FRANCES HAWKINS, 1079 West Lexington street. An auto accident on Edmondson avenue near 16th street, on Thursday night of last week was responsible for the instant death of two of the occupants of the car, the death of another of the women on Tuesday of this week and a severe injury to the fourth member of the party. William H. Cooper, a barber, with shop at 939 Pennsylvania avenue, the owner and driver of the car (a seven passenger Kissell) was said to be on his way from Cntonsville, where he took his friends to visit. No explanation of the accident could be obtained except that he was not an expert driver, and from the marks in the road around the place where the accident occurred, was evidently going at a high rate of speed. Cooper and one of the women accompanying him were killed instantly while Hattie Whiting lingered with a crushed chest and fractured skull until Tuesday, five days after the accident, when she died. Eugene Harris, the other occupant of the car, received a severe shaking up and some broken bones. COOPER NATIVE OF CAMBRIDGE At the Cooper home, 1140 N. Carey street, Mrs. Cooper, wife of the dead man, could not be seen, when a representative of the Afro-American called on Tuesday. She had gone with the body of her husband, to Cambridge, for burial. Mrs. Louisa Lynn, a sister-in-law of the dead man, sold that Cooper came home on Thursday early in the afternoon, saying that he did not feel like working and wanted to take her Prominent Men and W Opening of $250,000 Anita, Patti Brown, Roland W. Hayes, Dr. W. Sampson Brooks and J. H. Murphy Among Those in Attendance St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 27—The Representative men and women are here from all parts of the country attending the opening of the new Poro College Building, which has been erected at a cost of two hundred fifty thousand dollars, and is one of the best business and manufacturing blocks in the city. It is modern in every particular. The opening, which will last through-out the week started Sunday morning with prayer service conducted by Prof. A. E. Malone, president, and Mrs. A. E. Malone, secretary treasurer. This was inspected Monday by the members of the Negro Business League of St. Louis, and at six o'clock the building was thrown open to the public. Exercises were held in the auditorium. Prof. F. L. Williams, principal of Summer High School, presided. Poro College Choral Club sang "America First and Forover," by Hegmes Zimmerman. The song and the singers were all members of the race. out in the car for a ride. Mrs. Cooper, who is a hair dresser, refused because she had several customers yet to serve. They learned later that Cooper went to the home of his sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Owens, 2033 McCulloh street, and asked her to take a ride with him. Mrs. Owens, likewise was engaged and could not go, but gave her brother his dinner and saw him to the front door. "Watch her go," he called back to her as he jumped in the car and started his motor. Mrs. Lynn said they heard no more from him until they were notified that his body was at the morgue. Neither of the dead women were Neither of the dead women were known to Mrs. Lynn. HAD $1000 IN HIS POCKETS Explaining why Cooper carried such a large sum in his pockets. Mary Lynn said that he had been told by his customers that money was not safe in Savings Banks and that the government would confiscate it if the government had need of it. Believing this he had always carried a large part of his savings with him so that is case of confiscation he would not lose everything. Cooper came to Baltimore from Cambridge about twenty-five years ago, and by strict attention to business had build up a paying enterprise in the Pennsylvania avenue shop. Pending the settlement of the estate thru the Orphan's Court, the authorities are holding the one thousand dollars. Coopers shop is closed. MYSTERY OF THE 4th OCCUPANT Although the records of the polite show that the woman who was dead and taken to the hospital with Cooper was Francis Hawkins 1079? West Lexington street, Alison's in the corner of Cooper's American denies thieves and adds that she knew nothing about the accident. At the morgue, local authorities are holding the body of an unidentified colored woman who figured as the other woman occupant along with Hattie Whiting. The authorities at the Morgue stated Wednesday morning that the unidentified body had been brought in with Cooper's and unless some claim was put in for it during the day, it would be buried in potter's field. The noted tenor Roland W. Hayes, was a feature of the opening and he won for himself new laurels. Congressman Newton delivered a short address declaring that in the future man would be measured by his worth and not by his color. DR. BROOKS SPEAKS Dr. W. Sampson Brooks, of Baltimore, delivered the principal address. He said that there were three kinds of people in the world, producers, distributors, and consumers. He said of necessity his race must become producers and thinkers. "They must be able to give the world something, and that is just what Mr. and Mrs. Malone and another man did for himself. He paid a high tribute to Captain George W. Brown, who had given in a collection in Bethel Church five hundred dollars MR. & MRS. MALONE BOTH SPOKE Tuesday night the musical attraction was Prof. George R. Garner of Chicago. The speakers were: Editor John H. Murphy, of the Afro-American, and Charles Stewart, of Chicago. Wednesday night Roscoe Conklin Simmons, nephew to Mrs. Booker T. Washington, spoke, and the musical feature was added by Ben Brant. Each night during the week a native theater was the head, nat.

C., Nov. 25.—No nobler challenge could come to real men than the task of building races, of making and moulding men while being true to God and to the nobler impulse" said Dr. J. Stanley Dureke, new president of Howard University at Vesper services last Sunday. His subject was "Changed Into." The capacity of Rankin Chapel has been so overaxed recently that it is said the University must build a new one if it would accommodate friends as well as student body. Alumni at their reunion at the Howard Lincoln football game expressed their feeling that large expansion is just good of Howard under leadership and that the university will soon take its rightful place among educational instruction of the nation. Corporal Percy B. Taylor, formerly of the 868 Infantry now 371 Infantry, wrote his parents that he had traveled much in France. He is well and in good spirits. He sends regards to all friends. Films of Colored Fighters to Be Released Soon New York, Nov. 27—Announcement is made that the Division of Films of the United States Committee on Public Information has made arrangements for the release of an inspiring patriotic moving picture "Our Colored Fighters" through the Downing Film Company, Astor Theatre Building, this city. By communicating with this corporation, colored patriotic organizations can secure this film and give the people of oversee to see it and country its opportunity to see it and in raising funds for the various war relief agencies that are conducting "drives" for the benefit of our boys at the front. "Our Colored Fighters" is a two-reel picture illustrating graphically the important part the Negro troops have taken in the World War. It pictorializes the enlistment and training of the colored soldiers in te cantonments and also shows them 'n action in some of the most thrilling combats overseas. MORE CHAPLAINS FOR ARMY SERVICE Washington, Nov. 28—Nine colored chaplains, graduates of the class of September-October at the Army Chaplains Training School, Camp Zachary Taylor, Louisville, Ky., have been appointed and assigned as follows: American Expeditionary Force (overseas service) Matthew W. Clair, Jr., and Lewis A. MeGee; John W. E Bowen, Jr., 150th Depot Brigade, Camp Taylor, Ky.; Frank W. Brown, 155th Depot Brigade Camp Lee, Va. A. Ellis A. Christian, 165th Depot Brigade, Camp Travis, Texas; Eugene M. Hamilton and Frederick D. L. McDonald, 11th Division, Camp Mende, Md.; A. Huntington Hatwood, Camp Taylor, Ky.; and Max Tyergen, Camp Lee, Va. These are included in the total of sixty colored chaplains announced as now in the service of the United States Army in this country and overseas. Abraham Lincoln Club Organized in Cuba Havanna, Cuba, Nov. 28—The colored people of this city have organized an "Abraham Lincoln Club," for war work. Ex-Sergeant John Thomas, formerly of the 16th United States Cavalry, now confidential messenger to President Mario G. Menocal, of the Republic of Cuba, is the founder of te organization. At Blanco 4, the club has handsome quarters, with a large audience room, palm garden on the roof, with a clear sweep for the breezes from the Gulf of Mexico, with fine dancing floor and provision for all kinds of recreation. Connected with the club is a ladies' auxiliary, an employment agency, physical culture department and classes, for instruction in Spanish and English, and a club hospital is in contemplation. President Menocal is chairman of the board of trustees and the membership is upward of 20. COLORED PORTERS ON TRAINS IN FRANCE Returned travellers from overseas say that the colored porter on railway trains in France is becoming almost as great a fixture as on the Pullman cars in this country. Such porters cannot make up berths and shine shoes any better than the French, but they can be relied upon to wake passengers up and put them off at their proper destination. TYLER MAKESTRIP TO BASE HOSPITAL TYLER MAKESTRIP TO BASE HOSPITAL Finds Number of Colored Offi Finds Number of Colored Officers There. Is Accorded Courteous Treatment by the General In Charge of Camp: Listens to Praise of Colored Troops, Who Work Well and Fight Like H-1. SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE—I have just returned from a five days' stay at an S. O. s. camp at which I met a number of colored officers who were there either as the result of wounds or awaiting, reclassification. This particular S. O. s. camp is a casualty camp also to which are sent all officers, white as well as colored, who are to be reclassified as the result of wounds or others. I met Majors Anthony Williams and Charles Hunt, of Illings; Captain C. L. Hill of Chicago; Lieutenants E. S. Gillard, Indianapolis; D. W. Anthony, St. Louis; Birney Cox, Columbus; D. E. Simelton, Chicago; Fred Porter, Waco; U. Gaines, Junction City, Kansas; Herndon White, Portland, Malpac; B. P. Rudd, Springfield, Ohio; R. C. Allen, Springfield, O. L. Lieutenant D. W. Johnson, surgeon of Columbus, Ohio, is permanently stationed here, attached to the medical corps. I have never, during my stay in France, been accorded such courteous and considerate treatment as I was accorded by General Rosenbaum, the commandant at this camp. He personally conducted me through the barracks on foot, and then accompanied me, in his automobile, on a tour of the grounds. He assured me, and I later confirmed it in conversation with the colored flocers, that there is absolutely no discrimination, because of color, tolerated at this camp, either in barracks, mess or other assignments. He spoke most highly of the colored officers and soldiers stationed at this camp, and said he was perfectly willing to be quoted as saying the colored men under him were splendid soldiers. He apparently took great pride, in telling of how quickly colored soldiers learned their duties and how punctual and precise they were in performing them. COLORED STEVEDEORES DOING "ESSENTIAL WORK" Somewhere in France—Figures just made available show that for the month of September there was handled at the American base ports in France 767,648 tons, or a daily average of 25,588 tons, an increase of nearly ten per cent over August. When it is considered that colored stevedores handled by far the largest per cent of this tonnage, some idea can be formed of the very important service colored stevedores are rendering the government here in France, and how necessary they are to the success of the Allies. The work of colored stevedores may be menial, and is laborious, but it is as essential as the manning of guns at the front. Fact is, without these stevedores first unloading and aiding in transporting the guns, munitions and supplies to the front, there would be no manning of guns at the front who sees the stevedores and keeps notes with rapidity and cheerfulness they work, and what a very important cog they are in Mar's machinery. The colored stevedore has greater endurance than the others and because of the absolute necessity of stevedores to aid the men at the front, the employment, or drafting, of so many colored stevedores becomes a compliment. COLORED SOLDIERS SAVING MONEY FOR "BANK" DAY While visiting in the Colored Y. M. C. A. huts over here, I was particular to make inquiry as to the provident incination of colored troops, and especially those in the service battalions. "I was gratified to learn that a most appreciable number of the men are saving up for a rainy day—taking care of their money. I was cognizant of the fact, before sailing for France, that there were many solitous members of our race back home who were wondering what the colored soldiers here were doing with their money, since the government supplied them with everything necessary. I learned that there are a considerable number who are sending their money back home; that a very considerable number are "sailing" their money away for proper use when the war is ended. I met one young man at Hut No. 1, who had a wife and child back in the states—in Arkansas. What the Y. W. C. A. is Doing for our Girls When I asked him if he was saving his money he replied: "Yes every son, I feel the need of more education." he said, "and it is a question with me whether to use my excess money to provide more and better education for myself, or mustte along with that I have and spend every penny I can." He will need the education more than I, and I cannot educate both him and myself." There are here, as at home, some who are improvident, but, from what I could learn, there are many—a surprising number—who will bring back with them, or who will have sent back home, every penny above what was absolutely necessary to spend over here. In five huts, it is站ted, 125,000 (48250) more frames were sent home than had been expended here. The freedom offered colored soldiers in France is a great inducement to extravagance, and especially to many whose freedom, in the way of privileges, had been more or less limited. Considering this, the number who are saving their money is most gratifying. PLEASANT CONDITIONS PREVAIL AT CAMP LEE Ten Thousand Colored Soldiers There. Two Colored Captains and Two Chaplains. Petersburg, Va., Nov. 27—Conditions at Camp Lee, Petersburg, Va., are quite satisfactory to the ten thousand colored soldiers now stationed here, according to a statement made by Rev. Arthur G. C. Randall, a representative of the X. M. C. A. work at that point. The 14th Infantry-replacement battalion at Camp Lee has four colored captains and there is also the 155th Depot Brigade, both of which are readering excellent service. Officers and men are treated with uniform courtesy and respect by their commanders. There are two colored chaplains, Max Yergen and J. H. Brown, spiritual leaders of broad sympathies, and they exert a most wholesome influence upon the soldiers. At commodious Hostess House is in process of erection and will fill a long felt want. In Petersburg, the War Camp Community Service has established a fully-equipped soldiers' club with all modern improvements, including audience room, library, pool and billiard tables, shower baths, and provision for every kind of social recreation. This work is directed by James Sanders, assisted by Mr. McCorkle, a graduate of Hainton. The Y. W. C. A. has a like centre for women, conveniently located on a prominent thoroughfare, where soldiers are made to feel at home. Jackson is head woman I. M. Waddy, a musical assistant in the W. Camp Community Service activities among the colored people of the South, is very culpful in planning programs, and the musical exercises arranged by him are enjoyed as much by the white citizens as by the colored soldiers from Camp Lee, for whom they are primarily arranged. The Y. M. C. A. is a lovely centre and Secretary Randall is always "on the job." 325 Y SECRETARIES AT WORK Washington, Nov. 27—It is stated that there are now 325 Y. M. C. A. secretaries engaged in work among the colored troops in this country and overseas, laboring under the supervision of Dr. J. E. Moorland, International Secretary and in charge of the colored division of the Y. M. C. A. war work, conducted through the National War Work Council of the Y. M. C. A. of the United States, with headquarters at 347 Madison avenue, New York City. THIS TUESDAY CASE JUMPS AHEAD OF 22 OTHERS IN COURT OF APPEALS Annapolis, Md. Nov. 25—The appeal in the case of John Snowden, convicted of the murder of Lottie Brandon, last August, has been definitely set for December 3rd. Assistant District Attorney General Marry Murray threw the case in court today and counsel for Snowden concurred. The Court of Appeals reached case number 66 last Tuesday and in due course of its program would have reached case number 95. Snowden's original number, some time after the Christmas holidays. Since Baltimoreans had advanced the money for the printing of the record and there was no longer any need for delay, permission was asked and granted to move the case up to the earlier date. Since it was widely published in the African-American and civil a spiritual advisor, and that the sheriff had been unnecessarily rough in his treatment of the prisoner, things have taken a turn for the better. Rev. J. A. Briscoe, pastor of Mt. Morisha M. A. E. Church, was approached by States Attorney Green recently and asked to make regular visits to Snowden as his confidential advisor. Attorney Green does not want complaints from Snowden to come up at the wrist. The record in the case has been printed, contains the points of appeal and the exceptions made. It is bound in two volumes for convenience in handling and consists of 240 pages. In the record 66 exceptions are made to the admission of and the exclusion of evidence. Lawyer Brady counsel to Snowden, relies on 17 of them and ignores the remainder. MRS. WILLIAMS NOT ALLOWED TO TESTIFY. The facts of the case relating to the death of Mrs. Brandon and the evidence of the State are fully discussed in the brief of the attorneys for Snowden and exceptions 46, 47 and 49 are based on the refusal of the court to allow Mrs. Williams, wife of Rev. E. S. Williams, who lived next door to testify to the noises and talking next door in the Brandon home. She would have testified that she heard noises the night before the body of Mrs. Brandon was found as if some one was being thrown against the wall. Exception was taken to the ruling of the court in exception 34, which refused to allow Mrs. Rachel Stewart. CAPT. TRIGG NOW ON STAFF Captain Joseph E. Trigg, who has made an enviable record with the 368th Infantry, Somewhere in France formerly in command of Company A has been transferred to the staff and placed in charge of munitions. Capt. Trigg took an active and creditible part in the reduction of the St. Michel salient, one of the decisive battles of the war. ASSOCIATION CONGRATULATES NORTH CAROLINA GOVERNOR New York, Nov. 18—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has sent a telegram to the mayor of Winston-Salem, N. C., and Governor Bickett, congratulating them on their efforts in combating attempts of a mob to lynch a colored prisoner at Winston-Salem on the night of November 17th. PRICE 5 CENTS TUESDAY HEAD OF 22 URT OF APPEALS Confident. State Has nowden Reported better Treatment. on the Job a witness for the defense, to testify to the complaints made to her -so Mrs. Brandon about her physical ailments and how she felt at times. The defense claims that the nature of the case proved by the State was such that it was not impossible that Mrs. Brandon died of convulsions. Exception 14 relates to the testimony of Dr. Carr, who made an autopsy of the body. He testified that she found a good deal of dirt under three dingermals of her hands and also piments of skin and testified as to these parts of a human being. The defense claims that under the circumstances of the case, Dr. Carr should not have been allowed to have gone by the point of saying that the stuff as found was that of her. MORE DECISION TWO WEEKS BEFORE DECISION The preliminary question for the Court of Appeals to decide will be on the motion of the State that the record was not filed within ninety days as required by the rules of the Court of Appeals and should be dismissed. The defense makes its re- ply to this in the fact that the record was delayed by the illness of the presiding judge, Owen Dineau, drawn over the county. If the Court of Appeals entertains the motion of the State on the motion of the State to dismiss, there will be no argument on the law points involved in the appeal; otherwise the case will be heard on its merits at once. It will probably consume a full day in the arguments of the points involved. The lawyers for Snowden will open the case, the attorneys for the State will reply, and Snowden's counsel will close the argument. It will then be probably a week or two, or more, before the Court hands down its opinion in the case. NEW ATTORNEYS FOR STATE State's Attorney Green has George Hartman, Albert Richie and Ogle Mar- bury as aides when the case comes up and the addition of two new lawyers aroused considerable comment in Annapolis. It is known that Green is moving heaven and earth to convict Snowden and it looks as though he feels afraid that he won't succeed and has called in help. Lawyer Brady, for Snowden, said to Captain George W. Brown, of Baltimore on Wednesday, that there was no cause for alarm and that he had things in good shape for the trial. He added that he expects Snowden to be granted the new trial asked for. COLORED WEEKLY NOW IN ENGLAND London, England, Nov. 19—As an illustration of the international interest that the Negro's participation in the war is attracting, a number of striking comments have been made on the war work of the American Negro by "West Africa," an admirably gotten-up weekly newspaper published here, and capably edited by Albert Cartwright. This is the only British weekly devoted exclusively to the Allies countries in West Africa, the majority of whose people are Africans. Mr. Cartwright, himself a native African, expresses a desire for all possible information as to what the "African-descended people of the United States" are doing for the common cause. TO BE OBSERVED Beginning, December 1st, and lasting until the 7th, the United States Administration is planning a Conservation Campaign. The preliminary statement reads: "For some time yet we snail have neutrals, allies and our own soldiers to supply with food through the result of saving on the part of the American people and, in addition, we may even sh_ re with our conquered foe." Ernest T. Atwell, head of the Colored Section, plans reaching the people through Conversation Sunday, December 1st, as well as through schools, lodges, clubs and societies. For Friday, December 6th, special programs are being arranged in all the city schools. IT DOES NOT PAY TO LIE IN COURT James E. Brown, 1411 Jefferson street, found this out to his sorrow when he faced his wife, Ida, in suit for alimony before Judge Duffy Friday morning. Brown, who drives a wagon for the Gardinary Dairy Company, told the Judge that he earned $15 a week and could not possibly give Mrs. Brown more than $3 towards the support of her two children. On telephoning the Gardiner company, Judge Duffy learned that Brown was earning $13 a week, and sometimes increased this amount by extra work, to $20 a week. Following this disclosure, the Judge signed a decree not only ordering him to pay a alimony of $8 a week, but was on the verge of sending him to jail for perjury. Soldier Steals $10 From Small Boy on Eutaw St. The soldier who snatched a ten dollar bill from a small boy in front of the Afro-American office Saturday of last week, got more than he was looking for. The youngster was small in size but he could run exceedingly fast and he was soon close on the trail of the fleeing man in uniform that he had to drop the bill and seek safety in a house in dasper street. The boy had been given the bill by his mother and sent out to find change. His cries of "stop thief" in a shrill boyish voice brought born police and civilians to his aid. The police searched several houses in the street but did not come up with the culprit. BALTIMORE "BULLS" USE CLUBS FREELY That local police in making arrests do not handle their prisoners gently was brought out in the Criminal Court before Judge Stunton last Monday. James Golden, a private at Camp Holabird, testified that after his arrest and during his ride to the police station in company with three officers, he was beaten over the head with a club or some other rough instrument by one of them while the others encouraged him saying "give the n--- hell." The case grew out of a small riot at the corner of Caroline and Fayette street two weeks ago when a number of soldiers got into a fractus with police officers about crowding to get aboard a street car. The melee grew to serious proportions and one or the white police sergeants had his leg cut requiring eleven situtions, and was severely cut about the waist. Golden was arrested as the man who had done the cutting. He avowed his innocence, and brought up a number of his fellow soldiers from camp to testify to the fact that he never owned a knife and had never been in trouble before in his life. NOT ALL NICKEL A dance last Friday night given by the Girl's Service Club, Miss Edna Browne, chairman, at the War Camp Community Club on Orchard street, netted 335 packages of cigarettes, 35 packages of tobacco and numerous cigars. Admission of 15 cents and a package of tobacco was charged, and when all-proceeds were added it was found that the club had a half-barrel of tobacco for the soldiers. MARRIED Mr. Avon N. Thomas of the U. S. Navy and Miss Mary A. Warren of G2 Lincoln street, West Medford, Mass. were quietly married November 1st, 1918 and left immediately for Baltimore to pay a short visit to Mr. Thomas's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Freeland, 417 W.

A. to get up with a number of bogus collectors who have been fleeing Baltimore of their money by alleging that they represented the Y. M. C. A., culminated last Tuesday when the Association had a warrant sworn out for the arrest of a man who is to reside on Schroeder street. Smart detective work on the part of the Association management uncovered the activities of the thieves last week when an unknown man walked into the Association office and turned in an unauthorized collector's book with the following letter pasted in the back: "To whom it may concern: "The beaver is receiving subscriptions for the new Y. M. C. A. building for colored boys. "Your subscription will be greatly appreciated by the Association and your name will be recorded in the new building. Please help to push this drive over the top." No name was signed to the letter, nor was the paper used the official "Y" stationery. The book contained names of a dozen or more persons who had signed for a total of something over six dollars. The person who turned the book into the "Y" office was acting in good faith but it is thought that a number of bogus workers have been started out and they were to turn any money collected by them over to the men who are at the head of the robbery. The game was given away when the collector told Secretary Booker that he could not attend the meeting Sunday and so stopped in to turn the book over to him.

J. H. Murphy, Manager. THE PRESIDENT'S "CONSIDERATION" Speaking in the interest of the United War Work Campaign in Princeton, N. J., Mr. T. Thomas Fortune, veteran newspaper editor, remarked that President Woodrow Wilson has given the Afro-American people a larger measure of consideration in the civil and military life of the nation since the beginning of the war than all Presidents before him gave them, from Rutherford Hayes to Wm. H. Taft. Mr. Fortune was exaggerating a little bit because he happened to be in the home town of the President. A good many strong Democrats (colored men) have had to pick up a magnifying glass to find the "consideration" that Mr. Fortune speaks of. If Mr. Wilson has acceded to any of the demands of the colored people during his administration, it was not because he, himself, took the initiative or accepted the advice of his friends who are Democrats, but because he was forced to it by the insistent demands of the colored people themselves. The commissioning of one thousand colored officers took place rather in spite of Mr. Wilson than by his direct interference. The policy of the Administration is now, and always has been against creating any colored officers. The proclamation against lynching by President Wilson was, at most, a half-hearted affair and so ill-timed that it was published six months after two of the most disgraceful outbreaks in Southern cities that the country has ever witnessed. President Wilson did not have any consideration for colored people in doing these things, for if there had been any of his own initiative in the matter, the Navy would have been opened up for the promotion of colored men low in the ranks; but his heart is not in the matter and he acted because compelled to by sheer force of circumstances. All of Mr. Wilson's acts have been governed by the one desideratum, namely: to win the war. He couldn't have won it as well without colored officers and without the proclamation against lynching as he did. The consideration of the colored people has nothing to do with it. NEVER TO LATE FOR HELP Federated C harities, McCoy Hall. "In a little side street in Northeast Baltimore, a young woman and five little children are facing not only a cheerless Thanksgiving but a winter of misery and deprivation unless you and other more fortunate folks can help them. The family is only one of many in which high wages and good industrial conditions can not prevent poverty or the direct sort. "The husband and father of this family—a man who always earned a fair living for his family and was devoted to his home—is insane. He has been examined by leading experts and has been treated in institutions since last Spring. The few savings have been exhausted. The mother and the children—girls of 9, 3 and 1, and boys of 6 and 4—are penniless. The children are so small that they demand practically all of the mother's time so she can't be a breadwinner. Consequently there is no income. "And yet these children must live and have food and a home. We believe the best home is with their mother and so we have nohesitancy in asking for a special fund to provide the items or the weekly budget given below for the next six months. Designate if you wish, 10r which item you prefer to have it used. I shall respect your wishes and later on a report will be sent you showing how these needy ones you have helped are getting along. In their names, let me wisen you Thanksgiving gladness." The above letter came to the Afro-American too late to place it before our readers Thanksgiving morning. Yet the need is just as serious today as it was yesterday. Every year the Federated Charities sends the readers of the Afro-American the names and the address of needy colored families in the city in order that more the fortunate may have the gladness and the privilege of helping those who need it. Here are the weekly expenses of this family as detailed by the Federated Charities: We know of several comfortably situated persons in the city who would be only too glad to contribute to the welfare of this stricken home. On the other hand, we have felt that the pleasure gotten by helping others ought never be restricted to any class or number. Checks should be made payable to the Federated Charities, and sent, together with this editorial to them. The Cleveland Gazette reminds the Afro-American that in 1894 and 1896, Ohio had three colored men in the lower house of the State Legislature, and in addition they were elected by a majority of white constituents. The situation in West Virginia at present where three colored men have been sent to the legislature is no nw thing in the political world. West Virginia is not ahead of Ohio, but she is ahead of a good many other states. The appointment of Mrs. Helen Irvin, of Washington as assistant in the office of the Director of the Bureau of Economics calls to mind that not many years ago Mrs. Irvin was head of the Domestic Science Department of the Colored High School. She is one of the teachers in that institution who was forced to accept a position elsewhere because Baltimore did not pay her a living wage. Since taking position in the Washington Normal School her promotion has been rapid, and it is said that she passed a recent examination ahead of two other men and was appointed to the high salary of $2200 per year. There is no discrimination against women in Washington schools so that Mrs. Irvin got the promotion and salary she earned, although she competed with men. There is no discrimination as to salaries in Washington schools either so that Mrs. Irvin gets as much as the white head of department doing the same work. On the heels of her rapid rise comes the announcement this week that the Department of Labor has slected her from among a good many teachers and asked her to put her services at their disposal. Is it any wonder that high class teachers will not stay in our Colored High School, where there is both discrimination because of sex and because of race. The people want in this city a high school second to none in the country, but can they get it under present conditions. NINE INDICTMENTS, OR ONLY ONE? As President Wilson's personal spokesman in a hundred articles to the newspapers of the country, David Lawrence, the newspaper writer, has attracted country-wide attention. Yet nothing he has written in the time of the President's stay in the White House so startled America as his indictment of the President on nine counts last Monday. The election of a Republican congress showed clearly that the country was turning from President Wilson, and the indictment by Mr. Lawrence coming on the back of this shows clearly that the party Democratic is aware of the weakening of his hold on former supporters. One of the nine counts that is especially interesting is the following numbered the fifth in Mr. Lawrence's article: "That continued Southern domination will kill the chance to gain the confidence of the Western Democrats." And this, the eighth: "He is attempting to manage the government in a personal and private way which does not square with his professions of democracy." Of the whole nine these two have been the complaint of colored people. Mr. Wilson has not kept his promises, his professions to colored voters. And he has not kept them largely because he insisted on surrounding himself with a clique of Negro-hating Southerners. All of the mistakes that the President has made after all come back to the fundamental one—allowing himself to be dominated by the South. This was his first and worst mistake and all others proceeded from this. And this, the eighth: "He is attempting to man sonal and private way which de- sions of democracy." Of the whole nine these two colored people. Mr. Wilson h professions to colored voters. largely because he insisted on clique of Negro-hating Southern All of the mistakes that tha come back to the fundamental dominated by the South.

The Forum More About Discrimination In The Local Schools The vigorous protest made in last week's Afro-American against the adoption of a salary schedule for high school teachers which grossly discriminates against instructors in the Colored High School brings to mind the fact that leading colored citizens held a meeting in the old Douglass Institute on Thursday, November 24, 1868, at which big indignation was voiced against the limiting of education of colored children to the primary grades. Douglas Institute, named for Frederick Douglass, was a great rallying place for the colored people of the generation immediately preceding and following the Civil War. The manly spirit manifested there in the interest of the race would be should be a stimulus to the better educated and better-environmented men and women of the race today. The present comparative advance of the colored schools today from the day of their establishment is largely due to the insistent efforts of such men as the late Isaac Myers, the late Causman Gaines, the late Bishop Wayman, the late Hiram Watty, John H. Murphy, Dr. Henry J. Brown, Rev. Dr. W. M. Alexander, Rev. Dr. Harvey, Johnson and others. For a number of years colored young men and women could only receive education one grade beyond that of the eighth. The Colored High School was established as a part of the old grammar school in 1886. Its first class was established in 1889. The old colored Polytechnic Institute was established in 1892. Five years later the Colored High School was separated from the old grammar school in 1897, and the white teachers there paid the same salaries as those of the two female high schools for whites. The circumstances of the three high schools were practically the same. The new school board appointed by Mayor Hayes established a new course of study for all high schools. With the consolidation of the colored High School and the Colored Polytechnic Institute in 1901 and the installation of a colored faculty there in progress began, though the Polytechnic part of the course was curtailed, somewhat. The high type of men on the School Board gave Dr. J. H. N. Waring, the immediate predecessor of the present head—Prof. Mason A. Hawkins—every support. A change came however, when Hon. James H. Preston was elected Mayor, and it became more difficult to retain capable teachers. Other cities offering them tytl, as much as paid here. This situation has existed ever since the school has a colored faculty, however. The principal of the Colored High School is paid a salary of $600 a year less than those of the white schools, and the same situation exists with respect to the principalships of the Leader of Famous Carlisle Indian School Band Whichi Toured France in 1900 now Brings the Real American "Jazz" as it Should Be Played, Over Here, With His 808th Pioneer Infantry When they left Camp Meade the watchword was "Over There" and as the band of the Dashing 808th Pioneer Infantry played that tuneful strain upon leaving the good old U. S. A. they gave courage and cheer to the three thousand boys in line and filled the hearts of wives, sweethearts, mothers and friends with that kind of spirit that wins wars—an unbreakable faith. But I am to tell you of these boys "Over Hero" who I am to get my story from the spontaneous expression of boys who just needed a strait of one good old 'rag' or qualitb ballad to spur them on to the next town, or a beautiful symphony to full them off to sleep as they lay in on their eots. This band of colored musicians has indeed uphold the tradition of its race for their music is one of the factors that makes the name of the 808th Pioneer Infantry a byword of the front. To begin with they are right at the front being only a few kilos behind the line and although in danger of attracting the attention of hostile forces yet they realize that the spirit of the boys must be kept cheerful and refreshed. So, often, they assemble in a well protected spot beside the road and play for the incessant line of khaki as it moves along the road toward the enemy. And how those boys enjoy this music only they can tell but from the quickest step, the straightened shoulders and the accordant whistling and singing one can really feel the refreshing and satisfying results of the band. When they stop playing, however, there is no question as to the appreciation of the music for from hundreds of threats comes the cry "Carry On." There is small wonder though that these boys have developed into such a well balanced band for when one meets the "Chief," as he is familiarly known among his fellow officers, the reason is easily explained. With a natural talent for music the "Chief" combines years of training as a band master and a leader. It was his Riff Wheelock, now a member of the 11-American Guard in 1898, who brought to the Carlisle Indian School athletic prowess which struck terrors in the hearts of the followers of the pigskin in the cast. I must not fall, however, to give due credit to the boys under his instruction. Naturally gifted as musicians and with a love for it which is immeasurable, these colored boys have developed into a respected organization. They have unhesitatingly given their services where they might cheer some homestick boy or cause the pain of those suffering from the result of battle. On many occasions they have chanced the catching of trucks and have gone miles to play in hospitals and rest camps where they have afforded comfort to the boys and have brought to our nurses some little respite from the constant cry of pain. These boys have developed other features which bid fair to permit them always to retain a warm spot in the hearts of the boys of the A. E. F. Could you but hear Terry and Blossom pull off their stunt entitled "Sick Call in the Army" in that dismantled stable which the fellows have the nerve to call a theatre, or could you hear the melodious string quartet or beautiful saxophone soto accompanied by the sweet voices of the band you would do as hundreds of boys do who crowd that place every Monday—jump to your feet—crying "Carry On." Let us thank these boys and Lieutenant Weelock for their unselfish spirit in the name of the entire First Army, A. E. F. MAURICE C. CLIFFORD, Reg. St. Major, 808 Pioneer Inf.

He asks his mother to pray for him. white and colored training schools for teachers. The writer is entirely familiar with the consistent fight that the Afro-American has ever waged for good schools and adequate salaries, and calls attention to the fact that the discrimination not only does not savor of the so-called spirit of democracy now said to be pervading the world, but further discriminates in what the white, women, teachers in the high schools, receive less than men doing the same work. Let the work of fighting the discrimination go on, but launch anew a movement for a modern high school building equipped with all the facilities offered in local secondary schools for F. F. JOHNSON.

DOING GOOD WORK Has Had One of the Most Progressive Years i nits The Baltimore Educational Association during the past year has had one of the most promising years of its existence. The progra mof the year compared favorably with any of the previous years. The activities of the year began by entertaining the teachers of the county schools of the State, which closed the seeming gap that had apparently existed between the city and State teachers. Now all consider themselves as members of the same family. The address by Dr. Buchner, of John Hopkins who presented a scheme for the increased education of knowledge of the subject, was the conferring of degrees, by William H. Malbite, who explained the Allied Council of Associated Teachers in the demand for increased salaries; by Dr. C. M. Tanner, of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, Washington and Bishop J. Albert Johnson, were rare literary treats. The president presented many phases of work which should receive the consideration of the members and urged the adoption of the same. The details for the formation of a Beneficial Organization to assist the teachers who might become seriously indisposed were completed and now the organization awaits incorporation under the State laws. After many conferences with Dr. Buchner, plans were approved by the Board of Superintendents which will enable the teachers to continue courses of study that will be rewarded the conferring of degrees. The plan awards the approval of the association. The president urged the association to become a member of the Allied Council and their would be in a position to comment the discriminatory phases of probability will exist in the schedule of salaries, but the Association felt it was contrary to their professional quillette to handle salaries in such a manner. Such an action would have raised the estimation of the Association in the mind of most teachers. Energic action was taken to cause the Association to change its attitude by the presence of Mr. Mathebe, but as yet the favorable action has been taken. It was the plan of the administration to do everything that would mean increased education, promotion for the members. This would in the end cause an increase of salary would be a living wage as well as to provide means whereby those in the service would be benefited while sick. This was the first time in the history of the Association has each official presented the body a written report. The efforts, energies and plans of the present administration demand sincere consideration. Beginning with the session Thursday night at John Wesley M. E. Church, and continuing Friday, the Maryland State Colored Teachers Association comes together in the city for its annual session. In view of the large amount of work done during the year towards getting longer terms for county schools and better pay for teachers, the present sessions have a larger significance than ever before. Some of the former educators in the county are addressed to the school meetings at Sharp Street Memorial Church, James H. Dillard, president of the J. F. Sater Fund; Roscoe C. Bruce, assistant superintendent of Washington schools; M. Eates Stephens, State Superintendent of Public Information; Charles Koch, superintendent of city schools and J. W. Hullington.

Interest in the Afro-American Christmas Contest for its newsboys and girls showed itself in the distribution of coupons for extra copies last week. The prospect of a pair of the latest model ball bearing roller skates to the youngster between six and sixteen, who gets the largest number of coupons between now and Christmas is urging the newsboys to put their best foot forward. All the interest is not confined to the younger folks, however, but the older agents see in the coupons an offer to make a little Christmas cash, and they too are asking for coupons when they come into the office for their papers. So far Edward Wilson is in the lead for the skates with 181 coupons; close on his heels are Lloyd Butler and Earl Mitchell. Of the girls Allegra Mussenden and Nellie Johnson are away ahead of the others. Among the adult agents ... Chase is making a runaway race of it so far. Louis Friskey who gets away with 1200 papers or more every week and Isaac Bannister who sells 1500 to 1700 per week during the winter months have not pulled down many coupons as yet and of course unless they pull up during the remaining weeks before Christmas will not get any of the Christmas Mazuma. The names of newsies and agents so far registered, in the contest, and the number of coupons they have so far received is as follows: Six to Sixteen—Roller Skates as prize for largest number: GIRLS Nellie Johnson ..... 57 Elvira Mullery ..... 18 Allegra Mussenden ..... 72 Madeline Garrison ..... 80 BOYS Lloyd Butler ..... 175 John Gwynn ..... 5 George Hawkins ..... 17 Gregory Hawkins ..... 5 James Jackson ..... 19 Earl Mitchell ..... 152 Avon Robinson ..... 25 Edward Williams ..... 7 Edward Wilson ..... 151 Solomon Towers ..... 5 **ADULT AGENTS** John Chase ..... 457 Louis Friely ..... 71 Eugene Cooper ..... 25 W.

Sloans Limited Kills Pain "If He's Good Enough To Shoot The Hun, He's Good Enough To Mark a Ballot." Before a large and enthusiastic audience at the Eonon Baptist Church, Pete Heuer of Dutch Street, last Monday night, Judge William Harrison, member of the bar in the State of Oklahoma, took issue with the statement of President Wilson after the signing of the armistice, to the effect that "We have gotten all we have fought for. It is finished." Judge Harrison spoke of chaotic conditions in Russia and Germany due to the revolution, and of the devastation of France, Italy and Britain caused by the Balkans and the Huns. Even after mutants are on a more stable footing in these countries, it will not be finished then, said Judge Harrison. "The shades of the dead black men who have fallen in France will appear as ghosts to haunt the ambassadors at the peace table unless the German Colonies in Africa are given their freedom," continued the Judge, and added that it would only be finished when the colored men in America were freed from their charges. He described his audience when he said that the man who had been good enough to pull the tripper of a machine gun in a long campaign against the Huns ought to be good enough to mark a ballot in South Carolina. COLLOLED WOMEN TO VOTE Striking a very dramatic pose, the judge declared that colored soldiers in France had not been discriminated against when it came to going into the front line trenches, which they had held side by side in the war. It would be said he said, "We returned boys can ride in a first class coach in America when they pay first-class fare." The large audience cheered this salty from the Judge, who scored again heavily in a few moments, when he said that "it won't be finally finished until the colored women together with all other women in the land are given the right to exercise the ballot." I don't think." Judge Harrison concluded, "that President Wilson measured the length and breadth of his terms." Miss Lula Richardson acted as mistress of ceremonies and several prominent citizens made short speeches. COUNTY TEACHERS' The Colored Teachers' Association of Howard County met at Elliott City School, Saturday, November 23, with Mrs. A. B.

Grandma By Margaret Belle Houston of The Vigilantes On friendly days of flowers and sun It always used to be, I wondered if they shone on him, Far off in Picardy. And when it rained I closed my eyes And knitted no—alas. I could not watch the cold rain fall Amid the silent grass. I said, "Dear Lord, if he comes home All whole and well and strong, I can but hold him fast and sit Beside him all day long." Yet, Laddy, when you really came I laughed and wiped my eye. And aired your room and brushed your coat TELL YOUR CHILD THINGS IT SHOULD KNOW Answer Thoroughly Child's Question About Birth—Do it Before Someone Else Does it in a Harmful Manner. By Margaret Warner Morley (Author of "Renewal of Life.) Some day your child will ask where he came from, or where the new baby came from. In properly answering this natural question the mother has a chance to impress forever upon the young mind a clean and wholesome knowledge of one of the most important facts of nature. Let the mother serve for two things; to start the child with a beautiful and reverent feeling concerning the origin of life; to give this knowledge before the child can learn it in a harmful way outside the home. It is well to anticipate the direct question by getting ready before the child is old enough to ask it. How to do this? Begin, perhaps, with seeds. Show the seed-pods of any plant. The seeds are the children of the plant. The plant gives them protection and feeds them with its juices. They are part of the plant. The plant is the mother of the seeds. When the seeds are ripe the pod opens and the seeds leave their mother to live their own separate lives. Dwell upon the care the mother plant takes of her little seed-children, of the beautiful flower-petals she wraps about the tiny pod. Speak often and reverently of motherhood. Make the little boy as well as the little girl understand and love the mother. In the springtime show birds' nests if possible. If not, show pictures and talk about the building and how both parents engage in it. Then show or tell about the eggs. Explain how the eggs grow inside the mother-bird. They are a part of her just as the seeds are a part of the plant. When the eggs are ready the bird lays them in the pretty nest and sits on them to keep them warm. The father-bird sings to her and feeds her. Both birds love the baby-birds and as soon as they hatch out, father-bird and mother-bird feed them and care for them and teach them to fly. A hen sitting on her eggs can be used to teach the lesson. The egg grew in the hen. How wonderful it is that a little egg can change into a beautiful bird or a cunning little chicken? As the child grows older lead him to notice that the seed grows into a plant just like the parent, that the egg becomes a bird like the parents. Tell the child how important it is for children to come from good parents. Speak of parents and children when talking of plants and birds: this will cause the child unconsciously to connect the ideas gained about plants and birds with human life. When a chance comes to show the child young kittens or puppies or rabbits, or the young of any animal tell him quite frankly, whether he asks or not that of course the young ones came from the mother that they were born they were a part of the child. Make it all seem natural to the child. Dwell upon the love and care the mother everywhere bestows upon her children. Include father-love wherever it is expressed in the lower life. Each mother will think of a way to tell the story, according to circumstances. Only remember two things. Tell the story, properly before anybody gets ahead of you and poisons the child's mind. And tell it in a way to make the child reverence and love parent-hood. The mother can make her child who is him to make her impressing right ideas and high ideals upon him when he is very young. Help to reach all the parents in the country by cutting this out and passing it on to a friend. The Gift Pretty soon the gift season will be here. And while it is the patriotic duty of every one of us to cut down the giving as much as possible, still there are those too dear to be struck off the gift list entirely. No matter how small the gift there is no one more deserving of a dainty hand-made gift than they. Maybe it is going to be a dainty set of table mat covers, a large amount of a basket in a dainty crocheted edge. A set can be made in an evening to the one who knows how to crochet. Then there is the exquisite bit of underwear. It can be made of chiffon or any pretty bit of crepe that your scrap-basket will yield and when decorated with a dainty bit of watercolor and silk floss you will have a gift to be proud of. Forget-me-nots, dalies, poppies, tulips, roses and odd geometrical designs are all good looking when done. After you have stenciled or painted your design on, take to your floss and outline a tone or two deeper than the design the edge of your design and be sure to emphasize the center by adding a few French knots. A little bit of judgment added to a little more common-sense will give you a piece of work that you will be so proud of that you will go in for something more elaborate. Then there is the use of oilcloth for dainty gifts. Table-linen is becoming so seares that it is quite fashionable to use oilcloth or any of the new compositions which go under that name in place of linen. It is being used for cardtables the corners being decorated with a bit of stenelling, and pieces of tape attached to each corner to tie it to the legs. The other side of it the other day, one large dolly and six small ones priced at five dollars and the same could be made at home for one dollar to the person-handy with the stencil outfit. The one in question had a dainty design of wild roses and the edges were pinked and outlined with a band of light green paint. An outfit for the baby's bib and tray would be a dainty gift. Then the advantage of such a cover can be appreciated by the mother, as another, as easy to wipe off the covers with a damp cloth, and it lasts a long time which is also another advantage in these war times.

Former Baltimore Teacher I Made Assistant Director of Economic Work Camp Dix, Wrightstown, N. J., Nov. 26—A riot of joy in some of the colored organizations of Camp Dix today at the prospect of remaining in camp until after Thanksgiving. The thou of missing a big turkey dinney was a dark cloud on the horizon.

The United States Department of Labor announces the appointment of Mrs. Helen Irvin as special assistant to the Director, Miss Mary Van Kleeck of the Woman in Industry Service, on economic problems of Negro women wage-earners. The services of Mrs. Irvin have been secured by grant of leave of absence for several months, by the District Board of Education, to do some special work in making policies and plans and assisting in developing the labor program of the Department so far as it relates to Negro wage-earners. She is to be associated with Dr. George E. Haynes, Director of Negro Economics, who is the advisor to the Secretary of Labor on matters manifestly or directly affecting Negro wage-earners.

There are about a thousand colored troops left, and they will speedily be mustered out in order to make room for the men of the 551st Field Artillery, the 808th Regiments, now overseas.

As a white man it was natural for me to go to white doctors. And I went to the best in Baltimore. One said one thing and another said something else about my illness. I tried the hospitals. They did me no good, and I grew worse and he had recommended me to try Dr. David N. E. Campbell, the Lung and Nerve Specialist, 1369 North Carey street. At first I hesitated, but I finally went to him. After examining me he laughed and said he was sorry for me. He told me things about my complaint no other physician had ever touched upon. He has treated me well, and he man out of me. I am now a street car conductor. Since then, he has cured my friend, four-year-old son, Harry who had convulsions, and could scarcely stand or walk. The child now has no more spasms and is running about. The carons are thin. Thick. The carons is one out of hundreds. He has done me wonders, and I am not afraid to tell it.
