SHELL-SHOCKED SOLDIER SHOOTS THREE MORON ATTACKS GIRL OF 5 YRS. BRUTAL ACT COMMITTED BY GROCER Cabaret Singer's Husband Slays Rival PRICE 5 CENTS Second Assault On 5 Year-Old Child In Six Months. One-Legged Moron Held To Grand Jury. Willard Vaughn, a one-legged grocer at 533 East 37th street, residing at 4911 Wabash avenue, was held to the grand jury in $5,000 bonds in the Harrison street court Tuesday morning for alleged criminal assault upon Gonzella Vincent, 518 East 37th place. The assault occurred in the grocery store operated by Vaughn at the 37th street address at 4:30 p. m. Monday afternoon. Lures Child With Cake The five-year-old girl had been sent to Vaughn's grocery store by her mother. She returned home with a look of horror on her tear-stained face, and holding in her hand a half-eaten cake given her by the grocer. The girl's mother, Mrs. U. S. Vincent, at once scented trouble and began an investigation which revealed blood stains on the child's clothing. Upon further questioning the child told an incoherent account of receiving her assassian. Her reluctance to talk indicated that the one-legged moron had frightened her with threats in case she exposed the incident. Vaughn's Second Offense Detectives from the 35th Precinct station at once accompanied the girl to Vaughn's store where she positively identified Vaughn as her assailant. The grocer made a sweeping denial of any knowledge of the affair. Gonzella Vincent now charges that this is the second attack made upon her by the crippled moron. On the previous occasion she was so thoroughly frightened by his threats that she refused to inform her mother who her assailant was. This happened six months later. This child was placed in a hospital for treatment. She was attended by Dr. T. S. Officer, 4302 Street street. LIBERIA WANTS LOAN IN RETURN FOR NAVAL BASE LIBERIA WANTS LOAN IN RETURN FOR NAVAL BASE MONROVIA, Liberia, March 3.—Reports are in circulation here that Liberia will cede to the United States a naval base on the western coast of Africa in return for a loan which C. D. King, president of the little republic, has gone to America to negotiate. In commenting on the subject, the Nuevo Mundo speculates on the position of Spanish colonies along the African coast if such a project should be carried out. The newspaper argues that an American loan would be the first step towards the establishment of the United States on African soil, and suggests that, owing to their perilous position, Spanish Guinea, Rio de Oro and Fernando Po might be sold with advantage to the United States. As an alternative to such a sale the newspaper says it might be well to ask where the rumored American-Liberian agreement was leading, because "Spanish possession there would be indefensible if an American naval base should be established in Liberia, and Spain would maintain her sovereignty only with the permission of Washington." DRUNK WHEN WED, HE WANTS DIVORCE DRUNK WHEN WED, HE WANTS DIVORCE DANVILLE, Va., March 3.—Last October John Fulton Wells, white, got drunk, and got married soon afterward. This is his complaint in a petition to the Circuit Court for a divorce from his wife, Mrs. Lena Slade Wells, who is colored. He avers that he and his wife went together for some time in Danville, and that they eloped to Philadelphia in order to get married where a union of the races is permitted. Mrs. Wells is now in Philadelphia, because the law will not allow them to live here in peace and harmony. For these and divers other reasons, Wells declares, and especially since absence from his brown-skinned wife has made his heart grow cold, he respectfully asks the court for a divorce. It is believed here that the court will grant Wells' request "with pleasure."

Fuller, who is a railroad worker, as arrested late the night following the alleged confession of an 11-year-old white boy who had been reported as an accomplice to the crime. Conflicting reports did not stop the officers from arresting Fuller, who is alleged to have been the principal offender. Two other colored girls, aged 6 and 11 are said to be the witnesses.

MITCHELL GETS LIFE FOR POISONING NEPHEW MACON, Ga., Mareh 2...M. C. Mitchell, prominent druggist, was found guilty of poisoning his nephew, Henry S. Mitchell, ex-service man, by a jury in Superior Court, Sunday night, with a recommendation of mercy. The Georgia law fixes a penalty of life imprisonment under the circumstances, and Judge Mathews announced he would impose sentence immediately. The state showed that $24,000 insurance was carried on the life of the former soldier, $10,000 of which was with the War Risk Bureau, and on each of the more than a dozen policies, M. C. Mitchell was the beneficiary. Irregularities in the death and burial certificates aroused suspicion, and federal agents investigated the case and obtained an order for exhumation of the body. Chemists testified they found fifteen to twenty grains of a deadly poison in the viscera. Counsel for Mitchell announced they would file a motion for appeal. Trial began Thursday and the case went to the jury at 8:25 o'clock Saturday night. DOCTOR SUES PASTOR FOR SLANDER ALBANY, Ga., March 3.—The Rev. Edgar, pastor of St. James' Baptist Church, is being sued for slander, the damages sought being $1,000, by Dr. E. F. McIntosh, a physician, who says that the preacher has been "camping on his trail" for eight years. The suit was filed in circuit court Saturday by Attorney J. B. White. White declared that his client's reputation as a physician had been attacked repeatedly and without cause by the Rev. Edgar. As an instance, White said that Edgar had told a patient of McIntosh that he would rather have his tonsils "jerked out by a passing bulldog than by McIntosh." The Rev. Edgar denies all the charges and further says he has never had any dealings with McIntosh except of a friendly nature. The physician is not a member of the St. James flock. PERMANENT INJUNCTION IS SUED AGAINST CARE A second permanent injunction against the Entertainer's cafe at 209 East Thirty-fifth St. was issued yesterday by Judge Landis, who previously had closed the place for one year. CRAZED MAN SHOOTS THREE KILLING ONE CRAZED MAN SHOOTS THREE KILLING ONE Discharged From Hospital Before Cured; Imagines He Is Being Attacked. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 3.—Between the hours of 8 and 9 o'clock Sunday morning the peace and quietude of one of the aristocratic colored sections of this city was disturbed by one of the most deplorable tragedies in the history of Washington. Twitty Linwood Harris, an ex-soldier, shortly released from the Walter Reed Hospital for shell-shock, became mentally unbalanced and killed one white policeman and one colored man and seriously wounded another. After a chase which lasted for half an hour or more he was finally cornered at his home, 948 Westminster St. N. W. and instantly killed by three policemen from the 8th Precinct District. On the eve of the investigation of the Walter Reed Hospital, this comes as a warning that the affairs of the Walter Reed Hospital should be thoroughly investigated. This soldier should never have been released from the hospital, as he has been acting peculiarly several days. We find after investigation that a great number of colored soldiers are being released on the community, not being sufficiently cured of their alliances. Why this wholesale release of men who should have every protection possible should be thoroughly investigated, because it is not only a menace to the community but unfair to the noble boys who sacrificed their health on the battlefields of France so that the race might have a place in the sun. GEORGIA WHITES BEAT AND KID- NAP WRONG MAN GEORGIA WHITES BEAT AND KID- NAP WRONG MAN CAIRO, Ga., March 2—H. H. Holder, a well known insurance man and an officer of high standing, went to Valdosta last week, to go from there to Mineola to pay sick claims of policy holders in his insurance company. While there, an unidentified man shot a white man in a quarrel over personal matters. Since Holder was the only unknown colored man in the community, he was immediately set upon by a mob of whites, hustled into an automobile and driven away. The kidnapers carried their unsuspecting victim into the woods a short distance away and inflicted a terrible beating upon him, breaking both of his arms and beating was over Holder was able to capture him. he was not the man they thought he was, and he was finally released. Holder arrived here Saturday night immediately after his release at Mineola. He is a resident of Albany. SOUGHT BETTER MARKET FOR BOOZE: LANDS IN JAIL SHREVEPORT, La., March 3—Paul Lee of Stoner Hill is in the parish jail, charged with the manufacture of moonshine whisky, and with having in his possession a quantity of liquor. He was arrested by prohibition agents Thursday night. Lee, who was suspected, was engaged in conversation by one of the officers, and Lee agreed to meet the officer at the Greenwood cemetery, at 8 o'clock, and sell him a bottle of whisky. The officers secreted themselves in the vicinity where the meeting was to take place, and when Lee drove up in a one-horse wagon, they made the arrest. He had a two-gallon jug of whisky wrapped up in a tow sack. After making the arrest the officers went to Lee's house, where they found a fifty-gallon still in operation, 110 gallons of mash and two gallons of whisky. Lee stated that he had come to Stoner Hill from Belcher, La., because business was dull there, and he had heard that he could secure a better price for his whisky here. Lost In Jail 64 Days, s Released SHIREVEPORT, La., March 3—E. W. Barrett was brought before Judge John R. Land Friday, on a charge of larceny, and there being no evidence to sustain a conviction, Judge Land ordered him released. Earl H. Crane, assistant district attorney, told the court that Barrett was arrested by the police department some time ago, and transferred to the parish jail on a charge of grand larceny. No report of his incarceration had been made to the office of the district attorney. Barrett had been discovered in the jail, and as no list of witnesses or other evidence of his guilt had been furnished the district attorney, he asked that the negro be released. Barrett stated that he had been in jail 64 days, and no one had made an effort to get him a trial. TOO POOR TO PAY ALIMONY SAYS GARVEY NEW YORK CITY, March 3.—In answering the reopening of the case of Mrs. Amy Garvey against him, Marcus Garvey says that he believes the whole thing to be a conspiracy to undermine the various organizations with which he is identified. He sets forth also that he is unable to pay the alimony asked for, for the reason that his income will not permit, notwithstanding the fact that the original complaint against him revealed the contrary. Again he denies saying his personal check for $500 for subscription to the Liberian Liberty Loan. Mr. Garvey is decreed that that Mrs. Garvey is in good health and fully capable of taking care of herself, incidentally saying "that she attends the theatres several times during the week, or at will." He declares also that it is necessary for him to do considerable traveling, in order to help himself and the organizations he represents. It appears to be his opinion that the whole movement is one to destroy him, Garvey, and the Universal and other organizations which he is connected with. The case will be put forward vigorously by Mrs. Garvey's attorneys, regardless of his denials of the facts disclosed. Garvey is represented by Attorney Wilford H. Smith. DR. HAMILTON ASKS DIVORCE DR. HAMILTON ASKS DIVORCE Dr. C. S. Hamilton, dentist, with offices in the Avenue Building, has sued suit for divorce against his wife, Mrs. Artie B. Hamilton, charging his wife with infidelity.

The details upon which Dr. Hamilton bases his charges against his wife are being withheld until after the trial, but are of such a nature as to stir the society. SELMA UNIV. SUFFERS $25,000 BLAZE SELMA, Ala., March 3.—Destruction by fire of the three-story brick structure containing class rooms of the Selma University, well known Negro educational institution, furnished a spectacular blaze at 11:30 Wednesday evening, and jeopardized many buildings in the immediate vicinity, sparks falling over the residence section of the city.

VARNER ALIMONY GREENSBORO, N. C., Feb. 26.—The Federal Court jury, trying the case of Mrs. Florence C. Varner, who sued her husband, Colonel Henry B. Varner, of Lexington, for support, today returned a verdict for the defendant after two days' deliberation. One of the issues required the jury to find whether she was guilty or innocent of the charge of improper relations with Baxter McCrary. The jury answered this affirmatively. The verdict came after the jury had deliberated for forty-two hours and had cast seven ballots. The case followed sensational developments in Lexington, N. C., on the night of August 9, 1920, when a group of citizens are alleged to have dragged Baxter McCrary, wealthy colored man, from under the home of H. B. Varner. A few days later Varner entered suit against McCrary for $100,000, charging him with having alienated his wife's affections, and at the same time instituted divorce proceedings against Mrs. Varner. The divorce was thrown out of court under a technical Mrs. Varner, in November, filed a suit in Federal Court, asking for a reasonable subsistence from her husband and title to a building in Lexington, owned by Mr. Varner, said to be worth $50,000. The trial of the case was begun in Federal Court here February 15, and on February 24, it went to the jury. When news of the verdict was conveyed to Mrs. Varner at a local sanitation center, the collapsed, according torants, and is seriously ill this afternoon. TRANSFORMS ENTIRE FLAT INTO DISTILLERY NORFOLK, Va., March 3.—Two stills, 500 gallons of mash, 600 pounds of sugar, 300 pounds of meal and 3 gallons of corn whisky were seized yesterday morning, when Sergeant J. A. Rawls, Second precinct, raided the second-story apartment of a colored dwelling house at 1208 Calvert street. The two still were running when the officers arrived. Clifford Johnson, 28, who was in the room with the stills, was arraigned in police court on a charge of violating the Mapp prohibition act. The entire apartment was given over to the stills, supplies and equipment, the officers said. They were located in the back room, and consisted of four 20-gallon lard cans, two cans being connected to make one kettle. These were full of mash and on lighted two-burner oil stoves. The front rooms of the apartment contained barrels of mash. In the third room sugar and meal were stored. Johnson, who lived in the house alone, had his bed and one rocking chair in the back room where the stills were captured. There was no furniture in the other rooms.

THOMAS Cabaret Singer's Jealous Husband Follows Lovers And Shoots Rival Dead. A shot rang out through the silent darkness early Wednesday morning and Eugene People, age 45, 3024 Wahash Ave., fell dead, adding one more life to the ever-increasing toll claimed by Chicago's white-lighted primrose path. The killing occurred at the corner of 31st St. and Forest Ave. W. A. Thomas, age 36, 3046 Wabash Ave., had followed his wife, Mrs. Thomas From the Schiller Cafe, 320 E. 31st St., where he had been watching her flirtations with People Mrs. Thomas was an entertainer in the cafe, where nightly devotees of jazz music listened to her songs. Immediately after the shooting Thomas and his wife were taken in custody by policemen of the 35th St. station. The slayer made no attempt to deny the act. People's body was removed to Edward's Undertaking Establishment, 3030 Indiana Ave., where the inquest was held over his body Wednesday afternoon. Tells Of Infidelity. In his confession Thomas said: "For some time I had known that People was making love to my wife, He would meet her each night after the Schiller closed. Sometimes she would not get home until broad daylight." "I waited for them last night at 31st St. and Forest Ave. When they came along I shot People." People is said to have first met Mrs. Thomas when he worked at the Schiller. He was also formerly employed in Griffin's Music Store on State St. VARDAMAN'S SON JAILED AS BOND THIEF VARDAMAN'S SON JAILED AS BOND THIEF MEMPHIS, Tenn., March 3—James M. Vardaman, a son of James K. Vardaman, formerly a United States senator from Mississippi, has been indicted by the Shelby County grand jury for having received stolen property. It is alleged that certain Liberty bonds were stolen, and upon investigation the authorities found sufficient grounds to arrest Vardaman. Friends of Vardaman, who was at the time out of the city, have arranged bond to prevent his arrest. Besides Vardaman, there are five other men, all white, who are also implicated in the stealing. All, of course, deny guilt of the charge of illegal Liberty bond traffic, which will in time be thrashed out by the court. The activities of the secret service and other government officials throughout the county bring to public notice daily scandals, perpetrated not only by the men in ordinary walks of life, but those of high literary and social standing. Vardaman having been a member of the Senate makes the charges against his son of extraordinary character. It will be remembered that while in that great body his only hobby was preaching race hatred. Since retiring to private life there has been little heard of him. It is now the belief that he has something to call his full attention, as the nature of the charges against his son will require much legal action. The general belief is that Vardaman will desire to have all the consideration of a court of justice that an unfortunate Negro longs for, but probably will not ask justice for his son, James M. Young Vardaman is an employee of a bank in Memphis, and it is not stated to what extent this alleged stealing of Liberty bonds has been carried. “UNDER TMP rny wy a .

Newspaper and loudmouthed orators of the black race are look- ing gleefully forward to the Fourth of March when President Hard- ing takes his seat. It is not keeping with fairness to the public, how- ever, to fill the minds of the trusting common people with wild dreams and foolish fancies of what they are going to get out of the new administration. They are going to get no more than the widow's mite and they never will get more until they are intelligently organ- ized and divorced from simpering, selfish, scheming leaders of the Line Johnson ilk. OPER Pe No one gets consolation from calamities by yelling “I told you so.” Nevertheless, stern reminders of the fulfillments of past prophe- sies will probably cause the wretched victims to soberly review their mishaps and avoid in the future the pitfalls which presently envelop them. While every one was in a wild orgy of spending, silk shirts and unwarranted extravagance, the Editor wrote of Bread Lines in 1921. They are here. Avoid them in the future. They reflect in this particular instance more upon the improvidence of the flitting butterflies than they do on the plundering parasites. * ene How long will we be pestered with self-imposed ignoramuses who style themselves leaders and allow our race to be made jest of because of the illiteracy and idiocy of these simpletons? The next time that one goes down to his bosses and gains the favors of the spotlight at the expense of the whole black race he should be repudi- ated in no uncertain manner. . The United Statics speaks of taking the West Indies Islands as settlement from their European Protectors for the War debts. The West Indies Islands are populated in the majority by black people. Judging from the weird tales of the sheltering arm of the United States in Haiti, they will have a serious task to mete out equity to dark people when their delirious minds are filled with hallucinations of perpetual “white domination,” J They still are talking of “John Jones” and Henry Smith and every other member of the black race as a “race man” or a member of “our group.” That is the yellow journals of our people, they use every art and wile to escape the term “black.” Too bad!

That is a mistake. The first essential thing to be learned when accepting a position of responsibility is that you are there to cater (o and please the public and not the public to cater to and please you, It should be borne in mind that the purchaser, at least some ‘of them, are not patronizing the place for the purpose oi social entertainment and it is not a question of courting a elerk, but a purely commercial transac- tian of getting what one wants which is on sale, Of course, the field of clerks, it must be admitted, is limited, and yery often those who desire such help are forced to accept people whose former or carly training did not include Politeness. Por a long’time the fight was waged on the South Side to ac- quaint the business man with the fact that he ought to treat his customers with at least common courtesy. This fight bas been practically won. Now the fight will have to he made to con- vince the employee that prospective Purchasers are cutitled to courteous treatment and at least a pleasant smile. Politeness on the part of the employee facilitates a sale and sends the pur- chaser away satisfied and contented both with the object obtained and with the treatment received.

WILLIAMSON UNDERTAKER GARAGE Dr. E, R. Robinson, well known as the inventor of the locomotive car wheels now in use on almost all of the railroads of the world, has succeeded in carving the case now pending against him before Justice Carter of the Illinois Supreme Court. To close observers of the case this is considered a victory for the doctor. It is said that Dr. Robinson incurred the enmity of railroad magnates throughout the country by winning three judgments of a million dollars each for infringement on his patents. In his efforts to collect these judgments he found himself confronted by many criminal indictments, for the specific purpose, it is alleged, of incarcerating him so that he would be unable to push his fight against the railroad interests. Politics Used to Twart Him. In order to continue his fight Dr. Robinson accepted contributions from the public and gave back notes contingent on the judgments he had secured. Dr. Robinson states that the railroads used political influence to have him indicted as operating a confidence game when they learned that he was accepting money to fight them. Several instances, he says, he found that the players were arbed. After several instances Dr. Robinson he decided to prepare his own court which he has presented to the court. Asks for Supersedeas After conviction by a jury whose foreman he says was formerly general manager for a large railroad operating out of Chicago, Dr. Robinson took his case to the Illinois Supreme Court on a writ of error, which was granted him. Last Saturday he was notified that he had been granted a writ of super-sedees which will stay the execution of judgment on the sentence imposed upon him for operating a confidence game. This means that Dr. Robinson will now be able to fight his case in a court free from prejudice. Stop Experimenting!

Co. ST. LOUIS MO. Phone THE MAYOR OF NEW YORK Coming to Chicago three years ago unknown, Rev. G. W. Baber, the pastor of Trinity M. E. Church, 30th and Prairie avenue, gives a splendid example of what hard work, preparedness plus ability will do for any young man who is willing to pay the price. Rev. Baber, like apostle Paul, is small of statue, but he possesses a magnetic personality, radiates with inspiration and drives gloom from the disheartened and discouraged by his presence and the gospel which he preaches. He has no superiors in Chicago, regardless of age or standing, in the Chicago pulpit. His congregation is filled with both old and young. Some moved, but all returned to listen to this Massian of the colored race. He belongs to one of the largest churches in America and he is developing it with great efficiency. He has a program covering a period of a few years that will mark a new day in the church life in the Negro race. He has the hearty co-operation of our best citizens. It was Rev. Baber who was the pioneer in the relief work for the unemployed and families at his church on Christmas day, when he fed over one thousand men. Rev. Baber was sent to Trinity through the blood vision of Dr. Bryant, the pastor of South Park Avenue Church, who is big enough to desire to see young men of ability pushed forward and not be kept in seclusion until their heads are hoary with age and their energies dissipated so that they cannot give effective service to a people who need active brains. Rev. Baber, like a man of any consequence, has many friends and enemies, has fought vice of every kind, condoning no evil. He has cried aloud and spared not. He is not a "fighting parson," he is a reformer. Rev. Baber's character is above reproach. His loyalty to his God and family is unquestionable.

The Gallilee Circle royally entertained its members and the church officials at a reception last Tuesday evening, given in honor of the former president, Mrs. Rivers.

Williams Stirs a Prodigial—Thousands Hear the Sermon At Olivet Baptist Church, Sunday morning, Reverend L. K. Williams spoke from Matthew v. vi. and vii. chapters. The 11th and 12th verses of the first was the general text: "Blessed are you when men shall revile you and say all manner of evil things about you for my name's sake, etc." The eminent speaker well exposed the triumph of those who are persecuted for their good works on account of the inherent tendency toward malice in those who really hate them for their good report and excellent works. It so happened that in the front seat of the vast auditorium sat one who had been instrument in circulating adverse reports of the pastor and the church activities during the year passed. Which charges were successfully refuted and proven utterly ungrounded. Hundreds watched this person as he sat there near the front and seemed affected by the calm, clean and convincing words of the preacher as he quoted Biblical passages and compared them to examples in every day life. No bitterness was evident. Extracts "Wicked men naturally dislike those whose principles are higher than their own." "You are cursed if you succeed and you are cursed if you do not succeed." "A righteous man is a standing indictment against men that are wrong." "Luke: 6-20th. Woe urtio you when all men shall speak well of you." "John 15th, 18th. If the world hates you, you will know that it hated me before it hated you. God does not work according to man's plans, but according to his own. A slanderer is a curse—but no reply is worse. Yet the attitude of a Christian should be that of no resistance." Our advice is "Keep On! Keep On! Doing Good!" The series of lectures upon isms in churches: Eddyism, Doweyism, Brigant Younism, Spiritualism and Hooliganism before the end of the author in Olivet each Sunday evening beginning February 27th. The pastor stated that he has first hand information about the workings of each "ism." For an instance, he went to a spiritualist. She told him "You lost a son in the war"; she then "called him up." And in view of the fact that the pastor's only son is a lad of only fourteen years of age or thereabout, and yet very much alive and well, it demonstrates the wonderful art of spiritualism. This church fed over one thousand persons during the week past. Business Girls' Club The Business Girls' Club met Wednesday, February 23rd, in the Blue Triangle Club Rooms. After the business meeting a delightful supper was served by the Misses Jeanette Whistnant and Jessie Matthews.

Horace George and his Jazz Band was fair and Mr. George's playing of the three clarinets at one time was really a wonderful piece of art. The shimmingy and the monkey shine stuff should be eliminated as all the boys are good musicians and could easily get away with good novelty style of playing. Mamie Smith was a stellar attraction. Yes, she was the one who packed the house. She is really an artist and looks good in her five thousand dollar gowns. Her band is not as good as I heard it play in Washington some few weeks ago, but nevertheless they did pretty well in her song accompanying and their jazz playing was appreciated by the crowd. Miss Smith cleverly sang a mummy song which goes to show that she is versatile along the sentimental line. THE GRAND. Doe Doe Green and company are doing good business on the second week of their run "In Mexico," a great little laughing piece. Miss Henrietta Lovelace, a fine soprano singer, is winning much favorable comment on her beautiful song rendition. The chorus is well groomed and efficient.

Both of these boys are real foot artists and will always stop the show wherever they may be. There is some good work by several of the performers and to appreciate a good show like this, I say go to see it. THE MONOGRAM A good vandevillie bill is presented here this week, acts on the bill are Johnson and Rector, Wiggins and McDonaiah and Boykin and Hooftt THE CABARETS. Ioe Oliver's Jazz Band is a distinct feature at Bottomi's Dreamland cafe and clever Alberta Hunter is still singing in her own original style. The little lady who features the Royal Garden Blue is rapidly improving after undergoing a severe operation. It seems as if the white patronage is about to freeze out our people, judging from conditions on last Sunday night. Hundreds of our people were turned away because the white element from the Entertainer's cafe had frozen them out. I would suggest to the management of this place to discourage such mixed patronage as sooner or later it will tend to cause a disruption. Dreamland is our own amusement place and in the past one of the best conducted in the city and to uphold that reputation it would be wise to stop and think what might happen if the present policy is made definite. The Royal Gardens over on East Thirty-first St. is still doing great business. May Brady's Jazz Band is quite an asset to this place and the system established by Mr. Virgil Williams cannot be excelled. The different feature program nights are always crowded. Give Virgil Williams a visit, you won't regret it. WITH THE ACTORS Chas, Gilpin, the dramatic star, playing the leading role in Emperor Jones, has been tendered an invitation to the dramatists' banquet, an annual event in honor of the ten most popular artists of the past year. Doe Doe Green and company, now playing at the Grand, Chicago, are rehearsing a new show. Green and Bailey are working in and out of the city on the W. V. M. A. time. Andrew Copeland, the actor, is in the city for a few days rest. He took in Mamie Smith's show on last Sunday. Rosamond Johnson and his company are at the State-Lake Theater, Chicago, this week. Music Notes One must enjoy what one does if the greatest amount of good is to be secured from it and the frame of mind in which one is when he studies music if any kind reflects itself in the amount and quality of work performed. The student must not be afraid of difficulties and must constantly bear in mind the fact that overcoming one difficulty brings strength for another. Another that must always be to the front and that is that certain habits must be firmly established in the practice of music before there can be any great amount of enjoyment from it. Even the habits of walking and of safely and correctly conveying our food to the mouth were the products of much prolonged effort and this probably was accomplished when one was very young, the fact is still undisputable that there is no royal road to the highest form of attainment in any line and surely not in the art of music Unenitting, intelligent study and practice—governed of course by common sense as to the time and length—are the basic elements of success in any branch of music and this fact should be carefully considered and carried out if success is desired. The recital given by the Chicago University of Music on Thursday evening, Feb. 24, in the auditorium of the Wendell Phillips High School was enjoyable and praiseworthy. Through its competent and energetic president, Miss Pauline James Lee, this school of music is to be congratulated and commended for the excellence of the program. As a whole the concert was very good and special mention should certainly be made of the singing by Mme. De Witt Smith, soprano, the work of the Morris Glee Club, the saxophone duet of Messrs. Lacy and McFarland and the piano solo by Stanley Fuser, Jr. "SHOULD A WOMAN TELL?" At the States Theatre, Saturday, March 5, with Alice Lake. It presents one of the most perplexing and at the same time most human, vital problems a woman is called upon to face. The question of whether or not to reveal to the man she is to marry, an incident of her youth. Featuring William Faversham, at the Vendome Theatre, Sunday, March 6. Two Ace Artie had been run out of every camp in the north. Gambler, blackleg and general "bad man" was his reputation. Accused of a crime of which he was innocent, he turned suspicion toward another innocent man. He was free to go but something seemed to hold him back. The story of how the still small voice of conscience rang like a clarion call and awakened a soul that slept. COMING NEXT WEEK "The Passionate Pilgrim" at the Vendome Theatre. A cosmopolitan production with an all-star cast. Out of the past he came—a past crowned by fame and blended by prison—and plunged again into life as an unknown press reporter. Plunged into a whitpool of politics, graft and intrigue, and fought the greatest fight of his life for a girl who did not know him until— A romance that runs the gamut of love and a great city's "inside" affairs.

THE CHICAGO WHIP Manie Smith and her all star Jazz Revue stormed the town on last Sunday at the matinee opening of her organization. The vaudeville bill presented was fair, but the prime attraction was Manie Smith and her Jazz Players. Ministreal Morris, the juggler, opened the show and displayed wonderful skill in juggling and his comedy during the various tricks was very entertaining. Parker and *Mack*, a first class singing and talking team, pleased and would have registered 100 per cent had they not used one smutty phrase in a song by the young lady, who is a good singer. Sam Cook and Speedy Smith in a neat offering, displayed much art in their characterization of the Chinese and the colored gent. The setting is in the street in front of a Chinese laundry. The colored gent loses his check and the Chink refuses to give up the laundry. There are wonderful laughs throughout the dialogue and the boys responded to three curtains. Billy Nichols, the minic, scored in imitations and registered a hit. Green and Pugh presented a nice act and got over good. The boy with the Geo. Walker feet is an excellent dancer.

"PAYING THE PIPER" George Fitzmaurice's sensation, at the Vendome Theatre, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, March 3-4.5. She was all the moralists scorn in New York's idle rich.

In all its alluring adventure, all its reckless pleasure, all the staggering price she paid to Satan who piped while she danced and loved. A gorgeous epic of metropolitan fashion.

I. Taylor recently signed the papers that gives the A. B. C.'s owner a four-year tenancy on the palatial Hoosier park. There was never any danger of the playing field getting away from the hustling Hoosier promoter, but in order to still the activities of the busy bodies that want to look Indianapolisward with everything—good or bad—that has a tinge of baseball attached to it, C. I., thought this the opportune time to spike the horn blowing of sensationalists and other pests that infest the national game amongst our clan. Two Holdouts Taylor has the greater portion of his men signed for the coming season's race and the roster looms up as a formidable aggregation as contenders for the big honors. Many of the A. B. C squad have been in regular baseball all winter on the Pacific coast, while others have retained their athletic form in games in Cuba. Taylor intends to carry his men through a stiff training period in some part of the South, an will land a regular training camp, either at Mobile or Montgomery, Ala. The plans call for work in the balmy breezes of the South to extend from March until the first of May. The delinquent players are expected to be in the fold shortly and the full line-up of players that will represent the Hoosiers for the coming campaign will be announced. PALM BEACH RESULTS JOHNSON GOOSE-EGGS BREAKERS Lieutenant Is Supreme in 1-0 Tilt with J. Williams Over-sea heroes, Lieut. Johnson, Malarcher and Bobby Williams were the flies that pestered the Royal oint- ment when the former, hurling for the Poineianas, lived right up to his over- sea prestige for hand-grenading the enemy, while his aids kept up a barrage lasting one hour and thirty-five minutes, in which the enemy was driven back into the dense palm thickets, while Gen. Foster, Capt. DeMoss, Lieut. Johnson and fighter advanced to a terrorous battle by a count of five games to two. The Breakers are but a few miles removed from the ocean, and fierce and continued fighting will ensue from now on, but it is hoped that the great leader, Lloyd, and his squad will save themselves from the last res- ort—the Atlantic—in order to avert an overwhelming victory on the Ameri- cers.

RAILROADS WON'T CUT FARE FOR BAIL PLAYERS FOR BALL PLAYERS CINCINNATI, March 1.—The Cincinnati National league baseball club was informed yesterday by President John A. Heydler of the league that the railroads had rejected the appeal of organized baseball for reduced railroad rates during the playing season. It was stated that the advanced fares would apply to all the clubs, no matter how many would be in the traveling parties. HOTEL TEAM IN 4-4 TIE All But Done, Chicagoans Spurt and Deadlock with Breakers After jumping out in the lead in the second frame, Foster's Ponciana team was caught in the third inning, passed by a three-run lead in the fourth, and absorbed the dust from the hoofs of the Breakers for three long innings. It was the lucky seventh, that same old inning in which the Windy City fans long ago have been primed to look for the real big things that usually exude from the Foster-DeMoss trick bag. The Americans did not win but they made up enough of the lost ground to deadlock the proceedings, thereby sending the larger portion of the wealthy fans away satisfied. It was this way: After a blank in the first inning, the batting order had worked down to Dixon, who worked pitcher Roberts for a pass. Grant was hit by a throw and walked. Malarcher beat the air for an out. Lyons gained a pass, his act or good fortune filling the bases. With a flying start Dixon scored from third, but Bobby Williams was killed at first, making two out, and DeMoss's infield fly ended the inning. The one run was tied in the third, on two baggers by Francis and Douglas. In the fourth Hall opened the fireworks for the Breakers with a slant to center, an infield bobble walked, filling the bases. At pitcher Roberts hit, scoring two men, one on at third, Barbells two sacrifice fly scoring him. The Breakers tab standing four to one the Poincias, Marshall was wanked and Tom Williams went to the mound. He stopped the Breakers to a dead still. After going scoreless for four frames, Demos urged his men to the limit of their ability. In the seventh Warfield walked, Gardner cracked one to left, Dixon followed with a drive around third which Francis failed to retire him on, and one run counted on the play. Grant hit one that CINCINNATI LEAGUE TEAM CUBAN CUBAN CUBAN CUBAN CUBAN CUBAN CUBAN CUBAN CUBAN Ever since Bancroft, the veteran business manager of the Cin. National League Club, invaded Cuba more than a decade ago, putting the Cuban ball players next to the game, the Ohio city has had a warm spot for the Island players.

THE MAKING OF A CHAMPION The Making of a Champion The making of a Champion Nowadays when everyone goes in for boxing seems to imagine he is going to become a champion of some kind, one frequent fear the following questions "Should I make a good boxer?" "How can I develop into a first-class man?" etc. etc. To become a champion two things are required: right human material and proper training. At the present time there are two distinct types of boxers in the Ameri can ring. One is the real, aggressive gallant, game fighter, who always does his utmost to win in the most decisive manner, and the other is the shifty crafty, slippery, evasive tango staller who tries to fool the public and collect big financial guarantees under false pretenses. Real fighters have always been honored and idolized by followers of the ring. The hippodromers finally tade away to obscurity and disgrace, and are soon forgotten. There are dozens of real fighters—black and white—in the ring at present, but the vast majority of them never come to the front because they have failed to make a proper study of the manly art and become skillful ring generals. These boys may have all the grit, vigor and fine essentials for a champion, but they waste their blows and strength either in clinching, wrestling or with wild swings in the air. Need of Boxing Skill What good is all the gameness in the world if you don't know how to hattle cleverly? What good is a stiff knockout punch if you can't land it? What's the use of taking a lot of gruelling punishment if you can't hand your allowed a score, while Reese jolted one for two sacks, hitting for Lyons, tying up the doings, where it remained.

CHEERFUL NEWS NEW YORK, March 1.—Messrs Wilkins & Connors after talking over their plans for the coming season, both are imbued with the idea that the Bacharach Giants cannot lose the colored championship this year. "We figure it this way," said Mr. Connors to a representative of the press: "The Bacharach Giants have been strengthened since last year. We are going to be better in catching, better in pitching, stronger on the defense and just as strong at least in hitting, if not stronger. We have a team that is improving all the time. "We figure by having nearly all of last year's team, that we have some advantage over the other clubs, who have made quite some changes in their lineup for this year. Everyone tells us that the signs point to a big baseball year, and you can depend on it that the Bacharach will do their share in providing good sport." CUBAN STARS. a veteran business manager of the Cin. Nati players next to the game, the Ohio city has represent the National Ass. of Colored bas KING OF HAMPION The WHITE SC The Los easy picking Age of Experts Joe Gans was a real tighter when he wanted to be. But we are sorry to say that the great Joe did not always extend himself or endeavor to win by too great a margin. He often allowed a second rater to go along with him in ten or more harmless, easy rounds when he could have easily defeated or stopped him in a canter. So Gans was a clever mixture of both the fighter and staller—which ever suited his purpose best. This is the age of experts in most every line of life, and except a man is absolutely proficient in his vocation, he certainly has a hard road to travel. It's often a mystery why some people expect to be homeworld beaters when they have no real pugilistic science or expert knowledge of the game. So why should they waste their vitality and nerves to become fisticchamps if they are not proficient in the manly art? LOOK HERE FANS COLUMBUS, O., March 4.—The announced and settled fact that we are to have a baseball team second to none to represent this city—the starting point of so many of our great men of the National game—has aroused the deep interest of persons in all walks of life. In fact, interest in the coming season's events in baseball has fastened such a hold upon us that it appears that each and every citizen has appointed themselves a committee of one and is heading a booster's movement. John Settles, pioneer in baseball circles and front runner in booster movements, will have an important announcement soon. That the women folks are interested is revealed by the following letter: "Mr. Sol, White, "Baseball Contest, Mgr. "Dear Sir:—Permit me to present the name 'The Eagles' as a title for the baseball team. I choose this name because it speaks for itself.

HAMPTON DEFEATS HOWARD 21-18 HAMPTON, VA., March 1.—The Howard University basketball quintet journeyed to Hampton for the annual Washington's Birthday clash, confident of victory. During the final minutes of play in the first game the wonderful Howard spirit turned a certain defeat into victory. The fans of the Lower Peninsula were out in force to cheer their favorites on to victory. It was not in the final moments of the game that great playin' was done, but at the sound of the referee's whistle there began the hardest, fastest, and one of the most closely-contested struggles ever witnessed at Hampton. The defensive work of both teams was par excellence. Baskets were shot under the greatest difficulty. So closely were the teams matched that the first half ended with the score 9 to 9. At the sound of the timekeeper's whistle, with the score 21 to 18 in Hampton's favor, the student body cheered wildly and left the spacious gymnasium happy, feeling that this was the ending of a perfect day.

BASKETBALL WAIL FROM CINCY CINCINNATI OHIO, March 1.—A game had been scheduled between the Cincy Y and the Loendi basketball sound as early as January, but the Pittsburghs assumed unbeaten methods, supposedly for a dodge of the contest, but later developments has the Smoky City cagemen trudging the trail of the filthy here, with an utter disregard for that true sportsmanship that is commonly supposed to exist in this particular sport. Loendi offered to send a patched-worked line-up to go against the invincible "Y" team here, and were promptly turned down. The Queen City team is one of the best that the country has produced. They have eight victories and no defeats so far; and having defeated all of their own clan, have invaded the field of the whites, and have been just as successful. The cloud of seeming professionalism that has hovered over the activities of the Loendi team this season, as well as others, has given hasketball a black eye, viewed from a strictly amateur standpoint, and their acts demonstrates the necessity for a thorough house-cleaning ere the sport falls into bad repute as a result of their acts.

The Weeks Best Editorial One sure sign of the advancement of the black races of the world is that they have at last produced a great man. At last they have produced without the assistance of the white man a leader whom they themselves created and followed without the official O. K. of the outside world. It is true that there have been many great men of African descent, but they were made great by those without the fold. Fred Douglas, Booker Washington, W. E. DuBois were not recognized as great men before the white races began to take notice of them and made them the subjects of cajolery and pampering. Greatness does not necessarily mean goodness. A man is great because the people say that he is great. Napoleon was a great man but not a good man. His genius was recognized by the people and he was proclaimed their leader. A man may have all of the qualities of genius and leadership and yet fail to achieve greatness and recognition. The black people have been reluctant in selecting and choosing their leaders and making their own great men. In all cases with one probable exception, the white men have echoed the greatness of certain black men, and they were then followed by their own. At last a new day dawns, a distinctive mile post in the course of race evolution has been reached. We have at last become independent in thinking and action. We have thrown off enough of our mental fetters to realize that we alone are in position to decide upon the men to lead. When the people say that a man is great, he is great. When a man has enough influence to persuade four million people to follow in his train, he is a great man. His followers have made him great. The fact that he is great does not mean that he is right. The Kaiser was a great man, but he was wrong in his theories. Time always tempers the judgment of the people and proves whether or no the doctrines of great men are sound. The time element, however, does not, however, depreciate the present greatness of the men. The Black People have seized the preachments of one of their kind and are raising their eyes unto him for direction in the affairs of their temporal lives. They have proclaimed Marcus Garvey a great man. They and they alone made him great and he is the first in the history of the Black People of America who has been made great by his own people. Four million follow him. The fact that ex-slaves are beginning to realize that they must work out their own problems, that they must think for themselves and fight their own battles is encouraging. The sleeping giant is awakening. It is hoped that Mr. Garvey, in his greatness, will prove his goodness and fitness. The eyes of the world are upon him. He is the first of his people that they, themselves, and they alone, have made great. It is truly a precedent. The Weeks Best Editorial MOB RULE AGAIN. Atlanta (Ga.), The friendishly brutal burning of a Negro in Oconee County, near Athens, Wednesday night by a mob of Oconee and Clarke County citizens, constitutes not only a blot upon the character of the community where the lynching actually occurred, but a disgrace to the "Classic City" of Athens—the leading educational center of Georgia—to the state, and to the entire south. This victim of the mob's fury was accused of a heinous crime committed in Oconee County, just over the line from Athens. He was arrested Wednesday in Athens and lodged in the Clarke County jail—one of the most substantial institutions of that kind in the state. That night a mob that had been assembling during the afternoon and evening smashed plate glass windows to gain entrance into the courthouse.

The fac crime has laws and munity a grievously of lynchers to uphold on the top floors of which the jail is located—with blow torches burned its way into the jail itself, dragged its cowering victim from his cell, took him by automobile to the scene of the crime, and there bound him to a stake, piled wood about and burned him to death while he begged for mercy and protested his innocence. Advices from Athens are to the effect that the sheriffs of both Clarke and Oconee counties, with a corps of deputies, were in another part of the courthouse throughout the visit The Churches Quinn Chapel Notes.

Constitution. of the mob, but knew nothing of what was actually going on; although the natural assumption is that they did know that the mob had been assembling throughout the afternoon, and that they might have anticipated its purpose. Probably there are no citizens of Georgia who more deeply deplore this disgraceful and horrifying occurrence than do those officials, whose sworn duty was to prevent it, even if necessary, at the peril of their own lives. But their regrets do not help matters. The fact remains that a ghastly crime has been committed, and the laws and the fair name of a community and the state have been grievously outraged by a lawless band of lynchers while the officials sworn to uphold the dignity of the laws and courts were technically asleep at their posts of duty. Whether "technically asleep" or not, those officers were not alive to their duty, otherwise such a thing as this would not have happened! And it is to be hoped that this shameful manifestation of the mob spirit will be a lesson to sheriffs and police authorities everywhere in Georgia—a lesson teaching that the way to prevent a lynching is to anticipate it, and the time is when the mob is gathering.

Moore, Attorney at Law. PARKER Ques. I had a lease on a piece of property from May 1, 1919, to May 1, 1920. Since my lease has been out the landlord has continued to accept the rent each month at the same rental and nothing has been said about the lease or about any new lease. Did the old lease reong long is it good for? have any notice to how long a notice? the old lease renew itself, and how long is it good for? Would I have to have any notice to move and if so how long a notice? Ans. In the absence of rebutting circumstances your lease would renew itself for another year, namely, from May 1, 1920, to May 1, 1921. This is apparently true in your case and your tenancy would be good until May 1, 1921. You are a tenant under a lease until that time. The landlord has the right to refuse to renew your lease at that time if he so chooses. No notice to you is necessary as you are a tenant under a lease and notice to vacate is not necessary at the expiration of a lease. Ques. While my little boy was out playing with some other small boys one of them jumped on him and beat him, pushing him down several times in the mud and ruined a new suit which I had just bought. I know this boy's father. How can I make his father pay for this suit. Ans. You cannot force the father to pay you for this suit unless you can persuade him to do so of his own volition. Parents are not legally liable for such torts of their minor children. Ques. If a man has lived with a woman unmarried and acquired property in which her name has been attached to the deeds, as his lawful wife, they then separate and divide same which is on separate deeds, one taking one and the other taking the deed to the other property. If he then marries and wants his property in hand on his lawful wife, how can this matter be settled? The deed has been recorded. Ans. I presume that when you separated, no releases were signed on either of the deeds but that you merely took the deed to one piece of property and gave her the deed to the other. I presume also that you are now lawfully married to another party. If this is the case, the easiest way for you to arrange the matter is to get in touch with the woman and have her execute a release to you on the piece of property which you agreed to take and you can in turn execute a release to her on the piece of property which she was to take. I should advise that you consult a lawyer in your local city and have him properly execute such releases and you can then have recorded. You should certainly meet with no opposition on her part as her title to the piece of property which she has is certainly no better if even as good as yours. Ques. An automobile which I was driving was struck and damaged by a Yellow cab. It was entirely the fault of the cab driver, but I have been told that it is impossible to win a suit against the Yellow cab people. Is this true? Ans. The above is a popular misconception. The Yellow Cab Co. possibly has men who are well versed in such accident cases, but if you have sufficient witnesses to establish the fact that the accident was due to the fault of the cab driver, it will not be difficult at all for a lawyer to obtain a judgment against the Yellow Cab Co. You are entitled to have your case heard by a jury of twelve men whom your attorney has as much power in selecting as attorneys for the Yellow Cab Co. Unfortunately, however, these cab drivers probably stick together and will help each other out in attempting to place the blame on the outside party and probably in many cases thus defeat many meritorious cases, but in a case where you have sufficient evidence to establish the fact that any particular accident was due to the negligence of the employees of the Yellow Cab Co. you will find TME CHICAGO WHIP OF TH ind The Throne.

Sproul, Penna.:—Gentlemen you can put me down as being opposed to the K. K. K. Gov. Davis, Ohio—The K. K. K. is no friend to the Negro or to the nation. It should be wiped out. Gov. Miller, New York—I am opposed to the K. K. K. Gov. Edwards, New Jersey—The K. K. K. will not succeed. Mayor Hylan, New York—The K. K. K. died years ago and it should stay buried. Governor Small, IL—Let the Negro alone. He is doing well and will do better. Sen. New, Ind—There is no necessity for a K. K. K. Sen. Watson, Ind—The K. K. K. is dead. I shall do all in my power to see that it remains so. Sen. Lodge, Mass—The colored citizens of this nation have made wonderful progress; naturally I would be opposed to anything or organization that would attempt to intimidate our colored citizens. Gov. Coolidge, Mass—The K. K. K. does not stand for law and order, so I am opposed to it. Sen. Penrose, Penna—I am opposed to anything the K. K. K. stands for. Sen. Willis, Ohio—When I was governor of Ohio I gave Wilber King the most responsible position ever held by any member of his race. I am opposed to any organization that would interfere with the progress of any colored citizens as they are good and patriotic citizens. Sen. Leenroot, Wis—Put me down as opposed to the K. K. K. Sen. Johnson, Cal.—The K. K. K. is not useful nor helpful. Sen. Edge, New Jersey—The K. K. K. is not in accord with the constitution. Sen. France, Md.—I am opposed to the K. K. K. that a competent attorney will have no difficulty in recovering for the same. The Yellow Cab Co. probably profits very greatly through this belief on the part of the public, for, though in some cases, they may be favored with unjust verdicts, this general and widespread misconception tends to discourage suits against them and in many cases it thus probably saves the money from damage suits.

Anderson, Attorney at Law. Dear Miss Anderson: Ten years ago my husband embezzled money from a man who was working with him and myself, to the amount of $10, and left the country without my knowledge. Since then I have not heard a word from him. I learned 'from his mother recently that he will be coming back here shortly. Can I join with the man he amount of $10, and left the country without my knowledge. Since then I have not heard a word from him. I learned from his mother recently that he will be coming back here shortly. Can I join with the man he has robbed and have him punished? I am in company with another man and don't care to separate from him. E. T. No; he did not rob you of anything but his companionship. If you mean that you are living with another man, you had better stop it, or you will yourself be liable to prosecution for adultery when your husband returns. Dear Madame: My husband left me a year ago and told me that the house we own could be mine—that he did not want any part of it. It is in both our names and when I tried to sell it, I was told that I would have to have his signature. I can't find him now. What can I do? ELLA A. Nothing, until you get his signature to the deed. You should have had him convey it to you legally before he left. Dear Madame; I moved into an apartment two years ago and built an enclosed porch on the back. The house was sold recently and when I attempted to remove the enclosed porch, they told me that I could not do so. Is this true and why? Yes; you cannot remove the porch because it has become a fixture on the premises. The house was purchased with that porch, and will have to remain when you leave. Dear Miss Anderson; My husband has been slipping around with another woman, and I caught them together about six months ago in her bedroom in bed. After that he promised to do the right thing and I forgave him and he came back to me again. Now he is beginning to ill treat me again and I want to get a divorce. Can I do so? G. W. P. You cannot secure a divorce on the ground of adultery unless you know of another instance since the one you tell me of. When you forgive him you barred action on that ground. If the ill treatment consists in actual physical violence you can get a divorce on the ground of cruelty. My wife, according to her own confession, has been guilty of intimacy with another man but I have no other evidence than that. Now she says she will sue me for divorce and get alimony. Will I be able to keep from paying her alimony if I can prove the adliory? THOMAS C. I just recently got my divorce here in Illinois, and I have a chance to marry again in another state and live there. Will the marriage be legal in that state? Health Hints By Dr. Troy Smith Mr. A. writes: When I was in the army the doctors took some blood out of my arm and examined it. They told me it was "one plus." What does the term "one plus" mean? They injected some medicine in my arm with a big syringe for the severe headache that I had at that time. My headaches entirely disappeared, but I notice that the plus." What does the term "one plus" mean? They injected some medicine in my arm with a big syringe for the severe headache that I had at that time. My headaches entirely disappeared, but I notice that the headaches are coming back on me now. Please advise me what to do as these headaches nearly ran me crazy when I had them? Do you think it advisable for me to take some more of these injections called 606? Answer: Young man, I can fully appreciate your situation in this matter. I would advise you to have your blood tested again. In that way you can get a line on the amount of infection there is in your blood. When the army doctors drew blood from your arm and tested it they were making what is known of as the "Wassermann blood test." They suspicioned that at some time or other you had had a syphilic infection or some years ago had a chancre. The term "One plus," "Two plus," "Three plus" and Four plus" are quantitative expressions used to indicate the degree of intensity of the reaction, of which the term "one plus" represents the minimum and "four plus" the maximum of intensity. Either of the "plusses" mean that your blood is positive, i. e., you have the germs of syphilis in your system. When your blood is negative it means that there is no reaction, and as a rule there is no syphilis germs in your system. The headaches that you complained of were due to the fact that the poisons from these germs were affecting your brain and producing what we call in medicine cerebral irritation. The reason that your headaches disappeared after these injections of 606 was because the medicine killed the germs and the poison. The headaches are now coming back on you because you have not kept up your treatments. You should not stop at what treatments they gave you in the army, because it takes from two to three years to cure you of this trouble. You should put yourself under the care of a good physician and follow his advice. Do not get discouraged over your condition as often it takes, as stated above, treatment at intervals of two or three years. In all probabilities you may not have to take any more 606 but should have some medicine for your condition. That depends on the marriage laws of that state. My cousin died recently leaving three children and two grandchildren, sons of a dead child. He always told me that he intended for me to have some of his property when he died, but he left no will. Can I claim a share of what he left? No; the children take equal shares in the property, and the grandchildren, sons of a dead child, divide their dead mother or father's share. You are not entitled to anything by the laws of descent. All questions gladly answered. Address The Whip, 3420 S. State St. Judge Crowe Making Good Promises By A. N. Fields The vigorous attitude of States Attorney Crowe in cleaning up the vice and criminal elements in Cook County and in Chicago have given the lie to his political traducers as well as inspiration to the friends of good government. It is not expected that he will be able to eradicate all of the evils in a few weeks which had years of growth under his predecessor. Bomb throwing, gambling and vice flourish in the county districts for eight years without fear of molestation, but his short term clearly indicates that those who delegated unto themselves the right to speak for him and who have taken the position that the continuation of bomb throwing and vice will be safe commodities in the future are reckoning without their hosts. It is quite probable that many of the cohorts of vice and corruption have been bullied into a repose of satisfaction with the thought that they will be permitted to continue their nefarious practices with ease and comfort, but from the conspicuous examples of law enforcements now being put into operation by the county prosecutor have proven their assurance of safety to have been but a fleeting shadow made by a passing cloud. The unimpeachable character of former Judge Crowe sustained by several years of honorable service as chief justice of the criminal court, is of itself positive proof that citizens of every creed and racial identity need have no apprehension of his failure to carry out his pre-campaign pledges. It cannot be expected that he can consummate instantly every pledge made by him during his campaign; the fact that many evils complained of have had years of growth, precludes the possibilities of an immediate effectual purpose. In effect, the co-operation and moral support is solicited from every good citizen. Y. M. C. A. News Miss Margaret A.
