THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, NOVEMBER 8, 1924 The Elected President Millions of Votes Political Landslide Brigadier General President, Hon. Illinois, Hon. Chas States Senate from This Newspaper Art E. Crowe, Hon. Oscar Wolff, Hon. A. Kearns, Hon. Harry Olson, Hon. Ringer, Hon. Chas. Krutckoff, Elected to their Respective positions with Unprecedented Majorities --- Hon. Robert E. James A. Kea Chas. Ring Re-Elect Position Several months past, or from the time the great national political parties held their respective national conventions, the Republicans and the followers of Senator La Follette holding their conventions in Cleveland, Ohio, and the Democrats held forth in New York City, the great daily newspapers throughout the country set up the hue and cry that everything bore out their predictions that the fight between Hon. Calvin Coolidge, Hon. John W. Davis and Senator La Follette would be so close that neither one of them would receive a majority vote in the electoral college, and that the presidential election would be thrown into the House of Representatives; that Hon. Charles W. Bryan of Nebraska would be selected President of the United States. Millions of short-sighted people residing in all parts of this broad land honestly felt that the great daily newspapers were engaged in dealing out the right kind of dope or hog wash, but the daily newspapers were ten million miles away from arriving anywhere near the true situation and they were absolutely at sea when it came down to feeling the pulse of the American people, for on Tuesday, November 4, the great electorate in the most silent manner, with their mouths closed tight, marched to the polls in their respective communities and without making any noise they cast their votes by the millions for Coolidge and Dawes for President and for Vice-President of the United States. The great tidal wave of true Republicanism swelled and rolled all over this fair land from coast to coast and from the extreme northern region to the sunny clime of the far south. The ponderous wheels of the great Republican tidal wave rolled onward crushing down all Democratic opposition, trampling millions and millions of Democrats under its huge feet, and after the thick smoke of the memorable presidential battle of 1924 had cleared away it was very hard to locate the spot where the great host of Democracy disappeared below the political horizon never to rise again in this life. The story of the presidential campaign is so far reaching and so interesting that it is far beyond our ability to even attempt to write a true story of it at this time. It will be noted that President Coolidge has so far received 374 electoral votes as against 139 for Hon. John W. Davis, and as against 13 for Senator La Follette, President Coolidge even running away with West Virginia, the home state of Hon. John W. Davis. The following is the electoral vote received by the three contenders for President of the United States: THE WINNERS IN COOK COUN- TY AND THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF ILLINOIS The Popular Vote President Coolidge ..... 16,000,000 Davis ..... 8,500,000 La Follette ..... 4,500,000 Governor Small ..... 860,000 Jones ..... 619,000 Senator Deneen ..... 754,000 Sprague ..... 631,000 National Offices President—Calvin Coolidge, Rep.

LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGRE GATIONAL CHURCH Church Buys New Property The Lincoln Memorial Congregational Church closed the deal last week for the Martha B. Anderson residence 6450-52 Champlain avenue, the acquisition of which property gives the church control of 100 feet frontage on Champlain avenue and 125 feet on E. Sixty-fifth street. There is a two-flat frame building and a 25-foot vacant lot in the property just purchased which the church will use in building a new modern and well equipped community church within the next twelve or eighteen months. The acquisition of this property brings to partial realization a dream the pastor, the Rev. Charles Wesley Burton, has had for several years; and early in the New Year, a campaign will be launched for funds for the new church plant, which will be complete with gymnasium, showers, club rooms, social parlors, etc., as well as an artistic and beautiful auditorium, and ample facilities for religious education and social service. The McDowell Visiting Here Rev. Henry Curtis McDowell and his wife, Mrs. Bessie Fonvielle McDowell, are in the city this week as guests of the Lincoln Memorial Congregational Church and were tendered a public reception at the church Friday evening, November 7. Dr. and Mrs. McDowell are graduates of Talladega College and have just returned last spring from five years of service as missionaries in Angola, West Africa, under the American Board. They are making a tour of all the Negro Congregational Churches in the U. S. to encourage them in the work which this group of churches has undertaken in the "Dark Continent." At 11 o'clock next Sunday morning, November 9. Dr. McDowell will preach at Lincoln Memorial and Mrs. McDowell will also speak. In the evening, at 8 o'clock, there will be a great Young People's Mass Meeting held at the same place and Dr. McDowell will speak-again. The public is cordially invited to all these services.

MEDICAL SOCIETY SETS STANDARD FEE FOR EVERY SICKNESS Washington, D. C., Oct. 10.—A scale of fees has been fixed by the Medical society of the District of Columbia. Minimum fees range from $2 for a minor office consultation or a word of advice over the telephone, to $300 for certain major operations. Maximum fees for similar service range from $10 to $5,000. Charity work is permitted. The importance of the case and the responsibility attached to it are considered in placing the maximum fees. It was pointed out the scale will allow persons of moderate means to obtain the best medical skill at a cost within their reach. An example is the fee for a small-pox vaccination, where a minimum of $2 and a maximum of $25 is fixed. General visits range from $3 to $25 and the removal of an appendix may cost from $100 to $5,000. R. W. WELLS LEAVES FOR VIR- GINIA R. W.

Carthage, Mo.—A trust fund of $100,000, the interest from which is to be used by the City of Joplin for the relief of the "deserving poor of the city, without regard to race, religion or color," was left to that city by Gilbert H. Barbee, retired Joplin newspaper publisher and Democratic political leader, who died October 17. The will was filed in Probate Court here. The $100,000 at present is in government bonds. The will directs that the principal be perpetuated by reinvestments in other United States Government bonds. TAX PUBLICITY HIT IN NEW SUIT AS LAW MOCKERY Washington, D. C.—Constitutionality of the entire publicity and inspection feature of the income tax law was attacked in District of Columbia Supreme court Wednesday in a suit filed by Gorham Hubbard of Boston. Secretary Mellon and Commissioner Blair of the internal revenue bureau were named as defendants. Hubbard asked for an injunction to prevent publication of his return. He asserted congress had no power to authorize invasion of a citizen's private affairs, and contended that publicity of returns violated the fourth amendment to the constitution which assured all persons against unlawful search and seizure. FRANCE DRAWS HIGH PRICE LAW WITH BIG TEETH Paris.—Ren Renault, minister of justice, has prepared and will defend before parliament, a new law imposing rigid penalties on all merchants, hotel-keepers, and restaurants selling food products at prices above those fixed by the department of the interior. An experiment of price fixing is not intended, as the ministry of the interior will only record current prices and not try to fix them. Any merchant going above the current accepted prices, however, will be severely punished under the proposed law. 181 HON. CHARLES RINGER Re-elected member of the Board of Assessors of Cook County. Origin Questioned Editors Think It Advertising Scheme or Political Trick New Orleans, La.—(Special to The Broad Ax).—Henry E. Bolte's widely-advertised suit seeking to oust Collector Walter Cohen and attacking the validity of the Fourteenth Amendment, on which the civil rights of American Negroes depend, is receiving cold comfort from the white press of this city. The editors refuse to take it seriously and appear to regard it as either an advertising scheme or a political trick. Referring to a letter advertising Bolte's book entitled, "Why the Negro Should Not Vote," the New Orleans States says editorially: "We have not read the Bolte book. It may be great. But anyone who invests a dollar in it with the thought that he will thereby help to annul the amendments investing the Negro with the franchise will merely be whistling his money down the wind . . . he is a silly who believes there is the slightest chance for the Supreme Court now to declare these amendments invalid. There is not a chance in a million." The New Orleans Item offers another possible explanation of the mysterious suit. Calling attention to the possibility of Negroes deserting the Republican party on the Klan issue, the Item suggests that the suit may be merely a political trick to keep the colored vote in line. The editor reasons thus: "If this obscure lawyer's attack on the Negro's citizenship could be widely advertised as a perilous Democratic attempt, born of Southern hatreds, to reduce the Negro to the position of a helpless alien without civil rights of any sort, the happy process might make a lot of Negroes forget for a moment how silent Mr. Coolidge remains when the Ku Klux are mentioned. Intelligent people of both races," he concludes, "won't be impressed by the Cohen suit either way." It is considered significant that neither of these big southern dailies manifests any sympathy with the suit, or gives it any encouragement." HOLMES, M'KENNA SQON TO LEAVE SUPREME COURT Washington, D. C., Nov. 5.—Two vacancies in the Supreme court are imminent, according to a report in official circles today. It is understood that Associate Justices McKenna and Holmes have told friends that they would retire some time after the election. Chief Justice Rugg of the Massachusetts Supreme court, to whom President Coolidge offered the post of attorney general, is regarded as the most probable successor to Justice Holmes. It was also said that one of the judges on the New York Court of Appeals would be considered for the other place. SMALL PARDONS EAST ST. LOUIS RIOT PRISONERS Springfield, Ill., Nov. 5.—Executive clemency was extended eleven men who took part in the East St. Louis riots seven years ago by Gov. Small this morning. It was his first official act following assurance that he had been re-elected governor. Seven of the men pardoned were Negroes, four whites. "They were no more guilty than hundreds of others who took part in these riots," the governor said. Clemency in these cases, it was explained, merely releases the men a year earlier than if compelled to do their entire time. A statement issued at the governor's office follows: "During the last three years the people of East St. Louis and St. Clair county have made a continuous drive for executive clemency for the men both white and colored, who were convicted in the East St. Louis riot cases. "In urging executive clemency they contended that those convicted were not more guilty than hundreds of others, both white and colored, who participated in the rioting." ILLINOIS GUARD DIVISION WINS OFFICIAL PRAISE High praise for the Thirty-third division. Illinois National Guard, was received from Maj. Gen. George C. Rickards, chief of the milita bureau at Washington yesterday. Gen. Rickards, who inspected the division at Camp Grant last summer, commended the unit in a letter to its commander, Maj. Gen. Milton J. Foreman. Gen. Rickards found discipline, morale, and esprit generally "very satisfactory." Physical condition and personnel were rated generally "very satisfactory" and none of the units was described as worse than "satisfactory." Fit and appearance of uniforms were described as "remarkably satisfactory." No fault was found with sanitary conditions and camp administration. "It is to be noted," Gen. Rickards concluded, "that conditions were of general variance from satisfactory to very satisfactory. From this it is to be concluded that the camp was a success." Gen. Foreman, in a circular to all the officers and men of the division, congratulated them on their showing and expressed the hope that in 1925 the division would be the best in the National Guard.

Mr. George made his campaign on the theory that the colored people of Chicago were entitled to this political representation. The Republicans needed the Negro vote more firmly clinched in the Second Ward and made the offer. They held to their bargain and there was united support for George, although he ran last of the twelve Republican judges and more than 100,000 behind Judge D.P. Trude, who headed the ticket. Two previous efforts to elect a Negro as judge in Chicago had failed. Finds One Law for All "I have never been active in factional politics," the new judge said. "I have been active in other ways.

On Monday of this week, Hon. John J. Mitchell, President of the Illinois Merchants Trust Company, happily celebrated his 71st birthday anniversary, and the greater part of the pleasant day he was right at his desk in one of the finest banking offices in this country, shaking hands right and left with his hosts of warm friends and associates. Mr. Mitchell was looking and feeling ever so happy, stating that he was contented to still remain in this grand old world. Some of the many friends of Mr. Mitchell piled a whole wagon load of rare and beautiful flowers all around him, and he looked like he was sitting in a fairy garden or in a land of flowers, and about all he could do was to shake hands, pass out cigars and continue to bow and smile. Many years ago Mr. Mitchell began to work as a messenger boy for the Illinois Trust and Savings Bank, and after many years of hard work on his part and close attention to business, he has become the President of the Illinois Merchants Trust Company, which has become one of the greatest banking institutions in the world.

GIVING CHARITY, NOT PROM- ISES, CUTS YOUR TAX Washington, D. C., Nov. 5.—The United States board of tax appeals today decided that an individual tax-payer is entitled to deduct from gross income in his tax return for 1919 made upon the basis of his books of account kept upon an accrual basis, a contribution to a charitable organization shown by his books of account as a 1918 expense, but which was not paid in cash until the succeeding year where the liability for the payment was fully incurred in 1918. The case was that of C. H. Musselman engaged, in the cannery business at Biglerville, Pa. Mr. Musselman agreed in 1918 to contribute to the United Charities of Biglerville and in 1919 he paid the subscription of $375. THE STORY OF THE WEEK, BY DANIEL CHASE, PHIL. In the Week's News.—If you want to become unpopular, meddle with the other fellow's business. That is almost as bad as "telling the truth on one's neighbor." History records instances of where this has often led to great tragedy. The new ruling on income tax returns and the publication of the lists. The public has become alarmingly resentful of the Government's desire to pry into private and personal affairs. There has been a change in the non-employment condition; fewer men being reported out of work. The holiday trade is getting under way. The various Christmas Savings Clubs as well as the other concerns fostering the Christmas saving idea report that within the next few days they will mail to a larger number of patrons than before the largest sum of Christmas money in the history of this movement. Thrift is really a virtue. The men in the service of the United States Navy will, according to the new ruling of Secretary of the Navy Wilbur, be allowed to quench their thirst with Sunday-school beverages—pop and lemon soda. Interesting sessions of the National Social Service Welfare Association have been held, and there have been important conferences in the new Hebrew building at Broad and Pine streets. On a Neighbor's Clothesline Truly, it is bad to look back. We should remember Lot's wife, but evidently the preacher caught in a gambling raid down town, and the young woman, attractive, well thought of, and formerly a member of a progressive church in North Philadelphia, did not think this. The poor divine was fined, but the young woman was held in $1,500 bail on the charge of keeping a disorderly house. From her house, from the orgies of wild night life found echo in the street, and someone tipped the "blue coats" who came down like a thief on the fold. There was nothing spectacular, nothing melodramatic, the men and women were all led forth as sheep to the slaughter. On the Broad Highway The members of the police department scored another decisive victory over the week-end when they participated in ninety-three raids, the larger number of which were made in the southeast section of the city. Over one thousand persons were caught, in many instances overcrowding police stations. Life's Tragedies Newspaper despatches report the death of Albert Loeb, wealthy Chicagoan, and prominent official of the Sears, Roebuck Company. The story is plain: he came down to his death in shame and sorrow; he was murdered by his son. Which death is the worst, that of the poor slain youth, or the crucified father? Crime ever widens; more than one suffers, more than two suffer. Think. One hundred twenty-two couples who had stood before high heaven and witnesses, and had sword to remain loyal "till death do us part" had those ties rent asunder in two of our courts. There surely must be something wrong somewhere in the society of a commonweath where so large a number of men and women in an intelligent age can regard so lightly their marriage vows. Somewhere some heartache needs healing. They just get tired they could not understand—no, and they did not want to. From reports, this is the longest list handed down in months. One hundred twenty-two shattered dreams, one hundred twenty-two broken homes! Are there any children? What of them? Sunday is a day of rest, and with many it is really the only time they give to recreation. The motor car and this bright October weather lure them on. The casualty record for Sunday for this immediate vicinity is one killed and seventeen wounded. Careless or incompetent driving was the cause in most instances. A person who cannot drive safely ought not be permitted to drive. Does it pay? THE WORLD OF BOOKS The Stratford Company, publishers, Boston, Mass., are publishing for the Knights of Columbus its contribution in the way of series of studies, to religious and racial tolerance. Three very interesting books of this series have already been distributed: "The Gift of the Black Folk"—The Negroes in the making of America (W. E. Burghardt DuBois, Ph.D.) "The Germans in the Making of America," and "The Jews in the Making of America." The books are all by men of eminence, each having achieved success in his given line, and each having made his contribution after years of sincere study and research. Each work aims to set forth the truth, for it is to be gained from a reading of the Foreword that in view of the fact that "we continually speak of Germans and Scandinavians, of Irish and Jews, Poles, Austrians and Hungarians; and with few exceptions, we regard the coming of the, Negroes as an unmitigated error and a national liability. It is high time that this course of our thinking should be changed." The series take in at first the three racial groups "most picked upon" by the American white man, so to speak, the Negro and the Jew being hated because of race, the German because of his ambition for world supremacy for Germany. Each of the writers treats his subject in dead earnest, without any social or political aim. It is the truth they seek to portray, and Dr. DuBois in his work, as well as the two other authors, tells in his own inimitable way the story of the Negro's contribution to this Republic. He tells how the Negro helped in the discovery and development of this country. INVITES KLAN TO CHURCH But Is Ill When Hooded Knights Come With Donation Washington, N. J.-The Rev. J. M. Still, pastor of the Mt. Pisgah African Methodist Episcopal Church is reported to have invited the members of the Ku Klux Klan to attend divine services in his church. Earlier in the week it had been announced that the Klan would be out to the Sunday meeting, so in pursuance therewith the Klan, full regalia and with its contribution of one hundred and sixty-six dollars entered the church. The church was crowded as this $166 was to be contributed to the final payment on the church's mortgage. The Rev. Still was not present, however, and the steward of the church Aaron Anderson, announced from the pulpit that the pastor had been seized suddenly with chills and fever and would not be present. The Ku Klux Klan is reported to have made its contribution, after which the steward preached. The next day, according to report, members of the church stated that their pastor had recovered and was able to be about his duties. GIVEN FIVE YEARS Rev. E. O. Jones, General Kleagle Party to Crime Fairmount, W. Va.—The interest that has centered around the trial of the Rev. E. O. Jones, general kleagle of the Ku Klux Klan for several weeks, came to an end when Judge E. M. Showalter, before whom he was charged, sentenced Rev. Jones to serve five years in the State penitentiary at Moundsville. Rev. Jones was tried with being a party to the conspiracy in connection with the shooting of Daniel Washington, colored, whom the Rev. Mr. Jones and others charged with associating with and being too familiar with a white woman. It will be remembered that Washington was lured by the woman to a certain place where the men in question set upon him, assaulting him, leaving him for dead, Washington feining death. He escaped, however and recovered, and returned to press charges against the defendants. J. A. Landis, who was convicted on a similar charge, was fined $500 and sentenced to serve sixty days in jail, while Ivan Poling, another defendant was fined $500. PERSONAL MENTION Mrs. Charles E.

THE LATE COMMODORE FERDINAND W. PECK One of the oldest and most patriotic native citizens of Chicago, being born in this city July 15, 1848, and passing away Tuesday, November 4, 1924. On Tuesday, November 4, at high non, Commodore Ferdinand W. Peck, who was one of the best known figures in the public life of Chicago, closed his eyes in death at the Henro-tin Memorial Hospital. 000,000 skyscraper now stands. A frame house stood on the corner then and his father owned the property, having purchased it for $5,000. "Father" of Auditorium Mr. Peck is credited with having Mr. Peck was 76 years old. He was born in Chicago on July 15, 1848, and, with the exception of his journeys to other parts of the world, spent his entire life in the city of his birth. He was educated in Chicago grammar and high schools, in the University of Chicago and in the Chicago Union College of Law. He was married in this city to Miss Tilla C. Spaulding, who survives him. Mr. Peck was taken to Henrotin Memorial hospital a week ago, suffering from pleurisy and inflammatory rheumatism. Four Sons, Two Daughters Surviving Mr. Peck besides his widow, who resides at 1826 Michigan avenue, are four sons and two daughters. They are: Ferdinand W. Peck, 1826 Michigan avenue; Spaulding Peck, Robertsdale, Ala.; Walter Peck, 1320 Astor street; Clarence E.

"Father" of Auditorium Mr. Peck is credited with having first visualized the Auditorium Theater. It was to Mr. Peck that Adelina Patti sang on the historic night the Auditorium was opened. His guests of the occasion numbered Benjamin Harrison, Levi P. Morton, Gov. Fifer of Illinois and Mayor DeWitt C. Cregger of Chicago. Commodore Peck, as he loved to be known, once entertained the Prince of Wales, later King Edward of England. He was conspicuous in the World's Columbian Exposition, Chicago's famous World's Fair; commissioner general of the United States to the Paris exposition in 1900, and a grand officer of the Order Nationale de la Legion D'Honneur. He served as president of the board of education and held other city and honorary offices. Mr. Peck was always one of the true friends of the colored race in this city and for more than 20 years Mr. Morris Lewis, a colored man, served as his private secretary.

THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, NOVEMBER 8, 1924 Hon.Wm.C.Matthews National Organizer Expresses Appreciation for Co-Operation of the Group During the Campaign and Proposes a Constructive Program of Action My fellow Americans; Early returns from the polls indicate that President Calvin Coolidge has been elected to succeed himself as Chief Executive of the Nation. The country is to be congratulated. I believe it to be my duty to express to the members of my group my deepest appreciation for their hearty support of me and my program during the campaign. My designation as leader in the fight was only incidental but the loyal co-operation I have enjoyed is positive proof that the right kind of leadership is all our people require to inspire them to follow. The election is at an end but our work as a group must be continued. My associates have made these happy results possible. Believing that next in importance to the election of President Coolidge is a constructive program of procedure dedicated to the civic and political improvement of the thirteen millions of colored citizens of America; and Believing that the loyal support of the colored voters in this country registered at the polls on November 4, 1924 justly entitled them to a recognition commensurate with the spirit of the New Day; and expressing our appreciation of the new spirit in the Republican party in its designation of a Negro candidate for the United States Congress; and accepting the new spirit of the Republican party as genuine, this program of constructive action is submitted for your consideration and approval. No.1—Representation in the Diplomatic Corps. We believe that the ground lost in recent years in the Diplomatic Corps should be restored to the Colored citizens as a just recognition of the right through representation in the Consular Service and as representatives to foreign governments. No.2—The establishment of a stable representative government in the Virgin Islands by Act of Congress. The problem of government in these recently acquired islands, rich in resources and valuable in strategic importance to our Government, entails a responsibility, seeing to it that a real representative government is provided for the inhabitants by the United States Government. The inhabitants of the Virgin Islands are Colored and the initiative for the institution of a proper government must come from the United States. No. 3.—The appointment of an Under- Secretary of State. The appointment of a representative in the Department of State is a recognition by the United States Government of its Colored citizens which we can rightfully claim and with Colored men in the Consular and Diplomatic Service, establishes a connection between these representatives and the Government of a sympathetic and friendly nature. No. 4.—The appointment of a Civil Service Commissioner. Much complaint, some of which is undoubtedly justified, has been made to the Administration of affairs by the Civil Service Commission. As a practical measure the appointment of a Colored man as one of the Commissioners will allay the feeling of distrust and ought to enable a system of appointments and classifications to be arranged to the satisfaction of the Colored employees and at the same time protect the Government's interest in the maintenance of the standard of efficiency. No. 5.—The appointment of an Assistant Postmaster General. The problems of the Post Office Department are many and varied and in many of the large centers of population, much criticism has been indulged in of the Administration of this Department. A representative in this Department will be of aid to the Government in the working out of general policies of operation lessening racial friction and the adjustment of diffi urged that all the friendly co-operation of the Negro people in caring for its own, be drawn upon and used and that administrative offices in the Bureau at Washington and in the Regional Districts be appointed with a view of intelligently directing these forces for service to the Colored Veterans. No. 13—Appointments in the Educational Department. The practical workings of this Department in many of the states is so adjusted as to inflict injustices and discriminations by its operatives when the manifest intention of the law is to be beneficial. In many of the states where separate schools obtain, money is withheld from Colored pupils and applied for the donation of white pupils in addition to the amount set aside specifically for such white institutions. This obtains in many of the states where separate schools are provided for by law. The appointment of a highly trained and practical educator in this department would provide against these injustices and at the same time would be an aid to the Government and serve a need to the Colored people of the Nation in their intellectual development. No. 14.-The 92nd and 93rd Divisions be reallocated as combat divisions. The Colored people of the Nation have a right to expect of the Government that its defenders, when called into service, be not used merely as laborers and that so long as the obligation to serve the Nation as war units is a responsibility which cannot be evaded, we insist that the representatives from our class of citizenship be recognized as Combat Troups in the service of the Government. No. 15.—Abolition of segregation in the Government Service. We feel that we need but call attention to the fact that this Government cannot maintain its reputation as a Democracy if segregation of citizens because of color, is a Governmental policy and we urge the abolition of discrimination in all of the departments of Governmental Service. No. 16.—Approval of Liberian Loan. The obligations incurred by this Government to the Liberian Government during the war for services rendered by that Government are too plain and just for division of opinion. The promises made by this Government through its representatives in all honor ought to be kept and the principle maintained that America is too broad, too big and too just to break its word when solemnly given. We therefore, urge that a loan of suitable size commensurate with the needs of the Liberian Government be made. No. 17.—Without attempting to determine the method to be employed, we urge that the Government take suitable cognizance of the crime of lynching in the United States. HON. WILLIAM T. FRANCIS CHAIRMAN OF THE WEST- ERN DISTRICT, REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE SOUNDS THE PRAISES OF THE BROAD AX The following letter speaks for it- self: Republican National Committee Wrigley Building Chicago, Ill. Nov. 3, 1924. Mr. Julius F. Taylor, Editor, The Broad Ax, 6206 S. Elizabeth street, Chicago, Ill. Dear Sir:— In concluding our activities in one of the most systematic campaigns ever conducted by our group and in recognition and appreciation of the valuable services rendered by your paper, I desire on behalf of Mr. William C. Matthews, Organizer, and myself to thank you for your contribution to the successful results obtained. The influence of your paper played no small part in making it possible to secure practically united co-operation of our group despite the efforts made to divert our people from the Grand Old Party. It is because of the loyalty of men like you and journals like yours that the race is being held to some degree of solidarity to the principles that are and will be helpful to our group. I know you will enjoy with me the consummation of our hopes and aims in the election of Coolidge and Dawes. It is our desire that as a result of our efforts a constructive program can be worked out where your continued cooperation will be beneficial. cultics brought about by racial contact in an equitable manner. No. 6.—Restoration of the Office of Registrar of the Treasury to the race. One of the most heartening effects of the Administration will be the appointment of a Colored man to this office. It will have the tendency of restoring the confidence of the Colored people in the Administration and the Republican party. No. 7.—Appointment of a Minister to Haiti and a Consul General to Port Au Prince. The present conditions in Haiti, in fact in many of the countries inhabited by Colored people is in itself the strongest reason for urging that contact between this country and these people be established through the appointment of representative Colored men from America. The aims and aspirations of the inhabitants of these countries can be best served and friendly co-operation maintained through the sympathetic understanding had by a representative of kindred race. No. 8.—Appointment of an Assis- tant Attorney General. The growing importance of this Department's relationship to the status of the Colored citizens of the Nation, in that it is intrusted with the maintenance and sustaining of the Constitutional questions arising incident to Governmental functions, makes it imperative that we have representation in this office as a safe-guard. No. 9.—Representation upon the Railroad Board of Review; Farm Credits Bureau and in the Department of Commerce. The large number of railroad employees working under varied conditions in the Administration of the railroad system of the Nation should have a representative upon the Board that devises, controls and directs this industry. The question of equal accommodations upon the railroads of this country, is a subject that must be called to the attention of the Interstate Commerce Commission and a ruling secured prohibiting discriminations against our people. The operation of the Farm Credits Bureau has not been brought home to the Negro farmer, so that he may become a beneficiary of its operation. Certainly the large number of Colored people dependent upon agriculture for livelihood and the resulting benefit to the Government as well as to the farmers themselves, demands that every available facility be furnished in the interest of production in this industry. The Back-to-the-Farm Movement must be preceded by conditions and surroundings conducive to permanency and security. No. 10.—Recognition of our women in the Public Service. We believe that since the enfranchisement of women, the Colored woman has not received the recognition in and welcome to participation in the Public Service as her number, intelligence and equipment for Public Service demand. No. 11.—West Point and Annapolis appointments. We believe that the responsibility of bearing arms in defense of the Government carries with it the right for recognition in the highest office of the War Department. Certainly well-trained officers of the Army and the Navy of the same race as the soldier, will be productive of a higher degree of morale than can be possibly attained under any other system, and we believe that the policy enforced in the past of discouraging appointments to and attendance of our boys to West Point and Annapolis is an unjust reproach on the part of the Government upon the most loyal class of its citizenship and should be stopped.

COOLIDGE DATES THANKSGIVING NOVEMBER 27 Urges Nation to Gratitude for Days of Peace Washington, D. C., Nov. 5.—President Coolidge issued a proclamation today formally proclaiming Thursday, Nov. 27, as Thanksgiving Day. The proclamation said: been large and our harvests have been bountiful. We have been remarkably free from disorder and remarkably successful in all those pursuits which flourish during a state of domestic peace. An abundant prosperity has overspread the land. "Rededicate America" "We shall do well to accept all these "We approach that season of the year when it has been the custom for the American people to give thanks for the good fortune which the bounty of Providence through the generosity of nature, has visited on them. It is altogether a good custom. It has the sanction of antiquity and the approbation of our religious convictions. In acknowledging the receipt of Divine favor, in contemplating the blessings which have been bestowed on us, we shall reveal the spiritual strength of the nation. Give Thanks for Peace The year has been marked by a continuation of peace whereby our country has entered into a relationship of better understanding with all other nations of the earth. Ways have been revealed to us by which we could perform very great service through the giving of friendly counsel, through the extension of financial assistance, and through the exercise of a spirit of neighborly kindness to less favored peoples. We should give thanks for the power which has been given into our keeping, with which we have been able to render these svices to the rest of mankind.

I recommend that the people gather in their places of worship and at family altars and offer up their thanks for the goodness which has been shown-to them in such a multitude of ways." ONE DIVORCE FOR EVERY WEDDINGS IN ILLINOIS Washington.One divorce was granted for every seven marriages performed in Illinois during the calendar year 1923, according to figures announced at the bureau of the census today. The number of divorces was 12,306, and marriages 84,068. Both marriages and divorces increased at substantially the same rate as in 1922, when the totals were 75,208 and 11,507 respectively. This represented an increase of 11.3 for marriages and 11.3 for divorces. 1930 the Municipal Court of Chicago, leads on election day enabled him Tuesday, November 4th.

COOK, THE ELOQUENT PASTOR OF THE METROPOLITAN COMMUNITY CENTER CHURCH, PREACHED HIS REMARKABLE FOURTH ANNIVERSARY SERMON RECENTLY. Beaumont, Texas—I have been going some since I wrote you last, yet I am still in the United States, and this time I am in Texas. The last Sunday I was in Chicago, I went to the Community Center, the occasion being the fourth anniversary, and I heard the Rev. Dr. W. D. Cook preach his anniversary sermon. I was impressed with his common sense message. It was thought that he was going to skin the cat with some of the other people but he had only words of praise. He has a large following. I want to take advantage of this opportunity to congruate Dr. Cook. I have known him a number of years. I knew him when he was in Norfolk, Va., and other places, even in St. Louis. I will give you this week his sermon. Here it is: "Hitherto the Lord Hath Helped Us "Just four short years have passed since the organization of the People's church and Metropolitan Community Center, consequently this day is our fourth anniversary of our existence as an organized unit in the uplift and advancement of all those things pertaining to the kingdom of Christ and the mental, moral and spiritual welfare of the community. "I deem it not necessary to enter into the details which caused the organization of our church for they are in a measure known by most of our friends and under the guiding hand of our Heavenly Father has proven its right to exist among the churches of Christ in this great city. "Whatever may have been the cause and motive which actuated the founders of the church, one thing we have always emphasized and even now and here emphasize the fact that it was not organized in opposition to any denomination nor to inculcate a propaganda of strife and confusion among Christians of other churches. Our object was and is to fraternize and work lovingly with all Christians who love the Lord, Jesus Christ, and make more practical the religion we so loudly profess. "Our purpose is not to denounce creed, but to make prominent the fact that we love Christ better than we love creed; that we can better serve God by serving his children regardless of creed. With this slogan we welcome persons of all denominations in our ranks, and gladly affiliate with all who will permit us of any and all denominations. In this we are actuated by the prayer of our Savior who prayed that 'all may be one.' "In all ages of the Christian Church there are those who have caught a broader vision and harkened to the voice of God and resolved to do his bidding at any cost. Abraham, the father of the faithful, was a brilliant example of this class of men. 'The God of glory appeared to our Father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Canaan, and said unto him, "Get thee out of thy country and from thy kindred and come into the land which I will show thee"—Acts, 7-2,3. Abraham went out without knowing whither he went.' Martin Luther, imbued with the spirit of Christ, defied the power of the Pope and, fixing his eyes upon Christ, went forth preaching justification by faith. John Wesley forsook the Church when it became too dry and formal and organized the great Methodist church upon the basis of practicability and a deeper spirituality. "Again, when this great church blundered by making slaves of the Negroes, she brought upon herself the righteous wrath of God and then God called certain men out of that Church and caused the establishing of the Methodist Church North. "When this same Church, forgetful of the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of Christ, drew the color line and drove Richard Allen from his knees and out of the church, Allen, yearning for religious liberty, withdrew and founded the great A. M. E. Church. "And in keeping with the same spirit four years ago a handful of members caught the desire for greater religious liberty and more of the spirit of Christ organized this, 'The People's Church and Community Center.'" "It is commonly reported that I, your humble servant, organized this church, but not so." The church was organized by a few devout, earnest members who felt outraged, humiliated and grieved by the treatment of those in authority. They did not resolve to leave their former church until they had exhaust- ed all means to get a hearing from the administration under wich they had so faithfully served for a number of years. Consequently, when denied a hearing, and their prayer disregarded, they reached the conclusion to quit and hence we have the People's Church, and now, even those who did not favor the organization have been forced to say surely the Lord is with this people.' "After the organization was formed the founders extended an invitation to your humble servant to become the pastor, who, after much meditation and prayer, accepted, notwithstanding his long career in the church which he left. And thank God he has nothing to regret by reason of the change. I think I can safely say that in all my ministerial life I have never served a more loyal, loving and liberal people than you who compose the People's Church. "The severance of my relations with my former church was not an easy or pleasant affair, I can assure you, but the fact that God called me out and day and night has guided my footsteps and drawn around me a host of faithful members and friends, thus setting his seal of approval upon the work, I am absolutely content and exceedingly happy, finding the afternoon of my ministry full of the blessings of God, and as I pursue the work of my church I am encouraged to go on singing: "Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow Thee; Naked, poor, despised, forsaken, Thou from hence my all shall be Yet how rich is my ambition. God and heaven are still my own; Perish every fond ambition, All I have hoped and sought and known.' "From some the question comes, What is the People's Church and Community Church and what does it stand for? The church stands for the Fatherhood of God and the Bretherhood of Christ; the belief that none are so far gone but what they can be reclaimed; none so deep in corruption but that the hand of Christ can lift them; none so foul but that the blood of Christ can cleanse them; and that God does not take account of us as churches or organizations, but as individuals who must, in the final analysis, give account to God for all the deeds done in the body. "We believe that our religion should demonstrate itself in a most practical manner, have to do with every phase of human life, that our lives may be brought into harmony with the life of Christ. "If the individual is hungry, feed him and then pray for him; if he is naked, cloth him and then tell him of the garment of righteousness; if he is thirsty give him drink and then tell him of the fountain of living water. "The Master himself said: 'In as much as ye have done this to the least of these, my brethren, ye have done it unto Mc.' Again, our church stands for the promoting and fostering of all legitimate business enterprises. To this end we have manifested interest in all civic and secular matters tending toward the uplift of all the people, and especially our own racial group. The statesman has been welcomed to this platform; the banker has spoken of his business; the lawyer has discoursed of his aspirations; the physician has spoken of the laws of health; the orator has displayed his eloquence; the musician has demonstrated his ability, and the man of genius has exhibited his talent before the vast audiences which have from time to time assembled in this historic building and all this made possible at the expense of the People's Church and Community Center. "And many whose ability might never have been known but for the opportunity given them by our church and center, and in giving this opportunity, we have done only what a live, active church should do to demonstrate its right to exist in the community and support of the people, and judging from the past results we have abiding confidence in the future. We know that if we give the people worthwhile service they will give the church all needed support, for no race of people are more liberal than those of our race. "But there are those who ask, has the Community Church made any progress? We answer, it has. Let us review its short history for a moment and observe its growth and accomplishments: [Portrait of a man in formal attire with a mustache and a tie.

Without your hearty support we could not have succeeded. God bless you both men and women. God alone knows how you have sacrificed and toiled in your love for the Community Church. Under God we have all things to hope for and nothing to fear. Let us be humble, let us not boast but rather let us give God all the glory." "Take this church of ours for infamilies, one physician, one lawyer, a school of music, a business school, a department for target practice and ten different fraternal and benevolent societies. All this, and yet ample room for church services, social and recreational departments. The work is carried on at a greater expense than the public has any idea of. Thousands of dollars have been paid out to charity, benevolence and home missions." "Many a hungry soul has gone away with appetites appeased, hundreds have come in chilled with the blasts of winter and gone out with comfort and warmth, others have come to us depressed and discouraged but left with hope and encouragement to continue life's battle. Such has been the work of the People's Church and Center, May God bless those who have, by their contributions, made these things possible. "But you ask has the community expanded? I answer, yes, it has grown and continues to grow both in and out of Chicago. "Within the confines of our city four years ago me and my church stood alone. Since that time the Progressive Community Church, on forty-cighth street, has been added, and under its most excellent pastor, Dr. J. A. Winters, has a membership of twelve hundred worshiping in their own beautiful church for which they paid thirty thousand dollars. "Again, we have the Cosmopolitan Community Church under that courageous man of God, the Rev. Dr. J. R. Harvey, who is now in the act of building a splendid church with four hundred members. Then go with me, if you please, to the city of Detroit and you will see a beautiful community church pastored by the young giant, the Rev. Wilbur Johnson. This young man with his flock has purchased a church costing thirty thousand dollars. "Then, if you please, run down to St. Louis and you will find the Community Church, pastored by that distinguished man of God, the Rev. A. Z. Bowers. "Last, but by no means least, go with me across the continent until you reach the golden gates of California and you will find in Los Angeles the church pastored by the orator and scholar, the Rev. Dr. Gregg. Dr. Gregg's church is the most popular and aggressive church in the city of Los Angeles with a membership of twelve hundred worshipping in their own fifty thousand dollar church. 'Surely the Lord of Hosts is with us and the God of Jacob is our refuge.' "And now, I could not afford to close this sermon without a word of thanks and commendation of the official cabinet who have so faithfully and unselfishly labored to bring success to the church. Without your hearty support we could not have succeeded. God bless you both men and women. God alone knows how you have sacrificed and toiled in your love for the Community Church. Under God we have all things to hope for and nothing to fear. Let us be humble, let us not boast but rather let us give God all the glory." CHAS. E. STUMP. September's Many Names September falls within the zodiacal sign of Libra, the balance, or scales. September gets its name from the Latin numeral septem, because the month was the seventh of the ancient Roman calendar, which had but ten months. In the days of Charlemagne the French called the season the harvest month. Among the early Saxons it was known as barley month. The American Indians called it "Moon of Falling Leaves." Home of Half-Million Gulls Ravinglass, on the coast of Cumberland, England, is one of the greatest haunts of seagulls (commonly called gullies) on the British coast.

Relationship Between When you make your decision upon what is "your color," observes a writer in the Kansas City Star, undoubtedly you consider your eyes, your hair, your skin, and perhaps even the psychological effects the color has on your moods. But do you consider your income? If you do not, not only are you likely to have a depleted bank balance and a worried expression, but the very colors you choose as "yours" are likely, by some malicious magic, to become both unsuitable and unbecoming. Suppose, for instance, it is some bright shade which you have selected as pre-eminently suited to your looks and personality. Now, if your income is such that you cannot afford plenty of other and milder-colored clothes, to offset the ones of the favored "loud" color, your friends are going to tire of that color quickly; and the chances are that, after a time, you will even cease to appear attractive in it—at least to those who see you wear it daily. Prominent stripes, plaids and checks come in the same class of conspicuous clothing as do striking colors. You can appear attractive season after season in a conservatively-toned gown, say of blue, black, brown or dark green, where you would soon become a tiring object to the eye if you appeared throughout a single season in a bright red, or brilliant green cheekered sports suit. Again, the color considerations of the women whose income is limited should concern lightness, as well as brightness, of shade. It is obvious that, since light clothing appears solled much more quickly than dark clothing does, too much of it in the wardrobe of the average woman is an unwarranted expense, as it entails constant cleaner's bills. Only if you have enough money to keep light, easily solled clothes continually at the cleaner's, and to discard clothes of which you or your friends have become tired, you can disregard the otherwise important relationship between color and your income. Evening Coats Promis Evening coats will be more popular than capes, according to a prominent fashion writer. Gold metal embroidery trims many of these. Sometimes the sleeves are embroidered, the rest of the wrap remaining plain. Many of the suit-coats, which extend within ten inches of the hem of the frock, have three rows of fur banding placed at intervals about the bottom of the coat. Sleeves of the coats are generally rather snug-fitting from shoulder to wrist, and are finished with four or five-inch cuffs of fur. Upstanding collars of fur will be popular. Where fur forms the hem-border on the slender frock, the accompanying coat extends just above the fur. Collar and cuffs of the coat match the fur used on the frock. Gifts for the Bride The girl who contemplates being married, and is busy with her trousseau, will be interested in the linen strips that are meant to hold one's linens in neat piles. These strips tie with tapes and are cross-stitched with floral designs and the name of the article they are meant to hold, such as "towels," "pillow cases" and "sheets" Worn in New Manner A number of smart women, wearying of the multiplicity of glass bangles, now have adopted the two-bracelet idea. The two bracelets match, and one is worn above the left elbow, the other on the left wrist Brave Man A brave man is a doctor who attends a case of nerves and prescribes a regular job—New Haven Register. Premet's winter collection shows great cleverness and ingenuity in introducing touches of novelty into gowns that retain all the well-known traditions of this house, says a fashion writer in the New York Herald-Tribune. There are yokes to the base of the shoulder line on most of the dresses. The center-back is defined by a seam, a plait, a strap, and often fullness is given by a group of inverted knife-plats at the foot, both center-back and front. The waistline is slightly higher, but this is arranged in such a subtle manner as to scarely perceptible, for the beltless fashion still remains a feature of this house. There is a slight fitting at the normal waistline in some instances. In others the buttons of a doublebreasted coat are placed higher than they would have been last year. A touch of embroidery or a ribbon cravat is brought through a slot in the dress at a higher level than in the last collection. The blossoms worn with three-piece suits are as long as the coats and often quite straight. They are generally of gorgette crepe, which may be plaited or embroidered. Plaid is much used in this collection and so is a fine silk faille called grain de poudre which resembles otooman. There is a material that looks like interwoven womens, nearly TOMMY'S DRESSWEAR & STAIRWEAR Panel of Fancy Ribbon Adds to Charming Frock. Panel of Fancy Ribbon Adds to Charming Frock. half an inch wide, of thick artificial silk. In black it is much used for dresses and afternoon coats. Fob ribbons, buckles and enamel or diamond ornaments are attached wherever there is an excuse for them and often when there is not. Some of these ribbons are embroidered with a motto. For instance, on a gray dress there is a gray ribbon with the cryptic phrase "Nl you sans mol ni mol sans vous" embroidered in a darker shade. Louiseboulanger has a collection that is strikingly original and picturesque. Her color effects are interesting and she uses unusual trimmings that are carefully thought out. Some of her blouses are delightful, and there is distinction in her cut. A new feature is the importance given to the shoulder line, which is made high with gathers, plafts or smocking where the sleeve is sewed into the dress. Coats are cut very wide and show a circular movement. One in caracul is trimmed with narrow inlet bands of black velvet, while another, in gray duvetyn, is lined with a black and white wool material and has a white fur collar. FOR Paris This Winter A sheath gown and a smile—that's what the Parisienne is going to wear this winter, according to the leaders of fashion in the Rue le da Palx. There won't be any waistline. The dressmakers have given up as a bad job the task of trying to decide whether it should be close to the knee or close to the northern frontier. But winter is going to be cold. Therefore, before you can see the gown, you can admire a cloak of velvet or silk with furs as accessories above and below. Fur coats will be as popular as ever, of course, but they are getting more and more expensive. The best the woman of modest means can do is to have a fur collar, but it must be so high that nothing shows but her eyes. Fur also will be utilized as trimmings at the bottom of the gown, and under that cac can see "hand sewn" stockings of silk or lisele with lace, silver or gold embroidery.

Old Friends Are Found Among "New" Fabrics Among the "new" fabrics for fall some are new and some are not. Some are very old friends with entirely new names. There are some also which are old friends, but so changed is their appearance that for a moment we seem to have merely a howing acquaintance, until we examine them more closely. But whatever the appearance of the material we are sure to find on touching it that it is always softer and more pliable to the touch. We seldom hear anyone say anything about blue serge now. It goes by a half-dozen different names, and while it has lost none of its warmth it seems much more closely woven and is decidedly lighter in weight. Other weaves, like wool reps and wool crepes, have divided honors to some extent and tricotine has also peaked in the one-piece frocks that used to know only serge. What is said of serge is equally true of the materials of suede-like surface. One seldom hears the word "duvetyn" any more and in reality there is very little of that fabric, as we knew it, seen anywhere. But some of the new fawn-skin fabrics snow about a hair's breadth of change from duvetyn; they are thinner, lighter and more supple, while losing none of their warmth. Certainly there are all kinds of fabrics for coat and frock in the pile kinds, but that pile is not so high and not so thick. It looks as if it might have been clipped down and smoothed off. Even where there are checks or cords in the material the blocks do not rise so high from the surface, except in some of the sports materials. Absence of Any Sheem Noticeable in Woolens One noticeable difference in the woolen fabrics this year is the absence of any sheen of any kind whatsoever. The only exception to this is an occasional piece of broadcloth with its smooth satin-like surface: Silks are just the opposite on their surfaces. Satins, bengalines and fallies, alpaca and new silks, called by different names, are glossy and lustrous. Satin has not the mirrored effect that is deeper and handsome looking. Bengaline and fallie have quite a high finish, while alpaca is more glossy and less likely to wrinkle than it has been. Both the wool and the silk pile fabrics are much more serviceable than they were when they were first introduced. And when we remember that duvetyn, shortly after the war period, was from $12 to $20 a yard, and none too durable at that, we can see how wonderfully improved both in looks and service all the materials of this nature have become. Some of the new plaids have a soft wool foundation plaided with a silk thread. One in navy blue plaided in cherry red is very pretty and very smart in a street frock. Small Hat With High Square Crown Is Liked Happily for all concerned, several new styles have taken the place of the little bell-shaped hat in the affe- ctions of the wearers. The tiny hat still rules supreme, and no wonder it it seems to fit the tubular outline to perfection. The small hat with a high square crown is one of the new- est and best liked hats of the moment and these are seen with the brim turned up in front or in back, or witt a brim that is straight. Combined With Black Royal blue and white are the colors most frequently combined with the fashionable black. Flat crepes and the satin back crepes predominate. Gold, Silver, Penny, and Cash were the names of litigants in an English court recently. An artificial speaking machine was demonstrated by Sir Richard Paget. By blowing into it and angering stops he mechanically produced complete words and sentences. He used this device to illustrate his theory of the development of human language from the unintelligible roars, grunts, squeaks, howls and whistles of our prehistoric ancestors. In those early days, he said, according to the New York World, man used his larynx to roar, to grunt with and at the same time he communicated his ideas to others by grimaces and the movements of tongue and lips. The next step was the discovery that by blowing air through the mouth while he was grimacing the movements of his tongue and lips produced changes of whispered sounds, so that the various grimaces could be recognized even when his back was turned. The last stage in the great invention of speech came when our primitive ancestors discovered that by roaring and grunting at the same time as they whispered the audible grimace became recognizable ten or twenty times farther off than before. They also found that they could vary the note of their roars and grunts without interfering with the recognition of the grimace. And so they invented the art of song. Clouds Vary Greatly Air is viscid, like molasses, but of course not so sticky. Not only is it viscid, but its viscosity varies greatly with temperature and pressure. On the ground clouds diffuse rapidly, higher up they are ropy and still higher they are granular, like sand grains on a beach. There are cloud levels and clear spaces in the air where clouds are rare or never go. These levels were determined before the earth took its shape. They are fixed by the dynamic laws of the globe, says the Rehoboth Sunday Herald. The lowest clouds lie at less than 5,000 feet above the ground, and they would float there if this world were all gaseous, like the planet Jupiter is. On stormy days they do, in fact, come as near to the land as they can, and hug the ground so closely that they make the day dark. These clouds are heavy rolling hills. Certainly Was Dumb In Lancashire the victim of nearly every funny story is the "tackler," an onlooker in a mill. He is invariably made out to be an extremely stupid fellow. The following is a typical example as told by Whit Cumliffe: "Two tacklers, dressed in their Sunday best, met in the street, and one remarked to the other: "Why, Bill, how nice your suit looks. You only had it new the same time as mine and look how mine has gone out of shape." "Well, remarked Bill, 'you should do the same as I do; get one of them coat hangers.'" "His friend's face brightened and he departed full of glee. They met again some time later. "Well,' said Bill, 'did you get that coat hanger I told you about?' "Yes,' replied the other, 'but the blooming thing made my shoulders sore." The Wonderful Baby "Now, then, indies and gents," shouted the rosy-faced showman, "walk up an' see the most wonderful baby on earth! The charge for admission is only sixpence. Walk up! Walk up!" A good many people responded to the invitation, and when the place was full the showman brought forward a very ordinary baby indeed in all respects. "What is there wonderful about it?" asked one of the disgusted audience of the showman. "I've seen thousands of babies like it." "Well," said the showman, getting near an aperture in the booth, "all I can say is that its mother says it's the most wonderful baby on earth, an' if she doesn't know who does? You'll have to take the lady's word for it!" he yelled as he dodged an empty bottle and disappeared from view.—London Tit-Bits. Cleveland on the Cow Grover Cleveland's composition on the cow, written when he was a small boy in school, follows: "The cow is very useful if it were not for the cow we could not have no milk to put in our coffee and tea. "Every part of the cow is useful; the skin is tanned into leather and boots are made of it. The flesh is good for food and is called beef; their horns are made into buttons. Of milk butter and cheese is made. There is a glutinous substance by the hoof which is made into glue—indeed if it were not for the cow, we should have to do without many things which are considered necessities of life."—Kansas City Times. Ancient Candlestick Unique in appearance is an iron candlestick owned by a Los Angeles girl. This was given her ancestors by Henri II of France. It was used in the doughty monarch's hunting lodge, and is made of sturdy iron spirals set upon a round base on three bent legs. The candle fits down in the spiral, and there is an ingenious iron knob or handle which, when twisted, raises the diminishing candle a spiral at a time, so that the light may be kept even as the wax melts down.

Be Careful When Choosing Lining Be Careful When Choosing Lining Interior of Coat Should Be Soft, Attractive, Serviceable and Easy. Did you ever "buy a coat for its lining?" inquires a fashion correspondent in the Kansas City Star. Then you're probably a devotee of lovely linings. You know that if you buy a handsome lining for a wrap, you are sure to see that the wrap itself and the gown you wear under it do not cheapen the lining. Every garment you have, however simple in style, must "live up" to that lining. So, as you pause at the lining counter, select your material with an eye to beauty as well as durability. It is generally economical, anyway, to get as good a lining as you can afford. But it is also quite possible to get an inexpensive one that will both look and wear well. The best economy is to buy a guaranteed silk for your lining provided you can afford one of good quality. A good grade of some well-wearing and good-looking mercerized cotton cloth, however, is infinitely preferable to a cheap silk. Foulards and crepe de chine are rather expensive, but they are among the best of lining silks, since they are usually durable as well as beautiful. Satin, like silk, is lovely if it is good satin. But loosely woven satin "catches on everything." Here again, if you cannot afford the best, you will do well to choose your lining from mercerized materials in satin weave. Sateen, for instance, will not only outwear many a coat, but may be had in quite handsome effects. Since your lining should be comfortable as well as ornamental, you will avoid any material that would be rough or "scratchy" against the neck and arms. The durability of stiff linings is uncertain, too, so softness is, in general, the first thing to look for in linings. Firm weave, which will not permit of "roughing up" and pulling, is next; and then, don't forget that your coat lining must have a fast color, for the protection of the gowns and blouses you wear underneath it. Test the fastness of the color by rubbing a white handkerchief over the cloth. If any color comes off on your handkerchief, you may be sure that friction and perspiration would mean the ruination of any garments that come in contact with the material. All in all, the requirements of a desirable lining, whether expensive or not, are that it should be soft, attractive, serviceable, not easily crushed, and, above all, comfortable. Australian Leopard and Beaver Make This Coat THE NEW YORKER Australian leopard and beaver, with bands of dark fur, affording an added jauntiness to the spotted pelt, combine to make a charming short garment. Lingerie Ribbon Strap Gift for Bride's Shower A lingerie strap made of ribbon will make an attractive gift for a bride's shower. The strap is put around the plies of lingerie, and keeps the different garments in neat separate plies in the drawer. It may also be used in the linen closet for keeping the linen pieces stacked together. To make the strap get a piece of ribbon two inches wide and a yard and three-quarters long. After forming a loop with the ribbon the ends are run through a casing which is made from two pieces of cardboard as follows: Cut two pieces of cardboard two inches long and an inch and a half wide. Cover these pieces on both sides with white ribbon or silk. Work a little cross-stitch pattern on the silk which is to form the top side in the same color as the ribbon from which the strap is made. Sew the two pieces of covered cardboard together by overcasting the edges at the top and bottom, leaving a casing through which to run the ends of the ribbon. Slave Bracelet's Lure The lure of the slave bracelet is very great. Everywhere one sees it worn, from simple gold-linked bracelets to more elaborate affairs of colored enamels combined with gold. Quite the newest bit of costume jewelry consists of a barpin with several links of colored enamel separated by links of the gold. These look extremely well when worn in connection with the bracelets. A Joyful Wedding Alabama Exchange—The users embraced a group of intimate friends of the bridegroom.—Boston Transcript Slim Silhouette Now in Danger Flared Hemline Threatens to Gain Approval of Women of Paris. The indecision of the Paris couture has caused a rift in the hitherto harmonious lute of fashion. Months before the opening in August, says a Paris writer in the New York Herald-Tribune, there came rumblings of discontent from critics, who insisted that the straight silhouette had outlived its day and that a definitely different outline was essential for the autumn season. On the other hand, there were the countless devotees of the slim line, amounting to almost a cult, who contended that the esthetic appeal and the simple charm of current styles could not be supplanted by any bourfant or intricate effects. Your Paris designer is nothing if not a diplomat, and he shrewdly declined the issue by offering milady her choice of several distinct silhouettes. Far from settling the question, this attitude naturally enough drew the lines of battle still closer, until today, with the autumn season inaugurated, the usual symphonic family of the mode has been disrupted into two opposing camps. It is true that the offering of a wide divertissement of styles by the French couture has come to be a matter of course in recent seasons. The unprecedented growth of fashion and consequent artistic competition have been responsible for more varied efforts on the part of the couturier. But in the past there was always an agreement on the basic tenets of the mode. Walstlines might vary, sleeves might be subjected to diverse manipulations, trimmings and accessories were as individual as the salons which exploited them, but the foundation was definitely the same with practically every designer. Long Sleeves Approved. Long Sleeves Approved. Compared to these normal tendencies of the mode, the trend this autumn has been a paradox. The Paris creators have agreed upon the details and have proceeded to diversify the keystone. The long and narrow sleeve is an accepted fact in autumn fashions—it is definitely a part of the picture. The high neckline is another detail upon which the couture is in harmony, and Its place, too, is secure and safe in the autumn mode. Another general point of accord is the abbreviated skirt, which with some designers falls seventeen inches short of terrestrial paths, and which averages between fourteen and fifteen. To which must be added the ensemble and the tunic, each of which occupies a prominent place in every collection Consider now the silhouette, which has ever been the traditional basis of every new season's fashions. The straight, silm line has dominated the situation for the last half dozen seasons, and while its supremacy has been sporadically challenged, there has never been a strong, determined effort to displace it from its easy throne—at least, not until the present THEATRE SHOWING THE FILM "THE MAD HAT" BY MARGARET HARRISON Henna-Colored Bengaline Frock is Trimmed With Skunk Pelt, season, when, in deference to a request which came partly from society and which was partly professional, two other silhouettes were submitted. These were not offered to the exclusion of the perennial straight line, which still runs its merry course, but rather as supplementary outlines. The newcomers are the directive silhouette and the molded bodice and flared hemline combination. Patou, for instance, has once more followed the slim, yellful line which has always been his, but even this designer has harkened to the siren call of the fare, and has introduced it by means of the godet. Lanvin, particularly in her evening gowns, has perceptibly widened the hemline. Callot has built her collection principally around the slender outline of last spring. She adheres to the slender Sugar in Many Trees Sugar is found in the sap of nearly two hundred plants and trees. line without exception in tailormades and morning frocks, but has introduced an occasional flare in formal gowns. Molyneux is entirely unable to resist the charm of the boyish mode, and has adopted the straight line to the exclusion of all others. Worth mixes his palette and offers a little of each. The Directoire Outline. The Directoire Outline. Cheruit, Premet and Bechoff exploit the directoire outline. Chez Jenny the line is straight and youthful, with here and there a slight circular movement or fullness—just enough to lend variety to this very interesting collection. All of which is sufficient to indicate that there is no unanimity of opinion in Paris on the subject of the silhouette, however much the creators may agree on the incidental details of the mode. We are aided in forecasting the future of these silhouettes by the international polo matches at Westbury, which, because of the attendance of SUNDAY FASHION WEEK Tan-Colored, Bengaline Frock With the New Circular Cape. the prince of Wales, attracted an unprecedented gathering of society. Using the clothes worn at this function as a criterion, it is evident that the adherents of the straight, slender outline are still in a clear majority. Yet there was a very distinct sprinkling of the flared skirt effects, sometimes exploited quite boldly and sometimes offered a little timorously. It was significant, however, that these new tendencies received the most encouragement from those women who are notably smart dressers. Our own opinion is that it will be another season before a new silhouette takes a definite place in the domains of fashion—that many of the designers who groped timidly toward something different in the August showings will take a firmer stand when the February spring openings arrive. We believe that even the mid-season exhibitions, which take place in November, will display definite tendencies away from straight simplicity. For the present, however, the ubiquitous slender silhouette is the current fare of the mode. The new outlines, distinctly modish, may be categorized as caviar—caviar to the queen. Double Effects Featured. Perhaps the most prominent of the adherents of the fuller silhouette is Gabrielle Chanel. Her skirts are invariably cut on circular lines and a flare at the hemline, sometimes slight and sometimes clearly marked, is always apparent. The coats of this designer are usually fitted slightly at the waist and employ godets and gathers to achieve the desired full effect. Like every other member of the Paris couture, Chanel has recognized the appeal of the ensemble, which is a distinctive feature of her collection. A striking ensemble consists of a brown velvet coat that has smocking across the shoulders at the back and a belt, also at the back, that ties in a loose bow at the side. It is lined with pale green crepe romain and worn over a dress of the same green crepe that has narrow, flat flounces in three groups from waistline to hem. A new idea in her coats is a very interesting double effect which is achieved by means of contrasting materials. For instance, a coat in a brown and beige novelty roder material is made to look as if it were a loose sack over an undercoat of nutria, and is cut in flaps at the back to show more of the fur, which also appears all around it. Many coats are double fronted, so that the upper part may flap back, while the under front, in a different material, is held across the figure. The same idea is noted in capes, of which there are several in the collection, both for day and evening wear. These are three-quarter length. One in sealskin has a high turnover collar of royal blue faille, which lines the cape, and there is a quilted inner front which has slashes for the arms to pass through, and is held across in the manner described above. Elaboration is the dominating note of the evening and formal afternoon And Not Much Else Some people have funnybones between their ears.

Once my hair was anything but long and silky soft as it is now, and my complexion was sallow, and my eyes were unnightly pimples on my face. One day I heard of Exelento Quinine Pomade for the hair and purchased a jar. Almost immediately it stopped all dandruff, made my hair grow long, soft and fine, and gave it a delightful sheen. Because of the perfectly wonderful results I obtained from Exelento Quinine Pomade, I purchased a jar of Exelento Skin Beautifier. It changed my sallow complexion to a clear, lovely skin, glowing with health. For pimples and other skin blemishes, it has no equal. If I am as beautiful as people say, it is all due to Exelento preparations.
