H. guests to the r entered the roo The opening The hall was beautifully decorated with a mass of French ribbons of all colors extending from the center of the ceiling to all sides of the hall in which were hung at regular intervals along the middle and encircling the balcony's railing Japanese lanterns. Several palms decorated the platform where the musical numbers of the program were rendered. Behind this platform on the northeast side of the hall heavily decorated with palms was located "The House of Music," Prof. Hutt's Syncopators Orchestra, which discoursed the most thrilling chants of the evening, and which caused every one to have a jolly good time. In the southeast corner was located "The Fountain of Youth," where the punch was served. "The Palm Alcove," was located in the extreme southwest end where the receiving party stood, palms were placed all around it, and near the center a basket of flowers were placed on a small table. The receiving party consisted; of Prof. and Dr. William Emanuel, Miss Phoebe Nan Clanton, Miss Florence Hardin, Miss Adele Collins, Miss Juanita Emanuel, the debutante; Miss Dolores Schurlock, Miss Lauretta Beaty and Miss Lavinia Bowles.

Hardin presented the guests to the receiving party as they entered the room. The opening of the social party was a grand march led and directed by Mr. Charles W. Settles, at the close of the grand march as the couples formed twos again, they encircled the hall and the ladies stood in front of their parteners waiting for one of the features, which was a program consisting of several classical musical numbers, which were delightfully rendered by Miss Nellie Dotson, one entitled "Carmena," she was accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Ione Trice, Miss Dotson wore a black Spanish lace gown, coiffed head, beautiful jewelry. She was heartily applauded at the conclusion of her classical selection. Prof. Harrison Emanuel, violinist, whose name stands for all that is highest in violin music, gave the audience a rare treat in his wonderful renditions of "Souvenir Poetique," by Efibh Then the attention of the audience was attracted to another interesting feature, a little more difficult task to grasp the full enjoyment of; balloons were floating from the balcony, the first gentlemen who could succeed in catching one before it burst was Mr. Reginald Waddell and he received the first dance with Miss Emanuel, debuntante.

Prof. and Dr. Emanuel, richly deserve to be highly commended, for since locating in this city, many years ago, they have successfully raised and educated three sons and one daughter, namely, Mr. Floyd Emanuel, Prof. Harrison Emanuel, the famous violinist Mr. McKinley Emanuel and Miss Juanita Emanuel. Al three of their sons, assist their father in successfully conducting his well established business, and Miss Juanita, who is a graduate of the Hyde Park High School, and who will shortly enter the Chicago Normal College and by being pleasant and dutiful she has the best wishes for her continued successful educational career, of thousands of the best people in this city. Dr. Fannie Emanuel, who is one of our best and warmest lady friends in Chicago and she has never permitted the grass to grow under her feet, for with all of her household duties and other responsibilities resting on her shoulders she found the time to take up the study of medicine, and six or seven years ago she successfully became a full fledged surgeon and physician and she is meeting with splendid success, in the practice of her chosen profession. The Emanuels are a great honor to the great citizenship of Chicago. TO BUILD MONUMENT TO MEMORY OF JAMES CAR-DINAL GIBBONS Cardinal Gibbons Institute to Be Erected as Living Institution for Youth of Race Washington, D. C.—James Cardinal Gibbons, is to have soon a monument to his memory. It will be a worthy one, most pleasing to him whose life for over sixty years was devoted to public service for God and country. What would he prefer as a memorial if we could know his choice? A statue in marble or bronze, beautiful to the eye, and with his name and works lettered on it—or a living institution bearing his name and working on and on with ever-increasing effectiveness for the poorest of his people! Had he lived, by this time, the Cardinal Gibbons Institute (under some other name, to be sure) undoubtedly would be in operation, and the colored youth of the country, irrespective of their church affiliations, would have an opportunity for a practical education under Catholic auspices. A "Catholic Tuskegee" teaching the youth of the colored race how to live, how to earn a living, how to keep well, how to do well in peace and understanding with their neighbors; and training leaders to work among others of their race in other places! He began the movement, we will complete it as his memorial. Can you think of a more fitting memorial—one that would please that great American church-man more? Will you help erect it? We know the many demands on your resources at the present time, but this cannot wait longer. The Cardinal is gone now nearly three years' Don't wait, help now. Send your contributions, great or small, to the office of the Executive Committee given above, who unanimously joins in this appeal to you and to all who loved the Cardinal. (Signed) Most Rev. M. J. Curley, William S. Benson, David I. Walsh, William S. Aumen, Lawrence P. Williams, A. C. Monhan.

Patterson in Memphis Commercial Appel ‘You can never tell who the heroes in this life may be. ‘They are discov- ered as occasions arise. Woodfin of Kentucky and York of Tennessee were all unknown to fame, until cir- cumstances gave them the chance to show in what heroig molds they were cast. Woodfin and York are white, but a dispatch from Aberdeen, Miss,, tells of another story of heroism, of brave and unselfish: service wrapped up in two black skins. The story goes that 2 ‘man, his wife and 10-months old baby ‘were in an automobile truck packed with their belongings, which they were moving to a new home, and when they reached the James Creek anal the driver lost control of the car and it plunged into the icy waters ‘with all on board, ~ The day it is said, was bitterly cold, with the temperature far below the freezing point, and it seemed that the father, mother and child would all drown and the waters close over them.

Drake—happened to be walk- ing down the road. and witnessed the accident.” Without a moment's hesita- tion these men” plunged into the stream and effected the rescue of the three struggling forms in the water, who were then brought to Aberdeen and given attention. This is all. The account ended here. I don't know what,-if anything, was done for the Negroes, or if anybody praised them. Lam sure they have not been decor- ated for bravery and were not met with brass bands and offers of enter- tainment. ‘The names of these Negroes will probably never again be in the papers. They did not kill anybody—they saved somebody. No commander ordered them to do what they did, and nobody was there to look on except the helpless trio in the swirling waters. - “But God looked down upon what these obscure Negroes did, and Christ was near them when they risked their ‘own lives to save the lives of others. It won't do, my friends, for us to hate or wrong-a race that can furnish Tweroes like this. It won't do not to give it a chance —not to help and encourage it. Ed.

Announces Petition Has 120,000 Signatures President Coolidge has appointed February 7, as the day on which he will receive a delegation of colored citizens to present the petition with 120,000 signatures, asking for pardon of the 54 members of the 24th Infan- try still imprisoned. for their alleged share in the Houston Riot of 1917. The signatures were gathered by the N. A. A. C. P,, with the co-operation of colored newspapers, churches, Jodges, fraternal bodies and other in- dividuals and groups. ‘The delegation will be received at the White House at noon on the day appointed. P The N. A. A. C. P. is now arranging for a committee of 50 representative organizations and individuals to spon- sor the presentation. The White House has limited the delegation ac- tually making the presentation to ten people, who will act for the whole ‘committee. The names of individuals and organizations making up the whole committee of 50 will accompany the petitionand will be made public. The delegation of ten will represent as adequately as possible the organiza. tions participating in this effort. It is hoped that one or more in. fiuential members of Congress maj jaccompany the delegation to the White House. FACTS ABOUT THE BONUS The bonus and tax reduction are the two live issues before Congress. Poli- ticians secking re-election are loathe to commit themselves on either meas- ures at the present time. Hence there is a deal of real demagoguery. Real statemen have been trying to work out these natural problems and gave the problems and give the people the facts, é If the people know the facts, public opinion may be relied upon to bring about a satisfactory conclusion. The three different measures placed before Congress for soldiers’ bonus are the Fordney, McGumber and Mott. All three bills give ex-service men the option of choosing any one, but only one of the following plans: 1. Adjusted service, cash award. 2. Adjusted service certificated, in- surance. : 3. Vocational training aid. 4. Farm or home aid. 5. Land settlement aid. The cost involved in these bills varies as does the lines in which the government would have to pay the amounts. « MRS. J. E.

Secretary Townsend is putting forth every possible effort to’ make it complete. ‘They are turning out some good literature for the minds of the youth, I wrote you last week for one time from New Orleans or some other place, and permit me to tell you that 1 have never been so much-impressed with New Orleans as I’ was on this visit, and it is due to the fact that 1 came in contact with one of the great- est physicians in-this country, Dr. M: C.

I had the pleasure of being in h's home, and you will believe me honey, that he looked after me, fought bugs for me, toted me around in his automobile car cartiages, and he has two of them—in fact he helped me to make it a little longer in life, All night tong his telephone speak- ing tube is ringing.

He knows how to fight life destroying bugs and keep the worms from getting fat off of your body. Off from New Orleans ito the place where I am this week writing you this letter, and I hope when these few lines come to hand they may find you well and doing well I am here with Bishop William Alfred Fountain, the wizard of the A. M. E, bench of bishops, the scholar and the leader of men. He is at the top and is doing a great work. The A. M. EL church selected some strong men at the last general con- ference, and I think some more will be selected to associate with them. There is Rev. John A. Gregg, presi- dent of Wilberforce University, the scholar, the leader of men. He isa man who would give dignity and tone to the bench, and then there is the Rev. Dr. T. J. Wilson, of Wilmington, N.C, another scholar and leader of men, and J. A, Lindsay, of Savannah, Ga., a scholar and leader, amd 1. must not forget Dr. Mance, of South Caro- lina, the president of Allen University, and a -man-of affairs, Rev. Snelson, of Memphis wants to return to Africa and to Africa he must go if he is elected Bishop and T-can see no rea- son why -he should not be, but he should be placed on the bench. I have-mentioned before the Rev. C. M.Tanner, of Chicago, who was to give me a fountain pen to write about the: things I see when I visited his church in Chicago, but he told me that TI had a pen and that was enough. Tam proud to say that I have one, and I am.using it. I have one which was presented me by a man who is on hiis “road to the episcopacy of his church and there is no power to keep him out, and that man is Rey. J. C. Anderson, who in the midst of perse- cution has stuck to his church, and could not be chased, out by, any one who sought honors. He stood ms ground, and you cannot keep. such a man down. He has the training in keeping with his ability and is a won- derful preacher. At present he is a Pittsburg pastor. I haye in mind to talk to you about the hospital in Tuskegee, but wait un- til I am feeling just a little better. I am on the Lord's side and I am try- ing to render service.
