WELLS AGREES WITH WALLAS Kaleidoscopic Political Changes Make Forecast of What Forces Shall Rule in Another Year Impossible. London, Feb. 23—(Crusader Service)—Modern civilization is falling in ruins, is the belief of Professor Graham Wallas, British classical scholar and economist lecturer at London university and the latest of the intellectuals to cast a gloomy picture of civilization's future. Fifteen hundred years ago, says Wallas, ancient civilization was visibly falling in ruin. Today history is repeating itself. "Alaric had just sacked Rome; Atilla was a boy of 17, dreaming of still worse diseases that he was to inflict upon the western world, and the vandals were pressing on toward the destruction of civilization in North Africa," Wallas said in speaking of the year 423. "All the structure of government on which the ancient world as organized by Rome had depended had come to an end. Roman law was no longer valid. All habits, all loyalties, all ideals, all philosophies, all religions, of the ancient world were passing away, and men had asked themselves at that time if the mind of man was strong and wise enough to keep the reconstruction of the world under control or whether disaster must come." "In 1923," he declared, "a problem of more than equal magnitude is before us. The material world—the world that slowly and painfully created itself upon the fragments of the Roman civilization—is falling in ruins. "No one knows what is government in China; no one knows what will be the government a year hence in Russia; no one knows what will be the government in Germany, in Italy or in Spain. Right across, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, right across the great Eurasian continent, the old system has fallen in ruins, and the danger we have to face is greater and more intense than the danger with which the world was confronted at the fall of ancient civilization." For one reason the danger is greater today, according to Professor Wallas, because our social system is definitely more complex. A few farmers amidst the clearings of forests, a handful of shepherds out on the plains, have given way to millions of industrialized and concentrated factory workers. The professor continued: "The very existence of the present population of the Eurasian continent depends upon organization means to reduce the population to something like what it was at the fall of the ancient world." "BLACK DESPERADO" PROVES TO BE WHITE BOY BLACKENED High School Boy Used Charcoal to Make Himself Appear Colored and Thus Ward Off Suspicion. LOOTED GASOLINE STATIONS Gets Off With $22.00—Battled With Police Until Shot Dead, When His Identity Is Disclosed. Kansas City, Feb. 23—(Crusader Service)—His face smeared with charcoal and his body clothed in overalls and a jumper, Ray C. Bishop, 19, white, student and member of the Central High School Football Squad, turned bandit here and robbed two gasoline filling stations of approximately $22, and was shot to death in a gun battle with a policeman after wounding the latter. Lawrence W. Ferguson, 25, chauffeur at the Sheffield Police Station, wounded by the youth, is in the General Hospital with a bullet in his groin. He will recover. Through tear-dimmed eyes, the gray haired mother, Mrs. William H. Bishop, THE MONITOR looked at the black smudged face of her son two hours after the tragedy. "I can't believe it is my boy," she said brokenly. "He was too good for that." The news came to Otto Dubach, principal of Central High School as a shock. His voice grew husky as he narrated the virtues of young Bishop, whom he characterized as "a splendid type of young manhood, rugged, bashful, athletic, studious and loved by his companions." Yet on the desk of the Sergeant at the Sheffield Police Station lies a .32 calibre revolver taken from the lad's pocket, a jumper and a pair of overalls, the former stained with blood, which he wore when he fell—and $22 in bills. And at the General Hospital, Ferguson, bullet through his right groin and the red streak of another across his chest, testifies between groans that Bishop fired first. COLORED ARMY BAND PLAYS FOR MEXICAN CARNIVAI Nogales, Sonora, Mexico, Feb. 23—(Pacific News Bureau)—The famous Band of the 25th United States Infantry was recently chosen to furnish the music for the great Mardi Gras carnival, parade and masque ball held in the Mexican custom house in Nogales, the week of February 11th.

HE "PASSED" FOR COLORED Wilbur Rickman, 30 Years Old. Flies Petition in Court to Have Himself Declared White Noblesville, Ind., Feb. 23—(Ledger News Service)—Interest in this city is centered around the domestic affairs of the Rickmans, Jennie and Wilbur. The whole trouble lies in the fact that Mrs. Rickman, the wife, discovered that her husband is a white man. She immediately entered suit for divorce on the grounds that she was not aware of his claims to white parentage until recently. The Rickmans have been married twelve years and have three or four children. Wilbur Rickman has always passed as a Negro heretofore, but he has a petition now pending in court to have himself declared "white." He is 30 years old and claims that until recently he has been unable to prove his parentage, although he has a mother living in this city married to a colored man. It is claimed that his mother denies being a white woman, but it is generally thought however, that she is white. Wilbur Rickman has a brother in this city who is also married to a colored woman. FILM REFLECTIONS NOT ALLOWED ACROSS BORDER Mexico City, Mexico, Feb. 23- (Pacific News Bureau)—Information received by the Government indicates a recrudescence of the campaign of misrepresentation and defamation of Mexicans and other dark skinned races by use of the motion picture. Among those reflecting directly upon the Mexicans are the film "La Praedaro Rajo" (The Red Country) now showing in France; and "Mexico Barbaro" (Barbarian Mexico) showing in New York. The scenes in these productions are calumnious and defamatory, and a libel and slander upon the Mexican Government and people. The Interior and Treasury Departments have been instructed not to permit any pictures of this or similar nature to be shown in Mexico. Ft. Huachuca, Ariz., Feb. 23—(Pacific News Service)—Colonel Edwin B. Winans, commander of the famous 10th United States Cavalry for the past two years, has recently been commissioned a general and transferred to the Southern District. Col. Meyers, who in the early days at the Post served as Captain, will succeed Colonel Winans. With the promotion and transfer of Col. Winans, and the recent retirement of Lieut-Col. (Chaplain) Scott, the famous Tenth lost two of its most beloved commanders.

Pres. R. R. Rockett of the Rockett Production Company, of Hollywood, is in the city filming the scenes in the Imperial Valley Cotton MET MANY DELIGHTFUL PEOPLE An Introduction to Two Hard Working Uplifters of Mankind, Bishop Demby of Little Rock and Bishop Delaney of North Carolina I left Omaha Thursday morning February 1, over the Missouri Pacific enroute to Arkansas to fill engagements which the Rt. Rev. E. Thomas Demby, D. D., Bishop Suffragan of Arkansas and the Province of the Southwest, had made for me at Little Rock, Hot Springs and Pine Bluff. These engagements included a sermon on the night of the Feast of the Purification, Friday, February 2, at St. Phillip's Church, Little Rock; three services and two sermons at St. Mary's Church, Sunday, February 4, Hot Springs, and a week's Mission at St. Andrew's, Pine Bluff. For the information of the general reader it may not be amiss to make a few explanations, for it will naturally be questioned by some, probably many, "Who is Bishop Demby?" "What is a Bishop Suffragan?" "What is meant Mrs. E. Thomas Demby by a Week's Mission?" This being true, explanations are in order. Bishop Demby is one of two men of our race who have been elected by the Episcopal Church for work among our group in certain dioceses of the South. The other is the Rt. Rev. Henry Beard Delaney, Bishop Suffragan of South Carolina. The former lives at Little Rock; the latter at Raleigh, N. C. Bishop Demby was born in Delaware and reared in Philadelphia. His literary training was received at Howard University and Wilberforce Uni- fields for the Abraham Lincoln photoplay now being produced. SOLDIER INHERITS $25,000 Ft. Huachuca, Ariz., Feb. 23rd—(Pacific News Bureau)—John Paul Jones, 1st class private of the 10th United States Cavalry stationed here, has been notified by a reliable firm of New York attorneys that he has inher- versity. He taught for some years in Canada. He was confirmed by the late Bishop Spaulding of Colorado, and subsequently went to Tennessee where he was ordained to the diaconae and pristhood by Bishop Gallor. The greater portion of his ministry was spent in Tennessee, although he fulfilled successful pastorates in Illinois, Missouri and Florida. He was elected Bishop Suffragan for Colored work by the Diocesan Council of Arkansas early in 1918, and his election being duly confirmed by the Bishops and Standing Committees of the American Episcopal Church, as cononically provided, he was consecrated in All Saints' Church, St. Louis, on the Feast of St. Michael and All Angels, September 29, 1918. He is a scholarly and Godly man; well poised, wise and quietly aggressive. He has gone modestly to work in a particularly difficult field, where he has had virtually to "make bricks without straw"—for since the Episcopal Church is comparatively weak among white people in the South, it goes without saying that it is vastly weaker among colored people. He is laying strong foundations. His work is pioneer work, but of the kind that will enure. He is sending up no skyrockets, but is working patiently, persistently at his God-given task and is making his influence felt. Like most men who have wrought nobly for God and humanity, Bishop Demby frankly admits that he owes a vast deal to his wife, who in every way is fitted to be and has proven herself a most worthy helpmeet. She has so good bravely by his side throughout the years of their married life and has toiled and sacrificed with him for the good of her race. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, a graduate of Oberlin college and a graduate nurse from Freedman's hospital and accustomed to the freedom of the North, it was no easy task for this woman of culture as refinement to submit to the many humiliating conditions to which our group are subjected in the South. But she bravely accepted these conditions, and as teacher and trained nurse, in school and mission field, she has worked heart and soul with her husband even to the impairment of her health. As a bishop's wife, she does not spare herself, but continues active in good works. It was therefore a great privilege and pleasure for me to be able to keep a promise made to Bihsop Demby last October that I would go to Arkansas 'sometime before Lent to preach a ited the sum of $25,000, $16,000 in cash and $3,000 in real estate, from the estate of a deceased uncle. Altho but 18 years of age, Private Jones has considered that the best investment possible with his newly acquired wealth, is the acquisition of an education. Altho his application to enter Harvard University has been granted, he has been further informed at the privileges of the Freshman dormitory will be denied him. Mission" at such place as he deemed best. And so I went to "Preach a Week's Mission". This brings us to the question, "What is a week's Mission?" or "Preaching a Mission"? Well, it corresponds to what most of the Christian bodies call a revival. Call it a revival then, with this perhaps as the chief difference, laying more emphasis upon teaching the fundamental doctrines to which the Episcopal Church holds, than the appeal to the emotions which the average revival stresses. Such a "Mission" generally runs one or two weeks. The one I held at St. Andrew's Pine Bluff, was for one week and consisted of services daily: Holy Communion at 8:30 a.m., special intercessions at noon, and the evening service, with sermon and instructions and answering questions at 7:45. It was then to fill this and other engagements that I left Omaha for The Rt. Rev. E. Thomas Demby, D. D. Arkansas February 1, over "The Rainbow Special", one of the crack trains of the Missouri Pacific. I wanted to tell you of some interesting incidents, going and coming, before writing of the interesting things I saw and of some of the people I met during my trip to Arkansas, but I deemed it best to tell you something of the good friends upon whose invitation I went to Arkansas. I want you to know them. You can't help but like them, nor refrain from offering up a prayer that God may give them wisdom, courage and strength to carry on the important work they are doing for our people, who are one wherever they may dwell. Next week then, my subject will be "Incidents of the Journey, Going and Coming." Look for it. Whole Number 398 MRS. CHARLES McCLURE SHOOTS HER HUSBAND Well Known Business People Engage in Quarrel Which May Have Fatal Result. Mrs. Effie McClure, wife of Charles McClure, is in custody and her husband is in a precarious condition at the Lord Lister hospital with a bullet in his chest alleged to have been fired by Mrs. McClure at their Confectionery store, 2208 North Twenty-fourth St. Thursday afternoon. It is said that Mrs. McClure charged her husband with infidelity and was about to leave him. An express man had come for her clothing. It is said a quarrel ensued when McClure would not permit her to take her belongings. It is said that McClure drew a knife on his wife and she shot him. He was rushed to Lord Lister hospital where his condition is critical. The McClures have been industrious and prominent people in business circles, having conducted for some time a popular confectionery store on North Twenty-fourth street. Much of the success of the business was due to Mrs. McClure's untiring efforts. A large circle of friends keenly regret this tragic happening. DELEGATION SEES GOVERNOR BRYAN ABOUT BOXING BOUTS DELEGATION SEES GOVERNOR BRYAN ABOUT BOXING BOUTS Committee Cordially Received by State Executive Who Shows Himself Conversant With Rights of Citizens. FAVORS FREE COMPETITION Bryan Knows Something About Boxing Himself as Well as Other Sports and Says the Best Man Should Win. Tuesday a delegation of Omaha citizens, consisting of Henry W. Black, president of the Omaha branch of the N. A. A. C. P.; Drs. C. H. and John A. Singleton, the well-known dentists; A. Count Wilkinson, editor of The New Era, and the Rev. John Albert Williams, rector of St. Philip's Episcopal church and editor of The Monitor, went to Lincoln, where an interview had been arranged by Representative Robert R. Strelow, with Governor Bryan to protest against the unconstitutional and arbitrary rule of the Nebraska boxing commission against mixed bouts in this state between white and colored boxers. The delegation, accompanied by Mr. Strelow, was most courteously and cordially received by Governor Bryan, who had had a most strenuous day. Mr. Black in brief and well-chosen words placed by the governor the ground of objection to the ruling as a violation of both state and federal constitution and the Civil Rights Bill of Nebraska and the limitation of our privileges as competitors in this field. It was made plain to Governor Bryan that the committee was not particularly interested in boxing bouts, but vitally concerned in the violation of the constitutional rights underlying the ruling. The original petition signed by more than 500 representative citizens of Omaha, of both races, requesting Governor McKelvie to rescind the ruling, was shown Governor Bryan. Governor Bryan said there was no question in his mind but that the committee's contention as to the unconstitutionality of the ruling was absolutely correct and that it violated both the spirit and the letter of the Civil Rights Bill. He advised the committee that he would take suitable action in the matter. Under his recommendation that several overlapping and unnecessary heads of various departments saddled upon Nebraska by Governor MrKelvie's Code Bill be discharged and their duties combined with other departments where they rightfully belong, the present secretary of the boxing commission, who has boasted that as long as he is in charge there will be no mixed bouts between "colored and white boxers" in Nebraska, although he has permitted mixed bouts between Indians and whites, Japanese and whites and other race varieties, will doubtless go. This may relieve the situation without further action. Governor Bryan, who by the way can handle the gloves quite dexterously himself, told the committee that a true sportsman bars nobody and that he was personally in favor of full and free competition in the field of sport as elsewhere and let the best man or the best horse win. The governor made an excellent impression upon the committee. GROWING THANK YOU WOMEN OPPOSED TO SENATOR CAPPER'S MARRIAGE MEASURE National Federation Presents Solid Front Against Objectionable Provision in Proposed Federal Bill. PUTS RACE WITH DEFECTIVES Sweeps Away Legal Recourse Which Colored Women Now Have in Several States Against White Seducers. Jacksonville, Fla., Feb. 23—(By A. N. P.)—Notwithstanding Senator Capper's declaimer of authorship and agreement to attend to the withdrawal of the prohibition of marriage between blacks and whites in the proposed National Marriage Law introduced by him in the United States Senate a short while since, the colored women of the country, under the guidance of the President of the National Association of Colored Women, Miss Halle Q. Brown, have issued a vigorous protest against the contemplated bit of legislation. To Fight it to the Death This determination was revealed here a few days since by Miss Brown herself who happens to be sojourning in this section since her summary dismissal from the faculty staff of Wilberforce University by Bishop Jones, the connectional head of that great Negro school. "Let no woman rest," declares the militant president of the women's national association, "until we have driven out of the minds of the American people that the Negro woman is something less than human and but little more than an animal subject to the caluminations of the evil minded and the abuse of the instinctively brutal. We are going to fight this thing to the death." Miss Brown has issued a proclamation to the colored women of the country which reads: "To the presidents of States and officers of the National Association of Colored Women, Attention:" Disgrace to Women There has been introduced in the Senate by Senator Arthur Capper and in the House by Congressman Louis Fairfield, of Indiana, a Federal marriage and divorce bill, prohibiting, among other things, the marriage of epileptics, insanes, feebleminded, those afflicted with communicative diseases and of blacks and whites. Aside from the fact that the measure classifies Colored American Citizens with defectives, such a law would put government sanction upon the defenseless position which colored women are placed by the laws in many individual states. The whole race, and especially the colored women must rise up and protest with all their power against the enactment of such a law. Not upon the grounds that we are desirous of intermarriage, but upon the ground that such a law would sweep away the legal recourse which the colored woman still has in nineteen states against the white man who seduces her and upon the ground that the Negro refuses to be written down in the Federal law as something less than a human being. In view of these facts, I call upon the State Presidents, the officers and the rank and file of our organization to forward AT ONCE to Senator Capper and Congressman Fairfield their most URGENT PROTEST against this proposed legislation. Ever and anon some un-American measure is proposed to disparage and humiliate the womanhood and manhood of the race. Let NO WOMAN REST until the desks of these two lawmakers are buried beneath telegrams of protest from the womanhood of this country.—Hallie Q. Brown, President, National Association of Colored Women, Orlando, Fla., Feb. 1, 1923. ARCHBISHOPS OF MEXICO AGAINST KU KLUX KLAN Mexico City, Mexico, Feb. 23—(Pacific News Bureau)—The various Archbishops of Mexico have united in an open letter to President Obregon expressing their gratification at the expression of friendship for religion conveyed in a message to the clergy and assure his excellence that the aim and desire of the Church is to cooperate with and conform to the constitution and laws of the Republic. At the same time it deplores the spread of socialistic, bolshevistic, Ku Klux and other propaganda in Mexico subversive of all social order, law and property rights which dangerous doctrines it is the duty and right of the Church to combat at all times.

GOVERNOR BRYAN IT looks like Governor Bryan believes in carrying out to the letter his pre-election promises. One of these is the reduction of taxes levied upon the state made necessary by the Code Bill. In his message last Tuesday he makes provision for a reduction of $4,500,000 annually from the state's expenses, a large proportion of which will be saved by cutting off of the payroll about 150 employees, many of them high salaried. Please notice that it requires some nerve to put it mildly for a democratic governor, or any other kind, for that matter, to voluntarily lop off 150 employees who considered from a political point of vantage would be potential factors in building up a powerful machine to keep him in office and advance his political ambitions. Patronage is admittedly a powerful political leverage and yet Governor Bryan shows himself a mighty big man and a far-sighted one in taking this step. It would be very easy for him to appoint 150 democrats to these 150 positions held by republicans and they would or could prove strong allies; but he foregoes this. This is something new in the political game. It is unusual to remove any cogs, which one's predecessor in office has put into the wheels of his machine. The usual plan is keep them and oil them and add a few more. The principal feature of Governor Bryan's plan is to cut out the code system, as it is called, which provides for secretaries of departments appointed by the governor, replacing it with a council of five state officers, already on the job and not overburdened with their present duties, and so consolidating overlapping departments as to reduce a large number of unnecessary employees. This means a saving of about 30 percent to Nebraska taxpayers or an aggregate of $4,500,000 per annum. And as some one has facetiously remarked this saving will buy "a powerful lot of' pork chops". This is the plan that Governor Bryan has put squarely and frankly up to the legislature. The Monitor most heartily favors it. We hope that no narrow partisanship upon the part of the legislators will thwart the plan. We urge our readers to keep in touch with their representatives at Lincoln and let them know just what their views are. The reduction of expenses, with efficient government, is a matter in which all our citizens are vitally interested. The Monitor invites an expression from our readers on Governor Bryan's plan. Do you favor it? If so, say so; if not, give your reasons. world peace has come from Lausane. The Turkish government refused to sign the treaty which the powers have endorsed. While European statesmen and diplomats are saying that the Turks are obstinate, it seems to us that the blame for the failure to agree must be shared by the other nationals who were as obstinate as Turkey. The powers present seemed to be determined to force certain concessions upon Turkey the acceptance of which would have been a clear violation and surrender of her souvereignity. As we view the situation in the Far East there are certain aspects of the case which lead us to believe that Turkey has acted with good faith and within her rights. HOPEFULNESS THERE is no reason at all why we should not be hopeful and in that hopefulness do our level best. We are all too prone to look on the annoyances to which we are subjected and in so doing overlook the many privileges which we enjoy. The story of constructive things which we are accomplishing everywhere is written in larger and bolder type than the destructive forces with which we have to deal. INSTITUTION OF THE STATES. Not to Be Abridged. Naturalized in the United States, on thereof, are citizens of the state wherein they reside. No any law which shall abridge the citizens of the United States; nor person of life, liberty, or prop- law, nor deny to any person final protection of the laws. TRUTH COMING OUT THERE have been several c THERE have been several cases recently brought to light which show how easy it is and how very general the tendency to cast suspicion upon Negroes for certain crimes of which they are innocent. How many innocent black men have been murdered by mobs will never be known. That there have been hundreds of such cases goes without saying. The confession of a woman in North Carolina a few weeks ago that her story of assault and murder by Negroes was false and made to shield guilty white men, and a similar case in Texas, shows this tendency and menace. Take again the case of the misguided high school student who was caught red-handed is banditry in Kansas City last week, with blackened face. Had he not been killed and his racial identity revealed his crime would have been laid to some Negro. Incidents of this kind should make the American public realize the added burden placed upon the Colored American by masqueading criminal whites. Gradually the truth is coming out. ALLEN CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH 25th and R Street Market 3475 O. J. Burckhardt, Pastor Sunday was one of those days in Allen when everybody got happy. Because of this fact our services ran far into the afternoon. No one seemed to be in a hurry to go home or elsewhere until the tidal wave calmed somewhat. Rev. Mr. Phelps preached us a fine sermon at 11 and the pastor reached at 8 p. m., on "Womanhood, Before and After Christ." Sunday we expect another feast day. The pastor hopes to preach at 11 a.m. on the subject "I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my Lord, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness," and at the evening service there will be an evangelistic service. Our Sunday school is growing in interest. Mr. Bunting enrolled as a member. He loves the work. The League is also growing in interest. Miss Allie Redd makes a good substitute n the absence of Miss Ruby Redd, and Rev. Mr. Harris stays on the job and keeps inspiration in the League. The Senior Choir met for its first practice Sunday afternoon with about a full membership. Come and hear our choirs sing. Mr. Mitchell joined in worship with us yesterday. We have quite a few sick, Mother Helm, Ruth Redd, Marguerite Alstron, Carrie Alstron, Julia Bradford, Frank Gray and Mother Gray. PILGRIM PAPTIST CHURCH Rev. William Franklin, Pastor. Congregations were smaller Sunday than usual. The pastor spoke on "Contentment and Duty." All the clubs are making a good showing in their activities to raise their portion of the $12,000 due October 1. The recently organized Mississippi club held a successful meeting Tuesday night. Quite a number of new members have joined the Starlight band. They are meeting regularly weekly. ZION BAPTIST CHURCH Dr. W. F. Botts, Pastor Services were well attended on last Sunday, both morning and evening. The pastor is able at his post of duty again, much to the delight of his members. Many of our members remain ill, we pray for them a speedy recovery. Do not fail to hear Anita Patti Brown, the most famous Negro prima donna, who will appear in recital at this church March 8th. WONDERFUL COLORED DANCERS The Three Whirlwnds and Madeline With "Sliding" Billy Watson at the Gayet. Musical burlesque of the high order Columbia circuit attractions always furnish will be provided by the "Big Fun Show" at the popular Gayetty theatre week starting Saturday matinee, "Sliding Billy" Watson being the company star with his own peculiar methods of comedy likely to develop no end of merriment. Watson's funny feet and comical "slide" have long been effective means to comedy developments in burlesque and it is declared that "Sliding Billy" has surpassed himself in creating oddities in comedy and novelty in "stage business" for the "Big Fun Show". Ben Platt will be Watson's chief assistant in the many humorous scenes. The prima donna will be Inez de Verdier, declared to be among the handsomest woman in burlesque. Miss de Verdier specializes in fine gowns and her wardrobe is sure to be a matter of interest to the ladies who patronize the special daily matinees. Ethel de Veaux will lead in the chorus numbers and offer her soubrette specialty as a feature of the performance. Lillian Harvey, ingenuue, will specialize in songs. There will be eighteen girls who sing and dance to swell the choruses and enliven the ensembles. In speaking of the Three Whirl winds and Madeline a prominent colored newspaper in Baltimore had the following kind words to say: The great number of colored theatre-goers who visit the Gayety this week to see "Sliding Billy Watson's Big Show", will be surprised but pleased to note that the colored performers in the company are conspicuous throughout the show and take the front row with the other principals in the company ensembles. It is due credit to aquartette of the most remarkable dancers on the stage. The little lady is a graceful artist with a sweet voice and is well supported by three wonderful dancers. They are the center of attraction, although the entire show is top-notch. Especially the comical Watson himself. Among the many features is a burlesque on "The Trenches", an apparently realistic but comic on those days in France. The show closes with Saturday matinee and night shows. Matinee at 2:15 daily. Sunday ma- three starts at 3:00. GETS CONFIDENTIAL "Sliding Billy" Watson Confesses the Source of His Never-Failing Comedy. "Sliding Billy" Watson reclaims that he finds inspiration for laughs every where he turns, and the audiences that crowd the theatres he plays are getting the benefit of Watson's watchful and eager search for comedy inspirations. "Good comedy must be human," says Watson. "The best way to get the human touch is to study human beings and the best way to study human beings is in a crowd. I was never in a crowd that I didn't come out with two or three corking good ideas for comedy to be applied to my stage performance. The odd mannerisms of men and women, if watched for, can be exaggerated and turned to good account. Election time is great for me Look! LO Saturday, F will Grand Openin Dance Look! LOOK! Look!

THE MINISTERIAL ALLIANCE It was an enthusiastic group of ministers that met in regular session at the Y. W. C. A. to participate in the work of the Alliance. The regular order of the day not having been prepared, the time was given over to the discussion of affairs of vital interest to the community. Among other things a movement was inaugurated to regulate the matter of promiscuous and irresponsible soliciting by many stragglers coming into the city. As an indication of the cooperative spirit among the ministers, a committee was appointed to take steps towards union services during Passion Week. Since the establishing of the Baby Station in the Y. W. C. A. makes it inconvenient for the alliance to assemble there at the same hour, upon invitation of the Rev. F. Divers the Alliance will meet in the lecture room of the Bethel A. M. E. church until further notice. By unanimous vote of the Alliance the Rev. Russell Taylor will deliver an address next Tuesday on "The Church in Relation to the Outstanding Evils of the City."

DRAPED ON CLASSIC LINES Important Part Is Played by Decorations—Circular Effects Obtained by Godets and Panels—Wide Skirts for Evening. Fashions are becoming more sophisticated. The flapper has met a formidable rival in the woman. So this winter, writes a fashion correspondent in the New York Tribune, may see the passing of the flapper type of dress. All of the new styles show a strong tendency to depart from the juvenile types so prevalent during the past few years. They embody dignity and importance, two characteristics which of late years have been almost entirely lacking in dress. The long skirt and the many variations of drapery now in use have helped to bring about these changes. The important part played by drapery rather handicaps the amateur dressmaker. No more can she hope to be dressed in the height of fashion in the simple chemise frock which she made so easily. No she must include in her wardrobe gowns draped on classic lines. The ways in which drapery has vacillated in the position that it shall take in regard to the dress is somewhat astonishing. It began by adorning the side of the frock. After assuming numerous other positions it now elects to make the front the most important part of the gown. Circular Effects Obtained. Many think it comparatively easy to popularize a new style and that women are waiting to welcome anything new and striking in dress. This is not so. A real change in fashions is brought about very, very slowly. It is months, sometimes a year, after a style is shown before it is accepted even in a limited way. Take, for instance, the circular skirt. Two years ago designers put their best effects into models with circular skirts in an endeavor to make this fashion popular, and during the intervening time the best creators of styles have from time to time tried to force them. But it is only this autumn that we see this type of skirt making real progress. It is not unusual to see skirts that are plain and tight across the back with circular panels in the front and at the sides, thus making a compromise between the straight line and the circular. While daytime dresses show fan-shaped godets and front drapings, there is a strong tendency toward really wide skirts for the evening. Skirts are very long. Lanvin, always the exponent of youth in dress, makes her models longer than those of any other dressmaker in Paris. So we may expect to see the extremely long-skirted frock taken up by young girls. This always is favorable to the THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY Showing the French Frock of Plaited Crepe de Chine. success of a fashion, because all women like to appear youthful, and the style that youth elects to make its own invariably becomes the prevailing mode. Deviate From Bateau Neckline. Designers are trying to do away with the popular bateau neckline, and in their endeavor have introduced several interesting outlines for the necks of dresses, among the most unusual being the one-sided effect. There is the deep V-shaped neck cut high at the back and extremely low in front. This type requires a gilet or modesty piece, as the French call it. A new French frock in which the Town Has Biggest Dance Hall Town Has Biggest Dance Hall. The town of Douglas, in the Isle of Man, boasts of having the largest and most comprehensive place of amusement in the world. One of its chief features is a dance hall capable of accommodating a thousand couples at one time. Tounght for the Day Thought for the Day. Some people think they are conservative when they are really ignorant. one-sided effect is exaggerated almost to the point where it becomes bizarre, is important, as it stresses the strong tendency toward one-sided effects in both neckline and sleeve. On one side the dress is cut so high that it nearly forms a collar and slopes so far to the opposite side that it falls over the shoulder. The right side shows one long, tight sleeve, while there is no sleeve for the left side. One-Side Trimming. Another model emphasizing this tendency in dress is of pure Greek inspiration, the drapery falling in classic lines from the right shoulder. This is a Poiret model in rose, blue and white silk, with a very unusual trimming consisting of crocheted bands wrapping about the shoulders. Hats as well as dresses have come under the influence of one-sided trimming. Some unusual trimming appear. A lace scarf tied in a tailored bow on a plain velvet hat is quite out of the ordinary. Following in the 1 Gown in Blue and White Crepe Romain, Steel Ebbroidery. train of the long trailing scarfs used on hats during the past summer, the ends of this lace scarf fall to the wearer's knees. This is a simple type of hat, but extremely picturesque and graceful. Metal lace is far more popular in autumn millinery than it deserves to be, for nothing less practical as a hat trimming could well be imagined. Many of the high-crowned hats of the Second Empire period show one-sided trimmings in the form of birds or clusters of small feathers. Great extravagance is apparent in the lavish use of fur trimmings on this autumn's clothes. Chinchilla and monkey head the list. Monkey in black is still a big leader, though gray and sable color will be much in demand. Narrow double fringes of monkey set together with a fancy braid are much used as a trimming. There is every indication that many short capes will be worn—that is, cape collars nearly large enough to be considered wraps. It is in these pieces that the furrier shows his artistry in making patterns in one fur and filling the interstices with a second fur. The New Colffure. Hairdressing has always played an important part in the history of fashion. Today the collure and its appendages are receiving even more attention than usual. Aside from the fact that a woman's appearance is either made or married by the manner in which she dresses her hair, there was bound to be a keen reaction from the far-reaching bobbed-hair vogue. Indeed, it would hardly seem appropriate to combine the more dignified types of dresses and their lengthened and draped lines with anything but real dignity in hairdressing. In Paris at the present time the fashion is to draw the hair back tightly to reveal the ears. For some time past even the woman who was the fortunate possessor of beautifully shaped ears was compelled to dress her hair so as to completely conceal them. In the winter of 1921 this mode of hairdressing was affected by many smart women, particularly in Paris, but was not taken up very well, nor with much enthusiasm. There is still some doubt as to whether it will be generally accepted this year because it is undoubtedly a trying fashion. Matching Headaddress for Gown. Many women will not be willing to adopt this mode of hairdressing in the daytime, but will, aided by one of the new hair bands, find it quite attractive in the evening. These bands are made of tinsel-edged velvet leaves colored to match the gown, of rhinestones and velvet combined, of metallic brocades, silver lame, flowers and feathers, as well as all sorts of pearl, crystal and colored beads. Occasionally the maker of the evening gown designs a headaddress to accompany it. With the wide choice which obtains in the selection of hair ornaments and bandeaux and the opportunity of having a real artist create a suitable one, there is no longer any necessity for wearing anything inapropriate or unbecoming.

HANDLE REPTILES UNHARMED Tradition Says Ceremony Originated During Great Drought Which Was Broken When the Children Went Out on the Plain and Gathered Snakes and Played and Danced With Them — Sometimes Dancers Are Bitten, but They Do Not Even Get Sick. Many years ago a great drought vitiated the land of the Hopi Indians, in northern Arizona, according to an Indian legend. The corn and the melons died and there was no game. By and by the people themselves began to die of hunger and thirst. The old men planted many prayer sticks. The gods were invoked in every way the people could devise. But no rain came. There was great suffering. Then the children said: "We must help. How can we make the gods listen? By doing something that we hate." So they went out on the plain below and gathered snakes, and played with them, putting them in their mouths, and singing and dancing with them. Then came great rains and the people's lives were saved. And the old men said: "The children have pleased the gods by playing with that which the gods love. We have learned our lesson." So they bound themselves in the great snake fraternity, made songs and prayers, and once every year since then they have appealed to the gods for rain with their "snake brothers," who are the messengers to the underworld, says Frederick J. Haskin in the Chicago Daily News. Dance Remains the Same. The dance is carried out now in much the same manner as it was years ago, it is believed. Two fraternities always participate, the Antelope and the Snake, the former as assistants in certain rites. For nine days before the dance the men of the latter organization go out on the plains with notched sticks, buckskin bags and wallets of sacred meal to hunt for their snake brothers. Late in the afternoon of the day before the dance, the Antelope priests appear in full regalia of painted bodies, dance sashes and kilts of brilliant colors, and with symbolic equipment such as bowls of sacred meal, prayer plumes, sacrificial plants, and feathered wands. For half an hour they chant and enact a prayer for rain and for their brothers, the Snake priests. The next morning before dawn runners have gone far out on the plain that they may race to the mesa top, hoping to reach it as the sun rises. They go loping along various paths, all of which converge in the trail to the top. The court in which the dance occurs looks as usual except for the kisi built at one end. The kisi is the shrine of cottonwood boughs covered with canvas wherein the snakes are put for the ceremony. A shallow hole is dug in front of it, over which a board is laid. This is Shi-pa-pu, the entrance to the underworld or the abiding place of the gods. At 5 p. m. or a little later the Anteleo priestes enter the court with the same paraphernalia they employed the day before. After circling over Shi-pa-pu a few times they take their places on either side of the kisi and sing lustily, rhythmically, and with a wild vigorous melody. Then the snake priests dash in—literally dash in—their rattles jingling madly, their feet paddling the hard-packed earth faster than ear can conveniently count. The Dance Grows Furious. The Dance Grows Forth. They take their places in front of the Antelope priests and with them chant and wave their wands for many minutes. The music seems to grow wilder. Suddenly it breaks. The snake priests separate. One of their kneels in front of the kisi, reaches in and pulls out a snake. He grips its neck with his lips so that its head projects a little beyond his left jaw, and if it is a large snake, six or seven feet long, he grasps its body with his hands. Meantime another priest, with feather wand, has taken his place at the dancer's right, places his left hand on the dancer's left shoulder, and with the wand strokes the body of the snake. Together, with high rhythmic step, they start around the court. A third priest, also with a feather wand, falls in behind. Thus the whole fraternity forms into groups of three faster than words can describe, making the circle of the dance. Finally, almost unnoticed, women come from an inner room with plaques of sacred meal and draw a huge white circle in one corner of the court. Then the lines break. The snakes are thrown in a heap inside the circle, the women hastily and timidly sprinkle them with meal, and as hastily depart. Certain of the younger Snake priests dart in and, seizing as many reptiles as they can hold, dash in the four directions. Far out on the plain they release their loads—and their serpent brothers seek their holes and bear the recently enacted rain prayer to the gods below. The snakes' fangs are not pulled. Sometimes the men are bitten, but it is claimed they do not even get sick. Lines to Be Remembered.

THREE WHIRLWINDS AND MADELINE A quartette of wonderful colored dancers with "Sliding" Billy Watson and his Hilarious Jubilee at the popular Gayety twice daily all next week. In Kansas City last week they actually stopped the show at every performance. THE MONITOR A quartette of wom his Hilarious Jubil Kansas City last w WEALTHY VICTIM OF TULSA RIOT MOVES TO MEXICO Los Angeles, Calif., Feb. 23—(Pacific, News Bureau)—Mr. O. N. Gurley, one of the pioneer Negro merchants of Tulsa, Okla., and whose three story brick building was totally destroyed in the riot, is in Los Angeles enroute to the new Mexican townsite and colonization colony a few miles across the Mexican border from San Diego, Cal. Immediately following the Tulsa riot Mr. Gurley rebuilt his building and sold it. With a number of other prominent Oklahoma colored business men, he visited the various colonization projects for Negroes in Mexico, going as far in the interior as Mexico City and San Louis Potosi. Mr. Gurley favors the Lower California colonization project in preference to those far in the interior of the Republic, as he claims it is possible to live in perfect freedom and security, amid ideal locations for farming, yet within a few hours by automobile from San Diego and Los Angeles. He further states that in the Santa Clara Valley, 60 miles below San Diego and 30 miles from the great Mexican seaport city of Ensanada, the Negro controls over 5,000 acres of wonderful land where he is welcome by the Mexican government and people and where he can live in peace and without persecution, enjoying a freedom of independence and security heretofore unknown.

ORNAMENT FOR BOBBED HAIR Feather Band Now Used to Decorate Milady's Locks—May Be Worn High or Low. Feathers, which claim the utmost attention in fans, are trying for equal prominence as hair ornaments. They appear in the loveliest hair bands, some of which tower to great heights, while others are worn low on the head, the plumage either shooting upward from the middle of the brow or falling over the ears. Blue glycerined ostrich placed at the sides of a blue velvet band studded with rhinestones droops gracefully over either ear. Another model consists of a narrow rhinestone band with green feathered wings perched jauntily at the sides directly over the ears. One-sided effects are evidenced in bands in which a large silk flower or a twisted velvet leaf is placed at one side only. The woman who has bobbed her hair may wear it in the new, tightly drawn fashion by employing one of the combs or bandeaux which are made expressly for her. A particularly appealing ornament is made of silver wire and rhinestones, and resembles a horse-shoe. The hair is combed straight back and then drawn through the ornament, which is placed at the back of the head in an upright position with the rounded part at the top. Still another arrangement for bobbed hair is to catch it up under a band, the front of which consists of silver wire with connecting bars and the back of flowers. Books Centuries Old. Some of England's oldest art treasures, from Durham cathedral's monastic library, were recently brought to London and placed on view at the Victoria and Albert museum. Most of the work in northern English of the earlier Anglo-Irish schools of Lindsafine and Durham, and the examples of calligraphy and illumination range in dates from the Seventh to the Fourteenth century. Among the manuscripts are two traditionally attributed in the Middle ages to the venerable Bede, but this ascription is not now accepted. There are, also, several of the books given to the monastery by the Bishops William de St. Carleph (1080-1096) and Hugh de Pulset (Pudsey) 1154-1195. Three of the four volumes of Pudsey's Bible, as one of the most splendid in existence, are included in the exhibit—London Times. Built by Boy Scouts The lodge house of the W. W. W. at Treasure island is said to be the finest building ever erected by the boy scouts anywhere. The work was done entirely by scouts and it is a proof of the value and permanence of the order.
