The scalp was then torn off in patches, leaving the white human skull uncovered before sympathetic blood drew her crimson veil over its murderers.

As the poor man's lips parted in dying groans the tongue was jerked from his head and wagged before the eyes of the satisfied spectators. The natural life of the victim was then taken. Prominent Colored Citizens Forced to Watch Murder. Another new phase was added to this horrible crime. The most prominent colored people in the vicinity were hunted like wild beasts in the African jungles, until the last man and woman was rounded up by the auxiliaries of the merciless mob. They were then put into vehicles and hurried to witness the outrageous murder at the point of revolvers. According to the testimony of a Whip representative, the colored citizens were threatened with the same fate if they dared to publish what they had witnessed. The white papers, as a matter of course, muzzled the crime. Only one paper has published this horrible crime, the New York Evening Post. Vol. 1.

The Chicago Whip A PAPER WITH A POLICY SOUTH PLEADS FOR NEXT SESSION OF MILITANT RACE ORGANIZATION VIGOROUS PROTEST IS IGNORED BY MAYOR COLORED WOMAN APPOINTED MEMBER OF WELFARE BOARD TO BE RETAINED Omaha, Neb., June 26—Three members of the majority of the Public Welfare Board of this state formed a committee to protest the appointment of a Colored woman as member of the board to succeed Frank A. Kennedy, state labor commissioner. Mayor Smith listened attentively to the arguments that they proposed, they based their claims for protest on the ground that the colored woman was not competent to serve in that capacity, and in addition that the white members on the board would not work in harmony with a Negro. Mayor Proved Competency of the Col Ced Woman The mayor turned to his desk and pulled out the almost matchless record of Mrs. Julia Hudlin, who has been a Y. W. C. A.' worker in Chicago, New York and other cities together with the recommendations from many of the leading white and colored citizens of the country, as to her special and general fitness for the position. Seeing that there was no chance to prejudice the mayor on these grounds the committee then made this statement, "Mr. Mayor, we do not believe it is possible to find a Negro woman in the U. S., who is fitted to hold the position and further it would not be to the best interest of Negro citizens." These objections were over-rules, Mrs. Hudlin was appointed. N. A. A. C. P. HAS MOST REMARK ABLE CONFERENCE IN HISTORY OF ORGANIZATION. June 22-28. 1919. (Special to The Chicago Whip.) Cleveland, Ohio, June 30, 1919—Welcomed to Cleveland by Mayor and Chamber of Commerce and heralded by the white press of the city, the N. A. A. C. P. held its Tenth Annual Conference and its sessions were epoch making. Over 200 delegates from thirty states and 111 branches brought problems, results from the entire country. At one session $11,600 was pledged for the national work in less than minutes. The conference was marked by its militant attitude, intelligent consideration of problems and vision in preparation for program for the coming year. It was remarkable to hear the testimony of southern delegates. The problems they have met and overcome, the growth of the association in the South to the extent that at present it represents the major portion of the membership. It showed that the awakening of the Negro in the South is fast crystallizing into definite action and organization This is shown by the fact that the next annual conference is to be in Atlanta, Ga. Better than that, the conference is going on the invitation of the Governor of Georgia, the Mayor of Atlanta and the press of the Chamber of Commerce of Atlanta, assurance being given for delegates in the matter of accommodation, treatment and courtesy. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, JULY 3, 1919 NFERE THE CREIGHTON COLLEGE STUDENTS JIMCROWS COLORED MAN IN CHEATING PLOT DISCRIMINATION IN A NEW FORM WAS BROUGHT TO LIGHT IN NEBRAKA COLLEGE. (Special to The Chicago Whip.) Lincoln, Neb., June 24-In a recent investigation by Attorney General C. A. Davis, one hundred Nebraska dental students were found guilty of a plot to do wholesale cheating in the State examination. This investigation has attracted State-wide attention, because a majority of the leading professional men in the West are graduates of this institution, besides the student body is composed very largely of students from the most prominent families in this section. The investigators developed that forty-eight or the cheaters were from Creighton College in Omaha, and thirty-nine from the University of Nebraska made an agreement to take "ponies" into the examination room to ride in to the Secretary of State office and obtain license to practice. These men laid their plans very carefully. They were not sufficiently cunning, however, to conceal the fact that they refused to let J. A. Singleton, a colored student of Creighton College, who was taking the examination to even catch hold of the "pony's cars," to say nothing of riding him into the Secretary of State office to obtain license. Singleton passed the examination with a very high average. ADS FOR NEXT RACE ORGA Among the striking features of the resolutions were: (1) A two-fold program that fights the injustices heaped upon the Negro and at the same time conducts an educational program to change the Negro's psychology from passive submission to intelligent militant collective action. (2) Co-operation with every agency working for civic or political improvement of the Negro. (3) A demand for Congressional investigation of treatment of Negro soldiers at home and abroad. (4) A demand that a larger body of negro men be appointed to West Point and Naval Academy. (5) A demand for Federal legislation such as shall give the Government at Washington absol... control of the investigation of and punishment for lynching. (6) A denouncement of Jim Crowism as being illegal, unconstitutional in that such laws interferes with inter-state traffic and a call upon Congress to exercise its powers under the commerce clause. (7) A demand for the enforcement of all constitutional amendments. An enforcement of the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments. (8) A right to sit upon the jury which passes judgment upon him. (9) A vote for every colored man and woman. The resolution included a definite action against every member of the American Government in respect to its broken pledges and the American white PREDJUDICE COSTS HIM HIS SALARY JUDGE REPRIMANDS HIM, MAKES HIM FOREVER INELIGIBLE TO SERVE ON PANEL. Cincinnati, Ohio, June 24—For harboring a prejudice against the Negro race, which could not be influenced by his oath as a juror, Harry W. Jones of the Eighth Ward, Pittsburgh, Pa., was expelled from the jury. His pay for the last week's service was taken from him and a recommendation was made that his name be omitted permanently from the jury wheel. Jones had been summoned as a prospective juror. The first question asked by Attorney William H. Stanton, counsel for Green, was: "Mr. Jones, have you any prejudice against colored people?" "Yes, sir, I have," replied Jones. Mr. Stanton immediately asked Judge Wasson to severely reprimand Jones, after he again declared that he could not render a just verdict against a Negro, as his prejudice would probably influence him. Judge Wasson expelled him from the panel fined him his pay and sister. He would write a personal letter to the jury commissioners, asking that Jones's name be omitted permanently from the wheel. Senator Spencer Proves a Friend Prof. J. S. Harris, president of the Negro Educational Congress was sworn in Tuesday morning as a clerk in the United States senate. The man who stood all of the abuses from the Sunny South and to whom all honor is due for the appointment of this Negro educator was Senator Selden Spencer of Missouri. Prof. Harris is one of the best known Negro educators in this section. He has been referred to by men of letters as being a walking encyclopedia of the practical type. public in its attitude toward the Negro. Plans for publicity, educational propaganda and legal action touched every vital issue which concerns the Negro. Speeches were made by the foremost men of the country, white and black. Every organization dealing with any aspect of the problem was also represented, among which were Urban League, Welfare Association, Grand Army, Y. W. C. A.-Y. M. C. A., A. S. Bureau of Negro and Labor, Colored of America and others. The Spingarn Medal was awarded to Archibald Grimke of Washington and a master anti-Lynching Mass Meeting closed the Conference. PANAMANIAN VIOLINIST AND SONG WRITER. Mr. William Gallway, native of Panama dropped in the office of the Chicago Whip and showed us his new song called "Remembrance" which he intends to place on the market. Mr. Gallway is one of the recent additions to the musical staff of Chicago, he is a violinist of rare ability and a song writer of exceptional merit. He has been requested to have this special song, "Remembrance" arranged for orchestra, and it will be played at the Municipal Pier by Charles Elgar's band. Mr. Gallway is making Chicago his home and resides at 5548 Harper avenue where interviews and appointments may be made for musical work with him. He is a member of local 208 of the American Federation of Musicians. If It's Not in the "WHIP" There's Nothing to It JOURNAL edged The M entative in Hi y of Church PRICE 5 CENTS Acknowledged The Most Representative in His- tory of Church M. E. Zion Conference convened iners A. M. E. Zion Church, corner Thi, Wednesday, June 25, to Monday The Michigan A. M. E. Zion Conference convened in its tenth annual session in Walters A. M. E. Zion Church, corner Thirty-eighth and Dearborn streets, Wednesday, June 25, to Monday, June 30, inclusive. The Conference in its entirety was a record breaker. The fact was conceded by all present that never before in history was there such an annual gathering, one vying with the other to make the Conference all that it should be. Bishop George Lincoln Blackwell, the presiding bishop of the Fifth Episcopal District, expressed himself as being highly pleased. With one or two exceptions, every pastor came up with full round reports which showed both the Chicago and Detroit districts in a flourishing condition. The women of both districts, composing the Woman's Home and Foreign Mission departments controlled by women than ever before. One of the interesting features of the Conference was the contest between the Daughters of Conference. At the close of the Annual Conference in 1918 the bishop announced that free transportation to and from the General Conference which will be held in Knoxville, Tenn., May, 1920, would be given to the daughters bringing in the largest amount of money over $50. While both districts have quite a number of Daughters of Conference, the race simmered down to only two daughters, Mrs. Alice Brown of Walters A. M. E. Zion Church and Mrs. Sarah Harris of St. Matthews A. M. E. Zion Church, both of this city. On Thursday during the Conference, when the prize was to be awarded, all were excited, because opinions were divided among the friends of each, knowing that Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Harris had worked like trojans throughout the winter to win the prize; however, when the final count was made Mrs. Sarah Harris had rolled up the neat sum of $313.75 and Mrs. Alice Brown $277. There was much rejoicing because the amount raised went far beyond expectation, to say nothing of it being the largest amount raised by a Daughter of Conference in the history of the connection. Because of the untiring efforts of Mrs. Alice Brown, the bishop presented to her a half-fare ticket to the General Conference. Too much cannot be said of the Rev. W. A. Blackwell, the good pastor of Walters Church; to say that he is a pastor, organizer and manager is to say the least. Weeks before the convening of the conference all his arrangements were perfected; every auxiliary of the church knew just what was expected of it, and set out to complete all arrangements for the serving of delegates and pastors. On the day of the Conference opening until its close each club moved in and performed their share of responsibilities just like clockwork, without the expenditure of one penny by the Conference. The delegates, pastors and visitors were plentifully and sumptuously fed by the organizations of the church. All praise to Dr. Blackwell and his colleid set of people. Another very interesting feature was the election of delegates to the General Conference. There were many aspirants, but as there were only three to be elected from the ministry and two from the laity; each candidate brought all forces to bear in order to win out. Rev. W. H. Taylor, presiding elder of the Chicago District; Rev. L. P. Powell, pastor at South Bend, Ind., and Rev. J. M. Howard, of Indiana Harbor, Ind., were the successful candidates elected to represent the ministry, and Mrs. Moore of St. Cathrine Church, Thirty-seventh and Langley, and Miss Lillian I. Browder of Walters were elected to represent the laity. The service rendered by the choir of Walter, conducted by Prof. C. W. Pierce, with Miss Cleo May Dickerson as organist, was above par; much credit is due them for the very splendid "All Star Concert" given by them on the closing night. It was a decided success from every point of view. On Thursday evening the program was in charge of the several departments composed of the women. Mrs. Annie W. Blackwell, corresponding secretary of the General Missionary Society and the wife of the presiding bishop, was in attendance at this meeting and made a talk to the women. The address of welcome on this evening was delivered by Mrs. Ella G. Berry, president of the local society, on behalf of the several departments. Very interesting reports were made by the district officers. Throughout the Conference many soullirring sermons were delivered by the bishops and prominent min- (Continued on Page 8) By ELLA G.

Douglas, state representative, has been made to recognize the dawn of the new era which is predicated upon the theory that efficiency along technical lines is not monopolized by any race. The Pepas Gas Light and Coke Company breaks precedent by employing four meter inspectors at salaries of one hundred ($100.00) dollars per month, and four special meter readers who are boys, sixteen years old at salaries of fifty-five dollars ($55.00) per month. It is a very significant occurrence for a corporation to give employment to Colored boys of this age because students of industry have long recognized the fact that this class of citizenry is harder to place in lucrative positions than any other class among us. The boys are making excellent records which are evidenced by the appointment of Augusta Jennings as special meter reader which is a grade just above the inspector. The superintendent informs us that they are so well pleased with their experiment that they have given the boys as a matter of encouragement an increase in pay and brand new uniforms at the expense of the company. Commonwealth Edison Company Fol- With an eye of scrutiny the Commonwealth Edison Company, one of the largest corporations in the U. S., watched the progress of the colored employees with the Gas Light Company; because it is alleged that they were of the opinion that the employment of Negroes in any other capacity but that of the "Mop Artist" would create friction that would be very expensive to the company and that time alone could heal.

Sunday, June 29, 1919, ended the years' session of the Grace Lyceum, until September. A very interesting program was arranged, consisting of Dr. Johnson, of Bethel, Madam Florence C. Tolbert, Miss Myrtel Winfrey and Mr. Theodore Taylor. A large number attended. Monday evening, June 30, 1919, marked the annual formal dancing party of the Physicians, Dentists and Pharmacists Association with the newly elected officers, Dr. F. G. Trapp, president and Dr. Merwyn R. Bibb, chairman of committee on entertainment, acting as hosts. About four hundred people enjoyed the hospitality of this organization; and the ladies were charmingly gowned in a galaxy of colors, producing a very beautiful rainbow effect around the hall. One of the prettiest dancing parties of the season was given last Friday evening by Mr. John Burwell in honor of the Misses Burels and Boyd of St. Louis, and other visitors at the residence of Dr. and Mrs. Wm. Lawton, 3736 Grand Boulevard. Mrs. Lawton's beautifully proportioned French salon was an ideal setting for the affair. About one hundred guests tripped the light fantastic and then were led into the wonderful dining room of artistic beauty where refreshments were served, "Buffet Style." The wedding of Miss Eloise Davis Carey and Rev. Shelton Bishop took place Monday evening, June 30, at 6:30 p. m. before a very fashionable audience. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Bishop, senior, and the bride was given away by her father, Rev. Archibald Carey. The bride was attended by her sister, Annabel Carey, as maid of honor, and Victoria Bishop as bride's maid, sister of the groom. The groom was attended by his brother, Andrew Bishop, as best man and Mercer Langston, of St. Louis, as ushers. The presents received were very magnificent, one of which was a dozen Delft Ware China cups and saucers sent by Mayor Thompson. The bride and groom will spend their honeymoon at the Blackstone hotel and then go to their future home in Pittsburgh. Company proved so successful, however, that the Edison Company immediately followed suit by placing six Colored men in the Meter Installation Department. When interviewed by a special representative of the Chicago Whip, Mr. R. L. Abbott, general superintendent of this district, turned in his big swivel chair and propounded his fondness for the boys and said words to this effect, "As long as I am at the helm there shall not be any line of demarcation or discrimination drawn between the employees of this company on account of color." This should be an inspiration to all the struggling ambitious colored youths that the time is at hand for him to go after everything that is worth while and not wait for Providence to cast Golden Asles into his basket; and that he is assured of the assistance of the better class of White Americans. KNIGHTS OF PHYTHIAS ELECTS OFFICERS Progressive Lodge No. 48, met on Thursday, June 19, and among other transactions elected the following officers for July-December term 1919. The following were the officers elected: Mr. J. H. Johnson re-elected, Chancellor Commander. Mr. J. F. Gallagher re-elected Vice-Chancellor. Mr. B. G. Pollard, elected Keeper or Records and Seal.

Traube, M. L. Dottin, M. D. and Attorney B. G. Pollard, Mr. and Mrs. Harris. GALAXY OF BEAUTY ARRAYED AT DOCTOR'S BALL Monday night, while thousands were mourning the death of John Barleycorn, the Chicago Medical Society seemed to have forgotten that he or any other material object ever existed, for they had an array of beauty at the People's Movement Club House, sufficient to make one think that he lived in a super world where only angels dwelled. It really was an affair typical only of the elite. Every one was in full dress and seemed so intoxicated from the Celestial environment they seemed to have forgotten the torridity of the weather. After the Grand March, which was conducted in such an extremely exquisite style, several short speeches were made by the newly elected officers. Among those present were: Dr. and Mrs. Marshall, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence, Miss R. Wobb, Dr. Burrell, Dr. G. Fisher, Dr. Pratt, Dr. Bousfield, Mr. and Mrs. Abott, Dr. H.

Donald replied in a very befitting manner.

Whereup is nothing co done for me. view of life." If a noble AVENUE. On June 29, 1919, Tom Brown, well loved actor, died. Mr. Brown's last appearance was The Surprize Midnight Show. HIS LAST PERFORMANCE Let's give the "Dean" of the profession a testimonial. It may be his last time to realize the profound respect and love the theatre world retains for him. This is the sum total of a conversation a few days prior to the remarkable midnight show given at the favorite playhouse in the city of Chicago, The Avenue. Everyone in the little committee realized that Mr. Brown must not know anything about it as his peculiar temperamental tendencies would have reacted. The result would be, "I don't want to be bothered. I am just happily waiting. The time is near, let me think. Sweet thoughts, in solitude, is my soul's desire." So while he musingly played upon the worn strings of life's inspiring sharp we hastily prepared one of the most elaborate vaudeville bills ever presented in any playhouse. I must pause for one sweet moment to sound the name of another great artist, he the picture of health joyfully appeared on this bill, with words of fond affection eulogized Mr. Brown and to the amazement of the world passed suddenly on to the playhouse of immortal souls, to direct the heavenly symphony in order to usher this master of his craft to his immortal seat among the genii of eternity. James Reese Europe. What a happy meeting, reminiscent of old times these two, spiritually commuting in the realms of heavenly beauty and splendor. The show arranged now the trick to get Mr. Brown unknowingly to the theatre. An auto ride was suggested by his adorable wife, Susie Sutton Brown. He readily agreed and without notice he was quietly helped into the box of the crowded theatre to see the show. The master of ceremonies introduced him and like the old veteran of Civil war days he arose, walked unaided to the stage and in the shadow of the Tom Brown of old days, he greeted the audience amid thunderous applause; under the influence of enthusiasm he danced and with sincerity commented upon the rapid growth of dramatic actors among race people. The crowd spell-bound began to wipe their eyes when he turned to the master of ceremonies, a man of the younger school, and said, "Young man, I've played my part, I love it, but now I gladly turn the game over to you, I esteem you, see it through." Losing the momentary vigor his last words were in a forced whisper—"I am done." He was right. It was the last appearance of America's greatest dramatic actor, Tom Brown. THE THEATRE AND THE PEOPLE The theatre, repeating my subject, has its root in the religious instinct; the ancient Indian myth plays, the Greek altar of Dionysus, the European Medieval Cathedral—everywhere the history of drama points to this origin. Such modern plays a "The Servant in the House" and the "Pushing of the Third Floor Back" is an evidence of the effective way religion can be taught through action. A The STAGE CRITICISM IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL TO PUBLIC MORAL AND PUBLIC TASTE BANKERS BUY LAFAYETTE PLAYERS RACE MEN BUY LAFAYETTE PLAYERS SCREENING THE PLAYERS The church has always been cognizant that a stage play is considered by an audience as a bit of life and exercises a corresponding power; it would not have tolerated the silly notion that a drama bears no relation to life and therefore is relieved from moral responsibility; indeed, all private experience gives the idea the lie. Henry Irving, the great actor, when past sixty, was representing Tennyson's play, "Becket," and an admirer one night thinking to compliment him remarked that the actor had done much for the play. Whereupon Irving answered: "It is nothing compared with what it has done for me. It has changed my whole view of life." If a noble play can effect such a result in the case of the player himself, after a life-time of professional imitations, what can it not do with that impressionable creature, the average playgoer. Here, then, is the most democratic of all story-telling corresponding to a deep dramatic instinct, with its origin in play, in religion, in the universal love of life, influencing untold thousands of human beings a year; and therefore its use or abuse is offering a vital, practical, educational problem among race people. What is being done? Do we realize what the theatre is, and are we attending to show such realization? Do we consider it a necessity and duty to attend regularly? No, you reply, but we have tickets reserved and pay for them even if we do not attend. That is not enough. Your soul needs food and nourishment and surely the souls of the peo- It has been rumored for some time that the Quality Amusement Corporation, the late producers of the Lafayette players, contemplated selling their interests. At this writing the Whip has been informed that Brown and Stevens, the prominent bankers of Philadelphia, have bought outright all the interests owned by the above corporation and have added several other cities, namely: Philadelphia, St. Louis, Cincinnati and Cleveland. We are exceedingly proud of this progressive adventure generated entirely by the brains of race men. We can see readily that race people will support the theatre with renewed energy knowing that instead of pouring money into the hands of the opposite race who have every financial avenue open to them. Sergeant Arthur Guy Empey is again at work under the Cooper-Hewitts. This time he is starred by Select in a feature called "Mell on Earth." In the cast also appear such well-known names as Evelyn Martin, Marguerite Courto, Betty Blythe, Sally Crute and Arthur Donaldson. Wilfred North is the director. Robert Gordon, who made such hit as Huckleberry Finn, has signed two new contracts. One is for life (he married Alma Francis last month), the other to appear in Stuart Blackton Productions. Constance Talmadge has come east to produce pictures. Her first will be from Jane Cowl's success, "Information, Please." Natalie Talmadge will play the part of the younger sister. According to recent announcements, Nell Shipman is now the richest motion picture actress in the world. Upon the death of her father, Arnold Foster Shipman, she became heiress to half an estate valued at $5,000,000. The other half goes to her brother, Maurice Shipman, who at present still is in a hospital with a wound obtained in France. William Desmond is again at work at the Hampton studios in "Two Fisted Gallagher." R. A. Wish has arrived in California with Mrs. Walsh, professionally known as Miriam Cooper, and is hard at work upon his spectacular film version of Longfellow's "Evangeline." Naomi Childers supports Tom Moore in his latest production. Victor Potel is with Metro now. Remember him as Slippery Slim in the old Essanay days. Shirley Mason has asked for her re- ple are worth more than bits of paper called tickets. The theatre habit is absolutely necessary to every group of civilized people who strive for moral advancement. We consider it careless and shiftless to be absent from school or business, that we impede progress in doing so, does it not follow that drama loses its fascinating charm, the magic power of progressive enlightenment when you consider it a lackadaisical whim to give attention. Another misconception which undoubtedly hurts the true interests of the theatre is that embodied in the phrase, "Give the people what they want." This is indeed a peril. In other words, since it is of the very nature of the play-house to represent life—life in no restricted sense, but all of it, the high and low, the foul and fair; and since moreover, many in an audience wish to see depicted the coarse, the brutal, the low and vile, they should be allowed to have it. The business interests of the theatres are compelled to operate in keeping with this demand. Now for solution. Let the business man give the people what they want, but let the enlightened part of every community teach the people to want what they should have, and hence to have what they ought to have. Do this and civilization advances, do it not and progress perishes from the face of human society. To realize it, we have but to look around. Everywhere we have public libraries; do we give the people what they want in them? Certainly not. (To be continued next week). they will increase the commercial strength of race men. The players are encouraged because the first official step taken by the new management was to increase the salaries of the heretofore underpaid actors and actresses. Messrs. Brown and Stevens have also promised that they will try to improve the standard of race thespians by giving them international publicity and the usual luxuries associated with successful stars. We wish to congratulate these energetic, progressive business men and I think we will be truthful in saying that the readers of the Whip and the theatre going public all over the united land are proud to know that the only dramatic organization among our people is controlled and owned by our people. lease from Paramount. Tom Moore will soon start work on "Lord and Lady Algy," the comedy by R. C. Carton, which William Faversham played on Broadway. World Film Company will star Zena Keefe in a picture temporarily called "The Amateur Widow." Hugh Dillman, who recently married Margery Rambeau, will play opposite her. The report is Charles Ray has been signed by First National. Viola Dana has at last found a name for her Pom. "Satan" it is, and for the life of us we can't see why. That moniker would fit one of Simon Legree's blood-hounds. Milton Sills has returned to the Goldwyn fold and will appear with Pauline Frederick in her next picture. Nazimova has chosen the famous Morosco stage success, "The Brat," for her next super-feature. Evelyn Greeley's untiring efforts have at last been rewarded and she is now a star in her own right. Her first venture will be "Relations" and Hugh Dillman will be her leading man. To be really loved one must have a nickname. Just glance over this list that the Japanese have given a few of our stars. They call Eddie Pope "Samurai," which means "superman," Mary MacLaren, "Nakume," which means "sad-eyes," Dorothy Phillips "Kire-onna," which means "lovely lady" and Harry Carey, "Watashi otoko," which means the "gun-man." Dorothy Dalton has just been sent to New York to produce her next picture. Just what it is we have not been told—we merely know that it is known as "the most sensational picture of her screen career." THE CHICAGO WHIP ST EASY ESSENTIAL TO PUBLIC By CLARENCE E. MUSE BUY LAFAYET I DIDN'T KNOW THAT Nora Bayes says the "home paper" used to refer to her as nee Goldberg after her first marriage, but that it came to speak of her as nay, nay Goldberg after the others. David Warfield said a few years ago that he would "give anything" to see himself in motion pictures and now that others would give anything for him to pose before the cine camera. He positively declines to say so. The owners of the dramatization of "Pollyana" decline to release it the films for less than $50,000. Avery Hopwood's "Nobody's Widow" was called "Roxana," the name of the principal character, when it was presented in London by Doris Keane. Maude Adams has only a few friends not connected with the theatre and that while she is one of the best known among American actresses, comparatively few people have seen her off the stage during the past ten years. When George C. Tyler asked Booth Tarkington how he had the "nerve" to demand $1,500 apiece for his "Penrod" stories from the magazine editors, Tarkington replied, "I didn't, I asked $1,700, presuming, as was the case that they'd want to 'compromise' on a lower figure." Lopa De Vega wrote one thousand plays, that old Dion Boucicault wrote as many as twelve in one year, and that Hal Reid wrote one in one night, the last mentioned, a play that was a box office success. Fannie Ward still looks about sixteen years of age, although her daughter was married in England not long ago. The first words that Edith Taliaferro spoke on the stage were: "I wish I wore pants." Richard Carle used to be a regular lyceum entertainer and that he attended the church where Otis Skinner's father was the pastor. David Belasco and James Herne used bull's-eye lanterns for "overhead lighting" when they were too poor to provide other means. Ethel Barrymore's future was mapped out for her and that she was to become a concert pianiste, when "Grandma" Drew suddenly found a small part for her and she gave up music for the profession of her forefathers and foremothers. Julian Eltinge has duplicated a Spanish castle atop a hill at Edendale outside of Los Angeles, one of the beautiful residences of the Pacific coast and that he earned the several hundred thousand dollars with which to do it by making a few tours of the country and appearing before the cinema camera for three films. Bonnie Thorton is making a hit in vaudeville with "Little Annie Rooney," which she sang twenty-five years ago—and by inviting all ladies in the audiences who learned it twenty-five years ago to join in the refrain. Elizabeth Murray says her three great wishes are: a farm, a straight part and a man she could promise to love, honor—and obey. Robert Hillard was a society amateur before becoming a professional performer. Lillie Langtry first appeared upon the stage as Kate Hardecastle in "She Stoops to Conquer." Elsie Janis who generally includes a male impersonation in her entertainment made her theatrical debut in a boy part in "The Charity Ball." Katherine Harris Barrymore is a niece of Mrs. Herbert M. Harriman the New York society woman. DON'T FORGET! That after July 1 intoxicate yourself by dancing at the Royal Gardens until 1 a.m. "The End of the Road" at the States theatre, July 3, 4 and 5.

SOCIETY GIRL WINS HONORS AT CHICAGO NORMAL COLLEGE THE WOMEN'S HERITAGE DOROTHY RADCLIFFE The above is Miss Dorothy Radcliffe a graduate of the Chicago Normal College, Friday, June 27, 1919. Miss Radcliffe is the daughter of Mrs. Martha Robertis, and is twenty years of age. A WHIP reporter made an investigation of the record of this accomplished young woman and finds that her general average for the four years reached the high-water mark of ninety-eight. The Registrar at the College says that for an all-around student and special fitness for an elementary teacher Miss Radcliffe has no superiors and very few equals so far as this institution is concerned. When interviewed by a reporter, she stated that she was very proud of her accomplishments and expects to take the teachers' examination in September, and claims she has not the least possible doubt of leading all of the competitors in this contest as she succeeded in doing in the local school. MORRIS BEATEN AGAIN (Special to the Chicago Whip) June 27, 1919.-The incorporated branch of the Baptist family which brought an injunction suit against the unincorporated adherants of the Baptist in Judge Smith's court, Chicago, Ill., to prevent them from using the name "National Baptist," and which was dismissed in September, 1915, and brought up again on appeal and amended bill, the court again dismissed the injunction giving the unincorporated Baptist the full and legal right to use the name "National Baptist." President Edward P. Jones of the National Baptist Convention whose residence is in Evanston, Illinois, feels that he has dealt Morris and his corporated faction one of the greatest blows since 1915, and that he has established the principle that there are but two units among the Baptist people, that is first, the individual, and second the Church.

HARDEN, General Manager --- --- THE WORLD OF SPORTS-By Wm. Buckner AMERICAN GIANTS WHITEWASH BELOIT A. WM. BUCKNER An Explanation and an Opinion. Wm. A. Buckner "I am going to give that big fraud all that is due him," said Jack. "He tricked me and is trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the public. If he refuses to fight me, hiding behind the color line like a 'yellow cur' I will begin proceedings at once to attach the proceeds from the Willard-Dempsey fracas." The article above was printed without my consent. Mr. Jack Johnson seems very much worked up because Willard is trying to pull the wool over his eyes, he thinks, perhaps, this is his personal stuff that he certainly used it to a fare the well in his day, also if we are to believe the writer he will at once attach the note receipts. Jack b. some weird stuff, if he has any wounds will at once claim the "Woolworth Building" for my end, and have the same chance of getting it. Here is a man who had the chance to be the best loved fighter in the world. As a fighter he was without a peer, every man who had a drop of sporting blood in his veins would have admired him, his race would have worshiped him, he had the strength of Samson, the fleetness of Mercury, with the brain of a child. Had Peter Jackson, George Dixon, Joe Gans or Sam Langford had his chance, we and our children's children would have had something to be proud of. Up to the time he flashed across the horizon of the sporting world the colored man was a welcome contender in all lines of sport. Jack came and passed out and every athlete of color was out of the picture. He cost his age thousands of dollars, he was a case of hundreds of them losing their jobs. I was with the White Sox Base Ball Club, trained in California and played in every town of over 4,000 from the coast to Chicago. On this tour I have discussed this subject with numerous porters and bellboys in the different cities. made two trips East, I made it a my work to ask bellboys, porters and waiters, those who worked and expe ted tips. The bellboys of the Hollden den of Cleveland, Willard of Washington, Cadillac of Detroit, Bret Hall of New York, Copeley Squ., Hotel of Bort e and Aldine Hotel of Philadelphia, and they are all of the opinion that Jack Johnson threw the colored race back at least ten years and even yet it is a sore spot in the caucasians minds. You may say that you do not care, but unless you've yours you do care. Jack Johnson has buried himself so let him sleep on. I hope he makes a million dollars "Over There" and stays "Over There" to spend it.

The Jinx of Business Forever Denies Those Who Neglect to Advertise Whitworth Pitches Shutout Ball Sunday, June 29, 1919—Schorling Park, before a crowd of 15,000 people in the most exciting game of the season Whitworth, the American Giant's Ace, made a record for himself that will long be remembered by the base ball fans of this section by blanking the Fairbanks Morse team of Beloit, Wisconsin. It came as a surprise to the fans because the Beloit team has made a matchless record this season by defeating all comers and on the other hand the American Giants had many of its best men on the hospital list. The feature of the game was the superl work of Charleston on bases. The Game by Innings Beloit Williams threw out Allison. Francis's throw got Baxter. Holloway struck out. 0 runs 0 hits. BOSTON AMERICANS SHOP Harry Frazee, who bought this ball club had a wonderful ball club. Bill Carrigan, the former manager, quit. Jack Barry of the million dollar "infield," the man who did more to make Eddie Collins than he did himself, was given the club. He was called to war. Ed Barrow, a former president of a small league was given the management. Frazee is a showman, he owns the Cort theatre here and several theatres in New York, and knows the value of a championship ball club as an advertising medium. He wished a winner. He startled the baseball world by the purchase of stars from Cennie Mack; McInnis, the best first sacker in the league, excepting Sisler of St. Louis; Amos Strunck, the fastest man in his league on the bases, a fast and wonderful fielder, and a timely hitter; Wally Schang, who was slated by the wise WRITTEN ON THE CUFF THE WORLD Only Three More Days John Barleycorn is slipping fast The end's not far away, And all his friends look on aghast And filled with deep dismay; Now that he's got to leave this vale They shed the bitter tear And loudly lift their voice and wail And weep into their beer.

He called to see Dempsey box with Tate and hurried to see the champion box. * * * He later announced to the gaping world that Willard will win. I coppered the thought that is, if Willard wishes to win, but his system of training has certainly Buffaloeed the Wise Conditioners. Willard weighs 243½ now. In Havana, he weighed 247 in his fighting togs when he fought Jack Johnson. It is possible for him to dry-out at least from 5 to 7 pounds before he fights Dempsey. The surprise of the season was given the fight fans in the selection of a local man, Ollie Pecord, as referee. He is an "old-time" ball player from the Western League, 1890 to 1895. Pecord is the official referee of the Toledo boxing commission and is regarded as an extremely capable and efficient official. He is not widely known throughout the country, but boxers who have fought under his direction here declare he knows his business, is thoroughly honest and can be counted upon not to lose his head in any emergencies.

On paper this looks like the best ball club in the American league, that Boston with the team she had with the addition of these men should run away with the race was the opinion of the sporting writers. An over-abundance-of-Athletic-Baseball Brains, wrecked a wonderful baseball machine. Frazee has begun to unload. Bob Roth, who was traded to Cleveland with E. Klifer for General Joseph Jackson, then traded to Philadelphia, has been traded to Boston with Maurice Shannon for Jack Barry and Amos Strunk. Peddle a few more and Frazee will have quite a baseball club. This baseball club with the desire to earnestly deliver what they are paid to do would be locked horns with New York for the highest honors in baseball. Samuel Langford hurried back to Chicago to "set in" at the burial of BOOZE. He will now hurry back to Toledo to see the gladiators "glat." All Chicago turned out to the funeral last night. The total casualty list has not been turned in as yet. We have something to be thankful for. Two and three-quarters per cent will afford a good chummy feeling, if, you absorb enough. Mr. James Finch, of Peoria, Illinois, motored to Chicago to get a good start to Toledo. He does not care for the fight, but likes to be where the live ones are "Parked." Here's a tip to Chicagoans: Local railroad officials say the early morning trains from Chicago have the right of way. It is advisable to come down on the day of the fight, as hotel accommodations cost almost as much as a ring-side seat.

(Special to the Chicago Wisp) Governor Cox of Ohio vetored the bill proposed to reduce the number of trustees at Wilberforce University. It is rumored here, however, that the veto only leads to the making of a rigid investigation by competent and expert surveyors. It is no secret here, it is said by good authorities that if investigation is made that inefficiency and irregularities of all sorts will be exposed. The governor's appointees on the trustee board and those in the normal and industrial departments are paid by the state, therefore they are clamoring with increasing volume, that if the future of the institution is to be assured investigation must be had at once. It is understood that the endowment fund of the institution is to be wholly dissipated, some of the members of the board it is said to have borrowed very liberally from this fund. President and Head of the Industrial Department Clash It is further claimed by those who are most familiar with conditions that the president of the college and the head of the industrial department have been at variance with each other and have contrived criminally to get revenge even at the cost of the reputation of this great institution. This news coming from Wilberforce which is one of the greatest race universities in the world is causing great alarm among the leading educators who have the welfare of the institution at heart. Have Big Alumni Wilberforce has several post-graduate schools, has made a specialty of training colored teachers, therefore its alumni is second to none of the higher institutions of learning. Those who have met any of the graduates of Wilberforce know they are possessed with a dying unselfish love for their Alma Mater. On account of this great love they are bringing all pressure to bear upon the governor and other high officials to have an investigation of conditions so that the innocent might be freed from the cloud of suspicion and the guilty may be thrown out and punished. se Who Neglect Francis strolled.

DREAMLAND'S BABES WINS AGAIN The Dreamland's Babes walloped the De Luxe Cafe team by the score of 67 to 7 at Washington Park last Friday, June 27, 1919. The Babes looked like pennant winners.

Buckner The mad rush of the White Sox ball club had the old South side fans losing sleep, counting and dividing the money gained by winning the pennant. The White Sox came out of their training camp fit as a fiddle, three weeks in advance of the other ball clubs in condition. They had pitching and hitting, because the other pitchers were not ready. Their hitters were hitting a lot of bad pitching, but now it is another story; the other ball clubs have reached the pink of condition and New York, Cleveland, Washington and St. Louis are now winning games. Cicotte and Williams cannot win a pennant. Kid Gleason, the manager of the White Sox is a wonderful man and can get more work out of a ball player than any manager in the league. He is jolly, and keeps his players in good humor, he rules by kindness, if he can, but he rules. However, he must have good pitching to win. The spirit of the ball club is wonderful. In discussing the wonderful games they have played with some of the White Sox players they smile and say, "well we are doing this for the kid." I earnestly hope that Comiskey will give him the pitching he so badly needs for he cannot win with what he has. Faber does not seem to be able to get started. He was a wonderful pitcher in 1917 as all New York will tell you. Here'soping Comiskey will buy a pitcher, as the fans are with the team and have nothing but the best wishes for the kid. to Advertise R. H.PO.

STUDENTS OF SPORT On Sunday it was announced that American representatives had won first and second in both sprints, first in the 1,500-meter race, first and third in the javelin throw and first three places in the grenade throw at the allied armies' championships in Paris. There is every reason to suppose that when the games are over America will not only be the winner, but the overwhelming winner, as far as ordinary track and field sports are concerned. Points may not show this clearly, because points will be counted for all sorts of contests, including, for instance, boxing and soccer; but if the ordinary track and field events are taken, the overwhelming superiority of the American soldier athlete will be plain. This is partly due to the fact that the Americans are splendidly represented. A large group of athletes were taken over specially for the games. It is partly due to the fact that track and field sports are particularly cultivated by the colleges, and the American college athletes went into the army almost in a body. But it is largely due to the scientific zeal with which American athletes practice their specialties. Boxers everywhere work along the most carefully scientific lines. But where, except in America, could you find a hurdler like Bob Simpson (Lleut. Simpson, rather), who would practice knee exercises half an hour a day, winter and summer alike, to perfect his technique? Where, except in America, could you find a jumper like Sol Butler (a Negro, by the way), who could boast of having kept an exact record of over two thousand practice jumps? Where could you find a runner like Joe Stout of Chicago, who has just won the 1,500-meter in time about equivalent to 4:13 for the mile, who would take a night job for years so that he could practice his running in the late afternoons? From some points of view this amazing attention to details, this assiduity, a what is, after all, only sport, may seem trivial. But it is the same spirit that has made the practical American scientist, the American engineer, famous all over the world. It is the spirit that cannot rest until it has improved on the traditional method of doing things. Our neighbors in other countries talk sometimes about the "slap-dash" American. They do not know the American. He may be slap-dash in talk; in action he is a student. So our allies will discover before these games are over. UNION GIANTS, 4; ARMOURS, 3 Omaha, Neb., June 29—The Union Giants defeated the Armour team, formerly the Brandeis, the first game of a series here today, 4 to 3. SOL BUTLER DECORATED BY THE KING OF MONTENEGRO. Pershing Stadium, June 28.—America's score in the interallied games as the result of today's victories is 18 points. France and Canada are tied for second place with 2 points, and New Zealand third with 1 point. The American sprinters, Charles Padlock and Lieut. Teschner, took first and second places, respectively, in the 200 meters, finals, the former's time being a world's record American Wins Broad Jump. The American Negro athlete, Sol Butler of Dubuque, Iowa, was first in the running broad j trials, making 7.4 meters (24.288 feet). Today's winners were decorated by the King of Montenegro, the stadium's honor guest. GRAVY.-SAY GRITTS WHERE IS YOUR SON? GRITTS.-HE'S IN COLLEGE STUDIN PER A DOCTER.

THE GLORY OF DEATH For centuries men of the most brilliant type have spent years trying to obtain sufficient information to completely define the word which draws a definite line between this world and the so-called world to come—DEATH. According to the scholarly testimony of the learned dean of Northwestern University Medical School, we are as far, practically, from a definition today as were the men who lived under the suzerainty of the sheperd kings of ancient Egypt. It is amazingly surprising to read history and observe how individuals, clans, tribes and nations have undergone the most excruciating agonies, almost unbearable tortures, even suffering their innocent babies to be snatched from their monthers' breasts, all because they feared a thing they knew practically nothing about—DEATH. We shall ont attempt to define this five lettered word which seems more perplexing than the most difficult Chinese puzzle, but so far as we are concerned it is a condition that immediately follows, when all of the organs of the body cease to function. When DEATH in its circular tour of the universe enters the portals of our homes and robs us of the sweet comforts of a kind and loving mother or the protection and counsel of an exemplary father, it is but human for us to think of DEATH as the most horrible thing known to humanity. Somewhere in physics is a law which has this substance: that to every action there is an equal active opposite reaction. In the sunlight of this form of reasoning we are able to glean that DEATH carries with it sufficient good to counterbalance or offset the many horors we suffer from its sting. Think if DEATH had not swept away the scientists and leaders of thought who preceded Columbus and who preached that the world was square, Columbus never could have influenced Queen Elizabeth of Spain to finance his voyage to America. If DEATH had not visited and clasped in its grim hands the politicians, statesmen and churchmen who molded the Nation's opinion, teaching as recently as 1840 that slavery was just, and further, that the country could remain one-half slavery and one-half free, would the pages of American history be illuminated today with the golden achievements of the illustrious Abraham Lincoln? While we honor the late Booker T. Washington and in our esteem place him in the category with the few truly great men of his day, we are of the opinion THAT FIVE MORE YEARS OF ACTIVE PUBLIC LIFE FOR HIM WOULD HAVE SO CALOUSED THE MINDS OF THE NEGRO MASSES WITH THE CONTENTMENT OF A HALF LOAF THAT IT WOULD HAVE REQUIRED A HUNDRED DUBOISES, HARRISONS, OWENS, PHILLIP RANDOLPHS, TO BRING THEM OUT FROM UNDER THE ETHER AND MAKE THEM REALIZE THAT THEY WERE "HONEST TO GOD, REAL, SURE ENOUGH MEN." Judge Abernathy, of Alabama, a Negro "hater," says that Washington's propaganda did more to deteriorate the manhood of the Negro than did the white plague. AND WHO OF YOU THAT ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE LIFE OF BEN TILLMAN THAT WOULD NOT SAY FOR THE MERE ASKING THAT HIS DEATH WAS THE MOST GLORIOUS EVENT IN NEGRO HISTORY? Oh—DEATH, we implore you not to regard us as an ungrateful beneficiaries, but in the name of an honest, unsuspecting people who worked harder, longer and receive less pay than any other racial group; IN the name of a people who are forced to pay higher prices for the necessities of life; IN the name of a people who are determined in spite of these handicaps to keep the ball of agitation rolling and the wheel of progress turning, PLEASE IN YOUR NEXT JOURNEY DO NOT FORGET TO TAKE WITH YOU THE HON. COLE BLEASE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, HOKE SMITH AND HARD-WICK OF GEORGIA, VARDAMAN OF MISSISSIPPI, HEFLIN OF ALABAMA AND BILBO OF MISSISSIPPI. In view of the fact that we, after a searching inquiry into the requirements of leadership, we have arrived definitely at the conclusion that honesty, efficiency and sincerity are fundamental assets, SWEET, UNCTIOUS DEATH, we further petition you to not draw the color line in your next eliminating crusade. WE BESEECH YOU TO DO THE RACE A FAVOR, TO SILENCE "KERNEL" ROSCOE CONKLING SIMMONS, WHO TRAVELED THREE THOUSAND MILES ACROSS THE DEEPS TO WRITE ABOUT HIMSELF AND WHO CHARGES HARD-WORKING PEOPLE FROM FIFTY CENTS TO FIVE DOLLARS TO BE DRUGGED INTO A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY AND CONTENTMENT BY HIS STEREOTYPED SCHOOLBOY "SLUSH," AND WHOM IT IS SAID BASES HIS CLAIM FOR LEADERSHIP UPON THE GROUNDS OF BEING THE COUSIN OF BOOKER T. WASHINGTON'S SECOND WIFE AND NONE TO WASHINGTON HIMSELF. You may also, in making out your case against this gentleman, remember that he is the man who, through our worthy contemporary The Chicago Defender, it is alleged, said that he delivered a speech to the Peace Conference, and that at the same time he is the geneleman who said at the Auditorium upon his return that "I WENT TO THE DOOR OF THE PEACE COMMISSION ONLY TO FIND THE COLD IRON BARS CLOSED IN MY FACE." WE ARE FILLED WITH JOY BEYOND OUR ABILITY TO EXPRESS BECAUSE HE DID NOT GET IN, BECAUSE WE ARE AWARE OF THE FACT THAT IF HE DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING MORE CONCRETE, PROGRESSIVE AND CONSTRUCTIVE TO DELIVER TO THE PEACE COMMISSION THAN WHAT HE ENCOUCHED INTO THE PROGRAM OF THE LINCOLN LEAGUE, OF WHICH HE IS PRESIDENT, OR WHAT HE DELIVERED AT THE AUDITORIUM, HE WOULD HAVE DONE MORE HARM THAN GOOD. OH—SMOOTHING, MYSTERING MASTER, THERE ARE TWO MORE OF THIS CLASS OF WOULD-BE LEADERS WHO DO AND NEVER THINK, AND THINK AND NEVER DO, IN OUR MIDST, BUT SPACE WILL NOT ALLOW US TO MENTION. BUT IN THE NAME OF PROGRESS AND EQUALITY, WE ASK YOU TO DEAL WITH THEM IN YOUR OWN WAY SO THAT WE MIGHT MOVE ON TO TAKE SIDES WITH THE OTHER GIANT GROUPS WHO STAND AT THE TOP ROUND OF THE LADDER OF CIVILIZATION. IT DOES NOT MATTER TO US WHETHER THEY SHARE THE FATE OF TILLMAN OR NOT. WHEN THIS IS DONE THERE IS NO QUESTION IN MY MIND BUT THAT FROM THE LIPS OF EVERY CHILD, EVERY MAN AND WOMAN THAT LOVES PROGRESS AND DISLIKES HANDICAPS YOU SHALL HEAR IN STENTORIAN TONES THE SONG OF THE "GLORY OF DEATH." Race Enterprises EUGENE J. MARSHALL, A. M., LL. B. At the present time much is being said and written about supporting Race Enterprises. There is no question that we should try to encourage the efforts the race men are making to promote business undertaking among our race. This is especially true at the present time. The war has taught us that we must learn how to depend upon ourselves instead of depending upon our "fairer neighbors," as we have been doing. Because of this fact we find that colored people all over the United States are getting together to promote Race Enterprises. At the same time we notice that colored people are launching a large number of business enterprises. Many of these enterprises are taking the form of stock selling propositions. Some of these stock selling propositions are good and some of them are bad. In view of this fact, I think that it is advisable that many of our people should be instructed in regards to purchasing shares of stock in Race Enterprises and also with reference to purchasing stock in companies which are being promoted by White people. In view of these facts the CHICAGO WHIP is planning to conduct a department which will serve as a guide to prospective investors. We will make an honest and scientific effort to separate the good stocks from the bad stocks and give our readers the benefit of our services whenever they contemplate purchasing stock. We will endeavor to make a thorough investigation of many of the stocks which are now being offered to the public and we will try to advise the members of our race with reference to the stock they should purchase and the stock to be avoided. We have no desire nor intention to hinder or cripple any legitimate enterprises among our people or among white people. We will do all in our power to encourage and support legitimate enterprise and to discourage all enterprises which are unsafe or uncertain. EUGENE I. MARSHALL. Zion Conference isters present. Excitement did not reach its height until Monday evening, when the pastors received their appointments. Several transfers were made to and from this Conference. Rev. G. W. Register, who has had charge of our church at Fortieth and Michigan avenue, and Rev. T. S. Allen, who has been stationed at Windsor, Ontario, were both transferred from this Conference, and Rev. J. M. Branch, J. A. Cole, T. A. Roach and L. L. Woods were transferred to this Conference The good pastor of Walters A. M. E. Zion, Rev. W. A. Blackwell, was returned amidst a great show of delight and enthusiasm. Rev. Powell was returned also to South Bend, and Rev. J. M. Howard to Indiana Harbor. Rev. J. M. Branch was assigned to the Michigan Avenue Church, Rev. T. A. Roach to St. Cathrine, Thirty-seventh and Langley streets, and Rev. L. L. Woods from the Western New York Conference to St. Matthews, 4038 Dearborn street. We predict for these new men on the field unbounded success. Mrs. Delila Thomas was reappointed district president of the W. H. F. M. S. over the Chicago District, and Mrs. E. Conquest over the Detroit District. Among the prominent visitors to the Conference were Bishops D. G. Clement, Louisville, Ky.; L. W. Kyles, St. Louis, Mo.; W. L. Lee, New York, N. Y.; J. S. Caldwell, Philadelphia, Pa.; Revs. E. D. Jones, Rochester, N. Y.; A. C. Crooke, New York, N. Y.; B. G. Shaw, St. Louis, Mo.; G. W. Gaines, Pittsburgh, Pa.; J. D. Shockley, Indianapolis, Ind.; Mrs. Annie W. Blackwell, corresponding secretary of General Missionary Society; Dr. J. Harvey Anderson, editor of the Star of Zion; Dr. J. W. Martin, educational secretary; Dr. J. W. Wood, editor of Missionary Seer; Dr. H. J. Callis, Washington, D. C.; Dr. Workman, presiding elder of Alabama District; Dr. S. W. Witted, secretary of the Ministerial Brotherhood; Mrs. H. J. Callis, and many others. After a report of the finance committee it was found that more money had been raised from all sources than any former meeting. Visitors and all awarded Dr. Blackwell the banner as being the man that can bring things to pass. LONG LIVE THE GOOD BISHOP AND HIS BROTHER, DR. W. A. BLACKWELL. Bad Teeth Injurious to Health Not until very recently has it come to be realized that many of the most serious diseases that attack human beings are, at least in a large percentage of cases, caused by decayed teeth, or something else wrong with the mouth. The necessity of cleansing the teeth was dwelt upon by the Egyptians, three thousand years before the coming of Christ, as an aid to physical beauty as well as a health measure. The ancient Hindoos, Chinese, Greeks and Romans also preached and practiced mouth hygiene. And I doubt not were more familiar with hygienic tools than the average person of today. To them a clean mouth was an indication of culture, cleanliness and health as it is at the present time. The Bible contains several references proving that the above assumption is correct. Good teeth are essential to proper mastication; without them the general health cannot be maintained in the highest possible degree. In all probability a tooth kept perfectly clean would never decay, and though it may be impossible to constantly keep the teeth entirely free from foreign matter in some stage of fermentation, but by frequent washing and cleansing with suitable antiseptic mouth solution will practically A. DR. J. C. TYMONY, 3613 STATE STREET accomplish the desired result. The teeth should be brushed and a suitable mouth wash employed at the morning toilet, after each meal and just before retiring at night. The proper procedure in brushing the teeth is carried on in this manner: the front teeth are brushed from a side to side motion, while the back teeth are brushed in an up and down motion; the grinding surfaces should be brushed very vigorously to remove all food lodged in the fissures; the tongue surface of the teeth should also be brushed in a similar manner; especial care should be taken to remove every particle of food from around and between the teeth after eating by thoroughly rinsing the mouth with a suitable mouth wash and by the free use of a quill toothpick and not a wooden toothpick, also a rubber band and floss silk may be employed by passing down between the teeth and removing all particles of food. It is not too much to say that the lengthening of the thread of life is due in a large measure to the improvement in the sanitation and efficiency of mouths that have heretofore been veritable oval cesspools. Public dental hygiene is a subject that is now discussed throughout the civilized world among all cultured people. What does all of this mean? It means that the men of science have awakened to the fact that a foul mouth is a sure prelude to a bad stomach and a bad stomach in the end means "slow music and flowers." In the first place, teeth decay only because of presence of germs in the mouth. These germs thrive in a filthy mouth and multiply by the millions if not disturbed. They are germs which produce putrefaction and fermentation and gas wherever they are. Then if they are in the mouth they are sure to get mixed in the food and swallowed with it. They at once set up gas and putrefaction in the alimentary canal and in time bring on indigestion. Furthermore, no one can properly masticate food without teeth or with bad teeth. One condition is as bad as another. Food not properly masticated cannot possibly be properly digested. Then there is an added tax on the digestive apparatus—that of trying to digest food not prepared for digestion. (To Be Continued) Ethiopians everywhere, We must feel our brothers' care; And on business swelling tide, Show the world our racial pride; Interdeal whence'er we can, Help advance our fellowman; Other races play this game, And we, too, must do the same. It is the intention of this institution to become a state bank during the month of September. Miss Eva Bell, a waitress at Harrison's Lunch Room, purchased the first "Whip" issued to the public. Mr. Lafayette Coleman, of 3244 Graves court, a huckster of many years, has discarded old Dobbin for a modern auto truck. R. W. Woodfolk and Company, Bank, 3201 State street, held an interesting meeting at St. John's Baptist church, 3434 Wabash avenue, Friday evening, June 28, 1919. The laundry and cigar store of Mr. T. J. Simms, 5 East 33rd street was totally destroyed by fire on Friday night last. It was fully covered by insurance. Mrs. Catherine Murray, 3153 State street, has opened up an up-to-date dressmaking establishment at 502 East 35th street, known as "My Lady's Style Shop" where can be found a full line of ladies wear of the nicer sort. If the restaurant keeper at 23 East 35th street, pays as little attention to all of his patrons as he did to the writer very recently it is safe to predict that in the near future we will find over his door inscribed in big red letters that old familiar sign which invariably follows in the wake of inefficiency, "This place changed hands." Mr. and Mrs. William Rhodes, of Pocatello, Idaho, are in the city on a visit, stopping at 4951 South Dearborn Street. While here Mrs. Rhodes is taking a special course in salesmanship under Harvey B. Saunders and will be representative of the Saunders system in her home town. She is absolutely satisfied there is a big opportunity for life in the West. R. W. Hunter and his efficient corps of speakers held forth at St. Paul's C. M. E. church, 46th and Dearborn streets, Sunday evening. A mighty favorable sentiment is being created in behalf of the proposed two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000.00) National bank, to be opened in the Angelus building in the near future. Subscriptions are pouring in from all parts of the country which more than spells the first half of the word success. If the thousands upon thousands of dollars of colored people's money now on deposit in white banks, and being loaned by these banks to white people to control the commercial situation even in our own district, was deposited in colored banks where it could be used by colored people for the betterment of their personal and collective good, we would not find it compulsory to send our washing to white laundries or to buy our wall-paper and hardware from white merchants nor would we have to go to the loop or to some white man's store in our respective neighborhood to buy a yard of gingham, a pair of shoes or a ready-to-wear dress or suit of clothes. How long, O Lord, how long, are we to be the victims of our own inconsistencies? 4
