McKAY COMPOSED THE COMMITTEE WHICH SELECTED THE NAME FOR THE ASSOCIATION. BRIGADIER GENERAL DANIEL MORIARTY CHOSEN FOR COMMANDER. COL. MORIARTY, WITHOUT ANY QUESTION ABOUT IT, WAS AT THE TIME THAT THE OLD SEVENTH REGIMENT WAS PUT OUT OF COMMISSION, ONE OF THE BEST MILITARY TACTICIANS IN THIS COUNTRY. HIS SOLDIERS ALWAYS LOOKED SLICK AND CLEAN AND THEY WERE ALWAYS READY TO FIGHT FOR THE HONOR AND GLORY OF THIS COUNTRY. A FRIENDLY FEELING ALWAYS EXISTED BETWEEN THE OFFICERS AND MEN OF THE SEVENTH AND EIGHTH REGIMENTS. It will be recalled at that time or just before the old "Fighting Seventh" Regiment, under the command of Col. Daniel Moriarty, was ready to embark for the battlefields of France in the early part of the winter of 1918, where its members under its gallant colonel were good and ready to fight and die for the honor of their country. But instead of being permitted to do any fighting for their country in battle formation or on the firing line, Col. Moriarty was relieved as the commander of the Old Seventh Regiment and from further active military duty or service and the Old "Fighting Seventh" Regiment with its splendid fighting record behind it was broken up and its staff and field officers and its rank and file were scattered to the four corners of the earth (as it were) never to be reunited again in battle array on this broad green earth. At that time and at the present time without the least bit of bitterness in our heart of hearts we still honestly feel that Col. Moriarty and his old "Fighting Seventh" Regiment were justly entitled to receive far better treatment than they did at the hands of the head officials of the War Department at that time and thousands of friends of the old "Fighting Seventh" Regiment in this city and state are of the same opinion. Eight years have rolled on into eternity since those unpleasant scenes were enacted, and now after those years have passed away and that we are all marching forward towards the silent city of the dead, the old staff and field officers of the old "Fighting Seventh" Regiment have become united for the sole purpose of keeping the "home fires burning" and to keep alive the true war or fighting spirit of the old "Fighting Seventh" Regiment and with that object in view recently 52 of the staff and field officers of the old "Fighting Seventh" Regiment met in the Rose Room of the Sherman House and formed the Seventh Infantry Service Men's Association and the following officers were elected at that time: Col. Daniel Moriarty Elected Commander Brigadier General, Daniel Moriarty, Commander; Lieut. Colonel Charles Roth, Vice-Commander; Captain Thos. P. Octigan, Adjunct; Captain John O'Hearn, Chaplain; Captain Thomas R. Quinlan, Quartermaster; Lieut.-Colonel Thomas J. Sullivan, Surgeon; Major Joseph P. Moore, Officer of the Day; Major Alexander J. McKay, Chief Musician; Captain Cornelius J. Ryan, Color Sergeant; Captain John A. Hartman, Color Sergeant; Captain William J. Grace, Captain Martin J. Downey, Lieutenant John Stanton, Trustees; Captain Jeremiah S. Hyland, Historian. A number of the officers elected are veterans of the old Hibernian Rifles, Illinois National Guard, Spanish-American War, Mexican Border Service and the World's War. Short History of the Old "Fighting Seventh" Regiment and Col. Daniel Moriarty If we mistake not, those known as the old Hibernian Riftmen were on June 21, 1893, merged into the Seventh Regiment Illinois National Guard, and Col. Francis T. Colby served as its first colonel from 1893 to 1895, and Judge Marcus Kavanaugh served as Lieutenant-Colonel. It must be stated right here that the old "Fighting Seventh" Regiment became a part of the National Guard of Illinois during the administration of the Late Governor John P. Altgeld, and Judge Kavanaugh served as colonel of the regiment from 1895 to 1898, and Col. Thomas L. Hartigan served as colonel or lieutenant colonel for a very short time. Later on, or at the close of the Spanish-American War, he became Colonel of the 30th United States Volunteer Regiment and wended his way to the Philippine Islands, where he closed his eyes in death some years ago. Col. Daniel Moriarty was inducted into office as colonel of the old "Fighting Seventh" Regiment in 1898 and faithfully and honorably served as such without one black spot against him until the spring of 1918, at which time, without any just cause whatever, he was stripped of his military honor and glory which he had worked hard to maintain for almost twenty years. The rank and file of the old "Fighting Seventh" Regiment in time found themselves on French soil and they became known as the first section of the ammunition train (108) and they were divided up into many other units and that was the last or the end of the old "Fighting Seventh" Regiment, Illinois National Guard, whose officers and men were the idol of the people of Illinois. For it will be recalled that the Seventh Infantry, under Colonel Moriarty merited the lasting friendship of the citizens of the city of Cairo, Illinois for its energetic work in saving their lives and property from distraction in April, 1913. The Commander-in-Chief, the Governor of Illinois highly complimented the Seventh Infantry for its efficiency and the excellence of discipline throughout the trying period of the floods. The Civil and Military Career of Col. Daniel Moriarty Col. Daniel Moriarty, who commanded the old "Fighting Seventh" Regiment, Illinois National Guard, from 1898 to 1918, and who had risen in it all along the line, was born in Knockafraence, County Kerry, Ireland, March 21, 1860. He was the dutiful son of Maurice and Mary (Twomey) Moriarty. He was educated in the National schools of old Ireland, com- SUBSCRIBE FOR THE BROAD AX s of the ords, Rece d Organ of the Old s, Recently Organized COL. OTIS B.

SLAVE RING IS REVEALED UNDER GUISE OF CULT Seize Score in Raids Here and in New York Agents of the department of justice in raids in Chicago and New York Wednesday arrested twenty-one colored men and women charged with being leaders in a ring of slavers which, under the guise of operating a religious cult, trafficked in comely young colored girls who were transported to a farm colony in Absecon N. J., where they were outraged and held. More than seventy cases of immoral practices in the cult were reported to the federal authorities, according to Assistant District Attorney James G. Cotter, who continues to make a brilliant record in the office of the United States District Attorney, who has charge of the cases in Chicago. Assistant United States Attorneys Siegel and Catanelli of New York claim the membership of the cult numbers more than 300. Conducts Raids Here Raids on the south and west sides were led during the day by J. D. Rooney and Thomas Jefferson, agents of the bureau of investigation of the Department of Justice here, assisted by Al Booth, detective sergeant assigned on government inquiry. "Beware! You are outraging Jesus Christ!" shouted Elder W. Roberson, also known as Eli, as the agents seized him in a lavishly appointed house at 4940 Vincennes Avenue. He is charged with being the head of the weird cult and the Vincennes Avenue house is said to be his Chicago headquarters. "Beware!" Roberson shouted, waving his long black kinky beard wildly. "I am the Messiah; I am the Christ!" All Wear Skull Caps "Come along!" said the agents as they hustled him into an automobile without giving him time to exchange his skull cap for a hat. With Roberson were seized also his wife and Mrs. Lottie Streety, Joseph Taylor, Edward Witty, Cornelius Johnson, Aaron Simmons, and Edgar D. Roberts. All the men wore the black skull caps and whiskers. All also were known by aliases—Hebrew names; thus Taylor was alias Temberfeld; Witty, David Lazarus; Johnson, Caino Stifson. At the federal building they were arranged before Commissioner James R. Glass, who heard evidence presented by Assistant District Attorney Cotter, Thursday. Former Member to Testify A former member of the cult, said to have repented his traffic in the black "white" slaves, and to have married a beautiful young ebon maid off the New Jersey farm, will tell of the immoralities at the "Black House of David," government men characterized it. In addition to the Roberson house on Vincennes Avenue, the ring maintained a so-called church at 1850 West Lake Street; a second establishment at 1828 West Fulton Street; and a third at 2324 Warren Avenue. Only young black girls of lovely form and figure were acceptable to the leaders of the cult who rolled the whites of their eyes and looked them over before they were acceptable.

Last week there was one of the most interesting cases in the entire country in the United States Circuit Court of Appeals at Chicago. Arrayed against America's most eminent lawyer was Hon. James G. Cotter, our own Assistant United States District Attorney, in the Federal Building, before Judges Evans, Alschuler and Page. Forty-two iron and steel corporations and 42 individuals were indicted in Cleveland, Ohio, for violating the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. More than a billion dollars is involved and the corporations are said to have paid Hon. Charles Evans Hughes a fabulous sum to appear here and oppose District Attorney Olson's expert on habeas corpus and extradition cases.

OTIS B. DUNCAN, COMMANDING. THE LOUISE D.MARSHALL AUXILIARY HAD CHARGE OF THE PLEASANT AFFAIR. Last Friday evening, the Louise D Marshall Auxiliary of the Eighth Regiment, Illinois National Guard, Mrs. James H. Johnson, president; Miss Estelle L. Arnold, secretary; Mrs. A. Hugo Williams, chairman; delightfully celebrated Abraham Lincoln's birthday. It was held at the Eighth Regiment Armory and despite the fact that it was a disagreeable evening, it was well attended. Miss Estelle Arnold, Mrs. James H. Johnson, Mrs. A. Hugo Williams, are highly deserving of unstinted praise for the hard work to accomplish in bringing forth the celebration. The Armory was profusely decorated everywhere with American flags, which imparted to it a patriotic and military air. Aside from the main dancing, the following short program was rendered: Program—Dress Parade, Regiment; Presentation of Painting, Judge Robt. McMurdy; Acceptance of Painting, Col. Otis B. Duncan. Synopsis of painting Scott picture—The Scott picture was painted for the State of Virginia before the Civil War—contract price $25,000. Contract repudiated by Virginia during the war. Hung on the wall of the Capitol at Washington during the war. The artist Troyne, made a copy which he sold to the government for $3,000. This is now in the Capitol. Burridge, scenic painter for Savage, says it is a $10,000 canvas. The painting is 12 feet wide and 18 feet high, representing General Winfield Scott on his favorite war horse, both litesize. Framed in a wide frame. The painting has been owned by the McMurdy family for the past 60 years. The sum of $500 is being raised by popular subscription for the reclaiming and framing of the picture. And Col. Duncan and his soldiers were at their very best in the dress parade, and evoked loud applause from the large gathering present for their splendid military deportment and for the well chosen words which he used in accepting the painting referred to. Judge Robert McMurdy was at his COLORED LEADER STIRS AT LANTA WITH MESSAGE Moves Thousands With Plea for Christian Attitudes in Race Relations Atlanta, Ga.—Appearing here with Sherwood Eddy, Dr. Alva Taylor, J. Stitt Wilson, and other nationally known figures in a series of meetings constituting "Religious Emphasis Week," Dr. Mordecai Johnson, of Charleston, West Virginia, spoke to thousands of people in leading white and colored churches and made a tremendous impression by his plea for the application of Christian principles to race relations. It was generally acknowledged to be one of the most effective ever heard in this city—logical, uncompromising, and yet fine and winning in its spirit. Dr. Johnson expressed the opinion that the South is in position to make a contribution of the greatest importance to the nation and to the world through the solution of its race problem. "This is no longer a southern problem," he said, "but is found throughout the nation and around the world. What we do here towards its solution, therefore, is of world-wide significance; and what now seems to us a heavy burden and responsibility may become our crown of fame and usefulness. "Jesus, during his life time, faced a problem very similar to our own," he continued, "living as he did among a people seething with racial antagonism and revolutionary sentiment.

The same thing is equally true today. The race problem can be solved only by applying these basic principles, which Jesus preached and practiced: “(1) A reverence for human life, for its own sake, which will make us unwilling to harm or humiliate or hinder the development of any human being; (2) The obligation to help every human being in need, irrespective of race or class; (3) A spirit that does not harbor hate or retaliate, but returns good for evil and wins its enemies by the compelling power of love.” With deep conviction Dr. Johnson maintained that only in the application of these principles is there any hope whatever for the peace and welfare of either race. FLORIDA POSSE SLAYS MAN FOR ALLEGED MURDER West Palm Beach, Fla., Feb. 18.—S. A. Turner, alleged slayer of Frank Taylor, was killed early Monday night by a bullet from a posse led by H. L. Stubbs and Buster Adams, deputy sheriffs, who trailed him from the scene of the murder to a shanty a few miles away where Turner was hiding. Turner attacked Taylor, a fellow worker, on the Loxahatches farms, near here, with a pitchfork Monday following a quarrel between their wives. Witnesses to the fight said Turner scaled Taylor then plunged the folk into his breast, killing him instantly. Both victims were colored. P. THE LATE FATHER EDWARD A. KELLY He was the beloved pastor of St. Ann's Roman Catholic Church, Wentworth Avenue and Garfield Boulevard. He served as Chaplain of the Old Fighting Seventh Regiment, Illinois National Guards, from June, 1893, until it left for the Mexican border in 1916. GARVEY LOSES HIS PLEA FOR CLEMENY U.N.I.A. Leader Must Serve at Leas One-Third of Five-Year Sentence. He Will Then Be Deported, Is Official Statement Washington, D. C.—President Coolidge has denied the petition of Marcus Garvey, President General U.N.I.A. for executive clemency, which sought to free Garvey from the Federal Prison at Atlanta, Ga., where he has served one year of his five-year sentence. In his petition for clemency, Garvey also asked to be allowed to remain in the United States ninety days in order to straighten up some "business affairs" before being deported. This request was also denied by Secretary of Labor Davis, who declares that Garvey would be immediately deported to British West Indies, just as soon as he is released from Atlanta prison. Garvey began his five-year sentence on Feb. 8, 1925, and will be eligible for parole Oct. 7, 1926, under the one-third term. After that time he may be paroled, but will be immediately deported, according to officials at Washington. In truth and in fact Col. Garvey is a real funny gentleman, for some years before he decided to buck up against the United States Government. He traveled all around over this country [Image of a man in a suit with a tie].

Brotherhood of Dining-Car Employees 1. "All Races Are Lovable" "All races are lovable," said Dr. Percy Stickney Grant, noted white pastor of New York, last Sunday in his sermon on the "Mastery of Life." He had just eulogised Abraham Lincoln for his emancipation of millions of Negro slaves, and was undoubtedly moved to pass on to his blood kinsmen a lesson in love. "The Irish, the Italians, the Germans, the Jews are here," he said; "and it is our duty to like them and to treat them as Americans; I find all races are lovable." The lesson of Saint Paul to the Corinthians has made itself felt here and there among a few whites, such as Dr. Percy Stickney Grant, attorney Clarence Darrow, and others. Darrow, although an agnostic, frequently acts a greater Christian part than those of his race who eloquently proclaim themselves to be divine. Too often, tradition, custom, and fear crowd out the element of Love, which, according to Saint Paul, when absent, leaves naught but sounding brass and tinkling cymbals. When one takes an inventory of the great white Christian church and notes the silent acquiescence it has given to acts of omission and commission which have stifled a tenth part of America's populace, it is indeed refreshing to hear one so great as Dr. Grant, reminding his people that all races are lovable; that brotherly love, not hatred, is symbolic of Christianity; and that although it is obviously ignored, Christian duty is still present, despite the black eye which pretenders are constantly giving it. 2. Shaving the Barbers Down in "dear old Georgia" the frivolous ways of simon-pure economics are running riot, and all because the colored barbers of the august city of Atlanta are in dire danger of being shaved by the City Council. That is to say, their daily toil of bobbing hair and shaping goatees of their white patrons is about to be shaved away from them. In other words, so watchful has Atlanta come over interracial relations, either at work or at play, and so baneful has come the "barberism" of efficient colored torsionalists, that the City Council is considering passing an ordinance prohibiting Negro razors and scissors from being used upon white faces and heads. Interracially speaking, this prohibition may be all right; but when one considers the logical conclusion of such an evasion, its economic phases and possibilities are staggering. Here they are; let's look 'em over: A myriad of colored cooks, waitresses, and domestic servants would be forbidden from working for any other than their own racial group. Many a good colored chauffeur, gardener, and butler would have to "roll his own." And if some weary southern white gentleman were perishing for a hot bath, a rubdown or a body massage, under the proposed ordinance, "George" would be unavailable. Lastly, I suppose the white merchants who sell the necessities of life and other things to the brothers and sisters of the banned race, would forthwith be compelled to drop their colored trade, and depend upon "Nordics" alone for the necessity of ringing up their cash registers. Oh, I tell you this doctrine of segregation is a "hummer." And if the white folks keep on giving it the urge, they will have to create a new continent, for Earth, Heaven and Hades will have passed away. Away from whom? From them! 3. The Porters' Million One million dollars increase has been granted by the Pullman Company to its more than twelve thousand colored porters and maids, effective February 15, 1926. This is an increase of ten per cent and gives to the faithful comforters of the traveling public a maximum monthly wage of $90.50, which will be augmented by the continued generous tips of appreciative riders of Pullman cars. Some of the "faithful" will receive as much as $104.00 per month, flat. The company states that this increase is 23.75 per cent higher than the war wage when tips were plentiful and wages slow to soar, at least in transportation occupations. This concession on the part of President Carry is worthy of appreciation; and those of the porters who were thoughtful enough to become a unit and seek the means of mediation to achieve the goals they sought are to be specially commended. For the colored worker, as for no other, mediation is always to be preferred to a strike; but mediation does not mean, of course, that colored men have no moral right to bargain collectively. In fact, mediation and arbitration are stimulants of group bargaining. The extra million which the Pullman porters will receive means homes, education, and greater independence for the porters, who thus contribute to the Race's economic assets. Greater economic strength means, in turn, greater political strength; and greater political strength means a stronger voice in the government of all the people. Common sense has the hue-and-cry method bested by 99 per cent. Intelligently presented causes win nine times out of ten, and the mediating porters have made monkeys out of those persons who sought to place the ball and chain of silence about their brains 4. Virginia Is Puzzled The "Old Dominion State's" brightest minds are in a quandary. In their zeal to systematize the rising tide of color, through a so-called Racial Integrity measure, the Virginia legislators have evolved a puzzle which is beginning to disconcert many a "royal" F. F. V.s family. The Racial Integrity Measure, known among colored people as the "Whitewash Bill," classes as "colored" all white persons with any known demonstrable or ascertainable admixture of Indian or Negro blood. Furthermore, the bill forbids their marriage to white persons and declares "void absolutely from the beginning any marriage entered into between such a 'colored' person and a white." In their ardor to be efficient the reckless lawmakers forgot that many of the most distinguished families of Virginia, rely for their "distinction" upon some downcoming strain of blood from Pocahontas or some other equally famous Indian tree; and it develops that a dozen or more members of the Legislature itself would, under the strict qualifications laid down in the Integrity Measure, be "colored." This disclosure has brought consternation to the state; and, judging from the cry sounded by a number of Virginia's most haughty scions, some changes must be made in the proposed measure, in order to save Virginia from being a part of its own racial ruin. As a colored brother said just the other day, in Richmond: "Tegrity is all right, if you don't take it too seriously." 5. Brotherhood of Dining-Car Employees The Brotherhood of Dining-Car Employees, under the careful guidance of Rienzi B. Lemus, of Richmond, Boston, and Washington, has become outstanding among the Negro labor organizations in America. During the World War the heavy trials of cooks, waiters, and pantrymen working on the diners of America's great railway trunk lines gave these men the vision to see that they were entitled to a greater equity in the matter of hours, wages, and other conditions of labor. Frequently, these men "doubled" back over their runs after a night's rest (?) on the hard floor of a dining-car. And although food and service obligations soared with American prosperity, the brother who was rushing a tray to some famished, but unappreciative traveler, or the chef who was putting some extra "English" upon a pumpkin pie, "baked in the car," was the last one to feel the impulse which a "raise" in wages usually gave. Too, these men knew that higher standards of service could be easily attained were they to systematize their work and organize themselves into a cohesive unit. With a few wise leaders and a goodly percentage of enthusiastic followers the dining-car employees launched their unity program, based upon the principle of collective bargaining. Today, they are three thousand strong, from Maine to Louisiana; their service is superior; their wages are higher; and the carriers and the traveling public are better served and better pleased than ever before in the history of American railway transportation. Rienzi B. Lemus and his associates are to be commended and congratulated upon their splendid performance and upon the example they have set to the Negro labor world. BRANCH OPENS STORE Mr. and Mrs. John W. Branch, who recently purchased their future home at 93rd and S. State Sts., have erected and opened a store for the accommodation of the neighborhood. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, FEBRUARY 20, 1926 INCOME TAX RETURNS MAY BE FILED WITH DEPUTIES In accordance with instructions from the Commissioner of Internal Revenue at Washington, Deputy Collectors authorized to assist taxpayers in completing their income tax returns will be provided with the 1040 and 1040-A forms so as to begin their acceptance of schedules at once. Mrs. Mabel G. Reinecke, the Collector of Internal Revenue, said Monday: "The instructions issued by Commissioner D. H. Blair indicate that they apply particularly to the service given to taxpayers with small incomes by deputies whose annual filing period itinerary requires them to visit towns and cities where we have no branch offices. The '1040-A' schedules were released by wire this morning, but the '1040' forms, for incomes over $5,000, are not yet released. The income tax paying public whose incomes are under $5,000 and are derived principally from salaries and wages will receive their blanks through the mail this week and until they receive their forms, we hope the taxpayers will exercise patience. "The fact is that the income tax bills of the House and Senate have not yet become law and the only reason that the Commissioner has ordered a partial release of the forms under the personal charge of Deputy Collectors is to assist the taxpayers with small incomes, the farmers, and other inhabitants of remote districts. The normal tax rates of $1\frac{1}{2}\%$ on the first $4,000, 3\%$ on the next $4,000, and 5\%$ on income in excess of $8,000 have been approved by both House and Senate and the exemptions of $1,500 for a single person and $3,500 for a married person have had like approval, so that these provisions will doubtless be written into the law. "In this connection, attention is called to the fact that Deputy Collectors are authorized to help taxpayers in completing their individual income tax returns, without charge. Deputies are prohibited from accepting payment for assisting taxpayers in making out their returns. "The extent and value of this service to the taxpayer will be greater, if the preparation of the return is completed so far as possible before March 1, 1926. Assistance in the completion of income tax returns may be obtained at branch offices of the Internal Revenue Service at the following Chicago locations: Room 555 Federal Building, 4554 Broadway, 2551 Milwaukee Ave., 803 W. Madison St., 180 E. 63rd St., and 6906 S. Halsted St., and at the Federal Buildings in the following cities: Joliet, Aurora, Rockford, Peoria, and Rock Island, Illinois." URBAN LEAGUE PLANS FINAN CIAL DRIVE The Finance Committee of the Chicago Urban League of which Mr. Harry D. Oppenheimer is chairman and Dr. M. O. Bousfield is vice-chairman, has set aside the week of April 5th for the termination of its 1925-26 Annual Drive for Funds. It will be recalled that the Urban League did not hold a drive during the fiscal year 1924-25, due to the fact that at the time set aside for the raising of funds in previous years, there was a change in the executive heads, Mr. T. Arnold Hill going to the staff of the National Urban League. Since the friends of the league have not been called upon to contribute since the fiscal year 1923-24 it is anticipated that the goal set will be reached with comparative ease. The work of the league has been departmentalized and this has permitted greater expansion in its programs of activities, thus making more effective accomplishments possible. The Industrial work is under the direction of H. N. Robinson, the Civic department under the leadership of Mrs. Maude A. Lawrence and the Department of Research and Records is being supervised by a special survey committee consisting of Prof. Worth of Chicago University, Miss Sytz of the Institute for Juvenile Research, and A. L. Foster, Executive Secretary of the Urban League. Detailed plans for the drive are being worked out by a special committee and will be made public in subsequent issues of this paper. PREPARES TO OPEN SEASON M. T. Bailey, president of The Bailey Realty Co., 3638 S. State St., known the country over as a Race subdivider and who has become well known by his efficient work in Morgan Park, Lilydale, Harvey, Robbins and other suburban towns adjoining the world's greatest city, is making great preparations for the opening season which will surprise his many friends and customers throughout the country. (Preston News Service) Richmond, Va., Feb. 18.—Nothing has stirred the "blue bloods" of Virginia to more vigorous action and protest since the days when their sons gave their lives in vain to maintain the nation's scourge in the sixties than the introduction of the Racial Integrity bill in the state legislature last week. Opponents to the measure point out that the bill would classify as "colored" some of the most distinguished families of Virginia, and various proud and patriotic societies and organizations have prepared to fight the measure to the last ditch, it has been announced. 20,000 Whites Would Be "Colored" One Virginia historian expressed the belief that the passage of the bill would mean the classification as "colored" of at least a dozen members of the Virginia General Assembly, as well as not less than 20,000 of the most distinguished people in Virginia. This racial integrity measure, which is being warmly advocated by John Powell, a Richmond pianist; Major Ernest Sevier Cox, ethnologist; and Dr. A. W. Plecker, State Registrar of Vital Statistics, classes as "colored" all "white" persons with any "known demonstrable or ascertainable admixture of Indian or Negro blood" forbids their marriage to white persons, and declares, "void absolutely ab initio" any marriage entered into between such a "colored" person and a "white." The only exceptions under the bill would be the descendants of Indians and whites married prior to 1619. It does not except the descendants of two very famous marriages between Indians and whites in 1684 and about 1644. From these two unions are sprung many of Virginia's leading families. Their names are not made public. It is understood that a judge of the present State Supreme Court of Appeals would fall under the ban. From among the descendants of one of the marriages have come two governors of Virginia. THIS LAW WOULD DRAW COLOR LINE ON MANY F. F. V. S. Richmond, Va.—The legislature has before it a so-called "racial integrity" bill, which its opponents, who number among them various patriotic societies, declare would classify as colored some of the most distinguished families in Virginia. The measure classes as colored all persons with any "known, demonstrable, or ascertainable admixture of Indian or Negro blood," forbids their marriage to white persons, and declares void any marriage entered into between such a "colored person and a white." One historian who has studied the questions expressed belief that passage of the bill would mean classification as colored of at least a dozen members of the general assembly and not less than 20,000 of the most distinguished people in the state. Only exceptions under the bill would be descendants of Indians and whites married prior to 1819. At least a score of the state's most famous families are descended from Indian marriages, it is said by genealogists. DAYTON ATTORNEY DECLARES NEGRO AND WHITE CHILDREN UNDER SAME REGULATIONS Columbus, O., Feb. 18.—Negro and white children at Garfield School, Dayton, are under the same regulations, are not discriminated against and are taught the same curricula. it was contended before the Ohio Supreme Court, Wednesday morning by John B. Harshman, Dayton city attorney. John C. Shea, attorney for Earl Reese, contended that in dividing classes and confining Negro children to three buildings in the four-building group at Garfield School, the board of education has set up a separate school for Negro children in violation of the state law. Negro children have always attended kindergarten and assemblies in the main brick building of the school, and at present there are two classes of Negroes in the main building, the city attorney contended. LEAVES FOR NASHVILLE Miss Roberta C. Dickerson, a registered nurse of Nashville, Tenn., who spent four pleasant weeks in the city as the house guest of Mrs. Anna Goodwin, 745 E. 40th St., while visiting with her brother, Thomas Dickerson, left the city Sunday evening for her home and was much elated with her stay in the city. Ernest H. WILLIAMSON UNDERTAKER CHARLES E. DAWSON N. C. GVERNOR GRANTS CON DEMNED MAN A REPRIEVE Raleigh, N. C., Feb. 18.—Governor McLean Thursday reprieved Jim Ballard, sentenced to die for murder. In reprieving the man Mr. McLean said it was for the purpose of investigating his mental condition. The reprieve extends his life until March 26 and he will be kept under observation at the Negro Hospital for the insane at Goldsboro. Ballard was convicted of the murder of Deputy Sheriff Eason of Gates County some time ago and the Supreme Court upheld the lower court. Judge Henry A. Grady, the trial judge, appealed to the Governor to commute the sentence to life imprisonment because he had noticed the man's actions during the trial and felt he may have been irresponsible. It was on the strength of Judge Grady's request that Mr. McLean decided to reprieve Ballard for mental observation. DOWNINGTOWN INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL NOTES (Preston News Service) Downingtown, Pa., Feb. 18.—L. H. Dennis, Deputy Superintendent of Public Instruction of Pennsylvania, in charge of vocational training, made a regular visit to the Downingtown Industrial School on February 2. He studied carefully the courses of study outlined by each teacher to cover their year's work and made suggestions for their improvement. A schedule of visits by experts in charge of specialized subjects in the Department of Public Instruction has been arranged. Each week one of these directors is to visit the school and hold conferences with the teachers of the particular subject and with the general faculty. Every effort is being made to give better direction to the work of the school and to place it under the critical supervision of trained experts. J. H. N. Waring, Jr., principal of the school, attended the meetings of the National Urban League in New York City. WILLI UNI PETER JOHN D. SCOTT, Manager Licensed Undertaker MRS. MARY E.

When the winter season rolls around, there is always a special equipment to be got ready for the little misses, observes a fashion writer in the New York Times. There must be party dresses of the daintest fuzzy ruffles type, trim little suits for morning and general street wear, sports togs for tobogganing and skating and the comfortable, simple little costumes that will answer for the many home affairs and other informal occasions. All of these will appear the more attractive in contrast to a school uniform. Fashions in children's dress change less radically but quite as often as those of their elders. Apart from the specially designed clothes in the accepted mode for misses and juniors and little children, these follow and reflect to some extent the modes worn by the grownups. Clothes for children were never more chic nor done in more consistent taste than they are this winter. Some examples are in themselves artistically worth while. The sports suit offers the greatest incentive to the designer because of its expression of exuberant youth. Nothing more flattering was ever built for a girl than the typical skating costume, which of course will answer for many an out-of-doors party. It is oftenenest a jumper suit with kilted skirt of white flannel or kasha, blouse of white crepe or jersey and a sweater of heavy angora wool, also white, extending well over the hips and high about the throat, with the thickly rolled turtle collar. This, with a Russian turban or close cape of angora, heavy white stockings, boots or oxfords and doeskin gloves will present a complete and enchanting picture of the modern athletic girl at her best. Jumpers, Sweaters, Coats. Many variants of the outing or sports suit are shown this season. In startling contrast to the snowy all-white costume are jumper dresses, sweaters and coats in the gayest colors of a Roman sash, worn with white skirts, kilted, plain or wrap-around. Some swagger little costumes are put together in all green or brown, red or blue, in the new shades of all these colors. Some fur is used and some needlework, especially the peasant embroidery in vivid colors. In one of the most dashing sports suits seen this season, white cloth of the quality of suede is used. The skirt is cut with a slightly gored flare and the white sweater coat shows a Russian influence, with collar and cuffs of black lynx. With this outer suit is worn a tailored shirt of white crepe, a holly-red tie and a band of red kidskin on the tops of the black patent Russian boots. Costumes of such picturesque character are almost in the category of fancy dress and they are correspondingly popular with the younger set. The interest in knitted goods has inspired a number of fetching suits for girls and young women. These are appropriate for general informal wear, for outings, for the country clubs and for mornings about the home. The one- 10 Nothing More Serviceable That Fur- Collared Coat of Camel's Hair. piece dress is less modish now than the jumper suit, which can be made in heavy yarns. Both this and the plain dress are worn under a sports coat. In the sweaters, knitted blouses and jackets, wide latitude in trimming may be found. Sometimes a decorative scheme is knitted or woven in Egyptian, Armenian, Indian, cubist, geometric, conventionalized floral and all the designs in decorative detail that are now in vogue. They make showy, colorful and sometimes very artistic garments. In frocks and suits of the lightweight woolens that are used so much this season, the models are built on simple lines, but in these also some of the best styles, particularly those of Paris authority, have a touch of needlework. One little costume designed for a girl of thirteen is made of rose-beige kasha with a Offered as a Bait Agent—"Why not take out a policy for $50,000 in favor of your wife?" Victim—"I have no wife." Agent—"You would pretty soon after the report got out."—Boston Transcript. box-plated skirt, overblouse of heavy belge crepe and a short box coat of the cloth lined with crepe of the same shade. At the neck and cuffs are wide bands of belge-colored fox and all around the bottom is a little pattern of conventionalized flowers embroidered in rose, green and blue. Other fetching little suits for girls from the age of ten to sixteen are made in lovely shades of brown, green, blue and burgundy. In the rather dresser ensembles such as a girl would wear to lunch, to a matinee or tea, are such colors as saffron, biscuit, jade, a few in Chinese red and that delicous shade "tilleul," so becoming to both blond and brunette. Afternoon and Evening Wear. THE FASHION OF THE 20TH CENTURY Chiffon Velvet Dress of Porcelain Blue With Yoke Effect. of fashionable dresses. Some of these have much charm, simplicity and a certain dignity is characteristic of the present season's styles as a whole. Velvet is used lavishly for both dresses and coats. It is becoming and popular accordingly. An ensemble designed for a tall young girl by an exclusive New York maker of children's clothes, is done in black velvet, trimmed with many small dull gilt buttons. The coat, also of velvet, is knee-length, showing Russian feeling. It is lined with canary-colored kasha duvetyne and has a collar of ermine tails. The wide cuffs are of the velvet, trimmed at the back with a double row of the gilt buttons. It is in her party dress the little girl and the big girl step from earth into the clouds and inspire the creator of their costumes to flights of beauty. Chiffon is the thing for both afternoon and evening dance frocks. Nothing is more subtly soft and delicate than the fluttering draperies of this sheer fabric. For afternoon most of the gowns have long sleeves, flattering to slender arms; but most of the models for evening are sleeveless, with the round or oval neck that forms a line just below the choker necklace of imitation pearls or novelty beads. The little ballet-skirted frock is proper. Georgette, crepe and crepe satin are much liked by the designers of dresses for girls who are growing tall and slim. Some exceedingly pretty models from Paris brighten the evening shades, with crystal drops in delicately traced, graceful patterns. Girls nowadays are clever in the matter of designing their own clothes and one sees many amusing little costumes, particularly in fancy dresses, that have emanated from youthful imaginations artistically inclined. The Fur Used. The furs seen on the sports coats, dresses and dress wraps are fox in the light natural shade, orange or brown, baby leopard, golden caracul, peach squirrel, flying squirrel, white or summer-ermine, Belgian hare and rabbit dyed in many lovely shades, often to match the garment. In dresses for juniors the flare, circular flounce and godet are introduced much as in gowns for mature women. But straight lines, plain or kilted skirts are better liked by most courtiers. If any one model among the many presented this season may be considered more modish than the others, it is the two-piece or jumper frock. This is translated charmingly in terms of innumerable materials, from tweed to satin and velours. One of the most intriguing little dresses seen has a short circular skirt of black velvet, with a long tunic blouse of metal cloth brocaded with conventionalized flowers in blue, rose and bronze. Handkerchiefs for children are as varied and interesting in the new styles as those for older people. Some of the novelties offered are most amusing. One clever little trick is a toy umbrella six inches long, which is made of a colored kerchief with an embroidered edge wound about a little bamboo stick that serves as a handle. Another contrivance is a bisque doll whose frock is made of two or three fancy handkerchiefs. Railroad on Ice During the Russo-Japanese war a full-sized broad-gauge railway was built across Lake Balkal, in eastern Siberia, on the ice for a distance of more than thirty miles.

British Amber Amber is found along some of our shores, particularly in winter time after heavy seas, but you are not likely to find very much nowadays.

Keep Rings On When washing your hands in a public lavatory, keep your rings on and wash your hands a bit carefully, so they do not wash off.
