FORGOT Two Milli AMERICANISM OTTEL illion to ISM IS E Two Million to Unite in One Church AMERICANISM IS ENDORSED BY LINCOLN LEAGUE Safety of Lincoln Bank Is Assured Depositors Make Mistake in Drawing Out Funds Through an unscrupulous statement, made by an irresponsible weekly publication, to the effect that the Lincoln State Bank, 31st and State streets, had been discourteous to a certain alleged depositor of the institution, who, upon investigation, was found to not have even as much as a dollar deposited in the bank, caused a run on the bank beginning Monday morning, continuing for three days. Fortunately for the Lincoln State Bank, it was amply able to meet the requirements of every depositor who desired to close his account.

KING OF BUSINESS INTERests This mission for several years has been the basis of our interests in this entire community. These facts are borne out by a recent statement issued by the bank, in which thousands of dollars have been borrowed by members of our group property and business investments. Among the debtors out by the bank is shown that some of substantial business men owe their success largely to their ability to secure loans from the Lincoln State Bank. It is rumored on good authority that those who are responsible for the debtors are involved through the machinations of the Hyde Park Protective Association to kill the influence of this institution because of its friendly attitude to our people. Criminal Conspiracy No banking institution in the city of Chicago has been as easy or access for the securing of large and small loans to members of our group as has been the case with others before, nothing less than a criminal conspiracy on the part of those propagating the libelous statement that this institution was discriminating against our people or that its financial standing was questionable. In talking with the police, we learned that a neat daymorning he said: "We are prepared to pay every depository as fast as they come in, who desires to withdraw his funds. It is rogretted that such an infamous statement could be circulated concerning an institution which stands on a firm financial basis." Immediately after the run began on the bank piketpockets got busy and freely circulated to and fro among those who were withdrawing their savings, and several losses, ranging from as high as $400 were reported to the polls after the apprehension of the story were in cahoots with the violators of the law. The business men of the community are showing their faith and confidence in the institution by continuing their deposits and advising others to do Business Man Indore Bank Prominent business man of the community, such as Goo, Holn, Wm. Adams, Editor R. S. Abbott, Daniel M. Jackson, Ald. Louis B.

The directors of the bank, in their statement said: "The Lincoln State Bank assets total: $2,239,350.11 Liberty bonds $11,400, kith money invested in other banks." False Rumor Circulated Those who are responsible for the attempt to wreck this bank circulated to the polls the member of the Hyde Park Protective Association. Mr. Lylbrant branded this statement as an insidious, contemptible lie, born of the brain behind there is no conscience. On the ground that the institution had been taking up mortgages and making safe investments that were being threatened with ruin through the Hyde Park propaganda. LOVE CAUSES SUICIDE ... Topeka, Kan.

It is known, however, that a light shaft in which a number of persons had been in the habit of throwing paper, and it was at first supposed that a lighted cigarette, carelessly dropped here, ignited the trash. See Flames in Shaft Further information was obtained later from Thomas Terrell, a commercial artist, who lived on the first floor. According to Mr. Terrell's statement, he was aroused by a neighbor across the hall, and, looking to the light shaft, saw flames at the top of the building inside of the shaft. This leads to the thinking of a defector the cause, instead of the cigarette theory. The statement is borne out by the fact that, while the first floor was damaged only by water, the second water and slightly by fire, the third and fourth floors were practically gutted—the fourth floor was of all. Every time a fire occurred, the was not taken out by the occupants was destroyed. Several families returned home from work a few hours later, only to find that they had no place to stay.

So far no white man has been arrested. VERY LATEST BULLI (Cable to the Chicago Defender) Cristobal, Canal Zone, Panama, Feb. 20.

This man put up a ladder and found Ruby Lee on the floor where she had fallen from the couch. They took her to the hospital to revive her, but it was too late; she had suffocated. Another baby on the same floor also escaped a similar rate. The first occupants were 8 o'clock, when several pedestrians noticed volumes of smoke pouring from the top of the building. At their cries the occupants fled from the structure, scantily clad and with few belongings they could gather. An alarm department, but by the time they arrived the flames, assisted by a heavy wind, had gained such headway that it was impossible to save the bulldog. Terrell Acts Fireman Considerable criticism has been directed toward the fire department because of its tardy arrival and the apparent indifference with which it handled the fire. Although there is a station directly opposite the Francis apartments, which was notified of the conflagration, it was at least one-half hour before a wagon arrived on the scene to take charge of the situation, and the handful of men had to be assisted by the firefighters. Mr. Terrail, who in his bare feet helped to drag a hose to an advantageous position, stated that had firemen come when first notified the damage, which is now, estimated at seven and a half dollars, would not be half as great. Because of the storm there was some danger of the flames being communicated to other buildings. This, however, was averted, and, although the nurses of the Lakeside Hospital, which were mobilized for an emergency, they were not needed and none of the patients was disturbed.

Then he broke through a skylight and with two sheets let him down to freedom. Officials of the institution do not consider him dangerous.

Wall Street Can't Handle Shares That the shares of the African Cooperative Corporation, Ltd., of London, Eng., now being placed on sale at $3.50 per share through the company's American representative, S. D. Roberts, rooms 208 and 209, 203 Broadway, New York city, are valuable, was amply bought by the company, and the street concern offered to take over the entire output of the company. This, however, Roberts refused to do, preferring to first give members of our Race a chance to share in the development of Africa—a country which has been the most developed in. Although the directors of the African Corporation in London are members of both races, Roberts' primary purpose in this country is to interest our people in the company, what it is doing, and what it proposes to do. To allow what Wall street men to gobble up the shares, the company poses entirely, hence the refusal to let the shares get away from our people. The company is capitalized at $15,000,000 and already has many manufacturing plants in operation on the African West Coast. They intend to bring to the company the shares of this country to help in the company's development of the dark continent. Y. W. C. A.

CHICAGO DEFENDER WHEATON DOES NOT FAVOR CONGRESSMAN the Race could fill afford to lose, since a course of this kind would be so inconsistent to the things which the Race is struggling for. When the reporter asked the assistant district attorney if he thought Race loyalty or favor like that would prompt our Democrats to support Race, our kind, if nominated, Mr. Wheaton, even more emphatically than first, replied: "No." He went on to explain that the present representative from this district, Jerome F. Donavan (white), to his mind, an ideal candidate, was to work with and deserving of re-election. Wheaton said Donavan had always given an ear to the wants-of his constituents, especially 'those of our Race, Republicans and Democrats alike, and that he saw no reason to, and certainly would not, support some one else in preferring to vote for Wheaton saw little success and small gains in the agitation to elect a Race congressman in the 21st congressional district.

WALKER'S SYSTEM and gradually increase its abundance and lustre until your friends will begin to ENVY YOU. TRY ONE TREATMENT AND YOU WILL REPEAT, AS HUNDREDS HAVE FOR FOURTEEN YEARS PAGE FOUR ```markdown ``` SHORT time ago the Mme. C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company opened a Beauty Parlor in Indianapolis. The location was convenient to two car lines, to say nothing of other advantages. For several weeks the services of a beauty expert were devoted entirely to the selection of necessary equin A ment and ornamental furnishings that would make this the most handsomely equipped beauty shop in Indianapolis. The opening day came, and hundreds of white and colored citizens viewed this beginning with surprise and admiration. Every convenience both for customer and worker had been anticipated; there was much to provide pleasant and restful diversion for the patrons while being served or while waiting their turn. The interior decorations were everything that decorative art could devise for this particular business field, while the hangings and other furnishings blended into one grand "beauty ensemble." But the story is not about this particular beauty parlor, only as reference to it serves to emphasize the point that there is a great need for new and higher standards along all lines of business operated by Americans of color, to the end that they will be more attractive and will better meet the demands of a more enlightened patronage, looking always to greater success. Those who have been interested even casually in the business concerns of the Mme. C. J. Walker Co. observe at a glance that caution is exercised in every instance to the extent that each is worthy to be taken as a business standard for the Race. Now more than ever before those who are loyal to Colored business are demanding that the place of business shall be kept up to the standard maintained by like concerns operated by members of other races, and surely patrons have a perfect right to expect this consideration. Again referring to the beauty parlor above mentioned, it is readily seen how essential it is that a "beauty parlor" should in itself be beautiful. The beauty parlor has come to stay, so long as woman shall remain womanly, and, true to her natural instincts, strive to make more beautiful and to retain whatever graces nature has bestowed upon her. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER Business St It was the plan of the late Mme. C. J. Walker to establish beauty parlors in many of the large cities that would be her ideal of the kind of parlors she would like every C. J. Walker agent in the world to maintain. In other words, she desired to set new standards for the hundreds of beauty parlors that are springing into existence each month. It was her thought that in themselves the beauty parlors should embody the things that would perpetuate or make more real the abstract ideas of beauty and grace, and though she did not live to see the work carried out, it will go on as she planned it. All this is not to say that the Race is wanting in pride more than other races, but it is to say that it wants newer and higher standards to meet the newer and larger pride that swells the bosoms of all Americans of color as they behold their own handiworks. The parlor in question is on a car line that serves largely a white community of substantial working people; just the class that needs to know and appreciate that the Colored people, too, are rising! And it is a source of pride to Colored citizens to know that this wonderful and attractive business concern represents them and wins for them the higher respect of those who behold it. It is only another real evidence that the Colored Race, like other races, has longings, aspirations and high aims, to which it is gradually giving expression. The time has indeed arrived when higher standards must be maintained for Colored business concerns generally, for the co-operation that the Race is beginning to show is being watched with jealous eyes, and efforts are going to be made in the future to lure the unsuspecting and unwary, by incorporating every attraction. It is not enough to own an insanitary grocery, an unsightly dental parlor or barber shop, and expect or demand the patronage of the Race simply because the owner's skin is dark. There are numerous examples of business concerns so poorly kept that respectable patrons could not be seated in them. Suffice it to say that Colored patrons of the awakened type are not going to stand around in offices and public places begging standing room of the dirt and rubbish, and the sooner the business leaders of the Race come to realize this fact seriously the better it will be for all Colored business. --- FOR TERMS TO NEW AGENTS, WRITE And this is not to say, either, that there are not thousands of notable exceptions, for there are large numbers. This is only a warning note to tell the careless that the curtain has rung down on sloth and general laziness in business, and to admonish those on the threshold of a business career that the new and higher standard has arrived. Then again, how often we hear the age-old phrase, "Nothing succeeds like success." A study of the psychology of the client, the shopper, the patient, or even the devotee of the beauty parlor, will show at once that those concerns which "seem" to need it least are the ones that enjoy the largest patronage. It would be very convenient to have money spent with those who need it most, but it does not work that way. To invest in modern business equipment, even at a personal sacrifice, is in most instances a real investment. The world is not apt to spend its money with you simply because you appear to need it; rather is the business world a strange exemplification of the old Biblical saying, "To him that hath shall be given, but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he seemeth to have." The lesson is, "Don't be a grouch in business. Make an appearance that will demand and command respect." Although the Indianapolis parlor in question was intended to serve largely as a standard, as has been said, its financial success already is another story. Not only has it a wonderful Colored patronge, but the white people as well have taken advantage of this enterprise, demonstrating again that there is no "color line" in business when you have what the public wants. In this forward-looking age, and just when the Colored people seem so nearly in reach of much that they have been worthy of for, lo! these many years, let them arise to the demands of business managed in a business way. Let the C. J. Walker Company and others continue to make each business "bigger than the last," let each be a beacon light that will brighten the way down through the years for the generations yet unborn, whose serious task it is going to be to measure arms with the Anglo-Saxon in his last stand in defense of his right to be the torch-bearer and leader of civilization.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1920 ```markdown ``` THE CHICAGO DEFENDER r Skin N Diffe Kind Diffe DO you respect the individuality of your own skin? So many people forget that their skins have as much character, as much temperament, as they have themselves. YOUR skin is not a piece of fabric, that can always be cared for in the same way. It is a living thing which has different needs at different times. IN cold weather, for example, your complexion is quite unlike its usual self. The exquisite satin texture which it has in the summer, in winter is often lost. It is the irritating action of the cold, combined with the withering effect of dry furnace heat that robs it of its oil and makes it harsh and dry. IN winter you must give your skin a special kind of care to counteract these influences. Before you go out, rub a tiny bit of Mme. Walker's Vanishing Cream into your skin. It disappears instantly, leaving your face soft and smooth. There is no oil in Mme. Walker's Vanishing Cream, so if never reappears in a wretched, greasy shine—it gives your skin the protection it needs from chapping and roughening. THEN about powdering—just because when the weather is warm and your skin is moist you can get the powder to go on smoothly and stick on for a while, do not expect it to stay on in winter without POWDER BASE. Your skin offers a very different surface to the powder then. BEFORE you powder, rub a tiny bit of Mme. Walker's Vanishing Cream into your face. Instantly it will disappear, leaving the skin softened. Now see how smoothly Mme. Walker's Superfine Powder goes on, how natural it looks. It will stay on two or three times as long as ever before. Because it is without oil, Mme. Walker's Vanishing Cream can never reappear in a shine. HAVE you ever stared in the glass and wondered miserably what gave your skin that dull, lifeless look? VERY, very often a dull skin is only one that is improperly cleansed. be a revelation to your skin care ME. C. J. Cleansing Creation Vanishing Witch H and Superfine ade Good "TRUTH SPREAD" C. J. Walker Mfg. At night before retiring is the occasion when your skin should have a special kind of cleansing. Only with a good oil cream can the dust that has been working into the pores all day be removed. Before retiring give your face a thorough cleansing with Mme. Walker's Cleansing Cream. The first time you do this you will be mortified and delighted at the amount of dust that comes out. No other bleach can be used as Mme. Walker's Cleansing Cream, so it is the best adapted to clearing up clogged pores and brightening the complexion. WATCH out for the times when your face looks lined and your SKIN lacking in vitality. These are the times you need massage. Mme. Walker's Cold Cream is made exactly the consistency to work well into the pores and give a perfect massage. Your skin needs two creams, one with and one without an oil base FOR a powder base, for preventing chapping, or for a quick freshening up, you cannot use a cream which contains an oil. You need Mme. Walker's Vanishing Cream for use in the day or evening. It contains no oil and never reappears in a wretched, greasy shine. FOR cleansing and for massage your skin needs Mme. Walker's Cleansing Cream or Cold Cream. Either has just enough oil to enable it to get well into the pores and to remove the dust and dirt lodged deep in them, and just enough body to make it perfect for massage. None of these creams fosters the growth or hair or down. Get a jar of each cream today of any Mme. C. J. Walker agent, or at any dealer's. With these creams you can give your skin the different kinds of care it needs at different times. PAGE FIVE ```markdown ``` "After Office Hours" Pleases at Avenue; "Hello 1919" Taxes Capacity of Grand PAGE BIX "After Office Hours" is the offering of the day. The office is during play and well presented by the staff. "After Office He of the week at th duing play and w the man and his wife Lappayette Players. It tells of a man and his wife and daughter—a family of three—who cent brown stone house, their home life ideal and their happiness complete. The man is a successful broker, he easily his equal, and his daughter the image of her mother, with the socially a saurful through her engagement in marriage to a young and important husband, troubled JOHN B. HARRIS the wife, and the wife trusted the husband, and the daughter loved and trusted them both, so all was happiness and contentment. Sometimes the best of men go wrong, and the reason, nine times out of ten, is a woman. And the daughter, who was a spoiled broker's downfall was little Millie Sinclair, his $15 a week stenographer, whose youth, beauty and ingenuousness proved to be too strong a magnet for him to resist. But the girl was not to blame, for the many anomalies she had faced. She hadn't been told, and when she accepted her employer's invitation to be entertained "after office hours" she felt rather flattered that he should ask her, and, being her employer and old enough to be her father, she accompanied him with a feeling of the inevitable, the inevitable, and Millie, instead of taking dictation, became 'dictator, and told her rich and respected employer and his wonderful wife and charming daughter what they would have to do to save the family honor. As the writer stated about a woman, she had expected to hold you spellbound from the rise to the fall of the curtain. Pretty Evelyn Ellis has the part of Millie, the stenographer; she is well cast and has been well drilled in the interpretation, for at no stage of the proceedings does she overplay. In place of the cooperation he has called for sympathy, and in others she shows a willingness that is almost startling, coming from a source of the sort. The fact that, after all, she has a "chance" with the faithful young man who really loved her, did not swerve her from going into the retirement that she usual man mentioned, Arthur Simmons is all that could be called for; the type calls for real character work, and Mr. Simmons acquits himself creditably. Clarence E. Muse is the broker, G. P. Bentley; this fact is a guarantee that the usual man mentioned. There are but few better actors than Muse and none are among the Lafayette Players. He has a distinctive way about his efforts which lends added interest to anything that he might be seen in, and in this play he fairly ellipses all his past work. He is the one to take the story, he is the forgive a manner of speaking, by the wife whom he has wronged through his lack of moral character. Clever Inez Clough is the wife. Handsome in appearance and aristocratic in manner, Miss Clough fits perfectly in the part. The charitable manner in which she takes her wife was so back in limbo for real applause from the sympathetic auditors out front. Carletta Freeman as Eleanor, the daughter, lives right up to the splendid reputation which she has bulled here by her cleverness and adaptability; Miss Freeman is without doubt one of the most versatile members of the female cast for real applause. In this play she wears "clothes" of a sort and in a way that makes many a feminine heart flutter. Eddie Thompson plays the part of the young minister in love with the daughter and gets a great deal out of the presentation. He is a clever actor. Charles W. H. H. H. in juvenile forms is playing the brother. Bud Sinclair, and the cast is completed by George Allen playing the part of Bright, a politician. THE GRAND This is the second big week of 'Hello 1919' at the Grand Theater, and the attendance is such, at every performance, that it is necessary to hang so low. Soon before long before time for the curtain to rise, Frank Montgomery has 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. THE MONOGRAM The bill here this week is exceptionally classy. Dick & Dick have been held over on account of the fine showing made last week, and it is one of the first times that a thing of the sort has occurred in many moons. It is one popular act with the Monogram audience; it is again with us, and is making the fine impression that always characterizes his appearance here. He has several new songs that he does exceptional justice to. Tim Qwsey and his new partner, Jackson, has an act that he car. Above the average; it has many "bite" moments up in its fifteen minutes' duration, and the clever Tim, who, by the way, writes all his own song numbers and chatter, was never seen to better advantage. His partner is a worthy one and the act a real hit. Davis & Davis—Amon and Mrs.—are here for the first time as amon and they have a very offering.

Gibson, of Standard Theater, delaware, whose show has seen on several occasions of late in the stage news. The article was culled from the columns of the Philadelphia Press, date of Feb. 14. John Gibson, one of the most important men business among the people of Philadelphia, has been urged to run for congress in the First district against William S. Vare by the Committee of Seven of the Federated Negro Organizations.

In announcing the candidacy, Dr. R. B.

They have carefully kept tab on his votes at Washington, on measures affecting their welfare. His disqualified himself to vote on the Madden bill to calculate the Jump car, recently before congress. We have reached the determination to put our own representatives in legislative bodies and to hold them to strict account for their actions. The campaign bodies and to finance by his own people and if he can be a candidate, a new chapter will be written in Philadelphia's political history." CALLERS Things looked mighty fine around the Old Roll Top Desk on Thursday of last week, when Evan Robinson, Nona Burke and Marie Rich, of the Hello 1919 Company, dropped in upon us.

It is founded upon the accurate facts of medical science, and while startling in theme, is frank and honest, with trouble with truth which is so often trouble with truth the sham, protection of false, modesty. The story deals with the married life of the Hartman family—the wife, Katherine, and the husband, Jefferson. The wife, during her schoolgirl days, had been engaged to Dr. Freeman, the family physician and lifelong friend of the family. When she marries Jeff Hartman the couple, she continues to prove his friendship to Katherine and Jeff. The young wife is bitterly opposed to becoming a mother, for reasons which she refuses to disclose to either her physician-friend or -to her husband. When she discovers that she is nursing a little life she is terrified, and beseaches Dr. Katherine, to help her by preventing its coming into contact. Undismayed at her failure she consults other physicians with the same result; then she herself tries to destroy the life of her unborn, but to no avail. Twenty years later she and Jeff have a stormy scene, in which Katherine faints because that her opposition to motherhood causes her to motherhood there was a hereditary taint in her blood—her father had died in an asylum—she herself was addicted to drugs and throughout the years of her boyhood, sheoloed constantly in the fear of his hereditary epileptic, of the dread that some day he would be filled with the lust to kill, because of her desire to destroy him while he was as yet unborn. The drama we find her horror because realizes for the boy, Lennox, the curse of epilepsy finally fastening itself upon him, is transformed into a demon seized with the desire to kill. Loving his flame, Ruth Freeman, niece of the doctor, he uses the weapon upon himself, before the threat of his family and Ruth's uncle. Thus Mrs. Hartman is made to realize that heredity is a dangerous thing with which to trifle. The cast presenting "The Unborn" will be Clive Clough, Mr. Muse, Miss Freeman, Mr. Simmons, Mr. Olden and Miss Ellis. "LUMBER JACKS" The vich Stuyvesant Van Allen agrees to give Dick Farrington a place in his New York office at a very nominal amount to young fellow returns to Betty Wintheen Van Allen's ward, her lost mesh bag and, refusing the monetary reward she offers him, implores her aid in securing employment. Every short while Dick has advanced himself so rapidly and thoroughly in Van Allen's business that when it is learned that there is something wrong in the conduct of the northwest lumber camp belonging to the Van Allen interests, Dick is assigned the position of foreman of the camp and sent northwest to run down the conspirators. But this task is not as easily accomplished as might be supposed, and Dick has a lot of brawny list work to do before he masters the situation in the camp, but he finally succeeds and then the director in New York to denounce the director in Vivienne's own office, who was co-operating with the trouble-makers in the camp. Dick's mother was an American and his father an Englishman and the boy was born, and brought up in London, but the American blood in him was almost, and when his wildness in it prompted the light" prompted his father, Lord Fawcett to send him on a visit to his relatives, the Van Allens, at their estate on Long Island, Dick came willingly, and the romantic adventures which changed the fellow from a London man-about-to-be hard and serious worker are brought out of the romantic interest in "The American Way" absorbing photo-play just released by the World, in which the ever enjoyable Arthur Ashley plays the part of young Farrington, the fascinating Dorothy Farrington, the role of Betty Winthrop, the charming of the American.

Berguson, formerly of Utica avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y. Billy E. Jones, 131 West 138th street, New York, N. Y. THE CHICAGO DEPENDER Short Sketch of Popular Lafayette Player Now in Chicago There are few actresses who enjoy the distinction of being able to please everybody, but that is about what Carletta, Freeman is able to do, and as a consequence she is the Lafayette Players. If she is playing the part of a young girl or of a motherly old lady, the result is just the same. Perfection pokes out all over her and she "gets" you with her first appearance. She has been the subject of "Miss Ullity," for there are few female characters that she has not been called upon to portray, and in the language of the scrub-lady, she "jes matchly cleans up." But it is in the "Vamp" parts that Miss Freeman is the most popular large pumpkin knockout. She sure makes them all sit up and take notice. Q Carlotta Freeman and what the well known "Theda B." is to the famous Fox Film forces is just what the subject of this short, but sweet harangue is to the subject corporation. She has been hissed for her sweet harangue is to the subject corporation. She has been hissed for her sweet harangue is as fine a line that could be desired by any star actress. The writer remembers how one night Miss Freeman was presented with a wonderful bunch of American Beauty roses during an intermission. When the flowers went over the footlights in the room, she was in the rear of the house remarked that "It's a shmne to give her those flowers, but she sure deserves them." Very few but Miss Freeman's closest friends know that she is a married lady with a family, but it is so; her family is famous musician and teacher, who keeps house while the wife is away, the beautiful home being situated at 209 West 139th street, New York City. To keep him from being lonesome while she is away she has furnished a fine son in the person of Valdo Freeman, who almost missed the first draft. Miss Freeman has been a member of the Lafayette Players for three years, coming back to the stage after several years of private life. Her first work in the theatricals was with Ernest Hogan's "Rufus Rustus" company, and she was also a member of the original Pekin Stock Co., in Chicago. She is one of the most beautiful women on Amanda's team, and has petal smile and some more personality. She is not a bit temperamental and reads the Defender every week. PRIZE WINNERS Clarence Williams' big song hit, "Mammy's Coo Coo," sung by Henrietta Jackson of Williams & Piron's music house at the big song contest held on September 12. Chabrer, Monday, 9 p.m., first prize, a wonderful waltz-ballad, created a sensation. Mrs. D. E. Maple was the accompanist. Miss Edna Hicks, the popular performer, introduced "Sugar Beans," which won much applaudie. Clarence Williams also introduced his last numbers "Georgia Chick" and "Play 'Em for Mamma, Sing 'Em for Me." Leonard Scott, formerly of the Tennessee Ten, is in charge of the professional department of the Williams & Piron Company, and is being assisted by the Warfield, one of the staff writers.

AT 31ST "WITHIN OUR GATES" "WITHIN OUR GATES" The final opportunity for Chicagoans to see Micheaux's famous production, "Within Our Gates," occurs on next Tuesday, Feb. 24, when the great pictureater. It will be shown without the cuts which were made before its initial presentation, so the patrons of the popular States will see it in its entirety, exactly as the famous producer intends. The scenes are laid in the south, where the outrages are most predominant, and the author has not minced words in presenting the facts as they really exist. To give you a slight idea of what the story is like, we published from the middle part of the scenario. "It was late September in Mississippi; the cotton had been picked, ginned, baled and delivered. There was to be a picnic and night festival, and on the preceding afternoon Joseph Landry, with a statement of account prepared by his daughter Sylvia, who was "going away to school," went to the plumbers, who told her that he would white, to make a settlement. Now, there was a worthless, unifiable fellow named Eph. He was known as a spreader of "news," who had told Girdlestone something that had famed the flame of hatred in his breast against Landry. Eph. secreted to peep upon the controversy which he had planned, turned away to sighle when he saw Girdlestone falling to the floor, mortally wounded, with Landry standing 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 Race cannot afford to miss seeing this great production, and, remember, it'TELLS IT ALL. HARVEY SPARKS Well, here is another letter sent in from the Harvey's Greater Minstrels by Billy Nichols, the one-man comedy drama.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1920 VIEW "DANGEROUS HOURS" "DANGEROUS HOURS" Laborers worked for weeks recently on the big Thomas H. Ince motion picture picture constructing a three-story brick building. On the very evening that the task was completed the structure was deliberately bombed and in a few minutes was a smouldering ruin, with the bodies of men and women strewn about under the debris. A few days later work was started on a block of frame buildings. Lightning efforts resulted in the completion of this task in a week's time. But a half hour was enough to burn them down. These are two of the most spectacular scenes in the new Ince production. "Dangerous Hours," which will be shown at the Vendome Theater for days, commencing Friday next. An unusually dramatic story is promised in this big picture, with the current labor unrest and the menace of bolstery as a background. Though the action is developed through a series of thrilling episodes employing hundreds of people, a tender love story runs through the plot, involving a misguided visionary and his more discerning New England sweetheart. The featured players are Lloyd Hughes and Barbara Castleton. They are supported by a notable cast. The film is a Paramount Aircraft and was directed by Fred Niblo.

Money would be no object, for above all things you want to be attractive, to look your best. A smooth skin and a radiant complexion are, therefore, of the greatest importance to you. Long ago, realizing the need of some preparation that would enable ambitious people to make themselves more attractive, skin specialists and chemists were put to work to perfect a compound that people could use at home to clear their complexion. After many tests and experiments extending over a period of years the Black and White Beauty Treatment was offered to the public. This home treatment consists of Black and White Ointment and Black and White Soap. The Ointment is mixed and applied just before bedtime and washed off the most morning. It is both simple and safe to use and just as delightful as the many face creams and lotions. It contains only the best of oils and soap-making ingredients which are known to soothe and cleanse the pores, keep the skin in a healthy condition and improve the complexion. The Black, and White Beauty Treatment can be found at most good drug and toilet counters, or one package of Black and White Ointment and a bar of Black White Black and White Ointment alone will remove pimples and roughness but when Black and White Soap is also used, much quicker and better results are secured. Black and White Soap is one of the best antiseptic toilet and beauty soaps made.

It is expected that more than 5,000 Chicagoans will assemble and learn what the Protective Circle of Chicago is doing to put a stop to the outrages. There will be speaking to the point by some of the best known citizens in the city. "There is universal determination," said one prominent citizen today, "that the Kenwood and Hyde Park outrages must stop before something more serious happens in our city. "The police thus far seem perfectly helpless when it comes to finding the cowards who are trying to destroy property, and yet they turn the entire detention loose . . . crimes less serious." With the coming of spring and the expiration of leases and mortgages, the housing situation, already critical, is becoming appallingly acute. It is reported that some unsupervised real estate Real Estate owners to sell their property remain idle and dispose of it to people of our group. However, there are a number of men who are acting the part of real Americans. One of those is the editor of the Chicago Real Estate Newsletter of the leading publications of the kind country. More than four entire pages of the regular February edition of the Real Estate News is devoted to a discussion of the Hyde Park and Kenwood situation, in which it is stated that threats and bombs will not are people away. The Protective Circle of Chicago is distributing 25,000 of these magazines among the residents of Hyde Park and Kenwood (white) in order that those who desire to be fair work is being done by the circle, which will be explained at the monster mass meeting, Feb. 29.

P. and contributing editor of the New York Times covered an interesting address Thursday at people at the South Park M. E. Church, 33d and South Park avenue. Mr. Johnson spoke under the auspices of the Lincoln League of America, taking as his theme "Lynchings in the United States." He said in part: "The first time the salozo is that public opinion in the United States not against Lynchings; if it was Lynching as it is carried on in this country could not exist. "Of course, there are vast numbers of Americans who are shocked and horrified at the mere thought of lynching, but the great majority are not, in the millions of law-abiding people in the United States, and women, who would not knowingly into a municipal regulation, who, while they may not indorse the lynching of members of our group, at the same time do not condemn it. For a reason which may not be clear to themselves they feel when such member of our group is lynched that perhaps, after all, they would best thing that could be done under the law, this inertia, this condoning attitude of American public opinion, is the most difficult condition to be reckoned with in any effort to abolish lynching. "There is a reason for this condoning attitude—a reason which sprang from distortion and misrepresentation, and which has been fostered by well directed propaganda. The impression has been grawn on the mind of the public and has been used in the images of persons of our group and the crime of rape go together. In the mind of the American public at large the idea has been more or less firmly imbedded that rape and the lynching of members of the Race in the South bear the relation of cause and effect." The speaker then presented authentic testimonies on lynchings throughout the United States about that 1,955 people lynched 1,460 of the 1,955 lynched for minor offenses of the most trivial kind. His address was replete with interesting facts and wholesome advice.

"WE COVER CHICAGO LIKE THE MORNING DEW THE CHICAGO DEFENDER THE POLITICAL POT By A. N. FIELDS The Lincoln League has come and gone; it marked a new and important era of special civic, economic and political morality, in the life of our group. The call brought to this city 805 men firm in convictions, representative of the best interests, the most substantial, from the mainpoints of wealth and the foremost political thinkers of our day. The reply to the call brought men from thirty-five states, each enjoying the confidence and respect of the high minded citizenry of his commonwealth. Significant of its birth and growth, this coming together was in response to the number of one man and that man was none other than Roscoe Conkling Simmons. The Foremost Figure Whether liked or disliked, whether honored or dishonored by the classes, it must be admitted that he enjoys the illimitable confidence and respect of the masses—this is indeed a whole lot to say, but for Roscoe it is not enough. For two days I observed him in action—a combination of wit, humor, passion and patience, the psychology of being the versatility of genius. Some of the greatest genius hate to have it said, but Roscoe has come to stay as the foremost figure on the American platform, bearing a message peculiarly his own. Daily News Indorses League The bringing of 393 members of our group to this city, traveling at their own expense, some of them coming thousands of miles, bent upon the purpose of working out their destiny and entering their protest against the wrongs inflicted upon them through the machinations of political tyranny, the unacceptable encumacipation Simmons and he the centerpiece of their action, the very trumpet through which their cause was heard. This was admitted by the Daily News, who editorially speaking of Simmons and the League, said: "The prevailing note was one of fait in American institutions and the American culture. The chairman lost in opportunity to pay proper deference to worthy men. He touched briefly, though feelingly, upon their patience, purpose, resolve action and steadfast integrity—exhibiting in language not to be misunderstood what each had accomplished, little if anything, and his country, never losing an opportunity of illustrating the efficacy of self-respect and self-reliance. Evidences Racial Solidarity Old Order Passeth The activities of this convention marked the passage of the old order of things and brought with it the rising of a now sun and the dawn of a new day. An array of men unhappened their purpose and ideas ideal for the purpose that the success of their cause depended upon the unity of their action, placing them above those sordid temptations which cause smaller natures to make time a measure of profit? The League was a unit in endorsing Senator Judge's position on the League of the People. It was easily apparent that the League was also a unit in demanding the reduction of southern representation in congress. Hurston Responds to Mayor Hueston Responses to Mayor W. Hueston. Hueston is attorney of Kansas City, Mo., was chosen by the friends of Mayor William Hale Thompson to the address of welcome delivered to the delegates to the Lincoln League of America, which was held at South Park, Kansas. He evidenced rare and exceptional ability and proved himself one of the foremost figures of the convention. To his credit largely goes the honor for the passage of the resolution calling for a reduction of congressional representation in Kansas. Hueston is a member of the law firm of Hueston & Calloway, engaged in general practice in his home city. Prominent Woman Here Mrs. Lathia Fleming, wife of Thos. W.

McCLENDON Sets New Standard By Nora Douglas Holt One of the most unusual as well as graffiti-ful White recital at Lincoln Center last Thursday evening was the personnel of the audience, demonstrating the new interest being created and absorbed by contiguous types who are awakening to the fact that music apprehension part in the cultural status of a race. Beginning with the press and odying through a labyrinth of social satellites and professional stars, it is odlent they are desirous of a broader acquaintance with music and its entrepreneurs, while their growing enthusiasm mands artists of super efficiency to appease their newly acquired appetites for good music and good programs. Mr. White was all that the most exacting audience could require, giving him a very highly delineated. The intellectually inclined were treated to the Tartini sonata and those who enjoy proportion, symmetry and beauty of contour music, coupled with an unassailable balance selected by the Cairoridge Taylor bullade as the piece de resistance of the evening. Then as a master stroke he gave a group of his own compositions, based on Negro music, to the Tartini and the Nobody Knows the Trouble I See, is used by Kreisler as a Victor record. In these numbers Mr. White displayed his superior legato bowing, the artifice or which demands a closely aligned train of strings, and the performer surploit the listener with a succession of whinings both bainseating and amateurish. The audience harmonized fully with his piercing, exacting many onces, and he more than fulfilled the demands. After admitting the high esteem with which Mr. White is held and that he has a faithful following, praise for the overwhelming success of the affair so so ably managed it. Music lovers who are appreciative of his standards now know that any presentation of his will be distinctly high class and worthy of the most discriminating patronage. An old custom and one that is decisive, is the announcement of future durph that the durph was palpably embarrassed and likewise were the artists who naturally deery any break in the continuity of a concert program. Being his most successful affair, his words of thanks to the public were apropos, but the audience was eagerly engaged. The musical folk eagerly awaits more The musical folk eagerly await more of his managerial efforts. Ketuckians Royally Entertained William Worley, Henry Allen and Leonard Haley, Louisville.

Also 825 cases of Pneumonia and 139 deaths. Doctors predict that this is the beginning of an Influenza Epidemic such as we had last year, when hundreds of thousands died as a result. Influenza can be prevented; last year's results prove that. Doctors recommend that a good germicide should be used frequently. Probably one of the most successful germicides used during the epidemic last year was Turpo, which is a combination of the old-time remedies of turpentine (which for years has been the best known remedy) and thol in a pure mineral base. Many physicians and hospitals use and recommend Turpo. Snuff a little Turno up the nostrils several times a day, and the fungus will have little chance of getting a wound or an bruising place. Remember to use in a great majority of cases, develops into pneumonia, so prepare now. Buy a jar of Turpo of your drugr supply on hand, and use as directed. In spite of all precautions, Intuitive hospitals, go to bed and call a physician. We teach by mail or personal instructions all branches of beauty culture. Diploma given. Send stamp for particulars.

Marshall The question of raising rents, like all other questions, has two sides to it: the side of the landlord and the side of the tenant. The landlord and the side of all the position of the landlord. When the first day of May arrives the great majority of lenses will have to be recharged, and the landlord will have to that the prices for work, labor and materials have been rapidly increasing, but we do not know whether they will increase. The landlord does not know what the price of coal will be next winter, either does he know what will be the price of electricity, wages of janitors, plumbers, carpenters, decorators; in brief, he must try to figure out one year in advance what the prices will be, and accordingly. He must try to have his rents low enough to keep his apartments filled with tenants and at the same time high enough to pay all of his operating expenses, and provide a reasonable profit for himself. If the landlord wants his rents should be, he will not have an opportunity to adjust his rates again until a whole year has passed. He must try to defend the "protecting landlord" who is trying to squeeze every penny out of his tenants that he can, and that as long as the prices of work, labor, food, clothes and all other kinds and chases of materials and commodities are increasing that it is reasonable to suppose that rents will be raised.

A WISE OLD OWL If you never blew a bubble. Never dreamed an idle dream. Never had your share of trouble. Never skimmed milk for cream; If you never were defeated. Never put out on a foul. Never in life's game was cheated. You're a mighty wise old owl. WHY THE DIFFERENCE? WE ARE TOLD through the columns of the daily press that the assassins of "Mossy" Enright have been apprehended, and that confessions have been obtained that will send those responsible for his death to the gallows. If this be true, we wish to congratulate the police of Chicago and the state's attorney of this county for their speedy and splendid work in bringing the miscreants to the bar of justice. Enright was a notorious gunman. He was an enemy of society and in his passing Chicago is the gainer. If the hangman's noose tightens about the necks of his slayers this community will still be the gainer. Enright's life was of no consequence to this city except to point a moral, yet his death was the occasion of most unusual police activity. In less than an hour after the sawed-off shotgun had done its deadly work, a hundred policemen were scouring the southern section of the city in the greatest man hunt known to the police department. COMPARE THIS VIGILANT WORK on the part of Chicago's police force with its almost criminal lack of effort in ferreting out the scoundrels who have been making life a nightmare by bombing the homes of respectable members of our group. Again we ask why the difference? Is it of more concern to the city that the life of a thug and labor slugger should be avenged, and speedily so, than the homes of respectable and law abiding citizens should be given the fullest measure of protection? THE RESPONSIBILITY for this situation should be placed where it belongs. It rests upon the shoulders of the police department. Its chief, Mr. Garrity, has at his command some four or five thousand men who are thoroughly schooled in searching out law breakers. Many of them have records of exceptional merit. They may not have actual knowledge of the identity of the bomb throwers but they have the unquestioned ability to find them. Why have they not done so? IT IS NOT SUFFICIENT for the present city administration to point to the political positions awarded our people as evidence of its friendly attitude. The welfare of all the Colored people of this community cannot be bargained away for a mess of political pottage. Far better that every job-holder among us should lose his place than that one of our-homes be made insecure. We are not particularly interested in the political fortunes of any man or group of men, but we are vitally interested in the safety of our women and children and the homes we have secured by dint of toil and sacrifice. WE CAN NO LONGER TOLERATE the excuse that the police force is inadequate. Their work in the Enright case convinces us that the contrary is true. If a hundred or more policemen can be set to work hunting down the murderers of such as Enright, what can be said in excuse of their failure to apprehend the band of night-riding Ku-Klux that make the destroying of our homes almost a nightly occurrence? It should not be a difficult matter to lay hands on the persons responsible for these outrages. Within a stone's throw of the latest bomb explosion is the meeting place of an organization whose propaganda is responsible for whatever is happening in the effort to drive us from this territory. The organ of this society is publishing in every issue, articles that have the effect of inciting a race prejudice that leads to just such lawlessness as is manifesting itself in this district. WE HEAR MUCH in these days of the activity of so-called "Reds." Every governmental agency, both local and national, has been set in motion to crush these enemies of society. How much more advisable would it be to strike at some of the monstrous evils that make people see "red." Why not cure the disease by striking at the cause? You cannot make upright, law abiding citizens by hurling bombs at their homes. It will not do for any community group to have driven into their souls the idea that the protection of the law is not for them and theirs. The state is no more secure than the safety of any one constituent group that makes up its citizenry. Lawlessness against one group begets lawlessness against other groups, and thus endangers the peace of the whole. THESE FACTS should not be lost sight of by those charged with law enforcement in this community. If it is necessary to station a police officer in every South Side block to put a stop to the bombing outrages, so be it. BRISBANE AND RACE PREJUDICE HAWAII HAWAII is still knocking at our door begging for statehood. If admitted it will have to come in on the political terms upon which all other states and the United States are ordinance of 1787 and are that new states shall have all the rights of the original 13. If a state must have all the powers of Illinois or New York. Objection is made on the grounds that it will practically be a Japanese state, and if the people still retain their Japanese feeling and are bound by the Japanese ties, they might in fact of trouble with Japan, make use of their state powers to assist a public enemy. BUT it IS NOT LIKELY we will engage in another war with any country very soon. American apiris is grounded into these people. If prejudice is relegated to the background if they are the government with which they are identified, and if the moneyed interests are not permitted to gobble up the natural resources, there is no reason to believe but what the Hawaiians in time will measure up to the average citizen living in the parent country. IF THE CABINET OFFICERS continue to resign by request and otherwise, why not throw our own J. Hamilton Lewis in the breach and let him run whole shebang himself? He can do it, and President Wilson can well trust him. WITH FLATS and pouses, as scarce as hen's teeth it doesn't pay to get too upplain with the landlord. AS A MATTER OF FACT you haven't given as freely to the poor and needy this winter as your means would permit. Now, have you? Better start today.

The Chicago Business League The regular monthly meeting of the Chicago Business League was held at the Appomattox club Wednesday night. The attendance was large and added to the number of the offisjs of the Great Lakes Trust company, delivered a very practical address to the members. The real challenge is in a flourishing condition and is proving a great help to the business men of the community. Executive Secretary decries his report that he will appeal efforts to put the league on the map from one end of the country to the other and back up the executive office in the program. The beautiful new membership certificates have been distributed and the members displaying them with the paign of publicity is being built up around the membership certificates. A large number of visitors attending the meeting at the Business League offices. President David A. McGowan said: "The Chicago Business League is a great progressive life of our community." PREVENTIVE MEASURES, FIRST AID REMEDIES HYGIENICS AND SANITATION We are living in a peculiar age—an very strange and relentless. You very strenuous and relentless. You might say that is a time in which we are for himself and let the devil take the hindmost." We are being taken unwares eery day and brings us face to face with many disagreeable surprises so we are those we have trusted to be our friends are either lukewarm or have openly our premises. We have Dr. A. W. Williams been looking and have looked too long for friends and help outside of ourselves, and doubtless many of us have been credited to Cassius during a statement credited to Cassius during a conversation with Brutus over two thousand years ago when Brutus complained about Cassius popularity and that he was not a Cassius and old Cassius, as your member, was keen, lean and sagacious, replied to Brutus thusly: "The fault, Cassius, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are not in our stars." This tense statement is very applicable to the members of the Colored race today. The fault is not in our opportunities, so he is saving, to lay by something for a man, for a time when money will help us and give us power (points) and strength in any community, but in our communities, the valuable, nay more, the priceless son of economy, of saving, of alder, spending less than what we earn, no matter what comes, no matter how tempting to tempt dollar shoes or the thirty and seventy-five dollars per hats or the seventy-five, two hundred or five hundred and thousand dollar coats may be, through the temptation of money down. If we are to become the successful and influential and powerful group in this community—in this grand commonwealth, nay more, throughout the world, in every place and every one of us, learn the lesson of economy and we must practice economy. We are entirely, wasteful of dress, especially show dress—we have too much external pride and too little internal pride of self. Preparndness We have found a great many of our racial group unprepared to take care of themselves properly during the epidemic of gripe, influenza, pneumonia and other diseases and many were unable to have a clan call more than twice during the ROSCOE SIMMONS ELECTED PRESIDENT (Continued From First Page) debates. This proved that the Race understands conduct. Then there came men of wide distinction to hand, down the street, and a convention had done nothing more than afford a platform for that speech delivered by Will H. Hays, wise and patient observers would say that that was a plenary. But others spoke: Gen. Nelson, the governor, mayor Thompson. What they brought was good, but what they got was better. The Spirit of All There "I'd much rather hear Roscoe Simmons make a speech all the evening than speak myself, however briefly," he said. "I really meant to say was that he enjoyed tinging the truth told to him by the one master of the art of getting the white folks told without hurting anybody's feeling or falling out with truth. Its all about the stars that the Lincoln League got here just in time. The league, as interpreted by its orators, thinks the Race will get a better hearing fighting in its eyes. It will be ening to leave home because everything isn't pretty. The Lincoln League will have the people with it from the jump, but it will not have the support of a large number of office seekers. Our office workers in its own ranks will stay hitched. Religious to the Core Every session-of the league opened and closed with prayer and song, and the president kept reminding the delegates that nothing could be done even before the election of a Power beyond the Republican party. And that went home; went home to the delegates and the thousands that jaunched the auditorium and the senators and the denouncers had but little chance in the Lincoln League. "Let us denounce with reason," said Cottrell of Ohio, and that became the sense of the gathering. And the big leaders put the gavel on the table. And the Negro, the Republican party and the United States are about all the platform Col. Simmons cares about. And anybody thinking differently isn't got the floor of the Lincoln League. On Raising Money "That the people are with the Lincoln League was shown in the great sum of money raised in a few minutes. Why, some of the preachers all said, was the test. Two secretaries and a clerk had their hands full trying to keep up with the response for funds to pay the expenses of the meeting, but 60 points were raised but in about a quarter of of them. They were not heard of any more after they got to the raising stage. The meeting got hot on the closing, night when the cutter of New Jersey chalman in the College of New Jersey report. That was time for the parliamentarians to get loose. Three thousand people looked on at that forensic battle that ended with a drop of blood. And the resolutions went through. Scan the delegates: **Cohen, Perry Howard, Fleming, Banks, Joo Jones, Lloyd and Phillips, Redmond, Wilkerson, Perkins, Grigley, Prince, West, Wm H Stoward, Cottrell, Kemm of Michigan, Harris, Johnson of Georgia, Watson, Wheaton, Ferguson of Virginia, and** Keen scanning: Johnson of New York, Tidrington, Henry Fleming, Allen, Haley, Hueston, Well Norris, Narrans, Wheaton, Lytes, Rooker, Purifoy, Charle Calloway, Gaines, Shelton, Richardson of Texas, and the other from Indiana, and among these and the rest; **Oo find the blossom and the bud of the tree. Cheers for the Lincoln League!** Bey Eugua Succumbs Port Hursh, Mich., Feb. 20. —Illness, caused by disorganized liver, caused by a bacterial infection, had just moved to this village several weeks ago, having come here when the new church was established. He was employed there, where he was employed by the Ford Corp. most severe illness; and often, many are unable to get the prescriptions filled and buy their medicine at the drug store; yet, at the same time, you buy it as three or four pairs of shoes shown for a price from $.00 to $20.00 per pair and 'various musical instruments, the finest of furniture—but all of these fine feathers are of no value when it comes to shoes, coal, food and the other necessities.' Case in Point Our Suggestion We have been thinking over the following suggestions and observations for several months. In fact, during our travels in France, we observed the French people and simple were the French schooling, middle and working class, and how they spent their lives. The average American family, both black and white, are away each day, enough to support an ordinary French or German family. Our first suggestion is that we work for the other follow, that we get as much money from him as we pay, and then let us spend all of this money on our own, sible, within our racial group; not that we like the other follow loss, but that we like and want to protect ourselves from Americans like money. We cannot have Americans like money. We average American respect, if we have with him one day for the rights and privileges that belong to every man and the next day, we are found in his line, or at his back door asking for a job or begging for alms. More information. Col. Simmons Thanks Our White friends Col. Roscoe Simmons makes the following statement: "Surely I am grateful for the warm reception given by the hundreds of delegates to the Lincoln League. I thank them for the great interest manifested in our deliberations, and I am sorry that the church was not large enough to crowd the crowds. The next time we meet in Chicago we are going down to the Auditorium, particularly grateful to our white friends who meet me in his spoke for us, encouraged us in our fight, joined us in the spirit of Lincoln. The Lincoln League was organized in the Lincoln, Lincoln, and is no place for fire-catters, but we are the American white man rather than back farther from him. We are both plain, ordinary fools, the white American who propagates against my Race and the American who my struggling Race in his propaganda against the American white man. Before we are through with our fight as we are, we need all colors and shapes to keep Old Glory where she was first unfurled. Y. M. C. A. NEWS A. N. P.
