DR.. HACKETT BUYS
home OF HUDSPETHS
l4& JEFFERSON SITS.

One of the most important real
estate deals to transpire recently
among the colored people of this city
was closed this week when DR.. W.. C.
Hackett became the owner of the
property corner of Jefferson and
Fourteenth streets, formerly owned
by Mr.. and Mrs. w. B. Hudspeth.
This recent purchase places DR.. Hack
EFT among the largest owners of real
estate in our group. Two years ago
he purchased the home of Judge Kill
bey, 1884 East Jefferson street, and
his recently acquired property which
adjoins this on the east, gives him
possession of nearly half a block Of
residence property.
The doctor has let a contract for
the erection of three apartments on
his Jefferson street property and
when completed will be a boon to
the colored people who have expert
enced difficulty in finding modern
apartments in which to live.

TAKES INTEREST in
College FOOTBALL
(By The Associated Negro Press.)

(By The Associated Negro Press.)
Washington, D. c., Dec. 2.-Wash-
ington is indebted to Dr. Emmett j.
Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard
university, for the biggest society
and athletic event in its history. See-
ing the possibilities of making the
Howard-Lincoln football game Of the
same national importance as the
Harvard Yale and Army-Navy foot
ball games, Dr.. Scott took up, along
with his other important duties, the
management of the details in connec-
ton with this game so as to put the
whole event on high plane of busi-
ness efficiency. He then advertised
the game from Boston to Norfolk,
sending special news items out each
week to the whole group of news

ored people who have ever gathered
for an event of this kind were gath
cred in attendance at the American
Baseball park, Washington, D. c.,

WORSHIP AND WORK

SAYS NOTED DIVINE

New York, N Y, Dec. 2.-St.
Philips Protestant Episcopal church,
considered the wealthiest Negro con-
gregation in the world, has just closed
a weeks celebration Of the centennial
of its incorporation The big edifice
in 134th street, between Seventh and
Eighth avenues, held more than 1000
parishioners as the Rt Rev. Charles
Sumner Burch, bishop Of the diocese,
delivered the sermon at the opening
exercises.
Bishop Burch expounded his belief
that worship and work" must be
combined to get to heaven. And the
world needs the combination" he said
1t is not. however, an age Of material
ism, since all around are examples of
divine work, and the church still ad
vances against all opposition. The
evening meeting was addressed by
the Rt. Rev Henry Beard Delaney,
suffragan bishop of North Carolina
and head Of st. Augustine's school at
Raleigh. A historical pageant depict.

CLEANUP NOW ON
in windy CITY--NO
CROOKS ALLOWED
(Ry The Associated Negro Press)

Chicago, Dec. 2.-Consternation
prevails along the "Great Light Way"
the world famous Chicago Stroll"
State street, and its intersecting
thoroughfares that have been furnish
ing amusement "and other things" for
the night life of the Windy City" it's
habitual joy seekers, and the
stranger within our gates"
1t all comes about through COM
bination eort of city, state and nation
to make Chicago, "everybody's home,"
a spotless town. All admit that the
authorities have "some job" but the
manner in which the work has been
carried on recently prevents anyone
from saying, at this time at least, that
they are not succeeding.
Crime became so widespread in
Chicago that Mayor Thompson asked
for the resignation of Chief of Police
Garrity, and Immediately appointed
his secretary, Charles Fitzmorris, as
chief. To the credit of former Chief
Clarity lie it said he performed splen-
did service during the riot of 1919,
the Abbysinian disturbance, and an
other embryonic racial clash here
when a Catholic priest stopped the
mob that was after the life of Col
ored man.
Chief Fitzmorris Immediately got
busy in the effort to stamp out crime.
He ordered raids on all gambling re-
sorts and announced that political
pull" would avail nothing. The chief
of detectives announced that men in
the various hold-ups went immediate
ly to the gambling resorts with their
foot and gambled it away, therefore
all such resorts must cease to exist
instanter.
Famous cabarets Closed
Then came Attorney General
Brundage, who appeared before Judge
Landis and asked that a number of
saloons and cabarets that have been
violating the eighteenth amendment
be clased as a public nuisance.
Following this move, District At
torney Cline asked federal injunctions
against the opening of number of
the best known cabarets in the city,
among which are Dreamland and En-
tertainers, two places always filled
nightly with lovers of gay life, where
there has been an intermingling of
races in a manner unknown to any
other city in the country. In the list
also, of places closed, is a number OF
well-known Loop" establishments.
! Some of the "old timers" predict
that the present crusade is merely a
furry" while the authorities say they
are badly mistaken. "It's going to be
permanent, Chicago must be made a
safe place to live for all citizens who
wish to live decent, respectable lives
Crooks, thugs, gamblers and all who
seek to live by their wits, men and
women. will have to ply their nefari
GUS trade elsewhere" say the authori.

To Our Readers

No person is in a better posi-
tion to know the attitude of
the business concerns of a +:
community than the one who
solicits the advertisements
and comes in personal contact
with the heads of the busi-
ness concern.
When the advertisement of a
! business firm is carried in the
Tribune, it not only serves
as an announcement of the
! special prices or the line of
goods handled by that con-
: Germ, but it is a Direct Invi-l
tation to members of the race
: to patronize the business
place; further, it is assurance
of fair and courteous treat
ment.

spent several years in re-establishinp
his schools that were in many cases
numbered among the Casualties OF
war" Mr.. Berlitz returns to America
to find that there is an overwhelming
demand among educators for the study
of the foreign languages. A Washing.
ton Citizens association has recon.
merded that Spanish be taught exclu-
sively in the public schools, giving as
its reason the belief that Spanish
should be mastered by the rising gen
Grafton because it is growing into
favor as a commercial language.
French, German and Italian are re-
ferred to by this same association AS
languages that belong more to so
cial affairs" This viewpoint will
likely be disputed by thousands Of
overseas men, who believe that their
"parlez vOus' need to be b~uttressed
by a fuller knowledge of the French
language, or perhaps Italian, and
maybe German. So it is interesting
TO know that a great many of these

boys and men are studying their Ber-
litz textbooks at home, and some dav
they all expect to 60, like the woman
from Texas, to the big city where
they can get into more intimate CON
tact with teachers Of their selected
foreign language.
The department of labor says that
twenty-seven out Of forty-three arti-
cles going into the family market bas.
ket have decreased in price within
the month. The same department
found that ten out of fourteen repre-.
sentative industries showed a decrease
IN the number Of employees last
month. Wheat, -four, cotton, textiles.
leather and even sugar,
moved downward. Most of the
readjustments are arriving gradually.
and there is evidence that the ountry
is returning to the sanity OF normal
periods. Many leading manufacturers
reached the conclusion that they
help in getting things back to nor
NAL, by pocketing a loss on supplies
hand. They believe that this pol
icy will eventually work out to their
good, and that of the country.

CAN RAISE GOOD MULES

That good mules can be raised in
South Dakota was demonstrated al
the county fair at Roscoe, recently.
by a fine showing of these animals
from Edmunds county farms.
These mules were sound and prom.
ising and will find a quicker and
higher market than colts would from
the same mare, according to ]. C.
Holmes, extension specialist in live
stock at State college.
Rough mares with slight blemishes
generally raise sound mules but are
not a to raise colts.
There will no doubt be a good de.
mand for mules in the coming years
and South Dakota can grow them
Judging from indications at Roscoe
and other points in the state now
raising good mules.
Men with surplus mares, that have
some size, and who are having a hard
time ~disposing of young horses will
n 1t more profitable to raise mules
to raise colts. Medium priced
Jacks can now be purchased with a
certainty of breeding so
why not make ready for raising mules
instead OF horses in the coming years

month. But in August, 1920, the rail
roads moved more than 1000 car
loads in excess of the 1918 record.
an July, the last month on record
the average mileage per freight ca
increased to 25.7 miles per day, which
is greater by A miles for July, 1919
This, in the fewest possible words
shows the result as a whole Of the
individual effort recorded in the re.
ports herewith presented.
What makes the railroads realize
that they must go on breaking trans.
%portation records is the fact that in
the first week of September car reaui-
sitions in excess of the number that
the railways could supply were a lit,
tie more than the figure for mid.
August. This fact indicates no diminu-
ton in the present demand for trans
pOrtation. II will be met by an un-
diminished effort on the part of the
railroads."
In 1914 the United States treasury

and the country was finding a lot of
fault with this high rate of expenses.
But now the treasury is disbursing
approximately $15,0 0O, 900 a day. Many
causes have contributed to swell the
expenses of government, and the in
terest on a debt of some $25, 000, 900.
900 is by no means an insignificant
item. But since 1914 we have the war
risk bureau, the federal reserve sys-
tenn, the increased work of the inter
revenue, the enforcement of pro
hibition, the farm loan banks, the
shipping board, and a hundred other
activities.
The question Of the reduction Of
government expenses will confront the
next congress, and if the usual after
processes are in working
order there will be considerable
cheese-paring on small but spectacu-
appropriations. The average man
will infer from the figures printed
above that expenses are growing fast
than the country itself, and any
and all talk concerning economy in
government is very timely in the pre-
period. 1t is a good thing to
impress on Mr.. Congressman while
he is at home.
A woman from Texas with two
weeks to spend in the national capital
devoted several hours daily to studying
he French language. 1t was one of
he objects of her visit to Washing
