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.

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."

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.

MAIL RADIO T.O.B.A. 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.

Park THE CHICAGO DEFENDER PLAN HUGE TRIBUTE PLAN HUGE TRIBUTE Hollywood, Cal.—Friends and former associates of D. W. Griffith are arriving from the most distant sections of the country to be on hand Tuesday, May 8, when a huge testimonial is to be tendered Griffith on the occasion of his 20th anniversary and Griffith began his directorial career with the old Biograph studio on W. 14th St. New York city. His first half a reel in length, was known as the "Dolly series." Since that time Griffith has contributed some of the most artistic productions the screen has made, including "The Birth of a Nation," "Broken Blossom," "Way Down East," "Intolerance," and "America," among others, planned for the week at a theater. Griffith's most recent picture, "The Drums of Love," which will be presented on the screen of the United Artists theater, Eric Von Stroheim, Donald Crisp, William Beaudline and other directors who began their careers under the tutelage, will assist an actors' committee at the tribute performance. 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

L. Baker of Clark university, Atlanta, won from Ross of Fisk, Nashville, in the finals of the singles. Ross triumphed in each of the three grueling sets. In the second and most thrilling of the sets the games deuced several consecutive sets. 5—6, 10—8 and 13—6. Ross and Baker of Clark worked themselves up to the position of opponents for honors in the singles through a field of players, represented by Tuskegee institute.

Mathews in two successive sets with scores 5—6, 6—1, respectively, while Thomas of Tuskegee humbled Nivens of State at 6—4, 6—0.

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. The Stars kept right on banging Winters' offerings, Herrera and Oms singles, the Alfonso and Oms tails hit the left, scoring Fernandez in left out registered Oms and Solls' one base drive brought in Alfonso. The Lincoln Giants opening with a circuit walltop to right center. Gray walked and Jenkins sacrificed. Mason's long tilt to right pushed Gray to third. Carr, the Giants' second baseman, the runner at first while Scaled Riggs walked and scored, scoring Carr. The Lincoln Giants had a lightning change up to right hunch when the ball struck the error and bats scored five runs for the Carr. The second game was a one all for three innings. In the fourth the fourth innings, Rufus Rufus and Oms. Alfonso's safe bunt, Fernandez single, scoring Herrera and Oms and Spearman's short passed her permitting Alfonso to score two runs in the game, scoring two runs on Barso double, Oms' two base smack, scoring Barso and Fernandez single, scoring Oms. The Lincoln Giants staged a vally in the infield. Alfonso bobbing up from almost nowhere and staring off a hit and two runs with a phenomenal play, Gray walked and Jenkins singled, Inglis' second, scoring Jenkins. Spearman lined a hit through the pitcher's box, a seemingly sure hit in any ball park. Alfonso drove at the ball behind second base. In some manner the diminutive shortstop called the sphere with his glove in the same motion making a back dive at the ball behind her force a play on Scales. San pitched a cooking game for the Stars, allowing the Lincolns five for six.
