From an obscure place in the eyes of certain people this office has come into such prominence that it is often now the mecca for some of the biggest people in Greater New York. On "paper day" there is a beaten path from Lenox avenue down 135th street to this office of anxious newsies, who weekly dispose of more than 3,000 Defenders themselves on the streets of Harlem on "press day." Monday one of the busiest spots in Harlem is right here in this office. On that day the staff here turns out or finishes up more news than is to be found in any other local paper. In fact, many prominent New Yorkers have said on several occasions that "we find more New York news in the Defender than in any other New York paper." Opened March 1. 1918 March 1, 1918, is the date when the office first opened for business. The staff then conasted of William White, general manager; Walter B. Abbott, business manager; Charles T. Magill, in charge of news, and Pauline Snowden, stenographer. Since then Oscar J. Benson and Ruth E. Whitehurst have been added to the staff, with Walter R. Lofton as Brooklyn representative. Special contributors are at present, also added to the Dafender workers during the year, Daniel J. Mobley, East New York; Albert B. Modecal, Modesto Bravo and Pauline Queen. Thriving agencies and correspondents have also been located, as the work of this office, in Newark, Jersey City, Carona and Jamalca, L. I.; Yonkers, White Plains, Ossining, Peekskill, Poughkeepsie, Stamford, Conn.; Waterbury, Conn., and New Haven. A few years ago Oscar J. Benson looked after the sale of Defenders in Manhattan, through the Harlem district; Walter B. Abbott circulated the paper downtown and in the Columbus Hill section, while William White cared for the Brooklyn end. Little New York news appeared in those days, however, until White undertook the sending in of news. He found the people so interested in reading Brooklyn news that he enlisted the services of Charles T. Magill to write news for him. Together they circulated the paper across the river. At one time White had Sergt. Rosco Lee of the old 15th writing sports for him, as well as John E. Patterson, who took up Lee's work when the latter went to war. Circulation Grows The Brooklyn circulation grew by leaps and bounds until, finding it impossible to distribute 1,100 papers, White and Abbott hit on the plan of an office. Together they journeyed to Chicago and obtained permission to try out the scheme. Because of his adaptability to the newspaper game, R. S. Abbott placed White in the office, with Walter B. Abbott, a 14th of the owner, in charge of the news end. White, who up to that time was a postal mark in the New York postoffice, then resigned there) The general manager placed) Magill in charge of the news and bestowed on that individual the title of staff correspondent. Pauline Snowden was taken on then as stenographer, and now, after one year BAN NEW YORK AND BROOKLYN NEWS BUY STOCKS NOW-TODAY-DON'T DELAY 538 LENOX AVENUE, NEW YORK CITY, AND 25 WEST 133RD STREET, NEW YORK CITY WELCOME HOME FUND FOR OLD 15TH Chicago Defender.....$10.00 Pope B.

The Race First Under a policy of the Raco—our public—first, the staff has built up a circulation in Greater New York in one year of 18,000. This bona fide circulation includes 13,000 in Manhattan and 5,000 in Brooklyn, but does not include those Defenders sold each week by out-of-town agents in this vicinity. That number reaches now the auspicious mark of 13,785, making an actual bona fide circulation in and around New York of 31,785. An enviable record, indeed. Courtesy, attention to business, a pull-together spirit among the entire staff, working always for and in the interest of the World's Greatest Weekly, has made the members here in New York an excellent newspaper working machine—one that New Yorkers have learned to their pleasure—and sometimes to their sorrow—to reckon with. Aided Window Smashing Affair Three Race men, one said to have been in army uniform, are reported to have walked up to the window of Jacob Braunstein's jewelry store, 2707 Third avenue, the Bronx, one evening last week and completely demolished same.

Y., at one time a postal clerk attached to the railway mail service, Grand Central terminal. Lieut. Harvey, who just before the war was a mining engineer in Mexico, won his spurs at Fort Des Moines, but resigned. Later he entered the army as a second lieutenant with the 372d infantry, winning promotion to first lieutenant in the A. E. F. in France. He saw active service on the bloody battlefields, and one night while on horseback his mount became frightened by a shell and tumbled the lieutenant into an unseen trench. As a result Lieut. Harvey suffered an injury to his spine that may prove permanent. He has applied for a commission in the regular army and expects to receive it. At present Harvey is located with the 413th Bm., Q. M. C., Camp Dix. On Visit Mrs. Hazel Bell, 894 8th avenue, had as dinner guests last Thursday evening Miss March of 53d street, Mrs. Wm. White, 2484 7th avenue, general agent for the Kashmir Chemical company in this section, and her mother, Mrs. Susan Brooks. After dinner the remainder of the evening was spent playing whist and enjoying musical numbers. CLEF-CLUB Pre- Lenten Concert and Reception Monday March 3 AT 8:30 P. M.

Monday, Feb. 17, the day of the old 15th infantry parade, many hundreds who visited Harlem also made it their business to make the Defender New York office their headquarters during the day. Brooklyn is where the foundation was laid for the opening of the New York office and they likewise have grown with the Defender and believe in it. Hence Brooklyn, especially East New York, is getting more like Chicago every day. Mme. French Away Mme. M. Waller French, the noted and talented wife of Counsellor C. G.

E. Wibecan, the well-known Brooklynite, was bitter in his denunciation of the treatment accorded residents of the borough of Brooklyn in the matter of grand stand seats for the 15th parade. According to Wibecan, who was a prominent member of the committee in charge of the affair, but fifty grand stand seats were allotted to him for his constituents across the river, notwithstanding the fact that one whole battalion, the Second, of the 15th came from Brooklyn, and also notwithstanding that there are 45,000 members of our Race residents there. Mr. Wibecan, long noted for his interest in civic affairs pertaining to our Race, worked hard and faithfully to make the affair a success, and at the Civic League, where the tickets were handed out the Saturday evening before the parade, he was vehement in expressing his displeasure at the treatment accorded Brooklynites.

We Are OIL! One on Our Okla THESE TWO WELLS A AND MILLIONS AND MILLION OUR LEASES ARE SITUATED ING FROM A THOUSAND BA WHAT A ONE THOUSAND B US IN DIVIDENDS. A THOU J. J. ALLEN PRESIDENT I am like the polar wave. I have come to stay. I am in the oil business, to stay. The man that fails in any business or undertaking is the spasmodic man or the person that wants to make a fortune in a few days. I believe that if any person goes into a legitimate business and puts into it the proper amount of energy and good business principles, with proper backing, he is sure to win if he sticks to it. I have had a little over one year's experience in the oil business and I am glad to say that my work has been very fruitful. I have paid out a few thousand dollars in dividends to our people throughout this country, and I can see very plainly the great fortune that awaits us in the near future in oil. I receive letters of congratulations daily from people stating that this was their first time to invest in a Negro business concern and receive a dividend in such a short time. I am determined to succeed in this way. I am determined to provoke the world that Negroes are when the time big things as well as Ford expects. Are you not with me?

He will be on the ground there most of the time, as quite a few Negroes in Texas own in the oil region that they want us to lease and also quite a few Negroes in Texas that want to invest heavily in the stock have asked for a personal interview with our President, James McNeil, to give while in Texas. Our Treasurer James McNeil is now spending three or four weeks in Oklahoma for the same purpose that our President is in Texas.

"The Silver King" deals with the adventures of Wilfred Denver, an English country squire, who is ruined by a supposed friend in revenge for cutful girl who in the affection of a beautiful girl who in the marries. Years later, Ware induces Denver, but he has on a Derby race, the result that he is in impoverished. When Denver hears Ware gloating over the success of his scheme, he goes to the court house at night with the intention of buying but Ware instead is slain by a leader. Denver is suspected of the crime, he evades arrest by fleeing to this country and he amasses a fortune in a western mining camp. His wife and friends, as well as the police, believe him to have been killed in a railroad accident and when he reappears in England under an assumed name execling overtime. Denver's innocence of murder is established and he is reunited with his family. Mr. Faversham is supported by Barbara Castleton, who plays opposite him; Washington Gumble, John Sandland and other well known players. "JUST A WOMAN" The day after the first performance of the "Woman" in New York, where it ran for an hour and the public alike went forth singing the thor's praise. The play is written in acts and an epilogue, and the scenes are laid among the great steel industries. Through the inspiration of his ambitious wife a common workman rises to the position of head of a large steel corporation. He becomes a figure of force and influence, both in the industry and in the social world. Here he meets a man woman who, had it not been for his true and loyal wife, he would never have been able to meet. As is generally the case, "fine features soon attract "fool man," and his home is in the way of him. He stays away and always offers the man "business demands that I go here and there." At last he is made to believe that his wife is beneath him, too uncultured to be seen in society. Unable to find anything in her conduct that warrant divorce, he trumps her charges with the aid of an unscrupulous detective agency and brings her to trial. The wife refuses to defend herself, and the judge announces his intention to give the husband the decree with which she husband the boy, the only joy she has known since the former days as the wife of a poor but loving husband. It is at this point that her womanhood asserts itself; she rushes to the stand; she perjures herself by deceit; she is forced from her against her are true, but that the child cannot be given to the husband, because he is not its father. Here we see to what length a true woman will touch her own flesh and blood, "her child," she says, "because her greater love knoweth no man than the love of a true woman for her child.

Greater New York has only 4,300 miles of streets and alleys and that Chicago has 4,900 miles of streets and alleys; that Greater New York City has 4,900 miles of streets and alleys to clean the streets and alleys in 1918-1919 as against four million dollars ($4,000,000) asked for the city of Chicago, although Greater New York has 900 less miles of streets and alleys to clean than the city of Chicago. Plea for Higher Street Budget Alderman Jackson went into the street and alley cleaning and garbage removal question such as no alderman city official, had ever done before and city officials had ever done before, the masterpiece of the budget making. His plea for an addition of one million dollars for this public service and health benefit for the people of the city was made by the council as one of the greatest acts performed by an alderman since the city council was organized, and as usual the big lally newspapers made no mention of his role. The Race has produced a real statesman in Alderman Jackson and the Second ward should feel proud of the fact that they produced a city father who has occupied a seat in that distinguished body of the city's government.

Quincy, Ill., Feb. 28—In December 1918, a "social center" for the people of Quincy was opened at 833 N. 10th St. and grew beyond all expectation and today we are preparing to secure larger accommodations. On Feb. 12 our school board granted great consideration, imasmuch as there had been a unanimous vote to have no holidays this school year because of the long quarantine of the students in honor of our beloved Lincoln, and, second, because we used that day for a tag day the result of which was our expansion in the near future. Our purposes are to cover all the needs of the young people of this city, where TO GROW LONG STRAIGHT HAIR There are so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perforators that get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp be sure and give a remedy of proven merit. Seeby's Quinade is one of the most well-known stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. It is the main reason of an expert chemist and L: made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the hair. To get best results from the use of Quinade it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with entirely Quinasap. Quinasap is made principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasap latters very freely. It leaves the hair soft and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unrequited by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Sinead's miniswap asking for them by the full miniswap asking for them if your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles ask him to obtain them for you from his whole mail to you. Your price and we will mail them to you.

It appears upon the face of it that the association was organized with the principal object of stopping the inflow of unauthorized tenants; the district bounded on men's street, south by 53rd street, on the west by Cottage Grove avenue, and on the east by Lake Michigan; and to make Kenwood a home for the angels, to mail $5.00 to the secretary to become a member and it will do the rest. Let us face this proposition in its true light: Kenwood in early days was known as the most desirable reservation in the Chicago; but now we find the old palatial shadedy by flat buildings everywhere, occupied by people who have come from every section of the city and forced themselves upon the old residents, taking away the exclusiveness and having more. Being in a position and having more, we have migrated to the cool coast, with the result that there are now more houses that are going to wreck, more for sale and for rents signs placarded the district than in any part of the city, representing in value to such an extent that many common laborer can buy or rent. Here come the knockers, with their propaganda, deeply interested and with little or no money, who are going to resurrect anything—the bathing holes, parks and playgrounds, morals and art—and are—to increase their acquaintances—working against the inevitable. What does this all mean to us; this readjustment through which our city is passing? An invitation to get busy. Regardless of the pangs of the call, the progress of the still continue—buying home, indoors, indoors are offered, renting more desirable flats, improving our condition.

AINT NOBODY that we believe, that we believe, SINCE 'O' Adam in 'the garden' had 'at little it' BILL NUMBER 15338 IN THE HOUSE of Representatives our friend, Congressman Martin B. Madden, recently introduced a bill to amend an act entitled "An Act to regulate commerce," which in brief provides that in interstate transportation no discrimination shall be made on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude. In Texas, Florida and several other southern states, legislators have introduced bills that had for their object the betterment of conditions for the darker hued citizens in their respective domains. To all of these men who have the courage of their convictions, who stand out in bold relief and advocate an unpopular cause, who believe that every American citizen is entitled to the same rights and privileges, we are grateful. IT IS NOT CONCEDED praise should be bestowed on one who simply sees a duty and performs it, but when it is taken into consideration that not only things, but most people, move along the lines of least resistance, and when those are found who refuse to pass around a stumbling block, but attempt to throw the block not only from their path but from the path of all who follow, we would be less than human did we not commend them. WHILE WE ARE WILLING to commend any friend seeking to help us, yet we are unable to understand the necessity for additional legislation touching our rights as a citizen of this land. If any bill is introduced in Congress it should be a measure to enforce the Amendments to the Constitution of the United States. In the three Amendments, Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth, lies a cure for every grievance of which we complain. These Amendments were not intended as a joke; the framers of the Constitution were men actuated by the highest motives, and they did not intend that any section of the Constitution should have one application for the white and another for the black. Neither did they intend that the Amendments in question should have such elasticity that they could be bent to the will of any particular section of this country. IT STRIKES US as rather strange that every section of the Constitution can be enforced, and is enforced, except those Amendments touching the right's of our people. The decision of Chief Justice Taney in the Dred Scott case, holding that no Negro had any right which a white man was bound to respect seems to have become the settled law of this land. Every case affecting us under the "Jim Crow" laws passed by southern legislatures which has found its way to the court of last resort, the Supreme Court of the United States, has invariably been decided against us. TRUE, A FEW MEN, like the late lamented Judge Harlan of Kentucky, consistently rendered a dissenting opinion, yet the fact remains that this court has steadfastly maintained a hostile attitude toward us. The thinking element of our people are unable to understand this discrimination and consequently view any new legislation upon this subject with suspicion. FREDERICK DOUGLAS, the great tribune of our people and one of the ablest orators that America produced, was wont to say that all the Negro asked was that the American people live up to their Constitution and their laws. That is all that we ask today, and however well meaning some of our political friends may be we shall be satisfied if, following the injunction of Douglas, they will comply with this demand. We are no longer a child race and the efforts of politicians to deceive us will be futile. HOUSE BILL Number 15338 is not needed unless it can be so amended as to enforce existing legislation. We repeat that we do not need any new legislation on the subject. We do need, however, a rigid enforcement of the supreme law of this country, namely, the Constitution of the United States. In short, we are no longer in a mood to tolerate legislative jokes. This country has upon many occasions used its great navy and its army to enforce the rights of some meddling American in other parts of the world, yet it has been unable to protect its citizens at home if those citizens happen to be of our Race. WHEN A FEW ITALIANS charged with the murder of the chief of police of New Orleans were lynched we paid to their families an indemnity of $800,000, and the power of the Federal Government was used to its utmost to bring the lynchers to justice. If the strong arm of the Federal Government is potent enough to protect aliens and their families, why in the name of heaven can it not protect its own black citizens? Until this question can be answered we shall continue to regard any new bill touching our rights in this land as a political joke. Our people are beginning to look askance at a government that continually exacts of us the supreme sacrifice that a citizen can give while denying to us all of those fundamental rights that are due in return. And this applies to this administration and all others that have preceded it since the days of reconstruction. BOUGHT AND PAID FOR AMERICANS have any conception of the meaning of American history. One is often superseded by the meaning of well meaning white people are disposed in America. We are in fact the only eleven without an invitation. To speak true to the ground, we as and we as dates between three centuries and our birth stronger, than that of the Pilgrims who we antecedent them by at least a year. THE POPULATION has played so large a role in our group that we have given to the country much of it of our folk songs and have added much of it of our strange as it may seem our own people played by them in the history making epoch of no field offering more interesting and with our long residence in America. X HOW FEW AMERICANS have any conception of the part played by our people in the making of American history. One is often surprised at the sheer magnitude by both black and white relative to this all important question. Many may be surprised by the fact that we are mere interpliers in American. We are in fact the only element of our population that came here without an invitation. To speak truthfully, we declined to extend to us and were brought here against our will. Our residence here dates to the 18th century, a branch of Americanism is as strong, if not stronger, than that of the Pilgrims and Mayflower, because we antagonize them by at least a year. WE POPULATION has played so outstanding a part, nor has any racial group imitated it, as has our people. We have given to the country much of its romance, its native music, growing out of our folk songs and have added much to the traditions of Strange as it may seem our own people have little conception of the part played by them in the history making epoch from 1619 to the present. KNOW of no field offering more interesting and instructive study than that dealing with living residence in America. Many long standing delusions may be removed by the Civil War and the period of reconstruction. Most of the information that came here period has come from sources that had an ax to grind. The real facts have no period or less hidden. Were they known to us our view of American political conditions? HOW MANY OF US know that the Emancipation Proclamation of Mr. Lincoln was a mere- threat to compel the South to lay down its arms? How many of us know that the Proclamation was held in abeyance ninety days in the past, and that time to comply with the demands of the national government for surrender is indeed, and any one making such an assertion is generally looked upon as a betrayal, and Necessity played no little part in our history. It freed us, it compelled the nation to enlist us as soldiers and this, too, in the teeth of the strongest opposition. THE NORTH opposed our emancipation because it meant the releasing of thousands of white-bodied slaves whose labor would come into competition with free white labor. The South sought to hold on to competition with white labor was necessary to the life of that section of the country. So far as the public sentiment of the nation was concerned both sections were agreed that we should today in a more or less modified form. It finds expression in the passage of separatist legislation in one section of the country which is either approved or quietly abolished in by the other section. EVER AMONG our legislators in the halls of congress there seems to be a frequent gallery play in the form of some sectional measure. Senator Foraker, a frequent friend of our people, strange as it may seem was, it is said, a bosom palate of most outspoken enemy the first public concerning us, they no doubt is in accord with their private CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME UNMOLESTED SOUTHERN ATTORIES WILSON typical of the attitude of northern and southern statesmen these gentlemen was WE ALONE were deceived by this play at opera bouffe. Milton gave in his immortal poem, *Virtuoso Lost*, Long is the way and hard that out of darkness we find ourselves. We are in the way and the way of the journey. But we want to warn friend and foe that we are awake. It will be a difficult matter in the future to keep us wedded to the fetishes of the past. We must be careful not to over measure of right that has come to us we have won with two centuries and a half of unrequited toil. Our freedom came to us as a military necessity, and the ballot was put into our hands for much the same reason as the gun. WE SHALL BE DISPOSED in the future to play an independent part in the politics of the country, and politicians may find us in the market for the best guns, and politicians will sit us citizen under the laws, and no longer the pumps of any party seeking to take over by an empty sanctioned pressure for forty years we have been a followed track with no lessening of the pressure from above. The lyncher still rides upon his nightly rails. The mob still holds sway in the North as well as the South, the "Jim Crow" car still ambles. What's the difference whether they are standing or sittin', they reach the dring line about the same time. "WE FEEL MORE AT HOME on State street now, the old 5th is back," said one pretty brunette to another, and the "masher" who overheard quickly made his get-away as a soldier boy approached. IT IS A LITTLE TOO EARLY to talk about going to the country, but if these warm days keep up biggish, wore out in the park some afternoon. IF THE RESULT of the primaries didn't exactly suit you be brave and bow to the will of the majority: you can't have everything your way in the THE PRIMARY RESULT FIERCE WAS THE FIGHT and bitter waged by candidates and their supporters for public offices right up to Primary day. The Democratic party had comparatively easy sailing, but on the Republican side every office had two or more aspirants in the field. With the entire Chicago press against him, Hale Thompson polled a comfortable majority and assured him another term as mayor of America's second largest city. And let it be said to the credit that he they save Mr. Thompson $5,000 more than any other ward, a tangible way of showing appreciation for a friend. IN THE MATTER OF SELECTING a candidate, Mr. Thompson is so much in the lighthearted regard of the advice advanced by the Municipal Voters League to support Mr. the votes, by a majority of several hundred, the encouragement for Louis B. Anderson and again showed the confidence and high esteem in which he is held. The wise citizen realizes that in factional fights many of the candidates before election, that are not complimentary or truthful. One doesn't have to look far to find a fault in anybody. We are all human and liable to IN THIS COUNTRY the majority rule, those who happen to be on the losing side are simply the unfortunate, the unfortunate, the unfortunate, over ill luck. He game, kick in and rally to the support of the winner. Our selected winner Hake Thompson and Loren Derserson for alderman. Both men have been tried and found not wanting, so let's put our shoulders to the wheel and their election in March unanimously. College Heads Organize Historical Society Tuskegee, Ala.

PREVENTIVE MEASURES, FIRST AID REMEDIES HYGIENICS AND SANITATION No Cases Are Diagnosed and No Prescriptions Given in These Weekly Articles When we produced our first article on pregnancy and prospective motherhood, we entered the sacred precinct of this subject with some fear and a sense of silence as to how the matter would be received by the needy public; but, to our surprise, this department has been flooded with letters from various parts of the country, using for information all lines of all phases of pregnancy and the care of the prospective mother. We have had letters from New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, Florida, and Dr. A. W. Williams would be received by the needy public and the surprise, this department has been flooded with let-off requests and parts of the country asking for information along with all areas of pregnancy and the care of the prospective mother. Welcome letters from New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, Florida, California, Texas, New Mexico and one from over the sea—all want information. Among the items upon which to know the pregnant state? Cessation of Menses When a married woman heretofore has been regular in her menstruation occurring over 35 days (she being female) and in the absence of any other known or reasonable suspected cause, such as biopsies and low status of body she is not usually consulted. She will also note a tingling in the breast and an enlargement of the same uterus especially on the right side of the uterus or arising in the morning. With the above symptoms it is the part of wisdom for you to consult a doctor. These are only presumably dark, alarming. Another lady wishes to know, "How to find the date of birth." The date of birth can only be determined approx. from one week to ten or fifteen days; but, if your condition is normal and the condition of the child is healthy, you can determine by your physician there is a danger. To know the date of birth it is customary to count back three months from the date of your last menstruation. For instance, your last menstruation for June 25, 1918, count back three months and add seven days—that would give the probability of birth, about, as the probable date of birth. Mrs. A. C. wants to know "What to do for sickness of stomach." Morning sickness is a very difficult matter but can only make suggestive recommendations applicable to the average case. These remedies, a simple suggestive remedies; the physician's advice; or the case is the best judge as to what to do. The following remedies have often been used as teaspoonful of pepper mint in hot or cold water. Tincture iodine in cold water or milk, i teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda glass of cold water. In some cases, you may also like relish ice or sugar or cream. Ginger ale, lemon or orange juice is good and the eating of a plain soda cracker is very helpful. A cold drink is very effacious in settling the stomach. "Should a pregnant woman drink cold water?" Most emphatically, yes. You should drink plenty of cold water, from 4 to 8 ounces daily. As previously mentioned, this water tends to flush out the kidneys, and will often prevent serious kidney complications. "What to do for shortness of breath?" While we would like to annotate the questions put to us on this subject from the book, we must subject of pregnancy is too serious to be answered in a general way, and we must in most instances instruct our patients to be due to disease of the heart. If so, we can expect along lines of general nature. Now as to what shall be done for shortness of breath—we must first be aware of the worry and freeting. This shortness of breath should be due to disease of the kidney, acute Bright's disease or the kidney of pregnancy. You should get plenty of rest, warm baths, keep your howels freely dry, and fast rules applicable to every woman in your treatment to find it a good thing to sleep with your head well elevated propped up with bowels—this will give you much relief for your shortness of breath. Try to avoid overloading your stomach, it will help your shortness of breath. "How should the pregnant mother sleep?" The simple answer is to sleep in the manner that is most comfortable to the child, rest best on back, others lie on right side on back, others lie on left side on back, fortably on left side on account of crowding of the heart. Would advise that you do not lift your arms above your head, but rather than shoulders after third month. It has been found that straining of muscles in these movements has caused pain and death of the mother as well as the neck of child and choke it to death and has resulted in blood poisoning and death of the mother as well as the coughs, colds and sore throats or weak threats are inherited or contracted directly from the mother, but we do not recommend constitutional disease is very likely to affect the child, and should be avoided as much as possible. And, in any case, you should consult a respiratory tract, your should consult a sician, for the reason that a healthy, sound constitution in the parents speak "Through a Slaughter House to an Open Grave" Worried Over Tom Dixon's "THE LEOPARD'S SPOTS" A Gentleman of Culture WRITES MR. SWEENEY. 354 Tennessee Ave. Detroit, Mich. Feb. 7, 1919. Hon. Allison W. Sweeney, Chicago, Ill. Dear Sir, I want to apologize for intruding on your valuable time with this letter, but as an admirer of your brilliant articles in the Defender, asking your advice on several questions I have just finished reading Tom Dixon's "The Leopard's Spots," and perhaps I am feeling a little result of this story based on several facts?

Has he any evidence for such imputations? Can you give good history of the Reconstruction? The author triumphs over the disfranchisement of the Race in Carolina. Do you think he will see it day after day of this triumph, with disfranchisement in every state completely destroyed, "Jim Crow" and all segregation, this nation guarantee and give every man equal rights and justice? Trusting to have your answer in the Defender, and again apologizing for this, you must respectfully your H. D. WISDOM. Surely a communication entitled to appreciation; that is to say, having faith in the evident sincerity of the writer, even while we muse: "CAN such things be and overcome us like a summer's cloud WITHOUT our special wonder?"
