WILLIAM H. BROWNE'S JAZZ HOUND DANCE ORCHESTRA FURNISHED THE MUSIC. THE DINING ROOM WAS RICHLY AND TASTEFULLY DECORATED WITH A PROFUSION OF SMILAX AND FLOWERS. CHOICE REFRESHMENTS WERE SERVED IN A MOST LAVISH MANNER. DR. AND MRS. JACKSON MADE IDEAL HOST AND HOSTESS AND THEY VERY CHARMINGLY WELCOMED THEIR INVITED GUESTS. The Good White People Residing in the Third Ward Should Willingly Join Hands With the Good Colored People of that Ward and Assist to Re-Elect Hon. Robert R. Jackson to the City Council, Tues., Feb. 24 Monday evening, notwithstanding the severe snow storm, one of the most highly enjoyable dancing parties held in this city in many a day was given at the Vincennes Hotel, by Dr. and Mrs. Gordon Henry Jackson. Promptly at 9:30 o'clock William H. Browne's Jazz Hound Dance Orchestra struck up real lively music right from the very start and the dance was on from that time until one o'clock, fast and furious, in every sense of the word, it was a real home dancing party. There was no receiving line, no formal introductions and those who had been invited to attend the lovely social affair pleasantly smiled at each other warmly; shook hands with everybody in sight, for it seemed that most everybody knew everybody that they came in contact with and that was one of the most pleasing and delightful features of the highly enjoyable evening. Not less than three hundred and fifty ladies and gentlemen were present who represented the best, the most progressive tax-paying, property-owning business and professional class of colored people residing in this city and each and every one present greatly admired the beautiful decorations The Good in the Third Join Hands People of the Re-Elect H to the City the campaign of Maj. Robert R. Jackson for Alderman of the Third Ward is assuming such aggressiveness that it astounds the average "old citizens" of the ward. For the first time in the history of Chicago, white residents have opened their homes to a colored candidate and when Charles C. Roe and his estimable wife, Mrs. Hattie R. Roe, gave a house-meeting at their beautiful residence on Oakwood Boulevard, in the interest of the candidacy of Maj. Robert R. Jackson, they broke the "ice" and other members of the white race are following. On last Monday night, Mr. and Mrs. Roe invited the white voters of their precinct, to attend a reception and musical entertainment given in honor of Maj. Robert R. Jackson. Nearly one hundred white voters responded and attended. Mr. and Mrs. Roe received their guests at the door and when Major Jackson arrived, the house was well filled. The three parlors on the first floor were decorated with flags in evidence in the dining room, which was a real dream. The decorations consisting of smilax and other lovely flowers. As the guests entered the dining room, each one was presented with a unique little book, the dance program. It was handsomely bound in leather and the following printed in gold letters on either side, "On With the Dance." Near the middle of the dancing, Mr. William J. Kelley, who is one of the most popular young men around town, distributed the fancy favors and otherwise assisted to manage the pleasant social affair. The favors consisted of rinnless hats for the gentlemen and lovely trimmed hats for the ladies and metal rattlers, for everybody, which produced more loud noise than Browne's Jazz Hound Orchestra while it was engaged in loudly playing "We Won't Go Home Until Morning," or something like that. The best of refreshments were served in the most lavish manner, including all kinds of sweet cakes, candy and so on, and plenty of cooling punch, a large bowl of which stood right in center of the table in a dining room, with a great stack of sanitary cups all White People Ward Shout With the God that Ward are on.

Leopold Moss and William E. Deffler. Mr. Roe, in introducing Maj. Jackson said: "The people of the Third Ward are to be congratulated in having a man of such high character as Maj. Robert R. Jackson, to represent them in the Board of Aldermen. "I have been severely criticised by some of my white friends for the aggressive fight which I have been making for the re-election of Alderman Jackson, but I am in ernest: I will not equivocate: I will not retreat a single inch and I will be heard. Robert R. Jackson is the best Alderman the Third Ward has ever around it and all the guests could from time to time stand around it, help themselves and eat and drink punch to their heart's content, and that also added to the home-like feature of the Jackson dancing party.

All mothers should know how and when the baby’s teeth are formed; also should be instructed in the care of its first teeth and mouth. They should be required to nurse their own babies for they can and should, since cows milk was made to make beef out of calves and not humans out of babies. ‘The baby should by all means have a well balanced diet; plenty of fruit juices and lots of sunshine, and last ut not least, the child's mouth should be kept as clean as possible at” all times. Under no circumstances should a pacifier be used or finger or thum sucking be permitted. The pre-school age is the age of the erupting of the temporary teeth. All the teeth should be in the mouth at the age of two and a half or three years. These teeth should last until the sixth or seventh year, when the first permanent tooth comes into place. Therefore the care of the first or tem- porary teeth is a matter of vital ime portance to the child. Children should be taught very early the use of the toothbrush, but through all the years of childhood, the mother should oversee and teach the child the importance of its use. ‘Under ideal conditions the child's teeth should be brushed five times each day, upon rising and retiring and after: each meal; but the brushing of them morning and evening must be insisted upon. In order to have strong, healthy teeth, the child’s food must be selected with that end in view. The jaws and teeth require plenty of exercise for growth and development, therefore, the child should be given each day something which it cannot swallow without chewing, such as zwieback, toast, crusts, etc. (Causes of Dental Decay Next Week) SOUTH GETS FIRST COLORED MAN AS CERTIFIED ACCOUNTANT New Orleans. —Mr. B.

We sailed from New York on Thanksgiving Day aboard the Ham- burg-American liner “Deutschland;” we touched the mainland of Europe nine days later. At Hamburg, Ger- many, we were forced to wait several days for a southbound vessel, sailing from that port on Dec. 18, aboard the Woermann liner “Este.” I had hoped within this time to have sent a long letter to the people of America to Jet them know our plans for the work of the coming next few years in Africa, but I have been so spent in body and mind and so busy in working out the smaller details that suoh a letter must be put off until a later date. We are now crossing the Bay of Biscay, and our ship, which seemed so great as man views his greatness, is being tossed about on the ocean's bil- lows as though the Almighty were bent on showing man his insignifi- cance.

JACKSON TO THE CITY COUNCIL, TUES DAY, FEBRUARY 24. (Continued from page 1) , “I have tried to represent all the sense. He sees with absolute clear- ness the true boundary which sep- arates men, He has a genius for mak- ing laws. He has a tenacity of pur- pose, a lofty and inflexible courage, an unbending will, which never quails or flinches before human antagonism. His ideal is the equality of oppor- tunity, and that is my ideal, He has labored for it, so have I. The immor- tal words of the preamble of the Dec- laration of Independence is his politi- cal creed, as it is mine; voicing as it does in terms of conviction, the aspira- tions of humanity. He is well acquainted with -munie- pal problems, with the wants of his people, with the requirements of the day and the demands of the future. He is well versed in the powers, duties and prerogatives of every department of the City Government. He will sacredly preserve the honor of the city and his own. His political reputation and private character is as spotless as a star and he has a certificate of good moral character, signed by the unani- mous vote of the Third Ward Repub- ican Organization. Robert R. Jackson is now and has for many years been the bearer of the sacred standard of the Republican Party. It is sacred because no man or woman can stand beneath its folds without becoming and without remain- ing free. He sides with the weak, the poor and wronged, and lovingly gives them alms, He has faithfully discharged all his public duties. He worships liberty and is a friend of the oppressed. A thousand times! Mave’ I heard. him quote Roosevelt's immortal words: “Better all men’ up, than one man down.” He is ambitious, but abhors its lust of self and place and power and does not long to wear upon his breast its worthless badge of distinction. He has keen thoughts of man, and sees behind the smiling mask of ¢raft—is not flattered by the obsequions cringe of gain and greed—knows the useless- ness of hoarded gold, of honor bought from those who charge the usury of self-respect, of power that bends the coward’s knee and forces from the lips Noe Seas hes Oe praiae, He''is not the tool of any man and wears no man's collar, He will tell you of his platform when he speaks. I urge all the good white people-to vote for him and save the honor of our ward from falling into the hands of grafters or their tools. Our next alderman will be one of our colored citizens. It behooves the good white people to join with the kood colored people and elect the best candidate. Maj.

I promise to see that our bath- ing beaches at 39th and 43rd streets now under construction and which I secured, are equipped as modern and as beautiful as any other-beaches in the city when completed. “4. I promise to complete my task (now under consideration) to secure a comfort station at 43rd street and In- diana avenue on the only vacant city Property owned by the city in our ward and the only location on which the city will build a comfort station. “3. I promise to defend the good name of my ward and our people who, reside in it against the vicious attack made against our living conditions by my opponent, his campaign backer and his newspaper. “6. I promise never to raise the question of where a man or woman was born and not to teach our south- ern folks to hate their northern broth- ers. “7. 1 promise to continue my fight for our people with the same energy, zeal and determination that has char- acterized my public life for the past 30 years. “8. I promise not to invade your homes using my official position to inquire into your living conditions in your flats and firesides, thereby dis- turbing the peace, quiet and tranquil- lity of your family circle. I believe in everyone attending to his own busi- ness and God, our Father, looks after us all. “9, I promise to secure fair and just representation in the matter of ap- pointments for the people of our ward, having more than 42 real appoint- ments to my credit at this time, which includes both colored and white. “10. I promise and pledge to never drag any gan, woman or child down, by assaulting their character and good name with vicious falsehoods and slan- derous accusations. I shall do as I have always done—extend the right hand of fellowship to my brother, de- fend him wherever he may be and fight for him wherever he may go. “Like Abraham Lincoln, I say: ‘I do the best I know; the very best I can; and I mean to keep on doing so until the end.

He is one of the best friends of the Colored race in that body and hundreds and hundreds of them will on Tuesday, February 24, assist him to make a home run back into the City Council. THE BANNER LIMITED, RUNNING ON THE OLD RELIABLE WABASH RAILROAD BETWEEN THIS CITY AND HOT SPRINGS, ARKANSAS, IS ONE OF THE FINEST PASSENGER TRAINS IN THE UNITED STATES something else for a change. Chicago's winter colony in Hot Springs is perhaps the largest colony of all, and Chicagoans are the most enthusiastic boosters of the winter resort. "There is no other train in the country that surpasses in comfort, safety and convenience our Banner Limited. The calendar indicates a long interval between the dead of winter and the heart of spring, but the Wabash Railway, in conjunction with the Missouri Pacific, narrows the time to only nineteen and a half hours. In other words, the Wabash can whisk a person out of the rigors of a Chicago winter into the very lap of balmy spring at Hot Springs, Ark., in that time. The Wabash is strongly featuring Hot Springs in its extension winter vacation service, and the arrangement with the Missouri Pacific is having a most gratifying appeal. These two lines afford unsurpassing service between Chicago and the Arkansas resort town, where, at this time, weather conditions are ideal for the tired business man and his family. Every year for decades Hot Springs has enjoyed popularity with Chicagooans, but this year, according to John Maloney, assistant general passenger agent of the Wabash, the traffic from Chicago to Hot Springs is shattering all previous records. Reservations are piling up, and there is no doubt that the end of the season will witness a new record of travel between the two cities. "The Banner Limited," the Wabash crack six, and one-half hour all-stair train to St. Louis, and the Missouri Pacific's "Sunshine Special," from St. Louis afford the transporting facilities. The run to St. Louis is by daylight, and the Banner Limited penetrates the most interesting part of Illinois—a section rich in scenery. The Banner Limited leaves Dearborn station at 11:30 A.M., daily, arriving in St. Louis at 6:00 P. M. The Sunshine Special departs from St. Louis at 6:45 P. M., arriving at Hot Springs at 7:00 A.M. "The Chicago-Hot Springs service is deserving of the best that the Wabash can offer," said Mr. Maloney, "for the traffic between the two cities has assumed very large proportions. Hot Springs is the nearest winter resort of note for Chicagoans, and they are completely 'sold' on that resort as a place in which to recuperate and enjoy all the attractions of invigorating spring. Every day is golf day in Hot Springs, and every day is horse-back riding day there. The hikes into the foothills, the delightful scenery and the health-laden air combine to bring the rosy pink to the most jaded cheeks. I have heard it said that a week or two in Hot Springs, with its famous baths, bring forth one of nature's greatest tonics. Everything seems made to order for the business man seeking respite from his activities and the women folk can find something to interest them all the time in the lovely Arkansas city. "One of the best ads for Hot Springs lies in the fact that Chicagoans go there year after year. There have been cases where vacation spots have been shifted, but evidently Hot Springs gets back all of those who try something else for a change. Chicago's winter colony in Hot Springs is perhaps the largest colony of all, and Chicagoans are the most enthusiastic boosters of the winter resort. "There is no other train in the country that surpasses in comfort, safety and convenience our Banner Limited. The Wabash management has left nothing undone to make this crack train stand out in general attractiveness. The Banner Limited is a veritable home on wheels—a home with all the comforts and conveniences, plus that personal attention of our trainmen that make for completeness. Solid steel from end to end, the Banner Limited embraces all approved safeguards against danger, and its record through all the years of its service is something of which the Wabash management is justly proud." THE TWAIN MEET Negro Gets Death Sentence; White Man Prison York, Pa., Jan. 27.—Two murderers have been sentenced, one to be electrocuted and the other to an indeterminate prison sentence. Arthur Jordan killed Wiley Fels, for which he must pay the penalty. Fred McLean, a white pugilist, killed Mrs. W. F. Abbott, of Paterson, N. J., for which he was convicted of second degree murder and has been sentenced to not less than seven nor more than nineteen years. Guilty of Manslaughter: Chef Slays Man Who Insults His Wife West Chester, Pa., Jan. 22—Octavus Henderson, well known chef of Wayne, entered a plea of guilty to manslaughter in court here, and had his sentence suspended until the latter part of the month. He had been charged with murder, but District Attorney Sproat agreed to accept the lesser plea, which carries a sentence of from 10 to 20 years. Henderson shot and killed Russell Thomas, of West Chester, during a picnic at Lenape Park, his victim being alleged to have insulted Mrs. Henderson.

The World In Passing From Russia comes the word that Leon Trotzky has been relieved of his duties as chairman of the Revolutionary War Council by the Central Executive Committee of the Communist Party, which is the most powerful political body in Russia. And thus the master mind of Lenin appears. While disarmament is being preached, and conferences there are scheduled to take place, news dispatches inform us that six United States destroyers have left Manila Bay for Shanghai, where factional leaders and military governors are contesting for possession of that city. There are now twelve destroyers off Shanghai. And to add to this Great Britain, so far from quitting Egypt, has fully displayed whatever is meant by "Teddy's Teeth," which proves conclusively how wise Germany is in "stooping to conquer." It is said that about 20,000 Europeans are now in Cuba awaiting the opportunity to slip over to the United States. Former Queen Maria Sophia Amelia of Naples, at the ripe old age of 84 years, dies in exile at Munich, Bavaria. Local Happenings of Interest Members of the Pennsylvania delegation, together with Senator Capper The hostess, Mrs. Jackson, was wonderful and charming in a gown of white chiffon, elaborately beaded in real pearls, silver cloth slippers, her hair was beautifully arranged in two large sized coils and she never did look so sweet and pretty as she did on that occasion. Madam Alelia Walker-Wilson of New York City, mother of Mrs. Jackson, was richly costumed in orchid velvet with deep flounce of gold lace and ostrich fan. Almost in the twinkling of an eye, Mrs. Jackson, by her winning ways, modest and most charming manner, has become the new social queen among the property-owning and tax-paying colored people residing in the great city of Chicago. have been named by President Coolidge to constitute the Sesqui-Centennial Committee. Women representing the G. O. P. hit the 20th Amendment, claiming that it would take down to Washington what is really a home question and should remain such. Workmen on the new Broad Street Subway discover creeks under ground. The first day in the campaign for funds for Jewish Charities has netted over $800,000. Rabbi Stephen S. Wise perhaps one of the most outstanding Jewish figures in present day life started the campaign with an address on "Contemporary Problems of Jewish Life in America." The synchronized signal light system is planned for extension throughout the city. The storm left much discomfort in its wake; perhaps those hardest hit were patrons of the trolley cars operated by the P. R. T. There was the wait, even far worse than before, almost suspended car service and numerous tie-ups, horses down on tracks, an automobile gone dead, and that "inevitable" coal cart. Injured in Street Car Collision As a result of misunderstanding of signals, ten persons were injured at 15th Street and Columbia Avenue when two cars collided. Traffic was delayed for twenty minutes. All the ten persons were slightly injured and carried to a hospital where their injuries were treated. Among those who were injured were Miss Eleanor Johns, of 2423 Ridge Avenue, and George Hallock, of 2143 Ridge Avenue. Along the Scarlet Line of Life Along the Scarlet Line of Life Robert Green, Lombard Street, near Fifteenth, and James Hill, Titan Street, near 22nd Street, have been arrested. Clifford White acuses these two young men of having held him up at 17th Street and Washington Avenue and robbing him of fifty dollars and a watch. Police have been asked to look for a girl, name unknown, who was employed as a maid at the home of Mrs. Millie Cohen, 219 South Farragut Terace. She disappeared during the absence of members of the family, taking with her about $200 worth of jewelry. A middle aged woman is sought on suspicion of having stolen $110 worth of jewelry from the home of Samuel Stein, 704 Ritner Street, where she had been employed to do some housecleaning. And she did! Dope Sellers Are Sentenced Judge Lewis in Quarter Sessions Court, sentenced William Williams to two years and six months in the county prison after Williams had been convicted of selling drugs. William Nelson pleaded guilty of using drugs and has been sentenced to the House of Correction for one year. He said he bought the drugs from Williams. What Are You Going to Do When the Rent Comes Back? A survey of rent rates throughout the city shows that rents are higher today by 14 per cent than in 1923. Over 56 per cent of the small dwellings had their rents increased in the last year. This affects mostly members of the race who are compelled to live in the cheaper houses, mostly shacks, with no conveniences at all, and in many instances places that have to be "chinked up" to keep out the wintry blasts. Evidently He Has Kleptomania Evidently He Has Kleptomania Samuel Smith has such a taking way about him. He actually is charged with having stolen metal and type valu- ed at $1,500 from the Bingham Company, Juniper and Cherry Streets, where he was employed. Magistrate Pennock held him in $2,000 bail for a further hearing. Real Disarmament: 25 Guns Some kind friend (?) tipped the police off and acting on this, Detectives Lee and Harrigan of the Thirty-eighth district arrested three men and a woman. It is alleged that more than $1,000 worth of stolen goods was found, clothing and other articles being in the loot. To add to this, the officers state that twenty-five revolvers of various makes and patterns were found. Charged for Bonus Blanks; Is Locked Up Police arrested Napoleon B. Ellis, who was held in $1,000 bail for Court when arranged before United States Commissioner Manley at the Federal Building. Assistant Chief of the Department of Justice, S. Busha, on duty here, charged Ellis with violation of the War Adjusted Compensation Act recently passed by Congress, in that Ellis charged colored war veterans two dollars for the blanks and one dollar for filling them in. In the Family Wash Before it is hung on a Neighbor's clothesline, friend Neighbor would like to know what caused the real trouble in the 1800 block, North Mervine Street, a few nights ago? Who was the young society woman, recently wed, who trailed her husband and "some rare female of the species, more deadly than the male" up there. She promised to start something, and says she will tell all at the proper time. Now is the proper time. So on! MEN CAUGHT IN RAIDS SUR PRISED WITH FINES AND COSTS The circle really widens now when one is caught in the net in raids. Seventy-five men were rounded up in various raiding parties. Instead of being dismissed as is usual, those arrested Saturday night and Sunday were charged with gambling and frequenting a gambling house and each was fined five dollars and costs. The raids made included one on Sloan Street, near Market, where nine were corralled; Alder Street, near Berks, where twenty-three were found sand-wiched in; Lombard Street near 19th, yielded about ten, and at Seventeenth near South, thirty-four "lounge lizards or chair warmers" were rounded up.

Jackson will be re-elected to the City Council from his ward on Tuesday, February 24. IN THE REALM OF HIGHER THINGS Colored Catholics to Have Parish It has been estimated that there are more than 400 colored Catholics in the neighborhood of 39th and Haverford Avenue, where has been recently established a new parish. Cardinal Dougherty is of the opinion that there is a great need for a Catholic parish in West Philadelphia, and the establishment of this parish promises to be a nucleus of activity among the colored people of that section. This new parish, it is said, will cater also to the thousands of colored persons in West Philadelphia who have no religious or church affiliation whatever. A Sunday school has already been opened in connection with the new parish and an adult instruction class has been started. The Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament, whose work is devoted entirely to the care of Indians and colored people, are assisting in the instruction classes. The new parish is in charge of Rev. Vincent A. Dever. URGES RACE TO LEAD WHOLE SOME LIVES Before an audience that packed the large edifice, the Rev. William A. Harfrod, pastor of the First African Baptist Church, urged his hearers to lead clean, wholesome lives. He urged them to make their religion a practical, workable every day religion of lofty purpose, clean thinking, fair dealing, and consistent practice of serving others. "Rise above yourselves; appeal for the right, the good, the true, the unselfish," pleaded Dr. Harfrod. "No matter how dark or forbidding things may seem to you, refuse to waver or to doubt." SOCIAL NEWS AND BRIEFS Mr. and Mrs. George A. Johnson Entertain The cozy home of Mr. and Mrs. George A. Johnson in St. Albans Street presented a bright and colorful picture when bright the light shone o'er fair women and gallant men, to say the least.

He is now in the Douglas Hospital. While he was suffering as the result of this accident, his establishment was entered and his entire stock of exquisite lingerie and silks carried off. No trace has been found of the theives. DEATHS OF THE WEEK A Good Woman Passes Mrs. Esther DeLyon, of 702 South 17th Street, died on Thursday, January 15.
