The fact that at the time that the National Association was started on its doubtful career only seven clubs joined it, but after twenty-five years of hard labor on the part of that noble band of women who had undying faith in each other the first seven clubs have continued to grow until they now number more than three hundred; that they are scattered throughout all parts of this broad land with a solid membership of more than one hundred thousand real live women who are constantly adhering to the slogan "Lifting as We Climb."

Everything worked as smoothly as a well-oiled clock at that long-to-be remembered Sunday afternoon mass meeting, excepting one unpleasant incident. It seems that Rev.

Each key is a master key, and a key for every one, being a master key it opens all doors. Nothing shall be hidden from you, nothing withheld. The very difficult task, yet most pleasant duty, is mine to extend welcome to this historic and history making organization on the part of the Chicago and Northern District Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. An organization composing more than two thousand loyal women, loyal to the principles of their organization, loyal to the government, loyal to their civic responsibility and loyal to their God. Chicago, the convention city of the world, has entertained as host every important gathering that has assembled on this continent, whether in church or state, but it is my candid opinion that no organization or gathering of any kind unless it was the church, itself has had a better program to lift humanity. Broadcast the principles of justice, fair-play, equality and make the world better than this organization now assembled in its 14th Biennial session. Not being a speech maker myself, I cannot talk at length and must therefore go to the very depths of my duty and take my seat. I am the proud custodian of [Image of a man with dark hair and a suit] [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. PROF.

THE FORTH COMING MEETING OF THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE By Cary B. Lewis When Robert S. Abbott, editor of the Chicago Defender and President of the Associated Business Club Exchange declared at a meeting at the Appomattox Club that "We must put it over" meaning that the entertainment of the 25th anniversary session of the National Negro Business League and Silver Jubilee must be the greatest meeting in the history of the national body, every member of the associated club shook his hand and said, "It must be done."

STEELE, AN ELDER- LY WHITE LADY OF CHAT- TANOOGA, TENNESSEE (From the Chattanooga Daily Times) Forty years ago Mrs. A. S. Steele, the guardian angel of the Steele Home for the Needy Children, arrived in Chattanooga from Massachusetts. She was accompanied by her daughter, then a child of tender years. This noble woman had left the luxury of a New England home, determined to consecrate her life to making lighter the burdens of the afflicted and needy. Although a stranger to everyone, she brought letters of introduction to several prominent residents. For two and one half years following her arrival here, she devoted her attention to the distribution of clothing, bedding and food to the needy without regard to their color. At the time poverty was much in evidence in the town because of the ravages of yellow fever that had stricken the community but a year or more before. When some good women opened a home for white orphans, Mrs. Steele aided in the work. Later a home for working girls was established and secured Mrs. Steele's sympathy and help. In the course of her charitable endeavors, Mrs. Steele became impressed with the lack of provision of the needy children. At that time one-third of the town's population was colored. As she has often expressed it, she found an appalling number of little Negro children without parents, relatives or friends: tiny tots, waifs who faced an inevitable future of beggary, crime or starvation. Mrs. Steele at first made efforts to engage the attention of philanthropic people here to the situation but while their sympathy was aroused they did not extend any substantial encouragement toward a solution of the problem. So, single-handed she faced the task. Her husband, a New Englander, had bequeathed her a department store business and the building. She sold the stock and real estate; also converted her former home into cash. With a part of the proceeds she bought the property at the corner of Palmetto and Straights streets, and built the present Steele Orphanage. It was dedicated in April, 1884. Discussing yesterday, April 22nd, 1924, the work of mercy in which Mrs. Steele has been engaged, one of her assistants at the orphanage said: Mrs. Steele believes that when Jesus said, "Go ye into all the world and teach the Gospel to every creature—and feed my lambs," the Savior included the colored as well as the white. Throughout the years she has counted it a privilege to consecrate her life to the work that she believes finds favor with the Master whom she humbly seeks to serve. For more than thirty-eight years she has had the management and direction of the home. She has been blessed with excellent health, and not for one single day has she put aside her devotion to the work in which she has been engaged here and elsewhere. She has labored without salary, without appropriation from the city, and has never made any direct appeal for a penny of help. The inheritance from her father and from her husband has long since been invested in her philanthropic undertakings. And yet in her earnest faith she declares "It is all a glorious investment, when looked at in the light of eternity, to have been permitted to use my means and my head and my heart in feeding, clothing, sheltering and educating 1,600 needy ones in the home that bears my name." In addition to the reclamation of these 1,600 lives and souls here in Chattanooga, many others, white, as well as colored, have been the recipients of this woman's benefice. Besides, she established two other homes for children and founded eleven day schools in the black belt of South Carolina It was learned yesterday that Mrs. Steele is just now having difficulty in securing the aid of competent women who will aid her in the training of the children. She has now more than fifty applications for the entrance of needy children, but, as she expresses it, "I am wondering if the Lord will provide five helpers who will love the souls of these innocents and aid me in their rearing." Mrs. Steele gets no aid from our city, county or state; never asks for a collection nor tells her needs. $12,000 Raised for Educational Purposes by The National Association of Colored Women M. MRS. EDITH TIFFIN STEWART President of the Illinois Federation of Colored Women MRS. EDITH TIFFIN STEWART PRESIDENT OF THE ILLINOIS FEDERATION OF COLORED WOMEN, DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING ADDRESS OF WELCOME MONDAY EVENING AT THE WENDELL PHILLIPS HIGH SCHOOL. Because of the innumerable virtues wrapped up in the personnel of this August body, representing women from all of the vocations of life and from the various condition of the human family, we feel that womanhood has indeed been made glorious, and words seem inadequate, to express the emotions that are awakened within us. We have looked forward to this event with happy anticipations, realizing the enjoyment of such a valuable gift of precious jewels, whose value could not be estimated in dollars and cents, but whose brillancy will glitter a thousand years in the glory and brightness of the ages. From time, immortal, it has been the custom of the civilized groups of this earth to pay homage to the stranger within its gates, to in various ways exemplify a spirit of joy and gladness upon his coming and to extend to him the hand of good will and fellowship. These affections and loves constitute the real poetry of human life, and are worth more than all other social ties. They give the first throb to the human heart and unseal the fountains of its love each bearing the others burden while each cultivating that mutual confidence which is a gift capable of increase and improvement, and soon it will be found that kindiness will spring upon every side, displacing constitutional unsuitability want of mutual knowledge even as we have seen sweet violets, primroses, dispelling the gloom of the gray sea rocks. Warm greetings from loving hearts, the many little arrangements for your comfort and enjoyment—these and like tokens of affection and admiration are some of the little things that we come bringing to you, for we consider it a very distinctive privilege as well as a real pleasure to have the honor of extending to this very distinguished body a welcome on behalf of the state of Illinois. It is with exceeding great pleasure that we are charged with the very honorable and most agreeable duty of expressing to you the reverence and affectionate esteem of the Illinois club women. We are indeed happy to have the privilege of paying you homage, proud to have you as our guest, realizing as we do that you represent unquestionably the very essence of true democracy whose motto might not only be "Lifting as we climb," but by of all, for all, for one of the most American things in all America is American Colored Women's Clubs. Your presence in our metropolitan city will be a greater power in arousing a greater interest in the work that we have dedicated our lives to. When I take the name of the N. A. C. W. upon my lips I feel that I speak of the great reservoir of loyalty and justice whose streams of influence permeates every department of the organization giving life and strength to its great sisterhood. A noble group of thinking women, who might be characterized the real missionaries of the world, nor need you fear that enthusiasm exaggerates your title to the public regard for the women's club has made for itself a clearly defined place in the public life of the nation. Coming as you do from our several homes and communities like valiant soldiers returning from the battlefield of life, with victory perched upon your floating banners, we are happy again to do you honor for our welcome to you means more than a kindly greeting, for through a merciful providence the ship of time has grinded us to the twenty-fifth anniversary, in which the state of Illinois became the first state to federate with the National body, and we feel quite safe in saying that no state body shows a record of more solid achievements. And in keeping with the great movements of the age, Illinois has kept a pace and our greatful appreciation of having you here on this momentous occasion fills our hearts to a joyful overflow of gratitude. We are delighted again to honor you for your zeal in working and pleading for better citizenship, the elimination of illiteracy, and for all of these finer acquisitions that have been for centuries recognized by our sister race but are only recent recognitions of our own and we feel proud to have the privilege to emulate the activities of your lives, and not only of yours but of the great National leaders, who paved the way through much opposition and blazed the trail for our present and future womanhood. We should never forget their council and advice. We should never forget to enshrine in our hearts that sainted and tireless worker, Mary B. Talbert. We feel that it was good to have walked with her if only for a little way. Two years ago it was our exalted privilege to sit in the midst of a great concourse of anxious beings and listen to the unanimous indorsement of a woman of sterling worth, inimitable integrity and unimpeachable character and by executive ability has displayed that firmness which showed to us a woman thoroughly acquainted with the real needs of this organization and the race as well. This noble character of whom I speak and all adore is the President of this very distinguished body, our own H. Q. Brown. The modern world stands on the brink of the unknown. It is impossible to forsee adequately the developments of even a few decades, and changes of momentous importance are occurring in every direction. This must be true to some extent of all ages for each is modern. To the masses they see the past completed in the present, but it is with difficulty that we can detect even a few of the organic filaments which are weaving the world of tomorrow. A new human ideal appears to be taking possession of the world, the ideal of common humanity. It is not enough for us that here and there a rare saint attains it, it is not enough that the results of civilization is accomplished for a few. We demand life for ourselves and for every human being. Our entire society is being transformed by the desire to give every man, woman and child all opportunity and life in striving for life, happiness, culture, intelligence, helpfulness and all ends of life that are worth seeking. At a single bound our memory is swept back to one who became a martyr for this new ideal, back to the great Emancipator, Abraham Lincoln who suffered martydom for the cause of human liberty, launched one of the greatest social problems known to civilization and engaged the attention of the human race. And out of the night the black woman raised high her head as a dainty bouquet of rare and sweet scented flowers, culled from the heart and mind resplendent virtues, those virtues that make a race glorious. Our one regret is that a THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, AUGUST 9. 1924 pilgrimage cannot be made to the blessed shrine of this great hero where all that remains of this sacred body slumbers in the bosom of mother earth in the city of Springfield, the capital of our state and we must recall the fact that this same city gave to us our own Colonel Otis B. Duncan of World War Fame. Our prayer is that the deliberation of this great body will be the most harmonious one ever held and that upon your return to your various states that your strength will have increased and you club zeal fired by the inspiration caught, and with your very souls burning with that ardent desire for a unity of purpose, a unity of thought and a unity of action. We feel sure that your stay in this great city will be one of pleasure as no other city in our mind excels in hospitality more than that of Chicago homes. And that when this biennial shall have ended in the fullness of eestacy, may you return to your homes thinking of dear old Illinois. THE HIGH CLASS MUSICAL FEATURES IN CONNECTION WITH THE MEETING OF NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COLORED WOMEN.

Mrs. Talbert is one of our best sopranos and is also a teacher of voice at the National University of Music, Chicago. Mrs. Talbert rendered her selections, "Summer" by Chaminade, and "Awakening" by J. Rosamund Johnson, only as an artist can. She possesses a rich voice. All of her tones were perfect. Miss Etta Johnson, soprano, sang Tuesday night. Miss Johnson was in good voice. She sang "Could You But Read My Heart." Miss Johnson is the soprano of Prof. N. C. Smith's artists' quartet.

Mrs. Pearl Winters of California sang "My Heart At Thy Sweet Voice," from "Samson and Delilah." Mrs. Winters is a contralto. She possesses a rich, sweet voice, her upper tones were free and musical.

DELEGATES FROM CAL. Pearl' Lowrey-Winters, Mrs. Sada Cole, Mrs. J. M. Scott, Mrs. Dodge, Mrs. M. Lyons, Mrs. Sterns, Mrs. Hutten, Mrs. B. Turner. MEETING OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COLORED WOMEN (Concluded from Page 1) was only one real colored newspaper owner or editor in this city who was worthy to open his mouth on the platform and address the ladies attending the sessions of the National Association of Colored Women and the ladies referred to serving as chairmen of the program committee, so it appears, induced Rev. Randolph to remain in this city for several months at the same time assuring her, so it is said, that she would be allowed ten minutes to address the great mass meeting or session on her wonderful trips to Africa and when she arose to speak she was informed by the president that she could only speak one minute. Rev. Randolph was thunderstruck at that announcement and she came very near falling clear through the floor, and the shame of it was that not one of her sister presidents or delegates sitting near her on the platform or in the audience had the courage to raise her voice in her behalf and to sift it right down she had the most important message that could ever be delivered by any human being, and it is very much regretted by all those who believe in fair play that Rev. Randolph was choked off in such a rough-handed manner.

Sightseeing trip, Saturday, 11:00 a. m. to 2:00 p. m. Chairman, Mrs. Nannie Reed. In passing, we must pause to honestly state that in our humble opinion it would have been much better for Mayor William E. Dever, if he was too busy himself to find ten minutes' time to address the ladies and welcome them to this great city, that it would have been wiser for him to have permitted Major Adam E. Patterson to represent his honor instead of delegating him to introduce Mr. A. H. Veeder to represent his honor. That act on the part of the mayor of Chicago caused Miss Elizabeth C. Carter to jump on him and roughly handle him without gloves. Among other things she stated that just before the elections the Colored people would endorse Greeks, Italians, Frenchmen, Irish-Americans and members of other races and freely vote for them without finding out whether they or their parents had ever been friendly to the Colored people and whether or not they have ever attempted to manfully stand up and fight for the civil, and political rights of the Colored people.

She says it was Exelente Quinine Pomade that rid her scalp of all dandruff and made her hair grow long, silky soft, and luxurient. It made her hair fairly glow. She gave it a pretty, glossy sheen. She was so delighted with Exelento Quinine Pomade, she tried Exelento Skin Beautifier for sallow complexions and skin bleemishes. She had used this remarkable cream but a short, complimenting wash. She complimented her on her clear skin and improved appearance. Anyone who wants lovely hair and a beautiful complexion should immediately purchase Exelento Quinine Pomade and Exelento Skin Beautifier.
