Early Sunday morning or late Saturday night, Pope Benedict the XV, who was born November 21, 1854, peacefully closed his eyes in death, after a short illness. Pope Benedict the XV., was one of the world's greatest human characters. He was invested with his great power as Pope, or ruler over the Roman Catholic world, in September, 1914, when the whole world (as it were) was being drenched or bathed in human blood. At that time and ever afterwards, he used his great power and influence in an effort to restore peace and harmony throughout the civilized world and to further stop, the shedding of so much human blood and the slaughter of millions of human beings. Like many of the Popes of olden times, he ruled over his millions of followers with a golden rod, which caused him to be held in universal esteem and the people of all races and creeds, were greatly pained to learn that he had been gently gathered into the arms of his Heavenly Father.

WEAR SKIRTS OR OUT YOU GO, PASTOR WARNS MAIDS Ottawa, Ont.—Young women who come to church in skiing costumes, "without skirts," will be put out, the Rev. Father O'Gorman, M. C., pastor of the Church of the Blessed Sacrament, has announced. Talking about ladies appearing on the streets without skirts, several weeks ago while walking on 35th st., near Vernon Ave., we came in contact with a lady whom we had met several times prior to that time. She is powerfully fine looking, a high stepper and she weighs something less than two hundred pounds. It was a very cold morning when we ran into her and she whom was bundled up around her neck or head with a big fur coat, her dress struck her just above her large or big knees and she had her so-called stockings rolled away down low, and being old enough to be married four or five times and after looking her over from head to foot we exclaimed, "Lady, it seems to us that you need to cover up your fat shanks some way or other for you are more than liable to catch cold down below." And she came back at us by saying, "that she was so hot down there that she needed plenty of fresh air in order to cool her off." We simply said, "go to it, Lady, for you are unable to see yourself as others see you."—Editor. MILTON ests Who Has Ever Presided in the the County Court.

HOWARD WINS HIGH RATING IN PENN RELAY RACES Track Team Has Schedule of Brilliant Events for Season Washington, D. C.—Another year of brilliant indoor track and field successes is expected by the Howard University track team with the announcement of its entry in a number of meets for the coming season. The members of last year's track team have already reported to Coach Morrison for training and along with them have come a large number of recruits. Of the most significant events in which the Howard track team will participate this year is the Penn relay games to be held under the auspices of the University of Pennsylvania on Franklin Field, Philadelphia, in April. This year Howard has been listed to compete in the one mile college relay against institutions having a higher rating in this event than those against whom she competed last year. Howard's success in the one mile college relay last year, having taken first place, tended to increase the interest in this college sport at the University and it is predicted that although the varsity relay team is to compete in a faster class this year, it will becomingly acquit itself. Schedule Includes Four Meets Up to the preset time, Howard University has been entered for the Melrose games to be held at Madison Square Garden, New, York City, on February 1, 1922, to compete in the 600-yard indoor run; the university is sending four men to participate in the Boston Athletic Association games to be held in Boston, Mass., on February 4. Two teams are to be entered in the Penn relay games to be held on Franklin Field, Philadelphia, Pa., on April 29 and 30, 1922. Last year only the varsity team was sent to these games composed of Messrs' Craft, Contee, Perry and Robinson. This team won its event over a large number of competitors. A freshman team and a varsity team will compete in the games this year. Howard Track Meet to Be Held in Spring As a closing event of the track season, Howard University will hold its third annual track and field meet on its campus on May 13, 1922. The meet will be for the colleges and secondary schools for championship in each class and the recognized athletic clubs with A. A. U. standing for the open events. The college events will include: 100-yard dash; 220-yard dash; 440-yard dash; 880-yard run; 1 mile run; 220-yard hurdles; 1 mile relays; $1\%$ mile heel and toe race; running broad jump; pole vault; 12-pound shot put; javelin throw; running high jump; discus throw, and possibly the 56-pound hammer throw. The high school events will include: 100-yard dash; 220-yard dash; 440-yard dash; 880-yard run 1 mile run; 1 mile re HON. WILLIAM HALE THOMPSON lay; 12-pound shout put; running high jump, and 12-yard hurdles. The open events will include: 100-yard dash; 880-yard run; 1 mile run; 1 mile relay. A 5 mile cross country run will be held for the open events in the morning. Entries for this meet will be received from universities, colleges and secondary schools throughout the country. The meet this year is expected to eclipse the two previous meets held at Howard University. Banners with the names of each school participating in the meet will be awarded the winning teams as a school trophy and a suitable medal will be awarded to each individual winner. Track Stars to Be in Attendance Track Stars to Be in Attendance As an added attraction to the Howard track meet to be held in May, invitations will be sent to such men as Gourdin, the world's champion jumper; Shelbourne, Watson and Earl Johnson, recognized track stars, requesting them to enter for special events. The Department of Physical Education of the Howard University under whose auspices the meet is to be held, invites the representatives of the various Colored newspapers to meet for the purposes of giving the general public their impressions of the meet; its object, and the results obtained by the individuals as well as the schools they represent. HOWARD'S DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION TO DEVELOP INTEREST IN VARIOUS GAMES. Washington, D. C.—On account of the increased enrollment at Howard University, the Department of Physical Education has recently acquired new gymnasium equipment, including dumb bells, Indian clubs, swinging booms, climbing ropes, etc., the installation of this new equipment affords opportunity for a larger number of the young men and women of the university for further development along lines of physical education and enables the Department of Physical Education to give more intensive instruction in the gymnasium work. Group games are being planned for the coming season both among the young women and young men of the university. Interest in volley ball, hockey, cricket, tennis, etc., will be encouraged among all in order that larger groups may have the recreational benefit of these games. Mr. Jesse Binga, President of the Binga State Bank and Hon. Oscar De Priest, one of its directors, returned home the midst of this week from Washington, D. C., where they had a pleasant interview with Hon. Martin B. Madden, and President Warren G. Harding. THOUSANDS OF WHITE PEOPLE ARE UNABLE TO READ IN MISSISSIPPI A bill to establish schools for adult illiterates introduced by State Senator Bell has been defeated in the upper house of Mississippi legislature. The Negro question was injected into the debate and was reported to be the main reason the bill was lost. The need of such a bill in Mississippi becomes apparent when it is known that 23,921 white people in Mississippi cannot write, to say nothing of the 205,813 Negroes in the same condition. Mississippi is far down in the list of states from an educational standpoint and is destined to remain so as long as it allows its prejudice against Negroes to prevent the passage and enforcement of constructive legislation. One out of every ten illiterates in Mississippi is white; nine out of every ten are Negroes. In spite of this, according to figures of the Research and Records department of the Chicago Urban League, almost half of the Negroes of school age and over one-fourth of the white people of school age, are not in school; from this it can be easily seen that though there may be slight improvement in Mississippi's condition it is destined to be a "backwoods state" for a long time yet unless it changes its attitude. Thus preduce hurts white as well as black WILL TEST THE RIGHT OF COLORED MEN TO SIT ON THE IURIES IN TEXAS Austin, Texas. — The right of Negroes to have members of their race on the juries which indict them is to be tested in the Supreme Court of the United States. Charles Bradford was convicted of assault to murder before the 37th District Court of Bexar County and sentenced to seven years imprisonment. The state court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the judgment of the trial court, but later a writ of error was granted and the case will go on to the United States Supreme Court, but will be fought hotly by the state officials. The petition to the Supreme Court gives the following grounds for appeal. No members of his race and color were permitted or allowed to serve or sit upon the grand jury which indicted him, but were excluded on account of their race and color and for no other reason. All members of his race were and have been so excluded and prevented from serving on the grand jury in the Bexar court for many years. This discrimination amounts to a violation of the first section of the Fourteenth Amendment by denying equal protection of law. X HON. MATT. A.

NAKED DANSEUSE Berlin.—A cold hearted judge turned thumbs down on an attempt by Celly de Rheydt, celebrated German naked dancer, to attempt to prove her work is art for art's sake, drawing a parallel with Phryne of ancient times, who danced nude to persuade a judge of her chastity. Celly and her husband were fined 37,000 marks, the judge taking advantage of a new German law permitting money fines in place of jail. "It has been testified," said the judge, "that the announcer at the cabaret where Celly was appearing counseled the audience to have patience, because Celly had not nished undressing. "It if it really was an artistic act it was Celly's duty to file an immediate protest against this disgusting joke of the announcer." After all it would not hurt nor harm anyone if the dear sweet ladies would be permitted everywhere and at all times to appear absolutely naked, for by doing so they would simply be leading us back to the way that our fore parents, the baboons and the other four-footed animals dressed for as a matter of fact, they never wore any clothing at all and they never had anything to cover up or uncover and it would be far more sanitary and healthful for the present day ladies to imitate our fore fathers, the monkeys in that respect for at the present time they come mighty near showing everything which should be covered up or over or concealed or hid away out of sight—Editor.

Charles Young, who was a graduate of West Point, who was considered the most efficient colored military officer in the United States army who for many years commanded the far-famed Tenth Cavalry, recently passed away at Lagos, Nigeria, West Africa, and his remains were laid to rest at that place about fifteen days ago. As stated before, Col. Young was a graduate of West Point, and at the time of his death he was about 51 years old. A son and daughter attending school in Belgium, and a wife in New York City, survive him. Col. Young, at the time of his death, was on active duty as Military Attache to Liberia, with headquarters at Monrovia. During the Spanish-American War he was commander of the 9th Ohio separate battalion. He was also military attache to Haiti and subsequently served a term of duty as military advisor to the Liberia government. He was retired in 1917 at the time the United States was in war with Germany. This caused a storm of protest throughout the country. Colonel Young was one of the best known and most efficient of the Colored officers in the Army. Hon. Lawrence F.

MAJORS 4700 South State Street Phone Drexel 1416 THE CLUB AN AGENT OF FORCE For some months the writer has thought seriously of Club life as an agency of community force of any race. To write about it has been in the writer's mind for quite a while, in fact. It would be very difficult to measure in cash value the Appomattox Club has been worth to the Negro on the South Side. There are a few members of that club who can really apreciate its potency in the Negro life of Chicago. Indeed a retroxion and in retrospect one who has been to the Windy City for twenty-five years may with his vivid imagination reassociate himself with the days of Perry Hull. Gen. Grant, William Lorimer, Gov. Yates, Gov. Tanner, Carter H. Harrison, Jr., Gov. Dunne, Gov. Deneen, Robert T. Lincoln and a great host of lesser men of the state and nation. In all of the years of this great club on the South Side, the interests of the social life of the race has never been underestimated, improperly interpreted nor overlooked. Its parlers have given comfort to such men as Ex-Governor P. B. S. Pinchback, Isaiah T. Montgomery, Hon. Chas. Anderson of New York, Booker T. Washington, Geo. L. Knox, W. E. B. Dubois, Dr. Chas. S. Morris of Norfolk, John Mitchell, Jr., Major John R. Lynch, J. Madison Vance, Major Theopolis T. Allain, Robert M. Mitchell, Charles G. Cotterell, William M. McDonald of Texas. The various clubs of which we may proudly boast were organized when our population in Chicago was around thirty thousand. Now we have very close to a colored population of two hundred thousand, and it may not sound shocking or tend to horrify any body should be say that Chicago's real club is in the making and why should we not have a real big club. The white race has five hundred. We have become convinced that there are some good reasons existing why so many worthy big men whose names are on the books and who pay their dues, seldom if ever give their presence to any of the club functions. Dozens of such prominent men see the great need of a club in Chicago, while standing up for racial ideals and retaining their membership with The Appomattox Club contend that a new club may be organized, and developed out of a higher spirit of race loyalty and a more laudable purpose, maintaining a zealous regard in the selection of its members and without fear or favors sustaining a high principle when determining the minutest detail. Judson Lyons, J. C. Napier, Dr. C. V. Roman, W. J. Smallwood, Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom, Dr. H. T. Kealing, Emmett J. Scott, Dr. A. M. Curis, Judge Robt. H. Terrell, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Cyrus Field Adams, Rev. Dr. John T. Jenifer, Professor Isaac Fisher, Dr. R. K. Moton, Hon. Ralph Tyler, Prof. J. R. E. Lee, Atty. Cotton, Jack Johnson, Bert Williams and hundreds of others worthy but less poignant on the life of the race, therefore less prominent. The foregoing is quite sufficient to establish the importance of the club in the life of a people. It has taken its place in the civic life, and fills a need more befitting than many other institutions we might name. The club suggests mutual interests and common welfare and seems to promote things upon which are stamped collective approbation, thus it becomes a force representing the forward and upward trend of the people. Supplied with its prerequisites it is at once well high indispensable, while it gradually makes itself invincible. Thus The Appomattox Club of Chicago has made itself an enviable reputation and a fixture. And while it In the regular monthly meeting of The Virginia Society held Wednesday evening, Jan. 18, M. T. Bailey, president of the Bailey Realty Co., and manager of The Milton Mercantile Agency, 3638 S. State St., was elected president of the Virginia Society to succeed R. L. Ferguson, formerly of Bowling Green, Va., who has served honorably for three years. Mr. Bailey is a Virginian by birth (F.F.V.) and was graduated from the V. N. C. I. Petersburg, Va., with the class of 1900 and has served for eighteen years as president of the Alumni Association of his Alma Mater during which time an unparalleled record has been made both for the school and for the Association. Other officers elected were J. B. Street, an alumnus of The Hampton Normal & Industrial In- O stitute, Hampton, Va., president of The Building Association of U.B.F. & S.M.T.; Mrs. Sallie Stewart, formerly of Danville, Va., treasurer; Chas Satchell Morris, Jr., the well known boy orator of Norfolk, Va., who is now attending the University of Chicago will deliver the principal address. Other Virginians who are expected to be present and take a part are Hon. Louis B. Anderson, Alderman of the Second Ward and Council floor leader for William H. Thompson; Mr. Julius F. Taylor, editor of The Chicago Broad Ax; Col. John R. Marshall, vice-president of The Binga State Bank. A public installation and program is being prepared to be held during March at which time these speakers will appear. Virginians throughout the city and state will be invited to be present upon this occasion. has done services that are invaluable may it longer life, longer grow to fulfill yet greater and more gladstone things in Negro life. A huge club in the life of the Negro would determine for us much that is wanting. A well organized and a well governed club would give the Negro race a setting in the South Side that it has long needed. We are a peculiar race. We do not very well fit into the fittest things, nor do we understand, nor take the trouble to acquaint ourselves with the fitness of things. In some of our Lodges we have the janitor worshipful master over the man he works for. In the club where there are bankers, lawyers, doctors, eminent divines, insurance officials, and wealthy real estate holders and large tax payers it would be only fit that men of affairs and worthy social ambition should play the leading part. There were a great many screws loose in the running gear of our social mechanism and we need to facilitate the process speedily and restore Chicago especially as the social life applies to the Negro, to its rightful place. For intelligence, wealth and general wellbeing, no city in the United States can furnish an equal condition, on any where near the situation enjoyed by our Negro elements in Chicago. How can one club serve the vast needs socially for two hundred thousand people? The question is too grotesque for sensible consideration. The idea is to organize the new club on a vast scale, greater and more colossal than we use to see, or ever hoped to accomplish. Fifty of Chicago's wealthiest Negroes are already pledged to foster its interests, and use their influence to make it the greatest Negro club in the world. The first year the membership will be limited to two hundred. MAKING A MOUNTAIN OUT OF A MOLEHILL By Dr. M. A. Majors The subject is fairly pertinent and fairly meets the casual remark of the irresponsible individual. Guarding well thy tongue is an injunction from heaven and yet we find the devil himself running a monopoly and his emissaries getting fat and fashionable. Condemning others without trial, stimulating under gossip, and frothing at the mouth in gladsome hilarity over someone's misfortune, or growing anxious in gladsome fury portrays the Jowest kind of human nature. A nature for which hell itself was spewed up to aggravate. Believing a lie, or having one's mind sharpened to receive the poison of a lie, is almost swallowing the dregs from bell and is no more Christian than a purveyor of pole cat fumes is a satyrical monkey. If you had a decent mind you could sometimes think of truth. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, January 28, 1922 Trachoma is a highly infectious disease of the eyes. It usually begins with slight redness and a watery discharge. Even in this stage it is very easily carried from one person to another by means of roller towels, wash cloths, handkerchiefs, bed clothing and things which are commonly touched in public, such as railings, door knobs, street car straps, etc. Once started it becomes a great danger to the eyesight because the eyelids turn in on the eyeball, the eye ulcerates, and a sort of "scum" clouds the vision. Although it starts slowly, when not properly treated it lasts for years. At first there may be but little pain only a feeling as though something were under the lid, scratching the eye The eye waters and gets a little red If promptly and properly treated at this stage, a complete cure is possible. But if neglected, it soon will so blind the patient that he cannot do any work and he becomes a danger to other-people. Ulceration follows and causes total blindness and even then severe pain sometimes makes it necessary to remove the eye. On the other hand, the eyes improve so much after a few treatments that the patient, feeling relieved, thinks it is safe to stop his visits to the doctor; this is very unwise because the trouble may recur without notice to him and then it may be very hard to save his eyes. Treatment should never be stopped until the doctor says there is no further danger. Do not neglect any case of sore eyes. If any of the symptoms appear, such as redness or watering, consult your doctor without delay; and most important of all, do not stop the treatment until he tells you it is safe for you to do so. WHY NOT? Build against the rat by rat-proof construction of all buildings usually infested with these dangerous and destructive pests? Wage an unrelenting war of extermination by trapping and poisoning against our present rat population? Starve out the rat population by keeping all foodstuffs out of their reach, including garbage and food refuse of every kind? * * * The person who submits to vaccination is free to go and come as he likes. The person who refuses to avail himself of this protection and "catches" smallpox is subject to forcible detention and quarantine for a month or more in order to protect the public. Vaccination is, therefore, less of an interference with one's personal liberty than is quarantine. In addition the vaccinated person doesn't have smallpox. --- Dr. Kenelm Winslow in his treatise, "The Prevention of Disease," says, "It might at first sight appear disheartening to find many persons and seets still actively opposing vaccination for smallpox after considerably more than a century's absolute proof of its efficacy." Tuberculosis is a house disease, using the word house to include our homes and work places. Bad housing conditions breed this disease. Outdoor workers, who are properly housed and fed, rarely have consumption; fresh air and sunlight are its natural foes. PHYLLIIS WHEATLEY HOME 3256 Rhodes Avenue The Board of Directors and the Board of Managers held a joint meeting last Tuesday. Monthly reports were read and plans were devised for the big pre-lenten Charity affair to be given next month. Miss Jennie E. Laurence is the very efficient General Chairman.

Wabash Ave. The bi-monthly meeting of the Phyllis Wheatley Woman's Club Wednesday, Jan. 18 was one of the largest of the club season. Mrs. Roxana Brown told of the splendid work done by the Charity Club for the Girls' Protection Home of DesMoines, Iowa, founded by her sister, Mrs. Gertrude Dunden Rush, a successful lawyer of that city. Mrs. Lyda Stewart spoke of the lowered standard of the Wendell Phillips High School, and urged all parents who had children enrolled there to insist that they get all the benefits provided for in the curriculum of any other high school in the city. Mrs. Araminta Thomas rendered the musical selections. Mrs. Lola Y. Downs, President of the Julia Gaston Club, Evanaton, and Mr. R. L. Jackson, were among the visitors.

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. "THE WINGS OF OPPRESSION." By Leslie Pinckney Hill. Published by The Stratford Company, Boston, Mass. Price $2.00—postage 15 cents extra. Back in the days of controversy concerning Industrial versus College Education the Independent published a sonnet entitled "Tuskegee." It was perfect in form, descriptive of the labor of the dusky toilers at engine and anvil, asking what the end of their toil would bring. It concluded with this sextet: "Dear God, we dare not answer, we can see Not many steps ahead, but this we know— know- If all our toilsome building is in vain, Availing not to set our manhood free, If envious hate roots out the seed we sow, The South will wear eternally a stain." Recognition of the beauty of the sonnet was at once expressed from many sources and Leslie Pinckney Hill took his place as an American poet. Since then it has been a disappointment to his admirers that economic determinism, as we love to call the need of earning a living, has made his output very small. At last however we have a volume of his poems, 68 in all, that is a source of satisfaction to those who have been impatiently waiting to hear more from this Negro poet. As would be expected from the author of "Tuskegee," some of the poems in the volume are taken up with the wrongs of the Negro in America, among them Lynching, A Jim Crow Resaturant, The Jim Crow Car. The Jim Crow Car ends with these delightful lines: "In lofty mood I mount the reeking box, And travel through the land. So Terence once Moved Espon in old Greece, the dwarf and dunce. Then I reflect how their immortal wit Makes the world laugh with mockery of it." But the poet's sympathies are wider than his own race. "Who are my brothers?" he asks, "only those who wear my own complexion swart?" and answers: "Ah no, but all through whom there flows The blood-stream of a manly heart." And so we have a tribute to Lord Mayor MacSwiney who died for Ireland, to Clemanceu, to Katerina Breshkovskaya and others. Perhaps most lovely in its human touch is the sonnet. Mr. Hill inclines to the sonnet form, on The Borglum Statue of Lincoln. There are poems, however, in the volume written without reference to race or national conflict, love songs, poems of the spirit. There are bits Paper, "The Colored Nurse in the South," Miss Lucinda M. Allen. Complimentary remarks were made by several of the large audience present. The home is growing in interest and popularity under the diplomatic administration of Mrs. Lorena Mitchell, our genial Superintendent, who so thoroughly understands the phychology of girls. She is making a delightfully real and happy home for the stranger girl. The home is filled to capacity with a waiting list. Miss Lucinla Dobson and Miss Jennie Johnson, who have been on the sick list are improving. Miss Lucinda M. Allen, formerly a Public health nurse of Birmingham, Alabama entered the ranks of Civil Service applicants recently. The first quarterly meeting of the home for this year was held Thursday, Jan. 26, all regular associate members and friends were urged to be present at 3 p. m. The 2nd Ward Branch of the Woman's City Club listened with enthusiastic interest to Mrs. W. F. Dodd, whose subject was "Should Our Representation in the General Assembly be Limited?" Reports from the various Chairmen were read. Refreshments were served. Clara Johnson, President. Fannie B. Willilams, Cor. Sec. Phyllis Wheatley Home. GRATEFUL TO FRIENDS Col. J. W.

And this from an Alpine scene: "Upon your ear shall sound the clear flute note Of dripping water, or the happier tone Of slender streams that leap from bolder walls Singing of freedom from the tyrant ice." The first four lines of "Boys Swimming," "Little lads swimming in a running stream," recalls Sorello's wonderful picture at the Metropolitan Museum in New York. But the last four lines leaves the realm of the artist and show the preacher who must point a moral to the picture that he paints. This touch of the preacher in so much that Mr. Hill writes will endear him to some and to others make his poetry appear over didactic. His fault, if fault it is, is an old fashioned one and until recently has been found in nearly all our American poetry. Poe, whom America failed to appreciate, was free from it, but the most of the poets of the last century, Bryant, Emerson, Lowell, Longfellow, Whittier, were preachers, turning the moral, sometimes tritely, sometimes with magnificent beauty and conviction. But moralize they must. So in "The Wings of Oppression, as the name indicates, we hear in pleasant cadences that through the chastening of sorrow, through oppression, we shall mount upon wings to better and higher things. Strongly religious in its tone, it ends with a poem of confidence and yet of true humility which I cannot refrain from quoting entire. THE TEACHER Lord, who am I to teach the way To little children day by day, So prone myself to go astray? I teach them knowledge, but I know How faint they flicker and how low The candles of my knowledge glow. I teach them power to will and do, But only now to learn anew My own great weakness through and through. I teach them love for all mankind And all God's creatures, but to find My love comes lagging far behind. Lord, if their guide I still must be, Oh let the little children see The teacher leaning hard on Thee. CHILD LABOR DAY The return of Child Labor Day, observed annually on the last Sunday of January, calls attention to the conditions surrounding the child worker on the farm, as shown in studies recently made by the United States Department of Labor through the Children's Bureau. In sections of the Texas cotton belt included in these studies, young children work at hoeing and chopping the cotton, and even at heavier kinds of field work, such as plowing, harrowing and cultivating. Practically every child ten years of age or over in the section studied was employed in the fields at some time during the year; ten hours or more was the average working day, during the season, reported for more than half the children, and many reported an average working day of twelve hours or even longer. Although most of the children worked only a few months, much of the work falls at a time when school is in session. Teachers reported that a half or third of the children who should have been in school by September did not register until November or later. Illiteracy on the part of father or mother or both was reported for 7 to 9 per cent of the white families and about a third of the colored families visited. Many of the coming generation will be likewise handicapped if field work continues to keep them out of school. BETTER Mmc. E. M.

THE CALL OF DOUGLASS Nation-Wide Observance Urged to Signalise Anniversaries of Douglass and Attucks in Spirit of Douglass' Efforts for His Race and Rights. (Special to The Broad Ax) Boston, Mass.—The National Equal Rights League from its national headquarters, at 34 Cornhill opposite the spot from which Chrispus Attucks set out for the Red Coats March 5, 1770, has issued the following appeal on the coming anniversaries of Douglass and Attucks. An Appeal to Colored America for Race Action Fraternal Greetings to our Colored American Group at the unfolding of the new year from the National Equal Rights League of the U. S. A., which makes heart appeal to all brothers and sisters, prescribed for color to start anew sturdy, internal concert of action for full American rights. January is the month when our status became persons and not property. February when a great freedom champion was born to us, March when our race produced a martyr for creation of this very Republic. Manumitted now three score years less one, even then as soldiers saving the Government, let us resolve that we whose blood was first to flow to found here a nation shall not be the only group denied public rights at least through a lack of our own. Douglass Day, February 14, and Attucks Day, March 5, afford the present opportunity. Colored Americans cannot win, or deserve to win, against this contempt on our race if we are blind to history and ourselves fail to meet the requirements for success. Frederick Douglass set the example. Starting his agitation under the noble white Abolitionists, he later struck out to wage a Colored man's crusade for the freedom of the colored race, from Rochester, N. Y. to London. He saw the law of success, "Those who would be free themselves must strike a blow." White friends objected, but it proved to be the strength for our cause, a Garrison Movement for the enslaved, a Douglass Movement by and for the enslaved, giving added prestige to the race. The Equal Rights League, therefore suggests to the race and urges public observance everywhere of the 115th Anniversary of Douglass' birthday on his great principle of ourselves striking a blow. This can be done by celebrations under Colored committees which on that occasion or thereafter become permanent Colored organizations for self-defense of rights in the spirit of Douglass, branches of the National Equal Rights League. This nationaI race organization, oldest in the field, was formed to enable the race to have what every other race already has in full force except our own, a nation-wide race agency. These local bodies in communication with the League's national headquarters will enable us to "Ourselves Strike a Blow." Thus will Douglass be truly honored Feb. 14, and permanent bodies formed which will not hinder or interfere with any other organizations, doing what others do not do, carrying out measures, suggested by National headquarters, and especially observing the anniversaries of Crispus Attuckes, March 5, Peter Salem, April 19, Fort Wagner, July 18, and so on.

KU KLUX BARS CHARLES GIL PIN FROM THE SOUTH New York.The tour of Charles Gilpin, the colored actor, has been abandoned, so far as the south is concerned, 'temporarily at least. Adolph Klauber, under whose management Gilpin was playing in "The Emperor Jones," sent him into Virginia and had planned to send him further south. In Richmond the show did well and it began to appear the south would overlook the fact that Gilpin is a colored man. But now Broadway hears a quick change in plans came about. A letter with a Ku Klux Klan signature was received by Gilpin while in Virginia. It advised him not to attempt to continue in the south with his company, which contains a number of white players. It was then that the route was changed and the troupe is now in Ohio. The above simply shows that at least many of the whites in the south will have nothing to do with any colored man if he attempts to aspire to anything above a common bootblack.—Editor.

STEWART HAS BEEN PREACHING SOME DOWN SOUTH Galveston, Texas—Baptist ministers are at last waking up to the necessity of improving the social conditions under which their members live as well as preparing them for the life to come. Dr. Charles Stewart of Chicago, general missionary of the National Baptist convention, spoke along this line at the Macedonia Baptist church here. Dr. Stewart said in part that too many Negroes die early, that is, before they are 50 years old. There is no good reason why they should not live until their allotted 70 years have passed. "It is time to quit dying and live put on the brakes, call a halt; for every human being should live three score and ten years, the time which God has given and then by so preserving the laws of health add on a few more years. We are going to stop preaching so much about heaven and gold paved streets and slippers and wings, and talk a little about earth, the mud-paved streets and how to get through the sand. We want to know a little more how to live and a little less how to die. Living is the essential and right living at that." A COLORED WOMAN WINS AGAINST JIM CROW CARS Little Rock, Ark—Mrs. Virginia D. Sutton, Colored of Chicago, was given judgment for $50 by a jury in Third Division Circuit Court a few days ago in a suit for compensatory damages brought against the Missouri Pacific Railway. According to the testimony, the woman bought a ticket to Little Rock and boarded the train at Jacksonville, Fla. She alleged that the conductor required her to ride in the Negro smoking car as the Negro passenger coach was filled and that when she refused to do so, the train was stopped and she was put off. The original suit was for $3,000. There was some comment among the residents here as this is the first case where a colored person has won a suit in this section against jimcrow car methods. SIX IN COLORED ORCHESTRA FLOGGED BY FLORIDA MOB Miami, Fla.—Six members of Howard's "Whispering Orchestra of Gold" of Columbus, O., colored men, which has been playing at a local hotel were taken to the outskirts of the city early Wednesday morning, severely beaten by a band of men and told to leave within twenty-four hours. The leader of the orchestra early on Wednesday evening received a telephone call asking him to play at the new country home of "Mr. Sams." At midnight a car called for them at the hotel. Five miles outside the city it was surrounded by a band of about seventy-five men and the flogging followed. All the white gentlemen in the South may be the best friends of the colored people, but we doubt it—Editor. ECHO FROM EVANSVILLE, IND The first of this year a petition was circulated asking Mayor Bosse to discharge the Negro patrolmen on the police force. More than 3,000 citizens are reported to have signed the petition. There are only three Negro patrolmen on the force and one of these is accused of having a police record in Henderson, Kentucky. Mayor Bosse promised the petitioners a thorough investigation but said the Negro police were appointed in recognition of the service rendered by Negroes in the world war.

' ‘Real expression of Paris is found in the restaurant frock, And this is the tive of year when designers over ere ore bending the best of thelr ef- forts to create dresses of such charac: ter. Then, observes a fashion writer in the New York Times, while we in ‘America do not go ip for the restaur- ‘ut frock as such, still we have a dis- tinct predisposition to a dress of this type. and it is from those models for Parisian restaurant Wife that we take many of the ideas which carry us into pore particularized American crea- tons, The dresses, in fact, which are peng worn now in Paris are those tt pebooves us to watch from this side of the Atlantic, 1 we wish to be any- where in touch with fashions as they proceed along thelr varied ways, ‘Bot the restaurant dresses that are ves just now are the loveliest, it eens, Which have ever been made. They are simpler even than the sim- Nest of day-time frocks, but they have fet distinetion of cut and line and fatrie which marks them for leaders fp thelr own generation. Most of the @wing has disappeared; uneven yeas except those very much re- wuzed, are taboo, and altogether the tet of the fresher dresses of this sort lave resolved themselves into quite cassic affairs. Quite interesting are the newest of the dresses from three of the leading Parisian couturiers. ‘They are Jenny, Poiret and Premet, each of whom is entitled to @ distinct command for fashion as it exists and shall exist. All the waistiines are as long as is consist. eat with a picturesque effect. The material is the only real consideration shout the gowns, and, while the skirts are long, they are not unduly so, to instigate a riot in the camp of those who hate to see the skirts of dresses drop too far. Sparkles With Brilliancy. Jenny's dress 1s made of black crepe. The French call it “crepe morocain noir.” It is then trimmed with the slightest tracery of beads in silver and gray. It might, upon this description be called dull, but only by one who did not know the art of a French designer. ‘Those clever ones—and especially Jenny—can make black and gray and silver shine until they glow with color ‘and that with only the merest bit of 1 patiern of trimming with which tc create a contrast. * ‘The bodice of this frock is typical of ‘© many of the newer waists.

The bigness of the sleeves is only am excuse for giving actual grace and line to that portion of the freck, and the sleeves are a center of the design of the costume as a whole. Around New York just recently « great many @resses of this general character have been noted. They were mostly made of a dull and heavy crepe. or of a shiny black satin of one of the standard and reliable weaves. But the sleeves are always very big and floppy, and they manage to give ® grace te ‘the costume which Is distinctly pew cee Ton ton noted, 16 Somme ———— Photography. .

But bere have been seen frocks made in the most brilliant of colored crepes ‘and satins, which have held their place along with the general throng in a quite remarkable way. ‘Colors Much More in Vogue. ‘The Inter news from Paris says that colors are much more in vogue than they have been in the recent past. But im New York, wherever well-dressed ‘women are gathered together, there is © surprising preponderance of black. oa Reda ih t pan It hs aS ; i i a EY ny KOA MURS Sevag Coy (a OY a? i Creation in Ivory and Metal Brocade. ‘During the last few weeks one has goted some exception to this general rule in the way of all-white frocks seen op many of the younger girls of the theater and dances. But, as a rule, these frocks are made along plain and simple lines, just as their black sisters, and they take the tone of their gen- eral effect from their harmony with the personality of the wearer. , Often a white dress on a very ac centuated brunette type will create the most vividly colorful effect. And again the all-black costume on a girl whose hair and complexion are a light blonde are the things which make every beholder sit up and take par- ticular notice. Premet's gown is made from a combination of black satin and ‘a vivid blue chiffon, upon which foun- dation are sewn black jet cabochons in ‘a regularity of pattern which is most charming. ‘Again the waistline is long, without being too unwieldy In its general pro portions, and again the design and con- struction of the frock are so simple that they seem to defy competition ip that particular direction. The black satin is so arranged that it seems to make the foundation gown, but noth- ing of that sort has really happened. ‘The two materials are so blended that, between them, they make a pattern ‘and a clever combination that seems destined to make the gown which shall be the most successful of the season. From this gown it will be seen that ‘no particular accent has been put up- on the waistline. At that point « ‘simple fold of the material has been the sole claimant to distinction, and it has succeeded in preserving the straight line of the gown with perfect effect. Draping Is Interesting. ‘The draping of strings of jet Jewels is the interesting feature trimming of this gown of Premet's.

BUTTONS SERVE AS TRIMMING Demand '¢ Heavy for New Idea in Decoration for Gowns; Wonder. ‘ful Effects Obtained. In recent years we have beard and ‘seen little ‘of buttons. Their use has Deen confined to utilitarian purposes. ‘Now, observes a fashion writer, makers ‘are ‘exploiting them as trimming. Wonderful effects can be obtained through buttons, and when the at- tention of the fashionably dressed is turned toward them a great demand Is created which gives designers in this fielg an incentive te work out new effects. ‘No doubt, the recent vogue for ‘enameled novelties is accountable for the beautiful enameled buttons that ornament many of the new model gowns. Entire girdles are made of buttons that are either painted or enameled. For suits velours de laine, serge, broadcloth and gabardine are favorite ‘materials. Maroon or chestnut brown ts exceedingly popular. Of course, there is the sober black sult, but this often is enlivened by a bit of color in the form of embroidery oF narrow trimming bands of a contrast- ing bright colored material.

Sometimes the skirt section is circular in, cut to give this graceful flare; and sometimes V- shaped sections are set In at the sides. ‘A stunning topcoat is of cashmere radt- ant, a beautiful new coat fabric of soft, silky texture, In the new Malay brown shade. Circular sections are set in to give a saucy swing and flare to the coat below the belt, but the up- “per part 1s slightly fitted by darts and ‘the coat sleeves, though loose, fit smoothly.

Poetry at the Graveside. A new style of professional mourn er has appeared in Paris where at the end of the ceremony at the grave he steps up and asks permission to say & last word. No objection being made he recites a plece of suitable poetry with suppressed emotion and when the party is leaving the cemetery he is found waiting at the gate and inti- mates that a gift would be acceptable, which Is generally forthcoming. De Net Reach fer the Meen. Paychological science apparently has exploded the good old notion that “pables will reach for the moon.” Dr. John B. Watson states in the Scientifie Monthly that when actually put to the test they will watch attentively any- thing they see moving, no matter what its distance, but that they will not reach for It until it is within 20 inches of them. Love's Tragic Path. ‘When I was sixteen I met a hand some youth two years my senior. I cared for him and, apparently, he cared for me. At this age [ was very sensitive and shed tears over every Uttle thing, and once in 2 while over things he said. For my birthday I received a package which I knew was from bim because of his handwriting. Tran to my room to open it, and whem I did, what did I behold but an onion placed in the middie of a square box with a card saying “Now cry.” I did, but not from the effects of the onion, but of broken heart. That was enough.—Exchange. Rebv'e Bia Clear. A traveler in South America writes; “So far as we observed, the landlord's four-year-old daughter hed not ac- quired a taste for rum, but she had already laid the foundation of a habit which Colombian women, at least the rank and file, have acquired In aé vance of thelr northern sisters. Sit- ting cross-legged on a bench chatter. ing baby-talk, she contentediy smoked fa large black cigar, around or partly around which her tiny forefinger coiled in stereotyped form. Her moth- fer gave her a light and seemed um felgnedly proud of her offspring’s a¢ complishment. Porteous Riots. The Scotch Porteous riots were oc easioned by the hanging of a smug- ‘gler named Wilson at Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1738. Captain Porteous, of the City Guard, ordered his mes to fire on the rioters, several of whom were killed. Condemned to death, Por- teous was respited by the government but was seized by the populace an¢ hanged. The Lord Provost of Edin burgh was declared incapable of furth er holding office, and the city was compelled to pay £1,500 to Perteons Well-Populated “Villages.” ‘The distribution of the population ef Chine is a curious thing to com template, says Eleanor Franklin Bgan, inthe Saturday Evening Post. A hundred thousand people may be gathered together within what might rightly be regarded as city limits, but on the map their city will be indicated as a mere village that is not worth considering. Moreover, they will not have established a single feature of city organization. Villages of 100,000 inhabitants are rather dificult to vis ualize, but they exist in China. ‘A Bostonian Lesson.

Safety First. ‘Johnny, only three years old, was be Ing entertained with some music om the phonograph. He was told by his aunty that he would soon hear a bear growl. Johnny looked very much frightened, and then whispered: “OB, Aunty, don't open dose doors on de Wicktowla or bear might tum out.” —Chicago Herald and Examiner. Much in a Name. A rose by any other name may smell as sweet, but—there is a lovely rambler rose known as “Lady Gay.” This flower was originally named “Amelia Jenkins,” but no one bought tt or troubled to cultivate it. Under Its new name it has met with wide popularity. In Honor of 2 Dance. Our biggest spider is the Texas Ta rantula; and unless one has especially looked the matter up, says the Amerl can Forestry Magazine, few there are that could guess how the spiders called tarantulas ever had had such ‘a name bestowed upon them; least of all would it be suspected that the name was derived from a dance. shoo The Prattie of Children. -— Four-yearold John W., when visib ing his grandparents, was taken te Sunday school. ‘The lesson of the day ‘was the ever interesting story of “Dame fel in the Lion's Den” and the teacher presented it in a manner to keep the interest of all the children. Bat dur ing one of the intervals John W. spoke up, saying, “Yes, and I saw six little pigs at the very same circus.” Rtehe Affects Weed, ‘There is a figure which may Se Drought out prominently in certals Kinds of woods, mostly those of trop feal origin, says the American For- estry Magazine. This is variously known as roe, ribbon grain, feather grain, etc, and appears as narrow te broad longitudinal stripes, alternating Wight and dark. This is due, not to actual differences in color, but to the way in which the light is reflected by the different layers. Living Room Important. 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 @ voyage of discovery.” This room should be furnished with thought for the need and comfort of each individual mem ber of the family. Give to the master of the household 2 comfortable fireside chair, a table beside that chair om which he can place a paper, magazine, dook or any other things that he may wish there; give him his own reading lamp and 2 comfortable stool in froat ‘of bis chair.
