The Broad Ax

THE DOWNFALL OF ATTORNEY JOHN R. AUTER, WHO MADE HIS SUCCESSFUL "GETAWAY" WITH $12,500 BELONGING TO THE GRAND LODGE, KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS OF ILL. HE HAS BEEN SENTENCED TO THE PENITENTIARY AT JOLIET, ILLINOIS, FROM ONE TO FOURTEEN YEARS. AT THE PRESENT TIME HE IS RESTING UP IN THE COOK COUNTY JAIL UNTIL HIS CASE IS PASSED UPON BY THE APPELLATE COURT, BEING UNABLE TO FURNISH A FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLAR BOND FOR HIS LIBERTY. IT IS CLAIMED BY SOME OF HIS FRIENDS THAT HE USED MORE THAN FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS OF THE MONEY TO BUY A NEW AUTO FOR A BEAUTIFUL MARRIED LADY WHO RESIDES ON VINCENNES AVENUE, SOUTH OF 46TH STREET.

The Knights of Pythias throughout this state have been greatly torn up of late over the fact that Col. John R. Auter, who has in the past been one of the shining light of that order, successfully made his "get away" with twelve thousand and five hundred dollars belonging to the grand lodge. It seems that Col. Auter was secretary of the beneficiary board of the grand lodge and had for many years held that and other responsible positions in his order and like his warm personal friend, Col. Albert B. George, he always managed to fall into some position where he could handle and control many thousands of dollars which belonged to the grand lodge, which rolled into his hands from every direction and the temptation to either use or get away with a lot of easy money was too much for him to withstand. Strange to say that the head smart or sharp officers of the grand lodge of Knights of Pythias of Illinois never demanded or required Col. Auter to furnish a bond for more than one thousand dollars for the faithful and honest performance of his official duties and that little one thousand bond had ran out long before he attempted to cause twelve thousand and five hundred dollars belonging to his grand lodge to fade away forever. It seems that at the meeting of the grand lodge at Evanston, Illinois, last October that Col. Auter reported that he had on hand three thousand and five hundred dollars belonging to one of the many branches of the grand lodge. Just as soon as he had finished reading his annual report Hon. Edward D. Green, who has handled hundreds of thousands of dollars belonging to the Knights of Pythias without the loss of one penny, moved that Col. Auter be instructed to turn the three thousand and five hundred dollars over to the treasurer at once as that was too much money to remain in the hands of any secretary, that Col. Auter had no use for so much money which did not belong to him and that he had no moral right to hold onto it so long. It appears, so it is said, that Col. S. A. T. Watkins, Col. Albert B. George and several of the other close associates of Col. Auter urged the members of the THE BROAD AX grand lodge to give Brother or Col. Auter a little more time to turn the money over to the treasurer which they did and the best cool headed judgment of Hon. Edward D. Green was trampled under the big feet of his brother members who to say the least were very short-sighted and woefully displayed their ignorance when it came down to transaction of grand lodge business right up to the handle and the final result was that Col. Auter was given more time to turn over his money to the treasurer and from time to time he continued to promise to transfer all the money in his possession to the treasurer but for some cause or other Col. Auter never flashed up the money and finally on Jan. 1, 1922, after repeated demands had been made on him for the money, he was arrested and instead of being three thousand and five hundred dollars he was shy twelve thousand and five hundred dollars, and from the meeting of the grand lodge in October to January 1, 1922, he had successfully skinned it out of nine thousand dollars more, making twelve thousand and five hundred dollars, which he raked in in easy money. It may not be true but some of the many friends of Mr. Alter contend that in order to be a real good fellow that he loaned his so-called friends large sums of money which they never returned to him; that he bought either a Paige or, a National auto for one of his beautiful married lady friends who resides on Vincennes Avenue, south of 46th Street; that he paid more than four thousand dollars for the car; that he also presented this beautiful lady with four thousand dollars in real money; that he assisted in furnishing her lovely flat in the most expensive manner and further made it possible for her to pay one hundred dollars per month rent. It is said that the lady is so loving, beautiful and charming that any real live man would readily fall for her. It does seem to us that Col. William R. Cowan, Col. S. A. T. Watkins, Col. Albert B. George, Col. L. A. Newby, Col. Claude A. Barnett, Col. George H. Walker and all of the other colonels friends and close asso- CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, JULY 22, 1922 WNFA AUTE FUL LONG NIGHT MADAM Graduate of the H.

Friday evening, July 14, Madam Antoinette Symt the Garnes, one of the most noted soprano operatic singers in this country, a highly honored graduate of the Chicago Musical College gave a class recital at Steinway Hall, Van Buren Street, near Michigan Avenue. Being the artist pupil of Prof. Edorado Sacerdote, he was the accompanist at the piano. The hall was well filled with the warm friends and great admirers of Madam Garnes, and many of the most noted lovers of music in this city helped to make up the highly fashionable audience, composed of both white and colored. When she made her first appearance she was heartily greeted and each time thereafter to the end of the program, which was as follows: Canzonetta, Haydn; O Del Mid Amato Ben, Donandy; Prayer, Wolf; Serenade, Strauss; The Song of the Bride, Rimsky-Korsakoff, (unaccompanied); Slumber Song, Gretchonini-ociates of Col.

Auter at the very time that he needed friends in the worst way, and made it possible for him to repay the twelve thousand and five hundred dollars back to the grand lodge of Knights of Pythias without compelling him to serve one day in jail. Some of the many friends of Mr. Auter maintain, although it may not be true, that Col. George and Mr. Auter were such warm friends of many years standing, that Mr. Auter was thinking about remembering the bright little son 'of Col.

It will be noted that the group of songs by those who are familiar with vocal music are the most difficult and exacting to render than any other group of songs in existence at the present time in our humble opinion. Madam Garnes displayed her greatest artistic ability in the "Song of the Bride" (unaccompanied), the "Serenade" and "God Took From Me Mine All." In those three songs she easily ran the entire musical scale on up to high C and at the conclusion of each number she was long and loudly applauded and it was perfectly evident that she possesses a clear and sweet soprano voice with extraordinary staying qualities, and that it is fully Mrs. Ella Sachs Plotz Remember Welfare Movement in Her Will The National Urban League for Social Service among Negroes is in receipt of a check for $5,000 being a bequest to this organization by Mrs. Ella Sachs Plotz, a member of the League's Executive Board, who recently died in France.

In 1919 Madam Garnes graduated from the Chicago Musical College with the highest honors, winning the Alexander H. Revell diamond medal for artistic singing and composition. In 1920 the degree of Master of Music was conferred upon her by the same musical college. For some years past Madam Garnes has been a member of the Chicago Opera Company singing in all the French, German and Italian operas which have been staged at the Auditorium for the edification of the music lovers of Chicago. Within the past few years Madam Garnes has made several trips to New York City to sing for the Black Swan records and hundreds of thousands of people in all parts of this country are perfectly familiar with her rare, sweet, soprano voice. Mr. Rosenwald invited me to go to Tuskegee and on that trip I met Mrs. William H. Baldwin. Ever since then I have worked heart and soul for the colored people to help create a better understanding between the white and black races and I feel that the very best friendships I have started through contacts made in this work." The League's budget for 1922 is $57,000. Close to $40,000 of this sum is in sight. The League now has organizations in forty-one cities—its most recent additions being Columbia and Joplin, Mo., organized by George W. Buckner of the St. Louis Urban League and Tampa, Fla.

"WHERE ANIMALS TALK" By R. H. Nassau. Published by The Four Seas Co., Boston, Mass. Price $2. Postage 10 Cents To those who are interested in African Lore this volume will be of great value. It is a collection of West African Folk. Lore tales translated from the native idiom. The tales are from the Mpongwe, Benga and Fang tribes. Many of them seem vaguely familiar as they tell of the Leopard and the Rat, the Tortoise and other animals. But there are stories that do not recall Br'er Rabbit, Bear or Fox; stories like an Arabian Night. A son goes away from his native town to get a wife. He shows kindliness to all he meets, thus gaining the good will of the animals, and is presented with a magic gourd not unlike Alladin's lamp. By means of the gourd he turns a forest into a garden in an hour, dams a river and furnishes fish for a month, and fights and conquers multitudes of his opponents. His prowess wins him the hand of the princess—only it is not put exactly that way—and he carries away his beautiful wife. His foolish brother, striving to emulate him, fails to show kindness or wisdom and gets an ugly, diseased woman as his mate. The adventure is delightful, an Arabian night in a new setting. But what is most interesting in the book is the side light that it casts on West African custom. To explain the tales we have short notes such as this: "Polite natives will neither sit uninvited in the presence of their superiors nor watch them while eating." "Sitting in a visitor's lap for a few moments is a mode of welcome." "Among native Africans, in the case of a man and his wife, even if they fight together, her father or her father or her brother usually does not interfere." There will be the description of the building of a town such as this. "And all busy. They that worked at stakes, went out to cut saplings; those that made rattan-ropes, went to cut the rattan vines; they that shaped the bamboo for building, went to cut the bamboo-palms; they that made the thatch went to gather the palm-leaves; they that set up the stakes of the house-frame, went to thrust them into the ground; they who fastened the walls, The Department of Research and Investigations, Charles S.

MARY WHITE OVER- AN OF THE BOARD DORS OF THE NACIATION FOR THE T OF COLORED fastened them; they who tied thatch on the roof, tied it; they who split the rattan-vines for tying, split them. The town was full of noise." We often hear of two drums, the common drum and the elemi, a drum made to transmit information by a system of signal strokes. Thus information travelled through Africa with extraordinary rapidity. In his preface, the author tells us how these tales are told. There are only a few skilled narrators, but these few are like great actors, and just as a play will run with us for hundreds of nights, the same people going to see it again and again, so the tales will be retold endlessly, made attractive by the dramatic use of gesture, tone and startling exclamations. "The occasions selected for the renditions are nights, after the day's works are done, especially if there be visitors to be entertained. The places chosen are the open street, or in forest camps where almost all the population of a village go for a week's work on their cutting of new plantations; or for hunting or for fishing in ponds. * * * At night all gather around the camp fire and the Tales are told, with at intervals, accompaniment of drum; and parts of the plot are illustrated by an appropriate song, or by a short dance, the platform being only the earth, and the scenery the forest shadows, and the moon or stars." It is this recital and this setting that we miss as we read these stories and we realize that we are getting about as much of what the listener in the African forest sees and hears, as we get of an opera by reading the libretto. When will the time come when we shall hear these tales on the stage with their real setting? We had a beginning in New York this winter when Simango danced in the superb African scene of the drama "Taboo." I never visit the Metropolitan museum and look at its collection of African instruments that I do not long for the day when they will be taken out of their cases and we shall hear them played, the drums will beat, the elembi will give its signal, the horns will be blown, the xylophones will be struck, and we shall have a setting for the native who, in his own language, (while as at the opera, we follow with the translation) recounts to us a story of African Lore. ticles by an employment manager on his experiences with Negro workers in northern industries, an interview with Professor Alexander A. Oldenweiser of the New School of Social Research on "Racial Theory and the Negro;" a review of recent books on the Negro and other interesting discussions of social topics. The Annual Conference of the League is to be held in Pittsburgh from October 17th to 21st. Problems of health, industry, recreation, migration and housing will be discussed by the League secretaries and other active social workers-white and coloured. A record attendance is expected.

CAN WE AFFORD TO HERALD OUR WORSE DEEDS TO THE WORLD? The writer has for several months been studying the head lines, and front page scandal in several of our leading Negro newspapers selling on the streets to white and black folk. Some of us are proud to add our might in setting forth a general summary of decency, and racial respectability. We often are taking pride in the survey of our racial advancement, and we are zealous ever to show the pure and true and the beautiful in Negro life. The papers published by others will unerringly in and out of season say the hateful things that they find to say about us and often much that is not true. Their daily publications are all out of proportion to our weekly press and can strut soiled stuff about a helpless people in foreign language that we might never be able to interpret. I believe our people should cry down this kind of imbecile rottenness that our big newspapers are scheeching and scheeing at the top of their columns about some underworld devilry unfit for children to read, or our wives and sweethearts to know. They call it news. It is nothing but muck of the filthy variety and we are chagrinned every time we see these hellish tirades and anathemas hurled at the race by big gutted incendiaries who are the only ones benefitted. Making money, yes making hell and briststone for their own suffering people. Of course there will always be A. [Name] [Name not visible] HON. EDWARD D.

In God's name, how can a fight be made in behalf of the race if we are telling the world in advance that we are not worthy of decent consideration. Newspapers published by Negroes should be clean and unoffensive even in the sight of God.

LYNCHING RECORD FOR FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 1922 Tuskegee Institute, Ala. — Twelve of thirty lynchings in the United States during the first half of the year were recorded in Texas, according to a statement of the Department of Records and Research of Tuskegee Institute. Mississippi was second to Texas with seven lynchings, while four were reported from Georgia. Arkansas had two lynchings and one each was reported from Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Oklahoma and South Carolina. The number lynched during the period is six less than for the first half of 1921 and eighteen more than the number recorded for the first six months of 1920. Of those lynched two were white and twenty-eight Negroes. Eleven of those put to death were charged with attacks upon women and nineteen were charged with other offenses. Five were burned at the stake and three were first put to death and then their bodies burned. Four of those lynched in the year 1921 were burned at the stake and three were first put to death before their bodies were burned. THE COMMITTEE NEVER RETURNED John Wanamaker was waited upon by a committee of Colonel ministers. Colored people in a city where 150,000 of the race lived wanted that America's greatest retailer employ some colored clerks, bookkeepers, etc. Mr. Wanamaker said. "It is true, as you say, that my stores. are supported a good deal by colored people, and I appreciate it. When they come in here they are served and charged just the same as any other people and they would not come in here if I did not give them what they wanted at the price they feel is right. As far as employing them in the capacities you mention, I will make a proposition with you: this committee can go out from here and every member of your race employed in a given capacity by any or all of you I will employ two." Nothing more has been heard from the committee. CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, JULY 22, 1922 CHARLES E. (BETTER) STUMP, THE REGULAR TRAVELING CORRRESPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AX, HAS BEEN GREATLY ENJOYING HIMSELF DOWN IN NORTH CAROLINA, GEORGIA AND IN OTHER PARTS OF THE SOUTH. write to you last, I was in Chicago, but you see I am today back in North Carolina. I have been going some. I was under Dr. G. C. Hall for a few days, and I tell you he kept me in Chicago for a few days, because of my physical condition. In other words, the bugs had made an attack on my head, and he was trying to get rid of them. He worked and worked, and when he had about gotted the head in shape, he offered a prayer, gave me a five dollar bill and told me I could go to Georgia. It was a nice trip from there to Indianapolis, Ind., where I found some of my friends—in fact there was a delegation of ministers there to see me go through the city. Revs. S. B. Butler, W. J. B. Westbrooks, C. H. Johnson, and others. They wanted to know about California, and the Nationalist Baptist convention. I informed them that the people were ready and the convention was going out there rain or shine, and they declared that they were going. They will go to Chicago, and from there over the Santa Fe. On to Louisville, found W. H. Steward, and his family looking for me, and they made me welcome to their home. Only a short time was spent in town, for I left that night for Cincinnati, then, the next morning, for Atlanta, making it to Albany, Ga., and from there to Brunswick, reaching that place 9:30 Monday night, and found them in the church hearing big welcome addresses and responses. I was made welcome. I have made some new friends. Dr. G. N. Stoney made me welcome to the grand lodge. He is at present the grand master of exchequer—you note I said at present, for they have declared that he is just the man to succeed General Hutto, and I believe them. He is as I have told you from time to time, and will not go over it now. I have mentioned to you the name of Mrs. Mary Nelson Jones, and I am here to tell you that she is one of the most remarkable women of the race. She belongs in the class of Sojourney Truth ( Amanda Smith, Harriet Tubman. She is not a college graduate, but believe me she is a graduate from the University of Common Sense, and she has the highest degree that the institution can confer. She is a good woman, an honest woman, and a leader of women. Her whole life is spent for the protection of young girls, for the uplift of the unfortunate. She is ready to contribute to those in need, and I wish you could just step into her home and you would think that she is running an orphanage. No worthy orphan whom appeals to her for help is turned away. Her mission in the world seems to be to help those who need help. Every cent she earns goes not for self, but for others. She is a consecrated woman. It was indeed a pleasure to be with a great woman like Mrs. Mary Nelson Jones, of Augusta, and I must tell you that she has some strong women to hold up her arms in leading this great army of women. I had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Willie G. Hill, of Savannah, who is receiver of deposits. I don't know just what that big name is, but I do know that she holds the money belonging to this grand organization. She is a woman who makes and holds friends. Mrs. Grant, another wonderful character, District of Columbia, but for the Calanthe Order. She is a wonderful woman and a great talker. I will have to tell you about others another time. Are you ready for the meeting of the National Negro Business League in Norfolk, August 16? If not you had betted get ready. It's going to be one of the largest attended meetings in the history of the order, and they are arranging for a great program. The National Press Association will meet there, the National Bankers Association, the National Insurance men and other interests of the race will be there including the Funeral Directors, and the Bankers. If you want to know and see these men be, at the League. Then will follow the meeting of the National Baptist Convention in Los Angeles. Baptists will be there from all parts of the world and some people who are not Baptists are going to be there with the Baptists. I know of several Methodist ministers who are going to attend this meeting. Tell your friends that while I am not well, yet, Dr. Hall says I am out of danger if I will just be careful for a few weeks. * Get ready for the National Convention of the Allen Christian Endeavor League in Chicago. People are getting ready to be there. It will be one of the greatest things ever pulled off by Methodists in this country. It is the work of the African Methodist Episcopal church. I think I will have Kittrell, N. C.—"Father, I am your son, have mercy," are the last words uttered by general G. R. Hutto, Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of Georgia, and at 6 o'clock Friday morning, July 14, he returned home to his Father, thus taking from the Knights of Pythias one of the greatest leaders in the order, and robbing the race of a great man, and the widow of a husband, friend and pal, and the son of a father. The Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias of Georgia, met Monday, July 10 in the city of Brunswick. This was the time for the welcome addresses, and Shiloh Baptist church was crowded from altar to door, and several hundred people were unable to get inside of the church. I was there and reached there a little late, but was ushered in the back door. Grand Chancellor Hutto, presided, and presented with the gavel, made a great talk, and after the Mayor of the city had spoken, and the response was made by Prof. Hunt, then he turned the gavel over to Mrs. Mary Nelson Jones, the Grand Worthy Councillor. He returned, made some announcements and then retired for the night, Mrs. Jones presiding the rest of the meeting. Tuesday morning, he called to order the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias, which was opened in due form, and the business was taken up. Committees were appointed, and he made some remarks. It was apparent that he was a sick man. He was full of life and vigor, and like all ambitious men, did not desire to give up. The day's work was finished about 2 o'clock and they adjourned for dinner, and then it was followed by the parade, and the conferring of some kind of degree which they get at the grand lodge. Wednesday morning, the grand lodge opened again in due form, but it was not all in due form. Grand Chancellor said that he felt it was his last message to the Knights, and it was a great message. He was not able to read it himself, but it was read by Bishop William Decker Johnson of Plains, and you know it was read. It took up every phase of the work, and told of te condition of the order in every department. He showed what had been accumulated, what was on hand and all claims paid up to the minute. A strong appeal was made for the Calanthe, the women of the order—in fact he took up the cause the women of the race. It was truly a valedictory. For after he had finished, then the men who desired office, those who felt that it was their time broke loose, and the officers were elected, and grand lodge closed until the next morning. They had to carry, the Grand Chancellor to his room, but no one thought that he was going to come out no more, but that was the case. Three doctors went with him, and they used everything within science and medicine to keep him on earth, but without success. All Day Thursday he lingered between life and death, and the only thing you could recognize was "Father, I am your son, have mercy." By his side was that loving wife, and faithful son, Drs. Butler, Turner, Stoney, Buggs and other friends. But Friday morning the death angel came and bore him to his Father. There was indeed sadness. Because of his physical condition, the grand lodge closed Thursday noon, and you could see men standing around on the streets in cluster, talking about the serious condition of one of the greatest men in Georgia. General Hutto, was born in Aiken, S. C. He was about 55 years old. He took time to prepare for his life's work. He was well educated, and for a number of years was at the head of our public schools of Bainbridge, Ga., where he helped many boys and girls to see the light. Right by his side was his wife, who is a well trained woman, and a fine teacher. About 12 years ago he was elected at the head of the Knights of Pythias, succeeding Grand Chancellor Creswell, who died. He has done great things to advance the order, and had many friends. He was reliable, he was honest, he was true to his race. He was a student of human nature and a born leader of men. He was a lover of home. To his wife and son, he was pal. They were friends and companions, and loved together in love like three little children. He has been failing in health for several years. Last year, the grand lodge gave him a trip to Europe, hoping that he would be fully restored to health. He was buried from his late home in Bainbridge last Tuesday afternoon. I am told that thousands of people were present to pay tribute to a great leader who had fallen. When I took my pen in hand to M. HON. GEORGE F. HARDING, JR.

JEWELRY FOR SUMMER WEAR High-Colored Stones Have Co. for Daytime; Pearls in First Place for Evening. Pearls are having a real place in the sun just now! High-colored stones of one sort or another appear in jewelry for daytime wear, but for evening pearls seem to have first place. The fancy is for various things to match—a pair of dangling earrings, a hair ornament, a bracelet, and a string of beads for the neck, all to be worn with a dainty summer evening gown. Earrings are shown in the greatest variety of styles, the very long tassels being in high favor, as well as single, double or triple sets of hoops. One hair ornament shown is distinctly interesting for the bobbed-haired miss. It is a real cap made of pearls strung on fine wires and intertwined to fit the head. Pearl bracelets, consisting of one or more strings of pearl beads, are very dainty on a pretty white arm, but the arm must be pretty, and it must be white. A sunbursted wrist circled with pearls could hardly please the eye. In jewelry for daytime wear the bright-colored stones share honors with black and white in combination or singly. Black jet necklaces and earrings are in high favor, and ivory, either carved or plain, is popular. Crystal jewelry is also very popular. Most women who go in for this popular-priced jewelry indulge the taste to the extent of having such an array of it that any frock may have its own particular accessories, and certainly this seems the thing to do if it is to be worn at all. Ornamental girdles continue to be popular, some of the more practical ones of suede or plain leather having decidedly ornate clasps fashioned of colored stones. PARASOL AND HAT TO MATCH Sets May Be of Any Material Desired; Checked Gingham Is Popular This Season. Parasol and hat to match is a decidedly approved summer style. They may be of any material fancy may dictate. For a practical set of this sort checked gingham is playing a strong role, and when this fabric is combined with organdie in white or color some fetching things may be produced. Parasols of chiffon, lace, organdie and silks galore are featured this season, and all sorts of novel and interling trimmings appear on these sunshades. One dainty parasol recently seen was trimmed at the edge, half way up and at the point where it was joined to the frame with curled ostrich. Another was fringed with monk fur. A white silk sunshade was finished at the edge with a dainty garland of field flowers. Such a parasol could be carried effectively by the bridesmaid or mould of honor at a summer afternoon wedding, big drooping hats to be similarly decorated and field flowers to be used for the bouquets. Fancy stills of all sorts, either in all-over or bordered patterns, are being used for more practical parasols or umbrellas. Still Fashionable Both the bended bags and the jade jewelry have retained their popularity and for the same reason, because of their beauty. The latest head bags are of the drawstring type, not the sort with stiff frames, but the kind that can be pulled together in a little pucker at the top and they swing easily from the wrist. Many of them have Indian symbols as designs and little funnel-shaped stars or tassels at the back. Not All So Bad Unusually candid is an advertising merchant in Lennox, S. D.

Georgette Crepe Is Close Rival for Dressy Afternoon Wear—Sheer Fabric Latest Novelty. White crepe de chine dresses are often bound at the neck, edge of sleeves and the bottom of the skirt with bands of white velvet ribbon. In addition to the large motifs of lace one prominent Paris dressmaker is also using very narrow black lace insertion in the form of motifs on white crepe de chine dresses. She rakes tiny rosettes, also of self-materials, which are appliqued in bands to form trimmings. This maker continues to use the circular cut in many of her skirts. She has not deviated from this idea in spite of the fact that many Paris dressmakers have gone back to straight styles. No one style of sleeve characterizes her line. Many of her evening dresses are entirely sleeveless, while day dresses often have short, tight-fitting, set-in sleeves; still other models have large flowing bell sleeves. As a new afternoon material she has gone back to the old-fashioned black alpaca, of which she makes many tailored two-piece and three-piece suits. She also emphasizes the three and two-piece crepe de chine tailored suit. One of the new points is a puffed collar which one sees on both dresses and suits. These puffed collars are particularly lovely on her dresses which have vertical band trimmings, in which instance the vertical lines are continued on the collar. She also A Hand-Made Crepe de Chine Dress Showing Venetian Ladder Work. uses fine hemstitching, fine tucking and narrow cire braids for the continuous vertical trimming on these dresses with puffed collars. The crepe de chine dress shows no sign of wane. The georgette crepe is a close rival for dressy afternoon wear, but crepe de chine is pre-eminent from a standpoint of general use. The latest novelty is a sheer fabric which will be used as a fall novelty to replace the cotton hand-made dresses of the summer. Dresses made of this wool crepe are beautifully hand-drawn in patterns exactly matching those noted in crepe de chine and cotton volles. RADIUM FOR HOUSEHOLD USE Serves to Mark Milady's Slippers Dark Corners, Telephones, Door Knobs, Pull Chains. Bedroom slippers that can't get lost are the latest contribution to woman's comfort. These slippers are made of silk and have a radium button or buckle which shines luminously in the dark. The universal propensity of bedroom slippers to stray under the bed is now robbed of its terrors, since, even in the dark, the mother who has to get up at night can immediately lay her hand on the slippers, guided by the little beacon lights. This is only one of the ways in which radium is a friendly servant in the house. It lights up dark corners on staircases and in halls. It illuminates the telephone mouthpiece, the door knob and the fire extinguisher, so that these articles may be unerringly located at night when perhaps every moment counts and there is no time to turn on the lights. There is no wild groping for pull chains or frenzied searching for switch buttons where radium is used to indicate these important places. Children's Styles Three-piece frocks, fashioned much on the same general lines as the three-piece or dress and coat or cape frocks for grownups, are shown for small girls. The fancy is to have coat or jacket and lower part of the dress of one material, with upper part of frock in contrasting fabric and color, the coat or cape usually being lined with lighter silk matching this part of the dress "A Roland for an Oliver." This phrase really means "tit for tat." Roland and Oliver were two famous knights who were equal in heavenry and knightly valor. They are said to have fought for five days without either gaining any advantage. CHICAGO, ILL., SATU RDAY, JULY 22, 1922 NEWS ITEMS FROM EARLING- TON, KENTUCKY Mrs. Nora Lee, of 5259 Dearborn street, Chicago, has been visiting her sister and brother, Mr. and Mrs. John Porter, of Earlington, Ky., the past three weeks. She reports a splendid time. Mr. and Mrs. Shelby Carlisle, of HopKinsville, Ky., entertained Mr. and Mrs. John Porter, Mr. and Mrs. Wiley Lowry, Mr. Starkey Carlisle, of Earlington, and Mrs. Nora E. Lee, of Chicago, at dinner Sunday at their beautiful home. The dinner had been prepared by the young hostess and justice was fully done by those present. After dinner the entire party motored over the city to show the visitors the points of interest. The colored high school is a beautiful building lately erected. Mrs. Carlisle is one of the teachers of the city schools. Providence, Kentucky, is a very thrifty little city. One section of the city belongs to the colored people. They have all of their own businesses and it looked more like State Street around 47th than any place. Mr Rodger Cabell is conducting an up-to-date drug store and soft drink parlor. The people own their own homes and automobiles. Money is plentiful. Mrs. Lee has been entertained at teas and luncheons this week at the homes of Mrs. Rose Garrett, her cousin, Mrs. Ella Brown, Mrs. Della Atkins, Mrs. Abernathy, Mrs. John Porter, and Mrs. Sarah Osborne. So many good things have come her way in "Old Kentucky." Madisonville is another splendid little city. The people are very prosperous. Their grand lodge was in session and the city was full of visitors, from all parts of Kentucky. COLORED WOMEN WILL MEE IN RICHMONT AUG. 4-11 Richmond, Va.-The fifteenth annual convention of the Virginia State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs will be held August 4 and 5 in the chapel of Hartshorn Memorial College in Richmond, according to President Janie Porter Barrett and Secretary Ellen F. Gray. The executive board of the federation will meet on Thursday evening, August 3, at 8 p. m. The National Association of Colored Women's Clubs will open on Sunday, August 6, and close on August 11. Hallie Q. Brown, of Wilberforce, Ohio, national president, and other prominent women of the national federation, have been invited to speak at the Richmond meeting. POPULAR POLICE OFFICER Officer John Dohney, who has for some years been stationed in the city council committee rooms and who knows all of the leading and most prominent politicians in chicago, was recently promoted to a police sergeant, and Officer Dohney wears his new stripes and new honors with becoming modesty. There is one thing that can be truthfully said in favor of Officer Dohney and that is that he never prowls around the city council committee rooms with a big chip on his shoulder looking for trouble and he always conducts himself like a real gentleman and that is one reason why he is extremely popular with all of the city fathers and with the big politicians who frequent the city council committee rooms. He continues to receive the congratulations of his many friends over the new police honors, which have been conferred upon him. BRIG. GEN. DENISON, RANKING COLORED OFFICER, RETIRES Brig. Gen. Franklin A. Denison, highest ranking colored officer in the United States and the first of his race to command a regiment, has been retired at his own request, according to announcement by Adj. Gen.

All the shades of purple are to be intensely fashionable this summer in outdoor garb. Purples, violets, lavender, orchid and mauve are replacing the strong yellow tones which run riot a year ago. In the exclusive shops violet silk sweaters pose beside silk ginghams of checked lavender and white; and there are enchanting pastime hats of purple straw trimmed with bunches of parma violets, for wear with violet homespun suits and with frocks of lavender handkerchief linen. Now to wear any shade of purple successfully one must be either vivid and dark in coloring—with clear skin and dark hair and eyebrows; or etheral if the blonde type. Sallow brunettes and faded blondes are at their very worst in any shade of violet, mauve or lavender. So every woman who bankers after a purple outfit is looking to her complexion these days. There is something in the very suggestion of lilac or lavender that calls up a thought of unusual daintiness and rather spiritual loveliness. Imagine a ruddy-faced fat woman in mauve or orchid. Or a thin, sallow-faced woman in a hat heaped with violets. To wear violet or any of its shadings one must be youngish and fale-skinned and dainty, or of that elderly type which has daintiness and grace combined with silvery hair and a complexion not time or weather beaten. If you want to look poette in lavender this summer, begin now and diet. Avoid butter and cruy and let up a bit on red meats. And never think of chocolate in candy or cake or sundaes. Consume plenty of fresh salads and fruit. Drink milk rather than coffee. Take salted nuts instead of dessert—you'll be just as well satisfied. And you'll see your face taking more delicate contours almost immediately—and a sweeter wafer. Try to be in bed by 10 o'clock at least three nights' week—this to make your eyes brighten and more soft and liquid as your eyes are. And give a little personal attention to the skin. Winter with its harsh winds, its late hours and lack of fresh air, its heavy, rich foods, and the lack of perspiration through cold months when one lives mostly in dry, artificial heat, has taken its toll out of the complexion. It needs warm water and cleansing cream every night; and perhaps—if one is over 30—a good tissue cream three times a week. Stroke the cream gently over and under the eyes to remove the puffy, baggy look caused by late hours, and stroke upward from the chin to coax away any tendency toward sagging and resultant "jowls" that spoil the delicacy of contour that becomes violet tints. POPULAR GINGHAM FROCK Oblivious Nothing can compete with the gingham frock for morning wear. This is one of lavender and white check. SUMMER TUB SILK DRESSES Shirting Material is Being Used; is Also Suitable for Dresses for the Children. Tub silk dresses are in vogue this summer, and while washable crepes are much to the fore, perhaps the most practical and least expensive of these dresses are made of shirting silks. The same silks that are usually sold for men's shirts are being bought in large quantities by women for their own apparel, and dainty and serviceable dresses for children are also made of these shirting silks. Whether for children or grownups, tub silk dresses are usually made on some what plain or tailored lines, with no ruffling or bourbon effects. Piphons or bindings of ribbon or fabric in contrasting color provide the popular trimming touch, if trimming is used at all. First Use of Form "Yankee?" The term Yankee, according to Bom-baugh, is not Indian, but Dutch, and means to snarl and quarrel. It was applied by the burghers of New Amsterdam to the invaders from Connecticut. M Feathers are employed in almost unexpected manner on this original parasol. A double ruching of sifk follows the outline, whitens beautifully blended flowers adorn one corner. The orchid hat is embroidered in wool. THE FRENCH AND ORGANDIES Fabric Promises to Have Definite Revival; Picturesque and Smart Designs Hold Over. It is at Cannes that the really warm weather fashions, originated in Paris, are first seen, and judging from the opening season there, avers Good Housekeeping Magazine, one of the most interesting features is that organdie is going to have a very definite revival. In France, organdie has two moods—the picturesque and the smart. In its former mood, we find it in dainty summer dresses in white or colors, with flounced or "petal" panelled skirts below a simple, short-sleeved corsage. It is girdled with gold or silver ribbon, flower wreaths or beads, and one occasionally sees the white organdie frock with a "sweet blue ribbon" at the waist. Then, again, it becomes a party to the Parisienne's love of the unexpected, and joins forces with black felt and becomes a typically Parisian hat. A very smart costume had a white organdie overblouse, with an underslip of green crepe marocain of which the plain wide celt was also of crepe marocain and caught with a large gold buckle. The variations of the organdie mode are many and extend to the entire wardrobe. Hats made wholly or partly of the same material are worn with these organdie frocks, in either matching or contrasting colors. Many wide picture hats are made of white or colored organdie, and a new departure is the black organdie hat, trimmed with great flowers made of soft, brilliant-colored quills, clusters of bright quills, or huge, soft artificial flowers. Many have the shirred brim, which is peculiar in that it may be pulled or shaped anew each time it is worn—the stiff shirring holding it in position. Lanvin features great flowers of tinted organdie, on hats of crin or crepe de chine, the crisp petals being formed with the greatest precision. Organdie is also used in the unusual collars, cuffs, vest and sleeves, which one sees on many of the kasha or serge frocks to which the Parisienne is still faithful, and is the inevitable accompaniment of the linen frocks one sees at the resorts. MUSLIN FOR GIRLS' DRESSES Unbleached Material Splendid for Play Frocks; Various Embellishments Are Available. The practicability of unbleached muslin needs no alibl, and is therefore easily understandable as a medium for girls' play frocks. This obvious quality—which does not make for hand-someness—is entirely overcome by the use of delightful embellishments, such as cretonne applications, worsed embroideries and tinted linen applications. One firm showed a group of these dresses, which lay their origin to Paul Poiret. The dresses included a number that were made for fourteen-year-old girls, and, like the smaller sizes, also showed bloomer attachments. Large motifs of cretonne patterns, such as birds, flowers and trees, are cut out and applied to the dress, which is of the simplest slip composition, worn with and without belts. Worsted stitching is frequently introduced, forming a line of continuity in the applied figures. One model introduced a motif worked out in painted linen. Extremes in Buttons. Buttons run to extremes for next fall, both in price and size. The trade is buying either very expensive or very cheap types, and either very fancy or very plain buttons. Celluloid is generally preferred to galalith because it dips to the exact color of a costume, a feature much in demand this season. A plain button said to be very good is oval in shape and has a long indentation. A smart galalith button is composed of three layers of the substance and is hexagonal in shape. Among the more elaborate buttons, a large celluloid cameo effect is meeting with success. Odd shapes in pressed and carved buttons are in good demand. Square Parasols. There are perfectly square parasols made of figured cretone or figured silk. They are especially effective when carried with a white frock. It Frequently is a Sad World.

ILLINOIS TRUST & SAV La Salle and Jackson Streete & SAVINGS BANK son Streets Chicago ILLINOIS TRUST & SAVINGS BANK La Salle and Jackson Streets Chicago No commonplace is ever effectually got rid of, except by essentially emptying one's self of it into a book: for once trapped into a book, then the book can be put into the fire and all will be well.—Herman Melleville. I have known a vast quantity of nonsense talked about bad men not looking you in the face. Don't trust that idea. Dishonesty will stare honesty out of countenance any day in the week, if there is anything to be got by it--Dickens. New York has a man engaged in what he says is a gainful occupation, who appears in the city directory as a tattooer of dogs. Inquiry reveals the fact that many owners and fanciers of dogs have their names tattooed on the dog's skin. "What a treat good-looking people are! How they ought to be encouraged when the generality is so commonplace—good looks, when probed to their essence, are as often as not a good spirit looking out through ordinary eyes, nose and hair."—The Veneerings" by Sir Harry Johnston. Much Sand Needed for Glass. A little less than 2,000,000 tons of sand is used in the United States each year in making glass, according to the experts of the geological survey. Plain sand constitutes from 60 to 75 per cent of the body of all glass, so that our eyes are full of sand most of the time, whether peering through spectacles or gazing out of the office window. Skelton Found With Dagger in Ribs With a jeweled dagger thrust between his ribs just below the heart, the skeleton of a man was found in a very ancient terra-cotta tomb by workmen while digging the foundations for a villa at Sirmione, on the Lake of Earda, Italy. Further excavations brought to light other tombs of the same kind. Sirmione, which in the days of the Roman empire was a favorite resort of wealthy Romans, is now a fishing village on a narrow promontory which projects into the lake. In the neighborhood is the so-called Grotte di Catullo, the considerable remains of a Roman building said to have been the country house of Catullus, the famous lyric poet of Rome. --- The Road to Heaven. "Dey aln 'no direct road t' heaven," said Charcoal Eph, moodily. "Hit may look lak hit, but yuh got t' go 'round a heap o' crap games wha deacons done stopped t' rest."—Richmond Times-Dispatch. Gorgets. How many staff officers wearing red tabs know that the correct name for their tabs is "gorgets"? Gorgets were worn centuries ago, when warriors were clad in shining armor. The original gorget was a breastplate. Then followed a small plate like an amulet, worn round the neck. This developed into the gorget now worn by staff officers on the collar. Tribute to Men of Woods I like very much the society of woodmen. . . . I don't know any men who are so complete masters of their business and of the secluded but delicious world in which they live. They are healthy, their language is picturesque; they live in the air and Nature whispers to them many of her secrets. A forest is like the ocean, monotonous only to the ignorant.—Disraell. Lincoln's Address. Mother had carefully spelled out Lincoln's address, inscribed on the cannon ball in front of the monument in Lincoln park . . . "All men are created free and equal," she read. . . Her small son pondered the problem for a long time, then said: "We winnen, nuvver, how is tey borned?"—Chicago American. In the sweet chorus of modern poetry one may hear a strange new harmony. It is the life of our time, evoking its own music; constraining the poetic spirit to utter its own message. The peculiar beauty of the contemporary poetry, with its fresh and varied charm, grows from that; and in that, too, its vitality is assured. Its art has the deep sanction of loyalty; its loyalty draws inspiration from the living source—Mary C. Sturgeon. Friendless Flowers. It has recently been discovered that flowers, like human beings, have friends and enemies in their own world. If certain varieties are put together in a vase some of them will droop almost as soon as they are placed in the water. Sweet peas, for instance, will not live in company. Some flowers, such as the mignonette, lily of the valley, and shirley poppy have a bad effect on almost all neighbors, and are practically friendly. Growth of Cork Trees Upwards of 50 per cent of the world's cork is produced in Spain and Portugal. The finest is grown in various parts of the provinces of Seville, Badajoz, Cadiz, Huelva, Barcelona and Salamanca. The age of maturity varies in different parts of the same tree. From eight to nine years is required by the trunk; from ten to eleven years for the first branches and from eleven to twelve years for the second branches. Sounds Travel Farthest in Darkness. Sounds can generally be heard much farther by night than oy day; sometimes ten or even twenty times as far. One reason is that the air at night contains, as a rule, few eddies and other local disturbances, such as break up the sound waves by day. Moreover, on calm, clear nights the vertical distribution of temperature near the earth is often the reverse of that occurring by day, and has the effect of bending the sound waves downward instead of upward. Will Grow in Tree. One of the first flowers to greet us in the spring and one that blooms along into early summer, is the dainty Giant or Great chickweed, says the American Forestry Magazine. One cannot pass this species of chickweed without noticing its pretty white flowers. Sometimes the seeds of this plant will find their way into some crotch of a tree. Then we have the pleasure of seeing a fine specimen flourishing quite a distance up from terra firma, and often doing better than those on the ground. City on Civilization's Outkirts, On the upper Paraná river, which separates Paraguay from Argentina, is a town called Posadas. "This" slys a traveler, Is the last outpost of civilization on the Alto Paraná, face to face with primitive forest, wild Indiana, the unexplored center of South America, and yet it is reached by a broad-gauge railroad, has a fine modern $600,000 hotel, three big department stores and the best hospital in northern "Argentina." Round about are great mate rinks and old Jesuit ruins.—New York Evening Post. CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, JULY 22, 1922 PRESIDENT MARTIN LUTHER TELEPHONE DOUGLAS 6351 Res. 3646 Grand Boul.

Woman's sphere is the home; man's fear is that the landlord will raise the rent on it.—Boston Transcript. Height of Insomnia. "Confound it! This Insomnia is getting worse. Can't even sleep when it's time to get up!" Those Icy Mountains. There's many a man in Greenland who is honest as the day is long because there they have six-month nights. You Know Where to Find Them. The inmates of penitentiaries may be down, but they are never out.—James J. Montague. Real News. Headline — "Hogs Decline." That, young students of journalism, is news, because it is unusual. It is not in the nature of hogs to decline anything. —Boston Transcript. Those Peaceful Days. The oldest inhabitant remarks, "I can remember when our casualty list was published only on July 5 instead of every Monday morning."—Christian Register. Concéit Not of Real Value Conceit may puff a man up for a moment, but never for a long time. It is a mighty poor substitute for that real knowledge of self which values at actual worth. The world has use for only the genuine article. "Jerry Builders." Jerry built may be derived from the jury mast, a temporary mast erected on ships in time of emergency. Another derivation is from the gypsy expression, jery, meaning anything contemptible. Nothing in Old Theory. Latest New York Fad. Good Looks.
