Melodious Harlem:

1t is now "Melodious Harlem" not
Niger Heaven" with a trained
chorus of 1000 Negro voices, which
made its initial appearance last week
in the Junior High School, Edge
combe- avenue and 136th street. The
choristers are known as "The Awaken
ing Chorus and have begun their
career not with any particular empha-
sis upon Negro spirituals, but with
equal attention to Hande1s Messiah"
and similar oratorios.
"Link hands with the world in song"
is the motto of the chorus, which is
Harlem's offering to the Negro COM
munity life Of section Of America 5
greatest city.
Cosmopolitan Harlem, the so-called
devotee Of night life and where, ac-
cording to blind critics, life is held
cheaply, now adds community chorus
to its achievements. Think Of it and
then recall that Harlem is not back
ward in any respect. Harlem had an
example to follow - the example Of
American conquerers of music, art,
commerce, business, etc. Would Har-
lem lag in accomplishment? OF
course notl Harlem is only doing
what Democracy permits - and in
New York, thank God, Democracy is
not the captive of Fear, Prejudice and
Suspicion.

Lace and Chiffon Are
Combined in New Frocks

The influence of resort fashions is
clearly seen in the increasing number
Of chiffon and lace dance frocks that
are being worn. At the Florida re-
sorts, frocks of this type dominate the
mode. Those Of chiffon are, as a usual
thing, untrimmed except for the adroit
and interesting handling Of the mate
rial, and depend for chic and distinc-
ton upon line, color and fabric.
Frocks entirely Of lace are equally
important, especially those Of black or
Of creamy white delicately threaded
with silver. TERED effects are fea-
tured In the dresses worn by debu-
tantes, while the older woman's frocks
follow more draped lines. Strikingly
effective is a debutante's dress of
black lace with a fiounced skirt and
an interesting decoration in roses and
leaves made Of crisp organdie.

Yoke Adds Style
to Child's Coat
Handsome New Creation for
Little Misses-Chic
Spring Model.

A yoke invariably adds a becoming
touch TO a small girls clothes. In the
accompanying drawing, from the
Woman's Home Companion, the artist
has designed a very unusual one
which forms deep point in the front
and curves pleasantly across the back.
The slanted line Of the yoke and rev.
ers In the front carry the eye down to
the fat pearl button. Even the patch
pockets slant.
The coat as 1t Is illustrated is made
OF a light shade Of flannel lined with
a handkerchief linen that matches the
nannel In color: 1t Is intended to be
worn with frock of the same light
green. The linen lining may be a
shade darker or a shade lighter than
the coat If preferred. In that case OF
course the frock should match the lin
Ing. When linen Is used in this way
1t must be dampened, dried and
pressed before it is put into the coat
In order to be thoroughly serviceable
and stand Tubing or cleaning.
For heavier coat homespun is sug-
gested lined with flannel or a rough
worsted with perhaps a Jersey lining.
Homespuns come in pretty pastel
shades which are easily matched in
other materials. A Jersey frock and a
jersey lining Of the same color make
smart costume for school or play.
The possibilities for material and
color combinations in design Of this
kind are manifold. For instance there
are prim all-over designs In printed
silks that seem especially suited for
little girls. They make good-looking
frocks and Innings for cheviot, serge,
kasha or flannel coats. Probably the

Notes of the Mode of
Interest to All Women

A spring ensemble street costume
sponsored by Chanel combines a
straight bolero jacket, a jumper
blouse and short plated skirt. This
model was exhibited in black and
white.
For afternoon wear, q one-piece
canton crepe dress Of sistine blue was
worn under black coat. Blue scroll
work in all-over design was embroid-
cred on the black coat fabric.
.Gooseberry green slippers matching
two-toned green shoulder flower
gave a touch of color to a white and
silver costume.
Another spring ensemble presented
at fashion show combines a coat Of
independence blue, a dark indigo, with
tan beige one-piece dress.
Black and white plaid skirts will be
worn with castilian red jumpers for
sports wear.
Prints Of multicolored flowers on
black MORE ground are very chic.
Although simplicity marks the day
time mode, evening models are most
elaborate. A white dinner gown, en-
brOidered with large gold roses, was
worn under a white wrap also en-
brOidered in gold rose design.
A two-piece sports costume had a
sleeveless jacket over a short plated
skirt. The jacket was Of dark pal
metto green, the skirt Of a lighter
green called pistache.
A jasmine yellow sports sweater had
stripes of orange, red, violet and blue.
An attractive afternoon frock Of
twO-piece design had a blouse of rose
breath chiffon. edged with silver jet.
An overblouse of black chiffon draped
over the pink vest was tied in a grace
full bow. The skirt, also of black chif-
fOn, had gaudets, tipped with silver
jet.
Liberty blue shoes were worn at a
fashion show with a blue and white
sports dress.
Afternoon wraps of black satin had
huge collars of white fox fur.
COfored slippers, large two-toned
colOred flowers and gorgeous ostrich
fans will accentuate the color schemes
of the various costumes. Hats Of light
shades give a contrasting note Of
color to coats and wraps.

Half-and-Half Dress
Shown in Spring Mode

An afternoon bolero model cunning
ly involves three shades of geOrgette.
The long-sleeved bolero and skirt are
in gray mounted over light rose, and
this in turn posed over a darker rose,
the two rose shades appearing in mar
row bands below the gray.
These subtle shadings are very pro-
nounced in the mode, and even three
shades of one color may enter into
a harmonizing scheme, this especially
in grays and greens. Combinations Of
pink and violet are seen, wine and
pink. mauve and blue and two or three
shades Of blue may blend with perfect
accord and positive chic
Impossible quite to overestimate the
Importance of lace. "The lace dress
may not be so pronounced" says Fash
iOnable Dress, but a half-and-half
scheme, the other half chiffon, geor-
gette or some other light fabric, is a
marked note in the spring mode.
Green lace plays part with green
things, but it is black lace that as
sumes its leading role"

Jamaican Products for Canada:

Jamaican Products for Canada:
JamaicaN and Western Canada are
at last IN commercial touch with each
other The first shipment of exports
from Jamaica, B. w. l., consisting
largely Of a sugar cargo, is expected
to be sent out from Kingston within
the next week. The boat which i
bringing the sugar shipment to West
ern Canada has already deposited a
lumber shipment in Kingston. and
thus Great Britain establishes new
commercial interchange between two
OF its important countries.
The British West Indies, with their
energetic Negro population, are much
IN need Of goods from North America
In turn there is much that North
America could utilize from the ambi-
ton, brains and Drawn of the West
Indian natives. That they are cana
bic of reaching great heights in indus
try and education has long since been
proved. Commerce between Canada
and Jamaica should stimulate Great
Britain to help the Jamaicans to i'm
prove their lives and living. British
employers should be able to advance
wages in Jamaica; to improve educa-
cational facilities; to advance social
life; and to bring about a greater rec
ognition in world affairs for its little
West Indian Subsidiaries. This would
be good work for Johnny Bull, and it
would pay doubly in results on the

People, Should Be Defeated in His
Desire to Elevate Mr.. D. ]. Nor
moyle to the Circuit Court Bench
1t will be recalled that Hon. Mica
ael L. Igoe, who is one of the head
bosses Of the Democratic party in this
city and state, worked early and late
prior to the late election in this city
for the purpose of stirring up strife
between the white and colored people
which, in time, would have brought on
bloody race riot in this city; that
Mr.. Igoe was the worst and the BIT
terest Of all the anti-Negro speakers
and seemingly it was no fault of his
that the devil was not to pay in this
CITY al That time.
Notwithstanding that fact, Mr.. Igoe
and his Democratic associates who
were just as bad and as rank or as
raw as he swas at that time, have
Matched up cold blooded scheme to
place the names of eight Democratic
candidates for Circuit Court Judges in
the Republican column so as to be
able to blindfold or hoodwink the
colored people, and that without
knowing it they will be voting the
Democratic ticket from fore to aft,
early and late, and that will assist to
elect some Democratic judges who
will treat them with scorn and con-
tempt If they should ever be 50 unfor-
tunate to fall into their respective
court rooms.
The next issue Of this newspaper
will contain the names of the Demo-
Gratis and Republicans whom the col
ored people can safely vote for for

The Power of Blood:

Captain Charles A. Lindbergh, hero
aviator Of the world, who recently
performed the seemingly impossible
feat of flying an aeroplane from New
York to Paris, is now the center OF
discussion among blood scientists Of
the great white world. 1t seems that
Mr.. Lindbergh has coursing through
his veins strong strains. of Swedish
English and Celtic blood, the pro-
ponent Of each of which, in the early
discussions, claimed that it was that
particular strain which gave the young
aviator sufficient courage to battle
sleet water and winds for more than
thirty-three hours in mid air.
The scientists reached a compro-
mise, however, when they agreed that
# was the coalition Of all three-Swe-
dish, English and Celtic-which pro-
vided pluck to conquer the raging
water and wind.
The last theory is quite encourag-
ing to the sons and daughters OF
Africa, who, since the advent of their
ancestors in this country more than
three hundred years ago, have, in
some way or another developed as
many strains of blood as Joseph's
coat had colors.
Who knows, for instance, the blood
content Of one who has only one
eighth of Negro blood and seven
eighths Of something else? Take this
phenomena, for example, in Georgia,
where the Oglethorpes reigned for so
long, and who could say what strain
is most dominant in the multicolored
members of the Negro race. Does
Swedish, Scotch, English, French, or
Spanish blood dominate various ones
among the brethren" and is it be-
cause Of such strong strains that such
heroic measures are invoked to
keep the Negro in his placer"
Anyhow, now that Matt Henson
has reached the North Pole, and DR..
George Carver can make Honey" out
Of sweet potato, we opine that Afri-
can blood, too, must be made up Of
corpuscles of pluck and courage, and
that when mixed with other strains,
it produces as potent a fluid as any
other blood admixture

vogue for at least two and possibly

Gray and beige promise to be inn

Kasha continues a standard fabric,

where there Is kasha there is also
beige. Gray silk frocks are among
the prettiest seen in the showings, pre-
saying the mode Of spring.

The final result of the voting of the
members Of the Chicago Bar Associa-
ton was a good joke on the coalition
Democratic and Republican bosses
who always strut around as though
they owned the whole earth and its
fullness thereof for they selected
Messrs. Otto Kerner, Michael Fem
berg and Stanley Klarkowski to put
to flight Judges Johnston. Torrison
and Thomson, but it was not in the
cards that they should or would be
defeated in their race as independ-
ent candidates for judges OF the
Circuit Court, and they won a great
victory before the Chicago Bar Assoc
citation and put to fight those three
almost unknown lawyers who are
thrusting themselves forward for
judges of the Circuit Court, and so
far neither one of them have set the
world on fire with great legal lore,
and we freely predict right now that
judges Johnston, Thompson and Tor
rison will be reelected to the Circuit
Court bench.
Judge John R. Caverly Should Be

county should see to it that Judge
Caverly is retired from the bench al
