Chicago, July 15.—A patriotic testi
monial was given at the Eighth Regi
ment Armory, July 9th. in honor of
Joseph Owens, the Chicago patrolman
who was seriously wounded in the
recent outbreak here which caused the
death of two people. Patrolman Owens
immortalized himself by rushing to
the defense of the American Rag when
a group of fanatics sought to burn it.
The meeting was under the auspices
of a citizens’ committee and the speak
ers were Edward H. Wright, who pre
sided; Alderman Louis B. Anderson
and Robert R. Jackson, Oscar De
Priest, Chief of Police J. J. Garrity and
Henry Lincoln Johnscn'of Atlanta,
Ga. Al! of the addresses praised the
faithfulness of Policeman Owens.
Chief Garrity declared that all citizens
of the community must be protected
and that, in his opinion, a recurrence
of last summer's riot would be im
possible. Within three hours after his
first knowledge of the recent distur
bance, he had more than 1,000 patrol
men on the scene.

NO LONGER SIMPLE PROBLEM
Matter of Food, In The»e Days of
Statistic*, Has Become Ques
tion of Calculation.
Once upon a time this problem of
food was a very simple matter. Three
times a day, as a rule, the attention
of man was drawn to a hollow feeling
located due east of the lower end of
the vertebral column. This vacancy
he proceeded to fill with a slab at
bread, a chunk of beef, a pot of rice,
etc., flavored as a rule with butter,
Jam, garlic, etc., according to race, re
ligion, climate, age, etc. This settled
the problem till the next call from
the far East.
It pains us to say that this was liv
ing to eat and not eating to live. It
showed np adjustment of means to
end. It was a system of food that
made no distinction between a long
shoreman and a free-veree poet. It
was Internal anarchy.
Happily the truth has been realized.
The consumption of food Is no longer
destructive but constructive. Man no
longer eats corned beef and cabbage,
but the vltamines In the beef and the
polyzeugma tics In the cabbage. When
he picks up t>e bill of fare he no long
er says, “What will most speedily and
cheaply allay the unrest In my far
East?” hut he says, “Where can I find
the 12,500 carbonuxates that will give
me the right outlook on the League of
Nationa?” And he finds It In unpolish
ed rice. Or he says to himself, “I am
now at work on the fourth act of my
poetic drama; to make It convincing
to Belasco I must absorb 3,200 per
maganazoids dally for the next 30
days.” So he shaves the kernels off
the corn and eats the cob. Perhaps
with coconut butter, for the added col
loidal saxophonlams.
This very midnight In our great city
a couple of army corps of teething in
fants will be lulled to rest with 28,175
pneumodactyllnes warmed up In a bot

HAD IT ALL PLANNED OUT
Colored Soldier Knew Exactly What
He Wai Going to Do With All
Those Black Clothea.
Here Is a story of two negro sol
diers, who were talking just after the
signing of the armistice:
" 'Rastus,’ said one, *what you gwlne
to do when you-all gets home?"
“ ‘What am I gwlne do? Wal, in
the fust place, nigger, I’s gwlne buy
me a white suit o’ clo’es, 'n white
shoes, ’n a white Bhlrt, collar ’n da,
'n a white hat. I’s gwlne be white all
•rer, nigger, an’ den Ts give up you
nigger folks 'n alius do my 'sodating
wld white folks.’
“The boy paused, then asked:
‘What you-all gwlne do, Jake?’ ‘Wal,’
says Jake, 'I’s gwlne buy me a black
suit, ’n black shoes, 'n a black shirt,
'n a black tie, ’n a black hat Te
gwlne be black all over. Den, when
dat’s done, I's gwlne buy me a big
piece of black crape and fasten It
round my black hat’
“ ‘Man,’ says Rastus, *what you-all
mean by all dem black clo’es and by
dat black crape? Wbat for you gwlne
wear dat black crape?’
“ ’Nigger,’ says Jake, ‘I's gwlne wear
dat black crepe to your funeral.’”—

A man on the South side advertised
his car for sale. Early the next morn
ing a man who lived across the street
came over and said: “Pardon me, but
I see by last night's paper you adver
tised your car for sale.”
"Quite true,” said the man who ad
vertised the car, “but surely you are
not In the market for It”
“No,” was the reply, “but I only
live across the street and I also want
to sell my car. And there would be
no need of me spending my money for
an advertisement If after the people
were through looking at your car you
could Just send them across the street
to look at my car.”—Indianapolis

The Scrap.
Representative Freer interrupted the
reading of a report to say:
“Official language is always rather
ludicrous. Once two scrubwomen in j
government employ had an argument, 1
as a result of which the weaker vessel [
waB laid up for some days.
“An official inquiry was duly held, ,
and the victorious scrubwoman re
ceived a letter which said, among oth
er things:
“ 'Is it true, as reported, that said
Mrs. Hugan received certain ocular and
nasal contusions at your hands?”
“The scrubwoman fn official language
wrote back:
“ 'I regret to say that the answer is
In the infirmary.’ ”
'At a Boyl
At the speedway races a tire com
pany gave away toy ballons as ad
vertisements. A lad about four years
old came up to the man on the Job
and said: "Please may I have two
balloons?”
The man replied: “Sorry, my little
lad, but only one balloon to a boy.
Have you any brothers at home?”
After a minute of deep thinking the
lad gave this answer: "No, I have no
brothers, but I have a sister who has
a brother.”—Indianapolis News.
Law and the Profit*.
"How did you come to be a prof
iteer?”
“It was all because of the law of
supply and demand," whimpered the
culprit. "I was trying to get a suffi
cient supply of money to meet tks
demand for it.”
