AFTERMATH OF THE ARTISTIC DREAMLAND BALL It is the general opinion that Miss Jeannette Mack's Dreamland Ball and dansant has done more to raise the social standard of the colored people in this vicinity than any affair of the kind that has been pulled off in the history of the city. The result is, that scores of citizens are flocking to this little lady's studio at 3336 Lawton to study the many dances which she teaches. Several new classes are in the making. The children's class on Saturday afternoons' bids fair to be the largest. Special arrangements have been made to accommodate out of town students during the summer, who wish to study the art. In the special mention of dancers, whose work was most conspicuous, in the Argus last week, the name of Miss Ruth Thompson was unintentionally omitted. Miss Thompson deserves much credit for her excellent work in leading the motor march. Many others deserve special consideration and it was no discredit to their work that space did not permit a complete review of the brilliant affair.

MONKEYING WITH A BUZZSAW From the Indianapolis Freeman The St. Louis Argus rejoices in the fact that the $10,000 suit against that publication ended with a verdict of one cent for the plaintiff. It says the press gang will gladly raise the necessary amount to settle the verdict. It's bad business monkeying with a buzz-saw. A newspaper is a most dangerous opponent. It can speak so loud. Homer speaks of some of the wounded in the Trojan war bellowing like bulls, so that they were heard over the roar of battle. That ain't a patchin' to the newspaper's voice. It talks in New York and is heard in California, and then some. We congratulate the Argus from the viewpoint of journalistic brotherhood. We are not in for crucifying the public, or individuals, nor do we think that the Argus or any other thoughtfully edited journal has that in view. We are not on to the nature of the quarrel, and, of course, run a risk in congratulating before we know the facts. However, we take a chance, thinking that the editor is just about the same as the rest of us, who do not think of using our advantage in maligning and making small of individuals. "PROVIDENT HOSPITAL ITEMS" Nurse Training Department will hold their commencement exercises June 4. There are four graduates. Watch the Argus for the program. Everybody is invited. Mrs. Sarah Washington, 3311 Franklin, underwent a very serious operation and is doing fine is now sitting up. Mr. Chas. Clark, 3239 Lucas, who has been confined here for three weeks, is now convalescing rapidly. Mr. Matthew Evans, 237 S. Leffingwell, is confined here for a few days. Mrs. Ella Williams, 318 S. Garrison Ave., underwent a very serious operation. She is improving rapidly. Mrs. Annie B. Key, Okmulgee, Okla., underwent an operation last week. She is doing very nicely. Mrs. Della Mitchell, 4541 Cottage, is rapidly recovering from a very serious operation. Dorothy Brefford, Webster Grove, Mo., Master Wilson Jeffers, 4038 Finney Ave., and Mr. Byrd Rankin, 3035 Chestnut, are recuperating nicely from serious operations. WINS FIRST PRIZE Mrs. Corinthia Wallace, 4145 Lucky St. wishes to thank her many friends for their support in helping her win the first prize offered by the Courts of Calanthe for selling the largest number of tickets during their recent bazaar, having sold $76.70 worth of tickets. First prize, a diamond lavaliere, Mrs. Wallace. NOTICE There will be a grand entertainment given by the Mosaics of St. Louis at A. U. K. and D. of A Hall, corner Lefflingwell and Pine, Monday, May 24. Refreshments and music in abundance. All attending are assured a nice time by the committee on arrangements. Admission, 10 cents. Come one, come all. A $25.00 diamond ring will be given away. Mrs. Powell, Chairman: Mesdames Banks and Gamble, Asst.: Mrs. James, Sec.: Mrs. Jones, Treas. We urgently request our subscribers to pay their pledges as soon as possible, that we may be enabled to begin improvement on our newly acquired site for a future home. More than enough money has been pledged to complete this work. Some of our well wishers have paid their subscriptions in full; some in part, while others have made no response at all. We are sorry to number among this latter class not the least prosperous of our race. May we not hear from them during the next month, partially, if not in full? Every dollar, or less, will help to increase this fund for the purpose of putting our new quarters in a creditable condition so that we may point to the Wheatley Branch of Y. W. C. A. of St. Louis with pride. Let every friend share in this great effort. Y. W. C. A. NOTES Don't forget "The Lady of Shalott" is to be rendered by our Choral Club Monday evening, June 7, at Berea Presbyterian Church. Miss Mable Story will be soloist for the evening. We were delighted to have as our speaker at our Sunday meeting Mrs. James H. Gordon, Superintendent of Howard Orphanage, Long Island, New York. Her talk is one that our girls shall not soon forget. The real joy and growth that come to one who truly gives herself in service for others were felt by everyone who heard Mrs. Gordon. After vespers an enjoyable social hour was spent. These after vesper social hours are always enjoyed by the girls. Watch for the announcement of our little girls' play, "Proserpina." It is a beautiful operetta, and educational. Every school child, as well as the older people, should see it. Sunday vespers will be held in our Association rooms. A pleasant social hour will be spent at the close of the services. You and your friends are invited to spend your Sunday afternoon hours with us. You will enjoy it. MEMORIAL EXERCISES OF BISHOP TURNER. Bishop Henry McNeil Turner, D. D., D. C. L., LL.

Hebron Rescue Home The managers of Hebron Rescue Home, the institution that is maintained for the reception and care of erring and delinquent girls and neglected children, made their first formal appeal to the general public for aid. The Home is situated at 2316 Morgan St., and the work and its management are open to inspection. The number of girls and neglected children cared for by this home from January 1, 1914, to December 31, 1914, totaled 254. Receipts for the year 1914...$1,137.97 Expense for the year.....1,162.95 Deficit for year.....$ 24.98 We have not been able to cancel the above amount. Owing to the high cost of living we are compelled to close the doors against many homeless girls, that are begging to come into a life of respectability and into the church. Day after day we are shutting out little neglected children, whose mothers are compelled to leave, and because they are unable to place them in institutions which demand pay, they are left to ruin. The service of the Home is entirely volunteer. Every cent donated to the work is applied to the care of the neglected and outcast. The Home is greatly in need of finances and is asking for one hundred dollars. The management believes the good people of St. Louis will not turn a deaf ear to their appeal, but will come to their aid, and give the much needed amount. All donors are asked to give name and address that they may be duly receipted. Mrs. Kate C. Vinegar, Pres. Mrs. Fannie M. Oliver, Supt. and Gen. Sec'y. Mr. Jos. P. Harris, Pres. Board of Trustees.

TEXT-Take ye away the stone-John 11:31 There are many stones of ignorance, perplexity, and belief which one encounters in Christian work, and it often requires great skill to remove them PETER Occasionally we meet a person who claims that there are so many conflicting opinions among Christians that he does not know what to believe. Remind him that the differences of opinion, as a rule, relate to minor matters, such as the mode of baptism or the method of church government, and not to the vital question of salvation. While they may differ some as to forms of worship and methods of government, it is foolish for one to allow his attention to be diverted to these side issues, and lose sight of the main question. Besides, it is an indication of mental laziness when one is not willing to search the Scriptures and form an opinion of his own. God has given us the Bible which reveals his will, and a mind capable of understanding it (John 20:31). God's will concerning the way of salvation is revealed so clearly that even a child can understand it. What excuse have we then for deferring our duty? We have no right to hold this matter of repentance in suspense simply because there are some things in the Bible which we do not understand. There always will be things in the Bible which we do not understand, and if we wait until all things are understood by us we shall never be saved. If we will obey that part of God's word we do understand, we will soon get light on some of the obscure things. I once met a man on the train who claimed to be a skeptic. He said there were so many different religions that he did not know what to believe. "One claims that we ought to worship Buddha and another Confucius. Some say that Mormonism is the true religion, and I suppose you would say that Jesus Christ was the only Saviour. In the midst of all these conflicting opinions, how is one to know what to believe?" I said to him, "My friend, did you ever embrace any one of those religions?" "No, sir." "You remember the fable about the horse which stood between two stacks of hay. He was about to take a bite from one when there came a small clover from the other so inviting that he hesitated; then he caught a whiff from the other which led him to turn again, and finally he starved to death between the two stacks, because he could not decide which to eat from. "Now m.; friend, are you not making the same mistake which the horse made? Here you stand in the midst of all these religions starving your soul because you do not know which one to choose. Had you not better embrace some one of them, and do it quickly? If you think that Buddhism is the most promising become a Buddhist. If you think Mormonism is from God, become a Mormon. If you find salvation from sin in these religions continue in them, but if not, then accept Christ as your Saviour, and I am sure you will find salvation in him. He is the truth; seek no further. But by all means embrace some religion, and do it quickly for you are starving your soul for the lack of some one to worship and obey." "I believe there is some truth in what you say," said the man, "but this is my station and I must leave you. I am glad we have had this conversation and I hope we shall meet again." Apparently the man was convinced of his mistake, and was becoming interested, but he was leaving the car and what could I do? I thought of the little package of leaflets which I usually carry, and selecting a couple I rushed out on the platform and gave them to him. One was the Christian life card, and the other was a leaflet written by Dr. J. W. Chickering of Washington, D. C. Before he died the author had the names of over seventeen hundred people who had written him or told him personally that they attributed their conversions to this tract. Daniel Webster states his position very clearly in a letter written to a friend: "I believe that God exists in three persons; this I learn from revelation alone. Nor is it any objection to this belief that I cannot comprehend how one can be three, or three one. I hold it my duty to believe, not what I can comprehend or account for, but what my maker teaches me. I believe religion to be a matter not of demonstration, but of faith. God requires us to give credit to the truth which he reveals, not because we can prove them, but because he reveals them." Attach thyself to the good and then will become one of them—Cervantes. ST. LOUIS ARGUS INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL (BY R. O. SHELBERS, Acting Director of Sunday School Course, The Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, IL) DAVID KING OVER JUDAH AND ISRAEL. LESSON TEXT—II Samuel 2:1-7; 6:1-5. GOLDEN TEXT—Jehovah is my strength and my shield; my heart hath trusted him, and I am helped—Pa. Sif R.V. Saul ceased from pursuing David (I Samuel 27:4) when he died into the land of the Philistines for he feared them greatly (I Sam. 28:5, 6). David fought with Saul's enemies but nevertheless was not wanted (29:6-11). His wives being taken captive, he, with 400 men destroyed Ziklag, sending the spoil to his friends in Judah (I Sam. 30). Following the death of Saul and Jonathan (II Sam. chapter 1) we read David (II Sam. chapter 1) David wonderful lament (ch. 2). I. David. King of Judah. (1) David's Kingdom, ch. 2:18. It is now seven or eight years since Samuel anointed the young shepherd to be king in Saul's place. David was probably twenty-nine years of age. He had now a fourfold assurance of his throne (a) God's decree (I Sam. 16:11-13); (b) The death of Saul (gh. 1:4); (c) God's command (v. 1), and (d) The choice of the people (v. 4). His every step seems to have been led of God, therefore he had made no false moves (James 1:5-7, see also Ps. 19:18, 14). How God by means of the stones in the priest's breastplate made known his will we are not told and it is idle to speculate. We have a better way, the inspired word and the living spirit through which we may receive guidance. Such guidance is conditioned upon obedience (I Sam. 28:6; Acts 5:23). God directed David, after Saul's death to "go up" to Hebron, which means "fellowship." It was here that Abraham, the man of faith, had lived. David thus began his conquest of the land in fellowship with God. David implicitly obeyed God's decree (v. 2), took his family with him and also brought his men with their households. This is a suggestion relative to household fellowship with God. They left nothing behind to lure them back as Lot was lured when he left Sodom. These men had been David's partners in his adversity and are now to share in his glory (Luke 22:28, 29; II Tim. 2:12; Rom. 8:17, 18). (2) David's Diplomacy, 2:5-7. It was good politics for David to honor these men of 'Jabeh, yet he was honest and sincere for he honored Saul as his rightful and God-annoted sovereign (I Sam. 24:4:8; 26:7:11). These men had shown kindness to Saul and now Jehovah would show kindness to them (v. 6). As we sow we reap (Matt. 5:7; 6:14, 15; II Tim. 1:16-18). David took pains to inform them that he had been chosen king but assures them that he would strengthen them. As they had been faithful to Saul, let them support the one who had been anointed in his stead. To have adopted any other policy would have alienated their support. (3) Ish-bosheth's Kingdom, 2:811. As contrasted with this God-directed kingdom of David's was the man-directed kingdom of Ish-bosheth. His name means, "name of shame." He was about forty years of age. Saul's oldest son, but not his intended successor. Ish-bosheth was: (a) selected by man (v. 3); (b) ruled by man (v. 9) and (c) made war upon God's elect (x. 17, ch. 3:1). He only reigned two years and his kingdom in the northern part of the land was separated from that of David by that portion in the center controlled by the Philistines. Abner's untimely death at the hand of Joab (ch. 3) deprived Ish-bosheth of a leader. He was slain by his own servants and his, kingdom became a part of David's. II. David, King of Israel, 5:13. David passed through seven and one-half years of delay in his progress towards the throne. It was not long after Ish-bosheth's death that a great assembly met at Hebron. It was a truly national gathering. Every tribe sent soldiers—280,000 in all—and the elders of the people were the spokesmen. They proclaimed David "bone of their bone" (v. 1) and that even while Saul was king, David had been their real shepherd (v. 12). But better still, they recognised David as God's chosen successor to Saul and proclaimed to all men that they had loyally accepted his choice. The story of David's conquest of Jerusalem and the establishment of the seat of his government at that place is interesting and suggestive and should be studied before next Sunday's lesson is considered. After being anointed in Hebron David began at once to subdue the land. Thus we see the leece tribal government molded into a powerful, dominant and respected kingdom. David was (1) Patient, awaiting God's time; (2) Energetic; (3) Courageous; (4) Tactical; (5) Trusting; (6) Loyal to friends and to God; (7) Patriotic; (8) Obedient, and above all; (9) Respectful, for we read, "the Lord is with him" (I Sam. 10:18), and, "David wamed greater and greater; for the Lord, the God of hosta, was with him" (II Sam. 5:10). These principles, faithfully adhered to will bring success in A. D. 1915 as well as B. C. 1929.

"FRAM Gouveneur Morris- AMONG all the framers of the Constitution of the United States none were more adept at constructive statesmanship than the "father of the American decimal system" and originator of the copper cent. The finish, style and arrangement of the Constitution fairly belong to the brilliant and eloquent Morris. From his youth to the hour of his death he was a devoted and dauntless worker for American progress. His unrivaled ability as an orator was known throughout Europe, and his funeral orations on Washington, Clinton and Hamilton are treasured American classics. Gouveneur Morris was an indomitable supporter of the Louisiana Purchase. He it was who rescued LaFayette from prison walls and aided him from his private purse. Personally he was very handsome; his nature was impulsive, but his heart was warm and Pinters to St. Louis are cour- tually invited to inspect our plant— coverts 143 acres.

THE NEED OF CHURCH UNION Satanic forces are seeking the nation's ruin. Christian forces are set for her defense. Force faces force. The issues are joined. The conflict is on, and is irresistible—it is a life and death struggle. The church herself cannot escape. She has no option—she must fight. Retreat means defeat. This momentous battle will decide whether the church is stronger than the opposition. The church is on trial. She will never have a fairer chance. Numbers, wealth, social standing are on her side. Now is the time and here is the place to vindicate her august, transcendant claims. If she cannot triumph here and now, when and where can she triumph? With such Satanic forces and conditions facing her, how is it that the church, decrying all other remedies, is failing to apply her own? What means this degeneracy in modern times, which the church seems incapable of arresting? Why is it, that vices and corruption are spreading with terrific rapidity, to which the church is offering only a feeble barrier? All sorts of evils are on the increase—the power of the saloon increasing; discontent among wage-earners increasing; the breach between the masses and classes increasing; the suspicion and hatred of the churches increasing; poverty and crime, immorality and gambling, skepticism and materialism, all increasing. But so is membership in the churches increasing; so are Christian intelligence and respectability increasing. Then why under the sun is not our political and moral salvation increasing? What is the matter with the church that she stands helpless in the face of these corrupting and destroying forces? The answer to these thunder-clap questions is that the church lacks organization. She fights in a sporadic way, through individual churches, fighting The generalship is all on the other side. The evils which assail the nation or the race are all organized and allied. So are all the great factors of civilization—war, commerce, business, politics, education—everything, except religion. Is it any wonder that increase of numbers and wealth and culture have not given the church the victory, when she will not federate for great, common offensive and defensive purposes? The vital need of the hour in this city and for our race is church union; not a union of unit-warm forms, but of spirit and endeavor. Whether we shall ever have, or had better have, a common creed to express our faith, or a uniform service to carry out our worship, is a question. But if the church is to dominate this city—nay, if it is to survive at all, she must bind her followers together in triumphant co-operation and swing them into battle line under a common banner and against the common enemy. She must cry as Wellington did at Waterloo: "Let there be an advance all along the line. Up guards, and at them!" The political framework of this country supplies a suggestive model. The national union is composed of forty-eight states. Each of these is made up of many cities and towns. Each city and town is a separate municipality, making its own laws and electing its own officials. All together they make and support the state. Each state is a sovereign and independent government, making its own laws and electing its own officials. All the states together make and support the Union. The Union is a complete government, making its own laws and electing its own officials. Here, then, is a federation of all the units for a common defensive and offensive purpose. And this federation has taken for its motto: "E PLURIBUS UNUM"—"Out of many, one." "In union there is strength." CONCERNING THE PARKWAY What should be the Negro's attitude towards the Parkway? He should unhesitatingly favor it. 'When can he officially express himself in the question? At the special election to be held June 8. Will the Parkway benefit the Negro? Yes. Why? Because, first, it will benefit the city of St. Louis. Second, because in forcing the Negro out of his present business district and quarters, he will of necessity better his conditions. In readjusting, he will profit by experience. Third, property owners in the path of the proposed Parkway will be well paid for their property. And fourth, should the plan be defeated at the June election, the Negro will have put himself on record as a progressive citizen and as an advocate of "The City Beautiful." Does the Parkway mean segregation? Not at all. This is a political "bug-a-boo" designed to discourage the Negro vote. Are the Parkway advocates segregationists? Not one. The leading progressive citizens who favor the Parkway are on record as decidedly against segregation. Who are the leading segregationists? Certain politicians and real estate speculators who, for ulterior purposes, are against the Parkway.

COMED AND BE CONVINCED LAST ATTENDANT Old Loom in New York, New York, 120 Years, Joliet, Illinois Saturday 8:00 AM And by Saturday afternoon Here are some worth while recipes and ways of preparing food that will give a different flavor to the vinaigrette: Take a small quantity of boiled red, fake fine, add enough mayonnaise to make spreading paste, spread on lettuce-leaf between rye aloes. Salmon and tuna fish may be fixed in the same way, or instead of the mayonnaise add enough catchup and seasoning to make the paste. Cold boiled lobster, cold boiled shrimp may be shredded or cut fine and prepared in the same way. Many will like them with the French dressing, however, rather than the mayonnaise. Game—Minced chicken, guinea fowl or turkey are good mixed with a tiny bit of chowchow, sweet pickle, current jelly or orange marmalade, as well as with good mayonnaise made with mustard. Meats—All cold meats, thinly sliced or minced, are acceptable with any of the dressings, or lightly spreading the bread with apple sance before laying on the sliced meat. Vegetables—French peas that have been stewed, mashed to a paste, seasoned to taste, lighted with a little whipped cream and a teaspoonful of chopped ham or tongue make an excellent filling. The macedoine of vegetables, drained and finely chopped, mixed with mayonnaise, is good. Grated with onion with a little finely minced cold roast beef, pepper and salt and a few drops of mustard dressing it is quite appetizing if one likes onion. Cheese and Sweets—Combinations with cream cheese which has been softened with whipped cream are numerous. Little finely chopped preserved ginger and a tablespoonful of the syrup mixed to a spreading paste; purée of chestnuts mixed with the cheese, orange marmalade, bar-le-dec, a little of any of the preserved fruits, or finely chopped fresh fruit may be blended with the cheese. If needed, a little mayonnaise or whipped cream may be used to bind the paste. A little grated cheese sprinkled on triscuits, then placed in an oven for a minute or two to melt, with another triacuit placed on it, are frail to carry out, but very nice sandwiches. Pumpkin Pudding.—Into a pht of stewed pumpkin beat the whipped yolks of five eggs, two-plats of milk, three-fourths of a cupful of sugar and half a teaspoonful each of powdered mace, nutmeg and cinnamon. Last of all stir in lightly the stiffly beaten whites of five eggs, turn the mixture into a buttered pudding dish and bake until set. Serve hot with a hard sauce. What Any Cook Knows. Never throw away cake, no matter how dry—but the next time you bake a custard slice it on top before putting into the oven. This makes a delicious caramel crust. To remove fruit stains from tablecloths and serviettes apply powdered starch to the stained parts, and leave for several hours till all the discoloration has been absorbed by the starch. Always put scrubbing brushes to dry with bristles face downward. This lengthens their lives considerably, as if dried, the other way the moisture naturally soaks into the wood and rots the bristles. Broad Pancakes Cut the crusts from stale bread and break in bits, cover with sour milk and set aside over night. In the morning add one level teaspoonful of soda to each pint of the bread and milk mixture; beat until it is smooth and foamy. You may need to add some sweet milk to make the batter thin enough. Season with salt and fry on griddles. If eggs are added to the above the cakes are much like omelets and are very fine with jelly between them. Potatoes a la Milagrosa Take as many potatoes as are required. Choose large ones, bake them till soft, then cut off the tops and scoop out the insides. Rub the potato through a sieve and add a tablespoonful of grated cheese, pepper and salt. Melt one ounce of butter in a stewpan, stir in the potatoes and make it hot, then fill the cases with it and put them in the oven for a few minutes. Serve very hot. Crullers. Mix a cupful of sugar, three tablespoons of butter, a cupful of cream, three captains of flour mixed with two teaspoons of salt. If more flour is needed for a soft dough add it. Roll the dough out and cut in two-inch squares. Flush with a jagging iron or a knife, fry, drain and roll in sugar.

When you don't feel like going to Forest Park Highlands, come to the Garden Airdome where you are always welcome. (Blood is thicker than water.) How many white odeons on Market St. employ colored help?—All of our employees are Colored. We spent Eight Hundred Dollars in improvements, and every dollar was paid to Colored workmen. How many white odeans on Market St. have done as much for the race? If you think you are doing right by spending all of your nickles in white odeons, let your daughter apply for a position as Cashier at one of them; and please let us know if she gets the position.

CLAIR'S SPECIAL 35 CT. 4102 Finney Avenue 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. 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 or 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. Thanking you for what you have done for me, and looking to do something for you in the future. Hair Culture Oxford College Dear Madam: 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. Your agent, Mrs. Muriel Hall, Tampa, Fla. 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 truly say, it is the real thing and does the work. And I will say to all ladies, let us 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. Yours truly, G. E. Bostwick, Murphysbero, Ill. Yours very truly, (Miss) Peoria Black, Parsons, Kan. Dear Sir:— LOUIS ARGUS 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 Ojl. 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. 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 "FORSHAW" REPAIRS FOR "ANY OLD" STOVE 111 NORTH 12th STREET CENTRAL 3491-R MAIN 2043 NOTICE!

LOUIS BIRDIE BEAL, PIQNEER LADY EMBALMER A long stride of progress in the proper direction has been made by Birdie Beal, and she is deserving of the cordial encouragement of all the members of her race and sex. Miss Beal is the only colored lady embalmer in the city of St. Louis or state of Missouri, having successfully passed the required examination before the Board of Examiners in November, and is prepared to render first-class service to ladies. Having been well trained and having been authorized by the commonwealth, she must indeed be competent, and those who avail themselves of her services may rest assured that she will faithfully and intelligently perform her duties in a thoroughly womanly manner. Miss Beal wishes to thank her many friends for the service rendered in trying to protect her race and sex. Miss Beal, since completing the course, has opened as lady undertaker at 2726 Lucas Avenue, connected with her father, A. L. Beal, and has had charge of eighteen lady funerals, which was very much satisfaction to the deceased families. Open day and night. Central 5048; carriages furnished for all occasions. Bomont 2726. A.

BASEBALL NEBRASKA INDIAN TEAM WILL PLAY GIANTS SUNDAY AND MONDAY The Indians are coming! The Nebraska Indian Baseball Team will meet the Giants at Kuebler's Park, Sunday and Monday, the 23d and 24th. St. Louisans have long been waiting for a real baseball game and now the fans age to get their due. The Indians are rated one of the strongest traveling teams in the country and should give Manager Mills' speed boys a hard tussel. Both games will start at 3 o'clock sharp. Weather permitting, the largest crowds of the season should witness the two contests. "String Beans" Williams, the Giants' sensational twirler, will be on the mound Sunday and a good game should be the result. The Giants made 41 runs in 12 innings against their two opponents last Sunday. In the seven games the Giants have played they have made 128 runs to their opponents 7. Now for real baseball. The new city league, to play Saturday afternoon games, has been organized. Besides Charlie Mills' Giants, which is the only colored team, the league will consist of the East St. Louis Giants, Alpen Braus, and Miller's All Stars. The officers are Chas. Slack, Pres.: Conrad Kuebler, Sec.-Treas. The opening game will be at Polo Park, East St. Louis, Saturday, June 19. On May 26 and 27, the Giants will play an all star team of Elks at the meeting of the Grand Lodge of Elks, in East St. Louis, at Polo Park. May 29, the Giants will play the Southern Commercials at Mannion's Park, South St. Louis. HAMMITT C.

So get this fact imbedded in your noodle and become a regular "Lincoln Airdome" patron. That is, if you like pictures and want to see pictures that startle and thrill you, pictures that will convulse you with laughter. Glance over this array of special features: Monday nights, "Black Box;" Wednesday nights, "Exploits of Elaine; or the Clutching Hand;" Thursday nights, Charlie Chaplin and Lucille Love; Saturday nights, beginning Saturday, May 29, "Diamond From the Sky." On Monday, May 24, (Black Box night), we will give an instructive and interesting souvenir to each boy and girl entering the Lincoln Airdome (Lottie Pickfort dolls to girls and caps to boys).

General admission, 5 cents. 5,000 PERSONS DRAW FIRST PAY AT BOOKER WASHINGTON New Innovation Last Monday Attracts People From All Over City. Every Monday Will be Pay Day From early evening until the last show was out, Monday night, the Booker Washington Theater was packed with patrons and a steady stream of humanity was passing the ticket office. The magnet was Mr. Turpin's new innovation, "Pay Day." Everyone who entered received an envelope containing their pay. This consisted of real money from 1 cent to $5. It is said that 5,000 persons attended. Some were seen to enter more than once. One little lad paid his way five times and quit ahead of the house. Everyone seemed satisfied. We understand that the envelopes contained $85 in cash besides several hundred tickets of admission. Every Monday hereafter will be pay day. The show this week is up to the average. Singleton and his saxaphone open the bill with a repertoire of good selections, closing with the Memphis Blues. Mable Gant and Alberta Perkins, two lively girls, have a good act of singing, dancing and talking, and score a hit. Alice Ramsey, handsome as ever and well costumed, sings several songs and dances in her original eccentric way. As usual, she is well costumed. Glenn and Brogedale, in a new act, are as comical as ever and take the house by storm with their character work and eccentric antics.

Hawkins, Sees Bright Future For Agents That the Clover Leaf Casualty Co., of Jacksonville, Ill., is forging its way to the front and in the hearts of St. Louisans is becoming more evident every day. It was the writer's pleasure to call at the local office, located at 2359 Market St., a few days ago, and finding an opportunity to speak at some length with the District Manager, Mr. E. Hawkins, relative to the operation of this company in the city. Mr. Hawkins, who was very busy, said that all he wished to say concerning the company was that they were paying their claims and forging to the front. And as evidence of that fact he pulled from a drawer a list of claims that had been paid through the local office about eight feet long with the names of a large number of business and professional men, and in fact men and women of all classes who had been disabled and had been benefited by receiving their money promptly. When asked what he thought of other companies doing the same kind of business among colored people, Mr. Hawkins produced a list of ten agents directly under him who are employed by the Clover Leaf, and said, "Where is another company in this city that has as many colored men employed?" The Clover Leaf is making places for our men. They have a young woman employed as clerk and cashier, a very responsible position, which she fills with credit. "I have nothing to say against any other company. I am a booster and have no time to knock. A knocker never won anything by knocking." We found Mr. Hawkins very optimistic on the question of the future for colored insurance agents in this city and said that though the company was always willing to promote and encourage the agents to go to other cities where they might have full charge of a district, he was loath to give up anyone of his force on account of the peace and harmony that exist among them at present.
