WILL ARM BU Former Assistant Attorney Declares Colored Men Conscripted for WILL FIGHT TO THE N Race Has Stood Enough o Longer Accept a WILL ARM BUT NOT FARM Former Assistant Attorney General William H. Lewis Declares Colored Men Will Refuse to be Conscripted for Farm Labor. WILL FIGHT TO THE DEATH AT THE FRONT Race Has Stood Enough of Foul Play, and Will no Longer Accept an Inferior Caste Among Americans. Boston, Mass., July 26—"We tell the citizens of this country right here and now that we, the colored residents of this country, will fight to death on the field of war, but will never consent to do one day of conscripted farm labor." The foregoing emphatic utterance was made by William H. Lewis, speaking at the fifty-fourth anniversary of the charge made by Robert Gould Staw's men of the 34th Massachusetts Regiment at Fort Wagner, last Thursday. Mr. Lewis, who was fired from his post as Assistant Attorney General of the United States almost as soon as Wilson was first inaugurated President, has been regarded as a conservative in his views, and his strong plan for a democracy that would include colored men was widely cheered. WATCHFULLY WAITING. "The Conscription Act has registered nearly 1,000,000 citizens of the black race," he continued. "We are eager waiting to see whether colored men are to be conscripted; for farm labor only, or are to be given a soldier's chance for service upon the battlefields, to win honors of war, and if need be, to die for their country. We calmly await their answer, but we have given our warring to the country. We've had enough or foul play, and by the eternal, we won't stand for any more. We say to the American people that we will no longer accept an inferior caste among Americans or tolerate any more injustice." Declarating that the Negro had always been loyal to this country and was willing to fight in France, Mr. Lewis asserted: "What right has this country to try and make the world safe for democracy? Why tolerate any sermon so full of hypocrisy and inscrutency? When the I. W. W. crowd was railroaded from Brisbane, Arizona, the President rolled his eyes in great horror, and issued a statement of condemnation for the Western citizens who took law and order into their own hands. But why not go further, Mr. President? Why don't gen. Mr. President, condemn the East Crew of Several Cars take a Hand in Doing Job Well After having been beaten up in a melee with the crows of several cars of the United Railways, Frank Warren a sergeant in the First Separate Company, was dined $50 and costs for alleged assault by Justice Brendel in the Northwestern Police Court Tuesday morning. Another trooper carrying a drum got on a Roland Park car in East Baltimore early Tuesday morning, according to the testimony. The drum started to roll from the rear platform, and Conductor William Blucher pushed it back with his foot. An argument started, and Sergeant Warren, it is alleged, chained in. The argument continued until Richmond Market was reached, when Warren jumped from the car and started for the market. One of the car crew ran after him with a switch iron. Warren ran through the one open space into the market with the railway man behind him. No other doors in the market were open and escape was impossible. The crows of a Mount Washington and other cars took a hand, Warren was struck over the head with a switch iron, had his left eye closed and received a badly hattered face. Conductor Martin VanHorn alleged that Warren struck him in the nose with a brick, breaking it. The trooper with the drum disappeared when Warren jumped from the car. TREATED AT HOSPITAL Word was sent around to the Armory of the First Separate Company that one of their men was being beat en up, but the police were there when several troopers arrived. Warren and Vanifion wer taken to the Maryland General Hospital where their injuries were dressed. Warren was then hooked up. More than a dozen railway men appeared against Warren, and they alleged that he was the aggressor. Justice Brendel held the case; she adverse evidence against him hand disposed of the other cases in the dockers. At eleven o'clock, Serpant Warren was brought in and fined $50 and costs for elkessault. He was held at the station while troopers scurried around to raise his fine. Warren's friends expressed the opinion that he was punished rather severely in view of the fact that a number of men had "messed" him up so badly. Warren is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Dougless Warren, of $13 N. Enaw street, both of whom wore at the trial. VOL. XXV. No. 49 SOLDIER MAULED WILLIAM H. LEWIS St. Louis massacre, the most bloody wholesale murder ever committed by a body of so-called civilized men? "It is not so much that I am a colored man myself that I talk so. It hurts me to the core when I think that all these lynchings, etc. give the other nations of the world a handle to beat us over the head with for our insincerity and hypocrisy." ROOSEVELT PRAISED. Cottonel Roosevelt was praised as a champion of fair play and after denouncing Samuel Gompers and other leading labor men for their attitude the speaker asked: "Will organized labor forbid the black man to enter its ranks, then murder him for not entering?" "We have suffered and to tolerate long enough, and the Moseley-Mackenzie or Prussian frightfulness could never perpetrate murders of more deliberate brutality than those which many saw committed. In broad daylight by citizens of East St. Louis" Mrs. Luella Coleman, "mother" to the 500 inmates of the Coleman Home for Boys. Pittsburg, was buried Thursday of last week.

Ingram, grand master for Georgia, as a member of the order, he having been expelled for contempt. The town solicitor of Oxford, Mass. has ruled that the authorities have no way to compel the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad to deport colored laborers it has lately brought from the South. An effort may be made to secure employment in Chicago for young colored women as relentless operators. Citizens of Morgan Park, Chicago, held a mass meeting last week to protest against colored people occupying property there. Residents at Kenwood, another suburb, are also up in arms about th coming of colored people.

NEWS BRIEFS. --- BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, JULY 28, 1917 AFRICAN SAVAGES URGED TO CRUELTY HOWARD AND Berne, July 11—Swiss citizens who have returned from Africa give reports of the frightful treatment to which German prisoners are exposed after having been transported into the extremely unhealthful French colony of Dahomey. In this country when in consequence of yellow fever and devastating malaria is actually uninhabitable, German prisoners of war are forced to hard work at which they are watched over by brutal Negroes. Inhuman treatment, blows of the lash, solitary commitment, and every sort of torture are the order of the day and French officers, especially the adjutant Venus spur the Negroes on to more and more horrible deeds of violence. In fact, they do not scorn taking part in it personally. German government has been informed of this condition or affairs by eyewitnesses who are for the most part of French blood but who nevertheless express themselves in reproving words about this barbarity of French Colonials and officers so unworthy of the French people and so reminiscent of the Middle Ages. Translated from the N. Y. State Zeitung, July 23, for the Afro-American can SENATOR LEWIS DENIES Washington, July 9.—Senator James Hamilton Lewis, of Illinois, has written a letter to Judge Robert Terrell saying that he was misquoted in the newspapers, which said that he opposed a federal investigation of the riots in East St. Louis because the "Negroes would feel that the government was behind them." "The facts are," he writes, "that when the Federal government was first asked to intervene, many telegrams came here from citizens of East St. Louis, addressed to me, asking that the investigation by the Federal government be not undertaken at this time, saying if it were that the Negroes who were the leaders of the lawless acts and had led the law-abiding Negroes into trouble, would feel that the act of the United States in going into the subject was putting the government behind the Negroes in the effort to circumvent or defeat the then pending State investigation. "What I stated from the floor was merely the contents of the messages and had the full contents been known there would have arisen no misunderstanding." He says that he urged the Department of Justice to make an investigation. ONE TEMPLE TO COST $40.000 Birth of a Race to Rival Tom Dixon's Tuskegee, Ala. July 25—Mr. George Frederic Wheeler, who is collaborating with Emmett J. Scott of the Tuskegee Institute in writing the scenario for he master photo-play, "The Birth of a Race," has held an important series of conferences here during the past week, working over the vast amount of material which they have assembled during the past eighteen months. This material is being put into the form of a story which will be ready for the film workers by the last of September. In describing some of the scenes in "The Birth of a Race" Mr. Wheeler stated that it will cost $4,500 alone to erect one of the tampas which will be shown on the screen for only about five minutes. This will be a complete reproduction of one of the old Egyptian temples erected in the days of the early Negro civilization, thousands of years before the birth of Christ. Mr. Wheeler has spent many months of research, unearthing and verifying facts covering early Negro civilization. Another scene which he described will require twelve thousand people, all of whom will wear specially made costumes. Mr. Wheeler left here Tuesday for Chicago, where the home office of the Birth of a Race Photophy Corporation is located in the National Life Building.

Mad. 5020 HOWARD AND FISK UNIVERSITIES BEST. Dr. Jones Finds Other Colleges Poorly Equipped.—Duplication of Work and Lack of Funds Responsible Adequate college and university education for colored people is urged by Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones of the United States Bureau of Education, Department of the Interior, in the two-volume report on Negro Education just issued by the Department. "If college education is of value to any group, surely it is to those who are to be the leaders of the colored people. Only a broad-minded leadership with a thorough grasp of human development can understand the peculiar difficulties resulting from the close proximity of such widely varying races as the black and the white people of the Southern States. "The race must have physicians of real skill and the spirit of service to lead against the insanitary conditions that are not only threatening the group itself but; also its white neighbors. It must have religious teachers who can relate religion to the morals of the individual and to the common activities of the community. It must have teachers of secondary schools who have had a college education in the great modern sciences and in the historical development of civilization." Dr. Jones points out that despite high ideals and notable enthusiasm the part of the race and its factors, most of the colored institutions calling themselves colleges are poorly equipped and ineffectively organized and administered. Only a few institutions are present have the student body equipment and teaching force at a genuine college, but a number of institutions do some work or college grade. The location of two or more colleges for Negroes in Selma, Ala.: Little Rock, Ark.: Atlanta, Ga.: New Orleans, La.: Holly Springs and Jackson. Miss.: Greensboro, N. C.: Columbia and Orangeburg, S. C.: Nashville, Tenn.: Austin, Marshall and Waco. Tex. indicates a wasteful duplication of collegiate effort. Any plan for further development of college and university education for Negroes should, according to Dr. Jones, take into consideration income, plant, teaching force, and present location of schools offering more or less college work. "Every institution should realize that success and honor and human service are not necessarily attained through a college department or even through an industrial or agricultural plan." The Bureau's report suggests that all agencies interested in Negro education cooperate in the development of a few institutions of university and college graduate. There seems to be general agreement that Howard University at Washington, and Fisk University at Nashville, Tenn., are the most promising institutions for development as universities. College is requested that first-class colleges be located at Richmond Va., Aiken Ga., and Marshall, Tex. Still another group of institutions should be developed into junior colleges or institutions doing two years of college work. A number of institutions are already offering courses of this grade but they are all in need of more equipment and larger income. These institutions, Dr. Jones points out, should make generous provision for teacher-training courses, both in their secondary and college classes. "The education of Negroes in American undoubtedly requires institutions that are genuinely of college grade," says Dr. Jones. "The first step in the realization of this need is the agreement that all shall comine in an effort to develop a few well-selected institutions. The second requirement is the determination on the part of the institutions that every college activity shall be adapted to the demands of modern society." WHAT WILL STOP LYNCING Guns, Bombs and Prayer Have Thus Far Been Advocated The women of Washington say they will continue to pray until their view of mob violence and crimes is accepted by American people. Louis A. Lavelle a New York lawyer says, "No man is more God fearing than I—but God had his chance in E. St. Louis, and somehow He did not stop the riots. You have got to help yourself. You have got to keep the Company turning out arms for you." George W. Harris, editor of the New York News, says that we have got to learn a little chemistry, and know how to make bombs. Which is the right remedy—prayer, guns or bombs? Read Jack Howard's story "Immediate settlement" in three installments beginning in the Afro-American August 11.

COLONEL YOUNG AND BISHOP JOHNSON AT GAMP Given Hearty Welcome by Rookies and Col. Ballou 10,000 Attend Exercises in Drake Stadium BY A BALTIMORE ROKIE Fort Des Moines, Ia., July 24—During the past week, Colonel Charles Young spent several days at Fort Des Moines visiting the embryo officers and members of the regular army. At the several barracks he received a cordial welcome and always found writing ears to listen to his jokes and yanks and to his revelations of army adventures. He witnessed the regimental parade and received a very cordial welcome from Colonel Ballou, commanding the post, and other officers. BISHOP JOHNSON AT CAMP The city of Des Moines and fort were fortunate in having the presence and services of Bishop J. Albert Johnson of the A. M. E. Church last Sunday and days following. Sunday his time was divided between St. Paul A. M. E. Church and the army Y. M. C. A. Large audiences greeted him on all occasions. He inspected the camp and was visible impressed by the progress made by the candidates. On Monday night he was guest of Company. PHOTOGRAPHERS BUSY. Photographers have found it profitable to photograph the numerous small groups within the restroom. The group composing students and instructors of Howard University compose the largest group. They were photographed last Sunday. The list of instructors from Howard include H. H. Long, B. C. Curley, L. H. Russelli, Frank Coleman, James H. N. Waring, J. M. Gregory, C. W. Marshall, Charles Houston and Ernest Pollard. Among the other groups are the Masonic, Alpha Phil Alpha Fraternity, Hampton, Tuskegee, etc. CAVALRY AND ARTILLERY To date nothing has been said with reference to instruction in cavalry or artillery by the camp instructors. A good many of the rookies signed up for either the cavalry or artillery branch of the service. There is no doubt that a large number of the men would do better work in these two branches than in infantry alone. Some decision is expected very soon and should the camp instruction be limited to that of infantry alone there will be a deal of disappointment. Companies thirteen and fourteen are gradually being absorbed by the other twelve companies. It is reported that the original plan was to have fourteen companies; nine companies of infantry, four of cavalry and one of artillery. The sending away of a large number of men during the past week and the arrival of 25 non-comissioned officers from the Ninth Cavalry, have caused the several companies to be enchanged in their make-up and squad formations. The candidates have received three more text books to add to their already nine in number and camp instruction is moving along quite rapidly—from the school of the soldier to regimental drill in six weeks. BOOKIES AT DRAKE UNIVERSITY Last Sunday ten thousand! people of Des Moines and nearby cities were present at a patriotic demonstration given by the men in training at Fort Des Moines. Colonel Roosevelt had been invited to be present and serve as officer of the occasion, but found it impossible to be with the rookies and the Des Moines folk. The exercises were held at the Drake University stadium. The crowd arrived early and were entertained at the start by the Typographical Union Band. The singer of the men was somewhat different. It was for the most part the peculiar rudal melody of the Negro presented by a group under military training. All through the selections ran the strain of melancholy always evident in truly Negro music. When the eight members of a double quartet sang "Couldn't hear Nobody Pray" they told the whole tragedy of an oppressed people in their voices. Following the singing came the regimental parade under co-mand of Colonel Ballou. The rookies went through the manual or arms with snap and precision. The men went from the fort in street cars or by the big auto trucks of the quartermaster's department. PASTOR FINED Rev. A. L. Gaines, pastor of Waters A. M. E.

Washington. July 27—With an earnestness against present day wrong that savors of the days before the Civil War when slaves prayed nightly and earnestly to be released from the degradation of human bondage, sunrise prayer meetings are now being held in a number of churches. Not only do overflowing crowds attend these early morning gatherings, but the Almighty is reverently invoked to put a stop to such outrages as the East St. Louis riots. The riots in the Illinois city, lynchings and general prosecutions against the race are the primary causes for holding these meetings, and it has now become a familiar sight to see people docking to church at six o'clock in the morning. Similar meetings have been held in other cities, and as a result, petitions have poured into Congress from various sources begging that an end be put to the anti-Negro outrages and prosecutions. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, one of the most active spirits in the campaign of protest and prayer, says that the fight has only just begun. A big petition was sent to President Wilson this week protesting against the East St. Louis riots and similar outbreaks. Not only is prayer a feature of the meetings, but literature is distributed calling attention to the glaring kronos he race suffers. A small pamphlet entitled "Let us Pray," written by Rev. Dr. Walter H. Brooks, says that where mob violence usually occurs officers of the law allow the mob free reign that members of Congress only await the protests from the people before beginning to take action against these wrongs and that "it was prayer which sustained our fathers amid the calamities of the centuries of enslavement and ever kept the fires of hope burning brightly in their breasts." THE CIVIL WAR TOLL "During the Civil War," the pamphlet reads, "Abraham Lincoln was made to feel that in that terrible war God was requiring at the hands of the American people of the stronger race a drop of blood drawn by the sword for every drop of slave blood that had been drawn by the lash during the two and a half centuries of human slavery in these states. "But we pray not for judgment upon the American people: we pray that they may turn from their madness before they bring down upon their own heads the fate which overtook Rome, the greatest empire the world ever saw. It perishes more from its own injustices and follies than from foes without." The National Association of Colored Women has a circular, which reads in part: "The millions being given in MONEY and in MEN to establish a DEMOCRACY will be wasted unless the Federal government enforces the law that will put a stop to LYCHING, and mob violence." The circular also says that a democracy is "a country in which COLOR DODES NOT count and just laws are enforced." Another pamphlet declares that white children must be taught to have respect for the law and not be "allowed with impunity to trample upon the rights of citizens of color and to treat the women of the race with contempt." "WRONGS MUST BE RIGHTED" The call for the meeting held at Mt. Zion Baptist Church Wednesday morning declares: "Wrorms persecuted upon American people can and must be righted. The nearest way to the conscience of the American people is by way of the throne of God. "We propose to fight for our country, against foes at home and abroad; to help conserve its food fuel and supplies. But there will be no world democracy until the burning of innocent women and babies, aged men and innocent citizens, of color, is taken from the list of "sports" of civilized Americans."

The Morgan Drug Company 1512 Atlantic Avenue Brooklyn, New York YOU CAN HAVE LONG STRAIGHT HAIR YOU CAN HAVE LONG STRAIGHT HAIR If Anxious to Improve Your Hair and General Appearance Read This Carefully There are so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perfumed grease. It is no wonder people get discouraged when an onion is used deciding on what to use on your scalp to be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seeby's Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is the invention of a New York chemist and is made under the personal supervision of a licensed pharmacist of many years' experience. Quinade satisfies and purifies the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. It makes the hair soft, smooth and glossy, and easy to put up in the style desired. To get the best results from the use of Quinade, the scalp should be shampooed at regular intervals with Seeby's Quinasapoil. Quinasapoil is an oil of vegetable oil, principally coconut oil, and contains no animal fat of any kind. It lathers very freely and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasapoil leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp, unequalled by any other shampoo. It does not any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinasapoil, asking for them by the full name. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler. The price is 25 cents.

WOMEN'S DEPARTMENT Edited by Margaret Black SOMEWHERE BETWEEN Between the day-break and the sun, Between what's doing and undone, Twist what is best and what is won The span of life we see; thee Between the thinking and the deed, Between those who follow and those who lead, I find myself and thee. Between our hopes which shine afar Against life's sky-like some bright star, And fate's most stern relentless bar, All loses and woes exist; So if our lives which seem so bright. Should be obscured by some dark night. Remember there's a brighter light No darkness can resist. Every time that I have picked up a paper in the past few days, I see some comment on the lynching and rioting of East St. Louis. I have also noticed how few editors and comments the papers make upon the better, and as I have read and thought, I have also wondered just how much longer we are going to submit to such treatment and do nothing but hold indignation meetings, and protest to people, who pay as much attention to our protesting as they do to a fly that stands in their way. We have got to get together and do something besides send delegates to a president, who has not one little moment to receive them in, and listen to their demand for fair treatment. What kind of people must they think us, that they expect us to sit quietly down, and permit any old poor rebel to ride up to our door and rebel to kill innocent people, who have never even thought of burning them and whose only crime is trying to earn a decent living. It is time we studied some other method that will guarantee us at least a right to guarantee our living in peace, and as we wish, as long as we are law abiding citizens. Is it because we have learned that it is a dangerous experiment to measure our work by the compensation we expect to receive for it? And whatever may be our name, vocation or pay it is far wiser and better always to serve to do our best, and eclipse even those whose wages may be double our own? And our employees have found that we are faithful and to be depended upon to do the right thing at the proper time without having to be driven like cattle? And that our men make better workman and do not give them half the worry that a foreigner does? He does not have so many holidays, nor does he need the whole colony to be laid off for a week for a wedding for a christening, and he keeps cleaner homes and is anxious that his children shall attend school as long as possible. Is it because of these things that we are expected to take all kinds of insults? There is a song that tells us "To count our mercies, and number all the gifts of love and to keep a daily record of the comforts from above." I wonder how many comforts those poor people of East St. Louis have to be thankful for? Their minds, and hearts and bodies have each alike been battered and crushed. "Tis ours to help those weak ones, so their cries will be hushed and their homes be safe. So it is up to us to find and devise some way to help make their lot secure and help to maintain their rights and especially those that are truly worthy, and we can't do it by sitting, tunely watching the smoke curl hair from our men and fifteen cent cigars or sitting comfortably back in our easy rockers enjoying our comforts without a thought of any one else but ourselves.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES PAYABLE IN ADVANCE Three Months - - - Forty cents Six Months - - - Fifty Cents One Year - - - One Dollar SATURDAY, JULY 28th, 1917. The First Separate Company has entered the Federal service. It will soon be "Good bye, good luck, God bless you." T. Thomas Fortune, veteran editor and writer, has discovered on a recent trip in the South that white folks down there are changing color. The uniformly white color is gone. They have mixed with colored blood, and now their sins are finding them out. Mr. Fortune, barred from getting accommodations when he got in the colored line, got into the white line and got stateroom and accommodations first class. Whether colored folks get lighter, or white folks get darker, it amounts to the same thing in the end. Trying to stop amalgamation is like trying to make the law of gravitation of no force. STUDY YOUR EMPLOYER'S BUSINESS There is no doubt that a characteristic Southern attitude of the Bentimore Branch of the Bethlehem Steel Company towards its colored workmen has prevented many of them from attaining higher positions in the company. Out of the many thousands of workmen, only one Andrew J. Brown is drawing a salary, all of the others work by the hour. The fact that Mr. Brown has pushed his way to the front, is the best indication that colored men are not altogether excluded from the high places. Difficulties in the way are great—the work requires burning the midnight oil so as to become familiar with the theoretical as well as the practical side of the employer's business—but they are not insuperable. Several foremen have been at Sparrows Point as long as Mr. Brown. The practical operation of the work in their department, they know from A to Z. What to do they know thoroly, why they do it they do not know. Nothing but study will help them. As long as they do not study they are simple machines performing mechanical tasks. "IN THE FIGHT TO STAY" Any one, who is inclined to pass over lightly the series of prayer meetings held by the National Association for Colored Women, would do well to note the following letter from Miss Nannie Burroughs, leader of the Washington movement. Beginning without introduction, Miss Burroughs says: We are in the fight to stay. Petitions will be presented to President Wilson this week. I am now arranging a conference, and am compiling petitions. Can't you send a few from Baltimore. Send directly to the President. Help us. "In the fight to stay" expresses something of the faith of the fathers, plus the determination that comes of having suffered too much. In spite of the President's silence, people are yet hoping that he will act for them. It will be a sad day for this country, when every expedition having been tried, colored people feel that they must rely upon themselves. The petition sent to President Wilson read as follows: To the President of the United States The Senate Committee on Judiciary and The House Committee on Judicary I am an American citizen of full age and accountability and do here and now, over my signature, most solemnly protest against the outrages perpetrated against other American citizens in East St. Louis, Illinois, July 2, 1917, and petition you to comply with the request made by Congressman L. C. Dyer in H. J. Resolution 118 as speedily as possible. Date..... Every person, who entered the Afro-American Building Thursday signed one of the above petitions. They were forwarded to President Wilson Friday morning. Last week marked the fourth time in the last ten years that mail riffers in city P. O. have been apprehended. The efficiency of the secret service is commendable. Only poor people send money in cash by special delivery or in common mails. Wealthy or middle class persons use checks, drafts and money ords. To the poor person, the loss of money may mean rent, food or medicine. It would work a tremendous hardship on the public, if it became generally felt that the mails were not safe for the transmission of small amounts. STAY WHERE YOU ARE There is no denying that living conditions among colored farm hands have improved wonderfully from a few years ago when a farmer employing farm labor that any old shack and enough food to keep a man strong was all that was needed to satisfy and hold his labor. Today the Farm Labor Bureau is so in need of laborers and canners that it is willing to pay $20 to $30 per month in wages with house rent and vegetables and fruit free. Is this a good proposition? Let us see. House rent in country districts might be set at $10 per month; board, not counting what the average man can raise in a garden, $15; wages in cash $25—n total of $55 per month. It is worth remembering that these are harvest wages, and that in cold weather wages stop. On the other hand, men in the industries in cities are earning from $2.50 to $3.50 per day, and there is work all the year round. More than this, there is too much of the old master and slave relation in the work that pays in wages and rent and food. If the farmers want to bid for workmen in the cities to return let them offer a flat sum in wages, $5 or $60 or what not. Let the savior become man enough to decide where he shall live and what he shall eat. Unless farmers are willing to pay higher wages and pay them in cash money we urge every industrial worker to stay in the city industries. > BOYCOTT THEM Dean Piekens says he is always struck with the endless good nature of the colored people. No better example of this good natur can be seen than the behavior of city folk under the operation of the Segregation Ordinance. The Ordinance was drawn by skillful lawyers, so that it does not appear to do injustice to either race. It says that whites shall not move in blocks where colored people are in the majority, and vica versa. Here is how the ordinance works out. Colored people find themselves restricted to a small section of the city. Rents have advanced. 25 per cent on them, while desirable houses a few squares away rent for less. Segregation in residential sections was the first step to separating the races in every activity. There is no common ground where they meet as members of this commonwealth. Finally the only whites, who venture to remain in the colored sections are the store keepers. Here is where the good nature of the colored folk comes in. They tolerate the white storekeepers, and continue to deal with them. Of course the white storekeepers are not to blame for the segregation ordinance, but if they were forced out, whites would begin to feel the pinch that their own laws cost us. Here is one kind of retaliation that every self-respecting citizen must practice. The Afro-American seriously suggests meetings of civic organizations and churches to discuss boycotting of white storekeepers. QUALITY NOT QUANTITY Athan, J. Georgin, possibly offers the best example of the duplication of work done by higher schools in the South. The Baptists support Morehouse College; Atlanta University is supported chiefly by the American Missionary Association; Spelman Seminary is conducted by the Baptists for girls: The M. E. Church supports an academic school known as Clark University, and a theological school known as Gammon Theological School. The A. M. E. Church conducts Morris Brown University. Nashville, Tennessee, it not so far behind Atlanta with Fiske University, to which the American Missionary Association contributes; Walden University, supported by the M. E. Church; Roger Williams University, supported by the Baptists, and Meharry Medical College, the largest in the country. If all of these institutions in a single city could come together under a single administration, thousands of dollars in time, equipment and salaries could be saved. The amount of waste involved in running two schools like Atlanta and Morehouse within a few squares of each other is tremendous. One good university in either of the above named cities would meet the needs of that section. No more timely advice could be offered than that advanced by Dr. Jones when he urges, "all agencies interested in Negro Education to co-operate in the development of a few institutions of university and college grade." $20,000 a month increase has been given to the Belgian Commission fighting tuberculosis in that nation. Due to the ravages of this disease the birth rate is only 7.4 per one thousand, while the death rate is 23.7. Poor food, bad housing conditions, and lack of medical attention have caused the death rate to rise higher than that of the colored people in many American cities. The conditions are serious, but we wonder will any apologists arise, and "tattle things with a wave of the hand" saying, ...REVIEWS AND OPINIONS.... Great Opportunity There to do Effective Social Work. "There is a great opportunity for Central M. E. Church, Caroline and Bank streets, to do effective social uplift work in the southeast section of the city, Rev. Julius S. Carroll, pastor of the church, told a representative of the Afro-American the other day. A strong church years ago," said Rev. Me. Carroll, "the uptown and northward migration has made in reads on the membership. The problem here is largely the one that faces many downtown churches. I would not have Centennial Church move to another locality, believing it can do so much good in its present location. "As one looks around, however, he finds that many of the old families live nowhere in the vicinity of the church. He notices that many of them taken their places, that they for, do not attend church. The problem is how to reach these people and to make them feel the uniting influences of the church. "There is not only a need for social settlement work down here, but such a thing as a day nursery where working mothers may leave their children while at work to die and left five children several months ago. Since then one of the children has died, and the mother, in order to provide for the little ones, has been or will be forced to go out in order to earn a living, and I think that the oldest child will have to look out for the others during the mother's absence, a most unfortunate situation. A day nursery at Centennial Church would be of great assistance to this class of mothers. Then there are other mothers who leave the institution may do toward community uplift. I wish that some persons could see the necessity for such work as I see it, and aid in its establishment." ONE BOTTLE OF BEER EQUALS $1 Jonathan Jones was reasoning painfully aloud with Susan Spriggs on the return trip of the Starlight with the Pythians from Cambridge last week when the bont policeman was called in to decide the argument. He hooted a axe, because I was late for the hunt. Susan don't ask no questions, but jumped into the taxi too. Now I claim that she owes me 15 cents as her share of the fare," explained Jones. The boat policeman rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Did she ask you to pay her fare?" Did you ask her for the money while you were in jail? "Why?" The questions and waited for a reply. As none came, he drawled deliberately "I fine you five bottles of beer, to be paid immediately." When the fine had been paid and the court, principals and witnesses had refreshed themselves, one of the witnesses had the rudeness to step on the foot of the late victim without offence, aology, with the "court" immediately "found" him five bottles of beer. However before further recesses of the "court" could be held, Captain George Brown, who had gotten wind of the proceedings, appeared upon the scene, called the court to hear a fine of the policeman, who had been forbidden to partake of the amber fluid while on duty. Court was then adjourned. WAR ADS IN THE AFRO—1920 "New Ford Car latest $150 model. Will exchange for underwear or nighties. Address P. O. Box 23.

Editor The Afro-American Tonight, after working in my "war garden," I laid back in my "old arm chair" to enjoy the hour that I devote each Monday evening reading The Afro-American. Therein I found the portrait of Rev. Dr. W. Simpson from the 1915 edition of the editor of "Who's Who of the Colored Race" is the loser because the biographical sketch of Dr. Brooks is not to be found in the 1915 edition. And I hasten to repay on the very common writing paper at hand, without waiting to reach my writing machine. It is true that "Who's Who" is incomplete; but no book of the character ever can be complete, which is the reason new issues must appear from time to time. Our second edition is now being prepared, and Dr. W. Simpson, if he will furnish the necessary data. THE THIRD PAKAGRAPH in the PREFACE of Vol. 1, 1915, explains the case plainly. I am not sure, as my files are not at hand, but I believe it safe to say that our regular blank was sent to Dr. Brooks at St. Louis with the request that he furnish data. We feel the loss just the same, and a blank will be mailed to him at once for Vol. 2. Every colored man and woman does or her "bit" in some work which tends to the advancement of the race is entitled to a sketch in "Who's Who" free of charge. Data blanks are mailed promptly for the asking. F. L. MATHER. Editor (Who's Who of the Colored Race) JAMES C. HAYES, beloved son of John and Ida B. Hayes, 1841 Dudl Hill avenue, was drowned Tuesday, July 17th at Locust Point. His body was found on Thursday, July 19th. His death came as a distinct shock to his wide circle of friends. He was a brother of the late William Brother. He was a faithful Christian and ardent member of Trinity Baptist Church, Robert Street near Drudl Hill avenue, where his funeral services were held Sunday, July 22nd at 2 o'clock. Rev. Digs, pastor of the Trinity Church, interment was in Mt. tiburnum cemetery. He leaves to mourn their loss a father, mother, sister and brother.

Thornton, white business men of Montgomery, Alabama, were in town recently in the interest of a new Negro Encyclopedia, which they hope to issue next year, a deal of great importance to guide life stories in briefs of successful colored men, and histories of prominent institutions is said to have originated with the late Booker T. Washington. The work was started under him, but the scope was so large and capital needed so great, that Mr. Washington began a new endowment which to continue. After his death, the white business men of Montgomery, took up the proposition and with the endorsement of Secretary Emmett Scott and Principal Moton, started to cover the county with a new collection of colored people to take space and subscribe for forthcoming issues. Messrs. Noble and Thornton say that relations between the races in Montgomery and surroundings are better than any other place in the South. Montgomery, like other places, has been hit by the migration movement. TO STOP LYNCHINGS "White people have so much power and colored people so little, that we have thought one of the best ways to pet rid of mob violence and race prejudice in this country is to pray." said Rev. Joseph G. Grant, pastor of Central M. E. Church, of Washington, in the Afro-American office last Monday. There are three organizations that are conducting these prayer meetings in the churches. Miss Nannie Burroughs of the National Baptist Training School holds a weekly prayer meeting in some church in the morning between six and seven. Rev. Simon Drew of the Cosmopolitan Baptist Church is holding such meetings in his church, and then the Ministerial Alliance holds a prayer meeting every evening in one of the churches of the city. We are in earnest. We expect such outrages as East St. Louis and Memphis to stop. We have gone one working toward the same end they are bound to cease. Our meetings may last through August."

The chart and entire equipment of the order was presented to the president of the new order, James A. Bond. Commandery of 8 of Washington, D. C. THE WEEKLY SERMON THE REWARD FOR LOYALTY James, the writer of the general epistle of James in chapter one and verse 25 says "But whose looketh in to the perfect law of liberty and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. We are sure that James does not refer to the law of types and shadows, a law of the law of the law of the law, he refers to the law that liberates man from all condemnation, when he continues in its requirements. "Hovey we know that we know him, if we keep His commandments" I John 2:3-4. Men in all ages have been attacked for their loyalty to the law of God. It shows that Satan does not want mankind to revolt. Revolution 12:17 "And the dragon (dead) was wilt with the woman (church) and went to make war with the remnant of her seed which keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus. Here it is shown that the enemy well knows that God's law of ten commandments has not been abolished, he commanded, which he does not keep it will be rewarded, and so he eases everything in his power to get men to believe that they are not for the Christian, or else they have totally abolished and some other who keep it will be rewarded, and so he eases everything in his power to get men to believe that he (the dragon) was a liar and the father of hees) John 5:44. Daniel, you remember, was cast into the lion's mouth of his God, Daniel 6:5. But what was the belief of the Jesus has his will. That man delivered him as He will every man that dares to obey His law. That was a question of the law of God that confronted the three Hebrews, for they were commanded to bow down to an image, which would have meant that they would have to break the second commandment, which he does not do, cast into a fiery furnace, God took the time to walk with them in the fire fanning back the flames and these faithful commandment keepers were saved. God is no respecter of persons and in every age and nation they that fear him will be delivered. Had I space I would again quote from the Baptist directory page 167 that the law of God is unchangeable and that he must turn to the law and not to abolish it. Also in the Methodist discipline we read that "no Christian is free from the obedience of the commandments" and we read in the Presbyterian confession or rath that "the law is perfect and binceth every one to the full conformity of it. The same can be read from the Episcopal church and that Protestantism knows that the law must be kept that man might be saved. May the Lord impress all to respect heaven's divine law that God can see in them a willingness to walk in His ways.**** TRINITY HAS FINE EXCURSION One of the best ordered excursions of the season to Brown's Grove was that of Trinity A.

Philip Henson, one of the best known Pythians in the State, died at his home in Chestertown Wednesday, following an illness of over two years. Mr Henson was K. P. at Chestertown and of Hannibal Lodge of Masons, this city.

Pennsylvania avenue opposite Pitcher street, is growing in popularity under the management of the genial Charles Mosley. Despite the fact that he is nearly always busy looking after the patrons' rooms, he also pleasurable answering any questions and in seeing that the many who visit the popular playhouses are pleased. He bubbles over with good humour and the Regent is becoming one of the best known houses of its kind, under his able management. He greets a patron at the threshold of the theatre where Miss Emma McDaniels holds forth in the ticket office. Then there is Mr. "Jake" Thomas, the head usher, who is never so happy as when securing patrons good seats. The maitresses are features and every effort is made to look after the welfare of the children. A number of good offences are being committed near future in keeping with Mr. Mosley's policy to have nothing but the best. The theatre is owned by the Hornstein Amusement Company.

Somerset Cos, Pays: BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE NEGRO sooner the problem of producing bleed of high quality has been once faced, the next problem is that of marketing the cream. The ice cream parlor is the retail end of the ice cream business, and in its proper selection, location and equipment rests the success of marketing the product of the ice cream factory. In selecting a location and sitting up the parlor one fact should be constantly borne in mind, that is, that an ice cream parlor is a social centre, and it should be located near the centre of frequent social activities, and be made as inviting as possible in its exterior and interior appearance. It is as a social centre that an ice cream parlor will succeed because no such accommodations are provided by white ice cream dealers, especially in the South. As a result, a well-fitted, inviting parlor, functioning as a social centre for Negroes, has a monopoly of their trade. LOCATION OF PARLOR. ..... As intimated above, the parlor should be located as near as possible to the centre of social activities of Negroes. Carefully made estimates as to the exact centre of social activities may be made. The most successful parlor the writer has known located as follows: were located in village. Parlor number one—At a point where hundreds of persons passed every week day on their way to the "movies" and on Sunday on their way to church. Parlor number two—Between two churches. churches Parlor number three—In a building in which were several lodge rooms and a dance hall. Of the choice of locations in the above cases may have been made thou sheer luck, but it is best not to trust to luck in the location of a site. EQUIPING A PARLOR. The social nature of an ice cream parlor again appears in the problem of fitting up the parlor. Attractive and inviting interior and exterior decorations, fittings and furnishings are essential. Greeks and Italians, who are successful in the business, fit up their parlor with exceeding good taste. They arrange continuous mirrors around the walls and install furniture of a pleasing design. Often they install a player piano to emphasize the social nature of their enterprise. A soda fountain is indispensable as a means of selling the smallest quantity of ice cream for the most money. It may cost from $200 to $1,000 or even more to fit up a parlor, but if it is done in a manner to make the place inviting—if it gives the parlor the "come hither" appearance, it is well worth spending. Cigars, candy and fruit forh profitable side lines for the retail ice cream business for the following reasons: 1. Men smoke after they eat or Miss Hullie Queen Coming to Tell Baltimoreans of Her Experiences In East St. Louis During Riot The appeal for a special Red Cross Fund for the relief of the St. Louis sufferers, recently made by a committee of ladies has met with an encouraging response and on Friday, July 20. Mrs. Mamie Thomas, chairman with Mrs. Fernancis handed to the headquarters treasurer of the American Red Cross at Washington, D. C. $50.00 to be used for this speci- no purpose. Through the courtesy of Dr. J. W. Magtuder of this city who has been temporarily engaged in emergency work at the Washington headquarters correspondence from St. Louis was shown these ladies in which it was stated that the pressing need for rehabilitation work required a sum of 10,000.00 $10,000,000 This statement came from the St. Louis office through Miss Halile Queen of Howard University Red Cross Auxiliary who has been acting as a special agent with the Red Cross chapter of St. Louis. Chapter of St. Louis Miss Queen has very recently returned from St. Louis and filed a report at headquarters in Washington of what she actually saw of conditions among the refugees. tions a Miss Queen has informed the committee here that she has special permission from the Ired Cross headquarters to come to Baltimore to tell her St. Louis experiences.

Yupng men, escorting young ladies into an ice cream parlor are usually in a "spending mood," and will generally spread themselves on candy or fruit for the young lady accompanying them. Stocking up in these and similar side lines that will sell, not only is profitable, but renders the business less subject to seasonable fluctuations. Catering usually goes with the ice cream business when it has been built up to the point where it supplies the trade of social functions. In Washington, D. C. is a firm that sends out men with push carts, who peel ice cream for a per cent of the sales. When the business has been well developed and a storage system is necessary, the manufacture and sale of artificial ice may be entered upon with profit in itself, and with great saving to the ice cream business. One outstanding feature of the ice cream business is the frequency of turnovers. The more frequently a stated sum of money can be put into ice cream and taken out again in sales at a profit, the greater will be the volume of business done and the greater the total prises. If $15 can be put in ice cream today and the cream sold tomorrow, at a profit say of 50 to 100 per cent, and this repeated on an average or 250 days to the year, the result is total sales of $4500 to $6,000 a year, with profit from $1,500 to $3,000. This principle of multiplying the earning power of a dollar many times, is one of the most important principles governing business of any kind, and in the ice cream business it is especially applicable. The ice cream dealer carefully calculates the amount of cream necessary to supply his trade each day, and each day, should his calculations be accurate, his investment will be returned to him with profit. The ice cream business, like many other businesses, is a neglected opportunity at the door of the Nexro. Those who enter it, in many cases lack the necessary education to successfully develop it, while men with the requisite training scorn it as having no attractions for their trained (7) minds. White men have dignified the business, have applied their knowledge of physics, chemistry and biology to a mastery of its intricacies, and it is no unusual thing to hear of a new ice cream company being organized with a capital of from ten to fifty or even one hundred thousand dollars. Negro men of brains and training for which he finds no opportunity to use in other fields, and with the necessary capital funds, can not only find here a profitable undertaking, but one that will give him the opportunity to gratify scientific inclinations, build up a business that will become a dignified social centre—a power for good as against some of the disreputable "joints" maintained by others—and to become a respected and influential citizen of his community, as much for his ability to do good, as for the money or wealth he may succeed in acquiring. BOSTON WOMAN RECOMMENDING IT TO HER FRIENDS. Popular Boston Lady Says Tonoline Has Proven a Godsend to Her. It is always interesting to listen to the statements of our friends, and especially when you know they are sincere and honest in what they say. Added interest is created when a statement coming from one who has spent a lifetime in Boston, where she is well known socially. Such a person is Anne Stewart who resides in Boston, and is possessed of the respect and confidence of her associates, and is willing for anyone to call on her to verify the following signed testimonial. "I have suffered from stomach trouble for the past seven years. It took the form of indigestion and dyspepsia. I had dizzy spells and headaches, and after I ate a little food it would ferment and cause gas to form in my stomach. I had plans all over my body, and was chronically constipated. My liver was toppled, and I felt generally miserable. I had doctored and been sent to the hospital, but received no permanent relief. I was so nervous and restless that at night I could scarcely sleep. The gas pressing under my heart caused palpitation and when I rose in the morning I was just as tired as when I retired. About two weeks ago I began to take tonoline, and I can truthfully state that it has done wonders in my case. I am feeling like a new woman and can eat any kind of food. I sleep the night through and have no more aches; or pains; in fact it has more dime; I am recommending it to all of my friends, as it has been a Godsend to me." Reid Drug and Chemical Company sells and guarantees tononile. There are numerous symptoms of this trouble that tononile can relieve. In fact, any of the following may denote affections of the stomach: Indigestion, dyspepsia, belching of wind, bad breath, sick throbbing headache, poor circulation, night sweats, that tired feeling, costiness, coated tongue or a por complexion. Caution—As tononile is recommended as a flesh builder those not wishing to increase their weight fifteen pounds or more should not take it continuously.

CONCLUSION. If for any reason these muscles are lacking in strength, vision will be painful and cross-eyes, even, may result. Special lenses are required to relieve weak muscles, and and the reader will readily appreciate that finding the form of lenses to correct the various errors of vision should be intrusted only to those who make a specialty of eyestrain work.

Threatening skies kept down the gallery in Drudg Hill Park last Friday, when the finals in the city tennis championship matches were staged. Frank N. Cardozo and Ralph Reckling treated the loyal few to an exciting match in which the former emerged the victor. The final scores were 6-3, 6-2, 6-1. Most of the games went to deuce, and advantage wavered. In the first two sets, Cardozo was pushed to his limit. The score was 3-1 against him in the first set before he could brace. The initial games showed Cardozo winded and without any speed to his service. His short lobs fell just right for smashing, and the advantage was all Reckling's. The finals ended with Cardozo holding his opponent's back hard too strong and began trying the other side, carrying off the set by a narrow margin. Reckling's double and smash into the net at a critical point together with an "off" decision by a lineman deprived him of his early advantage. As the match progressed, Cardozo lost his nervousness. His reverse service, that cut the side lines, fairly steamed over and Reckling found it impossible to handle it. This is the second year that Cardozo has won the club championship. The results of the tournament are as follows: Rhetta defeated Stewart, 6-2, 6-0. McCardio defeated Wright, 6-1, 6-2. Reckling defeated Draxton, 6-2, 4-6, 9-7. Rhetta defeated McCard, 6-2, 6-1. Reckling defeated Rhetta, 7-2, 6-3. Jones defeated Huert, 6-4, 5-7, 6-4. Cardozo defeated Davis, 6-2, 6-1. Cook defeated Wheeler, 5-3, 8-6. Cardozo defeated Cook, 6-1, 6-4. Cardozo defeated Jones, 6-1, 6-2. Reckling defeated Rhetta, 6-2, 6-1. Finals: Cardozo defeated Reckling 6-3, 6-2, 6-1.

It set me at least almost crazy from itching. During those years, I went to hospitals and tried about 30 doctors without relief. The disease never checked. My son took me to Dr. Campbell, the specialist, 1369 N. Carey street, Baltimore, Md. He treated me seven months and I am now completely cured. If anyone happens to suffer such a terrible skin disease, go to Dr. Campbell, who, I believe*, can cure anything a person was not born with, and he is, to my mind, the best doctor in the world.
