She is in charge of a corps of 500 nurses of variegated nationalities and a zone in which she has been engaged in the work of mercy as "the little coral."

Somehow one sister was taken back and the people couldn't be shown that her freedom had been bought and it was then Amanda Smith went to work in the kitchen for a dollar and a half a week until she had repurchased the gift from the chains of bondage.

JONES, FRANCES A.—In loving memory of our dear mother, who passed away five years ago today—March 5, 1910. Gone, dear mother; gone forever; How we miss thy loving face; But thy face we remember None on earth can remember our place. From her loving children, Nelda Hansbrough, Albert and Frederick Jones. Most Refreshing Color Green is the most 'refreshing' and restful color for the eyes. It is nature's favorite color—and the inferior of the human specialists. It is wiser than the human specialists. Cause of Bad Manners Pride, ill nature, and want of sense are the three great sources of ill manners; without one of these defects no man will behave himself ill for want of experience of what in the language of fools is called knowing the world.—Dean Swift. Daily Thought Love is better than spectacles to make everything seem great. Optimistic Thought Nothing can be true pleasure which brings repentance. --- Hotel Pullman 3639, 3641, 3643 S.

A big lunch will be served, with plenty of ice cream and lemonade. Following the big lunch there will be baseball and many other outdoor sports engaged in that will bring pleasure and happiness to the youngsters. A number of Chicago's popular young misses will be donated their services for the day and will serve the Defender's guests. More Boys Wanted. There is plenty of territory not yet reached on the north, west and south sides. There is plenty of room for more boys to sell the Defender. Any boy who can save a few dimes and report to this office Friday night or Saturday morning early can find a ready sale for the Chicago Defender in any part of the city. It requires only a little shopping and a good way to start a route is to call those people in your neighborhood, tell them you are a school boy and you would like to bring them the Chicago Defender every Saturday. Boys Have Friends. The boys have friends. This is evidenced by the encouragement given them by business men and people living in flats. Many women seem to delight in spending a nickel with these little fellows to help them in their struggle while in school. Several poor boys have found people who had old shoes and they could use, while others did not, the needs of their widowed parents, the help has been given. Boys wishing to the Defender honor roll call at the office, 1150 State street, Friday night on Saturday morning. Mrs. M. A. Johnson of St. Paul, Minn., and her mother, Mrs. Virginia Taylor, of Minneapolis, Minn., have been visiting in New Orleans and many other southern cities for more than two months, came through the city last Saturday and remained until Sunday. While here they were the guests of Mrs. B. G. Cowden, 3637 Dearborn street, her life-long friend, and her sister-in-law, Mrs. W. T. Johnson. East 35th street. Many dinner parties had been arranged for them, but being late leaving the South, they didn't have time to accept any of them. Mrs. Johnson is willing to take up her residence in Chicago in the late spring, which will please her many friends.

AMERICAN GIANTS Enroute South on Their 10,000-Mile Training Trip—Defender Reporter Goes From Springfield. to See Foster. By Alonzo Leath. St. Louis, Mo, March 5—Rubo Foster, who is leading the Glants on their annual trip across country, is anxious to get his men down to hard work as soon as possible. On board the Daylight Special, which steamed out of the kitchen, he was joined by m. m. were the following well-known faces: Petway, Jenkins, Wickware, Duncan, Gatewood, Earl and your correspondent. Earl Foster, son of the noted leader, accompanies the team as mascot until they reach the home of the older in Texas. Manager of the team, he is regarded to training, as all of the men were not present. So they spent the day talking about old times and smoking the pipe of peace. Bruce Petway, the noted backstop, kept one of the lunch basket all way to St. Louis, much to the amusement of all concerned. On arriving in St. Louis at 6:02 p.m. the party were met by Charley Mills and a few of his faithful followers with three limousines and whisked out to Keystone Cafe, Lawton avenue and Compton street, where he been prepared. Noah Warrington was smiles when he walked in and spied Rube. The demonstration reminded one of an old-time home coming. When all had gathered around the festive board Joe Hewitt, star shortstop of the old St. Louis Giants, appeared with two youngsters that intended to star on the 39th street ground and was worthy of the mention as an indefender with Omma last season; Whitthom, whom I learned very little of, looks rather promising. Naturally the budding diamond star aspires to be a Mathewson, a Walsh or a Walter Johnson. A splendid chance he has, just past every milestones, McNear, who had the lead in the 39th street ground, Leland's Chicago Giants, made up the trio who departed with the Athletes for New Orleans. After spending the last part of the evening as the guest of the Hon. John Shaughter of Milwaukee Charley Mills had the gas wagons cranked up and escorted the happy boy to the station, where he was greeted by the Crescent City, Hill, Prince Barber, Pierce and Hutchinson will don American Giant uniforms in the southern metropolis. To Springfield for mine. ARMOUR HENDERSON GOES TO MOHAWK GIANTS Armour Henderson, former captain of the W. H. Thompsons, local baseball nine, with a victory of thirty-three wins, one and three games lost, and C. L. Scott have been signed by the Mohawk Glants of Schoenectady, to manage the team this year, was in the team this week and signed up these two promising youngsters. Armour was born and raised in Chicago and played his first ball at the Keith school and is known by all the amateur ball fans in this city. He traveled with the old Columba players as a mascot. He piloted the Delta when they were unbeatable in a series of games. Last year he piloted the W. H. Thompson through the season and won a name for himself. NIGHT SCHOOL FOR BLUE GRASS STATE (Special to Chicago Defender) (Special to Chicago Defender) Shelbyville, Ky., March 5—This city has caught the educational spirit of the state and introduced a night school. Prof. Saffold is principal and the schools have given their services freely. The school is in session Monday and Wednesday nights. The ages of the scholars run from 24 to 63 years. Mrs. Mayne Stone Roman was seen by a Defender reporter and said: "You were taken to the interest the interest taken in learning by the beneficed age. Such a system will prove beneficial among the race of our city." WHY NOT A FEW WOMEN ON THE POLICE FORCE Why the delay in the appointment of Afro-American women on the police force? More than a year ago seven or eight successfully passed the civil service examination but up to date none of them has been appointed. The officials have long since recognized the good of astute women in the city, and it is hard to understand why other nationality is at work except the Afro-American. William Hale Thompson and Robert M. Swetzer are to be asked to rectify this mistake in the event of their election. MRS. WM. BUCKNER ILL. Mrs. Wiliami Buckner, wife of the enterprising agent of the Chicago Defender at the Palmer house, has been quite ill at her home, 3722 Federal street. She had an attack of in gripe, but is now improving. Quite a number of friends called to see her and wished her a speedy recovery. MRS.

She was quite surprised to see the young girl, who was left the city 12 years ago. She is in the hair culture business in her city. Educational Limitations A small boy asked his father the meaning of equinox, and received this answer: "What in the world do you go to school for? Don't you study mythology? An equinox is a mythical animal, half horse, half ox. The name is derived from the Latin 'equine, horse and ox'. Dear me, they teach you absolutely notbing that is useful nowadays!"—Atchin Globe.

The distinction which the possession of land used to give is still exemplified in the titles of *landlord* and *landowner*, and in the colored washwoman, for instance, who insists on the term "lady."

Pierre de Callaux, Hugh Buchanan and W. Tyler's Musical Selections. The recital at the Appomattox Club on last Sunday was highly appreciative. A large audience was present. Mr. Caillaux is a master of tonal gradations, dynamic contrasts that are both significant and romantic. His selections were: *Pilgrims* *Chorus* Were: *Women* *Chinellehine*, Rachmaninoff, W. Mr. Wiley is known to all Chicago as a violinist with high technical attainments and whose saeciality is broad and commanding, while his interpretative ability is such as to cover many phases of the violinist's art with ease. Mr. Tyler's group comprised Dovark's Humoreske and Schumann's Traumreier. M. Enso Oddrick's selections, Villanelle Dell'Orso and his brother Sposr, were excellently rendered. Her personality lent itself admirably to place and the people, and she channeled one and all by her grace, as well as the evident delight she took in sharing with her audience her art. Mr. Hugh Buchanan is one of Chicago's favorite singers and one of whom one always expects pleasure and is not displayed in his work in good form and displayed in how harmless contance voice of extremity can be a fairly good range. His "Morn" and "Wake Up" was delivered with spirit and a good interpretation which demanded a recall.

Calls Hereelf Musical Missionary— Never Happier Than When Giving Free Instructions In Voice Culture to the Poor of Her Race. By Eloise Bibb Thompson, Contributing Editor. Los Angeles, Cal., March 5—Mme. E. Azalda Hackley, soloist of international reputation, has recently arrived in Los Angeles from Paris, France, where she has been engaged as a conductor and instructor while advancing her own interest in musical lines. An American by birth, the greater part of her life having been spent in Detroit, Mich., Mme. Hackley has been trained musically in some of the best conservatories in the country, the Denver University College upon her degree of bachelor of music, and supplemented this work by several years of study in Paris and London. Mme. Hackley finds delight in giving free instruction in the art of breathing and singing correctly to the colored people of every town in which she performs, for two or more weeks. The Philadelphia mete, reviewing the work that Mme. Hackley has accomplished for the spiritual, moral and physical development of the masses of her people, has said: "Mine. E. Azalia Hackley has not only been the leading vocal artist of her race for many years, but she has been its authority on voice culture." Mme. Hackley prefers to be known as a musical missionary. Although financially dependent upon her voice, she has used her income from this source toward developing and correcting vocal conditions among the people, particularly at the various places that her also invaded territories, seemingly hopeless in musical appreciation and has succeeded in arousing real enthusiasm and study, especially among the young people. She believes that the proper study of voice culture will help children spiritually, morally and physically, and that this study will also cause a general knowledge of other refining techniques of the culture will correct the tendency to bernulosis and other diseases, because it teaches the value of fresh air, the care and cleanliness of the body, and it gives accommodation for the idle hour. Thousands Instructed. When she enters a town for a professional engagement, she visits every school for the purpose of giving half hour to hour lessons to the students. As many as 1,000 have been taught at one time, and one day over 2,000 were taught between the hours of 9 and 3, with 1,000 having been taught 10,192, nearly 40,000 people were instructed in this manner. Mine, Hackley has considered no sacrifice of strength, of time or money too great for the accomplishment of the task which she has undertaken. Hackley Foreign Scholarship, which has allowed two young men in their musical studies abroad and has been the means of so students in this country. The demand of colleges and sch for vocal teachers who understand special needs for the children of South, has been so insistent, the Mme. Hackley has opened a norma and vocal institute in Chicago, the session beginning in June and closing the first of February. At the close of the institute in February, Mme. Hackley usually goes to other cities to organize choral societies and free voice culture classes and in addition to give experience has proven, is the only way to reach and to educate the masses of the people. ```markdown ``` Although compelled, because of her physical condition, to take advantage, for a short time, of the invigorating city of southern California, Mme. Hackley will portion of each day during her residence in Los Angeles to voice culture demonstrations and free class work, is expected that Mme. Hackley will visit Los Angeles during her present stay with one of her splendid song recitals. NEWS AND GOSSIP OF THE FRATERNAL WORLD Mr. J. I. P. Street, Master of North Sturge Lot No. 57, U. B.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER THE HOUSEKEEPER In these days of high prices and at this season of the year, when the appetite must be coaxed and the system decocted, the economical, scientific and artistic housewife is the greatest woman in the world. She reduces the cost of living. She plans before she buys, and buys just enough. She reads the market quotations in the daily papers, and gets honest supplies at honest prices, and is content with the vegetables and fruits as they mature. Everything her family eats is prepared in her kitchen, and all is so prepared and utilized that there is no waste. The housewife also enters the crusade to reduce the death rate. Everything in the kitchen is clean and sanitary. She knows that appetite and proper food at the proper time are as vital to man as the air he breathes. By careful thought and skill the most homely dishes are so seasoned and dressed that they are delicious and their very odor creates an appetite. The constitutional weakness of every member of her family is known and what he should cat. Many sick spells are checked by her various diets. Into whatever field of labor our women may go, and whatever her social duties, she remembers that her first duty is to manage the cooking of her home. White Bread. (Two loaves.) Material and amounts: Yeast, ½ cake; milk, 2 cups; salt, 1 tablespoon; sugar, 1 tablespoon; lard, 1 tablespoon; flour, 6 cups.

Beat until smooth and full of bubbles. let rise 20 minutes; add enough flour to make a stiff dough; knead 20 minutes, when the dough will not stick to hands nor 'board', and will be smooth, elastic and spongy. Let rise three hours at a temperature of 75 degrees, when it will be double in bulk. Shape into even leaves, using no more four, but lard on the hands; place into the dough, one hour; place into hot oven, to keep rising any more; gradually cool oven to moderate heat; hake 60 minutes. Whole-Wheat Bread. Whole-wheat bread is used for diets because the whole-wheat flour contains more ash and vitamin, making a more nourishing and health-giving bread. Persons suffering from stomach trouble and wasting disease should feed upon it. In fact it would be better for our health if we could cultivate it. Material and amounts: Yeast, 1 cake; milk, 1 pint; water, 1 pint; salt, 1 tablespoon; whole-wheat flour, 6 or 7 cups. Method: Dissolve yeast in two tablespoons of tepid water. Place milk and boiling water into bowl; let stand until lukewarm; add yeast, salt, and whole-wheat flour enough to make a batter that drops from spoon. Beat 15 minutes; add flour enough to make a soft dough; knead 20 minutes; let stand for hours; mold into loaves; let rise until doubled; bake 40 minutes in moderate oven.

(The Ohio State Journal.) Editor Ohio State Journal: Is it not significant and suggestive as well that the very first award of the Sigma-garn medal of achievement goes to a mere school man? From clippings we have at hand concerning the winner, his field of elevated or honorable human endeavor, which was preceded by the magna cum laude of a reputable American college, was solely confined to academic routine in scientific research work. We note such terms in describing more fully what he accomplished: Physiology, laboratory, biology, zoology, morphology and scholarly scientific investigations, etc. There are scarcely any of these subjects that absorb more than a mere passing interest of anybody outside of the student himself. His critical ability is rewarded. But it is all his. The general scholarship of mankind has in no particular way been advanced. Perhaps it would be more graceful for me to inquire whether or not it is claimed for the winner that he has made the world of science or letters more fruitful of good to mankind? It is not generally felt that the colored race lacked ability or even superior attainment in mere scholarship that made it necessary now for one of our number to "make the highest achievement during the year 1914" in mere "critical ability", as a professor of physiology. We have many other man in the field of medicine, both in scientific and medical, whose services to mankind have merit and worthiness by far when considered in the light of real human good. Is it what a man knows or is it what a man does that counts for most in the advancement of a people? Nineteen fourteen was peculiarly a year of race movement the world around.

Pond, one of our most distinguished citizens, was marshal of the thousands white men and women were in the public and all the schools were closed.

The Three Weber Girls, acrobats extraordinary, were first to show on the bill here on Monday night, and presented several new features which went well. They were followed by Brown and Hodges, the Indian singing and cartooning act. This is a novelty act which always makes good and entertaining music, and appealed to intelligent audiences. Miss McKenzie and company in a tabloid labeled "More Ways Than One," was fair and mixed a good deal of good singing with a good deal of punk acting. George Hughes put out a clever line of talk that took nicely, and the bill closed with Harrison Stewart and conceived a song called "Fun in the Bustback Party." This piece was probably the best thing offered by the old Pekin favorite, and was a continuous bunch of laughs from start to finish. Among the acts seen here the last half of last week were Housely and Nicolas, the famous team of comedy musicians who have been seen here before, and the group they offer being right up to the minute. Morton and Wilson are booked to show in the near future. The Pekin. Business continues good here, and the features booked are of a high class. Among the offerings that drew big during the week were "The Midas," "The Adventures in the City," "Shorty's Adventures in the City," "The Craven," "In the Tennessee Hills," "Craft is Love," "A Farewell Dinner," and "The Speed King." Sunday brings "The Boundary Line," a feature in two reels, and several others. The Monogram. The popular team of Wells and Wells was seen here in a new act this week, which includes a boxing bout which is a scream. They put their comedy over in great shape, their Miss Hayes, vocalist, does well and sends several popular numbers which bring the hands, and brown and Pinkey, the best sister team in the country, are making their usual hit. Henderson and Wise are great, and are probably the classiest act booked in the past. In fact their work would be better appreciated on thus of a higher grade. The Phoenix The billing here this week has proved popular. A feature has been offered daily, aside from the regular booking, "Broncho Billy's Sentence", which was shown on Monday, drew large, and was followed during the week by "The Sagebrush Gal", Alice Joyce in "The Leech", Francis X. Bushman in "Dear Old Girl" and "The Accounting", and the last number and name of the Dollar Mystery. Sunday brings the show Star Feature Company's "C. O. S.", a sensational four-reel drama, and others. The Lincoln. "This cozy little house has had its usual run of business during the current wee. Among the features seen in the room are the "The Vandrey Jewels," the "Master Key," "Terrors of the Jungles," "All Aboard," and "Wolves of Society." Sunday's sensual drama "Voice of Wolves" and "The Fox Trot," and several others. The Fountain. The bookings have all drawn well here this week. Ruth Stonehouse in "Lieutenant Governor" was shown on Monday, and was followed during the week by Her Weakling Brother, "The Cabaret Singer," Carlton Kings in "Tracked by the Hounds," "The Master Key" (last number), and Thomas Sanstich in "His Fighting Blood." Sunday Charley Chapman will come here as a street comedy called "The Prophet's Dream" a scream; also "The Shanghailed "Baby" in three reels, and several others. The Washington Daily matinees were inaugurated here on Monday, March 1, and the attendance has been above expectations. Monday was "ladies' day", each lady being admitted free if accompanied by a gentleman. Among the features shown during the week were the Lady of Grace (Lady Last Scout) Grace Cunard in "The Girl of the Secret Service", Charley Chapman in an Essanay comedy of two reels called "His New Job", Kathy Williams in "The Vision of the Shepherd", Jess Willard, the white hope, in "The Heart Punch", Mary Fuller in "My Lady High and Mighty", "The Master Key", and King Baggott in "The Little Engineer", the billing of "The Mature Queen" and "Teleactive", "The Madee Queen" "Temptation", and "Greenbacks and Redskins." The States. The "Twenty Million Dollar Mystery" drew immense houses on Monday. The bill this day also included "Peanuts and Bullets," a twoelite Keystone comedy, "Exploits of Elaine," "Smuggled Diamonds," "The Wolf," "Mashed," Runaway June," features the house shown the first half. Thursday is a return by popular request of the great twelve-reel feature "Cabriba," and the house was packed to capacity the entire afternoon and evening. "Rods of Wrath" followed on Friday. Saturday Annette Kellerman in "Neptune's Daughter," which showed downtown at 25 and 50 cents, was the feature at 25 and 50 cents, the first time it has ever been shown that price. Sunday brings the wonderful five-reel feature, "The Fairy and the Wolf," and others. Theater-goers Interested Theater-goers were greatly interested in the report that there is some probability of a beauty contest among the ticket sellers at the剧院 along the Stroll. Mrs. Marie Parker of the Grand, Mrs. Hazel Gatewood of the Monogram, Miss Helen Green of the States, Miss Cassie Whitaker of the Lincoln, and Miss Daly Ranson of the Washington are among the pretest grids of Chicago, and such a contest would create quite a friendly The Star Big houses have been the rule here this week. The billing has been of the best and included "The Governor Maker," "Master Key" No. 12, "Resultat Kerrigan" and "The Kerrigan as Torrence O'Rourke in "The King and the Man," "Hunting Big Game," "On Desert Sands," and other features. Sunny brings the game to the screen, in there great murals; also a screamingly funny Keystone keystone. The Atlas Business has continued fine during the week, and the fact can easily be understood after considering the excellent booking, which included Mary Putter in "My Lady High and Mighty," and Anthony in "A Woman's Impulse," "The Universal Weekly Review," "The Governor Maker," "Cancelled," "The Master Key," "On Dangerous Ground," "The African Diamond Consipacy," and "A Woman's Debt." Sunday brings the sensational indulge drama, "The Adventure of Hanna," "A Gentleman of Art," "The Treasure Seekers," and others.

"PLEASANT SUNDAY CONCERT" ENJOYABLE Dr. Charles E. Bentley Delivers Able Address on the Late S. Coleridge Taylor—Carrol Dickerson a Feature. The Defender wishes to offer its congratulations to Prof. James Monday and Dr. Smythe for the delightful Scheme of attending at jithel once a month. We had heard much of these delightful and inspiring gatherings, but we had not had the pleasure of attending one until last Sunday afternoon one of our representatives, finding that he had a little time to spare, stepped in to see if there were as they have been described, and he came away elated and inspired. The selections rendered by the well trained choir were almost perfect, and the other numbers on the program, including the address, "Coloridge Tay," the Bentley, the reading by Miss Porton, the singing by Miss Lee, the pipe organ solo by Miss Pauline Lee, and indeed every number was up to the highest expectation. Among the choir selections was one entitled "Strong for Christ," words by Dr. Smythe and music by Mr. Mundy. The words and music are of a lofty charm, and the style is beautiful and easy. It was well received by the audience enjoyed by all. We have with delight the opportunity given to Chicago musical and literary people to spend an afternoon once a month in such pleasant surroundings at so little cost. Beth's Pleasant Sunday Afternoon. We take our hats off to Prof. James A. Lester, Smythe for the delightful musical Sunday noons which they are giving at Bethleh church to the people of Chicago. Last Sunday was the third musical of its kind, and whatever may be said of the former ones, that of last Sunday was all that could have been desired. The church was almost crowded and the dance enjoyed every number rendered. The playing of young Mr. Carroll Dickerson of the West side was the feature of the afternoon. As a violinist he is making rapid strides and his rendition on last Sunday is evidence of wonderful possibilities. There was his in playing and also Miss Lee, and artistic temperament was the singing of Mrs. Clara Hutcherson, "Infantamus" was the closing number by the choir and it was rendered well. FRENCH TEACHER PRAISES MISS ROBERTS Says She is Singer of Rare Merit and Great Future and is an Agreeable Linguist—Writes From University of Paris. Chicago, March 3, 1915. Editor Chicago Defender: Dear Sir: Without doubt it is too late to speak again of the recital given by Miss Maude J. Roberts at Lilburn almost a month has passed, and in this busy city it is old news and people do not care about old news. But while, for instance, we can refer to a good work of a writer, a musician or a painter, we can refer to what is left of the beauty of the street voice of a singer is but a distant echo. It is for this fact that we wish to write you and endeavor to bring about a new occasion to applaud Miss Roberts. For we cannot afford to forget her, and we cannot catching charm which fluttered that evening on her inspirilip. A more authorized person can tell of the qualities of the art and technique showed in all her singing. What we wish to express is our surprise and our appreciation of the concert. It is not common to even great artists of worldwide fame to be able to articulate well in singing. Most of the time the literary part of a composition is lost. But with Miss Roberts we had the opportunity to stand well every word. And such a perfection as hers in the word. And such a perfection as hers in the word. And such a perfection is hardly achieved, especially in a foreign language. With what soul and spirit did she particularly "bonjour Suzon" and what the heart "Le Meilleur moment des Amours," we all remember it. The daintiness with which these French songs are filled has been successfully attained by her. And we conclude that she is a singer of rare merits and great future, but besides an agreeable lingual. In her line she is bound to do honor to her race. In giving this concert and by the achievement shown, Miss Roberts decidedly took the inducement, before the public, to accomplish a great thing, and it is only by reason of her success that she will be able to judge if she is making a success and give satisfaction to those interested in her future and to the public at large. JUSTIN ANTOINE, French Teacher. Bachelor es-Letters, Universite de Paris, France. Franklin's Secret The great secret of succeeding in conversation is to admire little, to hear much; always to distrust our own reason, and sometimes that of our friends; never to pretend to wit, but to observe that others appear as much as possibly we do; and often to what is said, and to answer to what is Benjamin Franklin. Daily Thought I seek no thorns, and I catch the small joys. If the door is low I stoop down. If I can remove the stone out of my way I do so. If it be too heavy, I go around it. And thus every day I go to teach which gladdens me - Goethe.

Not Always Their Own Idea. "Do only reason some folks take day deprivation," said Nina, "unless Uncle Eban, "is dat day read in a book dat it'd do wrong thou to do." THE CHICAGO DEFENDER Did you ever experience the sensation of hearing yourself physically described by another who did not happen to know that you were within earshot? If so you may have heard yourself pictured as "that short-legged man with the scraggly gray mustache, you know." You may have been pained or amused; it all depends upon your sense of humor or the fitness of things. But do not despair at your portrait. Just listen some time to a pair of men when one of them is trying to recall to his companion a third individual, the latter seen perhaps only once years ago by the auditor. The gentleman is likely to skate the shaded area in a few bold strokes, something like the following: "Oh, sure you remember him—the fellow with long yellow teeth—he parted his hair near his ear and he had a scar on his chin!" "Now, Iow, you remember the other at this piece of graphic description, and then adds his own touch: and with a little chap who stuttered and big spectacles of tortoise shell!" And the interesting question it brings is up why do people, generally speaking, remark defects and slang lattices rather than perfection and beauties? A man with long yellow hair, a man with a noble head set upon his shoulders, and a beggedged chap with a stammering tongue might have had a Greek profile and an artist's hands. We are assured that beauty is everywhere, yet people seem to take particular note of the ugly. No doubt it is easier to see the ugly than the beastiness in humanity, but why take the easier way? Transit of the Human Voice The sound of the speaking voice must be transformed rapidly into heat if it is to be heard distinctly. When the sound persists the echoes overlap and the acoustics of a room is faulty. By measuring the tones of the voice in a lecture room of Harvard university, which were first audible for five and second for ten, Dean Salute of the graduate school of applied science changed the materials in the room with reference to the factors of reverberation, interference, and resonance or "echo" with pronounced success. An important article by him in the Journal of the Franklin institute concludes as follows: While these several factors, neverberated, and echo, in an auditorium at all complications are themselves complicated, nevertheless they can be complicated of an exact solution, or, at least, of a solution as accurate as are the architect's plans in advance of construction. And it is entirely possible to calculate in advance of construction whether or not an auditorium will be good, and, if not, to determine how much contributing to its poor acoustics and a method for their correction. The mails from home had just been received by a certain regiment. Not only were there letters, but many parcels from relatives and friends at home. One of Tommies received a large box addressed to himself, and with a triumphant yell he rushed off to his company's lines and gathered them around him to share in the cagely anticipated contents of his box. One of Tommies unfolded the wrapping. "From the old man; I know it. 'An' there sure is to be a bottle or of Scotch." He opened the box, gave one look at the contents and collapsed in a heaf. "What is it?" cried his comrades, pressing around. "It's from old Aunt Mary," groaned the disappointed warrior.

The latch key on a ring ordinarily is the most difficult to find, particularly in the dark, but if it is attached to the ring it will come out right side up and ready for use. A chain saves the annoying experience of reaching home only to discover the keys have been left behind. You do not like to carry a chain, an extra ring may be attached to the important key in place of the chain. It is then easy enough to find the ring among the keys, even in the dark, and on getting hold of it, a slight shake brings the desired key into position for use. Bad Physical Sign. The sudden cessation of pain is often as bad a sign as its beginning. In appendicitis or some other acute inflammation of the right side of the abdomen sudden cessation of pain may be of the gravest import, particularly if not associated with a corresponding drop in the temperature pulse rate. Under such circumstances the index of gangrene or rupture of the arm or of a breaking down of the barrier between an abscess and the general peritoneal cavity.

Finding Key in Dark Bad Physical Sign Charity. Giant Leaves Seven Hundred People Heart Famous Singing Society on Stormy Night—Dr.Barton Says "Tipperary" is Race Melody and Startles Club and Audience The following article is reprinted from "Oak Leaves," Oak Park's leading weekly, issue of March 27th, and will no doubt interest Chicago music lovers: So "Tipperary," the song written by an American, that Tommy Atkins sings as the melody warrior, is a Negro melody, after all. And the Ball" and "A Hot Time in the Old Town," favorites of Spanish war days, are in the same class. Dr. W. E. Barton so informed the men's club members and their guests at the First Presbyterian church Monday evening. And the 700 men and women, including visitors from other churches, who beaten to hear the Umbrian Glee club and Dr. Barton, sat up and took notice. President Hill made a strike when he engaged the Glee club and Dr. Barton's entertaining and instructive talk on "Characteristics of Negro Melody" fitted admirably into the program. Negro music, said the doctor, is marked by rhythm, of it much simple in conduction, but on a five-scale level the Negro product was more complex. The speaker illustrated by singing snatches of Negro songs, showing a range of only four notes. He had the audience help him sing: "Ezekial saw the wheel Way up in the middle of the air, and the diversion kicked the crowd, bringing suggestions of the first sing- less lesson. But not all Negro melody songs are so beautiful. If it is intricate and shows marked genius. The principle of syncapion is happily used by the Negro. Often it expresses a heartbreak or a sob, but sometimes it voices a much up- to-date song, as by such well-known folk songs, a man. "My God delivered Daniel" And he'll deliver me" This same musical idea was found in "The Rosary" and then Dr. Barton declared it was carried a step farther and was embodied in popular rag-time airs, such as those referred to at the outset. The musical program was a delight. Theatrians cultivated singers, equal to the musical, but the more "in the spirit" when singing the good old-fashioned plantation songs. Richard C. Kelly was the conductor. "Oleander," a Negro love song, by Charles Pierce and the aroused much enthusiasm, and the soloist had to sing again. Another favorite was "Ma蜂蜜," by A. A. Brown, given in rich bass voice and with dramatic calls to the musical, and the soloist had to call for more and Mr. Brown sponded. "The Negro Sermon," by A. J. Childress, the folk songs, "Keep Me From Sinking Down." "Every Time I Feel the Spirit," "O Rocks, Don't Fall on Me," and "Don't Let Nobody Turn Ye Turn." were other high spots in the evening's enjoyment. J. W. Fisher, a member of the club, made a graceful little speech, explaining that he was given the work of Negro composers. Dr. Barton was thanked for his address and was elected an honorary member of the club. President Hill explained that the flags used in decorating the platform were supplied by F. L. Rosbach, whose wife is the founder of the New Future association. The work of that charity was presented briefly by Mrs. Babcock, one of the directors. C. MME.

QUITE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO PROCEEDINGS. One Way May Not Be Exactly as Interesting as the Other, but It Can Be Made Far More Satisfactory. "Of all laziness!" Ellen Hillis exclaimed. "Lying in a hammock, staring at the sky, at nine o'clock in the morning! What wouldn't I give to be a lady of luxury?" Luxurious to be staring in a hammock at nine o'clock in the morning than to be calling on your friends at the same hour!" Isabel Truett lugged, puffing cushions into the most comfortable plaza chair. "But I came on business—you might have known!" "And I was working very hard, as you have known!" "Working. Ellen scoffed, sinking in to the cushioned chair." "I don't believe it." "But I was. I was trying to decide whether to get a black hat trimmed with blue or a black hat trimmed with black." "But how can you tell before you look." Ellen's eyes opened wide in amazement. "I can tell what I am going to look for—and you generally see what you are looking for." Ellen sat up with energy born of the sigh. "But, Isabel, that's absurd. You can't tell till you look. I mean you miss all sorts of lovely suggestions, to say nothing of the time you spend thinking it all out beforehand." "Do you like my blue volle?" "Do you beauty, and the most becoming thing I ever saw?" Ellen returned, generously. "Well, I spent an hour thinking it out, color, design and trimmings. I went straight to Morgan's and asked exactly those things—no others. They felt it was a good idea to make it. The whole thing, aside from the fittings, of course, took me less than three hours. I think I was 15 minutes buying the materials. It may have been 20. That's argument No. 1. I was not sure if I should have Ellon flushed. "I—I took it and changed it," she confessed. "I got gray, as I planned at first; I was afraid I'd get so tired of the old rose." "But wasn't that a lovely suggestion you gave me?" "But that is only a single example!

How Bullets Travel That bullets neither whine, hiss, howl, hum, nor whisper, novelists to the contrary notwithstanding, is information given by Mr. Edward C. Crossman in Outing. With one possible exception—when in certain conditions of fire the bullet hits those standing back of the filing line—nothing is audible except a sharp crash of air closing around the bullet's hase when it travels at high speed. At a velocity of 1,500 feet a second, or more, the noise is "like nothing so much as a long and very loud shriek." Those who stand far enough from the rifle hear the bullet's crack and later the dull thudling noise of the rifle itself, which has been outspaced. Jack London makes a soldier hit at 600 yard range first hear the sound of the bullet and then feel the blow of the bullet, killing him half a second before the sound from the rifle reached him. Three Woman Senatpr There are now three woman senators in the United States, since Miss Kathlyn Clarke of Glendale was elected state senator at a special election in Oregon. She ran on the Democrat ticket against two men and won the election. She has hundred votes. The other two woman senators are Mrs. Helen Ring Robinson of Colorado and Mrs. Frances Willard Munds of Arizona. Senator Munda presided over the Arizona senate recently during the election of the floor to amend the law relative to the fees of county officers. This is the first time in this country that a woman has presided over a legislative body. Dog Faithful to Pauner Charles L.

THINK LITTLE OF LIFE MURDER A COMMON OCCURRENCE AMONG PAPUANS. Seems to Them the Most Natural Thing in the World to Put End to Existence of Enemies or the Troublesome. Papua has long been known as a bloody land. It is a bloody land still. But the blood of white men is rarely let; and the wanton slaughter of natives the one by the other—at least in those fast-widening regions which lie within the sphere of the law—is their own master's Magazine. All this being so, in one year, nevertheless, when there were 215 prisoners committed for trial, 118 of them were charged with murder, nine with manslaughter and five with attempted murder. To the civilized mind the motives to murder, shocking enough, to be sure—nor wanting an occasion of occasion incredible. As they are masters of record, however, disclosed upon manslaking investigation, they are to be accepted, not as irresponsible tales, such as wander about the eastern seas, but as substantial facts, however singular and incomprehensible they may appear. It is a matter of court record, such as wander about the eastern seas, what is called the coast range, being upon trial for the murder of two carrers, whose throats they had cut, admitted the deed without the least hesitation, and sought to justify the ghastly business upon the ground that the carrers had appeared to be "cold and dead" from their villages. The prisoners had not eaten the carriers. They had merely with the most considerate expedition—cut the throats of the carrers, who were strangers, at any rate, and therefore of no great consequence; and no ingenuity of cross-questioning could elicit a motive anterior to the carrers, appearing to be "cold and hungry," were in the opinion of the gentlemen who had incontinently cut their throats, much better dead. A similar case of moreful extemation concerned a young native, employed to shoot game for a white planter, who encountered a sick man (Papun) on the road, near by a river, and strangled him to death. Upon trial he explained that the sick man had created annoyance, and a considerable embarrassment, as well, by indulging in questioning he carried across his river to the other side, when his way lay forward to his village. "Quite so," said the presiding officier. "Why, then, did you carry him across the river?" "He was too heavy," replied the native. "It would have put me to a great deal of trouble." "Why did you kill him?" "What else could I do? The man was sick." It was out of the question to endure the labor of carrying the sick man across the river. It was equally out of the question to abandon the pitable object. Therefore the bewildered fellow had strangled him—the most obvious way out of a dilemma which bade fair to distress his feelings. Leakage of Gasoline. The mysterious loss of gasoline, which embarrassed the polar expeditions of Scott and Amundsen, and which was the principal cause of the disaster that befell the former, has been made the subject of investigation by several persons, and a very plausible explanation is made by B. T. Ward, a professor of industrial Research, in an article in Science. He has observed that at low temperatures ordinary tin is liable to be converted into the allotropic form, gray tin powder. This change takes place at a maximum rate at 45 degrees Centigrade, and may occur more slowly at other temperatures below that point. Hard solder, which may contain 65 per cent tin, is subject to the danger of leakage in the deposition of the so-called seams of the container—a fact that should be duly considered by future polar expeditions. Wheeling on Rubber Roads Considerable interest has prevailed in England for some time over the suggestion of using rubber for street pavements. Trial sections of such surfacing were laid in the old Kent road, in London, some time ago, as this street carries part of the heaviest traffic of the city, and recently a specimen of this pavement was exhibited. The wood block pavement adjoining had worn down from an eighth to a quarter of an inch, but in the same time the rubber-capped wood blocks were as good as new; and it would appear that less test rubber pavements would be so durable as to make them an economic investment. Easy to Open Gate. A simple device for the operation of the heavy and cumbersome barnyard gate is that of attaching a wheel to the free or swinging end. In many instances farm gates are so long that the ordinary hinge is not strong enough to support the entire weight, and it is necessary to allow the free end to rest on the ground. The use of a wheel makes it unnecessary to lift the gate when it is desired to open or close it. Signs of Pain. It is difficult to estimate the degree of pain, but there are certain signs of suffering which are unmistakable—the pinched features, the knotted skin, the dilated pupils, the ashen countenance, the cool and clammy skin, the thready pulse, the increased blood pressure, the hands alternately clenched and opened, the cries and groans and the bodily contortions. All these present a definite picture with which every physician or nurse is familiar. Slap at Chicago Culture Miss Ritts—"Aren't you fond of dialect poetry, Mr. Dresdheep?"

An enticing subject for discussion is the writer as orator. It is, of course, undeniable that the mental processes belonging to it to two orders of expression are wholly different, but says a correspondent of the Manchester cardinal, should challenge very strongly the comparison that the good writer is sadden a good snooker Putting aside Burke, Gladstone, Bright and others who cannot properly be put into classes, I submit that the number of modern writers who have been fine speakers is very large. Canning and Dilracell could write and speak equally well. Macauley, although, as you remark, he memorized his speeches, was among the great parliamentary orators of the reform era. The memorizing, by the way, was not his fault. He could not help knowing word for word everything that he had accomplished the extraordinary feat for publication in his last years when he was too ill for original work, the orations which he had spoken ten or twenty years earlier. Coloridge, his admirers thought, was a marvelous speaker. Dickens was almost without a rival after dinner. Public speaking was a torment to Ruskin as to Carlyle, but those who him never forgot the experience. Mr. Dickens, the public speaker. Thackeryon on the platform was pitted. But let me suggest a few other examples. Lord Roseberry is an orator and an accomplished author. Mr. Bafour, when he likes, can write like an angel, and there are few more deadly debaters. Lord Morley will live as a writer, his life will be written. Lord Curzon writes exactly as he speaks, and with about equal facility and force. In their entirely different ways Lord Haldane and Mr. Birrell enjoy the dual faculty. They consider Mr. Chesterton and Bernard Shaw, in certain respects the greatest master of public speech as of written English today. They are not to extend the list, they are not to extend the list, they are combined poetic genius, a fine command of prose and a gift of speech which at its best is perfect. Uncle Sam's Name. Like many other popular customs, the general acceptance of the name "Uncle Sam" is traceable to a small incident. The occurrence is just 100 years old, and is associated with Troy, X. where, after the war of 1512, Elbert Anderson, an army contractor, purchased a quarantine unit. One of the official provision inspectors was Samuel Wilson, who, because of his popularity, was generally referred to as "Uncle Sam Wilson." The boxes of provisions were stamped E. A. U. S. the first being the imprint of Elbert Anderson and the second being the imprint of United States. When one of the men engaged in the work of transferring the boxes was asked one day what the letters stood for, he replied, jokingly, that they stood for Elbert Anderson and Uncle Sam, meaning Wilson. The remark "caught on" and after being communicated from point to point in army circles spread over the country. Room for Two. When a talk about the German invasion of England was going on, a militanian, stationed in Carrickfergus, was heard to remark that immediately the enemy landed in England he would certainly bolt, taking a good stock of provisions, and hide in a convenient cave he knew of. The colonel, hearing of his unpatriotic resolve, called him out next day on parade, and lectured him severely on his cowardice. "You're a disgrace to the regiment and the Service-collar," he cried. "Fancy you threatening to run away; but I'd be after you in quick time, my man, never fear." "Sure, an' you' be welcome, your honor; but, bring yer own pratties an' things, won't yer, colonet?"—London Tit-Bits. Tie. Rapidly. Dispossess. With regard to the future use of tin, it may be said that we are dealing with the one metal whose known ore reserves are entirely inadequate to even the present demands and that unless some new source of supply is developed very soon we may expect to find that tin is a very scarce metal in the. Of the present sources of tin ore supply, says the Engineering Magazine, most are either stationary or receding in output, Bolivia being the only one which gives promise of permanency and of future growth. Under these conditions the question of substitution of importance and aluminum, zinc and lead in have some possibility in this direction in one way or another. Mountain Climbing Meelichor Andregg, the famous Swiss guide, who has died, at the age of eighty-six, could remember the time when mountaineering as a popular pastime had not been invented. Such was evidently the case in 1838, the year when Murray's first Handbook of Mountaineering was issued. In the section of this work devoted to Mont Blanc the author contemptuously points out that "It is a somewhat remarkable fact that a large proportion of those who have made the ascent of this mountain have been persons of unsound mind." Ready With Explanation. William was given a special warning by his mother that he was not to go in the pantry under any conditions when permission had not been given him either by his mother or by the governess. The governess, returning one day, found little William along with a neighbor's child of about the same age, in the pantry. The governess said that he had not yet come, she hardly had time to say anything before William broke in with, "Miss Johnson, I was just showing Henry where he should never go."

Thoreau THE CHICAGO DEFENDER THEORIES EXPLOUNDED BY PROFESSOR METCHNIKOFF. Russian Scientist, Amazingly Vigorous at Seventy Years of Age, Tells How Human Life May Be Long Extended. Professor Metchnikoff is again discoursing on beneficent bacillus. Their introduction into the system to deprive people of the old age indefinitely, he maintains, with the result that no man need take a vacation to recuperate lost vitality. Metchnikoff at seventy works all the time with undiminished zeet. The fountain of youth which people often sought in 1513 in Florida he could find home in sour milk and natural sugar. For his years the Russian scientist is amazingly vigorous. He has been getting back and keeping his youth for 17 years. In a recent interview Metchnikoff seems to have said nothing about exercise as an aid to health. His aim has been to prevent contamination of the blood by intestinal pol soisons which clog the human machinery by contact as they spread to organs and arteries. Presumably Metchnikoff is the air regularly, but science interests him. Perhaps it can be inferred that he does not think the usual forms of exercise necessary if a proper microbe diet is practiced. The active agents Methchnikoff kills in the sugar of dates as well as in the lactic acid of prepared milk. He cats nothing that is not cooked; even his fruit must be stewed. The sour milk he takes at his "first breakfast," which consists of vegetable bouillon (such as lentils or bacilli). At lunch and dinner he catches a little meat, free of vegetables, and always compote of fruit. While other scientists of his age who do not follow his system falter at their work in the laboratory, Professor Methchnikoff knows no fatigue, finishing each day fresh and full of enthusiasm. Yet he comes of a short-lived family. He has a physical condition proves beyond challenge, a theory of beneficent bacilli is sound. Some of the physical cultures reach the same result by a system of bone (twisting, muscle stretching and flushing the colon. One of them, Sanford Bennett, a well-known business man of San Francisco, is more vigorous and nimble at seventy-two than Professor Mekhnikoff is at seventy. Mr. Bennett, who catches what he pleases, is a man who likes to wash and tasting effects of intestinal poisoning, but knowingly he does not consume certain kinds of bacilli to kill others. While a successful experimenter on himself, he is not a scientist. At fifty Bennett was a billion and tired-out business man rapidly growing old. Today he has a fresh complexion, sleeps soundly, moves about like a healthy man of forty, and is able to work in the woods without fatigue. Assuming that Professor Mekhnikoff is right when he says that the battle of bacilli in the human system can be decided in favor of the invaders introduced in natural sugar and sour milk, it might be worth while impiring whether the bad bacilli are not killed by the methane gas produced by the Francisco priest of youth in old age, which makes no study at all of those foods that contain good bacilli.

We are told that the kaiser has his special doubles, made up in his image and likeness, and dressed in understudies of his uniforms, so that the enemy may try his powder on the dog. They have adopted the method in England, as when there were "two Richmonds" in the field. But somehow we all like but the splendid vanity of Nelson, who would have gone into fight in full uniform and with his reason his breast. It was—for that reason—his last fight.

Lively Town SEEMS LIKE SENSIBLE IDEA Woman Says Time to Take a Wedding Trip Ia Before Contemplated Marriage. "People laugh when they say that the best time to take a wedding journey is before the wedding," said a New York woman, according to the Sun of that city, "but there never was a truer thing said, and divorces would be much less frequent if that were the custom, with certain limitations, of course. I proved it conclusively during the last summer. The woman whom I have known since childhood asked me if she could join me in a six months' trip my husband and I were about to take overseas. I was glad enough to have her with me, for she is not a young girl, and she has money enough to travel properly. Three of us would ask the woman asked me if I would object to a certain man making the fourth of the party. "He was a very nice sort, also with money enough, and as they had been so attentive to each other for a year that their friends had concluded they were sure to marry before a great man, and he gladly, as did my husband, wear it. In good style on a ship bound for Spain where we spent the first month, and I was as happy as could be. "On the fourth day out the girl came into my stateroom, and, to my astonishment, put her head on my shoulder and began to cry. I was frightened and wanted to know what was wrong, and between sobs she told me that she was taught to laugh as so nice was getting on her nerves so she simply couldn't stand it and had to tell somebody jump overboard. "Her previous association had been of the usual kind incidental to the acquaintance of two unmarried persons, and, while he was nice that way, having him around all the time was helpful to me, and I must help her out of it. Of course, easy enough, for as before I had been keeping myself out of their way. Now I did all I could to keep in their way and it saved the girl's life till we reached land. "After that it was a little easier and by and by the man, being a sensible man made it convenient to quit our party soon. I'm sure, and so is the girl, that if they had not gone on the trip they would have married, and then anybody can imagine what the result would have been. "Theirs was a nonwidowed journey, and there should be more of them. Yes, they happened our trip and we came home in a moment. Not her at the boat, but no longer as her possible husband." Tobacco in America. Americans have always been pine and cigar smokers. In the early days of the colonies cigars were imported, but it is a safe assumption that the great bulk of cigars smoked by our colonial ancestors were homemade or homerolled. Gentlemen made their cigars and servants just as they generally distilled their own brandy from their own fruit. The cigar-making industry did not begin to be a factory, industry until 1810, when the first American cigar factory was established in Concord the factory-made cigar flourished and by 1810 numerous small cigar factories in Connecticut, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, Maryland and Virginia. There was then no internal revenue tax on cigars or other forms of prepared tobacco, the first and revenue tax on domestic cigars and the second forms being laded under the internal revenue law in 1892, which was, of course, a war revenue measure. The Connecting Link That back-to-the-land idea is going to become a reality if certain energetic people have their'way.

This work of hitch-up is just himself, been needed, and we believe the league be a real factor in building up the United States—Collier's Weekly. The Future Men A street car conductor in Kansas City said to a passenger as his car rattled past one of the playgrounds of that city: "Why, there's an entirely different bunch of kids when they are more playground from what they were running in; they are used to be hoppin' cars and puttin' on the track and up to all sorts of devilty.

Productive Land Used British Honduras presents the incongruous picture of a natural greenhouse, capable of growing almost every ordinary edible people can desire, importing nearly all of its food from overseas. Its natives know nothings about agriculture, but the government has set aside a tract of land where modern farming will be attempted under direction of practical men. What the Editor Knows In the schools of journalism they are teaching that an editor needs to know a great deal about a great many things, and that he cannot possibly know too much; and that right, but the most important thing for an editor to know is how little comparatively any editor can know—Doctor Globe.

Practice Is Not Fair. This species of segregation has been tolerated and even condoned by the Afro-Americans in Chicago, principally because they have not awakened to the great injustice its operation has and is still) working upon the men of the race. Any foreigner under the present system, if he be of the caucusan race, has an advantage to the Afro-American. Segregation and form is objectifiable and especially so when it bears the official stamp of the city government. Will Sound Mayoralty Candidates Concerted action should now be taken by the race leaders to bring home with force and effect this one great race blot upon our otherwise liberal city. Both Mr. Thompson, the Republican candidate for mayor, and Mr. Swelzer, the Democratic candidate, should be sounded on this question, and some expression regarding their attitude be exacted. No time should be lost in this matter if definite results are to be accomplished. MRS. P. M. B. HODGES INTERESTED IN CHARITY.

Button Hints To fasten buttons tightly begin to sew on the right side and sew back and forth several times before you begin to sew through the button. The knot will be under the button and not the wrong side, to be rubbed off in the sewing machine. You sew over a match or toothpick and wrap thread for a "shank."

AFTER ALL IT IS SIMPLY A MATTER OF EDUCA-TION, a matter of knowing what is going on around and about you that makes life worth while. We dislike this or that person because we do not fully know them; we criticize the management of different institutions because we do not know the inner workings, we do not know the money, time and effort it takes to bring order out of chaos. In institutions conducted for the benefit and welfare of the general public the fact is lost sight of by disinterested people, that the only aim and purpose of such institutions is to be of service, and friendly criticisms made to the proper authorities are always welcome. Criticism has been made of our Y. M. C. A., of the small board of management, and yet invitations have been repeatedly extended to every colored man in the city, through the press and platform, to take part in the work of the association, that they may be fitted to assume this responsibility, and form a nucleus from which a larger body may be formed. For years we have talked of Ethiopia stretching forth her hand; in this instance the Caucasian is stretching forth his hand, opening his pocketbook, erecting buildings that compare with the finest in the land, turning them over to the management of colored men, the only condition being that they should use it. Now this is tangible, concrete and very much in evidence. We have been so busy in pinning our faith, directing our energies on things intangible, impracticable, theoretical and generally illusionary that it has observed our vision and we appear incapable of adapting ourselves to conditions obvious calculated to really help us. That this is true the small membership of the Wabash Avenue Department stands as an indictment against Chicago's colored population, for it is certainly true that the manner in which any group of people adopts methods of progress or uplift is looked upon as indicative of their general character, and decides in questions of public policy where that group belongs. It is time that we seriously consider the privileges and benefits offered us and avail ourselves of them. WOLVES IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING. CONSEQUENCE of a farm hand commitment to N.

AS A CONSEQUENCE of a farm hand committing a murder at Gallup, N. M., all other members of his race were ordered to get out. The notice was somewhat profane, too, in its phrasology and it contained a hurry clause. However, certain influential white citizens, reluctant to lose their help, filed a vigorous protest, and now it is proposed to compromise the matter by permitting the city officials to determine who shall stay and who shall go, the theory, of course, being that only the desirables will be left. It would be difficult, however, to imagine a more un-American proceeding or one more dangerous as a precedent. When any set of men are empowered to pass judgment on the desirability of their fellow citizens American liberty ends and iron rule of the oligarchy begins. What assurance has Gallup that after her authorities have expelled the so-called undesirables of the darker race they will proceed to eliminate those whites that chance to be objectionable to them? It is such a raw procedure it would be ludicrous were it not for the seriousness of it all. In this community undoubtedly are men and women who have spent their lives toiling for a little but and a patch of ground they can call their own who, for the misdeeds or supposedly misdeeds of others, must give up their all and flee for their lives. There is little use asking where is the justice. There is no such word in the Southerner's language when it comes to dealing with members of the darker race. Under our laws it is given us to defend our lives and our homes with the shot gun if necessary, and it seems imminently necessary for these good, innocent people who are being persecuted to use them, and use them effectively. A hold stand by determined men, and a plentiful mowing down of "night riders" and "prominent citizens" of the same ilk would go a long way toward clearing the atmosphere of the wolves in sheep's clothing.

"JITNEY" MOTOR BUSSES have been put into service in a number of cities and have proven very successful. In St. Louis some twenty thousand were carried last week, which is considered very flattering, considering the idea is new. In this little burg, through which the waters of our drainage canal flow, they have no separate street cars for the races; in other words, they have not completely lost their civilization. But the owners of these new carriers are in a quandary as to the best method to keep the brother from riding on them. The fare, which is but five cents, appeals to everybody, and who wouldn't prefer a motor ride in preference to a stuffy street car? When a half dozen well dressed and orderly young men boarded a "Jitney" and refused to get out until delivered to their destination, the driver had them arrested and taken before a judge, who politely informed the officials of the company that the young men were within their rights, the cars were public carriers, the men law-abiding American citizens, and siad as much right on them as anyone else.

LOU HOGGA "The Boysmen Will Get You If You Don't Look Out!" mobiles controlled by Motors Service Company propose to drop the word "Jitney" and also the five-cent sign, thinking thereby the drivers can charge such prohibitive prices our people will not care to ride. Isn't it the ostrich that sticks his head in the sand and believes his whole body is out of sight? Wouldn't it be a charitable thing for some relative or near friend to tell the owners of these busses that they will be in just as deep water if they charge a white passenger five cents and a member of our race one penny more? Had they gone on without raising this question the public would have made no more objections than they do about the surface cars. As long as the law stands as it does, and we propose to fight to see that it does so stand, there must not be any discrimination. St. Louis is bad enough along these lines at best. MAKING GOOD. ERN BANK of Jacksonville of a receiver, has made sure to accomplish this threefold property, which was the only. They felt, however, that there be no losses who had placed money in mortgaged their own property or are not uncommon, or suffer financially in case thereof for that. Failure only means loss to the mourners. Many men, many are serving prisoner used of taking on the vices of dominant race, but here manhood is displayed, for his business dealings in every walk of life. They learn from these three girls as you would have them ensure confidence in deposit race bankers. It is no doubt men today passed through but how. THE SOUTHERN BANK of Jackson, Miss., which was placed in the hands of a receiver, has made settlement in full with its creditors. In order to accomplish this three officers of the bank sacrificed their personal property, which was in no way involved in the bank's affairs. They felt, however, that they owed it as a duty to the depositors that there be no losses sustained by members of their race, who had placed money in the institution, and accordingly they mortgaged their own property in order to raise the funds. Bank failures are not uncommon, but it is seldom that the officers or directors suffer financially in consequence; they are supposed to be too shrewd for that. Failures nowadays of banks or other businesses only means loss to the general public and the creditors are the mourners. Many men have made vast fortunes by failing, and many are serving prison terms for the same thing. We are accused of taking on the vices and assimilating the shortcomings of the dominant race, but here is an instance where the highest type of manhood is displayed, for a man who will be honest and square in his business dealings can always be relied upon to be the same in every walk of life. There is much that our white bankers can learn from these three gentlemen in the way of doing unto others as you would have them do unto you. And, too, their action inspires confidence in depositors as to the integrity and honesty of our race bankers. It is no discredit to fail; many of our most successful men today passed through failures. It isn't always what you do, but how. A WAR WITH PENS. A WARM FIGHT is being waged by two newspapers in Nashville, Tenn. a case of the pen being mightier than the sword. As might be expected WE are in on the deal. The Tennessee and American accuse the Banner of owning or dictating the policy of the Nashville News, one of our race's papers. The editor of the banner says: "The malice and evil purpose of the statement is entirely evident, but too absurd to have the desired effect. The News, though owned and edited by Negroes, has the appearance of being an entirely respectable paper, which places it as a public journal in a class above these unprincipled organs. These papers revel in slander and take to downright lying with the aptitude that a skunk follows its natural "bent." The trouble started when the Banner took to task the Tennessee and American for being instrumental in having a large number of our laborers discharged from working on an important public improvement that was being carried on by the Lewisburg and Northern Railroad Company. The News came in for their share when they copied the Banner's article. The incident is only of importance because it clearly shows how quickly real issues are lost sight of in the South when the color question, even by the merest chance, slips in. When once interjected, all else is forgotten and they can sail in with sleeves rolled up and write from the bitterness of their heart till Judgment Day. We must be a great people to always be the center of attraction. IN NEW BERN, N. C., wherever that is, a parson evidently with extraordinary power of vision discovered recently a new comet which he claims portends evil. The flock to whom he related his story immediately became excited and another "end of the world" canard was launched on an unsuspecting public. This new ethereal visitor according to reports can only be seen between the hours of 1 and 4 a. m., a time when only policemen and milkmen are supposed to be rambling around. Well, the scare hasn't reached Chicago as yet, but it might be a good idea (for us) for the general public—meaning everybody—to get this paper each week—either by mail or from your nearest stationers—and watch for further developments, remembering always that our headline says, "Latest News. If you see it in the Defender it's so." PROTECTING OUR INTERESTS.

It may not always be in the way of position—there are other favors equally as valuable, and it is always well for us to have a friend at court. In these latter days we are never quite sure just what kind of legislation inimical to us will be attempted, and if we send men who have something to lose, even if their heart isn't just in the right place, we stand a fair show of having out interests protected. In Chicago it is possible and also probable that we will have a race representative in the City Council in the person of Oscar DePriest. Both gentlemen who opposed him at the primaries have graciously laid down their arms and have come out boldly and manly in support of the successful candidate, and have advised their supporters to do likewise. This is the spirit that should dominate every race-loving person. We have an opportunity to put Mr. DePriest in the Council; we have the power, and if we do not exert it, never again should we cry give us a chance. THESE "NIGHT RIDERS" who have constituted themselves a law unto themselves and are driving out of their homes innocent people, will find—or, rather, their friends will find—their names in the morning papers as among those who are also missed. A shotgun is no respecter of persons and will do just as effective work in the hands of our people when occasion demands it as it will in the hands of white ruffians. THE REPUBLICANS and the Progressives are gradually coming together, and from where we sit it looks like a very good thing for us. We are getting our fill of Democratic misrule, and the only way out of it is for the two parties to lay down the battle-ax and smoke the pipe of peace, and when they do, we want to be close enough to take a few puffs ourselves. OUR COLLEGES IN ATLANTA, GA., alone, according to the statement of a writer in the Times-Recorder, have more endowment money than all the white male and female colleges of the State put together.

However, we'll bet a doughnut with a hole in it, that if they are we will not be able to get them. Our living comes high, but we must have it. WE ARE SURE that spring isn't very far off—the ball teams have begun practicing, the fans have commenced to open their eyes and stretch, and the sporting editor is beginning to wear the smile that won't come off.

On Feb. 16th, the Chicago Municipal Tuberculosis sanitarium, the greatest institution of its kind in the world, was dedicated, and on the 5th of March the sanitarium will open for the reception and treatment of properly selected tuberculosis patients by Character of This Institution Database of this institution. The institution represents the culmination of ten years of unremitting toil and devotion to a single idea. There are 42 buildings located on 160 acres of ground in the northwest section, within the city limits. These grounds, buildings and improvements represent an outlay of the people's money to the extent of $2,400,000. The Chicago Municipal Tuberculosis sanitarium is located on North Crawford and Bryn Mawr avenues, about 10 miles from Madison street. You may reach this sanitarium by taking the Lincoln avenue car and transfer to the Crawford avenue car, riding north to the end of line, get off and walk three blocks north. You will see the sanitarium on the east side of the avenue. It is hoped soon to have the Crawford extended up to or beyond this sanitarium, so as to accommodate those who desire to use the street cars in reaching the sanitarium. We would most carnestly urge those who have not as yet visited this sanitarium to use the first opportunity to do so, as it is well worth your while to spend a half day or several hours in going through this institution, carefully in studying it, even from an educational standpoint.
