SOCIETY NEWS PUBLISHED FREE THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, MARCH 28, 1925 St. Mark's Church Collects Rents For Property Which It Owns, Amounting From $15,000 to $20,000 per Year. It was near onto two o'clock in the afternoon of Thursday, March 5, in company with Rev. Robinson that the writer departed from the law offices of Hon. William Sulzer, 115 Broadway, boarded an elevated train and in twenty-five minutes from that time we walked into the lovely home of Rev. and Mrs. John W. Robinson, at 237 W. 53rd Street, and Mrs. Robinson, who is just as lovely and as beautiful as she was when a beautiful blushing bride, twenty years ago, their highly accomplished daughter, Miss F. Marjory Robinson, who has developed into a very charming and sensible young lady and grandma Mrs. Carrie Knight were all greatly delighted to warmly greet us and while the ladies were engaged in making a fuss over us, all that Rev. Robinson could do was to stand around and look wise. As stated before that we caught a frightful cold while fanning around from city to city and we had a big bottle of medicine sticking out of the top of our inside overcoat pocket and as Mrs. Robinson spied it, she wanted to know if we had taken any of it lately, and we responded, no that we had been so busy that we had forgotten all about the medicine. Then she took it out of our overcoat pocket, and she went and brought forth a teaspoon and after reading the directions on the bottle she asked when did we take the last dose of it and we informed her that it had been some time, but we were unable to remember just how long it had been and we requested her to give us two teaspoonfuls at one time and that would make up for lost time. Mrs. Robinson said, "No, the directions on the bottle don't say that you must take two doses at one time, so open your mouth and take one dose of your medicine right now and you will do no fanning around late tonight." Not long after we had drank our last dose of medicine, Rev. Robinson and the writer enjoyed a light lunch he had ordered his car to be brought forth, the very same auto which he lugged with him from this city to New York almost two years ago and while waiting for it Miss Marjory Robinson rendered several selections on piano for our special benefit. She sang and played one of her own compositions and her father joining in the songs which sounded mighty good to us. Miss Marjory is taking instructions on the piano from one of the best German teachers in the great city of New York, and he does not hesitate in declaring to all the world that she possesses rare musical talent and that if she lives she is bound to make her mark in the musical world. Miss Marjory is far enough advanced in her lessons on the piano to give instructions to all others who are not so far advanced as she is in that direction and at the present she has quite a number of pupils taking piano lessons from her. At the present time she is taking special courses of study at the great Columbia University, New York, city and as Miss Marjory has been one of our warm friends ever since she was a small bright little girl we feel proud of her accomplishments to the present time. At the end of the piano playing and singing Rev. Robinson was at the wheel and aside from him those seated in it were. Miss Marjory Robinson, Miss Naomi Phillips of that city; Mrs. L. B. Jones of Chicago, and Mr. Julius F. Taylor, also of this city. Several hours were consumed in sightseeing in that wonderful city and we noticed many highly interesting sights. The first stop was made at the Columbia University, where Miss Marjory studied her lessons for the remainder of the afternoon and evening. The next stop was made at the Hotel Olga 695 Lennox ave. at 145th street subway station where our suit cases were placed in the auto and before wending our way home. Rev. Robinson drove past several apartment houses and stores located right in the best part of Harlem which belong to St. Mark's Church and they rent for almost twenty thousand dollars per year. We also inspected the plot of ground where the new or the greater St. Mark' Church will be constructed by one of the greatest preachers in the M. E. Church. Rev. John W. Robinson who with the able assistance of his Lord understands how to do big things. The new St. Mark's when completed will cost five hundred thousand dollars, and it will be by far the finest church in the world owned by colored people. It will be located right in the center or the heart of the colored population of Harlem, it will occupy two hundred feet on Edgecomb ave., sixty seven feet on 138th street, 199 feet on St. Nicholas ave., 34 feet on 137th street. The ground which is located near a lovely little park which has some beautiful shade trees in it cost fifty thousand dollars and it is all paid for. Aside from that St. Mark's Church owns 112 feet of ground where it has been located for many years, at 237 West 53rd street and that 112 feet of ground today is worth between two to two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. There is an up-to-date Parish house on it consisting of three apartments and Rev. Robinson and his family occupy the first apartment and the other two are rented out to members of his church. At the present time St. Mark's Church has more than two thousand members. HIGHLY INTERESTING MUSICAL TO BE HELD AT THE NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF MUSIC, 4427 GRAND BOULEVARD Sunday afternoon at 4:30 P.

DUNBAR WINS ANNUAL ADAMS PRIZE DEBATE AT HAMPTON INSTITUTE C. D. Stevens Announces Winners in Adams Essay Contest—Program Includes Interesting Musical Numbers Hampton, Va.—Whether or not the United States should operate and control the Muscle Shoals Water power plant was recently debated in Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute, by two of the Hampton student literary societies. A large and enthusiastic audience listened to the debate. The affirmative argument was presented by these members of the Dunbar Literary Society: James T. Massey, Summerville, S. C.; William A.

Adams, well-known New York lawyer, who each year also offers prizes of the successful winners in an essay contest. Clarence D. Stevens, director of the Hampton Institute School of Business, presided. He announced the following winners in the Adams Essay Contest: first prize, collegiate division, gold medal to Lionel B. Fraser, St Croix, Virgin Islands, "Japanese Immigration into the United States"; second, silver, Winnie Louise Thomas, Norfolk, Va., "Co-education in Secondary Schools"; first prize, secondary division, gold medal, P.

CAUSE, EFFECT AND REMEDIES, ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES that's why John wondered who was able to make war with him. When Pharaoh turned the children Copyrighted 1925 by W. M. B. Wadley Our good old United States of America, and World's present day ills are caused by our law makers making laws contrary to the Scriptures. Our Constitution was made up from the Holy Bible, Home Brew and Bear Arms. Then came the 18th amendment, infringing on the original Constitution, because a clique, or a Klan seem to think it's a good thing to reach their aim. No Prohibitionist, real Christian, Christ blessed the wine. Financial cause, effect and a remedy, read St. Matthew, 25 chap., 27 verse: "Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchange, and then at my coming, I should have received mine own with usury." Big companies, firms and corporations: Over-capitulated, which cause over production by issuing stocks and bonds, with plenty of surplus money, and gamble on them, instead of using the cash. The income from the gambling may amount to great sums, but the business is at a stand-still and causes idleness among the laborers. cause injustices among the labors. First Peter 4th chapter, 17th verse: "For the time to come, that judgment must begin at the house of God." Psalm, 68 chapter, 31 verse: "Ethiopia shall soon stretch her hand unto God." Then comes the Ku Klux Klan with their interracial conference and changing pulpits with the Negroes, that he knows is not from his heart. If it were, he would preach to his own people to stop lynching and Jim-Crowing the people that have stretched forth his hand, as it started in Atlanta, Georgia. One of those preachers came to Chicago, preached in the colored church, and the Negro minister felt that he ought to return with the white brethren to Atlanta together on a sleeping car. The mob met them at the "Mason and Dixon line," and jeopardized their lives. I am very much afraid that the good white minister could be the first to tie the rope. Jehovah's God wants all to come to Him. Why make a "specialty" to change pulpits with the Ethiopian? Change with the Jew and the Catholic also. St. Mark, 10th chapter, 4th verse: "And Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement." Christ says to have one wife, while some men marry four and five times, contrary to the teaching of the Bible. Some states have laws that the girls must be 21 years old to marry, the record of Cook County, Chicago, Illinois, shows that a colored and white girl gave birth to babies, one 10 years old and the other 11. If the offspring would be as fast, they would be grandmothers before old enough to marry. Uniform divorce law for United States; one wife, one marriage law. When a girl becomes old enough to marry, according to the Scripture, 13th chapter, Revelation, 3rd verse: "And I saw one of the head, his head as it wore, wounded to death, and his deadly wound was healed, and all the world wondered after the beast." Any man that follows after the Great Beast, which is Satan, devil, Marcus Garvey with his black "Supremacy." K. K. K. with its white "Supremacy." The Catholic holding tight through the "brotherhood and Labor Unions." --- able to make war with him. When Pharaoh turned the children of Israel loose, Pharaoh and his host followed. All were drowned in the Red Sea. Then comes the "Bollweaver" in the south to run the colored man away from his enemy. Soon after the Ku Klux Klans followed, now he finds that the Catholic set tight against him, and the Negroes, too, in a way of jobs. Now if the "Great Beast" starts to prosecute some of the good old people that believe in God, then we can look to see a twister (better known) cyclone or a tornado to hit Lake Michigan around about old Chicago, Illinois, and drown many thousands of people, and all the cities that border on the great chain of lakes, just as soon as the Great Beast, old "Satan" began to predominate. Read 1st chapter Job, and the 18th verse: "And behold there came a great wind from the wilderness and smote the four corners house, and it fell upon the young men." Twenty-fourth chapter of St. Matthew, 7th verse: "For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be famines and pestilences and earthquakes in diverse places." When the "Great Beast," old Satan, the devil, commences to show his hatred, then the Lord will give our great city of New York a shake, (better known) earthquake. Now to prolong the calamity, stop the whites from holding all the jobs, such as locomotive engineers, firemen, brakemen, switchmen and conductors. Almighty God sent the man, the Ethiopian with his outstretched hand, and white man shut the door of hope in his face. Give the Negroes the jobs, and just tell them that you will back them. Only a matter of a few years and you wouldn't hear of the Great Beast. The Christian religion is based on three principles, Faith, Hope and Charity. He will not ask for any favors from you if you will open the door of labor to him. The Ku Klux Klan and the "Great Beast" may some day make war with some nation. Those who have taken part in the lynching of four thousand Negroes in the United States when marching out on the battlefield, may see the ghost of a regiment and part of a battalion staring them in the face. Just one thing for the Ethiopian, alias Negroes, to pray to God and get ready to go back to Africa and his native land because they are going to destroy the country. Thirteenth chapter, 7th verse: "And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them, and power was given him over all kindred and tongues and nations." SPORTS AS IS—THE REFLEX MAGAZINE A study of our boys, who are making and breaking records in the world of athletics, is conveyed to the reader through the pages of the Reflexus Magazine, a publication now on the news stands, coming out of Chicago. The writer had the opportunity of looking over their sporting section, and hereby wishes to advise readers that nowhere in the country, has a more complete index of the worth of our athletes, expressed, than through these pages. Here's hoping for the success of the Reflexus. May it keep up the good work it has started. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, MARCH 28, 1925. COL. CHARLES E. STUMP, THE REGULAR OLD - TIME TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AX, STILL CONTINUES TO ENJOY HIMSELF WHILE BASKING IN THE BRIGHT SUNSHINE OF FLORIDA. Tallahassee, Florida—There is no question about it in my mind now, my people are interested in education, and we are no longer sitting down complaining about what others fail to do for us, but we are simply going down in our pocket and doing for ourselves, and then if friends want to help we are willing to accept it. I saw the doctrine of "Help Yourself," displayed a few days ago as I have never seen it before, and I just had to shout right out, "Praise the Lord, the Negro is waking up," and as he wakes up put it down that I told you he is doing something. The waiters and bellmen of the Royal Ponianca hotel, Palm Beach, Florida, headed by Joseph S. McLane, headwaiter, placed on the table $1,600 for the Florida Normal and Industrial Institute, St Augustine, Florida, Sunday afternoon, March 15, and they seemed to be happy to do it in the name of education for the youth, and expressed a willingness to do more in the future. Just before the time to serve dinner, the meeting was staged, and at the head of it was Joseph S. McLane, who made all the arrangements and who without a doubt is one of the greatest men of this race of ours. You do not hear much about him, for he is not in the papers, and he is a modest man, but I believe he knows to the square inch more millionaires in America than any other one man belonging to our group. But with all of this he is interested in his race, and has pledged to do something for education and missions every year. This he has told God and he is living up to it. One year ago, Mr. McLane was at the dedication of the first permanent building of the Florida Normal and Industrial Institute, which cost $50,000, and was dedicated by the Governor of the state. He saw the mere naked building and heard the plans for furnishing it. After many had pledged chairs and other kinds of seating, and when it was announced that it would cost $500 to furnish a room, it was then that he stepped forward and said, "I will furnish one room in memory of my departed son, Joseph S. McLane, Jr., and then I will pledge one room for the waiters and bellmen of Royal Ponianca." At the opening of the season he had the men together and told them what he had done, and they pledged to back him in his pledge. As the season was drawing to a close, he invited Prof. Collier to come down, and the meeting was staged for 5:30 Sunday afternoon. All the help at the hour appointed assembled in the dining room, and the guests of the hotel had been invited to be present also. Hence about 500 help and about 300 guests made up the audience. Prof. L. A. Payne led in singing the Jubilee songs, which were sung by the help. Then followed a practical talk by Mr. McLane, who announced that in addition to the waiters and bellmen, the officers had declared that they wanted a part in it, hence they had also pledged five hundred dollars and would pay the same. Mr. McLane told the wealthy of the hotel that the Negro was no longer going around with his hand out asking for alms, but he was taking the position of a man and was willing to help himself, and then after he has gone his length, if friends desired to help him, he would accept of it. He pre- "NIGGER" SCHOOL BOOKS THROWN OUT Cambridge School Committee Acts at Investigation of Mayor Who Was Requested by League at Attucks Meeting. More Leaflets on Request Boston, Mass.—The Boston Branch of the National Equal Rights League scored a big victory for racial respect as the result of a public request made at the closing Attucks Day Mass Meeting upon Mayor Edward Quinn of Cambridge by Wm. Monroe Trotter, school books carrying history reading exercises with frequent use of the word "Nigger" and gross plantation dialect, were formally removed from the schools by the Cambridge School Committee. The Superintendent brought the matter before the Committee at the request of the Mayor, to whom Rev. D. S. Klugh, Executive Chairman and Albert G. Wolff, Esg. sented Charles Stewart of Chicago, general missionary of the National Baptist Convention, who made an address. He talked as I had never heard him before. He commended the efforts of Mr. McLane, and the waiters and bellmen. He said that the successful handling of the thousands of people who had been guests of the hotel during the season was due to leadership and then training. "Some of the best scholars in this country can be found among these waiters," he said, "and you have a man and a scholar in the headwaiter, with whom these men have co-operated. They have all learned that which Prof. N. W. Collier is instilling into the minds of the youth of our race, 'Industry, honesty and reliability.'" Prof. Collier was the next speaker and he told of the work of the school, the necessity of a trained man in every walk of life. His address was to the point, and delivered eloquently, claiming the attention of all, and bringing forth enthusiastic applause. When Prof. Collier was through, then Mr. McLane placed two men at the table and the help marched up and placed on the table their contribution, Mr. McLane his five hundred, and five hundred from the officers, and the guests left their contribution as they went out the odor, with some exceptions who said they would turn over checks the next day. Just how much they gave I do not know, as I have not been back to St. Augustine, but it was a substantial contribution I am safe in saying, and we discharged our duty. All hats off to the waiters, for it is the first time in the history of our country that this class of men have contributed so much to the cause of education. So much for an educated Christian leadership as is found in Joseph S. McLane. When I wrote you that other letter, I was in Jacksonville, but since then I have been to Palm Beach, to Miami, St. Augustine, back to Jacksonville, and then out here to see Prof. J. R. E. Lee, who is one of the most noted educators of this race of ours. He had left the school room and just how the officials of Florida succeeded in getting him back to a run down school, I am unable to say, but he is here just the same and he is doing wonderful things. He is not ready to talk much and will not be until after the meeting of the Legislature next month, and you may then expect to hear great things from Florida. The ability, and what it takes to do things is to be found in Prof. Lee. You can see wonderful changes already, and he has been here only since last September. Associated with him are some of the best men and women of the country, and about them I will talk another time. New buildings are to be erected, and other things accomplished. Just think of it, I have covered over 11,000 miles since I left John A. Andrew Hospital, or since Dr. Eugene H. Dibble Jr., wrote the word "Discharged," on my chart, and Mr. Shee hee accompanied me as far as Montgomery. I am on the go and will continue. Look out for me in the future. I will write you next from another point in Florida. I will bring this letter to a stop just now, but will write again. CHARLES E. STUMP. Secretary of the Local Branch sent a warm letter of thanks. The League has issued notice to the race that another rare opportunity to bring out soldier service by Colored men in the founding of the country will occur on June 17, when the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill, first pitched battle of the War of the Revolution, will be elaborately observed by the City of Boston and State of Massachusetts, with the national government taking part through a Commission appointed by President Coolidge. Peter Salem, Colored, killed the British commander, Brazilai Lew was a fifer, Salem Poor and others are recorded as fighting. A leaflet will be prepared and all who send requests in advance, to determine number to have printed, will be mailed a copy by Wm. Monroe Trotter, Secretary, 103 Court St. So great has been the demand for the Attucks Leaflet that a second edition is being printed and a two-cent stamp to Secretary Trotter will bring one by return mail. [Name] HON. U. S. SCHWARTZ Highly honored member of the Fourth Ward; the able Cha Transportation, who conti improve the street car syst BITTER FIGHT ON BETWEEN THE MEMBERS OF THE ROYAL CIRCLE OF FRIENDS OF THE WORLD Highly honored member of the City Council from the new Fourth Ward; the able Chairman of its Committee on Local Transportation, who continues to work hard to greatly improve the street car system in every way in this city. A protest meeting of Royal Circle of Friends of the World was held at Williamson's Chapel, 5121 State St., Thursday evening, March 19, which was participated in by Revs. Bryson, Harvey, Stewart, Peterson, and the Presidents of The Williamson and the Jones Circles, and a great number of members of these circles. The cause of the protest was that the Supreme President. R. A. Williams, had issued a statement to the organization that they had cash assets of $643,142.41 and the solvency of the 2127 Circles was 106 per cent and at the same time he discontinued the payment of sick dues for 90 days and had bought a 38-flat building on Grand Boulevard. That the law requires all Circles to forward their money to the Grand Secretary in Arkansas, but R. A. Williams requires all money paid to him by check made to him. An investigation was made in the State Insurance Department of Illinois which made the members suspicious as to the handling of the finances. The brothers and sisters are very much worked up over the matter of the suspension of the payment of sick dues, and the demand of R. A. Williams that all checks of the Circle money be made to him personally. In his report he shows no liabilities or real estate, except a hospital which was stated had been taken from him and turned over to a person named Thompson in the south. The State Insurance Department of Illinois has been called to the actions of R. A. Williams, the Supreme President in the conduct of the Royal Circle affairs. Two of the Presidents of local Circles have resigned, and the members are very much worked up over the treatment given the members who have paid their dues, while the Supreme President is buying expensive flat buildings. They also feel that Mr. Williams has usurped the authority of the Supreme Council, by directing the funds of the order to be sent him in his name instead of to the Grand Secretary. The meeting was largely attended and was addressed by J. H. Porter, N. C. Chalmers, Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams. Dr. R. A. Williams, the Supreme President, while riding around in high powered cars and the sick members being denied sick dues. They want to know why. Phyllis Wheatley Club meets Wednesday, April 1, at 3256 Rhodes Ave. at 2 P. M. Speaker, Miss Goldsmith of the University of Chicago. Visitors are welcome. Mesdames Blanch Gilmer, Eugene Tylor and Mrs. Elizabeth Lindsay Davis motored to Springfield this week to attend the Central District Federation March 26 and 27. PERSONAL Freedom of the press is the fundamental of democracy and no democracy can endure without it, Carl McGee, editor of the New Mexico State Tribune of Albuquerque, the man credited with having smashed Senator A. B. Fall's political ring in that state, said Wednesday. He spoke at a luncheon at the Illinois Athletic club under the auspices of the Allied Newspapers, Inc. At the request of Stuart S. Schuyler, vice president of the Allied Newspapers, Mr. McGee told something of the fight he made against the corrupt political rings of this state, how the politicians in the control of the courts tried to send him to prison or drive him out of the newspaper business, how the people of his state came to his support in the uneven battle, enabling him to break one after the other of the political bosses until he had won the fight. "They had six times led an editor up to the gates of the penitentiary and then made him promise to get out of business or go inside," Mr. McGee said. "They did it to me, but I beat them. I made up my mind that, stand or fall, I would fight that, and I fought and beat them in the end." CCOLIDGE SENDS LETTER TOUCHING RACE RELATIONS Cincinnati, March 26.—The movement for adjustment of race relations was indorsed by President Calvin Coolidge in a letter read before the national interracial conference which opened last night. Addressed to George E. Haynes, secretary of the commission on church and racial relations, and Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America, the letter read: "The evidence of developing public opinion in support of co-operation among the racial groups in this country is a matter of satisfaction to all who have the nation's best interests at heart. The development of the interracial understanding thru co-operative plans, and the action of leaders of the races in local communities has contributed largely to this increasing good will. "I feel the national interracial conference called . . . to bring local leaders from many states to exchange experiences and compare policies and plans is worthy of endorsement and support by all who are interested in effective adjustment of race relations. "I send my wishes for success to the two commissions and to this interracial conference." RETURN FROM VISIT Mrs. Lou Ella Young. 4114 Calumet Ave, D.G.M.N.G. of Eden Grand District Households of Ruth of Illinois and jurisdiction, in company with Mrs. Pearl Randolph-Winston, has returned from an official visit to the Household of Ruth at Joliet, Ill. They report the work advancing and all are looking forward to an excellent grand session at Mounds, Ill., during the summer. 1925 HEALTH PROMOTION WEEK PROGRAM Sunday, April 26: Health Sunday Health sermons and talks should be given before congregations and other gatherings. Nothing can be more appropriate or conform more closely to the teachings of the Master than to instruct people in the important matter of healthful living. Monday, April 27: Physical Examination Day Adults should be encouraged to see physicians and dentists for a complete examination in order to detect and take preventive action against incipient diseases that may be present. Parents should take advantage of this opportunity to have their children immunized against diphtheria. An average of 10,000 children needlessly suffer and about 1,000 needlessly die from this disease every year in Illinois. Wednesday, April 29: Vaccination Day Surveys to determine the number of unvaccinated children should be made and efforts employed to stimulate this important smallpox prevention. During January, February and March of this year smallpox in Illinois was 5 times more prevalent than in 1924. Inquiries into the character and source of milk and water supplies should be undertaken. It must be remembered that cooking destroys disease germs and that milk and water are two of the very few products which are easily and frequently contaminated, that are consumed raw. Friday, May 1: Child Health Day Every community should participate in this National Child Health Day by holding well baby conferences, conducting health playlets and singing health songs in the schools, undertaking parades, etc. Saturday. May 2; Good Food Day Families should be encouraged to lay in an ample supply of food for a real reast on Sunday with the end in view of providing a well balanced diet appropriate for each individual. It will require some study to secure a properly balanced diet. MISS LOUISE BOND In another column of this newspaper there appears each week a "Questionnaire," which is edited by Miss Louise Bond. Saturday, March 28th, is the birthday of this writer and it is my desire to wish her many happy returns of the day. is edited by Miss Louise Bond. Saturday, March 28th, is the birthday of this writer and it is my desire to wish her many happy returns of the day. It has been learned that this writer is the youngest of her sex actively engaged in journalistic work and her earnest efforts deserve commendation. There are few persons of Miss Bond's age traveling life's rugged pathway without the companionship of a father, who was indeed her pal, who can merit the praise and admirations her many friends have for her. Her journalistic aspirations have been greatly encouraged by her loving and devoted mother, Mrs. Bond, and many are the readers who appreciate and enjoy the secrets of knowledge that the Questionnaire reveals to them each week. AMATEUR MINSTREL CLUB The Amateur Minstrel Club announces its annual frolic at the Eighth Regiment Armory Easter Monday night. Cook's Dreamland Orchestra has already been booked for the occasion, supporting in the minstrel show and dispensing dazzling, sizzling syncopation for the dance. If you've sworn off dancing—better stay away—for Cook will surely make you step. For the minstrel show the boys are preparing a new and sparkling program with oodles of jazz, harmony and fun. All the old favorites will be in the line-up. Last year, with the support of the press and a generous public, the Minstrels were able to burn the mortgage on the Old Folks Home, thus freeing it of debt. But the Home must be maintained and the old folks made comfortable; the present quarters must be enlarged to meet the demands for admission. So the boys are going to try to establish an endowment fund. Twenty-eight years of honest voluntary service for charity ought to commend this effort to the whole of Chicago. By Charlie Stewart Jr. TO EXTEND PRACTICE IN INDIANA Attorney Elam H. Johnson 3429 Indiana Avenue has successfully passed the prescribed examination given by the Courts of the State of Indiana thereby qualifying himself to practice law in that state. Attorney Johnson is congratulated by his many friends for many are the activities he is engaged in for the best interest and advancement of his friends and his race. As Supreme President of the Golden Gate Society of America he is director of one of the organizations which promised to be the one greatest of its kind. NEGRO JANITOR. VETERAN. DECORATED FOR HEROISM St. Louis, March—A retired Negro sergeant of the United States army, now a janitor at the St. Louis postoffice, was given a distinguished service cross today by Maj. Gen. George B. Duncan, in the presence of the Sixth Infantry at Jefferson Barracks, for heroism fighting Fillipino insurrection December 7, 1899. BIRTHDAY SUPRISE PARTY Mrs. Lottie Callaway 521 East 49th Street, was a recipient of a most agreeable birthday surprise party given by friends and members of the Signet Club last Monday evening. She received several beautiful tokens one of which she highly prized was a beautiful table lamp given by the members of the club. Light refreshments were served and all present thoroughly enjoyed the evening as well as did the hostess. Among those present were: Mesdames Susie W. Turner, Clara Robison, Emily Field, Emuice Akers, Elvie Stewart, Marion Krafft, Edna Simpson, Beulah Slusser, Anna Christmas, Rose VanHorn, Susie McGee, Emma Diggs, Sallie Johnson, Parthenia Jordan, M. Perkins, Misses Hope and Margaret Dunnmore, Messrs. South and Henson. It is gratifying to the people of our group to know that the Supreme Court of the state of Virginia has been honest enough to reverse the bias conviction of the venerable editor, John J. Mitchell, Jr., who was convicted in Hasting County, Va., charged with misusing funds of the Merchants Saving Bank. The court ruled that the prosecution had failed to prove Editor Mitchell's guilt and directed that the lower court grant a new trial. It is to be hoped that should there be a new trial that the editor will at least be tried upon law and evidence. Editor Mitchell has been the man of service to the Negro race in the state of Virginia. * * * Illinois met with the greatest disaster of its time. Men, women, and children enjoying the best of health in school and other vocations of life were suddenly swept to an untimely grave. Cities and villages that were the administration of its inhabitants like a flash of lightening were swept into a mass of debris. The state and the nation are called upon to lend their mite to rehabilitate a more substantial section. We the citizens of Chicago gave our surgeons and nurses that life and limbs might be saved for those who might become a part of the new city and this aid will enable to have a better mind toward the righteousness and justness to mankind. The destructive winds are the fore runners that we might better understand the teachings of the scripture lessons that tell the story of what is to be expected when the curtain of time will close down on mother earth. This, it is believed, is a catastrophe which will make a better and broader personal citizenship that shall join hand in mind together for the reconstruction of their homes. Time cannot wipe out the sad picture painted by this tornado. Every citizen in Illinois rich and poor should contribute his mite to re-establish this section on the firm, honest better governing commonwealth. RED CAP'S NEWS The regular monthly meeting of the Red Cap's Literary Club will be held on Sunday, April 5th, at tour P. M. Hon. John S. Drennan, gen'l attorney of the I. C. R. R. will preside and state Senator Adelbert H. Roberts will be the principal speaker. Good music will be an interesting feature. Sandy W. Trice, Pres. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, MARCH 28.1925 This Building Located at 3118 Giles Avenue Is the Property and the Home of the Peoples Church and the Metropolitan Community Center. Reverend W. D. Cook, Pastor and Director; Mr. Sandy W. Trice, Assistant Director; Reverend A. J. Bowling, Assistant Pastor. THE BROADWAY COMMUNITY CENTER The Peoples Church and Metropolitan Community Center organized four and one-half years ago, has won its place among the most progressive churches in our city. Its feeble beginning, with sixteen charter members, has grown to a membership of nearly three thousand. At its early growth it entered into the spirit of community service and practical Christianity. The church is inter-denominational, non-sectarian, broadly humanitarian, serving all the people. To this end they purchased the commodious, well appointed Community House, located at 3118-3122 Giles Avenue, at a cost of fifty-five thousand dollars. This building contains three halls, one seating six hundred and fifty, the recital hall, seating four hundred and containing a two-manuel pipe organ, and a smaller hall, seating one hundred and fifty; two seven-room flats, parlors, reception rooms, music rooms, directors' room and nine smaller rooms on the fourth floor. The activities of the church and center take place in this building. All week-day services, the meetings of all the clubs and auxiliaries of the church and center are held in the Community House.

The church has purchased and paid for the lot at Pershing Road and Vernon Avenue. The lot cost twelve thousand dollars, where they are planning to build their church. The Sunday services are held in the Auditorium of Wendell Phillips High School. The morning service is entirely spiritual, following closely the usual church service. The evening service, under the direction of a committee appointed by the pastor, is designated as The Metropolitan Community Center Sunday Evening Club. This club is an outstanding feature of our Community Service. It is a forum where all questions, civic, moral, religious and industrial are freely discussed from the rostrum. Organizations having as their object the uplift of the people, are given an opportunity to present their merits to the vast audiences that assemble every Sunday night. The Community Service Dept. touches every human need. Its creed is to preach the gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ; to lead men and women to accept Christ as their personal Saviour; to aid men and women to lead better lives; to visit the sick and the shut-ins; to visit the hospitals, jails and homes of the unfortunate; to find employment for the unemployed; to feed the hungry; clothe the naked and furnish shelter for the homeless. The choir of one hundred and fifty voices, under the direction of Prof. J. Wesley Jones, is recognized as the leading choir in this city and the northwest. It has sung at all the large conventions which have been held in Chicago by our group. Through the business methods of the Board of Directors (which is composed of trustees and stewards) the finances have been carefully managed. The books have been audited each year by a public accountant. A quarterly review of all matters is held; all reports are itemized and approved by the membership of the church and center. Both treasurers are bonded. All bills are paid by checks bearing three signatures. The following representative citizens constitute the Board of Directors: Mr. Sandy W. Trice, Dr. Merwyn R. Bibb, Mr. Frank Jiles, Dr. Roscoe C. Giles, Mr. H. A. Watkins, Mr. William Winston, Mr. J. Hickman Black, Mr. B. F. Davis, Mr. B. H. Johnson, Mr. Z. T. Blevins, Mr. L. P. Carruthers, Mr. Charles Basey, Mr. C. J. Williams, Dr. Edward W. Murray, Secretary, Mr. William J. Morsell, treasurer, Mr. John Washington Church, clerk. HUBBARD KEEPS ON BREAK. ING 'EM Out in the West, De Hart Hubbard, the Cincinnati youth, who has broken many a record in broad jump and the hop, step and jump, comes to the fore again. Last week, running for his school, he equalled the world's record for the 50-yard dash. The youth is the last of the old school, and though his star is still in its ascendency it will some day fall. Youngsters, train hard. We need more Hubbards, Gourdins, Dismonds, Drews, Wests and others of like ilk. INTERRACIAL COMMITTEE OF GEORGIA MEETS Plans Campaign for Anti-Lynching Law, Educational Advance, and Justice in Courts Atlanta, Ga., March 26.—Enactment of an effective anti-lynching law, provision of a state institution for delinquent colored girls, survey of housing conditions, and the securing for colored people of more adequate educational advantages, better conditions of travel, and justice in the courts, were among the immediate objectives set by the Georgia Committee on Interracial Co-operation at its recent annual meeting in this city. Sixty members of the committee were present from all sections of the state, both races being represented by leading ministers, educators, business and professional men, social workers and club women. It was unanimously agreed that the effort for more effective legislation against lynching should be kept up. To this end the executive committee was instructed to have a suitable bill drafted and to work for its passage. Unfair discrimination in the distribution of school funds was brought to the attention of the committee by Dr. T. J. Woofter, Jr., of the interracial staff, and the executive committee was instructed to give the facts to the public in pamphlet form and through the press. The need of better housing conditions was repeatedly emphasized and a study of these conditions was ordered, in order that they may be brought to the attention of the authorities and the public. Bishop F. F. Reese of Savannah is chairman of the committee and Clark Foreman of Atlanta is the executive secretary. Rev. P. J. Bryant and Mrs. H. R. Butler, of Atlanta, head the colored sections of the committee. New committees have recently been organized in Augusta, Columbus and Macon. IN THE REALM OF SPORTS Earl Johnson—A Molder of Character Earl Johnson, the dean of American distance runners, who placed third to Nurmi and Ritola, the two Finnas, at the 1924 Olympics in France, is doing a great work out at the Edgar Thomson plant in Braddock. Just to see him in action, with his group of young fellows, clean cut, sturdy, limbs of 100 per cent American families, is an aspiration. Johnson has developed a winning basketball team out in his section of the country. The boys are all amateurs and are playing their hardest for love of the game. And after all, that is what really counts. But, though they might not realize it, Johnson is a molder of character. He is taking these lads, still nothing but saplings, and training and molding them into the type of citizenship which will reflect credit and honor to the race. They are not playing the game of life later on. Truly Earl is a molder of character and a builder of men. FLOWERS WINS OVER BOG ASH IN FAST BOUT Boston, Mass., March 26.—Tiger Flowers of Atlanta, Ga., won a close decision over Lou Bogash of Bridgeport, Conn., in a 10-round fight here Friday night. Flowers was knocked down in the fourth round for a count of eight, was floored again without a count when he rose and again was tumbled for a count of five in the seventh round. Flowers weighed 167 pounds and Bogash 170. Despite the fact that he was knocked down three times, Flowers rallied strongly after each set back. Bogash seemed unable to follow up his advantage and the last three rounds went to the "Tiger" by a wide margin. In the rally which Flowers staged after the knockdown in the seventh, Bogash appealed to the referee, alleging he had been fouled but his claim was not allowed. A. & T. TEAM WINS Greensboro, N. C., March 26. A. & T. College took the measure of the Orange County Training School in the first game of the season, winning by one-sided score of 19 to 0. PAINE DEFEATS WALKER Augusta, Ga., March 26—With Burton pitching excellently, Paine College won the second game of the season here last week, defeating Walker Baptist College, 14 to 1. Voorhees Institute will be met on March 26 and Benedict College on April 3. 3 Pittsburgh, Pa., March 26.—Home-stead Grays baseball players plan to line up for the coming season. It is the only independent team playing in Western Pennsylvania last season to win over 100 games during the season, playing some of the best white teams in the section. Manager Cum Posey, Jr., has already signified men whom he wants to retain and there will be some new performers to take the places of those who are to be cut from the payroll. It was learned that Posey was angling for Santon, of the Famous Darby machine, but the great box office attraction of the East will remain in the East and continue to draw the crowds. Players already under contract include Catcher Young, Winn, Harris, "Moe" Harris, "Jap" Washington, infielders; Moody, Gray and Graham; outfielders, "Iron Man" Owens, Lefty Williams, "Versatile" Canady, as pitchers, besides four new men as utility players. The Grays will begin practice the first week in April and are scheduled to play their first games of the season April 18 and 25. 75 HAMPTONIANS REPORT FOR TRACK AND BASEBALL Hampton, Va., March 26. With a basketball championship successfully tucked away, the Hampton Institute men are turning to the spring sports in preparation for a strenuous season in baseball and track. Officially, the season opened a few days ago, when Coach Gideo E. Smith set out the call for candidates in both sports. At this time, forty baseball and thirty-five track aspirants signified their intention of competing for positions. Hampton's active preparations for the coming season, however, did not start until last week, when all candidates were called out doors. When the full quota of those who will participate in both track and baseball answers the call, the number is expected to increase materially. With its annual championship track and field meet scheduled for May 16; with invitations received from the Penn Relays and Drake Relays; with its first baseball encounter to be staged on April 18.; Hampton expects, once active training is in full swing, that the material for both track and baseball, and also tennis, will rapidly round into winning form. Efforts are to be made to recapture the track and field championship and especially to bolster the diamond squad. In the National pastime, Hampton has not been particularly good, and this year the coaches will center their efforts in producing a team which will at least finish in the first division. WILLS MUST BEAT TOMMY GIBBONS TO GET CHANCE AT TITLE. SAYS KEARNS New York, March 26.—"Neither Dempsey or I will agree to the champion defending his title against Harry Wills until he has met and defeated Tom Gibbons," declared Jack Kearns last week when he learned that Paddy Mullins, Wills' manager, is still holding out on the answer regarding the proposed Milk Fund fight with Gibbons. Mullins claims he will not accept the offer until he is positive that there is no chance of Dempsey returning to the ring. Kearns claims that if Dempsey should fight Wills before the latter has whipped Gibbons, the match would not draw within 50-per cent of the gate it would attract with a victory for the New Orleans Panther over the St. Paul heavyweight. "There has been, and still is, such a demand for a Wills-Gibbons fight," continued Kearns, "that I am sure a majority of the fans would consider Wills afraid of Tom if he spurs the offer made by the promoters of the Milk Fund show. And, if the public gets this idea I went ahead and matched Dempsey with Wills, we'd be lucky to draw $500,000 gate. "But let Wills prove he is Gibbons' master and then Mullins will find me willing to sign articles the minute Paddy pulls out his pen—and what a gate the fight would draw! I wouldn't be surprised if it drew more than Dempsey and Carpenter did over the Boyle's Thirty Acres, and that was $1,600,000."

THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, MARCH 28, 1925 Ancient Wigs Well Made As far back as the time of Rameses II, women were not content with the crowning glory nature supplied. One of America's leading wigmakers tells of examining a wig taken from the sarcophagus of an Egyptian mummy. That wig was so wondrous wrought that one must conclude the art was highly developed in the civilization of the ancients.
