THE WOMEN WILL VOTE
Equal suffrage is about to be real
ized. The long fight of women for the
right to vote on ail questions of gov
ernment has at last ripened into a
live reality.
Indications are already plainly ap
parent that there will follow in the
wake of the adoption of the Ninfe-
iteenth Amdndment to the national l
[ Constitution, new impositions of civic |
responsibility and radical departures |
[ from practices which have operated
to a denial oi the franchise to a con
|siderable portion of the national citi
zenry.
“Grandfather clause,” “permanent
poll,” and all of the political devices j
j used by the “white South” to mini- j
mize the voting strength of our Race I
will be cast automatically into the
of political misuse by
the unequivocal provisions of the suf
frage amendment. For not only will '
approximately three million Negro ■
women be added to the voting ele
ments of the nation, but the Negro
man will be strengthened in his posi
tion as a citizen of the national and j
state commonwealths.
But there also comes to us a grave j
realization of the increased response i
bilities that have come to us in the 1
meantime. The intelligent Negro j
women must take a more command
: ing place in the social orders of the '
j land. There can be no shirking or
pandering of the instinct for political
j gain in any direction.

NATIONAL" HEALTH WEEK - ”
I
I
The situation of national health
make a public question of deep con
| cern for all the elements of the peo- !
pie in our common land. Our race i
should have a sincere interest in this
matter. Lowest in the economic scale,
smallest in social significance and
weakest in physical power, it becomes
-imperative that we take advantage of
i any opportunity which will enable us
! to increase our store of general
knowledge and thereby add strength
and vision to the social efficiency of
our kind.
National Health Week will soon be
with us. Whatever of program shall i
be provided for that occasion must !
be eagerly scanned in an effort to
, provide every facility for the people j
at large to get a clear understanding
,of health as it aff.utls the enure na- :
tion.
I We are one-tenth of the nation. If
lone-tenth of 'he nation is in ignorance
of the laws that serve to maintain
health, it means Hiat the nation will
finally succumb to the ravages of pes
tilence and disease. Black or white !
has nothing to do with the matter
except where criminal intention aims
to keep any of the elements in igno
rance of the laws that provide the re
lations of improved social conditions.
This is why the more intelligent
members of the race should busy
themselves to the end that every in
dividual of the group shall be made
aware of the significance and import
ance of the coming Health Week.
Health Is our biggest asset. Without
it, we ilTust fade from the face of the
earth. With health we can survive
to take a worthy place among the
strong peoples of the earth. Remem
ber Health Week and Keep It Holy.
AN ADMIRABLE PROGRAM
(By Associated Negro Press)
Birmingham, Ala., Mar. 24.—-The
News of this city calls attention to
the recently organized Negro Board
of Arbitration in an editorial which

atic, kindly white people will be
pleased at one of the undertakings in
augurated to lessen the tendency to
friction between the two races.” • The
editorial calls the organization of the
j board “an admirable program of pur
pose,” and says further, “the mass of
white people, too, will be pleased to
see that Negroes of character and
true spirit are willing to step forward
and to help in such a progressive,
constructive step."

He—Then I’m the man. The boss
has fired me for telephoning you so
often.

HIS CHANCE FOR A DIG
“John,” asked his wife, who was
writing to one of her married friends,
“which is proper to say, ‘I differ from
you’ or ‘I differ with you?'”
“Tell her you differ from her. She
lets her husband have a part of his
salary to buy cigars and such things.”
o
PERSONAL PETS
“Every man is entitled to his opin

“Yes,” replied Senator Sorghum;

nothing to be proud of, but it’s his if
he wants to hold on to it.”

CITY OF PURPLE DREAMS
JSM— r CHAPTER 111. v
» . »-
The first person besides the news
paper men to visit Fitfhugh was Es
ther Strom. He shook hands with her
through the iron grating of his cell.
“Welcome!” he cried gayly. “But
how’d you know?”
“I came ns soon as I saw this,” she 1
replied, taking a newspaper from un- i
der her cloak and holding it between j
the bars to him. His eye caught a 1
front-page headline:
“MADMAN RUNS AMUCK!”
Turning the page he found a group :
of snapshots of himself in diverse at
titudes.
"Here’s progressive journalism 1” he
laughed, slapping the paper with the
back of his hand. “These things were
taken less than two hours ago. Not
bad work, either,” He regarded them'
critically. He gloried In the uotoriety. !
She pressed closer to the bars, nud
there was a -troubled expression on j
her face. “We must get you out of
this some way; and you mustn’t treat j
It so much ns a joke, for it’s not. I’ve :
a friend who’s a lawyer. I’ll send him
to you. I’ll manage to pay him some- 1
how, some time.”
“But why?” he asked.* “Why bother j
about me at all? I’m nothing to you.” j
“I’ll send him right away,” she
promised. “Goodby.” She pressed his
hand and was gone.
Barely an hour after Esther’s de
parture the guard let Into the cell a
rotund, sleek-looking man who Intro
duced himself by printed card as
“Roger Merton, attorney and coun
selor-at-law, Ashland block, Chicago,
hours nine to five.” He sat down be
side his client on the foul bunk, and
behind his plump hand gave a genteel
little cough.
“My boy,” he said, “you have only
one defense. It’s insanity—don’t get
excited 1”
Fitzhugh laughed. “Do I look ex- i
cited?” he asked easily, and added,
“or insane?” ♦
“You’re not Insane. Nobody said
you were. But for a while you've got
to act Insane. It's your only hope,
“You’ve Got to Act Insane."
and I’m pretty sure you’re equal tc
the acting. If you plead crazy—and
act and talk and look crazy (It’ll be
easy for you)—it’s more than likely
you'll get off lightly. It’s your only
chance.' Absolutely the only one. I’m
not saying it’s a fat one or a soft one.
I only say It’s your only one. Good
day 1”
• ••••••
The case occupied little time. The
prisoner was adjudged insane and
committed to the Dunning insane asy
lum until declared cured. Two stal
wart officers, neither of whom was as
muscular as he, escorted him to the
street.
• ••••••
Upon Fitzhugh's arrival at Dun
’ nlng he was taken to the superintend
ent’s office, and there, questioned
about his family, gave the same ficti
tious replies that had satisfied the po
lice. Next he was examined by a
physician. It was the second time he
had enacted the part of a lunatic, and
his personation must have been done
I with some success, for Ids “disease”
! was diagnosed, and he was classified
and assigned to a ward. Afteg the
customary routine of hnthing and
donning the regulation garb he had
leisure to sit down and plan his
escape. This seemed so ridiculously
simple that he almost regretted there
need be nothing spedtnculnr about It,
that there was no necessity for over
powering a guard or breaking bars, or
for any other kind of heroics.
While entering the grounds he htd
kept his eyes open, with the result
that he had a rough mental picture of
Dunning’s topography, and after the
first night he was positive he would
be free before the dawn of another
day.
He lay awake until broad daylight,
hoping the next night would be a
cloudy one, listening to the unearthly
sounds that came at intervals from
the violent wards—and thinking, think
ing. He thought mostly of the future,
and the more he thought of it the
more wide awake he became. Sleep
was out of the question.
Before noon that day came Esther.
She had brought him a basket of ed
ibles, and as she placed it on a table
beside him he detected in her manner
a disquieting suggestion of constraint
But her first words were commonplace
enough.
“How are you?” sb^asked.
“Oh, about as well as 1 look, I sap*
pose.”
“I never saw yon looking better,"
she admiringly observed, ,
