NURSE TRIES TO KILL DOCTOR PRICE 5 CENTS Race Loses Treasury Appointment NUR Race L Make White Man Register Of Treasury Harding Ignores Precedent In Giving Out Traditional G. O. P. Plum WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.—President Harding broke the silence of nearly one year last Friday, when, without announcement, he nominated Harley V. Speelman, of Marrietta, Ohio, to be register of the treasury. The senate will no doubt confirm the nomination. Although the president broke completely away from Republican precedent in nominating a white man for this position, it hardly comes as a surprise. Politicians have been closely watching for this move by the president, and it has been conceived that his action in this case would dehintely interpret his frame of mind on the question of ennage. Has Been Traditional "Plum" The office of register of the Treasury has been a political plan which has traditionally fallen into the hands of black men. Among those who have held the office have been Wilson W. Lyons, Bishop William Vernon, and J. C. Napier. President Wilson even recognized this fact to the extent that he offered the appointment to Attorney A. E. Patterson, of Chicago, with the understanding that Attorney Patterson decline the nomination. Wilson then named an Indian, Gabe Parker. Some Part of General Scheme. The action of the president seems to be a part of a general scheme to replace black men with white in apportative offices. The following is a list of black men who formerly held office and who have been replaced by white men, and are still held by them. William H. Lewis, Asst. Attorney-general, $5,000. J. C. Napier, Register of the Treasury, $4,000. Charles W. Anderson, Collector of Internal Revenue, New York, $4,300. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Recorder of Doeds, $4,000. Ralph W.

Mob Burns 2 To Death In House OKLAHOMA CITY, Jan. 28. — A mob of striking jacking house workers composed of both whites and blacks burned William Hall and his wife to death in their home here Monday morning. Martial law may result from the disorders. Governor Robertson ordered an investigation and is preparing to call state guard units for duty in the city. Since the lynching of Jake Brooks, another vards worker on Jan. 14, by alleged packing house strikers, request have been made by citizens that marital law be dedicated. Brooks' body was found hanging to a tree riddled with bullets. He had been kidnapped by strikers and taken into the woods six miles south of here. The governor has promised clemency to any member of the mob who would turn state's evidence. Robert Allen, 27, a cousin of Brooks, in an alleged contession, implicated five white men and two blacks. They were arrested and will be charged with murder, according to the police. "FIERY GIN" PUTS EX-SOLDIER IN ELECTRIC CHAIR TRENTON, N. J., Jan. 28.—Blaming what he called "fiery gin" for his downfall, George Washington Knight, a former soldier in the World War, was electrocuted here last week for the murder of Mrs Edith Marshall Wilson, a church organist Knight is said to have wavlid the organist on her way home from church on the night of March 12 last. Medical authorities after examining the body, said Mrs Wilson died of fright as soon as Knight seized her. With Knight was executed Lewis Lively, slayer of Matilda Russo, 7 years old. Lively's murder of the Russo girl last June aroused the state to a great pitch of excitement, and his lunching was narrowly averted. BOAT CAPSIZES WITH TWO. BEAUFORT, S. C.

CHICAGO, SATURDAY, JANUARY 28, 1922 SLAVERY IS FOUND IN ABYSSINIA Declare British Legation Full of Slaves Owned by Employes. LONDON, Jan. 28.—That Abyssinia is the last home of open slavery; that in its capital, Addis Adeba, there are more slaves than free men, and that the British legation there is full of slaves owned by legation employees, are assertions made by two experienced correspondents of the Westin Gazette, who latter have been in Abyssinia. The newspaper publishes the first of a series of articles by the correspondents, detailing present-day conditions in Abyssinia. The correspondents assert that of the slaves alleged to be in the British legation man are British subjects having been captured by slavers in British territory. They declare that not only the slaves who have entered the legation compound are not instantly set free, but if they have escaped from their owners the latter can enter the compound to recapture them. The article declares that France, Great Britain and Italy, having bound themselves under the arms convention of 1919 not to supply munitions to the Abyssinians, it is now only America who is importing arms into Abyssinia, arms which are designed to assist the slave traders. At present, the article continues there is a large consignment of American cartridges and automatic rifles lying at Jubata awaiting the consent of the French authorities for its transport into the interior, and it is believed that the French, not being much in love with the convention of 1919 and fearing at incident with the American government, which probably knows nothing whatever about the affair, may shortly give their consent. The correspondents described conditions in Abyssinia as anarchy. The whole country has fallen into corruption and decay. Brigands abound. There is no sanitation. Traveling to the interior is dangerous, but any trader who dares tell of conditions would be blacklisted and probably expelled from the country. In an editorial on the article, the Westminster Gazette suggests that the British foreign office has preferred to Blaze Strips Girl's Clothes From Body Frances Lewis, 18, 3320 Calumet Ave., narrowly escaped being burned to death Sunday afternoon when her clothing caught fire from a gas heater on the second floor. The girl became frightened and dashed down stairs in ball of fire. She stumbled and fell insensible when all her clothing was burned from her body. Mrs. Super 3626 Vernon Ave., administered first aid to the girl and she was rushed to the County Hospital, where she is not expected to live. Landlord Slain Making Peace Among Tenants Landlord Slain Making Peace Among Tenants HOUSTON, Texas, Jan. 28—Dr. Nathaniel F.

The murderer was traced through Mississippi, Oklahoma and Arkansas. say as little as possible about the alleged scandalous conditions, and calls for the abandonment of the "rush policy" and for the full light of publicity to be thrown on them, both in England and the United States. "Who would have thought it possible," says the newspaper, "to see anywhere in the world in 1922 ten thousand newly captured slaves marching in one gang to lifelong captivity?" The editorial adds that it is unfortunate the United States did not sign the 1919 convention, "but we feel sure the state department at Washington, once it realizes the situation, will make its attitude clear." The ancient empire of Abyssinia, or Ethiopia, has an area of about 350,000 square miles and an estimated population of more than 8,000,000. "KILLED HIM WHEN LOVE GREW COLD" Woman Tells Judge Hubby Was Asleep and Did Not Feel Bullets "He was asleep when I killed him; it didn't hurt him, judge; he never felt it," was the explanation given by Mrs. Grave Pearl, 24, 4815 Indiana Ave, when arraigned for a preliminary hearing for the killing of her husband, Luther Pearl, at their home, Wednesday morning. "He didn't love me like he used to. When I found a letter from another woman in his pocket, I killed him." Pearl is said to have entered his home Tuesday night and began boasting about "what a man he was with the ladies." His wife then began searching his pockets and found letters from another woman, it is said. He turned a deaf ear to his wife's angry quarreling and went to bed. Mrs. Pearl then got out of bed and placed a revolver against the sleeping man's car. She pulled the trigger and Pearl's brains were blown out while he slept. Mrs. Pearl is being held, pending the outcome of the coroner's inquest. DEPORTATION OF BULLOCK FROM CANADA FOUGHT NEW YORK CITY, Jan. 25—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, has announced that its assistant secretary, Walter F. White, had gone to Buffalo en route for Canada, to assist in the efforts being made to prevent deportation of Matthew Bullock, a colored man whom it is sought to take back to North Carolina. Bullock is charged with having instigated a race in Norlina, North Carolina, following which his brother and one other man were lynched. The riot originated about a year ago in a dispute over some apples for which Bullock's brother had paid. He was offered an inferior grade and protested. A bystander suggested that he be shot. That night a lynch mob formed. A fight ensued in which 6 white boys and 3 colored boys were shot. Later that night Bullock's brother and another colored man were taken from the jail and lynched. Bullock fled to Canada, entering that country from the United States on March 13 last. Because of his having entered Canada without inspection he is subject to deportation. Appeal to stay the deportation has been made to the Canadian government in Ottawa. Should Bullock be returned to the United States nevertheless, efforts will be made to have him held in New York State, whose governor will be asked to deny extradition to North Carolina. DOCTORS RESENT TREATMENT AT ST. LOUIS HOSPITAL Dr. Clarence H. Panne, 4832 Langley avenue, has returned to Chicago from St. Louis, Mo., following his resignation as internee from St. Louis City Hospital No. 2. In a statement giving his reason for resigning Dr. Payne said that the actions of Dr. R. C. Haskell, white had caused deep dissatisfaction and resentment among the internes and would result in an investigation by city officials. The chief complaints made by the internes is that they were required to obey the orders of white nurses and act as nurses during surgical operations. After several ineffectual protests Dr. Payne handed in his resignation. Chicago's Most Popular and Widely Read Weekly PRICE FIVE CENTS DOC Barred From Dixie CTOR GILPIN NOT WANTED IN DIXIELAND NEW YORK CITY, Jan. 25.—A report has reached here that title of "Emperor Jones," has been barred from the South by the Ku Klux Klan. His contemplated tour of the South, therefore, has been temporarily abandoned. Played in Richmond Gilpin and the company in which he is star were playing in Richmond, Va., when a warning was received that his appearance would not be tolerated further below the Mason-Dixon line. In Richmond the show was greeted by packed houses and the audience seemed to overlook the fact that Gilpin was not a white man. While in Virginia a letter was received by Gilpin with a Ku Klux Klan signature. It advised him not to continue his contemplated tour of the South as long as he played in a company of white players. The route of the show was then changed by Adolph Klauber, under whose management Gilpin is playing, and the troupe is to tour Ohio. Sexton Closes Church When Pay Is Overdue Sexton Closes Church When Pay Is Overdue Sexton Closes Church when Check is Overdue WILMINGTON, DEL., Jan. 28.—Claiming his salary had not been paid for three months, the sexton of the Richardson Park Church here locked the building, cut the bell rope and posted a sign reading: "Closed by order of the Janitor," on the front door. When the pastor arrived at the edifice to open a revival meeting he told the early arriving worshipers of his plight, and repaired to the home of the sexton. The man was obdurate and refused to surrender the keys until his salary was paid. Later the assistance of a rural policeman was sought and when he threatened to place the sexton in jail the keys were given up and the belated service began. 3000 Ask Mayor To Fire Black Policeman EVANSVILLE, Ind., Jan. 26.—A petition has been circulated throughout the city asking Mayor Bosse to discharge all men of color on the police force. More than 3,000 citizens are reported to have signed it. The mayor promised a thorough investigation of the police department, and said that the black men on the police force had been given their appointments in recognition of their service in the World War --- FIRES THREE BULLETS; ONE TAKES EFFECT Doctor Miraculously Escapes Death When Discharged Nurse Shoots in Revenge Dr. Isaac Abrahams, a physician with offices in the Angelus Building, 35th St. and Wabash Ave., was shot and seriously wounded shortly after 9 o'clock Friday morning by Mrs. Florence Brooks, 4032 Wabash Ave., who was employed by the doctor as a nurse and office assistant. According to a statement made by Dr. Abrahams from his bed in the Provident Hospital, he was shot by Mrs. Brooks in a spirit of revenge. He had discharged her from his service the night before. Mrs. Brooks, who was a graduate nurse, had been assigned by Dr. Abrahams to attend the wife of Dr. Norman T. Potts, who was ill. She had been at the home of Dr. Potts all day Thursday. Thursday night she returned to Dr. Abrahams' office and found him administering treatment to a woman patient. According to Dr. Abrahams Mrs. Brooks conducted herself in such a way as to embarrass him and his patient. He therefore paid her her week's salary and discharged her. The woman then canvassed the Angelus Building in an effort to borrow a pistol, it is said. After leaving his office Thursday night, Dr. Abrahams spent the night at the Antilles Club, 3524 Michigan Ave. It is said that Mrs. Brooks sought him there during the night. Failing to find him, she returned to her assignment at the home of Dr. Potts and spent the night. According to Dr. Potts she seemed extremely nervous all night. Friday morning when Dr. Abrahams returned to his office he found the women in his office waiting for him. "Last night you insulted me before your patient, now I'm going to pay you," she said. Drawing a pistol she fired three shots at the doctor. The first bullet struck him in the left temple just back of the eye, fracturing the frontal bone, and passing out over the right eye. His left eye was blinded. He was rushed to the Provident Hospital, where it was at first feared he had been fatally wounded. Later examination proved that sight in the right eye had also been affected. He was attended by Dr. Roscoo Giles, who stated that Dr. Abrahams' wounds would not prove fatal. Dr. Abrahams is a native of British Guinea. He has been in Chicago eight years, and is a graduate of Chicago Medical College. Detroit Rids Itself Of Prof. Locks DETROIT, Mich., Jan. 28.—After a bitter fight lasting several months, Benjamin Locke has been ousted from the Detroit school system. Although a highly educated man and a graduate of Howard and Columbia University, Prof. Lock has been seriously accused of contributing to the delinquency of young boys. He is thought to be homo-sexualist. The ousting of Prof. Lock followed a bitter fight between Mayor James Couzens and the Detroit school board. Prof. Lock obtained some mysterious and powerful influence with the school board, and was exonerated by a vote of four to three, and his salary raised from $220 per month to $400 per month. A bitter newspaper fight arose over the situation, some of the Detroit daily papers denouncing the professor in lengthy editorials. The mayor of the city finally exerted his executive authority and prevented the appointment. EIGHT PAGES Had Been Discharged Tried to Borrow Pistol Returns Next Morning ```markdown ``` The Dixie Flyer PRICE BULLETIN 2 HOME RUINED MAYOR ASKS DAMAGES CHATTANOOGA, TENN., Jan. 26.—In a heated lawsuit in the circuit court here T. C. Thompson, a former mayor of this city, has sought to recover $2,000 from Dr. T. S. Hubbard, white, a former northerner, because the doctor allowed one of his servants to live in one of the best rooms of the "big house," and this fact had greatly deteriorated the value of the house. The plaintiff insisted that the house had been leased by Dr. Hubbard for a period of time, and that the lease provided that the house was to be returned to its owner in as good condition as when occupied. Instead of being kept clean and in good condition, it was insisted that the premises had been allowed to get in a very run-down and unclean condition, furniture was broken, the walls and floors of the house injured and numerous other damages resulted from the occupancy of the house by the Hubbards and their servants. The principal charge made by the plantiff, was that Dr. Hubbard had allowed a colored woman to live in the house, and that this had forced him to destroy the beds and bedding used by her, as well as to repair and repaper the room used by her. He said that the fact that the tenant permitted her to stay with him caused considerable comment among neighbors and resulted in decreasing the rental value of the property. He stated that Hubbard had come here from the North with ideas about racial equality which did not fit with local customs, and that he had remonstrated with his tenant on the practice of allowing the woman to remain in the house. The doctor denied all the charges of Mr. Thompson and stated that he felt as keenly on the race question as did his landlord. He said it had been necessary to keep the Negro woman in the house to afford protection for his wife while he was away at Fort Oglethorpe administering to the soldiers, there being no available servants' quarters. He denied that he believed in racial equality, and the argument of this case became so heated that charges made by one witness on the stand were frequently answered by the other from his seat in the room. The case had been tried once before, having on the former occasion resulted in a verdict for damages of some small amount for the plaintiff. However, neither side was satisfied with the verdict and the case was appealed, being remanded on the ground that the judge had instructed the jury that Mr. Thompson would be entitled to recover rent from the date of his removal till the date of the expiration of the lease the following September, whereas he would, under the law, be entitled only for the PRIC Now $1,195 Touring Car WITH its clean, racy body lines, ebony trimmed, its handsome top with gypsy curtains and plate glass rear window, the Dixie Flyer five-passenger Touring Car, Model 70, includes mechanical refinements that denote unusual skill in engineering and offer the user much comfort and satisfaction.

KEAN Calumet 250 Believe Black Soldiers Convicted Without Overseas Veteran Tells of Witnessing Executions of Two Black Soldiers. WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.—Testimony was given before a senate investigating committee by L. C. Mason, white, of Davenport, Ia., who served overseas with the 28th Engineers, that two black soldiers hanged near St. Nazaire, France, in August, 1918, for assaulting a French girl, had been picked out by the girl as her assailants from a camp housing 20,000 men. Mason gave it as his opinion that the men had not received a fair trial, explaining that when the girl had first started out with an American and a French officer to find the men she alleged had attacked her, she apparently had not known whether they were white or black, as she first was taken through a camp containing only white men. The witness said he did not personally know whether the men had WOMAN WINS SUIT AGAINST JIM CROW TREATMENT LITTLE ROCK, ARK., Jan. 28. Mrs. Virginia D. Sutton, of Chicago, was given judgment for $50 by a jury in Third Division Circuit Court a few days ago in a suit for compensatory damages, brought against the Missouri Pacific Railroad. According to the testimony, the woman bought a ticket to Little Rock and boarded the train at Jacksonville, Fla. She alleged that the conductor required her to ride in the smoking car as the passenger coach was filled and that when she refused to do so, the train was stopped and she was put off. The original suit was for $3,000. There is some comment among the residents here as that is the first case where a colored person has won a suit in this section against jimcarrow car methods. rent due up to the time of the filing of the suit. This time the jury was instructed that no recovery could he considered based solely upon occupation of one of the rooms by colored people.

Asked as to the general reputation of the girl, Mason testified that she was generally known as a "loose woman." Mason said he witnessed the double execution at a distance of about a half mile, where he was working on a road. Several hundred soldiers were gathered around the scaffold, he continued, and he had been told that the order read to the men in the near-by camp carried a warning that the execution be a lesson to the other soldiers. After its session the investigating committee adjourned until next Wednesday, but after learning that Mason had arrived here, Chairman Brandegee called a special session for today, so that witness could return home. RACE ISSUE DEFEATS SCHOOL BILL IN MISSISSIPPI JACKSON, MISS., Jan. 28, 1922—A bill to establish schools for adult illiterates introduced by State Senator Bell was defended today in the upper house of Mississippi legislature. The race question was injected into the debate and was reported to be the main reason the bill was lost. The need of such a bill in Mississippi becomes apparent when it is known that 23,921 white people in Mississippi cannot write, to say nothing of the 20,581 black people in the same condition. Mississippi is far down in the list of states from an educational standpoint and is destined to remain so as long as it allows its race prejudice to prevent the passage and enforcement of constructive legislation. One out of every ten illiterates in Mississippi is white; nine out of every ten are black. In spite of this, according to figures of the Research and Records Department of the Chicago Urban League, almost half of the Negroes of school age and over one-fourth of the white people of school age, are not in school; from this it can be easily seen that though there may be slight improvement in Mississippi's condition it is destined to be a "back woods state" for a long time yet unless it changes its attitude. Thus prejudice hurts white as well as black. ETIN radiator, bumper and ventilators are nickeled trimmed.

Michigan Avenue THE CHICAGO WHIP $35,000 SPENT, N. A.A.C.P. ASKS AID TO FIGHT LYNCHING NEW YORK CITY, Jan. 26—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York City, today issued the following statement calling for financial assistance in the fight to make the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, H. R. 13, a law. "In its ten-year fight on lynching," the statement says, "the N. A. A. C. P. has spent almost $35,000. The association's anti-lynching fund, which it is sought always to keep at the $10,000 mark has dwindled because of the heavy demands made upon it. Those demands have included personal investigations of lynchings, mass meetings, world-wide publicity. The old canard that rape is a cause of lynching has been finally and once for all exploded. "During almost a month's debate of the Bill in Congress, the secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. has been in Washington in constant conference with leaders in the House of Representatives. An enormous mass of information collected by the N. A. A. C. P., and newspaper editors based on statistics of the N. A. A. C. P. have been inserted in the Congressional Record and will be read through the country. "The N. A. A. C. P., confident that its work has been effective and has made the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill a national issue, calls upon citizens for such contributions to the anti-lynchin fund as they can afford. What is it worth to colored Americans to continue unabated the fight to blot out lynching in the United States? When the Bill has been passed by the House of Representatives, it must still be enacted by the Senate. To bring this about strenuous work is necessary. The association will furnish the work. Will its friends furnish the funds? "Donations of sums from one dollar up will be welcomed. Make checks payable to J. E. Spingarn, treasurer, and send them to the N. A. A. C. P., 70 Fifth avenue, New York. What will you give? Now is the time. If you do not act now, you may not have another opportunity for many years." Wolfsohn Speaks At Pilgrim Church M. E. Wolfsohn of the Real Estate Mortgage and Bond Corporation, spoke at Pilgrim Baptist Church Sunday night to a large crowd. In an eloquent address he showed clearly how the black people of Chicago were being made dupes of real estate operators and that the only salvation lay in organizing their dollars so that black dollars would work for black people. He exposed the methods of the Hyde Park and Kenwood Protective Association and presented startling facts which brought aplauses and tears from the audience. Mr. Wolfsohn will appear again soon at some southside church, as his message is one that every black person should hear. Another New Yorker Turns Cop Killer Another New Yorker Turns Cop Killer NEW YORK CITY, Jan. 28—Policeman Otto Mutz was mortally wounded Thursday in a gun fight with Frank Whaley, who was being detained in the 123rd street police station pending an examination as to his sanity.

TWO MEN AND A WOMAN DANCE IN A TWO-PIECE DANCE. PROGRESS OF LYNCH BILL RETARDED BY REPUBLICANS PROGRESS OF LYNCH BILL RETARDED BY REPUBLICANS NEW YORK CITY, Jan. 25—The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill was taken up again for debate on Tuesday, January 17, and the debate was continued on Wednesday the 18th. The Democrats continued their filibuster to prevent consideration of the measure. The debate on Wednesday was another test of the strength which the bill has as it took a two-thirds vote to suspend the calendar Wednesday, according to press bulletins issued by the N. A. A. C. P. The debate on both days was at times very bitter. The most effective opposition to the bill, however, came not from the Southern Democrats but from certain Republicans, notably Mr. Hersey of Maine, and Mr. Reavis of Nebraska Speeches of the Southern Democrats were bitter in terms but absurd in their reasoning. The bulk of their argument consisted in repeating the exploded canard about rape being the cause of lynching and in denunciation of the negro. Fourteen hours of general debate were assigned to the bill. About 13 hours have already been consumed. Further debate will go over to Tuesday, January 24. The leaders propose to finish the debate and proceed with the reading of the bill for amendments. The possibility is that the bill may come to a vote at the end of the week of January 21. Friends of the bill must not be over-sanguine. Some of the Republican members are weak on the bill and there are sure to be a number of amendments proposed which would weaken the bill. Friends of the bill must continue to urge their representatives in Congress to support the measure and prevent its being emasculated. LEGLESS HERO ARRIVES WITH FRENCH BRIDE NEW YORK, JAN. 28.—Harry Demerite, 23-year-old war veteran, who lost both his legs in the World War while fighting in France with the Canadian forces, was admitted to this country by Ellis Island authorities.

Following release from Ellis Island they went to the British consulate, No. 20 Pearl street, to obtain the necessary papers to permit entrance to the Bahama Islands, where Demerite says he intends to start in business. Walden Univ. Has New School Site NASHVILLE, TENN., Jan. 28. Sale of the property of the City View Sanitarium, on the Murtreesboro pike, to the board of education of the Methodist Episcopal Church was recorded in the office of the county register.

The latter will make a number of improvements, costing, it is estimated, several hundred thousand dollars. Tulsa's Burned Section Almost Rebuilt TULSA, OKLA. Jan. 28 - Tulsa's burned section, wiped out in part by the conflagration which swept the district as an aftermath of the race rioting of last June, is again approaching a condition of normalcy. The tented city that sprang up in the wake of the flames and offered shelter to hundreds of homeless, has been replaced in large measure by comfortable two-room houses. Ninety of these houses have been built, largely through efforts of the American Red Cross which has acted as agents of a number of relief organizations contributing to the alleviation of the condition. HANGS HIM MAYO, Fla., Jan. 28—A mob overpowered officials here last week, took an unidentified man who had been accused of killing a white farmer, and lynched him. The lynching occurred after a three-day search through the country for the man. THE MAC NEAL PUBLISHING CO. (Incorporated) CHICAGO OFFICE: 3420 STATE ST. PHONE VICTORY 4506 JOS. D. BIBB, L. L. B.

Admitted as second class matter, Oct. 21, 1919, at the Post Office at Chicago, Ill. under the Act of March 3, 1879. Rev, David P. Johnson, Pastor. The beginning of the series of Ten Sermons upon the life of Elijah was marked by the distinctly, novel man- harked over of delivery by Rev. Dr. David Johnson, pastor. There was more logic combined with spiritual persuasion set forth in this initial sermon than the writer has ever witnessed before in the city churches. Not only did the minister thoroughly dissect the character of a woman's influence (Jezebel), but applied, clearly and logically the posi- ner of delivery by Rev. Dr. David Johnson, pastor. There was more logic combined with spiritual persuasion set forth in this initial sermon than the writer has ever witnessed before in the city churches. Not only did the minister thoroughly dissect the character of a woman's influence (Jezebel), but applied, clearly and logically the position in Elijah within the crevice of the "Rock" as that of a Christian in the Hope of today. Reverend Dr. Johnson is a character portrait artist. He makes one see the picture. His method is similar to that of Dr. W. D. Cook. He transmits the spiritual ardor in the manner of S. E. J. Watson, D.D. The house takes up the Spirit. He is a scholar, too. Howard U did its duty by him. God evidently finished the job, because he is a thoroughly religious preacher. The "bandana" or "I preach for white folks" feature is entirely absent. He preaches for those who love him and respect all his people. Next Sunday he will continue the sermons. He will tell you whom he believes to have been the "Ravens." Come out. Miss Magnolia Lewis conducted the choir in a perfectly artistic manner. She usually does this. The church was crowded at 11 A. M. Come early. The Olivet Baptist Church L. K. Williams, D. D. Pastor. Last Sunday morning the pastor preached to a large audience from the subject: "Open Books." In the evening he delivered the annual installation address to all the offices of the church for the new year, in which he pointed out the duty, and qualifications of church officials. It was a masterful address filled with sound logic and good practical advice. At the close of the address the whole audience arose, and pledged themselves to stand by their pastor and church this year in a way that they have never done before Next Friday morning the pastor will lecture at the University of Chicago Divinity School, on: "How to Make a Church Count in the Community." He enjoys the distinction of having been the first race minister to speak on the campus of the Great University of Chicago. Sunday evening he will fill the pulpit of the Tabernacle Baptist Church white, and the following Sunday evening he will fill the pulpit of the First Baptist Church, white, at Racine, Wis. There will be good gospel preachings all day next Sunday at Olivet. On Monday evening, January 30, the Employment Department will present a drama of real life, entitled "A Noble Outcast." It is a play that appeals to the sympathy of the human heart. The public is welcome to all services. Three good choirs, and several quartets will furnish splendid music every Sunday. People's Interdenominational Church The People's Interdenominational Church invites the public to attend its services.

The sermon Sunday morning, following as it did the new election of officers, was an inspirational one. Rev.

And the tervor ran high. Additions to the congregation. The choir under Prof. J. W. Jones was great. Mr. William R. Reynolds Mr. William Banks was elected to A. URCHES the trustee board. The other trustees were elected, Dr. R. C. Giles having resigned.

Justice Wasservogel in the Criminal Branch of the Supreme Court announced that Luther Boddy, slayer of Sergeant Francis J. M. Buckley and William A. Miller, must appear before him for trial on January 23. The court set the date after former Judge Morris Koenig, counsel for him, had entered a plea of not guilty. Mr. Koenig protested that he would not be able to proceed with the defense for at least three weeks, but Justice Wasservogel ruled that if the defense was not prepared by January 23rd an adjournment could be requested. The arrangement was preceded by an exciting scene at the entrance to the courtroom. A crowd of about 1,000 persons had gathered in the corridors long before 4 o'clock, the time set for Boddy's appearance last Friday. When attendants opened the doors there was a rush for seats. In a few seconds at least 400 of the crowd were jammed between the outer and inner doors of the westibule. Women screamed, and several policemen and attendants from other courts tried to restore order. Little headway was made, however, until James A. McNamara, an attendant who formerly played football at New York University, took a flying start from inside the courtroom and dove headlong into the jam. The impact tumbled several who were trying to force their way into the courtroom in a heap, and in a few seconds attendants formed a path through which about 300 men and women were admitted to seats. Plea of Not Guilty Entered Then Boddy was led in, handcuffed to Deputy Sheriffs Spnelman and Petrick. After the formal plea of not guilty was made, District Attorney Banton asked that the trial be set for the earliest possible date. "In justice to this defendant and with same knowledge I have acquired in this case," interposed Mr. Koenig. "I cannot assent to such an early trial as the District Attorney desires. It would deprive us of all means of procuring evidence for the defense and the opportunity that the law contemplates he should have. I have no objection to a speedy trial, but to me that means a trial compatible with the dignity of the State and the rights of the defendant." "It is not the purpose to deprive the defendant of any rights," said the District Attorney, "but in the interest of justice we want the trial as early as possible. It isn't asking too much to set the trial for ten days from today." "I'll set the trial for January 23," announced Justice Wesservogel. "Mr. Koenig, I am sure Mr. Banton will give you the aid of any process services you may need in obtaining witnesses and evidence." "I don't mean to say that the District Attorney wants to go unfairly to trial," replied Mr. Koenig, "but I know my own case. I'm the only person who can say how much time is necessary to prepare the proper defense. The Court in my opinion should not set the case for less than three weeks." Offers Pick of Staff to Defense "If Mr. Koenig needs the assistance of my staff, I'll place at his disposal any of our investigators and let him select the one he wants," said the District Attorney. "You can't ask more than that, can you, Mr. Koenig?" asked the court. "Well, acceptance of such an offer might lead to complications which the statute may not look upon with favor," replied the counsel for the slayer. Roddy then was led back to the Tombs without Mr. Koenig saying whether he would accept the offer. After the negro's departure, Herman Hoffman, associated with Mr. Koenig in the defense, said: "If this boy gets a white man's chance, and if we get twelve jurors who will hear the evidence with open minds, Boddy will not go to the electric chair. After knowing Boddy for a short time, no one could possibly consider him a desperado. We have several startling surprises under cover which will be disclosed when Boddy is tried." District Attorney Banton was informed of Mr. Hoffman's statement and replied: "Well, he'll get a white man's chance before twelve of the best jurors New York can produce." Mr. Hoffman would not discuss the promised disclosures, but it was said the defense contemplated having him recite the various heatings he was alleged to have received from detectives during the six years of his criminal career in the Harlem district. Insanity Plea Was Expected The prosecution had expected the defense to join an insanity plea with that of not guilty, and offer the beatings as the basis for his alleged mental disorder. District Attorney Banton said he was prepared for such a plea. He had sent Drs. Menas S. Gregory of the Psychopathic Ward at Bellevue Hospital and Edward E. Hicks of the Psychopathic Ward of Kings County Hospital to examine Boddy in the Tombs, but Mr. Koenig refused to permit the alienists to see the prisoner. When they appeared at the prison Boddy was being examined by Dr. Richard H. Hoffman, an alienist, of 1057 Madison Ave., employed by the defense. Assistant District Attorney Dineen then accompanied Drs. Gregory and Hicks to Justice Wasservogel's Court, where the Assistant Prosecutor asked for the appointment of a lunacy commission to examine the slayer. The Court took the names of the alienists, but intimated that he would not act on the request unless the defense entered an insanity plea. Oliver Clark Enters Race For Legislature Oliver Clark Enters Race For Legislature The latest entry into the legislative field from the third senatorial district is Attorney Oliver A. Clark, with offices at 3457 S. State street and who resides at 300 E. 33rd street. Mr. Clark is one of our best equipped and most favorably known lawyers, having received his education at the Ohio State University, University of Wisconsin and Northwestern of this city, and having been actively engaged in the practice in this city for the past ten years. Attorney Clark is president of the Citizens' Relief Republican League, an organization not allied with any political faction, which is fostering his candidacy. In addition to heading this organization he is Supreme Attorney of the Legion of True Protectors; National Attorney of the National Equal Rights League and Treasurer of the Cook County Bar Association. A public reception will be given in his honor Tuesday evening, January 31, at the residence of Mrs. Laura B. Griffin 3350 S.

Washington Annual Charity Ball Now A Season Event WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 26—The Third Annual Charity Dance given under the auspices of the Northern Conference of the Associated Charities Organization of the District of Columbia held Friday evening, January 13th, 1922, was a monumental success. The ladies of the organization carried their slogan into every part of the city and now social, business, and professional. Washington looks forward with eagerness to this annual event which is designed to have the Colored people more largely share in the effort to care for the worthy sick and indigent of the city. The Murray Casino, 920 You Street, was the scene of the first brilliant affair of the year 1922. Men aged women well-known in social, business and professional circles throughout the nation were among those who came to make the benefit ball a success. Among the Washington matrons who were responsible for the affair and who have devoted much time and effort in charity work in Washington are the officers of the Northern Conference of the Associated Charities of the District of Columbias Mrs. Emmett J. Scott, Chairman: Mrs Laura Bruce Glenn, Worker in Charge, and Mrs. J. Hayden Johnson, Chairman of the Finance Committee, Assistance was given the ladies in connection with the holding of the charity ball by Mr. A. H. Glenn and Colonel Brooks, who acted as official host. Many beneficial results have come from the efforts of the officers of the Northern Conference of the Associated Charities of the District of Columbia during the past year. Aside from holding a number of benefit halls and promoting other programs in the interest of the work, during the Christmas holiday season, a Community Christmas Tree was erected at the Dunbar High School. Over eight hundred children were given various presents and were served ice cream, cakes and candies. Among those who assisted in making the Community Christmas Tree a success were: Mrs. Tessie L. Connelly, representing the Dunbar High School; Mrs. Charles H. Fearing, through whose efforts a large contribution was obtained from a number of friends; Mrs. Garnett C. Wilkinson, Mrs. Otho Peters, and Mr. E. B. Henderson. A large number of the teachers of the various public schools in different sections of the city made contributions to the fund for the Christmas tree. The Dunbar Community Center in addition to making a contribution co-operated with the ladies of the Northern Conference of the Associated Charities and the result was the most successful community Christmas tree.

We shall reply to the Jetters, etc., from persons connected with St. Paul, Berean, St. John's and Evanston, concerning dates for our Different Kind of Concert, before the end of this week. DATES, THEN, MAY BE ARRANGED. Our Sunday afternoon or evening appearances, only when a week's notice is given in advance. We appear in Gary during February. Announcements later. St. Mark's Lyceum is expecting you next Sunday afternoon. Guess who is going to be on the program? Correct. Going to sing, too! So we know that you will be there. We requested the management to put us on for a soprano solo but they would not do so. O, hum! Seems we'll never get a chance to show our voice in song! That the way you feel? CHORAL ORGANIZATIONS The Institutional Choir, Miss Magnolia N. Lewis conducting, is showing the ladies just how a lady conductor can "put over" numbers. We told you that she could. So last Sunday we visited and witnessed the numbers. The choir is spreading out a bit in classical and spiritual numbers, Mabel Tolbar, and Gentlemen Reeves and Lewis, Curtis, Miss Loraine Brown and others (names lost) deserve special mention for excellent voices. The tenors are "high up." Come out next Sunday. The Bethel Choir, Professor J. A. Mundy directing, are now nearing their great presentation of operatic perfection in the Auditorium next month. There will be a few changes in the personnel of the stars within the cast, but Mr. Mundy is equal to any rearrangement and their fine work Sunday retains the perfect confidence of their great following in and out of their church. The public waits eagerly for the appearance Ebenezer Choir, J. A. Taylor conducting, is starting something in the way of forcing recognition in the eyes and hearts of the music lovers. They are showing just what is in them and people who did not know much of them are sitting up and noticing the new voice which are cropping out beside the standard favorites in this body. A report of their appearance (in part) with the all-star program at St. Matthews Church on Monday the 23rd will be found elsewhere in this issue. There will be special news of this organization next week. We propose to tell why certain changes are being made therein. The Metropolitan Community Center Choir with Prof. J. Wesley Jones, conducting, R. Emerson Brown, orchestra, will be noted under Sunday Evening Club and M. E. Church. Pilgrim, and Walter's Choral notes are late for this issue. What is the delay from Berean, St. John's? Do you want the Family to forget you, or what? HOWARD GRADUATE GETS TWO APPOINTMENTS IN BALTIMORE BALTIMORE, Md., Jan. 20—Dr. Alphonso D. Stone, graduate of the Howard University School of Dentistry in the Class of 1917, and who is now practicing dentistry in Baltimore, with offices at 1621 Lumid Hill Avenue, has recently been selected by the U. S. Veterans Bureau to care for the dental work of claimants under the Bureau who reside in his district. Dr. Stone has also been appointed to a position as dentist in the public schools of Baltimore by the Commissioner of Health as a result of a competitive examination in which he stood second among those who successfully competed.

The Hi-Art Musical and Dramatic Club was out in a body at M. C. C. Sunday evening to hear their numbers upon the program. The pianists were upon the program. Walter A. Ellis the pianists were o. k. The Reader, Mrs. L. C. Thompkins, evidently, was not quite familiar with the period of time usually allotted readers. Also it might well be explained, that this being her first appearance within this auditorium, it was not to be wondered that she misgaged the possible radius of resonance—it was not possible to hear her voice in the balcony. Really, she is able to "beat" that number by 100 per cent; a much shorter selection; louder tone; advantage! We "backed" her, because we know her ability. Therefore, WE ASK ANOTHER CHANCE, Prof. J. W. Jones, She Can do better. The South Side Literary Society held its election of officers last Sunday. The result will be published later. We hope that a lady (Mrs. Lilliard, Miss. Jackson or some lady who can organize) will be elected to a prominent position in the club. How about Mrs. C. J. Jenkins? Mrs. Ione Trice could do the trick, or Mrs. Irene Maxwell. Try em! Mr. C. J. Jenkins is too busy in school just now. Van Buren Miles is "a literary — —!" Keep your eye upon him! Fine!! The Alpha Dancing Club is now about ready to pull the new features of which we advised you. You will see in next issue a plan which will "go over the top." Mr. Alfred Williams and his bunch are having tremendous success in the Eighth Regiment Dances each Friday eve. Come out next Friday and see what is going on. Special. Theroekeele Social met on the 20th and really held a meeting of class. See program elsewhere in this issue. Grace Lyceum Sunday afternoon presented the bunch from Gary and other numbers "high up." (See elsewhere.) The Standard Literary Society has decided to hold "open door" this next term. The reason why it failed to deliver last term was because they sought no outside communism with other societies and the FAMILY. They knew that they never received support from the inside. It pays to hold "open door". Ask China! Then you have a "Jonah", too—"the litry gent". You know? The one who "cops" the invitations and programs from other societies, etc., and who likes to pose about! Can you use any rat pizen, bad hootch or sompitin? St. Matthews Church is organizing a literary society. We are going to enroll as a member. Are you? The Ideal Woman's Club has arrived in the FAMILY. We remember you—last August. Draw right up and smile. Their combination reception and birthday party was held with Mrs. Pauline Smith at 6141 Aberdeen St. Mrs. Annie Turner is president. More next week. Thank you. The American Rose Art Club is inviting you to get in touch with them and their whist parties held at the Railroad Men's Club Rooms, near 'Wabash and 34th street. The organization has some talented members, too. Glad to see you back after six months, but that letter which we sent you STILL GOES! Not at all! Come again! The Sioneli Adelphia Girls held a delightful meeting at 4534 Indiana avenue Saturday, January 21st. Mabel Moore, secretary; Virginia Hill, president, Welcome! O, look who is here! The Devil Catchers! Now, we are afraid that you stopped at the wrong number. You had better try the Sporting Page, or "Nosey," for that "report" was not a report at all. It was propaganda. YOU CANNOT PULL THAT ON US. However—good-bye! Don' return: The Great Sunday Evening Club of M. C. Center, with Mr. H. A. Watkins, Ch. Prog.; J. Wesley Jones, and R. Emerson Brown in charge of music, and Dr. W. D. Cook, director, pat over the musical of the day Sunday evening, 7:45 to 10. We beg to omit the fine criticisms which might be made upon the big numbers by Mrs. R. D. Crawford and others—also the choral body, because of lack of space, and permit us to dwell upon R. Emerson Brown and his orchestra. In first and last analysis and condensed criticism; he has an orchestra!

A. just half the sum of nine thousand dollars, which is the objective of the drive. This was the report on Monday noon. Since then and through the week the community is being combed and canvassed for the remaining forty-five hundred dollars. Financial conditions are making necessary a house to house and store to store canvass to raise from many sources the amount needed to carry on the varied activities of the association during the year. Sunday Speaker at Y. M. C. A. Mr. Michelaedes, representing the Greek government in studying Y. M. C. A. policy and methods in this country, will be the speaker at the men's meeting next Sunday afternoon. Mr. Michelaedes is a native of Saloniki, anciently called Thessalonica. It was to an early church planted in this old town by the Apostle Paul that the Epistle to the Thessalonians was written. The talk will be of special interest to Bible students. The meeting last Sunday was notable not alone because of the address of Dr. J. M. Brown, but especially because of the initial appearance of a "gospel quartette," organized by W. W. E. Greene. This added musical feature will greatly enliven the 4 o'clock meetings at the Wabash avenue building. Abyssinia Can Get Arms Abyssinia Can Get Arms France Has no Right to Hold up American Shipment: WASHINGTON, Jan. 28—Officials of the state department today could not throw any light on the London report published in The World stating that a consignment of American ammunition intended for Abyssinia is being held up at the French port of Jibut. Apparently nothing was known at the state department either concerning the consignment of American arms or the alleged widespread prevalences of slavery in Abyssinia, for which British correspondents charge the arms are to be used. It was pointed out that American manufacturers have a clear right to ship arms and ammunition to Abyssinia. In some quarters the suggestion is made that the slavery situation in Abyssinia may have been painted blacker than the facts warranted as a sort of preliminary to action by some European government in grabbing the only remaining Africa tree state on the ground that slavery must be eliminated.

YOUNG'S BODY TO AMERICA WASHINGTON, Jan. 28. — The body of Col. Charles Young may be disinterested from its resting place in Lagos, Nigeria, and brought to the United States, it was stated in the war department this week.

The right of black men to have members of their race on the juries which indict them is to be tested in the Supreme Court of the United States. Charles Bradford was convicted of assault to murder before the 37th District Court of Bexar county and sentenced to seven years imprisonment. The state Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the judgment of the trial court, but later a writ of error was granted and the case will go on to the United States Supreme Court but will be fought hotly by the state officials. The petition to the Supreme Court gives the following as grounds for appeal: No members of his race and color were permitted or allowed to serve or sit upon the grand jury which indicted him but were excluded on account of their race and color and for no other reason. All members of his race were and have been so excluded and prevented from serving on the grand jury in the Bexa Court for many years. This discrimination amounts to a violation of the first section of the 14th amendment by denying equal protection of law. Issue Appeal For Celebration Of Douglas Birthday The Call of Douglass. BOSTON, MASS., Jan. 23.—The National Equal Rights League from its national headquarters at 34 Cornhill, opposite the spot from which Crispus Attucks set out for the Red Coats March 5, 1770, has issued the following appeal on the coming anniversaryes of Douglass and Attucks: AN APPEAL TO COLORED AMERICANS FOR RACE ACTION. Fraternal Greetings to our Colored American Group at the unfolding of the new year from the National Equal Rights League of the U. S. A., which makes heart appeal to all brothers and sisters, proscribed for color to start a-new sturdy, internal concert of action for full American rights. January is the month when our status became persons and not property, February when a great freedom champion was born of us, March when our race produced a martyr for creation of this very Republic. Manumitted now three score years less one, even then as soldiers saving the Government, let us resolve that we whose blood was first to flow to found here a nation shall not be the only group denied public rights at least through a lack of our own. Douglass Day, February 14, and Attucks Day, March 5, afford the present opportunity. Colored Americans cannot win, or deserve to win, against this contempt on our race if we are blind to history and ourselves fail to meet the requirements for success. Frederick Douglass set the example. Starting his agitation under the noble white abolitionists, he later struck out to wae a Colored man's cruade for the freedom of the colored race, from Rochester, N. Y., to London. He saw the law of success, "Those who would be free themselves must strike the blow." White friends objected, but it proved to be strength for our cause, a Garrison movement for the enslaved, a Douglass movement by and for the enslaved, giving added prestige to the race The Equal Rights League, therefore, suggests to the race and urges public observance everywhere of the 115th anniversary of Douglass' birthday on his great principle of ourselves striking a blow. This can be done by celebrations under colored committees which on that occasion or thereafter become permanent colored organizations for self-defense of rights in the spirit of Douglass, branches of the National Equal Rights League. This national race organization, oldest in the field, was formed to enable the race to have what every other race already has in full force except our own, a nation-wide race agency. These local bodies in communication with the league's national headquarters will enable us to "Ourselfs Strike a Blow." Thus will Douglass be truly honored February 14, and permanent bodies formed which will not hinder or interfere with any other organizations, doing what others do not do, carrying out measures, suggested by national headquarters, and especially observing the anniversaries of Crispus Attucks, March 5; Peter Salem, April 19; Fort Wagner July 18, and so on.

Negro official of N. A. A. C. P. secretary of Pan-African Congress, editor of Crisis, delivered an interesting lecture on "The Future of the Darker Racers." He pointed out the discontent and unrest of the darker races as an indication of the "rising tide of color." His audience was composed largely of the aristocratic and intellectual members of both races. On conclusion, an interesting open forum was created for the purpose of answering questions bearing upon the so-called "Negro Question." As usual when an intelligent Negro lectures to so-called intelligent (?) whites the first and paramount question is, "Do you believe in social equality and intermarriage?" To which the clever diplomatic, shrewd, polished, refined and cultured doctor answered, "Who started the mixing? The white man deposited his bastards throughout the world, which proves conclusively he is a strong advocate of social equality. The meeting came to an end when a prominent colored attorney asked, "Why do the editors of the country spell Negro with a small "n"? Because of ignorance or pure cussedness?"

FOOTE To Mrs. Blowe is due great credit for the progress she has made in our village as school teacher. Wonderful work has been accomplished. As there is so much more expected of her than heretofore. She has accomplished in four months what it has taken others from one to two years, and her classes are under wonderful control. She is loved by them all. The children are given a great deal of mental work, and not so much written, which was so much needed. It makes the children interested in their studies, and one can see a child now on an errand with his book, studying his lessons for the next day, and some are so anxious they go to her home after school hours. So Mrs. Blowe is really teaching two schools a day. The children's studies compel them to work hard and she has put forth every effort to encourage the children, and I know the parents are proud of the special attention each pupil receives. The funeral service of James Edwards, brother of Mrs. Jennie Smith and John Cercher was held at J. W. Greens undertaking Chanel Saturday, January 21, at 2 p. m.

Baptist ministers are at last waking up to the necessity of improving the social conditions under which their members live as well as preparing them for the life to come. Dr. Charles Stewart of Chicago, general missionary of the National Baptist Convention spoke along this line at the Macedonia Baptist Church here. Dr. Stewart said in part that too many Negroes die early, that is, before they are 50 years old. There is no good reason why they should not live until their allotted 70 years have passed. "It is time to quit dying and live, put on the brakes, call a halt; for every human being should live three score and ten years, the time which God has given and then by so preserving the laws of health add on a few more years. We are going to stop preaching so much about heaven an old paved streets and slippers and wings, and talk a little about earth, the mud-paved streets and how to get through the sand. We want to know a little more how to live and a little less how to die. Living is the essential, and right living at that." BAILEY ELECTED PRESIDENT M. T. Bailey, 3638 S.

GENTLEMEN:— Without obligation to me, please send further information concerning your Company. O NOSEY was sitting in the barber-shop the other evening waiting to get his curly locks trimmed and touched up a bit with a certain kind of hair dressing that "does wonders for stubborn hair." A man with an "ever-ready" smile was in one of the barber chairs. Another gentleman entered the shop. The man in the chair smiled his best and said, "Hello, Sam, how you got 'em,' to the one entering the shop. The newcomer stopped and looked at the laughing face of the man in the chair and then said, "For the love of Pete, stop your laughing, so I can see who you are." Only then did Nosey realize why the man looked so funny when he laughed. ONE of these cold nights like those that have been present with us for some time is going to make a regular lodge out of at least one man, anyway. Nosey noticed this well dressed gentleman enter apartment after apartment, ring the bell and talk animatedly to the party in the warm flat on the other end of the tube and then walk off to do it all over again. After he had made about seven houses, Nosey was as cold as the gentleman that was doing the extensive calling. As it was about 1 o'clock and getting colder every minute, Nosey decided to give up the game and go home as the gentleman took up his seat in a restaurant which stayed open all night. He looked so comfortably set for the night and seemed to know the lone waitress so well. Nosey concluded that the gentleman was going to wait there for breakfast time. Some men are oueer. --- SOME of the mistakes of the telephone operators will one day be the basis of a divorce if it happens in some of the well regulated families whose acquaintance Nosey holds dear. While trying to get a number the other night, Nosey was switched into a conversation between a man and a woman. He recognized the married lady's sweet tones and also the cooing accents of the single "man-about-town." A then strangest and most dangerous of all the heavy voice of the lady's husband cut in. The cooing ceased and the wife talked in cold and crisp accent to her dear husband who hung up. The sweet lady then resumed her conversation with "the man-about-town." Nosey did not have the heart to give them another scare by imitating hubby's voice, because he might have caused heart failure. Did it ever happen to you? If not, "have a care." . . . EVERY store does not have the same rules as a pawn shop. Nosey dropped into a place where not long ago he remembered a young man had rushed in frantically and left his watch as security for payment for goods which he must have for that evening's enjoyment in the charsets. On this visit to the place, Nosey overheard the man with whom the watch had been left, trying his best to pawn the watch, charm, knife and all to another man as the frantic cabaret youth had not been back to redeem it. Had it not been for the good offices of a friend of the frantic youth, the watch and all "its charms" would have been one step farther removed from its owner. It shows that you need more than a chain to hold your possessions where they ought to be when times get hard. Save your money if you have any. YOU should get in on the new game that some "advanced cull" is playing in the "Community Flats. Everybody owns what the other fellow has. One family or all of the families might sit at the table of any other family in the house and cat and walk out without even helping wash the dishes. Well, Nosey was just investigating the Community Flats to see how the scheme worked out when he heard such a row that he thought they were trying to move the apartment. It was simple enough. One of the tenants was trying to kill another because he found out that this tenant had moved into his flat while he and his family were away. This was done because there was no heat or water in the other. However, the life there moves along quietly with the exception that every now and then these differences occur. It is to be expected even in community life. THE ST. MARK'S LYCEUM. The St. Mark's Lyceum will present an unusually fine program next Sunday afternoon at 5 p. m.

I do not promise impossible cures, I simply apply the knowledge of years of experience honorably and faithfully.

No matter what has been the cause of your condition come and talk it over with me.

Stringtown, Miss. Dear Friend: While sitting thinking of the old home town this afternoon I thought I would write you to let you know that I got here alright and am having a great time meeting old friends and seeing the town. I am stopping Idlewild Hotel at 33rd and Wabash avenue and I have a nice room that only costs $5.00 per week, although it is very cold here, but they certainly keep plenty of heat in the hotel, and you know I don't care how cold it gets as long as I have a good, warm room to stay in. You remember old George, don't you? He came up here last summer a year ago. Well, I met him the other day, and believe me, we are having some time. He has been taking me everywhere. Old George is some sport. We went to see two pretty mamas yesterday, and believe me, they were some kids. Old George won't ride a street car—he has a favorite taxi company—The Dreamland Taxi Service—and they certainly are cheap. Why, they only charge 20 cents a mile. Anyway, as I was saying, we went to see the chiks, and they were all dolled up—and we went to the Dreamland. And, man, you talk about class—you ought to see the Dreamland. It is the swellest place in town. We were there until it closed, and we had some time dancing and listening to the entertainers. You've heard Miss Alberta Hunter sing on the Black Swan Records, well, she is one of the entertainers. She came over by our table and sang and your old George gave her a dollar. Well, old George is a hot guy anyway. And after we left the Dreamland, about 1 a.m., we went to the classiest restaurant in town—the Tavern at 35th and State streets—and you talk about service. They gave it. Everything in there is first class. The waitresses are always clean and white, and the food! You don't want any better. But the main thing is that the check lets you off light, after you get all of this good food and service. Well, this is about all I have to say this time, but will write you again soon. This leaves me well and having some time in the big town. Good-bye. JAMES, J. JOHNSON. P.

Foster's Career an Inspiration to the youth of America By DAVE WYATT. CHICAGO, Ill., Jan. 26.—The third annual meeting of the National Association of Colored Professional Base Ball Clubs got off to a good start here Thursday. All of the western circuit clubs sent in representatives, and many new faces were seen, all seeking franchises or working agreements with large base ball body. From appearances right now, the present conference of the base ball solons indicate bright hopes for the colored devotees of the games in the near future. Andrw R. Foster. "Rube" Foster, head of the governing body of colored professional base ball clubs, really wastes time when he has cards printed or is introduced to anyone. You don't need any identifications or credentials when you see "Rube" Foster approaching. Of course, you may know his name, but you will instantly and naturally realize that you see a leader and a chief. If Foster walks down the aisle of a dining room, the waiters will scramble to find him the one best table the instant they see him drawing near. In short, Andrew R. Foster is quite some man; of absolutely gigantic size, and with a dignity that few giants can assume. He is at least a size larger than Harry Wills, and bears his 43 years with the general appearance of 33. Few men of such magnitude can carry themselves with ease and grace. Most giants don't know where to put their hands or how to guide their feet, but Andre wR. Foster is as light and graceful as a bantam. The life history of "Rube" Foster could be quoted as an interesting lesson, both to the youth of America and the pessimists who are always contending that this country "doesn't give a fellow a fair chance." Born in Texas, taking the great chance of adventure in the big cities of the north and east, winning his HAMPTON, Va., Jan. 28—Hampton defeated Carlisle Field Club of Washington, D. C., 29 to 19, in a hard-fought, well-played game. This victory came as sweet revenge, since the visitors won over Hampton last season 28 to 27. The first half ended 11 to 10 in Hampton's favor, but at the beginning of the second half the "Seasiders" started sensational passing and shooting that took the Capital City boys off their feet. Before the timekeeper sonuded his whistle Hampton had rolled up 29 points to Carlisle's 19. Both teams played a hard, clean game. Turner for the visitors and Saunders and Gunn for Hampton were the stars of the game. Summary HAMPTON, 29. CARLISLE, 19. Sanuders. R. Gilmore Cornish. L. F. Robinson Watley. C. Turner Gunn. R. G.

Much interest is manifested in the coming fight here between Panama Joe Gans and Oscar Batiste. The two will fight fifteen rounds to settle the middleweight championship of the southwest. The fight is to be staged at the new Crescent Star Athletic club. SPORTIVELY SPEAKING By A. E. MONROE. Jack Johnson wants to sharpen his punches on Bill Brennan in preparation for a match with Dempsey, which sounds alright but why pick on Brennan. Bill Tate escapes Wills' K. O., goes on stage. Another reason why O'Connor should go on the stage. The Weddell Philips guads stuck closer to the Tilden forwards than the Proverbial Leech. The Philips orchestra was a big hit with the crowd. Oh you jazz. Miss Florence Griffin, Philips' girl vell leader, took up where the orchestra left off and proved as big a hit. Frank Young, local sport writer, was here, there and every place in an effort to see that the rooting was cope. Ata boy Frank. The once famous Tinker-to-Eversto-Chance slogan may have contained more rythm than Dempsey—through the color line to stage, but we doubt it being more of a sure shot. Defenders to Leave Friday for East Defenders to Lead Friday The Chicago Defenders play one more game Thursday January 26, with local (white) team at the "Y" after which they board the eastbound train for their first eastern invasion this season. Games will be played in Xenia, Cleveland and Indianapolis before meeting The Sparting Braves, St. "C" and other leading teams of the east way without the slightest help from wealth and influence, Andrew R. Foster gained his first renown through the aid of his good right arm, backed up by a good head and unlimited ambition. Base ball gave him health, knowledge of the country, all acquaintance and a little money. All these items helped him to acquire the honorable place that he now occupies in the country's business affairs. "Frankly," smiles the gigantic Foster, "I regard my base ball position as an honor not one bit inferior to those who have a place in the halls of state and nation. Twenty-five years ago the presidency of a base ball league would have seemed a small affair in comparison to many other offices; now it's a position of responsibility and importance Base Ball a Melting Pot. "It's a great game, this base ball—and it's more than a game. It's a vast business enterprise where the public is a criticizing partner. The public supports it, and doesn't hesitate to express its opinion about its protege or the men who are managing its affairs. Talk about melting pots and levelers of caste! Is there any place in the world, excepting at a ball park, where you can hear a rich man asking a laborer to give him the correct score, or a laborer asking his new found friend, the capitalist, what was the name of the pinch-hitter? Base ball is the real mixing machine of American citizenship, and base ball friends are among the most enduring ever formed. It's a wonderful game; it's a game that has done a great deal for me, and, in return, I am happy to have an opportunity to do a little more for base ball in the future. I am proud of my position in the game, and believe me, I am just as proud because, for years, I was a private in the ranks." They don't make any better fellows than Andrew "Rube" Foster nor any men who can hold popularity any better. "Some man," fits the colossal executive, and fits him well. THE SOUTHERN LEAGUE MANAGERS HOLD MEETING AT BIRMINGHAM, ALA. Magnates of Southern Association Make Plans for Season of 1922 BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Jan. 28. Thursday and Friday, January 5-6, the owners and managers of the Southern Colored Baseball Association met at the Dunbar Hotel in Birmingham Ala., and held a two days' session, making plans for the coming season in baseball circles.

W. Miller, owner of the Memphis Red Sox, has employed Mr. Chick Cummings as manager, and they promise to give the Memphis fans the best baseball seen here in many years, reaching back to the days of the old original Memphis Union Giants. They have a crack club lined up and are going in from the start as pennant winners. Mr. Miller made the trip to Birmingham and was made vice-president of the league. He is also proprietor of the Liberty Auto Shop and Garage at 127-9 S. Fourth St., and is putting down the money on the Red Sox, with no limit, to the very last dollar. He says, "Watch out, boys, the Red Sox are sworn to bring the bacon home." Open for correspondence, write the The officers of the league are: T. W. Perdue, president; J. W. Miller, vice-president; F. W. Coffield, secretary; Bob Thomas, assistant; Thomas Wilson, treasurer; C. Cummings, chairman.

Drexel 6752 THE CHICAGO WHIP RECORD CROWD SEES TILDEN TIE WENDELL PHILLIPS RECORD CROWD SEES TILDEN TIE WENDELL PHILLIPS In one of the best games ever seen at Philips Gymnasium the fast Tilden Quintet who had been forced to trail Philips throughout the first three-quarters of the game and seemed certain losers, with less than three minutes to play, staged a belated rally that swept the Joint League Leading Philips from their feet and when the dust cleared away what once seemed a safe lead had dwindled, the curtain bell had rung, the score stood ten all, and likewise Philips had seen her chance to become undisputed leaders of the Chicago league dwindle in the smoke that followed the terrific Tilden onslaught. It was a great game featured with close guarding and long shots on both sides. Spiers a Real Star Strips, the Philips center, was the out-standing star of the game, scoring eight of the Philips' total of ten points, was equally as good at defense and offense and with a little more coaching should become one of the truly greats of the game. Johnson at guard was good in spots and at the time of his injury was going like a house a-fire. Tilden Lights Win. The opener in which the Tilden lights won 15—8 was a good game, having a slight advantage in weight and showing team work to a better advantage. They experienced little trouble in winning. The Philips were slow getting started and not until the second half did they register a single point. It was too late then, however, as the former had the game tucked away and had only to remain on the defensive. HEAVIES W. Philips (10) B. F. P. T.

The leader of the orchestra early last night received a telephone call asking him to play at the new country home of "Mr. Sams." At midnight a car called for them at the hotel. Five miles outside the city it was surrounded by a band of about seventy-five men and the flogging followed.

An so it is we make mention of this because a recent occurrence at Wendell Phillips High School proves that the most that can be said concerning good sportsmanship is hardly a "Lamp Full of Oil." Following the game between Philips and Tilden in which Johnson, Philips' promising little guard was accidently hurt, a number of mischievous youngsters collected at the cast entrance to the gymnasium, as the Tilden team and supporters were leaving, and began making improper remarks at them. We were glad to learn that none of the players were involved in the affair; in fact, a large percentage of the youngsters did not know the cause of the intimately uprising; however, through mere curiosity and mischief proceeded to join in the pursuit. Now, this may have been intended fun and it may have not, but regardless of their intentions, fun is fun, and when anything is carried to the extreme, until it hurts, as was this, it ceases to be fun. It would be a great thing if parents of these youngsters would investigate this affair: it would be an easy matter as the average child is not as well versed in ways of avoiding accusations as the hardened criminal, and when their identity is ascertained should be punished to the limit. It would surely be a blow to have Philips barred from high school competition, and a few more occurrences of this kind would surely justify the board in doing so.

Tate is determined to convince the public that he is the real champion and if what the Chicago sport followers believe is true, it will only be a short while before the public will begin to clamor for a Dempsey-Tate bout. It is to be remembered that Tate put the Kayo on Dempsey one afternoon in a sparing match and Dempsey way down in his fighting heart is deemed to have wholesome respect for the big colored champ.

Y., Jan. 20.—Out of the enthusiasm now being manifested in the turf game, and the rapid return to recognition as one of this country's major sports, arises the pertinent question: "What has become of the famous colored jockeys?" Long recognized as the best caretaker of horse-flesh in the world, the colored rider rose to a place of the greatest prominence just prior to the Civil War days. They were the natural custodians of the horses owned by their masters throughout the South, and when any of them, on showing unusual skill was permitted to ride or train horses, his fidelity was never questioned. In those old days, a horse won or lost on its merit. "There were no "framing" of the races. And when your 98-pound jockey climbed into the saddle, it was a foregone conclusion that horse and rider, alike, were intent on only one thing—"bring home the bacon." Of such material was the famous rider, Abe, who rode many of the winners in the South before the war, and was the pilot of Leconte in his match with Lexington. The colored jockey flourished long after the eman- Howard Wins High at Ringln Penn. Relay Races Howard Wins High at Ringln Penn. Relay Races Howard Wins High Rating in Penn Relay Races. Track Team Has Schedule of Brilliant Events for Season. Washington, D. C., Jan. 26. Another year of brilliant indoor track and field successes is expected by the Howard University track team with the announcement of its entry in a number of meets for the coming season. The members of last year's track team have already reported to Coach Morrison for training and along with them have come a large number of recruits. Of the most significant events in which the Howard track team will participate this year is the Penn relay games to be held under the auspices of the University of Pennsylvania on Franklin Field, Philadelphia, in April. This year Howard has been listed to compete in the one mile college relay against institutions having a higher rating in this event than those against whom he competed last year. Howard's success in the one mile college relay last year, having taken first place, tended to increase the interest in this college sport at the University and it is predicted that although the Varsity relay team is to compete in a faster class this year, it will becoming acquit itself. Schedule Includes Four Meets. Up to the present time. Howard University has been entered for the Melrose games to be held at Madison Square Garden, New York City, on February 1, 1922, to compete in the Are Your Valuable Papers Safe? 1,000 New Safety Deposit Boxes Have Been Installed in Our Vaults 7 cipitation proclamation, and a generation ago, Isaac Murphy, a colored rider, was in as great demand as any of the white boys; while Stoval Barnes and lesser lights could hold their own with some of the best white horsemen. In a still later period, in the early 90's in particular, colored jockeys were seen in the saddle in practically every contest on an American race course, Simms, Alonzo, Tiny Williams, Penn Hamilton, Chorn, Morris, Lewis, Perkins, Winkfield, Thompson and many others were in demand and earned enough money to render them independent, if saved. Few, however, kept any considerable portions of their earnings; Winkfield, who went to Russia and is still in the saddle, being engaged by a German sportsman, was alone conspicuous for his thrift. Now, however, things have changed. It is rarely, if ever, that one seen a colored jockey sporting the silk of any particular stable, and it always causes considerable comment. Among the ranks of the caretakers, however, the colored man maintains his position of honor. Buck, who has the care of Man o' War, would not trade his job for that of any other calling in life as he knows it. It is the same wherever the colored man, with a love for a good horse is found. 600-yard indoor run; the University is sending four men to participate in events in the Boston Athletic Association games to be held in Boston. Mass., on the 4th of February. Two teams are to be entered in the Penn relay games to be held on Franklin Field, Philadelphia, Pa, on April 29 and 30, 1922. Last year only the varsity team was sent to these games composed of Messrs. Craft, Contee, Perry and Robinson. This team won its event over a large number of competitors. A Frenchman team and a varsity team will compete in the games this year. Mexican Promoters Are Trying to Match Johnson and Champ NOGALES, Ariz., Jan. 28.—Mexican boxing promoters hope to arrange a match between Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion, and Jack Johnson, former champion, in the near future at the Plaza de Toros, in Mexico City, according to reports here Thursday from the Mexican capital. Those backing the enterprise are said to have declared that Dempsey has agreed to fight Johnson. The public in general, according to reports, is manifesting great interest in the proposed match. LOS ANGELES, Cal., Jan. 28.—Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion, will not meet Jack Johnson, former champion, in a match at Mexico City or anywhere else, Jack Kearns, Dempsey's manager said here Friday when informed of reports from Nogales, Ariz., that Mexican promoters were trying to arrange a bout between the two pugilists.

EDITORIAL PAGE Eternal Differences-Bunk Arthur Brisbane, writer for the Hearst papers, in a recent editorial, glibly assures the reading public that there is a "fundamental and eternal difference" between the white man and the black man, thereby agreasing with President Harding's omniscent opinion. His "proof" is the museum comparison between an African savage's skull and the skull of a "superior" white man. The white man's forehead is nearer the perpendicular than the African savage in this comparison. If Mr. Brisbane would look a little further along in that same museum, he would also find that there are some skulls of white savage tribes whose foreheads have the same angle of declination as those African savages. This display might confuse the five-year-old child, and perhaps for this reason most of the museums do not display these skulls which are so like the African savage. Incidentally, just how does all of this apply to social privileges of free born American citizens, who "are created equal." It might also be asked of both Mr. Harding and Mr. Brisbane, whose intelligence must recognize that evolution has and will effect unforeseen changes, just what supernatural powers they possess that they are able to state that the difference they seek to prove MUST BE ETERNAL AND EVERLASTING? What manner of men are these? HEALTH HINTS There is no other disease of the digestive organs that is so painful and so hard to cure as gall-stones. Often chronic sufferers of gall-stones require operations before they get relief. Yet I do not believe that there is a disease countries where rice is the main article of diet the disease is rare, and in temperate and cold climates where more meat is consumed it is more common. The free use of fats is said to be a cause, but the excessive consumption of fats is liable to cause a catarrhal condition of the lining of the intestines. Gall-stones, like tuberculosis, is a disease of civilization. It is unknown in the tropics where the natives get plenty of outdoor air and exercise. Deep breathing is a valuable means of promoting the flow of bile and hence an important means to prevent the formation of gall-stones. Alcoholic stimulants are best avoided, especially ale, stout porter, champagne and beer. If any alchoholic drinks are taken, they had better be light wines and a little whiskey and water. Drinking plenty of water particularly before meals is also beneficial in the prevention of gall-stones; also the wearing of loose and warm clothing prevents the formation of gall-stones. Any constriction such as tight lacing not only hammers the function of the gall-bladder, but prevents the liver from doing its part. UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP EDITOR. Death has carried away some great men in the last week—Col. Charles Young, Senator Boise Penrose, Pope Benedict, Ex-Ambassador James Bryce, Governor Bickett of North Carolina. The call of death came to each of them and without regard to race or color each answered in his turn. When we think of equalizing the faculty of death and how it levels all forms of life it seems so ridiculous and senseless for men to grapple at each others' throats during the short span of years during which they live side by side. If the world would only accept in spirit and in truth the principles of brotherhood how less ironical would the tragedy of death appear. Marcus Garvey disappoints the public in his answer to the charges that the government has placed against him. He is accused of using the mails to defraud the public, to-wit: advertising stock and passage on a ship which does not exist—a ghost ship. Garvey answers that his enemies are trying to persecute him because of jealousy, which may be all well and good, but the public is interested in the ship. Where is it, Mr. Garvey? We will be glad to state your side of the case to the public, but who wants to know of your personal grievances? When the country raved over President Harding's pre-election speeches and the black man's press exalted him to the skies and hailed him as the second Abraham Lincoln, the Editor of Chicago Whip closely analyzed his speeches and saw the great joker in them and warned the black people to expect nothing great to happen on March 4th, 1920, when Mr. Harding would take his seat. "Beware the Ides" of March was scoffed and hooted, but now Mr. Harding appoints a white man to the position of Register of the Treasury. We wonder what the "Bureau of Legislative Relief" will have to say thru its spokesman, the overripe "Georgia Peach," Henry Lincoln Johnson? We wonder if our contemporary, the brilliant editor of the Pittsburgh Courier, will still say that we are being put thru the acid test of faith? We wonder if the editor of the Star of Zion will go back and construe the President's Birmingham speech and strike a sane conclusion as to its merits? Now that cold, ice and snow grips the great city of Chicago, and starvation and suffering lurk in every shadow, we look back into the summer months when the great conventions held sway and the strutting peacocks in tawdry braides did proudly prance down State Street. Many good dollars were spent for pomp and show. The advice to save and economize flowed off of their backs, but let's remember "the lilies of the valley, they toil not, neither do they spin."

WITH DUE REGARD FOR RIGHT, WITH PURITY OF MOTIVE IN OUR EXPRESSION, WITH CONSCIENTOUS COMPASSION FOR STRICKEN HUMANITY, WITH UNSTINTED CREDIT TO THOSE WHO MERIT, WITH TRUTH AS OUR GUIDE POST AND LOVE AS OUR INSPIRATION, WE HAVE COMMITTED OURSELVES TO THE WORLD OF JOURNALISM. WE HAVE DEDICATED OURSELVES TO PUBLIC SERVICE. The Ides Of March Bring The Crucifix President Harding has appointed a white man to the post of Register of the Treasury. This is the position which had been awarded to black men under former Republican Presidents. President Harding, notwithstanding his political equality platform, evidently does not feel that prominent political positions should be held by black men. His pre-election promises have failed. We stand abashed and murmur that the Ides of March have come. A. B. Bitterness should not color the mind of the black Republicans; instead, with cool and calm deliberation, with dispassionate intelligence, the political policies of the present administration should be considered. The reasons for the President's attitude should be sought after and the future activities of the black Americans should be mapped out and outlined. The black man faces a problem of political readjustment and the cold, unembellished facts must be dealt with, and dealt with without party sentiment and traditional tenderness. What has the black man done to cause a diametric change and difference in the dispensation of national political patronage? He has kept his escutcheon clean as far as loyalty to the Republican party is concerned. His hope and faith in the party which sponsored his liberation from the chains and shackles of slavery has never faltered nor wavered, and the great hordes who bask and revel in ignorance, superstition and legendary myths have held the name "Republican" sacred and inviolate, and to speak against it would be deemed sacrilege and blasphemy. The black Republicans' fidelity cannot be questioned; it is one of the purest of American fancies and over and above the duplicity and calumny of present-day politics it hangs unsullied, untrammeled and undefiled. No one can attribute the changed attitude towards the black man to any act of unfaithfulness or dereliction in the performance of his political duty. Who dares to question his loyalty and love for this great land of America when the trail of his blood leads us from Bunker Hill to Carrizal, from San Juan Hill across the seas to the battlefields of the Argonne Forest and No Man's Land? No one can question his patriotism and to even think of such a thing leads us nowhere and befuddles the problem. Has the black man shown unfitness and inability to handle positions of national importance? Again the record books are clean and no incumbent of public office has ever been chagrined by the accusing finger of suspicion. Even the black men who formerly held positions of public trust, such as Recorders of Deeds, Registers of the Treasury, Collectors of Port and Internal Revenue, etc., have filled these positions with unassailable integrity and no department of the Government entrusted to their supervision has suffered because of inefficiency, incompetency or dishonesty. No position has been abused or misused by black men and none can claim them unfit for public office upon that score. The black people are growing in wealth and intelligence. They are seeking the best the country affords along educational pursuits and no racial retrogression or deterioration can explain why the Republican party should change its policy towards them. It has been repeatedly hinted through the editorial columns of this paper that northern Republicans had decided to wipe out the Mason-Dixon line and smash the solid Democratic south and make it Republican. This could only be done by patronizing the southerners. Patronizing the southerners means the political crucifixion of the black man; and on the cross he hangs at this moment while the south exults over its victory. First evidence of the thorns in his side, the cup of hemlock and the pierced hands fell from the lips of President Harding when he said: "I will appoint no black men to office in the south, even if later on some black men should vote the Democratic ticket," and the refusal to appoint a black man to the position of Register of the Treasury stamps and seals the new-found policy of our former friends. We need not ask further, "Why hast thou forsaken us?" We know, or reasonably should know, the reasons, and it now behooves us, the black people of America who are affiliated with the Grand Old Party, to save ourselves. The problems of political salvation are intricate and complex and only keen diplomacy and delicate strategy can substantially solve them. As long as our leaders, politically, fence and finesse for jobs for themselves alone and overlook the great price that we the great mass of common people are forced to pay, little can be expected. One of the prime requisites for our salvation is the appearance of men of courage and unselfishness, men who will not place personal gain above racial loss. With our leaders heretofore no great spirit of self-sacrifice and self-abnegation has been in evidence, but it will come, it must come, and the desertion of our former friends accelerates its arrival. If our means and methods of voting are open and well known by all, then we must make them unknown and instead of being definite and determined we will become unknown political quantities. We may be even driven to treat with our foes in order to win back our deserting friends. The Ides of March have come, as the Editor predicted, and quoth the Soothsayer again: Yes, but not gone. The Ides of March brought a cross to the black Americans—but let's remember that unless we bear the cross that we will wear no crown. THE CHICAGO WHIP By Dr. Troy Smith GALL-STONES of the gastro-intestinal tract that is so easily prevented as that of gall-stones. The prevention of gall-stones lies in the proper care of the body, particularly, the bowels and stomach. This disease is seen more often in females, who are the victims of constipation, faulty methods of clothing, sedentary habits, tight lacing and other unhygienic measures. Occupation.—Occupation plays an important role, as the sedentary, such as clerks, writers, certain kinds of business people, inmates of asylums, homes for the aged, and workhouses, yield a larger percentage of victims than those leading an active life. Diet.—Diet is a factor in the production of gall-stones, more by induction than direct influences. Errors in diet may cause intestinal trouble and, eventually, gall-stones, the chief cause. Excessive eating is causative in this way. It has been stated by some that starchy foods favor the formation of gall-stones, while a protein diet has the opposite effect.

GAINES. Industrial Secretary. Mortgage Corporation Pays Dividends Mortgage Corporation Pays Dividends Following what they believed to be the most effective plan to combat the Hyde Park and Kenwood Protective Association, a few public-spirited citizens organized what is known as the Real Estate Mortgage and Bond Corporation, for the purpose of buying and selling mortgages and notes secured by real estate. But the real purpose of the company was to find a way by which the owners of property could find a way to refund the mortgages fast becoming due on their property. The only promise made by the organizers was that if the colored people of Chicago would awake to the great danger that confronted them and invest their money, their money would do a two-fold good; first it would help save the life-time savings of our home purchasers, and also their money would earn them eight per cent a year, almost three times what the bank pays them. Pays Dividend The officers and organizers of the Real Estate Mortgage and Bond Corporation have made good upon both of the promises so made. On the third day of January the Real Estate Mortgage and Bond Corporation mailed out to the preferred shareholders their dividend checks for the year 1921, which were at the rate of eight per cent for the year. Also during that period it was instrumental in the obetaining of about $60,000 of loans for colored people. The company has among its shareholders several of the most conservative investors among our people, who realize the crying need and critical situation that confronts us. It is said that the banks of the City of Chicago have deposited, in them over twenty million dollars of money that is the property of colored people, yet there is hardly a bank in the city that will make a loan to a colored person on his or her property; in fact, it is a known fact that some of the banks in which there are large deposits of colored money are the most active in the fight against the colored people owning property in the City of Chicago and it is their money that is used to buy up the mortgages and then foreclose them. The Real Estate Mortgage and Bond Corporation should receive the unqualified support of all home-loving and respecting citizens of Chicago, for the only way that we can effectually combat the forces that are fighting us is to make our money work for ourselves and not against ourselves. Protest meetings won't get us anywhere, but making our dollars do a dollar's worth of good will at least protect our homes. The Mulatto To His Critics Ashamed of my race? And of what race am I? I am many in one. Of Red Man, Black Man, Briton, Celt, and Scot, Through my veins there flows the blood In warring clash and tumultuous riot. I welcome all.

Chairman of the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "THE WINGS OF OPPRESSION." By Leslie Pinckney Hill. Published by The Strattord Company, Boston, Mass. Price $2.00, postage 15 cents extra. Back in the days of controversy concerning Industrial versus College Education, the Independent published a sonnet entitled "Tuskegee." It was perfect in form, descriptive of the labor of the dusky toilers at engine and anvil, asking what the end of their toll would bring. It concluded with this sonnet: "Dear God, we dare not answer, we can see. Not many steps ahead, but this we know— If all our toilsome building is in vain, Avaluing not to set our manhood free, If envious hate roots out the seed we sow." The South will wear eternally a stain." Recognition of the beauty of the sonnet was at once expressed from many sources and Leslie Pinckney Hill took his place as an American poet. Since then it has been a disappointment to his admirers that economic determinism, as we love to call the need of earning a living, has made his output very small. At last, however, we have a volume of his poems, sixty-eight in all, that is a source of satisfaction to those who have been impatiently waiting to hear more from this Negro poet. As would be expected from the author of "Tuskegee," some of the poems in the volume are taken up with the wrongs of the Negro in America, among them lynching, a Jim Crow restaurant, the Jim Crow car. The Jim Crow car ends with these delightful lines: "In lofty mood I mount the reeking box. And travel through the land. So Terence once Moved in old Rome, so—wondrous paradox— Moved Esop in old Greece, the dwarf and dunce. Then I reflect how their immortal wit Makes the world laugh with mockery of it." But the poet's sympathies are wider than his own race. "Who are my brothers?" he asks, "only those who wear my own complexion swart?" and answers: "Ah no, but all through whom there flows The blood-stream of a manly heart." And so we have a tribute to Lord Mayor MacSwiney who died for Ireland, to Clemanceau, to Katerina Breshkovskaya and others. Perhaps most lovely of its human touch is the sonnet, Mr. Hill inclines to the sonnet WEEK'S BEST EDITORIAL London Demanda Justice for the Negro (New York Call) If, in his entire term, Meyer London, the sole Socialist congressman, had done nothing but tell the truth about this country's treatment of the negro, which he did in a masterly speech on the floor of the House Wednesday afternoon, the district that sent him to Congress would have reason to be proud that he carried its message in a manner befitting its vital importance to the cause of real freedom. The entire delegation from the State of New York has not performed as great a public service as this one congressman did when he told the country the truth about the negro question. We are glad that the North took occasion to rebuke the North for its hypocritical attitude toward our brothers who happen to have a different colored skin from our. "We are paying for the sins not only of the slaveowner of the South but of the slave importer of the North," said London. When London discussed the arguments of those who had brought out the outworn fetich of state rights to justify the refusal to pass anti-lynching laws he exposed their arant hypocrisy with this sweeping sentence: "You did not hesitate to pass a conscription act, which enabled the Federal government to reach its hands into the homes of the people in the several states for the purpose of sending them to destruction in a foreign land, but when it proposed to abolish lynching you invoke this doctrine of state rights." That portion of London's speech addressed directly to the white workers of this country is the pre-eminently important utterance which the Socialist congressman made. We wish it form, on the Borglum statue of Lincoln. There are poems, however, in the volume written without reference to race or national conflict, love songs, poems of the spirit. There are bits of description, as this of a Brazilian forest: "Of little swarming insect parasites. Of fiery creatures bent upon their prey, Of birds with all the colors God has made. That nature could herself dream nothing more." And this from an Alpine scene: And this from an Alpine scene: "Upon your ear shall sound the clear flute note. Of dripping water, or the happier tone Of slender streams that leap from boulder walls Singing of freedom from the tyrant ice." The first four lines of "Boys Swimming," "lithe lads swimming in a running stream," recalls Sorello's wonderful picture at the Metropolitan Museum in New York. But the last four lines leave the realm of the artist and show the preacher who must point a moral to the picture that he paints. This touch of the preacher in so much that Mr. Hill writes will endear him to some and to others make his poetry over didactic. His fault, if fault it is, is an old fashioned one and until recently has been found in nearly all our American poetry. Poe, whom America failed to appreciate, was free from it, but the most of the poets of the last century—Bryant, Emerson, Lowell, Longfellow, Whittier—were preachers, turning the moral, sometimes tritely, sometimes with magnificent beauty and conviction. But moralise they must. So in "The Wings of Oppression," as the name indicates, we hear in pleasant cadences that through the chastening of sorrows, through oppression, we shall mount upon wings to better and higher things. Strongly religious in its tone, it ends with a poem of confidence and yet of true humility which I cannot refrain from quoting entire: The Teacher Lord, who am I to teach the way To little children day by day, So prone myself to go astray? How faint they flicker and how low I teach them knowledge, but I know The candles of my knowledge glow I teach them power to will and do. But only now to learn anew My own great weakness through I teach them love for all mankind And all God's creatures, but to find My love comes lagging far behind. Lord, if their guide I still must be. Oh let the little children see The teacher leaning hard on Thee. were in our power to place it in the hands of every white worker in this country. We place it here with the hope that every one of our readers will show it to as many of his fellow workers as he can reach: THE LAWS AND INSTITUTIONS THAT ARE AIMED AT THE NEGRO HIT THE WHITE WORKER, SOONER OR LATER WITH JUST AS MUCH FORCE AS THE NEGRO. THE INTERESTS OF THE WHITE WORKERS AND THE COLORED WORKERS ARE IDENTICAL, AND WHEN THEY PERMIT THEMSELVES TO BE SWAYED BY THE PASSIONS WHICH IT IS TO THE INTERESTS OF THE RULING CLASS TO CONSTANTLY FAN, THE WHITE WORKERS ENTER THE SAME TRAP THAT HAS BEEN LAID FOR THEIR NEGRO BROTHERS. The negro question will not be settled by any sort of compromising. Our brother with the dark skin is entitled by the right of life itself to every right that we with the white skin enjoy. It is true we have not many rights, but what few we have gained he is entitled to, and he is further entitled to fight side by side with us to achieve real freedom. As for ourselves we will not only do our part to help our colored brother get what he would always have had if we were really a civilized people, but we gladly welcome him as a soldier of the common good if he wishes to fight by our side in the battle for the rights of all. And we welcome him as an equal, judging his desirability only by the same standards which we apply to those of our own and other races.
