His ability to write plays, short
stories and novels with equal sue
cess has now been supplemented by
his achievement as Q writer for the
screen.
Mr.. Hughes has always been alive
to the ridiculous aspects OF chang
ing fashions. This comic sense has
expressed itself in such plays as
Excuse Me" and The Richest
Girl in the World" In his novels
AIR. Hughes has sought to vfvify the
foibles OF American life and to
point out how customs that seem
permanent are as ephemeral as those
of every previous generation. His
novels. What Will People Say,F
The Thirteenth Commandment and
The objectionable, Sin." illustrate
the sattrical trend of Mr.. Hughes
vision.
But he also sees the simple. ten

unusual facts in connection with the

Reginald Barker, the director, made

is that pure and simple. Many of
these imposters are merely in the
game for what is in it, knowing that
many OF our people are super-religious
and will give their last penny to the
church.
Chicago needs more business enter
prises and fewer so-called churches
and these store fronts could be used to
an advantage for this purpose
All OF these preachers must be paid
by somebody-somehow. The presi-
dent of a white insurance company in
cidentally showed the writer a check
recently which was about to be mailed
to one of these ministers of the Cos
pei for charity The cause for
which the money was solicited may be
all right, but a special request was
made to make same out to John Doe.
On the face of it, it looks suspicious
and such suspicion might have been
removed had an organization been
named for the check to be made out
to. All of these things cause honest
ministers to receive less support than
they deserve and some steps must be
taken to rid society of these para
sites" and force them to do an honest
days labor.

Those with the interests OF chris
tianity at heart cannot but be troubled
over the developments and tendencies
on the part of some who would COM
mercialize religion
OF course no sane man would dare
criticize or make any statements about
"the" church that would hinder its
progress. God forbid that this paper
will ever be charged with such doings.
Criticism is only in order when it tends
TO construct rather than destruct.
Ii is often said that we possess more
religion than all other races put to-
gether, if numbers of churches count
this must be true. The writer took the
occasion few days ago TO count the
number of churches in Chicago be-

In order that the desired end may
be attained the bath should be taken

Remember to pay strict attention to
the rules that govern a bath. Many
persons bathe too much; others TOO

the one most violated, is that in rub

Editors Mail

Mr.. Joseph D. Bib, Editor,
THE CHICAGO WHIP,
1920 State Street,
Chicago, Ill.
Dear Sir:
| would like to ask you a question
which has bothered me for some time.
Why do our people continue to put
thousands and thousands of dollars in
huge piles of stones, paying as high
as $85, 100000 for one church edifice?
Why not put the same amount of
money in a factory which would give
employment to hundreds if not thous-
ands of our people rather than place
hard earned dollars in huge stone
structures which in many instances
finally become garage or some other
place of business.
Why do not our elergymen instruct
their people to invest their money to
a better advantage? If the same peo-
PIE would invest the same amount of
money that they put in churches in
gilt edge securities like the Public
Life Insurance Company and others
they would really have something
saved and aided a company which
would employ many of the race.
| ask you why?
Very truly yours,
COUNT F. R. CARMICHAEL.
