The expression quoted herewith, from the Metamurg Chronicle, is typical rather than coincidental, so far as the newspapers are concerned. For some reason the editorial writers seem to have been interested in the subject of fair play, and are rosting at the hyperaccles in a fashion that shakes up the image to the people. Speaking with reference to any people, the rights in the light of the conspicuous attitude of the peace conference, the Chinese government, these American citizens are not morally denied their political rights; they are denied that protection of life without distinction based on race, THE HOUSTON INFORMER solo Cadman's "Al Dawning," which was very charismatically rendered, was a simple, simple song to Mendebossa's and a berry of beautiful maids entered, carrying the flowers, the leaves, the blue, who so graced the occasion with their life-lifelong choosen for their fairy-life porpoise.

In effect, they are calling attention to the human need that the Portent and Fifth Amendments to the federal constitution are virtually dead letters. They have argued that the proposed leagues of nations are to insure justice to all the peoples of the earth, and they have argued that new citizens are not to be blamed for their appeal to what they suppose to be an all-powerful natural organization. Other cases are doing equally the same thing with reference to their own particular problems and injustices. They delegate at Paris to hear a body of their fellow-citizens appealing to the league of nations for protection. They can scarcely escape the conviction that reform, like charity, should begin at home and that the guarding the life and liberties of our host of Negro citizens of the Southern concern. This, A. D. Baker said: "That kind of sentiment can not swing in the air very long without hitting something." HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, JUNE 28, 1919. Is Watermelon To Be Our Only Reward For Great Service In Democracy's Martial Conflict? Is Watermelon To Be Our Only Reward For Great Service In Democracy's Martial Conflict? Considering the patroltion shown by the Negroes in the war and the apache record they made, Fate was decidedly unkind to them in the war, watermelon crop, which greatly curtailed the supply on Juneenth. There were some meadows, but the price was high and they were not nearly plentiful enough for such an occasion as this. Every Negro underwater was rewarded with a watermelon on Juneenth for his individual use. The above article is a short editorial which appeared in Sunday's Houston Post, one of the South's leading white daily newspapers. Because of its editorial position against lynching and for sanitary environments for the black man and a few other things, our race has been want to regard the Post as being friendly to the race and in view of said belief the Post enjoys a wide circulation among colored citizens in this community. But the above utterance, emanating from the source that it does, shows the average white Southerner's idea of what our race deserves for its unparalleled and unprecedented record in the late world war. Lest the Post and others, whose thought tanks are operating thusly, pursue the wrong course of reasoning and arrive at the improper conclusion, The Informer, true to its name and reputation, will "get them told—nothing else." When President Wilson pre-claimed the battle cry—"Son America's entrance into the do- can soldiers would be with a watermelon" for their patriotic services upon theanguinary and shell-scarred battlefields of France. The black man responded to the call, firstly, because he was an American citizen; secondly, because he knew that the world could not be made and maintained safe for democracy without at least bursting, asunder some of the fetters that bound his race in "democratic" America. To some it might appear that the black man was motivated by a selfish purpose; and if he were, it redounds more to his credit than his discredit. A close examination and careful and unbiased analysis of the motive that prompted each entrant into the late martial holocaust will reveal the truth, viz: that selfishness (national perpetuity, peace, prosperity, commercial and political supremacy, freedom and liberty) was the actuating principle and major motive power. If one doubts the veracity of this statement, he has but to refer to the wrangling, squabbling and playing for points of vantage pursued by the belligerents at the peace table. These nations fought, contended and strove with might and main for the enthrancement of democracy as the political religion of the civilized national units and from no other nation has it even been suggested that the troops be "rewarded with a watermelon." Is this to be the black man's only compensation for routing and repelling the ice in No Man's Land? Is this (a watermelon) to be the only kind of reception accorded him for offering himself a ransom for the many? We fought for freedom and liberty — not watermelons; and no watermelon has ever been grown, from the Garden of Eden to present scientific agriculture, that will cheat us of our fruits of victory) not fruits to be eaten, but privileges, rights and opportunities to be enjoyed and exercised as other free American citizens. The black man and watermelons are not so indissolubly linked together, nor does there exist any greater affinity between him and said huscible fruit than between other racial groups and the "red meat." A glance at white restaurants, cafes and parlors will demonstrate this fact most conclusively and convincingly. There has been an attempt to cheat the black man out of his laurels won upon the shot-riden and gas-infected fields of carnage "over there," but even if this record were purchasable, a watermelon has not sufficient monetary value, despite its high price and scarcity, to consummate the deal. In the place of watermelons the black man wants and demands justice, equality before the law, education, decent wages, living conditions, suffrage rights and privileges, abolition of lynching, race prejudice, oppression, jim-crowism, segregation, discrimination, disfranchisement, other heathenish, hellish and Hur isdeeds and practices and the disposition to regard and look upon him as a "nigger", chattel, slave or thing. In short, he wants a man's chances—nothing more, nothing less. He wants no special privileges, nor does he seek a fain and square deal because of his color, but because of his citizen or America, freely of this much-discussed and widely-heralded democracy and he will get his own watermelons. The Informer expresses the opinion of every right-thinking colored citizen. It is the race's voice and medium in this section of the moral vineyard and it does not want to be misunder- The Houston Informer's Telephone Number is Preston 1243 Office is Located in Room 208 807 1-2 Prairie Ave. Taborian Temple SUMMARY OF CONTEST TO DATE.

Some members of the other race have formed the editor an agitator, radical advocate of social asia; as being ahead of his time and dangerous. Let the editor say in all frankness and candor, that if his contensions for the eradication and elimination of un- American undemocratic, un- Christian and uncivilized practices and customs stamp him as an agitator, he pleads guilty of being an agitator of the 33rd degree. If his pleas for a squarus and fair deal for the race—"for all men up, no man down"—brand him as an advocate of social equality, he willingly faces the accusation and demands that his accusers bring forth their evidence and submit same before the fair and impartial tribunal of enlightened public opinion. The race is tired of ridicule and jest at its expense in the white press. Take our credible Emanuel Day celebration in this city June 19th and then see how the white papers endeavored to ridicule the race. At Emanuel Park, when our local celebration was staged, a big dinner was tendered the ex-slaves and ex-service men in uniform. A photographer for the Houston Chronicle did not think enough of the patriotic street pageant or the dinner to photograph either, but secured a bunch of colored youths, put - slices of watermelon in their hands and was adjusting his camera to take the picture when a brave Why do you want such a picture for the paper? Simply to ridicule and poke fun at the race. If he really wanted a picture of the race for his paper, why not anap some of the substantial evidences of race progress, such as Lincoln Theatre, Andrew's grocery, Herbert's drug store, People's pharmacy, Orgen barber shop, American Mutual Benefit Association, two brick buildings owned by U. B. F. and S. M. T., one by K. and D. of T. and the many beautiful and well-appointed homes of colored Houstonians? Then that Houston Press, in reporting the parade, spoke of the goddess of liberty as being a "dusky queen," when the girl in question was nearer a cream than she was a "high brown," but it is the average Southern newspaper's idea that matters pertaining to the black man has no commercial value, unless it is ridicule, jest and such stuff. But the Post's remarks were editorial utterances, coming, presumably, from the editor-in-chief. And yet Houston is thickly populated with race people who delight in parading the fact that I take the—"naming a white daily), knowing at the time that whatever is said is either ridicule or playing up some crime of the race. The time has arrived for us to stop countening and encourage such "stuff" and insist upon a creditable writeup or nothing at all. But in suggesting that "every Negro soldier who fought in France should have been rewarded with a watermelon," the Post is off its trolley and far from its base, and the sooner it gets back to both the better it will be for all concerned. The black soldier fought for democracy—the universality of the fatherhood of God and brotherhood of man—and not for a little measly, musky watermelon. C. F.

The method of review will largely be determined by the grade of the school. The material which shows love to the Heavenly Father; the junior teacher, that which teaches about God; the inter-religious teacher; the senior and adult teacher, the fundamentals of faith and practice. As illustrative of the method for the senior and adult note the following facts: all things are the cause of all things. The universe came into being by the will and act of the divine personality, but not a evolution. All things continue to be by the preserving power of God. This great being is the Father of all things. God is the creator of all things, but our mind undivided affection and trust him for food and raiment. Lesson 11. Jesus, the son of God and our mother, the one who gave our birth. Out of God's love he was given, and "whoover believeth on him shall not perish, but have ever lived." Lesson 11. Jesus Christ rose from the dead. His resurrection guarantees: 1. The Integrity of the Scriptures (Pent. 1:1). 2. The power of the divine person (Pent. 1:1). 8. The sufficiency of Christ's stoning sacrifices (Rom. 4, 12). 9. The sufficiency of the believer (L. Cor. 15, 209). 10. Lesson IV. on the day of Pentecost 11. Lesson V. on the day of the disciples baptizing them into the one body of which Christ is the head. 12. Lesson V. on the special quality of the disciples to be baptized. 13. Lesson V. God created man in his Lesson V. God created man in his likeness and image and placed him at the head of creation. Lesson VI. The fall of Adam has passed upon all men, bringing death, physical and spiritual, and a srow in its train. Lesson VII. Lost men are saved absolutely by God's grace. His grace which was turned into those. They were for mercy through Jesus Christ shall be saved. Lesson IX. It is only through faith that man can please. God, through faith the mightiest victories have been won, and through faith whom faith can rest is Jesus Christ. Lesson X. The grand incentive to obedience is love to God. Calling Christ Lord will not answer for disobedience and will not teachings is building upon the solid rock. Such building can never be destroyed by flood or storm. Is it possible to pray in being is not to attract man's attention, to but have fellowship with God. God is pleased with pleasure in prayer. Lesson XII. The greatest of the Gods is not to shed a Goddess of God shed abroad in our hearts. Love is not a mere sentiment or emotion, but a mighty dynamic which transforms the life, expressing itself to service to men. It adds forever. The Duty of Today. It is our business, under the guidance of the holy spirit, to do what we can, with a deep sense of our responsibility, to make the world over into a place of justice, freedom, peace and good will. To bring men into those relationships with Christ which make for a Christian character is and must always be a priority for followers. The world is not, in our opinion, a vessel shipwreck toward the sands of final shipwreck; nor can our Laurs and consciences be satisfied with the rescue for a few, while it leaves the great majority to destruction. What God will do tomorrow or herself is for him to determine. Our business is in our power, into the image of the kingdom of Christ—Gregationalist. Staying Away From Church. The habit of abstaining one's cell from the Sunday services of the church is one that some seem to acquire very easily. It is a habit if be shunned. Sometimes it is occasioned by stock piles of coins or a grudge against a member, some resentment at a fellow member's fault, is the occasion.

THE REINS MUST BE TIGHTENED. The recent death of an eleven-year-old colored girl, whose lifeless body was discovered on a vacant lot in First Ward last Saturday morning, brings home to our race a most timely warning, as well as a sad and sorrowful message. It is to be regretted that young men are extant in this community, or any community, who would commit such a rash and brutal act. It is alleged that the young man criminally assaulted this child and then choked her to death. Whether there is any truth to the criminal assault part of the story The Informer is unable to say now. But one thing is certain and shut: our home life is too late and lax. Too many of our youths are roaming the streets at night, both escorted and unescorted, when they ought to be at home and in bed. Our parents are given too much to Lilliputian tactics, the practice of permitting their offspring to boss them and do as they please. Too little attention is paid to the children of the race, consequently they are "going to the dogs," having a "good time" and dying premature deaths, either by disease or as murder victims. There was a time when children were considered and treated as children until they were grown and oftimes married. In the good old days our parents would not permit their daughters to go out, even with a male escort, unless the parents or older chaperons were right there. And even with such rigid supervision, chaperonage and monitoring may girls went down in disgrace. It is no strange matter to see boys and girls of the race, ranging from eight to fifteen years of age, roaming and parading the streets at night and indulging in all kinds of practices. The girls are generally men-hunting; while the boys divide their time between women-hunting, stealing, shooting craps and other mean acts. As long as this condition exists, we are going to produce a race of criminals, parasites, whores and social dregs. There must be a tightening of the reins; a closing of the gap. Our parents must cut out "good times" and fast life and utilize some of their energy in developing, rearing and training their ragtime music; the lure of the sordid and sensual passions; the children into noble men and women. The glare of city lights; the charm and fascination of jazz and aping after other racial groups and the subsequent neglect of our family life—are sapping the very life out of the race and causing us much travail, misery and woe. No race is stronger than its children and the children are large; what the parents permit them to be. The colored race has gone hog-wild over "spreading joy"; it is grabbing the shadow and missing the substance. Viewed from one angle, the race is committing suicide and that at a rapid rate and pace. Are we inoculated with the germs of racial degeneracy, degradation and moral deprivation? Are we going to continue to fill the penal and eleemosynary institutions with prisoners and inmates? Are we content and satisfied to produce a race of moral weaklings? Do we consider ourselves exempt from the inexorable and immutable laws of nature? Does the history of other racial units mean anything to us? Then let us call our children out of the streets; place them within our domestic walls; throw around them the proper safeguards, environments and protection and defy any one to attempt to desecrate or defile the sanctity of our homes or violate the fundamental rules and regulations of good and decent society. We must remove the premium now placed upon immorality and classify ourselves by drawing and maintaining at the cost of our lives the line of demarration. Race building is a stupendously serious and sacred task and is an enviable privilege. But unless we put a Nelson-hold upon our children; unless we are willing to pay the price of success; unless we are determined that our children shall not boss and bully us; unless we have fully made up our minds that a return to the old landmark is impera- THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, JUNE 28, 1919.

Parents, there is no mistake about it, the reins must be tightened and the gap closed. 19TH PARADE VICTIM OF PREJUDICE. Eve the first time in the city's history the alopecitizenization of this community were refused a permit to route their Jueneenth parade over either Travis or Main Street. Ever since the editor of The Informer has been residing in Houston, the emancipation day parade has always been routed over Main Street, en route to Emancipation Park. This year the police department, after waiting until the 18th to issue the permit, refused to allow the parade to traverse either Main or Travis Street, but shunted it from Milam (on Franklin) to San Jacinto, a route never before employed by any parade. When our men were leaving for the training camps, Main Street and all other streets were turned over to them, regardless of the hour. Every time a small detachment of white soldiers reaches the city, Main Street can be used for a parade. Every little jumped up affair, staged locally by the whites, can traverse Main Street, but now comes the police department and refuses to permit us to parade even on Travis Street. Prejudice manifests itself in various shapes and forms, but our ace is always the victim. Perhaps there was a "nigger in the woodpile" (we used the word "nigger" advised), who had a hidden hand in the deal and if such is the case, he should be read out of the race. We pay taxes here and constitute no small part of Houston's citizenry, being about one-third or one-fourth of the entire population; and yet can not stage a parade over our own Main Street. There is hardly a one-horse town in the South that would have been guilty of such a trick. The argument was set up that sufficient officers were not available, but that is all buncombe. We traversed Main Street last year and were led by the same colored patrolmen who led, then were led by the same colored patrolmen who held at the same hour, hence that "heavy traffic" the parade was held at the same hour. The parade by all means could have used Travis Street, where quite a number of race men operate places of business, but we were black and that meant shunting us off to a back and out-of-way street. They got by with it this time, but The Inforner wishes to "gather" or "threaten" that no more back streets for our parades, June-tenth or otherwise. We are citizens of Houston and as such shall not be discriminated against in a small matter as a parade route. Scandalous GET THE SWATTER JIM, MURRY A HEM A FLY HORRORS!

UNCLE SAM ASKS BUSINESS MEN TO ADVERTISE The United States Department of Labor has launched an advertising campaign to promote more local and national advertising among the business and commercial organizations of the country, in order to "stimulate business" and bring it back to "its pre-war status." The department plans and object: "It is the desire of the department of labor to stimulate business by suggesting to present advertisers that they increase their space, and to prospective advertisers that they bring their plans to a head and start advertising immediately." Fastest and quickest way to bring business to its pre-war basis is to overcome the general anxiety in the minds of many people at present. Advertising will do this. "We would like to see more real-world advertising, and we believe the press of the country and yourselves will appreciate the fostering of such success by the movement." --- WASHINGTON GOSSIP Soldiers' Settlement Bill May Be Enacted Early WASHINGTON—The soldiers settlement bill is believed to be a certain of passage early. This legislation is designed to provide rural homes for men who have served in the military in war. Principal features of the legislation are: Discharged soldiers militarily; Discharged soldiers $4 a day in the development of public lands; those who desire may obtain allotment of the recalled land; Recalled land later, with liberal terms of payment; those who take over, such land may bound to 2000 uplift for development of their land. T The bill will carry authorisations totaling $500,000 and will empower the secretary of the interior to acquire lands by purchase, or gift, in addition to using public lands. Projects will be developed in every state where the secretary of the interior has sufficient areas to form community centers. The secretary of the interior also will be required to put the lands acquired for use for agriculture and cultivation. This work will involve irrigation in arid territory, drainage in swamps, stump mining and levelling in cut-over areas and general restoration, including clearing, in erosion control and erosion control. Roads necessary to provide access to the projects will be built. Cash will be advanced to help the soldier-settler get started. As Good New Fish in the Sea as Ever Were Caught As Good New Fish in the Sea as Ever Were Caught DATA concerning sea fish having good food value, but not generally known or stitified, are being gathered by P. W. Partridge of the United States bureau of fisheries, who is in New Orleans to make a study of the drum fish off the coast of that state. Mr. Partridge has spent six weeks along the coast from Canaan to New York and Pass Christian to capturing fishing conditions and intends to continue his round of the coast to Galveston. BRUNY FUN MORE GOOD EATING "It is surprising how many varieties of good fish are practically unused as food," said Mr. Partridge. "The government is anxious to get a fish tax on the market, but poorest consumers of fish in the world — principally because the maturity of the housewives do not know how to make that food palatable. Last winter the government sent me out with demonstrators who night, the women of several cities of the country how to prepare fish property. The results were astonishing. The women informed by the fish department that their business, had doubled after our visit. "All along the gulf there is an enormous supply of drum fish which makes splendid eating, but is not caught for the market. These fish vary in weight from 18 to 45 pounds when mature. The largest one over caught tipped the scales at 146 pounds. The government hopes that this fish will be sold to the public. There are other kinds, which would supply great amounts of food if the public got to know how delicious they are." Porto Rico, Needing Schools, Asks Uncle Sam's Aid Porto Rico, Needing Schools, Asks Uncle Sam's Aid PORTO RICO, it appears, needs education and wants it. A petition requesting federal aid has come before congress. It is signed by Arthur Kager, governor, and Paul G. Miller, commissioner of education. It asks that a law be passed to allow the Porto Rico BOC to be approved a year for 20 years, and sets forth the following facts among others: That according to the federal education law, the Porto Rico BOC will be illiteracy in Porto Rico was 85%; that the present estimated percentage of adult illiteracy in 54.

During a recent parade in New York, a hydro-siphon flew up and down Fifth avenue, over the heads of a crowd packed into the streets like cobblestones, at an elevation estimated to be not more than 600 feet. HEY WHERE'S YOUR LICENSE? Every aviator knows that flying at low operations is the most dangerous operation, and had caused that flyer to come down, he could not have chosen a safe handout. He was smashed into the crowd, killing and malning many. The aviator was called to the attention of the joint army and navy board an acoustic cognizance, which has control of all aircraft licenses for civilians. It was discovered that the reckless behavior of the pilot had no license. To protect the public and aircraft flyers is the object of the aeronautic board. Licenses will be issued only to responsible persons who have qualified as pilots. The government is not opposed to civilian flying, but it requires that the first take out a pilot's license to operate an airplane, seaplanet or a balloon. These licenses are issued without cost. Anyone destring a pilot's license must have an acoustic cognizance and navy board an acoustic cognizance, building *D_A* and *B* after *A*. Biggest War Baby: Bureau of War Risk Insurance Biggest War Baby: Bureau of War Risk Insurance WHILE other bureaus created for war purposes are dwindling or being abolished, the bureau of war risk insurance has grown to be the largest of all government departments and the largest enterprise of its kind in the world. It has recently moved into new and permanent quarters in a big building which was originally intended for Washington. MAR NJSI INSURANCE The governmen't war baby is with us to stay for a long time. In fact, it will not cost our government; for its obligations will be discharged until the last dependent of an American soldier killed in the war and some and some of those dependents have been there. They will give the war risk bureau a mission in life for 75 to 100 years. If we do not have another war during that time, the big business of the bureau for a generation is going to be handling the permanent insurance policies for the men who have been in the service, which have now been authorized by congress. This means simply that any man who took on insurance as a career may continue that insurer, and the government will be driving by converting the different type. The insurance will be less expensive than that issued by private firms because the government will bear the administrative expense. Old age insurance for government employees is being urged in consultation with the proposed reform of the civil services. INDEPENDENCE HEIGHTS DEPT. The Old Reliable Cut Rate Grocery and Meat Market.

It is the one way we are able to play upon the credibility of the electorate, taking advantage of a strenuous war-time condition and such uncertainties as the plans of an administration. But in the midst of all we have come, drawing near to the ideal which makes a great people and a prosperous service credit or their assistance in founding this government upon a most progressive compaign form—provenance and constructive development are now among the records of the city to be embroiled in them. The drains is now under way and plausa are on for its completion. It is to be hoped the plan true.

The initial meeting of the city council was held June 29, preceding the conducting of the new mayor. O. J. McCormick was born with an air of business, which shows a desire to put things right. All books belonging to the city were called in for the meeting of the 23rd. The council, after some discussion, H. Horton and H. S. Dotson as auditors. It is the desire of the administration to find out the financial status of the city, and to determine that it would be the policy of his administration to collect all taxes. It was discussed in the council that now being constructed be left until the job is completed and when the city would be able to deal with the damage that is now being constructed be free dirt.

WORLD SERIES HERO BACK WITH PIRATES Babe Adams, Veteran Pitcher, Will Try to Come Back. After Being Dropped by Pittsburgh in 1817, He Drifted into Western League and Then to Kansas City—Made Good. Charles R. ("Babe") Adams, a hero of the 1900 world series, will try to come back with the Pittsburgh Penguins this season and win both old and a real wrestler as pitchers go. It was in 1916 that Adams took the togae with the Penguins and was pitching for that year was more or less a joke for his won two games and succeeded in losing anne more before Burney Drewes made up his pitching form. In 1917 Adams drifted into the Western league, signed up with Jack Holland at Hutchinson and staged a come back win 20 senses of ball for the Hutchinson teams and lost 15, and he was rated as one of the hardest working pitches in the league, which has always been many a hard-hitting youngster, and many a crafty old-timer who is on his way back. With the Hutchinson club won him a trial with John Gansel at Kansas City last season and during the abbreviated pennant race in which the abbreviated pennant赛 won the pennant Adams won three for the Kansas City club. This feat won him his chance to try a real conch shell with the Penguins this season and are predicting that he will make good. Adams embellished his name in baseball's hall of fame back in 1909 when Charles B. ("Babb") Adama. he played the role of hero of the world's series between Pittsburgh and Detroit. He pitched the first game for the Giants against Georgetown and Atlanta. He pitched the second game for Bill Donovan had beaten Willis and Mullin had trimmed Leafle, while Summers in between two games. Adams came back to the mound with the count of two all, and Pittsburgh had won the game. Detroit to Detroit to four. Mullin came back in the sixth game for Detroit and won it, and Adams won his third game and the figures in the Figures 8 to 0 in the final contest.

Superstition is the average player from his belief in the uncleany world of magic that could argue Buck Weaver out of a case of Edith Gleason, for instance. After what has happened to this eminent shine ball and knuckle ball player, more securely intruded in the beliefs that away their activities and influence the action of their managers, writes George II, Robbins in Chicago News. "Gleason is Superstition." "Biddle, I want you to pitch the first game of the year," said Kid Gleason. "The 'did not, not, not,' replied Clothea. "Why not—that's the argument!" assented the Kid. Then this famed finger unfolded the most amazing story that the Kid had heard in many a day. Gleason, just had to listen to Edith. "You see Kid, when I’ve pitched an opener I had a rotten season," exclaimed the honor of being able toinate the honor of being asked to hurt the game and all that, but I don’t care for the honor—I want to win. When I’ve pitched the opener I season was restructured to be a this amusing request. The first would have been to give a ball player a nice little cuff, reminding him paternity of his indiscretion with the kid and Gleason recalled that a game won the second day of the season was just one captured on opening day. "You win, Eddie!" replied this veteran conditioner of athletes. That is why the presson dope of Cicotte's pitching the opener all went away. Williams hurried the first game and Cicotte's skeptical about the superstition business, but was eager to find out whether Cicotte was working on a lucky hand and whether she was labeling on a lucky tip. Victorian in 1817 Season. As the dope ran, Cicotte failed to pitch the opener and a lucky hand what happened. He literally fitted through the circuit with his mixed assortment of slab wares like a shell through a shack of arrows. He was the first to win the ball rolling in the American league for the Sox and he had a mediocre season. Cicotte pitched the opener for former Manager Rowland. One's memory doesn't need to be refreshed to recall what happened last year. Cicotte was not running out being scored behind his slabbing. It was counted among his unlucky years. With a small portion of the 1919 season reared off, Cicotte looks to be invincible on the hill. His delivery seems identical with that of 1917, when he won the league flag for Chicago. Clectte today is the most feared pitcher in the American league just as he was in 1917 when he didn't pitch the first game for the Chicago Box. PRAISE FOR RUBE WADDELL With Brain of Chrity Matewheon or Alexander He Would Have Been Greatest of Pitchers. Connie Mack says that, had Rubie Waddell been gifted with the cray brain of a Mathewson or an Alexander, his name would be going down the ages as the greatest pitcher baseball has ever seen. Those who recall Waddell will just about agree with Connie, too. Bezdek Is Fussy Manager The one-time genial Hago Berde has become the fussiest manager in the National league.

THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, JUNE 28, 1919 Thought by Other Members of Boston Red Sox to Have Made Team Possible Pennant Winner. Dave Shae is thought by the other, members of the team to have made the team the best team in the year. Dave stepped into Jack Barrery's shoes and filled them very acceptably. Sheen is not as young as he used to be, and he is not being accorded the major league recognition it is now conceded that he de- serves. He knocked around in the minors, for quite a while. He even tried his Dave Shean, hand at managing the Providence team of the International league. And he was a good manager. He had been up in the National league once with Boston and turned back. These years ago he came up again with Cleveland. DIAMOND NOTES There are 1,800 baseball players on organized tennis reserve lists. Little Rock has released Pitcher Harry Covekesle. He could not come back. The Cardinals on paper appear capable of better ball than they have been playing. Rewett Scott of the Boston Red Sox has been doing some heavy batting of late. Murray Umpire was bombarded with cushions at Minneapolis. Better cushions than pop bottles. When it comes to making two and three-base hits, the American league has a great advantage on the National. J. P. Austin, the veteran of the St. Louis Brown, is back on third base and leadman in the batting order. THE AMERICAN THEATRE 611 San Felipe Street B.

CHAPTER V₄ - Continued. Her gymnasties would ordinarily have been with her brother in any day, but she was not. This was a dispute between Bayard and love. It was sarcophagic for him to go on reading the Times when his brother was a guest of things to discuss. He heard her discuss them as through a morning paper darkly, and he made the wrong answer and finally wrote it in the face, gasped, and attached the first of his breakfast like a train-catcher at a lunch-counter. It was that he heard Leli well, that to become his all-night "warm-up." Bayard stared at her sharply, but spoke softly enough. "Wry, I don't know, honey. There ought to be plenty for you to do. You should throw your hand at the office." "All right," sighed Lefla. "I'll be brave and worry through some淋, tilloon, with my sweet new sister's help. But we'll come down and lunch you up. When time do you go out to lunchon, By?" Bayard's answer was discouraging: "This is one of the three days a week when the heads of the firm always lunch at Delmonico's. Wouldn't I shouldn't lunch with you today?" got to go down and earn some more to buy pretty things for my beauty." This brightened her in a way he had before, and she looked joyful. He yoked his gloom left her face like a cloud blushed from before the sun. She dazzled him with her smile. "Oh, I know what to do! Daphne my mother and I can go shopping." Bayard's heart flopped. He wondered what on earth more there was to buy. She had to buy her boy. She had come to the marriage with her troussanne only partly completed, on account of the basic of the dress she bought in Europe. She had made his honeymoon anxious by her rapacity for beautiful things to wear. And now she was ready to buy their old trunks bulging and new trunks bought abrad bulging, and had paid a thumping sum at the custom trunks bought abrad bulging, and had paid a thumping sum at the custom trunks bought abrad bulging, and she was still eager to go shopping. What he wanted to do was to quit buying for a while and sell something. He did not say this. Love was slipping away. He had not get removed the sugar stick that stops the tongue from criticism. Lella grew more cheerful at a terrifying rate: "Go on to your old house and your mother and I will, go on a spice in the shop. Then well all have a banquet tonight and a theater, and it were not too tired, a supper, and you were not tired, a supper, and one of those dancing places afterward. I'll buy the theater tickets myself. I get good ones. I want to save you as much as possible along to your office and don't worry about us. But you must miss me—frightfully! Will you?" He wowed that he would, and he meant it. She was a most missible coworker. He rose to leave, but she stopped him to say, "What play shall we see?" This was the occasion for elaborate dressing and the trumpeting his wrath and bolting. He graciously released him only to call him back to say that he had forgotten his newspaper. "Don't you want to read it?" he asked. "I can get another at the subway station." She shook her head: "There's nothing interesting in the papers. I'm just from Paris, and I know more about the fashion industry." Bayard shuddered a little, nip. The times were epic. Immoral progress was being made as never before: ancient depopulations were turning into rebellious groups, one another; constitutions, labor problems, life problems, all social institutions, were being ripped up and remade, all the relations of masters and students, all the modern children wives, animals. Yet Laila said there was nothing in the paper! Revolutionary news meant to her a change in the fashion in Paris, but it was a change in the way she whistle a tritone nearer the bust or a trifle nearer the hips, the release of the ankles from light skirts. The great joy of the dressmaker is the decision of the dreammaker that after years of continue clinging more and more closely to the human outline they want to be, she can finally possibly. Leila was interested vitally in what women would wear and what they would leave off, and grandly intented at which. Bayard hesitated, again to his hand, gapped at the hour and the minute, kissed Leila's mother and rushed her into his mother and rushed for the door. Leila put out her arms again. "I must heist her," she cried, and as he entered her car and whipped, "and first, too, and all the between." Bayard was a business man from his predecessors. He blushed to arrive and set a bad example to his strong raphers and clocks. It was his creed light, hardanger, stay longest there, and end every day with the next day. Light, hardanger, stay part of the next month's calendar. There was need for concentration in his business, for he had brought back from Europe a sense of great disaster in the American environment, no encouragement in American business, no instinctive feeling that the worst must be over because it had lingered so long. CHAPTER VII. It was a time when everybody was cutting down appropriation, reducing waste, and making all paying the penalty of former extravagances by present economies. Rich people were positively boastful of their penuries. They created a list of things for Daphne's trousseau with the ruthlessness of an auditing committee. They cut out this and that, decided that this gown could be omitted and that the trousseau could be laid in a cheaper quality, these paranoids were not really necessary, those stockings need not be so numerous at all once. And yet even Mrs. Kip admitted that the whole array was far beyond the reach of her husband's means. Still she insisted that he could provide a partial trousseau at least. She herself was not interested in "things" for ten years if necessary. Daphne, however, was haunted by the vision of her father's harrowed, money-hungry face. her mother M. In the Window on a Dummy With No Head, No Feet, and a White Satin Hat, she seemed to Cry Aloud to Daphne. reminded her that it was his last chance to do anything for her, she retreated. "Yes, and it's my last chance to do anything for him." She must either go shabby, or cause acute distress to one of both of the men that were degest of all in the house. She must either have a burden of debt as a faraway tribute to her father, or she must bring with her a burden of debt as her daughter. "No!" she cried, with a duded-in THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, JUNE 28, 1919. patient stalk at the Godwin list. "Clay will have to take me just an I." He will have his diamond ring wished on me. Her defence was not convincing. Her mother protested: "Her mother will have to have you on. He'll never know what you have on. It's the guests at the wedding—and your old friends and the children think we're poor and that your father is marrying you off cheap, do you?" My mother finally to go and make yourself really poor in order to keep from seeming poor, especially when you never feel anyone with the community of a native spendthrift, tried to soothe the fever of the robot: "We go being around, anyway, we don't want anything from Howard Gardner away from Paris before I had finished shopping. There are several things I need." The three women set forth they joined the patriculated army pouring from all the house like a leeves on them. They reached the altering place where the famous Dudlin like an amble Maghistophile, offered to buy in exchange for robes of angel cloth. In the window, on a dummy, with no head, no feet, and a large eaht bust, that second was my head to Daphne: "I belong to you and you belong to me! Fill me with your flesh and I will be your friend. That second the three form women understood the message instantly. They looked at one another, then, without a word, enclosed in silence. Lela was known to Dudhil and he greeted her with an extravagant impudence that murdered Mie. Kup: "Get right out of my theater. How do you come here after letting somebody else build your tussleman? Explained and explained and he pretended to be mobilized as he pretended to have been limited. Having thus made the field his own, he turned toward the geysers and narrowed his eyes as if she were asking to be a model, and sighed: "Oh, what a narrow escape! Dame jumped and ran from what? "That gown in the window, that Lunvin that was born for you. You must be a piece of furniture, a piece of cemented taffeta and tulle." The woman, astounded by his intuition, nodded and breathed hard like referring to the one that belonged to Dapha, and he ordered her to get into it at once. He answered: "I'm afraid of the price. How much is it, please?" "Don't talk of money!" Dutil stormed. "I hate it! Let's see the gown on you. He called one of his helpers to help Miss Kip into this gown, Marla." A mournful-eyed led Dapha into a dressing room and acted as maid. Dapha stepped out of her street and she flanked it. If someone was going from chrysalis to butterfly, Marla was murmuring with homage as she flanked it. Mother and led her to the dressing room, Mrs. Kip fell on it and she hurried back a seraphic changings. Dapha was no longer a seraphic changings and bewitching. If she could own that gown her mother would be repaid for all her pangs from trawl on. She would accept the gown as aance royalty on her behalf. Daphne looked about for Lella, but Lella was gone. She reappeared at the more delicious than Daphne's a tuple of peach-blow tulle cappulet up with pink rosebuds and hanging from a more elaborate form of a bokeh formed a foke on the hips. And there was a narrow petitcoff of peach-pink satin. It was as if peach had been the only material she used. Perfect happiness is said to need a bit of horror to make it complete. The happiness of the two girls did not lack that element. The price of their glory was the price of making the coat with anxieties. Said Dutilt: "To Mrs Kip Ill tell it do dirt cheap for three hundred and a half dollars, but I will Kip has on I'll give away for—umma, well—yay the same price." They were sickened. But Daphne was suffering one of those gueses of mania that rule people. Her soul of scouts clamored to wear that very gown that very afterward, to take it off would hurt like laying. Lella had the same feeling. Her up-armed gown with grown Dutih took play on them: "Look here," he said. "I'll make the price two times, but you are such visions in them," he said, but you are such visions in them" a la hare, reduction, but it left the price still mountain high. "I want something to wear tomorrow afternoon," Lelia said. "I've got to go to a tea and my sister has to go to Daphne had not heard of the tea, but she wanted somewhere to go in." Dutih smiled: "Nothing easier. Take the dudes with you or let me send them. Where are you living now?" Dutih said. "The trouble is, Mr. Dutih, that I'm just back from Paris and I haven't a cenet, and I miss Klip is buying her troubles more already than she expected to." Dutih note to the bait that he had slipped. Why not open a account with她 expected to. Take the gowns along and pay me when you like." Lelia mumbled, "I should have to Daphne said, "My father wouldn't 19yo to start on a account" me to start an account. "Charge it to your sister's account, then, and pay her." "You say you would charge them both to me!" said Lella. "Certainly," said Dutilt. "Send them, then," said Lella, with imperial brevity. "Send them," Dutilt smiled. "You shall have them after afternoon." by the war. I've just remembered a marvellous design for Palm Fire. Let me show it to you. "He said, 'I'll call him' and 'mum' and 'Daphne' and she hurried out of the internal paradise. They dawled on, down the avenue, passing at Window after window, and came to the promenant. At Window Joy in her new gown was turning to remembrance. She was realizing that that circumstance needed to be changed. She was in a hat of the same era as the gown. She was stunned by her reverence by the sudden gown of Lella? Here he lars. Torn Dumme coming just before. "I met him last sight," said Daphne. "Tot did? Did he say he knew me?" He said that Bardane sold you from Lella. Lella was flattered, but loyal: "Nonesense. I never was to steal him. I never loved him of course. It wouldn't have done any good if I had. Had Tom never stole, I suppose," said Daphne. "How easily stole, I suppose," said Daphne. "No, not rich at all, as rich people go. But he was mentioned the other day in the will of an old amu he used to be nice to. He nice to everybody, he hardheaded to, great Daphne with hardheaded coolness. She was greatly astet "He's Awfully Rich, I Suppose," Said Daphne. up to be remembered. She presented him to her mother, who was completely upset at having to meet so famous an architect right out on the street. She was furious at the forcible price of Raphael's new dress. "Will you have a bite of lunch with me?" asked Danna. "We were just going to have some homework," she said. "Mr. Raphael would object" and said. As they turned out into Forty-fourth street and entered Bimonton's the carriage man called Dunne pedestrian as he was called by name, and seemed to happier for him than the man in the carriage, who bowed him in his name, and Dunne thanked him by name. The hat-boy greeted him by name and did not give him a smile, and as if a long-waited guest of honor had not ask his guest what they would have told him in a low voice what beqt to have. Dunne replied, All luxury was due to her. Fine clothes, fine foods on fine dishes, fine horses, motors, furnitures, everything, gave her an exaltation of soul like the thrill of a New York was heaven on earth. The streets were buildings of paper, and the people angels—good angels, not evil angels—made but still angels. She wanted to be an angel. Among the squads of men and women, the squads of men and women made out Sheila Kemble again, in a mode of elderly women in manifest importance. "Not that Sheila Kemble?" Daphne Mice. Kip was aghast. Dupain was electrified. She surprised Diane with another question: "To you told Miss Kembe was married?" Kembe was intrigued, and lovers her husband. But she don't stand idle. She's just come back to the a small city. Daphne fired one more question point-blank: "Do you think I could succeed on the stage?" "Well if you ever dude that you want to try it, let me know, and I can probably force somebody to give you a "Till remember that," said Daphne, darkly, and nothing since while the lunches run its course. The women got rid of Tom Dune gracefully. Leila asked him to put him to work to trickle as well and still much more quickly. They department store, and Leila started another account.

"I dropped into a dropped into this shock so great that it shook from her a great of sympathy for her husband." His father father! And but worked so hard and been so careful." Bayard came home late for dinner and in a state of grave excitement. The great Cowper wholesale establishment had fallen like a steal, a steep cliff. He rattled the windows of Bayard's firm; had stopped the banks from granting an important loan. Bayard spent a bad day downtown. The news of his death, he tried to dispense encouragement to the three women who could not quite realise what all the excitement was about. A chain of wholesale stores would be of any particular importance to them. Bayard was just saying: "I tell you, Lollin honey, I was the wise boy when I was a child of wholesale stores and I good iron. Thank the Lord I was not loaded up with debt. I've kept clear of that."

The find made quite an impression on the minds of the finders, and was to whether the shades of the departed legionaries still averted around in the vicinity of their last resting place, or a man ought to be on his guard when out late at night. The sum of 60 francs disappeared from the counter of a nearby X. M. C. A. hut. The captain of this outfit doesn't know a great deal about the history of his has learned a lot about it in the field. He called his outfit together one night in the X. hut and told them of the discoveries outlined the history and characteristics of the old Romana. "Boye," he said, "there was one thing else, and that was a thief. If the鬼s of those old fellows who were buried up there on the hill should have been 60 francs in his picket, I don't know just what would happen. I'm going to put my hat here on the table and turn just what the guilty man will know what to do." There was quite a shuffling of feet and milling around in the hut, and I was able to turn on the lights again and looked on the hut he found not only the 60 france, but 80 more, a few a odd number for good measure—Sare and Ritton. Felt Need of Change Charles was staying in the country where playmates were few. So long ago, he was a child with hiself with a little neighbor girl some years younger than himself, but on being invited to play with an older brother, he suddenly abandoned his former playmate regardless of all her attempts to help him, by his mother for his neglect of Julia he disguised remarked, "Oh mother, I'll go back to Jula some day but I will stay with her." Builder of Pagoda. The Burman, if he acquires wealth, must also acquire merit—"Katha—" and this he must be instructed to set out on a marble slab how much money he spend on building it. He likes people to address him as "Builder of a Pagoda," and he will say to his wife be a builder of a pagoda." Two Discoveries. A long time ago, a keen observer of human nature put on record his discursive observations of a patient leaving the doorway of a bank without looking one way and walking the other, until the value of this observer was just used for patient observation, is that one never seen a small boy and a brass band performing a Christmas Science Monitor.
