COLORED WOMEN RE6ISTER VOTE IN FAVOR OF 6. 0. P. Anita Patti Brown Speaks in Favor of Harding on Her Concert Tour. Which is To Be An Extensive One. WANTED TO NURSE OWN SOLDIERS New Enfranchised Citizens Dis play Intelligence in Deciding In dividual Ballots. CHICAGO, Sept 30.—Great inter est is being manifested by colored women in the campaign. They are display ing a fine intelligence of the issues and are apt to adopt the most approved methods of organization to the end that their vote may have a telling effect. It has be»n a source of general surprise the remarkable in telligence the average colored woman has shown for the points of conten tion. They enter into every' phase of the current discussions, and display every indication of having followed the trend of politics through the years of their fight for suffrage. Occasionally a colored man might find his way into the Democratic party, but there is yet to be discov ered an active colored woman Demo crat. Colored women are all Re publicans and it is a matter of gen ' era! congratulation. Mrs. Anita Patti Brown, famous singer and ardent supporter of the candidacy of Senator Harding, sees very clearly from the colored wom an's point of view. Mrs. Brown trav els extensively with her concerts and has delighted audiences throughout the country, and is a great favorite among the women of the race. “Since we have arrived at our new | estate and have full rights with the men we are firmly resolved to serve our rare by voting the Republican ticket." said Mrs. Brown. "Wher ever I have appeared there is an earnest interest in the election and the women have a full understanding of what is required of them. Of course, in many instances the simple matter of method in voting is not so thoroughly understood among our women, but there is no doubting that the desire of colored women is to V vote for Harding and by so doing help the race. There may be some doubts in the minds of the men but you may be sure that there are none N| abiding with the women. All through the border States the women have been waiting for this great boon to g show their loyalty to the party that has always been loyal to them. "The fact that the Democrats denied the privilege to colored nurses of nursing our colored wounded soldiers in France is a standing grievance that will not soon be forgotten. We all did our bit in the war, all of us, from the leaders of our women folks to the humblest washerwoman. We bouglit Liberty Bonds, worked in every ca pacity that was opened to us, and no one could cast any reflections upon our loyalty, hut our girls were not permitted to nurse their own brothers and sweethearts in France, it mat tered not what their qualifications were. “It is not only the colored men who have a grievance against the Demo cratic administration, but the wom en as well. The malicious segrega tion that is undertaken in the govern ment offices at Washington is a dis grace to the country and a humilia ^ tion to our people. Colored parents educate tjiei r daughters and when they go into the civil service examina tions and win appointments, the Dem ocrats refuse them positions that they have honestly won on account of their color.” WEDS GERMAN, LOSES LEGACY Hartford Man Disinherited by Teuton Hating Grandmother HARTFORD, Conn., Sept, 30—-Be cause he married a German wife Ar , thur C. Johnson of Philadelphia is disinherited in his grandmother’: will, filed here today. How strongh the testatrix, Mrs. Ellen Tuttle John son of this city, felt toward German: is shown in this clause in which she cuts off her grandson: “I do not wish any portion of nr personal effects to go to a Germai wife or her family. Mrs. Johnson, who died Thursday in Hopington, Mass., distributed cash leg aries of about $38,000 in her will. Playing the Game The Negroes of Baltimore, indig nant because their race has not been I given recognition in the distribution of patronage by the republican senator, Smith, of that state, have nominated a Negro lawyer of that city for United States senator. Without the support of the Maryland Negroes, Senator Smith is doomed to an overwhelming defeat—Lawrenceville (Ga.) Herald. SUBSCRIBE FOR THE MONITOR. Patronize The Monitor Advertiser*. COLORS IN THE HOME ROO(v,i> Many Tints to ,-Rick From, but Har mony Should Be the Watchword for Cheerfulness. “This Is the blue room," so mnny people who are showing you their ! homes will say to you, “or this is the | pink room,” am) the only thing you I can think of is how could they think | It necessary to tell you. you couldn’t possibly make a mistake, it certainly was blue—or pink, as the case may he. The trouble Is that they do not realize that every room needs splotches of different colors to give it character. For example, one young woman want ed a rose bedroom. She bought white furniture and had the walls done In pale pink and white striped paper. There was a rose rug on the floor with a darker rose border, roses ran riot over the white curtains, the ehnirs were upholstered in the same rose cretonne, there was a rose lining un der the lace her] cover, and a rose chif fon shade on the reading lamp at the head of the bed. Everything was love ly, and yet she didn’t like It, but she didn't know why. Her first guest was an Interior decorator and she was able to put her finger on the difficulty from the very start. She made her put the rosy cretonne curtains In another room, and get a black and white str1p“d material for the windows, hang a stunning black lacquered mirror over the low boy. change the lamp shade for a French blue one with rose colored trimmings and pot a few dashes of the French blue about In lit tle accessories, a quill pen on the desk, a couple of candles on the dress ing table, and It was perfect. In a bine room, of course the blue predominates, but If there Isn’t any thing else hut blue it Is terribly cold and gloomy. A very lonely blue living room has chintz over-curtains In blues, yellows and greens, there Is a yellow shade on the floor lamp with blue bands the rugs are in soft oriental colorings, and there Is a great, glow ing Maxfleld Parrish print over the couch, which has a black cover and bine and yellow cushions. ATTRACTIVE GIFT FOR BABY Container for Soiled Linens Is Easily Made—Same Idea Serves as Wastepaper Basket. A very useful little inexpensive gift for the new baby Is a baby's soiled linen box. Ask your outfitters for a small round hat box about one foot high, and with no lid. Take a piece of rosebud, or some other small design, chintz or printed sateen and cut ex actly to fit around tile box, of course figuring enough for the seams. Allow three Inches at the bottom end of the chintz, and stitch a hem for a draw string. Slip the box in and draw the strings. The bottom should draw up neatly Just under the box, and the top well over the edge. One will find that with the heading added there Is just enough room left to slip in the little garments easily, and yet they will not fall out, should the box be overturned. The slip cover, being loose, can be easily laundered. The same idea would answer equally well as a wastepaper basket, carried out on larger scale.

MDDYJOTWG fAMMlfl BONNER _ ® turnon OLD WEATHER “One thing that annoys me," said the weather, "Is the way every one seems to think it Is my duty to do as each one wishes. Now that Is impossible.” “I know that,” r e p 1 I e d Peter Opome. “I know that full well. But it does seem to be Imfd to make people un derstand that" “Now, 1 was missing a fam ily of deer eating cabbage. They nere as good as could he,” said the weather. “They looked at me out of their beautiful eyes, hut they didn't scold me or grumble about ine.” % “They are so sweet and gentle," said Peter Gnome. "And I saw some beavers, finite a colony of them,” said the weather. “They didn't complain of me." “No," said Peter Gnome, “they have too much sense. Though I don’t like to say people haven't much sense, for they have a great deal, in one way they're very foolish. “If they only knew that it did no good to grumble about the weather," Peter Gnome continued. “If they only would understand that the King of the Clouds and old Nurse Fog and the Mist Grandchildren and the Winter boys, such as old King Snow and Prince Sleet and all had to have their j time around once In a while, and that It was very foolish to grumble.” “What I can’t understand,” said the weather, “Is this. In the first place : I’ve been here for years and years and years and years. There has always been Old Man Weather. 1 am older than these creatures who grumble. | Parents tell their children to respect | their elders. They tell them not to : be rude and ro forth. “But they don’t tell them they ; should he polite to Old Man Weather, j They don't tell them that at all. And they don’t set the children a good example. They grumble a great deal : more than the children, a great deal more. It Is dreadful the way they grumble. “Now one can’t expect anything bet- j ter of the children If the grown-ups j are going to set them a bad example. But how I would like to tell them a few things! How I would like to say to them: “‘Don’t you know that I’m an elder, too? Why don’t you teach the young- i er members of your family to be po lite to me and why don’t you set a good example yourselves?' That Is what I would like to say to them, I would. “Ah. yes. Old Man Weather, has been here for n great many years, and It Is high time creatures would know that he does thlngR In his own way. i He Is an old fellow now and he can't learn new ways. "He isn't a child. He can’t go to school and learn his lessons all over again. He must do the way he has always done. The way his teachers, the King of the Clouds, Mr. Sun, old Nurse Fog, King Snow, .lack Frost. 1 the Breeze brothers and Mr. Wind have taught him. lie has had fine old teachers and he must do as they say. fie cannot begin and do things differently. I do wish they would understand that. I get so tired hear ing them grumble. “I must do as my teachers have tiinght me to do. I must give a va riety of weather, weather of dif ferent kinds, for I am weather and I am made up of all sorts of days. “If 1 were .he same a 1 w a y s, they'd get tired of me, and It would n’t be fair. If It never rained what would the peo ple do for flow ers and vege tables and fruits? What would they do about their crops? How would their gardens look? And what A Variety would happen to the little birds who sing for them, and who add to the world with their gay feathers and their cheerful volees? “They would not he able to stand It If the rain didn’t come and cool them on the hot summer days. “Ah, yes. Old Man Weather is made up of all sorts of days, and he Is an old, old fellow, and cannot change his ways now. so Peter Gnome, won’t you tell them so? And won’t you tell them that I am awfully nice and good natured, and thnt they can have a good time on all of my dH.vs If they’ll only try? “And won't you tell them to respect me because of my age, the great, great age of Old Man Weather? Do tell them all of that. Peter Gnome, please!” EAn Involuntary Crusoe By ALVAH J. GARTH >9occoscoaoeososcc_ (© 1920, Western Newspaper Union.) A stumble across a stout vine, a bearllot)ge4all, then half a somersault and Ross Bradley, nearly stunned, felt a painful twinge In one limb and lay helpless. "A change, some excitement, new visions and motives in life and you'll come hack brisked up,” was the proph ecy of his physician at home, and this was the beginning of all that, aa It turned out. He had decided to put in a week at Brompton and had taken a boat, row ing through a chain of little lakes and finally seeking a shady spot upon an Island in the center of the lust one of these, had met with the mishap described. . Bradley started to get to his feet and then desisted, for one limb had sustained a severe sprain. The pain was so intense, the Injured member so useless, that he dragged himself with difficulty to a fallen tree and calcu lated the chances of getting back to his boat. As he located the little skiff he uttered a sharp cry of dis may. “Worfee and worse,” he uttered lugubriously. He had left the boat at frail mooriugs, a keen breeze had come up and It was afloat headed for a continuous run until halted by the mainland two miles away. Twice Bradley rose up intent on reaching the beach of the Island and sank to the ground with a groan. He Improvised a crutch from a tree branch, but found locomotion still In effective. His face became serious. Bradley realized that he could not count upon leaving the island except through outside help. Then a gleam of hope supervened. A little distance away there presented evidences of a picnic party having visited the spot —recently, too, for the papers scat tered about were new and clean. Some wooden plates and empty bottles mode a heap under a tree. Bradley crawled toward It, for he was hungry and realized the necessity of food should he be marooned for any length of time. ‘ There were pie tins, tissue napkins, empty cans, and he laughed quite Jubilantly as he drew from the mass a box marked “Crackers,” and still sea led. "Bless the kind soul that left this behind!” he soliloquized gratefully. “Marked two pounds, I won’t starve for a day or two, anyway." Bradley opened the end of the box. It contained plain sodas, crisp and clean. He sampled one and It tasted delicious. He paused with the fifth one-half demolished. "It Is probuhly as well to ration myself,” reflected Bradley, and began a mental apportionment of his only possible food supply. A little distance uwu^ was a bubbling sprAg. Bradley resigned himself to patience and rest. It was getting towards dusk. He slumbered and did not awake until morning. His limb was more useless than when first injured, for it had stiffened and grown sore to the touch. Bradley managed to reach the beach. He tied two handkerchiefs to a stick ready to signal any possible passing craft. He was an expert swimmer, but crippled to an extent that prohibited safe wa«er locomotion. It was the second morning that he made his breakfast on the last of the crackers. As he emptied out the flnai one, with It came a card. On one side was printed the chronicle "Packed by No. 171.” On the othei side was pasted a small medallion photograph. It was one of those twen ty five cents for • dozen pictures pro duced at picnics, water places and fairs by tntlnerant camera men, but the subject was very lovely of face and even quick work could not spoil the perfect control. Bradley allowed his mind to drift Into a pleasing day dream. He some what strained reality by declaring that No. 171 had saved him from starvation! He planned out whimsi cally how he would trace down the original of the photograph. T^en he forgot all about It for over a week, for Just then two fishermen passing In a boat discovered his signal, and until he was restored to normal Brad ley recuperated In luxury at the hotel at Brompton. Boss Bradley did not have to work for a living. There was a profitable business which he had Inherited, but be hud entrusted Its operation to a trustee. With time hanging heavily on his huwds, as the incident of the cracker box recalled to his mind he welcomed the excitement of the ad venture of ferreting out “No. 171.” He enjoyed fancying he was following out approved detective methods In locat ing the factory, In finally tracing down No. 171. But It was to find a hoyden Ish girl of eighteen, full of flirtatious nonsense, not In any manner resem bling the little photograph. She had packed the fateful box, but out of mischief, had pasted on the picture of Miss Mabel Whiting, so Bradley finally unearthed the fact, who was the secretary of the president of the company employing both. One sight of the original of the pic ture and Ross Bradley had. Indeed, fonnd a motive In life. Romance had led him on to follow out an Idle whim. Now genuine love Impelled him. It was not until they were on their honeymoon that Ross revealed the story of the treasured packing ticket He replaced It reverently within his pocket and drew Mabel to a safe , resting place, blessing the day when (ate had sent him seeking for her. / ^WWVWWMftMMVMA'.V.VaftMMArVVVVVVVVUWVWUUW Golden Rule t Store I ■ % • % 4914 SOUTH 24th ST. \ m *m ■ m ■ % ■ ■ . iii 5 ———— J 18 > Ladies’and Men’s Ready-^ to-Wear and Shoes l ■ s 5 - $ u_ £ LADIES’ DEPARTMENT—Second Floor < ’< SATURDAY SPECIALS £ I; 100 Bungalow Gingham Aprons—Sale Price . $1.15 / 5> Serge Dresses—Sale Price.. .. $23.50 £ Tricotteen Dresses, latest styles—Sale Price $24.50 / £ Ryppel Sweaters—-Sale Price ...$6.45 S ■I Silk Jersey Petticoats—Sale Price..$4.95 J I; Georgette Blouses—Sale Price.—...$3.95 < ;• Tricollet Blouses—Sale Price .$6.98 J % Girls’ Fine Serge Dresses—Sale Price $7.50 J % We Carry a Uirge Line of Furnishings for Indies, i \ Misses and Girls i III (Second Floor) ? 9 MEN’S DEPT—Main Floor > SATURDAY SPECIALS I; Blue Overalls, heavy weight, $3.00 and $3.50 values $2.39 I; Blue Work Shirts, $1.50 to $2.00 values...$1.24 Ij V Men’s Fall Weight Union Suits, special, at-.-.$1.95 ;! £ Men’s Slipover Sweaters, special, at ..$8.45 ■; I’ Men’s Jerse Sweaters, special, at.... $2.45 || I CLOTHING DEPT.
