He added that the question involved was not a question of intrinsic qualities, because all had human souls and were equal in that respect, but that for the present it was a question of economic policy whether the Afro-American race could do the same things that the white race could do with equal efficiency. He said he thought the Afro-American people were proving that they could, and that everyone wished to help them and that their conditions of labor bettered. The entire matter, however, should be treated with a recognition of his difficulties. The president said he was anxious to do what was just, and asked for more memoranda from the committee as to instances of segregation about which they complained. Did Not Come as Wards. Mr. Trotter said in his address that his committee did not come "as wards looking for charity, but as fullfledged American citizens, vouchsafed equality of citizenship by the federal constitution." "Two years ago," said Mr. Trotter, "you were thought to be a second Abraham Lincoln." The president tried to interrupt, asking that personalities be left out of the discussion. Mr. Trotter continued to speak and the president finally told him that he represented a person he represented wished to approach him to choose another spokesman. The president told Mr. Trotter that he was an American citizen as fully as anybody else, but that he (Trotter) was the only American citizen who had ever come into the white house and ad CUTTING AFFRAY IN FOREST AVE. POOL ROOM CUTTING AFFRAY IN FOREST AVE. POOL ROOM Notorious Place at N. W. Corner of 35th and Forest Avenue Disgrace to Quiet Neighborhood. Friday night last a boy was cut in a horrible manner in the pool room at the N. W. corner of 35th and Forest Avenue and the property owners and residents of that quiet residence district are up in arms for the removal of the place. The room is the plague spot of the neighborhood and the police should close it and for fear that someone else would rent it for the same purpose the city should tear it down. The completion of the 8th Regiment Armory will bring to that violinity nightly large numbers of Chicago's best young men and there must be no offenses spared on the part of the city authorities to rid the near corners of objectionable places. The property owners should form a vigilance committee and drive out the undesirables if the police can't do it. VOL. IX., NO. 47. (Special to the Chicago Defender.) (Washington, D. C., Nov. 20—Tuesday afternoon of last week President Wilson became indignant when William Monroe Trotter, editor of the Boston Guardian, as chairman of a committee of protest from the National Independence Equal Rights League against the segregation of the military government departments in Washington, phily told the nation's chief executive about it. Waits Two Years. The committee met the president by appointment, after waiting a year for a personal interview with him, Mr. Trotter was the spokesman, and in the fervor of his plea for equal rights for his people he forgot the servile manner and speech once characteristic of the Afro-American and he talked to the president as man to man, addressing the head of the government as any American citizen should, especially when discussing a serious question. The president did not like Mr. Trotter's role and told the committee that if it called on him again it would have to get a new chairman. The president added he had not been addressed in such a manner since he entered the white house. No Discrimination Intended. The delegation charged that Secretary McAdoo and Comptroller Williams in the treasury and Postmaster General Burleson had enforced segregation rules in their offices. The president replied that he had investigated the question and had been assured that the comforts and surroundings given to the Afro-American workers. He added that he had been informed by officials that the segregation had been started to avoid friction between the races and not with the object of injuring the Afro-American employees. The president said he was deeply interested in the race and greatly admired the people he sought to be sought by the Afro-American people was complete independence of white people, and that he felt the white race was willing to do everything possible to assist them. Seek Neither Charity Nor Aid. Mr. Trotter and other members at once took issue with the president, declaring the Afro-American people did not seek charity or assistance, but that they took the position that they had equal rights with whites and that those rights should be respected. They those there had been forced between the two races before segregation was begun. The president listened to what they had to say, and then told the delegation that Mr. Trotter was losing control of his temper, and that he (the president) would not discuss the matter further with him. The president is understood to have told the committee the question was not a political one, and that he would the delegation presented a resolution of the Massachusetts legislature and letters from several Massachusetts Democratic member of congress against race segregation in the government departments.

Will Probably Be in Charge of Government Display. (Special to the Chicago Defender.) Los Angeles, Cal., Nov. 20.—According to the displays that are being prepared by Afro-American people on the contrary there there will be numerous exhibitions in by them throughout the several branches of the Panama-Pacific exposition to open February 20, 1915. It is expected that the federal government will detail Henry E. Baker of Washington, D. C., to install in the patent division an exhibit illustrative of the achievement of the Afro-American in the field of invention. More than 1,500 patents on inventions of the highest degree of usefulness have thus far been granted to Afro-American people, the inventive ability of Afro-Americans having been exhibited as early as 1731, when the noted astronomer, Benjamin Banneker, constructed the first clock. California, according to statistics, has produced two recent inventors, C. R. Wiley and W. O. Warren, who conceived a device for controlling traction in railroad districts. The invention takes the appearance of a four-sided railway semaphore. It is electrically operated and divides the necessity of a policeman standing in the middle of the street. Instead he may stand on one of the corners, and by pressing a button sound the signal and change the signs.

"THE THANKS WE NIGG ON." Reporter Learns of Strange Title for *Thanksgiving Night Lecture* in *Call on W. Allison Sweeney*. A reporter for the Chicago Defender in search of some library records one night this week called upon W. Allison Sweeney, orator, journalist and philosopher, and for many years contribu- ting editor to this paper, "The Chief," as Mr. Sweeney is known to newspaperman, was deep in the piles and records, himself preparing a lecture which he termed "The Thanks We Nigg On." The lecture with the strange title, it was learned, was to be delivered the United Thanksgiving night before the United Church of the Third Baptist Church of IL, pastored by Rev. Alton H. Blake. Since Mr. Sweeney published "The Other Fellow's Burden" and "The Concerned Hell," he has received many letters of congratulations and invitation to speak in various cities, but in the many letters read, the reporter saw no mention of the matter of expenses. Evidently the writers thought that the incidents of travel even-by trolley or "L" not to mention steam cars, did not enter into the matter. The reporter tried to question the "sage of the press" about their views on the eye and said, "Never mind, young man." But how those folks expect Mr. Sweeney to travel still worries him.

WHY MANY SOLDIERS SCORN TO AVOID DANGER ,Fated to Die When Their Time Comes They See No Use In Any Endeavor to Evade the Summons of the Death Angel. Soldiers are often heard to say, "If I am going to be shot, I shall be shot." Wilberforce, an officer in the British army during the Indian mutiny, said that he never met but three men who carried into practice the adage. One of those men was a friend, who, on Wilberforce's arrival in front of Delhi, proposed a ride to show him the pickets, assuring him that the journey was suddenly heard the ping of a bullet, quickly followed by a second and a third. "Hello, what does this mean?" he asked. "Oh, it is only the rite rite pits; we are just on their line of fire," answered the friend. Instantly Wilberforce whipped up his steel and galloped into a safe place. Turning around, he saw that had dismounted and was picking up the rifle. Wilberforce had dropped. Having done that, slowly renounced and walked his horse into the place where Wilberforce was awaiting him. On another occasion a live shell came inside a siege battery and began burying itself in the ground. Everybody went down except this fatalist. "I dole down, you fool!" the men called out. Removing his cigar from his mouth, said the fatalist, "I am not going to put myself out for—" The explosion was interrupted by the explosion of the shell. A fragment of a piece of the standing man's trousers. He pointed to the torn portion as an illustration of the truth of the adage. The other man who lived up to this fatalist doctrine was seen by Wilberforce standing still to light a cigar in the middle of a street down which a heavy fire was pouring. Wilberforce, who was under shelter, called to him to come under cover. He looked up and said, "Often have I told you that if am to be shot I shall be shot whether I am where I am or under cover". Then, taking out another match, he finished the lighting process which his friend had interrupted. The third instance occurred at the Delhi bank on the day of the assault. Seated on the steps of the bank, between two men, was Witherforce's most intimate friend. The houses opposite were thickly lined with Sepoy rebels, who kept up a harassing fire, to which the three men were directly exposed. Witherforce called to them to join him under the shelter of a wall. The friend he instructed, I am to be shot, I shall be murdered. I am to be scorched but he spoken when his companions were killed. He himself was not touched, though seven bullets struck one companion and two the other. He called attention to the fact as a proof of the truth of his theory. A Catechism.

Exterminating Prairie Dogs Intermining Prairie Dogs. A correspondent in South Dakota writes the dog of the country the automobile has been a success as a prairie dog exterminator. A piece of hose slipped onto the exhaust conduits the gases into the dog hole for a few minutes, when the hole is covered with earth. That is enough for the dog. Of course some automobiles are more efficient in this sort of work than others, and the machine an exhaust that will kill a dog might be an easier job than the country as well as on the prairie; the manufacturers are not likely to lay much stress on this feature of their machine—Scientific American. Radio Controls Boat's Course As far as the eye can see, with the aid of a telescope, the movements of a small boat off shore, it is now possible to control such a craft laden with a heavy charge of dynamite, by the use of the radio system, in the opinion of Brig. Gen. Weaver, chief of the coat artillery. Experiments which the army is watching are now in progress, with the object of applying this system of control to a submerged torpedo. It is believed that the problem already has been solved so that an operator can move such torpedoes with surety against an enemy's battleship fleet lying several miles out at sea.

Prince, who is taking a post graduate course at the University of Vienna is "making good" at the University. Several months ago he left Chicago, U. S. A., over the B. & O. He left New York City on May 26 for the eastern continent over the Hamburg-Germany lines. Spent some time at Dresden and Leipzig. The voyage in every respect was pleasing. From the time he left New York harbor, he never had a moment to himself. The passengers were congenial, most of Germans or at least spoken German. He, too, could speak German fluently and men and women were glad to converse with him. The shores of England were touched on the 6th day from leaving U. S. A., reaching Hamburg after 7 days of pleasant sailing, being the first trip of the largest vessel afloat "Taterland." He arrived at Vienna where he entered the University upon special acceptance. The war does not integrate with his work through knowledge has proved a asset. A cable message from the State Department in Washington, D. C., U. S. A., a few days ago through the general consulate here asking what he intended to do, was a pleasant surprise. The inquiry was precipitated by his lifelong friend, Dr. M. J. Brown of Chicago and Hon. Senator Sam艾尔滕, who showed interest about his safety. In an interview Dr. Prince says the situation is serious. He will probably sail for the States Nov. 1.

CHICAGO DEFENDER STORY PUBLISHED IN JAPANESE PAPER Los Angeles Morning Sun Translates and Reprints Eloise Bibb Thompson's "Tribute to Women" Appearing in the Defender September 19, 1914. NOTED ORIENTAL PAPER. Published by Company of Educators Who Endeavor to Supply Their Countrymen With the Best Thought of the Various Races in the United States. For the first time in the history of Aro-American newspapers in the from their columns and published in Northwest an article has been taken a Japanese daily newspaper for the edification of the people of that race. This distinction has come to the Chicago Defender and its Los Angeles correspondent, Elosse Bibb Thompson, whose work on Aro-American women, appearing in the Chicago Defender Saturday, September 19, 1914 was translated and reprinted word for word in the Los Angeles Morning Sun, the leading Japanese daily newspaper, Saturday, October 31. How to Read Japanese. NEW JAPAN. Mrs. Thompson's story was considered so interesting by the editors that it was given a half page of space in their issue of that date, and the photo was run with it. The article in full as it appeared in the Sun, reduced in size, or rather stereotyped, is published elsewhere in this issue. Other than our Japanese readers must be informed that the printing custom of that race is just the reverse to their own. That is, instead of beginning the article at the top of the first column, you start reading at the end. The Japanese print backwards. Finest Tribute to Women. Tsunaka, editor and publisher of the Los Angeles Morning Sun, and his associates are a company of Japanese women are striving through their influential paper to give their countrymen the benefit of best thought of the various races in the United States. They consider Mrs. Thompson's story the finest tribute to Afro-American womanhood they had ever read, and the Chicago Defender the leader among Afro-American newspapers.

This lecture has engaged Professor Joseph Douglas, admitted for years to be the face's foremost violinist, who, in addition to giving several recitals in this city, has a tour of the Pacific coast, his literary including the entire state of California, the principal cities in Oregon, Washington and contiguous territory. Triumphs Scored Professor Douglass, who is instructor and soloist conductor of the University Orchestra of Howard University Conservatory of Music, Washington, D. C., has recently been engaged to play for the records of a talking company. This is the first instance of an American violinist having been asked to play a musical device. The action of the company will bring the marvelous playing of this skilled musician into the homes of the most influential people the country over and will reach, as well, patrons of music halls and the assessment of all the great cities of the world. This highly favored performer has scored many musical triumphs in some of the principal cities of the country, as is evidenced by the flattering press comments he has received from such papers as the Boston Daily Globe, the Chicago Daily Herald, the Daily Herald of Durham, N. C., and others, all of which one way or another have pronounced him a master of his instrument.

Born a slave in Maryland in the early part of the last century, escaping under the disguise of a sailor at the age of 21, Frederick Doughlas went under his way to Massachusetts, then changed to attend an anti-slavery convention. Having been called on at this convention to say a few words on the subject under discussion, he, to the amusement of all, spoke with such power and eloquence that he was immediately sent out as a lecturer under the auspices of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society, becoming events and most prominent anti-slavery agitator, subsequently received and accepted an invitation to lecture in Great Britain. On his return to America Frederick Douglass edited the North Star and later published his autobiography, which is known under the title of "Life and Times of Frederick Douglass." He held a number of prominent political positions, the most important of which were mural and recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia and minister to Hayti. He died in 1835.

No boy or girl likes to be sick. Neither do grown-ups, for that matter. There are some kinds of diseases that we can do much to avoid; others, there is nothing much that we can do in the way of protection. There are some diseases that boys and girls can do great deal to lessen their chances of getting them are diphtheria, scarlet fever and measles. All of these are very contagious, "catching," as we often say, and for most part conveved from one person to another by the matter that comes from the nose, throat or mouth. In the school children of Chicago there are three diseases alone, and then follow these few simple directions, they in large part would be able to avoid having diphtheria, scarlet fever and measles. Here they are: Keep away from children who are suffering with severe colds, complain of sore throats and who say they don't know. Without being rude or unkind, you cannot not play with them or exchange gun, candy, fruit or food of any kind. Do not borrow or lend pencils at any time; and never put even your own pencil in your mouth. Do not visit with playmates who are with you; they may be coming down with cold, they may be coming taut we are talking about; and, as a rule, the early stages are the most dangerous. Do not go into any house where there is a warning sign posted on the outside. The only safe rule is not to expose yourself knowingly. Take no advice. The above are a few simple suggestions which if closely followed will mean a whole lot more protection for the boys and girls of Chicago. Of course, if some one of the children in a family gets sick with either diptheria or scarlet fever, then there are suggestions that must be followed and which are enforced by the Department of Health through its medical health officers. One of the first of these regulations is to establish and maintain quarantine, which means that the public must be kept out and the sick person kept in. In most cases the members of the family who are found to be ill must be permitted to come and go; all, of course, demanding upon the house being so arranged that they may not come in contact with the patient. But children from a home in which there is a case of either diphtheria or scarlet fever will not be permitted to attend school, Sunday school or places of public gatherings of any kind. Detailed instructions are served in each case, according to existing conditions, are given either by the attending physician or by the department inspectors. In order that the health of a community may be properly protected it is important that all good citizens work with the health officials in carrying out and enforcing all of the regulations and purpose. And the better this is done, better it will be for all concerned. Provide the children with toothbrushes that they use them might and may require. MACON, GA. By R. W. Williams.

Unusually good bills were presented at the Grand both the first and last half of the present week and in consequence the house enjoyed liberal patronage. LeMaire and Bradley, roller skaters, opened the bill with an exhibition of difficult and fancy skating seldom equaled. The couple were clever and graceful and their act was well received. The Two Spreaks put over very gracefully a few fresh songs and danced credibly. "The Wrong Mrs. Appleton," skirt made for laughing purposes only, was presented by the couple, who was well received, considering that it had been done at this house a number of times before. The program said "Tom Brown and Billy Johnson in Miles from Home with Mattle Wilkes." It would seem that not only this special trio, but also many others, were at home at the Grand, among friends who applauded to the echo every stunt they turned on. Their skirt was pleasing, though it would be hard to describe, as a little bit of everything was thrown in to get报酬, and the couple might be used to Billy Johnson back in harrow again. He is one of the best, if not the very best, all-round theatrical men the race has. He is a writer, producer and an actor all in one and good in each line, and his work this week showed study and insight. He was a great friend and knows of his sterling worth, so much has been written about him, that it is needless to comment at this time. The company surrounding these artists were the host to be found and outside of their profession, would take part in the production, and the change of program is promised each week, and they are versatile enough to do it. Mrs. Katie Jones, a cousin of Aida Overton Walker, does excellent work as a dancer.

Howard Violin, and Miss Yeo and Mr. Harris. --- (Special to the Chicago Defender) —Bostic, Mass., Nov. 20—Thursday evening, November 13, Mr. Roland W Haines, tenor, assisted by Mr. Wesley I Howard, violinist, and Miss Ruth Yee and Mr. Charles J. Harris, accompany gave, have a concert in Stehlert Hall songs. Jensen, "Murmuring Zephyr," Burleigh, "The Hourglass"; Halle, "Zitterdenord Mordlich"; Wagner, "Winter Sturmera" from "Die Walkuwer," Ch'ella ml creden from "The Girl of Golden West"; Gilberte, "Youth," Burleigh, "Almona and Ahmed's Farewell," Hebron, "Good Night Song," Mr. Howard played pieces by Czerwony, Buch, Gluck, Kreisler, and Coleman. Mr. Hays has been heard several times and always with pleasure. His voice has an unusually beautiful quality. Powerful enough for stirring dramatic passages, the voice is preemently lyric, with a liberal range with even tones throughout. Mr. Hayes uses this excellent organ with his own expression, the use is delightfully clear. When he sings there is no need of a book of the words. Young singer as he is, he has made marked progress in the art of interpretation. He realizes that a choral performance is continually emphasis is not expression, fest of all, he feels what he sings and is able to communicate his sentiments and emotions. Thursday night humbler songs added to the program in response to the applause and enthusiasm that lined the room. We greatly enjoyed by reason of the singer's unaffected humor and pathos. Mr. Howard gave pleasant variety. He has improved in technic and in style since we last heard him. His performance was curring in an added selection was highly creditable. He has yet to gain more self-confidence. TESTIMONIAL CONCERT Tendered Miss Gertrude Jackson, Institutional Church, Wednesday Evening, December 16— Admission 25 Cents.

First Rounded Table Knives During the first half of the seventeenth century Cardinal Richelieu, the founder of the French Academy, became offended by the rude manner in which pointed knives were used and caused his knives to be rounded. He used them generally adopted, and the pointed blade, which, in lieu of a fork, had been useful in picking up pieces of meat, was abandoned. Since the seventeenth century the form of table knives remained substantially as we know it. New Facts About Microbes New Facts About Microbes. It has just been discovered that the sudden cooling of the atmosphere has the power of transporting microbes and localizing them in certain regions. The cool air almost attracts them from a distance almost instantaneously, the smaller being transported farther than the larger ones. These discoveries throw light upon the origin of certain epidemics, and may be useful in helping us to decide what climates are the most healthful. --- Salt in the United States Salt in the United States. The two chief methods depended on for obtaining salt are to mine rock salt and to evaporate salt-bearing solutions. Salt is obtained chiefly from deep salt ponds in the western central and southern parts of the United States, active mines being located in New York, Michigan, Kansas and Louisiana. A comparatively small quantity is also obtained from surface deposits in the dry climates of Utah and California. What "Bennuil of Nolls" Me **The Many of Nails Mean.** The terms nails, etc., are applied to nails came from England in a pound, pronounced pun. Nails of such a size that it took 1,000 of them to weigh four, six eight or ten pounds were popularly known as four-pun nails, six-pun nails, eight-pun nails, six-pun nails, respectively; and in the course of time six-pun nails, six-pun nails, etc., were gradually corrupted to the meaningless four-pun nails, six-penny nails, etc. **Japanese Woman Pearl** Divers. For centuries past one of the curious customs of Japan has been the employment of woman as divers in the pearl industry. Formerly whole pearls were collected and preprigative became more and more that of the women until now fully ninety per cent of Japanese pearls are gathered by Japanese women divers. A movement begun several years ago to replace them with men has been opposed bitterly by the women. TO CLUB EDITORS TO CLUB EDITORS.

Prof. Dave Peyton and his Grand Symphony Orchestra Tuesday afternoon at the Grand Theater was a magnificent success. Home talent proved to be artists of the first water and their initial concert has been the highlight of the season, a spect for art in the "Windy City" Music lovers packed the house. It was a most appreciative audience. The program varied and suited all classes. To Mr. Peyton is the credit of gathering together forty or fifty of the best musicians and giving to the pub the opportunity to hear the history of Chicago. The success was not only due to the hospitalizable audience that listened patiently to the high-class program and artists, but to the fine work done by the orchestra, of all whom are men of ability and intelligence. The program went up, and it was a beautiful sight Director Peyton stepped upon the elevated stage, acknowledged the ap phrase and, with the motion of his baton, the orchestra was playing "March, King of Clubs." The full house had its effect upon the orchestra, the orchestra, for the music played was inspiring, full of harmony and sweetness. . . . Back of this success, let us pause to mention the name of William Foster. It was through his wise management that the financial side was looked after, and that well. He is one of the best informed men in this direction hereabouts. There was a musksham in the singing of Madame Kate Knight, Chicago's favorite soprano. She was stunningly gowned in sky-blue silk and wore a nobby hat. She received two handsome bouquets of American Beauties. Young Harrison Emanuel was the violin solist. Chicago is well satisfied with his work. He proved himself a cultivated artist at home and likewise in the East. His playing Tuesday was exceptionally fine. His present achievements are worthy of mention. He recorded numbers and was accorded generous applause and happily responded with an encore. In the second part Mr. William A. Tyler, a Chicago boy, and recently returned from New York, was the stellar attraction. He is a gifted artist. Nature favored him early in life for a knowledge of the violin. Tuesday he was at his best. He received hearty applause. His "At the Ball" was a "knockout." His technique and tone were fine and in this number, a rag selection, he took the house by storm. Mr. Young, the celebrated tenor singer, the plaudits of the audience for his masterly rendition of "w numbers. . . . MRS. WM. EMANUEL HAS BOX PARTY AT SYMPHONY CONCERT Mrs. William Emanuel, mother of Mr. Harrison Emanuel, the brilliant violinist who played so marvelously at the grand symphony orchestra concerto he performed this occasion.

Communal Life of Ants The most complete communal life is that of ants. They make other ants serve as slaves. Some of them have developed into door-tenders. They have hard heads, with which they plug up entrances. Friendly ants animate the entrances, and their heads in a peculiar way, giving the password, as it were, and then are admitted. These ants even raise a type of mushroom on which they live. Remembered Prohibition.

LATEST FASHIONS The Correct Mode in Milady's Dresses, Hats, etc. Advice from the Dressmaker for Women, Misses and Children. BY EVA L. SIMPSON Ideas for the Business Woman. It may be interesting to begin at once on the important question, "How should the business woman dress?" You should be prepared, of course, who expects to spend her winter in an office is a serious one. How to achieve it without living up to her income requires much thought. For the woman who works in an office there are two essentials; a good dress and a good coat. But one can be afforded to choose the separate coat, as it can be worn with a variety of one-piece frocks and one will always be well dressed whereas a coat worn every day would soon have the skirt hopelessly shabby. A coat worn every day would be one day in very often tempted. No matter how much tempted, by no means choose a "fussy" suit or one of sturding color. Such would be all right for dress the first winter but when you think of the next year the changing styles and the office your hung away for an indestructible time. According to the styles of today there is less need for the elaborate suit; the light one-piece frocks are worn to the thighs with long corsets; the more valuable addition to the wardrobe. It is very unwise to invest in velvet suits unless you have a large income or are capable of making same at home; if you can make yourself a velvet suit instead of a fabric because you can get a very good quality velvetteen which wears and gives the desired satisfaction. Velvetteen frocks are going to be very much worn. Materials Most Used. Serges, cheviots, the new Gaberdine, poplin and broadcloth are staple materials and all give good service, for "beat" and "second best" wear. Black is always good style for a suit, but is rather "spotty," and inclined to get shiny soon. However, with a bottle of alcohol on hand both frocks and shine can be kept in check. In choosing your separate coat avoid the sporty looking check plaids or stripes. You will no doubt want to wear it for at least two seasons, and possibly for evening as well, so it is well to choose a well tailored conservative model that is a blend between a storm and a dressy wrap. If you do not desire your coat for evening the tweeds are less conspicuous, novelty mixtures are serviceable, the plain color is very admirable but one can tire of solid colors so quickly. A dark blue, dark brown, or taupe coat cut on the new flaring lines with collar and cuffs of velvet or fur, will keep you well dressed both for the evening and for the office. Milady's Blouse. For the girl who wears the suits as is the hobbit of some, there should be at least two sleeves, and some girls won't wear anything else, that they may always look fresh. Of course this means expensive laundered. If you get the wash crepe or the P Materials Most Used. Milady's Blouse Wise Wombat Columbus Bragg, the man about town, who writes under the heading "On and Off the Stroll," which has delighted thousands of the Chicago Defender's readers, was given a testimonial Thursday of last week at the new Monogram theater. Mr. Bragg, the director of the biggest benefit ever given on the "Father's Day" hearing has been impaired for over two years and the financial returns of the entertainment were for an operation on his ear. When it was first announced in the Defender, Mr. Bragg was made happy by the support given him, not only by the theatrical performers of the city, but leading men and women of the South Side. This was no dream, the doors were opened, the best chance the doors were opened, there to give their means toward the fund. In a short while the theater was packed and many were turned away. The Program. The program was rich and varied. Every performer was ready at a moment's notice to do their part in making the affair a success. Big vaudeville acts, comedians, male and female, solists and an augmented orchestra delighted the large gathering two hours. Mr. Charles Young acted two ceremonies. Before the last number, he was called upon for a speech. His heart was so heavy that he burst into tears. Every one sympathized with the man who once was an actor and school teacher who was educated for the ministry. He is a thorough student upon the Bible and is considered expert authority. Mr. Bragg thanked the call for a speech and a heat sum was realized. The Defender, which is a loyal friend, wishes to thank all in who any way contributed toward the success of the Bragg benefit. imported crops which do not shrink so much they are easily laundered and need no ironing. The madras shirt wristwear is to be worn, but this will need ironing; for the suit there should also be a self-tanned waist, the best choice for this would be crepe de chine; it costs more in the beginning but can be washed in the tub. As the modern office is usually over-washed, the cotton wool waist especially light colors because they catch dirt easily. Instead of the fannel, challis is very much used and gives good service. Wash silk in the heavier grade is also good but little expensive. The wool is cut much higher at the throat. Many of them have high turnover or standup collars; then some will have the high collar with a narrow opening in front to give freedom to the throat. Where the V neck is used it is raised lower than the base of the throat. The collar rolls high at the back. Economy in the Wardrobe. Two one-piece frocks made of any serviceable material and five blouses ought to give one ample clothes for a winter in an office besides a girl will need two or three dark petticoats in changeable tones; can have one in silk are really the best and they are obtainable for a few dollars, by watching the sales. True, some like the satin, but the soft silk gives excellent service. The soft suit one can manage with two blouses having one of chiffon, cloth or some daly silk, in soft tones, the latter is really preferable because it wears better and by removing the fancy trimming can be worn at the office next year. The other can be of face, net, any pretty design you desire having it made for a mannequin I'm sure would be charming. Speaking of the fancy; trimming above mentioned I might add here that many girls make a grave mistake when they wear their last year's finery in the office. Picture yourself of the applicants would dress in their cast-off finery, for instance, one will appear in a shabby and faded velvet suit, loaded down with frills, all of which are soiled, hat with a begged plume for which she has no doubt paid the best part of a month's shoes or slippers with rundown heels; she will be an applicant will not secure the required position, he she ever so proficient. Another appears on the scene in neatly tailored suit, fresh waist, neat hat, polished shoes; she may be inexperienced in practical work work, but this empire is more willing to take her proper dress, businesslike applicant because of her neat and tidy appearance. In both the business and social world appearance is first; then by all means give appearance some attention; it is very pleasing to enter a well-kitted office and it is more pleasing to be received by a very pleasant, plain, neat, but well dressed young business woman.

In most cases this has worked l THE WILSON-TROTTER INTERVIEW. SINCE THE ADVENT OF WOODROW WILSON AS PRESIDENT forced segregation of the Negro government employees has been the rule. In most cases this has worked hardship on the colored employees, the majority of whom are educated and intelligent, and from time to time delegations waited on the heads of the departments protesting against it. They got such little satisfaction, however, that after some difficulty a delegation headed by W. Monroe Trotter secured an audience with the President to present their case. According to reports the latter appears to have received the delegation with covert sneers and attempted to justify the segregation order, and further attempted to make it appear to the newspaper reporters that the delegation "sassed and attempted to blackmail him." We leave to an unbiased public whether the President was justified or not in his position. THE FACTS OF THE INTERVIEW—The President assured the Negroes that he had investigated the charges and that no discrimination had been practiced, in that segregation had been inaugurated to avoid friction between the races, assuring them that he was deeply interested in the progress the colored people had made. At this point Mr. Troster and the delegation emphatically told the President that segregation was an injustice; that they came to have it righted; that they would not submit to any "stalling." THE REAL CAUSE OF WILSON'S ANGER—The spokesman reminded the president of his pre-election promises of equality of the races, which did not harmonize with this refusal of his to grant the request of the colored man. Two years ago you were thought to be a second Abraham Lincoln—the President tried to interrupt, insisting that personalities be left out of the discussion, and well might he, for unless we are honest at heart the more that is said and thought of the moral and personal excellence of others the more apt we are to see and feel our own deficiencies. He wanted to talk of pictured and extraneous goodness rather than his own personal goodness. The most horrible deeds of cruelty have been perpetrated by the worshippers of a pictorial religion and the fiercest defense of nominal public virtue has been the fruit of intense private prejudices. These are the kind of Christians who have bowed down to a picture of the Blessed Virgin, as divine, and who could stab a living mother with a babe upon her bosom they can pierce the heart of Jesus while they seem to kneel at His cross. They think they serve the Son of the Highest by desecrating those for whom he died. His co-workers had done the Negro a wrong and he had approved of it, this man who could talk of a "New Freedom" and discuss so passionately the rights of man in our Democracy had so far forgotten the true spirit of America that he could not even stand to listen to some of his former platitudes. Witness the spectacle of a man who but yesterday made such strenuous appeals to universal humanity for the aid of a Democratic candidate at the polls, now holding up hands in holy horror that any should be found so abandoned as to mention before his face and in his august hearing such unmentionable objects as votes and tickets and "a form of blackmail" known as politics. FURTHER WITNESS this august person sitting like a teacher in an unruly class room, inexpressibly mortified at the loud talking of the boys and giggling among the girls. Let no unseemly or impatient word be spoken in that exalted presence. THE MAN OF GENIUS? Genius without grace only tends to refine an evil good. The President perceived the prejudiced spirit of the times garnished his soul and made it ready, he sees the ideas prevailing around him, infused into them his own energy and gave the delegation an answer contrary to the high ideals of American democracy and against the most vital principles of a Constitution he had sworn to uphold. Shades of Bleece and Vardaman, has the President also subscribed to their sentiment expressed tersely "To hell with the Constitution"? But the President was angry and he descended to the level of engaging in a quarrel with his callers. He told Mr. Trotter that he was the only American citizen who had ever come to the White House and addressed the President in such a tone and with such a background of passion; that he had spoiled the cause for which he came; that he expected those who professed to be Christians to come to him in the spirit of Christianity. The President was angry—we are glad, we hope he was angry twice, first because he allowed himself to forget the high office he was holding, and second we hope he was angry with Woodrow Wilson for breaking faith with the Light ideals he has professed to represent. We agree that Christianity proposes an excellent way for the settlement of all disputes; it sets up brotherly love as superior to all other authority, and as the only interpreter of God's mind. Whoever endeavors to secure advantage to himself, or his party, to the prejudice of others surely is not moved by the spirit of heaven. The only proof we can afford to believe must be seen in the practice of justice. Mr. Trotter denies that by manner or tone of speaking he had in the slightest way treated the President disrespectfully. Let us analyze the situation. Mr. Trotter represented the only group of American citizens that this government has allowed to be treated as the Negroes are. He told the President that he wanted him to know how the Negroes felt. Now in order that a speaker he understood, he usually excites just that degree of emotion proper to his words and which he feels in connection with them at the time of speaking; the effect depends upon the previous state of will in his individual hearer. Mr. Trotter had a just cause, his race had been outraged and humiliated. The president was denying him justice, simple justice. He knew he was right, and the President knew he was WHITE HOUSE OLD WHITE TOM Tom Poylly Mr. Wilson, worthy man, has not yet passed the stage of regarding every person with a pigmented skin as an "Uncle" or "Mammy" who is seeking broken victuals or its equivalent. Extract from editorial in Buffalo Express, Nov. 14, 1914. wrong—yet he was the President, possessed of a strong but sensitive soul that demanded even truth be presented to him by all the arts prudence and wisdom of man, if they would win their way to his heart. Alas, for the great cause for which the delegation had come, men whose hearts and heads were full to overflowing can scarcely speak but that they seem like mad men. Under such conditions with the best oratory, the ablest argument, it is still almost impossible for even a wise man to speak from his heart the truth as he feels it without presenting it in so individual a manner as to offend. It is, to a certain extent, his duty to do so; the scandal is not in the honest speaker, but in the uncharitable hearer. Truth as it is personally felt by another is, however, the very thing that a party man needs to tolerate with cheerfulness, for unless he can so bear it and even enjoy it he can never be converted from the popery of self opinion, prejudice and partisanship to the catholicity of christendom. We would suggest that the President remember the higher law, "Do unto others, etc.," and reaffirm to a waiting anxious public his allegiance to a Constitution he has sworn to support. find the people of Starkville, Mr. Petitions were presented in person that the two men sentenced to hear After some discussion it was decided where everybody could witness a American citizen sings.

ONE MUST INDEED BE ON THE BRINK OF DESPAIR who cannot find something in their heart to be thankful for. Another year has rolled around and like the changing seasons, into most lives has come both fair and cloudy weather. Thanksgiving this year to all Americans should be a day of supreme gratefulness, since no war or rumors of war cloud the horizon. The habit of Thanksgiving like the quality of mercy is never strained, it blesses both the giver and the receiver and in rendering our hearts up to the benign sentiment of being grateful makes music in the soul sweeter far than from any lyre. Whatever be the circumstances of our existence viewpoint is everything, even in the slough of despair to turn one's mind upon happier and holier things brings a reflection of their glory into our hearts. Nature and life in the eternal plan of creation is always antithesis, pain and balm, gall and glory, cross and crown. Why should we unduly lament the season of dull care or sorrow in our lives which only tend to harrow our souls for the growth of seeds of joy and gladness. The day of Thanksgiving can be prolonged into a week of Thanksgiving, and a month and a year if by supreme effort we keep hope and goodness in our hearts. Round about us can be found many who are suffering for the want of the necessities of life—bread, fuel and a place of shelter. Perhaps fortune has not smiled on you of late; you have felt the stress of hard times, sharp cuts had to be made in your household expenses, a feeling steals over you that the world is all wrong, you have striven and failed. You walk out into the chill November air, downhearted; a little half-dressed shivering child approaches you and begs for a penny. Something within your breast bids you follow this child home. You find perhaps in a dingy basement room a mother lying sick upon a bed of rags while about her play two or three children smaller than the one met upon the street. Forgotten are your own troubles, trifling in comparison to those of this helpless mother. You leave only to return in a few moments with a well-filled basket of provisions, you find kindling and coal, build a cheerful fire and as you wend your way homeward to your own family you find you are whistling, the sun is shining and in your heart you have found the true significance of Thanksgiving.

RUSTEM BEY, THE TURKISH AMBASSADOR, HAS DEPARTED and we are sorry even if some other people in high official circles are not. Of course everybody knows the conventional thing for an ambassador to do is to say nothing that is nothing that leaves a bad taste in the mouth. But Rustem would talk, and so having broken the rules of the game, though not sorry for his so-called error, forfeits his place and leaves America to get along the best she can without him. If what he said or the way he said it was a bit too sarcastic it is worth while for the great "I ams" to consider that though the heathen Turks, when stirred up, may now and then massacre Armenians, superior Christian America has seen lynchings and burning of human beings, the "water cure" in the Philippines, tent colony murders and various other horrible deeds. The gentleman from abroad didn't call names or display fits of temper, he merely alluded to these things by way of suggestion that reform looks good at home. As a parting shot he wondered why Mohammed Turks, who make no pretense of superiority, should be expected to live up to higher standards of conduct than other peoples who have had the boasted advantage of Christian training. Rustem has a way of speaking the truth that is not only painful but quite embarrassing, but let us have more of such men. THE RECKONING.

The one day we are stronger and better fitted a day will come the final reckoning. find the people of Starkville, Miss., have the same depraved views. Petitions were presented in person to the Board of Supervisors asking that the two men sentenced to hang next week be executed in private. After some discussion it was decided to let them be executed in public where everybody could witness same. To what depths have some of our American citizens sunk. Much as the Mexicans would turn out in gala attire to witness a bull fight do these semi-brutes make merry at the execution of a fellow human being. If a man must die by law let it be as private as possible, though the taking-of one life for another never makes conditions better—it is simply adding one crime to another. The practice of lynching has such a firm hold on the people in certain sections of this country that they forget sometimes and put to death in the same manner one of their own kind, proof of what force of habit will do. Just when we think conditions are on the mend something more heinous than we are accustomed to hear will break out in a new spot, and so we settle back and start the fight all over again. The one encouraging feature is that each day we are stronger and better fitted to cope with our enemies and some day will come the final reckoning. "POSSUM HUNTERS."

The outrages of the "Possum Hunters" in the coal fields of western Kentucky have been so frequent here of late that the attention of Gov. McCreary has been called to them. One man has been lynched and scores have been dragged from their homes and lashed within an inch of their life. When the victims were more dead than alive they were released; they were warned to leave that section immediately, if they did not the next visit would mean death. Only six Afro-Americans so far have been in the assault. It is a union fight and the men are masked and heavily armed and will stop at nothing to gain their point. At this writing it matters not which side is right, it simply goes to show how far a class of people will go who know not the restrictions of law and order and care less. They have been in the habit of killing in cold blood members of the dark race and escaping punishment; they have grown hardened and defiant, if one of their crosses them the same punishment is meted out to them, and who is to say aught against it? What is good for the goose should be good for the gander. The law abiding citizens in other sections of the country have little sympathy with this class of people, they have made their own bed, let them lie upon it. NOW THAT THE STOCK YARDS ARE OPEN again the frugal housewife can take a long breath and feel that she can again afford to ask the butcher the price of meats without resorting to smelling salts after being told. The good news is also being flashed over the country that the prices on other staples will soon take a sharp drop, which is reason enough for the most of us to be thankful. IN CERTAIN DEPARTMENTS in Washington white men are permitted to smoke in the hallways, but as soon as a gentleman of color attempts the same, he is promptly arrested. This is a government of the people, for the people and by the (white) people. "TEN DAYS AND COST," said a Boston judge to a southern white gentleman the other day. When asked by the prisoner the cause, the judge politely said, "You were whistling "Down on the Swanee River." YOU CAN TAKE THE WHITE MAN out of the South and educate him within an inch of his life, but you cannot take the South out of him. STOP! STOP, IF YOU MUST, the songs of the sunny South, but spare your "Old Oaken Bucket."—With apologies to Barbara Friedchie. THAT CLASS OF SOUTHERN white gentlemen who are accepting janitor jobs in Washington must be the lynching class.

The sword that was used to pierce the side of Our Lord and Savior, the Holy Grail has been thought from time immemorial to possess certain essential virtues. Virtues of the Sword. it was thought by the ancients, as demonstrated in the opera, "Parsilat," that the sword which opens the sword of Jesus contains virtuous for healing and curing of all manner of wounds, such as lingering sores, ulcers, cancers, the sores of poor old Job and the faithful Lazarus, syphilis, etc.; that if the wound or sore could be touched with said sword it would be immediately healled. And stranges to say that many people believe today that by wearing certain charms, such as loadstone, stones containing mercury, buckeyes, little bags containing asafetida worn around the neck to ward off smallpox, rabbit foot to give good luck and keep away spooks, and drawing a cord through the brain of a live rat and placing said cord around the neck of a child to enable it to cut its teeth rapidly and easily, the placing of a pan of cold water under the bed to keep off night sweats and to cure fears, that all such nonsense possesses great virtues. Yes, it is indeed strange to what extent these various beliefs the health mind. In ancient times and in the past of the latity believe that diseases come out of punishment from God. To the rationale being such is difficult to believe or even conceive that God would take up His time in punishing poor, weak mortals in the way of taking their health and making them helpless and dependent creatures. The Holy Grail. The Holy Grail, or cup, which was used during the last cup by Our Lord and Savior, was also believed to possess virtues for cure of anyone afflicted; and for many years everyone that was sick or afflicted went out to search for the Holy Grail, believing that to drink from said cup would mean health to them—that they would be restored to perfect health. Let us devote our time searching for the Holy Grail of health, as health means efficiency, and poverty of health means a lack of efficiency. Mankind all over the world is beginning to demand more and better knowledge as to the way and means of preventing disease, better ways in the scientific cure of disease. Man is the greatest economic loss in your great economic disease. Man is realizing that health is his best asset; that a slightly man EDITOR'S MAIL Detroit, Mich., Nov. 9, 1914. Mr. R. S. Abbot, LL.

CHATHAM, 288 McGraw Avenue. Elizabeth Fry. Elizabeth Fry's great work for prison reform was all done after her marriage. It was in 1813 that she paid her first and memorable visit to Newgate prison, and in 1817 formed the Association for the Improvement of Female Prisoners in Newgate, which attracted such widespread interest. Her efforts were not confined to Great Britain, many continental prisons being the better for her labors. Beyond Her Understandin Beyond Her Understanding. A woman can never understand why her husband does not order to make both ends meet, when he is so smartier than other men. NO CASES ARE DIAGNOSED AND NO PRESCRIPTIONS GIVEN IN THESE WEEKLY ARTICLES a feeble man, is greatly handicapped in the very beginning of his race of life, and that no man can do his full measure of service to the world who does not possess good health. All mankind is realizing that he is his brother's keeper and that his good health depends upon the good health of his neighbor. The New Commandments. We would advise that you learn and obey the following new commandments in relation to your neighbor: "Thou shalt honor thy neighborhood and keep it clean. "Remember thy cleaning day and keep it wholly. "Thou shalt take care of thy rubish bish, hese thy neighbor will bear witness against thee. "Thou shalt keep in order thy alley, thy back yard, thy hall and thy stairway. as pierce, the from certain its, as insilal, the side for the owner of the mizer of old phillips, could arrange today such meraining key to "Thou shalt not let the wicked fly breed. "Thou shalt not kill thy neighbor by ignoring fire menaces, or by poisoning the air with rubbish and garbage. "Thou shalt not keep the window closed day and night. "Thou shalt covet all the air and light thou must obtain. "Thou shalt love thou bearest thy children thou shall provide clean homes. "Thou shalt not sical thy children's right to health and happiness." Thou shalt remember these commandments and keep them inviolate and riveted upon thy soul with hoops of steel. Thou shalt not sical them to overcate or gormandize themselves on oysters, celery, cranberries, nuts, turkey, etc., on Thanksgiving Day, but will only eat to moderate satiety and will not lie down like a dumb animal after eat-out, in the fresh air, to aid digestion and assimilation and to take to return to work the day after Thanksgiving Day up to full standard of efficiency. Thou shalt eat slowly—thoroughly. Fletchering thy food. Thou shalt surround myself with pleasant and congenial friends to the extent of thy ability. Thou wilt avoid all unpleasantness to others, and thou wilt bring much happiness and sunshine to bear on this Thanksgiving dinner as thou art. That, that thou wilt not spoil thy dinner with food, are more fortunate than thou art, but wilt remember those less fortunate than thyself, and let this give solace during thy Thanksgiving meal. Improvident Zulu The Zulu is absolutely without property except the hut where he lives. He is a strict apostle of the teaching of take no thought of the morrow. He never lays in any store, and if he has plenty one day he culls until he can hold no more. The next day he may find nothing to eat and he goes along the best he can like a future. He store up for the future, and he finds a kind. He decorates his head with plumage and fine colored feathers, but he has not clothing for his body except coarse woven cloth. ```markdown ``` Believing Headache Headaches caused by worry or exhaustion may be relieved by very simple means. If possible, put on loose clothing, loosen the hair and supply yourself with a bowl of hot water and several towels. Wet the towels in the hot water and apply them to and to the base of the brain. Change them as soon as you will soon find relief. A hot foot bath hastens the process.
