(Preston News Service) New York, June 18.—President Louis Borno of Haiti, arriving Friday as the first chief executive of that country to visit the United States, not only failed to receive the 21-gun salute to which he was entitled but met with a distinctly unfriendly demonstration from some of his countrymen residents here. Butler Wright, assistant secretary of state, W. W. Cumberland, financial advisor from the United States to Haiti and army officers greeted the visitor. Cumberland explained failure of the presidential salute by saying there had been some confusion as to the time of his arrival. As President Borno stepped ashore he was greeted by Haitians with cat-calls and jeers. They wore vari-colored paper hats and high above their heads they held placards bearing uncomplimentary legends, printed in English. Bowing, President Borno, who understands but little English, graciously acknowledged the cat-calls, the raucous jeers and placards, all of which he believed the signs of an ovation. Heckled on Departure Passengers aboard the liner said President Borno had been heckled by Haitians as he embarked last Sunday. One passenger produced a circular given him at Port Au Prince, which read in part: "Look out." "Mr. Borno, so-called president of Haiti, is going to the United States. Mr. Borno is only president de facto, having been elected in spite of the fact that he is eneligible, being the son of a foreigner. Up to now, so far as it is known, Washington has not recognized the new government and it is supposed that Mr. Borno is going to explain matters and try to deceive President Coolidge and the American people." At City Hall, Mayor James J. Walker welcomed President Borno and Mrs. Borno. The visitor who received part of his education in Paris, replied in French. THE BROAD AX THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, JUNE 19, 1926 The Twenty-eighth International Eucharistic Congress which is Headed by Cardinal Mundelein, will Convene in this City for One Week Beginning June 20-It Promises to Be the Greatest Religious Affair Ever Held in the Civilized World-The Official Program Follows: HIS EMINENCE GEORGE CARDINAL MUNDELEIN Arch-Bishop of Chicago, who is dearly beloved by all the Citizenship of this great city By CHARLES STEWART, JR. Yesterday, today and until Thursday, June 24, will mark a new year in the world's gathering of the thought that came out of the mind of the unmeasured jewel of the earth—woman. Back in the past century the feasibility of this Congress was the dream of a French woman, who was greatly moved by the fathoming out of her vision. In the days of the Bishop of Lille, the Eucharistic Congress was first inaugurated and the unqualified indorsement was given by Pope Leo XIII in 1880. These congresses have been held in Paris, Rome, London, Cologne, Amsterdam, Madrid, Montreal, and even in Jerusalem. The purpose of these congresses is to stimulate the higher Christian life and a better understanding as to the fundamental principles of their faith, designed to proclaim and acknowledge the power, love and wisdom of Jesus Christ. This XXVIIth Congress is the first to be held in the United States. It will be of a more marvelous nature than any yet held. In the past sessions, the news of their acts was only able to be cablegrammed, but today the mighty invention of the radio will pick up and carry through the air, the actual doings of the feast. Laws and traditions make it impossible for the presence of the Pope, the great head of the Church, but he sends to the Congress with his special blessing to be delivered to the world. John Cardinal Bonzano who was met by thousands of men, women and children of his faith and by five hundred thousand non-Catholics of Chicago who came to show Chicago's hospitality and give a welcome such as has never been caused in the history of this commonwealth. They met at the Illinois Central railroad station and marched in Michigan Ave. by national guardsmen, police officers, on the part of the city, the Knights of St. Gregory and Knights of Columbus, led by Grand Marshal Judge Marcus Kavanagh and his aides, in full regalia to the Holy Name Cathedral where the seal was broken and the special message from the Pope delivered by John Cardinal Bonzano. Throughout the march, the first tone of bells from St. Mary's Church in Wabash Ave. was joined in by two hundred and ninety-nine other churches of the faith, and gave solemn tones of welcome. In each of these separate edifices and in the great Coliseum, solemn masses were held, prayers sent aloft for the continued and renewed depths of a greater religious faith. Feasts of various character, in the Chicago Athletic and other clubs, were given as a part of the welcome of the best brains of the Church who had traveled from every quarter of the globe to impress upon the hearers and M. B. readers their creed for which they stand. In the early announcement of this gathering in Chicago, the Rev. John Thompson of the First M. E. Church appealed from his pulpit that we give to these visitors a welcome of such character of hospitality and in the very highest religious sense. "Hospitality," he said, "is a true part of our religion, and in no way relates to doctrinal differences; the principle of Christ is charity. It is the sharing of hands on a broader basis of human brotherhood." Thus you at home in foreign lands telling the story in your own tongues can be satisfied that the high cardinal principles of man and womanhood built from the cradle to the grave will be rendered unto these delegates who came to impart to us the love and Christian spirit of their Church. sixty thousand voices will sing the music that if measured distance could carry, would reach into the Kingdom of Heaven that the awaiting spirits might hear their efforts from the sweet strains of their voices to bring to their faith millions who yet wait to understand. And, too, our group here play their part. St. Monica's Court, now a part of St. Elizabeth's Parish in South Michigan Ave., will listen to the strains of the musical voice of our group as a part of this great choir. Some of the best vocalists have joined with them in giving tone to their sweet music which will be a part of the unwritten history that shall be read throughout the ages. On the 24th day of June, when the final mass has been said and they look aloft to the Master with the fond hope that this gathering has been the one The Mother Superiors from all over the earth have sent their selected nuns by thousands to go out and pass the Bread of Life until all shall have communed. Tomorrow almost in the eyesight of great Chicago, we look up the North Shore on Michigan's great lake and out and across and from under the o'erspread green trees a million men, women and children will tramp across the earth to Mundelein to the newly established St. Mary-by-the-Lake, where the greatest gathering of the Church will be held to pay in America the first tribute to the thought that dedicates its twenty-eighth gathering which came out of the mind of the little French woman that in part they can pay no higher tribute of reverential respect than to the growth of these congresses and seek to build anew the intended faith in these outdoor gatherings. They came in autos of every description, by the hundred thousands, to listen and understand better the constructive idea of a broader civilization within and out of the Church; to teach mankind that the little Sisters of the Poor tramping through rain, snow and sunshine, having in truth and in fact their mission of making happier the needy that they can better serve the Creator. In the days of the inauguration of the Eucharistic feast, nations like China were unknown to the Knights of the Cross; but the special robe made and to be worn by John Cardinal Bonzano comes from the unequaled decorated China silk with the art of the master instructor. Then we come back in the sight of the statues of Grant and Logan and out on the lake front South Shore in the heart of the greatest business center of the world; here SUBSCRIBE FOR THE BROAD AX No. 40 sixty thousand voices will sing the music that if measured distance could carry, would reach into the Kingdom of Heaven that the awaiting spirits might hear their efforts from the sweet strains of their voices to bring to their faith millions who yet wait to understand. And, too, our group here play their part. St. Monica's Court, now a part of St. Elizabeth's Parish in South Michigan Ave., will listen to the strains of the musical voice of our group as a part of this great choir. Some of the best vocalists have joined with them in giving tone to their sweet music which will be a part of the unwritten history that shall be read throughout the ages. On the 24th day of June, when the final mass has been said and they look aloft to the Master with the fond hope that this gathering has been the one that has given better understanding to the fundamental principles of their faith and hope to have moulded a broader religious sphere in the minds of men and womankind of all the earth, back to their homes again they can tell a new story of the New World's metropolis, the greatest* city of modern architecture; the rapid development of electricity, and the unequaled boulevards, and the greatest parks of the earth, and the housed institutions of education, of the Chicago University, Northwestern University, Loyola University, and the world's new medical wonder, Rush's new Medical College. The thought of this Congress cannot be closed from the viewpoint of our group without making mention of the fact that there lives today and will live on in the far tomorrow the devoted service to Church and mankind of three great men—Archbishop Fehan, Archbishop James Quigley, and the man who gave more strength, more actual service to the elementary principles of education and the broad principles of American doctrines, the master mind of Americans within the Church, the late Archbishop John Ireland. He blazed the way that made it possible for Negro equality; he stood like an undescribed giant and spake words that made a new construction in the laws of Church and State covering the intended rights of God, our Father, for this group of His creation. Those delegates here and those who travel back to their homes—it is the hope that they carry with them in the innermost recesses of their souls a new prayerful spirit that will bring equal justice and peace on earth to men and womankind.

EUCHARISTIC CONGRESS SPECIAL BULLETIN By Chief of Police Morgan A. Collins The city of Chicago next week will be host to almost a million pilgrims to the great Eucharistic Congress, which opens Sunday, June 20th, and continues until Thursday, June 24th. While this will be one of the greatest religious events the world has ever seen, nevertheless the "irreligious" strain will be present amongst the huge throngs in the shape of pickpockets, shoplifters, and petty thieves of all sorts. Not only visitors to the Congress, but also native Chicagoans are warned to beware. The Police Department will make every effort within its power to protect everyone, but its work will be considerably aided by co-operation on the part of visitors and citizens. Therefore, it is necessary for each individual to be extremely cautious regarding his valuables and to follow religiously the following suggestions: Accept no invitations from newly made acquaintances for auto rides, sight-seeing tours, or to "do the town" at night. Some of our slickest crooks possess the most affable manners. Beware of pickpockets! Do not carry valuables on your person. Leave them with the clerk in your hotel or have them put in safety deposit boxes at the most convenient bank. Every bank will have special facilities to take care of just such cases, during the Congress. Women should be particularly cautious about their handbags or purses. This is especially true when shopping. Do not lay them on the counters of stores. Do not carry them in such a way that a clever thief, by simply walking alongside, can open and rifle them in a crowd. A dangling handbag is an open invitation to a thief. Chicagoans who attend the Congress ceremonies are especially urged not to leave their homes unprotected. Arrange to have some friend or member of your immediate family in charge while you are away. By being especially vigilant you will aid the police immensely in their efforts to protect you and your property. The Police Department is entirely at your service and will exert itself to the utmost to assure all visitors and Chicagoans all possible courtesy and protection. Remember! You can't make a mistake if you ask a policeman! MORRIS SOCIAL WORKER TO MARRY AS DAY DAWNS (Preston News Service) Morristown, N.

PRAISED BY GUIZOT Well Known Critic Says Widening Light is a Distinct Contribution to Literature In reviewing the book of poems written by Mrs. Carrie Williams Clifford of Washington, D. C., Emil Guizot says: "The author of the Awakening Light is truly a representative of the present era, and, as expressed in her title poem, she belongs to "The moving millions of the darker clan" Who "Have Wakened to Jehovah's ancient cry— Not stunted, greedy, boastful, pale-faced man, Omnipotent is—'Verily none saved!'" And piercing the dark clouds of dreadful night Behold! They greet the light, the light, the light! Mrs. Clifford's poems move and have magic, and her expressions are distinctly commendable. On the subject of racial discrimination she is never humorous but smites mightily as she songs musically. Her poem on Race Hate is both a prophecy and fulfillment for Time has written "with leaping flame the ghastly story" of how "God's living temples" have been defamed by "craven crafty Hate" and the ages have taught the lesson that "seeing triumphs are too dearly bought." The volume also contains a number of eulogistic poems which is an admirable and characteristic trait of Negro verse writers to speak of notable personages of their race. For artistic expression and genuine sentiment her poems on Phyllis Wheatley, Frederick Douglass, William Stanley Braithwaite, Dunbar and Lincoln may be set by the side of any like literature. "Writing on The Flight, Mrs. Clifford beautifully and accurately tells why the Negro is leaving Dixieland and closes her poem with the warning: "O Southland, that they loved so well. The time will come when you That faithful friends are few! The poem on "Old Ocean and the Shore" genuinely depict lovers in three moods. One must read the whole poem to fully appreciate: "And she who had been pale and cold Grew warm and dimpled at his touch. "God! I could better bear his blows Than his indifference. "Tis well, "the shore said softly, For he loveth much." In Three Sonnets—Appeal, Demand and Warning, verbal expression is one of Mrs. Clifford's accomplishments. She is a woman who has hyper-perceptions that cause her art to move in the process of selection. She has imagination that penetrates the secrets of life, and she belongs to the New School of Negro writers, whose style is one of protest—sometimes pathetic and prayerful, sometimes indignant and bitter. "Awakening Light has poetic merit to a high degree and should be read by every lover of genuine literature." SAYS ENLIGHTENED NATIONS MUST EXCLUDE ORIENTALS (Preston News Service) Jacksonville, Ill., June 18.—A barrier against the Oriental will be raised by the principal countries of the civilized world, to prevent the lowering of living standing, Prof. E. A. Ross, University of Wisconsin sociologist, predicted Friday in speaking at the commencement exercises of Illinois College on "The World Crisis in Population." Science, by conquering disease and prolonging life, has created a real problem of population, most acute in the Orient, he said, which is not following the example of "enlightened" peoples of the world in cutting down the size of their families. "If the Asiatics enjoy the privilege of unloading their surplus upon other less crowded peoples, the floods of emigration from Asia would reproduce in other parts of the owrld, the overcrowding and misery so characteristic of China and India. "The example of the United States in barring mass immigration from the Orient will become general in Europe and the Americas as already it has been adopted in Australasia and South Africa." PETER H.

By Miss Grace S. Lowndes, Chairman Department of Social Work and Corrections, National Association of Colored Women THE WORKING MOTHER (Continued from last week) Only a few months of this sort of thing is sufficient to wreck the family. Then comes the complaints in the neighborhood of small crimes, always blamed on the children whose mother works away from home. There is disobedience at home, truancy, and, perhaps, Juvenile Court. There is a girl not doing so well in school; shows lack of interest, lack of concentration. School visitor and teacher discover girl about to become a mother with scant possibility of the protection of marriage. Now there must be pre-natal care and hospital service for the girl; support and medical attention for the child, which, in many cases, has been injured during the first frantic days, after discovery, in the effort to get rid of the unwelcomed child, and which may be maimed, or an imbecile and perhaps diseased. Husband Loses Interest in Home Poor tired mother is worn down and heartbroken too, when husband no longer comes to dinner; sometimes stays out all night, and his contributions toward the support of the family grows less and less—because Mother's earnings lessen his responsibility. White Employer Sympathetic The white family by whom Mother is employed think she is a fine woman, are full of sympathy for her and help her out wherever there is need. They follow her to the courts; use their influence with the hospitals and institutions; help her to secure proper legal advice—and all the time they are wondering why she has so much trouble with her family when the chil- 318225 HON.

Economic Conditions Source of Trouble In the discussions—church—school—community—employer, all fail to place the responsibility properly on the economic situation which has forced the Negro Mother to leave her children and go to work at the time when they need her most. And our mothers have lost most of their families before they "wake up" to the situation. High Taxes Bring High Living Costs The state, the county, the city must now levy and collect taxes sufficient to cover the cost of the corrective influences which are necessary to meet all these needs, so that we find our living expenses soaring to unbelievable heights, making the "working mother" more and more necessary, and we wonder where it will all end. If the family and its relations are "the setting for the drama of life," who is to attend to the scene shifting possibilities? If the health, the recreation, and character building of that product of the family—our future citizens—if our mothers are forced to consider other things of equal importance, where will the race end?

COLORFUL NEWS MOVIES BY THE CAMERAMAN (Preston News Service) 1. Cloture Rule Stirs Senate. 2. Kentucky on Trial. 3. Colored Methodist Episcopal Church. 4. De Hart Hubbard. Cloture Rule Stirs Senate Great was the concern of southern senators when one of their leaders, Senator Underwood, of Alabama, arose from his seat last Friday and advocated "such alteration of the rules of procedure of the United States Senate as will prevent prompt transaction of the Nation's legislative business." A bevy of opponents were quickly upon their feet objecting to any revision of Senate rules which would make the filibuster impossible or expedite the passage of important measures. The days of the Henry Cabot Lodge "Force Bill" were recalled by senatorial orators; and it was recalled that during its advent "men from the South stood like pillars of granite to defend their people with their strength." Morgan, of Alabama; George, of Mississippi; Vest, of Missouri; Blackburn, of Kentucky; and others of olden days were visualized contending for the stoppage of any rule which might infringe upon the legislative dreams of Dixieland. However, it was Senator Heflin, of Alabama, who finally revealed just why the Lodge Force Bill was so distasteful to the Southland; and, further, just why any cloture rule of modern times, which would put the filibuster under lock and key and otherwise "outlaw" surpausage, immateriality, and incoherence from the Senate, could not possibly be condoned. Here is Senator Heflin's reason: "If the Force Bill had been passed, Federal officers with their bayonets would have held elections in every precinct of the South. Negroes drunk on their new-found freedom, would have made conditions intolerable for the southern white man and his family. Thank God, the Senate rule that existed then and enabled Senator Morgan and others to save the South in those bitter and terrible days still adorns the pages of this August body's parliamentary procedure. I do not know how soon it may be necessary to invoke that rule again. We have with us the Negro problem. The white people of the South are handling this Negro problem as best we can, and we feel that the right thinking people of the North do not want to disturb us. The South believes in white supremacy and she will uphold and sustain it at any cost. Our own welfare and the general welfare of the Nation depend upon it, and I cannot consent for the South to be deprived of the power which she now has to protect and preserve all that is dear in life." Thus endeth the cloture suggestion. The burning embers of hatred have destroyed the bridge of legislative progress. Filibusters can thrive and sand can be thrown upon the rails of good government, all because all the governed are still to be denied a full voice in the affairs of Government. The ballot in Alabama and her sister States, anti-lynching activities, educational equality, and the right to a life of peace—these virtues are all right if kept in their right legislative place, which means everybody, everything, excepting the black millions of the Solid South. The Blue Grass State is passing through some of the many acid tests of interacial relationships to determine whether peace and good will, or suspicions and antipathies shall be the final precipitate of the melting pot of the races. Two of Kentucky's foremost citizens, William Warley and I. Willis Cole, newspaper editors, publicists, and, above all, law-abiding citizens of indomitable courage, have been indicted for criminal libel by the Hopkins County Grand Jury, growing out of published statements relating to the trial of certain Negro alleged murderers, whose sentence has been temporarily stayed, and who have a splendid chance for ultimate freedom, after the Supreme Court of Appeals has reviewed the case. Along with this interacial episode, and inspired, no doubt, by past events in Kentucky, which have been fraught with ill temper and misunderstanding, Louisville is staging a drive for 10,000 members to join the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, for the purpose of showing initiative and courage in the final settlement of present interracial issues. Being on the northern border of the extreme Southland, Kentucky has the chance to set a glorious example to her sister states. Kentucky has a good- ly representation of citizens, white and colored, who believe in peace and justice. Her schools are being given increased appropriations. The ballot is freely given to the Negro. Her clergy and professional men are influential in national life. All in all, a finer degree of interacial understanding is all that Kentucky needs to make itself permanently potent in national American life. Just at this time the State has splendid senatorial representation in Washington. Its Negro vote is all powerful, and the time is ripe for the Negroes in Kentucky to take a firm stand in presenting their case at the bar of American opinion and demanding that their State openly identify itself with Right and Justice and do away with intolerance. Not all Negro Kentuckians can be a "Bill" Warley or a Willis Cole; but all can go through Kentucky's present trial, with the courage to pray and to act in behalf of what has heretofore been a semi-dormant group, but which is now thoroughly alive to the prospect of a greater freedom and a larger future. Colored Methodist Episcopal Church The Colored Methodist Episcopal Church is making an enviable record in its quest for real independence is shown by its Second Quadrennial Report. Accepting the challenge of the white Christian Church that even in religious matters, where the Kingdom of God is the supreme reward sought by the so-called Christian peoples of the world, the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church has organized itself into a tremendously powerful, religious machine which is not only seeking salvation, but, too, is more than willing to travel Heavenward under its own motive power. Beginning with a balance this year of $2,530.59 the C. M. E. Church at once raised $17,955.28 in the regular way, and augmented this sum with $2,293.88 from its various Episcopal districts, making a total budget of $22,779.75, of which it has disbursed up to this time $17,229.75. This disbursement, however, has caused no worry; for the records show that the Secretary on Field Work and Conference was at once ready to turn over to his parent $23,260.40, which leaves the church organization in a healthy condition at the beginning of the present fiscal period. There is pending before the church organization at this time a recommendation for a Million Dollar Endowment to care for Conference claimants and for other needs. Thus has the C. M. E. Church accepted the theory of separation in religious matters, as the way of the world, and has set itself to the task of saving itself. That it will succeed is a foregone conclusion, based upon past successes Bishop N. C. Cleaves and his associate bishops, Dr. Thomas H. Copeland National Secretary-Treasurer, the faithful clergy and the loyal membership of the C. M. E. Church the country over. to be congratulated upon the stern and successful effort they are making to let the world know that their organization is self-preserving in the annals of finance as well as Christianity. De Hart Hubbard If there was any doubt that De Hart Hubbard, crack athlete of the Century Athletic Club and prize scholar and athlete of the Cincinnati Enquirer (white) is the idol of Cincinnati, it was dispelled last Saturday night when the great Negro sprinter and jumper, in winning the 100-yard dash, equaled the world's record of nine and six-tenths seconds. Shortly thereafter Hubbard amazed the spectators by jumping 25 feet $3\%$ inches in the running broad jump event, scoring in all 10 points for the C. A. A. And just to show that American sportdom is trying to be fair in lauding the muscular frames of Negro athletic performers, no less notable critic than Big "Bill" Powers (white) one of the greatest athletic critics of all times, said of Hubbard, after the meet: "Traveling along in an easy, gliding manner, as if he was being wafted by a gentle breeze, the famous Negro star caused spectators at the annual track and field meet conducted by the Cincinnati Gym and Athletic Club, at its grounds in the East End, to gasp as he led Tom Sharkey (white) noted Miami University track star, to the tape in the century days by six feet, and equaled the world's dash record of 9.6 seconds." If there were some additional prototypes of Bill Powers in social, religious, professional, educational, economic, and all the other phases of life in which the Negro is "equaling world's records"—well, wouldn't life be wonderful. NATIONAL SOCIAL CONFER ENCE LARGELY ATTENDED BY NEGROES (By Miss Grace S. Lowndes for Preston News Service) Cleveland, O., June 17.—Among the many things which made the fifty-third Annual Conference of Social Workers, just closed, stand out prominently as far as the Negro is concerned, was the blasting of hopes of the South to land the next meeting in Chattanooga. During the discussion in connection with the selection for the next meeting place many pertinent facts were revealed about the pernicious action the Southerners had taken in 1925 just prior to the New Orleans meeting to segregate the Negro delegates. The conference went definitely on record as opposed to such manifestations of prejudice in selection of Des Moines as next meeting place. If there still lives a man in whose mind there is a doubt of the necessity of efficacy of social work that man ought to have attended this conference. It was most inspiring to see those thousands of the brightest minds of this century, the psychologists, psychiatrists, experts from the different schools of medical service, prison officials, business men, publicity experts as well as representatives from all the many phases of social work. Miss Jane Addams In a public statement, Miss Jane Addams, of the Hull House, Chicago, said: "I am glad to see so many young colored people attend these meetings. That is as it should be. Their's is a constant struggle and they need such inspiration as this conference gives." Negro Often Referred To Almost every speaker in citing a demonstration incident would make it a Negro incident—never prefacing with any "leading up," just statements. Not noting of social conditions or handicaps, but bits of wisdom, of quick report, or native humor or fatalistic acceptance or response to treatment, all were used, quite in the manner that the result of a medical experiment on a guinea pig would be mentioned. Many Negroes Attend There were many of us, quite impossible to ascertain the number. We were accepted as a part of the scheme, nothing special. There were a few Negroes on the program, and at those meetings there would be a considerable number in attendance and a few responses in the general discussions. At other meetings there were very few not due to lack of interest, but to the fact that there were so many events and too few of us to go around. The events followed in such quick succession and there was so much of value and interest taking place at the same time, that the whole thing was about as satisfactory as attendance on a three-ringed circus, causing one to be obsessed with the feeling that the best was going on somewhere else. BAILEY RETURNS TO CITY M. T. Bailey, president of The Bailey Realty Co., 3638 S. State St., who made a long trip east and south, has returned to the city elated. While away, Mr. Bailey attended a family reunion at Morah, N. C., where Mrs. Mary E. Hughes of Moriah, Mrs. Lucille G. Robinson of Chicago, R. H. Bailey of Richmond, Va., and himself, sisters and brothers, and other relatives met for the first time in twenty years, spent June 5th to 8th at Moriah, Leaving North Carolina, Mr. Bailey attended the Alumni Association of the V. N. & I. I. at Petersburg over which he has presided as president for the past twenty years and was reelected president of the same for the term of 1926-28, during which time they expect to raise $50,000 to erect an Alumni building on the school grounds. He renewed his acquaintance with 3,000 graduates, members of the Alumni, former students and leading educators from the country over. He afterwards visited Richmond, Va., as the guest of Rev. and Mrs. W. H. Stokes of Ebenezer Baptist Church; Washington, D. C., as the guest of Drs. J. E. H. Taylor and L. P. Johnson, classmates; the sesquicentennial in Philadelphia, Pa., as the guest of Patterson H. Carter, a graduate of the V. N. & I. I. class of '04, and after visiting other eastern points talking with graduates, returned to Chicago with greater ambition to do a greater work for members of the Race during the year of 1926. AT ST. LOUIS Atty. Walter M. Farmer, 184 W. Washington street, legal adviser of The National Negro Baseball League was in St. Louis, Mo., on Tuesday of this week in interest of the league. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, JUNE 19, 1926 THE PULLMAN PORTERS The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters has announced that it has organized 65 per cent of the porters and maids-employed by the Pullman Company. After due allowance for any statistical optimism in the premises, the showing remains impressive. The union was organized last fall, and to gather in a majority of the employees of a nation-wide service in the space of seven months remains an achievement of no uncertain magnitude. As an American Federation of Labor speaker pointed out at a recent meeting of the porters, many a union has worked for seven years and for three times seven years without succeeding in securing any such percentage of union members among the total employed in its field. The porters are organizing for certain specific and immediate objectives. Instead of allowing the public to underwrite the Pullman Company's pay roll by giving in tips (sometimes) the difference between the $72.50 a month the porters are paid by the company and what it costs them to support their families, the union wants a living wage. It wants, instead of the possible 400 hours a month the porter may be called upon to work, hours and "run" schedules more suited to the needs of a human being—even if there is a chemical deposit in the pigment of his skin. It wants a place provided in sleeping-cars where the human being may occasionally secure a little sleep—when his interminable duties do not for the moment claim him. These are reasonable demands, and nobody with a spark of decency in his heart can do less than wish the porters godspice in their fight. But over and above these specific objectives there looms a larger issue. In all their organization work the officials of the Porters' Union keep this issue constantly to the fore. It has been claimed that the black man is unorganizable. Again and again unscrupulous corporations have recruited from his ranks the "scab" labor which breaks, or tried to break a strike of white workers. Consequently white workers, and particularly the leaders of white workers' unions, have had their more or less inbred racial prejudice intensified by this unhappy fact. The difference in pigmentation has thus got into the arteries, and brewed no fiddle bad blood. If the porters can organize their industry, hold their ranks, prove their fighting ability in the interest of the working class, it will have a profound effect on the attitude of white organized labor. And it will have a profound effect on the organizable capacity of Negro workers in other industries. These men who punch our pillows and shine our shoes and stow our bags under the seat, bear in their black hands no little of the responsibility for the industrial future of their race. Whatever greetings we may give them because we believe in their immediate objects must be increased ten-fold when we realize the full import of their movement—The Nation. DRS. HAYNES AND BELL AT LUNCHEON TO CROWN PRINCE (Preston News Service) New York, June 17—Among the guests at a luncheon Saturday in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in honor of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Sweden, tendered by the Continuation Committee of the American Section of the Universal Christian Conference on Life and Work, the Church Peace Union, The World Alliance for International Friendship, and the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, were Dr. W.

WOMAN SENTENCED 30 YEARS IN RICHMOND AFTER PLEADING GUILTY (Preston News Service) Richmond, Va., June 18.—Sue Body, 20 years old, has been sentenced to serve 30 years in the penitentiary for forgyery. She was sentenced on three charges before Judge Mathews of the Corporation Court. The detectives arreste the woman several weeks ago after a series of bad checks began to appear in the various homes in which she was employed as a domestic. Only two or three of the checks were in excess of $9. All the checks amounted to less than $190. There were a dozen or more cases against her. She entered a plea of guilty to the charges in three cases. Springtime is a particularly interesting season for the younger set—especially the girls between thirteen and seventeen, when all mothers and chaperons are puzzled as to what to do with them, what to approve, what to withhold, and, among other important considerations, how to plan their dress. The girl who is growing up presents a problem, the solving of which, asserts a fashion writer in the New York Times, challenges wisdom, taste and tact. A girl of fourteen may either be just a little girl, loving still the junior frocks, or she may have to be reckoned with in a more sophisticated style of dress. Anticipating the activities of young people during the spring, modistes and shopkeepers have prepared countess attractive models to intrigue the fancy of misses and juniors. This season the needs and longings of these young people have been most cleverly anticipated. Models of frocks, suits, coats, ensembles and millinery for every conceivable occasion have been presented in advance by the cleverest creators of Europe and this country. It is always stimulating to visualize a design for youth and prettiness, and the fashions for young women have become, through late seasons, quite as interesting as those for grown-ups, keeping pace with their new ideas and variants. Sports dress is the first consideration for the spring wardrobe, and the models of this type have never been more attractive. The jumper suit carries on, more popular, if possible, than it was last season. This jolly, chic, wholly comfortable outfit has been found to be adaptable equally to a young girl, a sub-deb or the mother of both. The model has been so universally accepted that this season's version is in a way standardized. Jumpers for Hard Wear. These jumper frocks of wool are intended, of course, for the strenuous sports or general utility of the spring season, when they will receive hard wear, and for occasional use through the later months at seashore or mountain resort. They may be worn with or without a topcoat, most often with just a fur piece or with one of the scarfs of wool, taffeta or crepe in gay colors, so fashionable this season. For frocks of wide use crepes are more in demand than any other single fabric. They are now to be had in many different weaves and weights. Nothing is so definitely suited to a greater number of occasions as the frock of some crepe, from the heavy supple crepe satin to the sheerest crepe Elizabeth or georgette. Bengaline of the heavily corded sort, poplin and taKeta are also among the latest materials used successfully in the jumper frock. All of these offer much comfort because they are worn so easily under the coat, and those made of the more fancy materials, or embellished with needlework, are suitable for more formal occasions. One sees now jumper frocks distinguished from jumper suits because they are made of lighter materials— 10 Scalloped Cape Coat of Navy Jwill Lined in Bright Red. lame, lace, embroidery and the most fragile stuffs. With this simple, matter-of-fact conception as a foundation a surprising number of different styles may be established. The boyish jumper is an intriguing thing. It is smart, easy and gives always a well-groomed appearance, especially to a girl of slim athletic figure. A sports jumper suit of American authorship built of plain and novelty wool goods combined has a blouse that extends well below the hips, with a narrow belt six inches above. A deep shirt bosom buttons down the front of the blouse with a cluster of narrow shoulder tucks. The skirt is plain with the requisite plats arranged at one side. This shirt-bosom model is seen in the se King Must Stay Away The king of England is not allowed o come to listen to the proceedings n the house of commons. very tailored suits made of two materials. Another sports model is composed of jersey cloth in a lovely new shade of coral. The skirt of this is laid in its entire circumference in inverted box plaits, very flat and narrow in effect. The blouse of this slip-on type is sleeveless, with wide armholes, and the neck is cut with a deep V in front. This is finished all around with a stiff band of the goods and is worn over a shirt of white crepe de chine, buttoned high with a soft turnover collar and long sleeves that are finished with a narrow wrist-band. Variants and Modifications. Within certain limitations the blouse or jumper of this two-piece frock has several variants and modifications between that of the sleeveless model in lace over a skirt of G Navy Blue Blouse With Shoulder Cape is Lined in White. chiffon and the severe shirt-bosom blouse or norfolk made of stout goods. One point is especially varied in the latest suits—the length and treatment of the blouse. One model of the slip-on jersey type is embroidered in an amusing manner with a procession of little animals across the front. Another is decorated with a flock of birds and still another with baby elephants. These are not designed for nursery tots, but for young ladies between the ages of fourteen and eighteen. Some exceedingly swagger jumps from Paris are coat-like in character and others are patterned after the classic norfolk jacket, with one of the many new belts of kid, patent leather or suede. A few are shown with fullness brought out through a bias or side clusters of plaits below the belt. In an ultra-smart suit done by Lanvin the short skirt of crepe de chine is plaited so closely as to produce a punctuated ripple at the bottom. Some blouses of velvet flare sharply at the sides and have two little pockets-with flaps and a narrow kid belt. These are worn as slip-ons and the neck, which is slit down the front for eight inches, closes at the throat with a soft turn-down collar. This is a somewhat sophisticated version of the two-piece, which is suitable for one of the seniors of the misses' class. All of the costumes designed for girls and young women this season are not divided. There are one-piece frocks in diversified styles in all the new fabrics and beautiful colors. The flare and blas line so common last year is seldom attempted in the new models. Instead, there are the plaited skirt and fouces, both plaited and gathered, creating the desired fullness in another way. The straight line is being used once more as the starting point by many designers. From shoulder to hip the silhouette is unchanged, with only two novelties in detail—the neck, which now varies from the bateau to the round or pointed, and the sleeve. For the last year the slogan has been a sleeve all the way or no sleeve. Styles in Sleeves. Among the new frocks are some elbow-length sleeves and many more of the very latest style, which is the short cape sleeve cut in one with the bodice, kilmoon fashion. Dresses for every occasion are made with the usual waist, hip length with material gathered on in an entire flounce, or attached in different arrangements. One especially effective model is put together in two sections, each with a straight length of the goods from neck to hem. Every jumper frock from Paris must have a plaited skirt. This requirement solves very cleverly the problem always before the Paris designer of wrestling last year's garments from the glutch of the woman who has grown attached to their smart practicability. The house of Cherruit has added a footnote to this general order, plaiting the jumper blouse as well; and Suzanne Talbot has joined them in urging that the blouse should be lengthened to within a foot of the skirt hem. This suggestion might be more intriguing if we had not already grown too familiar with the long, separate waist known as the tunic blouse. What Really Counts One's age does not depend so much upon the distance from the cradle as upon the way that distance has been traveled. (Copyright.) GORDON DAVIS had very little money of his own, but he had a wealthy aunt and a wealthy uncle, both childless, who hated each other but dotted on Gordon. Both Aunt Clotlta and Uncle James wanted their nephew to make his home with them, but to have taken up his abode with either one would have been tanta-mount to resigning all expectation of being the heir of the other, so Gordon kept bachelor apartments and preserved a difficult neutrality. When Aunt Clotlta arrived at the conviction that Gordon was old enough to be married she picked out a girl for him. Uncle James heard of it and promptly picked out another girl. "You marry Emily Sellinger," said the aunt, "and when I die every cent I have shall be yours. If you marry that Caroline Branxome that disreputable old uncle of yours has picked out for you, you shall never have a penny of mine." "When I die," said the uncle, "all my property—and that's no inconsiderable fortune. I can tell you—will be yours, Gordon, if you marry to suit me. If you marry the girl that crabsed old maid of an aunt of yours has picked out, you need expect nothing from me." And there Gordon was! Obviously he could not marry both the girls and, even if polygamy had been allowable, he would have been no better off, for the one marriage would have offset the other and he would have lost both the fortunes, which, since the death of his parents when he was a boy, he had been brought up to expect one day to be his. He must choose, but to do so would he knew, mortally offend one of his relatives. Then, again, he did not want to marry either Emily or Caroline. Good enough, girls, but not the sort he would have chosen had he been free. So he temporized, and both the aunt and the uncle increased their cash bonuses to him in the hopes of winning him to their side—and their girl. Which enabled Gordon to enjoy life immensely for awhile, although he knew that at the end of the primrose path was awaiting the fatal decision which he must make at last. Then what did he do but go and complicate matters still more by falling in love with Rosa Moorefield. But when it "came down to case" Rosa hesitated. S. *knew all the circumstances and felt that she had no right to accept from the man she loved a sacrifice of all his worldly expectations. Gordon raved. He felt that Rosa didn't really love him or she would not act so contrary. Let Aunt Clotilda and Uncle James keep their old money—he guessed he was young enough, and had brains enough to make his own way in the world and support a wife in the making of it. If Rosa wouldn't have him he would go away and enlist in the Foreign Legion or go out as a missionary to Tibet, or turn monk and end his life amid the snows of the Great Saint Bernard—or do something else that would make Rosa regret her cruelty all the rest of her days. Rosa wept copiously, but remained obdurate. Her conduct so aroused Gordon that he proclaimed publicly that he would marry her in spite of herself and in defiance of all the uncles and aunts in Christendom. Mrs. Potter, who just revealed in mixing herself up in other people's affairs, went off to Aunt Clotilda the minute she heard the news. "Yes," said Miss Clotilda, very pale and very frigid. "I heard of it this morning. Gordon is an ungrateful boy. We will not discuss the matter further." "Oh, certainly not," repiled Mrs. Potter; "I only mentioned it because I hear that his Uncle James is simply furious—is going to cut Gordon off without a cent. Good morning; I must be going." And she hurried right off to Uncle James. This promised to be a "perfect day" with her. Uncle James looked like a thunder-cloud in a frock coat. He had heard the news some hours before and was considering what he could say most scathing to his nephew in the letter by which he proposed to cast him off. "I have just come from Miss Clotilda's," said Mrs. Potter. "I am afraid the shock of Gordon's conduct is going to be too much for her. She looked awfully upset. She's mad clear through and is going to disown him." "Hum, hum," said Uncle James, "Gordon's conduct has been—er—most reprehensible." Off trotted Mrs. Potter to retail her news at somebody's "live o'clock." "So James is going to cut Gordon off, is he? The old brute; that's just like him," thought Miss Clotilda. "Well, I'll put a spoke in his wheel. Won't he be raving when he ends I have taken Gordon's part?" And when Mrs. Potter had vanished from before Uncle James that plutocratic person thought: "So old Tildy is furious, is she? Going to disown the boy. Well, just to plague the woman. I'll tell Gordon it's all right." And thus it came about that Gordon received two letters by the evening mail approving of his choice of Rosa and urging an early marriage. It was all fine, of course, to Mrs. Potter; but she got no thanks for it. The Greek church keeps four Lents which are distributed quarterly throughout the year.

The rank and file are dependent upon trained men and women for guid- ance and extraordinary service.” | Examples of signal success by mem- bers of the race in many diversified lines led Mr. Jones to the conclusion that there can be no generalization made of the Negro’s capacity and out- Jook and therefore no generalization of the type of training Negroes should receive. “Mental tests,” he declared, “whether of racial groups or of classes of persons, white or black from the north and from the south, have proven nothing except that environment and ‘opportunity count most. Talent and bent should determine whether you should prepare to enter some lines of activity where Negroes have made no headway. Plan to make your contribu- tion to the welfare of humanity in some definite line. Achievement should be your watchword. The aggregate service of Negroes to our country's prosperity has been tremendous. This service could be even greater with a better type of leadership which you should help to develop.” HOLD ANNIVERSARY ‘The various councils of A. U. K. & D. of A. and iilitary department, un- der the direction of Mrs. Eliza Jack: son, state grand queen of Illinois and Col. Wm. Williams, held their anni. versary exercises last Sunday afternoor at Pilgrim Baptist Church and a! which time Rev. C. J.

Nested in Lamp Post A few years ago in s London suburb a pair of blue tits built their nest inside a tamp post. The birds entered just under the glass, but they probably went right to the bottom and made their mossy home on the ground. In this dark but per- fectly safe place a large family was reared. The remarkable sequel was that six years Iater several lamp posts in the district were oceupied by blue tits, Wood Best Insulator ‘The bureau of standards says wood ts the best Insulator for ice. How- ever, it is as impossible to keep an ice box cold without melting the tee as it would be to keep a stove hot with- out burning coal. Of course, an ice box should be so constructed as to prevent the heat from the outside get- ting into the Interfor of the bor. Dust Everywhere Experiments made by Doctor Alken indicate that there 1s no dustless at- mosphere. Air with less than 100 particles of dust per cubic centimeter is raréty found. In most country places the numbers rise to thousands and in cities to as high as 100,000 to 160,000 particles per cubic centimeter. Territory of Orleans ‘The entire territory comprising the Louisiana Purchase was of too great ‘an extent-to be erected into one single state. It was therefore divided to comprise a number of states. The act of March 26, 1804, erected the ter- ritory of Orleans, which was south of the thirty-third parallel. Life to Rabber Plant ‘If the leaves of your rubber plant turn yellow, loosen the dirt around the ‘edge of the pot and remove the plant to a different pot. The root may be pot-bound or the soll might be wormy, but in elther case it ts wise to repot the plant. P.
