The Broad Ax

Col. William Bottoms, Part Owner of the Dreamland Cafe, Located on State Street, South of Thirty-fifth, Has Instituted Suit In The Superior Court of Cook County For Ten Thousand Dollars Against Col. Jack Johnson, the Far Famed Ex-Heavyweight Champion Prize Fighter of The World. Read The Broad Ax and be happy VOL. XXVII. Col. Will Located tuted Su Ten Th Far Fam The Wo It will be recalled that when Col. Jack Johnson, the former celebrated heavyweight champion prizefighter of the world, emerged from the Federal prison at Leavenworth, Kans., last summer that Col. Johnson made a bee line for Chicago, his former home, and old State Street, which he had been longing to see ever since he made his famous flight, or "getaway," from it in 1913. On the day of his arrival in his old home town, largely attended receptions were held in his honor at the Dreamland Cafe, 3520 South State Street, which were attended by all the leading white and colored sports in this big town, both men and women, and Col. Bottoms raked in the money right and left for all kinds of drinks from those who were greatly delighted to greet Col. Johnson. For a short time Col. Johnson gave boxing or sparring exhibitions in the basement of the Dreamland; in short, he made it his headquarters, and some of his friends labored under the impression that he had laid down ten or fifteen thousand dollars on the table and had become part owner in the Dreamland, but it seems that such was not the case. Col. Johnson did not remain in this city more than two weeks after he had struck it from the penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kans., in 1921, and from here he moved on to New York City where he made his eastern headquarters. For everything seems to indicate that old State Street had lost all of its former charms for him and he had no further longing to race up and BISHOP BRATTON WILL SPEAK AT HAMPTON INSTITUTE ANNIVERSARY Hampton, Va.—The Rt. Rev. Theodore DuBose Bratton, Bishop of Mississippi since 1903, delivered the principal address at the anniversary exercises, which were held in Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute, yesterday afternoon. The Institute was founded in 1868 by Gen. Samuel Chapman Armstrong. The Hon. William Howard Taft, Chief Justice of the United States. president of the Hampton Institute Board of Trustees, will present the candidates for diplomas. A special party, under the leadership of Alexander B. Trowbridge of New York, who is a Hampton trustee, will arrive at Old Point Comfort on Wednesday evening. On Thursday afternoon the new athletic field, which is the gift of the Hampton Institute graduates and former students, was presented to the Hampton Institute Board of Trustees and accepted by Mr. Taft. This presentation was followed by a May-Day program and by an evening concert in Ogden Hall. At the Friday afternoon exercises, commencing at 2:30, there were addresses and demonstrations by members of the class of 1922. The Hampton student speakers and demonstrators included R. Wilson Howe of Wilmington, N. C., "The Message of Negro Music"; Clara E. Majors, Lynchburg, Va., "The Preservation of Milk"; Walter L. Webb, Seneca, S. C.; Joshua W. Williams, Lightfoot, Va.; James A. Harris, Hope, Ark., "The Farm-demonstration Agent at Work"; Florence L. Wilson, Hampton, Va., "Making a Shirtwaist"; and Mabie M. Stephen, Remington, Va., "Art Applied to Homemaking." THE BROAD AX down it at break neck speed in his fast racing machine, running over anyone who would happen to get in his way, and then coldly inform them that they had no business to get in the way of Col. Jack Johnson's fast racing machine. So Coll. Johnson did not show up in Chicago from the time that he walked out of the pen at Leavenworth last July until last week when he appeared at the Avenue Theater with his All-Star Vaudeville Company. Then Col. Bottoms got real busy and he started suit against Col. Johnson in the Superior Court of Cook County for ten thousand dollars. Col. Bottoms sets up in his bill that he loaned Col. Johnson the one thousand dollars to pay his fine and from time to time he had advanced him other sums of money. All of the foregoing plainly indicates that Col. Johnson was dead broke when he landed out of the Leavenworth Penitentiary in 1921, and that he has not been making any big money since that time or that he is up to his old tricks of double crossing his best or truest friends. Evidently he must be real short of money, for the Chicago defender, which for a long time loudly sounded his praises to beat the band, has not run his big three-column newspaper cut on its front page but once since he was released from the Federal prison at Leavenworth, Kansas. Even last week the great Chicago defender did not devote one bit of free space to inform its many millions of readers that Col. Jack Johnson was showing up in Chicago. HUGHES REFUSES HAITI'S PLEA TO RECALL MARINES Washington, D. C.-Secretary of State Hughes has informed a delegation who called upon him at the State Department to demand the immediate withdrawal of American troops from Haiti that their presentation of their case was "most inadequate and one sided." The situation, Mr. Hughes declared, called for "a careful study and a very wise examination and decision as to policy," and that the delegation would be mistaken if it assumed that a study had not been made by the administration. Has Good Informants "I am not only advised intimately and directly with regard to conditions in Haiti," said the Secretary of State, "but I also have had the benefit of the reports and informal communications from the committee of senators who have recently visited Haiti and who, regardless of party affiliation, have concurred in the statements which they have made regarding conditions there. "This government is considering all that is essential for the tranquillity and well being of the people of Haiti, and, of course, we are most desirous that the military occupation shall end just as soon as it can properly end." Senator Owen for Haitians Senator Robert L. Owen. (Okla.), representing the National Popular Government League, in presenting the demands, declared that in occupying Haiti by force the United States is violating the Monroe Doctrine and is playing the proxor oppressor to a weak people. The occupation of Haiti, he declared, is a violation of the principles of the Washington conference, of the four power pact, and of our own national constitution.

CITIZENS TO PETITION LODGE FOR ACTION ON DYER BILL On Grant Centenary Night Ask Republican Leader of Senate to Make a Party Measure of Bill Promised in Republican Platform. Boston, Mass.—From the rostrum of historic Charles Street A. M. E. Church, on the Centenary Night of the birth of Ulysses S. Grant, Union commander and president-friend of the colored race, and executor of the Constitution, the Greater Boston Branch of the National Equal Rights League launched a movement to promote a signed petition to U. S. Senator H. C. Lodge of Massachusetts, in his capacity as Republican leader of the Senate, to have the Republican party espouse the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, and thus secure action and get the bill out of committee. Congressman Dyer, in a recent speech to the Boston N. A. A. C. P., had declared the colored people could do more for passage of the bill than those of any other state, because the Senate leader is from Massachusetts and comes up for re-election this year. He repeated this to the national secretary of the league, and Mr. Trotter framed the petition which is being circulated for signatures all over the state. The league's resolve for the Dyer Bill in the Massachusetts Legislature brought a strong editorial for the bill in the Boston American and all the Hearst newspapers. This resolve is up for final action on Wednesday and will also spur Lodge to action. SATURDAY, MAY 6, 1922. art Owner , South o erior Cou Against eight Cha HON. ROBERT R.

HUCK WINS, OFFICIAL COUNT OF VOTES SHOWS Compilation of the official Cook County figures and the unofficial down-state figures of the votes cast at the recent primary indicate that Mrs. Winifred Mason Huck has won the Republican nomination for the congressman at large vacancy caused by the death of her father, William E. Mason, by a scant 2,000 votes. Her closest competitor is Stephen A. Day of Evanston, and not John J. Brown of Vandalia. **Brown Was Thought Favorite** The figures disclose an interesting situation, as Day has never been conceded a chance, the race, according to dopesters, being between Mrs. Huck, with a heavy Cook County vote, and Brown, with a heavy down-state vote. While it was thought that the down-state vote of Brown might defeat Mrs. Huck, it was really her down-state vote which puts her in the lead over Day. Several Counties Not Yet In Official figures of the Cook County vote, compiled in the offices of the county clerk and the board of election commissioners, give Mrs. Huck, 66,357; Day, 78,125, and Brown, 33,736. Downstate figures, with several counties still to be heard from, but whose figures will not change the result, show Mrs. Huck with 85,429; Day, 71,615, and Brown, 102,953.

SOUTH STATE STREET BUSI NESS MEN LINEUP BEHIND DRIVE The Urban League Campaign for $10,000 in ten days was launched with great enthusiasm at a dinner meeting of campaign workers at the South Side Community House, 3201 South Wabash Avenue, Wednesday night. The meeting was addressed by Mrs. Kellogg Fairbank, a prominent society and club woman, and Mrs. Charles W. Folds, president of the United Charities. These speakers, along with Professor Lee, who is directing the campaign, put plenty of "pep" into the workers, and made them so enthusiastic that the success of the campaign is assured even before the big solicitation begins. The general plan of the campaign is to have several teams under captains. These teams will take definite neighborhoods or occupations or types of business and each will concentrate on his particular goal. The people of Chicago will respond liberally to these efforts because they know that the work of the Urban League has served a real need in Chicago. It has converted the most skeptical to believe in its efficiency and in the services which it renders. The Urban League serves Chicago every day, and in many ways. In the ten days, May 4 to 13, the people of Chicago, by their dollars and their services, will assure the Urban League another year of necessary social service. NEGRO RIDERS OF RENOWN. GREAT JOCKEYS OF COLOR IN ACTION THIRTY YEARS AGO. ISAAC MURPHY'S KEEN ABILITY SIMMS, HAMILTON, BARNES, OVERTON, CLAYTON AND OTHER STARS. THE STORY APPEARING IN THE "CHICAGO DEFENDER" RECENTLY IN RELATION TO WILLIAM SIMMS, THE OLD TIME RACE HORSE JOCKEY, HITTING THE DOPE PIPE AND BEING ARRESTED IN THIS CITY AND SENT TO THE BRIDEWELL WAS FALSE FROM BE GINNING TO END. Almost as great a mystery as the total disappearance of the passenger pigeon is the almost total disappearance of the colored jockey from American racing. It is almost as difficult to account for one as the other. It is true that a few are still riding but their number can be counted on the fingers of a hand. So short a time as thirty years back the case was entirely different. Numerically the colored riders, especially in the West, held their own well with their white rivals. In respect to skill in the saddle the best of them had nothing to ask from the white riders. Also they worked in harmony together. If there was racial feeling it was repressed and had little, if any, public manifestation. First and foremost among the colored riders of that time was Isaac Murphy. In no country or at any time was there ever his superior in the arts of exquisite horsemanship. As a judge of pace he was a marvel. It was related of him that on an occasion Mr. Haggin asked him to work Ban Fox three-quarters in close to 1:14. So literally did he follow his instructions that he worked the famous colt in exactly 1:14, several expert timers agreeing on the time made. He had an almost uncanny knowledge of what his own horse was doing under him in a race and of what the other horses were doing under their riders. He was a powerful finisher when it was required and took especial delight in drawing a finish so fine as to win by inches when he could have won off. Isaac Murphy's Riding Prowess Isaac's name is deeply indented in the history of the most valuable races of his time. He won four of the first five American Derbys on Modesty, Silver Cloud, Volante and Emperor of Norfolk. He won the Kentucky Derby on Buchanan, Riley and Kingman. He won the first Latonia Derby on Leonatus; the third, fourth and fifth Latonia Derbys on Bersau, Silver Cloud and Libretto and the ninth on Kingman. At one time and another he won most of the important eastern stake races. Isaac was of polite and pleasing manners and immensely popular with the patrons of the turf—East and West. His like we have never had since. Riding at the same time was John Stoval, a happy-go-lucky customer, but a rider of great skill and, especially, wonderfully effective in whirlwind finishes through the stretch. He was an artist in reserving a mount for an unexpected last rush. "Pike" Barnes was younger than Murphy and Stoval, but became well known as a remarkably skillful rider 5 CENTS per copy and Cafe, Las Insti- nty For son, the ighter of F RENOWN.

It was Barnes who guided Proctor Knott to victory over Salvator and Galen in the first Futurity. The major part of his riding was done over western tracks, but besides that Futurity he won the Brooklyn Derby and Belmont Stakes with Burlington, the Brooklyn Handicap with tenny, as well as many of the less famous eastern stake races. So he was well known to eastern racing folks and had his followers there. Alonzo (Lonnie) Clayton was one of the great jockeys. As handsome as a Raphael cherub and a little gentleman in deportment, this rider was in favor East and West, and properly so. In all the elements of high-class jockeyship he may be ranked next to Isaac Murphy without in the least disparaging the claims of other noted colored riders to that fame. Clayton seemed to be gifted with that instinctive "feel" of his horses which told whether a waiting policy or an instant sprint for the lead was most conducive to success. "Lonnie" Clayton was not one of the elect who could boast of having won an American Derby, but won the Kentucky Derby with Azra and the Latonia Derby with Newton and Ornament, the St. Louis Derby with Ornament and the Suburban Handicap with Tillo. Simms, Hamilton and Others W. Simms was another capital colored rider. He succeeded James McLaughlin when that grand jockey became too heavy to ride for Dwyer Bros., and stood in the front rank of American jockeys for some years. Riding for such a powerful stable it was but natural that he should achieve many triumphs in the great stake races of his day. In the main his riding was confined to the eastern tracks, but he traveled West with the great little horse, Ben Brush, and with him won the Kentucky and Latonia Derbys, but struck a snag in the St. Louis Derby and had to finish second to Byron McClelland's fine colt, Prince Lief, in the fastest time ever recorded in that then important race. Later on Simms won his second Kentucky Derby on Plaudit. He won the Suburban Handicap on Ben Brush and headed the jockey list in 1893 and 1894. Anthony (Tony) Hamilton was of a low order of intelligence, but that did not prevent him from being a wonder in the saddle. He won the Brooklyn Handicap with Exile and Hornpipe and the Suburban Handicap with Lazzarone, the Futurity with Potomac and many other important races, and was just feared by his rivals.

He won the Brooklyn Handicap with Exile and Hornpipe and the Suburban Handicap with Lazarone, the Futurity with Potomac and many other important races, and was just feared by his rivals.

MURPHY, SIMMS AND OTHER RACE HORSE JOCKEYS OF OTHER DAYS All the foregoing would rank with Loftus, Sande or any other high- class jockey of more recent days. They were not all by any means. Such others as "Monk" Overton, Isaac Lewis, Felix Carr, "Tiny" Williams, E. West, J. Winkfield, Jerry Chorn, Link Jones, Bob Isom, Tommy Knight, James (Soup) Perkins, Tom Britton, James Lee, J. Porter, "Pete" Clay, Chevalier, Hoggett and others that could be mentioned were masterly riders, credited with great feats of horsemanship at one time and another. James Lee won enduring fame at Churchill Downs July 5, 1916, when he piloted the winners of the day's card of six races. "Monk" Overton rode the winners of six races at Washington Park July 16, 1891. He had no mount in one of the seven races of the day, but made a clean sweep of the other six. Overton was of the Hamilton type, a square, powerful young man and excelled in holding hard-headed horses together and driving them in a finish when they had a chance. There never was a greater favorite than Felix Carr was on the Chicago and San Francisco race tracks in the days when he was lightweight rider --- [Name] HON. JAMES W.

For some occult reason among the things not to be accounted for he was immensely popular with the feminine patrons. Their shrill war cry, "Come on you Felix," ascended to the high heavens when his mounts began to show in the stretch and, as a rule, Felix was coming with such effect that these implorings were changed to jubilant notes of rejoicing. He was then a merry little "coon" and he surely could ride. jockey he saved considerable money, and it will be recalled that only a few months ago the Chicago defender, in order to sell a few extra blood-and-thunder copies of the paper no doubt, published a long story to the effect that William Simms, the once famous colored jockey, who was well and favorably known among race horse men the world over, had sunk so low in the scales of humanity that he was now hitting the real "dope" R. (Tiny) Williams was a rider of great power and dash and extremely effective on two-year-olds. "Soup" Perkins was good enough for any man's stable. He rode Prince Lief and defeated Simms on Ben Brush in the St. Louis Derby and won the Kentucky Derby on the grand colt Halma. Winkfield was another extremely capable jockey who is still riding, but in France. He had Kentucky Derbys to his credit on His Eminence and Allan-a-Dale in 1901 and 1902. Also a Latonia Derby on Hernando. J. Knight rode Dick Welles in all of his notable races and Pete Clay is inseparable from the fame of the wonderful "Coal Black Lady" Imp, the two being a combination of great celebrity on the New York tracks. Prior to being nearly killed by a fall at Washington Park, Tom Britton was a star, bold, skillful and a topnotch finisher. He won the Tennessee Derby of 1891 on Valera and of 1892 on Tom Elliott, as well as the Kentucky Oaks of 1891 on Miss Hawkins.—From the Daily Racing Form, Chicago, Ill.

Mr. Simms read that highly colored up story, which did not contain one grain of truth in it, down at his beautiful home in New Jersey, and he sent a red hot statement back to the Chicago defender which Col. Robert S. Abbott gladly published, retracting or skinning back everything which had appeared in its columns in relation to the arrest of Mr. Simms and being fine and sent to the bridewell in Chicago as a common tramp and heavy user of "dope." Col. Abbott was dead anxious to sidestep a big libel suit and he was almost willing to stand on his head in order to quiet Mr. Simms down. Col. Dan M. Jackson, Mr. Joseph H. Hudlun, the late Robert T. Motts, and many of the other old timers residing in this city were warm friends of Isaac· Murphy, William Simms and several other of the successful race horse jockeys whom they knew were on the square and whenever they rode in the great American Derbys they would lay a little money down on them coming in under the wire far ahead of the other riders.

THE LINCOLN STATE BANK HAS HAD A REMARKABLE SOLID GROWTH SINCE ITS INCEPTION TEN YEARS AGO AND IT NOW RANKS WITH THE STRONGEST BANKING OR FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS IN THE MIDDLE WEST. The officers and directors of the Lincoln State Bank invited everybody on the South Side seemingly, including white and colored men, women and children, to come and join in assisting at the dedication of the new Commercial Banking building, located at No. 9-11 East 31st Street, near State, and to assist to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the founding of the Lincoln State Bank, May 1, 1922, at 3105 South State Street. The celebration and dedication began Monday morning, May 1, and continued all week up until this evening. Its officers and directors held a pleasant informal "at home" each day and evening during the celebration, and it is estimated that they shook hands with fifteen to twenty thousand people during the happy event. The banking rooms in both buildings were lavishly decorated with potted plants, ferns and huge baskets of American Beauty roses and carnations. Some of the numerous floral displays were presented by the following: Continental-Commercial National Bank, large basket of American Beauty roses; the First National Bank of Cedar Rapids, Ia., basket American Beauty roses; Liberty Life Insurance Company, large basket American Beauty roses; Roosevelt State Bank, basket of American Beauty roses and carnations; H. O. Stokes & Co., basket American Beauty roses; and Hon. Robert S. Abbott was among the many other friends of President Leibrandt, who presented him with a large basket of American Beauty roses and carnations. All the visitors and depositors of the Lincoln State Bank received tokens of friendship to make them feel at home. There was plenty of cigars in sight for the gentlemen, unique souvenir vanity cases for all the ladies, with the following inscription on either side of them: "Compliments of the Lincoln State Bank, Thirty-first and South State streets, Chicago, Ill." Tenth Anniversary, May 1, 1922. It also contains the two banking buildings occupied by the Lincoln State Bank of Chicago. There were baseball caps for the boys and little fancy trinkets for the girls. One of the most highly interesting and important features in connection with the celebration was the unique exhibition of original homes and bungalows shown by models in the Real Estate Department on the second floor of the Lincoln State Bank, and the exhibit attracted a great deal of attention from the thousands of visitors.

If you have pot, you would hardly know it, and vet it is nothing to what it is going to be in the future, and then the whole race will take off hats and heads to Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, president, and De Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treas- ore. When I wrote to you last week I «2s around and about Philadelphia. Tod I accepted am invitation to spend a day at Howard University, and I never spent such a day in all my life, and I have been shouting ever since 1 let there looking at so many edu- cated men and women of our race, and those preparing to become educated. ‘The more I saw the many improve- ments, and the more I saw Dr. Scott at his office with the large number of clerks and stenographers under him the more I felt like thanking God for Emmett J. Scott. He is one of the great men of our race. Reaching the city, Dr. W. H. Jer- nagin, president of the National Race Congress, toted me up to Howard University im his automobile. This made me go to the school in style. I reported to the office of the Secre- tary-Treasurer, but he had gone to the city. This of course then put me to report to others. They were will- ing to give me a guide, but I decided that 1 would guide myself, and out I struck on a tour to study Howard University, but, believe me, honey, it would just take you a month to study this great institution, and then the elf wontd mot be told.

It was a class of about 30 young men and women from all parts of the country, and some from for- gn countries. I looked at them, and heard them talk over affairs, and then Dean Miller asked me to have a few things to say. I had my say, and. then to another room, and another room. and another. This is not a child’s school, and you will believe me when I tell you they are not having the child's study, but problems requit- ing brains to grapple with. I found that among other things they have there were Liberal Arts, Edscation, Applied Science, Com- merce and Finance, Journalism, Re- ‘ign, Medicine, Music, General Serv- ‘ict, and Law. Then to come in touch with the heads of the departments. ‘The president is one of the finest men it has been my lot to meet.

In so many words he told me that I was displaying ignorance, and wanted ‘to let me know about this education business. He was F. D.

Iam not going to be able to give you all the people I met. Now then around to look at the buildings and grounds, to come in touch with what was going on. T could see here and there a new How- ard. I saw that wonderful building ‘being completed which will be the most complete. and the finest of its Kind, in the United States. Tt is 2 building in a building 1 could see other improvements going on, and could see that the Lord is doing great things for us. Dr. Scott had returned, and again to his office. It is an education with- in itself just to see how he conducts his office—I mean offices, for there are many under his direction. About 40 of them and in this number are Assistant Treasurer Clarence FE. Lu- cas, LL. B: Chief Clerk Lawrence Whaley: and Daniel W. Edmonds, Ph.B, cashier and bookkeeper. Then I started to name the bookkeepers, the stenographers, the telephone oper- lator, and many others. It is with. ease and dignity that Mr. Scott keeps them all busy and at the same time he looks after every business interest of the university. He is demonstrat- ing to the world the business ability ‘of the race to handle large programs. and all of this is just elevating him step by step in the world, and the race at the same time. I shall have to tell you more about Howard and Emmett J. Scott and President Durkee from time to time I have enough gathered about the improvements to fill several papers, and will let you have it on the in- stallment plan. ~ ‘There are so many things you want to ask me about and would like to have me tell you that T fear T am not going to be able to do so this week but there will be another time, and I will just roll up my sleeves and let you have it. ‘The Church Extension Board of the African Methodist Episcopal Church held an interesting mecting last week at headquarters, 1535 14th Street N.

Rubber and Maple Sugar. An interesting parallel has been Grawn between the different varieties of rubber trees in the tropics and those of maple trees in this country. Out of about 1,000 varieties of trees, all of which produce more or less rub- ber sap, only forty or fifty have been found whose product is considered commercially valuable. When a would-be cultivator of rub- ber goes to a tropical country and sets out a plantation of rubber trees, which the natives know do not belong to the right variety, he causes amused com- ment, such as would be excited by a South American who came to the Unl- ted States and bored holes in soft maples with the expectation of ob- taining sugar sap. Experience has shown that excellent rubber tress transplanted from their native habl- tat or other regions having apparent- ly Identical soll and climate may fiour- ish in growth, yet lose their producing power. Rubber culture requires great expert knowledge.

Fireworks Development. Few industries have shown more development within 4 century than that of making fireworks, The fire- works makers have vot only made im- portant contributions to the art them- selves, but have taken advantage of many discoveries and refinements made by others in chemistry and me chanica, ‘The colors given to fireworks are produced by mineral salts, copper be- ing made to produce green and blue; varium, green; sodium, yellow; cal- cium, red, and strontium, crimson. These salts are arrunged in combins- tlom with meal gunpowder and the recipes for star compositions, rockets, squibs, roman candies and the like are almost without number. Among the “set pieces” are portraits, lettered designs, “fixed suns,” fountains, palm trees, mosaic work and ships. First Method of Advertising. In Old Testament times, when the countries bordering on the Nile, the ‘Puphrates and Tigris rivers were the ‘center of trade, the Carthaginians eed to sail along the Mediterranean with 2 boatload of their manufactures which they would unlosd on the coast of Lybia, and having lighted « bonfire near the goods, returned to their ships. ‘The inbabitants, knowing by the bon- fire that the Carthaginians had some- thing to sell, would come out of their city to inspect it. Then they would pile up gold near thé merchandise and retire into the city. The Carthag+ nigns would land again, examine the gold, and if in thelr judgment it was equal in value to the goods they left. they would take it and sail away. ‘This bonfire custom is the first method of advertising of which his tory tells.

And, actually, they bave no desire to shirk their responsibilities, for the faithful- ness of the “widow” brings great honor to the bridegroom's family, it being considered quite a disgrace should the brideelect not wish to go throagh the ceremony uf marrying the flower-pot. In the days before China was a re- pabiic, the emperor, upon the facts being brought to his notice, had a handsome monument erected in com- memoration of the “widow's” faith- fulness. pe One of the most picturesque sights | 5, tm the world is the elephants at work | r9 2. _| im the city of Rangoon, at the mouth of | + the| the Irrawaddy river, where the logs ar-| 3, ncient | tive.

Krook is the proprietor of a rag and bone warehouse, where everything seems to be bought and nothing sold. He is # grasping drunkard, who even- tually dies of spontaneous combustion, that Is, he is so saturated with liquor that be takes fire and is consumed. In ® note to this chapter of “Bleak House” Dickens cites case of spon- taneous combustion that took place in Paris, France, and which, he said, was well verified by medical authority. It was probably from that case that Dickens obtained the idea which be made use of in describing Krook’s won- derful death. Purpees.

For this reason I tike Gin ice fist ae et tebe oe rok “White and Black” is the story of a small rural community in Texas You have the Negro tenant farmer, the ‘poor white, the landlord, the white jand the colored preacher. You have these people in their relation to white and colored women. And this picture is presented by a white Texan. My last sentence makes me want to indulge in retrospect. If a book with this setting had been sent me to re- view ten years ago, I should have jbeen able to size it up pretty accu- [rately without reading it. Its treat- ‘ment would have resembled the sec- ond half of the “Birth of the Nation.” Everyone in the Negro world would ‘have been objectionable except the trusted servants; and everyone in the white world would have been noble except a stray poor-white. The North would have been censored for recon- struction, and the South praised for its patience with the colored race. The South has produced many \books on this pattern, by Page and Dixon and others; books not written to tell the truth, but to defend the white South. To review “White and Black” on any such basis, however, would be ridiculously incorrect. One must read this story to see what a keen observer Shands is, how he picks out a bit of Texas and holds it up to us as it really is. The former pic- ture of the Southerner was like the photograph mother has taken of her small boy—hair neatly brushed, boots shined, best jacket, necktie straight, and on the angel’s face a look of pious resignation. But father now ap- pears with his kodak and snaps his offspring with tousled hair, torn shirt, scaling a fence to chase a stray cat, deviltry in his eyes. Shands has used his camera, and he has not been afraid of catching his white characters under some very shady circumstances. It is a remark- able sign of the times that within a few weeks of one another, Stribling’s “Birthright” and Shands’ “White and Black” should be published in New York. Of the two, Stribling’s story, which T reviewed as it was appearing in the Century, is the more artistic. This young man from Tennessee is a mas- Timepieces Royal Hobby.

For this reason I like it the better of the two books but it does not get so quick a hold upon one's sympathy. Perhaps this is be- cause Stribling has dared to make a ‘colored man his hero, to center his story about a Negro college graduate, and he has not sufficient knowledge ‘of the race to make his figure wholly ‘teal Whereas, Shands has sketched ‘his educated Negro very lightly, mak- ing his hero a white man. But it is ‘not the people who count for so much fe Shands’ novel, it is the things that happen, the lynching, the Ku Klux, ‘the part the young people play. Events move rapidly and the ending is powerful. But of this 1 must not tell you. It is unforgivable to spoil a good story. Don't miss this book I have re- viewed many volumes since last Oc- tober, and I cannot speak too strong- ly_of the necessity of reading this st8ry. Read it and then read “Birth- right” and tell me which one you like the better. There has been a battle royal at the N. A. A. C. P. office re- garding the relative value of these two works. Of course, you will find things to criticize, but when you are through, go to the library and pick up Page’s “Red Rock” or “Dixon's “Clansman.” Then you will see the immense distance we have progressed. The lynchers and the Ku Klux Klan are still with us, but the Southern ee of today, as exemplified by hands and Stribling. is not defend- ing them. On the contrary, he is re- lentlessly showing their weakness. And let us take a little credit to ourselves for bringing this about. The colored press, the N. A. A. C. P. with its constant stress upon publicity, the many daring investigations of lynch- ings that its staff have made, the fight going on today in Congress for the Anti-Lynching Bill, all these things have awakened the country. Perhaps when John R. Shillady was beaten up in Austin, Texas, he helped to make this book of Shands. Who knows? What we do know is that when self- criticism begins a community takes on new life. Self-satisfaction, self-com- placency, is killing much today that was fine in America. Let us rejoice that an opposite tendency is to be no- ticed im this attack upon the race question, and be glad that here we are beginning today to face the truth that alone can make us free.

Mango trees line the roads on the hot Indian plains which stretch out level “like the palm of « hand,” as far as the eye can see. These trees, about 40 feet in height, clothed in thick, heavy folage, not only afford ‘& welcome cool shade in the hottest day, but a variety of fruit which ts said to have no rival in sweetness, flavor, deliciousness and food vaine. Under these trees the village school 4s kept in the forenoon, and the vil- lage children learn to love them from thelr childhood. Nature is very prolific in the tropics, for one mango tree may yield almost half a ton of frult in one season. The mango is a fruit varying in size from ‘© small pear to a large coconut. The thick skin protects the fluvor, and ex- cept for the stone, the entire fruit ts used in many ways. It is eaten raw, or rather sucked, cut in slices, made tn- to jam, pickles and mango cakes, and is used as a flavor for both sour and sweet foods. ‘Mango ice cream is a very delicious food, but, perhaps, of all the tree's Products, mango chutney is the most famous, Mango is also used as & med!- ine, and is specific for sunstroke, which it cures almost instantly. The oor Indian peasant loves this tree to ‘Almost adoration because of its won- erful qualities. Barley Basie of Weight. During the reign of Henry Vill standards of length and weight were established with actual grains of wheat and barley as a basis. Three barley corns were an inch, and from that was built up our table of inches, feet, ells (yards), perch and acre. One’ restriction was thut the barley corn must be dry and taken from the middie of the car and lid end to end. ‘Under this same system 30 grains of wheat made a pennyweight, und from that as « basis they worked out the Troy pound in which 12 ounces still make 2 pound. g(riginally the sizex of shoes were based upon grains 01 barley, and it is said that these are the same today as in the early days. ‘There were 18 grains of barley to each size. “Furlong” is an old English word meaning “furrow long” and is based ‘upon the length « furrow would be im a square ten-acre field.
