EVENING CLASSES AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY PAVE WAY FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF A COLLEGIATE SUMMER SCHOOL. Washington, D. C.-Howard University, in keeping with its new program of rendering the greatest possible service as a National University for the training of colored youth, last year at the beginning of the Winter Quarter, January 4, 1921, inaugurated a system of evening classes with Professor William J. Bauduit as Director. These evening classes are of full college grade and yield the usual credits toward the various academic degrees conferred by the University. They are being taught by the regular University instructors and exact the same requirements and maintain the same standards as the day classes. To the ambitious, self-supporting student who is unable to attend classes during the day, the Howard University now offers the exceptional opportunity of securing a college education through evening instruction. There are some people who look askance at evening academic work, but whatever prejudice has existed up to the present against it seems due in part to caste consciousness of the individual as well as to the supposedly loose standards of the evening schools. With the general spread of democratic ideas and the application of the same requirements and standards to both day and evening work, this prejudice is dying out and the evening school is coming into its own as a powerful factor in our social and educational scheme. Many of our greatest colleges and universities now offer evening work with full credit toward the usual degrees. Among these institutions are the University of Chicago, the Carnegie Institute of Technology, the College of the City of New York, the Johns-Hopkins University, the University of Pittsburgh and Harvard University. WHITE MAN GOES TO PRISON FOR MARRY- ING COLORED WOMAN Clark Circuit Judge Rules in Marriage of Whites and Negroes. Jeffersonville, Ind.—James W. Fortune, judge of the Clark circuit court, decided Friday that while the Indiana law forbade a white man to marry a Negro woman or a Negro man to marry a white woman, it provided no penalty for a white or Negro woman who should be married to one of the opposite color. Grace Henson, a Negro, and Carl E. Johnson, who asserted he had colored blood, but, it was said, was white, were married last March. Both were later indicted on charges of miscegenation of amalgamation and Johnson is serving a term of one to ten years at the Indiana Reformatory. The woman sued to annul the marriage. The court sustained a motion Thursday to quash the indictment against her on the ground that the law provided for the male party only. Sumner Kannerer, assistant attorney-general of Indiana, when his attention was called to the Jeffersonville case, said the amalgamation law is a curious one. He said it apparently directs all its force against the men of the contracting parties and against any THE BROAD AX Te U. S. Bureau of Education is now engaged in making a survey of the present status of evening instruction, the immediate supervision of the work being in the hands of Dr. Frederick B. Robinson, Dean of the College of the City of New York. According to former U. S. Commissioner Claxton, "one of the great services which can be rendered the Nation through education will be the establishment of a thoroughly coordinated evening instruction, which will enable a person who drops his education by day to continue that education at night." The work of the evening classes at Howard University has thus far been quite satisfactory and successful. Courses have been taken by school teachers, school principals, government employees, lawyers, college graduates and others. Some of these students are pursuing the regular four-year course leading to the baccalaureate degree; others are merely becoming acquainted with some particular subject or keeping in touch with the academic life for purposes of general culture; while still others are obtaining a special preparation which they must have in order to qualify for some specific position. The work has been regular and thorough, the standards high, and the students and instructors enthusiastic. Evening classes at Howard undoubtedly mark a clear and distinct extension of the usefulness and influence of the University. It is very likely that this movement will soon be followed and supplemented by another with similar potentialities for good, for the establishment of a Summer School at Howard University, for collegiate instruction now seems practically assured for next year. others who knowingly "counsel or assist in any manner" such marriages, but provides no penalty for the women of the contracting parties. The theory was advanced by others in the statehouse that the law probably was written by one who had in mind the old English common law, which assumed that on marriage a woman's identity was emerged completely into that of her husband. VISITS GARY Mrs. Lou Ella Young, 3556 Giles Ave., D. G. M. N. G., of the Households of Ruth of Illinois and jurisdiction, spent several pleasant days in Gary, Ind., where she spoke on Sept. 25th in the annual meeting of the organization of Indiana.

"The Keynote of the meeting was the need of world union, of diffused knowledge of the fact which affect people of African descent throughout the world, and determination to accept no inferior position whether civil, educational or political, by whomsoever imposed.

"Mr. Archer, a former mayor of Battersea, a native of London, of African descent, presided at one of the sessions at which, as a member of the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, I made some brief remarks. "Most terrible was the lot of Negroes in South Africa, as it was exposed by one of the speakers, who said there was starvation among them because they had to work nine months in the year for the white men who had taken their land, three months to pay the British government's taxes, and had, therefore, no time to get enough for themselves to eat. "A pleasant part of the Pan-African Congress was the tea given to the delegates by Mrs. Unwin, wife of the head of the great publishing house of colored people residing throughout the state of Illinois. Governor Len Small, Mayor William Hale Thompson and thousands of his other true friends are strongly urging him to enter the race for re-election to the state senate from the Third Senatorial District so that he can continue to uphold the arms of Governor Small and Mayor Thompson in the state senate of Illinois. 1.

STUMP, THE OLD TIME TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AX, VISITED THE A. M. E. CONFERENCE IN KANSAS AND HAD A PLEASANT INTERVIEW WITH BISHOP H. B. PARKS. Topeka, Kans.—We have been praying for President Harding, and we are hoping that the Lord will answer our prayers and put it into his heart to do for my people what he should. We are having just a helva time now, and it doth not appear all that it will be before it is over. We are anxious to put an end to lynching and all of us are praying that the Congress of the United States will pass a law that will start that thing down toward hades, for that is the place which presented it to our uncivilized civilization. But I am not going to say too much at this time, but will watch and wait the result and when it is all over we will be on the hog train. It takes a real man in this country to treat me right, and I hope that we are going to find it in the Republican party and if we fail, then you may look out for the Democrats in 1924. I am not joking about this. But I have been one more riding baby since I wrote to you the last time, and I have been coming in touch, with things. I have spent a few days in Kansas, but before you can get through reading this letter I will be far from here. I am the most riddest man in this country. When I wrote to you the last time I was in some other place, and I am glad to be able to report now that Prof. Aaron E. Malone has greatly improved and is sitting up now, and it will not be long before he will be fully restored to health. He is getting to that station right now, and I want to congratulate him, and to say to him let the good work continue. Mrs. Malone has been right by the side of the trained nurse looking after her husband and I don't blame her. He is a good man and a good husband. I am here attending the Kansas Conference, and believe me, honey, I am having one more Old Aunt Dolly time, because I am stopping at headquarters, and a man who holds on important position in the town, and the world has been entertained by his wife. I am the guest of Hon. John M. Wright and wife. He is the deputy county treasurer and his wife is at the top as a singer. So you see where I am. J. M. Wright was for a long time treasurer of the City of Topeka, and just to think of it, a man of my race treasurer of a big city like this. Well, he held his position, and you know there is a constant change in politics, and in changing Mr. Wright from treasurer of the city, he became deputy treasurer of the county, which position he is holding right now, but is having his vacation as I write to you. He was a friend to the late Booker T. Washington, and an active man in the National Negro Business League. I am proud to claim such a high up man as my friend. Do you know his wife, Mrs. Josephine Rivers-Wright, who has soothed many a heart through her sweet musical voice, a voice that has within itself fame and fortune for its possessor? I know she has the fame, and he has the fortune for her.

B. PARKS. eleven years this brilliant young woman was in Europe, and on her return to America, became a member of the Blind Boone Concert company. She left it only to become the wife of John M. Wright, which position she now holds and will until death. It is a happy couple. But now about happiness; now, but to tell you that she has a wonderful voice, and is going to do some singing from time to time. She has somewhat impressed me until I believe she is going to be in that choir from heaven. With all her ability, and the position held by her husband, she has not fallen out with work, but is doing her work, and then I could tell you of some other places she has won for herself. I wish you would make it convenient to see her when you are through. She can wash, iron, cook, make up beds, and talk about what you want to discuss, and it will be carried out to a queen's taste. Mrs. Wright has appeared before the crowned heads of Europe and received ovations. Perhaps she is going to be leader in the young heavenly band. I have heard her, and I am now in her home. But that's not what brings me here. I am here to attend the Kansas Annual Conference presided over by Bishop H. Blanton Parks, of Chicago, who is a just man and a leader of men. He is doing a great big work in this part of the world and I am sure that his people are proud of him. He has been doing some talking right out in church for the rights of his race. He is more concerned about the mud-paved streets down here than he is about the gold-paved streets in heaven. He believes in that old-time religion, and right living and this is what he is preaching to the people everywhere. In this warfare and conference rounds he is accompanied by his wife, Mrs. Parks, who is giving words of consolation to the women. Rev. J. R. Ransom, of Wichita, who is indeed a remarkable man, is a leader in the conference. Not only that, but he is a leader in our race in this state. He has lived a clean cut life and has the confidence of the people. He is a man with a great big heart and that has been seen by Governor Allen as well as other officials, and when Dr. Ransom speaks he is heard. It is nice to live that way. When he reported to the conference he had 335 members, and planked down on the table $335 dollar money, the largest amount ever brought from that charge. In addition to this he had $255 for the various mission funds; $20 for Douglas hospital, $300 for new dormitory at Western University—in all he put down for conference $1,156, and that is going some. There is no question about it Dr. Ransom is going to get him a wife, but just when I do not know and you do not know. We are getting ready for many things these days.

STUMP. ‘THE SHICK TEST. It has been found by use of the Schick test that at birth about 85 per cent of infants are naturally immune against diphtheria; that at aboutgsix months of age a decided change oc- curs ip that a great many infants be- gin to lose this natural immunity and that at the age of one year, most of the infants have lost it. From this evidence it seems clear that little further improvement in the reduction of the mortality and espe- cially of the morbidity of diphtheria is to be expected, unless it be possible to increase the resistance of young children against this disease by active immunization and at a time when the human organism is just beginning to lose its natural immunity. ‘This ineans in plain, understandable English that every child between the ages of six months and six years should be given the toxin-antitoxin treatment in order to protect it against diphtheria, in much the same way as vaccination against smallpox prevents that disease. And this is why the general use of toxin-antitoxin for pre- ventive purposes is being urged by health departments generally through- out the country. In many cities where the appropriations are not adequate to permit the health departments to, furnish the toxin-antitoxin free, ar- rangements have been made to fur- nish it at cost. The Chicago Depart- ment of Health, however, is able to furnish this treatment without cost to the school children and it is also given at the Infant Welfare Stations. Par- ents desiring to have their children {not of school age) treated should con- sult their family physician, or if un- ible to employ a physician, call the Department of Health. The active immunization of a child iainst diphtheria by the use of toxin- intitoxin is a simple operation, prac- ically painless, and attended with little| no danger. The Commissioner of Tealth believes that, with the light) ve now have, if the diphtheria cases) nd deaths are to be materially re-| luced, this desirable result can only | accomplished through the general | se of toxin-antitoxin as a preventive | neasure. And he, therefore, urges the| arents of Chicago to have their chil-| ren so protected ‘by the use of this ow tested and practically universally | ccepted agency. Diphtheria is a dangerous disease. t killed 600 children in Chicago last car. dt can be prevented by having our child treated with toxin-antitoxin. jon't let your children have diph-| ria, : _ of Season. Washington, D. C—The Howard football squad has had its first week of workouts. The rigorous training which the men underwent the first week has driven off all undesirable: and has left a squad which gives Coach Morrison an indication of just what he may expect for the year. At Present the Coach is non-committal as to what he thinks of the prospects. The big problem seems to be the replacing of the men lost by gradua- tion, , While most of the remaining H men of last year have returned, still the absence of Carter, last year’s star pilot, who is yet expected to return, Bran- non, Hurt, and Lawrence is keenly felt. Kean, who followed close to Carter as quarterback last year, has just showed up for practice. Practice will take an earnest angle the coming week in preparation for the first game of the season to be played October 8, at Lynchburg, Va., inst Virginia Theological Seas and ‘College.

Majors How much benefit does a person receive from the money they have made by hard work, if such hard work was merely the subterfuge to procure gaudy 'habiliments, and a good time? It is always much better to have money to buy what you want. It is far better to have it to buy what you need. It is another thing to circum-scribe your wants to your real needs, Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Booker T. Washington did, and that is why we read so much about them. Money is often easily made, but is a very hard task to keep it until it works for you. If you learn how to keep money it will learn how to keep you. Of course a lot of very good sense is always required to carry forward any right principle. Most of the misery in the world today is caused from not having sense to operate with. Any one can accumulate money if only they would study how to save some of the nickels, dimes and even pennies which seem to be of so small use. We must remember that Woolworth built the tallest building in the world with the ten cent store. Are we as a race keeping pace with the general trend of the rapid development and progress of the world? How many of us are going forward? How many of us are just moving along so slowly that we fail to note any progress at all? Who of us are standing still or going back year in and year out? Dressing well has its efficacy, but unless a man has enough money lain aside drawing interest sufficient to keep him looking gaudy he can not afford to do it. If you are working on a salary, and you are spending what you make to dress up you are not going forward, nor are you making any progress.

Majors The American people are up against a very hard proposition. The Ku Klux Klan is emphasizing the fact that our present interpretation of the law is wrong. Now the Ku Klux Klan assumes a sort of plenary power granted it neither by Jehovah, nor public sentiment, and its great and glorious burden is "to protect the weak, and helpless." If it had said the defenseless it would have been better, but the Negro is the defenseless; it would direct all of its venality against the defenseless. It cherishes tender names for the "weak and helpless." Of course we all know that the white women of America can be assailed, outraged, mistreated, and cruelly abused by the white men. Millions are being mistreated by white men, but they are not lynching white men for such dastard crimes. Many of these millions of white men who are daily and hourly assaulting white women and girls, colored women and girls, only need to use a little soot or greased paint on their faces and hands and their disguise is complete. It is then quite easy to lay it at the door of some poor unfortunate Negro. The Negro cannot change the color of his skin but the white man can, and herein lies the white man's alibi. We used to have notions that to be white meant to be good. Now that is spoiled. We have awakened from our dreams that were once so splendid, and we find that the criminal records of the white race stand as an everlasting condemnation against it in every civilized nation where language is used to express the nature of the human heart. The Ku Klux need be given no consideration; they have destroyed themselves. ```markdown ``` Billion-Dollar Wholesale Grocers' East Grand Avenue, Which is a Co., McNeil & Higgins Company Vice-President Rouliston Has Beenator of This Paper for Twenty-two best Business Men in Chicago.

At the present time it is well that we give some consideration to the power we have in the exercise of the right of our franchise.

Recently he has been deserted, it seems, by the president, even by the mayor of our city whom the race has at times almost worshipped.

His successor, Dr. Robert R. Moton was his friend in life and that friendship still exists, and he wants to keep alive in the hearts of the American people the name of the founder of Tuskegee Institute, the man who saw an opportunity and used it. He helped humanity. I will have to bring this letter to a stop. I am moving along in style. I am going to attend the Baptist convention of Texas, but will be in Chicago Sunday, and there I am going to speak at Quinn Chapel in the morning and another church in the afternoon. Look out for me next week. CHARLES E. STUMP. THE SHICK TEST. It has been found by use of the Schick test that at birth about 85 per cent of infants are naturally immune against diphtheria; that at about six months of age a decided change occurs in that a great many infants begin to lose this natural immunity and that at the age of one year, most of the infants have lost it. From this evidence it seems clear that little further improvement in the reduction of the mortality and especially of the morbidity of diphtheria is to be expected, unless it be possible to increase the resistance of young children against this disease by active immunization and at a time when the human organism is just beginning to lose its natural immunity. This means in plain, understandable English that every child between the ages of six months and six years should be given the toxin-antitoxin treatment in order to protect it against diphtheria, in much the same way as vaccination against smallpox prevents that disease. And this is why the general use of toxin-antitoxin for preventive purposes is being urged by health departments generally throughout the country. In many cities where the appropriations are not adequate to permit the health departments to furnish the toxin-antitoxin free, arrangements have been made to furnish it at cost. The Chicago Department of Health, however, is able to furnish this treatment without cost to the school children and it is also given at the Infant Welfare Stations. Parents desiring to have their children (not of school age) treated should consult their family physician, or if unable to employ a physician, call the Department of Health. The active immunization of a child against diphtheria by the use of toxin-antitoxin is a simple operation, practically painless, and attended with little or no danger. The Commissioner of Health believes that, with the light we now have, if the diphtheria cases and deaths are to be materially reduced, this desirable result can only be accomplished through the general use of toxin-antitoxin as a preventive measure. And he, therefore, urges the parents of Chicago to have their children so protected by the use of this now tested and practically universally accepted agency. Diphtheria is a dangerous disease. It killed 600 children in Chicago last year. It can be prevented by having your child treated with toxin-antitoxin. Don't let your children have diphtheria. Howard Prepares for First Game of Season. Washington, D. C.-The Howard football squad has had its first week of workouts. The rigorous training which the men underwent the first week has driven off all desirables and has left a squad which gives Coach Morrison an indication of just what he may expect for the year. At present the Coach is non-committal as to what he thinks of the prospects. The big problem seems to be the replacing of the men lost by graduation. While most of the remaining H men of last year have returned, still the absence of Carter, last year's star pilot, who is yet expected to return, Brannon, Hurt, and Lawrence is keenly felt. Kean, who followed close to Carter as quarterback last year, has just showed up for practice. Practice will take an earnest angle the coming week in preparation for the first game of the season to be played October 8, at Lynchburg, Va., against Virginia Theological Seminary and College.

This building is of brick and cost $20,000. The colored people, by private superscription, contributed $2,000 of this amount. Wednesday, September 14, the Fayette County Training School was dedicated. County Superintendent J. B.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1921 ATHLETIC SPORTS ARE WARMING UP AT THE LINCOLN UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA. Lincoln University, Sept. 26.—Coach John A. Shelburn arrived at Lincoln on September September 14, and immediately began the work of building up the Lincoln team, which it is hoped will bring back some of the prestige which it has enjoyed in years past. Fifteen men reported the first day, and before the end of the week he had thirty-six men drilling and perspiring. The preliminary work has consisted in instilling the very fundamentals of the game. The men have manifested a willingness and determination that angers well for a good, conscientious team. The men who composed the squad last year have been a little slow in returning, and most of the men who have reported are new men. From the material on hand it looks as if the old men will have to show remarkable football knowledge and ability to retain their places. Carter, last year's center, will have a hard fight on his hands to keep from being displaced by Bollinger, a new man from Texas. Wilson, quarterback for the last two years, has five rivals for his place, the most prominent of whom is McClain, an inter-scholastic star from Jersey City. Wilson may be sent to his old position at half-back, which is probably his logical position. Captain Laws has entirely recovered from the injuries he received last year, and looks to lead his team to victory this year Poindexter, a substitute last year, is showing good form Two of the most promising men on the squad are Crudup, a former player on "Ridge Tech," of Cambridge, Mass., and Howard from Jersey City. The squad as a whole is rather light, but gives evidence of being very fast. Owing to the number of men who are candidates for the backfield, Captain Laws may be shifted to the other end or tackle. "Sam" Parr, who stood out so prominently in the Howard game, came out for the first time Friday. His presence is always an inspiration to the team, and any man who expects to make a position in the backfield knows that he has to play wonderful football to displace "Sam." The schedule for the season is as follows: October 8—Steelton Athletic club at Harrisburg, Pa. October 22—Morgan College at Baltimore, Md. October 29—Wilberforce University at Wilberforce, Ohio. November 5—Hampton Institute at Lincoln, Pa. November 12—Union University at Richmond, Va. November 24—Howard University at Philadelphia, Pa. URBAN LEAGUE WILL DISCUSS UNEMPLOYMENT. Annual Conference in Chicago to Cover Many Topics. Much interest centers around the plan of the Urban League to discuss Unemployment among Negroes at its Conference in Chicago, October 19th to 22nd. Phil H. Brown, Commissioner of Conciliation of the United States Department of Labor will discuss the subject from the national view point. He will present facts and figures indicating its extent and where it is most prevalent. William A. Conners, Secretary of the Cleveland Branch of the Urban League, and John C. Dancy, Executive Secretary of the Detroit Urban League who have had considerable experience in the past year in handling these matters in their respective communities. They will outline the programs which have been conducted there to create temporary or permanent jobs and to give material relief both to single men and women and to families. Secretary James J. Davis of the Department of Labor is expected. George W. Buckner, Executive Secretary of the St. Louis Urban League who has been laboring in Tulsa, Oklahoma to organize a program of rehabilitation in which white and colored people will co-operate and work together for the good of the community, will outline his accomplishments to date and Miss Mary McDowell, Head Worker of the University Settlement, Chicago, will participate in discussion of race relations and co-operation in inter-racial matters. The morning and afternoon meetings will be in the form of round table discussions in which all in attendance will be urged to participate. The Negro and organized labor and the League's work in Health, Housing, Recreation and Industrial Welfare will also be discussed. Eugene Kinckle Jones, Executive Secretary of the National Urban League, 127 East 23rd Street, New York City, and T. Arnold Hill, Executive Secretary, Chicago Urban League, 3032 South Wabash avenue, Chicago, Ill., are anxious to hear from persons who are interested in the problems of the race and in social service work and who may be planning to attend the conference.

Fields of St. Louis, Mo., is stopping for a few days in the city while en route east and will pay an official visit to the local councils and juveniles. 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. 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. Salt and Dampness 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. "Grenular" &nBrava 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." Anything to Please. Adv. Wanted—Girl for general housework, any old kind; family of three adults. *Nice, large, alrry room; no washing nor much of anything else to do. Last girl quit because we invited some relatives to help us celebrate Patriots' day. Next Patriots' day, if the girl demands it, we will disown our relatives and renounce our country.—Boston Transcript. 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. Indian Name of Quaint Old City. 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. 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. Swinith'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. Swinith's day was dry. Old Buggy His Court. A judge of Livingston, N. J., is on record as holding court from the seat of an old buggy. 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. Attorney J. Gray Lucas, 3646 Grand Boulevard, has been confined to his home for the pats week with illness, but at this writing he is able to be out again and look after his law business. Dr. and Mrs. Edward S. Miller and their children, 4020 Vincennes avenue, are visiting his sister, Mrs. Fanny B. Williams, and mother, at West Bell Place, St. Louis. Mr. and Mrs. Morris Lewis, 3663 Forest avenue, and the other members of their family, have moved into the city from their little summer home at Glencoe, Ill. Mrs. Jennie Logan of Louisville, Ky., is in the city visiting at the home of her sister, Mrs. George Chapman, 6142 S. Elizabeth street. Mrs. Logan may be persuaded to remain all winter. Indians Have Curious Numeration. The Indians of Guiana 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 twenties. Forty-six is expressed as "two men, a hand and first finger." Engraving 6,000 Years Old Engraving 6,000 Years Old. An engraving approximately 6,000 years old was discovered recently in Wales. Upon the plaque are a number of triangular symbols dating from Neolithic times, probably by workmen of the Iberian race, many evidences of which survive. Profitable Eggshells In no instance are the shells of the eggs used by the Italian vendors of ice cream sold in the London streets broken. They are pierced at each end and blown by the mouth, the perfect shells being sold to the proprietors of shooting galleries. 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." 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. 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 machete 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. 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. 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. 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 BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1921 ATHLETIC SPORTS ARE WARMING UP AT THE LINCOLN UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA. Lincoln University, Sept. 26.—Coach John A. Shelburn arrived at Lincoln on September September 14, and immediately began the work of building up the Lincoln team, which it is hoped will bring back some of the prestige which it has enjoyed in years past. Fifteen men reported the first day, and before the end of the week he had thirty-six men drilling and perspiring. The preliminary work has consisted in instilling the very fundamentals of the game. The men have manifested a willingness and determination that augers well for a good, conscientious team. The men who composed the squad last year have been a little slow in returning, and most of the men who have reported are new men. From the material on hand it looks as if the old men will have to show remarkable football knowledge and ability to retain their places. Carter, last year's center, will have a hard fight on his hands to keep from being displaced by Bollinger, a new man from Texas. Wilson, quarterback for the last two years, has five rivals for his place, the most prominent of whom is McClain, an inter-scholastic star from Jersey City. Wilson may be sent to his old position at hali-back, which is probably his logical position. Captain Laws has entirely recovered from the injuries he received last year, and looks fit to lead his team to victory this year Poindexter, a substitute last year, is showing good form Two of the most promising men on the squad are Crudup, a former player on "Ridge Tech," of Cambridge, Mass., and Howard from Jersey City. The squad as a whole is rather light, but gives evidence of being very fast. Owing to the number of men who are candidates for the backfield, Captain Laws may be shifted to the other end or tackle. "Sam" Parr, who stood out so prominently in the Howard game, came out for the first time Friday. His presence is always an inspiration to the team, and any man who expects to make a position in the backfield knows that he has to play wonderful football to displace "Sam." The schedule for the season is as follows: October 8—Steelton Athletic club at Harrisburg, Pa. October 15—Bordentown at Bordentown, N. J. October 22—Morgan College at Baltimore, Md. October 29—Wilberforce University at Wilberforce, Ohio. November 5—Hampton Institute at Lincoln, Pa. November 12—Union University at Richmond, Va. November 24—Howard University at Philadelphia, Pa. URBAN LEAGUE WILL DISCUSS UNEMPLOYMENT. Annual Conference in Chicago to Cover Many Topics. Much interest centers around the plan of the Urban League to discuss Unemployment among Negroes at its Conference in Chicago, October 19th to 22nd. Phil H. Brown, Commissioner of Conciliation of the United States Department of Labor will discuss the subject from the national view point. He will present facts and figures indicating its extent and where it is most prevalent. William A. Conners, Secretary of the Cleveland Branch of the Urban League, and John C. Dancy, Executive Secretary of the Detroit Urban League who have had considerable experience in the past year in handling these matters in their respective communities. They will outline the programs which have been conducted there to create temporary or permanent jobs and to give material relief both to single men and women and to families. Secretary James J. Davis of the Department of Labor is expected. George W. Buckner, Executive Secretary of the St. Louis Urban League who has been laboring in Tulsa, Oklahoma to organize a program of rehabilitation in which white and colored people will co-operate and work together for the good of the community, will outline his accomplishments to date and Miss Mary McDowell, Head Worker of the University Settlement, Chicago, will participate in discussion of race relations and co-operation in inter-racial matters. The morning and afternoon meetings will be in the form of round table discussions in which all in attendance will be urged to participate. The Negro and organized labor and the League's work in Health, Housing, Recreation and Industrial Welfare will also be discussed. Eugene Kinckle Jones, Executive Secretary of the National Urban League, 127 East 23rd Street, New York City, and T. Arnold Hill, Executive Secretary, Chicago Urban League, 3032 South Wabash avenue, Chicago, Ill., are anxious to hear from persons who are interested in the problems of the race and in social service work and who may be planning to attend the conference. Quinn Chapel A. M. E. Church. Sunday, October 2, Rev. Chas. Stewart will deliver the sermon at 10:45 a.m. M. Following the morning sermon, baptizing of infants and adults. Sunday evening sermon by an evangelist. Sunday, October 9, the Pastor, Rev. H. E. Stewart, will preach, taking for a subject "The Seven Songs of Revelation." Wednesday night, October 12, sermon lecture, subject "Turn on the Light" or Racial Progress. Questions of great moment will be discussed such as marriage and Divorce; The Negro in Business; Religion and Politics; The Public Schools, etc. Music will be furnished by one of the choirs of the church. The month of November will be given to a special revival effort at Quinn Chapel. "C." NATIONAL GRAND MASTER HERE. National Grand Master of A. U. K. & D. of A. William H. Fields of St Louis, Mo., is stopping for a few days in the city while en route east and will pay an official visit to the local councils and juveniles. Spread of Bathing In Europe Spread or 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 Sarceens, 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. 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. Salt and Dampness 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. "Crenucular" &un 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." Anything to Please Adv. Wanted—Girl for general housework, any old kind; family of three adults. Nice, large, airy room; no washing nor much of anything else to do. Last girl quit because we invited some relatives to help us celebrate Patriots' day. Next Patriots' day, if the girl demands it, we will disown our relatives and renounce our country.—Boston Transcript. 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. Indian Name of Quaint Old City. 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. St. Swithin Myth Disproved. St. Swithin Myer Dispensary 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. Old Buggy His Court A judge of Livingston, N. J., is on record as holding court from the seat of an old buggy. 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. Attorney J. Gray Lucas, 3646 Grand Boulevard, has been confined to his home for the pats week with illness, but at this writing he is able to be out again and look after his law business. Dr. and Mrs. Edward S. Miller and their children, 4020 Vincentnes avenue, are visiting his sister, Mrs. Fanny B. Williams, and mother, at West Bell Place, St. Louis. Mr. and Mrs. Morris Lewis, 3663 Forest avenue, and the other members of their family, have moved into the city from their little summer home at Glencoe, Ill. Mrs. Jennie Logan of Louisville, Ky., is in the city visiting at the home of her sister, Mrs. George Chapman, 6142 S. Elizabeth street. Mrs. Logan may be persuaded to remain all winter. --- Indians Have Curious Numeration. The Indians of Guiana 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." Engraving 6.000 Years Old An engraving approximately 6,000 years old was discovered recently in Wales. Upon the plaque are a number of triangular symbols dating from Neolithic times, probably by workmen of the Iberian race, many evidences of which survive. Profitable Eggshells. In no instance are the shells of the eggs used by the Italian venders of ice cream sold in the London streets broken. They are pierced at each end and blown by the mouth, the perfect shells being sold to the proprietors of shooting galleries. 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." 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. 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 machete 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Distance Lends Enchantment.

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. GARMENTS FOR THE KIDDIES Designers Have Outdone Previous Efforts in Providing Wineome Attire for Children. Children's garments are more alluring this summer than ever before. Designers seem to have outdone all previous efforts along that line. The shops are filled with pretty novelties that may be purchased all ready to wear, or that serve equally well as suggestions for the benefit of the mother who makes her children's clothes. Little kindergarten designs in the form of small sun-bonneted figures are applied on frocks and aprons to form pockets. These pockets may be made of the same plaid material used for cuffs and cash, or match the dress and embroidery cotton. There is a very pronounced fancy this summer for hats and bonnets to match all frocks designed for members of the younger generation. When the frock is of the tailored type, a straw hat is often preferred to one made of fabric, but if the dress is at all of the lingerie type, then the preference seems to be for fabric hats or bonnets. Lovely organdile hats are often trimmed with bands or appliqued motifs of checked gingham. Such a hat may be worn either with an organdile or a gingham frock. Many dainty little hats are made of colored dotted swiss, or of colored dotted swiss in combination with plain color or white. The short socks carry out the color scheme of hat and frock. Many mothers buy dozens of pairs of the little short socks, watching every bargain table that offers such merchandise, so that every outfit, whether green, yellow, red or other shade may be complete and blend from head to heels. Telephone to Deaf. The receiver of a telephone set for the deaf that has been invented in Germany is small enough to be hidden in a person's car, while the transmitter can be carried in a handbag or fastened to clothing. Had No Rights at All. 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." 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. That's Going Too Far. A woman may get up at a mother's convention and declare that she has the best husband on earth, but she never goes so far as to say she expects to meet him in heaven.—Chicago Daily News. 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 confided to her in a whisper, "Well, mother, the girl took it and kept it. I think she wanted to weigh it." Clouds Supply Needed Moisture. During the nearly rainless summers of South Africa the mountains in the neighborhood of Cape Town are clothed in luxurious vegetation, supported by a copious deposit of moisture from drifting clouds. LOW SHOES AGAIN IN FAVOR Present Indications Point to Strap Effects for the Coming Fall and Winter. Low shoes had such a vogue all last year that high boots even for the most severe winter weather had only a moderate call. According to present indications the same conditions will hold good for the coming fall and winter season. Strap effects will continue to be in high favor. The fancy for color and different leather combinations will also be a feature of next season's footgear. The short vamp shoe will be a leader for fall and toes are to be more rounded than those of the present season. The simplicity of styles offered for gowns, suits and other items of outer apparel during the past few seasons has served to emphasize the importance of smart and novel shoes, hats and other accessories. By using good judgment in selecting the minor items, any woman may be well dressed at comparatively small cost. But be sure the shoes you select are becoming to you. One type of shoe looks well on one pair of feet, but fall to suit another type. Cuticle Should'Be Pushed Back Every Time When Hands Are Washed With Warm Water. The cuticle around the nails must be clipped at times, but if careful you need not cut this delicate skin more than once a fortnight, or even once a month, as cuticle cut too often tends to become hard and tough in appearance. The best way to keep the nails nice-looking around the edges is to have an orangewood stick handy in the bathroom and to push back the cuticle with warm water and soap. Even if you have not time for this and push back the cuticle only once a day it will be enough. An astringent cream is a good thing to use because it will keep the cuticle soft, and at the same time prevent it from growing fast. FASHIONS IN BRIEF Three-piece suits have eclipsed the two-piece suits for fall. Small hats of black taffeta are edged with narrow ruching. Monograms of beads are among the smartest things shown in the new bags. The smartest sport skirts are of white flannel and knitted silk in bright Roman stripes. Soft materials will lead in fall coat fabrics. Velmirage—the name is self-explanatory—will be one of the strong numbers. Very bright colored lightweight velours are used with very good effect to fashion vests, sometimes entire sleeves, etc., in serge frocks. Knitted wool and silk capes are popular country and summer resort wraps. They are shown in wide variety and in many color blendings and color combinations. Plain linen or chambray dresses are very smartly trimmed with chintz, belt, collar, cuffs and pockets being of the figured fabric. These frocks are of the tailored type, usually designed for girls of not more than eight years and almost always accompanied by matching bloomers. Something new and dainty is being offered in the shops in the form of perfume vials hidden in the heart of a flower. The perfume in the vial is of the odor of the flower. One of the newest evening wraps is fashioned of deep flouces of black thread lace, over a foundation of black geogette, and the close shoulder line defined by rows of kolinsky, of varying widths. 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. Another Definition. A pessimist is one who sees in a dimple nothing except the future site for a wrinkle. And an optimist is one who sees in a wrinkle only the dimple that once was there. FUNERAL DIRECTORS ERNEST H.

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 odd piece of floor covering. The chairs can then be moved about quietly even on the hardest floors. OFFICERS Chicago
