CHICAGO,ILL.,SATURDAY,JANUARY 17,1914. HIGH RENTS. During the year the colored people of Chicago have spent thousands and thousands of dollars in exorbitant rentals. It is to be wondered if many of these have figured how much money they have paid to landlords. Possibly the rents paid by some during the last few years have paid in full for the LANDLORD'S property, and this same rent money could have just as well bought a home for the RENT PAYER. When the landlord dies, he leaves his property to his family, and not to his tenant. If the tenant dies, the landlord puts his family out first time he falls to pay his rent. So to be on the safe side it is better to pay rent to yourself and not be a slave to the landlord. One of the most prominent real estate firms in this city has a plan whereby you can become your own landlord, so you can be good to yourself and to your own family.

GREAT CROWDS NIGKTLY Winner to Challenge the Champion of the World. Mr. George W. Holt's Brunswick Hotel and Billiard Parlors. 3004 South State street, have been crowded this week to watch the billiard handicap tournament. Up to Wednesday night of this week only seven men have played and it will take fully two weeks for the nine men to play each other. Those in the contest are S. Shorter, G. Holt, H. Jones, H. Slaughter, W. Coleman, J. Nixon, W. Keth, A. Smith and "Bill" Adams. A price of $500 will be awarded to the winner and may one-half may go to The Defender? Up to Wednesday night H. Jones won 3 games, A. Smith 2 games and Adams 2 games. Many seem to think that "Bill" Adams is a close favorite, being a Kentuckian, will be the Derby winner. Odds, however, are being placed on Mr. George W. Holt, who is said to have a steady nerve and a keen eye. A. Smith created quite a sensation the first of the week, when he ran 10 points. He went up 50 per cent in the estimation of the best billiard players. TUSKEGEE FARMERS' CONFERENCE To Be Held at Tuskegee Institute January 21 and 22.

Ellis, whose biography appears in "Who's Who of America," has been invited to speak at the Englewood Lyceum on the subject of "Liberia and West African Culture." THE UNITED CHARITIES MAKES APPEAL The demand this year is unusual and beyond any experience the society has ever had. The increase is from 28 to 400 per cent in various departments of our work. This requires an increase in relief disbursements. We have not increased the number of our employees, but we have been working them almost to the breaking point in order to meet the situation. There has been an increase in contributions within the last six weeks, for which we are thankful, but at least $148,000 additional is needed if we are to meet the situation in full. Although the weather has not been severe it is well known that there are more people out of employment than for years past. Illness, intemperance, discouragement and family desertions are its aftermath. The Health Department bulletins already show there is more sickness than for a number of years. We know that most of this is in the homes of the poor. A large portion of the unemployed are small wage earners and married men with families. Thousands of touching appeals covering pathetic human tragedies are coming to us! Shall we let them go unanswered? If you who are employed and comfortable do not feel our full work should be carried on, we shall have to curtail it. We ask an immediate response from every citizen able to give assistance. Total direct assistance to the poor, $221,807.72; percentage of total expense, 74.6%. This includes: Material relief (food, fuel, rent, medicine, clothing, etc.), $123,805.35; relief service (this may be likened to visiting nurses' work; it means education and training, securing jobs for unemployed, medical and hospital care for the sick, carrying out plans that result in re-establishing families), $94,458.70; visitors' carfare, $2,43.67. Cost of providing relief centers and general offices, $42,706.12—14.4%. Supervisory salaries, $32,145.63—10.8%. Refunds, $474.03—0.2%. Total amount of 1912-13 disbursements, $297,133.50—100%. Proportion of persons befriended in 1912-13 to general population—1 in 3. Proportion of persons contributing in 1912-13 to the general population—1 in 312. Increased Demands for Assistance Are Shown by Following Comparisons. Families not known before helped through nine district offices—December, 1912, 779 families (whole month); December, 1913, 1410 families (15 days only). Applications to the Department for Homeless Men—December, 1912, 113 men (whole month); December, 1913, 550 men (15 days only). 1914 Budget of the United Charities of Chicago. Increased demands for aid require an increase in the budget. Our estimate of $148,000 needed in new and increased subscriptions is based on the following: Income from endowment, etc. $ 22,000 Estimated receipts from regular subscribers ..... 100,000 Received or pledged in present campaign ..... 80,000 Special funds ..... 30,000 CHICAGO TRUE ,REFORMERS. The True Reformers of Chicago are still busy. M. T. Bailey, the Chief of Chicago Division, visited several suburbs during the week in the interest of the order. Among them he visited Lake Forest, Evanston and Morgan Park. At Morgan Park he delivered an address at the opening of a hall which has been erected on East 111th street by Mrs. Frances Pace. Mrs. Pace is one of the original True Reformers in that village. While in Evanston he made some new members for North Shore Fl. 2617. He also attended the Rosebud meeting in Lake Forest and listened, to the final report of their fall festival, which was given for that Rosebud department. Mr. Floyd Ross, the Grand Worthy Master of the Grand Fountain, is expected to make an extensive trip to the West soon and will visit Chicago Division. Every effort is being put forth by the Chicago representatives of the True Reformers in the city to have the Grand Lodge meet here in September of 1915. State Deputy Bailey feels confident that with his delegation which will accompany him to the annual session in September, 1914, they will be able to land the next meeting in Illinois. News comes from Richmond to the Chicago office that the Grand Fountain U. O. T. R. is meeting with splendid success for the new year 1914. Rosebud 590 will hold its first meeting for the year on the fourth Saturday, which is the 24th, at which time they will be given a reception. Captain Williams, Lieutenants Quincy Martin and Dersie Shannon of Metropolis, Ill., visited the office this week. APPOMATTOX CLUB Holds Annual Installation of Officers—Wine and Dine at Banquet Table—New Club House Suggested at Meeting. The genial Louis B. Anderson, assistant county attorney, was toastmaster at the annual on last Saturday night at Appomattox Club, where the officers of the year were installed. The attendance was large and the club rooms and dining table were beautifully decorated for the occasion. President Frank Hamilton, who is on his second term, delivered a very able address, marking out a program to pursue for the year. Other officers were called upon to speak. The keynote speech of the evening was made by Mr. W. R. Cowan, formerly president of the club. He declared that new and larger quarters are needed for the growing organization and that in not many days to come he would be pleased to see a more commodious quarters over east, Mr. Swan was cheered loudly and at the close many came to him and told him he was right. Major John R. Lynch, Prof. Richard T. C. Cerner, Attorney Edward H. Wri , founder and first president; Prof. William Emanuel and Attorney B. Moseley were the other speakers. The chairman of, the house committee, Capt. J. S. Nelson, saw that every member was served with plenty and in style. It was declared to be one of the most enjoyable banquets in the history of the club. President Hamilton appointed several committees, which will aim to ameliorate racial conditions in the Windy City and the state of Illinois. GO-TO-CHURCH SUNDAY. The Go-to-Church Day is to be a great effort among our colored churches in Chicago. Our Pastors do not propose to permit any set of churchmen or Christians to do more for the building up of the interest of the kingdom of Christ than they. It was, indeed, an inspiration to see the intense interest manifested by the men of every denomination among us to give an emphasis upon church-going for this one-Sunday, Feb. 1.

Who Successfully Conducted the Marshall Testimonial at Odd Fellows' Hall Thursday Night—Contributed $500 for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. By Cary B. Lewis. Great crowds of the leading citizens of Chicago wended their way to Odd Fellows' hall on Thursday night to pay honor and tribute to the life of Col. John R. Marshall, the distinguished soldier, citizen, Mason, Pythian, and man of affairs. Friends and admirers packed the hall and long before the program started every seat in the hall was taken. It was one of the greatest meetings ever held in this city. Men and women vied with each other in showing their appreciation of the noble service of the colonel to the regiment and his assisting in organizing the old Ninth Battalion. Mr. Jesse Binga, the banker, presided at the meeting. It was through the unselfish motive of this gentleman and public citizen that caused the meeting to be held and the loving cup given. Col. Marshall never looked happier in his life. There he saw a loving cup upon which was inscribed: "Col. John R. Marshall, Eighth Illinois National Guard, 1902-1914. Testimonial presented January 15, 1914, by Colored Citizens of Chicago." Madame Brown never sang with as much freedom, such assurance, such bold attack and perfectly carrying tone. Having such a splendid vocal equipment at her command, she sang with feeling and tender sympathy. Little Jaunitia Emanuel sang Mr. Alfred Anderson's famous song, "If Forget." Both received rounds of applause. The addresses of each speaker were able, eloquent and praiseworthy. It was notable that in every adress there was not the slightest semblance of political or factional feeling. Every act and move of Col. Marshall career was touched upon. The R. Callis, who was born in the State Virginia, the home state of the ored guest, was the speaker of evening. Major John R. Lynch Jeniver, Julius Aavendorph, Cowan and A. H. Roberts addresses.

Mrs. John. Before the program was begun Prof. Garfield Wilson's orchestra played. They seemed to feel the spirit of the occasion and played with sweetness and harmony. Another feature on the program was the singing of "Oh Dry Those Tears" by Mme. Patti Brown, America's greatest soprano singer. ```markdown ``` By Cary B. Lewis. THE W GREA WEEKLY N.

Harsh acted as manager of interior. Rev. H. J. Callis said: "Col. John R. Marshall was born in Alexandria, Va., March 15, 1860, and received a common school education in that city. He was at Hampton School in the year 1874; served the bricklayer's trade in Washington, D. C., after which he came to Chicago, August 15, 1880, and has resided in Chicago for the last thirty-three years. "He was married at Alexandria, Va., to Lula D. Brauner December 21, 1880, and worked at his trade in Chicago the first 14 years after his arrival here. "In 1884 he was appointed deputy county clerk of Cook county, and remained in that office until war was declared against Spain, April, 1898, when he organized the Eighth Illinois U. S. Volunteer Regiment; was commissioned Colonel June 22, 1898, by Gov. John R. Taner; saw service during the Spanish-American war in Cuba for seven months and was mustered out of the volunteer service with his regiment April 3, 1899. ```markdown ``` "He was on the same day, April 3, 1899, appointed deputy sheriff of Cook county and served for four years and six months, when he resigned on account of the political change of the affairs of Cook county. "May 1, 1903, he was appointed district state game warden by the then Governor Hon. Richard Yates, and held that position for ten years, when he resigned. "He assisted in organizing the Ninth Battalion, I. N. G., in June, 1890, and was elected captain Co. 'A' November 4, 1894, and continued in that position until the Spanish-American war, when he organized the regiment. The Ninth Battalion, composed of four companies, formed the nucleus of the Eighth Regiment, Illinois U. S. V. Upon the muster out of the regiment in April, 1899, the battalion formation was again assumed with only four companies. He immediately upon the meeting of the first state legislature thereafter, had a bill drafted and introduced in both the Senate and House of Representatives raising the quota of the state troops eight companies so as to make a full regiment with the First Battalion as a nucleus. On account of the splendid record and valuable service rendered the country during the Spanish war, the bill passed both houses of the legislature without a dissenting vote. The bill was signed by Gov. Yates and became a state law July 1, 1901. He was then commissioned by the governor to organize eight more companies to fill up the regiment. He organized two companies at Chicago and one each in the following cities: Bloomington, Springfield, Danville, Quincy, Jacksonville and Metropolis. "The full regiment was then mustered in the Illinois National Guard June 24, 1902, and he again was unanimously elected its first colonel for the term of five years, and re-elected colonel of 1907 and 1912, each time receiving the unanimous vote of the officers. "In September, 1900, he, knowing the long felt want of his regiment, that of having an armory, began to look for a site with the idea of owning the land and believing if he could purchase a site for the armory he would then be able to induce the legislature to pass a bill making an appropriation to build it. He got an option on land which cost $7,500, paid the first $3,500 out of his own bank account, gave back a mortgage for the balance and started to raise the purchase money. In 15 months thereafter he raised the entire amount. $500 interest and taxes included, from public spirited citizens and by entertainments, and upon the assembling of the legislature in 1910 he went before that body, stated his appropriation, and with deeds showing that he had clear title induced Senator Samuel A. Ettleson of his district to introduce a bill in the Senate and Hon. Edward Green to introduce the same in the House for the purpose of building an armory for the Eighth Regiment. The bill received the unanimous vote of both the Senate and House of Representatives and is now a law upon the statute books of this state. "Plans have been drawn, the site consists of 313 feet on Forest avenue just south of 35th street, and the armory will be started this spring. When completed, it will cost $200,000 and will be as fine as any in the state." Presentation Speech By A. H. Rob arts Dear Colonel—Moved by the beautiful sentiments that have been expressed by the gentlemen who have preceded me, I have now the honor and the pleasure of presenting to you this beautiful cup, testifying, as words cannot do, the respect, esteem and love in which you are held by our many friends in Chicago. Should you, on account of the lapse of memory, forget the eloquent words that your ears have heard tonight, placing this token in your home, which we hope will ever be blessed with the comforts and cheer that you so richly deserve, our eyes seeing this beautiful gift I constantly remind you of our love keep fresh forever the memories you hold dear. Beautiful as is up, look not so much upon its as what it represents. Look it and into the heart of Mr. and the gentlemen associated who are responsible for this number that the hundreds of citizens here assembled to are but a small percent-people who feel as we. thousand Negroes of Il-sent in person tonight, spirit, expressing with their pride, and their you. Love is the , exquisite, mar-that exhales utility and charms only hint at love is what So, on be-friends in you, express- with health, strength and prosper v. Col. Marshall's Response. Col. John R. Marshall's response to the presentation speech: "Mr. Chairman and Friends: "No mere words that I am capable of uttering can possibly express the deep sense of heartfelt gratitude which by your token of love and friendship is evidenced tonight. I have lived with and among you for more than 33 years, and it has been my highest aim to so conduct myself that I would always merit the esteem which by your presence and gift you seem to hold for me. This occasion in part is due to the fact that I have recently separated myself from the organization which to me was as dear as any world's treasure, with the single exception of my beloved wife. "There is some impression abroad that my separation was the result of motives which could not bear the light of day. Of this I have nothing to say, and I would not under any circumstance say a word that in any way would tend in the slightest measure to interfere with the uninterrupted success and prosperity of the Eighth Infantry, I. N. G. My very wish and hope, and to this I here and now pledge myself, is for the attainment of the highest grade possible for the Eighth Regiment and every officer connected with it. "For your testimonial and presence tonight I thank you from the bottom of my heart, and my servant wish and hope is that I shall always live and act in such a way that you may never feel one single regret for having tonight expressed your confidence and esteem. Dear friends, you have seen fit to present me with this beautiful loving cup. I am proud of it and of you, and I thank you for the feelings which prompted you in giving it, and for the good judgment displayed in the selection. This beautiful cup, notwithstanding its magnificent proportions, is not large enough to contain my thanks and love for you, one and all, and every time that I shall gaze within its golden bowl it will bring back sweet memories of the occasion for which we are now gathered." DAYTON SOCIETY By A. W. Hubbard. (Special to The Chicago Defender.) Dayton, Ohio, Jan. 16—Mrs. H. S.

Gasoline, which splashed on her skirt from two quart jars of gasoline which she was carrying home from a nearby store Sunday morning, resulted in Mrs. Carl Price, aged 28, of 303 Dunbar avenue receiving burns which probably will cause her death. After reaching home with the gasoline Mrs. Price began to put coal into an open grate, and the gasoline on the skirt took fire and set fire to the woman's garments. Mrs. Price run from the house, her screams attracting attention of other occupants of the place, who run to her assistance. Before Mrs. Price could be reached and the fire extinguished the fire had burned through her clothing and she was suffering from terrible burns when friends reached St. Elizabeth Hospital with her. It was said early Monday morning that she was resting easily, but that there was little chance for her recovery. Will Have Barn Dance. A number of the young men belonging to the colored employees' club of the Rike-Kumler Company are arranging a barn dance, to be given on the evening of January 28 at the Elks' Club hall. Miss Arminda Johnson of West Fifth street is confined to her bed with a bad cold. The Neil Hotel dining room is doing a big business. Mr. Roberts has what it takes to make business.

He is being assisted by Rev. J. H. Holland of Loralin, Ohio. Rev. Holland is a powerful speaker and the people crowd to hear him every night. Christian workers and praying bands are requested to come and help in these meetings. The Sabbath school was well represented and the lessons were full of interest. The Englewood Lyceum met on Friday and listened to a carefully prepared address by the retiring president, Mr. D. W. Johnson. Mrs. Julius Bromfield is confined to her bed. Mr. and Mrs. W. N. Hill entertained their pastor and ex-pastor with their families at luncheon on Thursday. Mr. and Mrs. Wordsworth Holmes have moved into their new home on South Ada street. Prof. Pedro Tinsley directed the singing at the service in Hope Church on Sunday evening. BETHEL CHURCH Rev. T. A. Smythe, Pastor. Bethel Church is passing through a great revival wave. Dr. S. L. Howard, the evangelist, who is conducting the meetings, knows exactly what to say and what to do to bring sinners to repentance. His sermons last Sunday afternoon and evening were the most forceful presentation of the truth heard in Bethel Church in many a day. His illustrations, like the parables of the New Testament, appeal to the heart of his hearers with a vividness which makes understanding them an easy matter. During the two weeks of the meetings more than fifty persons have been brought to know Jesus as a personal Savior. This is probably the last Sunday the evangelist will spend with Bethel. The officers and members of the church are clated with Dr. Howard, and are glad that Dr. Smythe was able to secure his services. Last Sunday was quarterly meeting, and it will not be forgotten in a long time. Six hundred and fifty-three communed, and the collection for all purposes was nearly $275. Bethel Church is moving on. Hundreds of persons are turned away from the doors of the church every Sunday morning for lack of accommodation, which means that all will have to unite in an effort to enlarge our building. ST. JOHN A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES. BY FRANK C. LOWRY. Sunday morning service, 10:45 a. m.; Sunday school, 1:15 p. m.; Inter- mediate C. E, prayer meeting, 6 p. m.; Chicago "Good Church Day" is the next big thing to be celebrated in St. John. The pastor announced on last Sunday that the committee on arrangements would soon have on hand a supply of tags bearing the inscription "I am going to St. John Feb. 1." These are to be worn by the women as well as the men, and the members and interested friends are the ones to do the tagging. No one between Loomis boulevard and Halsted street will be able to say that they did not know about it, for St. John's members are going to keep things warm in this part of the city. Now remember the date is Feb. 1 and the church you are going to attend is St. John. THE INSTITUTIONAL CHURCH. 3825 South Dearborn Street. (U. S. D.) A week of great and good things has been arranged for the Chicago public at the Institutional Church beginning tomorrow evening at 8 o'clock and continuing until Friday evening. Tomorrow (Sunday) evening Miss Mary E. McDowell of the University Settlement will speak on "Human Welfare and City Government." Monday evening Mrs. Celia Parker Woolley will preside, Mrs. T. A. Smythe will sing and Miss Jane Addams and Prof. George H. Mead of Chicago University will speak. HYDE PARK A. M. E. CHURCH. Rev. W. H. Griffin, Pastor. Sunday services, 11 a. m. and 8:15 p. m. Sunday school, 3 p. m. Christian Endeavor, 7 p. m., Mrs. Fuller, president. All are invited. Rev. Griffin was called away very suddenly last Sunday and L. W. Washington, our young minister, preached morning and evening. His evening subject was "The Supreme Height, Depth, Length and Breadth of Christ." Under the leadership of Rev. Griffin this church has become a perfect piece of mechanism. The Logos Club listened to a very instructive address, far above the average as to the efficient demand for recognition, by Attorney A. L. Williams on "Damage Suits." Miss Franklin, the Logos soubret, sang. Miss Gladys Lee presided at the plano. Next Thursday Mr. Chas. A. Griffin, brother of our pastor, on "Insurance and Its Science." Admission free. All are welcome.—L. W. Washington, president. WALTERS A. M. E. ZION CHURCH. Corner 38th and Dearborn Streets. Rev. H. J. Gallis. Pastor Rev. H. J. Cain, Pastor. Our special revival services are continuing to meet with great success. Rev. S. S. Sclsson, who is assisting us in this effort, has been preaching stirring gospel sermons and his discourses have been meeting with great favor. During our meetings several persons have been converted and reclaimed to the faith. Some few have seen fit to cast their lots in with us and have connected themselves with our church. The attendance and interest has kept up in our evening services continually. Our evening services are beginning at eight o'clock and are preceded by a half hour's service of prayer and praise. The services for Sunday will be as usual and it is hoped that every member of the church will make a special effort and sacrifice to attend the meetings and bring some one else with them. After two weeks of special religious services in which our attention has been turned wholly to things spiritual we should have such meetings Sunday as should long be remembered for the inspiration and encouragement of believers and for the salvation of the unsaved. DEARBORN ST. S. D. A. CHURCH. On last Sunday evening a goodly number assembled at the Dearborn Street S. D. D. A. Church to listen to the first of a series of lectures to be given by the pastor, Elder W. D. Forde. Realizing that infidelity and scepticism are fastening their poisonous talons on many of the present generation, the pastor believes that the hour has struck when a clear, forceful presentation of Bible truth should be set forth. The subject presented last Sunday evening was "The Personality of God." The speaker proved most convincingly and satisfactorily by means of reason, science and revelation that Jehovah is not a mere "sleepless, active energy," as was quoted from Dr. Ellot in the Sunday Tribune of Jan. 4, but an intelligent personality, controlling and superintending the universe. An excellent program of subjects that are of vital importance have been arranged for this winter. No one interested in his eternal welfare should miss one of these lectures. A cordial invitation is given to all. The pre-existence and incarnation of Christ will be the subject on the evening of the coming Sunday, Jan. 18. THE SICK LIST. Mrs. Julia Stewart has been very ill for the past month at the Union Hospital, 29th street and Calumet avenue, but is now recovering. Dr. Carl Roberts of the North Side says friends may be admitted to see her after: Jan. 15 at her residence, 12132 Belle Plaine avenue, North Side. Mrs. Julia Stewart of 2132 Belle Plaine avenue, North Side, who has been very ill at the Union Hospital, is now recovering. Mrs. Elizabeth Sanders, 4069 Princeton avenue, has been confined to her bed for the past month. Mrs. Ida McIntosh Dempey of 3716 Dearborn street, who has been very ill since Jan. 2nd, is now able to be about the house. She is very grateful for the ministrations of Fidelity Court No. 22, H. of J., of which she is Secretary. Egg candlers demand high wages. Always said it would soon cost more even to look at an egg→ New York Evening Telegram. I would advise papering the room with a self-tieed paper, light tan in color as near to the tint of sunshine as you can get. Your shades should, of course, match those in use all over the house. Then make your drapery curtains of tan art scrimm, just a deep hemstitched hem at the bottom, and allow them to hang straight. Stain the woodwork white and give it several coats, finishing off with an enamel or egg-shell finish. For the center of the room have an "art "square" made. This may be woven on the rag rugs are or crocheted or knitted. I prefer the woven rugs and beautiful solid effects with handmade borders now possible. Try to have the rose color predominate in rug and articles of furnishing for the bureau and chiffonier, pillows and couch cover. With white enamel furniture, the north room will be far from a cold, repellent room, and will be a transplanted sunshine corner—Exchange. To Break Up a Cold. 10 BREAK The hydropable treatment of a cold in the head is more reliable than any other one which scarcely requires the aid of a physician. It is as follows: In the morning after rising and at night before retiring wash the feet and legs as high up as the knees in cold water, then rub them with a rough towel and massage them till the skin is red and glowing. In addition to this, snuff tepid water up the nose frequently during the day and slip with a teaspoon a glassful as hot as can be borne an hour before each meal and at bedtime. A few days is often quite sufficient for simple cases and obstinate ones yield if the treatment is prolonged. No medicines are required. If taken in the first stages of the disease a cold is broken up which might otherwise become a severe case of bronchitis lasting many days or weeks. Rewards of Inventors It is not always the greatest invention that brings the largest financial rewards. Roller skates are said to have brought their inventor $3,000,000, while nearly half a million was realized by the man who first devised boot laces. The inventor of the safety pin, who took the idea from a reproduction of a Pompeian fresco, says Lee Nouvelle, made $10,000,000. On the other hand, Charles Bourseul, who discovered and described the principle of the telephone in 1855, died poor. Michaux, the inventor of the bicycle, ended his days in the utmost penury, and Fredric Sauvage, who is credited with the invention of the screw propeller, was imprisoned and died bankrupt and insane. Alalama's Iron Ore Deposits Alajama Iron Ore Deposits. The loom which followed the discovery of the extensive deposits of iron ore the vicinity of Birmingham, Alabam, in 1882, was without precedent in the industrial history of the United States, and the rush to Birmingham was paralleled only by the stampses which followed such discoveries as the Comstock lode in Nevada and the Alaska gold fields. The iron des of Alabama, while inferior in quality to those of Lake Superior, have the advantage of being near deposits of good coking coal and of the limeshine requisite for fuxing, so that Birmingham, the Pittsburgh of the south can manufacture pig iron cheaper than any other district of the world. FROM SHEER HABIT. Miss Muffitt had recently joined the "Dead of Sisters for Befriending Burglar" and was being shown over a prison for the first time. One prisoner, evidently a man of education, interested her more than the others. He rose and bowed to her when she entered his cell, apologizing for the poorest of his apartments. "How very interesting!" said Miss Muftt. "Were you—er—the proprietor?"—Answers.

Now where outside of Poland can there be a violinist who is a genius." "Well, Miss Heileen, is a Pole," interrupted the other judely. "Let me tell you about her—" "All right; go on," sald Bittelman resignedly. He knew that he could not afford to offend the millionaire, whose enthusiasm were, nevertheless, the bane of his life. Every week Clough was discovering a new genius and every week Bittelman was turning him or her away with mutterings of execration. "It's like this, Bittelman," began the millionaire. "Last Monday night I was walking home from my club. I saw this street musician—pretty looking girl, only about twenty. She was playing Liszt's Rhapsody—" "Himmel! That's what they all play!" "In the street, and there was a crowd listening. They didn't know that the finest living violinist in America was entertaining them for a few pennies. But I know it. I have heard Joachim and—" "Have you heard Lemarsky?" inquired Bittelman sourly. "I have!" cried Clough triumphantly. "And it was her playing that res A The Wild Music Thrilled Through the Auditorium. minded me of Lemarsky. I had a talk with her. She wouldn't tell me her name at first, then said it was Braun. It seems she's of a fine Polish family and won't degrade the name, as she says, by having it known that she plays on the streets for a living. And she's all alone in the world—and "Enough!" shouted me irascible Bittelman, springing' to his feet. "Now listen. Mr. Clough. If I'm to remain director of the opera house I don't listen to any more penniless geniuses and tell them they're no good and can't play no better than a cat. It upsets my digestion and makes me cross. Now, if you get this genius on at Crossways hall some Sunday and the critics says she's good—the good critics. mind you—I hear her. Otherwise—no." Clough had to yield. He knew that Bittelman would carry out his often repeated threat to resign if he insisted. After all, Bittelman had been good to his proteges. The trouble was, Bittelman did not know that this time he had discovered a real genius. There was no doubt of the strange young woman's talent. "You will eggcuse me," said Bittelman ponderously, as he shook hands with the others. "Listen, now, and I tell you somedings. I and Lemarsky were like Rothers in Warsaw before I came over here. You know about Lemarsky. Never was there such a God-sent violinist as him. And he got married and his wife had a baby and she died, and then Lemarsky used to get crazy drunk and ended up, when the child was about twelve years old, by gutting his throat, poor devil. And so ever since then I do not care to hear the violin. When I heard Pluck play the Rhapsody I said to myself: 'So! You are the famous violinist, but I have heard Lemarsky in my mind's ear and I hate the Rhapsody. I don't want to hear no violin genius unless I've got to. You get her on at Crosswalls hall and maybe I give her a hearing if the critics say she is good." When Clough has gone he sat down in his chair and rummon a secret drawer he took out a photograph. It showed Lemarsky, his life and their child, taken fifteen years and more ago. They had said Bittelman when he was starving the gutter. He had loved Lemarsky better than his life. And after his death he had spent hundreds of dollars to try to trace the child who he had placed in some institution. He could not go back to Poland, at no his quest had been valn. And no this gutter girl wanted to play in Ramsody. "Bittelman, Paul Bittelman, when you were losing I heard you!" he thought he had a voice say. It was Lemarsky's life. He started up, trembling all over. He must have fallen asleep at his desk, for it was growing quite thick. It had been a dream, there he could have --- sworn that his dead friend had him that message from across the measurable space that separate them! Perhaps it was only a dream, but it left a profound impression upon Bittelman. All that night he thought of it, and the next day, and the upshot was that he decided to go to hear the gutter musician at Crossways hall. But he would go secretly, he determined, for Clough would be there and he must not know that he, Bittelman, was curious, or his power would be ended. A word from Clough would secure for anyone a place in the orchestra, but apparently the millionaire had used his influence to better purpose. Surely enough, on Sunday week, according to the morning paper, Fraulen Braun was to play a solo. There were dark hints of a discovery which would amaze the musical world. Bitteman smiled maliciously; but he went, buying his ticket like any ordinary mortal. And when the girl walked on the stage and bowed to the audience there was something in her appearance which arrested him and drove the devils of malice out of his heart. He had seen them so, often, these young women, who hoped to make a reputation; and always they failed, as the men failed. Of a hundred, not one would be found who could play as he had played—as Lemarsky had played. The first strains of the Rhapody sobbed on the strings and the wild music thrilled through the auditorium. Bittelman was sitting up now, gasping. He heard what the audience heard, a wonderful technic coupled with an interpretative skill that showed the soul of the artist; but he heard something that they did not know, something that stirred his very soul. This was the passage . . . now. . . she was coming to it. . . None but Lemarky had ever played it in that way. Would she? Would she? The Rhapody was ended and the house rang with applause, but Herr Bittelman was behind the scenes, and as the girl left the sage he rushed forward with outstretched arms, and, clasping her h them, kissed her on either cheek. "You are my little Staina!" he cried. "You know me? I am Bittel- man—old Littelman, your father's friend!" He turned to the amazel million- aire. "No. She will not play at the opera house," he said. "This is Staina Lemarsky. Don't you under- stand? Lemarsky's girl, all his soul plays through her fingers. But she will never play in putic again. Henceforward she will play only for me!" (Copyright, 1913, by W. G. Chapman.) NEAT JOKE ON "COLLECTOR" Chinaware on Which She Fid Set Her Heart Really Was Not ofExtrem- ely Ancient Maki Framingham Quizzle made his money in beaus; navy beaus, the kind best for army soup. He took some of his money to Long island and bought a pretentious "place." Thereupon Mrs. Quizzle acquired a taste for old porcelain. Now every one knows that many Long island families are of pre-revolutionary stock. Who was more logical than Mrs. Quizzle deduction that old families have old china? She attended auction sals of household goods, such are frequently held in Nassau county, and gatered a collection of stoneware and chickery. Recently she was a bidder in some of the goods and chattels of ed Mrs. Delmonte, who comes of accepted Long Island ancestry. "How much for these bles cups and saucers?" asked Steve, he village auctioneer. "There are two cups and three saucers." "One dollar for each cup and saucer," bid Mrs. Framingham Quizble. "They're yours!" should the auctioneer. After paying for her purchase Mrs. Framingham Quizble turned to Mrs Delmonte. "My," exclaimed the old woman, "if I'd only known it! I could have bought a whole hogshad of them cups and saucers." "You—you—bought them?" asked Mrs. Quizble. "Yes'm; five cents piece at the grocer's roun th' corner they was, only last week." Many have Planned New Judca. Israel Zangwil's plan of a "new Judca" for the Jews has been shared by many illustrious people. Oliver Cromwell in 1654 planned such a new Judca in Surinam, and even before that the Dutch West India company had drawn up a similar scheme for Curacao. Marshal Saxe projected a Jewish kingdom in South America, with himself as king, and in 1825 Maj. Noah purchased Grand island in the River Niagara and attempted to found on it a Jewish state, and today there are in Palestine some 20 colonies of Jews who have managed to return from exile. Nc Stationary. A carpenter who had been engaged to build a cabin for paper, envelopes and other office supplies in a local commission house was busy at his task when one the bookkeepers inquired: "Is that going to be a stationery cabinet?" "No. I don't think so." replied the worker; "at least, I have instructions to put casters on it." A Valuable Man.

New Guinea is one of the few countries that still present untridden fields for the explorer. The difficulties of traveling in the interior of this great island have prompted a German traveler, Lieutenant Graetz, to project the exploration of the island by means of an airship. This will enable the explorers to pass without difficulty over rivers, mountains and jungles which would be traversed only with great toll by ordinary travelers. Up-to-Date German City. Furth, a Bavarian city of 70,000 population, a suburb of the city of Nuremberg, has had in operation for more than two years a municipal garbage incineration plant that is regarded as a model of its kind, and which, in connection with a modern system of garbage collection, makes the disposal of garbage of this city not only the least offensive and most sanitary possible, but also a matter of actual, although small, profit to the municipality. Bad Effect of Moonlight There is scarcely any region on this globe, from the equator to the newly found continent of the arctic circle and the lately discovered south pole, where there is not a general belief in the powerful and deleterious effects of moonlight on fish, newly planted seeds and to a lesser extent on meat which is to become food, says a writer in the New York American.

Now on this getting married stunt I've tried to get a line. Th' folks 'at' its working double say, "Come in th' water's fine." An' em' at' wed an' been divorced upon th' thing are sore. An' like th' Raven they keep on a quoting "Never more." So what's a couple goin' to do, it's either sink or swim When he just really must have her an' she just must have him? They ain't no use advisin' what they want to do they'll do An' fer our interference they'll get mad at me an' you. Col.

If this warm weather keeps up "Rube" Foster will be enticing us out to see his famous ball twirlers. If we are to judge by the calendar winter is about half over. Calendars mean well, but the elements do not always conform to their statements. Those who indulge in the tango will hereafter be compelled to indulge in that pastime in the privacy of their own home. The public has tabooed it. Someone wishes to know why it is the distinguished looking man about whom you inquire invariably turns out to be a bartender. Echo answers why? It might be a good idea for Col. Roosevelt to gather about him another bunch of rough riders, go down in Mexico and slap the wrists of the rebels until they behave. There are some people who believe the Colonel can do anything, so we merely make this as a suggestion. SEX HYGIENE. The "sex hygiene" teaching in the public schools has finally been discontinued after a six months' trial and a heated discussion by the school board as to the inability of retaining or effecting it there is much to be on board that seems right and logical, but for some reason not fully explained, the Catholics took a decided stand against it, and, being in power politically, won out. Just why the teaching of facts concerning life and reproduction should be fraught with evil for future generations, as is contended by some, is a mystery. If children do not learn of these things in a clear minded way at school they will frequently learn in a dirty minded way from older companions. The world is advancing and everything that tends to elevate mankind should have a place in our institutions of learning. It is too bad when religion must be injected into these things. CORRECTING A FALSEHOOD. In the last issue of The Defender an item crept in the paper, in the correspondence sent by R. W. Thompson from Washington, which is an injustice to Mr. Ralph W. Tyler. The Defender will never be a tool to be used by a second party to satisfy that party's private grievance. We have learned that the statement appearing in Mr. Thompson's news to the effect that Mr. Tyler would soon terminate his work with the National Negro Business League because of its being unsatisfactory, is not only false but absolutely without foundation. The Defender as a newspaper has always held Mr. Tyler in high esteem, and has had evidence of his deep interest in' the success of this publication. VAGRANCY LAW Upon numerous occasions attention has been called to a certain class of young women who seem to take pleasure in parading up and down the streets and loitering in the cafes. And they have been warned that if they continue the practice they would be made to suffer for it. The argument is set forth that as long as they are not boisterous and are seemingly attending to their own business no one has the right to interfere with them. But such is not the case. A judge in the Municipal Court recently held that a woman is guilty of vagrancy if found loitering about saloons, cafes or on the streets, even though no disorderly act is proven. A self-respecting woman would not care to do such things and the other kind must accepts what the law metes out to them if they persist in so doing. The vagrancy law has been applied for years to men and why should women be exempt." The reform wave has truly struck Chicago and it is about time, as the underworld element was beginning to think that it was impervious to the law. The women of our race must needs be exceptionally careful in their conduct at all times as the world unjustly holds an opinion of them that is not of the best. PECULIAR LAWS A peculiar law was recently enacted in Kansas. While on the face of it it appears to be a new exhibition of empathy to the Negro. In reality it will be 'of inmeasurable benefit to him. In substance it virtually disfranchises the Negro on the liquor proposition. The provision is that of the local option act, that forbids any municipality or township to license a place for the sale of liquor except upon petition signed by a majority of white residents. This, it will be seen, takes away no rights except the privilege of buying liquor at retail, and it was undoubtedly designed to increase sobriety among the colored people. While the world knows that it is unconstitutional to deprive any American citizen of the smallest right, here is one that is not only good for the black man but for the white man as well. In this same state it is worthy of note that so far they have successfully resisted the enactment of any "Grandfather clause." So many peculiar things happen nowadays, things that there seems to be no rhyme or reason for, reference is made especially to discriminatory legislation, that little surprise is manifested. A certain state will pass a law forbidding the whites and blacks to ride in the same portion of a street car, yet on the back or front platform they crowd together like sheep, and nothing is thought of it. They force the colored people to live in unsanitary sections of the city, yet they employ them to prepare their foods, wash their clothes and do other things about the house. It would appear if only for their own protection that they would see that their servants' surroundings were such that would not subject them to disease that would not only be a monace to themselves but to all who came in contact with them. Prejudice must be akin to love, for it is blind, and there is so much dust in some people's eyes that it will take all the waters of the Mississippi to wash it out. COL. FRANKLIN A. DENNISON. By a unanimous vote of the officers of the Eighth Illinois National Guard, Maj. Franklin A. Dennison was elected colonel of this regiment, an honor that this splendid soldier richly deserves. Col. Dennison is a man in every sense of the word, honest and upright in all his dealings, keen and alert as to things concerning the bet-terment of his race, a lawyer who has made an enviable reputation at the bar and an officer who has made a record second to none. Thoroughly familiar with the intricate workings of this particular military organization, having been almost from its inception connected with it, his fitness for the position is beyond question, and the trust and confidence placed in him is evidenced by unanimous election for the office. In assuming command of the famous Eighth Regiment. Col. Dennison finds that his predecessor has done much toward blazing the way for the new armory building, but much remains to be done as the regiment is comparatively homeless and the new colonel will undoubtedly push to early completion this project. Every man should and doubtless will loyalty support his leader, and The Defender speaks for its many readers when it extends hearty congratulations to Col. Eankin, lin A. Dennison. N. A. A. C. P. MEETING. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People held its annual meeting last Sunday evening at Abraham Lincoln Center, at which time, beside the election of officers to replace those whose terms had expired, the reading of the reports of the various committees and other routine business, two stirring speeches were made by potable visitors—Prof. J. E. Spingarn of New York and Roger Baldwin of St. Louis. Prof. Spingarn, who is chairman of the board of directors of this association, is intensely interested in the work, is thoroughly conversant with every angle of the problem, a problem which he avers is more a white man's than a Negro's, and he is an orator who drives home his points with telling effect. The administration at Washington he held up to the light and showed clearly their policy of discrimination. Florida's recent law preventing white teachers from teaching colored children was decried, as was the dischisement of 900,000 colored men in the South. All along the line were citations to prove that either the colored or the white race needed another emancipation. And what had he to offer as a solution? A battle; yes, a battle royal, not with bullets but with brains. In every city there should be a branch of the national organization whose duty it would be to fight discrimination whenever and wherever found, keep the good the race is doing constantly in the foreground, give allegiance to the party in office who will best represent the race. Put a colored man in public office wherever possible. The vast audience was heartily in accord with all of these sentiments, but his assertion that the colored people have been living under wrong teachings, that they have been following a leader for twenty-five years whose gospel was hard work and the accumulating of money at the cost of citizenship, did not leave a very good taste in the mouths of his hearers, for he was speaking to an intelligent audience that knew the almighty dollar ruled the world, and knew that, under these same teachings, the colored people in 50 years had accumulated $1,000,000,000 worth of property. If so much can be accomplished under so called wrong teachings, what wonders are we capable of performing under right teachings? The field is large, we all cannot think alike. The race needs a Washington, a Dullois, and many others like them. The thing that counts in this world is results, and the thing the race most needs is loyalty within its ranks and friends without its ranks. ... Roger Baldwin, the one man in St. Louis who really has been doing things, looked at the situation from a slightly different viewpoint. The first thing to be gained was the confidence and respect of the white people, and this could not be accomplished by threats or bullying. The accumulation of wealth and honest, upright living was advocated as a standard by which the Negro would accomplish much to be desired. Mr. Baldwin proved plainly that without wealth no group of people could either demand or hope for full citizenship. That so well had the Negroes followed the gospel of work and accumulation of money that many of the seeming increased prejudices were simply the natural resistance of white people to prevent the Negro from securing the things that would naturally follow his steady advance along all lines. Mr. Baldwin declared that there was no resistance to the Negro who lived 50 feet in the rear, but to the Negro who lived 50 feet on either side. That the segregation laws in all these cities were proof that the Negro's rapid progress was alarming, and these measures were being attempted merely to impede the inevitable—the man who owns the land will have something to say as to the ruling of that land and that resolutions will not pay monthly interest on notes. Mr. Baldwin is working toward the same end as Prof. Spingarn. He believes that co-operation of different groups of people will accomplish more than a distinct group battling against all others. If the professor had added to his remarks that since the colored people have accumulated some money the new abolition instead of looking upon this as a disadvantage would consider it a valuable asset and give full measure of credit to whoever inaugurated this accumulating system, remembering the Lord's message to his disciples, "My Father worked and I am come among you to work also." The thought that should be uppermost in the minds of all is not to destroy but to build up. Not pointing out the faults of others, but their virtues; not to imagine that all whose ideas differ from ours are traitors and must be destroyed before we can advance, but "let us dip down our buckets where we are," and each individual of the race give the best that is if him whenever and wherever he can. TRIBUTE TO HON. JOHN C. BUCKNER. By Dr. M. A. Majors And was at home with any rank of men. We saw the throng, 'twas great, the military band Played solemn|marches, and speeches grand. BOOK REVIEW. A Meritorious Novel Written in a Style Pleasing to Any One Who Reads the English Language. "The Strange Case of Eric Marotte," by John Irving Pearce Jr., a Chicago author, in a shapely straight forward story from prologue to peroration, teeming with human sympathy and interest. In fact it is a narrative in whose entirety we find a continuity in the strange admixture of tender sentiment of rollicking romance and historic net; of cruel, silly race prejudice, of adventure and strife and love all in closely and intimately interwoven as to make it delightfully difficult to determine just where fact begins or action ends. The most meritorious feature of the book is the author's ambition to impress upon the reader the inconsistency, the biocy, the inhumanness of race prejudice, the subtle portrayal of their achievements, their struggles and ambitions, the bitterness of their many sorrows and the great duty of the American people to this deserving, persevering race. In order to more indefinitely impress upon the finds of his readers these truths heikes as his hero a foundling, John Janning, leaves him upon the doorstep of a respectable colored Chicago fairly who take him in, nurture him, kishup upon him their unstinted care love and affection, and see him safety through the city's high school and 0 in to a world steeped in prejudice where, after passing through all of the trials common to the average colored boy endeavoring to make his way in to the world, it is discovered and proven that he is not colored but white. To fully appreciate the good and great story one must needs devour from cover to cover the sweetmeats together wit the bitter draughts of this finely wought narrative as only in this way will one be able to judge adequately of the merits, assimilate and digest be good and gratify that pleasurable literary anticipation inherent in every reader who loves good books. Suffice it to say in this brief summary that the mission of books of this type can not fail and its author should receive that practical commendation and approval of his unselfish and honest efforts to aid a much persecuted race by the purchase of his work.

HOW KENTUCKY IS GOVERNED Praise State Normal Institute at Frankfort, Ky. By Hardin Tolbert. Frankfort, Ky., Jan. 16.—The Sixty-sixth annual session of the Kentucky legislature is in session at the beautiful new state capitol on the South Side. The enactment of a bill that provided for each member would get twice as much as in previous years were the means of bringing as usual the best type of Anglo-Saxon's representative to this city, with the enthusiastic of the best interest of the state at large. We can say without candor that there has not been any more courteously gathering of gentlemen than those who composed the Kentucky general assembly of 1914. We hope that this session will eclipse all previous ones to the present, with real legitimate business of the state's interest. There is a record to be made with every individual of this assembly. The interest of thousands are focused upon them as an ideal pedestal. The people of this city are always glad to welcome such a body of gentlemen. We shall be busy, on the alert to get the very best items that will be valuable to the public. Governor James B. McCreary sent his message to the legislature, which covered every face of Kentucky interest and her wants and need. The state is over a million dollars in debt, which would keep some of the charitable institutions from getting appropriations from this session of the legislature, and if there is any way they will be small on the account of this delinquent of the treasure. Governor McCreary highly praised the Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute, of which President G. P. Russell is the standard bearer, on our excellent reports and the conduction of the best body as a whole, the best body is badly in need of the care and many other things. A Weekly Talk on Preventative Measures, First Aid Remedies, Hygienics, Sanitation. No Cases will be Diagnosed and No Prescriptions will be Given in This Column. Consumption of a tuberculosis). The term consumption, or tuberculosis, as used here is unless otherwise indicated, always in reference to lung consumption or lung tuberculosis. We are constrained to write on his subject again because of ourience just a few days ago, and of what Rev. J. W. Robinson of St. Mark's M. E. Church, a street and Wabash avenue, said, on his recent visit and inspecit of the city tubercule is dispensary at Provident Hospital The reverend de or, after looking through our dispensary and inspecting the facilities there for doing good, first-class work, stated that the people of the South Side did not know of the advantages offered at this dispensary and that he would gladly give the writer of this article fifteen minutes to speak and explain to his congregation at the close of his last Sunday morning's sermon the relation, the advantages and the duty that the people of the South Side owe to themselves and the Provident Hospital dispensary. Your writer was on hand and talked about ten minutes to over five hundred people, and many of them at the close of this ten minutes' talk came to the writer and declared that they knew nothing about the advantages offered at the Provident Municipal Tuberculosis Dispensary, corner of Thirty-sixth and Dearborn streets, for diagnosis and treatment of lung consumption. It was stated that only well-trained physicians who obtained their appointment in the dispensary through civil service examination were appointed, and that there were two nurses in attendance—one white and one colored; that every citizen, be he rich or poor, able or unable, had a right without any questioning to come to this dispensary for any heart, lung or chest disease or any such suspected diseases. We are again constrained to write on this subject because of two heart-rending and pitiful sights that were our sorrowful duty to observe this week. Two young children, both less than 8 years of age, both had had measles, and a "bough" for about three months. Both had intelligent parents that loved him and cared for these two children as best they could. It was just a cough, and they gave the children home cough medicines and occasionally got a prescription from the doctor for "cough medicine." On examination we found that both of these two young children's lungs much damaged and far injured in lung consumption. This is a dist fault of somebody. It was not the children's fault. These children should have been carefully examined and repeatedly examined by well-trained doctors and their exact condition ascertained before this late day, before the damage and been done to their lungs. The hope for cure of consumption lies in an early diagnosis. consumption. a widespread affecting human human beings affected. Hogs often troubled not to the exile are.

Hogs and chickens are often troubled with consumption, but not to the extent that man and cattle are. Man and cattle are more susceptible to this disease. Consumption spreads from man to man, and also spreads from animal to man, and from man to animal. It spreads from cow to cow, or animal to animal. But we are more concerned about the germ spreading from one human being to another. Consumption does not attract much attention at first. It is often slow in developing. You may be affected several (weeks or months before any signs of ill health can be noticed or detected by the unskilled in consumption. This slow and unnoticeable development is the chief reason why people often doubt or deny having this disease. It is why people also claim it is "just a cold" or a little "stomach trouble," or a "troublesome cough." Again this slow onset and development often cause neglect of early diagnosis and treatment, and thus cause people to neglect themselves. This slow, unseen and often unfelt, sly, fox-like development of this disease causes many parents to grossly neglect to have their children examined and treated for a "little cough," "loss of flesh" and "tired feeling."

BILL McCUI If consumption developed rapidly and caused many deaths in a few days or few weeks, as do smallpox and diphtheria, owners of cattle, hogs and chickens, to rid their stock of this disease, would immediately take steps to protect them from it. If consumption kills your child, your father, sister, your loving father and mother or other relatives in a few days, a few weeks you would soon get actively busy and take steps to check the progress of this disease and protect your family and neighbors against danger of infection. As previously stated, consumption is sly like a fox. It is often slow in making itself known; otterhood in its course, and seldom arrogant in suspicion until it is well rooted in your lungs and great damage is doomed. One death in every four is due to consumption or pneumonia. You can prevent yourself from dying from consumption or pneumonia if you are welling and will use certain well-known wrought-out principles. These principles have DR.

The following are some valuable health epigrams published in the Kansas State Board of Health Bulletin. Copy and remember them: 3. Fres al is the best life insurance agency; 4. Colds are easily caught, but hard to lose; 5. "Dope" for colds is "dough" for the doctor. 8. Good health is priceless, yet is without price. BOARD OF HEALTH NOTES Crowded conditions create community darges. Kentucky has passed a law prohibiting the public drinking can iting the public drinking cup. It is a fine idea to teach children to think; but teaching them at the same time to use their hands helps them wonderfully in their thinking process. Every school is the state of Oregon, whether in town or country, has its school garden where the children are taught to use their hands and at the same time to think out the things their hands are doing. In these schools a certain part of every day the pupils spend in the open air, where they laugh and fall and work and think and have a good time generally. The important thing about this method of education is that it tends to keep the children physically well and strong. In short it is a splendid idea from a health, standpoint. Don't you think so? Another excellent feature of the Oregon idea is that the public schools of that state are beautiful and attractive places, for the reason that the children keep the grounds and surroundings in pod order and with trees, shrubbery and flowers make of them veritable beauty spots that attract the delighted attention of all who see them. And all this is done without in any way interfering with or curtailing the children's study hours. TUSKEGAN SE THREE PLAY MASSACHU HUNDRE TUI EMPIRE HAD MAGNIFICENT SYS TEM OF WATERWORKS. Daily Supply for the Ancient City. Was 400 Gallons Per Capita, Much More Than Used by Any Modern Community. Will it surprise the citizens of New York, in the year 1914, to learn, if, they did not know it before, that the citizens of Imperial Rome in the year A. D. 300, or thereabouts, were favored with a supply daily of somewhat over 100 gallons of water per capita, as against a supply daily of about 100 gallons per capita which is available at the present writing in this city? Manhattan and the Bronx, with a population of about 3,000,000, receive daily from the Croton watershed about 300,000,000 gallons; but Imperial Rome brought in by aqueduct, chiefly from the distant hills that encircle the Campagna, over 400,000,000 gallons of water per day—and this, by the way, is four-fifths of the total supply which will be led from the Catskill mountains to this city, when the new aqueduct is completed—and New York, be it remembered in respect of its water supply ranks high among the capital cities that are the boast of our modern civilization. The Romans had a full appreciation of the value of an abundant supply of pure water, as ministering to the health, the pastimes and the artistic delight of a city of 1,000,000 souls. The Romans of imperial days had a passion for cleanliness of body, and the stupendous public baths such as those of Trajan Diocletian and Constantine, were capable of accommodating at one time from 1,600 to 3,600 bathers. The water in Rome was the property of the crown, and it was led to the private houses by thousands of pipes, which ran in every direction and under every street, and were stamped with the name of the "concessionaire" to whom it was brought from the nearest crown reservoir. The Roman was nothing if he was not artistic, and huge drafts were made upon the city supply for the magnificent series of public fountain which graced the public squares a plaza, and were to be found cast forth the mountain waters from eye point of vantage. To the engineer and artist a the most attractive feature of water supply of Rome is the ducts, the remains of which, in a mile of picturesque ruins, rr across the desolate and solitary of the once fertile Campagna direction of the distant hills.

WILLIAM MORTON RETURNS HOME William N. Morton, an inspector in the health department, returned to the city Friday after a two weeks' visit to his former home, Atchison, Kan. The immediate cause of the visit was the illness of Mr. Morton's father, whom he found so much improved that he was able to spend one week in Kansas City, Kan., where his sister, Miss Winifred, Morton, is a teacher in the high school. Mr. Morton visited a domestic science teacher at Western University in a suburb of Kansas City. He says he is very much interested in domestic science—to the extent that he has attempted to establish a department for one in a Chicagohome. We wish him success in June. Best bargain on the South Side at 4235 Langley avenue. See Mr. Madden there Sunday between 3 and 5 p. m., or phone Randolph 3751 any day. It is the part of wisdom for the lady to find out before marrying whether the gentleman already has a wife.—Omaha 3ee. Jude Johnson repaired a broken window pane in his house today and then came downtown and told the reporters he had remodeled his house.—Atkinson Globe. "Everybody in our family's some kind of an animal," said Bobby to the amazed lady visitor. "What nonsense!" she exclaimed. "Well," replied Bobby, "mother's a dear, my baby sister is mother's little lamb, I'm the kid and dad's the goat." Good Advice. Mother-in-Law—"The doctor" said I was all in run down and needed strychnine as a tonic. Now, I don't want to take too much. How big a dose do you recommend?" Son-in-Law (hopefully) — "I wouldn't take more than a gallon to begin with." Surely. "Did you ever notice," said Mrs. N. Peck, "that about half of the pictures in the photographers' windows are of bridal couples? I wonder why they always rush off to a photographer's so soon?" "I fancy the husband is responsible for it," said Mr. Peck. "He realizes that it is about his last chance to ever look pleasant." Evolution In Flying One of the most interesting exhibits in the British museum is a collection of birds, showing the gradual evolution of flying creatures, from the pterodactyl to the pigeon.

B. RUSSELL, Mgr. Douglas 6965 CHICAGO --- JOTTINGS THEATRICAL AND OTHERWISE. THE GRAND. Patrons of the Grand who do not go in time to see the "Movies," which always precede the vaudeville, many times miss a rare treat, as some very fine pictures are shown—pictures that make this house distinctive, as they are evidently selected with great care. And too the early goer is repaid by selections of class by the famous grand orchestra, so here again is a demonstration of the early bird catching the worm. Mizzah Silibini opened the bill this week with a semi-juggling and dancing act that was only passable. Williams and Held, billed as a study in black and tan, had a neat little talking act that doubtless would have taken better in another house. It was in the order of Miller and Lytes' with the exception that it was a little courser. They were received poorly and did not have a chance to respond to an encore to show they were a white team. Granville and Mack, the Italian organ grinder and singer, had a good turn and a novel one in many ways. Cook and Stevens are prime favorites and were easily the hit of the bill. Cook's make up as a Chinaman was capital, as was his impersonation of their mannerisms. Stevens is an artist in his line and together they made a combination hard to beat. Wentworth, Vesta and Teddy, two people and a dog, unique gymnasts and athletes—including the dog—were good and the audience showed their appreciation by generous applause. Beginning Monday an exceptionally good bill will be offered for the week. THE JACKSON MIDWINTER RE VIEW. Prof. W. L. Jackson and wife gave their annual midwinter review of their musical school on Wednesday night at Odd Fellows Hall. A large crowd was present. A fine program was rendered. The pups did admirably well and every mother and father present were greatly pleased with the results obtained. Mr. and Mrs. Jackson deserve the highest compliments for the good work they are doing in the "Windy City" along musical lines. ETHEL MINOR. Miss Ethel Minor, the talented young pianist who has been touring Canada for the past three months with the Williams Jubilee Singers, spent the holidays with her mother and left last week with the same company for the East, to be gone until May.

LOS ANGELES SOCIETY. (Special to The Chicago Defender.) Los Angeles, Cal., Jan. 16. Conditions about Los Angeles have now begun to improve greatly. The holidays are over and we sincerely hope for a better future than we have had a past. Mr. D. H. Lusk, commissary agent, has taken charge of the dining cars operated on the Train De Luxe between San Francisco and New Orleans, and has put quite a few of his old men back to work. The Salt Lake is expected to put on a new train soon. The Santa Fe is doing the usual amount of business, running two sections across the continent twice a week. The Hotel Darby's head waiter, Mr. Dan Adams, with his second head, Mr. A. B. Browning, is getting his season's crew together. To the great surprise of many, death came to Mr. Al Franklin's residence between 6 and 7 on Ceros avenue. Mr. Franklin was one of the exceptions in his class. He has made a park for his race in Los Angeles to follow. Mr. Franklin came to Los Angeles just a few years ago from El Paso, Texas, and was employed as dining car waiter by the Salt Lake railroad company. Since that time he has operated very successfully the only up-to-date colored pool room in Los Angeles at one time, and also owned a seven-passenger touring car which stood in front of his place for hire. He leaves a wife, mother and several brothers to mourn the loss of their beloved one. Mr. A. R. Russell, who has been chief on Diner 700, S. P. L. A. S. L. railroad company, was relieved by Chief J. Mussie. Mr. Mussie is one of the old reliable chiefs of the Wabash railroad company. Mr. Russell is a reader of the Defender, and Mr. Mussie says he will take it up where Chief Russell left off. He knows what the Defender is. Mr. Hill sends word to his old "Chi" friends to look out for him this summer if nothing happens. Mr. Hill is very comical in his expression. Miss Sarah Garner of Lake Forest, DL, who recently came to California and made her first stop in Pasadena, Cal., has since that time found that Los Angeles is the best place and is now living here. Miss Ester Norwood and Miss Ester Smackun, both Chicagoans, are still in Pasadena. Miss Garner is expecting to entertain Miss Norwood and Miss Smackun in Los Angeles soon. Anyone wishing to subscribe for the Defender in Los Angeles call Main 4287; ask for G. A. Lewis. If he is not there, leave order. If any papers are left over they will be found at the Pullman barber shop, next door to the Pullman Social Club, where you will find all the boys.

Tenn., where she went to bury her sister. Mrs. Bell was quite ill when she left, but after the change to the South she has gained both in health and weight. "Good lands, but Ive kicked a cat!" Miss Lysle Teller, stenographer in the city and living with her mother in a suburban village, had been one of the last to leave the electric car, and in the gloom of a winter's evening her foot had struck something soft and furry and kicked it ahead of her. "Here, pussy, pussy, pussy!" But pussy did not respond with a meow or reproach that she had been kicked. "My soul, but it's a muff!" So it was, and of the latest style and a very expensive one. Of course, someone who had passed that way had lost it. Miss Lysle ran for two blocks, hoping to meet or overtake the loser, but she saw no one. Miss Lysle had a brother Ben. He had just begun the study of law. He had advanced far enough to be able to state the difference between arson and burglary, and seized upon every opportunity to air his law. When the muff had been inspected and admired at home he said: "Um! You must be careful about this matter, Lysle, or it'll turn out a complicated legal case." The next morning Miss Lysle asked the car conductor, but he could not help her out. She was carrying the muff to the office with her, and on the car with her was a hatchet-faced young man who was given to induction and inference. Here was a girl whose outfit did not cost over $35, and yet she was carrying a sable muff that must have cost hundreds. When Miss Lysle left the suburban car in the city the young man crowded forward and lifted his hat and said: "It is about the muff I wish to speak to you." "O-h-h!" "My sister will be so glad!" "Then it was your sister who—" The girl caught herself. She wasn't so simple after all. "I was about to advertise the loss of the fur," suavely observed the young man. A young man who didn't like the look of the hatchet-faced one at all had halted within hearing distance, and he now stepped forward and said to Miss Lysh: "I beg your pardon, but is that young man annoying you?" "He claims that his sister lost this muff, and I don't believe him." "You found it, did you?" "Yes, sir." "Better advertise for an owner. As for this fellow here, if he doesn't take himself off I'll call an officer. He's a fraud and a swindle! Good morning." The young man took himself off, but he rode down town on the same car with Miss Lysle, just the same, and followed her to the office where she was employed. If he could get hold of that muff it would be $50 in his pocket. Miss Lysle's brother Ben, the rising young lawyer, had advised her to advertise her find. At the office she was advised to wait a day and let the loser advertise. She adopted this plan. When she started for home in the evening she carried the muff with her. The hatchet-faced young man was waiting to follow her. That sigh muff was a great temptation to him. Mr. Clyde Melton, the young sculptor, came along just as the girl stepped to the walk and he followed on—not because he was seeking a filtration—not because he identified her as the girl of the morning whose part he had taken against hatchet-face, but because he had received a message from his sister in the same suburb Miss Lysle lived in stating that something awful had happened and he must come as soon as ever he could. And so the trio rode on until the "All out!" of the conductor was shouted. Then there was a scramble, and Miss Lysle hurried away, the thief followed, and the sculptor almost ran. The thief was too precipitate. He attacked the girl while the sculptor was yet within hearing. Her screams as she fought with one hand and held on to the muff with the other brought Mr. Melton back, and he recognized the assailant at once. Right and justice seldom triumph, but this was one of the exceptions. The thief was knocked down. He was punched. He was battered. He was choked. He had his eyes blacked and his nose skinned. He was jerked to his feet and kicked around the corner, and the sculptor turned to receive the thanks of the girl with the sable muff. She had disappeared! Ten minutes later his sister was weepingly saying to him: "Oh, Clyde, it's awful—just awful!" "Baby dead?" "No. I've lost that new sable muff that I bought the other day!" "Sable muff?" "Yes. I lost it on the street coming from the car." "But you have advertised it?" "No. Fred is away, you know, and I didn't know how to get an advertisement to the city papers. What on earth shall I do?" "Cease to weep and I'll find your muff." The sculptor went back to the spot. He didn't look for the girl's tracks. He walked two blocks down a side street and then rang a bell. Luck had been a good guide. It was Miss Lyle Teller that came to the door in answer. It took just two hours to straighten out the tangle of that sable muff, and then followed another. Brother Ben, the rising young lawyer, didn't have anything to say about this latter tangle for several months, and then it was in a very serious tone that he said: "Mother, didn't I say that unless this case was handled right there would be serious complications?" "Mercy on me, but what's happened?" "The hero and heroline are engaged to be married! Both admit their guilt!" Washington, D. C., Jan. 16—Mrs. Rosa.
