This is the fifth donation made by Mr. Rosenwald to be used for a like work. Y. M. C. A. buildings for Afro-Americans have already been built in Chicago, Philadelphia, Indianapolis and Washington and five other cities will receive checks for $25,000 when they have raised the $75,000 to build Y. M. C. A.'s. They are Atlanta, Cincinnati, Baltimore, New York and Los Angeles. Donations also will be made to Y. M. C. A. organizations for women in Detroit and New York, it was understood. Mr. Beardsley, in commenting on Mr. Rosenwald's gift, said: "We feel that the opening of work in this building will mark a new era in the relationship of the two races in Kansas City."

LONDON REPORT SAYS HAS PRICE FOR TITLE Rumored in Sporting Circles that in Event of His Victory Over Jack Johnson He will Let a White Man Defeat Him Later. The latest in fight circles is the announcement that Champion Jack Johnson is to fight Sam Langford of Boston in London in October, but the report is not cheerfully received by the admirers of the world's champion. No Love for Langford. Many believe that Langford cannot whip Jack, but they have no particular love for him anyhow, and the persistent rumors emanating from London that in the event of him being the victor of the champion he would later allow a white man to defeat him makes even their regard for him grow less. But such is the report from reliable sources. Champion to Retire. That Jack Johnson, the champion, is to retire after his fight is known, and this gave foundation to the report. In Jeffries' Corner. Then it is remembered that when Johnson fought Jeffries at Reno Sam Langford was in Jeffries' corner, and his antipathy to the champion both in private and public talk is enough to make the most fair-minded person suspicious. 88 Vance J.

Chicago Defender WORLD'S LARGEST WEBLIFE 29TH CONVENTION CHICAGO DISTRICT SUNDAY SCHOOL. Rev. W. D. Cook, Presiding Elder, and P. H. Lucas Preside—District Officers Installed—Program in Part. 29TH CONVENTION CHICAGO DEFENDER SPORTING EXTRA PLEASES READERS Issue Containing Truthful Account of Johnson-Moran Fight Quickly Sold Out—Arraignment of White Sporting Writers Strikes Popular Chord. Other Race Newspapers Praise Champion. Last Saturday's edition of the Chicago Defender—its "sporting extra," containing a full and truthful account of the Johnson-Moran fight—pleased the people. It did more. It conclusively proved these two facts: First, that the masses are still interested in Champion Jack Johnson. Second, that they know that the Chicago Defender would print all the FACTS about the fight. Hence the great demand for it. Defender in Demand. Owing to July 4 the Defender was printed a day earlier than usual, reaching its city subscribers in the first mail Friday morning and the news stands early that afternoon. All day Saturday the paper was in great demand, everybody holiday-bent seeking the Defender's account of the great fight. Before night many of the newsdealers were sold out and were compelled to secure a fresh supply for their regular Sunday customers. Interest centered in the special ring-side story of the battle and the picture of the champion and his wife. Sufficient time had elapsed between the fight and the appearance of the Defender to make the special articles enjoyable. The reading public had sufficient and to spare of the prejudiced opinions of white sporting writers, and the special article by Frank A. Young, the sporting editor, and Tony Langston were like refreshing breezes on a summer night. Remember Defender Said So. "Jack Johnson is still the world's champion" is the story told by race newspapers all over the country. Many of them devote three and four columns to their account of the wonderful fistic encounter, and quite a few ran the champion's picture. When Jack Johnson got the decision over Frank Moran Anglo-Saxon supremacy in the heavyweight class went trailing in the dust, and when he meets and defeats Langford, who is said to be a tool for moneyed white men, remember it was the Chicago Defender that told you so. MISSISSIPPI SHERIFF PREVENTS LYNCHING Summons Citizens and Foils Bloodthirsty Mob Who Would Put Afro-American to Death. (Special to the Chicago Defender.) Day Springs, Miss., July 10.—A mob which Wednesday night attempted to lynch Mose Johnson, was baffled by Sheriff Jones, who sumoned thirty citizens to re-enforce his thirteen deputies and announced he would protect the prisoner at all hazards. After surrounding the jail for several hours the mob dispersed early. Johnson will be taken to Jackson, Miss., for safe keeping. Johnson is accused of robbing the pay car of the Gilchrist-Fordney Company at Stevens, Miss., June 27, obtaining $2,300 in currency. In the robbery one clerk was killed and two were wounded. Nothing will make a man feel quite so good as to catch a train he felt sure he was going to miss. Defender in Demand. Slap White Sporting Writers. Remember Defender Said So. H. PASCAL PEARSON TAKES UP HIS RESIDENCE IN CHICAGO First Afro-American t. Obtain Degree from the University of Southern California Law School and First to Graduate from Pasadena High School to Practice Here. Upon the door of a downtown office building favored by lawyers in a few days will appear a new name. It will read "H. Pascal Pearson," and will serve to introduce to Chicagoans one of the brightest acquisitions to the legal fraternity in many years. Mr. Pearson, who resides with Mr. and Mrs. Goemmer, 5011 South Wabash avenue, was the first man of the race to receive the degree of bachelor of laws from the University of Southern California and also has the honor to be the first Afro-American to graduate from the Pasadena high school. Mr. Pearson was born in Williamsburg, Dorchester county, Maryland, in 1886. In infancy he was taken to Brooklyn, N. Y., where his father, Hal Pascal Pearson, was a master mechanic employed in construction work about the Brooklyn navy yards. Becoming an orphan through the death H. Pascal Pearson. of his mother in 1893 and of his father in 1899, young Pearson in the latter year went to Pasadena to find a home with his guardian, Miss Florence Weimar. Here he spent his boyhood and youth. Completing his elementary education at Garfield school, Pearson entered the high school in 1902, graduating from this institution in 1908. The next two years were spent in working and preparation for college. In the fall of 1911 Mr. Pearson entered the college of law of the University of Southern California in spite of alleged race prejudice that had kept Afro-Americans out of the institution until that time. During his three years work in the college Mr. Pearson won the esteem of hfs fellow students and the respect of his instructors by his conscientious industry and gentlemanly conduct. The authorities have established an infant welfare station at 3132 LaSalle street, in charge of Miss G. M. Charleston. Miss Charleston is a graduate of Provident Hospital training school and is thoroughly fitted to instruct mothers in the care of infants and to administer to the deserving children who are ill. She is the right woman in the right place. HONORED AT LUNCHEON. Mrs. L. Brackett Bishop of the Chicago Beach Hotel and Mrs. Ellis Bayard of Pasadena, a native African, were entertained at lunch Sunday by Mr. and Mrs. R.

Pupils Themselves Determine To Set Pace For Other Cities Stimulated By Large Classes This Year—New York, Baltimore and Boston Are Behind Chicago in This Particular. TEACHERS ATTENDING SUMMER SCHOOLS ALSO INCENTIVE. Many Pupils Spend Summer Holidays in Preparation for Fall Term—Wendell Phillips to Have Fifty Graduates Next Year—Parents and Teachers Promise to Aid in Every Way These Enthusiastic Seekers After Knowledge. Chicago is having an educational awakening and, strange to say, this desire for more knowledge comes from the young boys and girls still in school who now on their summer vacation are planning and telling what they are going to do when the schools open again in the fall. Wherever these young folks gather studies and what can be done to help perfect them along their favorite line are a part of the conversation. It develops that graduation of a large class from the Wendell Phillips high school, the rapid progress of certain pupils in other high schools and the remarkable showing in the grammar schools has spurred the children to resolve to excel this year's record next year. A Haven for Students. This summer every phase of city life bespeaks study and education. Everywhere the children go they meet strangers of every age in Chicago for study of some sort. Many are teachers taking advantage of the summer schools at the University of Chicago and elsewhere; others are pupils of even age whose parents have planned the vacation trip to embrace both pleasure and study. Those competent to speak declare that there are more students in Chicago this summer than ever before. Naturally in an environment where more knowledge is the prime factor it is no wonder that Chicago's bright school contingent should be imbued with a thirst for more knowledge themselves. The spirit is commendable, forecasting greater efforts on the part of teachers and parents to keep alive this spirit during the four long years comprising the full school term. Speaking of the school term brings this thought and the credit for it belongs to one of our well-known public school teachers: "No matter what the sacrifice, let your child have the advantage of the full school term. Were the chances for employment for our boys and girls greater, a two-year term crowding in the four years' studies would be advocated. But, limited as they are, their only salvation is the diploma at the expiration of the full term." What John Sheridan Knew. John Sheridan is a high school graduate.

Dayton, Ohio, July 10—A new era in Chicago's track athletics was marked Saturday at Dayton, Ohio, when Coach Charlie Wilson's perfectly balanced Illinois Athletic Club team took first honors in the Central A. A. U. championships. This has been a bad year for champions in every division of sport, and the Tricolor men proceeded to demonstrate that track was to be no exception to the rule.

Waterloo, Iowa, July 10.—An attempt was made by a lone bandit to hold up Illinois Central passenger train No.11 one mile east of Epworth, Iowa, Wednesday night. The bandit ordered the porter, Henry Bruce, to search the passengers while he stood guard with a drawn revolver. The porter replied by seizing the bandit's weapon, both of them rolling to the floor of the car. The pistol was discharged several times, but no one was injured. Passengers heard the struggle and gave the signal to stop the train, whereupon the bandit freed himself PRICE 5 CENTS HOME EDITION ICE 5 CENTS 1 CHICAGO AND FREMONT PORTRAIT 10 CENTS S PAW NIVERSITY OF CHICAGO TRACK DEMON.

This does not even exclude the famous Ira Davenport, for Dismond ran his race on a straightaway track in :48%, a mark which has not even been approached in this district. Dismond is an eastern man and has been a scratch performer in the Metropolitan A. A. division for several years. This was his second race under Maroon colors. His First Race. Saturday, June 20, Dismond entered into the Grant Park games and took first place in the trial heat of the 440-yard race in 50 seconds, and came back later, winning the final against a strong field in :49 flat. Dismond ran one of the prettiest races seen here in many a day. Coming from behind in the final spurt he brushed past the entire field, winning with an easy stride, holding the crowd breathless so sensational was his work. He was the only Maroon athlete to get placed, and in so doing he has placed Chicago University in fourth place, tied with Wisconsin. Big Testimonial Friday night the clubs of Chicago and a number of friends tendered Mr. Dismond a monster testimonial at the Appomattox Club. The young athlete was feasted and lauded for his victories, and urged to keep up his record of being the best. and jumped off, escaping into the nearby woods. It is believed the bandit boarded the train in Dubuque. An automobile was seen standing at the outskirts of Epworth and it is believed to have been occupied by an accomplice. It was driven away rapidly when the train stopped at Epworth. TWO WHITE YOUTHS BURN AGED MAN TO DEATH Baltimore, Md., July 10.—(Special.) —Joseph Darby and George Slopps, young white men, are in the county jail at Hebron charged with pouring kerosene on Benjamin Goslee, 71 years old, a well known Afro-American citizen, and setting fire to his clothing, burning him so badly that he died in a few minutes. FOURTH OF JULY AT MOSELEY PLAYGROUND. The Special Park Commissioners of the City of Chicago arranged a play festival and "Sane Fourth" celebration at the Moseley Municipal Playground, 24th and Wabash avenue, that afforded pleasure to thousands of people who filled and crowded around the park. The program was participated in by the bright boys and girls of both races that make up the membership of this well-known school. The Chicago Defender reporter present enjoyed the event from start to finish, the complete absence of any racial feeling being the chief charm of the occasion. AGE TWO VANCE J. ANDERSON RECEIVES PATENT RIGHTS FOR FENDER Popular Postoffice Employe Turns Inventor and Makes Practical Lifesaving Device Which Street Car Companies Want to Buy at an Enormous Price. Like all other Chicagoans, Vance J. Anderson has inculcated into him the new city slogan, "Safety first," but his idea of safety has taken a practical turn and the popular postoffice employee has invented and had patented a practical street car fender. So quietly did Mr. Anderson do his work that it was only when papers giving him the patent rights were issued that the Chicago Defender became aware of the matter through one of its alert Washington correspondents. Mr. Anderson was found at his home, 4333 Forestville avenue, and was adverse to discussing the matter until he learned that the reporter was in possession of positive information about it. Then it was learned that he had made his own blueprints and model. The first model was made at a cost of 25 cents. It is a fender that will automatically pick up any object that it strikes. Mr. Anderson conceived his idea by reading of so many fatal accidents by people being crushed beneath street cars, and he noticed that the fenders now in use to protect do not protect. Being convinced that something should be done he got busy with the result that he has made the first practical car fender. The patent was allowed on May 11, but the papers were not issued until June 7. Naturally there are those who keep in touch with such matters, and it was learned later that Mr. Anderson had already had a flattering offer for his patent rights. Mr. Anderson is employed in the registry division of the main postoffice and his many friends, no doubt surprised at his entrance into the difficult field of invention, will be pleased at his success.

Wilberforce Williams as they ought to be. We certainly owe him a debt of gratitude at least for enlightening us on the subject of sickness and health, for now I judge a number of us are convinced that illness is not a necessary accompaniment to life, but the result of wrong living. We, I believe, more than any other race, seem to have no regard for the laws of health, seem to regard our eating and sleeping and bathing as incidentals of no particular importance. We, as women, who for the sake of the family, dependent upon us, need so much to know all these things, and should tender him a vote of thanks for enlightening us. I am a mother of a large family of healthy children and would say to other mothers, "Don't let them eat all kinds of trash during the hot weather. Dr. Williams is proving to us that good health is a matter of right living, if ill health is unnecessary among the grown people. It is just as unnecessary among children, but we, the parents, must direct them. They can not be expected to know what is best for them. MRS. A.

FRANK PARK TO CARRYOUTPOLICY OF OUTLAW STATE FRANK PARK TO CARRYOUTPOLICY OF OUTLAW STATE "Cracker" Congressman From Second Georgia District Filling the Unexpired Term of the Arch Race Hater, Roddemberry, Who Died Vilifying the Afro-American, Breaks Into Limelight. TO BAR RACE FROM BEING OFFICERS IN U. S. ARMY AND NAVY. In Contrast to Unfair Measure Is Bill Introduced by Graham (Republican) Making It Possible for Northerners Who Fought in the Rebel Army to Receive Back Pay—Another Chapter on the President's Lapse of Memory. (Special to the Chicago Defender.) Washington, July 10.—Frank Park, a "cracker" congressman from the Second Georgia congressional district, introduced a bill in congress last week to prohibit Afro-Americans from being appointed to commissioned or noncommissioned offices in the United States army or navy. The bill provides as follows: "Be It Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress Assembled: That from and after the passage of this act it shall be unlawful for persons of the Negro race to be designated, elected or appointed commissioned or non-commissioned officers in the army or navy c the United States. "That all laws in conflict with this act be and the same are hereby repealed." Roddenberry's Awful Death. Roddenberry's Awful Death. This is Park's first term in congress, he having been elected to fill out the unexpired term of Congressman Roddenberry, whose assaults upon the race while a member of congress became notorious; who declared on the floor of the house: that he would never knowingly or willingly vote to pay a dollar of pension to any "nigger." He made this statement in discussing a bill to increase the pension of a civil war veteran who was blind, paralyzed and a victim of spinal meningitis, the result of army experience, from $24 to $30 per month. Roddenberry's term and his tirades against the race were cut short by cancer of the throat—a sort of just retribution—which ended his miserable life. Park was elected to fill his unexpired term, and thus signals his entrance into congress by the introduction of a restrictive measure against the race. It may be that he in time will contract the fatal malady which carried off his predecessor whose anti-race policy he is bent on carrying out. Magnanimous Northerner. Magnanimous Northerner. Right on the heels of Park's anti-race bill Congressman Graham of Philadelphia, and a Republican, introduced a bill to remove the prohibition from West Point graduates who on the breaking out of the war deserted the flag and enlisted and fought with the rebel army, so that they may be entitled to draw whatever arrears of pay were due them at the breaking out of the war and which the government declared forfeited to all rebels and deserters. After Congressman Graham delivered a strong speech in support of his bill, punctuated by thunderous applause from the Southernners on the Democratic side, the bill was rushed through by a big majority. The statue of the rebel General Lee stands in the rotunda, or statuary hall, of congress; the statue of the Confederate President Jeff Davis will soon be placed in position there. Rebel soldiers can now be buried at Arlington Cemetery here, once consecrated to the Union dead, and a Confederate monument was unveiled there June 4 with a eulogistic speech by a president of a "united country." Rapidly is the South retrieving all they lost in the war and which they could not win with arms. President's Lance of Memory. President Wilson, in discussing the filling of the position of recorder of deeds with callers last week, stated that he proposed to appoint an Afro-American to the position because he had promised a delegation of men who called on him in the very beginning of his term that he would appoint a race man to every position vacated by a man of the race. How well the president has kept that promise is shown by the fact that he has quickly and unceremoniously, and without apology, appointed white men—not Afro-Americans—to succeed an assistant attorney general, auditor for the navy, register of the treasury, assistant register of the treasury, collector for the port of Beaufort, S. C.; collector for the port of St. Marys, Ga.; minister to Haiti, a black republic; consul to Conac, France; consul to the Azores, and also to succeed an Afro-American member of the District board of charities, this latter being an unsalaried office. Also a number of Afro-American clerks have been succeeded by white clerks. In addition to this President Wilson has countenanced the adoption of a segregation policy respecting government employees here, and even in the face of protest from both races permits that policy to continue in vogue. Glocks and Time The punishment does sometimes fit the crime. An individual who for some months past specialized in thefts of clocks was last week given time. —Punch. Real Love.

CHICAGO AGENTS WANTED A long, low whine came from a corner of the Charlestons' comfortable living room, and ceased abruptly at a sharp exclamation of impatience from young Mrs. Charleston. A little brown body quivered perceptibly at the rebuke, and then sank its slick head hopelessly on its front paws and gazed mournfully into space. For three long, agonizing days Teenie's one beloved puppy, the last of the litter, had been missing. Patiently Teenie had searched the large house from garret to cellar, but no baby was to be found. Then she had searched the lawn and the outhouses, all without avail. Spurred by anxiety, she had surpiritiously made several tours along the broad, white road which ran past the house, a place on which she was forbidden to venture alone, last she was crushed by the insolent shagging cars which sped past the house. But up hill and down dale no puppy was to be found. At first Teenie gave vent to her grief by oft-repeated sobbing little cries, but these had grated upon the nerves of the pretty misrese, and she had slapped Teenie smartly. It was after the slapping that Teenie had crept to the living-room corner, and only in a moment of forgetfulness did she now wall forth her suffering—moments that usually came when she waked from a troubled doze to the harsh reality of her little life and its emptiness. If the mistress could have made Teenle understand, she might have told her that the puppy had gone to live two miles further up the white road, with people who would be very kind to him, and where there were little children who would love him dearly. But Teenle, unusually intelligent as she was, could not have understood so much, and probably would not have been reconciled had she known the facts; and the young mistress, not always as thoughtful as she might be, perhaps would not have taken the trouble to enlighten the little dog had it been able to understand. And so the mistress went on reading her entertaining little book, and Teenle lay in her dark corner nursing the dull ache of her heart. A half hour went by, and no sound came from either. Suddenly hurried footsteps sounded along the uncarpeted hall. A timid knock came upon the closed door, and a disheveled, red-eyed nurse maid appeared. At sight of the mistress the maid's face went white, and for a moment she could not speak. "What is the trouble?" asked the mistress sharply. "Oh, ma'am, Master Jack's not in the house or the garden. Thomas and me's been searchin' for him for the last hour. Ain't we, Thomas?" "Yes, ma'am?" sputtered Thomas, gazing pop-eyed over the maid's shoulder at the mistress. From then on pandemonium reigned. Already it was growing dusk, and dryeyed and terror-clutched, the young mother alternately paced the floor and watched from the windows. There was nothing to do but wait, wait, while her hastily summoned husband and the servants searched the surrounding country for her five-year-old boy. At last the fear and agony within grew to such proportions that for sheer relief the mistress gave vent to a trembling cry, and, sinking into the floor, buried her face in her hands. And then, from a dark corner of the living room, came an answering cry, and the next moment a hot, feverish little muzzle tried to force itself gently between Mrs. Charleston's tense, white fingers. For a brief moment the fingers did not relax, and then the hands fell slowly from the face of the mistress. As they reached her lap, they clenched, and a hunted look crept into her eyes as a new thought took shape in her mind and greed rapidly. Suddenly she cried out: "Teenie, Teenie, you know, you know! And it was I, I who took away your little one, I who made you suffer as I suffer now! And then, oh, Teenie, Teenie, I punished you for crying! And now you try to comfort me. May the Blessed Mother forgive me!" It was then that that telephone bell rang, and Mrs. Charleston sprang with nervous haste to her feet, almost upsetting the little dog. In response to her trembling "Well!" there must have been exciting news. "Oh!" sobbed the mistress, joyfully, "at your house? We thought he was lost, Mrs. Doon. I'm so glad, so glad! Came after the puppy because Teenie cried for it? Oh, Mrs. Doon! Well, if you don't mind returning it—Teenie's been so unhappy. You'll bring them both in the car? Thank you, thank you, Mrs. Doon! "Teenie, darling!" cried the mistress, "they're coming home, Jackie and the puppy, and they'll be here—here" but just then the mistress fainted from happiness, and Teenie barked excitedly for help. The Perfect Husband My perfect husband, among a great many other qualities, must love like a Frenchman, attend to business like an American and dress like an Englishman. I have come back from America with a great admiration for the American man's devotion to business. If one were permitted to have three husbands he should certainly be one of them. This is how I would divide their labor: The Frenchman should be for the home, the Englishman for the street and the American for the office.—Polaire in London Chronicle. To the Life.

The pastor never fails to prepare strong sermons for both morning and evening, for he knows his audience is sure. His discourse on the evils of materialism was replete with practical lessons. The young people's meeting was led by the president, W. D. Jefferson. The chairman, E. S. Brantley, stated that the plans for the mid-summer carnival on the church lawn were complete. The Sabbath School had its annual picnic at Washington Park on the Fourth, which was very largely patronized. ST. LUKE M. E. CHURCH.

"Rube" Foster Succumbs to Great Beaver Artillery, While "Hot Stuff" Dixon Toys With Losers. The Beavers celebrated the 4th by whaling the William Hale Thompson before a record-breaking crowd, whose interest seemed to be glued until the last man was out. Thirty minutes before the umpire said play ball, the crowd had enmassed around the field, thus signaling passers-by that the coming battle was to be a grueling one. All the fans were puzzled about who was going to pitch; but it was a cinch that Foster was to be Henderson's choice, while Myers warmed up three of his speed kings. When Barber, the first man, stepped to the plate the Beaver followers created such a big noise with their megaphones that it could be heard for a mile in all directions. After a long conference, Hershberg and Myers decided to send in big Ted, but they soon found it was not Ted's day to pitch because he gave signs of wildness. Dixon relieved Ted in the second whey the latter was touched for four runs, and after that the speed merchant was invincible. Here the saucy Beavers gave the spectators a wonderful exhibition of uphill climbing. Wyatt Houston, considered by many to be the Tyrus Cobb of the prairies, scored the first two runs for the Beavers, and also was the real cause of Foster's exit. Drake and Braxton shared honors in the field with Allen, P. Oliver, Barber and Sledge, which, with W. Washington's throwing, was a feature. Houston was the batting star alone, always backing the opposing fielders in the crowd for his long drives; while Barber also connected with Foster's slow, which the latter never served thereafter. McDoogle, former pitcher for the Lincoln, finished the game, but was no puzzle to the Beaver battlers. Next Sunday the Beavers will play the Park A. C., who have defeated the W. H. T. twice this year, and this should prove to be a great struggle. AMERICAN GIANTS BEAT CUBAN STARS IN TWO GAMES July 4 in a battle full of thrilling plays the American Giants won the opening game of their series with the Cuban Stars at American Giants Park, 5 to 4. The Giants won in the seventh inning when a hit by Barber was followed with three errors by the Islanders. Sunday. The Giants duplicated their performance in the opening game of the series with the Cuban Stars by winning from them again Sunday by the same score as the first game, 5 to 4. A bad seventh inning, when three hits, Chacon's error and a hit batman cost three runs, lost the Cubans the game. MILWAUKEE, WIS Milwaukee, Wis., July 10.—The Open Air Culture Club, chaperoned by Mrs. S. A. Matthews of Oakland avenue, gave an outing at Riverview Park on July 1 in honor of Mrs. James D.

Cooke and little Miss Almer, while the remainder of the party were onlookers. Included in the number besides the above mentioned were Messrs. P. C. Clarke, S. A. Matthews, and Baby Cooke, who evidently was general favorite with all, upon whom she beamed with her smiles, this being her first outing which was delightfully enjoyed by everyone present.

DICKERSON TO LECTURE AT RUSH Unusual Honor Bestowed upon Brilliant Eye, Nose and Throat Specialist—A Short Sketch of His Career. --- Dr. Spencer C. Dickerson of 3601 State street has shown such great technical ability while assisting the leading eye, ear, nose and throat clinicians of the foremost medical school in the country that a unique honor has been accorded him by them. Dr. Dickerson has been requested by Dr. Reder of Rush Medical College to give several lectures and demonstrations to senior students in the eye clinic on the bacteriology of the eye. This, however, is only one of the many unusual attentions that Dr. Dickerson has received from learned college professors. The following is a little sketch of his student and professional career: He was born in Austin, Texas; graduated from Tillotson College in 1891; taught there two years; entered University of Chicago in 1893 and graduated in 1897. While there won "C" in track athletics in 1894 and 1895. Entered the sophomore class in Northwestern University Medical School fall of 1897; while here was entered in the honor roll for proficiency of work; accepted the chair of science in Roger Williams University in 1898 and 1899; also lectured at Meharry Medical school on the physiology and anatomy of the central nervous system. Entered Rush Medical College of Chicago in 1899 and for two years was student-instructor in physiology and laboratory assistant; graduated in 1901. In hospital examinations won second place for Cook county; refused on account of color. Won third place at Presbyterian; color again prevented appointment. Won first place at Provident Hospital, but finally on the advice of an older physician accepted an internship at Freedman's Hospital, Washington, D. C., where he served most proficient for one year. In 1902 to 1907 he practiced in New Bedford, Mass., and while there had the confidence and respect of both the laity and the profession. He was a member of the New Bedford Medical Society (the only colored man who has that distinction); had the distinction of writing the best papers ever read before that society. All papers were published in the best eastern medical journals. His paper on "Immunity," published in the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal, attracted considerable attention and elicited the request from the librarian of Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, for two copies of his reprints to file away for scientific references. Returned to Chicago in 1897; pathologist to Provident Hospital 1908 to 1913; at present assistant in eye, ear, nose and throat department at Rush Medical College. Took civil service examination for health officer and appointed 'as school physician to Raymond, Keith, Mosely and St. Monica's March 1, 1914. Dr. Dickerson leaves next week for Harvard Medical College, where he will spend the remainder of the summer in intensive study on the eye. When interviewed for this article Dr. Dickerson in his usual retiring way admitted his success in late years has been greatly enhanced by Mrs. Dickerson, his wife, who is a professional nurse of high standing. Women Witnesses Criticized Judge Lush-Wilson, K. C., remarked at Exeter (England) county court to a woman litigant who continually interrupted: "Madam, I run the risk, I know, of criticism from your sex when I say, that they are the most troublesome people I have to deal with. Why can't you women exercise the same amount of self-control in the witness-box as men have to do?" Supply of Wood for Pencils East Africa has now come forward with a new wood suitable for lead pencils at a time when the supply of American cedar, so largely employed for that purpose, is approaching exhaustion. For Bills and Receipts For the woman who hoards receipts there are bill or receipt books covered with cretonne in so many designs that one can match almost any room. These bill books open and shut like an accordion, and the cover and flaps are also of cretonne. Not the Worst Investment For the worst investment.

Linen Weaving In Bohamla One of the oldest and most important industries of northern Bohemia is that of linen weaving, which furnishes employment under favorable conditions to fully 25,000 people who are so skilled and clever in the production of fine linens that these goods are favorably known and find a ready market in all parts of the world. Accomplished, Anyway. Caller—"Is your daughter an equestrian?" Proud Mother—"Either that or valedictorian. These class offices are so confusing, don't you know." The Flecking Habit While man has been defined as a gregarious animal, Americans seem to have the flocking habit more strongly developed than any other people. When there is no public attraction to draw multitudes there are private gatherings. This tendency has done much to destroy the home circle as it was once known—St. Louis Globe Democrat. THE CHICAGO DEKENDER THE COMING OF THE STORM. The storm came recently to many of the readers of this paper who had their savings in certain Chicago banks which have failed. Since these banks failed the word "safety" has become the cry of all banking institutions. It is to be wondered why so many continue to put their earnings into a bank and draw the small rate of 3 per cent interest when this same money invested in good real estate would draw a much larger rate of interest, and you would be guardian of your own funds. It is also to be wondered why so many continue to throw away their money on high rents when this same money could be applied on the purchase of a home or a two-apartment building, thereby insuring free rent for old age. The storm will certainly come to you if you continue to squander your money for high rents and do not start to buy a home. Why not take time by the forelock and start today? Chicago's largest real estate operators are now offering special inducements for the next few days in Chicago improved property. See Bartlett's ad on the last page of this issue. LOOK AFTER THE BOYS. The hordes of noisy boys filling the streets are a disgrace. Impudent and oftimes real bad boys, crowding the street corners, annoying pedestrians and hucksters, should not be allowed. Where are the parents of these boys, whose idleness will ventually lead them to the pen? Would it not be better to hire these young men(?) out during the summer school vacation, even if the pay is small? Two and three dollars honestly earned each week will help buy shoes and stockings, if nothing more, and future trouble for both parent and child would be avoided. Have you been annoyed by these gangs of uncouth youngsters and have you thought of the matter in this light? The aid of the police is not advocated in case, as the parents can remedy the matter if they will. THE FOURTH AT BENTON HARBOR. (Special to the Chicago Defender.)

In a few well-chosen words Grand Master Butler presented the speaker to the audience. Dr. Manning delivered a well-prepared sermon, in which he gave much useful information concerning the history and works of the craft. The sermon was forceful, instructive and in many instances very interesting, and it made a lasting impression upon those who heard him. The main auditorium was well filled with Masons, but there were not as many citizens present as was expected. TACOMA. WASH Tacoma, Wash., July 10.—Rev. H. M. Collins, pastor of Allen A. M. E.

Mail all Vote [ONE VOTE] Chicago Chicago RACE WOMENTAKE EXAMINATION FOR POLICE FORCE In Response to the Chicago Defender's Long Appeal, Seven Afro-American Women Take Mental, Physical and Efficiency Tests for Appointment on Chief Gleason's Special Detail. Ever since women were suggested as a valuable aid to the police department and later when the idea assumed tangible form and a few were appointed as an experiment the Chicago Defender has asked the women of the race to take the examination and qualify for appointment, believing what women of other nationalities could do they could do. Still later, when the women on trial made good and others were appointed and the policewoman became a permanent part of the department, the Chicago Defender still pleaded with: the Afro-American women to become a part of the city's peace force. Foreign Woman Passes. Careful inquiry showed that no member of the race had even evinced a desire to secure this well paying position. About this time publicity was given to a case of a foreign woman who had taken the examination but was disqualified for the position when it was learned that she had failed to take out her citizenship papers. Another strong appeal to the women of the race to get busy and take the examination was made through the columns of this newspaper. It was pointed out that if a foreign woman, unfamiliar with the city and its government, could pass the examination, how much greater were their chances, having been born and raised here? Race Women Wake Up. This argument seemingly had the effect, for on Thursday of this week seven Afro-American women took the IN CASE OF A TIE In case of a tie or, in other words, if two or more contestants receive the same number of votes, a duplicate prize will be awarded to those tying or the cash value of the prize will be equally divided between those tying.

Those taking the examination were Mrs. Ethel Johnson, Mrs. Merriweather, Mrs. Grace Wilson, Miss Cassie Fuye, Mrs. Anna M. Fits, Mrs. Daisy Mecks, Mrs. Corinne Wilson. Mrs. Johnson was the first to make application and Mrs. Corinne Wilson the second. Officials Pleased. The splendid record made by the men of the race in the various grades of the department—one being a lieutenant—is the talk of the entire world. Why shouldn't the women do the same thing? The Chicago Defender believes so. The officials in charge of the examinations also believe so, for in handing out the papers one official declared that it was a pleasure to him to see the women of the race make the effort, and his only surprise was that they had not taken the examination before. LAWN FETE AND BAZAAR FOR UPLIFT ASSOCIATION Twelve social and civil organizations have now combined forces to hold a large lawn festival and bazaar on August 13 for the benefit of the local work of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

HARRY BAGER THE GENEROUS Proprietor of the Chateau Has Ex- hausted List for Souvenirs and Has Now Started in on Packs Generosity, thy name is Harry Bager. The genial proprietor of the Chateau Gardens, it is said, has given away everything as souvenirs, from a toothpick to a steamship. His list was exhausted more than a week ago, and "mine host," at his wit's end, Saturday night started in to give away to his favorite patrons choice bits of park land. The first person he selected as an object of his generosity was a Chicago Defender Reporter. To him he gave Douglas Park, but when the scrub attempted to pick some flowers the next morning he was driven off by a policeman. Tonight Mr. Bager proposed to dispose of that bright spot directly opposite the Chateau, including the fountain, and to the next patron the athletic field opposite Armour Institute. The Chicago Defender, however, would like to advise the lucky patrons to use caution in taking possession of their gifts, or they may suffer a harder fate than the reporter. JOHN J. MILES RETIRES. Man Honorably Known to Thousands Resigns Post at Jefferson Hotel. (Special to the Chicago Defender.) Pearla, Ill., July 10.—The following article in the Evening Star is a splendid didtribute to a worthy man, and from start to finish the most creditable piece appearing in a daily newspaper in many days. The reader will note with pleasure that no racial term is to be found in the entire article: "John J. Miles, for the past two years head waiter at the Jefferson Hotel and one of the oldest, best known and most eminent men in his profession, has resigned his duties at the Jefferson Hotel and will retire perma- nently from active life. "That he has earned an honorable retirement and deserves to spend his remaining years in comfort, ease and happiness is attested to by all with whom he has come in contact during his many years of service in leading hotels of the country. "Probably no man in the Middle West has a wider acquaintance with the travelling public, and the record he has made is a fine one in every sense Mme. Minnie Adams, Noted Singer and Who Died in Nashv of the word. He has been connected with many of the leading hotels in the West; was twelve years with a big house in Milwaukee, and served equally long terms with other large hostelries. Since taking charge of the dining rooms at the Jefferson Hotel he has discharged his duties with such courtesy, efficiency and tact as to command general admiration and respect, investing his office with real dignity and distinction. He is going to Chicago, where his family resides, and it is pleasant to know that he retires on a competency insured by long years of loyal and honorable service. He will be followed by the good wishes of the entire community."

MINNIE ADAMS DIES SUDDENLY IN NASHVILLE Noted Singer and Teacher a Former Resident of This City and Dramatic Critic for the Chicago Defender, Passes Away While on a Southern Concert Tour. The Chicago Defender had gone to press Thursday last when word was received of the death of Mme. Minnie Adams in Nashville, Tenn., on June 22. This sad intelligence came from Detroit, Mch., in a letter from her grief-stricken husband, Mr. S. Adams. The deceased formerly lived in Detroit, and died suddenly, while on a concert tour through the South. Renowned as Singer. Mme. Adams was well known in Chicago, having lived here several years, winning renown as a singer and fame as a teacher. It was in the early part of her residence in this city that she engaged in teaching, the latter part having been devoted to concert work. It was as a soloist that she first attracted the attention of the Chicago Defender, and soon after she joined its staff as musical and dramatic critic, a position she filled with credit. In Newspaper Work. Music was not her only gift. She was a woman possessing a splendid education, well read, and a decided literary turn. She liked newspaper work and did several special feature stories for the Chicago Defender. In newspaper parlance she had a "nose for news," could develop a good story and tell it interestingly. It was Minkle Adams who wrote those human interest stories depicting the snares that surround the boys and girls, young men and young women in Chicago, and reminding the parents of their duty in setting good examples for their offspring. One of the most brilliant Former Chicago Newspaper Woman, Ville, Tenn., June 22. of her stories was entitled "Am I My Brother's Keeper?" Her remains are temporarily interred in Nashville, but wherever their final resting place, "Peace to her ashes" is the fervent hope of her many Chicago friends and her former associates on the Chicago Defender. THE APPOMATTO FASHION PLATÉ. Tuesday night while the members of the Appomattox were lazily sitting around in their lounging room in walked Mr. James Maurice Woodard, 4828 Federal street, with a brand new Dunlop straw, which he pulled off and laid on the table right side up; took off his gray silk gloves, laid them beside his hat; took a seat in a double-deck chair, and, pulling up his pants, he displayed a beautiful pair of lavender socks. The men upon seeing this display of hosiery became confused and made him treat the house. His real red tie spoke of its presence in human-like tones. His steel-gray suit added more luster to the affair. When asked what it all meant he told them he was celebrating his (2) birthday. Whereupon the boys made him treat the entire house, including the door man, chef and house man. After having had a delightful evening Mrs. Woodard called in a taxi about 11 o'clock and took her husband home. The boys are yet talking of Jim and the way he treated them. Mr. Woodard is a large property owner, a club man, and is one of the veterans of the Odd Fellows. He has also reached the pension limit for the company for which he works, having started in when he was 19. He says he is 49. He looks like he was 39 years old. HORACE McDOUGAL GOLFER In the recent Western Interscholastic Golf Tournament, held at Ravisloe Country Club, Homewood, Ill., last week. Horace McDougal, the young Afro-American golfer from Calumet High School, was runner-up in the second flight. On Thursday, July 2, he was defeated by a Hyde Park boy on account of the lateness with which he arrived at the club. However, as it was his first tournament, the race was well represented by him, he being the only golfer entered. Rodgers' Newsy Letter of Events in Interest During the Week in Springfield.

The women of the church willingly took up the task and all day they were in evidence on the principal South Side streets. Being a holiday, the streets were crowded, and, being carefree, the average citizen was unusually generous. The total amount collected could not be learned. THE MURRAYS AND THEIR TWO FLAGS.

A very prominent club woman, in speaking a few days ago, attributed it to the exodus of many of the elder folk and the unusual number of marriages among the younger set to non-residents, who take their better halves to other climes. But those who are here should organize in some way to relieve the monotony. Mrs. G. C. Clay was a visitor to the city on the 29th. Mrs. W. C. Chavious has returned from Edemore, Mille, where she has been visiting her brother who is convalescing rapidly after his recent illness. Mrs. Vallette Ash is one of our most popular and beautiful young women. Mrs. Ash was born and reared in South Bend, attended the public school here and was one of the few Afro-American scholars to receive the commendation of press and public as the most promising pupil in South Bend. Although Mrs. Ash is a mother, she is quite young, being well under twenty-five. She is a very dutiful wife, a prominent club woman, and a very pleasant conversationalist. Mr. and Mrs. John W. Spikes, of Los Angeles, Cal., were visitors to South Bend on the 4th, the guests of Mr. W. II. Gordon, 402 South Main street. Mr. and Mrs. Spikes will visit Goshen, Ind., before returning west. Three cheers for the Eliott Giants; also for the A. B. C.'s, Hats off to Mr. A. L. Childs. Many thanks, to Mr. Henry H. Hill. The first because of their great baseball team. Being hand-capped from lack of practice, postponement of many scheduled games and without conditioned pitchers they went into the game confident of victory, and through the masterful coaching of Manager Childs, played the A. B. C.'s off their feet. Coming from behind in both contests the Eliott Giants defeated one of the best semi-pro baseball teams in the country, the A. B. C.'s playing being characteristic of what they have been giving the public all season—a run for their money—and although they died fighting hard the E. G.'s were stronger than antifated. Mr. Boswell, manager of the A. B. C.'s, should feel proud of his team, as over-confidence is the real cause of their defeat. Mr. Hill, whose zealous efforts in offering a purse for these games deserved the well-merited patronage accorded the manager by the public. --- A lesson was taught those who attended the game Sunday between the two crack colored teams, the A. B. C's and E. G. Out of the 1,500 fans that attended one-third were white despite the fact the local S. M. League team was here, which goes to show it makes no matter about your skin. It's what you are and how you conduct yourself. As much applause came from them as if one of their own teams were playing. We, the Afro-Americans of S. B., extend thanks to both. Say, what's the matter with the S. M. street belle. She was not out to the game Sunday? Mrs. Ell Stewart and Mrs. Robert entertained at a thimble party on her evening at the beautiful and exquisite home of the former on Carroll street. One of the most delightful times in the realm of South Bend Society was enjoyed. Many topics of interest we discussed, the principal discussion being Domestic Science, Sex Hygiene and the Moral Uplifting of Unfortunately Afro-Americans. Mesdames Stewa. and Roberts are to be commended for the excellent manner in which the received their guests. The O. E. S. Excursion across the desert numbered among its passenger Mesdames Lowe, Milan, Ash and Dosey, whose feet were scorched a little to the merriment and enjoyment of that noble chapter. Mr. C. A. Franjler, D. D., the bo preacher, will speak at Zion Baptist Church Sunday morning at 11 a. m. Everybody is invited. No one should miss this opportunity to hear the young man. Don't forget next week.

THE CLOTEE SCOTT SETTLEMENT Baby Helen Henderson, 5624 Lake Park avenue, is decidedly the most popular baby in Hyde Park, according to the number of votes registered at the Clottee Scott Settlement July 4. As a proof, little Helen carried away the prize of $5 to start a bank account. Little Alberta Crawford, 4525 Evans avenue, a sweet baby of four or five months, was the happy recipient of the second prize, a beautiful baby silver set. Leroy Brooks, Jr., 14 months, the handsome son of Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Brooks, living at 5219 Lake Park avenue, received the third prize, a useful little baby plate, and also carried the beauty prize, a pretty little dress made by one of the girls of the club. It was through the decision of the five judges that Leroy was declared the most beautiful baby in Hyde Park, but the popular opinion of the audience, who afterwards spoke to the managers, is that May Tribute, the beautiful baby girl of three months of Mr. and Mrs. John Tribute, 5338 Kenwood avenue, is the prettiest baby in Hyde Park. Little May Tribute received a fourth prize, a china set, though only three prizes were offered. Miss Rena Love won the chair, Miss Fanny Lacey the cut glass dish. The real motive for this fair and baby show was to stir up and create interest among the residents of this pretty suburb. A real desire exists to arouse community interest and race pride. We are proud to say that the very best citizens living in Hyde Park came to hear the fine program furnished on the evening of July 3 by Mrs. Martha B. Anderson and Mr. T. Theodore Taylor. We beg to thank everyone who contributed in any way to make this affair a success. We also desire to keep the interest up to fever heat. Mr. N. D.

The Progressive Negro League met at 3811 Wabash avenue on Sunday afternoon, July 5, and had a large attendance. Many visitors were present, among whom were Hon. S. B. Turner, Mr. Marshall, Hon. R. O. Lee and Hon. J. E. Northup. Mr. Turner presented an interesting program, composed of Mr. Marshall, Mr. S. B. Turner and the Hon. J. E. Northup. Hon. J. E. Northup was very much impressed with the work of the organization and spoke very highly of its aim and object, as set forth in the constitution. Mr. and Mrs. Ell Stoner, members of the League, are the happy parents of a fine girl who comes to swell the ranks of the Progressive Negro League. Rev. E. P. Robinson, the president, has sent out a call for every young man and woman who would like to co-operate with this great work of elevating and encouraging our people to be present at our next meeting, Sunday, July 12, at 4 o'clock.

The Rajahs, styled telepathy artists and mentalists on the reader, opened the bill last half of last week, and their work was of a high order, being the best mind reading act seen here this season. Downz and Gomez, in high class vocal solos and duets pleased, the operatic selections deserving special mention. The Cleora Miller trio, prima donna and instrumentalists, rendered several good numbers on various instruments, but the prima donna was punk, very much screech owl. Rice Bros, German comedians, will have to try again, but not on me if I see them first. "Spooks," a new idea in cartoon acts, by the Whipple & Huston Company, was good and sent everybody home happy. First half this week Le Roy and Mora, in a comedy bar act, scored, and were followed by Scanlon and Press, a good team of whirlwind dancers. The Eula Lee Female Quartette are very classy, and rendered their numbers in the most approved style. George and Mac were good in a Ward and Vokes act, and the bill closed with Jenette's four performing elephants, which proved to be the best trained bunch of insects seen here since the days of the late lamented Eph Thompson. Taken up one side and down the other, the bill here is a good one. The elephants will remain over Sunday. Don't fall to see them. OLD MONOGRAM. Peat and Hayes open the bill here this week, and furnished nothing new. They were followed by Curley Ross, one of Klein's white hopes, in an Irish song and dance that pleased Miller, the only white man in the house, very much. Brown and Pinkey were firn, and Tim and Hester Moore did well. The one-man band is still on the job at this house. Harry Jenkins was transferred from the 35th street house, and adds greatly to the beauty of the interior. Oof! THE PHOENIX The attendance here is right up to the standard, and the new orchestra, under the leadership of J. Paul Wyer, is good, considering the weak pianist. This aggregation's work should not be hampered by the handlecap of a poor pianist, as the balance of the musicians have demonstrated their ability to make good. No chain is any stronger than its weakest link. Among the features shown here during the week were in the Lion's Paw, The Convent Gate, The Frontier Mother, In the Claws of the Leopard, and The Hand of Horror. For Sunday, The Sea Wolf, in seven parts, has been booked. THE LINCOLN This handsome house has a large attendance daily during the week, and among the multi-reel offerings were In the Bishop's Carriage, A Law Unto Himself, The Price of Treachery, Lucille Love No. 8, Search for the Castaways, Million Dollar Mystery No. 1, Across the Atlantic, and others. Sunday brings Mary Pickford in Hearts Adrift, in four reels, The Mask of Affliction, and a sterling comedy, Schlitz Joins the Force. THE STATES. "The Million Dollar Mystery" No. 2 turned them away Monday and was followed by the following during the week, all of which drew big houses: Cecilia Loftus in "A Lady of Quality," "Pierce of the Plains," "The Knockout," a two-reel Keystone comedy; Leah Kleshna and Arnold Daly in "The Port of Missing Men." By special arrangement the great production, "The Lights of London," will be shown here Sunday. NEW MONOGRAM. Magdalene Tart, a vocalist without a voice, or anything else that would qualify a stage appearance, managed to last one night before Klein tied the can to her. She was replaced by Leona Marshall, who is the class. Dyke Thomas of Sapiro and Thomas, in a good monologue, scored, as did Gant and Perkins, and the familiar come-back team of Buster and Rockpile. Next week comes Thomas and Cross. THE WASHINGTON Kaplan announces that he has booked "The Spoilers," which just closed at the Studebaker, for early next month. The attendance Saturday and Sunday broke all records, "The Grand Lodge, Grand Court of Calanthe and 1st State Encampment Uniform Rank Knights of Pythias July 12 to 17, 1914 EVANSTON, ILL.

The offerings here Sunday will be "The Candidate for Mayor" and "The Fringe on the Glove." ON AND OFF THE STROLL By Columbus Bragg. Arbiters of taste who set forth on expeditions of pleasure to that detectable resort, the Ellwood Cafe, the select Thursday evening cabaret performances and night entertainment, are above the average. It is true a certain enchantment of public enjoyment is brought about by the variety that is to be obtained by observing Miss Mabel Burrell, the sweet, tantalizing singer. She is ably assisted by the traps of the popular trap drummer, Mr. Chas, Gilliam, the premier trap drummer of bell, chimes and xylophone soloist. He desires a call from his many friends. He plays like six drummers. Mr. Ollie Powers is manager at this fashionable resort. Miss Anna Cooksey, the popular hostess, such a tantalizing dream, has just returned from a vacation trip to 110 Springs, Ark. Of course she took the baths, when the South's superb hospitality did not have her en tour through the mountains' paths or banqueting at some swell party given in her favor, she is so beautiful and a superb form, until she looks like a Parisian model. She should return to the fold of the profession, just simply a sweet masterpiece. Mr. Chas. Mahone, the popular barytone, said in old Chi. He could not leave the Stroll. Madame Elja E. Watkins, the popular mortician of the North Side, was a delegate to the convention. Of course The Defender reporter saw her first. May she call often to the South Side to meet the live ones! But alas! the dead ones. Madame Rosa Lee Tyler, the colorture singer of note, sprained her left ankle Sunday at her popular palm rooms and ice cream parlor, waiting on her many friends. Still she made the rehearsal for "The Ahjah," the great Ethiopic classic play. She is a hard worker. As Prof. Dorsey says, it is the most different music that he ever played. Some music. Miss Lottie Merry, the fascinating dream brown-skinned girl at the Elenco Cafe, in her little idylis of youth and joy that issue out makes her audience blissfully happy and content. She is assisted by that beautiful doll-faced girl, real inspiration in itself, but sings pleasing to the ear. Those kiddies are so clever. Miss Esmeralda Statham did a sweet recitation at the popular Plaza Cafe, ravishingly performed. Her work evoked the enthusiasm which was due to the qualities of beauty that lay within, and to the quality of art that was applied to her interpretation. She has all mechanical doll-head elocutionists tied to a post. That's all. She was assisted by Miss Rebecca Allen, the nymph. The X. L. Tailors have been engaged to make all the Nubian soldiers' costumes for "The Ahjah," so call at the number, 6 East 33d street, and let him fit you, as the popular tailor will be very busy for two weeks, as one hundred suits have been ordered by the management of "The Ahjah." So call, all members of this company, and save delay. Miss Ruth Belmont of the Chateau Gardens gives no little enjoyment of a harmless nature to the fashionable clientele that visit this place, with a personality and charm. Ah; those eyes would do for an enchantress, so very pretty. A sweet masterpiece, that girl. The famous resort, Elite Cafe, has put the famous contradiction to the camel that can go two weeks without a drink to the winds, when those dainty, temptuous, dreamy-eyed girls, Miss Johnstone and Lillian, do a ditty entitled "I Could Go Dry Forever, if You Give Me Your Love, Boys." Say, some songs—eight encores are a-plenty for anyone. Audience should not overwork those sweet girls, but they do. Mr. Lovery Joe, the popular manager of the Elite Cafe, I think, is cruel to overwork those sweet girls like that, just to please his distinct clientele. All right, Joe. RUSKER A DARK KNIGHT. Mr. Henderson Smith, it is reported on the Stroll, will star John Rusker in "The Ten Dark Knights" at an early date. Taploca Glue. An excellent glue that is harmless, colorless and odorless is made of taploca. Cover the desired quantity with cold water, put it over the fire and stir, adding more water as it bolts to make a good paste. It can be used to glue wood, leather or paper. For scrapbooks or photographs it may be necessary to add a little water. Youth's Hardest Task. "The training of children is a confessedly difficult task," says an editorial writer. No more difficult than the training of parents. Many children find the task of conquering the prejudices and old-fashioned ideas of father and mother almost hopeless.—Toledo Blade. Accounting for the Absence Bacon—"I see what most attracted the attention of a party of distinguished Europeans on an American tour was the absence of fences and hedges." Egbert—"They might have reached a locality in the West recently visited by a cyclone." One Redeeming Feature The fool men have a lot of faults. But bless their hearts, they don't kiss each other when they meet on the street.—Cincinnati Enquirer. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER After All. Most of the things that people think are matters of great moment aren't. Now is the Time to Buy REAL ESTATE The Chicago Defender highly polished and lifetime if proper Manufacturer AGENTS WANTED EVERYWHERE C. T. N. EGGLESTON WAS FIVE PERSONS IN ONE Most Famous Multiple Being Would Seem to Have Been "Miss Beau-champ" of England. Rare cases of true multiple personality are known to have 'occurred and are of extraordinary interest. The most famous is that of "Miss Beau-champ"—the real name has always most properly been withheld—which was carefully studied by Dr. Morton Prince. By intricate steps he arrived at the conviction that in her case no fewer than five distinct personalities could be traced. The most vivid of all was the one who called herself "Sally." The normal Miss Beauchamp was a somewhat neurotic woman, the constant prey of slight alliments, and without much zeat in life. After a nervous shock "Sally" suddenly became able to take possession of her from time to time, at first with apparent difficulty, and then, as it seemed, whenever she pleased. When "Sally" was dominant Miss Beauchamp's whole nature changed. She became lively, irresponsible, fond of all the violent exercises which the normal woman disliked, exuberantly healthy and different from Miss Beauchamp in every respect. She could not explain herself, but protested that she had "always been here," but could not get control, and one of the most wonderful and best attested facts in this mysterious case is that she confidently asserted her memory of events which occurred when the real Miss Beauchamp was in her cradle. For Miss Beauchamp, the co-tenant with her of the same body, "Sally" had the most intense dislike, never speaking of her except with contempt, and doing all she could to cause her harm and annoyance. Miss Beauchamp had a special horror of insects and reptiles and "Sally" was accustomed to gratify her spite by collecting frogs, toads and spiders and dispatching them to what the inadequacy of language compels us to call herself. Mis Beauchamp detested walking, so "Sally," when she was dominant, would go for a long tramp, after carefully leaving all her money behind, and then, when she was ten miles or more from home, would suddenly disappear, and, allowing the original Miss Beauchamp to resume control, leave the unfortunate woman to make her way back as best she could.—London Globe, Sufficient Explanation Senator William J. Stone of Missouri smiled the other evening when reference was made to the appointment of postmasters. He said he was reminded of an incident of that character. Some time ago a salesman happened in a small back-country town and was surprised at the warmth of the fight over the local post office appointment. "Look here, Jake," remarked the wondering salesman to an acquaintance, "the whole town seems to be wildly excited over this post office business. It isn't a job that pays much money, is it?" "No," answered Jake, "it don't pay hardly any money at all." "Well, if that's the case then," returned the salesman, "why is it that everybody takes such a great interests in the thing?" "It's jist this way, pard," explained the native. "Most of us are particular who reads our postal cards."—Philadelphia Telegraph. Ultra-Violet Raya Kill Germs Naglaa Falls will have the first municipal ultra-violet ray sterilization plant in this country, says the Engineering Record. Contract negotiations were consummated June 5 for a 35-lamp installation. Mercury vapor lamps, protruding into channels through which water will flow, are to be used. The ultra-violet rays from these lamps have the power to kill the bacteria in the water. There will be seven lamps in each of five concrete canals, although it is estimated that 25 lamps only will be required to handle the capacity of the plant, 18,000,000 gallons daily. The cost of the canals and lamp installations will be $19,800, while the city will erect a building and transformers to change the current from alternating to direct, at a cost of $2,200. Tags for the Children Now that warm weather is coming and the little children are outdoors so much it is well for mothers to put a tag around each child's neck with full name and address, then if the little one wanders away from home anyone seeing the tag will know where he belongs. When the children return home from school and complain of hunger, as the average school child does, have prepared on the back of the stove some warm drink, either a cereal or some soup or hot milk, and let each have a supply. A warm drink is much more nourishing than bread and butter and does not spoil their evening meal as a heavy luncheon often does. The Flocking Habit While man has been defined as a gregarious animal, Americans seem to have the flocking habit more strongly developed than any other people. When there is no public attraction to draw multitudes there are private gatherings. This tendency has done much to destroy the home circle as it was once known—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

A powder made from the leaves of water illies is successful in making various fabrics waterproof. The inventor of the powder noticing that water was not absorbed when it fell on the leaves, but silt off, conceived the idea that the same substance which made the lily leaf waterproof might be used in connection with fabrics. The powder from the leaves is mixed with water, and the process consists in immersing the fabric in this mixture. The Difference. Billy (who is putting in a long Sunday afternoon)—"Let's play auto with the chairs, mummy, and you take a ride with me!" Mother (with an eye to the uplift)—"I guess not, dear; I really don't approve of pleasure rides on Sunday." Billy (after a moment of earnest thought)—"But this isn't a pleasure ride. We'll play I'm taking you to see a moving picture show of scenes from the Bible."—Life. Couldn't Stump Barney. Barney Phelan, Father Healy's servant, was celebrated for his ready wilt.

Logan came to Chicago four weeks ago from Sloux Falls, S. D., in charge of a trained nurse and was taken to St. Luke's Hospital, where she underwent a serious operation by Dr. Daniel H. Williams. She is recovering and will make her home in Chicago. A. L. McBRIDE MISSING. When last seen he was standing at the docks near the Rush street bridge. Upon being questioned by a Defender reporter, he said he was waiting for David Manson, W. R. Cowan and several others who were to meet him to spend the week end at Benton Harbor. Daily Thought. There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better or worse, as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toll bestowed on that plot of ground which is given him to till. Trust myself; every heart vibrates to that iron string.—R. W. Emerson. Owing to the fact that the earth has an atmosphere, daylight does not disappear whenever the sun sinks below the horizon. The rays of the sun still strike the upper regions of our atmosphere, and thus we have twillight and the gradual darkening of the sky and disappearance of daylight.

ONE OF TILE HARDEST TLUNGS UN LIFE for the aver- age young man or woman who has just completed their schooling is to decide what they shall take up as their life work. They are as one tossed in mid-acean, to every shore the distance is the same. Just when they think their work is completed it has begun and begun in earnest. for though the world owes every man 2 living, it is not handed to him on a silver salver. Te myst work with both brain and hand, and the more of the former he is in possession of the less of the latter he has to do. Father and mother usually have planned years ago just what work is best fitted for their boy or girl, but years change many things and their calcula- tions often go amiss. The minister's son decided he wants to be an actor instead of a lawyer, as his parents had wished. The girl spends the better part of her life in school then possibly runs off with a chauffeur and leaves the son of the wealthy friend who has loved her since childhood in the lurch, These are the vagaries of life; we can propose but others often dispose. Then there is the obedient son or daughter who follow their parents’ wishes, cither in marriage or in a vocation. How many are successful? Very few. because they are entering into a compact not of their own making, therefore seldom agreeable. And when the heart and soul is not in the work before you there is but one result— failure. Tt is all well enough for parents to guide the child during the impressionable age; looking through their older experienced eyes they can sve the snares and pitfalls, and the child has the benefit of their experience. If in the matter of planning for the future the child follows the parents’ bend all well and good, but if they are inclined to have ideas of their own and strength enough to carry them out, success is assured even if they select the hum- blest of life's callings. The vocational training given nowadays in our public schools is doing much to guide the youthful mind in the way it should go. What was good for our fathers and mothers isn’t necessarily good for us; times and conditions have changed. The way we are bent this shall we go. And after all, if the early training is what it should be parents need have no fear of what the future for their son or daughter holds. DARBLING IN POLITICS. SO FEW CRUMBS FALL FROM THE POLITICAL. table for our people that when one is in sight there is a scramble com- parable only ta a pack of wolves tearing to pieces some unfor- tunate beast, that they might live. Mud throwing is a mild way of describing to what lengths some unserupulous politicians will go to gain a point. No man runs the gauntlet without coming out at least slightly singed. If you wish to hear the past of any man, Jet him run for office and the family skeleton will stalk out into the light and things true and imaginary will have an airing such as only men oi this calibre can give. Men who really stand for something in a community seldom are found secking an office, the office seeks them; not that they are afraid of their record but he- cause they detest the associations they are naturally forced into. Recently the Republicans, in making up their slate for county commissioners, thought it to their interest to put a race man on the ticket. The usual war horses appeared on the scene and pre- sented their claims with more or less backing from their gang— and the word “gang” is used advisedly—but to their surprise and consternation the committee gave them to understand that a clean man, one who had a record that could not be assailed, was to be chosen. Several prominent men in the Third ward were eligible, but powerful influences were brought to bear to take the plum from this ward. So the committee tendered the place to Col. Franklin A. Dennison, a man who beyond a shadow of a doubt will do credit to the race he represents. If we could just learn Jike other races that it is to our advantage to force a member of the race into every available position, then give him our backing and encouragement we would be farther along in the scale of life than we are. We are like the Irishman who would rather work for a dollar a day tearing down a Protestant church than to get five dollars a day building a court house. We cannot all be on top but we can work with that end in view, and it is high time we were doing more constructive and less destructive work. ~ JUDGE ROBERT McMURDY OUR FRIEND. THE MAN WHO IS DOING THE MOST EFFECTIVE WORK along any given line is seldom heralded by the blowing of trumpets or the beating of drums, yct his passing leaves an indel- ible impression on all who have come under his spell. To be quict and unobtrusive yet forceful and magnetic; to be deliberate, cool and exacting yet kind, considerate and just; to hold the autocrat at arm’s length yet stoop to aid the beggar in the street is a gift, is a blessing that comes to but few of us in this world. Such z character do we find in Robert McMurdy, president of the Illinois State Bar Association, judge of the Court of Claims and author of “THE UPAS TREE," a book that has found its way into the hearts and libraries of thousands throughout this broad land. To ‘say that he is our friend and close would mean much, and yet we feel that too little is known of this friend who is devoting so much ‘of his time, money and energy for the uplift of our race; his innate ‘modesty kept him ever in the background. Many boys and girls owe their schooling, owe their start in life to his generosity. His hand is felt in the making of just laws in this state for citizens of every nationality. His voice is ever raised against the demon prejudice and his services are always at the command of the so- called under dog. Recently he addressed the Illinois State Bar Association, taking as his subject “The Enforcement of Law.” So earnest, forceinl and convincing was his plea for justice for the Afro-American that the association’ adopted the following resolutions : : WHEREAS, The president of the Illinois State Bar Associa- tion in his annual address has set forth in detail the evils of lynch- ing in this country. RESOLVED, Conformably to the suggestion made in such wldress. that we hereby petition the Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws to prepare a model law upon the subject. and that we hereby petition the American Bar Association to pro- mote the passage of such a law in the various states with the intent that our governors shall assume the solemn duty, of resolutely endeavoring to stamp out this plague; and RESOLVED, That this association commit itself to the pur- suit of this object as long as it shall be practicable; and RESOLVED, That the president appoint a committee of five to present this matter to said Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws, and to said American Bar Association, and further to do everything reasonably within their power to carry out the intent and purpose of these resolutions. To have men of such high calibre take a broad, noble stand for the rights of ten million down-trodden people shows the spirit of justice is assert- ing itself. And men like Judge Robert MeMurdy are the silver lining to our clouds of somber hue. INFLUENCE OF THE SOUTH. WERE IT NOT FOR THE SOUTH, President Wilson would make a far better chief executive than he now does, He is not per- mitted to think or act contrary to their views and wishes: if he does it is his political knell, Without the South the Democratic party is lost and self-preservation is the first law of nature. Re- cently when a delegation of women called upon him secking his views on the suffrage question he was inclined to look upon the movement favorably and lend it what aid he could. This on the spur of the moment. But the South rose before his eyes like a horrid nightmare, and he veered, got non-committal and finally closed tip like a clam. The South is unalterably opposed to giving women the ballot; in fact, they are opposed to millions of citizens having the ballot for fear they will lose their political supremacy. It would seem they are opposed to anything in the line of advanc- ment: their boasted solidarity is an admission of ignorance, for wise men change. President Wilson is earnestly advocating the abolishment of the imaginary Mason and Dixon line and infers that the two sections are united. have forgotten their little un- pleasantness and can meet each other on brotherly terms. A beau- tiful phantom picture truly. The South is farther away from the North today than it was ten years ago. There is no half way ground; the only thing that will eliminate this “line” is for the North unqualifiedly to come into the camp of the South, and if the President sees any change for the better he can attribute it to just this sort of thing. We are heartily in favor of the women taking a hand in our politics, both local and national, for if there is such a thing we are more apt to have clean politics when they have a voice in the making of the candidates. | THE FAIR SEX AT THE BALL PARK. CHICAGO GENERALLY LEADS ALL CITIES in Amer- ica in producing foremost men in the world of business, letters. professions and arts. and in athletics she boasts of her champions, crowned and uncrowned. Perhaps no Sport in America has a areater following than baseball, and of the many colored teams who sign up here the American Giants under “Rube” Foster's man- agement is ungnestionably the best. “Rube” Foster is to baseball in Jack Johnson is to the pugilistic world and as a manager and player has few equals in the major leagues. Sport_to be good sport must be clean sport, and umpires upon whose decisions and | fairness rests much of the enjoyment of the game should sce to it ‘that the patrons are pleased with their work as well as their em- ployers, The thousands of ladies who attend the games should be given every courtesy, and complaint has been generally made that | their costumes have been soiled by unclean seats. It isn’t such a ‘great task to turn the hose on the seats two or three hours before ‘each game, so the ladies may attend without having to send their dresses to the cleaners after each game. There is no doubt that it is simply an oversight on the part of the management and will immediately be remedied, * THE PEOPLE’S ANTIPATHY. THE AMERICAN GIANTS would do well to consider the spirit of the times and stop so much squabbling at their games. Last Sunday's affair was a disgrace beyond a reasonable doubt; that kind of ball playing is all right for the South, but here where white and colored men and-women come to sce a refined game they don’t want to sce a melee. Think of it! A game of ball which should be played in an hour and a half takes from two and one-half to three hours. The people want a faster and more clean game than they have ‘been getting this season. If they don’t get it they will not support it any further; and if the umpire can’t do better than he has done in the series of games with the Cubans we should have men from some one of our Southern colleges who look at the sport in a scientific way and not from a bully’s stand- point. ONE MILLION THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND foreign- ers came to the United States to make their homes during the past year.

What has become of the West Mich- igan resort, so beautiful, so near and accessible, so useful and so necessary to a certain class of our urban popu: lation? In vain we have looked and waited—in fact we have been on the tiptoe of expectancy of receiving the good news that this popular resort had opened for the season of 1914, as {t brought so much health and com- fort to many of the citizens of Chi- cago. What Is a Summer Resort? A summer resort should be a place where people may go to get rest; to store up energy for work when they return home. It is a place where there are plenty of sanitary food, healthful surroundings free from typhold fever, free from sickness, from disease—the place where one may go and get close to nature, to view the beauties of na- ture and get a larger vision of nature. Some summer resorts are so situated and furnished as to be an ideal spot to catch disease. Such resorts are surrounded by filth and fiies. Here it is Impossible for one to rest and re- cuperate. The morals and sanitary tone are not up to the standard. Many a rest seeker in such summer resorts has returned at the end of the vace- tion only to struggle with some dis- ease contracted during the vacation. Somebody is to blame for this, and it is not always the rest seeker’s fault. It may be the fault of the proprietor. It may be the fault of the community or society at large for permitting such conditions to exist. Selection of a Healthy Summer Resort.
