BY MILTON BRONNER
LONDON, Oct. A.-Iban Saud
sultan of Nejd in interior Arabia
by advancing on Mecca, capital Of
King Hussein Of Hedjaz, has start
cd a blaze which may set the whole
Mohammedan world afame.
Every one of the world powers
including the United States, is no
ticing with uneasiness this tribal
brawl which upon its face would
appear only a personal rivalry for
possession of various deserts, palm
trees, harems and shrines.
Hussein, then sheriff Of Mecca,
aided the allies during the war and
was rewarded by being made king.
His territory includes the holy cities
of Mecca and Medina. To Husseir's
sons were given the kingdoms of
Iraq, formerly Mesopotamia, and
of Trans-Jordania east of Palestine.
Sultan Starts War.
Sultan Ibn, type Of the ancient
zealot who carried the crescent
throughout the world at the point
of the scimitar, has no patience vita
Hussein, his policies and his religion.
Recently he declared open warfare
He captured Taft, Hussein's summer
capital, 60 miles east Of Mecca Il
is his reported intention to seize
Mecca and drive the king to tie
protecting guns Of the British fleet
at Jeddah.
There begins trouble for the dem
inant Christian powers.
No nation wishes to take sides in
the quarrel for fear Of offending its
own Mohammedan subjects who al
ready are restless enough. There
are about a quarter Of billion Mos
lens in the world, most of them liv-
ing under the flags Of Christian ma
tions.
England has millions in India the
Soudan and various dependencies

KHAN PUT TO ROUT BY IN.
DIANA DEMOCRATS

Indianapolis. - Overwhelming the
tenacious opposition of a Ku Klux
Khan bloc welding approximately one
fourth Of the votes, the Democratic
state convention here rededicated the
party to the constitutional guarantees OF
freedom Of worship and expression
and nominated for governor DR.. Garlic
ton B. McCulloch Of indianapolis,
who was opposed by the khan in the
recent state primary.
State Senator Joseph NJ. Cravens
Of Madison, supported by the khan
forces, held vote Of 800 through the
last Of three ballots. Later motion
by Cravens' followers to make the
nomination unanimous carried by ac-
examination.
DR.. McCulloch, in a field Of FIVE,
won a plurality Of $4,000 in the pri-
mary, but failed to secure a majority,
which threw the nomination to the
convention. He survived seven op-
ponents.
The Hoosier delegation to the ma
tional convention, headed by Tom
Taggart Of French Lick and avowedly
favorable to United States Senator
Samuel Ralston, was uninstructed.
Parliamentary wrangling by the OPP
position after the reading of the plank
on freedom and liberty" served only
to delay for a moment the thunderous
reclamation which wrote the pro-
nouncement into the platform.

BOOK CHAT
BY MARY WHITE ovINGToN

for the Advancement Of CoIored People

shadows continually Jim's WIFE This
colored boy is the superior Of all the
white boys about him. He has gen
erous spirit and fine mind, but the
white world refuses him success. He
describes what happens to him when
he is called upon to recite. Its all
in my head, all fine and correct to a
T. Then I'm called on--I stand up
all the white faces looking at me-and
can feel their eyes--I hear my own
voice sounding funny, trembling-and

there's nothing remembered and I

written exams"
This is what the white world does
to Jim Harris. And If the world
without stultiies his efforts, his wife
pushes him down ten fold more. Her
superiority complex makes her, cheap
little thing that she is, feel herself SUI
perior to the finest black. She will
kill him if he succeeds in his ambition
to pass at the Bar. In her madness
she attempts this more than once.
I'm so happy" she cries, when he
fails. Il was praying with all my
might, God, don't let Jim pass.
| had gone thus far in my review
when Rosalie Jonas, author Of many
exquisite poems on the Negro, came
in after seeing the play and told me
I was all wrong. 1t is, she declares,
first and always a marvellous love
story. Jim Harris has no inferiority
complex. III he had he would be ag-
gressive. bumptious. (She's right
there). He is highly sensitive per-
son, poet, living in a world that
enjoys crushing his kind. His love
for his wife is among the most per-
feet examples OF selfless devotion in
all dramatic literature. O'Neill here
reaches the peak of his great genius.
Another critic would give another
viewpoint. You must read the play
to know it, and then read it again.

This is Mr.. O'Neill's third play deal
ing with the Negro. 1t is a theme
that appeals deeply to his Imagination
and that he always presents with great
power. The play has been much COM
mented upon, owing partly to the ex-
element at the announcement that it
would be produced in New York with
mixed cast. The production, how
ever, has passed off without a ripple,
and Robson has acceptably main
tanned the important leading role.
The scene is laid in New York in

colored children play together and
have good time, the Negro made
conscious, however, by jibes, Of his
race. Jim Harris has little sweet

tones must be somewhat subdued
The artistic effects should be pro-
duced by the beauty of the color
combinations of the contrasting fab
ric, the motifs and border. Colored
linens, unfadable. and that will stand
repeated launderings, make excellent
foundations. These come in soft
greens, old blues, ripe mulberries,
forest browns, mellow yellows and a
score or more of other exquisite
hues. The filet motifs should be in
a contrasting color. For example, a
woodland brown. with inserts of
pumpkin yellow filet, would be rich.
Mulberry linen, with orchid tilet or
old blue, would be equally interesting.
Sage green and black is another good
color combination.
Finishing the Edges.
The cover may be finished with an
insertion of filet done in openwork
squares, with no other design intro
duced. Sew this over the turned-back
edge of the cover. The tone of the
foundation fabric will show through
the spaces in the filet, giving a pleas
ing harmony. No lace is required.
Elastics VS.. Tie String.
An interesting method of keeping
card table covers in place and hold
ing them so firmly that they do not
slip, which Is important, is to use
strips of elastic instead OF tapes.
Near each corner of a covec sew a
strip of silk Cor cotton) elastic, fas-
tening it to both edges so that IL
forms a diagonal strip on the under
side OF the cloth. After the cover is
put on the table pull the elastics down
over the corners. When all corners
are so arranged the cover Is firm
without any visible means of being
SO secure. There are no tapes to tie,
which is sometimes bit awkward to
do, nor to come united IL the strings
happen to be pulled, which may be
even more annoying.
Sateen With Gay Motifs.
Black mercerized sateen with ap-
plique patchwork corners make smart
covers. The colors in the applique
should be bright to Offset the SOM
berness of the fabric itself. There
is a chic touch to card tables dressed
with such covers. Black is fashion
able, and the applique trimming &
lends distinction. The colors should
wash, though such cover will not re-
quire frequent launderings.
