C., March 26—Miss Nannie H. Burroughs has issued a pamphlet in which she scores the churches and preachers for not letting more pure air into the churches. On this point she says: "Many churches are almost airproof. The furnaces and stoves are kept red-hot during services. To open a window is to start a holy war. "Many of the floors are carpeted; many of the seats are cushioned; many of the pulpits are decorated with spittoons; many of the sextons are too old to see dirt; many others are too lazy; many more are too indifferent. "Some churches are too dirty and neglected to be called 'a house of God.' Rags and cast-off decorations are chucked away. Dust is in evidence; window panes are broken; the side walls are greasy; stoves are rusty. The toilets are so filthy that if the health department looked after its business properly, the trustees would be called to court. The pastor's study looks like a rummage closet. Broken benches and chairs are piled up. The yard is neglected. Do you wonder why people seek places more attractive?" "JIM CROW" CONDUCTOR WAS ON B. & O.; NOT C. & N. W.

Havana, Cuba, March 26.—The biggest proposition as to the big fight that seems eminent is the choice of referee. They must pick out a suitable man to do the act, and one that is capable, and it would, not surprise many if Jack Curley did the refereeing himself. But Curley says that this is impossible, owing to his leanings towards Willard. That's the way the ball was at Reno when Tex Rickard was mentioned as a possible choice.

JUBILEE TROUPE CHARMS. Dixie Company Appears on Boards Same Week as the "Peerless Bert" and Coast City Has Feast of Fun and Music—Mme. Neal G. Buckner Adds to Laurels. (By Eloise Bibb Thompson, Contributing Editor.) Los Angeles, Cal., March 26.—Those who enjoyed the Ziegfeld Follies at the Mason last week will no doubt be interested in learning how its principal comedian, Bert Williams, worked himself up to the position he now holds. The dramatic editor of the New York Morning Telegraph has called Bert Williams "the greatest comedian on the American stage." But according to his own statement, Mr. Williams has higher aspirations than that of being a comedian, for he is quoted as having said: MANY CHURCHES OBSERVE HEALTH DAY LAST SUNDAY. The Call of Booker T. Washington to Preach Health and Cleanlines. Was Carried Out to the Letter By All Churches of the City. Many of the churches throughout the city held health meetings last Sunday night, which was encouraged editorially by the Defender, the call being made by Dr. Booker T. Washington. The biggest meeting was held at Bethel A. M. E. Church. There were three of the most prominent physicians, surgeons and dentists in the city on the new era in medicine. Dalley spoke of the new era in medicine. Prevention of less drugs and serums and the surgery was playing. He spoke of the need of properly trained specialists in various branches of medicine and re- ferred to the many men of the race who had and are "making good." He urged his hearers to live good, clean, healthy lives. Dr. Mozee spoke on the care of the teeth, especially pyrhea and other diseases of the mouth. Dr. S. C. Dickerson, who is an instructor on the Rush Medical staff, spoke on the eye ear, nose and throat. He also spoke of high positions held by race men in Massachusetts, general Hospital. Rev. T. A.

This terse sentence tells this week's story of the strange disappearance of the little four-year-old girl, who disappeared from her parents' home, 3146 Federal street, March 9. The only development of the week was another letter from a woman in Decatur, Ill., which was referred to the police department of that city for investigation. Wednesday William D. Smith, held in connection with the child's disappearance, as he was the last person seen with her, was given a hearing at the Halsted street police court. Judge Wade gave the prisoner until March 31 to tell what he knew about the child's disappearance. He was ordered back to the county jail; but at the request of Mr. Dorn he will be held at the Stanton avenue station.

New York, March 26.—"The Birth of the Nation," a "movie" revision of "The Clansman," was dealt a decisive blow by the Board of Censors here this week. The Board is composed of one hundred members, from which ten are selected to view "movies" and report their findings to the entire body. Mr. Frederick C. Howe, chairman of the Board, sat with the committee when the film was shown. After the pictures had been "reeled off," the committee, without hesitation, voted to exclude it from exhibition in New York City. Make-Up of Committee. Among those of the committee who objected to the picture were Dr. J. P. Warbasse of Brooklyn; Mrs. Joseph M. Price, Mrs. Howard Gabs, J. K. Pauling and Dr. Lewis, head of the Prison Association of New York State. In commenting upon the matter to the Defender's representative, Chairman Howe said: "My objection, was personal. It was because the story is bound to arouse race hatred, when I think unjustified, and have a bad effect. It is likely to lead to race troubles. I object to the scent of a brutal Negro chasing a white girl. That is not a sufficiently frequent occurrence to justify the author's claim that it is the greatest film ever produced. Would Cause Race Riot. "If the picture goes in, the south I should think it would happen about race riots. Men might personal boast a result of it.

GERRY WANTS TO SERVE POST OFFICE ASSOCIATION AGAIN Cashier of Second Class Mailing Divi- sion Is Candidate for re-election as Secretary of the Post Office Employe- s' Mutual Aid Association. Henry E. Gerry, cashier of the second class matter section of the post office, is a candidate for re-election as secretary of the *Post Office Employees' Mutual Aid Association* at the election to be held April 4, 1915. The ballot is by mail. This association is the pride of the post office employees, and the Chicago Defender learns that Mr. Gerry is praised by the members, irrespective of color, as a broad-minded officer, just and considerate in his dealings with everyone. During the period he has served as secretary he has by a strict interpretation and enforcement of its laws secured promptness by a large majority of our members in the payment of assessments, and by watchful care in the management of attempted frauds has saved to the extent the fraud much more than has been paid him for services. He has devoted his evening, Sundays and portions of his vacations to the interests and welfare of the association and its membership. He has had charge of the collection of assessments, which under the old and new constitutions is made a part of the treasurer's duties. His position of cashier enables him to have necessary safe and vault facilities for caring for money, books and valuable papers. He is centrally located (room 402, post office), easy of access to members and the public having business with the association. He is always on duty and if necessarily absent his assistant, a member of the association attends to the association business for him. This association has 12 members and the twenty years about $120,000 to the widows and families of deceased members. Mrs. Viola C. Gowdy Dead.

HOT EDITIO (Special to Chicago Defender.) Miami, Fla., March 26 (Special).—Consternation was created in the winter colony here last week when a local organization of white chaucers mobbed an Afro-American driver employed by Edward L. Stone, of Roanoke, Va. Mr. Stone, who is president of the Stone Printing and Manufacturing company, of Roanoke, accompanied W. L. Rockefeller, superintendent of motive power of therokok and Western Railroad, has been South for several years in his Cadillac automobile, driven by Charles Stuilz, an Afro-American, who has been for several years in Mr. Stone's service. When the party reached the main thoroughfares of Miami the strange chauffeur was uncovered by the white chauffeurs and his presence announced by a loud tooting of horns. Each man took up the signal and followed Mr. Stone's automobile to the entrance of the Palm grounds, where they formed blockade and sent a representative to the stranger to tell him that he could not be allowed to drive the automobile out of the grounds. Pickets are statified about, the grounds to prevent his escape. Police Won't Help. Mr. Stone appealed to the Police Department, who sent two men, but declared they could not promise absolute protection and only protection within the city limits. Mr. Stone obtained a white chauffeur for the afternoon to drive about Miami. Speaking of the incident, Mr. Stone said, "I have employed Nets to drive for me for several years, and have been all over the South in my car, but never before experienced such us treatment.

"The affair is simply one in which the Hamilton Club members and their wives will participate, and I think the publication of the story in which we were made to appear as 'drawing the color line' and only does an injustice to the Afro-American women," she told Thompson, who greeted the expulsion of the child and grossly disrespect to your people for Thompson, this one who racial religion, that if I elected race war in life me.

The use of public school buildings as neighborhood, social and recreational centers is receiving approval and encouragement in the most progressive cities of our country. Many of these school buildings are equipped with modern, well-equipped gymnasiums. I am in favor of having these gymnasiums open to the neighborhoods during the day and evening so far as practical and the neighborhood seems to require. A comprehensive policy should be formulated by the Chicago Board of Education for enlarging the use of the public schools for neighborhood purposes as rapidly as possible. It constrains the need of available funds will permit. I believe the public schools are entitled to the best teachers obtainable and that these teachers should be paid wages commensurate with their ability and experience.

(Special to Chicago Defender.) March 29, 1915. The exclusive publication in The Chicago Defender of the segregation order at the Old Soldiers' Home here, instead of having the effect of lessening the rigors of General Order No. 14, has, if anything, intensified the management to more drastic measures. Governor Peters, when shown a copy of The Defender containing the expose, is said to have "cussed and damned" everything and everybody identified with the Afro-American race. It is reported that he paced the floor of the executive offices and swore eternal vengeance on the "nigger paper" that would dare criticize his official act. He was particularly anxious that no copies of the "nigger sheet" be read by the inmates. He hurriedly summoned the "board of censors" and gave orders that all literature he carefully read before it reached the eyes of the old soldiers. stats have been arranged in the government opera house, and now over certain doors hang the sign: "This entrance for colored soldiers." Leading to the gallery and at the bottom of the stairway is the keeper "Colored soldiers in the gallery." Thus the pernicious decrees of the Negro-hating new governor of the Home is working its way to the humiliation and disgrace of the Afro-American veterans quartered at the Soldiers Home in Danville. Sergeant Walker Leaves. Sergt. George S. Walker, unable to further stand the hardships and humiliations occasioned by the new policy of Governor Peters, left the Home this week.

On the Lookout. From Saturday until Wednesday strict surveillance was kept upon all of the Afro-American old soldiers and whenever one of them was seen reading a newspaper "the censor" would immediately interrogate him upon it, and also examine it. It is doubtful now whether those of the old soldiers resident at the Home have seen their usual and regular weekly copy of The Defender. One of the additional proscriptive rules inaugurated since The Defender brought the attention of the public to the segregation policy of Governor Peters affected the opera house located at the theatre, and the theatre was built for the impresario and pleasure of the old soldiers. On Wednesday and Friday nights entertainments and moving pictures form the attractions for the old warriors to brighten their declining years. Color Line at Opera House. By some unforeseen circumstance the segregation order now, famous, as General Order No. 14 did not include the only place of amusement furnished by the Government for its veterans of the Civil War.

Before boarding the train for New York, whither he has gone to live with a white bride who had heard about the new rule and sent him a ticket, made this observation to The Defender's representative: "I am leaving the Home for good. The disgrace is more than I could stand, and I am going to live with Comrade Atherton on his farm in Steuben County, N. Y. He is a white man and when I got his letter telling me that he had heard about General Order No. 14 and invited to come and spend the remainder of the day with his poor Afo-American comrades left behind. They are not so fortunate as myself. I know that they are watching and waiting, day in and out, for relief from the miserable conditions under which they are living. Will Illinois Stand It? "If the Afro-American people in Illinois could interest their Congressmen and Senators in their cases something in mitigation of their unfortunate circumstances might be done. I have heard much about Congressman Madden and his rights in and out of Congress for our people.

Review of New Books, Pamphlets and Other Literary Efforts Submitted to The Chicago Defender. By D. W. Johnson. "THE HAITIAN REVOLUTION" by T. G. Steward, is a book full of interest throughout its 292 pages. The author presents to the public a fund of information about the Black Republic, in a lively and interesting manner. The author struggles to struggle of the people of the island for their freedom and civil liberty during a period of 13 years, is thrilling. The book is of special interest to all book lovers who admire herole deeds, courage, lova and a noble character. The book is very interesting to the very interesting story of Toussaint L'ouverture. The man who sprang from the depths of slavery to the highest honors and office in the island, the military commander-in-chief, the military who dared of duty the will of Napoleon, the king Napoleon was in the zenith of glory. The "Side Lights on the French Revolution," the national assembly, the Council of Directory, and their deceit, dissimulation andVACillation with the slaves and freedmen of the island, the true tribute and interesting reading. This book should be read by every colored man and woman of America and the story should be told by the fireside to the children, so that they may overcome the race of people who are willing to fight and struggle for justice, truth and liberty.

Jescar Do Priest interested the the with a few remarks. He used how Mr. Madden refused to for mayor, regardless of the key and honor, but would rather in congress to defend those who are not the power to do so. Repeating from an address by Mr. Madden, he said: "If I should become mayor who would stand in congress and lead the fight against the various bills of discrimination? I have a life's work mapped out, and that is to do my utmost in defeating such bills that will segregate those who cannot defend themselves." Mrs. Fannie Hall-Clint read the following resolutions: "Whereas, For the first time in our country's history a champion for American womanhood has raised his voice in the halls of congress, demanding safeguards and protection for womanhood; and Whereas, This same champion has also led the successful battle against the African exclusion amendment and the 'Jim Crow' car bills in the same congress; therefore be it Women Pledge Support. "Resolved, That this public meeting, composed of thousands of his constitutants, do now join with the Afro-American womanhood of Chicago in voicing its heartfelt thanks to Congressman Martin B. Madden for the faithful discharge of his duty in defending and protecting our rights and those 'of the Afro-American throughout the United States. "Resolved, That as a further proof of our gratitude for his able championship of our rights and liberties in the nation and at home we endorse our young giant, Oscar De Priest, for alderman of the Second ward and William Hale Thompson for mayor, and pledge ourselves to leave no stone unturned to secure their election on April 6. We realize that in no other way can we safeguard our own rights than by upholding the hands of those who fight our battles." Miss Maud Roberts sang a solo written on Oscar De Priest, to the air of "The Republic." Mr. Lewis spoke for William Hale Thompson in regard to their obligations. XIE PLYER STOPS FOR MRS. HENRY JONES e Conductor or the Engineer Which?—That's the Question. Mrs. Henry Jones was called by a telegram to Watskea to see her mother who is ill, a few days ago. She boarded the train out in Englewood and it was a "Dixie Flyer," the ticket agent informing her that it stopped at her home. The agent made a mistake. She was on the fastest train placed on the map. What would she do? The conductor came—"fare please," said he. There she sat with her ticket on this "fast, never-stopping train." Much to her surprise, just before it reached her home the train slowed down, it came to a stand still and the conductor politely let her off. Mr. Jones says that the engineer knew him and that's the reason he stopped, Mrs. Jones says it was the pointiness of the conductor. The reporter is still waiting to hear who was right. MISS WARLICK SPEAKS; DANCE BIG SUCCESS Miss Warlick, superintendent of Provident Hospital, is very happy over the success of the nurses' dance on Thursday evening, March 18, at Johnson's hall. It was the most representative crowd of real Chicagoans that has ever attended a public dance at this hall. The latest financial returns show that $185 was realized, which will be used to lay a tile floor in the operating room. Everyone had a delightful time, and the nurses in their uniforms were the focus of attraction. Miss Warlick not only led the grand march, but danced all the latest dances, as did the nurses. "Mr. Defender Reporter, just say for me that I am greatly pleased with the public interest manifested, and I speak for the hospital when I say we ~~very grateful to those who bought kets and attended the dance," said Warlick on last evening at the pital. i.

THE SIGNS OF SPRING Four Defender reporters came breathlessly into the office this week and announced that spring was here, and verified the statement by saying that they saw watermelons in South Water street. At first we thought each one was trying to outdo the other, until the office devil came and said it was true, because one of the drivers on the street told him they expected a coatsignment from Canada in a few weeks. The office, however, would not O. K. the story, but will leave it to the people to decide for themselves. MEXICAN FRANK HAS AUSPICIOUS OPENING TUESDAY Most Beautiful Cafe in the Country—Organ Playing Cost $5,000—Over 600 People Served the First Night—Polite Waiters Serve You with Dispatch GRAND OPENING APRIL 1 Young Men Who Go to High Schools and Colleges Selected as Waiters—Open When Other Cafes Are Closed—Mrs. Gordon Making Special Flowers for Grand Opening Night. Mr. A. J. Gordon, known far and wide as "Mexican Frank," had a formal opening of his new cafe, 36th and State street, on Tuesday evening, March 23. For several weeks, Mr. Gordon has been supervising the work at his new place; promising his legions of friends and patrons he would have one of the most modern and up-to-date cafes in the country. When a surging crowd people entered the place, it was not fooled. For beauty of paintings, paintings, drapering, silverware, linens, tables and electrical displays it lends all the rest in this country. As you go up the stairway you are welcomed to the main room where polite waiters greet you and see that you are immediately served. A menu card with all the Mexican, Chinese and English dishes, is at your disposal to suit any appetite. On the third floor are private rooms for private parties which is a a banquet hall which is a a "dream". The bell and pianola is also found on this floor. On the main floor there are forty tables. Just to the rear is a $5,000 electrical organ. This organ is the most pretentious of its kind in Chicago. While it is an organ, it is also an orchestra. On the first night, 650 people were served. This was done with dispatch and politeness. There are eight cooks, 30 waiters, 3 cashiers, two pastry girls and two checkers. These cooks are Chinese, the course of Mexican Frank's place is that they are closed, he is open. Chuck Suey, Egg Fuoy and Steaks of all kinds are served at any hour of the evening; the later the best. Mr. Gordon has employed a number of young men who are ambitious to be something in life; those who are in school and have a responsibility. Most of them go to school or a university in the day and work certain hours at night. Several college and high school boys and young men are on the job. Mr. Gordon invites the citizens of Chicago to patronize his place. He invites an inspection at any time. Mr. Lawrence, who has been acting as his chief assistant, says he would be pleased to have the ministers call and see the kind of up-to-date and respectable place he is running. The third day, night, April 1, will be the grand evening night. Many out-of-town flowers have ordered tables; in fact, it will be one gala day and evening around Mexican Frank's. Mr. A. J. Gordon is making special souvenir flowers for the occasion and every lady will receive one. The cafe is now open. Go in and inspect it; then eat. MR. AND MRS. L. T.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER HEALTH DEPARTMENT DISCUSSES VALUE OF GOOD LIGHTING Poor Lighting Facilities Not Only Injurious to Employee's Eyes, but Are Also the Wrong Kind of Economy—The Reason You Do Not Have Colds in Summertime. (Press Service, Department of Health.) Bad lighting in factories, stores and workshops is an extravagance that employers of labor cannot afford if they expect the best results from the workpeople in both the quality and quality of their products. Poor lighting facilities also mean injury to the eyes of those who are compelled to work under such conditions. And this also means loss of efficiency in the workmen and hastened disability as well as lessened productive capacity. It follows, then, that good lighting is good economy for both employers and employees. It is strange, too, that in many of the recently built industrial shops, where much attention has been paid to having them clean and sanitary, that the lighting has been apparently almost neglected, and this really important factor in the health, comfort and producing power of the workmen does not compare with the other equipments that at great expense have been provided because as essential to the best type of workplace. In many cases, too, it has been found that it was not due to the indifference of the employers that these serious mistakes have been made in factory construction, but that they could only be charged to a lack of experience or intelligence, or to failure to have had expert advice on a matter of such importance. And in not a few instances vastly improved lighting facilities might have been secured without involving any material increase in the amount of money that had been expended in the original construction cost. It has also been definitely determined that under good lighting conditions not only are the general health and the vision of the operators conserved and protected, but the factory output has been increased from 8 to 15 per cent. In short, the saving effected by good lighting will in a short period of time be for the cut of installation. In most if not all of the industries plenty of light and an unimpaired vision on the part of the workmen are prime requisites for the production of the highest grade of work. And because this is so manifestly true, employers of labor who are maintaining dark and poorly lighted workplaces should lose no time in correcting a defect that means so much in affecting the profit and loss side of their business. Did you ever notice that people rarely have colds during the summer months? This known immunity from colds is not due to warm weather except indirectly, but is due to the fact that people during the warm weather spend much of their time out of doors, and even when indoors have their homes and workplaces well ventilated. It has been observed that even during the winter months people who work out of doors seldom have colds. The same is true of those who keep their homes well ventilated. This should convince anyone that plenty of colds all the time winters, daytime and nighttime, will insure comparative freedom not only from colds, but also from all of the diseases that are due directly to bad air.

ON AND OFF THE STROLL There is a young man that I have frequently seen through my travels from precinct to precinct of the 2nd Ward and others as well, that has influenced me to pay particular attention to or the past two weeks. I have not yet carly in the mornings and late at night at various places where eligible voters gather. In the course of my routine of work I would constantly meet this young man so often that he became so impressed upon my mind. I set out to find what this young man's mission was because he constantly met and was cordially greeted by prominent men. Then I fortunately received an introduction to him and found him to be Mr. James B. Long, 56 W. 35th street, and I think it my duty to tell the public what gallant work this young man has been doing unassisted in behalf of William Hale Thompson. While independently making this campaign he is also influencing his friends to do the same for Hon. Oscar DePriest. Mr. Long is not aspiring for any appointment. If the young men of the Second Ward would go out and mingle with their friends and acquaintances like Mr. Long is doing he would be a great benefit to the race in this city. Mr. Long's advice to mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers and churches is that they see that every race-loving voters cast his vote on April 6 for William Hale Thompson and Hon. Oscar DePriest. STOPS DEFENDER THIEVES Through various complaints to The Defender that people have failed to receive their papers, it has been found through investigations, that someone has been stealing them. The paper should reach the residence on either the first or second mail. We urge that our patrons will watch the mail and if they see anybody stealing it, turn them over to The Chicago Defender. We are anxious to have the fellow in our charge so that we can turn him over to Uncle Sam to be dealt with accordingly. Any person found guilty of stealing mail will be given a heavy imprisonment and our spotters are on the job to catch these thieves. So it behooves those who steal The Defender to pay strict attention to this and save themselves the shame and disgrace which will be piteous to them.

SHAMROCKS AT BIRTHDAY PARTY FRENCH TAUGHT AT HOME H EASTER DISPLAY Phone 2477 Douglas or Mats A Letter from William R. Cowan To the Colored Voters of the Second Ward: The desire of the colored voters of the Republican party for representation in the city council has for many years past found expression in the councils of the party, but it was not until the aldermanic election of last year that that sentiment became so strong that to result in an independent movement within the party to attain that object. At that time the Political Equality League of the Second Ward was formed, and at the urgent solicitation of the leaders of that movement 1 became its candidate at the primaries for alderman of the Second Ward, in opposition to the candidate chosen by the Republican organization of the ward for that high office. No defeat at the primaries by the small majority of 184 votes amply demonstrated the power of the colored voter and gave the determination to share in the honors as well as the responsibilities of party success. The principle for which I and my supporters then fought has since been acknowledged by the ward organization and has borne fruit in the endorsement and nomination of Mr. Oscar De Priest as Republican candidate for alderman of the Second Ward, and has pressured the primaries has proven the sincerity of his earnestness of purpose of the organization to give-recognition to the colored voter and to show its appreciation of his party power and support. The personal dissatisfaction of many colored voters with Mr. De Priest prompted them to bring about my nomination as an independent candidate, against my better judgment and the advice of many of my best friends. But since the filing of my petition I have become convinced that the interests of the race can best be conserved by withdrawing from the contest and centering all our efforts upon the election of the candidate who received the endorsement of "the" voters at the primaries, and I feel that the controvert the many false and malicious statements concerning me circulated alike by disreputable individuals and irresponsible newspapers than by pledging my support and influence for Mr. Oscar De Priest as the Republican candidate for alderman of the Second ward. And I hereby urge all colored voter, male and female, to go to the polls on the 6th day of April next and cast their ballots for Mr. De Priest and for all his colleagues on the Republican ticket, from top to bottom, regardless of personal prejudices or party affiliations. Respectfully yours, WILLIAM R. COWAN. SERGEANT G. S. WALKER GOES TO NEW YORK Sergeant G. S.

Only first class articles are imitated—the very fact that so many imitate our articles is proof in itself that ours is of a superior quality. When you buy a face powder for a "High-Brown" that has not the name Overton-Hygienic on it, you have been imposed upon; for you have bought an imitation, which is inferior to our original "High-Brown." See that our name is on every box you buy.

Mundy Astound Betel Audience by Their Fine Musical Selections—Dr. M. O. Bousfield Speaks, The musical given at Bethel church last Sunday afternoon will not be forgotten in a hurry. Nearly every seat in the auditorium was taken, and the numbers on the program were executed in perfect style. Those who took part realized that they were appearing before an audience composed of some of the most cultured and critical of Chicago's citizens, and they came prepared to do their best, which they sang of the singing of Mr. James A. Mundy, Mr. Mr. Willa Sloan and Miss Maude Robert merited the hearty applause which was so generously accorded these artists; while the reading of Mrs. DeWitt Smith, the violin solo of Mr. Carroll Dickerson, the pipe organ solo by Mrs. Isaac Yarbrough, the piano solos by Mr. Theodore Taylor and Miss Goldie Guy were received with much enthusiasm. Dr. M. O. Bousfield read a paper on the history and practice of medicine. The doctor did not drift away from his hearers, but confined himself to the English language, of which he is a master, and made friends with his auditors from his opening sentence to the end of the address. The singing of the choir was the least enjoyable feature of the afternoon. Indeed Mr. Mundy has wrought wonders with his singers during the less than four months he has had charge of the choir. Miss Lillian Hunt, the organ, accompanied the choruses in the music, and the music augmented the same with the piano. These pleasant Sunday afternoons have become a part of the life of the people of Chicago, and it is expected that they will at no distant date be given every Sunday afternoon instead of once a month. In the evening the service was held under the auspices of the Health Week program committee. Helpful addresses were delivered by Dr. Theodore Mozee, U. S. Daley and Spencer Dickerson. One every pressure in which these three clever young physicians and surgeons instructed the congregation in the proper care of the teeth and other vital parts of the body.

The Chicago Union Giants will open the local season Sunday against the Tigers at Fairchild Park, Fortileth and Chicago avenues. This is the club's thirty-fourth season and they have games booked already in Danville, Aurora and Terre Hause, in with the league clubs there. Frank Peters was on the 37th and Butler nineteen years ago, when his father was owner of the old Union Park, is turning out to be a great shortstop, one of the best that this city has turned out, and has played for the last two seasons right along with the older heads and has performed remarkably Morehouse 4. Atlanta 1. Last Saturday the Morehouse nine defeated the Atlanta University by the score of four to one, thus defeating their old-time rivals. A cold, brisk wind was blowing and made the weather very unfavorable to both players and fans. Both teams were keyed up to a high pitch and a battle royal resulted. Veteran Nance was in the box for Morehouse while Fowler took up the burden for Atlanta. It was a pitcher's battle from start to finish, and Nance having the edge held the game safe while his teammates batted to victory. The game was won in the eighth, when the Tigers landed on Fowler. The fielding of both teams was excellent and many players were pulled off. This victory makes the second straight for Morehouse. # METROLEUM R. H. O. A. E.

S'ATTING RINK TO OPEN EMOYMENT FOR RACE (By Ruth Boger.) SMART FASHIONS. DISTINCTIVE DRESS FABRICS. Fabrics mamlish and servicable for the tailored sull-sails delicate and ultra-feminine for the afternoon frock. Fabric is available in a variety of which is shown in the new unanting, one of the leading colors. The Fallie de Paris is a s.ilk used for the tailored frock or sull-sail. It is also used for the extreme new fashions; the new colorings are bisque, Belgian blue, dreadnaught grey and Bleu de Soldain. The newer sulls, both look very much like sik. The Deauville sutings are newer than serges. *Buckskin covert* is a new covert cloth used as well for top coats and sull-sails, look very much like these fabric, brown, taupe. There is in decided preference for the colors of contrast. The Notes of contrast are very few; there is even an absence of military trappings. The tones of blue de France or Joffrey blue, quite popular. The blau embraces toned green. Quantities of black, black over white, grey, grayish tans are to be seen in the dress for street wear in charmeuse, liberty satin, and in net for evening growns, claen and bonon rose are greatly used. - Speaking of costume silks I have noted two distinct endearments in the spring of 1830, the soft silk and the oped in the soft, supple materials of year—something pliable and clinging that is so soft that it can be approximated the straight silhouette, even though gathered, gored, or 'circularized into mine yards of fine wool. Second these fabrics have been made in 1830. These fabrics have a cross rib, as is noted in the dancing frock as manner all its own—also materials of mysterious loveliness; the most practical fabric is silk, and the most beautiful, very alluring if it will permit itself to be coaxed into a flare that is quite reminiscent of a crepe.

They seem plain enough to belong to a spring period in 1830 but will provide the fashion funcies of this spring. There is no question but that a hat will make or mar a costume but to have really smart hats is decidedly expensive. The best way to do it is to cloak in the ways of buying. Most every woman likes more than one hat, one for least of the tailor's work and one for less. But when she has only a limited income it is far wiser to plan one or two really good hats suitable for an extravagant price is really an economy when a hat is chosen that may be more expensive. She who has clever fingers and would turn them to account may trim a becoming shape of Milan straw with rows of ruching—as many rows as to be efficient. Turburs are always good looking and can be trimmed very simple. One model has a black velvet ribbon sprinkled hit or miss. A tiny Georgette turban of black straw hair has a black velvet ribbon black velvet loop tacked at an angle to the back, spreading wide its nails to launch the new skirt easily. Another small, close turban is effectively presented in an unusual model in cerise flesh, but is easily but unturned and close against the crown is outlined with cerise ostrich feathers there is a small cockade at The question of trimming one's own hat is a formidable one. Some women, for instance, have the slightest taste. it should be cultivated. it is really amazing what good effects can be obtained from a hat that expires in purchasing material. It is the shape and line which counts; there are many clever girls who wear hats on the foundation until a new shape is evolved—it is really as difficult as it sounds and quite worth a try. Flowers, wings, ostrich and ribbon at are in use in some form for trimming. THE HOUSEKEEPER In Season Talks on the Art of Cooking and Some Suggestions in the Various Branches of Domestic Science. By MRS. F. FLETCHER. MARKETING. Butter is one of the most palatable, easily digested and easily assimilated food ingredients, and cooking, but is also placed on the table for every meal. Butter is a very important article in the menu, and two brands of plain butter that I know to be pure and sanitary—Meadow Gold and Blue Valley. Often as a substitute for butter, I buy the bulk if the buyer can judge the good, sweet and rich flavor by tasting it. The most meat butter is artificially colored with burnished coloring. Oleoamargurite or butter cream is a good substitute for lard, cottonseed oil, milk, and a small amount of butter to flavor it. When sold as butter cream, the price it is a good substitute for butter for cooking purposes. If butter and oleoamargurite are mixed in separate dishes, the butter is a good substitute for butter and produces much foam, while oleoamargurite is producing crisply violently, including but little butter. The kitchen supply is incomplete without eggs, as they contain all the elements necessary for the cooking of the body, food and food-colored cooking oils. They are put in a mixture to lighten, to enrich or to theicken it. If an egg looks settled on the surface, light and light is in color, rather pink at the top, it is fresh. If it shows a red spot, looks settled on the surface, light and light is in color, rather gathering the shape it is stale. A fresh egg will sink to the bottom of water, while a stale will sink, since fresh is more object to the price of the egg according to the season. Cold storage eggs in dill seasons are not objected to by the price of the egg and sold at cold storage prices. In plentiful seasons one may preserve eggs in the home. One very inexpensive way to preserve eggs is to boil them in water. When cold, add one quart of water-glass. Place clean, fresh eggs in water-glass. Place clean, fresh eggs in water-glass to cover them with the water-glass mixture. They will keep fresh this way for months. When eggs are brought into the house, they are immediately in a cold, dark place. Hot Cross Buns. Correspondent Describes Plans of Ornate Building Being Erected at Nation's Capital—Similar to Central High School—News Notes. (Special to the Chicago Defender). Washington, D. C., March 26—The bulk of the excavating for the foundation of the new "M Street" High School has been completed. When the building proper is completed it is ex-pected that it will constitute the greatest school of its kind in America, it being erected for the exclusive use of race pupils. The plans were prepared by Snowden Ashford, municipal architect, in consultation with Principal E. C. Williams. The design is of the old English or Tudor style, which has become popular for academic or collegiate buildings. The purpose of the building will be shown by its expansive window surfaces and the absence of most all unnecessary architectural attributes, such as columns, belt courses, cornices and pediments, which are essential in most other styles. The building is intended to be a sort of "dignified brain factory" where light, ventilation and convenience, with safety, durability and economy combined are the prime considerations. It is stated that the building, when finished, will bear a strong resemblance to the venerable Hampton Court which Cardinal Wolsey started in 1514. That was a time when traditional methods were still productive of much craftsmanship, for example the distinctive of this example of Tudor architecture, is not known, credit has been given to a priest who, strange to say, had the same name as the principal of M Street High School. In 1690 Hampton Court was extensively remodeled by Sir Christopher Wren, and the building shows the change from Gothic to the Palladian or Renaissance style in the building as the Georgian, in England, and the Colonial style in this country. Like Central High. The new high school will have features similar to those of the new Central High School which is now in the course of construction for the use of white pupils. It will be provided with a lunch room and kitchen, drill hall, two gymnasiums, one for the boys and one for the girls; "large swimming pools, domestic science rooms, which include a suite of rooms for housekeeping instruction; drafting and free hand drawing rooms, music rooms, a library, looker rooms and lavatories and forty classrooms and forty classrooms. It will also have an assembly hall which will seat more than 1,200 persons. There will be special provisions for business and commercial instruction. Constructed with concrete and tile floors and partitions, the building will be thoroughly fireproof. It will be faced with "matt" brick, sometimes called tapestry brick on account of its resemblance to subdued colors or shades in an old rug or piece of stone. It will be a stone and terra cotta. The building will have two stories and a basement and three stories on the north or "O" street front. It will be situated at First and "O" streets Northwest. The present M Street High School was built to accommodate 450 pupils. Its present enrollment is more than 800, and libraries, study halls and other rooms not designed for the purpose of education as class rooms. That this is decidedly detrimental to the pupils is the belief of many officials. News Notes. The musical program rendered last week by the Byron brothers of Chicago at the Howard theater of this city was a "scream!" The audiences were very appreciative of their wonderful musical talent and in response to the delivery of their selections, they applauded uproaringly and the Chicagoans received encore after encore. During the last day of their stay in this city they were entertained at the nominees for the 2011 Las Lances. The patrons of Howard Theater are eagerly awaiting a return engagement and they are very proud of Mr. Andrew Thomas, the manager of the theater, and the man who was instrumental in securing the services of the Byrons. ADVICE FOR THE NERVES Well to Turn Habit of Overstrenuousness Into Some Really Profitable Channel. Are you strenuous? Do you go in for things for all they are worth? If you are an American-born woman I would long into club life, art, society, or some other pursuit because your nerves are ragged American nerves that never stop sending out impulses from dawn to dark. There is too much puilt up vitality in all of us, and yet it is better for your everlasting beauty and polite that you expand your number of activities rather than exert it over one that may be a mere fancy. I realize that this is a day of specialization, and to be a success one must adhere to one thing, but vitality is both physical and mental, and the first must not be neglected or the second will suffer. Regular walks in the country would give her the perfect equilibrium and nerve control which also and her work both need. Have you ever notices that a lot of useless things we do when our nerves are on the ragged edge? When they are rested and well you keep calm, you enjoy life and accomplish things with out leaving lines of wear on the face. If you must be strenuous in the pursuit of some object, expend a good amount of daily enthusiasm on physical exercise. The benefits will show in your looks and health and the perfection of your work.—Pittsburgh Dispatch. Daily Thought. God is better served in resisting a templateto evil than in many formal prayers.

BERT WILLIAMS HAS HIGH IDEALS (Continued from page 1.1) prejudice and every one will listen to me because I have achieved a little, I feel as though the slate is just clean and I feel as though I have been history upon it. I have been a mature man for over fifteen years, but all during this time I have been wiping off the prejudices that were written by two or three previous generations. I'm going to commence my story. Williams' Story. "I do not call what I am doing 'art' by any means. I am now playing the first-class theaters. But I am doing piffle. That is, it is little in comparison with what I want to do. Singing a half dozen coon song and telling a Negro dialect stories does not satisfy me. "I want to be the interpreter of the Negro on the stage; not the Negro you see me as now—that is, the burlesque Negro, just as the stage Jew is a Jew drawn with red paint and not with faithful black ink. The Negro has a place and a big one in the history of this country, and he has to be in the drama just as he exists in real life. "For hasn't he heart throbs? Doesn't he lie awake nights smarting under the custom that makes him a pariah in the life of the community? Isn't the flow of his life being checked as it gets under way? In fact are there considerable dramatic situations possible in the life of the average man today? Would Portray Life "I want to be the expositor of all this sort of thing. I don't want to play Hamlet or be a tragedian, but I want to paint the portrait of the Americanized Negro on the modern stage. I realize that I shall have to-work slow, and so the work will be uphill; Bert Williams, whose salary under the Ziegfeld management is said to be $52,000 Annually. but this makes it all the better. Hard work is what I want. I wouldn't like everything to come easily." Although Bert Williams does not style his own work as artistic, there are others who differ from him. A known crite in describing his acting style, Bert Williams, Negro. Bert Williams, far outshines even the genius of Ziegfeld. Williams acts and thinks. The fine artistry of his work shines through the buffooncy that he amuses us with. His acting has been well likened to a cameo. His work gives a throb of satisfaction to an evening's entertainment. In pantomime, that branch of dramatic work, he is the highest kind of comprehension and skill, he is recognized as a master." Work Wins Success. The same critic tells us that there was nothing accidental in Mr. Williams' success, but that he has reached his present position by dint of much hard work. He is a native of one of the British Bahama islands, but was brought to New York at the age of 2 years by his father, a maker of papier-mache, whose trade brought him in contact with the theaters, the attention of young Williams to the stage being brought about in this way. The family did not remain long in New York, however, but moved to Riverside, Cal., where young Williams attended the high school, from which he was graduated in due time. He then went to Dulac for the purpose of studying civil engineering, but being requested to join a little mountain bank minister show which entertained the laborers in the lumber and mining camps of California, he gave up this idea and entered upon his career as a comedian. Starred In Vaudeville Later he became noted as a member of the famous Williams and Walker company—a group of advanced colored vaudeville players, who won for themselves an international reputation. The successful work done by this group was the death of Mr. Walker, the junior member of the firm, for Bert Williams to be located with first-class companies playing at the leading theaters. That his success was, uphill work is indicated by the following words uttered by Williams in a recent interview: "I don't need to hear an actor wall about the hard jolts. We all have them. Still, I think my path has had a few extra tough spots. You see, if I have done anything it is in spite of who I am; not even because I started on the ordinary dead level." The isolation that he experienced for a short time after leaving the company of colored players led him to cultivate the acquaintance of men in books, with the result that he formed a taste for the best literature, and supplemented his high school training with extensive reading. His library in his home City city is in a versatile dining room. He williams' salary under the Ziebold management is said to be $52,000 annually. Dixie Jubilee Singers. Los Angeles has had the opportunity during the past week of judging of the Negro's capability for entertaining as an actor and as a singer of folk songs and jubilee melodies. The Dixie Jubilee Company, for more than twenty years delighting audiences of various kinds throughout this country, has been the audience at Trinity Auditorium recently, is a group of favorites whose melodies have been appreciated) by trained cars accustomed to the rendering of sonnets from the Southland. Each member, this williant company has used not only in several Patti and Melba, and received the highest compliments from each, has been styled the "Patti of the race" by the Chicago Tribune and Record Herald. In the world's congress of song at the Chicago exposition in 1833 Mme. Buckner was given a place of honor. The programs presented by this company are selected from a fine repertoire of music, such as Negro inlubiles, sentiment songs of the Southland home, cabin and river songs of the old slavery days, camp meeting songs, and new and old jubilees.

A few years ago there came into the fight—our fight—a big, broad, generous, self- sacrificing woman, in the person of Celia Parker Woolley, who gave up her all, moved into the heart of the “black belt,” establishing the Frederick Dotiglass enter, where gathered from time to time the thinkers of both races to discuss the problem which coricérned one side as much as it did the other. For-a while interest was keen in the movement, the public responded generously—never as generously as they should, however—and it seemed that from this | modest beginning would grow an institution whose strength and whose influence for good would be felt all over the country. But the same thing happened to this splendid project that ‘has hap- pened;to many similar projects: the newness wore off, those mostly benefited dropped away, Jeaving only the usual few-earnest ones to carry/on the work. ‘The Chicago Evening Post editorially says: “Prederick Douglass Center has just completed its tenth year of work on behalf of the colored people of Chicago. At least, that is the statement that most of the people who know of the Center’s existence would make if they were asked about the age and work of the institution. But the Rev. Celia Parker Wooley, who founded the social settlement at 3032 Wabash avenue, would object to her work being described as ‘on behalf of the colored people of Chi- cago! For she rightly regards the activities carried on from the modest dwelling house where she spends so many months a year as something more than a local philanthropy. She regards the work of Frederick Douglass Center as primarily educational, and as educational for the white people who participate in it or visit it as for the colored: people who come'there to learn. Relieving that mutual Knowledge must precede sympathy and sympathy precede any attempts to minimize race friction and economic and other handicaps on the Negro. Mrs. Woolley has devoted the last ten years to bringing about this knowledge and this sympathy, Whether in prosperous times the income—for there: is no endow- ‘ment—of the settlement has been relatively larger or whether, as at present, it has shrunk to relatively very low dimensions, this work of steady enlightenment, encouragement, sympathy and the removal of prejudice has gone on, and if Chicago sces to it that ‘the work does go on, in spite of the greater publicity and more emotional appeals of so many other movements, the city will have made no mean contribution toward ultimate race peace in Amer- ica.” .To have the white press constantly pointing out facts that we should be conversant with and intimating that which is true, we 4o not appreciate the blessings we already have, to say the least, is indeed embarrassing. TEvery movement for. the uplift of the race should receive our hearty support aud we bespeak for Celia Parker Woolley, our friend, the generous and loyal support she so richly deserves.

It has been found | ‘that some people infected with the| pheumococcic germs and their toxines will die, and it does not make any dif- ference what line of treatment is fol- lowed, and that some will get well with little or no treatment. Not Due to Cold. ‘Too many people firmly believe and act upon the foolish belief that pneu- monia 4s due to “cold,” and that it is dangerous to allow the poor sufferer with pnewmonia to have a breath of fresh alr, cold air or “night air”; that it is harmful to give the poor sufferer, however high his fever may be, a glass of cold water, a sip of cold milk or lemonade, ete.; that a drop of cold water (or, for that matter, any other ind of water) should not be allowed to touch the poor sufferer for any Kind of a bath until the fever breaks or subsides. This is an erroneous and hurtful idea, Pneumonia Js Due to a Germ. Pneumonia is due to a germ or micro-organism, called in mediéal par- lance Friedlander’s pneumo-bacillus, and another germ known as A. Fraen- kel's diplococcus lanceolatus. But we do not care about these large medical terms. What we want to understand most are those predisposing causes or things that lead up to and make us most susceptible to pneumonia, = * Predisposing Causes. Among the predisposing causes to pneumonia are: Age—Children under one year, adults over 40 years, and very bad in very aged people, Sex —More men than women have pneu- monia, and the death rate is higher among men than among women. Bad, foul afe turlshes a good medium for the germs of pneumonia to get busy. Stully living and sleeping rooms are good breeders of the germs. Oh, how afraid are we of opening the windows of our bedrooms! In some of our homes early in the fall we close up and often:nail up the windows to keep out the “cold air,” the “night air"; and these windows we nail up and keep hermetically sealed up, with dogs, cats and other germ-carrying animals as our compan- ions, until the following May or June, when we are compelled to withdraw the nails from the windows to permit the decorators to get a little fresh air while they clean the house. Other important factors are overwork, de- bility, run-down condition, la grippe, bronchitis (a long intractable bron- chitis is often followed by pneumonia), chronte intestinal diseases, cold and damp weather such as the breaking up of winter and the coming in of early spring. Just now, during the months of March, April and the early part of May, will be levied the heaviest tri- bute on the part of-"The Captain of the Man of Death,” pneumonia. Dia- betes and tuberculosis are often ac- companied or complicated by pneu- monia. We can best avoid pneumonia by avoiding overheated houses, assem- biles, crowds, theaters, churches and places where the air is stuffy and con- taminated when we have a bad cold or when we are not feeling well. Your “Easter Front” and Pneumonia. We urgently advise that you be very careful in discarding your winter flan- nels—your winter clothing in general —in order to put on your ice cream “Easter front” on April 4, A year or 50 ago we well know of two persons who contracted what you call a severe cold while displaying their “Easter fronts,” and it developed into pneu- moni. One died within twenty-four hours after the onset of the disease, and the other died shortly afterward. He looked very gay and fine in his “Baster front,” and his friends in view- ing his remains were often heard say- ing: “He looks so natural"; “Just as though he is asleep"; “He certainly makes a beautiful corpse”; “I certain. ly do enjoy funerals"; “Did he not make a fine showing in his ‘Easter front’?"” Let ud advide our lady readers of ‘these columns not to lay aside your heavy wraps on Palm and Easter Sun- days in order to display your beauti- ful new gowns, as your health is your best asset. ‘Too much exposure of the chest—too much exposure to cold and dampness of the feet, ankles and lower extremities in- order to look. ia a 1 Dr. A.

How to Tell Pneumonia and What to Do. Lobar paeumonia—or that form ‘which is most treacherous and that claims the greatest tribute in the way of deaths of human beings—as a rule is a disease that is sudden in its on- set. Pirst there ig a hard, severe chit! in adults (in @ child there may not be @ chill, but conyulsions), pain“in the abdomen, and Yomiting.’ There is a great riso of fever, shortness of breath, rapid pulse rate, severe head- ache, and in drunkards there may be delirium early. ‘There is pain in side affected which is 1a0re severo it the pleura is involved; pain will be sticky, stabbing in character; there will be a dry, painful cough, short in character, You may expectorate a g'airy, tena- cious, rusty, blood-tinged sputum dur- ing the first twenty-four hours, ‘There may be general soreness all over your “body. When you find yourself in this con- ition do not allow your friends to advise you that it is “only @ cold,” and that you can be cured by using home remedies, or by using what was obtained at the drug store fer some one who was “sick just like you.” But we advise that you take a hot bath, and if it {s not conventent for you to take @ hot bath then take @ hot foot bath, a good rub, and go to bed; have your windows lowered so fresh air ean enter; take a good brisk laxative and send for your physician immedi- ately, : With acute lobar pneumonia you get better in from seven to ten days, or you get worse and die in from seven to eleven days; and whatever 1s go- ing to be done ini a case of pneumonia must be done systematically, intelli- gently and immediately. DEFENDER’S LEGAL HELPS Pianos on Instaliment.~ {~~ / About a year ago I bought a plano on the installment plan. Shortly alter- wards the company became insol¥ent and went into bankruptey. At the time T bought the piano I signed some Papers. The Recelver of the bankrupt has made a demand on me for the r6- turn of the piano, Must I give up the piano to the Receiver? I havo not @ copy of the papers I signed. Answer: In the first place, proper advice cannot be given you because you have no copy of the papers or RE re te an purchased the plano. This is a véty common mistake almost universally made by people in ordinary business, In the future remember that whenever you sign any paper or contract in. Which someone else is to have a copy you should be sure and secure one for yourself in order that if necessary you will not only know your rights, but will be able to protect them whenever they are violated, The fact that you have no copy of the contract It is im possible to tell what your rights are under the circumstances and:the eo- tract, More About Installments, “I made a deposit of $20 on furniture costing $195.00, to be purchased on the installment plan, and signed“a com tract at the time of the depostt.’ ‘The furniture dealer did not give me a copy of the contract. The next morning I decided I did not wish to buy the:fur- niture aud called up tho furniture store and cancelled the delivery of the order. Subsequently I called at the furniture store and asked for the re- turn of my money, but the, dealer re- fused to return the same. ° Can'I re- cover my $20.00? Ce Answer: Without a copy éf the contract you signed it is impossible to give to you the proper logal ‘advice. However, the furciture store, tf sued, must give you value received for your money or return the money, Where no delivery of.the goods was made, the chance of the storekeeper proving damages to the amount of $20.00 is very slim. You should bring suit at once, . py
