MORDECAI, PAGE THREE SAT., DEC. 27, 1919 Again Wins r Newsy Contest contests are nurtured with the ideas of stimulating the young minds of our boys and girls to the finer qualities that are hidden there. And the result has not been discouraging, for after perusing the list of names published each week and then seeing, as we do, the interest, enthusiasm and thrift manifested, is indeed gratifying. Many of these news, aside from Jimmy, who already has a fine account in the bank, will have accumulated from their profits enough money to start a small bank account, or be enabled to keep themselves well clothed during their school sessions, and, above all, it has probably taught most of them the habit of saving. They are grateful to those who have assisted them in any way, and only wish for the continued good will of the public and another contest next year. In turn, we are grateful to the persons and firms who so liberally and unselfishly donated to the cause. We trust that the embers which have been set aflame may never die out. The prizes were awarded Christmas eve and were welcome Xmas gifts. To Hold Mass Meeting A mass meeting which will probably be held in St. James' Presbyterian Church, has been arranged for Jan. 16.

It is planned to have the perennial candidates, it will be a powerful enough body to go before the Republican national committee and do collective bargaining for people, every member of the Race should be interested and should-strike to be on hand.

I have found the supply station to be the most lucrative business I have ever had. The ready sales of the ‘Walker preparations surpass anything of its kind ever placed on the market in North Carolina, 1 feel greatly in- debted to the company for allowing me the privilege of maintaining a sup- ply station for so worthy a system. The Walker Preparations receive ap- plause everywhere in our community. All of my customers are delighted with the excellent results derived from tho use of them, When I began this treat- ment my hair was fast falllug and was only sixteen inches long, now it is so heavy that I can hardly fix it up and it is thirty-four inches long und it is also very biack and glossy, all as a result of the Walker System. There are fifty- two active Walker agents in our city: most of them are members of our Walker Union Club. We are trying (9 do some tangible work along charitable lines. All of us feel indebted to the company for the manly, straightfor- ward and business-like way they do business. I am sure that no word we can speak could in any wav express our appreciative feeling toward Attor- ney Ransom, general manager, for al- ways giving nothing less than a square dexl to the agents of the Mme.

PAGE BIX "The Rosary," a thrilling and appropriate play, is the Christmas offering of the Lafayette Players at the Avenue of the Heights. It is presented by the capable cast is all that could be asked for. It is a domestic drama, simple, yet powerful, in story, and it deals with belief and unbelief, the woman believing in the Supreme Being, the man disbelieving. The latter sinks to the bottom of misery and degradation, and as he is about to give up he cries, "Ruin presentation by the capable cast is all that could be asked for. It is a domestic drama, simple, yet powerful, in story, and it deals with belief and unbelief, the woman believing in the Supreme Beling, the man disbelieving. The man has the lowest depths of misery and degradation, and as he looms up to his crises, "Ruln has come to me— I'll end it all. Your God has deserted me." Then a voice cries out to him: "See where the dawn is breaking. At sunrise every soul is born again. Though evil has drawn you close to the mouth of the pit, faith is the only power that can save you." Is the man saved? See the play for the answer; it is well worth your time, and the lesson that it will convey is a deep one. The situations are exciting and the episodes follow each other in a gripping and more than interesting manner. There is a very strong love story running through it and a slight touch of comedy, just enough to relieve the tension of the strong, dramatic situation. Sidney Kirkpatrick as Father Kelly does remarkably well in the part; his stature and voice ring true to the characterization, and it is easily the best of the season. It is a fine piece of acting, and Mr. Kirkpatrick is sure to receive the congratulations of his following. Laura Bowman, as capable an actress as she is, is in the difficult dual role of Vera Wilton and Alico Marsh, twin sisters, and her work is perfect. Babe Townsend also comes for a fourth of credit for her role in the movie, a munty character of Bruce Wilton. Mr. Townsend is the real "sure-fire" member of this aggregation. A. B. Decomuthiere as Wright and clever Lawrence Chennault as Harrow both accept many opportunities, and Thomas Mose- THE STANDARD Philadelphia, Pa. Dec. 28—The bill here this week is right up to the standard that has marked them for some time. It is the most great, and they include, among others, Lovejoy & Thomas, Kliance Hawaiians, Brogdale & Taylor, the Weldons, Ed Kline, McGee's Rantime Steppers and Svalvil Makers in "The Czar of Dixieland." It is one of the strongest line-ups seen here for a long time. The Standard Management and employees wish all members of the profession a Merry Xmas. LULU COATS & CO. Syracuse, N. Y., Dec. 26. -Hurtig & Seamon's Social Maids Co. is closing a half week's engagement at the theater. The final half to be played at the theater will be at Utica. This is the best show seen here this season and it has many features calling for special attention. Aside from the regular line-up this season, the Maids Coats & Crackerjacks are an added attraction and they are repeating on their former great popularity. It is one of the few sensations seen here during the season. The costuming and sensual dancing of the talented group has stopped proceedings at every performance during the engagement. The costuming of the Maids Coats & Crackerjacks seems effects far above the average. The principals are good and the comedy clean and fast. The Maids leave for an extended tour of Eastern Canee, a opening at the Gayet, Montreal, Que, on Monday, December 28. The inner side of every cloud is bright and shining; I therefore turn my clouds about And always wear them inside out To show the lining. ley as the crooked "Skeeters" performs right up to his usual high standard. The part of Lesure Watkins gives Susie Sutton a chance for some type* work and the cast is completed by pretty Alice Gormas, playing the piece of Father Kelly. See this great play, and do not confound it with the military drama, "The Winter Soldier," which was acted here some months ago. THE GRAND Billy King's 40 Incompatibles are playing the final of their two weeks' engagement, here, the offering being "Off." In the absence of Mr. King, the part of "Ready" is being handled by the popular comedian, James "Harris" Higgins as Buster is also making them sit up and take notice, and between them, he is sneezing himself with burnt cork. Billy Higgins as Buster is also making them sit up and take notice, and between them, he is sneezing himself with burnt cork. The story is of a trip that a group of "down home folks" are making to the race track at Saratoga Springs, N. Y., and taking in the trip as a review-as you ever witnessed tales place on board the boat. Many splendid specialties of the Porsen and Ollie Caufield are traced a great deal of attention. The principal characters are well being addressed to by Ernest Whitman, James Stuart, Gary Saunders and Theresa Brooks. Next week, Miller & Lyles Company a domestic drama of great interest. THE MONOGRAM An all-star bill is being presented here this week, and it carries a world of bone-setters. The big novelty is Frankenstein's 1809 bill, a bone-setters as ever yelled over the footlights. Franklin sure has them educated, and the ace went over nicely. The bill is a bit more Smith & Butler are back again and have added several new features since their last visit, and the riot-inspiring again and bumping them on their seats. The McCarrivers, Billy and Sadle, and classy a thing as has been used since they were always favorites here, and the patrons are glad to see them doing famous songs once more. Some bill and music after the final show on Sunday night. "HARRY CAREY" "HARRY CAREY" The original manuscript for the story of "A Gun Fightin' Gentleman" was the most recent release, which will be seen at the Sunday, is probably the most motley array of scribbled and nondescript literature that ever reached the scene of the country-wide war, the himself wrote it while on his recent country-wide tour of personal appearances. It was written on the backs of railway time-tables, restaurant menus, theater programs, telegraph blanks and plain wrapping paper, and on orwarded in job lots back to the studio where he was at that time scenario editor, saw at one Carryo was sending back a real story and this, together with the fact that the star himself was doing the writing, caused Mullin to waive the time-honored rule that all manners were written only on one side of the paper. When Carry returned to Universal City the manuscript was at once put into proper form, with the assistance of Jack Ford, the director, and the referee, who be one of the most perfect Carey pieces, it is well known, play writing is not an experiment with Harry Carey. He made his fame on the speaking stage, appearing in plays from his own pen. Although the star is a New Yorker, indeed, he is known as one of the most popular players of the "western type." "MIRACLE MAN" From the sordid slums of New York's Chinatown to the grandeur of high mountains and the majesty of the setting in "The Miracle Mile," a big Paramount-Artery craft picture, which is coming to the States Theater next Sunday and I Theater next Tuesday. The same expansiveness of vision is reflected in the absorbing story, written by Frank L. Packard, after dramatized by George M. Cohan, adapted with striking success on Broadway. The central feature is a white-haired patrolrider, who lives in the hills near the sea and who has reputed power over the sea. He is a man of great bravery. Burke and his band in their haunt in the New York underworld read of his miracles and conceive the idea of capitalizing them for their own gain. So Burke and his band set out to man lives and frame up a miracle for him. To their surprise they discover that he really possesses the healing powers accredited to him. The keen influence of their new environment, there is worked a transformation in the hearts of the crooks that makes Rose, the gangster's beautiful decoy, and Tom Burke's new enchantment evolves a farm hand out of a dope flend, and finally brings out the better nature of even the hardened, sophisticated Tom Burke himself. In the hills of the New York underworld, Thomas Murkane, Ellinor Furl, Joseph T. Dowling, Betty Compson and others of similar merit, this powerful story becomes a vital, living thing and one of the most spectacular the screen has yet revealed. “ANITA STEWART”; A quaint old English Cockney character is preserved in "Mind the Paint Girl," a First National feature, presenting Anita Stewart and to be shown at the Owl Theater on Sunday. The character is that of Mrs. Upjohn, mother of Lady, the part played by Anita Stewart. She has lived all her life in the tenement districts, where her husband kept a small shop. Suddenly her daughter rises from a chorus girl to fame as a star. She is transplanted from the depths of poverty and ignorance to the realms of wealth, where even the nobility pays homage to her daughter. But she is a sturdy old character, and, although she drops her hrs where they should be and puts them in where they "haint," she is not the slightest embarrassed by the glitter around her, and talks to all on an equal footing. She even yawns in the nobles' faces if she should feel sleepy, which she usually does at the midnight parties. But she is a watchful mother, and chases all the guests unceremoniously away when she thinks her daughter tired out, and will take the part of none of them in the suit for her daughter's hand. NEW DUNBAR The announcement is that the new Dunbar theater, Broad and Lombard streets, Philadelphia, Pa., will open on Tuesday with a vast amount of interest, for letters of inquiry are coming to the Old Roll Top Desk in every mail. Owing to the large number of letters for us to reply to all of these individually, the following will, we hope, be enlightening: the theater is owned and will be operated by the Dunbar Amusement corporation, of which 12 C. Brown is president; Andrew Stevens, treasurer; Chamberlain, the house; Chamberlain, has a seating capacity of 1,600, including the parquet, mezzanine floor, loges and family circle, and will be joined by the artistic staff of Grant Williams, one of the best known men in Philadelphia. In reply to a question as to what had inspired the building of the Dun, Mr. Brown said: "A few years ago, when I was living in the South, I had occasion to visit Philadelphia. Desiring to see a theater on Broad street and purchased a ticket which entitled me to a seat in the orchestra circle. Upon presenting the ticket at the door I was refused and on Broad street and purchased a ticket which had been sold. Disagusted, disheartened and embittered, I determined then and there to build, right on Broad street, a place of amusement where my respectable associations—a place where any respectable person could get what he or she paid for—a thing that legislation in the country should not prevent. So I organized the Dunbar Amusement corporation, capitalized at $500,000, and this beautiful theater is the result. We have already been offered $500,000 for the big amusement syndicates, but there is a sentimental side to the enterprise which the $100,000 possible revenue will be made by an all star cast, headed by Andrew S. Bishop and the Desmond, two of the most famous players among the Lafayette Players. THE DUNBAR AMUSEMENT CORPORATION THE CHICAGO DEFENDER Hattie McIntosh King Dies By Tony Langston Mrs. Hattie McIntosh-King, wife of Billy Kling, died suddenly at her home, 129 South Park avenue, Chicago, at 6 p.m., Wednesday, Dec. 17, and her brother the passing of one of the best knitters in the city, professional members of the Race. For Hattie McIntosh King many years Mrs. King had taken a prominent part in the theatricals and her career started at such a time that it became her "best day," beered as the "best days" and through these connections she developed into an actress of wonderful talents. Fulfillment services were held from the residence. Mrs. King was made a Oakwood cemetery. HER CAREER Hattie McIntosh-King was born and raised in Detroit, Mich., and her parental and business life leaders in the social and business life of the first experience in the show business occurred after her marriage to the faction leader the lato Timo McIntosh, as a memoir by the company of which her husband was part owner; later the team of Tom and Hattie McIntosh was featured with Shawn T.

McIntosh was in vaudeville the McIntheses were featured with the famous all-star aggregation, Isham's Octoorons, which sort that was ever put together and which old timers never fail to mention during "fanning bees." After a career in the impaired Mrs. King played leading roles in the popular "King Rastus" company. TWELVE YEARS WITH W. & W. During these years the deceased had grown to be one of the handsome women on the American stage and her services were sought by many prominent managers and producers, not alone on account of her splendid ability as a musical comedy performer, but for the fact that she stood head and shoulders above all others as an actress and portrayer of character parts. She accepted a splendid offer from the financial backers of Williams & Walker and remained with the company for about twelve years, during which time she played leads in the great productions, "Song of Ham," "In Dalomoy," "Bandana Land," "Abyssinia" and "Mr. Lode of Koal." She was a member of the first Pekin stock company at the Peldin Theater, Chicago, and after serving connections with the Motts enterprise went into Vaudeville, the acting-kings, known as Hattie McIntosh and Peldin. She also played a vaudeville member, the Vaudeville of the team McIntosh & McClain, her partner being Cordella McClain, wife of Billy McClain, the comedian.

It was adapted for the fictional fiction magazine recently and concerns a high-spirited girl who concocted a clever scheme by which to prevent the man for whom she secretly lives in South Africa in search for adventure. Miss Clayton has the role of the heroine, Helen O'Hara. She meets a restless adventurer, and urges him to set down to some useful occupation, telling him there are more thrills to be found in the African wilds. He refuses to believe her, but gives her an opportunity to prove her words. Adventures in rapid-fire action and a picture is said to provide a startling surprise. The Hoxen appears as Miss Clayton's lending man, and others in the cast are Herbert Heys, Hallam Cooley and Peggy Pearce. The picture was a Portrait-Artwork, Vignola and is a Portrait-Artwork. ways open to performers—great and small—and she died as she had lived, her friends and close friends. Her thousands of admirers are sure to sympathize with her grief-striken husband, for he has suffered an irreparable loss; she has been a frequent witness to her frequently told the writer that he had his beautiful wife to thank for his splendid success. "The theatrical prowess of her was a great loss, for women of the Hattie Meltosh-king type are but too few in the 'line-up' and her achievements should be considered a gift for the women show folks of the present and coming generations. "MIND THE PAINT GIRL" "MIND THE PAINT GIRL" Anita Stewart is shown in practically two characters in "Mind the Paint Girl," a first National feature which will be shown at the States Theater on Friday and Saturday. Sugar girl who sweeps out her father's shop and runs gorges and does any handy work to help make ends meet for her parents, who are very poor. As the shop girl, she and her long-lurched calico dresses, with her hair hanging down her back and hats of impossible styles, ignorant and untutured, yet she has a strong heart and battles her way among the roughs of the neighborhood. She wins much in love with her pretty face, and try to steal kisses as chance presents itself. Full of ambition to get out of the school and neighborhood, she wins to the better things of life, she takes the opportunity of her father's death to move. Then she applies for a place on the stage. After much discouragement, she finds a chorus. Then through the accidental spilling of a bucket of paint, she gets an inspiration, and suggests the song, "Mind the Paint," to a composer. She then makes the bit of the song it makes. Then as the famous music hall girl and the world at her feet, she is presented in beautiful gowns of every description, gowns that every woman will want to study to see the liness and the perfection of their artistry.

A Paramount Artcraft Picture Caught! JOHN T. GIBSON Brief Sketch of the Famous Philadelphia Theater Owner The first month of the new year will mark the seventh anniversary of the Standard theater, Philadelphia, Pa. unannounced, known among his friends as "The Little Wizard," and the remarkable success which has been and is his ability. The Standard theater, up until it was taken hold of by Mr. Gibson, was, what is properly called a "dead in the theaterdom had from time to time tried to effect a resurrection. Among these were Klaw and Erlanger, the Married and half a dozen others, but it was of no use; the theater was an "elephant," and that all was there to dark about three-fourths of the time shunned by all men with money and used only for "special purposes," for whatever the owners were glad to collect and society们 were willing to offer. John T. Arrives Along about this time John T. Gibson was scanning the horizon, looking for a spot upon which to spread the intellectual war, which he knew were a part of his make-up; he had often thought that what it required to keep a house like the Standard open he had—for hadn't he kept a sharp check-up on all the failures that he had seen occur in the past eight or ten years—and had not yetలోed or been the place to gain offerings upon the box office receipts? When Mr. Gibson approached the owners regarding the taking over of the lease, those folks winked at each other and figured that they were at last unloading a burden that had worried them long and constantly. The lease was a hidebound one and carried a heavy weight on the lease. The lease was outright at a riddle, though it was a long tale a close up. John, to make a long tale a close doing something that no one had ever done before. He signed up a mixed bill of wide variety and real class, did some tall advertising, employed people who knew how to treat ticket buyers and operated under the rule of the Supervisory, studying the situation from every angle, and taking up a little here and tightening up a little there, gaining first hand knowledge and giving his patrons a run for their money. So when a certain date arrived he was "Johnny" on the spot with the tale that sent the former own ers on their way and which made him out of the place. He found a position of what has made him sound, whose richest men and the richest men and what is today considered the best paying theatrical proposition in the City of Brotherly Love. The Man One would figure from the above that John T. Gibson was a man with a great broad pair of shoulders, square bearded and forcible in manner, with a strong and strong hand that you were shaking hands with a pineapple. Well, that's right where you would be wrong, for Mr. Gibson is one of the most small stature, a perplexed smile adorns his countenance, and the grip of good fellowship is forever ready to hold him no more in contact with him if he was born, raised and educated in dear old Baltimore, Md., is a graduate of Morgan College and has been a resident of Baltimore for many years. He pays taxes on over $500,000 worth of property and has lately bought an elegant brown stone front building at the corner of 12th and 13th streets, will reconstruct, using it as a office building for professional members of the Race. Liberality should be his priority, no charitable appeal ever gets a denial from the son. He employs over a hundred SATURDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1919 "On Trial," which will be seen New Year's week at the Avonau theater, is a punk show. It has more than merely its punk aspect of stage technique to commend it, masmash a succession of grippiness make a tremendously effective revelation of the miloformatic story. The action opens in a courtroom where a man is on trial for murder, and he is accused of a safe containing $10,000. He had paid the money to his victim, and had accidently come into possession of the money, the verge of collapse. He wants to plead guilty and be sentenced. Counsel has been assigned to him, however, and he must necessitate the taking of testimony. The first witness is the murdered man's widow. She appears to give her a handshake and a way in her story when the courtroom is darkened. A few moments later the lights go up, revealing a handsome woman in her old Donald Trask, the murdered man. The audience has just seen in her somber weeds, enters in a handsome evening dress, and falls, returning from a dinner, to the unhappy state of affairs in that home, with the wife justifiably feolous of her unfulfilled husband, and finally a berry of the murdered man's blood in the darkened room and the shooting of Trask by Robert Strickland, when the lights go up. A way to the courtroom ends the first act. In the second act, the same plan is followed. When Strickland's little sister arrives, she changes to the Strickland home and the reasons why Strickland started out to kill Trask are disclosed. Mrs. Strickland disappeared immediately after the tracer was shot. Mrs. Strickland mittened suicide. The third act shows the second day of the trial, when Mrs. Strickland is the star witness, she has a new illness to give her evidence. She lays bare the secret of her life, and tells a story of an occurrence thirteen years before it is presented in another change of scene. Finally there is a realistic scene in the jury room, followed by the grand jury, which is suiling in the acquittal of Strickland to the demonstrative satisfaction of the audience. All this is productive of a new interest, an interest which makes it to see this play-over and over again. ```markdown ``` members of the Race and pays them the salaries that he would be required to pay "opposites," and he holds the admiration; and respect of every indulgence; and respect as well as that of his legion of Friends in elsewhere, both in the profession and out. Mr. Gibson certainly lends truth to the old saying that "Good goods comes in small packages," and here's pulling for his continued success.

The story of the play deals with the social problem, as well as being an expose of the operating plans of a certain class of real estate agents in a town that the high cost of rent's it tells of the town's flat in a respectable building by a "buffet flat lady," through the friendship of a salmon-keeper with a deacon of a church, who was close to an unquestionable agent. The question of "birth" is far as the girl is concerned and the fact that she is a sort of protege of the preacher, played by Mr. Diggs, leads up to the point where she is forced to receive success from the "questioned lady" in the show. How all acts, the confluence of the preacher, who is a liberal-minded man whose interest in politics and the daily walks of life show him to be a real cosmopolitan, but it all comes out right, with the innocent ones being justified, in the end, it is a real play and will be well worth going a long way to see. PROFESSIONAL DEPARTMENT OFFICE SHIPPING DEPARTMENT PRIVATE COMPOSING DEPARTMENT PACE & HANDY Famous "Home of the Blues" Co. Has Great Success The wonderful success of the Pace & Handy Music Co., Inc., of 1457 Broadway, New York City, has attracted a great deal of comment in professional and public circles, and we are proud of the opportunity to publish a cut showing the operation of "The Home of the Blues," as well as to be able to give insight through comprehensive description of who is and what they are doing. In the first place we will have to give the credit for the fact that the firm is located on Broadway in the metropolis to W. C. Hace. He is a man of remarkable foresight and an organizer of fine discernment, a musician, an accomplished composer, some of his "Blues" being among the greatest hits of recent years. Harry H. Pace, president of the firm, is one of the most efficient business men of the Race. He has always had large industrial connections, and it is a fact that he resides in 82,000,000 business to become actively associated with this great music concern. C. E. Handy, vice president, is also business manager, and to his indefatigable efforts the great record made by the company in the past year can be traced. He has been a leader of looking after small details, and he at no time overlooks a chance to further the welfare of his firm. He has the friendship and respect of performers and recognizes the fact that they are in a class by themselves who are popularizing the Face & Handy wares.

LIBERTY LIFE Insurance Company of Illinois NOW BEING ORGANIZED AS A STOCK COMPANY CAPITAL, $100,000.00 STOCK is being sold for $30.00 per share-$5.00 down and $5.00 per month. Two shares, $10.00 down, $10.00 per month, etc. The more stockholders we have, the stronger the company will be, and better for all concerned. A large number of stockholders spells absolute success. INCORPORATED under the laws of the State of Illinois as an Old Line or Legal Reserve Life Insurance Company and is at the present time under state supervision. The condition of the Negro business men in Chicago today should be a warning to every Race-loving Negro in the United States TO GET TOGETHER. Because during the past fifty years those who have lived in Chicago have made MILLIONAIRES among every nationality known to civilization that offered them the least bit of encouragement for their patronage and they have also made a PAUPER of every Negro who dared to enter into competition with these people for our trade. The results of our loyalty to the other fellow find us today without any State Banks, Legal Reserve Life Insurance Companies, Fire Insurance Companies, Wholesale Houses of any kind whatever, Department Stores, Laundries, First Class Hotels and various other business establishments necessary for the upbuilding of a Race. WORLD'S WAR DISCOVERS NEGROES'BEST FRIEND The one fault which has retarded our progress more than all of the others combined has been caused by our permitting the other fellow to plant the seed of DISTRUST among us and so well did he plant the seed that not until the recent war did the Negro realize that his best friend was his own people. No matter what our past grievances have been or what our future understanding may be, when the smoke of Distrust has cleared away and the harsh words spoken have ceased to cause pain, every Negro must be found cemented together "ONE FOR ALL, AND ALL FOR ONE." The LIBERTY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY of ILLINOIS is going to be to the Negroes what the other Life Insurance Companies are to the white race, a medium through which they can obtain cheap money on approved securities. Without an available supply of cheap interest money there is but little hope for our financial development as a Race of people. The success of Standard Life of Atlanta, Ga., and the North Carolina Mutual of Durham, N. C., is sufficient proof that our men are capable of managing large financial institutions. Life Insurance Companies of the United States control more money than all of the National Banks, State Banks and Private Banks combined. AN APPEAL TO EVERY RACE LOVING NECRO More than Fifteen Million loyal Race loving Negroes are interested in the Liberty Life Insurance Company, and the few thousand shares of stock we haveleft cannot last very long, because every day subscriptions are being received from all parts of the country. Every Negro should consider it his indispensable duty to invest at least $30.00 in fostering such a noble undertaking. There is no Promotion Stock in this Company, nor is any stock issued for "Services Rendered." The stockholders are all on an equal standing with each other, all paying the same price, $30.00 per share, for their stock and each having an opportunity to purchase the same number of shares to the end that all may be treated alike and the control of the organization by a few owners prevented. It has been said, "it's the keen-brained man who invests at the start of an enterprise who makes all the money. The stragglers who come in later are the men who help make it." DO NOT BE A STRAGGLER.

Home Office 3515 INDIANA AVENUE CHICAGO, ILLINOIS CONCERNING YOUR HAIR Invention of an Expert Chemist You probably have tried all sorts of remedies on your scalp without getting the desired results, until you have become discouraged and lost confidence in all hair remedies. Thousands of others, like yourself, finally turned to using Scechy's Quinade, and have been so pleased with the result they would never again waste their time or money using anything else. Quinade is not an ordinary pomade; it is highly medicated and is a real scalp food. Quinade stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long, straight hair. It will make coarse, stuncoon hair soft and silky, and easy to put up in the style desired. Quinade will positively allay itching of the scalp, and dandruff, which is the real cause of most hair and scalp troubles. To get best results from the use of Quinade, one should shampoo the scalp every two weeks with Seeby's Quinade oil, make it entirely of pure vegetable oil. Quinade is soft, thick, freely and is a thorough cleanser. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imports a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequaled by any other shampoo. Instant on getting Seeby's Quinade and shampoo it with your own shampoo, their full names. Price is 25c each. If your drugstrict or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them from his wholesaler, for you, or send us the price and we will send you direct.

AT LABOR LYGEUM, MONDAY, DEC. 29TH, 1919 ADMISSION '50C. DANCING BEFORE AND AFTER GAMES. BROOKLYN, N. Y. day for their game with Loendi will have any effect on their speed remains to be seen. In the Spartan line-up will be Hilton Slocum, "the boy wonder," who got his start with Napoleon Bill Madden, Ardenese Dash, Headache Band Capers, Strangler Frank Forbes, Tish, big Babe MacDonald and Hobey Johnson. Coach Charlie Bradford of the machine will depend upon his old reliable. In case any of his first string men should be out of the game he has plenty of other material to depend upon. For instance, in Bill Parker, Brad has an able substitute at center, to Captain "Hal" Jenkins, while Anderson and Scott are gradually rounding into good shape to replace "Fat" Jenkins and George Flal. The game will be well played and to a finish and is sure to be close. According to form, St. C. figures, however, the dope is sometimes upset, and may happen New Year's day. Good sportsmanship provails on both teams, and the loser will have no kick coming. If you have been watching and select the all-star team from the New Palace Bowling League, with the large number of players only, you'd have quite a galaxy of talent, including the official averages which were recently received by the sporting editor. You can enter the gender five, led by Capt. Gordon, to give pins for averages over 160. The Williams pins for averages over past few weeks have been the dread of all contending teams, are still going but are believed by bowling fans to be the worst on their high standing. The De Luxe and Hayes Dentists are holding their hands over the end of the list, while the other team is progressing slow but sure. The match game bowled by Capt. Gordon and Harrison last Tuesday night is still in the grip, and the team watched a more exciting contest. They are still trying to figure out how Harrison missed strikes and simple apaces of the fatter sex are slowly making their appearance or the bowling ability and rather any accesories the lady bowlers. Manager Harrison of the New Palace League is attempt to determine whether it is the winner of a game of a game that is preventing the women's interest in this winter sport. Independents vs. Lincoln Speed Boys Jersey City, N. J. Dec. 26—Last Friday night the basket ball fans witnessed one of the fastest games of the independents met the Lincoln Speed Basketball team, mean it was some fast game. The first half ended with a tie score 12-21 and then the fun started in the second, when the speed baskets sliding along the floor with the ball came up, the team had a notion that the ball could be his all of the time, for when he was not climbing up the neck of one of the players, he was sliding along the floor with the ball. When the team when "Socks" Wallace of the Jerseys really got warmed up there was really something doing. The second half ended with a score 7-53 and the final score 38-44. The team feels good over the victory and will play a return game with the Brooklyn boys at an early date. Lee Johnson Shades Manual New York City, N. Y., Dec 26-Laeon Johnson shaded young Maxwell of Albany, N. Y., in their bout last week in Schenectady armory. The men put up a good fight.

A., Community Basket-ball League, the weight contest between Lincoln and Quinn games played this year. The Lincoln boys started out from the first whistle demonstration that they could outstrip the hourly checking team. When the half time bell sounded they led. 12-8. Quinn came back in the second point of points after Lincoln outscored each team. Then it was a battle royal, each side ranging shots at the baskets from all sides. Quinn scored a game Willem and Blanchet of Lincoln caged two aplece, and this put the game on ice. The final score was 12-8. The game was of the game. He played a strong of defensive and defensive game throughout and was responsible for 8 points. Randall divided honors, each scoring three baskets. The team work of Quinn was better than Lincoln, but points were found and the net when points were needed. St. Marke Win In the light-weight section. St Marks defeated Institutional 20-2. As usual the youngsters from Institutional will have the greatest odds of height and weight. Next year they should have a good team and will bear watch training. Slaughter's Lincoln Colts defeated Raymond Keen's "Neverwaves," a pick-up team, by a narrow margin of 4 points. The game was interesting and fast.

J., Dec. 26—In their last game prior to meeting St. "C" in New York Christmas afternoon, the Vikings hosted the Quaker Reserves, who have held the championship at basketball in Philadelphia for the past three years, and the Quaker Reserves, incidentally their first Crowned opponents of the season, showing a brilliant passing, accurate shooting, and taking them traveling at top form, or in pink conditions for the championship tilt Christmas. Hilton was a revelation to Lee, and in addition to a brilliant defensive game, scored six field goals Howard was tossing them in from dillion while Captain Brown netted the Heine, former veteran of the Southwest "Y," contributed six double-deckers from the 15-foot mark. He was also the star of the Quaker Reserves. Vandals. 1, Lineup. 4, Q. Reserves.

Basket-Ball! East vs. West Atlanta City, N. J., Dec. 26—For the first time in the history of Colored basketball will the East and West meet in a game. This season the Wabash Y. M. C. A. traveled to New York and met the then incorporators under Will Madison, and the incorporators were not the best team in the East but they a representative Colored team. This season the Wabash Y. M. C. A. traveled to New York and the incorporators meeting Pittsburgh's best, also the Harrisburg Olympics, the Collegates of Philadelphia and the Vandals, the organization meets St. Christopher twice this season, and then travels west, playing in Pittsburgh, Indianapolis and Chicago, the results of the Vandals-St. Christopher West, and the Wabash Y. M. C. A. East, will probably decide the championship of this season, and we shall play in the Eastern champs and Western champs. Loendi Title Locked Up Lorenal Lifted Up On a pitch, the Lorenal lifted up. Basketball have the title locked up. On the court there may be another tale to unfoil. Basketball as played in Pittsburg in the past, will undoubtedly keep them in the air. While they are undoubtedly stronger than the Scholastics, the clean sports- manship game played by the latter and their clear standing in the A. A. U. will them in good stand to meet all comers. The Philadelphia Collegiate (a separate aggregation from the Philadelphia State) is in doubt. The fact that they carry Fritz Pollard in their line-up, Pollard playing professional football, automated rankings. Just what action bona fide A. A. U. teams will take in placing this team on their schedule remains to be determined. Pollard will take in all the important games and at the end of the season rank the teams according to games won and at the end of the season rank the games are played.

Bill Madden's Thanksgiving Day Attraction Unsuccessful; Recalls Heyday of His Career SUITABLE HOLIDAY GIFTS THE CHICAGO DEFENDER By William White New York, N. Y., Dec. 26—William Anthony Madden, better known as little "Napoleon," nicknamed some "Napoleon," L. Dougherty, sporting a beard in New York News, is lost to basketball forever, so far as being the prominent factor he was a few years back, when he coasted from coast to coast. His failure to draw like a crowd to Manhattan Casino Thanksgiving afternoon last, when his incorporators, while they won their victory, showed against a team dug up somewhat in Jersey state known as the New Jersey All-Stars, sounded his death years, since Bill has been in disfavor with his life. he was able to draw big on Thanksgiving afternoon at Manhattan; but after this year's performance it is worth noting the proposition as a bad job and solid membership in the down and out club. Big Swing Around Circuit Back in 1917 Bill made one of the biggest swings around the ball in Pittsburgh, Harburg, Chicago, Columbus and Cleveland ever undertaken by a basketball team. Bill won the game, but the game game, which took place on Xmas day, Webash "Y." Mr. Fun, who was at that time sporting editor of the Defender, wrote when the Chicago boys brought to the question because he had a white man playing on his team. At the same time Mr. Fun attacked Dougherty, who was one of terms with Madden. Dougherty in his yours truly, who was just breaking into the game, mistaking me for Mr. Fun. The ending of Mr. Madden's hey day time he was not aware of that fact. It was the handwriting on the wall. Last Drive a Failure The little "Napoleon's" last big drive staged about this time last year, proved the biggest setback of his career, when he was understood at that time, constructing the Alba Physical Cultural Club calling four games, the first which was to be played on New Years night a year ago. Up to that time the three BIG BROOKLYN TEAMS GLASH MONDAY NIGHT Brooklyn, N. Y., Dec. 26.—One of the games that the basketball fans have been waiting for with keen interest is the meeting of the two crack Brooklyn Lightsigns, the Brooklyn A. C., formerly the Carlin Lightning Five, who have been the basketball leaders in Brooklyn for several years. The Charleston collected a bunch of crack players and a team in the big race which they and their followers believe can upset the famous "Lightning Five." The team will have a great record, are silent favorites their local rivals, but the Baronets are confident and cannot be counted. This game will be whistle is blown. This game will be played in Brooklyn now and with the great local rivalry that exists between the teams, the fans are sure to be rewarded. The game is scheduled to be played at Labor Lyceum, December 25. A Letter Worth While Wm. White, Sporting Editor, New York office, Chicago Defender. Dear York office, Chicago Defender, thank you for advertisements to be insert into your paper, the Vandal game for this season, the Sunday 20 and the Spartan game for the season. I am sorry that I cannot favor you with a larger advertisement, but due to the lack of space, the game, it is impossible for me to do so. The write-up for the Brooklyn game, the council was very well satisfied with their thanks. I am preparing some writings but presume it will be published. I will write more able write-ups for your publication. Thanking you for your thoughtfulness, Chauney M. Hooer, editor's note: Thanks, Mr. Hooper. CLARK WILL TRAIN BOB MARTIN Wm. Anthony Madden Big clubs—Alpha, St. Christopher and Spartan—had refused to have any dealings with the Incorporators since the days of the basketball alliance which included two teams in Brooklyn and two in New Jersey. However, the whole affair was a failure, but Madden did create a little excitement in basketball circles. So, natural enough, when basketball time was due for the 1919-1920 season, everybody looked forward to what the little “Napoleon” would spring. His efforts have been so weak that you don’t hear of him any longer. Among the has-beens in his position today, and no one other than Bill himself is responsible for his present predicament. Some say Bill played the game; some say he didn’t. The sporting writer shan’t venture to answer the question, but there is plenty of evidence that something is and was wrong. What is it, Bill? Tribute to Joe Gans You may like the fancy boxers, Who use Freddy Welsh's style; Or you may like iron-javed snuggers, Who can take it with a smile. Boxers like the Phantom Gibbons, Driscoll, Griffo and Attell, Packey, Johnson, Corbett, Dixon, Kept the fight fans in a spell. Ketchel slugged and so did Nelson, John L. Wolgast, Kid Lavigne, Wolcott, Jeffries and Fitzsimmons, Terry, who were Erin's green. But there's one who, like a mountain, Overtops the worst and beat; Though his skin was black as midnight. A white heart beat in his breast. Just what qualities are vital In a real champion's frume? Brains and instinct, science, footwork. Plus the punch and always game. Well, the strong red blood of courage Coursed beneath that inky hide; For he fought with both hands broken. Till old age betrayed his pride. And his footwork awed the public, As he glided to and fro; Swallowed the trapped and lunged like lightning. On his dancing master's too. O, the instinct that inspired him Taught him instantly his cue; When his foe had started thinking. He had thought and done it, too. Then, like Foch, when he was ready, Coolly stepped up to the kill; Felted, lashed the crushing knockout. Either hand would fill the bill. He combined the boxer's science With the slugger's rugged game; And he live when sporting animals Have forgotten others' fame. Hence this tribute from a white man; And we bow, what say you, fans? To a gentleman and scholar— New York, N. Y., Dec. 25. The National Billboard Tourney, which convened at St. Mark's Hall Christmas day, is in full progress. Hundreds of fashions from around the world will be presented attended the afternoon game yesterday. Today (Friday), Maurice Daly (white), the well known billiard expert of Broadway fame, will reference the game. Watch the Defender's issue of January 3 for full details of the tourney.

They must have some business ability to make money, and then in hopes that the mistakes of the man will prove to be value to their future efforts, abolishing the practice of allowing a man to make money, and bury his relatives or him.

The fans do not know the reason the player did not report, many saying he would not pay the money, and the season opens by failure. When the player gets money from him he again jumps. Then the owner writes and subpoena. Don't play. The owner is the owner's biggest fault. They can't realize that when you teach a man to dishonestly they are teaching him to dishonestly they are teaching him to you with. This has brought more hard feelings and re- Organized Effort Our Only Salvation I am going to make the effort, willing to have all the owners in the West to meet the owners in the East, either at college or from York; pick an arbiter, business, and from this agreement draw a working agreement for all of us to be able by the signers to such an agreement. Each player will be allowed to retain the players in partnership in working for the organized good of baseball. Conducted on baseball, the plan is both big leagues and small leagues semi-leagues, the outcome would be the East would be the same as the League, the West as American League, the East to meet the western games in the East to meet the western winners in a real world championship, give the way for such champion teams to winer among the whites. This is more than possible. Only in uniform strength will owners write for information on this proposition. It is open to all. BASKET BALL PRACTICE STARTS Tuskegee Institute, Ala.

FRANKLIN ST., CHICAGO. The men who are entering baseball have not made their zioney in baseball. They must have some business ability to make money, and I am in hopes that the mistakes of the past will prove of great value to their future efforts, abolishing the practice of allowing a man to take care of a man all winter, advance money and bury his relatives for him. When the time comes for the players to report to the various clubs, they will be in the place in the military, the player will accept, as he does not pay the money back advanced to the man, and the publicity that he has all winter given the man. When the season opens he falls to appear. The fans do red know the reason, and they will be in the place in the military, they would not pay the man anything. Here is the owner's biggest fault. When the player gets money from him he again jumps. Then the owner writes and tells you, "Don't play against so and so; he wishes me money." And he says he will be in the place in the military, don't realize that when you teach a man to be dishonest they are teaching him something that he is sure to experiment on you with. This has brought more of the feelings and re-occurrence of the club. It is always a problem for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, than anything else. This kind of revenge has made many players think that the owners were making money, by the big boost in salary, when the owner is in the place in the military, and he has said to me, "How can he pay such and you cannot?" The answer to all of them is easy—they have failed quit, and many owe players. I have never quit, ran a club longer than any other club, but I have no idea how to do it, and I am immune to such ethics, only I sometimes give an eye for an eye, but I wait until I know the dear lamb can no longer strike back. Honest Men Connect With Baseball I do not believe a single man that has been in the game has not had the actions of certain men who made the actions of certain men who made the actions of certain men. Among these wore J. W. Cormier, who as a man I personally admire. He is very ambitious, wanting to be a professional baseball player. He lost to baseball. His only failure has been Anto has not been steered right. Baron and I are personal friends. They mean well. Major Jackson, Anderson and the other players.

BEAUTY HINTS The skin is not simply a covering for the body, but is a marvelous structure, wonderfully adapted for its-purpose, composed of many elements and continually performing a most important part in regulating the heat of the body. First it is well to bear in mind that in reality what we recall the skin consists mainly of the deeper, porous cells of the skin, seven-eighths of its structure, while the epidermis upon which we make our applications is only a comparative skin covering of cells which relatively are less exposed and, moreover, that this epidermal covering is intended for the protection of more delicate structures beneath, and that by its very imperviousness it serves to protect the skin from heat from the body, also from infections. It is well to remember that the outer layers of the epidermis are really dead and have been thrown off in health, being replaced by advancing layers from bacne, which undergo corrhification. Were it not for advancing layers from bacne, which orifice of its glands and the hairs, it is probable that there would be very little absorption, and even less effect while remediating the layers. externally, dermis are practically without life and can be removed without causing sensation, the lower layers, especially the dermal nerve diameters, and, as all know, may be extremely sensitive whenever the outer or scarf skin has been removed, when we neglect our skin the waste mater is not thrown off properly. Hence the beneficial results of massaging, or even if a hand massager is used, even if a hand massager is used, will greatly improve and even remove blackheads, plumps, etc. Hence, we have been reading your column in the Dermal Journal and would like to have some advice. My face is covered with hairs, my skin is dry and I have dark circles around my face. How can I remedy and oblige C. H." Answer: Get a good depliary, using according to directions if impossible to be treated by electrolysis. If you need to treat skin on your face with peroxide and ammonia. For dry skin get a good skin food or ointment—one containing the necessary ingredients, especially one containing carbic acid, 1 to 3 per cent. For dry skin with a good cold cream. All movements must be upward. Repeat daily. Social Meeting at Y. W. C. A Last Thursday evening the regular weekly social was under the direction of Mrs. Vivienne Ward Stokes.

HEATING PROBLEMS Supposing that a tenant had leased a steam heated flat and that flat had been without heat since the first day of winter, and that the temperature of the flat was not that it endangered the health of the tenant; supposing that the cause of the lack of sufficient heat was the fact that the tenant had not cracked during the summer and that the boiler could have been repaired during the summer, and supposing that the tenant has been compelled to keep the flat, the tenant will typically all day in order that he may keep the flat in a livable condition. Under these circumstances is the additional charge to the tenant for the additional charge he incurred for the gas consumed? I think I am safe in saying that if the lease of the tenant provided for the heating system on a day of October and the tenant did not receive it, and was compelled to heat it, the tenant would be entitled to expense, then the tenant would be entitled to recover whatever reasonable expense he has been put to, to supply the heat of sufficient heat for the apartment INFORMATION WANTED I would like to know the whereabouts of my sister, Mary Patterson Billips, called Mary.

ABBOIT PUBLISHING COMPANY (INCORPORATED) SANTA CLAUS INSOLVENT My Pa təl' my Ma' at he wasn't real sure But he had a dog of his own. 'At Santa this Christmas was so dog gone poor, He sol' both his reindeer an sleigh. "An' spooner he did have a whole lot o' toys Lef' over," Pa sed, "frum las' year; Jos how he could gitt 'em to good girls an' boys, I couldn't tell, could you, Ma dear?"

Pa sed, "No one ever found' out; Cause Santa Claus plays a wise game. But I reach him somehow, they isn't a doubt An' your stockin' be illlled jes 'th same." OBSERVING CHRISTMAS TRULY THIS IS A CHANGING WORLD. The habits and customs of the yesterdays have gone with the yesterdays. We live and act and have our being in the present. This is the province of civilization and it is well we do move forward with the tick of the clock. But there are some things that had their inception in the dim and distant past that should ever remain fresh in the memory of man, Christmas is one of them. How many even among those professing to be Christians, know the full significance of Christmas? How many observe the day in the way it was intended to be observed? It is safe to say only a very small per cent of all the Christianized world. THE FAULT LIES not so much at the door of the younger generation as it does at the door of their forefathers, for as the twig is bent so will it grow. To teach by example that Christmas is merely a day to wine, dine and be merry, and to give to relatives and friends gifts—many times in the hopes of receiving others in return—can bring no other result than what we are confronted with today, a holiday for pleasure. THE INJECTION OF SANTA CLAUS, the mythical little old man who made an annual tour distributing free presents to good girls and boys, had much to do with impressing on the young mind the virtue of giving and the association making Santa Claus the spirit of Christ kindled in their breasts a love, respect and reverence for their Maker of life-long duration. The question in the minds of some may be debatable whether it is right to deceive the child into believing Santa is real and in the flesh, or disallusion them by telling them the naked truth. But the question should not be debatable as to whether there is a Divine Being that rules our destiny and if to drive this truth home to the infantile mind it becomes necessary to make up a fairy tale, does not the cause justify the means? WE HAVE EVERY REASON to rejoice and make merry on this day, for with the coming of Christ came the light, darkness vanished and all that would see could see. It has been given to us to spread this light, to bring joy and happiness where suffering and pain prevailed. We are our brother's keeper and as such it is our duty to give our stores to those less fortunate, nor have we the right to a selfish happiness. Only the giver knows the full joys that come from giving. Round about us everywhere are those who need help. If we have been unmindful of their presence let us make reparation by looking them up now and starting this very Yuletide week to help one another, for it has been written, "As ye sow shall we reap." EDUCATING SCHOOL TEACHERS IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GIVE that we do not possess. The school teachers who attempt the training of young minds before their own are fully developed are unquestionably doing more harm than good. It is not generally known that more than half of the teachers in our public schools in the South have an education of less than the equivalent of six elementary grades. The salary received is $22.48 per month. This is on an average of $80.92 for the school year of four months. In sections of the South there are no school facilities at all, while in some parts of Florida the meager school facilities offered are not taken advantage by the children for the reason that the rich who make Florida their winter home afford them many opportunities to make the little money they so badly are in need of. THE SCARITY of competent teachers in the South is due to the low salary paid. No person who has fitted themselves by years of study can afford to make the sacrifice conditions call for. When communities are dead to the things of vital interest, when they are willing to lie dormant and hold themselves aloof from the progressive world, it seems a hopeless task to get them in motion. Philanthropic northerners have maintained seats of learning in the South for over a half century; that is the reason the percentage of literacy is as high as it is in our group. We are informed through the southern press that there is a general awakening of the inhabitants of their section, to the necessity of giving their youth a full measure of education. We earnestly hope this is true, for with education comes culture and refinement and a desire to live and let live. Ignorance begets crime and lawlessness. DESTINY OF THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS WHETHER THE PEOPLE who inhabit the Philippine islands have reached the point in civilization where they are capable of managing their own affairs, setting up their own government and maintaining an independence similar to that required of other groups in this modern age, is a question that has time and again been put up to the United States to solve. The position of this country has always been against territorial expansion beyond that which is required of other countries in case of a war with other powers. And when, through conquest, these islands were protected, protecting wing it was understood that self-determination would be granted soon as it was deemed safe. Where literacy and backwardism largely predominate there is much to be done to bring a people to a state where they can cope with the smallest countries, should the United States at the time draw from the Philippines, those struggling people would have a much harder row to hoe than they do now. While it is true that knocks and buffs mato a nation as well as they make an individual, the intelligent, civilized individual is much more difficult to flow than the unintelligent, half civilized man. Today there are about 500,000 individuals in a more or less stage of savagery, mostly mountain dwellers, afflicted and indulging in head hunting at times. They, however, constitute but a small fraction of the entire population, which is 10,500,000. In any QUE the percentage of literacy there now is 70 per cent it is higher than the average of Romania, higher than most countries whose independence has recently been achieved, associated powers. But the significant fact is, they have given to the world millions or constructive. They stand as a people who have practically vegetated for hundreds of years. The awakening may be at hand. It may be good policy for the Philippines, the awakening may entrust them with greater responsibilities, but a strict account must be attached not from bossy, acitivist, but as an object lesson, a help to self-education. AN EDUCATED NATIVE cleverly attempts to hand the U. S. a body blow, when he speaks of his own people thus: "We need not give instructions in a hundred per cent Philippinism. We need no apostles to preach that kind of a gospel. We are not confronted with the stupendous task of making everyone Philippinism. We have no unarchists in our midst. No bishoplies, No I. W. Wa. A Philippinism, have no unarchists his loves his country, he would fight, bleed and be for her. We might add if this hundred per cent included such trifles as literacy and Christianity the chances for self-determination would also be in the near future 100 per cent more favorable. THE BUSINESS MAN catering to our trade without giving us representation in his place of business is in hard luck. We have learned that our salvation lies in helping one another, and we are right on the job. RACIAL DIFFERENCES HATRED RACE ANTAGONISM CONCUBINAGE MOD RULE Social Maladjustments as They Relate to Our People By W. L. OFFORD The world generally and America particularly is suffering as a result of social maladaptations, which may be caused by the lack of maturity and harmony in the social, industrial, political and economic contacts or relations of and among social groups. To fully comprehend this subject, it is necessary to knowledge of the social sciences. Much harm has been done and social adjustment greatly impeded in this country because the subject has not been given the right to choose, to right and justice, but instead prejudice, class privilege and so called business expediency have been the dominant influences in all attempts to adjust social relations between races and classes. There can be no greater evidence of this lack of knowledge of the social sciences on the part of certain public officials than one of them that the recent race rallies were wholly due to politics, criminal influences and corrupt police practices in the Second ward of our city. And the other is the press throughout the country statements which not only show their ignorance, but smack of that decepted prejudice which seems to be a white man, a white man, a white man, whether he be a public official or a common citizen. Such an attitude can but have the effect of making white men difficult their solution. A little common sense would rescue these officials from such an effort and show them the wisdom of approaching this complex problem by scientifically informed by scientific investigation and analysis, which will enable them to logically reason from cause to effect premises and not get them twisted. The fact is that riots have their source in the maladjustments in the five great and distinct institutions upon which humanity is built, namely, the church, the home, the school, the society in which one lives, and the nation or state. These man-made institutions, which determine our lives, are the most important justification between the races and classes which compose this nation, and consequently many groups and classes of persons are found to be out of harmony with the national order. Lack of Opportunity One of the chief expressions of this inharmony and absence of normality is the lack of opportunity afforded the members of a group or race which results in their failure to develop in those groups. This is the constructive progress. This is the plight of Negroes today and the real cause of the nation-wide unrest among them, which is manifesting itself in riots and other unfortunate occurrences. That men find it hard to change habits of thought and traditionary ideas is shown by the fact that the civilization and democratic convictions, seems hopelessly chained to social anachronisms, believing that his own preservation and supremacy depend on his being called upon the Negro's neck. It has not freed the white man from his race prejudices, has freed the Negro to a large degree from ignorance, has unbled of apologizing for his existence, has freed the Negro development in new ideas has advanced faster than the white man's willingness to give up his old ones. This social improvement among the white man's general discontent with his lot, and he is demanding a square deal and an equal opportunity as that given any other man. England's Case England and other great powers may be able to keep their darker subjects Situation Made Difficult Lack of Opportunity England's Case in ignorance and subjection indefinitely, because they are geographically separated from them, and the subject-ly boundaries, where they can be subjected to a policy of expedency and kept free from any influence other than that which makes them producers of wealth and power, and binds them to America has within her hands dark people whose progenitors were brought to her shores about 300 years ago, and they have survived through successive generations until today they number about 100,000. They come so inter-related and bound together that she cannot adopt and maintain the same policy in dealing with them as England and other nations, and people without seriously impairing her economic, civic and industrial life. Viewed from the standpoint of present-day events, the future of America will be rather stormy and rocky and she will need the unalloyed support of a strong army to white to man her ship, and it is unwise to alienate the loyalty of the Negro by a continuation of a policy of restriction and oppression. It will take more than a brass band and a uniform to the future, as his recent experiences in France and since his return have worked have with his *botism*. When the Negro responded to the nation's war, the war's setting sun would be followed by the dawn of a brighter day for him and his, but he was soon brought to the realization that his hope of the war's setting sun would be fortunately impressed upon him that he now has decided to do some fighting for himself. America would do well to note this change in the Negro's attitude and see her folly in attempting by throwing about him conditions and influences calculated to negative what he has acquired in the way of education and material progress. No nation has ever been more elementary than its weakest link. Prejudice Hampers Progress During all the years since his emancipation the Negro has slowly but pure Must Broaden Policy ly thrown off the dark robe of ignorance and donned the mantle of education, ambition and aggressiveness, and era long, directed by intelligent and competent leadership, will break down the barriers which close the avenues of opportunity and worthy achievement must be open to all men regardless of color if America is to escape the imminent end is now destroying European civilization. If the war just ended has no other thing to justify it, it cannot be denied the need to justify it, it cannot be denied the right to difference littered out of the ruth of difference, a higher plane of appreciation of its social responsibilities, and is putting forth every effort for the consumation of its just and just justices. There can be no real and lasting adjustment in this country, however, unless the just and legitimate amount of effort satisfied. Paramount amount of effort satisfied. enforcement of the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments; unrestricted industrial opportunities with equal pay; equal pay; equal pay; that provided for white children; proper housing and sanitary conditions and the right to live where his station is located; live, live, and protection for his family home, life and limb against mobs, etc. Set Own House Right That the Negro has survived his African trials and hardships can but strengthen our belief that there is a power of negroes to resist the destinies of men and nations.

Signs of Pregnancy There are many signs of pregnancy, but for all intents and purposes they may be divided into two classes: First, the positive signs of pregnancy. Second, the positive signs of pregnancy. The probable signs are those which may be due to other causes and not infallible; but, if they all occur at one and the same time, you may be ready to sure that they forebode pregnancy. The first probable sign is cessation of menstruation. Other causes though may stop menstruation, but if one has always been fairly regular and now misses three periods in succession, it is a strong presumption of pregnancy.
