The Official Campaign Committee to Raise One Hundred Thousand Dollars; For a Greater Fort Dearborn Hospital and Training School for Colored Nurses; Met at The Appomattox Club, Wednesday evening. Hon. Thomas Carey, President of The Chicago National Life Insurance Company, Presided. Wednesday evening the members of the official campaign committee to raise $100,000 for the greater Fort Dearborn Hospital and Training School for Colored Nurses, met in the parlors of the Appomattox Club, 3632 Grand Ward. Hon. Thomas Carey, President of the Chicago National Life Insurance Company, the able chairman of the campaign committee, presided over the meeting and a nice luncheon as served and greatly enjoyed before a general discussion was entered into containing to the best way to raise the hundred thousand dollars for a greater Fort Dearborn Hospital. The following gentlemen were seated around the long banquet table. Hon. Thomas Carey occupying the seat of honor at its head; Hon. Henry Sturkart, one of the best and most popular business men in Chicago; Hon. James W. Breen, First Assistant Corporation Counsel of Chicago; Hon. George B. Holmes, Judge of the Municipal Court of Chicago; Hon. Chas. Irish, Cashier of the Roosevelt State Bank; Hon. James H. Lawley, Trustee of the Sanitary District of Chicago; Hon. S. B. Tuner, member of the Legislature of Illinois from the First Senatorial District; Mr. John D. Gainey; Dr. F. C. Cade; Attorney Augustus L. Williams; Hon. Matt. A. Mueller, Trustee of the Sanitary District of WOMEN WOMEN GREATEST FAC TEES IN INTER-RACIAL AMITY. Women everywhere exercise a far more making influence over the men. This is true today and everywhere just as was when God first made man a man and placed them in the hands of Eden. The story is well known. What our country is today, women have been the greatest factors in making it so, and what it will be in the future, largely lies in the power and dexterity of the women of America. And if America fails to measure up to the standard, it will be because the women fail to live up to the principles taught by the lowly Nazarete; it will be because the women of America have lost their noble ideals in the selfish struggle for places in the world. That terrible Tulsa tragedy, in which hundreds of lives were lost and property valued at more than five millions of dollars was destroyed by fire and thieves, happened because, as one man has so well stated it, "a white women was mystical at the wrong time." Black behind all rioting and lynching is the thought that white women need special protection, other than that granted by the laws of our country. How many innocent black men have with their lives—lynched and burned at the stake, in the name of protection of white womanhood? the white women of America can under their country a great patriotic service by insisting that the laws of the land are adequate for their protection. The women of the colored race have again and again shown forbearance and unity which have safeguarded the peace of many communities, yet their presentations were not imaginary but well and painful, and the white women could do the same thing. They who come in contact with our race could serve as messengers of peace and harmony and understanding between the women by selling of the colored race's qualities and deeds, things which promote understanding and peace, and at the same time minimize those qualities which lead to misunderstanding and subsequent tragedies. If white women of our country would put their feet down on lynching, lynchings would soon be a thing of the past. As long as the white women look upon the lyncher as a hero, lynching will continue, and no federal or any other law against it can prevail. The white women of America owe a debt of gratitude to the men of our race. History does not record a single THE BROAD AX Chicago; Dr. M. J. Brown; Hon. Louis B. Anderson, Alderman of the Second Ward; Hon. Oscar De Priest; Hon. S. A. T. Watkins, President of the Appomattox Club; Mr. Julius F. Taylor, Vice-Chairman of the Campaign Committee; Mr. C. Croak; Mr. Wm. Bottoms; T. Frank O'Connell, one of the directors of the Chicago National Life Insurance Company; Mr. Charles B.

Roberts, member of the Legislature of Illinois from the Third Senatorial District; Mr. Jacob L. Parks and Mr. A. M. Dozier. The majority of the above mentioned gentlemen delivered highly interesting talks along the line of raising money which is so much needed to enlarge the Fort Dearborn Hospital and Training School for Colored Nurses, so that they can receive the proper training in that direction, and each and every one present felt confident that, with the proper amount of hard work of each and every member of the Campaign Committee, and on the part of the seven hundred Colored ladies who are actively interested in the movement, that the $100,000 will be raised in the five days' drive from September 19 to September 24. instance wherein a colored man took advantage of the absence of the men of their race, during those early war days when the entire white male South was called to arms in their defense, and harmed them in any way whatsoever. And now that the name and very life of colored men are jeopardized by the word of any white woman, the thinking white women should utter a protest so loud that the entire nation will hear and heed. As one writer states the case: "By the divine law of reaping as one sows, if the white woman is not moved to uproot the crimes done in her name, if ever the scales are turned, God help her! God have mercy on her soul! The white women in America possess wonderful powers of organization. And we believe if they could once be convinced that the lawlessness of America is theirs, they would purpose in their hearts to remove the accursed lynching that is the chief source of racial antagonism."—The Advocate, Portland, Oregon, September 3, 1921. "AGAINST CATHOLICS, JEWS AND NEGROES." We have never thought seriously that the Ku Klux Klan would ever really amount to anything except a nuisance and a menace to Colored people in the rural unprotected sections. That was when we had concluded that the Klan only meant to "keep the Negro in his place." But since it has leaked out that the Ku Klux Klan is against the "Catholics, Jews and Negroes" we know it is "Good Night, Ku Klux." The Colored Brother is the weakest of the trio, we admit. And we seriously doubt if he meant to take any Ku Klux foolishness without giving an "eye for an eye." But with the other two elements of the nation's population—two of its strongest elements, the Jew and the Catholic—to have common cause with him, the Colored Brother need bother no longer. That is to say, it is only a matter of time now and the Ku Klux Klan will go back to the grave from which it sprung "unwep, unhonored and unsung." But while we are passing, we might point out the irony of this thing: the Klan calls itself 100 per cent American and says its object is to crush all un-Americans. What a joke when it announces as the subjects of its persecution "The Catholic, the Jew and the Negro" the three most truly 100 per cent Americans in the nation.—The News, Louisville, Ky., Sept. 3, 1921. 101 President of the Chicago National Life Insurance Company, Appeals to the Colored Citizens of Chicago to Rally to the Support of the Fort Dearborn Hospital and Training School for Colored Nurses. COMMODORE PECK WILL HAVE CHARGE OF THE GREAT STREET PARADE ON CHICAGO DAY, OCTOBER 8. Commodore Ferdinand Peck has just returned from New York where he succeeded in inducing Mayor Hylan and Commissioner of Police Enright of New York to be guests of the City of Chicago on the occlusion of the great parade that will occur on the semicentennial anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire of '71. The Mayor of New York Commissioner Enright and ex-Governor Tener are expected to arrive at 4 p.m., October 7th, at the Michigan Central depot, and will be enceased by the celebrated Chicago Woman's Band, preceded by their great silk American flag just presented to them, which band is headed by Commodore Ferdinand Peck, Honorary President. The escort and guests will proceed up Michigan avenue to the City Hall, where they will be received by the executives of the city. At 12 o'clock noon, Saturday, October 8th, the parade will form at Roosevelt road and Michigan avenue, headed by the Mounted Police, followed by the Police Band, then the Commodore's Chicago Woman's Band, which on that day will number 180 playing members, followed by all the Police of Chicago and the entire Fire Department.

CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1921. HON. THOMAS CAREY COACH "JOHNNY" SHELLBURNE ISSUES CALL FOR FOOTBALL PRACTICE AT LINCOLN. Lincoln University.—The fireworks of the 1921 season will commence at Lincoln University on Wednesday September 14. Coach Shellburne has issued the call for all candidates to report at the University on that day for preliminary practice. The preliminary fundamentals will occupy the whole of the first week's practice, with a view to looking over some material which gave promise last year and of getting a line on the new men who are entering for the first time. Shellburne has the entire Alumni and student bodies of the University behind him in the drive to return things in football to "Normaky." Dr. W. G. Alexander, the graduate manager, and A. D. Williams, the student manager, are bending every effort to do all that can possibly be done to insure the success toward which all are aiming. All football candidates will report to Coach Shellburne and Capt. Laws in the gymnasium at Lincoln at 2 p. m. September 14, ready for a strenuous season of work. Practice will be held both morning and afternoon till colleges onens. Most of the men who made their letter last year are returning to school this year, and there are indications that many of the new men who are expected will displace some of the "Varsity" men of past years. Rumor has it that "Sam" Parr, who is eligible to play one more year, is returning to complete some work. This will gladden the hearts of all Lincolnites who saw last Thanksgiving's catastrophe! And remember that Parr was the one redeeming feature of the Lincoln squad. Dr. W. H. Davis returned from his trip to Boston, New York, Montreal, Toronto and Detroit last Tuesday. He reports having had the time of his life. THE NECESSITY CLUB WILL ENJOY SOME OF THE BENEFITS OF TAG DAY, SEPTEMBER 12.

NEGROES HEED K. K. K. NOTE. PICK COTTON. Corsicana, Tex., Sept. 8.—A notice signed “K. K. K,” posted in the Negro section of Blooming Grove, near Corsicana, warning Negroes that they must pick cotton, resulting in virtually all Negroes there reporting for duty today. The Negroes had been demanding 75 cents a hundred pounds. It was said 50 cents was the rate today. Rev. T. L. Scott, the eloquent and wide awake pastor of Grant Memorial A. M. E.

THOMAS CAREY, PRESIDENT OF THE CHICAGO LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND CHAIRMAN OF THE CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE TO RAISE ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR A GREATER FORT DEARBORN HOSPITAL AND TRAINING SCHOOL FOR COLORED NURSES, ISSUES THE FOLLOWING APPEAL TO THE COLORED CITIZENS OF CHICAGO- CHICAGO, SEPTEMBER 8. 1921 I wish to state that a number of leading citizens called upon me to accept the General Chairmanship of the Fort Dearborn Hospital and Training School for Nurses in their fund-raising campaign for $100,000. I hesitated for sometime, owing to the many business interests with which I am connected, that requires my personal attention, and I was loath to accept the honor at this time, but after listening to their most worthy and human appeal, I investigated the institution and the men who were directors and advisory members of the board, and found them some of the prominent business men residing in the immediate community, in whom the management could safely be entrusted for the benefit of the masses, second to none, and that the Fort Dearborn Hospital and Training School for Nurses, being a real public institution, controlled by public spirited men for the public good, with a BIG MEETINGS ARE BEING HELD IN THE INTEREST OF THE DOUGLASS NATIONAL BANK. On last Sunday afternoon the pastor and members of the Friendship Bapist Chureh, Lake and Ada streets, as assembled in large numbers to welcome Mr. P. W. Chavers, president of the Board of Directors of the Douglass National Bank, and listened to several well delivered addresses on the most vital subject: "The economic development of our group." The audience was enthusiastic and vociferous in its reception of the speakers, Dr. E. S. Miller, Attorney S. A. T. Watkins, Mr. A. S. Peal and P. W. Chavers. The fame of the bank has spread to such an extent that upon the invitation of a citizens' committee of sixty-eight members the officers and friends, numbering twenty-five persons, went to Joliet on Labor Day. A very large audience was in attendance at the Community Center there, and listened attentively to splendid and instructive talks by Mr. Chavers, Dr. Miller, Mr. Watkins, Mr. Peal and Mrs. Clarke. Under the guidance of Rev. B. P. Madox and Mrs. Ransom, who headed the committee, a large number of subscribers were obtained. Hon, Patrick H. O'Donnell will speak at Metropolitan Community Center on Sunday afternoon, Sept 11, under the auspices of the Doulgass National Bank. An overflow crowd is expected.

Therefore, I consented to be the General Chairman of the campaign, and have surrounded myself with many of the leading white and colored men and women to carry on this movement. Therefore, I now ask and desire loyalty and co-operation from the colored men and women as well as the white people who can be served in the area of this institution for their hearty support. I have every reason to believe that my request will be granted and that a Greater Fort Dearborn Hospital and Training School will become a reality within the next thirty days, and that it will stand out as a monument to the Community's Progress. Thomas Carey, General Chairman. BEWARE OF BORROWING A NEWSPAPER. A woman who was too economical to subscribe for her home paper sent her little son to borrow a copy from her neighbor. In his haste the boy ran over a four-dollar stand of bees, and in ten minutes looked like a warty summer squash. His cries reached his father, who ran to his assistance, and failing to notice a barbed wire fence, ran into it, breaking it down, cutting a handful of flesh from his anatomy and ruining a five-dollar pair of pants. The old cow took advantage of the gap in the fence and got into the cornfield and killed herself eating corn. Hearing the racket, the mother ran, upsetting a four-gallon churn of rich cream into a basket of kittens, drowning the whole litter. In her hurry she dropped and broke, past all hope of mending, a twenty-five dollar set of false teeth. The baby, left alone, crawled through the spilled cream and into the parlor, ruining a twenty-dollar carpet. During the excitement the eldest daughter ran away with the bired man, the dog broke up eleven setting hens and the calf got out and chewed the tails off of four fine shirts. All to save a measly dollar—Exechange. Mrs. Elizabeth Lindsay Davis, 3710 Indiana Avenue, returned Friday from a delightful three week's vacation at Carbondale and Pooria, Ill., accompanied by her sister, Mrs. James W. Conner, who will visit relatives and friends for two weeks. Mr. and Mrs. Jas. W. Woodlead, 3561 Rhodes Avenue, entertained at cards in honor of Dr. and Mrs. W. M. Washington, of Montgomery, Ala. Dr. and Mrs. Washington left the city Saturday for their home, greatly pleased with the many courtesies extended them during their stay.

A BUNCH OF TYPE OR TWO HUNDRED, MORE OR LESS WHO MADE MY SKIN BLACK? Who made my skin black, mother and why is my hair so crisp? Who made my lips so thick, mother and give my speech its lisp? Who was it that sweetened my heart with love, and intellect to grow? Tell me before I go to sleep, tell me for I must know. Who brings the shadow to darken life, and who is it blocks my road? Who is it brings the clouds o'er me to make so heavy life's load? Who is it, mother, that scorns my skin, and frightens me with woe? I am anxious to have a freeman's chance, so tell me, for I must know. The mother she knew, but she would not tell her darling little boy. She knew if he lived and tasted life that his cup would fill with joy. He must learn some things that troubled his soul, and reconcilate at best His noblest nature with the fitness of things, and that would be his test. So the years went by, the boy was a man, it takes some years to know. He had learned a deal about life and its woes, for he had his woe. And later when sterner years came along with still much fairer skies. The boy now a man had reached great heights with hopes he could realize. So it matters not if your skin be black, if it is you need not grope, You must have some bitters and some sweets if only you would hope. But don't give up and lose a heart because it suffers pain Just set your mind on the furthest star it is written you must attain.

Everybody working at breakneck speed, making more money than they ever did before. Then was the time to be careful, frugal, and saving. Sime did save. Most of them did not, they spent money like water on the most frivolous things. A few women and girls bought fur coats. They wanted to look like they were in easy circumstances. Of course nearly every one has a streak of vanity in them. A great many men bought hundred dollar suits and overcoats. Some of the more economical saved and bought a house or a flat as investment. Now we are all looking as hard as ever we could look for the return of good times, and mayor Thompson is trying hard to bring it to us. The mill will never grind with the water that has passed. WATCH YOUR STEP The women are wearing cames on their shoulders, and feathers on their shoes. Well, if it makes them look any better than they already look the men had better take warning, and do something to improve their looks. If looking like you are going to fly, and besides having an art museum attached to ones shoulder is the fad; the only advice we can offer the man is to wear eagle's wings on the shoulder. Others more dainty may wear canary bird's wings to their shoulders. THE JUDGE APPRECIATES HIS PATRONS. Pat and Mike heard a bird singing in the tree. They got to fight each A.

The preacher has a grudge on empty benches, He has found a way to bring us up to taw; The world's about to turn to fuming stenches, And to save us we must hear the gospel law. We are a lot of sinful hypocrites of sorrow, We have wandered far away from all that's good; They are calling us to come back, not tomorrow, But today, and we may go back, and we should. "Steward." HOW TO KEEP A GIRL FROM LEAVING HOME. One of the ways to keep a girl from leaving home when she gets mad with her father and mother is to be very polite and accommodating to her. Don't talk back to the dear heart-sick girl, and show your authority, if you do she will grow rebellious. Take her in the kitchen and show her how to make an angel cake, and incidentally tell her that she is mother's sweet angel cake maker. Learn to "shoot the bull" to her, and promise her a birthday party, and talk with her of her list of friends she wants to attend it. Don't ever resort to rough stuff as the girls of this period of the world's history won't stand for it. Take her to church with you, and sit with her among the young people of the church. If you take her to a show buy her gum, ice cream cones and chocolate candy. It is better to spend a few dimes on her than to have to spend a few dollars, and then, after all the trouble is done. WHAT IS A WHITE PERSON? There are two kinds of white people in Louisiana, wonder how many kinds there are in Illinois? If a person with a sixteenth, or an eighth are as white as any other person, by what method of calculation can the truth be reached or proved that all white people are not sixteenth, or eighths? What difference does it make? Is it blood? Is it skin? Is it hair? We had some no- THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1921 "Justice."

A thousand years from now the whitest man will be looking for the blackest woman to wed, but she will be so rare he will have to advertise for her. A thousand years from now the blackest man on earth will be looking for the whitest woman to wed, but she will be so rare he will have to advertise for her. A thousand years from now there won't be any white, nor any black, we will all be about the same color, and if it is that far off who in the future cares a single rap! NO BACK DOOR HONORS PLEASE Wouldn't it be beautiful if we could learn to think great things of people of our race? We must do it. When we see a man or woman of our own, doing the things out of the ordinary, if we but give them a prominence we know they deserve without waiting for some other race to call them great, then we will have made a start toward race honor and distinction that would make God proud of us. Let us stop receiving honors from others back door. THERE WAS A WET MOON You never can tell about a picnic. Leafy Grove, they say, was as wet as Lake Michigan, for there was moonshine and sunshine and other shines, we've been told. There were monkey shines and static shines, and bottles that were bold. There were brushed heads and a few light heads, and heads that had to dodge, and lot of other heads were missed in the melee. Soda pop was not the only popular thirst killer it seems at Leafy Grove. A GREAT REWARD Who has a recipe for a better drink Has a fortune nailed down for the think. MID-SUMMER MUSICAL AT APPO MATTOX CLUB A representative and appreciative audience greeted the star participants on the program of this great Club at its auditorium on last Sunday, under the direction of J. Gray Lucas, chairman of its music committee. Standing room only, was the greeting to those late. The high standard set by Atty. Lucas, by avocation a music lover and patron of the fine arts, has been maintained throughout his successful season of musicals at the Club; growing more interesting to musicians and lovers of the art universal at each rendition, thus giving the most universal of pleasures of the better kind impetus and encouragement. A brief review of the program may be of interest, since the artists who graced the interesting program are so highly rated, respectively. Miss Irene Howard, premier cornetist of the race, just from her rural vacation in Michigan was at her best; her delicate shadings and resonant fortissimo, with double and triple tongueing ad libitum, touched the heart at times, particularly in the well known "Samson and Delilah" air—"My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice," which received a merited encore. But in her rendition of the celebrated Russian Hymn as a brilliant "Fantasie" by the unmusical name, Casey, she tickled the ears of the very groundlings, and unwrapped everything in the art of cornet playing. Mr. Lawrence Lomax, who has so long ago only as one year been regarded as a lyric tenor, demonstrated the most surprising vocal growth that the writer has ever observed; his voice now being a robust tenor of great range, and his art of great and gripping dramatic power. He amused and delighted his audience first, by opening the program (always shunned by artists) with the celebrated and popular Bigoleto air, "Woman So Changeable," which brought an immediate response from the presence. He responded with the beautiful "Because," which produced a very marked effect upon his audience, complacent and subdued, until he reached his climax in a fortissimo which rattled the rafters and aroused echoes. His "Thank God for a Garden" was of the same character, with a rousing finale. His beautiful singing of this song is one of his chief possessions which he is regularly required to repeat. What shall be said of Madame DeWitt Smith, that magnetic but petite lady of rare type! Is she best as vocalist or reader! On this occasion she was requested to read—she also sang most charmingly—the little song of the Chinese girl in her dramatic, yet comediac reading of the "Son-Daughter." A wonderfully drawing and touching gem from the drama of that name, by Belasco. Did you not hear her, then read it. She was at her best; and in the costume of a Chinese girl of distinction and nobility. Though lengthy, you might have heard the drop of a pin, so closely was her audience held to the sudden end—a glorious burst of nipplause to the genius of her art. In Miss Cleo Dickerson, a recent honor graduate of a post course from the Chicago Musical College, that celebrated school, where so many celebrities have labored for the goal, had a fitting representative. She played the great and acknowledged difficult "A Minor Concerto" by Grieg, by some regarded as his masterpiece, in a thoroughly composed and scholarly manner; from its moody beginning to its estatic conclusion Miss Dickerson was master of self, yet played with the abandon which bespeaks the true artist. Her rendition of this number, so difficult in technic and interpretive subtlety, placed her in the front rank of the younger pianists. The concluding number on the program, and what is regarded by artists as the honor place, was reserved for the appearance of Madame M. Calloway-Byron, that great artist so seldom heard here at her home; though in other parts of this country she has more frequently appeared. In Europe, France, Germany, Sweden, Spain and even in that land of song, Italy—she is quite well known as a most unusual dramatic soprana, singing in the several languages of the countries mentioned, acceptably, too. No higher compliment can be offered a singer of any other nation—not to speak of race—than to be able to sing to that people in their vernacular, and to their satisfaction and applause. Such are her accomplishments, such her experience. Many were the persons, hearing her on this program, unaware of the wonderful achievements and experiences of the singer, abroad, before the Great War forced the cancellation of her contracts for two seasons ahead, entranced, delighted and enthralled, at her wonderful power and sway of her audience, even for a dramatic soprano; from her touching and timbrous low C to her high C—all thrilling, colorful, convincing and compelling; whatever the register—whichever the tone. The evenness of her scale of more than two octaves is rare, to say the very least. Madame Byron chose for her vocal and dramatic expression a wonder song, and few there be to essay it—using good judgment. It was Ponehichi's "Suicidio" from the opera, seldom heard, "La Gioconda." In her expression of the heroine's despair and decision that naught was left but suicide, no mere dramatic expression could equal what her musical expression made of and added to the tense situation drawn about the singer, until she was the incarnation of the heroine herself. She sounded the very depths of human despair and misery, and although sung in Italian, her audience heard, felt—understood. In her enceore, which was rapturously given, when the audience finally found itself, the Madame came back with a Russian "Nightingale" song, that for delicacy of expression, nuance, roulette and trill, was the climax of technical expression. The song writer had exhauted his art in giving written expression to the bird's song—no part of the singer's art was left unrecorded. The singer sang the song, the music as it was; but far beyond the power of the writer, however skillful to depict, the Madame sang, as it could not be recorded, save on the phonograph the song of the lark; as only the Southern mocking bird can imitate it. She skipped not, slurred nor blurred a note of the rapid passages, as only birds save few, can do; nor left unexpressed one single interpretive thought. The Madame's trill! Well, there are trills and there are trills!! Hers are the last named. They were those of the Mocking bird; not sometimes on, more oftimes on the pitch-in that wavering and uncertain tone that oftimes makes you fear the singer will never again reach the pitch-ever and anon accelerating her alternations in her endeavor to steady herself. Sometimes it was a cry of sorrow, sometimes one of joy and sometimes it was just a trill for the pleasure of singer and the sought. On the semitone, on the whole tone, and the next phrase almost on the third a differing coloring chasing the other kaliiedoscopically. Few coloratura soprani can get away with this number as did Madame Byron, the Diva. For her last number, demanded, she gave the Suni Indian "Sun God," a wonderful and weird composition; but tuneful and impressive. The number ends with a simple prayer and "Bless us." A fitting ending it was to a perfect day and program that we shall long again to be blessed to hear. Miss Gussie Rue Harris, of Birmingham, sang an acceptable group of songs. Mrs. Charles Burton was the graceful accompanist of Madame D. WittSmith as well as for Miss Irene Howard. Her work was especially delicate in accompanying the Madame's reading of the "Son-Daughter," and sustaining in the "Fautasie." Madame Beatrice Smith-Price, a niece of Mrs. J. Gray Lucas, was the accompanist for Mr. Lomax and also for Madame Byron. Her work was truly that of an accompanist; for though there was the temptation to the solo pianist that she is, to do some brilliantly loud phrases, in answer to the big tones and larger moments of the singers, she ever and anon subordinated her tone to that of the soloist, and never once forgot that she was accompanist.

No emerg as any possible means been rendered before tate has been very low is considered. The no hundred and forty-two would be much more The work done by the Fort Dearborn Hospital in the past, and that planned for the future is very high class, thoroughly scientific and ethical. The average number of patients per day for the last twelve months is forty, although at times when it was necessary to resort to extra beds and cots, it ran as high as seventy. No emergency case has ever been turned away when there was any possible means of taking care of it, and in most cases first aid has been rendered before the patient was sent to an institution less crowded. The death rate has been very low, especially if the extensive variety of cases treated is considered. The number of operations performed was one thousand two hundred and forty-two, charity or free work done averaged 20 per cent, and would be much more had we the facilities.

Elizabeth street. The back lawn and the front of the house were illuminated with Chinese lanterns and decorated with American flags. Dancing was part of the gaities of the evening. The Englewood Boys' Orchestra furnished some fine music. A short musical and literary program was rendered as follows: Recitation, "Falling of the Leaves," Miss Helena Carter. Piano solos by Miss Bernice Henderson. Miss Minnie McCoo, and Miss Lillian Smith. At the conclusion of the program refreshments were served. The committee in charge of the pleasant affair were Mrs. A. Cummings, chairman; Mrs. Ella Harvey, Mrs. C. Brown, Mrs. S. Beard, Mrs. McCoo, and Mrs. Meredith. Dr. and Mrs. R. H. Howard, 2226 W.

IMPROVING. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILL. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1921. CHIPS Mrs. David M. Manson returned home Saturday evening from spending the summer season at beautiful Idlewild, Mich. The outing was very beneficial to her in every way, for she is more than the picture of health and she will continue to look ever so lovely and sweet until it is time to return to Idlewild in 1922. Mr. and Mrs. Manson will continue to occupy their quarters at the Vincennes Hotel. Mrs. William C. Casey, 614 E. 46th street, has returned to the city from her summer vacation at Idlewild, Mich., and she will resume her duties as teacher in the public schools for the winter. Mrs. Carrie Warner, 3822 Calumet Avenue, has arrived home from her two weeks vacation trip to Idlewild, Mich., where she greatly enjoyed herself. Mrs. W. J. Meacham, 3414 Calumet Avenue, continues to become more actively interested in the great drive to raise one hundred thousand dollars for a Greater Fort Dearborn Hospital, and she is also getting twenty of her lady friends interested in the movement. Salt and Damness Salt is what is called "hygroscopic," that is, it eagerly absorbs moisture. In fact, both air and salt are absorbents of moisture and it is a contest between them as to which gets it. Results depend on atmospheric conditions. Ordinary atmosphere always contains a proportion of moisture, and warm air is apt to be more humid than cold, as it absorbs and holds water vapor more readily than cold air. Salt has such affinity for moisture that under such conditions it draws it from the air. When the air becomes dry, the moisture is given up by the salt, which in turn becomes dry as it returns the moisture to the air. Softest Known Wood. Trees belonging to the genus Jacaranda, growing in tropical America, are remarkable for their soft wood. After part of the bark is cut away a macadite can be shoved to the center of the trunk with ease. The wood, when fresh, can be cut into blocks with a knife, as one would cut up parsnips or turnips. As the wood dries, it shrinks to a small fraction of its original bulk. Another Theory of the Flood. A new theory of the flood has been discovered in South Africa. Hydrographers investigating the waterways of Uganda have found indications that Lake Victoria and other central African lakes were at one time vast inland seas, which a little excess of rainfall would cause to overflow into the lands to the north. The discovery of primitive stone implements along the old water levels prove these to have been within the "human" period. Few Insects Harmful to Man. Relatively speaking, very few species of insects are harmful in any way to man and his works. The injurious species amount to less than 1 per cent of the whole. On the other hand, a great many, species are beneficial to mankind. Pollination of crops like clover would be impossible without insect visitations, and the same is true of many garden flowers and important fruits. NURSES NEW ORLEANS IS THREATENED WITH RACE RIOT. New Orleans, La., Sept. 5.—A race riot of grave proportions threatened to develop in Gretna, a suburb, late tonight as the climax of a series of disturbances which started there this afternoon in a clash between whites and Negroes during a Negro ball game. Police here were held ready to answer any call from Gretna, which is across the river from the city proper. The sheriff of Jefferson parish sent every available deputy to Gretna with orders to shoot to kill in the event that mob violence was threatened, according to reports. One Negro is reported killed. Shortly after 11 o'clock police lines were formed about the two story frame structure where the Negroes held an indignation meeting. The building was fired. All occupants escaped, according to information from police. Spread of Bathing In Europe. Bathing came to Europe as one of the good results of the Crusades. The Knights of the Cross found baths in general use among the Saracens, and seeing what good things they were, on returning from those wars took the initiative for their introduction. In this they were highly successful first in England and from that to other countries. So popular did the bath become that it became customary to have one before ceremonies such as marriage or knighthood, and the people have been ever since learning the value of keeping their skins clean. Regiment Proud of Long Service. Regiment Proud of Long Service. The Third infantry, the oldest regiment of our army, which dates from 1784, has developed its arms to show its early service in Mexico. One interesting device used by this regiment is a baton crossed with an oldtime bayonet back of the shield. The baton which figures prominently in the regiment's history was made from the flagstaff of the capitol of the City of Mexico and was taken when the city was captured. It is still one of the most highly prized possessions of the regiment. Shell-Cracking Bird Certain species of birds which inhabit eastern Africa possess the largest and strongest beaks known to ornithologists. One of these is the open-bill or shell ibis. It is a long-legged, stork-like bird, which has a beak like a nutcracker. The parts of the bill cannot be closed in the middle. It eats frogs and fishes, but its favorite food is fresh water molluscs, the shells of which it can crush with the powerful beak. Fundamental Business Principles Fundamental Business Principles. From a purely coldblooded business point of view, honesty is the best policy. To treat the other man as you would have him treat you is an equally fundamental business principle. This does not mean that you should surrender your rights or neglect to avail yourself of your opportunities. It simply means that in the game of business, the same rules of sportsmanship should prevail as in a boxing bout, in a match of golf, or in a football game.—John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Force of Gravity Force of gravity varies according to height above sea level and distance from the equator. As the force of gravity is 32.1612 feet a second in New York, 32.1528 feet a second in San Francisco and 32.1184 in Key West, an object would weigh most in New York and least in Florida. Had No Rights at AM Paul and Anthony own a wagon in partnership. Sometimes Paul exerts a little more authority than is pleasing to Anthony. On one of these occasions Anthony sought his mother and, after yelling his troubles, added: "Mother, Paul treats me like the ugly sisters treated Cinderella." Saw Value of Fortifications John Ziska, a famous leader of the Hussite party in Bohemia, gained the title of "father of the modern art of fortification." In 1420 he took up a strong position near Frague on an eminence since known as Ziskaberg, and held it with a few thousand men against an army of 30,000. English Poetry and Prose If there is anything in literature as wonderful as English poetry it is English prose. Like the twin pillars of a mighty temple stand those two great books, the Bible of 1611, the Shakespeare of 1623, and no other country can show their equal - George Sampson. The Nurses Connected with the Fort Dearborn Hospital Electricity and Chinese Demons. Word has come from Shanghai that employees of the China Electric company recently called in a native priest to drive away the demon in an electric buzz saw which had cut off two of the operator's fingers. After the ceremony the workmen returned to their tasks contentedly. The manager of the plant felt that, despite the superstition displayed, these Chinese workmen were accepting electricity in their own way—North American. Her Probable Intention. Wright had been sent to the bank with his weekly amount, and when he returned he did not have his book. His mother asked him where it was. After quite a little hesitation he con-fied to her in a whisper, "Well, mother, the girl took it and kept it. I think she wanted to weigh it." Invaluable Coating for Tubes In the process of J. Marcusson, a resinous coating is given tubes or hollow bodies of cement, concrete or mortar by action of formaldehyde on phenols or other like compounds. The coating gradually becomes insoluble on exposure to air, and is thus given resistance to the action of mineral or fatty oils. The Water Spider A spider that lives under water builds a nest of silk among weeds in ponds and ditches, and fills the nest with air. In that strange house it lives and lays its eggs. In autumn it makes another nest, seals itself inside and sleeps until spring. Noisy Ones, Please Read. The ambition merely to attract public attention does not in itself make for more happiness on the part of the person concerned. They Can Afford It. Our guess is that the only people who laugh and grow fat are those who don't have to work for their board. Galveston News.

Some folks are just plain irritants. You don't know why it is you don't like them. But you surely don't like them. By word and deed they get under your skin and you feel mean at being so touchy. But it can't be helped—they irritate. Do your best to get beyond the irritation stage. You can put up with a lot when you train yourself to it. In the end you may find that part of the irritation belongs to yourself. Come on. Be a sport. Buck up.—Grit. And He Meant So Well I was escorting two girl friends home from a dance one night, when we noticed a wide-open window in a house we were passing. Thinking to avert a possible burglary, I stuck my head inside and shouted. "Say, good people—" But that was as far as I got, for a bucketful of water struck me full in the face and a furious female voice shouted. "I told you what you'd get if you didn't get home before ten!"—Chicago Journal. Flag Etiquette When the flag passes in a parade or review, the spectator should, if walking, halt; if sitting, arise, stand at attention and salute. Civilians should remove their hats, although women are expected only to stand respectfully until the colors pass. All men in uniform of any branch of the army and navy are required to stand at attention and salute until the colors have passed. That's All the Difference.

The case was that of a tenant who had disregarded notice to vacate property, so the buggy was drawn up within a short distance of the house in question and the trial proceeded. St. Swithin Myth Disproved. A record was kept from 1840 for twenty years for the purpose of testing the truth of the popular belief that if rain fell on St. Swithin's day it would rain for forty days after. The result of this test shows that the greatest number of rainy days had occurred in these two decades in years when St. Swithin's day was dry.

Young Girls Are Wearing This Model for Dancing, in Satin to Match Gowns. A new note in footwear is a low square leather heel for street wear, which big city shops report as a "best seller." This fashion is said to be inspired by the low-heeled slippers worn in a successful musical comedy. The young girls are wearing the low-heeled model for dancing in satin to match their gowns; a touch of the Victorian, in harmony with wider and beruffed skirts. The favorite for street wear seems to be this low-heeled model in patent leather. The fringed tongue, which originally was used only on brogues, has been adopted for afternoon and evening wear. White kid oxford with French heels are shown with the fringed tongue, and the latest adaptation is seen in a black satin slipper with a solid black satin piece, the ends of which are fringed with cut steel beads. These are items that are well to remember when one is shopping for one's midsummer and fall footwear. There has been a new feature in the decoration of hand bags, in the use of the seed bead in the making of the solid beaded bag. But used with this is the large nailhead bead. From abroad come interesting ideas of the exploitation of the black and white vogue in the neckwear field for the coming season. Organdie is still the chief fabric medium, and touches of black are given by means of black organdie appliques usually in straight narrow bands as often as edging, and by chainstitch embroidery in black. Gauntlets continue to be in the glove field, these being shown in plain styles as well as in a wide range of fancies. Stiff cuff gauntlets being shown by some of the importers do not enjoy the same popularity as the soft cuff variety. STYLES IN NEW YORK Capes for practical use are often made reversible, one side dark serge, the other light canton crepe. A sleeveless sport coat of brown velours is bound on all edges with a bright shade of blue leather. A midsummer cape suit shows a skirt and cape of white flannel striped in green. The cape is lined in green crepe de chine, this same material being used for the long slip-over blouse worn over the skirt. A smart sport skirt of wool striped in vivid shades is fringed at the bottom and fastens all the way down the left side with buttons and loops. There is a single huge pocket placed very low at the right side. The wide sash is weighted with wool fringe on the ends. Jabots of laces or organdles are worn with every strictly tailored suit. Very chic the red leather hat worn with the white flannel sport suit. Red crepe de chine lines the short flaring jacket, the oval shaped panel on front of the skirt is also worked in a red stitchery. What lovely bathing accessories are seen in the New York shops! Have you already seen the charming separate girdles made entirely of rubber flowers? They are really exquisite and would transform the plainest suit into a thing of beauty. They are lovely in color and as well made as the evening cordelieres. To carry at the seashore, the leading houses show huge Chinese parasols painted in exotic colors and boasting exceedingly long handles. They are pretty and must be very practical, affording a real protection for the woman who doesn't swim as much as she parades up and down the beach. Have you seen the new checked gingham bathing suits? They are adorable. The skirt is made of narrow panels that tie on as an apron over the trousers. The blouse has a smart sailor collar, turn-up cuffs and buttons of black oilcloth. The cap to match is of checked gingham bound in black oilcloth. Indians Have Curious Numeration. The Indians of Gulana have a curious system of numeration. They count by the hand and its four fingers. Thus, when they reach five, instead of saying so, they call it a "hand." Six is therefore a "hand and first finger"; seven, a "hand and second finger." Ten is "two hands." But 20, instead of being "four hands," is a "man." Forty is "two men," and thus they go on by twenty. Forty-six is expressed as "two men, a hand and first finger." Arrow Deadly as Bullet. A mounted Indian or white man with bow and arrows sometimes could kill more buffaloes than a man could kill with a rifle, says the American Forestry Magazine. At close range the arrow was as deadly as the bullet, it made less noise, and arrows could be discharged three or four times as rapidly as bullets from muzzle-loading guns. Tit for Tat. When Lord Randolph Churchill visited the diamond fields of South Africa he is said to have exclaimed after looking at some diamonds: "And all for the vanity of women." A lady who heard the remark added: "And the deprivacy of men."

FRILLS OF FASHION When it comes to suits we find satin and canteau crepe occupying the first attention of the Parisian designers. These frocks are made on redingote lines. A smart method of applying a flower to a hat is to put a big one on the very edge of a wide brim, fastening it securely and pulling some of the pearls over, some under the brim. Flowers of silver tissue give an interesting note to a black lace evening frock. They are sold as corsage flowers, and may be used to give a bit of freshness to a frock that is n use. Some of the most effective of the redingote dresses are carried out in dark taffeta or an organdie foundation. A charming model of this kind had wide cuffs, huge collar and foundation of pale gray organdie, while the redingote itself was made of dark blue taffeta. The kimono sleeve is now more than ever in favor. But the 1921 kimono wishes a new interpretation of its own style and, instead of being exceedingly wide under the arm, is quite snug. Quite a hard task for the dressmaker, but decidedly chic and stylish. Capes are made of oblongs of silk fabrics of some sort, bordered along one long and two short edges with wringe as wide as the cape itself. This is really a cross between a cape and a scarf, for it is wrapped about the shoulders, one long, unfringed edge at the neck and folded across the chest. A smart cape of this sort is made of black tricolor, lined with gray chiffon, and with heavy gray silk fringe. NEW SHADE OF RED IN PARIS Name in Doubt, But May Be "Pill" or "Pillar"—Cardinal With Dash of Pink. "Is it pill box or pillar box?" The question refers to the bright red shade that is being much exploited. Pillar box is correct volunteers a writer in Women's Wear, although the shorter term, probably a corruption of the original, is frequently heard. The Parisians are in doubt. Over there they ask whether the Americans used a pill box of characteristic red shade, evidently believing that the word had its origin here. The term "pillar box red" is said to have been coined by an American silk buyer, named for the post boxes of Paris, which are not the vermillion red that we sometimes see on iron in this country. "Cardinal with a dash of pink" seems to be a fair description of this very bright red shade, although the pill or pillar box red that is used in millinery is said to have just a hint of the fuchsia tone in it. This exquisite new red—which is neither cerise nor flame, but something of both—is the newest color to which Paris gives her favor. Overshoe Economy Rubbers wear out more quickly at the heels than in any other parts. To prevent this, cut heavy cardboard to exactly fit the heel and place them there when the rubber is new. You will be surprised to find how much longer the rubber will last. Taffeta. The taffeta evening frock with the taffeta wrap to match is worn much by young women this season. One finds the skirts of the frocks quite full and not too short, caplike sleeves and a touch of ribbon flower somewhere Fortunes Left to Pets Sometimes cats fare very well as beneficiaries under wills. It was a Parisian woman, a few years ago, who left 10,000 francs to her cat. On its death the money was to be spent on elementary schools. The feline has since died and the money distributed according to directions. In numerous instances fortunes have been left to found homes for cats and dogs. Sometimes these wills have been dictated by love of animals, while in others alas, they have been written merely for the purpose of "getting even" with grasping relatives. "Crepuscular" Sun Rays The beams of light sometimes seen radiating from the sun when not far from the horizon are called "crepuscular rays." They are due to rays of light passing through breaks in the clouds and made visible by dust or fine drops of water in the air. Their apparent divergence is an effect of perspective. The phenomenon is popularly described as "the sun drawing water"; sailors speak of the "sun's backstays," while Homer wrote of the "rosy-fingered dawn." Care of Geraniums Geranium should be kept moist, but should not be given too much water at a time. They need a sunny window. The plants should be kept in a fairly even temperature, and it should be borne in mind that they must have plenty of air, for they won't thrive in a "stuff" room. Light and sun are necessary for all plants, and there is always more danger of getting too little than too much. The Indians called a strait "Kebec," and the name was given to the site of the present city of Quebec from the peculiar configuration of the St. Lawrence river at that point, for the river there grows narrow and from its deep waters rises the bold height on which the ancient city stands. The French-Canadian still pronounces the name Kebec. Especially If He's Fat. "People are not apt to envy those beneath them," remarks a writer. But how about the man in the upper berth of a Pullman?—Boston Transcript. FUNERAL DIRECTORS ERNEST H. WILLIAMSON UNDERTAKER 5121 ERNEST H.

In rooms where the floor is not covered with a soft carpet the moving of chairs is often the cause of a good deal of noise. The trouble may be remedied in this way: From thick felt cut small rounds to glue on to the feet of the chairs. These can be secured from an old hat or cut from an old piece of floor covering. The chairs can then be moved about quietly even on the hardest floors. Apartment Bldg. BASH AVENUE Opened to Colored tenants in Chicago. ants, tile baths, marble entrance Casey, Agt. 133 W.
