A. have been put upon the market and it is estimated that in about ten days or two weeks the contract will be let and the work begun immediately. The Board of Managers at a recent meeting on Wednesday night, expressed gratification at the way the building movement is progressing, and the men are looking forward to the time when the actual work on the new building will commence. In the competition between the teams, the race continues to be exceedingly close between team 14, of which Dr. T. A. Curtis is captain, and team 17, Dr. C. H. Turner, captain. For the present time team 17 has the leadership and has held it for a week. Team 14 made a strong stab to regain first place and is now only a few dollars behind. For the Sunday meeting, Dr. Lewis Sheafe will speak. This meeting will be held at A. o'clock at the Y. M. C. A. building, 2702 Lawton avenue, and will, without doubt, be up to the usual standard of the strong association meetings. MASONS TURN OUT FOE OR PHANS' HOME DAY. Perhaps you had the care of a loving mother, or a kind father, when you could not help yourself, but that is not the case with these poor little orphans that we have at the home. I am going to request all Masons to meet at our hall, Sunday, May 20th, at 1 o'clock, p. m., and fall in line and march out to the home. Come and assist in our Orphans' Home Day. This is real service. J. L. Henderson, District Deputy Grand Master. RASCALS AND—RASCALS A Negro was recently brought into police court in a little town in Georgia, charged with assault and battery. The Negro, who was well known to the judge, was charged with having struck another "unblached American" with a brick. After the usual preliminaries the judge inquired: "Well, you are one, aren't you?" "Yessah, I is one. But, judge, a'pose somebody'd call you a damn black racalse, wouldn't you hit 'em!" "But I'm not one, am I!" "Naw, sah, naw, sah, you ain't one; but, a'pose somebody'd call you do kind o' racalse you is, what'd you do!"—Omaha Monitor. ment speakers.

Fee Fifty Cents for Each Room Exceeding Four. A new city ordinance, which went into effect recently requires all keepers of rooming houses to obtain a license. The fee charged is fifty cents each for all rooms, for rent, exceeding four. Applicants are required to comply with the State Fire Prevention and Safety laws and must have their premises inspected by the Building Commissioner before the license is granted. Buildings not requiring fire escapes must provide, in every bedroom or sleeping apartment on the second and third floors, a manila rope at least five-eighths of an inch in diameter and of sufficient length to reach the ground, with knots made therein, not over fifteen inches apart, and of sufficient strength to sustain a weight of at least five hundred pounds. The rope must be fastened near a window and kept in plain sight. Lights must be kept burning in the common stairways and halls on each floor from twilight to daybreak. All buildings full three stories or more must have iron stair fire escapes and be provided with transparent signs, fire bells and chemical extinguishers. A two dollar inspection fee is charged for all buildings having fifteen or more rooms. A fine of from $5 to $500 is the penalty for failure to comply with the law. The ordinance applies to all hotels, public lodging, rooming and boarding houses, without discrimination.

Shields, furniture dealer, 2607 Lawton Ave., who has been on his vacation for the past three weeks, has returned to the city and has resumed his business at the same old stand. During the time Mr. Shields was away, his store and shop were closed, but on his return he states that he is quite busy restocking his business with new and used furniture, stoves, carpets, etc. All kinds of repairing will be done on shortest notice. Chicago, Philadelphia and Detroit are among the places visited while away. Don't forget, at the same old stand, 2607 Lawton. What Is Treason? If an ordinary citizen should try to prevent the enlistment of any American citizen in the army or navy at this time he could and would be severely punished for it. We believe that such interference would be called treason. Certain southern Congressmen have openly opposed and are openly opposing the enlistment of Colored Americans, or their inclusion in any plan of universal military service. If such opposition is not treason, what is it? ```markdown ``` NEGRO EXODUS FROM THE SOUTH CAUSES CRISIS West Point, Miss.—At a mass meeting of West Point and Clay County citizens, the labor situation, resulting from the departure, of thousands of Negroes for the North, was discussed. A resolution was passed providing for the appointment of a committee of twenty to inform each labor agent in the county that his business is ruminous to the county and also request him to desist from recruiting Negro labor for other parts of the country. The labor situation in many parts of Mississippi is approaching a crisis. In fact, the whole of the South is being aroused by the daily exodus of laborers, and action, similar to that taken at the West Point meeting, is being urged in other places. Some of the more conservative employers advise less drastic action. It is pointed out that the labor agents have the protection of the law and that complications will inevitably result if the citizens proceed with the single idea that the only way in which they can hold their labor is by literally ejecting the agents from their districts. Making conditions in the South more attractive to the Negro laborers will, it is said, be a more peaceful means of forcing the labor agent to close his doors. There Is Something In A Name Los Angeles, Cal., Special— On Wednesday the following resolution was introduced by Councilman F. D. Wheeler, a friend of the Colored people, and unanimously passed by the City Council of the City of Los Angeles. "Whereas there are many thousands of Colored people in our city who are good citizens and taxpayers and are striving to build up and maintain good reputations for themselves, and as such, are entitled to fair treatment by the city at large, and "Whereas there is a public alley known as 'Nigger Alley,' which is objectionable to many of our citizens, therefore be it "Resolved: That we instruct the City Engineer to prepare an ordinance changing the name of Nigger Alley to some other designation." This thoroughfare is in the old residential part of the city, and runs east from Los Angeles Street, one-half block north of Aliso. For many years this unwanted designation of a dismal alley has reflected discredit upon our people. MASS MEETING A mass meeting under the auspices of Elleardsville Civic League, and the Citizens' Relief Association, to announce the re-organization of the Colored Orphans' Home, under the new charter, and other things that the public ought to know, will be held at St. James Church, Pendleton and St. Ferdinand, Sunday, May 13, at 4 p.m. Rev. C. Stahmann, Superintendent Children's Home Society, and Mrs. W. E. Fleshol, of the Central Council of Social Agencies, will speak. Vocal music by Miss Bessie E. Coleman, and a mixed quartette. Everybody invited. No admission will be charged. INFORMATION WANTED. Anyone knowing the whereabouts of James Leatherwood, formerly of Mississippi, should notify Capt. Hess of Lacade Avenue Police Station, or the Argus office. His sister, Mamie Leatherwood, wishes to hear from him. Anyone knowing the whereabouts of Henry Hall, formerly of Augusta, Ga., should notify Capt. Hess of the Lacade Avenue Police Station, or the Argus office. His son, W. B. Hall, wishes to hear from him. Bill Designed to Raise $1,800,000,000 In Year will Tax Nearly Everything in Family and Business Life. Postal Rates Higher. Amusements, Household Bills, Small Incomes are Included. The new war tax bill, designed to raise about $1,800,000,000 of revenue in a year, proposes the most extensive and greatest line of taxation ever faced by the American people and will reach to the remote departments of business and household life. Some of the taxes will be on life and fire insurance, household electric light bills, telephone bills, railroad tickets, admission to theaters and other amusements, club dues, automobiles, jewelry, wines, liquors, beer, tobacco, musical instruments, cosmetics, medicines, bank checks, post cards, letters and in fact everything that enters into the life of a family. Income tax will be charged on all salaries ranging from $85 per month up. Post cards will cost two cents; newspapers will cost more for mailing and publishers will be required to pay five per cent on all advertising collections. The main revenue will come from incomes, inheritances, excess profits and imports. The measure is expected to pass, both houses of Congress in a few days and to go into effect almost immediately. BREAD TO BE 10 CENTS A LOAF Bread will be 10 instead of 5 cents a loaf within two weeks, according to an announcement, of the American Bakery Co. today. The high cost of flour is given as the cause. The American Bakery Co. comprises the Welle-Boottler. Freund, Heydt, Home and Rauck-Hoerr, bakeries, and other St. Louis bakers are expected to adopt the 10-cent loaf. Tabernacle Bapt. 7 Day Meeting BY BESSIE PAGE. Everything is now in readiness for a large anniversary of Tabernacle Baptist Church, which will be celebrated May 13th to 21st inclusive. Owing to its wide influence, pastors from the surrounding towns, and city pastors, as well as the business and professional men are expected to take part. A program has been arranged to suit each class of people who shall attend. Strangers have found Tabernacle a friendly church, so old and new friends gather there. The pastor, Rev. S. A. Mosley, keeps in touch with the people of the south, which accounts for the rapid growth of the church. Last Sunday was a busy day with us. Annual sermon, baptizing and covenant meeting were features of the day. Brother A. R. Fowler, who has been attending Western College, is with us again. The members of the church are asked to visit the sick of this parish. The Literary Society, under the direction of Rev. Venerable, will open at this church. Mrs. Howard Walker, of Kirkwood, spent a fortnight with Madam Bessie Pagp recently. The Pentecostal Services held at the church this week proved to be helpful, both in a spiritual and financial way. Sunday will be rally day, and every member is expected to do his best: Help cancel the debt on the church and make it beautiful. The choir will have special music. All are invited.

The objectionable part was after all the necessary questions as to place of birth, race, occupation, etc. In the left hand corner of the card were these words, "If person is of African descent, tear off this corner." This statement is looked upon with suspicion by the Negroes who claim that it is adding insult to injury by the government. They point out that of the forty or more races that are to be registered they could see no season why the Negro should have to do more than any other race. One man was heard to say, "This imposition is the most humiliating act that the United States has heaped upon us since the present crisis set in." A mass meeting was called to send telegrams of protest to Washington while the feeling of resentment was much in evidence among many. Drafted. Only men between the ages of 21 and 30, will be subject to the draft bill. B. E. WATKINS B. E. Watkins, Colonel Uniform Department K. of P., was the first Negro to apply, pass the required examination, accepted and assigned to the Federal Reserve Corps at Fort Riley, Kas., to receive training as an officer in the regular army. It was push and determination that won this place for Col. Watkins, after being put off two or three times when he applied for examination. We congratulate him upon his success and predict that he will make good in his new field. Other young Colored men have made application and have passed. Attorney George L. Vaughn and Leonard J. Tuggle were successful applicants, but have not been assigned as yet. College Men Desirable. The War Department is sending out letters to college graduates advising them to apply for the Federal Reserve Training Camps, and quite a number of our boys will take advantage of this offer, as this seems more desirable than the proposed "Negro Training Camp." COLORED SOLDIERS ARE ON GUARD AT THE WHITE HOUSE The First Separate Battalion, under the command of Major Walker, is on guard in Washington. The battalion had just returned from the Mexican border when it was ordered to do patrol duty in the capital. Six hundred men constitute the strength of the battalion. Thirty of these men are detailed under Lieutenant Boyd, to act as messengers in the State, War and Navy Departments, a service at this crisis considered most delicate and important, since no one is admitted to any part of the building without a pass, and those thus admitted must be accompanied by one of these Colored messenger soldiers. The sight is rather stimulating to the race. The Matrons' Council H. of J. will meet Wednesday, May 16, at the residence of Mrs. Imogene Brown of 16 N. Leffingwell, at 2:30 p.m. Mrs. Pinkie C.

UNCONSCIOUS SEGREGATION. | In an editorial, our contemporary, The Fraternal Clarion, ir its last issue, criticised that majority of the Negro population that is intolerant of race ostracisms. In this thousand word opinion occur these expressions: ““When- ever we desire fo segregate ourselves for any reason, we can bring to bear the most eloquent and logical arguments in support of our actions on a plea of race pride and race consciousness. But when the proposition to segregate uscomes from outside the race, we -condemn it as ‘jim-crowism’.” We ure glad the Clarion. came so clarion:like with these state- ments: first, because it shows how calloused are its sensibilities; secondiy; because ittgresents possible opportunity for enlightment. Every word of the, quoted sentences are true. Aggregation or seg- regation, which ever you choose to nameit, is respectively tolerable or intolerable to self-respecting, manly men just to the extent that it is voluntary or by command. Two men leave a building; one goes because he wants to go; the other leaves because he is ordered out. The Clarion sees no.differences inthe two instances, be- cause both men go out. We lie down-on the grass from a desire to recline; the Clarion'is knocked down, but thinks it has-no more cause for affront.than we, becatise we aré both-equally down. “Such a spirit as this‘quotation reveals is the spirit of innate slavery. "It is the spirit that will swallow shame’ and.grin: for a drink to wash it down. It is a spirit that invites and encourages “he degradation of our race: It inspires the Vardamans, Tillmans and Cole, Bleagestto invent fresh debasements and it discourages and sickens those who would see usfree and respected. . ° Are we harsh? Jesus was harsh when he scourged the money- changers from the Temple. There. are offenses that compel harsh- ness. Here‘is unspeakable servility spread before the eyes of the youth of our race’as an instruction; and.nothing that is necessary. to discredit it can be toosevere. poms In this «editorial, the sole defect of our- magnificent public school system that the late Edward Long, as superintendent of scHlools, said he deeply deplored—separation of the races—is exulted over. It lauds associations of the, name of Jesus Christ ' with the curse’of the American ‘color-line. It cries loudly for. a.‘‘colored hospital” and ‘‘colored parks.” It insists- on making’-the colored man a cheerful civic parasite. It extols proscription gf elf. It is intolerable. ~* é 4% : ~ -We are apposed to segregation of any kind based on clef It ia bad in its mildest form. It is undemocratic and unAmerican in principle.” St, Louis has not fully recovered from its evil effects of a little more than a year-ago. -Law is one- thing and sentiment is another. .-If we do not profit by past experience, we .should have our, sensibilitiés quickened. Segregation takes on -its most-danger- ous: form when éncouched into law. The Negro is in-a most pitable condition when he asks for it and does not know it. “~ >. There is.at present,’ a “‘colored’ ward,’ in: the City Hospital. This is.x,condition which we did not ask for. If it must be, why not appoint Negro doctors and’ nurses to-look after its patients? COLLEGE. MEN DESIRED. , Our college graduates are réceiving letters from the War De- partment urging them to presént themselves for examination for commission in the Officers’ Reserve Corps. ‘From these en- closures,” reads the letter, it will be apparent that the Government, is relying largely upon the graduate body ofthe educational insti- tutions of the country to furnish men possessing the basic qualifi. cations for the “First Ten Thousand” to.officer ‘the first half mil- lion troops to be called to the colors.” We are fortunate, in this crisis, to have.men of our race competent and willing to answer the call of their country. eo Es 3 DON'T FORGET. . - | Di.

If you don't pay too much for it, Laddle, money is a good thing to get. Some folks forget that money costs anybody anything and they try to get something for nothing—which never happens. It costs sweat and brains and—but you sit down at the table there and write down as many things as you can think of that folks pay for money, health, chum life with children, the spirit of play—and things like that. If you don't pay too much for it, Laddle, money is a good thing to keep. Some folks forget that keeping money costs somebody something all the time it is kept doing nothing. Money doesn't get rusty by being kept, even if some jokers say it does. No, money doesn't get rusty, but folks do who get the habit of making it act rusty. Their joints get rusty, their friendships get rusty, their generous feelings get rusty, and sometimes their bills get terribly rusty—the bills they owe other folks. Some of them—the folks—say they must keep all the money they can get so that they can have a good time some other time. But O! Getting the habit of keeping all of one's money is a very costly habit to get—it is almost as costly as the habit of keeping all of other folk's money one can get hold of. If you don't pay too much for it, Lassie, money is a good thing to spend. The kind of stuff you're made of is going to come to the top plainest and surest by the way you use money, by what you have to show for it when you have spent it. The best teacher in the world said that the best way to use money is to buy friends with it, so that when the money fails you will have friends to take you into their homes. Lots of good people think the teacher was talking through his hat. He wasn't no matter what they think. Some people have to, spend money before they get it, but of course they have to borrow it from someone else who will let them take it and spend it. Sometimes they give a note which says they will get back some other money by a certain time and give it back to the man who lets them take his money and spend it; and they pay him for the use of his money. That's business. Sometimes they borrow stuff that a man has paid money for and say, "Charge it." And he charges it. And then when he wants very much to use the money he pays for the goods and asks the folks who borrowed the goods to let him have his money, some of the folks sometimes get very angry and smite him with hard words and tell him to go to Helena, Arkansas, or some other seaport, and keep on using the other man's money when he Origin of the Wedding Ring Of Today Has Been Traced How many brides, as they tremulously present a coy finger for the clasp of the magic circle, even suspect that the welcome symbol of hymeneal bliss comes down to them from Old Egypt? In the land of the sphinx and the pyramids was the cradle of emancipated womanhood, where mater-familias ruled her willing household with desotic sway—a fair and benevolent despotism but none the less tyrannical, borrowing her smug authority from the mothergoddess Isis, the indomitable and supreme. In ancient times the influence of the Egyptian wife extended, far beyond the domain of the family dwelling, for she was mistress of the storerooms, the granaries, and all the provisions: "Mistress of the Seals," "Mistress of the Linens," "Mistress of the Khetenu," the sealed rooms. All the doors, boxes and jars of the household were elaborately sealed and under her sole supervision. This, it is said, accounts for the great number of scarab seals found by the side of females in mummy cases. In this capacity as supreme abliter of the household and its appurtenances, on the wedding day the Egyptian woman's lord, but not her master, presented her with a little string of seals which she wore like a bunch of keys. At first the jewels were suspended from a string hung about her neck. Then she wore them on a cord or string tied around her wrist, and later, for greater security, they were attached to the finger by a string or a wire. This wire is said to be the direct forbear of the signet ring and of the wedding ring. With the advent of locks these seals gave way to keys, and the husband ceremoniously presented his mistress with the keys of the household or estate on a ring. These becoming too cumbersome or uncomfortable, a plain metal band was given with the keys. Says Cicero: "The key was given to the bride on entering her home to signify that she was appointed mistress—materfamilias—of the house—in fact, to be used by her to lock up her storeroom, and in case of divorce was taken away." Thus the wedding ring comes—in proud perpetuity to the brides of today from the sacred shores of the drowsy Nile. Asy THE EAST I its work. I fumed with best known Eye-Brows, Color. Can ing.

First; it tells us that hie: sins are : . forgiven him ‘This fundamental! f} fact a soul bur dened ‘with the guut of sin-needs to know, ‘and te = ‘whe hhallaven te the gq : > |. guilt of sin-needs to know, ‘and to the hellever In the any Jesus Christ it Is sald, “I write ‘unto you, little children, because your ‘ins are forgiyen you for his name take” (2:12). Rae Perhaps someone reading these words has never had bis. sins forgiven. He fs carrying the burden of his guilt and knows. nothing of the joy and peace-in believing in the Lord Jesus Christ. To such a one comes. the words of Paul, “Be it knawn unto you" therefore, men and brethren, ° that through this man {s preached unto'you the forgiveness. of sins: And by him all that believe are justified from all things, ‘from which ye could not be Justifidd by_-the. law_of Moses” (Acts. 13:28-20). It.ts possible, you see from this, for an unbellever to believe: in the "Lord Jesus Christ and have at once the forgiveness of: sin ahd. to know that his sins are forgiven him. ‘The Way of Cleansing. | - ‘Then notice next- that this epistle tells us of the provision made for the bellever’s cleansing from the defile- ment of sin, This is set before us in the first chapter, seventh verse, at we read; “The blood of Jesus his Son, ‘cleanseth us: from all, sin.” ‘The word “cleangeth” makes it clear that there. {s-a, continual ob ever going on in’ the -tellever’s life by which, he-ts made clean from sin. ‘In two ways God bas provided for the be- ‘ever’e cleansing: First, through the “plod of Jesus Christ; and, ‘secondly, through his Word: We-have the ‘first ‘method mentioned above; the second, when Jestis.said to his disciples, “Now are ye clean through the word which I have’ spoken unto you,”.and in Ephe- sians five, where we read. of the “wash- ing of the, water hy the word. - ‘The everpresent cleansing, which 1s’. the believer's through the blood of Christ, is: perpetual in its effect and «assures ‘him that before God: In-Christ he is cleansed. The cleansing by the.Word has to do with bis daily walk, abd in measure as the bellever permits the Holy Spirit to apply the Word to his life it cleanses’ dnd keeps him’ from the defllement of ain. ~ 2 ‘Then we come to the third fact ‘which tells us how we may be dellv- ered from the, power of sin. “Th ‘things write I unto you. that.ge Ee not'sin” (Revised Version 2:1). When we face this truth we face one of the Most solemn, truths in the Word of God, We may have been afraid of I + decause we haye known certain teach ‘Ing’ that has led Into. grave error, and aso result we draw back when ‘anv one talks about the possibility of the ‘believer not sinning, but’ what ‘Is the significance of thik ‘expresidon “ma “not “sin,” {f It does not mean tha there Is for’the bellever deliverance it this life: from the powér of’ sin. It 1s very evident from the context that dre’ apostle ts.not’ téaching the eradivation of sin when he says “ma net sin,” for he says, “if we. say. we have-no sin (that 1s the root’ or prin ciple of sin) we decelve ourselves anc the truth ts not in us.” But tn th face of this fact that sin fs in us, the _aporile sige ‘these things write’ T up to you that ye may not sit By this he means the practice of gin, ané so he thus sets before us, the: possi Dility of the believér belig deliverec froti the practice of sin. Well may w ask, “How?” The answer 1s, “throug! Christ.” : Reeves +. Que Advocate. ; But what if we should: sin, {s’ther any provision for us? Yes, says thy apostle, “if any man ‘sin we. have ai vfadvoeate with the Father, Jesus ‘Chris -the righteous” - (231), ‘This blesses provision-is made not that we may sin “but in case we'do sin. Just‘as the life - boats’ are placed on the ‘transatlantt Uners not that they may go down, bu for use in case'they, do go down; anc 20 if’ we fall {ato sin, the apostle tell us what’ to do in the words: “If w confers our sins, be is falthfal an t just to forgive ur our sing and t cleanse ‘us from. all unrighteousness (1:9): Our part in the restoration int _ fellowship ‘\s to confeds our. sin, re iembering that before God stands ow Advocate who pleads by his- presenc ‘our case. “The Ideal, however, for Mves.ts for us not to practice sin. ¥ yp are altogether too rendy fo excuse our ‘selves on the ground of our’ sinfulness anit 09 we act a low standard for ou tives, God's: Meal. for. us e tet ‘sin not.

THE. ABIDING LIFE (vy. 1.4). | Davee the figure of the vine Jesus' tedches | spiritual truth by natural | analogy. The vine !s composed of roots, stem, branchés, tendrils, and | fruit. There 1s no separate life: the branches are one with the vine, Christ is the head of that body. which Is the church to its least member. ° The life lived by the Christian-1s Christ's lite humanized, the purpos® of which Is fruit bearing. Discipline 1s in order to frultfuness. “He (My Father, the vinedresser) cuts away any branch on me which Is, not bearing fralt, and cleans every branch which. does beni frult, to. mnke it bear richer ‘tra 4(Moffat's: translation). a tells us that “no chastening for the present seemeth to be Joyous but grievous: nevertheless, afterward it sieldeth the peacenble frult of righteousness unto them. which- are..exercised _thereby.”. ‘The Word ts the cleansing agent (17: 17), Verse four suggests. a: double fabiding-ewe In him, and he in us— the bganch depending upon the vine for life, nnd the vine depending upon the branch for fruit. Jesus had just been talking about his approaching death, and -his disciples were full of anxiety. He tells-them not to be trou- | died, and by- this assures ther, that, though he wWhald leave them, ‘he fwould ‘still be Joined ‘tothe. AL though. they: had been made cleiin, they gre taught’ that the only. way to Keep clean. is by “abldifig,” which ts to be continued through the éternal spirit after his decease ‘and ascent to the Father. “It is, given to us to hold fellowship with both the root that twines itself about the cross and the tendrils which stretch upward to glory."—A.

THEATRES WILD WEST BLOOD-CURDLING DRAMA FEATURES SHOW AT THE BOOKER WASHINGTON THIS WEEK Weaver-White Players Excite Audiences With Villainous Plots and Thrilling Climaxes. Will Present Change of Bill Next Week Wild, western drama of the blood-curdling, hair-raising variety, is being featured by the Weaver-White Players at the Booker-Washington Theater this week. The title of the play is, "The Death of Old Pillgary." Pilgary is an indigent parent of an over ambitious daughter. He falls the victim of a villainous faker, who, on pretense of selling him some horses, entices him to a lonesome place where he is murdered for his money. "This heinous crime does not appraise the appetite of the plotter, who feigns love of the daughter and wins her hand in marriage." The villain then proceeds to assert his authority, demands all her money and in a drunken brawl terrorizes the household. He is discovered and exposed by a previously deserted wife, who pays the penalty of death, by his hands. He is about to wreak further vengeance upon his young bride, when she is rescued by a habitue of the house, the bully getting his final deserts. The action of the play is curious and exciting. Hester Moore plays the villain, a part for which her talent is well adapted. Others is the caste are: Jules Weaves, John Jackson, Gonzell White, who is a St. Louis girl; George and Anna Brady. A repertoire of singing and dancing precedes the drama. The company opened to a packed house Monday night and kept the audience in a high pitch of excitement throughout the production. The plot offers opportunity for plenty of good comedy. Next Week Next week the Weaver White Players will present a light comedy entitled "Sunshines and Flowers." The play will be replete with plenty of singing and dancing and several good specialties are promised. Miss Gnzell White disappointed her many friends and acquaintances by not appearing in a dancing act Monday night, but has been doing a little flash of her art since. She will be seen in a big repertoire in the production next week. It is reported that Ora Criswell is very sick in Baltimore, suffering from heart trouble and it is feared she will not be able to appear on the stage again. THE WORLD PASSES BEFORE YOUR EYES Art, Travel, History, Romance, Science, Comedy. There are a great many reasons why I go to the motion picture show. To begin with, I can sit at ease in a comfortable seat and see before my eyes the whole great world pass in review. I can see the Turk at his mosque, with his arms stretched toward Mecca; the explorer battling against the might of ice and snow, the Arab on the burning sands of the Sahara, the mighty trees of California, the black skinned natives of the tropics gathering coconuts and fruits, the beasts of every jungle and forest and plain, the fish of all the waters of the world, the marvels of nature, the wonders of savagery and civilization. I go to the motion picture show because, as a 'common' man, I can learn more of science than from the reading of *countless books*, or by months of travel, or from courses of lectures delivered by whiskered savants whose technicalities confuse ratings than inform.

We saw Helen Holmes do these very things in her last picture," The Railroad Raiders." This thrilling serial is now being shown at the New Movie theater, every Thursday.

LOUIS ARGUS Rollicking, Jingl "SUNSHINE BASE BALL POLO PARK E. ST. LOUIS SATURDAY, MAY 12 CUBAN STARS VS. St. Louis Giants Sunday, May 13 EAST ST. LOUIS ALL STARS VS. ST. LOUIS GIANTS POLO PARK IS THE FUTURE HOME OF THE ST. LOUIS GIANTS COOPERATIVE BASEBALL CLUB, JIMMIE LYONS, CAPTAIN Address all Communications to Richard D. Barrett, Business Manager, 2821 Laclede Ave., Phone, Kinloch, Central 8877R. Brock Gives Up Federal Park GIANTS COMPELLED TO SEEK HOME IN EAST ST. LOUIS Scheduled to Play Strongest Clubs After being baffled about from park to park for the past few years, the St. Louis Giants have been finally compelled to go to East St. Louis for a home. Polo Park has been selected and it is stated that the Illinoisans were so glad to get the crack St. Louis club that the white club has been disbanded and a $150 guarantee forfeited to the league. This hits St. Louis a hard blow, but commends the support of our boys to all of the fans on this side. It is clearly indicated, by recent developments that the owners of the league clubs are opposing Negro baseball in this city and are determined to shut them out of all parks. Although Brock had claimed to hold, and did exhibit, a five-year lease on Federal Park, he suddenly threw his hands up last week, claiming he had lost it and was broke. The whole transaction looks fishy. The players were left stranded and some of the boys have left the city, but their places have been filled and the St. Louis Giants Co-operative Baseball Club has been organized, with Richard Barrett, as business manager and Jimmie-Lyons as captain. Barrett had accepted a position as secretary and booking agent for Brock and when he heard of the players' plight, he called the boys together and told them he had heard from C. L. Taylor, of the Indianapolis A. B. C.'s and Rube Foster, of Chicago, who advised him to hold them together. Barrett made an impassioned speech to the players and the result was the co-operative agreement. The Cuban Stars came to St. Louis May*4 to open the season scheduled for May 6 and have been here ever since. They are to play the Giants at Polo Park Friday and Saturday, the games to start at 3:15. On Sunday, May 13, the Giants will meet the East St. Louis' All Stars. This club is composed of real professionals, as follows: Joe Mowery, L. F. (Phil, National); Red Roach, C. F., (St. L. Browns); Erne Durddin, R. F., (Cincinnati); Jake Boulder, 3rd B., (Boston Nat.); W. Devoy, 1st B., (Browns); E. Robertson, C., (Columbus A. A.); Schall, C., (Pearia, III); Leifeld, P., (Fittsburgh); H. Jasper P., (Chicago, American); J. Mathews, (St. L. Feds.); G. Selzer, S. S., and R. Slack 2nd B. The game will start at 3:15. On account of the illness of Mayor Kiel, he will be represented by Col. H. N. Morgan, who will form the "send off" battery with the mayor of East St. Louis. Jack Ryan will umpire and "Lefty". Leifeld will pitch for the All Stars. The Famous Nebraska Indians are ling Musical Comedy and SHADOWS' booked for May 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25. The Giants will play the A. B. C.'s in Indianapolis May 26 to 30 and will meet the same club on the Polo grounds June 3 to 9. All the future bookings are with the strongest clubs and St. Louis fans should rally to the boys and give them good support. TENNIS BY S. M. MOORE. The Mid-West Tennis Association, composed of players from Illinois, Kansas and Missouri, will hold its first tournament in St. Louis, this summer under the auspices of the Northwestern Tennis Club. In the inter-city matches between St. Louis and Kansas City our city has fared badly during the past four years. All loyal St. Louisans, therefore, are urged to exert themselves to the end that every young man here gets out on the tennis courts, develops and perfects his play to the point that St. Louis will be returned winner, in the coming meet. Let every club, athletic, social or what not, that has no playing-member adopt one. Give our city the players. All together for St. Louis! The Alabama Kitchen and Grill, 1039 N.
