The Broad Ax

EXTRA THE BROAD AX EXTRA Col. Madison Davis Carey, Son of Bishop Archibald James Carey, Arrested for Failing to Contribute to the Support of His Four Bright and Highly Interesting Children. At the Time of His Arrest He Owed His Former Wife Mrs. Carey, Three Hundred and Sixty-Nine Dollars for Back Alimony. IT WILL BE RECALLED THAT AFTER BISHOP ARCHIBALD JAMES CAREY HAD DELIVERED SOME WISHY WASHY SPEECHES AT THE APRIL ELECTION IN FAVOR OF THE DEMOCRATS THAT THE SALARY OF HIS SON, COL. MADISON DAVIS CAREY, WAS INCREASED FROM TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS PER YEAR TO TWO THOUSAND AND FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS PER YEAR FOR PRACTICALLY DOING NOTHING AS ONE OF THE INVESTIGATORS CONNECTED WITH THE OFFICE OF THE CORPORATION COUNSEL OF CHICAGO. THE HEAD DEMOCRATS OF CHICAGO SHOULD WITHOUT DELAY REMOVE COL. MADISON DAVIS CAREY FROM HIS PRESENT POSITION AND SELECT SOME DECENT COLORED MAN WHO WORKED VERY HARD TO ASSIST TO ELECT HON. WILLIAM E. DEVER, SOME COLORED MAN WHO IS IN FAVOR OF SUPPORTING OR MAINTAINING HIS FAMILY. BISHOP CAREY, WHO IS WELL KNOWN AS BISHOP HOGALL CAREY, HAS HAD FOR A LONG TIME TWO MEMBERS OF HIS FAMILY ON THE CITY PAYROLLS OF THE CITY OF CHICAGO, HIS DAUGHTER BEING A SCHOOL TEACHER AND HISSON, MADISON DAVIS CAREY, DRAWING DOWN TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS PER MONTH IN THE CITY HALL. IT WAS ATTORNEY AUGUSTUS L. WILLIAMS WHO LANDED ON COL. CAREY AND FORCED HIM TO COME TO TIME WITH THE MONEY. Three times each day prior to July 14, for ten days the writer called morning, noon and evening at the rooms on the fifth floor of the City Hall in which Col. Madison Davis Carey, the high-stepping son of Bishop Archibald James Carey is supposed to occupy in connection with his so-called labors in the Corporation Counsel's office and after making thirty calls we utterly failed to hit his trail; several times we were informed that Mr. or Col. Carey had been there but that he was gone for the day and that he was on his way to a baseball game; at other times we were informed that Mr. or Col. Carey had been up rather late the night before, that he was not feeling so very well nor very bright, and that he would not be down today, and he was one of the colored political bosses himself of the City Hall, and that with his father's drag, that no one was big enough nor strong enough to call his hand, hence he would not be down town on that day. So at last we were forced to inform Attorney Augustus L. Williams that it was far beyond our ability to come within hailing distance of Col. Madison Davis Carey, and therefore we could not assist him to serve any Superior Court papers on him. After imparting that information to Mr. Williams he was silent for a few moments, then he jumped up out of his chair and said "come on, I have thought out another plan," and we both made a bee line for the fifth floor of the City Hall and rushed back to the rooms occupied by the Hon. J. Gray Lucas and Major A. E. Patter- S. General Superintendent of Police of Chicago. He is a Terror and an Unrelenting Foe to the Criminal Element, the Gunmen and the Midnight Bandits. It Makes Not the Slightest Difference to Him Whether They Belong to the White or the Colored Race, for All the Violators of the Laws Look Alike to Him. Chief Collins is Fast Proving Himself to be the Best General Superintendent of Police that Chicago Has Ever Had. Mayor William E. Dever can never be praised too highly for displaying so much rare judgment and plain down right horse sense when he selected Hon. Morgan A. Collins to stand at the head of the Police Department of the great city of Chicago, and after all that has been or can be said and done Chief Collins is the right man in the right place. He always conducts himself like a high-class cultured gentleman and he never attempts to hand out any rough stuff while he is en- son, where Col. Carey is supposed to hang out for several hours each week in connection with his hard labors, we don't think, and Mr. Williams was informed by either Mr. Lucas or by Major Patterson or by Mrs. Clarence Burke, who is also in the same office with them, that Mr. Carey had just left for the day, and Mr. Williams was given a phone number so that later he might be able to talk with Col. Carey on the phone. Still being up a tree and a long ways from coming in contact with Col. or Mr. Carey, Mr. Williams said that he would not be outdone and we reminded him to be careful, that it was Friday, July 13, an unlucky day. He stood dead still for fully five minutes then he exclaimed, "Come on." We both butted right into the room occupied by Hon. Frank M. Padden, First Assistant Corporation Counsel of Chicago, and after Mr. Williams had explained his mission and that for the past ten days he had been endeavoring to serve Mr. Carey with some papers citing him to appear before His Honor Judge Denis E. Sullivan, of the Superior Court, who wanted to HON. MORGAN A. COLLINS Interintendent of Police of Chicago. He unrelenting Foe to the Criminal Element the Midnight Bandits. It Makes No Due to Him Whether They Belong to the Place, for All the Violators of the Law. Chief Collins is Fast Proving Him General Superintendent of Police that gaged in conversing with anyone. It makes not the slightest difference to him whether they are high or low, rich or poor, white or black, and it can truthfully further be said to his everlasting credit that he knows no color line in transacting business for the public and the doors on his inner office always swings both ways for all classes of his fellow citizens. White and colored alike can freely walk right in and grasp him by the hand and they are requested to sit down and make themselves right at home. know why Mr. Carey had failed to dig up some money for the support of his four little helpless children. Mr. Williams strongly intimated to Mr. Padden that, he would serve him with the papers and that he in turn could notify Mr. Carey that His Honor, Judge Sullivan, would feel highly delighted to see him. Mr. Padden claimed he had a grave doubt in his mind whether or not that such service would hold water in the courts. Mr. Williams assured him that it would and after Mr. Williams had cited some of the best authorities on that phase of the law, and after Mr. Padden felt fully convinced that he was standing on a firm legal foundation, he accepted service in behalf of Mr. Carey and on Saturday, July 14, he met Mr. Williams, his former wife, Mrs. Carey, and their four children face to face in the court rooms of Judge Sullivan, and his case was continued to Wednesday morning July 18. On Wednesday morning, July 18, 1923, will long be remembered by Col. Madison Davis Carey, for well on towards noon on that day Col. Carey came face to face with Attorney A. --- The writer came in contact with Chief Collins a few days ago and he wanted to know if conditions were improving among the colored people on the near south side and we informed him that we felt fully convinced that they had very much improved, and Chief Collins stated that it made him feel proud to listen to such good news and that Chicago is large enough for the best and most law abiding white and colored people to dwell together in peace and harmony without the slightest friction. L. Williams representing Mrs. Carey and her four children. His Honor Judge Denis E. Sullivan who is one of the most honorable high court judges in Cook county was sitting on his bench waiting for Col. Carey, finally Judge Sullivan with a courtly wave of his well-seasoned Judicial hand motioned Mr. Williams to proceed with his business before the court closed down for the noon recess. Mr. Williams informed the honorable court that he was the attorney for Mrs. Carey, the former wife of Madison Davis Carey, that Mr. Carey was almost five months behind in his payments to Mrs. Carey for the support of their children, that right at this time he owed her three hundred and sixty-nine dollars, that it was utterly impossible for Mrs. Carey to feed and clothe her children properly unless Mr. Carey paid in the alimony promptly each month. Then Mr. Williams resumed his seat and Judge Sullivan who is a devoted and a strict family man and he never has a great deal of love or respect for worthless men who willfully desert their wives and children without a just cause, turned his head in the direction of Mrs. Carey, and requested her to approach his bench and after she had complied to his request, in the most fatherly manner he asked her if she desired to say anything to the court other than what had been so ably stated by Mr. Williams and Mrs. Carey responded that she would like to make a short statement to the court and she went on to state that her former husband Mr. Madison Davis Carey owed her three hundred and sixty-nine dollars for back alimony, that she sadly needed the money for the purpose of supporting their four children, that the past winter she was compelled to part with their three oldest children for awhile being unable to carry the burden all alone, that she did not want the money for herself as she was able to earn her own living in the most honorable way. She had their four children in court with her. They were all dressed neat and were spotlessly clean and were well mannered. Their names follow: Madison Davis Carey Jr., 9 years old; little Miss Faithie Carey, Miss Elizabeth Carey and the baby, little Miss Margaret Carey, 2 years old. She is just as sweet and as lovely as she can be and we would gladly give one thousand dollars if we had a little girl like her to brighten our life and to bring lots of sunshine into our humble little home. Mrs. Carey conducted herself in the court room like a perfect lady, and she made a favorable impression on the mind of Judge Sullivan and when she had finished her statement Judge Sullivan requested Mr. Carey to step forward and after stating his name Judge Sullivan commanded him to state his business and Mr. Carey replied that THE BASS-WORRELL WEDDING Tuesday evening July 24, Miss Frederica Laura Bass, the lovable and dutiful daughter of Mr. Charles Bass, 6218 S. Elizabeth street, was happily united in marriage to Mr. Ralph W. Worrell. The wedding knot was tied good and tight by Rev. B. U. Taylor, pastor of Wayman chapel. Prior to the performing of his ministerial duties, Mrs. Ada Ray, of Morgan Park, one of the aunts of the bride, sang a solo, to the great delight of the wedding guests. Miss Hazel Willis played the wedding march, accompanied by Mr. Frank Johnson on the cornet. Mr. Charles Bass gave his daughter away in marriage and she looked ever so beautiful and charming in her bridal robes of white satin draped in rich lace; a bridal wreath of lilies of the valley crowned her head, and carried a bouquet of brides roses. Mrs. B. J. McNeal, a warm friend of the bride, served as bridesmaid. She wore white canton crepe, beaded, and carried a shower bouquet of American Beauty roses. Mr. B. J. McNeal was best man. Mrs. John Pierce, grandmother of the bride, who is over ninety years old, felt ever so happy to witness the marriage of her granddaughter and the bride's two aunts, Mrs. Burnett Brown and Mrs. Randle Ray and little Misses Edwina Carrie and Madora Ray, nieces of the bride, and Mrs. Delaware Martin, grandmother of the groom, Mr. Charles Bass fr., Mr. Glen Bass and Mr. Sam Bass, the three brothers of the bride, were among the he was connected with the office of the Corporation Counsel of Chicago. Then Judge Sullivan wanted to know if he was a lawyer and Mr. Carey said no. Then Judge Sullivan said "Don't you think that you should have a lawyer to represent you in court?" and Mr. Carey exclaimed that "he did not need a lawyer". Then Judge Sullivan very softly said alright Mr. Carey, then he paused for just a few moments and then he turned in around his seat so that he would face his faithful bailiff, Mr. Louis Gatteman, and very solemnly said: "Mr. Bailiff, lay your hands on Mr. Carey and escort him over to the Cook county jail and see to it that he remains securely locked up in it until he has paid the three hundred and sixty-nine dollars to Mrs. Carey as back alimony and at the same time inform the Honorable Corporation Counsel of Chicago to forward all of the mail belonging to Mr. Carey to his new address, the Cook county jail, corner of Austin Ave. and Dearborn street, and Mr. Gatteman who never fails to carry out the orders of the honorable court made double quick time in landing Mr. Carey over on the north side where he was held until that evening, then after he had come up with every cent of the money he was commanded to depart in peace and sin no more. Judge Sullivan intimated to Mrs. Carey that as long as Mr. Carey was earning two hundred dollars per month that if he failed to pay over to her eighty dollars per month for the support of their four children to let him know through Mr. Williams and that he would issue another through ticket to him entitleting to rest up in the Cook county jail. near relatives present to witness the ceremony of, the high contracting parties. As an evidence of the fact that the new bride is and has been in the past held in the highest esteem by a large circle of friends both white and colored, all of her white neighbors not only attended the wedding but like her other true friends assisted to present her and her husband with many very beautiful and useful presents. The very choiceest of refreshments were served in the most lavish manner, the lovely bride stood at the head of the table and personally served each one of the many guests present with a large slice of the bride's elegant wedding cake. Some eight years ago the mother of the bride passed away from this earth at the time that she was attending the Englewood high school and she started right in to keep house for her father, Mr. Bass, and her three brothers, at the same time keeping up with her hard studies at school and in time she graduated from the Englewood high school with high honors. The very fact that she was willing to work hard early and late in order to keep the home fires burning simply proves that she is a splendid young woman and that she had been well trained by her devoted mother. Mr. and Mrs. Worrell, who make a fine looking couple have settled right down to business or to the plain and simple life and they are at home to their hosts of friends at the number appearing near the first part of this article. In conclusion the writer wishes Mr. and Mrs. Worrell unbounded happiness and all of the favors that the gods can bestow upon them throughout their wedded life. ATTORNEY AUGUSTUS L.

Under Act of March 8, 1879. By DR. H. T. S. JOHNSON, Interracial Secretary for Oklahoma THE WAY TO INTERRACIAL CO-OPERATION Acts 10:34-35—Then Peter began to speak, "I clearly see," said he, "that God makes no distinctions between one man and another; but that in every nation, those who fear Him and live good lives are acceptable to Him." Peter was a strict Jew and shared fully the opinion of his race that God made them out of better clay than He used when making the Gentiles. Though he, with the other apostles, had been commissioned to "go the whole world over and proclaim the good news to all mankind," he still believed the good news was for the Jews only. Not until the house-top vision did he give a thought about the Gentiles' claim on salvation. Not until he heard Cornelius tell of the heavenly messenger to himself did he get big enough to say, "I clearly see that God makes no distinction between one map and another." In this story there are some notable facts: 1. These men of different races were brought to fraternal relations because both were men of prayer. Cornelius was offering prayer in his house when the heavenly messenger M. H. HON. LEONARD J. GROSSMAN The Able and Popular Assistant Corporation Coucago Whose Eloquent Oration, or Talk, at Jo Recently, Left a Profound Impression Upon the of People Who Were Present at That Time and affective Work in Combatting the Ku Klux KJ deared Him to the Colored People, Declared We Realize that the Democratic Party is the Iuge for the Victims of Race Bigotry; That the Party Offers Sanctuary to the Colored People, secured Peoples, to All Real Americans, Then in Fraternity We Will Have Solved Our Gr Problem. The Able and Popular Assistant Corporation Counsel of Chicago Whose Eloquent Oration, or Talk, at Joyland Park, Recently, Left a Profound Impression Upon the Thousands of People Who Were Present at That Time and Whose Effective Work in Combatting the Ku Klux Klan Has Endeared Him to the Colored People, Declared That When We Realize that the Democratic Party is the Rock of Refuge for the Victims of Race Bigotry; That the Democratic Party Offers Sanctuary to the Colored People, to All Persecuted Peoples, to All Real Americans, Then in the Spirit of Fraternity We Will Have Solved Our Greatest Civic Problem. stood in front of him and gave hip the knowledge that his prayer was heard and his charities recorded, together with the instruction that he send to Joppa for Peter. Peter went on the house-top to pray and there saw the vision which relieved him of race prejudice and emancipation without which no man can live his longest and best. to discourage, so much to make him desperate that it is absolutely necessary for him to keep his head on top as a safeguard against conduct and counsel that would make his leadership dangerous. The only guarantee of a level head under trying circumstances is the prayer habit. The Negro must pray the prayer of faith or the door of hope will close. 2. These men of different races were both openminded as to divine guidance. The angel told Cornelius to send for Peter and he did it forthwith. He did not stop to reflect on the haughty attitude of the Jew towards the Gentile world and conclude that it was no use to send for that proud Israelite because he would not come. Neither did Peter refuse to respond to the request of Cornelius on the ground that it would be a condescension damaging to his social standing and religious consistency. God ordered him to go and that was enough. Social relations that could be damaged and religious consistency that could be hurt by doing God's will are not worth protecting. Relations between white men and black men in the United States will not reach the point of brotherhood until, like Cornelius and Peter, the leaders on both sides become: 1. Men and women of prayer. People who do not pray should not be entrusted with the responsibility of leadership. A leader must have the poise which prayer gives. Especially is this true as regards the Negro leader. There is so much against him, so much to provoke to anger, so much to discourage, so much to make him desperate that it is absolutely necessary for him to keep his head on top as a safeguard against conduct and counsel that would make his leadership dangerous. The only guarantee of a level head under trying circumstances is the prayer habit. The Negro must pray the prayer of faith or the door of hope will close. The white man needs to pray, especially when he thinks of himself in relation to the Negro, for humility. He is so prone to disregard the Scripture which says, "I warn every individual among you not to value himself unduly." Humility is the mark of the man who prays, white or black. It is also an outstanding characteristic of the man who thinks correctly and who is of dependable piety. These are all requisites of true leadership and emphasize the necessity of prayer as a condition precedent to interracial co-operation. 2. We must become in both races men and women open to divine guidance, like Cornelius and Peter, before we can meet on terms of brotherhood. White men and black men of America, "we be brethren," Denial does not alter the fact. Dr. Lyman Abbott never told a bigger truth than when he said: "To deny the brotherhood of man is to deny the fatherhood of God." Leaving out religion and ethics, we should be brethren in practice regardless of race or color, because it adds to our personal popularity. Why did J. C. Walton win the recent election in Oklahoma, with every newspaper in the state, except a Socialist daily and a Negro democratic weekly against him? Because whether it is so or not the common white people and the Negroes believed that in him they had a friend. The practice of brotherhood is the strongest political pull one can have. If you do not believe it, philosophyize on Governor Walton's election and the popularity of Mayor Thompson of Chicago. Both of these men preach and practice a square deal towards all the people, including Negroes. White men do not lose anything by being kind to Negroes. If so, history does not show it. If the world were asked to name the two greatest presidents this country has had, the two names that would head the list would be Abraham Lincoln, the emancipator, and Theodore Roosevelt, the only president who ever ate lunch with a Negro. Nor does the Negro lose by getting close to the white man. In fact, the greatest leaders the race has produced are those Negroes who have been able to get most from the white man for their people. Booker Washington was our greatest leader because he brought to the race the co-operation of the white people of widest influence and greatest wealth as no other Negro has done. Since the greatest white men and the greatest Negroes America has produced are those who have practiced most wisely interracial co-operation, why may not all of us add to our usefulness by following their lead? MADAM ANITE PATTI BROWN GIVES PRIVATE DANCING PARTY Last evening Madam Anite Patti Brown, the noted songstress; gave a private dance party at the National University of Music, 3672 S.

THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, JULY 28, 1923 HOW THE ARKANSAS PEONS WERE FREED-N. A. A. C. P. ISSUES HISTORY OF FAMOUS CASE In response to nation-wide interest in the freeing of the colored farmers of Arkansas, sentenced to death in connection with the Arkansas riots in 1919, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth avenue, New York City, has issued the following history of the cases: In October, 1919, the country woke to the existence of slavery in the form of peonage on the farms of Arkansas. Several white men and 250 colored men, women and children were killed in the canebrakes of that state. While the disorders were still going on, a representative of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Walter F. White, Assistant Secretary, hastened to the scene from New York. Armed with a letter appointing him special correspondent of the Chicago Daily News, Mr. White interviewed the Governor of Arkansas and was permitted to travel into the center of the disturbance. He escaped just in time from the Arkansas mob of white men who had discovered that a "yaller nigger" was investigating their reign of terror. Mr. White returned to New York and reported that colored people had been held in peonage or perpetual debt slavery on the farms. Contrary to report sent out by white news services the Negroes had not organized to "massacre whites" but in order to employ a lawyer to obtain settlements from their landlords. Following the riots, colored people were arrested by hundreds, penned in stockades in Little Rock, and after being tortured to make them give false evidence in court, 67 of them were railroaded to long prison terms and 12 colored men were sentenced to death. Acting upon information obtained by Mr. White, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People stepped in to defend the 12 men sentenced to death. U. S. Bratton, the white lawyer to whom the peons had originally appealed, was enlisted in the cause. Mr. Bratton, owing to threats against his life had to leave Arkansas. So the brunt of the work fell upon Scipio A. Jones, a colored lawyer of Little Rock, who carried six of the cases to the United States Supreme Court where their sentences were reversed on February 19 of this year, and took the other six cases to the Supreme Court of Arkansas, which freed the men on June 25 of this year. The entire power of the N.A.A.C. P. was invoked to win these cases, Moorfield Streghe, former president of the American Bar Association and now president of the N.A.A.C. P., travelling from his home in Boston to argue the cases before the U. S. Supreme Court in Washington. About $14,000 has been spent on these cases and the victories have brought commendation from the most distinguished lawyers, including Louis Marshall of New York, counsel for Leo Frank, and Charles Nagel of St. Louis, former Secretary of the Interior in President Taft's cabinet. The victories in the Arkansas cases constitute one of the most damaging blows ever struck against peonage in America. Scipio Jones, for the N.A. A.C. POWER, will file as soon as possible in the federal court, a petition for a writ of dismissal in behalf of those of the 67 colored people still serving prison terms in connection with the riots.

THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF MUSICIANS (By DR. M. A. MAJORS) Music is to the human ear what honey is to the tongue. The sound of it is to the nerves what joy is to the heart. But there is such a wonderful variety of music. The Chinese, the Japanese, the Indian, and the savage African have developed queer tastes for sound, and where it seems melody is absolutely to be disregarded. The savage woman crooning her lullaby to her first born imagines she is ripping from a classic sheet a solemn canto. We are to all intents and purposes America's representatives in melody, harmony, rhythm and the soul reflections in diapason. Without education, or musical scholarship we were that, and now since we became educated, cultivated and refined we may embrace every feature of the art, even beyond the reach of the rest of mankind. It is to be marveled at that We have gone so far and done so well in the high realm of melody and sound. Our representatives, who have charmed all Chicago during this present week, bring joy to our hearts as well as music to our souls. They are our aristocrats of music and song, and it is so gladdening to have had them to come to our hearthstone to enjoy our hospitality and to see this great inland seaport, Chicago, by the lake. We will continue to mount high in lyrics, music and story, all rich and grand, expressing a racial characteristic that will not be laughed down by the noblest of earth. The higher music mounts the nearer heaven is, and if our steps forward are co-equal to our graces in the art of music then the world will be made better and heaven will be brought nearer. Chicago has been given the greatest festival in music and song it has ever had. All praise is due the managing head and the various chairmen of committees and the more than two hundred local members. Unique is the distinction we claim. Our soloists, impressarios and singers are not to be surpassed anywhere, but it is refreshing to find others trying to excel in the great game of personal achievements. Our ears, our eyes, our hearts, and our nerves are greatly improved by what we have seen and heard. Possibly upwards of 50,000 of our citizens attended the many great events to listen to music, song and oratory that rocked this city to sleep by its pathos and rhythm in the tender reaches of harmony and soul enhancing cadence. Long may the National Association of Musicians exist. We bespeak for its promoter God's divine approbation and success, therefore success alone can crown their efforts. NEGRO RACE NEEDS EDU CATED PREACHERS SAYS SECRETARY OF INTERIOR Secretary Work of the Department of the Interior has recently issued a statement calling attention to the lack of Negro churches. According to this statement, 500 colored ministers a year are needed to satisfy the demands. Last year less than 100 men graduated from any kind of training school for preachers and of this number less than 10 were college graduates. The average training of the other 90 for the colored ministry was about one and one-half years' grade school work. There are about 50,000 colored churches of all denominations in the United States. The shortage of preachers is illustrated by the fact that there is one white minister to every 889 white people. Secretary Work's statement is far too low when the graduates of Howard University, Virginia Union University, Lincoln University, Gamma Theological Seminary are taken together. Without doubt more than 10 college graduates received Theological degrees the last year, but he calls attention to a very sad need and it is entirely worth while that colored men who plan to enter the ministry should have sufficient preparation to enable them to be real leaders for their people. Without question the average education of the colored minister is far too low. JACK JOHNSON ALMOST GETS INTO TROUBLE Former Heavyweight Champ Angered When Expensive Touring Car Is Attached ATLANTIC/CITY, N. J. — Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion of the world, almost engaged in an unofficial fight here last week, when private detectives attempted to collect $12.50 due the proprietor of a local garage. Enraged when he found that chains had been placed upon the wheels of his expensive touring car, and further angered by the declaration of one of the sleuths that the car would go back to the garage, Johnson threatened to knock the men's heads together. He would doubtless have carried out his threats, but for the timely intervention of five of his sparring partners. Johnson finally cooled off, paid the bill and gave the detectives an extra $10 bill for their troubles. 91 HON. P. A.

THEATER DAY, JULY 29TH IGINAL THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, JULY 28. 1923 dred colored men and women are constantly employed by the Public Life Insurance Company; that that company was the first life insurance company owned and controlled by white persons to make it possible for bright and honest colored men and women to learn the life insurance business and that each and every one of the four hundred colored men and women working for the Public Life Insurance Company have amply proven themselves to be honest to the backbone. Fashion Notes That What will next year bring—a plump-figured miss, perhaps? That's the gossip now among the designers. The woman who likes unusual things will choose an exotic Hindoo choker neckline of carved wooden and bright-colored glass beads. Barunduikil, a new summer fur, is really just old-fashioned chimpmunk the little striped animals that are seen scampering about the woods of the Northwest. Hoop earrings are being revived again! They come in jet, silver fill-gree, metal hoops set with Egyptian stones and jade. They are said to be newer than the pendant earrings for summer wear. Forty is called the dangerous age for women. It certainly is if they depend upon their girlish charm for happiness. But the woman who dresses and acts in accordance with her years knows no dangerous age, for she always can be attractive. She puts aside girlish chatter for soft, intelligent conversation and she lets the younger women bear the responsibility of the bobbed heads. Crepe de chine makes a beautiful and serviceable dress for the summer days, as it can be fitted in colors and used as a dance frock. The simple crepe de chine gown is very popular this season and white is one of the season's best sellers. Of course, one could also have a plaited crepe de chine frock and this could be used as a sports frock later on if worn under a colorful jacquette. The matronly woman who attempts to wear the voguish attire of the young girl adds years to her age. There is nothing sadder in the world than a woman who refuses to grow old. One may see examples of these women often, old women who cling to their youth and dress in ridiculously youthful clothes. Often their hair is bobbled in the latest cut or frized about their sallow faces in dyed shades that draw immediate attention to their withered skins. Invisible corseur is the aim of the best corset creator—a happy example is in the "wrap around" model. It is very quickly adjusted; merely "wrap it" and "nap it" round the figure, the elastic sections alternating with coullt, only stretching sufficiently for this purpose. For this reason it is an improvement on the "pull-on" corse, as there is not a trace of lacing anywhere, and not a line shows through the gown, a precaution rendered doubly necessary by the sheathlike draperies.

JOANNA SNOWDEN-PORTER, CHICAGO, PRESIDENT DELEGATES TO THIRD BIENIAL CONVENTION LEADERS IN CIVIC ACTION By NOAH D. THOMPSON Representing more than 200,000 club women from 13 states, about 200 delegates are today winding up the business of the third biennial session of the Northwestern Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, of which Mrs. Joanna Snowden-Porter of Chicago, III., is president. The session began in Los Angeles Sunday afternoon with a large mass meeting at the St. Paul Institutional Church, Twenty-first and Naomi Sts, where many prominent local men and women spoke words of welcome to the delegates. During the session Mrs. J. C. Urquhart, president of the California Federation of Women, spoke in pleasing terms of the reciprocity between the club women of both races and expressed a desire for closer relationship and for the general improvement of racial conditions throughout the world. Other prominent speakers were Miss Eva Bowles, member of the national board of the Y. W. C. A. of New York City; Mrs. Porter and Mrs. Azalia M. Carter of Chicago, and Mrs. Winters of Bakersfield. All Lines of Endeavor Reports during the sesion show that the Northwestern Federation of Colored Women are engaged in all lines of endeavor that come within the scope of women's clubs with a special aim to raise a $50,000 student scholarship fund as set forth by the National As- sociation of Colored Women and to build a hospital for tubercular patients in Arizona. With a motto of: "No Law but Love, no Creed but Christ," the N.W.F. of Colored Women's Clubs was organized in Chicago eight years ago and selected Mrs. Joanna Snowden-Porter as president. Mrs. Porter has been president ever since and is today the favorite among the delegates for re-election. Mrs. Porter is also editor of the Colored Women's Exchange News, a magazine published by the federation in the interest of Negro women throughout the world. Protests To Be Made Among many resolutions to be acted upon today is one of protest against raising the emigration bars by the federal officials. The war department will also receive a strong protest against its decision to give federal recognition to former Negro soldiers only as "stevedores," "pioneer platoons" and "labor battalions," it having been brought to the attention of the women that the former 8th Illinois National Guard is the only organization of Negro soldiers that has received federal recognition and been equipped as a fighting regiment. Before returning to their homes many of the delegates will attend the convention of California Colored Women's Federated Clubs, which meets in San Diego next week. Mrs. Joanna Snowden-Porter re-elected president. The federated motto is "No Law but Love." VISITING UNCLE Mrs. William Jones, wife of William Jones, the grocer, 3636 State street, is at Fairmount, Ill., where she will spend three weeks on the farm of her uncle, Lee Dillion. Mrs. Jones is accompanied by little Miss Frances Williams. SPEAKS BEFORE SESSION M. T. Bailey, president The Bailey Press Bureau, 3638 S.

At this meeting, Mr. Bailey met many old friends and acquaintances. IN NEW HOME Dr. Edward F.

The management invites the citizens to visit the Park. They have arranged to accommodate Picnics given by Churches, Sunday Schools, Clubs of every kind and Fraternal Societies during the season, they invite them to call at the Office to make arrangements.

WABASH AVENUE Phone Victory 8045-J OLLIE SCALES, Manager It is clearly evident that thousands and thousands of colored people are learning every day to successfully engage in every line of business just like the members of other races, and many of them are making all kinds of money which enables them to buy valuable property and to live better in every way than they have in the past, and to see to it that their children receive the best education that the land_can afford. In short, bootblacks are fast becoming scarcer and scarcer among Oilcloth for Table Oilcloth table runners and dolls have taken on new beauty this season, as anyone can find out for herself by looking at the enticing displays in the shops. It has taken some of us a long while to overcome the prejudice against oilcloth table coverings, but no one can resist the new and clever pieces now available at astonishingly low cost. One may vary the table equipment in many ways. Lovely little lunch cloths and dolls are now made of colored linen, of Indian head, of glazed chintz, of unbleached cotton and even of cross-barred dishtoweling. These are all suitable for beach or mountain cottage and they involve much less trouble in the way of laundering and are at the same time attractive. Some place, either on the porch, in the sunroom or in the main living room, a place for a couch swing and its standards may be found. This has great possibilities for comfort and it helps carry out the idea of informality so well expressed in many summer homes. An indoor or outdoor hammock may prove more convenient. A box couch and a chale longue are two pieces of furniture that will find a ready welcome in most vacation homes and good comfortable rocking chairs are likewise sure to be popular. Fact Beyond Dispute. I say that the very fact that we are capable of such things as these is evidence of our kinship with something greater than earthly existence can either exhaust or complete—Rev. R. J. Campbell. A. B. them, while on the other hand business men and women are rapidly increasing among them. ness men and women are rapidly increasing among them. This fact can be amply proven by one single visit to Joyland Amusement Park, where with one or two exceptions all of the concessions are owned and controlled by colored men and women and they understand how to do business with the keenest business people in Chicago. Mr. Ollie Scales, the manager of the Joyland Amusement Park, never sleeps Summer Costumes of We are now in a period of graceful and uncommon new summer costumes of taffetta or silk alpaca—the latter one of the most popular materials of the season, says a Paris fashion writer in the Boston Globe. The style I have in mind is for the afternoon, and consists of a draped dress, almost always sleeveless, and a loose, very picturesque, coat. This coat is knee length. Frequently it is uneven at the hem, cut up in vandykes as our skirts of last year used to be. The draped dress is exactly the right thing to wear at a dance-tea, with the loose coat thrown aside. The whole costume is smart enough to be worn at the most fashionable race meeting. Dresses draped up in front are immensely popular. They have a youthful appearance which appeals to most women and they are really quite easily arranged, even by amateur hands. If a skirt alone is in question it must be cut straight and rather narrow, gathered at the back and sides and almost plain in front. There may be a slit in front where the folds are drawn up slightly, or the skirt may be round and simply gathered up under a buckle, clasp or rosette. The gathers may be hidden by folds of the material. In Paris they are using a great deal of a new crepe taffeta which had a dull, rather thick, surface. In fact the silk looks like a specially good crepe. Poetry's Direct Value Poetry's Direct value.

Chinese Idea of the Deluge. Chinese Idea of the Deluge. The tradition of a deluge in China corresponding to the flood as related in the Bible is embodied in the Chinese book "Li-Ki," where it is stated: "And now the pillars of heaven were broken the earth fell to pieces and the waters enclosed within its bosom, burst forth with violence and overflowed. Man having rebelled against heaven, the system of the universe was totally disordered, and the grand harmony of nature destroyed." Roman Remains in Britain. Excavating for the foundation of a new factory to be erected at Keysham, near Bristol, England, workmen recently unearthed Roman remains. The Daily Chronicle of London reports the discovery of coffins containing skeletons, a Roman needle about six inches long, a spoon and a brooch. The brooch is believed to have pit the finishing touch upon the toga of a Roman gallant. Earliest Known Bread.
