Rogers was arrested at his place of employment, where he has worked for the past 16 years, as a blacksmith. He is known as a hard and steady worker, and an honest and peace-loving man. The officers making the arrest said they have been working on the clue for a number of years. "The man I killed and I had a little fuse and he called me a bad name and I hit him with my fist and he fell," Poole said. "He never got up. I guess he had heart trouble. I didn't know I hit him so hard. When I saw he was dead I just left. The just goes to show you can never tell. I guess I'll have to go and take the consequences." Says White Woman Stole From Him Mes Barner, white, was dismissed without taking the stand, when accused by Walter W. Scott, 60 West 139th street, with stealing five $20 bills and $68 in other bills from his room. Scott, who said he is employed in a cafe at 187th street and Lenox avenue, told Magistrate Goodman that he had known the white woman for three weeks, and that on June 2, at 2 a.m., she had called at the cafe somewhat intricated. He said that he sent her home, but she refused, and that he finally took her to his room, where he left her and returned to his work. He returned at daylight, he said, and went to bed, while the woman was up and about the apartment. When he awoke at 11 a.m., the money was gone, he said. Scott admitted that the woman had been to his apartment before that date, and that when he went to bed the door of the room was unlocked. No one was in the apartment, he said, except himself and the woman. Detective Winterhalter said that when he arrested the white woman in a saloon at 139th street and Eighth avenue he found a $20 bill on her. Counsel for the defense made a motion for dismissal on the ground that other persons lived in the apartment, and that one of them might have entered the room while Scott was saluting, and taken the money. Scott gave his occupation as salesman. Under cross-examination he admitted that he was a "bartender," but since the passage of the Prohibition Act "salesman" was the proper title for the dispensers of liquid refreshment. Sues for $1,000.

James Sherry, white, 32 years old, living at 562 West 148th street, a watchman employed in the office building at 18 East 41st street, was shot last Friday night by a man he alleges was colored, who evidently came to the building bent on robbing. Entrance was gained to the building by a ruse. Sherry was sitting in the main lobby of the office building at 1.40 o'clock, with the doors locked. Upstairs, on various floors, colored men and women were cleaning up. A tall man wearing a derby hat and dark clothes tapped on the front door. He told Sherry that he had a message for one of the men at work upstairs about the illness of the worker's mother. Sherry admitted him and was walking ahead of him to an elevator when he grabbed him, swung him around and drew a gun. Sherry grappled with him, inadvertently getting his right hand over the gun muscle in the struggle. The trigger was pulled and the bullet shattered the watchman's right hand. Sherry dashed for the open elevator, pulling his keys out. He was making for his gun, in his room on the basement floor. Just before he reached the elevator he dropped his keys and the man attempted to kick them up. Porters on the upper floors heard the shot and rushed down, finding the watchman bleeding profusely. They called Pollockman. Witness of the East 33th street station, who asked for help, as he thought the man was still in the building, and called an ambulance from Bellevue. SAY FORD BACKS KLAN.

Birmingham Police Fail To Solve Murders One of the Victims Was a Colored Man; Another Given Prison Sentence. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., June 4.—An other example of the low mentality of the average Southern police force is given in the pitiful inability of the police of this city to solve a series of axe assaults which have taken place in the last 62 months and have taken the lives of 19 persons and resulted in injuries to 17 others. The latest victim of the axe assaults is Charley Graffoe, white, who was found dead last night with his skull crushed and his throat slashed. One of the victims of the axe murders was a colored grocer, Mose Parker, who was robbed and killed on December 21, 1921. Following one of the murders a colored man was arrested, tried and sentenced. The man is evidently innocent because the murders have not ceased.

WATCHMAN SHOT IN BACK BY MOTORISTS Colored Man Lingering Between Life and Death in Kings County Hospital; Refused to Open Gate as Train Approached. Because George Ashton, 36, colored, a gateman at the Long Island Railroad crossing at Norwood Avenue and Milford Street, did not allow a motor car containing several unknown men to cross the tracks in the path of an approaching train early Thursday morning, he was shot in the back by one of the men in the machine. Ashton, who lives at 1979 West 4th Street, Coney Island, is in a serious condition at the Kings County Hospital. The men escaped. Ashton had lowered his gate on receiving a signal of the approach of a Jamaica-bound train. When the men in the motor car saw no train in sight they tooted the horn of the machine and commanded the gateman to let them pass. He refused, and received a valley of verbal abuse. After the train had passed, Ashton, before raising the gates, went to the middle of the tracks to see if any train was coming from the opposite direction. Seizing none, he raised the gate and signaled for the motor car to cross. Ashton made no answer, and was about to enter his shack when a shot was fired, and he dropped to the ground. The motor car disappeared in a cloud of dust. Patty Delargue, of 18 Shaw avenue, Woodhaven, a gateman at the Montank avenue crossing, heard the shot and hurried to Ashton's aid. Finding him unconscious, he sagged a train bound for Flushah avenue terminal, and asked if there was a doctor on board. There was near, but Patrolman-Busble of the Gates avenue station, who was one of the passengers, administered first aid to the wounded gatesman and summoned an ambulance from the Bradford-Street Hospital. The surgeon who responded said that if Ashton lives it it will be due to the efficient manner in which the patrolman stopped the flow of blood from his wound. The injured man was then removed to the Kings County Hospital. During the World War Ankton served as a servant in the Medical Corps. YOU CAN BUY AND SELL MOST ANYTHING IN THE AMSTERDAM NEWS EXTRA! J.

Alkali in Shampoos Bad for Washing Hair Many soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much free alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use is Mulstifed coconut oil shampoo, for this is pure and entirely grenseless. It is inexpensive and heats anything else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months. Two or three teaspoonfuls of Mulsified is all that is required. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to manage. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff. Be sure and ask for "Mulsified" cocoanut oil shampoo. SEWING M All Ma Estin Work Guar Phone H Herbert Pro A FOREWORD TO THE SICK If you are sick, Have Faith. No drugs. Let the spirit heal you.

Stomach Troubles Are Due to Acidity Stomach Troubles Are Due to Acidity Teils Safe, Certain, Speedy Relief for Acid Indigestion. So-called stomach troubles, such as indigestion, gas, sourness, stomach-ache and inability to retain food are, in probably nine cases out of ten, simply evidence that excessive secretion of acid is taking place in the stomach, causing the formation of gas and acid indigestion. Gas distends the stomach and causes that full, oppressive, burning feeling sometimes known as heartburn, while the acid irritates and inflames the delicate lining of the stomach. The trouble lies entirely in the excess development or secretion of acid. To stop or prevent this souring of the food contents of the stomach and to neutralize the acid, and make it bland and harmless, a teaspoonful of Bisurated Magnesia, a good and effective corrector of acid stomach, should be taken in a quarter of a glass of hot or cold water after eating or whenever gas, sourness or acidity is felt. This sweetens the stomach and neutralizes the acidity in a few moments and is a perfectly harmless and inexpensive remedy to use. An antacid, such as Bisurated Magnesia, which can be obtained from any drugstreet in either powder or tablet form, enables the stomach to do its work properly without the aid of artificial digestents. Magnesia comes in several forms, so be certain to ask for and take only Bisurated Magnesia, which is especially prepared for the above purpose.

This commercial and business show promises to be the equal in artistic display to that which is given annually at the Grand Central Palace. The exposition will be given under the auspices of the Renaissance Casino, with Mr. William Roach as general manager. It is expected that colored manufacturers and business men throughout the country will avail themselves of this wonderful opportunity to display their particular lines in the atmosphere of the beautiful Renascence Casino. The booths for exhibit purposes will be beautifully decorated, and everything will be in keeping with the well-known and highly admired artistic effect of the Casino. Mr. Roach does things in a high-class manner, and all of the business men and women, professional and otherwise, feel confident that, for the first time in their career the same opportunity will be given them to display their wares as is given the white business men at shows given in the Grand Central Palace. Colored manufacturers, business men and women throughout the country are urged to make immediate application for exhibit space to the chairman, William H. Roach.

TWO MEN FREED Magistrate Corrigan, in the Heights Court, discharged from custody James West, 23, 142 West 121st Street, and Samuel Jordan, 22, 48 West 130th Street, who had been arrested on a charge of grand larceny. West and Jordan were arrested by Policeman Symmers in the southbound subway station at 135th Street and Lenox Avenue, where they are alleged to have robbed Leonard Pitsa, 600 West 122d Street, of $410 and a silk handkerchief. A silk handkerchief, which the complainant identified as similar in pattern to the one he lost, was found on West, but Pitsa could not swear that it was his property. The court granted the request of Attorney Freak W. Stanton to dismiss the complaint, although he expressed his resistance to do so. ```markdown ``` M. H. H. Mullan-Gage Repeal Reduces Court Docket Only One Bootlegging Case Tried in Heights Court on Monday. With the repeal of the Mullan-Gage Act, the dockets at the Washington Heights Court have been considerably reduced. Last Monday there was a single bootlegging case, the result of an adjournment. The Heights Court had furnished a large proportion of the 12,000 or more recent cases, of which, according to Magistrate Corrigan, but 12 resulted in convictions. Violators of the Volstead Act will henceforth be tried in the Federal courts, thus removing from the State the burden of the many hundreds of dollars that each prosecution entailed. Among the more noted cases arising out of this act was that of Officer Horrod McLeod of the 38th Precinct, who had been arrested, charged with illegal arrest of the white wife of the proprietor of the Wolkina drug store. 2216 Seventh Avenue, for alleged violation of the liquor law. Officer McLeod is now being sued for $10,000, under violation of section 816 of the Civil Practice Act, by Mrs. Wolkina. McLeod, when asked about his case by a reporter of the Amsterdam Town, refused to talk, but seemed downhearted at the suit, which is still pending in the courts. Speaking shortly after his arrest, McLeod expressed the conviction that his arrest had been due largely to lack of backing after his arrest of Mrs. Wolkins had been made. He said at the time: "Due to the laxity of some District Attorney's in conducting prosecutions, many bootleggers escape. The officer is sent out to do his duty, therefore should he not have the fullest cooperation of the court, in order that he may do that duty well?" "I am not trying to change the opinion of the judge, nor do I wish to persuade the bootleggers. I should like to point out, however, that, as the operation of a warrant costs about $300, the citizens are now considering a heavy burden in that place of political prostitution known as the Mulian-Geve Act. I do not wish to be too rigid or too lax about the matter." Boy, Six, Run Down. Robert Phillips, pix, 6 W. 125th street, was run down and slightly injured by an automobile at Leson avenue and 125th street. He was treated for contusions of the scalp and was taken home. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 6, 1923 Cleveland Combed for Murderer (Cleverland News Service) CLEVELAND, O. June 4—Feeling is running very high here against John L. Whitfield, escaped slayer of Patrolman Dennis Griffin and captor of so many white women's hearts. It is now claimed that Whitfield is a mulatto, and, as this report is more widely circulated, the more anxious white people here become to capture him. On Thursday the city council voted a reward of $10,000 for the capture of Whitfield. Mayor Fred Kohler retood the measure, saying that it was, or rather would be, an absolute waste of money and would not do anything to cause or hasten the capture of a murderer about whom there is no mystery. The search for Whitfield has now entered the 25th day and the whereabouts of the fugitive is even more of a mystery now than when he made his flight from here. WASHINGTON. D. C.

He then obtained possession of the weapon and turned it on "Willie," shooting him through the right breast. Officer Trues arrived, followed by Officers Reid, Willis and, later, Chief Byram. Forrest was placed under arrest and "Willie" was rushed to the hospital. He was able to walk, but examination at the hospital revealed that the bullet, instead of taking an upward course, had gone downward and pierced the right lung. Forrest was arraigned in city court this morning and entered a plea of not guilty to the felonious assault charge. He was represented by Attorney William Andrew. Forrest was committed to jail without bail to await the outcome of his cousin's wound. According to police Forrest and "Willie" lived together at the Washington Avenue address, but a short time ago Forrest moved to the Bangs Avenue address. Sunday morning he went to the home of "Willie." He had been drinking, police believe, and started an argument which resulted in the shooting. "Willie," who is about 50 years old, 20 years ago was the premier jockey of the American track. He rode many winners and was much in demand. Shortly after attaining the peak as a jockey, he was ruled off the New Orleans track because he was involved in a "fixed race."

Have You Heard the Jasziest of Jazz Bands Marion Davies in Splendid Picture Beautiful Star Has Delightful Role in Latest Picture, “Adam and Eva" Bald to be one of the most de- lightful pictures in which Marion Davies, beautiful Cosmopolitan star {n Paramount pictures, has ever appeared fs “Adam and Eva,” which comes to the Lincoln The- ater next Thuraday for four days. Us scenes range from the fashion- able home pf a capitalist, to a farm where much of the action finally develops. “Adam and Eva,” adapted for the screen from the famous stage comedy by Guy Bolton and George Middletim, was directed by Robert G. Vignola, ‘creator of “When ‘Knighthood Was in Flower,” also starring Miss Davies, In support of Mias Davies is an excellent cast, Including such well-known players as T. Roy Barnes, Tom Lewis, William Norris, Percy Ames. Leon Gordon, Luella Gear, William ‘Davidson, and Edward Douglas. One of the most striking and beautifu scenes ever filmed is the Venetian carnival scene in “Adam and Eva.” This scene brings into play all the atmosphere of Venice, Including a festival barge. a feet of six gondolag and « Venetian jcanal. “The carnival scene was jtaken at the beautiful Laddin’s Rock Farm, near Stamford, Conn. where the opening scenes of “When Knighthood Was in Flow er” were filmed. Its constructior cost. more than $40,000. During the “shooting” of this scene, Miss Davies and her supporting player worked four “days” from sunset to sunrise, this particular action of ‘the picture calling for nothing but night scenes. A Frost They Say (From Fae NB. 5. Worle? Members of a colored theatrical company, known as the Plantation Syncopated Players, have returned to the United States with an in- creasing love and veneration for their mother land. Three months ago they sailed for London to be- gin an engagement at the Empire Theater. ‘Their spirits soared Singer Buildingward and they saw visions of acquiring coin of the reaim as easily as picking up a tax! on Broadway. e Before the show opened the Negro thespians learned there were other kinds of préjudice be- side that of color. It was forcibly fought to their notice English actors, for economic reasons, were taking a similar attitude toward the invasion of actors from Amer- Ica as maintained by Americans on the Pacific Coast toward admission of Japanese. Paul Whiteman and his orches- tra, members of “Merton of the Movies” company and other Amer- ican importations in some, manner were victims of an unfriendly at- mosphere crystallized by English actors. As forthe Plantation Syp- copated Players, the public gave them a trapped reception go far as relating to attending performances in goodly numbers. Big Show Coming From Philadelphia: for an Indefmite Ran in Harlem One of the Biggest Shows Ever Brought to the Lafay- ette and One of the Few Really Boasting an Unusually Good Looking Chorus. “How Comet”, the much-talked- of show headed by Eddie Hunter, which played for five weeks at the Apollo Theatre on West 42nd street, will be the big attraction at the Lafayette for an indefinite run commencing Montiay. June 11, Be- fore coming into New York ‘to make thelr bow to Broadway the show smashed all records at the Dunbar Theater in Philadelphia, where they returned 2 week after closing their. Kew York engage- ment, The production will be brought to the Lafayette intact with one of ‘the best looking choruses we have seen. in a colored show since *ghume Along.” The work of Eddie Hunter won the critics lower down town and ably support: ed by Billy Higgins. Amon Davis, George Cooper and a host of other well-known performers, it {8 a fore- gone conclusion that this section of the city will give them a big welcome on the opening night. We understand that some new and very catchy song number: bave been added to the show and with Frank Montgomery keeping the chorus up to the specd thes maintained while at the Apollo, i is not far-fetched to predict that the opening weck at least will be a humdinger and things will be very lively at Seventh avenue and 332nd street. “Salome” Here Again “Salome,” as acted by the col ored artists who won a great meas- ure of praise all over the country, is the attraction at tho Lafayette Theater this week. As in the past, “The Chip Woman's Fortune” is being presented as the curtain raiser and winning great applause. ‘The show will play all this week with the usual midnight perform- ance on Friday night.

He also was the author of several successful musical comedies, books and lyrics, as weil as music. Carroll was well on his way to easy strest when he decided to be- come’ a theatrical producer. His first production, “The Lady of the Lamp." wiped out his savings of many years; and hisesecond fail- ure, “Daddy Dumpling,” cut off his credit—tor the time being, at least. Howevor, this disaster did not diy- courage him, He obtained the sup- port of a millionaire Texas ol! man and a few weeks later broke ground for the beautiful theatre which bears his name. Strikes, deiaya tn delivery of equipment, failure to find a satisfactory play, were only & few pf the annovances, but Carroll kept right on fighting. He solved the diffculty of a play by writing his own, “Rav,” which won Instant fame upon its presen- tation, Carl Laommlo. president of the Universal Pictures Corpora tlon, wae one of the guests at the opening performance, and Was so impressed with the merits of the piece that he opened negotiations for the film rights, and the present cinema production shows how gsc- cessful he was.

These are some of the main charges against which Garvey and his co-defendants will have to defend themselves in the coming weeks. The government seems to have proved its charges pretty thoroughly. $31.12 In Bank. The final touches to the government's case were given by Thomas A. Merlites, expert accountant for the Department of Justice. The accounts of the Black Star Line, he said, "had to be built" and turned checks as there had been no vouchers of any sort." According to Merlites the was a liability of $721,462.87, a deficit of $476,169.58, a depreciated asset of $255,293.29, and $31.12 in the bank. This, he said, by no means represented the total sum lost, as "the first year had not been written up at all. One hundred and five thousand and fifty shares valued" $765,130 had been accounted for by the stubs. If the certificates in the missing books had been sold then it seems that almost a million dollars in stock had been sold.

There has probably never been a case like this in a Federal court. The tongue of Mrs. Annie Carrington, for instance, proved to be a live electric wire that gave Garvey a shock each time he came in contact with it. Mrs. Carrington said that she had bought $55 worth of stock and that when she had asked Garvey about it, that he had called her "a d—d foolish woman," and had threatened to his office. "You can throw me out of the Black Star Limo office but you can't throw me out of here," she said wrathfully, returning, Garvey at least ten words for his every one. Garvey appealed to Judge Mack again and again, but even he seemed powerless to check the flow of cutting words. "Oh, lady, please behave yourself." said Garvey in a conciliatory tone. "Behave myself! Behave myself, eh?" she stormed. "it is time they sent you some place for robbing people's money." "Did Mr. Mattucks tell you what to say?" asked Garvey meekly, with the air of a husband who knows that it is impossible to outtalk his wife and that she is going to have the last word anyway. "No one had to tell me what to say," she retorted waspily," after you've taken my $55 and threatened to throw me out." Harry Watkiss, former chief stock salesman of the Black Star Line, told of trips with Garvey on which Garvey had collected as high as $3,800 from the sale of stock, Redemption of Africa fund, Liberty Loan, and other funds, about $3,000 of which Garvey spent in maintaining his retinue. All the money, he said, was always turned over to Garvey, who would take it to his hotel and count it with Miss Amy Jacques, his present wife. On one occasion he said that he told his son that Garvey had $700 that and that Garvey told him he would see the report later. Watkiss said that the placed the report in his desk, the desk was broken open, and the report taken. Garcia went to Africa, and the matter was never brought up again, he said. Garvey Ran Away. Watkins told of a trip on which the Ohio police got at his corps of salesmen for violation of the law regulating sale of stock in that State. Garvey, he said, ran away, and hid behind a tree in an alley while he and others were arrested. Watkins admitted that he had put up $300 as ball from the funds of the Black Star Line, and that he hid again. "Do you mean to say, Mr. Watkins, that you absconded your bond?" thundered Garvey. "My leader ran, and so I ran to," retorted Watkins quietly. "Is you wife a white lady?" asked Garvey, making an evident bid for race prejudice. "The jury is white." "None of your business," snapped Watkins. "Answer," said Attorney Mattucks. "Yes," said Watkins. Garvey: Now, isn't it a fact that you ill-treat your wife? Q. How many times did you ever kick her? A. I never kicked her. "Impossible Man." His Excellency, "Sir" Sydney de Bourg also proved difficult for Garvey to handle. He said that he had told Garvey that the Kanawha was no good and that he had advised him not to buy it, but Garvey had replied: "I know the ship is no good, but we need her for propa- after COMPANY 3197 Third Ave. Near 161st St. RHOOD STORE On the March to Arlington Cemetery THE UNION WITH THE DOME OF THE CAPITOL in the background the body of Colonel Charles Young is here shown in funeral procession moving down Pennsylvania avenue on its way to Arlington National Cemetery, where it now rests. ganda. You said it was the yacht of a millionaire and it would do well to go in from place to place to sell stocks." Garvey said de Bourg lived well while in the West Indies. He said that Garvey collected $28,000, besides having money sent to him, all of which was spent. Garvey: Do you know Mr. Garvey paid 50 cents a day for his room? A. It is impossible to believe that. Q. Did you expect Mr. Garvey to sleep on the floor? The question was ruled out. Q. Did you live in the same house with Mr. Garvey while in Kingston, Jamica? A. After you came from the races and said you were broke you came to live with me. Q. Did you complain to any of the officers of the corporation about me? A. Yes. I spoke to Miss Davis, the vice-president. She said you were an impossible man and that I was to let you go to the edge of the preciplice and break your neck. Garvey then read a letter that had been addressed by him to "His Excellence Sir Sydney B. de Bourg, Lord of the Western Province of the West Indies." Sir Sydney, it turned out, had not been officially knighted at Liberty Hall but had received the title from Garvey because of another Sir Sydney that Garvey knew.

John Heron, asb collector, another witness, proved to be a regular hound at buying Black Star Line stock. He presented nine certificates, one for himself and for each member of his family. He also presented a receipt for $500 he had paid for passage to Africa on the phantom "Phyllis Wheatley". He said he had been informed that the vessel would sail in three or four A number of stockholders from Pennsylvania, Indiana, Connecticut and Washington, D. C., testified to receiving stock and circulars through the mail. Objected to Garvey's Methods. According to Fred D. Powell, 309 West 142d street, a former assistant treasurer in the Black Star Line, Garvey "wouldn't stand for any system any time." Entries of stock sold were never made, he said. Garvey, he said, would order Tobias to sign blank checks, sometimes "whole rows of checks," which Garvey would place in his pockets. "I objected publicly at Liberty Hall to your corrupt system, and because of that you put the cold iron hand on me and said that I was a conspirator." Garvey: isn't it a fact, Mr. Powell, that everybody was afraid to trust you. You are so suspicious, so shyster-looking? The question was overruled. According to Powell, Tobias "is a good man, but you exercise an undue influence over him." There are frequent clashes between Garvey and Attorney Matlucks. The case promises to go on for many weeks yet, but said Judge Mack: "We have all got to keep our tempers, no matter how long this lasts." Judge Mack has also warned Garvey that beginning Monday he "is going, to cease conducting a law school in his court." The other defendants are almost lost sight of. Garvey is the whole show. Now and then their attorneys, Henry Lincoln Johnson, J. P. Hill and Wm. C. Matthews, of Boston, raise an objection, or cross-examine a witness. The one point on which all the government witnesses agreed, is that Garvey is an autocrat, that he would listen to or take advice from no one. Garvey Addresses Jury. On Monday morning the case for the defense began. In outlining his case to the jury, Garvey said that he was more than ready to prove that there had been no fraud nor intent to defraud on the part of the officers of the Black Star Line. This corporation, he said, was the result of honest efforts on the part of the members of the U. N. I. A. to find an economic solution for the race prize. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 6, 1923 lem. Both the Black Star Line and the U. N. I. A., he said, were great spiritual movements working toward the freedom of an oppressed race. The Black Star Line, he said, had been severely handicapped from THRIFT MONTH Deposit in the Bank the Money You Save at OUR STORES the start. Many were opposed to him because he was a foreigner, and they did not want to give him credit for what good he had done. The Black Star Line's entry into the business field had acted as a stimulus to Negro business, he de- stared, regardless of what the prosecution might have said about its being a failure. Although the corporation was capitalized at $10,000,000, only a few hundred thousand dollars' worth of stock had been sold. His persecution had been inspired by a cliquet of jealous Negroes. Of the 400,000 stockholders, only 25 or 30 had disaffected, with the result that the government had literally been dragged into the case. "The money," he insisted, in closing, "had been lost in a legitimate way without intent to defraud any of the stockholder of a single penny." Fill and Johnson also outlined the cases of their respective clients, Geo. Tobias, Orlando Thompson and Elio Garcia, who are also held with Garvey. The first witness for the defense was Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis, second vice-president of the Black Star Line. Washington, D. C. Impressive ceremonies marked last rites of Col. Chas.

The Black Swan Phonograph Company, of which Harry H. Pace is president and general manager, has now passed its second anniversary. Started two years ago in a basement room in 138th Street. the concern now uses practically the entire building at 2289 Seventh Avenue for its general offices, and has a large plant in Long Island City "Black Swan" records feature colored musicians and artists exclusively, having the distinction of recording the first opera records using the Negro voice. Furthermore, it is concealed that these records, made by Antolina Garnes of the Chicago Opera Company and Florence Cole-Talbert, are as good, if not better, than the same recordings of other companies. In Ethel Waters, "Black Swan" records have the greatest blues singer in America. Her new records, "I ain't Gonna Marry and Settle Down," "Brown Baby," "Memphis Man" and "Midnight Blues" are being sold as fast as they can come from the Long Island and plant. "Ethel," as she is familiarly known, has just completed a two weeks' engagement at the Lafayette Theatre, where she stopped the show every night. Her appearance here caused a run on "That Do It Strait" and "Georgia Blues," and this record is selling as fast now as it did about a year ago, when it was recorded. Harry H. Face, on whose shoulders rests the future of "Black Swan" records, is possibly the most versatile business man in Harlem. Within the past two years he has not only mastered every detail of the phonograph and record business, but, in addition, is an expert in the insurance and banking business, having held responsible positions in both fields. He is one of the four Negroes in New York City certified by the State Banking Commission as able to hold office as a bank director or president. Mr. Face is also active in all fraternal and other organizations. While the Black Swan Photograph Company is the only Negro concern of its kind in the world and the only programmand TF and the only programmand using Negro voices and musicians exclusively, it does not ask the support of the public on this ground alone.

(Preston News Service) RICHMOND, Va., June 6.—The scarcity of farm labor has become more acute as a result of the continued migration of Negroes to northern industrial centers, and farmers who depend upon day labor are finding it difficult, and in many instances, impossible, to secure help to plant normal crops, according to a report issued by the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, in its monthly review of labor conditions in the Fifth Federal Reserve District. Next to farm laborers, the greatest scarcity seems to be in the building industry and allied fields, including lumber and brickmaking. Skilled workmen are principally needed in construction work, while lumber mills can furnish employment to many unskilled laborers, it is reported. A serious shortage exists in the logging camps and mill yards. There is a slight scarcity of labor in the box and shear factories, but the supply of workmen in the textile and other manufacturing lines, including tobacco, fertilizer and furniture, is sufficient for the present needs. It is said that practically all the industries in this district are operating as fully as the labor company will permit. There has been a raise in wages in some of the industries, but on the whole there has been but little competitive bidding for satisfactory labor. Manufacturers appear to be willing to curtail production greatly rather than advance manufacturing costs by increasing wages. The experiences of 1930 are still fresh in the minds of manufacturers, and they realize that, unless costs to consumers are kept within bounds, consumption is likely to be affected, and they are not watching very closely the consumer reaction to every change in the cost of manufacture, which would crease the selling price. In this district the workers themselves have some appreciation of the situation, and, while there appear sporadic strikes from time to time, labor on the whole is renewable and no serious disputes have arisen during recent months. Manufacturers feel that the lack of strikes in this district is due to a large measure to there. Here such a small number of foreigners employed in this district. MRS.

The great auditorium was comfortably filled each night and was packed on Wednesday night when the Martin Smith Music School had charge of the exercises and rendered a most excellent program. The musical program given by Mine Leah Kate Walker on Tuesday evening was one of the best board in New York recently. The Wanmaker Quartet, the renditions by Mine Theresa V. Greene, the numbers by the Female Trio, the baritone soloist, Mr. J. B. Brown, all brought forth hearty encroaches from the audience. The exercises on Friday night were in charge of the White Baptist Societies and the music was rendered by Mr. and Mrs. Howard Wade Kimsey, who brought along with them a number of finished artists. Dr. J. Robbinson, Field Secretary of the New York Bar Association, preached an able sermon to an audience Sunday morning that occupied all standing space and Rev.

Books and Bayonets WITHIN the last ten days and almost two of each other, cornerstones have been two new public buildings, the one that on 138 in 140th street near Lenox avenue that of the 15th Regiment Armory, 143rd Fifth avenue. THE FORMER will minister to a fundal man need: the latter, to blind worship of each of War. The one, a preserver of the peace, the other, in the last analysis, a deserte frums of civilization. TWEN when the cornerstone of the Armory shall Harlem was astir, windows were filled, nooks and standing room in the street that a premium, all because the god of war, his wares down the main streets is act. It was ever thus in all countries asomes. TWEN WHEN THE CORNERSTONE of news was laid, except for the immediate block, greatly cared and comparatively few stops as momentous an occasion as the new school coming into being. TWEN LONG will it be before frail man war continues to try to settle the woes of the light and by power? TWEN Home, Carthage, Spain and modern all tried might and power and all of the miserably. TWEN NOT the strong nations of today so far in the passing of empires which based upon self-desire and waged war to selfishness? TWEN THINGS STAND today it is easy to do who seek means to abolish war, to duke idealists and futile dreamers. Yet the long side of self-assertion in the breasts uses of common folk which, if properly guides the god of war in his roughhoused station and consign him to the neither which he sprang. Hon. Chas. W. And used a worldwide human pulse when a series incident to laying of the cornerstone P. B. 139, he said that "this institution link in the chain with which civilization day bind the god of war." The simple nations must learn is that WITHIN the last ten days and almost within sight of each other, cornerstones have been laid for two new public buildings, the one that of new P. S. 139 in 140th street near Lenox avenue, the other that of the 15th Regiment Armory, 143d street near Fifth avenue. THE FORMER will minister to a fundamental human need: the latter, to blind worship of the Mcloch of War. The one, a preserver of the arts of peace, the other, in the last analysis, a destroyer of the fruits of civilization. YET, when the cornerstone of the Armory was laid all Harlem was astir, windows were filled with craoning nocks and standing room in the streets was at a premium, all because the god of war was parading his wares down the main streets of the district. It was ever thus in all countries and in all times. BUT WHEN THE CORNERSTONE of new P. S. 129 was laid, except for the immediate blocks nobody really cared and comparatively few stopped to witness so momentous an occasion as the process of a new school coming into being. HOW LONG will it be before frail man wakes to the fact that his ills will continue to increase if he continues to try to settle the woes of the world by might and by power? Greece, Rome, Carthage, Spain and modern Germany all tried might and power and all of them—failed mis-rely. DO NOT the strong nations of today see no lessons in the passing of empires which based their ideals upon self-destire and waged war to sustain such self-succes? AS THINGS STAND today it is easy to deride those who seek means to abolish war, to dub them hollow idealists and futile dreamers. Yet there is a rising tide of selfassertion in the breasts of the masses of common folk which, if properly guided, will unhorse the god of war in his roughshod march over civilization and consign him to the neither depths from which he sprang. Hon. Chas. W. Anderson touched a worldwide human pulse when, at the ceremonies incident to laying of the cornerstone of new P. S. 139, he said that "this institution is one more link in the chain with which civilization will some day bind the god of war." The simple lesson which nations must learn is that "No house can stand, No kingdom can endure, Built on the crumbling rock Of self-desire; Nothing is living stone, Nothing is sure, That is not whitened In the social fire." AT "SOCIAL FIRE" is the school, the if you please, where the youth of the he taught to take education "straight" a into the world with both feet on the group is part in passing his tolerance and enlist on to others who seek to remedy the w is the bypath of war. Negro and Prohibition Enforcer SUPPORTED BY THE WETS in his campaign. THAT "SOCIAL FIRE" is the school, the public school if you please, where the youth of the world may be taught to take education "straight" and go out into the world with both feet on the ground to act his part in passing his tolerance and enlightenment on to others who seek to remedy the world's illia via the hypbath of war. The Negro and Prohibition Enforcement SUPPORTED BY THE WETS in his campaign for Governor of the State because he favored the return of light wines and beer, there was little left for Governor Smith to do except to sign the Cuvillier bill repealing the Mullan-Gage prohibition enforcement act. New York State was, is, and unless greater security is shown by Federal prohibition agents in the future than in the past, shall remain wet. It is wet for two reasons: First, because a large number of its citizens are opposed to prohibition and, second, because there is so much corruption in its officials that it is next to impossible to enforce such a measure. THE AMOUNT OF WISDOM shown by Governor Smith in signing the repealer over the protests of leading Republicans in the State and thousands of members of his own party outside of the State, remaining to be seen. New York City is undoubtedly with him, and we have every reason to believe that the majority of the voters in the State are with him. FROM its colored man's point of view the enforcement of the prohibition amendment to the Constitution 'urnishes an interesting and vital side-light, which does not necessarily concern the subject of prohibition itself. This side-light concerns itself with the enforcement of the Constitution of the United States and its amendments over so-called state's rights. Grandfather classes and Jim Crow law, which clearly violate the Constitution, have been uphold by the Supreme Court of the United States on the ground that to nullify them would violate the sovereignty of the State. It was on this ground that the more or less Liberal New York WORLD opposed the Dyer Anti-Lynch Bill. Democrats everywhere are in favor of states' rights because they are left free to determine who vote and who should not vote; who shall abide by the law and who shall not. Governor Smith in signing the bill has upheld the traditions of his party. BUT THE BEST INTEREST OF THE NEGRO will be found in the enforcement of the Constitution over the laws of the individual states which has always been incorporated in the general principles of U.S. Republican party, and for this reason he ought to be willing to be denied whiskey, wine and beer if such a denial will give backbone to the supreme law of the land. PRESIDENT HARDING has promised to see that the prohibition amendment and the Volstead act are enforced in this State even if he is compelled to use the army and navy in doing it. This too, furnishes an interesting precedent, for if the President has power to use the armed forces of the nation to enforce the Eighteenth Amendment, he likewise has power to use these same forces to enforce the Thirteenth. Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. EXPRESSED BY CONTEMPORARIES (From the Nation).

There are not arguments to convince awakening people that they should passively a further exploitation. The black citizens of Jack Miss, have drawn up an extraordinary protest, that they are leaving the State because Negro feels that his life is not safe in Mississippi. The South is awakening to the meaning of exodus; on May 19-meetings of white citizens held at every Mississippi courthouse to discuss situation.

He is in every race, but it seems that the Negro has more than his share. Our bluffing, make bellee sense of Negro is legion. Self-appointed, self-conceited, shrewd, bold and thoroughly dishonest, he poses as a great race leader and usually goes away with it. His efforts are given up, and he is not a victim of this and claiming credit for them. Little indeed has ever been done for Negroes without his allied initiative and support. He is a veritable chanticleer who has received himself as well as the public so long until he really believes that he causes the sun to rise each morning by his crowing. The Freeman hates the four-fusher. Whom you hate? He is in every race, but it seems that the Negro has more than his share. Our bluff make belle type of Negro is legion. Self polished, self-conceited, shrewd, bold and thouroughed, he poses as a great race leader, usually gets away with it. His efforts are given mainly, to finding out the certain drift of the and claiming credit for them. Little indeed ever been done for Negroes without his all initiative and support. He is a veritable chantier who has received himself as well as the public long until he really believes that he causes sun to rise each morning by his crowing. Sometimes he is a politician who makes gull white office seekers believe that he absolutely trots the Negro vote. As a matter of fact, he trots nothing. He shines in Republican parties. Sometimes he is a preacher who speaks avers, for his entire congregation. Sometimes he an editor whose journal is the best ever, the most widely circulated and influential. He may be a physician, a teacher, or a lawyer, whom cloistances have given a chance for self-adulter Among us Negroes, he may be a foquacious bar a favorite waiter, or a bumptious porter. He is old voice in the wilderness, perfectly sure, with a single rosson for his assurance, that he 'tells the sentiment of Negroes on any and all import matters or movements. The objectionable thing about the four-fusher not that he has opinions, for he rarely has one that he talks overmuch, for he rarely says anything. To be fair, he has the right to his opinion, has the right to be heard. He has the right, we ever his profession or job, to all that is due. He does not have the right to barter and ex his race for the benefit of his own vanity or poor book. He does not have the right to be disloyal. His alleged influence should be backed by factual reality and worth. Really Too Freeman hates his four-fushing, him. Usually, he is a likable follow, nevertheless, his ubiquity, his audacity, his monumental hypocrisy make him a menace to the race. The sooons wholesome, insistent, courageous, sane, effective gro public opinion puts him on his merits, the be it will be for the Negro race. Sometimes he is a politician who makes gullible white office seekers believe that he absolutely controls the Negro vote. As a matter of fact, he controls nothing. He shines in Republican party politics. Sometimes he is a preacher who speaks, he avers, for his entire congregation. Sometimes he is an editor whose journal is the best ever, the most widely circulated and influential. He may be a physician, a teacher, or a lawyer, whom circumstances have given a chance for self-adulation. Among us Negroes, he may be a loquacious barber, a favorite waiter, or a bumptious porter. He is any old voice in the wilderness, perfectly sure, without a single reason for his assurance, that he 'loquently' the sentiment of Negroes on any and all important matters of movements. The objectionable thing about the four-fusher is that he has no opinions for he has has one, or that he talks overmuch, for he rarely says anything. To be fair, he has the right to his opinion. He has the right to be heard. He has the right, whatever his profession or job, to all that is due him. He does not have the right to barter and exploit his race for the benefit of his own vanity or pocket book. He does not have the right to disheastern. His alleged influence should be backed by facts, by reality and worth. Really Too Freeman hates his four-fushing, not him. Usually, he is a likable follow, nevertheless his ubiquity, his audacity, his monumental hypocrisy make him a menace to the race. The sooner a man becomes a menace the greater the grop public opinion puts him on his merits, the better it will be to irr the Negro race.

AFTER the sudden rebuff by Philip just as the point of yielding to more firmly convinced than anything about the robbery of the had he taken up his hat as if turned on them so furiously: Lucille was exasperated o felt that there was at least one could speak the word that w that person? Was it Philip Bruce, or all three? She f least knew more than he can stand he seemed to have possible he had sworn to a private detective had told her the story about Philip's being the murder. As she reason over and over in her mind, da in hallucination, to arrive at And yet it was really so far her bewildered brain were power, some X-ray that couable her to point out to the AFTER the sudden rebuff of Mrs. Walton and herself by Philip just as the latter appeared to be on the point of yielding to their entreaties, Lucille was more firmly convinced than ever that Philip knew something about the robbery of the examination papers. Why had he taken up his hat as if he were going out, then had turned on them so furiously? Lucille was exasperated over the whole situation. She felt that there was at least one person in Nortonville who could speak the word that would set John free. Who was that person? Was it Philip or Gaston Leigh or Prof. Bruce, or all three? She felt sure that Prof. Bruce at least knew more than he cared to tell. On the witness stand he seemed to have been shielding Philip. It was possible he had sworn to a lie over Philip's alibi, as the private detective had told her that he was unable to verify the story about Philip's being at the theatre the night of the murder. As she reasoned the facts and suspicions over and over in her mind, day in and day out, she seemed, in hallucination, to arrive at the solution of the mystery. And yet it was really so far away, so baffling. Oh, that her bewildered brain were endowed with some magic power, some X-ray that could pierce the gloom and enable her to point out to the whole world the guilty one. She decided to make an appeal to Prof. Bruce and called at his home. He received her kindly and listened with evident sympathy as she expressed her firm conviction of John's innocence and Philip's guilt. "Please help me, Prof. Bruce," she implored. "My dear Miss Page," replied Prof. Bruce, I am very, very sorry for you, but there isn't the least doubt in by mind that Mr. Walton did it. The evidence is conclusive. My only advice is that you forget Walton. He has deceived you from start to finish. Mr. McLean and I as good as caught him in the act." "But he is innocent," persisted Lucille. "You look so good and kind, professor. Won't you help me?" "But forgetting everything else, Miss Page, how did his hair get in my wife's fingers when she was dead as he admits himself. He did it, and there's no doubt about it." "Couldn't the police have put the hair there?" she asked. "Why. Lieut. Childs showed it to me before Walton was brought into this room the night of the murder." Prof. Bruce advanced a step nearer to her and continued impressively: "Let me tell you that that hair and the fingerprints on the examination papers are incontestable proofs that Walton did the deed. No two things in the world are alike—no two human beings, no two sides of one face, no two blades of grass, no two grains of dust, no two hairs nor no two fingerprints, whether from the same person or some one else. Everything that is created by nature is different from every other thing. Duplication exists only in the realm of the artificial. This fact if nothing else convinces me absolutely of Walton's guilt." "But isn't it said that there is an exception to every rule?" stammered Lucille. "Except in this case," said the professor authoritatively. "Walton wanted to win you and to do so has lied to you. He was a bright student—the brightest freshman—but after telling you about his being bribed he simply couldn't take the chances of losing." Utterly crushed by the professor's logic she sank into the nearest chair. The fear that she had so stubbornly fought at last seemed to have taken complete possession of her. She wept along. "It isn't true! It isn't true," she sobbed. She made the denial by sheer effort of will. "I'm sorry to have hurt you so," sympathised Prof. Bruce in a voice that convince her. He had knelt beside her, and was patting her shoulders. She arose. There was something about the man that struck her as being horribly insincere. She faced him angrily. "I don't believe you. I don't believe you," she stormed. "You do know something about this. You lied on the stand." "I know nothing about it," he replied stiffly. The next instant she was pleading again. "Oh, professor, won't you save him? I love him so. If he dies, I will die too. Philip Brockenridge robbed those papers, didn't he? Won't you tell the truth before it is too late? Put yourself in John's place." "I know nothing about it," he replied coldly, but I shall go down to see Lieut. Childs and tell him what you have told me about Brockenridge. Where can I reach you? Are you still at the beauty parlor? She answered the affirmative. At the door he said: "I promise to do what I can for you and will let you know." The visit had proved a terrible blow to Lestella's morale. Yes, according to John's own admission, Mr. Bruce was dead when he found her. He did it for me, she said to herself, he did for me. Why hadn't he said that she was alive when he entered? she asked herself. How easily all could have been explained in that case. Then he might have escaped with a prison sentence. But she suddenly remembered that ER XX of Mrs. Walton and herself matter appeared to be on the their entreaties. Lucille was never that Philip knew some- one examination papers.

Did it not prove that he was no cool, calculating murderer? She recalled that this fact had not been brought out at the trial, and decided to call once more on the governor and point it out to him. Suddenly she became aware of a car being drawn up at the sidewalk near her. Someone called her name. Turning she saw Gaston Leigh. He was smiling at her. Instinctively she shrank away. How she hated him! Ordinarily she would not have noticed him, but the thought instantly struck her that she might learn something about the murder from him. "Good morning, Mr. Leigh." she replied with a forced smile. "I see you are worrying too much. Lu—Miss Page. If you keep this up you'll lose the reputation of being the prettiest girl in Nortonville," she said, leaning over the side of the car. He added, open-ended: "I'll go to way to Madame Jean's, aren't you? Hop in and I'll take you here." She made a more forward as if to accept; then she suddenly remembered how John might misinterpret it should it get to his ears. "No, thank you," she refused. She crossed the grass and came toward the car saying: "But Mr. Leigh, won't you tell me the truth as to whether you approached John—Mr. Walton—to offer him money to stay away? Please tell me if it is true or not. It means so much to me. I swear that I shan't breathe it to a single soul. I just want to be satisfied for myself. Don't you please?" "I never did." answered Leigh in a matter of fact tone, "and I'm sorry that you of all persons should believe that tale." He added lightly: "You did me a great injustice in court when you accused me before everyone on more hearsay. But I gladly forgive you. I forgive you anything, Lucillie." "Lucillie," he continued, "you are wanting your sympathy on Walton, you are losing your good looks. I have always thought the world of you. Can't we be friends?" "No, Mr. Leigh," she replied fully, "we can't be anything, and I wish you'd stop calling me on the 'phone. Let me tell you once for all that the men of my race are perfectly good enough for me. There was a time when they were slaves, when they were down, and we colored women had no one to look up to. But that day is over. We have men in our race equal in every respect to yours now. They have just as much brains and character, and are making their way in the world in spite of everything that your race puts in their path. Let me tell you once for all that the company of the men of my race is good enough for me." "But—" began Leigh. She cut him short. "Would you marry a colored woman?" she demanded in the same frigid tone. "Would you introduce her your mother and sisters?" "Well, stammered Leigh," as for me I just as soon would. But you know what the sentiment is." "Let me tell you then." she replied, "that before I'd associate with a man who wouldn't have the courage to own me in public I'd kill myself first. "But isn't it a fact that it is some of the hidden relations of life that are worth the most, are the most precious?" paried Leigh. "Absolutely not in this case. If a man really thinks highly of a woman he wants the whole world to see her and to join him in admiration of her. Diamonds are for display. Don't call me up a again or I'll complain to the police." "Walden, was a fine specimen of the colony from you we've brought home from France." "He was a better man than either you or Boehneridge. He had more brains than both of you put together."

"He was so good that both of you were afraid of him and tried to buy him off. When he wouldn't you tried to rob those papers yourself, and lied on him, but I'm going to expose you if I have to come back from my grave to do it." CHAPTER XXL What Prof. Bruce had said in his calm, dogmatic way about no two things being alike had returned again and again to torture her all that day. Now she would believe John innocent, now she would believe that he did it in order to keep his promise to win the prize. The thought became an obsession with her. "Child, you'll lose your mind if you keep on like this," warned Mrs. Montgomery. The next evening on her way home she passed the single colored barber shop in Nortonville. The question of the dissimilarity of her became a monomania with her, and she looked inside, a thing she did not ordinarily do. Suddenly she became aware of a large bright colored label struck on the show window. It read: "Use Lusterine. It makes the hair a glossy black." Underneath was crudely lettered the following: "Hair straightened, $1." Suddenly she recalled an elderly white woman who dyes hair she had been curling at Madame Jean's that afternoon. "Don't it funny?" she mused, as she read the sign. "White people kink their hair while our people straighten theirs." A few steps further on a thought pricked her like a red hot needle. She thought: Is it not possible that while the hair of no two persons is alike in a natural state might they not become so under artificial treatment? Might not dye and the use of heat, for instance, be exacted to the hair that had been in Mr. Brun's gargers was almost straight and black. Could not some one else have so straightened his hair or used some sort of dressing that would render it like John's? Might not her belief that Philip had employed some colored man to do the deed be right after all. As the thought took shape in her mind, she murmured joyously: "He is innocent! He is innocent! Thank God." She quickened her steps to the police station. Here she told Lieut. Childs her suspicions. He listened to her patiently. "I shall have a chemical test of the hair made tomorrow," he assured her eagerly. "I hope it turns out as you say, Miss Page. In spite of the strong evidence against Mr. Walton, I have great trouble in believing him guilty. He has all the appearance of an innocent man, and I say this from thirty-two years' experience with criminals. We don't want to see an innocent man go to his death. I for one would never forgive myself. My only aim is to that the law is carried out, and that every one in Nortonville, black or white, gets an even break. I'll be more than gled to do all I can." "Tomorrow!!" exclaimed Lucille, who had been waiting impatiently for him to stop. "Can't it be done tonight, now?" "Not before tomorrow. No one's at the office now. Leave the matter to me. I'll attend to it myself." "Can I be present when the test is made?" "Sure; meet me at the court house at nine tomorrow." He conducted her to the door. "Cheer up, have a rest in parting, I believe you have all done at last. You have done some clever thinking, and deserve to have it turn out right." That night Lucille slept fitfully in expectation of the morrow's decision. It was a night filled with dreams, in some of which she heard the chemist saying it wasn't John's hair, and in others he declared it was. (To be continued next week). COL.

ELLIOTT RAWLINS, M.D. The Increasing Sterility in Negro Women IT is a proven fact that Negroes are migrating to the large cities. From the southern rural communities of the United States and the tropical villages of the West Indies they have taken up their abode in large cities of the north and west. Thousands and thousands of Negro women in the United States cannot now be considered of the peonage and lowly class. Their ideals and ideas have changed with the state of society in which they now live. Negro women of the large cities of the United States are now grappling with urban problems—that of making money and securing superior educational advantages; others are entering into a life of excessive amusement and excitement and social climbing; they all are being weaned away from the old ideals and ideas of the heartside; they have been caught in the congestion, vanities and selflessness of the "big" cities. The old gospel of "Be fruitful; multiply and replenish the earth" has been superseded by a modern creed of "Practice birth control and enjoy yourself." Negro women in the large cities are not entering into wedlock as early as if days gone by; an increased materialism, social cravings, a desire for pleasure, and the increasing irresponsibility of the Dean Brown to Address Ministers HAMPTON.

MANY a well-meaning mother is laboring under a false idea of what really constitutes a training in right habits and proper attitudes in her child. Often she thinks she is correcting a fault when in reality she is only nagging at the child, or at best shooting very wildly around the mark. Here is Edward. He is carless, with his napkin. "I've been trying for six months to get him to fold it and put it in the ring," his mother observed, as we were clearing the table; "but he does it only about one time in ten." Now Edward's mother was actually sincere in her remark, imaginal! By her own admission she had struggled six months on the one little point of discipline. At the next meal I watched Edward. It was noon, and before he was quite through his lunch his boy chum rang the doorbell and Edward dropped everything and dashed to school, of course without folding his napkin. At dinner that night we were going for a ride and everyone hurried. Edward included, and no one paid any attention whether he folded his napkin or not. You mothers get the point. It would have taken perhaps a week of time and patience. to sit right there at the table and keep an active boy right there also until he had learned to fold his napkin automatically. Anything worth while takes time, but very few points in children's discipline require six months if property handled. If we make a child do a thing himself one time in ten, and then do it for him the other nine times, it is absolutely energy wasted, all the old garment which is too thin and worn to hold the stitches. Training children is like a bus. men are the chief causes. The result is a late marriage, with its resulting sterility either acquired or self-imposed. Immorality, with its resulting venereal diseases, is also increasing among the Negro women of the large cities; a large part of every city physician's practice is treatment for inflammation and congestion of the organs peculiar to women. This invariably leads to acquired sterility. There are certain advantages gained by the Negroes coming to the large cities. These are financial, educational, social and political. Yet there are certain social factors entering into the modern development of Negro women in the large cities that are lessening in a great degree their pro-creative qualities. The only ray of hope is in the women still remaining in the rural sections of the country. In them maternal fruitfulness is still both a desire and an accomplishment. ness proposition: we get just what we go after. If we invest patience, time and thought in the task of correcting a child's habits the results are inevitably successful. It isn't always easy, nothing worth while is; but a week spent in correcting a fault takes less attention and energy than nagging for months with no definite object achieved after all. Another point is very important in correcting faults. He very sure the fault is a real one, that it bears directly on character training. If it is not one on which you are willing to expend time and patience to correct, then why mention it at all? But if a habit is really annoying and one that will prove embarrassing to the child and his friends through his life, then attack it at once and definitely and finally uproot it. Concentrate on that one thing until you and the child have conquered, it, and never again will you have that particular trial to meet.

A ARE you building a mansion or cabin, my friend, in the land of the sweet bye and bye? Are you building in frowns or in bright, happy smiles, or has indifference for you broken grounds? Have you laid your foundation on Faith and Love, with Hope for your cornerstone— With beams of Friendship and Trust for your roof, secure against winds or storms? Will Charity sweet form the wide, solid door that swings outward with Brotherly Love. With Tolerance, Good-will and Kindness combined forming ceiling, and lathes and floor. Are your windows the kind that ever face the paths, and shine with a cheerful gleam. Across the dark valleys the pilgrims must trread as lowly they march to the stream Across whose dark waters we all must pass are we reach that dear land of our dreams? ... Are you building with prayer, with sighs and tears: are you building in fear and pain That will yet be a joy when the struggle is o'er, and your crosses will then be your gain? The flowers that blossomed and withered so soon you will find in your garden there. The song of the bird you delighted to hear will trill on the soft, fragrant air: All things you have loved but lost, almost your toys that you could not keep You will find again in the sweet bye and bye, that land of the beautiful sleep. Go forth, then, and hasten your mansion to build, nor loiter or stray from the way. Arise, do your building while yet the sun shines, go build while 'tis today. For soon on your path the dart night will descend—too late then to wall and to ween. When the moon in the West calls each star to her breast, and the sun twins this old earth to sleep.
