E. St. Louis Pays $454,000 To Riot Victims JACK JOHNSON IN CHICAGO! SYNDICATE "RUNNER" IS KIDNAPPED PRICE 5 CENTS VOL. III. — NO. 29 JACK APPEARS BEFORE PUBLIC FIRST TIME THURSDAY Poses For Movis in "Heart Of Jack Johnson" Before Leaving Kansas City. After a hectic career in the prize ring, the gay capitals of Europe, the bulllight arenas of Spain and Mexico, and finally winding up behind the drab prison walls of the United States penitentiary at Leavenworth, Jack Johnson arrives in Chicago Thursday morning, still probably the greatest draw card in America today, not barring Babe Ruth himself. Although deported from Spain, asked to leave Mexico, and today a man without a country or citizenship status, Jack Johnson will probably attract more attention when he arrives in Chicago Thursday morning on the California Limited at 10 A. M., than any other private citizen has in the history of the city. Big Demonstrations Planned Two big demonstrations are being planned for Jack's first public appearance here. One is at the Dreamland Cafe, 3520 State Street, where Johnson is scheduled to appear at a matinee and reception Thursday afternoon, beginning at 3 P. M. The other is at the Eighth Regiment Armory, where he is scheduled to appear at A. H. A., under the auspices of Darby Kelly, white. Both Bottoms and Kelly insist that they are the only men authorized to present Jack to the public when he arrives Thursday. An elaborate program has been arranged at each place, and although the hours of appearance do not conflict, it is believed that there is a hitch somewhere. Three Days Making Movies Johnson was released early Saturday, and in company with his wife spent the day visiting friends in Kansas City. Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, he spent completing a contract with a moving picture concern, filming a picture to be released as: "The Heart of Jack Johnson" night in Kansas City Wednesday night on the Santa Fe "California Limited," he is expected to arrive in Chicago at 10 A.M. Thursday morning. He will immediately go to the home of his sister, 3642 Grand Blyd Has Interest in Dreamland William Bottoms, proprietor of the Dreamland Cafe, announced Monday night that Johnson would from now on be identified as having an interest in the Dreamland Cafe, and would make his permanent headquarters there. BOTTOMS MAKES STATEMENT After seeing advertisements to the effect that Johnson would appear at the Armory, I reached him over the long distance telephone, and he states that he knows nothing of arrangements for his appearance there, and that he positively will make his first appearance at Dreamland Cafe. I have arranged with a moving picture corporation to make pictures of the entire affair from the time Johnson leaves the train. The picture will be finished in Dreamland, where he he will be entertained by his many friends. There will be many valuable prizes given away which Mr. Johnson proimises to present himself to the patrons. As I am his personal representative here, I take the liberty to say that I know of the arrangements he has made, and they do not include any reception at the Armory. I have been authorized by Jack to announce that his first appearance will be at Dreamland. Wm. Bottoms. MAN SHOT, REFUSES TO TELL POLICE WHY Police are puzzled at the mysterious shooting of Lincoln Harley, 22, 4248 Wabash Ave. Harley was shot in front of 3027 State St., July 9, by Wilbert Wilde, alias "Paddles." Bullets struck him in the left chest and abdomen. When questioned by police concerning the affair, he refused to talk. Answers Call Of Wild, Cuts Off Man's Ear Once in a great while the "call of the wild" returns to civilized men. This may account for the head-hunting instinct that rose in the breast of Will Green Sunday. With an instrument closely resembling bolo Green attacked Robert Anderson, 38, a painter, living at 3557 Prairie Ave. The bolo missed Anderson's head, but Green's aim had enough of accuracy to catch Anderson's left ear. The ear was neatly and completely cut from the terrified man's head. In the mixup Anderson's left eye was also almost extinguished. Just as the police arrived Green's wild spirit subsided and he took to flight, making good his escape. TO DESTROY "BIRTH OF NATION" FILM IN CAL NEW YORK, July 16—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, has announced that through action taken by E. Burton Ceruti, legal advisor of the Los Angeles, California, Brauch, the showing of the Birth of a Nation film had been stopped in that city, and in the State of California, and that W. H. Clune owner of the film, had agreed to destroy it. The Los Angeles Times, of June 27, quotes City Prosecutor Widney of Los Angeles as saying: "The city received a formal protest from E. Burton Ceruti, and after making a thorough investigation I was able to satisfy myself that the associated pictures producers had assured the Negroes that 'The Clansman' would run no longer in California if the Negroes would stand with the film men on censorship." A letter to the New York office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, from Mr. Ceruti, says: "At a conference called by the Mayor and attended by executives of state moving picture organizations, the proprietor of the Garrick Theater and Mr. Clune, the owner of the films, it was agreed and Mr. Clune undertook and promised to withdraw the Clansman entirely from the market and to destroy the films. It was conceded by all present that the picture was unfair to the Negro and injurious to the public." MASONIC DISRUPTION PLOT HALTED BY LOUISIANA COURT SHREVEPORT, La., July 16—Judge J. H. Stephens, of this city, last week granted a restraining order to Atty. Charles Robinson, of this city, who appeared in behalf of St. John's Grand Lodge of this state, represented by Grand Master G. C. Williams, of this city. According to Atty, Robinson, the restraining order nipped in the bud an effort to disrupt and reorganize Masonry in this state. The attempt was made, it is claimed, by J. C. Cordova, of Brooklyn, who represented himself as The Sovereign Grand Commander of the Imperial Council of Masonry; G. C. Curtis, of Texarkana, claiming to be Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Texas; and J. S. Bivens, an alleged expelled member of St. John's Grand Lodge, of Louisiana. When the writ of injunction was served, the stage was all set in St James Hall, and the members were all seated in their regalia when the deputy sheriff appeared at the door. FATALLY INJURED IN TRAIN ACCIDENT MORRILTON, Ark., July 16—Columbus Wilson, 48, was fatally injured here when a freight car on which he was working was struck by a train making a "flying switch." Wilson was hurled from the car and on to the tracks. His right arm and leg were completely severed by the passing train. CARTER HAYES IS WHISKED AWAY TO CONFINEMENT Duped By Investigators Who Posed As Prospective Vice-Lords. Carter Hayes, alleged "runner" for the gambling syndicate which controls Second Ward vice, was kidnapped at midnight Sunday night in front of the old Pekin, 27th and State Streets, and whisked away in an automobile. In this bare news item lies an interesting and intriguing tale of legalized vice controlled by an invisible government which has made the Second Ward a refuge of safety for the most notorious criminals of the world. The story begins about four weeks ago, when two mysterious men appeared here posing as wealthy gambling promoters from East St. Louis. They were sunny, well dressed, and had plenty of money. Would Open Gambling House Would Open Gambling House They quickly allied themselves with the demiens of the underworld and became part of Chicago's night life. They shot craps, played poker and blackjack. They seemed to have an endless flow of money. If they won, they always threw a stake to the "rats" in the game, if they lost, they took their losses gracefully and with a smile. Finally they announced their intention of opening a gambling house for themselves. They were told that such an enterprise would require the sanction and approval of the "sindicate," which controls, protects, and levies tribute from all South Side gambling houses. If the syndicate bars your house, all the money on earth can't keep you open; if the syndicate approves your house, no power on earth can stop you, they were told. "Giv-a-Dam" Jones on the Scene About this time, they were taken in tow by a well-known character in sporting circles known as "Giv-a-Dam" Jones. Jones was evidently figuring on percentage. He believed that if the two mysterious strangers made good, and he was on the inside with them, he would have a soft berth. Jones explained to them more fully how necessary it was to get an audience with some member of the syndicate, or his representative. Jackson is said to have been suggested as the logical man. Rumor has it that Dan Jackson holds the key to the syndicate, and everything must come by him. But Jackson refused to treat with them, and thus kept his skirts clear. He evidently "smelt a rat." Get Details From Hayes Next the two "promoters" approached Carter Hayes. Hayes is said to be the man who delivers the orders from the vice-lords higher up. He is said to be the connecting link, and is generally known as the "syndicate runner." Hayes is said to have outlined to the men the necessary steps to take and the amount of money to be paid. Final arrangements were to be made at midnight Sunday at the gambling club operated in the old quarters of the Pekin, or Beaux Arts Club, 27th and State Streets. Promptly at midnight a closed car rolled up to the curb at 27th Street. Hayes was sitting in his car across the street talking to friends. He walked over to speak to the occupants of the closed car, who were the two mysterious gamblers. Suddenly he was snatched into the car, the motor roared, and the car dashed away along State Street. He has not been heard of since. Investigators. Not Gamblers It has since developed that the two mysterious strangers were not gamblers, but secret investigators. Their exact identity has not been learned, but it is strongly believed that they were under orders from Attorney-General Brundage's office. It is known that Brundage is out after the Thompson-Lundin-Small scalp, and this is thought to be one move of his Continued on page 4. Photo Underwood & Underwood, N. Y. WOMAN WHO SLEW HER HUSBAND HELD TO GRAND JURY WOMAN WHO SLEW HER HUSBAND HELD TO GRAND JURY Chicago's world-wide record of immunity for man-killing women received a slight check Monday when Jenney Wilkerson, 3031 La Salle Street, was held to the grand jury on a charge of murdering her common-law husband, Russell Sullivan, at their home.

REPUBLICANS BAR DOORS TO CONVENTION HALL IN RICHMOND, VA. RICHMOND, Va., July 16—Behind doors barred to all but white faces, the "lily-white" wing of the Republicanism in this state met at Harrison Hall last week for the purpose of electing delegates to the Republican State Convention in Norfolk in July. When the barred element under the leadership of Atty. John R. Pollard appeared and demanded admittance to the hall, they were met by police who said "We are under orders to allow no colored men to enter the hall."

EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill., July 16.—East Louis brought to an official close her race riots of July 1, 1917, last Monday, when $454,000 was paid as damages to those who suffered during the days and nights of violence. The office of the city treasurer was opened promptly at 9 o'clock and those holding validated claims lined up to receive their money. Holders of validated claims were paid in full. Scores of minor claimants who failed to succeed in getting their claims validated received no compensation for alleged losses. $450,000 of the money paid to riot victims was obtained by the city from the sale of a bond issue recently voted for the settlement of the judgments. Dr. Leroy Bundy is the one outstanding figure of the East St. Louis riots who is most keenly remembered. As a result of his attempts to organize the residents of the stricken district for self-defense, Dr. Bundy was arrested and tried for inciting rioting. He was convicted and sentenced to prison. His attorneys succeeding in obtaining a reversal for him after he had served several months in jail. He is now at liberty, practicing dentistry in Cleveland, Ohio, awaiting new trial.

The call was presented by Harry E. Davis, colored member of the Ohio legislature, and read as follows:— Call to the Nation The National Association for the Management of Colored People in its Twelfth Annual Conference, meeting in this great crisis of the world's reconstruction, would remind the nation that from our very first conference we have planted our agitation and action upon a careful and thorough investigation of the truth concerning the Negro problem. Often when we have published in our organ, THE CRISIS, and in letters and articles in the press, our findings and conclusions, we have been accused of exaggeration. Today we stand vindicated before the world in the revelations of Georgia, and knowing that Georgia is little if any worse than half a dozen other states, we solemnly adjure this nation to give more serious attention and more earnest action to this festering social sore. Lynching and mob violence against Negroes still looms as our most indefensible national crime and unless the present administration takes early action by legal enactment it will stand condemned of all thoughtful citizens north and south. Increasingly the Negro at Washington, Chicago, and Tulsa has been forced to give his life in self-defense. No man can do less for his family and people and it is a cruel campaign of lying that represents this fight for life as organized aggression. Negroes are not fooils Eleven million poor laborers do not seek war on a hundred million powerful neighbors. But they cannot and will not die without raising a hand when the nation lets its off-scourings and bandits insult, harry, loot and kill them. What is the cause of the new conflict of races in America? It is not simply a growing sense of manhood on the part of the blacks, it is increased lack of sympathy and sense of justice on the part of the whites and this arises from the snapping of those human bonds which must exist between neighbors. If the Negro child is not educated: if the Negro is segregated in federal departments and Oklahoma cities; if he is publicly insulted by "Jim Crow". A free and honest ballot is the basis of democracy, and this country owes it to its traditions to stop the "rotten borough" system of the South. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, representing 397 branches, 130,000 members, in forty-four states, and speaking in behalf of eleven millions of people, urges the Judiciary Committee of the United States House of Representatives now in charge of the Dyer Antilynching Bill to expedite this bill and report it favorably to the House. The colored people of the United States demand action and not reasons for delay. If this nation has not the power to stop lynching, it has not the power to exist. The National Association believes that colored men should make every effort to see that colored women register and vote at each election, and conversely, we urge colored women to induce colored men to respect and use their right of franchise. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People calls upon President Harding to invite the nations of the world to join the United States in a conference to discuss and adopt methods for world disarmament. The Twelfth Annual Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People desires to thank the officials and citizens of the City of Detroit for their hospital- THE CLUBS By Walter A.

"They say." chirps Zip, "that everything that choir pulls is good, and the solo by Mrs. Williams was a stunner. And didn't Mrs. Outley play the pianny?"

The Chicago Realty Association at its meeting in Olivet Church Friday evening gave an excellent program and tendered refreshments. President W. H. Fearrel made good talk. The Young Ladies Cosmopolitan Club met Friday evening. This dainty body of young misses seemed to be as pleasantly entertained on the inside of the structure, as the large coterie of "stage Johnnies" standing on the sidewalk in front of the north door, did appear to be living examples of polite patience personified. Meeting over many of the young ladies were accompanied by the nice young men. We hear "Zip" say, "Wonder which of those young men will be first to carry away one of those girls for good." Good guessing. The friend of the Standard Literary and the Family of Chicago Whip Clubs will be delighted to know that Mr. Chas, Jenkins, late President of the Standard, present member of the Corpus Juris and the University Society, is now President of the newly organized Pilgrim Dramatic Club. It will make a grand opening on the fourth Sunday (July) and invites the whole Family to be present and look them over. This Club has invited our essay contest in August. Thank you! The entrant from this club in our contest: Great Women of History, is Miss Zelma Watson. The Club is hopeful. Zip says: "Did you notice how the Club department is hobnobbing with the musical section of this paper?" We answered, "The one is so closely associated with the other it seems unavoidable, dear." The monthly musical at Institutional is fortunate in securing Mrs. Lecola Lilliad, Reader, to appear upon its program on July 10th. As usual Mrs. Lilliad delighted the audience. The entire program was good and audience representative. The Carter Charity Club announces that its president is about to take a trip to Camilla, Ga. ity; the trustees and pastor of the Second Baptist Church for the use of their excellent quarters; the Board of Finance; the use of the Central High School Auditorium; and the Detroit Branch for its thoughtful arrangements. The conference especially appreciates the aid which the colored papers of the country and the colored churches and the pastors have given in making the conference so widely known, thus insuring so great a measure of success. TEXAS LEGISLATOR ASKS STATE PROBE OF KU KLUX KLAN THE CHICAGO WHIP AUSTIN, Tex., July 16—A resolution proposing a probe of the Ku Klux Klan in Texas by the legislature at the coming session is to be introduced on the opening day by Representative Lee J. Rountree, of Brazos County, he announced today. Representative Rountree said that the resolution will call for legislative investigation of the klan and its activities in Texas and a report made to the legislature. The investigation is not proposed with a view to stamping out the klan in Texas if it is disclosed that there is such an organization, but merely to inform that the organization is doing and its purposes, Mr Rountree stated. The resolution is to be signed by Representatives Moore of Hunt and McKean of Caldwell, it was stated. Rapidly Growing The Ku Klux Klan is said to be rapidly growing in numbers in Texas LIBERTY LIFE CO. ISSUES LETTER OF CORRECTION Attention of Editor Chicago Whip, Gentlemen: I have been instructed by the Board of Directors of the Liberty Life Insurance Company to call your attention to a misstatement of fact made in the July 9, 1921, issue of the Chicago Defender (page 4, first column), concerning the Liberty Life Insurance Company, and at the same time respectfully to ask that the said misstatement of fact be corrected in this week's issue, preferably on the first page, and most certainly, at least in as prominent a column as the one in which the article now complained of appeared. The misstatement of fact starts with the caption, "Liberty Life Insurance Company Gets $100,000 Loan," and the body of the article, among other things, states "The Liberty Life Insurance Company, located in the Roosevelt State Bank Building, Grand Boulevard and 35th Street, has been successful in obtaining a $100,000 loan through the Lincoln State Bank, the bank appointing Mr. Charles B. Travis and Dr. Merwyn Bibb as the chief appraisers before negotiating this loan to the Liberty Life Insurance Company **** Now to point out specifically the matters erroneously stated: The Liberty Life Insurance Company did not, as you represent, effect a loan of one hundred thousand dollars from the Lincoln State Bank, nor did it negotiate a loan for as much as one cent from that bank, or any other bank, for that matter. On the other hand, the Liberty Life Insurance Company purchased from the Lincoln State Bank one hundred thousand dollars worth of securities, mainly first mortgages on property owned by Negroes in the City of Chicago, thus investing its entire capital stock of one hundred thousand dollars, every dollar of which being raised by individual subscriptions for the said capital stock, according to the spirit and letter of "An act to organize and regulate the business of life insurance. (Approved March 26, 1869; in force July 1, 1869; as amended L. 1907-1911-1917-1919)." Furthermore, Mr. Charles B. Travis and Mr. Merwyn Bibb were not appointed as appraisers to determine anything at all as a condition precedent to the negotiating a loan, but rather they were appointed to serve in the capacity of appraisers, pursuant to Section 10 of the Act above referred to, which is these words: "That before any Life Insurance company goes into operation, under the law of this State, a guarantee capital of least one hundred thousand dollars shall be paid in money and invested in * * * , or in mortgages being first liens on real estate in this State, the said real estate being worth at least twice the amount of money loaned thereon, with abstract showing a good and sufficient title, and the certificate of two reputable landholders, under oath, certifying to the value of said property." In other words, these two men appraised the first mortgages which the Liberty Life Insurance and to have gained the support of influential persons, although this cannot be verified. Recently, in Dallas, lights suddenly were extinguished in the streets and immediately the klansmen began parading through the streets in their white uniform, spiked caps, and with their horses also uniformed. The parade was an impressive sight as the klansmen, in perfect order, rode quietly through the streets. No disorders were reported in connection with the parade and the klansmen dispersed as quietly and as mysteriously as they had appeared. In other parts of the state their activities have been reported, but thus far no official action has been taken on the issue. A separate anonymous, threatening letters have been investigated and in each case it was definitely ascertained that the klan was not implicated in these matters. July 11, 1921 Company purchased from the Lincoln State Bank. I submit that these misstatements of fact, unless promptly and sufficiently corrected, will result in an irreparable damage to the Liberty Life Insurance Company, and I offer several reasons to sustain my contention. First, to charge that the company completed its organization by borrowing money is to charge every director of the said company with making fraudulent representations to the State in order to secure a license to do business, thus subjecting all parties concerned to a criminal liability, for the law requires and the company fulfilled that requirement, that the entire capital stock be paid in by the stockholders and invested as aforementioned. Second, the report that the company negotiated a loan for one hundred thousand dollars not only subjects the Board of Directors to as many lawsuits as there are stockholders in the company by reason of their doing an "Ultra Vires" act, but also lays them open to vicious and unkind attacks from the general public and causes their motives in organizing the company to be impugned—which developments would greatly impede the progress of the said company.

On June Mth in the presence of a brilliant and distinguished company the University of Chicago. conferred the degree of Doctor of Philosophy on “Miss Georgiana Simpson here in’ our own city. The occasion was all the more brilliant and noteworthy becawse Madame Curie, the discoverer of ra- dium, was at the same time and on the sume platform giyen the honorary. de- gree of Doctor of Science by the Uni- versity of Chicago, Miss Simpson, therefore, deserves the palm as_ the first woman of our race in America to receive the degree of Ph.

Kavanaugh, @ ‘nurse at the Naval Academy hospital will not be hanged for the crime, in keeping with a_sentence imposed’ by United States District Judge John C. Rose. At least this is’ deduced from explanations made today at the office of the Attorney General Daugherty in Washington in giving reasons for the two reprieves granted to Brown, According to-W. Frank Gibbs, at- istant to Attorney General Daugh- erty, the testimony of several im- portant, witnesses, on which Brown's conviction was probably brought about, is conflicting in essential de tails, which accounts for the reprieves granted and raises a serious doubt as to whether Brown will be hanged. However, Gibbs said the fate of Brown depends largely upon the find- ings of James A. Finch, attorney in charge of pardons of the Department Mr. Finch is now engaged in review- ing the testimony in the case, and his decision will probably be made pub lic in a few days, Governor Ritchie's letter addressed to Attorney General Daugherty in which the executive expressed the hope that the Department will act fi nally in the case before the expiration of the second reprieve, which expires August 1, was turned over to Finch. Gibbs Said there is no disposition on the part of the Department of Jus~ tice to. show Brown any special con- sideration, nor is the Department dis- posed to railroad him to the gallows ‘o satisfy public clamour, S.

THE CHICAGO WHIP SYNDICATES RUNNER IS KIDNAPPED Continued from page 1. to definitely fix the responsibility for the syndicate's regim of power squarely upon the City Hall. If it can be learned just where the rake-off from the games finally goes, and it is believed this is Bundage's object is a scandal equal will be created in law-enforcing circles. $5,000 Per Person To Syndicate It is estimated that fully $5,000 per week is paid in to the "syndicate" through Second Ward gambling houses. A rake-off of 40 per cent of the gross receipts is demanded from each game. One game alone on the South Side is known to pay $00 per week. Where this money finally goes, no one knows, because the organization is so well handled, and the veil of secrecy is so closely drawn, that today, after years of "S syndicate Reign," the actual heads of the organization are still unknown. One prominent gambler said recently: 'I don't object so much to paying protection, but the 40 per cent I pay is absolutely lost to the game. It goes into the vaults of the big men, and is never seen again. If a gambler gets it, it is returned to the play and kept circulating, but when the syndicate gets it, it is gone forever.' **Gambling Circles Upset** As a result of the arrest of Hayes, and the deep significance it bears, gambling circles are deeply agitated. Most gamblers are uncertain what the ultimate results of the breakdown of the syndicate will mean, but all breathe a sigh of relief to know that they may soon enjoy a respite from its bloodsucking tactics. There is strong reason to believe that State's Attorney Crowe, although a member of the Thompson camp, has lent all his influence and power to break up gambling. Crowe made several pre-election promises regarding gambling and vice in the Second Ward. A definite effort to make good on these promises has been observed. Judge Crowe is said to have aroused the anger of syndicate heads several weeks ago, when his raiders closed up several games thought to be protected, and jailed the keepers. If Crowe maintains his present policy, say keen students of local politics, he JAPAN FLAYS U. S. ON LYNCHING RECORD NEW YORK CITY, July 16.—Japanese condemnation of American lynchings has been received in the form of a four column editorial in the Asian Review, May-June number, published in Tokyo, Japan. "Americans vociferously claim to be the champions of justice and humanity," says the editorial, "yet they do not hesitate to trample upon these very principles and perpetrate the foulest deed ever conceived." The crime referred to is the burning alive, at the stake, of Henry Lowery, at Nodena, Arkansas, on January 26, 1921. The matter quoted by the Asian Review was press publicity matter sent out to the foreign press of the world by the New York office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "It is an indelible stain," the editorial continues, "on the name of America that in this enlightened age such crimes should take place publicly and the offenders go unpunished. It goes to demonstrate the utter callousness of hearts of the American public. Lynching is possible in the United States because the spirit of America is in favor of it. If this were not true, this foul crime would never have grown to its present proportions nor would any of the more than three thousand lynchings during the past thirty-two years have taken place." The editorial concludes by saying that creation of a strong public opinion throughout the world will be necessary "In order to bring sufficient pressure to bear on the American government to adopt effective measures at once so as to make it impossible for the American mobs to resort to these barbarous excesses."

The Grand Frank Montgomery and his "Hello 1921" company closed their engagement on last Sunday night, owing to the hot weather.

"SACRED AND PROFANE At the Vendome Theatre, Thursday Friday, Saturday, July 14, 15, 16, featuring Elsie Ferguson. A drama of a soul's awakening. The soul of a lonely girl, athirst for life. Lured by the melting music of a trifter into a mad infatuation. And then— The soul of a woman glorified Struggling out of the shadows to mend at last the broken life of the man who first won her love. Elsie Ferguson's greatest stage success—now throbbing on the screen. 'PLAYTHINGS OF DESTINY At the Vendome Theatre, Sunday, July 17, featuring Anita Stewart. "What has this man been to you?" her husband demanded. And Julie, who had prayed that that question never would be asked, made her confession. "My husband," she replied. "And you were divorced?" "No." "Then you were still married to him when you married me?" "Yes; but I had to do it." "You'll find new heights of dramatic art in this story of a girl who was big-amously guilty, yet innocently bigamous. "REPUTATION" Up the ladder of fame and down the path of infamy went Laura Figlan, traveling on her beauty and her power to fascinate men—until "Reputation" played a terrible trick on her. Priscilla Dean portrays this magnificent drama of woman against woman. A picture as big as the value of your own good name. It carries you from an American small town to the dazzling heart of fashionable London, to the famous Limehouse slums, back to America and the tremendous finale before the footlights. The wine glass of dissipation turned into chalee of sorrow for Laura Figlan, the famous actress whose heart is laid bare in "Reputation." The wreck of a man staggered to his death in the swirling black maw of the river. A block away the woman who had wrought his ruin danced on a table at the most magnificent banquet ever held.

NOW Paradise The Fairuland MUSICIANS' NOTES MUSICIANS' NOTES The two young gentlemen recently suspended from office by the Board of Directors of Musicians Local 208, will learn their lesson in the coming trial, as to their fitness to hold down the organization's executive offices with disregard to the federation laws. There may be something else for them to combat also. Truly, it is a great awakening for this local, and much praise to the committee who uncovered these irregularities. Arthur T. Steward, the vice president of Local 208, will act as president in the place of Hugh T. Swift and Mr. Lanson is appointed temporary corresponding secretary, taking the place of Mr. Copeland, the suspended secretary. Clarence Jones and his orchestra will open the Avenue Theatre on September 3rd, it is reported. Mr. Hall has got the main floor of the Union Building looking pretty good. It goes to show what private ownership will do. The U. S. Government handed back the railroads and that alone goes to show that the members were thinking in the proper channel when they let the main floor out to private interests. Clint Hill, the financial secretary of Local 208 has made good. He is at all times looking out for the best interests of the local. A good old seasoned mind, one that is needed in any organization of young men. Raymond K. Whitsett returned to the city this week. Mr. Whitsett went home to bury his mother, who lived in Lathrope, Mo. The Whip extends to Mr. Whitsett its sincere sympathy.

COLLINS LEAVES TUTT AND WHITNEY'S SHOW With the closing of Whitney and Tutt's season 1920-1921, H. D. Collins severs his connections with these well known comedians, with whom he has been associated the past eight seasons in the capacity of business manager. Mr. Collins has been identified with Colored shows the past twenty years, and knows more about this line of theatricals than any other white man in the business, and has piloted Whitney and Tutt to the very pinnacle of popularity. Mr. Collins was with the "Black Patti" show for many years and was schooled by its managers, Voelckel and Nolan. After a short and needed rgst, Mr. Collins will probably launch a Colored enterprise, and is known as a man of integrity, and an indefatigable worker with no detrimental habits, and his word with theatre managers is accepted without question. With the Actors. Ruby Shelton, of Indianapolis, was in the city this week looking the Actors over. He is getting a bill for the opening of a new theatre he has taken the management of in Indianapolis. Tom Cross and Margaret Jackson are taking a much needed rest after a very successful season. Grant and Perkins are laying off for a few weeks and will leave the latter part of August on their already prepared long route to the coast. Covan and Jones have joined hands in a new act and the agents are bidding high for this team of real dancers. Jones and Jones just arrived from the East and will spend the summer here with the gang. The Actors Club are now located in their new quarters at 3221 So. State Street. Tom Lemonier and Chas. Moore are the founders of this much needed actors' rest. Ben Shook, a well known Detroit musician, has taken over the Vaudette Theatre, formerly owned by E. B. Dudley, who is reported bankrupt. I. M. Weingarten, the showman, has taken a half interest in the Frank Montgomery Show, a very good move for Frank, as he himself is one of the Race's best producers, and this ability coupled with the Weingarten finance, should produce a wonderful attraction. Bonny and Freeman will soon start on their route. This team has played all over Europe and expect to sail again next year. Both of the Clem C. Miller shows are expecting to close for the summer, according to reports from the East. The Dunbar Theatre in Philadelphia has closed for the summer, and Gibson's, ain't packing 'em in as usual. The Avenue Theatre will open on September 3 with white vaudeville and pictures, also what few good colored acts that are available will be used. A wise policy for the time it will last. Quintard Miller and his company will open at The Grand, Monday, September 5. It is reported he has the best show on the road this season. The LaFayette Drama Players The LaFayette Drama Players The LaFayette Drama Players will open at The Grand the middle of August. In the cast will be the old favorites, Andrew Bishop, Evelyn Ellis, Susie Sutton, Alice Gorges, Ida Brown, Jvv Hubbard, Chas Moore, Chas, Olden, J. Lawrence Criner Lionel Monagas and others. The best melodrama available will be produced. Mr. Johnston, the popular manager of the Grand, is sparing no expense to give the public a run for their money in the way of putting on real costly attractions. The opening date will be announced later. Elmerine Fountain Piano Teacher 2206 Austin Avenue "The European" FIRST-CLASS Chinese and American RESTAURANT Under New Managament 11 A. M. to 3 P.

Wilson held his own in the second round but all others went to Owens by a large majority. In the preliminary, Joe Zeno, a Kansas City biter and young Congo, a Windy City scraper, turned a highly spirited mix, in fact a much better entertainment than the main go. The battle royal, as usual, was the real thing, and the crowd was sent away well pleased with the evening's skirmishes. SMASHERS ILL AT EASE AGAINST FOSTERITES SMASHERS ILL AT EASE AGAINST FOSTERITES Drake Fails to Go the Route, Blanked 2-0 in Duel With Williams Like all the others, the alleged heavy smashing St. Louisans checked their war clubs at the gate when it was noised that Tom Williams was to pitch. At that they did a little better than the other section of Missourians heavy rapping baseball populace, the K. C. Monarchs. One lone bingle tricked off the Monarchs' bats on shut-out day for them, while Providence was mighty considerate in the St. Louis case, allowing Hewitt to get away with a couple of Texas leaguers, which to all appearances came as blindly pokes, anything to ward off a strike-out. In the ninth, Kenward tried to hit the ball a mile, resulting in a perfect bent, to the surprise of all hands present, including Catcher Brown, whose tardiness virtually resulted in another horse-shoe hit, making three in all for the lucky Mound city crew. Drake heaved a fair game, we say fair, because the Foster crew waited him out, seemingly timing the exact inning in which the big heaver would blow to a certainty. It was the seventh, and three two baggers and two runs was the sum total of damage to the great Drake effort. Tom Williams pitched circles around the big St. Louisan, even before the fatal seventh, which is revealed, as Drake had allowed one hit and four base on balls, an equivalent to five hits. The great St. Louis outfield gave the crowd an awful down throw, failing to function up to advance press stuff. However, Dudley, the lead man, pulled an exemplification of posing at bat that knocked the best thing that Chaplin ever did in a picture into a cocked hat. The second game waxed into a farce, and the plight of Midget Oldham worked the crowd up to such a pitch of frenzy that he had to be replaced in the short seven innings fray.

St. Monica Downed 10: The winning streak of St. Monica baseball team was broken last Saturday when Olivet took the Catholic aggregation down the thorny path of defeat by score of 10-4. Owing to the stringent rules of the Church league against professionalism, deportment of players and other necessary regulations in order that the well established traditions of the Church league be maintained, the Olivet victory is slated as a protested one on the alleged claim of Olivet playing with a suspended player in the line-up, before said alleged suspension had been lifted. CLASSY CHICAGO BROWNS WIN TWO AT OMAHA OMAHA. Neb., July 10—The classy Chicago Catcher journeyed to Omaha for a three game series with the Murphy-did-it Club of that city. The Browns were successful in winning two out of the three games. They took the Saturday combat by the score of 5 to 1 with Gambille pitching a five-hit game. The features of the Saturday game were the sensational fielding of King and the hitting of Catcher Huff, who connected safely with the ball five times out of as many times at bat. The opening game of the twin bill Sunday was won by the Omaha Club by the score of 13 to 3 with Chattman hurling indifferent ball than usual. The third and final game of the series was a pitcher's battle between Gambille and Dykes. The Omaha boys were unable to connect with the balls of Pitcher Gambille. In the seventh inning Hicks led off with a single and short. James flied out, Shelton batted for Chattman and doubled scoring, Hicks trying the score. Kelly doubled, scoring Shelton with the winning run. The remaining two innings Gambille had the white boys at his mercy. Out of the entire series Catcher Huff batted 14 times and knocked 1 triple, 2 doubles and 8 singles making a record of 11 hits out of 14 times at bat. # First Game Browns AB R H E Ellis, ss 4 0 1 0 King, 2b 4 1 2 1 Cope, 3b 5 1 1 0 Huff, c 5 1 5 0 Hicks, lf 4 1 1 0 James, lf 4 0 1 0 Chatman, rf 4 0 1 1 Kelly, cf 4 1 1 0 Gambille, p 4 0 1 0 Total 38 5 14 3 Murphy's AB R H E Gray, cf 4 0 0 0 Clair, lf 4 0 1 0 Madley, lf 4 0 0 0 Williams, c 4 0 1 0 Kelly, c 3 0 1 0 Ecklymyer, 2b 3 0 1 0 Mirsky, rf 3 1 1 0 Cochran, 3b 3 0 1 1 Graves, p 3 0 0 0 Total 34 1 5 2 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Browns 0 2 0 0 3 0 0 0 Murphy's 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 # Second Game Browns AB R H E Ellis, ss 5 0 0 0 2 King, 2b 5 1 1 1 Cope, 3b 5 1 1 0 Huff, c 5 1 3 0 Hicks, 1b 4 0 1 0 James, lf 4 0 0 0 Kettle, rf 4 0 0 0 Kelly, cf 4 0 0 0 Chatman, p 4 0 0 0 Total 40 3 5 7 Murphy's AB R H E Gray, cf 5 2 2 0 Clair, lf 5 2 1 0 Madley, lf 5 1 2 0 Williams, c 4 1 1 0 Kelly, ss 5 1 2 2 Ecklymyer, 2b 5 1 1 1 Mirsky, rf 4 2 0 0 Cochran, 3b 4 2 1 0 Madden, p 4 1 1 0 Total 41 13 11 4 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Browns 0 0 3 0 0 0 0 0 Murphy's 3 0 3 1 3 0 2 1* # Third Game Browns AB R H E Ellis, ss 4 0 0 0 0 King, 2b 3 0 1 1 Cope, 3b 3 0 1 0 Huff, c 3 0 3 0 Hicks, 1b 3 1 1 0 James, lf 3 0 1 0 Chatman, rf 3 0 0 0 Kelly, cf 3 0 1 0 Gambille, p 3 0 1 0 Silton, lf 1 1 0 0 Total 30 2 8 1 Shelton batted for Chatman in 7th Murphy's AB R H E Gray, 1b 4 0 0 0 Clair, lf 4 0 0 0 Madley, lf 4 0 0 0 Williams, c 3 1 1 0 Kelly, ss 4 0 0 0 Ecklymyer, 2b 3 0 0 0 Mirsky, rf 3 0 0 0 Cochran, 3b 3 0 1 0 Dykes, p 3 0 0 0 Total 30 1 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Browns 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 Murphy's 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 WILSON TO FIGHT ROBINSON FOR TITLE WILSON TO FIGHT ROBINSON FOR TITLE BOSTON, Mass., July 16—Johnny Wilson, white world's middleweight champion, will defend his title in a ten round decision bout against George Robinson, the Cambridge fighter, at the Boston Arena next Friday night. The titleholder has been guaranteed $10,000 win or lose. Robinson has a verdict to his credit over Wilson, while he also bested him in a no-decision tussle in Montreal. The Montreal affair was staged last January. Wilson has a wholesome respect for Robinson's ability, but is confident he will be returned the winner.

Opinions Of Whip Readers Jack Johnson, the bronze kero of many a scrap in the squared arena has been released from prison where he has just served a one year sentence for the violation of the Adam Baldwin case. The court has ordered someone have paid the railroad fare of a white girl from Pittsburgh to Chicago for the purpose of obtaining her guilty plea. Jack's guilt we have nothing to say he has been judged guilty and has satisfied the court with the performance of his sentence. Jack's guilty plea is that he ex-champion heavy weight boxer of the world is well known an exconvict be read from prison and an exconvict stand in good grace with the general public. Jack's Peculiar Series Working hard in this series, his birth of his kind into prominence as a pugilist is the most interesting tale of the ex-champ, Pennilleus and hungry his long, lean and gaunt figure has been seen around the hang out of the good old days. He was born in New York, Phila, and Chicago. After enduring the privations and suffering which Dempsey could not have survived under, he began to attract attention and finally was made a member of the mankiller. His meticrise to glory is well remembered and when after chasing Tommy Burns, the one-time champ, all over the world he finally got his chance and Burns was that. He was a great puncher and punches of the great Jack. He was given the belt and was immediately honored, praised and patted for his wonderful victory. It is not easy to believe that a few feet can stand before you and know that in your fierce fists lies the strength to conquer any mortal man. This is what Johnson felt and knew. Gold, great volumes of this shiny metal, turned his head and made him giddy is he to blame? What would you have done? GIANTS TRIM THE STARS CINCINNATI, O., July 5—The Chicago Giants played great ball at Redland Field, backing up the splendid dhurling of Miller in brilliant style and enabling the visitors to take the third game of the series from the Cuban Stars by the score of 8 to 2. Miller held the hard-hitting Cubans to four hits. Manella was hit effectively in the pinches and received ragged support in spots. The Cubans executed three senational double plays that cuff off possible counters for the visitors. Rios, the sensational short-stop, accepted 14 chances without a wobble.

Jack came back. He did his time. He has lost his citizenship, and we who are colored have suffered because of him. He is still a small card and will no doubt command great crook ever he appears. What shall we do with him? 1921. Sporting Editor of the Chicago Whip. Dear Sir—In reply "Should Jack Johns be re-admitted to Sporting circles?" my answer is "Yes, why not?" The broadcast anouncement through the daily press of the county against the Johnson was again, and by the way would only throw his hat in the ring but would re-enter the ring and would be a contender for world champion honors, has caused a mighty stir in sporting circles. The town of Johnson is it. It is the talk of the towns, from the front porches, in the streets, theaters and even the devout church worshipers who whispering about Jack Johnson coming back. Today he is the man who should be re-admitted because he has not been charged with any crime in the sporting circle. He has not abused himself, he has trotted around the globe. He was not a champion of the France; he urged loyalty to humanity's cause. He should be readmitted to put the emergency air brakes on the rising tide of race prejudice and to make Tex Rickard promoter and manager of the race against colored fighters, eat their own vittals twice in as much as Morse after his conviction and who served a time in the Federal Prison was re-admitted to the financial world. That is his profession, why debar him from it? Would you debar others from their profession from re-entering their chosen profession Jack Johnson is free man. To that, he will be offered the battle. His color line will not save him. There are more promotors than one; there are plenty of monkeyed sporting men in America and it will be no surprise that Jack Johnson will be offered the battle of the two Jacks than there was for the Jack and the Georges. Then Dempsey will come out forgetting the color line and Jack Johnson will recapture the color line and Jack Johnson will be the mighty host of "has been." Let the colored press force the issue and every colored man, woman and child raise up as one and push each other to the mighty place they might upper it this great color, the color Pardon me please, I am not of the sporting circle, but happen to be a preacher. circle, but happen to be a preacher.

CHICAGO MAGNATES TO PLAY HERE SUNDAY A'S AND GIANTS Coming right on the heels of two weeks of hard play, the American Giants will have their work all cut out for them Sunday when they lock horns with the Chicago Magnates. This is one of Chicago's leading league teams, and they come with a line-up composed of major and minor league talent of the first water. This is the same team that fought such fierce battles against the Detroit Stars and other big clubs, and the best pitching talent will be commanded for the Sunday scrap against the Fresno Bears. The South State-streeters strikes heavy for prestige, and a club negotiating bookings at Schorling park encounters no difficulty whatever in assembling an aggregation of pastimers that never fails to push the Dark Champs to the full limit of their playing ability before a victory is tabbed. The Magnates have, for many seasons, been dubbed the strongest crew traveling the Chicago League circuits and according to the doping of the wise heads, they are particularly framed in ability to knock the Fosterites from the high pedestal which they occupy, not only amongst their own clan, but among the circles of the Lily-White leaguers. It required the best that the Foster crowd could produce to down the Progressives earlier in the season, Tom Williams pitching a one-hit game in order to gain the verdict. Then the Fosters have never wiped out the defeats administered by the strong Rogers Parks and Beloius. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that through the prestige of the Magnates, gained through frequent wins over the aforementioned teams, that "Rube" and his charges will have to be up to their very best form if they take this team to a fall Sunday. At any rate, the figuring all along the line in Chicago league circles, seems to favor the Magnate team in Sunday's encounter. Fosters Beaten 10-3 ST. LOUISE. Mo., July 11—The first game of the series between the home club and the American Giants resulted in a win for the locals. Marshall was rapped for three runs in the first inning, two in the fourth and third and three in the sixth.

C's and Chicago Giants divided a twin bill at Washington Park, the invaders taking the first, a pitchers' duel between Johnson and Taylor, 2 to 1, and the A. B. C's salting the second away by a 9-to-5 count. Johnson's good hurling in the opener went for naught when his support cracked in the seventh, the Giants scoring their only runs of the game. A rally of the A. B. C's in the eighth fell short, after Holloway had tripled to start the inning. The A. B. C's started the second game with a rush and maintained a steady bombardment on Miller, while Jeffries was steady except in the fifth round. The same clubs will play today at 3:15.

The shattered ideals, the blasted dreams, the illusionary mirage and the pititable discouragement of the tall, angular man of color with his sixty years of wrinkles is shared by many of the dark skinned pilgrims who also are in the slough of despond. This is no time for discouragement, despondency or despair. We know that up to the present it has been extremely difficult to drive the members of the race into organized effort. We know that it has been extremely difficult to get the fullest degree of economic and political action. We realize that inaction, apathy and inertia can be found among the colored people of America. Yet we are not only hopeful, we are confident that the future of the American Negro is to be a glowing record of achievement and it is only a question of time before the despised "half man" will elevate his status to that of the other giant racial groups. The American Negro is going through an evolutionary period—a period that is always slow and gradual but always constructive. Evolution is a process of nature which neither prejudice, inertia or apathy can stem. THE AMERICAN NEGRO IS THE STRONGEST RACE POTENTIALLY IN THE WORLD. IT THRIVES IN THE CESSPOOLS OF CIVILIZATION AND GROWS LIKE A LILY OUT OF THE MARSHES—IT CANNOT BE STEMMED. The air castles and ideals which have been devastated and destroyed will be rebuilt by black artisans who even now are at work in their closets. That crimson colored fluid that we mortals call blood gives life, energy and activity to mankind. It is the vital principle of life—the cause of temper, disposition and state of passions. The blood of the American Negro is the most virile, reproductive and vigorous in all creation. It is a mixed product, free from stagnation, which has not been devitalized by excessive inbreeding as has been the blood of the white and yellow races. The American Negro is a NEW RACE which has no worn-out cells. Lifegiving properties inherited from his brilliant Egyptian ancestors can still be found. The genius of that blood is still retained. The daring fire of the Caucasian burns the genius of the Egyptian and powers of both of these strains of blood have been fused in the arteries of the American Negro. That blood must tell and it will tell. Time alone is to determine his future. The time for pessimism or despair has not arrived. Give that blood chance to assert itself. Do not subdue it but aid it with political and economic action. The work of Nature is slow, but like the mills of the gods it grinds incessantly. A Belt of Democracy.

Dempsey is the heavyweight boxing champion of the world and wears the belt which is the honorary emblem of his distinctive achievement. This belt is supposed to be the symbol of athletic prowess and made to be worn by the most skillful and powerful man-fighter in the world, regardless of his color or race. This belt is supposed to be a belt of democracy. Dempsey can't see it that way, and it is easy to appreciate his viewpoint, he is afraid and a yellow streak of cowardice runs down his back as broad as a barn door. A black man is no more powerful physically than a white one, but he is a more vicious fighter and puts a greater premium on his victory. The man of color is always fighting, with him it is battle for his whole race. In the late war the black man was called upon and the bullets and gas of the Kaiser knew no color line. He fought both willingly and unwillingly for his country, while this same Dempsey was here wearing patent leather shoes in a shipyard. Will the American public give some of the black hopes a chance in the manly art of self defense? Surely the whole white race is not afraid. THE WEEK'S BEST EDITORIAL CHURCHES—MINISTERS—STOREFRONTS (From the Chicago Enterprise) Those with the interests of christianity at heart cannot but be troubled over the developments and tendencies on the part of some who would commercialize religion. Of course no sane man would dare criticize or make any statements about "the" church that would hinder its progress. God forbid that this paper will ever be charged with such doings. Critism is only in order when it tends to construct rather than destruct. It is often said that we possess more religion than all other races put together, if numbers of churches count this must be true. The writer took the occasion a few days ago to count the number of churches in Chicago between 27th and 39th north and south and Cottage Grove and Calumet Ave. east and west. In this territory were 18 churches—mostly store fronts—averaging a church to each block. Surely it is unfortunate that the conception of the ministry is so blank in the minds of so many people. Where do they conceive the idea that all a man has to do is "spell" a few --- by request.) I say, your hope for your people be for the future of your race? If so, you that "your fears may be liars like concealed. Your enemies chase assess the field."

It is that pure and simple. Many of these imposters are merely in the game for what is in it, knowing that many of our people are super-religious and will give their last penny to the church. Chicago needs more business enterprises and fewer so-called churches and these store fronts could be used to an advantage for this purpose. All of these preachers must be paid by somebody—somehow. The president of a white insurance company incidentally showed the writer a check recently which was about to be mailed to one of these ministers of the gospel for "charity." The cause for which the money was solicited may be all right, but a special request was made to make same out to John Doe. On the face of it, it looks suspicious and such suspicion might have been removed had an organization been named for the check to be made out to. All of these things cause honest ministers to receive less support than they deserve and some steps must be taken to rid society of these "parasites" and force them to do an honest day's labor. --- UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP Constructive Criticism of Men and Measures, In the Hope of Correcting Errors and Evils. At last the mysterious gambling syndicate in Chicago's Second Ward has been discovered. The Chicago Whip was the only paper which has taken a pronounced stand against such unmitigated crime. The quarrel, which was inevitable, arose over a division of ill-gotten profits and when thieves and robbers fall out some squealer will always disclose the plot. We are waiting in suspense to learn how the authorities will deal with this heinous institution. New York's Educational Society gives a scholarship to certain medical graduates of Howard University. These scholarships give special training for black physicians, provided they agree to practice in the South. While the proviso is all right we must question the motives of the Society in forcing the recipients to practice in the South. Why is it that the same northerners wish the black people to remain in the South and will make no effort to destroy the curses which make life there as miserable as hell? One of the aldermen of Chicago who happens to be a black man is making quite a financial success out of his position. Whenever he is requested to do a favor, even if it is for one of his race he meekly mumbles: That will cost you one hundred dollars. The people who voted this political Shylock into office are the very ones who are losing the pound of flesh. When the next election comes they will not be allowed to forget. Henry Lincoln Johnson is being praised by the Journals published in the interest of black people. This is not surprising because most of the editors are themselves looking for easy political jobs and they feel that if Johnson's methods are successful they had better stick with him. The interest of their race is secondary and unimportant when the rattle of easy money is heard. These practices deny the respect from the white man which other people get. William Henry Lewis, formerly Assistant Attorney General of the United States and a black man, is also in the field for a political job. The influence of the late Booker T. Washington made his former position possible and it is easy to guess at the methods used. Lewis belongs to the old time Uncle Tom crowd and is in no mental condition to benefit his race by climbing into the limelight. He will do well to remain before the bar. Health Hints By Dr. Troy Smith Frequent bathing is of great importance in all seasons and especially in the summer. Baths find their use fulness in the following manner: First they stimulate the circulation of the blood in the tissues. Second they act as a nerve sedative and nerve tonic. Third they reduce teratogenicity and inflammatory conditions. Fourth, they open the pores of the skin and allow waste products from the system to be eliminated. First they stimulate the circulation of the blood in the tissues. Second they act as a nerve sedative and nerve tonic. Third they reduce temperature and inflammatory conditions. Fourth, they open the pores of the skin and allow waste products from the system to be eliminated. Fifth, they act as a counter irritant Sixth, bathing is conducive to cleanliness In order that the desired end may be attained the bath should be taken at regular intervals. These on an average should be at least every second day in the summer, though there are many individuals representing the finest types of physical manhood, who look upon their bath as an altogether indispensable operation of every day life. In order that it may be beneficial the bath should not be taken at a time when any of the important organs of the body are engaged in the performance of their functions. It should not, therefore, too closely precede or follow a meal; nor should it be taken at a time when the mind is engaged in some perplexing problem or exhausting labor. Kinds of Baths: (1) Sponge bath is the most simple and best suited to very feeble individuals. (2) Sitz bath or that of sitting in any conveniently shallow vessel of water, and also receiving water squeezed from a sponge held over the shoulder or any other part of the body. Afterwards the surface should be quickly dried, and attention given to getting up a glow of reaction. (3) Shower bath. Various methods are in use to produce the affusion of water upon the body in a manner both pleasant and beneficial. The shower bath when judiciously used is probably the most valuable of all forns of baths; it is well to begin with warm water, pour water, touch it with a gradual process, cold water may be substituted. (4) The Turkish or hot air bath is a remedy of special value in gout, chronic rheumatism, malaria, neuralgia, various skin diseases, obesity and a long list of chronic affec Remember to pay strict attention to the rules that govern a bath. Many persons bathe too much; others too little. The most important rule, and the one most violated, is that in rubbing down after indulging in exercise. Every day thousands take exercise in the form of tennis, baseball and outdoor sports, after which they neglect to remove their underclothing and take a bath followed by a vigorous rub down with a coarse towel. THE CHICAGO WHIP IAL Editor's Mail Mr. Joseph D. Bibb, Editor, THE CHICAGO WHIP, 3420 State Street, Chicago, Ill. Dear Sir: I would like to ask you a question which has bothered me for some time. Why do our people continue to put thousands and thousands of dollars in huge piles of stones, paying as high as $85,000.00 for one church edifice? Why not put the same amount of money in a factory which would give employment to hundreds if not thousands of our people rather than place hard earned dollars in huge stone structures which in many instances finally become a garage or some other place of business. Why do not our clergymen instruct their people to invest their money to a better advantage? If the same people would invest the same amount of money that they put in churches in gilt edge securities like the Public Life Insurance Company and others they would really have something saved and aided a company which would employ many of the race. I ask you why? Very truly yours, COUNT F. R. CARMICHAEL. DR.
