LINCOLN STATE BANK, 31st and State Streets HAPPY NEW YEAR SLA y, De The "Long-Sought Honest Man" Found PASCAGOULA, Miss., Dec. 29. — If Old Diogenes, who searched Athens with a lamp in daylight, looking for an honest man, and who finally died in disappointment, had been in this city last week, his quest would not have been in vain. Peter B. Lindsay, porter in the Lewis Insurance Agency here, saw W. R. Benkert, white, of Davenport, Iowa, drop a pocketbook containing $75.00 in the aisle of the office. Although many other persons entered and left the office, and the discovery of the pocketbook could not be connected with Lindsey, he returned it intact to the owner. Citizens of this town say that this incident ends Diogenes' search for an honest man. GIVE DOMINICAN RULE BACK AS CHRISTMAS GIFT WASHINGTON, Dec. 29—By direction of President Wilson, Admiral Thomas Snowden, naval governor of San Domingo, issued a proclamation announcing "that the government of the United States believes the time has arrived when it may inaugurate the simple processes of its rapid withdrawal from the responsibilities assumed in connection with domination affairs," was issued at San Domingo today by Admiral Thomas Snowden, naval governor, by direction of President Wilson. The proclamation was in the nature of a Christmas gift to the Dominican people and presaged the withdrawal of American control over the affairs of the West Indian republic which began more than four years ago. Admiral Snowden announced that a commission of representative Dominican citizens soon would be appointed with a technical adviser to be named by President Wilson to formulate amendments to the constitution, revise the laws of the republic and draft a new election law. TUSKEGEE MAN SHOT IN POST-XMAS CELEBRATION Although the sound of the sleighbells had died out, the last bit of meat stripped from the bones of the Xinas turkey, and bowl of egg-nog empty, yet there was a wee bit of gin left in the squarehead on the buffet, and this gin was the fly in the ointment resulting in a near tragedy on the West side Monday afternoon. Samuel D. Fite, a commercial artist, said to be a graduate of Tuskegee Institute, residing with his wife, Mrs. Georgiana Fite, at 210 N. Morgan St., were entertaining David White, 2522 Washington Blvd. After much gin had been drunk, the shooting started, no one knows just exactly how. After the smoke of battle had cleared away, Fite had a bullet wound in his abdomen, Mrs. Fite was suffering a scalp wound, and bullets had narrowly missed Mrs. Fite's mother and sister. According to all reports, White is still going, although in which direction, or whether bound, no one seems to know. ving NOW F -LINC stmas Club Savers over $78,00 week prepares you for next LINC VOL.

Mrs. Stanley, who is a widow, was returning home from her employment at Rothschilds Department Store, and had reached the door-step to her home, when at 10.00 p. m., Wednesday night, she met her death at the hands of a man she barely knew. From information coming from Mrs. Daniels, mother of the slain woman, her daughter had known Collins only slightly, and he had visited her home only twice during their acquaintance. No adequate reason can be given for From information coming from Mrs. Daniels mother of the slain woman, her daughter had known Collins only slightly, and he had visited her home only twice during their acquaintance. No adequate reason can be given for the murder, but all evidences point to a premeditated murder on the part of Collins. Hid In Dark As Mrs. Stanley approached her home, Collins is said to have stepped out from the darkness, and without warning begin an assault upon his victim. Mrs. Daniels, hearing her daughter's screams, rushed to her assistance, but Collins continued his assault, and dealt his death-dealing blow as Mrs. Stanley lay bleeding in her mother's arms. Assailant Walks Away As she was assisted into her home by her mother, Collins casually walked from the scene of the murder into his room, only a few steps away. Police officers who appeared on the scene a few moments later later in the business, are urged to have left the spot. In the meantime the murderer escaped. Rolling Pin In Murderer's Room Investigation of the murder's living quarters revealed a rolling pin on Collins' bed. Collins had no kitchen in connection with his room nor had he any use for a rolling pin, and it is presumed that he had intended to lure the woman into his room, and failing, had murdered her in the street. Mysterious Stranger Under Arrest Mysterious Stranger Under Arrest Although eye witnesses accuse Collins as the murderer, immediately after the tragedy had occurred, one Harris, a stranger appeared in the apartment, and a woman interested in the case. He called at the home several times asking questions. He was put under arrest for his suspicious actions. Mrs. Stanley, who was 28 years of age swaived from the South, and left two children, a boy 7, and a girl 5. DICE GAME ENDS IN LYNCH ING JONESBORO, Ark., Dec. 29—When Wade Thomas in a dice game here last week began begging his dice to "pass," he little dreamed that his final throw would spell death for two. Policeman Elmer Ragland was shot dead when he attempted to raid the game. To satisfy mob lust for revenge, Thomas, one of the participants of the game was taken from the jail and lynched.

Colored people have reason to know that the Ku Klux Klan represents terrorism and oppression, that it is organized to maintain so-called 'white supremacy' which means depriving colored people of their constitutional rights by violence. "To date the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has taken the following steps in its war on the Ku Klux Klan: "1. The Postmaster General of the United States has been written to asking him to refuse the privileges of the United States mails to the Klan for soliciting members." "2. Information having been obtained that the Klan intended to organize branch in New York City, letters were written to the United States attorney for the district of New York, also the New York district attorney, the police commissioner, and the mayor of New York and the governor of New York State Assurances have been received that no branch of the organization will be tolerated in New York and in a public statement Assistant District Attorney Alfred I.

The ex-Southerner was traveling on the Pennsylvania New York Special, Friday morning, Christmas Eve Day. In the same seat with him happened to be Mrs. H. H. Boger, wife of Dr. Boger, 4218 Indiana Ave. At the Englewood Station the Southerner informed Mrs. Boger that she could ride no further in the same seat with him. A conference with the conductor of the train enlightened him, however, regarding Northern laws and customs. So much out of his element was the Southerner, however, that he voluntarily changed his seat. More lynchings are anticipated when this son of rebel ancestors returns south. Are You Out Of Work?

Boykin was found guilty in the Municipal courts, but decided to appeal the case when Atty, Westbrooks pointed out several constitutional errors in the law. The law against pandering forbids the taking or accepting money earned by immorality.

LEADERS OF TWO RACES TO SPEAK Garvey and De Valera to Join Hands in Liberty Hall Meeting NEW YORK CITY, Dec. 29—New Year's Day, 1921, will witness the first step toward the coalition of oppressed races of the world, when Marcus Garvey and Eamon De Valera deliver addresses at Emancipation Day cele- brations held in Liberty Hall here. Both Garvey and De Valera have attracted world-wide attention as the foremost sponsors for liberty and independence for the races which they they are the act that they are to appear together in, training, carries with it a peculiar significance. De Valera has been elected president of the provisional Irish Republic, and his appeal for Erin's freedom from the English yoke has given rise to the most serious domestic problem to be faced by Great Britain since the war of the Revolution. De Valera is today an exile from his native land, and aATIVE ciation, has attracted more than national attention and has startled white America by surrounding himself with an organization of more than 2,500,000 American Negroes. Garvey movement is being closely watched today by the American public as a barometer of growing race consciousness among Negroes. Garvey's movement does not confine itself to America, but includes all races throughout the world with African blood in their veins. An independent republic in Africa is one of the elements in his program. The degree to which Garvey is watched today is manifest by the amount of space given his activities in the American press. J. W, E, Eason, elected American Leader by members of the Garvey movement will also speak at the Liberty Hall meeting. CHARGE LYNCHING OF MINISTER TO OWN RACE JACKSON, Miss., Dec. 29—According to a report made to the Grand Jury by Sheriff Williams, of this county, the Rev. Coleman Brown, of Puris, met death at the hands of his own race. The Rev. Brown was suspected of having a hand in the murder of Della Green, a 14 year-old girl. The girl was found hanged from a tree with a clothes line. No deinite clues were found pointing to the identity of the murderer, and the sheriff made no arrests. The minister, however, was suspected as being the murderer, and Thursday morning was found dead, presumably lynched by colored men. ATLANTA YEGGMAN TAKEN BY POLICE ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 29—Robert Benton, alias James Harris, a well-known figure in this city was arrested early last Friday morning as he was in the act of chiseling his way into the safe of a barber shop at 35 Marietta St. According to the officers he had knocked the combination off the safe and was in the act of breaking the lock.

UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP Constructive Criticism of Men and Measures, In the Hope of Correcting Errors and Evils. Constructive Criticism of Men and Measures, In the Hope of Correcting Errors and Evils. The spirit of mob law and violence has at last permeated the black people of Mississippi and they have reaked a peculiar kind of vengeance upon one of their own race. They lynched a minister. The same spirit will vent itself against whites if the cause is not removed and that is the tolerance of the South of lawlessness. Even in Australia the poison of race hatred is being disseminated. In a promiscuous attack on Japanese several human beings were slain in cold blood. Slowly and constantly does the white race inflame those of darker hue. Charity begins at home. In Chicago a free Xmas dinner was given to the unemployed black people. Over 700 were fed. The funds subscribed were mostly by white people. Strange that successful business men of the city would not contribute to such a worthy cause in behalf of their own people. Roscoe "Cackling" Simmons is certainly wasting type in Saint Louis. He is writing. Of course he is writing about himself. His name appears on the front sheet of his "newspaper" just twenty times. According to himself he is a great attraction. The Colonel fails to realize that he is out of shape with the times and is the laughing stock of the newspaper world. In Detroit a few days ago a deal of sentiment was created against Macus Garvey. The reactionaries are very slow to appreciate the valute of Mr. Garvey's teachings. This man is creating favorable comment all over the world and it is incumbent upon all of those who love their kind to at least be open-minded on the Garvey movement. 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 UNCLE EPH He Has a Dream Uncle Eph says: "I had a dream the other night which covered almost every known activity in the range of human thought. I observed, during my slumber, that the mothers and fathers of the many children seen roaming about the streets had changed their manifest lack of interest in these children and were teaching them the principles and beauties to be realized out of honest and diligent efforts upon their part to become respectable men and women of the community. In my dream I passed Weedell- Phillips High, and I noticed the students leaving their classrooms now ward bound in orderly and spectable manner. They weren't screaming and yelling, they weren't racing out into the streets in front of oncoming automobiles, they weren't annoying passersby and blocking the sidewalks. buckling. I also noticed that the social pirates who ensnare and lure into their nets unadvised and unsophisticated young children were conspicuous by their absence. In my dream I also saw that the ministers of the gospel had ceased to preach money and dollars, and had begun to preach the salvation of souls. My dream carried me into the district where cabarets and clubs, crap and poker games had flourished so long, and I saw that a transformation had taken place. I saw clothing stores, shoe stores, banks; in fact, I saw business activities of every sort taking the places formerly occupied by those resorts which so long had made wrecks of men and butterflies of women. I attended a reception in "society" and was astonished at the absence of those who "toiled not." I saw that the bread winner was recognized as a desirable associate. I saw that the psychology of the people had changed, and they no longer received with open arms simply because they had an abundance of money and diamonds, those lovely and delicate parasites who survived off the blood money garnered from a weak and unfortunate type of womanhood. The most astonishing part of my dream came when I observed the realm of politics, and I saw a host of public officials who had honor and distinction conferred upon them because of their ability and integrity in honestly carrying out the mandates of the people, and not because they belonged to some political ring or clique. I know not how long my dream would have lasted, had it not been that I ran across a police official who was really determined to do his duty to the community without regard to pull or bribery. That shock was too much. I awakened'and found it was 7:30. Snatching a modicum of food, I beat it to the office. To The You Know 'Em Editor You know that fashionable young girl who received a Christmas present and was afraid to show it. I know you know her, she usually gets a lot of pretty things around Christmas time. Oh well, it often happens in life that those who really do the work are the least to be considered. I know you know those ladies (?) who, while coming down Grand Blvd, slipped and fell in the snow. Instead of raising their heads they simply kicked up their heels. Oh well, they I know you know that supposed politician who once had a job as alley inspector. Well, you tell him if he doesn't quit taking these women's money on the pretense of getting them a flat, he'll have to go home in an airship at night in order to evade the police. You know that prominent minister who pulled off a Christmas dinner. Well, he made a success of it in spite of all the knocking. I wonder if you know that prominent social service worker. You must know her, because she is active in everything for the public uplift. Well, if you know her, tell her if she doesn't stop visiting that bachelor apartment in the Mecca Bldg, where she serve everything from wood alcohol to varnish, she will destroy her usefulness as a social worker, as well as her eyesight. I know you know that prominent real estate operator. I know you know him, because he is an authority on good property, and never was known to rent a flat "sight unseen." Yes sir, he's a wonder, hell take a lady to see a flat, even if he does have to leave by the back way on account of the approach of her husband. You know that prominent "near literary" young man. Well, I know you must know him. He has been elected to the Chair of a prominent Literary Club. Mayhaps his satellite the "lifty" sexton who objects to the title will be happy now. I know you know that minister who quit a certain church and religious faith because they would not give him a license. I know you know him, because he has joined another church out south and now he sits high and dry upon the platform nearly every Sunday. Maybe he will get the license. The Jackson LOAN DIAMOND CO.

A man in a suit bending forward, opening a door. NOSEY WAS waiting for a car at Indiana Avenue and 38th Street when a eosed limousine drew up to the curb near where Nosey was standing. The black curtains were drawn and there was a dim light shining through these muslin shades. Nosey wondered what was the idea. The car remained there and Nosey liked to have frozen to death waiting for someone to get out from behind those dark curtains. The driver remained at his post the whole time and only went into the apartment building once. The car remained there for two hours and then a pretty little girl in turs got out and said good night. Well, Nosey nearly had heart failure when he saw who the old gentleman was who had been "holding it so long." This "leader" certainly must have made the best speech of his life because he certainly had "inspiration" enough. ONLY THE brave dare do some of the things the younger set do at their "house parties." The latest stunt now seems to be "dawn breakfast." You know you start to your friend's house after theatre and then do what ever you can to pass the time away until it is time for breakfast. Nosey saw one good gentleman being led from the table at the break of dawn by his enraged wife. The funny part of this early morning scene was that the man was dressed more for "September morning" than he was for December morning and his overcoat did not hide his thin unclad legs as he scuffled along behind his wife. The gentleman so well known in real estate circles got very mad when Nosey wrinkled his long nose in a smile. If he had not given the "distress signal" Nosey would have called his name this week. SOME TUESDAY night you ought to go to The Raymond School Gymnasium at Wabash and 30th and look in on the gym class which is composed of society ladies. Some are going through the stunts to re-verify. Others firmly believe that they again revaccinated at the age of ten will be able to develop by the training. Nosey poked his long nose in that room and almost choked when he saw the varied assortment of figures in their gym togs. Nosey found out many things about many ladies that had been somewhat of a mystery to him for a long time. Some of the "calves" there certainly were "out of shape with the shape." Others, oh well, you know it was funny. Nosey hopes that all of the ambitions of each and every one of the ladies will be realized. EVERY VISITOR that comes to Chicago and stops with that lady on 42nd Place seems to get into trouble before she leaves. Her last visitor went "slumming" with two of Chicago's popular professional men on Christmas Eve, and her fur cape got lost. She could not tell the police about her loss because neither she nor the gentlemen wanted the publicity and did not want it known that they were at that "notorious" night cafe. Nosey followed them. The lady had to wear one of the gentlemen's overcoats home. The tragedy of it all was that the cape was not completely paid for and the lady naively asked the good doctors to pay the balance. You ought to have heard the wail that these gentleman put up on their way home. They finally decided to share the expense fifty-fifty, even the protest of the short doctor who still maintains that he didn't get that much out of the evening. Got to pay if you want to dance. \* \* \* YOU CANNOT tell when you are going to see that lawyer or where you are going to see him. He lives on the Southside but he certainly gave Nosey a hard time following him the other night as he got in cars, taxi-cabs and private automobiles. From 63rd Street and Vernon Ave, to the Northside means nothing to this man and the beauty of it all is that he is never accompanied by his wife. The cost of Nosey's evening was over $20.00 but he collects enough evidence for the wife to make "The Products With A Reputation" REAL BEAUTY FOR EVERYBODY!

Haas Edward Litzinger, Chas, Devine Warren B. Douglass, who were the chief speakers of the evening. Mr. Thos. Boyer, who was Master of Ceremonies proved an able and witty host. Mrs. Florence Thomas who is employed in Mr. Devine's office (the Probate Court) paid a glowing tribute to Mr. Healy as citizen, politician, business man and friend. Gov. Deneen's speech teamed with remindences and brought back to "Some present" lingering regrets for the good old days" when Politics was well, what Sherman said War is. Then Edward Littinger, the silver-tongued orator of the Board of Review, let loose a stream of eloquence that well nigh submerged the modest Mr. Healy with its effusive enloy. Many others landed Mr. Healy for his many virtues and kindnesses, particularly to the Colored people of his ward for whom he has secured positions approximating a quarter of a million dollars annually.

Baber pastor of Trinity Methodist Episcopal church at 30th St, and Prairie Ave, the aid of practically every business, church, and welfare organization on the south side was secured to stage a big FREE XMAS DINNER for the unemployed men, women and their families. That the affair was a huge success is evidenced by the great number of people who gratefully received the edibles that had been prepared for them. More than a thousand people were fed, besides more than sixty baskets were delivered in person by Dr. Baber, the father of the movement. A sad spectacle. One viewing the long line of hale and hearty adults and vigorous children who marched like well trained cadets to receive the crumbs handed out by charity could not help but feel sad unless they stopped to think seriously for a moment of the fact that these people were willing to work and were capable of providing for themselves, but due to the heartlessness of the profiters and the indifferences of the Government had become helpless victims of economic pressure. When one thought of these things he became angry instead of sad. One redeeming feature of the affair was the fact that they were full of smiles in spite of the cold weather and the lack of jobs and a hard winter staring them in the face. Too much credit cannot be given Major R. R. Jackson, Alderman of The Second Ward who secured a special Tag Day out of which $323.00 was raised. Among the large donations was $100 from The First National Bank, $25 from The National Bank of The Republic, Paul-Stone Amusement Company, $25, William Bottoms of The Dreamland, $25.00, The Universal Negro Improvement Association, $25 and $50 from The South Park M. E. Church. The total collections were $484.50. Expenditures THE CHICAGO WHIP AG PUBLIC MORAL AND PUB Music Notes By Mildred Bryant--Jones Chorus Singing Part 1 It is more or less generally known that singing is a very great help to good health. It expands the lungs, helps to develop deep breathing and stimulates the circulation. Anyone who sings in a chorus has the benefit of the advantages and if the chorus conductor is capable the singer receives the additional benefit of valuable training and drill in music reading. At the same time the voice is improved in quality, in range and in case of execution. A participant in chorus work gets from the music things that is scarcely possible for a listener to obtain. He has an opportunity of fathoming the depths of music, of seriously studying and extracting from the composition the hidden meanings that only serious study and rendition can give. His understanding of speech in expanded and broadened and he finds richer fields of emotion than language alone can express. In this then lies the greatest blessing of the chorus singer. The privilege of making a part of himself the richness and beauty of the work studied and of obtaining the power to pass on to the others the inestimable benefits received. Piano Recital by Louise Williams Louise Williams, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. R. L. Williams and pupil of Mrs. Hazel Harrison Anderson gave a piano recital at her home 3626 Grand Boulevard on Monday afternoon, December 27th. She played some twelve or thirteen pieces and in them all showed remarkable musical feeling with a noticeable amount of poise for one so young. Her accent was especially good and her accuracy of fingering and notes, combined with intelligent interpretation gave abundant evidence of the excellent training of her teacher and of her own diligent application.

THE METROPOLITAN COMMUNITY CENTER Stages Pageant on Xmas Dawn Chorus of One Hundred Voices, Orchestra, and Leading Artists on Program Over one thousand Chicago citizens made 5 A. M. time Xmas morning at Wendell Phillips High to wit- ness the Pageant of the Nativity. Within the vast auditorium they were seated in darkness. Following the soft notes of the piano, the still- ness was broken by the entrance of the "Wise Men of the East" bearing candles and the Shepherds' crooks, in search of the new born Babe of Bethlehem. A star shown to the front and above. One hundred robed sing- ers proceeded in processional to the grotum and to the choir stand. The music weird yet inspiring. Prayer by Reverend Dr. Cook Instructions given and introduction to program by J. Wesley Jones follow- ed. He "gave God the Glory." As the gloom again settled over the vast auditorium, the vestured chorus in subdued tones, accompanied by the orchestra, sang: "Holy Light," Mr. A. A. Brown, Prof. W. E. Gosset, Prof. Elgar, then rendered special selections. The violin and piano numbers were both befitting to the occasion and to the reputation of the artists. The selections by the sexette from the famous octette of Mr. A. A. Brown, put the vocal numbers over the top. The chorus "The Star of Bethlehem," was decisively, convicting, converting and estatic in power. The appearance of the "Star" in the midst of the gloom was a great feature of the occasion. Reverend Dr. Cook made remarks befitting the hour. Many "Amens!" were heard in the darkness. Reverend J. Francis Washington invoked the blessing of God upon the congregation and gave thanks for the good things which had come to the M. C. C. Church. The entire event, in itself, was a star to itself before God. "The trembling shepherds stopped when they heard the voices in mid-air. Peace on Earth. Jesus himself came into the world to perpetuate World Democracy. "My heart beats with a new movement in thanks to the Almighty for the good things sent to Metropolitan Center Church which at first seemed disguised. But now they are clearly recognized as blessings.

Moore, to fpr twenty years dean and Professor of Philosophy and Education at Howard University, Washington, D. C. will be the orator of the occasion. Dr. Moore is widely known as an Educator, Lecturer and Business man. He is now the National Field Executive of the Lincoln Reserve Life Insurance Corporation and has prominent educational and business connections in New York and the south. His long connection with Howard University, where he organized and developed one of the best known Teachers' colleges in the country, and his extensive and varied scholarship have placed him in the fore-front among Educators. His recent alignment with big business gives him wide and unusual opportunity for the display of his fine gifts as an Orator and Business Executive. He has spoken in this city several times and all who have heard him are anxious for his return. He will speak in the Billy Sunday Tabernacle. Household Questions Wash the flatirons in soda and water before heating. Japanese flower baskets are decorative for standing plants or to use in hanging basket fashion. A blue denim cover to fasten over an ironing board saves the white cover and is good to use when pressing suits. When making cake add two tablespoons of boiling water to the butter and sugar mixture. This plan secures a fine-grained cake with less labor and in no way interferes with the usual recipe. VARIETY NEEDED IN BREADS More Important When Lunch Must Be Carried Than at Other Meals to Avoid Monotony. Variety in breads is more important when the lunch must be carried than at other meals because of the danger of monotony. Wheat bread, whole-wheat bread, corn, rye or oatmeal breads; nut, raisin and date breads; beaten biscuit, crisp baking powder biscuit or soda biscuit, and toast, zwieback, and crackers may be used in turn to give variety.

R C 09 F GIVE DOMINICAN RULE BACK AS CHRISTMAS GIFT (Continued from page 1.) A statement issued by the state department said complete tranquility had existed for some time throughout the republic and the people for the first time in many years had been enabled to devote themselves to peaceful occupations without fear of disturbance. "The finances of the country," the statement continued, "have been placed on a stable basis, great improvements have been brought about in public works, particular attention has been devoted to 'sanitation and public health, the educational system has been completely reorganized with the result that whereas there was a school attendance of about 18,000 pupils before the occupation there are now 100,000 pupils attending school. As the result of the American administration the gross revenues of the republic have increased from a total of some four millions of dollars in 1916 to a total of over seven millions and a half in 1919." It isn't the victory that counts, but it's the way that you put up the fight. It's the way that you travel, as long as you travel it right. It isn't the goal at the top, boys. That counts when the journey is through; But the fellows you've helped on the road, lads. That tell in the balance for you. It isn't the pace that you go, lads. It's the way the fellow who climbs, bit by bit. Who ploops when the others are first, lads. Yet stays when the others have quit. It isn't the smile of the victor. That weaves golden stars for his crown. But the twisted old grin that he gives, lads. The fellow who smiles when he's down. It isn't defeat that will count, lads. Or the things that we gain, you and I. But the way that you shoulder your right. But the heart that we've brought all the way lads. That will count at the end of the trail. -Edna Jaques in Seattle Post-Intelligence.

When Cold It Should Be Placed In Close Receptacle That Has Been Thoroughly Aired—Food Is While cooling, newly baked bread should be lightly covered with a clean cloth or paper to prevent mold germs and dust from falling upon it, but should not be tightly wrapped in a thick cloth, as is the practice in some households, for unless it is aired, when taken from an oven, it is likely to become "soggy" and damp, and thus offer an excellent medium for cultivation of molds, say food specialists of the United States department of agriculture. When cold the bread should be placed in a close receptacle that has been thoroughly scaled and aired. If bread is to be kept for more than two or three days in damp, hot weather, the jar or box should be taken out and summed for a short time now and then, and again scaled and dried. On no account should portions of a former baking be stored with a new batch. Cake and cookies should be cooled after making and kept in tin boxes or in earthenware jars, which, like bread boxes, should be scalded and aired often. Even if these foods are to be eaten at the next meal, it is well to keep them in some such receptacle, as it insures protection from dust. A cake, pudding, or pie that has been left to cool unprotected from dust or files is something that no carehousewife would place on her table, if she stopped to think how easily the food may be contaminated.

State Street PEACE TREATY THAT LASTED Quaintly Worded Document Drawn Up at a Time When Men's Words Evidently Meant Something. The following quaint document is a treaty of peace signed in March 1621, between the English settlers and the Indian braves, at Plymouth, Mass. The treaty was drawn up in a week and, the record reveals, the Indians took an important part in drawing up the covenant. Massasoit "signed" the document on behalf of the rest of his nation, and is the "he" referred to in the six clauses. The white men are referred to in the plural form. "1. That neither he nor any of his should injure or doe hurt to any of the people. "2. That if any of his did any hurt to any of theirs, he should send the offender, that they might punish him. "3. That if anything were taken away from any of theirs, he should cause it to be restored; and they should doe the like to his. "4. If any did unjustly warr against him, they would aide him; if any did warr against them, he should aide them. "5. He should send to his neighbors confederate, to certifie them of this that they might not wrong them, but might be likewise comprised in the conditions of peace. "6. That when their men came to them, they should leave their bows and arrows behind them." This treaty was kept for fifty years without any amendment. Rat Skins for Leather Several rat skins, tanned by a well known naturalist, have been used in making a pair of gloves, though the prepared skins are rather thin and fragile. Some years ago thousands of rat skins were imported from France and made into leather, but the manufacture was not a commercial success. A pair of shoes made from the skin of the rat proved as soft as the finest kilt, but it took six skins to make one pair only the backs being strong enough for use. Making Sure. "What is your opinion on the Ilior question?" "Stranger, I'm seeking votes in this community and before I answer that question I should like to know where you stand?" Belshazzar saw the writing on the wall. "Probably my wife wants more money for the seashore," he interpreted. WHERE THE BIGGEST GAME IS Tourist: My good friend do you earn your living by simply trapping and skinning animals? Trapper: Yep! It runs in the family.

CEMENT! HERS THE WORLD OF SPORTS 1921 WILL BE SPORT'S BANNER YEAR By Dave Wyatt Nineteen-twenty has been one of the greatest years in the history of American sports. Not only did the American youth acquit themselves with a superlative measure of credit but the pastimes were witnessed by crowds of unprecedented proportions and those interested in the financial side of the various athletic ventures prospered as never before. But 1920, good old sport that he has been, is about to pass over the great divide for all time, the records have been filed among sportdoms' archives, to be recalled only for reference or comparison, and the cheers and huzzas now heard are only for the promising infant, 1921. Never was the outlook for a year of splendid sport accomplishment more rosy and financial success for the backers of clean athletics is practically as-sured. The national pastime, baseball, with its professional, semi-pro and amateur clubs dotting the country from ocean to ocean, and its millions of supporters, naturally will receive the major share of attention for many months, particularly so amongst colored people, because the game will begin the new season under a progressive form of organization. When more than 40,000 persons turn out to witness a single football game, no argument need be advanced that this sport has attained a popularity which places it in public favor second only to the nation's pastime, baseball. In fact, if the gridiron game could be played in summer, baseball would have opposition which would give it a fearful jolt, and the millions of dollars which now go towards the support of the splendid college game would pass through the ticket windows at the ball parks. As for boxing, it has received a black eye in most states, owing to the greediness of promoters. The refusal of the Dempsey crowd to give Base Ball Babble There will be no game at Almendares Park today. The league had decided to play the tie games over again, using open data, but this was reconsidered. Games will be played in double headers instead. That means that next Saturday there will be two games between the Bacharach Giants and the Almendares. The Bacharach Giants, according to the latest information, are pretty near ready to throw up the sponge. We were talking to some of them yesterday and they claim that they are hardly covering expenses, and as a result the men are dis-satisfied. Some of them see no money in it but as a matter of fact they will see less money every day unless they play hard and win. It is reported that some of them are ready to go home. This is how the Cuban League stands: G W L T Ave Almendares .....8 5 1 1 2 Havana .....8 3 4 1 1 42 Bacharach .....8 2 5 1 1 2 SAYS LANGFORD IS BEST FIGHTER Ed Wall, best remembered for the goes that he used to stage against such battlers as Ples Hutchinson, Bill Brewster and other tough mug, about twenty years ago, comes to bat with an argument that Langford was the best of all fighters. Wall etes Sas battles running through a calendar from a decision over Gans to a creditors over Kettell and Wills. Wall avers that Sam would have been the best only for bad management Editors note. Many experts declare that Jackson would have proven the best if he had been given a chance. The same is now being said of Wills Jim Corbett says that Jackson was the best; but as fighters seldom, if ever are good judges of another fighters' ability, and as Corbett has flivvered badly upon several occasions as a picker, we are thus inclined to give Walls' opinion a skeptical eye. If what we believe a fighter capable of accomplishing it given an opportunity is to outweigh what fighters actually accomplish after being given the chance, then Langford, like Jackson and Wills is one of the potential best. But say what you may, you can't get away from Johnson, Gans and Dixon. They were given the chance and made good. Contrary to Wall, Wills has a knockout to his credit against Langford and Walcott and Gans registered wins from the lightweight to the heavy weight class. We deplore the fact that Langford and Wills have not been given the same chance that Johnson got.

Wills—one of the greatest and most mainly lighters of all time—a hearing and some of the recent brutalights held in and around New York have shown that the promoters have lost sight of the plea which caused boxing to again be permitted by law—that public boxing exhibitions were necessary to inspire the growing youth to learn to defend himself in a manly way with his fists. The grasping, dodging, scheming promoters should be curbed. Basketball has made giant strides since it was first introduced, and the sport has grown enormously in popular interest until today there is hardly a school or church organization that does not boast of a team. Even the girls have taken it up and the game has been recognized as one of the best in the athletic calendar as a health builder. Basketball is one of the best of sports when conducted along the right lines, for not only does it require stamina and gameness on the part of those playing it, but its qualities are enhanced by the fact that it is a two-handed as well as a two-footed sport, while the basis upon which the game is laid is scientifically correct. The colleges regard the game as one of the best of minor sports, and it is because of their encouragement that it has had such wonderful success. It is to be regretted that the professional end of basketball has not kept pace with its growth among the colleges and schools. Some sort of a league or association appeared to be making giant strides in the East, and rightly conducted, the league would set an example that would be followed all over the country. Yet it has lost prestige, been held back by continual bickering of those behind the clubs, and the unsportsmanlike conduct of the players. The Eastern association is where the National Association of Colored Baseball clubs was 20 years ago. If it has advanced in one particular it has not been evident. THROWING BASEBALL GAME NO CRIME, SAYS COAST JUDGE LOS ANGELES, Cal., Dec. 24. Agreement to "throw" baseball games is not a criminal offense, according to a ruling of Judge Frank R. Willis of the Los Angeles Superior Court, who today dismissed indictments charging W. Baker (Babe) Borton, former manager of the Vernon club of the Pacific Coast Baseball League; W. G. Rumler and Harl V. Maggert, former Salt Lake players, and Nathan Raymond, alleged gambler of Seattle, with having conspired to "throw" games in the 1919 season. Judge Willis not only sustained demurrers led by attorneys for Borton and Maggert, but held that defects in the indictments could not be cured by resubmission to the Los Angeles County grand jury. This was said to mean the end of the case so far as any criminal prosecution was concerned. Judge Willis said the players, in signing contracts with the teams, had entered into an agreement to play baseball to the best of their ability. But, he continued, admitting for the sake of argument, they had not done so, their act amounted only to a breach of a civil contract, and, he held, was in no way "actionable as a criminal cause" Herman Exonerated PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 28—The Portland Boxing Commission exonerated Chet Mcntyre and his heavy-weight protege, Tiny Herman, of charges that some sight-impairing preparation had been placed on Herman's gloves in his recent match with Sam Langford.

The next mixed social and athletic event of the winter season occurs Monday evening, Jan. 5, at 8th Regiment Armory, when the strong St. Christopher Basketball team, of New York City, meets the Forty Club aggregation. The St. Christopher team, in addition to being the most widely known basketball team in the East, has on several occasions been acclaimed Eastern Champions, although they last year lost a hard fought game to the Forty team. The Forty team needs no introduction to Chicagoans, carrying as it does, such international stars as Soi Butler, a member of the world-famous Olympic team. Their latest achievement was an easy victory over Everston Y. M. C. A., which was a social as well as athletic triumph. Following the game, as is the usual program, will be the Forty Dance and with excellent music, and a galaxy of Chicago's music and dance lovers in attendance, the occasion bid, fair to be the most brilliant event of the post-holiday entertainments. HAMPTON DEFEATS Bv E A Wilson BY E. A. WILSON HAMPTON O. A. JACKSON 29. An enthusiastic coach helped the spacious Hampton Institute Gymnasium, as the well-used machines of Shaw University and Hampton Institute began to work out the first decision of basketball for the season. Lytel of Shaw caged the first basket of the game during the first play making the Shaw followers very happy. This was quickly followed by a food bowl thrown by Hardy McLaren secured the first basket for Hampton. The score during the first half remained close until near the end, when Hampton secured a four-point lead. The half ended—Hampton 13. Shaw 9. The second half opened with a dash that electrified the spectators. The forwards of both teams were so closely guarded that only one basket was made by each team during the last half. The Hampton team missed a number of setups, showing that considerable improvement must be made in caging the ball. The passing of both teams was excellent. Hampton had a slight advantage in that department. The game was clean. A spendid spirit was exhibited throughout the contest. The last few moments of play were very exciting, as it was anybody's game until the whistle blew. There was never more than a one-point lead. From the spectator's point of view the game was perfect, and it was one of the fastest seen on the Hampton Institute court in several seasons. Line-up Hampton, 18 Shaw, 17 McLaren, 18 Hardy Long, Cornish, R.F Lewis Bradley, C Stewart Jones, Jeter, L.G Lytel Gunn, R.G Toliver Referee—M. Jones of Norfolk. Length of halves—20 minutes. Score—Hampton, 18; Shaw, 17. BASKET BALL IN THE SPOTLIGHT Things have begun to hum in in basket ball circles these days. The Forty Club, a prominent organization that is now engineering the efforts of the last year's championship five, and at that time known as the Y. M. C. A. cam, have booked a tough proposition for the men who Coach Dr. Al Johnson has been framing for the past three A. B. weeks. The St. Christopher squad of New York are amply fit to stretch the south side floormen to the full limit of their ability and we get it that Johnson is not leaving a stoneurned in the conditioning operation of his charges. The acquisition of Sol Butler to the Forty Club gang of basketballers adds much needed prestige to the game, so with the great Butler packing an athletic process second to none in this broad land, together with the known ability of such men as Bluitt, Anderson and Winters, with the acknowledged popularity of the Forty Club and its many admirers, the hard-wood floor game should at once clamp a hold on all devotees of athletics and make the Windy City to basket ball what it is to base ball. The game is January 3 at Eighth Regiment Armory and with the contest over and the general hand shake of congratulations or the gentle tap on the shoulder of sympathy, whichever the case may be, it has been arranged for all to dance and make merry until 2 A. M. The California Winter League THE CHICAGO WHIP ORTS B The California SAN DIEGO, Calif., Dec. 28 — The game scheduled here last Saturday with Alexander Giants was called off when it was learned that the colored team was bringing a piece line-up to go against the local big leaguers. The San Diego fans want the best that can be found and substituted Tom Downey's all stars to take the place of the colored Giants. Games at Los Angeles All-Stars Again Take on Lincolnns The first series to decide the Winter League championship will be played between the Dyas club and the Lincoln Giants. Both clubs are very evenly matched, the Dyas club having all Coast and major-league players which should result in a fast series—the winner playing San Diego for the championship, the San Diego club having lost only one game to date. In Hubbard the Lincoln club has one of the best pitchers in the game and considered the Alexander of the colored teams, having a great record throughout the East. The Dyas club has added Chadbourne, Mitchell, Alcock and Shellenback of the Vernon Coast League champions, making one of the strongest teams playing winter ball. Frank Shellenback will go against the great Hubbard in Sunday's game, with Chet Thomas of the Cleveland world's champions catching. Game starts at 2:30 p.m. The Lincoln Giants also issue a challenge to the L. A. White Sox for a five-game series to decide the colored championship of the Pacific Coast. The Lincoln took the All-Stars down the line by hitting Ote Crandall rather freely. Baseball In Cuba Almendares Trounce Bacharachs U. S. Boys Play Well But Can't Shake Cuban Hoodoo The strong Almendares club defeated the Bacharach Giants, 12 to 7. It was a lovely game, a great hitting carnival, but the Blues had the best of the argument. They hit timely, and more often than the other fellows. Teran continues to make good on second base for the so-called Bacharach Giants. The feature of the game was the fact that the visiting Giants made only one error. The Blues made five, but their good hitting made up for that. Cuban "Babe Ruth" Torrentine is not hitting so well What's the matter with the Cuban Babe Ruth? He makes a lot of noise when he gets a honer, or a triple, but we have always noticed that they are few, and not often enough for the hitter to deserve such a name. The game was full of life, and it was anybody's game until the seventh, when the Cubans piled up six runs, and that put the soft pedal on the Giants. When will they win another game?

Mendez, the Black Diamond, pitched for the Almendares, and Joe Acosta for the Reds, but they were replaced by Luque and Stewart, respectively. Jimenez played his first game with the Havana team, and made good. Joe Rodriguez and Catcher Abreu made two hits each. Joe secured a triple and a single. Abreu scored a single and a double. They had not done anything like that in a long time. Happy Jack Calvo, the noted police-man ball player got away with a couple of baggers.

Although the football season has not yet come to a close, preparations have already begun for what is expected to be the best baseball season that Talladega has ever known. It may be of interest to Talladega Random to know that practically all of last season's stars are again with us and from all indications are as good as ever. The infield has perhaps been already cinched by last season's men and new comers will have to pull off some amazing feats, when practice begins, to oust some of them from their births. The outfield is yet open but there is a world of material on hand from which coach Bragg can easily make his selections. More baseball players are roosting at Talladega this year than have been for several years back. On the campus one may find baseball players of every description, natural, self made, and born players and it is believed that before the season has far advanced that there will be many an outstanding player. One of the things that will greatly aid Talladega this year is the strengthening of her batteries. Besides the pitching staff of last year there has arrived on the scene of action several new ones who bring their records with them. We have also a good catching staff. Besides playing the leading colleges of its circuit, manager Fonvielle is mapping out an extensive trip on which he plans to visit the states of Mississippi, Georgia Tennessee, Arkansas and probably Texas while negotiations are on at present for the invasion of the Carolinas. All followers of the Crimson and Blue are looking forward to a highly successful season.

Sloan's Liniment (Pains enemy) THE VOICE OF THE NEGRO By ROBERT T. KERLIN Progessor of English, Virginia Mil. Inst. TABLE OF CONTENTS: The Colored Press—The New Era—The Negro's Reaction to the World War—The Negro's Grievances and Demands—Riots—Lynching—The South and the Negro—Lynching—The South and the Negro and Holesheim—Negro Problems—The Lyric Cry. The progress of the Negro Race in America, its share in the world war, and its attitude toward the problems of the day are factors to be recognized in the interests of national unity and harmony, and which echoes throughout the country by the circulation of two dailies, a dozen magazines and more than three hundred newspapers, edited by Negroes and written for by Negroes. Through these mediums the Negro gives reference to his grievances, his aspirations, his demands, in a manner that commands the respect and attention of white Americans. To know the Negro's thoughts as expressed in type and only by reading the Negro press can a realization of his position in National society be gained, and his experiences being brought to bear upon him.

Witnessing the death of the year of 1920 and the birth of 1921, as we ring out the old and ring in the new, with searching eyes we also witness the death of the fears and doubts of black people, we ring in faith and hope. The year of 1921 ushers in a period of unemployment that affects to a serious extent the people with whom we are vitally concerned. The law of action and reaction is now in operation. It is visible with the naked eye. From the abnormal wages and profits of war, from wastefulness and wanton wiles, reaction has brought a reduction in wages, losses, poverty and sober reflection. The white people of the South as usual place the blame upon their darker brothers. "Send them back to Dixie" is the slogan they use. Reasons offered are that large cities should be decentralized, farm lands should be cultivated. They further state that the South is in immediate need of their "favorite labor" and that business and financial depression in the North will not permit the assimilation of black people in its industries. Right here faith and hope begin to play their parts. The black people have faith in humanity to this extent—they do not believe that services rendered in the North during war exigencies can be readily forgotten. Their perilous performances in the manufacture of high explosives and in the labor that was distasteful to other races is the premise upon which they base their faith. They hope that the North is not in sympathy with the lynch laws and other insidious institutions of the South which robs them of the opportunities of other people. They further hope that the ideals of Christianity and democracy as espoused by the North will not become so contaminated and denied as to condone disfranchisement, peonage, technical slavery, discrimination, unfair competition, robbery and murder. Hope survives. The black people have gathered the determination to remain in the North even if faith should be shattered and hope despaired. It is claimed upon good authority that the South is facing the same economic condition as the North and in some instances have been forced to close their municipal industries. It is alleged that the South has plenty of white man power to work their farms and the cotton industry. It is contended that the chronic laziness of the Southerner prevents the development of their essential industries. It is asserted that the North and the West is full of virgin soil and that the black people, being American citizens should be allowed to exercise the option over it in preference to foreigners and immigrants. It is predicted that the period of unemployment in the North is not permanent and the services of the dark-skinned people can be well utilized when the country reverts to normal. It is obvious that the educational advantages and the fuller feelings of personal security would make the North a veritable heaven to starve in if starvation is inevitable. The South may as well "bey at the moon" and cry for the stars, for, unless an industrial conscription is introduced the sons of Ethiopia will remain in the North. They stand with faith, hope, determination and reason. Bring on your torture. TOUCHING THE HUMAN SIDE OF THINGS (Chicago Daily News, Dec. 28.) Wages of Colored People It was only by making an ingenious use of statistics gathered both in Chicago and Pittsburgh that the compilers of the *Preliminary* study were able to compare the wages of white men and colored men in Chicago. In so doing Messrs. Gold and Armstrong reached some interesting conclusions, the average number of persons in families is practically the same for whites and negroes, with whites having slightly larger families than the negroes by $200 that the negroes husband. The negro wife contributes about $5 more to the family budget, or about twice as much as the white wife, but contributes about $200 and $200 more than the negro children. The total average income of the white family is about $500 larger than that of the negro family, and the families according to annual incomes it is found that the largest percentage both of whites and negroes are within the group getting from $1,200 to $1,500. For the United States as a whole the average number of negro families is highest in the $900 to $1,200 group the whites in the $1,200 to $1,500 income When the husband's income is not adequate for the family the wife and children are called upon to assist and lodgers are taken. The couple must be able to provide strength and attention are divided, children are exploited, the family circle is invaded. The study leads to the conclusion that in the family the wife and children are at work, as compared with 2 per cent for the white mothers. As for the children 12.2 per cent are at work among the negroes and the white mothers. As for the children 18.4 per cent of negro homes, as against 5.5 per cent in white homes. The negro family has an income approximating 18.4 per cent than the white family, although the mothers and children work more frequently than in white families and though lodgers are taken more often. In the light of this, the mother wonder that the living standards of negro families are often lower than those of white families? The difference is not merely in money, but in the family privacy and security. The negro mother has less time for her household duties and family nurture. The negro children have less time for school. The negro family privacy and security. The negro mother has less time for her household duties and family nurture. The negro children have less time for school. The negro family privacy and security. The negro mother has less time for her household duties and family nurture. On the whole the negro deserves commendation rather than punishment, because he has achieved under the circumstances." --- --- ```markdown ``` Inst. 1921 No. 1 Published by ING COMPANY (Incorporated) PHONE: DOUGLAS 7623 Editors City Editor Associate Editor Business Manager letters and pictures sent to the CHICAGO the CHICAGO WHIP expressly repudiates any body or return.

For over a half century the Negro people have been called upon to stand the test of the most brutal civilization of the age, and under the stress and strain of American ideals they have watched with bated breath the hypocrisy of America's preachments. No race of people grouped in a similar social and economical environment could have stood the test of such flagrant violations of their rights and privileges as have the Negro. Yet, with patriotic fidelity they have been a power in aiding America to maintain what she is pleased to call the "highest standard of the world's civilization." That the civilization of America is not only much exaggerated, but its preachments themselves contain elements of the most intimous hypocrisy is clearly evident in the every day life of America's citizenry. While this country may claim the superiority of knowledge, the claim is unsustained by justifiable facts. The object of knowledge should be to improve character and to give impetus to more efficiency in the pursuit of high ideals and purposes. No man can claim a superior knowledge unless he can show that he is self-disciplined, and what is true of individuals is correspondently true of races and nations. Nation can lay claim to superior knowledge, culture and refinement whose bands are stained with unholy blood.

Open the Great Lakes to the Atlantic. II. Finish the Lakes to the Gulf Waterway III. Develop a Practical Highway System. IV. Regrow Our Vanished Forests. Without Delay. GUARD THE GATES. The powerful influences which make it possible for the United States to take in many, if not all, races and nationalities, and still keep it from becoming a polygon nation, can be overtaxed. There is no way of determining precisely how much Editorial of the Day If the white races of the world are so sure of their inborn and inherent supremacy, if they are so sure that they are the salt of the earth and the born rulers of human kind, it appears to us as strange indeed that they should fear that their glory will be usurped, their power depreciated, and their worldwide domination seriously challenged. As a general rule, the giant does not fear the pygmy; neither does man, the acme of civilization, fear that his civilization will be oblived by a new order of apes. Should the tribes and clans of the highest developed gorillas seek to overrun the ascendants of humanity, no one would say, "Beware of monkey domination." Man, according to his own concepts, is only a little lower than the angels and the monkey just a little lower than himself. The white races claim that their darker brothers are lower in the graduated scale of their own making than themselves, yet they cry out: "Beware of the yellow serpil and behold the black plague." If the white races possess the keys to knowledge and the passwords to progress as well as the elixirs of strength, why should they fear danger of "black domination" and "yellow dictation"? The white man, even through the maze of his own conceit and out of the trance of his self-hypnotism, sees that "he and his heirs" shall not forever inherit the face of the earth. The black and yellow races are breaking the white man's monopoly of organized brain and wealth. The white man sees this, and in his own bigotry knows that these people are not his inferiors in latent abilities. He knows that the same fire of genius burns in the breasts of the black and yellow races as did in the dark and medieval ages. He knows that black and yellow men can unravel the mysteries of nature and the intricacies of science. He knows that creative and constructive ability has been beaten down by his night, but yet it lives. The white races know that their present achievements are small in comparison with those which will be accomplished. We do not object to the cry of "Beware of the yellow peril and behold the black plague!" It is the involuntary shriek of danger which is a part of man's reaction. White people know that they are not superior to the dark races. They know that the railway about dark people being innately and inherently inferior is nothing more than the outcropping of race prejudice, color hatred, and ignoble fear. They fear that should they lose the power of might and brute force and equal opportunities are gained by the dark people, that they will be deathened and surpassed. We are tired of subterfuge and evasiveness. If the white man wishes to maintain his power at the expense of the dark people of the world, let him cease his prattlings about charity, human kindness, and benevolence. Let him admit that he is afraid of the rising tide of color and fear shakes his entire system. Let the world know that the cry of inferiority and unfitness is not conscientious and that apprehension in themselves are the main springs in the integral and responsible part of the great system of society. America cannot continue to burn men and women at the stake without becoming emersed in the moral sewer of its own deprivacy. This country is predicated upon the fact that knowledge is power, but also are fanaticism, despotism and ambition. Many men are well informed in intellect, but utterly deformed in sense of character. Sowing Seeds of Murder for the Future The home is the crystal of society and the very nucleus of national character. From that source be it pure or tainted come the habits, principles and maxims which govern public, as well as private life. Hence, when a woman is burned at a stake in some of the well governed communities of the South, it leaves its impression upon the minds of the community, both young and old that survive many generations, and their acts become a part of the public opinion of their community.

The living generation continues the magnetic current of action and example destined to bind the remotest past with the most distant future. Thus, the community which burns maliciously, takes a human life today, has placed its imprints of murder upon many generations to come. Do You Approve of the "Whip?"

My bushland had an account at a neighborhood Bank of about $500; he died a few days ago and when I me; what must I do to get it. He had no insurance and the funeral and doctor will take all of that. They said something about a Probate Court. If you have the bank book, take it to your undertaker and I am sure he will be able to adjust the matter with the bank, for that is a very common happening with him. If, however, he cannot arrange to get the money you will have to see a lawyer. I was told five years ago through a letter from my former husband's sister, that he had procured a divorce from me in Nashville, Tennessee and that he was married again. I married about two years ago and have a baby. On Christmas Day my husband came to my home and said that he found he was wrong in leaving me before and had come back to try it all over again, not knowing that I was married. He claims he was never divorced. A lawyer tells me that my first husband is still my husband and that I must leave my second. Is my child legitimate—must I leave my home and can my first husband force me to go back to him? Your first husband cannot force you to live with him. This is a free country—if you have consulted a lawyer you should be guided by his advice. The first thing to do is to find out whether your first husband really secured a divorce in Nashville—the record there will show that. It he did not and there is no record of a divorce anywhere else that you can discover and he denies the divorce you are still his legal wife. You can secure a divorce from him on the ground of desertion wait a year and remarry your second husband. Under these circumstances it is sad to say your child is illegitimate. If your second husband loves you he will pacitely wait until the knot can be untangled and you can begin all over with your baby in ignorance of the situation. Again, if you have consulted a lawyer, be guided by his direction: that is what you pand him for. Wanted Health Hints Dr. Troy Smith. In the prevention of all respiratory or catarrhal diseases such as Influenza, coughs, colds, bronchitis and consumption, etc., we should not forget about the pocket handkerchief. A recent writer in writing for one of the Medical journals has referred to the pocket handkerchief as "a seed sack of death." Let us now consider consumption, etc., we should not forget about the pocket handkerchief. A recent writer in writing for one of the Medical journals has referred to the pocket handkerchief as "a seed sack of death." Let us now consider what he meant by this term "a seed sack of death." Most everyone using a handkerchief uses it to blow their nose on. If they have any respiratory disease such as an acute respiratory disease (meaning a cold), influenza cough or bronchitis at each blow of the nose they fill their handkerchief with millions of germs that cause the disease, and if the user of the handkerchief is careless he soon distributes these germs to his neighbor. A user of a pocket handkerchief should remember that when he discharges his catarrhal discharge upon it, germs can feed and thrive and multiply while as soon as it is dry, every time he takes it out of his pocket and shakes it in the air he distributes his disease in the air and his neighbor or bystander may pick up the same disease. During recent epidemics of respiratory or cataractal diseases the public were told to douche their noses and to gargle their throats. They were told to use masks which probably do more harm than good. They were told to avoid crowds, which were probably unavoidable, and they were given other advice, good, bad and indifferent and yet, nothing was said about that "seed sack of death" the pocket handkerchief and no doubt that it went on spreading the diseases in all directions for almost no attempts was made to sterilize handkerchiefs in the wash. I advise that any patient that really must use a pocket handkerchief and has any catarrhal disease first see to it that their handkerchief is soaked in some disinfectant solution before washing, such as a teaspoon of lysol to a pint of hot water or a few drops of formaldehyde or a bichloride tablet in the same amount of water. These solutions should be handled with care as they are deadly poisonous if taken internally. In the sick room nothing beats the use of paper handkerchiefs. Each time one is used it should be placed in a bag and burned. It would Of The Movement Which Bo building. of The Largest Movement O Chicago. Realty Ass So.

Answer: Yes, provided you can establish complete deser tion on the part of the wife.

Instead of getting the coat he took the money and fled to Canada. What can I do to get back the money on the coat? I know that he had the coats Answer: You cannot compel him to deliver the coat if it was in fact stolen, for the contract was illegal and was therefore unenforceable, especially when it appears that you knew or suspected that the coat was stolen in quasi contract recover a judgment, but this will not aid you much unless you feel reasonably certain of being able to collect it. If you can reach him a few lawyers' letters might prove of greatest assistance. Question: Four weeks ago I engaged a doctor to perform an operation upon my wife. This he agreed to do for $150.00, $100.00 of which was to be paid in advance and the other $50.00 to be paid as soon as my wife became able to perform her household duties. The services to be rendered were those necessary for operation and to restore my wife to health following the same. I was assured that the operation was not dangerous. The operation was performed but my wife died upon the table as she was being sewed up. I am told I paid $100.00 before the operation was performed. Can I recover this back and am I liable for the other fifty? Answer: You cannot recover that $100,000 which appeared to have been for the operation itself. The payment was to be absolute and unconditional upon the outcome of the operation and therefore the doctor became entitled to it immediately upon performance of same. You are not liable for the remainder of this of which was prevented by death and both parties are released from the contract. be a good plan for the public to use paper handkerchiefs and burn them as soon as soiled. This would be a good way to check the spread of catarrhal diseases. ---
