Hon. James W. Breen, Republican candidate for Judge of the Superior Court of Cook County, was born, raised and educated in this great city, and he is truly a thoroughbred Chicagoan. He was ushered into this grand old world August 31, 1873, and after drinking in all the education that he possibly could from its public schools, from which in time he graduated with all the high honors which were due him. At the end of that period he attended the Bryant and Stratton Business College and the Old Chicago Athenaeum where he very successfully completed his commercial education. Later on in life he graduated with the highest honors from the Law Department of the Lake Forest University, and he was admitted to the Chicago Bar and the Illinois Bar in 1897, and a short time after that date he received his commission to practice in the United States Supreme Court at Washington, D. C.

In 1915, Mayor William Hale Thompson selected Mr. Breen as Assistant Corporation Counsel of Chicago and as he made good in every way in his humbler position that in December 1920 he was chosen as First Assistant Corporation Counsel of Chicago and to the great credit to himself and to all of the people of Chicago he at all times discharged all of the responsible duties of his honored position with great legal or executive ability. In 1919 Mr. Breen was happily united in marriage to Miss May Lewis.

Oscar Wolff, Republican candidate for re-election as coroner of Cook county, was born in the great city of Chicago in 1875 and has resided in it from that time to the present, or, in other words, he has spent all of his life in the city of his birth. At the early age of thirteen, owing to the death of his father, he was forced to quit public school in order to assist in the support of his three younger brothers. To improve his education during this period he was given private lessons by the Reverened Galpin and Professor Clintock at night. Until he was twenty-two years old he worked as a clerk and at that time went into the dry goods business, selling his interest in the firm in 1911. He served as chairman of the Committee on Streets and Alleys on the Board of Local Improvements of the City of Chicago for seven years—the most important committee on the board, and is the only member who has served so long a period since the organization of the board. His most important accomplishment during this period was the opening up of three main thoroughfares on the south side of the city by negotiations with property owners without any expense to the city whatever, namely Ewing avenue from South Chicago to Hgewisch, Torrence avenue from South Chicago to the city limits and 103d street from Torrence avenue to Cottage Grove avenue across Lake Calumet. For a period of twenty years the citizens of the Calumet region urged city officials to open up these thoroughfares and over twenty improvement associations went on record begging and pleading for said relief. The usual procedure would have been court condemnations, which would have involved fees for commissioners THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, NOVEMBER 3, 1923 amounting to approximately $50,000, in addition to court costs, lawyers' fees and expert fees. The city would also have been obliged to pay judgments for the land taken, amounting to upward of $150,000. The people of the Calumet region all agree that this was one of the outstanding features of the Thompson administration. Mr. Wolff resigned as a member of the Board of Local Improvements in May, 1922. Mayot Thompson refused to accept his resignation until the month of August, 1922, when he became real estate director for the sanitary district of Chicago, which position he held until December 5, when he was elected coroner of Cook county. After taking office and carefully studying the records of the office of coroner, he concluded that the number of deaths by automobiles was appalling and started a campaign against reckless and careless driving and unnecessary auto deaths, effecting a 5 per cent decrease in the number of such deaths in this county, instead of the usual 25 per cent increase annually heretofore. To accomplish this he visited the principal eastern cities with a staff of newspaper men at his own expense gathering information to be used in framing a law which would make the streets of our city and county safe for the pedestrian, as well as for the safe and sane driver. With this data at hand, a law was framed and introduced in the legislature where its passage was opposed by the Chicago Automobile Club and Lee O'Neil Browne, one of the oldest members of the House of Representatives. This bill was framed after the Massachusetts law, and in spite of the fact the legislature was shown the records of Boston, Massachusetts, there was not sufficient in- terest aroused to gather a quorum in any committee meeting and the bill was killed in committee. During the first three and one-half months of this year Boston had two auto deaths and Chicago had one hundred and eighty-one; the entire State of Massachusetts had fifty-two such deaths and Cook county had one hundred and ninety-two during the same period. New York had less auto deaths than Chicago with twice the number of cars. During the past ten years Mr. Wolff has been engaged in the real estate business, dealing only in industrial sites in the Calumet region. He has been a republican all his life, is a member of the Hamilton Club, the Masons, the Woodmen of America and numerous other societies and clubs, was a delegate to the Constitutional Convention from his district and has always taken an active interest in public affairs and questions concerning the public welfare. He resides with his wife and one son and daughter at 10611 Avenue H, South Chicago. It must be said to the everlasting credit of Coroner Wolff that for 30 years prior to his advent into the coroner's office there was not one colored man who was thought to be good enough to serve in any capacity in that office, but being broad and liberal minded. Mr. Wolff had no more than settled down in his new and responsible office before he had the manly courage to select a bright and up-to-date colored man in the person of Mr. E. M. Cleaves as deputy coroner of Cook county. That is one reason why the colored men and women voters in this city and county should, on Tuesday, November 6, fall in line for Mr. Wolff and assist to put him over the top for coroner of Cook county.

Beam, democratic nominee for judge of the Supérior Court. Mr, Beam is the only ex-serv- ice ‘man entered as a candidate for judge at the Nov. 6 election. In seeking ‘election as judge Mr. ‘Beam is pushing ahead toward the realization of ambitions formed a dec- ade ago, when as clerk for the late Judge Thomas G. Windes he had charge of the routine work of the court. Working in the court by day and listening to the arguments of many of the city’s foremost attorneys. he spent his nights studying law. He served for three years as court clerk, first in Judge Winde's court rootn and later in that of the late Judge Frederick A. Smith. He had ‘opportunities during these years to learn the details of court procedure and the nature of the daties of jurists in the Circuit and Superior Courts. His days in court were as valuable as his evenings in a law class in gain- ing the groundwork of legal know!- edge needed for “the general practice of law. Early in 1916 he received his degree from the law school of Loyola Uni- versity. He was admitted to the bar in Juné, 1916, and resigned from his Position as court clerk to begin the practice of law. Except for a period in 1918 spent in the World War, he has been engaged in the practice of Jaw ever since. : For six years of that time he has been a — of the legal staff of Armour & €o. His work as an attor- ney for this concern has given him a wide variety of legal experience in Illinois courts and in’ those of other states. He was appointed assistant corporation counsel ‘of the city of Chi- cago last April and has served in that position ever since. He is past com- mander of the Armour post of the American Legion and has been active in pushin& relief work for disabled ‘veterans. “ Col. Albert A.

The supreme board, after due deliber- ation, recommended the above assess- ment; the recommendation was ap- proved by the committee on good of the order, and adopted by the con- vention. The following is quoted from the report of the committee on good of the order: “The supreme board of directors referred to the committee a proposi- tion sponsored by Brother William S.

Benson, having to do with the erection and maintenance of a memorial to His Eminence James Cardinal Gibbons, to be known as the Cardinal Gibbons In- stitute and to be devoted to the higher education of Negroes. It was pointed out to the committee that this insti- tute was one of the great works con- ceived by the late cardinal and one which was very dear to him, but which unfortunately he was anable to complete. As a memorial to his late eminence, his grace, Archbishop Cur- ley, has sanctioned the appeal for aid in continuing this work, which per- haps will be the one and only memo- rial erected to the memory of our late beloved cardinal, and as a result, the ‘supreme board have been appealed to for financial aid in this enterprise. ‘Therefore, in the belief that the Knights of Columbus can ill afford to CO-OPERATION 409 Palmer Building, Atlanta, Ga. OUR WEEK DAY SERMONETTE By Dr. H. T. S. Johnson, Interracial * Secretary for Oklahoma STEPS IN CHRISTIAN GROWTH “But grow in grace and in the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” 2 Peter 3:18. ‘The best possible evidence of life is growth. Grow or die is nature’s law. It is also the law of the spirit. Just as comply- ing with the laws of natural growth will assure physical development, so will compliance with the laws ot spiritual growth guarantee spiritual development. Time is an element in both physical and spiritual growth, I takes time to grow from infancy to maturity. Time is also required to grow from “babes in Christ” to the “fullness of the stature of manhood” in Him. We invite your consideration of the following steps in Christian growth: 1. Recognition of the value of little things. 2. Recognition of the necessity o! working alone with God. 3. Recognition of the necessity o! working with others for God. 4, Recognition of the fact that all things belong to God. 1. Recognition of the value of littie things. Little things are important because, accumulated or amplified they make big things, A snowflake is very small and insignificant, ye enough of them accumulated consti tute the avalanche which sweeps al things before it. A little thing—boil ing water in a tea-kettle—suggestec the steam engine. The little question why? with reference to a falling apple is responsible for Newton's discovery of the law of gravitation. A little sug. gestion by Harriet Beecher-Stowe’ sister was the thought which made possible “Uncle Tom's Cabin,” the greatest single factor in the abolitior of slavery in the United States, A lit. tle thing, the assassination of one o! the worst men in all Europe, plunged the world into the greatest war known to history. ‘Yes, little things are all important We cannot “grow in grace and in the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,” without a just apprecia tion of their importance. The littl word of kindness, the little deed o helpfulness, the little act of devotion factors in Christian growth, If the white and black people in this country ‘would properly value the little acts of ‘interracial co-operation for community welfare, the Stars and Stripes would a message to the eleven hundred ‘million colored peoples in this world (2) Recognition of the necessity of aloof from this movement to erect a fitting memorial to his emi- nence, Cardinal Gibbons, or from any project which will unlift the Catholic Negro who has .¢0 often been neg- lected by the more fortunate members ‘of the church, this committee concurs in the recommendation contained in the resoltttion of the board of direc- tors that five cents per capita be added fo the next annual assessment to assist the Cardinal Gibbons Institute and which resolution was referred to this committee with the request that it be reported on to the supreme council.” From the above paragraph it will ‘be seen that in the splendid action taken by the Knights of Columbus for the Cardinal Gibbons Institute two motives predominated: The desire to assist in the movement for the ad- vancement of the colored Catholics of the country; and the desire to assist to perpetuate the name of the great Cardinal for whom the institute will stand as a memorial. Cardinal Gib- bons purchased the two hundred acre farm as a site for the school. The board of trustees, with Archbishop Curley as its president, voted to name the new school the Cardinal Gibbons Institute and dedicate it as a memorial to the late cardinal for his work for the colored race. It is the first instit- tution to bear his name, Probably no other school as a memorial would be so. pleasing to him, who always, as a grue priest of God, wotked for the ‘welfare of the American Negro. The interest which he was awakening among the Catholics 6f the country in behalf of their colored brethren is just beginning to manifest itself, and in the next few years greater activity than ever before will be shown by the white Catholics for, the colored men. Other national Catholic organiza- tions are seriously considering assist- ing the Institute by donations or assessments. It is confidently ex- pected that several will follow the plan of the Knights of Columbus in a five-cent national assessment. If these expectations are realized, actual buildings can be erected during 1924 and the school opened in the fall, working alone with God. Though one with God is a majority, the average man does not so regard it. He feels lonesome unless he is in a crowd.. He will suppress personal conviction rather than be unpopular, This is why s00d-thinking, fair-minded peo- ple suffer without protest so many things against which their conscience rebels. The white press often main- tains an attitude of opposition or, at best, indifference to the Negro's wel- fare, because they think such an atti- tude satisfies the public. The Negro press responds in kind and, thus, the racial breach keeps open. Most white ministers are conspicuously silent on matters affecting rate relations. Study- ing the scriptures as they do, and think- ing ona high ethical plane about things generally, it must cost them many Pangs of conscience not to lead the fight against oppression and race hate. Negro ministers, instead of us- ing their influence, and eloquence to make peace between the races, pass the whole subject by and stress the good times that await us when we leave this world. The average citizen of both races excuses himself from any active responsibility in contribut- ing to better race relations. Thus the Press, the ministry, the average cit- izen, miss the help to Christian growth which working alone with Géd affords. (3) A recognition of the necessity of working with others for God. Big and helpful things are started by in- dividuals but they are carried through to success by a combination of inter- est and efforts. Business enterprises combine and make bigger business. Churches and clubs federate and put over larger and more effectual pro- grams, The best team work deter- mines the winner in the ball game. So does working with others for God bring greatest results in kingdom building. How, the church suffers when members fail to work together! The community that is dead or non- Progressive is the victim of too much individuality. Places where race fric- tion is at its worst are those where the two races fail to co-operate for mutual welfare. The greatest work the white man and the black man in America can do together for God is to ‘unite on a program of brotherhood, (4) A recognition of the fact that all thilgs belong to God. Weak and dependent as man is, he somehow has goticn the idea in his head that he is owner of the things im his possession. ‘He says, my money, my property, my talents, my time and my life. Acting upon that presumption, he uses his money, his property, his talents, his time and his life just as though God had no claim on them. Therefore Christianity lags, man euffers. and Jesus, our ee continues “a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.” The Lord's weeping over Jerusalem was indicative of more than present ‘sorrow. It was prophetic of His con- ing to be guilty of the sin of covet ness?. For do. yon not know when you refuse to lay your monty, your property, your talents, your time and your life on the altar of sacrifice to Him, you are a victim of covetness? ‘The Lord is sorrowfully waiting for men and women of all races to see that their past, influenced by pride and prejudice, has brought heartaches to all, and to recognize the necessity of practicing brotherhood one towards the other a step in Christian growth that will bring to this old world pros- perity and peace. UNUSUAL OCCUPATIONS FOR COLORED WOMEN ‘Gisetia Secstiey ‘There are 7 colored policewomen in the United States, Twenty-four colored women in the countty are mailearriers and 19 are “newsboys.” You will be surprised to know that of the 116 colored postmasters under Postmaster General New that 40 of these are colored women. Preferting personal service as a means of livelihood, 12,660 colored women have found employment as barbers, hairdressers and manicurists. While only 11 white females are engaged in shoe-shining as an avoca- tion, 22 colored women are thus em- ployed throughout the United States. If milady should not like the true feminine’ finish that her shoemaker applied to her last boots, she may pick among 28 colored women, en- gaged in the work in the country, to make her next pair. Of the 35,442 colored persons who follow the profession of teaching pub- lic schools in the United States, 29,189 are women, and 94 of these women have reached the age of 65 years and over. It is surprising to note the scarcity of colored stenographers in the United States. There are only 2,310 of these, of which 1,970 are women. Of the bookkeepers there are 2,284 colored, with 1,611 females. Perhaps that last driver of the taxi you used was too reckless and care- less. Call a woman taxi driver. You know there are 113 females among the 38,573 colored people doing this kind of work in the country. Or if you are entertaining special preferences for women, you can have colored females build your new house, with the exception of the plumbing and gasfitting, There are in the United States 34 colored women who are designers; 3 brick and stone masons; 26 carpenters; 3 plasterers; 8 painters, glaziers and: varnishers and 11 paper hangers.

SURPLUS WOMEN FORCING | SINGLE MORAL CODE ON BRITAIN, SAYS FARNOL New York.—The presence in Great Britain of 2,000,000 more women than there are men will result in the estab- lishment of a single moral standard for men and women and will wipe out laws stigmatizing children born out of wedlock, John Jeffery Farnol, Eng- lish author, said as he was sailing for home on the Adriatic, Woman suffrage is gaining in Eng- land, he said, and is bringing greater personal freedom for women. The large majority held by the feminine population, he added, will place wom- an’s sexual life on an equal basis with ‘that of man, “Women,” he explained, “will be forgiven where man is forgiven.” The novelist said the movement un- doubtedly would spread to parts of the United States, Polygamy would not solve the problem of the surplus of women, he asserts.

He has resided in Chicago and Cook county all his life; was educated in the common schools, Valparaiso University, University of Chicago, and the Law School of Northwestern Uni- versity; he was admitted to the bar in June, 1897, and has practiced law in Chicago ever since, with the.excep- tion of a short period when he was a judge of the Circuit Court of Cook county by appointment of Governor Lowden as the successor to Judge MeGoorty, who had resigned, He was a representative in the forty-ninth and fiftieth General As- semblies of Illinois; was chairman of the Republican Steering Committee of the House of Representatives of Illi nois in 1915, and of the Judiciary Committee of the same body in 1917; was a member of the recent Consti- tutional Convention of Illinois, and was chairman of its Committee on Judicial Department; on December 12, 1922, he was elected justice of the Su- preme Court of Illinois from the Seventh Supreme Judicial District, but owing to the defeat of the new con- stitution submitted at’ the same time, the two additional memberships. of that court, provided by that instru- ment, to one of which he was elected, were not created.

His candidacy for the office of judge of the Superior Court is endorsed, among others, by the Chicago Bar As- sociation, the Lawyers Association of Ilinois and the Better Government Association of Chicago and Cook county, Some of the outstanding facts in relation to his friendship for the colored people and right and justice are these: As a member of the Legis- lature of this state he was very active in his support of Hon. Robert R. Jackson's bill to suppress the “Birth of a Nation” and voted against it and as chairman of the Judiciary Commit- tee of the lower House at that time and he greatly assisted to kill off all the vicous legislation aimed at the colored race, As one of the foremost members of the Constitutional Convention he was the author of the following provi- sion in Bill of Rights in the new con- stitution that “laws shall be applic- able alike to all citizens, without re- gard to race or color.” At all times he has had the manly courage to stand shoulder to shoulder with Hon.

This open display of religious differences cannot but react to the damage of the Christian faith. "Missionaries, by offering one doctrine here, another close by and still another a few miles away, achieve little more than the complete bewilderment of the pagan native, and unless these organizations can get together, at least, to the extent of establishing spheres of influence, the natives will eventually return to their idols, upon the assumption that they do, at least, agree with each other." 98 882 D of Review of Cook County, One side Leaders of the Democratic when Friendly Disposed Towards explored People, and He Calls on All Parts of This City to Vote or Judge of the Superior Court THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, NOVEMBER 3. 1923 CHARLES E. STUMP, THE REGULAR OLD TIME TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AX, HAS LANDED AT SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, ON HIS WAY TO CHICAGO. HE IS NOT WELL YET, BUT HE CONTINUES TO IMPROVE IN HEALTH. San Antonio, Texas.—Here I am, once more back in the United States, yet I am not well, and I have a few friends who are rejoicing that I did not join President Warren G. Harding and make a trip to heaven from the Golden Gate. It was an easy thing to do, and I was right on the road to it. One month spent under Lane Hospital care has put me in better condition, yet I am not well and perhaps not out of danger yet. This has been a year of dropping off, and we have lost some strong men and women from the ranks, yet there are some left. One by one we are leaving; just changing worlds, that's all. I am ready to go when I am called, and as I leave I owe a debt of gratitude to Dr. George Cleveland Hall and others, and I am looking at Dr. Hall first, because of what he has done for me, and the manner in which he has fought them bugs. He is a fighter from Fightersville and I take off my hat to him, and even my head if necessary. A wonderful man In my last letter I had left San Francisco, even wended my way through Los Angeles, spent a few hours with some friends there, then on to Tucson, Arizona, spending a night there. I am now getting around in sections, doing only that which is necessary and resting and sleeping all I can, and this has been a help to me. Mrs. Homer Dean went with me to the bed car, placed me therein and told the porter to take good care of me, because I had been sick, and he assured her that he would, and he did. He was on his way to Kansas City and found pleasure in looking after Col. Stump. There were not so many sleeping people in his bed car, and I had a fine time. Just before we pulled into Tucson he transferred me to another, as his did not go into the main station. Rev. Cornelius had been looking for me, but when I did not permit the first iron horse to pull me into town, he thought I must have been unable to make the trip, so when I reached town there was a young man working at the stable, and believe me, he called a taxable, placed me in it, and sent me to the house of the preacher. We went over to look at the school under charge of Prof. C. C. Simmons with two assistant teachers. Fine set of young people. He is a Tuskegee graduate and the teachers said that they had seen me before at various places. I was delighted to see these struggling young people. Remained in the town all night, then off to another part of the world. That was El Paso. This is where I came in contact with my good friend, Bishop William Decker Johnson, the man with a vision, the man who is doing so much in Texas. He has his hand right in the hands of his men and they love him like a father. He is kind and sympathetic. Kindness will win every time. Not a boss, but just a great big brother. I went into the conference, and the men received me like I was a big African Methodist instead of a Baptist. They said that their prayers had gone to the Throne for me, and I believe it. I did not know that I had so many friends and the people thought so much of me. But such is life. Speaking of people thinking so much of me, here comes to me a check for $25 from Miss Lena Plantevigne, one for $25 from Dr. A. M. Townsend of the Sunday School Publishing Board of the National Baptist convention, one from Prof. John R. Hawkins, financial secretary for the A. M. E. church, one for $5 from Dr. J. P. Wragg of the American Bible Society, New York, all telling me to take good care of myself, and not to rush out too soon. Take time and get well, for the race wants me a little longer. I wonder why should I be wanted? Just as soon as God gets ready for me, I am going up to join so many others who have gone ahead. Do you blame me? Certainly not. I remained over night and all day Sunday in El Paso, then off for this place, stopping at Uvalde to break the ride, and was the guest of Mrs. F. E. Harris and her daughter Miss Lyda Harris, both teachers, and they are dong well. It was a nice thing to spend a night in a country home, and the next morning I was off for the place where I am now and where I have spent the week. For a week I have been the guest of Dr. S. J. Johnson and his wife and son, and believe me, I have been a guest. Mrs. Johnson has acted as nurse, see to it that I had my medicine right on time each day and that I had plenty of sleep, and such as I was permitted to eat. I have jumped from 250 down to 230, and still going down. My clothes hardly touch me anywhere. It was a pleasure to spend a whole week in San Antonio, the health resort for people suffering with T. B., and so is El Paso. This is where the Southwest Texas conference is holding its annual meeting, presided over by Bishop William Decker Johnson. It brought here many visitors, those aspiring for episcopal honors in the A. M. E. church, men wanting to be bishops, general officers and even the secretary of the general conference drop in to shake hands with the delegate, Dr. R. S. Jenkins, He, by reason of his position, succeeded Bishop Johnson when he was raised up to a higher position, and now he must be elected. Dr. Jenkins is a good secretary, and doubtless will be elected. The Texas woods are full of men feeling that God wants them to be bishops, and they are getting around now for fear God will not know where to find them. They are leaving their names and addresses It is wonderful how God calls men to be bishops and then they are not elected. Do we mean by that to say that God is a failure? I would not say it, but then we use the question mark from time to time. All the men who want to be bishops should file their name and address somewhere about the Throne. But you will put it down that I told you that all of Texas will get behind Dr. S. J. Johnson for secretary of the Church Extension Society, and looking from this angle he is going to be elected. He is a well-trained, deserving man, and a friend to all the men. He is modest and a hard worker, and if you meet him he will just make you love him. He has a son, now with his shingle out, "Johnson's Electric Company," and he is the whole company, Coppin R. Johnson. He is a brilliant young man, making his way to the top. I would like to talk about Mrs. Lillian M. Johnson, the wife, the teacher, the worker, but will not this week. Mrs. L. M. Hughes, the connectional president of the Woman's Home and Foreign Mission convention of the A. M. E. church, is on hand, giving inspiration to the ministers and women of the church. When it came to electing delegates, a resolution was passed suspending the rule and authorizing the secretary to cast the unanimous vote for Dr. S. J. Johnson for the leader of the delegation, an honor which comes to but few men. The other delegates elected had a battle of ballots. They were W. O. Boyd, M. L. Pendergraf, J. W. McDade, H. A. Young, W. S. Mitchell and E. A. Anderson. The laymen are T. A. Johnson and M. W. Brooks. They were elected last May But, let me here pause and call your attention to the death of a great woman of this race of ours, Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, but I do not need to call your attention to it, for you know this already. She was a great worker. One by one we are dropping out. She was a wonderful worker and a great woman. No more is she with us. She has gone to join the other great men and women of this race who have gone ahead. But Mrs. Talbert has erected her monument, for while she was president of that national organization of women she built a monument by purchasing the home once owned by Frederick Douglass. It was a great thing. It is now held for the race as a national museum. Our boys and girls who read of Frederick Douglass will be able to see where he lived, where he would go to get out his speeches, some of the hats he wore, some of the canes he used. It will be to them a source of inspiration. It is a great thing to get above the rank and take your place at the top and people will honor you after you are dead and will keep your name living as well as your deeds. One by one we are passing out, but I must not pause to discuss this, for still the people are praying for me I had a letter from Prof. Charles Spencer Smith of Wilberforce University last week and one from Dr. C. B. Charlton of Beaumont. They are sorry to learn of my illness and declare they are praying for me. CHARLES E. STUMP.

Prindville; Coroner, vacancy, William G. Legner; County Commissioner, City vacancy, Daniel Ryan, Jr. It is rare that any man attains the popularity that has come to Judge Joseph B. David in the seven years on the Superior Court bench. He has endeared himself to all classes by the courage and ability he has shown in every emergency. He has in administering his great office known no race, color or creed. He has hewed to the line of right and the chips have fallen where they were due to fly, everywhere. Recently it has been necessary for him to speak out on the subject of the hooded enemies of the republic. He boldly announced that no man who was opposed to the administration of the law by the duly constituted authorities was a fit person to sit on a jury and pass upon the rights of the lawabiding. The Ku Klux Klan was panished from his court and other judges, after some hesitation have followed his lead. His example has dealt a stunning blow to these enemies of the state and they are determined, as far as in their power lies to punish him by defeating him for the bench. If they outnumber the good and lawabiding in the county they will succeed. They are in a minority, but that minority threatens under orders from Atlanta to defeat him at all costs. It is the duty of those who need a strong exponent of law and order on the bench to make up what the Ku Klux will make him lose, and more. In a critical situation in Kentucky once Henry Watterson advised his fellows to "leave nothing to chance." We must make Judge David's calling and election sure. We have an opportunity to elect a great lawyer, a citizen of courage and a man whose heart is big enough to hold boundless love for all his fellowmen. Judge David is all of these good things and more. He was one of many hundreds who voted against putting the word white in the constitution of the American Bar Association when William H. Lewis, then assistant attorney general of the United States, was proposed for membership. He has on many occasions inquired whether the effect of remanding a petitioner would be to return him or her to slavery, in violation of the thirteenth amendment. Whenever he has found this true he has acted not only promptly but so decidedly that the slave seeker slunk away and gave up his quest. In a long life one might not have an opportunity now afforded to save for his country so rare a combination of brain and heart as will come to us on the sixth of November in electing Judge David.

Dear sir: I desire to protest against the unfair treatment received by Edward H. Morris at the hands of the Chicago Bar Association and its committee. It is unfortunate that such a direct insult should be offered to the colored people of Chicago. It does no good to the feeling that already exists due to very narrow views of many people. The committee's report on the candidates for judges stated that Edward H. Morris was a colored man. They might as well have given the nationality or race of every other candidate on the ticket, and the ticket is made up of various nationalities. They stated that he was a man who had a large practice, mainly in criminal cases. I know of no reason why a lawyer engaged in the defense of those charged with crime should not be a good judge, but, as a matter of fact, Mr. Morris' practice has been mainly civil for many years, which fact must have been known to the committee [Image of a man in a suit with a tie and a cap, facing slightly to the right].

We have had many judges who came directly from the State's Attorney's office and whose sole experience had been in the criminal courts, and this is the first time I have ever known this matter to be referred to in a re- port of the committee. The report also says that he would not be a fit man for the bench. Every man familiar with Mr. Morris' attainments and practice of the law in the City of Chicago knows perfectly well that in legal ability, disposition and everything else that goes to make a judge, he is the peer of any man on either ticket. This must have been known both to the committee and the members of the bar who voted at the bar primary. The statement of the committee that he would not make a fit judge must have been prompted solely by his color. The small vote he received at the bar primary was due solely to his color. I guarantee that if any one doubts this and will ask the lawyers whom they meet in Chicago indiscriminately, 90 per cent of them will say of Mr. Morris what I have said. I say it not only from his general reputation as a lawyer, but from a long personal acquaintance, friendship and experience with him in court. Aside from his ability as a lawyer, he was for many years a member of legislature. During one session, I was a member with him and I can say emphatically that there was no abler man in the legislature than Mr. Morris. I know of no man on either ticket who is better qualified or whom I believe that would make a better judge, and I trust that the colored voters of this City will give him such a vote as emphatically to show their disapproval of the report of the committee and the action of the bar. Very truly yours. Clarence S.

Hon. Oscar Hebel, Republican can- didate for re-election for Judge of the Superior Court of Cook County, whose mame appears at the top in the Repub- ican column and there seems to be not the slightest doubt about his re- tion. Judge Hebel has been in the public éye so long that nothing can be said in these columns to add to his pop- ularity. Prior to his elevation to the Superior Court bench he honorably served as one of the members of the Board of Assessors of Cook County, where he made thousands of warm friends among all classes of his fellow-citizens, and from that time to the present many colored people have been num- ered among them, ~ 4 Aside from the Chicago Bar Asso- ciation, the Cook County Bar Associa. tion, the head officials of the Chicag Federation of Labor have also wheeles into line and endorsed him for re-elec tion for Judge of the Superior Cour ‘of Cook County, ‘and he is bound t be re-elected on Tuesday, Novembe the top to the bottom. It is freely contended that all of the ‘old. sitting Judges, both Democrats and Republicans, will be re-elected for they have been tried and not found wanting. CLEANING UP THE PREACHER GAME Rev. Tom Smith and Rev. Elijah Mosely have not only brought dis- grace upon themselves, but have brought the stamp of suspicion and distrust upon the name of those who are really the ambassadors of the lowly Nazarene by their ridiculous conduct last week. Think of a minister brewing booze for sale and for the enjoyment of his fellow associates and their consorts in ‘one room, while another “divine” and his white consort were in bed in an- other room, and while the trusting members of his flock out at Monta- villa were laboring and begging the public for funds with which to. pay his salary and the indebtedness on the church, To say the least, this is certainly a hard blow to the colored ministry. Rev. Smith has lived in Portland for a number of years, and when the ‘opportunity presented itself, he ex- horted the people to the good life and the way to heaven. He was also ‘a day laborer and has long borne the reputation of a liar and a grafter in the name of his church by fleecing white business men out of money to finance his church, which did not exist. On several occasions, The Ad- yocate’s attention has been called by white friends to the Rev. Smith’s methods, and in turn we have reported his case to others of the ministry who seemed powerless to stop him. But now that he has been caught manu- facturing booze for sale, fined, jailed and thoroughly disgraced, maybe it will be the end to his operations in this community. The Rev. Mr. Mosely, it is said, has eft for parts unknown. He was prac- tically new to-the community and only a few days ago came to The Advocate office asking for introductions to those of the other race who might be will- ing to help him in his church work. As we had not been acquainted with him very long, and remembering an- other preacher this church had not long ago in the person. of Rev. Lowe, who was a crook pure and simple and who since has served time in a New York penitentiary, we told him that we would see what we could do for him at a later time, Now The Advo- cate, along with the colored popula- tion, is prond that these men have been exposed and that we are rid of two crooked elders at one and the same time—The Advocate, Portland, Ore., Oct, 27, 1923, i Chicago is infested with many whis- key drinking and lady loving preach- ers like unto Revs. Smith and Mosely, who are a burning disgrace to their sacred calling and they should be driven out of this city without further delay —Editor. CHARLES BANK DIES Memphis, Teon—Chas, Banks of Mound Bayou, Mississippi, died at Memphis, Tenn, last Saturday, fol- lowing an attack of acute indigestion. Mr. Banks had been ill for some time, but was thought to be on the toad to permanent recovery. He was nationally known in politics and busi ness. At the time of his death he was first vice-president of the National Negro Business Leagné, and was at jone time cashier of a bank at Mound Bayou.

We want to make certain that every colored voter ‘goes to the polls on Tuesday next and insures the re-election of Judge David by the biggest vote ever given a judge jin this county. ¢ Ever since the Civil War was over ve have been hoping and hoping that some man would be big enough and ‘courageous enough to really support the constitution at all times. Again and again we have been disappointed. ‘We have gone to the polls and blindly voted for Republicans on the theory that in the Republican party we would find our protection and our rights, but sad to relate our lawyers have left courtroom iter courtroom sad at heart over the treatment accorded them and their clients. ~ Now, when for seven years it has been proven to us that there is one man on the bench in Cook county who has absolutely no prejudice in his courtroom. who recognizes no dis- tinction in. color, race or creed, we must stand up and show to the world that we appreciate the miracle which has happened, Judge David has in- curred the enmity of that insidious group which is trying to undermine ‘our government and proclaims itself greater than the law. Yt takes cour- age for men in high places to oppose that group, but Judge David has the courage. He is fearless, he respects his oath of office and he believes in supporting the constitution of the United States. We should be happy that the opportunity has presented itself for the colored people to show their grateful appreciation, The citi- zens of Cook county need men on the bench of the type of Judge David. The colored citizens need him more than anybody else and no colored man or woman should forget to go to the polls on Tuesday next and vote for Judge David, whose name appears in third place in the Democratic column. Politics should play no part in the selection of judges. Whether we are Republicans or Democrats, our loyalty. to our group, our respect for ourselves should force us to vote for Judge David and to see to it that every other colored voter does the same thing. It will be a calamity for us if Judge David is not re-elected and we have the opportunity to return to the bench the one man, who above all men in public life in this city, has proven faithful to his trust and has given us a fair deal. Vote for Judge David! WHITE MEN AND NEGRO WO. MEN ARE TAKEN IN RAID Houses Operated by Negro Women ‘Yields Up 22 Whites, Who Were ‘Hiding in Every Place Possible bila ae tae beltis aor acd New Orleans, La—When the po- lice swooped down on the “rooming houses” operated by Mrs. Julia Wash- ington and Mrs. Fannie Mitchell, re- sulting in rounding up twenty-two white men holding a party with white and Negro women partners, who were charged with disturbing the peace.

Police say that white men were found under the beds, ‘in closets, and, in fact, in every pos- sible hiding place. ‘One white man, who is said to be a very prominent business man here declared that he usually took his meals at the Washington house whet- ever he felt like it, His name is Thomas J.

THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, NOVEMBER 3. 1923 MANY OF THE LEADING COLORED PREACHERS IN THIS CITY ARE CALLING ON THE COLORED PEOPLE TO ASSIST TO RE-ELECT HON. JOSEPH B. DAVID JUDGE OF THE SUPERIOR COURT OF COOK COUNTY Judge Joseph B. David is a candidate for re-election to the bench of the Superior Court of Cook county. Our enemies are determined to defeat him. We must make it our business to re-elect him. No better lawyer ever sat on the bench; no fairer man ever held or sought public office. We recommend Judge David; we believe he is entitled to the vote of every citizen of Cook county, but certainly of every colored citizen and voter. Judge David has shown during his seven and more years on the bench and as a lawyer before his elevation to his present place of power and responsibility, that he believes in giving every man, whatever his race, color or creed, a square deal and an impartial trial, according to the law of the land. He is absolutely fearless and vigorously courageous. At all times and under all circumstances he has stood up for the right as he has seen and believed the right. He has shown that he cannot be awed by influence or bought by gain to swerve from the right, regardless of all questions of popularity. He has made so great a judge that there would be no necessity to call upon you except that his fairness has aroused the enmity of the enemies of good government; and these enemies are our enemies.

Foell, Republican candidate for re-election as Judge of the Superior Court is just honorably ending his second term. He was first elected in 1911 and re-elected in 1917. Cook County has had in the past many able and brainy Judges but none of her past or present painstaking Judges can or have surpassed Judge Foell, when it comes down to expounding all of the laws of the great State of Illinois. Judge Foell has been endorsed in his race for re-election by the Chicago Bar Association, by the Cook County Bar Association and by the Chicago Federation of Labor. From April 1, 1906 down to the present time Judge Foell, who is one of our warmest friends in this city has been a constant reader and supporter of this newspaper and we feel confident that on Tuesday, November 6, that he will make a swift home run and land back in the County Building, where he can continue to honorably serve as Judge of the Superior Court. The fight is ours! We must make up for his losses incurred in his fight for equal and exact justice. Our loyalty to friends must not be questioned. Judge David is the friend of the oppressed; we are oppressed by Judge David's enemies. The election is November 6; women can vote and they will show their right by voting for their friend. If you are not registered you can vote by affidavit on the day of election. Judge David's name is third in the Democratic column. Justice is above party in this crisis. We must elect this true and tried friend at whatever cost of party. Signed by: Rev. W. D. Cook, pastor of the People's church; Rev. C. M. Tanner, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church; Bishop A. D.

That is the question that Professor Harold E. Williams is asking Toledo fathers in lecture and questionnaire. Professor Williams is principal of Toledo's new South End school, Libby High, and former principal of Woodward Tech, where he gained the reputation of controlling unruly boys and at the same time gaining their confidence and respect. In his talks Professor Williams said he had gained much good for the home, the boy and the school through his questionnaire for dads, and that very few could mark themselves 100 per cent. Here Are Some Questions The questions contained in it include: “Your boy is filled with power for good or evil. Are you studying it so that you can wisely direct it? “It is your privilege to solve your boy's problems. Does he bring them to you? If not, why not? “How much time do you spend with your boy? Standard, 10 hours per week, one hour equals 1 point. “Do you participate in your boy's recreation, hilkes, outings, athletics, etc.? Direct His Reading “Good books are a blessing; others are a curse. Do you direct your boy's reading? Ever read with him? "Do you have a plau for training your boy in self-reliance and self-confidence? "Are you teaching your boy to earn, save and spend wisely? "The problem of discipline, unless properly handled, often leaves a trail of regret. Do you have a plan? "Have you observed any special unusual ability which indicates a fitness for any special line of life work?" It is high time for the "dads" all over this country to become more deeply interested in the welfare of their sons and daughters and prevent them from rushing on the downward road to destruction—Editor.

The paper was drafted in a conference of Virginia editors and has since been signed personally by more than fifty other editors of leading dailies in North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisiana. Practically every man to whom it was presented readily attached his name. It is believed, therefore, that with few exceptions, it fairly represents the attitude of the Southern press as a whole. The statement follows: "In the attainment and maintenance of improved interracial relations in our Southern states we believe that a policy of co-operation between the more thoughtful of both races is fundamental, this being the antithesis of antagonism and polemic discussion. "Mutual helpfulness between whites and blacks should be encouraged; the better element of both races striving by precept and example to impress the interdependence of peoples living side by side, yet apart. "The Negroes of the South are largely dependent upon the white press for current news of the day. It would be well if even greater effort was made to publish news of a character which is creditable to the Negro, showing his development as a people along desirable lines. This would stimulate him to try to attain to a higher standard of living. "We do not believe that education suited to the needs of the individual of any race is harmful. It is a generally accepted fact that in both races if the entire mass were educated, industrial problems would adjust themselves automatically and the less fit of either race would find the work and place for which he was best equipped. It has been authoritatively stated that the Negro demand would absorb all teachers, preachers, physicians and lawyers the schools may turn out. "The influence of the thoughtful men of both races should be invoked in the effort to establish and assure equality before the law for Negro defendants in all criminal trials. "Abatement of mob rule and its crimes is an aim to which all good citizens should pledge their support." "In the harmonious co-operation of the thoughtful and exemplary men and women of both races lies the prospect of larger understanding and better interracial relations." The conference of editors which drafted the above statement was called by Mr. R. W. Miles, a field representative of the Interracial Commission, by whom it was also brought to the attention of the other signers.

ACTIVITIES OF CHURCH IN RACE RELATIONS Urban League News If the Negro problem is, as some observers say, the acid test of Christianity, at least, there is a beginning in church circles to realize the responsibility. During the year that has just passed there has been great activity among white Christians in matters affecting the Negro. In educational and missionary projects alone over $5,000,000 have been expended. Of this amount Northern Methodists have expended $1,250,000 and Northern Presbyterians over three-fourths of a million. Not all activity is on the right side of the ledger, however. For the good Christian citizens of North Nashville have protested vigorously against the plan of the Southern Baptists to buy an abandoned Catholic School and transform it into a Baptist Theological Seminary for Negroes. Of course, they did not object to turning over the abandoned school, but they thought that the proposed school should be in a Negro neighborhood. Again, the Tuskegee Committee on Temperance and Social Service of the Methodist Episcopal Church South tried to whitewash the "organized interference" with Tuskegee which had been denounced by Bishop Cannon, following the Ku Klux Klan parade at Tuskegee. Mr. William Pickens also cautions his readers against expecting too much from the unification of the Northern and Southern branches of the Methodist Episcopal church. He might also have cautioned them against rejoicing prematurely over the decision of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian church making Negroes "eligible" to serve on the four important boards of that church. They were to be appointed "when expedient." But the recent history of the Catholic church is more encouraging. Mgr. Burke has spoken of the need for colored priests. Pope Benedict XV has issued positive instructions for the ordination of priests of all races. So much for talk. Concrete instances bearing out the talk are the dedication in Mississippi of St. Augustine's Mission House as the first seminary to train Negro priests, and the $40,000 gift by the Knights of Columbus toward the Cardinal Gibbons Institute for similar purposes. It is hoped the latter will be ready for use in the fall of 1924. Wise recognition, this, of the 250,000 Negro Catholics of the United States. Along with these brighter signs of the times may be cited in conclusion the clear statement of the recent General Unitarian Conference, which resolved: That this conference puts on record its unqualified condemnation of that evil spirit of intolerance, bigotry and hate, which manifests itself in acts of violence and persecution designed to intimidate or to deprive of their legal rights-any of our fellow human beings, of whatever race, color or creed. We commend to our churches participation in these inter-racial committees which are seeking that better mutual understanding, which is the only way out of the clash of diverse race and conflicting interests. Due to the movement having for its purpose the transfer of the bones of Gen. James Edward Oglethorpe from England to Georgia, a mass of interesting data concerning the life of the founder of the colony, now the State of Georgia, is being brought to light. An anomaly, disassociated with the name Georgia, is that Oglethorpe was one of the first anti-slavery advocates in England. NATION-WIDE ENTHUSIASM IN CAMPAIGN TO FREE HOUSI TON MARTYRS, SAYS N. A. New York.—James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, has issued a statement saying that the campaign for the freeing of the 54 members of the 24th Infantry still imprisoned in Leavenworth penitentiary for their share in the Houston riot had met with unprecedentedly enthusiastic response throughout the nation. "Not only ought we to have the 100,000 signatures with which we hoped to go before President Coolidge, asking him to pardon the 54 members of the 24th Infantry who are still in prison," said Mr. Johnson. "but we ought to have a considerable number above that figure. Hardly a colored newspaper in the country but has spread the news of this campaign to free the Houston martyrs. Churches and fraternal organizations have taken it up and signatures are being obtained by the thousand everywhere. One colored man in New York City took petitions into the offices of the Standard Oil Building, and although those petitions have not yet come in, we are informed that high officers of the Standard Oil Company have signed them. "I want to say a special word about the work of fraternal organizations. They have been doing yeoman service and their members have been spreading the word about this campaign and turning in large numbers of signatures. The churches, too, have been responding valiantly and there is every indication that the church services on Sunday, November 11, Houston Martyrs Day, will make an impression on the entire nation. It should be remembered that November 11 is also Armistice Day, the day that marked the end of the great war in which colored American soldiers played such an important part. "Colored Americans have found a stirring task in this campaign and I am glad to say that they are working together in the finest possible spirit. We are looking forward to the time when the fine, upstanding and clean boys in Leavenworth penitentiary will be able to walk out of there free men." MARY B. TALBERT Past President N. A. C. W. Board of N. A. A. C. P. By Mary F. Waring "When came the word that she had gone, not this my thought that 'Here a journey ends, but rather shall we think of her as radiant with love and love's unending power. Hence, on a new quest starts an eager spirit. No dread, no doubt, but henceforth onward, clearly seeing and perfecting in greater tasks than earth-born thoughts can know. Mary B. Talbert was a great and resourceful woman, a genius. Genius is never explicable; long years of close association failed to disclose the intricate mechanism of her power. She had a charm and attraction unusual in one so fully occupied. A genial smile that awakened the heart to joy of life and an appreciation of the beautiful. She enobled any work she undertook. A woman whose wonderful power of perception and acute analysis gave her power to see clearly and whose great soul had the magnanimity to give the vision to the world. While taking a woman's tender interest in all things sweet and gentle, yet she had a constructive mind that in its strength and boldness was distinctively masculine. We who knew her best admired her perseverance and loyalty. Her troubles were the weapons with which she won and her opponents often became her stanch supporters. Mary B. Talbert did not achieve her aims nor carry out her projects without opposition. The path to fame was not flower strewn and some of the scars from the briars left a lasting mark. She was forgiving and generous to a fault. No sacrifice was too great for those she loved. The heritage of her progeny is rich in pleasant memories and the generations yet unborn will learn to cherish the memory of our friend for the deeds that she hath wrought. Her finished work of the restoration of the Douglass Home at Washington D. C., will stand as a lasting monument. The Spingarn medal, which was so justly awarded her, will go down to her postity, an everlasting reminder of the appreciation and esteem in which she was held by her contemporaries. In company with her daughter, Mrs. Sarah Mae Kulan, and the undersigned she visited many European countries. She has a beautiful personality and could bring the condition and facts of the American Negroes' relations to the United States in a clear manner to people of any country. The injustices of our people were a heavy problem which THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, NOVEMBER 3, 1923 she was ever trying to solve. The last letter we received from her was delivered the day of her death It expressed sympathy and love in our great bereavement and hope and trust in Divine wisdom. Each day had its work, so let us "Live our best act our best and think out best today for today is the preparation for tomorrow and eternity." SOCIAL ITEMS AND OTHER NEWS By Charles Stewart, Jr. Mississippi Club Endorses Hon. E. H.

SIONILLI ADELPHIA GIRLS Miss Leona Geigler, 509 E. 34th Pl., entertained the Sionilli Adelphia Girls Club, last Sunday afternoon. The meeting proved to be one of exceptional interest as plans were being made as to how the club would divide among the poor, the funds it made from the Masquerade Ball it presented to the public at St. Elizabeth's Hall, 21 E. 41st St., on October 24th. After the plans and many other matters were discussed the club adjourned until Saturday evening when Miss, Irene Samuels, 606 E. 42nd St., entertained at their Whist Tournament. IMPROVING Mr. W. H. Liles, 5922 Aberdeen St, has for the past several weeks been ill, suffering with a severe case of la gripe. His attending physician feared pneumonia, but Mr. Liles states that he is now out of danger and is rapidly recovering. HOPE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH The young members of the Hope Presbyterian Church, 61st and Loomis Blvd., conduct their Young People's Meeting each Sunday evening from 7 to 8 o'clock. On last Sunday a very interesting program was presented as follows: Piano Selection, Miss Ruth French; Reading, Mr. Alphonso Crusor; Vocal Selection, Mrs. Mabel Wright; Reading, Mr. John Walker; Five Minute Sermon, "For the Point of the Pin," Rev. W. Edward Williams. The Church holds its Sunday morning services at 11 A. M., Sunday School at 12:45 and evening services at 8 P. M. Plans are being made for their ten-day bazaar which is to be held this month. This Bazaar is to feature a baby contest, old fashion spelling contest and many other forms of entertainment. The funds are to aid the church in purchasing a new pipe organ. DECEASED At 6 A. M., Friday, October 26, Miss Gorivia Gant, 14, 6044 S. Elizabeth St., departed this life. Leakage of the heart caused her death. Services were held at The Englewood Mission Apostolic Faith Church, 61st and Ada Street. She leaves a mother, five brothers, ten sisters, two aunts, and two uncles to mourn her loss. The many friends of the family extend their deepest sympathy to the bereaved mother, owing to the fact that two weeks previous to the death of her daughter, she lost her husband.

COULD ENFORCE PROHIBI TION BUT NO LAWS FOR LYNCHING Washington.—At the exact moment that Senator Carter Glass of Virginia was inweighing against' Congressman Hill of Maryland for violation of the Volstead law, in permitting wine to ferment in his cellar, a Negro named Carter was being taken from the Virginia authorities, near Richmond, to be lynched. Senator Glass was speaking before the Citizenship Conference, in session here last week and said: "If Congressman Hill was in Virginia I would find an officer who would arrest him if he allowed wine to ferment in his cellar or his parlor, either. In Virginia we teach respect for the law by punishing its violators, and that is why Virginia is a law-abiding community." If what the senator was saying was literally true, probably Carter, who was accused of attacking a white woman, might have had a trial by a jury in order that the facts could be disclosed, instead of displaying that the Virginians would rather take a life than take a drink. Powder Puffs' Toll of Swamp Forty thousand swans are killed each year to supply the world's demand for powder puffs. The best swandown for this purpose comes from Norway, the young birds being hatched out in May or early June and killed the following winter. The price of the commodity has risen so greatly since the war that many new swan farms have been established in Sweden and the Baltic islands. To Preserve Rope Copper applied in a solution of oil is now being used instead of tar for preserving marine. Marine pests eat the tar out of the rope and then devour the rope itself, but with the copper-impregnated rope there is no damage resulting from marine pests. The copper bulks less, weighs less and costs less to apply than the tar. Ocean Swells and Ocean Waves Ocean swells and Ocean waves The two words really mean the same thing, but in practical use a distinction is made. Swell is the name given to ocean waves not produced by wind in the locality in which they are met. They are, however, set in motion by storms occurring at a distance. Flow of Great Rivers The amount of water deposited by the Mississippi river per minute is 121,500,000 cubic feet. The total discharge of the St. Lawrence is 67,800,000 cubic feet per minute.

Bright Colors in Late Fall Styles Many Costumes Carry East Indian Note; New Dress With Coat-Top. Resplendent colors and novelty materials are a feature of the new clothes, writes a Paris fashion correspondent in the New York Tribune. Prominent among the emphatic notes are the Hindo-Chinese effects. One needs only to study the records of the moguls to realize how closely allied are the present-day fashions to their mode of dress. In the Bibliotheque Nationale at Paris is to be found a wonderful collection of hand illuminated and hand-illustrated books, done by Italian artists, which set forth particularly the costume history of the great moguls. The house of Agnes shows in replica many points of the picturesque dress of these people. One recalls that just prior to the great war Paris fashions went through a period of minaret styles and these Hindo-Chinese effects are from the same source. But in the present-day interpretations fashion has escaped the minaret skirt and it is the coat, or polonaise, that has been adapted—the flaring bell-shaped postillon or basque set onto a close-fitting, long-waisted body. Thus it is the masculine Mogul style that Paris is exploiting for autumn—the coat of the Grand Mogul himself, and not those of the women of his barem. Any number of costumes bear this East Indian note. At first sight it seems as if it were a two-piece garment, that there was a narrow foundation and over this a flaring coat of three-quarters length. But the new feature is really a dress with a coat top and not a two-piece costume. In a clever manner the flaring tunic and the narrow skirt are attached and one is a complementary part of the other, though they may differ both in color and in material. Sumptuous fabrics are employed for these modes. Or if the fabric is plain it is a brilliant color and often marvelously embroidered and jeweled. Developed From White Velvet. One of the most interesting dresses of this sort is a model called Pagode. It is developed from white velvet richly embroidered from white velvet richly embroidered in gold and in black silk. At the edge of the three-quarters length sleeves and the godet tunic is a band of black velvet, and bordering all is a deep band of dark brown fur. This model is almost exactly like the coats worn by titled rulers during the period of the Grand Moguls. The body is straight and close-fitting, with a low walstline and three-quarter tunic faring widely over a very narrow foundation. The sleeves are long and bell shaped and the neck is collarless. There is an opening down the front of the blouse characteristic of the Oriental garment which slips on over the head. Another beautiful Hindu model is Korgane. It is developed in red velvet with gold embroidery in an elaborate all-over pattern with deep borders of fur. This silhouette is exactly the same as that of Pagode. Separate coats are cut on these same faring lines. Many of them are made of the new woolen and metal Smryna cloth which bid fair to be 1 Model of Shaded Pink Crepe Geogette Embroidered in Rhinestones on Border of Odd-Shaped Flouces. immensely popular this winter, replacing to no small extent the elaborately embroidered coatings of the last season. The Smyrnas are an important group. They are what is known in the trade as the carpet weave, being woven with a looped surface either in an all-over effect or in a brocade or plaid pattern. One lovely design shows a sort of Japanese landscape effect in raised loop pattern on a background of contrasting color. Another Smyrna novelty in plaid pattern imitates in coloring and design the famous clan tartans of Scotland. A third type is a Smyrna brocade, the design of which suggests the foliage of the jungle. Imitate Hand-LOoW Shawla. Gashmere patterns, which imitate perfectly old-fashioned hand-loom shawls, are shown in a beautiful series of patterns. One of the best is that Tilefish Plentiful Tlefish, related to the codfish, lives over a wide area and in enormous numbers, and is considered excellent eating, but fishery of it has never been developed. called Chambord. Another interesting one is Radjany and a third Ramayana. All three are in the intricate design of Cashmere and Persia. One wonders how it is possible for a machine to weave with such exquisite and infinite detail. Another cloth which promises to have great, popularity is Marcarillo. This is a sort of velours de laime with a pattern in contrasting color which takes the form of stripes. And along with the craze for these fancy weaves one finds that the autumn silk jersey cloths are being elaborately embroidered all over in varitones. A great many three-piece suits in which the jacket wrap is three-quarters and seven-eighths length are shown. Many of the dresses are in straight chemise form with the coat in straight, close-fitting style or in the gored, fared effect. The latter is "distinctly newer. Some of the three-piece suits have long tunic bodies made of metal bro THE FASHION WEEKLY An Attractive Dress of White Velvet With Black and Gold Embroidery and Winsome Deep Fur Border.

One wonders if this anticipates the very long overblouse as a possible sequence to this new fashion. One of these long smocks or tunic blouses is developed from cyclamen velvet with self-tone embroideries. A black velvet dress which is one of the most showy rhinestone embroidered models is called Conquerante. The entire back of the corsage is made of a mesh of rhinestones and through the interstices of the jeweled pattern the flesh is revealed. Embroidered in Rhinestones Devinette is another beautiful evening dress trimmed with rhinestones. It is developed from black satin, while Magiclennie is a black velvet model, on the skirt of which appears a deep flaring flounce made entirely of rhinestone embroidery. A very young looking model called Petite Fille is in three tones of pink georgette. The skirt is made of three-shaped flouces which, beginning on one side, have straight edge bands finishing in an overlapping end in deep cascading points. These odd-shaped flouces, of which there are three, are each bordered with a band of rhinestone embroidery and there is an interesting rhinestone embroidered motif which trims the side of the skirt and finishes on the bodice in a sort of pocket design. Juno, another lovely creation, is in green, with broad bands of rhinestone embroidery encircling the close-fitting straight-line dress. One of Callot's newest models developed in a heavy red crepe is trimmed with red suede leather, the leather forming the big cuffs, collar, skirt band and border of the cape-panel back. This present fancy for leather trimmings carries dressmakers to every possible extreme. Everything in leather goes—even trimmings for frall fabrics. A Callot model well reflects this mode. The suede leather used is almost as supple as the crepe and it adds a distinctly novel touch. Heading the borders of red leather, separating it slightly from the red crepe, are bands of black crepe. The slight line of black is seen at the border of the collar, cuffs and pocket facings of leather. Rose Descat, the popular Rue Royale milliner, recently sent to one of her smartest customers six small hats made of suede kid, all exactly the same except for the color. There was one in pure white, one in brilliant red, one in vivid emerald green, one in soft beige, one in brown and one all black. Feathers. Feathers are to be especially popular on hats. Stiff quills give perkiness to felt and velours sports hats, with the new shaving-brush feather as an attractive alternative. The latter type of pompon is of glycerined ostrich, and is most often seen on hats with melon crowns and rolling brims turned up in front. No Jewels With Sports Clothes. Jewels for sports clothes are not done, really. The two things do not go together, that is all. And yet so many of the girls one meets upon the street show carrings or jewelled hats or diamond bracelets or some other incongruous ornament along with their heavy tweeds. "Most Virtue is Fear."

Flowers as Decorative Feature and Joy-Giver The joy that flowers can give in the house has never been appreciated quite so thoroughly as it is now. The homes are few, indeed, where flowers do not appear fresh and lovely at such frequent intervals that they seem always present. No longer is the vase of flowers confined to a formal bouquet for the living-room and a few blossoms for the dining-room table. Hall, porch, sun parlor, breakfast-room and kitchen each has its place for flowers, which vie with those in the other rooms. Of course, flowers are seldom found in every room in the house at one and the same time, but they appear now and then in different rooms as an inspiration to those who remain at home during the day and as a happy note of greeting to the tired home-comer at the close of the day. Along with this growing feeling for flowers as a decorative feature and joy-giver, it has been discovered that the beauty of even the loveliest blossoms is greatly enhanced by selecting appropriate receptacles and by the proper arrangement and combination of the flowers that are used. The worst sin one can commit in flower display is to crowd the blossoms tightly into some unsuitable container. An overcrowded vase is as unlovely as an over-dressed woman. It is best to err on the opposite side, if such a thing is possible. The clever use of a single flower or of a few sprays goes a long way to make up for a scarcity of flowers, which flat and apartment-house dwellers suffer from, unless fresh ones are bought constantly. Interesting Features Sallent points of the mode can now be summed up with a certain degree of assurance that the clothes we buy now will be in style for at least six months—and what more can one desire? There is, for instance, the question of skirts. These for day and street wear are fairly tight and therefore of necessity somewhat short. Evening frocks, if of the period type with wide, full skirts, are angle length. If slim and straight they are not quite so long. The long sleeve for day frocks is almost the rule, and while in many instances it is tight there seems to be a rapidly increasing tendency to feature the bell sleeve with an under-sleeve of lingerie, lace or silk. Blouses are loose, with a rather casual line, which ends somewhere from a few inches below the waistline to a point about at the knees. The wide expanse of neck that has been such a dominant feature of the modes of the summer season has disappeared. Many women who go in for the most extreme styles have taken to high collars, but the general choice inclines toward the Chinese neck, with its straight, upstanding collar. It is extremely smart, but not always becoming. The new three-quarter length coats have been enthusiastically received. Printed and Plain Gowns Printed and plain materials combine to make some of the smartest of the new frocks—a mode not only becoming but economical as well, because it lends itself to the use of remnants or the remaking of an old dress. In one instance, the foundation is a straight-line model so simple that it needs practically no making, to which are added applied front and back panels and a cape back that may be left off if one doesn't care for it—though cape-backs are good this year, and for the figure that curves against the mode's decree, such an artifact is well designed. The rolled girdle, too, is used, but one may substitute a narrow belt if one prefers. Suspicion Cleared Up. A quack advertises himself as the guy who put "ease" in disease. That, apparently, clears up the long standing suspicion that the quack had been responsible for the "act" in bacteria. How many of you are going to sing praises about the shorter skirts for street wear? Yes, your number is legion, asserts a fashion writer in the Kansas City Star. And you are right to wish to dress in the way that shows you at your best. Short skirts are certainly for the American girl. She is built to show them off, to demonstrate that they are the only ones eminently suited to the generation that now calls itself youthful. Well, the fact is that your street skirts can be of all sorts of shortness and show as much of your lower extremities as you deem wise and fit. The tailors of smart street dresses and tailored suits are saying that ten, eleven and twelve inches are the measurements, depending largely upon your height and the general outlines of your individual figure. All suits are being made short enough for walking, without any restrictions included in their shaping and making. And this is true whether they are parts of costume suits, of tailor-made suits, of street dresses or of coat frocks. The street ruling for the length of skirts is all the same—they must be short and comfortable and good looking in proportion. They must be adjusted to the best uses and needs of the American girl. But then we come to the dressier clothes—to evening dresses and afternoon frocks for tea, dancing and bridge parties, and any of the other functions that girls find interesting in the latter hours of the day. These skirts are longer and they have a wide latitude, depending upon the girl, her tastes and the type of entertainment which her dress is designed to grace. Some of them—and this is largely true of formal evening gowns—sweep the floor, in direct contrast to the skirt that the young lady has been wearing all day long. But then the ideas for these gowns are taken from the period styles, and in order to keep them true to type they must be made to touch the ground or tralk along, and no one has the least desire to interrupt the truthfulness of the design nor its relation to the period which has been its inspiration. Full skirts are long, touching the floor all the way round their manifold widths, and, whether they are edged with lace to make them transparent around their lower edges or whether they carry the thickness of their stiff materials right to the floor, they still retain that quaint and old-fashioned air which fits them into the period designs that are retained so faithfully in their pristine freshness for the modern young miss to wear and make perfect, as shown by the setting off of her strictly straight and modern figure. The draped dresses for evening—and these are worn by the women of more mature years—are uneven in length, some portions of them hitting the ground and other parts of them escaping that area by many inches. There are panels and trains that trail away, while the draped portion of the gown itself is apt to wend its way high, leaving it to some overhanging area to finish the line and supply the space that it leaves open and free. THE NEW YORK TIMES The fox scarf, being given prominence this fall, is either blue, belge or platinum for light shades and silver or pointed for the darker. The model is of platinum. The Choice of Chokers The girl who prefers street suits of gray or blue will do well to choose a gray choker. If her choice is black, the choker can be of tan or gray. If she looks best in brown, she is especially fortunate, because she may make her selection of furs from a wide range of brown shades, which are, after all, the most pleasing and the easiest to obtain. Windsor Chairs Perhaps the best cann for use in either living room or dining room is that of the Windsor type. These come in various shapes, some with rush seats, and either with or without arms. Seaweed Extracts Chinese doctors have been successful in curing certain skin diseases with extracts from seaweed. Experiments in this direction are now being carried out in Paris and other European cities. for Business Women The "Jiffy" frock in blue twill, designed for business women, was displayed at a recent fashion show held in New York. Simple and Smart Togs In days gone by every child was supposed to go through a period called the awkward age. In reality it was not an awkward age at all, but in those days mothers had not got beyond a certain stereotyped style of youthful dressing and did not understand the possibilities of that age between babyhood and subdeb. Few things indicate more decidedly the progress of designing than the charming clothes created for the modern child. They are colorful and exquisite, simple and smart, and, above everything else, appropriate. Perhaps the most distinctive feature of these frocks and coats is their individuality. It does not take long for a mother to decide just what particular color is becoming to her small daughter and whether her type calls for frills and ruffles or for an almost exaggerated slimness and lack of ornamentation. As always, certain phases of grown-up fashions are repeated in miniature. There is, for instance, the sleeveless frock with its wide frill about the neck and the tight-waisted, full-skirted dress which delights the soul of its small owner because it is so like mother's. Outdoor garments are made of soft, light-weight wools in tones which set off the lovely coloring of childhood. They have trimming of fur that are suitable to the years of these small persons. Rich Fabrics Are Used Gorgeous is the word that best describes the evening modes of the winter. It seems as if the creators of fabrics had surpassed their previous efforts and have given to us such stuffs "as dreams are made of." Rarely has color been handled with such consummate skill and the texture is something to marvel at. On the sheerest of chiffon backgrounds are woven marvelous patterns of metal threads or raised brocaded designs of velvet and chenille. Both Chinese and Persian colors and designs have been reproduced and for those of more conservative tastes there are conventional patterns of wonderful allure. Metal fabrics, both plain and brocaded, are the medium through which many of the most exclusive houses have interpreted the mode for evening wear. Because of the extreme richness of the fabrics the lines are noticeably simple. In fact, there is more than a suggestion of the medieval in the straight, unbroken line of some of the new procks of metal brocade. Chinese Mode Is Given Strange how the Chinese mode has swept over us by way of Paris. Most of the openings speak of Chinese colors and Chinese feeling, but it has remained for Lanvin to present us with coolie coats developed in all sorts of attractive fabrics the coolie never dreamed about. These she tops with mandarin hats—just to be inconsistent and democratic and altogether femininely French. Since mah jongg has become so popular that special rooms in the houses of enthusiasts are being decorated as a background for play, the Chinese coats and hats ought to have strong attraction for those women who always get the new thing, and get it first. Latest in Pumps. The exclusive shops are showing black patent leather pumps, and they haven't a buckle or any other ornamentation. Smart dressers are buying them and they are wearing them with peach-colored stockings. Those who prefer the black hosiery are purchasing the very sheerest type. Of course the sheer black stocking is the choice for very formal wear. Taking Out Patents To have an invention protected all over the world it is necessary to take out nearly 70 patents in as many different countries. the estimated cost of which is $25,000. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, NOVEMBER 3, 1923 Come what will in the world of fashion, there is no such thing as oblivion for the tailored frock of serge or twill, in navy blue or neutral belge and gray, declares a fashion correspondent in the Kansas City Star. It holds its own season after season, and the remarkable thing is that designers contrive to give it a distinctly new aspect each time it appears. This year a certain variation in details is noted, with much attention paid to those suggested by the modes of China. This, perhaps, is more in the introduction of color and in touches of embroidery or the application of narrow bands of bright trimming around the neck and down the side, just as one sees in the Chinese coats. It is probably by the clever use of color that navy blue frocks of this season are distinguished from those of last. In line they are straight and slim, with wrist-length sleeves which are sometimes tight, but quite as often bell-shaped, with dainty undersleeves of net or muslin. For practical purposes nothing takes the place of a dark blue gown, and with the addition of a well chosen hat, shoes and stockings of correct lines and colors, and a scarf of really good fur, it constitutes a street costume that leaves nothing to be desired in the way of chile and good taste. Afternoon and dinner gowns of lace and velvet are shown with cape or full-length Jenny sleeves. A striking gown of black velvet has cherry red and gold sleeves. There is such a youthful charm about the cape frocks and suits that it is not surprising to find them conspicuously featured in every collection of autumn and winter models, particularly among those designed for the school and college girl. One shop known from coast to coast for its youthful clothes which meet every demand of smartness and practicability makes a special point of the capette suit. It is developed in soft woolens and consists of a frock with a silk top, a wrap-around skirt of wool and a hip-length coat which has a cape extending just over the shoulders. The collar THE NEW YORKER Rows of pin tucks vary the straight-line silhouette of the coat dress in navy poiret twill. Bindings are beige crepe. is often fur and sometimes there are fur cuffs, but the model which has been received most enthusiastically has simply the touch of fur at the neck. There are also charming little frocks of wool, velvet or velveteen. These have a short, straight or circular cape which snaps onto the shoulders and may be removed when necessary. In one instance it is fashioned of very dark green wool. The cape is of circular cut and has a collar of gray caracul. On the frock there is a little straight Chinese collar of silver embroidery and this touch of silver is repeated in the faring cuffs. Warmth and Wool. Pulled-wool comforters have taken the place, to a great extent, of those made of down. These quilts are very warm and are also very light in weight. They may be bought for varying prices according to the proportion of wool used and also the character of the cover. But it is not necessary to buy these comforters ready-made. The wool may be bought in bats as is cotton. The work of making them up is not at all difficult and takes very little time. Tufting them is quite as practical as quilting and much simpler. One may, then, secure a very inexpensive and durable bed-cover. Hat of Gray Felt. A small close-fitting hat of gray felt has two small flowers made of feathers polished upon the right brim. These unusual ornaments are of gray and coral color. Light Ray Treatment By treatment with light rays from a carbon are lamp, it is asserted that 96 out of 114 patients at the Finsen institute in Copenhagen have been cured of tuberculosis of the skin. His letters are those of an accomplished gentleman, in the finer sense of the word; they show his complete urbanity of social habit; they also show his politely alert familiarity with intelligent thought, with fine art and with literature, Greek and Latin. Here, if ever in the whole course of literature, you find yourself in thoroughly good company; and thoroughly good company implies highly trained minds and manners—Barrett Wendell. Double Window Panea Double window panes, separated by a distance of two millimeters and joined together at the edges by a specially patented melting process to prevent moisture or dust getting between them, are used to keep out the cold in the place of ordinary double windows. It is said the heat insulation is perfect under these conditions Leads in All Things The United States is the first nation in the world to erect a monument to the unknown soldier dead of a foreign land. This memorial, erected by the General Society of the Sons of the Revolution, to the soldiers and sailors of France, is on the campus of St. John's college, Baltimore, Md. Market for Costumes. At intervals a steamer leaves London en route to a port on the coast coast of Africa with a cargo of old theatrical costumes. The costumes are imported by traders, who are found all over Africa, and are sold by them to tribes in the interior, the medium of exchange being cattle, curios and animal skins. A Real Loafer's Paradise Probably the laziest people in the world are Svatnians, who live in the accessible mountain range between the Black and Caspian seas. They have made no advance toward civilization in 2,500 years. It is their invariable rule to observe holidays four times a week, with saints' days as extras. Bottle Corks. In the factories where bottle corks are made, special machines are made which cut the cork into the size desi- cle. The cork refuse and odd pieces left over from this cutting process are not thrown away, but are carefully ground down and mixed with rubber to make floorcloth. Safe Anyhow "I say, Tom, we are close to my house. Won't you come in and have a bit of dinner?" "Thanks. But how about your wife?" "Oh, that's all right! If her cooking is successful, she'll be pleased to have another eat it; and if it isn't, I shall."—Boston Evening Transcript Pig Iron. Pig iron is so called because the molten metal is run into a long mass with shorter pieces attached to it at right angles. The long pieces are called the sows and the shorter are called the pigs. Water Spiders The water spider builds its home under water. It collects air on the surface and conveys it underneath. After many journeys there is sufficient air in the web for the spider to remain below for a considerable time. Hilarity and Solemity A harmless biority and a buoyant cheerfulness are not infrequent constituents of genius, and we are never more deceived than when we mistake gravity for greatness, solemnity for science, and pomposity for erudition. Iron Clothes With Feet In Calro men employed in the native tailoring shops iron clothes with their feet. A solid block of wood rests on the top of the iron and on this the man places one foot, gulding the iron by means of a long hanote. Gathering Seaweed Seaweed from which high-class food gelatin is made is now gathered along the Lower California coast under from one to ten fathoms of water by deep-sea divers equipped with improved diving apparatus Persian Ruqa. In Persia each tribe or family makes its rugs of a distinctive design, which is as much thelms as is the tartan of the Scotsman. Be Content. Happiness consists, not in possessing much, but in being content with what we possess. He who wants little always has enough. The Sea. With all its treacherous, snaky, slaughterous habits, there are people who "love the see." We love to look at it itself. Cling to Old Friends Up to middle-age, a man indefatigably seeks new friends. After that he clings affectionately to those he has accumulated. Very Likely. Do kings ever have a vacation; or do their grouchy subjects claim it is all that? Home of Chestnut. The home of the chestnut is in the Mediterranean region, where chestnut trees have been cultivated from early times. Water Harder Than Steel. A thin jet of water may be harder than steel. Several such jets exist at the new turbine station at Fully, Switzerland. The nozzles from which they issue are about $1\frac{1}{2}$ inches in diameter, and the water, the pressure of which is nearly two tons to the square inch, is so rigid that a strong man armed with an iron crowbar would be unable to drive it through the thin jet of water though he tried with all his might. Origin of Sterling. Sterling, as-applied to English money, is derived from the Hanseatic league, which had an important house in England. As their land lay "to the east of England," Englishmen called them "Easterlings," and the gold they paid in the course of trade became known as "Easterling motley." Subsequently the expression became sterling. Potato Met With Suspicion Potato Met With Suspicion. When the potato was first introduced into Scotland it met with much opposition. Sermons were preached against it, in which it was declared that, as the potato was not mentioned in the Bible, it must be unfit for Christians to eat. It was even described by one divine as being the forbidden fruit which had caused the fall of Adam. Siberia Has 625 Million Tons of Coal. The presence of coal in eastern Siberia has been known for many years and since the construction of the first railways through that region lignite and soft coal mines convenient to transportation have been worked. The total known deposits on the mainland contain some 625 million tons, part of which is hard coal. Try It. Difficulties of carrying on a conversation in a moving train or in a subway can be eliminated partly if the person being addressed will close his ears with the finger tips. Without pitching his voice above the ordinary tone, the speaker then may be bearded plainly, despite the conflicting noises. Seasoning Wood A process for seasoning wood, which gives results in 20 days which would naturally take several years, is said to have been invented in France and consists of subjugating the wood to the action of a current of air containing ozone. Snakes Commit Suicide. Shakes County School. The bureau of biological survey says that rattlesnakes are susceptible to their own poison and may cause death by biting themselves except when severely injured or infuriated and unable to wreak vengeance on their tormentors. Cutterfi$ Eng Markings Butterfly Egg marking. Eggs of the butterfly vary, some being spherical, others conical, turbush-shaped, or cylindrical, says Nature Magazine. The surface of the egg is often beautifully sculptured, the pattern being formed by series of raised or depressed dots or lines. Baby's Diet. Baby conferences throughout the country uniformly disclose the fact that malnutrition is the most common alliment among the small children. This condition results not so much from poverty as from a bad choice of diet. Original Virtue If we have accepted the doctrine of original sin, we should also accept the doctrine of original virtue. In some natures the will to righteousness is as native as the will to wickedness is in others. It's a Fact Bad eyesight is often the cause of criminality, in the opinion of an expert. Yes, some poor fellows have such bad eyes that it is almost impossible for them to tell your property from their own. Too Brief. Artist (at work) "—Now, give me your honest opinion of this picture." Visitor (who fancies himself a critic) "It's utterly worthless." Artist (dreaming) "—'e-ees—but give it all the same." -Punch. Spider Webs Einer Than Silk Fine us is the filament produced by the silk-worm, that produced by the spider is even more attenuated. If, for instance, a thread of a spider's web measured four miles, it would weigh little more than a grain. Where Women Wear Pants In the Balkans, where women tend goats and cattle in the mountains, it is necessary for them to wear trousers; skirts would be too cumbersome among the rocks. Fish Tenacious of Life Under healthy conditions, fish may live many years. For example, salmon have been known to survive 100 years, eels 60 years, and carp 100, while pike are said to be even more tenacious of life. Jap Barbers Barbers in Japan, in addition to cutting their customer's hair, clean out their ears with a contrivance somewhat like a series of blunt knitting needles padded on the ends with cotton. Near-Bread. The South Sea island housewife does not have to make bread. There is a tree in those islands called the bread-fruit tree, the bread of which, when baked in an oven, looks and tastes very much like wheat bread. VOTE FOR HARRY P.

To escape that, the shoes are sometimes burned, and sometimes buried. Nineteen thousand insects are required to make one pound of cochineal dye. Only the bodies of the females are used. They are wingless and each one produces over 1,000 young, which spread over the plants rapidly. Carrier pigeons normally fly at the rate of about thirty to thirty, six miles an hour, but when "homing" they can reach a speed of sixty miles an hour or more. Rubber balls dropped to the ground flatten almost into a hemisphere at the moment of impact, but do it so quickly the eye cannot see it. Talk Sometimes Expensive. Talk is the most expensive thing that in many cases, so long as there are excellent laws against slander. What Japanese Eat. Main food of the poor, in Japan consists of groats, barley, millet, buckwheat, beans. Superstition. Cochineal Dye. Carrier Pigeons Rubber Balls Flatten. Scarcity Accounted For. Every day is the Sobath somewhere. The Greeks observe Monday; the Russians, Tuesday; the Assyrians, Wednesday; Egyptians, Thursday; the Turks Friday; the Jews, Saturday, and the Christians, Sunday. He who loves sports has solved half of the problem of keeping interested every day; and he who doesn't love sports can't by any magic learn what it is that is attractive about them. Man is essentially thorough in his idea of economic thrift. He always wears out his clothes before adopting the new style. There must be something wrong with that old axiom about ignorance being bliss—otherwise more people would be happy. Can't Be Explained.

Electroplating with chromium is the new method proposed by Sheffield metallurgists for making stainless metals. Less chromium is required than for stainless alloy, and it is suggested that the thin rustless film should give protection to the bright parts of motors and other objects. The sugar of fruit is usually an admixture of dextrose and levulose, and is called invert sugar. It is uncrystallizable and forms granular masses in dried fruit. It consists of five parts of levulose and three parts of hydrated dextrose, some of which arises by inversion of saccharine. Anticipated Applause.

The whole number of one's ancestors in the fiftieth generation is 5,382,794,914,214,040—a multitude which no man can number. Seek Prehistoric City. Thorn lake, in eastern Oregon, has for years been thought the site of a prehistoric city. In its depths are walls, rising in geometric precision, which bisect the lake bed, and investigation has just been set afoot to learn whether their origin is from a natural cause or the work of man in years gone by. Why Bables Cry National war debts are said to incur a financial burden of fifty odd dollars upon every baby born in England and some wag asks if this isn't why babies cry so much. Doubtless it is in those cases where the breadwinner pays so much tax that sufficient food and comfortable clothing for the baby must be foregone. Title of Admiral. The title of admiral was first created in France in 1284. A few years later the title was adopted by the English, and the first rear admirals in the United States navy were commissioned in 1862. David Farragut and George Dewey were the only two men in the navy to be appointed admirals. Revere Bell Destroyed. Revere Bell Destroyed. The bell in the Congregational church at Wiscasset, Me., contains fifteen pounds of metal from a bell cast by Paul Revere, which once hung in the church tower. The original church was burned in 1907 and the Revere bell was destroyed in the fire. Cork Collector. A Londoner makes a very good living by going the rounds of the hotels and collecting the corks from wine bottles. These he sorts out and returns to the wine merchants concerned, receiving as much as 10 cents each for certain kinds. Color Problem Solved. In perfecting a machine for testing the psychology of color, a University of Pennsylvania professor is said to have solved a problem which defied the efforts of scientists for many years.

"I understand the audience went wild when you got up to speak." "Yes. For a time I was afraid some of them would be crushed to death in the exits." Both Sputter Along Both Sputter Along. People who breathe indoor air all the time are like automobile motors that get a poor mixture of gas. Both sputter along in a very unsatisfactory manner. Seaweed-Coal-Dust Fuel. Seaweed found on the shores of the Orkney islands contains a certain chemical which, combined with coal dust, makes a successful fuel. To Weaken Ropes. The tensile strength of a wet rope is only one-third of the same rope when dry, and a rope saturated with grease or soap is weaker still. What has become of the old-fashioned hollow laughter exacted by drunken men from those who were afraid of them? Time for Most Things. There is a time for saying nothing, a time for saying something, but there is no time in which all things should be said. Teacher's Highest Work Highest work done by the public school is the teaching of the beginnings of self-control; more important than the lessons. A woman is always ready to admit a man's superior intelligence if he will admit that she knows more than he does. We Daresay.

Give a man 75 per cent of misfortune and he will magnify his 25 per cent of happiness into 100. Small Cows.
