Green, Who Stands at the Head of the Great Knight of Pythias Organization. And He Has Had a Remarkable Career From His Boyhood Days to the Present. A short while ago, under the leadership of Supreme Chancellor Hon. S.W. Green, a celebration was held in New Orleans. The beautiful Knights of Pythias Temple was paid out of debt and the significant fact brought the two races in New Orleans much closer together—for this temple cost a great deal of money—in all $200,000; and money, you know, has the magic charm of bringing to pass good-will and friendliness where other things fail. The prompt discharge of financial obligations promotes a certain kind of confidence that is enduring. Moreover, the success of this enterprise in New Orleans was due from the start to the cordial co-operation of the bankers of that city. This cooperation was the result of the faith which these bankers have in the integrity of the leader of the movement. His business ability is well known—his faithfulness and prudence have been well tested in the estimation of the best commercial circles—he is regarded as a substantial citizen. Mr. Green is one of the outstanding, dominating personalities among the Negroes in the United States. He is the supreme chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. His manly attitude on all questions, his plain speech, his honest methods, his unassuming manners, has conspired to make him a great power among the Knights of Pythias. MAJOR ROBERT R. JACKSON Major-General of the Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias, throughout the world, who will on Friday, August 19, proudly march through the streets of Chicago at the head of his real live soldiers. ```markdown ``` Rights of Pythias throughout the land to his present exalted position before the K.

He is obviously one of the safest leaders the race has produced, and it is fortunate that thinking men in the ranks of the order have long since agreed that he is equal to every responsibility and every duty the fraternity imposes upon him. Mr. Green's home and headquarters are located at New Orleans, La. In this great city he is highly respected and honored by all classes; he is held in high regard by the bankers and business men of his community—the real test of the character and standing of the individual. It was through his influence that the bankers of New Orleans advanced the K. of P. $75,000 to finish and equip the great $200,000 Pythian Temple which was erected in that metropolis a few years ago. These influential business men assured him that as long as he was at the head of the order in New Orleans they would protect the financial interests of the organization—paying him the compliment of their fullest confidence in his business ability, fidelity, acumen and sagacity. At the last meeting of the Supreme Lodge at St. Louis, Mo., it was clearly demonstrated that the order has made wonderful progress under the guidance of Chancellor Green. The sessions were the most successful it has held in its history and the entire convention was conducted under the most favorable conditions—harmony and concord characterized every day's session. At the election of officers there was practically no opposition to the slate and the old officers were re-elected. This was also true of the women's department, the Courts of Calanthe, and likewise the Uniform Rank. The entire regime of the present officers has been marked by the most singular prosperity and no little degree of credit is due the presiding genius of the order for keeping and maintaining this splendid condition. Chancellor Green first joined the Knights of Pythias in 1883, when in the month of July of that year, as a charter member, he helped to form Tensas Lodge No. 21. He is the pride of Louisiana, the state in which he was born. He has served as grand chancellor in the state from 1892 to the present time, declining the office for two years, 1897-98; but being re-elected in 1899, he has been continued in that office ever since. He succeeded S. W. Starks in 1908 as supreme chancellor and was elected (Continued on Page 4) (Continued on Page ) THE BROAD AX 5 CENTS PER COPY throughout the stated position's Supreme all times Sir right place. ```markdown ``` The Knights of Pythias from All Parts of the World Will Assemble in Chicago Where the Grand Lodge of that Order Will Hold Its Sessions the Coming Week The People of this City Are Ready to Receive Them With Open Arms and Many of the South Side Thoroughfares Are Being Gayly Decorated in Honor of Their Coming The following program will be rendered during the sessions of the Knights of Pythias in this city: Sunday—2.30 P.

He is one of the high chiefs of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows and a prominent K. P., and he hopes the Knights of Pythias will enjoy their visit to Chicago. Hon. Geo. T. Kersey has become a power in the civic and political affairs of Illinois. Only a few months ago he saved the life of Louis Washington after Sheriff Graydon and 3 million people in Cook County behind him had utterly failed to change the mind of Governor Small relative to his death. It will be recalled that several months ago Louis Washington, a Colored man had been convicted in the criminal court of Cook County for committing murder and he was awaiting for the death sentence to be carried out in the Cook County jail. ernor's mansion he induced Hon. A. H. Roberts to accompany him in to see the Governor. Senator Roberts did none of the talking and as Mr. Kersey stood face to face with the Governor he anticipated what he was going to say and choked him off before he could utter one word by saying that the Louis Washington case was closed. That he proposed to let the law take its course in the matter. Then Mr. Kersey made the greatest plea of his life to save the life of Louis Washington. He talked so long and so eloquently that Governor Small finally made up his mind to change the death sentence of Louis Washington to life imprisonment. Many liberal minded people in this city, after they had familiarized themselves through the columns of the newspapers pertaining to the inside life of him had become greatly interested in him. For they learned that he had no relatives nor friends or money, no one interested in him to the extent of extending a helping hand. At that point many people by letter and in person appealed to Governor Small, emploring him to change the death sentence of Louis Washington to imprisonment for life. Sheriff Graydon of this county joined in with those who endeavored to save his life. The sheriff of this county also journeyed to Springfield in his behalf and after an interview with Governor Small, he evaded giving him a direct answer. As to his intentions in the matter at that time Sheriff Graydon was forced to return home without accomplishing much. In the course of a day or two Governor Small sent him a telegram stating that the Louis Washington case was closed, that he would hear no further argument in the case, that he must hang according to law. Then Sheriff Graydon, with Governor Small's telegram in his pocket and with 3 million people of Cook County behind him, rushed to see Mr. Kersey and urged him to endeavor to save the life of Louis Washington. And Mr. Kersey without stopping with Sheriff Graydon's telegram in his pocket boarded a fast train for Springfield.

He talked so long and so eloquently that Governor Small finally made up his mind to change the death sentence of Louis Washington to life imprisonment. It must be admitted that owing to the eloquence and high standing of Mr. Kersey that Louis Washington breaths the breath of life today. In passing from this incident it must be admitted that Mr. Kersey is always willing to assist the Colored people in their struggle upward and during the last session of the legislature he had the salaries of more than 200 janitors around the state house and so on increased from $200 to $400 and he did not charge or ask them for one cent for helping them along. At the last session of the legislature for the first time in the history of this state a Colored member of it was selected to serve as chairman of an important sub committee of the house of representatives and Governor Small conferred that honor on the Hon. George T. Kersey. In placing that high responsibility on the shoulders of Mr. Kersey, he was urged to take plenty of time and with the aid of the other members of his sub-committee to lay in his hands a complete report of the amount of money expended in connection with the Kankakee Asylum, within the past two years. on case near no that he Then governor set and County Kersey to save .

With the past brilliant legislative record behind him it will be a difficult job for any one to dethrone Mr. Kersey as the best and the highest leader of the Republican party, white or Colored in the 3rd Senatorial district of Illinois.

Wood rose to the foremost rank of American generals, his active duty culminating in the governor generalship of the Philippine islands after he had served four years as chief of the general staff of the army, the topmost military command. While his rapid promotion, ascribed largely to his close friendship with Theodore Roosevelt, was the subject of frequent criticism in military circles, Gen. Wood's service was recognized throughout the establishment as of the highest type. His first official commendation for gallantry came during hostilities with the Apache Indians in 1885, when he received the congressional medal of honor for bravery, and his work throughout the world war, limited as it was, from the general's standpoint, won him the distinguished service medal "for especially meritorious and conspicuous service."

Commissioner "Why have diphtheria? "Do you know that diphtheria kills more young children than any other disease? "Do you know that diphtheria can be prevented? "Do you know that science has shown how diphtheria can be wiped off the face of the earth? "Do you know that there are cities in the United States in which there are no deaths from diphtheria? "Why have diphtheria?" asks Dr. Bundesen, in his latest bulletin. Every case of diphtheria means that somebody has neglected to protect the child. Every death from diphtheria means that somebody has been criminally negligent." "While Chicago's record in low diphtheria rate is a source of satisfaction, nevertheless a better record would be no diphtheria at all. Something is wrong in a community which will not protect its children against one of the deadliest enemies of childhood," states the commissioner. "Diphtheria is caused by a germ which gets started usually by growing in the nose or throat. "Diphtheria germs produce a poison called 'toxin', which is carried by the blood to all parts of the body, damaging the organs and tissues, and thus causing paralysis and death. "Antitoxin' is an antidote for the poison ('toxin') of the germ which causes diphtheria. 'Antitoxin' will cure the sick child if it is given promptly," says Dr. Bundesen. "From the second to the tenth year of life, diphtheria is the greatest enemy of childhood. Nearly every child can be made absolutely safe against diphtheria by receiving three tiny injections of 'toxin-antitoxin' under the skin. This is a safe and harmless treatment. It is your duty as a parent to have this done for your children. "Safeguard your children and get rid of one more cause for mercy." "Now is the time to have the young-sters protected against diphtheria. If you cannot afford to have your own doctor give 'toxin-antitoxin,' it will be given your child, without charge, at the nearest welfare station," offers Dr. Bundesen. ARKANSAS JURY IN MURDER TRIAL DISAGREES Arkadelphia, Ark. Aug. 11. — With eight holding out for life imprisonment and four for death penalty, the jury in the trial of Frank Brock, charged with the murder of R. C. Tyson, marshal of Gourdin, was dismissed Wednesday afternoon. A new trial has not been set. Soon after the jury reported that it was unable to agree and before the judge could order it to continue deliberations, one of the jurors became sick and was discharged. Brock is alleged to have killed the marshal on May 18. Allen Willis, who says he was with Brock when Brock shot the officer, testified for the state. He said Brock killed the marshal after he had questioned Brock and himself about a robbery at Gourdin. Willis said that he and Brock both fled after the shooting. Willis was soon arrested and a week later Brock was captured at Fort Smith. Willis never was indicted. TO ATTEND SUPREME COURT Mrs. Laura A.

The front porch of the residence of Zack Cook was entirely demolished and the windows in an apartment house nearby, occupied by white persons, was smashed by the detonation of what police say was a large quantity of dynamite. Cook's family was in the house, but all escaped injury. Moses Lindley reported an attempt to dynamite his home, but said that the only damage was a hole in the yard. It appears that these families live in sections of the city where whites do not want them. Both families had received threatening messages and a "committee" visited Lindley and warned him to move. Cook told police that he would move as he did not want to lose his life; in fact he was willing to leave the city. Lindley said he was undecided.

N. C. MILL SUPPLANTS NEGRO LABOR WITH WHITE EMPLOYES Fayetteville, N. C., Aug. 12.—With one of the mills of the plant already in operation, the new owners of the Hawthorne silk mills here are receiving enthusiastic encouragement in their efforts here to place white labor in one of the two factories. The mills have heretofore been run with Negro operatives exclusively, but when the company was recently purchased by Albert Press and A. Brawer, of Paterson, N. J., they proposed to use white weavers in one mill. Their advertisements for labor of this kind is meeting with an encouraging response, according to officials of the local chamber of commerce, who are giving the new owners every assistance in their power. At first there was considerable apprehension that the plan of using the two races in separated plants would not prove feasible, but it is said that satisfactory arrangements have been worked out and it looks as though the LPED 94 PEI 94 PEU 94 Member of the Board of Review of Cook County, and officially connected with three or four so this city, and extensively interested in various of business, who is one of the strongest boon Charles S.

It is reported that Mr. Brawer has purchased Mr. Press' interest in the plant and is now the sole owner. His son is now in Fayetteville and is said to plan taking control of the manufacturing operations. The Brawers are experienced silk manufacturers and are said to have little faith in Negro workers, claiming that they have never had any experience handling Negroes. Mr. Brawer says that he expects to have the plant operating at full capacity in a short time and that the payroll will run something over $6,000 a week. "If I find that the Negro operatives are as good as the whites I may continue to operate the mills as now — one with whites and one with colored workers." The Hawthorne mills were placed in the hands of a receiver about two years ago. Officials of the chamber of commerce estimate that the present ownership will soon have the mills running steady and exceeding their former capacity by a much larger scale. ```markdown ``` law of Cook County, successfully with three or four solid banks in interested in various other lines the strongest boomers of Hona- president of the United States in- dy to march under his banner use at Washington, D.

A NOVEL THAT'S DIFFERENT (By Georgia Douglas Johnson) (Preston News Service) "One Drop of Midnight" is the title of a new novel by Kenneth Phillips Britton that deals with the mixed blood. This is a departure from the old line of racial books, perhaps more like one would find by the author of the "Silver Fleece." Mr. Britton gets his idea from the poem, entitled "The Octoroon," by Georgia Douglas Johnson, with special bearing upon the lines that run: "One drop of midnight in the blood of life's pulsating stream, Marks her an alien from her kind, a shade amid its sheen." This poem has had quite a run, having first appeared in the Liberator Magazine, and then included in the Braithwaite Anthology of Magazine verse and lastly incorporated in a book by the author called "Bronze."

S. Public Health Service. The Mississippi State Board of Health asked the government to cooperate in the fight, against the disease, said to be due chiefly to bad or insufficient food. Brewers' yeast, virtually forgotten since prohibition, is a preventative and cure for pellagra, according to Assistant Surgeon General C. C. Pierce. Good fresh food is another essential preventative. Pellagra is more or less endemic throughout the poorer sections of the South and is well known to be caused by a poorly balanced, too cheap diet. It is a starvation disease, and can be expected to follow the flood unless food is received. WILL ENTERTAIN Ft. Dearborn Lodge No. 44 and Ft.

THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, AUGUST 13, 1927 DAYTON NOMINEE FANS RACE HATRED IN CAMPAIGN SPEECHES (Preston News Service) Dayton, Ohio, Aug. 11.—Things are waxing warm here as the campaign nears a close. To listen to some of the candidates making their plea for votes one would think he was in the heart of Mississippi listening to James K. Vardaman asking the red necks of Mississippi to support him so that he could go to Washington and keep the "Niggers in their place." Alleging that Negroes were gradually but surely ousting the whites from their West Side homes, and that Negro men were meeting white women on the hills around the city holding clandestine siestas in the cool of the evening, Dr. Nicum, candidate for city commissioner, injected race hatred into his strenuous campaign in a meeting in the U. B. church, while excited whites gave vent to their outraged feelings with "tar 'em, feather 'em!" Dr. Nicum charged the present city administration with being too friendly with Negroes and allowing them too much privilege. Being unable to arouse interest in the usual campaign promises, Dr. Nicum has taken this method to insult the Negro citizens of Dayton and at the same time sow the seeds of race hatred in the minds of the large crowd of maudlin whites who fear the contest with Negroes in thrift and economic struggle. He appears to be determined to arouse the ignorant whites to a pitch where race war will be an imminent possibility. As I sat there quietly listening and calmly surveying the whole situation, someone shouted that a reporter for that "Nigger loving society," the N. A. A. C. P., was in the audience and ready to carry back information on every action and resolution taken. None of them turned their eyes on me as I turned to look about to see who the person might be that was a reporter from that organization. Cries of "Lynch him" arose. However, no one rushed out nor did anybody make a suspicious move. But I was there, nevertheless, not as a member of the N. A. A. C. P., but as a man who loves justice and one who will use good sense and play safe, but who will attend the meetings and spread the news. However, I must say that in a very earnest and able letter to the Dayton Journal, J. E. Bush, president of the N. A. A. C. P., pointed out that if Negroes were buying out the West Side the whites were selling it, and if Negroes were on the hills around Dayton, it was white women who came to meet them. This sort of clandestine association between opposite sexes of the races was to be sincerely regretted by both races and decent people everywhere condemns such conduct. SEGREGATION INCREASES IN GOVERNMENTAL BUREAUS Washington, D. C., Aug. 12. Charging that jim-crow tactics and segregation of Negroes in government employ is being speeded up in the temporary absence of Secretary Work, Negro leaders point to the discharge recently of four Negro employees as evidence. The four colored men removed from the floor of the pension bureau of the Department if the Interior, where they had contacts with whites, has caused a nationwide expression of disapproval among Negroes. They were the last of twenty-five Negroes to go from the pension floor. It is claimed that during the Harding and Coolidge administrations segregation has rapidly increased. Many complaints have been made to President Coolidge, it is said, but he has consistently refused to do anything about the situation. COUNTERFEITERS BROUGHT BACK TO NEW ORLEANS New Orleans, La., Aug. 12. Removal of Gus Purnell from Chicago to New Orleans, to face counterfeiting charges, has been granted by Illinois authorities in which state Purnell was arrested. Participants in a gambling game at Baton Rouge on July 4 were victimized by Purnell, who was described as the bearer of the bag of gold. The coins turned out to be counterfeit and came into the hands of secret service men who traced the source to Chicago. Purnell is said to have come to New Orleans and Baton Rouge as a member of the holiday excursion party from Chicago.

Mitchel and Ben Fernandis After the theater, Wednesday night, November 12 at the Grace Hickox Studio in the Fine Arts building (Chicago), Marion Kerby, of the "Seventh Heaven" company, got together a group of personalities in musical and theatrical circles to honor Ruth St Denis and her husband, Ted Shawn who were dancing that evening at Orchestra Hall. Included among the guests were Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Stock, Mr. and Mrs. Frederick J. Wessels, Mr. and Mrs. Jacques Gordon, all of the Chicago Symphony orchestra, Miss Eva Le Galliene, Mr. Basil Rathbone, Mr. Reginald Owen and Mr. Ritchie Ling of "The Swan" company, Mary Nash, who was playing that week in a one-act sketch "Fear" at the Palace, Ouida Bergere, also Miss Mabel Bert and Mr. Franklin of the "Seventh Heaven" company, and Charles Weidman, solo dancer with the Denishawns. In addition to telling several Negro dialect stories and singing some spirituals in a very charming manner, as part of an impromptu program, Miss Kerby presented Major Smith and The Business Men's Quartet (mentioned elsewhere on this page) who were received as nothing short of a sensation by the guests. Mr. Weidman gave his "Dance Americane" and "Pierrot." Miss St. Denis gave a Chinese number and Mr. Shawn did two Spanish dances, all of which made the writer eager for their appearance in Erie as one of the numbers on the Elks' course next spring.—Daily Times, Erie, Penn. THE CHICAGO BUSINESS MEN'S QUARTET The members of this quartet, because of their keen appreciation of the worth of their songs and their knowledge of the correct interpretation, banded themselves together for the sole purpose of giving to the public these correct interpretations. In this connection, in co-operation with Major N. Clark Smith's studio research work, arranging, compiling and publishing of Negro Folk Songs will be carried on. MRS. OLIVIA SCOTT INJURED IN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 11. — Mrs. Olivia Scott, aged 30, was cut about the face and body and legs, Thursday night, when an automobile in which she was riding with her husband collided with another machine, driven by C. V. Hughes, at Gibbons and Hill dreth avenues. BACK-TO-AFRICA GROUP ROUNDUP UP BY POLICE (Preston News Service) Chattanooga, Tenn., Aug. 12. — A general round-up of members of the Negro Union Improvement Association, an organization purporting to foster a "Back-to-Africa" movement, was begun Friday by police as the result of a gun battle Thursday night in which officers and approximately 40 members of the N. U. I. A. exchanged several hundred shots. Two members of the association were shot, perhaps fatally, and a policeman was shot through the thigh. It is claimed by members of the organization that the whites of the South do not want them to leave and as a means to keep the Negroes in the South are always spying on them and will not allow them to hold any meetings for fear that plans are being made to leave. According to police the organization was refused permission to hold a public street meeting four weeks ago and since that time reports of secret activities have been received by the police. Thursday night police were notified of a meeting in a house in the Negro section. Police said that when they arrived they found much loud talk and decided that the meeting was a nuisance and proceeded to break it up. When the officers approached the house, they were stopped inside the hall by a man in a pompous uniform who was armed with a repeating rifle. He was told that the men entering were police and was ordered to put his rifle down. Instead he raised the weapon to his shoulder and covered the officers. At the same time he was joined by three other men, members of the N. U. I. A., each armed with repeating rifles. Police say someone fired a shot. It was thought to have come from the interior of the house. Captain Hyatt, in charge of the police detail, kicked out the lights, and the shooting became general, as the members of the N. U. I. A. swarmed from the house into the street. It is said that police are searching many Negro homes loking for rifles and ammunition. MOREHOUSE PREPARES FOR RECORD ENROLLMENT Morehouse college is making preparations for one of the largest enrollments in the history of the institution. While it has not yet been deemed advisable to cut off the academy because of the lack of accredited high schools in the state of Georgia, the academy will be limited to about 100 students so as to provide for the increasing number of college men who apply each year. Only thirty of the most promising applicants for the first-year academy will be admitted. In keeping with the tradition of personal contact between student and teacher, the college is instituting a new system of faculty advisers whereby each student will have a faculty adviser in his major field who will assist him in making out his schedule, give him necessary information regarding his lifework, and discuss with him problems pertinent to his social, financial, and intellectual welfare. This year the college will inaugurate freshman week, beginning September 22. All freshmen are expected to be present. Lectures, exercises, and socials will be held in order to assist freshmen in finding their place in college life, getting acquainted with one another and the traditions of the college, and realizing the higher possibilities and larger responsibilities of life. With an enlarged faculty the college is offering new and more specialized courses for those majoring in biology, business administration, chemistry, the classics, education, English, history and government, mathematics, and physics.

TRY TO IMPLICATE RACE IN SACCO-VANZETTI DEMONSTRATIONS N. C. MUTUAL GLEE CLUE SINGS FOR U. N. C. SUMMER SCHOOL Boston, Mass., Aug. 11. — In what appears to be a well-laid plan to further cast aspersions on the Negro race a report was broadcast throughout the world Saturday morning to the effect that Mary Harris, a 14-year-old mulatto girl, attempted to set fire to the statehouse, but was frustrated by a guard. She was seized, it is said, as she was trying to ignite a section of the building. Superintendent of buildings and grounds stated that the girl had refused to identify herself further than to tell her name. It is believed by the police that she is a Sacco-Vanzetti sympathizer. It is also reported that she is not a Negro girl but a dark-skinned Italian girl. Police are making an effort to discover the girl's identity. 15 FAMILIES ROUTED BY HOMESTEAD FIRE Homestead, Pa., Aug. 12. — Fifteen families were forced to flee and damage estimated at $17,500 resulted when a three story brick apartment house and storerooms at 305-7-9 Dickson street, Homestead, were partially destroyed by fire Wednesday. Firemen were summoned when flames were discovered issuing from the storeroom of the A. Morrison jewelry store, 307 Dickson street.

History records the testimony of many great men, some living and others dead, who attribute the source of their success to the kind advice or assistance and encouragement of a mother, wife, sister or some woman friend Mrs. S. W. Green of New Orleans, La., the adorable wife of Supreme Chancellor Green of the Knights of Pythias, has played and is playing an important part in many movements for the good of the race. For more than a quarter of a century Mrs. Green has gone side by side with her distinguished husband in the affairs of life and has contributed much to his success. She possesses rare business ability and tactful qualities which make her a valuable assistant in the affairs of Mr Green. She has both natural and acquired ability as well as practical experience in business. For ten years she served as clerk bookkeeper, cashier and purchasing agent for Mr. S. W. Green in Lake Providence, La., while he was engaged in business in that town. She was also a partner in the business, being the wife of the young merchant. She was interested in him and assisted him long before he became Grand Chancellor of the Pythians of Louisiana. It was Mrs. Green's zealous work and good advice which greatly assisted Chancellor Green in his upward climb. Since 1900 Mrs. Green has devoted her time and talent in helping to build up the Pythian Order in the state. She is private secretary to the Supreme Chancellor, because most of the time he is away from the city visiting lodges and looking into details throughout the country, and she is in charge of the office. She is well posted on the condition of the Order. Every morning, when it is time to open the office she is there and remains until closing time. She gives attention to every detail. She is the banker and makes all remittances from the office, so that when business claiming the attention of the Supreme or Grand Chancellor is to be looked after and he is out of the city, Mrs. Green looks after it promptly. The Pythians and members of the Court of Calanthe are proud of her and the service she is rendering to the Order. Mrs. Green organized the club of members which was instituted as Star of Calanthe Court No. 27, Order of Calanthe, of New Orleans, La., by the Grand Worthy Counsellor, Mrs. Cora M. Allen, in February, 1902, and was the first Worthy Counsellor of the Court. Mrs. Green was the first representative of her Court to the Grand Court, Order of Louisiana, held at Baton Rouge, La., in April, 1903, and was reelected as representative for Star of Calanthe Court No. 27, O. O. C., continuously until she declined the reelection in the year 1910. At the meeting of the Supreme Court, Order of Calanthe, held in Louisville, Ky., in September, 1907, she was given the degree of Past Grand Worthy Counsellor by unanimous vote of the Supreme Court at that session, for meritorious service, acting as secretary and assistant, without compensation, to her husband, the Supreme Worthy Counsellor. Mrs. Green has served as Supreme Representative from the Grand Court, O. O. C. of Louisiana, beginning with the session held at Indianaapolis, Ind., in August, 1911, and has attended each session of the Supreme Court since that date as representative of the Grand Court, O. O. C. of Louisiana, and is now a representative for the Grand Court for the said state. Mrs. Martha B.

HON. S. W. GREEN, HEAD OF THE KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS, ONE OF THE BEST KNOWN BUSINESS MEN IN THIS COUNTRY. (Continued From Page 1) to that office in 1909, and has been re-elected at every session since. The Supreme Lodge meets in convention every two years. At the last convention held in St. Louis, over 4,000 uniform rank members were encamped, while fully 10,000 delegates and friends attended the sessions. Twenty-four grand lodges from as many states were represented; and the military parade, the climax to the convention, was pronounced one of the most impressive and beautiful ever witnessed in St. Louis. Crowds of people in every walk of life lined the streets and applauded the Knights as they passed by. The competitive drill, which took place at night in the great Coliseum, attracted a crowd that filled the building to its utmost capacity. Taken by and large this convention aided the Colored people in making favorable sentiment and will long linger in the minds of the people as indicating the dignity and self-respect of a class struggling for fair play and justice. At this convention the illuminating facts were brought out that the resources of the Knights of Pythias amounted to $1,770,000 in cash and property. Eleven magnificent Grand Lodge temples have been erected ranging in value from $25,000 to over $200,000; while many temples owned by local lodges run into large investments. The Supreme Lodge owns a row of brick flats in Chicago valued at nearly $50,000, a bath house and sanitorium at Hot Springs, Arkansas valued at $22,000, and other valuable property. At the last session the Supreme Lodge was authorized to erect in Chicago a temple to cost $200,000. A man who stands for so much and who has achieved so much for the material upbuilding of the race, cannot long be stigmatized or held in contempt, once his history is well known. Chancellor Green is a man of vision and purpose and the great $200,000 temple erected by his faith in the race at New Orleans, stands as a monument to his genius for organizing and holding harmoniously together members of the Negro race. Bulletin No.17 BEWARE OF THE FAKE PEDDLER By Chief of Police Michael Hughes Many thousands of Chicagoans are swindled annually by fake salesmen and women, who, under the pretense of selling imported scarfs, laces, or rugs, are really marketing fraudulent merchandise. These swindlers use almost every known variety of household furnishings for their wares. There is the fakir who sells what he holds out to be genuine Irish linen, tablecloths and napkins, which turn out to be cheap inferior stuff. Oriental merchandise is the great lure for the unwary buyer: rugs, pottery, vases and silks are sold at fabulous prices solely on the representation that they are foreign importations. Furs are another source of great revenue to fake salesmen. Cheap rabbit fur is often passed off by them for skins of the finest grade. These furs are dyed by the fake salesmen and sold for scarfs and coats. Almost every line of merchandise finds its fakir. House furnishings, pianos, various ornaments and trinkets, all furnish an opportunity for the unscrupulous fakir. The proper thing to do is to patronize only legitimate dealers, whose name stands back of their goods, and whose integrity is unquestioned. Here there is no reason for substitution. You pay a reasonable price and if the goods are not right, they will be exchanged. On the other hand, after you have purchased from a fakir at your back door, you will probably never see him again and your money is gone for good.

BREEN, FIRST ASSISTANT CORPORATION COUNSEL OF CHICAGO, WHO IS HELD IN THE HIGHEST ESTEEM BY ALL CLASSES OF HIS FELLOW CITIZENS. Hon. James W. Breen, the able, wise and far-seeing first assistant corporation counsel of Chicago, was born in this great city, August 31, 1873. He was the bright and dutiful son of Thomas and Mary Breen and for many years he resided with his parents in their old homestead at 5241 South Morgan street. Being a thoroughbred Chicagoan, he received his early education from its public schools and after drinking in all the education he possibly could in that direction, he graduated from them with all the high honors which were due him. At the end of that period he attended the Bryant and Stratton Business college and the old Chicago Anthemaeum where he very successfully completed his commercial education. Later on in life he graduated with the highest honors from the law department of the Lake Forest university, and he was admitted to the Chicago bar and the Illinois bar in 1897, and a short time after that date he received his commission to practice in the United States Supreme court at Washington, D.C. It must be said to the everlasting credit of Mr. Breen that right from the very start he met with great success in the practice of his chosen profession and for many years he has been one of the popular members of the Chicago Bar association, Knights of Columbus, Catholic Order of Foresters, Irish Fellowship club, Royal Arcanum, the Modern Woodmen of America, the Illinois State Bar association, Lawyers' Association of Illinois, Hamilton club, and the Thomas David branch of the American Association for the Recognition of the Irish Republic. From 1907 to 1911 he served with honor to himself and to the citizens of Chicago as assistant prosecuting attorney, under the late Mayor Fred Busse. In 1915 Mayor William Hale Thompson selected Mr. Breen as assistant corporation counsel of Chicago and as he made good in every way in his humbler position that in December, 1920, he was chosen as first assistant corporation counsel of Chicago, and to the great credit to himself and to all of the people of Chicago he at all times discharged all of the responsible duties of his honored position with great legal and executive ability. In 1919 Mr. Breen was happily united in marriage to Miss May Lewis, who is ever so loving and charming. Mr. and Mrs. Breen reside in a beautiful home of their own at 947 West 54th place, and we feel highly honored to number them among our very best friends in Chicago, and once each week this newspaper finds its way into their beautiful home and it occupies a place on the center table in their front parlor, where the lady friends of Mrs. Breen can read it from time to time. In the past Mr. Breen ably served as assistant state's attorney of Cook county and he discharged all the duties of his position with great ability. On the re-election of Mayor William Hale Thompson lately, one among his first official acts was to reselect Hon. James W. Breen as first assistant corporation counsel of Chicago and Mayor Thompson displayed a lot of good horse sense in redrafting him back into the public service. Mrs. Gertrude Hart, 4524 Calumet avenue, will spend the next two weeks at Mt. Clements and Idlewild, Mich. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Riley, of 4517 Calumet avenue, have departed for Woodland resort, near Idlewild, Mich., where they will spend some ten or twelve days.

HAYES FEELS PROUD TO BE ABLE TO CELEBRATE THE SEVENTEENTH ANNIVERARY OF THE FOUNDING OF HIS BOOK STORE More than seventeen years ago, Mr. A. D. Hayes started in a small way in selling weekly newspapers, Bibles, song books, dream books and books on love and so on. home, where they can find all the leading daily and weekly newspapers throughout the country, including The Broad Ax. Mr. Hayes deserves much credit for sticking to his business through thick and thin and is now getting on his feet in good shape. Miss Irene Smith, who is very popular with all the patrons of the store, has ably assisted him in conducting an up to date book store. At that time he was located at 3640 S. State street, later on moving to 3618 State, where he has a real, live, honest-to-goodness book store, his stock consisting of many new and rare old books on many subjects and as he is in the midst of celebrating his seventeenth anniversary he will for the present time sell Bibles and all kinds of other books at greatly reduced prices. Mr. Hayes also handles a large stock of cigars, tobacco, watermelon on ice, all kinds of beverages or soft drinks and the best ice cream soda in Chicago.

Treasurer of Cook County, on arriving home the first of the week from his annual trip abroad, presented the City with $10,000,000. While in the Old World, he secured many valuable oil paintings and many other works of real art for his wonderful art gallery, which will in time be presented to the City of Chicago. Hon Geo. F. Harding, who so far has proven himself to be the best and most business-like treasurer that Cook county has ever had, on his return home this week from an extensive tour through some parts of Europe, has turned over to the city of Chicago over $1,000,000 in moneys as the fulfillment of a campaign pledge. chased a daring artistic conception of striking lines and colors called "Death Directs the Bullet." He added to his collection of old masters by securing at a high price a Rubens, a painting of the artist and his wife by Rubens himself. This was one of the foremost masterpieces of the Munich galleries where Mr. Harding purchased it. Through his tax maneuvering Mr. Harding has turned over, up to date, $100,000,000 for the administering of the city schools. On his trip abroad Mr. Harding increased by purchases the already stupendous collection of his art gallery.

Among other pieces of art secured by the county treasurer were a stone sarcophagus, a wooden sarcophagus, four musical instruments of rare tone and design of the sixteenth century, one of Napoleon's battle flags, and four suits of armor. The prompt turnover which Mr. Harding manipulated during the first year of his treasureship has saved the numerous taxing bodies a total of more than $1,000,000, thereby stamping him in the history of Cook county one of the most economic and honest administrators that office has ever had.

C., Recently Bird's-Eye View of the Gathering By Mrs. Nora E. Lee of Chicago Camp No.21 Our Supreme Vice Commander H. L. Billups was master of ceremonies and is always at his best in this capacity, for he believes in giving every man his flowers now, so each speaker had to do his very best. The men selected for this opening night as well as every session which followed were real educators and business men to whom you found it a pleasure to listen, and learn their secrets of success in the business world. The welcome address was given by Dr. John R. Hawkins, president of the Prudential Bank, and financial secretary of the great A. M. E. Church. It was a hearty welcome to us and we enjoyed listening to this great financier of our race, and many good points were given us to help us through life. Vice Commander Billups had not rated him too highly. The solo rendered by neighbor W. R. Cochran of New Jersey was also well received. Dr. Emmet J. Scott secretary and treasurer of Howard University was to have welcomed us on behalf of the city, but on account of the serious illness of a member of his family, sent his regrets, but did favor us with a splendid talk later in the week. Also Dr. C. L. Jackson of the Board of Health of Howard University. The response to the welcome address was given by Dean J. W. Haywood, Supreme Prelate, and being a very witty, as well as a brilliant orator he kept the audience from becoming too serious. His talk was very spicy. After the out of town visitors had been introduced and announcements made for the week the benediction was pronounced by Major Chaplain O. J. W. Scott, (retired) U. S. A, now an instructor in the School of Religion at Howard University. This closed our first evening Tuesday A.M. at nine o'clock our real work began. Our faithful District Commander A. L. Poole of Chicago, and all other officers were in their places excepting the recorder, Neighbor Ethel Jones acted in her stead until the election of officers for the ensuing year. All business was quickly transacted, various committees reports heard, all in that businesslike way which is a part of Commander Poole. He then thanked all who had helped in any way to make his two years as District Commander a success. He gave his annual address in the spirit of love and good will to all pledging himself to work with the new District Commander yet to be elected. We of course regret his going out but others are always waiting. So each man must step up higher to make room, so we know there is another position awaiting for our past District Commander and he will fill it with the same credit. At the close of his address we went into the election of officers for the present year. It was very peacefully and harmoniously done. Our officers are as follows: District Commander Neighbor E. R. Sams of Pittsburgh, Pa.; Vice Commander, Jesse Nimmons of Ohio; Irene Crook of Chicago, Clerk; Bush of Detroit, Mich., Recorder; Augustus Mariana, Maryland, Banker; Neighbor Dean, Washington, D. C., Escort; Neighbor Bush of St. Louis, Auditor; Neighbor Nealy of New Jersey, Prelate; Neighbor Sullivan, West Virginia, Watchman; Neighbor Sidney Montgomery, Chicago, Sentry; Neighbor Mary Pope, Reporter; Mary Bush of Detroit, Organist, and Neighbor Peterson, Chairman of Sick Committee. These were then installed by the Supreme auditor, who never lacks for words for these occasions that mean so much to the workers. He is also known as the "Prince Charming," because he knows so well how to please everybody. A very interesting session was then entered into and the discussions gave us much to bring back to our camps that will be helpful in building up our work. Tuesday afternoon many of us went sightseeing, many of the historical points were visited. Among other things we went into the Washington Monument, which is five hundred and fifty-five feet high. We rode in the large elevator which holds twenty-six people at one time. A few of us decided to walk down so that we might read the various inscriptions on each landing. We were twenty-five minutes and were very tired when we made our last step, but it was interesting. That evening we had the twilight parade and carnival followed by dancing at Murray's beautiful Casino. The costumes worn by some made you laugh until you cried they were so very comical. Deputy Dyer of Chicago had more fun than any one I am quite sure, for his costume was that of an Indian girl and his long hair attracted the boys and kept the fun going at the hall. Wednesday morning found us back at our post, as we had been promised a treat at ten o'clock if we would get our discussions out of the way. And that would be to hear our own Supreme Clerk. L. H. Lightner, (the little Jew) of the American Woodmen, tell us of his trip last year through the old world. It was wonderful to hear and how very proud we felt of him, to think that the Y. M. C. A. should have used such splendid judgment in selecting him to be one of that delegation. A man of his wonder- ful ability who has been the back bone of this great organization for twenty-five years. Indeed we considered it the highest honor that has been given to any one of our organization and that he filled the place to their satisfaction goes without our saying it. For two hours we listened to his travels and what a good time he had and how royally they were entertained in all of those foreign countries, stopping at the very best hotels, receiving every courtesy accorded the other Y. M. C. A. men. He needed the rest and we hope he gets another vacation for he is ever on the job watching the income and the outgo of these funds. At one o'clock our Supreme Vice Commander announced the annual picture of the delegates would be made and like children no matter how badly we look we are anxious to see ourselves. That was over so we were excused from further work for the day but everyone must attend the Pageant of Progress by the Juvenile Department that night. A reception was held at five o'clock the same evening at the Dunbar High School for the delegates by the Green Cross Nurses Corp. of Washington, D.C. It was very enjoyable and most of the delegates were on hand to partake of the cooling ices. The program of the children, under the direction of the National Worthy Guardian Mrs. M. I. Smith of Philadelphia and the Worthy Guardians of the various states, Chicago being represented by Worthy Guardians, Sylvester King, Nora E. Lee, and N. Branch, was a wonderful success. Their singing was excellent, the one hundred voices of the little folks blended as one though many had never seen each other before as there were delegates of the Juvenile Department as well. From the Chicago tents were three, Little Dolores Crook, Audrey Lee and Master Emmet Jones. These little folks had as fine a trip as the grown ups with just about as much work for they had to attend the rehearsals with the Washington children all the week so they would not spoil the play. The Worthy Guardians of Washington deserve great credit for the many children they had ready for the National Worthy Guardian to put the finishing touches on. Mr. Blue of St. Louis, Musical Director, works harmoniously with Mrs. Smith each year and Mrs. A. T. Washington was the accompanist of Washington, D.C. Too much credit cannot be given the workers in this department, for the children of today will be the American Woodmen of tomorrow. So unless they are properly trained and instructed in Woodcraft today there will be no tomorrow. Our children's work was also on display. Some very beautiful work. The tag day netted about three hundred dollars and New Jersey was crowned as the Queen or Miss American Woodman, having reported the largest amount of money. The solo by Miss Beatrice Suydam of Washington, D.C., was a very rare treat as she has an excellent voice and all were thrilled. She is charming in her manner. --- Thursday morning we discussed a very important subject and our Supreme Clerk led the subject giving us the important things to bring to our officers' council meeting. The discussion ended after many deputies and commanders had given their views which were very instructive. Supervisor N. Williams of Chicago brought out some very helpful things, which will be used in our city to help build up Woodcraft. We were then favored with two selections by our grand opera soloist who has just returned from Italy, Madame Avante. We were completely carried away with her wonderful voice and charming manner and feel that we had been enjoying 'a perfect feast of good things while in this city. So too much praise cannot be given to Supreme Vice Commander Billups and Supreme Escort Washington for all they had done for our pleasure and comfort while in their city. Thursday noon was the civic and business parade. Our uniform rank department, nurses corps, floats, and bands were a very pretty sight and created quite a bit of enthusiasm as everybody loves to see well drilled soldiers march. Thursday night was the full dress ball. Friday was Juvenile Day and Neighbor M. I. Smith, National Worthy Guardian, and all Worthy Guardians, about fifty in number, discussed the subjects before them as if they had given them much thought. All felt that more was gained that morning than at any other session. Mrs. Smith knows her subject and handles it. We received a telegram from our Supreme Commander Dr. E. W. D. Abner, who was taking a much needed rest in the Rocky Mountains. We missed him very much but were very glad that he was well.

Friday night was the competitive drills for the cash prizes. Our Evanson team as usual brought back their share of the spoils. Every one should help to build up the uniform rank department as that helps build up the organization. The encampment is one of the prettiest parts of our conventions. They do the real hard work. Too much praise cannot be given to those faithful soldiers and nurses out in the encampment grounds. Major General Morgan was at his best and the subjects were discussed in a very decided and soldierly manner. More men and women are needed to make a larger uniform rank department. He stated very clearly the objects and purposes of this department and we must build it along with the rest of our great organization. Saturday morning was the greatest day of the week as all committees made their reports and recommendations, and the naming of the next meeting place was decided upon. It Mortell 1930 Mortell HON.

Money in Jack Rabbits An interesting development in the control of jack rabbits, which are a serious pest in Idaho and several other Western states, has been the establishment of a market for black-tailed jack rabbit skins. Through the efforts of an employee of the United States biological survey two fur companies are maintaining offices in southern Idaho and are paying from 40 to 50 cents a pound for thoroughly dried and properly stretched skins. This means six to seven cents apiece, as it takes six or seven skins to make a pound, says the Pathfinder Magazine. Men in Idaho are putting out poison and collecting and skinning 250 rabbits a day on the average, not only to help to keep down the numbers of the pest, but to gain a good income for the time spent.

Experts have confirmed recent borings which failed to discover new coal below the present deepest stratum, and, dug out at the normal rate of 700,000 tons a year, the mine is calculated to exhaust itself in 25 years. The Kerkrade coal mine is the oldest in Europe, dating from 115a. It is state property, but in 1846 it was leased to the Maestricht-Aix la Chapelle Railway company for a period of 90 years. The company pays a percentage of the value of its workings to the government. The total production of the Dutch mines in 1926 amounted to 8,300,000 tones—Chicago Daily News.

By Chas. Stewart, Jr. Out of a dream realization came through the courtesy of an old school chum I was given the opportunity to accept an invitation for a drive to East St. Louis, Illinois, with Miss Anna Boykin and her brother, I was the house guest at her home. In visiting points of interest in the city I took note of the fact that the young and the old used special effort to point to the Lincoln High School of which Prof. Haynes is the principal. The story of this school came out of the mind of an uneducated man who for years, like Banquo's ghost, appeared at the door of the school board demanding better education for the children of the time. The citizens of East St. Louis have arranged to build a monument to the memory of Captain John Robinson. The general development of the people of this metropolis of St. Clair county and the many business opportunities which have been given were grasped and the men in the various avenues are making a success. In talking over the conditions of business I chanced to confer with Mr. F. A. Adams, district superintendent of the Liberty Life Insurance Company, who is better able by his contact to point out the successful avenues of the entries, by being across from the big town on the muddy Mississippi. We motored over and the general cry upon entering the other side of the bridge is the spirit of a "Flying Fool" Lindbergh. If the same spirit continues the awakening will be to our group much more than would be expected in the same course of time. Being a knight of the quill I chose to make my first visit to the office of the St. Louis Argus and upon presenting my card as a representative of the Broad Ax and further announcing that I was the son of the late Rev. Chas. Stewart who was known in every household in that section, Editor Mitchell took a more than ordinary pleasure in explaining to me in detail the various departments of his institution. He has 21 employees and a modern office in every character. To my surprise he reached in a pile on his desk of the papers he was scanning and he found there the Broad Ax. It gave me as a young writer two lines for inspiration, first that the editor was a personal friend of my father whose shoes in the line of the quill I am en-deavoring to fill and second that he could tell of each week's writings in the Broad Ax, and especially urged that I continue to pursue a journalistic course. Spending the remainder of the afternoon busily investigating various points, in the evening I accepted an invitation to visit the First Baptist church, of which the Rev. O. C. Maxwell in pastor. I found them engaged in celebrating their centennial anniversary. Rev. Maxwell has a broad vision of religious ideas. He seeks to become a part of the general regardless of denominational ideas. Out of his broadness men and women of every denomination go to listen and drink in food for the foundation of the spirit of the new week which comes. They were closing the summer school of the Bible class in which 180 were given certificates from said school. Unfortunately, one of the ivories in my upper row began to rumble like thunder and I dropped into the office of Dr. Terry M. Hart for its extraction, and when he learned that I was the son of a man who had long been his personal friend he charged the service to the good will of the past and said that he wished he could do more. I met John A. Davis, counsellor and attorney at law, who has an office in the Peoples Finance Building in Jefferson avenue. He is a member of the Missouri legislature and is said to have made a creditable representative. Visitors to St. Louis who seek the acquaintance of St. Louis' real beauties will do well to find Mr. Ishmael Thames for he carries more telephone numbers in his little book than any other one person in the city except the telephone directory. He is a social historian and when you drop into the old city of "show me" telephone to Thames—Jefferson 2043. At this point I want to thank the young ladies of St. Louis and East St. Louis for their cordial hospitality and some time soon I expect to show my appreciation by making a return visit. The Business League was gathering for its annual pow wow to talk of the figures in the profit and loss column the mortgages due and payable and the most interesting thing discussed by some of them was trying to invent a new method of collecting bad debts It is said that Dr. R. R. Moton, in his travels in the old world, had made a study of commercial life in foreign lands and he hoped when the lesson had been given it would be profitable in every line. The awaiting feature of the convention was the address to be given by Mr. Anthony Overton, the president of the Douglass National Bank, the only national bank in the Union. I felt proud in having come from Chicago and hearing the boys and girls on the streets talking of making arrangements to be present to look upon the man who writes his name upon money before it can become a legal tender. He is a man of many parts and stands at the head of the Overton Hygienic Company, the Victory Life Insurance company, the only Negro life insurance company admitted to do business in New York. There were men from various other sections there and it looked as if the session would be a profitable one. St. Lawrence Ave. has a new spirit since the stork stopped at the bungalow at 6633.

A PINK slip fluttered from the envelope that Maisy Fern had opened—an abrupt announcement from the local bank that she had overdrawn her account to the extent of six dollars and three cents. Maisy sighed. In a way she had been prepared for it. Pansy, her old colored cook-housekeeper, had brought it into her little studio after the postman had come yesterday afternoon. She was too absorbed in her painting at the time to bother about it then. So she went on patiently putting in the finishing touches on the lovely rose garden that was later to serve as the cover for a nursery-man's catalogue. After breakfast the next morning she opened this envelope from the bank. It was at least a comfort to know that the overdraught was no larger. She found ten dollars in her purse—ten dollars and a few silver pieces. Well, she could buy enough food for the day with the change and the ten dollars would cover the amount due. It would be embarrassing to go down to the bank with just ten dollars, and there was no way of getting any more until she had been to the city. Malys sat and considered ways and means. She hated to face the receiving teller—and it would probably be her luck to find the souffréd Mr. Granger at the window, but it would be worse facing Mr. Berton, the very nice-looking young cashier, whose genial smile Malys felt sure would have brought him fame and fortune in the "movies." Of course he doubtless knew of her mistake. They had probably discussed her at the bank—said things about her. They didn't know that Malys clung strictly to her self-imposed rule of saving three-quarters of all the money she earned. That amount she deposited with a trust company in the city, where the money was invested in the safest sort of security. Malys was a curious medley of improvidence and caution. From her mother she inherited this fixed intention of providing lavishly for the rainy day and from her father a reckless thriftless that made it apparently impossible for her to live comfortably within her self-determined allowance—and even more impossible to keep any sort of accounts. She didn't even try to keep any sort of accurate record of her bank account. Malsy arrived on the stroke of nine and bravely made out her little deposit slip and approached the window of the receiving teller with fast-bearing heart. It beat a little faster when she saw that Mr. Berton was on duty, "I hardly had courage to come down this morning," she said a little shyly, handing in her small deposit with her book. "But I just haven't been able to keep track of my account—I know it is stupid." Mr. Berton looked up with an amused smile. "Oh, so you got a pink invitation, too," he said. "I didn't even know it." "No harm done, anyway," said Mr. Berton, mechanically recording her deposit in her book. "Perhaps I'd better have your account balanced for you." "Thank you so much," said Malsy. "T'll try hard to keep it straight after this. I'm so stupid—" "On the contrary," said Berton, "from all I hear you are quite the opposite." Then he looked about to see that no one was within hearing. "But if you have any difficulty in keeping your accounts, perhaps I could show you. It is very simple. Perhaps I could call some time and show you—and help you balance up from time to time. Plenty of clever people have the same trouble." "How very good of you," sighed Malys. "I am going to the city for the afternoon but I'll be home tonight." So Mr. Berton called and gave Malsy a beginner's lesson in account keeping—he stayed to look at her drawings, and after that stayed a little later because Malsy said she was lonely and wanted some one to talk to. After that he called twice a week and Malsy sat beside him as he attended to her accounts and told him that as long as he was willing to do it for her she wouldn't try to learn. Then one day Berton made a suggestion—not without a little embarrassment. He told Malsy that he wondered why she didn't try to save a little. There were lots of ways that she could economize and—if she had set her heart on remaining unmarried all her life—she ought to think about saving for a rainy day. Malsy told him she hadn't set her heart on remaining unmarried all her life—then she looked up at him timidly—and Berton looked back at her—laughed a little and then took her into his arms and said, "Just a little," when Malsy asked him if he loved her, Afterward when Berton was about to leave Malsy said that as long as she didn't intend to remain single all her life she supposed it wouldn't be necessary to start saving. "I'll do the saving for the two," said Berton. "I guess it runs in our family. I've always saved half my salary and I've a fairly decent inheritance besides." Malsy tossed her pretty head with an air of mock superiority. "Runs in my family, too," she said. "I've always saved three-quarters of what I earned. But I'm glad I knew you didn't know it. I might have thought you loved my rainy-day fund better than you did me."

Goes Back to Old Rome Vitruvius was an architect of Rome, engaged in the practice of his profession a few years before the beginning of the Christian era. He published the book which bears his name about B. C. 25. Vitruvius mentions that floors of oak were nailed with iron nails. Oak floors today are nailed with steel cut or wire cut nails—through the side tongue—known as blind nailing.

A New Venture in Solving the Ne gro Problem. 2. The Boomerang. 3. Can Black Turn Red? 4. Fordology—What Is It? 5. Does Liberia Lack “Statesman ship”? A New Venture in Solving the Negro Problem In an article, "The Golden Rule in Race Relations," which appeared in the Literary Digest for July 23, 1927, we are told "that the obstacles inherent in the race problem, and once believed to be unsurmountable, are vanishing under co-operative effort; and if there are places where injustice is practiced by the white man against his black brother, there are other places where the two live in peace." Who is not well acquainted with those "places where injustice is practiced by the white man against his black brother"? For do not these whole United States ring with such injustices, from the Canadian border to the Gulf of Mexico, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific shores? Though most prevalent in the South, this psychosis of Negromania is gradually infecting this republic in its entirety. Now what of those places where the two races "live in peace"? Are we not most anxious to learn of them? For like angel's visits, they are indeed few and far between. Madison county, Tenn., is cited as a good example of what is being accomplished under the auspices of this cooperative movement. At Jackson, the county seat, the State Conference of Social Work has decided that no program of community betterment is not complete that does not include the whole population; white and black. Hence, in matters of housing, sanitation, street improvement and lighting, recreation, child welfare, education and court justice, the needs of the entire population, regardless of race, are considered. What is offered to one group is also given to the other. Surely this is a most unusual circumstance, especially in the South. Through the co-operation of the two races in marketing, the plan has been improved, resulting in greater profits; and banks have co-operated in aiding colored farmers to improve the soil and crop raising. The success of these co-operative activities has been chiefly due to the inter-racial committees, who co-operate for the good of all, and according to their reports "No crimes have been committed in this county in years which would involve both races." In the courts of justice, there are no reports of cases of injustice, and no discrimination has been practiced by the courts because of race or color. The colored people have a representative at the bar, who says he receives absolute fairness, and justice is not withheld from him on account of color. In this state, race co-operation, as a "venture," has proved a success. Perhaps in the millennium there will be more of these Negro Utopias. The Boomerang As the dog which often turns and bites the hand that feeds it, so the southern white man who has nurtured and harbored mob rule and violence, finds himself today the victim of his own heinous devices. When those who were maltreated were Negroes, it was well enough, but when being a Nordic no longer spared the victim, the South has become aroused against the recent midnight floggings, and in the words of Governor Graves, declares, "Flogging in Alabama must cease." A Georgia newspaper boldly admits "that 'lash parties' in southern states have become so prevalent as to become a national scandal," and "the decency of the whole nation is shocked." It is indeed very strange that the graveness of a situation never dawns upon the Nordic as long as he and his own are not threatened, but as soon as violence imperils members of his own group it then "only breeds anarchy, and has no place in a civilized country," according to their papers. As long as the southern lash descended only upon black shoulders, little or no protestation was voiced by the press, but now "Masked violence is a denial of democracy; a denial of love; a denial of faith; a denial of God," according to the Birmingham Age Herald. The victims are not only just Negroes. After this long period of lawlessness through the South, there seems to be a general awakening to the fact that such conduct must stop. "If it takes the militia of every inflicted and infested state to stop it." Never before has it been discovered by the southern courts that "the rule of might and of the strongest is the very reverse of our civilization and our society," as Judge Sutton recently expressed it. And so, like the boomerang, that returns from midair to the hand of the wielder, mob violence, lawlessness and brutality have returned to torture their creators and tolerators. What is to be the outcome of this general upheaval of opinions against these southern atrocities is as yet rather indefinite, but it is up to the south to show the whole world that there are still enough "southern gentlemen" left to purge and purify that element that "is criminally and cowardly wicked." The Negro cannot fail to be benefited by any reform that is made. Can Black Turn Red? "Soviet alchemists are possessed with the idea that they can transmit American Negroes into revolutionary 'Reds,'" according to a story unearthed in New York, Washington and Chicago, says the Literary Digest of July 30. This transmutation is to be brought about by training groups of Negroes in communism at Moscow. These groups, whose expenses are paid, are to 'return to the United States after three years of study, and revolutionize the colored people; making 'Reds' of them. It has been reported that the first group went over in 1925, and since then "50 to 100 have gone over to learn the Lord gospel." Those who entertain any apprehension over the seriousness of this outlook may find consolation in the opinion expressed by the Memphis Commercial Appeal, that "Colored people may possibly be inveigled by Russia into a secret organization, but there are educated Negro leaders who know the evils of the Russian system and it will be their duty to guard their people against any error." While there may be no immediate danger of black America turning "Reds", the evils of our own American system, which harbors prejudice, fosters discrimination and disfranchises certain citizens, would serve as sufficient reason; but the Herald Tribune says, "the Negro Communist terror qualifies as a false alarm." Why does the Nordic abuse the faith he seems to have in the Negro? Ford-ology—What Is It? There has been much comment; both favorable and unfavorable, concerning the recent recant and apology of Henry Ford to the American Jews, for the slanderous articles published in the past weeks in his paper, the Dearborn Independent, about this worthy group of American citizens. Ford's plea of ignorance of the offense may be true or untrue, who can say with convictions? But it takes a real man who, when he finds out that his procedure is wrong, to be able to apologize and recant. Would that the whole American nation could follow Ford's example and apologize to the ten millions of Negroes whom they daily insult through slander and other atrocious mediums. Our entire group is maligned with the errors and faults of a few. Although Henry Ford may be a pioneer in this new field of adventure (that of acknowledging an error) there are many others who might well follow in his footprints. The American Nordic has much to ask for forgiveness for, of his black brother, and instead of ridiculing their brother, for what he has already done, well might they do likewise. Does Liberia Lack "Statesmanship"? Does Liberia Lack Statesmanship? According to the Kansas City Star, the recent payment of the Liberian debt to the United States "indicates that statesmanship in Liberia is at a very low ebb." In other words, it was very undiplomatic for this small independence to promptly pay up an honest debt, without "even asking for a discount," says the Dallas News. The Kansas City Star further explains "The Powers first took favorable notice of Liberia when it got a loan from the United States. The Powers said to each other at that time that Liberia showed distinct promise and should be encouraged. True, it got only a small loan, but by firmly declining to pay it back, and otherwise cultivating its credit, it seemed to the Powers that Liberia might go far. But now it has spoiled its chance. It has paid its debt, and must henceforth be regarded with scorn. As a country it may have improved its credit, but what does that amount to, THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, AUGUST 13, 1927 when its "statesmanship" has no credit at all? The criticisms of the western and the northern papers are fortunately very adverse to that of the Kansas City Star. We are grateful to know that there are still many people who appreciate honesty and believe in the golden rule. The Cincinnati Enquirer says, "She (Liberia) has set an example that larger nations might well emulate" and the Baltimore Evening Sun adds, "Under the circumstances, special honor should be given to Liberia by all American taxpayers." The San Francisco Chronicle thinks "When the population and poverty of Liberia are considered, and we recall the amazing historical background of that little independency, we can realize that it was not an easy matter for Liberia to discharge this debt." While England, France and Italy may frown down on the "Honesty is the best policy" of their little black sister country, surely Liberia has done nothing to merit their scorn and criticism of lack of "statesmanship." Remember, Liberia, when the crowd is against you, you are generally in the right.

Meaning of "Alaska" The territory ceded by Russia in 1867 had been known up to that time as Russian America. It was called Alaska by William H.

Tree's Distinct Value Longleaf pine is a particularly valuable tree for farm woodlands in many parts of the South because of its capacity to grow in the poorest and deepest sandy types of land.

Bond and Investment Company, is now under construction at the northwest corner of 35th and South State Streets. The new building which is the last word in European design, will contain 21 stores, 48 offices and the new trust department of the Binga State Bank, which adjoins the new structure. The first and second floors will be devoted entirely to modern, up-to-date shops. The third and fourth floor will contain offices, with private reception rooms and lockers. The fifth floor will be arranged into a large auditorium with a seating capacity of 700, and will be used for community affairs. A modern kitchen, check room and lounge room will also be found on this floor. The new arcade, which is the work of Joseph Scheitler, designer, bank interior specialist and engineer, calls for completion in May, 1928. Oscar DePriest of the real estate firm of DePriest and DePriest will be manager and agent. The structure is another long stride in the rehabilitation of South State Street. It indicates that the builders have confidence in the business future of State Street and shows that the old antagonisms of race and religion have been forgotten.

AKRON CAUTIONS AGAINST INFLUX The National Urban league, through its department of industrial relations, has just released the following statement with reference to what appears to be a sudden, unwarranted migration to Akron: "Negroes throughout the country from practically all of the Southern and Middle Western states and from as far west as Los Angeles are coming to Akron looking for work. Some of them are coming upon the invitation of relatives and friends who have lived in Akron; some have heard, through various sources, that the city is short of workers. Akron's industries are reported on a firm foundation, Wil and are working a full-time schedule, but it is feared that if the intake of new workers does not cease, Akron will be unable to take care of the numbers who are finding their way to the city. "George W. Thompson, executive secretary of the Association for Colored Community Work, has conferred with the Better Akron Federation, the Local Community Chest and other public and private agencies, and advises that persons planning to come to Akron expecting to find work immediately should delay their coming until those who are already there are properly integrated within the social and industrial life of the community. "Akron has been fortunate in not having unwieldly unemployment or business depression periods, because the prosperous automobile industry has kept the rubber manufacturing plants busy. This probably accounts for the opinion, thought generally to be true, that work is always plentiful there. "The Urban league is making known the fact that such is not the case and advises that persons who contemplate going to Akron for work should obtain it before reaching the city or be prepared to maintain themselves for several weeks and perhaps longer, while seeking employment."

There will be many other big features, including a series of physical and color drills by Chicago policemen. Two police bands and Chicago's famous police octette will furnish the musical portion of the program. The entire proceeds from the meet will be devoted to the support of the families of policemen slain in the line of duty. The performance starts each day promptly at 1:30 p. m., rain or shine.

Cadet Prayer Called The following prayer used by endets at West Point military academy, the Pathfinder Magazine thinks, might well be practiced by American manhood as a whole: "O God, our Father, Thou Searcher of men's hearts, help us to draw near to Thee in sincerity and truth. May our religion be filled with gladness and may our worship of Thee be natural. Strengthen and increase our admiration for honest dealing and clean thinking, and suffer not our hatred of hypocrisy and pretense ever to dulmish. Encourage us in our endeavor to live above the common level of life. Make us choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong, and never to be content with a half truth when the whole can be won. Endow us with courage that is born of loyalty to all that is noble and worthy, that scorns to compromise with vice and infidence, and knows no fear when truth and right are in jeopardy. Guard us against flippancy and irreverence in the sacred things of life. Grant us new ties of friendship and new opportunities of service. Kindle our hearts with sympathy for those who sorrow and suffer. May we find genuine pleasure in clean and wholesome mirth and feel inherent disgust for all coarse-minded humor. Help us, in our work and our play, to keep ourselves physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight, that we may the better maintain the honor of the corps untarnished and unsullied, and acquit ourselves like men in our effort to realize the ideals of West Point, in doing our duty to Thee and to our country. All of which we ask in the name of the Great Friend and Master of men. Amen." Skyscrapers Are Few The modern "set-back" skyscrapers of New York are really very ancient in their architecture, according to John Roosval, distinguished Swedish art critic, who contributes an article on them to the Forum Magazine, Babylonian architecture was also terraced, says Mr. Roosval, and so were many of the piles reared by the ancient Aztec and Mayan builders of Central America. But though he does not regard the "new" skyscrapers as being really very new, Mr. Roosval likes them much better than the earlier American style in skyscrapers. "The older skyscrapers," he writes in his Forum article, "those in New York, in lower Manhattan, stand like wild elephants let loose among downtrodden sheep."
