WILLIS-TATEFIGHTBYROUNDS-SPORTPAGE KILLER FLEES IN GIRL'S DRESS PRICE 5 CENTS SCOUR EAST FOR MAN WHO KILLED TWO New York's Tommy O'Connor Sets Police Force On Ears. NEW YORK CITY, Jan. 14—The entire east is agog in a determined search for Luther Boddy, a desperate gunman, who last week killed two detectives and made his getaway in the heart of Harlem. Boddy, who has a long criminal record, also seems to have a remarkable immunity record, and word has been sent out to bring him in, dead or alive, preferably dead. Many false clues have been given the police, but as yet the search has been in vain. A taxicab chauffeur in New Jersey reported to the police that Boddy dressed in woman's clothing, stopped his car, saying, "I'm Boddy, the gunman," and demanded to be driven away through the woods. At the end of the drive Boddy leaped to the ground and disappeared in the woods. The tale of the murder on the sidewalk was told to the Grand Jury by witnesses who had heard its beginning and seen its end. It was already known that Detectives Miller and Buckley were looking for the man who had shot a policeman a little while before Christmas, and with Boddy's notorious record in mind, a record of three arrests for burglary and immunity after every crime, they had concluded it might be useful to question him. They found him in Public School 89, at Lenox Avenue and 134th Street, as he was about to report as a paroled man to the parole officer in the building, to offer the usual pattern: "I've been good—haven't done a thing." All the while he carried in a special holster strapped under his left arm, close against his side, an automatic pistol, apparently of 45 caliber judging from the roar it made when Miller and Buckley fell a few minutes after they had picked up their man. Failed to Iron Prisoner. Why they were so careless as to walk him between them without hand-huffing him or without firmly gripping his arms is one of the small puzzles that await the judgment day. But they didn't, and died for their carelessness. Fifty feet from the police station Boddy leaped suddenly backward and shot as a rattlesnake strikes, too fast for the detectives to make a move for their own guns or even to leap aside. Then he sprinted desperately, bursting through a forming crowd, slapping several of them out of his path, kicking at others, cursing and mouthing. Policeman Connolly had followed him half a block and was ready to shoot, but he got no fair chance, and then Boddy lost himself. While every effort was made, including that of blood transfusion, to save the life of Buckley, shot through the intestines, the hunt for Boddy formed systematically, with cold precision. Chief Inspector Lahey was at the West 135th Street Station within two hours after the shooting to take general command of the search. Inspector Coughlin and Capt. Arthur Carey, expert man hunters, planned the details. In a vast sprawling district, mostly filled with tenement houses, many of which are known to the police to have criminal hideouts in cellars and secret passageways, and where roofs connect for blocks, giving access to a wilderness of skylight getaway, 300 plain clothes men were thrown, and every man went into the hunt with a blue barreled gun ready in his right hand. In addition to the special forces searching the district. Lahey sent out the usual general alarm, so that 11,000 policemen, more or less, in the course of the day scanned the streets and the bayways and scrutinizing passersby at the gateways of the city for any one at all resembling the murderer. Harlem was in an unroar early during the search for Boddy. The police in their haste and anger were not always gentle with those that answered slyly or stupidly. On the whole they did the best they could to assure the residents of the district that no one had anything to fear who wasn't trying to protect Boddy or who was not concealing information about him. It was Boddy's amazing record of escaping punishment that attracted instant attention. District Attorney Banton, who found four portfolios of documents concerning the nineteen-year-old criminal among the records of the office, obtained from the Police Department and his own files as com- (Continued on page 2.)

Call 'Linc' Poison Ivy of Politics Washington, Jan. 14.—Henry Lincoln Johnson, the famous "Georgia Peach," has received a new political subjunct. He is no longer tamiarly known as the "Georgia Peach," his new name is "The Poison Ivy of Politics." Whomever Linc touches, everybody else drops like poison ivy, it is said. The latest unfortunate to receive the kiss of death from the once powerful boss is said to be William C. Matthews, of Massachusetts. After Johnson's rejection for the post of Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, Matthews was pushed forward for the appointment. He received the support of Senator Lodge, and his appointment seemed certain. When it was found, however, that he was also sponsored by Lince Johnson, he lost the support of those who might have gained the appointment for him, and he is today out of the running. Among other aspirants for the position are C. H. Lott, of Indiana, and Col. John R. Marshall, of Chicago. Col. Marshall is said to be backed by Senator McCormick and Congressman McKinley. MURDERS WIFE ON WAY HOME FROM CHURCH Washington, Jan. 14.—Mrs. Genevieve Young of 1520 T Street N. W., was shot to death early Tuesday morning in front of 1440 T Street. Mrs. Young was well known in church circles and sang in the choir of John Wesley Church. Her body was found by pedestrians who stumbled over it on the street. Mrs. Young, Monday evening, went to the home of a friend and later is said to have phoned her husband that she would spend the night there. Her husband, however, called for her about 2 o'clock a.m. and demanded that she accompany him home. Not desiring a scene, she dressed and started with him. She never reached her home, however, as she was found dead about 4 o'clock a.m. Her husband has not been seen since and it is therefore believed that he killed her. A nationwide search has been instituted for him and the authorities have charged him with the crime. HOLD MONSTER EMANCIPA- TION PARADE PLTTSBURGH, PA., Jan. 14.—In spite of bitter cold, thousands of people turned out here to witness a monster Emancipation parade on Jan. 1.

CHICAGO, SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 1922 RESCUE HIGH WIVES FIGHT SCHOOL GIRL OVER ESTATE FROM FLAT OF DEAD MAN Police Break Up Romance of Girl Who Forsook School For Lover. Police entered an apartment at 4933 Indiana Avenue Thursday mornig and rescued an Englewood High School girl who had mysteriously disappeared from home Christmas Day and was living there as the wife of Andrew Lee, a stockyards employee. The girl was Ivy Elliot. 16 years of age, who was brought to this country two years ago from Jamaica by her father, Edward Elliot. She is a member of the freshman class at the Englewood High School. Disappeared Christmas Day. Christmas Day the girl disappeared, leaving a note for her aunt, Miss Meta Elliott, 6518 Champlain Avenue, with whom she was living. In the note the girl told her aunt not to worry about her to try to look for her because she would be well taken care of. It was found that she had been meeting Lee in secret, and the Keystone Detective Agency was retained to locate the pair. Thursday morning Keystone operatives in company with Detectives Doyle, Corcoran, and Burns located the girl at the Indiana Avenue apartment. Lee was arrested later. In the Stock Yards court Tuesday morning he was held to the grand jury in $5,000 bonds under charges of contributing to the delinquency of a female minor. The girl is being held in the Juvenile Home as a witness against him pending the grand jury's action. 'USUAL CRIME' ARGUMENT IS UNTRUE Small Percentage of Lynched Men Charged With Assault. Washington, Jan. 12.—Into debate upon the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, H.R. 13, which is now before the House of Representatives, certain Southern Democratic members have injected the question of lynching as a preventive of "the usual crime," namely, assaults by colored men upon white women. Only 16 Per Cent Charged With Assault. Statistics collected by the N. A. A. C. P. of lynchings since 1889 show that of the 3,436 victims of lynch mobs, from 1889 to January 1, 1922, only 16.6 per cent had even been accused of assault. That is to say, that, roughly, five out of every six persons publicly murdered were not even accused of "the usual crime." Furthermore, since 1889 some 64 women were publicly lynched. These figures are sufficient commentary on the now antiquated talk about "the usual crime" as a cause of lynching. Most American citizens, white and colored, are aware of the facts, but the revival of the old falsehoods on the floor of the House of Representatives impels us to make these facts available. Is Constitutional. The other main obstacle to the passage of the bill, is argument on its constitutionality. This question, it seems to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, ought to be left to the Supreme Court, as the Department of Justice, through Judge Guy D. Goff, and Attorney-General Daugherty is on record as holding the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill to be constitutional, and the House Committee on the Judiciary has also so declared. Call On Court To Settle Estate of Man Who Had Two Wives. Judge Lynch's Branch of the Circuit Court was the scene last week of a spirited fight between the two wives of Luke M. Anderson, each attempting to establish the contention that she was legally entitled to the estate of the husband. Mrs. Helen Anderson, 2304 Dearborn Street, the first wife won the first round in her battle against Mrs. Marie Hampton Anderson, 2604 Prairie Avenue, wife number two, when Judge Lynch denied a motion to dissolve an injunction which would keep the estate out of the hands of wife number two. Ignorant of Second Marriage. Mrs. Helen Anderson, who was Anderson's first wife, and who contends that she is entitled to her husband's estate in its entirety, sets forth in her petition that her husband obtained a divorce from her without her knowledge in May, 1920, and remarried in Crown Point, Ind., in August of the same year. It was discovered from the records of the court that notice of the divorce had been sent to Mrs. Anderson No. 1, but to an address where she and her husband had not lived for several years. She also claims that her husband's second marriage was illegal inasmuch as he remarried within a year after securing a divorce. $10,000 At Stake. Anderson's estate consists of a $10,000 life insurance policy issued by the Aetna Life Insurance Company, of Hartford, Conn. Mrs. Anderson No. 1 is represented by Atty. Richard E. Westbrooks, while wife No. 2 is represented by Attys. Stearns, Farish, Fisher, Boyden, Kales & Bell. WantSeparate Doors to Jim Crow Trolleys NASHVILLE, TENN., Jan. 12. On the third of this month a Jim Crow ordinance was introduced before the city council by Hines, one of the councilmen, and referred to a special committee consisting of Hines, Yarbrough and Willard. This ordinance goes farther than the already existing one to provide that a portion of each car should be set apart for each race and that strict segregation be enforced. Large printed and movable signs are to be used and the entrances also are to be separate. It is to take effect thirty days after passage. To Replace Burned School Building ANNISTON, ALA, Jan. 14.—Plans are being prepared and work is to start shortly on the new buildings for the Barber Memorial Seminary for girls here to replace the building destroyed by fire several months ago. This was learned from President Shearer, who has been at work arranging for the rebuilding of the school. The new building will cost approximately $100,000 and will be modern and of practically the same size as the one destroyed. The school has been twice destroyed by fire and its second destruction was laid to incendiarism, several expelled pupils being suspected, but no arrests were made.

Early in the afternoon Miss Mander became affected with a slight illness and sent a bellboy to the drug store for medicine. What he brought back proved later to be bed-bug poison. After taking two doses the girl discovered that she was taking poison instead of medicine. Doctors were hurriedly called and her life was saved. Boy, 5, Shoots 2-Yr. Brother To Death A five-year-old boy having seen his father handle a revolver, got out of bed Monday night, took the revolver and killed his two-year-old brother, who was sleeping by his side. The boy was Edward Alexander, 3616 Vincennes Ave. He was sleeping with his younger brother, Thurman, two years of age. After Thurman had fallen asleep, the older boy arose from bed, got his father's revolver, and shot the sleeping boy through the left lung. He died almost immediately. Inquest over the body was continued Tuesday morning to Jan. 17. Jilted Lover Kills Girl In Home PITTSBURGH, PA., Jan. 14.—The appearance of a rival who met with favor in the eyes of his sweetheart is said to be the cause of a tragedy in the home of Thomas Garrison, 172 Main Street, Sharpsburg, when George Pritchard, 603 Leonora Street, killed Miss Fairy Walker, pretty 23-year-old girl, and shot himself, almost fatally. The tragedy occurred in the home of the brother-in-law of the slain girl. According to Garrison, the two had been sweethearts for some time, but the girl's affections began to wane upon the appearance of another man. The affair assumed serious proportions last Saturday, and the two quarrelled continuously. While the rest of the members of the family were absent, Pritchard seized a revolver, killing the girl, and then turning the gun on himself. Latest reports are to the effect that he may not recover. Trusty Stops Mutiny, Saves Guard's Life Trusty Stops Mutiny, Saves Guard's Life YORK, S. C., Jan, 14—Only the loyalty, presence of mind and daring of Bud McDaniel, trusty, who covered the convicts with the wounded man's gun and defied any one to move on penalty of instant death, prevented the escape of a squad of 12 white chain-gang prisoners near York this morning, after one of their number, John Reid, had knocked Guard James Robinson unconscious with a blow on the head from an axe. McDaniel held the mutinous convicts at bay until help arrived as the result of summons carried to a nearby farm house by Onie Grier, another trusty. Mrs. Florence Noble, 34, 3512 Michigan Ave., while intoxicated Saturday, drank a dose of poison anti-septic. Whether she drank the dose accidentally or with suicidal intent has not been ascertained. She was treated at the Provident Hospital. Chicago's Most Popular and Widely Read Weekly DRESS Politics CAMPAIGN IS LAUNCHED FOR 1924 --- --- --- Drinks Antiseptic PRICE FIVE CENTS Plan to Force G.

Measures, Not Men Are to Be Supported A large assembly of prominent citizens turned out on January 3, at 8 p.m., in the specially appointed quarters in the Roosevelt Bank Bldg., at 35th and Grand Blvd., for the purpose of preparing themselves for the political contingencies of the hour. The new organization advises that the people of Chicago begin now to establish themselves for the gruelling contest which will begin a couple of years hence. The body has adopted for its name the "Nineteen Twenty-Four Republican League of the First Congressional District." Among those who are prominently engaged in laying the foundation for the new organization are Assistant Attorney General Franklin A. Denison, Attorney Harris B Gains, Attorney J. Harold Mosely, Editor Jos. D. Bibb of the Chicago Whip, Whip, Ada McKinley, Mrs. Olivia Bush-Banks, W. D. Houston, Will N. Johnson, W. D. Johnson, Attorney Earl B. Dickerson, Fred Platt, B. W.

League Rides for One Hundred and League Bids for One Hundred and Sixty Thousand The new league makes an open bid for the whole population of the First Congressional District and while no color prejudice is invoked the league has no hesitancy in proclaiming that the black people of this district can be best served in Congress by one of their own number and feels that a signal victory can and will be accomplished by the support of the people for whom they are contending. One speaker remarked that Germany began its preparation for the World War in 1870 and that the black people were already late in starting plans for 1924. The new organization seems to be bent on great things. La.Court May Take Woman's Oil Well NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 14.—Arguments again will be heard in the famous Lillie G. Taylor oil land dispute Monday morning in the State Supreme Court, when the rehearing granted the state is opened. Mrs. Lillie Taylor was awarded oil lands in Claiborne parish said to be worth $15,000,000 by a former decision of the Supreme Court on which a rehearing was asked. Lillie Taylor won the lands said to compose 160 acres in the valuable Homer oil field, as the natural child of Lona McGee, white, who died in 1905. She was said to have been acknowledged as the natural child of Lona and 15om McGee, who owned the lands now in dispute. Possession of the lands was won in the Claiborne parish court under a decision by Judge J. E. Reynolds, but was appealed to the Supreme Court by the attorney general for the state, George West, who had been in possession of the land for many years, and others. The Supreme Court upheld Judge Claiborne's decision. COMMITS SUICIDE KNOXVILLE, TENN., Jan. 12.—Albert Staple, 30 years of age, committed suicide at his room in the rear of the house at 2111 Yale Avenue, West Knoxville. He was found dead when parties entered his room. A bullet hit in his head was discovered, which apparently caused death instantly. No cause is assigned for the rash act. The pistol which was found in the room with one empty chamber was a 22 caliber. The Dixie Flyer PRICE BULLETIN SCOUR EAST FOR MAN WHO KILLED TWO (Continued from page 1.) plete a record as was possile to get. Here it is as issued by the District Attorney; Ludby Boddy, who shot and killed Detectives Buckley and Miller last night, has this record: Plead guilty on January 10, 1919, to unlawful entry before Judge McIntyre in Court of General Sessions, Part I. At the same time there was taken into consideration an indictment of December 20, 1918, charging him with burglary. He was rearrested April 18, 1919, charged with grand larceny, but was discharged on his own recognizance on May 21, 1919, because the evidence was insufficient to convict. He was also arrested November 1, 1918, together with another person, charged with burglary, but the Grand Jury dismissed the complaint against him November 8, 1918, and indicted his codefendant." Boddy's criminal record appears to have extended to Montclair, where with Newark and other nearby Jersey towns the search for him was proceeding also last night. The police here are informed that Boddy formerly lived in Bay Street, Montclair, with his mother and brother. In June, 1919, he was sentenced by Recorder Henry L. Yost of Montclair to the Rahway Reformatory on charges of breaking and entering. Apparently he was released on parole from the Rahway Reformatory and has not been in Montclair for more than a year. BLAMES CAPITALISM FOR PARTITION OF AFRICA NEW YORK, Jan. 14.—Bishop George Alexander McGuire, Bishop of the African Orthodox Church, denounced the capitalist-imperialist system as in violation of the Divine Will and directly responsible for the present ills of the masses of all races as well as for the partition and subjugation of Africa. The occasion was his watch-night sermon to the congregation of the Church of the Good Shepherd, 224 West 135th Street, on Old Year's Night. The building was packed to the doors.

Fine KEAN Calumet 250 --- Danger Of Lynching Thwarted Extraditions To South In Many Cases Deputies Guard Man FIND LOVE LETTERS IN From Coast Mob LYNCHEDMAN'SPOCKET NEW YORK CITY, Jan. 14—Anti- lynching laws enacted in two states during 1921 are announced in the twelfth annual report of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, made public today. One of the laws was enacted in West Virginia and the other in Minnesota. The Minnesota law makes recoverable, from a county in which lynching occurs, the sum of $7,500, and renders officers, permitting prisoners to be lynched, liable to removal by the Governor of the State. . The Association further announced that the sum of $33,928.56 had been spent in its ten-year fight against lynching in the United States and that in the course of this fight 2,000 public meetings had been held, attended by more than 3,000,000 persons. According to the association's report, a number of extraditions of Negroes from northern to southern states have been prevented during the year, on the ground that the colored prisoners might be lynched or would not be given fair trials if returned to southern jurisdictions. One case mentioned is that of Thomas Ray, whose extradition to Georgia was refused by Governor Groesbeck of Michigan after representations had been made by attorneys for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Extradition of one colored man, Will Whitfield, from New York to North Carolina, is still being fought by the Association. Extradition of Ed Knox, from Charleston, West Virginia, to Tennessee was prevented when it was proved that one man had previously Deputies Guard Man From Coast Mob Deputies Guard Man from Coast Guard LOS ANGELES, Jan. 14.—Reports that a vengeful mob was organizing to lynch John Allen, slayer of Henry J. Ronsee, resulted in the detailing of half a hundred officers and deputy sheriffs to guard the prisoner during the inquest over the body of the slain man. The coroner's verdict was that the victim came to his death from bullet wounds inflicted by Allen, but could not determine whether the slaying was murder or justifiable homicide. A man's fool friends cause him almost as much trouble as his wise enemies.

The report also states that the Secretary of the Association, James Weldon Johnson, repeatedly called upon President Harding who was prevailed upon to incorporate an appeal for the ending of lynching in his message of April 12. In the course of the fight conducted by the Association against the Ku Klux Klan, the report states, the showing of "The Birth of a Nation" film has been stopped in California, was discontinued in Boston by order of the Mayor, and the right of colored people to picket the theaters in which the film was shown in New York was vindicated in court. Through its country-wide membership the Association collected facts about the Ku Klux Klan, many of which were turned over to the New York World for use in its exposure of the Klan's aims and methods. Other activities of the Association included: Continued appeals for the withdrawal of Marines from the black republic of Haiti; legal defense of colored farmers condemned to death for their participation in the Arkansas riots of 1919, carrying the cases to the Supreme Court of the United States; investigation and publication of the facts surrounding the Tulsa, Oklahoma, riot in which fifteen thousand colored citizens lost their homes by fire. For the physical aid and legal defense of colored citizens of Tulsa, the Association collected and administered a fund of $3,500.

C., indicate that the new year was ushered in by a lynching near the county line between Florence and Williamsburg counties on the very first day, and that a Sunday. The reports came through the office of Sheriff Gamble of Williamsburg county. A black man whose name does not appear was accused of intimacy with a white woman. It is significant, however, that letters from her were found in his pocket after the lynching. No one finds a coin in the street without looking for more. Is that avarice?

Michigan Avenue EYES OF CONGRESS ON RESTAURANT DISCRIMINATION NEW YORK CITY, Jan. 14—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York City, today made public a letter from Representative Martin C. Ansorge, of the 21st district, New York, asserting that if any attempt were made to exclude colored people from the restaurant of the House of Representatives in Washington, he would fight it. The letter was addressed to James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the Association, and concludes with a reference to Mr. Johnson's "strenuous activity" in pressing the Dyer Anti-Lynch Bill. "I cannot believe," writes Representative Ansorge, "that any assurances have been given to Mr. Aswell as stated in the report. However, just so soon as I return to Washington, I shall investigate this matter and advise you." "I am quite certain that no such rule as requested by Representative Aswell of Louisiana will be made during a Republican Administration. If any such rule is made, I shall fight with you to have it abrogated." "I am glad to have been able to cooperate with you in connection with your strenuous activity in favor of the Anti-Lynch Bill." CALLS NEW BOOK BEST SELLER SINCE "UNCLE TOM'S CABIN" CALLS NEW BOOK BEST SELLER SINCE "UNCLE TOM'S CABIN" WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 14. Victor R. Daly, business manager of the Associated Publishers, Inc., in an interview with representatives of the press here predicted a sale for Dr. Woodson's new book, "The History of the Negro Church," that would rival the sale of any book since "Uncle Tom's Cabin." Asked for his reason for such a sweeping statement, Mr. Daly stated that although the book had not been off the press more than a week, and had hardly had time to reach the hundreds of agents, schools, colleges and church organizations that were waiting for it, yet the demand for it was so great that practically the entire first edition was swallowed up in advance orders. To substantiate his statement, the business manager exhibited a stack of orders not only from agents and private individuals, but from schools and colleges where the book is to be used as a text-book, from bishops and high churchmen ordering immense numbers of copies for use in church organizations and kindred religious activities.

H. Henderson is president. Dr. James E. Gregg, in his address of welcome, declared that it was appropriate to link up the thought of freedom with the thought of education. "A school," he said, "is a peculiarly appropriate place for the commemoration of the end of slavery and the beginning of full legal freedom—intellectual freedom, deliverance from the bondage of superstition and ignorance; moral freedom, deliverance from all the habits which enchain and enslave a man and keep him from being his best and truest self." Attenion, Policyholders Attenion, Policyholders Chicago, Illinois, January 4, 1922 To 12. Policy Holders of the Superior Mutual Insurance Company. The 1921 session of the State Legislature enacted laws requiring Mutual Sick and Accident Companies to have on hand on the 31st day of December, 1921, assets over and above all liabilities, in an amount of not less than Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00). Owing to economic conditions and extra heavy percentage of sick claims, the end of the year found us in debt several hundred dollars. The winter months are now upon us, months in which claims are at the highest. We calculated and found that to meet the requirements of the State Laws and to carry the company through the period of industrial depression would require Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000). Our board was ready and willing to put up Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) of this amount if they could raise the other Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) from other sources, to meet the operating expenses of the Company. We made every possible effort to raise this Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) from among men of our race. We tried in every conceivable way to interest men with money, but could not do so. Other insurance companies operated by colored men refused to consider plans for a fair consolidation or to render us any help. It was then, either to fail and lose several thousand dollars invested in the company or arrange with some other persons to protect our debts, our policies, and our investments. We found some white friends who were willing to help us, after we had failed to get help from any colored men. We have made the best arrangements possible, in the best way we could, to protect your policies, to pay our debts and save our investments. No policy holder or creditors will lose one penny. Yours very truly, WILLIAM J. LATHAM, President. Southerners Fall Hard For This Wallingford STATESBORO, GA., Jan. 14. After operating a confidence game on credulous but greedy whites that would excite the admiration of J. Rusf Wallingford, E, W, F. Lawton, an escaped prisoner, is back again behind the bars. Since his escape from the gang he claims to have been in a railroad wreck—and he does give every evidence of having been in some kind of a wreck, having lost a leg and one side of his face punched in. His dilapidated condition, however, has helped him in working a slick trick on several whites. He went to a business man of Brooklet a few days ago, whom Lawton claims to have known, for years and told him that he had sued the railroad and recovered! $34,000. He claimed that $10,000 of this big sum was subject to check on a bank in Indiana and the balance was on time certificate. He called attention to his dilapidate condition and said he realized he would not live long and wanted to leave this money with someone. He did not, however, want to cash in his time certificate, which would be due in a few months, because he would lose the interest. The Bulloch county citizen and Lawton came to this city and had a contract drawn up, it is said. He went to the Brooklet bank and drew a draft, it is said, for his $10,000, telling the officials of the bank to give him credit for it when it came back. In the meantime he had succeeded in getting the business man to let him have some money. The Indiana bank was communicated with by wire by the local lawyer who drew up the contract and the answer came that he was unknown. It is said that a lawyer in Savannah also drew up a similar contract bequaling these "riches" to a citizen of Pineola about a month ago, and that several others had "made love" to him. About two months ago the officers Investigation has shown that he is the same man that escaped from the changang here after stealing $2,000 from two old trusty lifemakers who had been selling peanuts and accumulated this amount. of this county received a message from Utica, N. Y., stating that they had Lawton. Later a message came from the same source stating that Lawton was in a hospital. The local officials finally gave up the idea of sending for him and the New York authorities were instructed to let him go. Lawton denies that he was ever in Utica and claims he was in Johns Hopkins Hospital, after which he came back to this county. He denies having ever been in Pinecora or Savannah, but a citizen of this city declares he saw him in a lawyer's office in Savannah, and that the lawyer had told him of the contract. He does admit, however, having been in a railroad wreck, but his nothing to say when asked about his fortune. When seen in the jail he asked, "Is you a detective?" "Is you a lawyer?" and many other evasive questions.

The season's services were well attended at St. John's. Over twenty-five persons were added to the membership last Sunday. The pastor began a series of sermons which will be put in book form and placed upon the market. The subject of his initial sermon was "Mental Unrest." It was timely, logical and to the point. The annual report of the Bank-Clerk, showed $5,118.80 raised from January y/o December, 1921. This without admission fees. Announcement was made by the pastor of having secured the capable choirmaster and organist, Professor W. A. Secon Henry, for service at St. John.

LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGRE GATIONAL CHURCH Charles Wesley Burton, Minister, Rev. Charles Wesley Burton celebrated his third anniversary as minister of Lincoln Memorial Congregational Church the first Sunday in December and his review of the three years' work showed that the membership of the church had been doubled during that time and over ten thousand dollars raised for all church purposes. The church has also been elevated from the rank of a mission to a basis of self-support and independence, which speaks well for both Pastor Burton and his flock. Lincoln Memorial enters the New Year with undaunted courage and a greater faith in God. We take this opportunity to invite all people in Chicago without church homes, and especially those who believe in intelligent worship and religious freedom, to join us in the great battle for righteousness and social service.

Jack Threatens to Enter Ring Again There is likely to be some pretty strong competition in the Harry Wills-Bill Tate-Sam Langiord League during the coming year if Jack Johnson's plans do not go amiss. The former champion has one big, ambitious plan. That is to get on a match with Harry Wills, whom he thinks is the best of the big colored heavies, and by whipping him prove to the public that he is as good as he ever was. To this end Johnson is about to form a training camp and hie away to the balmy air of southern California for the purpose of whipping himself into the very best of condition. "The only thing the matter with Jack at the present time is that he is a little heavy," Gus said, "but it is weight that will come off easily, we think. He will take three and possibly four big fellows with him and train right up to next June. By that time we think we will have something pretty big lined up for him. St. Matthew's Zion M. E. Church Reverend G. W. Henderson, Pastor. The Sunday evening service at St. Matthews was marked by the advance in attendance by new visitors and the reception of new members. The Choir under direction of Prof. Pace is now in the limelight. Rev. Henderson presented Editor W. A. Ellis (Social and Club Dept. The Whip). who made a short speech. Dr. H Hewitt Brown, Jr., and Mr. Jay E Powers were also present. The Sermon pertained to the "Building of the House Upon the Firm Rock." It was masterful. Great crowds are now getting off the State Street Cars and walking down 40th Street to the Church between Wabash and Michigan. Spacious and neat. Capacity over *00 with good congregation. On January 23rd, 1922, a number of best artists from several large choral bodies have consented to support the presentation of MR. ROBERT L. EPHRAIM, Reader, at this church.

Stout lectured in the afternoon and evening; each service was well attended. The Epworth League and Sunday School still maintain their usual interest. Metropolitan Community Center The congregation at Wendell's Sunday morning were highly interested when the pastor in an hour address, whipped the "bad" folks in his family and lauded the faithful ones. He well demonstrated the power of self control when supported by the Christlike Spirit. The members of the Center said that they knew that sermon was coming to them—so, they took it meekly and praised God that it was no more severe. Then upon a tangent from his gentle and usually pertinent "remarks" he made his sermon inclusive—so the even the visitors to the Church felt the help from the general teaching brought out in the lecture. (No report from Evening Club). Next Fourth Sunday is to be the biggest BIG Program at Wendell's Saturday evening, January 28th, Banquet and Vodvil at 3118 Giles Avenue under direction of J. Wesley Jones and Choir. Central Baptist Church Giles Avenue and Pershing Road Giverend J. W. Coleman, Pastor. Sunday, the 8th instant, was a big day at Central. The pastor preached "The New Year's Start" from Josh. 3d and 4th. At the Communion service many persons gave it their determination to make a new start for the New Year. Reverend A. L. McCoon will preach at the afternoon service next Sunday. Revival begins January 9, 1922. Reverend R. H. Walker, the reformed Gambler from New York, will conduct a ten nights' meeting here.

H. Branham, assistant Pastor, Rev. E. G. Abner took his place and preached to the delight of all present. In the afternoon the Famous Chorus of Prof. J. A. Mundy, appeared in a part-song concert. Prof. Mundy is well known in the musical world of the city, and it goes without saying everybody was well pleased. In the evening the pastor preached from the subject: Spiritual Growth, he said that Christianity is progressive and it is not all of when we are converted, but we must constantly grow in grace and the knowledge of Christ. Then he went on to describe the conditions of growth, the seed of grace, the proper soil, the cultivation. It was enjoyed by all. Services next Sunday. All are welcome. St. Mark M. E. Church Rev. John W. Robinson, Pastor. Sunday morning at an early hour the great Auditorium of St. Mark was well filled. The sermon was delivered by the pastor from the sub- ject "God's Warning".

Next Sunday morning services at the usual hour. Visit St. Mark, you are welcome at all services. Lyceum at 5:15. Central Baptist Church Rev. J. W. Coleman, Pastor.

WONDERFUL Says Black Star Skipper Shot Crap with Crew Says Black Star Skipper Shot Crap with Crew NEW YORK CITY, Jan. 12.—Troubles of the Black Star Line being aired in the courts are beginning to constitute humorous material for curiosity seekers. Marcus Garvey, head of the Universal Improvement Assn., is making some sensational charges against Captain Adrian Richardson, of the S. S. Kanawha, who in turn offers some interesting countercharges. The Kanawha is now laid up in the harbor of Jamaica, British West Indies, and has been there since June. Captain Richardson charges that Garvey owes him $3,500 in back salary. Garvey, on the other hand, says that the shipmaster owes him money. He also charges Richardson with gross negligence in handling the Kanawha that Captain Richardson was drunk during voyages, that he shot craps with the crew, failed to maintain discipline, and used profane and obscene language in the presence of passengers. It is also charged that Richardson put into Norfolk, although that port was not listed in his route, so that he might visit his wife. Hear Ethel Waters at the Grand Theatre week of January 16.

HAMPTON SENIORS UNVEIL CLASS MOTTO HAMPTON SENIORS UNVEIL CLASS MOTTO HAMPTON, VA., Jan. 14—Hampton Institute seniors unveiled their class motto, "Service the Aim of Our Preparation," on the morning of Emanation Day. William M. Hubbard of Richmond, Va., class president, used the class motto as the text for his address to the seniors, the Hampton Institute student body, and the Hampton staff of workers. Dr. James E. Gregg declared that the word "service" expresses the thought which is in many minds and is receiving general attention. "The world," he said, "cannot go on upon any principle of selfish gain. It blocks the wheels, it clogs the machinery, it tangles up the affairs of nations, when that motive is allowed to become dormant. Search For Lottery, Find Distillery Search For Lottery, Find Distillery NEW ORLEANS, JAN. 14.—A search for a lottery shop Friday morning in the rear of a tenement house at 719 St. James street by Detectives Louis Kupferle and Robert Acomb led to an alleged illicit whisky still and resulted in the first arrest by the police of an alleged violator of the state prohibition act. The police received information that a lottery shop was being operated at the St. James Street address. Detectives Acomb and Kupferle went to a room on the second floor and say they found Charles Mobile, 51, standing over a whisky still. According to the police it was in full operation at the time of their entrance. The still is said to have consisted of a fifteen-gallon can with copper coils running into a ten-gallon condenser.

The Ebenezer Baptist Church Choir, in several numbers and Professor John A. Taylor, conducting, are to appear upon the great "Different Kind of Program" at St. Matthews Zion on January 23rd. Sunday morning the Choir sang to a vast audience at Ebenezer. They are now rehearsing for the "Different Kind of Program." Walter's A. M. E. Zion Church Choir appeared to a great audience Wednesday evening, January 11th, in "Esther The Beautiful Queen." The costumes and staging was excellent. The special parts were well supported by the general high standard of the musical production and superior accompanist. (More later.) Pilgrim Temple Choir, with Professor Jas. A. Mundy, conducting, is again attracting attention in the music world of Chicago. The good selections each Sunday are features of the service." Mrs. Oceola H. Daniels (Soprano), and Miss Jackson (Contralto), are to appear upon the program in "The Different Kind of Program." A well known "High Up" Duet is rendered differently by these two voices. We know this BECAUSE we have heard them all. It is the sweet number: "Whispering Hope," we requested IT. Come hear it!! These have promised to be at the "Different Kind of Concert": "The Garners, The Browns, DeWitt-Smith, Roberts-George, Lomax, C. K., Grundy, "Little Music Master," Cleo D. McCurdy, and Mrs. Pelagie S. BLAIR is on the program accompanying Mrs. Wyatt. Other "High ups" will register next week. Prof. Lilliard and Miss Utility, McCoy, Chas. S. Morris—why, they belong to the bunch, too. The rest of the FAMILY are just now hearing of it, so we will watch our mail for the letters and card from them this week. DeWitt-Smith says: "I like and indorse your reviews and criticisms pertaining to musicians and musical entertainments. They are usually fair and pertinent. You do not "white-wash" the shady nor cover up the brilliant spots." Thanky ma'am! We appoint you to act as critic of our "Different Kind of Program" and we shall print the criticism of the affair. The Choral Family will arise and meet the St. Matthews Zion A. M. E. Choir. Under the good direction of Mr. Otis D. Pace, Tenor, it deserves entrance into Chicago's Big Choral Group. Sunday evening it rendered fine numbers. The excellent basso, Mr. Boas (?) is equal to the other "high ups." His voice is as heavy as that of Arthur A. Brown and almost as mellow as that of "Oscar." I expect some one to borrow him as soon as they find him. No young conductor in Chicago, has much upon Mr. Pace, no group of similar numbers (except Salem) can equal this small aggregation. Ebenezer Star Quartette will politely "clean up" in the "Different Kind of Concert." The St. Monica's Choir under direction of Mrs. Blair will be well represented on our program by Madame Bessie Wyatt, Soprano, and when Madames Simpson and Storky, whom you do not know so well, give you tones as strong as Bertha Tyree, with quality—well—between Rachel Wells and Wimfrey—you better hear them. Listen what we found when we heard Miss Geneva Jones in piano number last week: She just tickles a piano into hysterics and carries one along with it. Very near "Goldie Guy" 'nuf sed! Yes, we present her upon that "Different Kind of Program." The Artistic Poses in which little Miss Ruth French appears will tell you things that you never heard before. WATCH and See! We want to tell you something about ROBERT L. EPHRAIM whom we are featuring in our "Different Kind of Program," on Monday, the 23rd inst. But will say; mix well the work of Bruce, Harrison and other local elocutionists; inject the vivacity of McCoy and the spirit of Clint then you will have the Ephraim style, in a different kind of Reading. He is from Howard University and was entered as Senior at Chicago. We will not here mention his business standing. Just Different!! The Adorable Madame Blanche Dorsey Peyton and Madame Mebane, too, will appear upon the "Different Kind of Program at St. Matthew's." The Lyceum at Grace Presbyterian Church presented Hon. N. S. Taylor in: The Psycology and Pathology of the Human Mind, Sunday afternoon. Attorney Taylor handled his theme in a novel, yet, thorny capable manner—his digressions were humorous and well supported his theme. To even condense the topic would take a column of space. No better speech ever has been delivered before this body—not even excepting the highly scientific speech by Attorney Herman Moore last year. Mrs. DeWitt-Smith accompanied Miss Camille Jones (Mezo²) from N. O., who consented to take the substitute number for Mrs. DeWitt-Smith. Voice near Mrs. Williams (Williams' Singers). Near as we can get. Walter Allen, Baritone, is in class with Banks of M. C. C. very good. Mrs. Maud Roberts George and the President, Miss Lewis, are as usual due to the credit for the fine program. It is always "high up." The Club Editor is to present in recital: rechn. Mr. Robert L. Ephraim (a different Mr. Robert L. K kind of reader) and a strong support by artists from Ebenezer Choir, Pilgrim Temple, St. Monica, Metropolitan Community Center and St. Matthews Churches. All the leading artists of Chicago are to be there and to be presented to the vast audience, so that they may know Who is Who in Music in Chicago PETER J. BROWN It goes without saying: That the Clubs will be present. This group will be open for engagements after the January 23rd engagement at St. Matthew's Church, Monday evening at 8 P. M., at 46th Street, between Wabash and Michigan. Come over and see "a different kind of program." 35 cents. It will be a "high up" affair. House seats only 600 so you should secure your ticket at office of Chicago Whip early, or with various choirs mentioned. Each Monday evening is now open after January 23rd. YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD A READER JUST LIKE R. L. EPHRAIM The Alpha Delta Dancing Club is now in sole control of the dances now at the Eighth Armory. Internally the meetings are a new departure from their usual routine. Last meeting Mr. Gladden lectured. Mr. Scott is in from California and made a great talk upon "Relativity of Pathology to Physiology." The new orchestra was a "knock out" feature. Fridays, you are expected to be present. Bring your girl and our bean. The Hi-Art Musical and Dramatic Club announce that their President, Mrs. Lillian C. Thompkins, is again to appear upon the great program of the M. C. C. on the Fourth Sunday. We gladly recommended this presentation. We are intending to present this lady and a strong cast in "The Divorce" in February at a large hall on the South Side. Sketch of Mrs. Thompkins: She is a graduate of Senior Class, Chicago Musical College, 1920, graduated June, 1921. Now, in Post Graduate Class at Chicago Musical College. Probably graduate June, 1922. In short, just hear her 4th Sunday. The Community Dramatic Club with Miss Magnolia N. Lewis in charge, makes its debut into the Club Family. Their first meeting at Community House, 3118 Giles Avenue, Tuesday evening past. At South Park M. E. Church, January 3rd, Mr. Julius N. Avendorph presented to a crowded house, Maud Cuney Hare, pianist, and W. H. Richardson, baritone. The extremely fine numbers were appreciated by the discriminating audience, and more laurels are added to the wreaths of fame which for some time these two artists have worn. Mr. Avendorph again has put over a great affair which few except real music lovers could appreciate. The arrangements by Maud Cuney Hare were appreciated as special contributions. The Cornell Charity Club is expected to reply to the letter sent in care of Mrs. Logan last week. Apologies to Clubs other than musical or choral, on account of small space given this week. You will be given the greater space in the following issue. So send in your copy early next week. "Daddy" has over two hundred children in the FAMILY. Some certainly sing! The Bethel Choir and Operatic Company, Professor Jas. A. Mundy conducting, appeared at Olivet Baptist Church Sunday at 3 P. M. before about 1,200 guests and members.

Texarkana Man "Fooled" With White Woman TEXARKANA, Jan. 14.—Clarence Weatherby, 30, who conducts a cleaning and pressing shop near the postoffice, was kidnapped by masked men as he was leaving a picture show on State Street at 10:30 last week, placed in an automobile, blindfolded, and carried to a point north of town and given a severe whipping. After returning to town he went to the office of a morning paper as, he sad, the men had instructed him, and reported that the men had said they whipped him "for fooling about a white woman." Weatherby has an ugly gash on the head where he says he was clubbed with a revolver, and also several cuts and bruises on his back. He said he could not say how many men were in the crowd which kidnapped him. Milwaukee News By Miss Marian Steffens.

Captures Bandits Beverly Motley, proprietor of the confectionery store, 630 E. 39th Street, was waiting on a customer on Thursday night last, about 8:45, when two men entered and asked to use the telephone. At first glance Motley noticed the nervousness of the new arrivals as both entered the telephone booth, and at once got his old reliable 45, and took a position behind the telephone booth, but hidden from the two men in the booth. Motley soon saw that the intention of the two men was to rob the telephone box. With revolver in hand he covered the two would-be bandits and put in a call for the police who arrived shortly and found Motley with the men still covered. The police congratulated Motley for his quick thinking and courage and no doubt the telephone company will reward him for his action.

Plants which produce foods, tobacco manufactures, automotive products, and repair railroad equipments all had fewer men on payrolls December 31 than on November 30. 7% Bonds May Be Bought On the Instalment Plan tren that wel bon mer mon tere posi LINCOLN S OF CH Under State Govern 31st and South Telephone V 1890 Dr. Johnson To Preach Series On Elijah The life and character of Elijah is an intensely interesting study. His relations and experiences with God are typical of the relations and experiences of Christians in all ages. His life abounds with rewards of truth and obedience. We shall follow him step by step through his entire eventful life and note God's loving care in every condition and circumstance. Through an analytical study of the life of Elijah, we shall be convinced that it pays to serve the Lord. Each sermon will be vividly illustrated from human life, from nature and from science. The practical applications will be directed to the individual, giving wholesome food for daily thought and the ultimate strength of faith in God. The supreme object of these sermons is to have each individual make God a more definite reality in his daily consciousness and to inspire a closer fellowship with Him through faith and obedience. We shall see the ideal life, which assures us of victory while living and victory when dying. To fully appreciate these sermons and to receive the spiritual benefit intended, you must hear each of them, for each is a link in the golden chain of God's mysterious providence. Come and bring your friends. We have enlarged our choir to thirty-five select voices under the leadership of Miss Magnolia N. Lewis, which will render inspiring music at each service. We have recently installed another furnace in our church which adds greatly to its warmth and comfort. Strangers are especially welcome.

VOCATIONAL SCHOOL FOR TENNESSEE. WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.—Representative Lon A.

PERHAPS the most obvious advantage to be obtained by buying bonds on easy payments is the opportunity to save small sums systematically with a high interest return. Ten dollars a month or more will make an initial payment on a Lincoln Bond which pays 7% interest from the date of the first payment. The instalment plan is a boon also to the investor who is following the trend of interest rates and knows that it is uncertain how much longer well-secured 7% First Mortgage bonds will be available. The instalment plan enables him to 'tie up' more good bonds paying a high interest rate than he would be in a position to purchase outright. Any 7% First Mortgage Real Estate Gold Bond offered by this bank may be purchased on instalments. Let us send you, without obligation, details of this plan, and information concerning our approval 7% First Mortgage Bonds. Write for Circular 14. Secure More Funds For Ex-Service Mens Scholarships During the past year and a half many thousands of ex-service men received free scholarships in educational institutions through the scholarship fund of the National War Work Council of the Y. M. C. A. It was expected that this work would cease on June 30, 1921. Some additional funds, however, have been made available and the Y. M. C. A. has announced a Supplementary Scholarship Plan under which half scholarships are being awarded in Y. M. C. A. schools in all parts of the United States. Scholarships providing half the tuition fee for the school year of 1921-1922 have been awarded to several thousand students in the Resident Schools of Y. M. C. A. and in the correspondence courses of the United Y. M. C. A. Schools. This fund offers a special opportunity to ex-service men to secure the excellent courses of instruction by correspondence in the Extension Division of the United Y. M. C. A. Schools at half the price charged for these courses to non-service students. Full information may be obtained either through the local Y. M. C. A. or by writing direct to the United Y. M. C. A. Schools, 375 Lexington Avenue, New York City. Any man who served in the army, navy or marine corps of the United States in the World War, and who has an honorable discharge from such service is eligible to apply for these scholarships, and awards will be made as long as there are funds available under the present plant. Awards may also be secured in local Y. M. C. A. schools where such are available. These awards are made by the local Association from a special allotment of funds, secured from the New York headquarters. Under the original plan for the award of scholarships which was in effect from November, 1919, to June, 1921, scholarships were given in all kinds of reputable schools, and under this plan awards were made to 83,591 ex-service men. Of this number 33,134 were in Y. M. C. A. schools and classes; 14,559 in elementary and high schools and business trade schools not conducted by the Y. M. C. A.; 23,491 in correspondence schools, largely in the Extension Division of the Y. M. C. A., and 12,204 in colleges and universities. The total amount paid to ex-service men on account of these scholarship awards was $4,567,071 As Sure This Company m For its patronage it h takers of America.

Robert L. Ephraim, Mgr. The National Educational Service Committee of the Y. M. C. A. regrets that the limited funds available for this supplementary plan make it necessary to restrict awards to Y. M. C. A. Schools at the present time. They feel, however, that in view of the needs o fex-service men in the country as a whole that this is the wisest plan. During the last two months nearly 5,000 ex-service men in various parts of the United States had received scholarship awards and are pursuing courses of study leading to vocational and cultural improvement. It is expected that this opportunity will be embraced by fully 15,000 ex-service men during the next three or four months and it is hoped that the number of colored men making use of this opportunity will be fully proportional to their numbers in military and naval service during the World War.

O NOSEY WAS trying to light a cigarette the other night about midnight in front of one of State Street's popular loan offices or pawn shops. He had just succeeded in getting his bitter weed burning when he saw one of Chicago's leadingest lights shuffle out of the loan office with a suit of clothes—(full dress suit)—under his arm. Nosey learned afterward that he had made the loan man stay open late so that he would not by any chance meet any of his friends as he walked out of the shop. Fate and chance, however, conspired to run him, for as he was about ten steps away from the place five ladies and two gentlemen hailed him. He tried to swallow that swallow tail coat, dangling suspenders and trousers, but to no avail. He explained to them that he was just coming from his "tailor's". They appeared to believe it and he appeared to mean it. Both sides were too piteous to do otherwise. Nosey thought what a blessing politeness was and noted how often it works hand in hand with hypocrisy. --- ON LAST Friday night Nosey decided to get rid of about three days' growth of beard and hied himself into one of the best barber shops in town to have the operation done. Nosey noticed a young, well-dressed man who was spread out at a very dangerous angle—fast asleep. His beautiful diamonds glittered and shone in the brilliant light and his costly, shiny, silk shirt rose and fell with his regular breathing. Suddenly the telephone book which was overhead fell, hitting the floor at his side with a loud crash. The young man jumped from his improvised bed with a wild yell and shouted, "The train is wrecked," and started to run. Two of the habitual barber shop "bystanders" seized his flying form and calmed him, finally convincing him that he was on State Street and safe. He apologized sleepily, saying, "I am so sure that the old train I ride is going to smash-up that I can never rest in peace." Nosey smiled as did the "bystanders." . . . SOME PEOPLE think that if they are near right that it is alright. Nosey saw that two people were looking for a number. One had a dirty slip of paper in his hand. They had asked a number of people where Desert Street was. They all had given it up. Nosey scratched his head a minute and then asked the two strangers if they were sure that was the name of the street. They were not sure, but thought that it was Desert Street. That is what they thought their friend told them. Nosey asked them if it was not Prairie Avenue. A smile broke over their faces and they cried in unison. "That's it!" Nosey showed them where Prairie Avenue was and they went on their way. After all they were nearly right. A prairie is almost as bad as a desert. EVERYTHING MUST have a reason for its being. Nosey saw one of the popular boys wearing two mufflers, one a beautiful silk one and the other one a varied colored woolen one. It was chilly but certainly not cold enough for two mufflers. Nosey asked the gentleman if he had the sore throat. He did not. So Nosey followed the gentleman. He soon unde his way to a lady's house on Wabash Avenue. Before entering, he quickly removed the silk scarf, leaving the woolen one in view. On leaving the house he removed the woolen one and put back the silk one and then sauntered across the street to another lady's house. When he left that house he donned both mufflers and was evidently prepared for any emergency. The cause is easily understood—two Christmas presents of the same kind from two different lady friends. Each lady insisted that he appear with her muffler, and he did. 南 净 太 YOU WOULD BE surprised to know that the brethren," as the Alderman calls the members of his "lowly" race, are really trying to "put things over in style" these days. Nosey for some time has been wondering what profession claimed a handsome, young gentleman who came down the boulevard every morning early with a Boston bag of real leather in his hand. He wore the best of the latest style clothes and always, rain, hail or snow, managed to have a flower in his coat. While in the elevated, seated next to the "gentleman of leisure" Nosey found out the secret of the Boston bag. He opened it for a minute to get out his morning paper and Nosey saw a clean pair of overalls and a jumper neatly folded. Nosey followed the man to the garage where he worked and saw him later in his overalls and jumper and decided that many a person could do well to follow the "boulevardier's" example.

A condensed review of their rehearsal for January 23rd 1922 By Prof. Retlaw Sille. Of course every one knows the writer, that is the reason we write his name backward—for disguise. He hates publicity. After witnessing a rehearsal of the musical numbers by the favorites, he turned his ears toward the new stars then—heard the reading of "The Boy from Howard." He then wrote the review below: "As everyone knows that Chicago cannot be surprised by a fine musical number—because it is a thing to be expected—nor can anyone put over, as unusual, the ordinary high-class dramatic reading. So readily it can be understood that when one refers to the class of entertainment presented by Mr. Ellis, to make good the promise of a "Different Kind of Program" it must not alone satisfy, as excellent in tone and quality, but must be a variant from the already "too muchy and too gooey" monotonous affair which is current. Now that is just what the rehearsal demonstrated: Local Stars intermingled with Hidden Lights. Ephraim combines: Preacher, Lawyer and Actor. At St. Matthew's Zion Church, 46th Street.

Prize Winner, in Jungles, Unaware of Success PARIS, Jan. 14.—Few literary events have created such a stir as the winning of the Edmond de Concourt prize by Rene Maran, the Negro writer, with his novel "Batonala." Maran himself will probably be the last person in the world to learn of his success, for he is now in the wilds of equatorial Africa, three days march from Lake Chad. In a recent letter Maran told a friend in Paris his only neighbors are nine white men who are scattered among the native villages within the vast area under their administration. Hyenas and panthers prowl each night around Maran's lonely hut at Fort Archambault, where he was sent in disgrace recently for his too outspoken criticism of the white man's methods in the colonies. Avowedly the apostle of his own race, Maran's book is not the passionate presentation of the cause of the denizens of the Dark Continent, which might be supposed, although he pleads in a vehement preface for kinder treatment of his colored brothers by the French colonial functionaries. Maran does not flatter these dusky inhabitants of the African brush. On the contrary, he portrays in the crudest colors their hideous vices; the sordid existence of masses who think only of sleeping, hunting, eating and women.

Miss Waters and her company have been drawing large crowds everywhere since leaving New York, and it is ex- pected that all records for attendance this season will be broken at the Grand next week. Hundreds in Chi- cago have heard Ethel Waters sing “Down Home Blues” and other num- bers on the records, and are anxious ‘to see and hear her in person. She is ‘one singer for records who is equally as, effective before the footlights, ‘The Jazz Masters enjoy the reputa- tion of being the best in the country In St. Louis New Year's week they entered two competitions with masi- ‘cians in the Mound City who thought they were the equal, if not the super- ior, of the New Yorkers. However, St Louisans were unanimous in ren- dering a verdict that their fellow townsmen were not in the Jazz Mas- ters’ class. Ethel Williams, who was the dan- cing sensation of J. Leubrie Hill's Darktown Follies a few years ago, does a dancing turn with Froncel Manley, and members of the band, gach a sploist in bis Tine, will be seen in specialties. With other novelty fea- tures, the entertainment will be varied and full of pep. The Black Swan Troubadours are being presented to the public by Les- ter A.

The father has little time to give to the matter beyond supplying ‘the necessary amount of money, In some cases, he is fortunate enough to know some musician who assists in the choice of a good instrument and a set of records, or who, if a piano is ‘bought, suggests a capable, conscien- tious teacher to train the child. Too often, however, the choice of both the instrament and records is left to the salesman and he insists on selling the highest priced instrument, regardless of tone value, If a Victrola is bought, he offers to give free a mumber of records, providing certain others are bought. Nine times out of ten, the type of record donated (?) to the pur- chaser of the instrument is jazz music or something just as lacking in real benefit. ‘The list of records which he suggests be bought is probably aiong this same line. Consequently, this trashy material is heard first in the home and begins to form, or rather to deform, the musical taste of that family. Sometimes it fortunately happens that. the child hears apiece of real music elsewhere—a piece that grips his heart and mind—something fae can be explained and understood and which has real value and sign.tcance to his growing mind. He may he able to intelligently speak of the piece to his mother—who in turn buys it for him and the family becomes interested with a consequent result of a gradual change in taste Many times this never happens but the taste acquired by those first value- less records becomes too fixed to be so cusily changed.

CHICAGO DECADE OLD FIGHT FILM SHOWING HERE A notable instance of the perpetuity which the sereen endows to events of historical value is seen in the Jeffries. Johnson fight pictures which are now being projected in. the Star ‘Theatre on West Madison Street. Here is the notable fight-ring encounters, dupli- cated as freshly and as thrillingly as the original occurred away back in 1910. According to law, the fight films were never shown in the United States. They were kept in storage in Chicago until Barbee’s Loop Theatre by cleverly taking advantage of the loophole in a certain law, managed to get a permit to show the Dempscy- Carpentier ringside films. Here is a great part of the fifteen- round go, in all the glory of its clash between two great fighters. By some technical supplement, the action js brought up far closer than the average film, and this enables the observer to watch the clase engagements and star-shooting swats. In the fifteenth round the nal fooring of Jeffries is vividly seen. — Chicago Journal of Commerce and Daily Financial Times Friday, December 9, 1921 Picture to Show at States Theatre This same film with many improve- ments will appear at The States ‘The- atre beginning January 23rd ane in stead of chargigg loop prices, the ad mission will be 25c, including war tis children 106, LEGION NOTES Giles Post No. 87, American Legion, held its first meeting of the year on ‘Thursday, January 5, at which time the following officers were installed into office: Commander, Earl B.

MILLER Proprietors Managers THE WORLD OF SPORTS TATE CLAIMS TITLE THROUGH FRIDAY'S DRAW HOLDS WILLS TO DRAW IN TERRIFIC RETURN ENGAGEMENT --- And this time it was a fight. Through ten hard, vicious rounds, Harry Wills, the black giant from New Orleans, and Bill Tate, colored behemoth from Alabama, battled in the old Milwaukee car barn last night before a bargain crowd of fight tazs who filled every available seat and swarmed by hundreds along the walls. At the end of the tenth round Referee Lontit seized a bronze paw of each sweating Hercules and flung it aloft in token of a draw. A draw it was, but by virtue of that draw Bill Tate now is the colored heavyweight champion of the world. He entered the fight last night as the champion because he won the title technically Monday when the bout ended in the first round on a foul by Wills. He retained the championship by last night's draw decision. Mullins Protests Vehemently Paddy Mullins, Wills's manager, protested vehemently that the draw does not entitle Tate to the championship but there seems no other view to take Mullins asserted that last night's bargain fight, at which no admission was charged, was Monday's fight all over again and that by fighting in this bargain bill the two completely canceled Monday's battle and wiped it off the books as if it never had been. Consequently the draw last night, he declared, left Wills still possessor of the title. But the view among boxing experts is general that Tate won the championship on the foul and that he kept it last night by getting the draw. Let the managers and the boxers fight out their argument. It was a real fight this time; make no mistake about that--a battle between an aggressive, mauling, swinging engine ot destruction, a giant who gritted his teeth and charged with the fury of a locomotive again and again and again, and a clever big man who eluded those demon rushes, blocked the most savage of the swings, jabbed, jabbed, jabbed with a stinging left and occasionally whipped over a ripping, tearing, vicious right uppercut or straight smash. Tate Hangs On Wills was the charger, the primitive man lusting to seize his opponent and tear him and hammer him and rend him to pieces. Tate the cool, the clever, the elusive. Again and again when Wills charged. Tate would step inside his swings and hang on. He hung thus through many and many a elinch. And as he held, Wills would ram terrible punch after terrible punch with his right on Tate's naked back and side above the kidneys. The marvel of it was how any human being would stand up under those awful sledge hammer blows even on the back, and survive them. Where Wills hit, Tate's back became red and swollen, and as the fight went on little patches of brighter red showed where the flesh had been pounded like round steak under a butcher's mace. The sound of those blows boomed hollowly, like a bass drum, yet Tate never even winced under them. Up to the fourth round Tate contested himself mainly with defensive tightness. Occasionally his left would whip out and every time it whipped it stabbed, but he let Wills do all the leading and all the aggressive work. In the fourth Wills shook him and flung him about in the clinches in a frantic endeavor to shake him loose and land a finishing blow. They roughed it to the ropes as two gorillas would rough it, but Wills couldn't land the punch he was trying for. Tate smothered his blow. Tate Takes Aggressive Tate Takes Aggressiveness Then in the fifth Tate showed a flash of brilliancy. He took a aggressive and, with swift, fierce stabs of his left, opened a cut through Wills' left eye. A stream of hot red blood spurted out and flowed down his face in a scarlet stream. Again and again Tate jabbed at the injured eye and his blows were going hard. They rushed into a clinch and in the breakaway Wills forgot himself and took a swing at Tate. The crowd booed. Tate rushed Wills to the ropes and showed letts and rights to his faces. Just before the bell Tate rammed a stiff appuccet to the mouth that clearly jarred Wills. The sixth was another round of action. The two Goliaths rushed into a clinch near the center of the ring, following a series of left jabs by Tate to Wills' face, and wrestling and tearing and swinging at each other, crashed heavily to the floor, Wills on top. Again Wills rushed and Tate reopened the cut over his eye and another cut on his nose with more of those stiletto jabs. As the round ended Tate jabbed twice and missed a tremendous right uppercut and Wills in a clinch punished him with terrible kidney blows. Wills Seems Wearied In the seventh Tate started with more jabs, but Wills rushed him and strove frenziedly to end it with a blow. Wills was streaming with perspiration. His face was gory with blood from his injured eye and nose. He appeared to be slowing up, while Tate, who had done little leading, was fresh and smiling. It was clear that Tate's strategy was to remain on the defensive and let Wills do all the rushing, then punish him as his strength waned. The eighth and ninth wege both hard sessions, especially the ninth. In that round Tate clipped Wills a sudden right on the back of the neck and Wills half dropped, half slipped to his knees as a bull binks at the slaughter. But he was instantly. Tate showederled on Wills' jaw, but he couldn't stagger the big fellow again. Wills was rushing as hard as ever when the bell rang, but just before it he swung at Tate coming out of a clinch after Referee Louttit had ordered them to break, and the referee warned him. The tenth wasn't as fast as the ninth, but once more Wills in the clinches pounded his mighty tattoo on Tate's kidneys. Tate landed a right to Wills' jaw, but Wills came back with a right hook to the head. Tate was jabbing Wills with his left when the bell rang and Referee Louttit instantly raised the hands of both in token of a draw. Whis Proves Aggressor It was the right decision. Tate landed more clean blows, but Wills was at almost all times the aggressor. He never stopped tearing in. Had any of the ferocious blows he aimed at Tate landed in a vital spot, this story would have ended long ago to recount the knock-out. But they never did. Not once was Tate staggered or seriously inconvenienced. He was too slippery, too clever, too alert, too hang on in the clutches for Wills to get home his deadly wipe. When Tate did forsake his defensive tactics and become the aggressor he showed flashes of brilliant work. The sympathy of the crowd seemed with him, early in the fight his expression was sombre and earnest in the extreme, but as it wore along he flashed a golden smile frequently as Wills' swings went well. Wills always was the grim, the terrible, the man-killer. The fight was preceded by four fast and interesting preliminaries, put on the personal expense of George Moore, manager of the Milwaukee boxing commission, to add good measure to the free bill for the fans. WILBERFORCE WINS FROM HAMPTON By CHARLES H. WILLIAMS HAMPTON, Va., Jan. 14.—Willberforce University defeated Hampton Institute, 24 to 18, on Hampton's court on Saturday, Jan. 4, in what spectators declared to be the most brilliant game witnessed at Hampton in the last two years. From the beginning of the game until the sound of the timekeeper's whistle there was great defensive playing by both teams as well as wonderful passing and spectacular shooting. The brilliancy of play brought the spectators to their feet constantly as the two teams battled for supremacy in their first intersectionsal clash. The first half ended 11 to 9 in favor of the visitors. The score was even early in the second half, but Wilberforce again took the lead and held in throughout the game. With two minutes to play and the score standing 18 to 20, the Ohioans clinched the victory by making two sensational shots from the center of the floor. The game was clean and hard-fought throughout. It was a fine demonstration of sportsmanship of the highest type. Summary Hampton, 18. Wilberforce, 24. Saunders. R. F. Hull. Lovett-Cornish. L. F. Fisher. Watley. C. Hudson. Gunn. R. G. McGee.

Defenders To Invade Eastern Territory The Chicago Defenders will leave early next month for the East where a number of games have been shed- uled with the best teams o that section. The Defenders led by Captain Bluett and Sol Buttler is well known in the East, having decifed several of the crack eastern teams last season, including the St. "C." Results of the games will be watched with interest, as the Defenders, barring possibly the Loendi Club of Pittsburgh, were considered the best team to invade the East last season.

WILLS-TATE FIGHT BY ROUNDS Says Bill Tate Has Just Struck His True Stride Smiling Bill Buckner has just about given the correct explanation for the wonderful showing that Bill Tate has been making recently. Buckner states that Tate has always been a great boxer but that while training Dempsey that he was forced to pull his punches that withheld the steam and power. Tate got into that habit and has just recently got into the knack of putting over the pile driver punches. Tate Is No False Alarm Tate is No False Alarm Bill Tate is no false alarm; he is a clean-cut giant and makes a study of the game. His defeat and draw with Wills does not mean that Wills is not good, but that Tate is better. Watch out, for Bill Tate maybe is the lad to bring home the bacon. NORFOLK WINS OVER JAMAICA Jamaica Kid, former punch absorber for Jack Dempey in his fights for the title, lost the referee's decision to Kid Norfolk, at the end of their eight round battle at the Madison Square Garden last Friday night.

Young gentlemen of the prize ring, you are at present living in a period of great opulence. You—many of you of scant ability—are getting more money for preliminary bouts than real great fighters of a few years back got for main bouts. Some of you get more money for a single fight than oldtime fighters made during their entire careers, after fighting many desperate battles. Let us advise you to save your money. This period of prosperity will not always last, and may never come again. Sam McVea, a sturdy negro heavyweight, died a few days ago of pneumonia, leaving his family penniless. It was not because McVea threw his money away, but because he never made much money. He came ahead of the period of big purses. McVea was known as "the Oxnard Giant." He was born at Oxnard, Cal., thirty-six years ago. In the first year of his fighting career, when he was eighteen years old, he boxed the tough Kid Carter, the equally tough Denver Ed Martin, and the great Jack Johnson twice, both twenty-round bouts. He probably got very little money for these bouts. Had McVea been a white man, with his ability he would have been a championship contender throughout his career, and almost to the day of his death, for as late as 1920 he was meeting Harry Wills, accounted the best of the colored men. McVea once whipped Wills in twenty rounds. For eighteen years McVea made his living with his fists, meeting any man who could be induced to enter the ring with him—Langford, Jeannette, Jeff Clark and scores of others. And the irony of his career lies in the fact that he died penniless, while a lot of men with less than half his ability got rich because of the difference in color. McVea, old as he was, could have broken Georges Carpentier in two last July, yet Carpentier got $200,000 for a few minutes' effort. He was a good, square old character, McVea. It is a pity he had to die as he did. DAMON RUNYON. (Copyright, 1922, by Star Company.)

"I came to bury Sam, not to praise him," he paraphrased, and there was a suggestion of dewdrop in the challenging eye of a stoic face. "Sam meant much to me," he hastened on. "The old black guard is waning. Athletic decay has set in in the race that was once physically great." The giant referred to Sam McVey, short-time dead, and destined to be buried in Potter's Field if Jack Johnson had not hurried East from Cincinnati to arrange funeral expenses. For many years Johnson knew McVey, his rival, and appreciated him. "We fought three times," said Johnson. "He was the toughest man I ever fought. He hit me harder than I was ever hit before or since. I returned the compliment. Sam had the worst left hand I ever encountered. It was a short chop, loaded with T. N. T. Sam Langford had just such a hook in either hand, but Langford, great as he was for his weight and inches, had neither the weight nor leverage to drive his socks home. "I fought McVey three times. Twice I gained the decision over limited distances. Once I knocked him out in the twentieth match at Mechanics' Pavilion, San Francisco. And I wish to tell you in that fight I was hit the a right hook to the body. Each landed a left to the body.

MORRIS SUPREMES WIN FROM GARY ELKS On Sunday afternoon at Dexter Pavilion, 42nd and Halsted Streets, the Morris Supremes defeated the Gary Elks team by a score of 7 to 0, the winning touchdown being made by Conzelman, assisted by the wonderful interference of Nesser. Goal was kicked by "Fritz" Pollard, who was the field general for the Supremes, and who played a steady defensive game from the opening play to the close of a hotly contested game. Ink Williams with Gary Elks Williams played right half for the Gary team instead of appearing in the lineup of the Supreme outfit. Hand-capped by a bad ankle, Ink did not display his startling fleetness which has made him the terror in pro ranks as he was when starring at Brown University. This injury forced the Brown flash to retire from the game at the end of the third period. Nesser and played well in the game, figuring in most every play. Dune Annan was a consistent grown gainer for the Supreme team and the forward passing and kicking of Pollard helped keep the ball in the territory of the Gary team.

TO SETTLE A CHAMPIONSHIP Mr. Bill Tate, the black hippopotamus, and Mr. Harry Wills, the black panther, with great good nature, gave a return performance in the Milwaukee ring, near Portland, but failed to settle anything. They went the ten round distance to a draw and matters seem to remain as they did when Mr. Tate sprinted for a beaststeak after being clipped on the jaw by Mr. Wills. Mr. Tate's friends say that the clip to the jaw, in violation of rules and instructions, knocked him into the black heavyweight championship as well as into the rosin, and that the subsequent fight to a draw leaves him where it found him—champion. Mr. Wills's friends say that the second go was a complete substitution for the first, an abrogation and nullification of it, erasing it from the record as a thing which was not and that therefore there has been no decision of the black heavyweight championship. We are disposed to recognize the black heavyweight champion as a duality and we suggest that Mr. Wills or Mr. Tatewills now challenge the white heavyweight champion, Mr. Dempsey. Tex Rickard need not worry about the gate. There will be an attendance of the citizenry if it is to be announced: "Gentlemen, in this corner Mr. Dempsey, in this corner Mr. Wills and Mr. Tate." Here is just the dish for Mr. Dempsey, who is known as a fighting fool. It is a very attractive idea and it would provide Mr. Dempsey with an opponent.—Chicago Tribune. BASKET BALL NEWS.

The clubs that compose the Western circuit of the tentative organization—the Negro National Baseball League—played to 600,000 paid admissions during the season of 1920. With thirty games—practically one month's play—clipped from the regular schedule to permit three clubs of the circuit to invade the East, a section that was practically without attractions and calling for help, the Western circuit in 1921, came within the paid admission figures of 1920 by a deficit of but 20,000. Notwithstanding the great economic unrest that engulfed the whole world, the Western circuit and associated members of the National Association of colored professional baseball clubs, from a financial standpoint have passed two of the most successful seasons in the history of the Negro in baseball. The one thing that will maintain baseball on its present high plane, and which has brought it to that standard, is organization. Without the latter, every league would be at war with every other league, and not only would the element of sport be at low ebb, but stability would be an altogether minus quality. The essence of the life of baseball is the hope that springs eternal that the home club shall win a pennant. The efforts of the manager of every club from second place down to eighth place are closely watched by the loyal followers of the game and they indulge the hope that every change in the roster of the team will help to strengthen it. The fans will watch a bottom place team gradually strengthened and with each successive season working near to the coveted prize. Finally the team lands in second place. The club is strengthened up a little during the winter months, and its followers believe "our team" now is ready to capture the thing that makes the game worth while—the pennant. But right here a bunch of pirates, whose sign manual is the dollar mark, jumps in and breaks up the winning combination by prevailing upon three or four of the best players to jump their contracts, the team tumbles and the hope of a pennant is crushed. How long would the public support teams under these conditions? The followers of the game quickly would see that their one privilege was to contribute money for a thing too uncertain to attract even the most speculative person. They would see at a glance that it was a battle of magnates for dollars and they would quickly decide to let the magnates furnish all the money. Viewed from all angles, the only conceivable process that will make possible the perpetuity of baseball is organization; a plan whereby the owner of a team will know his rights are to be respected by the owner of every other team. Only in this way can the game be kept at once on a high business plane and at a high standard of sportsmanship. "THE HUMAN FROG" By Al Munro boys arrived "over there" they were indeed sued by fighters were called frogs instead of soldiers; they doubled themselves and learned why, while others they were men and not frogs, seemed to worry with their peculiar name. that some who read these lines may be haunted by this question answered and as a result we have to hold your attention as we try and explain out whom this article is written.

But, alas! The seas of sport; they seek to find out why Gourdin on jumper of all times, was able to shatter all the ease. In order to do this they must find his with the distance between.

Then we even more remarkable that out of twenty time single one has been able to lead so decisively in or even approach the mark set by him in the attention of this writer to such athletes as H Brown; Dismond, Chicago; Butler, Dubuque; burg, and a number of other whom we might When our boys arrived "over there" they were indeed surprised to find that the French fighters were called frogs instead of soldiers; of course, some of the boys troubled themselves and learned why, while others less curious, realizing that they were men and not frogs, seemed to worry very little as to how they acquired their peculiar name. It is probable that some who read these lines may be a bit curious and desirous of having this question answered and as a result we hope to be able to lead you on and to hold your attention as we try and explain the direct purpose and about whom this article is written. While these American soldiers, acting in the capacity of students of nature, were finding the reason for soldiers being called frogs, little did they think that back home in the cotton-covered plains of the southland there was to spring forth a real frog, a human frog, with a tremendous leaping power, who would startle the world by hurling a huge body to the seemingly impossible distance of more than 25 feet, and yet this is exactly what happened, and it took Ned Gourdin, Harvard's crack colored athlete to perform this marvelous feat. In the scientific magazine of a few months past, scientists in their experiments on Babe Ruth, the king of swat, revealed a startling discovery. Babe's experiments were compared with that of other great hitters; the test according to science showed his power to think, to concentrate, and of consistent exactness to be greater than that of any others. But, alas! The scientists invade other branches of sport; they seek to find out why Gourdin, the Harvard athlete, champion jumper of all times, was able to shatter all records with such comfortable ease. In order to do this they must find his nearest rival and experiment with the distance between. However, the difference is so great that the experiment seems indeed doubtful for a time at least. In a final effort to go on with the test they resort to mother nature who produces three rivals of Gourdin in the Frog, Leopard and Flea. The comparison of these supers at jumping is indeed interesting and every individual should read what science has to say about these birds of the earth in the December issue of the Hearst magazine. Gourdin should go down in history as the one colored champion and record breaker to be acclaimed as such by the white press with no strings attached. This argument we base upon a recent statement in the Literary Digest that read as follows: "It is indeed remarkable that out of ten million Negroes Gourdin is the only one to lead in any branch of sport." Then the writer contends that it is even more remarkable that out of twenty times this number of whites not a single one has been able to lead so decisively in any branch of sport as Gourdin or even approach the mark set by him in this particular branch. We call the attention of this writer to such athletes as Howard Drew, Drake, Pollard, Brown; Dismond, Chicago; Butler, Dubuque; Shater, Iowa; Johnston, Pittsburg, and a number of other whom we might mention.

WE HAVE DEDICATED OURSELVES TO PUBLIC SERVICE. Beware of Imitations How do we, the black people of America, know that the white man's civilization is so superb and superior that we are to blindly and dogmatically accept his standards and imitate his actions? When the black man imitates the white man he does it at his own risk and the imitators should beware. Even if no evil consequences result from the act of imitation itself, originality, initiative and independence, at least, are submerged. How do we know that the different creeds of the white man are not false? How do we know that his system of government is not hindpart before and his customs and conventions are not turned wrong side out? Why should we accept his theories and deductions, his histories, arts and sciences, without question? No blind and apelike actions and mimicry can avail a race of people much. America is composed of men of many moods and passions and might has stamped the opinions of the most powerful into the grain of the republic, but what are now the controlling impulses and passions should not be accepted as final and eternal. "Even this, too, shall pass away," and the black man can have much to do with the passing of the old order of affairs and still more to do with the ushering in of the new. Independence of thought is what the black people are greatly in need of. It lies with the black man himself to break the chains which bind his brain and hinder its function. The black man's only original contribution to America has been jazz music and plantation melodies, but the recesses of philosophy remain carelessly explored and science is still baffling and mysterious. Should the black people become close students of the "facts of life" and cease their Simian and parrot-like actions, the glory of a greater civilization and a more perfect government may come to us. Who are the typical Americans? The Irish are filled with sentiments, religions and codes different from other Americans in most part. The Greeks and Italians in this country have both different philosophies and ideals from the blond Angles and Saxons. The Jews are at complete divergence with other groups which make up the American family. America is really a polygot nation and the most powerful group seeks to steam roll their ideas and ideals upon all other groups—but why should the black man be the first to adopt these ideas and ideals and the last to give them up? The Japanese cautiously and cunningly came into America and shifted out the fallacies of this country from the facts and carried them to Japan. They came keen and mentally alert, they accepted nothing on its face value and they sought the cause for every result and the reason for every conclusion, and now they are respected by the world. As soon as the black man begins to think for himself and act for himself, just so soon will he begin to climb in American affairs. The vices of the white man have become the vices of the black man and the virtues have been seized with the same groping fingers—but the black man cannot afford to continue because the vices of the white man seem to outweigh his virtues at this time and imitators should beware because American civilization from all indications soon will be pitched into the same vortex which demoralizes Europe. The black man must weigh the interests and balance the conveniences of his every act and perchance he will come into his own before he knows it. As things now are, the white man is Svengali and the black man plays the role of Trilby. Let us cultivate independence of thought and action and beware of imitations. The Kiss of Death Whenever Henry Lincoln Johnson, erstwhile politician and pseudo leader, attempts his come-back role, he fails and whomsoever he seeks to aid comes to an untimely end. His loving kiss is the kiss of death. He lately kissed our friend, Clarence Mathews, former Harvard athlete and now a brilliant lawyer. Mr. Mathews stood in line for appointment to the position of Register of the Treasury. He had the support of all Massachusetts behind him, as well as the moral support of the black people of America, but when it leaked out that Linc Johnson was sponsoring Mr. Mathews' appointment, Senator Lodge immediately and forthwith withdrew his support and Mr. Mathews has been turned down. It was the kiss of death. When a man is through he is through, and they "never come back." Henry Lincoln Johnson is through, but his power for evil doing is still active and those who are ambitious and seek to rise in the affairs of the people and the estimation of the public should avoid him because his kiss of death is fatal. Beware the kiss of death. ORIAL HEALTH HINTS By Dr. Troy Smith By Dr. Troy Smith SMALLPOX We are being warned by the Health Department of the city of Chicago that there is a very virulent type of Smallpox in the neighboring cities and entered Chicago. All persons known to be exposed to the disease in By Dr. Troy Smith By Dr. Troy Smith SMALLPOX We are being warned by the Health Department of the city of Chicago that there is a very virulent type of Smallpox in the neighboring cities and has entered Chicago. All persons known to be exposed to the disease in Kansas City, who came to Chicago, have died of the disease, four in number. Kansas City has a 34 per cent death rate from Smallbox. PETER B. There is no question about it, but that this present type of Smallpox is more deadly than the one of previous years. Sydenham states that "Smallpox has its peculiar kinds, which take one form during one series of years, and another during another." A striking illustration of this variability has been given in previous epidemics, which have been so mild in character that in many instances it has been mistaken for chicken pox. However, at present we are facing a very dangerous type of the disease, the type that kills. The Commissioner of health issues the following warnings and all citizens who stand for a healthy community will follow them. His appeal is that, "The people of Chicago are pretty well vaccinated, but are enough unvaccinated to cause an epidemic of Smallpox when the disease is constantly coming in from outside sources. If all are vaccinated, Smallpox cannot gain a footing in Chicago." He further states that "the department prefers that the vaccinating be done by the family physician, and that every doctor do what he can to secure the vaccination of families who trust him to keep them well." A warning to the public has been issued, as follows: (1) Virulent smallpox from neighboring cities has entered Chicago. (2) This type of disease kills. (3) No one properly vaccinated fear smallpox. (4) One vaccination may not be protective always. (5) Have your physician vaccinate you and your family. (6) Revaccination gives perfect protection from the disease. (7) The vaccine used is pure and can hurt no one if the vaccination is injured and is kept clean. (7) The vaccine used is pure and can hurt no one if the vaccination is not injured and is kept clean.

A ness and I would like to know if he could be convicted under (without) se conditions. J. A. H; K., Chicago, Ill.

It proved that the bond was valid. A witness and I would like to know if he could be convicted under (without) these conditions. J. A. H. K., Chicago, Ill. Answer: No. If this signature was not material to the document it did not amount to forgery. Dear Editor: My father devised his house and land "To my daughter, Mary, and her heirs forever in fee simple absolute." Mary is now dead leaving one child. Does the child get the property? J. Davis, E. St. Louis, Ill. Answer: No the child will not receive the property through that clause in the will. Where the intention of testator is that the second taker, who in this case would be the child, shall take not from him, but from the first taker, his daughter Mary, then words such as "heirs," "children," "issue," are words limiting the construction of the will and not words granting and devising the property directly. Dear Editor: I am in serious trouble, due to the indiscretion of my young nephew, a boy of sixteen years. Two young friends of his induced him to stand outside of a store and watch while they entered by breaking in and burglarized the store. The two boys who entered have been arrested, but my nephew has not, and I am wondering if they can arrest him and if so for what crime would he be charged? A. E., St. Louis, Mo. Answer: If your nephew watched outside to warn the two burglaries in case of probable detection and to give assistance if required he is guilty of the same crime as the two boys who entered and burglarized the store. He is, however, guilty as principal in the second degree. My dear Editor: My father was in possession of our farm for life, being left it by my grandfather, and early last Spring after being advised by the doctors that he would not live through the summer, he insisted upon planting the farm. He died in July before the crops were ripe and I want to know if I have the right to them as the only heir, while the farm goes to my uncle by my grandfather's will? C. I. D., Little Rock, Ark. Answer: The crops are emblems and the right to them exists in all cases where the life estate is terminated (as by death) without the tenant's fault; and the probability that he will die before maturity of the crops has no effect upon the right to them. You have the right to care-and harvest the crops which your father planted. UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP Lanier College in Georgia was purchased some time ago by the Ku Klux Klan and Wizard Simmons proclaimed its President. Now the faculty and authorities of the Ku Klux incubator proposes to change the name of the school from Lanier College to the "American" University. No one is heard to protest against this flagrant insult to the good American citizens who have been molested and injured by the Klan. It is a desecration to the fair name of America to allow the Ku Klux Klan to describe itself as American. Soon the Southern Federation of Lynchers will apply for a National Charter and style themselves the American Federation of Lynching. It was pointed out by a white newspaper last week that fourteen United States Senators and forty members of Congress were elected by the vote of the black citizens of this country. These same black voters are taxed several millions of dollars each year and yet they are not allowed a single representative in the control of the government. The present administration is cutting down the amount of political patronage that they formerly received. Whereas they were formerly allowed the position of Register of the Treasury and Recorder of Deeds, the latter has been disallowed. The irony of the whole situation is that such a paper as the Pittsburgh Courier states that we are being put through the acid test of faith. Maybe Editor Vann would like to see the thorns in our sides and holes through which the nails have pierced. One of our great writers claims that the Haitians are not ready for self determination. If our theory of government is correct and each state is sovereign in its sphere, then no state below the Mason-Dixon line is ready for self determination. No state that burns and lynches and ravages its own citizens is ready for self determination. Haiti is just as much fitted for self determination as Georgia and Texas are. A great puzzle to everybody in Chicago is, Where did the black people get all of the money that they threw away during the holidays and why did they throw that money away at a time when their brothers were in the throes of starvation and want? Y.M.C.A. News There is no more reason to refuse to accept the Christian religion because it cannot be wholly explained than there is to refuse to ride on street cars because electricity has not been entirely understood. Men have learned to apply electricity and enjoy its use unquestioningly. Why not lay hold upon Christ's Gospel and enjoy its blessings in the same way? Such was the theme of Rev. J. P. Starkford at last Sunday's mass meeting at Ebenezer Church. Next Sunday afternoon the meeting will be held at the building at the four o'clock. Rev. R. H. Walker, well known as a a reformed gambler who has been conducting successful revivals in the city, will be the speaker. His subject: "Watch Your Step!" Last week a group of leaders from the Boys' Section under guidance of Mr. Crawford visited the West Side Y. M. C. A. There these twenty-one young fellows were the guests of a leader's group and were entertained with a basketball game, gymnasium stunts, a swim and a feed in the cafeteria. The West Side groom expect to repay the the near future as the guests of Wabash. Another group led by Mr. Bryant visited the Division Street building and were the guests of the Boys' Section there. During the month this visit will be repaid and the boys at Wabash will be the hosts. These inter-department visitations are doing much to foster a spirit of mutual respect and hearty fellowship throughout the Chicago Association. Plans for summer camps for the boys are already in prospect. A benefit sponsored by society leaders is being projected to supply the proposed camp with proper equipment. F. R. Branch, master of the Y. M. C. A. Scout Troop, is the recipient of a note of thanks from the United Charities for the aid given the Milk Fund of the Society by the scouts in recent entertainment in the Wabash gymnasium.

The Armour Plumbing Club is out for new members. Their past record should commend them to new men in the yards. The Wilson Efficiency Club met this week and was elated over the success of their recent social. A vote of thanks was tendered P. F. Gales for his efficient management of the affair.

Because of the rush with Christmas boxes at the express office during the holidays, our boxes, which were collected for the inmates at the Oak Forest Infirmary, could not be delivered by Christmas Day, so they were given to needy families secured through the United Charities and to the needy children at the Enterprise Institute. Mrs. Julia A. Jackson, general secretary of this branch, has been all since the holidays, but is much improved at this writing. So long as long hair is worn, manipulating it in new designs will have its fascination. When compared with the patience of a mother all other brands of patience are counterfeit. Gifted orators soon discover that they have to do nothing else than exhibit their talent. Judge not your neighbor harshly; he may be on the jury when it is your turn to face the judge.

BOOK REVIEW By Mary White Ovington Chairman of the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Concerning the Buying of Books I received a letter the other day from a woman living in a city of the Southwest which ran in part as follows: "I read what you wrote about what the publishers said about colored people not being a reading public, and I think they are wrong. I do not think the great majority of colored people know about these books and publications, and the few who do know like myself are so poor that they have not been able to subscribe and buy like they want to. They are just too poor as I am. Of course, one can do housework at $2.50, $3.00 and sometimes $5.00 or a little more a week, but everything is mighty tough and when the necessaries of life are got there isn't anything left for books and papers." My correspondent agrees with me that only a few of the colored people know of the manifold books and publications on the Negro question, and this confirms me in my belief of the need of Book Chat. What she says of the inability of the Negro to buy books is another matter. Of course, a city that pays as low as $2.50 a week for housework, and only reaches as high as $5.00 or a little more, pay-starvation wages. One is horrified that such exploitation of women should continue. And doubtless there are other of my readers besides my correspondent who are struggling for the bare things of existence. But in the colored world as well as in the white there are large numbers of people who spend money for more things than actual shelter and food and raiment. They go to moving picture theatres, they buy a new record for the victoria, they indulge in sodas and sundaes; and if they want them badly enough, they buy books. They have the money for the thing they most want. If you believe in wide reading, you can easily train a child to indulge in it. Give him a book shelf in his room, and see if it does not soon fill up. The child knows what it likes and makes its wants known and money will be saved for the new romance or history or book of adventure. When Christmas and birthday celebrations come the harrassed relative, wanting to know what will please John or Susie sees the book shelf and glides give a contribution. The child I knew the best of all invariably asked for books as a gift and consequently had a very respectable library before she was out of her teens. It was decided that it she really wanted the Waverley novels more than a string of gold beads she should have the Waverley novels. Few parents object to pampering a child's love for books. And it is the same as we grow older. Unless we are in the tragic $2,500-a-week group, we have a margin for other than bare necessities and decide ourselves whether our surplus shall go toward a piano or a victrola, toward a plethora of moving pictures, toward personal adornment or toward a well stocked library. We choose. How fascinating book shelves are. To the lover of books, next to his own shelves, nothing is so fascinating as to browse around another man's books case. Unless the book agent has forced his wares upon an ununderstanding buyer, books reflect their owner and are indicative of his taste and interests. How one thrills at the sight of a volume of well-loved poetry in another's home. One may be almost a stranger to the person one has gone to visit, but the book at once creates a common bond. It would be illbred to scrutinize too carefully a man's furniture, but it is always permissible to move one's hand lovingly over a line of books, picking out a favorite for perusal while waiting. For my part I cling to the open bookshelves, even though the tops of my volumes accumulate dirt. I love so to see my books standing out wholly invitingly, not behind a film of glass, but where I may run my hand over them, taking one out without the formality of opening a door or moving up a partition. I got a high school girl to dust my books for me this fall. (She was not paid by the hour!) She seemed to me to take an unconscionable amount of time for the task. One week, two weeks, and it was not finished. And finally, when she had done she told me confidentially that she could not put a book back upon the shelf without fondling it in her hands and looking for a brief space into it. There is your true book lover to whom the printed page is a living thing to be fondled and loved! With the new year shall we not resolve to begin a new book shelf and once a month add a new volume to it? That would mean twelve volumes a year, twelve new friends come to visit you, not for the brief moment that the library allows but to take off their wraps and settle down for life. Be cautious how you allow them to go visiting. They are so apt to lose their way, quite madvertantly, of course, and fail never to return home. But do you know them yourself, turning to them not for one reading only but again and again. What do you think of this as a New Year resolve. Gentle Reader?
