FINAL EDITION Chicago Defender WORLD'S GREATEST WEEKLY LATEST NEWS EXTRA If You See It in The Defender It's So 'CHICAGO EIGHTH' TO BEAT 33D DIVISION TO FRANCE 'BABY JIM,' THE CIRCUS MAN, DIES Lake Shore Tom Smith Is Dead Inspector for Many Years; He Was "Terror" of All the Cooks and Waiters Tom Smith. (white) is dead. He lived "somewhere" on the west side and was known to all waiters and cooks who ever worked for the New York Central line. Tom, as he was familiarly called, died Dec. 31 at 1:30 a.m. m. He will, of course, be mourned by his friends and relatives, but not by the waiters and cooks. --- Tom started years ago as a news butcher on the Milwaukee & St. Paul station, and then on that system, going to the Lake Shore in that capacity. At that time he was a reporter, and later made inspector, the job which he held when he died. The number of waiters he laid off and their inquiries along with the cause he displayed on his wall, waited for. Smith was a relentless driver. He used no sympathy and ran his end of the business like a slave driver. Ten years later he set up one for setting a dish down the way he thought it should not be, and for various other little petty infractions of his he was more of a hindrance to good service than a betterment. He could catch trains at outlying points and oignon holes for just, taking handlerchief out of his pocket and finding dust, would cause the man who was supposed to keep it clean (which, he did not), to have several days' pay, and perhaps his run. Smith was the most hated man in the service and during recent years his power was curbed, especially when the best man had been "fired" or had quit. Smith's power ruled from New York to Chicago at first, but his hirendance led from east of Buffalo some years back by order of one of the heads of the system. Anybody that was white from a continent, a monosly foreign fourth cook, was given the benefit of a doubt over a member of the Race. Smith was Irish and he believed in giving the whim to the best of the deal, right or wrong. There is 'many a deserving waiter that will go back to the New York County to work now that the scar is gone there will be no fear that as soon 'as I get to work old Tom will have me taken off.' Someone—to the delight of many times gotten new men "up a tree," which is a familiar term for getting excited or losing one's mental powers the train was rapidly moving, one of the waiters became so excited while serving Smith during a rush that he reached up and pulled the bell cord, thus causing the train to come to a stop. Again, one time a well known waiter on the Century felt a beam bumping and set the emergency break, thus saving a possible wreck. Tom was not on, but when the crew returned to Chicago he made his way to the yards and set the emergency break, thus saving a possible wreck. Tom was not on, but when the crew returned to Chicago he made his way to the yards and set the emergency break, thus saving a possible wreck. Two hours later the division superintendent met the train at the depot, commended the man and told him that it was the means of saving the lives of lives and a possible big wreck. A few days later each conductor was given instructions to see that every worker from east of Buffalo knew the workings of the brakes. It was one of Smith's many shortcomings.

Cooper, an elderly white carpenter, at Camp Camp, 5th Street National training northeast, on the morning of Oct. 12, will be confined at hard labor for three years in the United States pentimentary at Atlanta. The military court-martial tried the soldier based its sentence on the theory that he was guilty of involuntary manslaughter, the penalty for which offense in time of peace is the death of a whole army of war at three years' imprisonment. Brig. Gen. I. D. Hoyle, commanding the eastern department, the reviewing authority, however, held that the sen- tence was wholly inadequate for the offense because it was voluntary or involu- tary manslaughter, and approved it in order that the accused should not "escapе well deserved punishment." Trihl Held Here The trial was held at Washington barracks. The court was composed almost entirely of officers of the Engineer Corps. Captain William H. Holt, the first of the two officers of the court, was president of the court and Second L早就, George F. Young, the assistant judge, advocate. Second L.Eut. Ernest C. Dedicks was counsel for the accused. The evidence on which Ward was tried was "criminal of the 18th article of war," and the specification was that at the time and place indicated above he, did "willfully, feloniously and unlawfully kill the Andrew J. Cooper by shooting him in the body with a serviceable hand." He accused pleaded "Not guilty" to the charge. Several days were occupied in taking testimony and hearing the arguments of the Judge's advocate and the counsel for the trial. The trial was conducted in a "Clayt-Clayt, C. C. H.

The trial was conducted, before resulting than at the main entrance, before the results of the trial. The cooper tried to enter the grounds near the office and was shoved down an embankment by Private Ward and told to go through the main entrance, but the cellar to climb back again and started and, when he was shot by the senting.

The accused testified that after he had shoved Cooper down the embankment I will get up, I can back all right. I'll get up, I can back all right. behind him said "as if to draw a weapon, and I wheeled around and shot him." The court found Ward "gulty" of the charge and of the specification "gulty excepting the words 'feloniously and', and substituting therefor the words in the execution of his duty, and did by his actions of the excepted words not guilty and of the substituted words 'gulty.'" The sentence, imposed was that the accused "be dishonorably discharged and forfeit all pay and allowances due or the amount in confinement under this sentence, and to be confined at hard labor at such place as the reviewing authority may defer for three years." Gen Hoyle in his review of the case said: "The court, having been directed to reconvene because its sentence was regarded as inadequate and the offense unintentional manslaughter, it met informally and returned the charges by indorsement, in which it in effect requested, in which it was as to why its findings and sentence was indicted and stated that the record had not been received. "The president of the court should have telegraphed or written for the record in due form. On further reference the attention of the court was called to the fact that whether the manslaughter or involuntary sentence was regarded as inadequate. "The court adhered to its original findings and sentence for the reason it chose, and could change its opinion that the offense was involuntary manslaughter and could not be held for time conditions at the scene of the crime, it could see no reason at present to make the punishment greater than the penalty it equate with the President in time of peace. "The reviewing authority is unable to agree with the court in its view of this case. There was no necessity for the judge to measure he took in enforcing his orders and the sentence is regarded as wholly inadequate; but in order that the accused may not escape, well-designed apprehension and will be duly executed, the United States penitentiary at Atlanta, Ga., is designated as the place of confinement, but pending further orders this general prisoner be held at Washington prison, D.C.

Star at Grand Theater Good Bills at the Avenue and Monogram Theaters "One minute of keeping your mouth shut is worth an hour of explanations." The Avenue Horace George, the great charionetist, was featured here the last half of the past week, and his work proved a fine novelty. The playing of two or three of the reeds at a time is a set-up for Horace and he has other tricks with the instrument, which are part of the primary. Other acts on the bill included Mason & Fairfax, a good singing, talking and dancing act, and Douglass, a fine looking lady opposite a Yiddish Nut, and their stuff went over in fine style; Kingway and the monkey in a well acted domestic sketch; Charles & Madeline Dunbar, clever limitators, and a good dog, monkey and nanny offer. PETER H. Happy Harrison, a good dog, monkey and pony offering, had an arrest half of the present week had an arrest bill bill the classical dancing act bill as Zermaine & Zermaine. They were followed by Rector, Weber & Talbert, a trio of good male singers, who sang topical songs; Morgan & Gray, in a band next to him, went next well. It remained to Dana Wong to hold up the show, as he was forced to make it a real encore, in which the great Scotchman gave a great impersonation of the illustrious Teddy. Dana stories, songs and dances were wondrous. The bill closed with the Blimbs, a European arubatic novelty of class. The Grand The Musical Byron opened to packer bouses on Monday, and will remain the full week. This is easily the best musical ever seen at the offerings from the three offerings include everything from the guitar solo to the hilarious syncopation of the Livery Stable Blues, and in this last connection, he it said right here that the Byronies stopped own show with this great jazz special. On the quintet, they ran the gamut of everything of class and popularity, and in the interim presented special features which included a wonderful display of ability on the harp by one of the live time by the best dancer of her kind in the business, Syreno Navarro. The act is dressed to a 'fare-the-well and batted 1000 from start to finish. Other acts on the bill were Two Herrys & Grace Harvey, a good team of singers and dancers; Martin Oatman & Co. in a great sketch with a real story well presented, and. The Packard Three, girls, a fast working guitar, a piano and a world of ability to please. Griffin Sisters & Co. remained very popular the last half of the past week. Hawley & Hawley, jugglers extraordinaire, have been the most popular by the Metro trio of singers and musicians. Hale & Hule, in clever character songs and dances, did well, and the bill was finished by Downs' Circus, introducing a couple of wise elephants, a dog and a cat, or who presented their fine novelty in a more than pleasing manner. The Monogram A fine bill opened here for the week on Monday night. There are three teams and a single, all of them bristling with class. Billy & Sadie McCormick appeared for the first time in many major and minor leagues, clever work. The act is as popular as old, and, if anything, it can be safely said is a little better than their former offerings, which is saying a whole thing is a good pool making their initial showdown the Stroll and are repeating the success which they have had at all stands they have made since forming as a team. The act has a military theme and is well put over the dialogue being snapped up by the audience. Jackson & Gant, one of the clearest pair ever seen here, have a clean-cut offering which had the house with them from the start. They are billed as a band of topical songs which are fine. Jackson is a good comedian, and his song, "Baby Rose," went well. Miss Gant has a military costume which she wears when she sits them up with the band. Single Emmet Anthony, a clever and fast working monologist, has a fine line of chatter, some good songs and dancing which made him an instant favorite, and the got him in a manner that made him a one side and down the other, the bill is as good a one as has been seen here in a long time. The Bruce & Bruce Jazz Players, one of the best companies that ever went over the Consolidated time, are playing the first of a two weeks' stand at the Booker Washington theater; St. Louis, Mo. TheMadLover TheMadLover Robert Warwick, filldom's best romantic actor, handsome and debonnair, a man's man, and by the same token a man's man, and by the same token a man's man, and by the same token a man's man, which comes to the States theater on Sufday and Monday, Jan. 8 and 7, beginning each day at 2. Warwick is play of a modern Otello man. Warwick's most striking role, a part that presents possibilities well worthy of his art and which he himself accredits as his master production. In it we see a man who is selfish and selfish with his dogs and gun, and into whose heart there has never crept the love of a woman. Then fate, guided by the hand of Cupid, brings to his heart a man who learns to love and finally weds. But soon the golden days of married life turn into monotony and the man, forgetful that a woman's heart cries again to the things that interest him more and, like a rare jewel that he loved and treasured, yes cared to caress only at his pleasure, he left her and her own diversions and pleasures. Then, as the months sped by and the chasm between man and wife deepened to dangerous depths, came the days of suspicion for husband and nights that the woman had been the woman. Hero, amid gorgeous scenes the husband in a mad frenzy attempts to take her life—only to awaken to the realization that love is a powerful abysse that once separated their lives. From comedy to tragedy, from dramatic suspense to ardent romance, the play shifts in scenes that delight the eye, stir the imagination and fill the heart. The realization that the woman had Warwick no other success to his credit The Mad Lover would establish him as the green's most popular romantic figure, but coupled with recognized popularity, he became a great feature of the year. It was organized as one of the greatest attractions of the year. Don't fail to see it.

I was just a small as if I had lost my own brother as a telegram was sent to me on Saturday and I received it the following Thursday: If I had received it in time I surely I am a one-time and I'm one last look in one old stand and I'm last and in the course of the conversation my name was mentioned, and he was telling me of when you and he was in the house.

He was an engagement was a Sheffield just two years ago. He was a good man. When I go back to London next March I am going to have a headstone placed on his grave.

It is truly a wonder tale and comes here direct from a great run in New York, where it created a sensation at the Globe theater. It is a Fox feature, which alone is some recommendation; it is heroic in size, wonderful in conception, peerless and magnificent; a hundred times bigger and any circus—an epoch making achievement—has charms and fascinates all ages. There is a giant in this picture who is credited with being the largest man in the world, although built in perfect proportion. He feels high, weighs 460 pounds, 30 size collar and his nightie is a tent. When he was transported across the continent he required a big special car built especially for his comfort, with thousands unusual features and all who need them delighted.

There are four separate stories to describe the marvels of Intolerance, either as a talo or a production. There are four separate stories running through it which are brought to a flap in love and tolerance from the early periods to the modern story which springs into being in the confines of the underworld. There has never been such a stupendous production connected with cost ten times as much as money as any picture that you ever saw. Manager Dooley booked this wonder-picture with the fact in mind that he never run contests from 2 p.m. to midnight patrons of his popular theater the best of all attractions procurable, regardless of cost.

TURPIN LAMBASTS DOCTOR CRIDIC St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 4.—Charley Turpin, the popular proprietor of the Booker T. Washington theater, is a peaceful sort of fellow, but when he feels he is unjustly assaulted he very promptly dons his fighting togs and gets busy. There has never been any criticism of Mr. Turpin's loyalty or question as to his ability as a theatrical manager. However, he was unceremoniously hauled on the carpet one day last week by a Dr. Barrington Weaver, in an article in the Post Dispatch, because of certain remarks made by one of the performers at his theater, and handled rather roughly; still the lacing Mr. Turpin handed Dr. Weaver, when he got his ire aroused, is the comment of the city and will serve to warn all others that Mr. Turpin is not only able to take care of himself, but usually has the support of the public in all he does.

It is contended by our foes that we are incapable of self-government and that when in control we degenerate in intellect, morals and society. In this situation the Race is called upon to cast a vote upon the Alderman. Every vote cast is a vote upon the future status of the Race. We cannot be too careful of our good report. Race Opportunity in Campaign Opportunity in Campaign The Race has a great opportunity in this Campaign, high grade selection that the white Race has nothing to fear from the Race in control in this Ward and thus make it a tribute toward the Race after the war; to show that the disfranchisement and political injustice so cruelly fastened upon the Race in the south is unjustified; to exercise of the franchise in Chicago; to show that we can and will, when in control, use our political power and suffrage in the highest interest and of the highest quality; to vindicate the Race and redeem the ward from the low repute and from the vile grip of those who vice of men and the vile of women; to vindicate the Justice judgment and adopt a high standards in our political affairs and thus facilitate the opening of new power for our Race in the great injustice and social changes of the times. The Danger in the Situation The candidacy of Oscar DePrist is a danger and menace to the Race and to the political good name and reputation of the country. For years he was the recognized political Race boss in the Ward Republican Organization and used his influence on every occasion where he was not a candidate to retard the political process. In his policies, he was ambitious, intolerant and despotic in his methods. He was always opposed to intelligent and wise leadership and rushed in with brazen gall and blind and conceited force to attack the enemies at the expense of his Race. For the enemies instead of friends. His rough and rude manners were as offensive as they were injurious and repelling. Under him the Race sank lower and lower in the good will and esteem of the whites in Chicago and the country. DePriest and the First Alderman DePriest used his influence as Race boss to prevent the Race from having more than 60 per cent of the Republican vote of the Ward, saying: "The time is not ripe for the Race to have repaired the situation when the Race forced this recognition over his opposition he used his brazen enfrentery and overwintering gall and reckless daring to secure the indorsement of the fruits of what the real Race leaders, now mostly in the organization, had won for the Race through years of effort, and the first Race Alderman of the Second War DePriest Under Indictment While the Race honored him with the political honors due others he had received, he acted to fill the office without bringing disgrace upon himself, his Ward and his Race. And while under something like five indictments for graft he overmastering hardhood and unblushing conscience, mistaken for courage by his supporters, to seek the people's HAYES SURE BITE TEETH PER SET $3 UP Live Tooth Appearance.

It is the third such a spectacle in the history of the United States that thrusts a cruel dagger at the. very heart and integrity of popular institutions. His success will imperil the liberty of his Race and completely all possible standing of our Ward. DePriest's Record as Alderman These record as Alderman. While Alderman, DePriest achieved nothing but recognition, Racoon-Ward and there is no indication that in good faith he ever sought to render any important service for his Race. He made a false and noisy move in the case and then indulged. What he did it impossible to be able to succeed and by his offensive ostentation and primitive, rough and repelling manners and blind, unreasoning force, he arrayed and reckoned with his opponents. White press and active public opinion of Chicago against Dr. Giles and against the Race. His record in the City Council was that of a conceived bully and reckless man, who was the force of brazen and brute blindness to achieve publicity in matters in which he could render no possible service and in which he could only arouse bitter enmity and hostility to his Race in new involves. DePriest's Broken Pledges In his re-election canvass and platform DoPriest promised to urge the appointment of a Race member of the school board and to secure the appointment of some Race women on the board. He abandoned both and during his two years as Alderman he did nothing to achieve either. In his platform he advocated the message of an ordinance directing the message to revoke the license of any public place of amusement or entertainment which discriminated against the Race unintended this pledge until the time for his end campaign for re-election. He then had an ordinance prepared and a hearing before the Judicialty Committee and good impression was apparently made for or against dresses of a number of prominent Race men and women of the Ward, while he said nothing. He was continued for further hearing. The Corporation Council for the Committee gave an opinion of the legality of the ordinance as framed. As far as the record shows, he issued the ordinance and nothing further was done to secure its passage. How DePriest Devoted Energy How DePriest Devoted Energy DePriest is all gall and blind energy, without either tact or manners, and with only apparent thought and brains, without any moral or spiritual devotion, not to the advancement of any Race interests, but to the satisfaction of his personal and selfish financial ends and profits. No wonder he says he has plenty money for his Campaign. His indictment and disgrace grow out of his intimate contact and relational ties with the mastery of his time. His influence and time were connected in some way not yet fully disclosed with the growth and development of the syndicated expansion of commercialized vice, which flourished and attained its greatest heights and itself with spectacular Alderman relief. He was too busy looking after his personal financial interests and his future political fortunes to do any more. He now claims to love so much. When he had power he did nothing for his Race. Now that he is shorn of his strength and discredited, he seeks by his people the power to help the people believe that he has serious intentions to do great services for the Race he opposed so long and so shamefully neglected) while in office.

THE OPERA By Lena James Holt "Aida," usual first night opera, but demoted to second place by Maestro Campanina, who, although an addictant and extremist, essayts the inordinate and extraordinarily beau" instead, was given its fourth hearing Sunday afternoon, Dec. 30. The libretto is a modern version of an old Egyptian tradition, and the second production from the kjeldive and first produced at Cairo Dec. 27, 1871, nearly forty-six years ago to the day. The story is woven about an Ethiopian princess of slavery, with whom Radamene was to love. He spurs the attention of Amneris, princess of Egypt, and is finally doomed to a lingering death in a caust below the altar of the high priest, who bid farewell to life and die together. Rosa Raiga, whose wonderful voice has been lauded by the writer, concludes various reviewers by again appearing as Aida with "darkened skin and kinky hair," to quote on writer. The Russian fancies were taunted with practice, but the author, when they attempted a literal interpretation of one of their African numbers, and forthwith brightened up a picture, which she through four performances has remained the same dark-haired Ethiopian princess, determined to present the opera as it should be, despite the attempt of therench, knee-wrecked music directors. The beautiful brown pigmentation she gives her skin could not offend the most esthetic, while if there was cause of temperament, disturbance, the duncehead could be punished, they were so sooted one imagined them belched from a smoldering chimney, so profusely did they distribute the burnt corn. Black-faced comedians and duchesses, quite questionable, possibly had to do with the murmurs of disapprobation from the critics, who doubtless believe with Kipling, "East is east and west is west and need is need," well will it be? By this story, hundreds of years ago, even to the present day, they do meet and laws not custom can prevent. Aida yet lives as one the most gorgeous operaes, and with all the prejudicial rantings, this Ethiopian princess remains the adored of the farmliskened captain and most important character of the play.

MY TRIBUTE By Nettie George Speedy There is no more fitting occasion than the first of the year to take a retrospective view of things that have come to pay homage where homage is due. A few years ago while riding on a street car and sitting directly behind two of our most prominent men, my friend gave me a nudgeing his companion and, pointing out of the window, he exclaimed: "Thero goes Abbott with his cigarette papers under his arm"; and a smile of satisfaction features of his friend he replied: "Well, every man has to pay for his experience, so let him pay," and then followed a discourse as to the probable voyages of the World's Greatest Weekly. I have often thought of that conversation, and too much praise cannot be given Robert S. Abbott for his homeliness. He was a great Race. Obstacles have confronted him on every side, barriers have arisen in his path, and everything imaginable has transpired to impede his progress, but he has fought the fight of a race that has been fought alone) and through his great determination to conquer he has been able, by his forceful personality, to give us a paper that dares to speak out and on that has done more good for our Race than all the others combined. A few months ago I was talking to a gentleman from Texas and he told me that he defended a medium through which he left home and he proudly told of the many things that he had accomplished since leaving, and he paid Mr. Abbott a great compliment by asserting, "The George Defender has made a man of me." To prove the scope of its popularity, a group of children were telling riddles, and one had asked: "What's this thing?" and having tried in vain to solve it. I whispered to one of the little tots, "Newspaper," and he immediately screamed, "I know, I know; the Chicago Defender." I saw more than fifteen letters on file from different prisons throughout the United States, and the inmates were asking for various information from something they had gleaned from the Chicago Defender. They loved their loved ones, friends have found friends, and many a schoolday friendship has been renewed through the columns of the World's Greatest Weekly. In order that we may appreciate the experience of the bott's brain-child, the Chicago Defender, it will be of interest to our many readers to know that we have today a newspaper owned and edited exclusively by one of our own men and has been a part of circulation of over 47,000 subscribers. So many of our friends wait for death before they pay tribute to their friends, and they help their good deeds and help their "lusters" be believed that while we can hear and understand, it is fitting that we praise those who deserve, are they cross that ebbish line, and have been gifted with many brilliant men: Booker T. Washington gave us our Tuskegee, Roscoe C. Simmons has given us our greatest orator, and Robert S. Abbott has given us our newest newspaper, the Chicago Defender.

REPORT OF LYNCHINGS PAST YEAR SUBMITTED Tuskegee, Ala., Jan. 4.—From the records kept by the division of records and research at Tuskegee institute, and Wikimedia, it appears that there were 38 persons lynched in that 1971, of whom 36 were Negroes and 3 were whites. Thirty-seven were males, and 13 were females, than one-third of those put to death, were charged with rape or attempted rape. The offences charged against the whites lynched were: Rose and murder, 1; fomenting strikes. The offenses charged against the Negroes were: Attempted rape, 5; rape, 6; murder, 2; killing officer of the Negroes, 1; road and being insolent, 2; attacking women, 2; disputing white men's word, 2; entering woman's room, 2; wounding officer of the law, 1; molesting woman, 1; assaulting woman with woman, 1; killing man in altercation, 1; accidentally killing child by running automobile over it, 1; vaguely, a wounding and robbing a law, 1; attacking a law, 1; opposition to war draft, 1; insulting girls, 1; writing insolent letter, 1. The states in which lynchings occurred and number in each state were as follows: Alabama, 4; Arkansas, 4; Arizona, 1; Florida, 1; Georgia, 6; Kentucky, 2; Louisiana, 5; Mississippi, 1; South Carolina, 1; Tennessee, 3; Texas, 6; Virginia, 1; Wyoming, 1. The total number of these lynchings does not include the hundreds of men who were killed and burned by southern plantation owners during the past century, and the hundreds of women who were murdered because they refused to bow to the beautly desire of southern men to men. The response of those who have suffered at the hands of the south and its sacred infamy and orgy, lynch law and burning. Several of the most famous lynchers in Mississippi are accredited with lynching and burning of men and women by the wholesale for the past year, such as the one who took such miscarriage of justice, because many instances city officials were the prime instigators and lynchers and records were suppressed. That a traveler who escaped from the southwest Georgia, where whites were having what is known as a hot supper, amusement was furried by the men of the year-old boy to the flames, while duncey whites danced about the bon-fire. PROMINENT YOUNG PEOPLE TO VISIT MOUND CITY St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 4.—Miss Aleta Stokes of Mt. Vernon, Ill., one of the most successful teachers in the southern Illinois field, and Mr. Shepard of Mt. Vernon, Ill., a successful practitioner, special days in this city with friends, Mr. Shepard is an electrical engineer, a graduate of the University of Illinois, and has a lucrative position in Galesburg in his chosen position. He has considered offering his services to his country and will possibly go to France. Fifth avenue, Chicago, is no more. With the old year she slipped into the dim past and with the 1918 came Wells street in its place. The change, by order of the city council, restores to the street, from Lincoln Park to Sixty-fifth street, the name given it in honor of Capt. William Wells, historic Indian fighter. It was 100 years ago because of the ill repute in which that part just south of the River fell in those just times. Boosters Give Kits St. Louis, Mo, Jan. 4.—The Bocsters, headed by Col. Charles Mills and JV. Silas Fearance, raised over $1,000 and fitted out kits containing suitable accessories for the boys at Funston.

The trip turned to the city and reported an excellent trip and all the men anxious to go over the city in France.

DAVIDSON. 2013 State St., Chicago, IL. Chicago Lady Has Harrowing Experience on Trip to Visit Son at Camp Logan The horrible treatment of our people, legally perpetrated under the Jim Crow laws, has soils to in detail in a letter delivered to the defender office, lately. Making the trip to Camp Logan at Houston, Texas, for the purpose of visiting her son, Sasha, of the 570 infantry, formerly Ethelmer regiment of Illinois, Mrs. J. H. Branam, one of Chicago's well known and most prosperous citizens, suffered every degrading detail practiced upon our people, from the harshness of the south of the Mason-Dixon line. After having bought a first class, through ticket to the Texas town, Mrs. Brennan was driven into the "Negro" coach at Carp, ill, and in that chair of horrors on wheels made her trip. Routed out of a first-class coach in the dead of night, this lady was in a wagon with a hot smelling, filthy snake, littered with a few other and rubbage, along with the other Race people who were on the train. Arriving at Memphis, Tenn., a "cleaner" all passengers in the car hold up their feet while they swept under the seats and brushed the aisles, in doing which all passengers in the car it off they dumped the disgusting contents of the dirty cuspidors into pails, right in plain sight of the passengers. These Jim Crow coaches are used by these southern gentlemen puff everything from a cotton cabbage to a dried buffalo chip, the coach resembling a wagon, the white matter worms in yards. There is only one toilet in each of these cars, and as a consequence both men and women are forced to use white matter worms to white men in wards coming out of their own car into the Jim and using these toilets, going so far as to beat upon the doors and de- In sections were traffic is heavy, the Jim Crow coaches are packed and the seats are a premium; still the news "butcher" is allowed to use an entire section, meaning seats sufficient for four passengers, in spreading out his wares, the orange petitions are slickening, to say nothing of the hundreds of flies which are found in the south the year around. Regardless of the appearances of recyclers, the Kitchener district in one conglomerate mass, the stinking, unwashed occupying seats with the clean, and the corn-cob puffers the clean, and the juice puffs the floors, regardless of the fact that might mean the rulment of some lady's skirt. These conditions are unbearable, and the man would be made for equal traveling facilities for our people in the south should and will meet with the approval of all who have been forced to use the present-day accommodations. $250,000 PORO PLANT NEARING COMPLETION The Poring College's new $250,000 building, in the heart of one of St. Louis' most exclusive business sections, is now fast hearing completion and the first one of the finest buildings of its kind ever owned by either race.

Mr. and Mellon and his wife met with much success and have been the highest contributors to charity in this city, having given $5,000 to the YMCA, providing food and shelter in providing fortunes on the night of July 3 last during the East St. Louis bloody riots.

As was expected, the Reserves made it interesting for the Vandals to play the Reserves had caged three baskets to the Vandals' one, and it looked like a Vandal defeat, but, how soon did the Reserves soon forged ahead and at the end of the half the Vandals were a few points in the lead.

RUBE OFF FOR FLORIDA THIS SUIT SENT ON APPROVAL A very interesting, as many amusing skirts were performed by the players Spartan displayed early that she was more accurate and aggressive. Manu was also shown, some pretty basketball, but the team seemed usually went away just as the criterial moment arrived to shoot a basket. Jackson was pressed closely by the Spartan team, but many fine rallies by Vaughn's team. Jackson's eye was out of true on the ball, while Johnson was taking advantage of many such points for Spartan. Score at end of first half: Spartan 15. Carlton 10. On resuming play for the second half, the Spartan Club had more players marked by more rough play than usual; but no one feeling was manifested in the game for Spartan by scoring four field goals, with Johnson and Wallace following with two each. Johnson was very sanguine throughout the game, and it was these points that gave Spartan her early lead. Johnson was injured in this half and it was thought he would have continued play after treatment, but he bravely continued play after treatment. McDonald's great strength proved too much for him and was withdrawn from having committed four personal fouls. Carlon managed to corral 7 points to Scott, and with build-up of Scott, Scott throwing one goal from field and four from four. Scott's work looks very promising, and with build-up of Scott, Scott would add strength to Carlton as a first lino player.

Over this issue we look as if the world is willing to give us our great American struggle, he is found on both sides in the fight.

In the present world war he helped to strike the staggerer. From this blow the Paris and France. From this blow the Paris has not yet successfully recovered. The allies began using their nation's military power to the introduction of a troop into the conflict in Europe. This was probably due to the fact that she had no means from East Africa to her own front. She is now using, however, native troops.

Three thousand of our own troops served in the Franco-Prussian war. In 1911 France was considering raising a million black troops from her colonial possessions. France has used many thousands of troops in the present war—Sengalese, Somali, Algerians and Moors among others. They are fighting in the British and in the French armies alongside of the British and French soldiers, and with such courage and valor that they have won the recognition and respect of many of their superior officers. Now that America has gone into the war, some 80,000 have already been called to the colors. It is in the armies of France, however, that we are distinguished. The reason for this is not far to seek. We like all other French colonials, love France. They learned that France was in danger, and though they had never set foot upon European France before, they rushed to the assistance of the mother country. Quotes Vicksburg Post The hold of France upon her colonies is wonderful. Despite German ingenuity, the French square miles was not stirred a hair's breadth by the cataclysm of 1814. The editor of the *Biennial Post* gives the reason. He says: "Fighting in the French army are thousands upon thousands of variously tinted men, from all of the French provinces, to the *Tonkinese* and Anamanes, jet black Bengalese, brown Kanakas, swarthy Moroccan, mullatoes from the French, and Anamanes, France, giving their blood and life for France. French colonists, all these are it. It is called 'inferior people', 'aborigines' and 'subject races' have rushed inland to the defense of the power supposed to have subjugated them. "But 'inferior people'! In the French colonies, all the people are inferior people. All the peoples of all lands where the French flag waves are free, equal and brothers. They are citizens of the French republic." That is why there is this extraordinary and touching response. The colonial policy of the French, the name of France with imperishable glory. France has been not only kind and good to her aborigines, but equal and free. Now, in her hour of need, they come to lay down their lives for her—France, the braved-minded, France the democratic. Gen. Mauroune's army, that played so conspicuous a part in turning the tide in the battle of the Marne, that France was posed largely of colonial troops from Africa. Two hundred sixty-four personal citizens of a single Somali battalion since it landed in France in 1916. One hundred ninety of these were won furious battles of the Alpine and Verdun. The 10,000,000 in America were more affected than any other element in America, even before the United States entered the war. Better opportunities opened for the Negro in the north. There he was able to get better wages, find a place in the hitherto closed industries, prove his skill and worth, secure better educational facilities for his children, and obtain better general treatment in living conditions, transportation and civic affairs. Victories Already Won The effects of the world war upon us in the United States may be summed up in four points. The war emphasizes his citizenship and his economic value as a food producer. Now we recall our loyalty in the past and the fact that now there are no shackers. Growth as a soldier has been emphasized. His ready response in the enlistment process, physical, showing made during the enlistment refutes many old charges of the thirteen hundred, for example, who were the officers training camp. Do Mines, only five showed any traces of white realizing; the great seriousness of war, has gone off to training and to the front with joyousness in the face of the enemy. The men cause and the common dances have awakened feelings of brotherhood. A Race On Trial Our soldiers carry a great responsibility of the white race" says the Chicago Tribune, "in point of discipline, self-confidence, and toward diminishing race prejudice." We are on trial. All must stand behind the black soldiers, to hearten and encourage them. Through loyalty and the "last full measure of devotion" we America, but full said requested citizenship for ourselves.

T MONTANA GEORGIA SATURDAY, JANUARY 5, 1918 ators Defeat Ninth Street 'Y' The home boys repeated with a field goal as the completion of some rapid fire passing. Warhorse Gray did, however, retaliated and Slocum rang a long one from right center. Gray's first commission of error allowed Klatt to tie up things momentarily, but Woodson piloted a two-timer, assisted by Penn. Thus did the score run to the first half, the Manhattanites trailing, occasionally tieling, but never leading; the half ended 14 to 12, leaving Queen Cityward. "Pouter Pigeon" Cooke, the sobriquet earned because of his strutting tactics, opened up the final half with a beautiful fielder from a difficult angle and not to be outdone. Gray followed suit. Meanwhile little Bobby kept ringing the fouls. Mason, with consummate skill, jumped a long one in allowing the Cincy peis to lead by 7 points. Then slowly but surely the work of staving off defeat began on the part of the Broadway boy. Cincy's lend dwindled to one lone point. With but one minute of play it seemed like a gold mine until a long goal by a New Yorker broke the ice and turned, things upside down. Defeated, but not disgraced, the maroon and white clamors for another chance at the champions. the preliminary, the O-Celder Staff Scheme.

Referee—Mason, Umpire—Brown WHITE LIEUTENANT SALUTES SUPERIOR St. Louis, Mo. Jan. 4—The present war has produced and will continue to bring out many varieties of the American character. Recently the Race was treated to an unpatriotic spectacle of some red necks in the south as a commissioned officer to deny his right to vote in the country by discarding it and leaving his home town between two suns, successfully gave some southern inville a lesson in military decorum. it remained for this city to go them all in demonstration of how the war is produced when Lieut. Walter Love, a graduate of the Des Moines training camp, the war, will only run face to face with Second Lieut. Chester H. Burg (white), who promptly prompted First Lieut. Love. The war broke out Lieut. Love was a jailor and Lieut. Burg a forfeited department, was his base, the city street department, was his base, the army regulations and both were too good soldiers to refuse the army regulations and both were too good soldiers to refuse the army regulations. Love spent the holidays in the city and was the presence of many social functions. He was well liked by the army and his friends are glad to see him succeed in his duty to his country. PRESIDENT'S ORDER IS WELL RECEIVED The order issued by President Wilson should execute of any more American soldiers soldiered in American Peril's forces abroad, has made an excellent impression throughout the country. There was no criticism along with the execution by the surprise manifested at the execution of the thirteen troopers of infantry because of the riot in Houston, but the victim felt that the vesting of so much authority in one commanding officer in such an extraordinary case was dangerous. There is no doubt: but that the men executed were technically guilty and amenable to the law, but it is also true that the execution of the president's order been in force before the Race would not have had to suffice. The pangs caused by their execution, an order no doubt would have resulted in justice being tempered with mercy.

No one could influence us into taking up arms against our own home land or putting one stone in the way of its advancement. We are fully aware of just what those 'round and about us are trying to do; we know that we are handicapped in the race for a livelihood; we know that we have been compelled to sacrifice on the altar of prejudice, as exemplified in lynchings and burnings at the stake, many human lives. Yet we have had faith that the light would come to these benighted blots on American civilization, and it has come in part the past year, with brighter promises for the future. This is but a sample of the rot which the German press is feeding its readers: "A strong movement for the establishment of an army composed of Negroes is on foot in America, according to trustworthy information. They expect a doubly beneficial effect from this plan—the allies will get liberal assistance without white citizens being sacrificed, and America will rid herself of the greater part of her undesirable Colored citizens." The writer of this slush is evidently not conversant with his subject matter. The tendency here, previous to the present war, has been to keep our men out of the military service. When it is remembered that the Eighth regiment was the only complete state military organization of Color in the country, it can readily be seen that this was an unwritten law. As our national army is made up of men chosen under a selective draft, which insures complete and absolute impartiality in the acceptance or rejection of men, our contribution will be in proportion to our numbers, as will the white man's. Nothing could be fairer. As to our being "undesirables," perhaps we are a little hazy on the definition of the word, but, if it means a scramble of employers, north, south, east and west, to secure our services, we come under the head of "undesirables." With the knowledge that we are 100 per cent American, that the fight is as much ours as it is the other fellow's, we go into the battle with all the vim and determination that is possible to be found in anyone who has his all at stake. We have followed the straight and narrow path of the loyalist too long to take a by-path in our old age. We have held the fort when others have failed; we have walked into the very jaws of death to retain the honor and dignity of our country, and, if the old Red, White and Blue ever falls from the hand of a wounded white brother, let one of us be at his side to quickly pick it up, that it may continue to wave o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. Mistreating Prisoners EVERY PERSON under arrest is not necessarily a law breaker. We have judges and juries to decide the innocence or guilt of the accused, and this can be impressed on the members of the police and detective force. The rough nature of the servants of citizens is a disgrace to any community that permits it. Clothing and some people imagine they are lords of creation and have a divine right to abuse, if they see it fit, any poor unfortunate who may chance to fall into their hands. They must, save America, these guards of public safety remain in their places, such as prisons, jail, and even when making an arrest, provided their prisoner is not abstegregerous. Many here get abusive and rough before the occasion demands it. It is reported that recently in Kansas City an officer roughly handled a lad of 16 in an attempt to make him confess a crime he perhaps was not guilty of. Much to the credit of his brother officers in the police station, they remonstrated and gave, in turn, the officer a good thrashing, which proves that there are good and bad in all walks of life. There is such a thing as becoming so hardened to even committing murder that it is done simply as a matter of course in a routine way. One can appreciate the trials of the average policeman, and yet, he, like the layman, must remember to be just, and, above all, remember that it isn't his duty or his privilege to mistreat prisoners. Army Executions AND NOW COMES THE NEWS from Washington that President Wilson has prohibited the execution of any more American soldiers—except in Gen. S. H. Hodgson, who, because the sentences of the court-martials have been reviewed in Washington. Under the orders of necessary since the thirteen troopers were executed for rioting in Houston, Teich is said, without their cases first being reviewed in Washington. While no penalties are imposed, it is advisable to have the death penalty reviewed by the War Department. To the extent that we are not marrow enough to believe that our boys were treated any differently than white soldiers would have been treated under like conditions, we cannot believe that every man is entitled to the last court before giving up his life, and, as the President says, everybody would be better satisfied to see his "O. K." on death penalty. RESTING Bud Simpkins sez he's free to own they never wuz a lazy bone In his hull make-up.

Remember first of all that consumption is primarily a disease of bad hygiene; a disease due largely to poverty, bad housing, IGNORANCE, bad feeding, underfeeding, underfeeding to, bad social conditions. Tuberculosis is such a universal disease that all persons are exposed or have been exposed at some time during their lives. Many persons have tubercular infection without a active manifestation of tuberculosis or the best scientists tell us that nearly every human being, or that 55 per cent of people infected, or have been, by the tubercular germ, infected in early childhood, and good home hygiene — living an in need hygienic life, the individual come the infection PETER H. Education On the other hand, as you become better educated, you learn and appreciate the value of health more and more. You learn that powerful and valuable asset health is. Once you are educated to this fact, you are not going to work, cabaret, drink alcoholies, carouse twenty hours out of the twenty-four hours you are going to proper amount of sleep, the necessary amount of rest to conceive your vital powers. You are not going to change your heavy flannel underwear in order to conform to some dress code. You are not young women in order to have a beautiful form at the ball will be indiscrete enough to discard their heavy underwear with long sleeves in order to wear a tighter fitting one and thus appear beautiful to some of their senseless admirers. This is bad hygiene due to the fact that you are not able to believe or to accept the proposition, that if you were properly educated to the value of good health, you would be able to change in your clothing for the sake of conforming to any fashion. even, well-balanced hygienic in infection is enabled to overcome the infection and avoid active tuberculous disease. **Hygiene** This brings in the question of hygiene. If you have been infected by the tubercular germ, or if you have been exposed to tuberculosis by long, close contact, by the practice of good hygiene you are able to build up the body powers and thus throw off your tuberculosis infection. On the other hand, if you practice bad hygiene, if you keep late hours, if you carouse, frequent and remain in places where the air is soil and bad, and if you go out alone, you should self almost wet with perspiration, then ride home on a cold street car or in a taxi cab, you are practicing bad hygiene and your body powers are there. However, you release the tubercular germ as it were, and they become ac Avoiding Tuberculosis We are firmly convinced that consumption is a preventable disease. We are also convinced its prevention lies in the doctor's advice. The doctors, ministers, school teachers, newspapers, and in fact, all social and public workers must lay great stress upon the education of their students that it is far better to PREVENT, not only consumption, but any disease. From Slavery to Success, or What the Defender Has Done Fiction still lives, and that old story of the dissatisfied man eager to bridge the gap between the city and the country in the conquest of "success" and two children, and to do the best they could until we could meet again. Not knowing where I was going, I first went to Memphis and from there to St. Louis. When I arrived in St. Louis I found men being transported to all parts of the country, so I gladly received transportation to Flint, Mitch, to work for the Benck Motor Co. Arriving in Flint on May 28, I went to work on Monday, the 29th, starting at $3 per day in factory No. 15. I worked hard and on June 6, pay day, I got a raise, then getting $4 per day, and on Aug. 20 was transferred to factory No. 20. Then my salary was $6.75 a day and am still holding the same job. I desired my family to share my find. It cost me $90 to get them transported here and $50 to have my household goods shipped here. The cheapest house that I could get was $22 per month and two months after they raised the price to $25. Notwithstanding all of these difficulties I have placed to my credit in the First National Bank at Flint $600 in this short space of time, and now I ask God's blessings upon Mr. Abbott and his staff, and I am glad to say that I have been inspired to write my own work to the heart of some men who are still sleeping in Dixie and tell them that yesterday has passed, today is nearly gone, and tomorrow may never come; to awake, arise and come to the north and be wise." PETER B. Following the Defender's heedful advocacy to recount south to come north, where wages fit the qualification where the standard of living may not always remain an eternal scrum, it is no prejudice but free industry where poverties may not al- ment; where power may not always remain a wasting disease, where thrift, and economy are the maxims Alexandra, La., made his advent into the north, the trail of his quest leading to Flint, Mich.

We believe that people are not necessarily as possible, we believe that the majority life and act according to their light (education) and that those who must teach those who DO NOT know People for a long time were obsessed with the idea that tuberculosis was due to a dire visitation of God upon them. We have always thought that thing to do with it and people must be taught that a large amount of their sickness, suffering—is due to ignorance, lack of knowledge, ignorance is the greatest sin in the world—that as we reduce ignorance, we greatly minimize all of our other shortcomings. Under prevention we must teach children to be born; every child should at least be born of a healthy, intelligent father and mother; that after it has come into the world, it should be given a clean, healthy (or in other words) in good, wholesome hygienic surroundings. We believe that there are enough people to be well housed, for the reason that tuberculosis is a house disease. We believe that every human being should have sufficient nourishment, sufficient food, and sufficient power to his vital powers to a normal standard. Some eat toot much, and others do not eat enough. The above mentioned conditions, from a health standpoint, must be through the agent of education. It is alright to preach and talk to people about having "milk and honey and walking the golden streets" in that other world, but we are conscious of the fact, that we are living in this world and that we have got to have bacon and eggs, bread and potatoes; beef chops, lamb chops and pork chops go a long way toward satisfying a hungry man, and while we are preparing to "walk the golden streets in that world," we have cobblerstones, brick, gravel and asphalt streets to travel here. Our heels as well as our hearts become often bruised on account of the misfortunes that overtakes our brothers and that one of the great misfortunes, one of the widest and most distributed misfortunes that overtakes human beings in their active period of life is the awful scourge we call tuberculosis or lung consumption; and that the most practical way we have to prevent tuberculosis, is by educating the general public. This education must be by those who have the light. In other words, there should be a united, concerted team planned campaign made, not once in awhile, but every day, every night, year in and year out, in order to blot out ignorance. Ignorance is our greatest enemy, the greatest sin in the world. We believe our educated men will reconsecrate and rededicate their lives to the strenuous effort of blotting out ignorance.

CHICAGO JAN. 5, 1918 And If He Wants Really to Know, We'll Proceed to Get Him Told (Special Staff Correspondence) Memphis, Tenn., Jan. 4.—The following remarkable advertisement appeared in all "white" Memphis papers a few days ago: Inasmuch as the exigencies of war affect your race identically as they affect any other race, we fail to understand the indifference you manifest in the present crisis. Cannot the leaders among you proceed at once to organize sub-committees for a Red Cross drive? We should have something like 10,000 members for 1918 in your ranks. One dollar per year is all. Ask your pastor. Respectfully. S. H. PHILLIPS, Chairman. This "S. H. Phillips" seems to be highly indignant at something—"I don't understand you, sir; present arms and bow" sort of a gentleman. "We' fail to understand, he allows. What "we'? Who is "we'? In memphis alone "we'—the people—is composed of many elements. Forty-five per cent of "we' belongs to the Race that went to the battlefield fifty years ago and paralyzed the treasonable hand of Phillips" "we,' that was then raised against the starry flag. Who is this Mr. Phillips that he, or any of his kind, or household, should lecture "Colored People' of any section of either Tennessee or the South? In Morals Nor Loyalty Mighty in all things, and first in many, still it is as plain as the face of time that southern white men can instruct the "Colored Race" in neither morals nor loyalty. Living in a world of profligacy, the Race in the South is still undestroyed by its deadly influence. Though a part of the history of the South, still it is not the Race that wrote the chapters on treason, disunion and disloyalty. What does Phillips read? Or does he read at all? Has he been hidden all the years among the flour barrels and sugar sacks of his house of trade? Why, the Irish Catholic tyrant scribbling in schoolboy language for the Commercial Appeal loose flirt of journalism, might have imparted the information that "indifference" is a word foreign to the "Colored Race" in time of peace or war. The Race eagerly sends its "flower" to the front, while southern exemptions boards practice every deception known to the southern scheme of government to protect "white" youth with the mantle of cowardice. "INDIFFERENCE!" Hundreds of the Race in these parts belong to the Red Cross. Many of them had joined the Red Cross before Memphis, or the South generally, ever heard of the Red Cross—being content with their own blood cross, upon which "we" crucified a Race as daily food. Perhaps the Race does not take to the Red Cross of Memphis and west Tennessee, as directed by "Mr. Phillips and his indignant associates. But this is not "indifference." It is supreme contempt for an unmerciful band of pretenders. The Red Cross is a sublime organization, performing a work of devoted sacrifice. Every American, black and white, should enroll under its banner and support its mission, for the woman under the red mark follows the footsteps of the American soldiers on their way to the castle of the Hapsburg. But every man, even in time of war, must be allowed the choice of his company. As conducted in the South, Race women have no business in the local Red Cross. And Race men are determined no longer to sanction the studied and sleepless insults heaped upon their women, first by other women who condemn them, and then by men, whose hands are easy and whose tongues are soft only to prostitute beauty after beauty has fed to the full upon morsels of flattery. The Race in Memphis and west Tennessee has neither respect for Mr. Phillips "we" nor a mustard grain of confidence in what his "we" plans to do. There is another "we." They would rather send their names and mites to New York or Chicago than risk the heavy hand of oppression now pretending to serve the call of mercy. Mr. Phillips "we" does not understand. Mr. Phillips claims not to know. Let the other "we" reply. "We" remember Ell Persons, put to death to close the mouth of guilt and shield the shame of blood. "We" remember Will Butler, who was held by officers of the law while a brute knifed him to the heart and to death for protecting a woman of his Race from the villain. "We" remember Bob Smith—thirty years in one spot and owner of 320 acres of land—shot to pieces by Mike Tate sheriff of Shelby county, because Smith refused to open his doe in the dead of night; Bob Smith, father of fourteen children having lived a spotless life for more than a third of a century. "We" remember that "southern chivalry" pursues the maidens of a Race that lust might follow gold. "We" see how women of southern loyalty as thick as leaves about us, living in shame, and flaunting themselves in the schools and public and social life of the South. "We" know much that the other "we" forget that we know only to remember. "We" are riding in Jim Crow cars; "we" are walking the path of fear; "we" are taxed to feed the "trash" of our civilization, and "we" are tired of the wretchedness and brutality of it all. "We may not be able to remedy it, but there is no law to compel association with those that rob and burn us, and pronounce phrases happier in assurance than in grammar. Ten times ten thousand of the Race for the Red Cross, but not for a "white" Red Cross. That hearts that never heard her cry would now make her call must make Mercy weep. Mr. Phillips advises the Race to "ask your pastor." Ask him what? The God-sent preacher has already spoken to his people. And that creature, who once stood in the pulpit and on the forum to preach his Race to heaven and sell it to Mammon, has influence with Mr. Phillips' "we," but not with ours. Ask Allison Sweeney to bear witness upon the point. If he is silent through modesty or kindness, inquire of "Rev." Sutton E. Griggs. He knows "Colored People." And they know him! James Woldon Johnson RADICALLY DIFFERENT from the usual volume of verse, so different in fact, that it is claimed by the foremost critics to have no peer in American poetry, is "Fifty Years, and Other Poems" by James Weldon Johnson, a man in the bigger and broader field found in the literary world for the advancement of our people, to use no further introduction. Solomon and vidual the faculty of doing many things well. Mr. Johnson, representing the government in a foreign land, convinced the powers that be that he was a thorough diplomat. His "Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man" was a tru- to-life novel that arrested the attention of the reading world. He has trans- tributed his work to managers librettos of Spanish, French and German dramas. In the field of poetry, he shares with Paul Laurence Dunbar the credit of contributing to the world of letters the best to be had in American-made poetry. "Fifty Years, and Other Poems" is the kind of book that doesn't come along. It has the thing called charm. Of all the books in your possession there are some that, in their own qualities, you prize more than the others. Such a book you will find in James Weldon Johnson's "Fifty Years, and Other Poems." WITH THE NEXT DRAFT right at our door, our young women might as well get ready to do their bit—not at home, but from working in a boiler factory to running street cars—for as the war goes on, they will be as scars at the proverbial hen's nail. THOSE OF US, WHO LIVE where the thermometer is around the go point or lower, at least have it over those birds in the nest—the matter of sliding down hill, and ice skating—because we don't care go-in-bathing where tearful alligators are, anyway.
