EXTRA THE BROAD AX EXTRA C. Kamba Simango and His Wife, Both Well-Educated Africans, Speak at Hampton Institute AFRICA HAS GIFTS TO MAKE "Those Who Go to Africa Must Have Big and Generous Hearts" AFRICANS LOOK AM C. Kamba Simango, Well-Educated At Hampton AFRICA HAS G "Those Who Go to A and Genere BY WM. ANTHONY AERY Hampton, Va.—C. Kamba Simango, a native of Portuguese East Africa and a graduate of Hampton Institute, class of 1919, who has just completed a special course at Teachers College, Columbia University, spoke recently in Ogden Hall. Hampton Institute, on African forms of government, police systems, education, and physical training "Africans," he said, "in spite of the lack of highly organized police systems, succeed in apprehending wrong-doers. They follow the customs and laws which are useful to their tribes, but they do not carry their rules beyond their tribes to so-called 'aliens.'" The Lot of African Women His wife, who is a native of Freetown, Sierra Leone, and who is a graduate of the Royal College of Arts at South Kensington. England, described the affection of African mothers for their children, especially for those children that are offered in human sacrifice for the sake of bringing peace to whole tribes, and likened this affection to that expressed by other mothers who send their sons to fight in modern warfare. She referred to the hardship which is brought on African women through the government conscription of able-bodied men for forced labor. "There are today," she said, "226 different languages and over 900 dialects spoken in Africa." At another Hampton Institute meeting Kamba Simango gave, in appropriate African costume, vivid pantomimic presentations of an elephant hunt, a witch doctor's incantations, and a leopard-killing. His wife described several phases of African life, gave an African dance with piano music (originally written by Coleridge-Taylor and later arranged by Helen Hagen) which was played by R. Nathaniel Dett, and displayed specimens of native African work in brass, textiles, and basketry, which had been made by men and women who had not come in contact with outside civilizing influences. She said: **Africans Judge Persons** "The Africans need help in order to develop themselves, but they also have MR. LOUIS B. ANDERSON By Dr. M. A. Majors. The people who have ideals can always be trusted. Sometimes we fear that there is a lack of sober, serious thought in the hearts and minds of our people, and we frequently base that fear on the action and conduct of our people in former years, but it is encouraging to note the vast changes arising out of better conditions which has favored the race. Often anxiety overreaches our human limitations and we fret and worry because all people do not see and understand as we do. Occasionally we are at the awful risk of colossal tasks and ended judgment gives life to hope, while all that we have achieved in the past trembles in the balance. Of a certainty the Negro is very much like other races. We have our likes and dislikes, but it is no time for us or anybody to use spite or vent a hatred against a man who has been honored by the second city on this hemisphere. It is not even a question of personal favors or disfavors when it is brought close up for sober consideration. We have under consideration a man who has achieved distinction, won honors, a man who has proven his capabilities to serve a great city like Chicago, acting even on its finance committee, which has the powers of apportionment and appropriation of nearly two hundred millions of dollars every year. Hundreds of aldermen have aspired to the high honor of sitting on the commission. It is a great honor to the Negro race that we have on that committee a man of our own election and our own blood. Mr. Anderson has been in Chicago close on to thirty years and he has grown up to greatness and to the accomplishment of great things. He has served the people in the law department of the city government for thirty years and he knows what perhaps only a lawyer could know and important contributions which they can make to the rest of the world, especially in the fields of art and music. "Those who go to Africa must have big, generous hearts. The natives are keen at detecting all insincerity or failure to make works and deeds consistent. The African native judges individuals. He does not put many persons in a single group because of the failure or even meanness of a single individual. Africans are carefully watching American Negroes to see what they will do to help Africa." These two well-educated Africans will leave the United States in April to take up their work of missionary teaching in the Mt. Silinda School, at Melsetter in Southern Rhodesia, where they will help the native people realize some of their worthwhile gifts. Africans Make Progress That the missionaries who have gone to Africa have given the natives the best that they possessed of religion and civilization and that these missionaries continue their work of bringing out the best traits of the natives were opinions expressed by Kamba Simango before a large audience of white and colored people, assembled at Hampton Institute. He said: "We find that the African is also striving and reaching out to get those things which will develop his happiness and welfare. "In 1920, I understand, the Government of Southern Rhodesia started two industrial schools. They have tried to interest missionaries to develop industrial education to such an extent that the natives will use the material they have for commercial purposes. This is the time that we need the educated Negro to point out the way. The Government of Rhodesia is extending liberty in education. Africa is looking for intelligent Negroes to do educational work in Africa. "What Hampton Institute stands for in the United States we mean to make Mt. Salinda School stand for in Africa." understand. His rich experience and knowledge of men and affairs entitles him to our loving consideration. Unfortunately, a large majority of us are not advanced in the spirit of race loyalty, the deep appreciation of a man's qualifications to serve the whole people. Incapable of overlooking personal animosity or spite when it requires a man to meet the exigencies of urgent necessity. Louis B. Anderson has become a name in our homes that is worth to repeat to our children. All of us have an interest in that name because the man who bears it has made himself respected and beloved. He may not have done some little things for the individual as a personal favor. He may not have satisfied some greedy fellow looking for work he was incapable of performing. He may not have gotten the thing put over just as some thought it might be, but he has given Chicago diligent and noble service. We must have representation. We always-need to be represented by men with earnest spirit, determination and character. But we must be ably represented by men with great ability, always so capable that they bring credit to the race besides bestowing added luster to themselves and us. When we find that we have put a man in office that bears up as nobly as Alderman Anderson, we owe it to the race and to the body politic to keep him there. If we fail and by carelessness and a diffident spirit let into office some incompetent who will serve only himself, it will come back upon our heads as a bomerang, cursing instead of blessing us. We have no one today better able to serve as alderman and we might add there is not a man today in the council more capable and who is better acquainted with the civic life of the city of Chicago. The writer is one of those peculiar creatures that takes but little stock in individuals. We feel that our esteem for the individual should measure out the boundary of one's usefulness. If THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, MARCH 10, 1923 17-1PEQ The popular and honorable Candidate of the United Democracy for Mayor of Chicago, who feels dead sure that he will be able to put up the strongest fight of any candidate who has ever sought that honored position and that he will be able to run far ahead of his two opponents and land right square in the Mayor's chair in the City Hall, April 3. On Thursday evening Hon. William E. Dever, candidate of the United Democracy for Mayor of Chicago, who has always been considered as one of the good friends of the Colored race, was the honored guest of the members of the Appomattox Club, 632 Grand boulevard. Judge Dever was warmly received when he rose to speak and he strongly intimated that he was not afraid to let it be known that he had many warm friends among the colored people residing in all parts of this city, and from this time on to the day of the election, Tuesday, April 3. one is not able or capable of giving some kind of useful service he is not worthy of serious consideration. Chicago has within its confines many prominent men of our race. Men who from that lofty, intelligent point of view would reflect credit on any race. Mr. Anderson is among the number who has been given an opportunity and made good. He has so conducted himself that he is looked upon with a feeling akin to reverence by the white friends and friends of his race who are close enough to him to feel the pulse of his good nature and to keep uppermost in their minds the sincerity of his big heart that throbs for members of his race, low as well as high. It is always a kind word, a friendly salutation and a ready and willing spirit to go the length for you that makes people love our alderman. It is that feeling of the deepest pride in him that also makes them call him "Louie." Readers, we have tried to analyze the reasons for sober action rather than pronouncing an eulogy. But look, if you please, at this drawing. A man of medium height, strong of physique, muscular, full of vigor, energy and that genuine fellowship that all like, pleasing disposition, frank and honest of expression, with engaging features that acquaint the stranger that he stands before a real man, well balanced, whose poise in the far reaches of character and ability and character is always reassuring. Study that high forehead, large sparkling eyes, honest countenance, high cheek bones, large ears, well poised chin, all within a complexion of the red man yet richly tinged with aristocratic blood of the Virgin East Virginia. Upon his bronzed brow fate has tattooed her favorite mark of distinction and although the present age is loud in its praise of his name, has been given to a future time in whose satiate tooth will carve it for remote generations of men to read and to point to descendants in whose veins will be running red the blood of their ancestor. MR. JUSTICE WILLIAM E. DEVER that he will continue to move around among the colored people in all parts of the city; that he wants all the votes that he possibly can get in an honorable way from the colored people; that in case he is elected Mayor of this great city, he will treat them fair at all times and if they will stand by him when he needs and wants their votes, that they will receive some important representation from his hands after he gets settled down in the mayor's chair in the City Hall. When the speaking drew to an end, a reception was held in honor of Judge DELAWARE BILL DISFRAN- CHISES CATHOLICS The House of Representatives of the Delaware Legislature have recently jammed through a bill barring Catholics from voting at the school election, if their children attend parochial schools. Representative Brogan, the only Roman Catholic member of the House, did not realize the force of the bill and its effect upon Catholics, for the real reason that the bill was to disfranchise Negroes. There are a number of Negros living in the Claymont district and the bill was originally aimed at them, but it was so worded that a large number of white persons, including Catholics particularly, would be disfranchised as well. The democrats made a party issue of the bill and pledged themselves to support it, although it was unfavorably reported at the committee. Representative Brogan when he found out what had happened, announced on the floor of the House that when he voted for the bill he thought it all right and proper, "I have since learned," he said, "there is a clause in the amendment which will affect the parochial schools in the state. I want to go on record now that on Monday next within the three constitutional days allowed me. I will vote for a reconsideration of this amendment and the original bill. I am not sure now as to just what the provision of the amendment called for, but if it appears from this amendment that the tax payers of this state are going to be disfranchised because they do not send their children to the public schools, then I am certainly opposed to the bill." COHEN NOMINATION IS RE JECTED BY SENATE Washington.—The contested nomination of Walter L. Cohen, Colored Republican leader of Louisiana, to be customs comproller at New Orleans was finally defeated last Saturday by the Senate, which rejected the President's nomination. A bitter fight was made against Cohen by Southern Senators and the Republicans finally yielding, thus defeating confirmation of the Cohen nomination the second time. Dever and he very freely mingled with the colored ladies and gentlemen present, and he further declared that he was very proud of the better class of the colored people living within the broad limits of this great and wonderful city; that they are not only a great credit to the colored race but that they are a great credit to humanity throughout the world. In departing for his home, Judge Dever declared that he had spent one of the most pleasant evenings in his life. SOCIALISTS OPEN NEGRO CAM PAIGN The convention of the Young People's Socialists League at their closing session at 227 East 84th street, voted to begin a Socialist campaign among Negro boys and girls in the schools and factories of New York. They intend to include them either in circles of white members on a basis of strict equality, or to allow them to form separate groups, if it is thought advisable. A Harlem circle is expected to be formed within the next two weeks. Instructions have been given to proceed at once with the formation of branches of the organization in all the public high schools and to distribute literature explaining the principles and purposes of Socialism. Efforts are to be made first in the schools which have a large number of as the DeWitt Clinton and Stuyvesant High Schools. A fight was anticipated as result of this move, for there were present as visitors in some of the later sessions of the convention, the President and Executive Secretary of the National Safety League. They told reporters that they had come to see how the organization was run and to get information to combat the membership drive in the schools. SOUTHERN WHITE MAN IN SULTS COLORED WOMAN; IS STABBED Atlanta, Ga.—Felix Alexander, white, alleged to have been under the influence of intoxicants, is in the Grady hospital suffering from a stab wound said to have been inflicted by the male escort of a prominent Colored society woman last Monday night. According to the police Alexander walked up Peidmont avenue and meeting the couple said to the woman, "leave that Nigger and come with me." A fight ensued resulting in Alexander being stabbed. The assailant escaped. The name of the young woman has not been learned by the police. White gentlemen in the southern states must be taught to let highly respectable colored women alone and Alexander received everything which was coming to him—Editor. Ninth Annual Clean-Up Campaign to Be Observed April 1-7, 1923 In accordance with the request of the Annual Tuskegee Negro Conference and in co-operation with the National Negro Business League and other influential organizations, an invitation is extended to the following organizations and agencies to unite from April 1st to 7th, in the observance of the Ninth Annual National Negro Health Week: Daily and Weekly Newspapers, Health Journals, The United States Public Health Service, State Boards of Health, City Boards of Health, The National Medical Association, State Medical Associations, The National Tuberculosis Association, State Tuberculosis Associations, The American Red Cross, The National Association of Graduate Nurses, The American Social Hygiene Association, The National Child Welfare Association, The American Child Hygiene Association, The Child Welfare League of America, The National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, The National League on Urban Conditions, The National Clean-up and Paint-up Bureau, The Young Men's Christian Association, The Young Women's Christian Association, The National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools, The Associated Negro Press, The National Negro Press Association, Bishops and other officers of Religious Denominations, Annual Church Conferences and Associations, Secret Societies, Insurance Companies, Farmers' Conferences, Farmers' Improvement Societies, Churches, Schools and other local organizations. The Ninth Annual Negro Health Week should secure a more general interest in an understanding of health problems and health education than any which has preceded it. Results of the last annual Health Week gave great impulse to this health movement which is planned to effect the co-operation of all welfare agencies and groups of people in the reduction of preventable sickness and deaths, and the increase of vitality and resistance to disease. Such results not only lessen the misery and cost of preventable sickness and death to the family, community and the Government, but also increase the well-being, earning capacity and service of the healthy citizen to home, community and country. As was done last year, the United States Public Health Service has prepared the Health Week Bulletin. It is ready for distribution and copies of the same may be secured by application to Tuskegee Institute or to Dr. Roscoe C. Brown, the United States Public Health Service, Washington, D. C. At a meeting of representatives of a number of national health organizations, held at Tuskegee Institute, January 19th, the following program for Health Week was approved: Sunday, April 1st—Sermon and Lecture Day.

Williams wishes to heartily thank his twelve hundred and ninety-five friends or followers who so loyally supported him in his race for alderman of that ward. Mr. Williams states that in the future, if his friends wish him to run for office, they must put up some of the money to help to foot the bills. STEVENS RESIGNS Philadelphia, Pa.—On the ground that no self-respecting colored man would serve on the trustee board of Cheyney Training School, State Representative Andrew F. Stevens has sent his resignation to the governor. Prof. Robert R. Moton, head of the Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, was the honored guest last Saturday evening of the Appomattox Club. While visiting in this city, he was the house guest of Dr. and Mrs. George C. Hall, 3638 Grand boulevard. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph H.

Rev. Robert Thomas of Galesburg, Ill., will succeed Rev. Scott at Grant's. DEATH OF FRANK PREER Sunday morning after a long spell of sickness, Frank Preer, who was for a long time in business at 3503 South State street, and who was widely known to all the old time sporting men throughout the country, passed away at Provident Hospital, and his remains were shipped to Topeka, Kansas, for burial, that city being his birth place. Mr. Preer was popular with a large circle of friends in this city who greatly regret his passing on out into the next world. LEAVES FOR CUBA R. W.

HON. SAMUEL ALSCHULER HAPPILY UNITED IN MARRIAGE TO MISS ELLA KAHN. THE BRIDE AND GROOM CONTINUE TO RECEIVE THE HEARTY CONGRATULATIONS OF THEIR NUMEROUS FRIENDS OVER THE PLIGHTING OF THEIR UNDYING FAITH TO EACH OTHER. Tuesday morning the people of Chicago and in all parts of the country were pleasantly surprised to read the announcement in the newspapers that Hon. Samuel Alschuler, one of the most honorable judges of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, was on Monday happily united in marriage to Miss Ella Kahn, the highly accomplished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Felix Kahn, 4710 Grand Boulevard, after a romance and courtship extending over twenty years. Rabbit Joseph Stolz performed the wedding ceremony, tying the wedding knot good and tight. Only the relatives of the high contracting parties witnessed the ceremony. Mrs. Alschuler Is Prominent in Mrs. Alschuler has been active in philanthropic work in Chicago for many years. She was with the Associated Jewish Charities in various executive capacities for ten years, and is vice president of the Council of Jewish Women and secretary of the Winfield Tuberculosis sanitarium. She has also devoted much of her 1890 ing Recorder of Deeds of Cook the delight of his good wife, Mrs. warm friends, is rapidly recovere attack of pneumonia. HON. SAMUEL ALSCHULER Social Work time along other charitable philanthropic lines. Judge Alschuler has been in the public eye for many years and he has always been on the side of the common or the laboring people. In 1892 he was first elected to the Illinois legislature, and in 1900, he came within an ace of being elected governor of Illinois. He made the second race for the governorship of this state in 1912. During the late world war for democracy, he was called upon to arbitrate the stockyards labor troubles, and his decision, granting substantial wage increases, averted a serious strike. President Harding appointed him to the newly created United States Coal Commission last October. President Woodrow Wilson, in August, 1915, selected Judge Alschuler to serve as one of the judges of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, and so far Judge Alschuler has honorably performed all of the responsible duties which have been placed upon his broad shoulders by Presidents Wilson and Harding and by all the people of the State of Illinois and the United States. Judge and Mrs. Alschuler are now at home to their hosts of friends at 160 Lincoln avenue, Aurora, Ill. Since September 15, 1899, down to the present time a copy of The Broad Ax, once each week, has entered his home and the writer wishes to join with his numerous friends in hoping that Judge and Mrs. Alschuler will enjoy all the happiness and blessings of life until time is no more with them. MRS. KILLION PASSES AWAY Mrs. Louise Killion, 3142 Calumet Ave., well known in the activities of The Metropolitan Community Center of which she was a member and faithful worker, passed away at her home Thursday at noon and was buried from The Center on Monday morning, Mar. 11th, at which time Rev. W. D. Cook, director, delivered the funeral eulogy. Resolutions were read from the many clubs with which she was affiliated. Burial was at Oakwood Cemetery. Mrs. Killion was the sister of Mrs. T. J. Kinney with whom she lived. Out of town relatives who came to the funeral were Mrs. M. J. Hickman, sister Centralia, Ill.; Mrs. G. W. Jones of Springfield, niece, and Mrs. Inez Carrington, niece, Topeka, Kansas. AMATEUR MINSTRELS Everybody is preparing to greet the approaching, admirable, amazing, animating amateur, annual, acting aggregation on Easter Monday night, April 2nd.

He will render a beautiful native ballet entitled "Egypt's in Africa What Am I." AT HOT SPRINGS During the week, Mesdames Lou Ella Young, Laura Hardwick and Essie Gillum left the city for Hot Springs, Ark., to remain three or four weeks. Enroute home, they will stop for several days in Oklahoma with friends. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, MARCH 10, 1923 CHARLES E. STUMP, THE REGULAR TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AX, HAS HAD ONE HIGH-STEPPING TIME WHILE TRAMPING THROUGH FLORIDA. Miami, Fla.—I wish you could have been with me, for I was with three big men in making a trip from Jacksonville, Fla., to this place in an automobile car carriage, with one of the next bishops of the A. M. E. church, Rev R. A. Grant, D. D., at the wheel, who was as cool as a cucumber and as composed as a judge, but showed that he was a master hand at the wheel, and we were perfectly satisfied to ride 366 miles. But before going further and taking up where I left off, I am sure that you want to know who the men were, and since you want to know I will have to tell you. They were Revs. R. A. Grant, H. Y. Tools and Grand Master D. D. Powell of the Masonic fraternity, being at the head of the Most Worshipful Union Grand Lodge of Florida. I have been in good company and important company, as you see. When I wrote you that other letter I was just in and around Jacksonville Fla., the guest of Dr. H. Y. Tooks his wife and daughter, and they were just giving me a great big time. I was glad to see them and they were glad to see me, and so the world moved along in gladness around me. I spent a Sunday there, and that was well spent, for Sunday morning I was invited to deliver the sermon at Edward Waters college church. Now when a fellow is invited to preach for teachers and students he just feels like he must get something way up in educated G, and this is what I tried to do. I thought it necessary to get some high sounds, something which would sound like Greek, Latin, Hebrew and extra English. I prepared my little essay-sermon, and believe me, there were some words in it I could not pronounce, but I just called at them and went on with that preaching business until almost everybody in the chapel church was asleep. I just stopped and looked, and later Dean Carter, the pastor and dean, explained that they were just in from a long hike and were tired and sleepy. I did not say it, but I thought why in the feathers should they go on a hike on Sunday when they had Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and instead of drilling their fool brains out and then going on a hike, they could spend it in reading and then going to church. Perhaps the school is under army regulations, and the soldiers fight and die on Sunday as well as any other day. But I am not a school man, and I was out of my place, yet I think some of those children thought I was talking education—talking and could not tell the difference. In the afternoon, I got with Rev. Thomas W. Carter, dean, and his wife had on her Sunday-go-to-meeting clothes, and we made to Baldwin, just twenty miles away, where the Masons laid the cornerstone of an A. M. E. church and burned the mortgage. It was interesting to see them spread baskets and eat after it was all over. I just looked and looked until I could hardly look. Rev. Carter preached the sermon, and he is some preacher. You see he must know something about preaching, for his business is to teach men how to preach and then how to prepare sermons. He is one of the best men they have in this church, and some day he is going to be president of one of the leading church schools. We returned to the city, went by St. Paul A. M. E. church, and then to the home of Dr. Tooks' where chicken was served, and the Revs. Tooks and Carter went to the Mt. Zion A. M. E. church and I remained in. That church held until after 12 o'clock, for they had on a rally, and had collected over a thousand dollars. Rev. Charles S. Long is pastor. I just hobnobbed around town all day Monday, but Tuesday, bright and early, we were ready for that long ride, but did not get started until 11 o'clock. We waited on Grand Master Powell, and for new wheels. You know this Grand Master Powell, for he is one of the most remarkable men of the race. Not a college graduate, but a graduate from the university of common sense. He is just the leader of men. When he was placed in the Grand East (and I don't know just what they mean by the Grand East, for to me east is east and west is west), but at any rate, the grand lodge was way in debt. That building, which is worth over a hundred thousand dollars, was totering toward the white folks, but this man of affairs took hold and in a short time every dollar was paid, and the temple is now free of debt. When Powell speaks they hear him by the thousands. Dr. Tooks is at the head of the Heroines of Jericho, and he is a great leader. Dr. Grant is a scholar, a philosopher and a great preacher. Off we were, and rode all day until 4 o'clock the next morning, only stopping at St. Augustine to purchase some lunch; then stopped at West Palm Beach for a rest, and next day at 1 o'clock rolled into Miami. I am to talk about this place now. Bishop John Hurst is holding a conference here. You know Bishop Hurst, I am sure, for he is a man of the race and a great leader. He was sent down here to redeem Florida and he has succeeded in taking it out of the hands of the Ku Klux and placing it safe and sound in the aggressive column. He is a man who believes in law and order, and when you are wrong he will strike with his official ax or sword, it matters not whether it is friend or foe. "My God first and my church next," is the rule upon which he goes and you are in danger if you get in the way of either. Reaching town, I met the pastor and Dr. Tooks told him that I was a special guest of Bishop Hurst, so he assigned me to stop with Dr. K. L. Pharr, president of the Allen Christian Endeavor League, and a planner of human bodies after the life has gone out. He puts them down where the worms can just get fat. He has one of the largest leagues on the coast, and he is just a man who knows how to win. He was looking for Secretary S. S. Morris, hence assigned me to Hotel Dorsey, where he had arranged for all things. I was assigned to room 214 and had an Old Aunt Dolly time. We have a few things in this town, and, believe me, honey, my people are making good. Dorsey put over one hundred thousand dollars in a hotel, and right down the street is another fine building—it is a real hotel with private bath rooms, suite of rooms, bridal chamber. It is the Mary Elizabeth Hotel, building owned and operated by Dr. W. B. Sawyer. Dr. Sawyer is a busy man, but he has this hotel and it is operated by Mrs. Sawyer, who is indeed a very fine woman. We have good accommodations in Miami, and all you need when you come to the city is money with which to meet your bills. There is the Magic City Drug Store, which advertises, "Everything a drug store should have." Albert M. Bethune, the son of Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, of Daytona, if president and Mrs. E. I. Bethune, his wife, is secretary. This is a fine building and in good shape. I got much real pleasure out of seeing this building, saying nothing about being in it. Now then I was present when Bishop John Hurst, the sage of Florida, the leader of men, called to order the South Florida conference, and I saw how the men gave him an ovation. It is wonderful how he has reached the hearts of men and how they love him as a leader. Mrs. Hurst is right by his side, and all were present and took part in the opening. I presented to the delegates elected to the general conference Dr. S. J. Johnson, San Antonio, Texas, for church extension; Dr. J. C. Caldwell, for the position of secretary of the Allen Christian Endeavor League; Rev. R. A. Grant, for the position of bishop, and Dr. A. L. Gaines, for the same. But then I am not to talk about these things now. The Mayor of the city was present and delivered an address of welcome. It was a fine, manly address. Man to man, and a brother talking to brothers, that's all. You will believe me when I tell you that Bishop Hurst responded in a manly way. I was so pleased to hear him. Time will not permit me to tell you all, so just so much, and then I turn my attention to other things. Here is where I met Rev. A. L. Gaines, of Baltimore, Rev. D. M. Baxter, of Philadelphia, manager of the A M. E. Book Concern. The conference is about over. I have had the pleasure of seeing the Rev. Dr. John E. Ford and his wonderful wife. They are so happy, and he is still reading the paper. He keeps posted and his wife is assisting him in the reading business. She is still putting more and more into her head. God bless them. I shall have more to say to you in my next letters. Look out for me. I am basking now in the Florida sunshine. HON. WALTER M.

NEW TUNIC BLOUSE IN FAVOR Garment Forms Better Part of Smart Afternoon Outfit; Possibility of Several Frocks. Again we find the tunic blouse in favor. The tunic blouse really forms the better half of a smart afternoon costume, says a fashion writer in the Chicago American, and one needs only to wear a slip or skirt to complete the outfit. Then, too, the blouse may be combined with several skirts to create various effects, and you can really have several frocks for the cost of one. There is a decided preference for the peasant type of clothing this season. Printed fabrics and figured materials trend toward Russian sleeves and bloused effects in the newest models. One is of henna colored crepe colorfully sprinkled with bizarre figures. There are an oval neck and long full sleeves cuffed at the wrists. The tunic is split at the sides to reveal a navy blue accordion-plaited skirt. An elaborate bead girdle marks the low waistline, and is clasped at the front. Many of the smartest blouses are of a plain color with figured sleeves and trimming. For instance, tobacco brown crepe with sleeves of tan and brown and gold figures is interesting. The underslip is of the plain brown. Some of the blouses are of plain crepe, with brocaded chiffon sleeves. Black satin crepe, with long wrist-length sleeves of black and gold brocaded chiffon, makes an unusually lovely tunic blouse and when worn with a scant long skirt of the crepe satin is suitable for afternoon occasions. The short hip-length overblouses of battik design are well liked also. Very often one may have several blouses with a separate black skirt to form a number of costumes. Where Rover Scored.

THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, MARCH 10. 1923 BLOUSE HAS CALL Garment Along Jacket Line Is in Great Demand. Every Sort of Printed Material Is Used in the Important Spring Collections. Odd and original jackets are likely to have a strong influence on blouses and to bring about new developments in novelty blouses, notes a fashion writer in the New York Tribune. No more are the blouse departments of the shops able to do business on staple lines and show only slight changes from season to season. Now buyers, manufacturers and designers must be on the alert to keep pace with the demand for novelties in this line. They must be perpetually seeking new ideas, and there is no better place to find them than in these jackets originated and sponsored by the world's greatest dressmakers and fashion leaders. The most successful blousemakers report that blouses along jacket lines are the ones in greatest demand by the exclusive shops. Old-time regulation blouses must be very attractive indeed if they are to compete with these new ones. Printed fabrics are important for the jacket blouse. Every sort of printed material is used, even to printed metal cloth. Prints will continue to be featured in all of the important spring collections of blouses. There are Egyptian prints in combinations such as sandalwood and navy, with the trimming carrying out one of the shades. One interesting model of this sort is trimmed with navy blue crepe de chine in the form of an odd-shaped collar with one long-pointed end. This material also makes the cuffs. The marbled silks also are extensively used. In them every color of the rainbow is seen. It is not unusual to see such blendings as almond green and bright yellow. There are charming little blouses in bright colored crepe de chine in combination with suede, such as rose silk with a trimming of dull red leather. Elaborate southeast braiding is seen on many of the new blouses. THE TWO-PIECE KNITTED SUIT VINCENT WILSON A JUNEAN WEEKEND This stunning two-piece heavy knitted silk outing suit is featured by a combination color scheme of white and green. The coat is edged in the green and the skirt has a panel inserted on the left side toward the back. LARGE HATS, THE PREDICTION Important Looking Headgear to Be Popular; Will Not Dethrone Close-Fitting Types. It is certain that we shall wear very large and important looking hats this spring and coming summer, but these picturesees shapes will not dethrone our close-fitting favorites, writes a fashion correspondent in the Boston Globe. So long as the dance craze continues we shall continue faithful to turbans and small cloche shapes. A turban or small cloche shape can be worn at any time of the day, and if it is accompanied by an uncommon mask veil we have a headache which is not only becoming but also the latest and newest thing. It is surprising to find that all the heena shades are now popular with our leading milliners. Women have turned against heena tints for the hair, and some of the best-known Paris hair-dressers are refusing to tint with heena nowadays. We will not have heena hair, but on all sides we find heena-red and heena-brown hats, a feminine fancy, no doubt! Effective Girdle A wide band of rhinstones makes an effective girdle for a frock of silver lace, combined with pale gray crepe. The relieving bit of color is supplied by a fame-colored fan. Reculiar Bechuanan Idea Peculiar Beechman idea Among the Beechuanas the men plow and it is taboo for a woman to touch the cattle. THREE-PIECE SUIT OF BROWN UNOYNWOOD J. L. HINDSWORD One of the newest and smartest spring forecasts is this three-piece suit of brown; duvetyn skirt, brocaded crepe blouse, and coat of suede-embroidered in red and yellow wool. Combined with it is a fascinating hat of tan felt with brown and tan ribbon trim. LONG SLEEVES ARE FAVORED Spring Gowns Show Elongated Style in the Lead in the More Formal Apparel. The question whether sleeves for spring shall be long or short is being answered in some of the new lines now showing. The short sleeve seems to be the preferred type for the dress of sports proclivities, and it is inclined to be quite short, not reaching to the elbow in many instances. The long sleeve appears in more formal dress. This is rather a happy division, and allows plenty of leeway, especially as the lines between the two types of dress need not be very closely drawn. The three-piece idea continues to flourish. A new development is to have the dress all of one material, instead of combined with crepe, and the jacket that completes the suit is frequently a little thing with sleeves merely suggested, so that one is not sure whether it is cape or jacket. In regard to red, there is quite a little of it being shown in just these effects. Whether or not it will be as big an influence as it was last season remains to be seen. There seems to be no question that soft raspberry and strawberry shades will open the season. White is expected to be better than ever. Black and white combinations look promising. Accordion plaiting is much used on the new models, especially for the skirts of jaunty little silk suits. Velvet ribbon is box plaited and employed as a banding, and moire is treated in the same way. The cut ostrich banding is very rich looking and has the depth and softness of fur, which it resembles at a little distance.—Dry Goods Economist. FASHION HINTS Young girls' dance frocks are developed in chiffon and lace. A design of grape leaves done in mother-of-pearl sequins covers a frock of heavy white crepe. Tan, ccru, coffee color and beige are colors for which a vogue is predicted in the fashions of spring. In place of a fur collar an evening cape of toast-color velvet has collar made of large choux closely shirred in the centers. An exceedingly good looking outing hat of taffeta has gray angora embroidery outlined with silver stitching. The color is a fattering shade of porcelain blue. A small cap effect, which molds right to the head without frame, comes from Paris. The hat is made from heavy moire or metallic ribbon and is without any other trimming. To bring your gloves absolutely up to date, line the faring wrists with beautiful brocaded or brilliant colored ribbons. Gloves have never been more elaborate than they are this season, and the lining of the faring wrist is quite as important as the stripe on the back of the hand or the color of the glove. The dress with jacket to match has come to be one of the mainstays of fashion. It is the smartest costume that one can have for general daytime wear, and with the dress consisting of the cloth skirt attached to a blouse of chiffon, which may be plaited or embroidered, it becomes a dressy as well as practical garment. For Sports Wear Smart sports blouses are made of striped or figured shantung with manish turnover collars and turnback cuffs. The patterns are usually dark on a white background, giving a clear contrast. Not by Bread Alone "If I had but the price of a loaf of bread," said Mahomet, "I would buy a hyacinth to feed my soul." NAVY BLUE SERGE NAVY BLUE SERGE Fabric Is Favored for Spring Capes and Dresses. Wrapped-Around Gown Adopted as Compromise Between Draped Garment and Chemise. The cape is having a greater influence on fashions for spring than it has had in any previous season, observes a fashion authority in the New York Tribune. This is saying a great deal for the cape, because its influence has been decidedly pronounced for some time past. Then it has been revived periodically and always with great success. But never before has it lent itself to so many variations or has it influenced so many parts of dress. Apparently there is no end to its variations as conceived by dressmakers. Short capes are placed at the sides of a coat to simulate sleeves, with bits of cloth attached at the bottom in the form of bracelets, which serve as cuffs. The dress with cape back so pronounced during the last season will be seen as frequently this spring as it was last winter. The cape in one form or another is used on a large proportion of the new models. When it does not take the form of a flowing cape—back cut as part of the dress the cape is seen in the sleeves or a detachable wrap forming part of the dress. The draped dress for daytime wear has not been as successful as its sponsors hoped. Women were unwilling to forsake the youthful and comfortable straightline dress for one which while 1 Dress and Cape Combining Navy Blue Serge and Coral Wool Baregist Walst Portion of Dress and Trimming on Skirt and Cape Are of Coral. having more dignity, tended to make them look older. Dressmakers find that the larger part of their business is on the straightline frock. So they have come to the conclusion that it is not worth while to endeavor to force other types. Women were willing to make a compromise between the draped dress and the chemise, in that they adopted the wrapped-around type of dress, a good example of which is of blue serge combined with coral colored wool barege. The blouse is of the coral colored material, while the cape and wrapped-around skirt are of the blue serge edged with coral. SLIPPER COLORS THAT BLEND Matching the Dress Is Out of Fashion; Have Footgear Same Color as Your Headdress. No longer does a woman find it necessary, immediately upon procuring a new evening gown, to go to her sheoaker and order slippers of a matching hue, for a new fad has been launched in Paris which is having a decided bearing on shoe styles in this country, observes a fashion writer in the New York Tribune. If you would be effectively and correctly shod, according to this vogue, have your slippers of kid in a color that contrasts or blends rather than matches the dress. It is considered very chic to have your shoes the same color as your headaddress, your feather fan, or perhaps to match the color of the trimmings on your dress, provided these be of a different hue from that of the dress itself. For instance, with a dress of flame yellow that is trimmed with a touch of red, red kid slippers should be worn. Or, if you are going to carry a burnt orange-colored fan and wear a dress of almost any hue, slippers to match the fan are considered the smart thing. This comes as a bit of pleasant news to women, for it permits wide scope in giving variety to the evening toilette. By changing the color of your slippers or carrying a different fan the same dress may take on an entirely new appearance. From the standpoint of economy, too, this appeals to us, for one half of slippers may serve for several dresses. Of Ecru Batiste. Collars and tiny bishop undersleeves made of ecru batiste or lace are a feature of several new frocks. Conditions for Goodness.

FOR THE YOUNGER SET Alternate rows of red and white jots about the dime trim a smart blue serge dress designed for a school girl. One of the most lovely evening gowns is of silver cloth, gracefully draped, and beaded with the tiniest of cut steel beads. A gown of electric blue velvet banded at the hem and sleeves with Australian opusum, has a large tropical bird painted on the front of the skirt. Silver lace is used effectively for the wide bertha collars that are so popular on frocks for the young and slender. It is particularly striking with velvet. A debutante gown of white chiffon and cobweby white lace is trimmed with laquered silver ribbon. The skirt is very long and full, and the bodice has a wide bertha. A stunning straight-line frock in white canton crepe has an artistically draped skirt and wide flowing sleeves trimmed with bands of jet beads. The square neckline is unrelieved by trimming. A peasant's costume formed the inspiration for a youthful frock composed of a black velvet bodice and a skirt of black, red and white striped wool. The bodice laces with a black cord. Shoulder puffs are seen on many of the new sleeves. Sometimes the puff constitutes the entire effort at a sleeve, but in other cases there is a long, tight sleeve below which reaches far over the wrist. White satin is no longer exclusively for the bride, but for the society bud and the matron as well. Frequently it is made sleeveless, and depends upon its smartness for its line and drapery. Often it is beaded with white or colored beads. Deauville Kerchief. Now comes the Deauville kerchief with the ribbon border. The kerchiefs are made of china, or some sort of soft silk, three-quarters or one yard square. Ribbons to match, in two-tones, in harmonies, contrasts, Roman stripes, or in all sorts of designs and combinations are stitched around the square of silk forming the border. Naturally, with such a choice of ribbons as there is this year and such a wide selection of silk, the ribbon edged Deauville kerchief can have that individual touch impossible to the silk bandanna. Some of the silk squares are bound with three to five rows of ribbon in variegated shades and make very effective neck or hip kerchiefs. P. C. HON. JOHN H.

The toothed whales eat any living thing they can catch. First Voyage Across Atlantic. In 1492, the Santa Maria, a Spanish vessel under the command of Christopher Columbus, traversed the ocean in 70 days.

And the Last Is the Greatest. Five great intellectual professions have hitherto existed in every civilized nation; the soldier's, to defend it; the pastor's, to teach it; the physician's, to keep it in health; the lawyer's, to enforce justice, and the merchant's to provide, and all these men, on due occasion, to die for it.—John Ruskin.
