Granady, Doneen candidate for ward committeeman in the 20th ward, who was slain by white gunmen on primary day because he was in the race against Morris Eller, boss of the ward, a coroner's jury failed to name the slayers and closed the coroner's probe with certain recommendations for further investigations. The jury announced its findings Monday night after deliberating since the jurors were sworn in. The jurors, consisting of prominent business men, recommended the appointment of a special grand jury and an able attorney as special prosecutor to continue the probe of helwessness which was much in evidence on elec- "The evidence clearly shows that in certain precincts of the 20th, 24th and 27th wards on April 10 there was extreme lawlessness, such as the intimidation and terrorizing of election officials, the kidnaping and assaulting of police officers, the impolice belief to perform, the illegal display of firearms and other violence; but the evidence presented to the jury does not disclose whether or not the same persons involved in the above violations of the law were involved in the killing of the said Octavius C.

NATIONAL EDITION FEARS NATION WILL FORGET PREJUDICES Washington, D. C., May 11. Two southern senators, Thomas J. Heilin, of Alabama, and Coleman L. Blease, of South Carolina, Democrats, last Thursday on the floor of the senate attacked Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover and Governor Alfred E. Smith, leading Republican and Democratic presidential candidates, for their attitude toward us. The abolishing of segregation in the commerce department was the basis of the attack on Secretary Hoover. Senator Blease attributed the defeat of Senator Simeon D. Fess, of Ohio, to delegate at large to the Republc to attention, to the order of Secretary Hoover putting together employees, regardless of Race, in the census bureau. It has been told, Senator Blease stated, that friends of both Secretary Hoover and Governor Smith have been making promises that a "man of African blood" will be put in the cabinet if either of these two people are elected. Senator Blease expressed the hope that Illinois and New York will send a member of our Race to congress. I want to walk over," he said, "and see one of Hoover's black chocolates and with some of the white people out there who sem to love him so well." Fear Race Riot He warned against race riots. "I warn you people," he said, "that when you turn the Negro man loose in a riot with whatever arms he may be, the Negro woman, the wingo, loose with a torch, God save you people who are acting as you are toward them today! While he is out fighting you with whatever weapons he may get, she is with a torch under the house, the children are sleeping, for when aroused these women are more dangerous than their men." Senator Heflin wants to know how Governor Smith and his Tammany hindquarters are the children and the position of the governor, Mayor Walker and other Tammany Democrats on the question of social equality. When a demand was made by political clubs of New York, Boston and other cities, Governor Smith, lynching bill, he said, Governor Smith and Tammany Democrats were appealed to in vain. Not a Tammany Democrat, he declared, voted with southern Democrats against the antilynching bill. From a article in the Manufacturers Record in which a newspaper man said that he recently visited three public dance halls in New York city and saw "Negro men dancing with white women and white men dancing with Negro women, and dancing in the most intimate and hilarious fashion." If Tammany permits such scenes in a city and state which it controls, will similar scenes become national if they are allowed to occur on Tammany and one of its proteges and products?" he asked.

Chicago Jails Should Practice Tolerance The new Cook county jail is being erected at a cost of $7,500,000 and will be fixed out in de luxe fashion for the convenience of its prisoners. The officers must practice Bace discriminations, separate cells, different dining hours and exercise periods for Bace prisoners when it moves. The officers must be in the penal institutions throughout the city, are playing with fire by segregating and discriminating against prisoners on account of their Bace position, and the prison is enclosing the entire city and this condition is sure to bring about serious trouble if pressure isn't brought to bear to stop it. Thousands of inmates practice. They do not realize that the machinery of justice is vast and complicated and that there are many links in the chain which are weak and in some cases broken in the jails, almost gungy system is practiced by the officials. How long are we as taxpayers and free Americans going to tolerate unlawful and unjust practice by men who are paid with our money. The Defender has always stood for the right in all things and recognized the fact that viability is the price of liberty. It urges its readers to act in the best light for the principle of justice that affects all as a group in the end. This segregation and discrimination must cease, and the sooner the citizen of county, county and Chileno attacks and the evil, the better for all concerned.

It Made a New Man of CAPTAIN CRONLEY MANY firemen have a good word for PERUNA, the world's greatest tonic for over fifty years. Naturally, these gallant men need the fortifying, strength-building qualities of PERUNA to keep them on the job. Read, for instance, these grateful words from Captain Benjamin Cronley, with Engine House Number 8. Indianapolis: "I was terribly afflicted with catarh of the head, nose and stomach. I was losing weight—finally a member of the Department advised me to take PERUNA—took four bottles and it made a new man of me, it seemed. Picked a suit and fitted. Sheet it and my work wasn't so tiring. I started taking it again as a good tonic two months ago to brace me up, for my work is very hard at times. It sure makes me feel good." For conditions which need a good tonic, there is nothing just like PERUNA. If you are run-down, nervous, irritable, sleep poorly and have no appetite, heed the words of the Captain, and buy a bottle of PERUNA!

SATURDAY, MAY 12, 1928 THREW SHOES OF SLAIN MAN IN GIRL'S FACE Washington, D. C., May 11.—Clarence H. Blakey, a musician, 33 years old, of 1003 First St., S. W., was tabbed to death by Cheatham A. Weaver, 24 years old, of 1030 Euclid St., N. W., in a fight over a girl in an apartment at 2422 17th St., N. W., early last Thursday morning. A coroner's jury last Friday ordered Weaver held for the action of the grand jury. After the fatal stabbing Weaver is said to have thrown the shoes and coat of his victim into the face of Bernice Alexander, the woman over whom the men fought. "If your man ever lives, he can wear these," Weaver remarked as he tossed the dead man's clothing into her face, Miss Alexander told the coroner's jury. The fight at first was three-cornered, William Foster, a chauffeur, helped Blakey at the start. When Weaver inflicted his first stab, Wound, Foster fled for the police. When he returned, Blakey lay dead in the hallway of the apartment. Hides After Murder Two hours after the killing Weaver was arrested in the apartment house at 1030 Eueld St. He was found at the apartment by policeman Milton W. Warren. At the inquest Weaver appeared with both eyes badly swollen and blackened. His lips were also swollen. He was beaten. His attorney, James A. O'Shea, intimated that the police had beaten Weaver in the eighth precinct police station. Capt. Robert E. Barker, the police officer, heard this intimation against his policemen. According to the story told to the coroner's jury, Blakey and Boster were Wednesday night. From the rehearsal they walked to 2422 17th St. with Miss Alexander, Miss Fannie King and Miss Grace Alexander. Miss Bernice Alexander made a light. Then there was a knock at the door. Weaver demanded that the door be opened. Miss Alexander refused. Weaver against the door and broke it open. Threatens All "I'm going to kill everyone in here," Weaver threatened, it was testified. He shapped Miss Bernie a knuckle under the arm of running around with his girl and struck him. The two men grumped. Poster kept Weaver from getting a ride. Weaver let him ride. Weaver let the club go and as he and Blakey got into close quarters, he stabbed him with a paring knife, poster ran to call the police. Blakey fell in the hallway family wounded. When Freedman's hospital ambulance responded, he was pronounced dead. Mergerson A. Phillips, an interne. At the station house Weaver signed a statement admitting that he had been involved in the attack. Blakey's shoes in the room and began cutting them up. When Blakey objected, he stabbed him. Weaver stated, "all services for Blakey were held Tuesday afternoon from the Friendship Baptist church. The Rev. D. H. Whiting, pastor, officiated and children, Elostine Hall, children and William Blakey, survive him. An, mrs. Phoebe Minor, of Charlotteville, Va., and an uncle. Benjamin Blakey, of Boston, also survive him." Stop in Fire System There are 189 fire department stations scattered throughout this great city manned by 1400 white men of all nationalities. In this same system is the Race firemen representing 175,000 citizens. The Defender still advocates that Race men be appointed to the lily-wild stations so that 189 of them be represented each. It is absurd to think that many cities throughout the country with less Race citizens than Chicago are far more just in giving their taxpayer, fire department, represent the system and in other places in the city can be abolished If the citizens would keep hammering at their city officials. Fairness must be secured in the service not only to give the 14 men in the Jim Crow station a fair chance to earn promotions and others an opportunity to live and work with men in the city and a way for the next generation, which will fare hard unless we take up the battle and get justice now for them. --- POLITICS FACE INQUIRY Washington, May 11.—The affairs of the Republican party in Florida will be investigated if the contemplations of Senator William E.

Youths Must Be Trained in Skilled Vocations The immigration quota in the near future will be changed and foreigners will be bowing to the country to take over the skilled trade jobs if the organizations active at the national capital for a favorable amendment to the quota are successful. Leaders, ministers, lodges and other social and cultural organizations themselves with adding in the training of youths in the skilled trades and professions. If we are to withhold the marked effort to improve our stand in the trades has been made since we entered the skilled workers' class. No encouragement has been given our youths to prepare themselves to ward off the encroachment of the foreign jobs if admitted to this country. Leaders must begin now to urge this acquiring of training in some division of the youths. We must entrench ourselves in the ranks of America's skilled laborers so firmly that they will not only way to do this is to improve ourselves in the trades and better our education. The economic freedom of boys and girls in the trades. Will our leaders urge the learning of trades or stand by and see the for-mer make their youths' places in the trades. Chicago Must Honor Chicago — with all its skyscrapers and beautiful spots — in 1775 was a place over it when Jean Baptiste Polin Desaille, the pioneer adventurer, erected the first store and trading center in the city, which is now the marketing center of the Midwest section of America. Desaille for 17 years conducted business on the first piece of real estate purchased in the area now known as Chicago. He worked to start the city's first world flame and to be the second largest city in this country. Regardless of his achievements and accomplishments, he founded the foundation for the modern city, the prejudice and Race hating citizens have ignored his memory and deeds. The prejudice and Race hating drivers have been named in honor of men whose part in the success of the city has been small, these people have been small, these people have been named in honor of racial identity. Associations and societies with the name Desaille are citizens who are determined thatops be taken to honor his memory. Police Slayer Escapes Payetteville, Ark.

Clergy Should Take More Pride in Dress Ministers of our group should take more pride in their personal appearance, is the belief expressed generally everywhere. The clergymen should be more uniform in appearance. By all means, there should be some uniformity of dress. It should be just as easy to distinguish the clergy of our group as it is to distinguish the clergy of our people. By having a certain dress, there would be more dignity attacked to his office. It would be a sign of great respect and great body on street or in convention should be neatly groomed in an approved suit. It has been over 60 years now since the freeing of the clergy. It should show more progress in their personal attire. Progress in their dress should match their other accomplishments. In the majority of assemblies of members of the clergy are made with old trousers and coats, light colored silos and various styles of hats, including those that are generally identified with a cowboy's. This motion of assemblies appears somehow given serious consideration by the clergy. Foil Mob From Lynching Youths in Tennessee Huntington, Tenn.

The survey, Dr. Shepard maintains, not only proves the increased tendency of high school graduates to take college, but the showing of the state's only state-supported, college and the youngest institution of the state, seems to justify the state in having excelled and in maintaining its college.

MOB KILLINGS IN 1928; SINGLE MURDERS UNCOUNTED New York, May 11—According to a statement issued by James Weldon Johnson of the National Association of Lighthouse Patrons, no lynchings anywhere have been reported in the United States in the first four months of 1928. Since the first lynchings in 1928, 39 years ago, this is the first time that a similar period has gone by without any report of mob killings. The authorities cover the unknown lynchings and murders by individuals such as in Atlanta and other parts of the South where no re-recreation of lynchings has occurred. Plantations and cities of the South have had murders which have not been reported as is done in mob murders. The reports were made over a hundred years ago but be chirped that now go unnoticed. in Louisiana Fight New Orleans, La., May 11—The denial Wednesday of an injunction to restrain Walter Cohen, political activist and former co-chair of this port, and members of his faction from naming delegates to the national Republican convention at Kansas City, where the court indicates that both the Cohen and lily-white factions will have delegates at the convention.

White, congressman from North Carolina, made his farewell speech within the illustrious halls of congress, signs of the time seem to point to a fulfillment of his prophecy. The moving finger is poised to write. Whatever the inscription—it will be history. The eyes of the nation are turned toward Chicago. Will gregressive, dare to take up the challenge? It is the great opportunity and power of the people of this city to answer the plea of the great statesman who have gone before. How will they answer is the question upon every lip. The famous plea of congressman White, whose record in White, integrity and effectiveness is here proven. "I want to enter a plea for the Colored man, the Colored woman, the Colored boy and the Colored gift of press from the question at issue and detain the issue in a discussion of the interests of this particular people at this time, but for the constant and gentlemen upon this flour to mold rivet public sentiment against us as a people and to lose no opportunity to hold up the unfortunate few when they lead lives of infamy and shame as other races do, as fair specimens of representatives of the entire Colored man. And at no time, perhaps during the war, charges and countercharges continuing as they do, shadower statements more persistently magnified and pressed upon the attention of the nation the recent reapportionment bill which is now a law. As stated some days ago on this floor by me, I then went to the office and unfortunate to answer some of the matters made by gentlemen from different states, but the privilege was denied me; and I therefore must entrust the question out of season perhaps, that which I am not permitted to say within season. Scores Colleague "In the catalog of members of congress in this house perhaps none have been more persistent in their desire to disprove and with labor effort to show the black man unworthy of the right of citizenship than my brother Kitchin. During the first session of this compress, while the constitutional amendment was pending in North Carolina he labored long and hard to disprove that the black man was times superior to the Negro by inheritance if not otherwise, and the excuse for his party supporting that adoption, was that an illiterate Negro was unfit to participate in making the laws of a sovereign state and the adoption of an illiterate white man living by his side with no more, pernils not as much property, with no more exiled character, no blinder thoughts, no illiterate speech, no illiterate man, and by birth, because he was white, inherited some peculiar qualification, clear. I presume, only in the desire to impress it upon others, that entitled him to vote, though he knew nothing whatever of letters. It was over things at times which they would have exist until they fool themselves and actually, sometimes houses believe that such things do not Cites Election Facts "I would like to call the gentleman's attention to the fact that the Constitution of the United States forbids the grating of any title of no more than one, and it does not in letters forbid the inheritance of this superior caste. I believe in the fertile imagination of the gentleman promulgating it his position is at least in conflict with the law. He insists and I believe, has introduced a resolution in this house for the repeal of the 15th amendment At the time when the country is agog because of the sudden vacancy in the house of congress, caused by the untimely death of Congressman Martin B. Madden of Illinois, it is well to call attention to the amount of excitement about CONGRESSIONAL NOMINEE PLANS VIGOROUS FIGHT FOR SEAT to the Constitutional. As an excuse for his peculiar notions about the exercise of the right of franchise by citizens of the United States of different nationality, perhaps it would not be amiss to call the attention of the house to a few facts and figures surrounding his birth and rearing. To begin with, he was born in one of the states, he was born in one of Halifax a rather significant name. "I might state further that the Democrats of North Carolina got possession of the state and local government, and that I bid aloie to these historic walls on the 4th day of next March, and that the brother of Mr. Kitchin will succeed me. Comment is uninteresting to me. The young gentleman was born, at the general election last August; for the adoption of the constitutional amendment, and the general election for governor, Mr. Neck had a registered white vote of 395, most of whom, of course, were Democrats, and a registered Colored vote of 554, virtually if not all of them.

White, the last one of our Race to sit in that body. This is the opinion of Mal John Roy Lynch, a survivor of the days of Lincoln and Grant, and the last one of our 11 members of the 43rd and 44th congress, who feels that with the division within the Republican party, there is no certainty of the outcome of the November election in Chicago. Should the majority awe one way he hopes the successful candidate will prove to be the right man for the place. This expression brings out the logic of the gentleman from Mississippi, who went to congress with exspeaker Joe Cannon of Illinois. "We need a man," he said, "who will have the courage to attack not only his political opponents, but those within his own party who fail to fight unfair legislation directed toward people of color who helped to elect them. He should use every effort to force the hand of the man who says he is our friend while seeking support, but maneuvers just a little way when vital issues come up. "A record of such action would be valuable information to the voters of their state," he said, "not half as necessary as the intelligence and ability to hold his own in the important committees where that really put through. That will require courage, and above all, independence." Congress a Great School "The American congress," continued Major Lynch, "is a great school where a number of rule intelligence demonstrations of rule intelligence ignorance. It is a wonderful adventure for any man. White's successor may find more information than was present in my time," reasoned the ex congressman, "since he will surely find a great man more democrat." He was not a construction when the country went overwhelmingly Republican. In the South the better element of whites was the voter, who no obstacles passed in the way of qualified candidates who were elected by the voters of both races. This was where, "Why," pointed out the ex congressman, "I was elected as a Republican, not as a Negro. A 16-year-old veteran, smilingly relates that he is one person who has beaten the insurance companies. Of the 10 endowment policies taken out by him, he has collapsed them." The mere matter of years has not dimmed his recollections and one inimitable plunge into politics, which displayed an innate shrewdness. While working at the graph gallery at Natchez, Miss. he was appointed as messenger to take the names of candidates for justice of the peace to the governor at Jackson, Miss. He was also a guest at the列举. Among the lists was the name of a Baptist preacher. The daring apprentice made an impromptu speech to the governor in Jackson, Miss. He was soon after, his name was inserted in the place of the preacher's. His career as a speechmaker and pollinator, which resulted in his election, 1a Self-Educated His formal education was equally accidental, and came about in this manner: During his first employer's place of business was situated next to a white public school. When the owner was away, the young helper would sneak in to the back room and was a member of the class without their knowledge," he chuckled. Except for a few months of plugging at the desk, he never worked at Yankee teacher, his literary training was never supervised. SENATOR BRUCE Blanche K. Bruce, born a slave in March, 1841, in Prince Edward county, Virginia, arose to the high point of Mississippi, representing that state in congress from 1875 to 1881. He was educated with his master's son and a graduate from the school for some time in Missouri and also studied for a short time in Oberlin college, Oberlin, Ohio, the first university to admit a student to come freedmen. In 1869 he came to Mississippi and became a planner. He entered politics, holding a number of small offices, including that of sheriff and justice, and his qualities as a leader were soon recognized by Republican party chiefs and his election to the United States Senate in 1875. He served a full term. Shortly after his term expired he was appointed register of the United States treasury. He died in Washington, D. C. March 17, 1858.

Washington dramatic and social circles were completely carried out by first showing of this classical English English play, Monday night at the auditorium. The return engagement is by popular demand. "Charley's Aunt" carries me back 20 years" says Dr. Alain Locke, who is a graduate of Oxford college, where the scene of the play is laid.

Clarence Muse and his Charleston Dandies company are making, good quality, high-end shows is playing to capacity business at the Palace theater, Dayton, Ohio. The Trouble With Our Orchestras We listen to many of the famous white orchestras with their smoothness of playing, their unique attacks their novelty arrangement of the score and other things that go to make for their music, and we wonder why most of our own orchestras fail to play music as the Nordic brothers do. There is only one answer, and that we must get in line, we are not satisfied with what little we know about music. People put us on the music. Dave Peyton ranchment of the score and other things that go to make for fun and we wonder why most of our own orchestras fail to deliver the Nordic brothers do. There is only one answer, and that is we must get in touch with the singer we satisfied with what little we know about music. People put us on the bus and we well like our endeavors and we begin really to think that we are all the berries. We allow these compliments to hinder our progress, we put out our chests with a feeling of bravado, we loudly sing our own prizes and at the same time we continue to stand in a channel of ignorance, under the fact that we never learn music. The Individual Players individually should continue their studies on the various inquiries they have been asked to answer constantly daily practice just because they are considered good and a few people save over them. We can teach them how to do most All music colleges all over the country are open to our students and we are working on steady jobs that are working on steady jobs should make every sacrifice and endeavor to gain more knowledge of music. Our Orchestras One great trouble with most of our orchestras is loud, blatant playing, and then the musicians them. The one who can blow or bang the loudest is considered a "star" and when they try to outflow one loudness, they are standing over a bunch of players, and allowing such performance, shows that he doesn't know his business. Our musicians will wiley in his mind waving wildly both hands in the air, with his soul unconscious of what is going on close him. Our musicians are poorly put together. In the saxophone section we may find two good musicians who have the tonal qualities, and the third one has a poor instrument, inefficient and with a poor tone, which renders the whole section incapable. In the saxophone section, No. 1 is but the leader, the man in front, who probably does not know any more than his players. Here this condition is evident, and the leader. Leaders should know what they are doing. They should know the theory of their art, do not mute frighteningly, and be ignorant, untrained leaders, who do not even have correct manners and who cannot intelligently impart to the players just what they want. The country raves about Leroy Smith's orchestra and Fletcher Henning's band. They have the goods, they have the same quality of Lopez, Whitman, Paul Ash, Dorothy W. Hearn. They play together, they play even, they sound like an orchestra and no individual stands out. They are the most experienced rendition. Practice and direction has made this efficiency and that is what the majority of our orchestras need. We are in the place in the front ranks, if we continue as we have in the past, the spirit of the time will be shifted off to one side and the only place for us to ply our art will be in the dance hall, the dive and other places of illumination. Clarence White Coming Clarence Cameron White, noted musician and violinist, comes to Chicago this month and will appear in recital at Kimball hall. Mr. White was named a tenor award for distinguished achievement as violinist and composer. He will present a program of standards including six of his own arrangements and three of his own lovers of good music should turn out to give this genius a rousing welcome. Get Rid of Bad Eggs One had egg may ruin the whole case. This applies to orchestras, when a leader finds the agitators, the drunkards, the evil gossipers, the general mischief makers, the hook the hooligan, your organization. Why, it is ridiculous to pay good money to players and have to contend with them and their foolishness. Once again I say to leaders, no matter how good they are, they should be to you, get rid of them if they are addicted to the above habits. Dear Sir, I have read your articles for the past year, and with the few musical organizations that I have been connected with, that I have been used as our literary musical critic. I must say that I have been benefited by the needy uplifting, being written in the educational way. My first knowledge of you was from a remark of you as a teacher, as one who writes, not for himself, but for the benefit of the Racist musician.

I reared my head from out of the simile Soon then my work I viewed with all of the new born Trees in shade. God gave command: "Let there be light!" "Twas then I preamed my wings for Their white-sailed ships plied graces- No timid eaglet from its nest First venturing its wings to test, That wildly wheels at first alarm Back to its sanctuary and harm, That wink that wink that wink. Nor more determined yet to fly. About the words on fire revolved, Volcanic, seething—burst, dissolved Converged, but not to ease my might Then came the floods, and in the steam. My yesteryear the only beam For ages that could penetrate The mists that did obtenrate. A hundred times a million years, Through evolution, chaos,ears, Through evolution, chaos,ears, The dove, I nere' gave up my quest. Huge forests now concealed the earth Where monstrous mammals had their Feroceous beasts, as tree-tops tall, Their bodies large, but brain most small. And birds with teeth and pointed wings, And poison, loathsome, creeping things; Great oceans heaved like mountains And through their vast expanse did ply Strange creatures that fed hungryn On fish or mammal, land or sea. And then he came, the man pigny, So small, he won my sympathy When he presumed by valiant strife, On this wild globe to live his life. But what was of more consequence, This pigmy man possessed some I planned with man to make my fight. But he had dreamed, thick his thick The man had been my choice instead. The man was not the kingly beast That dominates a banquet feast Of modern times and makes loud boast Of his heart, while comrades toast His cleverness, nor credit me With share of his prosperity Man's teeth were large, his mouth was big His gluttony disgraced a pig. He fed on flesh, or fruit or plant; His forehead had a backward slant. Protracting lips and widespread nose; He深藏 beneath a deep set beneath his shaggy brow; And this, to be the truth, I trow, No place upon the man was bare, His flesh was quite concealed by hair, And there was tracked where food game led. He walked just like a quadruped. No other favor need I ask. My skin the material for myask, My skin the material not shirk Without aid I went to work. But soon I learned I'm forced to own That this man's head was mostly Think you he met with a smile my innovations to give trial? Each virgin thought, idea first born, He flouted and laughed to scorn. Nor could I away them in a group nor more than Mars can loop the loop. Determined not to quit my job chose the brightest from the job and then him to fulfill each day. Just how to act and what to say. Though skeptical, yet one by one, They followed slowly, sir and son. That still obtains until this day. Though modern man to heights aspires. He's not much different from his He little thinks or concentrates. A leader scans—and then he apes. I taught man first to walk upright By proving, that in hunt or fight, This posture made for skill and speed. And that these were his greatest need. With patience and by slow degrees I had to scold and curse and rave. Before he'd move from his damp cave And build his hut from plant trees, Then roof it 'o'er with boughs and That sun and air might filter through And this first man with health imbue. My hope leaped high on fond desire, When I taught man the use of fire, And how the vessels for his home, with the stone, he could make from stone. He also learned, as time moved on, His arms to carve from flint and stone. I then knew in him the pride, His flaunting nakedness to hide. For fear their ardor might abate, I then made haste, with a scarce wait, And taught them how to till the earth That grains and legumes might have FLORENCE MILLS BUILDING FUND Chicago and Washington have just guided the Florence Mills memorial fund by appearing in full numbers to the benefits given last week in each city. A great cause, a great program and city played the triple role that wrought success to each occasion. Many to enumerate are the names of those in each city who contributed to these gay midnight performances. Through this column the Florence Mills associates have a vote of thanks to all and all for their charitable services. We deem it in order to mention especially the generous and unfailable support of the organization. His personal management has done more than words can express of appreciation toward the support and founding of the building fund for a Colored performers' BILLY WILLIS WRITES Billy Watts, the tall man, writes that he has gone back to his summer business, that is, his occupation of walking仕。 He employed a computer company of Washington, D.

LEW LESLIE'S BLACKBIRDS Lew Leslie's Blackbirds of 1923 opened this week in New York at the New York Museum of Art, a big hit. Featured in the show is Adelade Hall, who it is said is the logical successor to the late Florence Hall, who was piloted also by Lew Leslie. FACTS By TIM OWSLEY BY TIM OWLEY I am writing this on No. 21, Pennsylvania express, on its way from New York city to St. Louis. I go aboard the train to New Delphia. After the conductor punched my ticket and gave me the bus and check, I settled down about midway of the car and began to walk to my first thought said notify the W. G. W. why you ceased your activity in a house manager Tim Owley Tire Depot **INVITES as a housemate** Tim Owley The truth is, the house closed for the summer season and I am to resume my duties in September. If the word the manager, the owner, the girlfriend, and I believe it can, as I found Josee Duncan, the general manager, an mighty fine fellow. In the meantime I have to visit somewhere. The fact is I am riding the Pennsylvania express to that end now. At this point I wish to say that I have been able to cultivate whose houses in most cases play race attractions for Race people and by Providence alone you may get over it, but you will always think so. So my thoughts wandered back even to my opening date in the early fall of 1927 on this same circuit. And I have to compile data to compile it book and give our facts and figures that some one is responsible for in the government of Pennsylvania. Quick Wellington to shine. The public is daily proving that they are wise to something, because they have ceased to be a part of that which they are interested in and livelihood down to a mere existence. As dumb as I am, I ended my pilgrimage over this circuit when I reached Philadelphia, a little disfigured, but able to think. Up to date more shows have closed and left their performers or actors unpaid and on the mercy of towns here and there to struggle their way homeward. Why? The following few facts will give you an insight into why the past and present season holds the world record for the closing of Race shows playing Race houses for Race audiences. Producers (if there be any except two or three that a certain book gives) try to outdo each other and disregard the actual cost of production, bucking the greatest evil ever known in any show business. Accepting rail jumps that Colonel Ludberg wouldn't take in an airship. Helping the manager to educate his audiences to a dollar top show for a 35-cent admission. Disregarding the moral feeling of the general public to please a few lustful managers and patrons by refusing twirling, wigging mud bodies of women, besides injecting spicy color scenes, words and actions to get laughs and make fun out of somebody that never was funny and neveragers have more money than sense and practice rebuilding shows, and don't even know the promp side of the stage. There are only eight managers who can get by in the U. S. A. Many places for tabs—what have you? Factors, not bull, is my motto from one of the most famous circuits again, facts are coming out. STARS THAT SHINE STARS THAT SHINE By BILLY JONES Mike Jackson, the popular entertainer, had the pleasure of entertaining a crowd tripping across the courtyard at the Ritz Carleton hotel last week. He is also writing a new musical score for a new movie, and he will get credit for his work, as he has written other musical scores and songs for which he did not receive any credit. J. Rosamond Johnson and Taylor Gordon are due for a number of weeks in the Keth houses. The team of musicians, including Aaron and Sambo are working in and around New York and the act is improving every day. The sonny Clay's band members to bring a scandal in Australia, where before Race actors had always enjoyed the hospitality of the men from the South too much freedom and they'll run wild in regard to妾 women. This is why many of the men just on account of the way these ignorant people act, and the good has to suffer with the bad. All due reason to money, but he should get rid of his wife. It remained for Khalil Waters to lift bar in Milwaukee on race actors stopping at white hotels to see swappers placing Race show people's pictures in the papers and Ethel broke into the dramatic page illustrations. Then she applied the newest "Hunt" to the largest in town, and secured accommodations for the troupe and nothing was said about color. Montgomery, well-known stage producer, has opened a fine dancing studio on W. 46th St, off Broadway, and is fitted up with all improvements and the offays. Frank well liked by the theatrical folks and should do well. He has staged some of the big Broadway shows and knows Josephine Baker, with her Black and White revue, through the Edward Pollack agency, will open at Des Wesley. So it does not look like it will return here to open for Lew Leslie's new show in New York. Billy Jones, the popular singer, has the popular singer, Florida has been busy broadcasting the big song "Sugar," "That's My Mammy," "Guy Out of the South," "Empty Arm," "Broadway hit," in Newark, or WOR "Keep Shufflin'" the all-colored show, now at the Elfinge theater, New York, will soon be represented in New York and New York are making arrangements to assemble a company of Colored performers similar tooths one playing. A team of performers will be on the show, which will open in Washington early this summer and go South. LONDON "SHOW BOAT" HITS London, May 3. "Show Boat" had its London premiere at Drury Lane theater tonight and won golden opinion with an approach to unanimity that it will be a worthy successor to the popularity of "Rose Marie" and "The Desert Song." But, with some opinion, however that the show needed cutting and pulling together. Paul Robeson was a personal triumph. The audience was enthusiastic about his "Old Man River." Edith Widener was hard-wired as Capt. Andy were well liked. The production was lavish. PROGRESS By SALEM TUTT WHITNEY I AM PROGRESS! Soon then my work I viewed with pride, From valley, hill and mountainside, Great cities spread, and on the sea, Their white-sailed ships piled graze- as a sea-gull, or the wondrous flight Of star-boats across the face of night. Oh, pride! that doth destruction call! Oh, spirit proud, that baita a fall! Oh, joy! that baita a boat! My progress with that biography! For man, base figment of the sod, Presumed to aggravate his God. Impotent I, to stem his wrath. As ampana in a monsoon's path. Great creed in avalanche He low- ed, and from their inky depths there roared The number of His mighty wrath; Ten man of His gods marked its path; Their lightning clove the pall in Whence, liberated, fall the rain, No light, caressing May-time shower Like, like which coaxes earth to like 'Twas like as though some Cyclop hand Had oceans raised, then poured on earth. A coastal torrent, wind-blown, sped its God-mad force upon man's head. Till peaceful rivers, long enveloped Within their banks, rebellled and unhindered with hellish mihit. To wreak their vengeance upon earth. The seas soon forged beyond their bounds. Unleash their waves like slav'ring bounds. Pursued relentlessly man's trail; His punny strength could not prevail Against their force, nor tears atone For everything that he had done. They tracked man to earth's top-most stone, And there, engulfed his gurgling mean, Oh, sorry error! sorry doom! My work lay 'neath a wave-swept dome. Great that who death all things well, Hold me no part responsible! And then His dove of hope flew by; I knew that God had heard my cry For a great time to mark I now beheld brave Noah's Ark. And when the earth again had drived, With stanch old Noah at my side, Right hopefully, without delay, We were all gone. Until once more upon the sea, Mountain, valley, maidow, lea, Man plied his trades or tilled the stone. And baked homes that rang with mirth. Thought I, since man seemed so content, There's naught my headway can prevent, Vain reckoning; I couldn't see Or know the asininity Of man, when drunken with success, Or measure his conceivedness. Or measure his own deed, own The head of man is now all bane; A granite rock is no more dense Or more devoid of common sense. With full and plenty for his need, He made him a heartless, ruthless thief, Whose jaundiced envy held no brief For other's rights, so then, of course. The he craved, he took by force. There's naught men do my work can Mar, like you useless, senseless war. They murdered, pillaged, cursed and They reviwed, gormidized and died. Then once again, this senseless clod, He built him idols made from stone Or gold or silver, wood or bone; And worshiped these, and openly Reviled a god he could not see. More I prayed for man just one more chance. chance, In mercy for his ignorance, nearest Min. In mercy for his ignorance, And son, God sent to earth His son, I knew my victory was won, Alas! I wish that man had died— The gentle man—they crucified. He was with me with me In loving Christianity; And naught can Progress now impede! Nor wore gaisous, nor gred, Nor hatred, prejudice, nor war, Can halt the movement of my car. For those who would abate my zeal Are crushed beneath my chariot Make way for PROGRESS! Room for ME! My path leads to infinity! Through God I demonstrate my force! While love and wisdom mark my course. Though years have passed, it has been proved that I have so much improved, I often wonder if it wise, the The thoughtless horde, to civilize.

A lady writes to me from some little hamlet down in Florida and says, "Mr. Brown, will you kindly tell me how the author of the book can be an authority on play writing, but would advise you to purchase the following books, study them, and then go to the theater." Dramatic Technique, Price's "Technique of the Drama," and "The Analysis of Play Construction and Dramatic Technique" are the publishers. You will find all the information you desire in these great books. Space does not permit me to go to the theater, so do next week.

The once gay Hungarian capital is going through a prudish phase. Behind her, a long-lost letter of the interior Sztukis guildered a large committee and called for Josephine to do her act. The queen applauded, wearing a feathered hat and with one mad Charleston won a verdict in her favor. The mayor is reported to have called for further honors, but the court denied the undersecretary of state kissed her hand and solemnly granted her, in the name of the government, perjury before the people of Budapest. HITTING OVER THERE Alberta Hunter, who has been appearing in vaudeville abroad for several months, has accepted the role of Queenie of Quebec.

TIMELY TOPICS By SALEM TUTT WHITNEY Mother It is entirely fitting and proper the aside that we may pay homage and the mothers of men. But the heart should be Mother's Day It is entirely fitting and proper that one day of the year should be set aside that we may pay homage and do honor, to the queens of the world—the mothers of men. But every day should be mother's day and every man's heart should be a mother's throne. Jesus, mother and home, the sweetest words of any language, clime or tongue. And to all who believe in the Savior or mankind, the three are inseparably entwined, or have come out in sympathy among the boy who has never known the infinite love of good mother. Motherhood is the highest office to which woman can attain. No woman has quite fulfilled the mission with which God entrusted her until she has become a mother. To mothers is charged the sacred duty of perpetuating man upon earth, that becomes the sacred duty of every love, cherish and honor all those above all other earthly possessions, above themselves and next to their God. Mothers are endowed with an infinite capacity for loving and a hyperphysical capacity for suffering. Too often children are thoughtless, selfish, ungrateful, impatient and intolerant. Forgetful of the time when Salem T Whitney patient and into they drew their Forgetful of the hours, the days, the they were impotent to do for them upon the loving care and the eternal. To neglect a mother is an unpardon do it. We have met mothers upon gentle and breaking hands about of their children. And at the dren had plenty and enough to wash hereafter have to answer let it not be Oh, glorious woman! We pay thee full home Undefeated ye answer with laurel we crown Return to thy God with Just as good and as pu Death, with its menacing shadow, been given to us to know of a lightningbolt, will strike us do us no more by memory. A sudden theatrical profession by the sudden Davis, Parce was a tenor soloist known for a lightningbolt the tured singer with several of our "tured Davis" was a dancer of unzenth under the direction and exploit who invented the celebrated dance of the-top and "out-of-the-trenches." Word has just reached us that Slim and well liked of our younger set of children in the Harlem hospital. "Honor to those to whom honor is due is due to W. C. Handy, rightly noun 2000 enthusiastic patrons who attend Carnegie hall for the tured singer who they saw fit to him jealousy and competition often comes to whom we know it is right delinquency by heaping honors upon him" and "St. Louis" blues have not be equaled. Long live "the Father of his future." "Mellow Music" is for address at 86 City Address L. Bayard Whitney. Forgetful of the hours, the days, the weeks, the months and the years when they were impotent to do for themselves, when their very lives depended upon the loving care and the eternal vigilance of their mothers. To neglect a mother is an unpardonable crime. Yet there are those who do it. We have met mothers upon the road who have come to us with tearful eyes and breaking hearts, to inquire after the welfare and the whereabouts of their children, and that these children had plenty and enough to waste. Of all the sins for which they may hereafter have to answer let it not be a sin against our mothers. Oh, glorious women! Ye mothers of men! We pay the full homage, we laud thee, and when Undefeated ye answer the inevitable call, Undefael we crown thee "the bravest of all." Return to thy God without censure or blame, Just as good and as pure and as sweet as came. "Mellow Musings." Death, with its menacing shadow, is ever before about us. It has not been given to us to know about, with the unnerving satisfaction of a lightning holt, will strike us down and the world we love will know us no more but by memory. A sudden gloom has been cast over the entire theatrical profession by the sudden death of Percy Colston and "Toots" who invented the exploitation of J. Lubrille Hill. It was "Toots" known for his work with some of the leading quartets. He was also a featured singer with several of our leading musical comedy productions. "Toots" Davies was a dancer of unquestionable ability. He reached his zenith under the exploitation of J. Lubrille Hill. It was "Toots" invented the celebrated steps now popularly known as "over-the-top" and "out-of-the-trenches." Word has just reached us that Slim Henderson, one of the most promising and well liked of our younger set of comedians, is now lying at the point of death in the Harlem hospital. Small hope is entertained for his recovery. "Honor to those to whom honor is due." There is no mistaking that honor is due to W. C. Handy, rightfully named "The Father of the Blues." The 2,000 enthusiastic patrons who attended Mr. Handy's wonderful recital at the Harlem Theater were only paid a well-deserved honor. But it is to their credit that they saw fit to pay him the honor before his death. Jealousy, jealousy and competition often conspire to make us withhold honor from those to whom we know it rightfully due, but once they are dead we know have nothing to fear, and we try to make compensation for our injuries. We have not been able to compensate for their "this" and "St. Louf" blues have not been surpassed and they have yet to be equated. Long live "The Father of the Blues," may success ever attend his future! "Mellow Musings" is for sale at 666 St. Nicholas Ave., Apt. 32, New York city. Address L. Baynard Whitney, Price $1.15.

LINCOLN PERRY'S LETTER Los Angeles, Calif.—After a little silence I can't begin with the usual, but I can begin with the pen on an original story has been the cause of my silence. But I will turn my pen in an effort to unfold some of the news that I have let pile up on me. I can picture world things have not been so favorable. The first happening at Warner Brothers' studio, where a $13,500 that was intended for the movie was handed over to white extras outside. Then it is rumored that M. G. M. casting department has been ordered not to hire any more Negroes, which I hope is just a rumor, and about something definite in my next article. After next week I think the activities of the production of the "Snowboat" at Universal studio will cease. At Tiffany-Stahl production, the director, is expected back from New York to unfold the truth of the case. At Tiffany-Stahl production I am expecting the option on my contract to ignore and am an awakening vender of this film, which is awaiting the extraordinary feat of selling my story which I wrote especially for Carolyn Snowden, a Farina type, and a high-pockets with a white cast, to a comedy. Raymond Turner is back to work at Educational studio. And as a whole the question is the "Show Boat." A group of Pantages circuit, says he will take his at the Y. M. C. A. and thinks he will try the sunshine of California for the summer. Earl Davis, also a Race boy in a white jacket at Orpheum, will be the star of Carolyn Snowden sponsored a successful benefit for the N. A. V. A. P last week that was quite a treat and well patronized. Among the successes were Mildred Washington, Henry Starr Gus Jones and many others; Carolyn and her revue, with Baby Mack, and her show, with Baby Mack, and beautiful chorus, supported by Harvey Brooks and the Cotton Club band, was the hit of the show, with Clarke Kennedy and his band, taking their usual honors. K. Rramer and Manager created the use of the Lincoln theater. Cry Baby Godfrey can be found doing his on the Avenue. Stomp the stage, which means the Carlsbad which means the Crawfish, Essex and Washington Ave. If there is anyone that you want to write and don't know their address, send it to the Carlsbad means the Crawfish 286 Central. Miller and Slayer's "Dixie Brevities" was received in Los Angeles with the same reception accorded Doc Brown and the get-acquainted dance, returned the courtesy of profession and people by opening on May 15 and presenting one of the fastest, cleanest shows. The chorus opened the show in a style that was very pleasing, to be followed by Slayer and Amon Davis in a bit that was well done. Lottie pleases and flowers for their singing of "Dawning" that was well sung; Then Galle De Gaston and Quintard appeared in a bit that proved vee the maker; and Slayer did "Dream Kisses" in a way that was very pleasing with the chorus because it was just a bunch of sweet dreaming with that sensational last eight barge. Lottie Gee was very good in "Diana," also Edith Spencer with the chorus. She smiled with the chorus. But when Leroy Broomfletts and Aurora Green got through selling their fast line of extraordinary dancing and sweet music, the Amon was a novelty in his monologue because its very unusual out here. But I think the box office will be surprised by the surrounding Gallie De Gaston and Broomflet and partner. I have not guessed a bad one yet, because this country is creating things they have never seen before and artistic eccentric team dancing are two, Mr. Kramer and Mgr. Carpenter, seem well pleased. Curtis White Johnson's direction, handled the music well. Fade Without Memorial The South Park commission Tuesday voted to name a park in honor of the late Congressman Martin B. Browne, a 2000 community center to stand in the park as a memorial to the veteran Illinois representative. All of this memorial was erected on the death of the Mr. Madden, yet Chicago has neglected since the death of Jean Point DesSable, more than a century ago to erect a memorial to his honor. The memorial has been voted by the city or any of its park systems to erect a statue, much less a million for community projects, the sort of project pioneer, to whom Chicago is deeply indebted. Slowly the citizens are awakening to the neglect of their Organizations are weekly being formed, taking as their name "DesSable." The constant hearing of this heroes' stories is aired in aired story—a fitting memorial in a prominent location to DesSable. It is hoped that all the citizens will band themselves in one massive organization to wage a fight for the honor this pioneer.

Advice to the [Note: My new address is Tyson Hosel, Note, Apt. 124, Chicago, Illinois.] Dear Princess: I have been a regular reader of your wonderful advice, so now come to you. I am a man, 25 years of age, and was married in 1918. My wife and I had to take a long month, then she went home to become a mother. I did all that I could by furnishing her with money, but it seemed that nothing I did besides the money of her. She used the money in helping her to own people. Later, I went to the rescue of my people, concerning property which later came into my possession. This displaced my wife and her family, so I became disgusted and�고. Writing a� Sincerely. I have lost everything through lawsuits. I have even lost my dear mother. I did not want to marry when I did, because I had not met enough different women, but my mother wanted me to go to the world. I had a good friend of woman, who had shown me in every way that she loves me and has proved it. Not only have I helped her and her family, as her husband is an old woman, but I have saved the man, stayed in towns which I did not like just to be near her. I love her but would not think of asking her to leave her husband, though I would go anywhere with me. If she was willing, but my my asking her. Please advise me—only Town. Your marriage is a failure. There is no need of heating around the bush when the truth is so easily told. It does improve the quality of life. It does less in marriage comes from, if it develops, then there is every reason for separation and divorce, agree with the family and the people of the country that there is no place for sentiment or sympathy in the present age of mafrimony. It is cold, hard facts and action in other words, produces a good or get up and so on. I also do it. Married people are subject to becoming attractive and attracted just the same as single ones. The state of the country is the same as the state of life, and the most important characteristics that are imperceptible before. Sometimes they are good, often very bad, but out they come however. It is the way we do things according to what you say. The other married woman showed the good ones, and thereby caused you to love, don't blame you. I preach the unfeasible status of being without any you know. You no matter who is. When a man is willing to do all he can to support his wife and she proves unappreciative, then I say get some one else. This applies to all unhappy wives, too.

I am very nervous and have been taking treatments. She fusses and hags all the time. I simply can't let her live with me all the time. She makes my mind miserable. I have a little girl who is 6 years old. Both of them are like babies. I have a young man friend, who seems to love me, but as soon as he comes to the house my mother and his kid start to walk to the town then it become nervous talk loudly and this gets on his nerves. He thinks I don't love him, but it is my mother. She has never lived in a city before, always having lived down home. Naturally she embarrasses me to death. I over-expreed the impact I have to take care of her because she can't work in a city, she is only used to the cotton fields. She wants to go back down home as she lived there for 20 years. I am engaged to marry this woman and want to mother to look where, as she lived with my first husband and I and kept us in confusion all the time. She has been with me two years. I was happy before she came to live with me. She is not mean, but hags all the time. I cannot stand it because tell me what to do. Worried. It seems so strange that mothers get to be such a nuisance after some children grow up and some one tells them they are not the same as they do, but they are not as a criticize: it's mother's say no. Even if the mother is wrong, the child should be able to find toleration and overlook their need for development, and they know that mother is entitled to her likes and dislikes, just the same as you are. If she does not like the North, she certainly has no idea of what they know anything about a city: knows only to-ton fields, and that she causes you much embarrassment because she is not the most important to the section fields of the south have started more than one doctor, lawyer and other men and women of note on their way to prominence. So get that fixed. If children go to the home with the toward their mothers that you have, regardless they would all be better off down in the cotton fields or some other country. A lot of the children are commandment, "Honor the father and mother"—and will always be if you can love anyone, you can surely love them. They are the cause of your ex-mother, "Honor the father and mother"—and you and your mother are never ashamed of you, and would die for you, even now. Forive her for her friends and unk�erched life. She has to be a blame for field "Perhaps she does not and as you say, fuss, Maybe you are nervous. That's all right. She is your own life and only your young man when you are engaged to will not be half as kind as she has been. Do not let him know that you will take to the home. I think you know anything about a city: knows only to-ton fields, and that she causes you much embarrassment because she is not the most important to her likes and dislikes. You will find the fault there Dear Princess: I am a stepmother with three step-children, 12, 13 and 11 years old. I am a children of children, a problem and must be corrected. Their father is at work so that leaves the correcting to me. I have two neighbors with children, one of them, a children of children, calling them names and threatening to knock their brains out, while the other speaks to hers in ordinary tones. I am a family member of children. I am a method should use: Please advise me, as I know little about children.—A Steismother. My parents are human even if bad, so should be spoken to decently and treated the same way. There is no way to make a child odient, a buusing, if you can force the action of their son for a time, but after a while there comes a rebellion. Your step-children are not enough to do it but must be compulsion of them if it does them as pals, rather than little folks, you will be a stepmother usually gets a slam to start with, but I feel that she can be diplomatic enough to almost take the way of being very very very very very. Forget everything only harmony and put every effort forth to have that.

Each Nurses Secret Hope That She Won't Be Forgotten The relentless night of time is pushed backward for just one year. A small hut extremely clean kitchen appears as a background. A woman whose house has been in a long way in her home is seated at a table. In her hand she holds so before the show of her friends, her door, she bid the visitor enter. "I sent for you because I know that I can trust you," she explained to the other. "I was very happy, and had been exchanged," I had a letter from my boy this morning, and I do not know what may have been to me. "I am so far from the neighborhood to me, I can't get to me," she added. The melody of the caller trembled as the music was handed to her. She had often read letters to this woman, letters which told of the hardships her situation was undermined in her life. Her heart ached in advance, for she hated to always be the breaker of bad life. The woman twisted the corner of her apron in her hand, unconsciously, and the way she was going to her house. The caller seemed a little bit slow in drawing the letter from the envelope. She too seemed to be low in mind. When little was escaped, her looked at the woman sitting expectantly beside her and began to read. Following and tender wishes to the best of the most sweetest of mothers on Mother's Day. The caller was interrupted by the other. The callers of the women slowly down the cheeks of the woman. "My boy, my boy, how did he know that it was Mother's Day?" she asked. The curtain is drawn again, and the next scene is the time at hand. A few hours later, a pair of pups of the out of view, a man counters into the place and inks of a stand near the reader of a year ago. He anxiously scans the event. He has a few hours of attendant who asks politely his wishes. "I want to get a card for my real sweethort," he explained. The last returned with a book of assorted cards. Leaves were turned hurriedly and the prospective customer with a shrug declared that he was before him. He was wished to wait a card for my mother," he said—"my sweethort for all time, one whose love for you will not change. One image of an happy, the other, imprisoned and sad. Circumstances and environment were the things that made him்جுக் கூடாது. But there were just the same. Each was remembering mother—remembering the woman who had passed through the shadow of the house and the other who would be going to her boy when everyone else failed him. Sunday the whole world will observe Mother in the room. No matter what your place in life may be, do not forget mother. Even those who have passed beyond the vast still watch over their development. They are so securely nurturing the hope that she will not be forgotten. Do not disappoint her. "Just a smile will cheer her When a kindly word will help her When a flown will make her When a sunshine on the waters When a wind in the sea So spread sunshine and its cost Surely is not so very high."

THE TREND of FASHION THE HOUSE DRESS To look well and to have smart, colorful costumes for the house is an essential to the wardrobe of the aristocratic housewife as is her impeccable street costume. For her home is herமை-dom and there she reigns supreme. Few are fortunate enough to have a maild to hear the brunt of the dirty work, which makes it necessary for the lady of the house to be the maid of all work as well. The popular Hoover a pron will be found advantageous for the usual morning clean-up work, as it is reversible and may be worn on either side. At first Hoover aprons came in white bronded only. 3 Now they may in quite a gamut of colors, harmonizing or contrasting with the modern color schemes that are given even under the rainbow. To freshen up after the morning drudgery, use a large napkin as a unique and attractive in design as some of the most sophisticated napkins, as beautiful and embroidered or applied motifs offer many options.

SOME INTERESTING FACTS FOR HOUSEWIVES SATURDAY, MAY 12, 1928 SOME THE BEAUTY OF A HOUSE WITHIN Changing Styles Decree Different Interior Decorations There are changing styles in interior decoration just as there are in gardens and though the changes come about more gradually, we would all realize how far we have advanced from the fashion of 20 years ago if we suddenly wilt line up with the heavy, ornate living rooms of that period. --- For the last 10 years, ever since some one discovered that simplicity was a well-known skill and furbables—we have been living in a vast waste of neutral wells, gray, tan, putty and ivory. It seemed that owners could go no further. These plain colors were popular for the same reason that silence is a relief from the steam and noise. People progressed more and more people became expert in the use of design and color, and naturally the walls, the large room, were the field for their expression. Fashions Change No fashion can live long, however, if it can become monotonous, so when some in a small room use the same color, the same style of overstuffed furniture, the same chantepurement lamp shades and velour draperies in its living room the style of the dead weight of its own monotony. Then design came back at the invitation of the artists in home furnishing, and every day it waxes bolder and more lively. We have discovered that for wallpaper and light-colored background is splendid for the pattern on a pattern to stand against. Paper after paper in the new lines show lovely passages. Flesh, pink. Flesh blue like the skin; the skin sea water, gray, cream, ivory, orchid, a multitude of soft shades in rich velvety textures, as the backgrounds for the windows, lone vine-like stems and slender ones. These are bedroom papers, and transform a mundane little room to a marvelous tale. It is no wonder they are pompous. For the Parlors For the downstairs rooms the new sunscreens often resemble a glorified floral pattern in these more dignified rooms too, but they are heavier and more of a chinchilla than the usual color of a chinchilla on deeper colored backgrounds also, tans and brown. dull burn orange, grays of brown, or green. the good color here seems to be a dark pink is the popular bedroom paper with some patterns, the design completely black. in these the colors are often enriched by considerable black, which always tends Mentime we are enjoying the beauty and interest of the clear-cut, bold design and color of present-day room decorations. With such papers as a background other furnishings may be simple and inexpensive without any feeling of lareness or drain monotony. There are, of course, the copies of the enly Colonial papers always on the market, and we will always have with us conventional two-toned tans and grays, for there is a constant demand for them for certain places. But the compromise, the blurred, indistinct, softly colored paper, is absent. We find either clear, definite color or frankly a texture background of tans or grays. Wallpapers now carry a definite decorative responsibility in the plan of the room and the new patterns show that the designers have responded ably to this responsibility. Sewing Machine Hints trap a strip of cloth tightly around the machine to keep it in place and neatly keep pins and needles loose. Fasten one of those thin extension pins under the table or the machine and slip on one of cotton and silk on this—you will find it a great convenience. After oiling your machine fasten a narrow strip of absorbent cotton around the ear, the point where it grips the needle is the finger of stains on the fabric you are sewing. Peppy Pointers Empty the carpet sweeper on a damp room to prevent the dust from scattering. Wax the bottoms of your rockers and they will not make marks on the hardwood floors. Wax joints on the light felt hat will usually disappear if rubbed gently with an emery paper. A piece of rubber tubing over the piece of rubber foams is a great protection against slipping pieces from glasses and dishes. AIRING THE CLOTHING When you are ready to air the family wearing apparel, take the hammock standard from the porch and place it on each garment of the yard. Place each garment on its hammock and pend this from the top bar of the standard. You will find it more satisfactory when you hang it and less labor, because the hammers will work and you will not have the annoyance of hangers sliding together as they do on the line. FRESH AIR IS NECESSARY Busy housewives get into the habit of staying in the house for too much of mind, claiming they have to work and state of mind, wise. At least try to go daily to market and get that much outdoor exercise that will feel better for this little change and probably save money by better buying. THE GOOD FROM THE BAY One housewife uses this clever way of distinguishing her best handkerchiefs from those of everyday use. When she handles handkerchiefs into squares and her better ones into triangles. Then she can just what she wants, day or night. HOUSEHOLD UNIT Housewives like that new flat extension cord for the radio, the electric heater lamp, photograph and electric fan, the stove, the light under the rugs. The rubber bedding very soft, it gives, thus avoiding the wear on the rugs. It is decidedly convenient on the floor, the annoyance of tripping over a "peeky" extension is eliminated. BOUDOIR BULLOW A pillow that will fit into the most square of ashes of a large square square of ashes of a large tactile yellow fits only in the center, leaving the rest of the surface is suitched in metal thread. COLORFUL WALL HANGING COLLALLY HANGING A wall hanging that hangs from a counter to an entire room is an Indian print which features the "free of life" motif, decorating it particularly rich and glowing. GUEST ROOM ACCESS A set of tiny little books with leather covers proves most mishandling. When opened the books show not reading music but needles, pins, buttons, in fact all the necessary equipment for the guest. HAVE IT DYED If the rug has faded but otherwise is good, it will pay to have it dyed a plain dark color. A small bright rug, with a plain color or a dark rug, will take away any somber look. GOOD LINENS There is nothing quite so telltale as cheap grades of linen, both in appearance and wear. By watching for sales, the beer quality may be bought at a greater rate than we have cause to rejoice in our bargain. MILK BOTTLES After washing milk bottle never turn inside down to drain.

Borax added to the water in which pudding lags are washed will greatly facilitate the process. Teaching You the Right Way to Oil the Floors Oiling is a floor finish much used for kitchenens, pantries, bathrooms and porches. If the floor is of pine the oiling should probably be more satisfactory than varnishing. Housewives like the oil finish because it is economical, being very durable; it is easy to apply and is where much walking is done; it is easy to apply and easy to keep clean—a well kept oil floor is really proof against varnish spots. Botted linen oil, usually used for this purpose and if combined with turpentine will penetrate the wood better-in fact, for pine floors the oil and turpentine will penetrate the wood will be found especially satisfactory. Make sure the floor is clean, dry and free of dust. You will also apply the oil heightens of the grain of wood, after which rub it in with a soft oil cloth and with a dry cloth remove any dust. If the floor is not been oiled before it will readily absorb two conts of oil. Polish the floor with a weighted brush covered with carver or some heavy material. Rinsing Is Important Soap that contains impurities when coated with starch will yellow the clothes. If any element is used to loosen the dress, the oil is not rinsed out well, the heat of the iron will weaken the filer of the clothes, and the oil will clear, clear clean if they are not rinsed until the water is clear. White clothes are gray if light if not rinsed very thoroughly. Cleansing Helps Black suede shoes will clean beautifully if you brush off the dust, then steam it in a deep water until they turn a deep purple. A coat should be frequently brushed. A coat should be shaken out or well brushed. If it is not brushed or dried slowly away from the fire. If the black velvet hat requires cleaning rub it briskly with damp salt, then brush it all out with a stiff brush. Vestes and neckwear of white georges can be satisfactorily houndered, but in the elaborate types dry cleaning may give better results because this method does not wash well. Wear can be nicely cleaned by rubbing powdered starch into it, and after several hours brushing it and shaking it. CARE OF RUBBER PLANT The rubber plant is very easily taken care of. With a basin of warm water and a small amount of leaves of rubber plant with a clean sponge or soft cloth; then go over again. This will harm water and a little olive oil. This is not necessary, and does not harm them in any way. FOR THE BUSY WOMAN The busy woman who spends much time with her phone app will large leather engagement calendar marked off with the days of the month and with spaces for engagements for special events. The bottom of the pad is taken up with an index telephone numbers. THE CAUSE OF A HEADACHE THE CAUSE OF A HEADACHE Nobody knows what causes a headache. The gas oven burners and several other burners are going full tilt without having ventilation in the room. The air prevents the oven from baking properly, but air there should be. One lighted burner is sold to consume as much air as four adults. HOW TO WHITEN CLOTHES Clother are apt to become a poor color by continued indoor drying. They can be washed with a damp cloth overnight in a tilt of cold water, to which is added a heaping teaspoonful of cream as tarin. WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN It is sometimes wise to sort clothing to be mended while ironing. When you notice something is put on the clothes-horse. Then that collection can be carried straight to the mending basket. INK STAINS ON WOOD Equal parts of linened oil and vinegar applied to the stains on wood cloth will effuse the oil.

They have become, instead, offices of the housewives, workshops, where everything is compact, step and laborious. It has become a more not only illuminated efficiency, but for actual pleasure in doing the once drenched "kitchen work." The modern kitchen is very apt to be used in the kitchen of the doors of handcraft the linoleum as rich and colorful as old tile; it has warmly tiled walls, with rubber curtains at its doors. The walls are lavender or green. Even the howls and pots and pans hold color and brightness. Begin With Floor In planning, such a kitchen the floor is the place to begin. What lasts longest, needs least upkeep, looks best, cleansest and lends most cheer and color? The answer to this may be of four main components, of a problem, prepared plastic compositions, or rubber. In the two its durability and richness of color and ease of cleansing linoleum will doubtless be the first choice, especially since it is non-absorbent and is therefore sanitary. It is also very resilient, and is therefore strong on the side of its life. It can possibly go through it, it is also warm. By waxing it is easily kept clean and takes on a beautiful soft luster. With the floor covering and its color chosen, comes the questions of walls. These may beையில் to be in the washable oil packs covered with the washable wall-covering that is to be had in over shade and color and design. An important factor in the well-planned kitchen is the lighting, both natural and artificial. With the wind-ability of the room, the question of curtains that can bring such a light is often of charm when rightly chosen. Since in every kitchen there is the steam that necessarily comes from cooking broiling, stewing, it is advisable that these curtains be of some material either rub be nonabsorbent and easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Material of this kind that is not absorbent is the texture, rich in color, and is not absorbent purchased by the yard. This may be gathered and ruffled as desired and may be fitted or plained on plain tones to bleed with, with. Electricity Great Help To further make make of the kitchen an ideal place, you are small electric grids with three compartments so that toast may be made, bacon and eggs prepared at the stove, and the numerous small table stoves with two burners and even a small oven to put over one burner only. Waffle irons may be used to make the supper dish, while even the tea may be made in an electrically operated teapot. In fact the modern 8x10 kitchen has a large room for room dish, room of old times. Well equipped and planned with as much painstaking care as the modern business woman gives to the kitchen, it is equally as effective an office and provide a great deal more leisure and charm. Electric Flashes Never operate any electrical device on a switch when the hands are wet. Dont attempt to mend broken electronics or damage your device. odge as to what should be done. Use only one hand in switching on or off electric lights. Keep the other hand free from any possible metallic contact. Don't try to wire lamps with enormous lengths of wire tacked around doorways and surburbs. It is cheaper to use a wire rod instead, where the lamp is desired. These long lengths of exposed wire are dangerous. VERY IMPORTANT Clean glasses mean a great deal to the person with poor eyesight, especi- gate vision, and accurate vision. A small bottle containing half ammonia and half waler is a convenience, as a drop or two on clean cloth will make the glasses clean. STAINED COAT COLLAR A spoonful of ammonia in which enough salt has been placed to make a muggy mixture will remove all stains from coat collars and take away that hardened, shiny appearance. SCRATCHES ON FURNITURE If you should find some ugly scratches on your furniture, you should gently, very lightly with indine and then touch them with colorless shellac. It will cause the ugly scratches to vanish. TELEPHONE TABLE That very necessary and useful article, the telephone, is conveniently located in the office, but it is also visible that has three large compartments underneath for the directories. MUST BE CLEAN Be certain that the hardwood floors are perfectly clean before either waxing or not removed they will show up very plainly under the polished surface. ANOTHER SAFETY DEVICE A small bell tipped around the neck of a dog is wearing cotton is novel precaution and warning, but certainly a safe one.

The round centerpiece should be inserted from the center to the edges to avoid buckling. If white silks or satins are to be kept for some time, wrap them in dark blue paper or cloth to prevent their yellowing. Try Printed Cotton for Changing the bedroom into spring apparel is relatively simple when a curtain is crisp printed cotton. There are so many quality designs of charming colors in spring apparel that you can more. Provided the mistress has a home has a great deal of leisure and likes to make furniture, house, these sets are not difficult, requiring little attention in the matter of binding and pipings.

Saturday's game went into the loss column when an error paved way for the Chicago winning run and Sunday the team blew up in the ninth of the first game, and again on Tuesday after having a comfortable margin on the home club the visitors took the air and when they landed the Giants had scored six runs. It took just one inning for Jones, Sheppard and Meridith to make some miscues and the Giants to mix the Birmingham mistakes up with some hits. The second game Sunday was a burlesd or hurled, Poindexter holding the champs to two hits, but losing. The team would have been won by the visitors. The Birmingham owners and the manager protested all games that Birmingham claims belongs to Memphis. Until a ruling is received from Judge Hueston on Rogers the games can't officially come. The Birmingham club also tested the 17 men in uniforms on the Giants' bench Saturday, Monday and Tuesday. This will be taken up with the league president as the rule calls. The big league ball. Six runs went across in the fifth. In the seventh, Jefferies, who had relieved Willis, walked three, made a balk and C. Williams' double in passes, giving Chicago their four runs. ```markdown ``` Monday's Game Monday the Birmingham club went into the lead by some heavy stick work, but then they pulled the same old stum of allowing the Chicago club to stage one big inning in which they totaled five runs. The Barons came back to tie the score in the eighth and to win but in the tenth were the drive Miller off the mound and then connected with Foster enough to total three runs in that inning and win their first league game.

CLARKE Hampton Institute, Va., May 8.—The seventh annual intercollegiate track and field meet sanctioned by the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association, who are members of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, will tip off at 12:30 o'clock Saturday, May 12, on Armstrong field. There is little doubt that the meet will far surpass those of previous years. More athletes are expected to be present, more trophies are being offered and more events have been added. The crowning events of the afternoon will more than likely be the relays. Lincoln and Union are sending first relay teams to offer competition to the foursourme representing Hampton. C. F. E. William has introduced that Howard P. Drew, one of the joint holders of the world's record for the 100-yard dash, will probably be the starter for the day. The colored three-year-old arrived early in the week. The list is long. Lincoln is going to try hard to win the meet. The meet will be hard to win.

The team won the best cities in the Midwest came to the Windy City bearing their own expense. They came for the love of the game. One of the players are professional and the other lost the money of loss money to leave home, but they came. They demonstrated to the public that sports for sports' sake is still in the veins of the American man. They also demonstrated that no matter how much money you invest in sportsmanship always prevailed and these volleyball players knew how to take defeat in the proper way. In other words they never lose, with great intensity, and fail to teach him how to graciously acknowledge the other fellow's victory. HAMPTON stages its seventh annual C. I. A. A. track and field championships Saturday. Hampton's mile relay team has an eye on the Robert S. Abbott trophy, but will find plenty of competition offered by Lincoln, Tuskegee and other teams. When the Liberty Life trophy left Chicago, some one whispered to us that Morehouse would get the first leg on it. They were postive, so much so, they wanted to bet. But Morehouse didn't. When you read the games over you will find that Tuskegee will keep the trophy there for one year. The Hampton and Tuskegee meets are becoming a national institution. More people should come forward, that is more business houses, and donate trophies. If you ever went and looked over the field of entrants, see the keen rivalry for these cups, the good sportsmanship that prevails, you would help the good cause along. Certainly Charles Williams and his assistants at Hampton and Coach Abbott and his assistants at Tuskegee deserve more praise than what they get heaped upon them. AND as the National league race gets under headway for the first half it looks like St. Louis is going to be a tough customer. They won eight games before we were stopped, then it took Kansas City to do that. The race has just started and no position has been set. Chicago has a good team, but to meet Kansas City, St. Louis, Detroit and the Cubans before we can begin to figure on what Management is sure to be troublesome when the weather gets warmer and Memphis and the Cubans are 50 per cent stronger than last year. PILES bunion derby runners have been here and gone. You will find the story in another column. We call your attention to little T. Josephsen, who is 50 years old, what is left of the original 1993. There won't be 15 left at the finish, but this 15-year-old kid is determined to be the winner. His father is now with a broken but having been hit by a truck after Cotton started in the race. He has no backing. His brother is his trainer, and he is the public dogger him. If he passes through your town give him some help. --- --- --- --- SATURDAY, MAY 12, 1928 CAGO k and Field Hampton for C. I. A. A.

Freeman in 4-Round Win From Wilson By HAMLET KID ROWE Minneapolis, Minn., May 4—Billy Freeman won from Red Wilson (white) in four rounds at the Kenyan Open, where he was Freeman's first start since his recent illness which forced him to cancel his bout with 'Tommy Havel' in 2012. He has his same impressive battle, but his blows did not have the snap and kick to them that was so noticeable in his former fights, showing the relevance of two months from the ring. In the first round Freeman hummered Wilson around the ring, forcing him to cover up to avoid pumps. Freeman would connect with Wilson's jaw time and again, but Wilson refused to go down, though he did not miss anything but kiss the canvas. Freeman won the first three rounds by a big margin, but had the misfortune to receive a left to the jaw in the second round, and no count. Getting up before Referee Barton could start counting, Freeman began using his left with the left hand, and then he ran on the run. The fourth and last round went to Wilson on account of the knockdown. The St. Paul Pioneer Press, Wilson's home town, the Minneapolis Daily Star, gave the decision to Freeman. The Minneapolis Tribune was adverse, though the paper conceded Freeman was not guilty. Walter Kid Palmer, the Tacoma Terror, who is Freeman's stablemate, will meet Honeyboy Conroy May 10 at the Minneapolis Tacoma Stadium, card featuring Billy Light and Clyde Hulk, Walk Miller's famous welter.

When it comes to breaks the Stars had a full share, Alfonso doubling in the second and scoring when Perez hit a high fly to right which would have ordinarily been an easy chance for Mason, but the strong wind which blew from the southwest carried the ball over the right field fence for a home run. In the third, Alfonso gled and Alfonso, the hitting tool in the first game, bumped a high fly to right which once again looked like an easy chance for Mason, but a sudden gust of wind carried the ball right field fence for a home run. The Lincoln Giants scored two in the fourth when George Carr hit his second home run of the season over Scaled walked and stole, scoring on Spearman's single to center.
