The Peo Ticket o Re-elected Sweitzer Patrick J. Cerm Commiss Frank S John F. The national or general election held on the past Tuesday, has passed into history and with few exceptions whatever the result has been that there is no way on earth to change it. It does seem, however, that the great mass of the people throughout the United States are not well pleased with the way that President Harding continues to conduct the affairs of this mighty nation at Washington, D. C.; for, in many of the states which had been figured on as being solidly Republican, the great bulk of the voters deserted the ranks of the Republican party and fell in line with the Democrats, causing five or six Republican United States Senators to go down to defeat. Here in this great city of Chicago the people are and have been more deeply interested in their own local political affairs than what they have been interested in national politics, which is eminently right or proper, for several weeks prior to the election hundreds of people wanted to know from us, how was the election going and in each and every instance we would respond that "owing to our limited observation and never being accused of knowing very much, that in our humble opinion that a mixed ticket would win out at the polls in this city and county on Tuesday, Nov. 7." Then some of the very wise gentlemen, both white and colored, would flare up, run their hands in their hip pockets and pull out a roll of money big enough to choke a horse or an ox, and shout in a loud voice: "I will bet you $100 to $50 that you do not know what you are, talking about. You should have sense enough to know that every candidate on the Democratic or the Republican ticket will be elected." And we would always softly respond that we never bet and that time would soon tell whether or not our judgment was good or bad. It is well indeed that our predictions came true, for if either the Democrats or the Republicans would have elected every candidate on their ticket they would soon become drunk with so much power that no one would be able to enter the City Hall or the County Building unless they were the abject political slaves of the big bosses of the political party controlling the political affairs in this city and county.

THE COLORED DEMOCRATS ON THE FIRING LINE. J. WILLIE WILKINS OF TEXAS HAS TURNED DEMOCRAT. HE WAS BORN A REPUBLICAN. The following article is from the Cincinnati (Ohio) Enquirer, and it simply shows that the colored people in certain sections of the country are fast waking up along political lines. That great journal recently contained the following comment on the demonstration by colored voters, among whom was J. Willie Wilkins, late of Houston, Texas, better known as "Peewee," was one, says in boldface type. The Enquirer went on to state: "What is declared to have been one of the largest and most unusual demonstrations of Negro voters in the history of Cincinnati was the parade and mass meeting last night of Negroes of the West End, who have pledged themselves to vote the democratic ticket and who are particularly partial to Cal Crim, Democratic candidate for sheriff. "It was estimated that approximately 5,000 Negroes participated in the demonstration. There were three brass bands in the procession, the line of march of which covered the territory most thickly populated by Negroes. So inadequate in size was Liberty Hall, 330 George street, where the Democratic meeting was staged, that the overflow meeting was the larger. "Banners labeled 'Down With Hynicka' and 'Hynicka's Reign Is Over' were carried through the streets and greeted with cheers. "It was reported that the disposition of the Negroes toward the Democratic ticket is racial in that it is not prompted by money or expectation of material benefit to individuals or groups. "The grand marshal of the parade was Dr. E. D. Colley, and his assistant was J. Willie Wilkins. The chairman of the indoor meetings was William Ware of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and at the overflow meeting the chairman was J. Willie Wilkins. Speakers at the meetings were Cal Crim, Emil Schlesinger, Rev. J. Franklin Walker, W. H. Hill, J. T. Crucher, Rev. William Hill, Miss Lizzie Jordan, Mrs. M. Ramey, I. Tadlock, L. Evans, John R. Quane, Democratic candidate for prosecuting attorney, and representatives of the Democratic judicial candidates Stanley Matthews and T. Washington—Archbishop Curley of Baltimore presided at the dedication of the Church of the Redeemer for Colored Catholics at New York avenue near New Jersey avenue last Sunday. The new building will accommodate 700 persons and Rev. Frank J. Tobin, white, the pastor, expects to build up a membership of 1300, drawing chiefly from St. Aloysius parish, which is also white.

S OF TEXAS HAS OCRAT. HE WAS MILICAN. D. Price, for the supreme court, and Stanley Shaffer for the court of appeals. "The dominant note of the speeches was that the Republican party in Hamilton County had proved delinquent to the Negro race and that its true interests are now with the Democratic ticket. This was coupled with a pledge on the part of the law-abiding element that dishonest voters would be kept from the polls." Referring to the same meeting the Commercial Tribune says: "A parade, consisting of four brass bands and several thousand enthusiastic Negroes, marched last night to Liberty Hall, 330 George street, where a Democratic Negro rally was held. "The number of Negroes who rallied around the Democratic standard was estimated by various spectators at 5,000 to 7,000. At an overflow meeting, which was held at Central avenue and George street, the crowd extended beyond hearing distance of the speakers. "Among the speakers who urged the Negroes to overthrow the Republican organization and vote the Democratic ticket were: Cal Crim, candidate for sheriff; Sidney G. Stricker and John R. Quane, congressional candidates; Edward C. Hauer, candidate for county prosecutor; Edward F. Peters, chairman of the Democratic campaign committee; A. E. Varley, Dr. J. Franklin Walker, Dr. R. H. Hill, Dr. E. D. Colley, Dr. W. T. Weaver, J. C. Boler, William H. Hill, J. C. Crutcher, Lizzie Jordan, Mrs. M. Ramey and I. I. Tadlock. William T. Ware, president of the Negro Improvement Association, presided." In many other parts of the country the colored people on election day were up in arms against the leaders of the Republican party and many of them voted against the Republican candidates because the United States Senate utterly refused to pass the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill prior to the late election and on account of the cowardice on the part of many of the Republican Senators.

Perhaps not less than fifty years ago the race was in the hands of the juggler, the carpet bagger politician, the ignorant preacher and in many cases still under the influence of master-class of slavery days. Unused to freedom we did not know how to be free. We had to belong to somebody, at least it seemed fitting that somebody should exercise authority over us. We were menaced at every step and on all sides. All, it appeared, were anxious to exercise that authority. We were the easy prey to anybody that had a glib tongue and could grow eloquent on the merest trifle, without the least benefit to the race in any sense whatever, and beneficial, if at all, to some rasping voiced idiot who could run his tongue. This is the situation that confronted the race when we were not a decade removed from bondage. The social juggler was of the opinion that the race would soon perish from the earth unless we were shipped back to Africa. His contention was that every blasted one of us should adopting the other alternative, become Greek and Latin scholars. Some white statesmen setting up the filmsy argument that a Negro's head was too thick to learn, and if he did he would never be able to translate Latin or conjugate a Greek verb. The carpetbagger saw showers of manna to be rained from Heaven if the Negro would just give himself up to the Republican party. The ignorant preacher had a vision of the New Jerusalem, and justified our deliverance wholly on the faithful service to the slave-master and humble prayer. Heaven was always his projective point but it was indeed hard to get to the haven of rest only by the collection table. The master class saw opportunities rife to garner in the money made by the enfranchised blacks, by letting farms to them on the shares and selling them food, clothing, wagons, horses, mules, cows, etc. Everywhere it seemed we were be tween the devil and the deap sea. To 1926 all intents and purposes the Negro was only to give all and get nothing but what was chimerical. Nothing at all offered him was of vital importance except education. He was not prepared for comprehensive knowledge of Christianity, and will not yet be perhaps for a hundred years to come. Reader, run your reflective spirit back a few decades and cast a retrospective thought upon the race's gloomy outlook. They all tell us that no race in history has made the progress we have made in fifty years. Have we been humiliated worse than any race? Have we been more cruelly mistreated than any race in history? Have we wasted billions of dollars foolishly spent to satiate an ignorant mind with crazy assurances, nonessentials and immaterialities? What has fifty years of the Republican party done for us? What is it doing for us now? What do you think it is ever going to do for us? We have about as much religion as any other race but the silver tongued clergy will not lift his voice in the land appealing to us to save ourselves from the wrath of the other races by going into all kinds of business. They are hundingers when it comes to raising huge rallies, and calling for big collections, building fine churches and lifting mortgages, etc.; when if the truth were known our race's greatest need is commercial activity. We are treated in all kinds of fashion everywhere we turn. We are far enough along in matters of human living to operate our own big stores. Do you ever find your preacher waxing eloquent on buying goods from your colored merchant, druggist, grocer, and book dealers? Do they ever lift up their Christian voices in behalf of the colored milliners? They read our newspapers; do you ever hear them orate about the Negro newspapers, and calling upon you to support the Negro press? We are physical and our needs first must be physical needs. Our spiritual needs will not go lacking if the race becomes a prosperous race. Our first seeking was Christ and the kingdom of heaven; will it ever be meek and proper for us to seek, like the Jew and the Gentile, the riches of the earth and its fullness thereof? THE BROAD AX. CHICAGO. ILLINOIS. SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 11, 1922 No up-to-date minister will take offense at this because no up-to-date minister is guilty of overlooking the primal needs of his people whether it be temporal or their spiritual welfare. What we have said in the foregoing applies to the ignorant preacher, regarded as a menace, not only tolerated fifty years ago, but well nigh worshipped. There are yet a few millions of Negroes here in America where the blinding light of knowledge yet seems foolish to their benighted souls. We are yet menaced and greatly harrassed by the wangdooodle of every character and description. Occasionally a gifted man or woman ordained to lead, gravitates into his place, and stands up manfully for the race. We cannot have enough of such men and women as there will ever be more work than they can perform. Step by step we have made progress. Millstones are multiplying, our horizon is expanding, truth, like Phoenix, is rising from its over burdened ignorance. Ambition, aspiration, backed by truth the eagle's wing and we unsatisfied fly out into the great world of sober, sensible, manly endeavor, yes to even question the stars for ourselves. Our next exhalted achievement must be a huge department store, for truly we are advancing towards the great era of banks, life insurance, and general commercial activity. BETTER RACE FEELING A movement which is working for good and not receiving the appreciation it deserves is that of promoting better feeling and clearer understanding between the white and colored people of the South. The work is being done by what is known as the Southern Commission on Interracial Co-operation, with headquarters in Atlanta. Two-thirds of the counties of the thirteenth Southern States have local organizations of representatives of the white and colored people, respectively. Kentucky has recently supplied two illustrations of the benefits which accrue. At Madisonville, when a mob formed to seek out a drug-crazed Negro who had murdered the Sheriff, the commission met and it was soon clear to everybody that the guilt was that of an individual and not that of a class. The Negroes joined in the search for the assassin. They deplored the act. Sheriff Hanson had been friendly to the Negroes and the friendship had been reciprocal. The guilty man was legally tried and legally executed. The mob had considered burning the Negro section and precipitating a race war. The saner course was followed because the inter-racial commission could 'appeal to public sentiment in a sensible way. At Corbin a Negro was wrongly accused of cutting a white man. The cutting was not even by a member of the race of the accused. The ring-leaders of the mob which formed and herded all of the Negroes of the town were sent to the penitentiary through the efforts of the inter-racial commission. Mob law is anarchy. It brutalizes the community. It lowers the standards of whites and blacks. It discourages the ambitions of Negroes to be good citizens. It is anarchy and has no place in civilization. Everybody knows these things, but it takes organization to make the knowledge effective—Louisville Times. BOOK CHAT-BY MARY WHITE OVINGTON, CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE. "THE HISTORY OF THE NEGRO CHURCH" By Carter G. Woodson, Ph.D. Published by the Associated Publishers Washington, D.C. Price, with postage. $2.15 The amount of research shown in this book of Dr. Woodson's, gives us anew a sense of his painstaking industry. We did not realize that so many records could be gathered together of a church that was sometimes only a group of ignorant slaves led by an unlettered preacher, one of themselves. These Negro converts, Christian martyrts as truly Wyckliffe and Huss, "were whipped until they stood in puddles of blood drawn by the lashes inflicted upon their bodies, while others, stricken down by heavy blows or subjected to mortal torture, went to their death rather than cause to bear witness for Jesus." By such as these, men whose voices could not be hushed, the Negro church was nurtured. And one reads with amazement of its growth, North and South, in the last hundred years. Like so many histories, the early part of this book is the best. (There are those who say of Wells' "Outline of History," that it falls off when man comes on the scene.) The story of the early missionaries, white and black, are significant. In the West Indies, one learns that these preachers were popular with the slaveholders since they never taught the slave to expect freedom, but counseled him to keep the steady course of duty and not to offend against the laws of man. In the United States, however, the early Baptist and Methodist, preaching to black and white alike, attacked all evils, among their slavery. They were not allowed to preach for long. The story of the Negro church as it developed out of the white church and grew in independence is told in much detail. It is not always an attractive story, there is bickering and DELTA SIGMA THETA ENTERS SORORITY HOME AT HOW- ARD UNIVERSITY Significant. Start Forward by Negro College Women Washington, D. C. — Another step forward was made in the Negro collegiate world when the Alpha Chapter of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority at Howard University, on the first of November, opened the doors of its new Sorority home at 603 Howard place, N. W., Washington, D. C. The Sorority home is on the University campus and affords to the members of the Sorority who are privileged to occupy it convenient access to the University buildings and grounds and opportunity to enjoy both the advantage of taking part in every phase of student life at Howard and the pleasure of the close contact to be experienced in living together in their own home. After having made quite extensive preparations, the girls of the Delta Sigma Theta now find themselves in a beautifully appointed Sorority home, a place where each member of the organization may go and feel that she will find companionable friends at all times. Dining hall arrangements are also provided in the home and other conveniences conducive to the comfort of the girls have been supplied. In addition to the cultured discipline which the members of the Sorority observe, in keeping with the ideals of their organization, the girls are fortunate in having Mrs. Ernest Martin, house mother, and Miss Lucy D. Slowe, of women of the Howard University, to look after their interests and advise them in all necessary matters pertaining to the conduct of the home. The officers of the Alpha Chapter of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, which has undertaken the commendable work of conducting a Sorority house, are Mrs. Cathryn G. Robinson, president; Miss Eleanor Harper, vice-president; Miss Arnetta Taylor, secretary; Miss Ethel Jones, corresponding secretary; Miss Martha Jones, treasurer, and Miss Virginia Ruffin, chaplain. In all the work which has been done in connection with the arrangements for the Sorority home for the Alpha Chapter of the Delta Sigma Theta, much encouragement and help by contribution and otherwise have come from the honorary members of the organization. Among the honorary members of the Sorority living in Washington who were donors and gave other assistance in providing the home were: Mrs. A. H. Glenn, Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, Mrs. George W. Cook, Mrs. Emmett J. Scott, Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham, Mrs. D. W. Woodard, and others. Much assistance has also come from the members of the Beta-Beta Chapter, the graduate chap- jealousy and pompous intolerance. But there is always growth. One sees, too, the inevitableness of the break with the white denominations, that first demanded acquiescence with slavery and later that the black accept the white South ideals regarding his status. The dig at the "philanthropist." Thomas Jesse Jones, who has helped many bootlicking Negroes into office, and who kept Max Yergan from going as a missionary to his own race in Africa, makes us realize why the Negro church has kept an eye always open with which to watch the sanctimonious whites. In speaking of the schools and seminaries, started for the Negroes in the South, we learn that these Negro institutions which have separated and learned to supply their own needs have made a step far in advance of those dependent on the whites. "In this day, when the northern philanthropists are either withholding their donations to Negro schools or restricting them to Hampton or Tuskegee, it is difficult for some of these establishments (those connected with the whites) to eke out a subsistence, while the independent Negro schools, having had years of experience in developing a following, find their prospects growing brighter from year to year." Dr. Woodson quotes, among others, the National Training School for Girls, of which Miss Nannie Burroughs is the head, and the Virginia Theological Seminary and College under the direction of Dr. R. C. Woods. I have been glad to notice that Dr. Woodson does not use the colloquialism, "Rev. Jones," or whatever the name may be, but always says "the Rev. Mr. Jones." The use of reverend in place of mister was common at one time with both races but it is not used now, save perhaps in the far South, only by the colored. The book has an excellent index and contains pictures of many colored clergymen of the past and of today. ter of the Sorority located at Washington and composed of members of the Sorority living in Washington who have graduated from Howard and other schools where there are chapters of the organization. At present the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority has 19 chapters. It was organized at Howard University in 1913 and since its organization its influence has been carried to many of the leading coeducational institutions throughout the United States. Of the 19 chapters in the Sorority, three chapters are occupying houses. It is most interesting to note the rapid growth and the helpful influence of such fraternity organizations in the life of the Negro college women. THE 1921-22 NEGRO YEAR BOOK NOW ON SALE The 1921-22 Negro Year Book, is now ready for distribution. In this sixth annual edition not only has much new material been added, but the information contained in previous volumes has been revised, rewritten and brought down to date. Over one hundred pages are devoted to a review of the events of 1919-21 as they affect the interest and show the progress which, in the reconstruction period since the close of the World War, the Negro is making. The Negro Year Book is the standard work of reference on all matters relating to the Negro and is the most extensively used compendium of information on this subject. It circulates widely in every part of the United States and to a considerable extent in Canada, the West Indies, Central America, South America, Europe, Asia and Africa. The success of previous years has demonstrated that there is a need for a book which provides in an inexpensive form a succinct, comprehensive and impartial review of the events which affect the interests and indicate the progress Negroes are making. The Negro Year Book meets this need and at the same time furnishes a compact but comprehensive statement of Historical and Statistical facts arranged for ready reference. It is at once a permanent record of current events, an encyclopaedia of Historical and Sociological facts, a directory of persons, and a bibliographical guide to the literature of the subjects discussed. The Negro Year Book has the most extended and comprehensive bibliography which has been put out on the Negro in the United States. In addition to the topically arranged bibliographies at the end of the book, the reader will find throughout the volume, in connection with special topics, further references to the subjects discussed. This is helpful to the student who wishes to pursue further the investigation of any particular subject. The 1921-22 Negro Year Book, in [Picture of a man in a suit with a tie]. HON. ALFAR M.

HOWARD ELEVEN SWAMPS MORGAN COLLEGE BY SCORF OF 52 TO 6 (Special to The Broad Ax) Washington D. C.—The Howard University football eleven won an easy victory over Morgan College, of Baltimore, Md., in the game played between the two schools on the Howard campus, Saturday, Nov. 4, the score being 52 to 6. The "Blue and White" team secured a touchdown in the first minute of play at the opening of the game, and made three additional touchdowns in the first quarter. Two of the four tries for extra points were successful, one being gained with a line play. The Howard varsity regulars were too strong defensively for the Morgan College eleven to make any headway, but the visitors managed to break through by use of a forward pass for a touchdown when the Howard second-string men were in action during the third quarter. The game began with the kickoff by Howard to the Morgan boys, who brought the ball to their 15 yard line. The visitors, upon the second play for gains, fumbled and Doneghy, fullback for Howard, recovered the ball and took it across the Morgan goal line for a touchdown. A drop kick was attempted by Quarterback Carter, but failed. Howard again kicked off to Morgan. The visitors this time succeeded in bringing the ball up to their 30-yard line. After three trials for gains, they were compelled to punt, the ball being brought back by How- PEL 107 P. L. C. HON.

A successful forward pass by Howard landed them on Morgan's 30-yard line. A line play was then tried, which resulted in a 12-yard gain. Another line play with Melton, left halfback for Howard, carrying the ball, resulted in a touchdown. Carter again failed in the attempted drop kick. For the third time, Howard kicked off to Morgan. The visitors were stopped upon the run back with the ball on their 15-yard line. Evidence of the bewildered state of mind of the Morgan College boys was seen in the first play tried. In this play the attempt was made to kick out but upon the throw from Morgan's center the ball went wild, striking the goal post and landing in the hands of a Howard player. By the use of two line plays, the ball was worked from the 5-yard line across Morgan's goal line for another touchdown, being taken over by Melton. A successful forw from Carter to Doneghy gave the extra point. Howard this time permitted Morgan to make the kickoff. The ball was brought up the field by Morgan's 20-yard line. Upon the first play Doneghy took the across for the fourth touchdown in the first quarter. By the use of a line play with the ball in Carter's hands the extra point was secured. Morgan was again permitted to kickoff. Howard brought the ball to about the center of the field. When the referee's whistle blew, announcing the end of the first quarter, Howard had brought the ball to the Morgan boy's 20-yard line. Just before the close of the first quarter, Howard substituted a complete team except for the quarterback who remained in the game. With the beginning of the second quarter, Webster substituted for Carter as quarterback. After a couple of line plunges the ball was taken from Morgan's 20-year line, where the play began, across the visitor's goal line for a touchdown by Whitted, How- THE NEW YORK TIMES Judge of the Probate Court of County 86 J.P.E.D. HON. ROBERT M. SWEITZER ard substitute half back. A drop kick was tried by Jackson, substitute fullback, which proved successful. Howard chose to kickoff to Morgan and upon the run back stopped the visitors on their 15-yard line. The Morgan boys punted out. The ball was played up and down the field from one team to the other until the signal from the referee announced the end of the first half. The second half began with Howard kicking off to Morgan, Howard's second-string men being permitted to start the half. The visitors succeeded in bringing the ball up to their 25-yard line. After trying to make gains through Howard's line, the Morgan boys took the aerial route and succeeded in working a delayed forward pass on the second team Howard boys, which landed safely in the hands of one of Morgan's players situated some 30 yards down in the field in the clear from which place he scooted down the clear field across Howard's goal for a touchdown. A drop kick was tried for the extra point, but failed to go between the posts. Apparently this score by Morgan angered the Howard regulars for they were immediately sent in and as soon as they hit the field a touchdown was made, being secured by a Howard player recovering the ball back of Morgan's goal line, where it had landed from the kickoff by Howard. The extra point was secured by a drop kick by Carter. Morgan was permit- kick off and Howard brought back down the field into Morgan's territory. By the use of a number of plays which, within the period of about two minutes, brought them across Morgan's goal, another touchdown was registered. Melton was the carrier of the pigskin. The drop kick for the extra point failed. Howard chose to kickoff. The visitors brought the ball to their 20-yard line and lost it on downs. Within a short period the ball was again taken across Morgan's goal. This time Conte, right halfback, made a successful drop kick for the extra point. The fourth quarter found the ball in the hands of Howard after the "Blue and White" warriors had kicked off to Morgan and compelled them to punt. When the game ended the ball was in Howard's possession on Mor- [Name] gan's 20-yard line. The Morgan college boys were clearly outmatched and would hardly have scored had not Howard sent in her second-string men. Quite a large and enthusiastic crowd witnessed the game. All eyes were centered on the "Blue and White" regulars who so easily piled up the score on the visitors. Howard Positions Morgan Williams L. E. Hill Bagley L. T. Reed Nurse L. G. Fisher Holton C.

SOLDIERS IN GEORGIA Advancement Association Writes to Secretary of War Inquiring into "frequent charges" of mistreatment of colored members of the 24th United States Infantry, stationed at Camp Benning, Georgia, and asserting that the charges are such as to warrant Congressional investigation, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, has made public a letter to the Secretary of War asking for a statement from the War Department. The letter asks that the War Department state whether it is true that the colored regiment has been deprived of its arms in a community that resents the presence of colored men in United States uniform; whether the regiment has been deprived of its own colonel and placed in command of one with a bad record for brutality to colored soldiers; whether the War Department countenances advice from commanding officers to colored soldiers that they permit themselves to be called "damn THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1922 26 30 HON. JOHN F. DEVINE Re-Elected Clerk of the Probate Court of Cook County niggers" and remember first of all that they are colored. The Advancement Association's letter, which is signed by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Mary White Ovington, is as follows: "Nov. 7, 1922. "The Secretary of War, "Frequent reports have come to this office that the 24th Infantry, U. S. A., consisting of colored troops, some of them veterans of the Spanish-American and the World Wars, have been disarmed, deprived of their commanding officer, Colonel Schofield, and stationed at Fort Benning, Georgia, where they are, in virtue of their being without arms, at the mercy of every brutal Negro-hating white man. "The reports to this office of the treatment accorded these colored soldiers are such as to justify Congressional investigation into the conduct of Camp Benning, Georgia, by its present commanding officer. Before placing the matter before Congress, may we have from the War Department a reply stating whether: "1. The 24th Infantry, U. S. A., has been stationed at Camp Benning, Georgia, and disarmed? "2. The 24th Infantry has been deprived of its commanding officer, Colonel Schofield? "3. It is the policy of the War Department to countenance advice from commanding officers to sol- Re-Elected INSTALLATION OF THE NEW OFFICERS OF THE PHYLLIS WHEATLEY HOME AND THE FRAMING OF ITS MORTGAGE On Thursday evening the Board of Directors of the Phyllis Wheatley Home, 3256 Rhodes avenue, made some very important history. On that evening the mortgage, which had been running over the home for some years, was all cleared up and released by the first and second parties and it was neatly framed and adorns the wall as a living evidence what a number of self-determined women can accomplish when they put their heads together and have but one aim or object in view. In 1915 the members and officers of the Phyllis Wheatley Home contracted to pay $10,000 for the home which they now occupy and within that short length of time they have wiped out every dollar of the indebtedness against it and it will soon become a state institution. All the women connected with that movement deserve to be highly commended for the great showing which they have made. Hon. A. H. Roberts installed the new officers and Madam Bertha L. Hensley pleasantly served as mistress of ceremonies. Mrs. Mattie Johnson-Young was chairman of the refreshments committee and the following other ladies played their several other parts well in connection with the installation of its new officers and the framing of the cancelled mortgage: Mrs. Clma Johnson, president; Miss Lena L. Perry, secretary; Mrs. E. L. Davis, chairman board of directors; and Mrs. Gertrude Moore, Mrs. F. C. Blevins, Mrs. Irene Moore and Miss Beatrice Mitchell, committee of arrangements. ARRIVALS AT HOTEL IDLE WILD The arrivals at the Idlewild Hotel, 50 East 33rd street, the past week: W. F. Scott and wife, St. Louis, Mo.; diers that they permit white soldiers to call them 'damn niggers'? "4. It is the policy of the War Department to countenance advice from commanding officers to United States soldiers that they are to remember first of all that they are colored? "5. Mail from the 24th Infantry at Camp Benning is censored in order to prevent knowledge of the facts reaching the public? "It is respectively suggested that investigation of these charges be made by the War Department directly.

LEAGUE URGES RACE TO PETT HARDING ON MESSAGE Boston, Mass.—As a result of the personal audience with President Harding and what he said as to the nature of his call for the extra session which the League can say will be called soon after election, urges the race everywhere to write the President to recommend to Congress immediate consideration of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill by the Senate in his spoken or written message to the extra session.

The next longest reign was that of her grandfather, George III, who was on the throne 59 years, though he became hopelessly insane nine years before his death, and his eldest son, afterward George IV, became prince regent.

DUNN, Vice-President 5100 Federal Street French Maker Devisees interesting Garment to Be Worn With Afternoon Dresses. Many of the most important dressmakers disclaim any effort toward the sensational silhouette. To meet the demand for new styles they vary their characteristic lines by beautiful fabrics, striking colors and trimming details. Chanel has made no basic changes in the styles which she exploits. Her dresses are straightline, many of them with beautiful embroideries. She uses laces profusely. Among her prettiest models are some frocks of flowered silks, the flowers scattered over a plain background in the form of large motifs. These silks are velled with lace, giving an extremely pleasing effect. Several of her afternoon dresses are accompanied by little sleeveless jackets. Such models frequently carry Russian embroideries. The greatest change in the models made by Callot is in the colorings. There is a considerable showing of paler shades of blue and rose. She has given preference to these paler bues over the rich oriental shades which she used last season. She also used many silks in pimpadour effects. Other than in color Callot has don practically nothing new in the way of fashions. There are unusual variations of old themes. This designer uses embroideries, ribbons and laces even more profusely than she has in the past. CAPE SLEEVES ARE POPULAR Flowing Armcovering Is Shown in Many Fashion Houses; Gauntlet Cuffs Are in Evidence. Sleeves are varied and interesting they are frequently long and fitted to the arm, and they are often absent entirely from dance frocks. They have a penchant for being long, open and nanging. Cape sleeves are popular in many fashion houses, and frequently we have the addition of a long, hanging cuff. Gauntlet cuffs appear on models in nearly all collections. Worth shows them, on a black broadcloth coat, made of bright embroidery and lined with Hudson seal. Patou's new sleeve is tight at wrist and shoulder and swells a little toward the elbow. He often adds a turned-back cuff just below the elbow. Lanvin shows an immense bishop's sleeve in softert crepe de chine. THE BROAD AX 6206 S. Elizabeth Street, Chicago, Ill.
