III.—NO. 18 FIND WOMAN AND MAN DEAD IN W. SIDE FLAT Alleged Moron Surrounded With Nude Pictures; Scores of South Side Phone Numbers. Mystery deep and baffling shrouds the death of Mrs. Mabel Collins, 2937 Dearborn St., in the bungalow of Winfred E. Bodman (white), at 54411 Warwick Ave., on the far northwest side. Bodman, who was a bachelor, 45 years of age, lived alone in his bungalow at the Warwick Ave. address, and was also found dead with the girl. Mrs. Mabel Collins 5 44 1 Warwick Ave, on the far northwest side. Bodman, who was a bachelor, 45 years of age, lived alone in his bungalow at the Warwick Ave. address, and was also found dead with the girl. The two were found Sunday afternoon by a neighbor who entered the house to obtain a lease from Bodman who was a special age, it for the Columbian National Life Insurance Co. Newspapers lying on the porch indicated that the couple had been dead since Friday. Mrs. Mabel Collins Mrs. Colling Answered Want Ad. Wesley Contrad, 2937 So. Dearborn St., who identified the body of the dead woman, said that Friday morning she had answered a want ad for a maid, and telephoned Friday afternoon that she had secured the position and would not come home Friday night. He said she was sepa- tioned and unburied and had two children living somewhere on the West Side. Three Possible Solutions. Police of the Irving Park station are seeking a solution to the puzzle from three different angles. Moorshine whiskey, evidences of which were found in a partly emptied bottle, may have caused the deaths. A partly eaten meal found in the kitchen points to a possibility of ptomaine poisoning. PETER H. BURKE A more plausible theory develop Winfred Bedman Whitfield Boumen the theory never oped when the police learned that a gas heater was burning in the basement when the bodies were found. A rooster came out dead, evidently killed by fumes. It is possible that the pain were overcome by carbon-monoxide fumes. Bodman a Moron? The mystery deepened when police searched the house and found telephone numbers of twenty-five or thirty women, all the same race as the dead woman. About ten or twelve poses in the nude of an unidentified white woman were also found. The two bodies were found lying in the bedroom—Bodman's with his feet on the bed and his head on the floor, entirely nude, and the girl was lying on the floor beside him. She was clad in silk stockings and silk underwear. An examination is being made of 'the vital organs by Coroner's Physician William D. McNally.

Indications Point to Guilt of Lemontine Tighter and tighter the net of circumstance winds itself about Lemonine George, 3521 State St., as the murderer of George Fields, bartender at Dreamland Cafe. Lemonine, as he is known in the underworld, was a "hanger-on" at Dreamland, and at one time was in charge of the cloak room until the concession was given to a foreigner. He is well known in sporting and gambling circles, and information from the "inside" is said to confirm the suspicions of the police. Had a Losing Streak. It is reported that prior to the murder Lemontine had been in the throes of a losing streak and had lost over $700. He had also sold his car, taking the money to gamble with, and had lost it, too. He is said to have made remarks that he was soon to have a "new stake." The Tell-tale Gun These meager facts and Lemonine's gun have been the only clues that have involved him in the murder. Lemonine is said to have turned the gun over to a friend one hour after the murder. This friend took the gun on a trip to Louisville, Ky., but returned to the city and turned it over to the authorities, upon learning of the crime. Lemonine has made several conflicting statements containing the gun, but up to the present has been unable to establish a satisfactory No Gambling Den William Bottoms, the proprietor of Dreamland, strenuously denies the truth of the rumor that the shooting was the aftermath of gambling in the basement of his cabaret. He also denies that Fields was "lookout" man for the game. Indictments are expected against Lemonine and Walter Hill, who is still being held. A.M.E. MINISTERS HONOR EASON Recognition which was never before shown a representative of his organization was accorded J. W. E. Eason, the Universal Negro Improvement Association's "American leader" during his recent visit here. Rev. Dr. Eason was instrumental in raising $2000 toward launching the next boat of the Black Star Line. He was also invited to address Ministers' Union of the A. M. E. Church and lay before that body an outline of the plans of the organization which he represents. This is a distinction never before accorded a Garveyye, and indicates the trend of feeling toward the movement. Dr. Eason left Tuesday afternoon for St. Louis, Indianapolis and Cincinnati, returning to this city Monday. MEMPHIS COP TURNS BANDIT; JS FIRED MEMPHIS. Tenn. April 30.—Patrolman B. F. Weaver, white, has learned that even in Memphis too much is sometimes enough. He has been fired from the force following the finding that he was guilty of stopping a man of our race and taking $4 from him. Effort was made to keep the matter secret. CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, APRIL 30th, 1921 "Horned Negro Faker Gets Life Sentence. Alma, Ga., April 30. — Dr. J. R. Dedge, white, of "Horned Negro" fame, was convicted of murder here tonight in connection with the killing of Justice C. J. Medders, white, on July 10 of last year. The jury recommended mercy, and Dedge was immediately sentenced to life imprisonment. Dedge and Medders were former partners in the show business. They hit upon the plan to put horns on a half-wit and tour the country with him as the "only horned negro in captivity". An operation was necessary to insert a big pair of horns in the man's head, and the skin grew in place and made them appear like real horns. The show business thrived, it is said, until the horned one, at Valdosta, Ga., several years ago, disclosed the fake. Dedge and Medders had made a fortune and returned here. Medders becoming overseer on the Dedge plantation. A year ago, because of personal difficulties, Medders left the place, opened a law office and became a justice of the peace. He was shot down in front of his office one night, and Dedge was among the men arrested in connection with the shooting, the automobile from which the shots were fired being traced to his home. MAURICE MAYS IS CONVICTED SECOND TIME Convicted Man To Appeal To Supreme Court From Decision Of Tenn. Jury. KNOXVILLE. Tenn., April 30.—Maurice Mays, whose case has attracted national attention, was for the second time convicted of first degree murder here Saturday and sentenced to die in the electric chair. Mays was charged with having killed Mrs. Bertie Lindsay, white, on the night of August 30, 1919, while asleep in her own home during the absence of her husband. This is the second conviction for Mays, the former trial having resulted in the higher court sending the case back to the lower court on reversal. Mays strenuously denies the charge, setting up an alibi, and maintaining that he was in his poolroom at the time of the murder. It is generally conceded that he is the victim of a frameup. The case will be immediately appealed to the state Supreme Court. It was the crime alleged to have been committed by Mays which precipitated the attack on the Knox county jail following the night of the tragedy. Paid $200 a Week Protection ATLANTA, Ga., April 30.—Nat McWhorter, hackman and bootlegger, testified Saturday that he paid Detective W. L. Payne $200 a week for two years to protect his place under the Washington Street viaduct. A Miss Corinne Lyles, Nurse at Ft. Dearborn Hospital, who was severely injured in Monday night's bombing. INTEREST OF RACE AT STAKE IN HOT FIGHT AT GARY GARY, Ind., April 20th, 1921—Gary, Indiana, America's greatest steel city, is in the midst of the hottest Republican primary fight that the city of 75,000 has ever seen, and as usual, where the black man is largely represented, the issues center around things that concern us. There are two prominent candidates, Col. Thomas Hamilton, who served in France, and Ex-Mayor R. O. Johnson, who was mayor of Gary from 1913 to 1917. The burning issue in the campaign is whether or not Ex-Mayor R. O. Johnson shall be punished for his misuse of the black man during his former admini-stration. Johnson, so the dependable black men say, made many promises in their behalf which were not kept. Among them he, after having promised not to do so, permitted to be shown Gary the moving picture film known to the Birth of a Nation. This too, after the courts had held that he did not have to if he decided against it. Ex-Mayor Johnson admits that he promised to appoint black men to the fire department and failed to do so because he says he thought that it would not do to give black men white mens' places. Then after he had permitted black men to train one month to fit themselves for the place. Again it is stated that under Ex-Mayor Johnson, school segregation started and Johnson did nothing to stop it. It also is stated that Johnson, who (Continued on Page 4) NOMINATION BLANK In the Chicago Whip's "EVERYBODY WINS" Campaign Good for 5000 Votes I Hereby Enter and Cast 5,000 Votes for Miss (Mrs. or Mr.) Address As a Candidate in The Chicago Whip's Grand Free Prize Distribution.

PARIS, Texas, April 30.—Southern race hatred entered the courts here last week and, terming the clandestine love affair between a white woman and a black man "criminal assault," caused the sentence of death to be passed on Virgil Sampson, the alleged "rapist." True Story Suppressed. The true story of the affair has been suppressed by the Southern white press, and members of our race who discuss the travesty on justice do so at a risk of their lives. The true story of Sampson's trial and conviction was obtained by an observer whose fair complexion deceived the whites into thinking he was white also. The Love Affair. Virgil Sampson had for some time carried on a mutual love affair with a young white woman, about 22 years of age, near Honey Grove. Often he met her at designated times and places in the woods near Honey Grove. To avoid suspicion, she always left home accompanied by her small brother, aged 9. He kept watch for the pair, being bribed by his sister to keep the secret. Finally the secret leaked out, and the parents forced the details from the boy. As the affair began to be talked of through the community, Sampson was arrested "to save the good name of the girl." In order to force a confession from their victim, the authorities in Paris are said to have beaten, tortured and hanged the unfortunate man by his wrists until, crazed by pain and agony, he finally signed a confession of the crime of "rape." Defense Provokes Laughter Sampson's counsel, appointed by the court stated that he never would have accepted the case for pay, but had no other alternative when ordered by the court. Their defense was so ridiculous that the spectators were provoked to laughter. The girl herself refused to testify in any manner whatsoever. With a mere show of legal formalities, Sampson was convicted and sentenced to hang May 27. When asked if he had a statement, he said he had one, but he knew it would do no good, so he wouldn't make one. WHITES WARNED TO QUIT INDIANA AVENUE FLAT Tenants of the apartment building at 4924-26 Indiana Ave. say they have been receiving anonymous letters warning them to vacate the building, which has been bought by Nodley Shorter, 4428 Champlain Ave. The letter states that "because the building has been sold to Negroes, it will be burned. Vacate by the 1st of May. Don't be foolish and try to stay. You are liable to lose a leg, an arm, or your life." It was signed, "Knewood Club." The whites claim that they will not move. --- EIGHT PAGES Freedom Of Speech Is Unheard Of In Birmingham, Ala Birmingham, Ala., April 30—"Black neegrees cannot talk to white women this side of the Mason and Dixon line, even if the white women are in jail," ruled Judge Henry J. Martin, recorder of police court, yesterday, when he fined Will Massegale, $50 and gave him a jail sentence of 90 days for talking to a white woman while she was being held in the city jail. By a Staff Correspondent. True Story Suppressed. The Love Affair Confession Forced Defense Provokes Laughter The jury was out nine minutes. PRICE FIVE CENTS PREMONITION SAVES BOMBED GIRL'S LIFE Heard Plot To Bomb Home As In A Dream; Change Of Position Saves Her Life. "Race hate bombers," supposed to be emissaries of white "protective associations," struck deep home into the heart of the South Side Monday night when four young women were seriously injured in a bomb explosion at the Fort Dearborn Hospital Nurses' Home, 3718 Grand Boulevard. Sleepers Hurled from Beds The injured who were hurled from their beds by the terrific impact of the bomb are Misses Stella Woods, Corrine Lyles, Dorothy Waters and Mae Harris. Miss Lyles and Miss Waters, who are most seriously injured, are nervous wrecks as a result of the experience. Hears Plot Hatched In an interview Miss Waters told reporters that while half asleep several nights ago she heard two men under her window discussing plans for the bombing. Before she could sufficiently arouse herself to give the alarm they had gone. As if by some premonition, she changed her position in the bed. When the bomb exploded, she escaped the full force of the explosion by having changed her position. Otherwise she probably would have been killed. The building was recently purchased from Dr. Odeon Bourque, white, 3831 Vernon Avenue, by Drs. C. W. Bibb and R. H. Williams. The bomb was placed in the entrance to the building, inflicting a damage of about $3500. The usual lack of clues characterized police reports of the affair. RACE FOR $1,700 AUTO SOON TO BEGIN Intense interest is being shown in The Whip's big voting election in which a beautiful $1,700.00 Dixie Flyer, five-passenger touring car and hundreds of dollars in big cash prizes will be given away to our own folks, readers and friends of The Whip.

(Continued Page 5) 25 RACES TO ATTEND PAN-AFRICAN MEET 25 RACES TO ATTEND PAN-AFRICAN MEET NEW YORK, April 21.—Citizens from 25 nations have been invited to attend the second Pan-African Congress next fall, it was announced by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People here.

UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP Constructive Criticism of Men and Measures, In the Hope of Correcting Errors and Evils. Constructive Criticism of Men and Measures, In the Hope of Correcting Errors and Evils. When women and children are made the objects of the 'bomb throwers'" wrath, then it seems that the authorities should wake up and protect them. So many beautiful speeches have been made, so many petitions have been signed and to no avail it appears that the Commonwealth should get prepared to protect her citizens. What is the next step? While the great nations are quibbling and quarreling over the island of Yap those whom it directly affects are silent. This island is populated largely by people of the dark races. Whether the Japanese mandate is extended or not the black people have a great interest at stake and they may as well realize it now and not have it thrust upon them as the Haitian atrocities were. In Paris, Texas, a black man was convicted and sentenced to die because his love affairs with a white woman leaked out. Love is blind and neither the juries nor judges can stem its course. The courts of Texas are dyeing themselves in the blood of fatricide to spite natural inclinations. If the powers were reversed and the black men were made judges and jurors the same kind of justice that their white brothers use would compel them to build a gallows every day and hire thousands of executioners. Perry Howard, the gumshoe politician from Mississippi, is still hanging around the White House kitchen looking for political crumbs. His dream of an appointment as assistant attorney general has proven itself a nightmare and he and his henchmen like Cassius now have a lean hungry look. Howard belongs in Mississippi and he will aid his race by refraining from self-nomination as a "race leader." Recently the editor criticized Mr. Henry Ford's attacks upon the Jewish people. The editor was justified in his defense of the "children of Israel." The children of Israel, however, are not playing exactly fair with their friends. Their names appear upon the membership lists of the infernal Kenwood and Hyde Park Property Owners' Association, which seeks to bar black people from certain residential sections in Chicago. May be the Jewish people are not a subject race, but they are the objects of mean, stinging sneers and insults. It is hard to appreciate their psychology in supporting institutions which seek to crush other oppressed and crushed people. ENTERTAINER CAFE REOPENED with the same wonderful JAZZ BAND THE BEST ENTERTAINMENT IN THE CITY SPECIAL FEATURES Souvenir Matinee Every Tuesday Efternoon, 3 to 7 P.M. Weekly Feature Contests—Entertainer Cafe. INDIANA AVENUE AND 35th STREET A man in a suit crouches and presses the door handle. NOSEY was gassed while in the trenches over in No Man's Land but he was not near so seriously affected as he was at a private house rest party last Friday night. It happened in one of those cute little bungalette flats on Rhodes Ave. The dreamy music of "Marjorie" filled the little flat but that was not the only thing. The odor of strong pungent cabbage mixed up with a new brand of face powder. One lady kept running to the pot of boiling cabbage while young debutante dabbed her nose in a small "vanity case." The mixture of cabbage and powder nearly ruined Nosey and as he caused from the little flat he was thankful that the gas used by the Germans was not made out of the pot and the vanity case. *** ONLY last Thursday night did Nosey find out how the little telephone operator who "passes" received her black eye. She is one of the little vamps who Mr. Kipling wrote about. Well, she attempted to vamp the popular young lawyer of recent divorce and because the young protege of Judge Blackstone did not fall so readily she proceeded to give wifey information which would help her secure the divorce. The lawyer applied his fist to little vamp, thus the black eye and Nosey has unravel a great mystery. SEEING all and knowing all is not all of Nosey's duties. He must also hear all that is said and he heard what that waiter in a large loop hotel said when he returned from Milwaukee Wednesday where he had gone to see the great prize fight. Well; when he got home and started to inject his key in his private apartments on Wabash Ave, he hesitated for wifey within was telephoning. This is what the waiter heard. "Yes, dear, that old boob is working all night and he will be so sleepy when he gets here I will have no difficulty in seeing you." The waiter beat a force march and hid across the street realizing that wifey would get tired of waiting for him. Sure enough at eleven thirty sharp, wifey sauntered forth and walked north and wifey was met by a lady friend. They boarded an elved train just ahead of hubby. Alighting in the loop they went to a picture show and came back home. The waiter lost his rest and was kissed by wifey before going on the job but Nosy heard what he said. *** EVERY one wants to stay young several years when Nosey first came to the Windy City and the activities of lights and laughter were centered at 31st and State St. A wee young lady was the queen of the stroll. That was many years ago, but only last week Nosey happened to run into this young lady and she was accompanied by one of the High School boys. The little lady's skirts were at a straight angle and she was quite chipper. When introduced to Nosey she said that she remembered how he used to call on her elder sister back in 1908. Nosey knows that it was the same wee little lady and that fly has the same sister. How time does fly. The little lady is trying to clip its wings but it can't be done. Nosey knows you through the makeup. *** YOU come here Sam, and lay it where you found it! These words shrieked from the large house in the popular South Park block. Nosey thought that Sam was trying to steal something and get away. Not so. Sam had grown tired of his wife and like Kathleen was trying to slip of the bedroom window by climbing over the transom. His better half locked him up. Sam after a volley of shoes and brushes which barely missed his head, creep back down and laid back into his downy couch while Nosey went home.

Zip Reports Sunday, morning we put on our long coat and plog hat and visited a little north side church. We were ushered up to the rostrum and seated before we knew that we were supposed to belong to the clergy. All well and good, but imagine this: "Brothers and sisters, we have with us this morning a distinguished minister who has been in the field for a number of years and who for a few moments will break to you the 'bred'. Now, we had been into the field, lots of 'em (corn, coal and what not), and breaking bread was our specialty, but we saw we were expected to preach or embarrass the assistant pastor, who guessed at us—by hat and coat and shape of our head. So looking out the window, we motioned frantically to an imaginary passerby and hurried out—NEVER to return! We broke narry a piece of bread—and do not know who did. We met the representative of the Star Literary Society, who habitually visits the Standard each Sunday. He was "kicking" because no one invites him to make an address. We know that he is well read:Beatrice Fairax, The Man Around the Town, You Know 'Em and the Lash are among the works into which his research has extended. He is a C. F. D. O. (Champion Flat-foot Diner Out). Class 1921. The distinguished Dramatic Reader: who is a favorite of several entrants in the contest in literary has contended one of the selections by Ye Editor of the Clubs. It is a screaming scream in mirth and satire, featuring a popular cantata. She has read this number successfully in repertoire. Zip has sent his famous Jew's Harp to London for repair and toning; it is possible that in encore his trusty mouth organ will again be heard! The last time Zip appeared in public with his musical creation, every cat in the neighborhood had promptly responded to the window-sills and door steps, while the whole of dogdom had as promptly faded into oblivion not to reappear until the close of the beautiful selection. Zip said something about the power of music upon man and beast. Yes, sir! Very powerful it was and will be at the contest. An Open Letter to Zip. "Whoever you be I do not know or care, but I want you to know that I like your style—just love it. Are you as entertaining personally as you are in your writing? Are you married or single? Are you a church person, do you dance or are you above special parties, or what about you, dear Zip? Now I am really in earnest and EXPECT a reply. I am personally interested. A. ADDRESS." Zip's Reply to "A." 'My dear A:' "I am the Whip Club's prodigy. Can do anything, everything—and on the q. t., I do most things—except drink 'corn likker', I can't do it. As for dancing, can an elephant try? What do you mean 'special parties?' If you mean the Kimona or p—a, well, I never wore 'em yet, but I suppose I might. I can fill the role of a singer, essayist, orator, writer, or, say, when it comes to musical instruments, I AM A JEW'S HARP 'FOOL'. Very bashful; extra handsome around the ears, only—oh, yes, I am afraid of a blackjack and a gun, too. Thassall! Yours for Peace, always. ZIP OF THE WHIP." First Contest.

Again, during Johnson's former administration, Gary was a wide open town, gambling houses and houses of prostitution ran unmolested in various parts of the city. Black women were openly insulted and could have no redress. On one occasion a promoter friend he was insulted by a white policeman who told her it did not make any difference. The woman's husband appealed to the mayor but nothing was done for this and many other wrongs. The leading black men say that Johnson must be defeated. Johnson's supporters have attempted to answer these charges by saying that he, Johnson, has changed since he has been out of office and if given another chance he will make good. This kind of argument does not sound good to the black men who now live in Gary and the feeling among black men who stand for good government, race advancement and decency is so strong, that to vote for Johnson is considered unpardonable wrong done the race.

For Information to Deputies and Organizers write to THANKS PUBLIC Permit me to thank you for the effective aid given under a recent attempt to lighten the burden of those of our people who have the misfortune of being unemployed. We had the very extreme pleasure of turning over a little better than twelve hundred dollars ($1,219,21)—an exact report will be given later. This money will be turned over to the Urban League TO HELP FEED THE HUNGRY UNEMPLOYED. Aside front the great material help represented by the sum of money, comes the knowledge that colored men have demonstrated what they can do to demonstrate efforts in behalf of their own. We believe that this effort is calculated to give an impetus to race cohesion and to teach our people throughout the land that Chicago men believe that the strong of our race should help its weaker members instead of exploiting them. Surely, the fact that you had a part in making our efforts successful will bring you pride and joy. William Keiley's Mother Passes Mrs. Anna W. Kelley, 7227 Vincennes Ave, mother of William Kelley, one of our most popular and commendable young men, passed away at her home Tuesday evening after an illness of several months.

The attention and comfort given, and untiring devotion of William, added much to her happiness in her last years. The family have the sincere sympathy of their legion of friends.

THE CHICAGO WHIP BUCKNER NOW SMILES A. B. At last the hungry ones in Chicago will have a bite to cat and they owe it largely to the genial "Bill" Buckner, a big brother to the poor and an all around good fellow. Buck decided that those who had lost their jobs because of business depression should not suffer and he started for a fund raising plan. He finally landed upon "ye old fashioned cake walk." He immediately interested the leading business men in the community who donated funds and also musicians who gave the music and even the spacious armory was a grit for the night to the poor. So it happened on Monday night April 18th and Buck was there to see the hall packed and to see over a thousand dollars donated to the unfavorable. That the walk ball was a success has become a fact in Chicago's history. The armory was killed to the overtow and "Buck" arrived broadly. He had done his bit and with a smile upon his face Buck had down that night and went to sleep, but many dollars had been collected for the unemployed. If you were ever hungry you can appreciate the efforts of Buck, the good Samaritan. You can see him any old day smiling blandly in his Colonial Barber Shop and his heart is in the right place.

RACE FOR $1700.00 AUTO ON **Distribute from Page** You can be a Whip, or the Whip's $3,500. "Everybody Wins," the Grand Prize Distribution. It doesn't cost one cent to enter and with the very biggest of the prizes, and with the biggest of the prizes, you will be paid in cash for whatever effort you may make in the election, as advertised in the book. Never before has such a liberal offer been presented to our people. Never before has such an alluring and generous proposition been made, that the rapidly increasing interest shown, that the ambitious readers of The Whip are going to love, that the keen gratitude with which some of the keen gratitude with which some of the Whip's readers are sending in their ideas in statements to the campaign manager during the little preliminary chats which occupied most of his time during the past few One Is Increduous "Is The Whip actually going to give away all that long list of prizes—and the $1,700,000 automobile—simply in exchange for getting an incredulous young lady who called yesterday. "That's all it takes," replied the campaign manager. "Votes alone will win. All you need is a phone call and a given free bye vote coupons appearing in every issue of The Whip and with subscription payments. Costs Nothing To Enter "Does it cost anything to enter?" another woman inquired. "Not a cost, it is replied. 'Why you don't' have a coupon, be a subscriber to The Whip to share in this distribution of awards." Prizes to All Guaranteed "Does every active participant receive a gift?" a man inquired of the campaign manager. "Yes, just as announced," the manager replied. "Well, if that isn't a liberal proposition, I don't know what is," another candidate remarked. "If I can get a $1,700.00 automobile or a guarantee of some good prize as easy as that, believe me I'm going to get my share in this grand prize distribution. I know lots of people who will save their voting coupons for me and give me their subscriptions to The Whip. Which is the best method of getting votes?" The campaign manager assured her that the most rapid way to pile up a big number of votes was by obtaining new and renewal subscriptions to The Whip, carefully explaining the vote schedule, a copy of which appears in the announcement on page 3 of this paper. "You're going to hear from me," the candidate replied as she arose to depart. In fact, the campaign manager thoroughly enjoyed himself talking and becoming acquainted with candidates and he is always glad to talk to anyone who cares to have explained some point that may not be exactly clear—he is always ready to be of assistance. It isn't hard to get subscriptions to The Whip, for everyone knows what an update newspaper it is. People know, too, that they will get their full money's worth when the subscriber is. As a matter of fact, it is going to be great getting vested. Those who try for those members will also be willing to make the little, easy effort required, there are prizes of wonderful value to be secured in spare moments without the expenditure of one cent. The campaign will soon be going full blast. You is the one you need and get a "running start," so that no one will ever get ahead of you. Clip out the Nomination Blank on age 1—send or bring it to The Whip office it once. If you don't want to nominate yourself, you may nominate a friend. It doesn't cost anything either way and you will have to be a group of people. If you have a Nomination Blank campaign headquarters will immediately forward you complete details together with supplies and all necessary accessories. If you desire any information concerning nominative yourself, or a friend at the Whip, 3420 State Street, or telephone: Douglas 623, and have everything explained to you in detail. List of Candidates Appears Today. The list of names of the candidates nominated up to Tuesday appears in this issue. The vote standings will appear in The Whip's list. A sure test of your name appears in the list, so that your friends will know you in the campaign. Only One Way Remember, there's only one way to make nominations. Candidates must either nominate themselves or be the choice of some friend who will do it for them. The management will do the work, and you want to be sure that your name is among those from which the owners of the $1,700.00 prize Flies and other grand prizes are to be given, you must get in your nomination at once. A Small Fortune to the Winner. In a few short shorts some reader of this paper will be given a small fortune—a $1,700.00 gift, which is more than the average man makes in a year and more than the average family saves in an annuity. Ambition, energy, with plenty of "pet" are the only requisites for success. Those who start early will of course have the advantage. The first step is to nominate one. The first step toward winning this brand $1,700.00 touring car is to send in the Nomination Blank which appears on page 1 of this issue. Bringing out and soiling in the Blank will give you the chance to off. Then you can begin the pleasurable task of gathering in the votes which are given for new and renewal subscriptions to The Nomination Blank which appear in every number of the paper. Right now—TODAY—is the time to begin. If you want a $1,700 Dixie Fleet touring out of your own so that you can ride when you want to, you can rent a car for a spin on the boulevards these hot summer months will require, or you can combine your rentals with their delay. Think of having this car for your very own, to go to the playgrounds, as long as you have a car that has a reputation of reliability, power and luxuriousness. That's just what you can have if you are willing to put forth the muscle and a little effort during your spare time. More Votes Given Now. Understand, too, that there will be more votes given for submission now than at any other time. You can't get out and hustle at the start and it prevents anyone stepping in at the last minute. You can't buy these prizes—but you can buy them. You can buy them with thiusistic efforts. Bear in mind that votes cannot be bought—the votes are given for subscription payments and by means of the coupons. In the meantime, be sure to send in the Nomination Blank today—or bring it with you when you call at campaign headquarters. Care to send to neglect such a wonderful opportunity? **Read the Announcement, Page 3** Read the announcement on page 3 and start today. Once started, if you are the ambitious candidate, you need to lend such a wonderful thing—enthusiasm that should make the big automobile or one of the other grand prizes yours. **Office Open 'Till 9 o'Clock** Campaign headquarters at The Whim. 3420 S.

All is needed is the real attraction to draw the fans out. Miller, who is a real actor producer, leads the rest when it comes to modern production. His art, style of staging is original and his own work in the production is pleasing. Emmet Anthone (Gang) has got the fans eating from the palm of his hand. His entrance is the signal for long applause and when he speaks well words can't explain the enormity of applause. Ernest Whitman, the great robust tenor is a valuable asset to this company and he sings Irvin Berlins song hit "Mamie" as no one else can Anita Wilkins, the prima donna, is still possessed with that sweet soprano voice. At all times she can be heard distinctly above the wonderful singing chorus. Wm. Fountain, a very talented young man, sings a duet with Miss Wilkins. Fountain has an original style in his work and possesses much stage persona. She does her work in great fashion and possesses all the qualities that one must have to be called a musical comedy star. The chorus is well trained and the singing good. "Alabama Bound" will remain a few weeks longer and the company will put on a new show at the expiration of "Alabama Bound."

Green and Baily, another great act, shared honors on the bill. Marie Baily, a clever woman, sang well and her partner was excellent in comedy portrayed. The rest of the acts, all white, were good and Geo. Smith's orchestra played well. THE MONOGRAM Sid Perrin's big show is the attraction for the week here. The novelties presented are rare for this house and went over big. Chris Hall, the co-star with Mr. Perrin, is pleasing to look at and works pretty well in all she does. The well trained ponies dance and sing well. With the Actors. Bell West, a first-class pony worker in the Billy Kind Co., died last Saturday in Philadelphia, Pa. Miss West was sick only a short while, and her death came as a surprise to all of her associates. T. Spencer Finley, the veteran actor-manager, dropped dead last Saturday in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he was the resident manager. Mr. Finley was well liked by the theatrical element, as he was always ready to help the ones that were down. The profession really loses a friend and gentleman—yea, I can honestly say Mr. Finley was a perfect gentleman, and the Whip extends to the relatives its sympathy. Tom Cross and Margaret Jackson are doing their act with the Mamie Smith organization. Sidney Kirkpatrick and Laura Bowman were features last week at the Terrace Garden, a large loop cafe, and had to close on Sunday night on account of hoarseness. They had to stand on ice with only a thin platform under them, and it caused them much disappointment, as the management wanted to hold them through the summer. Rucker and Winfred will open at the Avenue Theatre next Monday. Davis and Stafford's "Wiff Woff Warblers" are at the Choppin Theatre, Detroit, Mich., this and next week. Diggs and Tribble are doing a few vaudeville dates in and around Chicago. Lew Henry, the stage manager at the Lyceum Theatre, Cincinnati, will no doubt become the general manager of the theatre owing to the death of T. Spencer Finley. Tony Jackson, the great song writer, died last Wednesday at his home on Wabash Ave. The funeral was held from Dan Jackson's rooms. "EAST LYNNE" "EAST LYNNE" Thursday, Friday, Saturday, April 28, 29, 30, at the Vendome Theatre. With an All-Star cast including Mabel Ballin. Barbara was beautiful—and Isabel misunderstood. And the green-eyed monster made her listen to the voice of the tempter. And with that voice ringing in her ears she took a step that all her life she lived but to regret. You must see this age-old classic unfolded on the screen—you'll never forget it. Never in the history of the screen in America has any motion picture theatre invited its patrons to witness the showing of so great a film classic. Greater than the book. Greater than the play. "THE LOVE SPECIAL" "THE LOVE SPECIAL" At the Voume Theatre, Sunday May 1, Leapin, Wallace, Reid, May 1, featuring Wallace Reid. All aboard for a sizzling trip through the West and the land of romance. A trip engineered by dare-devil Wally as builder of railroads, battler of nature and wooer of fair ladies. Skirting the crags of towering Sierra, plunging through snow scenes the most majestic ever screened. Ending in a wild night ride through a blizzard, and letting you off all happy and gasping for breath. Remember Reid in a racing auto? Now watch him burn up the rails. "THE TRIPLE CLUE" "THE TRIPLE CLUE" At the States Theatre, Sunday, May 1, featuring Glenn White. A detective drama with a plot that will keep you guessing to the very last minute. In this picture "TEX" clears up the mystery surrounding a crime, not only proving the innocence of a man wrongfully accused and bringing the real criminal to justice, but at the same time unmasking a band of criminals who pose as spiritual mediums. Many of the profession were present and many floral designs were given. Tony was the writer of many popular songs and his memory will live with us for a long time. THE CHICAGO WHIP S "THE BANDIT AND THE PREACHER" At the States Theatre, Thursday, April 28, featuring WILLIAM S. HART. An absorbing human-interest drama.

AND PEORIA 85 ALL PHONES CANAL 2948 CHICAGO COLUMBUS IS TO STAGE A BIG OPENER When Joe Green's Chicago Giants journey over to Columbus to lock horns with John Loyd's Buckeye baseball pastimers, and incidentally help tilt the 1921 baseball lid in the Ohio city, it is freely predicted that all records for opening day attendance around the Dark Circuit will be shattered. Saturday, April 30 is the day and Mayor Thomas of the capital city will throw wide the door of welcome to the athletes, and will send the new Ohio team on their merry way, boosting the kick-off by tossing the first ball over the home plate, followed by a speech of welcome. The business men's association, boosters club, Ninth Regiment, O. N. G. and civic organizations of various sorts of Columbus, together with the ball teams are going to put the fireworks to a party designed to drag the ball over the field. The populace "Rule" Foster, president of the National Association of Colored Professional Baseball Clubs will be one of the honor guests, while Ira Lewis, Managing Editor of the Pittsburgh Courier, Frank Young, Sporting Editor of the Chicago Defender and Dave Wyatt, public agent of the league, will be on hand so that baseball devotees in all parts will know just how firm the Ohio burg stands for the great national game under the banner of organization among the darker people of this country. THE PLAYERS. The sponsor for the Chicago Giants, neither Loyd of the Columbus club, have engaged in much horn blowing over the men that are lined up for the diamond fighting on their respective teams. Despite their Sphynix-like attitude, it is suspected all, along the line, that these two ball clubs are going to produce a front that will equal, if not surpass any team or teams already picked for front runner honors. The Chicago Giants are able to trot out a bunch of artillerymen that can stand up and fight to the last ditch under any kind of fire. Frank Wickware, the veteran on the staff, is carrying much of that ability that annexed him the prestige of the greatest pitcher of all time. Big Taylor's form last season, established the well founded belief that he is the most feared heaver on the circuit, while lin letty Luther, the opposition will find a foe worthy of the steel. The veteran on the front in the rolls and the youngsters on the roll are coming fast and efficient. The fans will lamp a real catcher in young Duncan. Loyd will be put to a severe test to outshine short stop Beckwith, while the Chicago infield and outgarden are framed strong on the defense and will wage a fierce and menacing offense. The Chicago outfit will have their work all cut out in downing such an aggregation as Britt, Roberts, Lane, Alexander, Ewing, Loyd and mates, and the first games of the big league race are bound to furnish much fan fodder and real nitty pastiming for the Ohio capital populace. BIG HONORS FALL TO BRONZE BOXER IN CANADA TORONTO, Can., April 26—Ben Ponteau annexed the big honors in the amateur boxers tournament held in this city being placed first over a large field of contestants. Ponteau is the colored American champion in the 135 pound class, and gave a nifty exhibition of his ability. The colored star was showered with praise, and was the recipient of the special compliments of Mayor Church of Toronto, who presented the winners in the different classes with medals. Ponteau has received many offers to turn professional, as experts see in him a worthy aspirant to the lightweight championship that was so ably defended at one time by Joe Gans. All who have seen the new star, pronounce him a worthy foe for any of the present stars among the lightweights and predict for him a bright future should he at any time turn to the professional ranks. DAKOTA LEAGUERS FLAYED The St. Louis Giants are in great form and will show the teams in the new National Association of Colored Professional Baseball Clubs some real competition during the entire playing season. On Sunday the Giants took the opening game of the season from the strong Huron team of the South Dakota League in easy fashion and in doing so demonstrated that they can hit left-hand pitching with the same freedom that they have mauled right-handers in the past. Carr, who was more or less an in-and-out last summer has rounded to form nicely and held the Hurons to six scattered hits in seven innings. In only one inning did the enemy swatters reach his delivery for more than one hit the Hurons bunched two in the seventh, but Carr tightened up and no score resulted. The score of the game was 7 to 1 in favor of the Giants when the game was over. Little Jimmy Oldham is also in great form and pitched hitless ball for the final two rounds of the game. Joe Hewitt is playing a great game of short and put five neat assists in Snoopie as well as as well as put-outs. The star played the play of the day went to McAdoo, who gathered in a pop fly with a man on first and no outs and reached far out and tagged the man who had left first just before the latter slid into the sack. It was a truly great play and the fans gave Mack a hand. Giants tallied in the first on Hewitt's double and Monjin's sacrifice sent him to third and Charleston's long fly allowed Hewitt to s塘er over with the tally. The Giants opened a barrage of base hits in the fifth and six successive hits scored four runs. In the sixth two more were added but these proved superfluous. Ledman, the popular comedienne is making them laugh at Sam Vicks bungalow in Milwaukee. On Tuesday night he will entertain Johnny Dundee and Rocky Kansas, the star pugilists who will battle Tuesday. CY EWING, CATCHER. The work of this Massilon, Ohio, high school boy is going to be a revelation to the baseball devotees all over the circuit. He is a capable receiver, a lightning-like thrower, is full of pep and weilds a dangerous bludgeon. His ability and hustling style should at once endear him to the hearts of the Buckeye city fans. In Roy Roberts, Columbus fandom is going to boast of one of the most consistent slabman in base ball today. There is not a big club in the whole country but what whose player can PROGRESSIVES PLAY RUBE SUNDAY PROGRESSIVES PLAY RUBE SUNDAY The Progressives, one of the leading clubs of the Chicago League will be the attraction at Schorling Park this Sunday. The fans are in for neat exhibition of play this time, as the Leaguers come loaded to the full capacity with the best pastimers to be found around these parts. The Chicago clubs that are fortunate enough to be booked against the DeMoss machine, consider it a grand opportunity to lock horns with the colored champs, as a win or a good fierce fight puts them many rounds up the ladder along the season club for prestige. A win over the Giants is considered the best sort of advertising, and all clubs being cognizant of that fact, entail no small amount of expense to make sure of a line-up that can carry the colored fellows to a spirited nine round play. There are many pitchers of high class to draw from, and we learn that the Progressives will trot out Spencer Heatha a White Sox twirler, who has been working in the Chicago League this spring preparatory to going back with the big leaguers. Heath is said to be in rare form and expects to unfurl enough of his well known pitching goods to take the Fosterites to a fall. The Giants new men will be in the points of the game so as to give the fans a good peep at them and pass judgment as to the class of goods they are packing. CUBANS BLANK A. B. C.'s. 2-0. INDIANAPOLIS, April 26. - Jeffries and LeBlanc staged a pitchers' battle at Washington park yesterday, the latter hurling the Cubans to a 2 to 0 victory over the A. B. C.'s. The Cubans pitched a game against the veteran A. B. C. twirler pitched a great game, allowing only two hits until the ninth, when the Islanders earned their lone run of the game. The Cubans pitched out his squeeze hunt, scoring Baro. The first run was scored on an outfield error and infield out. The A. B. C.'s had a couple of chances to put across some runs, but LeBlanc pitched out the ball and helped out of the hole by good work on the infield. The A. B. C.'s looked like a real ball club and seemed to be in as good condition as the rest of the team. Williams, the new shortstop, pulled the feature play when he raced back of second in the fourth inning and grabbed Rio's bid for a hit, stepped on second, forcing Parrado, and then shortstop at first for a double killing.

DETROIT STARS ROMP HOME IN NINTH Circuit Clot by Wesley and Squeeze With Petway on Scoring End Brings Victory to Blount's Men. DETROIT, Mich., April 30.—Detroit Stars won their opening game of the 1921 season at Mack Park Sunday, defeating the Cowpers All Stars, 6 to 5. The game was exciting from start to finish. "Pete" Hill, the Stars' field general, used four pitchers. Gatewood started the game and gave way after two innings of good work to Cooper. Force, a new pitcher, followed Cooper and showed a world of "smoke." He struck out the side in both innings that he worked. Holland relieved Force in the seventh. In the ninth the Cowpers went into the lead. Wesley saved the day for the colored champions by lifting the ball over the fence in the ninth, tying the score. Two bits and the squeeze with Petway on third and Rosello at bat gave the stars the run needed to win. About five thousand fans attended the game. DETROIT STARS.

Opening Games The Kansas City Monarchs will open their season at home, starting Saturday with the St. Louis Giants as the attraction for a five day show. The St. Louisans are carrying a pretty nity bunch of athletes this season, and are picked to have the greatest outfield in the league in Charleston, Blackwell and Dudley. Stacked against that trio, the Monarchs have McNair, Donaldson and Carr, a set of fly chasers that are hard to beat. Pitcher Drake of the St. Louis outfit appears able to offer to offer and he has the ability of Finner and Carr, making the visiting moundsmen size favorably with Rogan, Curry and Crawford, the classy Monarch trio of hillsmen. Both clubs have new faces on the infield, and reports have all the late acquisitions packing a batch of worthy playing class. AURORAS BOWLED OVER BY FOSTERS IN 1st GAME Giants New Batterymen Sparkle. While the Old Guard Twinkle And Display Good Form. The American Giants knocked the lid off the 1921 season here last Sunday by tabbing an easy win over the Aurora club of the Chicago League, the pitching or letty Stark making the go a rather mild afternoon for DeMoss and co-workers. The new south-paw displayed streaks of lack of control, but pulled himself together in the one or two close places that cropped up in the game, establishing the belief among the fans that he is a pretty nifty sort of an acquisition to the strong forces that are to heave for the local champs this season. The visiting team was unable to touch the Stark delivery with any amount of safety until away up into the seventh round when they cracked one to left just over the infield; in the ninth another rolled to center, and that was all for the day. Poindexter, the new catcher at once fastened a hold upon Schorling park fandom through the manner in which he slams the globule with the bat, pegs and prances around the field as if he had been one of us all the many years. He, right now, looms up as a mighty strong addition to the Foster forces, as does Lyons, who gave a classy exhibition of his speed in getting down the first base path. Torrentite, great Cuban player, failed the first strike out of the local season; he too annexed the first base on balls, as well as the first stolen base. The locals should have tabbed a shut-out, only for timidness on the part of the judge of play, who failed to take the proper account of an interference by a runner when Bobby Williams was about to make the last throw that would have completed a double play. The miscue allowed the lone Aurora score to trickle over the pan. The revised American Giants look to have a speedy gang of pastimers, both in the field and on the base paths; as to how strong and consistent they will slam the ball, the first three weeks in May should reveal, as they will face the best pitching in the country in that spell.

Norfolk has been engaged as head boxer in the Dempsey training camp and his work is said to be particularly adapted to the white champions' needs for his go against the great Frenchman, Carpentier. Joe Jeanette, who fought the Frenchman some years ago, is officiating as head trainer in the latter's training camp, and many of the wise ones predict that the foxy Joes' advice will go a long ways towards aiding the foreigner to hold his own, if not trot under the wire a winner. With the well known ability of Norfolk as a scraper, it is said that the most important part of the Dempsey training will be in private; the part of the camp stunts intended for public gaze, will be all stereotype and carefully rehearsed in advance. Many experts believe Norfolk capable of snatching the crown from the terrible Dempsey, and a host of the Norfolk friends frown upon his willingness to act as a sparring partner to the champion in his work-outs. They cite the refusal of Harry Wills to offer himself as a training aid, and fans throughout the whole country agree with the Wills stand in the matter. One thing is certain, if a negro boxer is an undesirable in a regular ring encounter, then the headliners among the dark scrappers are lowering their prestige, as well as lending valuable aid to the enemy, when they act under instructions to pull their best blows that the training fighter be not injured. There has been a long string of colored fighters in the past who have offered themselves for slaughter in the training camp, and from Bob Armstrong's time on down to Big Bill Tate, not one of them has fought worth a tinkers dam in a regular fight after the training camp rough fare. Like Fulton, whose great prowess as a fighter keeps him on the tabooed list of the head slam him on the tabooed list of the head slammers, Norfolk is compelled to assume various and many ticklish positions for a livelihood, but he would make a tremendous and favorable impression upon the whole fighting fandom if he point blank refused the Dempsey assignment as aid in the training camp stunts.

Those sinister segregation signs in the Capitol at Washington have been torn down. No longer does the flagrant insulting warning of "For White Only" meet the eye. The appearance of these insults have been removed. They are no longer visible to the eye. Are they still visible to the mind? Does he of black skin feel instinctively that THIS is for white only and THAT for black? From the actions of certain of those upon whom the sign and badge of inferiority and undesirability has placed it seems to follow that they, too, have accepted the dictum of their enemies. The signs still hang in the archives of the black man's mind. It has been mentioned before in these columns that the real curse of American prejudice was the mental prison of the black man. To destroy this curse is one of the tasks of our newspapers. To have us feel that there are no restrictions and limitations upon us innately, to have us know that we have the powers of ascendency; to have us tear down from our minds every iota and scintilla of inferiority and unfitness. This is the task and the path of duty is clear. To the unbiased thinker the facts decree that the black man is only fifty-five years removed from slavery. This is true historically, practically and presently. A stimulus must be applied to the mind of the black man to remove him from the damnable curse which has been placed upon him. He must think ahead of the times and not behind them. Because of this undeniable mental requisite no compromise can be made with "half-loaf philosophers." No truce can be signed with Jim Crow religion and no treaty will be parleyed with taxation without representation. It is liberty absolute with no qualification. Patrick Henry's seven immortal words typify, the fruits of earth are for all mankind. No reservations "For White Only" will be tolerated. The Jim Crow signs and badges of inferiority must be torn from our minds. Let us think like men and act like God's chosen people. Curs and Cowards. White man a coward is a mental query that f to all thinking Black people. The W light the Indians and combatted the element, however, were waged in order that h creeping insect will instinctively fight to p hyena will show its teeth when backed, and gives evidence of no vein of bravery, who come in great numbers and under an unwarned, unprotected and unarmedacter nor courage. They are cowards. Is the White man a coward is a mental query that sometimes presents itself to all thinking Black people. The White man in America fought the Indians and combatted the elements of nature. His conflicts, however, were waged in order that he might live. The smallest creeping insect will instinctively fight to protect its life. The cowardly hyena will show its teeth when backed to the wall. 'Tis natural and gives evidence of no vein of bravery. Those who come in great numbers and under the cover of night to fight an unwarmed, unprotected and unarmed enemy have neither character nor courage. They are cowards. Those who attack women and children with bombs and terror are measly yellow curs and manhood to them is unknown. A home for nurses, for nurses of the Black race, has been made the object of the Chicago "Vandals'" hatred, while these defenseless women lay sleeping some of the devil's conspirators crept stealthily and placed a dynamite bomb upon the threshold of their home. As the fourteen timid women lay sleeping the bomb exploded tearing gaping holes through the walls of brick and mortar and hurled the unfortunate women from their little iron beds with fearful impact. Hysteria ruled, panic-terror stalked grim and spectral like, feminine screams rent the night air, pandemonium reigned supreme and the measly yellow cur dog cowards slunked and skulked away under the ebony shades of the night. As a sinking ship seeks a watery grave the stentorian cries of the bold hearted captain are heard commanding that women and children be first in the lifeboats. Men stand back and with set teeth look death grimly in the face while women and children are protected. In Chicago as the ship of the commonwealth strikes upon soals of racial friction the rule of women and children first might well be preserved. Instead women and children of dark skin are hurled into the black waters of race disturbance by white men. Are these men cowards? Why are they tolerated by the state which bred Lovejoy and Lincoln? Does Illinois condone attacks upon women? Does the color of the victim's skin or the texture of her hair palliate the crime of yellow cur dogs? If the men who fought in the Argonne forest, who marched into the jaws of death at Chateau Thierry, who faced eternity at Ypres, be they white or black, if they will stand by while women are preyed upon by cowards, then valor is a foolish thing and timidness a virtue. The bomb which has injured three nurses who minister to human suffering no doubt was hurled by paid assassins. These paid assassins were probably paid by those who object to the occupation by black people of homes in certain neighborhoods. Propaganda has been spread by Jews and others against black people. This propaganda evidently and ostensibly continues even though Henry Ford attempts to further crush the maltreated Israelites. From such a source propaganda against a more maltreated people is heart rending. The proximate cause of the bombing of nurses is the continued activities of organizations who claim that the presence of black people in certain neighborhoods is undesirable and that residential values are sadly depreciated. To enforce their objections bombs have been hurled, over forty all told, and thousands of dollars in damages have been committed. No objections, concrete or sentimental, justify the attack on women and children. Property and homes in civilized communities are the results of the genius of men. Without man matter is dead and brutish and to destroy man to preserve matter is a logical absurdity. When men attempt to destroy women to preserve material benefits the world is turned topsy turvy. Those who fight women are measly yellow cur dogs and those who permit, palliate and condone such attacks are accessories to crime. If such acts continue, Infandium, Woe Unutterable.

To win in a campaign, when the prize is anything of much value, as in this case, consistent effort is required.

Therefore the publishers of the Whip regard the hearty response with which this campaign has been received as a high compliment.

MARY MAY Health Hints Flies have been looked upon for some time as spreaders of disease some time as sp D r. Woods Hutchinson writes "The fly breeds in dirt and it feeds on food, and as it never wipes its feet, the interesting results can be imagined." Flies spread disease largely by carrying germs from flth upon which they have DR. WOODS HUTCHINSON writes "The fly breeds in dirt and it feeds on food, and as it never wipes its feet, the interesting results can be imagined." Flies spread disease largely by carrying germs from fifth upon which they have been feeding or walking and deposit these germs in or on articles of food or upon dishes that are later to contain food. Flies may also directly infect persons by alighting when germ-laden, on lips or on open cuts and sores. Germs carried by flies to milk especially at the barn or dairy or restaurant where the milk is warm may multiply rapidly and number millions by the time the milk is ready to be consumed. The fact that germs by the thousands are on the feet, legs, sucking mouth parts, bodies and wings of flies can no longer be denied. These parts mentioned above contain thousands of hairs to which germ-laden filth readily adhere. If there is any "Doubting Thomas" that wants to disregard the germs, let him take the leg of a fly and place it under the microscope. In the filth on the leg he will see thousands of the vile and destructive creatures. Among diseases that flies may spread are typhoid fever, diarrhea, dysentery, tuberculosis, diphtheria, infantile paralysis, smallpox and anthrax. The fact that flies can spread any one of these diseases is enough to code them or destruction. It easier, less costly, and calls for less sacrifice to prevent disease than to fight it after it starts. It is up to you therefore to do your part in disease prevention by helping destroy flies and also prevent their development. In Manchester, England, in 1906, Niven made daily counts of the number of flies caught in special traps at different places. He compared the number of flies caught each week in all traps with the number of deaths caused in the city by diarrhea and found that as the number of flies increased the number of deaths correspondingly increased. Flies after crawling and feeding in spittoons or on gobs of spit deposit on sidewalks and gutters by careless persons ignorant of sanitation and lacking in manners, may carry the germs of tuberculosis, diphtheria and other diseases as mentioned above. Flies may walk and feed on spitum in the fruit stand and the orchard. Rosy apples at the fruit stand and tuberculosis of the spitter may be thus passed on to the eaters of the apples. Swatting the fly around the home or catching them in traps is helpful and should be energetically maintained, but the fight against the flies will not succeed unless the breeding places are eliminated or treated to prevent the full development of the flies. In the next article I will discuss the flies and their breeding places and how to prevent the same. Y. M. C. A. News The City Hi-Y Athletic Meet, held at the Y. M. C. A. College, Wabash High.

MARK METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH Fiftieth Street and Wabash Avenue —Rev. John W. Robinson, Pastor. St. Mark rejoices and is to be congratulated upon having our pastor returned to us for his 10th year. Pastor and people are to be congratulated on the zealous work we have done together that make St. Mark stand second to none in this or any other city. Next Sunday morning is our regular monthly communion service. The pastor will preach at the usual hour. Come early so that you may have the communion and also hear the first sermon in this conference year. At 2 p. m. our Every-Member canvass will begin, then men having been seen this sermon will be given two hours of 2 and 5 P. M. Within that time it is hoped that every member of St. Mark will have been visited and have made their pledge. We are planning for a greater year of work for God and Humanity and a greater ingathering of souls which means a greater St. Mark. Let each member enlist at the beginning of the conference year that success may crown our efforts. Personal Mention Rev. and Mrs. J. W. Robinson of St Mark church is visiting the Niagara Falls and Boston, Mass. They have been in attendance at the annual conference at Cleveland, Ohio, and will go from there. INSTITUTIONAL CHURCH The last quarterly conference was pronounced the best in the history of the church. All of the reports were submitted and showed excellent work done by each of the auxiliaries.

The music was excellent. At the home of Mrs. Celia Webb Hill, 4437 Avenue Ave. on the 25th inst. Rev. Henry H. Hooks, was host to a group of distinguished men at a dinner given in honor of Dr. John A. Gregg, president of Wilberforce University. Among those present were Bishop H. B. Parks, Editor R. S. Abott, Dr. H. E. Stewart, Dr. J. M. Henderson, Rev. L. H. Owens and others. The OLIVET BAPSTAT CHURCH Rev. L K Williams D D Minister Rev. L. K. Williams, D. D., Minister The Olivet Baptist church is in the midst of a big soul saving campaign. The Rev. Dr. Boon of Texas is assisting the pastor in presenting the gospel message in story while Prof. Smiley of Louisville, Ky., is presenting the gospel in song. Prof. Smiley is a gospel singer of national reputation, and the public is certainly enjoying his singing. Every night a large number of persons unite with the church. Thursday afternoon from 2 to 5 there will be a big mass meeting for women only and Friday afternoon there will be a special meeting for the Sunday School children. Friday night will be men night. The library of the church is now open from 3 to 5 and from 7 to 9 every day in the week except Thursday. A big attendance is expected next Sunday. All are welcome. La Grange Church Notes The service was well attended here last Sunday at the 2nd Baptist church Many strangers were present to hear the Y. W. C. A. News $11,800 for the Indiana Avenue Branch of the Y. W. C. A. is the goal in the annual budget campaign of the Chicago Association which will be launched May 9-19 throughout the city, according to an announcement just made by Mrs. C. C. Bullock. Mrs. Anna Grayson, 5362 Federal St. will be campaign chairman for the Indiana Avenue branch. With her will be associated Mrs. W. F. Lawton, chairman of publicity, Mrs. M. C. B. Mason, chairman of special gifts and Mrs. Ethel Hammond, chairman of the business women's division and Mrs. Ida R. Tyler, chairman of women's teams. Of the money raised part will go towards maintaining the Blue Triangle club house, the club and recreation center established a little over a year ago. Here classes are conducted in sewing, cooking, millinery, dressmaking, dramatics and the girls meet for social, business and religious programs. There are 200 girls enrolled in classes and clubs in the Industrial department, and 590 in the Girls' Work department, the latter school girls and younger business girls. $1,000 will go for improving the beach at Camp Hammond on Wolf Lake. Hammond will make swimming possible, and for building an athletic field and adding to the recreational equipment. 300 girls attended Hammond last summer, and it is thought that the season that begins July 1st will see an even greater number at camp. Each Y. W. C. A. center in the city will work hard to raise its own quota. The campaign for the Young Women's Christian Association begins on the 9th of May and ends the 19th. We are anxious to know just what the people of Chicago are going to do for the welfare of their young women. Much has been done for the young men who are far more able to meet the different responsibilities of a strange city, but their interest seems to lag when it comes to the young woman, and why should such be the case. Our girls are the future mothers of the next generation—they Writing pastor tell the story of the cross. At 10 a. m. there was a big attendance in the Sunday school and the lesson was well taught by the teachers. Sister Green, the shepherd, knows well how to take care of her school. Pastor Rev B. L. Rose preached in the morning, and this man of God was in the spirit. At 3 p. m. Rev. Folker, of Chicago, preached a grand sermon to the missionary circle. The 2nd Baptist church is on the upward march under its new pastor, who encourages his members to read the Chicago Whip. The day's collection was $25.00. Sunday, May 1, is communion day. All members must be present at 8 p. m. Dr. and Mrs. Dexter Reynold of 3420 Vernon Avenue, entertained at dinner in honor of Mr. Lewis Gregory, of Washington, D. C., special teacher of Bahai Assembly, who is in Chicago attending the Bahai Congress at Assembly Hall.

Mrs. Neomi Pettyford of Detroit, Mich., is the guest of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Bunn of 3546 Vincennes Avenue. Dr. J. C. Cameron, who has been in Chicago for his health and who is a guest of the Idlewild Hotel, is fast improving. Miss Fredericka Young of St. Louis was a visitor of her cousin, Miss Ruth Bradley who is stopping at the Vincennes Hotel. Miss Young had a splendid stay at her maternal home. Mrs. A. K. Whitener at 3650 Wabash Ave, has completed her summer home of five rooms at Idlewild, Michigan, where she expects to spend the summer. QUINN CHAPEL NOTES Dr. R. E.

CHURCH 4644 Dearborn Strzet—Rev. J. A. Winters, Pastor. Last Sunday was a high day in Zion here. A message full of fire was delivered by the pastor to the overflowing audience. Some sweet music was made by the choir under the direction of Robt. Lightfoot. Upon invitation twelve additions were made to the church. In the afternoon the pastor preached at St. Mary's A. M. E. church and our choir sang. The big banquet and reception given here last Monday evening by the board of stewards in honor of Father Sam'l. Johnson's 85th birthday and his forty-ninth year as a steward was a brilliant affair. Same was largely attended. The stewards contest closed with Mr. Robt. Scott the victor. He reported to the board $208.00. All together $339.00 was raised. The friends and members are anxious to see entire indebtedness consummated to that the new auditorium may be erected. Next Sunday, May 1st, is our last quarterly meeting day. We especially invite you to be present. Communion service at 3:00 P. M. ing to fit them for what is to come. They need a swimming pool, gymnasium, and tennis court where they may get all the exercise they need, this would not only benefit the girls but would be a credit to the community as well. We are far behind other cities in this respect—Detroit, St. Louis, Cleveland and many other smaller cities are ahead of Chicago. As the colored girl lives, plays, works, dreams, thinks and acts, so does her race. The colored man cannot rise above her standards. She is a community problem and it is wisdom for all who bear the welfare of the community on their hearts, to add their efforts to those who are giving their time and thought to her. It will mean much to her and to the community if with sympathy, eagerness and longing it seeks to become acquainted with her that we may see what she has to give to the community and what the community may owe to her. Dinner was served last Tuesday night at Central Branch to the captains of the Business Women's Divisions. The American Legion J. L. Carter, Post Employment Officer, will hold office hours between 3-4 P. M. Mondays and Saturdays of each week at Headquarters, George L. Giles Post, 3201 S. Wabash Ave. Ex-service men desiring employment should consult Comrade Carter. The George L. Giles Post has enlisted the aid of a number of ladies in their Service Campaign. Miss Charlotte Tervalon is acting as chairman of this excellent committee of ladies. The American Legion of the state of Illinois is now soliciting one dollar donations to enable it to carry on its work in connection with disabled ex-service men. The Service Department of the Legion which is conducting this soliciting will distribute eight prizes. Among the donations—three Nash cars, one player piano, Victoria—fishing tackle and other gifts.
