MAYOR OF CHICAGO APPOINTS NEGROES POLITICAL TREE FULL OF PLUMS FOR REPUBLICAN WORKERS. MINISTER GETS $2,400 JOB. FIRST ASSISTANT CORPORATION ATTORNEY WILL RECEIVE $5,000. 120 MEN ON POLICE FORCE. NOTHING DOING HERE Same Voting Strength in St. Louis Rewarded with One Minor Position Paying Only $2,000 Salary The following article by Cary B. Lewis, Chicago, correspondent to the Indianapolis Freeman, has caused considerable comment among voters and political leaders in this city. Chicago, Ill.—"Another 'plum' fell from the Thompson administration tree. This time it was for the Rev. A. J. Carey, pastor of Institutional A. M. E. Church. Dr. Carey is to be an investigator in the corporation's office, at a salary of $2,400. The biggest appointment is yet to be announced, says rumor at the City Hall. It has already been offered, is the report that has reached the Freeman representative. The man is Attorney Edward H. Wright, first assistant corporation, salary $5,000 per year. It is also stated that Hon. Edward H. Morris will be made a member of one of the boards. These appointments are made because of the support given Mayor Thompson by members of the race during his campaign in the primary and election. Messrs. Tipper and Humphry have been given places paying $100 per month. With Anderson, Wright, Carey, Morris and others in the Thompson cabinet, it is expected that the claim of the negro will have a fair and impartial show in all things civic and political. "By taking the Civil Service Examination, Chicago, leads all other cities in the country in number of colored policemen. There are one lieutenant, ten sergeants and 120 patrolmen. There have been colored men on the force for a number of years, but this is the highest yet. They take the examination, qualify and are given appointments. They make splendid officers and rank among the best in the service. There is some talk of putting Lieut. Childs out South. There is also one company of fireman. No. 21, manned by men of the race." An Argus reporter asked a prominent political leader why similar positions and such recognition could not be obtained in St. Louis. The response was: "The negroes of St. Louis are justly entitled to the same kind of recognition the negroes of Chicago have attained. The negro population of the two cities and the voting strength is about equal, but there is a striking difference in the personality of the mayors of the respective cities. The mayor of Chicago made promises to the negro voters, which, when made, he intended to keep, and did not forget these promises after his election. The mayor of St. Louis made promises similar to those made by Mayor Thompson, of Chicago, evidently, with no intention of keeping them. Efforts have been made to have the mayor, of this city keep these promises and distribute a few plums among the negro voters, but to no avail. All that the colored voters have been able to get from the present mayor is one minor place in the office of city counselor. The only St. Louis appointment is worth $2,000 a year against $12,000 for the same number of votes in Chicago, and when Mayor Thompson has completed his recognition Chicago appointees will be receiving $20,000 or more annually. DR. F. F. MARTYN TO REMAIN IN ST. LOUIS The pastor of the First Baptist Church, Dr. F. F. Martyn, announced last Sunday morning, to a congregation that filled the big auditorium, that he would set at rest all doubts and speculation as to his remaining in St. Louis. He said he is going to stay here as long as the people of St. Louis want him, and will remain pastor of the First Church until the members tell him to go. Dr. and Mrs. Martyn have secured a home at 4351 West Belle and are now housekeeping. The First Church members were very jubilant Sunday to learn that their beloved and popular pastor will remain with them permanently. MORNING STAR CLASS ENTERTAINS The Morning Star Class of Lane Tabernaacle Church, entertained its members and friends last Thursday evening with an interesting program, after which ice cream and cake were Booker T. Washington in Report from Tuskegee Says First Six Months of 1915 Has Broken the Record. Georgia Heads Column. Negroes Lynched for Petty Offenses. New York, July 18.—Tuskegee Institute of Alabama has compiled, the records of the number of lynchings in the United States during the first six months of this year. In a statement given today, Booker T. Washington, the head of the Institute, shows that thirty-four men were put to death by mob violence since January 1, 1915, the number being thirteen more than the figures for the same period last year. Twenty-four of the men lynched were Negroes and ten were whites. Eight, or one-fourth of the total number, took place in Georgia. Six of the Negroes and one white man were charged with assaulting women, and the rest of the lynchings were on accusations of having stolen cotton, hogs, meat and cows. SENATOR STONE HAS CHICK EN DINNER AS GUEST OF A NEGRO. Jefferson City, Mo., July 18.—Alex. Slater, Negro Democratic politician and janitor for the secretary of state, gave a fried chicken dinner for Senator William Joel Stone, Saturday in the senator's office at the Capitol. Senator Stone had just finished his correspondence preparatory to going to a restaurant for luncheon, when Slater appeared with a big plate of smoking-hot, golden-brown fried chicken, a big pitcher of fresh country buttermilk in which the ice was clinking, and a pone of corn bread of the old-fashioned variety. Stone invited Mrs. W. A. Morrow, Miss Simpson and W. R. Hollister, his secretary, to share the repast. Slater stood at his elbow, rephanning the senator's plate with chicken as it was rapidly emptied, and keeping his glass filled with buttermilk. When governor, Senator Stone gave Slater his first job at the State Capitol. MME. C. J. WALKER, OF INDIANAPOLIS, IND. Who Spoke at St. Paul Monday Night, and a Visitor at the Silver Jubilee ALL SAINTS RECTOR COMMENTS ON ARGUS EDITORIAL Rev. C. M. C. Mason, rector of All Saints Episcopal Church, commented last Sunday on the editorial appearing in the Argus referring to Needs of St. Louis. Rev. Mason has but recently returned from a visit through the East, and he told his congregation that he, too, regretfully noted, by comparison, the defects of the St. Louis Negro in all lines of religious, civic, political and commercial advancement; that unity, pride and federation were woefully lacking. He requested his hearers to read the Argus editorial that it may inspire them to a determination to overcome the handicap under which we are now laboring.

Out of the question that indicated Peter's positioa grow some helpful suggestions. Companionship Indicates Discipleship. If Peter was with Jesus he was prima facte his disciple. When Jesus was gathering his disciples his fre quent word was, “Follow me.” We read that Matthew ‘teft~22 and fol: lowed: Jesus, and so with other disci- ples. “Sell that thou hast and fol- low me." “Whosoever will come after me Jet him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.” We find that the disciples attached themselves to the person of Jesus because they were his disciples or learners, keeping within ‘easy reach of the ‘great teacher's volce. Jesus Christ does hot ask this mark of discipléshfp with- out guaranty of reciprocal companton- ship. He fulfilled to ‘the letter the promise, “I will never leave thee nor forsake thee.” Disciple Cannot Escape Recognition. Christians are marked men, not with the stigma such as St. Francis fan- cied he carried, but with marks easily discovered by the world. A professor in ® theological seminary, addressin a ‘new class cntering the inatitutlont startled them by~saying, “You are msrked men.” They soon found out that on the streets, in the stores, in social circles and elsewhere, they were recognized as theologues. The disciples of Christ are usually marked by a public union with the Christian church and thus recognized as church members. The world primarily under stands that church-membership means true discipleship, however false many ehurch members are to their vows; yet the least distinguishing mark of the Christian is his profession: He must bear about with him every day the marks of the Lord Jesus as Paul aid. He must be always doing the will of God, going about doing good, mant- festing his true character as a servant of all, and showing the spirit of self- sacrifice, even unto death. Test of Discipleship. ‘The test of Peter's discipleship here was the jnost trying one that could have been put on him, and at the same time ft gave him an opportunity of showing the true fiber of his character and thus proclaiming hig loyalty to his master. It is not difficult to be a Christian on the Lord's day or in the revival meeting, but it is difficult tohea Christian when one {s surrounded by drunkards, profane swearers and the licentious, It was & hard thing for = dellever to be a Christian in Rome, for that city was infamous in its im- morality. It was hard for Peter to be sincere where he was, and this diffcuk ty primarily had its root in his folly tm being where he ought not to have been. The greatest pains the Chris tlan suffers are the reproofs he. re cetves from the world because of his inconsistencies, There is a peculiar delight among the people of the world im casting up the inconsistencies of Christians to them. Peter was true enough in the garden, but before the servants he was as false as a man could be. He was brave enough in the garden, but before the kitchen maid he was timid. But it is before the world that the .best.testimony can be made, indeed, it |is the\Christian’s business to witness 1n a world of sin. The testimony of the master himself was given in the world, and for two ‘thousand years that testimony has‘stool and ts ag ef- fective today as when first given.

To teach this lesson properly refer- ence must be made to the building of the temple:(ch, 8), to the building of Solomon's palace and that for his Agyptian wife (ch. 7), and also to the renewal of the ark from the “tent of meeting,” in Zion, to its new dwelling place in the temple, The time con- sumed in erecting the temple (seven years, I Kings 8:38), the namber of men . employed (approximately 150,- 000), and the skill and magnificence of the building (I Kings 6:7) will serve as an {pteresting introduction to the dedication ‘ceremonies proper. ‘Those preset on this occasion are suggested in, eerses.. tent and-thren;-"the~tinie consumed waa seven days (v. 66) ant the condition of Solomon's heart ¢v, 5) 4s seen in the multitude of his sacrt fices. The temple marks the begin- ning of a new era in Hebrew history, one of great outward glory, though it was not one of inward strength as the speedy breaking up of the king- dom and the final captivities give evi- dence. Professor Beecher sets the date of thts event as being “about the twelfth year of ‘s relgn—say 1012 BG." There has probably not been in all time a sacred building its equal for magnificence or situation. Read any good Bible dictionary for its description. It ts a type of the Chris- tian (E Cor 3:10-16), 1. Solomon's Veneration, vv, 2224, Solomon's temple was a place of sacri- fice but more than all {t was a house of prayer (Matt, 21:18) and his dedi- catory prayer is:the longest prayer recorded in. the Scriptures, In it is to be found no mention of the temple as a place of sacrifice, yet no prayer {s heard apart from sacrifice. Each article of the temple furniture had its special teaching but the greatest teach- ing of all was that of God's proximity and his readiness'to hear the petitions of his servants. Solomon personally brought bis thanks and his petition before the altar. whereoi lay the sacri- fice (see Heb. 9:22; 10:19, 20; John 14:6), and even there he “spread forth his hands” in token of supplication. adoration and worship. We can “come boldly to throne of grace” and need ‘ot priest “or sacrament; for-wo-hxve oue who “ever liveth to intercede for us,” Christ Jesus. 4 I. God's. Word ‘Verified, vv. 25, 26. Solomon repeatedly referred to the fact that he has fulfilled God's prom- ise to bis father David in- building the temple. God is a covenant-keep- ing God. Upon. this fact Solomon voices his plea for future blessings. Every part of this prayer is worthy of careful. study. Solomon's “there- fore" (v, 25) reveals his acceptance of God's words to David -(ch. 2:4). This word of Jehovah is sure and steadfast (Jer, 33:17-26) and Solomon's use of God's promise (2 Sam. 7:12-16) is an exhortation to us that wo base our petitions upon some one of God's promises, Praying thus we can rest. asaured that our prayer {s in the will of God and therefore that it will be heard (I John 5:14, 15). III. God's Vision, vv. 27-30. See also 2 Chron. 7:1-8,-12-22; 1 Kings 9:1.9. As the king concluded his prayer the cloud resting over the holy of holies grew bright and dazzling gnd fire fell upon and consumed the sacrifices; the priests stood’ without in awe and amazement. the whole People fell upon. their faces, and worshiped and praised Jehovah. Even with all of this special manifestation Solomon did not’ con- @ive of Jehovah a “local, tribal: déity.” Earth could not contain him, nor the heaven and the heaven of heavens (v. 27). God fills the whole universe (Ps, 129:7-16) yet he did and does give us-spécial local manifesta- tions of himself, Jt is this same vast God who dwelt fully in Jesus Cheist (Jobn 1:14; Col, 2:9), “Will (such a) God indeed dwell on the earth!” He who crested the universe?

But if there is none with enough re, then let a Northerner introduce such a section of Congress. We, we call upon our local branches of the N. A. A. C. P. to get into immediate touch organizations and urge a nation-wide agitation of federal offense. A GRAND OPPORTUNITY FOR SOME CONGRESSMAN In introducing any new measure before Congress for enactment into law, a congressman is very apt to consent only the wishes of his constitutents. If the measure he has in mind would be unpopular to the district he represents, it is rarely that a congressman is bold enough to stand on principle and propose his measure nevertheless. He may not be re-elected. It is well enough for the statesman of the past to say: "I would rather be right than be president!" But the modern statesman would rather be congressman than be right. All of which means just this. There is, without doubt, some representative from a Southern district who personally is opposed to the lynching of Negroes. Lynching is peculiar to the South. Down there it is just as much a habit as voting the Democratic ticket. It is common enough to hear the Southerner say that the rights of the Negro are zealously guarded and regarded. But upon the slightest provocation, he will grab his rifle, pull down his slouch hat and turn up his coat collar and join the mob in burning, or hanging, or riddling a poor Negro—innocent or guilty. This habitual lynching business has come to a pass where the Federal government ought to take a hand. As we said last week, it should be made a federal offense, and that without further delay. As it is contrary to the boasted American spirit of fairness and in direct violation of the American Constitution, it is a stab in the heart of the nation. Here is the grand opportunity for some congressman to render a real service to his age and immortalize his own name. What though he fail of re-election! If his district spurns him, his nation will honor him. We believe that, at heart, the nation is opposed to lynching. We believe that the American people as a whole consider lynching a civil crime, a moral sin, a national disgrace and the work of cowards. All that is needed is to mold this sentiment into a concrete expression. It would be a magnificent thing coming from a Southern Congressman. But if there is none with enough moral sense and backbone, then let a Northerner introduce such a measure at the next session of Congress. Meantime, we call upon our local branches of the Business League and N. A. A. C. P. to get into immediate touch with their national organizations and urge a nation-wide agitation to make lynching a federal offense.

Just a few weeks ago the Supreme Court of the United States handed down a decision making void the "grandfather clause" in the several Southern states. The Negro generally was well pleased and rejoiced over the victory, without apparent thought of the cost. The cost was great. It took time and money to win. We have other battles to fight, yes, right here in our own city. A few months ago, when the question of segregation first came up, we did manage to marshall a few of our forces together under the direction of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and we believe much good was accomplished. But now the question of segregation is making its appearance again. Awake! N. A. A. C. P., get yourself together. Rally all your forces. We cannot afford to sleep or let up now. We make this call for every man and woman who believes in right and justice to join in this movement. A call no doubt will be issued by the N. A. A. C. P. in a few days for a meeting.

The first is commendable to the fewive borne the brunt of the struggle. The so because the physicians should be the active as the minister is the leading spirit of the coeasily rectified. We cannot believe that St. hospital closed. We know there is a lack of Unfortunately, the Provident Hospital has been a problem ever since its establishment. There are three conspicuous reasons for this fact: First, St. Louisians have always been satisfied to permit a few charitable citizens to bear the responsibility for its existence; second, it has not been favored with the co-operative support of the physicians, and third, the public has not clearly understood its value and needs. The first is commendable to the few loyal citizens who have borne the brunt of the struggle. The second is deplorable, because the physicians should be the active heads of a hospital just as the minister is the leading spirit of the church. The third can be easily rectified. We cannot believe that St. Louisians wish the hospital closed. We know there is a lack of knowledge regarding its essential needs. Many, a great many, believe a hospital should be self-sustaining. Few realize the fact that no institution of the kind, from the smallest to the largest, can or does exist on its fees alone. Millions of dollars are poured into the hospitals of the country annually for their maintenance. For this need we have a Saturday and Sunday hospital collection each year. To properly maintain our hospital in its present quarters it should have a contribution of $5,000 a year besides the fees. Churches, societies and individuals should not only strive to retain this institution, but should enlarge its service. Let us get together. Providence Hospital shall not be closed. When you enter the agricultural department of the county fair, you feel your soul uplifted and your life takes on a new power—that is the inspiration of the soil. You are overpowered by the grandeur and magnificence of the scene—that is the spirit of the harvest. You can hear the voice of nature calling you back to the soil—that is opportunity knocking as your door. It is a good chance to spend a quiet hour in contact with the purity and perfection of nature and to sweeten your life with its fragrance, elevate your ideals with its beauty and expand your imagination with its power. These products as food are fit for the gods, and as an article of commerce they ought to bring tip-top prices on any market in the world. The products of the soil are teachers and preachers as well. Their beauty gives human life its first entertainment, their perfection stirs the genius in artists; their purity furnishes models for growth of character and their marvelous achievements excite our curiosity and we inquire into the wonderful process of nature. Before leaving the parlor of agriculture where nature is parading in her most graceful attire and science is climbing the giddy heights of perfection, let us pause and take a retrospective view. How many, of you know that after these wonderful products are raised, they can seldom be marketed at a profit? Take the blushing Elberta, for example—they were fed to the hogs by the carloid last year. The onion—the nation's favorite vegetable—every year rots by the acre in the Southwest for want of a market and as a result hundreds of farmers have lost their homes. Cotton—nature's capitalist—often goes begging on the market at less than cost of production. It is great to wander through the exhibits while the band is playing "Dixie" and boast of the marvelous fertility of the soil and pride ourselves on our ability to master science, but it is also well to remember that there is a market side to agriculture that does not reflect its hardships in the exhibits at a county fair. UNIVERSAL PEACE This nation is now in the midst of a controversy as to how best to promote universal peace. That question we will leave for diplomats to discuss, but peace within nations is no less important than peace between nations and it is heavily laden with prosperity for every citizen within our commonwealth. Many leading politicians and oftimes political platforms have declared war upon business and no cabinet crisis ever resulted. Many men have stood in high places and hurled "gas bombs" at industry; thrust bayonets into business enterprises and bombarded agriculture with indifference. Party leaders have many times broken diplomatic relations with industry; sent political aviators spying through the affairs of business, and political submarines have sent torpedoes crushing into the deity of commerce. During the past quarter of a century we have fought many a duel with progress, permitted many politicians to carry on a guerrilla warfare against civilization and point a pistol at the heart of honest enterprise. No man should be permitted to cry out for universal peace until his record has been searched for explosives, for no vessel armed or laden, with munitions of war should be given a clearance to sail for the port of Universal Peace. Let us by all means have peace, but peace, like charity, should begin at home. GRASPING AT THE SHADOW No man—especially if he is married—would deny woman any right she demands. Take the earth and give us peace, but why does woman long for the ballot? When all is said and done, is not the selection of the butcher more important to the home than the election of a mayor; is not the employment of the dairyman a far more important event in the life of the children than the appointment of a postmaster; is not the selection of books for the family library more important than voting bonds for jail and court house? Why does woman lay aside the important things in life? Why leave the substance and grasp at the shadow? Be it said to the credit of womanhood that it is not, as a rule, the woman who rocks the candle that wants to cast the ballot; it is not the mother who teaches her children to say "Now I lay me down to sleep" that harangues the populace; it is not the daughter who hopes to reign as queen over a happy home that longs for the uniform of the fragrette. It is, as a rule, the woman who despises her home, neglects her children and scorns motherhood that leads parade and smashes windows. The National Farmers' Union will hold its annual convention in Lincoln Nebraska, on September seventh, and will round out the eleventh year of its activities in the interest of the American plowman. When that convention is called to order every farmer in America should pause and bow his head in honor of the men gathered there to render a patriotic and unselfish service to agriculture. That organization, born in the cotton fields of Texas, has grown until geographically it covers almost the whole of the United States and economically it deals with every question in which the welfare of the men who have their backs to the summer sun are involved. It has battled for a better marketing system, rural credits, cheap money, diversification, scientific production, agricultural legislation and has carried on its work of education and co-operation in season and out. The Farmers' Educational and Cooperative Union of America brings the question of organization squately before every farmer in this nation. Without organization the farmers can neither help themselves nor be helped by others and through organization and systematic effort all things are possible. The farmers of the United States contribute more and get less from government than any other class of business. They have better securities and pay a higher rate of interest than any other line of industry. They market more products and have less to say in fixing the price than any other business and they get more political buncombe and less constructive legislation than any other class of people. The farmers can only acquire such influence in business, in government and in economics as will enable them to share equitably the fruits of their labor through organization and every farmer on American soil who desires to help himself and his fellow plowmen should rally around the Union. POLITICAL GOSSIPS When one class of people has anything to say, it has become largely the custom to make a political issue out of it instead of a friendly discussion, to print it in a law book instead of a newspaper and to argue it before a jury instead of to settle it in the higher courts of Common Sense. As a result, political agitators, political lawyers, political preachers and masculine women are powerful in politics and dissension, selfishness, intolerance and hysterics run rampant in public affairs, for when the low, damp, murky atmosphere of misunderstanding envelops public thought it breeds political reptiles, vermin, bugs and lice which the pure air of truth and the sunshine of understanding will choke to death. We have too many self-appointed interpreters of industry who are incapable of grasping the fundamental principles of business and who at best can only translate gossip and add color to sensational stories. No business can stand upon error and might rules—right or wrong. No industry can thrive upon misunderstanding, for public opinion is more powerful than a King's sword. When prejudice, suspicion and class hatred prevail, power gravitates into the hands of the weak, for demagogues thrive upon dissension and statesmen sicken upon strife. The remedy lies in eliminating the middleman—the political gossip—and this result can be accomplished by the managers of business sitting around the table of industry and talking it over with the people. Interchange of information between industries and the people is as necessary to success in business as interchange in commodities, for 'the people can only rule when the public understands. Away with political interpreters who summon evil spirits from their prison cells and loose them to prey upon the welfare of the people in the name of "My Country." Philip, the Macedonian king, while drowsy with wine was trying a case and the prisoner after sentence was pronounced, criedaimed, "I appeal." "And to whom do you appeal?" inquired the astonished monarch, "I appeal from Philip drunk to Philip sober," replied the prisoner, and the king granted the request and at a rehearing gave the prisoner his liberty. The people drowsy with the wine of discord oftimes pronounce a verdict on public questions which they reverse in their more calm and deliberate moments. The next best thing to making no mistakes is to correct them! Galilee Baptist Church — Preschool 11 a. m. and 7:30 p. m. Sunday School, 9:30 a. m.

CHARLIE MILLS Popular Manager of the Giants, and owner of Keystone Cafe and Garden. CARLIN VILLE TEAM DUE TO GET THEIR SUNDAY If Jupiter Pluvius will just condescend to go on a vacation Sunday and let the Giants play, Manager Mills, his speed boys, and about 5,000 loyal fans will get an opportunity to realize the long-sought revenge on the now famous Carlinville team for its defeat of our prides a couple of weeks ago. Determined to show up this aggregation of future major league stars has caused Kuebler and Mills to book them again for next Sunday. Last Sunday's game was prevented by rain and probably the biggest attendance of the season was disappointed. Everybody believes the Giants only lost the game with the Carlinville boys Sunday, the 11th, on account of the crippled condition of several of its star players and the fans have been anxious to see their opinion vindicated. The Carlinville team is the strongest semi-pro aggregation in the West, has several members under the eyes of the big leagues and two already signed. It will be no discredit to them to fall before the Giants' big guns, yet it can be well expected they will fight hard to maintain the fluke reputation they gained July 11. The game Sunday, at Kuebler's Park will start at 3 o'clock and a record crowd is the indication. The Giants will play in Dexter, Mo., Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The citizens have a home gathering. No colored people live there and Mills and his boys will stop at a white hotel. The Giants have won four straight games in the city (Saturday) League. It is rumored that Manager Slack, of the East St. Louis Giants, withdrew from the Interstate League a few days ago, will also withdraw his team from the City League to play Mills' team a series of games. If he does it will break up the Saturday combination. The Giants, with 20 men, including Manager Mills, Owner Kuebler, Chas. (Dummy) Stanley, two ticket men and fifteen players, will leave St. Louis August 14 for a tour of the East. The schedule consists of games at Indianapolis, with the A. B. C. team, August 15, 16, 17; Columbus, O., 18, 19, 20; Cubans in Camden, N. J., 21; Lincoln Giants in N. Y., 22, 23, 24; Ashbury Park, 25, 26, 27; Lincoln Giants, 28, 29, 30; Atlantic City, Sept. 1, 2, 3; American Giants in Chicago, 6; return home Sept. 8. Manager Mills has secured two new players for the team, but is concealing their names. Mills will meet the team in Columbus, as he will have charge of the K. of P. commissary car on the way to the encampment there. Cobb, one of the Giants' catchers, was called to Renando, Miss., Tuesday, on account of the serious illness of his mother. The Maroon Giants, a baseball team composed principally of Sumner High players has won all of its eight games this summer. They play the Walton Blues at Fairgrounds Park next Sunday at 3 p.m. Get some fresh air Sunday mornings. Ride to Kuebler's Park, 6100 N. Broadway and see the Union Electrics play ball. Game called at 10 a.m. Admission 10 cents. W. T. Bradford, Mgr. KUEBLER'S PARK 6100 N. Broadway A THE FATHER AND SON OF THE MOTHER OF THE FATHER GREEN & PUGH At the Booker Washington this week. The show at the Booker Washington this week fits well in the best this house has offered in a long time. Every act is good, so good in fact that position on the bill has little to do with the selection of a "feature act." Regardless of the hot weather, Mr. Turpin and his force of attendants are kept busy caring for the big attendances, especially on Mondays and Thursdays, which are pay days. Tommie Parker and La Blanche Young open the show. Their act is made up of some really humorous dialogue, artistic and eccentric dancing and some very good singing by Miss Young, who has a strong and well-trained voice. NEXT WEEK AT THE WASHINGTON Beginning Monday LAUGHING The Man Who Never THE ORIGIN GUS AND TRIXIE Exponents of High Singers and JONES AND The Coal Scuttle BIL of Fun ONE OTHER Miss Young makes a decided hit singing. "Every Woman's Got a Man But Me," and Mr. Parker cleans up with his song and dance. "Aba Daba Honeymoon." The act closes strong. Isabella and Glenn have a comedy vehicle that affords good opportunity for Mr. Glenn to display his ridiculous eccentrics. The playlet is formed around a family quarrel and presents several funny situations before it is finally settled satisfactorily. They do considerable singing, keep up a continuous merriment and leave the stage in a burst of applause. Thelma, female impersonator, is a decided deception. His makeup, that of a pink-faced blond, is so perfect that the eye cannot penetrate the disguise. He wears a handsome costume and with a fine soprano voice sings, "Good-bye, My Love, Good-bye," "Ragging the Baby to Sleep," and "You Won My Heart." He ranks well with the best in the art. Green and Pugh, straight comedians, stylishly dressed, close the show with a neatly arranged act of songs, dances, imitations and humorous dialogues. Mr. Pugh makes a tremendous hit singing the late George Walker's song, "That's Why They Call Me Shine." His stage prancing strikes the audience just right. Mr. Green scores singing, "You're More Than the World to Me." They close with a duet on their "Zaboes" and go big. SPECIAL PICTURE FEATURES AT THE COMET ODEON Every Monday—"The Diamond From the Sky."

Clark, formerly of Clark and Smith, has opened a tailoring shop at 3406 La Salle St. Mr. Clark has purchased a delivery automobile. He plans to give the people the quick and reliable service they demand and says, "Don't pack your clothes to a tailor, use your phone; he will call for your work and deliver it in double quick.time." Mr. Clark has had 16 years' experience in the tailoring business, and is well qualified to give the best satisfaction. Besides high-grade tailoring, he is cleaning, pressing and repairing all garments, carpets and draperies. He also does a rental business in full dress suits. The change Mr. Clark has made enables him to give prices at a third less than formerly. It is no longer necessary to worry. No matter what part of the city you live in, if you wish tailoring, cleaning or pressing work, or your guests are in need of service, phone Grand 835M or Victor 3525X and have an automobile call for your work.
