FIND CHEESE SUBTLE THING
Reason That 10 Advanced for the Ap.
parent ImposslbiIity of Initiating
the Genuine camembert.
%. 1873. Western Newspaper UMoa.l

A man interested In agricultural
products wanted to make cheese of
the type of Camembert, but while he
had the same ferment, employed the
same methods and used what seemed
to be the same kind of milk, neither he
nor anyone else In this country OBJ
tanned the same result.
On visiting France he found that the
makers Of the cheese In question were
very particular about their milk, OBJ
tanning 1t from the dairymen Of GER
tain district only. In the fields of these
farmers there grew, he found, sprink-
ling of certain grasses that he did not
find elsewhere, and it is possible, and
even likely, that these make the subtle
difference in the milk that shows in
the cheese which distinguishes the gen.
uine from the artificial product.
And yet, the special grasses were
only incidental; they were not the
main grasses Of the pasture, which

WED ONLY CLOSE RELATIONS
custom OF Burmese Tribe Leads to
Marriages Between Extreme Old
Age and Youth.

The only occasions on which lads
and lassies Of the Red Karen tribe 10
Burma meet are at marriage feastn
and at wakes, according to the Ma
donal Geographic Magazine. These
festivals last over three nights, and
are veritable orgies, with great ex-
cess OF eating and drinking. Both
sexes are well-seasoned vessels. since
they begin drinking strong drink be-
fore they are weaned. Marriages are
limited to near relations and result
quite often In unions where husband
and wife are of very unequal age, the
husband fifteen, the wife seventy. or
the other way about.
Punishment for marriage out Of the
clans was formerly very severe. Alarge
hole was dug in the ground and
log placed across It, to which two
ropes were attached. The ends of
these were noosed round the necks
OF the offending pair. They were
made to jump into the pit, and SO hang
themselves.
Now they are accommodated in.
stead, and never allowed to enter a
Karen village again. The two VII
lagos Of Kara In the Nan-kwo circle
are said to be inhabited entirely by
such clipping couples.

THIS NEWSPAPER HAD THE MORAL
COURAGE TO STAND BY HIM TO
THE BITTER END AND AT ALL
TIMES FREELY PREDICTED HIS
ELECTION.

Tuesday, April 3, 1923, was the sec
onf litical emancipation day for the
vast majority Of the colored people
residing in all parts of this wonderful
city, and it remained for Hon. William
E. Dever to become the real political
emancipation of the colored race here
and his influence in that direction will
be felt among the colored people in
all parts Of the United States north OF
the Mason and Dixon Line.
1t is almost impossible to realize
the fact that after fifty years Of poll
teal serfdom on the part of the col
ored people in this city that they
should suddenly wake up all at once,
throw or cast off their slavish repub-
lcan political yoke which they had
been proudly wearing around their
necks for, 10, these many years and in
the twinkling of an eye, as If were, and
march on to victory under the Demo-
cratic banner Of Hon. William b.
Dever for mayor of Chicago.
Sometimes it seems to us that an
electric spark, some way or other
came in contact with every colored
person in this city, and that that cleo
tric spark or that some strong, unseen
power grabbed every colored man and
woman, giving them a good shaking
up, stood them on their feet and, with
out the promise of slipping one dime
or one dollar in real money to them,
marched them off to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket.
For it is estimated by the wisest
cold blooded and selfish politicians
that fully sixty-five per cent of all the
colored people in this city recorded
their votes in favor Of the election Of
Hon. William E. Dever and his run
ming mates, Hon. John A. Cervenka,
the newly elected City Treasurer, and
Hon. All. F. German, the next City
Clerk. That at least ten per cent OF
the colored people remained at home
and refused to vote at all; that about
twenty-five per cent of them voted tor
the Hon. Arthur G. Lueder; that be-
tween so and IS thousand colored peo-
pie scattered throughout this city
voted for Judge Dever; that every
vote which he received from colored
person counted two; that the votes
which he picked up ia that direction
amounted to go to 20 thousand; that
without that vote his majority over
Mr.. Lueder would have been in the
neighborhood Of forty thousand in
stead of l03,748 votes.
The colored people, in order to show
Mayor Elect Dever and the head lead
ers Of his party that they meant busi-
ness and that there would be no mis-
take about It as far as they were con-
cerned, the End, 3rd, 18th, SIND, 2sth,
And, 18th, 10Th wards and all the
other wards which contain large or
small colored populations were turned
over to Judge Dever by the colored
people residing in those respective
wards.
The colored people have shown or
proven their friendship for Mayor
Elect Dever; they loyalty stood by
him when lie needed votes and greatly
assisted him il every way to become
the mayor Of the second city in the

Monday evening, Easter, the ANA
teur Minstrels, whose members were
loaded down with salt and pepper, real
live jokes, and with lot of snap and
ginger, and with many new specialties
or attractions, held forth in their
twenty-seventh annual show and dance
at the Eighth Regiment Armory.
Regardless of the downpour of rain,
fully four thousand people had crowd
ed into the Armory to witness the
show, and to join in the dancing which
followed it.
At no time in the history of Chicago
has there been such large gathering
of representative Afro-Americans in-
der one roof, for it can we'll be said
that the brains and wealth of the race
in this city was in evidence at all times
and many handsome gowns worn by
the ladies, including Easter hats and
other ornaments for the head could
not be surpassed in elegance and bril-
liancy.
Once each year, or the Monday eve
ming after Easter, the Amateur Min
stre1s hold forth at some of the large
halls in all Of their splendor, for the
benefit of the Old Folks Home, which
is worthy cause and which is an
institution highly deserving of gener-
GUS financial support, and the public
at large are we'll aware Of the fact
that every dollar which they lay out
for tickets to attend the Amateur
Minstrel Show will be we'll expended.
Hence the large attendance at their
annual frolics.

ing minds have for SO many years
been poisoned by the willy or oily poll
ticians who have simply wanted to use
the colored people as a door mat or
footballs to retain them in Office
for their sole benefit and not for the
benefit Of the colored race.
Notwithstanding all Of the harsh
treatment and the many insults which
were constantly heaped upon our head,
we never complained and we always
met The insults and taunts with a pleas
ant smile, for we felt deep down in
the bottom OF our warm, liberty-Ioving
heart that the great bulk Of the col

what they were doing; that every race

thinkers; that the colored race is no
exception to the rule In that respect.
So after rs years Of writing or
preaching on our part the coIored peo-
pie in this city have at last slowly ar
rived at the point in their steady prog
ress upward and onward where they
will no longer permit the tricky poll
ticians to tell just how they are going
to vote by the color of their skin.
That is all that we have been man
fully contending for. for the past rs
years, and we feel exceedingly glad
that in our weak and humble way we
have been able to render lasting ben

make it possible for him and the lead
ers of his party to handle millions
and millions of dollars worth Of pat
ronage each year for the next four
years. Therefore, we have every rea-
son to believe that Mayor Dever will
freely invite his colored friends and
followers to march under the victori-
Gus banner with him and help to share
the spoils Of victory which has for
many years been one of the main slo-
gans of the Democratic party.
