VARNER WILL THOUSAND DOLLAR WHICH COL. McRARY SATISFY HIS HUND JUDGMENT FOR ALIE OF MRS. VARNER. Greenborn--Finding Mrs. Florence G. Varner guilty of improper relations with Baxter McRary, a federal court jury after 42 hours' deliberation at 10:10 o'clock last Saturday morning, returned a verdict denying her a "reasonable subsistence" from her husband, Col. H. B. Varner, prominent Lexington business man and publisher. While the jury went into the consultation room shortly before 9 o'clock indications were that it was still hopefully deadlocked. An hour later it sent word to Judge James E. Boyd that a verdict had been reached. Ten minutes later the jury men filed into the jury box in the federal court room and told the judge they had agreed. "What is your verdict, gentlemen?" Judge Boyd asked. "We have found Mrs. Varner guilty of committing adultery with R. Baxter McRary," Foreman Sumner declared. Whereupon Judge Boyd read the issue submitted to the jury to be answered and incorporated therein the decision of the jury. Three Issues Decided. The issues decided on by the jury were as follows: 1. Did the defendant (Varner) separate himself from the plaintiff (Mrs. Varner) and fail to provide her with the necessary subsistence according to his means and conditions in life, as alleged in the complaint? Answer: Yes. 2. Did the plaintiff commit adultery with R. B. McRary as alleged in the answer! Answer: Yea. 3. What shall, if any, should be allowed and paid or secured to the plaintiff for her reasonable subsistence from the estate of the defendant! Answer: Nothing. 4. Mr. Varner, who has been a patient at the Glenwood Sanitarium for several weeks, was prostrated at the news of the verdict and is seriously ill, according to attendants. Mrs. Varner Suffers Collapse. For several days she had been extremely nervous and when she received the verdict she collapsed. When her attorney, O. L. Sapp walked into the room and said: "Well, the jury has decided against you," Mrs. Varner gave way, according to unitarian attendants. O. L. Sapp, attorney for Mrs. Varner, who bore the brunt of the fight in her behalf, stated that he had little to say. As to whether an appeal will be taken he does not know and will not until Mrs. Varner has sufficiently recovered to talk of the case. P. M. Summers, Foreman of the jury, was reficient in discussing the case after the verdict was filed this morning. When questioned about the case his reply was: "I have served on many juries covering a long period of time, and have been called upon to decide many serious and important cases, but this has rivalled anything in my experience." Jurors Pray for Guidance Before filing from the room in which they had been confined for a greater part of the time since 4 o'clock last Thursday afternoon, the 12 men knelt and the entire jury, with bowed heads, leaned to an impassioned plea by one of their number for God to look upon their work and pronounce it well done. Members of the jury declared that no more powerful plea had ever ascended to heaven than the one sent up from the jury room on the third floor of the Federal Building. Guthrie Makes Strong Plea. One of the outstanding features of the trial was that of T. C. Guthrie, and Mr. Varner would be returned the winner. He made a strong plea for his THE BROAD AX client, declaring that Mrs. Varner would have had the same privilege of vindicating herself in Lexington following August 9, 1920, as if she had entered suit against the devil, with the trial taking place in hell. Her banishment to Utah gave her, however, said Mr. Guthrie, a chance to bring her case to "this court, and have it passed upon by a fair jury." Declaring that Mrs. Varner is one of the fairest specimens of God's handiwork, he said: "Varner tells you that on August 11, 1920, he would have given her a good character. Who is in a better position to tell you?" He declared that the Lexington people were seeing ghosts and that the rumors against Mrs. Varner were circulated by "Bovees." Mr. Guthrie ridiculed the testimony of O. P. Dickerson, in which he testified that he saw McRary and Mrs. Varner exchange signals on the night of July 21, 1920, and that he watched McRary enter the Varner property that night about 10 p. m., remaining until 1 a. m. With the exception of the signals, the same thing took place of July 22 and 23. The speaker said it is hardly conceivable that people would have such boldness and temerity in public places. Mr. Dickerson also testified that while in the alleyway in rear of the Varner home he saw McRary pass within four feet of him on the three nights in question. "This is not only improbable, but impossible," said he "Dickerson only four feet away," could not have remained unseen by McRary, while McRary was seen entering the rear porch of the house, 110 feet away, by Dickerson. He denounced the telephone operator's testimony, stating that these stories were hardly probable. He told of Mrs. Varner's good character for 19% years. He said that if it wasn't worth something now, then what is the use of a good character and that "our womanhood is in danger." The speaker hotly declared that Mr. Varner's pathway of revenge on McRary is over the bleeding, mangled remains of that woman (pointing to Mrs. Varner). "If he had taken," said he, "a pistol and shot her through the heart he would have done an act of mercy." Referring to the statement of Mr. Varner that he intends to donate the money, if any, received in his suit against McRary, to charity, asked: "What charity wants money from a man who gets it through the bleeding remains of his wife?" Mr. Guthrie concluded by pleading with the jury to acquit "this woman, for the sake of womanhood, of justice, and for the good name of North Carolina. With this charge hanging over her there isn't six feet of ground on earth for her." For some cause or other the Associated Press has been absolutely deed or silent on the Varner-McBary court proceedings, it may be that some one highly connected with the Associated Press has received a large bundle of hush money to smother it. It appears that so far it has been decided by the high courts of North Carolina that Col. and Mrs. Varner at the present time cannot separate for good through the divorce route and as Col. R. B. McBary has been banished from North Carolina, forbidden to return to his home in Lexington to look after the hundred thousand dollars worth of property which he owns in his home town, which in the course of time will fall into the hands of Col. Varner to satisfy the one hundred thousand dollar judgment which will be borne over the head of Col. McBary. CHICAGO, ILL, SATURDAY, MARCH 12, 1921 BRAMHETON The new President of the United States, who believes in looking after the welfare of the people in this country before attempting to assist the people residing in the old world. who is reputed to be the wealthiest colored man in North Carolina and state grand master of the colored Masons of that state. Everything seems to indicate that if Col. Varner can successfully hold onto this property and not be compelled to pay Col. McRary the money which they claim that he honestly owes him at the present time, that in time Mrs. Varner will become sufficiently purified or sanctified to return to her home in Lexington and join with her husband and greatly enjoy their newly acquired wealth or blood money wring from the coffers of Col. R. Baxter McRary. INTER-BACIAL CO-OPERATION IS STRADILY GROWNG. Over Six Hundred Counties Are Organized to Promote Friendly Race Relations—Negroes New Medical Schools and Universities—Aid From the Press—Atlanta Makes Progress. Hampton, Va.—Inter-racial co-operation is growing steadily throughout the Nation. In the South the inter-racial co-operation movement is receiving the hearty support of the church and the press, as well as the educational, business and community leaders. The Commission on Inter-racial Cooperation is the outgrowth of a conference which was held in Atlanta early in 1919 to consider some of the grave problems of race relationships that had been brought to the surface on account of the World War. It is now doing organized work in all the Southern states. The Commission is composed of white and colored men, including Dr. R. R. Moton, Dr. John Hope, Bishop R. E. Jones, Bishop G. W. Clinton, Dr. Isaac Fisher, and Dr. John M. Gandy. The officers include John J. Eagan, Chairman; R. W. King, Director; and Will W. Alexander, Associate Director. The headquarters of the Commission are in the Candler Building, Atlanta, Ga. The publications of the Commission include "Law and Order in Tennessee," by Edwin Mims; "An Appeal to the Christian People of the South," adopted by the recent Church Leaders' Conference at Blue Ridge, N. C.; "The Nashville Plan of Inter-Bacial Works," and "A Handbook for Inter-Bacial Committees," compiled by Edwin Mims. These publications do not attempt "to lay down any hard and fast plan of action for any state or community or to generalize and dogmatize." HON. WARRENG. HARDING. These publications, written in a Christian spirit, express the better public opinion of the South. They report concrete achievements of Southern communities and commonwealths, Prof. Edwin Mims of Vanderbilt University is one of a number of Southern white leaders who has ably presented "the facts of religious, economic, and social progress which have been the results of co-operative effort and of real constructive statesmanship." The Commission on Inter-racial Cooperation has wisely and quietly kept at work, organizing in some six hundred counties inter-racial committees that carry the burden of adjusting race relations before the breaking-point is reached and of helping to develop movements which will bring white and colored people into friendly relation. "These inter-racial committees are functioning in specific matters, such as justice before the law, adequate educational facilities, justice in public conveyances, economic justice, and the handling of any acute situation which arises between the races." Better Health and Better Education. The Inter-Racial Committee of the War Work Council of the V. M. C. A. has just issued a study of the various agencies that are working in the field of social welfare for increased interracial co-operation. The study, after referring to the splendid work some of the educational foundations, expresses the hope that aid will be given for the establishment of "at least three medical and nurse-training schools for Negroes which would compare favorably with any such institution in America for whites" and for the establishment of "a series of five or six universities running from Austin, Tex., to New Orleans, Atlanta, Nashville, Bichom, with perhaps one in Arkansas, one in Missouri, and one in the Carolinas." In the social and economic field thirty-six agencies—ten predominately white and twenty-six predominately Negro—are working on inter-racial cooperation programs. Twenty-three national or semi-national organizations are co-operating with Negroes of the South in the development of religious life. "Here, as in no other field, there is lack of unified statesmanship." Chambers of commerce, civic clubs, and local city organizations have been taking a lively interest in promoting inter-racial cooperation. Publicity has already been given to work in Nashville, Memphis, Atlanta, New Orleans, Louisville, Charlotte, Fort Worth, Chicago and Cincinnati. The need of bringing hospital facilities within the reach of the 12,000,000 American Negroes should be apparent to legislators and others who are responsible for our national health efficiency. In Nashville, for example, "there has been a notable improvement in the handling of news relating to the Negro. The activities of the race are given more and more prominence. One of the papers carries at least two columns every Sunday morning, summarizing the various activities among colored people. The reporters and editors have been made aware of the complaints sometimes registered as to their magnifying the crimes of Negroes and their minimizing their better achievements." The Y. M. C. A. study, in referring to the Atlanta Plan, says: "The general committees hold weekly meetings separately and joint meetings once a month. Any matters, requiring immediate action are handled by joint meetings of the appropriate sub-committees. By means of these committees rumors of race clashes have been investigated and quieted. "A junior high school has been secured for Negro pupils. A tract of land has been bought and presented to the city, to be developed into a park for Negroes. The chief of police is co-operating heartily in bettering conditions in certain sections. The officials of the Terminal Station are making every effort to provide more comfortable traveling facilities for Negroes. The Board of Education has materially increased the salaries of all colored teachers." A Developing Program The Commission has attempted to study what Negroes want; to agree on a program behind which it could rally white Christians; and to make its program effective. It has attempted to lead men and women to the light and to capitalize the interest of a growing number of thoughtful white men and women, many of whom are college trained, in securing justice for all Negroes. The Commission has recognized the fact that Negroes wish to develop along lines enjoyed by their white brothers. Its program has been a developing one. The program of the Commission on Inter-racial Co-operation, at its present stage, includes the following items: The prevention of lynching and the denial of legal justice to the Negro; the securing of adequate educational facilities; the development of sanitary housing and living conditions; the securing of recreational facilities; the estab- CHARLES E.

Tallahassee, Fla.—Have you ever been right to the stepping off place in this cussing business and the Lord called you right back to your common sense and saved you from making a sinner of yourself? When you come to yourself then you feel more like serving God than before. I am so glad that I know how to pray, and I am now asking "Father forgive the heathens in America and send some missionaries from Africa, Japan, China or some other heathen land to teach them the way of right and justice and remove prejudice from their hearts, that they may get closer to Thee." But the time is coming that some fools are going to be taught a practical lesson, and just how soon this is going to happen I am not prepared to say, but come it must. country to look into my case.

They are men worth while. Getting through with Mobile, I left There was a young man of my race a Pullman porter who was all but looking in heaven or the other place a few days ago in Houston, Tex. Before it was all over that imp of hades was on his knees praying to have a woman of his own race forgive him. If she had not been a sane woman, it is hard to tell where the porter would be tonight. Perhaps pushing the clouds. It happened in this way. She had the drawing room, and she called in the porter to do some work for her. He was in the room, and the other lady was having lunch. While she was in there and there was the porter, the Pullman conductor had all kind of spells and foamed at the mouth. He then telegraphed to Houston to have officers there to arrest the porter who had insulted a white passenger. The porter was ignorant of what was going on until he reached the station at Houston, the police officers and others walked in and placed him under arrest, placed handcuffs on him, and marched him out. In the meantime the conductor went to the woman and told her what had happened, and she became furious. "Whose business is it to make down my bed, and to wait on me on this train?" she asked that little thimble headed conductor, "yours or the porter's" I have been insulted. It is a reflection and that porter was a perfect gentleman, and I wish I could say the same thing about you. I am insulted, and I have been reflected upon, and your company shall pay dearly for this. I will see to it." She took the names of some of the passengers telling them who she was, and being of the best, they readily gave her their names, and I wish you could have seen them, turning the porter loose. He refused to go back on the car, except to get his belongings, but after reflection, decided upon the suggestion of the woman to remain at his post. We shall watch results. I have been going some these days, yet I am far from being well, and it looked as if I would have to return to Guthrie. I am feeling down at the heel as I write to you this week, but I hope to be myself in a few hours from now, and will be able to continue along down the road. If I should be called home, I want you to remember me. I have been fighting the light of faith, and I am on the Lord's side. You find me mingling with educated people, and this is a part of my life, to come in touch with those who are doing things. I think I have been in schools enough to be some pumkins in this education business myself. If you will look at last week you found me there in Baton Rouge, La., in Southern University with President J. S. Clark, Dr. W. D. Thomas and other big educators who were worth while, told you some of the good things the state is doing for its people under the administration of Governor Parker. Getting through with them, I went to Opolusia, La., spent one night with the Rev. Dr. L. C. Simona, returned and went to Bayou Sars, to visit a trained nurse, her sister and mother, Miss Elia Piper. Then I beat it through New Orleans, and being sick, I dropped in to have Dr. H. Roger Williams, one of the best phlebotomists in this country to look into my case. He went through the same thing like them other doctors, and listened to them bugs also, then he gave me some medicine. Dr. Williams has started from the ground and worked up. He knows what it is to earn an education, for he had to work for every inch of it he got, and he has made good use of it.

I called to see the busy young men, Knox Brothers, and paid my speeches to them, and called on the editor of their paper who was just putting his brains on paper. I am proud of these young men. They are men worth while. Getting through with Mobile, I left for this place on the L. & N. carriage drawn by the iron horse. I got in here about 4 o'clock in the morning and there were at the stable two young men waiting to tote me up to the college. I thought it was wonderful and I considered that President N. B. Young had paid me a high compliment. It made me feel like I was just a college president myself, and I guess I must be one, if I can only find the college and a name for it. I feel like time will allow me to use some more big sounds, and I can just make the education take notice, for I am sure they will not know what I say and I will not know myself, and I will look wise they will have to do so. When I met Dr. N. B. Yong, the President, and indeed a busy man, working for the uplift of man. He is extending his hands to his brothers telling them to come up. He wanted to know where I had been so long and told me to be at home. In reply I said, "Inkulatum riceturecki dontatemquetalobum." He don't know what I meant, and if my life depended upon it, I could not tell you what I said, but I wanted to impress him that I was delighted to be at the school again in life and to see the great improvements being made, and was sorry that they had recently lost a building by fire. I am in a good cussing mood here, for it was in this state where they lynched a man for trying to vote, and then so many places they just would not permit my people to vote at all. I tell you if I give you the facts as they come to me, they would make your hair stand up and weep and make the blood run warm throughout your whole being, and since I do not want to do this, I will wait a more sober moment. But believe me they did do some hellish things down here in Florida during the election, and some men and women alike are ready to tell it all when called upon to do so. I thank God that we have many of our young people here in school getting ready for better things and better days, as they must come. Tomorrow will be an improvement on today, and today is an improvement on yesterday. Time will be the great reformer. He is coming right now. We have a new administration. President Wilson is now a private citizen, and he will not be called upon to write any more notes. We are now looking forward to President Warren G. Harding and his Congress, and while we are not going to expect too much, we are looking for some real things to be done. We are not going to fall out with the South, but right down here we are going to remain, and fight it out on our knees and not with guns and the like. My sword is the sword of the spirit and I am an officer in God's army. I am following the lead of Jesus, which is always the right and safe lead. I have faith in the South, and I am not advising any one to leave nor am I telling them to stay, but take their choice, just as I am going to do. I think you will agree that I am right in this position. You have to do the living and you must make the selection. God help you to be wise. I am proud (Continued on page 2.)

Interracial co-operation will continue to grow steadily and yield rich returns in racial good-will and in economic production just in proportion as white and colored leaders are willing and able to face the facts of life—some of which are most distressing—with workable plans for group action and in a spirit of Christian tolerance. No one group can solve the intricate problem of race relations, but every group has a vital contribution to make to the ultimate solution of the problem.

Second Study of Negre Labor Issued by the Department of Labor. The Department of Labor has just issued a second study on Negro labor consisting of a monograph of 144 pages giving data about occupations in which Negroes were most generally employed during the war period, the average number of working hours, opinions of employers who employed Negroes and the Negro workers' records as to absenteeism, turnover, etc. The report also gives full account of the plans, policies, methods of handling the problems dealt with by the Department of Labor during the past three years for increasing the efficiency of Negro workers and improving the relations of Negro workers, white workers and employers. Figures showing the distribution of Negro men in unskilled occupations in twenty-six states, comprising 62,340 Negro workers in 292 firms in the different war industries in 1918 are given. The large percentage of increase of Negroes in meat-packing establishments from 1916 to 1919 and an analysis of the occupations of 24,648 Negro workers in the shipbuilding plants under the jurisdiction of the U. S. Shipping Board, studies of Negroes in iron and steel plants and other basic industries during the war are included. The opinions of employers who have had experience with Negro workers have been ascertained and tabulated. A brief summary is given of the large shift of colored women from domestic and personal service into industrial and clerical occupations during the war period. In commenting on the publication Dr. George E. Haynes of the Department of Labor said, "The facts given in this second study of Negro labor have been very carefully gathered, collated and analyzed. The tables and figures and other data while limited in quantity and scope are accurate and probably the most available and almost the only material covering these problems."

WHITE PLAGUE DEATH RATE FOR CHICAGO DROPS. The great white plague is losing its grip on Chicago, according to Health Commissioner Robertson's annual report on death causes which is nearly ready for publication. Tuberculosis is listed as the cause of 2,652 deaths in 1920. This is 572 less than in 1919 and 1,175 less than in 1918. A combination of circumstances which, in the opinion of health authorities, include prohibition, cleaner air, and the removal by death from "fu" in 1918 of many sufferers from tuberculosis accounts in part for the big saving in lives. The 1921 reports so far show a still further drop. Credits Aid Dispensaries "The marked decrease in the tuberculosis death rate in Chicago," Dr. Robertson said, "is due in a large part to the work done in our tuberculosis aid dispensaries. During 1920 we handled 32,000 cases. In 1915 there were 10,000 cases aided. We got hold of thousands of hidden cases, treated them as contagious, separated families, used same practical methods for cure. With a little more money we could keep the rate going down. "There is a decrease all over the United States, but not so marked as here. This is due in part to prohibition. People are getting more sleep and are not carousing or drinking so much. Another aid here has been in getting proper reports. We had 700 doctors working in one year. Where there were twelve deaths a day in 1915 there were seven in 1920." Death Rate Near Last Year's. In spite of the deaths of 2,037 persons from "fiu" last year, Chicago's death rate for the year remains practically the same as for 1919. The figures per thousand are: 1919, 12.52; for 1920, 12.77. The rate for 1918, the year of the great "fiu" epidemic, was 17.01. There were 34,841 deaths in 1920 as compred to 33,494 the year before, an increase of 1,347, but the increase in population held the percentage figure down. Chicago continues to hold the world's low record for metropolitan cities on typhoid fever deaths. Only thirty deaths occurred from typhoid during the year. Chlorinization of the water, the commissioner believes, had much to do with the new low record. Deaths from pneumonia, which travels along the influenza curve, hit 3,615, an increase of about 600 over 1919, but only a little more than half the record of 7,000 deaths made with the help of the flu epidemic of 1918.

THE BROAD AX, MARCH 12, 1821. Regulation of his daily life by the phases of the moon grow monotonous to Joseph Tranka of '7207 Winchester avenue, so he quit his job and his wife. Arraigned in Judge Holmes' court on a charge of non-support, he told all about his astrological household and the troubles it caused. If the moon shone in full-orbid glory, he said, the indications were that he would get his meals on time the next day. For hours Mrs. Tranka would bathe in the magical beans and on the morrow her enthusiasm for work was marvellous to behold. **Stars Fix Wash Day, Too.** Washing day was regulated by the planets, he declared. Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, Venus and Neptune ordained by their appearance in the heavens the days when his shirts should be washed. And far off in the erher were nebulac, comets, meteors, constellations, alien suns, fixed and variable stars, which made Mrs. Tranka's affections likewise variable. "I could not stand it," said Tranka. "The moon was her ouija board and the stars indicated all the changes in our household habits. "Every morning she went to see a fortune teller. She would return too late to prepare my lunch. At night she would leave the dishes unwashed to watch the heavens. Beware the Quarter Moon! "One day the moon would be full. That meant everything would be peaceful the next day. The house was cleaned, the meals prepared, and the dishes washed. "But more often the fortune teller would tell her to watch for a quarter or half moon. Those were the days I learned not to come home." Mrs. Tranka said her husband left her last week after quitting his job. The latter told the court he was driven to it, but promised to go back and provide for her. "And forget the moon," was Judge Holmes' parting advice to Mrs. Tranka AUTO PRIZE DANCE Five thousand is the number expected at the auto prize dance at the 8th Regiment Armory on Thursday, March 17, given for the benefit of the Chicago Urban League.

If you think you have seen the "Four O'Clock Stroll" on State street Bobbie Hardin will show you that you are mistaken; for Bobbie claims to have the only "Four O'Clock Stroll" in captivity. But he is not the only one that has something new for Miss P. L. Randle has the most graceful little minute you have seen in many a day. Charles Settles has something up his sleeve that will startle the whole crowd, while Miss Etta Johnson and Lewis V. Berry claim to have the surprises of the season. Another feature of the entertainment will be a special number by Harry Douglas, who as a high class artist, has few if any equals in his line. Mr. Douglas and his company have appeared just often enough to establish an enthusiastic following of ardent admirers who are expected to greet him in large numbers at the auto prize dance. And so they all will contend for popular approval in a special event, attractively and especially staged for this occasion. Each one of the artists will select a partner from his or her dancing class and give Chicago a real treat. The Fliver Dance. Even the limousine which will be given away will do some fliver stunts. The decorations are not to be lacks and the gala of the occasion promises to be impressive and spectacular. In this respect alone the entertainment is to be a unique contribution to social affairs. STILL MAKE BEAL, BEER, THEN TAKE THE "KICK" OUT There's lots or real beer in Chicago. Every day thousands of gallons are made. But it is supposed never to leave the breweries. When sent out the "kick" has been extracted and the beer becomes "near beer." This information was given out Thursday when this question was asked several breweries: "If physicians are allowed to prescribe beer would you have the real article on hand, or would the people have to wait!" "There is plenty or real beer on hand," declared Thomas Keeley, President of the Keeley Brewing Company, 516 E. 28th streek. "Brewers make nothing else. They never did stop making real beer after the eighteenth amendment went into effect. They merely started a process of decoholization in which by a vacuum process the alcoholic content was brought within the requirements of the Volstend Act. "It would be easier to supply real beer to the populace now than it is to supply near beer. The latter is a more complicated process. To turn out real beer all that would be necessary would be to put it into the bottles." Plans for the building of a colored community house in the residential section of Lake Forest were disclosed the first of this week when the Rev. H. E. Johnson, pastor of the Lake Forest African Methodist Episcopal Church, acquired title to a tract of land at the southwest corner of Bank lane and Illinois road. The site is just a block south of Market Square and within a block of the residences of Arthur T. Aldis, Charles F. Atkinson, and John T. McCutcheon, all of whom are absent from home. Many other residents of the vicinity are on winter jaunts in Florida, California, and other sunny spots. May Build Church, Too. "Our present plans," said the Rev. Mr. Johnson, who lives in Waukegan, "are to build a community house, but we may build a church also. The site, which is only 50x150 feet in area, may be added to later on. We intend to found an institution that will lift up the tone of the entire north shore. "All of our church members who so desire will be given training for domestic service to make them more useful and efficient employees in north shore homes." The property was purchased from Smith Hayes, colored, who owns other property adjoining. NEGROES BUY LOT FOR EVANS TON COMMUNITY HOME. Plans for the building of a Negro community store, office and lodge hall in Evanston were made known Thursday when twenty-two colored men, led by Forest E. White, a colored barber, and William H. Gill acquired to a fifty foot lot on Emerson street between Asbury and Railroad avenues. A similar movement was started last week in Lake Forest. The Negroes plan to build a three story building. The first floor will be used for stores, the second for offices for professional men, and the third will be used as a lodge hall. Each member of the organization contributed $100. Gill, who is a constable, a real estate dealer, owner of a laundry, a taxicab company, a newspaper, and is an editor and a preacher, said the Negroes expect to begin construction at once. TWO COLORED BURGLARS MADE THEIR GET AWAY WITH GOODS WORTH MORE THAN $50,000. Jesse Banks, 21, 3100 Ellis avenue, and Murray Bowden, 18, 3738 Prairie avenue, colored burglaries, have confessed to committing fifty burglaries in which they got goods valued at $50,000. The police have recovered $25,000 worth of the property. At one time it was contended that colored men would not steal anything but chickens, hams or a live shout, a bottle or a jug or whisky or some red-eyed moonshine, but it seems that Messrs Banks and Bowden will compare most favorably with the high class gentlemanly white burglaries who always rob and plunder on a large scale. GILPIN, THE COLORED STAGE STAR, WAS ONE OF THE HONORED BANQUET GUESTS. New York—Charles Gilpin, a colored star of a successful Broadway theatrical production, was one of the honor guests at a banquet attended by 600 members of the Drama League last Saturday evening. Some controversy had arisen as to the propriety of his being invited. Gilpin was one of ten persons chosen by the League as those who have done the most during the past year in advancing the art of the theater. Others were David Belsaco, producer; Jacob eBu-Ami, actor; Varesi, actress and writer; Lionel Atwill, actor; Dudley Biggs, director; Fred Stone, comedian; Engene O'Neill, author; Lee Simpson, scenic artist, and Margaret Severn, dancer.

MRS. ROSEWALD LEAVES $100, 000; AIDS CHARITIES. The will of Mrs. Augusta Rosenwald, mother of Julius Rosenwald, disposing of a $100,000 estate, has been filed for probate. Two hundred dollars was bequeathed to each of her two sons, Julius and Morris S. Rosenwald, and the balance is distributed among relatives, friends, and three Jewish welfare organizations. The Associated Jewish Charities received $5,000, the Ruth Club of Chicago $1,000, and the Deborah Boys' Home of Chicago $300. BEG YOUR PARDON. It was stated in the last issue of this paper, "that Captain Joe Devere Warner had secured a divorce from Mrs. Pearl M. Warner," his beautiful, smart and industrious young wife, but such was not the ease, for Mrs. Warner obtained the divorce, and not Captain Warner. Some claim that some of her praying friends induced her to divorce her former, husband, whom they claim has sown some wild oats in the past and that later on he will be united in marriage to Miss Rose Carr. ```markdown ``` 1930 HON.

Some of the advanced summer mod- ‘@s that the French designers have jsent us and some that our best American dressmakers are preparing are very attractive. In materials, drop-stitch yolles, ba- tistes, dotted swisses, organdies, Eng- Ush prints, handkerchief and heavy Hinens are used. ‘Then there are {m- Ported voiles and organdies, daintily embroidered, in many instances the fabrics being of & pale shade and the embroidery white. A frock made of such fabrics naturally would be very. simple, with perhaps a tiny ribbon girdle of a contrasting color. ‘We have had all of these materials. with us in past. sensons, but this year they are so retharkable in their color- ings and weaves that they give us fresh fnspiration. All the marvelous ves of the most beautiful silks have deen reproduced in plain, brocaded and checked organdles, volles, batistes and swisses. ‘The shades range from the palest tints to the deep browns, cerise shades and new reds. ‘The clothes prepared for those g0- ing South are noteworthy for the prac- tical element combined with the datntlest characteristic of summer ap- parel. ‘There are no extreme effects, All of the dresses are of designs sult- nble to the well-dressed woman's sum- mer wardrobe, Many of them are of the chemise type, with trimmings of drawnwork and hemstitching. When they are made with a waistline it is placed low on the hips. Youthful Model in“Green Linen. In direct opposition to the straight- line frocks are those for young girls and the slender woman. ‘These have very full skirts, with a tendency to- ward the extended hip.

The plateau is elevated 0,000 feet above the sea, and there are summits towering 5,000 feet higher, but the close proximity of the equator has covered the great plain with luxuriant vegetation. The climate is a perpetual May, birds sing in every bush and the only animals are a few marshlands, such as ground kangaroos and opossums. Yet this lovely region is literally deserted. The million Papuans live in the swoltering coast jungles and only occasionally stray to the uplands. Arabas Long on Handshaking. When friendly Arabs meet their salutation is almost grotesque, for they shake hands seven or eight times, and sometimes repeatedly kiss each other. Meaning of Foverish Dream. To dream you have a fever signals that you will excite the envy of your friends; also difficulties with your lover. Life Calls for One's Best. To make a success of life you must be always at it with your eye on the job. Diversion will stimulate for more intensive effort, but the effort itself must have no diverting influence. "This one thing I do," says the apache, and in doing it he wins. Keep your eye on the ball and get your bent into the game. Sense of Apologizing. Apologizing—a very desperate habit—one that is rarely cured. Apologizing is only agitism wrong side talk. Five times out of ten, the first thing a man's companion knows of his shortcomings is from his apology—Oliver Wendell Holmes. THE BROAD AX, MARCH 12, 1921.
