Heeding her departed sister's dying injunction, Mrs. Henry Jennings, 2947 rPairie Ave, refused to allow her niece to be taken from her care, and when attacked by the child's step-father, Joseph McCoy, she shot him dead. When Mrs. McCoy died in August, she entrusted her 13-year old daughter, Ruby Lee McCoy, to the care of her sister, Mrs. Jennins. She asked that the child be guarded and protected, and never allowed to leave her aunt. Monday night Joseph McCoy, the dead women's husband, and step-father of the child appeared at the home of Mrs. Jennings and demanded custody of Ruby Lee. Mrs. McCoy refused to surrender the child and ordered McCoy from her home. He became abusive, and began to beat and curse her, according to her testimony at the coroner's inquest. When he attacked her she fled from one room to another, finally taking refuge in her bedroom. In the drawer of her dresser was a revolver. When McCoy broke into the bedroom and cornered her in his rage, she seized the gun and fired one shot, killing him instantly. The bullet entered his body just above the heart. At the coroner's inquest Tuesday morning at Jackson's Morgue, 3317 State St., coroner's jury voted a charge of murder against her. She will be held for indictment by the grand jury. McCoy was 31 years of age and lived at 3012 Vernon Ave. FORMER MINISTER TO LIBERIA LEAVES $300,000 ESTATE ST. LOUIS, Mo., Oct. 15.—The estate of J.

Mob Drives Miles to Lynch Man, Quits at Prison Doors DALLAS, Tex.; Oct. 15.—A large crowd of whites that came here motor cars from Fort Worth, early Friday, for the announced purpose of lynching David Bunn, held in connection with the robbery of members of a house party near Fort Worth Tuesday night, disbanded shortly after their arrival. It is understood the members of the "vengeance nad" have gone back to Fort Worth. No concerted effort was made to obtain Bunn, who was brought here for safekeeping following his indictment at Fort Worth yesterday on a charge of robbery with firearms. Fort Worth Jail Searched Before starting for Dallas the crowd compelled officials to permit a group to go through the Tarrant county jail in search of the prisoner. Word that the party, was en route here was received late last night by local officials, and preparations were made to forestall any possible trouble. According to officers, it would be virtually impossible for a prisoner to be taken from the local jail, as the structure is an especially strong one. Police Report Confession Bunn was arrested at Fort Worth Wednesday, and, according to police, confessed that he was the man who robbed members of the house party and escaped with approximately $1,500 worth of jewelry after having attempted to mistreat a girl whom he had used as a shield in getting away from the house. According to members of the house party, the robber compelled guests to tie one another with rags and prodded, kicked and otherwise abused them as he forced them to comply with his demand that they hand over their valables.

TULSA, Okla., Oct. 15.—Dick Rowland, the attempt to lynch whom precipitated the bloodiest conflict in the history of American race friction, has been freed of all charges and released from prison. Attempts to take Rowland from the county jail here on June 1 last met with unexpected resistance, and failure on the part of the lynch-bent mob ended in a race riot of two days' duration. In the conflict over one hundred lives were lost and $2,000,000 worth of property was destroyed. Charged with Assault. A report has been spread through the city that Rowland had been arrested and charged with assault by Sarah Page, a white elevator girl in an office building. It was later learned that this report was false, and that the girl had made no such accusation. Shortly following the riot Sarah Page made a statement that Rowland was entirely innocent of any wrongdoing. She disappeared immediately, and has not been seen since. Trying Other Cases. Criminal charges of rioting against J. H. Smitherman, editor; M. S. Weaver, Moses Fitzgerald, Eugene Wharton, Andrew Brown, A. B. Taylor and William Dixon came before the court last week. Charges against Dixon were dismissed. Others asked a change of venue.

Bryant was shot when he, with his daughter, Miss Estelle Bryant, went to Clark's home for the purpose of setting a quarrel existing between Clark and the Bryant girl. Clark has been accused of beating the girl brutally. When Clark was called to the door he fired one bullet, striking Bryant in the stomach.

"Shoot first and investigate afterwards" is the advice Judge W. W. Walling of the Thirty-seventh District Court, in regard to action to be taken in case the Ku Klux visits the city. Homicide is justifiable, he says, when the party slain in disguise is engaged in any attempt, by word, action or sign, to alarm any other person. DROWNED BOY CUTS OFF CITY'S WATER SUPPLY LYNCHBURG, Va., Oct. 15.—This city went without water for several hours last week while College Hill Reservoir was being drained for the purpose of recovering the dead body of Perry Trent, five years of age, who was drowned when he plunged into the reservoir to recover a tennis ball. The city's water supply comes from the reservoir, and in order to recover his body it was necessary to drain it. Read, Think and Act EIGHT PAGES TO D Orleans R-IN-LAW BRING BODY HERE FOR FINAL CEREMONIES Mack McKenzie Roane, the organizer of the great court Gen. Robt. Eliott, Ancient Order of Foresters, and the founder of Lady Elliott Rorestic Auxillaries, passed away Thursday, October 6th, at his former home in Louisiana. His remains were shipped to Chicago, arriving Sunday morning, October 9th. "Daddy Roane," as he was affectionately called by all Foresters, was a unique character. He was quiet and unassuming, yet the possessor of one of the greatest minds in America. When the Order of Foresters was hinging on the question of retaining the Negro as members, or letting the principles die under the weight of southern prejudice, "Daddy Roane" put the question up to the High Court of the World, which is in England. True to their doctrine, he ruled that if the white members could not accept the doctrine of Robin Hood, the founder, which was the equality of man, then they could secede, which they did, and started what was called the Independent Order of Foresters, which met a sudden and violent death a few years later. This decision of the High Court in favor of Negroes meant the loss of 28,000 white members. But Roane, through his wonderful organizing ability, soon demonstrated that they made no mistake, for he organized the largest, richest and most progressive branch in the jurisdiction, namely, Court Gen. Robt. Elliott. His remains will lie in state at the Foresters' Hall, 44th and State streets, from Saturday at 2 P. M. until Sunday. Forestric service will be held in the main hall at 1:30 P. M., after the body will be escorted to the funeral home. Mugshot tober 17th, at 11 A. M. The body will be taken to St. Thomas Episcopal Church for the final church rites, thence to Oakwood. ADMITS CRUSHING WIFE'S HEAD WITH STONE PITTSBURG, Pa., Oct. 15—Jesse Asherroft, of Clairton, near here, is on trial for the slaying of his wife, Mrs. Lula Asherroft. Asherroft has confessed the killing, saying he committed the act through jealousy. There were no eye witnesses to the killing, and the commonwealth's case is based almost entirely upon the confession. Asherroft said that while walking along a lonely road between Duquesne and Dravosburg he picked up a stone and crushed his wife's head with it, after which he dragged her body to an embankment and cast it over. He is said to have become enraged when he came home from work to find his wife away, and later saw her with another man. Made Treasurer. SOUTH BEND, Ind., Oct. 15.—The Rev. Benjamin F. Gordon, pastor of the Broadway Evangelical Church, has been elected secretary-treasurer of the Ministerial Association of this city. Rev. Gordon is a graduate of Fisk and Chicago universities. He is the first man of his race to be elected to this office. EATH CROWD SCREAMS "LYNCH HIM" IN OPEN COURT Invaded West Side Man's Home, Took His Wife, Killed And Tortured His Children. Visions of Southern justice arose in the Desplaines street police court Friday, when Roy Butler, 23 years of age, 2241 Fulton street, was booked on charges of murder and attempt to murder. As he was held for the killing of a 7-year-old white boy, a woman in the audience screamed, "Lynch himi Lynch him!" The echo was taken up by the crowd in the court room, and resounded through the corridors. A cordon of policemen was quickly thrown around the man, and he was hurried to the county jail, where he is now held. Tortured Victim with Hot Water. Butler's crime is said to include the pouring of boiling water over the bare legs of 7-year-old Harvey Coleman, who is in the county hospital in a critical condition, and with having beat and tortured Harold Coleman, two and one-half years of age, to such an extent that the child died July 18, 1918. Drove Father from Home. Prior to that time, it is alleged Butler drove Harvey Coleman, Sr. (white), from the home, and with Mrs. Coleman, also white, took full possession of the family belongings. He is supposed to have lived there since with her. Mrs. Coleman, mother of the victims, and Ray Gibbons (white), 5151 North Hermitage avenue, are also held as accessories. It is said that Mrs. Coleman stood by and watched her lover torture her children. Butler's favorite pastime, it is said, was taking the boys out into the barn, hanging them by their toes, and prodding them with needles. TRIED TO JIM CROWA.M.E. MINISTERS RETURNING FROM EUROPE BALTIMORE, Oct. 15—Bishop and Mrs. John Hurst have just returned from England, France and Belgium, where he, with other A. M. E. ministers attended a joint conference of Methodist churches. Bishop Hurst gives an interesting account of attempts to jim-crow the party returning on the White Star liner "Adriatic." The chief steward, he says, attempted to segregate all members of the carty in one corner of the dining room. This attempt was overruled, he says, by the captain of the ship. GarveySaysDuBois Represented U.N. I.A.In Europe NEW YORK CITY, Oct. 15. Marcus Garvey said among many other things in a most interesting speech to an immense audience of over six thousand at Liberty Hall, 120 West 138th Street, New York City, Sunday night last, that Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, though presumably has journeyed to Europe to hold a Pan-African Congress has virtually and practically journeyed there as a representative of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, wherein a considerable of his time and that of the Congress was consumed and devoted to explanations of his non-connections with Garvey or the Garvey movement. Garvey said: "DuBois has unwittingly done more good and has given more publicity to the Universal Negro Improvement Association than we could have had at a considerable expense of time and money." Mr. Garvey then quoted the Leading White Daily Press of England and Paris from which he had recent clippings, giving wide publicity to the Universal Negro Improvement Association, pro and con. BANDITS ROB BANK RUNNER OF $100,000 ST. LOUIS, Mo., Oct. 12.—Robert Hardiman, messenger for the Grand Avenue Bank, was held up by two armed bandits on an eastbound Olive street car, near Twentieth street, Monday, and robbed of a satchel containing $17,650 in cash, $83,922.85 in checks and drafts, and $400 worth of government coupons. The men stood off the other occupants of the car at the point of revolvers and escaped in a Ford sedan which a confederate had kept in readiness. The robbery was the second spectacular hold-up of a bank messenger within a month, and the third daylight robbery effected in the last seven months. On September 14 similar methods were employed in robbing a runner for the North St. Louis Trust Company of $14,000. Before this, Eris Pillow, another messenger for the same bank, was held up, and later killed to stop his testimony. Offered No Resistance. The robbers began their work in the partly filled street car by walking up to Hardiman's seat and jamming their pistols against his ribs. They then ordered him to hand them the small bag which he had placed between his feet. Although armed with a loaded pistol, Hardiman had no chance to make resistance, and he complied with their demands. The two men escaped in the auto after forcing the conductor of the car to open the doors and let them out. The machine had been stolen by them from Dominie Kunette of 1404 North Nineteenth street, a short time before Hardiman also left the car at Twentieth street, stopping to phone George W. Clarkson, president of the bank, and then going with a patrolman to police headquarters. According to his story related to detectives, Hardiman has been employed by the Grand Avenue Bank for ten years. Yesterday morning he left at the usual hour for his trip to the National Bank of Commerce and "Tailor of the Day." He was unguarded. It had been his custom to make three such trips each day. Sb Surprised, He Says. He explained that he always planned to sit well toward the front of the car and on this occasion took the fourth seat back of the motorman on the south side. At Twentieth street he was held up by the bandits. He was so surprised, he said, that he handed them the grip containing the money without remonstrance. Hardiman's story was corroborated by Harry Fischer, 522 North Vandeventer avenue, and D. R. McGibbooney, 3733 Lacede avenue, who were passengers on the car. Both men said that they witnessed the holdup and saw the robbers ride away in the automobile. President Clarkson announced that the loss in negotiable papers would be negligible, as payment would be stopped. Hardiman is 42 years old and lives at 3014A Garrison court. BARBER HOLDS RECORD OF 60,000 SHAVES KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 15.—While Babe Ruth holds the world's record for slamming out fifty-nine home runs in one season and "Billy" Sunday has established a record almost unbelievable in making folks hit the sawdust trail, and John D. Rockefeller has a record as an oil magnate in making millions, a Knoxville barber in the personage of Madison Simms has perhaps established a world's record in shaving more than 60,000 people at the same stand in the same barber shop during the past 21 years. Simms is one of the veteran barbers of the city, and is employed at the shop that for more than two score years has been in the same location Charles Chandler, proprietor of the shop, and also one of the oldest barbers of the city, announced Thursday that the shop would be moved to its new location early in October, and in telling of the change, he said: "I guess Uncle Madison will hate to move from the shop that has been his home for 21 years. We have been leased out and have to sunt a new home." Simms is very popular with his customers, many of whom he has known since childhood." LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Oct. 15.—The State Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Immaculates will convene in its thirteenth annual session in this city, October 25, 26 and 27. All Grand Masters and their staff of officers and M. B. Q.'s are expected to attend. Washington Paper Gets K. K. K. Letter. WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.—The Washington Tribune, of this city, has received a mysterious letter purporting to come from the Ku Klux Klan. The body of the letter was written in unintelligible characters, and as yet no one has been able to decipher it. A reward has been offered for a translation. Dr. AL JOHNSON'S DIA MOND RING DISAPPEARS IN DREAMLAND For several years Dr. Al Johnson, well known dentist in the Johnson Building, 3518 State St., has taken the precaution to leave his $1000 diamond ring with "Sheriff" Simpson when he went home at night. Simpson is the door keeper at the Dreamland Cafe. Each morning the doctor would get it on his return to his office. It was proved last week, however, that diamond robberies may occur in a brilliantly lighted cafe as well as in a dark side street. Ed Brown, night watchman at the Dreamland saw and admired the glistening stone on "Sheriff's" hand. He asked to see it. Simpson obliged Brown by taking it from his finger and showing it to him. From that moment to this whereaouts of the diamond have been shrouded in mystery. It disappeared as completely as smoke in the wind. Brown claims he gave it back to "Sheriff. This "Sheriff" strenuously denies. At any rate, the ring is gone. October 20 is the date set for the airing in the police court of the mystery of the disappearing diamond. U. N. I. A. News A great parade of the Black Cross Nurses, Universal African Legions, Juveniles and Band of the U. N. I. A was held Wednesday evening. They marched from the Institutional Church to Prairie Avenue—then to 32nd and Wabash and back on State to the church, where an interesting lecture was delivered by Captain E. L. Gaines, Minister of the U. A. L.; his subject: "Magda or Where Is the Ark of the Covenant?" The President of the Division, W. A. Wallace, with his staff of officers rode at the head of the parade, whilst Captain Gaines, like the soldier he looked, marched at the head of the legions, with steady tread and martial mein. Sunday a mighty gathering assembled at 3:30 at Pilgrim Rest Church 37th and Indiana Avenue, where short addresses were delivered by the President, W. A. Wallace; Atty. Eugene Marshall, Atty. S. A. T. Watkins and concluding by a masterly talk by Captain E. L. Gaines.

Cook, Director in charge, preached the first anniversary sermon from the text: "The Lord hath done great things, whereof we are glad," which was well delivered, received and enjoyed by all who heard him. The music was up to the standard as usual the Metropolitan Choir of two hundred voices, conducted by Prof. J. Wesley Jones. After the sermon H. A. Watkins Treasurer of the Metropolitan Community Center and The Peoples Church, made a financial statement and report of the work accomplished during the past year showing that $32,113.22 has been raised by the Trustees' Department during the year ending October 1st, 1921; $7,000 has been raised by the Stewards' Department of the Church, and $300 by he Metropolitan Choir which has been spent for music, robes and paraphernalia and also the vast amount they have turned in on the building fund, which makes the grand total of $42,113.22 raised during the official year under the leadership and direction of Dr. W.

You see people on the streets every day, hobbling painfully along. They tell you they are suffering from rheumatism. The crippling pain in their ankles and joints is rheumatism—caused by an acid poison in their blood. Any disease caused by tainted or poisoned blood will cause great suffering, cripple, disfigure and sometimes result in death. The disease should be treated by a reliable doctor or a medicinal preparation used, the merit of which is known. A well-known Southern Doctor spent years treating diseases caused by poisoned or tainted blood, such as rheumatism, lame back, aching bones, itching skin diseases, chronic ulcerous sores, and so on. His prescription relieved many thousands, made them happy—this same prescription should help you. This same treatment can now be bought, ready prepared, under the name Flough's Prescription C-2223—large bottles $1.00; trial size 50c. You must take Plough's 2223 Liver Pills to help throw off the poisons. These pills are also fine for biliousness and the ills caused by constipation. Cost you only 25c a box.

"Now is the time to telegraph your representative in Congress," says Mr. Johnson's statement. "Telegraph at once urging immediate and favorable action on the anti-lynching bill introduced by Representative Leonidas C. Dyer of Missouri. Never before has the opportunity been so favorable to stamp out America's most hideous form of crime. "The present session of Congress will be a short one. Our time is therefore short to accomplish the passage of this measure. Congress will act if our representatives know the people want action. The way to let them know is to telegraph and to write, keeping a constant stream of communications pouring into Washington from every part of the United States. "It is now or never so far as the Dyer bill is concerned. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has made horticultural efforts to organize sentiment in favor of the bill. Representative Dyer is confident of its chances of passage. But it is now up to colored America if it is really willing to antilynching law they can have it. The way to have it is to tell your representatives that you want it." "Strike now, for the Dyer federal anti-lynching bill. Telegraph Writer. The time is short. The opportunity is a great one. We can grasp it if we act together, ten million strong." JAMES WELDON JOHNSON. (Signed) Gets Death Penalty LAKE CHARLES, La., Oct. 15.

Burgess, of Savannah, employed by the Atlantic Coast Line Railway, probably has the largest family in Georgia. He is the father of 32 children and has had three wives. Twenty-six of these children are living. When a newspaper reporter went to see Burgess and his numerous offspring, he found them all living happily and contented in the suburbs. He has been blessed with seven sets of twins and two sets of triplets. The oldest son is 45 and the other members of the family are married, giving Burgess immunerable grandchildren. When the last set of twins were born Burgess and his wife had run out of names for them and they grew up nameless, finally selecting their own names when they entered public school. Burgess skied at selecting names when he found that among his progeny he had been "doubling up," having two "Willies" and two "Sallies" in the flock. Washington Back Mr. Jas.

No extra charge 3336 Indiana Ave., Chicago DUKE PUT ON CITY'S ZONING COMMISSION There is nothing which has happened recently in the history of China There is nothpened recently in cage which is of so much importance to the welfare and happiness of colored people than the appointment of the Mayor's Zoning Commission and we are fortunate to have as a member of this distinguished body, Mr. Charles S. Duke. Mr. Duke is one of the few of our race to be successful as a Charles Duke. scientist. He has been a civil engineer for fifteen years, having received his training as such from three great schools—Phillips Exeter Academy Harvard College and the University of Wisconsin. Immediately after receiving his degree from Harvard, Mr Duke went to McGee, Arkansas, as an engineer for the Missouri Pacific Railroad where, in spite of the surprise and hostility of these southern people, he finished his assignment and came away with his life. Since then he has held many responsible positions as an engineer which demonstrates the fact that a colored man can succeed in this difficult profession provided he loves the work well enough to sacrifice for it. He has had professional connection as an engineer with the following corporation: The Missouri Pacific Railroad; the Pennsylvania Railroad; the Chicago W. Jackson, Inc.; the Commonwealth Edison Company; the Engineering Bureau, City of Chicago; Engineering staff, Local Transportation Commission, and at present, member of the Engineering Staff of the Chicago Sanitary District. Mr. Duke's work with Geo. W. Jackson, Inc., was very important for with them it was his privilege to act as their sole representative and give expert testimony during the great investigation of the Southwest Land and Lake Tunnel, a $2,000,000 project and part of the water supply system of Chicago. As a result of this investigation and his connection with it, Mr Duke went to the University of Wisconsin where he conducted certain experiments having to do with the relation between the compressive strength and the speed of boring concrete. The result of these tests were published and attracted wide notice and comment. He received his Master's degree of C. E. from this University in 1913. His activities in the interest of his race have been varied for several years, he was a member of the Board of Directors of the Local Branch of the N. A. A. C. P., was a member of the Advisory Board of the South Side Soldiers' and Sailors' Club, is now Treasurer of the Pyramid Building and Loan Association and Chairman of the Civics Committee of the Apomattox Club which is doing excellent work in advancing the civic interest of the community. A year or two ago, Mr. Duke demonstrated his interest in the housing conditions of his race by publishing a pamphlet on this subject which was favorably commented upon by both the colored and the white press. Zoning Commissions have been appointed in most of our largest cities and have a most important bearing especially upon the living conditions of the people. Therefore, it is the intention of Mr. Duke to keep colored citizens well informed as to the progress of the work of this Commission through the medium of the press and public meeting. The public district is determined it will be the practice of the Commission to hold public hearings at which citizens may voice their sentiments in regard to any proposed manner of districting.

Ellis The Alpha Delta Club reminds you that FRIDAY a week, evening, at the Eighth Armory, is the BIG DAY for Clubs. They expect your entire club to be present as their guest at the dance. Address Mr. Alfred Williams, at 519 East 34th place. Say, enroll your club. The Young People's Society of M. C. C. gave the best program of the day Sunday afternoon, 6 P. M. Miss Priscilla Knight and a number of artists delighted the big audience in the music room. The Young People's Lyceum of Institutional Church, Mr. Samuel McAlpine, president, presented "The Boy Orator" (Chas. Satchel Michel) at 3 P. M., Sunday. "The Negro's Golden Moments" was his theme. The large audience was charmed by the oratory and logic of America's favorite. Miss Dorothy Taylor, child violinist, put over a striking feature. A duet by the Misses Pryor and Jones was good. The Armour Glee Club and Mr. Henry Ethridge, dramatic tenor, went over the high mark. Compliments to Miss M. N. Lewis' choice. The Willing Workers and Strangers appear on October 27th at The Avenue in a matinee musical, Mrs. Ophelia Hudson, chairman. The Men's Community Forum, meeting at 3140 Indiana avenue on each Tuesday evening invite all young men to join them. Lawyer McKinney gave an interesting lecture at their last meeting. They expect a hundred new members next Tuesday evening. Come. The Grace Lyceum invites you to be present at its meeting, 5 o'clock sharp next Sunday. H. W. Barrett is scheduled to speak. Musical numbers are always excellent. (Send in more.) St. Mark's Lyceum pulled a grand opening on Sunday afternoon at 6 P. M. Mr. Chas, Satchel Morris made the principal address. The subject, "The Negro's Golden Moments," was not only well handled but likewise well delivered. Some believe this address equal to any ever delivered by the orator. He left to address a body in Gary. Ind., at 8:30 Sunday evening. Mr. Morris may be reached by addressing him, care of The Whip. Miss Lou D. Bond in repeated encounters delighted the audience. Miss Johnnabel Montgomery in piano solo was good. The new staff of officers—Miss Alberta Mason. president; Miss Ruth Allen, secretary—have made a good start. Reverend Robinson supports his Lyceum by his presence, just as does Dr. W. D. Cook. It pays. Next meeting of the Lyceum on October 23rd—50 and Wabash. The Girl Scouts, Troop 47, of the Center (Velma Lindsay, president) Jessie Bauster, treasurer; Francis McLain, secretary; Joella Baster, Ester Hinkle, Frances McLain, color bearers, with Cornelia Seele, captain) meet every Tuesday at 3:30 o'clock. Come and bring your girl friends from 10 to 18 years of age. 3140 Indiana avenue. Take it from US—the above is real classy. We know! The actor, Charles Gilpin, (star of "Emperor Jones") was delightfully entertained last Tuesday at the residence of Censor Alonzo J. Bowling, by the host and Mrs. Mayme E. Bowling Guests present were Mr. and Mrs David Bowen, Mr. Copeland of Copeland and Taylor Team (theatrical) and Miss Marguerite Clark, teacher Complimentary tributes were extended for his good work in fighting the K-K K pictures and tating the Birth of a Nation. The crisp talks made by the gentleman along this work was a feature. We were there a few moments and highly enjoyed the occasion. The Sunday Evening Club at Metropolitan Community Center celebrated their anniversary in appropriate program Sunday evening. The address by Mr. J. B. Stafford of Swift & Co. was "A Generous View of Life." The speaker was lucid in his exposition and pertinent in point of interest—good address. The gentleman who presented him (may the Lord teach him how) was a huge joke. We can never forget! "I say this—in order to say that," repeated ad libertum—with NOTHING in between! Finally, after ten minutes of random ad random he faded into his seat—the speaker arose. That's all we have against "Our Harvey" now. The Reading by Mr. Solomon Bruce (Italian dialect) was a knock out. But the thing that ended our perfect day was the vanishing notes of that sweet soprano singer who took the obligato in "Swing Low Sweet Chariot." We hate to call her name for fear you might want to hear her, too—jealous you know? Miss Eleanor M. Gaines did it! The Swift Glee Club put over one fair number—and well—the voices were all right—the piano, all right. BUT a team knows best the one who drives them most. Immediately afterward THE GREAT CHORAL KING (J W. J.) took his baton, placed his heart and mind upon his large choir and "knocked" 'em dead in chorus, A. Dr. Director is a director—that's all. Dr. W. D. Cook and H. A. Watkins are really putting over a program FOR ALL TIME. We could hear H. A. too, too. At the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Bowling (Rev. Alonzo Z.) the Club Daddy was delightfully entertained Sunday afternoon. The superb saxophone solo, encored with violin, by Mr. C. E. Neighbors, and the elocutionary number by Miss Marguerite Clark were well complimented by the soprano solo by Mrs. Mayme Elliott Bowling and the witty, ready impromptu speech of Mr. Bruce Alyne of Brooklyn. You should have heard the monologue of Mr. T. N. Manley. I know the "C. K." would like to hear that soprano solo, eh? We'll see. Reverend A. J. Bowling attended Sunday Evening Club at Wendell's and dismissed us. We often wondered why he was not there oftener. He is admittedly one of the most intelligent ministers in the city, an only colored moving picture censor and could be a factor in social work, strong. Wake up, Harvey—you are missing something. Don't pick up chaff when good wheat is present. Miss Pauline James Lee appeared at Wendell's Sunday afternoon, directing the Swift Glee Club. The Swift Glee would do well to hear the Armour Glee, the Umbrian and Finnie Harmonic—then do the needed thing. Listen: Let J. W. J, direct you a time or two, or try John A. Taylor or A. A. Brown. Even Samuel McAlpine could raise you up a bit. Miss Magnolia N. Lewis can land you solid! Some things can be done by some people better than by others. You are a good combination—you need a STRONG trainer. The Star Literary Society wants a good organizer. We suggest that Mrs Cooper (daughter of Reverend Dr. C. H. Clark) offered her services to the President. She is able and congenial. Mme. Patti Brown appeared at Institutional Sunday Evening in Song Fest. Well, it is enough said that "The Queen of Song" appeared. She always does the rest—the expectation. The Mozart Choral (we heard) was up to the high mark and the address by the Honorable Patrick O'Donnell was characteristic. We wonder why some one does not ask Reverend Henderson to make an especial talk along political, social or economical subjects? Say, we knew that minister in it is Rev. J. C. M. of Leader, or Rev. Bradley of Second Baptist Church, Detroit, they will tell you that Reverend Henderson is a Lawyer, a minister, an ORATOR par excellence. Say, Clubs: Consider Reverend J. Henderson. He is certainly in the high class with L. K. W., W. D. C., A. J. B. and just two other ministers in Chicago. One a new comer, too. Ipsilon Omega sends us a letter saying, "never have we spent such a delightful hour in conversation as last week in the presence of the "Club Daddy"." Thanks Girls—come again!—Ed. The Fourth Sunday is the Big Musical Evening for the Choir and Chorus under J. Wesley Jones to do their very best. This is a good time for the other choirs that near us and see what is going on in the musical world, to visit—and see. When they see, and hear, they may find out just how far they are behind. It is really marvelous. Just go and see. Astrometer Club—Opening meeting Friday, October 14, at 51 West 34th Street, 8:30 P. M.

GARTER OPENS DINING ROOM Mrs. Rita Carter, one of Chicago's best caterers, has responded to the insistent demand of her many friends to open dining rooms and has taken over the beautiful place formerly occupied by the Colonial Cafe, 257 East 35th street. Her wonderful home cooking which gave her such a reputation when at The Old Chateau some years ago, is again a reality for those who desire real food, cooked as no one but Mrs. Carter can cook. Breakfast is served from 7:30 to 10:30 in the morning and dinner begins at 7 o'clock in the evening. The dining rooms were recently decorated for the new cabaret and are still fresh, making the place one of the prettiest in the city. The moderate prices which prevailed when Mrs. Carter was at The Chateau still prevail offering a double inducement for old and new patrons.

Arnold Hill, Executive Secretary. PROGRESSIVE CO. CELEBRATES ANNIVERSARY The Progressive Company celebrated its second anniversary Thursday evening, October 6th, at South Park A. M. E. Church. Judge William Harrison spoke to a large and appreciative audience, his remarks being well received. Prof. S. L. Jones ably introduced Judge Harrison as the speaker of the evening. President C. H. Turner gave a short but thorough history of the company. Gen. Mgr. Jas. Washington evoked great laughter in his appeal. Mr. Washington has made a name for himself since he has been general manager, gaining a reputation for himself as a salesman and speaker. The Company has made great progress, and at the present has under construction two store buildings (temporary) to take care of the grocery department and offices of the Company on its lots at 3657 South State street. Dr. Bryant, the pastor of South Park Church, made the welcome address. Dr. Winters of St. Paul Church acted as Master of Ceremonies. Many stockholders were present in spite of the inclement weather. Among them were J. H. Malone G. H. Goodwin, Clark Ellis Chas. Campbell, Mrs. C. H. Turner, Mrs. Mahone, Mrs. J. H. Hall, and J. L. Baxter. The meeting proved a great success, a good amount of stock being sold and subscribed. Mr. Washington leaves this week on a tour of the State in behalf of the Company. The Company will hold reunion and inspection in its new home, Sunday, October 16th, at 3 P. M. The building is expected to be completed by October 15th through the efforts of the contractor, Mr. C. R. Lewis. Friends and stockholders are cordially invited to attend this reunion. THE CHURCHES Reverend Dr. Cook, Pastor one year ago, October 9th, we heralded to the world, in the pages of a contemporary weekly that Rev. W. D. Cook had broken, without malice, from the yoke of the stereotyped methodism. Sunday morning we were present to hear the anniversary sermon by the pastor and to survey the progress as outlined in clear, concise tones by the church treasurer, M. A. Watkins. The Sermon The text was from 126 and 107 Psalms; "The Lord has done great things for us whereof are we glad, etc." (read it). Extracts * * * "It is necessary for us who are doing business for God to take an occasional inventory to see how stands our business with our master. * * * We, one year ago, possessed no building within which to worship—no minister (for certain), no funds and no membership. * * * Now we have purchased a location for $12,000 paid all expenses up to date. We have raised a total of over $40,000. We have nearly Ten Thousand dollars balance. We have a new church building located and expect to enter same before November 30th—still retaining the lot. * * * God has done this—let no man say: 'Cook, nor himself, should be given the credit.' * * I have never said one thing against the other churches nor against any one church. God said, 'Go forward—we went. * * * Only a few became faint and turned back.' Then with rhetorical effect the minister carried his audience over the trail which they had come, and closed the meeting in a high spiritual demonstration. Mr. Harvey A. Watkins Gives Figures Chas. A. Giffin suggested the name M. C. C. Dr. Bibb gave the idea of the lot. Dr. Giles, Deacon Steward and others worked hard upon the new idea of the center. J. Wesley Jones and Choir raised severa thlousand dollars. Trustees raised $32,113.00. Total invested $22,000.00. Cash in hand $8,062. All books are to be presented before the Chamber of Commerce on November 8th. Twenty-two hundred people present at sermon. The total members of Metropolitan Community Center about 6,000. Walter A. Ellis The Olivet Baptist Church Rev. L. K. Williams, D.D., Minister The services at Olivet were well attended last Sunday morning. All the home pastors were at their respective post with the exception of Rev. H. B. Hawkins, who was out of the city. In his absence the congregation up- stairs heard Rev. J. C. Carroll preach: "The Period of Despondency in the Life of the Apostle Paul." Rev. J. H. Branham preached to a large crowd in the overflow downstairs, and Dr. Williams electrified the vast thong in the main auditorium. In the evening the pastor preached the second in a series of sermons, subject: "Some Things That Tend to Destroy the Institution of Marriage." He gave as a deterring influence on marriage such things as gossip, lack of time and affection on the part of the husband, lack of confidence in each other and a failure on the part of both husband and wife to pray and trust God in times of trouble and differences. Next Sunday night the pastor will preach on: "The Greatest Need of the Age." All are welcome. Berean Choir Musical Berean Choir Musician Last Sunday evening, October 9th, at 8 P. M., the Berean Choir rendered their initial program of the season, at the Berean Baptist Church, $2nd and Dearborn Streets. It was an artistic treat from start to finish in the city of Chicago. The Address of Dr. William B. Buchanan, the speaker of the evening, was one of the most forceful ever delivered under the auspices of Berean Choir. His theme: "The Strength and Weakness of the U. S. A" was well defined in its varied phases. He was logical and timely, and his eloquence, wit and humor brought forth much applause from the large crowd that was in attendance. The Soloists were Miss Dorothy Codozoe, Mr. Walter Allen and Mr. David Mitchell. All were forced to respond with encores. Condozoe's clear soprano voice, delighted the audience. Mr. Walter Allen's wonderful baritone voice thrilled his bearers and he was the recipient of much applause as was Mr. David Mitchell when he rendered the beautiful Solo "O Master Take Us Through the Gate." The Berean Quartette., Mr. Weathers. Mrs. Walton, Mr. Meyers and Mr. Yarbrough rendered "Sweet Moments," by Dressler, and were enthu A Rare Opportunity for Investment ARE YOU DOING YOUR SHARE?

Sunday October 9th, the pastor preached a remarkable sermon to a large congregation in the morning and lectured in the afternoon on that famous subject that won him much fame in Los Angeles, Cal., "Fleas, Flies, and Folks." His far reaching remarks were very timely and highly commendable. Presiding Bishop R. A. Carter, D. D., preached in the evening. A large audience greeted him. In matchless words of explanation he discussed the subject of "Love." His sermon was very spiritual and full of inspiration. Revs. C. M. Hawkins, E. V. Wade and Joseph Johnson and Miss J.

This group realizes the seriousness of the situation; that in spite of the various exposes of the Ku Klux Klan, its activities and malicious influence will continue to spread, for it is the systematic propaganda iof on organized body. There is but one way to meet organized aggression, and that is by equally strong organization. Every Negro in Chicago is urged to attend church Sunday, October 16th, and become connected with this movement.

Giles Post of the American Legion passed the following resolution condemning the Ku Klux Klan: "Whereas, The attention of the George L. Giles Post Number 87 of the American Legion, Department of Illinois, has lately been called to the works, doings and practices of an organization styled as the 'Ku Klux Klan'; and "Whereas, Judging from the numerous masked parades and night riding episodes that have recently occurred in certain sections of our country in which members of the Ku Klux Klan have openly and notoriously tarred and feathered and even lynched individuals and thus deprived of life and liberty without due process of law, the Ku Klux Klan's mission is one whose object is to promote the selfish interests and desires of a few narrow-minded persons at the expense of all others; and "Whereas, The doing of such acts of violence—meteaching punishment and torture to persons without regard to law—amounts to a usurpation of the judicial branch of our government and is the evidence of a so-called 'Invisible Government,' whose realm of activities is over and above our present constituted law-enforcing authorities and whose targets for the expression of its opposition, enmity, and violence are Catholics, Jews, and Negroes, and thus directly antagonistic to a large group of patriotic American citizens; and "Whereas, Such an 'Invisible Government,' with such a program of action and such a field of operation, which in itself connotes social and class distinction, is subversive of the principles of liberty and democracy upon which the very foundation of our government rests; and "Whereas, The American Legion is an organization founded not to usurp the powers of our government, but rather to uphold the Constitution and to oppose all institutions, organizations and movements that have as their object the usurpation of the powers of our government and the exercising of might to the exclusion of right and the engendering of class and racial hatred and prejudices; therefore, be it "Resolved, That the State Convention of the American Legion, Department of Illinois, convening at Decatur, Illinois, October 10-11, 1921, go on record as being opposed to the Ku Klux Klan organization and as condemning and holding up to public ridicule each and every act of violence and lawlessness perpetrated by the said Klan; and be it further "Resolved, That the duly elected officers of the Illinois State Department of the American Legion be instructed to use all the power of their respective offices to bring the Congress of the United States to the realization of the constitutional congressional investigation into the affairs and records of the Ku Klux Klan." HOWARD SCHOOL OF LAW RAISES STANDARD WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 15.—The Howard University Law School began its first year under Dean Mason N. Richardson, who was elected last spring upon the designation of the late Dean Benjamin F. Leighton, with the formal opening Saturday night. October 1, at which time the enrollment was made of the enlarged gram of instruction and the raising of standards looking to the placing of the Howard University Law School in rank with the great law colleges of America. At the opening, Dr. I. Stanley Durkee, President of the University, addressed the body of students and the large number of Alumni of the Law School upon the subject of "Life and Law." "Work-Immortality Rather Than Self-Immortality" was the idiom of life which he urged upon the students. He impressed upon them the possibilities of life manifesting its greatness through work consummated under the benign influence of law. Prof. Andrew Wilson, who presided in the place of Dean Richardson, who was absent due to illness, announced the enlarged program that would mark the work of the new school year. He invited attention to the additions to the faculty, the recasting of the curriculum along lines approved by the Association of American Law Schools, and made special reference to the reorganization of the Moot Court in which the work this year will be more important than it has ever been. Following the announcements by the acting Dean, the professors who were present offered in turn a brief word as to their special subjects. A feature thoroughly enjoyed was the rendition of two violin solos by Miss Clementine Hart, daughter of Prof. W. H. H. Hart of the faculty. Many improvements have been made in the Law School, both in the raising of the standards of the school and of the physical structure of the building. The raising of the academic standards for admission calls for an accurate system of checking up the claims of applicants and of keeping their records after they have been allowed to register. No applicant can enter the School of Law now unless he can show a transcript of four years of accredited secondary work or its equivalent as measured in Carnegie units. In 1924, the requirement will be two years of standard collegiate training. CLUB MEMBERS SET CLEVER TRAP FOR RAIDERS Members of the Gloomkillers' Club, 478 E. 311s St., decided that they were weary of having their games broken into by raiding policemen. At least, that is the statement made by one of the members of the club. Accordingly they set a trap for the next unsuspecting policeman. At the entrance of the door to the gaming room a trap door was put in the floor. This trap door was provided with a spring. When Policeman John Joyce, white, of the Cottage Grove station entered the building October 8, he stepped on the trap. It fell from under him, and he was dashed into the basement below. When he had succeeded in freeing himself, the gamblers were gone. He suffered a sprained ankle and several lascarations about the legs. NEW THIRD WARD CLUB ENDORSES MADDEN The new Third Ward Republican Club at its regular meeting Monday night unanimously passed the following resolution introduced by Alderman R. R. Jackson: WHEREAS, it is customary for the Third Ward Regular Republican Organization to espouse by endorsement, action and unrest support, a candidate for Congress, representing the 1st Congressional District. and WHEREAS, Congressman Madden has by his intelligence, diplomacy and intimate knowledge of state, municipal and National affairs, reflected the highest degree of credit upon this Organization and rendered a stewardship for which no apologies have to be made, and WHEREAS, his vigorous support of all matters arising in Congress which reflected the policies and principles of the Republican Party, has in the highest degree voiced the wishes of his constituents, and WHEREAS, his entire private and public life has been one of loyalty devotion to duty and for the uplift of suffering humanity, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED, that the regular Third Ward Republican Organization in meeting assembled do hereby endorse Congressman Martin B. Madison for nomination in 1922, to himself, and pledge its unqualified support by all honorable means to insure his renomination and election. New Orleans, La.

It has now a memb ership of 2000, of whom 1200 are prominent graduate and honorary members and 800 under-graduate members.

Nosey was trying to sell some stock and approached an open door in "The Near Love Flats." When he poked his long head in the door, his nostrils were greeted with a delicate perfume and he saw at least ten ladies clad in the silken negligee raiment of the far East. Before them stood a gentleman well known along the stroll. He was giving the group a lecture in a language that shocked Nosey's ears. It must be the method of eastern cults to so abuse his harem because the ladies took it all meekly each coming up to the master at the end of his lecture and kissing him on the right cheek before he departed. That lecture would make good reading but Nosey does not know how to write the language spoken by the dusky giant, but has learned his "system," and now does not think Solomon with his 500 wives was so wise after all. --- ON a street car come all forms of beggars who poke their printed cards into your hand as they walk to the front of the car. They return collecting their cards and what change you have for them. Nosey read one of these cards, given out by a poorly dressed young woman with pale face and weary eyes. She wanted funds to go to a tuberculosis sanitarium. Nosey like others, gave her his coin. She thanked her and got off the car. Nosey followed her and while standing on the platform waiting for the car to stop he heard two conductors tell how much money this little lady collects to get her "snow." Nosey winched when he knew that his coin had helped a "snow bird" to get her dope and resolved again to give his money to known charitable agencies rather than to the individual beggar—no matter how pitiful they appear. SOME people seem to think that they can get away with murder, but they always make one fatal mistake and that fatal mistake is getting too sure of their ground. Nosey was doing the midnight cabarets the other night and at his last stop he saw a commotion in the corner of the joy palace. The husband had tried to put up a smoke screen between himself and company and his wife and company, but it would not work. She siezed him and bore him out of the cabaret leaving the husband's astonished company to wonder what it all was about. Wife accused husband. Husband accused wife. They entered a taxi together to go home together for the first time in months. Cabarets do some good anyway. They might bring husbands and wives and their respective company together. They do not advertise this fact but it can be done. --- EVERYBODY is straining their eyes for the ladies who wear knickerbockers. The gentlemen who clutter up the street corners looking to see what they can see and making it difficult for people to pass have waited patiently every day for the ladies to pass. Nosey heard one of these ladies ask a gentleman to walk State Street with her. He liked her and wanted to do it, but looked at her costume and shook his head. "No, I cannot do it. I joined the church Sunday and I do not know if I can walk with you while you have those pants on, because I heard the minister say something about them last Sunday." Apparently the ladies take on some of the men's responsibilities when they wear the pants. --- YOU must always look twice before you leap. Nosey saw a man approach a modishly clad lady from the rear. His face was all expectancy. With uplifted hat and smiling face he came to her side. He looked at her face from which all youth had passed long ago. When the gentleman saw old age peeking through the powder and paint he wheeled around, put his hat back upon his sleek hair and hurried in pursuit of another girlish figure down the street. Nosey smiled as he saw this would-be "masher" pass the lady turn and come upon her face to face. They all look good from the rear. Look upon them face to face and be sure. No Matter What You Want To Know CALL "THE WHIP" Victory 4606 And Ask For Information Desk Any Information Cheerfully Given. By Violette N. Anderson, Attorney-at-Law Dear Madame: I would like some advice—my husband left me two months ago. He pays me money every week through the court of Domestic Relations, but I want to get a divorce from him. If I start a divorce, can I still get the weekly money from him and make him pay for the divorce? D. PENGUAN Yes, if you have sufficient grounds for a divorce the weekly allowance will no doubt be continued by the divorce court judge and if your husband is here in Illinois he will have to pay the court costs. Dear Miss Anderson Fifteen years ago I got a divorce from my former husband. I remarried in Crown Point three months later. My divorced husband has since died—about a year ago. My present husband who is in another state is about to remarry. He says he is free to do as he likes and so am I. Will the present marriage have to be annulled here before he can marry again? Is our marriage not legal since my husband is now dead? If you were divorced on or after July I, 1905, or within one year before that, our marriage at Crown Point will be annulled and of no force or effect. There should be an annulment of the void marriage before either of you marry again. Your second marriage is not legalized by the death of your husband last year, because it occurred before his death and was void in the beginning. Dear Madame My wife is spending most of her time away from home, neglecting our young child and myself and her home. I have evidence to prove that she is guilty of wrong doing with another man and have told her so. It is so sure that she could not deny it. I want to get a divorce and take the child away from her. She says if I do not disgrace her by getting the divorce for adultery she will not make a fight for the child, if I will let her see it sometimes. Could I not get the child altogether, even if she did fight for it? If your proof is conclusive as to the adulterity, the court will award the child to you if you want it. Have you thought of what the charge against her will mean to the child in after years? After all she is its mother. Why not follow her plan if you get the custody and control. Mother love does not usually harm a child—then, too, she is a woman and has her way to make in the world—her conscience and the loss of punishment by a sultant punishment for her. Why disgrace her? All questions of a legal nature cheerfully answered. Address me, care of The Whip, 3420 South State Street. To The You Know 'Em Editor I know you know that "Silk Hat Harry" of State street fame, who bows to every woman that passes on the theory that they will all speak to him? Well, an inquisitive husband found out his wife had been speaking to him and proceeded to beat first the wife and then the "Silk Hat" one. Now he picks the ladies more carefully. I know you know the little restaurant waitress who got into rather serious difficulty out on Wabash avenue the other morning about two o'clock. Well, you won't have much trouble identifying her, as she wears now a beautiful black eye and has several scratches about her neck. Oh, you must know the gentleman who boasts about his "harem"? Well, some visitors from New York City broke into his "harem" the other night and carried off three of his fair ones to New York to enter a musical comedy. The gentleman now is trying to work the thing out with only one girl. It takes less watching, he says. Of course, you know that fat lady who has been wearing such short skirts recently? Well, a crowd of boys followed her for ten blocks the other afternoon when she was going home, and the kids made so much fuss about it that she is "wearing 'em shorter" now. I know you know the gentleman who has been wearing an eye that has been all draped in mourning? Oh, you must know him because he moves in the "best circles." Well, that black eye came from a fist and not from a fall, as he tells it. By the way, it was a woman's fist too. You must know the little drug clerk who says she has never had a beau in all of her life? Well, four men got into a fight about her the other night on the street, each claiming that he was the "big noise." You can never tell about these demure little maidens of sixteen years. I know you know that stout lady who got caught in the door of a street car on State street and put up such a howl and was insulted when some men (four of them) pushed her out? Well, she is trying some "Reduce Yourself" medicine now and seems convinced that she is not, as she says, "slim as a willow tree." I know you know the real estate man whose car broke down on the road to Gary the other night? Well, tell him to try another gag, as that is the fourth time that the car broke down in the same identical place in the last three weeks. These cars are certainly not human.

Some day I hope to meet and greet you before the great white throne. Where I know that God will keep you until He calls my spirit home.

A Story of a Man Girl, Horse and Dog—A man whose anger is wilder than that of a wolf. A Melodrama of the West. A play with an original plot. Staged in locations never before shown in pictures, with scenic beauties that will actually amaze you. It portrays the difficulties and heart-breaking obstacles of the lawless West and what happened to a man and a girl. A story of life in which love conquers hate and six-shooters. The romance of a man who was not afraid to risk death in the interest of peace and understanding. "JOURNEY'S END" At the Vendom Theatre, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, October 13-14-15. Fate had played into his hands. The crash of falling timbers was still heard as Donald Regan rushed to the side of the prostrate form pinned beneath the wreckage. Swiftly he knelt by the still form. There was a rapid exchange of papers from pocket to pocket and then, pulling his battered far far down over his eyes, he slunk away. Thus was the stage set for the strangest climax ever unfolded upon the screen—a climax that will hold you tense and engrossed by its sheer dramatic intensity. "LURING LIPS" At the State's Theatre, Sunday, October 16. The stirring story of how a beautiful woman's wits and wiles lured a man to destruction. Can a woman's love be bought for $50,000?

CHICAGO, ILL. 6 "SMOOTH AS SILK" When "Smooth as Silk," the offering of the Durhan players at the Grand Theatre all next week, was presented at the Lexington Theatre in New York, the cast included the names of such Broadway favorites in drama as Willard Mack, its author; Marie Chambers, Mr. Mack's leading woman; Luis Alberni, Shirley Warde and others. In no time at all, the melodrama had become one of the sensations of the metropolis. As soon as it was released for stock presentation, Manager Johnson took steps to arrange for its presentation in this city and thus he is enabled to see a play that is yet being discussed with interest in New York. The weakness of too many so-called 'crook-plays' is that they depend entirely on the fact that they portray an unfamiliar side of life for their attraction. "Smooth as Silk" skillfully avoids this danger. It gives the background of this life accurately, but it contains the human, gripping, heart interest that brings a tear to the eyes and a catch in the throat. It shows that, after all, these warrens of the world outside the law have hearts, hatreds and other emotions the same as the people who have the sense to live their lives so that the safety of society is preserved. Therefore, fascinating as the underworld side of the play is, and there is no denying that this is a fact, it is the intensely human love story of "Smooth As Silk," and its totally unexpected conclusion, that forms the great motif of the play. In the conception and execution of this wonderful idea, Willard Mack has written a play that will live for years. "Silk," "Taxi Jimmie," "Big Frank Powers" and all of the others are intensely interesting, but it is really the girl "Nellie" and her love story with "Silk" that forms the big, touching element of the play. Through it all, Mr. Mack has woven a persistent vein of the most delightful comedy imaginable, thus forming a perfectly balanced evening's entertainment.

" No. 2015, by on, whose Con- ses all others in ost loved song of --- MUSIC By Mildred Bryant-Jones The choice of suitable songs for various occasions is of the greatest importance. Hasty and unwise choice of song material often causes disorder and lack of enjoyment, when order, enjoyment and real benefit would be determined in the selection of the material. For use in sick rooms, it is necessary that songs of a charming character, with interesting text and an attractive melody be chosen. It does not follow that they must be sung in a rapid tempo or loudly, but there must be nothing in either word or tune that could possibly bring to their patient thoughts of a sad and depressing nature. For large groups of untrained voices, such as are found in the community work, it is well to choose songs with pleasing rhythms a flowing melody and a text that is interesting in thought and easy in work construction. To a great extent it is well to use past songs for such work. Trashy songs should, of course, be excluded entirely from all song study and attention given only to compositions that are well worth being retained in the memory. On Saturday morning, October 8th, at the request of Supt. Morteson of the Chicago Public Schools, the Wendell Phillips High School Orchestra of thirty-three pieces was presented by the writer in Fullerton Hall, at the Art Institute.

NEW YORK, Sept. 5th.—Attempting to stage a comeback Danny Bailey was knocked out by Pete Hays in the seventh round of what was to have been a ten-round bout at the Armory last Friday night. The house is full, and they are still pouring in. The press box is jammed. White of the Defender is looking for a pencil. He has one now and is asking for a cigar. Here come down the aisle Danny Bailey amid wild applause, and from the other side of the house Pete Hays makes appearance. They both climbed into the ring and are now having the gloves fitted. They are called to the center of the ring, and instructions are being given to the fighters. As soon as White lit the stogie along comes the Sergeant and tells him no smoking. But we are smoking right on. The fighters return to their corners, scrape their feet on the resin and are now out fighting for the first round. Hays is a white boy and is champion lightweight of the First Field hospital Corps. Bailey champion lightweight of the Fifteenth Regiment. Bailey is rushing Hays across the ring, planting both right and left about the face Hays is trying to fight back, but it looks as if the pace is set to fast for him. The first round is mostly a clinching affair, and they are locked at the bell. There is the minute of rest, and here comes the rushing Bailey again. Bailey is trying hard for the body. Hays sends in a stiff left to the face. Danny again plays for the body. They clinch. Hays gets home a strong uppercut to the wind which slowed up Danny a bit. Timing his punches Danny sends in a stiff Left to the face. Hays misses as Bailey sends another left to the face.

C., Oct. 15.—Howard inaugurated the 1921 football season Friday, October 7, at Lynchburg, Virginia, with an easy 19-0 victory over the Virginia Theological Seminary and College team. Coach Morrison did not make use of any of his football "tricks," but simply had his men use straight football which proved ample to overcome the plucky Virginians. Doneghy, half-back, a comparative newcomer, was the individual star of the game, making a thirty-yard run for a touchdown from kick formation. The team showed its strength over its opponents by marching about 80 yards, third-quarters to the Virginians, third-yard line in the third quarter. Good work was done by Captain Fuller, tackle, and Smith, guard, on the line. Payne also showed up well in the backfield. The past two weeks' intensive training has been partially fruitful in that Coach Morrison went to Lynchburg not only hopeful but confident that the "Blue and White" would achieve its first victory over the team of Coach "Buck" Hunt, a former Howard star. The recent cold snap seemed to have invigorated the men to such an extent that a stronger hold was taken on the positions and "teamwork" improved. The last former H man to report was Nurse of last year's squad, who enters the Medical School. JEWELL'S BEATEN BY BATESVILLE, 8 TO 0 BATESVILLE, Ind., Oct. 9.—Jewell's A. B.

POLLARD'S WORK PROCLAIMS HIM GREATEST BROKEN FIELD RUNNER IN HISTORY OF GAME If you have Fritz Pollard, the bronze idid of the gradron, in action against the great Chicago Cardinals you would have forgotten all about the prowess of Babe Ruth with his big stick and would have been loud in your praises of Fritz. If you have seen a whirling dervish, an enraged牛牛, a leaping greyhound and a speeding fox you have seen the great Fritz. He is a combination of them all. The Strong Akron team made Paddy Driskell and his Cardinals look foolish and Sunday, October 8, was a red letter day for Fritz Pollard, Akron's star. This dusky lad zig-zagged, side stepped and cork screwed his way to touch downs. He was over fifty per cent of the Akron team and scored over half of their scores. It was a splendid game, Bierce and Nesser of Akron shared honors with Pollard and the GIANTS HOLD NATIONALS EVEN ST. LOUIS, Mo., Oct. 10—The first two games here between the St. Louis Giants of the Negro National League and the Cardinals of the National League resulted in a win for each club. In the first game Drake, the crack colored hurler, went along in great style until the latter rounds of the game when the Cards got to him for three runs. In the second game, Oldham held the National Leaguers safe all the way, while his mates, Charleston in particular, batted out the victory.

C.'S INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Oct. 10—The All-Stars, including a considerable portion of the local American Association club, won the opening game of the annual post-season series with the A. B. C.s at Washington park, Sunday, 4 to 2. Petty besting Jeffries in a pitchers' duel largely because of better support. The game, lacking the rivalry of a championship contest, nevertheless was interesting, taking up only one hour and twenty-five minutes of the afternoon and bringing out some pretty bits of fielding now and then. However, it was lack of fielding that beat the A. B. C.s. The All-Stars went into the lead by two and the second inning on Burke's single, Neffel's second, Jeffries threw away, and Leo Dixon's double. Another brace of tallies came in the sixth without a bit. Sicking and Neffel walked and negotiated the double steal, both counting when Washington's throw on Dixon's grounder went wide of Taylor. Four runs to the rear, the A. B. C. touched Jess Petty for a run in the eighth on Day's infield hit, Jeffries' sacrifice and Washington's single, and the added another in the closing round of successive singles by Taylor and Hollo way and Powell's fly to "Reb" Russell Score: FOOTBALL NEWS FROM ALL THE COLLEGES OF LADIES' AND GENTS' GARMENTS RUGS, CARPETS AND DRAPERIES.

Akron won after a rough and tumble game to the tune of 23 to 0. Pollard a Wizard Pollard is a wizard and those who who have seen Coy, Thorpe, Mahan, Wendell, Stincomb and Harley can appreciate his genius. Faster than any of the above-named stars, a more shifty runner, past master at dodging and more alert on picking holes. Pollard is the greatest runner that the game has produced. He runs with his body at a slant and seems to run afoul the laws of gravitation his knees working with trip hammer precision make a tackle from the front impossible. This boy's work is uncanny and scribes agree that he is the greatest of all times. CARDINALS TAKE TWO FROM GIANTS ST. LOUIS, Mo., Oct. 10—The Cardinal Barnstormers took both ends of the double-header played with the St. Louis Giants at Sportsman's Park Sunday. The Barnstormers won the first game by a 12 to 3 score and captured the final contest 9 to 6. Stock's gang batted Oldham and Myers hard in the first game and scored six runs on seven consecutive hits in the second inning. Three more runs were added to the Cards' total in the fourth. The Giants were unable to score until the sixth inning when they scored once on two hits and two infield outs. A base on balls and two bats and two infield outs gave the Giants two runs in the ninth. The Cardinals made their total an even dozen by scoring three runs in the ninth. In the second game Pertica held the Giants scorches the seven rounds, but when he eased to a bit in the two final sessions his opponents chased six runs over the plate, three in each the eighth and ninth innings. The Giants were aided by loos e infield work on the part of the Cardinals. The Cards, on the other hand, started in early and scored four runs in the first inning on an equal number of hits and some weird field work. The Barnstormers scored a run in each the second, fourth and fifth innings and added the final two markers in the eighth. Drake, the Giant pitcher, was batted for a total of fourteen hits, but would have made a better showing had his support been less faulty. In the fourth inning of the second game Fournier was compelled to leave the game, having hurt himself in swinging at a ball while at bat. SALESMEN WANTED!! Sales men Wanted FOR SOMETHING. NEW.

BLUES, 7-3 Four Pitchers Are Used, but Heavy Hitting of the Monarchs Cinched the Victory—Antinue U. L. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 10.—What championship is involved in this series between the Blues and the Monarchs? Because whatever it is "Tham" Crawford's playmates have a leg on it. Tham, with his cannon balls and howitzers, mauled the unfortunate Blues Sunday afternoon at Association park. And they say he has his "Bullet Joe" to shoot in there today. There's nothing slow about these Monarchs. The sheckels from about forty-five hundred were realized by the contending athletes. The forty-five hundred found enough to yell about, anyway. Monarchs Bunched Hits—Antique The score was 7 to 5. Both teams knocked out nine safe blows apiece, but those of the duskier stars came in clusters where they would do the most damage. In fact at one time early in this contest the Blues were in as sad a plight as they have been all season. "Leffy" Baumgartner threw nothing that wasn't hit for some kind of an extra base hit. Later when he was relieved by Ames and the Blue batters found their orbs, a big portion of the crowd breathed easier. The Monarchs scored runs in the first inning. Carr opened by whiffing, but Warfield and McNair doubled to right and Lloyd tripled to left and Fagan beat an out hit to Cochran. They added three more in the second on Carr's single, a walk to Warfield and McNair's home run, a high fly in center, which Good didn't catch and which bounced over the picket fence. Errors by Leathers and Ames paved the way for the seventh run in the third, but from then on the Monarchs were content with goose eggs. The Blues picked up lone counters in each of the second and third and then drove Rile to cover in the fifth. That frame started with a walk to Blues for the Cochran's out, Brief doubled down the left field foul line and McNair played with the sphere long enough to allow both runners to score. Zwilling then hit one a mile high over the right field fence. That's about all. Currie came on and the scoring ended. The score: A.R. B.H.P.O.A.

HAVANA, Oct. 10.—It took Harry Wills, the Negro heavyweight, just one minute to knock out "Gunboat" Smith of Brooklyn at the Stadium here this afternoon before a crowd estimated at 12,000. In the clinches following the opening gong Wills punished his opponent with terrible blows over the kidneys and neck.

In the first game Saturday, "Tham" Crawford's club found the Blue pitching to its liking, but yesterday the boys were facing a different brand of hurling, and as a result finished on the short end of a 3 to 2 score. The Blues, too, found the throwing a trifle stifter, but managed to get three of their half dozen safeties when they counted for runs. Gus Bono and Joe Rogan were the opposing moundsmen. In eight of the nine innings they kept the runners away from home plate, each having just one round when scores were charged against them. Rogan's bad frame came in the sixth and Bono's in the ninth. In the home half of the sixth, Rogan generally called "Butler," was shooting blanks. At least it looked that way from the stands. For five innings Rogan had the Blue batteries striking out and hitting short flies for easy outs. But in the following stanza, Bill Good's exhibition athletes decided it was time to get some runs, and they did. Paskert started the fireworks with a ringing double to center field, his second 2-base hit of the game. Dode pulled up at third when Artie Butler sprinted his intended sacrifice bunt into a base hit. With Good at the plate, Duncan let a pitch get away from him and Paskert came home, Butler going to second. The next pitch was slammed into center by Good and Butler walked in with the second run. Brief's sacrifice put Goddie on third, and he completed the circuit a moment later when Rogan threw one into the dirt. Zwilling walked after Good scored, but the next two batters were easy outs, all of them had in that one inning and it proved enough to win. During the other innings they had few chances to get a run and were facing pitching as good as any they had drawn all season. Bono got into trouble for the first time in the eighth inning, but a pretty catch by Zwilling, with runners on second and third, ended a rally which threatened the Blue lead. In the ninth, however, Gus again saw his opponents staging another attack with their bats. McNair started the final frame with a double. Lloyd sprinted a tap to the infield into a hit and McNair went to third. Fagan then hit a long sacrifice飞 to Paskert and the first Monarch run came home. Lloyd went to second after the catch and scored when Leathers made a wild throw on Donaldson's grounder. Bono then decided things had gone far enough and fanned Rogan and Duncan for the final outs.

WITH DUE REGARD FOR RIGHT, WITH PURITY OF MOTIVE IN OUR EXPRESSION, WITH CONSCIENTIOUS COMPASSION FOR STRICKEN HUMANITY, WITH UNSTINTED CREDIT TO THOSE WHO MERIT, WITH TRUTH AS OUR GUIDE POST AND LOVE AS OUR INSPIRATION, WE HAVE COMMITTED OURSELVES TO THE WORLD OF JOURNALISM. WE HAVE DEDICATED OURSELVES TO PUBLIC SERVICE. What of the Minorities What of the Minorities From everywhere the cry of "get together" has been sounded; from nowhere has the cry been heeded. "Organize the black folk" has been the slogan and only pitiable, pathetic efforts have resulted. Strong and mighty spirits have leaped into the midst of the great confusion and have attempted to clear up the Babylonian disorders, but to no avail. The laws of civilization and evolution prevent success. The great majority of black people cannot be marshalled and intelligently controlled until the educated and enlightened minorities are organized and united. Organized minorities control the world, and organized minorities will control until the capitalistic system of government is overturned. The black people cannot escape this inexorable law. When men lived by "direct appropriation" and gathered their food from trees and streams and straight away conveyed it to their mouths the fathers of the families got together and formed their family groups. The "group spirit" began there and has seeped down the ages until the present day. Organized groups control the money of the world. A handful of millionaires hold all the wealth accumulated from the bowels of fertile America in the palms of their hands. A handful of commandeers control the armies and navies of the world. A handful of politicians make the presidents of republics and fashion the mandates for the people. A handful of policemen protect the teeming millions from the savage propensities of thieves and murderers. In the times of riot and rebellion organized hundreds hold thousands of bedraggled and disordered maniacs at bay. The organized minorities repel the brute instincts of mankind and give the human proclivities a chance to function. It is strikingly prominent and notoriously true that the black people have no organized minorities. The black people have entirely too many schools of thought and too many men who seek to mount the crest during the time of storm and disaster. The black people have not evolved far enough in the graduated scale of evolution to afford so many different sponsors of liberation and freedom, each of whom swearing and avowing that he is the great apostle and after him the deluge. Suppose Mr. Dubois, advocating higher education and social freedom, and Major Moton, advocating industrial education and passive submission, with Marcus Garvey preaching the redemption of Africa, and the creation of essential industries, could be merged together? Suppose our ecclesiastical heads of the Methodist and Baptist Churches could be cemented in a higher council with Dubois, Moton and Garvey? Perhaps let us call in the politicians of rank, which respect for manliness and good citizenship prevents us from naming, and let all of these gentlemen be organized upon a common platform for the salvation of the race. The foundation for racial solidarity would be lain, but as it is now we have no organization of leaders, no organized minorities who can direct the course of the floundering ship of the black sojourners as it tosses fitfully upon the seas of "outrageous fortune." We have no supreme inner-circle as the other great people have. We have no Lenines and Trotskys working together in perfect unison. We have no cabinets or sanctuaries in which to deliberate upon the issues of the day. We have one wing meeting in London, the ecumenical conference, another in Paris, the Pan-African Congress, and another in New York—the International Convention of Negroes. These scattered and unfocused efforts came at a time when the greatest attempt in the history of the world in secret organization and disaster was launched—the Ku Klux Klan. We need not advise the minorities to organize. External opposition from Caucasian sources will force them, and evolution, never changing in its course, will compel them. It does appear, however, that intelligence and sound thinking could accelerate it a bit and throw the minorities together. Golden Voiced Bunk Heavers Golden Voiced Bunk Heavers They pass on and they never come back—those golden voiced ignoramuses who used to spell bind the poor benighted black people. They used to moan and shout from the highways and the hedges, they told about "bleeding moons and blazing stars", they spoke of the beauties of the day and the wonders of the night. They murdered the English of the King and slaughtered the beautiful phraseology of religious authors. Time has cut them down and they have been slain upon the high places. They have passed on, those great limelighters who never had a real thought or a constructive idea. People now a days want to think. They want the truth. Great universities no longer praise and pamper the classics, the fundamental sciences of life are taught and the black people are seeking to learn. So the "orators" with high sounding phrases and very low thinking faculties have been relegated to the past and the memories left do not burn. THE CHICAGO WHIP HEALTH HINTS By Dr. Troy Smith (1) General hygiene is the greatest importance and the disease is especially noticeable in crowded tenement districts of large cities. (2) It may occur in breast fed babies whose mother's milk is deficient in fat and proteids. (3) The disease also seems to occur when the food is not properly adapted to the special age, and the later children of large families are more apt to contract the disease than the earlier ones. (4) Babies fed on excessive diet may develop rachitis; especially overeating carbohydrates. (5) Recent investigators have shown that the disease is due to lack of calcium salts, so, therefore, many rachitic children have shown great improvement by giving calcium salts. (6) It is certain, however, that interference with nutrition by improper food and lack of suitable hygienic surroundings play a prominent role in its production. The treatment of rachitis is essentially dietetic and hygienic. The infants should be kept in the open air as much as possible, and should live in room accessible to sunlight. The food should be adapted to the age, according to the rules given for feeding of normal infants during the first two years of life. Milk, cream, eggs, meats and cod liver oil should be freely given within the limits of child's digestion. Of the various drugs used phosphorus, thymus glands and suprarenal glands are beneficial. Orange juice is also helpful, especially if there is any tendency towards scurvy or pain. quarter and have entered not knowing how they are to ggt through. As Howard University is partly supported by the United States Government the raise in prices at this time is not only uncalled for, but most unfortunate. The high cost of education and board will retard the race at a crisis in its history and the high financeers at Howard University are blamed for the unrest and discontent on the hill in all the departments. The increased salaries of the president and certain other officials and an effort to put through a manual training course is blamed. There seems to be a wide-spread conspiracy to keep the Negro from getting a professional and university education. The big educational trusts are molding and directing education in the country, but they propose some kind for the white man and a different kind for the Negro. The Carnegie Foundation in a book on law as a public profession and upon medicine as a profession recommend that only graduate of accredited colleges be admitted to the study of law and medicine; only four colored colleges are accredited, so hundreds of the colored youth who can enter the study of these two professions now will be denied the right if the educational trust has its way. UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP Constructive Criticism of Men and Measures, In the Hope of Correcting Errors and Eoils. So much profit can be made out of the illegal manufacture and sale of liquor that stern competition has arisen between the "Bootleggers." It is indeed an infringement upon good citizenship to allow profit to be made out of the law. The Volstead Amendment is as big a joke as the thirteenth and fourteenth and it simply shows that the rule works both ways and the law of compensation is inevitable. The mandates of the Constitutions are not respected in America and the reason can be easily traced back to the race problem. The Ku Klux Klan recently invaded a church and declared themselves good Christians. If Christianity can be found in the "invisible empire" of the K. K. K., then Christianity has failed sadly. The regrettable feature is that the White ministry has been noncommittal upon this issue and seem to favor it, as they have all of the crimes of the southland. White Christianity has been perverted and twisted so much that it is scarcely distinguishable from heathenism. Since the Whip published the Committee of Five's revelation of conditions in Chicago's high society, several of our contemporaries have taken sly and easy jabs at the paper. Some have vehemently declared themselves against scandal peddling. One good Editor writes that when the atrocities of Stillman and Arbuckle were brought into court that then they should be exposed, but that he was opposed to exposing things which the public were unaware of; in other words, the good Editor is full of Spartan philosophy—you can do wrong but you mustn't get caught. The Chicago Whip has heard many whimper and whine when nothing had been even directed at them. A guilty conscience is a terrible thing and social remorse is one of the greatest of human punishments. Let our contemporaries continue to suppress the news and serve up rehashed trash and the public will make a decision which they will regret. Poor Old Roscoe Simmons, the forsaken and forgotten, is still tooting his rusty trumpet. It is hard for some men to know when they are through. If Roscoe would dream some more dreams about "his pillow of tears and the sleep of the black boy" he would be happier. He is still popular with those who enjoy a good joke. Roscoe is comical and cuts many clown-like capers upon the rostrum. Rachitis (Rickets) During this summer when mothers were taking their babies to the various hospitals and dispensaries, and babies were put on show at the various places during baby week, a Chicago baby specialist claimed that every Negro baby in the city of Chicago had rickets. Rachitis is a disease closely connected with poor nutrition occurring, usually, in infancy, rarely in early childhood. It is chronic in its places during baby week, a Chicago baby specialist claimed that every Negro baby in the city of Chicago had rickets. Rachitis is a disease closely connected with poor nutrition occurring, usually, in infancy, rarely in early childhood. It is chronic in its course, and al DR. TROY SMITH though its chief lesions are in the bones, it involves all the tissues and organs of the body. While I do not agree in total with this specialist's above statement concerning Negro babies in the city of Chicago, still there is considerable grounds for the assertion. It cannot be denied that Rachitis is more prevalent among Negroes and Italian babies than among the white Americans; also it is more common among the Negro population in Northern cities than it is among the Negro population in Southern cities. Just as to the "why" of the above assertions I do not know, and just as to the exact cause of Rachitis, no one knows, but there are certain points about the disease and its prevention all should know. Editor, Chicago Whip: Some time ago you published a strong editorial pertaining to the seeming conspiracy among educational institutions to keep Negro students from getting through the great universities of the North. How much Hein in regard to the situation at Howard University of which you may not be aware: The president and present administration at Howard University have increased the cost of all courses from 50 to 100 per cent in the last year; cost of board and education have also been greatly increased. The preparatory college course was cut out of the curriculum to the detriment of the race because it lessens the number of students who are eligible to enter colleges and professional courses. College courses which cost about $40.00 last year will cost $75.00 to $80.00 this year. The cost of the law course has been increased from $50.00 to $100.00 this year. Courses in music, business and science have likewise increased. This in addition to present employment and financial conditions have put unnecessary hardship on students. Many hundreds of worthy boys and girls have not been able to make enough money during the summer to pay tuition, room and board themselves and who are unable to get work in Washington. Many have just enough to pay for the first Treatment Howardite. BOND 8% INTEREST SATE SECURE SOUND BUSINESS w.
