HON. ROBERT E. CROWE AND HON. GEORGE B. HOLMES WILL GO TO THE MAT FOR THE NOMINATION FOR STATE'S ATTORNEY OF COOK COUNTY. The political pot is boiling furiously in Cook County. Your correspondent does not remember when as many big issues, big men and big places were involved. First of all, there will be a preferential presidential primary. There are many candidates for delegates and alternates, but the race will be one-sided. Coolidge with his vast patronage will probably carry every district and the delegates at large in Illinois. Mr. Harold Ickes and his lieutenant, in charge of the colored troops on the Ivory Coast, Col. James T. Brewington, Jr., have been handicapped from the very start. The general situation has been hopeless. The colored brothers have feared Mr. Johnson because they do not quite understand how he could so suddenly turn from his war on the darker races of Japanese blood and be friendly with the subjects of the fifteenth amendment. But the governorship is the big plum; on the theory that there are two senators and only one governor. Governor Small, one of the most adroit and courageous politicians of modern times, seeks to succeed himself, and from the vigor of his campaign will not stop at any effort. And with all of the talk about Grant Park, this, that and the other, Governor Small has a vast army who will be devoted to his cause because of a lively sense of favors past as well as those to come in the next twelve months or so. And then Governor Small has made himself the one big CHAMPION of good roads, and hard roads in Illinois. The Governor has learned not only that everybody wants good roads, but also that every good road in Illinois leads to Springfield for the next four years, at least, but not to be despised is the fact that he is engaged in the arduous but pleasant task of spending a bit more than one hundred million dollars to construct these roads to Springfield. And in a state a sum like that is not to be sneezed at or despised, especially when distributed by a master hand. Such a sum was as large as it took to run the Federal Government after it was functioning in all its departments. Then they talk about the governor's pardons; and after all, what are you going to say when his friends By Special Staff Correspondent say for him that the "quality of mercy is not strained * * * * and that it blesses him that gives more than him who receives"? Anyhow, the present occupant of the governor's chair is a factor which is SMALL in name only. Senator Essington is a wonderfully brilliant young man, but no man may tell whether the trained Roman Guards will forsake the veteran leader with power for one who has only ideals. And then there is much mixing of senatorial politics with his gubernatorial aspirations. He is irrevocably aligned with one of the candidates for United States senator, and in Cook County his fortunes are linked with many local candidates and their fortunes. Whether this alliance will furnish buoys to float his ship, or anchors to hold it back, is still to be seen. All admit that he would make a great governor; but in Cook County many people will wonder whether it is not more important to have George Holmes, State's Attorney and Joe Haas, Recorder, and Jim Kearns, Clerk of the Municipal Court, than to have control of the roads down state, or to have an idealistic high-toned state administration. And that brings us to the contest for senator. For some years the friends of Hon. Chas. S. Deneen have found fault with him for not casting his hat into the senatorial ring. They thought he ought to have had the seat now occupied by Senator McKinley, but that is history now, and it is a condition and not a theory which confronts him and the voters. The Governor had to run or his loyal legions, who have followed his fortunes with a devotion unequaled in political annals would have deserted him. They said that after all a man must hold office to hold political power. The governor starts out with a wonderful acquaintance in Chicago and down state. He was for eight years a good governor, as he had been before that time a great state's attorney, not only able, but active and efficient. He has always been fair and loyal to the interests of his followers. He has never been of doubtful quality. He "knows his friends and his enemies know him." He is engaged in an active and vigorous campaign. The issue of the contest is in the scale of things yet to be determined, for his opponent has some advantages in the race which are not to be overlooked. Hon. Medill McCormick has for quite ten years been a member of Congress, the last five having been served in the upper house. He had been born to the purple and yet had taken up the life with the toiler. As though he was serving an apprenticeship for public service, he lived out "back of the Yards." He saw poverty at close range. He learned to speak its language and to know its thought. He was elected to the senate and almost at once took a leading place. He is one of the three or four real leaders in that body. He has studied world politics and knows the relations of his country to the millions beyond the seas. He stood on the battlefield at Verdun, while shells whizzed about him, and he saw what the common soldier endured and must endure in the hell of war. He came back and has returned many times since to watch the rehabilitation of empires that went down to the depth from loss of blood. He is familiar with fiscal and trade problems and offers these as his claim to the suffrage of his fellows. He has some handicaps especially on the Ivory Coast of Chicago, but it will take another story to tell of this. (The next installment of this wonderfully written story will deal with the colored brother and his relation to things political and personal.) REINSTATE CITY COUNSEL OUSTED ON GRAFT CHARGE Maj. A. E. Patterson, colored assistant corporation counsel of Chicago, under suspension as the result of graft charges brought against him by south side cabaret owners, has been ordered reinstated by Corporton Counsel F. X. Busch. Investigation of the charges by a committee of the Chicago Bar association proved them baseless, Mr. Busch has stated. Major Patterson was accused of having accepted money to protect a cabaret for which the owner could not secure a license. The proprietor complained that Major Patterson's promises did not protect him from arrest. M. HON.

AN ADVENTURE IN GOOD WILL The Interracial Commission, Its Origin and Work By R. B. Eleazer, Educational Director Part 2. METHODS It has been seen that the Commission on Interracial Co-operation grew out of the tense racial situation which developed just after the World War. When that crisis was past, the Commission undertook the task of permanently improving race relations throughout the South, by putting them as far as possible upon a Christian basis. To this end committees have been set up in every Southern State and in 800 counties. In many communities their efforts have been notably successful. Threatened lynchings and riots have been prevented, injustices have been corrected, co-operation for mutual welfare has been brought about, and relations of frankness and confidence have been established between the best elements of both races. The philosophy on which the work of these groups rests is the belief that every man is entitled to a hearing, that mutual understanding is the surest means of conciliation, and that a Christian solution of every interracial problem can be found if men are willing to seek it in a Christian spirit. The method of securing these ends is to bring together in each community representatives of the best white and colored people so that conference relations may be set up. These committees frankly face and discuss all points of friction or danger, and seek to obviate them. The Negro members are encouraged to lay bare any grievances or injustices from which they feel they are suffering, or any needs of which they are keenly sensible. Perhaps it is a feeling that they are not getting justice in the courts, or protection at the hands of the law. Perhaps it is lack of sewers, sidewalks, or other public utilities in the Negro area of some city. Perhaps it is the need of better schools. Perhaps it is economic exploitation of which they complain. Whatever it may be, the committee hears the case with open mind, goes into it frankly and sympathetically, and takes such action as the facts seem to demand. The actual relief afforded means a great deal toward better relations, but the opportunity for frank and sympathetic conference probably means even more. This method of approach to the problem represents the major contribution of the Interracial to its solution. The Commission does not seek to put over a program of race relations. It does not say to any community: "This must you do with relation to the Negro." It insists upon one thing only: That in every community where race relations are an issue the best people should take the matter seriously in hand, with the determined purpose to seek a Christian solution of every problem as it arises, and to substitute good will and justice for distrust and suspicion. With a proposition so sound there can be no disagreement. With rare exceptions, therefore, the Commission has no difficulty in securing the hearty co-operation of the best people in the community. A significant recent development in the movement is the enlistment of the leading women of the Southern states to co-operate with the various state committees, and to promote the study of this question in their civic and religious organizations. The Commission carries on also a 393 PED The Honest and Fearless State's Attorney of Cook County, Whose Legions of Warm and Loyal Friends Feel Dead Sure That He Will Be Re-Nominated for His Present Position at the Primaries Tuesday, April 8. Both men and Women Can Vote for Him. number of lines of general activity, working for better understanding through the press, in the colleges, in summer conferences, through contacts with great religious groups, and wherever else opportunity offers. A general survey of the results attained will be set forth in the concluding number of this series. The Commission now has seventy-five members and is headed by John J. Eagan of Atlanta. Dr. Will W. Alexander is the general director and Mrs. Luke Johnson has charge of the department of woman's work. An educational director, a field worker and eight field secretaries complete the general staff. Any one interested could do a great service by making possible the employment of additional field secretaries, of whom several are greatly needed. The colored members of the Commission are Bishops R. E. Jones, J. S. Flipper, George C. Clement and K. G. Finley, Dr. R. R. Moton, Dr. Isaac Fisher, Dr. R. John M. Gandy, Dr. and Mrs. John Hope, H. E. Perry, C. C. Spaulding, R. L. Smith, Mrs. Booker T.

Wilkinson, Mrs. Janie Porter Bar- CITIZENSHIP FOUNDATION DAY A Call to the Colored Race on Crispun Attacks Boston, Mass. — Fellow Colored Americans: It was here in Boston that on March 5, 1770, Crispus Attucks, one of our race, gave all colored Americans first, original and ground title, to every right and privilege of American citizenship. Here on that historic day he spilled his blood against British tyranny, gave his life for the freedom's cause in the new-world British colony, made himself the first martyr for the founding of the new republic of the United States of America. What race of white Americans would not be proud to claim such a historic honor? What white race group would not be loud in boasting of this credit? What white element under any ban or hint of discrimination would not claim this sacrifice and glory as argument for respect and rights? Hence, the National Equal Rights League of Colored Americans urges our race everywhere to make March 5 a national Race Day to nationally observe the day in honor of America's proto-martyr, Crispus Attucks, of our own blood makeup, to publicly celebrate citizenship foundation day and tell our race membership, especially the younger generation, what our race has done for this far-famed country in fighting and in lifeblood since Attucks was the first to die for American independence. The League, with national headquarters in the city which marks the grave of this colored American hero, which marks the spot where he fell, which honors him and comrades with a statue on its public Commons, urges every religious, civic, literary, frater- THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, MARCH 1, 1924 nal and political body to have a Crispus Attucks meeting March 5, 1924, or for several to unite in one, or for citizens to hold an Attucks mass meeting as an equal rights committee for the observance of "Citizenship Foundation Day." Unity and permanence of this observance as an annual custom can be secured by sending report of the auspices and presiding officials of these mass meetings to the National Equal Rights League, 103 Court St. Boston, or form a branch for this very purpose. By all means, let our race utilize this valuable day and chance to teach our race its true and just claim to this country and all its rights, and incidentally to let our fellow white Americans be reminded of how much we have done for them every time the country has been in serious danger and they have asked for help. Put the obligation where it belongs. That is our duty to our race and to the other races as well. Wm. Monroe Trotter, Corr. Secy. METHODIST CHURCHES IN CLEVELAND URGE BILL ENACTMENT The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth avenue, New York, has announced that the Mt. Pleasant Methodist Episcopal church of Cleveland, Ohio, had obtained assurance of support for the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill from Ohio's two senators, Simeon D. Fess and Frank B. Willis. The assurance of support came in response to a letter sent to Washington, bearing the signatures of the following committee: Thos. J. Smith, Recording Secretary; Orlando Owens, Superintendent of the Sunday School; John H. Simpson, President Epworth League; C. Ferguson, Chairman Board of Trustees, and Rev. Lawrence Watson, pastor "The Sub-District Conference, Columbus district, Lexington Conference, Methodist Episcopal Church, in session in this city, with one unanimous vote, beg to invoke your special attention to the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. "We not only urge your personal support to the bill, but on behalf of our less fortunate brothers than ourselves, Liberty and true Americanism, we do sincerely, in the name of God, our Father, and Jesus Christ, our elder brother, implore the support of your broad influence in the passage of this bill." This letter, which brought a favorable acknowledgment from Representative Burton, was signed by W. L. Noel, Chairman; L. D. Watson, Secretary, and J. L. Ferguson, District Superintendent. THE THIRD ANNUAL RECEPTION AND DANCE, GIVEN BY THE MEMBERS OF THE APPOMATTOX CLUB, WAS A VERY CREDITABLE AND ENJOYABLE AFFAIR. Last Thursday evening, the finest social affair so far given by the members of the Appomattox Club, was its third annual reception and dance, which was held at beautiful St. Elizabeth Hall, 24 E. 41st street. The hall was artistically and very attractively decorated for the pleasant occasion. Well on to five hundred members, including their wives, daughters and other lady friends of the members were present, and they all greatly enjoyed the greatest and the wildest jazz music that has so far been dished up, by Dr. Watson's famous orchestra. The floor was perfect for dancing and it was so slick that quite a number of couples were afraid to take any chances on it in the grand march. But the writer and Mrs. J. Gray Lucas, joined in the grand march while Hon. J. Gray Lucas and Mrs. Taylor sat on the side and looked wise and drank frappe, which was very cooling and refreshing for all the guests who partook of it. President S. A. T. Watkins, being absent in Texas, first vice-president Mr. David B. Hawley, served in his stead and Mr. Charles W. Settles, served as master of ceremonies and he was right up to the queen's taste in DR. AND MRS. A. WILBERFORCE WILLIAMS TRUE TO THEIR OLD FRIENDS The following letter speaks for itself: Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams 3545 S. State Street Chicago February, Twenty-third, 1 9 2 4. Mr. Julius F. Taylor, Dear Friend: Mrs. Williams and myself were agreeably surprised to note the kind things you said about me on the 3rd page of The Broad Ax, issue of the 23d inst. We are both deeply appreciative of the notice you have taken of my efforts to prove a good citizen in this community. I trust I may be able to live up to the many courteous things you said and always prove worthy of the respect and confidence reposed in me. We have had the honor of having The Broad Ax come to our home, which we have enjoyed reading with increasing interest for the past twenty-five years. With all good wishes for your laudable success, Believe me, Your faithful and respectful servant, A. WILBERFORCE WILLIAMS. The writer failed to state last week, in referring to Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams in these columns, that his good and lovable wife, Mrs. Williams, is also a warm admirer of this newspaper and that she is also numbered among our best lady friends in this city. Mrs. William has reached the highest type of true womanhood in this country. She is very plain, sensible and domestic and she greatly enjoys all the comforts of their beautiful home. DYER ATTRIBUTES DECLINE IN LYNCHING TO WORK OF N. A. A. C. P. Representative L. C. Dyer, sponsor in Congress of the Anti-Lynching Bill has written to the N. A. A. C. P. urging a vigorous continuance of the campaign to enact the measure and attributing the decline in lynching to the N. A. A. C. P.'s efforts. Representative Dyer's letter is as follows: "I received your letter of February 11 and was glad to hear of the splendid meeting you had. I do not know how soon we are going to get action here. However, we should not discontinue our best efforts in the campaign we have been making. Crimes which we are fighting against, it appears, are growing less and less and I know it is due to the splendid work that your organization has been doing over the country." The meeting Mr. Dyer refers to in his letter is one a series of anti- every respect and without any question about it, he was the right man in the right place. The third annual reception and dance of the Appomattox Club, was the finest and the most fashionable social affair, so far staged by it. It easily ran right up by the side of the Binga Twilight party, and the Emanuel Debutante party. The elegant gowns worn by the ladies, not by one or two of them, but by all of them, could not be surpassed by any group of ladies belonging to any race of people. Many of the gowns worn by them were imported direct from Paris, which cost hundreds and hundreds of dollars and a whole wagon load of diamonds and other costly jewels were in evidence. The gentlemen present never looked better in their lives than they did at that time. Full dress evening suits, including white gloves, were the order of the evening, which proved that they were one hundred per cent Americans and very gallant. The best of deportment prevailed during the evening and everything indicated that the colored people in this city have reached the highest social plane not only in the United States, but throughout the civilized world! Mary Blair, White Actress, Revealed as Co-Star With Colored Actor New York.—"Certainly I shall play opposite Mr. Robson." Mary Blair, young white actress, in these words admitted she is to have the leading part in Eugene O'Neill's new play, "All God's Chillun Got Wings." "Mr. Robson" is Paul Robson, colored, who, in the play, will take Miss Blair for his wife. Helen MacKellar refused the role. An effort had been made to conceal the name of the feminine lead until the opening of the drama next month. The news set the dramatic world agog. Never has there been such a departure from precedent's racial lines drawn in the theater. Miss Blair has played in several dramas put on by the Provincetown Players. Eugene O'Neill and Kenneth MacGowan, directors of the Provincetown Players, say they want the production judged solely on its artistic merits. They have startled dramatic circles by selecting a cast composed equally of white people and colored people to act in a play that deals with a mixed marriage. Mr. Robson is one of the leading actors in this country. Only a few years ago he had the distinguished honor of playing opposite Lady Collin Campbell in London, England, and they made a great hit in that staid old city. The last part of the winter of 1922, Mr. and Mrs. Robson, who is a graduate of the University of Illinois and a very bright and pleasant lady to meet, spent some time in this city while Mr. Robson was engaged in filling an engagement in one of the leading theaters downtown, and at every turn in the road Mr. Robson understands how to conduct himself like a highly polished gentleman—Editor. JACK JOHNSON'S WIFE SUES FOR DIVORCE New York—John Arthur Johnson, former heavyweight champion of the world, was sued in the Supreme Court here Thursday by his white wife, Lucille Florence Johnson, for divorce. The action, undefended, was speedily tried before Justice Wasservogel, who reserved decision. Johnson and martial affaiars, which were indirectly responsible for his dethronement from his position as world champion, have kept him in hot water and an unfavorable lime light for years, and the granting of the decree, if it is granted, will mark the closing chapter of one of the most unique, humiliating and disgusting to a certain extent, love affairs in this country's history. The latter part of last week, Mr. Jesse Binga, president of the Binga State Bank, and his faithful assistant, Mr. Harry Scott, left for Hot Springs, Ark, where they will spend ten or fifteen days and greatly enjoy the hot baths. Owen HON. MARTIN B.

At a meeting last Saturday of Ohio delegates favorable to the candidacy of Senator Hiram Johnson, announcement was made that Harold L. Ickes, manager of the Johnson campaign in Illinois, was the choice after Mr. Johnson. The selection of Mr. Ickes was made in compliance with the Ohio law requiring that delegates to a national convention have a first and second choice candidate.

WHITE SHRINERS GET INJUNCTION AGAINST NEGROES Houston, Tex—Arabia Temple, Ancient Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, and the national white shrine body were granted a permanent injunction last week against "Doric Temple Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine" and the National Negro "Shrine" organization, preventing the "colorable imitation" of the costumes and insignia of the plantiff order. The defense gave notice of appeal and said the case would be carried to the Supreme court of the United States. The white shriners introduced evidence to show that their shrine was formed in New York City in the early 70s, and was based in a vague sort of way on the ritual of "Bektash," an Arabic order. The Negro "shriners" claimed that their "shrine" originated 656 A. D. in Egypt. The white shriners will be forced to get up early in the morning and go some before they will be able to get ahead of the colored shriners when it comes down to the great and the all important question as to which of the two orders of the mystic shrines are the oldest. The colored shriners can trace their title back for more than one thousand years, while the white shriners have only been in existence about 60 years.—Editor. NEWSPAPER MAIL The decision of Postmaster General New had newspapers shall be handled as expeditiously as letters by his department is a fine advance in public service. No longer will newspapers be mixed with parcel post or any other kind of mail below the first class. They must be sent to their readers as rapidly as the facilities of the post will permit. News is news in the happening. When it comes by freight it is history. And the newspaper is more desired than ever. In a sense, the delivery of a newspaper is more important than that of a letter, for nowadays the telephone and telegraph are in wide use for the transmission of urgent messages such as once were dependent on the mail for delivery. Radio has not removed the need of the quick transport of newspapers to the rural districts. Quite the contrary; it stimulates the appetite of the radio user for a complete account of the happenings which may have been related to him in part by wireless. ```markdown ``` CHARLES E. STUMP, WHO CONTINUES TO TRAVEL TOWARDS THE NEXT WORLD, IS ENJOYING THE BRIGHT WARM SUNSHINE DOWN IN FLORIDA. Orlando, Florida.—After all, this is not such a large world, yet you cannot look from one side to the other, but man has reached the place where he can stand in New York and talk to the other fellow in San Francisco, or deliver a sermon to an audience all around the world, so to speak, and listen to his words as they drop from his lips. This is a wonderful age, and when I think about what is going on today it causes me to become frightened. Why should I be, because I am told in the Holy Bible that man was made in the image of God, and if that be true then he is but a god in miniature. Just a few hours ago, so to speak, I was in Atlanta, talking to the bishops and listening to their words, and then I was in the lower house presided over by Dr. H. Y. Tools of Jacksonville, Florida, and heard them flay Ira T. Bryant, and believe me, they showed that they were against him by a large majority, for a resolution of censure was opposed by 7 and voted by 146, and that is voting some, and I am here to tell you that many of the voters were delegates to the next general conference. Unless there is a big change in sentiment, this old world is going to welcome Mr. Bryant back into private life, and he will no longer be an official in the great African Methodist Episcopal church. The laymen in the African Methodist Episcopal church have held three important offices, no, four of them, financial secretary, secretary of education, secretary of Sunday School Union, and editor of the A. M. E Church Review. The Review fell into the hands of the ministry again, and the other three are yet held by laymen, but what will be the result at the next general conference? I believe C. A. Wingfield will succeed Dr. R. C. Ransom, and then let us see 'what the other will be. But, honey, I have been very sick since I wrote you that other letter, but I am glad to report to you that I am better and now on the go again. I am thankful to say that I have been near Dr. George Cleveland Hall. He is down here in Florida, the king among the fishing people, and he is just taking the lead in this business. If you will remember he was sick during the Christmas week, and he is basking in this Florida sunshine, fishing, eating fruit, and now he is getting back to himself and will be prepared to look after the sick. He had a birthday down here in Florida. You see your getting born day and your death day will come, it matters not where you are, and this was his getting born day. Mrs. E. V. Clark of Ohio, who is some writer, dedicated the following verses to his getting born day: "All hail, thou king of fishermen, On this your natal day; There is no word-of tongue or pen, That can your worth portrait. We can but bow in humbleness, Before your majesty. As fishermen we must confess Our sure nonentity. When George makes a little wish, And casts his little line, Lake Harris yields its choicest fish; Even 'Jarks' do not decline. That soothing, gentle voice of his, That low, persuasive tone, Brings sure response and up they rise 'Twould melt a heart of stone. Not for a moment must you think In only this he shines; To M. D.'s, L. D.'s, other d's we link His name in uplift lines. But now, dear Doctor, earnestly Accept congratulations. We wish you most fervently The best of life's creations." From Georgina I stopped by Savannah, and there I met some friends, but will not take time to tell you about them in this letter. Rev. L. P. Pinckney had just crossed over the river, and there is just one more to welcome me into the Great Beyond when I shall close out here and go. I spent the day, and bright and early the next morning I beat the sun up and made it to Jacksonville, met Dr. R. J. Brown of Norfolk. He was on the road, making it to Florida, and we went down to St. Augustine together to see Prof. N. W. Collier and then I returned to the city. Dr. Brown and Dr. L. G. Jordan went on down to Miami, and here I am still in this part of the world. I looked at them and they looked at me. I spent the night with Dr. H. Y. Tools, who is to be one of the bishops, and the next day is company with Bishop and Mrs. Hurst, and Dr. S. S. Morris I made my way to this place, riding on that fast Seaboard iron horse carriage, and honey, that old fellow just snorted and fumed and grunted and groaned until he landed us here. I thought at one time he was going into the cramps, but he grunted all the pains away. Reaching the stable, I found Rev. H. K. Hill, D. D., pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist church, awaiting my arrival and he had his automobile car carriage there to tote me to his house, where I am at this time rusticating, and where I am getting the best of treatment, although Mrs. Hill is not here to regulate the milk question. She is doing good in Macon, Ga., this week and here I am down here in this place. Such is life, after all. Rev. Hill has been here a long time and he is doing a great big work. He is one of the outstanding men in Florida, and he believes in doing things. He is both progressive and aggressive. Now, let me tell you just a few things. Bishop Hurst has held a big conference here and one of the best in the history of the organization. They did not realize just how much they were loved, and I mean the Bishop and his wife; until now. To a man, they are now working to have him return to the district, and this is not on account of his personal beauty, for he would never take a prize in a beauty contest, but it is because of the service he has rendered to his church and to his people. When he came down here the whole church business was in a heluva fix, when men had their hands in each other's throats, and the educational work was a playhouse, and the campus of Edward Waters college was the playground for all. All the schools and colleges in Florida lagged at Edward Waters, but honey, put it down that I told you that in twelve years under this great leader of men, it has jumped to first place, and all take notice now and when they speak they are heard. That's the way to do things, and if you just give Bishop Hurst four years more then things will be accomplished and when you speak of Howard, Fisk, you will at the same time speak of Edward Waters, way down in Florida. I had the pleasure of being at a reception in this town, and the members of the South Florida Conference spoke right out in church, believe me, and they did not bite their tongues in saying to the world they intend to go to Louisville in May praying for the return of Bishop Hurst to complete the plans which he now has on the board: a theological seminary building and better training for the ministers. We all thank God for this. The leaders of Florida will be heard there. Dr. R. A. Grant is on hand and you will hear from him next May, for he is slated for the episcopacy. He is a fine man, a good man and a scholar. His heart is in his church work. Of course, Dr. John A. Gregg will be elected, Rev. R. C. Ransom, and there is Dr. T. J. Wilson, he should be, by all means. I would name them in this order: John A. Gregg, T. J. Wilson and then the scramble. Grant would make third place as I see it now. Are you going to be there? I just want to see Dr. S. J. Johnson elected secretary of the Church Extension, and it looks as if he will be elected on the first ballot. Listen and watch, for I am slated to be at the general conference and if I am I am going to keep you posted. Information comes to me that people from all parts of the country are getting ready to attend the National Race Congress in Washington, D. C. Many grave and important questions touching the race will come up at this meeting. It will be held about April 30. President Jernagin will send me the exact date soon and then it will be mine to let you know. I am not going to make a world now, but you may look for me somewhere and sometime. I find that I am about to write too much. I want you to remember that Dr. C. M. Tanner is slated for the episcopacy, and I will tell you more about him later. He is a worthy man, and should be elected. Remember the National Baptist Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress meet in Cleveland, Ohio, next June, and I hope you are going to be there.

Different Types of Men. "You can't treat all men in the same way when they come to you with a bright suggestion," says an employer. "One type of man you must thank several times and possibly reward him for his thoughtfulness. He goes away delighted and tries to think up more good ideas. Another type would feel contempt for me if he told me something I didn't already know. I'm obliged to tell him that I have already been thinking of the very thing he suggests." To Ripen Bananas The best way to ripen bananas is to hang them in a dark room at about 70 degrees Fahrenheit, well ventilated and kept at a high humidity. Humidity should be at about 85 to 90 per cent. There are many variations to this practice. Superstitions In Breeding The same superstitions on which the shepherds of Asia based their practices of animal breeding at least thirty centuries ago are still widely current, while the one sound principle known to the ancients, selection of the best for breeding stock, is still widely neglected. 10 KOVOR Senior Court of Cook County, who publican candidate for Judge of Cicago. Anderra's Strong Box Six iron locks, connected by an iron chain, guard a massive chest in the council hall of the little republic of Andorra, on the southern slope of the Pyrenees. A consul from each of the six parishes has a key, and the locks cannot all be opened unless the six consuls are present. No stranger is permitted to see the contents of the box, but they are supposed to be sheets of lead upon which is written the charter granted by Charlemagne. "Dark" Stars. The United States naval observatory says: "A dark star is an invisible or very feebly luminous star. As it is impossible to estimate the proportion of stars that are 'dark', it is conceivable that these may greatly outnumber the visible ones. That many dark stars do exist, however, is shown by their effects on the orbits and on the light of certain luminous ones, and by the appearance of novas." Scent In Gems The perfume of precious stones was discussed in a lecture in Geneva recently, says the New York World, by the French jewel expert De Henselaer. Some stones, such as the emerald, he said, give a subtle, pleasant scent when reduced to powder, while others, among them diamonds, have a disagreeable odor. The First Are Last For hundreds of years the Chinese have been skilled iron workers—the first in the world—but have imported all their steel. The first electric steel furnace has recently been installed at Shanghai, in the first steel foundry to be operated in the celestial kingdom. Its inauguration marks a new industrial era for China. Highest and Lowest Tide. Highest and Lowest Tide. The highest and lowest tide of the ocean occurs on the eastern coast of Nova Scotia in the Bay of Fundy. The range of the tide is 50 feet—that is, it rises at high tide to a height of 25 feet above mean sea level and at low tide drops to 25 feet below sea level. Where Leprosy Started. Leprosy had its origin in Central Africa and thence it spread to Asia. The hordes of the army of Darius brought it to Europe and it was taken to the Americas as an accompaniment of negro slavery, according to a writer in the London Quarterly Review. Ears for Steamers. Modern ocean steamers are being equipped with sensitive electrical "ears" by means of which sounds beneath the surface of the ocean are easily audible.

BOOK CHAT By Mary White Ovington Chairman, Board of tional Association ment of Col "VEILED ARISTOCRATS" Chairman, Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People By Gertrude Sanborn. Published by The Associated Publishers, 1538 9th St., N. W., Washington, D. C. Price $1.50. "Veiled Aristocrats" is a novel dealing with the aristocrats of colored blood. Unfortunately for the propaganda side of it, and it seems written distinctly for propaganda, the colored people are unreal, lifeless. The colored hero is endowed with more gifts than often come one man's way, but his extraordinary patience, his statuesque standing around when big things are happening make him a somewhat disappointing aristocrat. His white friend, however, who leaves his dull home and stupid parents in the South and gets sympathy and happiness out of his residence with black friends in Chicago, is a vital figure. The story turns on the love of a white girl for a colored man, the white girl learning conveniently at the eleventh hour that she Accessories to Add to Milady's Apparel An ornament for the evening coifure that only a very young woman dare wear is formed of autumn leaves in velvet, hand-painted in the virid natural colors, each leaf outlined with tiny rhinestones. These are sewn in a row upon a band of velvet ribbon. Other headdresses are of elaborate proportions, made of silver or gold tissue, embroidered in pearls or stones, and entirely cover the hair. One of Oriental design has ornaments at the side that hang over the ears in the Chinese fashion, and a chain of pearls looped under the chin. Beits of straw embroidered in worsted are among the new ideas. They are narrow and dainty and are attractive with the light or white tailored frocks on a slender figure. These and other smart belts in kid patent leather or suede are among the accessories that are to accompany the regulation skirt and shirt suit now returning to favor, particularly for sports wear. An extravaganza in fans is one of jade-green silk glauca in the shape of bat wings, with long gilt tassels pendant from the top and attached to the handle. It is an intricate arrangement, very showy and smart. Queer Creature One of the queerest creatures imaginable is the midwife toad. The female lays her eggs in long streamers, which the male collects and wraps around his legs. He carries them about in this way until they hatch into tadpoles. Stear Requires More Grain. In a series of studies made by the United States Department of Agriculture, it has been ascertained that it takes about six pounds of grain and six pounds of hay to produce one pound of beef. About five and a half pounds of corn will produce a pound of live pork. Book Has 108 Volumes The Bkahgyur, the sacred book of the Tibetan lamas, is one of the longest books on record. It is contained in 108 volumes. The Chinese and the Britannica encyclopedia are the next longest probably, though they are hardly books in the strict sense. Like All the Best. A terrible tragedy is reported from Suburbia. It appears that a lady recently wrote to an evening paper to say that she, at least, had found the perfect husband. Unfortunately her letter was never published, as the gentleman in question forgot to post it. Largest Waves From a series of observations made of waves of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans by a French naval officer, it was found that the largest waves occurred in the Indian ocean, where thirty different waves averaged 29 feet, the largest being 37 feet. A Giant's Bite An electric power shovel weighing three hundred tons, with an 80-foot reach and capacity of eight cubic yards at ue bite, has been built for use in quarrying limestone. Four men can operate it. Don't Climb for Fun. The Japanese do not climb mountains for the fun of the thing. When you find a Japanese making the ascent of Fuji, the sacred mountain, he is probably a pilgrim performing a plious duty, according to W. Weston, in the Geographical Magazine. Cost of Looking Pretty Cost of Looking Pretty. The annual sales of talcum powder, cold cream, rouge, lipsticks and toilet powder amount to $750,000,000, or about $15 for every woman in America. Directors of the Na for the Advance- ored People has Negro blood. So all ends happily. One feels that Miss Sanborn has gotten beyond her depths when she has tried to write about colored people. She wants to evoke sentiment in their favor, but she does not know her material well enough to make it seem real. The story is purely conventional in its handling, but with many good words in it for the colored race. It ends with the following excellent suggestion: "S'pose we turn the whole matter of the color scheme over to the Almighty—it was His idea in the first place, anyway—and let's look at the good in people no matter whether they've got on a Derby hat or a bunch of leaves, or whether their skin matches ours as close as we think it ought to or not. * * * What say, that with the besticed tea ever made we drink to the conscience of our country—may it waken soon!" Iced teal Compared with Toomer and Frank, this may certainly be characterized as an iced tea variety of story. School Laws in Switzerland. School Laws in Switzerland. In Switzerland if a child does not attend school on a particular day the parent gets notice from the public authority that he is fined so many francs; the second day the fine is increased, and by the third day the amount becomes a serious one. In case of sickness the pupil is excused, but if there is any suspicion of shamming a doctor is sent to the house. Wig and Robes Expensive. The wig and robes of an ordinary English judge cost approximately $2,000. The lord chancellor, the attorney general, the lord chief justice, the master of the rolls and lord justices of appeal are even more expensively dressed. First Egg Signals In U.S. Development of the radio compass for the first time made possible the taking of accurate bearings effectively at a considerable distance during a fog, but guns, fired occasionally, were the first fog signals used in this country. Huge Palm Leaves The Imaja palm, growing in South America, has leaves reaching a length of fifty feet and often ten feet wide. Another palm a native of Ceylon, has leaves twenty feet long and eighteen feet broad, from which the natives make tents and shelters. Zaro Women Supreme, but Ugly. The Zaro women of India are supreme. They woo the men, control the affairs of the home and the nation, transmit property, and leave the men little or nothing to do. The result is, says an eminent scientist who has investigated the race, that they are the ugliest women on earth. Weasel's Coat Quickly Whitens. Weasel's Coat Quickly Whitens. In cold countries where snow prevails during a long winter many animals change the hue of their coats to a white tint. The case of the weasel is especially curious; it retains its brown coat until the first snow appears, and then whitens in a few hours. Must Vote in Czechoslovakia Must Vote in Czechoslovakia Voters in Czechoslovakia are punished by a fine of not less than twenty Czechoslovak crowns nor more than 500 Czechoslovak crowns for their failure to appear at the polls on election day. In certain extreme cases excuses are accepted. Less Painful. Wife—"Richard, I wish you'd take care of the baby for an hour or so. I'm going to have a tooth pulled." Hub—"Aw, look here, Madge, you mind the kid and I'll go and have a couple of teeth pulled."—Boston Transcript. A Young Wag Father was explaining a not unusual winter sight. "You see, my son, the water in the river is so much warmer than the air that the vapor rises from it." "I guess," said Johnny, "I be warm, too, if Id run as far as that river has."-Bronx Transcript. Three Souls to Each Man Among the natives of South Africa there is a general belief in the split soul. One tribe believes in three souls—one in the head, another in the stomach, and a third in the big toe. No one would believe that there was once as much excitement about croquet as there is about mah jongg —but there was. Taxi for One.

It is 1,000 feet long and 100 feet wide, except for a center portion which is 300 feet wide to provide for a racing course across the pool. The depth varies from 3 to 14 feet and the cost of the pool was $80,000. Tells Time by His Beard. A farmer in West Wales says he has never worn a watch in his life.

Missouri River Longest. The Missouri river is not only the longest river in the United States, but it is the longest river in the world. Its actual length in miles is 4,194, and the Amazon, the next longest, which traverses Brazil in South America, is 3,944 miles. The Hoang-Ho in China and the Murray in Australia rank next, with 3,000 miles each. The Mississippi, often thought of as the greatest of all rivers, is in reality only 2,616 miles long.
