Conservative Type

Colonel Knox, if elected, would
probably follow good old Republi-
can tradition. He would have sin
certify and conservatism. He would
be a strong and strict organization
man and would make Big Business
breathe more freely for he is one
of the staunchest of them all.
Old line Negro Republicans
would be happy, His regularity
would take care of that and they
could continue as they did in the
past under previous COP. admin
istrations They would probably
find him mice man" kindly dis
posed toward their pleas. Other
than that there is no indication
that the race would either progress
or suffer with Colonel Knox in the
White House.
Asked by the Associated Negro
Press to give his reactions to GER
tain pertinent questions of particu-
lar significance to Negro voters,
Colonel Knox had this to say:
Broadly speaking, it is nay be-
lief that the Negro must surely be
considered essentially an important
part of the American people: he
must be freely and equally advanc-
ed through educational means, and
his own responsible leaders must
say when and where he is ready
and able to take a greater part in
American citizenship to the credit
of his own race"
Negroes may draw from that
what they will.

port of the Knox candidacy. The
publisher last year fostered great
constitutional convention viii c h
was a brilliant stroke to foster at
tention on the party's slogan of
Save the Constitution" Imme-
diately afterward DePriest had
similar convention on the South
Side. He had Colonel Knox for mis-
principal speaker and the Daily
News owner is considered to have
provided substantial support for
the meeting.
It would appear, however, that
Colonel Knox knows little, ii any
thing, about Negroes except pure
ly in the abstract. He he'd very
few contacts with them except dur
ing his 1898 fighting days. His
life has been taken up mainly with
business and in localities and fields
where few colored ventured. Like
most big business men of the North
Colonel Knox appears to regard
Negroes with tolerant, half-kind-
ly attitude. He probably considers
them one of Americas problems
Still, he is not inimical and 1t is
improbable that he would wilfully
do anything to hamper the Negro.
In other words, black folk are here
but they don't count much either
way.
There is located here an organi-
cation known as the Civic and We'll
fare League of Chicago, composed
of young Negro professional and
business men who WELD tremen-
dous influence in South Side cir
cles. Last summer many impor-
tant leaders were invited to talk
at the forest preserve meeting of
this organization 20 miles from the
city each Sunday on various top
les. Publisher r. r. Mccormick
of the Chicago Tribune, supreme
court justices and men of that type
were heard.

Colonel Knox was asked to adj
dress the group. He was schedul-
ed to tell the assemblage how the

and more helpful part in the civic
and social progress of Chicago.

and when he spoke delivered a pre-

the same that he uses at political
gatherings. 1t had nothing at all
to do with the Negroes part in
either the city or the country, I'M

affairs.

- MEMS NODES - Wider Brims Top Hat Styles

BY WALTER c. PARKES NEA Service Stan Correspondent

New York-The addition of quarter Of an inch on the brim or off the crown of hat produces as great difference as it would on the end of your nose, so the trend toward lower crowns and wider brims on mems snap brim felt hats, now crystallized into the out standing style note in the new Fall models is quite radical. Like most snap-brim styles of recent years, this new 100 per cent Ameri- can" model was sponsored by the smartly dressed Yales, Harvards and Princetons on their respective campi.
 The new hats come in @ variety of finishes and edge treatments. Among the latter, raw, welt and silk bound edges are the most popular. For long tme dark brown (the famous brown-with- black band) has been the leading collegiate color, but this Fall sees good reception given to some of the lighter shades of brown such as snuff and pecan This does not mean that dark brown hats Will ini- mediately disappear In fact one particular shade of brown, dark as to be almost black, has high position on the chart of smart colors Gray, me- dium to dark, is the chief dsputant with brown for top honors in color.
 Another important development in headwear fashion is the rise in popularity of the hoburg and other hats with turned-up brirns. Undoubtedly the original impetus to the resurrection of off-the-face styles stems from their adoption by England's we'll dressed Anthony Eden But another factor is the

Offensive and Defensive Smash
 There is, or should be, some dis tinction between the offensive and defensive smash. In other words every player should know when, and when not to apply the pressure when smashing back Q lob.
 I have found that the majority of players can smash with greater accuracy and force from their fore- court than from their back-court Naturally, 1t is much easier to put away a ball that has begun to drop just after clearing the net, than tt rush back after a high lob that is dropping in the vicinity of the base- line. In fact, any ball, or lob that you can move forward to when about to smash. should be an offen- sive smash. '''
 On the other hand, if you have
 been forced to scramble back to
 your baSe-line to retrieve . lob,
 get back there as quickly as pos-
 sibIe, and concentrate on play
 Hnk bWG DhMHSm &CCuH6SO1y1 @Ahu
 .. if necessary, desensively.
 Any lob that is smashed from
 above the head and shoulders,
 even from the e-line, should
 be quite forceful, even though
 speed has been sacrificed for ace
 Curacy.
 Smash from. the net and fore- court then with intent to kill" and from the back.court, or base-line with careful deliberation and acc curacy. Make every smash count from you, not against you.
 It Is usually much safer to smash from the vicinity of the base-line by permitting the lob to bounce first. This enables a player to get set, or under the bell without hav- ing to hurry this stroke. Simply run back to about five feet beyond where the ball Is to bounce, then as 1t lands in court, step forward tlll- der the ball with the feet in the same position as when playing Q service stroke.

It was recommended by the manager of my hotel, an old yodeller who has been shinnying up peaks since he was knee high to 8 glacier. We were standing on a balcony of the hotel when I suggested I would like to do 6 little climbing.
 All about us and almost on top of us were Alps-little Alps, big Alps, skinny Alps and fat Alps. My friend asked which one would like to try and, after studying them all carefully, said: That one," point ing to what thought was very

 Big Margin

Toronto, Ont, Sept. 2.-CUP)- Frank Pritchard of Buffalo, N. Y., was $2,5O0 richer today after win- ming the worlds professional five mile swim" in the icy waters of Lake Ontario in record breaking time.
 Pritchard outclassed the field of 6l starters so far that he crossed the finish line a half mile in front of his nearest rival, Warren Priddy, virtually unknown swimmer from St. Catherine, Ont. Pritchard's time of two hours, seven minutes, nine seconds, broke the record of Gianni Gambi of Italy, last years winner, by minute and 46 seconds. Gambi, favorite to win yesterdays event again, had to be pulled from the 6l degree water with 8 bad case of cramps after swimming only 8 mile and a half.
 Priddy won $700 for finishing sec- ond and Charlie Gareau, Sudbury, Ont, won third prize of $350. Fourth place and $200 went to Nicholas Ostapyk of Ottawa, while fifth and $100 was won by Johnny Cairo, Toronto, with sixth place $50 going to William L. Nolan of Chelsea, Mass.

Following the failure of the Brooklyn Professional softball team to provide taxis, tea and cake, for the Reporters lastnight, the former club found themselves all alone on the Lake Quassapaug field last night and therefore annexed the County championship on forfeit.
