'Domestic Science' sounds better to many. --- Chicago, great Chicago, with its large and ever increasing population, and its constant stream of black humanity flowing in from the Southland, adding to the already 150,000 men and women of African descent who from this or that land have found solace there, was the scene of the Republican National Convention of 1920. We the thief of last year would have it indulged to observe them, but they came faster much to the disgust of the whit south in past have been doing everything to impede the progress of the life like late world we could have thought our fold blessings upon the race. We God the wealthy is selling the midlife class of whites and further out on the South side and selling their fine natural homes, dais, churches and business houses to Colored people. The Southern Colored man is not loosing any time in biding these for the change is like leaving the thres hold of Hades and entering into the Gates of Paradise. From an old dirty shack in the South to a gray granite front on Michigan Avenue is indeed a wonderful change. Especially so when the laws are enforced to all persons equally, and the chief requisite is to be a peaceful, law-abiding citizen. Within thirty six hours after a Southern reaches Chicago, they discard the handanna handkerchief, the snuff box, the monkey chatter and the Marne John Grin) and put on the Northern air, speak the Massachusetts Language, throng the churches take hold of the political situation and soon he is in the business world. He can be seen in most every book and corner offering something for sale. He has made the old time, dignified Northern Negro wake up and start to buying property. He is sending his children to the public schools along side of every nationality on earth, with teachers, with a like mixture. Being surrounded with this atmospheres of freedom there is nothing else for them to do, but "get up and go." The Chicago Colored newspapers are doing much good for the race printing the way to the many advantages offered them, as well as fighting and contending for their civil and political rights. When shown some of the mansions and fine homes owned and occupied by Colored people we could hardly believe it to be true. Our suggestion to the Negrens of Chicago is, about four banks, two life insurance companies, and a Building and Loan Association. With all of its wealth and wage earners, their money is kept in the white man's bank. Chicago is full of lawyers, doctors, ministers, merchants, and politicians, the best educated of the Race yet not one concern in operation worth speaking of. They have a few "Skin Bin" joints who sell money at 10 per cent per month, a country which does not reach the masses of the people. The founders of Chicagos really should walk up along business and one total lines. The greatest act of the Race there is being a politician, a lawyer, a go-between from the unions, dives, commercial places, gambling houses, etc., and they can give protection and draw a little talented money or hold a job at the cost of holding the Race in a demoralized condition. As soon as the Chicago Colored politician rises up for better government, better housing conditions, better police protection from vice, cleaner streets more good paying jobs and everything that concerns the Colored man, the Race will make faster progress along all lines. We enjoyed the convention and were never more highly entertained in our life than by the many friends from Topeka, South Carolina and Chicago. We were dinner guest with our old friends Mr. and Mrs. Sim McCarroll, formerly of Topeka, who now resides at 3208 Indiana Avenue. Their home is finely furnished and they are living like king and queen Mr. McCarroll is employed by the American Express Company Mrs Harriet Huff of Topeka and son Sherman, of Chicago were also guests. In company with Attorney Ellisha Scott, of Topeka, we enjoyed an elaborate course dinner with Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Scott at their apartment at 4058 Calumet Avenue, assisted by Miss Malinda Thompson, formerly of Topeka. They are doing fine. Mr. Scott is a painter and paperhanger by trade and has charge of a large apartment house. Their son, Raymond, though young has a bank account. Mrs. Scott is an energetic woman whose heart goes out for the poor. She is an active worker in the church and is always locking out for the poor and decrepid. Miss Thompson is a fine caterer who has few equals and no superiors in her line from which she has accumulated considerable as is shown by her bank book. Their many TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING.

We were the guests at dinner at the beautiful home of Col. and Mrs. Franklin Dennison Col Dennison was formally Commanding the famous 8th Illinois It was a pleasure to visit them and enjoy the company of their five little children who brighten up the home as beautifully and keeps sunshine there the year round. The more we chatted with the little folks the more we became interested when we looked back a few years and thought of their mother who visited our home in Topeka with her relatives, Mrs. Ida Bowser, who was then a young Miss. We just beamed ever with joy at what happiness had come to her. A beautiful mansion, finely furnished and wall hung with several thousand dollars worth of paintings, a husband who is one of the best lawyers in the west, a thorough Race man who led his regiment to France and came back with honor. We must say the Lord has more than blessed her. She is an ideal mother and thoroughly knows the wants of each child and handles them accordingly. We certainly enjoyed the dinner and the little folks, their perfect table etiquette and little Miss Denise, who is seven years of age who entertained us by reciting stories She is full of life and very smart Franklin, Jr., age eleven; Dorothy age nine; Gene, age six and the little flower of the house, Jacqueline Ida Louise, three months old, occupying the nursery upstairs, was left to kick and coo while we ate dinner.

He will be the mouthpiece of the conference and the Race on public matters and will go to the White House for the things that are needed for Race development. He takes the place of Blessen Grunt on race issues. We visited the office of Dr. W P Dickerson, 2100 State Street, who own the building he occupies and several thousand dollars of property in other parts of Chicago. His office is well equipped with modern appliances and an X-ray machine. He dispenses his own medicines. He enjoys a large and literary practice, is a bachelor and would marry a woman who could convince him he ought to have a wife. He is a fine man, of a very quiet disposition, the woman would have to do the talking. His mother is a fine business woman who wants him to marry and will help some good woman to talk talk him in the notion. We met Mr. and Mrs. Otis Campbell of Richmond, Mo., who are doing well there.

We were pleased to meet Mrs. Carrie Haddan, formerly of Newberry, S. C., with whom we played together when children. We had a pleasant that together. Since last having seen each other both have raised children who have grown to womanhood. She is very active and enjoying good health. Geo W Hedge formerly of Topeka is certainly setting a pace for the boys. He is with the Northwestern R. K. Private car service, where he has been for a number of years. He and his splendid wife have saved their accumulation and purchased the beau- tiful flats at 4421-4423 Prairie Ave. Six apartments with every modern con- tience, finished in polished marble and tiled inside and out. This was purchased for the sum of $15,000 and is bringing a monthly rental of $300. This building could not be built for less than $40 000. It is an ideal place. W. W.

Mr. Fisher is making good as usual and has gained the confidence of the powers that be. His splendid family is well and doing well. Samuel, the oldest son is developing into a fine minister and will be heard from in the near future. While in Chicago we made our headquarters with Mr. and Mrs. I D Bowser '110 Wabish Avenue. We always enjoy the genuine hospitality offered us there in their beautiful and well arranged home. Mr Bowser is in the service of the Railroad and is interested in the insurance business. He is an active race man, full of energy and push. Mrs Bowser, a Kansan, and enough said Kansans always make the good. She is full of business, a fine Christian lady who does many good deeds for the poor. Every body who knows her, loves her for her kind Christian spirit. They are doing well and we wish them success. We wish Mrs Bowser could live forever. While here we met our old friend, Mr A. M. Schwelch of Columbia, Mo., who is living at 4512 Calumet Ave. He is doing well and enjoying good health. He is the father of a large family of children, all of whom are grown and making fine men and women. Some of them are married and are getting on well. He has returned to his home either to sell his property or look up something good and remain in dear old Missouri. We hope he finds what he wants as Missouri needs him. He is too valuable for Chicago. The Perer boys are doing well and they own a fine flat on Calumet at No. 1512. This flat brings in something like $15000 per month. He has a fine business at 53th and state Street, a first class pool hall and soft drink emporium. His wife, Mrs Evelyn Preer, is one of the most talented women of the west.

Her gowns compare favorably with those turned out in Paris. She has patrons in all parts of the country. Their handsome flat is modern and complete with garage, being purchased at a bargain cut account of the whites moving out, because of the Negroes moving in the neighborhood. We always enjoy a meal or two with our old South Carolina near kinsfolk. Mrs White can cook as to compel the person with the weakest stomach to eat. She is a world beater when it comes to baking white fish. We were proud to meet our almost sister and mother. Mrs Jennito Lewis and mother formerly of Greenville and Abbeyville, S.C.

His congregation is proud of him. Shilton Baptist Church of our city regretted to lose him, but the call at Chicago was to strive to resist. He has purchased a fine residence for $11,000 which was built eleven years ago at a cost of $70,000. His congregation wants him and his beautiful family to have the best. He and his wife are a great asset to the church and the race and his congregation knew a good thing when they saw him and they grabbed him. He is one of the foremost ministers in the country, a church builder and a thorough Race man. He will make Chicago him along spiritual and business lines. His wife will cause the women to move and do great things for the betterment of her sex and race. We met Charles Jones of Topeka and his wife who was formerly Miss Mildred McKnight of our city. They are the happest couple in Chicago. Their little three weeks old girl is simply grand. Charles is very proud of the little lady and cannot get home too quick to fondle her. He is employed in the machine department of a large Chicago factory. Topeka is proud of this little happy couple. We were highly entertained at a nine o'clock breakfast at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Oliver, 4938 Indiana Avenue. Mr. Oliver was one Topeka's substantial citizens and one of the leading business men. He is in Chicago in the mail service and doing fine. He is a hustler and a business man and you may expect some day to find him the leading man in the Chicago business world. A Big Opportunity for the Colored Man.
