Chicago Whip

UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP Constructive Criticism of Men and Measures, In the Hope of Correcting Errors and Evils. Entertainer Cafe AN EXACT REPRODUCTION OF A Venetian Garden REDECORATED and REMODELED SPECIAL VAUDEVILLE SHOW THOMPKIN'S SNAPPY NOVELTY BAND Feature: LEDMAN and ALICE RAMSEY 35th Street, Near Indiana Avenue The Black People in America are treated with utmost inconsideration and criminal disregard by the lying avaricious Uncle Toms who want to play big before white people. A lying idiotic individual who is a public nuisance and a private disgrace went down recently and represented to the Editor of the Chicago Journal that 70,000 Black men in Chicago were willing to accept a ten per cent reduction in wages rather than be cut off. This is a malicious lie. The public pest further represented that he was President of some "American Unity Laboring Association" and that over 100,000 Black men belonged to it. It puzzles us why the learned editors of the Journal would fall for that bunk. It is certainly preposterous and absurd to the average prudent citizen in Chicago. It would be another case of Tar and Feathers in a less civilized community. If the Editors of the papers published in the interest of black people in America would abolish the use of the term "Our Group" during the year of 1921, with prophetic vision we will state that "the fourth estate" will win greater prestige in their respective communities and will certainly develop in the minds of their readers a firmer race psychology. UNCLE EPN On the Influence of the Feed Trough "Well, for several years I have fought tooth and toenail in defense of the people, with an eye singular to the preservation of the peoples' rights—but I have at last decided that I am the people, and don't you know, it's not so bad to be connected with a real live payroll where the time and place of payment is not a questionable quantity? Of course there are other things to be considered, chiefly among up with. Over in our office there is a bunch of hale and hearty old timers. For instance there is Phil Spiro, from the 32nd Ward. Phil is really an old-timer, so much so that he has outgrown his hair. He was a constable for sixteen years, in the days when they arrested you in Evanston and tried you in Crown Point. Many a good story Phil tells about those times. By the way, I failed to tell you that Phil is head of the Department of fumigation, that is to say he smokes a pipe. He is aided and abetted in his work by Peter Doody, also a member of the political managerie of the 32nd Ward. There are so many good fellows in the lineup that space will not permit me to name them all. James J. White, from the 7th Ward, is just a kid, and known as the "hooch-hound." Then there is John Berenek, of the 12th Ward, a regular fellow, and takes it all the time without water. James McGinnis assistant to the Big Chief, is from the 7th Ward, and on affairs affecting the office, is a wise bird, a kind of essential asset to Ben Newmark, the big pretty Chief. Mac knows more than he tells, but at that what he tells is good. In the new organization of the new force, quite a number of new faces have put in their appearance. In fact it really looks like the league of nations, purely democratic, typical of the man who heads the office. A casual observation is indicative of the fact that in the future it will be an uncomfortable place for bond sharks who deliver people without property. At that, they should worry, they got theirs. You all know Eddie Lyons, of the 14th Ward. Well, he's a part of the force, and will fit in well with his new environment. Those that we didn't mention this week are yet to be considered. President Wilson has been given the Nobel Peace Prize. His contributions to the peace of the World have failed to create any peace. The mention of his name in America at the present time creates little or no applause and maybe his retirement from the active stage of diplomatic warfare was the cause of the Nobel Peace Offering. We hope it will forever silence his academic ramblings on the question of Democracy. *** Representative Mann of Illinois, in a debate in the house of Representatives on immigration legislation states that the Irish people should not be denied the right to leave the tyrannical and turbulent rule of England and come to this country. We wonder what a black man in the house would have stated as to the tyranny, turbulence and injustice of this country. Mr. Mann is living in a glass house *** America is building a few more battle ships to protect herself with A splendid idea only not in consequence with the preachments of Democracy. Mr. Longfellow if he was with us would be inspired to write another poem on the "Building of the ship." To The You Know 'Em Editor You know those judges who renamed the decision Sunday at Bethel in the Prize Contest. I know you know them. Well, should you see them, tell them the prizes went the wrong direction. Well, even a judge is likely to err. You know that big 3rd Ward gambler and underworld character. Well, he is raving again. He doesn't like some of the appointments made by the new State's Attorney. Tell him to quiet his fears, he's lucky to be permitted to continue violating the law. I know you know that society woman who was raided in that flat. You are bound to know her, because she steps it high in social circles. Well if you don't know her, tell her we have her name, and are waiting for a chance to steal her picture. Goodbye reputation. I wonder if you know that vice-lord, booze runner, and general scam about town, who threatens violence because news was printed about the arrest of one of his proteges. Well just tell him we are just waiting for something worse than a divorce case to happen to him. I know you know that policeman who fired his gun off in the floor of a certain clubroom because the proprietor is alleged to have withheld his "crap bonus." Well, he's alright at that. He says if the police department won't raise his pay, he will, himself. I wonder if you know that high-toned lady in the vicinity of 48th and Champlain who clawed all the hair out of the head of the little parlor vamp. Well, it was due to come You see, the little Theda has been seen in hubby's car so many times at such late hours and in such romantic poses and attitudes. I wonder if you know that socializing lawyer. Well, if you don't, just go to any social affair. THEN you will see him, but you'll seldom find him in the courts. He's too busy learning the new dances. I wonder if you know that sporting professional man who made a trip to Atlantic City last summer, taking with him one silk shirt and a $10 bill then came back without changing either. Well, he's in a fair way to break that $10 now if he keeps visiting that number. I know you know the Franklin Bank, 35th St., and Michigan Blvd. I know you know it, because hundreds and hundreds of you put your money there. Well, why don't some of you ask them to put one of your race there as a token of appreciation? 3rd.

DOUU. 9799 JORDAN BLDC 3541 S. STATE ST. "NOSEY" SEES ALL KNOWS ALL 1 NOSEY WAS slipping slyly along Indiana Avenue the other night, peering into the faces of the passersby, trying to recognize familiar faces, when a hissing noise which might have been taken for the escaping steam from an "overheated" apartment or the warning cry of a rattlesnake. Nosey cast his sharp eyes upward and peered through the faltering snowlakes which were gently descending to the sidewalk to make Nosey's walking more difficult and he saw a sight which he will long remember. It was the brazen face of a jagged-toothed "jane" who was saying, "Come her a minute, kid." Nosey is 32 years old and does not like to be taken for one of the "night-lighters." Nosey spied a smooth "brown" passing on the other side of the street. She smiled. Nosey turned and followed. That's all. OFTEN NOSEY hears certain ladies of the "upper ten" reading the pedigree of other ladies who are not present and reciting in detail the escapades of these ladies as if they had really been along at the time. Well, the ladies who receive all of this "back door" gossip attention are usually not their "real" friends and therefore the members of the "smarter set" do not care how much damage is done to a reputation. Well, Nosey heard them planning to keep secret the news of the misfortune of one of their "real" friends who was caught in a rather compromising situation with a prominent lady's husband in a "rather" well-known, if not notorious apartment. Strange how the boot hurts when it is on the wrong foot. Nosey knows the little lady pretty well and knows that this is the first time that she ever has been in a raid like that one which took her to the police courts. Nosey was right on her heels. You ought to read the name she gave. It's funny when you think of it. SOME FUNNY mixups are taking place every day in the foot stores and some of them will pull a laugh out of a tombstone Nosey saw a pretty little girl hanging on to the arm of a stout gentleman and thought that he was with his perfectly charming wife, but when she turned he sait that it was the same vamp that had another poor fish in tow the day before making some other purchases. Nosey's long nose creased all up in a grin and he started out but nearly dropped his own two little purchases when he saw the stout gentleman's real wife enter the store with the stout man's "best" friend. You know that "best friend" variety that stays with the household like pictures on the wall. Nosey wheeled around and followed them but got ashamed of himself when he landed in the ladies' lingerie department and the "best friend" began to handle the flimsy materials. It was too much for Nosey who tucked his head in shame and lurched down the stairs to seek the cool air of the street. EVERYBODY SEEMS to be having a prune fit and also seem to be determined to rise in the world if the amount of raisins, prunes and yeast that is being bought is any indication. Nosey did not quite understand until he went to one gentleman's house and sniffed that "sharp" odor and noticed that none went into the kitchen, yet all kinds of noise could be heard showing that some kind of cooking was going on. Nosey is not sure and could not prove it, but there is some connection between the yeast, prunes and raisins and these "closed doors" and "sanctums" in private houses. As Nosey is an experienced "sampler" he will know when these Christmas parties come off and the refreshment is served, what it all means. YOU OUGHT to see what else besides garbage comes out of the back door of that popular house in the 44th block on Wabash Avenue. Nosey was taking his evening walk and was not looking for excitement and made a short cut through the alley. A door opened and a figure shot out of the lighted opening with the speed of a flying machine and ```markdown ``` Prices Greatly Reduced! Special Bargains in House Slippers! Exceptional Bargains in Bath Robes! Toys! Toys! Toys! Complete lines in Men's and Women's Furnishings! THE CHICAGO WHIP very much the same appearance. It did not really land but used the force that started it to gain a flying star down the alley. Fast as the flying man was going, Nosey recognized him as well as the six-foot man who stood in the lighted doorway watching the man he had given a start in a new life. If the "flying man" wants his notebook that he dropped, it will be returned to him. Otherwise Nosey will amuse himself by calling up all of the "dolls" whose names, addresses and telephone numbers are shown. There is nothing else of value in the book, except a recipe which is not as good as the one Nosey has. Nosey does not know the doctor's exact address. BRIZILIAN-AMFRICAN COLONIZATION SYNDIDATE NOW LEGALLY LAUNCHED Perhaps one of the greatest proposition that have been launched this century, is the launching of the Brazilian American Colonization Syndicate. These gentlemen journeyed to Brazil to find suitable land for North American Colonists, met some of the most influential citizens of Brazil, and by forming a syndicate with these men, they are now in a position to offer to the American of Color fertile soil in one of the greatest countries of the world, a country that stands for justice and equality in every sense of the word. It is their intention to take at least five hundred families to Brazil not later than June 1921. Already there are numbers of families who have made arrangements to go with them. Those people who are looking for equal opportunities where they can reach any political or economic condition any other citizen can obtain, will make no mistake in joining this colony. The Pilgrim Fathers who came to the barren shores of New England where there is seven months of winter and five of summer, who by their perseverance were able to build up the great commonwealth of Massachusetts, would gladly have changed their settlement for this land of plenty, Matto Grosso, Brazil, had they but known of the natural resources of Brazil. Mr. Walter B. Anderson of the Company has informed us that his booklet on the proposition will be ready for the public by the 25th of the month. Any information you may wish to obtain concerning the matter, address him at 3539 South State Street, Chicago, Illinois. Editor's Mail I am sending your notice of the third annual Christmas service that is to be held at Quinn Chapel Christmas morning at 5 o'clock. Last year possibly 800 people衣寄 shipped with us at that hour. I am anticipating at least two thousand this year. You know what a struggle Quinn Chapel has had, but now we begin to see daylight. For the first time in its history, the church is free from floating debts, and since I have been pastor (2 years and three months) we have paid on the mortgage debt $6000.00. Our rally last netted over $2500.00. I am expecting to begin a drive the first of the year to clean up the balance on the debt on or before the coming Easter. The newspapers and the church must cooperate. I am working on the principle that one good favor deserves another hence I am sending you a contribution as a little token for your kindness during the year. I will thank you if you can give a note concerning our Xmas service and Old Mother Quinn. Yours for a successful and happy Xmas. H. E. STEWART. ENTERTAINER CAFE NOWAVE-NETIAN GARDEN After an expense of $15,000 and expert personal supervision, Mr. Isadore Shorr has converted the old Entertainer Cafe into a Venetian Garden. Old Venice flares before you and only the gondolas are missing. The dancers flirting here and there take the place of the stately gondolas. White wax statuary, heavy tapestries and soft multi-colored lights make the place a dream garden. Heavy Brussels carpets line the floors and 20 white lined waiters speedily serve the guests. Mr. William George, formerly of Marshall's in New York is floor manager and Thompkin's snappy Jazz Orchestra furnishes the music. The special vaudeville is headlined by "Brick Top", just back from a two year's tour of England, aided by Alice Ramsey, who made "Rock me in the Cradle of Love" popular, and Ledman. Everybody knows Ledman who has played the Keith, Pantages and Locus Circuit to a finish. Mr Shorr is receiving congratulations or his splendid artistic taste and efforts to make the Entertainer the wonder place of the South Side. Adv. Rheumatism A Remarkable Home Treatment Given by One Who Had It In the Spring of 1893 I was attacked by Muscular and Sub-acute Rheumatism, suffered over one those who have it known already, and I was after remedy and doctor after doctor, but such relief as I received was only muscular.

Shipp's "Darktown Follies" after playing to crowded houses in "My Friend from Kentucky" pulled a bum steer and opened Christmas week with "The Lime Kill Club" and "Chinatown." It was a case of giving an excellent company a poor vehicle. Dink Stewart, who is a natural born comedian, and is worth the price of admission itself, was restricted by the clumsy lines of the plot. The music was good. Leon Diggs and Evon Robinson put over their songs with lots of pep. There was unusual harmony in the sextette numbers due to excellent direction of Miss Marie Lucas. A little pruning here and there and a few additions to the plot will probably develop the "Lime Kill Club" into an acceptable offering. Andrew Tribble, as Giv A-Dam Jones is good. "NOBODY'S CHILDREN" At the State's Theatre, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, Dec. 22-23-24-25, featuring an all colored cast. Five thousand five hundred feet of sensational, gripping and thrilling interest with Richard Maurice, Jaque Farmer, Alex Griffin, Joe Green, Max Johnson, Vivian Maurce, Howard Nelson, and others. The store is a novel one. It tells of the death of the mother of two illegitimate children, a boy and a girl. A death-bed promise is made by the former that he will look after and protect his sister. The stepfather is a no-account type whose time is spent in the resorts of the underworld. It'll during the search in a resort for him by the boy that a murder is committed and of which the lad is falsely accused, tried, convicted and sentenced to hang. The stepparent abducts the girl and takes her to one of the resorts where he is known. The actual layer is a dope friend. He discovers the girl's presence in the resort and decides to aid the brother to escape from the jail so that he might rescue his sister. The consummation of this escape and the hand to hand fight which takes place in the room in which the stepfather had placed the girl, and in which the boy kills the unnatural parent, furnishes one of the most gripping climaxes ever seen on the screen. There is a vast amount of splendid character work done throughout the feature, that of Alex Griffin as the dope fiend being especially fine. An unusual amount of favorable comment has been heard on all sides by reason of the high type of pictures now being released at the States Theatre, Mr. Paul Stone, the manager of the States, is to be congratulated for securing such pictures as "Nobody's Children" and "Earthbound." "A THOUSAND TO ONE" At the Vendome Theatre, Thursday and Friday, Dec. 23-24, featuring Hobart Bosworth. The story of a strong man's fight for love. Imagine Hobart Bosworth as a rotter. But it isn't for long, folks—this characterization exists only for about two reels when a terrific train wreck brings this episode in the star's screen life to an end and out of the wreckage emerges the new man, with love greater than self—big enough to conquer fear and man for the respect of the one woman. THOMAS MEIGHAN In "Conrad in Quest of His Youth" at the Vendome Theatre, Saturday, Dec. 25, Christmas Day. The golden romance of a world-weary bachelor who tried to journey back Back to the old town, the old love, the old glad thrill of life's spring-time. Only to find the myfielding years standing in the way, until—a picture to make you happy you are alive. "THE U. P. TRAIL" At the Vendome Theatre, Sunday, Dec. 26, featuring Roy Stewart and Kathlyn Williams. Who has ever seen a professional gambler on the screen who is not the villain or the villain's assistant, or some minor villain engaged in something low and mean and generally not done in the upstairs. Probably there have been a few, long ago, but in this production "Place Hought" of the story, is a gambler who comes near landing in the hero class. Princess Helena, a native Hawaiian has for the last week charmed the crowds at The Beautiful Royal Gardens with her novel dances. Her sinuous grace and serpentine movements hypnotize the spectators while she goes through the mazes of her Egyptian and Snake Dances. Her Snake Dance truly gives one that creepy feeling which is experienced in watching the twining and unwinding of the body of a multicolored snake and her performance always brings applause. Virge Williams, the popular proprietor of Beautiful Royal Gardens mentioned that Princess Helena has several more wonderful dances which she will present to the holiday throngs, among which is her Dance of The Seven Vetts, which created such a sensation when she presented it for the first time two years ago in the East. The little princess is modest with all and to talk with her is to be convinced that she gives her heart, soul and heart a complete abandon to the art of dancing.

Experts after a critical review of the show state that it is a wonderful offering. It is the first time in the history of the show business that a musical comedy has ever played to crowded houses continuously two weeks before the Christmas holidays. Most shows lay off their actors around Christmas seasons or else allow their actors to play on half salary. The show is remarkable in the number of scenes used. Eleven different scenes are used. It is said that no three shows on the road at the present time can total eleven scenes. The chorus is unescelled in its harmony and repertoire. It is led by five of the best top sopranos augmented by able baritone and tenor soloists. Under the tutelage of an expert director, an unusually perfect harmony could be developed from this chorus. With a small change in the lines of Henri Lecon Johnstone, this show would go big in downtown theatres. Billy King, the dean of comedians, is good, as usual. PRIZE WINNERS' CONTEST DECISION CRITICISED By Walter A. Ellis. The much advertised Essay Contest staged by Mr. B. W. Fitsis and others each year was presented to a fair audience last Sunday, December 19th Four gentlemen and two ladies were the contestants. All of the essays were instructive and disclosed evidence of much labor and research. The musical numbers by Mme, Patti Brown and Mrs. Madeline Sobrian were classics, also the instrumental by Mrs. Pearle Cooper deserves note. It is the opinion of the representative of the WHIP who was present and seated upon the very front seat center, that the 'awarding of the ladies' prize (diamond ring) to Mrs. Duncan P. Webster was a "CONTEST CRIME" as hundreds said, after the dismissal. The voice of Mrs. Webster was not audible to persons seated in the front row and her delivery and poise were not even as commendable as the thought which she aroused or presented. Her construction was only fair and she did not finish within the time limit or do we believe in any limit. She was interrupted as her tones faded away. Mrs. Myra Reeves clearly was her mistress in construction, delivery, poise and subject matter. The awarding of the prize to Mrs. Webster was even more "punk" than the close decision from the ranks of the gentlemen. The gentleman's prize was awarded to M. C. B. Mason, Mr. Mason delivered a well balanced essay as an oration. He stood (in the opinion of the Whip's representative) between the over 'florid, heavy Johnsonian English-ridden essay of Charles Satchel Morris and the simple Addisonian purity as well as easily comprehensible one of the real winner in the hearts of the audience—Mr. William L. Sherrill, St. Marks Lyceum. We have no quarrel for the management this time. But as the judges when they returned (the first time to the auditorium) admitted that they were not satisfied with their own finding and all parties, from the manager (B. W. Fitts) to the judges, attempted to make Judge Lucas the "goat" for his irregularity in his processes the whole affair (as usual) appeared a MIGHTY FARCE. That's ALL! It is noticeable that only a few of the BEST Clubs participate in this "contest." They have their reasons Probably that is why the PRIZE WINNERS drew but few club members to their contest. Judges Marshall, Cotter, Roberts Lucas, Farmer were in for much criticism after the Contest. Mrs Mary Smith (Judge) was accorded much praise. We hand it to "De Roberts" for his speech stating the difficulties in making such a decision Lucas was eliminated from his position—his rating thrown out.

THE CHICAGO WHIP AG PUBLIC MORAL AND PUB Music Notes By Mildred Bryant--Jones INDIVIDUALITY IN MUSIC Every real artist infuses into his rendition his own individuality. The more pronounced the interpreter's individuality the stronger the inclination to impress his own rank on the composition though this is perfectly proper, within reasonable bounds it is plain that the performer must be careful to regulate his impulses and must bear in mind always that the evident ideas of the composer must have first chance. Some composers explain in detail the meanings of their compositions and their consciously present a broad interpretation of their works. In some cases this may be best—especially when the performer is inclined to be careless and to take undue liberties with the music, but in the majority of cases this painfully clear explanation of the composer's wishes proves a drawback to the performer and a consequent curtailment of the greatest amount of enjoyment on the part of the listener. In order then to as near as possible portray the ideas of the composer and at the same time give free reins to his own interpretative powers it is absolutely essential that the musician whether he be player or singer, should study the life of the composer and be come familiar with the circumstances surrounding at the time of the writing of the music as well as gaining a thorough knowledge of his individual musical taste. This understanding of the composer cannot be too strongly urged and it is easily possible through the various biographies and stories of the musicians which can be secured from the public libraries where special attention is given to music and musical work Piano Recital by Goldie Guy The Piano Recital by Goldie Guy on December 14th at Grace Prebysterian church gave additional evidence that the young girl possesses talent and musical ability to a marked degree and that she should have opportunity for its further development. She has poise and ambition—these two things added to real talent form the three basic necessities for success. It is to be regretted that the audience was not larger, but hap- Alexander pily it made up in appreciation what it lacked in size. The Umbrian Club assisted in the rendition of the program, their singing was well balanced and very good throughout. Special mention should be made of the shading and interpretation of their numbers. On Christmas morning at 5 o'clock a Musical will be given at the Metropolitan Community Center church, held at Wendell Phillips High School, Mr. J Wesley Jones, the director, will have charge of the music. **Harrison Emanuel In Recitals** William Harrison Emanuel, violinist, who gave two recitals on the West and South sides December 15th and 17th, was well patronized. His heavy selections were wonderfully rendered. The Hymn To the Sun and Praeludium were especially pleasing. "YOU HAVE GOT TO HAVE MORE MONEY" Your salary without income is not enough.

Church Cor, Robey and Park Ave., Sunday December 19th was quite a success. The meeting was conducted by the first Vice president Rev. Davis. The pastor of the church made the welcome address stating that the organization had his most sincere cooperation. "Anything that is for the advancement of the Negroes meets my heartiest approval," he said. Mr. Hodge, Secretary of the Construction Loan made an interesting talk appealing strongly for subscriptions and many persons subscribed for and bought bonds. Hon. O. A. Wallace, President of the Chicago Division, of the U. N. I. A. spoke in an enthusiastic manner. Showing the yoke of oppression, the woe, the grief met by the Negro measured abundantly by other races. The heel of the white man was on our neck and his sword sought our heart throbs while we, inertly slum- UCATHOL Colds, Rheumatism and Throat Ailments LA CR Wonderful Face and Producing that Pecu WANTED 25,000 Agents—$ FTO MOST POWER ACH PRODU SOF THE MO BLEAC SOFTONE THE MOST POWERFUL BLEACH PRODUCED Discovery That Satisfies Harmless But Powerful ur Druggist Agents ed for on GET R stage 5c A CHEMICAL PROD New Discover Harm Ask Your Dr New Discovery That Satisfies Science Harmless But Powerful Mail orders promptly cared for on receipt of 75c Include postage 5c CHICAGO CHE 3941 3941 INDIANA AVENUE CHICAGO, U.S.A. bered, said Mr. Wallace. But that time is no longer, the Negro has awakened, he has yawned and will soon shake his gigantic body as some mighty beast shakes his mane. Then the world will tremble with pent-up sorrow and mysterious sounds will issue from the bowels of the earth and a cry will go up that means all this and a voice answering: It is the souls of black men departed by atrocities, crying from under the altar. "How long Oh Lord holy and true, doth thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth." Such outburst of oratory from Mr. Wallace held the audience spell bound. Mr. Rudolph Smith chief of the U. N. I. A. Field Corps, talked on the ancient history of Africa. He told of how 2,000 year B. C. Arabs went to Africa and there discovered the African civilization was equal to that of Arabia. And told of how Lucius Opriusan, an African chieftain was deceived and kidnapped by the Romans and what a great warrior he was under Pompins. Mr. Smith also told of the honesty of the African Abhorigines and that the evils of the Negroes are due to the white man's influence. The meeting next Sunday will be at the West Point Baptist Church 2600 Cottage Grove Avenue. Black Cross Nurses In many instances throughout the world the dereliction of the Red cross nurses due to ethnological differentiations has caused black soldiers, fighting under various flags, untold misery, most severe torture and an untimely death. On many battle fields have the red cross nurses of the caucasian and semitic races rushed past the black soldiers, who lie helplessly bleeding on shell swepted "No-Man's Land" their gaping wounds pleading in eloquent tones for aid. Onward rushed these red cross to their white brothers, heedless to the call of their duty to all mankind heedless to their sworn allegiance, not giving first aid and often not giving so much as a drink of water. By such neglect deadly disease germs of gangrene and tenurus started their virulent course and carried hundreds to an untimely end. In view of these existing facts, the Universal Negro Improvement Association is consumating an auxiliary whose duty is to the black boys the same as the red cross is to the white boys. That auxiliary is called the Black Cross Nurses. A corps of efficient physicians and surgeons have been selected to give instructions in first aid care of the sick, sick room management and to impart others knowledge necessary for a trained nurse. The uniform of these angels of mercy is white with a black cross on the upper arm, a black cross on the front of the coiffure, a veil falling back over the shoulders terminating a little below the waist line, making a dainty and impressive appearance. In the Chicago Division of the U. N. I. A. there are about one hundred women who have taken up this branch of the work under the vice lady president Capt. Mary E. Taylor. They will soar launch out on their duties of visiting, and administering to the sick. And Chicago will soon be benefited by their work especially in outbreaks of epidemics. The Black Cross Society offers great opportunity to women who have inclinations towards hygiology. They are drilled in light tactics by ex-officers of the U. S. army, who fought in the world's war. It is generally conceded that when the United States again send over black boys to the battle front, our black women in the name of the Black Cross Nurses shall be waiting to give unto them first aid and to care for the sick and wounded. The Black Cross is the logical consequence of the past experiences. THE CHICAGO WHIP Houston, Texas Houston, Texas By William Archibald Rev.

Manager of the Essay Contest Issue Statement The decision in the recent PRIZ) WINNERS ESSAY CONTEST was not influenced one way or the other by the management. The prizes were awarded strictly in accordance with the averages obtained through the ratings of the judges. The judges acted strictly within the rules hewing to the line and playing no favorites. In view of the fact the awarding of prizes met with considerable dissatisfaction the management announces important changes in the rules for future contests as follows: First. There will be no more "prize winners contests." Second. When there are less than three women entered, the contest for women will be declared off and the prize for women will be regarded as a second prize for men. The same ruling will hold good when there are less than three men entered. Third. No prize will be awarded when the highest average of a contestant is less than eighty percent. Forth. The essays will be judged in the future by a permanent board of judges, of undoubted honesty, broad training, recognized ability and active interest in the literary welfare of the community.

"That's perfectly easy," came the snappy reply of Mae. "Have photos made. They make fine gifts, and one's friends always appreciate an artistic photograph. $12 will pay for a dozen, you see!" Mae is right in her advice. There is nothing today that makes such tasteful and desirable Christmas gifts as a gift. And too, they cost only a fraction of what other less desirable and less appreciative gifts cost. At my Studio you will find prices running from high to low, but all will show the very highest quality of ART and WORKMANSHIP. Hundreds of people, like "the lady of the fine home," will be coming in for Christmas sittings. So you had better come as early as you can so as not to be disappointed.

Gillespie, the subject of the following sketch was born in Osceola, Ark. on the eighth day of November 1876. His earlier days were spent in Memphis, Tenn., where he was reared under the careful protection of Christian parents Charles Gillespie and Mary November 1876. H is earlier days were spent in Memphis, Tenn., where he was reared under the careful protection of Christian parents. Charles Gillespie and Mary Gillespie. He was educated in the public schools of Memphis, in the Summer High school in St. Louis, the Boston Latin School and in Harvard University. Mr. Gillespie gave up his studies in Cambridge because of a natural love and aptitude for music. He was a private pupil of the leader of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and showed so much ability and talent that he was advised to study further in the Chicago Conservatory and that was why he selected the Windy city. While in the Conservatory he perfected his studies under the renowned Jacobson and was the first colored pupil of that celebrity. Unfortunately while engaged in his favorite pastime against the advice of his tutor Mr. Gillespie's index finger was broken by a baseball and his brilliant career as a musician came to a tragic finale. Young Frank being ambitious and undaunted worked on different jobs and also established a record for honesty, integrity and reliability, while employed as private secretary for Mr. Joseph C. Yeaager, a prominent broker, he learned the essentials of modern business. It was during this period that Mr. Gillespie became interested in Insurance and decided to learn it. Insurance was then in its embryonic state and Mr. Gillespie secured a position as agent with the Royal Life Insurance Co., and gradually worked his way up to Supt. He was the first colored man in America to hold a position. He remained with the Royal Life until its dissolution in 1916. Mr. Gillespie then joined forces with the Public Life Insurance Co. and was one of its incorporators and Directors. He held the positions of that capacity until June 30, 1919 when he resigned to organize and promote the Liberty Life Insurance Co. The Liberty Life Co. is the crowning achievement of Frank L. Gillespie.

Book Reviews THE NEGRO FACES AMERICA Editorial Note—The WHIP here- with reproduces Baker Brownell's review of Herbert Seligmann's new book for the Chicago Daily News. The WHIP by no means agrees with Mr. Brownell's opinion as to the wisdom of accepting Seligmann's under- lying thesis, but as a summary of the contents of the book, this review will be interesting to readers of the WHIP. THE NEGRO FACES AMERICA. By Herbert J. Seligmann. Harper. This humane book faces the race problem with more than usual consistency. By defining the problem as no race problem at all but a group of individual, economic and emotional mal-adjustments raised falsely on a racial basis. Mr. Seligmann reduces the question to a level with other workable problems of democratic government. The book in detail, with a record of mass injustice, lynching, economic oppression, peonage and brutal indifference to the human rights of American citizens, is a bitter insight into the hypocrisy of much that we term democracy. But the large outlook of the book is optimistic. Mr. Seligmann's rationalism rejects intuitions and their emotional derivatives called prejudices. His consequent cosmopolitanism though liberally humane has a flatness and "degeneracy" about it that is hard for our aspiring Teutonic tribes to accept. He paliates, if he does not urge, race mixture as the eventual outcome of good race relationships, and he brings to his support a powerful biological argument. But there remains a residuum of intuitive antipathy to Mr. Seligmann's reasons. Prejudice is after all the philosophical basis of values. Race prejudice, distorted and hideous as it often is in this country, nevertheless is perhaps fundamentally sound. The book is a clean appeal for justice and human decency to negro citizens. It should be widely read. Let us hope, though, that Americans will not accept its underlying thesis.

III Released by The Chicago Urban League More than 5,000 people came to the offices of the Chicago Urban League for employment during the month of November. This represents an increase of over 100% in the average attendance figures of the League's Employment Department. Of this 5,000 only 608 were actually placed in positions. Thus, while our attendance showed an increase of more than 100%, our placements showed a decrease of 50%. Unemployment is greater among men than among women. Of the women calling for employment 12% were placed as against 8% of the men; but the total number of men and women placed was smaller than for any month. In the month of November, 1919, with an attendance of 2,386, we placed 51% of our applicants, or a total of 1,216 persons. These figures only indicate that there has been no improvement in the unemployment situation in Chicago. In fact, as the month advanced conditions grew worse. At present the League finds itself unable to hold out hope to the large number of unemployed. From indications, it is safe to predict that not before the first of the year will any material change be made in the unemployment situation. It was never more hazardous to change jobs than at present. The League has never experienced greater difficulty in interesting employers than at the present time. The diversity of employment open to colored people is more limited than at any time since 1916. Last week the League called the attention of the pastors of the city to this unusual situation and gave them facts and figures for the purpose of having them emphasize to their congregations the seriousness of the affair, and the necessity of remaining on their jobs and making good. Plans are now under way to call the pastors into conference with the hope that a concerted effort will be made to urge serious consideration on the part of the colored population to conditions which can in many respects be improved by the race, if regularity and efficiency are recognized as essentials in industrial advancement.

Do Your Christmas Shopping Early and Avoid the Rush WILLS A SERIOUS TITLE ASPIRANT By Dave Wyatt Wills has earned unquestioned right to a titular meeting with Jack Dempsey, but whether a contest between the two ever will be arranged is hard to forecast at this time.

Both Wills and Dempsey are young and at their best. They are well matched at all points.

The post-season intersectional football contest that is attracting the most attention among colored schools of the country at this time, is the game between Tuskegee Institute and the Prairie View Normal and Industrial College Prairie View, Texas, to be played in Houston, Texas, on Saturday afternoon, December 25. Both institutions have a large following in the State of Texas and already indications point to an overwhelming attendance at the game on Christmas Day. Negotiations for the game have been on foot for a long, long time; last year the two teams would have clashed, but certain details in connection with final arrangements for the game were not completed in time, so the contest had to be deferred. Both teams have a satisfactory record, having lost but one game each during the regular season. Accompanying the team will be the famous Tuskegee Institute quartette which has traveled extensively over the United States and Canada singing in the interest of the school. This quartette, under the direction of Captain A. J. Neely, Manager, will give an entertainment at the auditorium on Christmas night, which promises to be a musical event of extraordinary interest and merit. There is probably no organization of colored singers in the South more popular or more widely recognized than these singers and musicians from Tuskegee Institute. Miss Leoni C. Hughes, a graduate of Tuskegee Institute, now teaching in the public schools of Houston, will appear on the program with the Tuskegee singers, rendering several selections. The graduates and former students of Tuskegee Institute are putting forth every effort to see that the visitors are accorded every possible courtesy during their stay in Houston. Mr. Alexander S. Ross, Tuskegee '09, and Mr. J. E. Stamps of the Prairie View Normal and Industrial College, are managing the engagement of the party from Tuskegee (R. S. Darnaby). TALLADEGA CLAIMS SOUTHERH CHAMP.

On the night of December 4, the annual reception was given in honor of the Varsity team at Foy Cottage On this occasion Coach Bragg awarded the crimson "T" to the following men; (Cap.) Deneal, Gordon, Cox, Rivers, Cotton, White, Edwards, Genry, Knox, Coles, Webber and Childs. At the regular meeting of the Athletic Association last night, Mr. Napoleon Rivers, Jr., was elected Football Manager, Season 1921. Mr. Light Fordon is Capt. of Football squad for season 1921. Manager Rivers announces the following prospective schedule for the coming season: Oct. 7—Open. Oct. 14—State Normal at Talladega. Oct. 21—B'ham High at Talladega. Oct. 28—Miles Cottage at Talladega. Nov. 4—Atlantic Uni, at Talladega. Nov. 11—Talladega Reserves at B'ham. Nov. 18—Fisk or Morehouse at B'ham. Nov, 24—Talladega at Tuskegee Nov, 26—Talladega at Jacksonville (Fla. A. & M.) The managers of both basketball and tennis are hard at work in preparation for intercollegiate games. Twenty five men reported for the first basketball work-out a few evenings ago, while quite a number of racket wielders have begun to shake the dust from their rackets. Wills, many admit that a victory over the Black man would stamp Dempsey as the marvel of the ages. However, Wills may not be a wonder, but he is good enough to put Dempsey to a real test, and the sporting public always want to see a great horse or a great fighter extended at least once during his career. The theory that Dempsey is too shilty to be reached often with the right mit was exploded in his fight with Brennan. Wills packs one of the best right hands ever exhibited in the ring; he is heavier than the champion, as is young, as strong and as courageous. No doubt whatever exists that he would prove more than a match for the terror at fighting with one arm free. If the result of a match between the two were a surprise the surprise would be that Dempsey proved to be easier than expected. The subject of a battle between Dempsey and Wills is now receiving serious consideration, and it is rumored that the International Sporting Club is planning this affair for one of their offerings in the near future. The only obstacle is the color line, and this, Dempsey says, will not interfere with the bout. There is no obvious or logical reason for any member of the fistic profession—champion, not excepted—to stencil the color line. "A champion who is a champion, not only in name but in ability, need not use no such fimsy subterfuge behind which to shelter himself from the challenge of his darker opponent. Benny Leonard one of the greatest lightweights the sport has ever unraveled, and unquestionably the most popular, has twice opposed men of dark hue—Lee Johnson and Eddie Dorsey, Dempsey met two heavyweight gents of color and ability prior to his ascension to the uppermost regions of the heavyweight realm. And he was far from the finished fighter that he is today. If the Irish-Indian terror wants to go down in history as a super-fighting man, he will not shy off the trail blazed by Corbett, Jefferie, Slavin and others whose prowess looms up consciously as wonders of the roped arena.

The very few fans who watched the game left the park in disgust, kicking on the umpire's decision of calling the game on account of darkness in the ninth inning when the Giants had two men on bases with only one out, while Charleston, star hitter, was at the bat. Even the Almendares rooters were sore. They don't like to win that way. A turn like that will surely scare away from Almendares Park the few fans that have stuck to the series. ALMENDARES.

The Lincoln Giants of New York are running away out in front of the National and American stars, while the Alexander Giants (colored) is playing throughout all parts of the surrounding territory with unabated success.

"The Sox hopped on the "Duster's" delivery for nine juicy hits. The Cleveland star appeared to have nothing on the ball which the Sox didn't like. "Bullet" Rogan was in rare form, the dusky hurler allowing only two hits, scattered as far apart as the poles. The one run the major leaguers got off Rogan resulted from an error in the fifth inning. McNair's big bat was responsible for three of the Sox tallies. In the third inning, after Fagin had reached first on a fielder's choice, he soused a triple to deep left, scoring Fagin, McNair came home when Carr doubled.

RIVERSIDE, Dec. 18th—Urbita Stars of San Bernardino lost to Alexander Colored Giants of Los Angeles by a score of 5 to 2 in the first of the winter season baseball games played at Evans Park here this afternoon. The full nine innings were played in a drizzling rain. Heavy hitting was done by players of both organizations and few errors committed. Footes second baseman, scored two runs for the Giants, with one each by Butcher, center field; Gardener, pitcher; and Ross, right field. Lemon, playing at second base; Jones, third baseman, scored a run each for the Urbita Stars. Sox and All-Stars Play a Tie Game The Los Angeles White Sox and Pirrone's All-Star baseball team played a 6-to-6 tie at the former's grounds. Fourth and Anderson streets Saturday. The game was called at the end of the seventh inning on account of rain. The battery for the All-Stars was Keating and Billings, and for the Sox Curry and Moore. Base Ball Babble Manager Molina pulled a bone also when he substituted Santop for Lundy early in the game. We fail to see why he should bench the regular shortstop just to let someone else bat for him. Whether the substitute hits or not, the shortstop position is left in the hands of a substitute for the balance of the game, which is a questionable move. As it was, Santop went to right, where he does not belong; then Clark was shifted to short, where he made three errors. That change was certainly responsible for the loss of the game—a least as much so as the other displays said the umpire's ruling in the cleats home. It is to be hoped that the Bacharachs will succeed in shaking all the jinx that hangs on to the team. This will be a great thing for the team, as well as for the game and the financial results of the whole affair. Palmero and Redding pitched good ball. Redding, as usual, worked his head off, only to have his team mates throw the game away on rank errors. No matter how good they play all through the contest, it seems that they are always ready to have a bad innings, when they go up in the air, throw the ball around like a bunch of rank amateurs and give the enemy all possible chances to score enough runs to win. We have always had a lot of admiration for Alfred Cabrera as a ball player. He was one brilliant short-son in his day, but as an unipire he will never do if he pulls another bone like that one of yesterday. The sum was fast disappearing, it was very cloudy, and he had no business to start the ninth inning; but after he did it of his own accord, he should have let them play at out. In all probability victory was just ahead for the Atlantic City combination. * * * * The Bacharachs have played very poor ball; no one denies that fact. But just at the very moment when they show a lot of life and stage a ninth-inning rally, following another rally in the eighth that almost tied the score, they were handed that deal.

Let the secure it and the ends justifiable. Charity can be found and proved. Charity is "lo- ffer no more from "black hands." Charity in America, especially as it affects those of African descent, has been a potent factor in advancing civilization and ministering to the needs of humanity. The kindly dispensations of charity have stimulated education, assisted Christianity and encouraged worthy professional and business endeavor. Is charity becoming puffed up and unkind? Is the heart of philanthropy getting cold? Whether we are in sympathy with capitalism, communism or liberalism, America's great wealth is controlled by a favored few and the majority of the common people, regardless of their race affiliation are dependent upon this wealthy minority for assistance in grappling with the gnarled and twisted problems of life. The capitalists of America have among them many who love humanity and deplore the systems which prevent a more equitable distribution of wealth. Wealth is hoarded up never-the-less. Moth and rust doth decay and thieves break through and steal. Whether wealth should be hoarded up is not our issue, but when the wealthy show disposition to scatter their dollars among the poor and to supplant ignorance by education and poverty by plenty, the robber, the thief and the unworthy should be condemned. Charity has been abused. Philanthropy has been deceived. "Those who once gave freely, now give little and those who never gave now give less." The crimes committed against philanthropy are not directly or collaterally aimed at the crime of capitalism and neither justification nor excuse can be placed upon that reason. Capitalism may suffer a tragic end and wealth may become a burning memory of blood, but capitalism does now exist, wealth does now exist and so does poverty and human distress. Charity, which has sometimes been called love, is indispensable to America, to her mongrel people and particularly to her black citizens. The way upward to her black people is more perilous and rock strewn than to others. The doors of opportunity are in most cases barred. The black people are in abject need of the benevolence of philanthropy and the kindness of charity. Since emancipation, the hand of charity has aided. Schools, universities, churches and eleemosynary institutions are silent monuments to that fact. The friends of yesteryear seem neither numerous nor conspicuous as the year of 1920 draws to an eventful end. Gifts to "the people of the night" are scant. The strings around the purse of philanthropy are tightened when swarthy faces appear. Why does charity to them seem to fail? It seems to fail and grow cold because it has been abused and misused. Individuals of dark hue, with long green coats, shifty eyes and long grasping fingers have extracted great sums from the wealthy for spurious causes and institutions that never existed. Others have by criminal craftiness secured large sums which have been converted to their own unworthy use. Charity seekers have hounded the wealthy through the busy hours of the day into the wee hours of the night. The cry of "Give me for my poor people" has struck into the souls of the benevolent with the same gruesome monotony as the quaking Raven's "nevermore" struck into the bitterness of the unhappy Poe. Charity and philanthropy are at wits' end. The will to aid needy humanity still survives, but trust and confidence in it has been shaken and undermined. The black people of America must stop hounding the charitable. Let every cause be worthy. If thieves (who are not peculiar to race or color), be known, they should be exposed and prevented from further exploiting of a whole race. It is time now to think of independence. The mendicant and beggar is never independent. Wealth controls almost every human activity. Let the means be legitimate to secure it and the ends justifiable. Charity never fails where worth can be found and proved. Charity is "long suffering" but let it suffer no more from "black hands." The Signs of the Times.

Race One year ago the Chicago Whip carried an Editorial under the caption of the "Signs of the Times."

At this writing we find ourselves in the grip of "hard times," business depression, unemployment, and unprecedent calamities of crime. The question of immigration is a problem to clumsy outsided legislators and the foreigners continue to glut the over-crowded cities. Labor is strangely silent, and this silence is to be interpreted as the calm that comes before a disastrous storm. Race prejudice is boiling under the combustible influence of insidious organization and Southern tolerance. It will flare up seriously in the near future. The policy of the Government in dealing with her adjacent and dependent nations will result in international strife unless immediate change is made. Bolshevism advances and will continue. Ireland will continue her fight to a temporary compromise which will have no lasting effect. The country will drift back into normalcy after much suffering and privation. The Black People will awaken to a fuller extent and the cooperative spirit in organization, politics, and economics will give greater evidence of the expansion of the new-found race consciousness. America will give a more rigid enforcement to the federal laws and the in-going administration will make minor changes and by way of political reparation will confer a few positions upon the Black people. The signs of the Black People returning to the South are faint as the South offers few comparative advantages to them. It is hoped that peace, prosperity and plenty will come notwithstanding. Health Hints PETER B. The value of vaccination against small-pox has been thoroughly demonstrated by the fact that the recent epidemics of this disease were in neighborhoods that did not believe in vaccination. We find that these neighborhoods were made up of either foreigners, who did not know about the prevention of this disease or religious sects that are prejudiced against vaccination. In some communities, school children brought notes from their parents informing the teacher not to have their children vaccinated because God had given them sufficient protection. On the other hand these were the very neighborhoods where smallpox developed in the severest forms. Vaccination against smallpox is no new experiment. It is a scientific process that has been based upon many years of experiment. It is found that the virus of an eruptive disease of the cow termed (Cox Pox) when inoculated into man produces a local pox with constitutional disturbances which afford protection, more or less permanent, against smallpox. In the United States cow pox was introduced by Benjamin Waterhouse, Professor of Physics at Harvard, who on July 8th, 1800, vaccinated seven of his children. In Boston, August 16th, 1802, nineteen boys were inoculated with cow pox. On November 9th twelve of them were inoculated with smallpox; the results were that after being inoculated with cow pox, then smallpox virus, none of them developed smallpox. A control experiment was made by inoculating two unvaccinated boys with the same smallpox virus; both took the disease. The nineteen children on August 16th, were again unsuccessfully inoculated with fresh virus from these two boys. This is one of the most crucial experiments in the history of vaccination and fully justified the conclusion of the Board of Health. Cow Pox is a complete security against the smallpox. Communities in which vaccination and revaccination are thoroughly and systematically carried out are those in which smallpox has the fewest victims. Vaccination should be performed between the 4th and 6th month in children. If unsuccessful, it should be repeated from time to time. It should be postponed if the child has any alliment or suffers from syphilis or a skin disease. The child should be again revaccinated at the age of nine years. A person exposed to the contagion of smallpox should always be revaccinated. This if successful, usually protects but not always. The effects of a single vaccination may wear out, so it is important that each individual be vaccinated every seven years. In conclusion let me warn you smallpox can be prevented by vaccination and do not let any religious sect prejudice you against this protection as an unvaccinated person is not only a menace to himself, but also to the community in which he lives. Few of us know that the gravest dangers to our health are due to conditions of the teeth below the gum surfaces that is to say, the roots of the teeth and adjoining portions of the jaws which we call tooth sockets are responsible for the far reaching detriment to our bodily health. Volumes have been written cautioning the care of the exposed surfaces of our teeth. The tooth brush and mouth wash are truly indispensable to our hygiene, but deeply in the little tubes that tunnel the roots of our teeth lurk germs that poison our system, undermine our health and shorten our lives. If we examine an extracted tooth with a reading glass we discover a tiny opening at the end of the root of that tooth. It is through this opening that the tooth receives its nourishment of blood also a supply of nerve tissue. One of the worst misfortunes that could befall that tooth is to have this nourishing source destroyed. Once this tissue commonly called the "nerve" is destroyed, its decay follows immediately and unless the dead tissue is removed thoroughly (as only a competent dentist can.) infection results and swelling of the face follows, carrying with it usually pain and rise in temperature. It is therefore through infected root canals that the entire system may be poisoned. It is through improperly cleansed root canals which also are left either unfilled or poorly filled teeth that greatest harm is done to a patient by the brand of dental speed kings, whose sole promise to the public is cheap and painless dental work. It is the moral duty of every ethical dentist to assist in educating the public to demand dental operations of quality through painstaking thoroughness. The vital importance of thorough sterilization of the root canals before filling them is patent when we observe the increasing use of the dental X-ray for better determining the condition of the root portions of our teeth. "Conservation" was one of the most used words during the world/war and never was it more applicable to a just obligation than that imposed upon the dental profession with regard to their attitude towards the pulps (nerves) of the teeth. It is the duty of the patient to co-operate with the dentist in saving the pulps of all his teeth possible. Some are THE CHICAGO WHIP All Questions of Legal Nature Cheerfully Answered. A. E. Ques. My father left all of his property to his wife by will. This was a second wife who was our stepmother. There are three of us children from his first wife who was our mother and who died. Can we claim any share of the property? Ans. No. Ques. I have been living with a woman who has a husband from whom she has been separated for many years but not divorced. We have fallen out and now she threatens to bring proceedings to force me to support her. Can this be done legally? Ques. I gave my overcoat to a tailor to dye for me. When I went to get it, I found that it had been ruined so that I could not use it at all now. The tailor to whom I gave the coat refuses to pay me, saying that he sent it out to some cleaners and dyers and they ruined it and that I must take it up with them. He did not say anything about not doing his own work when I left it with him. Is he responsible to me for the coat? And can I sue him for the value of the coat? Ans. Yes to both of these questions. Ques. My husband died several weeks ago. He was in partnership business with two other men and now they refuse to give me anything from the business or to divide any of the things with me although he was a full partner in everything in the place up to the time of his death. What steps should I take? Ans. The death of one of the partners dissolves the partnership. The property of the deceased partner going to his heirs, personal representatives or legates as the case may be. You can bring proceedings against these men to force them to make an accounting and obtain partition of the property in order to have them turn over to you your part. Ques. I am renting a flat at a very high rate of rent. The building is not properly heated. Am I justified in holding back the rent in order to force the landlord to give the proper heat? Ans. Make a complaint to the health department in City Hall and they will see that the landlord gives you the proper heat. Law requires that flat buildings be heated from October 15th to May 15th. Ques. Can a criminal charge be made against a man for an automobile accident, which was purely an accident? Ans. Yes, under some circumstances.

EDITOR VANN LOSES JOB PITTSBURG, Pa., Dec. 22. —Editor R. L. Vann, of the Pittsburg Courier, of this city, assistant City Solicitor, was one among those holding sinecure positions to be lopped off by the city fathers in an effort to lower the tax rate. Vann's salary was $3,000 per annum. very quick to ask that a pulp be killed. The dentist is thereby put to the task of explaining why this procedure would be detrimental to the health of his patient. It is enough for the public to learn that a live pulp in a tooth is the safest of all protections against infection and consequent general bodily debilitation. How then do the infected roots of the teeth give rise to the numerous ills charged against them? The answer is simple when we recall that the nerve twigs and blood vessels that enter the teeth at the end of their roots to furnish nourishments are but tiny branches of the great blood and nervous systems that supply the entire body. Any infective materials may thus find their way from the tooth into the general blood stream and be transported to other small branches in the brain or in the feet, where infection is again set up resulting in untold effects. Many dental operations are somewhat painfully done in order that the pulp may be conserved. There are many methods of deadening (aaneztheizing) the feeling of a tooth under operation, but in the large majority of cases it is preferable that the tooth be worked upon in its normal state so that the response of the pulp may be used as a guide to warn the operator when too near encroachment is progressing and thereby prevent injury to this protecting element of the tooth. The pulp is also the source of the immitable color of the tooth; usually when the tooth loses this source a canny lifeless unsightly thing remains as mute evidence of a vacant shell from which the little sea animal has fled no more to be desired. In conclusion let us so resolve to care for the early indications of impending danger of the loss of our teeth that the visit to the dentist may be more pleasurable in that only minor operations such as cleaning the teeth, placing small fillings and general oral toilet may suffice. A tooth whose pulp has been destroyed is a weak and vulnerable makeshift, which according to increasing number of reputable dentists should not be allowed to remain in the mouth. The extraction of all such pulpless teeth is radical doctrine just now, but the fact that many authorities advocate it, is sufficient proof of the seriousness of the need of conservation of the life of all possible tooth pulps.

Crowe, long before the Honor- able Judge had cast his eye in the direc- tion of the State's Attorney's Office to which he was recently elected Mr. Fields has been appointed to the Department of Investigation by State's Attorney Crowe in recognition of his services. His sleuthing abilities in ferering out political secrets will, no doubt, serve him well in his new field. Another appointment made within the past week by the new State's Attorney is laudable for at least two reasons—first because it was well merited, and second because it was given a WOMAN—Mrs Gertrude Fowler, 23 E. 47th street, who met the Thompson camp and is one of the poorest political workers of the gentler sex in the Third Ward. Much success to both of you.
