The Broad Ax

SPECIAL THE BROAD AX EXTRA Special Notice: The Next Issue of The Broad Ax Will Contain the Reflections of Julius F. Taylor on the Meeting of the National Negro Business League in Chicago THE WOMEN'S SOCIETY OF NEW YORK The Fourteenth Biennial Session of the National Association of Colored Women at the Wendell Phillips High School, August 3 to August 8, 1924, Chicago, Ill. COL. CHARLESE E. STUMP, THE REGULAR TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AX, HAS HIS SAY IN RELATION TO THE MEETING OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COLORED WOMEN. Birmingham, Alabama. I got around in Chicago for over one week, and now you see I am way down here in Alabama, but before you can say "scat" I will be right back in Chicago in the National Negro Business League, which meets Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and will be its Silver Jubilee, which means that it is just 25 years old and still it will get older. The people in Chicago were ready, and those who are going to attend it are also ready, hence you are going to find some real big things doing there. Of course they will be. There has been big doings in Chicago for a long time, and honey I was there last week when the Club women were clubbing, and they just elected Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune president, and it was a fine tribute to a woman of worth and a leader of women. I want to congratulate this National Convention on the wisdom exercised in electing this great woman, and it is going to be an administration of work and real work at that. I take off my hat to her, because she won her laurels. She is a work of work. As I told you I have been knocking around Chicago for over a week and had the pleasure of attending many sessions of this great big convention, and meeting some of the most prominent women of America, women who at once take their places among the thinkers. I wish I could just sit down and write the names of all them wonderful women, but that cannot be done, for I do not know their names. The most wonderful thing was how these women attended to business and how they just spoke right out in church. They are contending for their rights, and they are going to do it with tongue, with pen and then with ballot. They have the franchise and they are going to use it for who last the longest, and we will be saying within ourselves "Who would have think it?" The first meeting there I had the pleasure of meeting and shaking hands with Editor Julius F. Taylor, of The Broad Ax, and he was one more busy man. He looked to me like he knew everybody and all seemed to know him, but he was not too busy to shake my lily black hand, and tell me to strive to remain down here on 10 CENTS PER COPY ICE: The Next Taylor on the th Biennial Se Phillips High STUMP, THE REGU- NG CORRESPOND- BROAD AX, HAS ELATION TO THE THE NATIONAL AS- COLORED WOMEN. Next I met Dr. Mary F. Waring, a physician and surgeon of Chicago, and one of the most remarkable women of this race of ours. She has just received her authority to practice in Illinois and will soon hang out her shingle. Dr. Waring is one of the best trained women of our race, and it was a great thing to see her. She was active and contributed much to the success of the meeting. I am not going into any details of the meeting for Editor Taylor had another reporter on the job, and thought that I was not heavy enough to handle such a big job, and I don't blame him. He told me that I was not a mere cub reporter, but a specialist. I suppose I will have to put behind my name in the future "Charles E. Stump, Specialist." But that word is rather big, and I have not been able to find it in the dictionary. I will keep on looking and spelling it, before I use it, for they may be putting me down to the dogs. I heard Miss Elizabeth Carter pay her respects to the Mayor of Chicago, but I do not remember all the things she said about him hence I am not going to try to repeat them. The election was one of the interesting features, and they put Mrs. Ida Wells-Barnett up to run against Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, and when the polls were closed and votes counted, the only thing for Mrs. Barnett was "and she also ran." Mrs. Bethune is one of the most remarkable women of this country, saying nothing about race or color. She is a woman who has helped to put things over. Her whole life is devoted to uplift woman, and today is one of the best known women in America. She is conservative and takes advantage of every opportunity to serve her people. She is known all over America and in Europe, and it was fitting that she should succeed a woman like Miss Hallie Quinn Brown, of Wilberforce, Ohio. I hope the good Lord will give us more like her in this world. Mrs. Ida Wells-Barnett was voted on, and was not elected. She will not lose any sleep over this defeat, but will at once join in the race and help to put things over. She is interested in her people and their development. I met many of the strong and able women, but I do not know as I should mention them, for I cannot use all their names. I know the THE BALLET The celebrated actress who is widely known in all parts of this country and clear across the deep blue sea, opened up at the Garrick Theatre Sunday evening. She is a scream in her latest revue or production, "From Dixie to Broadway." She is presented by Mr. Lew Leslie. "From Dixie to Broadway" is the most sensational and the greatest musical revues on earth and everything indicates that it will have a long run and play to capacity houses all the time at the Garrick Theatre. The variety and infectiousness of the colored revues have established them as one of America's favorite forms of entertainment. president, the secretary, the heads of the various departments and many others. They were there from all parts of the country. I must not forget to tell you that I spent a whole Sunday in Springfield, Illinois, and honey I had a big time there. I had the pleasure of being the guest of the Union Baptist church, Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Smith, and many others, and then I spoke Sunday morning for the Rev. Dr. Shaw, pastor of St. Paul A. M. E. church, and in the evening for that Union Baptist MISS FLORENCE MILLS actress who is widely known in clear across the deep blue sea Theatre Sunday evening. She sue or production, "From Dixie led by Mr. Lew Leslie. Miss Florence Mills is now capping the climax of previous successes by appearing as the star in what is called the most elaborate of all these characteristically American shows. It is in two acts and twenty-five scenes and is presented by Mr. Lew Leslie. With the star appears some of the best known colored entertainers in church. I stopped with my friends and had a big time. I find that the people of Illinois are getting ready to send Ex-Governor Deneen to the United States Senate and he will be a safe man there. I am proud that they have decided on this. I have made up my mind that I am going to get acquainted with him, and he will have my vote, and I think I shall talk about him. We are going to get behind good men in this election, for we cannot afford to make mistakes. We must be careful this election. --- America, including Shelton Brooks, whom critics have hailed as the logical successor to the late Bert Williams; Hamtree Harrington, Miss Cora Green, Will Vodery and his famous band and a number of others, together with an electrical chorus of the kind for which these colored revues are famous. This getting around in Chicago is not all that one would like. You must keep your eyes open and then you have got to be careful on this rush-business. It is a problem to get the people around in Chicago. They have big things running, and then they have the street wagons, and they have another things running up in the air, and still the streets are crowded, and them automobile car carriages are just pushing through the country, through the city and at times they knock into each other. It is a wonderful age. Now there are a few men who have formed a dislike for work, and they get in the crowd and put their hands in your pocket, take all your money or anything else you have. They tell me they have light fingers, and there is another class who will tell you to "stick 'em up" and they have a dangerous looking thing in your face, and the mouth of it looks as large as the moon. They wait until you work and earn your money and they strive to take it away from you. I notice one took the pocket book of Mrs. Elvie L. Stewart, and she cried a week over it. She got in the rush. A fellow tried to put his hands in my pocket, but I had buttons on them and when I found him at it, I proposed to send him to a hot climate, a place where the wind was never known to blow, and where you can use palm leaf fans the year round, and they have never seen any ice there. I have been preaching against people going there, but I was ready to send that fellow there, and would have done so if I had been in possession of a smoke-wagon. They are going to lay for the businessmen next week. Big Six will be on hand and I will let you my head to a ginger cake that he is going to land some of them fingers on the inside that they may look out. I had the pleasure of seeing Miss Anna Peachblossom in her office in Chicago. She is a remarkable young woman, and I admire her because she is doing something and because she stands for something. She has made a place for herself in Chicago, and it doth not yet appear all she will do. She is a writer, and I saw her use one of them writing machines. She is an expert in the business. The Lord is just doing things. I rode some in Chicago, for Charles Stewart Jr., toted me around in his automobile car carriage, and Rev. F. W. Penick toted me in his automobile car carriage, and between these two I did not have to hike much. Here I am at this time at the home of Mrs. Carrie A. Tuggle, but honey before you can read this letter I will be away from her. I wish I could tell you just who this remarkable race woman is, and how she is devoting her life for the uplift of the youth. She is just a real mother, and the instructor of women. Because of her contribution to the race, she is as poor as Job's turkey hen, but she is rich in service. She has won her place on earth and a high place in heaven. A life of service. You will understand that she is not a beggar. I will have something to say about the National Baptist convention in another letter. It is going to meet in Nashville, Tenn., September 10. I am to stop with one of the next Bishop in the A. M. E. Church, Dr. Julian C. Caldwell, of the A. M. E. Sunday School Union. I will have to stop here. VETERAN JOURNALIST GARVEY-DUBBED "DUKE," GETS ROYAL BURIAL New York—Harlem buried its first "royalty" Sunday afternoon, when three funeral services were held for John Edward Bruce, newspaperman and politician, who bore the title of "Duke of Uganda" in the U. N. L. A. Over 5,000 members in regalia of crimson and gold, with sabres drawn, marched behind the hearse, following the funeral services. Mr. Bruce, who was 67 years old was employed in 1870 in the Washington office of the New York Times, where he was fired with an ambition to become a journalist. His writings were circulated throughout this country, Europe and even Africa, and he developed great influence. He covered Washington for a syndicate of Negro journals for years, writing many political stories under the pen-name of "Bruce Grit." He was a member of the American Negro Academy and a founder of the Negro Society for Historical Research. Bruce died in the Bellevue Hospital last Thursday afternoon. Mr. Bruce was for many years one of our warm friends, he was a powerful logical writer and several times with our pens dipped in warm words and bitter gall we fought each other through the columns of the Colored American, Washington, D. C. and The Broad Ax, and it was always hard to tell who got away with the bacon. May he rest in peace to the end of time.—Editor. BISHOP PARKS SENIOR BISHOP A. M. E. CHURCH With the death of Bishop L. J. Coppin, Bishop W. H. Parks becomes automatically the senior bishop of the A. M. E. Church—that is senior in active service. Bishop B. F. Lee is the bishop longest in office, having been elected in 1892. As senior bishop, Bishop Parks thus becomes the ranking bishop of 7,000 ministers, who are pastors of 7,500 churches with a membership and following of nearly 800,000 people, and will preside over all the meetings of the Bishops' Council. Bishop Henry Blantom Parks was born in Georgia and educated in Atlanta University. He was missionary secretary from 1896 to 1908, and elected bishop in 1908. He was delegate to the Ecumenical Conference in 1911; and served as president of the Financial Board of the A. M. E. church. Was bishop over Alabama and Tennessee, served four quadrennium over the Fifth district, and is now serving his first quadrennium over the 18th district comprising California, Washington, Oregon and Oklahoma. Bishop Parks served as pastor of St. John's A. M. E. church, Omaha, some years ago.

She Ranks Among the Most Intellectual Members of the Colored Race in the United States. Entrenched Prejudice Most nations, like most men, are docile only in youth; they become incorrigible as they grow old. When customs are once established and prejudices rooted, it is a dangerous and useless enterprise to try to reform them, the people will not permit their misfortunes to be touched upon, even for their instruction—like the stupid and cowardly sick who shudder at sight of a physician—Jean Jacques Rousseau. Mexico's Largest Pyramid Mexico's Largest Pyramid The pyramid at Cholule, west of the city of Puebla and about 60 miles southeast of Mexico City, is the largest in Mexico. Its base is 1,400 feet square and the altitude is 200 feet. Its volume is 130,066,000 cubic feet This pyramid in Mexico has a greater number of cubic feet of masonry, although it is not so high, than the great pyramid in Egypt. Virginia Brick First Bricks were first made by the settlers in this country in Virginia in 1611, in Massachusetts in 1629 and in Pennsylvania in 1883. History shows that the brick walls of Fort Duquesne and Fort Pitt afforded protection against the savages, and that other structures of the time were built of brick. Commercial production, however, did not attain any importance until the latter part of the Eighteenth century.

You will search it in vain for "aspidistra" and "appendicitis," "boche" and "bolshiste," "cinema" and "camoufage," "decontrol" and "Dora," "broadcasting" and "listening-in," "boootlegging," and "dope flend," for a dictionary published today is almost out-of-date tomorrow. 1 1 465 HON.

Foolish Ambition It is an indiscreet and troublesome ambition that cares so much about fame; about what the world says of us; to be always looking in the faces of others for approval; to be always anxious about the effect of what we do or say; to be always shouting to hear the eckoes of our own voices.—Long, fellow. Independent Indians The Croatan Indians in the state of North Carolina are not under the control of the United States government. They have their own tribal form of government. They are located at Pembroke, about 70 miles west of Wilmington, in Roberson county. Can You Really Blame Them? One of the strange things of life is that hundreds of men can be induced to yell and parade and cheer and fight for an hour at a stretch when they would refuse to saw wood for five minutes.—Shoe and Leather Reporter. Three Famous Lakes The famous Lakes of Killarney are three connected bodies of water, one of which is about a mile and a half from the town of Killarney. They are situated in the midst of the Kerry mountains.

MRS. S. JOE BROWN, THE WORTHY GRAND MATRON, DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING HISTORICAL ADDRESS DURING ITS SESSIONS: International Patron, Officers and members of the International Conference of Grand Chapters of O. E. S., I greet you: Two years ago at our Nation's Capital, when I received at your hands elevation to this, the highest office within your organization, I felt that I owed you a debt of gratitude, that could be paid only in services to the cause we represent; and the thought most prevalent in my mind was the devising of plans whereby we could make the biennial period which is now closing and this our 9th Biennial Conference the best in the history of our organization as you have a right to expect it to be. Just ten years ago, our International Conference convened in this, the historic city of Pittsburgh with about thirty-nine representatives of about twelve Grand Jurisdictions; and I am sure that the good citizens of Pittsburgh as well as the representatives of the various Jurisdictions who have come here at a sacrifice to both themselves and their Grand Chapters will be eager, to note what progress our organization has made during this decade. First of all permit me to say that anticipating this situation and in order that I might be the better prepared to give out information in response to the frequent inquiries that was sure I should receive from time to time, in my efforts to inspire those Grand Jurisdictions that I had never been represented in our Conference as well as to reclaim if possible those that had once been represented but had fallen by the wayside, I attempted to gather all the information possible with reference to the origin and history of the O. E. S. among Colored people in America and elsewhere. I have found that there was a published record of the Order among white Americans from the year 1857 when Robt. Morris its founder published his first Ritual. I have also found that there is a published record of Freemasonry among Colored Men of North America from the institution of the first Lodge under Prince Hall in 1775, but find in it no mention whatever of the O. E. S. or any other department of female Masonry among our women. I therefore began a research among those that I thought might be able to furnish me with such information and having failed to find a compiled record or history of the Order, I proceeded to send out questionnaires seeking such information from the thirty-four Grand Chapters in the United States and Canada reputed to be regular; and also made several unsuccessful attempts to ascertain whether there was a Grand Chapter on the continent of Africa. While en route to Vancouver, British Patron of the Jurisdiction and was approached by a lady of the other race, who recognizing my O. E. S. emblem enquired of my identity and my mission; and upon being informed, replied that she was from Ketchikan, Alaska, and lived neighbor to a matron of the O. E. S. whom she was sure would be pleased to have me pay her Chapter a visit and furnished me with her name and address; and I presuming of course that the matron referred to was a member of my own race, being elated over the fact that I had discovered that we had Chapters and perhaps a Grand Chapter in the far away territory of Alaska, opened correspondence with her only to find that she, like my informant, was a member of the other race, affiliated with their General Grand Chapter and was very much surprised to learn that there was any other. On this trip to the Pacific Coast I travelled nearly five thousand miles, passing thru fourteen different states stopping first in Minnesota, where I visited my own, Electa Grand Chapter of Iowa, and Jurisdiction, which includes a portion of Minnesota and which was holding in St. Paul its 16th Annual Communication. Finding that I was going to arrive in California, the 2nd Oldest Grand Chapter, too late for their Annual Communication, I wired them a word of greeting and an invitation to join our International Conference, and upon my arrival at Bakersfield, had a pleasant visit at the home of Sister Aline Hueston, who resides in that city, and accompanied me to Los Angeles to a platform meeting on a Sunday afternoon, where there appeared upon the same program aside from your International Matron, the Grand Matron of California, the Grand Matron of Arizona and the Grand Representative of Colorado. Later in the week the Grand Patron of California, who resides in Los Angeles, arranged a joint meeting between the three subordinate Chapters of that city in the beautiful Masonic Temple which is the property of Negro Masons, where we again appeared on a program with the Grand Patron, two past Grand Matrons, a past Grand Master of the California Jurisdiction and the Grand Secretary of the New England Grand Chapter, who like myself was visiting the Golden West. In Arizona where we made our next stop and which is one of our youngest Grand Jurisdictions, a meeting had been arranged in Phoenix, by the Grand Patron, Bro. Clay Credille, who had been advised of our coming by Sister Lynn Ross Carter, Grand Matron and where we were very pleasantly entertained. We next found ourselves in the Lone Star State, presided over by our Associate International Patron, Broj J. C. Scott, whose Grand Communication we also missed by one week. However, thru the courtesy of Brother Scott, we were permitted to visit the Widows and Orphans' Home, the pride of the Texas O. E. S., and also the magnificent Masonic Temple, the pride of the Texas A. F. & A. M., both located at Ft. Worth, and in the latter of which we found the office of our official organ the "Eastern Star." Our next and last stop was in the "show me" state where we found at St. Louis, Sister Marie Hedgmond, Grand Matron of the United Grand Chapter as well as Princess Fannie G. W. McDonald, Captain of the International conference of Heroines of the Templar Crusades, in whose home we spent a very pleasant evening after a conference with the Grand Matron and some of the other outstanding characters of this Jurisdiction. From St. Louis we returned home, but about two weeks later made a trip to Kansas City, Kansas, to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and there met and conferred with Sister Marie Seanes, Grand Matron of the Kansas Jurisdiction, which is the only Jurisdiction so far as I am advised that publishes its own Ritual. Now as a result of this tour of visitation, gathering data whenever and wherever possible, together with the information that I have received by way of responses to the questionnaires, I have been able to gather and now bring to you the following historical data: About a half century ago, and just one hundred years after the founding of the first Lodge of Negro A. F. & A. M. Bro. Thornton A. Jackson, having received the degrees from a deputy of Robert McCoy, in the year 1875 there was instituted in the city of Washington, in the District of Columbia, the first subordinate Chapter of O. E. S.; and five years later, in the year 1880, in the city of Washington, North Carolina, Bishop J. W. Wood organized the first Negro Grand Chapter of O. E. S. followed closely by California in the year 1881. Then came Tennessee and others in succession until Grand Chapters of O. E. S. have been organized and now exist among Negroes in thirty-four Jurisdictions including that of Ontario, Canada, each of which is supreme within itself and adopts its own form or ritualistic work, which has naturally resulted in a great variety in the manners of working in the various Grand Jurisdictions. After some years there arose a sentiment in favor of closer union and greater uniformity of work among the several Grand Chapters in which sentiment doubtless was in the mind of Mother Letitia L. Foy, whom we all love to honor, when in the year 1907 she called together in the historic old city of Boston, representatives of a number of Grand Jurisdictions and formed this organization that is now known as the International Conference of Grand Chapters of O. E. S. Today we have in our thirty-four Grand Jurisdictions more than a hundred thousand members, having in their combined treasuries about a half million dollars. Eight Grand Jurisdictions are maintaining their own Homes for Widows and Orphans and several are assisting in maintaining Masonic Temples valued all the way from seven thousand to a quarter of a million dollars. Many operate Burial Funds and Endowment Departments which pay upon the death of a member from twenty-five to five hundred dollars. Some have their own printing establishments from which their official journals and other publications are issued and several have their Juvenile Department thru which the youth of our fraternity are given burial benefits as well as valuable training in the conduct of business and social affairs. Now while you are to be commended upon the wonderful progress you have made during these forty-nine years of your history, I am sure you will agree with me that the Order of Eastern Star, one of the outstanding factors in the world's progress, should be a greater force in stimulating its members to a more intelligent participation in civic, national and international affairs, each standing out in our several communities for a practical application of the guiding principals and ideals exemplified in the characters of our Five Heroines. While as I have already stated a great work is being done in some of our Jurisdictions among the youth of our fraternity; yet realizing as I do that there are many Jurisdictions that have not such a department and that the boys and girls of today are the men and women of tomorrow and that upon us rests the grave responsibility of shaping the lives of these young people, that they shall be the better prepared to complete the tasks we shall be compelled to leave undone, I would urge that wherever it is practicable the various Grand Jurisdictions establish some form of Juvenile Department, and that in those Jurisdictions where such is not thought practicable, there be organized a Junior Division of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in which Race History is taught and black ideals instilled into our young people thus fitting them for the leadership of the next generation. And, while I would not suggest the taking of our Order into politics, yet in this new day of our women everywhere should be urged to make use of their right of suffrage, where they are permitted to do so and that when they vote to not fail to vote to place in office men and women who will safeguard the interest of our group as well as the public in general in both State and National Legislatures, and by so doing we may do away with the present status wherein our National Congress has failed for two sessions to pass the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, because as the Senators themselves declare there has been no demand for such legislation on the part of their constituents. During the biennial period, we have received and replied to many communications enquiring for suggestions as to how to adjust all kinds of perplexing problems, some of them arising out of a lack of co-operation between the Grand Matron and the Grand Patron, in most of which cases the Grand Patron has overlooked the fact that the Grand Matron is the presiding officer, and he her legal adviser or assistant, not her superior or dictator; and to avoid a recurrence of such we would urge upon the brethren, should there be any such present, that they use more precaution in assuming the prerogatives of the presiding Grand Matron; that they spend a little more time studying the constitutions and laws of the Order that they may get a proper conception of the relative functions of the offices of Grand Matron and Grand Patron and that they not attempt to perform both. But perhaps the most unfortunate difficulty that has come to our attention is that in several Jurisdictions the Grand Master of A. F. & A. M. seems to have conceived the idea that he is also Grand Master of the O. E. S. and has even gone so far as to carry his contentions in this respect into the civil courts, thus proving to the members of the other race that either that our men have no confidence in their women or that we are not yet ready for our own leadership. Now it is true that our Order was originated by Master Masons for the Protection of their wives, widows, mothers, sisters and daughters and hence cannot exist without the co-operation of the members and more especially the officers of the Blue Lodges; and in my humble judgment it is conductive to the strength and C.

Successful lawyer who stands high in the estimation of all the leading Judges in this city and county and Republican candidate for re-election to the Legislature from the First Senatorial District of Illinois. Among the different candidates whose names will appear upon the official board to be voted for, there is none in whom is most deserving and more meritorious than Hon. S. B. Turner. Some others may be more brilliant and speak more fluently in their public utterances than Mr. Turner but then, there is none who are more infallible and who can come more influenced and command more good than Mr. Turner. As a worker he is indefatigable and can accomplish things where others signally fail. One who is strong and strenuous in his devotion to duty and loyalty to his friends. He has also made a brilliant and successful record as a legislator which merits his continuance in office but as a member of the bar he has achieved a distinction of which any lawyer may well be proud of, with him there is no such word as fail. Success in all things; failure is nothing. Those who trust their interest to growth of both the O. E. S. and the A. F. & A. M., that the most cordial co-operation should exist between these two organizations. But in some Jurisdictions, notably in Missouri and the State of Washington, instead of co-operation we have the most bitter antagonism. In each of these Jurisdictions, the Grand Lodge or its officers have gone so far as to organize an opposition Grand Chapter resulting in one side or the other appealing to the civil courts for protection in what they claim to be their rights in the matter. But the civil courts are always slow to step in and attempt to arbitrate between two contending factions of a fraternal or a religious organization, for like Pilate when the Jews brought ```markdown ``` M.

In the State of Washington, however, as will be discovered by a careful reading of the "Final Order and Judgment" in the case a copy which was presented to us while on our visit to the Tacoma Grand Chapter, about the only thing the Court did was to enjoin the Grand Master by himself or deputy from further suspending members of the A. F. & A. M. who were affiliated with the opposition (Continued on page 3) 1930 Illinois, who has always been fair-mindedness towards Colle-elected Governor of this State MRS. S. JOE BROWN ADDRESSED THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE AT PITTSBURGH, PA. (Concluded from page 2) Chapter, "except in good faith, after written charges have been preferred against them, and after trial in their respective lodges, in accordance with the procedure in such cases made and provided for in Masonic Laws" So far as we have been advised there has been no final decision in the Missouri case; but it is not unreasonable to expect that the Missouri court, if it ever decides at all, will in all probability follow the example of the Washington and other courts thus leaving intact the two Grand Chapters in each of these Jurisdictions, each claiming to be the only legitimate one and accusing the other of being irregular or "clandestine," which is indeed an embarrassing situation, and such as ought not to exist; and while we realize that this International Conference is only a "conference," not having or claiming to have any authority to step in and decide which of these rival Grand Chapters is right; yet we do believe that since it is a "conference" of Grand Chapters it is the proper place for representatives of these rival Grand Chapters to come together and confer and that it is our duty as representatives of sister Grand Jurisdictions to lend our influence and good offices to assist them if possible to settle their differences, which it seems the civil court are either unable or unwilling to do. Hence believing that some good might be accomplished along this line by a free and open discussion here of the respective prerogatives of the Grand Lodges and Grand Chapters, I have given over an hour Friday morning at 10 o'clock to the discussion of the subject of "Co-operation between the A. F. & A. M. and the O. E. S. in which discussion I have invited to participate a number of present and past Grand Masters including the two who are accused of overstepping their prerogatives in organizing rival Grand Chapters of O. E. S. in jurisdictions where regular Grand Chapters already existed. We have also invited to be present and participate in this discussion, each of the male presiding officers of the other International Bodies that are holding sessions here at this time; and while some have already voiced their protest at our allowing the accused Grand Masters to be heard, we feel that they are nevertheless our brethren. We are their wives, mothers, sisters and daughters and believe that no harm and unquestionably much good might result from this symposium. Necrology Since our last Biennial Session, the Grim Reaper has invaded our ranks and has robbed us of some of our brightest jewels. It is therefore with deepest regret that we report the passing of Sister Kittie Terrell, of St. Paul, Minn., a past Grand Matron of the Illinois Jurisdiction and the first Matron of this International Conference, and Sister Emma Kennedy, another past Grand Matron of Illinois, who was with us at our last Conference at which she was appointed our International Marshal. On each of these occasions and on the occasion of the passing of two other members of our Order, who were not members of this Conference, because of their wonderful contributions to the uplift of womanhood and the cause of humanity in general, we sent messages of condolence to the bereaved relatives, in the name of this Conference. The other two sisters to whom I refer were Mrs. Nora P. Taylor, of Chicago, Grand Daughter Ruler of the National Grand Temple of Daughters of the I. B. P. O. E. W., and Mrs. Mary B. Talbert of Buffalo, N. Y., President of the Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical Assn., Honorary President of the National Association of Colored Women and the only woman to whom has been awarded the Spingarn Medal of the N. A. A. C. P. To assist in perpetuating the memory of Sister Kittle Terrell, Sister Janie Cox and our other past International Matrons and I have had made and brought with me to this Conference a panoramic portrait containing the likeness of each arranged in order and giving the name of each, the Grand Jurisdiction from which she hailed and the dates that she served you, to be sold at a nominal fee so as to cover the cost of the making of the cuts and the printing. Having for several years filled the office of Foreign Correspondent of my own, the Iowa Jurisdiction, I find that there seems to be much confusion in the minds of some as to the duties of this office; I also find great differences of opinion relative to the manner of appointing and the duties of Foreign Representatives. I also find that there is still much confusion in our various Grand Jurisdictions concerning the so-called "higher degrees." Because of these misunderstandings, much time is consumed and the work of our beautiful Order very much muddled in some of the subordinate Chapters; and since as we have already suggested that one of the prime objects of this Conference is to try to approach uniformity along all lines of O. E. S. work, we have placed on our program each of these topics for an open discussion, in which we hope to bring out the opinions of the best brain of the Order, which we are sure we have present here and we urge upon those among us of less experience along these several lines to take the most earnest heed to the opinions of those better informed than ourselves and when we return to our several Grand Jurisdictions, let us put into practice what shall here be agreed upon as the proper method of doing these things; for it is only through some such method as this that we shall ever arrive at anything like uniformity of work. Those of us who were present or who have read the proceedings of our last Biennial Session will remember that at that session we were favored by the presence and an address of Dr. Wm. Pickens, one of the Field Secretaries of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in response to which this Conference adopted a stirring resolution endorsing the work of that organization and urging upon the U. S. Senate the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill; and pursuant to the spirit of this resolution and in order to place our organization on record in a more tangible way, especially with reference to the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill in October, 1922, with the co-operation of the good women of my own state, we raised and sent in to the Anti-Lynching Fund of the N. A. A. C. P. the sum of two hundred dollars, as a result of which we were asked along with one hundred other men and women of both races who had taken prominent parts in this anti-lynching drive, to give a brief statement for publication by the Anti-Lynching Committee, which we gave under the caption of "The International Conference of Grand Chapters of O. E. S." In the early part of the year 1923 we received a communication from Mrs. Addie W. Hunton, another Field Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., as Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, inviting us to go as a representative of this Conference to the 3rd Pan-African Conference which was held in London and other points in Europe, suggesting that she was sure you would be pleased to take care of the expense of something like a thousand dollars; and while I knew or rather believed that you were desirous of being a factor in all worth while movements especially for Racial uplift, I felt that the time was not ripe for us to assume an obligation quite so great as this; hence I did not even take the matter up with my cabinet, but did send a message to the Conference bearing the greetings and best wishes of this International Body. In February 1924, I received a communication from Dr. Kelley Miller, inviting me as your presiding officer to participate in the Sanhedrin or All-Race conference to be held in Chicago the week of the 11th of that same month, and appreciating in a measure the importance of such a movement, having myself organized on March 1923 an Inter-Fraternal Council for my home city, Des Moines, Iowa, comprising representatives of a majority of the thirty-three subordinate fraternal organizations in that city coming from seven different fraternal families or institutions, having an object quite similar to that of the Sanhedrin, namely closed contact between different of our groups, without expenses to this Conference and with a view to giving further publicity to our organization, I delegated Sister Louisa U. Webb, our International Secretary, who resides in Chicago, to represent us in that meeting and to report the same to this conference. My first official act after the close of our last Conference was to have printed fourteen hundred letter-heads containing the names and addresses of all our International Officers and to issue an order on our International Treasurer in payment of the same. I next sent a letter of greeting to THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, AUGUST 23. 1924 M. H. Ex-State Senator from the First Senatorial District of Illinois, ex-City Comptroller of Chicago, who has just returned from an extensive pleasure trip to many parts of the Old World, and Senator Harding freely states that no other country or nation on earth can compare to the United States; that dear old Chicago in most instances far surpasses London, England, and Paris, France. [Name] Ex-Alderman of the old 31st Ward, at the present time Assistant State's Attorney of Cook County, who would make a splendid candidate for one of the new Judges of the Superior Court of Cook County, to be voted for this coming fall. Ex-Alderman of the old 31st Ward, at the present time Assistant State's Attorney of Cook County, who would make a splendid candidate for one of the new Judges of the Superior Court of Cook County, to be voted for this coming fall. each Grand Matron, appraising them of the achievements of our 8th Biennial Conference and inviting them to be present at this session, and followed these up with letters of greeting to the several Grand Chapters as they met, then by the questionnaires already referred to; these with my repeated attempts to get into touch with Grand Chapters of other continents and my responses to the innumerable communications that have come to this office during the biennium have necessitated my sending out several hundred communications in the interest of the Conference. Our last official act was the signing of an order on our Treasurer for $100 as part payment of the bill of $ for the printing of the proceedings of our 8th Biennial Conference, which seemed to us quite a sum; but it seems that the work was let without any expressed agreement as to the amount it was going to cost; and I therefore recommend that hereafter bids be received and the work be let to the party making the lowest bid other things being equal. I further recommend that in the interest of uniformity, the Grand Matrons and Patrons here present pledge themselves that they will recommend to their respective Grand Chapters, that hereafter no degrees be conferred in our O. E. S. Chapters except the five degrees of the Order of Eastern Star, this of course having no reference to regularly organized and duly constituted Palaces of the HON. GEORGE F. HARDING Sculptor from the First Senatorial Duty Comptroller of Chicago, who has extensive pleasure trip to many parishes and Senator Harding freely states that nation on earth can compare to that dear old Chicago in most instances England, and Paris, France. In view of the fact that the McCoy Ritual which is being used by most of the Grand Chapters of our people throughout the United States and Canada, is an exposed work, the sale of which is not confined to members of the Order, I recommend that this International Conference appoint a committee to compile a Ritual of our Order, to be copyrighted and published under the supervision of this Conference and to be sold only to those known to be members of our Order. I also recommend that a committee be appointed to publish a brief History of the Order of Eastern Star among Colored Men and Women to be distributed at a nominal price among our members and any others interested for by this means we shall not only be preserving a most important phase of our Race History but shall also attract to our beautiful Order many who are ignorant of its glorious record of achievements of both the present and the past. In conclusion permit me to again express to you my profound gratitude for having had the privilege of serving you during the biennial period that is now about to close, in the manifold duties of which I have been greatly assisted by our very efficient International Secretary to whom in particular and to all my International cabinet in general I feel deeply grateful, and PETER M. BURGESS HON. SCOTT M. HOGAN of the old 31st Ward, at the presen ts Attorney of Cook County, who w candidate for one of the new Judges of Cook County, to be voted for this com while we have not been able to accomplish all that we had hoped we might, we have done our very best to live up to the resolution we made upon our elevation to this most exalted station, namely to show our appreciation by rendering service to the cause. Charity in Judgment Those who themselves need the charitable judgment of other people should above all things be lenient in their own judgments. For my part, I consider the best and most finished type of man to be the person who is always ready to make allowances for others, on the ground that never a day passes without his being in fault himself, yet who keeps as clear of faults as if he never pardoned them in others—Pliny the Younger. Family Is Small The number of young is most often three in the case of the larger western mole and four with the common eastern species, says Nature Magazine. They are born in the latter half of March and early in April. British National Flag The "Union Jack," the national flag of Great Britain, came into being in 1801. It is an amalgamation of the banners of St. George, St. Andrew and St. Patrick, representing the three united kingdoms. Cane Juice Heavy The sugar cane juice, constituting about 80 per cent of the weight of the cane, says Nature Magazine, is clarified by the addition of lime. "Fairy Music" May Not Stories of fairy music in the forest, of haunted waterfalls, and mermaids singing near the seashore, long thought mere figments of the imagination, may have a sound basis in fact. In an issue of Science, Dr. Alexander Forbes of the Harvard medical school reports numerous cases in which trees seem to have separated discordant shouts and noises and given back echoes in musical tones. "In every case," he says, "the source of the sound—waves on a beach, roar or a river, exhaust of motor boat or discordant human voices—was one in which many pitches were present. Something in the surroundings, usually trees, must have separated the sounds according to pitch, placing those of one pitch in one place and those of another pitch elsewhere. In this respect the phenomenon appears analogous to that of white light being broken up into pure spectral colors by a prism." This reflection of absorption of sound waves of different pitches, Doctor Forbes explains, is only rarely observed. Sometimes the phenomenon is distinct and clear in one spot, yet a few paces backward or forward only the ordinary noises are heard. The frequent association of trees with these musical echoes is thought to be due to the lack of uniformity they present as a reflecting surface for the sounds. Each tree apparently sends back part of the sound, and this reflection is boken up into innumerable parts on account of the varying element of distance. He was a clean-cut, wilde-awake young chap and he wanted a job. "I have nothing at present," said the corporation manager, "but leave your name and if anything turns up you will be notified." "May I ask if you have made the same promise to many others," said the applicant. "Yes, quite a few," was the reply. The boy grinned and remarking that it was no monopoly he went out. A few days later a young man was needed in a hurry and seven telegrams were dispatched to seven waiting applicants. Hardly had these left the secretary's office when in walked Johnny on the Spot, holding his telegram. "How in the world did you get it?" gasped the executive. "Well, sir," he answered, "the other day as I was going out I stopped and got a job as errand boy. I thought it would be a good plan to be where I could get the news quicker than the others." "You'll do!" said the manager.—Boston Transcript. Observant Japanese Lady A Japanese woman has given to a newspaper her reasons for always applying the feminine gender to ships, motors, trains, etc.: "Yes, they call she' for many because: They wear jackets with yokes, pins, hangers, straps, shields, stays. They have apron, also cap. They have not only shoes but have pumps. Also hose and drag train behind; behind time all time. They attract men with puffs and mufflers. Some time they foam—refuse to work when at such time they should be switched. They need guiding—it always require man manager. They require man to feed them. When abuse are given they quickly make scrap. They are steadier when coupled up, but my cousin say they h—ll of expense." Franklin Set Style When Eighteenth-century Paris was still wearing the picturesque three-cornered hat Benjamin Franklin came to represent the new republic of the United States, wearing on his head a queer thing derived from the steepe crown of the Puritan Pilgrim fathers. Paris copied it and turned it into the cylinder which Christendom has worn ever since, says the Detroit News. In the Eighteenth century when partisans of France and of Russia were fighting it out in Sweden the French faction wore hats, the Russians caps. The Middle ages, as a familiar ballad reminds us, knew a Pilgrim by his "cockle hat." Lamb's Merry Jest One of Lamb's jobs on the Morning Post was to supply half a dozen jokes a day, for which Dan Stuart paid him 6 pence each, and held him well paid. Six fresh-baked jests a day is a tall order. The fashion of flesh-colored stockings for the women proved a tolerable help in time of trouble, and Lamb boasts justifiably of his masterpiece, inspired by pink stockings. He wrote that "Modesty, taking her final leave of mortals, her last blush was visible in her ascent to the heavens by the tract of the glowing inatep."—Manchester Guardian. "Little Rock" The principal city of Arkansas derived its name (originally "Le Petit Roche" and "The Little Rock") from the rocky peninsula in the Arkansas, distinguished from the "Big Rock," the site of the army post, Fort Logan H. Roots, one mile west of the city. The big rock is said to have been first discovered and named "Le Rocher Francais" in 1822 by Sigur Bernard de la Harpe, who was in search of an emerald mountain; the little rock is now used as an abutment for a railway bridge.

Major's Man Knew How The major acquired a body servant named Garvino while we were soaking up malaria in the hills back of Santiago. One day the major was stung by a large scorpion-stung through his leather legging at that. Major Latimer was probably one of the world's greatest technicians in the art of profanity. He tore loose with his entire vocabulary when the virus of the scorpion made itself felt. Then he concluded he was going to die, as many other scorpion stingees had. Garvino dug around till he found another scorpion. He broke the critter in two, tore off the major's legging, rolled up his pants, and drawers and applied the raw end of half the broken scorpion to the spot on the major's leg where the sting had entered, writes Leo P. Cook in Adventure Magazine. The pain ceased immediately and the major felt no further discomfort. Thereafter we knew how to treat a scorpion sting. This may be old stuff. Another little trick of Garvin was to catch a scorpion, hold it by the head from beneath with thumb and finger, and with his other hand tear out the muscle that actuated the scorpion's sting. You know the scorpion must flip his tail up over his head to strike. After Garvin had performed this operation the scorpion was helpless to sting, though his locomotion was not interfered with. Writing on Pinhead No Longer Novelty Wandering about town one might get the idea that America had developed a new industry—that of engraving the Lord's prayer on pinheads. The impression is strengthened if one takes to visiting the regions in which sideshows flourish, near town or along the rustic routes of the traveling shows. Considering that the man who engraved the prayer on a pin a few years ago was reported to have gone blind and insane as a result of his three years of application, one might almost pause to ask if all this pin engraving were not dangerous. There is no fear, however; the engraved pin business has been placed on a safe and sane basis, remarks the New York Times. The original pin was all that has been said for it. On a disk forty-seven one-thousandths of an inch in diameter there were engraved 63 words with 254 letters, and nearly 2,000 lines had to be cut in doing it. The original might conceivably have got lost in a sewing basket and gone the way of all pins. But a die was made of it—no inconsiderable job in itself—and the market is now supplied from the die. Legend of Pontius Pilate Legend of Pontius Pilate Among the Swiss Alps is a mountain named after Pontius Pilate. Country people say that it is haunted by Pilate's ghost. According to legendary lore it appears that after the Crucifixion Pontius Pilate fell from imperial favor and killed himself in prison, whereupon his body was cast into the Tiber, which immediately rose and almost burst its banks. The body was taken to a lonely pool at the top of the mountain which now bears its name near Lucerne. According to another version Pilate retired there during his lifetime and was thrown into the pool by the Wandering Jaw. In any case his presence caused terrible trouble, anysanches and floods devastating the district amid a thunderous noise in the recesses of the mountains. In the Sixteenth century the ghost was finally said, and a procession went up every year, headed by the vicar of Lucerne, to cast stones into the pool. Creatures That Laugh Creatures That Laugh Human beings are not the only creatures that have a sense of humor. Some animals have a keener sense of humor than some human beings. The hyena laughs, many dogs laugh, and most monkeys laugh. A sense of fun is not a human monopoly. C. B. BECK 1933 HON. JOSEPH F. HAAS Republican candidate for ree County.

GASTON, FAMOUS FOE OF CIGARET, DEAD not neglect any opportunity to put her propaganda to grown men and On Deathbed Urges the Fight Be Kept Up Miss Lucy Page Gaston of anticigarette fame, died Wednesday in the Hinsdale sanitarium. Cancer of the throat was given as the direct cause of death and an injury sustained in a street car accident last January was said to be a contributing cause. For 25 years Miss Gaston has been conducting a campaign against the smoking of cigarettes as well as being an ardent advocate of prohibition and woman suffrage. On her deathbed she is said to have requested that the work be carried on and that the fight against cigarettes be unrelenting until they are prohibited by a national law. Educated in Chicago Miss Gaston was born in Delaware, O., in 1860, and was educated at the Normal school here and made her home during most of the last 40 years in Chicago and Harvey, Ill. For a time she lived in Kansas, directing the activities of the cigaret foes there. As the organizer and superintendent of the National Anti-Cigaret League Miss Gaston and her endeavors have been known throughout the country for many years. She carried on the crusade through publications of which she was editor, in lobbying before state legislatures, city councils, and even in the national congress. Her chief aim was in seeking to prevent smoking by boys, but she did 466 4.66 HON. WILLIAM J.

She wrote to the late President Warren G. Harding that he was setting a bad example by his smoking of cigarettes and requesting that he stop. She received a letter in reply commending her zeal, but evading the pledge to quit. It was mainly through her efforts that a law was passed in Illinois prohibiting minors from smoking. She set out to enforce this law and was deputized by Chief of Police McWeeney, whereupon she arrested several boys of 16 when she saw them with a "coffin nail," as she termed the cigarette. When the war came on and the sending of cigarettes to the soldiers became the thing to do, Miss Gaston was almost alone in her opposition, but she nevertheless remained in opposition. Then, in recent years, when it became not only permissible, but really proper for women to smoke cigarettes in public, she receded not a bit from her position, but only redoubled her protests. Names Her Successor To the end she was an uncompromising foe of the cigaret and now her followers intend that her name shall still be connected with the work she started. G. Henri DeRonche, the executive secretary of the Clean Life movement originated by Miss Gaston, was selected by her to take up her burden. He announced the decision to start the Lucy Pape Gaston Memorial fund. ```markdown ``` section as one of the Trustees of Mago, and his vast army of friends and county will assist to pull him number. THE BROAD AX. CHICAGO. ILLINOIS. AUGUST 23; 1924 LABOR LEADERS ASSURE G. O P. THEIR SUPPORT Many Won't Follow Gompers to La Follette* Labor has not been delivered bag and baggage to the La Follette Wheeler insurgent ticket. The "bobcat" crowd may have taken over the Socialist party and received the indorsement of some of the labor chiefs and their organizations, including the veteran Samuel Compers, but there are many labor leaders who protest against attempts to deliver their movement bodily to La Follette. Butler Holds Parley Such, perhaps, is the shortest summary that can be made of reports made to William M. Butler, chairman of the Republican national committee, by a group of labor leaders who conferred with the G. O. P. chief at headquarters yesterday. The meeting concluded a series of conferences Mr. Butler had with labor leaders. Some of the men who attended the conference were: Dan G. Smith, Chicago, former general chairman of the Rock Island lines switchmen; J. R. Neal, Baltimore, International Typographical Union; J. A. Madsen, Portland, Ore., Longshoremen's Union; George F. Freitas, Sandusky, O., Tugmen's Protective Association; Charles J. Grady, West Orange, N. J., Allied Printing Trades Council; Joseph P. Ryan, New York, International Longshoremen's Association; Lawrence T. Henry, New York, Longshoremen's Union; T. B. Healey, New York, marine engineers; W. J. Reinhardt, Carlstadt, N. J. machinists; George Dolan, Chicago, stationery engineers; E. M. Foley, Chicago, president, International Dredgemen's Union; J. J. O'Connor, Chicago, secretary-treasurer, Brotherhood of Freight Handlers, and J. J. Fannan, Chicago, former vice president of the International Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes. He Is Highly Pleased There was no "blah" about the conference, and the only statement Mr. Butler had to make about it was this: "These gentlemen were good enough to come here, because they feel that labor has many problems in this campaign affecting its self-respect and its continued influence with the general body of American citizens. I have been highly gratified at the sentiments they expressed." T. V. O'Connor, chairman of the United States Shipping Board, who has carried a union card for years, attended the conference. What Labor Has Learned "Labor has found from painful experience that it cannot force a man by law, or any other means, to open his place of business and maintain a pay roll," he said. "The employer can be scared out of business and he can be taxed out of existence by the legislation which La Follette proposes in his political platform. Labor must always do its own thinking, and when you chose your leaders you gave them great powers, but did not give them the right to deliver your vote." In reciting a list of Calvin Coolidge's acts in behalf of labor, Mr. O'Connor said his signing of the "forty-eight hour week" bill for women when he was governor of Massachusetts was one of the most important things he had done. GOVERNOR'S DAY MARKS NEW ERA AT CAMP GRANT Camp Grant, Ill.—Gov. Len Small's visit to Camp Grant yesterday—governor's day—marked the beginning of real, determined effort to make this training camp the best in the United States. Improvement work that has already been done with funds appropriated by the state legislature after the camp was taken over by the state, have laid the foundation for achieving that objective now. Gov. Small's visit marked the tentative mapping out of the future building program and the methods of developing the property. He arrived in Rockford early Friday morning. There was a review of the 33rd Division units in his honor at 11:30 o'clock in the morning. After the review Gov. Small, accompanied by Maj. Gen. Milton J. Foreman, commanding the 33rd Division, and an ardent protagonist for a great Camp Grant, and Adjt. Gen. Carlos E. Black made a tour of inspection of the entire camp area. On that inspection trip the three discussed the future methods of conducting the camp and the future building program will make it the best training center in the United States. In addition to the program of procedure and building, their discussions dealt with the leasing of additional ground to give Camp Grant the only thing it lacks to make it a perfect troop training camp—an adequate rifle range. Phila, Pa.—Dr. Wm. H. Crogman, former president of Clark University, Atlanta, Ga., and for 45 years a teacher in that institution, is near death at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Charlotte C. Wright, wife of Dr. R. R. Wright Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder, this city. Dr. Crogman retired two years ago from active service from Clark University and for his distinguished work in the field of education was given a Carnegie pension for school teachers, being the first colored man to receive such recognition. His condition became serious about ten days ago when his children were summoned to his bedside. Miss Ada Crogman, one of the National organizers of Community Service, Chicago, Dr. Leon Crogman of Lorain, Ohio, President and Mrs. R. N. Brooks of Samuel Houston College, Austin, Texas, with Mrs. Crogman his wife and Mrs. Wright have been constantly at his bedside. Many distinguished visitors have come to Philadelphia to talk with Dr. Crogman before his death, among whom are Dr. Pezavia O'Connell of Morgan College, Dr. J. W. E. Bowen of Gammon Theological Seminary, Dr. Frank Grimke, of Washington, Mr. C. E. Franklin, editor of the Kansas City Call, and others. Dr. Crogman was born in St. Martins, British West Indies, May 5, 1841, and is in his 84th year. He graduated from Atlanta University in 1876. He received the degrees of A. B. and A. M. from Atlanta University, and Litt. D. and LL.D., from Clark University. He was professor of Latin and Greek from 1876 to 1921. He was a member of the American Philological Assn., American Geographical Society, the University Senate of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and was a member of several General Conferences of the same. He is the author of "Talks of the Time," "History of the Negro Race" and many other works. He is one of the few members of the race listed in "Who's Who in America." FIND 50 WHITES SEMI-SLAVES OF NEGRO CHEFTIAW London.—A group of white settlers isolated for nearly fifty years from other white persons, is living in a state of servitude under the protection of a Negro King in the Hinterland of the Great Kalahari desert in Africa, according to a dispatch from Cape Town to the Daily Express. The whites were discovered by a South African government expedition. About 100 miles in the interior of the desert at Molopole the government expedition was met by natives and taken before Sebele, the principal chief of the district. He spoke English fluently, was well educated and wore European clothes, as did his wife. Near Sebele's kral officials of the expedition discovered about fifty white men and women whose relation to the native villagers was something similar to slavery, although there was no indication that the whites were ill-treated. Sebele explained that these persons were servants who performed menial tasks for the Negroes and tilled land belonging to their masters. They are paid with small measures of grain. As an inferior, helpless group the whites are not permitted to own land and are denied all privileges of native citizenship.

She was much pleased with her first visit to Chicago. HAMPTON INSTITUTE SUMMER SCHOOL PASSES 1,000 MARK Nineteen States are Represented by 1,017 Forward-looking, Ambitious Colored Teachers—North Carolina Leads Virginia in Total Enrollment Hampton, Va.,—Dr. George P. Phenix, vice-principal of Hampton Institute, who is also director of the summer session, states that 1,017 colored teachers from 19 States have attended the two sessions of the Summer School. Several hundred have had to be turned away on account of the lack of dormitory accommodations. The enrollment for the first half numbered 701 teachers including 266 teachers from Virginia, 225 from North Carolina, 54 from Maryland, 43 from South Carolina, and ten or more from Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee. The enrollment of 316 in the second session, which will close on August 29, includes 81 from Virginia and 141 from North Carolina. Virginia has furnished 45 teachers out of the total of 149 who have remained for the entire session of 12 weeks, while North Carolina has supplied 67 teachers. There were over 100 courses offered during the first session by a staff of 48 instructors. Forty courses were offered during the second session, by a staff of 14 instructors. To meet the needs of those working toward the bachelor's degree five new courses were offered after the school was organized. Texas furnished 3 teachers for the first and 1 for the second session. New Jersey and Ohio furnished one each. The total banner enrollment went to North Carolina with 366 Virginia came second with 347 teachers. Maryland followed with 76 and South Carolina won fourth place with 59. North Carolina, with a total enrollment of 366, headed the list of States. Virginia came second with a total of 347 teachers. This summer session for colored teachers is conducted under the joint auspices of the Virginia State Board of Education, Harris Hart Superintendent, and Hampton Institute, Dr. James E. Gregg, principal.

Ladner, potentate of Lu Lu Temple, speaking to 500 crippled children in the children's seashore house here. "I represent an organization in Philadelphia of 10,000 men, who have dedicated their lives to helping such as you," he said. Ten hospitals built by Shriners all over the country are to be used for the cause. WHITE ODD FELLOWS' LODGE HAS ONE RACE MEMBER Sioux Falls, S.

STUMP SETS FORTH HIS VIEWS ON THE MEETING OF THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. I hear them sing sometimes, "We Are Goin' to Shout All Over God's Heaven," but bless your soul, honey, I am doing my shouting right down here in Chicago, and I don't know as I have ever been so happy since I have been in the world, and it is all because I am attending the 25th annual session of the National Negro Business League, that which came from the wonderful mind and brain of the late Booker T. Washington, and all the speakers have been loud in singing his praises. I have not been able to do any speaking, for they have not called on me to do that, but they could not prevent me from shouting. I commence shouting Monday, and put it down that I told you as The Broad Ax goes to press, here is one man that is still shouting and doth not yet appear just when I will stop. If there is such things as spirits hovering over people, and directing them, that is just what the spirit of Booker T. Washington is doing right now. It has been in all the management of the affairs of the National Negro Business League from the time it was invited to celebrate the silver jubilee in this city until now. Wonderful is the success of this meeting. Since I have been a member of this race of yours, I have never seen so many doctors, lawyers, bankers, insurance men, merchants, college presidents and professors, and just more teachers, mechanics—automobile car carriage salesmen, manufacturers, operators of taxi companies—well. I just can't tell you all the men they have here and all of them belong to this race, and they come together to inspire each other and to make their contributions to the future of the race. It means more business, better business, and business business. Dr. Booker T. Washington did not realize what he was doing twenty-five years ago, when he called together that handful of men in Boston and organized this League, but men in business have multiplied, and they will continue to multiply, for out of it has evolved a financial organization which is far reaching. I would pay my respects to the men of Chicago who have put things over. The insurance men met on Monday and they were followed by the bankers, the lawyers, the undertakers, the men who plant you when you croak, the men who cover all the mistakes of the physicians, and while the doctors meet in another place, their protectors are right here to do their part, and I congratulate them on this. Now in that insurance business, I had the pleasure of seeing America's insurance wizard, C. C. Spaulding, of Durham, president of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company—a company of age, of wealth, of business. It is a concern that has reached its million dollar business and then some. It represents the wonderful growth and progress of this race of ours, and right by his side has been one of the most remarkable men of the age, J. M. Avery, of Durham, North Carolina, who is vice-president of that same company. He is a genius when it comes to business and managing affairs, and I would to God that we had just a few more like him in this country. God bless and keep this wonderful man of our race. While he is a member of your race, yet his business ability has absolutely nothing to do with race or color. He knows the game and is playing it well. Now I must take off my hat, and I feel like taking off the whole head to our own remarkable banker, Jesse Binga, the man who introduced banking among my people in Chicago, and whose wonderful ability has won for him a place in this world. God bless him. He was the leading spirit in the big reception and banquet which was given to the officers of the National League Tuesday night at the Vincennes hotel, and was one of the finest affairs I have ever seen since I have been tramping the mundane shores. Kings and queens never had a finer affair in this world, and I am sure that they will not have anything to surpass it in the world to come. The hotel people did do their stunt and did do it well, and I shall never forget them. District Grand Master Kersey, of the Odd Fellows of Illinois, took an important part at this remarkable feat. He is what they called a toastmaster, and instead of him toasting bread or something like that, he just called on those who were to speak, and he made a few scattering remarks himself. I am not going to attempt to tell you all them speakers, for I saw Editor Taylor at all these affairs, and he is some more writing man. I am sure that his paper will tell you all about it. We are all going to read The Broad Ax this week, to see what took place. It will be there. It looked to me like I was just going to eat my fool brains out. I am not used to these big banquets, and I just watched other people and whatever I saw them do I would do myself. Thank the Lord for example. Wednesday morning, about 11 o'clock the National Negro Business League was called to order by Editor Robert S. Abbott, who is chairman of the business organization in Chicago, and he made a wonderful presiding elder. I do not mean presiding elder, but presiding officer. He knows how to preside. When he had made his remarkable remarks, and J. Wesley Jones raised his baton and that chair of I don't know how many voices, opened their mouths singing "America," you would have thought that the roof was being lifted from the Wendell Phillips high school building. It was wonderful. Then followed the opening prayer by a bishop. He was on familiar terms with God and he knew that God wanted the heart sentiment and not grammar or dictionary, so as the words came from his lips, not in any particular order, they just went right on home to God in heaven. I listened with much interest to the words of welcome, and they were some words. The Lord knows how I enjoyed them. They were some speeches, believe me, honey. I just listened and now and then would shout out "Amen." After these addresses were all over then I heard the responses made by men who know how to respond. Banker Roddy from Memphis, made one response, and the other was made by Hon. Perry W. Howard, of Washington, D. C., who is assisting the attorney general in looking after the legal side of the United States. I am sure you know that fine lawyer, and he knows you. After this was all over, then Editor Abbott took us to Brazil, carried us on a trip down the Amazon, paid a tribute to Booker T. Washington, and then presented Hon. A. H. Roberts, of Illinois State Senate, who made one more speech and concluded by introducing or presenting the man of the hour, the man of wonderful ability, the man who is doing things, and whose life is being spent for his people—Dr. Robert R. Moton, the sage of Tuskegee, the direct successor to Booker T. Washington, in the League and in the Institute. I do not know that I should talk about Dr. Moton, for he is known to every man, woman, boy and girl in this country, saying nothing about color or race, and then like Dr. Washington he is known in Europe and everywhere else where civilized man is to be found. He is the well known man of our group. Now you will have to tell me what this group business means, but I have heard it used so much that I am just putting it in my self. He made his remarks short, but he made a wonderful speech Wednesday night and I am told that it will be in the paper this week. Now they gave Dr. Moton, what you call an ovation, and that is putting it mildly. It was great, and when it was over and he had made his remarks, he then called on one of the pioneers, one who was in the organization of the league, an educator and a young man—Dr. James E. Shepard, of Durham, N. C., who is a college president, who is grand master of masons and who is a representative of the whole race. He is a wonderful speaker and personality that will attract attention. He was eloquent in telling about the early days of the National Nebro Business League, and he was followed by Hon. Engene P. Booze, of Mound Bayou, who made the trip to the first meeting with his father-in-law, Hon. I. T. Montgomery. His main object in going with that race man, was to ask for his daughter. I will not be able to tell you all the good things he said, but he spoke. I heard many others that same morning, and when I had listened to them I just took a little snooze, and when I woke up it was over for that session. I wish I could tell you all the great men I touched. There were Hon. Berry O'Kelly and his wife from North Carolina. He is the postmaster of Method, N. C., but I have just told you about him. I had the pleasure of coming in touch with Prof. N. W. Collier, my friend from Florida, and with him Dr. H. W. James, of Jacksonville, and that remarkable business genius of the race, Chas. H. Anderson, the fish man from Jacksonville, Florida. The next man was Robert Williams from Suffolk, Virginia, who is a ham man. He cures and places on the markets some of the best hams in America and if you get one once you will want more. He came to the National Negro Business League, and he is a busy man here. Among the men who are helping to shape the youth of this country and inspire them to do things I noticed Prof. N. B. Young, of Lincoln University, Jefferson City, Mo.; Prof. Joseph S. Clark, president, Southern University, Baton Rouge, La., and the new college president, Prof. J. R. E. Lee of New York, who has just accepted the presidency of the state school of Florida, and who is going to put things over. Prof. Collier is another, and there were men from other institutions. This is one of the greatest meetings ever held in Chicago by my people, and I shall never forget it. I have mentioned all for I am just now thinking of Prof. W. H. Holtzclaw from Mississippi and President John Hope of Morehouse college, Atlanta, Ga., and there are still others. Major Allen Washington, of Hampton Institute, Bishops A. L. Gaines of the A. M. E. Church; B. W. Shaw and W. Walls, of the A. M. E. Zion church; Bishop Denby of the Episcopal church. There were preachers of all sizes and grades. This will step into history as a great spirational meeting to the whole race, and as Chicago touched the business and professional men of this race, it has been moved. Look out for the future. I wish I could just tell you all I have in mind this week and if I should try it would take the whole paper and then some. Take good care of yourself, and let me hear from you when you can do so. CHARLES E. STUMP MRS. STOKES HERE Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes, a representative of Virginia to the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, and who has remained over to the meeting of the National Negro Business League, is spending a pleasant stay in the city as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Fischer, 3110 Rhodes avenue. BACK FROM KANSAS Mrs. Mary E. Johnson, 11342 S. Elizabeth St., Morgan Park, in company with her sister and niece, has returned to the city from Fort Scott Kans, where they went to attend the burial of an aunt, Mrs. Fannie Funkhouser, who passed away in Pasadena Cal, first part of last week. MOTOR TO EVANSTON Six automobiles of members of the Woman State Standard Republican Club motored to Evanston, Ill., to witness the notification of Hon. Chas. G. Dawes, vice-president nominee of the United States, on Tuesday. Among there were Mesdames Blanche L. Gilmere, Precie J. Nooo, Susie Myers, Ella G. Barry and Lou Ella Young. GEORGIA STOPS MARRIAGE MILL TO OVERHAIL IT Newlyweds May Not Be Really Wed Atlanta, Ga.—Couples who have been wed in Georgia under licenses issued after Aug. 18 may again have to go through the ceremonies unless a more liberal interpretation is placed on the recently revised marriage law requiring the posting of applications five days before licenses are issued. This was the situation created today when Secretary of State S. G. McLendon and Assistant Attorney General T. R. Gress ruled that marriages contracted in the period between Aug. 18 and 23 necessarily must be illegal and void because no provision yet has been made to enforce the new law. Gives Honeymooners a Worry The new act passed at the recent session of the state legislature contained no fixed date on which it was to be effective. It is held, therefore, that the governor's signature, attached Aug. 18, puts it immediately in force. Yet until enforcement machinery is put in motion in the various counties there can be no legal marriages, according to the official rulings. Meanwhile not only are couples married under licenses issued this week in an anxious quandry as to their status under the law, but prospective brides and bridegrooms are being turned away by puzzled ordinaries. Six Couples Disappointed Six couples applied to the Fulton county ordinary here today for licenses but all the progress they could make was to leave their application on file. Those contemplating matrimony were advised by Secretary of State McLendon to postpone their wedding dates until the law can be made fully operative. 104 Member of the Board of Assessors of Cook Co of the most popular Republican business ticians in this-neck of the woods, who w to his present position in November. the Board of Assessors of Cook Court most popular Republican business this neck of the woods, who willent position in November.

To Dress-and Look Cool . 9m Sultry Summer Days Life’ nowadays ts altogether too niueb fussed-up. We all udmit it. But you ‘have—no.idea ‘how,. taking. your courage in hand, you can pull.off-the silly old outer coverings, and get at something tolerably simple. “Just for one example, observes a writer in the ‘Women's Home Companion: If your ‘hair Is hot and heary on your head and hard-to keep fn order, cut some of it out. Don't be afraid. "Maybe your Tmsband does sdmire tt. He doem’t ave to take care of It. ‘The first thing to do if you have Jong heavy hair is to shorten it. What's the use of carrying around a lot of old hatr, anyway? It just wads up In ‘@ bunch on your head and acts like a warming pan. But if your hair grows thickly, 90 your head, shortening doesn't cool you off very much. My ‘suggestion then is that you have some ‘one thin It out for you carefully, much -as you'd thin out the carrot row in the early summer. Cut small pleces out close to the scalp in several. places, detng careful to take it from under- neath where the cut-out regions will be well concealed by your colffure, Don't cut the hair that grows low ‘on the neck. Delightfully refreshing for hot weather, too, are the scented hair 1o- tions which have all the cooling vir- tues of tollet water but are espectally adapted for the halr. A few drops on your sealp around the edges of the ‘hair seem to take away that hot, damp feeling. Baths are one thing that you can’t very well cut down in hot weather. But any day, you know, you can save enough puttering or worry thme for one good bath. And what a boon a bathtub is in hot weather—a bathtub filled without skimping, and smelling Uke a lemon meringue all on account of a handful of verveine bath salts. Failing a tub, however, one can still de cool. A hand basin of water, an ordinary wash cloth, and a spoonful of tollet water makes a sponge bath that takes off several degrees of.heat. And Just an ordinary air bath, sans clothes, is a wonderful freshener, It's a very good thing, especially. in summer, to remove your clothes for « little while each day, and let your pores get a nnd Mie belenieaioie. Lace Mitts Take Place in Fashions of Summer Like. remnant of finery from the of olden times are the pretty inoeits thet have suddenly become ‘the last word in summer styles. Of course, old ladies have always worn mitts, and the more conservittive shops haye-continued to humor their fancy and retain thelr patronage. But the revival of mitts had a definite starting polut io an English wedding at which the bride wore long mitts of exquisite white lace and the bridesmaids shorter mitts of silk in an open lace pattern, of,@ delicate shade of maize, match- ing their gowns. ‘This summery suggestion has been Geet wedge Io fashionable ace cent to fashionable soctety this side of the water, the mitts being ‘usually of elbow length and always matching the costume. They are ‘shown in many lovely shades, in stripes and other openwork patterns; in plain colors of glove silk, black or white, and some are stitched with bright con- trasts.

Red Much in Favor Use Combinations to Get New Ideas Materials Considered Out of Fashion Picture Are Given Tryout. | ‘The newest prank of fashion, writes ‘an authority, 1s to use combinations ‘which are more or less considered out ‘of season or are very unusual. For ‘instance, black satin was used for an afternoon frock where organdie and summer ermine shared the trimming honors. The organdie was white and embroidered. It formed a deep hem effect on the skirt. ‘The edges of the organdie were scalloped and the scal- lops were appliqued to the fur. Al ‘though the combination sounds curl- ous, the effect was nevertheless most charming. ‘The vogue of the tunic overblouse Is delng enthusiastically adapted by 9 great number of women as the most logical solution to the blouse and skirt problem.

That, says a fashion writer in the New York Times, was before the days when silk petticoats, silk frocks and stockings became as com- mon as they had once been rare, and before people of a sturdier standard and those of lighter type had been harmonized by cosmopolitan fashions. ‘This popular notion has since swept French end American styles to a stm- flar conclusion, which is that muslin frocks belong to Americans, and that they are out of date, their crisp frillt- ness dimmed by the luster of French silk and tissues. ‘The muslin frock in all its sheer freshness and its many variants has been for generations the American woman's charming own, dainty, co- quettish, eternally feminine; and many ‘4 woman of fashion of the older regime has regretted that her granddaughter could not know the pleasure of dress- tng in flowered “French” organdle, dot- ted swiss, book muslin, or the smooth, cool linen lawns. They were the ac cepted summer dress, as much for town as for country wear, ‘The muslin frock disappeared with the muslin girl. Athletics, the motor car, sports, life in the open. made de- mand for simpler lines, more substan- tial fabrics aud much of the homespun idea for day wear. Once the new sil- houette was established, the picture changed, and the muslin girl became the tailored girl, manish, severe, dash- Ing, “top style” for the vigorous day, and the chiffon girl for the evening. Flannels, twills, heavy linens and loose-woven silks, treated much as the tailor employs stuffs for men's weer, have been for « dozen years the proper thing for informal oceasions, while for Gressy times all the newest ‘weaves in starchless volles, crepes, chiffons, mar quinettes, stiks, satins and brocades were required. The ruffled muslin passed with the erinoline, the floppy leghorn, lace mitts and long curls. The new version is a picture of slim body, Athletic limb, curveless bodice and classic draperies. ‘The Ameriean vision was lost and the Parisian pattern was copied to all of the extremes, with many extrava gant indulgences in exotic phases of foreign infiuence. All of the effect ot ‘satiety bas been experienced within s ‘season, and gradpally but unmistake- biy the quaint styles in dress’ and ac ‘cessories have been coming into view Costume affatrs in fashlonable society ‘and exhibitions of artistie costuming in studios and in the theater have re called to the older and shown to the younger generation the beauty, the ro ‘mance and the tradition in dress char acteristic of ourselves, antl couturlere have been alert in responding to the suggestion. Winsome New Materials. No season within merchants’ mem ‘ory has brought out a greater number of original styles in new materials ‘The woman who is able to gratify he: desire in this summer's wardrobe ha: & bew!ldering collection trom which t choose. Simplicity more simple thar ‘ever before Is the keynote, especially in the handsomest evening gowns seer ‘at amart affairs on the other side, th conspicuous attraction being in th ‘goods of the dress.

These are built for the most pert on incomplex plans, though the latest importations illustrate many new features, indicating quite plainly the direction in which the fashion tide will set at the opening of the coming season. ‘The printed crepes and silks are very modish in the straight tunic over @ close skirt of contrasting color, or outlined with a band of plain goods ‘This model, for which the woman of the slender silhouette has a passion, is particularly bappy when done in the silks of bold pattern, notably the con- ventional palm leaf and the other de signa that are among this year’s now elties. In the draped modéis there is a fol- lowing of whims and moods, with the ‘fullness drawn forward to the front, to be caught directly in the middie front, hanging lower than the hem of the gown, and with flounces, straight or circular; godets, scarf draperies, sashes, girdles and plaited or flaring skirts, Apparently several styles, great- ly diversified, are being presented, as if to sense in advance the popular cholce and establish a mode. All of these and other designs are attractively shown in models of much originality and ‘style, demonstrating the values of the new msterials. For ‘the one-piece or tunic frock for morn- img and all-day ntility the eponge in cotton or silk of a mixtuce, made in checks, stripes and ‘plain goods, ts a novelty that has taken rather strongly. Ratine, in silk, cotton or silk and wool, is another new weave, rough in Ginish, loosely woven and smart, espe- cally when it is made into a sports or beach trek. Rich Formal Gowns. In the more formal gowns the em- broidered silks and flat crepes, em- broidered solid, are exceedingly hand- some, and are so costly that one such creation in a wardrobe is cherisbed and reserved for gala occasions. Ben- galine, all silk, or silk and wool, is an- other revival of an old-time favorite, of which some stunning French models are built, with simplicity of lines, soft, scant drapery and a splash, a band or motif of colorful needlework. These are charming in the gentle shades, beige, maize, gray, powder blue, against which the erewis so much used In peas- ant embroidery make a striking note. ‘Reverting to the sheer frock, the up- to-date version of the organdie, there are new volles of gossamer lightness, on which are printed the most enchant- ing patterns of flowers, butterflies, birds and many another fantasy. These have something of the sheer beauty of organdie but lack stiffness and may be beautifully draped or flounced, though the elaborate designs are shown to best advantage when they are gathered or slightly draped. ‘The qualifying appellation of “chif- fon” Is attached to many of the latest types of thin dress goods. There are chiffon voile, crepe chiffon, chiffon cloth and chiffon. Some are printed in delicate, beautifully colored patterns; some are plain or shaded in rainbow ‘tints or gradations of one color, Flock dot muslin is really a dotted swiss, woven in many “wash colors,” and the English prints are the real ‘Bovelty of the year.

Fashion in Paris Bright Colors Feature of In- teresting Dress Mate tials Now Worn. Printed crepes of every type imagin- able are being worn in Paris. A sim- ple crepe de chine frock set forth in several shades of green and gray on & darker green ground Is popular for summer wear. The whole garment Is very plain and semi-taflored, a one- plece frock with a narrow belt of leather. The bodice opens at the front to form a shallow, tailored colar turn- ing back from the V-shaped decol- letage. Ball buttons in antique silver give a touch of elegance to the mod- est little garment. The clasp on the leather belt is likewise of wrought sil- ver to match. The band trimming on the bodice, sleeves and skirt is of plain green crepe.

Hose and Shoes Must Be Smart to Match Skirts ‘Skirts are shorter thanv¥ever in Paris, according to a fashion authority recently returned, and woe to the woman who does not give eareful con- sideration to her feet and ankles, for they cannot be camouflaged. “There never was a time when shoes and hosiery were so Important as they are now,” the same authority declared. “Long ago, when our grandmothers wore white and pale-colored hose, thelr skirts were long. When the short ‘skirts first came into vogue the hose were black or dark brown to match the shoes. Now the skirts are at least ten inches from the ground and the stockings are in shades of beige or nude or gray. ‘They are very smart, but very consplenous. “The new fall-fashioned silk and fiber hose are very satistactory for summer dresses. They fit the an- kles and are shimmery and pretty. ‘Care must be taken to wear the right Kind of shoes with each gown. The trim-taflored shoes: a woman wears with her serge frock are impossible with her patent leather or satin or thin kid shoes with high heels. “It 1s careful attention to these de- tails that makes a woman look smart and it is much more important to have ‘one’s clothes smart than becoming. ‘Tt is not always possible to be both, and the wise woman chooses to be smart.” Imitation Jewelry Is Attractive in Her Hair ‘The fad for imitation jewelry is re- flected in the beautiful ornaments for the hair, in girdles and motifs de- signed te be worn with the latest mod- els In evening dress in the coming months, ‘They are made of net, stad- ded closely with rhinestones, pearls or colored stones. Some of the bandeaux are so wide as almost to cover the hair; they are brilliantly jeweled, matching sparkling eyes, and are ar tistic, after an oriental type. Girdles, ornaments, long-fringed tay sels and motifs for applique are all of this kind and are much worn. The Intest combs are lovely. The antique combs of the Spanish shape that had ‘such a vogue during the winter, tvory ‘and shell especially, are less seen now than the smaller shapes set with stones. ‘The rhinestone combs are far che most popular, and the low wide sort is quite the newest. These combs have an appeal for women whe still have thelr tresses attached. For the one with bobbed looks there are the pret- test finttering slender fillets, as well as the wide swathing bandeaux. | ————————— ~ Gates Long in Building ‘The huge gates of Henry VII's chapa Se Westasiener. shies a0 seiortt Dave taken 18 to make. ‘Cut out this Subscription Blank and Mail it to THE BROAD AX $1.00 FOR 6 MONTHS 6206 S.
