night attacked Chihuahua City. He

refinement. In the productions for
this season there is a leaning toward
black, in this house, which is especial

net and taffeta are combined in a way
that will please the discriminating, is
shown in the picture here. 1t has a

full ruche of the silk. 1t is draped in

If the designer had stopped here
there would be nothing lacking to
make this an acceptable afternoon
frock of a simple and attractive sort,
but with nothing about it to bespeak
the genius that is expressed by modes
from the house of Jenny. Therefore
the designer did not stop, but proceed

A lounce of the net is set IN under
the ruche about the hips and allowed
to fall until it reaches a length more

partly to the fact that many of the

In ancient days the region north or
the Alps was mainly a dense forest
South of them has always been the
open fertile Italian plain. The WINDS
from the north were dry and cold;
those from the south warm and laden
with fertilizing moisture. Thus nature
herself imposed a different atmos-
phere upon these two sundered re-

tanned beneath the pillow, the essential
difference abides. Fertile Italy climbs
aloft from one side; strenuous Ger

Doctor Miller said in part:
The race problem constitutes a
challenge to Christianity in the world
today. If Christ should come to Amer
lea, he would not ask of the Christian
church how many costly edifices have
you constructed, or how well have you
organized your schemes of endeavor
according to the exactness of business
efficiency; but rather what are you do
ing for the least of these my brethren
in black whom circumstances have
placed in your own midst?
The Negro cannot be segregated
from the communal life of which he
forms an inseparable part. 1t is not
necessary to like the Negro in order
to be interested in him. You may hate
with deep malignity your fellow-pas-
senger on an ocean steamer, but the
moment he becomeo afflicted with the
smallpox he ELECTS your keenest inter
est and anxiety, for he has the power
to communicate to you the malady
which has afflicted him.
Every ignorant Negro in Indian
apolis lowers the standard of intelli-
gence Of the city. Every vicious one
impairs it's moral reputation, everyone
who is sick affects the health of your
fair capital. Those disease germs pay
absolutely no regard to the doctrine
of race superiority. They are not
even frightened at the scarecrow of
social equality, but gnaw with equal
avidity at the vitafs of black and white
alike and pass with utmost freedom
and satisfaction from one to the other.
Strong emphasis should be placed
upon the Negro. not because he is
black, but because his needs are great

may well lay aside all pr%econceived
theories of racial arrogance and con
ceit and apply yourselves in the spirit
Of Christian brotherhood to this great
human task.
The Negroes as a mass had to be i'm
proved in their efficiency through in

the anne time they need leaders to
guide them wisely amid the dangers
and vicissitudes of life. Just as we
