"Madonna of the Future" The attraction at the Lafayette theater, beginning Monday, Jan. 19, will be the sensational drama entitled "Madonna of the Future." The theme is a woman who craves to become a mother but not a wife. Abbie Mitchell, who takes the leading role, starts out to find a man in her set worthy to be her husband, and soon seems to come up to her expectations. She then broaches the subject to her secretary, who is secretly in love with his employer. He, being horrified at her behavior, only to be rejected, and afterward consents. The couple go away to parts unknown, returning the following year—the woman a mother.

Company takes the position that now as never before America needs unquestioned loyalty and patriotism and that just as Our Boys made glorious the pages of history by their deeds of daring and heroism Over There, we should further brighten its pages by presenting to the world a solid unbroken front of old time Americanism over here; that the Negro should take a lead in this respect, approaching the position first as a man and then as a full fledged American citizen, lifting higher the banner of real Americanism, that the world may know that the highest expression of patriotic Americanism may be found among the Colored Americans. Believing this, Mrs. Lelia Walker Robinson, president of the Madam C. J. Walker Mfg.

"Invisible Foe" at the Avenue; Andrew Tribble a Big Hit at Grand COMING! Direct From Long RUN in the Loop COMING! THE MOST ENTHRALLING PHOTO-DRAMA EVER FILMED "BLIND HUSBANDS" "The invisible Foe." It is the title of the present week's offering at the Avenue theater, and it is one of the A. B. plays a part that one is forgiven a shudder once in a white. The story tells of the death of a wealthy man who leaves behind a beautiful daughter. Two men—brothers—are in love with a woman who is forward young man of fine character. The other is unscrupulous, and means, by fair means or foul, to win the hand of the girl. He raises money to meet debts and to spend in dissipation by ferging a check for a large amount of money, and promises to pay it back. He wins confession to his employer, the girl's father, who dies a little later. After the death of his employer the confession cannot be found. The girl, who has the gift of "communication," hopes that the guilty man will be of the document to her, as the other brother has been falsely accused. The latter joins the army and goes to the front, and the manner in which the guilty man is punished and the true lover is exonerated and brought back to the court. Interesting as it is starting in detail. Pretty Fellyn E's has the part of the young girl and she plays it with all the grace that is hers. The character is a peculiar one and requires real ability, and Miss Ellis does exasperating work with it. Clarence E. Muse is cast as the cook, the woodman, and he is perfect in the part. Muse what might be called a genius of versatility and he can always be depended upon to deliver. As the successful brother, Arthur Simmons does splendidly; he has a mainly hearing that is in the portrayal and by his straightforwardness he shows tails of all. He is truly a good actor. Carlotta Freeman as the husband-hunting Mrs. Hilary, does well, as usual, and lends a bit of comedy to an otherwise cold and exacting set of situations, and as Mrs. Leavitt, the dead man's sister. Clough is more than glad to have bookkeeper, and Rosa Lee Tyer, as the maid, both do well. Probably the most impressive piece of acting in the piece is the portrayal of the part Katharine Bradley, the mall, who dies, it is handled by Jerry Mills, and to his credit be it said that he had them all sitting up and taking notice at Monday night's performance. It is some part and Jerry does some more acting, if you will allow us to put it Oscar Micheaux's Within Our Gates A Story of the Negro 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. that way, Charles Olden also does well with the children of Latham, a friend of the family and the doger of the widow's marital designs. "The Parasite" is the title of this week's show at the Grand theater. As the name would suggest, the story has to do with a certain class of "man" that infests every large city; in fact, that infests the preachment against the tolerance of men in the story tells of the inheritance of $20,000 by a young man. The money was left him by a former employer, for whom he had acted as companion. At the time that the notification of the windmill was made, he made love to a landlady whom he owes for several weeks' rosa and board. A couple of crooked lawyers in Chicago learn of the young man's good luck and they proceed to get busy, in an effort to find him hurt-shelled, however, and as a last resort they elicit as the services of a "lounge lizard," who has a short time ago married an innocent girl of the rural districts on account of her having been driven from home for riding. Refuses to have anything to do with the schmo and is replaced by another woman—a former acquaintance of the "Parasite." Her former lover appears on the scene and makes arrangements to contact with her crooked hubby, who has promised her a "cleaning" when he sees her again. The second girl goes ahead and vamps "Andy," which is the name of the man with the pocketbook, and instead she also changes to guiltless that she also changes to instead falls head over heels in love with the first lover of the other girl. This latter is at the head of a reform committee whose object is to accomplish parasites. It is some story of a capital role is such that the show is scream from beginning to end. Andrew Tribble, one of the best comedians in the show business, is the "lead" and he is a real knockout. He presents the character in a way that sure makes you like it, and if you don't know him, you must be something radically wrong with you. In the scene where he is warming up to the handshake he is a scream and this latter part is well played by Cassie Slaughter, a character worker of the ability. Loon Diggs, as fine, has many excellent moments; he handles them with consummate skill. As the two crooked lawyers, Charles Bruce and Edward Frieder, both really shine; they have a splendid conception of the requirements of the type and get all that is possible out of them. The character, known as Toneka Foe, is also well cast. It is a contemptible character and Twigs gets much out of it. Bessie Tribble, as Carrie, his wife, whose better nature prevails against her husband's efforts to make her go to work, is much better well, as does also Bessie Oliver Foe of Winona, the former sweetheart of the Parasite, Emily Foster more than makes good as Miss Pennington, a community worker, and Rodger Jones, as the jail bird who gets all mixed up in the final act, with the law and other clauses put over during the outside outside the cabaret—a song by Ethel Patron and "some" dance by Julia Reector, who is really a dancing old soul. This play is worth going a long way An all-star bill is on here for the present week and they are packing them in at each and every performance. Purcell & Stevens—Billy and Gus—are here with their Chink offering, and they are living right up to the fine rep that preceded them. It is a show, and the best one I have seen. Tim & Gertie Moor, who are now recognized as a habit at this house, are back again and just as big a shout as ever. Sam Cross, one of the best singles on the time, is also GON'S RES.

Professional care makes the scientist preoccupied and apparently indifferent to his wife's heart happiness. The woman requires a love-bandit to get in his work, an opportunity that Licut, von Steuben of the Austrian army could not consistently overlook. The Hun hounder of women began her life. He nearly broke down the womanly relationship with his woman. Then occurred the strange incident that makes "Blind Husbands" supreme in heart interest. The role of Von Steuben is portrayed by Count Erce von Stroheim, the officer of the Austrian army, who wore directed it and plays the principal role. Beautiful Francella Billington supports the star and a strong cast of Universal players add to the appeal of the production. The players support the star and as Billington are Sam De Grasse, H. Gilbom and Valerie Germannes and Jack Perrin. On unsimpassed awe-inspiring scenery, vigorous dramatic action and the playful uniqueness of the daring play "Blind Husbands," makes its bid for the plaudits of the picture-loving multitudes. It will continue until Saturday night at the States theater. doing his stuff here to the satisfaction of all and Ruby Taylor Girls are as excited as this strutting across the boards at this popular house.

Gilman good judgment in booking the splendid show; for this return engagement. The following clipping is taken from a recent issue of the News-Times. Reading's (Pa.) biggest daily paper, and will give the readers an idea as to how to a show the famous team is heading: "Frank Montgomery and Florence McClain and their troupe of Colored entertainers jazzed things up in a singing and dancing revue at Rajah theater last evening, under the title 'Thule 1919' of a musical oddity with the book, lyrics and musical score by Frank Montgomery, who plays the principal comedy part in the show. "Not since the days of Williams and Walker, Cole and Johnson and the Smart Set Company, have Reading writers witnessed a musical comedy by the actors of jazz and symcoped melodies. "Hello 1619 is a jazz revue, with plenty of comedy, which was divided among the principal comedians. It was presented in two acts and eleven performances, which showed a minister 'First Park' setting and shifted to the stage entrance of a theater, thence to Broadway and finally Speedville Junction. The second act discovered the Capitol, Palm Beach, the Boardwalk, a lobby of one of the venues, and the last scene was 'The Island of Yap'. "Montgomery at the start of the show was seated in the audience.

"WITHIN OUR GATES" "WITHIN OUR GATES" thescenes are laid in the south, where the outrages are most predomil- nate, and the author has not most words in presenting the facts as they really exist. To give you a slight idea around the age, let us publish the following paragraph, taken from the middle part of the scenario: "It was late September in Mississippi; the cotton had been picked, grinned, baled and delivered. There was to be a picnic and night festival, and on the day of early afternoon, Jasper Landry, with a friend, by his daughter, Sylvia, who was "going away to school." went to the plantation offices of Philip Girdlestone, white, to make a settlement. Now, there was a worthless, unlikable fellow named Eph. He was known as a slave, and he was the Girdlestone something that had fanned the flame of hatred in his breast against Landry. Eph, secreted to peep upon the controversy which he had planned, turned away to giggle when a shot rent the air. He whirled—and the cotton, falling to the floor, mortally wounded. Girdlestone over him holding a smoking revolver. So away went Eph with a greater tale than ever to tell. What then happened, you may guess—but not all! people interested in the welfare of the cotton afford to miss seeing this great production, and remember, it TELLS IT ALL. HE'S OUT AGAIN! Armon Davis, the famous single, just can't keep still. Here he is again with one of those poems of his: 'I lay attention to you, the sure must have some cellar. We shoot.' By Amen Davis Hero are the two problems, people, I would like to work for you; Has it caused the greatest troubles That this big, round world has had? Take a toothache, if you have it. And you pour a little on. your skin. So the only fault with whiskey is When you get too much in. Now, well will take the dear old water— Can it do us any harm? Just get your feet wet in the rain And there’s cause for great alarm. You can drink too much of water And you will drive you most insane, And you will people do With water on the brain. Count the lives lost in the ocean When the ships sink in the deep, And the floods that drown so many In the lowlands they sleep. Why drink water with your whiskey? Let it run down plain and stout. Now you feel good fine And with water on your skin. So take my tip good people. When you lonesome, tired and dry, Don't drink water for your troubles; Get some good old mellow rye. CALLERS The Old Roll Top Desk was highly honored by a call from three members of the Harvey's Greater Minstrels last Saturday, when Josio Graham, Beatrice Valentine and Slim Jint Austin looked like ready dough and were all looking is the host season that the great show has had in many years. It played Gary, ind. on Saturday. Floyd & Lemonier are playing throughout the state of Illinois, making good at every stand, according to a card which arrived from Sterling early in the week. "A GOOD BAD WOMAN" "A GOOD BAD WOMAN" a medium is sought through which vital questions pertaining to the betterment of humanity may be so presented as to graphically carry the lesson on the subject, the stage generally becomes the pioneer. And there is a reason for choosing the stage as a pathfinder. Words alone little help in this regard, it requires an enactment of some powerful story treating on the subject that wakes the public up to action. Forceful plays setting facts out boldly have done more to benefit society than any other means of education. "A Good man" deals with the subject uppermost in the minds of the world's greatest thinkers for the preservation and growth of humanity, and for that reason, if for no other, the play should be seen by everybody at the offering at the Avenue theater next week. The play, to bring forth the vital question, "Should a woman avoid motherhood?" deals with marriage in its past, present and future, and the story is carried to ultimate conclusion by three characters one engaged to be married, another already married, and the third divorced. The rights of postery in matrimony are illustrated in the married couple, have not fulfilled their duty by bearing the child, and the childless wife when she discovers that everything she has done to remain youthful in order to hold her husband's love, has merely served to draw her from her. A Good man" is dramatic propaganda against race suicide, in these days when that doctrine is gaining advocates because of the ever-increasing cost of living, and is treated in a frank and open manner. This present interesting play will be seen Evelyn Elits, Carotta Freeman, Clarence Muse, Arthur Simmons, Charles Olden, Inez Clough, Hosa Lee Tyler, Ophelia Mills, Edward Thompson. Children may be admitted to the Avenue theater during the presentation of this play. HARVEY'S MINSTRELS Old Roll Top Desk Man Sees Big Bunch at Gym, Ind. The cold weather didn't make a diff of bitterness when Phil Jones managed of the Dofender and The Old Roll Top Desk Man made up their minds to see what is known as the best show of its kind in the world—Gymnasium Greater Minstrels. They gassed a Barney Old Field to Gym, ind, at which place the famous aggregation was strutting its stuff, and caught all the doings from the red hot street parade to the afterpiece, and the classy enterter's club "big" group more than paid the travelers for the time and trouble of the trip. There is something "different" about a minstrel show: it has a twang to it that you can't find in any other line of music, and they are so few that the successors of the world to draw from in the way of getting real talent. Mr. Harvey is a man who doesn't care anything at all about what an artist might be doing or get-taken to want him, he secures him regardless of his reputation, he has a "stand-out" aggregation that has no equal. In the line-up are such famous names as Billy Nichols, Henry Jines, Irv Richardson, Whitney Viney, Charley Beecham, Johnny Baker, Emmet Moss, Noah Robinson, Walter Robinson, Australian Waites, Leland Goldman, William Merritt, Alonzo Moore and others of the same class, augmented by a galaxy of comedians singing girls of talent and beauty. The big "Minstrel First Part" is a whang. The comedy is of the screening sort, the songs are right up to the minute, the costumes are handsome and the stage setting all that could be expected of the World's Best." The big "Minstrel First Part" is a Bchum & Miss Johnson. In a neat singing, talking and dancing turn that is full of class and distinction; a single by clever Henry Jines that goes over with a bang and in which the little comedian puts over several original songs. Bchum & Miss Johnson Kirk, a show stopped of the most consistent sort; an argumentive ten minutes by Noah Robinson and Whitney Viney, the latter in his famous "Mammy" character; Alonzo Moore with his sleight-of-hand offering; Austin Baldwin with a few seconds than you would find in a whole ordinary vaudille bill; The Australian Wates with their great boomerang and whip-cracking novelty and the celebrated minnie, Billy Nichols, who is billed as a "Whole Show" performer; the afterpiece, in which that sends the ticket buyers out bang and contented. It is some more show, and the company, which is at Circinnati, Ohio, the present week, travels in two swell Pullman chars built specially for the Harvey Show. The performers as well as Harvey himself, the two visions and the latter regretted much that they were unable to stay over and "Jine" in the big turkey feast that was spread for the Saturday dinner. The Smarter Set is a great hit at Peoria. They have a few days' rest after this engagement and will then head over a bunch of consecutive times that will carry them into the dear old summer.

It is said to be a quiet; though powerful denunciation of the man who forlorned his wife, his sweetheart, and dominated her professionally engrossed, leaves her seemingly out of his scheme of life. In "Blind Husbands" Dr. Armstrong, the famous American surgeon, nearly killed his wife in a love-buzzard in the foray to a triumphantianion that whoows upon her the attentions that her husband is too busy to remember.

"WITHIN OUR GATES" SATURDAY, JANUARY 17, 1820. ```markdown ``` EVELYN PREER Born in Peru, III., She Was World's Most Talented Woman Performer Unitown, Pa., Jan. 18—Mmaud Powell, well known through the country as a violinist, died here last week. She suffered a nervous breakdown recently and became so ill that her concert was canceled. In the middle of a concert at St. Louis, Maude Powell was in her fifty-second year and had given thousands of concerts in the United States and once she first attracted attention as a concertist west. She was born in Peru, Il., and at the age of 13 went abroad to study in Leipzig, Paris and Berlin. Before her return to the United States, she represented the royality in England and Russia by command. Her New York debut was made with the New York Philharmonic Society when she was 15 years old. She represented the musical societies of the United States and did much to introduce the work of American composers. She organized the Maud Powell String Quartet, which toured extensively. She was married 1304 to H.G. Godfrey Turner of London. GREAT LESSON "Within Our Gates," the sentential propaganda feature which is now running on a week's engagement at the Vendorno theater, is drawing recordbreaking crowds, and the interested, uninitiated by the audiences shows that the great lessons taught by the spent-did picture, is being properly driven home. Every plan possible was exhausted in the efforts of a certain coerter of "Race leaders" etc., to head off the showing of this production, but without effect. Those in authority at the City Hall were not to be mislead, and as theరిase is the first of the people in Chicago here have a chance to see the greatest protest against injustice and the finest prechment against prejudice that was ever screened. On Monday a committee of the protesters attended the Vendome. Only a few of them had ever seen any part of the "Within Our Gates" show. The news of the had seen it all, after the viewing of the film several of them expressed the opinion that the picture was perfect, in-as-much as the showing up of a certain class of both the white and our Race is done. One of the committees went so far as to state that the whole effect was not more represented to him, and that he felt better for having reviewed the picture. Attend the Vendome any time between now and Sunday night and see "Within Our Gates" for yourself. It is so wonderful that it beggars description. J. H.

This ailment has been prevalent for years, but has not attracted such wide attention at any time in the past as has during the last six months, or after the 16th of January. "Jine Ear" has been steadily gaining upon the doctors and others who have attempted to check its progress, the apex of the rouble has not been expected to reach the 16th of the present month—January. From then on, however, it is predicted that it will be raging in full force, with but little prospect of any relief. It has been a rare, rary relief. A peculiar thing about this latest epidemic is the way in which it has attacked all classes of people: it has not confined itself to the elderly, but at least one-half of the entire population of the country has been inoculated, rich and poor alike. The symptoms of "Jine Ear" make it easily distinguishable, the most common manifestation being the nervous hands with which it is victims shake hands with us, or with each other a common thing to see the same two individuals meet half a dozen or more times during a single day and at each other, or in a way that would make each other in a way that would make one think that had not seen each other for many months.

The "Jine Ear" victims have one peculiarity that makes the disease a distinctive characteristic, and associate with, and you are liable to see a dude with a collar on that is so high that he has to cut holes in it to get his shoes in. He's with a Wop bootback, or a man that looks like a million miloons running around the dark alleys with a Smoke that is so raggedy that he has to carry his shoes from floating away in the air. You will see from this that as a producer or real democracy "Jine Ear" has the late world's war brazen forty There is only one efficient course of treatment that we are willing to recommend—since it has been found that wooden alcohol is a little too tough for the constitution (except the eight-hour new C. & C cure). No doubt you are wondering what in the name of common sense that C. & C. means.

It is in fact, a comprehensive review of the doings of the Race in the theatricals starting "way back yonder" and it brings us from there right down to the presidents of the United States, arranged to cover every sort of line of endeavor from tragedy and drama to the jazzing, howling comedy of the times, and in doing so they will offer a great deal of information about the thing of the sort that was ever before attempted. They have added a great deal of special talent for the production, and it is likely that those who attend the Grand next week will view a treat of theatrical art and interest. Don't miss seeing it.

LIBERTY LIFE Insurance Company of Illinois 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 AWAKENING OF THE NECRO The condition of the Negro business men in Chicago today should be a warning to every Racine-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 follow 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 NECROES'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." LIBERTY LIFE TO OUR RESCUE 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 NEGRO More than Fifteen Million loyal Race loving Negrees are interested in the Liberty Life Insurance Company, and the few thousand shares of stock we have left cannot last very long, because every day subscriptions are being received from all parts of the country. Every, Negre should consider it his indispensable duty to invest at least $30.00 in fostering such a noble undertaking. EVERYBODY TO BE TREATED ALIKE 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. SEND IN YOUR SUBSCRIPTION TODAY. DO IT NOW! NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT. PERSONNEL OF COMPANY BEGETS CONFIDENCE Never before has an investment been submitted to the Negroes of the United States which had a more substantial and reliable body of men who are financially responsible for its future success than those whose names appear below as Directors of this organization. PROVISIONAL DIRECTORS ELECTED BY THE CORPORATORS Without any obligation on my part, will thank you to send me further particulars relative to securing stock in your company. who answered her request.

WABASH Bluitt Stars Ball From Bluitt Stars, Caging the Ball From All Angles --- Last Saturday night Wabash avenue's light and heavy weight teams met Emerson street department in the first game of the season and proved to be too fast for the boys from the mound. The light weight game was by far the most interesting and exciting of the two, although Evanston has been given credit for having one of the fastest light weight teams in and about Chicago. Wabash succeeded in defeating team by 2 points. At the end of the first half the score stood to 10 in favor of Evanston. The Evanston boys came back with a second half, caging two field baskets and one free throw. Wabash succeeded in caging three baskets from the floor, giving them the lead at the end of the game of 2 points. Marton of the Emerson street branch proved to be individual star for Evanston, caging two baskets and one free throw, while Lloyd Hibbard took the lead for the Wabash boys, caging two field baskets. Rivalry in Two Departments Rivalry in Two Departments The rivalry has been so keen between the two departments that it has been the matter to keep roughness out of the game, the light weight game all of the fans were about decided that this feeling was at an end, so fast and clean were the players on each side. The heavy weight game proved to be a disappointment in this respect. It was very clear the beginning, each team seemed to be winning for the other to start action. As a result of one of the first half the score stood 8. 8, with four field baskets for Evanson, two field baskets for Wabash and four free throws. At the beginning BROOKLYN A. C. DEFEATS DUNBAR Orange. N. J., Jan. 16.—The Brooklyn A. C. won a hard and important game when they defeated the crack Dunbar C. C. New Year's night at the Orlando Memory.

C. on their opponent's court establishes the former Carlton team as a strong contender for the leading honors this season. The Brooklyn team was first to contest, and throughout the first period, which ended with bar 9. The second half was a real thriller and produced some sensational basketball by both teams. The Jersey boys fought desperately and by a great rally tied the score. Contree and produced many times from difficult angles. The game was not crack when hard pressed, but came back stronger. Accooe at this juncture brought a shot from the center of the court which was the turning point in the game, as only a few minutes remained to be played. It was notched by a fast ball and the teams played at a whirlwind pace to the end, which found Brooklyn leading. 28-24. The game was attended by one of the largest crowds that ever witnessed a game in Jersey and the fans were given a real basketball ball. It was one of the fastest and best played games of the season.

Jan. 16.—In one of the fastest games seen on the local theater in recent years, the Harrisburg Scholastics defeated the Vandal A. V. of Atlantic City in an extra five minutes, beaten by a record of 10. At the end of the first half the Scholastics led the Vandals by the score of 10 to 6, but during the second half the Vandals played a stearier game and at the regular time the teams were deadlocked, 23 to 13. During the extra period Fields scored one field goal and at the regular time the teams were best the Vandals could do was one foul goal. During the game 'Tabc' Brown dislocated his collarbone and was taken to a local hospital. Fields and W. Taylor starred for the Scholastics; Howard for the Vandals. The line-up: Vandals, Ebner. F.

Moorehead of the Alpha Club finished in the 11th posi- tion. His handicap was three minutes. --- of the second half things began to pick up. Blittyt started, caging the ball from all angles of the floor. Evanston Players Stunned This seemed to get the goat of the Evanston players and they resorted to their old tactics of rough playing and the number of blows were struck by both players and bash players. However, it can be said that two men were responsible for most of the rough work, and these men were in turn taken out of the game. Wabash scored 21 points, while Evanston scored 4, showing the difference in management of both two teams. The much disappointed in the conduct of the players of the two teams and feel that the time is not quite ripe for these two teams to meet in competition, partly due to agitation brought on by the followers of these teams. For the Evanston and Chicago can help the players they will only use the right spirit in rooting for their respective teams. Line-up for Light Weight Game Emerson St. Wabash Ave. Robinson . . . R. F.

BALTIMORE "Y" WINS Baltimore, Md., Jan. 16.—On Saturday night, Jan. 10, the big five of the Baltimore Y. M. C. A. won from the naval gun factory team of Washington, D.C. in a fast, hard game by the 22. The game was hotly contested throughout the playing time and three times the most played be part in what looked to be the beginning of a skirmish. At the toss-up neither team was able to score for about four minutes, when Harris, the captain of the Y basketkeepers, shot a free toss after two unsuccessful attempts before. Quickly following this Butler, the little scorer scored a field goal, which starred the scoring as Harris kept getting loose and for the first half made five baskets and shot three free tosses. Washington, for the visitors, shot three field goals in the first half. That half ended with the score 22 to 10 in favor of the Y. After several unsuccessful attempts at the basket, part of both teams the Y scored again after three minutes of play. This half was more a game of pushing and holding than a game of science. The Gun Factory team has a record of being a hard team and when such a begin to lose there is always a show of teamwork. The game Coach Slade says that he will tolerate any unsportsmanlike manner among the members of the Y team and will pull the man off the floor if he happens again. There was a moment in the game and the players were tuned up to such a pitch that they were ready to fly off at any unnecessary roughness. Underride of the visitors started the game and the decision of the referee he deliberately made naturally, after that the antagonistic feeling was very much in evidence. During this half the Y tossers kept scoring and had the game well in hand. The game ended with the score 46 to 25. SUMNER HIGH DEFEATED Kansas City. Mo. Jan. 16.—On the floor of the Paseo Y. M. C. A. gymnasium the Industrial institute basket ball team defeated the Summer high school of Kansas City, Kan., the last year's champions of the Interstate league. Cruising along, seemingly having stage fright, the Industrial institute basketball ball players awoke at the sound of the whistle at the end of the first half with the score of 12 to 11 them, and when the final half started they suddenly turned defeat into victory, taking the game by a 19 to 18 score. It was in the first few minutes of play in the final period that Owens shot a basket that sent the score which hung in Summer's balance 12 to 11, to 12. A few minutes later Owens made a goal, sending the score to 16 to 14. From this time on Summer was never able to overcome the visitors' lead. McCormick Makes First Point The first point in the game was made by McCormick for Summer after William the industrial institute left forward, and he was scored for traveling. Payne for the institute shot the first held basket, it coming a few seconds after McCormick scored the free throw. In the middle of the first half the Industrial institute led by a 11 to 3 score, but the wonderful shooting of McCormick cut the lead end. Payne played a great game for the Industrial institute; time after time McCormick and Ed Lewis of Summer would attack, only to be thrown back without success. Payne's work was clean and brilliant; he was the sensational evening. For Summer McCormick was the individual star, making all of the 18 points scored by his team.

AUGUST GUENTHER & SON INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTE DEFEATS LINCOLN VisitorsTake Big End of Score in Fast Game; Large Crowd Disappointed Kansas City, Mo. Jan. 16—When Lincoln high school of Kansas City, Mo. went down before the Industrial Institute to the dismal tone of 23 to 11 it came as a complete surprise to everybody, because Lincoln had easily defeated George R. Smith college the night before to the tune of 38 to 18, and the Industrial institute had a heart breaking battle with Summer high school, winning by 1 point. Everybody was there with his brother, expecting to see Lincoln win. The thing that put ginger into the Industrial five was the presence of a large number of students and faculty, in Principal Bridgeforth, who had made a styling trip from Topeka to see the boys win. Lincoln made the first field basket. This seemed to cause every Topeka man to turn into two. Before the crowd realized what had happened Ross Owens, right forward, had caged three clean field goals, making the score 5 to 3 in favor of the infield. This time on they were never headed off. Lincoln made a desperate effort to catch the industrial institute team held their lead and the first half ended with the score 12 to 11 in their favor. Harris and Owens Star In the second the institute's great machine got going smoothly. Harris and Owens got in their pyrotechnics and the score steadily left its prox- quarters at such a rate that it was overcome it. From all Lincoln team to overcome it. From all institute the institute team simply "played" with Lincoln in the first half, finding their weak spots and then striking at them in the final period. In Payne and Burton the Industrial Institute and a wonderful pair of guards who played too fiercely. They were ready to jump from one defensive in a moment. Payne played a brilliant game and was the hardest man on the floor to meet. At center Harris was able to out-jump his man. He covered the floor with him in numbers and was next to Owens in numbers and was scored. Owens and Williams at forward well together. Owens played a great game. He was the sensation of the evening. His work at forward was the best seen on the floor this season. Lincoln made only three field goals in the half and four free throws; in the second half they were able to score only one point, and that a free throw. The line-up of the two teams: Ind. Inst.

Charlie Bell, who bowled as a sub with the Defenders, showed up on the count, as did Llany Bell, who led the team, as possible means are being employed by all in the league to stop the winning streak of the Defender aggregation, but it appears that they are headed in place and nothing in this particular place has been done.

WASHINGTON FREDERICK DOUGLASS PAUL LAWRENCE DUNBAR AND OTHERS PRICE 50c EACH Y. M. C. A. COMMUNITY BASKETBALL LEAGUE Those who turned out to see the games in the Y. M. C. A. Community Basket Ball League last Friday night in the "Y" gym witnessed three fast games featured with some very good fights on them work. The league is demonstration team work. The league and perseverance will do in the making of basket ball teams, clean sport and strong boys. The lightweight team from St. Mary's church is a very typical instance of this. These boys started out with five men who knew very little about the game and whose hopes were not very bright. But in the space they have developed a basket ball machine which will bear watching for the rest of the season. Of course, they cannot win the title, but the boys are seeing the result of hard work and team play. Several times in their game against Lincoln last Friday night they were in a basketball competition work which would do justice to many veteran players. Keep it up, St. Mary; you're doing fine! Grace Swamps Youngsters In the first game Grace lights up the youngsters from Institutional, 53-4, the first game, 30-0. The kids from Institutional deserve great credit for sticking to a game against the greatest odds, but they are always present and always on time. Thomas Brookins, Bradford and at least one responsible for the four points scored. Lincoln and St. Mary's lights hooked up in the second game, which was fast and clean. At half-time Lincoln led, 12-0, and in the second period the lead was maintained by Saints scored three. Leon Hobbes for the Lincoln scored 16 points and was easily the best man on the floor. Doty and Clements starred for the Saints. Only one game was played in the first half, and at least one Grace, the latter leading at half-time, 18-0, at the final whistle, 30-8. Manning Ball and L. Hubbard for the Grace boys did the scoring. Davenport was the point winner for the Grace, the latter leading up for each team, but they made the game very interesting for the spectators. ST. C.-SPARTAN CLASH AGAIN WEDNESDAY EVE. New York, New J.—Well, hero we are again—the big game that thousands saw unwilmed New Year's afternoon at Manhattan Casino-Jesusapart. We had a hard task to follow look forward to each season. The teams are evenly matched in every particular, with the possible exception of past performance, which only to those who are extremely interested in the dope system. Last season the red and black machine came out victorious. Who knows but what the game will be for next Wednesday night? The game will be for blood (within the law) and will be worth going miles to see. The red and black machine's line-up is: H. Jenkins, center; "little Fat" Jenkins and Flial, forwards, and Capers and Robbins, guards. The famous gold and green will have the great Johnson running costs Wallace, Slocum, Forbes and "Headache Band" Capers at their old positions. The generals of these respective cannies are working hard to get their boys in shape and some strenght in recent years. The feature of the team to the wise birds will be to watch the Bradford system versus the Hobey Johnson system. This game should also demonstrate just what the possibilities are for the Loyal Joal game schedule for the 29th at hattun Casino. The red and black, so it is said, received an awfully unfair drubbing in the recent meeting with the Smoky City bunch. However, the big night is next Wednesday he will be playing, the same old music will be on hand, as well as the famous cheering squads of both clubs. Stop!

These owners baited the bailers, telling them it's money that you want, you had better get it while getting is good. He raises the salary, and the player jumps. About one in every hundred pays the money back voluntarily, the players think better salaries should be paid back similarly: "Well, if you played so and so you would have made money to pay more, or pay what you promised." They do not realize that their actions in disrupting another club is the prime factor in getting what they should, as one never knows how long he will have a club.

CHRISTOPHER (Red and Black Machine) Wednesday Evening, January 21st At Manhattan Casino, New York City, 155th St. and Eighth Ave. ADMISSION 50c In my previous articles I have dealt with many things that to my way of thinking have hindered our progress; to all of this there can be no crime, without a reason for such, and in this article I will try and explain what has shown the caller of men who want to break in the limelight as progressive leaders of clubs. A. B. C. Lack of Co-operation a Disgraco In the West we managers of ten disagree, yet we eventually come to an agreement, forgetting the differences where they affect the welfare of the game, cash time before any great wrong is done, that we will co-operate and stand by any agreed on, is a moral certainty, with the assistance of the management. Can you imagine the benefits to be derived from such, to be such a hard task, those familiar with our troubles wonder why we cannot agree. chain is stronger than its weakest before the articles were written and get Nat C. Strong, eastern booking agent, controlling all the available parks, to play in New York; to let a meet together, east and west, form a committee or better working conditions, salaries club to retain its present players. He answered back, he wanted something done, but the men who are at present identified with the eastern clubs are several owners, managers and players they would never do business with again. This disagreement dates back to the existence of Colored clubs; it is deeply rooted; there will be no peace until the men now connected give way to different owners. The players question the not of all the trouble. Managers have given the playing season and taken the main responsibility of other's club; these players oftimes owed the past owner money; naturally this broadened the feelings of the owners. Results they would not play against each other. Even the western clubs did not have the same to eastern clubs, yet they do the same to the western clubs of western clubs. This has got to such a condition that the leading clubs east do not meet, nor will the western clubs meet any of the eastern clubs. If you have taken the leading clubs east with many games, the owners try to take the wrong from you, bring to doubt dissatisfaction between you and your men; so much so, you avoid going there. What Getting Together Would Mean Had the eastern men accepted the proposal, the bitter feelings that exist would have been eliminated, a working agreement respecting each other's right, a chance to see all the clubs meet, the securing of places fit to the situation, but they refused such desiring to light each other.

Are the medicated soaps best? —C. V. M. Answer: It makes very little difference what soap is used if only it is a good one, with not too much alkali, in a hardy hard soap from the best makers. It is not necessarily advertised not a believer in the many medicated soaps put forth by the special houses, as I have direct information that one medicated soap is extensively advertised medicated soaps is not an oral stock stamped medicated. I do not recommend castile soap, as it is a soda soap and not as suitable to the skin, and hard places form under the skin, and hard places form under the skin and then forms a crust. My hair is falling and turning gray at the roots. Any information will be highly appreciated —L. C. Attalla, Ala., mawkerwah, may possibly be some form of eczema.

(Continued From First Page) Life Insurance Company. It is needless to say that he is the first, and most successful insurance company coming from our group, who has ever ventured in this line of business with a substantial previous training in the organization and in the legal reserve insurance company, this most valuable experience should save the company thousands of dollars during their organization as well as years of constant study and a mind well trained by years of contact with the best insurance man of the day. He spent two and a half years as one of the board of directors of the Public Life Insurance Company, the largest life insurance company ever incorporated with an authorized capital of $500,000. Understand Business While engaged in the organization of the Public Life Insurance Company Mr. Gillespie had the opportunity of meeting with the real reason why the majority of the legal reserve companies do not solicit our business. It is quite probable that the prejudicial attitude of these companies must be the determination upon him of organizing a company whereby our people would be able to secure adequate insurance protection for our clients. The nature of the necessity acquired during his two and a half years of daily association with some of the brightest minds in the insurance world has fully equipped him with the necessary equipment the institution will be the medium through which hundreds of our deserving young men and women will be able to secure employment, and thus to a large measure increase the economic impediments by which we are hampered. The communication here appended, coming from an institution which ranks among the most successfulness, testifies to the exceptional ability and rare attainments in this particular line of business of the founder, Mr. Gillespie. Dear Sir, I am pleased to advise you that the organization work of the IN THE GRIP of The Law James Oliver, 3146 LaSalle street, familiarly called "Buster" by his friends, plead guilty of assaulting Josh Browne on July 11, sentenced to one year in the House of Correction and fined $1 by Judge Hugo Pane of the criminal court. The evidence, on June 11, was Watking, in company with Clara Lawson, 4485 Prairie avenue, an actress in Billy King's company, were riding in the car of Ed Blumenthal, 6347 Eberhardt Oliver, who had formerly kept company with Clara. After a heated argument, Oliver was hit over the head on the car of Miss Lowell's home, wounded, running board of the car. A short while after some one shot through the window of Miss Lowell's home, wounded an eye. Oliver was arrested by Sergent Stansk and Smith. He was found guilty of each of the assault charges, the sentences are to run concurrently, and he never strongly protested his innocence, saying that circumstances were too ill for the man, 3146 LaSalle street, Albright Mann, 3146 LaSalle street, Albright Mann, manager of a chain of motion picture theaters, and Mrs. Maggie Barnes, mother of Policeman John Stansk, manager of a chain of motion during the recent riot plot, appeared as character witnesses for Oliver. Sent to Penitentiary John Ross, 3748 Indians avenue, plead guilty of attempted burglary before Judge Anton T. Zeman of the criminal court and was sentenced to two years in prison. Officers Sweeney and Grace (white), 4th police precinct, arrested Ross after he had attempted to break in the store of Abe Pollock, 4500 Calumet avenue. They found a heavy hammer, hammered into Ross's pooper, and Ross spent nineteen months in France as a soldier. He has served a term in Sing Sing.

Zeman of the criminal court, Jake Hulpin of the criminal court, Jake Hulpin of the fruit and vegetable peddler, testified that August 16 last the men had held him up with a gun and robbed him of $50, his watch and ring. His story was told by a defense prover an alibi. They were represented by Attorneys Albert George and Jerry N. Brumfield. Put on Probation Raymond Burt, 17 years old, 1002 Chicago avenue, Evanston, was placed in a psychiatric hospital. He had been found guilty of contributing to the delinquency of Lois White, 18 years old, the murder of a 16-year-old, evidence showed that on April 24 last two, in company with Irene Williams and Leslie Pratt, had ran off from the Chicago and spent the night in a rooming house. The girls then left for Woodstock, Ill. Their whereabouts remained a mystery until May 9 when they were located by Police. Public Life Insurance Company is about completed and we are ready to begin writing life insurance. At this time I am reminded of the splendid, loyal support you gave me during the five years you worked with me, beginning as an agent, working your way up, receiving promotions in competition with other hard workers, following the rule that the most comrades given to your pair of the world words receive these promotions, you were successful in winning the first super-intendency ever given to a member of your Race by an old line legal reserve life insurance company doing industrial and ordinary life insurance business. It is my pleasure at this season of the year to review the work of our fellows. I am sure you will be pleased to know that I regret to lose you as a member of the board of directors and wish you abundant success in your undertaking the responsibility of organizing an old line legal reserve life insurance company doing industrial and ordinary life insurance. If your board of directors will give you the right support, they, too, will be in the same position to finally say as I can, that it was due largely to your honest, loyal support that we have finally succeeded in doing the work we had to do. It was due largely to your untinging efforts that we can say, we are ready for our life's work.

There is a general feeling among the republican voters throughout the state that he has come from his nomination. His standing in public and private life is of the highest; he knows Illinois, perhaps, better than any other man who has not been a member of the congress and has come from him there is little doubt but that he will be the republican nominee. He has maintained silence far is proper for more than one reason. He is a very busy man and at this time his duties at Washington as a member of congress keep him from being involved in this connection we will state that he has charge of the Lowden campaign for President at the National convention and to it every minute that he spare from his congressional activities. As a motto Mr. Smith has adopted William Tyrion Page's American creed, formerly Tyler Page's splendid Americanism: "I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people by the people for the people; from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principals of freedom and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.

PAGE TWELVE SATURDAY. JAN. 17. 1920 STOCK SELLING FAST IN BINGA STATE BANK The determination of the public to support the Binga. State Bank is evidenced by the great demand for stock in the Binga. State Bank's stock blanks have been sought in large numbers and promptly returned, properly filled in, with the number of stockholders. It has been the lots most popular so far.

This being the case a larger number of persons will feel more distressed by the enterprise with all their energy. Not One Man Bank Although the idea of the Binga State Bank was originated by Mr. Binga himself, the institution will be far from its usual affair. The stockholders themselves will be the control of this strong house. It will be the stockholders who will meet and decide definitely the course to be followed. The bank will turn will appoint the officers of the bank. Each stockholder, according to his allotment of stock, will thus have his final say-so in the important issuance and opening and maintenance of the institution. --- Stock Available We have been able to learn that although a large proportion of the stock is held by the bank, certain amount is still available for our readers. We would advise that in making application to Jesse Blinga, the bank, 38th place and State street, that the reader mention the Chicago Defender, thus making payment for the stock, centrally for our readers.

Among several specific cases is that of a certain man who, upon ending their runs, will take what has been handed to them in tip sails, and will send small collars for bills. In doing this they are known to dump all their silver and count it before the very men who are supposed to be "petty larceny", hustlers, and the men themselves in this way allow those above them in position to know exactly who are making from the traveling public. Go Elsowhere While the habit may prevail elsewhere than upon the railroads it is more likely that you must commit. Do you think that any man of the 'o' postie race would lower the tone of his employment by allowing any one to learn to ride on the tracks? But on the other hand, it would be well for the members of the Race who have tips to keep the money in their pockets and go to a bank or some other business place where they will be accommodated without the loss of self-respect that naturally must follow 'o' fashing of the small change that has been handed out to the racegoers to follow this advice as a matter of principle or well as one of Race pride. It surely add to the morale of your team, no matter how menial it may be.

Dickerson, formerly of Memphis, Tennessee, night clerk at the Idewild hotel, had an inspiration that at the death of the late B. F. Moseley he would become the manager. This did not happen.

Childs? For several years Lieut. Wm. F. Childs, a member of the police department of this city, has been pigeon-holed in the bureau of identification at the Harrison street station, and according to information, working under a kind of forbidden law preventing him from wearing his uniform.

A number of police sergeants have been made from time to time, but none of them have been permitted to perform the duties of their office. Men in the police department, who were not born in this country, and some of them whose loyalty and patriotism admit of some question, are permitted to hold office and carry out the functions of their offices, but in the case of these native born and patriotic citizens the contrary obtains.

Fields THE MANY REPUBLICAN possibilities for presidential honors have deserted upon every known subject affecting the election save the subject effective in the minds of be those rights of our people. It is extremely imperative that capital and labor be so adjusted in their relations to each other the proper means of human relations and tranquility. It is extremely essential that the great question of the league of nations be settled in a manner which would properly the survival of the "Monroe Doctrine." THE PROPER POLICIES should be effected whereby foreign disturbers of law and order will be effectively silenced, and who hold ideas immoral to our country branded as traitors. All these things, and more, too, are essential in order that the many mooted questions afflicted by the war of a free country be stamped out. The members of our group, however, held their cars to the ground and listened with bated breath to hear one proponent of a possibility, giving his views as to what his attitude may be concerning the grievous wrongs perpetrated upon our group in certain sections of this country. WE ARE INTERESTED in knowing what position these gentlemen will take on "Southern peonage" or what their attitude may be on the numerator of the war, and in knowing our people carried on in certain parts of the country. Or whether they will, as President, embrace two polites, namely, "Peace in the North" by consenting to "Murder in the South" by silence. We are desirous of knowing and feel that we are entitled to the information of the Governor, Gov. Lowden, Gen. Wood, Senator Harding and Senator Johnson with reference to the reduction of South Carolina's military to the compulsory age of either of them being the successful nominee of the Republican party.

As usual, there was a consideration of number or five of them were in front of the counter signing papers, and behind the counter there was a clerk who was very busy and had a fact that he $ _{0} $ was very busy and had little time to explain details or answer questions. My attention was particularly next to me. The clerk handed him a long form of a lease, and although it was not in need, he pointed out to the man where he was informed him that he would fix up the papers and send him a copy in a few days to my great surprise the man seemed to be in a arrangement and affixed his signature. I realize that it is a very difficult matter to find satisfactory apartments. I know that situations arise sometimes which compete for new finishes as soon as possible. But once what the situation is, no tenant should ever sign any kind of a lease, and also demanding that he receive a true copy of his lease as soon as he is renting. The tenants are so careless and negligent that they will sign leases without understanding that they are signing, they have nobody but them, and if they have trouble with their landlord or agent about some of the procedures, they understand what they are signing in the real estate office, they may have a different matter explained to them in court. Big Race Enterprise Launched Coal company incorporated, $25,000 capital stock; treasurer under bond, J. B. Smith and several other good business men organized the Red Star Coal Company Dec. 12 and began to sell stock. On Jan. 2 the company began to deliver coal, having arranged to get all kinds and grades of coal direct from the mines. The company has three delivery wagons and one large auto truck. It appears that this Race enterprise really means business. We know Major A. E. Patterson, an able lawyer and recently of the judge advocate general's department of the U. S. army, and a few other men connected with this enterprise, that they should make it a success. The treasurer is under bond and we are informed that a number of the most prominent citizens of Chicago are financially interested in this company. Their yards are at 4205-7-0 State Street, and general offices at 129 E. S. 1st street. If you need coal give them your order. Phone Blvd. 3604. May other Race corporations emulate the example of this company.

While some are just as good, perhaps at those times used to know, of all kinds of people they are sure they 'n't. It's hard for us old-timers who came up 'th' honest way. To get accustomed to the shams they're pulling off today. This whole new generation merely in veneer is dressed. That's why I like the by-gone days 'n' old-time friends the best. POPULAR SENTIMENT UNDER OUR FORM OF GOVERNMENT popular sentiment is more potential than statute laws and written constitutions. Whatever is popular in any particular locality constitutes the rule of action in that locality. Whenever and wherever members of our group are subjected to wrongs and injustices it is due to the fact that such methods are countenanced by popular sentiment. Fortunately for our group we have justifiable grounds of complaint only in the extreme southern part of the country. This we believe is temporary and will in course of time be changed. IN THIS CONNECTION it is pleasing to refer to our own city of Chicago as one of the most liberal, progressive and fair-minded localities in the country. Even during Ante-Bellum days when the question of the extension of slave territory was being agitated, popular sentiment in Chicago, regardless of party differences, could always be relied upon to support the cause of freedom and human rights. When the Republican party came forward and boldly opposed the extension of the slave power, it drew into its ranks on that issue such able and influential Democrats as Lyman Trumball, John M. Palmer, John A. Logan and thousands of others. WHAT WAS TRUE of Chicago then is equally true now. There is no city upon the American continent in which popular sentiment is more strongly in favor of equality, justice and fair play for members of our group. Like all other cosmopolitan cities it has its share of thugs and criminals and a small number of members of the white race who are otherwise good citizens, but who are imbued with racial antipathy. In spite of the noise and occasional demonstrations on the part of this "undesirable" element, they do not reflect the dominant sentiment. As evidence of the accuracy of this statement we have a number of ocular demonstrations. Among them is the willingness on the part of our white fellow citizens—with few exceptions—to encourage us in the acquisition of property. IN SOME OTHER CITIES we are confined to alleys and slums for residential purposes because we cannot purchase homes in desirable localities. This is not true of Chicago. Popular sentiment recognizes the fact that property owning tends to make better citizens, hence we find that some of the most desirable property is owned and occupied and kept in good and sanitary condition by members of our group. The public would doubtless be surprised, if the fact were known, that many of the fine three and six flat buildings—especially in what is called the Hyde Park and Kenwood district—are owned by us and rented to whites; even the tenants seldom know by whom, the building they occupy is owned, since they deal with agents. THE COLORED OWNERS, being devoid of racial antipathy, do not object to white tenants. These purchases are made simply as investments. It is not a matter of sentiment but business. The white man's dollar is just as acceptable as the Colored man's dollar. These property owners are not confined to citizens of Chicago. Real estate values in Chicago are so attractive that large investments are daily being made. This contributes materially to the prosperity of the city and gives us a standing that we could by no other means acquire. Statistics will show that the same thing is true in nearly all of the important centers of the country. It demonstrates the wisdom and acuteness of members of our group. WHILE IN SOME INSTANCES we cannot always make cash purchases, existing conditions are such that no loss of property will result on account of deferred payments. Another hopeful and favorable indication of the existence of a friendly popular sentiment is the expanding field of employment that is being opened to us. Employers everywhere are beginning to realize and acknowledge that as producers we cannot be excelled. Hence our employment now in large numbers in industrial occupations closed against us in the past. What the employer now wants is efficient and satisfactory service; and if we meet that requirement we are employed. A FEW EMPLOYERS still draw the color line, but they are the exceptions and not the rule. There are also a few whose systems are so thoroughly saturated with the poisonous virus of Race prejudice that they insist upon attempting to close the door of hope and opportunity against us. If there is such a thing as "undesirables" these people can well be thrown in that class. As a rule they represent nothing, stand for nothing and own nothing. They are mere floaters drifting from place to place, living and subsisting by the tolerance of those who represent intelligence, decency and respectability.

A HUMAN CRAVING which has been crystalized into a habit by long usage is not going to disappear at command of a law, even though the mandate has the weight and prestige of the Federal Constitution, and to satisfy this craving for strong drink the weak, in their search for a substitute hit upon wood alcohol, with the result that hundreds of deaths have followed. This craving has become the authorities are contemplating some sort of legislation to regulate the purchase and sale. In this way only can the ignorant be protected and the unrestricted possession PERMANENT PROHIBITION is effective from the 16th of this month and the chances of letting down the bars for even two and three-quarters per cent beer seem very slim, so the inhibition of the manufacture and sale of hard liquors, wine and beer has stimulated the ingenuity of men in their search for beers as well as for apparatus to enable them to evade the law. Pity it is that the authorities treat them they will when deprived of their favorite beverage, accept substitution in many instances the desperate chances they are taking with their very lives. WHILE THE SUBJECT is too serious to joke about, still a moral may be drawn from the following facetious writer's explanation of how to distinguish wood alcohol from the real stuff. "When you go to your favorite resort for a nap on the sly take a guinea pig with you. Before imbibing give a dose to the animal. If the guinea pig turns up its itses and passes away don't touch the drink you take. The guinea pig prances around cheerfully the beverage is all right. The old mushroom is applied to it seems. Eat one—if you die its a toadstool; if you live its a mushroom, the absence of the guinea pig you can tell wood alcohol by merely trying it. If you live the drink is all right. This method has its good points in that it is more humane; gives the pig a show." AMERICANISM D. COPEL," said Justice Orrin N.

Keep Yourself Physically at Your Very Best The intelligent machinist becomes minutely acquainted with the minutest and most intricate mechanism of his machine in order that he may be able to know when his machine is working correctly, or when it is working abnormally. When it is much friction or danger impending. When an intelligent machinist notes a squeezing or a rattling noise in any part of the machine and does not take speed up; he does not take long drives, as so many foolish people do, for the purpose of overcoming this squeezing, rattling or evidence of fretting, intelligent and knowing his machine, in order to immediately and make a careful investigation of his trouble; and should not be able to discover the cause of the squeezing, rattling or evidence of fretting, intelligent and knowing his machine, mechanic and have his machine carefully gone over—yes, each and every part of it—to find out what is the trouble. The intelligent machinist should use the same communication in dealing with the human machine. If you would study your machine—if you would become absolutely acquainted with the same communication in dealing with the human machine, or so-called squeezing, rattling, friction or abnormal functioning of any of your organs of the human machine, if you would be able to detect that all is not well, do as the inventor calls, with his $10,000 locomotive—and yet neither one of the machines mentioned is as useful as the mechanism or as valuable to human body as one well-balanced, properly functioning human machine (your body). When you discover that there is damage (resting) of the human machine, with the functioning of your human machine, slow down and stop and have a careful examination made. The stopping (resting) of the human machine is of valuable purposes. First, in preventing damage to the machine, and second, it will enable the machinist—"NATURE" and the "PHYSICIAN"—to get at the damage (disease) because it will think an intelligent motorist, locomotive engineer or any other machinist would think of pushing ahead—speed of the disease (disease) because it will think an intelligent motorist, unless he was compelled to make a life and death run in order.

A Few Examples You know that kidney disease, or what is known as chronic Bright's disease, is often brought about by exasperation, prolapse, or disasexuality in a very special case, autoacidic drinking of alcoholics. Kidney disease is a very insidious disease and the only way for any human being to know accurately the proper function of your kidneys is by both a chemical and a microscopical examination of the urine. How many of you make it a practice once in three months or once in six months to measure your urine, vessel, and take a morning specimen of it to your physician or the health department laboratory and ask for a complete analysis of your urine? Kidney disease with a backache, as a great many railroad men and other people think. If you have kidney disease do not get into the foolish habit of wearing kidneys, do not take kidney pills, Harrington's or sensical patent kidney remedies, but have your urine examined, your blood pressure taken—for if you have any kidney disease you will have a high blood pressure, you will have amines you should advise you; and then you will know how to take care of yourself, as this information will indicate to you the necessity of shutting the speedometer should not register high, once you are aware that you have high blood pressure or Bright's disease. Cut down speed, avoid excessive drinking, avoid leading and paint contamination, and, above all, BE CAREFUL ABOUT MANDIZING, WHICH IS ONE OF THE MOST FREQUENT CAUSES OF BRIGHT'S DISEASE. DO NOT AMFOR TOLERABLE HEALTH, BUT FOR SUPER HEALTH; and resolve now and forever to carefully, conscientiously to observe and they all the physi conditions that will KEEP YOU PHYSICALLY AT YOUR VERY BEST. THE EDITOR'S MAIL BOX Editor of the Chicago Defender—Dear Sir: The brief you made, in the last issue, on behalf of "Micheaux's photo play," now running at the Vendome, needed not a word added or omitted. The startling revelations now slowly coming to light that white men are the only ones in which men of our group are condemned to die, are indeed fittingly coincident with the present run of the Micheaux picture, which aims to expose just that of double dealing all over the South. I saw "Within Our Gates" Monday afternoon. Deleted as it is, it still constitutes a favorable argument against southern mobocracy, penage and concubing. The picture is a quivering tongue of fire, the burn of which will be felt in the far distant years. Even if it were shown in its original cast, it would only mildly portray southern treachery, and villainy. The spirit of "Within Our Gates" is the spirit of Douglas, Nat Turner, Scarborough and Du Bois, rolled into one, but telling the story of the wrongs of our people better than Douglas did in his speeches, more dramatically transcendant than Du Bois in his soul of black folks. Had "Within Our Gates" been entirely barred, then should the press and pulpit of our group forever remain silent on oppression and injustice? "The Birth of a Nation" was written by oppressors, to show that the oppressed were a burden and a drawback to the nation, that they had no real grievance, but on the other hand they were as roving lions seeking whom they might devour. "Within Our Gates" is written by the oppressed and shows in a mild way the degree and kind of his oppression. That he is an asset to the nation in all phases of national life, aspiration and development. Nothing like it since "Uncle Tom's Cabin" respectively yours, WILLIS N. HUGGINS.
