'RIDERS OF THE NIGHT"AID THE KU KLUX KLAN Muskogee, Oklahoma In Ferment Over The Rise Of'A New Secret Order 488 MEN ENROLLED Colored Editor Threatened Tells Klan They Will Find Him At His Office Muskogee, Okla., Dec. 15.—This town is in a ferment since an announcement of the Daily Phoenix, white, of a new secret order by name, "The Riders of the Night." On the first page of the dailies, the Riders of the Night announced their membership to be four hundred eighty-eight men. "We do not belong to the Ku Klux Klan," says the announcement, "neither do we intend to interfere with their plans, but we do intend to help them at the drop of the hat." The firm of W. H. Twine, editor of the Cinema, a colored weekly paper in this city, received an announcement stating: "If you (ever) print another thing in your paper to incite feeling between whites and blacks we will give you a chance to show your criticism." "We intend to inform the Ku Klux Klan regarding certain things saking place in and around Muskogee. If they do not take a hand, we will." Some few days ago a bellboy at the Severn Hotel, here, one of the most aristocratic hotels of the city was seized by the Ku Klux Klan and severely beaten. He is said to have confessed having arranged intimate meetings of white women occupants with white and colored men. Mr. Twine's comment on the action of the Ku Klux is said to have drawn this retort from the Night Kiders. As a lawyer and an editor he is fitly known as a fighter. Citizens of both races are apprehensive of what will be the final outcome of the veiled strongly felt outre of the races. Each race watches the other closely and it is the general opinion that a race lot is inevitable unless the utmost caution and control are exercised. While attending to business in Oklahoma City that week, Mr. Twine gave out the following statement to the Blink Dispatch: "I have just heard of the threat against my life in Muskogee. I have for there tonight. I expect to continue the publication in my paper and I expect to fight the Ku Klux and any other un-American movement designed to hamper the progress of the black man. A awarding Klan that now seeks to intimidate me under the guise of another name will find me at my office or my home address in the day or the night." was sent to this report by reason of the fact that Mr. Brown left. Some few days ago a bellboy at the town Saturday or Sunday to bury most aristocratic hotels of the city in Pennsylvania in Peony Oaks was seized by the Ku Klux Klan and severely beaten. He is said to have confessed having arranged intimate meetings of white women people on the pavement to enter the bank on Wednesday afternoon. Pushing through a crowd of occupants with white and colored men, Mr. Twine's comment on the accusation of the APRO was informed that Mr. Brown was out of town and drawn this retort from the Night had been reported every day since Kiddes.

Those business men include George Bowers, president; Abraham Nexl, treasurer; T. Alexander Date, vice president; T. Elaw, Bowes, secretary; Wm. J. Smith, Lewis Williams, Archie Bohaway and J. M.

Harrison told a representative of the AFRO-AMERICAN that papers were prepared authorizing bills on property owned by the bank in order to secure money to pay off the 'Christmas Savings fund.' The papers await only the deposit of Mr. Brown. For this reason, investigators of the company understand why Mr. Brown has disappeared.

C., Dec. 15.—From a Washington correspondent. There will be no recommendation of clemency through in the Leavenworth penitentiary for participation in the riot at Houston on August 23, 1917, as the result of a report made to Congress today by Secretary of the War Weeks in response to the Anthony resolution. Nineteen of the colored soldiers who participated in the riot were charged at San Antonio, 62 being sent to the penitentiary for life, and 5 for 15 years each. Representative Anthony of Kansas offered a resolution asking that the cases of the men at Leavenworth be investigated, and a report made to Congress or the great that some of the men claimed to have been convicted circumstantial in that they were only sent from roll call at the time of the crime. Cases Without Parallel In reply to the resolution Secretary of War Weeks said that evidence of guilt of the men stands without explanation or contradiction, and that each of them was a willing member of the mob. He added there was no race prejudice in the trial of the men, and as to the responsibility for the riot cited that First Sergeant Henry had been organizer of the movement. Each of the men sentenced for had been tried. The report said on murder, mutiny, and assault to murder and found guilty on each charge. The Secretary of War quoted from the report of the Judge Advocate of the army that the Houston crime was without parallel in the history of the army. The Secretary added that the cases of the men convicted that he gave careful and special consideration. No Reason For Reopening Cases. In submitting the report to the House of Representatives, Representative Kahn, chairman of the committee on military affairs, said that there was no reason at this time why the cases should be reopened or taken up. Several weeks ago a delegation representing N.A.A.C. P. pressed a monster petition to convicted Harding asking that the colored soldiers in question be pardoned. Former Heavyweigh Champion In Private Interview Says Dempsey Is A Good Man But He Can Beat Him LOOKS AS YOUNG AS EVER Big Fellow In Fine Health And Is As Jolly As A School Boy By William B. Ready Jack Johnson is in Baltimore his week, appearing twice daily a the Gayety Theatre, as the star feature of "The Bathing Beauties, a burlesque organization. Of course this fact is well known to most theatre-goers and others of the city by this time, and we only set it forth in this place for the benefit of the gentleman who wrote the review of the Gayety attraction that appeared in last Tuesday morning's "Sun", who apparently unaware of the large number of colored Baltimoreans who read the "Sun" forgot (?) to mention the presence on the bill of the star attraction. The writer sought out the famous ex-heavyweight champion at his stopping place around the clock a Monday evening for the purpose of a little chat, and found back the picture of health, smiling His famous golden smile and as oval and happy as a sorcerer. In the course of the interview it was not long before we had drifted into the subject of the present heavyweight situation: "What is our opinion of Mr. Dempsey as a champion?" was our first inquiry. "Dempsey is a good man, all right, but I can beat him." was the cany. That really believe you can lick him? "We inquired confirmatively." "I know it." he replied with unmistakable conviction. "What chance do you think Harry Wills would, have with Dempsey?" "I rather not be quoted on that." Johnson answered flashing his "golden smile." We were sitting in the dining-room where the ex-champion, Gus Rhodes, his cousin and A Ketchel (white) his two traveling companions (his wife is not with him in Zaltimore) were awaiting supper. At this point his hostess came in with a high steaming steak several inches thick and several dishes of steaming vegetables. "Ah, that's the stuff," said the ex-champion as he hitched his chair up to the table and seizing the carving knife proceeded to do the honors. Presently the interview was continued. "Is there any possibility of you and Harry Wills getting together?" "None whatever," was his reply with unmistakable finality; and he continued: "There isn't any money in two colored men SALE IN BARGAIN (merely called a road louse).

The Secretary added that the cases of the men convicted had been given careful and special consideration. No Reason For Reopening Cases In submitting the report to the House of Representatives, Representative Kahn, our chairman, committee on militant affairs, said that there was no reason at this time why the cases should be reopened or taken up. Several weeks ago a delegation representing the N. A. A. C. P. presented a monster petition to President Harding asking that the colored soldiers in question be pardoned. N LICK DEMPSEY fighting each other. That was proved when Joe Waleatt and Joe Gans, two of the greatest fighters that ever lived, fought each other. Leaving the subject of pligism, we asked how he was received on his theatrical four. "Wonderful!" was his reply. "It is really humble than I had expected; this afternoon at the Gayety the audience was fine." "Why did you leave the organization a few weeks ago?" was our next inquiry. "Because I didn't care to play in Louisiana, it is too far South," was the answer. Asked as to the length of his contract and his salary, Mr. Johnson said that his salary ranged from $1,500 to $2,000 per week according to the size of the聘. that his contract would be extended as long as he cared to con- He further stated that he was thinking about taking out his own how.

J. C. Calbert, pastor of Grace Presbyterian church; Rev. W. W. Walker, pastor of Madison Street Presbyterian church; Elder Richard Mack, of Madison Street Church, and Dr. Thomas Lee, vice president of the Presbytery of Baltimore in session at the Northminster church North avenue and St. Paul street, of which Rev. David C. Bayless, white, is pastor. At luncheon hour the colored brothen were informed that a table had been prepared for them which was in a polite way, even though they were in the same dining room with the whites, jim-crowing them. The colored brothen politely, but resolutely refused to enter the dining-room. Overtures were made afterwards, but these also were refused, and the men weat to Union Station for the luncheon. Rev. W. W. Walker's comment on the affair is as follows: "The white man's religion in American society is a magnificent vision, but without a grain of vigor. His religion is like the rich young ruler, one of clear vision, but without courage. All of the troubles of the race that come from inter-racial friction can be justly placed at the door of the white American pituit. "Satan's estimate of men, as expressed in the book of Job is, 'Skin for skin. All that a man bath with he give for his life.' Evidently Satan's estimate of the white American minister is a great deaflower than that. It is something like this, 'Skin for skin.' All that the white American minister hath he give for his grab, a morsel shirt, and a paper crown of superiority. May God convert the American white minister." M.T.

C. H. Jones is the proprietor and his wife, Mrs. Jennie Creditt-Jones, well-known hair-dresser, will be the manager. The new hotel is a three-story affair with a cafeteria and lunchroom occupying the front of the first floor. Immediately behind this is the hotel dining room with fifteen mahogany four-seat tables and back of this the hotel kitchen with steam table, broiler, range and refrigerator. The rooms are steam-heated and lighted with electricity. Stairways, carpeted with green Brussels runners lead to the lobby of the hotel on the second floor and a small parlor adjoins. The rest of the second and third floors are taken up with twenty bed rooms four of which have private baths, and two public baths. Each one of the bedrooms contains a three-quarter Simmons bed, Simmons mattress and pillow, a washstand and a bureau of fumed oak. In addition, each room has outside exposure. The front room on the third floor is a dream. Its walls are finished in old rose and gray, furnishings consist of gray wicker furniture. The floor is waxed for small dances and receptions. Nothing like a hotel on this scale has ever before been attempted in Baltimore and home folks and visitors will find in it a long felt want where beauty, cleanliness and first class service are united under one rule. All the work, plastering, painting and contracting in this $65,000 structure that could be done by colored people was awarded to them. Arrangements are being made for an INSPECTION DAY, MONDAY, DECEMBER 19 OPENING DAY FOR DINNER, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 20 if decorators and finishers can complete their work by that time.

This picture was continued for two days. Special attention is called to "Hell's Hinges" the big feature in which Wm. S. Hart is the star, which will be shown on Saturday. Doyle and Doyle, and Easton and Stewart, comprise the two acts that are featuring the second week of vaudeville at the National this week. The usual dancing, singing and talking act is the offering of both these teams in this line and are being well-received. Next Monday the opening attraction will be "God's Country and the Woman" featuring Wm. Duncan and Edith Johnson. This is a 6-rel production, and every movie fan knows that when Duncan appears in a picture there is something doing. Tuesday another big movie will be offered in "Black Roses" with Sessue Hayakawa in the stellar role. This is one of the famous Japanese's greatest pictures. The opening screen attraction was the big Griffith production, "Dream Street." The management desires to call the attention of the patrons of the National, to the big screen productions which will be shown at this house the last three days of the week, namely, on Thursday, the big Italian production, "Quo adis" will be offered by Kiera Keefe Meets with Zena Keefe will be shown, and on Saturday Neil Shibman in the "The Girl From God's Country." On Wednesday "Diamonds Adrift" will be the special feature. NEW LINCOLN THE RAINBOW One of the best vaudeville bills of the season is being offered at the Lincoln this week. It comprises five acts namely, Howse and Howse, Boatner and Boatner, the Boots Hopes and Billy Sugarbear. The management of the Rainbow will install vaudeville again at this house beginning next week Oliver Pierce's "Down in Dixie" has been secured. This is one of the best colored minstrel organizations on the road. Every member of the company is a capable performer and all theatre-goers appreciate good minstrel work. Each of these acts are first class and won a big hand, but the margin of applause for individual performance, goes to Baby Corrine of the Gibson Trio. This little lady who has just about reached the age to be started to school, which will be done after this season, certainly "stopped the shrimping and cooinging which was a "knockout." She would be a riot on any stage not exceeding the "big time." The management desire to call especially to the attention of the patrons of the Rainbow, the three big pictures which will be offered the last three days of this week and especially the great Griffith production 'Broken Blossoms' which will be shown on Thursday. This is one of the finest pictures ever produced, and created a sensation in white movie houses. The Rainbow is the first colored house to get this picture with one exception since it was first produced. production *Broken Blossoms* which, of the other acts it would be will be shown on Thursday.

FRIDAY, DEC. 16, 1921 REPORTER PUTS COLOR IN WEST DIVORCE CASE Both Plaintiff and Defendant Fair Enough To Be Long To The Other Race Most Anytime Brings Charlottesville, Va., Police Force Here For Trial On Monday It took a reporter of the AFRO AMERICAN to put a little color into the West Side scene on Monday when the kill of pretty and Wesley for almost entire Wardon West for almost entire Wardon West and Harry West a brother of Charlottesville Virginia was called for trial in Circuit Court number one. Both Mr. and Mrs. West who were arrested at opposite ends of the counsel table are fair enough to be taken for white people where they are decembe and with Mr. West while attorney Wm. O. Towers, white court officials and Judge Wm. Towers were badly pooled. Wm. Towers was supervised of attorney in Washington police station, accompanied Wm. Wesley. Most of the witnesses in the case were examined last week, and it only remained for Worst to counsel to not the Charlestonville chief of Police and his assistant on the stand for brief testimony. The police swore that the Merrill Parkwell house in Charlestonville into which Mrs. Worst detectives tried West finding him in his underclothes had the general population of a disorderly house run for white people. The testimony of the Charlestonville police was introduced by Mr. West in order to break down the allegation of the detectives who said they found him there. He attempted to bring out the fact that the house was for white only and a colored man would not have been admitted. Taking into account the fact that Mr. West is very fair, I saw a Davis attached a copy of the affidavit sufficient to impress the fact that two detectives had seen West enter the house and one of them saw him disrobed. Both attorneys were willing to submit the case without argument, but Judge Heubler declared that his memory of some phase was healed and accounted for the latter part of the week.

HAPPENINGS AT THE BALTIMORE SCHOOL OF MUSIC The Assistant Teachers are making good at the Baltimore School of Music, and the pupils are showing rapid growth under their training.

SAVED TIME AND MONET ently, I read an article in the AFRO, where the more School of Music was giving a free violin class, who agreed to take forty lessons, and since I had never desire to study the violin and made up my mind to take up the proposition. Two of my friends could discourage me in this attempt. One childish could not learn to play on a cheap violin and another said, it was impossible to learn anything at lessons. This is one instance. I am glad to say which I was not easily influenced. I finally decided to sent to the School and made my arrangements for a three-Months Course, in two months' time I was able to most any elementary or medium-grade music class position. This speaks nothing for the sunshine applause it has brought into our home. My sister the piano and mother and father are overjoyed on a Sunday evening concerns. Other who used to always have an engagement super, now finds more time at home to practice mandolin, and my friend who feared that I could turn on a cheap violin, is always on hand at our home brine-full of compliments and congratulations on the violin surely can't be so disagreeable as she sat or as she was told it would be. A PUFFL. Recently I read an article in the APRO, where the Baltimore School of Music was giving a free violin to pupils who agreed to take forty lessons, and she had a sinecise desire to study the violin and made up my mind to take up the proposition. Two of my friends tried to discourage me in this attempt. One claimed that I could not learn to play on a cheap violin and the other said, it was impossible to learn anything in forty lessons. This is one instance. I am glad to say, in which I was not easily influenced. I finally decided and went to the School and made my arrangements for study. Notwithstanding the fact that this school offers a Three-Months Course, in two months time I was able to play most any elementary or medium-grade music in the first position. This speaks nothing for the sunshine and happiness it has brought into our home. My sister plays the piano and mother and father are employed at our Sunday evening concerts. Breaked, who used to always have an engagement after super, now finds more time at home to practice his mandolin, and my friend who feared that I could not learn on a cheap violin, is always on hand at our musicals brim-fall of compliments and congratulations. So the violin surely can be so disagreeable as she thought or as she was told it would be. A PUPIL. A CLOSE OBSERVER While I was taking the Three-Months Course at the Baltimore School of Music, I would frequently hear outsiders discuss the following subject: "How can a teacher teach the violin at the piano?" and "How could a pupil be taught to play correctly in three months?" and such absurd conclusions would finally be pushed; that the only way a violin pupil could be taught by this method was for the teacher to draw away at a key on the piano until the pupil found the corresponding tone on the violin, by sliding his fingers around on the strings. Heiric these discussions made me all the more interested in the method by which I was being taught. First of all I observed that all new students I came to them whether it conceived motion or motion-finishing or howing was concerned from the whole alone and not from the piano. Secondly I observed that the assistance from the piano was only to keep me in perfect time and in perfect time. Thirdly I observed a nun who had been taught by a teacher who was a priest, but he did not know the piano. This would howing was good and his songs were true even in the higher positions, but when he began to handle classical numbers they called for piano accompaniment, he was literally at sea and it was quite difficult for him to play with anyone else but himself. Soiling his pitable condition he was adjusted to easily move with the piano, which he was allowed to do with excellent results. It so hammed that I snout the summer in another city, and not wanting to lose any time from my studies I went to one of the oldest Conservatories in America and secured the services of the violin professor there. Starting under a new instructor I was anxious to know what would be his impression of my work. I wondered whether he would say that my position was wrong or my fingering or time was incorrect, or that my bow was not held properly or something of the kind; but, to my agreeable surprise, I was complimented on my fingering and given additional exercises to supplement my former studies. Then, to my greater surprise, at each lesson I had to play with the piano, and when my summer course was ended, he had ordered me a collection of numbers to be studies with piano accompaniments, which I brought home with me and I am now continuing these studies at the Baltimore School of Music. I again observe that all well-stocked music scores carry a line of folios such as: Cormorant with Piano, Trombone with Piano, Clarinet with Piano, Saxophone with Piano, and Violin with Piano, etc., all of which brings me to the conclusion that it is a great advantage to the pupil if his or her teacher can not only teach the Cornet, Trombone, or the Violin, etc., but can play and teach the Piano as well. 4.

Wilkerson Who Recently Succeeded Roscoe C. Bruce Is Making Good Five Hundred Teachers Divided Into Four Divisions To Ease Administration By Ike Murray Washington, D. C., Dec. 15—Tactfully progressive, the new school administration, under the efficient supervision of Prof. Garret C. Wilkerson, Assistant Superintendent in charge of the Washington Colored Public Schools is moving in a fashion to foreshadow the best possible results for the school. Approximately 20,000 children receive instruction in these schools with 500 teachers or more to instruct them. Four divisions cover the school territory with a supervising principal attached to each to look after details. These divisions embrace buildings only where elementary work is done." High Normal and Special departments come under direct supervision of the Superintendent of Schools. Though quite a busy man the latch string is always on the Superintendents office outside and having business, find no trouble in getting a hearing. For most departments found at Franklin Building, Central headquarters for everybody. When Supt. Wikerson last September stepped into the official harness, he pledged to the citizens of Washington that no pain would be spared as far as human effort would permit him, to give the boys and girls, who sought it, every possible advantage in the way of educational development. That promise has been kept. Early and late he is seen at his desk buried in the vast amount of routine affairs that gone from the several subordinate school presidents for a few months, interviewed a few more fights are, his office, the Superintendent was gracious, talked freely and made it known that his policy would be mainly to broaden the different phases of the school curriculum. He intimated that there were some points that should not be discussed, while others called for more liberal treatment. "There should be a junior high school in each division," he declared. This would relieve congestion in the senior departments and also feed them from time to time. Then they would feature I would like to see added is "Signification School". "This those who cannot go to school during regular hours, enroll at the close of the school day, between 3 and 6 p.m., and other stuff in the evening. A good plan don't you think so?" Texas Holds Dallas, Texas. Decs.—More people were murdered in Texas last year than in the whole British Empire, declared Governor Nell Erikson, public sentiment against lynching.

There weren't enough spectators in the Philadelphia National League stand to pay ticket sellers. the players are to be commanded for their sportsmanship. There wasn't any reason why they should go out there and take a chance. They had nothing to fear from the spectators. Referee Lars had gone right up there in the stand and given him the air without assistance, but those boys were there to play football and they proposed to go through with it even though it became necessary for them to club together and pay for the rent of the grounds. **Foot With A Foot** It was a perfectly good dollar gambit game at that. The cash counter saw the All-Collegians seven-seven—count—unveen gambitdowns, from which one goal was kicked. More than that, he saw one of the most remarkable goalads the writer has seen in a year of Saturdays. This contribution was furnished by one S.

Moore got that ball away from his nobody known, beast of all, S. Moore himself. Anyhow, he got his trussy toe on the leather somehow, and a moment later trumpet sairied from out of that cloud of Collegians, mounted higher and until it leaped gravelly on the roost, the roost and over for S. Moore, and everyone who used S. Moore's kicking style KNEW it was run. It took S. Moore half a minute to achieve this field goal. During the other 15 minutes of the game it was "all-collegians." The things which the Phillies did to the colored citizens was aplenty—it was even more than that. They smashed the line for substantial gains, executed forward passes with neatness and aplum when they tired of the rushing game, and never were forced to kick. The visitors gained, only two first downs, both of which came in the final period when they got the ball in midfield and added a second down. S.

Price Free With Big Afro HOW TO DRAW CARTOONS PUTTING IN ACTION AND PEP One of the hardest things for the young cartoonist is to get his sketches full of action, pep. His figures are often so very stiff they spoil the effect of his cartoon. For these practice sketches, use a medium soft pencil and plain white paper. It will be easier if your paper is mounted on a drawing-board or even a bread-board. The "oval system" will help you to "lay out" your figures correctly. First, draw a small oval for the head, then another about three times as long for the body. Add stems for the arms, legs, feet, hands. Note figure 1. Sketch in to see what you can do with the oval figures. Try putting them in the different positions shown in the illustrations, such as figures 2 and 3.

Five minutes after the whistle, it was apparent to experienced rooters, the local team was outclassed, and that the players could do was to keep their heavier and more experienced opponents from piling up a huge score. The game marked the initial appearance of the Lincoln "machine" on the field, and the impression that they will make it hot for any team they meet. The "Y" team lacked team-work and experience, but nevertheless, put up a game fight. Wheatland was the bright particular sur for Lincoln, scoring 24 points, 10 field goals, contributing to his total of points. Gibson and Shields divided scoring honors for "Y" each having a field goal and two foul goals to his credit. The latter, although still a youngster, lacks nothing in grit, just can shoot well.

WILBERFORCE Ohioans Have Already Begun Preparations For Next Season's Grid Battles Wilberforce, Ohio, Dec. 13. Wilberforce's 1922 football season has already begun. Undisplays by their defeats at the hands of Lincoln, Fisk and West Virginia Institute, the Ohioans have already turned their attention to next year. Tenative plans are already underway to h ave a line coach added to the coaching staff. "Duke" Slater, All-American tackle of Iowa, and "Pep" Jefferson, All-Ohio Conference center, have been named as possible choices. Head coach "Wickey" Taylor, the former Oberlin College flash, will again have full command of the squad. The schedule for 1922 is not yet completed and games are being sought with Lincoln at Philadelphia; Howard at Chicago; Morris Brown at Atlanta; Roger William at Nashville, Tenn.; Kentucky Normal, at Frankford, Ky.; Chilicothe A. C., Kentucky State; Fisk and West Virginia Institute, at Wilberforce. Brady Tripp, left-end on this year's football team, was re-elected captain for 1922. Tripp hails from Amherst, Ga., and has played in the varsity for past two years. He has been mentioned by several sport writers and coaches as an All-American selection.

CLUB Lightning Passers Of Winners Too Much For Blue and Gray Before a crowd that has solemn been equalled in size at a basketball game, the Althiopian blue and Gray machine was compelled to bow to the Baltimore,篮球 club (white), a team composed of some of the best players from several of the local teams. The announcement of the game, held for the Allied Club of Baltimore (white) to be the opponents of the Athenians, but it was found at a late date that this team could not appear and the strong Baltimore club took the floor. For the first five minutes of play it was a nip-and-tuck affair, but at this period the Blue and Gray men started fouling repeatedly with the result that before the half was ended eight points had been garnered by their opponents from free throws. Clerk of the Baltimore Club, uniting in this game, missing only three of the seven attempts to shoot fouls in the first period and chalking up three more in the last half. The Blue and Gray was putting up a sterling game, however, in the first part, and Pobles, who played a wonderful game throughout counted five free throws and one goal which constituted all but three of his team's scoring during this half. Brown also scored a beautiful goal in following a wonderful piece of team work and pass, and scored right eight under the basket where it was criss-crossed into the cage. The half ended with the score standing: Baltimore Club, 14; Athletics, 19. The second half held a rosy aspect for the local for the first ten minutes of play, during which time they gained enough points to PAGE EIGHT RUBE FOSTER SPEAKS OUT Baseball Magnate Says Game Among Colored People Needs Business Men A PAYING INVESTMENT Two Men With $3,000 Made $30,000 In Two Years By Afro Sports Editor Andrew "Ruhe" Foster, owner of the American Giants baseball club (colored) and recognized as one of the greatest baseball authori- ties in the country regardless of coy is writing a series of antho- setting forth the short-comings and heads of Negro baseball. In the first of these articles, under the caption "What Colored Baseball Needs," Mr. Foster goes on to say: "What we need is a set of men in each city, along the following lines: Ten men at one thousand, dollars each, or twenty men at five hundred each, which would amount to ten thousand dollars. They could get a franchise in the league and operate a club. In this way, any set of influential men in any city would be able to realize a lowest possible estimate of more ten per cent on the investment." And in proof of this, he cites the instance of two men whose out-lay did not exceed three thousand dollars, and yet in two years they made thirty thousand dollars on the investment. Another thing that I needed says Mr. Foster is the moral support of men who are worth while in these cities. In conclusion Foster says: "These clubs can be bad, and surely with our boasted talent for finance and the ability to listen to a straight forward business proposition and at the same time help raise the Negro from their thought of being a thing of sympathy, crying that the world is against him, the has made no effort to improve conditions." Mr. Foster further states that if any set of men in any city raise the ten thousand dollars necessary to organize a club he will arrange, a meeting and give them the plans to formulate an organization and run it themselves. Here is a chance for the business men of allimore to get busy and see that this city gets a league that it will be possible to see the big colored teams in action there. There is money in baseball and we can't see to save our life why some of our colored business men of this city don't get into the game and cope with it. every the score 23-23; time and again, Poles and Brown would bring the crowd to their feet by spectacular shots, but the white boys kept pegging away and by lightning-like plays scored basket after basket until they nearly broke the spirit of the local boys, who seemed to overtake them powerfully again only to be trailed in the dust by the superstar field work of their opponents.

SECOND CHAPTER The Virgin stood gaping at Beatrix Marley like a traveler in the woods at a rattlesnake and at a dog after an oppressive silence. "I'm pleased to meet you. Miss Marley." "No, you are not," she said, fushing everything in your face and voice shows it. You almost shrank back when you heard my name. No. You don't like me Mr. Virgin." "Virgin?" he said, started. "How did you know my nickname?" you suppose the locks have told me all about you? I think it is a saddleddid for a boy to have such a nickname, and now that you I'm sure you deserve it. The nickname is one of decision, not of praise." he said trowning. Ah, no." said Beatrix tenderly. "I'll be piled in derision, but see what it is today. Oh, look. Mr. Virgin, the fight is over and the trolleys are running again. Suppose we go The two went out to take a trotley. The Virgin gripped the girl's arm to help her board the car and the man knew that a human arm could be so soft. His rough fingers seemed to press it down almost to nothing. But it was the livest, most known. It made every flare of his hand and arm tangle with strange pleasure. In a moment they were treated side by side in the car. It was delayed by the Bloody Monday, and they barely found room to squeeze into their seats. "We'll have to cuddle," she said mischievously. "I'll give the Virgin, whose chest was trembling as he breathed. This warm, vital, palpitating woman close beside him, her doused fumbled checks and liquid spills from her mouth as she touched them, the curls that felt chover her forehead, live and sparkle." TRAINED NURSE AVERAGE LIFE IS TEN YEARS Moving Heavy Patients Said To Take Years Off Life. The trained nurse was a graduate of one of the best hospitals in America. However, she herself was one of the best nurses in the country with the highest life experience made in her own hand and in France during the war. The patient had reached the point in convalescence when she was sitting up in a big chair and demanding her attention. She properly, the nurse put her off with some confidence about the profession which were interesting enough to distract her attention. "You have heard it said," the nurse began, "that the average life of a trained nurse is ten years. That is, that she can bear only ten years of active service. I believe that is true. But I don't believe that she has even ten years of active service. I think the ten years include her three years of training, which are certainly as strenuous as her utter- "But that is appalling!" said the patient. "If it's really so I suppose it explains why fewer women year ago are taking nurses, rather than do you account for the breakdowns" Simply Wanted to Death "In four words," said the nurse curtly, "we're worked to death. The trained nurse is selected on her behalf every moment of the time she is with her, if the patient's condition is serious. (Now, she is on duty twelve hours a day, and the chances are that with a medical case, she is jumping during those entire twelve hours. Just fancy coming on duty at seven in the morning, if you are a day nurse, and working for all there is in you, you are relieved by a slight nurse a day evening!" "In the old days," she interpolated, "when people were just beginning to employ trained nurses, they thought one trained nurse, enough, would get a few hours of sleep at night, they reasoned, while the patient slept, and during the afternoon some member of the family would take her place in the sick room, took a walk. The nurse talked about five years under that system, so it was changed to the present arrangement by which all who can afford it have both a nurse and a a nurse, but it gives the patient and the nurse a better chance. No nurse who is or call twenty-four hours a day can do justice to her patient." "My night nurse is paid as much as you are," pointed out, "yet she can possibly work half as hard. She must average six or seven hours of sleep every night, but now I sleep more than that myself. Those. Night. Crises." "A nurse can always sleep just when her patient is sleeping," the nurse explained. "Besides night work, she is rather depressing. There's big pressure on her. She covers the serious issues." ling, the full-bowed red lips now moving rapidly, now pursed in pensiveness, and the rich, half-singing voice—the Virgin was not used to all this. His heart began to beat too well, his head was ready. "Do you like me any better than you did at first?" she asked pleadingly. "Because if you don't I'll feel awfully disappointed." "Of course I like you." he said nuckly and none to calmly. quicky and don't say it right," she said. "You say it like a busy man at the telephone. That's very hard on a girl who has waited until at your sophomore year to meet you. In "I came here to study," said the Virgin, stiffly. "and to let the girls in." And so far you've done it, she said with a slow smile. "But you don't, can keep us out of your plan," she now well lay your plans. Tonight's a chance at meeting proved that. Why, any my girl would be glad to know a fine, straightly unlucky fellow like you. I The Virgin was not prepared for such a direct attack. His innocent idea of girls was the one he never until some man found them and then let themselves be dragged reluctantly out. It was the first time a girl had been found in the house himself, and no young man or old one either is proof against the flattery of a pretty girl. The Virgin actually began to think Bertrix Marrion was living to touch like a hermit. "The next street is mine," she said looking out of the windows. They got off, and as a homeowner, she reached it. It was a nice comfortable. Boston-looking brick house in a good part of the city. The girl showed the Virgin into it. "It is still early," she said. "you might stay a while. For all I know you might go back into your shell and not let me see you The Virgin sat down and Beatriz Marley went upstairs to take off her hat and coat. The Virgin looked curiously around him. He had bought of anything but going over his books and then going to bed, and here he was. in a Boston home for the first time in his college career. The thing was an adventure. Almost before the Virgin had time to take in his surroundings Beatriz rushed downstairs and stood poised on the threshold like a vision. She had looked pretty before; now she was beautiful, usually come at night. Don't you remember that week when you had sinking spells every night? Miss Daly told me they took years off her life. That's what wore out her life. That's the responsibility and the worry. "Another big cause," she went on, "is the lifting. Just watch a small nurse lift a helpless patient in bed, and try to realize how many times she has to lift her twelve hours and you have one big cause of breakdowns. Half the nurses now in service have injured themselves internally by lifting alone. There should always be someone around to help a nurse to lift a heavy object, but isn't, once in a hundred times." "What do the nurses do when they break down?" asked the nurse. "Oh," said the nurse, "That's another story!" ALL FURS STYLISH FOR THIS SEASON Fashionable Metal Girdles, Are Not Hard To Make Either Every fall and winter 'season brings out the joy of golf, but one, one was able to place a finger on the pelt of the moment and say, "This is the fashionable fur this year." It is in the absence of the new fur, all other furs that this season is unique. For, if a tour of the shops or the furs seen on Fifth Avenue is a criterion, any fur that is becoming the fur for the shops is not. It doesn't follow either that the fur must cost a king's ransom although it has been recently ruined that there are fur furs for a fortune's lavaged daughters that have cost as much at $80,000, as long as the effort is made for effect and style, with the cost the secondary con- As long as the inexpensive fur is in favor, many costumes elegant in appearance, but trifling in detail. Take for instance, a coat suit of breadcloth collared and banded with chinchilla. The breadcloth may be the background of fur or the fur must be chinchilla, if another suit, less expensive, will serve the same purpose. The original model, made of wool and velvet sleeves, cuffed at the wrist and the skirt of the coat reaching the hem of the garment underneath, hung in panels, which had bands of fur or large chinchilla. Large lattices of the material, which lifted into velvet bound buttonholes, adorned the front of the garment. A gardee of the material over which the garment was worn, perfectly plain, having a self-stitching as a finish. Decorative interest at the present moment centers around the girdle the frock adopts, which is made by the waistline appear as large as possible by means of padded girdle effects, or fur trimming through velvet loops. We also make the waistline appear for they are playing a very important part in the season's decorations, and many of the newer styles show a foundation of black or white which are strong fancy metal or shell buckles at intervals, or cabochons in jet, or some combination of doubles of the precious or shim-precious metal. Inquiry finds that, these, newly evolved girdles are quite expensive if priced too high. Needle women can in a few hours' time, and at very little expense, copy anyone that happens to strike her fancy. Many of the girdles are a nominal sum, and with a little ingenuity a most unusual girdle may be fashioned. At any rate, with the making seems worth trying. sik, her face and hair reflected the color, and her eyes shone like stars on a clear summer night. "I didn't mean to keep you waiting so long," she said, going to the piano. "Do you wish me to sing?" The Virgin did; and she took up the piece which had made innu- mune to her. "Voues Avez Beau." She seemed to have difficulty turning the leaves, so the Virgin went over to turn her for her and look down on her waving mass of line black hair. It is all in vain to implore me. Not to let her image beguile her. It was ever before me. And her smile. Bearatrix Marley put herself in the song, her voice moaning and sobbing, then blazing out in high tones, while the goddess of the verse she looked up sidewise at the Virgin. His eyes were douring her, his heart was shaking his body as a powerful engine shakes the ship, and the goddess of it shakes their eyes half met; she took her her away and began the second verse. And all through it she ran the undercurrent plea: "Like me! Like me! Like me!" she did not raise her eyes; she shut them, as in an effort at self-mastery. Virgin fought with himself to keep his hands from hers, for she had changed her face in the stanza and made it apply directly to their talk on the trotley car. It is all in vain to remember Memories of him away to keep. For if he will choose to wear them The change from 'her' to 'him' and from 'she' to 'he' went through the Virgin's whole being. And now the head he head thrown back, her face upturned. There was a tense silence, their breath rose and fell together. Then far down in her breast she began the third; gradually the room thrilled with the sound. The Virgin's head swam, the keys shimmered before the mist in his eyes. Beatrix song and sang as if she were drowning in the song—'I can die! I can die'—the sob burst out and cut them short. She flung her folded arms on the keys and dropped her glorious head upon them, powerfully. For an instant she lay thus, then she lifted her fushed face and weyed to the Virgin. "Beatrix," he said in delirium, his drums roundly sounded round her. "The drum turned to hers. 'Beatrix' (The drum turned to hers.)"

Parker heat up two policemen and was himself badly beaten when officers rushed a dance at Park Avenue, a wild cat and at Johns Hopkins Hospital it took the doctors, nurses and orderlies present to strap him on the operating table while morphine was used to tie the man. The judge was found one hundred dollars on two assault charges and sixty dollars for disturbing the peace. On a writ of censorari and habeas corpus against Pendleton, urging Parker, brought the matter before Judge Stein in the City Court. He claimed that Parker was not given a fair chance at the police duty, whether he wanted a court trial or marshalize trial. M. McLean, white, a Hopkins physician, testified that with the severe beating over the head, Joe Parker, a drinker in Parker, he did not have surfaced. Magistrate Rohder protested against reduction of the fine and said that Parker had had a chance to choose what kind of trial he wanted. The stork visited the house of Prof. and Mrs. A.

WILLIAMS STANDS PAT Smiles Victoriously At Neighbors Who Called Her Home Disorderly Mrs. Liberta Williams, 1226 Drud Hill avenue, charged with keeping a bawdy house, was found not guilty by Judge Stanton of Criminal Court 3 last month. It was one of the most interesting cases of its kind, and the court was backed to the doors. A petition signed by about forty- two persons asking the courts to order Mrs. Williams to move from the neighborhood was presented. Some of the most interested men saw anything direct going on in her home testified that they saw men and women maked standing at the windows and that girls from 12 to 15 years old carried bodily in the house by men. Attorney Stevenson, representing the defense, asked why they never reported the house to the officer on the heat or to the round server answer. Sergent Wilhelm, of the Northwestern District, testified that he and his men raided her house last summer and found men gambling. She was fired $100,000 and charged with stealing a Champman, which she refused to do. Judge Stanton, in meting out a lecture to the petitioners said, "Where I live, my back yard runs to Parish alley, and I can stand in front of him and shoot one another, and when I get tired watching them I go in my house and shut the door. I have no authority to make them move, I don't have to move. Now, if you people stay in your house you won't see what this woman does, and if you don't want to be around her, move. Without calling Mrs. Williams, any of her witnesses, who were mostly white, noticed witnesses whom were mostly white, the stand. he found her not guilty.

VETERAN ACTOR PRESENTS "HAMLET" Former Baltimorean Now In His Seventies Gives Interesting Reading From Shakes perean Tragedy Mr. Hurle Bavardo, a 'former Baltimorean, who has been before the public as a dramatic reader of the works of Shakespeare and other classic authors for the past fifty years, appeared at St. Mary's Hall last Wednesday evening in some of the more 'important scenes of "Hamlet." For several reasons, not the least of which is his age (he is now last 70). It would be charitable to criticise Mr. Bavardo's performance from an historic standpoint. At that, there were moments in his readings when there flared up a fleeting spark of keen interpretative insight that characterize the true actor. For the most part; however, the chief interest in his performance was to be found in his ability to memorize the long bombastic speeches that Shappearean has put into the mouth of the melancholy Danish Prince. These speeches however, in the mouth of Mr. Bavardo, lost much of their effectiveness as a result of his too rapid delivery. He gave the impression at times, of one in haste to finish a disagreeable task. Nevertheless, all things considered, he deserves great credit for his attempt to bring to us something besides the trush that is served up to us eternally, as entertainment for the audience. Included of Mrs. Patine Burke as the queen, Miss Lizette Giles as Ophelia, L. Praezier as Horatio, Delaney Stone as the ghost: V. Holly and W. Plates. It was apparent that there had not been sufficient rehearsals to bring out the best work on the part of his supporting cast, and taking this fact into consideration, they acquitted themselves finely. Especially was this true of Mr. Stone and Miss Giles; the former delivering the long speech of the ghost with much impressiveness, and the latter's interpretation of Ophelia's mad scene being such as to win a spontaneous burst of aplaeuse from the audience, all in full of the players with the exception of Miss Giles, were appropriate costumes. Bernard Butler was stage manager. There was a good-sized audience present who seemed to appreciate the efforts of the veteran actor. Dancing was indulged in after the performance. Mr. Bavardo is making a tour of the Eastern States. W. E. R. Chas. Grammich and a group of associates in Miami, Fla. have organized the Tropical Photoy Co. to produce colored pictures. "Shuffling Jane" is the name of the first release. The artist, leading lady in the "Sport of the Gods" produced by the Reel Co. will be the featured artist.

A condensed version of the principal scenes of the play was given a very intelligent and capable performance to be highly congratulated for their efforts in attempting so serious a drama.

Movement Declared Not To Mean That All Negroes Should Emigrate By W. El R. The Honorable Marcus Garvey Provisional President of the African Communities League, head of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and president of the Black Star Line steamship company, came to Baltimore last week and addressed two large meetings in the interest of his "back to Africa" movement. The first meeting was held at the Zion A. M. E. Church on Wednesday evening, and the second was held at the new National Hall in East Baltimore on Thursday. Large audiences greeted the visitors on both occasions, and those among them who were in sympathy with the speaker's program, "made the welkin ring" with aplause. Before the meetings were called to order, ten black Star Nurses dressed with white caps with a black cross on the front and another black cross on their arm, marched around the hall, behind a man carrying the United States flag and the African Communities League flag, the latter composed of three colors, green, red and black. Behind the nurses came about a dozen men; members of the local branch of the association, wearing a ribbon of green, red and black across their breast and a green red and black ribbon in the lapel of their cots. Bringing up the rear, was the Hon. Marcus Jackson, accompanied by one of the leading local female workers of the organization. As they neared the speakers' stand, the procession halted and stood at attention, the flags were arched and Mr. Garvey and his companion filed through and mounted the headstones. He is no gagging the fact that Mr. Garvey is an orator. He knows how to build his oratorical climaxes so that like an avalanche, they thunder down upon his hearers and sweep them off their feet, so to speak. He also possesses a delectable sense of humor, and no little wit, which he uses to good advantage in driving home his points. No Mr. Garvey first organized his association, it was said—justly or unjustly, we know not—that his program was militant, that it is to say, that he meant to form all Negroes of the world into an army for the purpose, of driving the white races of the world out of Africa. If this was formerly a program, seemingly he now abandoned completely, for peace, forgiveness and forgiveness was burden of his discourse on Thursday evening. He told his audience to pay no attention to the white nations when they serag among themselves, but to lay low and get everything they could get out of the serag. And he went on to predict that although, during the war, the Allies were calling the Germans, Huns and the Slavs, that in five years he expected to see an German Kaiser not only in Germany either as Emperor or private citizen, but as a visitor to this country and be received at the White House. In referring to what he claimed to be a misrepresentation of the Garvey movement, he said that it was not the purpose of this organization to denounce this country, the West Indies or any other country, of its Negro Indian immigrants, but that the establishment of an African empire would insure Negroes and some protection, security and equality of citizenship by this and other nations that are shown to citizens of other countries that have a home-land to enforce their rights. In picturing the advantages that an African empire would offer to Negroes he went on to say that the Negro would be the most blest of all the races the world has ever known, for in returning to Africa, the Negro by reason of his wide dissemination in the past among all the civilized nations of the world, had imbibed deeply of these civilizations and would take the best that these nations had birthed and study discovered, back to Africa ready for use. This declaration now shows the members of his empire in the audience, and I suspect, a goodly number who were not members, into a frenzy of cheering that lit up the building. This state of enthusiasm was reelected a few moments later when he told them that, whereas, now they go to college and lend political economy, with no possible use for it other than to them. For an older man whom that is when the Emuire emuire is established, they can become president, an emperor of one of the states.

BROWN Dispatch from Pittsburgh, Pa. announces the arrest of Patrolman Rufus Pinckney, of the Central police district, on the charge of bigamy. Patrolman Pinckney is a Baltimore boy and was a servant in the city during the war and was decorated three times for bravery. Pinckney's first wife is Miss Austine Bell, this city, whom he married in May, 1913. When he was appointed a member of the police force in Pittsburgh, he married Miss Jessie McCarver, on August 19, 1920. At the hearing before the police, board Monday he declared he did not know he was a servant in the city and that Pittsburgh girl before he had secured a divorce from the Baltimore girl.

Mack Of His Wife And Minister Who He Says Stole Her Love FORGAVE HER ONCE Now Refuses Any Reconciliation Following Her Second Downfall "I wish I had shot them both," dramatically declared Rev. John D. Mack, 1615 Long Street, last week to a representative of the AFRO-AMERICAN, the "shot" referred to by his wife Mack, Mack and Rev. Emmett Warfield, pastor of Centennial Baptist Church whom he is suing for $10,000 damages with the charge of alienating his wife's affections. Rev. Mack was evidently rolled by statements of Rev. Warfield and Mrs. Mack appearing in issue of the AFRO-AMERICAN, the statements both declared themselves innocent of any wrong doing. "We have been married eleven years," Rev. Mack told the reporter, "up to a short while ago I had implicit confidence, in my wife. I worked as an engineer at Sparrows Point and with big firms on war contracts and often made one hundred dollars per week. She was home and had nothing to do. She looked at the house and prepare my meals the day. The first night I caught them in the act of breaking the Seventh Commandment, both promised never to do it again and I forgave them. "I loved my wife and we continued to live as man and wife. "I heard of her defections before I discovered them a second time. Since then offers of reconciliation have been of no avail. My home has been ruined. I have taken the matter to the courts. "When told that both parties denied any knowledge of wrong doing, it was with which I had shot them, for it would then be impossible for them to make any such idiosyncrasies."

Poppe, white, Captain of the schooner Lillian Kerr, who shot him in the back during a voyage from Jacksonville, completed here a few days ago. Howell had sued for $5,000. This shooting up of sailors on the high seas is the sort of indulgence by Captains that should be paid for, the court added.

Saying "white civilization" is the big job. It cannot be done praising the loot and lynching "niggers." Vote On Anti-Lynching Bill All eyes will be turned to the House of Representatives Thursday afternoon, where the Antlynching Bill is scheduled to come up for a vote. Representative Dyer of Illinois, Republican, father of the measure, announced late last week, that the consent of the Rules Committee of the House had been secured to vote on that date after a limited debate. Senator France has a similar measure ready to beroduced in the Senate. The House ought to be congratulated if it makes the debate in fact LIMITED. As shown in another edition on this page, there have been thirty-eight unpunished lynchings since the bill was introduced in Congress for the first time this year. While the House Judiciary Committee considered and debated its form and probable constitutionality, the wild and lawless South went on with its practice of such violence and lynchings. We believe that President Harding was sincere in his first message to Congress, when he asked the nation's lawmakers to devise legislation that would put an end to BARBARY LYNCHING. We think the Home leaders were honest in their intention that the last session was so full of the tariff, taxation and other vital problems that the ANTI-LYNCHING BILL must wait until the presed session. We know that the Southern Democrats will put off a vote by an appeal to State's Rights, and non-in interference. It takes no close observer of Congress to note these things, and so we are certain, that the House is dead right in LIMITING DEBATE and calling for THE VOTE. Not That Kind Of Freedom If there was any doubt in the minds of the white people of Arkansas as to the innocence of the colored prisoners under death sentence in the state prison for alleged participation in the Elline riots, it must have been dispelled by geek. 1819 these six men have reprived of their liberty, as must believe unjustly, while their friends fought the case through the state tribunals and up to the Supreme Court. They have been on the verge of death so often, that their being alive today, would seem a miracle, if it were not known that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People had expended eleven thousand dollars in their defense. These alleged Elaine rioters making one of the gamest fights for life in the history of the Southwest were offered a chance to break fall with Tom Slaughter, the notorious white criminal, who with six THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL Satisfaction is expressed for the purchase of the two acres bounded by Carey, Baker streets for $100,000.

It is intended that the construction work shall go on without interfering with the old buildings. At the completion of the new school, the old structures are to be razed. With the city's part of the work under way, the colored people of the city seem in a fair way to realize their fifteen year old dream of a new and adequate building for their children. There remains, however, a good deal to be done. The new building will not be adequate to the needs of the pupils, teachers, and the community, unless these elements unite now in submitting to the architect plans for the features they desire embodied in the completed structure. Naturally enough there must be an ample number of classrooms, properly lighted, heated and ventilated to care for the needs of such a school for the next ten years. In addition there must be shops and laboratories for the sciences, manual training and domestic art departments of the school. The alumni of the school have already expressed themselves in favor of a gymnasium, and assembly hall large enough to seat all the pupils of the school, which would be available for certain kinds of community activities, and shower baths and lockers, also open at specified times for public use. The Commission suggests that one of the old buildings may be saved and utilized for a gymnasium, and perhaps this may provide adequate facilities.

Wealth became a bur- Cuba Rebukes Uncle Sam Signs of revolution or change can very often be discovered among university students before they become political problems. Historically this has been true in the case of the French, German and Russian revolutions, and in other instances, where not quite so much was at stake. The latest instance comes from Havann. Cuba, where the university students protested effectively against the conferring of honorary degrees upon General Leonard Wood and General E. H. Crowder. The students' point of view is contained in the following paragraph taken from the New York Nation of yesterday: "In the present crisis which this country is undergoing, without the necessary supplies in our schools, with our buildings half completed, our library lacking in books, the public teachers of the interior famished and in debt, our Government insulted and scorned as in Santo Domingo and Haltt, it is an imprudence which stings us to the core to think for a moment that our University is to be lashed to the chariot of victorious Yankee imperialism . . . as a justification for the numerous intrigues which are being perpetrated to hand over our country to foreigners." Last week; it was observed in these columns that the United States might expend some of its energy directed towards world peace to the development of an efficient American colonial policy. Backing up our contention of United States' mis-rule in Haiti Santo Domingo' and Central America Cuba clinches the argument. The counterpart of the young white man, who turned down a fortune in New England recently to stay at his job of tilling the soil has been discovered in Louisiana. She is a colored washerwoman. Some years ago, this woman left her home, where it was hard to eke out an existence on the farm, and took up residence in the city where NING: "THE VA A Three Million on every hand with the city's site, located in the square, Calhoun and Cumberland.

Fate and chance combined to make her one of the richest women in America. Oil was discovered on her property, and its value rose from a few hundred dollars to three millions. As a washerwoman, she led a quiet and peaceful existence. As a millionniness, troubles came by the wholesale, and she had to secure a corps of lawyers to defend her rights, look after her incomg and ward off squatters. Wealth became a burden, and she lived in constant fear of being robbed or murdered. She had not the training to manage her fortune, she could not live a life of ease, and so she resolved to go back to the washub, where as Grimm said in his fairy tales, "she is to this very day." Meantime the three millions in property get along the best they can without her. Between the Devil And The Deep Sea Considerable publicity attends the efforts of hte Harlem Avenue Christian Church membership (white) to arrive at a decision as to whether or not they will sell to colored Seventh Day Adventists their church building at the corner of Harlem and Fremont avenues. The majority of the membership is anxious to sell the property and build a new church in the suburbs, where they have taken up residence. They have been restrained and threatened, however from their intentions by white churches and residents in the neighborhood, who are opposed to a colored congregation owning property on the corner. The final church meeting to determine the question is called for next Monday night. Out in the Waverly section, where colored people have long lived, and built up churches, white community associations are asking colored people to move into the city. By word of mouth, and in long communications to leading people of the neighborhood, they are saying that more and more white people are moving into the suburbs of the city, and it is advisable that the colored people give up their homes and churches to move into the NORTHWEST SECTION OF BALTIMORE. It is the Waverly white people are listened to, the Waverly colored people will move in town; if the Harlem Avenue Improvement As- Between the DEVIL AND THE DEEP SEA, the only sensible thing for most of us is to follow Judge Staunton's advice of BEHAVING THE BEST WE KNOW HOW, AND THEN LETTING OUR NEIGHBORS MOVE WHEN THEY DON'T LIKE US. THE VAMP AND A Serial Love Story 38 LYNCHED WHILE CONGRESS DEBATES ANTI-LYNCHINB BILL The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today made public a statement to the effect that since the introduction of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill in Congress on April 11, 1921, there had been 38 persons murdered by mobs in the United States, of whom two were burned, four bodies being publicly burned after Lynching. One of those Lynchings was a colored woman. Three were white men. The Dyer bill was favorably reported by the Committee on the Judiciary on October 2, 1921. Four have been seven Lynchings, one body being publicly burned, in Hielena, Arkansas. Among the causes assigned for these Lynchings are the following: 1. A colored man called to inquire of a white girl why she had not replied to a note he had written to her. He was Lynched for this offense; 2. An old man was accused of assisting a man to escape; 3. Two colored men were Lynched for aiding a third to escape. 4. One colored woman was thrown from a bridge and drowned for assisting a colored man to escape. George Gorman was the first person since the Dyer bill was introduced, having had 10. Mississippi is second with 7. South Carolina third, with 5. Louisiana fourth with 4, and Arkansas and Texas each have 3. Back, far back in my mind was a story that I had heard of an illigible child, a white girl who was hidden among old people that all Prince Louis would be lost of her story, as told, to me, described a sordid childhood. why, I argue, could not the child have been reared by intelligent, high-minded Negroes? There was no reason why it might not be this way as well as any other, so I dropped Hortha into the Williams cabin. I have had many nice things said to me about my novel, but I have also frequently met with the comment, "Why didn't you mention Hortha had better forget that your heroine more attractive? Why didn't you mention character? Well I didn't because I wanted to put her in contrast with her sister. Ellen, the colored threatens Germany. and day for the uplift of the community in which she lived. It was perfectly natural that the slender, high-bred white girl, of a pretty, but weak mother, should not be roused to any effort for the betterment of conditions in her community while the slender virile colt girl, trained to the ideal of service, should be a power for good in her community. It was the girl of white blood who was about to enter, into illicit relations with a white man, when a turn of fortune saved her; and it was same girl, who, when she was North and entered the labor world, failed again to grasp the need of concertes to fort to better the horrors of poverty. She did not have the breadth of vision, the larger stock upon life, of the school teacher or the Irish labor leader. If, however, my readers do not feel that she proved a true-hearted woman in the end, then my book is a failure indeed. Mr. Walter F.

She is even ready to recruit vast numbers of black soldiers in Africa for this purpose—a strange case, that of a white government using black men to enslave other white men. Here is what an Englishman, J. L.

"THE SHADOW" By Mary White Ovington. Published by Harcourt, Brace and Howe, New York City. Price $2.00 Postage 10 cents. It is a little ove a year since my novel, The Shadow, was published and I have had 5 number of persons ask me the question. How did you come to write it? Now as one is always flattered by being questioned regarding one's literary work, I have thought that my friends might be glad to have the reason why my fancy took the form it did. For my plot is unusual. We have had many white heroes turn out to be black, but as far as I know not until I had the robe turned out to be white. I chose 'this plot for a particular reason. It has been my good fortune to know with some intimacy the world of the better class of colored folk. I have seen their attractive homes. I have noted their charm of manner, I have admired beyond expression their ambition for their children. I wanted to show this to the reading world when I wrote. But how? I reared that the public would not yet stand for a heroine who was colored, at least not the kind that I would want to draw. They might be prejudiced against a serious story dealing with the ambitions of colored folk. How then could I depict these characteristics and make my novel acceptable to the general reading public? Back, far back in my mind was a story that I had heard of an illigible child, a white girl, who was hidden among colored people that all trace might be lost of her birth. This story, as told, to me, described a sordid childhood. But why, I argue, could not the child have been carried by intelligent, embodied Negroes? There was no reason why it might not be this way as well as any other, so dropped Hortha into the Williams' cabin. I have had many nice things said to me about my novel, but I have also frequently met with the comment, "Why didn't you make my heroine more interesting? Why didn't you make stronger than normal?" Well, I didn't because to put her in contrast with her sister, Ellen, the colored teacher, who was working night and day for the uplift of the community in which she lived. It was perfectly natural that the slender, but weak mother, should not be roused to any effort for the betterment of conditions about her while the stronger more white colored girl, trained to the ideal service, should be a power for good in her community. It was a gift of white blood who was about to enter, into illicit relations with a white man, when a turn of fortune saved her; and it was the same girl, who, when she came North and entered the labor world, failed again to grasp the need of concerted effort to abolish the horrors of poverty. She did not have the breadth of vision, the larger arm upon arm, of the embodied school teacher or the Irish laborer.

Seligmann This is the fifth article of a series by the author of "The Negro Traces America", who is now Director of Publicity of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Predictions are freely named in American and English newspapers that Germany will have suffered a "financial collapse" within six months. What that might mean to millions of people the terrible conditions in Russia and in southeastern Europe indicate. Those conditions, with accompanying hanger, decay of railways and communications, and the wreck and desertion of large cities, are summarized by the word barbarism. In the face of these predictions France's representative, Premier Aristide Briand, dared to talk the German "menace," as though the German people could possibly raise an army even if they were not thoroughly sick of fighting France's spokesman does not offe this German promise as an excuse for the French armies on the chief maritime powers of the world are ready to reduce their maries. France, through her Premier Brindle, came to the Washington conference in a mood of distrust. Some even said that France wanted to wreck the Washington Conference. The immediate result of Premier Brindle's speech was fuming up of hats and drums in Washington. Some people even believed France had given a death blow to humanity's hopes for freedom. It is too early yet to say whether or not this is so. In any case, France's course has made clear that there is a great conflict going on, in Washington, and throughout the world. This conflict is between the wishes of the individual and the good of the community by which and through which he lives. It is the conflict of indemnities and punishments, against the sentiments and growing in England and the United States that regardless of who is to blame for the past war, mankind had better forget that and work to shore up the dikes, all working together against the tide of hunger and destruction southeastern Europe and now threatens Germany. In the course of this conflict France is opposing the suggestion that Germany and Russia ought to be joined by the United States. England and the United States are beginning to realize, largely through the situation created by France, that a world peace cannot be made when two of the chief nations are denied a voice and are to be treated as slaves. For that is what France would like to make of Germany and Russia. She would like to make peons of Germany and Russia, and have their people work solely to pay debts owed to France. She can ready to pay many of their officers in Africa for this strange a case, that of a white government using black men to enslave other white men. Here is what an Englishman, J. L. Garvin, writing in The Observer of London says about it (my quotation is from the New York Times of November 27): "A very distinguished French writer argued a few days ago that France for her very existence required a larger many and unimaginable summaries to ensure the Mediterranean outweigh the fierce fightlessness from Africa. This is the French case for military security, but what same man can believe that these conditions can be permanent in Europe, that any white race can in reality preserve itself for long by these means or that any other white race can be held down by these means? France has really succeeded in showing, what some people believed from the very beginning, that it is impossible to get rid of those terrible burdens, armies and navies, unless you first get rid of the disposition to use armies and navies. In the Washington Conference it has become more and more evident that on the European Continent no power is easier to use armies and navies as France. An answer to this situation has come out of Washington. President Harding has proposed a loose sort of association of nations. In any such association, obviously, there could be no peon nations. Germany and Russia would have to be heard and would have to be represented on something like equal terms whether France liked it or not. If France is actually ready to fight, as some of the utterances of her spokesman indicate, she must stand the consequences—which may be calamious not only for France but for the rest, of the world. However, when it comes to the point, France may be persuaded to be reasonable. "Nay, nay, Virgin," said Joe speaking of women in general, ruined those four fellows."

Veterans Bureau Surprised By Number Of Cases Resulting From Overseas Service EX-SOLDIERS WARNED Those Needing Treatment Or Compensation Must Apply At Once Washington, D. C.. Dec. S.—Officials of the U. S. Veterans' Bureau have been surprised by the number of cases of advanced tuberculosis resulting from service during the war that have recently been discovered. It is not believed that the disease rate generally has risen; it is perhaps from the fact that the district districts of the Veterans' Bureau, and particularly this district, that a greater number of such cases are now applying for disability compensation than for a number of months past. This marked increase of applicants has shown up since the beginning of the "clean-up" drive that started about the middle of September. The most surprising thing is that many of the claimants now showing up are either well advanced or in the last stages of tuberculosis. Prior to the "clean-up" drive the average number of such claimants each week in the Fourth District was been reduced to two weeks back it has risen to a weekly average of between seventy and seventy-five. During the first year, or two following the war the weekly average of such claims run as high, and sometimes higher than at present. Now, however, the presumption of the disease having been contracted in service has turned against it that the men should be produced attribidly showing that he has been suffering from or treated for tuberculosis for such time as would indicate it had been contracted in service. For a long time some of these men have been neglecting to file claims for compensation, with the result that many of these now coming in have reached a point where there is littering of the men. (Firstly, them through hospitalization, and the only thing that can be done for them is to pay them such compensation as they are entitled to. The only improvement that can be made in this particular situation is that the men developing tuberculosis, apparently coming from all walks of life, get in touch with the Veterans Bureau, Arlington Bldg., and present their claims if they have seen so that proper treatment can be offered them. (By Wm. Pickens, for 'the Associated Negro Press') In Florida, at Silver Lake. I found fishes which would come to the surface in great schools when they were called, and eat out of the hands of men, and some of these fishes followed after our retreating boat as a dog might follow. These fishes had never looked upon men as enemies, they had never been molested by men; they had never been trapped or snared or hooked. They had known nothing but good of the Genius Homo. They did not fear man and they did not distrust him. When the colored boy in the boat rattled his cars and said, "Come, fishes!" they came hurrying from the clear depths, from the water, when he then grid, "Get under the boat, fishes." get under the boat" right under the glass-bottom boat they scurried in great wriggling crowds. And when we held our hands in the water beside the boat, they came tumbled and ate out of our hands. The waters of Silver Lake are perfectly clear, so that we could see the fish life, the turtles and the beautiful variety of vegetation in the subaqueous waters, the turtles and geysers, 100 feet down at the bottom. White this could be plainly seen thru the still water under the glass-bottom hont, it could not be seen thru the surface of the lake, because the ripples destroyed images by the fraction of water and water 100 feet down looked as if it were only ten feet or so. And there were the fishes in every stage of development and of every variety, semi-transparent and black fish. There were great cat-fish, battling for the warm water that rushed from the geysers at the bottom, or in the warm waters that spotted from the many little geysers.

JOHN DYSON Hats Off To Ireland By Wm. Pickens for the (Associated Negro Press) Seven centuries of fight, and at last the "snakes" are driven from the Emerald Isle. The spider of Scotland, and Robert the Bruce, the man who tried SEVEN HUNDRED YEARS. They hung on the gallows, they burned in the fire; they plead and bled and died. They fought odds,—against the wedded powers of Mammon and Mars. They were herded like cattle and jailed like felons, in jail like beavers, and they were buried in prison—and the great soul of McSwiney toasted more days than did Jesus she Christ. They paid willingly for their freedom and they got it. It is a thing that is worth all its costs. And the "snakes" are driven out—by St. Patrick and Saints like Macdonald and Pain—"Oneselfs Alone." A man who loves his own people, is the only man who can love God. But as a people is its own greatest weakness, so is it also its own greatest weakness. The greatest menace to Free Ireland today is a group of Irishmen, factional, short-sighted Irishmen. Like other struggling peoples, the Irish nation has its ulcer—spelled ULSTER. In this achievement of blood and tears ought to add ten years to the life of every Irishman everywhere in the round world. We write in Chattanooga, Tenn., and we have just witnessed an Irish woman, poor and unknown, but walking with a military erectness, bragging on Irish blood—with her head in the air and her soul in the clouds. "Oh, those American people!" she pennanted. "They're talking of colors," she added. "They're talking of sending missionaries to Ireland. They'd better teach themselves not to make the colored people dig their own graves!" She was referring to John Williams, of Fasher County, Georgia, whose peons dwitting dug their own graves, and were then knocked in the head and pushed into it. Colored Americans, the fight has just begun in Georgia and Mississippi; in South Africa and Egypt and India; and in night for seven centuries. You for twenty-eight generations of grown men. They were free from the moment when a majority of them made up their minds to be free or to die. Their livers were shot out, their tongues choked out; they were burned and hacked and imprisoned and starved. But this did not shake their resolution. He hardened it. It looked as if the last Irishman and Irish woman were resolved a fellow DeValera to liberty or death. When their enemies knew this, it was enough. They are free. No matter what anyone says, we need a few Katos. Good football players and chass and commencement orators are all right as such, but in these days life is making a real demand for MEX.
