The Giles Avenue Dedicatory Exercises and the Unveiling of the Bronze Tablet, at the Eighth Regiment Armory Last Saturday Afternoon, in Honor of the Memory of the Late Lieutenant, George L..Giles, and One Hundred and Forty One Other Members Belonging to the Eighth Regiment, Who Lost Their Lives on the Battlefields of France, Was a History Making Event MAYOR WILLIAM HALE THOMPSON, MAJOR GENERAL MILTON J. FOREMAN, GENERAL CARLOS E. BLACK, ADJUTANT GENERAL STATE OF ILLINOIS; THOMAS H. CANNON, HIGH CHIEF RANGER OF THE CATHOLIC ORDER OF FORESTERS; REV. FATHER JOSEPH ECKARDT, PASTOR OF ST. MONICA ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH, AND COL. OTIS B. DUNCAN, COMMANDING THE EIGHTH REGIMENT ILLINOIS NATIONAL GUARD, WERE THE LEADING SPEAKERS. HON. EDWARD H. WRIGHT ABLY AND BRILLIANTLY SERVED AS MASTER OF CEREMONIES, AND MRS. CARRIE WARNER, WITH BE- COMING MODESTY AND DIGNITY, REMOVED THE VEIL FROM THE BRONZE TABLET CONSTRUCTED TO THE MEMORY OF THE LATE LIEUT. GEORGE L. GILES. On last Saturday afternoon thousands of people attended the Giles Avenue Dedicatory Exercises and the unveiling of the bronze tablet constructed on the side of the Eighth Regiment Armory in honor of the memories of the late Lieutenant George L. Giles and the other one hundred and forty-one members of the Eighth Regiment who lost their lives on the bloody battlefields of France and to further honor the memory of Lieutenant Giles for all time to come, who was the first and only officer of the old Eighth Regiment to offer up his bright and promising young life in far away France for his country, Forest avenue has been changed from 31st street to 39th street to Giles avenue, and a row of beautiful trees was recently planted which will also redound to his memory, and if we mistake not, it was the very first time in the history of this country that the city officials in any part of it have changed the name of any street in order to honor the name of any colored man; but Chicago being one of the greatest cities in the world, and the vast majority of its citizens being fair minded and progressive, she always does things on a large and lasting scale and this was not the first or only time that she has honored the memory of a colored man, for many years ago she named the John Jones School in honor of the memory of John Jones, who was the first colored man to be elected one of the commissioners of Cook County, and at that time he was the most progressive and representative colored business man residing in this city. Prior to the speaking from the platform, which had been constructed at the north end of the Armory for the occasion and the unveiling of the bronze tablet, a parade was formed which wended its way north on Giles avenue to 31st street, east on that street to Calumet avenue, south on that avenue to 39th street, west on 39th to Giles avenue, north on that avenue to the Eighth Regiment Armory. It was headed by Col. Otis B. Duncan, commanding the Eighth Regiment, and Col. H. H. Biggs, head of Knights of Pythias throughout the State of Illinois, and staff officers of the Regiment, including Lieut. Col John H. Patton, Major J. R. White, Captain and Chaplain W. S. Braddan, Captain R. A. J. Shaw, Captain C. Spencer Dickerson and others who were followed by the famous Eighth Regiment Band, by two companies of soldiers by the K. P. Band Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias, and Odd Fellows and by a number of ladies representing those and other orders. They were costumed in pure white from head to foot and with their beautiful rich flowing capes they made a fine impression as they proudly and gracefully marched through the streets and played their part well in assisting to honor the memory of the late Lieutenant George L. Giles. The following was the order of the exercises at the Eighth Regiment Armory: THE FEDERAL CONFERENCE DEDICATORY EXERCISES AND UNVEILING OF THE BRONZE TABLET AT THE EIGHTH REGIMENT ARMORY LAST SATURDAY AFTERNOON WAS WITNESSED BY MANY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE, AS THE ABOVE ILLUSTRATION INDICATES.

Metropolitan Community Center Choir rendered selections as the parade passed the Metropolitan Community House 3118-20-22 Giles Ave. General Carlos E. Black, Adj-Gen- eral State of Illinois, delivered the following oration which is full of solid facts or thoughts: "I am greatly honored in being given the privilege to be present at these dedicatory ceremonies. "Today, we do honor to those who made the supreme sacrifice upon the altar of their country, and by so do- ing, we demonstrate our appreciation of their service and the services of them comrades. "Others here today, whose command of the language is much greater than mine, will speak more ably on that subject. "The deeds, however, of the officers and men of the Eighth Infantry are already, indelibly written on the pages of history. For bravery in action in the face of the enemy, the United States has taken official cognizance and even foreign countries have recognized the gallantry of its members by awarding their decorations. "These are traditions upon which the organization of today may well be built. "Their service in time of peace, previous to the great conflict was the basis of their efficient services when the great call came and such is their service today. "I feel that I would be remiss in my duty if I did not take advantage of this opportunity to place before you just what the National Guard is today. "The National Guard is an Insurance. It is as old a form as the Constitution of the United States where it is first and most wisely provided for. "The National Guard is an organization that encourages and fosters the upbuilding of the young man in your community, not only physically but morally, and by so doing makes him a better citizen to live in the community and to enjoy the manifold blessings of citizenship which is guaranteed by the flag that he follows." "Look about you and note the contrast between the man with service and other chaps their own age. They look healthier, they think more quickly, and while there are a few who have not increased in value and character, but the majority of them have a far better knowledge of their fellowman and, although, knaki may come a long ways from producing a perfect man, it improves the value of a large per cent. The ex-service men as a rule are courteous, straightforward, upstanding and considerate. "The National Guard organization is an institution legally created and accepted by the Government and State, and is a fixed and important part of a large comprehensive scheme of National and community defense and protection at a minimum of cost. "It provides a sizeable citizen soldier for domestic and other needs sufficient for any first emergency demands, at a minimum cost to the taxpayers. It keeps down to minimum numbers and cost of the Regular Army. This National Guard movement is a great big serious National affair. It is a serious effort for the most inexpensive National preparation possible under present sentiment and conditions. "It involves a great degree of training and study on the part of the officers and men and has nothing to do with what is sometimes a local idea of a military company being a bunch of tin soldiers and roisterers, always ready for "fun," "frolic," or a "trip" at somebody's else expense. On the contrary, there is involved rigid training, instruction, and discipline supervised by experienced officers. "All cost of equipment, uniforms, clothing, arms and all that a soldier needs, is defrayed by the Federal Government." "The small amount of time demanded for drills and field training namely: once a week armory drill and two weeks annually for field training, is also paid for by the Federal Government. "All that is required of the community is to provide a suitable armory and a storage place for the company for which rent will be paid, and to give a generous amount of moral support, friendliness and encouragement. "In order that the local organization be a success, a community interest in all quarters must be main- tained that there will be permanently established a moral support and constant atmosphere of encouragement and public interest. The organization must be an acknowledged, accepted, desirable and fixed feature in the community. "It it really ranks among the most potent factors for the preservation of law and order and the protection of life and property in the country at large and in the states, counties, cities and towns. "The National Guard personnel represents 100 per cent young American patriotic blood of the community and all that that stands for. It stands for good morals, health, exercises and useful training. It is a tangible, concrete and practical expression of patriotic citizenship and fits the young man to render service of incalculable value when law and order are violated in the country and the state needs them. "With a reasonable amount of moral and very little financial support, the armory of a properly conducted military organization can be made an attractive, homelike, clublike, social and entertainment community center and thereby an agency for decent and refined associations, good morals and a desirable rendezvous for soldiers and citizens. "An agency which is properly conducted will equal in this good moral results any already established in the community. It is a moral agency with physical and military training, that in time of trouble, can turn out an organized body for the protection of the community. In time of flood, or other calamity, the armory immediately becomes available as the proper center for organizing and conducting the many civic military activities necessary for the relief of a stricken community, 5 CENTS per copy Unveiling History Last the Late Forty One Who Lost History i. e., establishing military guard, distribution of food and shelter, rescue work, preservation of health, community sanitation and matters generally pertaining to a quick recovery, and restoration to normal. What other established agency, moral or otherwise can do this? "The young men composing the National Guard units have a greater right to consider their organization a proper protege of the community than many other organizations, associations and clubs, fostered and supported by the community at a vastly greater cost. They are equally citizens, representative young men taxpayers. They are a strong moral influence against lawlessness. "The moral effect alone of a well ordered National Guard organization in a community may prevent the loss of life of men, women and children, to say nothing of the loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of property. It is in many ways a splendid insurance to the community at a very small premium cost. It is against no association, organization, or union, but for law, order and protection only." "And knowing the National Guard as I do, with all of its wonderful traditions in all wars from the time of the Revolution to the last great World War, and the many services it has rendered in times of peace, under equally distressing circumstances, with all these behind it and that same spirit of service permeating its ranks as I know it is, I feel that you can safely rely on the Eighth Infantry of the Illinois National Guard to protect that flag and to act as nobly in the future in an emergency as it has in the past." Col. Franklin A. Denison, who as commander of the Eighth Regiment at the time it departed for the battlefields of France and trained or drilled his men so well that they were able to join the Thirty-third Division six weeks ahead of any of the other units and by reason of the fact they were the first American troops to be shoved or rushed to the front in double quick time as soon as they landed on French soil and lead off in the thickest of the fighting. Read the following sketch of the life of Lieutenant George L. Giles, at the same time paying a glowing tribute to his memory: "George L. Giles was born in Chicago, September 21, 1895. He attended the St. Brendon School until he reached the age of 13 years. He was graduated from the John P. Altgeld School, 1371 W. 71st St, Chicago, in 1910. He enlisted in the Eighth Infantry, Illinois National Guard, June 19, 1916. He was appointed Corporal June 26, 1916. He was appointed Sergeant July 15, 1916, was afterward appointed Battalion Sergeant Major and served in this capacity throughout the Mexican border service in 1916. He was commissioned Second Lieutenant of Infantry January 9, 1918, and assigned to Company G. He was killed in action with his company at Grandelup-et-Fay, France, October 29, 1918. He was buried with full military honors at Chambry, France. He left a father and a host of friends to mourn his loss." Mr. Giles, the aged father of Lieutenant Giles, was honored with a seat on the platform, and Miss Florence Deneen, sister of Hon. Charles S. Deneen, who was his teacher at the time he graduated from the Altgeld School, also occupied a seat on the platform and felt greatly pleased at the way in which the memory of one of her pupils was being honored. All in all it was a history-making event among the white and colored citizens residing within the broad walls of the great city of Chicago.

Anthony Aery Hampton, Va.—The Hampton Institute students, in addition to their recent presentation of "The Drum-Major," a romantic opera of the First Empire of France, at the commencement season, have recently presented several stage productions which have won the thanks and praise of critics. The Shakespeare Dramatic Club, assisted by a boys' orchestra. which was directed by R. Nathaniel Dett, presented "Julius Caesar" with appropriate costumes and stage settings. Edward L. Dabney, of Hampton, Va., played the role of "Caesar"; S. Miller Johnson, of Thornton, Ark., "Mark Antony"; Olivia S. White, of Norfolk, Va., "Calpurnia"; Harry E. Cook, of Belroi, Va., "Brutus"; Bertha Q. Agee, of York, S. C., "Portia," and Stuart L. Whiting, of Norfolk, Va., "Octavius." A number of the Hampton Institute girls, under the direction of Miss Wilhelmina B. P. Batterson, teacher of vocal music in the Academy, presented, in costume, "Gitanos," a Spanish operetta, written by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, whose father was a native of Sierralea Leone, at one of the school assemblies, held in Ogden Hall. The Sophoclean Dramatic Club presented Stephen Phillips' "Ulysses," a dramatization of "The Odyssey," with artistry and keen insight into dramatic values. R. Nathaniel Dett in a review expressed this appreciation: "It must be said that the Sophoclean players made the most of their [Image of a man in a suit with a tie]. [Name] HON. EDWARD H.

They threw themselves into the portrayal of the classic legend with such zest and spirit that the effects, which they obtained, rivalled those of the professional stage. Artistic color schemes and well designed costumes made each scene a delight to the eye. It was the excellent delivery of the lines, however, which made most of the success. It is noteworthy that costumes and scenery were made by the hands of committees which had been drawn from the membership of the Sophoclean Club." In the annual prize-speaking contest at Hampton Institute the winners were: First, John H. Calhoun, Jr., Greenville, S. C., Kipling's "The Explorer," second, John T. Jones, Montgomery, Ala., Hugo B."

COLORED BAND TO GIVE CONCERTS Mayor Browning, of Baltimore, Md., has employed a Colored band of thirty-five musicians that will give six concerts during the months of June, July and August in the Negro districts of Baltimore. Jack Thomas, who had a band at Camp Meade during the war, will be the leader and many members of his organization were members of his Camp Meade band. The season opened the first week in June and the six concerts will be given under the general direction of Frederick R. Huber, municipal director of music of Baltimore. There will be jazz music, street dancing and community singing. [Name] the Second Ward, Who Ably lies During the Exercises of the let, in Honor of the Memory of les, and to the Memories of the Other Members of the Eighth Lives on the Battlefields of MRS. CARRIE WARNER CONGRESSMAN DYER WANTS ACTION ON ANTI-LYNCHING BILL Writes Letter to Senator Knute Nelson of Judiciary Committee The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, has received from Congressman L. C. Dyer a copy of a letter he wrote to Senator Knute Nelson, Chairman' of the Senate Judiciary Committee, asking prompt action on the Anti-Lynching Bill now being held up in the senate. Mr. Dyer's letter says in part: "I feel that the situation is so serious that no delay other than absolutely necessary should be permitted. The most horrible lynchings are now taking place in some of the States of the Union. "The Congress certainly ought to legislate if it has the authority to do so. It is beyond dispute that States are unable to protect citizens of the United States resident in the respective States where lynchings are going on. If the United States Government has no authority under the Constitution to protect its citizens, as indicated, then that fact should be determined. "Since the House of Representatives believes we have the Constitutional authority, I am in hopes that the Senate will pass the Bill referred to, and I feel sure the Supreme Court of the United States will sustain the constitutionality of it. In case it does not, as some think, then we can do what has been done in other instances, endeavor to secure an amendment to the Constitution. "The Attorney General of the United States says, he is ready to go to the Supreme Court upon the Bill as passed by the House, and feels satisfied that its constitutionality will be sustained. The United States is disgraced the world over on account of mob law prevailing in many of the States. The Federal Government ought to be able and willing to protect its citizens from such. We command our citizens from every state to fight for the preservation of the honor and integrity of our country. If we can do that and then not be able to protect them from mobs, we are certainly in a bad way. Something ought to be done. The House has acted, and I do not believe that any effective results can come from any conferences concerning the legislation until the Senate has acted, and the matter can then go to conference as provided by the rules of the Senate of the House. 59TH COMMENCEMENT AT WILBERFORCE, UNIVERSITY (Special to The Broad Ax) June 15 will mark the close of a very successful year's work at Wilberforce University, and on that day more than 200 young men and women will complete the prescribed course in the several departments. Notwithstanding the fire and the many hindrances incident to it, 1414 students have registered in all departments outside of the Summer School. Because of the large attendance expected at this Commencement the authorities are planning to hold the exercises of the Commencement Day proper on the Shorter Hall campus, weather permitting. All the other features will be held in Galloway Hall as usual. CHICAGO, ILL. SATURDAY, JUNE 10, 1922 CHARLES E. STUMP, THE WOULD-BE REGULAR TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AX, IS STILL STRANDED IN THE SOUTHERN STATES. HE IS HEADED FOR CALIFORNIA. San Antonio, Texas.—When you are through praying for yourself and you have any prayers left, I wish you would me have a few words, for you see that it is not you but me that is standing in the need of prayer. Of course I have a few brothers and sisters down here with me. I am right in Texas. It is better to be right here than wrong here. They have been having lots of fun in this state, killing, cooking and having barbecues, until I am afraid at times they may mistake me for something to be boiled or cooked or barbecued, and I consider that I am entirely too much flesh to go to waste. I am sorry that mob violence and lynchings are permitted to go in our country, for it gives us a bad name and says to the world we are not capable of enforcing law. We can make laws, put them on the big books to be studied by those who desire to be lawyers, but there are lawless men who trump them under feet, and bring disgrace upon Old Glory. I think about the editors of our papers who are every week putting their brain on paper pleading for law and order, and the preachers who are preaching it, and holding in check here and there the men who would be lawless. They tell them to "look to Jesus," declaring that Jesus can do more than shotguns. "Throw away your guns and bludgeons, and get on your knees," has been the advice for years, and I shall continue to give it. I do this because I believe in Jesus, and I believe that God is not dead. But here and there I find that some mischievous fellow has put a question mark behind my statements and make all of my sentences interrogative. But none of these things move me. I saw some fellow saying that the Negro was being driven to the condition of heartless, and there are thousands of them who have declared that a southern jail was only the place to make it possible for the lynchers to get hold of a Negro, and many of them had decided to select death rather than be arrested, to be made an easy prey. I hope that this is a mistake, that while others may disregard law, let us submit. The men who take part in lynchings are the men who are degraded and they are way beneath the helpless victim they lynch. Some fellows are saying that there is but one way now to check lynchings and that is to resort to the Old Moses law or something like that. I never heard of that law, hence I don't know whether to recommend it to our young men or not. But they say it is a law. Moses gave to us the Ten Rules of Law, and they are good and if that is what they represent it is all right, but some man was telling me that it has something to do with eyes for teeth and teeth for eyes, or something like that. Now there is no need in me talking about what I don't know, but if that is the law against lynching, I will ask Congress of the United States to borrow it from Mr. Moses, and let us have it since they have said that the bill proposed, by Congressman Dyer, and passed by the House of Representatives is not in harmony with the Federal Constitution. At times when I would become discouraged, I am led to some college or high school, and see the struggling young people, the men and women who are taking in thought, I am then and there caused to think with this army of thinkers coming out of schools and taking their places, some thing is going to be stopped. Continue to trust God. Last week, I was in Kittrell college, Allen University, Morris Brown University, Morehouse college; Clark University; and ended the week at the State Normal School, Montgomery, Ala., with that noble man, and prince of scholars, Prof. G. W. Trenholm. Two big events will occur on the 15th which are significant in the life of Wilberforce. As has been previously announced, Hon. Robert Wilberforce, great grandson of the man whose name the institution bears, will deliver the Commencement Address before the graduating class at 10 o'clock. Mr. Wilberforce, of Oxford, England, is the director of the British Library of Information in the United States. At 2:30 p. m. Wilberforce Lodge No. 21, Free and Accepted Masons, together with the allied branches of Masonry of the State of Ohio, will lay the cornerstone of the New James A. Shorter Hall. The contract has been let, and the workmen are already busy on the new structure. These two great events will truly mark this Commencement as a real Wilberforce Day, and it is but fitting that this should be a home-coming occasion to many of the graduates and former students. Bigger and better things are thus promised to the oldest and largest school, owned and controlled by Negroes, for the education of men and women of their own Race. who is a product of the man who was sold through the famous Richmond Slave Pen, William Hooper Council, who has long since gone on to his eternal reward. But there is Prof. Trenholm, who is doing a great work, and we are to have a greater school in Montgomery. Under his leadership it is taking on new life. I had the pleasure of attending the commencement exercises May 31, and I heard the orations, and then I heard the address by Charles Stewart, who declared that the world wanted a man, one who could measure up to the standard of a man and not color. He put man up as a thinker, and with his think-tank not operating, then he became as a child, and was so regarded and color had nothing to do with it. I wish I could tell you just like he told it, but he did say that a white fool and a black fool were just two fools. I think he then said a white thinker with his mind tuned in harmony with God and the black thinker the same were just two thinkers. He declared that the time would come when proud America would, measure manhood not by color but by thought—by mind. Just as the Huns made President Wilson and those in charge seek manhood minus color, and that thing would some day be repeated, but stronger. "We are going to stay with Old Glory," he said, "and we have a right to do so. No man has no more claim on this flag than I have. The first blood spilled for it was that of Crispus Attucks on the streets of Boston, and he was a member of my race. Full of African blood as a bed bug full of human blood, after a good night on some human carcass. But let us think, and bear in mind that you can get a new sight into life by visiting the National Negro Business League, August 16, in Norfolk, Va. They are arranging a great program for this meeting. They are going to be there. It will be where many of the thinkers of our race will spend their vacations. I expect to be there to drink in some of their thought. I suppose you heard that Dr. Emmett J. Scott has resigned the position of secretary of the National Negro Business League. You see he holds a big position at Howard University, and they keep him so busy at all times that he cannot give to the League the time that he used to give it, and rather than neglect it he handed in his resignation, and the assistant secretary, Albin L. Holsey, has taken hold of the work, and will push it onto Norfolk and you will hear from him from time to time. Dean L. B. Moofe, formerly of Howard University, is now serving as National Organizer, and he will call on you before the meeting in August. He is out on the road right now, talking about the National Negro Business League. This is one of the things planted by the late Dr. Booker T. Washington that is going to live because of the good it has accomplished and is still accomplishing. Dr. Robert R. Moton, the successor to Dr. Washington, is putting his life into it, and all of the friends of Booker T. are rallying to it. I shall have more to say about the Business League in another letter. I am going to be in New Orleans, and then to California. I am not at all well, and the trip to California is in search of health, although I may not have lost it out there, yet it could have drifted out there and if so will find it. I made it from Montgomery to New Orleans, then to Crowley, La., Houston, Texas, and right where I am now. You will hear from me next week on the Grand Lodge of Texas. They are doing things here. I think I will have to bring this letter to a stop for this time, but will have more to say to you in another letter. CHARLES E. STUMP. MRS. BLANCHE WRIGHT-PAGE RETURNS TO CHICAGO—HER OLD HOME TOWN—TO PERMANENTLY RESIDE. The middle of the past week Mrs. Blanche Wright-Page, who has been living in Washington, D. C., for the past ten or twelve years; who was in the employ of the Federal Government most of that time, returned to this city to reside in the future. While in Washington, D. C., she studied law real hard in connection with her other duties and she is now a full fledged lawyer. In the meantime she was happily united in marriage to Mr. G. Morris Page, who is also a lawyer, and in a short time he will follow Mrs. Page on to this city to reside. At the present time Mrs. Page is stopping at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. Gray Lucas, 3646 Grand boulevard, and she has established her law office at 204 East 35th street, near Indiana avenue, in the same suite with Attorney Lucas. [Name] HON.

L. Williams and the other followers of Hon. Edward J. Brundage among the colored people residing in the Second Ward greatly assisted to carry that ward for him.

SEGREGATE COLORED AMERI- NEW INFANT WELFARE STA CANS AT LINCOLN MEMO- TION OPENED ON THE RIAL DEDICATION SOUTH SIDE Colored Americans were segregated in the seating of the audience during the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D. C., at which President Harding spoke. This information was contained in a letter sent the National Association for the advancement of Colored People, 70th Avenue, New York, by Shelby Davidson, executive secretary of Washington Branch, N. A. A. C. Mr. Davidson's letter says in part: an herewith calling attention to dedication of the Lincoln Memorial here. The conditions which con- nounced us as a race were the most shameful and disgraceful in the annuls of history. Platform tickets were distributed to the most representative of our citizens, colored, and when they appeared they found segregation running riot. Platform seats reserved for whites were in chairs and within distance of the speakers that might be called reasonable, considering the crowd, while back of those seats were those reserved for colored people, roped off from those occupied by the whites and placed about a block away from the Memorial in the grass and weeds with rough hewn benches without backs or supports. "Placed at the entrance to these seats were marines who were distasteful, discourteous and abusive even to swearing in the presence of our colored women who accompanied their husbands to the celebration. Some of our people, be it said to their credit, as soon as; they saw the situation turned and left the dedication rather than submit to the abuses offered them." THE AMATEUR MINSTREL BOYS THANK THE PUBLIC FOR ITS LOYAL SUP-PORT The Amateur Minstrel Club begs to inform their thousands of friends that as a result of their Twenty-sixth Annual Show and Dance, they were able to turn over to the Old Folks' Home, two thousand ($2,000.00) dollars. The Club regrets greatly, and wishes to apologize to its dancing friends, for the dance program being cut short. This was the fault of the orchestra director. We assure you that this will not happen again. We take this liberty to again thank our many friends for their loyal support, and promise you additional talent on our next appearance. L. V.

The Station is run by the Infant Welfare Society and will be known as the Celia Parker Woolley Station. For the present it will care for babies up to two years of age. It is hoped that later on facilities of the station will be increased so as to take children up to six years of age and to do pre-natal work. Mothers may consult the nurse each Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday morning from 8:30 to 9:30, and conferences to which babies may be brought are held Tuesday and Friday from 9:00 to 12:00. During the week, M. T. Bailey, pres, the Bailey Realty Co., and mgr, the Milton Mercantile Agency, 3638 S. State St., while enroute to Virginia, stopped at Washington, D.

AT WASHINGTON CLUB TO MEET CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY. JUNE 10, 1922 BOOK CHAT BYMARY WHITE OVINGTON, CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COL- ORED PEOPLE "NEGRO FOLK TALES WITH A $TUDY" By Thomas W. Talley. Published by the Macmillan Co., New York City. Price $2.25. Postage 10c Extra. The Negro has become so much a part of America that there are certain facts regarding his life that we are apt to forget. One is that Africans were brought to this country down to the outbreak of the Civil War, that African lore was thus being continually renewed among the American born Negroes. And another fact is that the slave lived two lives, one as a servant of the whites, and the other a life of his own with much that was African in its traditions and its cultural background. This life was despised or good humoredly tolerated by the whites, but we are learning that in some respects, it was richer and more original than the white European civilization dominating it. This collection of folk songs, shows us a little of the Negro's cultural life. It is unsatisfying because with a few exceptions we have only the words, and the words were of the least account. The pastime songs, the dance songs, need the music and the motion. Without this they compare unfavorably with the songs and games of white children. The songs and games that are still played by street children, (though the silly kindergarten and public school songs have largely banished them from our playgrounds), are often medieval in their origin any of lovely imagery. Take our May Day songs or "London Bridge." The African songs, as shown in this volume, are poor in vocabulary and sometimes reminiscent of a Mother Goose tale, as "Goosie, Goosie, Gander," or "Patty Cake, Patty Cake." But this is natural as English was a foreign tongue to the African and he had not as yet made himself the master of it that he is today. If it were not for Mr. Talley's lengthy and admirable study of these rhymes we should not half appreciate them. He interprets for us, for instance, such a song as Jonah's Band Party: "Setch a kickin' up san'! Jonah's Ban'! Setch a kickin' up san! Jonah's Ban! Han's up sixteen! Circle to de right! We's gwine to git big eatin' here tonight." This is a dance rhyme, and one must first conjure up the swaying figures in their boisterous dance. The drum, the instrument that was used for the dance in Africa, was absent in America, and so the dancers pat hands and feet to the measure, unconsciously recalling the boom to which they formerly kept time. This is a "Call" and "Response" or "Sponge" verse. "Setch a kickin' up san" is a solo and "Jonah's Ban'", the response by the rest of the party. We have this dance rhyme with the music. We are most grateful whenever the music is given.

MISS FRAZER RETURNING Miss Johnella Frazier, a teacher at the V. N. & I. I. Petersburg, Va., is returning to the city immediately at the close of school June 9th, on account of the severe illness of her father. "You jes want me to fall an' kill myself." There are play rhymes where we can guess a little the actions accompanying them. Here is one that has the call and 'sponse. How it was played, we are not told, but for a description of a nagging insect it is inimitable. "Dem old black gnats, dey is so bad I caint git out'n here. Dey stings, an' bites, an' runs me mad; I caint git out'n here. "Dem ole black gnats, dey sings de song, You cait git out'n here. You can git out n here. Ole Satan 'll git you befo' long; You caint git out n here. "Dey burns my years, gits in my eye; An' I caint git out n here. Dey makes me dance, dey makes me cry; An' I caint git out n here. "I fans an' knocks but they won't go 'way! I can't git out'n here. Fer I caint git out'n here." The African transplanted to America as we have said, led two lives. The first was his life at work and with his master's people. The second was when he was able to be with his own. He had little time to play and none to work at the beautiful handicrafts, the cloths that looked like velvet, the decorated cups and water jars, the multitude of musical instruments that he had fashioned in his old home. He found the fiddle and the banjo and soon learned to play them far better than did the whites about him. Quills, reed instruments, he fashioned himself from the sugar cane, and he rigged up a triangle from an iron clive and a pin. With these he made his music. Full self-expression was rarely possible, slaves must not gather together, for the fear of insurrection was always present to the whites. So we have the Spiritual, "Steal Away to Jesus" with its double meaning, seemingly only a hymn but also a call to a meeting to be held soon. There was a great deal of this, Mr. Talley tells us, in the slave songs. He gives us one, a pathetic call of the wife to her husband, "The Runaway Slave." There is another runaway slave song that one enjoys. "Ise done killed de boss, Ise knocked down de hoss, I eats up raw goose widout apple sauce! But ole Mosser haint coint me, an he never will!" Mr. Talley's collection has been made with a scholar's care and industry. His study of rhyme-form and his careful subdivision of subject matter, make his work the more valuable. One may not always agree with him, but his suggestions pique the student. This volume will take its place among the important contributions to American folk lore. MRS.

NEW NEGLIGEES OF CHIFFON Summery Materials Making Appearance—Narrow Ribbon Appliques in Roman Stripe Effect. Summery crepe de chines and chiffons are making their appearance for coat negleiges. Narrow ribbon appliques in Roman stripe effect make the trimming for an interesting crepe de chine design. On the chiffon models little soft ruffles with heading of lace insertion fall down the sides and are becomingly used as collars and cuffs. For a slightly more elaborate negleige chiffon is also used, combining contrasting shades and draped with ruffles of varying widths. The cape negleige of the very young person is another spring development and has recently appeared as a slipover model with ruchelle collar of self-blossoms faced with a contrasting color. NEW WAISTCOATS OF RATINE Fabric is in Keeping With Character of Tweed and Homespun—Should Be in Demand. The frayed or fringed skirt has led even neckwear into the temptation of raveling its edges. When ratine is the material, and rust while the color combination, the effect is very smart and the attractiveness of the sport or tailored suit is greatly enhanced by the addition. Ratine waistcoats are quite in keeping with the character of tweed and homespun and should be in considerable demand as long as these suits are worn. Pongee is another practical material for vestee styles, says Dry Goods Economist. Its neutral color assures adaptability and its laundered quality is a strong selling point. With the well-favored dark blue suit, the pongee accessory is in very good taste and good style. HINTS FOR THE DRESSMAKER How to Trim the Black Sateen Morning Frock—Embroidery May Be Effectively Used. To trim the new and useful black sateen morning frock there are several up-to-date ways. One is to use cheerful cretonne to form bands to outline the neck and short sleeves and pockets. Another plan is to use cretonne to form a bib design down the front of the frock. This brightens it up considerably and makes it becoming. A third plan is gay-colored crepe for collars and cuffs and pipings. One may also embroider the black sateen with colored wools effectively. Basket designs worked in green wool should have blue or yellow flowers or crimson cherries. Then there is the popular appliqué work that can utilize scraps of checked gingham for simple fruit or flower designs. Sashes Are Featured. Frocks of checked silk gingham are combined with silk or organdle-trimmed sashes. Many sashes are belng worn, some of brocaded ribbon, other of plain ribbon or silk, finished with tassels.

Historic Knife The Camavalet museum recently received what is said to be the knife of the guillotine used in Paris during the French Revolution and the subsequent Reign of Terror, and which served to decapitate Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette, Robespierre, and thousands of others. It was a gift to the museum from a Belgian collector. The relic is said to have been in the possession of the family of Samson, the famous executioner of the French Revolution, for several generations.

His aunt was at the house-one day, and was telling about the little cops—how well they were getting along in school, music, etc. Philip took it all in, and as she was leaving, he said: "Much obliged, auntie, for trying to put a little ambition in me." On the Farm. Once the farmer swathed his wheat with the cradle and raked and bound it by hand. Then the horse-drawn reaper appeared, then the McCormick binder, and finally the great mechanical tractors of the present, each of which haul two binders. Once, also, the antiquated fill "resounded from morning to night" on the best of the farms. Then horses were used to tread on the straw, and then came the treadmill thresher, the last of which went out some fifteen years ago. Today tractor threshers do the work. Seek New Supplies of Ivory.

These may be grouped in those due to structure, those caused by color variation or pigmentation, and to combination of the two, says the American Forestry Magazine. These again may be classified as normal and abnormal or pathologic. By normal is meant the natural condition of the wood of a sound tree. In the abnormal or pathologic are to be found the peculiar distortions and colorations resulting from disease, the attacks of insects and activities of various agencies not a part of the regular life processes of the trees.

Rising to a height of 13,000 feet, only a few miles from Kilauea, is the great volcano of Mauna Loa, which has intermittent eruptions, the last one of great violence beginning in October, 1919, and continuing for five months, the flow coming from a split in the mountain far down upon its flank. The black rolls of treacle lava flowed for miles through the sand flats, forests and bare rock slopes, finally emptying into the sea, where giant clouds of steam rose day and night. Myriads of sea fish were killed by the boiling water. Good "Grain" Results Artificial "training" of wood has been practiced for a long time and some of the results obtained, by the modern methods of printing from a master roll of real wood are remarkably realistic, says the American Forestry Magazine. Through this means it is possible to impart a good imitation of mahogany to plain, colorless woods and to metals. Panal Hat Worn in 850. Originally the tara, or triple crown of the pope was a plain high cap, much like those in which doges of Venice are so often represented in old pictures. 'It was first introduced by Pope Nicholas I, in 860. Just when the first coronet was added is a matter of uncertainty, but the second was placed by Pope Boniface VIII in 1295 and the third by Pope Urban V, about 1898. Easy. "George, you should get married," advised the married man. "It is wonderful to have a home waiting for you when you return at night. There is ecstasy in caring for a garden and a lawn; you can raise a dog from a pup, children are adorable and no trouble at all, a wife is an inspiration, and even if she does get suspicious you can always talk her out of it." "I could if I could lie like you can," said the bachelor, thoughtfully. — Wayside Tales. "Watchdog of the Treasury." "The watchdog of the treasury" was a title first given to Judge William Steele Holman, a United States representative from Indiana. He was elected first, in 1856, and with the exception of the Thirty-ninth, Forty-ninth, Fort-fifth, Fort-sixth and Fifty-fourth congresses, served continuously until his death, April 22, 1897, in Washington. He received the "watchdog" title because of his championship of economy and his opposition to new appropriations and measures which he considered extravagant. Saturday Note.
