TORNADoES

The time for tornadoes is upon US.
On April 18th. Kansas and Missouri
were visited by destructive tornadoes
that destroyed thousands OF dollars
worth OF property, killed and injured
many people. On the same day a tor
nado or wind storm OF more or less
severity visited many counties in
Iowa, being most severe in the east
ern part OF the state, where many
buildings were destroyed. Amy place
in Iowa is liable to be visited by q
tornado for the next six months and
every one should carry insurance in
some reliable company.

SOME FACTS ABOUT EASTER

Easter fell unusually late this year.
II could not possibly come more than
two days later. The fixing of the
proper time for celebrating this holy
day was famous matter of dispute
as far back as the second century,
when the Eastern church contended
that it ought to be observed on the
fourteenth day of the first Jewish
month, holding it to be the same as
the Hebrew feast of the Passover.
Later the Church decreed that Easter
should be kept always on the first
Sunday attire the first full moon of
spring; that is to say, the full moon
that happens on or next after the 21st
of March. The earliest possible date
ON which the feast can come, conse-
quently, is the 22nd of March, and the
latest one is April 25.

DESMOND WINS RACE FROM
EASTERN STARS; RUNS QUAR-
TER IN Isl

New York, Special.-Binga DESMOND,
the Colored Splinter from the Univer-
sity of Chicago, handed out stunning
surprise to the eastern cracks Tuesday
when he won the suburban quarter mile
at the knights of st. Antony games In
the Forty-seventh regiment armory to-
night.
There was no question of the supe-
riority of the dusky aier. Although
there was a little crowding in the
earlier stages of the race he was not to
blame for it and at the finish he was
going away from Ted Meredith, the
Olympic champion, who was forced to
the limit to beat Billy Moore of Prince
ton by six inches for the place. The
time of 81 constituted a new armory
record.
In addition to Meredith, who won the
trophy last year, there finished behind
DESMOND Tom Halpin of Boston, who
also has leg on the cup; Billy Moore,
the best middle distance man at Prince
ton, and Tom Lennon, who caused a
sensation by his great running in the
800 yard handicap at the New York
A. C. games.

THE "GRIP" AND AFTER

There is no doubt that Syphilis is a
"great actor" in that it presents so
many and varied symptoms that it is
often able to hide its true identity.
AS great an actor as is syphilis it oc-
cupies second place in its ability to
hide its identity. Influenza has a
greater faculty of disguise. 1t often
assumes the appearance of pneumonia,
pleurisy, typhoid fever, arthritis, diph-
liberia and other throat disorders as
well as other diseases too numerous to
mention. 1t often initiates pertussis or
whooping cough, gastro-intestinal and
respiratory diseases in particular. The
nose and throat, eye and ear diseases
aer often local manifestations of in
huenza
The influenza germ can and often
does cause serious lung diseases, either
primarily or secondarily. tuberculosis
following the grip is frequently OBJ
served. The germ causing la grippe
weakens the body so that the person
becomes an easy victim to other and
more deadly heterogeneous. The
chief dangers of influenza are the COM
pIcations. Influenza pneumonia is
often fatal. Empyema often follows

larger Association bespeak a field of
usefulness in making for a better City.
The Association has placed the FL
nancial and Internal Management
of the Home in the care of a Board of
Directors and a Board of Man
ayers aggregating so members and
through the efforts of these energetic
people, the Home MUST SUCCEED.
Mrs. Clara Studymire, is Chairman
of the Board of Directors and Execu-
tive Head of the Home and Mrs. T.
G. Macon, Secretary. Mrs. Bertha
Hensley is Chairman of the Board of
Managers and Mrs. Estelle Davis, Sec
rotary. The Chicago Association of
Commerce indorses the work. Miss
Jennie Lawrence is a most competent
Superintendent and is using every en-
deavor to make the Home ideal in
every respect. Mrs: Alice Lyles is
Chairman of the House Committee.
Miss Robinson of the Eleanor Asso-
citation, very kindly made it possible
for us to secure regulation beds for
our opening in August last and the
place has been nicely furnished through
the generosity of gifts from Furniture
Stores, from the Residents of the Home
and from individual contributions.
The management is making a lively
campaign to raise the debt from this
Institution and add such departments
as will make it a valuable adjunct to
the Social Service of the Community
and invaluable as a factor for civil
betterment.
$4,000 will place the Home nearly
or quite on a self-supporting basis.
Who among the many who are looking
towards a greater and safer Chicago
will come forward and help in raising
this amount in the next ten days.
Checks sent to Mrs. Jessie johnson,
Secretary-Treasurer, 1925 Vernon Ave-,
will receive prompt acknowledgment.

influenza pleurisy and may be fatal.
Various forms of heart diesase prin-
cipally functional are apt to follow GER
tain forms of la grippe. In the present
epidemic of influenza peritonitis and
appendicitis have been observed. Gall
bladder disease has often followed at
tacks of "Grippe"; gall stones (chole-
lithiasis) may follow.
Many cases of chronic ill-health date
from an attack of "Grippe."
To avoid la grippe and the complied
tions live true to nature. Take health
full exercise in the open air. Keep
clean, eat regularly the proper quality
and quantity, get sufficient sleep in a
properly ventilated sleeping apartment.
Avoid overcrowded places and the
vitiated atmosphere found in most
places of human habitation. Get the
proper quality and quantity of air,
night as well as day. Be a fresh air
crank. Don't be afraid of the cool,
fresh air.
TO CURE THE "GRIPPE" CON-
SUIT YOUR DOCTOR EARLY AND
AS OFTEN AS NECESSARY; avoid
patent medicines, you cannot afford to
take the chances with so important a
matter as your health.

THE cURr1s-DAm.EY WEDDING.

Last Wednesday at 6 P. NJ. Miss
Eleanor Jane Curtis, one of the most
popular and progressive school teachers
of Washington, d. c. and this City,
was united in marriage to DR.. U. Grant
Daley, of Chicago.
The marriage ceremony was Pc.
formed in the Fifteenth Street Presby-
terrain Church at Washington, D. c.,
Rev. F. J. Grimke, oficiated. A bril-
liant reception was held that same
evening from z to 9 at the home of the

Many distinguished guests were
present at both the wedding and the
reception, from all parts of the eoun-
try.
DR.. Daley and his new bride, ar
rived home Sunday morning, bringing

to her home. She is what you might
call a real educated woman.
Then they have some professors down
there that you can just see their educa-
ton in their feet as they walk. They
have their heads so full it looks like
they are running over with knowledge.
L will not comment on them more at
this time. had the pleasure of meet
ing them, and talking with them.
In the city of Selma, 1 met Mrs.
Shelley Taylor, the wife of one of the
leading physicians in the south, DR..
Taylor. Of course L met DR.. Taylor
also, but 1 have in mind to say few
words about him later, and will call at
tention to his wife. She is a woman
who has taken advantage of the school
room and is well educated. Her hus-
band came from Iowa to Boston, Ca,
and from there to Selma, Ala, where
he is building up fine practice. He
knows the human body and can cut it
dll W plCCCo anu bhCA put IL OdCh W
gether again. What a great man.
Visiting Mrs. Taylor, was Mrs.
Rebecca McCants Glover, from Hen
derson, KY, the wife of a leading
dentist. Mrs. Taylor 1 met some years
ago in Buxton, Iowa, and I remember
Mrs. Glover, because she was for long
time the cashier and bookkeeper, and
stenographer in the A.. NJ. E. Sunday
School Union under Bishop Chappelle.
But there came along a young dentist,
who asked her to be his wife and after
considering it for a long time she ae-
cepted, and now they are happy. They
are just like lovers all the time. She
is getting away from the Kentucky cold
weather and basking in the Alabama
sunshine
Now then I left that place, came to
Montgomery, and had the pleasure of
visiting the State Normal school under
Prof. John W. Beverly, one of the
greatest men 1 have met. He is plain,
common sense educated man, and 1 tell
you they have some students there. 1
had the pleasure of seeing the whole
student body in chapel and heard a
talk to them. After looking around in
Montgomery for little while 1 then
left for Birmingham, where had the
pleasure of talking with Mrs. J. s.
Jackson, Mrs. Carrie A. Tuggle, pres
ident and founder of Tuggle Institute,
DR.. U. G. Mason, Mrs. F. M. Cosby,
and a host of others.
Mrs. Tuggle is without a doubt a
remarkable woman, and if you have
not met her it will pay you to meet her
before she leaves this world. She is a
genius, and then she is a leader of
women, and manager of children. She
is worked from the groundfoor up to
the top, and is at the head of a number
of societies. 1t was manners to look
at her. You will see from this that 1
have been looking into education. 1
did not get to meet Prof. o. W. Admas,
editor of the Reporter, and principal
of the Tuggle Institute, but they tell
me he is a cracker jack. I will not say
more about Birmingham, for I spent
one night and day there and left for
Nashville, to attend the National Negro
Press Association.

Trustees.
Mrs. Martha Walton as Chairman of
the Volunteer Subscription Fund, raised
$500 and MANY FRIENDS. The
residents of the Home, with Miss Jen-
ME Lawrence, an interested non-resi-
dent as Chairman, surprised the Man
agement with 1920 raised by their
efforts. !. -....-
January 2, 1913, Board of Trustees
was formed of seven members. Mrs.
Eva Jenifer, Chairman, Mrs. Estelle
Davis, Secretary and Mrs. Mary War
ing, Treasurer. This Board took the
responsibility of looking after the f.
nancial affairs of the Home and after
a year of strenuous work which en-
gagged every Auxiliary, Clubs and indi-
vidual help, the debt was again re-
duced, this time to 100000 and taxes
were made exempt.
In September, 1914, the City Fedora
tion of Colored Women's Clubs, by re-
quest of the Executive Board of the
Phyllis Wheatley Club appointed four
from their number to increase the
Trustee Board to eleven members and
interest correspondingly increased in
the work of building up the Home.
Mrs. Minnie Collins was Chairman
of the Executive Board from 1912 to
1915. They decided to enlarge the
scope of the work of the Home and
on June 81, 1915, this Board was in
creased to Is members. At joint
meeting of the Executive and Trustee
Boards, July Goth, Phyllis Wheatley
Association was formed. Mrs. E. L.
Davis, President; Mrs. Minnie Collins,
First Vice; Mrs. Clara Studymire, Sec
Ond Vice; Mrs. J. Snowden-Porter, Sec
rotary; Mrs. Jessie johnson, Financial
Secretary Treasurer, and a Board of
ID Directors were elected and the work
given into their keeping. Thus the
joint Boards of the Phyllis Wheatley
Club transferred its authority and re-
Sponsibilities and assured the Phyllis
Wheatley Home larger and more Sc
cure future, still keeping alive their
love for and interest in the movement.
The Phyllis Wheatley Club had long
realized that their proposed work
could not be the useful factor needed,
until better and more commodlous
quarters could be secured and they i'm
mcdiately interested the new Assoela-
tion in securing new quarters. Ihls
was done and the purchase of property
ut 1886 Rhodes Ave-, was set ABOUT.
Allowed $500 for the old property a
debt of $4,000 was assumed, OF whlch
$500 was raised in sixty days leaving
a balance of $500. $1,000 of this
amount is due by March first and the
balance of $1,000 in May, 1917. In all
efforts. the largest single cash donation
given was $4,000 which came from a
woman in a time of pressing need and
was secured through the efforts OF MIS-
f. L. Davis. We can say with much
pride that very much the greater part
of all monies raised by these efforts
came from the Negro race. We oeheve

Charles E. Stump, for the
Past Two Weeks, Has
Been Vending His Way
Northward from His
Long Tour Through the
Southern States, His
Last Stand or Stop
Being Evansville, Ind.

In my last letter I failed to tell you
about my visit to Uniontown. This IS
the place where B. W. Fits was born,
and 1 had the pleasure of seeing the
house where he first discovered this
world, and met his mother, sister and
brother He is the young man who Is
conducting a printing establishment IN
Chicago. When 1 met him last Christ
mas in Chicago, he invited me to visit
his home, and found it just as he told
me 1 would find it. His mother was
in good shape.
When 1 told Mrs. Fits that L knew
her son in Chicago, she received me
Just like she was receiving her own son,
and Mrs. Rebecca Fits, assured me
that 1 was at home. She is the
daughter-in-law, but just like real
daughter. Into the home 1 went and
spent my time there.
Evansville, Ind have crossed the
line again, and for a little while L am
going to be away from Jim Crowism
and take in little of this cold weather,
yet it will not be long before L will
return. 1 am going to look after things
in Kansas for a while, and get ready
for my crop next summer. L tell you
this newspaper business is just little
more than 1 thought it would be, but
since 1 am in it, 1 will stick to the
business until I get a call up higher.
Riding through the south without
anything to eat, sleeping when you can,
is not all that you might think it is,
vet am glad that have gotten some
thing out of it. 1 have seen some OF
the world, and then have met some
real good people and made some friends
that 1 would not have made, and it is
now nv desire to thank the Editor of
The Broad AK for making it possible
for me to do all these things.
When 1 took my pen in hand last to
write you few lines to inform you OF
nv health, 1 was in Selma, Ala, the
guest of Prof. R. B. Hudson, and it is
a pleasure to be in his home. You will
see that 1 have left there and today L
am in Indiana, and may be in Chicago
Sunday.
I did not mention last week Prof. H..
E. Archer, and his able wife. Prof.
Archer, NJ. D., is president of Payne
University, Selma, and it is one OF the
schools of the A. NJ. E. church that is
worth while and one of them that is
really doing something. 1t was to me
a source of pleasure to come in contact
with him. He is graduate from some
big school up in Michigan, but has been
in the south for a number of years. He
was connected with the A. and M. col
lege, in Normal, Ala, under the late
William H. Council, and after the
death of DR.. Council, he heard a call
from Bishop II. B. Parks to come to
Selma, and he responded to it.
Mrs. Archer is one of the best trained
women in this country and then she is
just making things 60. L don't know
as I have ever seen a woman have so
much to do. She is matron, preceptress,
teacher, and almost everything else
that you might name, and then there
is no trouble in reaching her. With all
her education she will hear the most
illiterate and you will find welcome
