U. S. REGULARS RIOT AT LEAVENWORTH REBELLION SPLITS OLD BETHEL REBE REMOVAL OF DR. COOK DEFIED Members of Historic Church Claim Graft and Politics Dominate Situation The recent changes made in the appointments made by Levi J. Coppin of the Fourth Episcopal District affecting Bethel Church, 30th and Dearborn Sts., Chicago, IL., has caused a dissension which has gained wide proportions and threatens to wreck the congregation of Old Bethel. The attitude of the Bishop in bringing to the leading church Rev. S. L. Birt, formerly of St. Paul Church, Des Moines, Ia., and the sending of Dr. Cook to Des Moines as his successor, precipitated a situation in Bethel which in itself presents a parallel circumstance to that of Bethel Church in New York under the diocese of Bishop Herd. Members Make Statement In an interview with a representative of the Chicago Whip it was openly charged by such prominent men as Dr. Roscoe Giles, H. A. Watkins, Charles A. Griffin and J. P. Faulkner that the cause which led up to the removal of Dr. Cook had its beginning in the fight made by the now Bishop A. J. Carey for his present ascendency in the church. It is alleged by these gentlemen that at a midnight conference held at Quinn Chapel at the last Annual Conference September, 1919. At which time a caucus was held in which the Bishop participated. This caucus was for the purpose of selecting delegates to the (Continued on page 6) MORT SHOECRAFT IS FOUND DEAD Mort Schoecacher, age 50, 3105 Calumet Ave., apartment 36, was found dead in his room by his wife on her return from her vacation Sunday, October 3rd. He was said to have been fully dressed lying on the floor. Mort was well and favorably known by hundreds of people on the south end of the city. He was a member of the Elks Lodge Great Lakes 43, and had for years been prominent in the affairs of the order. He is survived by several brothers and a wife. From preliminary investigation on the part of the police it was said on authority that his death was of natural causes. Challenge American Legion on Race Issue NEW YORK CITY, Oct. 6. — Charging that the American Legion had refused to grant charters to colored posts of the Legion in certain southern states in violation of the constitution of the Legion, the N. A. A. C. P. sent the following telegram to the American Legion in session now at Cleveland, Ohio: "American Legion has not kept faith with colored soldiers. Southern states have absolutely refused to grant charters to colored Posts in Mississippi, Louisiana and other southern states. National organizer has written Major Joel E. Spingarn that it is useless to make any protest to national organizer. It is highly essential that a clause be added to national constitution providing that no charters be refused to any Post by any department organization on the grounds of race, creed or color. Knowing your record in World war and since, we rely on you to see that this provision is submitted and adopted." Must Cease Playing His New Plano ATLANTA, GA., Oct. 6—Louis Wofford, of 6 Hunnicut Place, this city, has just bought a new $800 player piano, but late last week Recorder George E. Johnson issued an injunction preventing Wofford from enjoying the music of the piano any longer. It appears that Wofford, who lives on the second floor of the apartment, was in the habit of filling himself with corn whiskey and playing the piano "all night long." Wofford was also fined $6 for being drunk at the same time. Medical Sor HIS DEFIANCE OF BISHOP COPPIN'S ORDERS HAS SPLIT BETHEL CHURCH Wake Company and Medical Society DR. BIRT MAKES STATEMENT By S. L. Birt, D. D. The action of the last Chicago Conference which session was held at Des Moines, Ia., it was said by those present that this was the greatest conference in the history of the church. The reports were far ahead of those in previous years. At the close of the conference some important changes were made. Among the changes were that of our hostess, Dr. S. L. Birt, who was sent to Bethel Church, this city, and Dr. W. D. Cook, who was assigned to St. Paul, Des Moines. Some dissatisfaction has arisen over this appointment, so much so until it is said Dr. Cook has withdrawn from the connection and established an independent church. This is the rights of any man, but that the public may know the facts in the case there was nothing irregular in this change of Dr. Cook's. He was sent to a first class church, the finest owned by negroes in America, with a seating capacity of 1690, a membership of 1457, paying a pastor's salary of $2800 per year and a fine parsonage of 10 rooms. The law of the A. M. E. Book of Discipline gives the Bishop the perfect right to remove any man at the expiration of one year. The out-going pastor of Bethel was assigned to this appointment five consecutive times and according to law he could not be reappointed unless the Bishop used the discretionary power which is left wholly with himself. Let the fair-minded public who may not understand the facts in the case read the A. M. E. Discipline and know the facts in the case. Do not make the mistake by falsely accusing the Bishop for removing any preacher at the end of the year, for they are in the bounds of right. Mexico Invites Negroes MEXICO CITY, Oct. 6.—In reply to a letter signed by several American Negroes as to whether colored immigrants would be welcomed in Mexico, and as to whether they would be subjected to segregation and discrimination, the president of the republic this morning dictated a letter in which he said among other things: "The doors of Mexico are open at all times to immigrants without distinction of race or color. Mexico would be proud of a colony of American Negroes." CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9th, 1920 Dr. W. D. Cook, formerly of Bethel A.M.E. Church, 30th and Dearborn sts., whose removal by Bishop Coppin precipitated the split in the his- toric old church. Dr. Cook's ad- herents charge a breach of faith on the part of the Bishop. 47TH ST. VICTIMS HELD TO GRAND JURY Samuel Hayes, Harry Snow and Frank Gatewood, the three colored men set upon by gangsters at 47th and Halsted Sts., on Sept. 20, resulting from the death of Thomas Barret, white, were held to the grand jury by the coroner's jury Tuesday morning. Hayes was held on a charge of murder, and Snow and Gatewood were held as accessories. STORM JAIL TO AVENGE COLORED WOMAN STORM JAIL TO AVENGE COLORED WOMAN PITTSBURGH, PA., Oct. 6—An insulting remark made by a white man to a lady on Center Ave. Monday evening and his refusal to apologize when called upon by her escort nearly caused a serious disturbance after his arrest by policemen when several hundred men attacked the police station in an effort to secure the assailant here Monday night. The real trouble I alleged to have been that two white an attempted to flirt with some colored girls who were passing. This was resented by their escorts and a fight ensued. The explanation given by the arrested men at the police station is alleged to have been that they were recently from the South, and that their conduct would have been permitted in any southern locality. Supreme Court May Halt Electrocution KNONVILLE. TENN. Oct. 6.—When the Supreme Court of Tennessee opens sessions this morning, one of the first cases on the docket to be tried will be the case of the People vs. Maurice Mayes, colored. Mayes was convicted of the murder of Mrs. Bertie Lindsay, white, and condemned to die in the electric chair at Nashville. According to the sentence, Mayes would have died in the electric chair several months ago, but his execution was stayed automatically, due to his appeal to the higher court. Believed To Be Innocent In view of the fact that since Mrs. Lindsay was murdered, several other murders have been committed in precisely the same manner, it is believed that the murderer of Mrs. Lindsay is still at large, and that Mayes is innocent. BANKERS BACK MANN'S HOUSING PLAN BANKERS BACK MANN'S HOUSING PLAN The case of Mrs. Casey Sneed, 3335 So. Park Ave., finally terminated in the Municipal Court presided over by Judge Hosea W. Wells late last week. Mrs. Sneed, in the first instance was arrested by a squad of police headed by Lieut. Paul Duffy and Sgt. Fitzgerald of the 3rd Precinct without any warrant several months ago. From her attorney, Richard E. Westbrook, it was charged that the invasion of her apartment by the officers of the law was not due to the fact that she was violating any law, but because she saw a woman there whom they thought was white. In this case, which was heard before Judge Rooney, it was discharged. It was then that the police officers in question sought to apply the Abatement Act, which was sued out before Judge Wells, endeavoring to force her to vacate the premises. The court heard all the testimony and ruled with the defendant. It appears that the activities on the part of the police was due solely to the appearance of a sick woman whom Mrs. Casey had befriended and who was of a very light complexion. Eugene F. Manns, of 5003 State St., Chicago, a colored real estate expert, has by means not ordinarily used by business men of his kind been successful in relieving the housing tension and congested living conditions among colored people of Chicago. Mr. Manns, a quiet unassuming kind of a fellow with few words, whose hair is streaked with grey, has by his own untiring efforts secured nine apartment buildings, two hundred and fifty-two flats after housing commissions, government experts and real estate boards had failed in this task. UNSANITARY CONDITIONS MOVE MANNS Because of the unsanitary conditions among colored people in Chicago, who have been crowded into such close quarters that vermin, contagion and disease threatened the vitals of the whole city, Mr. Manns for six months used all available means to relieve the situation. His first plan was a gigantic apartment building under the first mortgage system. Failing to get the co-operation of the prominent citizens of his race, he immediately took the housing problems as it exists in cold blood to the white financiers of the city and explained to them the inherent dangers involved in the conditions among colored people. So firm and insistent he in his demands that he was able to convince these men that the health of the community outweighed the private whims of those who would have Negroz live in confined sections. Through the Parted 60 Years, Ex-Slaves Meet WAYNESBORO, PA., Oct. 6—In slavery-time days before the civil war, George Simmons and Edward Simmons, brothers, were the property of the same slave owner on a plantation in Virginia. They left the home of their master, Edward, the elder, going into the army, and George following civil pursuits. Thus they became separated, lost each other and never remet until the other day here. The meeting was brought about when a lady of Greencastle, Pa., met the daughter of Edward Simmons and noticing her embalance to George Simmons, asked her if she were a relative. Investigation revealed the fact that she was, and the reunion was effected. Police Murder Whitewashed, Is Claimed Charged that Picked Jury Exonerated Policeman Who Killed Man in Cold Blood. The carefully picked Coroner's Jury which continued the case of the shooting of Oscar Brown of Indiana Harbor, Ind., Monday September 20th, in a clothing store at 3322 State St., Chicago, reconvened Friday last at the Cottage Grove Ave. Police Station and under questionable influences exonerated Policeman John Shannon, white. Notwithstanding the application of whitewash applied by the jurors to Policeman Shannon, the case will be taken before the Grand Jury further investigation. The shooting was nothing more or less than a cold-blooded murder, either deliberately intended or out of unnecessary fear. Oscar Brown had committed no offense and was said to have been shot while he held his hands in the air. L. Wolen, white, owner of the store, has admitted that his testimony was guided by police instructions. influence of these men, long time leases were secured by Mr. Manns on some of the most valuable and choice residential properties in the city. NEW YORK WIRES MANNS. The real estate experts of New York, who have been confronted with a more acute and an equally difficult problem sent telegrams to Eugene F. Manns asking him to immediately "Come over to Macedonia and help them". The Chicago Whip reporter, after investigating the housing proposition in New York found that 200,000 Negroes were locked in a confined acreage of less than one half square mile in Harlem and after taking these issues up with Mr. Manns, asked him what could be done. His nonchalant answer was, "My first duty is in Chicago". It is extremely interesting to note that Doubting Thomases and cynics among Mr. Manns' own people have stated that he will fail, but the signed leases and the correspondence, bearing the signatures of those men who control most of Chicago's wealth has convinced those who are opened to conviction that a colored man single-handed has done more to relieve the housing tension than all community uplift societies and blind real estate theorists together. MANNS SAYS NOTHING When the reporters of the daily newspapers sought to interview Mr. Manns, he said that he had nothing for publication, but his work would bear mute witness to his plans and methods. American Legion Men Turn Lynchers JONESBORO, TENN, Oct. 6.—A mob of fifty men said to be members of the American Legion and inmates of the government sanitarium at Johnson City, were foiled in their attempt from lynching William Dallas, colored, on last Friday night by the county sheriff. From information obtained Dallas was said to have been seen talking with a white waitress at the government institution. This was sufficient in itself to send out the alarm that he had attacked a white woman. The men who incited the disturbance were wounded ex-soldiers who had served in France and were convalescing at the sanitarium. 5 CENTS PAY NO MORE BULLETIN Leavenworth, Kas., Oct. 5. — (Special.) — A race riot between 300 white and colored soldiers in which two white soldiers and one colored soldier were injured severely occurred here last night. At the army hospital today it was said none of the men were dangerously injured. There will be an inquiry. EIGHT PAGES D BET "Other TAKE MILKMAN ON CHARGE OF ASSAULT Englewood Woman Assailed by White Milkman; Assail-Captured; To be held to Grand Jury Louis Shorndorf (white), driver of wagon 717 of the Bowman Dairy Co. residing at 3720 W. 63rd St. was arrested Monday on a John Doe warrant for attempted rape of Mrs. Blanche Purdy, 6345 Eberhardt Ave. It is alleged that while Mrs. Purdy was returning from the grocery store at 64th St. near Eberhardt Ave., about 9:00 a. m., on Sept. 22, she was accosted by Shorndorf who jumped from his milk wagon and seized her and dragged her into an alley. Assailant Escapes Unidentified firm of Ellis & Westbrook, 3000 S. State St., Shorndorf was arrested and positively identified by Mrs. Purdy when brought to her home by Officer A. A. Weber of the Grand Crossing Station. The attorney was assisted in the apprehension of Shorndorf by the officials of the Bowman Dairy Co., who stated that they would use every means possible in the prosecution of the culprit. Victim Delirious For the several days after the assault Mrs. Purdy was seriously ill and for periods delirious, requiring the attention of two physicians. The Purdy family enjoys the highest confidence and respect of the community, and have the moral support of all who know them. Case Continued At the preliminary hearing of the case at the Grand Crossing branch of the Municipal Court, Shorndorf's case was continued until Oct. 6, at which time it will be urged that he be held to the grand jury. 3 KILLED IN GAMBLING BRAWL INDIANA HARBOR, IND., Oct. 6—Willie Moore and Archie Higgins, both of Chicago, and one other colored man, as yet unidentified, were shot to death in the Last Chance Saloon and Jambling House here, late Friday night. From meager information at can be obtained, the fight took place after the colored men had won all the money in the game, and were on the point of leaving the place. Six white men were arrested as a result of the triple murder, who, at the preliminary examination, swore that the colored men had attempted to hold-up the saloon. There were no reliable witnesses to the affair and the defendants were exonerated by the coroner's jury. It is claimed by those who have some knowledge of the affair that the location of the wounds in the bodies of the men were of such a nature as to have made it impossible for them to have been shot attempting to commit a holdup. Boston Cop Wins Sprint BOSTON, MASS, Oct. 6.—Calling into play the athletic training he had received at Boston English high school and Exeter Academy track team, Policeman Irving T. Hough, attached to the Roxbury Crossing Police Station here, engaged an automobile containing 60 quarts of liquor in a road race, ran it down and came off victor. The race took place in the vicinity of Hammond St. and Shawmut Ave., Roxbury.

Mrs. Bell, who is said to be dying at the Provident Hospital, was stabbed in the jugular vein, while her husband was lashed several times on the wrist, face and arms.

Whitlow, age 35, 567 East 35th St., tataly stabbed Mrs. Roy Bell, 3810 Elm- wood Ave., and at the same time wet his knife with damaging effect upon her husband, Roy Bell, Mrs. Bell, who is said to be dying at the Provident Hospital, was stabbed in the jugular vein, while her husband was lashed several times on the wrist, face and arms. residence it is Roy Bell said that the tragedy was the culmination of the same old story—unfaithfulness and disloyalty to the marriage vow, and that the association between Mrs. Bell and Whitlow resulted partly from inattention on the part of Mrs. Bell's husband. Stories of Tragedy Differ Stories of Tragedy Dinner Witnesses differ in their version as to the cause of the immediate results, some claiming that Mr. and Mrs. Bell visited the home of Whitlow Monday night together. Others contend that the trouble began when Roy Bell found his wife in Whitlow's room. It has also been learned that Bell and his wife were not living together and at the time of the tragedy were living apart. It was said by one of Mrs. Bell's friends that Whitlow had been the cause of their separation and much of their domestic trouble. Bell Said to "Love the Ladies" Roy Bell was also charged by his friends with being somewhat void of the fidelity which should characterize a man's feelings toward his wife. They hint that he was quite a favorite among the ladies, whose names were handed to the reporter. Did Old Love Return? It is alleged from one source that Mrs. Bell was wounded when she attempted to prevent Whitlow from stabbing her husband. This could not be verified owing to the numerous rumors circulating concerning the tragedy. Whitlow was taken in custody by the Cottage Grove police. Oaklahoma Lawyer Sailed For Swindling MUSKOGEE, OKLA., Oct. 6.—C. T. Burns, a white lawyer of this city was last week sentenced to the federal penitentiary on charges of having swindled colored people of this district out of thousands of dollars. Howard Banks, colored, was sentenced at the same time as having conspired with Burns to defraud his own people. Burns and Banks, in addition to receiving sentences of fourteen months in the pen, also drew fines of $500 each. (Special.) — A race riot between 300 at two white soldiers and one colored red here last night. At the army hosmen were dangerously injured. There UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP Tom Watson, commonly known as the Georgia "Bad Boy" won his seat in the United States senate not because of his opposition to the League of Nations but because of his prejudicial attitude to the Negro, claiming in his campaign that if elected to the U. S. senate that he would use all of his power to force all colored people back on the farm or in the kitchen regardless of profession or attainments. This is to be expected of a person who appears in his nightshirt on the balcony of a prominent hotel. Col. House, the Confidential Advisor to His Excellency, Woodrow Wilson, the President, is alleged to have distributed money to the extent of five and a half million in Europe among the poor and thus facilitated their immigration to the United States. This will result in the disturbing of labor conditions and maybe the President knows about it. Charity begins at home and Labor could use that amount of money at home to very good advantage. The colored man who was a candidate for Judge of the municipal court in Chicago has been counted out. This comes as no surprise to us, the wonder is that he was not counted out of the race before he started. That is the penalty of being a black man and the result of the crooked political system which knows no virtue. Only money and graft. The rent profiteers are still waxing fat off the helpless poor people who are compelled to rent their homes and flats. These are the cruelest thieves of them all. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is involved in a dispute with Marcus Garvey, President of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The N. A. A. C. P. refused to recognize this organization until they were forced to and they will be forced to recognize an entirely different propaganda from the despicable "Closed Ranks" philosophy. Women have been granted the ballot in Illinois. This naturally includes colored women since Illinois is above the Mason-Dixon line. We would imagine that all of the colored women in this favored land would take advantage of this splendid opportunity to become a part of the great system of government which heretofore they have been denied. The registration booths were very much devoid of colored women on registration night but to the contrary, the cabarets and the dance halls were filled to the overflow. "Oh judgment, thou hast flown to brutish beasts." 4 TO THE YOU KNOW 'EM EDITOR You know those ladies who reside in that big flat building on Prairie Ave. near 31st St. I know you know 'em because some of them are frequently seen in their boudou caps, house slippers and aprons around the corner in the grocery store. Well, since you know 'em you tell 'em there is a nice little grocery store run by members of our race on 31st near Indiana and the clerks in this store will not get familiar with them by putting them and feeling their arms. But that may be the cause for their failure to go to this colored store. Some people do like white men to make a fuss over them, and others really like them to get familiar even in public. You know that drug store at 31st and Indiana Ave, that used to be owned by Goss, Well, when Goss was there, he had members of our race as clerks and druggists. The new management has seen fit to exclude that policy. Of course some of our people will not notice this and will still go there. You know that fellow, riding around in that brand new two seated tin Lizzie with license number 492564, flirting with and insulting every desirable lady he sees on the streets. I know you know him because he has probably flirted with the lady you were with. Well, the next time you see him at that stunt, tell him that some able-bodied man will break his neck. Then there are some wild husbands who might object. I know you know that nice looking lady on Vernon Ave. who recently married again after being divorced from her first husband. I know you know her. Well, tell her to watch her step because she is up to her old tricks again. Those tricks got her in trouble with her first husband. You know Mrs. W, S. Well, she wrote the You Know 'Em Editor and gave the numbers of those flats that are so terrible in Indiana Ave. between 36th and 39th Sts, and gave the names of the ladies who run them. We regret that the contents of her letter was of such a nature that we could not publish it. The You Know 'Em Editor has, however, forwarded a copy of her letter to the chief of police, asking that some action be taken with reference to these polite parlers of questionable enjoyment. You know that merchant on State St. near 35th St. who runs a big catering establishment. I know you know him because he has gotten rich selling odds and ends for first class goods to colored people. Well, he says that he can do this with impunity because colored people do not read. Well, tell him that if they do not read they can certainly hear and the "Grape Vine" is still working and that is quicker and more effective. And the word has been passed.

Dept. 404 CHICAGO PEOPLE IN THE PUBLIC EYE The Hon. P. H. Nash, member of the Board of Review, resident of the Fourteenth ward, is one man high in the counsel of the Democratic party whose attitude on public affairs has always run true to the spirit of all men up and not some men down. Mr. Nash as a public official has done many things for the benefit of our people of which little has been said in the press. He is at present an ardent backer and supporter of the candidacy of Pat Carr - Democratic candidate for Trustee of the Sanitary District and as a result of his support, Mr. Carr is likely to get thousands of colored votes which would otherwise go in other directions. In the disposition of certain people to wreck the Republican party in Illinois it is advisable for colored people to pick out some friends in the Democratic party and support them in order that they may have some friends at court after November the second. Assistant State's Atty, Aven B. Scolnick of Maclay Hoyne's staff has proven himself a worthy public servant and deserves the commendation of all the people, regardless of their racial identity. As a public official he has endeavored to use his influence and his office in the interests of the taxpayers instead of the privileged few. The course of his star points higher and better things. Charles T. Sherlock, 20 East 21st St, who happens to reside in a flat once occupied by Mayor William Hale Thompson, is fastly recovering from his indisposition which has caused him considerable annoyance for the past several weeks. His recovery was largely due to the excellent care he received at the hands of his wife, daughter and son. The attitude of the family towards the head of the house was a clear exemplification of the strong family ties of the household.

THE CHICAGO WHIP CITY I Hazel Cuts George George Gilbert, age 19, 3130 Ellis Ave., sustained a cut which, required ten stitches September 27th, while in an argument with a girl named Hazel, 3413 Wabash Ave. Jealousy was alleged the cause while Hazel sought to carve George. Shot In Stomach James Berry, age 39, 3041 Ellis Ave., while in front of 3931 Wabash Ave., was struck by a stray bullet fired by an unknown person. The bullet passed through the lower part of the stomach causing instant death. Wife Shoots Husband When argument in reason failed in the home of the Jones', 3731 Federal St. Mrs. Mabel Jones turned the gun on her husband and sought to impress him in a more effective manner. As a result, William Jones is in the hospital and the wife being detained by the police, charged with assault with a deadly weapon. Aged Man Found Dead Abraham H. Brown, age 70, 3615 Forest Ave., was found dead September 30th, with a gun shot wound in his back, in front of 3629 Forest Ave. The police have been unable to determine the cause of the homicide. Auto Fractures Skull Howard Ford, age 63, 2813 Prairie Ave., while crossing the street nearing his home was struck by an auto owned by James Heyman, white, 3735 Lake Park Ave., sustaining a fracture in the skull and other injuries in the body. Stray Bullet Strikes Visitor William Coleman, age 65, 550 Wabash St, St. Paul, Minn., was struck by a stray bullet, October 3rd, while conversing with a friend at 29th and State Sts. The bullet which was fired by an unknown man made a severe scalp wound. Coleman was removed to the Providence Hospital. Williams and Page In Knife Duel James Williams, age 40, 3650 Dearborn St., and William H. Page, age 37, 43 East 49th St., while at 37th and Dearborn Sts., Sunday night, attempted to settle a dispute in a knife duel. As a result they both were taken to the Providence Hospital for surgical treatment and the latter removed to Cottage Grove Ave. Police Station. Woodlawn Community Assn. In Vote Drive Since women have been granted universal suffrage, the Woodlawn Community Assn. has taken upon itself to enroll every woman in Woodlawn in a broad, community-wide movement. The association has established an open forum where discussions will be held touching every phase of civic and social betterment. One of the aims of the association is to make a voter out of every colored woman in Woodlawn. Until larger and more commodious quarters can be found, the present headquar- UNCLE "EPH". Uncle Eph says a brand new set of pickpockets have arrived in town and are operating without hindrance from the old birds who have been on the job for years. It is said that they have organized an institution known as The Pickpockets' Association. The stock in this organization, which will soon be incorporated, is said to be held largely by certain police officers who have to do with the distribution of the localities in which these fellows are operating. One member of the association was "knocked off" last Friday night by the law and to use his statement it was due to the fact that he had begun his work before his friends had time to register his name with the association. As a result, he was fined $25 and costs but another pal of his got away. The boys say that there is nothing like having friends "in court." The profession of picking pockets on State 31st and 35th St. care during the evening has become so profitable and with such scant risk of becoming involved with the law that the Bandits' Association have decided to apply for a Pickpocket's charter and enter into a profession which seemingly carries with it a large amount of protection and immunity. Chicago was never so full of the light finger gentry as it is today and these men operate with a boldness that indicates that they have a working agreement with someone who is in position to give the word.

NOSEY is making a very good attempt to get home before 12 o'clock the other morning and had made one of those short cuts thru the alley between the streets. He heard the seramble of feet and mumble of voices ahead of him and halted fearing the ever present hold-up man. But no, it was only the better half of a family moving under the cover of darkness from the second story of an apartment building that faces on Grand Blvd, in the 35th block. The gentleman had departed rather hastily from appearance and stood shivering in the cold in his B. V. D.'s while the other "half" of the family threw out his coat and trousers. These landlords may be fierce but there are others that are a little worse. ON CERTAIN occasions, certain hotel proprietors have been detected "listening in" on the switchboard to telephone messages passing between and the outside. This practice is not only highly improper but smacks of a desire to interfere with other people's social intercourse or to be able to discuss other people's business and social affairs. Such conduct is reprehensible to say the least and sometime or other the good proprietors will get an earful about themselves and their hotels. SOME fine people who were doing what they are pleased to call "slumming" came near having heart failure when they were in a cabaret last Saturday night. A waiter saw fit to hit a patron over the head with a "near beer" bottle for some remark he made. Due to the lack of "exits" the refined society people had to witness the fight in all its disgusting aspects. Nosey saw that they feared that there would be a "pinch" and they were busy thinking up names to give so that their identity would not be known. When the disturbance was over the "slummers" slinked out and they will think again when they want to see the sights and the doctors who escort these visiting ladies will inform them that they are not going to a pink tea when they go "slumming." EFFICIENT and competent legal talent proved the savior of the day on Wednesday morning in the morals court when the brilliant young attorney succeeded in convincing the judge in the Morals Court, but not Nosey himself, that the "society girls" caught in the recent raids on houses of immorality were there only to study the social conditions rather than as participants of the "joy flats" themselves. Well, the girls got away with it and didn't even have to give their right names, but Nosey got their right names and their correct addresses. From now on, girls, watch your step and when you want to "slum" do it with men of your own race. YES, the cold weather was here. Nosey could not sleep because his false teeth were chattering in the glass of water where he keeps them every night. But, when the sun broke, Nosey adjusted his teeth, sharpened his protruding nose and peaked peek-a-boo all day long. He peeked into many pawn shops and saw those butterflies who had danced all summer pawning their perfectly good summer apparel in order to get the old overcoat back into gear. Nosey saw many others making their way to the stock yards and making applications for position in the boiler rooms. Cold weather brings great changes.

Hyde Park Owners Active Again The appearance of flaring signs in flat windows in Kenwood appealing for members to join the Grand Blvd. District of the Kenwood and Hyde Park Property Owners' Assn. testifies to the fact that this organization is becoming active again. The signs appeared Sunday and Monday and are to be seen chiefly from 43rd to 47th Sts., and between Indiana Ave. and Cottage Grove Ave. The wise ones are looking for another bomb soon. Neighborhood Dealers In Exposition The Neighborhood Dealers Assn. consisting of all merchants in the Second Ward, is conducting an exposition and jubilee to last one week. This exposition is expected to become a permanent affair and is conducted to promote business activity, pride, and harmony. The exposition includes a parade, a grand reception at Unity Hall, and a music festival at the same place. The music festival is held Tuesday evening, October 5. On Thursday evening, October 7, a grand mass- meeting of all the merchants of the ward is to be held. Speakers for the occasion are announced as Mayor Thompson, Judge Stelk, Jesse Binga, and Harvey B. Saunders. Night Watchman Drops Dead Robert Bakeman, age 48, 3417 South Park Ave., dropped dead at his home Tuesday afternoon. Bateman for several years has been employed as a night watchman at the Harmonia Hotel, 30th and Indiana Ave. Physicians attribute his death to heart failure. Fund to Liberate Soldiers Atty, W. W. Bell, Leavenworth, Kansas, appeared before the People's Movement, 3140 Indiana Ave., on Sunday afternoon in an earnest appeal for funds to be used in the defense of the 41 convicted soldiers of the 24th Infantry who are now in prison at Leavenworth, Kansas. Attorney Bell stated that the printing of the record necessary for a review of the case by a higher court would require an expenditure of nearly $9,000. These funds can only be raised through the medium of those that believe in fair play and justice. So far, $1,300 have been raised. Two hundred and twenty-five dollars were received from Nick Childs of Topeka, Kan., who, it will be remembered some years ago was alleged to have collected considerable money for this purpose. On a State St. car on Friday afternoon between two and three, the car going south, a slender gentleman of brown complexion, clean face, wearing a dark suit, white shirt, striped collar without tie was as busy going thru people's pockets as could be. Uncle Eph e rode four blocks past the corner at which he was to get off trying to see the police, but none could be seen and finally Uncle Eph was compelled to leave the car, leaving the slender gentleman still plying his trade. It would be a good idea for the department of police to organize a pickpocket squad and have them ride these cars during the afternoon. Some of the danger could be possibly eradicated. It has been clearly demonstrated that the pickpockets have no fear of the present police assigned to the work because they claim that these police hold the majority of the stock in their corporation. It would be a capital idea for the commanding officer to make some changes in the routine work of certain policemen in order that the tax payers may get some benefit through the medium service supposed to be rendered by the minions of the law. We hope that it will not be necessary to be ary more pointed in our remarks with reference to this organization of pickpockets and thieves who are reaping their golden harvest at the expense of respectable and unsuspecting people of the community, but if necessary we can strike from the shoulder, give names of pickpockets and thieves who are not only working together but are distributing their ill-gotten gains for police protection.

DAVE PEYTON Composer, Musician, Critic Vaudeville and Movie Review. The Grand "Town Top-Piks" On Its Last Week "Town Top-pikes" as it is called, plays its last show on next Sunday, Oct. 10th. Beginning Monday, Oct. 11, "From Beale St. to Broadway" will be the offering with Gulfport and Brown and Gertrude Saunders and a few new artists. Town Top-pikes has made good, yes, over made good, as something has been offered in this show, in a novel way, that no other negro organization has ever attempted. There is no tiring plot to harass one, as a certain writer has said, the show was plotless and that it was worthless, but on reviewing every loop show this season, I found that all are built on the same style as "Town Top-pikes," humorous situations and plenty of music with novelties. "From Beale St. to Broadway" is a much better vehicle than Town Top-pikes and the musical numbers are a knockout, judging from the rehearsal that I witnessed this week. THE AVENUE George Broadhurst's sensational drama opened here on last Sunday, Oct. 3rd, and soon had the audience warmed up for the drama. $^3$ The story is one full of thrills and holds one tightly in his seat till the finish. Joshua Quincy, a wealthy town-sr, is disliked by his fellow people or his selfishness and grudgery. An old college professor entrusts his life's earnings to Quincy for investment in an orange grove. This investment fell thru and Quincy notified the old professor of its failure. The old professor, pennille, pleads to Quincy for a loan and is refused, so a few days later Quincy mails a check to the professor for $12,000, explaining that it was the balance due him. The old professor now up against it, raised the check to $12,000,00 and cashed it. Quincy finding it out calls him in and hence the sensational murder. $^3$ Several were under suspicion and no one thought of the old professor as a murderer and it is thru this part of the drama that it is hair raising. THE MONOGRAM Trixie Smith, a real single; The McCarvers, a big time act and Skimney's Jazz Band, compose the bill at Miller's little Majestic this week.

Burst of applause followed burst of applause spontaneously as old favorites followed each other on the stage at the Avenue in the opening of the "Crimson Alibi" by the LaFayette Players this week. Shelton Brooks drew big crowds with his six weeks of musical comedy, but from the attitude of the first-nighters, it seemed that the Avenue is dedicated to the drama, for the present, at least. The "Crimson Aliibi," as its name implies, is a murder mystery story in which three different chains of circumstantial evidence wind about three different individuals, each chain strong enough in itself to convict any one or all three of the suspects for the crime. A rich and much hated tyrant has been murdered. He had quarreled with his nephew over his sweetheart. He had also quarreled with his butler. He had railroaded to jail the sweetheart of his maid, who had escaped from jaffa only a few days before the murder, and was present in the house at the time of the murder. Each of the three had sufficient motive to commit the crime, and each was present in the house at the time of the crime. Yet neither, had in reality, committed it. Who murdered Joshua Quincy? This was the problem given to ere dilettante detective to solve. I the aggregation which has played havoc with the diamond aspirations of every colored club in the South.

Big Taylor then mounted the slab for the Giants and held the big fellows in leash, aiding in the victory by a slashing drive which scored two runs.

Bishop's voice and physique fit him admirably for a leading man. When he speaks he is heard and every one in the audience takes notice. He was heartily welcomed on his return to the Avenue, and will always be one of the biggest drawing cards of the Lafayette Players.

FUND to Liberate Soldiers Atty. W. W. Bell, Leavenworth, Kansas, appeared before the People's Movement, 3140 Indiana Ave., on Sunday afternoon in an earnest appeal for funds to be used in the defense of the 41 convicted soldiers of the 24th Infantry who are now in prison at Leavenworth, Kansas. Attorney Bell stated that the printing of the record necessary for a review of the case by a higher court would require an expenditure of nearly $9,000. These funds can only be raised through the medium of those that believe in fair play and justice. So far, $1,300 have been raised. Two hundred and twenty-five dollars were received from Jack Childs of Topeka, Kan., who it will be remembered some years ago was alleged to have collected considerable money for this purpose. Col. R.

Age limits THE WORLD OF SPORTS BASEBALL AND GAMBLING By DAVE WYATT Some of the head men of baseball have been lying awake o' nights trying to figure out a plan by means of which betting on baseball games may be stopped. So far, they have not been remarkably successful They realize the head men of baseball have been lying awake o' nights trying to figure out a plan by means of which betting on baseball games may be stopped. So far, they have not been remarkably successful. They realize the danger, but do not know how to stop it. Advocates of betting will have a hard time convincing managers that their ideas are tenable. They know that betting is pernicious in many ways and they would give much to stop it. Personally, we don't see how they can do anything substantial. They can cause the papers to print their urgent requests to the public not to bet and they can do something in the way of police regulation in their grounds to prevent it, but if people want to bet they will find a way, unless some concerted action is taken all over the country to stop it. This general action must be both moral and legal. The view of the people as to betting must be changed and laws must be passed prohibiting it. Some states have already taken steps in the right direction. They have enacted a law prohibiting a person, directly or indirectly, to make a pool, wager or bet upon a football or baseball game, or any element thereof, on fine of pain for first offense and fine and imprisonment for others. If laws like that were enacted in all states, it would have a deterrent effect on a great many now included in bet on football and baseball. Attention be called to a device installed at all big league parks by which the operator in charge of the electric score board keeps in touch with the official scorer and whenever there is a question raised as to whether a player makes a hit or a catch an error the official scorer settles the argument. If a baited ball goes as a hit, a big letter H is flashed up in plain view of the crowd. It in the scorer's judgment an error should be charged, the letter H is charged. It is true that sometimes the faus are in doubt as to whether a batsman has been eroded with a hit or not, but as a general thing each spectator settles that matter in his own mind and does not care a great deal at the time what the official scorer has to say about it. As a matter of fact, the device is of great benefit only to the gambler—the petty bet makers who wager anywhere from two bits to a dollar that this or that player singles. To a certain extent the average ball player has been made selfish by conditions.

Either that or clean sports will be a thing of the past before many years elapse. A BIG GAME SUNDAY Schorling Park will be the scene of one of the most important baseball battles Sunday when Green's Chicago Giants go to bat with Oak Parks of the Chicago League. The suburban team is led by Frank McNichlos, for years one of the front runners in semi-pro baseball affairs, and himself a former big leaguer, the fellow who created a sensation in the memorable All-Star Leland Giant series of some years ago. McNichlos is now a state representative in the Illinois assembly, but has found time to gather one of the strongest baseball machines that cavort around these parts. They have downed all the clubs in their own circuit and come to the South Side in quest of new fields to conquer. If the present form that the Chicago Giants are flashing is a criterion upon which to judge, then the leaguers will meet a worthy foe. Green's bunch have won the last six contests engaged in and it will take a team packing a kick to stop the South States street pastimers. Duncan, the young lad who is doing the receiving for the Giants, has won a place in the heart of the Schorling Park fans, his work being up to the standard of any receiving, hitting and throwing, seen on the South Side this or any other season. Beckwith is another lad who is cavorting around the short field in a manner that has caused the wise ones to wake up to the possibilities of the Green bunch as a team equal to any seen here, with a future that looms up brighter than any on the new colored circuit, Taylor, the pitcher, who has won the last two Sunday contests, and who has all season been regarded as one of the stars among circuit pitches, will be opposed Sunday by a real veteran big league pitcher. Long Tom Hughes, formerly sensational Washington and New York hurler, but recently out of the Texas league, will essay to stop the Giants. The Long fellow will be backed up by the pick of such big league talent as is available around Chicago, and as the Giants are now going as good as any team in the country, fielding beautifully, team work co-operating fine and batting in savage fashion, no doubt whatever exists; those qualities, with the prestige of the Oak Parks as a playing machine, is bona-fide assurance that the South Side fans will yet be in for a real baseball show, and Sunday will be the big card. PARLOR, BED-ROOM AND BATH AT AVE. NEXT WEEK "Parlor, Bedroom and Bath," which is the attraction that comes to the Avenue next week is the same attraction that played so successfully last season on the road with Florence Moore as the star, and which provoked theatergoers to merriment from coast to and in between. It is to be produced at the popular Indiana Avenue home of the Lafayette Players by the present aggregation of artists now sojourning in Chicago, and is sure to prove an interesting bill. The story of the play centers about a young husband, of the meek and humble variety, one who acts as if his verbs were filled with milk instead of rich red blood, but whom his wife believes to be a devil with the ladies, and consequently friend husband is forced to play up to the role which has been forced upon him. The fun of the play is derived from the ludicrous situations which occur when this meek and humble husband starts out to be a ladies' man, and the farther away from his home training friend husband gets the more indicuous becomes the humor. Miss Desmond, as Polly Hathaway, a writer for "Social Gossip," is one of the riotous characters in the play, and Andrew Bishop, as the husband with a past, and Evelyn Preer, as his wife, form a nirthful trio which will make you rock in your seat with merriment. Each of the members of the company will be seen to good advantage in this splendid vehicle which will be at the Avenue the week beginning Sunday matinee, October 10th, and it's guaranteed as a sure cure for even incurable blues.

Oct. 5—Rube Foster's Giants added another victim to the many Southern baseball clubs that have endeavored to wrest the fifty playing harels from the strong Northern aggregation, when they clearly outplayed Perdue's local Black Barons out at Rickwood Field Monday afternoon. At no stage of the game did the wrecking crew from the Windy City have any trouble with their less experienced opponents. They hit the ball at will and ran bases as though they were unopposed on the paths. Roderiz, the Cuban pitching wonder, proved easy pickings for the Chicago batsmen and was relieved in the fourth inning by Juvenello, who fared little better. The game was marred by wrangling and "near fights." Several times during the contest police and plain clothes men were called to restore peace. These disturbances were caused by the players becoming some what "rough" in making a putout or stealing bases. The final score was 10 to 2, and from the box score, showing the wildness with which the visitors ran bases they could easily have doubled the count if they had played a conservative and waiting game. The second contest of the series will be played today. Roderiz has requested to be assigned to slab duty as he firmly believes he can conquer the aggregation which has played havoc with the diamond aspirations of every colored club in the South.

Sunday morning when a disturbance between colored and white passengers aboard a Jackson Ave. car No. 126, Charles R. Clark (white) was shot in the chin. Forbearance of the colored people in this city, causes lesser occurrences of this kind on the street cars, many times colored people have been forced to give up their Jim Crow seats and the screen moved back by some bulldozing white man or the conductor, while the police look on and grin, this could have been the cause of this trouble, since the police claim to be unable to find out who was the aggressor. It was on the above mentioned date that Wagner the Tailor, 613 South Rampart St., put himself on record as the stingy demon of the universe. There is an odd saying, "the truth kills," if this is so then Wagner must die. It happened like this, a lady auxiliary of the Young Men's Christian Association was instructed by a captain of the Y, campaign to call on Mr. Wagner for a contribution as he had already wrote him asking for same. The lady called as she was instructed to do, Wagner was busy at the time she called and told her to wait a moment, which she did. When he had finished serving his customer he came over to see what she wanted. She presented her credentials and told him that she had been instructed by her captain to call on him for a contribution. This seemed to anger Wagner, he thrust his hand in his pocket and gave five cents. Now can you beat it? This old miser has catered to our peoplies' trade for the last 40 years and has made a fortune by so doing, he has ascended the ladder of success by preying upon his traftals of our people. Have high, let this be a lesson, let what he has done skim deep into your hearts it will bear fruit for future generations.

Some of you had never been to the city before the magnetic power of this miser's goods brought you here. This old boy thinks of you in the same terms today as he did then, his ideals have not grown with his wealth. He is like Baal, has eyes but cannot see, ears but cannot hear, you should watch your step in the step. Four Jamaican stowaways discovered on board the S. S.

The South Side Theater Managers Association, representing the above theaters, have conferred with a committee from the Union and offered TO MEET THEM HALF WAY BY GRANTING THEM AN INCREASE OF 20 PER CENT. The South Side Theater Managers Association does not feel warranted in granting an increase of more than 20 Per Cent because, to do so IT WOULD BE NECESSARY TO RAISE THE PRICE OF ADMISSION IN ALL THESE HOUSES and the Managers DO NOT FEEL JUSTIFIED in asking the Public who have loyally supported these theaters in the past TO PAY AN INCREASE IN THE PRICE OF ADMISSION. The Musicians in the theaters at the present time are receiving from $30 to $33 per man for from 27 to 33 hours work a week, and the leaders of the Orchestras are receiving as high as $65 per week. The Managers of the various theaters will endeavor to add additional features to their programs to take the place of the music in case the musicians decide to walk out, which they hav signified their intentions of doing. The co-operation of the Public is earnestly solicited by the Managers in their effort to protect their patrons against an increase in the cost of entertainment. JUDGE HOLMES WINS 393 LPEV In the final count of the votes cast in the recent primary, it has been shown that judge George P. Holmes received 1,900 votes more than James A. Scott, our candidate on the ticket. This tabulation bore the earmarks of being correct and has received the O. K. of the friends and backers of Attorney Scott. Scott's failure to receive the nomination was due to the lack of interest manifested by his own race rather than the lack of interest by other racial groups. If the voters in his own ward had given him the same support for judge that they gave Len THE GRAND THEATRE 31st and State Streets THE VENDOME THEATRE 31st and State Streets THE AVENUE THEATRE 31st and Indiana Ave. Small for governor, he would have been three thousand votes ahead of Judge Holmes. Wright's Statement At the People's Movement on Sunday afternoon, Edward H. Wright, Thompson Committeeman of the Second Ward made a statement to the effect that Attorney Scott had received a square deal and that his defeat was due to the inactivity on the part of the members of his own race in that he did not receive the loyal support that he should have received at their hands. Judge George B. Holmes had no part in the proceedings which resulted in his being made the successful nominee instead of Scott. It is rather a known fact that he had satisfied himself with the belief that Scott was the rightful nominee. The final tabulation returning him a winner was as much a surprise to him as it was a disappointment to Scott. Holmes a Fair Judge Judge Holmes has served two years on the Municipal Court bench, having first been elected to serve out an unexpired term. His judicial conduct has received the highest commendation of all racial groups and his disposition to be fair has met unstinted approval. If Scott was to lose the nomination, we can console ourselves in the fact that it was won by a man whose proven friendship has been tested. The fight of all good Republicans ends at the primaries. From that time they should be all for one and one for all.

The dip into the future by the Alarmists demand consideration and deliberation. Is it probable that those black men who so proudly beat step with marching feet to the soul-stirring strains of the "Stars and Stripes Forever" over in France in 1918, is it probable that those men are to line themselves in the ranks of the disheveled and starving and stand on dress parade stamping their freezing feet to the "Misere" of "God Give Us Bread?" The Bread Lines in America glutted with black men would be more than the "Irony of Fate." It would be the inevitable operation of natural laws. Some place it is stated in the Bible with the modesty of the Majesty of Truth and with the awful grandeur of that which belongs to the eternal! "Remember the Lillies of the Valley, They toil not, neither do they spin." In another place is a parable of the Foolish Virgins who failed to fill their lamps and were found wanting when the Bridegroom came. The expression of the one book reflects the irony of Truth. Fate plays no part. Science and religion both establish one principle and that is the weak die while the strong survive. If the Negro is thrown on the charity of the commonwealth in the near future, it will reveal the weakness of his group, and unless the group is strengthened, it must shrink, shrivel and become emaciated and eventually die. The Alarmists cry Bread Lines. If so, why? We know that the flood tides of immigration are bringing human driftwood in thousands of pieces to the American shores each week. We know that the driftwood will be used in the operation of industry. The WATC IN TH IN and is now being forced to make aict humanity.

Now when wager the immigrants, does the Bread- ing which is now unforeseen bed with black faces and the c black man will and is now being forced to make way for this foreign tide of derelict humanity.

Negroes have been able to avoid bread lines heretofore and only the paralytic, the afflicted and professional mendicants have been seen as public beggars. The black man have always managed to keep a little oil in their lamps. The shifting and changing state of Negro labor will not of itself play havoc with the group. Then the Alarmist must have had other causes in his mind. When the Colored American Soldiers returned from France they had very little trouble in securing profitable employment. They received and earned with their brothers who worked at home during the war fancy wages which overbalanced the high cost of living. This profit, this surplus, was flung to the four winds. Cabarets flourished, dance halls grew fertile, prohibited liquor traffic ran unchecked. Silk clothing and hitherto denied luxuries were purchased. The nights became spending orgies, the wee hours of morning revealed wrecks of many dollars and the pitiful ruin of energy. The black men were caught in this dragnet of extravagance and waste. They spent and spent and their daily toil did not reap sufficient means to spend and have concurrently. Now when wages decrease and are transferred to the immigrants, does the Bread Line stalk grave and sinister? Unless something which is now unforeseen arises, the Bread Line will be arrayed with black faces and the cry of the Alarmist rings true.

I have have a lease on a flat. The building has just been sold to another party. Can the new landlord put me out before my old lease is out? A. No. The building could only have been purchased from the original owner subject to the lease then to estates the same.

I fell off a street car three weeks ago, injured and my leg badly hurt. I was laid up in bed for two weeks. The company said anything. I howl. I can force them to settle. A. The question of the company's liability to you for this accident depends upon the manner in which the accident occurred. As a result, the accident damages to its passengers caused by the negligence of its employees or any operation of its cars. If your accident was caused by the company or its employees, you can recover in a suit against them. You should consult your lawyer stating to him fully how the accident occurred and let him advise you concerning it, saying that the clerk in his office to whom I paid the deposit has left and did not overpay the money. I get my money back? I have my receipt. A. If you paid the money to the real estate agent, clerk in his office and his clerk was authorized to issue immaterial so far as you are concerned whether the clerk turned the money in to the real estate agent, or not, or the office.

Californians Expect Labor Trouble STOCKTON, CAL., Oct. 6—In view of the fact that the Standard Lumber Co. of this city is importing hundreds of colored men to work in the lumber forests of this district, it is feared that race trouble will arise here. Much indignation has been aroused among the white laborers here, who feel that the importation of colored laborers is a usurpation of their means of livelihood. Some of the colored men have been employed as brakemen on the Sugar Pine Railroad, as a result of which, the white brakemen immediately struck. The colored brakemen were retained, however, notwithstanding When one of the new colored brakes men had his foot mashed and was taken to the Sierra Hospital for treatment some of the nurses protested caring for the injured employee, and threatened to strike. The officials of the company remained firm, however, and the injured employee was taken care of. It is not expected that the newly imported laborers will submit to any injustices without stiff resistance. CARELESS USE OF COSME-STICS IS DANGEROUS Many years ago women looked upon the use of toilet preparations as a luxury to be used by the wealthy and as a confession of super-vanity and they were used to no large degree. But today toilet articles are among the most rapid selling articles on the market and women have learned to look upon them as necessities more than as luxuries and to regard their use as aids to preserving their God-given beauty rather than as confessions of super vanity. With the increasing demand for preparations to preserve and enhance our natural charms have come many unscrupulous manufacturers who have entered the field purposely to play upon what they believe to be human weakness and feminine vanity and have placed upon the market preparations that have but little merit. In fact, very serious cases of skin eruption, enlarged and distorted pores, discolored pigment and even bloodpoisoning, have been known to result from the use of this class of preparation. The skin and scalp are among the most important parts of the body and should be treated with diligent care. Unfortunately, they are about the most neglected parts. It is only by constant care that one may hope to have a beautiful complexion, and only by selecting preparations of merit that one may hope to preserve that which nature has given us. In selecting preparations for the care and treatment of the skin and scalp the utmost precaution should be taken and only such preparations selected as will bear chemical analysis and that have a reputation for quality and effectiveness. For fifteen years Madam C. J. Walker's Superfine Preparations for the hair and skin have stood the most thorough examination and enjoyed a reputation for high quality and effectiveness and these preparations are safely recommended by men and women all over America and in 20 foreign countries as ranking high among the very best on the market. They are guaranteed by their manufacturers to produce no detrimental results and if used as directed will do all that is claimed. It is recommended that you use Madam C. J. Walker's Wonderful Hair Preparations for the hair and Madam C. J. Walker's Superfine Preparations for the skin. The nearest Madam C. J. Walker agent will be pleased to supply you or a very liberal trial treatment will be sent anywhere upon receipt of a dollar and a half. Address the Madam C. J. Walker Mig.
