Situated in the heart of the residential district, running full blast in spite of numerous protests, by the residents of the neighborhood the all night cab carcet with its adjournig gambling den at 4006-08 Indiana Ave, has grown to such proportions that it is more than a menace to the neighborhood. Through the perfectly innocent entrance on Indiana Ave, the patrons and followers of wine, song and the little dancing cubes pass upstairs to sit at their favorite pastime.
Protest Of No Avail.
Regidents of the neighborhood have entered the protest after protest against the place, complaining of the sus sustained noise in the wee small hours of the morning as ribbald laughter and dizzy jazzy music crashes upon the otherwise dead silence of the early morning. Couples and groups of hardened merry makers and gangsters singing or swearing, coming and going from the game and the dance fill the early morning as depressions, depending upon whether pleasure or fighting is the order of the morning.
Large Sums In Game.
After one mounts the stairs to this den of vice, he must present himself to the closed door where an eye views him through the "look-out hole." If one's appearance convinces, the look out man that you are alright, then you may enter to try your hand with the fiele little cubes or take your chance with fite and the slithering paddleboards, manipulated by smooth and active fingers of men whose sole occupation is sitting at the table of green baize. Large muscous pass as the man enters the room and curled curses of erys of joy follow the reading of the fateful message of gain or loss. These operations go merrily on as diners, dancers and drinkers enjoy themselves acres, the hall.

BRISTOL, Va. Sept. 2. The keen noses of churchgoers in a Baptist Church near West Jefferson. N.

WASHINGTON, D.

He further is said to have told them that he feared the tariff and the soldiers' bonus would occupy the attention of the Senate for the remainder of the session, and he was powerless to help in the situation. "I am glad to see you gentlemen," he said, "but you are wasting your sweetness on me."

SCENT HOAX IN GARVEY'S ABDICATION
NEW YORK CITY, Sept. 2.—Although Marcus Carve, facetiously called "Mad Moses," deserted his "Black Israel" in the midst of the wilderness, it is said to be a well-known fact that there was method in that particular bit of madness, tion, he firmly believed that the resignation would not be accepted, or if action would not be accepted, or if accepted, he would be immediately reelected with authority to name his own executive council. He therefore asked the entire council to resign with him.
Is Disappointed
He quickly saw that he had miscalculated the situation when the convention prepared to accept his resignation, and when the men he most wished to be rid of refused to resign. Garvey then attempted to withdraw the resignation, but he had by this time lost control of the convention and the resignation was accepted by a vote of 80 to 9. Thus Garvey was caught in his own net. It had been rumored about the convention hall for several days that Garvey and the entire cabinet would resign in a body. Garvey was then to be reelected and propose an amendment to the constitution to the effect that he be empowered to name his own cabinet. His main reason for wanting this procedure was to rid himself of Dr. J. W. H. Eason, who has long been a thorn in the flesh of the "Emperor." Above the dincasion occasioned by the action of Garvey, Ellie Garcia, auditor general, asked to be heard. When recognized he, too, announced intention of resigning.
There was no abatement in excitement when F. Wilson Ellegor, commissioner general," took similar action. Then Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis, international organizer, Rudolph Smith, "leader of Negroes of the Eastern Province of the West Indies," and R. L. Poston, second assistant secretary general, tendered their resignations. J. W. H. Eason, "leader of American Negroes," and John Sydney De Bourg, "leader of Negroes of the Western Province of the West Indies," were cited on the platform, but man-

CONEY ISLAND IS SCENE OF BRUTAL MURDER
Find Walls Spattered With Woman's Blood, Her Skull Crushed
CONEY ISLAND, N. Y., Sept. 2.—A woman's lifeless body, her skull crushed in, with a blood-smeared hatchet lying by her side, and the walls spattered with blood, were the grusome sights that greeted the police when they entered a rooming house here to investigate a murder report.
The woman was Mrs. George Brown, 41, the mother of four children, who was killed by her husband, George Brown. After committing the act, Brown escaped, and is still at large. The murder was one of the most brutal and ghastly recorded in this state.
The woman's body was discovered after Ethel, the oldest of the four children, had become frightened when her mother, who had gone out with Brown, after being threatened, failed to return.
Lived With Children
With her four children, Mrs. Brown lived on Mermaid Avenue, where she was employed as a caretaker. With the money she earned, she succeeded in sending her children to school and steadfastly refused to return to her husband, whose cruel and abusive treatment of herself and the children had first caused her to leave. From the daughters the police learned that the father had called at their home Friday night and threatened to kill their mother if she didn't go with him.
Forced to Leave Again
She returned about I a. m. Three hours later the husband reappeared, according to the children and pulling his wife from her bed, exclaimed. "If you don't come back to my place I'll kill you." Then as the children looked on, Mrs. Brown, with tears streaming down her care-worn face, and evidently fearing for her own safety if she disobeyed, slowly dressed and followed the insanely jealous man to his rooms. She was never seen alive by any of her children again.
Daughter Begins Search
Throughout the lonely hours of the early morning the four children, huddled together in a terrified heap, waited the return of their "mother." Finally, when their fears for their mother's safety could no longer be endured, Ethel, the eldest of the children, went to her father's room.
There she told her pitiful tale, with the result that a search was instituted. The dead body of Mrs. Brown was found in the front part of the cellar and a general alarm was sent out for Brown.
The walls and floor were bespattered with blood, and the condition of the roof indicated that the wife had made a terrific struggle before she was finally killed.
The husband is still at large, but police, working on the theory that he is in hiding within the limits of the city, are making a thorough search.
BAR MEN FROM CLINIC THEN DENY DEGREE
CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept. 2, 2--Students who are not white at Western Reserve University may be required to study several years longer to receive their degrees than white students, according to a bulletin said to have been issued by the faculty recently.
The bulletin states that "colored students should recognize that because of the peculiar social condition, they may be required to spend a longer time than normal to fulfill their clinical requirements, and this school cannot graduate students who do not meet the standard."
This situation is accounted for, it is said, on account of the fact that non-white students in the medical and dental schools are not allowed to treat white patients who apply at the free clinics. They are therefore lacking in clinical experience.

GIRL CLAD ONLY IN WRIST WATCH SHOCKS ROOMERS
BUFFALO, N. Y. Sept. 2.—Policewoman Jane Grey was detailed to investigate a report last week that a young girl clad only in a wrist watch was frisking about in a rooming house to the distraction of the other occupants.
The policewoman found the report to be true and arrested the girl as she was demonstrating a Hawaiian dance through the halls with nothing to hide her from the public gaze but a wrist watch. Lodgers said she had appeared mysteriously in a taxicab and had taken it upon herself to entertain them with dances.
France Buries Black General With Honors
PARIS, France, Aug. 22.—Highest military ceremonies were performed at the funeral of General Alfred Dodds, who died in his eighty-fourth year last week.
General Dodds was a native of Senegal, son of a French white colonial official and a native black woman. He wore the grand Legion of Honor and a military medal which are conferred upon generals who have commanded victorious armies in the field. He was commander-in-chief of the armies, that added the great native kingdom of Dahomey and much of the Nigeria region as well as of the trans-Sahara territory, with millions of population, to the huge colonial empire of France in West Africa, where he did most of his campaigning when not fighting under the tricolor in Cochin-China and Tongkung. As a captain of infantry he was one of the heroes of the memorable defense of Bazelles in the Franco-German War of 1870 and the twice captured, escaped each time under the most sensational circumstances, to resume his place at the front, receiving the officer's cross of the Legion of Honor on the restoration of peace.
RODDY CHAIN STORES IN MEMPHIS CRASH
MEMPHIS, Tenn., Sept. 2.—The Roddy Cities Cooperative Stores Inc., with offices at 363 Beale Avenue, have been forced to close their doors on account of financial difficulties. At one time this company operated twelve grocery stores in this city and was engaged in a flourishing business. It is declared that the stores have been poorly managed recently and an investigation has been asked for by stockholders, who believe startling revelations will be made. Bert M. Roddy, cashier of the Solvent Savings Bank, is president of the corporation, Thomas H. Hayes, vice-president, and J. B. Woods is secretary and treasurer. The company was capitalized for $25,000. Atty. W. W. Bentley has been appointed receiver.
DOCTOR SEEKS HELP GETS ARRESTED
OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 2—When Dr. A. L. Hawkins of this city asked Policeman Joseph Zich, white, to have the car moved which was parked in front of his, so that he could drive his own car away, the policeman became insulted and arrested the doctor.
When Dr. Hawkins made his request of the policeman, the copper answered that he was a cop and not a porter. He also declared that he was tired "of seeing colored folks with stiff collars trying to run the town."
When the case came up in court the doctor was charged with interfering with an officer of the law. At the trial the doctor was discharged and the policeman received a severe reprimand.

Would Fill Up With Moonshine And Beat Her All Night, She Says
Crazed by moonshine, and inflamed by a quarrel with a theatre ticket agent, Fred Brown, 38, 2959 Wentworth Avenue, was shot and almost instantly killed by his wife, Mrs. Fannie Brown, late Sunday night.
Mrs. Brown told the police that she shot and killed her husband only after he persisted in beating her with a blackjack, and that she committed the act to save her own life. Brown had been in the habit of beating her whenever he got drunk, she said.
After the shooting Mrs. Brown made her escape, but surrendered to the police early Monday morning.
Went to Theatre Drunk
Mrs. Brown told reporters a straightforward story concerning the shooting at the Cottage Grove Station shortly after her arrest. She said that she and Brown, who had been drinking heavily, went to the Grand Theatre Sunday night and applied for tickets. For some reason, probably because he was drunk, the ticket agent refused to sell the man tickets. Cursing violently, Brown went away to find a policeman to help him get tickets. In reality, Mrs. Brown says, he went away and secured more whiskey.
He was gone so long that the woman went and telephoned home to see if he was there. When she returned from the telephone booth, Brown had been back to look for her and had gone. Mrs. Brown then went home, she says, and found her husband there drunk and abusive. After heating and abusing her severely, he left the house.
Later in the night Brown came back home, more drunk than ever. He began to beat her again. She says she warned him not to touch her. They both rushed for a pistol in a dresser drawer. Mrs. Brown reached it first. She seized the pistol and fired one shot. Brown fell, mortally wounded in the back. Brown, who was a blacksmith, was in the habit of getting drunk and beating her the greater part of the night, when drinking, she said. Inquest was held over his body at Jackson's morgue Monday afternoon.

OIL BUBBLE BURSTS IN BIG FRAUD
On a stage set in Chicago, surrounded by gay life in a fashionable hotel and joy rides in an expensive motor car, the police, aided by the Keystone National Detective Agency succeeded in exposing one of the frauds in Oklahoma oil lands yet brought to light.
Several days ago two young women motored into the city from Oklahoma and Kansas. They registered at the Vincennes Hotel in the most expensive suite of rooms. Their chauffeur, James Cooper burned up the streets in their new high powered Cadillac automobile.
A few days after they had been in the city, the police were asked to locate Cooper, who had passed several bad cheeks. When picked up by the police and Keystone operatives, Cooper immediately communicated with W. Cornaday, a white banker from Winfield, Kas, who made the cheeks good.
Fraud Leaks Out.
In the meantime, it began to leak out that the girls, who were Misses Annie and Lucilla Culley, of Okema, Okla., had been coerced to sell oil property worth $150,000 to a firm of white bankers in Winfield, Kans., for the sum of $25,000.
The girls were induced to sell the property, it is said, by threats upon the life of the ragged father, Willis Cully. After selling the property, the girls were persuaded to leave the community in order to hush the matter up. At the time of the sale, it is said there were eight producing wells upon the property, which had already produced $40,000 of oil.
Hormonal oil of earth. Hormonal oil of earth. He offered to buy the property for $100,000 if the girls could have the fraudulent sale get aside.

RAIL STRIKE DELAYS LOS ANGELES-LIBERIA VOYAGE
(Preston News Service.)
LOS ANGELES, Cal., Sept. 2—Rev. J. E. Lewis, head of the Western "back-to-Africa" movement issued a statement here last Friday detailing reasons why his party did not sail on Tuesday as scheduled.
Rev. Lewis said, "The railroad strike has prevented the departure of the Good Motorship Angel from Los Angeles to Liberia with 100 members of the race who have booked passage to Africa. The date of sailing has, therefore, been postponed pending the arrival here of three of our members from the East, and South, who have booked passage."
The Angel, termed the flagship of the Liberian Transportation Steamship Company and the Church of God, is said to be the only vessel flying the Liberian flag.

COLOR LINE IS WORTH $200 TO NEW YORKER
NEW YORK CITY, Sept. 2.—It costs James Dracatos, a Greek restaurant proprietor at 2 East 82nd Street, $200 to draw the color line in his restaurant on May 20. On that date he is alleged to have refused to serve Misses Ardelle Jeanette and Margaret Wiggins, of 148 West 199th Street.
When the waiter refused to serve the girls they appealed to the proprietor. He likewise refused and ordered them out of the place with a loud voice, declaring that they were not allowed. In addition to submitting to the statutory fine of $200, Dracatos was also sued for $500 by each of the girls. The Greek did not defend the suits and the sheriff was called upon to assess the damages.
Not Sorry He Lost Money on Slave Swap
ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. 2, — If Thomas Peacock had clung to a piece of Atlanta real estate that he swapped several years ago for Ran Peacock, a slave, he would have been worth at least $100,000 before he died. But he never regretted it, according to his statement.
Death now has claimed them both, Mr. Peacock died a few years ago, and "Uncle Ran" passed away the other day. The property increases in value yearly as Atlanta grows, "but it was better when he was a slave," the white man's remark in a few years ago when he saw a great office building going up on the lot at Whitehall and Alabama streets, one of the most valuable corners in the city.
The story behind the trade is that of the affection of the old-time Southerner for the slave boy, who was his especial playmate. Seventy years ago, before Lewis Peacock died, *m apportioning out his property, he left Ran to his daughter, Mrs. Thomas Connolly. Young Thomas Peacock, a few years later, gave his sister his fourth interest in the Alabama-Whitehall corral, and so, as a young slave was worth $1,500, Connolly's son now owns the lot and the Connolly building which stands on it. Real estate men say the lot itself is worth $400,000 or more.
Peacock said it was the best bargain he ever made because when he went away he left Ran to the children of Mrs. Peacock and the children, and it was Ran who worked the plantation near Atlanta and foraged for the wife and children of his master, after Sherman's soldiers had burned the city and striped the countryside of food.

In addition to the paying of the claim I was treated with the utmost courtesy by your representatives.

BOYD, VETERAN PUBLISHER, IS DEAD
NASHVILLE, LE, Sept. 2.—Richard Henry Boyd, aged 79, founder of the National Baptist Publishing Board, which furnished secular literature to negro Baptists over the entire country and the leading negro publisher of the South, died here at his home Wednesday night.
For some months past Dr. Boyd had been suffering from a complication of diseases, among which was diabetis or kidney trouble. His death was hastened by a paralytic stroke which he sustained a few days ago while his son, Henry Allen Boyd, was attending the annual convention of the National Negro Business League and of the National Negro Press Association which convened last week at Norfolk, Va. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Allen Boyd were summoned by telegraph to the bedside of their dying father and reached there in time to receive "the last farewell." Dr. Boyd leaves to mourn his loss a wife, Mrs. R. H Boyd; two sons, Henry Allen Boyd and Theophilus Boyd and two daughters, Mrs. Landers and Mrs. Johnson, all of whom are now living at Nashville. His two sons have for years labored with him in building up what is undoubtedly the greatest Negro publishing house in the United States of America or the world. The other son, James Blaine Boyd, died in Denver, Colo., only a few months ago.
Dr. R. H. Boyd was born in slavery. Although deprived of the advantages of a school education, by dint of industry, perseverance, and unusual native ability, he wrought a miracle in the business world and lived a life of honor and usefulness that should be an inspiration not only to the millions of his own race, but has helped to (and our racial group the confidence and self-esteem of) him. He came, with his family from Texas many years ago, to Nashville, Tenn., where, with but meagre means and under most trying difficulties, he founded and labored to build up a great publishing house which now occupies practically an entire block on Second Avenue between Chestnut Street and Capital Avenue in the city of Nashville, Tenn. This publishing house prints and publishes anything from Sandy school leaflet to large books, magazines, and newspapers, prints and publishes practically all of the leaflets, books, pamphlets and other church and Sunday school literature used in Baptist churches throughout this country as well as for missionary work in foreign lands.

SPARTANSBURG, S. C., Sept. 2.—Clarence Wheeler was held over for General Sessions Court here last Thursday by Magistrate Jennings on a charge of assault, his victim being a prominent society matron here. The hearing before the magistrate was secret, only those directly interested in the case were permitted to attend the hearing. However, it is stated, that Wheeler went to the lady's house several weeks ago in the absence of her husband and made improper remarks to her, when she repulsed him. Wheeler is said to have caught hold of her. In the struggle which ensued the woman managed to get hold of her husband's razor which was lying on a table in the room and inflicted several deep gashes upon Wheeler's face and body and he Red. When her husband returned later in the day he found his wife living on the

HURTS ONLY DIRT
When Dr. J. W. H. Eason refused to resign with Marcus Garvey, he threw a monkey wrench into a clever coup attempted by the "Emperor". Critics say that Garvey's resignation was merely for the purpose of ridding himself of certain disturbing elements in his cabinet. He then planned to have himself re-elected with a new constitution, giving him absolute power.
Dr. Eason has been one of the chief disturbing elements in Garvey's cabinet. He has always vigorously opposed the czarlike methods of'Mad Moses'. Unless the breach is healed, Eason looms as new leader of the organization. He has a large personal following.
PREACHERS TURN VERBAL DEBATE TO FISTIC COMBAT
PREACHERS TURN VERBAL DEBATE TO FISTIC COMBAT
(Preston News Service.)
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Sept. 2.—Very often pleasant discussions turn out the mutual benefit of the participant, the organizers, knowledge gained, but occasionally they have the reverse effect. At a meeting of the Young Ministers' Alliance here last Tuesday night a dispute arose over ecclesiastical ethics, beginning as a mere absturse question, and finding its climax in an intensely personal exchange of opinions as well as physical efforts. The argument, it is said, arose over the ethics and propriety of the recent action of the organization in expelling one of its members. According to the police, Revs. L. Mallory and J. L. Mack got the worst of the argument. Both susists agreed that the arms, Rev. Mack had to be removed to the Bush Memorial Hospital where 23 stitches were taken to close the wounds.
Rev, Mr. Abe Guiden, who is alleged to have inflicted the wounds upon the two ministers, is said to have fled to parts unknown. The police are searching for him.

fested no desire to relinquish their respective offices.
**Garvey Gives His Reasons**
The delegates demanded that the president general publicly to name for quitting office, and his answer was:
"I refuse to associate any longer with a body of men on the executive council who are not honest enough to do business above board. I am tired of this plotting and intrigue."
A delegate from Chicago asked the president general publicly to name some members of the council who had been guilty of intrigue. "No one knows more about what I am alluding to than the delegates themselves," spoke up Garvey, which statement was applauded by a large number of his followers.
After considerable debate a motion was passed to accept the resignations. A few minutes later the convention was again excited over charges and counter-charges in which the president general and the "leader of American Negroes" were principals. In his report, Eason declared he had never functioned at the Black House in Washington because no such place has ever been provided by the association. He had taken the initiative, however, in renting the finest suite in the best hotel in Washington, where for a time he sought to maintain the dignity of his office.
Intended to Start Embassy
Intended to Start Embassy
Garvey told the delegates it had been his wholehearted intention to set up an embassy in the capital city, but after receiving reports and keeping under surveillance, he had decided it would be a crime to establish a Black House under the circumstances.
During his report the "leader of American Negroes" said: "I am no saint and when the president general is talking about saints he is not referring to me. I must confess that I love the women. When it comes to loving women I'm broke out with that. But when it comes to honesty, integrity and love of my people, I defy any one to lift an accusing finger at me."
Continuing, Eason said: "I claim to be the eminently fitted for the position of 'Leader of American Negroes.' When it comes to intelligently discussing Socrates or Shakespeare, I can do that; when it comes to talking about Frederick Douglas or Booker T. Washington, I can do that; I can go South and effectively discuss the race problem with the Southern white man, as I have done for this association."
IDLEWILD SEASON IS NEARING CLOSE
IDLEWILD SEASON IS NEARING CLOSE
Idlewild's season of 1922 is rapidly coming to a glorious end with a long list of festivities to mark its trail. The annual regatta with its group of beautifully bedecked boats gliding up to the dock of Eagles Nest where Mrs. Rose Wyse graciously played hostess to nearly 100 guests, was one of the most auspicious of years. The second wedding anniversary of the Idlewild Bridal couple of 1920, Dr. A. E. and Atty Violette Johnson celebrated on the spacious lawn of Birch Haven, was one of the events of the season and nearly two hundred guests paid their respects to the happy couple, whose cottage is said to be one of the most beautiful at Idlewild. A beach party was held at Bloomsbury furnished much aquatic sport to a very large gathering of notables from all over the country. A feature of the season has been the entertainment furnished by each state to its sister states, all lying to outdo the others in point of talent and entertainment. Illinois was well presented by several Illinoisians, among them Lottie Grady, Roxborough, who gave imitations of Bert Williams, Charlie Chaplin and George Walker.

WARN SENATE TO PASS BILL AT ONCE
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2. After passage of the Tariff Bill on August 19, the United States Senate took up for consideration on August 23 the Bonus Bill. On August 21, there appeared a special despatch in the New York Evening Post stating that the debate on the Bonus would probably be ended within ten days, and that a conference was to be held during the week of the twentieth between President Harding and leaders of both houses of the Congress to determine on the legislative program for the remainder of this session.
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has maintained from the very beginning that the Senate must pass the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill before this session of Congress adjourns, and particularly before the November elections. The Negro vote of the county is united on the matter of anti-lynching legislation as it has never been united on any other issue. That sentiment and especially the feeling of resentment because of the failure of Congress to act earlier must be kept alive. Our most potent and effective weapon is the vote, and that weapon must be used to the utmost.
PASSAGE OF BILL IS DEMANDED IN OHIO
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. 2.—Resolutions urging the immediate passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill were passed by the Ohio State Republican Convention at its meeting held in Columbus, Ohio, on August 22. The Ohio State Convention is the fourth Republican State Convention to pass strong resolutions endorsing the Dyer Bill and urging its immediate passage, according to an announcement made by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York.

John H. Wickliffe, well-known Chicago Orchestra leader and his famous Ginger band, will give a dance, Labor Day, from 2 p. m. to 1 a. m., in the Gemoinde Hall, 264 4th Street, Milwaukee, Wis.
The dance promises to be one of the best affairs that has ever been staged outside of Chicago for Chicagoans for some time as the famous Ginger band is well known in Illinois and Wisconsin for the "jazz" music that they produce.
The dance will be held under the management of Mr. John Wickliffe, general manager; Harry W. Gray, assistant manager; Ira W. Walker, assistant secretary; Chas W. Hillman, treasurer; Charles J. Levy and Benjamin Fields, committee of arrangements and Millard Nolden, floor manager.
Those who have never heard these boys play should not miss this treat. Remember the place and time. Gemoinde Hall, 264 4th Street, 2:00 p. m., September 4, Milwaukee, Wis.
MAN KILLED FOR THEFT

NASSAU, Fla., Sept. 2—Uriah Stirrup was shot and killed almost instantly here last week by Harry Morris, white, a special policeman, as Stirrup was attempting to escape arrest. The policeman claimed after the shooting that he was firing in the air to frighten Stirrup, who was running away, but he slipped and fell, his fall changing his aim, the bullet striking the fugitive. Stirrup was being arrested for the theft of a lawn mower.

U.S. IS CARING FOR DISABLED WAR VETERANS
There are approximately 108,000 disabled veterans receiving vocational training under the U. S. Veterans' Bureau. This training is afforded in technical schools, colleges, and universities as well as in business establishments, shops, and on farms. The object of this training is to overcome the vocational handicaps caused by service disabilities by training them in a new vocation whereby they are able to help others. The work is being carrier on under the direction of Col. Charles R. Forbes, director of the Veterans' Bureau.
Thousands Take Training
There are several thousand coloree ex-service men receiving training under the Veterans' Bureau. A large number of them are receiving training in such well-known educational institutions as the Tuskegee School in Alabama and the Hampton Institute in Virginia. At the Hampton Institute dis- tention is from Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina South Carolina and the District of Columbia are being given vocational training. Training is being given in this school in power plant management, automobile repairing, tailoring, business methods, agriculture, cabinet making, upholstering, machine work and carpentry. Hampton Institute is the first industrial school established in this country and was founded by Gen- eral Samuel Armstrong over 53 years ago. More students and former students of Hampton In- stitute enlisted in the service during the World War. A number of these service men became disabled.
In the Central Office of the Veterans' Bureau in Washington, Dr. J. R. A. Crossland, technical assistant, is in charge of the colored ex-service men receiving vocational training and he keeps in contact with these disabled soldiers in various technical institutions as well as those who are receiving practical training in shops and on farms. A number of these trainees have completed their training and are now in employment.
Trainees Successful
Essex Smith, a veteran from Isola, Miss., whose previous vocation was that of farm laborer, has been trained as a shoe repairer. His disability consists of the loss of a leg. He also took elementary subjects in addition to shoe repairing as he was illiterate at the time he entered training. He is now the owner and manager of a shoe repair shop at Marks, Miss., and according to reports forwarded to the Veterans' Bureau is now making excellent progress. He received his training at Tuskegee Institute. Another trainee who also received his Tuskegee Institute is Thomas Jones, whose vocation was that of a laborer. His education consisted of four years in a grade school. He entered Tuskegee Institute in September, 1919, with the employment objective of tailoring, including cleaning, pressing, repairing as well as taking elementary subjects. He was rehabilitated in May, 1922, and imme-

diately entered business for himself at West Point, Miss. Thomas Jones states in a letter to the vocational officer at Tuskegee Institute that his first month's work netted him $120.
Another trainee who is also making good is George Burkes of Woodville, Miss., whose previous vocational experience was that of a farm laborer. His education consisted of two years of grade school. He entered training at Tuskegee in September, 1919, with the objective of creamy worker and dairyman and he completed his course in May, 1922. This veteran is now employed with a large creamy company at Louisville, Ky. His record at Tuskegee Institute indicates that he is well qualified to earn a living at this vocation.
Another successful case of rehabilitation is Eugene Gibson, whose previous vocational experience was that of a farm laborer. He entered training in July, 1919, at Tuskegee Institute with the training objective as carpenter. He also took elementary subjects in addition to his trade work as he was practically illiterate. Since rehabilitation he has been employed as a carpenter by a contractor and is now receiving 30 cpm per hour for a 10-hour day. These cases mentioned are typical examples of what can be accomplished by conscientious students who take advantage of their vocational training. Not all of these colored ex-servants are in training, however, as are the members of them are receiving training in agriculture, commerce and the professions. A number of these trainees have been rehabilitated in agriculture and are now conducting their own farms or are employed as skilled farm laborers and dairymen.
There are 90 disabled men in training in the different trades at the Tuskagee Institute. One of the big problems has been in training a veteran who is lacking in the required educational qualifications. Many of the trainees who are taking up trades are practically illiterate. Tuskagee Institute requires that all regular students must have reached the 6th grade before they can begin trade or vocational training. Thus the Veterans' Bureau trainees due to the fact that they are accepted in this practically illiterate condition must be handled and grouped separately to be instructed along practical lines. They are also given a certain amount of elementary education and shop mathematics so as to meet the requirements of their trade.
Weekly Business Review
Edited by
Improvement along all lines, from all appearances will be very slow, but not as slow as the slow business paralysis that has made itself very visible and plainly felt, since the various strikes began.
This news at least should be very encouraging to the business interests now that the two big handicaps to business have been removed, and it is expected that a much more cheerful tone toward trade and industrial circles will be taken.
There is a large demand for common labor in the steel and tin plate mills in this immediate vicinity. The production of steel and its products is being seriously curtailed by labor and fuel conditions. Announcement was recently made by the U. S. Steel Corporation from its main offices that the board of directors had authorized a 20% increase in wages, which should have a tendency act as a magnet to the idle class.
General Advance in Food Prices
According to reports from the Department of Commerce recently food prices have advanced considerably over the past months, which will naturally make business better, and much better buying.
Slight increases are being noted by the retailers, which of course is a tip for them to buy in large quantities for future delivery. Prices on various commodities sold in grocery stores are advancing from week to week.
Bumper crops all over the country will start moving next month, and most assuredly this will cause money to be placed in circulation. Thus it can readily be seen that September will surpass all expectations and it is felt certain that the trend of the times have changed.

Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Clashbrook, 4820 Langley Avenue, entertained a number of friends at their residence August 24 in honor of many out-of-town visitors.

Professor Buckner's Congratulations Multinly
Prof. Oranto Buckner, who is well known to all South Siers, is being showered with congratulations by his many friends and acquaintances, since he has taken the beautiful and spacious dining room of the Idlewild hotel in charge.
It is really delightful for one to take his or her meals at the Idlewild since Professor Buckner has taken charge. If you ever take a meal at the Idlewild you will find that 'it's always the same'.
Everything in the dining room has been thoroughly cleaned and whats more you will always end it that way, and it really is worth while for one to visit this beautiful hostelry.
Professor Buckner is also a pianist and dancer, and operates his studio on the second floor of the Idlewild. His dancer class is one of the largest in the city and he is doing much to develop the intelligent or our young people. He teaches the latest fancy dances of the day.
Every Monday afternoon from 3 to 6 o'clock he has children's classes, and every Thursday evening from 8 to 12:30 he has adult classes.
Professor Buckner invites all to attend these classes.
On Monday, September 11, The Chicago Whip will award three prizes to the three best dancers of the children's group.
Start the week right—spend your Thursday evenings on the spacious, glassy-smooth floor to the irresistible warmness of nobody men—of贝莱拉斯 Johnson's Orchestra.
On Labor Day there will be a dance in this beautiful ballroom from 8:30 to 12:30 a.m. The public is invited to attend. Prizes will be given.

"STRUT MISS LIZZIE"
OPENS HERE SUNDAY
"STRUT MISS LIZZIE"
OPENS HERE SUNDAY
A new experience in theatricals is promised all those who attend the formal opening of the Auditorium theatre, Sunday night, Sept. 3, where "Strut Miss Lizzie" will be the attraction. The revue is a unique one because of fact that it represents the first colored production in the history of the American stage ever to be presented in a Broadway theatre, and because it represents entertainment of a most unique character.
"Strut Miss Lizzie" in fact, is made up of a score of novelties and includes such entertaining features as a comcasting chorus, a creole strutting ballet, the Negro Spirituals, the duality dancing of Charles Fredericks, the silhouette stepping, and the female baritone solos of Georgette Harve, international songstress just returned from a long concert tour.
"Strut Miss Lizzie" comes directly from Selwyn's Times Square theatre, where it delighted large audiences, for many months. Chicago is fortunate to have this production at the beginning of the theatrical season as previous bookings necessitated that the run be brought to an abrupt close. The company, however, remains intact and in honor of the opening, an augmented orchestra will accompany the company and will present extra acte novelties, under the direction of Joe Jordon, the well-known composer of "Lovin' Joe." There are incidentally a few song hits including "Strut Miss Lizzie" from which the play takes its name "Fan Miss Fannay." "Dear Old Southland," the Paul Whitman hit, the "Hula Exotic Dance" and "Brother-in-law Dan."
The particular stars, of course are Creamer and Layton, the most famous syncopating stars in the country, who are responsible for the song hits that have brought fame to Fanny Brice. Al Jolson, Sophie Tucker, and last, but not least, Gilda Gray, whose song number 14 was presented edition of the "Ziegfeld Follies" has startled New York audiences. Startling, in fact, is the wealth of music, dancing and comedy that makes "Strut Miss Lizzie" which is unquestionably one of the finest theatrical treats of the new season.
"LOADED DOOR"
"LOADED DOOR"
At the States Theatre, Sunday, September 3, Hoot Gibson and Gertrude Olmstead in "The Loaded Door." A white collar job in the city is a very different thing from running a cattle ranch along the Rio Grande.

"TOP OF THE WORLD"
At the Vendome Theatre, Sunday September 3, May McAvey in "The Top of New York." Here's beautiful May McAvey in a real picture. A great heart-interest drama of the roottops of New York.

The little brother is played wonderfully by Mickey Moore.

THE WORLD OF SPORTS
WILLS TOO MUCH FOR MR. TUTT
Fighting before many thousand people in the Brooklyn Baseball park on Tuesday Evening Harry Wills proved to the pugilistic world that when it comes to fighting that he is the cat's pawns, Tatjun Jackson was a get-up and had no chance at all. Wills body punched him into insensibility with a few well directed punches before the fight got warmed up. It is just as every one predicted Wills proved a superman.
Tut comes in first.
Tut smiling and wearing a heavy gray bath robe was the first to enter the ring, he smiled blantly at the crowd and waved his hand up in the stands to his admirers. He sat in the east end of the ring and fingered his robe nervously. Here comes Harry Wills towering over everybody else grimming evenly, waving and holding into the ring and elbimbing into the ring and barely noticed Tut. He was introduced as the heavy weight champion of the black fighters and the runner up of Jack Dempsey, white heavy weight champion.
When the Gong Rings.
As the gong tapped, Tut rushed in to the center of the ring and bewildered by the towering height of Wills seemed to be afraid but Harry forthwith punched in the mid rift and the right, such as it was, was on. There is not much more to tell. Wills knocked poor Jackson all over the ring and he could not stand the terrific body punishment. It cried in the third round with a stiff right to the kidneys.
Tut Out-classed.
Wills needs to fight some good men. Jackson was a false alarm. He was no giant and only weighed one hundred and eighty eight. He was not even a good second rate fighter and many of the rough and tumble fighters of the street could take his number. Wills is a great fighter, but the Jackson fight was no test of his ability. Bring on Dempsey.

THE NEXT EMANCIPATION
If there has not hitherto been a Socialist pamphlet especially fitted for circulation among Negroes, there is one now. It is a 32-page booklet, entitled, "The Next Emancipation," written by James Oneal, and published by The Emancipation Publishing Company, of New York City.
"The Next Emancipation," referred to in the pamphlet, is, of course, the coming emancipation from wage slavery. The pamphlet explains clearly just why the emancipation of the Negroes from chattel slavery did not solve the Negro problem. It is a labor problem—and the problem of Negro workers and white workers is one and the same problem.
The Socialist program of transferring the great industries from private ownership and operation to social ownership and operation—and forever abolishing the robbery of the many by the few—is explained.

SPORTIVELY PEAKING
By Al Monroe
Jack Dempsey, white heavyweight champion of the world, may yet be forced to show his hand in the case of the proposed championship battle with Harry Wills, the New Orleans battler. Dempsey has succeeded in dodging Wills for some time, even though it is a known fact that the bronze fighter is and has been for some time the most logical contender for a chance at the championship trophy.
First Jack drew the color line. Later he announced his supposed willingness to meet the black fighter, but argued that the public did not want the fight and that promoters knowing this would not offer a suitable prize to warrant his chancing the title later (Through force) he signed articles, but disusted the fair-minded fans with the announcement that everything was ready but that no suitable place could be found to stage the match. Now along comes the officials in grand old New York where they always do things, with the announcement that there will be absolutely no interference with the staging of the fight in the Polo Ground at New York. Those connected with the venture stand guard as the officers of the guarantee as large as that received by the fighter for his efforts with George Carpenter last summer.
At the same time Dempsey has agreed to take, on Jack Thompson a Negro fighter, in exhibition at Michigan City on Labor Day, thus showing that it is not the color of the man, but the man. It's your move, Dempsey. Let's go.

Sol Butler, the great athlete has turned in his card, his case is an interesting one, to be sure. Butler, the great jumper, was probably greater than any one ever had any idea that he was. Not so good as Gourdin at the broad jump, but surely better that any other, in these or any other parts for that matter. The trouble with Sol was that he was poorly handled. For instance Butler made his greatest lamps leaps in the trial meets where the records meant naught, the writer recalls one instance where we jumped 14 feet and do it with comparative care when the title meet came off Butler's jump to our surprise was recorded as a friction over 24 feet, five inches less than the trial jump we had witnessed. Remember, boy, you who aspire to higher accomplishments in athletics, good management is essential for good accomplishments. You tell um Al.
We note with pleasure that Edgar Brown of Indianapolis is the new "king" of the tennis world. Know what won for Edgar? No, we do. The answer is determination. Endurance ability, and a few other things so essential to such accomplishments were conspicuous, but after all the most important thing in the success of Edgar was DETERMINATION. It was not difficult to be likely to drift casually into over confidence. Of course Edgar realized the danger of overconfidence, and one would only have to talk to the star to realize this fact. Yes, we talked to Edgar and about the only thing he would ever say in regards to his chances was, "I am well aware of the fact that I am meeting great competition, but I am determined to win, if the things so essential to conditioning, playing the game to my best ability, and never giving up until the final ball has been returned for me. I think I have a fair chance to win, and I am pleased to announce to the world that Sir Edgar Brown is well deserving of the title and honors that he now enjoys. Let's go, AI."

The Detroit Baseball Clubs policies is the one of the Negro National League that we feel should be offered as an example, better yet it should be accepted as such by the other clubs. Tennie Blunt, the club president, should be commended without doubt, for he is surely doing his part, which constitutes 100 per cent more than any of the others are doing.
For some time we have been pounding away at the members of the Negro National League, in an effort to awaken them to the fact that a record of their games must be kept and sent to the various newspapers. We even spoke of the humiliation that this negligence was causing the various sport editors. On every hand we were being asked something concerning the activities of the league, and in real amutement style we were forced to say: dunno. Now we are pleased to announce to the reading public that the Detroit Club's activities were without were as nearly as possible correctly sent in to each of the various papers. Now it is not our intention to score any of the Moguls but we think it proper that our readers should know of the wonderful efforts that Mr. Blunt is making to make the league a success.
CHICAGOS VS. FOSTERS FOR SUNDAY
The famous Chicagos with Dick Kerr pitching will be the attraction at Schorling's Park, Sunday. The Chicagos and our clan have had several arguments already this season, and the Fosters came out on top in the majority of the cases, but according to the players the whole team is coming Sunday to and take us into camp in a way that will make them well remembered. Foster has his pitching staff primed for this game and judging from the way Dick Kerr has been twirling recently it should be a great game. Several additions have been made to the Chicagos since their last appearance here and it is believed that we will have considerable trouble to tipping the gang, but we should do it all right. The teams will line up as follows:

BASEBALL OUT DRAWS BULLS IN MEXICO
Rumors to the effect that base ball was supplanting bull fighting as a sport in the hearts of the Mexicans were substantiated in a report to the Department of Commerce from American Consul James B. Stewart at Chihuahua.
"Last Sunday's game," the report said, "was witnessed by nearly 5,000 spectators, an attendance, seldom, if ever, registered at the local ring in the palmy days of bull-fighting." The consul says that the popularity of the American national pastime in the Chihuahua district has necessitated the enlargement of ball grounds constructed only last spring. "And even with the additional space," Consul Stewart asserts, "there is usually an overflow crowd of at least two thousand people."
"If it is true that trade and influence follow the flag," it is equally true, the opinion of the reporting consul, "that they follow the 'national sport,' and no better means can be found to tear down the barriers of national prejudices and advance American prestige and commerce in Mexico than by the encouragement of base ball, a sport the 'Americanism' of which is undisputed." "Happily in this respect," Stewart says, "the State Government is lending its active support to the advancement of the game. At the recent opening of a new park, the governor of New York and the eight-piece military band unrushed the music for the occasion." "Quite naturally" continues the report, "the development of base ball in this territory has far more than sentiment value. It means more business, not only in balls and bats and peanuts and popcorn, but in a very wide range of American goods."

'GENERAL' LEROY GRANT, RUBE'S FIRST SACKER
C
Leroy "General" Grant who plays first for the American Giants, is one of the oldest men playing baseball, in fact most of the men who started out with the General are long since out of it and yet the old boy is still at it and playing the game of his life. There areew better first basemen in the game than this same General Grant. A sterling fielder, a dangerous hitter and as brainy a player as ever on as that game, the qualification that go with making Grant one of the truly greats of the game. Grant has slowed up some but is still good enough to answer the critical requirements of Rube Foster.
NEAR RIOT AS PYOTTS STALL FOR RAIN
The Pyotts, a local white club engaged in a bit of the now properly styled disgraceful stalling for rain in their game here with the Hildale team of Philadelphia last Thursday, and the players engaged in a bit of stuccum when the Hildale team tried to force the white boys to speed up the contest. The Pyotts also rewarded when a downpour stopped the contest in the 8th frame. Score:

DREW, FORMER SPRINTER
TO DON SPANGLES AGAIN
NEW YORK, Aug. 22—Howard Drew, Olympic spinner, who left the field of competition two years ago to take up the practice of law in Hartford, Conn., is once more to don his running cones, and, with Jack Kelleher try to get back into his old-time condition at the Connecticut State Armory and at Colt Park in Hartford. This announcement is causing much speculation among followers of athletes. In taking up training again, Drew says he is merely trying to improve his physical condition. There are those, however, who proactice to believe that the real object of his return to active sports is to train in W. Paddock it the latter decides to come East. Paddock has been criticized for not coming on from the coast to compete in this section of the country, but there are athletic officials who think he will be induced to make the trip and that Drew will be one of his opponents.
JACK WHITE HAS STABLE OF ALL-STARS
Jack White, retired world's champion lightweight among the colored battlers, is now an active person around the Dreamland A. C. at 3510 So. State St. Jack is doing little lightning now but the gross of his efforts is turned toward developing fighters. White now has under his tutelage Kid Simms, New Orleans, Kid Stone of St. Louis and Kid Ricks of Chicago all champions at their respective weights. Stone fights Emanual Topaz the sensational Mexican at the next show to be held at Tim Oneal's Club. Several offers have been recently made White for Siunms' services, some of which have been accepted. It is the plans of Jack to match Kid Simms with Cubit Trimble at the next show to be held at the Oneal Club
CHICAGO GIRL WINS TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIP
E. G. Brown Wins Men's Singles Title
The closing day for the National Tennis Tournament turned out to be a gala day for the Mid-Westerners. East was pitted against West in all events and the Westerners showed the Eastners that they could really play tennis in the West.
Miss Channels Captures the Bacon
Miss Isidore Channels, of Chicago
playing her second year of tournament
tennis, captured the ladies' net title and
in so doing displayed a bit of sterling
tennis that probably will never be repeated in these or any other parts for
that matter. In fact, we are inclined to think Miss Channels as she was going
in that match was ready to take on
Suzan Lengland the little player was in there fighting for dear life; even the most difficult services were comparatively easy for Miss Channels. She was great boys, great. Back to the tournament as a whole. In the semifinals Tally Holmes of Washington defeated Dr. O. B. Williams of Chicago, 6-4, 6-4; while E. G. Brown of Indianapolis, after losing the first set to S. Smith, came back strong and captured the next two.
In the final Brown showed what a driving game will do for a chop stroke game, while playing Tally Holmes (The Mighty). He took the first set, 7-5 and after losing the second set, 1-6, he came back strong in the third and trump them on it was simply a case of too brown on the courts for his opponent.
Perhaps the greatest come back ever staged in tennis was displayed by Miss Isidor Channels. After winning the first set in her match with Miss Wade of New York for the National Championship she lost the second, 6-4, and after a 10-minute rest came back for the final set. Miss Wade took the first four straight games and then Miss Channels won one. Miss Channels tried hard to win her service, but Miss Wade took it and made the count 5-1. It looked like certain death, but, oh boy! Many times Miss Wade had set point; but Miss Channels, by perseverance and a never-say-die-spirit bitterly and finally ended the score at five all. Again she had her service, but, Miss Channels took the next game after Miss Wade had the set point. Score six all Miss Channels after a long duce game won the seventh, and for the first time took the lead. Following this is history for Miss Channels easily won the eighth game and the National title. The score was 8-6. Score:
Men's singles: T. Holmes beat Dr B. M. Rheta of Baltimore, 6-2, 7-5 Dr. O. B. Williams beat T. Jones of New York, 6-2, 7-5. S. Smith of Washington beat Rev. W. W. Walker, 6-4-2, 6-1. E. G. Brown, Indianapolis beat Dr. Jamison of New York, 6-2-6-1. Semi-finals: T. Holmes beat Dr O. B. Williams, 6-4-4. E. G. Brown beat S. Smith, 5-7, 6-3-1. Final: E. G. Brown beat Tally Holmes, 7-5, 1-6, 6-4-1. Ladies' singles: Miss L. Wade beat Mrs. L. Junior (both of New York), 6-2, 6-3. Mrs. E. Conick beat Mrs. Salton (both of New York), 1-6, 6-3-4. Mrs. N. A. Crawford of New Jersey beat Mrs. B. Barnett, 6-1-2. Miss L Channels beat Miss E. Glass, 6-4-4-2 semi-finals: Miss L. Wade beat Miss E. Conick (both of New York), 6-1-6-0. Finals: Miss Isidore channels of Chicago defeated Miss L. Wade of New York, 6-2, 4-6, 8-6.
Dr. Williams and Miss Channels Win,
Dr. O. B. Williams and Miss L.
Channels both of "Chi" won the mixed dues
business championship, defeating J. Wil-
sonson and Miss N. A. Crawford, 6-2, 6-3.
High compliments were paid Dr. Williams
and Miss Channels for their good
sportsmanship in the course of Dr. M.
McCard's address in giving out the cup
Williams and Channels had Jones and
Miss Conick 5-0 in the third set and
the unpure gave a poor decision in
favor of Williams and Channels, which
meant the match, but they retrained it
and then Jones and Conick staged a
come back and won the next five games.
Williams and Channel won the set, how-
ever.

GIANTS TAME BULLDOGS IN GREAT TUSSLE
Having whipped the Bulldogs into a state of dizziness by applying the emaculate on Saturday, the American Giants experienced less trouble than the name would stand to indicate, muzzling the Bulldogs from Canton, Ohio, Sunday afternoon, before a fair-sized crowd.
It might have taken considerable effort for either side to produce a single marker but for a costly miscue on the part of Scott, hostile third baseman. Besides from a bit of punchless swatting that was more of the Poodle variety, the hostiles showed a bit of tenacity that was indeed characteristic of their name. The final score was: Dogs, 0; Tanners, 1.
Padrone, the Cuban portside, was on the hill-top for our clan, and we dace say he was never better. Exactly eleven Bulldogs took fruitful bites at the slants of the great finger; besides, his control was excellent, issuing only one base on balls, while a double was the only hit garned of his delivery.
Gillian, who toiled against our bunch early in the season, was selected to impose our efforts, and he, too, was good; in fact, he was too good to lose, especially the war he lost. Our hard-hitting bunch collected the slim total of five bingles of his delivery.
Great fielding on both sides was a feature of the well-played game, especially Myers at short, Agler at first and Scott at third, besides from the bad throw in the 3rd. The latter was "Hot chunkers" some of his stops were of the hair rising variety. A brief summary of how it was done:
1st inning: Siegfield and Agler whiffed. Myers flied to Reese. No hits, no runs. Giants: Giants' fieldtoss outed Gardner. Lyons fanned. Malaria walked, but was out on a neat trap—pitcher to first to second. No hits, no runs.
2nd inning: Scott flied to Lyons, Hartle ice, Padron to first. Hewitt fanned. Nothing, boys! Nothing. Giants: Beckwith entirely too easy for a home-run hitter. Scott to Agler. Williams doubled to leit, but was doubled a few seconds later when Danforth captured Dixon's foul fly on an attempted squeeze. One hit, no run. 3rd: Earnest fanned. Danforth popped to Lyons. Ditto for Gilliam, only the ball went to Bobby Williams. No hits. Almost a run. Giants: Scott tossed out Reece on a beautiful ball to Patterson, went to second on Padron's on pitcher to first. Gardner drew a difficult roll to Scott, who made a beautiful stop, but produced a bit of Rasperries in the form of a chunk to the yelling bleachers. Grant romped home with the only run of the contest. One hit, one run. One error, and a ball game. What say?
4th: Siegfeld whiffed for his second straight time. Ager rolled easily to Padrone. But, but, boy! Myers came near running us by sending a terrific smash (of wind) into Dixons waiting hands for a strike-out. Nun, num, num. Giannis' jaws fanned for his second bump in a maniac maniac unorthot got Malarcha's foul. Beckwith singled. Scott ended it by running out to Scott. Num, num.
---
5th: Padrone tossed out Scott. Hartle hit the wind. Malaria got Hewitt easily. Nun, boys, nun. Giants: Dixon out, third to first. Reece filed to Hartle. Grant and Padrone got there as well as the teams final hits by sending a part of singles to left. Gardner rolled easily to that pestful Scott. Two hits, no runs.
6th: Grant got Earnst's foul fly. Padrone tossed out Danforth. Williams tossed out Gilliam. Nun, boys. I told you so. Giants: Lyons flied to Hartle. Dittto for Malaria. Beckwight might have as well done the same, for he did little better, going out Scott to Agler.
7th: Siegler got the first hit off Padrone; some帮 to leap to for a pair of sacks. Agler out Beckwith to Grant, on sairice. Scott walked. Hartle gave Gardner a chance to enter the feature column by sending a terrific wallop to deep right that looked good for two or possibly three bases. Whew, some catch. One hit, no run, no errors. Giants: Williams, Dixon and Reece all out on flies. Hewitt to Scott to Agler. Quite easy, Bulldogs, uncle easy.
8th stanza: Some show. Hewitt struck out. Earnest on Lyons' error; he was trapped off base a few seconds later. Danforth popped to Williams. No hits, no runs, 1 error. Giants: Grant tried to hit over Hewitt's head, but hit into his hands instead. Scott: as per usual, tossed out Padrone. Myers was responsible for Gardner's death. Num. boys, num.
9th: Gilham out. Padrone to Agler. Siefield got hits and the teams second to the day by sending a scorer to hit the ball and. Myers gave us something to think about for a long time by biting the wind in Ditto style. Line-up:

Whiskey and Dope
Whiskey and Dope
Some say that Great Britain carefully and skillfully conducts and supervises the dope traffic in China, it being well known that the opium fumes keep the yellow men stupified and sluggish and in that condition they are easy prey for the exploiters who gather the wealth of the mysterious Orient while the natives look on dull-eyed and without emotion. As long as the Chinese people are fiends for dope and narcotics, just so long will they remain a backward, sluggish race out of tune with civilization, utterly demoralized, stultified in mind, while poisonous, stagnant blood courses thru their veins.
They say that the sun never sets on the British Empire, meaning that the British possessions are so scattered throuout the world that while daylight shines on one of its provinces that the sable shades of night engulf another. The Britishers are wise, heartless, mercenary and avaricious people who destroy the souls of men to filch from them their earthly treasures. Whiskey is used upon the native Africans and like slaves do they toil under the influence of British rum while the profits of their labor is gathered and garnered by the greedy Britisher. Tales told of Cape Coast, South Africa, and other regions reveal the diabolic scheme of the British profiteers. Whiskey and dope are favorite methods used to take the manhood out of men and reduce them to groveling, fawning beasts.
In America the millions of black men facing unequal odds, only shortly removed from slavery and the overseer's lash, find themselves tempted by the same infernal agencies—whiskey and dope. It seems that black people are the object of some silent, ominous force bent on destroying their morale. If the black men of this present generation allow themselves to become victims of mankind's dread enemies—dope and whiskey—they will find themselves reduced almost to the conditions of the Chinese and the Africans and the next generation and many generations to come will be cursed by their fathers' sins and they will remain hewers of wood and drawers of water.
Whether there is a deliberate plan to ruin the black man with whiskey and dope is not known, but the white man is more skilled in such machinations than he is given credit for and if the black man begins to threaten the Lordship of America it seems that whiskey and dope would be more terrible weapons of destruction than the crude and barbaric lynching rope.
If some of the "Invisible Emperors" and their inner circles have been seriously mapping out the course of white supremacy and everybody knows that they have, then they have thought of liquor and dope as some of their implements in working out their ideas. Black men can get more dope now than they ever could before in the history of this nation and they are granted more immunity in the violation of the National Prohibition Act than should be expected and every day we see bleary-eyed black men with shulking countenances shuffling along the great American thoroughfares soaked in dope and unbalanced with whiskey, utterly oblivious to great problems of the day.
Whiskey and dope are the arch enemies of mankind and let the black man beware and avoid the pitfalls that have been set for him by his enemies. Whiskey and dope mean slavery, murder and the auction block. Save our souls from these destroyers.
Mammy
Mammy
Will Rogers, the great comedian, when appearing in his last engagement in Chicago, starring in the Zeigfeld Frolics, brought a laugh to his audience when he announced in his inimical manner that no songs about Mammy were to be sung in his show and the house applauded loud and long. We have really sung about that old slavery character too long and it is to our best interest to forget her.
Mammy was the soul of servitude. She served long and faithfully, she has had her memory perpetuated for years and it is about time that they let poor old Mammy rest in peace for she has been dead lo these many years.
The quaint old character that nursed and loved the southern rebel has passed off the scene of activity; there are no more Mammies. We now have mothers of the new generation and they breathe a freer air than dear old Mammy did. We know that southerners miss Mammy but she has passed on and if there is to be any more singing to be done commemorating her, let the white people sing about it.
Emmett Scott declared that he was not crowned and knighted at the Garvey Convention. We are glad to hear this. So much fighting and fuming has been going on at this convention that we were fearful for Mr. Scott when we heard that he had been crowned. The police have been on hand to prevent further crowning. Garvey has resigned and the organization is in chaotic confusion. Our correspondent gives us the right dope—a good idea gone wrong.

HEALTH HINTS
By Dr. Troy Smith
URTICARIA.
Urticaria is known to the laymen as hives or nettlerash. Hives is a common disease in children and it may occur in adults. One of the main symptoms that accompanies this disease and the one that often scares mothers is the rash or "breaking out." This rash may appear all over the body. It takes the appearance of wheals, red elevations, that vary in size from a small sized pea to the size of a dime or quarter. These wheals are similar to those following the sting of a nettle, or those caused by the bite of insects, mosquitoes, or the irritation produced by rough underwear.
The other symptoms that accompany hives are more or less fever, quick pulse, dry skin, headache, pain at the pit of the stomach, and often irritation of the mucous membrane of the entire intestinal tract.
The cause of hives cannot be attributed to just one thing. Some observers have tried to place hives as a solely nervous condition, whereby the skin of certain individuals is sensitive to irritation. This sensitive skin can be tested by simply tracing on the skin lines, the course of which, in the space of a half a minute, redden and upon this reddened base white ridges or wheals quickly arise, so that in the course of two or three minutes the line of writing stands up in strong relief; at the end of half an hour the writing subsides and vanishes leaving hardly a trace of its presence.
While the sensitive skin may play an important role in the cause of hives another just as important role is the food, as there are certain substances that may act as excitants of the acute eruption. Shell-fish, oysters and lobsters are foods that often excite this trouble, yet pork, eggs, fruit, buckwheat, raspberries, strawberries, mushrooms, cucumbers, coffee, sour wines, and the generally harmless articles of diet in certain subjects are often accused. If any one or several of the above articles of diet cause hives they should be eliminated.
There are various other factors that are looked upon as the cause of hives. They may be mentioned, uric acid and bile in the blood; disordered digestion various disorders of the internal organs, mental anxiety and emotions of various kinds.
The usual plan of treatment for hives is: (1) remove all local irritants, general hygiene and most complete cleanliness being followed; (2) correct any digestive disorders and errors in diet; (3) use remedies to allay itching and improve the general health.
Question: I have had repeated attacks of tonsilitis and each attack is worse. What would you suggest for me to do?
Answer: The best thing for you to do is to have your tonsils removed. The best time to have it done is between the attacks as most cases fare better when the tonsils are removed in the absence of acute inflammation.

Roddey's Co-operative Stores in Memphis have failed. These stores were the pride of the black people and Mr. Bert Roddey, the founder, was the cynosure of all eyes because of his vision and aggressiveness. He was an ardent supporter of Major Moton and the National Negro Business League, yet when the hour of need came and heavy business depression came upon his institution Major Moton and the business league were powerless to come to his rescue. Suppose a reserve fund had been established, the Roddey stores would still be the pride of the black people. Here is a concrete case for the business men to consider. Fifteen stores in a city of over a hundred thousand black people and no institution or organization strong enough to tide them over disaster. Too bad.
In Chicago, politicians are priming themselves for the great November election and of course the office seekers are extremely polite at this season of the year. It strikes us that the black people in Chicago would be much sought after, pampered and petted if they were unknown factors, but like lambs being led to the slaughter they will be fooled by their idols. The black people are being forced, however, to do some independent thinking and voting and if they would make it a policy to split their ticket they would be surprised at the advantages that they would obtain.

BOOK CHAT, by Mary White Owington, Chairman of the Board of Directors, of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "Up Stream," by Ludwig Lewisohn. Published by Messrs. Boni and Liveright, New York City. Price $3.00. Postage 10c extra. "Up Stream" is called by its author "An American Chronicle." It discloses not Negro, but Jewish, discrimination, relating the life of a young Jew, born in Germany but coming, when eight years of age. His family settled in Charleston, South Carolina, where young Lewisohn went to school and college and where he first tasted, though only to a slight extent, race prejudice. He was not included in a college fraternity, and after graduation he was not permitted by the President of its Board to teach in a private school where his scholarship had led to his appointment. But he thought little of this. He had taken his Americanism very seriously, believing that America gave equal opportunity to all. With this belief in his heart he went to New York, studied at its chief university and prepared himself to teach English literature. When he had finished the work for his doctorate he was assured by the professor under whom he had done the most of his work that he had better give up his plan. "A recent experience has shown me," the professor wrote, "how hard it is for a man of Jewish birth to get a good position. I had always suspected that he had not known how widespread and strong it was. While we shall be glad to do anything we can for you, I cannot help feeling that the chances are going to be greatly against you."
"I sat in my boarding-house," Lewisoinn says, "playing with the letter, I seemed to have no feeling at all for the moment. By the light of a sunbeam that fell in I saw that the picture of my parents on the mantelpiece was very dusty. I got up and wiped the dust off carefully. Gradually an eerie loss of memory occurred. I was sitting in the kitchen with a bakery and, catching sight of myself in a mirror, noted with dull objectivity my dark hair, my melancholy eyes, my unmistakable Semitic nose.
An outcast. . . . A sentence arose in my mind which I have remembered and used ever since. So long as there is discrimination there is exile."
Lewisohn is very desirous that we should understand what this rebuff meant to him. It was not a matter of a young man out of a job. It was a spiritual thing. His psychical life was Aryan, through and through, and he was forbidden the entrance he desired into Aryan life.
One's first reaction to the book is of amazement that such comparatively slight discrimination should mean so much. Lewisohn was welcomed at the University in Charleston, his ability recognized, his friends cordial. What if, when he looked in the glass and saw his dark eyes, he had also seen a darkness of skin, and had found that when he set foot in the University he was told to take his place with the freight and the dogs. Compared to the ambitious colored youth of Charleston, of whom the writer never speaks, his lot was Paradise. But one should not judge from this standard. It is the sensitivity of the spirit, not the extent of the persecution, that counts; and the man who wrote "Up Stream" is a man of great sensitivity, one who writes with extraordinary beauty, a noble spirit loving the land of his adoption but learning to hate it for its hypocrisy.
It is worth while reading this story. I can think of no American writer, except Du Bois, who uses English with such power and yet with such rhythmic beauty. Ludwig Lewisohn is coming into his own, and his influence as an American must be kindly, in sympathy with those who struggle against discrimination. We need such people in the United States.

In last week's article, No.10, the matter of efficient management was discussed. Since the safety of any institution depends largely upon the alertness and ability of its managers, this phase was death with first. Besides Efficient Management, there are three factors concerning Safety which we shall discuss now: 1) Thiry-one years ago a law was passed that required every life insurance company organized on the Old Line Legal Reserve basis to deposit at least 100,000 with the state in which is was incorporated. This deposit acts as a reserve for the protection of the company's policyholders. Liberty Life is organized on the Old Line Legal reserve basis and it has deposited $100,000 with the state of Illinois.
2) Life Insurance Companies are as safe as it is humanly possible to make them. They know, from the law of averages, how many of their policyholders will die during the year. They know what the operating expense will be. They know these things because they are scientifically worked out. The law provides special reserves to meet these obligations, hence a certain portion of every premium paid in, is deducted for the reserve which will meet the particular obligation.
3) Life Insurance Companies cannot invest the huge sums of money that they accumulate in any project they choose. They are restricted by law and can only invest in Railroad Bonds, Municipal Bonds, First Mortgages and make loans for the building of homes up to at least 50 per cent of the value of the homes. Liberty Life has $100,000 invested in first mortgages on Negro Property.
Thus Liberty Life, as she works for the protection of manking, is amply fortified on all of these points. The public has realized the safety of this institution and over 1400 stockholders attest to the fact that Liberty Life Insurance Company is founded upon Public Confidence.
