PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY THE AFRICAN AMERICAN MARYLAND'S BEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER PRICE THREE CENTS --- VOL. XXV No. 31 TO HOLD PASTORS TO STRICT ACCOUNT Bishop McDowell will Study Conditions in Washington Conference During the Coming Year.? DR. CURRY LEAVES CITY Assigned to. Pastorate in Virginia—Rev. Hodges Sent to Asbury Church. In announcing the assignments for the ensuing year at the closing of the fifty-fourth annual session of the Washington Conference of the M.E. Church Monday, Bishop W. F. McDowell told the ministers that they would be held strictly accountable for the proper performance of their duties and that he would keep in close touch with their work at all times. The ministers must work with an eye single to bring children into the church. he said, and must remember that fine sermons, editorial and enmarking into its literature will not result for much unless these things are in bringing men and women to Christ. He told the ministers that he had a carefully-thought out program for the carrying forward of the conference work and this year's appointments had been made with an eye single. There he gave from Abbey Church in Baltimore Church—Rev. George E. C. Burry sent from Abbey Church to take the place of Rev. E. J. Rudock at Lynchburg, the latter succeeding Rev. C. E. Hodges as superintendent of the Alexandria district; and the sending of Rev. Julius S. N. to take the place of Rev. N. M. Carrel Irwin at Continental M. E. Church. Hodges comes to Abbey Church this city. Rev. Dr. I. L. Thomas took the place of Rev. W. A. C. Hughes as superintendent of the Washington district and the latter succeeded Dr. Thomas as field secretary of the Board of Homes Missions and Church Estates of denominations. Thomas, after years' service, was ordered by his physician, to give up the arduous work of traveling about the country. Dr. Hughes declined the position at first, but the offer was finally made sufficiently attractive for him to accept. One of the interesting features of the closing session was the presentation of a silver loving cup to Rev. N. M. Carroll, who voluntarily retired after an active service of 53 years in the ministry. Rev. W. N. Holt called attention to the fact that the token was the gift of the ministers and Rev. Dr. Ernest Lyon made the presentation speech. Dr. Carroll made a fitting acknowledgment in accepting the trophy. Reports submitted showed that over $118,500 was raised for ministerial support last year, that there were nearly 37,000 members and that the Conference owned property valued at more than $1,500,000. The next session will be held at Robert's Chapel, Alexandria, Va. The list of appointments follow: REALTIMORE DISC Rev. D. W. Hays, Superintendent Educ. D. W. Hays, Superintendent A. J. Mitchell, A.

BENHAM LECTURES, ON PROGRESS OF NEGRO The progress made by the colored people of this country, since they were brought to Jamestown over 300 years ago as shaves, was told in an illustrated lecture on "The Negro" delivered by Rev. Dr. DeWitt M. Benham, at the Central Presbyterian Church, white, last -day evening. The lecture is regarded by the few colored people who heard it as being the fairest presentation of the cause of the race in Baltimore in years. Dr. Benham showed a number of pictures depicting the Negro in Africa his efforts here as a laborer, the likenesses of Dr. Booker T. Washington, Dr. Moton and W. E. W. DuBois, fine homes owned by the race, and others of equal interest. He mentioned the progress that has been made by the race, contrasted from ownership at the beginning of the Civil War and now, the great reduction of illiteracy and the general advance in education and the acquisition of wealth. He declared that the Druid Hill avenue section was the centre of the activities of the colored people here and praised the efforts of the race to secure better housing. The health of the general community, Dr Benham declared, demanded that the colored people should not be compelled to live in congested and unsanitary quarters. THOUSAND CATHOLICS PARADE New Orleans, La., March 17.—The demonstration of one thousand men in line pledged to the rims and ideals of the Holy Name Society made a wonderful impression upon those who witnessed this great procession, the greatest ever held in this city, under the auspices of the Union of Holy Name Societies. Each division was preceded by standard bearers with large American flags and Holy Name banners. The marchers filed into St. Katharine's Church, where were held the services of the day. Rt. Rev. J. M. Lavai, auxiliary bishop of New Orleans, representing the arch-bishop, who was confined to his home, presided. The sermon was delivered by Teev. J. H. Dorsoy, S. S., who has been giving a mission especially for his race in the church of the Blessed Sacrament. $100,000 FOR HOWARD ASYLUM New York, Marsh 22.—A number of men at a luncheon given by George Foster Peabody, Jacob C. Klink, Clinton L. Rossiter, Lawrence Smith Butler and L. Hollingsworth Wood started a movement Monday to raise $100,000 for the equipment of Howard Orphanage at Kings Park, L. I. Dr. James H. N. Waring, formerly of Baltimore, is now head of the orphanage. BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, MARCH 24, 1917 Waters A.M.E. Church Advertised for Sale Big signs announcing the prospective sale of Waters A. M. E. Church are greeting passsory on Alsquith street. The sale is to foreclose a mortgage held by the heirs of the late James W. Hitchens. Mr. Hitchens lent the church $16,000 when it bought the present home, and the congregation is said to be in arrears on payments. This, with the added wish of the Hitchens heirs to convert all of the property and mortgages of the deceased into cash, is said to be the reason for the prospective foreclosure. The congregation was located for many years on Spring street, near Jefferson. It was during the pastorate there of the late Rev. John F. Wayner, that the property on Alsquith street was secured. The present home is regarded as being well located for the congregation, and its forced sale would be regarded a serious blow. Rev. Dr. A. L. Gaines, the present pastor, and a number of his influential members are doing everything possible to prevent a force sale, and it is hoped that the matter will be satisfactorily settled to all parties concerned. Waters Church is the only one of the African Methodist denomination in East Baltimore, and is one of the oldest n the city. Its members have included many influential persons in that section of the city. It is also regarded as one of the most desirable charges in the Baltimore Conference. TESTIMONIAL PLANNED FOR REV. G. A. GRIFFITHS Plans are being perfected for a public testimonial and reception to be tendered Rev. George A. Griffiths, pastor of St. Mary's Protestant Episcopal Church on April 11th. The testimonial is in appraisal to the minister, who has been able to do not only in connection with the church but in the civic affairs of the city that have been of vital interest to the race. During the crusade several years ago when an effort was made by those opposed to the existence of so many saloons in the vicinity of Dahlgren, the Rev. Griffiths took a leading part. He has also been keenly interested in the health campaign being conducted under the auspices of the Maryland Health Conference and only recently a largely attended meeting was held at St. Mary's Hall in the interest of the conservation in which he was the moving spirit. The testimonial will be held in St. Mary's Hall and the public will be admitted free. Invitations have been addressed to a number of prominent men to deliver addresses, including Rev. R. W. S. Thomas, pastor of Met. Church, Tahoe City, Tahoe Charles R. Uncles, Prof. Mason A. Hawkins, principal of the High School and others. Following the testimonial a banquet will be served to which an admission will be charged. The following is the committee in charge of the church: A. Robohit, C. J. Jennings, secretary, C. P. Woodland, Samuel Huckle, C. W. McCard, John A. Bishop, Frank Simmons, C. Marcellus Dorssey, J. Henry Hammond and Charles J. Lane. DISCUSS PLANS FOR MORGAN'COLLEGE SITE A number of well-known citizens gathered at the Y. M. C. A., Saturday night to hear Dr. J. O. Spencer and Dr. John F. Goucher tell of plans for locating Morgan College in the northern suburbs. An option on 70 acres of land, about three miles from the centre of the city has been secured. It is proposed to devote thirty acres of this land to the college and he remainder will be sub-divided into building lots for first-class homes for colored people. The settlement around the college will compare favorably with any around Baltimore, and may surpass those at Clark University, Atlanta and Willerforce University. It is planned to have sewerage, electric lights and other modern conveniences for occupants of the settlement. Should a sufficient number of people subscribe for the lots, enough money may be secured to erect modern homes. The financing of the proposition is entirely in the hands of a few wealthy and interested white people. Morgan college has long been desirous of securing a site in the suburbs. EXPOSE BOGUS LABOR AGENTS Norfolk, Va., March 23—The Journal and Guide is exposing white labor agents who hire colored men North on the promise of good wages and fine treatment. It publishes affidavits from several men showing that some of the labor agents have grossly misrepresented conditions in seeking to get some colored men go North. The newspaper claims that Negro labor is more in demand South than hitherto and that section of the country is undergoing an industrial transformation. 'TWAS A FALSE RUMOR Savannah, Ga., March 22—As a result of false rumors, more than 500 colored men stood around the Union Station a few days ago awaiting an expected trip to Pennsylvania. They had been lured from rural districts on the pretext that work at, good wages awaited them in the North PLATTSBURG CAMP FOR COLORED OFFICERS SURE 217 Have Thus Far Sent Signed Applications to Dr. Joel E. Spingarn. Others Are Awaiting Parental Approval. Spingarn Addresses University Students MORGAN COLLEGE SENDS WORD TO PRESIDENT "Can be Relied Upon in the Measure of Their Ability if America Must Fight For its Honor or its Life." Major Moton tells of Loyalty and Patriotism of Race. Washington, D. C., March 20.—Howard University got safely thru the Celebration of its Semi-Centennial without, passing any resolution to hold up the president's hands in the event of war, but when Dean Pickens of Baltimore together with Dr. Joel E. Spingarn of New York invaded the campus yesterday, more patriotic enthusiasm was aroused than at any time before during the year. Both speakers addressed the student body at the regular chapel hour, at noon, and more than six hundred men applauded their efforts at a 3 o'clock meeting. Between these two meetings, Dr. Spingarn and Dean Pickens were whisked down to the new Dunbar High School to interest the pupils there in the project of a military camp. Dr. Spingarn, who is father of the plan for a segregated Plattsburg, made a special trip to Washington to interest possible recruits from among the students. He admitted that his plan of a separate training camp was un-American and imperfect, but he insisted that the choice of the colored man in the event of war is between conscription and rebellion, not between volunteering and not volunteering. He expressed the opinion that should conscription ensue as it is extremely likely, 100,000 colored officers would be needed to command the 2,000,000 colored men of military age, and that his plan for a colored military training camp would be one step toward providing colored regiments with colored officers. At the conclusion of the meeting, ninety-two men handed in their signed applications for a military training camp, and it is expected that many more will follow as soon as parental consent has been obtained. In order to encourage the entrance of Howard University men, especially, Dr. Spinaghan offered to provide from his own resources uniforms at $$$ each for any student who is unable to apply on account of lack of funds. Since the purchasing of a uniform is the only expense connected with the camp to be defrayed by the individual applicant, Dr. Spinaghan's offer means offering the benefits of the camp absolutely free. So far 217 men have volunteered for the camp and the proposition is assured. PYTHIANS ARE READY R. E. Jones Says Uniform Rank of the Order Will Be a Valuable Asset in Time of War Fully one thousand Pythians turned out last Sunday afternoon at Sharp Street Memorial M. E. Church, the occasion being the anniversary of the order. The sermon was delivered by Dr. R. E. Jones, of New York University, the president of Christian Advocate, and also a prominent Pythian. Using as a subject for his sermon "Friendship" Dr. Jones brought out many instances of friendship existing between biblical characters, instancing especially the friendship that existed between Mary, Martin Lazarus, and Jesus. Martin Lazarus lived in Baltimore, in our time, every wag in the city would have been convinced that something was wrong. One of the damnable things of today is that there can be no honest, sweet, beautiful, God-like friendship between man and woman as existed between man and woman just as well as they can between man and man or woman and woman. He urged his hearers to cultivate the spirit of orphaned not only in Bible characters but in the principles of the Order. Dr. Jones, during the course of his sermon also took occasion to congratulate the uniform rank upon its fine appearance, and said that should war be declared the Knights of Pythias would be prepared to put into the field an efficient body of men with military training and urged them to be ready when the call came. "I know we have been discriminated against," he said; "I know we have not received all in the army that I loved, we can citizens, but after all, it is the country we love-best of all and we should to a man be ready to follow the flag as members of the race have followed it in every war of the land." Grand Chancellor George A. Watty acted as master of ceremonies and introduced Dr. Jones. A collection amounting to over seventy-five dollars was raised at the beginning of the service. PROFESSOR J. E. SPINGARN. MORGAN COLLEGE PLEDGES LOYALTY The following is the text of an open letter sent to President Wilson by the students of Morgan College. March 19, 1917 To— His Excellency the His Excellency the President of the United States, Hon. Woodrow Wilson, Washington D.C. Morgan College is an institution which has existed for half a century in the city of Baltimore for the education of Negro youth. Its students are patriotic. They do not believe that they and their race receive a square deal from the dominant element in this country. But that is not to them a stricter requirement with any foreign power against their native land—the land which their father's blood and brawn helped to create, to defend and to develop. Within the bounds of their country and thus all legitimate means, domestic, social and political, they are committed to unceasing struggle for the futherance of the just interests of their own race against all who may unrightfully oppose it, but which it comes a choice between the United States and any foreign country in the round world, then the students of Morgan College are Americans, first, last and forever! We hope and believe that the yet unvoiced spirit of every Negro college in the land will prove to be what we here express. This expression is the joint dictation of both our patriotism and our national pride, inmate between the issues of our domestic struggle and the struggle of our common country against a foreign foe. And the President and Government of the United States are notified that the students of Morgan College, Baltimore, Maryland, can be rolled upon in the measure of their ability, to work for their life on any land or any sea against any earthly power. By vote of the Student Body. WILL NOT DRAW COLOR-LINE WHEN NOT DRAW COLORING Springfield, Mass. March 20 A. rumor which has given considerable concern to the passors of the Westfield Baptist Association for the past month or so was laid at rest yesterday, when the special committee appointed to investigate the matter, referred the New York theological Seminary, now as always, will receive colored students for the ministry. The report had stirred the ministers to the extent that a special committee was appointed to investigate. No color line has ever been drawn in he seminary, and the pastors were deeply disturbed by the reports that colored students had been refused admittance. The committee was informed that colored students are as free to enter now as they have always been and that no other stand will be taken by the seminary as the Baptist faith makes a strong appeal to the Negro and the denomination is one of the strongest among them. Atlantic City, N. J. March 20—A movement from the building of a Roman Catholic Church has begun among the colored Catholics of Atlantic City. Mrs. John Lewis is the promoter. Washington, D. C., March 21st.—That the American Negro has proved himself loyal to the "Stars and Stripes" on former occasions and that he will continue to do so in the future, was emphasized by Dr. R. R. Moton, the new president of Tuskegee Institute, in an address at John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, Tuesday evening. The occasion was the formal ending of the campaign which has been carried on in the District to raise a contribution to the fund which is being collected for a memorial to the late Booker T. Washington, founder and for more than thirty-five years the president of the institute. At the meeting last night, at which a local committee was in charge, and at which Mr. Henry Lusser presided, nearly $1,000 was realized. The speakers included, in addition to Dr. Moton, former Senator Moses E. Clapp of Minnesota, who introduced Dr. Moton; Henry B. F. Macfarland, former District Commissioner; Rev. Dr. John Van Chaleak, Jr., president of the board of education; Emmett J. Scott, secretary of the institute; Judge Robert H. Terrell and John C. Dancy, former recorder of deeds, who made financial appeals, and Rev. W. C. Brown, pastor of Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church. Dr. Washington carried out a program of patriotism, said Dr. Moton, in paying tribute to the great Negro educator. "His was a program of patriotism showing men of superior opportunities and training how they could be just and fair to the humbleest and poorest and blackest American citizen," said the speaker. "The question is being raised in certain quarters as to whether the Negro will be loyal to the Stars and Stripes. There is no such question in my mind. The Negro is a patient, a forgiving, a brave and a loyal race of people. This he has clearly demonstrated in every war since 1775. The story of Carrizal, in Mexico, must be familiar to all of us." Mr. Scott reported that so far over $56,000 has been contributed to the fund being raised. Rev. D. E. Wiseman delivered the invocation. A musical program including a number of old plantation melodies which were favorites of Dr. Washington was given by the glee clubs of Howard University and Dunbar High School. A reception was tendered Dr. Moton and Mr. Scott at the colored branch of the Y. M. C. A. following the exercises at the church. Early in the evening they were guests at a dinner at the hine of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Lusser, 1215 17th street northwest. REV. CASSIUS MASON DEAD. Rev. Cassius M. C. Mason, rector of St. Philip's Episcopal Church, St. Louis, died in that city Wednesday from pneumonia. He was a native of this city and was one of the founders of St. Mary's Episcopal Church, Orchard street. He was a minister came of a well-known local family. Among his surviving relatives are three daughters (Miss Edith Mason, a kindergarten teacher in St. Louis; Miss Winifred Mason, a teacher in the local public schools, and Miss Nannie Mason), and one sister, Mrs. Laura Barrett. Funeral services will be held at St. Mary's Church Monday. MASONS ARE BUSY New York, March 22—Prince Hall Building Association, of the Masonic Order has closed an agreement for the architectural work of their new building which will be located at 204 and 206 West 131st street. The cost of the building is said to be $65,000. It is expected that the raising of the old buildings will be commenced in a short time, and the erection of the new building commenced. The Brotherhood is rejoicing over seeing a new building for the order soon erected. HOLDS SUCCESSFUL REVIVAL Washington, March 23—Dr. Janius Gray, pastor of the Psalmist Baptist Church, Baltimore, concluded a successful revival at the Rebohotb Baptist Church, this city, tonight. The meetings, for many two weeks have been productive of much good, there being nearly forty converts. Rev. John Richards is pastor of the church. By defeating the fast-going five of the Dunbar A. A. in two successive games last Thursday and Saturday nights the team from the High School placed themselves at the top of the league ladder, and acclaimed themselves champions, of the city basketball fives. The victory and the glory attendant thereupon were well deserved by the High School players, as the player played exceptional and consistent basketball during the entire season, and their "machining" well-nigh perfect under the guiding band of I. N. Ross, the musical director of the High School to whom great credit should be given for his excellent work with the boys. The championship games were marked by the entire absence of any ill-feeling between the men of the two teams, who though fighting for the greatest honors that could come to a basketball team, never once forgot the gentlemanly demeanor and sportsmanlike attitude that should characterize all games of what ever nature. In the first half of the first game Thursday night, High School was to a flying start, and we relied on overwhelm of teammates with their rapid Both sides fouled repeatedly, but the High School was more ably prepared to take advantage of its opportunity for free baskets, and boosted their score to 7 points while the Dunbar "had not left the wharf." With nearly all of the rooters crying wildly for a H. S. victory Dunbar entered the second half with renewed determination despite the handicap of 7 points. Howard scored their first point of the game with a free throw. This was the necessary "pep" for Dunbar, and almost before the astonished H. S. players and followed paled out attempts. Howard scored stole 9 and 7 with High School only 2 points in the lead, thanks to great skill of Dunbar's mighty Howard who scored two successive baskets from most difficult angles. The tension was great, if the Dunbar could get one goal the score would be even, and they would then have a chance to win. Try as they would, however, they could not score. Time and again the ball would roll round the ring in agonizing motion and drop down coming behind them like a whirlwind, Director Ross, whispered orders to his captain Gee to substitute Butler for Taylor. Following a series of lightning like passes the ball was tossed to Butler who got in a lucky shot which brought the house down. High School was drawing away. But Weeb got in a similar shot for Dunbar, and again the end of the game seemed a year off. With the score 9-7, High School scored another free throw, and a few minutes later the whistle sounded for the ball to be pressed in Bethel Hall, with the High School roots crowding out on the floor cheering and yelling for their victorious schoolmates. Saturday night's game found Dunbar with its back against the wall, trying hard to stave off the defeat that must surely come to them. Undaunted by the absence of their two valuable guards, Haywood and Chaucey, they entered the game with the same spirit that had been displayed during decaf to their doors within the last ten years. On a double foul, both sides counted a point. Taylor scored twice again in this half on free throws, while Howard counted a basket and another free throw. Jackson, High School's guard worked the ball from his goal up to his opponents and scored a sensation, also contributing in this half making the 74-14 High School, for the end of rbs period. In the second half, Taylor again proved himself the bulwark of the High School team. He counted two free throws, and two difficult baskets. Christmas who was substituted for Webb in Dunbar's lineup, called a crowd and scored Dunbar. Webb scored up to 7 points. Ghee ended the scoring for High School with an excellent shot, and shortly afterward time was called out, and the High School team was dead. Do you account for the city Dunbar had been defeated, but their was not an inglorious loss, for they were beaten by the best aggregation of players that has been gotten together in this city since the balmy days of Briscoe, Wilson and Murray, and we venture the assertion that if they are Armstrong High School of Washington, appearing in another part of this column, they will be able to extend their championship honors over the borders of the District of Columbia. To the Sporting Editor I heard with a great deal of pleasure of the success of the Baltimore High School in winning the basketball championship of your city. It is indeed gratifying to find a high school team the winner of the championship in each of its schools, all of which was Washington. In view of this fact I hereby wish, as manager of the Armstrong Manual Training School basketball team, champions of the District of Columbin, to challenge the Baltimore High School, through your paper, to play a game of basketball in Baltimore for the championship of the Middle-Atlantic States. Find below our completed schedule with respective scores: Armstrong 20, Hampton 27 at Hampton SPORTSMAN PICKS AN ALL-STAR TEAM Picking an all-star team from the basket ball teams of the local league would not be a difficult task if we could select several men for each position. At most it is a thankless job. For all who agree with us we are thankful that our minds run in the same channel. For those who disagree we give our sympathy and aid the criticism of our opinion as possible. No one has personally requested us to put their names on the list of honor, and we have asked no one if they would like to see their n mes placed there. Our opinion is based entirely upon personal observation of the players we have selected. When they might appear to be logical, they neither alibis, nor excuses, but a simple statement of facts as they exist. From our point of view, it is not the man who can score the most points, when left free to shoot at the basket, who is accounted the best forward, but the man who can get the ball—who does not wait for it to be fed to him; and who gets from under the closest guarding and makes the baskets, is the man to be adjudged the best player at this position; and with that idea in view we can see no way to select for these two positions than that of a player, and Taylor of the High School. The latter has the advantage of the former in ability to cage free shots; but the former makes up for this in his ability to "get" the ball, and not waiting to be "fed." At the central station there has yet to be a man who could be found to outjump Gee, of the High School. A team with its centre outumping their opponent's man has an enormous advantage. Not only is Gee good on "getting up in the air" on the whistle, but he is a hard player, seldom loses. The selection of Gee is about the easiest one to make, as we believe nearly everyone concedes his superiority at this position. The sensational playing of Lyles of the High School, throughout the entire season undoubtedly wins for him a place on the first five. Lyles has broken up many attempts to score, and kept the number of goals made by his opponents to the minimum figure by his all-around good playing in the first five. Lyles in his possession it becomes almost impossible to get it from him, and he has the snip and judgment that mark him as one of the sonnet's best. As between Wilson, Haywood and Chaucey, all of Dunbar, a selection becomes a difficult task. Each different in his style of play, each differing physically from the other, but all of them have a head game of a professional. Because of his great height Wilson has the advantage of either of his other teammates. But the fact that he sometimes loses his usual cool judgment also causes him to lose first choice for guard position. Likewise the head coach may too many fouls to permit him to be selected for this place. Possessing neither of the above faults to a marked degree, we must place our selection on Chaucey as one of the two best guards of the season. All-Star Team line up: All-Star Team: Dunbar; Taylor; High School; center; Gee, H. S.; guards, Lyles, High School; and Chaucey, Dunbar. NOTES OF THE GAME By Gum The challenge of the Armstrong High School to the local High School for a game to decide the championship should be answered only on the condition of the champions must win two games. A game in rivalry, and a deciding game be necessary to toss a coin for the selection. Basketball interest this season was exceeded in interest only during the regime of Mr. Giles. Chauncey and "Dan" were missed from the Dumbar lineup in their final struggle for the mastery. Wilson's showing Saturday night was a crowning effort in his long career as a basketball player and all-round athlete. He played like a veteran and like a youngster—both. Taylor made up for his hard luck in the first game, and came with colors flying. He really showed some speed, and his shots were all sensational. "Chippie" is some boy. Butler was substituted for "Livers" Murray, but he could do no better than his predecessor; in fact his services were not in demand, with "Chippie" on the job. Howard covered himself with glory in both games. His playing was the sensation of both games, and too much credit cannot be given him for his hard work. --- It has been said that some of the members of the High School B. B. team that graduate this year will become affiliated with the Dunbar A. A. next year. If the Dunbar A. A. has done nothing else it has served to keep alive interest in athletics in the city, and keep together the talent which otherwise be lost to the athletic world forever. This is saying a great deal more than can be vouched for any other club of its kind in the city. THE AFRO-AMERICAN LONG HAIR THAT IS SOFT, SMOOTH AND GLOSSY Quinade, Invented by a New York Chemist, Stimulate And Nourishes The Roots of the Hair, Just as a good fertilizer nourishes the soil and produces a rich crop of wheat or corn, so will the proper remedy create a healthy condition of the scalp, and promote the growth of the hair. QUINADE stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, thereby causing a healthy growth. QUINADE was invented by a New York chemist, and is made under the personal supervision of a registered pharmacist of over 25 years' experience; this is a guarantee that QUINADE is as near pharmaceutically correct as can be given in great care and nothing enters this high class preparation unless it is of the highest purity. Seeby's QUINASOAP, the ideal shampoo, is an excellent aid to QUINADE in keeping the scalp in a clean, healthy condition. It should be used about every two weeks. Both articles are sold by druggists and dealers at 25c each, or will be sent direct by Seeby Drug Co., 79 E. 130th St., New York City, on receipt of price. Write for sample of QUINADE, mentioning the name of this paper. Take STRENGTH & LIFE and give it to the children before becoming sick and it will PREVENT Tuberculosis, Infant tile Paralysis, Bronchitis, and fortify the Body against all diseases. $1.50 for large bottle; smaller size, $1.00. Longevity Medical Co., Baltimore, Md. IS THIS TRUE? We had two prominent doctors for our fourteen year old daughter. One was white and the other was colored. They did all they could, but the child was at death's door. The white doctor told me, (Mrs. Brooks) that he had done all he could, and there was no hope for Gladi's recovery. We were worried almost to death. My husband was advised and called in Dr. Campbell, 1869 N. Carey street. He came and in a short time Gladi's was better after taking the Lung Base Treatment and has been improving since. We are delighted. Come and see with your eyes and hear with your ears the TRUTH.

Place, St. Louis, Mo. answering please. mention this: paper! THE AFRO-AMERICAN A Nebraska journal suggests that the word albino as an adjective descriptive of white people. It remarks that such a term, originally from the Latin albus, meaning white, would certainly be descriptive of the Caucasian as Negro, from the Latin niger, meaning black, is of the colored race. Instead of using white hereafter, this journal has adopted albino for permanent use, and in retaliation upon the dailies that print stories about big burly blacks, or big black brues, intends to speak of the adversely abusive albins, or the aggressive albino agitators. NOW IS THE TIME Speaking to a New Orleans audience our own Cardinal Gibbbs remarked that he had always found colored people deeply and naturally religious, and that whereas there are some races, that can hardly be aroused to recognize the Christian religion, the colored people are always responsive to it. Going further still, the Cardinal stated that he had yet to see a colored man who has ever ye proclaimed himself to be an atheist or an unbeliever. About the same time, down in Louisville, Mr. Roscoe Conklek Simmons, in a great patriotic speech, remarked that the Negro has no treason against his country to atone for or to explain. Continuing he added that no colored man had ever insulted the flag, none had ever struck down a president of the United States, and none had ever sold a military secret or a map to a foreign country. "No Negro ever ran under fire or lost an opportunity to serve, to fight, to bleed and to die in the republic's cause. Accuse us of what you will, justly or wrongly, no man can point to a single instance of our disloyalty." Yet this fine religious feeling and strong loyalty mean very little to a government with whom color weigh more than virtue. When a Michigan Mayor wrote recently to the Department of War tendering his services in the event of hostilities, an information blank came back to him, and question number one read "what is your color?" It appears that no qualification mattered so much to our Department of War as this one; neither age, nor health, nor previous experience. Sooner or later, a majority of the colored people are going to learn how not to be sanctified, and good and puppy-like. Some have learned this already. They know the truth of the ancient proverb, if you make yourself a mat, folks will wipe their feet on you. Neither have our domestic animals ever been irreligious or turned against their country. Be it from them, they have never had sense enough. Frederick Douglass as a slave discovered, found out, when he fought back at his overseer, who tried to lash him, the attempt to whip him was not repeated. He noted that those who were whipped oftentest were those who resented it least. Humility is a splendid virtue, but what every pedestrian does to a worm on a rainy day is a plenty. And yet change those worms into rattle snakes with the power to strike back, and the wise man waches his step. We have got to develop some contenders along with other human races. We have had a Nat Turner, and a Toussaint, but we need others. They called George Washington a traitor to England, and unless there is some mistake, one John Brown was hanged for alleged conduct unbecoming a legal American citizen. In Ireland at the present time, National in spite of the numerous arrests and hangings from among their number are endangering Great Britian's conduct of the war by insisting on bringing up now the question of home rule for the Emerald Isle. In Russia, the lower classes are endangering the hopes of their empire for victory, and at the same time the hopes of the whole allied cause, by employing the opportunity while the nation is at war, to get themselves heard on he question of human rights. In the United States there is no better time han now for he Negro to urge his claims as never before. Great Britian in her hour of need is enlisting colored men from this country in her white Canadian regiments. United States will do the same if she is forced to it. Break down the color line in the federal government, and in time the government will swing the single states in line. Let us not listen to this bosh, about he impossibility of our government using mixed regiments. Should Germany and Japan take America by the throat, that "peace at any price" of President Wilson's will become "enlist at any price." The reward of brave Sergeant Big-staff of Carrizal fame was not a commission in the army—that was what he deserved—they gave hi na reward, a hundred dollar a month job in a government office at Washington. Does it pay to fight for Uncle Sam under present humiliating conditions? Who will answer? THE NEGRO MUST TAKE HIS CHANGE. That the Negro is a home body and dislikes moving very much from the locality in which he has made his home for many years, is well known to almost everyone. This has kept him in the South all these years and made him put up with all the inconveniences and troubles of various kinds that have come to his doors. That he is learning to get out and try an entirely new atmosphere is largely to his credit. It is the thing he should have been doing all these years, and perhaps would have done had he been given the least encouragement. To urge him to remain in the South, under the present conditions, is to say the least, anything but wise. He must do as other peoples do—strike out and see what he can do for himself. The opportunities are offering themselves, such as he has never had on thought of before, is evidenced by the demand for his labor in so many places in the North and West. To urge him to remain where he is under present conditions is criminal and against his best interests. If the South would have him remain there must be a new South. Inducements are offered him elsewhere, inducements must be offered him to remain. He must have better opportunities for the education of his children; better environments in which to raise them; grandfather clauses and jincrow laws must be done away with; segregation must go and he must be given a man's chance to live and make such progress as his ability will allow. And so, those who urge him to stay must also urge with all the force at their command that every condition shall be improved. If the South has not yet learned its lesson then it will have the opportunity, when its fields are grown up in weeds, its farms deserted, and its storehouses closed and empty. Sometimes it takes the severest punishment to make communities as well as individuals learn their lessons and learn them well. The South will yet learn that it ha the best, the cheapest and best contented labor to be found anywhere. If this labor forsakes it, it will be a long time before it recovers its place in the progress of the nation. The sending of Rev. Dr. George E. Curry to Lynchburg after a four-year pastorate here at Asbury M. E. Church is regretted by a large circle of his friends here. Not only was he regretted as one of the ablest ministers in the community, but people were beginning to realize his role as a moral force in the community. Though his going was not looked for, it was apparent at the opening of the concluding session of the Washington Annual Conference Monday that he was to be sent to another city. He, apparently, did not like the idea of being sent to another city, but bowed to the will of the bishop. Bishop McDowell stated that Dr. Curry was leaving Asbury Church as a personal favor to him. Dr. Curry hrs been in the ministry for the past 37 years. He has pastored in a number of cities, thus getting a varied and valuable experience. He enjoyed the leadership of the denomination, and is deeply informed on church and secular matters. Baltimore's loss, however, is Lynchburg's distinct gain. A successful Woman's Day service was held on last Sunday at St John's A. M. E. Church. A fine program was rendered at each service with prominent speakers. The collection for the day was the sum of $203.92. The committee in charge wish to thank all who helped to make it a success.

FOLK-SONG SINGERS TO MEET A meeting of the members composing the chorus of the folk-song festival held at Albaugh's Theatre last Friday night under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. will be held at Grace Presbyterian Church, on Monday night of next week. The object of the meeting will be to perfect an arrangement for the continuation of the chorus and to decide as to its future meetings. Rev. Charles A. Stewart, who was elected leader of the chorus is anxious that a large number be present in order that the interest may not lag. "THE WORLD OF FROLICS" S. H. Dudley, one of the country's forceful musicians and composers, and with further claim to fame through his having been starred in "The Smart Set" and other colored musical organizations, is one of the featured members of Dave Marion's "The World of Prolocs" company, which opens an engagement of one week at the Palace next week at the Marion Theater. Mr. Dudley's drol comedy scene, with his donkey, in which he talks to the animal just as if it were a human being and his talking scenes with Mr. Marion are among the laughing hits of the show which is full of laughing hits. During the long engagement the theater in Chicago, Mr. Dudley's work was the subject of most frequent comment and he became the idol of his race in that city through his genius, funny interpretation of the eccentricities of his people without ever descending to an attitude of derision so frequently by colorful performance and unfit by the other members of the race. His work proves conclusively that a colored man can be funny before an audience composed almost entirely of the opposite race without holding his own people up to derision or allowing himself to be made ridiculous. Mr. Dudley deserves a high rating for his contribution to the comedy for the manner in which he has uphold their dignity and the new vision of their capabilities he has provided the public. A CANARD NAILED A rumor has been circulated that the store owned and run by the Radcliffe Grocery Company is owned by a white party. The company said in a 'Mr. Radcliffe' is the sole owner and proprietor and is running the store on his own account. Mr. Radcliffe came to Baltimore for the purpose of going into business as he believed that progressiv, man could do business here if he would use business methods. So far he has made good, and he should have the patronage of every race loving man and woman. J. H. M BUTLER In memory of my beloved mother, Mrs. Martha A.

Smith SPECIAL NOTICE The next regular meeting of the Alumni Association or Lincoln Uni- versity will be held at the residence of Dr. Carr, 515 Mosher Street, Friday evening, March 23 at 9:30 P. M. SONG FESTIVAL BIG SUCCESS BY BOOSTER KNOCK Three things contributed to make the Folk-Song Festival held at Albaugh's Theatre last Friday night under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. a most unique affair: First: The chorus was composed entirely of local talent; Second, Every number on the program was the work of a colored composer; and Third. The music was under the direction of the most talented vocalist in the country, Mme. A. Azalia Hackley. Without a doubt, the festival was received with more general satisfaction than any large affair of recent date. Not since the presentation of Coleridge Taylor's oratoria "Hiwataa" by such a large chorus appeared here, and in view of the fact that Madam Hackley had only two months in which to prepare the chorus for the event, caused music critics to doubt the artistic success of the affair. But they were either ignorant of the large number of fine voices in Baltimore, or they did not know Madam Huck- Possessed of a beautiful voice and enough vitility and enthusiasm for a whole army, Madam Hackley stands out as one of the strongest advocates of the propagation of the folk-songs of the race. She has studied under the best masters of this country and in Europe and has been in the spot- MMe. E. AZALIA HACKLEY light of musical circles for the past decade. She forsook her own career, however, to take up the work of fostering an interest in Negro-folk-songs, and her success along this line has equalled her individual success on the concert-stage. When it was announced in the Afro-American that Secretary Dooker had secured her services to conduct a song festival in this city, music-lovers from every section of the city announced their intention of becoming members of the chorus. Over two hundred applied, and soon the hearsails were under way. The result of these rehearsals was the splendid rendition of the various numbers last Friday night. Without musical accompaniment saving the giving of the first note on the piano by Miss Ethel Scott, every number on the program was rendered in such a manner as to bring enthusiastic applause from the more than one thousand persons present. At every stage was the big chorus under the complete control of the magnetic leader, and the each with which each number was rendered was, perhaps, as much a surprise to the chorus as it meant to the audience. All of the old Negro 'spirituals' were sung, but perhaps, none of them were received with as much enthusiasm as was Dett's prize harmony 'Listo to the Lambs' which had to be repeated a second time. The superb blending of the voices in this very difficult number (which has been rightfully judged a masterful interpretation of Negro music) showed not only the wonderful ability of the leader that made such a perfect rendition possible, but the range of possibility of the colored singers of Baltimore-Burleigh's "Deep River" also received a conscientious interpretation as did his "Antebellum Sermon." The soloists of the evening were Miss B. Thompson, Mrs. Roberta Creditt, Mrs. Pauline Jackson, Miss Evans, Miss Evans, Miss Blanche Calloway, Mrs S. L. Goldman, Miss Alma Kelly, Mrs Wm. Pickens, Dr. O. D. Jones, A. Stansbury, I. R. Johnson, H. C. Fountleroy, P. J. Hall, L. Grievous W. E. Beavers, William B. Hamer, John W. Brown and Rev. C. E. Stewart. In the rendition of Will Marion Cook's "Swing Along" the Y M. C. A. Glee Club, directed by W. E. Beavers, much improvement was shown over previous renditions. As a result of repeated requests during her stay here, to sing, Madan Hackley and Rev. Stewart sang a beautiful duett, which was well received. Madan Hackley's visit was productive of much good in that it gave the people of Baltimore their first glimpse into the beauty and harmony of the only distinctive American music as well as an insight into their own ability in rendering it. That those who compose the chorus have decided to permanently organize themselves is a tribute to the enthusiasm of Madan Hackley as well as an exhibition of good judgment.
