SOUTH BARS NORTHERN NEGROES Make America and "Democracy" Safe for the Negro Vol. 1. No. 9 SOUT REPUBLICANS FUSE WITH DEMOGRATS To Defeat Colored Candidates in 14th Ward Fusion between the republicans and democrats, either openly or tacitly, is said to have been practically decided on in certain districts in the matter of selecting delegates to the constitutional convention. Several cases are reported where the republicans and democrats are reported as trying to get together, avoid partisanship and secure the election of representative delegates who will make a common sense basic law. Not all of the men who plan to go to the convention are in the list of primary candidates, it is said, and the democratic county committee in particular is expected to make several changes following the party selections, by inducing nominees to withdraw and leave vacancies to be filled by the district committees. In the 15th district, for instance, which is the home of Denis J. Egan, bailiff of the Municipal court, it is understood that one of the men to be nominated by the democrats will give way to Egan. John F. O'Malley, in the 21st district, also is said to be planning to substitute for one of the men named at the primaries. Little Heed to Party Lines. There probably never has been an election where so little attention has been paid to party indorsements as the present one. It is possible that the organization will get busy next week and give their approval to certain candidates, though it is known that in a number of cases it will be a case of hands off on the part of the organizations. This is particularly true with the republicans of the 19th district, which is considered the strongest democratic division in the city, democratic leaders being unable to understand why the republicans should make such a scramble for nominations which the democrats believe to be mere honors. The Thompson forces in this district are said to be badly split. The republicans in the 21st district, particularly in the 14th ward, are at sea regarding indorsements. The city hall has one avowed candidate, Charles S. Rasmussen, employed in the corporation counsel's office. George Lohman, deputy collector, also considered an admination man, is supposed to have the ward indorsement, but when it is asking the 14th ward Thompson leaders to support both Lohman and Rasmussen, the response is said to be somewhat chilly. Four Colored Petitions This is due, it is believed, to the fact that four colored voters of the ward have filed republican petitions, and the Thompson leaders do not wish to disturb present friendly relations with the colored vote by throwing their entire strength to two white candidates. The influx of Negroes to the 14th ward has been a steady movement, it is said, although this is the first time the colored voters have thought themselves strong enough in the district to make such a general effort to capture an office. The republican factions are said to have come to a general agreement all over the city in the matter of supporting candidates, the districts being recognized according to their representation in the county committee. There are several rough spots for the republicans to iron out, such as the 31st district, a Brundage stronghold. The Brundage organization has two candidates, Edward S. Day of the 25th ward and William H. Beckman of the 23rd ward. The Thompsonites have picked Eugene H. Dupee, attorney for the board of local improvements, and want to make a deal for Dupee and Beckman, both in the same ward. The 25th ward Brundage men refuse to listen to this and are demanding support for Day. William D. Taylor, who directed the last three Mary Pickford pictures on her Artercraft contract and then enlisted in the British Army has returned to Hollywood after nearly a year's absence. The CHICAGO WHIP THE DAWN OF A NEW DEO PAPER WITH A POLICY Adopts Constructive Program R. R. Morton Elected President St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 16.—The National Negro Business League held its twentieth annual convention in this city on August 13, 14 and 15, under the auspices of the local league, of which Aaron E. Malone, head of the wonderful and thriving Poro enterprise, is president. Promptly at 10 o'clock on the morning of the 13th the session was called to order by Mr. Malone, and after a most suitable and fitting address of welcome in which he told of the wonderful organization that had been built up in St. Louis through the enterprising effort and persistence of a few business men, he introduced the national president, J. C. Napier, of Nashville, Tennessee. Addresses of welcome were then made for the city by Mayor Kiel, for the Chamber of Commerce by Mr. Carl Baer, and by a representative from the Bureau of Publicity, the official city host. Many Delegates and Friends Present The city was crowded almost to capacity by the attendance of over two thousand delegates and friends from twenty-six states and representing every line of activity in the agricultural, industrial and commercial world. There were bank presidents and cashiers, oil magnates, department store heads, college presidents, and indeed men from all walks of life, all teeming with activity and demanding by their every word and act a new and progressive order of things. They seemed to realize that the time had come when the National Negro Business League must either become a more virile organization, acting as a valuable stimulant to Negro business or it must die from uselessness. Among the prominent people who have been identified with the league during its twenty years of existence and who were present were the following: J. C. Napier, president; Perry Howard, of Mississippi; Chas. Banks, of that entirely colored community, Mound Bayou, Miss.; Dr. R. K. Moton, Emmet J. Scott, Monroe N. Works, Tuskegee; Chas. H. Anderson, Florida; T.J. Elliot, Oklahoma; Chas. Stewart, Col. Marshall and Mr. and Mrs. R. S. Abbott, Chicago; Col. Otis P. Duncan, Springfield; Editor Knox and L. H. Stewart, Indiana; Rev. Boyd, Nashville; R. E. Jones, editor of the Southwestern Advocate, New Orleans; Mrs. Booker T. Washington, Tuskegee; Mrs. A. P. Randolph, of the Messenger, New York City; Mrs. Dora Cole Norman, New York City, and many others prominent in the business life of their several communities. President Napier Assails President Wilson In his annual address, President Napier was very outspoken in his criticism of President Wilson for his failure to make any pronouncement against mob violence and his refusal to take any steps whatever to eliminate the spirit of lawlessness which is permeating the country. He scored the President for having seen cause to condemn lynching when a white man was attacked, while he has maintained a rather singular silence in the fact of all the barbarous attacks made upon colored men. He called upon Woodrow Wilson to show himself President of all of the people instead of one group. Referring to the Washington and Chicago riots he characterized mob violence as the institution of the white man, and said it is fostered and maintained by him, and when the white man sees fit he can wipe it off the map without the semblance of blood-shed. The president's speech was full of virility and sincerity and elicited much applause from an audience of nearly three thousand persons. Outlines New Platform It remained, however, for Emmet J. Scott, secretary of the league and at present secretary-treasurer of Howard University, to outline the plans for the future activities of the league and the new day which is in store. He began (Continued on Page 7) SOLVING THE RACE PROBLEM WHAT WOULD YOU SUGGEST TO AS HELP FUL TO YOUR RACE?

SUPPOSED RACE LEADER "CHICAGO TRIBUNE HE- SPONSIBLE FOR RIOTS" Has No Plans or Policies Worth Consideration, Says Southern Newspaper New Orleans, La., Aug. 21.—The Times Picayune, one of the largest publications in the south, in an editorial entitled "Criticism from the South," made an open, uncompromising attack upon the Chicago Tribune, denouncing it as illogical, irresponsible and without truth. The editorial reads as follows: The Chicago Tribune, having helped to stir up the race trouble in that city, now veers around and protests against what it styles "criticism from the South." That it has been virulent for years in its abuse of this section, irresponsible, illogical and without truth has long been recognized not only by the people of this section, but by many of its own people, and it has been compelled to come forth from time to time with explanations and modifications. The Times-Picayune has received frequent clippings from the Tribune about the South with suggestions that we call attention to the falsities or absurdities; but we have long since reached the conclusion that nothing is to be gained by this. The Tribune does not want to be set right. Its prejudice, animosities and bitterness are so deep seated as to render it a waste of time to discuss questions affecting the South with a man made mad by some personal grievance or self-interest. We have felt, too, that the very radicalism of the Tribune sufficiently answered its own articles of abuse as to undo much of the harm they sought to attain. The Tribune has seen lately that its policy of hate was stirring up troubles and riots that have lately disgraced Chicago and cost it heavily, and it has taken to issuing warnings on the subject, but it has been noted that it has no plan or policy worth a moment's consideration looking to ending the deplorable conditions that it had helped to create in the "Windy City." It has been singing a different tune since the riots and advocates a policy of segregation of the races which the South has found the best way of preventing friction and race troubles. It has, indeed, gone as far as to say that "this is a white man's country." It is unusual that a company could lose scads of money with a star, presumably because of too much salary and then have a half dozen companies offer the same star even more money, knowing of the experience. Kansas City, Aug. 21.—H. P. Ewing, a Negro, and former Kaw Valley "Potato King" is now promoting with L. H. Miles a colonization scheme to sell 30,000 acres of Arkansas land to Negroes. Mr. Ewing has been a social worker among his people in Greater Kansas City and has the backing of Phil. Toll, the lumber king, in his newest enterprise. Ewing is a man of ambition, visions and stamina, who sees a future for the black man if he can only be educated along the right lines. He at one time had more than 1,000 acres of potatoes in the Kaw Valley and in 1896 shipped 206 car loads of potatoes, the production from his farm which is twenty miles west of Kansas City. He worked five years trying to stamp out the vice among the negroes of Kansas City. His work along these lines was also a success, as he succeeded in closing some of the worst places of vice in the city. He has plans for the future that look as well as those of his work in the past. "I want the Negro to go back to the farm," he says, "for I know if I can get him away from the vice of the City and to understand the advantages of a country life that I will have done him a good deed and started him on the upward climb." It is his plan to split the 35,000 acres of cleared and timbered land in the Yell and Perry valleys of Arkansas into tracts of 40 to 100 acres, and sell these tracts to Negroes, only at prices varying from $10 to $25 an acre. He will erect a school of native hewed logs in which to teach the Negro better agricultural methods in order that they may make successful farmers. None of the land which Mr. Ewing has is more than three miles from the railroad and is said to be very productive. The timber on the land, if cut and marketed, will pay for the land. Mr. Ewing figures that if he can make the Negro see the opportunity that all of the land will be disposed of by December. He will not try to get the Kansas City Negroes to take up this land as he declares they are Kansas City spoiled and could not be easily induced to give up the bright lights. "If I could just pound into the Negro's head the difference between racial distinction and prejudice, I would have overcome a mountain," says Mr. Ewing. With plenty of enthusiasm he is tackling a big job for the betterment of the race. Courts to Act to Avoid Trouble Oakland, Cal., Aug. 21.—What is easily described as one of the most primitive, brutal and cowardly crimes in a supposed civilized community was the cowardly attack by white hoodlums upon Mr. William Harris, wife and daughter, who reside at 617 Jackson street, a so-called exclusive residential section of Oakland, Cal. Harris Wealthy Citizen. Mr. Harris is one of the wealthiest colored men in this section of the country. He owns valuable real estate in the heart of the city. His daughter is a student at the University of California and is said to be one of the most popular and brilliant matriculants. Mob Attacks Twice. The mob, it is said, made first an attack upon Mr. Harris, who was not reluctant about defending himself and his home. Their efforts to frighten Mr. Harris proving a failure, the savages feared to return in person. With the financial aid of certain white real estate sharks, it is alleged they hired some of the lower element of white women to attack Mrs. and Miss Harris. Women Beaten. In making a complaint in his request for a warrant, Mr. Harris stated that these women, without ceremony or provocation, came to his home, called his wife and daughter to the door and by a preponderance of numbers succeeded in giving them a severe beating. If the courts fail to prosecute the offenders it is reported that serious trouble will follow. White Men Arrested for Fires in Riot Zones A number of young whites between the ages of 17 and 20 are being sought by the police for being responsible for the fires during the recent riots. Many have already been taken into custody. Fugitive warrants have been issued for those who might leave town before they can be located. These mobs of young hoodlums took advantage of the excitement during the riots and set fire to homes and pilfered the belongings to furnish their clubrooms. Ministers and others are censuring the authorities for failing to gather sufficient evidence against whites and blacks who have been arraigned before Judge Crowe.

COLORED MAN HONORED BY WEALTHY ORLEANIANS "Club on Wheels" Celebrates 25th Anniversary of Alfred Long New Orleans, Aug. 21.—Alfred Long was the guest of the "Club on Wheels." This club is the only one of its kind in America. Mr. Long has been in charge of the club rooms, which are a specially arranged car, "Beauvoir," since the institution was formed. The car is chartered from the Louisville & Nashville Railroad by men who have offices in the city and summer homes on the gulf coast. The members are all daily customers, and in congenial surroundings enjoy all the conveniences of a first-class club in the unique conveyance. Long has been a great aid in making the club car both popular and famous. Tuesday was his twenty-fifth birthday, so the appreciative members prepared a surprise for him. Long prepared the car as usual for his guests and was waiting to give the service as before when the commuters arrived. To his surprise they came in and requested him to do his uniform and get into his street clothes. The faithful porter thought that this was a summary, dischar when lo and behold, he was thrusted the comfortable cushions of a reel of chair and showered with gifts. A prominent banker of the Cree City administered to his wante other rulers of the southern metropolis wealth entertained him in various ways Long, who at the time was non-plussed finally found himself and stammered out a few words of thanks. The town is still talking of this event which was staged in the heart of the south. 15th New York to Have Armory New York, Aug. 21.—Action on the part of the Board of Estimate in the matter of an armory for the Fifteenth New York Regiment can be expected in the early fall. This was forecasted by Acting Controller Hahlo yesterday. Controller Hahlo stated that there were a number of offers received by his office for property located between 134th and 142d streets, between Eighth avenue and Lenox avenue, but that all offers so far were considered exorbitant. “Our claim has already brought about considerable reductions.” Hahlo continued, “but not enough to satisfy us yet. It is reasonable to assume, however, that the matter will be before the Board of Estimate for final settlement in the early fall.” The Seated Soldier—Yes, Mum; a red chevron means a man's married, and each blue one means a kid.

Bar Northern Blacks One of the ungainly palefaced exploiters drew a pandemonious applause from the audience when the arose and stated that all gladiators that are to be actively engaged in replenishing the depleted southern labor ranks "should take special precautions to bar all northern 'niggers,' because the South could not waste its valuable time in preparing necktie parties."

"I think it is safe to say that every southern negro in the north would be brought back without expense to him if southern farmers and plantation owners knew where and how to get in touch with the southern-born. We don't want and will not have northern negroes." BLACK BELT URGED IN OAK PARK Village Board Urged to Set Aside a District E. H. Mundt, real estate dealer, Oak Park, suggested in a letter to George W. Pyott, president of the village board, that a zone be established where Negroes would be allowed to live. More than 300 colored people sought refuge in Oak Park during the rioting in Chicago and are living with friends and relatives. In his missive, Mr. Mundt pointed out that the colored people had been instrumental in bringing the war to a successful close and pleaded that they be given homes in Oak Park.

The congregation was prompt at 8:15. Dr. H. E. Stewart, Pastor of the church and his very efficient choir and Rev. Johnson, Assistant Pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church who led the Invocation, were all in their places when the big organ sounded its opening note. The singing showed culture, system, method and much of heart culture. A letter was read from Senator Samuel A. Ettelson, Corporation Counsel of the City of Chicago, stating his inability to be present. Principal Richard D. Stinson, Atlanta Normal and Industrial Institute, in a few pithy statements, stated the object of the meeting and told of the school's needs to give a larger field to the very deserving boys and girls from 10 years old up and how the race could not hope to make substantial headway worth while if the hand, the soul, and the mind was not fully developed. Mr. Charles Hatfield Dickerson, one of the best informed men of the race made a strong plea for education of all kinds for the colored youth and as near as possible give it in the same dose and along the same line it is given the masses of other people. Said he could not account how the Negro youth should be given a different brand of education to that of other American citizens and yet he was expected to do his work as well and as intelligently. Said the records show that the white child in Georgia has from $7 to $12 per year spent on him and the Negro boy and girl have but $1.75 to $2.50 spent on him, and yet it is too frequently said the south is the place for our ignorant masses and the industrial man of that appeared as a slave and a hunfriend.

Wright and John R. Hawkins, Financial Secretary, A. M. E. Church, Washington, D. C., as specimens of what training in the south from money of Christian philanthropists given in other days. He urged that our people in the north do as the Rev. Dr. H. E. Stewart, his officers and members of the church are doing. Said he, I've been in Chicago and in this section of the country from the state of Georgia, my birthplace, twenty years. I have never known a prominent Negro church of the caliber of Quinn Chapel to give a full Sunday night service to a Negro school, simply for the asking of the pastor to do so. And why has Dr. Stewart allowed this? Because, he is an educated, christian, broad gaged man, after the fashion of the men who built an extended African Methodist Church in other days. Rev. H. E. Stewart and his congregation show by this act that they are interested in our people everywhere to the end of giving a solid foundation upon which they must build. Do you ask me if anything good Sings "Blues" to Prove He Is Colored Bob Mayfield, prominent club man and beau brummel around town, had composed new "blues" entitled "I am a Colored Man." It was composed and sung extemporaneously at the request of a gang of south side hoodlums of color, who were in search of white meat in the recent unpleasantness. He was stopped at the corner of 35th and Dearborn streets on his return from his itinery, it is said, to get a scoop for a certain newspaper. Due to his fair complexion and blonde hair, the leader of the hoodlums called him to halt. The following conversation ensued: Hoodlum: "Are you white or colored?" Mayfield: "I'm Colored, Mister, look at my hair." The hoodlum becoming confounded with the nearness to which the texture of his locks resembled that of the Caucasian, caused the hoodlum to say, "the only way that you can prove to me beyond reasonable doubt that you are Colored, sing me a staff of some 'blues.'" As quick as a flash, out of an abyss of nothing, Mayfield sang with the melody and harmony of Ollie Powers, "I never was so near to Heaven or to H—— in my life." Whereupon the 'hoodlum' was satisfied as to what race Mayfield belonged, altho he had a way of showing it. Thereupon, field was released.

I only reply by saying, ask the ministers of both races who are the majority in filling the pulpits of Chicago and from what section of the country did they come? Let's help to educate our people in the south because they are having a hard time along educational lines. And notwithstanding $10.00 is spent on the white child in Georgia for education and $2.25 upon the black child. There are Negroes creeping around Chicago for the want of information, experience and history, talking about segregation or separate schools and jim crow accommodations in other things. We will never have it as long as my head is warm and I am able to do a man's part. Help Mr. Stinson and his school. I went through building and grounds during the month of June. I was surprised at the great and good work he is doing with that class of our race lowest down in the struggle of life. Many persons contributed and made subscriptions and they hope to make the collection $1000 during the week, as Mr. Stinson leaves returning to Atlanta to arrange for the opening of his school on Sept. 15th. The meeting will not soon be forgotten to those who were present and the impression made for good was in every way impressive. SIR KNIGHTS AND SISTERS OF CALANTHE K. OF P.

Sunday morning Dr. Thompson spoke to a crowded congregation at Bethesda Baptist Church, and in the evening at Olivet Baptist Church. Dr. Thompson is the father of Mr. Charles H. Thompson, who graduated at the University of Chicago just before joining the 803rd Pioneer Infantry for overseas service. Man Enters Homes in Hyde Park Through Windows On account of many robberies which have occurred in the last few days by someone climbing through the windows of homes in Hyde Park, the residents have been warned to keep their windows closed. It is claimed that a tall, thin colored man wearing a derby hat would ease into open windows, pick up anything of value, then ease out again. Mrs. Agnes Mahoney, 5236 Kenwood avenue, watched him enter her home, pick up $50 and step out of a window. A beauty parlor at 1342 Fifty-third and a residence at Fifty-fourth and Cornell were entered in the same manner. In a speech before the Chicago Association of Commerce on the La Salle roof garden, Attorney General Brundage asked for quick punishment of the race rioters. Mr. Brundage also took occasion to defend the constitutional rights of the colored people against segregation. His speech follows: "Americans are notorious in their disregard for law," he said. "This is the outgrowth of early days when the oppressed came here to escape too much law and then would not accept enough law. Mob violence is hard to explain. Men who would not do a thing individually will commit horrible depredations when part of a mob. "I say, with all regard for the sheriff and the chief of police, that it is extremely unfortunate for Chicago that black men should be chased through the streets of this city and killed and no arrests made. Prosecution Only Cure. The sure antidote for mob law is a vigorous prosecution of everybody responsible for rioting. In 1917 there were similar riots in East St. Louis. When it was over not a man, black or white, was in jail, yet a vigorous prosecution sent sixty-one to the penitentiary or jail, and there has been no recurrence of race rioting there. "There is nothing new in race prejudice. There has been prejudice between all races and the color of the Negro's skin makes him an easy mark in these outbreaks. "The law apparently awakened a disregard for civil law and order. Men have become dissatisfied and life is being held cheaply. "There is more than a suspicion in the assertion that white men in Chicago have contributed financially to destroy the homes of Negries. In Illinois the Fourteenth Amendment is going to be recognized. The Negro is no longer a slave and is now an industrial factor and common sense must be used in dealing with him. Calls Negro Loyal "One thing I wish to emphasize, and that is the loyalty of the Negro. He has always been true to the Stars and Stripes, and has never joined any organization founded with the intention of destroying our institutions, "Segregation has been proposed. As long as there is any blood and bone in the constitution there can be no lawful restriction between citizens possessing equal political rights."

Solid South to Lose Representation in Congress Birmingham, Ala., Aug. 21.—There is a determined effort being made in Congress to force the issue with reference to voting colored citizens in the South Newspapers in every section are discussing the subject. A number of newspapers believe that every citizen regardless of race should be given the ballot. Some, however, are greatly alarmed over the possibility of the southern representation being cut down. With reference to this particular phase of the subject, the Birmingham, Ala., News says editorially. "And Senator Poindexter has introduced*a similar resolution." The St. Louis Globe-Democrat, the leading Republican paper of the Central West, says that these resolutions "mean that the Republicans are determined to put through this plan if they can—that is to change the basis of representation in Congress from population to the number of votes cast. Under this plan the Southern States would lose 64 representatives—Alabama 7, Arkansas 3, Florida 2, Georgia 9, Kentucky 1, Louisiana 6, Maryland 1, Mississippi 6, North Carolina 3, South Carolina 6, Oklahoma 2, Tennessee 2, Texas 9, Virginia 6. Of course there would be a corresponding loss of votes in the electoral college and thus the relative power of the Republican party, in electing the president and controlling the congress, would be established for an indefinite period. Man Sent to Sing Sing New York, Aug. 21.—Sentence was passed on Andrew Fawcett, 59, a porter in a store at 208 West 143rd street, by Judge McIntyre in Part 1 of General Sessions this week. Fawcett pleaded guilty of attempted grand larceny and was given from one year and three months to two years and six months in Sing Sing. Clothing and gents' furnishings to the amount of $300 had been missing from Weber & Heibronner's store at 1503 Broadway, on June 10. Fawcett, who was employed there at that time, was suspected, but no charges were brought against him then by the management. It was not made known to him that he was suspected but was allowed to work a month longer, when he was caught carr, shop goods away. He was followed to y. home, where a trunk was found containing the sofen property. VARREN Sells the Earth in Real Estate E US WARREN FICES Chicago, Illinois Gary, Indiana Texarkana, Ark. White Policeman Attacks Woman New York, Aug. 21.—Joseph L. Horn, white, of the West Twentieth Street Station, lies in a cell in his own station, charged with the unmentionable offense perpetrated on the person of Mrs. Helen Dille, a young married woman residing at 302 West 121st street. He was immediately suspended by Third Deputy of Police August Drum Porter, who is acting commissioner. Mrs. Dille was on her way down town to meet a friend when she was accosted by the bluecoat and questioned. After asking her an improper question, which she refused to answer as she wished, he grabbed her and forced her into an unoccupied building where she was attacked by the brutal officer. After the alleged assault, she went to the Charles Street station to make a complaint against Horn and was directed to the West Twentieth Street station, where she entered the complaint. Corporal Horn has a wife and children. We are glad to state that no such charge' or complaint of this kind has ever gone on record against a colored policeman. Colored Candidate Double Crossed by White Republicans Louisville, Aug. 21.—The Republicans of this city may lose the vote of the 40,000 colored Republicans here on account of "double crossing" Editor Worley of the News at the recent election. Mr. Worley was a candidate for the legislature in one of the heaviest populated colored districts in the state. It is reported that the count was crooked and Worley was handed the double cross in every way. The whites who tried to buy off Worley will find at the next election that the entire colored vote will be thrown against the Republican party.

The Overton-Hygienic Mfg. Co. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS Colored Man Arrested for Inducing People to Leave "South" New Orleans, Aug. 21.—There is a state law in Louisiana which prevents labor agents from securing laborers in that state and shipping them to points out of its boundaries. The first arrest for the violation of this order was that of Mondane Jones, colored, who was taken into custody and charged with violation of the above law. Jones, it is alleged, was shipping people of his color to points outside of the state from the town of Bessemer. When arrested he was making arrangements at the depot of the Alabama Great Southern Railroad. A large number of men and women were at the station preparing to leave when the labor agent was taken in charge. There were many labor agents in Bessemer who were doing a big business until this so-called law, violating the constitutional rights of the people, went into effect. The labor agents have all left town, fearing that they would receive the same treatment handed Jones. Street Car Conductor Robbed and Arrested James A. Hart, 5702 South Halsted street, a street car conductor, claims that he was standing at the mouth of an alley negotiating an illegal contract with Mrs. Mary Hall, 21, colored, of 110 West Twentieth street, when he was robbed of $12 and a watch valued at $35 by P. T. Sanders, 2112 South Dearborn street, colored, who appeared on the scene. After losing his valuables, Hart cried out for help. His cries were heard by three policemen, who rushed to his aid; they chased and arrested the woman and Sanders at the latter's home. After signing the complaint against the man and woman, Hart was held on a charge of disorderly conduct.

The need and the greater your experiences by HIGH-BROWN will appeal to you. both as velvet and The New Democracy It goes without saying that one of the greatest stains ever left upon any race is the great crisis we have just passed through for which the white people are wholly to blame; for if you continue to kick a dog around he will bite you after a while. The white man or the white woman who lost their lives in this great riot did so at their own peril and for nothing. The colored man or colored woman who lost their lives did so for something. The rights of the white man or woman in America has never been questioned or privileges ever been marred, no matter whether they were a citizen or not, they had protection of the law. It made no difference whether they were right or wrong. The Negro did not say he would not live in the same neighborhood nor in the same house with the white man no matter how poor the white man was or how rich the Negro was; it mattered not to the Negro how poor or humble the white man was, his home was protected and was not bombed because he was a white man, but the Negro who educated himself and raised himself from the low levels to the higher plane in life bought a respectable home in a better and more respected neighborhood, his house was in jeopardy and told he would have to move. I will ask any well thinking white man if he does not think it is a shame to ask Negroes to go to war to fight to redeem them and to return to a country where they are supposed to have a home and find they have none and denied the rights under the Stars and Stripes to even spend their money. The white hoodlums who start the disturbances and trouble seem to be backed up by the better class of white people, who set in silence instead of forming themselves in any one committee to break this band of error. When the head of our government segregating and mistreating the o in Washington then the trouble country began. Again I want to any sensible thinking white person money would not resent these conditions. When a white man or woman came down State street shooting at will in automobiles three in two and five in a truck, at anyone and respected persons, a policeman sitting on a horse at Thirty-fifth and State street made no attempt whatever to apprehend them until run down by a Packard machine with three colored men. Many other incidents occurred by the police force which caused trouble. When the whites formed themselves in big mobs in the city, they were bent on taking the life of a negro without any cause. When the Negroes were pulled off the street cars at Forty-seventh street and beaten into insensibility, the better class of whites offered no protection, and when the Negro tried to protect himself he was called a desperado by the police force. White people thinking of how the jobs have been taken from them by the downtown stores, I wonder if in their own hearts they ever stop to think what an American means when they are taking the earnings from 75,000 Negroes who did not come to this country with wooden shoes on as emigrants, but are truly born Americans who could be trusted in the time of war. They were not blowing up factories, poisoning meats or guests in hotels, but wereighting in the trenches as loyal Americ even though they were mounded mistreated in time of war by white officers. But let me say to my white brother, you have time to repent for what you have done to the Negro. The reaction is bound to come. Let me say to you so-called Americans, who gave a club and gun and the law to a man as police who can not govern himself in Europe, how do you expect that man to mete out justice to another race who the so-called Americans are manufacturing hatred against. I do not uphold anyone in wrong-doing any more than I would the Chicago Defender, whose agitation is beyond all reasons, and the weaker class take advantage of such print known as the mad house. The more you read it, the more angry you become, and the so-called leaders do not put a stop to such inflammatory articles. When I were a boy I learned of the horrors that had taken place in Russia and the empires of czars. How Belgium treated the black man by burning his eyes out with pokers, cutting his nose and cars off under the leadership of Leopold. How France treated the great statesman and warrior, Toussant L. Overture. How England owned and sold Negro slaves. France has completely wiped such a sting from her pages and left a clean sheet. The United States and the so-called Americans have that lesson to learn and I am told the price they will pay for the unjust treatment to the American Negro and the 3,500 lynchings in this country will be a dear one. Many a congressman and senator today will live to see when these conditions confront them and will say, CRIPPLED SOLDIERS August 19, 1919. The main services held Sunday, July 17, 1919, at Olivet Baptist church, 31st and South Park avenue, also at the old home church, 27th and Dearborn street, were well attended. Overflow meetings at the 31st and South Park church were conducted by Rev. Raybon, last Sunday. The church has been doing relief work in many ways among the people, such as helping to feed, and house. We contributed in various ways more than #700.00. In addition to this we are operating church autobuses. The problem with the Olivet Baptist church is to find a building sufficient to house people who attend the services. More than eight hundred persons are turned away every Sunday. The pastor and officers have set themselves to the task of relieving the situation. RESOLUTIONS FROM CAR EMPLOYES' LOCAL NO.268 Offered and Accepted at the 20th. General Convention Held in Providence, R. I., by P. D. Campbell and N. S. Wims, Representing Local No. 268. Whereas, there are thousands of men employed in the Sleeping Car and Dining Car Service on the various railroads of this country who are eligible to and should be members of our Union, and Whereas, the Companies that employ these men have been instrumental in forming other Organizations, dual to ours, having in many instances financed such movements to prevent men of this class from becoming identified with a bona fide Labor Union, and Whereas, these men must depend entirely upon their united effort in order to increase their wages and effect such other changes relative to working conditions that can place them on the same economic level with other workers, Therefore be it Resolved, that it be the common understanding of all delegates to this, the Twentieth General Convention of the HOTEL AND RESTAURANT EMPLOYES' INTERNATIONAL ALLIANCE AND BARTENDERS' INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE OF AMERICA, that every possible force be placed in this particular situation that will aid and encourage members of SLEEPING CAR PORTERS' AND DINING CAR WAITERS' LOCAL No. 268 in their attempt to thoroughly organize all workers of their craft to the end that thru the powerful influence and strength of our united forces we can place our craft, as well as other lines of employment, in the same standing and imbue in the minds of these men a spirit of solidarity that will place them in a position of self-respect and on a level with other intelligent groups of wage earners. West Side Newsboys on Strike The five newsboys of the Westside, employed by Mr. A. W. White to sell the Colored Chicago weeklies, formed a union sometime ago, elected a spokesman and presented their demands to Mr. White. The most important demand being an increase of a cent more per copy for selling the papers. Mr. White was not inclined to grant the increase and when they found late Saturday evening that they had the losing end and that the people were coming end after their own papers, they finally capitulated. They also found that only two of their number could be employed at the old rate so they are about to call another meeting to see if the remaining three can be put back to work on the old basis. 50 CENTS FOR WHISKY BRINGS POLICE RAID Los Angeles, Aug. 23.—That they "were charged 50 cents for a taste of whisky" and paid prices in proportion for several other varieties of "hard" drinks, was the report made by members of police "Purity Squad" following a raid in W. Seventh st. More than $10,000 worth of liquor was seized in the raid. Joseph Frinalli, proprietor, and two waiters were arrested. O God! if I had only done my duty when I were in the position to do so the conditions would not be as they are today, or would I have to die and leave such a stain upon my family. I ask the public to think the above over and if you are too prejudiced to be an American, at least be a man. G. W. Lambert, 3524 Forest Ave., Chicago, Ill. By John Riley, A. F. of L. Organizer. Charter for the train porters' union No. 16794 was delivered Wednesday, August 13, 1919, by Organizer Smith of the American Federation of Labor and the officers will be installed Thursday, August 21, at 3749 Vincennes Ave. These men are beginning to appreciate the benefits of organization, which was exemplified in the interest shown in the first meeting held after charter and outfit were received. They are a real live enthusiastic bunch of workers who are determined to stand together and effect such changes in conditions that will be beneficial to them as workers. Attorney John Condon, representing the packers, made a wonderful grandstand speech August 13 for the benefit of the Judge and packers in the arbitration hearing and attempted to defeat claims made by Pres. John Fitzpatrick of the Chieyo Federation of Labor in placing the blame on the packers for all the misunderstanding and dissatisfaction that has occurred in the packing industry in the past year. Judge Samuel Alschuler was rather pointed in his statements relative to the responsibility of the workers insofar as he claimed that they had deliberately violated the terms of the agreement. Armour and Morris seemed to be the only two that were opposed to reinstating the men involved in the walkout of Saturday. Mr. Brennen of the Independent Packing Company wore an expression of innocence and attempted to show how his company, being an independent concern, had suffered a material loss and the percentage of profit had been greatly reduced. At the business meeting of Local 651 held Friday night, August 15, 21 new members were initiated and Mrs. Mercer made an interesting talk on the value of co-operation and the encouragement of commercial activities among colored people. A. K. Foote, Secretary-Treasurer, was elected delegate to the Wage Scale Conference of the International Union, to be held in Kansas City, Kan., August 19. Resolution from the Woman's Trade Union League was received and adopted and its recommendations concurred in. Letter received from P. D. Campbell, delegate from the Sleeping Car, Parlor Car Porters' and Dining Car Employees' Local 268, to the 20th Convention of the H. & R. E. I. A. and B. I. L. of A. held in Providence. R. I., contained many interesting notes of encouragement, and from appearance the two delegates have put the entire program thru which will spell unlimited success for that Local Union W. H. Mumford, Secretary of Federal Labor Union 15,355, Beaumont Texas, sends encouraging news from his section of the country and states that the power and influence of the organization is growing steadily every day and they are asking for closer cooperation between the various central bodies. The Doek and Marine Council are taking steps to stand closer together. They desire Chicago papers and are anxious to keep in touch with the labor movement of this section. The issue of "The Chicago Whip" of August 13 is their banner Labor issue. It contains a group photo of the delegates to the 39th Annual Convention of the A. F. of L. and the comment by the editor, and the resolution offered at this convention by delegate Wm. F. Kavanagh of the New Jersey State Federation of Labor, together with the editorial under caption "Where Do We Go From Here," are brimful of interest pertaining to humanity in general. Delegates from the Sleeping Car, Parlor Car Porters' and Dining Car Employees' Local 268 to the General Convention of H. & R. E. I. A. and B. I. L. of A., held in Providence, R. I., returned to the city Sunday night the 17th, and from all appearance the entire program they presented was put over. Secretary A. K. Foote of Butcher Workmen Local 651, left the city Monday night, August 18, to attend the wage scale conference of the A. M. C. & B. W. of N. A., to be held in Kausas City, Kam., August 19. Mr. Foote was elected to represent Local 651 after receiving a majority of all votes east at the business meeting of Local 651, held Friday night, Aug. 15. G. W. Downing, who has acted as Examiner in Charge, U. S., Free Employment Office at 2727 S. State St., at the Soldiers' and Sailors' Welfare Bureau, is expected to leave the city in a few days with a commission for the purpose of establishing a Welfare League in the state of Mississippi, thru which they intend to develop plans and methods thru which compulsory education can be applied to all classes of people and improve the school systems of the entire state until they can alleviate many of the conditions that are the direct cause of ignorance. THE CHICAGO WHIP MARSHALL TO SPEAK AT UNITED CIVIC LEAGUE Brilliant Orator Brings Vital Message to People Attorney Eugene J. Marshall, one of the race's brilliant and fearless orators, will speak at the United Civic League in Odd Fellows Hall, Sunday afternoon, August 24, at 5:30 P. M. The subject of his address will be "The Challenge." Marshall has always fought for the great principle of "equal rights to all and special privileges to none," and he will endeavor to show that the greatest need of the hour is—justice to all men, regardless of color, creed or condition. School Teacher Shoots Man in School Yard Little Rock, Atk., Aug. 21.—Miss Lizzie Minnifield, young school teacher, shot and instantly killed H. H. Johnson at the Riverview Colored School on the Roberts plantation near here. The killing was witnessed by many of the children who testified that the girl shot in self-defense. This is the second killing here since Saturday. Humphreys Pitman, a colored farmer, was killed Saturday evening in a dispute with another man. Mrs. Mercer, an intelligent colored lady of our city who has developed a number of table delicacies and formulas for soft drinks, appeared before some of the officers of Vineulum Co-Operative Society and agreed to become interested in the co-operative movement by giving the benefit of her experience as a compounding chemist along these lines if certain dispositions could be made agreeable to all. "The Whip" cracked last week and the echoes were heard in many industrial centers outside of Chicago; then "The New Majority" with the Chicago Federation of Labor's Proclamation dropped in on the ministers of this city and they are beginning to see a new light and that is the light of freedom for the toiling masses and its dazzling brightness is gradually clearing away the mist and new opportunities for further development are being sought and secured for the workers thru various agencies that are dedicated to the interest of humanity thru the labor movement. A serious attempt will be made by the officers and members of Local 651 in spite of the handicaps to complete 100 per cent unionization in the Stock-yards. We are being materially aided by a number of agencies that think they are doing us harm. Programs are being prepared to further the interest of the labor movement in such an effective way that all opposition will be swept aside. This is the workers' only opportunity to safeguard all existing standards and add materially to other benefits that they are entitled to. That's why they are willing to organize. Many of the workers who have been thrown out of employment as a result of the recent race riot, especially in the packing houses, have been compelled to dispose of their Liberty Bonds. Local 651 of Butcher Workmen has agreed that the Secretary-Treasurer of their organization stand instructed to purchase such bonds from the members of the organization at the prevailing market price, which is a great deal more than they could possibly secure for a Liberty Bond of any denomination were it disposed of thru some of the profiteering, burglarizing agencies who are attempting to make usurious profits for themselves and at the same time deliberately rob the workers. If you are a working man or woman and have a Liberty Bond for sale and do not want to sell it to Local 651, kindly call at their office and they will find out what the market price is for the bond and give you all information possible to keep someone from systematically robbing you by trying to discount these bonds and secure a greater profit for themselves than would be reasonable to expect under the circumstances. The Vineulum Co-Operative Society, having secured the charter, has decided to hold meetings the second and fourth Sunday of each month at 3 P. M. at 4358 S. State St., Wright's hall. It is the aim of the Directors to make these meetings as interesting as possible and everybody is invited to take advantage of this opportunity to learn and understand the great benefits that the cooperative movement is to the workers' interest in general.

CYRUS Funeral Director 4821 South State Street Successor to F. A. Rawlins Calls Answered Promptly—Low Prices—Efficient Ser EMBALMING A SPECIALTY SHIPMENTS MADE ALL OVER THE WO Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 21.—This city offers Chicago several suggestions for the improvement of its police methods. The police here have been on the look-out for race trouble for two years. At present they are hunting for a Negro, claiming to be from Chicago, who attempted to get certain colored persons to arm. He spoke last Sunday in a colored church after the services. From several who heard him the police have learned that he said substantively: "Now is the time for colored people to arm. Get ready. The white man is against you and you must prepare to defend yourself." MRS. MILLER OFFERS $400 TO BURGLAR FOR HER CAPE 5.24 BREWERS CALL CONVENTION TO CONCENTRATE THE WETS Atlantic City, Aug. 13.—Believing the feeling against "air tight" Prohibition can be concentrated for a repeal of the wartime liquor laws, the Brewers' National Association have called a conference for Sept. 28 at the Traymore Hotel. The United States Brewers' Association is in charge of the convention, which will last for a week. A. B. plied, "we notified all dealers to stop the sale of firearms and ammunition, and they co-operated. We have doubled the two night shifts of police in certain colored precincts. We don't allow crowds to congregate in the areas where white and colored are liable to get to talking." "Have you had any race trouble?" "Some time back when a colored woman moved into a white residence district we deemed it prudent to be alert," the chief said. "We gave orders to compel every one on the streets in the threatening territory to keep moving. The brother and two nephews of a police lieutenant had to be beaten up before they were convinced we meant for every one to move. One of these young men had an arm broken." Keep Curb on Radicals. "How do you handle the reds, I. W. W.s and other radicals?" "They cannot parade without a permit," the chief said. "I prescribe their line of march. They cannot hold a meeting in any hall before they obtain our consent, give a list of the speakers and designate in what language they will talk. No one can speak who has been indicted in any city. "We have our interpreters and stenographers present. Any disloyal statement or utterance suggesting violence or disturbance stops the meeting and the leaders are arrested. "This will serve as an illustration: We gave a permit for a meeting and a parade, but not along the route desired for the radicals. At the meeting one speaker suggested that the crowd march out of the hall on streets for which they had no permit. At that moment our detectives arrested twenty-nine and the magistrate fined each $10. The judges co-operate closely." How They Handle Strikes. "Any special method on strikes?" was asked. "We permit peaceful picketing, but prohibit yelling and singing, such as you describe in Buffalo and New York," the chief explained. "No striker can put his hand on any worker. We even accompany workers on the street cars to and from employment. "Any policeman who joins a labor union will be discharged. That question was settled here two years ago." While Chicago has had seven bank robberies this year, Philadelphia has not had one in s. "If we were, the town would go wild," the chief said, who has been in office seven years. "I don't remember that we have had one in my nineteen years in the department." Two methods of curbing vice are said to have proven satisfactory. The woman of the street, who is arrested, or her male parasite, goes to the bureau of identification to leave a photograph and finger prints. A policeman is stationed in front of a gay flat on which direct and convincing evidence cannot be readily obtained. As an aid in recovering stolen automobiles, Pennsylvania has just passed a law requiring the purchaser of a car to make an affidavit and file it with the police department. The police have the power to lift up the hood of a car and get the number, and failure of a buyer to file the prescribed affidavit subjects him to arrest and a maximum penalty of a bunk in jail. This affidavit describes the car in detail and gives considerable information regarding both seller and buyer. Jail Habitual Criminals. The STAGE CRITICISM IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL TO PUBLIC MORAL AND PUBLIC TASTE "Is Polite Comedy Polite?" It was early in spring on a rather chilly day in California, that Fay Tineher was seen dashing out of a Hollywood costumer's with a small package in her hand. She stopped her blithe, some tripping down the boulevard long enough to say "I'm tickled to death! I'm going back into comedy—society comedies, too, if you please. You know Christie Comedies, don't you? They're nice, refined little human dramas. They don't throw pies, they don't get you all mussed up, you know, real high-class stuff. These are going to be special two-reel comedies. Look, I've got my costume in my hand," and she waved the little package, which was about the size of a half pound of coffee. "I'm going to play a chorus girl." In her first Christie Special, "Sally's Blighted Career," Fay played "Sally." The first thing they did to blight her career was to kick her off the runway. A runway in musical comedies is an article designed for the light tripping of dainty footed chorus girls over the heads of the audience. Fay tripped, all right but neither lightly nor daintily. In her capacity as the prize boob chorus girl it was so ordained by the scenario person who thinks up foolish things for actresses to do, she fell with a dull thud upon the unfortunate head of Scott Sidney, one of the directors who had been impressed into service as atmosphere because of the possession of a bald head. Miss Tincher finished the scene with three bruises. Mr. Sidney had some also Chicago Negro Soldiers Jazz Joyfully to Port New York.—Although there were more than 700 Negroes among the 3,600 troops on the transport Kroonland, there was no evidence of racial animosity when the ship docked. Radio messages had kept the soldiers posted on the Washington and Chicago riots, but harmony reigned. Perhaps the jazz of what tshading it...Prouser Infantry, a registration chiltern stores of Chicago boys in its ranks, had something to do with it. Certainly the Negro musicians furnished plenty of harmony. The band jazzed morning, noon and night and wound up by jazzing Men delssohn's "Wedding March" for the benefit of fourteen French brides. A Move in the Right Direction The Lafayette players, who are all colored, are one fine aggregation. They are composed of intellectual people who are all heart and hand with movements for the uplift and betterment of the race. As actors their respective abilities cannot be questioned. The players' contracts are made with colored men who are at the head of the Quality Amusement Corporation. It is a pity that with the capital possessed by the race, that we cannot build or lease a playhouse where these actors can be placed, instead of having the money go into the pockets of such men as Forrest and Weinberg, who will not even spend a nickel of the surplus money to install a ventilation system or decorate the stuffy place which they call an up-to-date theater. These men may have been managers once upon a time, but, as the orators would say, "a new era has dawned," and with improvements progressing on all sides, they are back numbers. They could at least install a few comfortable seats and have the place cleaned up so that it would have a pleasing interior appearance. A South American Boy Piano Virtuoso New York, Aug. 21.—The New York public will soon be given the opportunity to hear a new pianist in the person of Mr. Neil O'Jon, who comes to us from South America with a brilliant reputation as an artist. Only 16 years of age, his playing has the air and character of a full-fledged virtuoso.

At the witching hour of nine o'clock the next morning Miss Tincher having anointed herself with much "pain killer" arrived at the studio to do the second episode of the picture. It was a burglar scene. Harry Edwards, the burglar, was inside a trunk. Sally sat upon the trunk, endeavoring to keep the burglar from burgling. Harry's muscular shoulders bounced the lid of the trunk up and down several times while Fay hung on for dear life. Director Al Christie shouted, "Do your duty, Harry!" Fay did not know that when Al Christie says "do your duty" he means the execution of the scene with the greatest possible vim and vigor. Harry did his duty right lustily with the result that the unfortunate star landed violently on the back of her neck beyond the protecting softness of a mattress which was intended to break her fall, but which failed to do its duty at the crucial moment. "Sally's Blighted Career" came to a close with Miss Tincher swathed in bandages. In "Rowdy Ann," which introduced Miss Tincher as a rough and western cowgirl almost too skittish for the open range, there were also numerous calls for the first aid kit. The first time it was for stepping off a train at Burbank, where the limited merely hesitates and does not stop. How was the conductor of the limited train to know that Miss Tincher was not getting on the train, but endeavoring to get off, so as she stepped lightly from moving train he detained her with an iron hand. "Let me go," she shouted as she wiggled loose—and fell. As the train gathered speed, Fay picked herself up from where she had fallen—a few inches from the moving wheels. She walked up to Al Christie and said, "Well, don't I get a little sympathy?" Mr. Christie replied, "Oh, yes, yes, of course. I was just thinking if you had fallen under there, how I could have put in a title and finished the picture." Masons Entertain Billy King & Co. New York, Aug. 21.—Billy King, of Chicago, with his unparalleled aggregation of De Luxe Players, was highly entertained at a banquet given in his honor by Medinah Temple No. 19 of the Mystic Shrine at the Lybia on Saturday evening. The affair, which was arranged by Nobles Winfred P. Carr, Jas. McCadden, Thomas H. Wright and Fred S. Langston, was pronounced by all present as a howling success. Past Grand Master Wm. Oscar Payne presided with dignity. He introduced many visitors who are prominent in Masonic circles. They all responded with brief and witty sayings. Noble Billy King made a brief, amusing, pointed speech. Among the guests were Jas. H. Anderson, editor of the Amsterdam News, New York's leading weekly; John H. Bowman, Edward E. Rainey, 32d W. O. Murphy, John B. Anderson, Marracla 13, 33d Clar. E. Dunlop, Persian Temple No. 46, Indianapolis, Ind.; 33d J. M. Morris, 33d W. H. King, Arabie 14, 33d Wm. O. Payne, 33d Thos. H. Wright, 33d Jas.

ALL ABOARD FOR DIXIE Al Bernard, known as the boy from Dixie, left New York Saturday, August 9th, for a trip to New Orleans, his home, he will bring back some new ideas from a week's vacation, and Al says that the land of jazz. Bernard is the writer of "Shake, Rattle and Roll"; "That's the Feller" and "Big Chief Blues," all numbers from the Pace & Handy Catalogue. Allegedly the highest amount paid for film rights to a story so far this year was that given by Louis B. Mayer to Harold MeGrath for "The Yellow Typhoon," which ran serially in the Satevepost. Mayer paid $30,000 cash for it with the intention of having Anita Stewart use it as a First National vehicle, following "In Old Kentucky." We dare say, offhand, this is much more than the amount paid MeGrath for the serial rights, yet according to Mr. Pollock—the poor author—but what's the use? THE GRAND There is a good bill at this playhouse the present week. Much local talent is on display; in one of the numbers it looks as if all the old timers of the stroll has been thrown together. One act and one personage that should have special mention is that of Downs and Knox. Lucretia is really a headliner on this week's bill. A. B.

New York, Aug. 4, 1919. To the Editor of The Billboard. Dear Sir—Mr. Wolf has really done the public a great service in writing you that letter about music publishers and their staff of writers, and so has The Billboard done a great service to the people in publishing his letter, and let me say that if some of these publishers would send one of their agents down and in the back alleys of the City of Baltimore or Washington or any of these Southern cities and hear the songs that are sung and written by the negro population of these places for their own use it would make these publishers and their staff look small indeed. This world is full of poets and song-writers and good ones, but none of them are to be found on Broadway, because good songs are not what is desired. I would like to run about one or two hundred of my songs in a song writers' contest against as many that are written by these so-called staff of writers from the publishers around 47th and Broadway just to see how many of their songs would go thru, and I'll beat every one of them. This is no bluff, but real straight forward business proposition. All I would like to see is the best man win, so if any of these gentlemen are looking for a chance to earn both fame and fortune this would be an excellent chance to show the world what they can do. Very truly years, NATHAN L. LEWIS, 123 E. 88th St. New York City. ADVERTISE IN THE WHIP AND GET RESULTS. --- AGE GENERAL AND PUBLIC TASTE MOVIE NOTES Joe Moore, youngest of the famous quartet of screen brothers, is back from the wars, having seen active service in France with the Wild West division. A year or so before the war, Joe became the husband of Grace Cunard, the serial star, and the news gatherers and disseminators of near-news in Filmania do say that there was no joyous family reunion when Joey came marching home. About the same time Owen Moore went back to New York, making the important announcement upon his departure that he was making the journey in order to purchase a new summer hat, which also gave the town criers much material. --- At last we are to have colored films. While the entire industry has been awaiting the perfection of a color process, along comes a company in Los Angeles and starts right in making 'em without any blare of cornets. The name of the concern is the Democracy Film Company and all of the players are colored. Dramas of particular import to the colored race will be made and also a brand of funny films which will be called "Chocolate Comedies." Charles Clary, whose name in the prints is usually followed by the words "that sterling player," missed the flur but the matrimonial germ got him. The bride was Miss Margaret Bechtel, who unblushingly gave her home city as Pittsburgh when they applied for the license at Santa Ana. Patrons of the Q. and A. department will take notice that Mrs. Clary is not of the profession. Death claimed three well-known actors during the last few weeks in California. The first was George Gehardt, who played in the original New York Motion Picture Company's initial Western thrillers and who became one of the best known screen character men. Daniel Gifterhe, the "grand old man" of the former Balboa company, was called soon after at his home in Long Beach, after a stage and picture career covering nearly a half century. The last' of the trio, Lamar Johnstone, died suddenly at Palm Springs, California, while on location with William Farnum. He was well known to screen followers as a leading man with Selig and other companies. Tom Meighan has finally been elevated to unqualified stardom, having been chosen to play the title role in Cecil B DeMille's picturization of the famous stage vehicle "The Admirable Crichton." Most of the outdoor scenes for the play were filmed on Santa Cruz Is land, and there was some delay owing to the fact that Tom was engaged in playing the lead in the William deMille production "Perc 'o' My Heart." Milton Sills appears to have gotter himself a regular job as Pauline Fred crick's leading man. He is on his see and photoplay opposite the Goldwyn emoter who is now being directed by Reginald Barker. Idaho recently entertained a Famous-Lasky company of players for more than a month. The battalion was headed by Major Robert Warwick and Director George Melford, making exteriorors for an all-star production of "Told in the Hills." Monte Blue and Eileen Percy were also in the company, which divided its time between Kamiah and Lewis-town. There is to be another "Lone Wolf" story picturized, this time with a woman star. Louise Glaum is to be starred in "The Daughter of the Wolf," an as yet unpublished novel by Louis Joseph Vance, the rights for which were bought by J. Parker Read, Jr., who produced Miss Glaum's first independent production "Sahara." Vance wrote "The Lone Wolf" first and Bert Lytell starred in it. Then came "The False Faces" and Henry Walthall played the leading role. Enter the new Western hero, Fred Stone. No attempt was made by the Zukor people to specialize with Fred, but because of his facility with the rope and his cleverness with "hawses," Fred has decided that he should stick to Westerns. So he is making his first film under his own auspices at the Brunton studio with Andrew Callaghan, once of Essanay, as manager of the company. Millicent Fisher is leading woman in his first, a story by Jackson Gregory. Frank Borzage, one of the best of the young directors, is telling Fred how to do it. WHAT THE SOUTH HAS TO SAY ABOUT NORTHERN RACE CONFLICTS Mr. Dooley might almost have been a Southerner when he remarked to Mr. Hennessy, "I'm not so much throubled about the naygur whin he lives among his oppressors as I am whin he falls into th' hands iv his liberators." Strike out "oppressors" and substitute a word implying regulation, restraint, and benevolent discipline and you have the Southern point of view to a nicety; what Northerners call "oppression," in the South the Southerners regard as measures essential to the welfare not only of the whites but also of the blacks; they believe that Northern freedom from restraint injures both races, and the Houston (Texas) Chronicle, commenting on race riots in the North, observes: "The immediate cause, like the immediate result, is an old, old story, but both are rooted in a background of silly pampering which leads, and will always lead, to atrocious acts on the one hand and to illogical spasms of temper on the other." So it is natural that riots in Washington and Chicago should be widely discussed throughout the South. To the Southerners' way of thinking, they demonstrate the fallacy of the Northern attitude toward the Negro. The Chronicle maintains that "in Washington, more than any other place, Negroes have been petted into an attitude of lazy conceit," and that "the uniform has been permitted to give them an unprecedented degree of protection and consideration," while "high wages and allotments have tended to make them shiftless and irresponsible." And when Southerns declare themselves "the Negro's best friends," there is no disingenuousness about it. They are skeptical when Northerners lay claim to a more generous regard for the Negroes, and the Memphis (Tenn.) Commercial Appeal speaks for the South in general in asserting: "The clash of whites and Negroes in Chicago, coming hard on the heels of a similar disturbance in Washington, should be a warning to the Negroes of the South that the supposed benevolent treatment of their race in the Northern States is largely a myth." As The Commercial Appeal informs its readers: "The scarcity of labor in the North during the war caused the big employers of labor there to turn their attention to the Negro labor of the South. They imported a number of Negroes from the Southern States, who were paid big wages. The Negroes were not so informed at the time, but it has developed that their employment was merely temporary. When the white soldiers began to return, the Negroes were let out. With the usual African improvidence a great many of these Southern blacks spent practically all of the money they made on city luxuries, so that when their employment was taken away from them they were peniless. "Fearing privations and want, a number of these negroes turned criminals in order to support themselves. There was an outbreak of robberies and other crimes by these imported colored men, and the result was that resentment of the white people was aroused. The supposed friends of the black man became his worst enemies and the war of races was the inevitable result. It has been pursued with a relentlessness that could not be possible in the South. "As bad for law and order as lynchings may be, they can in no way compare with the racial outbreaks that occur with a persistent frequency in Northern cities housing a considerable Negro population. Mobs in the South vent their revenge only upon the Negro who has been guilty of some foul crime. The innocent seldom if ever suffer. Of course, any mob law is bad, but it is infinitely worse when this develops into a clash of races where the innocent suffer with the guilty. Such racial disorders as have occurred during the last few weeks in Washington and Chicago are possible in the Southern States, but they are hardly probable." Such is likewise the contention of the Southern press in general. As one Southern paper puts it, 'too often, atas, in our own section is heard from mobs of white men the shout of 'Kill the coon!' but never 'the coons.'' The Mobile (Ala.) Register meanwhile remarks: "It is characteristic of mobs north of Mason and Dixon's line to class all of the colored race as offenders, and to beat them up indiseriminately. This is the result of racial animosity. In the South where the Negroes are known, and where the fact is fully recognized that there are many good Negroes and but few bad ones, there is seldom any showing of actual race animosity. Moh action generally confines itself to the individual criminal. It is commonly charged by Northern writers at the South that the Negro is lynched because he is a Negro. If such has happened, we do not know of a case." In the same spirit, the Nashville Tennessan reminds us: --- "The Southern mob seldom, if ever, directs its violence against the Negro race, but is satisfied when it wreaks vengeance upon the offender of virtue. The Northern mob does not stop there, but directs its lawless attacks on the race. Both mobs are lawless, and the press of the South have condemned them as such." Somewhat less sweeping in its claims as regards the South, but not less convinced in principle, the Norfolk (Va.) Ledger-Dispatch says: "There have been times when race riots of varying sizes have taken place in a few Southern communities, but they have all been due to flashing outbreaks against an individual or several individuals, and occasionally these outbreaks have spread before they could be checked. But conditions have never been of such a character as to lead any considerable part of the population to indulge in what the calm and uncolored Associated Press describes as 'an orgy of hatred.'" The Knoxville (Tenn.) Journal and Tribune, after calling the situation in Chicago "an utter disgrace to that city and a shame to the nation," marvels that "there are those with white faces and black hearts who would persecute a Negro because he is a Negro, and who give the law-abiding Negro no consideration, lumping all together as a whole as having no rights the white criminal need give any respect," and the Charotte (N. C.) Observer says that: "In race troubles in the South always some sympathy is developed for the Negroes and there is an element that is ever inclined to give them protection. In Washington not a hand appears to have been raised in their behalf and for the whole of one night they appeared on the streets at their own peril. When the Negro gets into trouble in the North he is in trouble bad. The whole population turns on him and the disposition is to 'clean him up.' If it should develop that during the troubles in Washington any man came to the rescue of the Negro we are going to venture that it was a white man from the South." Very little in the way of rancorous or abusive comment appears in the Southern press concerning the outbreaks at Washington and Chicago, and if the Nashville Banner has something to say about Northern "hypocrisy," the charges are tempered by a willingness to understand and forgive. Says The Banner: "The Northern people have maintained a hypocritical attitude in respect to Negroes, and outbreaks like that in Chicago, now that Negro populations are becoming uncomfortably large there, tear off the mask. The hypocrisy in a great many instances was unconscious. A large number of Northerners had hereditary prejudice on the subject arising out of the old eruasion against slavery and the Civil War. They didn't recognize the inevitable race antagonism wherever a dark race obtrudes on the white man, and the difficulties under which the South labored in keeping that antagonism within bounds." However, the Vicksburg (Miss.) Herald takes a shot at Chicago in an editorial entitled, "Chickens Coming Home to Roos," and asserts that—"To all with understanding the bloody Chicago race clash was forecast by the following story in the Chicago News two days before the riot: "Not only is Chicago a receiving station and port of refuge for colored people who are anxious to be free from the jurisdiction of lynch law, but there has been built here a publicity or propaganda machine that directs its appeals or carries on an agitation that every week reaches hundreds of thousands of people of the colored race in the Southern States. The State street blocks south of Thirty-first street are a "news paper row," with The Defender, The Search-light, The Guide, The Advocate The Whip, as weekly publications, and there are also illustrated monthly magazines such as The Half-Century and The Favorite." "The 'propaganda' of this 'receiving station and port of refuge,' the inevitable precursor of race war, eut both ways. Its poison indeed is more deadly upon such Negro centers as Chicago and Washington than with the Negro masses of the South." Far from contenting itself with merely tracing the Northern race rots to what it believes to be their causes, the Southern press give serious attention to the measures a community should take when threatened with such outbreaks. The Savannah (Ga.) Press advises a prompt "show of firmness." The Tuscaloosa (Ala.) News and Times-Gazette deprecates anything savoring of "supine inefficiency." The New Orleans Times-Picayune maintains that a community "must act vigorously from the beginning," and in Richmond, Va., the News-Leader goes in for preparedness in an editorial reprinted by a Colored Man Arrested Editor's Mail Mr. W. C. Linton; Dear Sir: Please allow me to congratulate you as an editor who knows what to say, how to say it, when to say it and when not to say it. Glad to see that you are conducting your paper along the right lines. The people in St. Paul and Minneapolis are all well pleased with the sheet. Yours very sincerely, C. H. LOGAN, St. Paul, Minn. WHISKEY CAUSES REVOLUTION OF '76? BOOZE, AGED 100, IS RESURRECTED New York.—It was an old brown bottle—100 years old, or thereabouts. It reposed in the cellar of the old Sammis Hotel in Hempstead, L. I., where George Washington is said to have stopped once overnight. No scholarly historian has as yet advanced the opinion that the bottle was the cause of the Revolution of '76, but take a look at the revolution it caused. A wrecking crew was tearing down the landmark (the hotel, not the bottle). In the cellar they found an old gun, a solid shot and the brown bottle. Albert Voight of the wrecking crew sensed an exquisite aroma, some of that forbidden fruit stuff. Albert immediately shouted that the crew had struck whiskey—real, aged in bond, 100 years old and in a brown bottle. There were fifty men about him, but none dared taste the contents. In stalked Cutie Gardner, who is nothing more or less than a eop, and nothing more or less than four foot four and of ample girth. Cutie lifted the bottle—the 100-year-old bottle—and drank deeply. "Whisky!" he circulated. Twenty men sent longing pairs of arms in the general direction of that old brown bottle. Cutie snorted and clutched the bottle desperately. The twenty pairs of arms entangled and uppercuts and just plain broadsides went whizzing among the thirsty twenty. Cutie's arms were pinned to his side. There were some more uppercuts. And then—— The old brown bottle—the 100-year-old bottle—fell with a crash to the floor. Colored Woman Sues Southern Owner of Picture House Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 21.—Mrs. Lula Porter has brought suit in the circuit court against Samuel Zerilla, owner of a colored movie show at 330 Beale avenue, for the sum of $5,000. Mrs. Porter claims that negligence of the operator of the projecting machine caused a loud and terrifying explosion, which demoralized the spectators, which resulted in a stampede for the exits. In the panic Mr. Porter states that she was knocked down and trampled upon by the frenzied crowd. Richmond Negro paper, The Planet Says the editorial: "Determined that the good sense and good will of the better classes shall prevail, Richmond people have agreed upon a very definite policy. The precise details of this we shall not, of course, disclose; the main facts should be set down here and now that every man may understand Richmond is to do strict justice, but is to suppress with the utmost severity every disturbance. If white rowdies pick a quarrel with Negroes, they are to be punished instantly. If Negroes should start trouble, precisely the same punishment will be meted out to them. The News-Leader expects Colonel Myers to instruct his men to shoot without hesitation into the ranks of any mob that may start. We expect him to use all the reserve forces at his command and to continue as long as may be necessary the prudent arrangements made in recent days. We expect, further, to keep the machine guns present, so that if trouble starts in any street, the machine guns may be brought up instantly in the waiting motor trucks and after warning has been given can be used to sweep the street from end to end. We indorse all the director has done in preparing to use fire apparatus, but we are frank to say we do not expect him to stop with water, if any mob opens fire. Fortunately we need not call upon him to avoid the mistake made in Washington of placing a single officer or a single sentry on a street corner. We have enough forces at hand to throw a cordon around any district where disorder may start and then to scour every street and every alley. "But, above all else, Richmond people insist that precisely the same treatment be measured out to all that may attempt trouble."

For hats are always interesting and hats are the first new thing a woman buys at the beginning of a new season. In fact, we buy new hats regardless of seasons and wear them, too, without consideration for their fitness for a particular season; straw hats in Jan- uary, velvet In July. And there are velvet hats and others, advanced models to excite your curlos- ity, stimulate your interest and help you to decide your first new autumn style. ‘And my! what a good effect a new hat has upon the average woman, both from the material aspect of 1 pleas- ing appearance and the less tangible but nevertheless definite aspect of men- tal stimulus, of renewed interest in lige in general, comments Edith M.

The diagram on the right of the illus- tration roughly gives the shape of the piece of materia! that will be re- quired; it is folded at the point cei Ta y ete | LY tet A ft! iW Ba ays H _ besa Mai ay hy , HE ay Or Hee a NG PARC Shopping Bag. marked by the dotted line, and sewn together at the sides. The opening of the bag is bound with braid, and just below this « number of eyelets are let in, and through these eyelets ‘a plece of strong blind-cord is thread- ed, by which the opening may be drawn together, and also by which the bag may be carried. Sewn on in front of the bag and bound at the edge with tape is a small Hnen pocket, Into which bills may be slipped. STRAIGHT LINES HOLD SWAY Good Thing to Remember Now That It Ip About Time to Plan for Fall Things. Interest in summer sults is natur- ally waning somewhat at the present time, with fall so near at hand, and the woman who js planning a fall suit must bear in mind the fact that re- gardless of dress silhouette, straight lines hold sway in suits, No matter what material is used or what trim- ming embellishes it, the smart suit will have a straight, semi-fitted coat, thirty to forty-five Inches in length, with narrow shoulders and long, tight sleeves, Suit skirts are shorter than those shown with spring models, and while by no means full they are a trifle wider. Soft velours are very popular and a great deal of fur trim- ming will be used, ‘This fur trim- ming {s usually only in the form of generous sized collars and revers and sometimes cuffs, ‘Trimmed skirts or the elaborate fur peplums used on suit coats last season are not in evi- dence so far. Embroidery and fancl- ful braldings appear on many smart suits. For first fall wear strictly tailored models of cheviot and smart wool mix- tures are being brought out. SASH KEEPS ITS POPULARITY Far From Passing, It Bids Fair to Be- ‘come Even More Important Ar> ticle of Dress. We keep hearing the rumor that the vest is passe—certainly it is passing, if we judge by the signs of the times, and unless it has a revival will not be here at all by fall, ‘The sash, how- ever, has taken on a new lease of life and is to play an even more important part in our costume than ever before, As to fringe, it is to be more extensive- ly used than ever—in every depth and wherever possible, ‘The fringe band- ing Is often seen trimming satin capes, coats of camels’ hair and dresses of taffetas and satin, ‘This banding is made by stitching the fringe on a strip of satin at top and bottom, so that it has the appearance of insertion when used as trimming. Now and then one finds a color different from the dress or cloak showing through*the threads, but this is not nearly so often used as the plainer colored banding in blue or black. Children’s Fall Styles. Mothers are glad to see guimpes coming into fashion again for the lit- tle folks, They give a dark dress a “dressed-up” appearance, and are a great saving in the laundry, They are decidedly fashionable this summer and autumn, being made simply and trimmed with either a bit of Val lace or a frill of plaiting of the sheer white material from which they are made. One mother has made a half dozen of these useful guimpes for her small “tomboy” daughter who is in the sec- ond grade at school, deciding that it fs easiex to wash several guimpes than act whole dresses, since it is the sleeve and collar that are soiled first. \ Y. M. C. A. News ‘A new style of entertainment was in- troduced to the musie lovers of Chi- cago, Sunday, August 17, in the Y, M. C. A, Assembly room. The occasion was a Supper Musical which consisted of vietrola music, special reading ana solos, After a large number of mem- bers and their friends had dined in the eafeteria they went upstairs and enjoyed a most unique program.

EL HOMESICK FOR ARCTIC SNOWS No Affectation About the Longing for Far North That Is Experienced by Explorers. If you are of ordinary health and strength, if you are young enough to be adaptable and independent enough to shake off the influence of books and bellef, you can find good reason to be as content and comfortable in the North as anywhere on earth. If you remember that all of us who have spent more than a year “living on the country,” are quite of the Eskimo opinion that no food on earth is better than caribou meat, and If you have any experience in your life as a hunter any- where, you will realize that in the eve- nings when we sit in these warm snow houses, fensting with keen appetites on unlimited quantities of boiled ribs, we have all the creature comforts. What we lack, if we feel any lack at all, will be possibly the presence of friends far away, or the chance to hear opera or see the movies, At any rate, ft Is true that today in the movie In- fested clty I long for more snow house evenings after caribou hunts as I never In the North longed for clubs or concerts or orange groves. And this is not peculiar to me. The men who have hunted with me are nearly all of the same mind—they are either In the North now, on the way back there by whaling ship, or eating their hearts out because they cannot go.—Vilhjal- ‘mur Stefansson in Harper's Magazine.

GOOD WORK WITH CAMERA Explorers in Northwestern Canada Have Photographic Studies of Wilderness Wild Life. After a three years’ hunt with the camera in the almost unknown Laird river district In northwestern Canada, H. A. Stewart and John Sonnickson have come back to civilization by way of Peace civer, Alberta, bringing sev- eral thousand photographic studies of the manners and customs of the wild life of those remote woods and streams, The explorers, for they well deserve the pame, worked into the wilderness by way of Hudson's Hope and the forks of the Findlay and Parsnip rivers as far as Fort Gra- hame. Their negatives fustrate the habits of the ptarmigan, moose, beay- er, Canadian wild geese and other an- tmals and birds that have seldom been observed with anything like thorough- ness by means of the camera, ‘The travelers had devices of various sorts whereby thelr subjects were enticed to spots upon which the hidden lenses were focused; and upon reaching these spots an ambushed camera man “snapped” them by twitching a tong cord attached to the lens shutter. / single negative of some specially animal was often the only frult many hours of patient waiting.

WHITE WOMAN BRUTALLY MURDERED 6 The finding of the body of Mrs. E. L. Watkins, 55, white, in Railroad avenue Tuesday night led the police to search for Tommy Hamilton, colored barber, 1906 Railroad avenue, who it is alleged had an uncanny control over the woman, Hamilton, it is said, for the past seven years has maintained an influence over the white woman, causing her to obey his every wish. He had Mrs. Watkins under such control that she would visit him at any hour of the night, if he so desired, and would wait on the street corners for him for hours in order to catch a glimpse of him. She took out life insurance, naming him as beneficiary. Wrote and telephoned him assiduously. Making use of special delivery stamps on her letters. She always wanted to know if he was feeling well and if in good spirits. It is said that when he was in a game of chance he would run her away from him, telling her that he did not want to be disturbed. Tuesday night he had an appointment with her at the Davis Street station. The hour was 10:30. Hamilton stated that on account of being drunk he failed to meet her. More than 300 empty whisky bottles were found on the premises where Tom lives. Tom says that he was in bed at eleven o'clock and that he had not seen Mrs Watkins that night. Mrs. Watkins, it is claimed, was killed at approximately 11:45. The scene was on Railroad avenue, less than two blocks from Tom's residence. Witnesses say she appeared to be running from the direction of Tom's home toward the station. Many of Tom's pals state that Hamilton's story is untrue. They say they were with him at intervals up to the hour of the murder. He was drunk. He had bragged of his engagement with Mrs. Watkins. He left them about this time, then reappeared near Mason's restaurant on Main street. When a cabman saw him he was in bad shape, leaning against a pillar. He was put in a cab and driven home shortly after 11:35. The driver claimed they went past the spot where a crowd surrounded the body of the slain woman. The driver wanted to stop, but Tom insisted that they go on. The driver let Tom off at his home, then returned to find out why the crowd had assembled. On distress the man preyed above evidence. Hamilton does not seem to be much wrought up over the killing, but he insists that the mystery of the murder be cleared. Mrs. Watkins' daughter, Mrs. Trent, 1333 Heath avenue, when informed of the death of her mother, advanced the theory that the murder was the outcome of revenge of a jealous rival for the affections of Hamilton, who had been seen with Tom on many occasions. The authorities, after entering Hamilton's home and taking him into custody, searched his effects and found many letters from the woman to Hamilton under different dates. The following letters were found: Among the earliest of the letters addressed to the Negro by Mrs. Watkins is one dated February, 1915, in which she wrote: "Thank you for your splendid letter. I will have to disappoint you temporarily about the money. It's hell to be poor. "I will get over to see you Monday at 9 o'clock. Be waiting for me, for I want to ask your advice about many things and to give you the money which I wish I might give you today. Don't disappoint me. Good night and God bless you." In a letter of September 27, 1918, Mrs. Watkins wrote: "I was simply stunned last night when I realized that I could not come out to see you. What must you have thought? What did you do? Don't be angry with me or send me angry letters, for I will come out Tuesday at 9, just as sure as I am alive." ‘‘Helpless Without Him’’ A letter dated March 21, 1918, reads: "Today I did not get a letter from you and I am walking around just like a child, not knowing what to do about anything. You always tell me just what to do and I feel so helpless when I do not have your advice or have you near me to direct me. I am so blue that mother told me I looked as if I had been ill for a week or two. I feel just like crying. Good night. BEFF." In a letter in April of this year Mrs. Watkins wrote: "I went and saw the girl in the office about moving and it is just as you say. It would cost $50, not less. Now, isn't that awful. Oh, I am so blue tonight. I need you every minute. Your advice is always right and you are the most nervous man in the world. I have a泊 before me. You know what to ex- A Business Stimulant That's Most Surprising-Is a Regular Dose of Advertising pect. I know you feel just as badly as I do, but don't worry. Please destroy this letter. Your BEFF.' In March, 1919, Mrs. Watkins wrote: "What was the matter? I waited on the corner just as you told me and you did not come near me. Is that the way you want to treat me? I got there at 9 o'clock and I waited around and asked friends where you were until 1 o'clock in the morning. Can you imagine how I was feeling by then? I can't tell you how I feel tonight. It seems as if everything in the world is going wrong. Please write and tell me that there was some good reason for that. BEFF.' Always the letters contained solicitous inquiry for the health of the Negro. In a letter dated February 22, 1919, Mrs. Watkins wrote: "I have worried about you all day. You are subject to colds, and I am afraid that you will go out with light clothes while you feel so badly. Please take good care of yourself until I come up Tuesday night, and I will bring the best cough medicine I can buy. I will cook some things I want you to have, too. Now please bundle up and be very careful." Again Mrs. Watkins wrote: "Between my mother being so ill and you with a heavy cold, I am worried almost to death. You have been so kind to my mother and she is so near being well again that I don't want anything to happen to you, now that everything seems better. Do be very careful about taking your medicine and good hot baths and you will be the same as ever very soon." One of the last letters discovered in the vast assortment contained the paragraph: "What I would have done without you during these last two years I don't know. Trouble came so thick and fast that I will never be able to thank you for your help and kind advice. I am proud of your record of friendship and honor." Scan Clothes for Blood Spots Assistant State's Attorney John K. Murphy instructed Chief of Police Lettgett of Evanston to bring to his office clothing of Tom's to be gone over in search of blood spots. On one of the fifteen suits which were owned by Hamilton spots of blood were found, but they had no particular bearing on the case; they were found to be very old. Assistant State's Attorney Murphy fore the prisoner's alibi to shreds by the evidence of one of Tom's friends, who stated that Tom left them for about forty-five minutes at the time the murder occurred, inquiring first had anyone seen Mrs. Watkins. Previous to this Hamilton's friends had clung to a story that they were with Hamilton at the time of the murder. Officers are searching for a woman named Florence who is said to have been a rival of Mrs. Watkins for the barber's attention. A woman told one of the prosecutors that Mrs. Watkins had said she was going to Evanston to recover jewelry and Liberty bonds she had given Hamilton. Jealousy presumably led to her decision. Florence is said to be an auburn-haired woman, sister-in-law to a druggist. The Y. M. C. A. building has been the scene of informal conferences.

MARSHALL FIELD & CO AGAIN REFUSES TO SELL TO COLORED GIRL Miss Viola Penn, 4226 Indiana Avenue, visited the dress goods department of Marshall Field and Company in order to make a purchase. After falling to get the attention of any of the clerks, she appealed to one of the floor walkers as to why her wants were not attended to. She explained that she had been standing at the white goods counter for some time and that many people had been taken care of while she was completely ignored. The only satisfaction she received from this self-important personage was to keep on standing. This discriminatory act was brought to the notice of the Whip and it has taken the matter up with the management of the store, to find out why our people cannot spend the coin of the realm in their establishment. The proper city and state authorities have also been appealed to. Miss Penn, personally, intends to bring suit against the firm. JEU WING FIRST CHINESE IN STATE TO PAY AUTO TAX Baton Rouge, La., Aug. 11.—Shades of Confucious! What would the ancestors of Jeu Wing, Baton Rouge Chinese, think of him now? Wing Monday was granted a license for his new automobile. This is the first time a Chinese has taken out an automobile license in Louisiana, in the memory of the automobile license department of the secretary of state's office. Jeu Wing is running a laundry in Baton Rouge and has been in America a long time. He believes that his entrance into the ranks of auto owners stamps him as a real American and proves the efficiency of the Melting Pot. Wing also drives his own car and traffic officers say they would not be surprised to capture him for speeding some day. His license is number 465,751. At eight o'clock Monday morning, over fifty boys left the "Y" with their packs and bundles containing camping outfits. They were on their way to the Sand Dunes where they expect to spend six days of outdoor life. Secretary R. O. Bryant is supervising the group. Mr. G. M. Durden, who has been serving in the capacity of War Service Secretary, is planning to leave Chicago the first of September to continue the study of law at Columbia University. He will be missed around the "Y." Plans are being made for a membership campaign which will be launched in September. We are out for 2,500 new members and solicit the aid of everyone to accomplish this. Scratch My Head New puzzles never bother me. I solve 'em all.

That "mus" be something like a strategic retreat or an artistic success—it's something to brag about, but don't get you nothin. It is going to be expensive to call guys names. Everybody is a gentleman from now on with me. If Ford had sued for $5,000,000, he would have had enough to buy a bleacher seat at Foster's Park.

THE CHICAGO WHIP AI SHAN A SACRED PLACE Chinese Mountain Said to Be the Oldest Permanent Place of Worship on Earth. There are five sacred mountains in China, and the most sacred of all is Tai Shan, the Great mountain, said to be the oldest permanent place of worship in the world. In 2000 B. C. Tai Shan's crest had been a regular scene of sacrifices and prayers for nobody knew how long. Emperors and lesser officials, even Confucius the Wise, journeyed up the long, narrow trail of Tai Shan to come near to the God of Heaven and Earth and made their prayers before Him. Since those days of simple worship, many temples and shrines have been built on Tai Shan's slopes. Buddhism, Taism, Confucianism, all are represented, and there are temples, too, to the Lady of the Mountain, who is called by some a fairy, by others a goddess, and by others the spirit or soul of the mountain. Whatever her character, the lady is well represented on her mountain top and her shrines are popular. The journey up the mountainside is accomplished by the traveler partly in a swinging chair supported by Chinese bearers and partly on foot. The "Way" consists of a granite walk, interrupted every little while by flights of steps which stretch on and on and become steeper and closer together until the pilgrim has mounted 6,600 steps and the peak of Tai Shan is reached. Here there are more temples and thick incense and grave old priests who announce a pilgrim's presence to the gods by ringing deep-toned bells. A little way off is pointed out a rock overhanging a sheer precipice. From this rock called "The Rock of the Love of Life," persons who had sick relatives used to fling themselves, hoping that the sacrifice of one life would appease the gods so that the other would be spared. Now the dangerous cliff is barred, and pilgrims are forced to appeal to the gods in the conventional Chinese methods. REMAINS OF ROMAN SMELTER Intensely Interesting Discovery Said to Have Been Made in the North of England. A lady member of the Cumberland and Westmoreland Antiquarian society of England has had the good fortune to discover what is believed to be a Roman bloomery, or ancient smelting furnace. Her attention was drawn to the place by the work of moles, which recently exposed some of the remains, and again later by the burning of the whins formerly concealing the hearth and other features of the bloomery, near Forest How. By some exploration with a spade, she traced the foundations of a large hearth, twelve yards in diameter, and a number of heaps of cinders, slag and ore; and she also turned up specimens of Roman tiles, with pottery, slag and hematite. The size of the hearth of the Forest How bloomery marks it as quite different from the ordinary north-country medieval iron furnaces, which run from seven to nine or ten feet in diameter, for the one just found is twelve yards across. This appears to be worth further exploration and probably money for that purpose will be found. Quite Comfortable. Thank You. Quite Comfortable, Thank You. A comfortable widow is Mrs. Amanda Jackson, colored. She is drawing three $57.50 pensions, or $172.50 a month, for the loss of three husbands during the war, and will draw that amount for 20 years. Mrs. Jones' husband died of spinal meningitis soon after entering the service and taking out a $10,000 insurance policy. The widow married one Smith. He took a maximum life insurance policy in her favor and was killed in action. Then Mrs. Jones-Smith married Private Jones, a returned soldier, who also named her in a $10,000 policy. Influenza made her a widow a third time in less than two years. The war risk bureau declines to make known her address, doubtless fearing that she would be inundated with offers of marriage. Spanish Birth Rate. Now it is in Spain that they are beginning to worry about the rising death rate and the falling birth rate. Dr. Gomez Ocana presents in El Siglo Medico (Barcelona) statistics for several years, showing that in 1912 the death rate was 21.6 per 1,000 population, and that by 1917, before the advent of the pandemic of influenza, it had risen to 26.16. And the birth rate fell from 31.60 per thousand in 1912 to 29.2 in 1917. Official figures for 1918 are not yet available, but in the city of Madrid the death rate rose in that year to 30.37, while the birth rate fell to 26.70. The figures for 1918, however, are abnormal because of the pandemic. High Minded. The teacher was impressing upon her scholars the need of saying their prayers. To illustrate the lesson she showed the class a picture of an Arab, with head between his hands, and looking upward.

For some time past the Mersey docks and harbor board has been conducting dredging operations in the neighborhood of the Burbo bank, one of the huge accumulations of sand which impede the navigation of the Mersey entrance, and these have resulted in a "find" of remarkable interest. It is the remains of a steamer which have evidently been embedded for generations. Her date is long anterior to that of iron shipbuilding. Of sound English oak were her timbers and framing, to which circumstances doubtless is due the fact that they still retain cohesion and shape, and have so wonderfully resisted the forces of decay as to supply an abundant quantity of material for the souvenir manufacturer. Her beams, in point of fact, are described as being as "hard as iron." The machinery has practically perished, but the engine bed-plates and the funnel remain, and relics of pottery and other articles are plentiful. The vessel, cleared of superbundant sand, is not only visible, but accessible at low water, and has been visited and examined by many interested people. The prevailing opinion is that she is the William Huskisson, a paddle steamer belonging to the City of Dublin company, and trading between Liverpool and the Irish capital, which on the 12th of January, 1840, was wrecked on her passage to the Mersey. She had 120 passengers on board, of whom 95 were rescued by the ship Huddersfield, and the remainder perished. Captain Clegg of the Huddersfield subsequently received handsome presentations from the citizens of Liverpool in recognition of his good work.—Manchester Guardian. PETE HAD OBEYED ORDERS Literal-Minded Soldier Came Near Getting His Commanding Officer Into a Bad Mess. There is a certain young officer who, according to his own story, is thanking his stars that General Pershing had a sense of humor. "Some of my men were Polish, and better soldiers never lived, but I guess in Poland life has been one long, sad story," said the officer. "Anyway, I never ran across a bunch who took things so literally. One night the Germans sent out a three-inch shell that landed square in the trench. In the morning I told one of my men, Pete, we called him, to take it away. "Where shall I take it? be asked. "Oh, anywhere,' I answered peevishly, 'put it to bed in Pershing's tent." "A little later a brother officer came along and said: 'The old man wants you, and there's something doing.' "I couldn't imagine what was up until I stood before the chief. He eyed me sternly and then pointed to his bunk, and would you believe it, there was that blamed shell. Pete sure had obeyed orders. Well, I thought I was in for it, but Pershing suddenly began to smile. He said: "I just want to caution you not to order Pete to capture Berlin until the rest of us are ready to go with him. He might go and do it, you know."—Rehoboth Sunday Herald. Hadn't Seemed to Work An oldish man in rusty-brown clothes and with a rusty-brown beard met up with a pin. It was shining sharply bright on a flagging, and he stopped to pick it up. He had stiff joints and his fingers were in that state informally known as bungly. So he had trouble picking up the pin. A young man paused to offer his services, but the old one refused. He just grunted and grumbled until at last victory came his way. Then he straightened up his rickety joints and put a hand on his back. "I'm not as young as I used to be," he admitted, as genially as his joints would allow. "But you know the old saying: "‘See a pin and let it lay, you'll have bad luck all the day. See a pin and pick it up and you are sure to have good luck.’ “So I never pass one by.” And yet he didn't look as lucky as a man ought to be who had made a life habit of picking up pins.—Washington Star. Brother to the Mosquito The prolonged drought has produced a prolific host of insects, and certain species of gnats are developing a disconcerting interest in ankles, says London Daily Mail. Some women are wearing linen bandages as a protection. An official at the Natural History museum, South Kensington, states that the chief offender is a tiny insect bearing the long name of Ochlerotatus dorsalis, which breeds in estuaries and explores inland. It is to be found all around London, especially on the Surrey downs. Another bloodthirsty gnat is the Pulcaris, which is labeled at the museum as "particularly troublesome in the evening. Its bite is severe, and with many people causes bad sores." Nearly Everybody Goes to WHO FIRST GROWS OLD? The woman of the arts or the woman of private life? In non-professional life we believe that women grow old, with that age which is not of years, much sooner than men. Men in the last ten years have learned that their boyhood is largely limited by their own will in the matter. Men have worked harder in the past decade than ever before, it may be, but they have also played more and have eaten less. Indolence bears destruction as its reward, and with the access of great prosperity to our cities and towns there have been many more indolent women than men; and these have faded like hot-house flowers. The professional woman—and this is especially true of the picture actresses—leads a far healthier life than her non-professional sister who laments, and hates, regrets, and sits around waiting for the calendar to catch up with her. The professional woman's thoughts are usually constructive and cheerful, and she has bustling endeavors and hard, long hours to keep her in physical trim. The disasters of life come more frequently from ease than from difficulty. The non-professional woman who determines to keep the liteness of youth and the thoughts of youth and youth's associations, and sticks to those determinations can, of course, challenge the universe. But one of the facts of life is that we usually do, not what we ought to do, but what we have to do. Therefore the industrious, intelligent actress of fifty is a much younger person than many a lay-woman of forty—merely because the necessities of her profession have compelled her to keep young. FOR NEWS WHILE IT IS NEWS READ THE WHIP. WE MUST HAVE CLEAN BILL BOARDS The motion picture manufacturers did a staunch, fine, and rather disinterested thing when they formed their vigorous, energetic and rigidly self-corrective clean picture organization in New York recently. They should carry their determinations and deeds just one step farther: they should make an exhibitor who permits suggestive or improper advertising in any manner, on the billboards, on his electric sign or in the newspapers, an outlaw, banned even from getting pictures for further business. But what should they do to the manufacturer himself, piously in their midst—and permitting his press agent to get out paper with misleading illustration or suggestive legend? Our opinion is that his fellows should turn to the Celestial books and select some quaint Chinese punishment.

"How Can I Miss When I Have Dead Aim" Two Men Charged with Theft of Tires Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 21.—George Greer and Aaron Hale, colored, were charged with larceny and receiving stolen property yesterday. The accusation was made by the police following the return of stolen automobile tires. The officers claim that the men took possession of an automobile belonging to the Sherry County Industrial School, Bartlett. The tires were later removed and sold to the Superior Rebuilt Tire Company, South Second street, it is alleged. H. Kisher, proprietor of the rebuilt tire concern, was also charged with buying and receiving stolen property. It is stated that he purchased the tires from the colored men. T. D. Gaines, of the Industrial School, is named as complainant in both cases. Kisher is at liberty on bonds. Bad Aim Causes Death of Onlooker New Orleans, La., Aug. 21.—A shot that was meant for another was the cause of the instant death of Mrs. Carrie Grayson, 43 years old, First and Saratoga streets. The shot which was intended for Virginia Jackson, 2115 First street, was fired from a revolver in the hands of Anna McAllister, 35, 2117 First street, according to police reports. The woman made good her escape and so far has not been taken. The McAllister woman was washing off the sidewalk in front of her home when some of the water fell on Geneva Braxton, 13 years old, a deaf mute living with Virginia Jackson. The above brought an argument between the McAllister and Jackson women. The McAllister woman rushed into the House and returned with a revolver. In her excitement she fired into a crowd of curious spectators who had gathered, hitting Carrie Grayson. The bullet lodged in her abdomen, causing her death before the arrival of medical aid. Nephew Stabs Uncle New York, Aug. 21.—William De Mont, age 43, of 469 Lenox avenue, was seriously wounded by his nephew, Braddis Evans, same address. Evans accused De Mont of stealing some money from him. It is said that the former is a victim of the drug habit and that he was under the influence of some narcotic when he wielded his trusty blade on his uncle. De Mont, who was rushed to the hospital, is resting well. "How Five HARV 4750 South Sta shou "How Can I Miss Five reasons why HARVEY B.

It is stated that the men boxed the ears of the marshal's young son. The upholder of the law swore vengeance against the two. Locating them, he fired upon the men, the fire was returned, one bullet going clear through Wingfield's heart, causing instant death. The two colored men fled to the woods and posses are securing the near-by vicinity for them. The two colored men are said to be brothers and that they recently came to Whelen Springs from Louisiana. Sheriff Golden, who is conducting the search for the men, says that he expects them to make a last stand when found, but did not expect race trouble to develop from the shooting. Colored Girl Saves Life of White Child New York, Aug. 21.—A five year old white child was snatched from the jaws of death by Adele Mason, 16, of Grant avenue and Bronx. The child, Mamie Fortune, had escaped from its nurse and attempted to cross 161st street, when a rapidly approaching car bore down on the small child. Adele, realizing the child's danger, knew that it meant quick action if the infant be saved. Running directly in front of the approaching car, she grabbed up the baby just in time to save the Fortune girl from the death-dealing wheels of the trolley. The child's parents gratefully rewarded Miss Mason. Announcement Dr. T. M.

SAUNDER HERE THEY ARE VANISHING AND COLD CREAMS Racial "Superiority" If one race possessed rights to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" superior to all others, the race conflicts that occur might be explained on national grounds. The belief was once held that certain peoples were created to be servants and should be under the dominion of those who esteemed themselves of a higher type. Since no one makes a personal choice of his race, there is no basis for elation if one happens to be of a race that holds itself superior to others. Neither is it reasonable to deny to another the privilege as a human being to have aspirations to better his condition in life even if he happens to possess a skin of somewhat different color. And nationality is often as potent as color to provoke race riots. To form an antipathy to one because brought up under an environment different from our own is a common expression of race dislike, yet such a position is an indication of an intolerate and narrow mind. It is this bigoted spirit that applies the term of "dago" to one and "hunky" to another. If there are those who because of race or nationality have not had the opportunities that we possess, instead of repressing or ostracizing them, would it not be better to give them a lift rather than to beat them with a club? It is unjust to indict a race for the actions of a few of its members, yet that is what is sought in making indiscriminate attacks on Negroes because some crimes have been committed by Negroes. Yet when a race riot against Negroes starts, a black face is the only identification asked of the man the mob seeks. A race riot is a denial of civilization. It is a reversion to savagery, and those whites who engage in it are not upholding the dignity of the white race, but advertising their disgrace of it. If the white race is superior it should offer a helping hand to inferior peoples. To attempt a display of its greater virtue by the use of mob violence is to cast doubt on its assertion of superiority.—Tampa (Fla.) News. Many feeble attempts are being made to off-set the wonderful stride that progressive workers are making toward complete emancipation of wage earners from industrial slavery. Those who are trying to hinder progress are certainly doing more injury to themselves than to the cause of humanity by acting as emissaries to the profiteering capitalistic slave-trading establishments.

He stated that it no longer had the magnificent personality of Booker T. Washington, the founder of the league, which served as a drawing card, and unless suitable means were devised to secure a grip upon the large following of the organization, it must necessarily go into discard. The Business League, he said, has served the purpose of its original creation, that is, to stimulate business initiative and development among the people. The race has passed the kindergarten ten stage in business status and development, but the annual conventions are still conducted along the kindergarten lines. The local leagues must therefore give more support to the national organization and assist it in the greater activities. These activities to which Mr Scott referred and which were later adopted unanimously by the organization follow: 1. That national headquarters be established at Washington, which shall act as a sort of Central Board of Trade or Chamber of Commerce, similar to those at present existing in Washington among the white people and into which Negroes are rarely if ever admitted. This central body will act as a national clearing house for the collection, compilation and distribution of such news, information and data as will be of value to Negro business all over the country. 2. That this central body keep both the Negro press and the white press properly informed of the past and current achievements of the Negro race, and to exploit and assist all worthy racial endeavors, mercantile and otherwise, thereby moulding a healthy public sentiment at home and abroad and creating and increasing racial pride and racial progress. 3. To make a special effort to locate industrial, manufacturing, trade, professional and other kinds of opportunities for Negro men and women, and to seek to encourage ventures in a more diversified number of business enterprises. 4. To serve as a clearing house for all kinds of skilled and unskilled labor, including teachers, farmers, business managers, insurance agents, stenographers and all kinds of employment. To find suitable opportunities for this help and 6. To seek to constantly compile and publish new methods of managing and building up various kinds of business and distributing to business men, practical hints and suggestions, through the National Negro Press Association, thereby coming into closer relation with the several hundred Negro newspapers, to the end that the local leagues might loyally support their news publications by advertisement and so forth and that the publications themselves might be inclined to grant more liberal space to the publication of such propaganda as the Central body might spread for the upbuilding of race enterprises. 7. To make a special campaign in various cities which now have no local league for the purpose of building up organizations in those cities and that the young business men should be specially encouraged to give their support. 8. To raise a fund among the members and friends of the League for the purpose of ultimately assisting worthy colored men in business. This fund to be administered by a Committee the details of which would be worked out later. Among other things Mr. Scott recommended that a School of Commerce or Commercial Department be established in all our colored colleges and that experts along the lines of business management and salesmanship be employed to teach these subjects. After all, he said, a business education is an essential for the colored boy and girl. Mr. Scott intimated that there are too many ministers and not enough men engaged in upbuilding occupations. He said there is a colored minister for every 562 persons colored in the United States while there was one physician for every 3,194 persons. The principal officers elected for the next year were: Major R. R. Moton, Tuskegee, President; Chas. H. Banks, Mound Bayou; Fred Moore, New York, Vice-Presidents; Chas. H.

Obituary One of the first to fall in our recent race riot was one of our noble heroes, J. W. Simpson. Simpson was born in Winchester, Ky., January 11, 1889. When two years old, his people moved to Cincinnati, Ohio. Simpson stayed in Cincinnati until about ten years ago when he left and came to Chicago to make his permanent home. Simpson passed the Civil Service examination for policeman with a high mark and was readily put on the force where he stayed until he enlisted in the army and left Camp Grant for France with the 365th Infantry, as supply sergeant. After he received his honorably discharge from the army, he went back to his position on the police force. He stayed there until he met his untimely death doing his duty during the race riots. He bore an excellent reputation; was from a family that stood second to none in his birthplace. He made friends of all whom he came in contact with. A noble son was he to his mother. He was our pal and we miss him just as Do Your Teeth Need Attention? Head of Baptist Publication Society Addresses California Business Men Oakland, Cal., Aug. 21, 1919. Dr. S. N.

NEWELL, Dentist Bottoms Catches Burglar in Basement After Cash Had Been Stolen The Dreamland Cafe, 3520 State street, was the scene of a robbery the past Thursday morning at 5:30. The resort was closed at the usual hour and all the guests, supposedly, were ushered out. One unwelcome visitor remained, hiding in the basement, with an automatic revolver and a bottle of chloeform. The latter he intended to use on Edward Bottoms, the watchman of the place, as soon as he began to take his nightly roll in the arms of Morpheus. Mr. William Bottoms, the owner of the pleasure resort, for some unaccountable reason lingered with Ed until the wee small hours, thus causing the prowler to hesitate about carrying out his plans. Between the hours of five and six the proprietor left for home; the watchman stepped across the way for some coffee. As soon as the thief found that the coast was clear, he rifled both drawers of the cash register, taking thirty dollars in small change. The guardian, who by this time had finished his Java, leisurely walked across the street. Reaching the sidewalk, he noticed a man come hastily out of the front door of the Dreamland. Securing the services of Officers Jackson and Harper, they entered the cafe and searched the premises. In a storage room for near beer they found Walter Hill lying stretched out behind some barrels. Bringing him out, he confessed to the robbery and also said that he had an accomplice on the outside, who was to be let in by him to open the office safe, but who was frightened away at the approach of the watchman. The cash, two revolvers and a bottle of chloroform were taken by the officers as evidence against Hill. Ohio Governor to Bar Riot Pictures Urges Censoring of Films to Aid Friction (Special to the Whip.) In an official order sent to the State Board of Censors, Gov. Cox, urged that a ban be placed upon all pictures offered for exhibition showing the scenes of the Washington and Chicago riots. His reason for such an edict was that it might serve to incite prejudice and ill feeling among the lower element of both races. The corporation of the news picture producing companies and local motion picture house managers was also solicited and secured to assist the authorities in this work. THE CHICAGO WHIP Complaint Filed Against Real Estate Dealer Charges He Increased Rental $20 A complaint was filed with Commissioner of Public Service Reid against Henry W. Paschal, colored, because he advanced rents $20 a flat after purchasing an apartment building at 22 East Forty-sixth street. The complaint was filed by a white tenant, Mrs. L. Harrington. Mr. Paschal, she claims, after raising the rents gave the tenants, who are all white, no assurance that they would be allowed to reside there if colored people were found who would rent the flats. Wilson's Lucky No.13 According to a recent story, President Wilson's lucky number is 13, and most of the important things he has accomplished were done on the 13th of the month. But our President is not the only one whose real life experiences disprove the superstition attached to that hoodoo number. Sidney Blackmer, who is playing one of the leading roles in "39 East" at Maxine Elliott's Theatre, has become a "13 fan." And here are his reasons: He was born on the 13th day of July; left home for boarding school at the age of 13; made his prosessional deput on the 13th of February and played in "The 13th Chair." After being rejected as a volunteer in the United States Army, he was accepted in the draft, finding himself number 13 in the classification. He waived all clams for exemption and became installed in the 13th Company of the 156th D. B., Camp Jackson. He was commissioned Lieutenant in the Field Artillery on the 13th of October, 1918. Because he was discharged on a day other than the 13th, Mr. Blackmer thought that at last he had dodged the lucky number. But on totalling the number of digits in his discharge papers, he found the sum to be 13.

A few hours earlier Dobbin thought he would never see the old barn at 476 West Chicago avenue, or his owner, Fred H. Hart, again. The horse had wandered too near the edge of the lake embankment and had tumbled into the water. It was only energetic work on the part of Capt. John Anderson and his life-saving crew that saved him. They fastened ropes about the swimming animal and towed him to shore.

Jackson, with headquarters at 3333 State Street, deserve great credit for the splendid work done during the recent time of distress among our people. As soon as it became a known fact that many of our people were suffering hardships from the lack of employment, these men organized themselves into a Relief Committee to do whatever was possible toward bettering these conditions. They immediately set to work and there are many to testify to the wonderful work done by them. = Tickets were distributed among families in need of assistance. Persons holding these tickets were lined to await their turn. Upon presentation of this ticket, each person was given a basket of food in proportion to the number in the family. A basket contained enough to last the family two days. The skillful and systematic manner in which this work was carried out is worthy of special mention. One thousand tickets were taken in each day, which averages three thousand persons fed from this station daily. Mr. S. S.

All That Affected Her That the Empress Eugenie is not prone to brood sentimentally over the past is evidenced by an incident that occurred some years ago. She visited Windsor castle, a palace in which in the golden days of the empire she was received as an honored guest. Those who accompanied her on this second visit hovered near her, fearing that she would be overcome with the contrast between the past and the present, especially when she viewed the apartments fitted up for her use and which had not been changed. But it was merely her artistic sense that was offended. The hangings of the huge bed were of imperial purple with the green of Napoleon, and the ex-empress remarked disgustedly, "Toujours ces affreux rideaux!" "Always those frightful curtains."

BLACK'S BLUE BOOK Fund to Improve South Plan $3,000,000 Loan Side Property To Be Offered by Both Races— Corporation being formed with $3,000,000 capital. The Chicago Real Estate Board and the Association of Commerce met jointly and drew up a plan whereby it will be possible to wreck the tenements now occupied by Colored people and put up new, sanitary, fireproof buildings in their place. It was planned to form a corporation of Chicagoans with $3,000,000 capital. "It is not a philanthropic move," said Ivan O. Ackley of the real estate firm of Ackley Bros., "but an organization for profit bent upon solving the race housing problem in the most sensible manner. Leaders of the Negro race want to co-operate with us and we are certain of success." "The housing question for Negroes must be settled without delay," said Mr. Jamme. "We have been at this thing for years and it is time we had done something. The Association of Commerce is backing the Real Estate Board in this to the limit." Would Lessen Race Trouble "If we can settle the housing problem we can dispose of 90 per cent of race difficulties," said Ivan O. Ackley, president of the Real Estate Board. "This racial strife has cast a dark shadow on Chicago, and the only way we can get rid of it is to have better and more housing facilities for Negroes. The Negroes are necessary for our industrial development and they are entitled to clean and sanitary conditions, such as the white man is accustomed to. "We must rehabilitate the old homes and build new quarters for Negroes. Our plan is to raise money with which the Negroes can buy small homes and pay us back on the installment plan." Many Homes Unfit "During my investigation in the Negro district," said C. R. Bixby, field agent for the bureau of industrial housing and transportation, "I found that some Negries' homes were unfit for a dog. You certainly cannot have decent, law-abiding citizens from people who are living under such conditions. "There are 125,000 Negroes here," continued Mr. Bixby, "and the only thing we can do is to see they have decent homes." After the speeches members of the Real Estate Board began discussion of the problem. "I move that we appoint a committee to confer with Negroes on segregation," said one member. The president said he would appoint such committee. "The law does not allow segregation," said President Ackley, "but if we settle this housing question satisfactorily, segregation will come of its own accord." A majority of the members who spoke were in favor of segregation, but owing to the fact the special meeting had been called on the housing problem, the segregation question was temporarily dropped. No definite steps were taken, but C. R. Bixby, who is making a personal investigation of the home conditions of the Negroes, will report at the next meeting.

Discussing the influenza epidemic and the many so-called influenza cures, Dr. Horace Whitney Williams said in a lecture at the University of Chicago, "Isolation, warmth and perfect care are the only treatment. The so-called cures remind me of a story about a grocer. To this grocer a patron brought back a pound of butter. "I want to complain about this butter. It's awful,' the patron said. "The grocer sniffed it. 'Smells sweet enough to me,' he observed. "But, it's full of hair,' said the patron. 'I counted eight or nine hairs in it. Yes, sir, this butter's full of hair, and I want to know what you're going to do about it.'

There was no city of Winnipeg forty-nine years ago, a fact that reminds one of the energy and industry put forth by the Canadians who went West a generation or so ago, and of the richness of the country to which they went. the necessary authority.

THE HIGH COST OF BEING A NEGRO THE WHOLE WORLD IS UP in arms to combat the high cost of living. Of course they have started wrong and the results obtained will be only temporary. All of the hoarded food in the country would not feed us for ten days. Everybody, especially the laboring classes, are affected by the high cost of living. No one possessed of ordinary intelligence expects to escape it. It is obvious that taking millions of men from productive tasks where they were assets and engaging them in destructive occupations, making them liabilities, that the citizens who are joint stockholders in the body politic would suffer the inevitable losses. The negro has not been a conspicuous figure in this organized clamor. It naturally creates a question in the analytical mind because the reduction of the high cost of living is of as much importance to the welfare of the commonwealth as the sale of thrift stamps and liberty bonds. No one will deny that the colored people, as a group, did their share in making these a success. Why is the negro not so conspicuously sandwiched in the international army that is charging the profiteers to reduce the high cost of living? THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE. HE IS TOO BUSILY ENGAGED IN REDUCING THE HIGH COST OF BEING A NEGRO. The white workers who for the most part are members of well organized labor unions, have wrested from the pockets of capital sufficient wage increases to greatly offset the diminished purchasing power of the dollar. Wages or items of expense, and it is useless to say when the expense of big business is increased that they will increase the price of their commodity or service, AND THE NEGRO IS PRINCIPALLY THE GOAT JUST BECAUSE HE IS A NEGRO. The antipathy of union labor toward colored men, coupled with the threatening big stick that the capitalists holds over his head, the negro is now thrown between the "frying pan and the fire." We are not condemning the white workers for striking. They are justified in me and we miss him just as here, in the sweet Bye and we are justified in most of their demands for better pay. THE RECENT STREET CAR STRIKE, OUT OF WHICH THE EMPLOYEES HAVE GOTTEN FROM 20 TO 60 PER CENT RAISE, THE NEGRO IS FORCED TO PAY IN EXCESS FARES OVER $2,000,000 PER YEAR WITHOUT GETTING BACK A PENNY IN SALARIES. HE IS NOT A MOTORMAN, CONDUCTOR OR INSPECTOR, BECAUSE HE IS A NEGRO. In the textile industries in New England, salaries have increased 60 per cent while the salaries of Negroes who make their jobs a possibility are only raised 25 per cent. White men doing the same work are getting twice the amount in salaries. The articles manufactured are put upon the market and the negro has to pay the same price for them as the whites who are getting better wages. IN CHICAGO, KANSAS CITY, NEW YORK AND DETROIT WHERE NEGROES ARE WORKING, GETTING THE SAME SALARIES AS THE WHITES, THEY HAVE TO PAY TWICE THE RENT, AND IN NIGHBORHOOD CLOTHING AND GROCERY STORES, RECENT INVESTIGATIONS SHOW THAT FOR THE SAME GRADE OF GOODS, THE NEGRO HAS TO PAY, BESIDES THE RAISE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE JUSTIFIED BY THE GENERAL CHANGE IN ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, AN ADDITIONAL COLOR TAX, SOMETIMES AS HIGH AS 50 PER CENT; THUS HIS NET EARNINGS, IF ANY AT ALL, ARE 50 PER CENT LESS THAN THE WHITE WORKERS. BY PERVERTED SOCIAL CONVENTION, BOMBS AND RIOTS, HE IS FORCED INTO A CERTAIN TERRITORY WHERE HE IS BLACKJACKED OUT OF HIS EARNINGS. Very recently in some of the larger cities, anti-negro propaganda has been spread by scheming criminal and low white real estate men for their personal gain. In such districts, white business men have been threatened with boycott if they did not discharge colored help. Several hundred colored people have been thrown out of profitable employment on this account. Just because they were negroes the sequence is that the whole race has an additional ensense. In the political world, which to a great extent overlaps the industrial and economic, his status is the same. It costs him to be a negro. In the Second Ward alone, where he constitutes 85 per cent of the majority of the population, he only gets 15 per cent of the patronage, including the civil service. Therefore, he is robbed of the difference between the 15 and 85. If all of the data relative to the additional expense and disadvantages that are singular to the negro besides the general disadvantage all have to suffer, a brain devoid of anything but density could easily perceive why the high cost of living as it affects the general public pales into insignificance in comparison with the high cost of being a negro. IN FACT, THE COLORED MAN HAS SO MUCH TOLERANCE AND ENDURANCE ABOVE THAT OF THE OTHER GROUPS, THERE ARE VERY SERIOUS DOUBTS IF HE WOULD KICK AT ALL IF HE WAS ONLY AFFECTED AS THE REMAINDER OF THE POPULATION. The high cost if being a negro is one of the most pathetic incidents in the universe day and along the lines of general democracy unless the cost is sened "the heart of the world will be broken" and especially the gro's own heart because "he is on the operating table, but without anaesthetic." (Aid the Belgian relief and feed starving France.) THE CHICAGO WHIP HAS THE NEGRO BEEN FIGHTING FOR SOCIAL EQUALITY? The publications of our country seem to be much concerned and perturbed by the advent of the new negro. Every little weekly, daily and monthly, has had a few glances and views upon the recent racial frictions, and it appears that some attempts at solutions have been conscientiously given. However, to our way of thinking the minds of these good Samaritans have been clouded with subconscious prejudices, and swayed by self sentiments to such an extent that the truth sas been obscured, and the issues have been tied into Gordian knots. We do not claim that we can set the minds of our interested friends on the pathway of right thinking, but we can at least lay bare a few facts and queries. From our "friends," the editors of the Southern dailies, Senator Medill McCormick, Proft. Taft, Maclay Hoyne, the Chicago Tribune and from the excerpts of the Literary Digest, THE PARAMOUNT EVIL THAT CONTAMINATES THE NEW NEGRO IS HIS DESIRE FOR "SOCIAL EQUALITY." We have made an accurate survey of the claims of the new negro. We have censored his activities since his return from France. And we even aided the investigators of Chicago dailies as they followed the color line. We have gathered first hand information from Washington, D. C., as to feeling of its colored people. WE FAIL YET TO OBSERVE WHERE THE NEGRO HAS MADE ANY FIGHT FOR SOCIAL EQUALITY. ONE OF OUR QUERIES is what has the negro done in fighting for social equality? THE NORTH SEEMS to be solid in its vociferation that negroes will not be denied political equality. What is political equality if it is not full right of citizenship? What is the full right of citizenship? The constitutional fathers aided by John Marshall, Chief Justice, have already interpreted it for us and even the 13th, 14th, 15th amendments have by their worst enemies been construed to give the right of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, to negroes. PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS HAS BEEN DEFINED BY OUR MOST EMINENT JURIST AS THE "RIGHT OF PROPERTY ENJOYMENT." Yet they claim the negro is fighting for social equality when he buys property in sections where before he was a stranger. THEY CALL THIS AN INVASION. Invasion popularly defined means the act of invading or the first attack or conquest of something hurtful. Where the harm lies is in the hypersensitive, vainglorious Caucasian who does not want the negro to be given the full rights of citizenship. They also said that the negro is imbued with the idea of new freedom. The whole world wants to be free. The wrold is writhing today under the iron hand of technical slavery and is fighting to be free. Why censure the negro? Medill McCormick claims because a negro boy in Washington refused to take off his hat in an elevator with ladies, was impudent and failed to act according to standards. In the South, white men never lift their hats in the presence of colored ladies and the boy's soul was poisoned by the attempt to leprorize his womanhood. Taft says the negro cannot get social equality by fighting for it. The Negro socializes that authorities and was fined $50 and costs instead of this work canizes that miliancy will not create "Utopia within this world as well as Mr. Taft. The only instance that we advocate miliancy in our claims for social equality is in the protection of our women from WHITE MEN WHO VIOLATE THEIR SO-CALLED ACCEPTED STANDARDS THAT THEY MAKE. We admit that the Negro is tired of being a "half man." We admit that he is tired of the heel of white oppression. We admit that he has been pushed to the wall and even he now stands and shows his teeth. We even admit that the Negro desires social EQUALITY ON THE BASIS OF MERIT. BUT WE CANNOT BE INTELLECTUALLY HONEST AND TRUTHFULLY ADMIT THAT HE HAS MADE ANY FIGHT FOR SOCIAL EQUALITY. HIS FIGHT HAS BEEN A DEFENSIVE ONE. THIS SEEMS SURPRISING AND ALARMING TO OUR WHITE FRIENDS, WHO SEEM TO THINK THAT HE SHOULD BE PASSIVELY SUBMISSIVE. WE KNOW HOW American soldiers and sailors infested France with their damnable prejudice. We know that the Negro's soul has rankled with hate and resentment. We also know that white solddeirs and marines led the mobs in Washington. Lest we forget, the mobs in the loop were commandeered by sailors and soldiers. Did it ever occur to you that our white friends really fear that the Negro is breaking his shell and beginning to bask in the sunlight of real manhood? IS IT THE DESIRE OF THE WHITE AMERICAN TO KEEP THE NEGRO INFERIOR AND SUBTERFUGE HIS EVERY ACT ON THE GROUND OF SOCIAL EQUALITY? THE COOK COUNTY BOARD AND BOLSHEVISM. The Cook County Commissioners, commonly referred to as the County Board, a few weeks ago was spoken of as being the vermiform appendix of the County Government. It has certainly lived up to its reputation in its recent attitude towards the Colored population of Chicago. (If reports are true.) The County Board holds a conspicuous place in the scheme of our civic forces. It has the power to make appropriations necessary to the proper functioning of the county offices which are held to strict accountability for the peace and safety of the community. Since the present Board has been in power the only thing it has accomplished was to run a bankrupt County further in debt, by raising its own salary. As taxpayers, the hundred and twenty-five thousand colored voters did not raise one finger of protest. In fact they were willing that the Board should take an additional bonus, thinking that it would so replenish the economic indigence of its members that they would be in a better mood to deal impartially with American citizens, regardless of color. That they have lived up to their reputation as being vermiform appendix to the County Government, and that they have also maliciously betrayed the confidence placed in them by both fair-minded colored and white citizens, is evidenced by their refusal to make an appropriation to the sheriff's office to employ special deputies to protect the lives and property of law-abiding citizens from the onslaught of "irresponsible hoodlums" BECAUSE, THE SHERIFF ANNOUNCED HIS INTENTION OF INCLUDING EX-COLLORED SOLDIERS AMONG HIS SPECIAL DEPUTIES. To the analytical mind, only the following motives could have been in possession of these commissioners to allow them to stray Do you want to know why colored people pay higher rents than other group? Do you want to know the solution of the housing problem? Do you want clean news? Do you want to get a better wage?

Lewis Dr. Lewis will be glad to answer medical questions that are sent to him, provided stamped and self-addressed envelope are furnished. Such questions and their answers, if of general interest and if space permits, will be published in this column, unless otherwise requested. THE AGE OF USEFULNESS A favorite question for discussion has always been concerning the age at which a man is most productive. Is he worth more to the community when he is young, ambitious, virile, imaginative, full of initiative, hopeful, resourceful, or when he is mature, thoughtful, moderate, sedate, calm, practical, or is when he is old and wise, experienced and tried, meditative and deliberate, steady and full of conviction? In regard to this interesting question it is of significance that the medical profession celebrated during the month of July the birthday of Sir William Osler, undoubtedly the greatest living physician in the world. A decade ago Dr. Osler made the daring statement that when a man reached the age of seventy he should be chloroformed because his life of use so far from principles of justice and fair play: FIRST, to show to the world all men of color were either actively engaged or in sympathy with the hoodlum element that had taken the law in their own hands; SECOND, to discourage the progressive element of both races who insist upon absolute justice and equality from all branches of the government; THIRD, they realized their inability to do any constructive work to hold them in the esteem of the white voters, so they desired to play on their weakest point, "keep Negroes down," in other words to play "gallery politics." We apologize for even making a comment or offering any defense for such cowardly prejudiced reasoning as evidenced in the first two motives. THE NEGRO'S RECORD FOR LOYALTY TO THIS GOVERNMENT IN ITS INTERCOURSE WITH OTHER NATIONS, AS WELL AS THE PRESERVATION OF INTERNAL PEACE DOES NOT WARRANT DEFENSE. THE VIRTUE OF THEIR ACTS DEFENDS THEM. WE ARE SIMPLY MAKING THIS COMMENT, TO LET THOSE MEN KNOW THAT WE HAVE THE EYES OF ARGUS, AND THE MEMORIES OF ELEPHANTS. AND THAT NO INSIDIOUS JUNKERISM WILL BE PULLED OFF ON COLORED PEOPLE WITHOUT STRIKING THE CENTER OF OUR OPTIC NERVES, AND BEING ENCOUCHED IN OUR REFENTIVE MEMORIES. The County Board has missed its mark. Instead of discouraging and weakening the organized, determined efforts to secure equal treatment, they have helped to strengthen them. White men who have not given the race question any serious concern have suddenly seen the injustice of it all, and have joined our ranks, besides Negroes who have been anesthetized, have come from under the chloroform of political bunk. THE BOARD has allowed their prejudice and petty politics to delude them into striking a foul blow beneath the belt, which has done more harm to the city of Chicago, and the County of Cook, than the most elastic mind can measure. This foul attack has fertilized the minds of the lawless element for the growth of helplessness and anarchy. The Board allowed their prejudice to clog it lower than any man of color would ever stoop. They have proven their incompetency as government custodians, with this typical "puerile malicious small town hunk." Their serious force conclusions of the orator who called them the vermiform appendix of county government. Though we are injured, and our hearts are bleeding, our heads are not bowed. We are consolated in the fact that the appendix has no vital duties to perform. Science has made it possible for this useless, valueless organ to be removed without vitally affecting the other organs of the body. GENTLEMEN, BEWARE!! PREPARE FOR THE OPERATION AT THE NEXT ELECTION, AND REMEMBER THAT NEGROES WERE SOLDIERS AND SHERIFFS, RISKING THEIR LIVES FOR THE PROTECTION OF THIS COUNTRY, WHEN MR. RHINEBURG WAS ON THE RHINE. fulness is over. Had Dr. Osler's theory been in vogue even for so short a time as the last century there is no way of estimating the loss to the world and posterity. And it is of interest to note that some of the greatest work of Dr. Osler's busy career has been done since he reached his sixtieth year. He who places stress on age limit for accomplishing things has only to look over the recent list of names of men who played a conspicuous part in the world's greatest war: Clemenceau (physician), 78; Woodrow Wilson, 63; Foch, 68; Joffre, 67; Petain, 63; Lord Kitchener, 73; French, 61; Col. March, 65; Admiral Sims, 61; Arthur Balfour, 71; Admiral Jellicoe, 60; Col. House, 61; Von Kluck, 72; Von Hindenburg, 72; Von Zeppelin, 78; Von Mackensen, 70; Von Moltke, 64; Kaiser Wilhelm, 60. It has been frequently stated that the war could not have been carried on without these men. In previous wars men of the ages mentioned have been left at home, but in the world's war these men showed the staunch stuff of which they are made. In truth, the matured mind in this great war was one of the biggest elements that played the winning part. Again let us glance superficially over a few of the characters in other walks of life and review briefly some of the military leaders, statesmen, artists, sculptors, scientists, authors and actors who have played a leading role in life's drama and who achieved fame after 60 and many of them after 70 and still others who were at the zenith of their fame even after 80 years of age. Here are a few of the most conscious. Lord Roberts, in harness at time of his death at 82; Wm. E. Gladstone, statesman, 89, did some of his best work after 80; Elihu Root, head of the American Mission to Russia, 74; Cardinal Gibbons, noted prelate, 85; Herbert Beerbohm Tree, 63; Joseph H. Choate, 85, a factor in American life until he was 80; Thomas A. Edison, 72; Auguste Rodin, French sculptor, 92, did his greatest work in the last 15 years; Mrs. Humphrey Ward, representative woman novelist, 68; Leo Tolstoy, Russian novelist and reformer, 82; Sarah Bernhardt, celebrated actress, 75; Giuseppe Verdi, Italian opera composer, 88; Julius Mussenet French composer of operas, 70; Elli Flagg Young, head of the Chicago pub school system, 73. This list of great men and women illustrates beautifully the statement that it is never too late for success, provided the will and desire are there. Dear Doctor: I have had a goitre since I was 15 years old and I am now 23. I have been told that if I will wear a string of beads around by neck the goitre will disappear. Is this true? What medicine would be good for it? Reply There is no foundation whatever to the common belief that a string of beads around the neck will reduce thyroid tumor. You may try taking 2 grains of the iodide of potash three times a day. CHARMINGLY YOUTHFUL Copyright. Underwood & Underwood Pretty little dress of pink organdie with coral velvet ribbons and a dainty frill of lace at the throat; just the thing for a young girl's party dress. TO PROTECT THE SLEEVES Most Serviceable Coverings May Be Made From Men's Handkerchiefs of Cheap Materials. Nearly all business girls wear over-sleeves while at work; but if the sleeves are made of the usual black or dark material, they give a severe look to any dress. It is a good plan to make the sleeves from men's handkerchiefs; the cheap ones, sold for ten cents, answer the purpose. Perhaps the most serviceable kind is that with a white center and a colored border. A center of solid tint is pretty, and may show the dirt less; but the tint is likely to soon fade, and the goods on which it is used is likely to be more expensive than the white handkerchiefs. Fold the handkerchiefs diagonally twice, to form a right-angled triangle, four folds in thickness, with the edges of the handkerchief as the hypotenuse. Then cut off one of the corners or acute angle, somewhat on a slant. The wrist of the sleeve should be about five inches before it is bound. All seams must be French ones so that there shall be no roughness. Gather the wrist slightly, and bind it with a bias strip from one of the pieces that were cut off. It should be from three and four-fourths to four and one-quarter inches across when finished, or just large enough to slip the hand through easily. A narrow edging of lace may be added; it gives the sleeves a more finished appearance. Folding twice, of course, gives a pair of sleeves from one handkerchief. When the sleeves are in use, the seam comes on the inside of the arm, and the point is pinned on the outside just above the elbow. That will hold the sleeve comfortably in place, and the strain being on the bias of the cloth, it gives with every motion of the arm, and fits more closely than a sleeve made on the straight would. Such a sleeve can also be worn by any housekeeper when she is at her work. They can be made and laundered so easily that they commend themselves to the practical girl. PRETTY THINGS IN FOULARD Parisian Dressmakers Are Turning Out "Creations" That Are Much More Than Ordinarily Attractive. An excellent piece of advice for the summer is: "When in doubt, choose foulard." Foulard has again come into its own kingdom; never has this delightful silk been more lovely, never has it been produced in more delicate and original colorings. The Paris dressmakers are doing rather wonderful things with spotted foulards. They are using the spots as a groundwork for silk or wool embroideries and producing really amazing results by simple means. For example, a little chemise dress of black foulard was dotted over with large white rings. At the hem, for a depth of twelve inches, these rings were worked over on the outside with japonica pink silk and covered—that is to say, the inner round—with a miniature lattice of silver threads. The same embroidery was applied to the front and back of the bodice and the sash was made of japonica pink satin ribbon with black and white tassels. It was charming, this little dress, and so simple; any one could achieve it. Rings or stripes may be decorated in this way with colored silks and metallic threads. Irregular designs, too, can be outlined or filled in. PAINT FADED HAT Some Effective Hand Touches for Headgear. Any Number of Simple Designs May Be Worked Out by Woman Who Is at All Clever With Brush and Colors. If it's the old straw hat that is looking pretty much the worse for wear, but still has possibilities to carry it through the rest of the summer, you might treat it with the paint brush. Usually the hat that begins to look seedy so early in the race is a light hat. So the first thing to do is to give it a brand-new complexion. Cleanse it, and then let it go at that—as far as the background is concerned—or treat it to any kind of hat dyes on the market. The painted hat is most effective when it's first of all a black hat, as witness the stunning examples in the millinery shops. So you will do well to let the new coat be a black one, or at least a deep blue or purple. One appreciable thing about this fad for trimming a bit of headgear with oi colors is the effectiveness of big, simple, rather splashy designs as compared with the insignificance of more tedious decoration, particularly if the hat be sport and the straw rather of a coarse variety. Colorful conventional fruits and flowers are excellent choices. They may be placed precisely or with new art freedom on crown or brim, wherever you choose, or wherever they are calculated to be most becoming. Delightful in an entirely individual way are the bird and animal motifs for the brims of hats for the wee people. If you apply them where hat bands usually go, you can make a stencil band and expedite them with almost lightning rapidity. But maybe you would like to get a bit ahead of the season. In that case you will treat yourself to a chapeau in a pastel velvet and treat the velvet to some straight-stitch motifs, worked up in tinsel, or to a stunning embossed effect that is achieved by cording a design in all-over effect over the whole surface of the hat. COMBINE COLLAR AND GIRDLE Attractive Feature of a Frock That Meets With Favor Among Many Women. Navy blue and white organdie combined with bright-toned blue and red embroidery fashions an unusual little frock. Its very attractive feature is a high surplice collar, which is prolonged into a girdle and fluffy sash bow of navy blue organdie. This comes also in combinations of brown or rose with white organdie. Finer than calico but invested with all the quaintness and charm of that material are the new English prints of the type which one frock represents. Almost any of our grandmothers might have worn just such a dress with its square neck and elbow sleeves, but the modern young woman who wears this frock does not look in the least like anybody's grandmother. Bands of plain white broad emphasize the simplicity of the design and the material, and a band and bow of contrasting ribbon velvet is tied over the print sash. The flower design comes both in rose and in blue. Garter Fancies. Some garters of the present day are quite elaborate. They are made of all sorts of silks, ribbons, laces and embroideries and are ornamented with bows. One pair is made of blue silk fringed at either side and embroidered in lavender and pink. MANIFOLD USES OF THE OX Animal May With Truth Be Said to Be Most Useful of All the Domestic Animals. Of all our domestic animals the ox is certainly the most useful, writes Henri Fabre in Our Humble Helpers. During its lifetime it draws the cart in mountainous regions and works at the plow in the tillage of the fields; furthermore, the cow furnishes milk in abundance. Given over to the butcher, the animal becomes a source of manifold products, each part of its body having a value of its own. The flesh is highly nutritious; the skin is made into leather for harness and shoes; the hair furnishes stuffing for saddles; the tallow serves for making candles and soap; the bones, half calcined, give a kind of charcoal or bone black used especially for refining sugar and making it perfectly white; this charcoal, after thus being used; is a very rich agricultural fertilizer; heated in water to a high temperature, the same bone yields the blue used by carpenters; the largest and thickest bones go to the turner's shop, where they are manufactured into buttons and other small objects, the horns are fashioned by the maker of small wares into snuff boxes and powder boxes; the blood is used concurrently with the bone of black in refining sugar; the intestines cured, twisted, and dried, are made into strings for musical instruments; finally, the gall is frequently turned to account by dyers and cleaners in cleaning fabrics and partially restoring their original luster. OFFERS EVERYBODY A CHANCE Philanthropic Seattle Man Throws Open Hall for Absolutely Free and Uninterrupted Speech. A philanthropic fight promoter—one of the enterprising gentlemen who has been in the habit of putting on a boxing match every week or two—is much annoyed at the spasmatic interference of the officers of the law in his business affairs, and is proposing to throw open his hall for a weekly forum of free and uninterrupted speech, in place of the boxing bouts. "I want every guy that has anything to say to come over and say it," said the promoter, according to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, "and I'll give him ten minutes to spiel, and then he must shut his trap. I don't care what he is; any kind of a nut can come over and say right out what is on his chest. My luck has been so bad, and my spirits so depressed, that I want a laugh, and I believe a nut gathering of this kind would equal anything the Orpheum circuit or Pantigues or the best of them ever put on. You know, nature keeps playing jokes on humanity all the time; she mixes together some queer patterns in heads, and a lot of fellows can't help what they think; some have a hunch for one thing and some for another; I suppose we could get a few startling facts on anything from religion to chess in these verbal tournaments. And it will be absolutely free; I might pass the bat around at the close of the entertainment to square me on the hall rent, but for the rest I wouldn't want a cent to pay outside of the entertainment I get out of it. As soon as I can pull a jazz band together to fit in with the speechmaking I will announce the details, and we will be sure in for a summer's entertainment, if the sheriff don't close us up." A Filipino Vassar. What the occidental ideals of universal opportunities of education are to mean to women of the Orient takes on a large significance with the establishment in the Philippines of a university for girls only. This university is to be part of an educational group called Centro Escolar de Senoritas, where until now the instruction to girls has been only in the primary, secondary and intermediate grades. That this Filipino Vassar will develop traditions characteristic of girls' colleges in the United States cannot be doubted by anyone who has observed how wholeheartedly though shyly, girl students from the Orient have entered into the undergraduate studies, festivities and pastimes at American colleges. WILL BE WONDERFUL ROAD Highway of Solid Granite in the Rocky Mountains a Rival of the Appian Way. Taking example from the famous Appian way, which has the name of being the first great road undertaken by the Romans as a public work, the state of Colorado, with the help of an appropriation by the United States government, is building a highway of solid granite in the Rocky mountains. No other highway in the world, it is predicted, will provide travelers with so magnificent a scenic setting, close to a sheer fall of 3,000 feet on the other side of the great concrete posts and cables that will safeguard vehicular traffic. One gets an idea of the road from the practical statement that it is costing $25,000 a mile to build. Like the Appian way, on which long stretches of pavement first traveled over 300-old years before the Christian era, still remain practically perfect, the chairman of the Colorado highway commission believes that Colorado is creating a work which will defy the centuries and stand, on completion, as the most wonderful road in the modern world. Flax in the War. With the restoration of industry on a peace-time basis, cotton once again, according to recent authoritative statements, forges ahead of linen in the world's favor. The exigencies of the recent conflict raised flax to the position as leader among fabrics, a rank which it had held for centuries but had lost almost simultaneously with the advent of the cotton gin. With a realization of the importance of cotton in the making of munitions, there came a speedy reversion to linen for the more commonplace usages—waistcoats, sails for ships, even "wings" for airplanes having lately consisted of material woven from the sun-hued fiber. But flax has reached the end of its days of monopoly. King Cotton now rises to the fore in ordinary pursuits, and linen once again becomes the aristocrat in this field of supply. Coquelin's Memory "How many parts do you know well enough to play tonight if need be?" somebody asked Coquelin. He took a sheet of paper and wrote down the names of 53 plays of his repertoire. His friends laughed. "You are boasting surely, mon ami?" said the Viscomte de Lovenjoul. "You have every one of these plays in your library," said Coquelin quietly. "Get them all out and put them on the table." The viscomte did so. "Now," said Coquelin, "let anybody select a cue from any one of these plays at hap-hazard and give it to me." They tried him with 16 plays out of the 53 and he never missed a single cue or made one mistake.—Fortnightly Review. THE CHICAGO WHIP IN SPORTS SUITS Splendid Assortment for Woman Fond of Athletics. Pastime Apparel Very Much English in Cut and Fabric—Knitted Suit May Almost Be Called In- It is established that our most delightful fashions come from Paris, and it is becoming equally well established that our sport apparel is English in cut and fabric. We come to speak of the English walking hat, meaning the rather close-fitting hat with a tall crown curling up at the sides. English tweeds and flannels are a part of every sportswoman's vernacular, as suits of these materials are of her wardrobe. We differentiate between the onlookers and the real adherents, and recognize the rights of the latter to be as plainly and unbecomingly dressed as the most rigorous exercise demands. During the last year of the war the knitted sport suits made by hand appeared, first in Switzerland at St. Moritz and such places where winter sports abound. They were instantly accepted and were a boon to French and Swiss makers also, who could thus employ remuneratively their long winter evenings heretofore given over to lace making or the fine embroideries, the demand for which was interrupted by war. Now the knitted suit is indispensable. The great vogue over here for tricolette and jersey cloth has further stimulated this demand. The wool jerseys are ideal, for they do not rumble or crush and come in such splendid colors that every taste may be gratified. Hunters' green is a favored color for some reason—it always looks well and does not always fade as do other brilliant and decided shades. Nothing is more picturesque than the fashion of topping white skirts with Jersey coats of the most brilliant tones imaginable—green, yellow, and scarlet seemingly preferred. Undeniably they make gay color splotches on the landscape and add to the summer picture. Less serviceable than the wool jerseys are coats of fine faille and silk poplin. They are as delicate and refined as the most conservative woman could ask, and come in such pretty, soft colors as French blue and pale rose. The coat usually has rather wide sleeves which open over the blouse sleeve underneath and are not too tight. Deep revers cut away in front as a man's dinner coat rolls back at the sides and now and then one finds a sash finely fringed and belting in the waist—New York Sun. Gleaning the Stumps. The rapid decrease in the number of tall stumps which have been so familiar to the traveler through the coast hills of Oregon, is regarded as an indication of their approaching extinction. Hitherto some 20 feet of each stump has been left standing, silent relics of former monarchs of the forest, too thick for most saws to compass and too full of pitch to suit the sawmills. But now the need for timber is greater and men no longer climb high up on to boards thrust into notches in the trunk to suit the saw and the sawmill. They have learned thrift and they cut low down lest good lumber be uselessly wasted. Only as a record of past wastefulness are the tall stumps with their deep notches still visible. HAIL THE GEORGETTE GOWN Always More Popular Than Any of the Sheer Lingerie Materials and Launders Easily. A gown or blouse made of white or light-colored georgette, particularly if it is a one-fabric affair, will usually be found more serviceable than a similar garment made of one of the sheer lingerie materials, such as organdie, cotton volle, etc. The georgette garment can be washed with soap and water, but it does not require the vigorous treatment that a cotton fabric needs to make it look fresh and new, and certainly the amateur laudress can handle the georgette more easily than one of the cotton fabrics. Tunic and tier effects are being featured in the styles now appearing for fall and winter. These will vie for honors with the redingote and barrel sillhouette frocks, but fortunately there need be no real rivalry, as the redingote dress especially is distinctly a style that belongs to daytime apparel. Godet Fullness in Frocks Godet fullness is being introduced into new frocks by Paris dressmakers. The bodice extends far down into the skirt in long godet points and the skirt flares out between these flat godets in the new bouffant manner. The underskirt is very narrow and slim. Such a frock is of turquoise blue faille, in bodice and godets, the flaring skirt of gold tissues and the narrow underskirt of lace flouncing. Smock and Hathand to Match Smock and Hatband to Match. If you wish to make an otherwise miscellaneous costume harmonious, trim your smock in blanket stitch in lavender and use the same decoration for your hat, adding to both an appliqued design of leaves made of lavender or several smaller motifs will suit this scheme. DIME NOVELS COMING BACK In Eighteen Months "Nick Carter" Has Had Sales That Have Been Record Breaking. Nick Carter has come into his own again. The king of the "paperbacks" has made a record-breaking return to popularity. About eighteen months ago his sales began to mount steadily until the entire supply of Nick Carter books was exhausted, says the Sun. His return to fame was unexpected. It was not the result of an advertising campaign, for the publishers of the paper-bound books do not advertise. They depend instead for the sale of their books on the lists printed in the back pages of each volume. And Nick Carter was not the only member of the "paperback" tribe to return. All the old favorites—Laura Jean Libbey, Bertha M. Clay, Mrs. E. D. E. N. Southworth and Augusta J. Evans—have "come back" surprisingly. Five years ago everyone was willing to predict that the movies had killed the production of cheap books. Thrills could be absorbed more quickly from the screen than from the printed page—and the price was the same. Publishers of the paper books are uncertain whether their old reading public has tired of the motion picture or whether a new class of readers has arisen. Of one thing they are certain, though, the demand for the 16 and 15-cent book has increased fourfold. If it were not for the increased cost of production these publishers would be reaping the harvest of their lives. Stories of American life—as seen by Bertha M. Clay and other writers of her class—and detective stories are most in demand. Fortune-telling books and letter writers also have a large steady sale. "Dream" books were never so popular as they are today, their publishers say. HAPPY NATIVES OF SARAWAK Under Wise Government, People Live Easy Lives in Their Gloriously Fertile Country. The tribe of Kayans, inhabiting the head waters of the Baram and Rejang rivers of Sarawak, have lived for unknown generations almost isolated in the interior of the island of Borneo. There are many reasons for believing them to be originally of Caucasian origin. Many of them have very light skin, and they probably reached Borneo by way of the Malay peninsula from lower Burma. Rigid discipline is characteristic of the domestic menage, resulting in good manners and recognition of authority. For a good many years Sarawak was under the independent government of a white rajah, Sir Charles Brooke, who controlled his mingled subjects with unusual wisdom and sympathy. Among other far-sighted edicts he instituted stringent game taws, so that the island is one of the best protected parts of the world in this respect. Birds, beasts and butterflies are protected, not more than two specimens of any one species being allowed to the collector. In this way the very beautiful and rare trees and insects of the country are being maintained for the enjoyment of future generations. Another wise move of the rajah was to continue the native costume—what there is of it—in place of introducing the unsuitable, ugly and artificial modern clothing of Europeans. This, as Stevenson points out, has usually exactly the opposite effect from that intended by well-meaning missionaries, and the happy natives of Sarawak are very well off as they are. CAUSED A CHANGE IN MIND Circumstance That Made Mill Owner Somewhat Relax His Ideas About Strict Discipline. "I personally began with the idea that people might be hired and good work gained from them," Julian S. Carr, Jr., in System, writes. Mr. Carr, who is president of the Durham Hosiery mills, goes on: "I thought in my youth that rules made order and that a certain military discipline was essential; that it was foolish to humor people and all that, nor was I going to recognize certain local traditions about days on which no work should be done. For instance, I made up my mind that quitting work to go to the circus was not in accord with the best industrial practices. "The first circus came to town about three months after we took charge of the mill, and I was keen for the test. We posted positive orders that the regular hours of work were to be observed on that day, and that any person who went off to the circus would be discharged. The full force reported as usual on the morning of circus day, and I went home to dinner confident that at last we had brought order. It gave me a bit of a pang, for I should have liked to go myself! "But duty is a stern master, and reflecting on that fact I hurried back to the mill. Noticing a crowd in a side street, I stopped to look. It was our whole mill force wending its merry way to the magic tent! I went along myself, and resolved that, although abstract rules were well enough, a bit of common sense and knowledge of human nature might profitably be blended with them. How much of our labor trouble generally is due to enforcing countless rules with military exactness?" "Yes, I'm going on the stage. I hope to play Juliet." "Well, think twice before you act once." SHE HAD ME ACCEPTED WEEKS BEFORE I ASKED HER. I HEAR BESSIE HAS ACCEPTED YOU. HELPED SOME C. W. The Police Magistrate—How is it that you are able to pronounce these Bohemia and Polish names so well? Police Captain—My upper teeth are false. A Bangs—it's a fine day for riding—overhead. Wangs—Yes. We ought to have an airship. AND GOT COLD FEET. I sent my daughter to a cooking school to fit her for marriage. Was the experiment a success? No, the man she was engaged to found it out. 10 I THOROUGH BREAD. What's the definition for thoroughbred? Well raised, with plenty of dough. 11 w.c.l.m. Mrs. Henpeck (during the quarrel)— Oh! I wish I had been born a man. Mr. Henpeck—So do I. Mrs. Henpeck (during the quarrel)— Oh! I wish I had been born a man. Mr. Henpeck—So do I. MUST BE BOSS He—Won't you be my partner for life? She—Will you incorporate and give me controlling interest? HIS WAY OF LOOKING SIR JOHN HENRY The Preacher—I suppose you consider gambling debts debts of honor! The Gambler—That depends. When they are due me I certainly think they are debts of honor. CRAMPED Baker Visitor—How did you feel sleeping In the upper berth on the railroad train? Willie (aged five)—I felt like I was in the top bureau drawer. A RAVEN AND A RABBIT Bunny—Why did you divorce your husband? Mrs. Crow—Oh! for "caws." THAT WOULD SEASON HIM. So you've seen papa. Did he say anything about you being too young? Yes; but he said when I once began to pay your bills I would age rapidly enough. 12 Jack Johnson gained the championship by double crossing Tommy Burns and Jim Jeffries. Neither one would have signed the articles of agreement to meet him, if he had not agreed to lay down. Plain as the nose on your face if you have followed the fight game. Burns and Jeffries were whipped before they entered the ring. That was Johnson's style of doing business, warning them both just before the fight he would not lay down. Each one knowing within himself his inability to whip Johnson too late to run out of the match, went into the ring a beaten man. Johnson's next move was to eliminate the colored contenders by the propaganda "no money in fighting a colored man." How did he know? There had been no colored heavy weight champions before. Colored champions of other classes had made money fighting colored opponents; at least their managers had. He was his own manager. With the colored brother eliminated and the propaganda of the prejudiced press, the quest for a white hope was begun. Two scheming promoters, Tom Jones and Jack Curley, seeing how easy it would be to get by with any white man, sat out to find him. They found him in the person of Jess Willard, a big bum who was running from twelve to eighteen hours behind with his meals. His only qualifications was that he had size, knew how to put on a pair of gloves and had fought a few fourth raters. The next thing was to fix Johnson. Jack Curley knew him personally; had done business with him when the two of them promoted the Jim Flyn-Jack Johnson fight at Phoenix, Ariz. Jack set out to find Jack. Two Jacks, that enough to open any pot or promote any fight. Quick as a flash of lightning out of a clear sky came the news to startle the world that Jack Johnson was to fight Jess Willard. The prejudiced fight public took it as a joke. What on earth had Willard done to warrant a match with the champion. The next move was to find a couple of men who knew less than Willard about boxing so he would not get killed before he got in the ring. After a very long and diligent search, two such men were found. Willard was such a clown that it took Johnson twenty-six rounds before he could possibly lay down. Johnson got all the money. Willard got the championship. Back to the States he sailed. He landed in the South, where they always let their Perry Quits Athletics Scott Perry has added himself to the list of major league athletes who, when their employers refuse to trade them from second division ball clubs to pennant contenders, make themselves an individual hegira and go hence. Perry abandoned the Athletics one week ago and has not been seen by his playmates since. Also Connie Mack, who half owns and presidents the A's, has adopted a Harry Frazee method of treating the absent brother. No word of suspension has been printed, neither has the Athletics club admitted that Perry ducked. Follows Mays Case. Follows Mays Case. This is in keeping with the preliminary incidents of the Mays case. According to members of the Athletics, Perry has not been seen since the last game he pitched against Detroit in Philadelphia, a week since. The White Sox bid for the services of this man the last time the Athletics were in Chicago, but did so decently and privately, doing business with Mr. Mack. He declined to make a deal. Mays Sets Example. Possibly Perry was spurred to desertion by the ultimate results which attended Carl Mays, who quit a second division outfit and was traded to a first division team, got fixed up by the courts so an umpire could not even put him out of a game and is pitching in clever. $100,000 Stake for 2 Year Olds Soratoga, N. Y., Aug. 15.—(Special.) —Plans for a race for 2 year olds to be known as the Maryland Futurity, and which will be the richest event on the American turf, were announced here today. The race is to have $60,000 added and with the various subscriptions and declarations probably will be worth more than $100,000 at the time it is run. The first running will be in 1921. The plan was suggested by R. J. Walden and was taken up by the Maryland Jockey Club. Each of the Maryland racing associations, those controlling Pimlico, Havre de Grace, and Bowie, will help to make up the purse, each contributing $20,000. The place or the first running will be decided by THE WORLD OF SPORTS BY JIM VANCE prejudice get the best of their judgment, and there he gathered in the loose change to the tune of an eighth of a million, and there’s where he shook off his two discoverers for the time being. They knew if he ever fought again he would have to come by them. After clowning around the country again and again and one burlesgue match with a second rater sandwich, Tex Rickard signs him up to fight on July 4th. Reenter Tom and Jack. The minute all arrangements are made a settlement was made with them by Willard. Johnson could not get in tins country to demand his, so he lets out a long distance yell from Mexico City. But the old press agent of the impending fight quickly snuffed it out. Jack Dempsey was chosen as his opponent; hailed as the only living man who had a possible chance with Willard. Of course, Harry Wills and Sam Langford were dead so far as the prejudiced sport writers were concerned. So the great game of kidding enough fight fans to Toledo, Ohio, was begun. Jess Willard the color line in training, something never heard of before in the history of prize fighting. But there was a method in his madness. He knew his limited ability, so he resurrected the same two clowns who had never trained anybody but him. It was a tough proposition to get a crowd at the prices and the caliber of the attraction. I talked with a number of fight fans who said they would not go to see it at any price. The press thought they were kidding the public and that the house would be sold out. But they found out that they were only kidding themselves. Twenty thousand fans were all they got—about a couple thousand real fans and the rest consisting of those who got their railroad fare paid or admission paid or both, and the other class that go just to be going, know nothing about the game, and have more money than sense. What was the result? The most humiliating and nauseating defeat ever given to a champion of any class in the history of the prize ring. He was actually knocked out in the first round. Now who whipped Willard? The greatest fighter of all times, the champion of champions, says the prejudiced press. Let’s throw the searchlight on him. Who did he ever whip? Everybody he ever fought. Who did he ever fight above a third rater? Billy Miske. Did he ever stop him? Not up until this time. Billy Miske weighs fifteen or twenty pounds less, still he stayed ten rounds twice with the greatest of all living fighters. How long did Billy Miske stay with Kid Norfolk? And you all know what Langford did to him when they had the benefit for the Red Cross down east. The place was packed with patriotic citizens. All the champions and near champions of all classes had donated their services. Dempsey’s opponent failed to show. Old Joe Jeannette climbed through the ropes and offered to go on just to give the fans a run for their money. This champion of all champions, greatest fighter that ever lived, drew the color line. Here is hoping that some foreigner who believes in fair play knocks his block off. Grand Reunion in Bleachers Grand reunion of the center field bleachers fans on the occasion of the second invasion of the eastern teams was held at White Sox Park, August 14, 1919. Wit, sarcasm and good natured railery flowed in an uninterrupted stream for more than two hours and a half. That's the place where the 33 degree fans of Chicago roost, ninety per cent of them moved over from 39th street with the team. You will find them there the hottest day in July or the coldest day of October. Say, Brother, if you don't know the game, keep your mouth shut. The average fan in that section attends ninety per cent of the big league games played in Chicago and about ninety per cent of the semi-pro games. They know every ball player the minute he gets out on the field. About 10% are actors and railroad men, who attend games in other big time towns during the season. Langford and Tate Plan Light Work for Final Week The fans of Grand Rapids, Mich., are promised plenty of action Saturday night, when Sam Langford and big Bill Tate, heavyweight boxers, mix in a ten round bout before E. W. Dickerson's club. Sam and Bill, who are doing their training in Chicago, will do only light work during the present week. The winner of Saturday's bout will get a match in Tulsa, Okla., with Jack Thompson of Philadelphia for the colored heavyweight championship.

THE CHICAGO WHIR F SPORTS E My gracious, said a reader recently, you must know a lot of prominent sporting people, judging from the way you refer to them. Well, modestly speaking, we know a few, for example, while entering a State street car yesterday morning who should be seated there but Frank Preer, owner of the Deluxe Billiard Hall. He had gotten on at 35th St., before we could utter a word, he said good morning so everybody could hear it. We thus have witness to the fact that we know one. We also have shaken hands with Teenan Jones, Art Cadozae, Alderman Anderson, Isadore LeVine, Alderman Jackson, Sam Langford, Sam MeyV, Jack Johnson, Rube Foster, Bill Bottoms, Bill McCulloch, Juli Jones, Lzy Shaw, Virgil Williams, Jim Griffin, Cib Cowan, George W. Holt, Walter L. Cohen, Bob Church, Jr., Doc Anderson, Doctor Johnson, Doctor Julius Green, Dan Jackson, Bill Lewis, William Buekner, Cary B. Lewis, S. B. Turner, Roscoe Conklin Simmons, Oscar De Priest, Jim Brewington, Jim Russell, Pat Preset, Johnny Brown, Homer Ross, Eddie Holt, Shep Allen, Billy Marshall, Giver Jones, Bob Harp, Jimmie Williams, Clarence McFarland, Bat Lewis, Walter Ball, Joe Green, but why continue, enough is enough, Read the Whip next week. Millions for libraries, odd cents for waiters.—Andrew Carnegie. --- THE CHICAGO WHIP BASE BALL CATECHISM Lesson 1—Babe Ruth Oh, see the man! Isn't he a big man? Yes. What is the man doing? The man is going to the plate. Is he going to bat? Yes, indeed; you can tell that by the way the fielders are going to the fence. Can this man hit this pitcher? You said it. This man can hit any pitcher. His name is Babe Ruth. What makes the fans in the pavilions move away? They are moving away because they know if Ruth fouls one just right and they are there to meet it, they will see their next game in heaven. What does Ruth hit? Ruth hits home runs. But does Ruth always hit home runs? No, Ruth does not always hit home runs. Some days he gets his base on balls, and other days the game is called on account of rain. Why are the pitcher and catcher talking to each other? Is the game over? No, indeed, with Ruth at the bat, the game is just begun. The catcher wants to feed him one on the inside, and the pitcher wants to pitch one outside. Will it make any difference which way they pitch? Yes, it will make a little difference. If they pitch outside, Ruth will hit the ball over the left field fence, and if they pitch inside, he will slap it over the right field. Oh, see the pitcher throw the ball. Isn't it coming in fast? It is, but not so fast as it is going out. Did the ball have anything on it? Yes, indeed, the ball had Babe Ruth's bat on it. My goodness, what a loud crash. Was that an explosion? Yes, it was an explosion. Ruth's bat exploded and blew in four runs. Is the game over now? We'll say it is—for the pitcher. B. V. D. Federal League Suit Those who love baseball and wish to see the National game prosper are still more or less stunned by the decision of that jury at Washington, D. C., awarding damages to the men who had money invested in the ill-fated Federal League at Baltimore. Was the decision of the jury based entirely on law and facts? Let us hope so. The finding of that jury composed of eleven white men and one colored man may mean a lot to the future of professional baseball. Pal Moore in Paris to Fight 2 Bantamweights Paris, Aug. 21.—Pal Moore, popular American bantam, is arranging to meet two French bantams next months for a purse of 75,000 francs. They are Engene Criqui and Charles Ledoux. Nate Lewis, Moore's manager, says Jimmy Wilde, who recently received a decision over the American, refused £5,000 to meet Moore again in England. Moore and Lewis are now in Paris. WILD LIFE ON THE CHICAGO GIANTS BENCH Dialogue between Joe Green and one of his men with interruptions from other players. The object of Joe's wrath has just struck out in the ninth with the bases full, two gone, one to tie, and two to win. Green: You——you——who told you you were a ballplayer? The sinner: The same guy that told you you were a manager, you——you——you——! Green: Whadda ya think of a——like that? Fine piece of cheese, ain't he? The sinner: I can bat as good as any of them if I get a chance. What chance do I get, anyhow? Green. More chance than you deserve, you——! Walter Ball: Who in——could bat, or pitch, or do anything, the way you give orders, you——? Green: Aw, go to——, all of you, you——!!! General chorus of whole club: Go there yourself, you big——!!! When Bender, the famous Indian pitcher, was with the Philadelphia National League team, he was asked how he liked the manager, Pat Moran. "Pat's a bird," remarked the chief. "He is an easy boss when you give him all you've got, but you can take it from me he's one rough talker when you don't. If you treat Pat right he will treat you even better, but if you don't, he'll treat you even worse." When Ruth knocked the ball in the right field bleachers on August 14th at White Sox Park, he broke the American League record for home runs that has stood since 1902. The May's ease making a mountain out of a mole-hill. Is It Superstition? Just superstition, of course, yes, yes, but every ball player in the big leagues who becomes a hero in a world series gets the can tied to him the next year. Except with one exception, Red Faber, it took the White Sox eleven years to win a pennant. George Rho, after being the hero of the 1906 World Series, was turned back the next year. Looks like Comiskey had that thought in view when he kept the 1917 team intact for Invite Prince of Wales to Detroit Gold Cup Regatta Detroit, Mich., Aug. 21.—(Special.) —The Prince of Wales has been invited to attend the gold cup regatta here Aug. 29 to Sept. 1, when the world's motor boat championship will be decided. Capt. E. V. Rickenbacker, American ace, has been named one of the judges, divided into three heats. Miss Detroit III will defend the cup won last year. The challengers include Miss Detroit II, Miss Minneapolis, and Arab IV from Buffalo. SPORTING EDITOR HAS WIDE ACQUAINTANCE After Babe Ruth's record breaking home run, August 16th, I thought I would stroll down to the 26th Street Beach, cool off and interview my friend, Kid Dixon, life saver. Just as I arrived at the beach, the police officer on duty and Kid Dixon were talking about the ladies bathing suits. Kid Dixon: "Seems that all the chickens used all their wool knitting sox, car muffs and sweaters for the soldiers. Now they haven't any material left to make a sack frock out of, but dropped stitches, which is what most of 'em seem to be constructed of. Incidentally, some of the stitches dropped some distance." The first thing the officer saw was a chick in a one piece suit. He took three looks, the last two to verify the rumor started by the first look. He stated that the three looks were taken as an officer, not as a married man or a citizen. He saw she had on a one-piece suit, which is a violation of the law by nine inches. He ordered her' to take it off. Baseball pool magnets should cut out the "snitchen and bickering." That's wrong all over like a giraffe with a sore neck. Every one in the game is making more "Jack" than he can make doing anything else he knows. The players are satisfied and would hate to see an absolutely square pastime killed. Remember State Street looks better than the concrete jig with the steel portiers and the key tied to a rabbit. Kid Bevo now batting for Old Taylor. He can't hit .275. Pitchers Perry and Rodgers of the Athletics have jumped to a semi-pro team of Franklin Pennsylvania. Player Wilhorti, leading batter of the Western League, has been purchased by the Boston Red Sox. C. STOWE Staple and Fancy Groceries DELICATESSEN 3345 CALUMET AVE. the 1919 season. In 1909, Jake Abstein played a great game for Pittsburg in the world series against Detroit. But he got the hook the next year and Pittsburg has been amongst the also rans ever since. Look what the Red Sox owners did to George Whiteman. He was counted as a substitute out fielder all last season, did tremendous deeds in the annual classic. His hitting and fielding saving the Red Sox again and again, but he got the hook before the season started. Maybe that is the reason that the Red Sox who on paper ought to be up with the leaders, are being kicked around from pillar to post. CICOTTE'S OFF YEAR So great is the number of baseball writers who continually harp about 1918 being an off year for Cicotte, that I, as a student of the game, refer them to the book. I well remember a stretch of five successive games last year that he lost by the score of 1-0. The sixth game he won by the score of 1-0. In other words, the White Sox seceded just one solitary run for him in six successive games, one of them an extra inning affair. How many games are you going to win on that working margin? As a matter of fact, he won the only one of the six that they gave him anything to win with. Walter Johnson, Dick Redding, Withworth, Sothern, Jess Barnes and Alexander combined can't win games when no runs are scored. I suppose this showing indicates a slump, but if he never slumps any worse I shall be satisfied. In my opinion a game lost by the score of 1-0 ought not to count against the losing pitcher. It is unfair to figure otherwise, because he had absolutely no chance to win. The fact that he held the opposing side to a single run indicates that he pitched a star game. He pitched well enough to deserve to win. It is not his fault his own teammates failed to score. That is their look out. The pitcher himself pitched winning ball, and if he is cheated out of a victory he should have had, certainly that is penalty enough without chalking up an undeserved defeat against his account. On Saturday, August 16, Bill Bottoms, owner of Dreamland Cafe, had his car parked in the rear of the White Sox's Park. Babe Ruth hit the ball over the right field bleachers and it dented the hood of Bill's car. Ruth must have known that Bill is a White Sox fan, because there were 99 other cars in the place.

We can tell you, ask us. That the man who does the most business does not advertise. Poor simp, he is always "singin em" about hard times. That you can't get a drink with a kick in it. You can get one with two kicks. That Frank Preer hasn't got the finest billiard tables in Chicago. Well, he's got the most gentlemanly players. Someone said that Oscar De Priest and Virgil Williams were going to lock arms in defeating the next candidate in the Aldermanic campaign. "It's all right, but there's nothing to it." That the Whip was afraid to talk about our fake, self styled leaders. Idle talk. That Harvey Saunders did not sell the best drugs and hair oils cheaper than any of the white druggists on the South side. We know better. That the Armory is the best place to hold a business exposition. It's the biggest place all right. Milwaukee, Wis., Aug. 21.—(Special.) —Jack Sharkey of New York had little trouble in winning a popular decision over Bantamweight Champion Pete Herman of New Orleans in a ten round bout here tonight. The champion did not open up until warned by Referee Houlehan in the fifth, and for a few minutes gave Sharkey everything he had in stock, but for the remainder of the fight Sharkey scored a lot of points on open glove slapping. Chicago National League and Brooklyn National League on August 14th broke the league record for playing double headers when they finished both games in two hours and twenty minutes; taking one hour and ten minutes for each event. On August 14th, when Gleason used the "hook" on Cicotte, it was the first time this year the said instrument was used on said person. Let's hope it will be the last time. "Along Came Ruth" is a play that is very unpopular with American League pitchers. Reading about the late imitation of a packing plant held at Toledo, Ohio, July 4th, one of the officials, Jack Skelley was referred to as a former feather weight champion of the world. In July, 1892, Tom O'Rourke, manager of Geo. Dixon, feather weight champion of the world wrote to Jim Vance, Sr., and asked him could Dixon get protection in New Orleans. He replied, "Come on down; protection is assured." Tom O'Rourke, Dixon and his trainer, a small Irishman, about four feet in height arrived the next week. Dixon's training consisted of visiting all places of interest and your humble servant was the guide. Three fights were held in one week, feather weight championship, light weight championship and heavy weight championship. Jack Shelley was billed as the Jersey skeeter and he lasted just about as long as one; 8 rounds is as near as he ever came to being a champion. Mrs. C. Mitchell, 4426 Indiana Ave. Apt. 1.
