C., Dec. 1.—The United States Senate established a president last week by rejecting Harding's nomination of Mary Lincoln Johnson for Reader of Deeds. Ever before has either party in lieu of reefered to confirm a presidential nominee because of object of the party out of power, so-called "Semorialist" Counsel under which a senator may that a nominee is personally responsible to him and have the vote throw out the nomination, coding out "Truce's Precedents" only if a nominee in a Senator's home city, selecting Mr. Johnson, Tom Sisson, Senator, speaking of the executive session "trial before the Senate certified copies of the court record ofillon County, Georgia, showcasing that he had been convicted of the charge of embezzling one of a client, which he did not until just daily." In the AFRO-AMERICAN," the senator continued, "a colored publication of Baltimore, Johnson made a personal attack upon me, saying that he hated me so badly that he would rather go to hell in heaven if I should go to later place when I die." When asked about Watson's statement, Mr. Johnson told a representative of the AFRO-AMERICAN," It is an unmitigated libel, not only never been con- no indicted. Watson got Dr. Johnson to trump up a little free against me down in Atlantic week, and the Grand Jury saw it out and assessed upon the damages." Mr. Johnson says he is feeling more than he has felt in the past years, that he is not troubled, worried, and unfraid. For many years he has worked for party without receiving extras, and he feels that it is up the Republican party now to a way to reward him. Georgia Democrats are said to serve at Mr. Johnson because he used a number of lynchings, intimidations of colored men before a Semiorial Committeeman. No matter what happens, Mr. Johnson will not resign his positions National Committeeman of Georgia. THE AFRO AMERICAN HE LOST $14,500 DOUGLASS AMUSEMENT CORPORATION L. E.

Parks, a Jamaican newspaper writer who recently spent his work in New York and spent his impressions in the Times of this place. He says:—On my recent holiday in America, I took care to observe the conditions under which the Negro worked. They all lived in what is called the Negro Quarter which is Upper Harlem, in the top portion of the Borough of Manhattan, extending from 125th St., to 146th St. with Lennox Hill, 146th St. and the wharf.

M. Wilson, wealthy farmer of Prince George County. "I was beyond even trying to move. My weary months, I lay in bed, hopelessly crippled with rheumatism." says Mr. P. M. Wilson, wealthy farmer of Prince George County. "I was beyond even trying to move. My limbs were swollen shapeless and as stiff as iron bars. The muscles of my limbs drew into knots, leathly hands, and closed in a death-like grip. I was practically paralyzed and lay for days, half conscious. This terrible suffering left me hopelessly crippled and the doctors said I would be crippled the rest of my life." "It may seem peculiar for me to say that I found my health in a waste basket, but opportunity comes to us in many strange forms and places. One day our washer-woman (Kate Nichols) brought the clothes home in a basket covered with paper. My wife removed the paper and threw it in the waste basket. Later I looked through the reeds of the basket and saw the word "Afro", and thought it was something about Africa; picking up the paper I noticed it was the AFRO-AMERICAN newspaper. While reading it I noticed the doctors' and druggists' testimonials on Herbs Of Life. I knew if the doctors and druggists said Herbs Of Life was the best medicine in the world, it was all right. So I wrote to the Laurens Pharmacy, 1800 Penna. Ave., and got three bottles. Up to the present time I have taken 9 bottles, and must give credit to this old Indian Tonic. All my pains are gone and I feel as well as I ever felt in my whole life. It was the waste-basket that saved my life."

Four Kings Unearthed After the excavations at Nuri, four of the greatest Kings of Ethiopia were still back—Kings who, like Tiruqa, had ruled Egypt as well as Ethiopia. In the third year of search these four Kings, with their Queens, and indeed six generations of their ancestors, were found at the second royal cemetery E. Kiruquw, on the north of Nipat. It was discovered that the royal family of Eritrea had sprung from a tribe of Libyan nomads who had entered the province, then a part of Egypt, about 900 B. C., had become Egyptianized, revolted from Egypt, and finally, under Pankhiy, conquered the older country. From this sun-scorched place five of the Kings of Ethiopia had ruled Egypt and 2,000 miles of the Nile Valley, and had sent their ambassadors to the Courts of Assyria and Western Asia. Careful study of the objects and inscriptions found in these tombs has given the Harvard-Boston archaeologist a full chronological list of the Kings of Ethiopia during this period and a knowledge Continued on page 5.

"Are not several Church members opposed to accepting the Holy Communion from the hands of their pastors for misconduct of grave nature that cannot stand the light of day, and are there not scandals in the air and around us in Freetown-to-day which prove most conclusively that many of our Ministers (Religious Leaders) are either怕 converts or fear being below the average standard of Christianity and thereby become an assistance to the progress of God's work! "Without going into further details I assert with all sincerity that except some of our ministers and clergymen seek, conviction, confess and obtain forgiveness in time for the occasion, with all their fears, their sermons will only consist of choice and eloquent phrases cold of every particle of the Divine Spirit. Unless it is imposed a man must be held convicted himself, he cannot convey others."

"To those who are well-informed, immorality as it appears today, is the social source of all civilized races, and unfortunate those of us who happily or unhappily follow in the wake of Western Civilization have found ourselves injured, invaded, and so severely hurt when those of us who are acquainted with the history of our ancestors remember that IM-MORALITY in their days was one of the most rare offenses which was punishable by death in some cases.

Comments On The Game Lincoln Coach Says Both Teams Put Up Game Fight I think the recent Lincoln-Howard game was one of the games fights ever put up by two colored institutions. It demonstrated that the players on both teams knew in one or many parts of football. The mud didn't have any part in the outcome of the game, as I believe it slowed up equally both teams. Lincoln's team put the same pay in the game as they were in a dry day! I firmly believe that the best team won.

EY LINCOLN BETTER THAN HOWARD Captain Law Says His Team Would Have Scored Tour Touchdowns On Dry Field I believe I am safe in saying that the mud was of no advantage whatever to us; it was rather a disadvantage. We won merit due to our better team, good team post due to the variations of play which always kept Howard on the wonder. Our running formation were quite a mystery to Howard and they could not solve our team had a better offensive attack, and in defense our superior to post due to however Howard did not play a loose game and we earned everything we got.

FRIDAY, DEC. 2, 1921 NEGRO CIVILIZATION OF 3.721 YEARS AGO FOUND IN EGYPT Continued from page 1. of the condition and development of the remarkable arts and crafts of the time it is said that the material is discovered at Nuri can be dislublished. Permafid Excavations The final made at Nuri is only one of a series of discoveries to the credit of the Harvard-Boston institution during its fifteen years of excavation in Egypt. At Giza Professor Reisner and his assistants excavated the two temples attached to the Third Pyramid, that of King Mycerinus, and found one of the finest known pieces of Egyptian sculpture, including the obelisk slate, pair of Mycerinus and his Queen, Nebu-khammerer, are now in the 20s of Fine Arts. ton Mulholland As Professor Reisner puts it, "The men and women whose faces these portraits show us had seen the First and Second Pyramids in building, and had witnessed the carving of the Great Sphinx." These portrait heads date from the greatest period of Egyptian art, the Fourth Dynasty, about 220 B. C. It has been said that it will be impossible hereafter to write an adequate history of Egyptian art without mentioning these portrait heads and other ex- amples of sculpture and artisanship brought from the cemeteries of Lizn to the museum by Profes- tor Reisner. Egyptian Garrison Found Other important discoveries were made at Kerma, on the River Nile, in the Northern Sudan, some long miles south of Giza and Cairo. Here the Harvard-Boston excavators uncovered the cemetery of an Egyptian garrison which held the Northern Sudan as a colony from the time of Sessostris II, to the Pyksos period, from about 1300 to 1600 B. C. This Egyptian colony developed a remarkable civilization, partly Egyptian in character, partly Nubian. Their burial customs were recolling; in some cases the graves of the Egyptian Governors of the province were found to contain as many as two or three hundred persons, mostly women, who had been buried alive at the funeral in order that their spirits might accompany the spirit of the dead in the life after death. views. On the other hand, one of the finest private statues of the Middle Empire, that of the Lady Sennuyu, and several other pieces of sculpture were found at Kerma, while the pottery includes the finest wares ever made in the Nile Valley. Those, together with the tortoise-shell handled swords, ostrich-feather fans mirrors, razors, knives saudals and innumerable other objects, bear witness to a civilization of remarkable quality, hitherto practically unknown. At Bersheh, in Middle Egypt, Professor Reisner's party found a wooden sarcophagus, exquisitely painted, which proved to be one of the greatest pieces of Egyptian painting in the state of the Lady Sennuyu, and is now on exhibition in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.

GRIFFITHS "MOTHER AND THE LAW" SPECIAL ATTRACTIONS:—TUESDAY NIGHTS-AMATEUR'S THURSDAY NIGHTS-COOTIE CONTEST Run Right To The AFRO With That Want or For-Rent Ad At Barkal, 200 miles south of Kerma and close to Nyr, the Harvard-Boston expedition found the remains of a great temple of Amon, which threw light on the history of a later occupation of the Sudan by the Egyptians, about 1500-1000 B. C. There also the expedition first succeeded in penetrating to the burial chambers of the Sudan. At Barkal itself, as well as elsewhere, the excavators had made repeated attempts to find the burial chambers of the pyramids, but had always failed. Equipped with a knowledge of Egyptian building methods, gained in twenty years of excavation in Egypt, Professor Reisner solved the puzzle in a few minutes, and in the space of a morning his diggers had uncovered the entrance to one of the pyramids. These particular pyramids had been looted centuries ago, and nothing of special importance was found. But two years containing splendid statues were also excavated, and a variety of other valuable material was found. AMERICA NOT LIKE JAMAICA AMERICA NOT LIKE JAMAICA Continued from page 1, column 3 action of the great city that stretches out a sheltering hand to them in a similar quarter exists in Brooklyn. The men work as elevator runners, chauffeurs, porters at the railway stations, and janitors in apartment houses. The women are maids and stenastresses, to rich families. In short the majority are servants to rich people and maids of grocers in New York going to do the more rough work of the city such as trucking, furnaces, scavenging, etc. They have not a chance of a position requiring more education and skill except as employees of Negroes themselves. There are many black lawyers, doctors, ministers merchants, dentists, clerks, stenographers, barbers, and other judgesmen who live in Harlem, where their professions and trades among members of their own race. Negro More Satisfied The Negro is specially desired as a domestic servant because he is more satisfied than his white brother, he gets very good wages and receives great kindness from his master, and as a general rule remains in one job for a long time. He is also given long wages he is given valuable presents in the shape of slightly soiled or out of date clothing, jewelry etc. Besides there are tips from visiting guests. These servants as a rule earn much money, and many of them save it too, and invest it in real estate in Harlem, and for many everything and give their children the advantage of a good education. It is said that the value of property owned by the Negroes in Harlem amounts to $100,000,000. Negroes travel all over the city on business or pleasure, and they enter and trade in stores and shops of the white man, who is glad to get his money. The white man, however, does not trade with the Negroes because he does not necessity, he seldom or never goes to the Negro quarter because he has no interest there, the Negro on the other hand has interests all over the city as he is freely employed by white men in certain capacities. Are Well Behaved Black people travel side by side with white people in the tram cars, trains, and steamboats; their behaviours are excellent and consequent with the whites. Negroes are served in the smaller and cheaper eating houses and lunch counters, but they know that they would not be well received in the hotels and able restaurants, so they do not go there—that is all. The rich Negroes entertain their friends in THE AFRO-AMERICAN A Negro would not enter a white man's barber shop; he would patronize one in his own quarter. He can purchase any seat, however, in the best theatre. I went up to Harlem specially to see things for myself, and I was most favourably impressed with what I saw. The houses and shops compare well with those in the white districts. It must be remembered, however, that these were all built for the housing of white people, and that the Negroes have gradually acquired the properties for themselves. The people on the streets were well dressed and anthematic, the children are clean and well behaved, the interior of fact they were much cleaner and better dressed than the Jewish children of the lower East Side. I especially observed the large number of automobiles owned or driven by colored men. Employment Different Here What chance has an educated and refined black young man of character from Jamaica, in New York? He would find it almost hopeless to obtain employment of the kind that he would expect to get at home. He would have to become a laborer or a servant. If he is ambitious and is looking towards a profession, it will certainly be worth his while to become a servant to some rich gentlemen and to save as hard as he can. In turn, he will have to turn his bank on his job and make a start with his studies; thousands of white Americans became servants in order to earn money to pay for their culture courses. He can very well follow their good example. It will do him good to go anyhow, for he will learn a whole lot about life in general and about some profession or trade in particular, and he may be able to return to Jamaica to settle afterwards British Justice as administered in this Island of Jamaica. Or perhaps he may elect to make his home in the colored section of some southern town where he can work out his own salvation. tre E MUSIC BY TISEMENT DE WI RO THE 512-14 PROG MAR very dr The dramat Universal presents The RedBlooded American History Chapter Play Starring ART ACORD in WINNERS of the WEST Directed by Ed.

Every seat of the big Criminal Court room was taken during the closing hours of the case and the bailiff drove out one who had or more persons who were to stand in the aisles. There was perfect silence. Judge Gorter asked Smith to stand up and announced, "You have been found guilty on first count of attempt to commit criminal assault and found guilty on the second count of assault with intent to murder." Smith's attorney, City Councilman, Warner T. McQuinn immediately moved to suspend the sentence pending hearing before the Supreme Bench sometime next month for a new trial. Smith was taken back to the city jail. When the court opened Tuesday, morning, State attorney Leach, of Baltimore, took the floor for an amicus summarize the case. He referred to Smith as a "beast," for his attack upon Marita Lyon, white, Goucher College student, Mr. Leach also paid a high tribute to Mr. McQuinn in saying that he had defended Smith as well as any attorney or group of attorneys could have defended him. Right here, after Mr. Leach closed his argument, Mr. McQuinn sprang his surprise by submitting the case about how he had asked for two hours in which to prepare his case. He said: "Your Honors, I thought long and seriously about this case, especially after going to my home last night and knowing that your Honors will not pass sentence without reading the written testimony in this case. I have decided to submit it to your Honors without mentioning it to the judges. Speaking for the judges, Judge Gorter declared that they had taken copious notes, would not wait for testimony to be written up and were ready to pass judgment at once. They expressed their willingness to hear Mr. McGinnis' argument of the case "if he had a duty to make. In my case" said Smith's attorney, and the Judges left the room to debate for one-half hour before bringing in the verdict. Mr. McGuinn's move took State's Attorney Jennifer, of Towson, entirely by surprise. Jennifer undoubtedly had prepared a long speech in which he would wave the red flag of prejudice and get off his feet. He was at court at Towson. As Mr. McGuinn's refused to argue the case further, Mr. Jennifer was not allowed to speak. Usher Store Is Robbed Thieves entered the store of Frederick H. Usher, 333 tricker street, sometime between 4 p. m., Mo. day and 9 a. m., Tuesday and stoke two show cases 8 feet long, and one refrigerator 4 feet by 3 feet.

CHAUFFEURS, BEWARE New Type Of Flintfammer Promises Them A Job That Doesn't Produce Local chauffeurs are on the lookout for a tall dark man who is taking fourteen dollars, fifty cents from applicants for a job and running off with the money. Williams Jones, 1716 Latrobe Street said he handed over this amount to the man for a job and went with him to the Central Police Station here he was to get the license. Jones wished sometime outside and then went inside to report his loss to the police. The tall dark one had evidently beat it out a side door. Maryland Avenue gave up nine dollars to the same man who took him to the post office and had him wait at the Calvert Street entrance while he beat it out of the Lexington side.

His groups attracted the police who seat him to the hospital where his wounds were treated. In a statement to the local police he said that he was accompanied by a guard named M. Smith, that he had been to the Bowie races selling jewelry and that he also won some money by betting on the horses. He came back to Baldwin W. W. W. W.

From that lowly beginning she has worked her way up through the precarious existence of the small hawkward valuée show until she now holds her own organization known as the "Black Swan Troubadours" which is creating a sensation wherever it appears, and she is in addition receiving large financial returns from the sale of her business which are under the Black Swan trade-mark by the Face-Photograph Company. Although now being able to gratify her every wish when money is concerned, Miss Waters does not go in for extravagance and the "high life" but finds her greatest enjoyment in quiet surroundings with good books to read, when she is not making records or delighting her legion of admirers in the theatres. She has just completed two new records which are not yet on the market, entitled "Kiss Your Pearly Baby Nice" and "Drying With the Blues". She is a native of Philadelphia.

At all Drug Store thru local distribution, FRIDAY, DEC. 2, 1921 DEMOCRATS REJOICE OVER BIG VICTORY IN NEW YORK CITY Praise Thousands of Colored Voters Who Helped Re-elect a Democratic Mayor TELEGRAM LAUDATORY Says Negroes Followed Harding's Advice and Divided Votes New York City, December 1 Nothing but words of praise are being heard all over the State for the help given by colored people to make the Democratic landlale possible in the recent election which put Mayor Hylan, back in office for four years. The Democratic organization in this State has always been as friendly to the colored voter as the Republicans, with the result that it has been able to secure a half of them in Democrat candidates in State elections. History was made here recently when colored Democrats, fifteen hundred strong, succeeded in breaking up a colored Republican mass meeting of equal number. So strong was the treaty away from the Republican John W. Smith, colored candidate for the board of Alderman, on the Democratic ticket came within ninety-five votes of defeating George Harris, colored Republican candidate for the state attorney general. It would be necessary for an official intent to decide this election. counsel of the laudatory comments on the action of the colored people in following President Harding's advice to split their vote was contained in New York Telegram. It said recently: "The colored population of New York City sets up good political example throughout the race throughout the country; not by beckling, although that is merely a hectic demonstration borrowed from white folks. Not by demanding representation in the board of aldermen or the state legislature or congress although a member of the House is in those bodies if he have the ability and the genius of service. What the New York colored colony has done to excite the approval, not to say the admiration, of all thinking persons is found in its disposition to break away from the threat of a single party alleging that it is the asset of the republican organization. And this is a hopeful sign. "In a recent speech President Harding said he hoped to see the time when the Race would divide on economic questions; when it no longer would feel wedded to one political division. "There is no more reason why all Colonials would be Republican than there is why all white of German, or of Italian, or of Irish birth should be Republicans or Democrats. Race has nothing to do with it, and we are more than a half century away from emancipation. "The Negro Race owes the present Republican organization nothing, not even political freedom, to the political numbers of the Race living in New York know it. They are acting accordingly.

LIGHT SENTENCE GIVEN PILCHARD DISPLEASES EASTERN SHORE FOLK White Murderer Merely Sent to House of Correction For Heinous Crime Staff Correspondence Cambridge, Md., Dec. 1—One of the most important murder trials held in recent years in a county court of Maryland was the trial of John Pilchard (white) for the killing in cold blood of Stephen H. Long, one of the most representative and highly respected colored citizens of this State at Pocomoke矿 last September, which came up in the Dorchester County Court at Cambridge last week ending in a verdict of manslaughter against the accused and a penalty of three years in the House of Correction. The aftermath of the trial leaves a distinctly bad taste in the mouth of the people of Maryland. Every counsel of these lines are familiar with the circumstances of the murder of Stephen Long former grand master of the Odd Fellows of the State, and at the time of his death, was superintendent of the colored schools of Worcester County. Expected First Degree Verdict These circumstances had led many to declare that the only justifiable verdict that a jury could bring in would be one of murder in the first degree. There were many in this group however, who while they believed this to be the only just verdict, could not bring themselves to the point of belief that the jury would believe that they believed that the fact that Long was a colored man and his murderer a white man, would be the means of the jury tempering justice with merry, to the extent that Pilehard would receive a verdict which would carry with it a number of years incarceration in the Maryland Penitentiary. Race Prejudice Infamed But few if any expected that Pilehard would escape with the verdict and penalty that has been imposed. Pilehard's counsel left no stone unturned in seeking to influence the jury in favor of their client, Mr. McCormick, in the fight. The facts were too clear, witness after witness of Lang's race, colored men and women of education and refinement had gone upon the stand and testified in an intelligent and straightforward manner. Mr. and Mrs. Noah Gunby, Mrs. Ida McMewell, Mrs. Sophroni Gillen and the 12-year-old Jesse Lowe in a 1924-old adopted daughter of the murdered man who was with her foster-father at the time of the YORK, PA.

Her story was so straight-forward that Fleurhardy counsel seemingly saw little use in trying to break-down her test-taking. On their side, their witnesses had told what Attorney Eugene O'Dunne characterized as the most outrageous case of perjured testimony ever brought into a courtroom when they declared that two other colored men besides Long were on top of William Pilchard bearing him, yet none of them knew who the men were nor where they went, and furthermore had said nothing about this phase of the time that State Patrolman Powell took Pilchard into custody. But they were not sure of their ground yet, they had one card up their sleeve that they believed they could depend on. They played it. "Who do you mean, that nigger woman with the fur coat and red hat" this nigger and that nigger was suspectible colored men and women. The intent and purpose was apparent. "This is not a race issue" cried Attorney O'Dunne it is a question of justice. "You have heard the testimony of these respectable colored men and women." God only knows what would happen to them if it were for the respectable colored men and women who live here." Eastern Shoremen Disappointed Conversation with some of these respectable colored men and women who live on the Eastern Shore reveals that they have been sadly disappointed in the outcome of this trial. They believed that John Pilech should have received a more severe verdict. "Who is the use of a colored man in the court if he can be killed in such a manner as Long was killed and his murderer, who being a white man, is allowed to get off so lightly?" Among the more prominent colored people who attended the trial were Isaiah Brown head of the Odd Fellows, Josiah Henry, Cyrus Sinclair, Rev. and Mrs. M. A.

EXCITING MOMENT HOWARD Forward Pass Perfected By Brought Them Victory EXCITING MOMENTS IN HOWARD-LINCOLN GAME --- Forward Pass Perfected By Orange And Blue Team Brought Them Victory In Thrilling Contest (Full story of the Howard-Lincoln game was told in the Football Extra last-week.) Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 1.—Lincoln showed itself better than Howard on a muddy field Thanksgiving Day. Despite the fact that ooze covered the playing field three inches deep, the game afforded the 12,000 spectators thrills aplenty and was not decided until the last whistle blew. Most of the play was in Lincoln territory. Howard getting within ten yards to the scoring distance on six different occasions. Each time poor judgment gave Lincoln the The first thrill came early in the first period. Captain Law drew the Lincoln Guns to their feet by taking a forward pass thrown by Payne in mid-field and landing the ball on Howard's twenty yard line. Two attempts to repeat the play failed. Then Law himself threw a beauty to Skinker who dodged across the line field for Lincoln's first game since Howard since 1945. Score: Lincoln 6, Howard 10. Howard's Turn in Second Period. The teams changed goals giving Howard players a chance at the dry end of the field. Twice Howard backed, slipped and skidded with the ball to Lincoln's ten yard mark only to be turned back. The third time Wilson of Lincoln form seemed to be hobbling up was gully of slinging and put out here, there and everywhere at the game. His team was penal's time, and his eye for the gud half the distance to the goalbasket both from the field and he and Howard put the ball in play on hind the free throw line was that Lincoln's twenty-five yard mark, of a true markman. The third time Wilson of Lincoln was guilty of slugging and put out of the game. His team was penalized half the distance to the goal, and Lincoln's twenty-five yard mark Howard backed, using the deceptive formation that fooled Lincoln last year and made its first down on Lincoln's eight yard line. In this play the half-backs recorded each other on the ground behind him, using the full-back behind in regular position facing the line. The ball is swapped to the quarterback and each of these backs dive into the line at three different points. Any one of them may take the ball off the back after making a half off passing the ball may run with the ball himself. Howard backed, using the deceptive formation that fooled Lincoln that lay the visitors weakest year and made it just down mess for in the latter half their team had to carry the ball in the line. In this play the half-backs carried the ball into the locals, crenched facing each other ten territory time and again when it yards behind the line of serifism, seem that all they had to do was to mage the full-back behind in regular reach up and drop it in but there lay position facing the line. The ball fell not to be a fairly possible outcome, but it was made in comparison with the innumerable line at three different points in comparison with the innumerable trials at goal that they had from the quarterback or the quarter-engineered. At this point a new man was sent by Coach Shelburn to stop Howard rush. In the first play he jumped on top of a pile of playground equipment and a newly the ball was moved to Lincoln's one yard line. Lincoln held here like a stopwatch, but Jayne jumped over the mass of fallen players and was downed two feet across the goal line. Score: Howard 7, Lincoln 6. Jayne blocked a kick on Howard's twenty yard line, the ball being recovered by Payne in back of Howard's goat to touchdown. Lincoln claimed two points and a safety and Coach Shelburn rushed to the edge of the field to make a ground rule adopted by both teams before the game, called the ball dead and gave it to Howard on their twenty yard line. Captain Law made himself a place in the Hall of Fame by getting hold of an forward pass thrown from mid-field and scooted across. Howard's goat line for a second downdown. Score: Lincoln 13. Howard 0. Howard tried to come back, Payne set the Howard roots off and grabbed the next kick off and running fifty-eight yards back he was croused in the middle of his teammates carried the ball on succeeding Lincoln's eight yard line, but a penalty for roughness set them back fifteen yards and Lincoln kicked out of danger.

Rod's pal, as he and Rod and Rod's father, Mr. Clarke, commenced practicing on a tumbling mat in the Clarke basement. "Well, it's easy enough after you get up, being unpuddled," said Mr. Clarke. "I'll do it first, boys. Watch me closely." Mr. Clarke stepped lightly in his gym shoes to the center of the mat. He bent over, placing his head and hands on the mat in such a way that they formed a triangle about fifteen inches on each side. This position is shown in figure 1. Then, slowly he pushed his legs up till they were straight in the air. The positions are shown in figures 2 and 3. He pointed his toes—looked just like a usus tumbler—and after holding the position of figure 4 for a minute, down as quick as a flash and stood on his toes. "Pretty slick," praised Dan. "Now I'm going to try it." "Step up here, then," said Mr. Clarke. "Now, for the first time or two, I will hold you up, then you can try it alone." Mr. Clarke took hold of Dan's ankles. Slowly he pulled his legs up straight. "Push on your hands, Dan," said Mr. Clarke. "Divide your weight between your head and arms." Again Dan ran. Again they tried it, and finally Dan decided to go it alone. He was successful. FRIDAY, DEC. 2, 1921 First Period The Head Stand Can you do it? Sharmecoes Down Setflers Local Quintet Defeat Washingtonians In Fast Game 21 To 21 In a fast and hotly contested basketball game at Sharp Street Community High School on Saturday just prior to Sharnese took the Settlers a creek quintet from the national Capitol into camp 27 to 21. It was a nip and tuck game from start to finish. For the first ten minutes of the first half however, the locals fairly dazzled the defensive team with offensive and defensive work, and finally But the litter were pegging away like proverbial bearer and as the period drew near the close, they began to locate the net enclosure with a regularity that threw consternation into the Sharmocoves camp. And when the first half ended, the score stood 12-12. When the second half opened the Sharmocoves realized that their work was now cut out for them and they were ready to support their line by subbing Davis in one of the forward positions. And the litter was not long in justifying the choice for his short chinny form seemed to be hobbling up here, there and everywhere at the same time, and his eye for the basket both from the field and behind the free throw line was that of a true markman. And it was in this very department that lay the visitors weakness or in the latter half their passing and carrying the ball into the local territory time and again when it seem that all they had to do was to reach up and drop it in but there seemed not to be a fairly passable shooter on the team. True they made 21 points but this is negligible in comparison with the innumerable trials at goal that they had ingenuously done. The lineup: SETTLERS SHARMECOES Brown F. Baskerville Williams F.

The river runs Late that afternoon when Farmer Todd returned from town he found the two boys playing in the crooked tree, for it was easy to climb. "Did you water the cows?" asked Mr. Todd. "Yes," replied Joseph. Joseph DID NOT water the cows. He and Thomas took a boat ride and at noon were two miles down the river. They were frightened when they found out it took so much longer to row back against the stream than to row with the current. They had been home but a short time when Mr. Todd returned from town. If Joseph had informed his father that he did not water the cows, his father would have wanted to know the reason why. Joseph would then have had to tell about the boat ride and that he disobeyed his father, or he would have had to tell another lie. That night a great storm came. The wind blew a gale and some of the branches of the great trees were broken. In the morning the city visitor, Thomas, exclaimed as he looked out of the window: "I thought the wind would bend the straight tree." Joseph laughed at Thomas' ignorance, and said: "Why, you silly, the wind can't make an old tree crooked." "How did the crooked tree get that way, then?" inquired Thomas. "It grew that way."

Thomas said he was. "I guess that's why they call some men CROOKS," said Joseph. "And they don't happen that way or get crooked when they grow straight and strong," said Thomas. "We went on the river and that we didn't water the cows," said Thomas. "Seems to me that we were best yesterday and we don't want to grow crooked, do we Joe?"

Aceoow, the famous team "Y" team of Tebow, the Italian from the St. Benedict's team of Newark, at forward; Storm, of New York City at guard along with Harris and Foley of Orange formed an almost unbeatable combination, but they succeeded to the prowess of Captain Benedict, who played as men possessed. Just how well they did their work can be gleaned from the fact that the Blue and Gray Boys scored 23 points in the second half while holding their opponents to 6. Seldom has such a comeback been achieved that the Athletes are as fighting a bunch as ever graced a basketball court. The features of the game were the guarding of by the locals in the stanza, the shooting of Scampy Brown, the floor work of Benedict, the defense of Barker and Wright.

COACH MORRISON'S STATEMENT Howard Beaten By Team "Worthy Of Victory" "Up to this time I have refrained from making a statement because I have misquoted. "If it had only rained on the Howard team and they only had the mud to play in, then Howard would have, but both teams played in the same mud and rain and had the same length of time to play in. Howard does not hide behind "its or bats". Lincoln was a worthy for and worthy of victory. . . I congratulate them. My boys played as well as they knew how. If there is any fault they had not gone down fighting, they have hung my head, they fought to the last. I'm proud of my boys now as I was last year. Sidelights On The Lincoln-Howard Game 475 persons from Washington and 145% from Baltimore made the trip to the game in a special ten-counch train. Thanksgiving day of it, they had not rained the offer; a thousand persons would have made the journey. Howard students showed their "crushes" on some of the Miner all girls by filling up the chairs to parlor cars. The Howard R. O. T. C. band paraded the coaches from engine to last car, playing college songs and putting "pep" in the rooters. The game rabble came back later thanksgiving night having lost everything except its socks, by betting on the game. Bishop J. Albert Johnson was the guest of Dr. W. T. Carr at the game. When Lincoln team was marching up the field for a touchdown, the Lincoln cheering section kept up such cheering and such asked Dr. Carr to move back in the "quiet zone." Dr. Carr did not reply, and evidently did not hear what the Bishop said. At any rate Bishop Johnson went back of the "rabble" where it were quiet. Bishop Johnson game and just then Lincoln made the touchdown, and one of the noisest rooters was our own quiet Dr. Carr. Players of both teams "were spaked with water and caked with mud. After the game they took a bath, shampoo and manicure. After the game they took a cause clouds of steam arose from the bodies of the men like mist over a small river. Lincoln rooters hired their band, which had on pretty uniforms and refused to get them wet by marching around the field during the intermission. "Citie" Carter. Howard's regular quarterback who beat Lincoln last year was kept out of the game by faculty action because he is back in his studies. President Durkee gave permission to play him in the last quarter. Lincoln's star rooter was Dr. J. B. St. Felix Isaacs, pastor of Aller Chapel A. M. E. Church, Kansas City, Missouri, who motored all the way to Philadelphia just to cheer his boys to victory. Rev Mrs. Isaacs properly Miss Esther Hill, is visiting her parents, Rev and Mrs. D. G. Hill. Dr. Isaacs expects to leave for home soon, but he is coming back to Baltimore to attend the A. R. A. Convention Christmas week. Spectators watched the game from the shelter of the grandstands where they were protected from the cold rain and the soft mud. Not so the poor newspaper men, who followed the play up and down the field until the last whistle blew. In the third quarter of the game when Captain Law caught his touchdown he could have been nailed in mid-field easily by quarterback Kean, of Howard. If he had not bad Smith as interference Rakuten rounded Kean, but Law ran across the field for a touchdown. "OUR EARL" Afo Murationner Wins Again Counterwits H. U.

The previous record was held by Mellor, who covered the course in 55 minutes 47 2-5 seconds two years ago. Athenians Lose To Alco A. C. The Athenian Blue and Gray Quintet found the Alco A. C. Five of Washington, D. C., too speedy on the one hand and too immovable on the other to hold in check at Richmond Market Armory last Monday night, and thus lost a thrilling basketball contest, 15 to 11. The Alco at times showed bursts of speed that fairly bewildered the locals and their defense was no less brilliant. The Athenians, however, bitterly contested the visitors' efforts, but were not nearly so effusive as they might have been had they devoted more time to guarding. Time after time the visitors by snappy passing found themselves practically alone in the locals' goal zone; making shot after shot in succession before the latter seemed to realize what was going on. The pleasure of the game came near being marred in the last half by some questionable conduct on the part of the locals that was in the nature of "rough stuff". There is nothing that can hurt a team in basketball worse than to get the ball thrown "hail james" or in any other sport for that matter. And it is sincerely to be hoped that all local players will see to it that this stigma does not become attached to the athletes of this city. A big crowd of basketball enthusiasts, despite the inclination of the weather, turned out to witness the game. THE SCORE Alces (two half) 5 field goals, and 2 free throws; (second half) 1 field goal, and 1 free throw. Total points, 15. THINGS THAT NEVER HAPPEN Copyright 2018 International Carrier Co. N.Y.

SPORT TID-BITS Another colored purplist broke into the limelight of the prize ring last week in New York in the person of "Cyclone" Williams a 130 pounder who hails from New Orleans the birthplace of Harry Wile, William's father on the occasion mentioned, was with Jo-O'Neil a clever white lighter. The bout went the limit which was 10 rounds and ended in a draw. Now that the football season has about disappeared over the hill, the scholastic and athletic teams are turning their attention to the exciting and exhilarating game of basketball. This game was originated about 30 years ago by Dr. J. A. Naismith of the Springfield Y. M. C. A. in his endeavor to find an indoor game that would take the place of football. And its rise has been more seasonal than any other athletic sport in the history of this country. And as has been the case in all other sports, colored athletes have taken to basketball like ducks take to water, with the result that colored athletic circles swarm with classy teams who compare favorably with the best in the sport. These teams will all be seen in action against each other this winter, many of whom are expected to come here and stack against the Athletians the strong focal quintet. Jack Johnson appeared by special invitation of the management of weekly boxing bouts held at the 15 Regiment Armory in New York City last week, and got a big band from the fight fans assembled. Johnson announced that he would meet any tighter match and secure and见证 him look and if his bands were told behind him Johnson also stated that he had given Tex Kickard his first start as a tight promoter and now Rickard was trying harder than anyone else to keep colored boxers down. It was announced that he would club the first Friday night in December if an opponent of merit can be signed up. The annual meeting of the Nation's Negro Baseball League is scheduled to take place the first week in January, either in Detroit, Cleveland or Pittsburgh. There is rumor that there will be a drama in the league next year, to wit the Columbus franchise will be transferred to Cincinnati, and Mills who headed the St. Louis Giants last season will be ousted from the league. Mills removed is said to be the result of his poor management of Louis Clem which was considered one of the best in the league. It is also rumored that Rubie Foster doesn't care to continue as president of the league, a position which it is claimed, he did not especially want in the first place. Foster recently lost his daughter. Harry Wills the bronzeed heavyweight whom Mr. John Dumouse continues to give a wide birth is well on the way awards the title of the "minute-man" of the prize ring. About a month ago he laid Gumball Smith low in one minute of fighting, and last week in October he stopped the bout between Wills and Denver Ed Martin after two minutes of fighting to save Martin from further punishment.

The weather was ideal for both players and spectators. The Union team, confident of victory, began an offensive that netted two touchdowns in the first touchdown of play. The first touchdown was made after several long end runs, while the second resulted from a blocked kick that was jugged in the air for about twenty yards and was finally recovered behind Hampton's goal by a Union player. In the third quarter, out of two trials, Gunn made one field goal. Most of the second half was played in Union's territory, but Hampton kicked the goal to score a touchdown. The team played an aggressive game, both on offensive and defensive play. At all times they had complete mastery of the situation. The pointing of Jackson for Union and Gunn for Hampton was good. Dabney, playing center for Hampton, was easily the game's leader, the work of strength for Hampton's life, which at all times was impregnable. The game was one of the clearest that has ever been played between the two schools, and from the spectators' standpoint was perfect. UNION HAMPTON The line-up: Boffman L. E. Watley Barkside L. T.

Sports Editor "Y" Team Out For Championship The "Y" Big Five with Captain Macbeth leading are out for local honors and are confident that they are prepared to scalp many of the strong quintets in the East this winter. Their ambition as a starter, is to take on the Sharmoces and the Tyi Mus the two strong local quinches. But their chief ambition is to lower the colors of the Allied arm, white 745 lbs. A. A. U. Champion, the first two years. This team is one of the best in Baltimore, and as it now appears that white and colored five will face each other on the local courts this winter for the first time, the "Y" aggregation believe they will bring home the bacon." Following the lead of the States of Minnesota and Michigan, the Chicago Defender will present a little bit of the winner of the Howard-Lincoln football championship this year, which will become the annual trophy to be contended for by these two schools on the gridiron in the future. NEVER HAPPEN artoon Co., N. Y. YOU'RE THOROUGHLY WORTHY OF A GIRL LIKE THAT DAN! SHE COULDN'T GET A NICER FELLOW FRIDAY, DEC. 2, 1921 AFRO'S SHORT STORY A Toosnate Lee Ovacho Brown Short Story By Aubrey Bowser Author Of "The Man Who Would Be White" And Other Stories As Toussaint's glaring vehicle wound its way through the narrow downtown streets he had a taste of his coming for a funnel-shaped funnel and Caucasian firearms were turned toward bim and he noticed that all other cars were pale or dingy beside the butterfly tints of his. At a certain moment in Wall Street, Toussaint inched to his chauffeur who stopped, opened the door, and saluted. Toussaint tucked his cane under his arm and strapped into the building, and he heard someone say, "Looky, who's this?" In a moment he boldly opened the door of bowns, Jordan and Company, and chucked cheerful, with many chairs occupied by well-dressed people who were watching a big blackboard. To his disappointment the room was smaller than a big broker's office was furnished as a fashionable hotel. A curious-eyed office boy approached him. *"Who your name was?" *"I didn't find Toussaint important." "Mistiss Jeb Macdon." The office boy took his card and disappeared, and in a moment Joe Mason, a stout, keep-faced man of course, came out of the inn office. "Why, hello, Mistail Toussaint," he said shaken and saddened, "but I can give you. We've miss you up at he Mazzarini, but from what I hear you're too big a man to miss us." "Oh me, I ain't I got you. Easy man." "No, not for an hour yet. Looks like a slow day down here. I know the signs." Matton, him sizzle you privately. "Did you 'tossaint' mysteriously, 'Sumpin' important." "Yes! Well, come in!' said Matton, leading him into a small room and closing the door. "I know. Mistach Joe," whispered Toussaint, "be a great dreamcatcher in my dreams dey allu comes true." "Oh?" laughed Matton. "That's more than I can say of some of the best guesses in the Street." "Big ain't no guess, said Toussaint. 'I jes had a big dream Company. It was goin up an up up' up." "Why, de big guns had bought into it, not a nobody was trying to grab it before it skyhooted. Den it got out of the Rooshan Guvment had done ordered fifty million dBahs with a shot an' shell. An' me bein' wise to it, I'd done come tyuh an' put you all wise. You haven't been so good to me when ah wasn't nuthin' but a clevatah chauffeur. So you an' ye, firm plinges in to ye necks, an' when de big news gits out an' Doerant skyhoots youse loaded to yo' gills an' so' Tooosynte Lee Ovahehoo Brown to his. An' we all cheans up Gawd knows how much. "Quite a dream, Toussaint, quite a dream," said Maison, "but I know those dreams. I've had 'em too, and whether I followed 'em or not I was nicked just the same." "But, Tooosynte Lee Ovahehoo Brown ain't ne'ah been nicked. An' what's no," he's ready to buck up dat dream wid ten thousand dollars cold. You jes go an' tell de fern dat Tooosynte Lee Ovahehoo Brown's yeah wid ten thousand and green men fo' de Doerant" "Well," said Malson, who really hated to do it. "If you mean to plunge it can stop you'll only go somewhere else. Anyhow your dream will entertain my bosses. Come on with me. I saw him and soon found himself in the presence of Mosses. Downes and Jordan, two well-groomed, mail-eyed brokers. "Gentlemen," said Malson with the assurance of a confidential clerk who is about to become a partner. "this often come from the bosses. Yes yes," said the brokers, concealing their surprise at seeing Toussaint. "take the liberty of introducing Mr. Toussaint l. Ouverture Brown an old friend of mine whose genius has brought him fame and fortune on the stage. Mr. Downes—Mr. Jordan—Mr. Toussaint, at first uncomfortable under the searchlight eyes of the brokers, was encouraged by their politeness." "Well Toussaint," said Malson, "repeat to these gentlemen." Toussaint, now at ease, related all his dream and more, for many harmless and humorous embellishments occurred to him as he talked, since he explained lamentably: "Now lah don't know what you gwine do wid dis inside tip, but Toussaint Lee Owahchoo Brown ten thousand green trees right behind dat dream 'o hisn." "Faith is a wonderful thing, said Mr. Downes." "Cose you all understand, gentlerview, rest'o Walt Street known what we knows now dered be too many to divvy up wid." Downes, Jordan and Mason rolled back in the chairs and called Lord!" cried Jordan. "That's the first good laugh I've had since the Kaiser sank the Lusitania. I saw a lit on the stage," said Downes. "I'll have to come and see you act." "Thank you," said Toussaint. Toussaint Lee Owahchoo Brown's wine do some fancy ackin' right green tables into Doorrant Nunn. The brokers sobered. A little. The courage of ignorance is sometimes magnificent and sometimes terrible. But but a boy's dream, but hardly a buffer is without a touch of superstition. Of course they took his money, then they began looking thoughtful. The papers were filled with the news and then in his pocket without looking them, wishing to give the impression that he was used to such matters. He soon took his leave from town in his car. At Cave Hall, the town was filled with his stock receipt when he was ***** "Yes? why?" hailed by Gleem, his manager. "Good thing I saw you," said Gleem, as the car stopped to let him in. "You can give me a lift to the door." After that Toussaint did not have a minute to himself. Gleem was full of new phones or a trip through the country with a company. He was time for lunch, and after lunch came the matinee. After that Toussaint had to tell five or six song and sketch writers why he could not use their work. He was in the night performance, and following that he took two pretty girls for a long ride in his car. It was two o'clock when he reached home and took out his stock receipt. One glance at it set him running round the company and paid for ninety-five dollars and Jordan's clerks had given him the wrong stock. Plain as day the paper showed that Toussaint had worked for the company and paid for ninety-five dollars. "Lawd, Lawd!" he grounded. "I don't dreamed no dream 'bout盘 stock—ten thousand—oh Lawd." He sat on the bed, gray-faced. How could a big firm like Downes and Jordan make such a mistake? He had a big problem. The Lord alone knew what might have happened after he left the broker's office. Darrant might have soured to the skies and Jordan have dropped into a shack, opened and shivered himself to sleep. When he awoke in the morning his troubles rolled down upon him again, like a black cloud. It was a telephone directory, found Downes and Jordan's number and called us the office. In a moment the voice of Joe Mason came over the window. "Hell- oh, Toussaint. Say Toussaint." "Mistah Joe," broke in Toussaint. "Use awful worried 'hout dat stock.' Yo' clerks did got me all wrong." "Got you wrong? Cee. I wish they'd get everybody wrong, then." "But," waited Toussaint, "math receipt says Doorant, an 'ah alm'." "Oh that was the very stock you "No, no, no," said Toussaint feverishly, "Ah said mah dream" "But good Lord—man! what you kicking about?" Don't you know "Ah jees knows dat ah meant to buy Doorant, Doorant—gift me" "Love of Mike, Toussaint," said Malson, "What did you want with that wild cat?" "Don't no wild cat, Ah dream!" "Haven't you seen the morning papers?" broke in Malson, "That isn't any stuff in fact, there the officers were arrested yesterday just before the market closed, one of our customers was killed by suicide." But you should worry. I'm glad you didn't have any of it. All along I smelled a rat. But what I wanted to tell you was "wash." Doornut—"by my crackly!" jerked Malson's voice. "I see it all now. It's the funniest yet, couldn't happen again in a century. You dreamed about that." Twisted and called it Durant; you plunged and we plunged—" "You did, too? Youse in de same host ah is?" "But alh don't git you at alh" said Toussaint. "For the Lord's sake, Toussaint, get a newspaper. Don't you know that Durant Munition's gone up thirty points."

Apples GAS IN THE STOMACH IS DANGEROUS Recommendations Daily Use of Magnesium To Overcome Trouble, Caused by Fermenting Food And Acid Indigestion Gas and wind in the stomach accompanied by that full blasted feeling of burning almost certifiably evidence of the presence of excessive hydrochloric acid in the stomach, creating so-called "acid indigestion." Acid stomachs are dangerous because too much acid irritates the skin of the stomach, often leading to gastritis accompanied by serious stomach ulcers. Food ferments and sours, creating the distressing gas which distends the stomach and hampers the normal functions of the vital oral or intestinal health. It is the worst of folly to neglect such a serious condition or to treat with ordinary digestive aids which have no neutralizing effect on the stomach acids. Instead get from any druggist a few ounces of Bisurated Magnesium and take a teaspoonful in a quarter杯 of water to dilute this oil with the gas, wind and blunt right out of the body, sweeten the stomach, neutralize the excess acid and prevent its formation and there is no source or pain. Bisurated Magnesium (in powder or tablet form) never liquid or milk) is harmless to the stomach, insipient to the stomach, and sufficient for magnesium for stomach purposes. It is used by thousands of people who enjoy their meals with no more fear of indigestion. M. E. B. A. FENNELL'S BALTIRORE'S BUSIEST MAILORDER PRESCRIPTION The Busy Corner THE WILSON When it comes time to bundle one's neck in furs, hats that are close fitting and hats that have no brim gain prestige. Most women look smarter in hats of their choice, when collars in hats as collars have come off way of doing brown. Not that they are voluminous, they are just high and unrugged, and deep enough to dig one's chin down into and keep it getting hot with prospects before use of sitting hours in the nipping November air watching the football games which beeprinkle November's calendar. Velour and Fur Hats One of the most interesting light on millinery appropriate for such occasions and for day in and day out wear, is that felts have been followed by velours and that the winter will find us wearing hats of fur fall for the winter, or instance a combination such as black velvet andermine, tails being used as a sort of tassel effect on the brim. There are off-the-face models of fur and fur fabrics, one of the most popular of the latter being the baby lamp. An all fur hat is inclined to be very heavy in effect to say something. and the use of narrow bands of fur, and of fur pompons and fur pads which are applied on felt or other fabrics may be mentioned as good trimming. One might easily have a fur brim on one's hat, although the latest fad calls for velour with a velvet drape in contrasting color, serving as the crown. The fur shades are still popular with or without fur trimmings, and so are the more golden shades of caramel and mohawk. While the majority of women are inclined to prefer hats which are worn in one color, there are any number of models of hats being shown and worn which combine two shades, for instance, of fuchsia or of blue, and some hats which boldly combine gray and black velvet. When one shade is felt and the other velvet, the effect is very smart—the trimming of course repeating one or the other color.

DRUID HILL AVENUE GIVE GIRLS THEIR OWN BED ROOMS Inviting Every girl should have a room of her very own to arrange as she pleases, if the family can spare the space in the house instinctively to express themselves in their surroundings. With a little thought and some real work the girl herself can transform an outbuilding, uninviting and into a place of sanctuary to which she can escape when she wants to think out alone, as girls often do. The girls in the lower floor in Room 12, the direction the United States Department of Agriculture and various State agricultural colleges, have accomplished wonderful results in making over unattractive rooms according to the suggestions given by the teachers and how they specialize. The first step is naturally the improvement of the appearance of the empty shell of the room. A neutral shade for the room and larger windows, the room is neatly tiled, Cushions, table covers, locks, and other small, bright colored objects give the needed touch of color. Chinz or cretonne in curtains and cushions sometimes suggests the color emphasized. More importantly, there is an attempt to have everything match. No matter what color scheme is chosen, the darkest tones are best for the floor and its covering, lighter tones for the walls, and the lightest tones for the ceiling. Smoothly finished floors partly covered with rugs are easily cared for. Paint or varnish can often be applied to an old unfinished wood floor to make it look better. Attractive bedroom rugs can be made at home by brushing, coating, weaving rugs, and odds of material. Plain wall papers or those with inconspicuous all-over designs are good back-grounds for pictures. A plastered wall may be painted quietly. The girl in the picture stands with the plaster and woodwork of her room if the latter needs attention. Painted bedroom furniture is much prettier than cheap grades of oak or stained wood. Old burnished, bedside tables, armchairs, and so on in design, can be made to look as though they belonged together if carefully painted white, ivory, or an attractive shade of gray or tan. The old finish should however, be removed and the wood sandpapered smooth before any paint is applied. A Good Bed The bed is the most important thing in a room.

Washington Choir At Sharp Street Church The choir of Mr. Zion M. E. Church visited this city last Sunday evening at the invitation of the choir of Sharp Street Memorial Church and rendered one of the most beautiful sacred concerts that have been heard here this fall. The choir numbered about thirty voices and was under the able direction of Prof. James T. Beason, with Mrs. Mary E. Barnes at the organ. The soloists were Miss Rosa Smith, Mrs. Eugenia Hewlett and Mr. Ferdinand Smith and drummers were rendered by Mrs. Ethel Bolden and Miss Rosa Smith, and Messrs. Morgan Brown and Ferdinand Smith. Each of the singers have voices above the average and made a deep impression. Especially beautiful was the duet of Mrs. Bolden and Miss Smith, their voices blending in perfect harmony. It was in the ensemble singing owever that the choir reached its greatest heights, and its tonal mance in this respect were beauti- ful in the extreme.

FRIDAY, DEC. 2, 1921 The wages of debt are trouble. The man is wise who sees life beyond the tips of his own fingers. Many make the household, but only one the home. The rewards of thrift are peace of mind. The poetry of life is indeed its reality, therefore it is life's truth. The things that matter are the things which are, whether they be great or small, sinful or good. Do your Christmas shopping now, its cheaper, and less tiresome. The only real trouble you will have is to hide the presents so that they won't be found before Christmas Day. Congress Adjourned Congress has taken an adjournment of two weeks very much pleased with itself, because it has disposed the tax bills, aided the farmers to finance the moving of crops with loan legislation, fixed a budget for the conduct of the government, adopted a resolution of peace with Germany, established a War Veterans Bureau and acted favorably upon legislation setting in motion federal aid to mothers and infants. Meantime the Dyer-Anti Lynching Bill and other measures of similar import, which were reported out favourably by the Judiciary Committee died with the dying Congress. It is understood that Representative Dyer will reintroduce his measure again when Congress reopens on December 5th, that it will be rushed again thru the Committee and perhaps passed in time to give the nation a real Christmas gift. Poison Gases Poison gas denounced during the World War as a barbarous weapon is being defended in the Arms Limitation Conference on the ground that it affords the most efficient means yet devised of protecting white civilization against the enslaughter of the darker races. Knowledge of the preparation and use of gas is the peculiar property of the most highly civilized of races, who have invented the means of inflicting pain and death upon large numbers of persons at one time well high to the point of perfection. When the sub-committee of the Arms Conference begins its work, experts of England, Italy and France will voice their objections to tainting poison gas as a civilized weapon. They have a good reason. ENGLAND knows that when India finally gets ready to strike a blow for independence, her bullets will not stop the hords of patriotic brown men. FRANCE knows that if its millions of African subjects decide to off their allegiance, artillery will pop them, because it did not stop the black Sengesees from raiding the German lines and capturing the German trenches. ITALY knows that when her Moormaned subjects on the Red Sea in Somaliland get ready to run their affairs without further assistance from the "banana men," it will take more than machine guns to an end and the war continues. and end to the movement. And so the Arms Conference in Washington will be asked to let poison gas remain on the list of permissible civilized methods of waging war. However, the decision simply means that the "Culturally Inferior" nations will learn how to use poison gas and how to defend themselves against it before they reclaim war. The Chinese invented and first used gunpowder, but the Chinese did not conquer the world. Within our own memory, the Germans invented poison gas, submarines and long range guns, but where are the Germans now? THE PUTRID EASTERN SHORE A court in Cambridge, Md. sentenced John Pilchard, white, to three years in the house of correction FOR THE MURDER of Stephen Long. COLORED SUPERVISOR OF WORCESTER COUNTY SCHOOLS. A court in Easton, Md., just about twenty miles distant from Cambridge, sentenced Perry Castle to 18 YEARS IN THE PENITENTIARY for knocking down a white girl Mattie Simpson, and THREATENING TO ASSAULT HER. In one case the crime was "murder," and in the other it was "attempt assault," and the punishment for the murder was just one sixth the punishment of assault. Why? For no other reason but this: the murderer was a white man. The would be rapist was colored. Lest anyone think that brutal and intentional murder was not committed, here is a part of the testimony at Cambridge last week, of little Jessie Long adopted daughter of the murdered man: "Before testifying she was questioned by the Court in order to ascertain whether or not she was a competent witness. The Court decided that she was and in a quiet manner she told of the trouble leading up to the drilling. She stated that she and loved her husband had been involved when in front of a store conducted by North Gumby, colored. Long was accessed by Will Pichard, white, who was sitting in a runabout who said, "If you you, I'll see you carry a gun" to which her dad replied, "I don't expect I can have one in your pocket, whereupon Pichard said, "You are a liar, and when Long replied that if he said he was a liar he was one himself, after which Pichard cursed him and plumped out of the runabout and started to follow him and grabbed him by the hands of the couch. While they were standing, pulling on each hand of North Pichard, he grabbed a store and grabbed Long, putting his arm around him. She stated that she saw a Mr. Mills sitting on the porch at Gumby's store and that she saw Sophrima Gillette and Florence Anderson, both colored, on their porches. She was not cross-examined." "The other witnesses for the State were Henrietta Gumby, colored, wife of Noah Gumby, Noah Dutton, colored, who lived nearby; Charles Wickes, colored, who lives at Crisfield but happened to be in Pocomoke that day; Walter Dix, colored, who lived nearby; Marian Anderson, colored, who lived close to the scene; Dewey, colored, who lives at Crisfield but happened to be in Gumby who resided nearby, all of whose testimony was along the same lines as that given above." Two important things about the child's testimony should be noted. One is that it was backed up by a number of persons who saw the crime exactly as she saw it. The other is that the lawyers for the defense did not cross examine her. They were afraid to. If they had it is certain she would have added more details to the above statement. HAD PILCHARD BEEN COLORED AND LONG WHITE, there would have been a different story to tell at this trial. Even now Cambridge would be asking the Governor to set an early day for the execution. On the other hand what was Castle's crime? He knocked down a white girl and threatened to assault her. He is a one legged man, and she had no difficulty in jumping up and running away. There were no witnesses of the crime, such as witnessed the killing of Mr. Long. The white girl said HE DID IT; the colored man said HE DID NOT DO IT. On her testimony alone, he was given EIGHTEEN YEARS IN THE PENITENTIARY. The sister of this same girl was the cause of the hanging of Isaiah Fountain for a similar offense. NOTE THIS—Pilchard's term is shorter and he will be freed from the House of Correction without having the stigma of a criminal record, carrying with it a loss of citizenship, etc. Castle who committed in reality no crime, goes to penitentiary where the fact that he has worn the stripes will be against him as long as he lives. Georgia with its lynchings and its peonage has little to offer that is more putrid than this miscarriage of justice. Fact is there is no such thing as justice on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. "Senatorial Courtesy" according its way the other day to confer the to the Associated Negro Press is honorary degree of doctor of laws responsible for the rejection. Under upon Marshall Foch, the French this ancient Senate Custom, it is Generalissimo, when he visited only necessary for any Senator to Washington. only necessary for any Senator to rise and declare that the proposed appointment is personally objectable to him, and the Senate without a vote will then reject. This is what Tom Watson, Georgia's cracker senator is said to have done. What he actually said is not known for the Upper House, was in Executive session. Senator Tom held in his hand a copy of the APRO-AMERICAN of July 29, 1921 and read to his fellow members Mr. Johnson's declaration that "If I had heard Tom Watson and Tom Heflin had gone 'Link' Johnson's Nominaton Rejected As told in: last week's AFROAMERICAN, the Senate without recording its vote rejected the nomination of Henry Lincoln Johnson, Georgia National Republican Committeeman, for the post of Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia. It is possible but not likely that the President will make a recess appointment and so put Mr. Johnson into office over the heads of the Senate. "Senatorial Courtesy" according to the Associated Negro Press is responsible for the rejection. Under this ancient Senate Custom, it is only necessary for any Senator to rise and declare that the proposed appointment is personally objectable to him, and the Senate without a vote will then reject. This is what Tom Watson, Georgia's cracker senator is said to have done. What he actually said is not known for the Upper House was in Executive session. Senator Tom held in his hand a copy of the APO-AMERICAN of July 29, 1921 and read to his fellow members Mr. Johnson's declaration that "If I had heard Tom Watson and Tom Heflin had gone to Heaven, I would want to go to the other place." Senator Tom, when he read this, was to use a common expression a "hot soul", and wound up by telling the Senate that he would invoke "Senatorial courtesy" to prevent the nomination. The Associated Negro Press dispatches from New York remind us that the Senate has not always granted "Senatorial Courtesy," and is loth to see why it should be invoked now. It recalls that in 1881 Roscoe Conkling and Thomas Platt both of New York invoked the rule of Senatorial Courtesy against the confirmation of William Robertson as collector of the New York, November 30—That the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company does not encourage Negroes to take out policies in their institution, and in fact prefers not to write Negroes at all, has just been disclosed by Mr. H. H. Hubert, Executive Secretary of the New York Urban Mr. Hubert has approached this company more than once with a view of making opening for men and women. Mr. Woodward admitted that 12% of the company's policyholders are colored, stating that to employ colored agents would stimulate more business among the race, which is not the case. Mr. Woodward said to give the same policies to Negroes as we give to whites, while the rating due to the high race among Negroes is almost twice as high as did not hesitate to urge that Negroes organize and support their own companies instead of seeking employment. This company has refused to employ colored men and women in any of its departments, this is because he has gone so far as to press his abhorrence for colored business. In a statement given out yesterday Mr. Hubert said, "The Negro has proven his ability to conduct business enterprises." His attitude should be known not only to our colored insurance companies but to every self-respecting Negro who holds a policy or contemplates taking business risks. Even at a sacrifice—even if, a policy with a "colored company" is a few dollars more. "Until the Metropolitan realizes that he has a place in this enterprise not only as a benefactor, but as a benefactor, our ministers, newspapers, social and civic organizations should urge a large patronage and support of our colored insurance companies" he said. Homemakers Building Association Plan Explained Further Dear sir, Your impression might be made by a harsh reading you notice in last Friday's edition of the homeowners' Building and Loan Agenda. Howard University went out of its way the other day to confer the honorary degree of doctor of laws upon Marshall Foch, the French Generalissimo, when he visited Washington. Several other institutions including Johns Hopkins in this city also bestirred themselves to confer honors upon the distinguished Frenchman with the result that he will go back to France with a trunkful of degrees and trophies from appreciative Americans. Except for this occasion Marshall Foch might not have had the opportunity to pay a deserved tribute to the valor of the colored troops of America and France who fought for the liberty of France. The Hon. Loan Assistant We do not applaud. But we do interest, what is what charge the house for have the expenses months, chasing the amputation the loan, same ample for rent, money two hundred or five houses the house the house. No man can tribute to such would be self-respect nothing We do propose to loan money to applicants to buy their own homes, interest, which will charge them, is what other building associations charge their borrowers. In addition, before we can buy a house, we must have the cash to give us to pay the expenses of the house for six months, and the expense for purchasing the property and the ex-tenancy will come the weekly payments on the loan, which will be about the same amount as present payments. This plan means that a sum of money varying between fifty and two hundred dollars must be in hand or saved up by the prosperous borrower, before we can buy the house. No man without money can or should buy a house. To give money would be charity, not business. No self-respecting man wants for nothing what he can afford to pay for, and no man should buy a house which he cannot afford money saved up. But we thing any man if he wants to, can save money for this purpose, and the facilities to start a savings account, in order that it may eventually be used for the purchase of a home.

The Senate refused the request and confirmed Robertson, both New York Senators immediately resigned. If a Republican Senate wanted precedent there it was. Instead it sets up the new precedent of a Republican Administration of eight months and not a single presidential appointment from among the colored people. Honorary Degree Without detracting one whit from the fitness and the value of the Foch visit to Howard and the conferring of the degree, it does seem about time that our own distinguished visitors might receive similar honors from universities. Washington is the Mecca of important personages who visit this country from other lands. Men like President King of Liberia have heretofore come to the capital and gone away without any unusual honors being shown them. Knowing Howard University as one of the leading institutions of learning, its friends expect it naturally to honor its own graduates who distinguish themselves, and also these others who have made the race their benefactors.

"THE UPWARD PATH"—Compiled by Myron T. Pritchard and Mary White Ovington. Intro- We are beginning to look about and decide what we shall get for the children at Christmas. If the like books believe there is a great gift they will do more than "The Upward Path". The compiler of this book brought together stories and autobiographies bits of travel and adventures, tales and stories and last of all charming illustrations, all by colored people. Here in this single volume is a collection. And while the book is for children everyone who likes to read will be entertained by it. have received the Upward Path and added to me the other day, and have finished the first story over which I confess I lried. This opening piece being Paul Laurence Dumbar's "Boy and good seconds", but it has many good seconds. There is a football tale by Walter F. "White entitled Victory, good stories by K. Wittner, and good stories of the most charming little fair tales of to- day. Angelina Grimke's "Land of Daughters" from her play, "We all like to read the brave deeds of other men, and, the colored child must feel a peculiar thrill when he sees the colored soldiers and explorers. As Matthew Henson journeys with Perry to the North Pole, we learn that they took no measurement of the distance. "With my proven ability in gauging distances," Commander Perry was ready to take the rocky path to solar observations to solar observations until we were within a liquid grasp of the "Pole." And what a wonderful thing to have the black man on the moon spot where the American flag first was set marking the location of the North Pole. The most African explorers of our time is the Rev. William Henry Sheppard. Mr. Sheppard went to Africa on a mission trip from the Presbyterian Church to the Congo gretiecties.

STUCK FOR FAIR An inspector was visiting a country school. He was asking some of the children questions, asking them to be a junior class: "Now, I want some to ask me a question that I cannot answer." After a few vain attempts a small boy said: "Please, sir, if you were stuck in a pool of mud up your neck and a brick was thrown at your head, would you duck?" (From twenty-five years in the Black Belt—By Wm. Edwards). At the present time every Southern State has a Superintendent of Education and a County Superintendent. These officers are elected by the people, (white People, of course). Recently, however, there have been two other offices created, State Supervisor of Education for the Negro and County Supervisor. These officers are selected and not elected. I think the officers about is a result of the efforts of the General Education Board and Dr. Dillard, and that the State Supervisors of Education are selected largely through them. Thus far all of the State Supervisors for Negro schools have been white men, and they in turn have given the power to select County Supervisors for Negro schools, all of which are colored. the payment given given when the transaction goes through. The object of this payment, which must be figured for each transaction, cannot be estimated closely in advance is not only for, the protection of the Association against loss but also to assure that you prove that he is thrifty and industrious, likely to carry out his contracts. The Homemakers has a double purpose: the improvement of the education of the development of thrift and other elements of good character among the colored people of Baltimore. It proposes as a condition of asking deposits of money from the people of Baltimore to so conduct its business as to reduce the chance of loss to a minimum; and to manage its affairs in the interest of the man who most needs help, the humble worker. It also proposes that it possible for him to buy a home and live in it as economically as needs foreign territory to expain. Nor does Japan differ from France in demanding security. That the skin-color of Japanese is the case. The problem of empire do not vary according to skin pigmentation. When states men sit down to "do business," skin-color fades as an issue. Skin color only becomes an issue when someone can also in a unknotting trouble to do it, as dishonest people do in the South and on our Pacific coast. And it would therefore be a grave mistake for colored Americans to look upon Japan's course as heroic, right or wrong, merely because the Japanese are not esteemed. The Japanese course is to be judged exactly as the course of white governments is judged. For the Japanese Government has been as reprehensibly a sinner against that other yellow-skinned people, the Chinese, and against the Koevans schools all of which are colored. These white men are not always the more wealthy, dealing with able to get the most efficient person in an open and above broad sense of such work because I, manner so that he can know what he is doing, he is doing.

Says Head of State School Should Be A Man Who Knows People's Needs (From twenty-five years in the Black Belt—By Wm. J. Edwards) At the present time every Southern State has a Superintendent of Education and a County Superintendent. These officers are elected by the people (white People, of course). Recently, however, there have been two other officers created, State Supervisor of Education for the Negro and County Supervisor. These officers are selected and not elected. I think the efforts of the General Education Board and Dr. Dillard, and I think that the State Supervisors of Education are selected largely through them. This far all of the State Supervisors for Negro schools have been white men, and they in turn have been given the power to select the County Supervisor for the Negro school. These white men are not always able to get the most efficient persons for such work because I know of a few County Supervisors here and there who are not committed to the work. That has been entrusted to them. Now as the Negro has nothing to say as to who should be his State or County Superintendent of Education, I think the matter of his State and County Supervisors he should have a word. (I thing it is right and proper that the great funds for education should be spent through the State and county officials wherever it can be done.) The State Superintendent ought to be given the power to select the State Superintendent of Education, and the County Superintendents ought to be given the same. Furthermore, as each of the State Supervisors of Education has a Negro Education Association, his Association should be a member of the Association. I think this Association should --- recommend to the State Superintendent of Education a number of persons from whom he may select the State Supervisor. In each county we have an organization, which is known as the County Teacher Institute. This organization can recommend two or more persons to the State Superintendent from whom he might select the County Supervisor. Smiles and Chuckles By W. E. R.

Seligmann (This is the fourth of a series of articles by the author of "The 12 Groes America" who is a Director of Publicity of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People). He has said that they are only nine original stories in the world, and that every one of thousands of stories publish, with publication of one true original. This has its parallel at the Armament Conference in Washington. The scene of struggle between China and Siberia, but the drama remains the same; a scramble for markets and for underdeveloped regions where labor is cheap and raw materials are plentiful. It proves that the source much of the world's difficulty in economic, that is to say, slovenian Japan becomes the hero or the villain of the drama, according to the point of view. The drama unchanged. Japan's position similar to Great Britain, Japan has her population far more than her islands can support, that she therefore needs colonies or "spheres of influence" like Manchuria, Korea, and Shanxi, to supply water, and that she needs a navy to insure open communications for her with those regions on the mainland. This is almost exactly the position of the British islands with regard to their world grouped under the title of "British Empire." Japan differs not greatly from Great Britain in her excuse for wanting a navy, but in her defense of the German city, the war in saying her population has grown too dense and needs foreign territory to expan. Nor does Japan differ for wanting the skin-color of the Japanese is "yellow" has nothing to do with the case. The problem of empire do not vary according to skin pigmentation. When sitting men sit down, the skin-color of an issue. Skin color only becomes an issue when someone can abet a mob in making trouble over it, as dishonest newspapers do in the South. It would therefore be a grave mistake for colored Americans to look upon Japan's course as heroic, right or wrong, merely because the Japanese are not white. The Japanese Government does not believe the course of white governments is judged. For the Japanese Government has been reapprehensible a sinner against that other yellow-skinned people, the Chinese, and against Koehring. It remains to be seen, in Japan fully as much as in our own country and in England. France and Italy, whether the people can force peace and small governments or whether steel and battleship makers, together with bankers and diplomats can force large navies and armies on the people, with the inevitable consequence: war and death. The people will be because the peoples of the world make their diplomats afraid to endanger that peace will be because Americans, just like the people of the United States of their servants in Washington, teach them that diplomats were made to obey and that voice they must hearken to is voice of the people. And the pie would be made to fit them, though they will get it and pay it, and no price will be as her as the price of war. But governments, being used composed of small offices of more than one million people, in close touch with the banks and other business men no way for the voice of the people to be heard except through the newspapers which, for the most part, are in the control of those very governing groups. Every government agency knows how the facts about bychings and race riots have been distorted in the white press of the United States. Similar distortion went about international affairs before the war, during the war continues now that t war is over. But it is a legitimate hope least, even if it is not an expectation, that public feeling through out the world, against war and the newspapers, the newspapers, the diplomats, a the governing cliques of moneymen. Already the pressure of public opinion in the United States is intense. Without knowing exactly how to get it, or what to do with all the shipbuilding and sailors who will be thrown out on board, that is a teeling which overrides race and race prejudice. For people are beginning to realize that race prejudice is merely another instrument, in the hands of demagogue and race prejudice. For people are beginning to use the phone (A fifth article by Mr. Seligman will appear next week.) MODERN MAXIMS Look out for the man who looks out for himself.
