Everyone Can Dance. Only Leaders Required to Be in Full Dress. When Dreamland Dance Palace, at 3500 Olive St., opens its doors next Monday,night, May 10, for Miss Jeanette Mack's Dance Exhibition and Ball, it will offer several new features distinctively different from any that have embellished a social event in this city. First, it will be the initial event given by colored in this palatial hall of brilliant lights, wonderful acoustics and fairy-like architecture. Second, it will invite the lovers of the art-de-terpsichore to trip the light fantastic over the largest and fastest dance floor in the west. Third, it will introduce, to St. Louisans, for the first time, a repertoire of dance classics of the highest artistry. For several months two hundred or more of our best dancers have been long rehearsing the difficult steps in the special dance program. MISS JEANNETTE MACK Promptly at 8 P. M., the Harmony Orchestra, under the leadership of Eugene R. White, will start the short musical program.

All numbers will be led by competent dancers and only these leaders and those in the special program are required to be in full dress or costume. Others may dress just as they please. No wraps will be permitted in the dance enclosure. The ladies' and gents' dressing rooms will be in charge of J. W. Bell. The admission will be 50 cents.

IMMENSE CROWD PACKS KEY-STONE GARDEN AT RE- Regardless of the cold weather last Monday night, Charlie Mills' Keystone Garden was crowded from early evening until the closing hour. Never before has the beautiful outdoor cafe presented more class and distinction than on that occasion. Prominent people came from all parts of the city to pay their respects to the hustling little manager and acclaim his popularity. The Keystone will offer special service to Dreamland patrons next Monday night. Everybody is welcome.

The many citizens who attended the trial were startled, it seems, by the conditions which were shown to exist in the school. Every day little groups of citizens may be heard discussing these bad conditions and suggesting remedies therefor. According to reports, amazement is giving way to disgust and indignation, and a deep-seated determination to change the conditions has manifested itself. On every hand the question is being asked, "Who is responsible for the conditions existing at Summer?" As startling as are the conditions which are shown to exist, perhaps, the most significant fact is that the principal of the school and the authorities were made acquainted with them before they ever became public and were urged to remedy them. The question is being asked every day, "What will the School Board do now?" Will they retain men in the schools whose usefulness as teachers is at an end? Ask others. And from all sides there come reports, protests and opposition to the existing conditions. The, public schools are the bulwark of this nation. It is through them that the state hopes to make better citizens of its boys and girls. The WOMAN OPPOSED TO NEGRO SEGREGATION Miss Jane Thomson Denies City has Right to decide where Blacks shall live. Terms adjocates a menace. She would remove from society those whose ideas disturb its peace. Miss Jane Thomson of the Buckingham, a leading suffrage worker and Woman's Peace Party official, has sent The Republic the following article opposing Negro segregation. For some time I have been noticing considerable reference to the idea that Negroes should be segregated and I have been very much surprised that there was so little protest against the propagation of such an idea. The world seems to be full of people, however, instead of working for something which means progress, seem to spend all of their minds and energies on seeing what they can do to hinder those who want to go forward and to cause trouble even for those who are content to stand still. Some of the above-mentioned class evidently have forgotten that the Civil War is over and that we no more have the right to tell our Negro citizens where they shall live and where they shan't live than we have to tell our white citizens where their homes shall be located. Of course, with our frightful city slums and awful districts full of houses unfit for pigs to live in, we make the poor of our big cities live in certain districts, which is perhaps a form of segregation, but to say that a man or woman, of whatever color their skin may be, has to live in a certain section of the city, no matter if he has the price to pay for a better home, is a piece of class legislation against which we cannot protest too strongly. It it thoroughly undemocratic and borders on the inhuman. Tells of Negroes' Progress The Negroes of this country have accumulated more than a billion dollars worth of property since the end of the Civil War. They have worked against odds almost too great to understand, and evidently not at all understood by the people who wish to have them compelled to choose their dwellings by the dictation of the law. The State of Missouri, and in particular the City of St. Louis, should not go out on a trouble-seeking expedition, but if we are going to segregate the unfit, if we are going to keep our city free from harm and let it go forward to a position where it stands for the rights of humanity, we might begin by placing such gentlemen as those I have mentioned in a place which the State provides for those who are a menace to society, whether it is weapons or ideas that they are using as a means of disturbing the peace. For one thing, I do not think our Negro citizens make any attempt to invade sections of the city where they would be as uncomfortable as those among whom they tried to live. Na- object is to make good citizens who are fitted to assume the responsibilities of life and contribute their just quota in industry, honesty and public spiritedness. This means that the public schools must not only train the intellect but the character as well. It is as essential that the citizen be an honest and moral being as that he be intelligent. If this be true, (and it is), every condition must be moved which will tend to defeat either end. The school which tolerates conditions that make for dishonesty and bad morals is worse than that one which turns out poorly trained persons. The Sumner High School building is said to be the finest and best equipped building of its kind used for Negroes in the world. The public school system in St. Louis is said to be one of the best in the world. But fine and well equipped buildings and splendid systems will not make good and useful citizens unless the moral atmosphere and the examples of the teaching force are such as to instill a sense of decency and a deep-seated principle of honesty in the minds of the pupils. The conditions at Sumner are not what they should be along this line. Who is responsible? What will be done to make them different? The people are asking these questions; but they must remember it is they who must answer them. tionalities have a way of gathering together, because they are happier among their own kind, and I do not think that we have to pass laws to keep this in effect. Idea Too Ridiculous for Thought But suppose this law did become effective, and that gradually all the Negroes who were of a very dark color came to live in a certain section of the city, then I presume there would still arise a bit of difficulty with those persons whose color was too light to allow the law to force them to live in the black belt and whose antecedents were too dark to permit them to live unmolested in the white neighborhoods. The whole idea is too ridiculous for a sane person even to give it a thought, and yet these foolish ideas that people possess are sometimes too fruitful of harm for us to let them go unhindered. These people belong in the same class with those who oppose every sort of advance that the world tries to make. When women ask for political freedom they place every obstacle in their way and try to keep them in a place to which they say women belong by birth and heredity, just so they use the same pleas of past evidence proving they are right to take such a stand, and they prophesy of the woes to come with the future if you allow human beings, male or female, black or white, to have just the ordinary rights that some few citizens seem to believe belong only to certain white males, and that these same white males, are somehow ordained by the Almighty to tell the rest of us what is good for us. Every right-minded, just person should voice a protest against such a step backward into the dark ages as this idea would mean. Our Negro citizens pay taxes, but they do not enjoy the privileges afforded to the children of white taxpayers. I refer to the fact that Negroes are not allowed to attend the State University. So do not let us go farther back. If those worthy men want to protect the State and city from any bad effects the Negroes might cause, then let them take measures to have Negro children so well educated that they will not be of any danger to our Commonwealth. From the St. Louis Republic. PLEASANT GREEN BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES By Mary Wilburn Fields Three candidates were baptized last Sunday morning. One being a little box, six years old, who startled the church by his declaration to follow Christ. Communion and hand of fellowship at 3:00 o'clock. Rev. Parker preached a stirring sermon Sunday night. Monday night configuration of covenant. Tuesday morning the pastor, Rev. J. K. Parker, departed for a brief recreation. All the members were loathe to see him go, but all were conscious of his much needed rest. Preparations are being made for the celebration, in June, of the tenth anniversary of the pastorate of Rev. Parker. The Literary, which convenes every Thursday night, is quite interesting. Everyone is welcome at all times to our services, weekly or Sunday. TUSKEGEE SINGERS AT ST.

Returning From Triumphant Tour of California. The Tuskegee Institute singers, assisted by Chas.

They will render a program of plantation melodies, Negro folk songs and readings on the above date at St. Paul's A. M. E. Church, Rev. W. Sampson Brooks, Pastor. This group of singers has appeared in every important church, hotel, college, State Normal School and High School from Santa Barbara to San Diego, Cal. They have been given a fine reception every place they have appeared for the last five months or more. The program rendered by this very excellent group from Dr. Washington's institution is most interesting and instructive from every point of view. Their programs were so well taken by Dr. Edward L. Grant, the progressive young dentist at 2710 Lawton Ave., is very much pleased with the patronage which has come to him since his location here. He has been practicing here more than a year. At first he was somewhat doubtful about the support and consideration a young Colored dentist would receive here, but now he sees and believes there are numbers of loyal and good thinking people of St. Louis who are willing and ready at all times to acknowledge and appreciate, by their loyal patronage one of their own race who is fully prepared and willing to deliver the goods. Dr. Grant is a young man who is very quiet and unassuming in his ways, but thorough and exact in his work. He expresses his sincere and grateful appreciation of the consideration of his many patrons here, and feels like, instead of Georgia, his old home state, give him St. Louis. He has recently improved his office equipment, and is fully prepared to serve the public with the best best work. Dr. Grant has installed a Bell phone—Bomont 1493. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Dr. F. F. Martyn, the pastor, will preach next Sunday, both morning and night. Subject of morning sermon: "Do You Walk Like You Talk?" Evening topic: "The Rain." The public is cordially invited. PARKWAY COMMITTEE The campaign committee of the proposed Central Parkway has opened headquarters at 519 Olive St., where they have everything laid out in a very pleasing manner. The committee in charge takes the greatest care in showing the visitor the "New City" should the people favor the plan by their vote June the 8th. The supporters of the movement state that if the vote at the June election is in favor of the Parkway, a commission will be appointed to assess the benefit and damages and if it is found that the cost is too great the project will be abandoned. SERVICES NEXT SUNDAY AT ALL SAINTS CHURCH Rev. James Wise, rector of the Church of the Holy Communion, will be the celebrant at the communion service at 7 a.m. Canon Percy J. Brown, of Christ Church Cathedral, will be the preacher at 11 a.m. Evening prayer at 8 p.m. The rector, Rev. C. M. C. Mason, is in the cast on a vacation.

Winter Wood, one of the best readers in the Negro race, who have been touring Southern California since early in December last, in the interest of Booker T. Washington's work at Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, will be in St. Louis May 12 on their return trip east.

They have been given a fine reception every place they have appeared for the last five months or more. The program rendered by this very excellent group from Dr. Washington's institution is most interesting and instructive from every point of view. Their programs were so well taken by the people during their stay in California that many people have been turned away for the lack of room to accommodate them. The Negro folk songs, as well as the readings by Mr. Wood, especially appeal to the lovers of real music. The small admission of twenty-five cents will be charged. The proceeds will be equally divided between St Paul's Church and Booker T. Washington's work at Tuskegee Institute, Ala. To-Night! Mr. William Pickens, who will speak at Central Baptist Church on Friday night, has been termed the greatest orator since Frederick Douglass.

LOUIS ARGUS TEXT—Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent towards Sodom. But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the Lord exceedingly.—Gen. 13:12, 13. Someone has said that the Old Testament is God's picture gallery where he has given us in picture form the doctrines and truths he develops in the New Testament. Our text has three of these pictures, in which three classes of persons are described—Abram, Lot and the men of Sodom. Living for Self. Taking these in reverse order, we can see how the men of Sodom illustrate a large number of people today. They are those whose underlying principle might be termed living for self alone. They do not care for real religion, but are occupied entirely with the things of time and sense. What they will eat today or what they will wear tomorrow is to them vastly more important than how they will stand before God in the future. Their effort is concerned with this life alone, and they live and work and play as though there were no such thing as eternity and no such person as God. They come to the end like the man who told himself he could retire from business because he had much goods laid up for many years and he could now afford to enjoy the fruits of his toll and eat, drink and be merry. But he had laid up all his goods on the earth; they were not taken from him, but he was taken from them, and it is no wonder the Lord says he was a fool. The class under consideration are not necessarily bad people, for usually they are tolerant of religion, as the people of Sodom did not mind having Lot in their midst. But the religion that Lot had was not very insistent. When it would threaten to interfere with business or with pleasure it must not be heard. It was time then to laugh it out of court as a sort of fable, and when it became personal Lot was to The second picture is that of Lot, in whom the half-and-half Christian is easily seen. This man illustrates those who seem to have, as the underlying principle of life, the idea of living for self and for God too. They attempt to serve two masters, and, failing to serve either, come to the end with nothing to show for their labor. They trust their own vision and live by sight and not by faith. Lot looked on the well-watered plain and, as far as he could see, it was the very thing he ought to have, the very thing that was best for him. But, as God saw, it was the very thing he ought not to have, the thing that was worst for him. He hazarded everything he had or hoped to have—himself, his family, his property—on what he could see with his own eyes, when he might have chosen what God could see. He trusted himself rather than God and the results were inevitable. He lost what God would have given him and he lost the enjoyment the men of Sodom had; for all the time he was there his righteous soul was vexed. He was neither out and out for self nor out and out for God. He had tried to live for God and self, he had tried to serve two masters and to get both the wealth of Sodom and the wealth of God. But he ended with awful disaster, losing his property, his testimony, his family—all that he had. The last picture is that in which the "out-and-out" Christian is seen in Abram. The underlying principle of his life seems to be that he had made up his mind to serve God alone. He was far from being a perfect man. He made many mistakes and even committed some sins. But underneath he was living for God. He had learned "thou shalt have no other God before me" and his life was governed by this principle. He recognized that he could serve only one master with any hope of success and he chose to have the Lord as that one Master. What he was and had and hoped to be belonged to that Master to do with as the Master desired. Where he was to be and go depended on that Master's direction. He would not lean to his own understanding nor judge by the sight of his eyes nor walk by his own wisdom. He would gladly take the seeming second best from God, believing that whatever appearances might say, they could not tell the whole truth. The men of Sodom lived for self alone and lost themselves and all they had; Lot lived for self and God and lost all he had of peace or power or property; Abram lived for God alone and, while he was not a perfect man, there was given to him the peace of God and power for God and possessions from God. "Choose ye this day whom ye will serve." There is no death. What seems so is a transition—Longfellow. Three Pictures from God's Album By REV B. B. SUTCLIFFE Autumn Superintendent Morn, Moody Institute, Chicago JOHN BURKE Living for Self and God. Living for God. INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of Sunday School Course, The Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, Ill.) LESSON FOR MAY 9 FRIENDSHIP OF DAVID AND JONATHAN. LESSON TEXT-I Samuel 20:33-62 GOLDEN TEXT-A friend loveth at all times.—Prov. 17:17. There is perhaps no narrative in all history or literature which so perfectly illustrates the conditions of friendship as this which is before us. Jonathan was every inch a man; affectionate, sweet and tender, deeply pious and withal loyal to both duty and friends. His rights, as the king's son, he gladly set aside for David, whom he "loved as his own" soul" (ch. 18:3; 20:17). Jonathan is a great type of the surrendered life (ch. 23:17). 1. David's Danger, vv. 32-35. Three times in the previous chapter (v. 5, 14, 30) we read that David "behaved himself wisely." "Saul eyed David" (v. 19) and his jealous anger grew as he gave vent to his hate. Jonathan's desires for David drew the anger of Saul (20:30), but it only put him more upon his guard and made him more determined, if possible, to save both David and Saul. Following David's escape (18:18) he consulted Jonathan regarding his safety (20:1:10). They renewed their covenant and swore fealty to each other and to those of their households (vv. 11:17). It is a standing rebuke that Christians treat so lightly their covenants with the church and with the world. David was safe at Naloth (19:18:24), for each company sent after him, and Saul himself, were hindered by the Spirit of Jehovah from carrying out Saul's foul designs. This seemed for the moment to humble Saul (20:1: Ps. 97:1). Jonathan, though great and mighty, was not strong enough to deliver his friend from the renewed wrath of his father. "Vain is the help of man." "Our help is in the Lord." Jonathan showed his true friendship in that he told the exact state of affairs to David (v. 10). When Saul became convinced that Jonathan was taking David's part, he tried to kill Jonathan and reviled the mother who bore him (v. $3). In his loss of self-control Saul allowed David to escape. Even so, sin overbrakes its mark. The contrast is a dark one to contemplate: II. David Delivered, vv. 38-42. Jonathan did not revile again (v. 34) when insulted and assailed by his father, and his manifestation of just anger (for his mother was reviled) was quite different from that of his father. Any attempt to reconcile Saul to David (v. 34) was a useless exposure to danger and for Jonathan to be seen with his friend would imperil his own life. This explains the expedient of shooting arrows in the field. Jonathan shot his arrows "beyond," l. e., David must go "beyond" and out of the reach of Saul. David trusted Jonathan's fidelity (v. 23) when the test came, though Jonathan might have good reason for playing him false in order to promote his own interests. Dismissing the boy, Jonathan drew near to David's hiding place, to the south of the stone Esel (v. 10 R. V.), where a most touching parting took place between these two friends. First of all David bowed ceremoniously three times, touching his head to the ground, perhaps to show his unshaken loyalty to Jonathan as the king's son. This was but for a moment; as men of the East and friends, they rushed to each other's arms and wept for a long time. These were the many tears of two brave men not afraid to show their love and emotions. It has been suggested that Jonathan should have accompanied David as God's elect (Heb. 13:13), but we feel that duty bade him to remain by the side of his sin-stricken father. The Lessons of the Lesson. True friendship costs. God's love gave to the world his Son. Jonathan's friendship for David was costly, but was given gladly, not grudgingly. True friendship neither forgets duty nor neglects its desire towards the object of its love. It is not governed emotionally, yet it disregards all other ties, if they are wrong. Not even a father or mother should lead us to wrong a friend. When David came into power he remembered the everlasting covenant made with Jonathan (II Sam. 9:3). Our "Son of David" has made a similar covenant with us (Acts 16:31; 2:39). True friendship is of slow growth, but is not easily killed. chilled by reverses, nor frozen by adversity (Prov. 18:24). True friendship is unseifish. It gives and does not seek. True friendship is founded upon religion and the best friend, the ideal friend, is Jesus Christ. That friendship which is based upon oaths, ritual and dues, is not adding, nor true friendship, for it excludes all who fail to possess the same password or a sufficient amount of money. That friendship, which is based upon expediency, or a quid pro quo, is by no means true friendship; it is as ephemeral as the morning mist and as frail as a chain of sand. The friendship which has as its common center God's best boon, the friendship of his Son, will, if it is true and genuine, abide forever. Today will be observed by many schools as "Mother's day."

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION A WOMAN'S VIEWS We urge every reader of the Argus to read carefully the article on our first page, reprinted from the Republic, which sets forth a white woman's view of segregation. Every Negro should read this inspiring article and from it gather inspiration. We emphasize the fact that this prominent woman, a leader of her sex and race, does not stand alone in this position she has taken. We have hundreds of intelligent, fair-minded, courageous white friends like her, and every now and then their voices, too, are lifted like a trumpet calling us to victory. We want her, and all our other staunch friends and supporters, to know that we deeply appreciate their attitude toward us. We were on the point of suggesting that our citizens flood her with letters of commendation, but as so many expressions of praise and gratitude have come into the Argus office, we thus voice the sentiment of our people as regards our appreciation. We are not servile in this. We do not seize and devour these expressions of our white friends as dogs lick up the crumbs that fall from the master's table. We recognize it as no more than what is due, and commend—not ourselves, for we are willing to stand or fall on our merits—but we commend the fairness, the spirit, the courage of those who scorn a foolish prejudice and champion right for right's sake. The article in question needs no lengthy comment, as it speaks for itself; speaks clearly, intelligently, and to the point. We merely call specific attention to one or two interesting thoughts the writer brings out. When she says, "Nationalities have a way of gathering together because they are happier among their own kind, and I do not think we have to pass laws to keep this in effect," she strikes the underlying philosophy of human life. Men are naturally gregarious, even segregarious. Cattle in droves, sheep in herds, fish in schools, birds in flocks, and men in groups, or communities. Just as schools of salmon, schools of porpoises, schools of whales, so groups of Italians, groups of Jews, groups of Negroes. All the segregation that is really necessary or desirable. Again she says: "There would still arise a bit of difficulty with those persons whose color was too light to allow the law to force them to live in the black belt, and whose antecedents were too dark to permit them to live in the white neighborhoods." Alas, too true, for it would take more than the law to tell where the color line really is—just where the black stops and the white begins! Indeed, segregation might break up some few families, house their children on both sides of the line and compel husbands to get a license to visit their wives, or wives their husbands. But read the article. THE CRISIS IN ERROR The Crisis, in its May issue, is guilty of two unpardonable errors, both reflecting discredit upon St. Louis. First, it states that "White citizens of St. Louis are trying to have the entrance to the colored high school changed to a less conspicuous street." In addition to being a gross error, this statement is an absurdity on the face of it. The street giving entrance to our high school is exclusively a colored residential street, while the school itself stands in the heart of our main colored residential section. Most likely the statement applies to Louisville, Ky., but whether or not, The Crisis should use more care in printing such statements. We note elsewhere in the magazine that Editor Du Bois "is resting in Jamaica during the month of April." If his periodical runs amuck like this during his absence, we would advise Editor Du Bois to stay on the job. The second error is even worse, and is a slander upon both white and colored citizens of this city. The Crisis reprints a news item from The St. Louis Republic, under the date of March 28, in which it is stated that during his recent visit here in the interest of Hampton Institute, Major Moton "had been petitioned by his own race not to dine with whites" at the City Club, where he delivered an address. Then follows the statement that "he did not eat at the club." All of which is an error and a discredit to the fairness and journalistic acumen of The Crisis. Such a statement should not be published or reprinted without a thorough investigation and knowledge of the facts. Now that Editor Du Bois is back from his month's "rest," we trust that he will administer a spanking to the subordinate who caused these libelous errors to be printed. The citizens of St. Louis are justly, angered that such wide publicity should have been given to discreditable falsehoods, and we ask that the next issue give equally wide publicity to a flat denial of their truth.

F. Allen, with some members of the faculty, and a large number of students of Lincoln Institute. St. Paul was filled to overflowing with one of St. Louis' most intelligent and appreciative audiences. The occasion of their coming was under the auspices of the local Alumni Association of Lincoln, of which Mr. C. S. Hunter is at the head. After prayer by Dr. W. Sampon Brooks, Mr. Hunter presented Prof. F. L. Williams, who in most felicitous terms, introduced President Allen, President Allen spoke of the work that Lincoln Institute is doing in its many and varied departments. The program rendered was one of especial merit, and made a most wholesome and lasting impression on those present. To speak of any number on the program that was deserving of special mention, would be to speak of each number that was well rendered. Those of the most artistic skill were the violin solo by the instructor in violin music, and the solos by the instructor in voice culture. The Glee Club takes its place among the best work of that kind, produced by the colleges of the country. The large and well trained orchestra is one of the best that it has ever been our pleasure to listen to. Dr. B. F. Allen, the president, is a man of splendid ability and of dignified bearing and would hold a place of command in any assembly. He is a great man and is doing a real work for Lincoln, for Missouri, and for the race. THE JACKSON Mr. Wm. Garland, 2 Hortense PL, will leave the latter part of this month for Narragansett Fier, R.

She was secretary of her class of nine members. Two of whom are dead. She raises a husband, four children, a mother, two brothers, one sister and an aunt to mourn her loss. The funeral services were held at her residence and were in charge of Rev. B. F. Abbott, of Union Memorial M. E. Church. "There is no fireside howsoe'er defended But has one vacant chair, There is no flock howsoever watched and tended, Yet one dead lamb is there. The air is full of farewells to the dying, And mournings for the dead The heart of Rachel for her children crying, Will not be comforted."

Jefferson (5-7-2-H) Hair Culture Oxford College I have a friend by the name of Mrs. Sarah Miller, and have been personally friendly to her for over three years, and during the time she wore a wig. I have been treating her hair for about two months, and now she has taken the wig off, and uses her own hair except a small piece in the back. This treatment is wonderful, I must say. Another lady by the name of Mrs. Emma Tuks, when I first saw the lady I was afraid to touch her hair, I thought I would burn the scalp, her hair was so short, and if you had seen her before I began to treat her scalp you would not believe it was the same head; it was the worst one I have met with. I will mention some more next time. Dear Madam: Yes, Nineteen Fourteen, in the month of August, I was visiting my friend, Mrs. Emma B. Wills; she and I were looking over the Voice of the People, a newspaper, and found Major's advertised hair grower, and we both decided to work for the Oxford College. I have tried everything for my hair and nothing did it any good, until I began using Major's Hair Oils, and I feel proud of my hair today, and feel more than able to speak for it anywhere and any time. I can trust, say it is the stuff thing and does the work. And I will say to all ladies, let your work hard, and use W. L. Major's face creams, hair oils and powder, and look good. Your Oxford Complexion Cream is among the best I have ever used, it shall always be on my dressing table, and you may be sure that your number of customers will be made more numerous by my advocating the use of it among my many friends and acquaintances. I have seven patrons who are taking the full course of treatments; they are perfectly satisfied with the treatments. Says your representation of different articles just as represented. I have a gentleman patient, who has ring-worms in face, I have been treating him two weeks and have taken all out of face excepting one. I feel that I am in a growing and prosperous business. Your chemicals are wonderful, and I am more anxious to go on and do everything for the future success of your business and my growth. GATES AND MANUEL Undertakers. 4107 Finney Ave. Phones, Del. 922; Lindell 5698. DR. G. B. KEY MOVES Dear Sir:— I can say, truthfully, that I have seen a great many who have had treatments from others firms, but none to equal the Oxford treatments. Had I taken some other course of hair treatment as many of my friends wanted me to, and afterward seen the work of your course, I would have been very jealous. Your treatment does just what it says it will do, and to be without it I would miss the very pride of womanhood. So many of my friends are wonderfully surprised since they have seen my work, and say they mean to take the Oxford Course of Hair Culture. One of two ladies that are having treatments from other agents have already said they were going to take the Oxford treatment of me and buy some of the oils. It works like a charm.

Madam:— My friends, and myself, think there is no other course like this one. We like it better and better. I can't help but smile whenever I open a box of Oxford Pressing Oil. My friends are always glad to hear of me making a new order; it is doing a wonderful work on some heads I deal with. Your agent, Miss Estella Young. I am compelled to say the Oxford hair preparations are among the best on the market, as you would certainly have heard from me in case your course of treating the scalp had not pleased or helped me. I think it no more than fair to let you know that the opposite is the case. Now, when I say that I am pleased with all that came to me from you, I am speaking the sentiments of my friends, for those that have received treatments assist me greatly in advertising my work. Now that I am out again I am determined to do all I can for the work. Yours truly, Miss Mayme Smith, Moss Point, Miss.

BASEBALL GIANTS TO MEET COLORED TEAM FROM SOUTHERN IL LINOIS SUNDAY The first colored team to visit St. Louis this season, will play the Giants at Kuebler's Park next Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. The Southern Illinois Giants, a fast aggregation of ball players, is the name of the visitors. The club is made up of men from the middle towns of Southwest Wichita and ranks as one of the best in the country. Manager Mills' speed boys gave the Diedrich Stars a good trimming in the two days' playing last Sunday and Monday; winning 12 to 0 and 15 to 1. The North St. Louis champions were no match for the Colored boys. Weather permitting, a big crowd should see the Illinois-Giants game Sunday. The park went through the seige of rain last Sunday without any worse results than the league parks. The drainage is first class. The Hyde Park Socks, a baseball team under the management of Henry Fluis, 4142 Fairfax, have organized and are ready to fill dates. The aggregation is made up principally of members of the old Kentucky Giants, of Brooklyn, Ill. The Simmons School baseball team will play the Lincoln High of East St. Louis, at Kuebler's Park, 6100 N. Broadway, today, Friday, at 4 p. m. Admission 10 cents. Lincoln Airdome Opoes To Crowd THE MUSICIAN "A grand success. The new Lincoln Airdome, 2620 N. Newstead Ave." (Elleraldsville). Under the management of Chas. A. Hunter and Louis R. May opened their 1915 season of high class entertainments consisting of five reels first run motion pictures and good music to 1,031 paid admissions. Taking the bad weather condition into consideration, this more than spells success. Good pictures, good music, good singing and good conduct is the program for the Lincoln this season, and when boiled down, strained and analized produces "Success" ($). The first installment of "Black Box" caught the good "villians" of Elleraldsville, consequently every Monday night will be a big "Black Box" night. Below is week's program: Monday, May 10, "2nd Episode The Black Box." Tuesday, May 11, "The Scourge of the Desert" (Western). Wednesday, May 12, "The Tennessee Hills," (Moonshiners). Thursday, May 13, "The Flower of Africa." Friday, May 14, "A Day That Is Dead." Saturday, May 15, "The Yellow Sheriff," Western. Sunday, May 16, Bubbling Water. One night in each week will be known as Chaplin Night, featuring "Chas. Chaplin" the funniest, most popular and highest salaried comedian of the day. Look for day and date of commencement of this treat of treats. Notice! Mr. Hunter has just made arrangements to product the $20,000 prize photo play, "The Diamond From The Sky," at an early date at the Lincoln Airdome. Do you want to win $10,000? If so try.

It seems, indeed as if his knowledge must come from that mysterious world of which we all would know, yet longing, cannot know. He looks far away into the dim mysterious future—the great beyond—across the dark chasm of the ocean, through the fitting soul—and that which is to be to be told.
