MAY BAR GARVEY'S RETURN TO U.S. "ABYSSINIANS" HANG APRIL 22 PRICE 5 CENTS VOL. III.—NO. 14 "ABYS MAY NOT LET GARVEY ENTER U.S. ON RETURN May Be Dubbed "Undesirable Alien" and be Barred Entry On Return From West Indies. NEW YORK CITY, March 30.—It is strongly rumored in immigration circles here that Marcus Garvey will not be allowed to re-enter the United States at the end of his present tour of the West Indies. Garvey expects to return to New York in April, but it is believed that on account of his agitation for Black rule in Africa, Mr. Garvey will be excluded as an undesirable alien. Salary $25 Per Week? The District Court has ruled in the divorce case of Mrs. Garvey against Mr. Garvey that he must show that his present income is not more than $25 per week, or increase the alimony he is now paying to her. Mrs. Garvey claims that her former husband has an income of $25,000 per year. PENROSE IS IN FAVOR OF RACE EQUALITY Says Negroes Should Be Able to Eat With Whites if They So Desire. WASHINGTON, March 28—An unequivocal expression in favor of race equality was given this afternoon by Senator Boise Penrose, of Pennsylvania in a formal address to a delegation of Philadelphia Negroes who called at his offices to enlist his active support for passage by the Pennsylvania legislature of the Ashbury equal rights bill. "I see no reason why the colored man or colored woman should not be able to obtain a cup of coffee at Child's if they want to, or for that matter, go to the hotels, cates, restaurants, or other public places frequented by white persons. "The time has long since passed when there should be any discrimination or repression toward our colored citizens. They are entitled to their rights as citizens under the constitution. They are free men under the constitution and I believe they are entitled to fill commercial and political freedom, act especially in regard to public accommodation and utilities. "I am glad to be able to use what influence I possess at Harrisburg where a bill is pending to give equal rights to the Negro race, to secure the passage of the measure, which has been hanging fire too long. It should be passed. "I am glad to assist the men and women of the colored race to remove the inequality and discrimination to which they are now subject." 47TH ST. FIGHT IS PUZZLE TO POLICE Early Thursday morning police were called to 29 W. 47th St. to quell a disturbance which sounded to outsiders as if a sham battle were going on inside. Investigation showed that Mrs. Martha Sommers, who is a divorcee, had taken several pot shots at Edward S. Johnson, a brass moulder, residing at 3521 Wabash Ave. Johnson was wounded in the stomach and left shoulder. He told the police that Mrs. Sommers had sent for him the night before, and that he had taken him all night to convince her that he did not appreciate her invitation, and that when he attempted to leave at 6 a.m. m. she detained him by making it impossible for him to walk. On the other hand Mrs. Sommers charges Johnson with assault. Police authorities are trying to determine how this took all night. Johnson is in the County Hospital. Mrs. Sommers is under arrest. It is a very muddled affair. The Chicago Whip Peons Forced To Dig Own Graves ETHICAL ENVY OUSTS 'HEALTH HINT' EDITORS Medical News Writers Expelled From Physicians' Assm., Dope Peddlers Retain High Standing By Lupin. Dr. Troy Smith was kicked out of the local physician's association last week. He was ousted for alleged violation of "professional ethics." The violation consisted in publishing his picture in health articles under his name in the Chicago Whip. Dr. Wilberforce Williams, health writer for the Chicago Defender, suffered the same fate as did Dr. Smith. Doctors A, B and C are still members in high standing, although they sell whisky, peddle dope and are abortion specialists. They dash through the city in their alcoholic automobiles followed by the grimaces of scores of dope hends, while the pale, stillborn ghosts of hundreds of abortion babies peer at them from every nook and cranny. Doctors X, Y and Z are also influential members in the association, although Dr. X has operated on a patient for appendicitis when the patient was only suffering from indigestion, while Dr. Y was treating a woman for indigestion when she was about to give birth to a child. At the same time Dr. Z was found drunk in a cabaret while one of his patients lay dying of influenza. But they are all influential men in the high councils and are therefore blameless. Now it should not be presume that all members of this association are rascals. As a matter of fact only about 90 per cent of them are. There is Dr. D. for instance. He is an excellent physician, but the spineless creature is restrained from giving the suffering world the benefit of his researches on the hookworm—he fears he may violate some rule of professional ethics. There is no intention to assail the principle of ethics so sacred to every profession, but there is one principle the commonsense world will not base sight of, namely, that the medical profession is dedicated to the task of relieving suffering humanity, and NOT the development of a system of ethics. Confucius spent a lifetime twenty-five hundred years ago developing a system of ethics, but it is not recorded that he relieved a single sore throat. The same system of ethics which condemned Dr. Smith's articles and yet condones flagrant misconduct on the part of 90 per cent of the rest of the profession is worse than no ethics at all, and that would be a calamity, indeed. The charge that Dr. Smith is attracting to himself undue attention in his efforts to relieve the sufferings of the reading public is indeed no more reprehensible than the countercharge that as a class the professional men of Chicago are attracting to themselves undue notoriety by the repetition of their names in the scandal columns. The public is awakening to this ethical bunco. It is paying for professional service, and not professional skills. Let the super-moralists beware. THE LASH APPLIED IN WIL MINGTON. WILMINGTON, Del., March 30.—The old Delaware Whipping Post Law was invoked here Saturday in the cases of Warner Lewis, Leonard Barrett, John Richardson and Horace Archie. They had been found guilty of robbery. Forty lashes were applied to the back of each man. The backs of the victims were slightly discolored, but only by occasional flinching did they give evidence of physical suffering. CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, APRIL 2nd, 1921 THE TRAIN "The Spirit of Transportation." It was this picture, made by K. D. Ganaway, 1224 Lake Shore drive, than won first honors at the Wanamaker annual exhibition this month in Philadelphia. Mr. Ganaway, who for seventeen years has been in the service of Mrs. Edward F. Lawrence, devotes all his spare moments to art photography, finding especial inspiration in the common place scenes of the city. DR. R. A. SHELL IS HELD ON CHARGE OF SELLING DOPE Dr. R. A. Shell, with offices at 35th St., and Rhodes Ave., was arrested Sunday, March 20, by Federal officers on charges of violation of the Harrison narcotic law. It is said that several "dope fiends" appeared at the Federal Building and swore that Dr. Shell furnished them with cocaine. Upon being questioned, Dr. Shell claimed that the prescriptions with which the addicts obtained the drug were written upon his pads, but were not in his handwriting, and were forgeries. Dr. Shell's friends claim that he is the victim of a frame-up. Dr. Shell is a trustee of Trinity M. E. Church and has a reputable practice for the last five years. The prisoner is being held in default of $5,000 cash bond. DEATH ENDS CAREER OF FAMOUS "STOOL-PIGEON" STILSON, Ga., Mar. 30—Buck Stevens, Georgia's bad man, stool pigeon, bootlegger and infamous as the "hero" who turned Philip Gaither over to the mob which burned him at the stake, was killed in a street brawl here last week. Stevens is the man who turned over to the whites any and all information as to the comings and goings of the people here. In return for this information was called a "good nigger" and was allowed a "good whisky with impunity. At the time when he betrayed Gaither to the mob he lionized by the mob, a purse was made up for him, and his picture was put in the papers as the "ideal Negro." Hubby's Fist Breaks Jaw; Rivals "Pain- Hubby's Fist Breaks Jaw; Rivals "Pain- Memories of the "Painless Dentists", sometimes known as the "South Side Wrecking Crew", were revived Saturday, at the home of Joe Hampton, 4433 Evans Ave., when Hampton's right fist crashed into the jaw of Mrs. Alberta Hampton, age 18. Mrs. Hampton's jaw was broken as nicely as if she had been in the chair of one of the famous State St. dentists. She says it was just about as "painless", too. Mrs. Hampton is now at the County Hospital. Hampton is taking a course in "Painless Dentistry" at the County Jail. YOUNG WOMAN FOUND DEAD ON R. I. TRACKS Police of the 35th precinct found the dead body of a woman on the Rock Island tracks Thursday morning. The body was lying alongside the tracks between 34th and 35th St. with the head almost severed from the torso. It was later identified to be the body of Mrs. Olivia Thomas, 3425 Dearborn St. Bruises were also found on the left forehead and under the right arm. No clues as to the murderer or possible motives were found. Inquest has been set for April 5. 15 WHITES INDICTED FOR ATTEMPT TO LYNCH HOUSTON. Va., Mar. 28.—Fifteen white men were indicted by a grand jury in the Halifax Circuit Court today in connection with the attempted lynching March 20 of Joseph Coleman, held in the county jail as a murder suspect. CHOIR SINGERS' ROMANCE ENDS IN SAD TRAGEDY A romance which had its inception in the church choir at St. John's Church, 34th St. and Wabash Ave. came to a tragic termination when Alni Maeola, age 39, 3750 Wabash Ave. died in the County Hospital on March 27. Cut by Jealous Husband Maeola was cut March 19, by Roman Holmes, 3819 La Salle St. The cutting occurred when Holmes discovered Maeola and Mrs. Luvenia Holmes walking home together from the Institutional Church, 39th and Dearborn Sts. Holmes attacked Maeola with a pocketknife, almost disemboweling him, it is said. Holding himself together with his hands, Maeola rushed to the nearest doctor for medical aid. The affair between Maeola and Mrs. Holmes is said to be begun when they were both choir members in the St. John Church. Their friendship continued even after they began attending the Institutional Church. The inquest was ordered for Wednesday afternoon at the 48th St. station. BROUGHT INTO COURT ON STRETCHERS MEMPHIS, Tenn. March 30—Judge Hash's court presented an unusual spectacle here last week when Mrs. Lillie Murphy was brought into court from the General Hospital on a stretcher. She was acting as a witness against Elijah Driver, charged with Albert Skinner. Mrs. Murphy was so weak that the jury could scarcely hear what she said Read, Think and Act EIGHT PAGES APRI Graves MURDER FARM YIELDS ELEVEN DEAD BODIES Peons Thrown Into River Others Forced To Dig Own Graves, Then Buried Alive. ATLANTA, Ga, Mar 30—Clyde Manning, who escaped from the peonage farm of John Williams, white, in Jasper County, has fled to this city and taken refuge in the state capital. He is telling his story to Governor Dorsey, and bids fair to cause one of the biggest sensations here since the Leo Frank expose. Manning swears that he carried out the orders of his "master" in order to save himself from death, and that he fled at the first opportunity. He will probably be tried with Williams for the murder of eleven on Williams' "Murder Farm." Murder Farm Gives Up Two Bodies. The attention of the outside world was attracted to conditions in Georgia when the bodies of two men, chained together washed ashore near Covington two weeks ago. Since then nine more bodies have been found, making a total of eleven bodies found so far. The last two bodies were found Sunday. Like first, the bodies were weighted down with stones and chained together. Made to Dig Own Graves The coroner's jury is now investigating the charge that in at least two cases, men were compelled to dig their own graves. The men, it was said, all were laborers on the Williams plantation, and were slain to prevent the possibility of their "squealing" over conditions on the plantation said to closely approach slavery. The killings, all within the last sixty days, it was said in Manning's alleged confession, were carried out with the utmost brutality. Four of the men, Manning is declared to have confessed, were knocked in the head with an ax, one was shot to death, while the others were taken to the Yellow River, chained and weighted with stones and "drowned like rats." According to Manning, his part in the crime was to aid his employer. **Enormous Peonage System Exposed.** Clyde Manning's confession exposes a peonage system even worse than actual slavery and rivaling, if not passing stories of cruelty in darkest Russia. According to Manning the peons were kept in a stockade similar to a jail, and were never allowed to go beyond the confines of their jail home. The least complaint on their part resulted in their being knocked in the head like hogs. Williams Denies All John Williams, the white planter responsible for the murders, is now being held in the county jail here, denies any knowledge of the murders. TREASURY EMPLOYEES SIGN "JIM CROW" PETITION WASHINGTON, March 30.—Indications that the poison sown by the Woodrow Wilson regime sank deep into the vitals of governmental machinery came out last week when Secretary Mellon, of the treasury received a petition signed by over 1,000 white clerks in the treasury department, asking him not to appoint a "Negro" as registrar of the treasury. Those watching developments closely in Washington consider the final disposition of this petition as one of the tests which will indicate the general policy of the administration with reference to pre-election promises. IL22 REDDING AND McGAVICK TO PAY PENALTY "Second Moses" Poses As Insane As Sentence Of Death Is Pronounced. Grover Cleveland Redding, self-styled Prince of Abyssinia and his first lieutenant, Oscar McGavick, must pay the extreme penalty of death for their murder of Robert L. Rose, white, a Great Lakes sailor, who was shot and killed at 35th St. and Indiana Ave. on June 20 of last year. Both men were sentenced Tuesday to hang on April 22. The sentence was imposed by Judge Kersten in Criminal Court, who overruled a motion for a new trial in both cases. In overruling the motion Judge Kersten said: "This was one of the most brutal and cold-blooded murders in the city's history. It was particularly heinous because a uniformed member of the American navy was shot down when he was protecting the flag of his country." The murder of Rose came at the end of a "Back to Abyssinia" parade staged along streets of the South Side. Rose was shot as he sought to prevent the burning of an American flag by Redding. Charles Hoyt, a cigar salesman, was shot to death at the same time. When Judge Kersten imposed sentence Redding turned his back to the jurist, in what Assistant State's Attorney Daniels, who prosecuted the case, declared was a part of his faked assumption of insanity. McGavick took the sentence stoically. Redding claimed to be a "second Moses," who came to lead Afro-Americans back to the promised land of Sinai, where each of them would receive a fertile farm. MORROW SCORES MOB GRAND JURY MORROW SCORES MOB GRAND JURY FRANKFORT, Ky., March 30.—Charging that the special grand jury at Versailles "had whitewashed 'everybody but had no word of condemnation for the mob," Gov. Edwin P. Morrow issued a statement tonight denouncing the brief investigation of the jury, which was impaneled Saturday morning and dismissed that afternoon. "It was a case of 'see nothing' and 'do nothing,'" he said. "It started out with the jailer knowing nothing about the mob, and the jailer and the other officers doing nothing, and wound up with the grand jury finding out nothing. "If a gang had gone into Versailles and robbed a bank they would have formed a posse and gone after them; and the grand jury would have remained in session until it had accomplished something. "The grand jury convened at 9 o'clock and adjourned at 3 o'clock and whitewashed 'everybody, but had no word of condemnation for the mob. "Mob violence will persist in Kentucky until local authorities take their duties seriously or public opinion compels them to. "It is absurd to think that a grand jury could make a real investigation of such an affair as that in five hours' time." OUSTED HOUSE DETEC TIVE SHOOTS PORTER KNOXVILLE, Tenn., March 30.—Henry Barton, porter at the Atkin Hotel, who was shot four times by L. G. Jennings, white, former house detective, Sunday night, was reported in a dangerous condition at the city hospital Monday morning. Jennings was under arrest. It is said the porter was instrumental in having Jennings discharged from his position at the hotel several weeks ago and this led to the shooting, which was in the lobby of the hotel. Six shots were fired and several bystanders narrowly escaped injury. UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP EDITOR Constructive Criticism of Men and Measures, In the Hope of Correcting Errors and Ectls. Constructive Criticism of Men and Measures. In the Hope of Correcting Errors and Evils. Prof. Kelly Miller objects to the President appointing a black man to the post of Ambassador to Haiti. He fears that the black man would be biaased in his opinions. We wonder who the learned Professor would have go there. It appears to us that he forgets that we are "to the American manor born." Major Moton states that we want "social justice and not social equality." Of course, the Major sees some fine distinction which he will probably construe to be a difference. To us they both are the same. We want the full enjoyment of American citizenship and it makes no difference what you may call it. The condition of peonage that continues in the South and the fearful crimes that have been committed to enforce it have established a blot on the escutcheon of the South which Time's cold hand alone can efface and even then scars will remain forever. While the hand of Charity is outstretched to aid the hungry and suffering in Chicago it appears that the rent hogs are seeking to snatch even that small pittance away. Some property owners have given notice to their tenants that upon the expiration of their leases on the first of May that the rents will be increased one hundred per cent. This is the spirit that is prevalent even among those of the black race. Charity does begin in the home, at least the profits of Charity will be taken away in order to maintain one. Certain members of the Chicago police force have been suspended because of an alleged streak of yellow and cowardice which was brought out when one of their pals was slain by the notorious gunman, Tommy O'Connor. If these officers had perchance possessed the dusky hue of Dorsey Chambliss the Chicago Tribune would have nailed them to the cross. Prejudice is at least color deep.

I know you know those real estate men who have raised your flat rent 100% and I know you wish they would move into Lake Michigan. Well, the law will finally give them a place without rent where they may stay for years without renewing their leases. I know you know that Judge in the jury court who seemed to be some what alarmed a few mornings ago because a white man visited a colored man's house. I know you know him because when he was a candidate he may have visited your house. I know you know those bats of the night who lurk in the shadows of the doorways of State Street and accost you when you pass. Well, tell them The Law and Order League will get them finally. I know you know where that distillery on South Park Avenue is. I mean those "moonshiners" in the basement. Well, tell them to watch their step. That new decision had nothing to do with your case. I know you saw that Easter finery. Well, a lot of it was bought on the "dollar down and dollar forever plan." It was quite a strain. For while one young society matron was dressed in the height of style, the little diamond ring was noticeably absent. Oh, what are pawn shops for anyway if you can't get accommodated? I know you know those pickpockets who operate in droves on the State Street and cross line cars. Well, they are still doing business and if not with the consent of the police at least with their silence. Oh, well, a pickpocket has got to live somehow. Oh, you must know that lady with the sunny smile for everybody. Well, tell her she ought not to get insulted if someone says, "Hello kid," in answer to her ever-ready smile. How can a man tell if she smiles like that. I know you know that "fly-by-night" roomer who moves seven times per week telling each landlady that he is going out to get some change to pay her: Well, tell him that his game is about played out because almost every landlady knows him now and will not give him a key until he comes across. I know you know that real estate man who used a lady's car to go to Gary, Indiana to look over some property. Well, tell him he ought to at least buy the gasoline for a trai lid that and not go in a store to get some cigarettes and never up again. "NOSEY" SEES ALL KNOWS ALL A man in a suit is bending forward, peering into a door with his hands pressed against it. N at a dicky party the other night and kept his eye on a little married man that is known to be heenpecked. Nosey noticed that the little man never sat down and naturally wondered why until he overheard the conversation between the good little husband and his "striving" wife. It seemed that she had insisted on him wearing a certain garment that she made with her own hands and had made it too short or too tight so that the little man could not sit down without cutting himself in two. So he ate standing up and as tired as he was he could not sit down after dancing. To cap the climax when they went home in a taxi the best he could do was to stand up in the machine. Nobody but Nosey and the wife knew what agonies the poor little man went through. The wife has promised to "fix" them for him before he goes out again. ☆ ☆ ☆ ONE NIGHT LAST week, Nosey made the rounds of the cabarets, just to see if the same old gang was holding forth as per program and was rather interested to note that many more of "elite society" folks had taken to "slumming" as they it when they want to go to a cabaret and have some excuse afterwards to tell their friends. But Nosey saw such strange couples that he almost cracked his long nose squinting at them. One bright vamp had seven of Chicago's leading "he-vamps" bowing and buying. One of the gentlemen had told his wife that he was going to Detroit and as Nosey was there, that he did because he did take the "violent vamp" in scarlet and mink to The 12th Street Station and did buy more than one ticket. That was enough for Nosey This "respectable" southside practitioner might tell others that business took him to Detroit, but Nosey knows that it was pleasant business, even though operated at a loss. The "vamp" never has been known to lose—heads she wins, tails you lose. SUNDAY LAST was a great day for those three young ladies of Gossips Row in Calumet Avenue. They followed that young engaged couple of Englewood around for two hours without seeing Nosey following them. They wanted to see where this couple went and whom they visited and how long they stayed. They got cold waiting in the vestibule for the couple to come out of that Grand Boulevard house and finally went back to their holes in Gossips Row to "speculate" and shatter reputations. Nosey saw the young people leave the house by the rear entrance right after they had entered the front knowing that they would lose their pursuers. Now if of these three "home wreckers and scandal mongers" tell any unsavory tales about these young lovers Nosey will do a little reputation wrecking himself and will use some rather notorious characters in Chicago's night life to prove his story of their own midnight and early morning "firelies and follies." A word to the wise is sufficient. ★ ★ ★ VERYBODY WAS out to The Amateur minstrel Monday night and Nosey really had a good time. He danced with several of the "heavy-weight and middle-weight" headliners of the social swirl and at first was not sure about the odor he caught on the breath of three of these well-known ever-present social fixtures. Nosey found that his long nose was running true to form and his delicate nostrils had detected the good old odor of "Sunnybrook" or "Old Taylor." The cloves would not down the stronger perfume. Nosey knew then why there was that ever-present smile on these ladies faces and why one would say 'hic ever-present of those violent peoples, blind to all world humpiness.' The crowning proof of the 100 proof came when Nosey picked up the beautiful purse of one of the ladies after it had "splashed" on the floor. She wanted to go and gave it to the now blushing society matron who looked wise, winked and said, "Hie, I thank you." YOU SHOULD have seen that dapper little real estate magnate last Thursday night doing a Diogenes stunt between the two apartment buildings in the 49th Street block on Wabash Avenue. Nosey was wandering around looking for something he was told about and thought he would make a short cut through to Michigan Avenue. Nosey tried to walk around a big ash can that was in an alley between the buildings and was almost frightened out of his thick skin when the cover-flow off and the little real estate king and Wallingford popped forth and yelied at the top of his voice. "It's a lie. She lied. I am not the man." Nosey hastened to calm this gay Lothario and tell him he was not looking for him and suggested that he come forth from his armored castle under the protection of Nosey. Shaking like a leaf he snuggled up to Nosey and followed 'him until on Michigan Avenue and then he unceremoniously broke into a run leaving Nosey standing wondering about this strange stunt on the part of one of THE CHICAGO WHIP The Clubs By Walter A.

Afro-American. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 30. —The academic faculty of Howard University lost out in the scrimmage with the student body last week in an attempt to enforce attendance upon mid-day chapel services on all students. Attendance of the academic students, but not the professional students, upon the chapel services is a rule of long standing in the University, but it had never been rigidly enforced recently when the faculty passed what is known as the "right to rule." Under this new regulation every student who was absent from classes and from chapel would be required in effect to complete an extra course before he could graduate. Pronuligation of the "eight cut rule" created consternation among the students. Talk of another student strike like the one of four years ago went the rounds of the campus, and finally a mass meeting of students after chapel service was called by student leaders to decide what were best to be done. Knowing the seriousness of the situation, President J. Stanley Durkee white, forbade the gathering, but the students disregarded his injunction to disperse and go to luncheon in Minor Hall and held their meeting. Both President Durkee and George Brown president of the Student Council, held the platform at the same time as the meeting went on. Rule Abrogated Following this apparently unanimous protest of the student body, the faculty at its meeting abrogated the "infamous eight cut rule" which puts the matter of chapel attendance where it was before. Under the catalogue, the students are required to attend the services, but no penalty is provided. The whole question, it is said, will now go over until the annual trustee meeting in June. Dr. J. Stanley Durkee. Howard's new president, is a former New England Congregational minister, and until this year, the faculty was compelled to attend the daily chapel services. Members of the faculty, it is said, were unwilling to pass the "Eight cut rule" in the beginning, but yielded to the president's insistence. The vote stood 7 to 7 and the president himself cast the deciding vote to put the rule into effect. The faculty was unanimous in the vote to abrogate, and at the next meeting it is possible that an effort will be made to make chapel attendance voluntary. Church. Zip of the Whip is coming round next Sunday to see. (Space will not permit more club notes in this column. Look elsewhere in this issue. This arrangement changes in April).

MASKED MOB BE- TRAYED BY VOICES; 40 INDICTED DANVILLE, Va. March 30—When the grand jury of Halifax County Circuit Court meets on Monday it will be charged with making a full and fearless investigation into the activity of a mob of 200 or more men who took part in the vain effort to bribe into the Hopston jail for the purpose of laying violent hands on James Coleman, a murder suspect. This is said to be the first time in this section that unusual lengths were gone to to pin lynch law to any individuals, for with the backing of a large element of citizens neither expense nor pains have been spared to reveal the identity of the ringleaders. There are ten men in jail, some of them charged with complicity in the Rickman murder, while others are held merely as material witnesses. Nearly forty white men are charged with taking part in the attack on the jail, and the subsequent burning of the home occupied by Coleman. While all of the men who called on the sheriff for his keys wore masks, he is said to have been able to identify some by their voices.

The defense claimed that they suspected Miller of being a burglar. Evidence showed, however, that Miller was unarmed at the time of the shooting. RESORT IN THE WORLD FOR SALE D, MICHIGAN $25.00 to $100.00 LIFE INSURANCE CO. AN ASSET TOACOMMUNITY The Value of a Life Insurance Company to a Community. Life insurance companies have played an important part in the national development of the United States. Built upon a sure foundation of scientific accuracy, they have been the one haven of sure refuge, when the clouds of financial depression have hung over the country. And just as the whole life insurance business has been a boon to the nation, so single companies have been aids to the communities in which they are located. The principle of legal reserve life insurance requires that a reserve be built up against every risk taken. As a company grows larger and larger and policyholders pay in premiums year after year, the reserve gets to be a very staggering sum which must earn a certain per cent for the benefit of the policyholder. Insurance companies invest this in bonds and mortgages secured by high-grade property. The Metropolitan Insurance Company has very recently aided the house shortage situation in many cities by advancing from jitter to sixty per cent toward the erection of modern dwelling houses. This and many other companies are doing these things on their own accord and for business reasons only. It can readily be seen what a force for good in the community a company would be whose officers are citizens of that community and who desire to see their company used to its fullest extent. The Liberty Life Insurance Company will aid greatly in allocating these conditions among our people. Negroes who are forced out of desirable homes and neighborhoods because they are unable to negotiate mortgages should look about to see what relief a high-grade reserve life insurance company could offer them, although not organized specifically for that purpose. There is potential strength that commands respect in big money and the sooner we have such forces at our command, the sooner will the colored neighborhoods become places of desirable residence rather than havens for all that is to come.

Shreveport, La., March 30. — Visitors coming to this city are warned that in the event of the death of any of their friends while here, they must be careful not to be arrested as "prowlers" while leaving the "wake" in the wee small hours. Samuel Kipkins, an expressman, and Elijah Smith, a carpenter, were arrested on the streets at a late hour Saturday night while returning home from the bier of a departed friend, on Hotchkiss Street. Policemen who arrested them as "prowlers", booked them on a charge of vagrancy, although they gave evidence that they were workers, and in spite of the fact that it was impossible for them to be at work at that late hour. After being held by the police all night, they were released in court next day. Sent to Georgia to Face Murder Charge Oscar Dorsey, alias Oscar White who recently came to this city from Carrollton, Ga., was sent back early this week to face a murder charge pending against him there.

WHO'S WHO CONTEST UNCOVERS NEW ORATOR The Who's Who in Chicago Contest is over now. According to six of the very best speakers in Chicago, the following people were declared as those who are doing the most for the advancement of the race: Dr. G. R. Bryant, Dr. L. K. Williams, Mrs. Emma Smith, Hon. R. S. Abbott, Dr. W. W. Lucas, Mr. Anthony Over- P. ton, Editor Jo- Mrs. Jas. Lillard seph D. Bibb, Dr. T. A. Hill, Dr. W. D. Cook, Col. Duncan, Dr. Dan Williams and Hon. Ed. Wright. The walls of old South Park M. E. Church surged and swelled with oratory, as great men one after another were held out as examples before an appreciative audience. The forcible demonstrations offered by the contestants made it difficult to tell who is who in Chicago for both judges and audience. All walks of life and vocation had full share of mention. The prize winners were: Mr. P. A. Galton, 1st prize, portrait of himself; Mrs. Jas, Lillard, 2nd prize, $20.00 gold piece; Mr. M. C. B. Jackson, 3rd prize, $10.00 gold piece, and Mr. E. A. Jackson, 4th prize, brief case. The judges were: Messrs. J. J. Johnson, W. L. Sherrill, J. W. V. Hutchinson, Mesdames L. J. Brown and Laura Streety. Mrs. Lilliard Wins Second Prize Mrs. Leola Lillard without a manuscript of any kind held the audience spellbound as she with convincing logic and appealing delivery took for the subject of her sketch the young editor of the Chicago Whip, Mr. Joseph D. Bibb. Mrs. Lillard contended that the new doctrines that Mr. Bibb had propounded through the editorial columns of the Whip had been of invaluable service to the community and mentored for him a place in Chicago's Who's Who. Mr. Glanton used a manuscript and was unable to impress with the same firmness as Mrs. Lillard and some report regret that she was not awarded first prize; as it is she is the proud winner of the second prize, a twenty dollar gold piece. P. It's My Biggest Purchase Men! Don't miss this opportunity to get a $90 suit made to your order for $39—a $100 suit for $49—or a $125 suit for $59. I never had anything to equal them. I bought all the $90 to $125 all wool fabrics that McCullough & Schriver, New York's fashionable suits, had. I am going to make suits to order out of them for $39, $49 and $59—and give the extra pair of trousers FREE. They were short of cash they were long on goods. They "got next" to the fact that I am always in the market for unusual values when I can buy them right for my Chicago, Minneapolis and St. Paul stores. When they offered me their entire line I bought it. I really couldn't afford to do it—my recent big purchases left me short—but I borrowed the money and bought these goods because they are greatest values I have seen. That's why if you come in this week you can get a $90 suit for $39; a $100 suit for $49, and $120 to $125 suits for $59—all made to your measure and extra trousers FREE. You run no risk. If I don't satisfy you in every way I will refund your money. WINS NEW HONORS. Head of Clio School of Mental Sciences Receives the Degree of Doctor of Metaphysics. Perhaps few young women have striven harder or more undauntingly than Dr. Adena C. E. Minott, founder and head of Clio School of Menta Sciences, Inc. She worked assiduously and graduated first in her class from Grammar School No. 80, New York City, and received the prize for general excellence from her teacher, Miss Mary E. Eato, Miss Minott then entered the Girl's Technical High School of that city, and after acquiring the necessary academic counts, matriculated as a private student in the MacDonnall College of Phenology and Psychology, Washington, D. C. (being barred on account of color from attendance in the regular classes). Miss Minott completed the course in one-half the time required, graduated with honors and received the degree of Bachelor of Philosophy. Upon returning to New York City, she took up general and post graduate courses in the world-famed Fowler and Wells American Institute of Anthropology, perfecting herself as a teacher in five branches of anthropology as follows: phrenology, physiognomy, practical psychology, physiology and anatomy of the brain. As a mark of distinction for an excellent record she was presented with a membership medal and received the degree of Fellow of the American Institute of Anthropology, thus making her the only person of color in the United States graduated from this institution or holding such a degree. Two years ago Prof. Minott began an intensive course in Metaphysics and Business Psychology at the College of Metaphysics of St. Louis, Mo. She completed the courses and took the mid-winter examinations recently, passing with honors and receiving the title and degree of Doctor of Metaphysics, being the first again of color to receive that degree in this country. Dr. Minott is not the only brilliant member of her family, but rather a bright star in a fine constellation. Her father, the late John Thos. Minott, was an architect and builder of much repute. She has brothers and sisters who have made their mark. A brother, J. Anthony Minott, a successful broker and real estate operator, was the first colored man to open business in his line on the cast side of New York City. The late Enos S. F. Minott, another brother, was the first colored man to enter Cornell Medical College of New York City, and was an honor student through each semester of his course. The first years of Dr. Minott's practice were continued to an exclusive practice among the whites of New York City, but possessing such a remarkable knowledge and grasp upon the subjects, many personal friends prevailed upon her to centralize her ef owding My MEN No won new big greatest can't equal them anywhe MEN No wonder they're coming!

Accepting this advice and appeal she established, five years ago, a branch of the Clof School of Mental Sciences, Inc. (which she had previously founded), at 3543 S. State St., Chicago. Dr. Minott says that her sole ambition now is to bring to her people the valuable knowledge she has attained, and to impress them with the great need and importance of these subjects to the betterment of their lives.

De Rajah, the “Prince of Magic,” Has fincennes Hotel Proprietor Arrested. The “Magic Prince.” Leonidas De Rajah, who was stopping at The Vin- cennes Hotel, secured a warrant for the arrest of Mrs. Elizabeth. Barnett, proprietor of The Vincerines Hotel, charging that she was detaining his trunk without due process of law. From the evidence produced in court, it appears that one part of The Rajah's charges was through, that is to say, she was detaining his trunk but the court held that the grounds upon which the trunk was being held were perfectly justifiable, Mrs. Barnett was able to show, through her attorney, Violette Anderson, that “The Prince” had inflicted serious damage upon the furniture and as a result of Attorney ‘Anderson's able defense, the court held “that the Magic One's” trunk could only be extricated by paying the damages alleged, which he did.

E --- WHAT SORT OF BOXING LAW? WHAT SORT OF BOXING LAW? Boxing Bouts Protected Or Ir Abridged Form? As events are lining up, it is quite probable that the yearning faint tans of Chicago will have distinct reasons for a change of heart, that is if the admirers of the manly art among the legislative powers that he have their say and their way prevails. A whole batch of opinions of men and women alike have been carried to the state capitol, and the bill framers ideas run from the pink tea affairs, on to the four rounders with the big eight ounce pillows, up to ten rounds with real boxing gloves. The greater bulk of ideas seem to tip the beam to the side of fifteen round goes, and if the bill is finally adopted, the longer bouts, no doubt, will have the sway. In Olden Times. In the old days under the fierce gruelling London rules, when gallant fistic gladiators fought to a bloody and desperate finish, with bark knuckles on the turt, many a brave fellow suffered considerable torture in a long terrific battle. Some of these old pugilistic heroes were often cut to ribbons or beaten to a pulp before they won or lost. Many of them endured great pain without a murmur, for fifty, sixty or even more pounds. These were the stalwart mills that tested the absolute endurance and gameness of many an old fistic warrior of the past. Often when battered to pieces they groped around the ring blinded of both eyes, trying to find their opponent, gamely unwilling to surrender. However, this brutal style of fistic encounter has passed, and the much more humane modern methods of boxing has endearled many to the sport, so that men and women attend the big bouts, the female sex adding much prestige to the game. Don't Feel Pain A real courageous boxer in a hard battle, except he breaks an arm or smashes a hand to pieces, rarely feels any pain. Real game fighters do not pay attention to punishment in the ring. Some of them often battle harder when they are stung by a heavy or sharp blow. They are often very stiff and sore all over, after a hard fight the next day, but the genuine gamester bravely fights on to the end without a whimper in the heat or battle in the roped arena. Under the present rules of boxing, very little injury or real punishment occurs. Of all the champions who lost their crowns, from Sullivan on down to Willard, none suffered to any great extent in the ordeal which they underwent. Many made speeches right after THE FUTURE GREATS Sam Gordon, the veteran manager and player who operated a team last year at Winnipeg, Canada, will be stationed at Calgary, a point that holds out bright prospects for the future of the colored fellow in baseball. Gordon's team pulled a great show up there last year, and with Sam's ability as a developer of the youths, his Calgary outfit, with Duncan, the old American Giant player as field leader should establish the dark boys upon a firm basis with the Canadian baseball folks. Lansing Giants are in the field this year with an entirely new outfit of pastimmers, having signed up a batch of material from Cincinnati and eastern cities that make the Lansing dangerous for all teams in their vicinity. For games, address M. S. Morton, 1117 William St., Lansing, Mich. The Goodmans, being the name of a mighty promising bunch of sand-lotters that are about ripe for the fastest company this season. The rookies have been burning up the prairies around Chicago for the past few seasons, but this year have made application for membership in one of Chicago's biggest leagues, and if the players that frame the roster of the team is a criterion, then the Goodmans will do. The Tate Stars, the club that holds the Cleveland franchise in the big Colored league, send reports that their park built with an estimated seating capacity of 8,000, with ample room for the accommodation of a couple of thousand more on the field, will be all ready in time for the big games this summer. Jim Taylor, the hustling manager is on the job there, and he and business manager DeVoe, are making things hum, the former with the playing material, and the latter with the many details necessary to get the machine in smooth running order. EXHIBITION GAMES Montgomery, Ala., March 29—The American Giants won here Saturday by score of 6 to 2, and repeated Sunday by score of 10 to 0. "Rubes" new southpaw Starks, was on the mound and the Southerners gleaned but three hits off his delivery. The Southern leaguers grabbed but one hit off Tom Johnson in the third game, while the Giants rapped Scales for ten bingos. Rain knocked out the doings at Atlanta Monday, and the Americans move over to Gadsden, Ala., for Thursday, Friday and Saturday. the knock out or left the ring unsupported. A victim of the decisive punch usually, quickly recoverers and seldom feels any ill effects or pain from it whatsoever. H Manager Pete Hill and the players that will carry the colors of the Detroit Stars this season, are now at the Wolverine metropolis all set for the brisk preparatory work for the season now at hand. The roster reads: Petway, Scott, Webster, Wesley, Warfield, Riggins, Miller, P. Hill, Moore, L. Hill, Cooper, Holland, Gatewood, Chase, Morrison, Force, Lane. FORTY CLUB WINNERS The crack 9th St., Y. M. C. A. team of Cincinnati, O, which has easily defeated all of its former opponents this season, were easy victims of the Forty Club heavyweights at the 8th Reg. Armory, Friday night. The score was 27-22. Hundreds of admirers of the indoor sport were on hand early to await the contest. Dr. Al Johnson, manager of the Forty Club team, for some reason, staged a game in a tournament on the northwest side. Thus it was after 1 o'clock before the big game began. There were many comments by note who have been consistent supporters of this sport, to the effect that the patrons were done a grave injustice by the management of the Forty Club team, and that it would militate against them in future contests. Both teams showed excellent form. THE CHICAGO WHIP SORTS BY THE MICHIGAN CHAM the players that will carry the rine metropolis all set for the ster reads: Petway, Scott, Webb Cooper, Holland, Gatewood, Ch Sims Retains Cue Title 59 J. W. (Bam) Sims, the popular Chicago billiardist, and colored National Champion, successfully defended his title against Kirby Anderson, Friday and Saturday nights. The score was 600-436. Bam retained his usual masterful stroke during the entire game. He averaged 5 1-2 to an inning. Kirby Anderson played a consistent game according to the experts, he was entirely outclassed by his opponent. Frank Gillespie, lounder and president of the Liberty Life Insurance Company, was the winner. The two men played for a purse of $300, and over 700 attended the contests. ST. LOUIS GIANTS IN MOBILE MOBILE, Ala., March 29—The St. Louis Giants of the Negro National league arrived here this week and immediately went into a workout. They play a series of games against the Bacharach Giants of New York, and will also try their skill against many southern league teams. There are twenty-two men in the party and every man has the appearance of an athlete. Manager Wallace has some promising new material in the person of F. Moore, a big south paw from up around Iowa. Carl Glass, another husky Kentucky left finger also looms conspicuous. Bill Smith, a 195 pounder from Indianapolis made the trip, and Dell Clark, an infielder of Topeka, Kan., is another rookie that looks great. Sam Mongin, formerly of the Lincoln Giants and Hewitt, infielder with Detroit, last year made the trip here. FOSTERS WIN. 5 - 0 MONTGOMERY, Ala., March 29 —The American Giants of Chicago proved a mighty tough nut for the local team to crack, the home boys being blanked in a game in which neither team had any glaring advantage.

HARD LUCK FOR ROGAN Looses Game in One Inning on Burts SANTA MARIA, Calif., March 29 —(Special.) A garrison start in the second inning, with the Beavers scoring three runs on four buns and Paton's whack across second base and a grandstand finish with Sam Roxhill whifing the final colored batsman with the bases loaded and only one run needed to tie, gave Portland today's game against the Colored Giants by the tight score of 3 to 2. It was a struggle all the way. Walter McCree can that his batting strategy in the second inning for the victory for after that session the Beavers couldn't find Rogan when a safe smack would do some good. Several Beavers got on, but either died stealing or were left on the sacks. In the third, after two had struck out, Ward poked a three bagger to right but Kallio threw slow hooks to McNair and he flipped out to Woller. In the fourth, two down and Rogan on first, the batter hit safely to left and Genini's throw to catch Rogan got away from Paton on third, but Rudy Kallio was backing up the base. He got the ball and when Rogan rounded the bag and took a couple of steps toward home Kallio nailed him with a quick throw to Paton.

SANTA MARIA, Cal., March 27.— (Special.) Jack Noziger, late of Vancouver, B. C., in the Pacific International league, pitched a great game of ball against the Colored Giants this afternoon, but some ivory work by the Beaver collars behind him and a large assortment of boots gave the Beavers another defeat. This time the score was 5 to 1. Jack had a world of stuff on the ball and made the colored hitters look sick in spots. He slapped out two of the four safe hits for Portland and did some pretty fielding in his position. But the youthful Beaver combination broke under the strain of an airtight game and pulled 57 varieties of bone playing in the last few innings. McNair, who pitched against the Beavers today, is a veteran left-hander, with as many foxy tricks as a circus horse. It would have been hard pitching for any club.

Hawkins Failed to Stop the Coast Team. SANTA MARIA, Cal., March 28.—(Special)—Three crashing home-run drives within the ball park and a fusillade of singles won today's game for the youthful Beavers against the Colored Giants by a score of 9 to 2. Walt McFredie's young athletes showed a complete reversal of form over yesterday. Everybody was smacking the ball. They put the skids to two colored pitchers by their barrage fire of smashing drives and had the third on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Giants Score on Triple. The Giants scored in the first on a triple and a strikeout, one of Polson's dink balls getting away from Fisher. After that the Giants loaded the bases again on Polson, but with two down the dark catcher added to the guajava of life by trying to steal second. That was a life-saver to a wise old fox like Gus Fisher, who threw quickly to first, then nailed his man at the plate on Poole's return throw. Their other run came in the fourth when Curry hit safe through second, the next man bunted safe and after a force out at second Polson played the batter at first on an easy roller instead of throwing for a cinch out at the Portland B R H O A Genin, lf B 1 R 1 O 0 Bourg, rf 4 2 2 1 0 Butler, 2d 5 2 2 1 4 Cros, m 1 0 3 2 0 Poole, 1b 1 1 2 9 1 Fisher, 1 0 1 4 2 Patton, 3b 1 0 1 1 1 Kingdon, ss 4 1 1 2 3 Polson, p 2 1 1 0 3 Pillette, p 1 1 1 0 3 Baker, c 1 1 1 0 1 Mesil, r 1 0 0 0 0 TOTALS 40 9 16 27 15 Giants B R H O A McNair, nu B 1 R H O A Fagan, 2b 4 0 0 0 2 Ray, rf 5 0 0 0 1 Ragan, ss-1 4 0 1 4 Boute, b-ss 5 0 0 1 1 Baker, c 4 0 0 7 1 Ward, 3b 3 0 0 1 3 Hawkins, p-1 4 1 6 0 arry, p 2 1 1 0 1 Woods, lf 1 0 0 1 0 HELP WANTED WANTED — Women to take the course in Madame C.

ADVERTISING RATES ON APPLICATION WITH DUE REGARD FOR RIGHT, WITH PURITY OF MOTIVE IN OUR EXPRESSION, WITH CONSCIENTIOUS COMPASSION FOR STRICKEN HUMANITY, WITH UNSTINTED CREDIT TO THOSE WHO MERIT, WITH TRUTH AS OUR GUIDE POST AND LOVE AS OUR INSPIRATION, WE HAVE COMMITTED OURSELVES TO THE WORLD OF JOURNALISM. WE HAVE DEDICATED OURSELVES TO PUBLIC SERVICE. Death Farm and Its Tragedies. Many of us object to the harrowing exposures of the crimes committed in the Southland. Some are heard to exclaim that they get tired of reading about the maltreatment and lynching of their people. Others exclaim that our newspapers aggravate the conditions and cause unnecessary alarm to the public. Such objections are foolish and do not hold water. No one in this present age wishes to live in a position of false security. No one wants to be lulled into high spirits by the lurid imagination of orators, neither does any one want to be duped, deceived and betrayed by the facile pen of compromising editors, who haven't moral courage enough to tell the truth and enlighten the public. A famous oracle of Oedipus is well in mind, "Man know thyself." Let us learn the truth concerning ourselves in this country. Let us establish the truth even though it be nude and bare. When the truth is told pity may seep into the heart of humanity, tears of sympathy may trickle down the painted cheek of civilization, virtue may stand aghast and horror cause its hair to stand on end. Nevertheless the world must know and we must tell of the infamy and murder which corrupts, defames and defiles the Southern States of the United States of America. In the wake of gruesome lynchings, entailing such weird practices as vivisection, castration, burnings and beatings, comes to the light, "the tale of Death Farm." The Death Farm is located in Jasper County, Georgia, abutting the Yellow River. There it lies in the red hills, where scores of black people have been and are still held in slavery. There they are forced to work and toil under the pitiless lash of the mule-driving overseer. When the task of the farm became irksome to the human beasts of burden and they either lagged or complained the climax of the story came. John William (white), owner of Death Farm, would chain their wretched bodies together, weigh them down with stones, then throw them into the grimy recesses of the pallid Yellow River. Occasionally to vary the monotony of this form of murder, William would beat his obstreperous black men into insensibility and then at the point of a gun compel them to dig six feet into the ground for the final resting place for their own unfortunate bodies. He would then split open their heads with his blood-dyed axe and force their comrades to bury them. Nero's garden might have had its torches made of human bodies, Attilla could have had his drinking cups made of human skulls from which to sip the blood of his enemies and even Kaiser Wilhelm might exult over the bleeding breast of ravished France, but in pure cruelty, inspired by infernal machinations, John William of Death Farm, located somewhere in Georgia, eclipses them all. When we realize that the unfortunate ones in the South are our brothers as we recite the soul-stirring crimes committed against them, "our souls become harrowed, our young blood freezes, our eyes start from their sockets like stars leaving their spheres and our knotted and combined locks stand on end like the quills of the fretful porcupine and this infernal blazonry must be given to ears of flesh and blood in order that the world may know," and think. To the end that these crimes be ended and the malfeasors punished the truth must be made known. The public must hear of it and opinion formulated against such tolerance. The Chicago Whip was one of the first newspapers to expose the tragedies of Death Farm and may the exposure bring the millennium one day nearer to this mundane sphere and this United States of America. The Lynching Commission. Senator Medill McCormick of Illinois has introduced a bill in Congress providing for a "Commission on Lynching." Those who are to compose the membership of this Commission are to be appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate. Specific task of this body is clearly defined in Section 5 of the Bill: "The Commission shall conduct a general inquiry into the subject of mob violence and lynching in the United States. It shall include the number of lynchings which have taken place within the past twenty years and the causes thereof. It shall also consider and report its conclusions in respect to the adequacy of the means now employed for the prevention of mob violence and lynching and the remedies available for their avoidance." Another significant feature of the McCormick Commission is the fact that it will be endowed with power to summon whomsoever it may choose to testify on the subject of lynching. It is almost a dead certainty that this bill will unanimously pass both houses in Congress. Senator McCormick like many other thinking men of the white race is beginning to realize that the lynching evil and kindred crimes are developing the most serious problems of the age. Perpetrators of this crime have almost invariably gone unpunished. As a result a natural contempt for all law has been inspired. This is especially true when the statutes do not suit their fancy and immediate convenience. The conduct of the South during the late war is a striking example of the growth of a disregard for Federal Statutes. In certain districts the draft boards refused to function. Needless millions were necessitated to carry on persuasive propaganda. And yet hundreds of lives of Federal agents had to be sacrificed in order to command a fair respect for the draft law. The gravity of the lynching evil is rendered more serious by the attitude of the American black man. He has been denied the protection of life. His accumulations are not secured. In fact, he has been deprived of all the commendable objects of pursuit recognized as essential in any satisfactory economic order. The government's failure to take official notice of these unjust and fuedalistic practices has caused the black man to lose confidence in the integrity of official America. Thousands of black men who today would be, and should be, productive economic factors have joined the ranks of the idle and shiftless. A more dangerous type have concluded that justice so far as they are concerned is conditioned upon the accuracy of their aim and the weight of their blows. Recent racial clashes throughout the nation bear this out without need of further argument. This country has many titanic international questions to con- front. The most optimistic among us do not doubt that the settlement may require conflict. The fidelity of fifteen million cannot be ignored in such a crisis. Unofficial organizations have collected a lot of data on lynching. They had to take such data as was handed to them by those who either committed the crime or were in sympathy with it. When a Federal Commission backed up by the Army and Navy goes into the bowels of Dixie and assures those who have been victims of the crime that they will be immune from molestation, new and startling disclosures will be made on the subject. We are of the opinion that when this expose has been made and the whole truth is placed before the American people in its nudeness that public sentiment will be immediately organized to obliviate this crime. Senator McCormick should be congratulated by the whole nation for his farsightedness. He is not only doing the black man a favor but the nation a service. Legal Hints To Women Viollette N. Anderson, Attorney-at-law Many women in the past two or three years of economic revolution have been able to accumulate and lay by nice little amounts of ready finance, and everywhere women are found making investigations as to the best method of investing them. We will find that first mortgages purchased right here on the south side of Chicago will M. bring good returns, and offer safe investment. Before doing so make sure of the title and whether or not there are judgments against the property—then purchase. Inquiry at your bank will also advise you that small investments can be advantageously made through it that will net you from 7 to 8%. Be very wary and cautious of oil and mining stocks. They are riskless you have very excellent advice as to their worth. Dear Madame: My husband has been out of work now for the past three months and all of the little savings we had is about gone—we have two children and one of them is sick all the time. Is there any place where I can get help and medicine for my sick child? I do not want charity—I will be able to pay back when times get better. Go to the United Charities, 168 N. Michigan Avenue, or to the County Agent's office at 847 W. 47th Street. They will investigate and help you. You may be able to find employment through those sources that will make their help seem less like charity. The Urban League at 3025 W. 3025 Ash Avenue is also doing much work in deserving cases. In love with a fine gentleman and I really believe he loves me but for some reason marrying seems to have left his memory. He really needs my care and I am willing to sacrifice all for him. Kindly tell me what to do. There may be so many reasons that marrying seems to have left his memory—he may be married—he may really not love you—he may feel that he cannot support you, or perhaps he is shy. Too bad that you did not tell him just how you felt about it during Leap Year—still if you are quite sure he does love you, bring the marriage idea back to his memory. However, don't do any sacrificing until you are married. He will appreciate you more. P. B. A. New Orleans, Louisiana. Have answered your question by mail as you requested. Dear Miss Anderson: I married a Chicago woman ten years ago thinking my first wife was dead. She has come to Chicago and tells me that she was married right before we separated. She is dead and now she is going to make me support her. What can I do? I have three children by my second wife, and love her dearly. George B. Get a divorce from the first wife, an annulment from the second and then marry the second. If your first wife wants to, however, she can make it very uncomfortable for you before the end of the legal proceedings is reached, unless you can prove that she is telling the truth about her remarriage. Dear Madame: A man friend and I bought some property together—that is he gave me some money and I bought it in my name. We had a disagreement, and he left. Now he wants me to give him the money back. I have none, only what I would get from selling the property which I am trying to do. Nobody knows he gave me the money but he and I. What can I do if I want to give him back what he gave me Cora G. Let him wait until you sell it—then return the money to him. He is fortunate to have you feel as you do about returning it. Dear Miss Anderson: My husband got a divorce from me two months ago and they took away my child. Is there any way in which I can get her back, as I just cannot live without her. —Anxious Mother. Unless you tell me more of the divorce case I cannot advise you. If the child was given to her father, you must have been guilty of some grave misconduct, for the attitude of our courts is to give the mother the custody of minor children, especially girls, when the mother is fit. Dear Madame: My daughter has left home and gone to room at a place which I do not think is fit for her to be in. She says that now she is sixteen years old I cannot say anything to her about where she lives as she works and makes her own money. She runs out nights with boys and men and I want to know what I can do with her, If you cannot control her and keep her at home, make a complaint to the Juvenile Court officers, County Building, 9th floor Clark and Washington Streets, and they will take her under their Supervision. "This, at her age, will possibly be the means of showing her how her ways and bringing her back to you. All questions cheerfully answered. Address me C/o The Whip, 3420 S. State Street TLE CHICAGO WHIP Legal Catechism Legal Catechism By Herman E. Moore, Attorney-at-Law Ques. In 1911 I was living in Washington, D. C. and went to Alexandra, Virginia and took out a marriage license and was married in Washington, D. C. Is this a legal marriage. We have been separated for 8 years. How can I get a divorce and marry again? M. C. K. Ans. No. If your license was issued in Virginia and the ceremony performed in Washington where you had no license, this was not a valid marriage. Consult a lawyer in your local city and give him all of the facts in the case and then he can advise you more fully in re the latter question. Ques. Is there any city law against parking automobiles in front of residences at night without lights burning on it? Ans. Yes. It is required that automobiles so parked must have both front and tail lights burning. This law is so seldom complied with by motorists as to make it unknown to many. Ques. I have a lease on a flat and the lease expires May 1st. I have just received notice from the landlord that I can keep the flat for $40.00, which is an increase of $7.50 per month. Does this notice automatically renew my lease? Ans. Yes, if you accept it by acting mon it. Ques. A man is in the habit of hort- rowing money from his and his wife's friends without his wife's knowledge acin the wife he be held for payment of the debt? Can the furniture be taken? Ans. The wife is not liable unless the loans were made and used for family expenses. Whether or not the furniture can be taken depends upon who owns it. Send all questions for this column to Hermann C.

Sir: Kindly advise me through the columns of the Whip how and where can I get a quick cure. I am from Covington, Ga., and there I was a victim of Gonorrhea going on for 8 years (this was the cause of poor treatment down there); after I got here I got a job but when I was examined by the Company's doctor he found it out and I was discharged. It seems as if I won't be able to hold a job here. What must I do? I see that you are like the average man that gets Gonorrhea; you are asking for a quick cure. Get it out of your head in regard to Gonorrhea being cured quickly. Ask for a thorough cure. Remember that it often takes from four to eight weeks to cure this disease and sometimes longer. There is an old saying, "Everybody knows when Gonorrhea begins but the Lord knows when it ends." You spoke about your having this disease for eight years, in other words, this disease has become chronic, because you have let it go on so long and you were not treated properly in the beginning. You should also be informed that chronic cases are more difficult to cure than new cases and the length of time given above referred to new cases. Remember that simply stopping the discharge does not mean that the disease is cured. A good physician will examine a smear under the microscope and when there are no more germs present he will pronounce you cured. You asked me where you could get cured. If you live here in Chicago there are several physicians in this city that treat Gonorrhea very successfully. It would not be ethical for me to tell you the names of any of these physicians or to tell you that I treat Gonorrhea, but it is up to you to choose a good physician, one that would be interested in you and your case. Remember also the physician may do his part, but you must cooperate with him in doing those things which facilitate a cure. Gonorrhea can be completely cured, but in treatment the patient must do his part. If you are unable to pay a physician his price the city has established clinics where you can obtain free treatments. As long as you have Gonorrhea the law requires that you should take treatments. These clinics are located in various places throughout the city. You must get in touch with the Health Department and they will advise you which one to go to. Do not become discouraged because you lost your job, many places are very particular about having people in their employment with any of the venereal diseases. So if any of the other readers have any venereal diseases, they should take notice and get enred.
