Congress Again Delays Vote On Anti-Lynch Bill NAB 'BLACK AND TAN' LOVERS PRICE 5 CENTS VOL. III—No. 52 NAB '1 DR. MITCHEL IS GRANTED NEW TRIAL Man Accused of Killing His Nephew for Insurance Given Another Chance. MACON, Ga., Dec. 24—Dr. H. C. Mitchell, of this city, who was convicted last summer of poisoning his nephew, Henry G. Mitchell, has been granted a new trial. Dr. Mitchell was charged with murder when it was found that his nephew had died of arsenic poisoning. The boy, who was an ex-service man, was carrying at the time of his death insurance policies aggregating more than $20,000. Included among these was a War Risk Insurance Policy of $10,000, it is said. After a lengthy trial Dr. Mitchell was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment. He immediately took an appeal to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court, passing upon an appeal setting up twelve grounds upon which new trial was asked, set aside all those grounds but one, and on that directed that the case go back for new trial. The high court held that the admission as evidence by the lower court of testimony showing that Dr. Mitchell had collected $500 life insurance upon his first wife was irrelevant and prejudicial, and requires a new trial. Suit Settles Question of "Scandal" The "Chicago Whip" was given judgment by Judge Frank Johnston, Jr., against Mrs. Devotion Middleton, 3144 Calumet Ave., in the case of Devotion Middleton vs. Mrs. J. E. Carter and the Chicago Whip. A demurrier was interposed by their attorneys, Ellis & Westbrooks to the second amended declaration filed on behalf of Mrs. Middleton. The suit grew out of an article published in the Whip in 1920, concerning a pending suit for divorce filed by Mrs. Doctor Lucretia A. Carter against her husband John Carter, in the Superior Court of Cook County, and in which certain "Love Letters" were introduced in evidence by Mrs. Doctor Carter, who claimed and testified in court on the hearing that her husband had received from a Mrs. Middleton. No mention was made of which Mrs. Middleton as to the identity at that time was unknown. Attorney Westbrooks contended that the press had the absolute right to publish the proceedings in court and so long as the same were a full and fair report of such proceedings an action of libel could not be based on the publication. The suit was for $15,000, which the plaintiff, Mrs. Middleton claimed she had been damaged in the amount in her "good name, credit and reputation." After hearing arguments by the attorneys for all of the parties the judge rendered judgment in favor of all the defendants and against Mrs. Middleton for the costs. The Chicago Whip wishes to extent to its subscribers, readers and friends the Season's Greetings. A Merry Xmas to All The Chicago Whip Cops Follow Lovers Home, Raid Flats Concurrent with the city-wide drive against booze and moonshine whiskey, police authorities in the Second Ward are said to be concentrating their efforts to stamp out illicit associations between black men and white women. Watch Black and Tan Resorts It is said that every rendezvous in the district where men and women of the opposite races are accustomed to meet is under police surveillance, and close watch is being made. Several houses have already been raided and their occupants placed under arrest. Special police have been detailed to, watch black and white couples mingling in cabarets and public places. They are then followed and arrests are made if they are seen to enter flats or apartment houses together. Sunday night six couples were arrested in a radius of two blocks. Three were released after marriage licenses were produced. The others were booked on statutory charges. Several men who are known to be living openly with white women have been warned by the police to leave them, it is said. Aim at Panderers The police drive against "Black and Tan" love affairs is said to be in the nature of a determined effort to rid the Second Ward of the pandering evil. Investigators have unearthed a "pandering syndicate," composed of a clique of Black men who control the operations of all white prostitutes operating in the district. These men, in conjunction with the owners of houses of prostitution, levy a toll from each girl who "works" in the house. If she refuses to pay, she is barred from the place. These men are said to control the situation as thoroughly as the now defunct "gambling syndicate" formerly controlled gambling. The drive against pandering comes as a result of several weeks of investigation, and authorities claim they are in possession of the names of all panders and houses of prostitution co-operating with them. JAIL WOMAN FOR KILLING DAUGHTER'S OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Dec. 24—Mrs. Kate Martinez, a white woman, has been arrested on a charge of first degree murder in connection with the killing of Haywood Daniels. Daniels was intimate with the 15-year-old daughter of Mrs. Martinez. On several occasions he had ignored the mother's warnings to keep away from the home. When he approached the girl's home on Friday night, she saw a poster from a dresser drawer and shot him dead with the first shot. Wishing to make sure of his death, she stood over him and emptied the gun—eight bullets into his head. TRAIN OFFICIALS BARRED FROM JIM CROW CARS OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., Dec. 24.—An order recently issued from the offices of the St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad Co. forbids auditors, newsbutchers, conductors, and all other white traimmen riding in Jim-Crow compartments. This action on the part of railroad authorities will relieve a condition long complained of in the South. Jim-Crow coaches are almost invariably half the size of a regular passenger coach, and when choked up by the conductor's ticket boxes and news butcher's magazines, fruits and cigars, passengers are often compelled to ride in the aisles. Woman Dies of Moonshine Poisoning Mrs. Sadie Smith, 31, 3040 Calumer Ave., died at her home Monday, supposedly from the effects of moonshine poisoning. She was attended by Dr Dudley, 32nd and State Sts.

AGAIN DELAY VOTE ON DYER BILL WASHINGTON, Dec. 19—After a bitter fight the House tonight voted to take up the Dyer antilynching bill, under a rule limiting general debate to ten hours. Leaders, however, have agreed that the measure will not be pressed to a final vote before Christmas. The vote was 170 to 42. The bill, introduced by Representative Dyer, Republican, Missouri would provide heavy fines and imprisonment for persons participating in lynchings and for officials who failed to prevent mob violence. It would also require counties in which lynchings occur to forfeit $10,000 to the family of the person killed. Representative Fess of Ohio said the bill was not aimed at the South, but was designed to deal effectively with mob violence wherever it occurred. WASHINGTON CROSSES DELAWARE Washington Crosses Delaware FORTH WORTH, Tex., Dec. 24.—Weldon Delaware, 10, lies in the City-County Hospital with a bullet in the base of his brain. Frenzy Washington, another youngster, was arrested by Officers Daniels and Hall at the Washington home. 811 E. Sixteenth St., at 4 o'clock Friday afternoon, a few minutes after the shooting. Washington at first insisted that Delaware had shot himself accidently. Later, when questioned at police station, the boy admitted he had accidently shot his playmate as they were playing with a 32-caliber automatic. He was transferred to the county. No one else was in the house at the time of the shooting, and officers had to search all over the building before they found the gun, which had been thrown under a folding bed. TAKES LYSOL AFTER QUARREL WITH WIFE Jack Porter, 25. 5117 State St., became despondent after a quarrel with his wife and attempted suicide Tuesday by taking a dose of ibuprofen. He was taken to the County Hospital, where it is said he will recover. Says Dyer Bill "Is Criminal Insurance" MEMPHIS, Tenn., Dec. 16—The Commercial Appeal of December 14th, carries an editorial in opposition to the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, in which it rehearses the old familiar bromides of its viciousness and supposed unconstitutionality, and then goes on to say— "It would be an encouragement to crime because it puts an insurance upon criminals. We do not believe that the people of this great country will consent to confer a monetary reward upon those evil members of society who violate the laws so heinously that they arouse the mob spirit." Evidently, the much perturbed editor wants to say that Negroes would commit crimes, in order to be lynched, thereby making $10,000 available to their dependents. But that would sound a little too absurd, so he talked in verbose, round about language under the equivocal heading: "Insurance for Criminals." SLAIN BANDIT WAS WHITE SCHOOLBOY Slain Bandit Was White School Boy FT. WAYNE, Ind., Dec 24—Oliver Leightner, white, a student of Bluffton High School, Bluffton, Ind., had a penchant for robbery, it is alleged, which finally resulted in his life being sniffed out Sunday morning. Oliver was not satisfied in merely being a "stickup man," but decided to safeguard himself by masquerading as a colored man so that his victims would send out an alarm that they had been held up by a Black Man. Young Leightner attempted to hold up Charles Dolly and his 15-year-old boy at Columbus Grove, while the two were on their way home after closing up their bifid parlor. The elder Dolly had more than $10 in his pockets at the time. While the youthful bandit covered the elder Dolly with a gun, the son struck Leightner's arm, locked under it and crushed into Leightner. As Leightner fell to the ground the elder Dolly fired four shots into his body. The Bluffton boy had blackened his face and wore a mask and not until the bandit had been examined was it discovered that he was white. The Dollys thought that they had killed a Black highwayman. The slain youth is the son of a Mr. and Mrs. William Leightner, prominent members of Bluffton society and the son was a senior student of Bluffton High School. WIFE FINDS TRANSFERS TRAPS HUBBY Mrs. Laura Ross, No. 520 Bryant Avenue, in her bill filed in the Circuit Court against her husband, Jerry Ross, of the same address, was granted an injunction by Judge G. Fred Rush, restraining him from interiering with her and coming to her home. The bill filed by her Attorney Ellis and Westbrooks, charges that he husband had beaten and choked her without any cause on several dates and particularly on July 28th and April, 1921. "That on December 14th, 1921, she discovered the defendant in the act of paying the fare of Beatrice Walton, the ex-wife from Chicago to Pittsburgh; that he had committed adultery with his ex-wife from October, 1921, to December, 1921." She further stated that by saving the transfers issued by the street car company she was able to determine the time and place where her husband held his daily ryst with his affinity. The Ball Detective Agency wasalled and placed in charge of the matter. After an operative had coursed the evidence Mrs. Ross, Mr. all and two operatives confronted Mr. Ross and the Walton woman at the Union Station and Mrs. Ross said, "This is what you have been doing for the last three months" and Jerry said, "Yes." PRINCIPAL IN BLAZING LAMP MURDER GETS 15 YEARS WASHINGTON, Dec., 24—Jesse Dozier, a barber, of 711 G St., S W. who was indicted on a charge of murder for the killing of Miss Myrtle Wilson in August, was allowed to plead guilty to a charge of manslaughter and sentenced to fifteen years in the penitentiary here. The woman was burned to death when a blazing lamp, thrown by Dozier, struck her and ignited her clothing. Chicago's Most Popular and Widely Read Weekly LOV OVERS TULSA, Okla. Dec. 24.—Who whipped George Watson? That is the question being asked in Tulsa. Watson himself cannot be expected to ask, because he has left for parts unknown. Governor Wants Time to Investigate Records of Famous Case. A reporter for a daily newspaper tells a story of being kidnapped and taken blindfolded to a secluded spot to watch the whipping of Watson by a band of "Negro Vigilantes," who claimed that Watson was an undesirable character, and a lawbreaker. After being whipped he is said to have been ordered out of town. The victim is said to have been strung to a tree so that his toes barely touched the ground and flogged into insensibility. The belief is strong here that Watson was whipped by a band of whites who had blackened their faces to escape identity. Men Snatched From Mob Get 25 Years BARNSTABLE, Mass., Dec. 24.—Orderly process of legal machinery has set 25 years imprisonment as the penalty that must be paid by John Dies, Benjamin Gomez and Joseph Andrews, convicted of assaulting Gertrude Butler, a white girl, between Buzzard's Bay and Bourne last August. Sentence was imposed last week by Judge Henry T. Lummus. The country was shocked last summer when it was learned that a seething mob of New Englanders had surrounded the jail at Barnstable, where the men were confined, and attempted to lynch them. Sheriff Rosenthal set an example for the South by marshalling all available policemen, and sending in a request for militia and state artillery units. He then mounted machine guns in the roads leading to the jail and ordered his men to fire when the mob crossed a certain deadline. The mob took him at his word and no blood was shed. The convicted men will be held in the county jail thirty days during which time their counsel will be permitted to file exceptions. A motion for a new trial on the allegation that one of the jurors was drunk the day before the trial was begun, was denied. When Assistant District-Attorney Charles Ryan asked for a life sentence, Judge Lummus declared that the prisoners' youth was all that deterred him from complying with the request. The testimony on which the vouchers were convicted was to the effect that they had forced Miss Butler and her escort, William Eidridge, into an automobile and took them to a lonely spot where they committed criminal assault on the girl while Eidridge was covered with a revolver. WOMAN. OTHER MAN, TAKE SHOTS AT HUB3Y Joseph Bell, 40, 4034 Dearborn St. was shot in the bottom of the left foot Wednesday in front of his home, when he attested to break up a combination including his wife and Weaverly Cottman, 3608 Indiana Ave. As Bell set in to attack his wife, she took Blue shot at him, but finding that her aunt was poor, passed the pistol to Cottman. Cottman continued the firing, wounding the irate husband in the foot. NEW ORLEANS, La., Dec. 16.—The New Orleans Times-Picayune is sponsoring a fund to get toys for children of the city. At last report the total amount raised was $1,309,78 which was said to be not enough by far. The paper appealed for additional generosity from the public so that every poor child might be reached, "for it is a pittable thing to think that some children must be disappointed." 1 EIGHT PAGES Suspect "Bum Steer" In Tulsa Whipping --- Toys for Children PRICE FIVE CENTS MAYS GETS 90 DAY RESPITE NASHVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 24.—A Christmas present in the form of a 90-day respite was given Maurice Mays by Gov. A. A. Taylor last Thursday morning. Mays, twice convicted in the Knox County criminal court for the murder of a white woman, Mrs. Bertie Lindsay, was condemned to die Thursday. The Mays case attracted national attention, and aid was elicited from throughout the country in his fight for life. In granting Mays the respite Governor Taylor announced that he was desirous of making a complete investigation of all the facts in the case. Story of the Case It was on the Saturday morning of September, 1918, shortly after midnight, that the gruesome tragedy was enacted which a few hours later involved Maurice F. Mays, young-colored man, and caused his arrest in his home on Humes St. Mrs. Bertie Lindsay and her cousin, Miss Ora Parsons, now Mrs. Ora Smythe, were asleep in their home, a three-room house in the northern part of the city, when some intruder gained entrance to the home and with a flashlight in one hand and a pistol in the other, demanded that the two women remain still and submit to his commands or he would shoot them. Mrs. Lindsay refused to obey and the story is too well known of the action of the marauder in firing a bullet into her body that resulted in her sudden death. Captain Wilson was in charge of the squad of officers who were on duty at that hour and one of these officers was Patrolman Andy White, who according to the testimony of many witnesses, was an enemy of Maurice Mays. It is stated that Patrolman White, upon hearing of the killing, immediately stated "I'll bet it's that nigger Maurice Mays," and further, suggested to Captain Wilson that Mays be found and taken into custody. The officers drove to the room of Mays on Humes St. and found him in bed. After making a search of his home they found a pistol of the same caliber as the one with which Mrs. Lindsay was killed, but failed to find a flashlight. Mays was taken into custody and with the officers drove to the scene of the killing. Miss Parsons was called and according to Mays' testimony was asked to identify him in a very poor light and while she was in a very excited condition. She readily stated that Mays was the man and charged him with having fired the shot that killed her cousin. Miss Parsons never did change her statement as to the positive identification of Mays and it was her statement that resulted in Mays' conviction. The trial of Maurice Mays was conducted in the Knox County criminal court before Judge T. A. R. Nelson, several months after the killing of Mrs. Lindsay and the jury in the case returned a verdict of guilt of murder in the first degree and Judge Nelson sentenced Mays to death by electrocution. Mays' attorneys filed a motion for a new trial and this was denied by Judge Nelson after which the convicted man was taken to the Nashville prison to await the outcome of the appeal to the state supreme court. The higher court reversed the lower court's decision on the grounds that a technical error had been made by the lower court in that the jury failed to prescribe the punishment. The case was again called in the Knox County criminal court and the second time Judge Xen Hicks, of an adjoining county, was appointed by the governor to preside, Judge Nelson being incompetent, due to his decision having been reversed by the higher court. Practically the same evidence was offered by both sides at the second trial and again the jury returned a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree and fixed Mays' punishment as death by electrocution. Judge Hicks also overruled the motion for a new trial and again the case was appealed to the supreme court, which after reviewing the case, affirmed the decision of the lower court and set the date for Mays' electrocution as Thursday, December 15. BRAVES ICY WATERS TO SAVE MAN NEW YORK CITY, Dec. 24—Albert Walcott of 131 W. 133rd St, New York City is employed by T. Hogan & Sons, stevedores, 1120 Broadway, On November 30, just as the White Star liner Adriatic was about to sail, with Admiral Beatty, Britain's naval idol, on board, a heaving line became entangled about the arm of Ernest Williams of 4 W. 134th St, and he was dragged overboard. The propellers of the Adriatic had churned the slip into a veritable whirlpool and Williams, still entangled in the hand line, was being whirled about the vortex. Time and again he was sucked under. "At once I saw the predicament of the man," recited the medalist to a reporter, "and without so much as dashing off my coat, I plunged in after him. When I did that I had no thought of coming back again, as the water was equal to a boiling river, and the white linenen ashore, instead of trying to save the man, were only playing with him, until he'd become exhausted and go under.

As Wolcott untangled the line from Williams' body and swam to him and piloted him to a nearby log, a roar of cheers ran up from the spectators on board the Adriatic. Admiral Beatty was one of those who especially cheered him. Walcott, who hails from Barbados, was awarded a 14 carat gold medal by his employers, T. Hogan and Son, and will also receive the coveted award of the Carnegie Foundation. Wolcott, who has been in America ten years, is married and is the father of a seven-year-old girl.

The Dixie Flyer ENDURANCE, economy and comfort—essential elements in the design and construction of a thoroughly satisfying passenger car—all, with moderate price, are happily combined in the various models of the Dixie Flyer, Touring Car, Roadster, Speedster, Sport Touring, Sedan, Coupe. That reassuring quality of physical endurance is made possible by structural sturdiness and ample power for any emergency. The high grade mechanical units in the Dixie Flyer outnumber those usually found in similarly priced cars. Economy of operation—remarkably low fuel consumption and strikingly high tire mileage—is another outstanding attribute of the Dixie. Equipped with hot spot manifold, the Dixie Flyer operates efficiently on present-day, low grade fuel. Medium weight, evenly distributed over entire chassis, lengthens tire life and minimizes maintenance cost. Scientifically proportioned spring suspension and the resilience of deep-cushioned seats give the Dixie a characteristic of "give-and-take"—that riding comfort expected only in higher priced models. Superior coach work and a full complement of convenient equipment decisively enhance the unusual car value in the Dixie Flyer. The Dixie Flyer offers the wide-awake dealer unlimited opportunities.

"Zip's" Reply to "The Scribbler Attack" The "Scribbler" having edited two local newspapers and a magazine—also, contributing to hundreds of standard magazines for the world of fiction—even until date; also weekly reviewing the work of thirty Literary Clubs (alone) besides over 150 other organizations in the city—a total of over 3,000 people, admits that he should think twice before daring to "talk back" to the great "Mogul," by saying that he (the scribbler) was invited to give a "fair review" of the Contest to the public. A perusal of last week's issue, Club Department of the Whip, will prove that the statement: "He says, he is coming to knock," was erroneous, or in plain words—(you say it!). People who can read knew that. Dissatisfied at Silvering Offering- Contest. Many Went Away It is reported that many persons who arrived at Pilgrim Temple upon invitation to witness the Annual Essay Contest staged by Mr. B. W. Fitts and Professor W. N. Huggins and others, were turned back because they did not feel disposed to pay a silver offering to enter. Among these was the wife of a prominent physician. She stated to a representative of the Whip that she did not see an announcement of a silver offering, being a baptist, she knew that such things were out of the ordinary in Baptist churches—upon Sunday. The usher told her firmly that his orders were to turn them back unless they paid. Several others including some children who stated that they were only given car fare by their mothers were also turned back.

A good program accompanied the presentation. Welcome by Dr. A. A. Wesley Real artists were present—including the juvenile prodigies, Berry Brothers. But in view of the pile of splinters, tin and wires which were apparently rigged up to represent a piano, we think it a courtesy to omit the name of the real artists who were compelled to talk back to that "metallic cyclone." Besides that—the program was high no The Kappa Alpha Psi Glee and Violin Club gave a recital at the Avenue Theatre on December 13th. Fair audience. Harrison Ferrel easily carried off first honors, J. Francis Mores, baritone was a close second. C. C Horn in "The Raven" was a distinct feature. The singing was good. The public, being accustomed to so much first class singing directed by high up conductors, looked and listened critically at the work of the gentleman who directed this body. Miss Estelle C. Bond really proved herself arrived—as accompanist. Mr. Lightfoot may improve. Upon the whole the affair was above the average amateur work. Mr. Julius N. Avendorp was Master of Ceremonies. J. A. Mundy, Director. The Carter Charity, December 7th, was addressed by Mme. E. M. Carter the organizer. The meeting was held at the residence of Mrs. E. M. Carter, Mrs. Erna Nelson, President. The Phylis Wheatley Club invites the family to be present upon the first and third Wednesdays. 3256 Rhodes. The B. Y. P. U. at Pilgrim Temple, last Sunday easily won first honors, within its sphere by the great program rendered by Miss Zelma Watson. J. J. Holman, President. O, yes! Guess who is making her debut XMAS? That will settle it for the aspiring (Mr. ?). No more accomplished debutante do we know. Sorry the whole Family was not invited to be present! Grace Lyceum last Sunday presented a contestant M. Loring B. Moore, who has won medals at Fisker Moorehouse and various other colleges. This young law student made the oration of the day. But altho he possessed his manuscript—his error was, that he did not read it, but recited from memory—it evidently cost him first place. The winner, Gordon H. Simpson, equalled Moore in composition, subject matter and delivery therefore was awarded first prize—a diamond ring. Moore won second—ring. Simpson represented The Society for Study Negro Life. Opening Week of the M. C. C. Community House A full week of extra fine programs were presented at 3118 Giles Avenue, Assistant States Attorney, Charles C. Roe, in a wonderful address, "The Legal Status of the Negro," reviewed all the important points of vitality which are well known to the leaders of the Race. He is writing a book upon the subject, "For the Other Fellow." Reverend Ed. T. McDermott, of the Industrial Relations Department of the International Harvester Co., and Pastor of the Campbell Park Presbyterian Church, thoroughly expounded "Inter-racial Relations"; Mr. J. B. Stafford of Swift Packing Co., was present. Attorney W. H. Brown and many other distinguished Race men gave interesting views. Mr. Saltiel, Assistant to Corporation Attorney, City of Chicago, gave the address of the week: "A Citizen, His Duty to the Community." Gentleman Faulkner, Dr. Giles, S. W. Trice, H. A. Watkins, Chas. A. Griffin and Morsell were responsible for the program. Saturday evening, Mrs. Dillow and Miss Edna Cook presented the Young People. The current week will continue the series of programs. Music by M. C. C. Choir, Institutional Choir and others. The Woman's Mayflower Club!

Fine musical numbers are also scheduled for this date. "The Uses of Adversity" the topic. Mrs. Hudson, president. The Sunday Evening Club of M. C. C. H. A. Watkins, Ch. program Committee and Reverend W. D. Cook, director, presented Judge Olsen, of the Domestic Relations Court. The address was one of the most scientific and interesting to the public, of any address previously delivered before this audience. The music by the M. C. C. Choir, under direction of Prof. J. Wesley Jones, was classical. Madame Bertha M. Tyree was encored several times. The selections from operatic and spiritual themes were truly marvelous. The response to the speaker by Dr. Cook, was a credit to the high integrity of the center. The President of Pilgrim Temple B. Y. P. U, permitted the managers of the Contest, to "run over" and to usurp a part of the B. Y. P. U. time Sunday. Nevertheless, for this courtesy, he was rapped down after he made an announcement, upon his "own time," by the Chief Mogul of the Affair, Mr. J. J. Holman considered the source of the ingratitude, and quietly submitted. The members of the B. Y. P. U were not satisfied at this discourteous act toward their president. The rebuff by Rev. H. McGavock to the Mogul when he invited McGavock to speak was: "Mr. Fitts, every body in Chicago and nearby towns know me." He did not "put on airs" and pose before the people. We thank McGavock. We sat in school by his side, and have been friends since early boyhood. We saw, too, that he did not like the FALSE statement made a few moments before, in reference to our report. THE "Scribbler" did not say: "I am coming to knock." Thanks also to Reverend Robinson, also a man! An Expose! ZIP and The Mogul!! Many persons have recently asked, "What is the cause of the constant daggers between the Honorable Zip Head and Chief Mogul of Context Fame?" A few months ago when the now dead and then dying "Dimlight paper was expiring. Zip was asked by the Chief to take the management of the "Dimlight" paper. Zip was then transferring his baggage from another paper to the cellar of the Whip. Zip replied to the Mogul with a laugh—a horrid unearthly guillow, and ran out upon State street. No, sir, Zip wouldn't even look at the "town pager." The Mogul got mad. A awfully mad. Since that time when things go sad or bad with Zip, and he wants a good broad smile, all he has to do is just wink his eye and stick out his tongue at the Mogul prestol. The Chief Mogul raves. Zip gets his much earned laff, and feels better till next time. The Mogul is a Xmas Gift to the Literati. Clubs Omega _ Psi Phi is to meet in Atlanta, Ga., from December 27th to 31st inclusive.

Gaines, assist ant secretary; Jessie Harris, secretary and Mr. McGowen, president. Review of the "Annual Literary Contest" By Walter A. Ellis In response to the request by several literary clubs—to attend and to review the "Annual Essay Contest" we herewith submit what we consider a fair review. The music by Sim's orchestra was a credit to Mr. Arthur Sims, director. The exquisite and highly technical piano number by Miss Ida Wells-Barnett was an agreeable surprise. It was far above the average number rendered upon such occasions. The solo by Miss O. G. Stone was good. Her voice is near the quality of Mrs. Roberta D. Crawford, Teacher—Prof. Jordan. Jacob Lowe, baritone "went over strong—encored. Then let's proceed to the eight contestants: Frank W. Henry, without displaying any of the bitterness indicated by his co-workers, or any objection to fair criticism, made an intelligent and truly diplomatic response to the address of welcome. Then—E. W. Henry is intelligent. J. W. Lucas, Tuskegee Club, was not quite up to the running field—either in subject matter or delivery; M. Loring B. Moore of Grace Lyeum, outstripped the field from every angle, visible or audible, to the audience, excepting the high class representative from The Society for Study of Negro Life and History, Gordon H. Simpson, who was awarded first prize. It was a close decision between these two; from points of subject matter or delivery. When we consider that Moore has finished Atlanta University, winning prizes for essays, we cannot believe that in composition he was excelled. Therefore, the cause of failure to win FIRST HONORS instead of SECOND, must have been that the judges decided that Simpson READ, and Moore recited. It was to have been an Essay and not an Oratorical Contest. We agree. Mrs. Nainie Reed, City Federation of Women's Clubs, was close up to these two in all points evident to the public. M. E. B. Peck, Bethel, simply preached "his stuff." He was funny—very! Paul W. Kinchen, St. Marks Lyceum was best orator—not essavist. Winston T. McGhee, South Side Literary Club, from point of subject mater and argument was superior to all save Moore. But evidently his faulty delivery and pose handicapped him. Miss Mary L. Webster of Astrometer Club equalled Mrs. Reed in subject matter, but her inaudible tones seriously handicapped her for fourth place. We cannot conceive of a fairer decision by the eight judges. Do not fail to see the WISE MEN FROM THE EAST in The Messiah's Advent, at Aryan Grotto Temple, December 27, at 8:15 P. M. OPEN ANTI "JIM CROW" DRIVE IN N.Y. NEW YORK CITY, Dec. 24.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Ave., today announced the result of letters sent to Loew's Incorporated, against whose theatres in Harlem complained of discrimination had been made by colored patrons. The first letter sent by James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. to Loew's Incorporated, stated: "A number of complaints have come to me regarding the attitude of certain employees at Loew Theatres, especially those located in Harlem. In certain of these theatres, notably the Victoria Theatre, on 125th St. when colored people—it matters not how respectable they may be—attempt to purchase orchestra seats they are told that none are vacant, but they will be seated in the balcony. In some cases when they have purchased seats in the orchestra they have been refused admission by door-keepers and told that they can sit only in the balcony." Mr. Johnson's letter further pointed out that this constituted a violation of the New York State Civil Rights Law. In reply, finally, the following letter was received at the national office of the N. A. A. C. P.: "I have before me your letter of November 30th, addressed to Mr. Marcus Loew. "We are thoroughly aware of the existence of the Civil Rights Law. Employes of theatres, in which we are interested, are instructed by their respective management to afford equal accommodation to all persons, irrespective of race, creed or color.

CHICAGO'S ONLY COLORED LOAN BROKERS AND DIAMOND SHOP 3541 State Street C. J. Jackson, Pres. James H. Williams, Treas. C. R. McFarland, Sec'y 3541 State Street "Two Gun" Man Was Industrious Husband Sometime ago there appeared through the columns of the press that "One Wiley Hill had been captured after a fierce pistol battle with officers." That he was a "Two-Gun Man" and that it was necessary to shoot him before his capture. The case of People of the State of Illinois vs. Wiley Hill was called before Judge John K. Prinville, in the Municipal Court of Chicago, when a crippled and wounded man appeared in answer to the same with his Attorney, Richard E. Westbrooks, of the firm of Ellis & Westbrooks. Roosevelt Lewis, 4124 Vincennes Ave., stepped forth and being questioned by the States Attorney told of being robbed by four men about September 18th, while delivering ice at 10:30 in the evening in the company of Hezekiah Williams, 4215 Evans Ave., his employer. He further described the four men who had committed the robbery. Hezekiah corroborated the testimony of Lewis. On cross examination by Attorney Westbrooks both denied that Hill was one of the four and in fact stated that Hill was not in anyway connected with the robbery. Officer Frank P. Nolan, who shot Hill, admitted that he had no warrant for Hill and did not see Hill do anything except walk out of the pool room when a general search without warrant or authority of law was being conducted, Lavin, Hogan Nolan, et al. That he had no personal knowledge of the robbery and did not see any of the robbers at the time the same was committed, but that alter he had shot Hill and had him carried to the County Hospital the witness Williams "identified" hill as one of the robbers. Williams denied that he identified Hill as a robber, but testified that he did not see any of the four men. Attorney Westbrooks admitted that Hill had the right to walk wherever he pleased without being searched by police officers or anyone else who had no authority of law to do so. Judge Prindiville found Hill not guilty on the two robbery charges and Hill was discharged. It appeared from the evidence that Hill was not a robber but only a hard working man living with his wife and family, 2728 S. Wabash Ave, and had worked for one firm, Kenfield-Leach Printing Company, 610 Federal St., for several years. Mr. Matthew Beaton, treasurer of the company, stated that Wiley Hill had been in their employ for several years and besides being entirely satisfactory as an employee, he was considered as reliable and was a steady good worker. Hill has been confined in the hospital and county jail since he was shot by Officer Nolan in September, but is now home with his wife, receiving proper medical attention. DOCTOR LOSES LIBEL APPEAL AGAINST PAPER DOCTOR LOSES LIBEL APPEAL AGAINST PAPER The Appellate Court of the First District of Illinois has affirmed the judgment of the lower court in the case of Dr. Frank Armstrong vs. R. S. Abbott, of the Chicago Defender. A jury in the lower court, upon which the judgment was entered, had returned the verdict in favor of the Chicago Defender; Doctor Arstrong appealed the case.

ARE COLORED WOMEN MORE FASTIDIOUS ABOUT THEM THAN WOMEN OF THE OTHER GIRLS This question is being discussed with interest today due in part to the public's attention being called to the rapid growth of our leading firm, the Lowe's, which is a nationally designed for our hair and skin. Even more striking from an economic point of view are the numerous women who in small business places or their homes make would be difficult to estimate the money which is in circulation or the volume of business done through catering to the beauty neds of the Colored woman. Many of our foremost women gained their start in this field. Why are our women so interested in their looks, Mine R. Credit Ole, manager of the NLEE QUEEN SHOP was asked, "We have been impelled in our search for a more self-confident woman." First, as the Colored woman improved her hair, she took greater interest in her general appearance. She has found that looking her best has given her greater self-confidence, both soia and business ways. New avenues of employment opened up. She began to feel the pulse of bigger life. But there has been a noticeable change in the dressing establishments. These have not kept abreast of the art. Many are ill kept in unsanitary surroundings, others operate in kitchens and bedrooms. Barber shops for men, ladies, and much finer, than similar places for women. "At least this was true until this week when the KASHMIR NILE QUEEN BEAUTY SHOP opened its doors, in the new Nile Queen building, at 3423 Indiana Avenue. Beautiful furry, beautiful hair, beautiful investment comprising all of the latest electrical and scientific apparatus for doing mysterious things for my lady's face, hair, skin, hands, it is indeed a new step in the art of making our women beautiful. Many women are making it a point that the shop simply to see the new equipment." The NILE QUEEN CORPORATION, formerly the Kashmir Chemical Company is said to be planning similar establishments in a half dozen other cities. Others declare that even though beauty is a key factor in beautyifying, that they cannot begin to equal the other race is this particular. WOULD YOU GO A FEW BLOCKS TO SAVE $100?

As hundreds of people were unable to secure tickets to the first performance given on December 2nd, repeated requests for a repeat performance have poured into Mrs. Mary Ross Dorsey and her caste and finally prevailed upon them to repeat what proved to be one of the best amateur performances ever given in Chicago. The performance is not a benefit performance, but is a response to popular demand. Practically Same Caste Practically the same caste which made the first presentation will appear on New Year's night. Mrs. Dorsey is giving her caste the same careful drilling which largely accounted for the success of the first showing and the few new members are getting extra attention to assure the same perfection that was a feature of the playing of the entire caste on December 2nd.

According to a recent canvass of the New Third Ward there are within its sixty-six precincts 15,150 White and 15,027 Colored voters. Inasmuch as 80 per cent of the vote of the Ward is Republican and 99 per cent of the Colored vote is Republican, there should be no question as to who should be the controlling factor in Third Ward affairs. It is now generally conceded that there will be no COALITION—at least as far as the April primaries are concerned—which should make it a whole lot easier for some of our Colored Brethren, who claimed they would like to vote for "their race," but their "Conscience" wouldn't let 'em vote for "no Democrat." Well, you won't have to burden your conscience along that score now—just buckle up your Armor of Race Pride a little tighter; vote for Race men on the ticket—if they are Honest, Clean, Trustworthy—forget, your ancient grudge against Democrats; as far as Negroes are concerned it is a case of Men rather than Party—some men aligned with the regular Republican organization are your worst enemies. Learn to vote THINKINGLY, pool your strength in the interest of those candidates (white or black) who stand for the best interests of the race, seek to nominate and elect worthy colored men to all offices controlled by the vote of the Second and Third Wards, and inasmuch as it is virtually impossible to elect Colored men to County offices, support white men for those offices whose attitude is friendly and whose administration will be fair. In the selection of Aldermanic candidates for the Third War, Dr. Wm F. Garnett should not be overlooked. Dr. Garnett, in public office would be a powerful force for good, and it will be remembered that though his petition was thrown out on slight technicalities in the last Aldermanic election, Doctor Garnett's supporters "wrote in" his name to the tune of 1,300.

Jackson, Alderman of the Old Second Ward, has his Lares and Penates within the confines of the New Third, preparatory to his entree as one of the Thompson Gladiators in the Political Arena thereof. The Major brings with him a clean record, a career jotted here and there with constructive efforts toward reform of existing civil evils and racial advancement, a large following of stanch adherents and a jovial disposition. It is agreed that the Major is "casy to get along with." If Third Warders fail to place a "native" in the Common Council there appears to be no one they would rather "adopt" than the "Major." There is still much conjecture as to who the candidates for Congress and State Senator will be. Hon. Adelbert H. Roberts is still being urged by his friends to enter the race; Lawyer Jas N. Sins is likewise being pressed to make the run; Lawyer N. S. Taylor of the Equal Rights League is a prime favorite with many and it is said by his friends that he could bear Senatorial honors with equanimity and ease. Equal interest is shown in the choice of a candidate for Congressional honors. Col. Jas. H. Johnson, deputy sheriff of Cook County, is practically having the honor of running for this high office thrust upon him. States Attorney Porter, however, has a host of friends who think he would make a great Congressman. According to some, the ideal Black Congressman, the man who would make the, Halls of Congress ring with eloquence and serve not only a part but all of the constituents of the First Congressional District as ably as ANY man and better than most—is our own "Ed. Morris"—now serving delegate to the Con Con. Sometimes we tell the most startling news first—other times, well, we just "hold it a while"—so here's a secret I'm going to let out; it seems that a large proportion of Second Warders have decided that "things haven't gone right" in that territory for a long time; now they have started a movement to put a man in the City Council who has NOT been "lined up" with any of the factions heretofore. It is rumored that the man in question is none other than the well-known citizen and able physician, Dr. J. W. McDowell. With a man like Dr. McDowell running on a constructive platform designed to inaugurate a new order of things for that long-exploited district, the "old regulars" are assured of an interesting, if not dangerous fight on their hands.

NOSEY WAS following around two individuals who seemed not to be too sure of paper. stood at 35th and Michigan Ave. only an half hour before they had courage to cross. When they got on State Street, they stood there looking at the passing crowds. A Yellow taxi cab passed near them and the smaller lady exclaimed to the taller one, "Oh, look! There is that same yellow automobile that we have seen so many times today. I believe that it is 'following us.' Nosey knew then that they had 'just arrived,' and passed on leaving them to figure out the mystery of the yellow cab that was chasing them all day. ONE ONLY has to announce that he or she is an heir to oil lands in Oklahoma and immediately there is thrown around that person a golden halo. Nosey has been watching some of the society gentlemen "vamps" as they camp on the trail of a young lady who just came to town from the oil land state. She passed out the news, wore a few diamonds, a smart frock and her rather unattractive face was forgotten. The gentlemen began the gamble, leaving their "steady company" to suffer. Nosey has an idea that these same gentlemen will be going to get back home after a while, then they discover that the golden bird was made of lead. SOME POPULAR gentlemen are so popular that they get into trouble on account of the many social engagements that they have, some of them being of their own making, others being thrust upon them. Nosey stood in a drugstore and saw two popular young men tossing up a coin. The toss was to decide which was to take a young lady out that night. Both seemed to have a strong hand with the lady even though she is very popular. The fat one lost, but he shrugged his shoulders in a nonchalant manner, and called for his taxi. The other grinned and entered his car and sought out his lady fair. They met at their party later and everybody was congenial. EVER AND ANON Nosey takes his stand at one of the railroad stations to see who comes and who goes. He saw a dainty little matron kissing her husband goodbye. She passed through the gate and entered the train. The husband wended his way sorrowfully home to be alone. Nosey was driving out south that night and suddenly came upon the little wire with bag in hand at 65th Street. She had evidently gotten off the train at Englewood Station. Hubby was worried but she seemed carefree. Nosey followed her, thinking that she would go home, but instead she went to her friend's house. Nosey congratulates the lady on having such stunner friends who will tell "friend husband" just what she asks and no more. YOU CAN NEVER tell about these ladies who persist in saving that they never have been in a cabaret in their life. Nosey almost fell from his comfortable stool at one of the all-night cabarets the other night when he saw one of these ladies who never frequent cabarets march in and have a seat. What surprised Nosey more was the fact that she was with a pale faced gentleman, and both had not paid any attention to the attempt to put the lid on the liquor situation. You can never tell, no matter what they say. Hear Madame Blanche Dorsey Peyton, soprano, in Messiah's Advent, by Ebenheze Choir, at Aryan Grotto Temple, December 27. Curtain at 8:15 sharp.

J. J. Holman, B. Y. P. U., Presents Singers The president of the B. Y. P. U. at Pilgrim Temple Baptist Church presented the Williams Singers to nearly 1,000 guests on Monday evening, 19th instant. These singers are late of Europe and New York City. Their repertoire was popular and classical. They proved good in each. Every member of the company is a trained artist and the group received additional training in London from Madame Aldridge, a former pupil of the famous Jennie Lind. With the possible exception of the recent Johnson, Taylor and Johnson concert at the Community Center under the direction of Prof. J. Wesley Jones, this concert surpassed any other that has been given in this city during the season. Each soloist received encores, and the quartettes were classical in their features of "Going Back to Swuance" and other numbers. A return engagement is asked for by the public. Metropolitan Community Center W. D. Cook, Pastor The Rev. Dr. James Edward Mason of Livingston College, N. C., filled the pulpit Sunday morning. "The Outside Sheet" was his text. The distinguished educator is as much a scientist as preacher, and he stands high in the clergy of the country. The congregation was immensely helped by the discourse. The music was good.

Salem Tutt and Homer Tutt Whitney now stand along as premier producers of Negro showdom. "Up and Down" their present production carries throut a theme that is full of musical satires. This is the last week of this show and I advise all who have not seen it to get in before Sunday night as a new production will be staged on next Monday night, December 26, by these gentlemen. The Avenue Good vaudeville was seen here on a huge bill this week. One of the headline features was the act of Scott, Thomas and Ray, unique dancers which one favor with the audience. The Benefit Matinee given at this house, Saturday, December 17, was a financial success and the vaudeville offering was great. One of the most appreciated acts on the bill was the dancing of Miss Marion Harrison. A few months past, Miss Harrison was an amateur, but I now proclaim her a real star. She sings well and puts her songs over well, and backs them up with excellent dancing. Hélena Justa also held laurels as a classic toe dancer, Anita Wilkins sang beautifully. The Byron Brothers Saxophone band was an appreciated offering. Scott-Thomas, and Ray who were playing the regular bill at this house, donated their services for the Christmas fund. In fact, all of the acts on the bill, which space will not permit me to mention, were great. The Whitney Brothers with their Smarter Set Company will always be remembered by Chicago for asy- Gilpin Appears in Benefit For Howard University WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 24. In connection with the appearance of Charles Gilpin in the "Emperor Jones" at the Shubert-Garrick Theatre, in Washington, D. C., during the week of December 12th, 1921, through the interest of the Provincetown Players in the Howard Players, a special benefit performance of the "Emperor Jones" was given at the Shubert-Garrick, Wednesday evening, December 14th. The proceeds from the performance were donated to the Building Fund for a Theatre at Howard University, necessary for the proper development of the work of the Department of Dramatic Art. Mr. Gilpin and the original Broadway Company are booked for the Shubert-Garrick the week of December 12th, and thousands of Washingtonians welcomed Mr. Gilpin and witnessed his wonderful emotional acting. In the special performance, the Howard Players united in making it a magnificent tribute to the modern Ira Aldridge.

A romance of glorious Bagdad, of oriental passions and exotic love. "WHAT DO MEN WANT" At the Vendome Theatre, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, December 22-23-24. Lois Weber's "What Do Men Want" with an all-star cast. Every woman in the world asks this question: What Do Men Want? Every woman has asked it many thousands of times. Many women have found the answer, millions of others spend sleepless, futile nights praying, wondering, hoping, seeking for the answer. Do men want the things women think they want? Do women know as much as they think they know about satisfying the wants, longings, desires, ambitions of their husbands and sweet-hearts? The multitude of divorces in America cry aloud the fact that women do not understand men, and that men do not understand women. See this greatest of all problem plays of the day.

READ NOSEY'S XMAS STORY NEXT ISSUE THERE'S C Ethel THE CHICAGO WHIP Noted Singer Barred From Marriage Ethel Waters, Famous Phonograph Star Salary Highest in Country NEW YORK, Dec. 24—Ethel Waters, star of the Black Swan Troubadours, has signed a unique contract with Harry H. Pace, which stipulates that she is not to marry for at least a year and that during this period she is to devote her time largely to singing for Black Swan Records and appearing with the Troubadours. It was due to the numerous offers for marriage, many of her suitors suggesting that she at once give up her professional life for one of domesticity, that Mr. Pace was prompted to take this step. Some love sick swains have fallen in love with Miss Waters' picture appearing in the newspapers, while others have been captivated by her voice and personal charm. Although she travels with a maid it will be necessary for her to employ a private social secretary to attend to her mail if the endearing communications continue on the increase. While recently playing in Wheeling, W. Va., one promising young physician almost broke up the tour of the Black Swan Troubadours, so convincing was his picture of the delights of comumbial bliss. When the incident was reported to the New York Office Harry Pace lost no time in sending Miss Waters a new contract containing the no marriage proviso and a salary agreement representing a figure for each night's engagement and each record that most people would be glad to earn in a month, along with a detailed account of his reasons for desiring such an agreement and the singer promptly signed the papers and returned them to New York. Miss Waters' contract with the Black Swan interests makes her now the highest salaried colored photograph star in the country. "A WESTERN DEMON" At the States Theatre, Sunday, December 25 Wm. Fairbanks in "A Western Demon." A Western drama that will make you feel like shouting for joy. Here is everything you want for real enjoyment: thrills, drama, romance, and suspense. S ONLY ONE Waters MUSIC Music prepared—ready to serve—which shall it be—wholesome, strengthening, music muscle building material or sickly sweets, dangerous canned lobster salad combinations or rank poison. The decision as to the choice and the consequent result largely in the hands of those who either are or are thought to be capable and representative in the held of real musicianship. Care must be exercised by musicians in exercising the right automatically given them in setting the standard and shaping the taste of those who partake so freely of prepared music. They should not be so iron-clad in their views as to advocate one single style of music—however good it may be—for musical palates respond to different kinds of wholesome, well prepared music and it is almost as necessary to sometimes vary the style of music as it is to vary the kind of food in order to keep the body in the best condition. However, there is no middle ground in selecting helpful music records when it comes to a choice of classical or jazz music records. The choice should unquestioningly be given the classical. It is an established and indisputable fact that classical music (and there is much of it that is very tuneful and wholly pleasing even to the untrained ear) appeals to the head and heart while the jazz makes direct appeal to the feet and it requires but little thought to decide which should have the preference.

Slater was the choice of ten out of eleven of the western football critics, and Camp's failure to pick Slater comes as a surprise and a disappointment to the sport-loving world. Slater has demonstrated his ability to the world and has been proclaimed by such students of the game as Eckersall as one of the greatest tackles that ever wore the cleated shoes. Slater. Great Even in Defeat Slater's record will not soon fade from the minds of the football fans. With the mind's eye, he can still have tearing great holes through the lines of his opponents. He didn't make the All-American on Camp's team, but he made the All-American in the hearts of all who have seen him play who were not too prejudiced to give him justice. He is great in this moral defeat, great as Matthewson was when the dismal run of Snodgrass ruined his last world series it. Camp played the Snodgrass trick. But he is out All-American, the same. He earned it. Didn't he tell you? Additional Stage FINE SHOW COMING TO CAPITOL Billy King, heralded as the people's favorite comedian, and his company of 30 incomparable artists, opened an indefinite engagement at the Capitol Theatre, formerly called the New Anpollo, 47th Street at Forestville Avenue. Misgivings, expectancy and curiosity were all materialized at the opening Sunday night, regardless of the inclement weather, and the dull season which always strikes the amusement world a week before Christmas. The curtain went up to a capacity business. It is the first time in the history of theatricals that any standard attraction ever played south of 31st and State Street and 31st and Indiana Avenue. This adds another place of enjoyment for our people and they are showing their appreciation. The production offered the first nighters was called the "Friend In Need," a splendid opportunity for singing, dancing and comedy. From the moment the orchestra struck up, there was snap and speed to the show that speaks for real success. No matter how much speed the show is making, when Billy King comes on be always finds a higher gear for his comedy. He has an imminitable way of putting his staff over. The personnel of the company seems to be about the same as was in his former successes. The story is told in 2 acts staged in accordance with the modern exacting ideas of what is necessary for first-class production. The costumes are gorgeous and scenery delightful. The ensemble numbers carry a ton of harmony, splendidly handled by a well selected cast. Soloists, Margaret Scott, Anita Wilkins, Iola Young, Genevieve Stearn; comedy in the hands of the cleverest black face comedian in the business and Marshall Rodgers. Mr. King has opened up what the country is mostly in need of, and that is work, for actors, actresses, musicians and a complete crew of stage employees, ticket agent, ushers and other employees. It is up to the public to do their part. Next Sunday—"HELLO SUE." Musical Notes TO THE PUBLIC: Notice has been given to the majority of the members of the orchestra of the States and Owl Theatres. The claim of the management is that the Musicians' wage scale is too orbbitant to keep a larger orchestra than two men at these places. This is not true as the price asked for the musicians in these places is nominal and is only the same price asked by white musicians in white localities. It is now up to the public to insist that these two theatres carry a reasonable number of men in their orchestras and give to them the same services that they have been giving them heretofore. It is not the aim of the musician to gobble up everything that comes into the box office. It is as much his aim to perpetuate the business so that he may perpetuate his job. If we make it hard for the managers, we make it hard for ourselves and that is why we appeal to the managers of these two houses to reconsider their notice to these men and to maintain the orchestras at their former strength, as it will strengthen their business by giving the public good service, which cannot be given with piano and violin alone.

HONOR ROLL ENDS—Marshall, Minnesota, Williams, Brown; Bullock, Dartmouth; Scott, Hampton; Rivers, Talladega; Brock, Moorehouse. TACKLES—Savage, Moorehouse; Corker, Tuskegee; Aiken, Hampton; Slade, Union; Alexander, Iowa. GUARDS—Cleland, Howard; Goodgame, Moorehouse; Johns, Shaw. CENTERS—Lewis, Harvard; Pinkett, Amherst; Abbott, South Dakota State. BACKS—West, Washington and Jefferson; Law, Lincoln; Edwards, Talladega; Emerson, Tuskegee; Shelbourne, Dartmouth; Payton, Northwestern; Rigney, Hampton; Butler, Dubuque; Collins, Coe. In selecting an All-Time All-American Football Team, the writer has been able to base his selections on personal observation to a large extent, having played at Tuskegee in the South, and later with Drake University, a midwestern university, and then coaching at Hampton Institute. Where we could not rely upon personal observation, the consensus of opinion of the leading coaches of the East and South has been taken. This All-Time All-American selection is made up of a combination capable of playing every style of attack and defense known to modern football. Men have been chosen irrespective of their college connections, whether black or white, North or South, purely on their respective merit. It is practically all veteran material. There is no man on it who has not developed to the full possibilities of his position. It is a combination of strong, hard-hitting, powerful and experienced players, with a line of exceptional physique to lift and open holes, tight on defense, and with a backfield combining speed and power in running with strong interference for each other in a remarkable way; it has in the backfield men who not only make forward passes, but receive them. It has the most elusive halfback ever developed, who twists and squirms on and on after being tackled by two or three men who find that they have not tackled him after all. In addition to our All-Time All-American Team, we have also chosen the All-Time All-American Coach. Classy Field of Ends For the ends, we have a ciassy field to choose from. Robeson of Rutgers Gavle of Hampton, Williams of Brown Bullock, the old Dartmouth player Scott of Hampton, Rivers of Talladega, Marshall of Minnesota and Brock of Moorehouse. Robeson of Rutgers and Gavle of Hampton get the call. In them we have a pair of players of remarkable speed in getting down the field and covering kicks, both of them strong in breaking up and sifting through interference, both of them wizards at receiving the pass. Both are heavy and rangy, absolute essentials for ideal ends. Both have a superamount of courage. The tackle positions go to Duke Slater of Iowa, and Gideon Smith of the Michigan Aggies. Unquestionably these two star tackles are head and shoulders above their nearest rivals. During the last two years at Iowa Slater has compelled every opposing coach to use three and four men on him at one time, and all to no avail. Being a giant in stature, more than six feet high and well proportioned, he makes an ideal tackle. He uses his hands to perfection and is exceptionally fast for a man of his build. Some of the holes opened by Slater singlehanded would give plenty of room for the "proverbial wagon." Smith, playing the other tackle, is a different style player altogether. Not so powerful as Slater, he gets results by craftiness and speed. With a thorough knowledge of the game, he was always at the right place at the right time. He was a wonderful help to an end and one of the cleanest open field tacklers ever developed. Boxing him in was next to impossible and he was a terror to line-bucking fullbacks. Other tacklers deserving mention are Savage of Moorehouse; Corker of Tuskegee; Aiken of Hampton, and Slade of Union. The guard positions go to Ross of Nebraska and Morrison of Tufts. There have been fewer exceptional guards than any other class of players. Ross is probably the greatest guard we ever developed. He is one of the best defensive linemen of all time. Being almost as wide as he was tall, he presented a human "they shall not pass." The other guard goes to Dr. Morrison, the present Howard coach. Rangy crazity, with lots of experience and a love for the game, Morrison makes a fitting mate for Ross. He would keep the line always full of pep. Other good guards are Cleland of Howard; Goodgame, Moorehouse, and Johns of Shaw. Many Good Centers We have a number of good centers to choose from. Dabney of Hampton, Lewis of Harvard, Pinkett of Amherst, Abbott of South Dakota State and Bass of Meharry. From this list we unhesitatingly choose Dabney of Hampton. Steady, strong, aggressive, with a thorough knowledge of the game, Dabney makes an ideal center. On the defense "Red" would be used to back up the line. With the uncanny ability to almost "smell" where the play is going, "Red" makes an ideal loose center. If the coach desired, he might pull Robeson back for a "two-man secondary," and with this combination backing up the line, successful off-tackle plays and line smashes would be almost impossible. Great Backfield Now we come to the backfield, and here we have a wealth of material to pick from. To Pollard of Brown, without doubt, goes the first place in the backfield and the captaincy of the team. A most elusive back, far more so than any of the others, he still has plenty of power for straight line plunging and off-tackle plays. Excellent in receiving passes, quick at sizing up an opportunity, one of the deadliest tacklers ever developed, in fact capable of doing anything any halfback could ever be required to do in a well-night supportive fashion, Pollard goes down in history as the greatest player we ever produced. The other halfback position goes to Gray of Howard. The most versatile athlete ever developed at Howard. Adopt at receiving the pass, capable in every department of backfield plays, Gray would make an ideal running mate for Pollard. The fullback position goes to "Terrible Terry," also of Howard. Weighing over 200 pounds, fast, the greatest individual line plunger of them all, Terry fits perfectly in this machine. Other great backfield men are West of Washington and Jefferson; Law of Lincoln; Edwards of Talladega; Emerson of Tuskegee, Shelbourne of Dartmouth; Payton of Northwestern and Rigney of Hampton. The quarterback position, after much consideration goes to Lewis of Fisk. Lewis's great kicking gives him the call over the others. Besides his punting, Lewis was also a short and long distance drop kicker, with an excellent voice for calling signals, plenty of football brains, and perfect poise. Lewis is the ideal man to direct this wonderful machine. Great Offense With Robeson, Gayle, Pollard and Gray receiving Lewis's passes, Terry protecting Pollard, and Gray slipping off-tackles and circling the ends, and Terry always able to make his three yards through holes opened by Slater, Ross and Dabney, with a line that would give Lewis ample time to get off his drop kicks, the offensive strength of this great machine is well nigh perfect—who would not love to coach this combination? Which brings us to the coach. The writer feels that the selection of an All-Time All-American coach is but fitting and proper, and makes an excellent target for ambitious Shellbournes, Morrisons, Braggs and Puryears. As All-Time All-American coach, C. H. Williams, the Hampton mentor, gets the call. Williams possesses every requisite of an ideal coach. He spent three years at the Springfield Y. M. C. A. training school, and later graduated from the Department of Physical Training at Harvard University. Mr. Williams is a thorough student of the game, a perfect gentleman, and a man who inspires absolute respect and confidence not only from players but from the athletic public as well. His long record at Hampton not only as coach but as athletic organizer ably fits him for this choice. The Indiana Avenue Branch of the Young Women's Christian Association is continually thinking of the host of friends who make possible the many things by which the Association is able to minister to the girlhood of Chicago in terms of the four-fold program. Out of a population of 150,000 or more in Chicago, how much more can be done when others arise and follow this already persistent army of Christian women leading the way to a greater dawn!

These girls will be utterly disappointed to find that the citizens of the community are not bubbling over with enthusiasm when they in their own conception are doing a splendid thing which will ultimately react in the uplifting of an ideal in the community.

As a final close to the 1921 football season, the Howard University football skuad held its annual banquet at the Whiteley Hotel, Thursday evening December 15, 1921, at which time "Bull Dog" Williams, star left end, was elected captain of the varsity squad for the season of 1922. Captain Williams, who was recently injured in the institute-West Virginia game, is now rapidly convalescing. His election to captaincy for the coming football season came by a unanimous vote and is a well-merited recognition by his teammates. John E. Smith, a member of the class of 1923, was elected to serve as student manager. For the very efficient work of Assistant Manager Samuel Cheevers, the squad voted that he should be given a special varsity H. In connection with the banquet to the varsity squad, a most interesting program was arranged, with Major M. T. Dean, head of the Department of Physical Education, as toastmaster. The program included the special "Team Song": a speech by Captain Emmason D. Fuller of the 1921 squad; a toast to the university by Fullback Payne; responses by members of the varsity squad; singing of the Alma Mater; remarks by Coach W. E. Morrison, and a speech by Captain-Elect Williams, ending with the Howard yell The versity men awarded letters for the 1921 season are: John R. Nurse, end; Albert Brooks, tackle; E. C. Melton, guard; Leo Holton, center; Frederick Crawford, guard; Emmason Fuller, tackle (captain); Dennis Smith end; Ernest Johnson, guard; William Kean, quarterback; Pezavia Hardwick quarterback; Raymond E. Contee, haliback; Aaron H. Payne, fullback; Charles Doneghy, halback; L. L. Melton, halback; Marritt C. Molson, halback. E. Gaylord Howell, student manager, was given a letter for efficient work and co-operation with players The assistant managers, Samuel Cheevers, John E. Smith and Robert Craft, were awarded numerals.

Efforts on the part of a certain daily newspaper to force a fight between Jack Dempsey and Harry Wills have elicited much comment from boxers and followers of the fistic game. Among those commenting upon the outcome of such a fight was Sam Langford, well known in Chicago. Langford, who is one of the greatest fighters of all time, and who has two knockouts over Wills to his credit, says: "Wills cannot whip me now, let alone beat the champion. I have stopped Harry on two occasions and can do it again in a long battle." Wills "Is Not Ready, Says Carr Howard Carr, better known to Chicago boxing fans as "Kid" Howard declared that Wills is not in the same class with Dempsey.

Mayo "Ink" Williams The Chicago Defenders added another victory to their list on Monday at the Armory when they met and defeated a pickup team, representing New York State's Basketball League, before hundreds of enthusiastic fans, by a score of 42 to 9. The result of the game was never in doubt as the New Yorkers displayed lack of form in the beginning, and even in practice showed anything but a team worthy of a combat with the Mighty Defenders, who proved on Monday that they have one of the greatest basketball aggregations which ever darted across a court. Before the game was many minutes old Dr. Johnson, manager, substituted an entire sub-team for his "varsity" and even the reserves were superior to the boys from Gotham. Even the Roamer Girls, who defeated the Defender Midgets, would have been more worthy opponents than the New Yorkers. Despite the disappointment of the New Yorkers the Defenders offset the blue evening by thrilling the crowd with their individual and team play which reached perfection. Never before was such artful team work seen on a local floor, and the fans are anxious for the next game which will undoubtedly bring out the real strength of the powerful Defenders.

The game was fast and without a doubt the most bitterly fought battle ever staged as an opening of the bas- [Name] gro heavyweight championship, and it is just possible he is a little prejudiced. Only recently Tate and Wills fought a twelve-round draw at Denver, and they have been rematched for a battle at Portland, Ore, on Jan. 2. "Wills is far from being ready to step into the ring with Dempsey," Carr said. "If Tate had been in better condition during the Denver fight with Wills he would have beaten Harry. After the sixth round Bill was so tired he could scarcely lift his hands in defense. Despite Tate's poor condition, Wills was unable to put him away. "Dempsey is too hard a puncher for Wills. Jack could take all that Harry could doole out and then the champion would batter him down with punches to the head and body. I don't know a heavyweight who has a chance with Dempsey." ably the highest cultural attainment of the ring. Most of our ring stars register high when they can play the phonograph and speak at English. The colleges which are training the intelligencia will allow a colored boy to show what he can do, but the ring will not. It is not bad for the football field to have a Negro star, but it is bad for the ring to take a chance of having a Negro champion.

However, as hard and as rough as the game was, it was full of those exciting moments held dear to the heart of the basketball loving fan. Both teams took the floor confident of coming off the winner. Oberlin, because they have never been defeated by a Cleveland team; Swastika because it was their first game against the fast Oberlin quintet. Oberlin marked up the first point by the free throw route. They countered again within a minute by the same method. Then Swastika tied the count at 2-all and went into the lead on Bruce's pretty toss from a difficult angle and Hampton's perfect free throw. From then on the Swastikas managed to keep the lead, even though they could not obtain a decided advantage in the scoring, Oberlin keeping within one or two baskets of them at all times. The first half ended with the Swastikas on the larger end of a 12 to 10 score. The crowd was one of the largest ever attending a basketball game in Cleveland and speaks well for the future of winter's leading athletic diversion. After the game, dancing was indulged in until 12:30. All Cleveland is waiting for the Xmas. Monday night game, when the Swastikas meet the lightning five from Detroit, the champs of Michigan State.

WITH DUE REGARD FOR RIGHT, WITH PURITY OF MOTIVE IN OUR EXPRESSION, WITH CONSCIENTOUS. 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. Shut Up; Get Busy In by-gone days on the Mississippi River it was noticed of a certain diminutive side-wheeler, which boasted a large brass whistle, much out of proportion to the size of the boat, that whenever the whistle blew, which was loud, long and often, the paddle wheels stopped turning, and the little boat remained stationary the while. The boilers did not make steam enough to blow such a loud whistle and make progress up river at the same time. The American black man has so long been blowing his showy brass whistle of empty discussion that the paddle wheels of construction have been stayed. His verbosity is proverbial. His lack of constructive, organized effort is apparent. He will stop on street corners, in restaurants, barber shops, pool rooms, drug stores, in fact wherever he can get a hearing and elaborate at length the most trivial topic. He will consume hours in the most solemn conclaves of church, state, fraternity, or society, upon a point of order. A dispute over a question of procedure has disrupted many in organization when the point at issue had no relation to the aims of the policy of the body politic. His love for elaborate form and ceremony and his weakness for high-sounding titles and splendid regalia have crowded from his mind the importance of constructive effort. The ringing resonance of his naturally oratorical voice has deceived him into belief that words are greater than deeds. His splendid physique which enables him to wear striking regalia to advantage has filled him with the deception that appearances mean more than actual values. No race has yet become great by reason of its orators and entertainers. Such attainments come as the capstone, and not as the foundation of racial greatness. The boilers of the black man's economic engine are not large enough to make steam enough to propel him against the ever-increasing resistance of competition and race prejudice and at the same time blow such a loud whistle of ostentatious oratory. His present crying need is fewer words and more deeds. All of his steam is needed for the purposes of propulsion in the form of intelligent organization. If so much of his strength had not been thus criminally wasted, the black man would not be today the Great American Beggar. Instead of praying for alms in the voice of a mendicant, he could voice his demands in unwavering tones. If he had been economically organized, Booker Washington's dinner with Theodore Roosevelt would have been accepted by white America as a conference between equals, and not as an instance of gracious condescension on one hand, and grateful acceptance on the other. Likewise, the thunderings of Monroe Trotter and the bitter shrieks of DuBois would sound more like the demands of a strong man than the wailings of a peevish child. Shut off That Blast of Inane Bickering and Empty Small Talk! Tear down that Glint and Glare of Showy Brass and Tinsel! Direct Your Effort Toward Propulsion! Thanks be to God, a NEW Type is appearing, An Iconoclast, An Idol Breaker, who cares not for sounding brass or tinkling cymbal, who has Sworn over the Ashes of his Fathers and at the Temples of his Gods, that the days of the Pompous, Strutting Comedian and the Idle, Bickering Small-Talker, ARE NUMBERED. Jesus of Nazareth On Christmas Day we celebrate the birthday of the Immortal Christ. His life is held up to the world as an immaculate criterion by which the feet of men may be guided. His teachings are unapproachable, and at this time the world can learn much from the example that he set for all humanity. His sacrifice, his unselfishness and his great love and sympathy for his brothers have laid the foundations for the ultimate emancipation and salvation of all who breathe the air of the universe. Let us pause for a few minutes in the hustle and bustle of life and ponder over the supreme sacrifice that Christ made. Let us think of the happiness that he brought to the miserable, the wretched and the tortured. Let us pause from the wild and wanton fashion of Christmas cheer and soberly and suppliantly thank God for the teachings of Christ, which teachings will redeem the world from sin and corruption, which will solve the problems of race, color and creed. Let us pray that the heart of the world will be softened and that human kind will learn and live by the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, who came to us on this day, nearly two thousand years ago. FN TORIAL HEALTH HINTS By Dr. Troy Smith COFFEE DRINKERS COFFEE DRINKERS Numerous readers of "The Whip" have written me inquiries concerning the effects of coffee upon the human system. It is, indeed, an impossibility for one to lay down regarding the physiological effects of coffee. A rule for one individual may in no way apply to everybody. In certain individuals, coffee in moderate amounts does no harm; in fact, if taken in moderation, it has beneficial effects. All brands of coffee contain ester and tannin, which are the most expensive brands. The difference in the different brands is in the flavor. You may more for the flavor. A. B. C. The percentage of caffeine in coffee is from about 0.6-0.7 per cent; in other words, there are about 1½ to 3 grains of caffeine in a cup of coffee. Tea, on the other hand, contains more caffeine than coffee—about 1½ to 2 per cent, but as less tea is used than coffee, each cup contains about as much caffeine as a cup of coffee, 1½ to 3 grains. The wakefulness and the relief from fatigue which are produced by tea and coffee are undoubtedly due to the caffeine contained in them, and are to be ascribed to its stimulating effect upon the brain cells. This is the reason that many coffee and tea drinkers fail to sleep well when they drink coffee or tea at night. On the other hand, the best time to drink tea or coffee is in the morning or at noon. Cocoa does not contain caffeine, and those who complain of wakefulness from drinking coffee may find chocolate a very good substitute. As far as food value is concerned, there is very little food value in either tea, coffee or cocoa. The three are made nourishing by the addition of cream and sugar. The cream and sugar in the above beverages are fattening. So those that are trying to reduce should leave out the cream and sugar. Contra-Indications In cases of extreme nervousness or in cases where the heart is already beating too rapidly, it is best not to over-indulge in the drinking of coffee. Excessive tea drinking may cause disturbance in the stomach digestion. This is explained by the tannic acid found in tea. In conclusion, I see no reason why the moderate use of the above beverages should not be tolerated. It is best not to give coffee or tea to children under 14 years of age. Let them drink plenty of milk. WEEK'S BEST EDITORIAL FEDERAL SUPPRESSION OF LYNCHING Doubts appear to be entertained respecting the constitutionality of the anti-lynching bill now before Congress. It is asked on what ground the national government claims authority to punish not only individuals who participate in the murders called lynchings, but also elected officials who, because of cowardice, supposed political expediency or other unworthy reason, fail to do their utmost, within the law, to prevent threatened lynching. It is asked further how the national government can claim authority to punish the counties themselves in which lynchings occur by inflicting fines not exceeding $10,000 for the benefit of the families of victims of mob violence. The theory of the bill is that Congress has power to enact any legislation that may be deemed necessary or appropriate to the effective enforcement of the constitutional provision requiring the several states to accord to all persons the equal protection of the laws. Manifestly a lynching is a denial of equal protection. If counties or county officials, by positive acts or by failure to act, contribute to lynchings, has not Congress the power to penalize them as well as the individual lynchers? The answer of many able lawyers is in the affirmative. Hence Congress can pass the pending bill with a good conscience, doubts of other lawyers to the contrary notwithstanding. After all, the United States Supreme Court, not Congress, has the ultimate responsibility of sustaining or annulling legislation that is challenged on constitutional points. Congress is not only justified in responding, but is morally obligated to respond to the strong public sentiment, north and south, which demands the adoption of effective measures against mob rule and mob murder.* Morally, the bill is admirable. Nice legal questions should be resolved in its favor by Congress. The courts will deal with those questions when they are afforded the opportunity.—Chicago Daily News. UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP G. A. Rau, student of Columbia University, was set upon last Thursday and beaten by the New York K. K. K. It is deplorable and disgusting to observe how the K. K. K. are allowed to perpetuate their reign of terror and escape punishment. The radicals who threw the bomb in Wall Street were traced even into Soviet Russia and apprehended by the American sleuthhounds, but they can't trap the wily Klansmen. Maybe they don't think that the tar and lash of masked knights are doing the country any harm. If the lynch law is tolerated, why not the K. K. K.? Whenever a young man gets up and makes a fiery speech, some old sycophantic ex-slave will shake his hoary locks and mumble out, "He is too radical and when he gets older he will be tamed down." When old age comes and the mind grows dull and the blood thin, naturally, some of the fire and ardor of youth dies out, but the old should feel proud of their young who are willing to sacrifice for the Ideals for which men crave. While Dr. Osler's "chloroform the old theory" is inhuman and out of shape with civilization, still, some virtue perhaps lies in the learned doctor's principle. In the political world revelations are coming thick and fast to the black people in America. Some can't understand the attitude of the Republican party and feel that there is some hidden method in their madness. There is a method, but it is not hidden—it is notoriously open. The method is to secure the Southern vote and good will and sacrifice the black man on the altar of American prejudice. It does not follow, however, that the black man will be eliminated as a political factor if he plays the game as it should be played. Split your ticket and your candidates finance as far as possible their campaigns. In the vice cleanup in Chicago, particularly in the South Side, the officials have failed yet to "run in" the most brazen dives in the community. This practice will avail the city nothing. Vice must be hit wherever it is found, and the purification of the black man's morals will not save the white sinner's souls. SAYS CHURCH WILL FURNISH MAJORITY OF RACE LEADERS BOOK REVIEW Woodson's History of Negro Church Makes Startling Disclosures. this way as well as any other, so I dropped Hertha into the Williams' cabin. For years to come the church will furnish the majority of leaders of the Negro Race is the belief expressed by Dr. Carter G. Woodson in a new book just published entitled "The History of the Negro Church." While the author sees in the record of the church reasons for hope that the institution will continue to figure in the life of the Negro as a conspicuous factor, yet he does not hesitate to consider the faults and shortcomings of the institution. I have had many nice things said to me about my novel, but I have also frequently met with the comment, "Why didn't you make your heroine more interesting? Why didn't you depict a stronger character?" Well, I didn't because I wanted to put her in contrast with her sister, Ellen, the colored teacher, who was working night and day for the uplift of the community in which she lived. It was perfectly natural that the slender, high-bred white girl, of a pretty but weak mother, should not be roused to any effort for the betterment of conditions about her, while the stronger, more virile, colored girl, trained to the ideal of service, should be a power for good in her community. It was the girl of white blood who was about to enter into illicit relations with a white man when a turn of fortune saved her, and it was the same girl, who, when she came North and entered the labor world, failed again to grasp the need of concerted effort to better the horrors of poverty. She did not have the breadth of vision, the larger outlook upon life, of the colored school teacher or the Irish labor leader. If, however, my readers do not feel that she proved a true-hearted woman in the end, then my book is a failure indeed. "THE SHADOW" - By Mary White Owington. Published by Harcourt; Brace and Howe, New York City; Price $2.00; postage 10 cents. It is a little over a year since my novel, "The Shadow," was published, and I have had a number of persons ask me the question, "How did you come to write it?" Now, as one is always flattered by being questioned recording one's literary work, I have thought that my friends might be glad to have the reason why my fancy took the form it did. For my plot is unusual. We have had many white heroines turn out to be black, but as far as I know not until I wrote "The Shadow" has a black heroine turned out to be white. I chose this plot for a particular reason. The startling feature of the book is the mass of valuable information generally unknown to the public. Although not a churchman himself, Dr Woodson has made the denominations acquainted with themselves. The work contains so many facts culled from rare sources that it compels the attention of everyone intelligently interested in the history of the race. The book is well-illustrated, and is undoubtedly the History of the Negro Church for which the public has long been waiting. There have been produced many volumes in this same field, but none like this work. Without denominational bias it treats in a gripping manner the strivings of the Christian Negroes after an ideal, which they have for centuries endeavored to attain by the development of their church. There is an interesting panorama of the coming of the missionaries, the conversion of the slaves, the rise of the Negro preacher, the independent church movement, the untoward condition of the neglected bondmen, the role played by the Negro churchman in freedom and what the Church is doing today. On the whole, this work actually establishes the claims of Dr. Woodson as an authority in a new field. His previous works "The Education of the Negro Prior to 1861," "A Century of Negro Migration" and his work as Editor of the "Journal of Negro History" have been widely read by both white and colored people who have been interested in the history and development of the Negro race. It has been my good fortune to know with some intimacy the world of the better class of colored folk. I have seen their attractive homes, I have noted their charm of manner, I have admired beyond expression their ambition for their children. I wanted to show this to the reading world when I wrote. But how? I feared that the public would not yet stand for a heroine who was colored, at least not the kind that I would want to draw. They might be prejudiced against a serious story dealing with the ambitions and loves of the colored folk. How then could I depict these characteristics and make my novel acceptable to the general reading public? Mr. Walter F. White returns from London bringing me a huge poster to be carried on newstands from the English magazine, Outward Bound. It runs like this: New Serial Back, far back, in my mind was a story that I had heard of an illegitimate child, a white girl, who was hidden among colored people that all trace might be lost of her birth. This story, as told to me, described a sordid childhood. But why, I argued, could not the child have been reared by intelligent, high-minded Nagroes? There was no reason why it might not be Since Uncle Tom's Cabin One Shilling. For Sale Everywhere. The English people are keenly interested in our race problem and are eager to read the latest word concerning it. This is surely a good sign, for what we need is a study of race in its broadest aspect by the people of the world.
