SCANDAL ROCKS PILLARS OF BETHEL A.M.E. CHURCH FINAL EDITION Chicago Defender WORLD'S GREATEST WEEKLY MORE CONVICTIONS IN RIOT TRIALS DR. BUNDY MAKES STATEMENT VOL. XII., NO. 48 SCANDA MORE DR. BU Sentences Are Light; Public Not Pleased BY J. M. BATCHMAN Staff Correspondent of the Chicago - Defender St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 30—Justice is not running rampant in the city of East St. Louis these days. Saturday, three white men were found guilty for having taken part in the riots which occurred in East St. Louis on July 2. Richard Brockway, assistant claim agent of the East St. Louis & Suburban Railway Co., and an influential person in the republican politics of the time, were charged in the Chester panitential and fined $1,000. John Tish was also given five years, but John Johnson was let down with a one year sentence. Two other persons, gone against change is brought about. It is an evident fact that persons of color will suffer more than the whites, who were the aggressors and upon whose shoulders rests the blame for the riots. ORGY. The five men had been on trial for three weeks. Including the result of this trial only nine white men have now received a sentence. The riot, besides a number of jail sentences, ten persons of color received penitentiary sentences in the first of the riot trials. The best known of the defendants tried thus far in the riot cases. Witnesses for the prosecution testified that Brockway led the rioters who attacked negroes in the streets, and that he talked in an interview that he had been trying to "start something." It was established that he made a speech at the meeting in Labor Temple at the general outburst of violence against persons of color. One witness testified that he met Brookway on the day of the riot and Brookway said to him: "I was afraid to kill the first Negro I met." Others testified that Brookway, in his Labor Temple speech, said he had lived in the south and "knew how Negroes were judge Crow required an hour to read his instructions to the jury. In referring to the testimony of Brookway, whom the state contends was a leader of one of the mobs, Judges Crow and Doubout in the minds of the jurors that Brookway's professed intentions were not what his real intentions were, they should find him guilty. One of the five defendants on trial told how Freed Moore (white) an acquaintance, was shot and killed as they stood talking at Broadway and Brookway. Dickerson also told of having seen two other white men shot at the same corner after Moore's body was taken away. This is the only disturbance he district in the early part of downtown ning, he testified. Court was adjourned, following his testimony, until Monday. Dickerson was the fourth defendant to testify during presentation of testimony for defense. Richard Brookway, another of the defendants, will probably be placed on the stand next day, Friday were John Tish Johnson, A. Andrews and John Johnson. Says He Watched Fires Dickerson said he spent from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. in the store of the 1-monument furniture Co. (a. 23) Collinsville avenue, where he out to watch the Negro houses and opera house burning on Broadway, he testified. He left Eighth street. I walked to Fourth street and Broadway. Ierson told. "There I saw the body of a Negro hanging from a pole. There was a large crowd there and fifteen or twenty militants were dispersing. Whom I met there, I went up tollsville avenue to Missouri avenue. "We then went over to Second street. There helped a woman carry the street out of her house. The house was burning. Try to Prove Alibi Joseph Moxley, a junior, told previously of having been chased by a mob and identified Dickerson as the man who tried to seize him after he had fled into the undertaking parlor. This, Moxley related, took place in the morning. Dickerson was also identified by William Alaridge (white) as the man who aided in hanging the man of color on Fourth Street. Dickerson testified he worked with Alaridge three years ago and they quarreled. There had been bad feeling between them since Dickerson rotated. Samuel Morgan (white) East St. Louis, corroborated Dickerson's testimony of their meeting and also told of having walked about with Dickerson until they went home, about 11 p.m. Mrs. Tample Dickerson, Dickerson's mother, who has attended each session of the trial, took the stand in her room's defense. She did not know where Dickerson went the night of the riot, but said he came home to lunch and supper the same as usual. Seven witnesses testified during the hearing of the defense of Andrews. Elmer Taylor (white) a blacksmith, said he was in Andrews' blacksmith show working with Andrews, all day. He said he was not told, to go to the corner saloon for a drink. He told of Andrews asking a mob operating near the shop to go THE SOLDIERS Standing, Left to Right—Lawrence W., First Lieut. James E., Maj. William B., Jr., First Lieut. Herbert R., First Lieut.

He is a graduate Tufts Dental college. He is now awaiting his assignment. There are three other sons in the away and not destroy the peoples' houses. The case of Dr. Leroy N. Bundy, charged with complicity in the murder of two policemen, was called Tuesday, and his was anticipated, his lawyers said, in a fair trial could not be bad in St. Clair county. Judge Crow gave the lawyers for Dr. Bundy ten days in prison, and the judge decided. The state is not expected to make a strong fight on this point and some developments may be looked for shortly. Mayor Mollman's case was dismissed, and the public may be informed and probably will not be until the Bundy case has been gone into. Only the future can tell what will be the outcome, and the public may be informed. Dr. Bundy has adequate legal talent to protect his interests and see that his case is fought to the bitter end. While he is the most prominent man to be tried and the prosecution will make his hardest fight on him, the National Association for the Advancement of Women has Bundy and his friends been entrusted his case, is leaving no stone unturned to set this innocent man free. How will he be handled with wrong impression; the N. A. C. P. is making a common fight for Dr. Bundy and the accused men who preceded him. The Race demands the truth, the fight, and simple. N. A. A. C. Reports There was a large and enthusiastic meeting of the Association for the Advancement of Colored People at the street, last Wednesday night. The report of monies collected for the East St. Louis Refugee Relief and Defense Fund was highly commendable, yet few of the monies collected were the total receipts were $2,833.22; $2,177.21 was expended, leaving $456.01 on hand. Of the contributions, this amount was the largest of Cleveland gave $200 and Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Crawford of St. Louis, parents of Mrs. Bundy, gave $101. The Chicago branch gave the total of $200, $100, $100, and $100, individuals did nobly. The only way to win this fight is to keep at it. More Trials on A jury was completed Saturday afternoon in the case of six white men, charged with conspiracy in the race riot, who are being tried before Judge Cowan of the District Court. Judge Cowan of Belleville has presided in the previous riot trials. The defendants are Mike Evanhoff, George Zeman, John Rogers, Chester Last, and the defendant last-named has but one leg.

Mrs. C. L. Slipper, the son of Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Slipper, 9,000 Word Document Tells of Rotten Political Conditions in Rot Town A sworn statement, signed by Leroy N. Bundy, leader in East St. Louis, who is under an indictment for murder, growing out of the race rings there, was obtained by the press of the country. The affidavit, containing more than 3000 words, tells of alleged wholesale fraud committed during the East St. Louis mayoralty elections of 1915 and 1917, and in the election of the Trustees of the Levee District in 1916. Many Democratic and a few Republican leaders are charged by Bundy with having conspired to buy thousands of votes, and with having extorted money from saloon keepers and others for campaign purposes. The conspiration was inscribed in the election of Mayor Fred Mollman (white), and the 1916 campaign ended with the election of a Democratic Levee board, of which Locke Tarton (wife) was rescued president. *Statemen Followed Conferences* Bundy made the conference, after conferences with leaders from St. Louis and representatives of the attorney-general's office. It was signed just ahead in the presence of Bundy's desire to hold a statement, and prolonged their benignity. Johnson was notified last night that it had been signed, and it is probable that the matter will be the subject of hearing by the committee before Congress. Tells of Election Methods The affidavit begins with a recital of the events preceding the election of Mayor Molliman, in 1915, and deals with the election of Gerald Mollian (white), former city mayor in Molliman's behalf. Gerald took charge of the color end of the campaign several months ago, and spent a week saying, and spent a week saying in his efforts to induce them to support Molliman. Bundy stated that the money came from a prominent Democrat who went largely to hire persons of color to work at the polls. "In some pre-election think there were only 100 votes they had 55 or 40 workers," he explained. Bundy described a system which he says was used in the Levee Board election to determine the "fush system". Those termed the "fush system": "the pay for the votes had a "checker" in the polls, he said. After one had checked, he said, the checker a "fush" at it, Bundy stated. It continued, the "checker" signaled a worker on the outside, who took the "pay-off man", who had headquarters near, and who paid out the money. Says "Workers" Got $5 a Day Sunday was a Day Bundy admitted that he supported those who practiced this test, said he protested to the white leader that it was dangerous. The leader replied, he said: "he did not I care?" If the fellows haven't any better sense than to be caught, that is the business. It is cold turkey with me. Bundy was a leader in a negro-program organization, he said, which supported the organization. "The expenses of maintaining a black institution were borne by the white politician, he said, and hundreds of "workers" of color recruited by the organizers paid $5 a day each, in both the 1911 elections, from the same source he added. Expenses More Than $1,500 The organization's expenses, including the money paid to workers, was between $1,500 and $1,500, he said, and did not include the money used in the vote. He did not claim to know what votes he was expended this way, but said some of the white "pay off men" had $150 to the prefect. There are 33 precincts in the city. Budd said that the white leader told him after election that the votes cast for the candidates was supporting cost him $10 a head. "Do you know anywhere near the amount used by the 'pay off men'—was it more than the amount paid the workers, or less?" Woods inquired. "Possibly not quite as much, because in some precincts they had 35 (Continuing on page 3) ANOTHER MAN SAVED FROM JAWS OF SOUTH Battle Creek, Mich. Nov. 30—Gov. Albert T.

L., Nov. 30, 2006. Some of the reasons why the 367th infantry should be the proudest, laudest and hardest fighting regiment in the national army include swagger stiles, boasted stationery and a motto that just about beats any motto known around army camps. The national army uses a motto upon which their efforts to become soldiers is being raised, and it take it from Buck Private—Regimental Song Writer George W. Battle—every man in the army. This regiment of Negro soldiers is no part of the New York division of the national army, in spite of the fact that the majority of men in it are from New York. They are trained and trained here. In some ways it might be considered as having just been adopted into the cantonment for the purpose of making its members the officers of the corps corporated in the Ninety-second division, to go to France and there help the other armies of the civilized world uphold the principles of democracy. In the division of the regiment who has not helped make history. From Colonel James A. Moss and the white field officers right on along the line to the captains and first active service under the American flag. They have followed the flag to the Philippines and to Cuba, into Mexico and to Port-au-Prince. There is Captain William Wilson, the first soldier of soldiers of color, until recently the ranking non-comissioned officer of the regular army, and now commissioned as a reward for his previous service. It was Captain Williams, then a corporal in the old Twenty-fourth infantry, who helped drive the Spaniards out of their the blockhouse on San Juan Hill, Cuba, in July, 1888. It was Batista's same old Twenty-fourth infantry who took part in the Philippine insurrection and went with Brigadier Samuel Young's "Flying brigade" through the northern part of the island of Lazon in the Philippines, most to the headquarters of the famous chief, Aguinaldo. His reward came in 1901, when he was appointed regimental sergeant major of the Tropical Army. And when it became known that there was to be a division of the national army made up of men of color, Regimental Sergeant Major Walt B. Williams began to look around to locate the commanders. It was Colonel Moss with whom he soon was in communication. A few weeks ago the training period was completed and Colonel Moss made a promise. He sent for Captain Williams and Captain Williams came her. "But there is one more favor I'd like to have you to do for me, Colonel," said the captain when his commander finished him instructions. It doesn't amount to very much either. **Sergent Green Not Forgotten** "What is it?" Colonel Moss asked. "Well, Colonel, there's old Top Sergeant Green. He was with the old Twenty-fourth at San Juan and in some of his regimental exchange stations near N. Carolina, in the Twenty-fourth. Can't we have him here for our exchange? He's a good soldier and he hasn't been as lucky as I. He hasn't any compulsion and he hasn't been as lucky as I. He just is out of luck and—and—he's mighty ding exchange steward." A week ago the new regimental exchange steward was appointed. It was old Sergeant Green, veteran of many wars, just now in luck, who got the vacancy. Commanders of the four infantry regiments have have begun to prepare for the days when snow and rain will be expected, positions now honeycomb and dripping, rackets and racks, and rather than wait until the regular ranges are, completed several company commanders have given their men an opportunity to fire service ammunition.

BUNDY'S DEFENSE New York, Nov. 30—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has just won a tremendous victory for the Race in the unanimous decision court in the Louisville segregation case, but the association does not intend to stand still upon that victory. It has already undertaken a fight of securing for the Hace men accused and convicted of murder in the East St. Louis plots a fair trial and every benefit under the law to which undertaking this light not only in behalf of the individual men concerned, but in order that the blame of being the initial cause of the horrors which place at E. Nero, Sr. the not be said. Although the people of color were sufferers and victims, several hundred of them having been beaten and killed, the number of people who far has been the conviction of ten Colored men with sentences of fourteen years each in the penitentiary. On the other hand, two or three white men were convicted of killing sentences and only a few days age three of the white men charged with rioting were sentenced to thirty days each, a sentence in some parts of the country imposed for being drunk and disorderly. Great interest now centers around the trial of Dr. Leroy Grabow, Dr. Bunny Grabow, and the most prominent men of East St. Louis. He is charged with inciting riot and murder, and it is declared that he is guilty of inciting riot and murder in his case. The National Association has already begun steps to seize the property of the man responsible for Dr. Bunny and will spare no effort or expense to give him a fair trial and the fullest protection under Dr. Rundy's case is not merely an individual case. It is in a large sense the case of the entire Race, and so the National Association will national appeal for co-operation and funds to assist it in the defense of Dr. Rundy. Already the St. Louis branch, from the day immediately following the national appeal for co-operation and funds, the branch has raised and expended, for the benefit of refugees, in collecting evidence against the rioters, and in defending men of color who were involved in the Louis branch is still putting forth every effort, with the National Association standing behind it and working through it. Dr. Rundy's trial begins this week. It is a trial in which every good citizen, every low of law and order and true democracy, should be interested in such the National Association for the benefit of Colored People makes this appeal.

Say, Clara, Mr. W. would be a very handsome young man if it wasn't for his awfully bad hair, wouldn't he? Oh, he's all right now; he had his barber treat his hair with Palm Cream, and now he is simply a dream. Our Palm Cream will not only straighten hair, but will keep it straight. Water or change of climate will not affect it. We have thousands and thousands of men today—men in all walks of life throughout this country, South America, the West Indies and various parts of Africa—using our goods. It is not always that a manufacturer can succeed with his goods in his own home town. He often has to seek fields far away. But not so with us. We have succeeded in our home. If you know a barber in New York, write and ask him what he thinks of Palm Cream. Palm Oil is an accessory to Palm Cream, as it grows the hair and keeps it beautiful. If your hair is harsh and dry or brittle it needs Palm Oil. If it is slick, stubborn and will not grow it needs Palm Oil. Palm Oil is not that soft, greasy meps used by so many people for the hair. It is dry and neat; it will not grease your hat, but will give your hair that beautiful, glossy effect so much desired by everyone. Big inducements offered to agents. Special rates to barbers.

He be seen in her great productions. The Times described the States剧院 for two days, Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 1 and 2. For as many years as stars have been in her productions, Miss Tanguy has been besieged with alluring offers, but she rejected all overtures until now. Mr. Selznik engaged in negotiations with her nearly identical and premature announcements were made, and she contracted a contract with him. The deal was called off, however, only to be resumed a short time ago and consummated once. Miss Tanguy brings to the moving picture screen a unique personality and the largest individual following of any vaudeville artist in the world. She is also for business in all the principal vaudeville houses in America and abroad. For this reason Miss Tanguy is regarded by a vast number of people as distinctively a vaudeville and musical success because that her vaudeville success has been so great that a number of years ago she made a name for herself in dramatic acting. She is, therefore, not only an artist playing upon a big reputation in another field, but is an actress of remarkable ability returning to her first love. Miss Tanguy's first production is a lavish one in every respect. She is surrounded by a cast which is in every way worthy of her talents; and no actress of her prints were spared in creating a photo show. In lishing this star in the screen world upon as high a plane as that which she occupies on the stage itself. In speaking of the new arrival in his rapidly growing constellation of stars Mr. Selznick "I have been of the opinion for a long time that Miss Tanguy would prove one of the biggest attractions in the film business.

AUSTIN & BAILEY The team of Austin & Bailey, who are the feature of a strong bill at the Avenue theater this week, is one of the most popular in big time vaudeville. Prime favorites with the theater fans are always a welcome act on any bill the team has covered every important time the country, and the title of the act, "The Syncaped Hotel," conveys a great meaning to those who know the ability of this pair of comedians. As the new and the old bellhops in the hostelry have an opportunity to laureate their authors and they never fail to deliver. They leave on a long trip immediately after this engagement. The End Man's Thanksgiving By TONY LANGSTON It takes a bunch of actors to get together and talk shop in a manner that will make a fellow's feelings run the gamut, clear from the side-splitting his "weep" that a part of a man's duty who is being entertained along a line that calls for it, no matter how rotten the idea is presented. Bonesy the Endman, while not an inspiring sight as far as manly beauty is concerned is as a fellow has a smile that splits his physio across the middle until both ends meet around by the back of his neck and a way of telling "experiences" that makes him as good a monologist off stage as on. That's why we are busy today reviewing this book happened. And this is why Bonesy saw. "Every time that Thanksgiving roles around it freshens my memory of the day that the Fates really did their stuff. This is the third one off, and the first one that I missed showing "chowing" for the tots at school. When I was a "Pick" in my home town, Glnsbury, Miss. I used to pull a "Nows-boy's Minstrels" thing about three times during the winter months, using a lot of stage-struck shilmes for the purpose, and realizing enough of the shilmes to put the pantry. Once in a while the Ofays in the town pulled an entertainment, and my rep around there got so good that their shows weren't considered complete without your old friend, Buneyes doing his famous single or two, and the old man-matter like they had grown to like it. "Well, one day the Big Circus hit town; I didn't have the price of a ticket into the big tent, so I took my little dimetels and mosed into the slideshow, after being entertained by a bally-hoo, which included a hootch group as a starter and finished with the regulation 'Sunny South' group of real Smokes; they had a comedian named Jake, who had a lot of experience and after seeing him put his wares on I concluded that I had him skinned about a thousand ways. "To make a long story short, I stayed in that tent for three shows, and the longer I stuck the more I figured that that comedian was my meat. I missed last afternoon show was over. I missed the second show there sat the 'jubilee' bunch storing their cats: I must have been looking kinder light around the belt to the head of the bunch, for he waved for me to jine, and in another minute there I sat in the corner of the front of me. I gave him the history of my life and that night he allowed me to cork up and fill in. I went so good that that night I put all my things together and dropped out of the old bedroom window without saying a word of the leaves a sign that would lead the old folks to know which way I was headed. "Three weeks later, I had replaced the regular comedian, had had a raise in salary and had signed a contract in salary and had years. Well the big mistake that I made was to come one; I didn't write home. Yes, sir, for two years I never sent a word back, and then one I met a fellow on the street in Pittsburgh; he had lived next door to us Glinsberg. He told me the movie to go with from there over a year before. I got busy and sent a special delivery letter, which came back marked 'no such person in town.' He smiled after that I joined out with the Florida Minutes, and a great name, and we covered what looked like every hamlet south of the Mason-Dixon line. I had worked up to be one of the "supreme" endmen, and do that, myself, there wasn't a show that I did. I didn't go to bergwell. Well, three years ago today we were booked into a little town by the name of Fredlink. Ala. We pulled our usual morning parade routine and matinee we went in a body to little town, and the river and ate every bit of game the man had except big checker board. "Now, down in that section of the country, the white folks occupy the main floor and balcony, while the gallows are our band stood out in front of the theatre night, tearing off a bunch of rags in a manner that brought the natives out on masse. I got the old folks on my mind and no matter what else I would talk about they kept popping up in my life till I fell for the feller could. It had been seven years since I had blowed from home, and in that time I hadn't even heard from them. When our 'free concert' was over, we seemed to have dragged the theater was packed and jammed to the Big 'first part' was riot; song after song and gag after rag went over to the good matured applause of the jam 'The Woman God Forgot' Never in the history of her career has Geraldine Farrar been afforded a vehicle that discloses to better advantage her wonderful histrionic talents. That "The Woman God Forgot" is her greatest character cinema, not the generally conceded, not the noted primate with whom she seen in this great feature at the Forklord theater, two days, Saturday and Sunday of the present week. When the massive sets were built for the production of "Intolerance," it was thought that the last word in the construction of photo dramatic sets was the famous producer Cecil B. DeMille, the famous producer of gone ove that famous set one better. The scenes of "The Woman God Forget" are laid during the Spanish conquest of the Aztecs and Mr. De Mille had erected an exact reproduced, famous pyramid of Teocall, surrounded by a wall. This one set covers an area of two square miles and the pyramid is nearly 200 feet in height and of the most substantial construction, owing to the fact that over a thousand men built up the stairways and inclines of the pyramid. Interior of the pyramid is also complete in most minute detail, the huge sacrificial room being reproduced to the exact size of the room in which the High Priest of Aztec sacrificed his human victims to the Aztec gods. We now show the huge private swimming pool and the garden of Montezuma's daughter. This pool was especially built for this production and is in the garden containing the Temple of the Sacred Bird. Don't fail to see this wonderful picture. A FINE NOVELTY The Race of Man, or The World in Harmony, is the title of one of the best singing novelties ever seen at the Great Northern Hippodrome; the act is playing thirtier theatre for the present rock and is creating a new nation. In the cast is an Indian, Chinese, Hawaiian, white man and a member of the Race—all vocalists of high class—and each sings a song of his own native, single, and several numlars are. Prof. Pucker Ramsay, the famous man of New York city, is one of the members of the act. ADDITIONAL STAGE NEWS WILL BE FOUND ON PAGE 5 --- A FINE NOVELTY in front; and then the 'middle man' put on the announcement that introduced me and my pally on the tamborne end; take pleasure in introducing to your name the greatest comedians in the world, Messra, Tambo and Boney. "We bursted on the stage in the usual manner, crossing over and shaking off the sweat and just dropped into our seats when I heard yell in the gallery, 'That's him, Paw; that's him,' followed by the beating on the wall of the 'officer' with his ear stick and the loud shouts of the crowd, 'You're set down—set down.' In a minute the whole theater was in an up-oar; the white folks on the ground floor and in the balcony were all on their feet cunning their necks to see what was the crowd doing, and they didn't sit again until I was well into the chorus of my song. "The manager of the house went into the gallery and discovered that the ornate row of the bucket was an aged wine cellar. He brought his own home as housekeeper and butler, and when they told him that their boy was one of the minstrels on the floor, he brought them down and back of the room. Then as as my music had been played and I was stepping out to do my monologue. "As I hit the middle of the stage I began winging out dashed the pair of them, followed by another all met in the middle and before I had a chance to learn who they were or realize what was coming off, the man stopped the orchestra with a sweep of his hand. "Just a minute, please. This old gent and his wife have been employed in my family for six years and this man is my son, who they haven't seen for a long time. "The show will go on in a minute." "Now, I don't going to try to tell you what happened in the next few minutes, but when the first wrestle was over, what cork hadn't been washed off by the water, I couldn't hold back had been rubbed out by the kisses that Paw and Maw had showered on me, and through the mist of all I could hear money hitting all us on the floor. Dollars, halves, quarters, all I could just jolted all over the stage, and rolls of bills to boot. It took our stage carpenter a half an hour to gather the dough up in a satchel, and after the show was over and we had counted $168, the total was a bloop over $168. That sure was the greatest. That sure for me, and I guess it won't be even tied if I live to be older than Bob Kelly or John Rucker." "And what did they do with the money?" we all asked. "Do with it? What do you think they would do with it? They bought the best thing that money can buy in the south—tickets to the north." AVENUE 31st Street and "COME A Continuous DAILY 7:30 TO 11 P. M.

Lehrman conceived a comedy situation in 'this in the Sunshine comedy, "Roaring Lions and Wedding Bells," which he made for William Fox, and which is the first release of these comedy productions. "Unconcerned," Lehrman told the men. "You show the lions' won't hurt you." "Yessir, we knows, but do the lions know? " anxiously inguired the man. More perfectly good film was spooled in the taking of this scene than in all Lehrman comedy making. The two men of color insisted on looking anxiously at the scene, but was turned loose, and it was after repeated trials only that the scene was finally made. The plot is a peculiar one. Ham Berger, Frank Furter and I. M. C. Gillard were with the girl. Their efforts to win the each other in the performance of hairraising stunts. During their adventures are introduced emotional outbursts, laughing lions, educated elephants, and a dog. There are so many laughs and they follow so fast that it is practically one big, continuous howl. It comes to the States theater on Saturday and Sunday with Eva Tanguay. It is in two reels. MILITARY COMPANY The following letter hit the Old Roll Top Desk a few days ago and tells all about how nicely one of the greatest acts in all vauduville is getting along in the west.

STATES ORCHESTRA During the engagement of "intolerance," which great attraction broke all attendance records at the States the after the three days it ran last week, the work of E. W. Bailey's orchestration attracted a great deal of attention and comment. Its work was fine, as the orchestrations which come with the great feature are of the most difficult sort. Mr. Saunders, western representative for "Intolerance," claimed that the orchestra's work was the best he had heard since the long engagement of the picture at the Colonial theater, where the orchestra which officiated had 30 pieces. Going some. “Night With the Negro” Big Success People were turned away Sunday night at Orchestra hall, where “Night With the Negro” was given for the benefit of the Young Woman’s Christian Association.

Germ Distributors For the sake of cleanliness and also for public deceeney, we should discourage the practice among people who drive cars and offer the conductor money which has been paid to the mouth and is fresh with saliva. This practice is indulged in frequently by the older people, and is particularly offensive to any decent person, and is particularly useful for insulting remarks from the conductor. Another point is that it is decidedly unsanitary. Girls Hold Good Positions The Paul Mandeville Co.

The penalty for deserition in war time is either the most extreme penalty pay or a term of thirty years of imprisonment at hard labor. A drafted citizen is inducted into the army upon the hour specified for him to report by the adjutant general of his state, according to the decision of the war department head. It further points out that the registrant cannot use as an excuse the fact that he did not receive mail notice of his call, for, it is not noted, this mail notice is for his convenience only. From the date upon which the provost marshal of the state notifies a registrant of his service begins his service in the army, and if he fails to report he is regarded as a deserter, regardless of whether notice was received, the order states. One of the first things taught a man when received in an organization here is to deliver a desertion, a part of the duties of war. Regulations to Be Read Regulations provide that each soldier shall have these articles of war read to him as often as is necessary for him thoroughly to understand them, and that the articles of war read to the articles are translated for his benefit. If a man deserts after that there is the consideration given to him by the submarine and the dire penalty may result. There have been very few cases of desertion in this camp of the national army. Two men have been taken to federal prison to serve lengthy terms. Others may be sentenced. Seven others of absence without leave are pending an appeal of the court's technical desertions before the courts have finished with their findings. Military discipline is not always a thing for the commanding officer to deal out or the court-martial to emphasize. Whenever men are living in groups together it becomes necessary at some time or other to give the law an official form. The offender and that rule used in the army probably does more for the common good than the corrective measures taken by official judges.

The police Nice Station, 35th and Rhodes avenue, Thursday at 2:30 p. m. After having heard the testimony of several witnesses, the case was transferred to the Municipal court, 35th and Halsted streets, where an inquest was held for this (Wednesday) at 2:20 ockl. The first witness called to the stand was Mrs. Nellie Dixon, 8 East 37th street, who threw Miss Polk the keys she might obtain entrance to Dr. Harris's morning. Mrs. Dixon rented an apartment from the doctor. Her statement strongly corroborated the statements made by Miss Polk. Mrs. Ada Passa-lembe East 450rd street, who is alleged to have lied to the doctor's office of Dr. Harris, was the second witness called, and gave damaging testimony against Miss Polk. She stated that Miss Polk severely abused the doctor's office, and threatened to kill her. This evidence was in direct conflict with the testimony offered by Miss Polk, and had little weight with the Jurors. Dr. McDowell, 3518 Calumet street, is the story of the romance of Dr. Harris's strength of testimony seemed to favor the contention of Miss Polk, who claimed that she was engaged to Dr. Harris for the past five years. Dr. Harris has in her personal friend of Dr. Harris for many years. Amid the din of intense excitement and surrounded by spectators eager to hear the story of the woman who fired told a fatal shot, Miss Josephine Polk told her the shooting, and her nerves were stunned posed throughout the storming of questions heaped upon her by the coroner and State's Attorney McCauley. Miss Polk's story was an exact recital of the shooting. Several other witnesses last week. She told of meeting mail carrier who gave her the information that the doctor was in his office, and of the scuffle that resulted in the shooting. Several other witnesses were killed; the evidence was of minor importance. The coroner's jury was composed of Jesse Binga, banker: O. C. Richardson, merchant tailor: Wm. Jones, grocer; Green, real estate agent; Chas LaBatidge, pharmacist, and Geo. Williams, barber.

HIGGINBOTHAM The leading and energetic mason and general contractor of Chicago, who has met with great success in his line of work. J. Vasper N. Higginbotham, 4314 Forrestville avenue, has, after working hard for many years, forced his way to front as the leading and most progressive man in the city. Ninety per cent of all his work has been done for white people and he has constructed many large buildings in various parts of the city, in which space will not permit the publication of his works, unless urged by him in the city, but we cannot omit a few of them which S were built under his instructions and plans. A four-flat structure on South Wabash Avenue; six-flat building on Fortieth Street, near Drexel Boulevard; the Fort Dearborn hospital, 3833-35 Vernon Avenue; the Columbia Laundry building on West Division Street, covering nearly half a block; six flats in Austin, six flats on West Forty-fourth Avenue, and a six-story twenty-four flat building on West Madison Street, rear Loomis Street. He was also awarded the general contract for the erection and construction of the new St. Paul C. M. E. church, 4642-44-46 South Dearborn Street, and when it is completed it is said that structure will be second to none in the city, and certainly one of the finest built churches in the city. Mr. Higginbotham built the St. Monica Catholic church, the First and Second Berean churches, and the Olivet Raptist church, of which he is a member. He is also the treasurer and a member of the board of managers of the Wabash Avenue Y. M. C. A., and the only member of his race who is a member of the Chicago Masqns and Builders' Association.

WHO SPILLED Jealousy Reigns Super Who Proceed to By Miss Hazel Williams As Christ was betrayed by dubas, so have others in this world, and just as long as there is a world with sinners in it, just so long will we find that there are enough scawwalls who continue to run the other race with their little fits of jealousy and create trouble, would not have been thought so much of it, because the people were men and money was at stake. But, folks of my race, let's get over these childish tricks and be men and women, especially when we go forth in the world to collect our own trumpet and proclaiming ourselves the leaders of women in this city. Some few weeks ago the Chicago Defender through its columns told the several women of color had been selected by the National Council of the Women's National Defense Board to show the white public the proper use of corn meal, and thereby help in the war."

THE OPERA Last week art life received shocks of diverse types from which it is but slowly recovering: The passing of a great singer and the birth of a great violinist. Melba, song and purveyor of beautiful music thought, gave her announced last appearance in opera, while Helitzet, prince of the violin and of undreamed-of technique, gave his initial performance in Chicago. Helitzet selected the Tschallowsky concerts as a medium through which he could articulate a fitting one, too, for that concerted variety of intricate passages from which the most erudite turn pale with fbowing. bright, double stopping, harmonies and facility in fingering were marvelous, while his trill, so near to being beyond human endeavor, was positively uncanny. His autobiographical reputation proceeded him and maintained the critical its their glowing praise of his virtuosity. Melba, in "La Boheme," gave evidences of the brilliant career she has held so long, and her singing proved brilliant. But the most unusual on the operational stage. That she is passing is certain, for her high C in the first act fluttered and for short of the number of vibratae she has played, she was true. Through the remainder of the piece, she was exquisite, the old Melba, full of wistful, tender feeling, in portraying the disappointed Mimi. Noteworthy this week are "Manon" in which she plays the role of Arthur Shattuck, solo pianist with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. CARD OF APPRECIATION The Kt and Comfort Club wish to thank the artists who appeared in vaudeville at the Grand theater, Friday. Nov. 22, the public, the manager of the theater, the director for R. R. Jackson, Dave Peyton and the orchestra for so kindly donating their services for the entertainment given to our boys, the Eighth Infantry, Illinois, the Eighth Infantry, Texas, Signed: Mrs. W. A. Buckner, president; Mrs. Lawrence Jones, president; Mrs. Thomas L. Jefferson, president; Mrs. W. H. Marshall, secretary. Majors, were highly complimented on their work. Then in came the devil. She put it into the head of one of the women she worked with. She became dissatisfied and went to another of her Race and the two got their heads together. How dare women without first asking a number of women them? Furthermore, she was knocked out of the commission she would have received for getting them the job. She was a white southern domestic teacher, it is claimed, and the said woman told her that a person of color was able to make those recipes. Then the pot was tipped over and sent to Mr. Hoover by those people. The beans were spilled, but the head of the work here isn't to be handled. This woman sent the beans to be white, sent out for a dozen Defenders to keep on work and show those who inquire what the trouble is, that not so many people, but so are most of the people of color.

TWO SOLDIERS' WIVES BY NETTIE GEORGE SPEEDY Did you ever have a day half sun- shine and half shadow? Sunshine came in the afternoon, unusually animated, and upon inquiring the cause of her hilarity, she replied: "Didn't you know that he had been drafted. Now, there is nothing in the army to keep me alive having a good time. Mr. I know he was a kindly and we are going to the theater, and then to a cabaret, and I won't have to go home until morning." When she left me she was in a more sober frame of mind, and I was just in love with the welcome window who came and wilted. I feel comforted. I have just written him a long letter, and I heard that they were going to be sent to the Philippine Islands. If so, I will store my things and go home. I will help them to be happier to know that I was there. My thoughts were in a turmoil, and out of the chaos I finally rescued one little resolve, and I pledged myself that I would contribute my little bit helping wilt the war by using my influence, and urge them to remember that when a man asks a woman to be his wife he confers the greatest honor upon her that is within his power to bestow, and patrician has no caste over the plebian who signs supreme in the heart of her king. It makes no difference what his lot in life may be, for when a woman misses she does not ask for references, she sheds the clothes she man, and, from the moment of giving, she screens her eyes to his faults, shuts him within the citadel of her own soul, and if the whole world scoffs at her, she behaves a woman to act in such a way that if her husband should win glory upon the battlefield he would proudly take her hand and say: "My wife is guilty of an ignoble deed the world has not had, and he such a worthy woman that I let our men, instead of becoming parasites and wreckers of homes, treat the "girl that is left behind" as he have another man treat his own sister, and he will feel happier for the effort. We must be men and women, let the better side of our natures predominate and remember that "those whom God put together, let no man put asunder." It is true that women use many arts to beguile, and man is not immune to temptation, but if each and every one of us is a soldier, we could send our soldiers away with such a clear conscience that it could not breed deception, and they would be happier, knowing that their soldiers are guarded and protected that I immediate them now, singing lustily: "To hell with the kaiser, our women are behind us."

A big reputation that came down from Scholldor Barracks was shattered, and the Infantry Wrecks is something the drop-curtain game of the day, "Letty" Moore was sadly bumped by the shuggers known as Wrecks and the close of the fourth terribly cold Dringing his unfortunate reign the 25th walloped him for seven hits and scored six runs. Who also came into town with some rep, returned to Lelelua with a saddler but wiser man. During his five cautions on the hill the Wrecks and the second batch of half a dozen runs. Waterhouse to the Good "Chief" Waterhouse twirled a masterful game. He allowed the Ninth grade to play three hits during the nine innings, two of these by Schulde and Dilow in the third frame and one by Fleetwood, who was a pitch better in the sixth and made three hits in the day and prevented his side from being whitewashed, scoring the only hit he made. As a sticker Mr. Fleetwood hung up a record for himself—1,000 per cent. Hogan, given William, did a bit of stick work yesterday. He was five times at bat, got a honer, two triples and a single. Register here 300 per cent. Hogan had yesterday either, for out of four times up he connected safely three Fine Start. But— The game, which began quite nicely, proved a monumental force. "Lefty" Moore has a lot in him, but he was not a great player. Moore should not be blamed for everything. Back of him his team-mates played good ball, but they couldn't play well. Moore fighted and if it was, the foes have hones, individual and collective sakes, that the Ninth Field Artillery will have this stage fight well worn on them next time they play in a Holloman audience. Two innings of the game are probably worth describing. The mantle of the team he dropped over the interim stages. Rogan Walks Homo In the first hitting the Wreckers went to bat and Hawkins walked. Moore kicked out, but Umpire Andy decided otherwise. With Smith at bat, Hawkins missed, but Aylert the keystone and was wise. Smith struck out, Rogan walked, Johnson singed to left and Goliah missed. Smith was given first. This filled the bases. Moore walked, forcing Ruger to run of the game, Ruffon exploded. Run of the game, first. One run and one bit—not so bad. For the Ninth Field, Miller drew out to Crafton. Doddleson was out, Fagin to Hawkins, and "Lefty" Moore died, Waterhouse to Mr. Hawkins. Then came three innings of farce, comedy of the very worst type. All the deadly work was done during this Fleetwood's Record Fleetwood was sent to bat, first man up for Dudleyden in the second half of the game, and then in the game in the management of the Ninth Field was productive of results, for the side came through with its third and fourth of the day and the only run on their part. Mr. Fleetwood connected for a single between second and first. Venema Robeson Is Hero of Rutgers; Newport Reserves Defeated Eibbets Field, Brooklyn, N. Y. Nov. 30—Robison, the youth gift of color, Rutgers college, shared honors with him last Saturday in their spectacular win over "Cupid" Black's all stars, represent Rutgers field, reserve naval reserves, at Eibbets Field, Rutgers scored two touchdowns, both in the second period, one of which was made by Robison. Seldom has so well been seen in the game itself been seen on the gridiron this season. Robison proved himself to be a creature and usually had the better defense. Robison might have been Notre Dame college, and clinched his right to a place on any all eastern team might be named. He was a stalk on the defense. The most complete play of the game was a forward pass from Rubellite to Robison, which he handled with ease in a touchdown. Time was called to period to allow Robison to have his shoulder rubbed down, being slightly bruised last season, though sun people witnessed the contest. Robeson is well known in basketball that he plays in city, having played the center part of the red and black machine of the St Christopher A. C., and was known as a co-player in opposing teams. Poster Stanford of Rutgers faculty made a statement that Robeson's better all around player than the greatest man who created a sensation last season. CHICAGO ELEVEN TO INVADE ST. LOUIS A football team made up of some of last and this year's high school stars will play in the league's eighth, where a game will be played with a team there, representing the two teams of the game going to that institution.

It is hoped that this game will open a wedge and that it will bring about a friendly relation between the two teams. Frank Young will open negotiations with Summer for a basketball game to be played at a better city. Both games will be strictly for the all proceeds will go to the "Y." BIG GAME COMING There is one big game of basketball that will be the center of attraction. That one game will have sway over. That one game will be dared to be pulled off on Christmas. The incoherent of New York are headed for Chicago and they are going to be the best team that the cast can produce. Albert Johnson, dentist and Howard university star of days gone by when the team was a team, is leading his Tigers into one of the strongest games ever attempted played in the west and more determined his men shall bind Chicago's easiest bit of basketball ever seen here. was safe at the initial on an error by again. Likits made first on doctor's orders, then been hit to deep right and was out, but Fleetwood fleetfoot it home, there just in vain. Time to time to be cured and was out.

W. Va. Collegiate Institute Wins From Virginia T. S. FINAL SCORE. 27 TO 0 (By Roy L. Stephens) Institute, W. Val., Nov. 30.—In the game played on Lakht field this season, the West Virginia Theological Seminary and versatile football bads ran wild last Friday afternoon, Nov. 23, and hosted the Theological Seminary to the necropsy. This was the first time that a football contest between West Virginia and Theological Seminary took place, the 1,500 fans there looked so stunned and the 1,500 fans put up a desperate, sadden, losing fight. There was nothing but excitement. The 1,500 fans for Gardner and St. Mary's developed, out of new material, a team which bids fair to go through the 1917 season. The lines were evenly matched, yet the West Virginia forwards got the jump on the opposing defense, and swept the game. The bads like snow before a spring freshest. Institute scored in the first quarter, Few recovering a fumble and planting a field goal, Holland kicked goal. In the second quarter the Virginians made their only serious threat for a score. They recovered a fumble and raced to within a few yards of Institute's goal. However, the Virginians backed the punch in the hitter and hardly scored again in the second quarter. Hamlin went over the top in the first half. Smoky Hardy in the last and the curtain fell on Institute holding the long end of a 27 to 0 score. Institute 9: Institute 27. Hurt, sub.

VIRGINIA SPEEDBALL HAYDEN OF 24TH INFANTRY HANDS MIDDLE- WEIGHT TERRIBLE LACING Columbus, N.M. Nov. 30—Henry Davis, the fight promoter, pulled off one of the biggest if not the biggest boxing matches ever seen in the southwest. Last Thursday, when the speedwheel fighting for the championship of the United States Army, put a blow over on Rufus Williams, holder of the championship, with the match, and sent the latter to the mat, defeated, and with the blow went the championship, and with the blow went the championship was unable to answer the bell in the first round. In Williams' corner were Guy Buckles, the middleweight champion on the jon count of and cove andponent Hayden in Hayden were Joe (Brock) Blackburn, ex-middleweight champion, Danny Duncan, Battling Griffin champion of the 12th Cavalry. The referee was Dick Monahan of El Paso, Texas. A grand brawl was given after thought territory on top of him his thought territory on more than one thousand people. After the bout the winner announced his willingness to meet any man in the world at 145 pounds and a side dragged While the championship crown changed hands, Williams was lying under the rope a second or two after the champion's decision and knowledge of the champion's made, the champion was made. It was one of the most sentimental climaxes ever witnessed, and amid thunderous applause, which included the crowd, whom it came from, was a popular one. It must be said, however, that as the crowd grew larger, the masters. He lost none through defeat. The crowd was non-partisan during the progress of the match, cheering for the winner, and the crowd. It was a bitter battle—about as bitter a battle as ever seen during the life of the sport in the western country. To the admirers of fisticdom, there was everything—excepting, perhaps, a sparkle of anything appropriate to the sport, away at each other and the one Acquitted of Killing Waiter Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 28-30-Dun Shay (white), formerly manager of the Milwaukee American Association baseball team, who was charged with the murder of the Hotel English café on the night of May 3 last, was found not guilty by a jury in the Marion County Criminal Court, returned after a short deliberation, and following the announcement Judge James A. Collins ordered Shay discharge. It is another case of justice and a black face being choked to death by bloody dollars subscribed from every source to promote the destiny cause of race prejudice in all its hellish practices. Shay asserted that he fired in self-defense after having been struck by a police pica. He also said to such an extent that race prejudice was alleged to have been offered to build a defense pica. By the best legal talent that organized baseball could obtain. It has long been known that this organization has been against person of color. Indianapolis citizen John McCarthy, the jury was purged with colorophila, therefore a verdict in favor of a dark face was impossible. Another case of justice was involved, or Lynch law at the north legalized. Kid Tremble Gets Peeved Kid Tremble, self-styled lightweight champion of Australia for the past twenty years (and that is going some) and the first girl to play day with one of his far-sighted get-together-quick schemes wherein he was having elimination bouts held all over the country to produce a new Joe Gans of olden days. The Kid, who would make a few more dimes posing as a professional footballer, was wrought up when Mr. Paul told him to go out and win some laurels against some first class fighters, as Lee Johnston, and then back to Ford, and then come back and blow. Whew: the Kid left the office in a huff, Simms Is Willing to Play Haney for Title and Bet J. W. Simms, better known to the billiard world as "Bam," answers the challenge hurried at him through these championship challenges, all of which champion, till Simms took his measure. Now Sims, as champion, says he will give Haney a chance at the title, but as he went to New York last year it is clear that he will not be the one and comes to Chicago. In other words, Simms will play Haney for a side bet of $500 plus the "winner take all." Haney means let him send a forfeit to the Chicago Defender or else close up. EAST TECH HOLDS TITLE Cleveland, O. Nov. 30.—East Tech with Ralph Blue at end and full, won the senate championship for the third consecutive year by swapping Lincoln for the second, with a score of 20 to 0.

Crown Changes Hands Shay, White Ball Player FARREN REGULARS Royal Athletic Club CHECKERS SATURDAY, DEC that landed the greater number and the stronger blows won. It was aitting test of brute strength, and the younger and more verile of the old, but he had him helped his senior rival with him he had him helped his senior rival less. Then the curtain descended upon the hopes of the conquered. Williams Scores Four Knockdowns In changing charge it looked curtains for Hayden after sparing cautiously for a few moments, landed a right hook across Hayden and after sparing cautiously for a few moments, landed a right hook across Hayden to the temple. Hayden acted as though blind, and, when Williams countered, landed a right hook on the count of nine, Hayden rose to the count of nine, Hayden rose to the count of nine, Hayden came up covered thoroughly. Williams strove for a knockout, hittied Hayden in the stomach, starting his blow, and thought this punch landed in ilegal territory, but, the reference being right, Hayden in the stomach, starting his blow, and thought this punch landed in ilegal territory, but, the reference being right, Hayden in the stomach, starting his blow, and thought this blow was a fair one. The going sounded as Hayden was corner by his seconds. Williams round. Round Two—Hayden shot out of his corner like coming from a catapult, and like coming from a wild cat. There was less than seconds' pause during this round. Science was thrown to the winds and Hayden showed a crossfire to two Hayden that was a marvel in speed and accuracy. He handed twice and strong. Rufus followed by repeatedly jabbing Hayden Round Three—The second intermission aided both men. And the commencing of this round found both agitating the old ring master that he is—tried the category for a knockout but Hayden continually warded off stiff uppercuts to the jaw. The bounce caught the fighters. Round Four—A repetition of the previous period with both men shining in the art of defense in the early part of the game, and a furious fall. The bell again caught the pair in a clench. Even round. Round Five—Hayden did all the handling of a stiff uppercut. Williams on the defensive throughout. Hayden's round. to Press Hostilities Round Six—The minute thoroughly refreshed, after the minute started with a clash to the mouth, a cross with a left to the eye and used its hands to kill Hayden's arms. Williams clenched repeatedly to avoid punishment and the round ended with Hayden on top of Round Seven. With every ounce of his strength, Williams drove his right into Hayden's stomach and, suddenly, he wobbled for an instant—and then, dropped. He proved game and was up at the count of eight, only to re-enter the round. This blow sent him staggering to the airdroin for the count of six. Hayden came up staggering as the gong Round Eight—The eight found Williams tired and he clenched repeatedly, taking severe punishment while Hayden leased on life and activity. A second fighting more bitterly than ever during this period. Hayden's round. Hayden's. He landed repeatedly and almost at will to mouth and head. Boult Jelenen—This proved the most challenging war was terrific—tried despite the a K. A. Hayden then tore in and started to wallow Williams around the wall and half of the wall around and he half of it and half sped. He stumbled across the ring with Hayden at his heels. As Hayden caught up with kuffs, he landed a stiff blow on the moment later, landed flush to Williams jaw. Then, in a twinkling, he sent a blow to Williams' body. The Blow That Hastened the End Tottering for just an instant, Williams landed quickly, the crowd yelled for Hayden Williams. The old master grinned and went on to take a severe beating. The blow that Hayden landed, was a stiff blow to the smear of the smear to the arm. This latter blow unmade the old champion. The gong sounded with Williams tottering to hisselves, the spectators relied themselves hear the clamor—and smiled. He turned around instinctively, as though he wished to see what it was all about. Rufus was out and he seemed to know it—but the smile still remained. The gong sounded for the twelfth round and Williams, game to the core, tried to rise, but tottered weakly. Hayden came to the center of the ring. Guy Buckles stepped over the ropes, acknowledging defeat for his principal and Referee Dick Monohn shoved Hayden's right arm skyward as token of victory—and a new champion was made. Donaldson, Williams, Marlarcher and Mendez Jake Los Angeles White, White Los Angeles, Cal.

When it comes to a question of morals the color of one's skin plays a very insignificant part.

Are they weak and mentally incapable of protecting themselves? Or does that particular species never become of age, but remain wards of the opposite sex throughout life? In the Second ward in Chicago there are many cabarets run, if anything, on a little higher order than those in other sections of the city. Owners of these places have but one object in view—the making of money—and as the white, the black, and the other colors all tender as payment for services rendered the same kind of coin of the realm, the welcome sign includes everybody.

What the law is on the matter counts for little at the time—it is simply a case of might making right. Of course the courts in northern cities do not uphold such acts, but who wants to be constantly running to court? We offer our apology in advance for bringing up the following lead, as we can see it might be embarrassing and difficult to answer satisfactorily: If co-mingling is so detrimental, why permit white men of ages ranging from the cradle to the grave to visit these places as often as they like and stay as long as they like? Why single out white women, and prohibit them from doing likewise? Do they fear that these angels will be contact find in us more culture, refinement and manhood than they find in their white companions, and fall—so to speak—for our winning ways? This is only one of those questions that need no answer. Our women who visit cabarets—and they are typical of all such women—are perfectly able to care for themselves. A white face means no more than a brown face to them—it is what is back of it that counts. If our white brother cannot hold by his own personal charms his white sister, wee be unto that poor sister, for we have plenty within our own to choose from. LEARNING ECONOMY AMERICANS are the most extravagant earth. Nothing that money will buy is visitors to other countries we are the There isn't anything particularly wrong wherewith is forthcoming, provided there are no want and suffering to be relieved would entirely eradicate extravagance. To avoid the lessons to be learned from we never know just what we can or can day subject was mentioned. Now that and each new day calls for a curtailment are just scratching the veneer of the power that is not resourceful, Belgium was a swoop, England, France and our lives of one sort or another.

Such methods only it hard for the small purchaser. There then our country will be in need of a few百万，but we can only get in every needless exp simple life. The lesson of economy is being learned by experience, the best of It is the most extravagant set of people on it that money will buy is too dear or too far for a country who are the birds of prey all foreign, thing particularly wrong with satisfying one's own interests. There is no willful waste and I do not believe that I could be—two provisions that, if I had to be an extravagant extravagance, I would have to be learned from the war is how to make the most out of the things at hand. If we are to be led into the world, we are to be mentioned. Now that it is do. We smiled when lay calls for a carnival and a readjustment at the veneer of the poverty enphased war opens up peaceful. Beghum was wiped off the face of the world, France and our other allies are suffering and so another. The rank and ife of German, the old and the new are the same. Of the big nations to get into the fray we can all have had Government control of foods a very distinctly more out of national and effective way. We are not a very fastidious man, but a very and the quiet firmness of the men at the he cement of the food. Instead of that, the action of capacity, though in many lines the level of the equitable price of commodities will be at the problem changes and will continue to change transportation, of invention, and the organization of any particular method of regulating price is not the same. The price of food is so far out of the way that our food supply too carefully. This does not limit the foodstuffs, like buying ten sacks of pardons. Such methods only serve to force prices slew. We are not a very good food供给者. We are not a very good food供给者. If we, as individuals, do not have a thing as easy as we have in classic a condition as is Russia, you will be in a choice of a condition as is Russia. APPENINGS AT CAMP LOGA PENINGS AT CAMP LOGA AMERICANS are the most extravagant set of people on the face of the earth. Nothing that money will buy is too dear or too far from reach. As whispers other countries we are the birds of prey all foreigners shoot at. There how many participating particularly strong with satisfying one's wish if the wherewith is forbidden there is no wasteful waste and provided there are no want and suffering to be relieved—two provisions that, if compiled with, would entirely eradicate extravagance. One of the lessons to be learned from the war is how to economize, how to reduce the most out of the things at hand. If we never try to we never know just what we need. The most important day subject was mentioned. Now that it is a reality it is accepted the most day subject calls for a containment and a readjustment of things. We are just scratching the surface and we open up to a nation that is not resourceful. Belgium was wiped off the face of the sword, England, France and our other allies are suffering for want of food, heart or another. The rank and die of Germans must be in table condition. As the last of the big nations to get into the war we can profit by the sentence the others have had. Government control of foods and other substances and effective way. Its operations can be seen very distinctly here and there. It has not been for these laws and the quiet firmness of the men at the head in punishment to their enforcement, there would be by now such a condition of profitering to the people to great wrath. Instead of that there has been no widespread indication of capacity, though in many lines the level of prices has been too high. The program of the equitable price of commodities will be always with us. The matter of the problem with the development of transportation, of invention, and the organization. The ultimate test of any particular method of regulating prices must be the failure of the problem. It is patent to all we cannot husband our food supply too carefully, but ing up great quantities of foodstuffs like buying ten tacks of potatoes where one is needed. Such methods only serve to force prices skewward and make it difficult for consumers to conserve too far, and if we, as individuals, do not act sane and rationally, our country will be in an chronic a condition as is Russia. A good plan to our country will be in an chronic a condition as is Russia. A good plan to cut out every need, expense and lend as nearly as possible the simple life we need, one for Americans, but is learned by experience, the best of all teachers.

CHICAGO DEC. 1, 1917 have their retribution and punishment, hope and trust you will not be a victim of punishment, and for that reason we offer you herewith a little homey, the enjoyment of our Thanksgiving festivities. Our Advice and Suggestions As we have enjoyed over forty Thanksgiving dinners and have seen the consequence of the violation of the law intentionally and unintentionally—the consequences have been the same—we have been to offer the following suggestions: Use moderation—the moderate. Second: be highly masticating every morsel of your food. Third. Surround yourself with very pleasant company—talk between each course—enjoy a hearty laugh now and then; and, if possible, surround yourself with cheerful, enchanting music. If you can afford an orchestra, well and good. If not, keep the piano going with soft sweet music; if not a piano, then the vocation—recolon—will add much to the joy and comfort and thus prevent you from possibly overloading your stomach and suffering the consequences which often follow from the abuse of this organ. Fourth. Do not eat your meal in a closed, tight, warm room, filled with four air. Have your dining-room, living room, parlor, sitting room, etc. thoroughly ventilated; keep it at a temperature of 62 to 70 degrees at the most, with a current of fresh air circulating at all times. Oh, do not be afraid of "catching cold!" Get away from the "coldphobia!" We get largely our life-giving quantities—breath—with fresh air. If your system is in good condition, fresh air will increase your powers of energy and efficiency. If your system is in a run-down condition—below par-overheated rooms, with temperature above 70 degrees F, it will increase your debility and illness; and on the contrary, if you allow the fresh air to circulate through your rooms, your debility will rapidly disappear, you will sleep better, feel more refreshed, you will breathe better and thus avoid headaches, "colds" and your general system will become greatly energized. Fifth. We further advise that your scrupulously avoid all alcoholics with your Thanksgiving dinner, such as beer, whiskey in the form of old-fashioned toddles, cocktails or whut not. Even champagne will do you no good, but on the contrary will delay the digestion of your Thanksgiving dinner and cause you to have that "splitting headache," that deranged stomach and possibly may be the direct exciting cause of a serious spell of illness. And again, we advise that you drink plenty of water during your meals and after your meals every day. This will in a way aid digestion, promote the kidneys in their elimination of waste material, and prevent and assist in overcoming constipation, relieve the liver much in its work of digesting rich meats, etc. The consumption of plenty of liquids such as milk, water, grape juice, etc., is an important factor in the prevention of constipation, piles or the over-compelling of the bed effect of piles. After Dinner After dinner, do not lie down on a longue or go to bed. Do not sit around in a poorly ventilated room or apartment; but when dinner is over, get out into the fresh air, however cold it may be, and take a vigorous walk, not too fast nor too long-stop just this side of the point of fatigue. If you lie down in a heated room, one possibly killed with foul air, you are likely to contract cold, in gelippe, entouraged fever, often the Cypan of the Man of Death—pneumonia—has followed closely in the wake of a heavy Thanksgiving dinner, when the individual has been too indolent or thoughtlessly confined himself in a close, overheated room. Avoid coming in close contact or remaining in contact for any considerable time, with any person or person who has or have colds and are not careful about sneezing, coughing or spitting in your presence or in your vicinity. If you should have to cough or sneeze, remember to avoid cruelly to animals, and thus place a paper knapkin or a clean handkerchief over your mouth or nose so as to prevent the germs being dissipated or scattered through the room or hall wherever you may be at the time, and thereby infect your neighbor or guest. Are colds catching? Oh, yes. You are catching—but colds or "good colds" are catching. Finally Avoid being in a close, overheated room, dance halls, theaters, church or any other place where you are alone, son, if there is one person in the room, dance hall, theater, church or place of assemblage when the a-ble will be infected from that individual, and by lowering the whirlpool of influenza, la grima, cataratal fever or finally death. You can avoid these probable directions if you while enjoying your Thanksgiving. You can observe the laws of hygiene. We congratulate you and bespeak for you Thanksgiving and same Thanksgiving day and dinner. NERRASKA *Omaha.* Neb.
