MUST HAVE, PULLMANS FOR ALL OR NONE AT ALL First True Account of Noted Case—Daily Newspapers Giving Little Space to Important Decision Announced Monday Through Justice Hughes. (Special to the Chicago Defender.) Washington, D. C., Dec. 4.—Monday a majority of the Supreme court joined in an opinion that the Oklahoma "jim crow" law provisory permitting railroads to furnish sleeping, dining and chair accommodations only to the white race was unconstitutional, but they did not so decree because of imperfections in the petition on which the case reached the courts. The case was one in which five Afro-American citizens claimed that the entire law was unconstitutional and sought an injunction to establish railroads in Oklahoma from enforcing it. The Oklahoma federal courts dismissed the petition, holding the law constitutional. The majority of the court affirmed the dismissal because the Afro-American citizens had not shown they had applied to the railroads for accommodation under the law or that the railroads had notified them that they would be refused certain accommodations. Unconstitutional, Says Majority. are provided substantial equality of treatment of persons traveling under like conditions cannot be denied. "It is the individual who is entitled to the equal protection of the laws, and if he is denied by a common carrier, acting in the matter under the authority of the state facilities and conveniences in the course of his journey under substantially the same condition as furnished another traveler, he may properly complain that his substandard privilege have been invaded." The justice then pointed out that defects in the petition presented an insuperable obstacle to the granting of the injunction. Law's Status Not Settled. The court gave no intimation as to whether in a proper, case it would merely hold the "luxury" car section unconstitutional, or whether it would decide that this section being unconstitutional, the entire law must fail. The five railroads in the case asked that when the case decided Monday was argued to hold the entire law unconstitutional if the "luxury" provisor was annulled. The section of the Oklahoma law which permitted the railroads to carry separate diners, chair cars and sleepers for the whites was defended before the highest court on the ground that these were "luxuries" not necessities for the Negroes seldom patronized these auxiliaries of modern travel. But the court says that such accessories of modern travel are necessary and that they must be available to all classes of citizens alike. The railroads running in interstate commerce may discontinue the separate coaches and the state cannot require them to maintain them, for to do so would be a burden on the railroads. The decision today. But unless they do so they will have to put on separate sleepers, diners or chair cars, as the case may be. SIR LOUIS F.

IX, NO. 49. --- (Special to the Chicago Defender). Washington, D. C., Dec. 4—Monday a majority of the Supreme court joined in an opinion that the Oklahoma "jim crow" law provisional permitting railroads to furnish sleeping, dining and chair car accommodations only to the white race was unconstitutional, but they did not so decree because of imperfections in the petition on which the case reached the courts. The case was one in which five Afro-American citizens claimed that the entitlement was unconstitutional and sought an injunction of railroads in Oklahoma from enforcing it.

The majority of the court affirmed the dismissal because the Afro-American citizens had not shown they had applied to the railroads for accommodation under the law or that the railroads had notified them that they would be refused certain accommodations. Unconstitutional, Says Majority. The majority, through Justice Hughes, stated, however, that they could not agree with the lower court that the provision as to sleeping, dining and car accommodations constitutional. A minority, including White and Justice Holmes, Lamar and McReynolds, concurred merely in the order of affirmance, but expressed no views on the constitutional question. In the opinion by the majority Justice Hughes stated that previous decisions that laws for separate coaches for the two races were constitutional were not to be questioned. He then set forth the reasons for the opinion that the laws were constitutional in holding the proviso constitutional. "The reasoning is that there may not be enough persons of African descent seeking these accommodations to warrant the outlay in providing them," he said. "This argument with respect to the value of the traffic seems to be without merit. It makes the constitutional right depend upon the laws of the discriminated against, whereas the essence of the constitutional right is that it is a personal one. --- "Whether or not special facilities shall be provided may doubtless be conditioned upon there being a reasonable demand therefor, but if facilities CHRISTMAS ISSUE OF THE DEFENDER Christmas day this year falls on Friday, and that week's issue of The Chicago Defender will go to press on Wednesday, December 23.

MAN'S LIFE Although Mr. Henry Churchill, 3725 Forest avenue, lies painfully injured at Provident hospital, his friends are happy because his injuries are not more serious and they attribute that fact to his presence of mind. Mr. Churchill met with the accident that laid him up Monday night in the Rock island yard. He was preparing his car to go out and started toward the commissary for some supplies when a train backing in struck him on the arm breaking it in two places.

FREEDMEN'S AID SOCIETY AND ITS SUCCESSFUL WORK Methodist Episcopal Church Association, Started Forty-eight Years Ago on Borrowed Capital, Shows Remarkable Advancement—Handled Half Million Last Year. (Special to the Chicago Defender.) Providence, R. I, Dec. 4—The general committee on the Freedmen's Aid Society, an association organized some forty-eight years ago for the purpose of supervising institutions for the education of Afro-Americans, met in this city a short time ago. The Freedmen's Aid Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church was organized with the purpose of supporting its subsequent growth has increased to such an extent that it now supports twenty two institutions devoted to the education of Afro-American youth in their ten states, twelve of which are collegiate; six of them have Afro-American presidents, who are graduates of the Freedmen's Aid schools. The introductory words of the report of the society's board of managers to the genial committee on the time ago are significant of the splendid work being done by the various institutions under their supervision. It reads as follows: "In presenting this, the forty-eightth, annual report of the Freedmen's Aid Society it is both a privilege and a duty first to acknowledge the goodness of God in giving to the society one of the best years in its history. We have had remarkable advancement in the quality of our class room work in improvements and in new buildings, in the enlargement of our equipment and in the contribution of the church. Special efforts have been directed toward increased efficiency in business methods, and the promotion of closer relations between the board of management and its institutions and trustees of the institutions." The treasurer's report shows that more than half a million dollars has been handled by the society during the last year, the race conferences alone having raised $133,000, of which $59,000 came in actual cash. A statement showing the receipts from the various schools of the society points to the fact that Morristown Normal and Industrial College, Morristown, Tenn., has contributed the largest amount to the general fund during the last year, being $6,652.21. Morristown Normal and Industrial College Freedman's Aid Society some thirty years ago, and now has a property valuation of $75,000, consisting of seventy-five acres of desirable land and eight buildings, one of which, Craig hall, is a four-story brick and stone structure of 100 rooms, and is said to be one of the best school buildings in the city.

CAR Conductor Brutally Attacks Afro-American Woman on Crowded Car on Which Number of Able-Bodied Men of Her Race Are Riding. NO ONE GOES TO HER AID. Foreign White Man Relates Incident —Great Need for Better Men on South Side Lines—Praise for Good Ones. Thanksgiving morning about 7:45 o'clock the conductor on car No. 4723 on the Forty-seventh street line; going east, had an argument with an Afro-American woman over a transfer and brutally choked her. The car was crowded with men and women. A number of the men wore of her race, but none of them interfered when the conductor roughly grabbed her in the neck. The above in brief is the report of all an too frequent occurrence on our street cars wherein girls and girls are insulted with bad language and oft-times roughly handled. The case above would have passed unnoticed if it had not been for a foreign white man who was also a passenger on the car. He became incensed at the cowardly action of the Afro-American men when a woman of their manner being male treated, and he related the incident to another who reported it to the Chicago Defender. *Victim Should Seek Redress.* The story, with its meager details, is printed with the hope that the victim of the brutal assault or some of her friends will read it and be directive and proper course for redress. Discuss everyday happenings, but it is impossible to think of anything in this case to warrant a choking. Street cars being the subject, it is not out of place to call the attention of the officials to the abusive tactics of some of the conductors on the south side car lines. Along State street, Wentworth, Indiana and Cottage Grove avenues are to be found conductors and motormen long in the service whose faces are familiar to the drivers of the cars. In the course of operating the various lines these men are often changed, but they are always readily recognized, being the embodiment of courtesy and attention. *Through Routes Bring Change.* With the advent of the through route system there came a change, Gruff, unscout and insolent conductors appeared on all the lines. This is especially so on the cross-town lines, where in many cases the conductors are only half-grown boys with the marks of a bully all over them. In the seventh street car lines the busiest line in the city so far is Afro-American women are concerned. A small army of them are employed in the Hyde Park and Woodland districts, (Continued on page 7.)

ILLS PLUCKY WOMEN IN LOS ANGELES MAKE MARK IN BUSINESS Mrs. J. H. Cuffee, Mrs. Bessie Prentice, Mrs. Angie Davis-Hunt, Mrs. Mincie Blacksher and Miss Estelle Everett Display Genius in Trades. Another Intersting Story Along the Line of Substantial Progress Being Made by the Afro-American Throughout the World. By Eloise Bibb Thompson. By Elisele Blub Thompson. Los Angeles Cal. Dec. 4. The Afro-American women in the city are an important economic factor in the progress that the race is making in Los Angeles. Their occupations are many, being engaged as teachers, organisers, editors, milliners, modistes, semstresses, stenographers, typewriters, graduate nurses, clerks, cateresses, masseurs, manicurists, hairdressers, chiropodists, lounge dressers, cooks, and others. Hairdressing is Fine Art. A good example of the Afro-American woman's business ability is found in Mrs. J. H. Cuffee, proprietress of the Metropolitan Hairdressing Parlor, 1402¹ East Ninth Street. Although a resident of Los Angeles for the past eleven years, the opportunity to engage in business came to Mrs. J. H. Cuffee age ago, when, after much struggle, the economy, having learned the hair trade from an alumnus of McDonald's Hairdressing College, she opened business with small stock and limited fixtures, which she has subsequently increased to supplies valued at $2,500. So successful has this business proved, together with the business and scalp treatment carried on in conjunction with Mrs. Cuffee has been able to secure real estate which brings her in a good income. Making Drygoods Pay. Mrs. Bessie Prentice, proprietress of the Prentice New Ide Store, a variety drygoods and millinery establishment, 1323 East Ninth street, and store No. 2, 301 Stephenson avenue, is another instance of a woman's pluck and enterprise. The experience Mrs. Prentice gained in a drygoods store in Iowa, where she worked as clerk for more than four years, made it possible to work in Los Angeles. From an exceeding small beginning these two drygoods stores have increased to a business whose stock is valued at $5,000 and whose daily increasing patronage demands the services of six clerks. The financial ambition of Mrs. Prentice was not satiated with the proprietorship of two variety stores, for she has recently purchased a sixteen-room house, which she rented furnished, and designed a business section of Allensworth, Cal. From the famous chef of old New Orleans, who, as the Daily Picture once said, "are shrined as saints in (Continued on page 7). CHARLESTON BARS CECILIA COLEMAN Afro-American Woman Principal Witness Against White Woman Charged with Murder Not Wanted in South Carolina City. (Special to the Chicago Defender.) New York, Dec. 4.—There is a rumor with apparently some foundation that Cecilia Coleman, the Afro-American servant in the home of Dr. Carman, Freeport, L. I., has been debarred from returning to her home in Harlem, S. C., for testifying against Mrs. Carman in the most important trial, she being the most important witness in the case. This new way on the part of the Charlestonians in showing their race prejudice is another evidence of "what fools these mortals be." PULLMAN PORTERS IN CONFERENCE WITH "MOGULS" OF COMPANY Pullman porters, dressed in their uniforms and caps were in secret conference with the heads of the company the first of the week at the Wabash avenue Y. M. C. A. Over 500 were present and heard addresses similar to those given some months ago. Many of the porters still maintain that the company is demanding certain and exact duties from them the company ought to take immediate steps in paying them a living wage. All other employees of railroads have had their salaries increased but porters have not been considered as other employees. The California Railroad Commission has recommended that porters be given a better wage and to this end should the "blue costs" work.

AFRO-AMERICAN FIRE FIGHTERS WANTED (Special to the Chicago Defender). Washington, D. C., Nov. 4.-M. Jr. C. Cunningham, inspired by the report of the district authorities that fifty additional men are needed to properly handle the fire department of this city, urges the formation of an Afro-American fire company, fully equipped and regularly instituted, such as are found in the leading communities of the country which largely represented. He calls attention to the first-class Afro-American fire company at Indianapolis, Ind., which has earned an enviable reputation for expert fire-fighting and perfect discipline. The agitation is regarded as very timely, and if the additional firemen are produced, the year's appropriation bill, the Negro's arrests will miss a big chance if they do the matter before Commissioner Siddons for all it is worth. Washington has the material for the model Negro fire company of the country.

GOLDEN RULE FORGOTTEN IN GREED FOR GOLD Chicago Defender Exposes Unfair Methods of Stores and Theatres Operated on State and Other Streets Wholly Supported By The Race—The Wobbly Scales and the Deceptive Signs. [In preface to the following article, we desire to state that absolutely every line is backed up by facts garnered by a personal investigation covering a period of weeks of close observation by our special reporter, and we are prepared to verify every statement made, with facts and figures.—Effort] The conditions existing now and which have existed for a long time past in business affairs, both great and small, on the South Side, and especially on South State street, are without parallel in any community in any other large city in America. Here we have hundreds of retail stores covering every line imaginable, and small, on the South side, of the patrons of these stores within the race living in close proximity to State street, and without this patronage these stores could not exist. There are also about a dozen vandevillo and moving picture houses within a radius of four or five squares, some of which depend entirely on us for support. In fact, I doubt if there is a theater on what is commonly known as the Van devillo enclosed white patronage to pay their light bills, or that would not speedily go out of business if the colored people of this neighborhood withdrew their patronage. and what do we get in return for all this? How many drug stores do you see employing young colored men as apprentices or in any other capacity? How many of the markets do you use using numbers of clerks, clerks, etc., and is there a place that you can go to a blower collar or handcrief, and have a clerk who can talk anything but broken English serve you? Signs Tell Two Stories. It is true that we have several military stores, bakery shops, hamburgers, groceries and restaurants, but by no means port? Are their wares in any way inferior to the cheap linens carried by most of the stores in the district? Are their prices any higher than the prices charged by the blood-sucking element who are among us in the guise of legitimate business men? What about the grocery man who paints on his front window, "Chicken, chicken, chicken," in letters as big as a sugar barrel and station figures so small that you can hardly see them. If he were an honest dealer, he would either drop that fraction or come out clean and charge you 18 cents a pound for that bird. And so it goes on down the line. On every hand they have taken a strangle hold on the purses of the people of this district, and for some unaccountable reason they make no effort to release themselves from this bunch of worse than thieves. Do these "business men" spend money with the people of this district? The people who are spending blood-money meeting the unreasonable prices demanded for every commodity necessary to life itself? Do you see any of them racing the race with a penny among the race's enterprises in any other line? When they spend money who do they spend it with? Not with us. Only Dark Face is the Porter. You can look all around this section and see hundreds of men who have grown rich and who are still accumulating fortunes, and find anything or anybody in the district but themselves. One of the largest moving picture houses on the South Side employs nothing but white help, with the exception of the porter, and yet this theater of many hundred seats has to "turn them away" about three nights a week. When I spoke to the audience, the expense of the people of the neighborhood, and asked him why he didn't fit himself up with a nice, neat catwalk and ticket-taker, he said: "I have got a big orchestra of musicians. Altr' it enough?". I have seen this house packed and jammed from pit to lobby and the overflow reaching clear out the cellar, blocking the sidewalk with a crowd, to the street. It is true that they all have our people furnishing the music, but I have been informed that they do HOME EDITION "LAW AMERICAN DOLLARS IN SOUTHSIDE BUSINESS VULTURES Various Amusement and Business The So-Called "Black Belt."

Thus, the managers of the various theaters can discharge one or all of them according to his wishes, if they refuse absconding, if these men by contract. Can you hire them, if those fruit is it? Why don't they themselves demand that they be treated as men, and force such people as these to come across? Why? Of course these conditions do not prevail at all the theaters in the district, but why should such be the case at all? The Foxy Market Man. I have stood in meat markets where the scales are of the "wabvbly" kind. That is, they have a dial with so many squares on that it takes a mathematical calculation. They slam an order on the swinging, the indicator starts to wobble around the dial, and when it starts to slacken up, the clerk yells out 22 cents and wraps up the meat, the customer pays and goes out happy, and the clerk rubbens around to see who is the next victim. I saw one lady who demanded that the clerk wait until after the order to charge her for something that she had sold for cents, she thereby saved herself six cents; she also went out happy, but the clerk looked as if she had cheated him out of six cents. I didn't have the heart to wait and see what happened to the next customer. The people of this and like neighborhoods should use discrimination in spending their money, and patronize them by kind whose whole scheme is to help every cent possible out of all who they come into contact with.

ALONG THE NORTH SHORE --- Big Brother Smith States Aims and Object of Worthy Organization Which Seeks to Better Condition of Growing Boys,and Girls of the Race. Big Brother Club Ready for the Holidays—Board Named—Prominent Citizens to Help. The Big Brother and Sister League of Chicago is doing a splendid work to help make better men and women of the growing boy and girl. It is a branch of the Illinois Children's Home and Ald Society, which is a non-sectarian Protestant children's home finding association, and is devoted to the welfare of the homeless and dependent children of this state. It seeks to befriend the "letovers" of the juvenile Court; to keep children from breaking the Famille Court; to give the dependent and neglected boy and girl an opportunity to accept a square deal through which they may extract themselves from an environment. Big Brother Smith said: There is a third class Afro-American who is generally known to the police, to charity and the lower courts as are other nationalities. Their children are often taken to the police and are often thrown into the streets with its bad environments, over which they have no control, to select their amusements and associates. Can you not determine the pressing need of the Big Brother and Slater League work among Afro-Americans in this city and state? There is an Afro-American boy and girl as well as any other race of people need the "Xmas ship," "the Good Fellow," "the Big Brother," and they are not so peculiarly constructed and especially adapted to withstand the pangs of suffering and worries any more than others. The condition which gave rise for the need of these agencies and their subject did not immune any of them, becoming a danger might be caught in the drage of poverty. We are devoting a part of our efforts along the line to prevent boys from entering a life of delinquency, as well as centering the other part of our efforts on saving those who are now leading a life. State streets from 28 to 39th streets, is the general playground for the Afro-American boy of this central district. There are only two doors practically open to, all classes of boys with whosemo environments for boyish pleasures and pastime, who are steadily feeling the dreadful sting of dependence and negation. We are needed for boys. Will you help? We are making an effort to get 100 men to pledge $1 a month or $12 a year to help the greedy expense of a big club. We expect to have our grand opening during the holidays. The auxiliary advisory board, Mr. Drew McCormick, will be with Mr. William Bell, Mr. Charles Washington, R. E. Moore, Mrs. Lloyd Steward. MRS.

You can easily have a good COMPLEXION by following a few simple directions. Before retiring, cleanse the face with soap and warm water, rinse in cold water, and after drying apply a thin layer of Savola. Allow to remain on over night. In a few weeks' time a complete renovation of the skin should result, as Savola gradually absorbs the wormout cuticle, leaving the skin soft, bright and beautiful. Savola has wanted a toilet cream of this kind, and now that the Savola Mtg. Co. are in a position to fill our wants, we should not neglect our complexion any longer. Savola is the result of years of study and thought, and the manufacturers have spent a small fortune in their efforts to solve this beauty problem. However, they are only charging fifty cents for a oneounce jar of this wonderful cream enough in one jar for several weeks' use.

DO TO HELP? Having Done Your Shopping Early, Help Still Further by Doing Your Mailing Early—Mark "Not to Be Opened Until Christmas." The tendency to put off the work of today until tomorrow is a human frailty, and the major number is very human. For many years we have shopping until just prior to the holiday and then we have rushed enmuse to the stores and been astonished and amused because we discovered that satisfactory service by reason of the gested condition brought about by everyone doing just as we had done. For several years a campaign of edu- cation has been waged. The merchants and newspapers have been interested to sound the toosin "Do your Christmas shopping early." As a result a larger proportion of the same result are each year doing their work in the same manner there is one phase of the Christmas ness that does not seem to have occurred to the general public, and that is to do their Christmas mailing early. The commercial houses, generally speaking, can readily secure the services of a number of temporary employees, and are thus enabled to meet the situation with some degree of success. The postoffice is entirely different from the postoffice are drawn by the civil service lists, and it is therefore not possible to greatly augment the force; and, again, the distribution and despatch of mail is skilled work, and only those can be utilized who have a knowledge of the operation and despatch. The acquisition of this knowledge requires from six months to a year. All of the men available are trained in advance to the limit of possibility, but, nevertheless, when a congestion such as the rain or a hurricane arises the speed of handling the mail is absolutely limited to the distribution. The men in the postoffice also work under an eight-hour law, and working overtime is forbidden. Work per hour is limited, and a period signed by an equal period off during the week. The distribution photos/lores or case room, is a definite quantity; and no more men can be assigned to distribution than there is room for on each day. The men in the postoffice of men follow each other in regular succession through the twenty-four hours the preceding set leaving as the succeeding comes on, it is obvious that the postoffice can handle only just as business as its organization provides. The Advantage of Early Mailing. Every merchant knows the work and worry occasioned by Christmas musics from attempting to crowd an abnormal service into too short a period, and for this reason the present crusade must be extended. If after doing the Christmas shopping early the great masses of people wail to mail their Christmas packages until the last moment the end sought to be reached, the personal inconvenience of the shopper is lessened, but as the purpose of shopping is to provide remembrances for loved ones and friends of the shopper, we seem logical that the senders of Christmas packages should desire that the packages get into the hands of Christmas before Christmas rather than after. During Christmas week of 1913 the Chicago postoffice handled over ten millions of packages. There are 1,500 letter carriers available for this work. The postmaster, who is the employer, clerks and carriers, which subjects them to a strain that is many, many times greater than that to which the most beaten shopper would be subjected. The postmaster day after day after day and night after night for a period of nearly two weeks. The postal service is pre-eminently the service of the people, and its success is dependent on a very great degree on the ability of the postmaster to the extent that the interested public is thoughtful and considerate in its dealings with the postoffice, to that extent an accurate and satisfactory service is provided to the capacity of the office as an organization, and to the endurance of the men as human instrumentities. While the general public is at home enjoying the Christmas day, the employees of the postoffice year after year work every Christmas day. True it is a matter to a degree insipable from their occupation, and, so regarding the postoffice, it is clearly cheerfully related to the duty to the limit of their mental and physical ability; but the postoffice, as the service of the people, is certainly entitled to a certain amount at least equal to that given the commercial houses at Christmas time. Christmas shopping is performed in 5,000 to 10,000 stores scattered throughout the city, these stores shopping among them the burden of the work, and the comparatively few individuals at a time; but there is only one postoffice, and the entire citizenship depends on this one postoffice to rehandle many times the parcels which they have purchased, and not only from the stores in Chicago, but Christmas packages arriving from all over the world. Many of these necessarily arrive at the last moment, and even after they have created a congestion so sufficient for the postoffice to deal with. Help the Men Behind the Scenes. In realization of this condition and in the interest of a satisfactory Christmas service the public is earnestly requested to do its Christmas mailing time, and endorsed with the legend "Not to be opened till Christmas." "Very many thoughtful people are al- ready sending packages in this manner, and they find that they reach their destinations in a better physical condition and in time to add to the Christmas cheer. The Chicago postal service offers a discount to afford the best possible service to the people of this city, and it may not feel that the people whom it serves are equally interested with it to bring about a condition which shall add to the pleasure of the giver, of the recipient, of the man who labor throughout the twenty-four hours behind the scenes in order that the Christmas spirit may prevail and that the Christmas may indeed be a merry one! So you can buy your Christmas shopping early! You mail them to "Do your Christmas shopping early!" CLEVELAND LETTER By Alexander O. Taylor. (Special to the Chicago Defender).

WOMEN BEST FITTED FOR EVANGELISTS Writer Points to Earnestness and Effective Work of Miss-Evantah Recent Revival at Quinn Chapel A series of revival meetings has just closed at Quinn Chapel. It cannot be disputed that no evangelist has ever before had such influence over the church. But Evans. Just a look into her face would convince any one that she was a consecrated Christian girl. I say girl because of her tender years. More—of our young people would branch out into real Christian work there would be so many more young people save from the slums. Miss Evans did what all evangelicals should do. She took a theological course and started out prepared to win souls. She saw how the young girls chung to her and how they seemed happy to be in her company. I thought of how different the intimacy was from what it would have been in many other occupations. I believe women who work in the church are more active work. Ms. Evans preached the gospel. She did not take up the time finding fault with ministers and churches. Not that they are faultless, but it was her mission to preach to the people and pick out certain classes to criticize. Everyone who heard her learned to love her, and on the last evening the people showed their appreciation by giving her a "shower" of money and money. Ms. Evans did all Miss Evans back in the near future. ST. MARK M. E. CHURCH. Rev. John W. Robinson, the pastor, preached a very pathetic sermon Sunday morning to a large congregation.

The pastorate will serve dinner all day Sunday. The choir and the Sunday school are preparing special music. QUINN CHAPEL CHURCH. Rev. Anderson occupied the pulpit on last Sunday.morning. He selected his text from the second epistle of Peter, twelfth chapter, fifth verse. "If ye do these things ye shall never fall." The whole Christian Life Assured." His whole intention was to convert, and was very timely and interesting. The revival meetings closed last Friday night, with a special meeting for converts. The church was crowded. Miss Evans, the evangelist, received members of the congregation and friends of the church in the form of a shower. She left Chicago Saturday morning for Cleveland, Ohio. Ninety-eight persons came into the church during her stay. The church and Sunday school are busy making preparations for the holidays. Every Sunday and Quinn church is moving on nicely.

The President and Mrs. Thomas Meyers in a most pleasing manner. The committee on decorations, of which Mrs. White Barnes was chairman, landed and secured many seasonable fruits and flowers, and decorated the altar most attractively.

The ment was of the finest, the foods were all tasty cooked, bonifieth served and everything went like clockwork. Mrs. Lough tendered Mrs. Lough a hearty and unanimous vote of thanks for her efficient and harmonious service. Dr. Carey, who has been ill two weeks and recovered, suffered, and was able to preach at both services tomorrow. ST. JOHN A. M. E. CHURCH *Prominent among the social events enjoyed in Englewood on Thanksgiving day was an old fashioned dinner served at the home of Mrs. Olp Oppenheimer, Mrs. Kate Rowen, one of St. John, and most highly esteemed members, was the dominant spirit and instructor of the affair, and allured all of her resources of talent, of initiative and business acumen to make it a brilliant, remunerative and novel experience. She succeeded was shown in the excellent report of money which she handed over to the trustees on last Sunday. Mrs. Rowen is to be congratulated upon the excellent manner in which she has succeeded in the ability to gather in such fruitful returns. Dr. Wilson and the trustees are indeed appreciative of this great help. For it will assist them greatly in continuing the work which they are so desirous of completing. And that is why studying of the present church building. Some subspecialties are still unpaid. Which, of course, impedes the progress of the work.

ANDERSON NAILS CAMPAIGN LIE IN INFANCY Opposition Circulates Report of His Withdrawal — Anderson Stronger, Than Ever — In Race and Will Go to the Finish. Former County Attorney Louis B. Anderson is growing so strong in the campaign for Alderman in the second ward, that already the opposition at 35th State has begun to manufacture lies. Those have a report that Attorney Anderson is to quit the race and that Mr. Madden, the congressman and maker of De Priest, has offered to pay Mr. Anderson's campaign experiences up to the point where he will withdraw from the race. When seen at Mr. Anderson's office Thursday by a Defender reporter, he said, "Great Scott, not!! On earth could manufacture such a deliberate lie!" Mr. Anderson, said the reporter, "it's up and down State street." "I wish you would say for me," said the lawyer, "that I am in the race to stay. The people who are going to nominate an Alderman have too much faith in me to stop now. The voters are rallying to me too loyalty and too nobility to think of such a thing." Mr. Anderson is the people's choice of the Second ward and from the enthusiastic spirit manifested by both men and women voters, he will be the next nominee of the Repeican man to be voted ward.

Bank of Chicago SUPERVISION North State Street GO, ILL. e 200 SURPLUS, $20,000.00 Commercial Banking Savings and Checking IMAGE YOUR THE CHICAGO DEFENDER JUDGE JOSEPH SABATH KNOWS NO COLOR LINE --- Account of Two Recent Cases Before Impartial Jurist Wherein Afro-American Citizens Were Adjudged According to the Law Despite the Prejudice Against Them. KISS MAKES GIRL FAINT. But Judge Decides That Earl Day Was Not Guilty of Unsolicited Osculation as Claimed—Mob Violence Not Tolerated in Chicago—Probation Officer Insulted Afro-American — Judges Needed. Two recent cases in Judge Joseph Sabath's court stand out as fine examples of even-handed justice so often found wanting in our local courts. The first is the decision in the case of a girl who was found guilty of street, vs. Earl Day. Day was accused by two young white girls of annoying them, and kissing Eddie Winter, the complainant, without her permission, and to the extent of causing her ox extreme sickness, fainting spells and nervous prostration all of which was found to be a sign of also listed occlusion at the hands of mouth rather) of said Earl Day. Miss Winter was said to have put on her fainting stunt In the toilet room of a saloon and cafe in the neighborhood of 29th and Cottage Grove Ave. The offense occurred on Nov. 5th, when she was dressed in a denise submitted at the trial, when the girls complained to some of their white professional cafe escorts who were on very intimate terms with said girls, their friend immediately began making threats and laying plimsolls on Day 14 when he came off watch in the evening. Lay in Walt for Day. When Day was relieved of his duties he fortified himself with his employer's revolver, remembering the threats that had been made to get him. As Day came forth the mob was lying in wait for him and began pummeling him with sticks, stones and bricks. The frenzied mob chased him for quite a few blocks when one J. F. Sullivan, 50 (52) Judge Joseph 'Sabath. a leader of the gang, succeeded in overtaking Day and was about to take him with a knife when Day arrived, and he was away, but the shot seemed only to increase his fiercely and he still pressed on and struck at Day with the knife, whereon Day fired pointblank at his left eye. He was left with left eye. Sullivan fell in the street and Day ran into the police station at 23th St. and Rhodes Ave. and saw him so sergeg. Rhodes and Jackson. Girls of Questionable Character The evidence at the hearing it was made very plain to Judge Sabub that the girls were of questionable character and in spite of the number of white witnesses against Day it was told that the judge was job being attempted on Day. It was shown Day was an industrious, home-loving man, with a wife and two small children. His wife, although a white woman, was the judge her belief in her husband's fidelity. Day denied kissing or attempting to kiss either of the girls and produced clean, reliable witnesses that he had been accused of kissing. Of times for being unscored, and this fact alone caused them to try and vent their anger in the disgraceful manner. Possibly they would have been accused of kissing, that the Judge was too big a man to take a hand in such a vicious piece of race prejudice. The Judge dismissed both charges; one of assault and disorderly conduct against Day. Accost Probation Officer. Another case of interest is one that occurred on Nov. 26 about 8:30 p.m. m. Mrs. Jessie Thomas, one of the most estimable women of the race and court, was accused near her home at 3319 Forest Ave. by a white man by the name of Michael Hayes. Hayes is an old man being about 60 years old. He told Mrs. Thomas that he liked her and was out with her. Mrs. Thomas told him to wait until she left her bundles at home and she would return and go with him. Mrs. Thomas returned all right, but she was accompanied by a nurse and Hayes, who was still waiting, was escorted to the police station. Acquainted With Prejudice. In court Hayes told the judge Mrs. Thomas acceded him and made the suggestive proposal to him and not he to her, whereupon Judge Sabbat fined him $100. Judge Sabbat said the heaviest fine he could impose under the law. Judge Sabbat has said color made no difference to him and his decisions in these cases have been unanimous. He also said race prejudice precluded any fought and he knew just how to adle it, as his race had also felt e sting of racial prejudice. Judge Sabbat is a Jaw. But there is need of an Afro-American judge or two. Hay's Hair Pomade is not a vase- inoc, but a real Pomade. It softens and straightens the hair and holds it place. Ask your druggist for Hay's air Pomade, or get it at the Crown harmacy, Stat and State streets. It's a real hair Pomade. Ask for it.

VALENTINE PASSES AWAY AT LONG ILLNESS AT HOME Well Known Citizen Is Buried With · High Honors by Fraternal— Sermon by Ry. Anderson Stephen H. Valentine died Friday morning, 29th, at 23 o'clock, after an illness covering seven or eight years with co-motor-axisor. For 20 years he lived in the street where he was well known to everybody, high, low, rich, poor as "Friend Steve." He always misgled freely among the community and the proud title he bore because of his affability and willingness to help all he met, particularly those less fortunate than him. No man or woman of the neighborhood ever got so far in his career. Steven failed to get within reach with his broad, beaming smile and a cheering, hopeful word.

NO FAVORITISM IN ESSAY CONTEST NO FAVORITISM IN ESSAY CONTEST Essays in Hands of Competent Judges, Who Mark According to Number—Papers to Be Read at Bethel Church December 20—Contestants Claim They Have Exhausted Their Efforts to Win Diamond Ring. Sunday afternoon, December 20, is fast approaching, when the fifth annual essay contest will be held at the Bethel Literary Club. The auspices of the Bethel Literary Club will eclipse any similar event held in Chicago in recent years, as all the literary and women's clubs in the city have been sent invitations to attend in bodies. The management is leaving no stone unturned to make this affair the history-making literary carnival of Chicago, and because of the enthusiasm and anxiety, already manifest it is felt they will not be decilled in their expectations. The Great Burley Girls' Chorus, under directions of Mine. Eudora Foster-Lockett; Miss Ethel Mull, the accomplished pianist; Miss Lillian Hunt, the popular organist of Bethel choir, and Mrs. T. A. Smythe, wife of the able pastor of Bethel Church, will render selections to give the proper symmetry to the program. Mrs. Irene McCoy-Gaines and Misses Lenora T. Curtice and Katherine Williams and Messrs. Cary B. Lewis, Frank W. Henry and Joseph A. Marshall will deliver the prize essays, giving their views on the Solution of the Race Problem in the United States of America." The prizes, a lady's and a gentleman's diamond ring for the successful lady and gentleman contest, will be on exhibition at Bethel Church Sunday. The essays have already been delivered to the judges, who met this week, when rating sheets and special instructions were given them. According to the rules, which were published in this paper in the edition of the book, which the contestants heartily agreed, the contestants named by the contestants. The contestants were instructed to submit typewritten copies of their essays, but to omit having their names attached to them. The essays were numbered so that the judges will handle them according to the numbers only. Because the writers of the essays will be known to the judges, this will prevent possible favoritism being shown on the part of the judges to the contestants. This explanation is being made not because there is fear of favoritism on the part of the judges, for a most competent corps of judges has been selected, but because there has been some reference made in one of the weekly papers of this city to "fixing the contest." This is not only unfair but impossible, and if the writer of that article would acquaint himself with the rules governing this contest, which have ruled in these columns, it would be quite apparent that the article would not have been written.

FAIRFIELD Death of Religious Worker Causes Genuine Grief in Alumni Circles—Registrar of Los Angeles Association of Congregational Churches and Ministers Highly Estimated (Special to the Chicago Defender.) Los Angeles, Cal., Dec. 4.—In the passing of Dr. Frederick W. Fairfield, registrar for a period of four years of the Los Angeles Association of Con- federation and Ministers for Southern California, the Afro- American people lose a warm friend and a former teacher, who for twenty- 3 The late Dr. Frederick Fairfield, who won regard of the race with his own fine principles and the example he set of worth and fidelity in many years' association in church and school. four years as professor and dean of the College of Arts and Sciences of Howard University, Washington, D. C., imbued the youth of that city with his own fine principles and set before them always an example of fidelity and intrinsic worth, writes Elbie Bibb Thompson in the Los Angeles Tribute. Retiring from the teacher's profession in 1907 on the Carnegie Foundation in Los Angeles, he took up residence in Los Angeles, devoting his energies until the time of his death to religious work and the building up of such organizations as the local Oberlin Alumni Association, of which he was president. Dr. Day Pays Tribute Dr. DAY Paye Tribute. In speaking of the work that Dr. Fairfield accomplished during his residence in the city for the Congregation at St. Joseph's Day, pastor of the First Congregational Church, said: "The coming of a few such men, with large abilities, so splendidly trained, ripened by wide experience and devoted to the great purposes of the kingdom, has served California and kept her nearer the true course during the period of beginnings. The Howard University Alumni Association of local Afro-American men and women in appreciation of the services which Dr. Fairfield has rendered to their race sent beautiful floral offerings inscribed with sentimental tokens other than Dr. William H. Groman, noted Afro-American educator, who has said: "I am thankful today for the pen of Lincoln and the sword of Grant, but more thankful by far: the patient pedagogue who taught the Negro his letters and set the million of us to reading."

FIDDICH NEWWOOD AAR COLLEGE OF NOTARY TYRICAL Cohort Program Awarded CHICAGO, IL. Automatic 72-746 Chicago, Ill. 6 E. 31st St., N. E. Cor. State Man's Timidity. Business never gets so no some men that they do going to begin to talk JOTTINGS THEATRICAL AND OTHERWISE. The third edition of the musical melange under the immediate direction of Tom Brown and Billy Johnson, took the form of a minstrel and did not pan out as successfully as their preceding offerings. In the first place neither headliner can successfully do anything outside of the legitimate arts, don't try to be and not so funny when they try. To put up anything new in the minstrel line is a very difficult task so they may be pardoned if their efforts fell a little short. Sergt. Callouletto did some very clever juggling on the slack wire and his act came in for deserved applause. Allen and Graves followed, with a neat singing and dancing style, Harry Gilbert, the older medicalian, responded to so many well deserved encounters that he ran out of material; he was unassuming but had a way of putting them over that was very effectual. The biggest thing on the bill was the Marlettes Marionettes, an elaborate Manken act. The setting was capital and the movements of the manikens were almost human; to say it wont big enough, it would be for the last half of the week was equally as attractive, the attendance was excellent. MATTIE WILKES' GOWN. Miss Mattea Wilkes wore a gown in the Pierot mistress that cost $1,000,000 and was made by landlord of Paris, France. The cost included the hosiery, headgear and slippers. It is a foreign importation with four shades of pink. In this gown she danced the tango at Moulin Rouge, Paris, and afterwards was entertained at dinner by Count Kistvetch. She rendered this week "When You Are Playing the Game of Love." Miss Rose Gordon sang beautifully "In the Wonderful Land of Love." SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA. Second Concert at the Grand Theatre Highly Appreciated by Large Audience In some respects the second concert of the Grand Symphony Orchestra did not come up to its initial success some days ago. The affair, however, Tuesday was largely attended but the house not packed as was anticipated. Mr. Wright Smith was the violin soloist and Miss Carolyn Boyd Lallerson made a decree of Mr. Olio Powers, Cross and Lamonia furnished a number. The effort for high class entertainment on part of the promoters is most commendable when one takes into consideration the fact that all the musicians are young men, none claiming to be stars or managers par excellence. The hearty support of the public is an evidence of its growing desire to stimulate merit where found. There should be more practicing among the players and know their musicality. The director. There was entirely too much talking in the audience when it was being rendered. who managers are doing their best to please the public and encouragement will follow their efforts. The program follows: March (a) "The Whip," Remick; (b) "Swain Ripples," Blaufus; violin solo, Mr. Wright Smith. Selection (a) "America Patrol"; (b) "When the Angelus is Ringing," Snyder; vocal, selected, Mrs. Caroline Boyd Lillison. Waltz (a) "Spring, Beautiful Spring," Lineke; (b) "Carolina Fox Trot," Vodry, Intermission. (a) March, "Plumed Knight"; (b) Overstreet perform, music selected; (a) Selection, "The Chocolate Soldier," Remick; (b) By request, "Soxet Rag," Alford; (a) Overture, "William Tell," Rossini; (b) March, "Thanks For the Lobster," Jones. Messrs. Perry and Foster are being congratulated for endeavoring to satisfy the tastes of music lovers. SUNDAY AFTERNOON CONCERTS AT PEKIN Sunday Afternoon Concerts with High Class Artists Tq Be on the Boards At Once Famous Playhouse—Hazel Harrison, Harry Burleigh, St. Claire White and Madame Hackley To Be Stars. With the beginning of the new year, the music lovers of Chicago will be treated with the richest and grandest concerts ever heard in Chicago, is the report from one who knows musically. It is said the real high class trained artists will be engaged to give concerts on Sunday afternoons or even on Saturday in the Paul Theater That such super talent misses Miss Hazel Harrison, Harry Burleigh, St. Claire White, Madame Azalia Hackley, Willie Tyler, Joseph Doughty, Patt Brown, Nathaniel Ditt and others will appear in recital. It is believed that the Chicago music lovers are just waiting for noted artists to appear and it will give hearty and artful effort. Many clubs of the city have urged that such concerts be given in the "Windy City." MME, FANNIE HALL CLINT IN GRAND CONCERT. Mme.

Remem- isa is the only moving pic the south side giving FOLK SONG RECITAL AT BOSTON, MASS. Azalia Hackley Gives Recital With Noted Artists on Program. (Special to Chicago Defender.) Boston, Mass., Dec. 4.—The folk lore concert given at Symphony Hall, Nov. 30, under the direction of Madame E. Aalex Huckleberry, of the Huckleberry Normal Institute, Chicago, Ill., with a chorus of 200 voices was the grandest of the soloists who were Mr. R. Nathaniel Dett, Mr. Clarence White, with quartets, sextetts, and arrangements of soulful folk songs. It was for the benefit of the Columbia Avenue A. M. E. Zlon church. Every number was rendered perfectly and it was a grand success. The Huckleberry is expected in Chicago the first of the year to give a similar concert for Bethel A. M. E. church. (Note: It will be recalled that Madame Hickley was the first African American artist to give a concert at Orchestra Hall in this city. It is very gratifying to learn that she is to return to our city—Mural Recorder). WASHINGTON, D. C. Washington, D. C., Dec. 4.—Almea Anita Pattie Brown writes from Boston that she may stop over at the capital, en route for her home in Chicago. The "Bronze Tettrazzi" has many engagements in and around Boston, following a tour of the Atlantic seaboard. She appears in New York City as the principal attraction of Walter P. Craig's famous Pre-Lenten Musical show, to be heard in Washington under favorable auspices just after that period. The Passing of the American Theater. There is a general feeling of regret over the untimely closing of the American Theater, the latest downtown playhouse acquired by the colored people. Messrs. S. H. D. Hudley and A. J. Thomas put forth every effort to modern management to make the many attractions, both as to vaudeville novelties and road shows and advertised liberally in both colored and white papers, placarding the shops and carrying "ads" in the daily bulletins found in all public places. The road shows were not enough of them to supply them as a steady die-dream; and the people did not turn out in sufficient numbers to make the expensive venture pay. Another feature that cannot be gained—and which contributed most largely to the unfortunate outcome of the Dudley-Thomas' enterprise—is the fact that the trend of the activities toward the northwest. The movement away from the Avenue and downtown for the U street territory has been going on steadily for the past ten years, and nothing can check it. The "jim-crow" methods of the white theaters colored the people of the habit of going down town for entertainment, and the manager who she must have seen and liked must carry the show to their doors, as it were. Had the American been on the site of the present Dudley Theater on U street, it would have been an instantaneous hit. It is not too much to expect that Mr. Dudley may yet be able to secure the property adjobing his U street house and creep into theaters in the country. A house there, seating 1,000 persons, would be a veritable gold mine, and Mr. Dudley is "Wise" to the fact. S. H. Dudley is a theatrical genius—another "Jack" Haverley. He always thinks in big figures and acts on a broad scale. He is in no measure cast down over the blow-up of the American. He will go on with the ever-widening Dudley Circuit and in the meantime he will play behind Washington will have another playhouse beautiful, like the Howard, and will place it where the people want it to be. The Griffin Sisters have decided not to continue at the Fairyland, which they had tentatively bargained to leave for Newark. They assume the management of the Odeon at Newark, N. J., which S. H. Dudley opened a few weeks ago. The Griffins are business women from their hearts and will win, if given half a chance. ON THE S. H. DUDLEY CIRCUIT Week of Nov. 30, 1914. Week of Nov. 30, 1914.

Miss Trinkle Davis, one of the most brilliant star cabaretists, has returned to the ever popular Richeleau cafe at 31st street. Miss Sallie Lee Johnatone singers her songs with variety and feeling and her gestures are good. In one or two instances illuminated the new era in entertaining. Then her denotation of the transitions from the classical to ragtime brings her in variety and she shows joy, charming enchantment, thrills and amuses the popular patrons. Help those little orphans as we strollers will do our best to help entertain generous Chicago. Your own race wishes to hear, you very much. I thank you in advance. Go on with the dance. Prof. Clarence Jones, the greatest symphony orchestra leader, will furnish the music. Don't forget, Mabel, at the Neptune Manor. Miss Trinkle Smith, one of the best comediennes on the American stage, will entertain on an extended tour. Who could resist that child distinctness? Mune, Fanny Mosby will be the Azsue in the great Ethiopian play Ahlah. She is one of the most whimsical prima domas of the race. So chic, you know. Well, simply a masquerade, she is. Miss Ruth Belmont of the Chateau Gardens, a distinguished, legitimate cabaret star, who interprets her songs in a certain wistfulness, a certain intangible something that makes for endearment among men and women alike. In this respect Miss Belmont may termed very dainty, well-pleased, but she will well do. Yet the beautiful child scores without apparent effort. The element of spontaneity is natural with her. That glible, playful quality makes one believable she is enjoying herself as much as her audience. Peter is either asleep or the Stroll is a paradise. She is the most beautiful of the piece of Queen of Sheba in the great Ethiopic classic play called Ahlah. Say Mule Bradford Chicken Trust Company plays Waukegan, Ill. Opera House. He is clever. Mr. Bradford is a song writer of note. His latest selection is "If loving kills me, sweet baby, let me die." Mabel, I wish I could sing it. At the De Lue Lafce the Georgia peach holds sway in her innocent and numbing way. How skillfully she places her songs? How illuminating is her by-play? How unvarying she sings in the key of her own character! She has a certain affinity ret stars should pause in their orbits and study this artistic light. A dream: She had a birthday. Must be very young as when a woman reaches a certain age ("they're" rait) quit having birthdays. You, understand? Very pretty, though. At the Mineral Springs Cafe the King of Piano Players gives nightly concerts to a very nice audience which I always find there. Now Miss Ethel Cole is pastel and lyrical and gives expressions of tender emotion. She is lamb-like and pretty and she has a quantit little way that is quite her own. Her delivery of her songs she displays a charming wit which percuired us at times. So dainty and handsome. Excuse me, de woods is full, Mabel. If you don't believe me just watch 'em pass on the Stroll. There are requisites and prerequisites; there are primary and secondary sequences to be fulfilled; but to hear Mr. Ollie Powers, the race's greatest tenor singer, at the famous De Luxe Cafe, is simply immense.

If money were as easy to make as it is to spend a delightful world this would be to live in, but unfortunately this condition does not exist. Many of us, however, do not realize until it is too late. The time to save money is now, and invariably there will come that provided rainy day when you will be in dire need of it. Chicagoans have learned the lesson well, as is evidenced by the great number of homes owned by them, and yet it is all practically of recent origin. Fifteen or twenty years ago the colored people owned by them, and yet it is there in the city, but today we number them by the hundreds, and all of this came about through the easy system of payments, and yet it is to be wondered why so many continue to pay high rentals when this money can be applied on a home. It is much better to take time by the oracle and start building a new firm of Fred K. H. Bartlett & Co. have a plan where you can make your rent money buy you a home.

VERSITY DEFEATS HAMPTON IN EXCITING GAME Home Boys in Splendid Form —Exhibit Brilliant Playing in the Very Start—Howard Played as a Unit—Charging of Line Superb. HAMPTON'S CLEAN GAME Score 6 to 0—Hampton's Line Did Fine Work—Great Crowd's 'Witnessed the Game—Kicking Duel Between Stratton of Howard and Jamerson of Hampton — Game Should Have Been a Tie—Captain Hurt Wrong Time. By C. T. Lunsford. Washington, D. C., Nov. 4.—Before one of the largest crowds that has ever attended a game on the University campus, the rejuvenated Howard University football eleven defeated the strong Hampton team by a score of 6 to 0 in a fiercely contested and a play that saw the team lose the question over the result. The better team won because it out-played, out-gamed and out-generalled its opponents during every moment of the game. From the very start of the game the home boys put the visitors on the defensive by their versatile play, and it was only a few minutes after that had started that the college boys had to off their feet and had registered a touchdown through the most brilliant playing ever seen on the campus. The Hampton boys played a steady clean game but they were out-played more decisively by their lighter opponents than is possible for the score to indicate. There were few chances the game when the visitors had a lookout and the exception of a few moments all the playing was done in their territory. The home boys played as a unit. The backfield worked with clocklike precision while the line never failed to open up a hole when called upon or to break up all plays directed at it. The charging of the line was superb, and several times the forwards broke through Hampton's line and downed the backs in his tracks. All the plays of the home team were fast and well judged. Their selection showed sound judgement of the speed of the backs was a revelation to the lookers, and made all effort of the slow and heavy defense of the visitors look weak and 'feeble. Hampton's line appeared very weak against this back held in the middle of the gridiron, but it always braced up under the goal and several times took the ball on downs. The result of the game told another story of a team with open football overcoming a powerful opponent with straight football. Hampton's chief plays were a mass play through center and an off tackle play; and as soon as Howard mastered these Hampont forward helpings, Spelman forward passes were attempted but failed. Howard, on the other hand, tried everything in open football, and how well she succeeded is best told by the score. Howard's best play was made through the center on a formation with nine men on the line. This play seemed to hypnotize the visitors. It never failed to gain five or ten yards. Spelman's Grimage went through center for ten yards and scored the only touchdown of the game. Penderhughes kicked off to Hampton's 10-yard line and Hampton returned the pligskin 10 yards. On a series of line plunges by Bender, Flint nint Jamerson, Hampton matched the ball on down the field and then lost the ball in the mid-field, and from here Penderhughes, Grinnie and Stratton began their march to the goal. A series of line plunges gave Howard her first down on Hampton's 45-yard line, and now a beautiful triple forfeit of 20 yards was made by Brice. Stratton scored this play was a marvel and was easily the feature of the game. Hampton seemed to be disorganized by this play for now Howard's backfield torre through the线 for long gains and placed the oval on Hampton's 8-yard line where it was taken over the goal. Grinnie in the next play through center. Penderhughes missed goal. Hampton came back strong after Howard's touchdown but · the home boys, encouraged by their success, played some remarkable defensive football and easily smothered all effusions of the ball. Now developed into a kicking duel between Stratton of Howard and Jamerson of Hampton, with Howard gaining at least five yards on every exchange. All the playing now was done on Hampton's territory and when the game was called the visitors were fled from Hampton's 26-yard line.

Nashville, Tenn., Dec. 4.—Fisk won from Morehouse College of Atlanta in the Thanksgiving game by the score of 7 to 0, thereby winning the all southern colored football championship. Morehouse was outplayed in every department of the game, only once early in the first quarter being able to advance near their 30 yard line where she was for downs. One of the largest crowds in the history of the game turned out to witness the contest. Morehouse had been undefeated so far this season, having won from Talladega, Tuskegee, Atlanta University and Morrisbrown. With a team averaging 175 pounds and exceptionally fast, it was generally conceded that the Fisk team averaging less than 150 pounds would do well to hold Morehouse to a close score. Few supporters believed that Morehouse would be held scoreless. Fisk brought into the field one of the best football machines in her history. Not only did every player play the game, but they seemed imbued with that wonderful fighting courage, known to the Fisk Spirit. There is nothing to lose in Morehouse team. To a man they played to the last whistle, but it was a case of a good team meeting a better one. Morehouse opened the game, kicking off to Fisk. Kaan received the ball on his own five yard line and by most brilliant, open field running, returned the ball to the center of the field. The next three plays netted 15 yards. Capt. Lewis standing on 45 yard line, missed it by inches. The ball was then brought out to the 20 yard line from which Morehouse by a series of line plunges and end runs carried the ball to Fisk 40 yard line where she was held for downs, thus ending the first quarter. Starting a series of line smashes via a successful end run, Fisk carried the ball to Morehouse line. Here on a delayed triple pass Lewis to Ford to Richey netted 20 yards. On the next play Lewis on a fake forward pass made 8 yards with only three yards needed for a touchdown. Lewis sent C. Wesley over center for the necessary distance. The ball was kicked out, Ford making a conversion the kickout into a goal, moreting the score Fisk, 7; Morehouse, 0. The second half found Morehouse on the defensive for the most part, frequently kicking on the first down. Fisk carried the ball to Morehouse 20 yard line but failed in two attempts at goal. The game ended with the ball on Morehouse 40 yard line. The teams lined up as follows: Morehouse, Positions, Capt. Lewis, Capt. Brock, Q. B, Capt. Lewis, Lewis, F. B, Bright Jackson, L. H. B, C. Wesley McKay, R. H. B, Ford Harris, Center, Sexton Carter, R. G, Wade Dickson, L. G, McVey Weaver.....L. E....Kean Officials--Referee, Cameron (Fisk); Umpire, Washington (Walden); Head Linesman, McAllister (Morehouse). ATHLETICS AT T.IE The first demonstration of the business men's class on Thanksgiving day was a success from every point of view. Most of the men in the class are over 5 feet 10 inches in height, and in their white duck uniforms presented the lordly air of imperial guards. Their drills and apparatus go good, and handdish championship match between Tucker and M. S. C. Jackson crested a good deal of excitement among the ladies. They were astonished to see two large men cover territory so fast and with so much muscular control. It took so long, however, for Mr. Jackson to win the first game, 21 to 14, that the other game or games of the two-out-of-three match will have to be played next week. The basketball game went over, class and the men's class game were called a grand finale. This was the first clash between the two classes. The final score was 25 to 5, with the business men wearing the smiles. Mr. L. L. Stone, boys' work director, went to Rock Island Friday morning with James R. Bell, Carl Saunders and Eugene Burdette, who are to represent the Wabash "Y" in the State Older Boys' Conference at the Rock Island School. The high school boys' team was defeated by the high school boys of the Emerson Street department of the Evanston Y. M. C. A, last Friday night 55 to 10. Our boys are determined, however, to bring back the laurels on New Year's day, when the Evanston boys come here to play.

LEILA STUBBS TO HELP Join The Chicago Defender and Help Create a Spirit of Charity—Help the Wildons, Orphans and Poor—Ministers' Preach It—Clubb, Practice It—Make Xmas Happy for the Little Folks. By Cary B. Lewis. Another year has rolled around and Christmas upon us, or right next door. Last year THE CHICAGO DEFENDER started a campaign to help the poor, the widows and orphans. It aimed to create a spirit of charity for the race. Last year THE DEFENDER held the race to remember the sick at Providence, the girls at the Phyllis Wheatley Home, the ladies at the Old Folks' Home, those at the Soldiers' Rest, and this was done with a spirit that brought forth blessings from the recipients. There is more happiness in giving than receiving, and above the Christmas carol should ring the ultraticism emanated by the Master: "It is more blessed to give than to receive." The Children of Plenty. Thousands of children in this city will spend a merry Christmas day and will awake on Xmas morning to see their trees loaded with toys, shoes, stockings, sleighs, coats, dresses and many other valuable gifts to make them happy. Not only are their parental able to do for them, but friends of the children also folls, and further increase their joy by gifts from at home and abroad. What of the Poor? What of the poor? Just a few blocks away there will be a family who will not know of Santa Claus—whose parents, by misfortune, are poor. They have a widowed mother and several youths to feed, coal and fuel to buy. They will not have a Christmas tree, not even a piece of cake or turkey or mince pie. The question is, will you not join THE DEFENDER in helping to arouse a spirit in the bosom of a good man and woman and club member? Or will you help this day of days? Can you forget the warning of the Master: "Except you become as a child, you shall no wise enter the kingdom of heaven?" The Defender's Appeal. THE DEFENDER appeals to the citizens of Chicago to be more generous to the poor children this year than they were last year. When you make your Xmas purchases remember some poor relative or less fortunate family. Miss Leda Stubbs, a graduate nurse of Provident hospital and a well-known social worker, will work in conjunction with THE DEFENDER and will be prepared to furnish names and addresses of those in need for those who feel disposed to help. Money or an aid will be received at THE CURIOUS JOE DEFENDER office or Provident hospital, the headquarters of Miss Stubbs. Let the Clubs Help. Every week THE DEFENDER will publish these names of the clubs or individuals who will be a GOOD FELLOW between now and the holidays. This paper, which publishes weekly free of charge items of interest of the social clubs, calls upon them to help. At your next meeting won't the following club members enrich themselves in spirit and receive the "+" sign: being charitable; "+"safari; Jolly twenty; Aurora Leaf, Book Lovers, Rosary Social, Ideal Women, Bethel Literary, Standard Literary, Appomattox, Billiken Whist, Fred Douglass Center, Philomathian, Progressive Negro League, Eureka Art, Saturday Afternoon, Sigma Dota, Tuskegee, Colonial, University, Ways, and Means, Poinsettia, Men's Civic, Negro Fellowship League, Alpha Suffrage, Gaudeen College, Negro College, not report to the club column? THE DEFENDER will do its part. Will you do yours? ```markdown ``` PHOENIX, ARIZ By A. R. Smith Phoenix, Ariz., Dec. 4.—The Phoenix Forum held a very interesting meeting today and a large crowd was present. We would like to see the Forum become a potent factor in unifying the race and from all appearances it bids fair to become such. We would like to see the vicinity are marveling at the rapid progress being made by Afro-Americans here. In spite of the drawbacks with which we always have to contend, and in the face of much opposition, the Afro-American citizens of Phoenix are pressing onward and upward, buying land, improving some, paying little attention to those things accumulating wealth. * * * All readers of The Defender were well pleased with the stand taken by it in the Wilson-Trottter incident. The paper is making friends and supporters here for its publisher. * * * Mr. Paul Green, whose bar shop was destroyed by fire a few days ago, has re-opened for the season. Mr. Greenes is a strong supporter of The Defender and will not let the agent as without depriving limb of one or more copies. Keep the good work up, Mr. Greene, the agent wishes there were more like you. On Monday, Mr. Greenes will give a violin instructor at University Conservatory of Music, will give a recital at the A. M. E. church here. We predict for him a record breaking crowd. * * * Never before in the history of Phoenix have our people had the opportunity of hearing such a distinguished musician and we have seen themselves of this opportunity * * * all the news that is fit to read, you will find it in The Defender.

Every line north and south is a feeder to this line, and the officials can conserve the best interests of everyone by putting sensible and trouble men in these cars. No Troublesome Other Cities. It is surprising to chronicle the fact that a number of able-bodied men would sit idly by and see a defenseless woman assaulted without going to her rescue. There were no weaklings on that car, physically speaking, because the waiters and other employees at the Chicago Beach, Windsmeire and the Hyde Park hotels, belonged other people, who were district, necessarily use the Forty-seventh street line, and some of them were on that particular car. This unfair treatment of our race of people at the hands of an ignorant class of another again brings to mind the experience of those cities where the street car employees are made up of men of all races. The brutal treatment of women is unknown, and the employees, coming in close contact with each other, soon protect each other. In many things Chicago is way behind the times. AFRO-AMERICAN DOLLARS FATTEN VULTURES. (Continued from Page 1.) ton along that line, and there should be a concerted effort made to force recognition. While I do not advocate a boycott on any individual concern, I do think that by curtailing our expenditures with them that we might awaken a dormant conscience here and there, and gradually get results. There is no excuse for those places to be able to exist in this district without their making it an affair of mutual benefit, and the most positive way to bring results is to hit them with a punch, a walk, or by refusing them our patronage, even though it should inconvenience us. it can be done, and I am of the opinion that if the effort is strong enough, there will be a vast change in the personnel of help seen in certain stores and shops in this district.

Four years ago Mrs. Blackshier, having accumulated $500, made the first payment on a little cottage, worth $2,000, on East Fifthth street.

Hats Attract Actress Hats Attract Actress. The hats worn by the leading lady in "Ready, Set, Go!" bank theater and those worn by the seventy-five or more members of the Gaiety company, playing "A Stinkbun Cinderella" at the Morosco, are designed and constructed by a young Afro-American woman of the city, Miss Estelle Everett, but 24 years old, the daughter of a lawyer at Laborey, formerly located at the Majestic Theater, started business two years ago with a stock of twenty-five ready-made hats. Her engraved invitations sent out during the semi-annual exhibits reached a leading lady of one of the local theaters, who was so impressed that she not only has engaged her for the last year or more to design her own hats, but has recommended her to some of the most prominent actresses of the city. Miss Everett's success has attracted the attention of an entertaining modiste in the Honneville theater, where she has entered into partnership with the former, the firm realizing a goodly income from its theater trade.

Five Reels for 5 Cents at North and West Side Houses, While South Side Charge 10 Cents For some reason or other, the popular "Movies" sometimes called "nickel shows," can not be so termed on the south side. Investigation this week shows that all of the north and south sides have five reels for 5 cents. On the south side conditions are different, with one exception. Ten cents is the popular price and, strange to relate, many of the proprietors of the south side houses also operate theaters on the north side.

One of the features of the service was a special musical program by the indices. Rev. Good of Calvary Baptist Church, autumn assembly given last Monday evening. November 23, at the Owls' hall, 418 West Superior street, was a delightful affair.

The Southern Settlement and Development Organization which was recently formed, proposes to send three representatives to Europe with the hope of sending to the United States a number of Belgian farmers who have been forced by war to leave their country. This organization has arranged to care for new settlers by providing on long term payments land, houses, implements, seeds, fertilizer, one horse, two cows, twelve chickens for each family, and household furniture, and provisions for six months to a year. For the first year no interest need be paid. This project is supposed to have the hearty co-operation of the people of the South. Consistency thou art a jewel, but unfortunately those below the Mason and Dixon line wear very few jewels. For years and years the Afro-American has tillled the southern soil and is responsible for what little progress made there. Working as he does under the most trying circumstances, taxed without having ground, down to the very lowest ebb, his political, social and economical rights flung to the winds, yet he slowly but surely rises day by day and not many moons will pass are he becomes a power. What has the southerner done for a people who have made it possible by the sweat of their brow, for them to live in luxury? Gave them a kick whenever the opportunity presented itself, and when none presented themselves gave them a kick for good measure anyway. Now these unredeemed pledges wish to import foreigners to slave for them, offering them every financial inducement, in fact, making paupers and wards of them, while the people to whom they owe practically their lives are thrown into the discard. There is something radically wrong with these near-rebels and since they are in the saddle at Washington they are puffed up like a toy baloon. They forget that even the point of a will burst their air castle and it might be well for them to realize that the Afro-American is getting to be nearly as sharp as a pin. MURDERING FOR PASTIME.

THERE IS EVERY REASON TO BELIEVE that his tanic Majesty has a number of thriving branches of his winterort scattered throughout the cotton growing states. That hisents are apt scholars and chips off the old block is evidenced by the numerous and dastardly deeds chronicled almost daily to theircredit. Accused by a mob of burning an old delapidated barn, FredSullivan and his wife, living six miles from Bythalia, Miss., were hanged by a mob near the scene of the alleged arson. The deputywho had them under arrest made an unsuccessful attempt toprevent the lynching, but was overpowered as usual. The chief ofthe internal regions could not have conceived anything more dastardlythan did these understudies when they permitted the four-year-olddaughter of the victims to witness the lynching. And gentle readerthese two souls were sent into eternity without a moment'swarningthey were suspected—not convicted—of having set fire to an old barn. Whether they did or did not matters little, someone had tosuffer and the nearest black face must pay the penalty, and thepunishment invariably overfits the crime. Why we are not the mostbitter and vindictive race in the world is a conundrum. If weexacted a pound of flesh for a pound of flesh perhaps we wouldbe better off. The day isn't so far when the North will again wakeup to the fact that the South is getting a little beyond itself andadminister a rebuke that will be effectual. The taunt that "theSouth is in the saddle" doesn't set very well with the liberty lovingpeople and may prove a boomerang.

Recently a young man was arraigned in court for annoying a young white woman by sending her notes and other missives of love. The judge after imposing a heavy fine is credited with having said to the culprit things that would have done credit to a southern cracker. The young man to use the vernacular of the street, was either "a little off in the upper story" or was encouraged by the girl, and it is hard to tell which one was most at fault. Of course, the court leased toward the side of the girl and that is just and proper. It is not an uncommon thing to see mashers standing on our street corners annoying every good looking young woman who happens to us. There is nothing more despicable a young man or young either for that matter can practice, than this promiscuous there is but one thing that can come of it—evil. There is as an innocent flirtation save that it be of very short stranger who meets your fancy can in most cases upper way. If the young women who are accosted by would take the calls to call an officer and have der arrest, the practice would soon be broken up. PUBLIC HEALTH IS THE MOST VALUABLE ASSET OF A COMMUNITY. It is astonishing how little the most of us know even about the care of our own bodies. It has only been within the last few years that active measures for the spread and prevention of disease has been taken by the city, state and national authorities. Chicago has a very efficient board of health and under the guidance of Dr. George Young has done yeoman work. It is said Afro-Americans are more susceptible to the ravages of tuberculosis than any other people, a statement that is not borne out by statistics, but however, we know intelligent treatment at the inception of what is generally termed coughs and colds, would lessen to a great degree the ravages of the "white plague." The Chicago Tuberculosis Institute is making a tremendous fight in stamping out and in the prevention of this dreadful malady. A branch of this institute is one of the features of the Provident Hospital Dispensary. Every Monday and Thursday afternoons from fifty to one hundred sufferers come and receive free the most scientific treatment. Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams, the only real authority in this line the race has, is in attendance. To carry on this great work which means so much to every individual, you are asked to buy Red Cross Seals at a cost of but a penny apiece. These little seals do a wonderful work throughout our nation in stamping out and preventing the dread disease of tuberculosis. Buy what you can, the cause is a worthy one. MORE CLOTHES, LESS GIRL. THAT TURN DAME FASHION question that is racking the brains of the little brains they have. Between the brains and the modistes, they lead the faction they will prescribe that the gowns be very often construed to mean to the of the wheel finds them advocating short is carried to extremes. The sieve the X-Ray came into vogue only to be less modest. Whither are we drifting garb worn by the late lamented Eve is there to be a halt in this foolish in the present time, surely a woman can not display her entire form. We we associate the feminine sex with modistes they were the ones to whom the male sex What a wonderful transformation has occurred especially. Women are fighting a line of endeavor, nothing can be said Can it be that the contact has no mothers and fathers are shocked at, and they could not be accused of When it comes to real modesty the spun on the gentler sex but upon their bread of fashion whims to the convex pleasure to look upon things that are armed is sometimes revolting. Let us have less girl. ANY RECEIPTS have been written in Enthusiasm as being the three essences in an individual in proper proportion result in that delightful concoction which, and which once tasted is never found. How many have made a careful and out how many of these essential failure in business, profession, trade and lack of these mile posts. All about us the world calls failures or the real reason for a superous store keepers operating in the way they did not employ members of our people were depending on our people without hesitation. "They are unreliable they could not be depended upon. Then whether this is true in part or in which storekeepers evidently tried a few habit the other side have fallen into their own race, find them incompetent, our members of their own race more doesn't work both ways—but it does find it today. The remedy is, to indispensable that your employer feel Be as skillful in your line as an artist is in his. Study yourself and fit you takes one who is willing to work, act the obstacles, the knocks, the turn do success for you does not necessarily m accomplish more than others have done of today you are in advance of yesterday courage, in confidence, you are a sure impressed upon the mind of each one instances the whole race is judged by thought alone should spur us to doing and sixty-five days out of every massed and we are glad of it. The day are doubly glad. It is up to us to JUST WHAT TURN DAME FASHION WILL TAKE NEXT is a question that is racking the brains of those in the giddy whirl—what little brains they have. Between the designers of women's gowns and the modistes, they lead the fadists a fast gait. One season they will prescribe that the gowns be cut very low, and that word very is often construed, to mean to the waist line. The next turn of the wheel finds them advocating short skirts and again this word short is carried to extremes. The slit garment had its day and the X-Ray came into vogue only to be followed by another design less modest. Whither are we drifting? Are we to return to the garb worn by the lated lamented Eve in the garden of Eden? Or is there to be a halt in this foolish indecent mode of dressing of the present time, surely a woman can look neat and dressy without displaying her entire form. We were taught from childhood to associate the feminine sex with modesty, culture and refinement, they were the ones to whom the male sex bowed down in reverence. What a wonderful transformation has taken place in the past few years especially. Women are fighting their way to the front in every line of endeavor, nothing can be said now to be not woman's work. Can it be that the contact has made them less modest? Our mothers and fathers are shocked at the manner of dress of today, and they could not be accused of having Quaker views either. When it comes to real modesty the spotlight must be turned not on the gentler sex but upon their brothers who have stuck regardless of fashion whims to the conventional all-over clothes. It is a pleasure to look upon things that are beautiful, but beauty unadorned is sometimes revolting. Let us have more clothes exposed and less girl. SO MANY RECEIPTS have been written about Honesty, Persistence, Enthusiasm as being the three essential ingredients which, if mixed in an individual in proper proportion and constantly stirred, will result in that delightful concoction which we are all so anxious to taste, and which once tasted is never forgotten, namely—SUCCESS. How many have made a careful analysis of themselves to find out how many of these essential ingredients they possessed? Failure in business, profession, trade and in life can be traced to the lack of these mile posts. All about us can be seen men and women the world calls failures or near failures who offer every old stereotyped excuse except the real reason for their condition. Recently prosperous store keepers operating in the "Black Belt" were asked why they did not employ members of our race in their stores when they were depending on our people for a living. The answer came without hesitation. "They are unreliable, we have tried but found they could not be depended upon. They lack business training." Whether this is true in part or in whole is open to argument. These storekeepers evidently tried a few and judged all by the few, a habit the other side have fallen into. They employ members of their own race, find them incompetent, discharge them and hire other members of their own race more competent. It's a poor rule that doesn't work both ways—but it doesn't. That is the situation as we find it today. The remedy is, to make yourself so efficient and indispensable that your employer feels he cannot do without you. Be as skillful in your line as an artist, an author, an actor, a surgeon is in his. Study yourself and fit yourself into your business. It takes one who is willing to work, actually work, to succeed. It is the obstacles, the knocks, the turn downs that prove your worth. Success for you does not necessarily mean heading the list, or in accomplishing more than others have done. If you are progressing, if today you are in advance of yesterday, in ability, in enthusiasm, in courage, in confidence, you are a success NOW. Let it ever be impressed upon the mind of each one of us in the majority of instances the whole race is judged by our individual actions. This thought alone should spur us to doing our level best three hundred and sixty-five days out of every year. The day of sympathy is passed and we are glad of it. The day of worth is at hand and we are doubly glad. It is up to us to make good. We can do it. THE BUMLETS. HER DAY A FEW ladies discussers by well dressed young men day AWFUL, and that the ladies should order any circumstances, for it only ener and waste more time loading, which reading or learning some art, which returns in future. They are too neated BUMS. So she said, "Ladies, fro BUMLETS." A more appropriate to THE OTHER DAY A FEW ladies discussing the standing on street corners by well dressed young men day in and day out was SIMPLY AWFUL, and that the ladies should not return their salutations under any circumstances, for it only encouraged them to stand longer and waste more time loading, which they could put to better use reading or learning some art, which would bring them in some, returns in future. They are too neatly dressed, she said, to be called BUMS. So she said, "Ladies, from now on you may call them BUMLETS." A more appropriate term to our way of thinking could not be coined in any language. TWENTY DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS. If you haven't done your shopping don't put it off an other day, not only is it more inconvenient but the price of things gradually increase, to say nothing of the great boon early shopping, is to the tired saleslady. FEW THINGS CAN NOW BE EXPORTED, but that doesn't mean that Americans can buy things more reasonable on account of the surplus. Oh dear no! What would become of the poor trusts? EVERY BALL HAS IT'S DAY, first it was the baseball, then football and now the mothball, but "Uncle" does keep our overcoat so nicely during the summer months. IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH YOUR BOSS tell him so and perhaps he will find some way to keep you from coming in contract with him so often. THE MEXICANS ARE STILL FIGHTING. We just mention this in passing for fear it might be overlooked. We are now acustomed to 'the full skirt and the more, the shiny that they are in favor by the way in which they are worn. We are not quite so short not quite so short as the models of the early season and a less wide, but still wide customized to the full skirts and what is more, it is shown that they can be favored by the way in which they are worn. They are short, but not quite as short as the models of the early season and less wide, but still wide Eva Simpson. enough. The skirt which has proved the favorite so far is quite close fitting at the hips and fares in a circular fashion at the hem which is often obscured. The skirt now worn seldom exceeds two yards in width and usually measure somewhat less than that, especially if intended for street wear. The narrow skirt was too satisfactory and well liked to be discarded at the end of the sale we have accepted the wider skirt we have accepted it with reservations. Very pretty are the pleated skirts, especially if the pleats are arranged so as to fall straight to the ankles. A model recently exhibited showd the pleats falling from a boloer waist to the ankles, being finished by a wide sash. As a whole the pleated skirts have not proved such a success for they are somewhat cumbersome; nor has the ruffled skirt except in lace, tulle or some delicate material; the lace is often made of a thin material that makes one charmingly gowned. The tunic still prevails; not the tunic of last year, however. Many of the new tunes are open-fronted, that is open about four or five inches across the front. They are quite long, almost touching the hem of the skirt. Many tunes on display have been made of velvet over a satin or cloth underskirt. Cloth is sometimes used for both tunic and underskirt. Both, by the way, are much in evidence. One of the most popular models shown the early season was of black cloth. Such a coat not been so much in demand for years. There is to be much green worn this winter also red, olive, all shades of biscuit, grey, grey and of course, white is always good. Dark blue for some reason is not as much favored for the winter as in the early season. FUR AND ITS USAGE: Fur coat themselves vary greatly in styles. Many of them are short and straight. Those to whom this style is not becoming choose a long and flaring model rather closely but have to wear a fur coat for the long, loose, flaring coat as it is very useful to wear over one-piece frocks. There are so many styles to choose from that everyone may be suitably jacketed this winter; -you have only to take your choice and pay your fee. An abundance of fur is being used for trimming from the tailored suit to the evening gown. The high close collar of fur is seen on many tailored frocks; if this style parasists it is unlikely that fur boas will be worn. For the tailored one-piece frock, the sleeves are invariably long and are banded at the wrist with fur; if one is handy with a needle they can purchase bits of fur at a very low price and make themselves a collar and cuff separate so as to wear them with any The neck piece and muff are known by this name. This season the colors are very small and of the tailored variety but the muffs in contrast are huge. Very effective are the barrel muffs, the fashionable of fitch, of the finer muffs, of the finer muffs, and Hudson seal are trimmed in a striking manager with talismens earl. MILLINERY. It is hard to judge which is the most favored the toque or piece hat, as both seem to be much in demand, but the toque is the most flattering, while the toque remains stylish. A model recently exhibited was of taupe velvet, the crown was slightly fulled from under a deep band of velvet corded on the upper edge. The crown was trimmed with white lace and was trimmed to the right side of the front with a cluster of lace leaves. A black velvet Spanish sailor hat was preferably trimmed with leaves twisted, one stem about another, and the crown is trimmed to the right. The scarlet velvet sailor or toque is trimmed to advantage in black velvet bands on the sailor, and the black velvet lily is being much used. Very pretty is a black velvet turban trimmed with white lace and a scarlet lily. Scarlet trimming is to be very popular during the season. Black and white predominate; good looking is a white satin sailor with black Fantasie. Single light, tips, pompoms, Paradise, velvet flowers and foliage are used in profusion. Have you ever thought of having a gift box, in which gifts could be placed from time to time suitable for an emergency for Xmas, birthday, etc. Now many young ladies that have such but they call them their hope box. Especially in these weeks before Xmas does the average woman of limited means reach her brains in an effort to buy a money, extend over the various relatives and to whom she must give presents. Even during the course of the year there are often times when there is a call for an unexpected gift of money, extend of ready money to provide for it. The woman who is fond of embroidery can save herself on end of worry by beginning at once to fill her gift box with an embroidered collar or guest towel to a handsome centerpiece or doilies; the latter would answer: the requirements of a wedding present, as there is no bride who would not welcome a piece of handsome linen for the table. You would be surprised at the progress made when only a few minutes each day are spent in sewing. Anyone who makes it a practice to have always at hand some "pick up" work will readily agree. You will make acceptable gifts at all times, and there are innumerable patterns to be bought that require very little work yet, produce so good an effect that it is a pity not to EDITOR,S MAIL EDITOR,S MAIL The Chicago Defender, Nov. 25, 1914 The Chicago Defender, Chicago, Ill.

November 24th—(Defender's Legal Helps). If a person rents a flat from month to month and finds that the flat is undesirable and moves five days before the end of the first month is it necessary to give the landlord thirty days' notice? The laws of Illinois designate as to how and when a landlord must give notice in such case, but it does not require the tenant to give any such notice. November 27th—(Defender's Legal Helps). Can a purchaser of land who has made a part payment on the same and received title by deed, and who has given a note and mortgage to sell the property for purchase price and finding himself unpaid, can the payment for said property and who refuses to pay any further taxes or insurance or make any improvements or move from the premises, be compelled to vacate the premises in order to secure foreclosure? I hold the mortgage and note and must do something at once to protect my interest in the property. Answer.—There is no remedy except foreclosure. THE BLUE GRASS STATE Home of Beautiful Women, Fast Horses and Fine Spirits Brought Into the Limelight By Hardin Tolbert Rent Your Rooms. Why have you a vanat room in your house when a small classified "ad" in The Chicago Defender brings the right kind of roomers? Try one. have one or two always for work at odd moments. However, the gift box is an excellent gift for others for cheap and ends outside the realms of sewing. One continually comes across bargains of one kind or the other and without knowing just what to do with them at that particular moment passes them by, only to spend three or four hours accumulating that they required for Xnax. Speaking of bargains, I do not mean to buy them merely because they are cheap but a little looking ahead and a little judgment will enable the shopper to accumulate savings that chases made, at a very little cost and considerably before the time they are needed. Books, pictures, jewel boxes, buckles for slippers, shoes trees, trays, mats and dozens of other things can accumulate, saving a great amount of time and trouble later, when they will be needed.

HARRIS This is the season of the year in which we are likely to have a great prevalence of the gripe, cold, pleurisy, pneumonia and other infectious diseases, due to bad air and unhygienic conditions. It is commonly call influenza, is a very common disease; it is widely distributed and rapid in its extension; it is due to a specific micro-organism—the bacillus of Plethora. This makes it important that the bacillus is found in large numbers in the bronchial and nasal secretions. Forms. INFLUENZA occurs in five forms, often difficult to diagnose. THE RESFIRATORY FORM is that type in which the air passages are largely the seat of the trouble; there is a catarral inflammation of the mucous membrane of the nose, throat and bronchial tubes, much coughing, and the mucous membrane of lung tissues may become involved and result in lobular or bronchial pneumonia; and, where la gripe is preceded by tuberculosis, the inflammation of lungs is aggravated and made worse. THE GASTRO-INTESTINAL FORM is that type which affects the stomach and bowels. It is often accompanied by loss of appetite—no taste in mouth; there is nausea, vomiting, severe diarrhea and fever. Collapse often follows this condition. THE RHEUMATOID FORM is that type where there is great aching in the bones, lops, chilly sensations, sensations of hot and cold, "one moment freezing and the next burning up." There is much muscular soreness. The slightest touchful to the flesh. One feels as though he had been besten and fread upon. THE NERVOUS FORM is that type in which there is severe headache, pain over eyes, great weakness and prostration. The brain and covering of brain may become involved.

In advancing this new movement Mr. Steward writes as follows: "In support of this motion, which you have been kind enough to entertain, I wish to advance the following reasons. And first let me say, in spite of what the publishers say, I believe a magnificent set of books among the American plebe of this country, and my motion is based upon this belief. I propose to demonstrate the fact that a demand for books does exist. When we get the attention of the class of people who have both the money and the inclination the books will sell as readily as they would, we have such a class. My motion is to call upon all those who are leaders and shapers of thought to arouse and strengthen this class, that bookselling may become an important business among us. In pushing this matter, however, we have looking far beyond the business of books, for real literature developed among this great body of uniquely placed people. NO CASES ARE DIAGNOSED AND NO PRESCRIPTIONS GIVEN IN THESE WEEKLY ARTICLES wear in great hurry, us disorganic at we distrib- menta or acute insanity type have been known to follow the nervous THE FEBRILE FORM—This form, the fever type, may suggest or simulate typhoid or malarial fever, because of the chills, fever and sweats. There is great weakness and prostration. This type may continue for several weeks. Complications There are often many and varied complications which may occur during the course of the lattice: Oltia media, inflammation of the middle ear, nephritis or Bright's disease, endocarditis, inflammation of the inner lining of the heart, and great prostration. The echiloid form is often followed by successes in various parts of the body, especially the joints of knee, elbow, ankle, bones of the foot, etc. Treatment. LA GRIPPE is no disease to be treated with. As stated above, it often seriously condition the heart, the brain, mental condition, Kidneys, bronch and lungs. The first thing one should do is to house himself, with absolute rest in bed; modified, suitable diet; not drinks, but not alcoholics. Do not use preparations—such as various headache remedies, drug stores—and various gripe cures, because you do not know what form of a gripe you are suffering with. The main thing for you to do is to rest in the house and in bed. Do not for your physician and follow his advice, or take care of cleaning your bowels, giving soft liquid diet, and tones and stimulating baths. Prolonged rest and change of climate may be required to restore you to your standard efficiency. The secretions from your nose, the discharges from the respiratory tract should be burned, disinfected and destroyed, as so as not to infect others. Remember at all times that la gripe, through its discharges, is infectious or catching, and you should not endanger the life of your family and neighbors. As long as Afro-Americans write with one eye on the white buyer, or with a view to white readers, he is not making literature. The writer to do more than just writing is must, thousands of own who are able to read his book. He must recognize himself as the mouthpiece of his people, giving forth their feelings in expressions which they will welcome, or in expressions which they will dislike, a constituency there can be no author, I am a preacher, and have lived by my preaching for over fifty years, living happily and well. Why? Because I have always had a congregation. Afro-Americans are so deeply connected to the living voice, and will willingly give out their money to this end. We want to find the same response now to the written word. We want the words to be as well through the eyes as well as through the we believe they will. In reading what has been carefully and thoughtfully written they are themselves co-operating in getting the mastery of thoughts we have millions of readers. We want to read readers. But as my time is most out I must close by saying, that for 1916 it is the plan of this motion that every family, every single man, every woman shall buy at least one book from the pen of an Afro-American writer." SIGNS OF THE TIMES It is really surprising to note what a large number of the older members of Chicago's social set who are at home with the youngest demand for the latest dances by the younger members of the various social organizations is responsible for this interest by the other ones, as it means that the older members are a wall flower at the dancing parties.
