"CHICAGO'S HEALTH"-ADDING
YEARS TO THE OTHER END
Weekly Bulletin, Chicago Department
of Health, by Herman N. Bundle
sen, M. D., Commissioner

"A ten years sentence and $25,O0000
in fines is a severe punishment Ten
years out of ones life. being deprived
of the things we love and, in addition,
paying a sum of money in reduced
earning capacity is the penalty Of
breaking health laws.
This happens every day Of the
year" says Dr. Herman n Bundesen,
in his latest bulletin.
There are many persons who just
feel 'middlin', as they say; not. bad,
nor really sick, but simply not fit.
They blame everything under the sun
but themselves for their failures. The
battle of life is a success or failure de-
pending on the exercise of right health
habits,'' says the Commissioner.
MANY persons do their exercising
about three months in the year; that is,
during the summer. OF course the
warm weather invites outdoor life This
means walking, rowing. baseball, golf
ing. and a number of outdoor games
and recreation. Then follows nine
months of inactivity and reduced exer-
else.
During the cold weather, exercise is
also necessary because it is during this
time indoor living leads to overeating
and lessened activity. To offset this
condition. there are many gymnasium
and health clubs that offer a variety OF
health-promoting. recreational sports
and exercises" is the advice of DR.
Bundesen.
Right food, rightly eaten, enough
rest and sleep. plenty Of fresh air and
sunshine, enough play. freedom from
worry, and cleanliness both inside and
out, are the prime factors which keeI
US out of the sickness prison, increase
our earning capacity, and enable us tc
enjoy life as we go along" says tht
Commissioner.

THE SIXTH ANNUAL RECEP-
TON AND DANCE OF THE
APPOMATTOX CLUB, 1892
SOUTH PARKWAY

Last Thursday evening, the far
famed Appomattox Club, which has
become the highest class social and
civic club in the United States, held its
sixth annual reception and dance at
St. Elizabeth Assembly Hall, 400 S.
Michigan avenue.
So far it was the very finest func-
ton given by it. 1t was attended by
fully FIVE hundred club members and
invited guests; guests being present
from New York City, Washington,
D. c.; Philadelphia, Pa; St Louis,
Mo-; Atlanta, Ga; and other points.
All the ladies were handsomely and
extensively costumed and they looked
ever so sweet and charming. With one
or two exceptions, all the gentlemen
appeared in full dress evening suits and
looked right up-to-date in the minutest
detail.
President David B. Hawley and
Secretary Frank S Stephens assisted
by the other members of the club,
made it very pleasant for their honored
guests.
Cooling refreshments were served
free throughout the evening. and no
one was called upon to spend one cent
to contribute to the pleasures Of the
evening. The dancing music was live
~ and snappy and was greatly enjoyed
BY the dancers and it seemed that
everybody danced and regretted to
strike out for their homes when the
orchestra struck. up Home Sweet

Cheap Seeking Material

No material Is manufactured at a
smaller cost than gunny. 1t is
strong, coarse sack-cloth manufac-
tured chiefly in Bengal from jute, but
to some extent also in Bombay and
Madras from sum hemp. 1t is also
manufactured in Dundee, Scotland,
from jute imported from Bengal, and
I'm small way of late years in the
United States. The weaving Of gunny
is a great domestic industry in India.
1t gives occupation to men, women and
children. Boatmen employ themselves
weaving in their spare moments, as
do farmers, carriers and even DO
nestle servsnts. The weaving is per-
formed upon the rudest kind Of loom,
consisting merely Of few sticks and
poles fastened together with Irvine.

RACE RELATIONS TAUGHT IN
MANY TEXAS COLLEGES
Among Most Popular and Effective
Courses, Say Professors in
All-Day Meeting

Waxahachie, Tex-Thirty college
professors, representing twenty OF the
principal universities and colleges Of
Texas, gathered here last week and
spent day making plans to forward
the study Of race relations in the col
1eges Of the State A number Of those
present have been conducting such
courses and practically every one re-
ported that they were among the most
popular, well attended, and effective
courses that are given. Others who
are not giving specific courses in race
relations reported that they are dealing
with the subject constantly in their
other classes, particularly in connec-
ton with the study Of sociology. One
of the former group, who is teaching a
college race relations class of forty, is
giving also an extension course on the
same subject to a hundred public
school teachers in the city of Houston.

Overlooking" said one. II get more
fun out of that class than any other, "

While have no specific class in race
relations, am relating the subject to

testimony was that the prejudices Of
students on this subject are quickly
transformed into open-niinded fairness
when they are given the facts.
A number Of teachers Of sociology
in Negro colleges were present and
emphasized the need that similar
classes be conducted for colored stu-
dents. Race prejudice, they asserted
is not all on one side. and colored stu
dents also need to be guarded against
it by a study Of the facts. The repre-
sentatives Of the colored group wert

said that statistics gave the number

about 80 had data and this gave the

said little attention had been paid to
attempting to educate our people as
to the functions and uses of banks. We
had taken it for granted that the aver
age man knew all about this institution
when as fact he knew very little
about it and from the number OF banks
started among our group and the
meagre knowledge the men who start
ed them had and the grim tenacity
with which they held on to such banks
with such little knowledge concerning
that the number which failed was not
startling, III fact it was a startling fact
that not more had failed He said that
if a program Of educating the people

each year such a program of enlight-
eminent as had been started by the di-
rectors Of the Binga State Bank would

N GRO WOMEN AVOIDING
CHILDREN PRESENTS Sc
RIOUS PROBLEM
preston News Service)

(PreSton News Service)
New York City, Mar 3.-Despite
the considerable increase in the Negro
population and in the increase of the
marriage rate, the actual number Of
Negro children under FIVE years Of age
was less in 1920 than at any Of the pre-
vlous enumerations. In 1000 the num-
Der OF Negro children under FIVE wears
of age was 1,216,655; and in 1910. the
number was 1,263,288; in 1920 it was
l,143,699l "And this" says Alice Dun
bar Nelson, the distinguished Negro
Journalist, writing in the March num-
Der OF the Messenger, a Negro maya
zine, in the face of increased knowl-
edge OF the care and feeding Of in
fants; the work of the insurance COM
panies in health. Negro Health Week,
public health nurses, clinics, -dispen-
saries, and all the active agencies for
the conservation and preservation of
health"
Mrs. Nelson is writing an exclusive
article each month for The Messenger
on the problems of Negro Woman
hood. In explaining the decline of the
birth rate she says: Negro women
are exercising birth control in order
to preserve their new economic indie
pendence. Or, because of poverty of
the family, they are compelled to limit
their offspring" Her conclusion is
that dire consequences both for the
Negro family and the Negro group in
America are bound to flow from this
practice.

RELIGIOUS IDEALS POWER IN
CHANGING RACIAL
ATTITUDES
preston News Service)

Washington, D. c., Mar. 5--As one
of the speakers at the morning session
of the Inter-racial Section of the
American Friends Service Committee,
in convention here last week, DR..
George E. Haynes, Secretary Of Com
mission on the Church and Race Re
lations Of the Federal Council of
Churches, in stressing the need for
changing prejudicial attitudes, said in
part:
when emancipation came with the
legal amendments, the Negro became
a man according to the law, but prac-
tically in everyday affairs he was not;
because on both sides of the racial line
there were lacking the emontional atti-
tudes and habits of action necessary
for independent manhood and citizen
ship.
"The race problem between white
and Negro groups today is essentially
and fundamentally one Of individual
group attitudes Of states Of mind based
upon feeling. These attitudes have
grown up out of past historical con-
ditions until they have become emo
tionally fixed in personalities. These
attitudes we term Race Prejudice, =
one of the most terrific and unyielding
forces that move individuals and
groups. To change these fundamental
attitudes is essentially a moral and re-
ligious problem, because it is only the
moving power of the religious ideals
that can modify or remove the preju-
dices of individuals and groups.

SAFETY PAYS!
By Chief of Police Morgan A. Collins

Keep your children off of the street.
Such is the gist of this weeks bull
letin, issued by Chief of Police Morgan
A. Collins, pointing out the dangers
that exist for little ones in crowded
thoroughfares. From February q to
Y one child was killed, and " chill
dren injured In the same period last
year 81 children were injured.
Warn your children against hitching
on vehicles. Impress upon them that
automobiles come around corners and
tell them to wait on the curb. not in
the street for passing traffic.
Playing marbles in the street is ex-
tremely dangerous. Warn them
against climbing telegraph poles.
Death turks in live wires.
Children are thoughtless and care
free. They must have constant pro-
lection. Everybody must do their
share.
In many districts the youngsters are
without Fairgrounds and the streets
are their romping places. Always
drive slowly when children are seen
playing in the streets.
Motorists must drive carefully, keep
children off their cars and obey all
traffic rules. A Child in the Road Is a
Danger Signal: Go Slow.

"Wires" Sent BY Pigeons

Before the invention Of the electric
telegraph, carrier pigeons provided the
fastest known means of transmitting
messages, and were even used by Eng
fish stockholders to get early reports
on the market
The carrier pigeon is useful because
of his accuracy in returning to his
home, and the speed of his flight He
must be carefully trained over a long
period. Pigeons have been known
to carry a message as far as 500
miles In one day. During the Franco
Prussian war they were used by both
armies to carry messages, but the In
vention of telegraph and wireless soon
led to their abandonment.
