Toussey, Board of Supervising Engineers; C. V. Weston, Chicago Surface Lines; Frederick Deiser, Secretary, National Suspended Monorail Company; Commodore Ferdinand Peck, "Chicago Builder"; Morris Lewis, Private Secretary to Commodore Peck. After presentation of the position of the Elevated Lines, by Mr. Insull, in which he advocated the extension of the present elevated system and expansion of the surface lines for temporary relief and the adoption of a system of subways as a solution of the transportation problems of the City, Commodore Peck was introduced by Alderman Schwartz. The Alderman said: "Commodore Peck is with us. He is the oldest native born citizen of Chicago, with the possible exception of one; the Commodore built the Auditorium, the Exposition of '93, and has contributed to many other great civic achievements in the city of Chicago. Now, he is interested in transportation, and the Committee has asked him to present some suggestions to us, which we are glad to hear. Commodore Ferdinand Peck: Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the committee, I am here by the courtesy of your chairman. If there is no prohibition law that prevents a man from standing up, I shall stand up. The Chairman: It depends on what he has got in his hip pocket, Commodore. (Laughter.) Commodore Peck: I have none just now. Ald. Bowler: That is too bad. Commodore Peck: Two years ago I appeared, by request of the committee, before the Transportation Committee appointed by your Mayor. I spoke on this subject, transportation of my native city of Chicago. That was two years ago. I have devoted much of my thoughts and time since to the careful study of that problem. I have been in New York as much as I have been here during that period. I have ridden on those surface lines and elevated lines, and the calamitous subway, calamitous subway, I said, many times. I think I understand city transportation. I am not here to go into details or suggest financial methods. I am not here for a detailed analysis of any figures that will annoy you or bore you. I am a concise man. What I have to say will be in a few words. Yes, gentlemen, I am practically the oldest native born citizen of this great metropolis. I am entitled to no great credit for that. True, indeed, I am proud of it, but my mother and father had more to do with it than I had. (Laughter.) I have seen Chicago grow from twelve thousand people to three millions—probably unprecedented in the lifetime of any living or dead man. I have seen its progress and tried to do my bit towards its advancement and prosperity. I have devoted 80 per cent of my life to the betterment of the people of Chicago, for which service I have never received one dollar, directly or indirectly, or in stock or bonds. I devoted four years to the Auditorium, four years to the Columbian Exposition, and administered the Auditorium for sixteen years; have been at the head of the Board of Education and have executed many other public trusts. Now, I mention those things not in a conceited or boastful way, but to show you why I feel I have a right to be here and say a few words on this all-important subject of transportation in my native city. The Chicago Tribune claims to be the greatest newspaper in the world. I think it is the greatest in this country west of the Allegheny Mountains. But, gentlemen, remember that New York is east of the Allegheny Mountains, and when they say in their headline every day, "The World's greatest newspaper," they forget New York and that the New York Times and some other papers exist. Now, at the top of every Tribune editorial page you will read these lines in fine print: "Let us have the subway now." Well, now I am a a "now" man. I rarely do on Tuesday what I can do on Monday. The exposition was built in four years; it should have taken ten. The Auditorium was built in three years; it should have taken eight years, and I am mainly responsible for both achievements; therefore, I am a "now" man, and most desirous that Chicago should no longer delay the solution of the 'great problem of transportation. I do not think that the gentlemen who represent that great newspaper have mastered the subway problem, or what it means. I do not think that one-tenth of the people of the city of Chicago comprehend the subject. I have made a study of it, and I think I understand what it means. It means an indefinite delay in solving our greatest need in our city, lack of transportation, for a period of ten or twelve or fifteen years, to construct anything that is adequate in the way of a subway to lessen the congestion in our city. Now, gentlemen of the committee, in my judgment it will cost not less than one hundred and fifty million dollars, and perhaps more than two hundred million dollars, to produce a subway that will relieve the situation. Now, twelve to fifteen years time, and from one hundred and fifty to two hundred million dollars is a very serious proposition. Then, gentlemen, remember, if you please, that there are physical difficulties. In New York the subway was hwn through solid rock, blasted, and they knew what they had before them, while in Chicago, this mud and morass, out of which this great and magnificent city has risen, is an indefinite proposition. We do not know what we are going to strike, and I say to you, gentlemen, for God's sake don't venture needlessly into dangerous fields, fools rush in where angels fear to tread. If there is any substitute for this subway which everybody is talking about, as well as the Chicago Tribune, let us have that substitute before we plunge into the ills we know not of and blindly grope our way through an unknown forest the limits of which are so indefinite. Gentlemen, I am an enemy, a bitter enemy of the subway. Now, I am going to give you a little illustration. Suppose that a subway were built. What is the situation? What of the fine girls in Marshall Field's store? Think of the splendid employees behind the counters of Carson, Pirie, Scott & Company's store, the Boston Store, and the Fair, and, yes, Rothschild's, the splendid girls in our offices and in our mercantile and manufacturing establishments! After they have worked all day behind the counter, yes, in discussions with their customers and their voices exhausted, think of them going down into the gloomy, mistlike, miasmatic hole. And then they wait for a train. The roar of the cars in that circumscribed tunnel is terrible. They are in a state of exhaustion, these girls of Chicago, when they reach their destinations, want to go home peaceably, quietly and safely. Think of them! They get into the car. They talk to their friends. They are nearly ready for the insane asylum when they get to the other end. We do not want to fill our asylums that way. Recently, in New York, I was at 42nd street, and I said to my friends, with whom I had a business conference, an important conference, "I must be at Wall street in twenty-five German System of Monorail Proposed for Chicago minutes. How will I get there?" They said, "Right around the corner is the subway." I went, gentlemen, with all my prejudice against it. I got on the train after waiting, distracted as the roaring trains rushed, which made me nearly crazy, in that gloomy, dark, noisy tunnel. Gentlemen, remember that trains in a tunnel that has a roof are not trains on the surface, or trains on the elevated. It is the difference between peace and hell. One is heaven compared to the other. Well, when I got to Wall street I met a friend on the car and I conversed with him all the way down, as I had important business with him. When I reached Wall street I couldn't speak out loud and I said, "For God's sake, where is the nearest insane asylum. Gentlemen, that is one experience with the subway. I doubt whether the Tribune writers have ever ridden on the subway in New York. (Laughter.) Ald. Bowler: I cannot help but look as Oscar Hewitt. The Chairman: You speech will be accurately reported, Commodore. Commodore Peck: Well, gentlemen, I call things by their right names. I didn't say "The Chicago newspapers." I said "The Chicago Tribune." I wish they would criticize what I have said, or will say. If they do, I will answer them. (Laughter.) Is the Tribune represented here? Ald. Wallace: Oh, yes, Oscar Hewitt is here. The Chairman: Will the representative of The Tribune stand up so that he may be seen by the Commodore? (Laughter.) Commodore Peck (addressing Mr. Hewitt): Please do not omit what I have said before this Transportation Committee on this subject of the subway. The people do not understand the serious features of the subway. They said, "Give us the subway now." Yes, the thoughtless people say, "Well, why don't we have it?" The Chairman: Well, there is one thing, The Tribune won't forget anyway, Commodore, and that is that you say it is the greatest newspaper west of the Alleghenies. That is quite an admission. Commodore Peck: Well, I will admit that, and I am proud of the Tribune, but when they compare themselves with the great dailies of New York, and 'especially the New York Times, they claim too much. (Laughter.) Now, gentlemen of the committee, we must have relief for this congestion. The greatest problem, and I don't need to tell you gentlemen, who have studied it probably more than I have, the greatest problem before this community is the question of the transportation of our wonderful citizenship, now three million and one hundred thousand, while in New York there are five million six hundred thousand, almost double our population, and growing more rapidly than we ourselves realize, which makes the subway there an essential evil. And, gentlemen of the committee, it is our rapid growth which causes the increases in taxes every year. I am a large taxpayer, but I never kick about it, because I realize that it is owing to the growth of the city, and I know that the taxes must be larger, much larger every year. That is by reason of the growth of the city itself and it does not mean mismanagement, extravagance or mal-administration, and it is not by reason of the administration of our city, which is a splendid one, in my opinion, including the Mayor, who is the greatest and most constructive Mayor, in my judgment, that the city of Chicago has had in sixty long years, and I have been personally intimate with every one of them. I am willing to be quoted in making that statement. (Laughter.) Ald. Bower: You are all right. Ald. Guernsey: You will have to answer the Tribune in the Republican. Commodore Peck: There is not enough room for that, but I take my hat off to the Republican, as well as I do the Mayor. Ald. Guernsey: You can see it right up there. Commodore Pek: It is a patriotic paper. Ald. Guernsey: You can see it right up there. (Indicating.) Commodore Pek: Yes, I see it. It is the Republican's representative here. (Laughter.) Ald. Guernsey: Yes, in great numbers. Commodore Pek: I did not think this was a Bill Thompson committee, and I did not know whether the Republican was represented here or not. Now, what is the remedy? What is the remedy? Gentlemen, I am willing to face the skepticism and prejudices that exist against any new form of anything in this world. In my judgment, gentlemen, your complete remedy is the monorail, and I want to say, before I go any further, I haven't the slightest monetary interest in it, either directly or indirectly. I haven't a share of stock, but I have given it much thought, and I have talked with many eminent engineers on the subject. That is your complete remedy for all your difficulties in my opinion, your five-cent fare, and every other transportation problem. It will cost, to build the subway, as I have told you, to give you something like an adequate system of transportation, say eighty miles, one hundred and fifty million dollars, and yet, people, they talk about building an adequate subway with the surplus that is coming from the elevated and the surface lines, that paltry thirty-six million dollars that is now in the city treasury. Why, gentlemen, it is ridiculous. That would build only a mile or two. It will cost two million dollars a mile at least to build the subway, and eighty miles would be one hundred and sixty million dollars. Ald. Guernsey: Well, we don't care Ald. Guernsey: Well, we don't care for a few million here. Commodore Peck: No. (Laughter.) Now, the monarch can be built, one hundred miles of it, a complete system, for thirty million dollars, and that can be done in two and one half years, as against one hundred and fifty million dollars more or less, in twelve or fifteen years, and with an uncertain outcome in case of the subway. Gentlemen of the committee, I have come here today to plead for my fellow citizens of this great commonwealth of the city of Chicago and to beg of you to spend, out of the City Treasury, out of that fund, the insignificant sum of a million and a half or two million dollars to build a test line of say six miles, which can be done, gentlemen of the committee, in eight months, and if you do not authorize or recommend that to be done, why, it is criminal, and you are not properly representing the great trust for the people of the city of Chicago that has been placed upon your shoulders. Gentlemen, you owe it to the people of the city of Chicago to try it. The German system has been in use, and has been very thoroughly approved by every one that ever rode on it for the last thirty years. I have seen and talked with many of those who have ridden on it, and they have never had one single accident, or injured a passenger in thirty long years, and they rode at the rate of seventy miles an hour, and with perfect safety, and with perfect comfort, and almost noiseless. Almost noiseless. Gentlemen, think of that, and consider the nerves of the people of Chicago and have respect for them. We don't want to fill our insane asylums with these splendid girls I have spoken of, and our citizens of this great and magnificent city by transporting them in that underground, passageway hole, in that chaotic bedlam of noise that fills that awful tunnel. Now gentlemen, I have investigated the subway thoroughly, and I have seen the report of the Chief Engineer of the New York Central Railroad and of the Pennsylvania and other eminent experts and they all give a complete endorsement, and they all advise the monorail system for the city of Chicago. Now, I have in my pocket letters of endorsement from many experienced people, among them Mr. Van Housen, who was, for many years, the Chief Engineer of the New York Central Railroad and of the Pennsylvania. Gentleman, he is entitled to consideration. I do not ask you and I would not ask you to follow simply the opin- TOURISTS IN "GAY PARIS" (FRANCE) —BIRD'S-EYE VIEW OF THAT ARTISTIC AND ENCHANTING CITY By BEATRICE E. LEE, Ph. B. PART FIVE Our drama is broader in aim and represents more phases of our own life. On the mere business side of the theater we are better organized if somewhat more mechanicalized, though that is not fundamentally important. The average of our "mise en scene" is higher and our acting in certain lines more varied as to types, though not always played with such an admirable ensemble. Yet theater-going in Paris is stimulating: there is a charm about it which is undeniable. anyone. A great many moralists censure American tourists for risking their health, reputation, and lives for new sensations. In defense of the situation as it is one can say "Paris is Paris," and why should anyone expect the American women to fail to participate in the Parisian life, no matter what it is. It depends on the stamina of the women whether they suffer from it. When the American woman comes to Paris, she checks prudery at the port, according to moralists, and intends to enjoy whatever the town has to offer. It offers amusements and The most important and interesting theater from the American visitor's point of view is the Grand Opera, where classical opera, with occasional ballets are produced in magnificent style. The higher-priced tickets admit the holder to the grand staircase, foyer, and reception rooms. It is usual and customary to promenade the building during the entr'actes in all the principal theatres; and at the Opera, this is especially desirable as the decorations form one of the principal attractions. The intervals between acts are much longer in Paris than is usual in America, but this is one of the features, which is appreciated by the French play-goer, as he has a partiality for promenading the theater, conversing with his friends, and taking refreshments by way of diversion. There is another essentially French entertainment producing comedy in its broadest sense, interspersed with outrageous farce. Ludicrous "situations" not always within the limits of American notions of propriety, form a staple feature. At the Follies Bergere and Casino de Paris, there is a revue which lasts all the evening. The winter garden forms a popular promenade between the performances. Smoking is allowed in all parts of the building. Women in France are not adicted to smoking, as they are in England. There are, also, a number of places of amusement, known as cafe concerts, where prominence is given to facilities for drinking and refreshment during the performance. The Ambassadeurs on Champs Elysees is the most popular, being essentially Parisian in the quality of its entertainment, the audience frequently joining in the chorus of any well-known popular melody. The Nouveau Cirque is an equestrian entertainment, and is decidedly the best circus in Paris. The performance is of the nature one would at a circus, so far as the first portion is concerned. A novel feature peculiar to Nouveau Cirque is the introduction of "Aquatic burlesque." During the interval, the floor of the arena is lowered, forming a basin or pond in which a number of the performers are constantly making a fall or plunge, in unsuitable attire at unexpected moments. An interesting aspect of Paris is the so-called "wild night life." The Paris night life is enough to upsetions of a local engineer of the city of Chicago. No. But these are all men of national, international reputation, men who will definitely state what they think about the monorail, and insist that it is a practical proposition to solve this terrible congestion in the city of Chicago. Then there is Mr. Slifert, who was the assistant to General Goethtals, who built the Panama canal. He was the chief engineer. He was general superintendent of the Rock Island Railroad and general manager, and then he was assistant to General Goethtals who built the Panama canal. Then there is Mr. Smith, who represented the Missouri anyone. A great many moralists censure American tourists for risking their health, reputation, and lives for new sensations. In defense of the situation as it is one can say "Paris is Paris," and why should anyone expect the American women to fail to participate in the Parisian life, no matter what it is. It depends on the stamina of the women whether they suffer from it. When the American woman comes to Paris, she checks prudency at the port, according to moralists, and intends to enjoy whatever the town has to offer. It offers amusements and joys such as are unknown in New York—the world's best champagne, the sofest music, the brightest lights, and the finest imaginable perfumes. It is true that some young girls get excited. In this case, their parents should take care of them, and return them to their homes. But no one can change Paris. The most shocking thing is the patronizing of flashy restaurants by unitesorted French women. This gives strange men an opportunity to accost them. In many restaurants, one sees a beautiful and refined American girl sit down and quickly thereafter permit a total stranger to make her acquaintance. In the U. S. A., "No" A drink, a dance, another bottle of wine; a suggestion that more fun can be had elsewhere and the pair go away to other and gayer restaurants and worse. The champagne palaces could not exist, if it were not for American patronage. The majority of tourists attend only the summer shows in Paris. These are terrible, but so are the winter shows patronized solely by French people. All tourists visit the world-famed Follies Bergere, where the performance is absolutely shocking. The arrangement of the theater proves that the only object of the revenue is to stir the senses. Tourists dance a great deal in the Paris restaurants, where, of course, there is a luxury and an abandon that shock sensitive people who think of war-streken France. Sometimes the crowd is wild, with champagne flowing, and women in the filmiest of garments. Parisians say Paris, during the summer months especially, is no longer Paris. It belongs to the Americans, and to a class of Americans such as was not seen here before the war. Because of the so-called "Present Wave of Immorality," many of the Americans who had lived in Paris, as the art and cultural capital of the world are leaving forever. But Paris will still be Paris, with its painted women and shocking night life. Dancing goes on, and American adventurers into the realm of gaiety, and those catering thereto, are now changing skating rinks and ice palaces into smart champagne dauce halls to entertain and amuse the rich men and women tourists who annually monopolize the French capital.

A. Majors A few years ago the Shakespearean dramas were silenced by rapid changes of civilization, and a new order sprung into being. The dramas written by the immortal bard of 'Avon are as well-night immortal, and they are appreciated and respected by the most learned people of all the world and perhaps read more extensively than any other book except the Bible. Shakespeare sounded with a mental vision all of the heights and depths of human nature. In his matchless intellect he treasured all of the great courts of royalty, and brought kings and queens, and great potentates before the common vision of the poor, by hurling them before the footlights with pleas for mercy, or excuse for acts they would have populace approve. What was it that almost put the Shakespearean dramas to almost Herculean silence? It may have been the advent of vaudeville, the supergorgeous burlesque, the modern comedy, combined with the commercial spirit of the literary age that has brought to the surface within the last dozen years such writers as Hal Caine, Winston Churchill, H. G. Wells, A. Conan Doyle, George Bernard Shaw, Arthur Brisbane, and a host of others of less magnitude. Then the era business opportunity for riot in a speculative period no doubt has sobered the mind of humanity to a very great extent. Of course, we are not to lose sight of the fact that the new day takes powerful stress from the old day. Modern life has become an impelling force itself, and people are drifting away from those older lessons learned, when they could learn no others. Then there is the integral factor, or unit. Perhaps more impressive the individual; separate and distinct in all that pertains to life itself, not excluding its aims, beliefs, principles sustaining truths founded upon knowledge, and proved by a thousand experiences; these are the lulling hynotics that have put Wm. Henry Shakespeare drama to peaceful sleep, only temporary, yet to peaceful sleep. Now, what of all of this about Shakespeare? What is it in your mind, Mister? You who are so all fired thoughtful for the rest of us? We are very anxious to know what it is that is so great a burden on your literary heart. If Wm. Henry Shakespeare is ever to come back then the Negro tragedian will give him the vogue. The American knows that Shakespeare's greatest characters were the Negro and the Jew. His dramas do not match well with the American system of caste, to flaunt before an audience Othello in the act of killing a white woman, after she had proved her love for a black man would be very unpopular in this period of the world's progress. White men do not believe good white women love colored men. Can't you see, reader, some of the causes of the suppression of Shakespeare? No writer of any race has ever undertaken to tell this truth to the public before. LEAVES CITY Rev. J. W. Tutt of Davenport, Ia. state grand master of U. B. F. & S. M.

EMANCIPATION DAY AT HAMPTON INSTITUTE "New Day Is Dawning in Race Relations," Declares Dr. J. L. Shepard NEW COUNTY INTEREST RECORD SET BY CARR 1921 Collections Reach Total of $654,419.90; Commissioners Laud Result NEGROES MAKE PROGRESS Dr. James E. Gregg Says "Hampton Belongs to the Colored People" Hampton, Va.-Two thousand colored men, women and children of the Lower Peninsula of Virginia celebrated the fifty-ninth anniversary of Emancipation Day by holding public exercises in Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute, under the auspices of the Elizabeth City County Emancipation Association, of which C. H. Henderson is president. Dr. James E. Gregg, in his address of welcome, declared that it was appropriate to link up the thought of freedom with the thought of education. "A school," he said, "is a peculiarly appropriate place for the commemoration of the end of slavery and the beginning of full legal freedom—intellectual freedom, deliverance from the bondage of superstition and ignorance; moral freedom, delivered from all the habits which enchain and enslave a man and keep him from being his best and truest self." Dr. Gregg added: "Hampton Institute belongs to the colored people. It is devoted to serving them and to serving the young people of the Indian race. All that Hampton has is given freely for the enrichment and the upbuilding of its young men and women and through them to the blessing of the races which they represent. Community Center Will Be Bought Major Allen Washington, commandant of cadets at Hampton Institute, in introducing the speaker of the day, Dr. James E. Shepard, president of the National Training School at Durham, N. C., urged the colored people to purchase and support the local community center, so that their boys and girls may have a place for wholesome recreation. Major Washington impressed upon his hearers the importance of present action. He declared that procrastination would be a great calamity to the community as it would mean the loss of a community center three times as valuable as the price which the colored people are called on to pay. J. M. Pollard of the National Headquarters of Community Service, Inc., made an appeal to the people to contribute to the fund for the purchase of the local Hampton community house. He referred to the work of Ohio colored people; in Dayton a population of 9,600 recently gave $15,000 for a community center; in Cleveland, 35,000 gave $40,000, and in Columbus, colored people gave $18,000. The Emancipation Day program included singing of "America" by the audience; invocation by Rev. J. T. Johnson of Hampton; "O Freedom," sung by the audience; reading of the Emancipation Proclamation by Miss Lucy C. Barrow of Phoebus; address, "The Essentials of a Democracy," by Arthur P. Davis, a Hampton Institute student, emphasizing "respect for law, education and intelligence, physical and moral courage, deep spiritual life and high Christian ideals, which are possessed by Negroes;" "Soldiers of Freedom," Hampton Glee Club; "Negro National Hymn," words by James Weldon Johnson and music by Rosamond Johnson, sung by Phoebus Glee Club, and benediction, Rev. John H. Gray of Hampton. Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Sulinger have started the erection of their future home in Morgan Park on lots purchased at 11267 S. May street, through the Bailey Realty Co., 3638 S.

START NEW HOME NEW COUNTY INTEREST RECORD SET BY CARR 1921 Collections Reach Total of $654,419.90; Commissioners Laud Result Congratulations were recently extended to County Treasurer Patrick J. Carr by members of the Board of County Commissioners because of the large amount of interest money earned on public funds during the year 1921 as indicated in the report to the board. All previous records were shattered. The total interest received on all funds ending December 1, 1921, was $654,419.90. Mr. Carr has been Treasurer since April and the interest is on money collected since that time. Lauds Check System Ludus Check System The wisdom of checking on the Treasurer's records and requiring him to report all interest earned is shown, Mr. Carr says, in comparing the records of past years. In 1905 the total interest turned over by the County Treasurer was only $75,138, according to records in the County Comptroller's office. The total has grown steadily until it has reached the big figure reported by Mr. Carr. In 1909 the interest received, according to the Comptroller's records, had increased to $117,266.91; in 1914 it amounted to $189,286.12, in 1918 to $300,533.45, in 1920 to $684,681.17 and this year to $654,419.30. The best showing of any month during 1921 was in May, when the interest amounted to $128,638.44. The poorest showing was in January, $12,461.12, a period when practically no tax money was being received. Treasurer Carr's Letter Treasurer Carr's Letter In his letter to the County Commis- sioners, Treasurer Carr says: I herewith take pleasure in submi- tting to you an accounting of all interest earned on County moneys for the fiscal year ending November 30, 1921. A resume of all of said interest shows a total for the year of interest from all sources on all county moneys of $654,419.90. This is by far the largest amount of interest ever returned on county moneys. If your honorable body should desire to make an audit of this interest or appoint a committee for that purpose, I will gladly give them every access to the County Treasurer's records. The new law, which went into effect in 1919, covering interest on county moneys, makes it obligatory upon the county treasurer, as well as upon all depositaries of county moneys, to make verified returns each month with affidavits attached and sworn to as to the amount of interest earned on such moneys, the original copies of which are in the hands of the comptroller of Cook County. These verified returns will show that the amount stated ($654,419.90) is accurate. NEW "JIM CROW" CAR LAW FOR NASVILLE, TENN. On the 3rd of this month a Jim Crow ordinance was introduced before the city council by Hines, one of the councilmen, and referred to a special committee consisting of Hines, Yarbrough and Willard. This ordinance goes further than the already existing one to provide that a portion of each car should be set apart for each race and that strict segregation be enforced. Large printed and movable signs are to be used and the entrances also are to be separate. It is to take effect thirty days after passage. Mrs. Lottie Carter, 5423 S.

THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 1922. Commodore Ferdinand W. Peck, the First Citizen of Chicago, Favors the German Monorail System for Chicago. (Concluded from page 1.) are many others here I might mention. Now, gentlemen, I am not an engineer. I am not a mechanic. I do not understand how these cars are going to get around curves, but they will, and they will not interfere with the trolley lines. They run seventy miles an hour in Germany. We don't need that speed here, but we need as much or more speed as we have on the elevated or on the surface lines. There is John F. Foster, who was formerly city engineer of the city plan in New York city. Those are all eminent men of national reputation. Everyone of them will tell you that the monorail is practical. Now, we have to listen to other people because, as I have said, we may plunge into unknown dangers here, and we must be influenced by the opinions of people who are eminent engineers, and whose opinions are valuable on such a subject. Gentlemen, it would be criminal if you did not give the monorail a trial. Eight months, and a million and a half dollars, a mere bagatelle when it is compared to the two hundred million dollars required and the time for the subway, and if you can avoid the construction of the awful tunnel, gentlemen, for God's sake do it. Ald. Gearnsey: Mr. Chairman. The Chairman: Alderman Guernsey. Ald. Gearnsey: May I ask the Commodore one question? The Chairman: Just one, Alderman Alderman Guernsey: I am wondering whether you have given consideration to the necessity of double capacity of the north and south side elevated roads, or whether you have given consideration to the necessity of double the capacity of the north and south side elevated roads from Chicago avenue on the north to some point south of the loop, there being but one line each way, as you, of course, recall. Ald. Guernsey: And that, making the neck of the bottle smaller than the contents north and south, and, even though you advocate the monorail as the best plan, and in your judgment you have to have a general scheme, do you not think that there is a possible necessity of that underground tube between, say Chicago avenue on the north and 22nd street on the south, to augment the elevated, and to save the necessity of further development in the street for these same cars? Commodore Peck: I will answer that in two ways. I will admit that it will probably be necessary to have a tube or a subway out of the loop and then go on your monorail track. I will answer you in another way. In my judgment, if you adopt the monorail, the elevated system of the city of Chicago will be in the scrap heap, just like the battleships of the United States will be. Ald Guernsey: Ultimately. Commodore Peck: Yes, sir, as we may not need them. Ald. Guernsey: No. Commodore Peck: If we adopt this system, that is my opinion of what will occur. Ald. Guernsey: But I have in mind the immediate ten years succeeding this time, in what is confronting us. Mr. Chairman, I am not asking him a second question, I am discussing it. (Laughter.) The Chairman: Yes, Mr. Peck, we are much obliged to you. Commodore Peck: I am not through. The Chairman: Go ahead. Commodore Peck: But I don't want to take the time of your committee. The Chairman: Go ahead. Commodore Peck: But this subject, gentlemen, is very dear to me, because I love Chicago. Another thing, gentlemen, if you spend this money in making this test line of six miles, say from Canal street to the city limits on Madison street, and right over the street cars, it will cost you as I told you, a million and a half dollars, and you will have the salvage of the iron, if it should be, unfortunately, disappointing. You have got that, and you will simply ATTORNEY RICHARD E. WEST- BROOKS RE-ELECTED PRESI- DENT OF THE COOK COUNTY BAR ASSOCIATION. The annual election of the Cook County Bar Association, at which officers for the forthcoming year were elected, was held at the Appomattox Club last Saturday evening. Hon. Richard E. Westbrooks was re-elected President. The office of president was hotly contested by Hon. James A. Scott, Assistant State's Attorney and C. Francis Strafford. Mr. Scott withdrew after the first ballot had been cast. Attorney John F. Wilson nominated Mr. Westbrooks. Attorney N. S. Taylor nominated Mr. Scott. Attorney A. M. Burroughs nominated Mr. Strafford. Commodore Peck: Yes Ald Guernsey; Ultimately. Ald. Guernsey: No. The Chairman: Go ahead be out the labor. The iron will be just as valuable and good when you scrap it as it was when you put it in there. Now, I am going to say just one word in a general way. I move a great deal among what you call the more intelligent class of people in this city of Chicago. I belong to eight clubs. I have founded nearly all of them myself, including the Union League Club, the Chicago Club, the Chicago Athletic, the Press Club and others. Well, I talk with thinking men in those clubs every day, men whom we all respect. The concensus of opinion is that we have today in the city of Chicago a Common Council we ought to be proud of, and it is the greatest Common Council we have ever had in my experience. The members are men of integrity and men of ability, and I take off my hat to the Common Council, as well as I do to the Mayor of the city of Chicago. Gentlemen, you ought to be proud to be in that body. We have to look to you for relief. We have to look to you for realization of all our desires and needs in this great city. Now, I have coined an expression I term "Civic Harmony." I never heard anybody else use it. Civic harmony means co-operation and harmony between the three elements, the people, the press and the Mayor. That is what "Civic Harmony" means. If you want the greatest advancement and prosperity in this great city of ours, let these three elements of this great city pool together and pull together. There is too much lack of cohesion here in Chicago and too much unjust criticism thrown at our Mayor constantly and also at the council by newspapers and too much of a lack of harmony between the council and the Mayor. Gentlemen, pull together. You have a great Mayor. You can well afford to take off your hats to him. He has never been accused of lack of integrity. Gentlemen, he sat on that knee of mine when he was two months old, and nobody knows him as well as I do. His wife does not, or anybody else. I might tell his wife a good many things about him that she does not know. (Uproarous laughter.) Gentlemen of the committee, he is the most constructive Mayor we have ever had. There are more tangible results to show from his administration, his one and one-half administrations, than we have had in the administration of any Mayor we have ever had, and I have been intimately acquainted and associated with every one, from Dr. Boone, our Mayor who was present when my mother brought me forth into this world, down to the present Mayor, and I know whereof I speak. I am mighty proud of our Mayor. Now, gentlemen, I am mighty proud of him, not only because he is Mayor but because he is worthy of being Mayor. Now, I hope, gentlemen, you will take that suggestion I make to heart, and pull with your Mayor, as you cannot get results without harmony, and we must have it. It is unfortunate we have to move along here and pull apart from our splendid Mayor. Can you not pull together? There have been editorials printed in The Tribune and in the News and in the Post about our Mayor that are disgraceful. Now, gentlemen, I wish to express my appreciation for the time you have given me, and I do ask you to build this test line of the monorail, as when you do that, you will have solved this problem, and I ask you to start in at once, for if you undertake this dark and impenetrable subway, we will "fly to ills we know not of," and we will impair the financial condition of Chicago if you build the subway, but you will never regret it if you test the monorail, and you will never cease to regret it if you build a subway without such test. If you try the monorail and find it, for some unknown reason, impractical, then you can build your subway afterwards, but you will not build it, as the monorail will be a triumph. Gentlemen, I thank you very much. The Chairman: There being nothing else before the committee, we will stand adjourned. Whereupon the sub-committee adjourned. Other officers elected were First Vice President, C. Francis Strafford; Second Vice President, Violet N. Anderson, Third Vice President, J. Harold Mosly; Secretary, William L. Oford; Treasurer, Oliver A. Clark. The Board of Directors is made up of Colonel Franklin A. Denison, Willis E. Mollison, Hon. James A. Scott, H. M. Porter, J. Gray Lucas, A. E. Patterson and N. S.

THOMAS GALLAGHER Ex-Member of Congress from the Eighth Congressional District of Illinois Who Is Being Urged by His Legions of Friends to Enter the Race for One of the Trustees of the Sanitary District of Chicago. N. A. A. C. P. MASS MEETING URGES CONGRESS TO PASS DYER BILL The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in its annual mass meeting on the night of January 7, in New York City, unanimously and by acclamation passed the following resolution calling upon Congress to pass, the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill: "Since 1889, 3,434 human beings accused of crime have been murdered by mobs in the United States before their guilt could be established by law or their punishment legally inflicted. "During the World War when the allied nations were fighting to make the world safe for democracy, more than 250 United States citizens were lynched in America. During the last year 63 have been lynched, and since Congress has been debating the Dyer Bill, mobs in impudent defiance of the government have murdered 39 victims. "Some of these lynchings have been accompanied by the most atrocious and revolting orgies; in the last three years 23 have been publicly burned at the stake amid torture an dphysical maiming, and in the presence of women and children, and in many cases the burning has been openly advertised beforehand. "No particular crime is responsible for this blood lust. Since 1889, 2,593 persons have been lynched, against whom no accusation of any crime against womanhood has been even alleged, and in this same period 64 women have been lynched. "In view of a record of lawlessness which shames this nation in the eyes of the civilized world, neutralizes her philanthropy and religion, denies her civilization and discredit its democratic government everywhere, we, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in mass meeting assembled, appeal to the United States Congress to take drastic action in order that lynching may be stopped absolutely and forever and by the power of the Federal government. The states will not and cannot act. They stand helpless before the mob and confess openly their helplessness. "We assert that an enormity so cruel and frightful calls upon this government to hesitate at no technicalities and legal hair-splitting, but to go to the limit of its authority in maintaining law and order; in re-establishing republican government according to constitutional guarantees, and in giving its own citizens at least as much protection as international law compels it to give to foreigners. "In the name of God and humanity, Congressmen of the United States, pass the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill!" INVITED TO VIRGINIA M. T. Bailey, 3638 S. State street; president of the Alumni Association of the V. N. & I. I. at Petersburg, Va. has just been invited to attend a big mass meeting on January 15 at Richmond, Va., by the citizens of Richmond and surrounding towns at which time the president of the Institute, Prof. John M. Gandy, will make public the appointment of Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes as non-resident lecturer and a member of the faculty. If for any reasons, Mr. Bailey cannot be present, he will be represented either by Hon. J. C. Robertson of Richmond or Hon.'J. Thomas Newsome of Newport News, Va. the Eighth Congressional District of by His Legions of Friends to Enter ustees of the Sanitary District of Chi JACK RABBIT FEVER Rabbits, lice and a species of horsefly (crysops disalis), says the U.S. Public Health Service, are all responsible for the transmission of an infectious disease of rodents, recently christened tularaemia. Investigations and experiments made in Utah in the summer of 1920 demonstrate that the disease originates among jack rabbits, to which it seems very fatal, and is transmitted to man, and other rabbits, by a blood-sucking horsefly which obtains it by biting the rabbits and passes it on by biting the man or another rabbit. Further investigations disclose that the wild rabbits are infested with lice and that these lice also spread the disease among them. Experimental transmission by means of these lice explains how infection is kept alive from year year. Tularaemia is seldom fatal to man only one death due to it being known. It is, however, a disabling septic fever which lasts from three to six weeks and from which convalescence is slow. Its economic consequences to the victims, however, are serious because it attacks farmers and field workers in the busy midsummer and harvest seasons, when the fly carrier is most prevalent, and lays them up for two or three months. This is the season of closed windows and overheated, badly ventilated living and working conditions. And these conditions are directly responsible for what we call the seasonal increase in cases of pneumonia, bronchitis, catarrh and common colds. Pneumonia cases and deaths increase in Chicago each year from October to May. With the advent of the outdoor season they rapidly decline until cold weather comes again. Watch your air supply. * * * To think is to suggest. Thinking health tends to suggest health. Some people are prone to worry about disease and fancy they have the symptoms of this, that or the other ailment. The trouble is they think along the lines which suggest disease or sickness instead of the subjects which would suggest health and vigor. In doing things that are worth while, co-operation counts for much. In fact it is almost everything. One person alone cannot transform a dirty and unkempt neighborhood into a clean and tidy one. But when the neighbors all-pitch in and help, the job is easy and soon completed. * * * The decayed and aching tooth is too often beyond the skill of the dentist to repair. The wise thing to do is to have the teeth examined before it is too late to save them. * * * Smallpox, a most loathsome disease, is no respector of persons. The only one who is protected against it is the individual who has been successfully vaccinated. There is plenty of good, fresh air in God's big outdoors. Then why exclude it from the places where we live and work. Smallpox has not terrors for the person who is protected against it by being vaccinated. How about you?

BOOK CHAT--BY MARY WHITE OVINGTON—CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COL- ORED PEOPLE. AUTHOR OF “HALF A MAN,” “HAZEL,” “THE SHADOW,” ETC. Sn ee oe Merete seek, I received a letter the other day from a woman living in a city of the Southwest which ran in part as fol- lows: “I read what you wrote about what the publishers said about colored peo- ple not being a reading public, and I think they are wrong. I do not think the great majority of colored people — about these books and publica- tions, and the few who do know like myself are so poor that they have not’ been able to subscribe and buy like they want to. They are just too poor as I am....Of course, one can do housework at $2.50, $3.00 and sometimes $5.00 or a little more a week, but everything is mighty high, and when the necessaries of life are got there isn’t anything left for books and papers.” My corresponden: agrees with me that only a few of the colored people know of the manifold books and pub- lications on the Negro question, and this confirms me in my belief of the need of Book Chat. What she says of the inability of the Negro to buy books is another matter. Of course, a city that pays as low as $2.50 a week for housework, and only reaches as high as $5.00 or 2 little more, pays starvation wages. One is horrified that such exploitation of women should continue. And doubtless there are other of my readers besides my correspondent who are struggling for the bare things of existence. But in the colored world as well as in the white there are large numbers of people who spend money for more things than actual shelter and food and raiment. They go to moving pic- ‘ture theaters, they buy a new record for the victrola, they indulge in sodas ‘and sundaes, and if they want them badly enough, they buy books. They have the money for +h: thing they ‘most want. If you believe in wide reading, you can easily train a child to indulge in it. Give him a book shelf in his room, and ste if if doés aot soon fill up. The child knows what it likes and makes its wants known and money will be saved for the new romance or *history or book of ad- venture. When Christmas and birth- day celebrations come the harrassed relative, wanting to know what will please John or Susie, sees the book- self and gladly gives a contribution.

Few parents object to pampering a child's love for books. And it is the same as we grow older. Unless we are in the tragic $2.50 a week group, we have a margin for other than bare necessities and decide ourselves whether our surplus shall go toward a piano or a victrola, toward a ple- thora of moving pictures, toward per- sonal adornment or toward a well stocked library. We choose. How fascinating book shelves are! ‘To the lover of books, next to his own shelves, nothing is so fascinat- ing as to browse around another man’s bookcase. Unless the book ‘agent has forced his wares upon an understanding buyer, books reflect their owner and are indicative of his eae and interests. How one thrills at the sight of a volume of well loved poetry im another's home! One may be almost a stranger to the person one has gone to visit, but the book ‘at once creates a common bond. It would be ill-bred to scrutinize too ‘carefully a man’s furniture, Lut it is a permissible to move one’s ‘hand lovingly over a line of books, picking out -a favorite for perusal ‘while awaiting. For my part I cling to the open bookshelf, even though the tops of my volumes accumulate dirt, I love so to see my books standing out wholly invitingly, not behind a film of glass, but where I may run my hand over them, taking one out without the formality of me a door or moving up a par- tition. | T got a high school girl to dust my books for me this fall. (She was not paid by the hour!) She seemed to me to take an unconscionable amount of time for the task. One week, two weeks, and it was not finished. And finally, when she had done she told me confidentially that she could not put a book back upon the shelf with- ‘out fondling it in her hands and look- ing for a brief space into it.

That would mean twelve vol- umes a year, twelve new friends come to visit you, not for the brief moment that the library allows, but to take off their wraps and settle down for life. Be cautious how you allow them to go visiting. They are so apt to lose their way, quite inadvertantly, of course, and fai! never to return home. But do you know them your- self, turning to them not for. one reading only, but again and again. What do you think of this as a New Year resolve, Gentle Reader? Shoe Lore.

Buekles, when there are any, are apt to be rather inconspicuous. The bro- cades are the thing, and they are used to make the whole slipper, with Its in- trieacies of strappings over the instep. Girdles in Variety. A good deal of interest centers around the girdle which a frock adopts. ‘The trend at present, it le said, ts to make the hips appear as large 83 pow sible by means of padded girdle effects. or fur running through velvet loops, and the aproo effects are also men tioned.

If a woman of average inte.- Ugence gives her thought to the right garment. for the right occasion and casts a sharp glance at the present mode she may dress well at compara- tively small outlay.” ‘The speaker was busily fashioning an odd little bag of velvet. Shé was wearing a knitted sport dress, high of neck and long of sleeve, in a dell- cate lavender. “I knitted this dress. You see, I practice as well as preach,” she naive- ly produced the daintiest of work bags and exhibited a biack lace stocking she has Just finished. “Here's a stocking I made to mate & black lace evening gown. Simply rip up an old stocking for a pattern and cut from a yard of all-over lace, use silk Jersey for sole, heel and toe, whip the seam carefully and finish the top with the hem from a discarded pair of stockings.” The directions were simple and the product a tell- ing tribute to the skill of the maker. “And here's a sport dress any girt way have now that tweed-like fabrics and economy are in vogue.

She declared she “dressed up” her own home in unbleached muslin dyed in shades from brown to gold, used black lace shades appliqued with a medaition of color cut from a design in cretonne in a room furnished with old-fashioned hair cloth furniture. “The effect 1s artistic and restful, the browns and golds cheer up the haireloth furniture in its eustere wal- ut, the tones of the medallions blend the’ schemes together.

CHICAGO Telephone Central 1239 PERHAPS the most obvious advantage to be obtained by buying bonds on easy payments is the opportunity to save small sums systematically with a high interest return. Ten dollars a month or more will make an initial payment on a Lincoln Bond which pays 7% interest from the date of the first payment. The instalment plan is a boon also to the investor who is following the trend of interest rates and knows that it is uncertain how much longer well-secured 7% First Mortgage bonds will be available. The instalment plan enables him to "tie up" more good bonds paying a high interest rate than he would be in a position to purchase outright. Any 7% First Mortgage Real Estate Gold Bond offered by this bank may be purchased on instalments. Let us send you, without obligation, de- tails of this plan, and information con- cerning our approved 7% First Morti- gage Bonds. Write for Circular 14.

A living room of all rooms in the home is the most important, and one writer says: "Furnishing a living room is like starting out on a voyage of discovery." This room should be furnished with thought for the need and comfort of each individual member of the family. Give to the master of the household a comfortable fireside chair, a table beside that chair on which he can place a paper, magazine, book or any other things that he may wish there; give him his own reading lamp and a comfortable stool in front of his chair.
