COURT GIVES WOMAN TITLE TO 29 MILLIONS RACE RIOT AT U.S. HOSPITAL PRICE 5 CENTS RAC WOMAN WINS 'IN SUIT FOR MILLIONS Court Hands Down Final Decision In Famous Oil Case ILLEGITIMACY NO BAR Land Thought To Be Valueless Worth 29 Millions HOMER, La., Feb. 11.—After one of the bitterest fought legal battles in the history of Louisiana, Miss Lillian Turner has been finally declared sole heiress to twenty-nine million dollars in accrued assets, numerous oil wells, and a big oil refinery in Claiborne Parish, La., by the Louisiana Supreme Court, according to advices sent the St. Louis Argus. Illegitimacy No Bar Through a decision of the state Supreme Court last fall Miss Turner was awarded a rehearing in the case after an injunction which prevented her from obtaining title to her inheritance at the time. Formerly, April 11, the third district court of Clarborne Parish awarded the lands and property to the Colored heiress, the State of Louisiana contesting the decision and obtaining a rehearing of the whole case on the grounds of a contention that Miss Turner was an illegitimate child of her mother Mrs. McGhee. Another contestant, Mrs. Angelina Allen, mother of Mrs. McGhee, and grandmother of Miss Turner began a contest of the claims of her grand-daughter when oil was discovered on the otherwise worthless property, but was defeated in both the lower and higher courts. The final big battle in the case came up in the courts at this place on January 17. There were many witnesses on both sides, and every effort was made by several white persons with the assistance of colorful Negroes to wrest the colored woman's enormous hold from her. The ex-Colored clam which was made by the rightful heiress, though, was of a nature to bring to her aid some of the best legal talent of this section of the country, with the rare result that Miss Turner received an absolutely fair decision and came into full and absolute possession of what is possibly one of the largest fortunes in the United States owned by a woman. Land Thought Worthless The land upon which oil was found and which is finally the sole property of Lillian Turner was originally a part of the worn out Louisiana bottom land, practically worthless for farming purpose and useful only as a place of residence for a few poor people. At no time until finally its value went up by leaps and bounds with the coming in of the first big gusher, was the land worth at the outside of more than $5,000. No interest was taken in it nor its owners. The poverty stricken Angelina Allen, Lorna McGhee and Lillie Turner, grandmother, mother and daughter were of no consequence, apparently, to themselves their neighbors nor the community. No thought was ever taken of any of the parties to the case. Like many other farms in this district the Turner farm was in the oil belt. Experiments upon it were the same as thousands of other experiments which have been conducted and nothing obtained from them excepting hard work and blasted hope. Once it was established though, that the oil upon the place was real oil and that the money to be made from it was real money, some of the best legal talent of this section became the ardent solicitors for the favors of the despised three colored women. No case in the history of Louisiana has ever attracted more wide-spread interest and at this time no woman in the state is more cordially received nor more warmly thought of than Lillian Turner, with her $29,000,000 golden halo. --- "A PAPER WITH A POLICY" The Chicago Whip AN INDEPENDENT WEEKLY "Lil Artha" Is In A New Role, Specluator Now NEWARK, N.

Five members of Howard's Whispering Orchestra of Gold, arrived here from Miami, Fla., where they were beaten by alleged Ku Klux Klansmen and driven out of town. Those in the party were Chauncey E.

These men had been at the Halcynne Hotel, Miami, Fla., for three weeks and had played to capacity audiences in the theater dance hall. The orchestra is directed by Thomas Howard, 140 N. Garneld Avenue, who controls several groups of music, bearing his name. The only offenses of the musicians as charged by the alleged Ku Klux, was that they were playing for white people to dance and on several occasions members of the orchestra were called upon to demonstrate the late dances on the floor for the band, the guests, the women of the town, the women expressed indignation at the employment of colored musicians at the Halcynne and threatened to attack them on several occasions. A number of guests got wind of these rumors and promised the orchestra full protection as long as they remained at the hotel. Alleged Klansmen got the orchestra out of town by telling them they were wanted to fill an engagement at "Mr. Sam's" country place. An automobile called for them at midnight and they were taken outside of town where they were suddenly confronted by a mob of some seventy-five men, kicked, and heaten and ordered to leave on the first train.

YORK CITY, Feb. 11—Luther Boddy, slayer of Detectives Miller and Bulkley, was transferred Friday from the Tombs to the death house at Sing Sing where he is sentenced to die in the electric chair the week of March 17. He did not submit to his tate without a final attempt to escape. Woman Smuggles Saws Thursday afternoon a woman who said she was Boddy's sister smuggled into his cell two steel hacksaws, concealed in the soles of a pair of patent leather shoes. Boddy hid them in the wall of his cell hoping to use them yesterday on his trip up the river. He intended, if possible, to saw off the handcuffs that bound him to his guard and leap off the train somewhere between Grand Central Terminal and Ossining. His plans were upset, however, by the prisoner who occupied the cell next to him in the Tumbs, to whom Boddy gave the shoes. This man noticed the soles had been tampered with and notified Waron Hanley. A search of Boddy's cell disclosed the saws. As soon as the trick was discovered Warden Hanley ordered extra precautions taken. Two guards sat up all night watching the prisoner and yesterday morning the warden himself supervised Boddy's dressing. He was led before Justice Wasservogel under close guard. Makes Motion For Appeal Before the sentence was pronounced Boddy's counsel, Morris Koenig, made the necessary statutory motions to assure an appeal. Boddy appeared undisturbed as Justice Wasservogel, in a monotone, recited the first sentence of death he has been called upon to impose since he has assumed office. Sheriff Nagel immediately clapped the handcuffs on the prisoner and led him to the Sheriff's room, where Boddy's mother joined him. As soon as the papers were ready he was taken in an automobile to the Grand Central Station, accompanied by seven other prisoners and four deputy sheriffs. Boddy arrived at Ossining station at noon and was placed in a taxicab with two deputies. In five minutes he was at the prison. He made no effort to free himself throughout the journey, and when the prison gate closed after him he said: "So long as I have to be up here I feel easier." He gave his pedigree in the Warden's office and was then taken to the wash room and given a bath after which he put on his prison clothes. "When do I eat?" he demanded. "When do I eat?" he demanded, when this was over. In Death Cell Boddy was assigned to a cell in the old death house as all the new cells are occupied. His dinner consisted of beef stew, bread and coffee. He is the twenty-sixth prisoner in the death house. Activities Miller and Bulkeley of the West 135th Street station were shot and killed by Boddy on the night of January 5 while they were taking him to the station house. Martin B.

CHICAGO, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1922 Now That the Political Pot Is Boiling-- THI RACE COMES ALONG NICELY SIR! Why Canada Didn't Deport Matt Bullock (N. A. A. C. P. Press Service) The following editorial from the Durham, N. C. Sum, Jan. 24, is an indication of the frame of mind of those who demanded that Matthew Bullock be brought back to North Carolina for a "fair trial." "Governor Morrison of North Carolina assures Canada that Bullock will be in no danger if he returns to this State. Depend upon it, however, if Bullock does come back it wont be because of Governor Morrison's assurance. A North Carolina nigger who has killed his white man knows more about a white man's uncertainty when fooling with a hair trigger than any Chief Executive that ever reigned in Raleigh." Prof. Hale Is Arrested By U.S. Agents NASHVILLE, TENN., Feb. 11—Prof. W. J. Hale, president of the Tennessee State Normal, Agricultural and Industrial School, has been arrested and held under $2,500 bond for preliminary hearings before the United States commissioner on charges of unlawfully taking funds from ex-service men taking vocational training at the school. J. N. Robinson, co-ordinator and training official at the school is also being held jointly with Prof. Hale. The arrests were made on warrants issued by Asst. U. S. District Attorney W. H. Ewing, white. Some of the 270 ex-service men in the school allege that Hale loaned them money on short time and charged them 240 per cent interest, taking the amount from government checks, which Robinson conspired with Hale to turn over to him. It is also alleged that Hale required men taking agricultural training to pay him $10 for rent for land owned by the state, and also charged for the use of horses to cultivate it. The contract with the state is alleged to have provided that the state furnish books and equipment to the vocational students. Prof. Hale is well known throughout the South as a leader in educational circles, and his wife is prominent in social life. MISSISSIPPI BILL WOULD SEND BACK TO AFRICA JACKSON, Miss., Feb. 11. State Senator McCallum has introduced a resolution in the State Legislature to memorialize President Harding and Congress to buy land in, Africa and send all Americans of African blood there. The resolution provides that the land is to be obtained by purchase, treaty, or otherwise. This territory is to be under the tutelage of the American government to the end that "America may become a nation of one blood." SOLDIERS TO WAGE WAR ON RACE HATRED WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 11—"Lest they forget" was the slogan of a determined group of over 100 ex-service men, who gathered here at the Nation's capital this week to form a national organization of Negro veterans of the World War. Enlisted men and ex-offers mingled freely in a real spirit of comradeship which be-a real spirit of comradeship which be-adof the first motions to be adopted was the abolition of rank; thereby eliminating all of the friction and petty jealousy that might come as the result of past military distinctions. To Fight Discrimination "The organization, which is to be known as the Negro American Veterans of the World War, is the inevitable outgrowth of the discrimination that has been practised everywhere against the Negro veteran," said Dr T. E. Jones, former captain in the Medical Corps and a wearer of the distinguished Service Cross, "especially has this discrimination in the treatment of suffering and disabled men. Our organization means to root out these cases and stir up the country to the suffering and dire need of these men. Denied admission into the hospitals of the South, thousands of these veterans, suffering from tuberculosis and mental disorders, are languishing away in insanity jails and alms houses to which they are being sent for treatment because the hospitals will not take Negroes. Hundreds of men with active tuberculosis are being inadequately cared for in their homes, taking chances with the lives of their own people, rather than be sent to the miserable holes that are being improved for them. Even worse than this is the condition of still other thousands of needy veterans who are entitled to compensation but who are intimidated from making claim for government relief. When the soldiers find that their organization, will actually bring them into contact with the government, and is furthermore ready (Continued on page 3) State's Attorney Robert E. Crow has appointed Alva L. Bates an assistant State's attorney for the County of Cook. Attorney Bates is one of our most promising young lawyers and will become a valuable asset to the staff of legal minds on duty at the Criminal Court building.

Chicago's Most Popular and Widely Read Weekly PRICE FIVE CENTS EIGHT PAGES OSPI It Is Boiling-- Any Day PITAL INVESTIGATION IS ON Garvey In Again, He Hets Off With A Reprimand NEW YORK CITY, Feb. 11.—Marcus Garvey is in trouble again. This time he has run afoul of the New York State laws in connection with the management of the "Negro World." He appeared in the Heights Court to answer a charge of violating a state law forbidding the publishing in a newspaper any advertisements for the cure of social diseases. He was released after a reprimand from the court. Obscure W. Va. Man Gets Job Linc Tried For WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.—Arthur G. Froe, a lawyer, of Welch, W. Va., has been nominated by President Harding for Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia. Froe's nomination is the anti-climatic finale to the bitter fight waged by Henry Lincoln Johnson for appointment to the same position. Froe is very little known in national political circles, and was a dark horse in the race for the G. O. P. plum. He attended Shaw and Howard Universities. Senator Elkins of West Virginia succeeded in obtaining the nomination for Attorney Froe, contending that West Virginia's position as a doubtful state, demanded this piece of patronage. It is thought very likely that he will be confirmed. Seeks Governor's Reward For Lynchers OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., Feb. 11. It is authoritatively reported here that the wife of Jake Brooks will seek the reward of $2,000 offered by Governor Robinson for the apprehension and conviction of members of the mob that lynched her husband. Mrs. Brooks first laid the blame at the door of Butler and Allen, who have since confessed and been sentenced to life imprisonment. The confession of Butler and Allen led to the rounding up of the entire lynching party of nine men. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Feb. 11.—An employee of a local dairy company was almost frozen to death here when he fled into the ice box to escape the bullets of Ed Crow, white, who under the influence of liquor, was shooting up the place. Crow was placed under arrest --- --- --- TAKES REFUGE IN ICE BOX WOUNDED HEROES FLEE IN TERROR Sick Soldiers Jump Through Windows For Safety Not First Complaint Of Treatment At Maywood Hospital Ten wounded ex-soldiers fled in terror from the Edward Hines, Jr., Memorial Hospital, in Maywood, Ill. Thursday night, when they feared a general race riot among white and black wounded ex-soldiers taking treatment there. The wounded ex-service men were committed to the Speedway Hospital, as it is called, by the United States Public Health Service. A special inspector was ordered to Chicago as soon as the trouble, was reported to Dr. Hugh Cummings, surgeon-general, in Washington. The inspector's report has not been completed, and no official version of the affair can be obtained. Stories Conflict Stories concerning the affair are conflicting. John H. Hayes, white, assistant executive officer at the hospital, characterized the disturbance as "nothing but a loud-mouthed quarrel," which did not result in blows. A. F. Bagley, 6346 St. Lawrence Avenue, gives another version. He says he was sitting in Room 116 of Ward B1 on the main floor when the door was hurled open by five white soldiers, who stood in the door with a mob behind them, cursing, brandishing razors, and concealing automatic pistols under their sweaters. Bagley says he warned them away because the noise made one of the sick patients nervous. The mob then rushed for the door, hurling cups and plates. The men then barricaded the door with a bed, dressed hurriedly, and fled from the hospital through the window. White Soldier Admits Part A wounded white soldier, George Germain, admitted that he took part in the disorder, boasting that he had "killed bigger niggers than they were," when one of the men cursed at him. He said he had never felt kindly toward the patients in that ward since a white nurse had been insulted there. He also charged that one of the soldiers menaced him with a gun. 100 Patients at Hospital There are about 900 ex-soldiers at the hospital. One hundred of them are colored. Repeated complaints have been made that they are the victims of discrimination and Jim Crow treatment. All such charges have been strenuously denied by the hospital authorities. A special board of inquiry has been appointed to investigate all charges. Among the soldiers who fled from the hospital were: Thomas Johnson, 2nd Lieut., 350th M. G. Bn., 92nd Div.; William Moore, pvt. G. 349th F. A.; A. F. Bagley, Edgar Williams, Charles Jones, Henry Roberts, John Morrow. Bank Loaned $100,000 More Than It Had PORTSMOUTH, Va., Feb. 11. Investigation into the affairs of the Mutual Savings Bank, which went down in a crash here several weeks ago, reveal that the bank officials loaned $100,000 in excess of its deposits. The report of the receivers states that the bank had on deposit $205,000, and loaned out in excess of $296,000. In its present condition there is thought to be no hope of recovery for the institution. The Dixie Flyer PRICE BULLETIN 2 UNDERWORLD QUEEN WHO KILLED PAL WAS "CRAZY" UNDERWORLD QUEEN WHO KILLED PAL WAS "CRAZY" DALLAS, Texas, Feb. 11—Jane La Moore, white woman suspected at one time of being an associated bootleger with Rasberry Cooksey, colored, whom she shot and killed here in the Federal building on the night of December 13 last, was adjudged insane in the lunacy court here after two hours deliberation on her case by a jury. Regarding the shooting of Cooksey in the restroom of the Federal building, she said: "I was sick and he offered me whiskey. I imagine he offered it as a stimulant but when he came back again I shot him." The trial opened before Judge Arch C. Allen, with the establishment of the woman's identity by means of a deposition from her father which gave her name as Mrs. Ella Van Vleck, wife of Dwight Van Vleck of Illinois. In response to questions regarding her father's statement the woman said: "I am not Jeane La Moore. Jeane La Moore was a war nurse in France who was killed later in an Omaha railroad wreck. I assumed her identity and have passed myself off as the former war nurse. I have never been in France." From all available evidence it appears that there was no recourse for the jury in the case to do other than either affix the suspected intimate relationship between the white woman and her colored man, victim, or to ascribe her crime to insanity as a cause.

Demands Credit In Future Histories NEW YORK CITY, Feb. 11—In an investigation held by the Commissioner of Accounts of New York on the rewriting of history books, William Pickens, associate field secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. demanded that future histories show the part played by Black Men in the great war. Referring to histories he studied while a student in school, he said: "I went through public school," he said, "and graduated from Yale and was a grown man before I ever learned that it was a black man who shot Major Pitcairn at Bunker Hill, or that one man out of every ten at the Battle of Lake Erie was black, or that in the War of 1812 there were many black men behind the American parapet of cotton bales, or that George Washington had hundreds of colored Soldiers, or that Abraham Lincoln said that without the 200,000 black troops on the Northern side they never would have won. "For the sake of good feeling between black and white that is essential, I want our histories to show the part that colored soldiers played in the great war." Warning Ineffective, Hubby Shoots Lovers KANSAS CITY, Feb. 11—After several warnings had been ineffective, John Ellis, a well-known automobile mechanic here, intercepted his wife, Mrs. Olina Ellis, with her sweetheart, Sylvester Smith, and seriously wounded both. Ellis is said to have followed Smith and his wife from a dance where they had been together. He first fired five bullets at her. When Smith attempted to protect her, Ellis knocked him down with the butt of his pistol, and seizing another, emptied it into the prone man's body. He fled from the scene, but later surrendered.

THE CHICAGO WHIP CALLS PASSAGE OF DYER BILL GREAT ACHIEVEMENT The New York Nation, one of the oldest liberal publications of the United States, in its issue of February 8, calls the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill "the most important legal step ever taken toward ending our peculiarly national disgrace." The entire editorial paragraph in the Nation reads as follows: The passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill in the House of Representatives by the large majority of 230 to 119 is an achievement. Every American should derive distinct satisfaction from this, the most important legal step ever taken toward ending our peculiarly national disgrace. For this accomplishment the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which for years has labored to arouse the American conscience about lynchings and to crystallize public sentiment into effective legislation, deserves full credit. But the fight is not yet won; the bill still has to pass the Senate. Those who feel the sting when Europeans ask Do you really mean that crowds gather to see men burned alive in America? should give the National Association unstinted support until the bill not only passes the Senate and becomes law, but is enforced. Those who wish to act in accordance with the suggestion of the Nation, which for more than fifty years has championed the cause of colored Americans, may send donations for the Anti-Lynching Fund of the N. A. A. C. P., to J. E. Spingarn, Treasurer, 70th Fifth Avenue, New York. Donations of one dollar up will be welcomed. Mob 'Overpowers Sherriff PONTOTOC. Miss., Feb. 11—William Arthur Bell was lynched here last week while authorities pretended they were trying to spirit him out of town. Bell had been placed in the sheriff's auto, curtains were drawn and the auto was speeding through a back street, however when it reached a narrow part of the street another automobile, also curtained, ran in front of it and stopped, blocking the way. One of the occupants shot into the sheriff's car and Bell jumped to the running board; then the others opened fire upon him and killed him. The sheriff and his deputies were armed and presumably awake but no account is given of any shots fired by the sheriff or his party neither was the car number noticed and the persons guilty of the lynching escaped without a scratch. Slave Stories Untrue, Maintains Briggs NEW YORK, Feb. 11.—Cyril V. Briggs, paramount chief of the African Blood Brotherhood, issued a warning to the Negro People of America against being deceived by the "slave trade" propaganda now being directed against Abyssinia from British and French propagandist sources. According to Mr. Briggs, the slave trade thrives no greater in Abyssinia than in those parts of Africa under European rule, and the present tearful concern of Great Britain over the "terrible conditions" obtaining in Abyssinia is nothing more than the usual propaganda which precedes a "big steal". The European plunderers are planning another attempt against Abyssinian independence. Anybody familiar with conditions in the African "colonies" of Britain and France and possessed of a knowledge of the methods of imperialists will immediately recognize that behind the stories emanating from London of "terrible conditions of slavery" in Abyssinia is the desire to complete the partition of Africa and the subjugation of the last African people to maintain their independence in full. NORTH CAROLINIANS RECEIVE BROOKLYN, N.

Nell MUSIC PALACE A League Spends $335,000 In Past Year NEW YORK CITY, Feb. 11.—The National Urban League held its annual meeting on Wednesday last in New York at the Russell Sage Foundation building, at which time members of the board for the term expiring 1925 and officers and standing committees for the ensuing year were elected.

Nationally Organized The organization considers itself particularly fortunate in having as a National Vice-Chairman Capt. Campbell C. Johnson, who is an official of the Veteran's Bureau, Washington, D. C. Capt. Johnson's knowledge of the conditions among Colored veterans, together with his ability to be of help to them, particularly qualifies him for an important role in the newly-formed organization. Dr. T. E. Jones was elected National Chairman; Louis R. Mehlinger, a prominent attorney, was elected Secretary; Victor R. Daly, Business Manager of the Journal of Negro History, was chosen as the National Organizer; Eliiah Reynolds was made Treasurer and William A. Ryles, Director of Publicity. Victor R. Daily, the National Organizer, located at 1216 You St., N.W. Washington, D.C., stated to representatives of the press that no efforts would be spared to reach every available veteran and to muster him into the ranks of the organization. "We want to make the Negro American Veterans of the World War a model organization of efficiency and strength. We have a common bond between us, and outside influences are cementing that bond in a way that may prove a very annoying matter to those who are responsible for it. The founders of this movement have a single purpose in mind, to insure to the veterans and their families those rights and privileges that are justly theirs as a result of the part that they have played in the war." NEW, MANAGER FOR J. H. GREEN UNDERTAKING COMPANY NEW, MANAGER FOR J. H. GREEN UNDERTAKING COMPANY The J. H. Green Undertaking Co. has secured the services of G. W. O'Bee to manage their undertaking business. Mr. O'Bee comes to them highly recommended from Omaha, Neb., where he was formerly engaged in the undertaking business for many years. He comes with a wonderful reputation as an embalmer and funeral director. He was deputy coroner there for 10 years during which time he handled all the colored cases. So our former friends who have had business with us or our future friends, need have no fear that they will not receive the same benevolent, curteous and capable treatment in the future that they have in the past. Mr. O'Bee as a Mason, K. of P. Elk, Sons and Daughters of Honor, also a Shriner. He is Past Deputy Grand Master, Past Master of the K. of P's, and also a member of the John R.

He is a graduate of the same embalming school as was the late Mr. Rawley Green, the founder of this company, and their friendship grew as time passed. Mr. O'Bee was a member of the Quinn Chapel Sunday School when Dr. Jannifer was pastor and the church was located on 4th Ave. He had just come to these parts then from Nashville, Tenn, his birthplace. He cordially solitis the good-wool and patronage of all the former friends of the company and his old friends here and those from else-where. J. H. GREEN UNDERTAKING CO. 3832 S. State Street Tel.

Duncan who, drew tears from the eyes of the faithful lovers of the race's ideal soldier by his eloquence. The address by Col. Duncan in ecology of Col.

A. Mundy, general director of the Chicago South Side Opera Company, is now attracting attention from, not only the big dailies, locally, but incouraging letters were exhibited by the management from prominent magazines and a syndi- Birthday under the direction of J. A. Mundy, general director of the Chicago South Side Opera Company, is now attracting attention from, not only the big dailies, locally, but encouraging letters were exhibited by the management from prominent magazines and a syndicate in Toronto, Canada. Especially was the letter from the "Crisis" magazine and from Toronto, encouraging. The little quip in the magazine section of Monday's Chicago Examiner, certainly proves that someone in big circles is taking new notes. It was thought advisable to simplify, yet to keep perfectly clear the story of the Opera Martha, that those who are not entirely familiar with it, may read it and better enjoy the performance: The Story of "Martha" Made Clear Act I, Lady Harriet Durham grew tired of the splendors of court. Nancy was her confidante. Her beau was the distinguished Lord Tristan. There was a fair at Richmond, where the peasants gathered to get hired—they became like boud servants, when so hired. Lady Harriet Durham did not know this last fact. So for a change from the court life she decided to go to the fair and to wear the attire of a peasant. She carried Nancy with her. Lord Tristan was persuaded to join in the fun. At the fair looking over the many peasant girls, were Plunkett, a rough, kindly yellow and his foster brother Lionel, who was a noble nailed but melancholy man. These country squires take the hansel extended them without knowing that they were bound to service for a year by doing so. The sheriff arrived and confirmed the bargain. Lord Triston with his protestations could not break the bargain. Lady Durham was known to the employers as P "Martha?" and her companion as "Julia." Act II. The ladies are here seen at work. The tenants find that they are unused to household work. So Plunkett in his rough but kindly way teaches them to spin. He falls in love with Nancy. But Lionel in his regal manner makes love to Lady Harriet. She likes Lionel, but abhors the idea of a country squire bean. She scoffs at him. The persistent Plunkett seeks Nancy to declare his love, but she hides. Then the girls are sent to bed. They are both alarmed at the way things have turned out. Lord Triston comes to their rescue with a coach, and they take flight, vainly pursued by their tenants. Plunkett swears to catch and to punish them, but Lionel sinks into deep melancholy from which nothing can arouse him. (Act II and IV next week. Is it clear?) Read again. Then we stop to consider "The Oakland Canary"; that is the appropriate subroutine, which has become attached to Miss Nelle Dobson, the youthful lady from Oakland, Cal., who is to sing the title role "Martha." She has been the soloist for the great Bethel choir under J. A. Mundy for some time, and because of her extreme generosity in contributing her exceptional talent to the Sunday Lycee and charitable programs, she is the favorite singer in the midst of the many organizations which have announced their intention of witnessing "Martha" on February 22. To hear her one time, is to become her admirer. Then, the name of Helen Boone ranks high among Chicago contralto. She is a vocal student with J. A. Mundy and member of the Fulton Street Chor. During the performance, at some time, she will appear as "Nancy" Tickets are on sale at the Colonial Barber Shop. 3447 South State Street; the Wabash Avenue "Y." 3763 Wabash Avenue, and at the Auditorium box office.

A. at Robbins, III., is doing a great business in spite of all the knocking that some of our so-called leading citizens are doing. It is a long lane that has no turn. Mr. Edward Brown, the president of the Robbins branch of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, is a Christian gentleman, and his heart and soul is in his work. Therefore be of good cheer, for God has promised good to Israel. Albert Morehead has signed a year contract with the All American Base Ball Team, Milwaukee, Wis$ on a monthly salary. He is one of our young men who has showed form. It has been nine months since the present administration has been in power, and still the accounts of the village have not been audited. Mr. F. J. Kellar, ex-president, Mr. Nathaniel Evans, ex-treasurer, and C. C. Banks clerk. There was a false report circulated that the president of the village was under arrest.

He will speak on the Dyer Bill. Farewell Musical at Institutional Mr. Samuel McAlpine announces that next Sunday will be his farewell monthly musical at Institutional Church. The program as usual will be fine. Mr. McAlpine has always been active in this work but is now preparing to work with another organization. The program list and other data was misplaced but a fuller account will be given next week. Come out Sunday. Mr. McAlpine will, however, continue with the D. K. C. Company. He is a "high up" tenor and dramatic leader of class. Few of the younger conductors have but little on McAlpine point. When he demonstrated that it took a God in the flesh and a Man in the spirit to do the work which Jesus did, the eyes of the spiritual congregation became dilated. From these eyes tears of religious joy flowed silently. Only a few made loud manifestations. This sermon was a deeply spiritual one and the educational view point was paralleled by the religious potency of the theme in exposition. The musical offerings were fit for the strong spiritual wave which pulled even a minister (Dr. Samuel) into the big congregation. The attendance is now running over again, with the smile of Sunshine which is shed there. The officers of this big church are BETHEL NOTES The quarterly communion on last Sunday was very largely attended. Rev. L. H. Owens, P. E., in charge. Revival services will start Sunday, February 12.

D., Pastor Last Sunday being the first, Lord's Day in the month, the crowds started pouring into Olivet with the six o'clock prayer meeting and did not check until about ten-thirty when all places of worship were filled to their utmost. All the home pastors were at their posts of duty and delivered helpful messages to the waiting masses. Olivet is a living organism and vital factor for social righteousness in the community. Her doors are always open to the poor, the suffering and distressed. At the close of the morning services the Lord's Supper was observed, and all present had a spiritual feast. In the evening the pastor, Rev. Dr. L. K. Williams, was invited guest of the First Baptist Church (white) of Racine, Wis., where he lectured to a large and appreciative audience. There will be good gospel preaching at Olivet all day next Sunday. The public is cordially invited to all services. Carter's Temple Carter's Temple C, M. E, Church 43rd and Champlain. Rev. Jas, A.

A. in the afternoon, he will leave Monday, February 6, for Montgomery, Ala., and will return Saturday, February 11. The Hard-Time party given under the auspices of the Goodfellows' Chui was a great success. Mrs. and Mrs Title entertained the social circle Tuesdays day evening at their home, all departments still maintain their usual interest. And then Dr. W. D. Cook took a new sermon, "What Manner of Man Is This the Winds and the Waves Obey Him?" And after that opening, the 2,000 people sat perfectly calm, as Dr. Cook exposed the life of the Christ Man from the human view- point. When he demonstrated that it took a God in the flesh and a Man in the spirit to do the work which Jesus did, the eyes of the spiritual congregation became dilated. From these eyes tears of religious joy flowed silently. Only a few made loud manifestations. This sermon was a deeply spiritual one and the educational viewpoint was paralleled by the religious potency of the theme in exposition. The musical offerings were fit for the strong spiritual wave which pulled even a minister (Dr. Samuels) into the big congregation. The attendance is now running over again, with the smile of Sunshine which is shed there. The officers of this big church are noted for their intelligence, business acumen and religious activities. This is what has made Metropolitan Community Center. Mr. Walter A. Ellis was installed as reading clerk for the center. Many announcements were made of activities every night at 3118 Giles. People's Interdenominational Church 38th Street and Wabash Services held at Y, M, C. A. rooms every Sunday. Public is cordially invited. Sunday, 12th sermon at 11:00 a.m by Pastor Roach; 8:00 p.m. m. Evangelists Morris, Dawson and DeCroghn will conduct evangelistic services. Rev. Thomas E. Roach, pastor. Miss Anna B. Greve, leading soloist. Hope Presbyterian Church Rev. W. Edward Williams, Pastor. Sunday, February 5, was the great day at Hope. The services were well attended and the strong spiritual influence which was spread from the pulpit to the audience was felt long after the services were completed. The Rev. Dr. Williams is not only a speaker but a thoroughly religious minister. The congregation love their pastor and well attend the services. The perfect harmony in the church body speaks well for the discipline of the officers. St. Mark M. E. Church 50th St. and Wabash Ave The pastor's sermon on "The Tenth Commandment" was well received by a large and appreciative congregation on Sunday morning. The sermon by Rev. Dr. J. O. Williams of Texas at the evening services was of unusual interest. St. Mark will be glad to hear him again. Our Sunday school and Epworth League were well attended. Next Sunday morning the address will be delivered by the Hon. Patrick O'Donnell on "The Second Emancipation" while our pastor has for its speaker at 5 p. m. Rev.

Duncan was in Springfield the first of the week on very important affairs of the regiment. Sgt. Charles E. Walker has been assigned instructor of buglers for the regiment and wishes to interest men who are qualified as such or who may desire to become buglers. Sgt. Walker has been connected with the regiment for 16 years in that capacity and has proven himself very efficient and competent. He was overseas. He may be interviewed on Wednesday of each week at the Armory. During the war every one was eager to do something for the soldier boys and patriotism was fostered by real and artificial means, but alas, three short years have passed and now the country and the public at large have forgotten the boys who so bravely sacrificed to make the world safe for democracy. In view of this fact, the Ladies of the American Red Cross Sanitary Drill Unit under the leadership of Mrs. Florence M. Jones, lieutenant-commander, have taken it upon themselves to show the boys in a material way that they have not forgotten. Thursday evening, from six to eight-thirty, they gave a very delightful musical for the boys of the 8th. Chocolate and cake was served in abundance and a delightful program was rendered. Mrs. Jones intends to make this a weekly affair for the boys. Mrs. Sylvia Mills, chairman of the hospital committee is active in rendering solace and entertainment to the disabled boys in the various government hospitals, we say, "more power to such women."

Chicago Avenue Phone Seely 0552 01 NOSEY WAS strolling down Rhodes Avenue last Sunday afternoon and his restless active eyes were seeking out every nook and cranny, trying to see something that would interest him. His weather eagle eye lightened upon a lady in an apartment window. She had drawn her chair close to the window and with a book on her knee was writing a letter between glances into the street—no passerby missing her shark eyes. Nosey recognized her bronze hair and knew that she was the Grand Exalted Ruler of Gossipdom and also noted that it was no mystery that she could keep tab on things because she could not even write a letter in seclusion for fear that something would pass that she would not see. Nosey now knows the tale about her sleeping with the receiver down and to her ear in order not to miss anything that natties on her line might say. Nosey admires her system but there are many people, who would like hear that she had been paralyzed. --- ON SATURDAY night, Nissey's dropped in the southside most popular cafe and decided to eat for the first time that week. He noticed a sweet matron enjoying the smiles and the expensive meal furnished by one of the "younger" bachelors of the city. They were fully enjoying life, themselves and the meal. Suddenly the man grew pale, tried to turn his head, a dainty morsel of food almost choking him as he tried to speak. His eyes were fastened on the door through which entered the demure matron's hubby. But soon his face broke into smiles as the Beau Brummell discovered that the hubby was leading in one of his "own sweet girls" despite the fact that he was supposed to be in another city. Nothing must do but that hubby and the girl sit at his table. The wife could not object, the sweet little girl could not balk and hubby naturally fell in with the plan. But the funny part of it all was that there was very little conversation and when they left the cafe, the hubby was with wife, the young man was with the little girl. It follows that the best laid plans of mice and men oft go wrong. --- SOME PEOPLE bear up well under a heavy load of troubles. Nosey met a young man the other day who had just lost his last dollar in a little "private game." The game made him late for work and he was tired. When he got home, the landlord had put his things out in the street and his wife had departed for parts unknown. Yet with all this disaster, he was still smiling and took his trusty bed from in front of the apartment building and put it up in the rear and went to sleep. It would have been all right if he had not been arrested for taking a neighbor's bottle of milk the next morning. Yet he traveled in that closed car to the station, he said to the policeman. Well, my troubles are over for at least thirty days now," and smiled blissfully. It was a lesson to Nosey. He knows now how to meet disaster and triumph and how to treat those misfortunes just the same. . . . EVERY DOG has his day is really a true saying. It was shown beyond a shadow of a doubt at a little party the other night. A beautiful (to some people) little curly-haired lapdog was the present that the man brought to the lady of the house. As the party progressed other ladies came in. The dog was shown off as this gift of the evening. The little thing seemed contented in her lap. Soon another lady entered and the dog rushed to her with yelps of glee and certainly recognition. The lady KNEW that this was her little Trixie that she lost the night before but its collar was not there to complete the identification. The man then spilled his little yarn about the cost of that dog but the little dog still clung to the lady who came in late. Finally the lady of the house said, "I think you have given the dog to the wrong person." The man is still trying to explain, but as he had given the dog away he could not tell the lady of the house what to do with her own property. The little dog now has its day. ```markdown ``` YOU HAVE to hand it to the lady who works down in the loop and manages to lead a life as double as two railroad tracks. Nosey wondered where she was going every night while her quiet hubby wended his way to that dark grey building to wrestle with sacks marked with big U's and S's. Nosey solved the mystery. The lady holds two jobs. One in the day and one at night. The day job calls for a fine refined lady. The night job caused her to battle with every class of people, as she smilingly meets those who enter the cabaret. The funny part of it all is that hubby does not know about the night job. One of these days she is going to spring that large bank account on the quiet old man and he is going to die of heart failure because she is saving every penny. This is one mystery girl that is really doing right and has a high purpose.

Richardson, Pres. A Letter Chicago, Ill. Feb. 7, 1922 Miss Louise Johnson, Canton, Miss. Dear friend: I know that you will be surprised to hear from me in big Chicago, Ill. I have been here almost two weeks now, and child, am getting just fine. Do you remember that fine hotel we used to read about in the Chicago pa- pers so much—the Idlewild? Well, I am stopping there and you know child, it is a scream, swell dining room and parlor to sit around and rest, also swell rooms, you ought to see mine —it is a hum-dinger and I only pay $5.00 a week for it. But let me tell you child! just met a swell brown and he is a darling. He takes me out almost every night and we have some time, and he takes me everywhere in a taxi. Every time we get ready to go out he says, "dear, call Victory 69 and tell the Dreamland Taxi Service to send our taxi." He took me to the Dreamland Cabaret last night and dear, let me tell it is some place. It has a canvas porch that reach from the door to the edge of the sidewalk where the automobiles drive up and let you out and in the night is just like day in front of the Dreamland because they have a lot of electric lights and a big electric sign which read C-A-B-A-R-E-T and it is really pretty. But when you get inside is the time, plenty of jazz music, dancing and listening to the entertainers. I certainly wish you were here to go to some of these places with me. Well, dear, it is almost time for my new brown to be here he is going to take me to dinner this afternoon so I will close; will write more next time. Good-bye. Your friend. Sadie.

Nathan Miller, Mrs. H. Payne Whitney, Mrs. Oliver Harriman, the widow of Enrico Caruso and other celebrities graced the occasion with their presence, her services have been very much in demand. Flattering offers have been received from vaudeville managers, and propositions have been made to feature her in musical productions. On the evening Miss Smith scored such a distinct and unexpected victory over Lucille Hegeman, Daisy Martin and Alice Leslie Carter, her stock took a sensational rise, and representatives of phonograph record companies immediately sought to sign her as their exclusive artist. It was not until a few days ago that Miss Smith came to a decision, casting her lot with the makers of the Black Swan records. The chief reasons she assigned for joining the Black Swan forces were: First, because the concern is owned and managed solely by colored people. Secondly, because she is greatly impressed with the bright outlook for these records in the immediate future. Trixie Smith was the dark horse in the contest, and the audience, composed of five thousand persons, by thunderous applause, decided beyond any doubt that she was rightfully entitled to the silver loving cup which was presented her by Mrs. Irene Castle Tremaine, former wife of Vernon Castle, the dancer. Bob Slater, well known in theatricals, is credited with having unearthed Trixie Smith. JAZZ ARTISTS QUIT AS ETHEL WATERS STARTS SOUTH Although four members of her jazz band quit the company at the close of the Black Swan Troubadours engagement here at the Grand Theatre because announcement was made by the management that the company would immediately start on an extended tour in the South, Ethel Waters, the world's greatest singer of the blues, is on her way Southward. She has made up her mind to appear before colored audiences in Dixie, and says it will take more than members of her company to quit before she changes her mind about visiting the Southern States. When the four musicians declared they were through, Miss Waters asked if there were others in the company who objected to traveling in the South. There was no response. The singer ended the incident by stating that while railroad accommodations and other phases of traveling were none too desirable in the South, that she felt it her duty to make sacrifices in order that members of her race might hear her sing a style of music which is a product of the Southland. The places of the four dissatisfied musicians were at once filled by men from Pittsburgh, St. Louis and Chicago. V PLAY mes., Wed., Thurs. 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 WM.

THE MONOGRAM A real vaudeville bill is being presented here during this week, made up of the best on the circuit. Mr. Miller, the popular proprietor was held up in the theatre last week. He was in the house alone, at one o'clock in the afternoon, and as he was preparing to open his safe he was confronted by the thief, who took $150 in money and diamonds. Mr. Norman is presenting a strong bill this week. Aside from a big feature picture, he is showing four acts of superb vaudeville. The feature act is John Mason tabloid of 15 people, richly dressed and offering an hour of classic entertainment. The other acts are all good ones and go over great. Clarence Jones' orchestra is wonderful and the seven musicians are a fixed asset to the house. Music Never Grows Old The Chicago Musical Exchange, 59 E.

There was no response. She knocked again. Only the tortured stricken sobs of a young girl. She opened the door very gently and stepped inside. At the bedside knelt the disheveled form of a girl She placed her hand on the girl's shoulder and gently turned her around until she could see her face. Then it was her own heart that cried out. In that one look she read the answer to a mystery that had shattered one whole family and had shut her own father's door against her.

Sunset DENS Phone Douglas 0168 Drexel 1381 Inn THE WORLD OF SPORTS BILL TATE K.O.'s OWENS IN SECOND AT MEMPHIS MEMPHIS, TENN., Feb. 11—Bill Tate stepped one rung higher in his claim for the Negro heavyweight championship in the second round of a scheduled eight round fight here Monday night when he knocked out Roughhouse Owens. A right socker to the chin laid Owens down for the count of ten. He was knocked down twice in the first round and once in the second before he took the count. Tate towered six feet six inches and weighed 225. Owens went into the ring two inches shorter than Tate, but topping him ten pounds in weight. Owens' most prominent claim to the titular recognition was a recent victory over the veteran Sam Langford. It is generally conceded that the Boston Tar Baby has about withered, yet he is capable of offering considerable competition for most of the ring giants. From what was seen of the two giants in preparatory work, Tate was the cleverer of the two and in fact exceptionally shifty for a man of his bulk. In his boxing with Kid Black and iKd Sweet, welters, Tate displayed a finished lett jab and has unleashed what looks like a damaging right. Owens has shown little cleverness in his practice work and has made little pretense at boxing. He worked with Battling Gabee heavyweight, but did not put on the gloves. They tugged each other around. It was a repetition of his training the previous day, although he worked Saturday with the gloves. There has been little opportunity to judge Owens as a boxer. Consequently as the result of what each has shown here, Tate was a decided favorite at the ringside. SPORTIVELY PEAKING Danny Edwards of Portland, Ore., Colored Bantam champion, is in the city, Danny is working out at Kid Howard's Gymnasium and he looks nightly good to your "Uncle Al" and it advanced reports are to be taken as meaning anything is going to give someone an awful lot of trouble should plans that are now in the fire materialize. Musicians' Union says, "If you are running a dance hall you cannot carry food into the room," what about girls taking their meal CHECKS in Mr. Union. The baseball meeting is all over, Pittsburgh and Cleveland have been admitted to the national league, thus making it possible for them to beat Rube Foster's Giants in the flag race. Torennii also bats from the left side of the plate. There seems to be shortage of something in the Wills' Camp lately. Wonder if it's punches or air. First it's Brennan won't do for Dempsey. Then it's Willis won't do for Dempsey. Next it's Carpenter won't do for Dempsey. Now a Boston writer says, "Gibbons won't do for Demsey." How-Do-They-Do? Went to see the Philips' Englewood basketball game Friday, don't know whether I paid for the music furnished by the Philips' orchestra or the game. Oh, you jazz! Wendell Phillips play the Hyde Park Quintette at Phillips' Gymnasium Friday. Hyde Park gave Phillips their only defeat this season a short time ago and the boys are out to get sweet revenge.

"BIG BILL" TATI National Negro League Faces Big Mileage Meeting of moguls planned with an idea of shortening railroad jumps. Forecast of coming campaign. By Dave Wyatt When the Western circuit magnates of the N. N. League meet to arrange the playing schedule for the coming season, the gathering may not resemble what most folks thinks a peace conference should be, and it is more than likely that there will be the usual scramble for holiday dates upon the larger parks of the circuit, if not at home, and the usual vain efforts of magnates to manufacture the ideal schedule will probably be exerted. But, in one thing there is certain to be harmony. Every magnate who attends will agree that a schedule of the shortest mileage possible be adopted, and in order to cut down the distance that will have to be traveled some of them probably will sacrifice some of their other desires. For, he it known that the present interstate passenger fares, surcharges and the like has caused the club owners to study the railroad maps more diligently than they ever did before. Transportation has always been an important item in the Western Circuit of the N. N. League. The average club of the circuit travels between seven and eight thousand miles on a 90 game schedule during a season and with 16 and 16 men the increased rate of travel means that every club contributes five and six hundred dollars more to the railroad cooters now then at any other time in the past. One of the club owners in contemplating the additional drain on his bank roll on travel between Kansas City and Pittsburgh, leaned back in his chair and sighed as he remarked: "Yes they get us going and coming. It's too bad the clubs in the league are not within walking distance of each other." The Western Circuit should enjoy a red-hot race this coming season. "Rube" Foster and his combination of Giants and new comers should have no trouble in leading the league at the finish, although it will not be a walk away for them by any means. Next to the American Giants, the Detroit Stars should be put up in the running. Petway and his men will be game fighters all through the season, and it is not going to be easy for the Foster club to shake them off.

Jim Taylor has been doing a lot of hustling to strengthen the Cleveland combination for next year, and it things break just fair, the Cleveland bunch look good enough to cop the third place honor. The Cubans will make trouble for all clubs as they swing around the circuit, and may put up a fight for third or fourth place. Pittsburgh may set a hot pace in the early rounds of the circuit, having a wealth of young material, and youngsters scrap fast and furious in April and May and June. Conditions at St. Louis are unsettled and it entered in the coming season's race, it's a mere matter of speculation as to how they might finish or what players they would have. Viewed from all angles, a fair distribution of the talent at hand, this should make for a wonderful season both from a financial and playing standpoint and should bring out a mighty hot race.

Earl Johnson, national five-mile ten-mile and cross country amateur champion and the "sheik" of long distance runners of this country, lett Pittsburgh last Saturday night for an extended Eastern trip. Inidentally, Johnson will make an attempt to add still another star to his fast-growing crown when he will make a bid for the national two-mile championship in Buffalo. When seen shortly before leaving, Johnson, who, in spite of the fact that he is the most talked of man on the track today, was modestly itself. "Tell the people not to expect too much of me," said Earl. "For I am coming out of my natural distance, the distance at which I specialize. And in addition to that I am going up against the very best that the country has to offer in that class." "The men that I am to meet are runners of renowned ability, and these men are in their class." But we take the liberty to say right here, that regardless of the fact that he may lose, the men who compete in any of the meets with him will certainly know that they have been in a race. Won National Fame Johnson, who is running under the colors of the Edgar Thomson Steel Works of Braddock, has won nationwide wide fame through his meteoric rise from the ranks, to a place in the sun. Under the tutelage of Hunter Johnson, who started Earl, his wonderful natural ability rapidly carried him to the tore, until today he ranks in a class all his own. And this class is of his own making. The past season was the most successful from every standpoint, that the slight athlete has ever had. Johnson's first stop will be at Washington, where he will complete arrangements to enter in the special event to be staged at the Howard University track meet in th spring. From there he will go to New York for a few days, dropping over to Baltimore. First Race in Boston Thursday night he leaves New York for Boston, where he will compete in the B. A. a three-mile grind on Saturday. Johnson is a prime favorite in the Hub City, and his great race with Earl Faller two years ago is still talked about. Although Johnson lost to Faller by a step, the thrills in that race were enough to satisfy the ordinary individual for a lifetime. Speaking of that race, a Boston paper comments thusly: "Remember the dusky limbed runner who did all the running in that contest? Recall the lad who was out in front on and off fighting Faller at every step? Remember the great battle around the final lap of the contest, with the pistol, only to Summon something from the unknown for his winning drive, which came so near bringing his first honors? Remember all that? If you do, you know John- Nightingale Entered Faller will not be in the race Saturday, but Gordon Nightingale, famous for his international three-mile victory at the Penn relay games two years ago, Ray Buker, the running kid from Bates, Willie Ritola, the Finnish lad and Max Bohland are some of the men whom Earl will be called upon to test his mettle, his brain and his brawn against. From there he will go to Buffalo, N. Y., where he will attempt to wrest the amateur two-mile championship on February 11. WHAT IS MORE?

PHILLIPS AND ENGLEWOOD SPLIT 2 The league leading Phillips fresh from their 31-1 triumph over Linbloom Tuesday and playing the game that has made them the most feared team in the central section of the High School League experience little trouble in winning from Englewood by a 17-11 score at Phillips' Gymnasium Friday afternoon. Englewood being unable to reach the basket through team work and dribbling resorted to "Long shots," Superior team work and accurate tossing by Phillips more than offset this, however, and Wendell moved another notch closer to the title. The shooting of Lotten and Chapman for Phillips and Helgen for Englewood was a feature, both of Lotten's baskets were made from difficult angles and near the center of the floor. Johnson played his usual good game at guard; this youngster has the ability and if properly coached should become one of the real stars of the game. Englewood Lights Win Mostly because of the shooting of Robinson and the guarding of Thompson before being disqualified for committing tools the Englewood lights defeated Philips 14-10 in a preliminary that was a real thriller. As usual Philips started slowly and before they could get warmed to the situation the game was safely tucked away. W. Philips—10. B. F. P. T.

STATE BANK CHICAGO Government Supervision EDITORIAL PAGE THE CHICAGO WHIP HEALTH HINTS Obesity is described as a disorder of metabolism characterized by an excessive amount of bodily fat, distributed over the whole body, but more marked where fatty tissue is normally present; or it may be an evidence of disturbance of glands of internal secretions. Before an obese person should allow himself to take any course of treatments to reduce he should be examined by the family physician and be assured that he has no constitutional disease as often obesity accompanies such conditions. When assured that there is no constitutional disease present, it is up to the patient to see that the principles of the treatment are carried out. The essentials for any treatment for the reduction in obesity lies in the proper diet and a moderate amount of exercise. Care should be taken in dieting not to underfeed and destroy the body proteins. Not only are the quantities of food reduced, but their character so changed that the individual gets a diet that is voluminous rather than one that is concentrated. The patient that is slightly overweight can be reduced by confining his or her meals to lean meats, fish, chicken, green vegetables, and fruits. Exercise should only be in moderation. At no time should exercise be instituted so as to make the patient progressively weaker. Too rapid reduction is often harmful. The best system of exercises are found in a book written by, Muller, called, "My System." If the amount of weight to be lost is more than five or ten pounds, six or eight pounds per month is the highest rate of loss that should be encouraged. With the very obese, the total amount of weight lost should not be more than about fifty pounds per year. The patient should also be informed early that any departure from routine or any resumption of old habits, after the cure is completed will be followed by a rapid increase in weight again. Drugs that are widely advertised to reduce fat are often dangerous, and should not be used. Use only such drugs which are prescribed by your family physician. LEGAL HINTS Mr. Editor: I went into a store to buy a piano. The dealer showed me one stating the price to be $500, and offered to deliver it to me at my home, with the understanding that the piano was to be paid for or returned ninety days later at my option. I accepted the offer, but within three days after delivery of the piano it was seized under levy of execution to satisfy a judgment against the dealer. Have I any right to recover the piano and, if so, what is it and why?—John S., Meridian, Miss. Answer: Your remedy would be replevin for the piano. The delivery of an article at a fixed price, to be paid for or returned at the option of the party receiving it is a sale and the title was therefore in you. Dear Editor: I purchased a wagon at auction from a man by the name of Heaton. On the same day I sold the wagon to Mr. Chase. Chase agreed to pay Heaton for the wagon and Heaton agreed to this. Chase then failed to pay and Heaton sued me. Can he recover and, if so, why—Roy Gum, Galveston, Texas. Answer: No, he cannot recover from you, Mr. Gum. When Heaton agreed to the arrangement, whereby he accepted Chase as his debtor instead of you, his claim against you was thus extinguished and he can accordingly sue only Chase for the money. Dear Sir: Some Indians knowingly and wrongfully cut timber from a reservation belonging to the government, transplanted to Mexico City and sold it to a friend of mine. The government has brought suit against him. My friend acted in good faith and is troubled to know as to whether the government can recover and, if so, whether they can recover what the timber was worth when cut, $60 where severed, or whether the government can recover $650—what it is worth in Mexico City, where he purchased it. Answer: The government can recover the enhanced value which the wilful wrongdoer had given the property by their labor; in this case, the $650. UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP When recently arrested for blocking traffic out east, Jack Johnson was asked his occupation and replied "speculator." Johnson is a speculator, but he will be eventually backed to the wall. He has speculated with his career, the reputation of his race, his own honor. We cannot point to one thing that he has done to benefit his people since he won the championship. Johnson is man of mother-wit and common sense, but impresses us as being one of the most spectacular spectators that the world has known. We are ashamed of him. They are rounding up gun tooters in Chicago, to what avail however we are afraid to say. On Sunday night forty offenders were apprehended by the police but only one was found guilty—a black man. It seems that justice again miscarried and that race prejudice prevented the public from getting protection from the wielders of concealed weapons. Prejudice and race hatred oftimes operate as boomerangs. When the Dyer bill was under discussion in the House, Congressman Sisson of Mississippi said that he would rather for the whole black race to be lynched than one white girl to be raped. Only two or three cases of rape are included among the causes of over sixty cases of lynching last year. The Congressman really made a defense for mob law and murder. Then they wonder why the black people left the south. Men of the Sisson type, both ignorant and malicious, are a menace to organized society and should be placed in a reservation for imbeciles and inebriates. It is hoped that the black people of Chicago will go on record for clean politics during the next election. As long as they are led to the polls like sheep to the slaughter they will never get the respect of the world. Mayor Thompson of Chicago feels that he has the black voters in his vest pocket and the result is evident to all. Bombs, the Ku Klux Klan and the protected maintenance of vice. VOL. IV.

Heredity plays an important role in the production of obesity. It often runs in families for one to be fat. As a rule these patients remain fat no matter what precautions are taken. However, early in life, if children from fat parents show a tendency to great overweight should have fat-forming substances restricted in their food. Their sweets should be cut down and they should eat more starchy foods. Also physical YELLOW FINGERNAILS Many yellow nails were noticeable upon the gnarled and ashened fingers of the black people just a few months ago. Those yellow nails were the relics and grim reminders of the late world war. They were caused by the chemical reaction of high explosives which were handled almost exclusively by the black men. It was highly distasteful and laborious work. White men flatly refused to do the task. Fabulous wages were spurned. Northern representatives of the great ammunition plants hurried southward and whispered wonderful words into the credulous ears of the black people. They came north. They faced the terrible task of working in T.N.T. (high explosives), they inhaled the poisonous fumes and gases emitted from the seething chemical vats. The lungs of some were scorched, the eyesight of others was dimmed and blurred and the nails of all of them turned yellow. Now the yellow fingers of the black men are scrawny and drawn. The fingers grasp in empty space for food and succor. What is America going to do with the hundreds of thousands of black men with yellow nails who came north to aid in the wartime industries? Treatment Those who have considered the problem of absorbing and assimilating the unemployed black people who have concentrated in great northern cities have failed to offer any practical solution or even suggestion which would give mediate or immediate relief. The white man has shown little or no concern and the black leadership has been groping along blindly not knowing what pitfall or grim disaster awaited its next step. The yellow-fingered men are in a precarious condition. Landlords clamor for their overdue and unpaid rents, installment houses threaten to seize their beds and belongings, the "Shylock" pawnbrokers, leering from behind their three glittering balls, exact their pound of flesh without mercy and from all sides the tragic notice of "no help wanted" greets their sad and sunken eyes. What is to ever become of them? What will normalcy bring? What shall be done with New York's thirty and Chicago's twenty thousand? Will they ever get jobs or will they be forced back into the southland to face conditions from which they shrink and shudder? In northern cities before the war black people were employed almost exclusively as porters, waiters, cooks, maids, nurses and handy men and women. The big factories were closed to them and they knew no place in the iron, steel and textile industries. The war opened the doors to them and since war-time production has ceased what are they to do? As the country drifts back into the old order of affairs immigration restrictions will be removed and the foreigner will be served. If the large northern cities will not support us why not evacuate before we are swallowed up in the vortex of starvation? Why not decentralize and seek the northern rural districts? The farm lands of New York, New Jersey, Michigan and Indiana are virgin in spots and generally fertile and productive and the black men with yellow fingernails could well fit in these sections of the country. White philanthropy being interested in the health of large cities would finance to a large degree any intelligent plan of decentralization. A little tutoring in scientific farming would enable the black men to eke out a comfortable and respectable livelihood. As it is now starvation and desperation have driven many black men with yellow nails to acts of crime. When hunger, despair, suffering, disillusion and disease grip a people the whole nation is endangered and intimidated and America faces just that problem. If a plan of decentralization is submitted which is feasible and practical it should be adopted by the black people and supported by the white, for now the yellow nails flash hideously. They strike terror and fear in the hearts of all who see them. It seems that the yellow nails would be of more service around a plow handle than around the stock of a revolver. The yellow nails speak out in irony against the American creed and code which takes everything and gives little in return. INSTITUTIONAL IDEAS The Institutional churches are growing in popularity among the black people. The new idea is to attract the recalcitrant public from the glitter and tinsel of the world's magnetism. Gymnasiums have been installed in the new churches, some have even installed billiard rooms and smoking parlors. Entertainment and recreation is offered to spirited youth who crave excitement and adventure. In Chicago some churches have wiped out all lines of denomination and their doors are thrown open every day to everybody. The institutional church functions during the toil of the week as well as on the hallowed Sabbath. The new idea is destined to play an important part in giving higher ideals to the younger generations, and it is thought that boys and girls can be made clean-minded and wholesome-limbed without the stiff and stern methods of the Puritans. The institutional churches are to play a great part in the future development of the black people of America and should be studied and supported by the entire public. A. E. H. Editor's Mail To the Editor: A Pennsylvania school girl, in a prize assay, said: "Thrift is the management of your affairs in such a manner that the value of your possessions is constantly being increased." Roger W. Babson, the economist, says: "Thriftlessness, the American characteristic, is due to a lack of 'know-how.'" The school girl's definition of thrift is excellent, and it may be that Mr. Babson's idea that thriftlessness is due to a lack of "know-how," is so. May I suggest the "know-how" to your readers, through your valuable paper, that they may practice thrift with advantage to themselves and to their country, by directing their attention t to the new issue of Treasury Saving Certificates, which are now on sale at the post office and stations, and which are described as the most attractive securities ever issued by the United States Government? These certificates are issued in denominations of $25.00, $100.00 and $1,000.00, costing $20.00, $80.00 or $800.00 respectively, carrying $4½% interest, compounded semi-annually. At the end of five years these will be paid at the full maturity value. The attractive features of the investment are the absolute security in principal and guaranteed high rate of interest, and a guaranteed right to withdraw the money at any time, at a lower, but still fair rate of interest. They are practically exempt from taxation. Treasury Saving Stamps in $1.00 denominations, non-interest bearing, will continue on sale at the post office and stations until further notice, as a convenience to those who wish to accumulate the purchase price of the new issue of Treasury Saving Certificates. Sincerely yours. ARTHUR C. LUEDER. Postmaster Y.W.C.A.News The Indiana Avenue Branch of the Young Women's Christian Association is steering right ahead in its activities for the 1922 Program. The Girl Reserves reported $106.00 as their annual returns of the "Vodville Classeque." This department is planning a very splendid piece of work in the Wendell Phillips High School. The Dean of Wendell Phillips is asking this because she finds that scholarship and loyalty ranks highest in the girls who have had the benefit of the Girl Reserves Program. The Association is very proud of the fact that the community is actually realizing how the Girl Reserves Program is reacting in the standards set by its program. Our General Secretary back with us again feels quite assured that our 1922 program for reorganization is speedily and happily taking form. Our Library circulation for last week exceeded by far any previous record. The Library is available to all friends being glad to serve anybody. The Residence with its full glow of youth is happy; and a more wholesome environment than this home is to be found only in the very best regulated families, for this future Christian womanhood the Association is continually planning.

Englewood Notes By Grace Daly (Musical Critic) On last Sunday evening, January 29th, the choir of St. John's A. M. E. E Church gave its first of its monthly series of Song Services, under its direc- tor, Mrs. George F. Williams, their new conductor. The program was a treat to those fortunate in being there On Tusday evening, January 31st, Mr. Hardy Woodfolk, the noted tenor, gave a musical concert at which the Accompiato Singers made their debut in Englewood. Their singing was great. Mr. Woodfolk sang unusually well and was heartily applauded. Why We Believe Federal Soldiers Left Dixie To Soon The futility of the hope that "public sentiment" will ever put a stop to lynching in the South is demonstrated by the following extract from an argument by Representative Sisson, of Mississippi, speaking in opposition to the Anti-Lynching Bill. The seriousness of this Southerner's statements will be realized when it is remembered that they were uttered in an open session of the House of Representatives in Washington and will become a part of the Congressional Record. Representative Sisson said: "There is less race prejudice in the South than in the North. * * * I work Negroes on my plantation. * * * They are my friends. * * * I do not want them as a son-in-law, or a daughter-in-law. * * * It is implanted in the heart and mind of the Anglo-Saxon to preserve the purity and integrity of his blood. * * * You who are supporting this bill are traitors to the white race. * * * You who vote for this bill are destroying white civilization." "Before God and high heaven this is the sacred truth. I would rather the whole black race of this world were lynched than for one of the fair daughters of the South to be ravished and torn by one of these black brutes. Now, if this be treason, make the most of it. (Aplause form Democra.) Yes, But A Southerner's Conscience Never Awakens (Chicago Tribune) A bill to give the federal government jurisdiction in mob disorders and lynchings has been passed by the house of representatives. It aims to allow the United States to intervene in the police power of the state, and holds the delinquent local authorities accountable to the central government and the county which has not protected a victim from mob violence responsible to the extent of $10,000, to be paid the family or other heirs of the victim. One of the difficulties in prosecuting in cases of mob violence is found in the local pressure brought on the prosecutors. If the community has condoned the lynching, it protects the lynchers, and the authorities are prevented by community sentiment from taking and punishing the offenders. such as entirely mob viability the conspirion police work price is Feder they make is more than in than ad minuty the convation. That the gro having In such cases, the federal prosecutors, not being dependent upon local politics to the extent that other authorities are, might proceed with greater vigor and effectiveness to get the leaders of the mob and punish them. Presumably, the bill is particularly aimed at the south; not because the north does not have lynching and does not allow offenders to escape, but because the south is supposed to have more community sympathy for lynchers and to afford less chance of punishment. Sentiment in the south is rapidly turning against mob lawlessness, we believe, and that is the correction of BOOK REVIEW "Dark Water" has in it ten essays and ten prose poems. Two of the prose poems we must rejoice to have in permanent form. The Credo and The Litany at Atlanta. Some of the others are a trifle exotic, perhaps the Negro born and reared in New England likes to feel that he has companionship with the rich fragrance and growth of the jungle, but all are admirable interludes to the discussions of the problems that especially relate to colored Americans. Africa, the colored woman, white men, domestic service, work and wealth, childhood, beauty and death, these comprise the subjects. There are great passages that will pass into literature. Sometimes they are so white with hate that they partly misonestrue motives, but they cannot be forgotten. For instance, in speaking of the colored woman, Dr. Du Bois, after telling of the many things which he can forgive, even slavery, declared, "I shall never forgive, neither in this world nor the world to come, the white, South's wanton and continued and persistent insulting of the black womanhood which it sought and seeks to prostitute to its lust. I cannot forget that it is such southern gentlemen * * * who insist on withholding from my mother and wife and daughter those signs and appellations of courtesy and respect which elsewhere they withhold only from courtesans." One loves the magnificent arrangement but is quite sure that the southerners' treatment of the colored woman comes largely from his old time association with her as one of the servant class. Domestic servants alone, whatever their race, though they may become millionaire's wives are always Jane or Mary when they meet their former masters and mistresses and not until the colored woman of the South largely leave domestic service will they find a white man raising his hat to them or be called by their last names. One does not need to call in the courtesan who, by the way, is often treated with more respect than the domestic servant. But all the same the paragraph is magnificent. There are books that people may read and there are books that people must read, and "Dark Water" is a book that must be read. By Mary White Ovington Chairman of the Board of Directors of the National Association for "DARK WATER." by W. E. B. DuBois. Published by Harcourt, Brace and Howe, New York City. Price, $2.00; postage, 10c. It is difficult to say any new word regarding Dark Water. The book has been widely read and has passed through several editions. And yet it would be an incomplete series of such abuses. No community can be entirely sate against an outbreak of mob violence. The evil thing is when the community condones the lawless punishment of crime and adopts it as a procedure. The invasion of state police power by the central government would tighten up justice, but the price is pretty stiff. Federal judges are appointed, and they are appointed for life, which makes for independence. Prosecution is more vigorous and more certain than in the state courts; but, rather than adopt this expedient to cure community diseases, we'd prefer to see the community work out its own salvation. That would mean betterment from the ground up, which is better than having it handed down from the top, and the American social system ought not to be confessing constantly its failure and inability to develop a lawful society. Even in such terrible disorders as lynchings it is better to have the correction come from the awakened conscience of the people than to take a short cut through the reserved powers of the state to justice handed down from Washington. The state threat against national unity has disappeared, but the state remains an important social and administrative component of the nation. The state should not be broken down persistently by the centralization of duties and powers in federal bureaucracy. Book Chats that failed to note this volume of essays by the man who stands unquestionably as one of the greatest prose writers today in the United States. Dr. Du Bois began his literary career, as I remember, back in the nineteen with an article in the Atlantic Monthly. "Between me and the other world," he write, "there is always an unasked question; unmasked by some through feelings of deacety by others, through the difficulty of rightly framing it. All nevertheless flutter around it. They approach me in a half hesitant sort of way, eye me curiously or compassionately, and then, instead of saying directly, how does it feel to be a problem? they say, I know an excellent colored man in my town; I ought at Mechanicsville; or do not these Southern outrages make your blood boil? At these I smile, or am interested, or reduce the boiling to a simmer, as the occasion may require. To the real question. How does it feel to be a problem, I answer seldom a word." While those who know Dr. Du Bois realize that this has been true of the spoken word, of the written one it is hardly the case. For his two books, "The Souls of Black Folk" and "Dark Water" and some of his editorial writings voice with intenseness and clarity what it means to be a problem in America. No white person who reads Du Bois can ever fail to feel his poignancy. More than any other author he has shown the suffering of sensitive people under insult and persecution. "Don't you think Du Bois is bitter?" the white reader asks, with the implication that to be bitter is to be in the wrong. But the bitterness of "Dark Water" is a great part of its power. It stirs the self-complacent citizen out of his comfortable optimism and whether he likes it or not makes him face realities. No man of the race that started the Atlanta massacre can read the Litany at Atlanta, the cry of the blacks to God "How long shall the mounting flood of innocent blood roar in Thine ears and pound in our hearts for vengeance!" and again "Surely Thou too art not white, O Lord, a pale, bloodless, heartless thing!" and be unmoved. Such a man complains of the bitterness because he hates the fact that he is moved. I speak of Dr. Du Bois' books in connection with white people because it is this reaction with which I am most familiar, but I believe that his writings have greatly influenced the colored race, especially the youth of that race. He has been a champion of the doctrine that the race must not accept men engaged an insult, a doctrine that has born fruit at Chicago and Washington and Tulsa, and that will continue increasingly to bear fruit
