WEARY OF POOR HEALTH, GIRL TAKES POISON
Leaves Pathetic Note Saying She Is Tired Of Battling Disease.
Discouraged and despondent, for several months in poor and declining health with a lingering disease, Hattie Lewis, 19 years of age, ended her battle with life at her home 4104 State St, Saturday night by taking poison.
After all efforts to relieve the girl had failed, she was removed to the County Hospital, where she died at 200 a. m., Sunday morning.
Inquest was held over her body at the County morgue Monday, where it was found that she came to her death by swallowing rat poison.
Miss Lewis was a waitress and lived at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. David Lewis.
In the room where the girl took the fatal dose, a pathetic note was found in her handwriting saying that she was weary of life and her ceaseless battle against disease.
GEORGIA PEONAGE CASES NOW BEFORE ASSEMBLY FOR REMEDIAL ACTION
ATLANTA, June 18—Legislation on finance and law enforcement is expected to occupy much of the time of the general assembly of Georgia which convenes in annual session Wednesday. Hugh M. Dorsey, retiring governor, has indicated that in his final message to the legislature he will propose various measures designed to prevent mob violence and to change the methods of trying persons accused of taking part in lynchings. Former United States Senator Thomas W. Hardwick, who takes office as governor June 25, declared in a recent address that while standing for law enforcement, he believed Governor Dorsey's recent pamphlet on "The Negro in Georgia," a slander on the state" and that soon would issue an official reply to it.
One member of the legislature has publicly announced that he intends to offer resolutions providing for an investigation with a view to remedying conditions if found as Governor Dorsey charges, or impeachment of the governor if not out.
RECOVER POSSESSION OF NASHVILLE Y. M. C. A
NASHVILLE, Tenn., June 25. Decision has just been handed down from the local courts giving control and management of the Y. M. C. A. building here back into the hands of those who put so much money behind it.
The Central Y. M. C. A. (white), had attempted to dispose of the Colored branch without the knowledge or consent of the members of the branch. Prominent among those who made the successful fight to save the building were Dr. Henry Allen Boyd; Hon. J. C. Napier, Dr. C. V. Roman and Bishop I. W. Scott.
STABS WIFE WHO REFUSES TO LIVE WITH HIM
Because she refused to commit her destiny any longer to her husband, Louis Grigsby, Mrs. Inez Grigsby, 24, 3238 Wabash Ave., was attacked by Grigsby Thursday night at the corner of 34th and State Sts., and vigorously hacked about the nose, shoulder and left side. Her screams attracted a large crowd to her rescue. She was placed in the Provident Hospital.
Evade Mob
CAMERON, Texas, June 25.—Law officers have succeeded in spiriting away Charles Sanders, whose life was in danger at the hands of an angry mob.
U. of P. MAKES FIRST WOMAN DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY
PHILADELPHIA, Penn., June 25.—Miss Sadie Mossell, of Philadelphia, bears the distinction of being the first woman of her race in America or probably the world to receive the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. At the recent commencement exercises at the University of Pennsylvania in the presence of
mencement exercises at the University of Pennsylvania in the presence of hundreds of alumni, visitors, the fac
Miss Sadie Mossell, numrure of alumni, visitors, the faculty, and the deans of the various colleges, this high degree was conferred upon the young Philadelphia woman.
Miss Mossell is the daughter of Aaron Mossell, 2908 Diamond St., and is the niece of Dr. N. F. Mossell, a prominent Philadelphia physician.
BUSINESS STATUS OF SO. SIDE NEEDS INVESTIGATION
Chicago's South Side is mostly populated with colored people. It is their favorite spot and there they live and thrive to the best of their ability. Strange to say most of the business which is conducted on the South Side is operated by white people. Indeed a certain race of white people supply the wants of the colored people in all their localities all over America. The colored people support almost all of the white business of the South Side and receive very little in return, in fact in most instances they get the worst of every bargain. Many of the larger businesses refuse to employ colored people and flatly refuse to make an open bid for their patronage. Only two weeks ago a gentleman opening a new concern was informed by his neighbors—also white—that this was one neighborhood where it was not necessary to advertise or otherwise cater to the people to get their patronage. This gentleman evidently considers the colored people fools.
Great Exposure Planned.
The colored people have learned at last—thank God—that they must come to their own newspapers for information and intelligence as to what is going on in this city and to the contest at age 18. The newspapers are fighting their battles and in consequence the Black man's press is becoming a powerful factor in waking up their people. It was the press of the black man which exposed the Haitian atrocities, the Georgia murder farm, the truth about Tulsa and the inside of lynchings, Jim crowings and segregation. It will expose in Chicago the business places which refuse to support the community institutions and the newspapers which are read by their patrons. The painless dentists have learned a lesson in pitiless publicity and beginning with next week's issue of the The Chicago Whip, full list with details of each particular business will appear. A true story will be told of the interviews with the proprietors, as well as a full explanation as to why they will not legitimately hire colored people and dignifiedly place their wares in the advertisement columns of their patrons' papers. Watch for next week's issue and every issue thereafter until the truth is told.
WOMAN AND HUSBAND BURNED WHEN KEROSENE STOVE EXPLODES
Mrs. Elizabeth Neal. 125 W. 31st St., was badly burned about the hands, breast, and stomach, June 19, when a kerosene stove she was lighting exploded. In an effort to extinguish the fire, her husband, Richard Neal, was burned about the hands.
CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, JUNE 25th, 1921
CORONER'S JURY FREES SLAYER OF GUNMAN
Exonerate Man Who Killed Assailant Who Drew Gun And Fired At Him.
A dispute over right-of-way privileges through an alley in the rear of 5655 State St., precipitated a bloody fight between Elwood Thurman, 31, 5655 State St., and Charles Vaughn, 3413 Calumet Ave., resulting in the death of Thurman.
After a rough scuffle with the interchange of blows and oghas, Thurman rushed into his home, returning with a revolver. He rushed at Vaughn, firing one shot, which missed its mark. Knocking the revolver from his hand, Vaughn drew his knife, stabbing Thurman four times.
Thurman was wounded about the arms and chest, and his left lung and the tissue of his heart were punctured. He died two hours later in the Provident Hospital.
At the inquest field Thursday at ackson's morgue, Vaughn was exculpated by the coroner's jury on the grounds that he acted in self-defense.
TULSA, Oklahoma, June 25.—The irony of the so-called "sweeping investigation" of the recent race rioting became apparent here last week when several peculiar indictments were returned.
Sixty-four indictments in all were returned. Four were for men who are now in the county jail, and who were there previous to and during the rioting, and who could not in any way have participated in the riot. Another indictment was returned against a man who is and has been for the last eight months a prisoner in the state penitentiary at McAlester.
Still other indictments were returned and warrants issued for the arrest of several men who were killed during the rioting.
No Whites Arrested.
Throughout the entire investigation so far no white man has been arrested for participation in the reign of terror. It has been stated that a few have been indicted, but so far no attempt at all has been made to effect their arrest.
CLYDE MANNING'S NEW TRIAL SET FOR JULY 30
CLYDE MANNING'S NEW TRIAL SET FOR JULY 30
COVINGTON, Ga., June 25.—Clyde Manning, convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment in connection with the "Murder Farm" deaths, has been granted a new trial, set for July 30. Manning's attorney based his motion for a new trial upon the fact that all the testimony for the defendant had not been made clear enough to the jury, and that new and additional testimony would be brought to bear in an effort to have a more favorable verdict returned.
LAD SWINGING ON TRUCK CRUSHED BY WHEELS
"Stealing" a ride on an automobile truck, Fred Wright, age 8, 522 E. 37th PL, fell beneath the wheels and was crushed to death early this week. The truck, which is the property of the People's Ice Cream Co., was passing 37th St. and Rhodes Ave., when the boy ran out and attempted to "hitch on" behind. His coat became entangled and he fell between the heavy wheels, which passed over his body. Inquest was held over the body Tuesday at Jackson's Morgue.

Malone Grigsby, 23 years of age, living in the squatters' camp, 31st St. and the lake front, now known as "the home of homeless men," was hit and instantly killed by an Illinois Central train, June 17. Grigsby was attempting to make the crossing at 31st St., when struck. At the inquest held June 18, at Jones' Morgue, 3031 Cottage Grove Ave., the railroad company was held blameless.
In an effort to prevent further accidents of this nature, the legal department of the Illinois Central Railroad has asked the city to provide lodgement elsewhere for these men.

MOB PUTS TORCH TO LODGES AND CHURCHES, THEN BURNS MANALIVE
Unrivalled Reign Of Terror Stalks Through Georgia Towns As Mobs Burn Everything In Sight.
MOULTRIE, Ga., June 25—After a reign of terror lasting three days, a mob of whites seized John Henry Williams as he was being escorted to the courthouse, and burned him at the stake Saturday.
Chuches and Lodges in Ashes
The burning of Williams came as a climax to a three-day reign of terror, during which bands of blood-thirsty whites roamed through this vicinity, burning churches, homes, and lodge buildings. In Autreyville, near here the A. M. E. church was burned and two lodge buildings. Men and women were chased through the streets like rabbits and whipped into insensibility when captured.
Williams Charged With Murder
The mob rule resulted from the murder of Lorena Wilkes, a 12-year-old white girl. Williams was charged with the crime. His innocence as guilt will never be proven. As he was being escorted to the courtroom from the courtyard jail for trial he was seized and taken from the officers by the mob which had congregated about the courthouse. He was then carried to the alleged scene of the crime, where he was tied to the stump of a tree.
Williams is said to have exhibited extreme fortitude as he was burned slowly to death. As the match was applied to the pile of brush around him he lighted a cigarette and made but little outcry as the flames enveloped him.
Did Officers Resist Seizure?
It has not been ascertained whether the authorities offered any resistance to the lynchers. No report has been made of any attempt on the part of the sheriff to flirtrate the lynchers, or to disperse the mob which had congregated around the courthouse when it was learned that Williams was about to be taken to trial.
JUDGE CITES LINGOLN
AS HE SENTENCES
CONVICTED DOCTOR
Dr. R. A. Shell, with offices at 35th St. and Rhodes Ave., was convicted Monday of illegal sales of narcotics and sentenced to two years in prison and a fine of $500.
In sentencing Shell, Federal Judge Page took advantage of the situation to make this remark: "When Abraham Lincoln freed your Race from slavery, he did it not out of sympathy, but because he thought Negroes were intelligent enough to enjoy the rights and responsibilities of white men. I cannot excuse your crime."
Dr. Shell is a prominent member and officer of Trinity M. E. Church, 30th St., and Prairie Ave.
SAY RUSSIAN'S DEATH IN HAITI WAS INSTIGATED
BY MARINES
PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti, June 25—Harris Lipschitz, a native of Russia, but a naturalized American citizen, has been murdered at Cavaillon under circumstances now being investigated by the War Department. It is charged that United States Marines incited natives to murder the Russian because he refused to lend money to Lieut. Grant, a marine officer. Lipschitz has lived in Haiti for seventeen years and is said to have had no trouble with the natives until the American Marines occupied the island. He was a wealthy importer and exporter.
BELGIAN CONGO ABLAZE WITH NATIVE REVOLT
---
Organize To Resist "Atrocities Greater Than Knig Leopold's".
LEOPOLDVILL13. Belgian Congo. June 19th (delayed) Europeans are frantically fleeing the Belgian Congo in an effort to escape the fury of natives who are rebelling against treatment accorded them in the rubber belt.
Travelers arriving here from the interior report that a widespread wave of rebellion has spread through the bush, and the natives are wreaking a havoc of revenge upon the "European usurpers."
Are World War Veterans
Many of the revolting natives are veterans of the world war and received military experience in the trenches on the Western Front. They were taught the advantages of organization and use of modern weapons of warfare. Several of them wear decorations for bravery against the Germans. They have selected the village of Kenshasa as headquarters and have organized a sorrowful army equipped with rifles and ammunition.
Charge Unrest to Americans
It has been a belief that the general unrest has been fostered by American Negroes who have returned to Africa.

and are urging their blood brothers to rise in arms and "rescue the Dark Continent from the heel of the invader."
Natives Mistreated
The immediate cause of the uprising, however, is laid at the door of the Belgian government, which staggering under the weight of her war debt, is attempting to wring from the Congo enough gold to meet her obligations in Europe. It is charged that the same tactics which made King Leopold the most disgraced monarch on earth, are being repeated. The natives are said to be in virtual slavery, and are severely punished if unable to bring their required quota of rubber and ivory.

PENETRATES PANE OF PLATE GLASS SEEKING HER ERRANT LOVER
"Iron bars do not a prison make," neither is thick plate glass an impenetrable barrier, according to the police, who were attracted to 3624 Calumet Ave., at 4:00 a. m. Saturday morning when they heard glass falling as though a bomb had shattered it.
Investigation proved that Mrs. Courtney Ragland, 37 years of age, giving her address as 3357 Indiana Ave., upon being denied admittance to the Calumet Ave. address, where she suspected her lover was enconceded, had thrust her hand through the plate glass in the front door, in her frantic effort to gain admittance.
When the mixture of blood and glass was cleared away, it was found that she had severed the artery in her right arm. She is now at the Provident Hospital.

Hello! Englewood Dramatic Club Have you any ladies in your membership who are strong enough to enter the essay contest "Great Women of History"—3,000 words? Other club ladies are wondering.
The Young Men's Social Unity Club still think that they can produce a winner. Come out and meet three young men at Olivet Tuesday.
The Young Ladies Cosmopolitan Club are boasting that they are a "real literary as well as athletic" club, they say, "we do not talk much about our best membership, but when we send a book for the oratorical prize she brought back, and say, we are entering another in the Essay Contest "Nuffed."
Friends are asking why we did not criticize our Contest last week. We must state that we did do so but for unavoidable reasons the make up department omitted it—and it was better thusly. We coincided with the opinion and decision of the judges and the popular decision: Ocie R. Burns won fair and square on the points upon which judgment was to be placed. Miss Rachel Jackson won second prize "clean and clear cut." McDonald lost because of too rapid reading and continued mispronunciation of several words which we will gladly whisper to him concerning. All the contestants were above the average in delivery and the subject matter was full in every instance. The musical specialties—especially the dramatic reading was received with great applause. Read the comment in the Pitcher Informer and see what the other folks said about it.
O. yes, we beg to state to the young professional men who are inquiring "why did we not present the President of the Pilgrim Dramatic Club, whose guest we were"? It was an oversight maybe, we wish you young men to come out to the Club and get acquainted with the President, Miss Zelma Watson, who has just completed a six months' course in Chicago Business College, in the record breaking time of four months; who is a normal graduate with honors and a sweet singer in Professor J. A. Lillardi's choir. Besides that she is entered in our Essay Contest, for early August. Is that enough? The Chicago Opera Club appeared

No greater emphasis was placed upon the individuals among them than that of Miss Reeves, the President; she he said is the possessor of the head-light. Great stress was also placed upon cooperation.

Pretending that he had rags to sell him, three men lured Solomon Kaplin, 60, a Russian Jew, 1439 So. Homan Ave. into an alley in the rear of 638 E. 38th St. June 15, with the intention of robbing him. In addition to rags, they found $5.00 on him which they took. Apparently angered at this small amount of money, the robbers severely mailed Kaplin about the head. They then escaped.

Alleged violation of traffic regulations on the part of Harry Gottlieb white, 1644 S. St. Louis Ave., a Yellow Cab chauffeur, resulted in the death of Frank Williams, 2306 Wabash Ave. Wednesday night.
Williams was alighting from a State St. car at 21st and State Sts., and it is alleged that the cab driver did not stop his machine behind the car as it stopped. After hitting Williams, the cab driver took Williams to the County Hospital, where he died.

previous to the last week. Consequently the management has arranged every detail in such a manner that the a fear, square and impatient ideal will be assigned in the list.
There promises to be a fierce battle for the honor of winning the $1,760.00 Dixie Flyer touring car and the biggest prizes ever offered for the winner.
Prizes Worth Every Effort
In this spectacular campaign, the prizes are surely worthy of the effort—in fact the first prize represents more than the average salary and the best seat—that the average family save in a lifetime. In other words, the big, brand new Dixie Flyer represents the best seat in the winner.
10 O'Clock Sharp Last Minute
The locked ballot box will be turned over to the judges immediately after 10 o'clock and the results will be rapidly as possible and the results will be announced by a bulletin and officially published in the issue.
Fair Square
The method under which the contest is being closed is absolutely fair and square to everyone, for even the management itself knows how to animate the has turned in until the campaign is over.
The management wishes to thank the contestants one and all for their assistance in making this campaign the phenomenal success which it has been. Our only regret is that the team was not able to have five dozen automobiles to be distributed among the earnest workers who have been the means of giving the Whip and enormous support to far far the largest of our papers in Chicago.
H. H. PROCTOR COMING
Mme. Garnes and H. Emanuel Will Appear
The Chicago public will be interested in the coming of the Rev. Dr. Henry Hugh Proctor to the city this week to appear at the Lincoln Memorial Congregational Church, Champlain Avenue at E. 65th Street, next Sunday, June 26, and at the Pilgrim Baptist Temple, 33rd Street and Indiana Avenue, Monday Evening, June 27. Dr. Proctor is one of the best known clergymen in the United States and a platform orator of the first magnitude. His masterful address on "The Black Man's Burden" brought him into national notice and his twenty-five years of constructive service in Atlanta brought him to the fore front as one of the greatest leaders the Negro race has produced. At the call of General Pershing, Dr. Proctor made his second visit to Europe in 1918 to speak to 100,000 soldiers in the various camps and upon his return was called to Brooklyn to lead the movement to build a million dollar church community center for our people in Greater New York. Dr. Proctor is a graduate of Fisk and Yale Universities and has made friends in Chicago who will want to hear him at Lincoln Memorial Congregational Church next Sunday, morning and evening, and also at the Pilgrim Baptist Temple next Monday evening.
Mrs. Antionette Garnes, our matchless prima donna dramatic soprano, and Mr. Harrison Emanuel, our inimitable violinist, will furnish a grand musical program in connection with Dr. Proctor's address at the Pilgrim Baptist Temple, Monday evening, June 27, and it is expected that the great auditorium will overflow with music lovers and friends of H. H. Proctor, Antoinette Garnes and Harrison Emanuel. This promises to be the most classic event in Chicago's history and every Negro in the city should hear Dr. Proctor on "The Black Man's Burden."

HOW TO GET THE MOST VOTES
Wide awake contestants will see the advantage of getting the BIG subscriptions this week,the close of The Whip's contest.
Every 10-year subscription has a vote value of 600,-000 votes—a 5-year subscription is worth 260,000 votes. On top of this, you still get 100,000 EXTRA votes, in addition to the regular votes, for every $25 in subscriptions turned in.
Estimate your competitor's strength—but be careful not to UNDERESTIMATE. It's better to win by a million votes too many than to lack just a few thousand votes of having enough to land this big $1,700.00 Dixie Flyer touring car. If you expect to win, you'll have to get busy and KEEP BUSY up until 10 o'clock this Saturday night, the last minute of the contest.

WHIP'S $3,500 CONTEST ENDS SATURDAY NIGHT AT 10 O'CLOCK SHARP
Alderman R. R. Jackson Dr. Geo. C. Hall Rev. L. K. Williams
ALL votes and subscriptions must be in the sealed ballot box when the race is declared closed at 10 o'clock sharp, Saturday night, June 25th. Letters may be mailed to The Whip office bearing subscriptions and marked "for sealed ballot box" which will insure them not being opened. Particular care should be taken to mail such letters in good time to reach this office before the final hour and it is advisable that all such letters be sent under a special delivery stamp.
All subscriptions deposited in the ballot box must be accompanied by cash, money order or certified check for the full amount to cover. Personal checks up to $10.00 are acceptable providing no two checks are signed by the same party. This ruling is made in fairness to all candidates and will be strictly enforced.
Today's vote standings are the last that will be published until the judges make known the result of the final count. As explained before, to insure the strictest secrecy, all subscriptions will be deposited by the candidates in the locked and sealed ballot box which is now in The Lincoln State Bank, corner of 31st and State Streets. Under this arrangement no one, not even the Campaign Manager or the publishers can possibly know the voting strength of the respective candidates.
When the final hour (10 o'clock Saturday Night, June 25th) arrives, the campaign will be declared closed. The judges will then open the box and immediately thereafter, or as soon as votes can be issued on subscriptions contained therein, the last count will begin. The winners will be determined by merely adding to the last published vote totals, which appear today, to the reserve votes and those contained in the ballot box. There will be no waiting, no complicated count, but simply a matter of adding the vote totals and announcing the winners.
It is calculated that it will require some time, however, to canvass the findings in the ballot box and to determine the winner of the $1,700.00 Dixie Flyer and the other big prizes. The official results will be published in our next issue and announced by bulletin when the final count has been completed.

Yes you can. Consult a lawyer and be sure to find out whether or not she left a will as to her personal effects and other property.
Dear Madame:
I want to get a divorce from my husband who left me eight years ago, but I have heard twice that he was dead. How can I find out for sure?
A. W. L.
Have your informants tell you where he was supposed to be when he died and then write to the recorder of births and deaths of that city. If you do not find out the safest thing would be to secure the divorce. It may save you much suffering and trouble in the future.
Dear Madame:
My husband has sued me for divorce on the ground of cruelty because I left him and wouldn't live with him any more as man and wife. Can he do so?
G. B.
Hardly—without more facts I could not give you an intelligent answer.

A Popular California Entrant in The Whip's Auto Contest
Mrs. J. B. Milton San Francisco, Cal.
The First Regiment Uniform Rank, K. of P., rented the second floor at the N. W. corner of 35th and Calumet Avenue for lodge room purposes. An injunction having been placed on the premises some six months ago, Attorney General Brundage's office opposed the lifting of the injunction and charged that the organization was renting the place for a cabaret.
"Fighting Bob" went to the defense of the organization of which he is the military head and defended the case before Judge Landis.
Judge Landis heard the case Saturday morning, lifted the injunction on the premises and "Fighting Bob" was given the lease. Judge Landis believes in a square deal and his decision in this case is worthy of comment.

Mrs. Mary Jones, daughter of Mrs. Boggag, died June 9th, after a long illness. She was buried at Lincoln Cemetery. Her father lived from Ohio a few years ago, and her father died from the death of her mother. Her father was a young Miss who until recently lived at Robbins, died suddenly in Chicago Sunday evening. Some people are off the street. The man can chew. This seems to be the fix the ones who swore out the warrants against the special police, had themselves in. Why don't you appear and fast the muster? Or do you appear? So, but with a better procrastination is the thief of time. Our president is a procrastinator. You are president of the village, and as such you can add on the short-term of the books, books in the order of the books you are not going out of his office. Now the question to be answered is—where is the clerk's office? And what is the place? It's a very long-term of the work?
And what is the president to be a virtue and as long as the president stands for it he will be toyed with. Assert your authority and show your enemies you know and you will like to know is by what authority we would be the confiscated goods disposed? It seems as though some of us were in good order to be the public auction could such things be done. Robbins as well as other places has people who have no regard whatever for the law. What out of which has been done? But he was not to turn. Mrs. Robert Funches stabbed her mother, Mrs. Besta Prince, at the residence of Mrs. Mack Slaughter, Saturday noon. The paper of the paper was in the office of the school. A wound to the depth of four inches was inflicted in the forearm. A warrant was sent out for her arrest and she was carried to Blue Island by police officer John Steele. He is still giving the work she was released to return Saturday, June 25th.

DR. ROBINSON, INVENTOR MAKES STATEMENT
Please take notice that I desire to make a statement through your paper, or papers to the Public. You may have been misled in the past about the tatus of the case which was No. 24, 896, and No. 27, 178, in the United States Courts, Circuit and Appeal. The patent No. 594, 286 issued November 23, A. D. 1897, corrected on the 30th day of said Month A. D., 1897. The Circuit Court found the patent to be valid on the 25th day of May, A. D. 1900, the Court of Appeals affirmed the same on the 7th day of November, A. D., 1902. This shows the Public that the patent and all it will make belongs to the patentee. (All the Railroad Companies both team and Electric, use the said patent to make every thing that they can on the record No. 810 shows the Court to believe that the patent is given to the patentee by the Circuit Court of Appeals on the 2nd day of January, A. D. 1900, the same neggrating ($13,000,000) to the Court of Appeals ($44,000,000) forty three millions of dollars.
Since that time the patentee had to borrow money to fight his Lawsuit out, some cause or other, Mrs. Sarah Duggan sought the Court to make a loan of about forty or sixty dollars, and the note in not to be paid until the Suit ended by defendant paying it off, the Court said. The patentee could not realize enough money out of the Suit to pay the notes off, that the patentee would borrow money on the patent, and that the defendant should not allow the Patentee has failed to find one note yet, because the defendants failed to let the suits come to an end, by starting suits by motion, and mixing them with the original documents, and the United States Courts should not allow it to be so and the News Papers should inform to Publish the facts, because the Patentee has failed to pay the Courts, and no note has fallen due which the Patentee made or caused to be made has ever fallen due, this is the facts. Mr. Editors be fair with every one of your
citizens tell the matter as it is, please put this in just as I have said it one thousand times for the Railroad Companies, or corporations, that can find a note or contract that has been due, there was one or two notes that were fraternally made they are not to be made public, and I will not well hotel on the corner of Church and Cherry street, for years, and my name was as good as any ordinary man's in the United States, and I will not replicate or replicate by finding out that men changed the records in the patent office and changed records in Courts, and changed records in the public, and easily be shown, I do not owe one person in the world as I know of one hundred dollars in the United States to the Public, that it may protect the citizen and not as a thief as your paper has said.

A man in a suit is bending forward, peering into a door.
NOSEY was waiting for a car on the corner of 40th and Indiana Avenue last Saturday night and his keen wars heard voices coming from the nearby apartment house. His watchful eyes also took in the string of autos parked in front. Then he remembered that the party that was scheduled was really coming off. As he listened beneath the window he heard the argument of a "pint" that had been brought to the party but which seemed to have disappeared. One doctor said that he had not got a taste and the other declared that he had received none either although he brought it in his hip pocket to the party. One accused the other until a lady appeared and the argument ceased. But from the noise that was made about it no one passing on the sidewalk would have thought it was 1 a.m. Sunday morning. Think what would have happened if we had "Blue Laws" and Nosey was an officer!
Of all the people that deserve criticism it is that class of individuals who bite the hand that feeds them. Nosey was attracted by the screams of a woman. He rushed to the scene of warfare and found a gentleman with his teeth sately and securely imbedded in the fat hand of a fat lady who held a well fried half chicken in her other hand. Nosey paused for a minute and the gentleman with the iron teeth relaxed his vicious grip. It all happened because the lady forcibly took the chicken away from the hungry unemployed "husband," as he claimed. She claimed that she was going to omit feeding him until he produced the chicken she have to wear. The lady gave him orders to appear at home unless he wanted to eat some lead, as she was tired bringing home chicken. Now the man will have to go down to the lake front "cave dwellers" or find some other sympathetic "sweet woman." Don't bite the hand that's feeding you!"
SOMETIMES ONE THINKS the world has gone mad when he views the follies of some of the pleasure mad folks. Nosey was standing idly on the corner of Wabash and 43rd Street Sunday afternoon watching the gas wagons go by. One load came by with three couples, all of whom were not able to sit up straight, and left behind them a stream of slippers, hair ribbons, hats and other articles of apparel which made Nosey wonder how they would look when they arrived at their destination. Nosey was rewarded in his desire to see them at the close of their Paul Revere or Johnny Walker ride. It was at the police station just as it should have been. They gave false names, but Nosey jotted down the correct ones in his little "Black Book." Some day society will be shocked to learn of the early escapes of some of the best society folks.
EVERY NIGHT after midnight there seems to be a general congregation around certain bright spots so that one trying to pass on the sidewalk has to run through a gauntlet of coattail, leering men, whom are now known as sidewalk cooties. They seem to have nothing to do but wait for those who are coming from or going in nearby places of business. Nosey saw the expected happen the other night. One gentleman did ask them to misplace a proceeded to them in a sidewalk a in Dempsey. The great part of it all was that he took his lady into the bright place and then returned in a few minutes. The congregation had departed and he walked on in peace.
YOU NEVER CAN tell what "Tillie" can do until you take her out to dine. A beloved dentist who has been very free with his free meals has finally come to grief. He took Tillie out to supper and she ordered and she ordered and she ordered. The eyes of the doctor got bigger and it may be that Tillie got bigger, because she still ordered and ate. The doctor stealthily put his hand in his pocket and counted his change and the bills in all of his pockets. When Tillie got through she tried to pick up the little dog she had with her but decided to let the doctor do it. Then the good spender saw where all of his money had gone. Tillie had worked cleverly and little Fifi had gained several pounds. The doctor now bars ladies with dogs when he invites them to sup.

EXCUSE US. PLEASE
In the previous issue of the WHITP under "Accidents," it was erroneously stated that Miss Lillian Wilson, 4834 Langley Ave, who was injured by an automobile at 32nd St, and Michigan Ave., was in company with Eliot Scott, 3136 Indiana Ave, Miss Wilson and Scott were both injured by the same automobile, but the two were not together.

Crack Sweetheart's Dome
Miss Fannie Smith, 23, 2956 State St., in a quarrel with her sweetheart, Sam Owens, 2436 State St., was bit over the left eye by Sam on June 16 causing a deep cut.
Webster School Was Meant
Complaint of the immoral conduct of some of the boys and girls frequenting the play ground of the Webster School at 33rd and Wentworth Avenue has been very frequent and bitter for the past year and after letters from parents, citizens and the principal, the matter was investigated by the Juvenile Court officers, resulting in the arrest of several boys under sixteen years of age and three or four girls most of them pupils at Webster School. After a hearing before Assistant Judge Mary Bartlemae of the Juvenile Court one of the girls was sent away for discipline. The cases of the boys were continued to July 12th by Judge Arnold. Through an inadvertence the Keith School was mentioned in last week's issue of the Whip in connection with the reprehensible conduct of these boys and girls, but Webster School was meant and in justice to Miss McDonald the principal of Keith School we would say that she was not connected with the matter in any way.
Dr. Brown to Make Home Here
Dr. and Mrs. Harry Hewitt Brown
are in Chicago for an indefinite stay
the doctor having decided to

they are stopping at 3553, Grand
Boulevard
In City
Mrs. James A. Truitt of Harris burgh, Ill., is in the city, the guest of her daughter, Mrs. Charlotte Vaughn 4718 Champlain Ave.
I know you know that young man who asys that he has "flat feet?" Oh you must know HIM, because he always is seen in the vicinity of some flat. That's why he has "flat feet." Every flat in town knows his feet. You certainly must know that gentleman who suddenly left town about a month ago, leaving no "change of address" for his friends or the postman? Well, tell him if you know, where he is to stay away because all those collectors that he expected to call have called and some of them brought the law along with them and others took furniture and clothing away with them. You can't play that "credit game" too strong you know.
I know you know that slim trim young man who has a "perfect passion" for red sox and married ladies? You must know him if you are married because he uses the telephone a lot and appears at all of the dances. Well, he lost some of his "perfect passion" for the married ladies last Saturday when a sturdy husband gave him a new start in life. He is wearing blue sox now and his "perfect passion" is not quite so perfect.
I know that you know that gentleman with the blue automobile? You must know him because his car often "shimmies" down the street like a man with blind staggers. Well, he will be a little more careful in the future as it "shimmied" into a beer truck on Wabash Ash. the other night. The car is in the repair shop nqw.
I know you know that little lady who tries to act so "cute" at all the "society" dances? You truly ought to know her because she asks all the gentlemen to be sure and dance with her. Well, one man had the courage to tell her he did not want to dance with her and when she asked him why, he told her. You know why, too.
I know you know that stout gentleman who fell on Grand Blvd, and 39th and cut his hip severely. You must know him and you also must know that the glass was in his pocket and not on the sidewalk. Better carry it in the metallic flasks if you are not sure of your steps.
I know you must know that young lady who left for the east rather suddenly? You must know her because you certainly heard many people say that they were going to write and tell her husband that it was about time he sent for her. The husband did better loan that—he came for her.
Miss Ruth Crowe
Charming lady lady has stamped over 3,224. Meal tickets with the signature of W. M. A.

Composer, Musician, Critic
The Grand
Frant Montgomery and his "Hello 1921" Company open the house on Sunday night, June 26th. Montgomery and Florence McClain head the aggregation with a list of real capable stars and beauty chorus of 35 people. Mr. Montgomery, I predict, will present the best show seen in Chicago this season as he has the theory of show business under his hat and it isn't a guesswork proposition. Blonde Robinson, Chinese Walker, Avon Robinson and the lady musician leader, Marie Liveas, are able assets.
The Avenue Theatre
Harvey's Minstrel show opened to a good house on Monday, June 20th. Owing to the real hot weather they put over a fair show, but the best part was the vaudeville portion. The Minstrel first part offered some good singing and dancing. Whitney Viney made a good middle-man and sang a Dunbar poem set to music. Frank Kirk, the musical tramp, was a real treat in the oio; and Chick Beaman stopped the proceedings with his clever talking speciality. Alonzo Moore was perfection in the magic art and kept the crowd laughing. The orchestra is good and play very soft in accompaniment.
The Monogram
Willie Too Sweet and his company are playing to packed houses this week and it looks like a sell out every night. Willie is popular and puts over the goods.

The Lincoln Gardens
Wm. George is all smiles as it looks like his venture, "The Lincoln Gardens" is to be a success. Bill is well liked and should do good. He has always the glad hand and ready smile to offer you and he has also managerial ability. The Jerry Mills Rome is a good pick and is packing the place nightly. Bonny & Freeman and Lizzie Wallace are the feature attractions in the Rome.
"THE FAITHHEALER"
At the Vendome Theatre, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, June 23, 24, 25. A tale of a child-hearted son of the hills, come into a workaday world to heal with his faith, men's bodies and souls. A tale of another man—born of the city's revel and jazz—who scouted by the healer's works. A tale of a beautiful wayward woman, whom both men came to love and fought with each other to win. Behind these three, a vast flitting background of life; now framed in all the grandeur of earth's vast silent places; now all laughter and pleasure and folly; now the woe of a world's human wreckage; now the leaping joy of a new found happiness. Also "A Day With Jack Dempsey." See the world's champion in training. See him box, run, jump, play and prepare for the greatest fight of the century.
"JUNGLE PRINCESS"
At the States Theatre, Sunday, June 26, featuring Juanita Hansen. A story of exploits, sensations and daring deeds —written around the mysteries of the jungle.
Juanita Hansen will hold you spell-bound at her daring exploits and escapades.

Musician's Notes
Musicans, watch the columns for some sensational disclosures in the near future with malice toward none. * * * It is rumored that Clarence Jones and his orchestra will begin an engagement at the Merry Garden * * * May Brady's Orchestra No. 2 at Friedberg on 22nd St. is making good and popular with the dancing fans * * * John Wickliffe and his Ginger Band are making a record at the Lincoln Garden; with a little longer playing together it will rival his old aggregation. * * * Raymond Whitsett, the cornetist, has returned from a visit to his mother who has been on the sick list. * * * Art Stewart, the Vice President of Musicians' Local 208, is the capable bandmaster of the Elks Band and a good little leader of men, he has fighting out and won't be beat without a fight. * * * Geo. Smith's orchestra has closed its engagement at the Avenue Theatre on account of the house closing for the hot spell. * * The writer, Geo. Smith and Erk-sine Tate, all orchestra leaders, were given the pink arrest slips this week for speeding and parking. Mr. Smith thought he owned the front of Marshall Fields and let his flivver stand there over the time limit, and Mr. Tate, he thought he was directing a presto movement in his great orchestra and was caught going forty miles an hour; and myself, well, I am used to 'em; I get 'em every day.

PARADISE GARDENS A REAL FAIRYLAND
Those who believe that the limit in beautiful decorations and elaborate appointments has been reached need only to visit the new Paradise Gardens at 55th St., and Prairie Ave.
Joe Gorman, the well-known proprietor of this, the newest of places of amusement, has spared no money or paints to make it as beautiful as the imagination can demand. The entire building has been renewed, a raised platform has been constructed for the dancers, and a miniature stage has been erected for the orchestra. The wall decorations and the lighting effects exceed the beauty of anything seen in this section yet.
The grand opening was held Monday night. A packed house was on hand, and music was furnished by Wickliffe's Band. The entertainers booked for the new place are: Toussaint Duers, Belle Lee, Bobbie Jenkins and Justine McKenny.
"FRUIT OF PASSION"

"THE WATER LILY"
"THE WATER LILY"
At the States Theatre, Friday, June 24. A picturization from the famous stage success. When a woman ceases to be innocent she ceases to be interesting to the blase man of the world, and to him innocente is a highly desired game—even in the trackless forests the betrayer cannot hide his sin and when the day of payment comes, nature's deepest wilderness gives up the human wolf.
SESSUE HAYAKAWA
At the Vendome Theatre, Sunday, June 26, in "The First Born." All the lure of the land of the poppy. Fascinating in its dramatical intensity and telling a story of love, devotion and revenge. From the slave market of the Hoang-Ho to San Francisco's Chinatown, the story weaves its picturesque way. The greatest Chinese drama ever produced.

STAGE MONSTER BASEBALL BILL FOR SUNDAY
Sunday, June 26, American Giants fans will be served with a rare treat at Schorlin park. Upon that date, the South Side Stars, Chicago Giants, Joliet and a Bloomer-girl baseball team will cavort on the diamond, and the whole big show will be run on one afternoon, starting promptly at two o'clock.
The Bloomer-girl aggregation of ball tossers have developed the national game to a point where their pro wrestlers many of the semi-pro teams around these diggins; in fact they have established such a hold upon the Chicago and surrounding baseball public that for many weeks an uneasing demand has been offered the management of Schorlin park that they be seen in action on the South Side.
The Joliet club of the Chicago league comes here Sunday, and they are said to have a team that compares most favorably with the strong collection that waged such a fierce contest against the Foster crowd list season and others.
The double bill should prove a worthy innovation for the American Giants fans, as the South Side Stars, as well as the Chicago Giants are pulling a most dazzling grade of pastiming these days, so the fans can assure themselves of one fact, that is from the tap of the gong that starts the first game at two o'clock, on through to the finish, there will be thrill after thrill for each inning played.
STARS' HOME RUN TOPPLE HOOSIERS
DETROIT, MICH. June 18—Slugging tactics by the Detroit Stars overcame the bunting methods of the Indianapolis A. B. C's at Mack park Saturday afternoon and the booster club was healed, 5 to 4. Three of the booster club made by the Indian men came from squeeze plays. Home runs, two by Wesley and one by Perry, played the leading role in the overthrow of the guests. Each man registered one in the second and the third, two runners on the towpath won the game.

MUST BUY TICKET ON SPECIAL IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE BIG FIGHT
One point brought out in a conversation with Packy McFarland last week was that any Chicagoans who intend to see the big fight in Jersey City July 2 must buy a ticket with a party, as only party managers are distributing them.
Many to Go
Already several reservations have been made on the McFarland & Jones Special, and those who are contemplating seeing the big mill should not waste time, as word comes from the East that the only tickets available anywhere in the country are now in Chicago.
Time May Be Extended
It has just been learned that those who wish to remain in New York after the fight may do go by making special arrangements. The special will leave Union Station June 30, at 4 p. m., arriving in Jersey City July 1st at 8 p. m. The train will be parked at the entrance to the arena, and those on the special may occupy their car the entire time there.
The special returning will leave Pennsylvania Station, New York, July 2nd, at 12:30 p. m., arriving in Chicago midnight July 3rd, giving those who wish an opportunity to spend July 4 at home.
For detailed information call Packy McFarland, Douglas 5799, or see him at 3541 State St.

JIM BROWN
Along about the seventh inning when the Giants are trailing behind, the Schorling park fans are accustomed to seeing Brown stroll up to bat in the person of a pinch hitter. Jim is full of fight and pep and has delivered the decisive punch nine times out of ten when called upon.

TOM WILLIAMS
No question exists over Tom Williams' probable rating, should there be a voting contest as to who is the leading pitcher on the Western Circuit.
OWENS AND WILSON ARE REMATCHED
To Re-Enact the Great Battle of May 27 on July 4th.
George Owens, New Orleans giant and latest rising historic light of pugilism and George Wilson, sparring mate of Capt. Bob Roper, soldier fighter, have been re-matched.
It will be remembered that these fellows met at Gary, Ind., on May 27, in a ten-round contest which proved a hundinger, with neither man showing any marked superiority over the other.
Fans who witnessed the contest were evenly divided as to the merits of the men. This resulting in a re-engagement.
Wilson is already in tip top form due to his continuous work with high class scrappers, will only need to remain at that standard to be ready when the gong clams.
Owens, weighing over 200 pounds, also, is in fair shape.
Johnny Tholmer, a heavyweight boxer of note ten years ago has been getting him in shape and declares his charge will give a good account of himself.
Kid Zeno and Battling Johnson, 148 pounders, will box eight rounds in the semi-windup. Harold Sampson, a sturdy lad from Indiana Harbor and Miller, will go six rounds.
A curtain raiser of four rounds by two skilled youngsters will complete the card.
The promoters have arranged for ladies as well to witness the contests and hundreds are preparing to take advantage of the treat.
The show will be staged at 8:30 p.m. either in the auditorium, seating over three thousand or Gary theatre, where seventeen hundred and fifty may be seated.

KANSAS CITY MONARCHS TROUNCED BY ST LOUIS

TOLEDO, OHIO, June 19.—The fast and flashy Chicago Browns journeyed over to Toledo last week and returned with the scalps of the 400 A.C. dangling from their belts. Three games were played upon the American Association grounds, and the Browns grabbed all of them, trouncing the four-hundreds in a double bill on Sunday and walking off with the victory on Monday. King and Huff featured the contest with fast playing and timely hitting. Incidentally, the Browns broke the winning streak of fourteen games annexed by the local team. The scores:

BACHARACHS AND PARKESBURG IN 13 INNING TIE
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., June 17—Parkesburg Iron Company and the Bacharach Giants battled to a thirteen-inning tie yesterday afternoon at the Inlet Park. Upon the conclusion of the thirteenth round, the Courier Jameson halted hostilities with the count reading, 2-2.
It was a hard fought and interesting battle throughout and those who braved the challenge when images enjoyed the contests were plenty of long and hard hitting and spectacular fielding play.

one of the best games of his career, Holland set back the Indianapolis A. B. C. Sunday at Mack Park, allowing the visitors six central hits and a single tally while the locals compiled Jeffrey H. Hollins hits accounting for a total of eight runs. Only two Hoosier players reached second base. B. Taylor's homer, that looked seevy, was the only run field fence, was the only run scored by the Hoosiers. Holland was given wonderful support by his infielders. Duffries in the first inning for three hits and as many runs. Again in the sixth, a base on balls. J. Hills double and Perry's single added a couple of more runs. Eighth frame, Eileen walked, fritiled, fritiled, fritiled, knocked out a homer over the centerfield fence giving the locals another trio of counters.
SOX NOTES
All is joy on the Soth Side.
The Chicago White Sox return from the East having won 8 out of 15 games a very good record for any ball clubs on foreign soil. Kid Gleason certainly has proven he is a miracle man. Had he a pitching staff or could buy a pitcher, certainly would make the race in the American League a bear. Mr. Comiskey would buy a pitcher if his fellow magnates would sell him. But as traders they do not do much trading. Any of them will give you a scuttle of ashes for a scuttle of hard coal in a pitcher with whisky players, but money is as useless in the big show as an empty whisky bottle in an all night cabaret. Eddie Collins, who is a ball player of the first flight, being without a peer in his position, is out with a finger that was hurt, but not as bad as was first thought.
Ray Schalk.—I think they broke the mold when he was moulded. Is playing the game as only he can play it. He is a wonderful help to a manager, a life preserver to a young pitcher, knows and plays to the weakness of all ball players in his league.
Eddie Mackerel.—Trainer of the New York Giants for 19 years, spent a pleasant week in our city.
Eddie Laface.—Trainer of the Pittsburgh National Baseball Club, is also in his 19th year, his team is leading in the race. His ball club has led in the race since the season started.
Pittsburgh ..... 661
New York ..... 610
McClellan.—A youngster who is playing in the peerless Eddie's place. Has played a whale of a game. This will do more towards making his finger better than all the trainers or doctors on earth.
Urbin Faber.—Has won his 14th game. Some pitching
Wee Dick Kerr.—Has the hot weather. He is a hot weather pitcher and will go like a house afire from now on until the final curtain is drawn. A Hugh Fullerton Guess. — New York in the National League, and I like New York in the American. Could Huggins get his pitching, he certainly has a wonderful pitching staff, but don't get the pitching he should.

GREEN'S GANG BLOWS UP IN 10TH INNING
Pitcher Ball's Performance Is Tossed Into the Discard When Wary Mates Fumble Victory Away.
CHJCAGO, June 20.—The clear, smooth sailing that the Foster baseball ship has enjoyed while sailing through the passive currents of the Western Circuit to twelve straight wins in the baseball league, near came to a sudden stop when the veteran Watter Ball worked up a mighty squall around the pitcher's slab and had the Foster boat tossing to and fro for ten frames at the mercy of the ill-blowing breezes. The South-Side champs could do nothing of note with the slants of the Vets, but managed to get one counter over the pan in the fourth after two light singles, a base on balls and an error had aided the cause.
The Green gang came through in the sixth with four safe blows, and rang up a pair of markers, putting them ahead on the work of the day. and in the next cantor, bettered their position by annexing two more safeties, one a double, which turned in one more count.
Along about the ninth, Green's boys displayed signs of weariness, and a flock of Foster pinch hitters rushed for bats; when the inning ended, the score was tied. Tom Williams replaced Starks on the slab, and all the latter did in his one inning of work, was to strike out the three men who faced him. Jim Brown, then Jack Marshall and Poindexter Williams were forced into the fray; Ball was still heaving effectively, but his mates were uneasy under the heavy strain. In the tenth inning of the Fosters' time at bat, and with two men disposed of, an easy roller advanced in the direction of second baseman Bauchman, and the game was over, 4-3. The score:

What is the Charm?
What is the Charm?
When the subject of leaving America and embarking to foreign shores is broached to the average American black man, he snarls his features and brusquely blurs out, "I have not lost anything in Africa or Brazil." His answer is strictly true, but notwithstanding, he has a splendid opportunity of finding something somewhere beyond the American confines.
If the desire for remaining in this country is created and established because of the just and earned right, we would not disagree. The black man has earned a lawful heritage to America. He is entitled to all of the benefits which accrue to its citizens. Nevertheless the average black man does not remain in this country because of the equitable interest acquired. He blindly and without reason feels that he would not enjoy the customs of a foreign land, and he, without thought of constitutional entitlements, arbitrarily and dogmatically decides that he does not want to go anywhere. He has been lured into contentment by the charm of America.
What are the charms of America? Surely not the lyncher's rope, not the funeral pyre of living black men, not the rape and defilement of women and children, not the voice and chains of slavery, not insults and segregation, not the massacre of their dark-skinned brothers, not the Congressional Halls in which their voice is never heard. No, not those! Then what is the magical and enchanting charm of America which roots the souls of black folks in its bloody soil? It must be the free and easy life which is enjoyed by those who do not think.
To him who has never known of liberty and freedom, there is no appreciation for their wonderful virtues. A man who has never sailed through the trackless ether, buoyed up by modern airships, can know little of the exhilarating influence of clean, pure, rarified air. The black man knows very little of the clean, pure air of real manhood. He eats, sleeps, dances and sings. He indulges in the baser pleasures of carnal life, which loose laws tolerate. He knows of liquor and lust. He worships the false gods of song and dance, while the fundamental virtues of life lay dormant and slumbering in his breast. Probably this explains the charm America has for him.
The Pilgrim Fathers were not allowed religious freedom in England and a handful of them braved the elements of Nature and crossed the fretful Atlantic Ocean, setting up the United States. History tells the tale of the Indian's tomahawk and multitudinous privations that were suffered by the Pilgrims. The tale of the Irish, the Armenians and the Russian peasants is not lost in memory's twisted trail. They all suffered and bled for liberty and freedom and no satisfaction and contentment were found until they had left their native shores in search for them.
Why should the black man bask in America and lift no oar or spread no wing in search of these salient and indispensable requisites? Who knows that there is not a fairer clime and freer air in Africa and Brazil? This we do know—America crushes and cows and the manhood of black men is stamped beneath the impetuous foot of Caucasian tyranny.
To find peace and happiness, tranquility and liberty. What rivets us to State Street, to Harlem, to Beale Street, to Auburn Avenue, and to Wiley Avenue? What holds us to Market Street, to Druid Hill, to South Street? What is the mystical charm of America?
Shackles, Fetters and Prize Fights.
With starvation staring us in the face, while countless thousands of us are without employment, when the net of discrimination and injustice is being drawn tighter and tighter, we are heard all over America asking who will win the great prize fight, Dempsey or Carpentier.
A simple minded child will play with its toys while its parents lay at death's door. The brain of the child cannot appreciate the seriousness of the situation. It has not reached the soberness which comes with maturity. It has been said that the black people are a child race and that they do not concern themselves with the vital issues of the day. In age they are fully matured and they can truthfully boast of being the founders of civilization but they are in dire need of a mental and moral awakening which will throw off their present sloth and foolishness.
The manly art of self-defense is one thing and lynching, starvation and misery is another. The black people in America will gain nothing from the Dempsey-Carpentier prize fight. None of the shackles of the South will be broken by the outcome, neither will any of the fetters of the North be loosened. While the Republican party under President Harding refuses us recognition we ask who will win the prize fight. If some of the interest which is manifested in this physical encounter between two white men could be converted into the fight for Freedom and Liberty of the Black race, our claims would be at least a bit more respected.

lowing to say concerning the physician and the community. "The physician has a duty to those who call him. As a citizen he has a community obligation, and, through organization and opportunity to serve second only to that of the national government. But he must first identify himself with the interests of his community, living with his people rather than on them, that he may know their minds and sense their necessities." He further states "community health physical and mental, is the foundation stone of a nation. Etiology (cause), and prophylaxis, (prevention), should therefore engage medicines' first thought."
In a certain section of the City of Chicago a group of our Race women have organized under the name of "Neighborhood Association" for the betterment of their neighborhood. They take pride in keeping the surroundings and environment clean. The allies in this community, are kept free from garbage, tin cans, paper and various wast products—the lawns are kept mown and flowers are encouraged to be planted—Houses are encouraged to be screened and the fly is regarded as a public menace and everyone in this association is taught to swat the fly. Streets are encouraged to be sprinkled or oiled and in so doing the disease is eliminated that is spread by the dist. This association, like many others, throughout the city, is doing a commendable work. The idea of organization should be encouraged. I wish to commend these associations not only on the health side of the community, but also on the other steps they are taking for the betterment of their neighborhood.

Tulsa Relief Fund Grows.
The Tulsa Relief Fund Committee was very active at the baseball park Sunday. Mrs. Randolph Lawrence, Mrs. Geraldine Dismond, Mrs. Lillian Powell and Miss Aurelia Ward went through the big crowd of fans and collected $90.58. A larger amount was collected at a mass meeting held at Wendell Phillips High School on Tuesday evening.
Other organizations that deserve special consideration, especially at this time of the year are "Infant Welfare Stations" who are disseminating the truth to the nursing mother about the proper care and feeding of the infant. No writer could write on community health without touching on the health of the infant for the more healthy infants there are in the community, not only does this particular community become stronger but the future nation will be stronger. Nursing mothers should remember that during the hot summer months not to overclothe the babies. A well baby clothed in a shirt and diaper will remain well and happy during the hottest summer
only does this particular community become stronger but the future nation will be stronger. Nursing mothers should remember that during the hot summer months not to overclothe the babies. A well baby clothed in a shirt and diaper will remain well and happy during the hottest summer weather. Over-clothe this child, let him suffer from retained heat, and he will react with severe diarrhea and collapse. It is such truths as these that the "Infant Welfare Worker" is spreading to the mother that makes their work invaluable to the community.
UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP
Constructive Criticism of Men and Measures, In the Hope of Correcting Errors and Evils.
The Irish people in America are all flushed because of Rear Admiral's Sim's speech in England. Admiral Sims merely criticized the actions of the Sinn Feiners and some of the United States Senators for taking so much interest in Irish affairs. Suppose there was an Irish Republic and war was declared by that Republic with this country. Would the Irish people in America be pro-Irish or pro-American? In case of a draft act we are inclined to think that Uncle Samuel would have more trouble than he had with the pro-Germans. This country wants one hundred per cent Americans and if some of the European sentiment of the newcomers was scoffed at many good Americans would be created.
In New York's high society a free milk fund is being built up for the sufferers in Italy. If society would come down off of its supercilious perch it would find much suffering in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.
From the white ministry in Tulsa, Oklahoma, comes a condemnation of the black people. They charge the black people with responsibility for the recent calamity which occurred there. The hearts of these professed Christians must be calloused and their sense of justice entirely dead to fix the blame upon those who were defenseless and utterly powerless to withstand the terrible onslaughts of the white brutes. The white man's Christianity is like a Chinese puzzle—no one can unravel it. Not even he himself.
At last the newspapers of the black people are beginning to realize the "Hoax of Harding." They realize also that the Republican party is not in love with them. Too bad that the Chicago Whip was the only paper of its kind which foresaw and predicted just this thing. When the others were dealing with the fanciful utterances of the new President the editor wrote of the "Hoax of Harding" and told his readers to beware the "Ides of March." We generally wake up when it is too late and the bridegroom has departed.
While human bodies are burning and the smoke from the smoldering embers of black people's homes clouds this country, Congressman Johnson of Mississippi introduces a bill into the House to make it unlawful for women to smoke in public places in the District of Columbia. The soul of this southerner is not concerned with the smoke from lynched men nor the sickening sight of demolished property. We wonder what Rear Admiral Sims thinks of this bird.
