IN KIDDIES Toes
Small Costumes Patterned After
Large Ones Are Smart.
Plated, PlaIded and Embroidered
Clothes Prove Charming for
the Little Folks.


Dresses and coats are no less smart
these days for being caught while they
are young. You see, observes a fash
ion writer, small costumes pattern
after large ones and SO, of course, they
are smart
Autumn costumes for grown-ups are
very much plated, plaided and en-
broidered, hence small clothes must
follow suit. When these various styles
are fittingly adapted to the needs of
little people the effect is nothing short
of charming.
How do you like the clever adapta-
ton of the eton jacket and the plated
skirt?
Here there is wonderful opportu-
nifty for using bright colors, since the
skirt may be made of Roman stripe
or plaid material Suppose you use a
red wooden for the little jacket and
striped red and brown for the skirt?
The collar and cuffs may be made of
plain white organdie or batiste and
basted to the frock so that they may
be easily removed for washing. A
single large smOked-pearl button
should be used to fasten the jacket in
front.
Perhaps you would prefer a dress
which takes its color from the autumn
woods, as they appear in the earlier
season, you know, just when the leaves
change their color. Make the jacket
of dull green and the skirt of plaid or
striped material in which there is
much brown, green and red.
Among the materials you have a
choice of serge, gabardine, jersey cloth,
duvetyH, twill or flannel
Let us say you use orange-cOlored
duvetyn for the top and a plaid in
which there is much orange and brown
for the skirt. A lapel is placed on the
skirt to make uD for the absence OF

scarfs Are Much Worn.

The cool days have brought with
them a vogue for scarfs, worn tucked
under the belt in front, or with one
end thrown over the shOulder-in fact
almost any way. Many of the scarfs
are of a soft wooden material, in
stripes of vivid and soft colOrs COM
bined. Others are woven in silk
thread, having knitted effect. A
fringe of the material finishes the ends,
or they are just left plain.

Small hats of short haired furs are
being prepared for early winter. Fur

entire hats.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. IA reso-
luton demanding that Negroes be per-
mitted to exercise their right of fran
chise as granted them in the Consti.
tuition of the United States was passed
by the Union League, a Republican
organization of colored citizens. The
resolution reads:
The Union League, republican or
ganization organized in 1916, for civic,
social and political purposes, has from
its incipiency taken an active part in
all public spirited movements and has
also given its undivided support to
every movement, both civic and po-
litical, which had attendency to racial
advancement. The league believes un-
compromisingly in the fundamental
principles of republicanism and is un-
alterably opposed to political autoc-
racy, and, realizing the shortcomings
of the past, it is looking forward for
developments in the reconstruction for
the betterment of racial conditions.
The Negro is 100 per cent Ameri-
can, not because he helped to redeem
it from the wilderness by the ener-
gies of his arm, but because he has
bathed it with his blood, watered it
with his tears and hallowed it.

Rev. w. J. Conquest, pastor of the
First A. M. E. Zion church of Phoenix,
Ariz., is a native of North Carolina
He received his education at Princess
Anne academy, Maryland. and at Lin
coin university, Pennsylvania. He was
ordained Elder by Bishop J. w. Hood
and has served as pastor of many
prominent charges. His last charge,
before coming to Phoenix, was at Val

Bishop without dollar or member.
He bought a fine church in good To-
cation with pipe organ and other
modern church conveniences. This
property is conservatively estimated
at $4,000
He was transferred to Fayetteville,
N. c., to one of the Oldest and most
prominent charges in the denomina-

Bishop Hood when he was pastor
He refused this excellent charge to
build church for Zion in Phoenix He
already has secured fine site at the

GODS CHOSEN PEOPLE

keep PUSHING FORWARD

The Jews called themselves Gods
chosen people" 1t is perfectly ma
tural for people to speak well of them
selves; for, we rarely get commen-
dation from others. And while It's
said that self praise is no recommen-
dation; yet, honesty compels the
statement that the Jews are a won
derful people Their mastery of the
principles from which success ever
springs, can be attributed largely to
the persecution that has followed
them so persistently even for cen
turies before Moses sang his baby
song as he nestled midst the swaying
bull rushes on the Nile Cruelty
drove together and solidified the race
Their life became an exemplification
of the Dumasism. "One for all, and
all for one" They learned the value
Of education and race loyalty, con
sequently their rabbis and other
leaders were always educated and
loyal men, They could not see the
wisdom of "the blind leading the
blind" They learned the value of
virtue in women, so they gave thei
women every incentive to be virtuous
other forces to keep them SO. for
they were to be the mothers of their
children. Jewish men do mot "be-
foul their own nests" They learned
the value of money, and we may say,
with Montesquieu, wherever there is
money, there are Jews" They have
used it as a lever for centuries, and
through money, backed by intelli-
gence, they have stormed the citadel
Of prejudice, and wrung from an un-
willing public every right and pri-
vilege sacred to citizenship. They
have learned the value of the arts,
and study has brought them to the
proud eminence of culture which
ever engenders the envy and jealousy
of those less fortunate in wooing the
goddess of fame WE MAY WELL
LEARN FROM THE JEWS! In
years long covered with the dust of
ages, they were slaves, and between
their Egyptian or Ethiopian rulers.
their lot was most unenviable. But
the stone that the builders rejected
has become the chief stone of the
corner!" They were not chosen by
God particularly for his people, for
IF all he created, he smiles upon ALL"

to it, Should we not do likewise and
