Hundreds Affected When Banks Crash; A MERRY CHRISTMAS 30th YEAR No. 17 WILSON NAMED RECEIVER FOR LOCAL FIRMS Liabilities Of Taylor And Jenkins, Bankers, May Reach Huge Total Of $80,000 BROWN LOCATED Missing Head Of Brown And Wingate Says He Will Return Today. Upon petition filed by Sharp Street Church through Hawkins and McMechen, attorneys, Tuesday. Taylor and Jenkins, bankers, 223 Biddle street, were declared banking by Judge Rose in the U. S. District Court. The church had on deposit $2,623.19. Harry O. Wilson, well known banker, was granted receiver. The bank suspended last Thursday announcing a reopening Tuesday. Several hundred persons collo- died early Tuesday morning, blocking the street, but the doors were not opened. Liabilities of the bank it is said, include about $28,- 600 in savings deposits $19,000 in commercial deposits $22,000 in unpaid Christmas Services Goods, and may reach a total of $80,000. A- sayers are told to vary between $50,- 600 and $75,000. "We figured on one third of our Christmas存款 by depositing their funds. E. P. Taylor, head of the first, is representative of the APO yesterday." "Instead most of the $50,000 paid out in Christmas books was kept by depositors for their use. Also we were un- provoked for the run on the bank that followed the failure of Brown and Wingate bank, and reduced our sound on hand to less than $500. "You can say for me that our creators will not lose a penny. Our bank is a corporation, and my personal property is not subject to seizure. Nevertheless, I pledge all my possess in making good what the firm owes." A number of depositors were hard hit in the bank's closing, including First Baptist Church, who had on deposit about $15,000. Afro-American Company, $5,000. Bauker Brown Coming Back Judie Rose also appointed Harry O. Wilson receiver for the bank of Brown and Wingate, 1512 Pennsylvania avenue, which closed early last week following the mysterious disappearance of T. Thomas Brown, said to be in Denver, Colorado barring his father-in-law. Mr. Brown called up Mr. Abraham Neil, Park avenue and President street. Monday, saving that he was quarantined in Danville, Va., on account of smallpox, and would return to Baltimore Thursday or Friday. Announcement of the original receivers: Archie Hallway and Dan Cohen, white, that this bank would pay off Saturday proved a "alarm clause" to more than three hundred persons, who blocked traffic in front of the bank in the afternoon. Open threats against the bank against Mr. Brown who had skipped town with more than $10,000 in Christmas savings funds as well as several thousands more of the bank's deposits. They say his return is unlikely, as so far no warrant has been issued for his arrest. Harry O. Wilson was optimistic when seen by a representative of the APEC. He had not had chance to look over the books of the two banks, but estimated that there was a deficit of $3,000 in Brown and Wingate, and $17,000 in the bank of Angle and Jonkins. "It may be more precious," he added, "before the affairs of these two banks are wound up." Asked what effect the return of Mr. Brown would have upon the case, Mr. Wilson said, if Brown returned with money ready to pay off his depositors and make his bank solvent, the matter could easily be turned back into his hands. Brown and Wingate are said to own the following pieces of property: 1117 Carey street, 1514 and 1500, Pennsylvania, avenue, 400 Gold street, 1103 and 117 Bolton street, and 625 Lafayette avenue. The heaviest depositors are said to be P. A. Agnew for $2,500, and M. Bozeo, $400. Any number of smaller depositors hold checks for $10 to $200 in the Christmas Savings Fund. Survival of the Fittest "The failure of two local colored banks follows in the wake of the failure of a white bank in Baltimore, another on the Eastern Shore and another in Cumberland, Md." Mr. Wm. Lewis, of the firm Hutchett and Lewis, bankers, told an APRO representative yesterday. "Only the fittest can survive and our institutions who do weather the financial storm will thereby gain all the more confidence of people." Christmas checks are being paid by the three remaining colored banks as fast as they are presented, and the banking heads declare themselves prepared to meet any demands made upon them. THE AFRO Entered in the Postoffice at Baltimore Md. as Second-class matter under the act of March 2, 1879. Virginia Bank Fails Norfolk, Va., Dec. 21.—The Mutual Savings Bank, established 1915, is in the hands of a receiver. Its capital stock is $60,000, with $10,000 surplus. $50,000 in Christmas savings funds remain unpaid. The officers are: Levi Brown, president; J. S. Jones, G. W. Brandon, M. D. Bullock, M. L. Holmes, and A. D. Layman, cashiers. RAPE OF HAITI CONFIRMED BY DOCUMENTS Yesterday's Nation Print Documents From Navy Dispatch Book Submitted Senate Committee FORCE THREATENED Natives Told To Accept Treaty Or Hard Rule Of United States Troops New York City, Dec. 22—Documents confirming the "rape of Haiti" by the United States government were made public for the first time yesterday by the New York Nation and show evidence of a weakness by a stronger nation. The documents which are taken from the United States navy dispatch book and submitted to the Senate Committee, reveal the rough-house methods used by the marines, Navy and State Departments to get control of Haiti's revenues; to force the ratification of a disgraceful treaty and to dissolve the Haitian Congress; to enlist unanimous messages is from the Secretary of Navy, Daniels to Adminal Caperton under date of November 10, 1915 authorizing him to tell the Haitian Congress that they should accept a disgraceful treaty with the United States, "or the United States would, retain control in Haiti until the desired end it will forthcoming be accomplished to complete pacification of Haiti, etc." President D'Arlingtonave, writing for the Le Nouvelist, a Haitian newspaper published in Port au Prince, under date of November 22, 1921 admits that the United States forced Haiti to accept the disgraceful treaty or its alternative, namely, the end of a national government, the disappearance of the Haitian flag and a white militant governor from the United States. Other dispatches quoted by the Nation show how petty American officers were intrusted with holding up Haitian funds and payment of the Haitian government officials, and how the Haitian assembly was dissolved because it would not adopt a constitution written and dictated by the United States.

FOUR LOCAL COPS ARE DISAPPOINTED FOUR LOCAL COPS ARE DISAPPOINTED About To "Whack Up" Reward of 5,000 "Beans" When Plucky Woman Interfered Round Sergeant Parr, Sergeant Cearse, and Patrolmen Koch and Lowman, all white, of the Northwestern district, were interrupted in their plan to "whack up" $5,500 among themselves by Mrs. Sarah Thomas, a years old, 1931 Dustin Hill Avenue. The patrolmen were aided by Mrs. Woodline in capturing Joseph Thomas wanted in Pittsburgh for the murder of Anna M. Kirber, white, last June. Immediately after the crime Thomas escaped to this city and this city knew him to the local police when they identified a watch pawned by Edward Christian, 2122 Division Street, as one taken from a local residence by Thomas. Learning of the arrest of Mr. Christian and knowing that Thomas was a city police Wooldwin invited Thomas around to his house and turned him over to the police. He put up a desperate fight and would have gotten away except for her. While being tried, on the charge of stealing the watch Thomas was identified as the murderer wanted in Pittsburgh and he, along with a jury and found guilty of first-degree murder. His attorney made a motion for a new trial. When it was discovered that the four officers whom Mrs. Woodline called to her house were about to divide up the $5,500 reward for Thomas' capture, without telling her about it, she employed a Pittsburgh lawyer holding up the paying of the reward. The case is expected to come up sometime next month. Mrs. Woodline declared that she refused the offer of $500 to compromise the case. 'COMMON LAW' DIVORGE FREES OFFICER PINKNEY 'COMMON LAW' DIVORGE FREES OFFICER PINKNEY If there can be such a thing as a common law marriage, why not a common law divorce. This is the way Miss Austin, Bell, of this city, reasoned in a letter to Sergeant Pinkney world war hero, Miss Bell admitted she should have means to sue for a divorce and agree that both parties go. their own way. Such a common law arrangement, however, caused sorrow to Sergeant Pinkney, now officer on the Pittsburgh Police force. He was arrested last week, charged with bigamy, having recently married a young woman of the Smoky City. When the court heard this testimony the court, he was immediately released. Steps will be made to make his divorce from wife number one legal. Washington, D. C., Dec. 22.

Peters Safe As Long As He Stays In Washington, D.C. Mr. and Mrs. Peters, of 50 Myrtle treet, N. W., Washington, are safe from arrest as long as they do not cross the line into Maryland. Mrs. Peters is white and Mr. Peters is colored. They were recently married and are sold together. When their identity was discovered, extradition papers were issued by Governor Ritchie demanding the return and trial of Peters for his violation of the State law for forbidding intermarriage of the races. Peters was arrested but immediately secured his liberty by furnishing bail. Chief Justice McCoy of the Washington Supreme Court, ruled that Governor Ritchie's papers did not furnish sufficient evidence to show that Peters had been in Washington. There is a law in Washington, D.C., to prevent white and colored people marrying and living together. Inquiring at the Marshall's office by a representative of the AFRO-AMERICAN solicited the information that the State will take no further steps against Peters and his white wife as long as they remain in Washington.

Taylor, of 2737 South Beulah street, Philadelphia, testified today before the Senate committee investigating the charges of Senator "Tom" Watson (Dem.) of Georgia that American soldiers were illegally executed and then permanently trapped oversees during the World War. "On April 25, 1915, I saw three men hung in one day, 'Taylor testified. He said he had offered Watson a photograph of the hangings. "I got it from a French sergeant," Taylor said. "I saw the best man, a negro sergeant, hanging from the rope after the execution." "Now tell us more about the hangings," Senator Brandagea said. "A white Sergeant named Blodgett," Taylor continued "was hung after he was murdered after protesting he had not had a chance to be tried." "After the hanging of Blodgett I saw a major of the medical corps cut out his brains and his heart." "Did you see any other hungings?" Senator Shields, (Dem.) or Tennessee asked. "Yes sir, that same afternoon I saw him engaged for killing a white mess sergeant. "And who was the next man," asked Shields. "He was a white private who was hung back of the hospital upon the hill." "How many in all did you see executed," persisted Shields, "When was the last of these executions?" "We left us-Sur-Tille June 28, 1919.

Dec. 21—With the Southern members in the House of Representatives holding the vote and the cracker press from the Mason and Dixon's line down to Key West, Florida, howling like wolves, the House of Representatives move yesterday to postpone the vote of the Dyer Anti Lynching Bill and after the Christmas Holidays. Motion was brought to the House of Representative Campbell, of Kansas, asked the House to limit its debt to ten days. The debate on the motion occupied the House the greater part of its session Monday and was only disposed of after a compromise Tuesday on which democratic leaders determined to pass the bill. Democratic members left the House so that no quorum was present and five roll calls were necessary Monday night. Sergeant-at-arms were sent after arming Democrats with threats of arrest before the night knocks into the House. Few of the Republicans joined the fill-huster.

Mr. Campbell called attention to the fact that 3,224 persons have been lynched since 1883, and of these 3,522 were colored, including fifty women. The South should not object to the fact said, "because it will be just as applicable to Ohio as to the South." "Twelve million patriotic, lawbiding colored Americans and more millions of whites are fervently hoping and praying today that Congress and the United States will enact legislation that will forever wipe the stain of lynching of the hideous idol of liberty declared Representative Anselme of New York amid thunders of applause from the Republican side of the House. Representative Garrett, of Tennessee, intimated that lynched was necessary in his section to protect women who travel alone in dark places. Worth Millions; Takes In Washing Washington, D.

Maid Enjoyed the Party Aaron Emery, New York first nighter and handcradler recently gave a party at his luxurious apartment, those members of the unfair sex present being the very chosen chorines from a half dozen Broadway musical shows, who came in their limousines. One girl had her mulatto maid along. That maid quite as pretty as her mistress, freely mingled with the guests, and the amazing audacity of it silenced comment. When the affair broke up the mulatto maid stepped up to and remarked, "Allow me to congratulate you—indeed, you are a perfect host." —Philadelphia Public Ledger SUPRISE PARTY A surprise party was given In honor of Miss Eleanor E. Bruce's 20th birthday on December 12th 1921, given by her friend, Mr Walter Edwards and mother of her aunt, Brown at the residence of her aunt, uncle Mr. and Mrs. Xathan Brown, 1923 McCulloh Street. THE NATIONAL The National has forgone vaudeville this week as a suitable attraction could not be secured; and is featuring a picture program. The vaudeville will be continued next week, opening attraction on Monday was "The Stranger". On Tuesday "Little Miss Hawkshaw" was the feature, on Wednesday "Cupid Registered Guide was offered. The management desires to especial attention to the two big features which will be shown at this house on the last three days of this week, namely Thursday Howdy" featuring Gladys Walton and Friday Mother and the Law" the big Griffith production. The program for the coming week will be found in an adjoining column. RAINROW For the first time for almost a year, the rafters of the Rainbow Theatre are echoing this week to the sound of the comedian's chatter, the rhythmic clatter of the clog-dance and the seductive and energizing strains of the popular ballad. Oliver Pierce's Vandette Players is the organization which the management has selected to inaugurate the return to vaudeville, and judging from the way the Monday audiences received the entertainment offered by this organization, selection could not be improved upon. The Vandette Players are headed by Lyons Daniels as chief comedian ably assisted by Billy Sparribs. The feminine contingent is headed by Madam Mame Kemp, who was the only colored woman to receive a commissioned captaincy during the late war. She is the widow of Bobby Kemp the well-known big time performer who died about a year ago. In the present organization the Madam appearing to make her letter advantageous she appeared at the Regent Theatre some two weeks ago. The show is in two parts, the first part consisting of the usual melange of song and dance, in which Spareribs and his feminine partner—the latter a very good buck-dancer—won a big hand. In this skit Spareribs put over an eccentric dance that was a part. Other good parts was done by Ulysses White in a coo part and Jessie Davis and Corrine Porter in a song and dance duet. The second part was devoted to a sketch called "Big Chief Sitting Bull" in which the members of the company again appeared to good advantage. In this latter Daniels, better known as the original "Skintum Bowser" and Sparbrists brought their comical abilities into play, as butler and yard-man respectively employed to look served order and there has been no call of troops and no violation of the State Industrial law. A number of the strikers are foreigners. Trouble in the packing house is the result in the announced cut in wages to thirty-seven and one-half cents per hour for common labor. The affairs of the employers while the latter go on a Western trip. These to be conquines will drive away and kind of blues. Etta Cross also occurred in this sketch in the name of Big Chief. A commendable feature of the show that should be remarked is that it is clean, with but one "hell" it and no screaming or gigestive songs. The company will show only new show the last half of the week. Another feature of the organization is Oliver Pierce's Royal Palace Jazz Band composed of Oliver Pierce, cornet; Monroe piano; James Daugherty, trombone; Daugherty, clarinet and Monroe Osborne, drums. Monroe County "Hearts of the Desert" featuring Monroe Salisbury was the main screen offering. THE AFRO-AMERICAN Gets One Year Sentence For Committing Rape Robert Howard, 22 years old, 632 Pearl St., was found guilty by a jury in Criminal Court for committing rape on little Lena Stevens, 13 years old, living in the same house and was sentenced to one year in the penitentiary by the Court. The court did, not like the order in which it was brought in and after instructing them as to the proper way to bring in the verdict, they retired, this time for about 60 minutes. This account is rape and this account which the extreme penalty could be given. The girl testified that this was his second offense but she was afraid to tell any one as he had threatened her. On the second offense she told his mother and when he learned that she had told, he shapped her face and her arm. She then went to the West Side Police Station and told of the assault and his arrest followed. Dr. Waters, white, the lady doctor hired by the city to look after all station house cases, said she was able to tell just when the assault happened as it was a week old and after one week it is impossible (The Associate Dean WOODMEN, Possibly few Negroes know that the American Woodmen, now the Fraternal Insurance Organization among Negro, was originally established by white men with the avowed purpose of insuring the lives of Negroes. And still more interesting is the fact that these white men, after attempting to do business among Negroes from 1901 and receiving a knowledge that they were unaware of what so and turned the organization into a eyed had established over to a group of Negro men headed by Honorable C. M. White. At the time of this change in management, the association numbered a scant membership of 456, with the total available assets of a life time of 000,000. In the 12 years since the Society has grown under the management of Negroes until it now numbers over 60,000 members and counts its assets, as closely approaching the "Million Dollar Testimonial" to the Society is a living testimonial to the Negroes can run their own affairs, build up their own enterprises with as great efficiency as white. AN ACTIVE WORKER An active worker in whom Allen A. M. E. Church need to feel proud of indeed in the person of Mrs. Bertha. Marshall who is an ardent worker in the Missionary Society of the church, active in the C. E. League and has on three successes expositions shown her ability to lead the highest amount of Allen in raising the highest dollar Rally in the Million Dollar Rally and receiving the $10.00 in gold prize which she immediately gave back to the church. In this year's Woman's Day Rally she railed the most money of any of the captains. In the rally which was December 12th, 1921 her total receipts were $116.90. Receiving $10.00 in gold for raising the highest amount and urging the charity of generosity gave $5.00 of it immediately for the Christmas Charity Fund of the church for which they were thankful indeed. Allen A. M. E. Church feels very grateful to Mrs. Marshall for that spirit of thrift, activity and generosity. Wm. H. Butler, Reporter Sentence Suspended By Judge Duffy Introduced for New Trial Because the Epps Coal Company truck which he was driving knocked down and killed Mary Braddock," white, corner Central Avenue and Lexington Street a year ago, James Highes, 214 S. Dallas Street, was found guilty of manslaughter. Monday before Judge Duffy, his counsel, J. Bernard Duffy, immediately made motion for a new trial. Hughes testified that he was coming up Central Avenue from Pratt at a speed of eleven miles per hour. When about twenty feet across Lexington Street, he said a wagon going south on Central Avenue passed him and the woman stepped from behind it directly in front of his machine. He swerved his car but could not avoid the accident because he the truck said he did not know any one had been hit until they stopped and went back to render aid. William Goocard, white, testified Hughes was racing with another truck and was going at the woman's head. He said he saw the right hand rear wheel pass over the woman's head.

Night and day we nursed and cared for her, Trying to restore her back to health. That she might with her loved ones stay. Which to us meant more than wealth Our hearts are crushed and wounded. Our lives our lonely and sad. But just one look upon your sweet face. Would make us contented and glad. We have only a picture left of our mother. Which hangs on the parlor wall, Where the sunbeams sleep and the moonbeams creeps. Mid glimmering through our all. We can see your dear face before us. And still feel your dear hand in ours. And the last sweet look you gave us. If love and care could death prevent. The days would not so soon be spent, Life was desired but God did see Eternal life was the best for those From a world of pain and sorrow, To a land of peace and rest, Where you have found eternal rest.

She scored with an Egyptian dance number, and sang well. Miss Lovettess is a former Fisk University girl, and was earlier in the season, prima donna of Irving Miller's chocolate Browns. Her voice is a lilc soprano of more beauty, but her work is the more pretentious dance for which her more mature stage suited than in blues numbers, was almost spied by a bunch of "valley rats" who recently have been visiting the Regent at the Monday matinees and indulging in whistles and cat-call at whatever they approved, and booing those performers who attempt to offer clean meritorious entertainment. Unless the management put a stop to this sort of thing, it will be a matter of before this class of riff-riff will drive decent people out of his house like they have done to some others herebreads. THE AMERICAN The American inaugurated the week with "God's Country and the Woman" starring Wm. Duncan and Edith Johnson. On Tuesday Sessue Hayakawa in "Black Roses" was the big feature. Special attention is called to "Heil's Hinges" the big Wm. S. Hart feature which will be shown on Saturday. Next Monday the opening attraction at this house will be "Go and Get It" one of Wm. fairbank's latest releases. On this same day a big Larry Salmon comedy will be shown also entitled "The Fall Guy." On Tuesday Wm. Russell in "Colorado Pluck" will be offered and on Wednesday a big Vigraph special production with an all-star cast will be shown. THE ROOSEVELT Three great screen features are being offered patrons to the Roosevelt this week. The opening feature was "Where Light Are Low," with Sessue Hayakawa, the famous Japanese actor, in the stellar role. On "Wednesday and Thursday," "Dreamstreet," the big Griffith production featuring Dorothy Gish and Richard Barthelmess. And on Friday and Saturday, Elsie Ferguson in "Footlights." The management went to great expense to secure this latter production, which is one of Miss Ferguson's latest releases, and every Roosevelt patron is requested to come and witness the beautiful star in this screen version of one of her stage successes. Next week, the banner bill since the opening of this house will be the main screen features are concerned, of just two pictures, but shown. It will consist, in so far as they are possible, of their point of view that were ever screened. The first is "Three Musketeers," featuring Orrin Johnson, Dorothy Dalton, and other famous stars, which will be shown Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and "The Affairs of Anatol." Turing Wallace Reid, Gloria Swan- son, Bebe Daniels, and a host of other stars of almost equal magni- tude. George Artiss in "Disraeli." will shortly appear at this house.

They are the Gibson Trio, Gus Simmons and his two Honey Boo Boo Johnson and the Kitchen. The Gibson Trio and the Kitchen are fighting it out for top honors on the bill, by reason of the fact that of the former Baby Corrine is "knocking them off their seats" with her dancing, singing and shimmying, and that running her a neck and neck race in these dances, the Kisson family James and Walter, aged 7 and 5, respectively. The Johnson Kitchen also, won a hand for their songs and patter and some excellent contortion feats by Miss Kitchen. It is the first time they were in evidence at both matinee and night on Monday. The usual picture program complete the bill. REGENT Four Big Time acts are being offered at the Regent Theatre this week, namely, Baker and Baker, Cash and Loveless, a "sister" team; "Sawing A Woman in Two" and "Juania" an aerialist. The first two are colored, and the two last are. The most interesting of these acts was the "Sawing A Woman in Two" illusion which is mystifying vaudeville patrons on the big time throughout the country. Since the beginning of the present theatrical season when this mystery "stunt" was first revealed to the public, a number of illusionists have spring up who are doing it. It has already been witnessed in houses but with no more success from a standpoint of mystery than it is being done at the Regent this week. Placing a young woman in a box with ropes tied to her hands, feet and around her neck, each end of which is held by a number of men on the stage, the magician locks the box, intersects it in quarters with thick pieces of plate-glass which extend, from the top through to the bottom, and from one side to the other, and then with the aid of his male assistant, proceeds to saw the box in two. When this is done he lifts the two halves of the cover and the young lady emerges smiling, sweetly, no worse for wear or rather, no worse for having been "sawed through" by the other three hosts, if apause is any criterion—and it is the kakers led as favorites. The letter team has been before the public for many seasons during which time they have travelled around the world. Mrs. Baker is a very pretty woman with a sweet voice, who strums a mean ukulele, shakes a wicked bula hula ups in native Hawaiian with her partner is a fine pianist and teases a many of their abilities in the fact if such needed—that they go to the Shubert circuit with the coming of the New Year. The team of Cash and Loveless was recently formed. Miss Cash is an experienced entertainer who got her apprenticeship in the show business with Black Patty's Trou HARDTACK THE AFRO-AMERICAN Frank Mayo in the stella role. Other features will be found in an adjoining column. The Carey opened the week with "Quo Vadis" the big Italian production based on the novel of the same name. On Tuesday "The Faith Healer" was given a return showing how he helped a man. Monday the opening attraction will be "The City of Silent Men" featuring Meghan. This is one of the best of this actor's late releases, showing how a man falsely accuses of jacrifice escapes from prison and goes on to make good the night of his employer, but is discovered on the lay of his wedding by the sleuth who has the reputation of always finding his man. At first he decries his identity, but when the death reminds him that they have his finger-prints back from them, he pulls them into the mill and mangles his fingers on the machinery. On this same day, a Charlie Chaplin Comedy will be shown entitled "The Idle Class." On Tuesday "The Girl from God's Country" with Nell Shipman will be shown.

"The usual procedure of any investigation committee I have seen here, is to visit the institution, listen to the official version, be shown through the Prison, hear the virtue of the management, and return to the outside world to clear the management of anything of which they might have been accused. "It is a great pity we could not have an investigation committee composed of influential private citizens. Instead of the professional white-washing committee, which, until the present time, has always been detailed to make necessary investigations. "In conclusion, I wish to say that of the 500 or more Negroes here, every man, with the exception of about six or seven, are willing to contribute something to defray any expense that an investigation may entail.

They burnt candles before his alter, offered sacrifices, and their priests were put thru a long and careful preparation winding up with vows of celibacy and a shaving of the head. Then into this medley of sacrifices, images and temples, came Jesus Christ with a new thot for the world. Religion was not to consist of sacrifices and observances, but of right conduct towards our fellow men. "All men are brothers." "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." "He that would be greatest among you let him serve." "Blessed are the peacemakers, the meek, the merciful, and the righteous." These are a few of his cardinal principles flung to an amazed and startled world, hitherto intolerant of the weak and firmly convined of the superiority of might over right. Following the teachings of the Lowly Nazarene, the world today is throwing the weight of its opinion against slavery in any form, against war, against so called divine kings and divine races.

The world does not go forward every day and steadily, every part moving with every other part, but on the whole it goes forward. One proof of this is seen in the fact that men and nations are seeing that hatreds are unprofitable and unwise. They will come at last to see that all hatred, except the hatred of wrong itself, is wrong. We shall move through various stages to be sure, but we shall own at last the idea of the Kingdom of God, on earth for all men everywhere. Sincerely, WM. F.

A two-thirds majority or forty-two votes was necessary to ratify a bill far into the night, the pastor B. H. Linville, white, and leading members of the Trustee Board pled with the obstinate twenty-two to change their vote and sell the building. Failure of this deal to go through means that the Seventh Day Adventist will continue to occupy their present structure and that the sale of their property, Stridt Hill, the Waverly Baptist Church of which Rev. J. S. Sweeney is pastor, will not at present be consumed.

SAVED TIME AND MONEY tually I read an article in the AFRO, where the Free School of Music was giving a free violin to who agreed to take forty lessons, and since I had desire to study the violin and made up my take up the proposition. Two of my friend discourage me in this attempt. One claimant would not learn to play on a cheap violin, and so her said, it was impossible to learn anything less lessons. This is one instance, I am glad to say I was not easily influenced. I finally decided to to the School and made my arrangements to Notwithstanding the fact that this school offer Months Course, in two months' time I was able most elementary or medium-grade music composition. This speaks nothing for the sunshineiness it has brought into our home. My sister the piano and mother and father are overjoyed a day evening concerts.

A PUPIL. Recently I read an article in the AFO, where the Baltimore School of Music was giving a free violin to pupils who agreed to take forty lessons, and since I had a sincere 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 claiming 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 overjoyed at our Sunday evening concerts. Brother, who used to always have an engagement after supper, 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-full of compliments and congratulations. So the violin surely can't be so disagreeable as she thought or as she was told it would be. A PUPH.. 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 subjects: "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 reached: that the only way a violin pencil could be taught by this method was for the teacher to drum 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. Hearing 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 phases, just as I came to them, whether it concerned position, notation, fingering or howing, was demonstrated from the violin 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 pumil who had been taught by a teacher who was a violinist, but he did not know the piano. This pumil howing was good and his tones were true except in the higher positions, but when he began to handle classical numbers that called for piano accompaniment, he was literally at sea, and it was quite difficult for him to play with anyone else but himself. Seeing his pitable condition he was advised to study more with the piano, which he was allowed to do, with excellent results. It so happened that I spent 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 how 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 he 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 stores carve line of folios such as: Cornet 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.

They will also bring Liberian mail back on its return trip together with the American." "Complete arrangements will be made to sail sometime this week." Rev. Jernagin told a representative of the AFRO-AMERCAN after the sermon. I did not expect to spend this Sunday in Washington." WILL MAKE OWN CASKETS Chicago, HL.

CUMBERLAND With the approach of the Christ-the mas Season the stock raisers in the Catonsville section started Thursday, December 8th, to pre- pare for the cold day after he- shighting some deer back in the Goo-knuckle forest many with "fat- ness" bacon and good hamb, dur- ing the winter. Among those who 15 killed were: End Squirrel, Samuel Wiliams, Smith Byrd, Walter Raveling, Johnny Hall, Owen Hams, Lewis Harris, Cornelius Robinson, Harvey Survey, Henry Cummain, Russell Welling, Richard Peters, Leon Emmett. Much fun and excitement was caused when one "Piggie-wiggie" took the idea into his head not to be killed and broke away and made a mad dash for libery. All the "killers" and spies clashed both white and red, and some clashed "down hill" from the dale. Mr. Porker held his tall high and ran like a race horse but was finally captured and was sent to join his fellows in the place where pigs go when they die. Another pig was so big that it was necessary to be thrown and it was necessary to shoot him. The ex-soldier that did the shooting evidently format what he learned "over there" for joy only succeeded in shooting of "piggies" big and it was not until another "piggie" with an ax "piggie" decided to lay down and become converted into choicerats.

My as- sociation with them has been of such a long duration that even at my present age I have moved to at any place continuously as to as I have been associated with both Fifteen Years Ago We have many various types of players. There are two sets of players with whom I wish to deal in this article. The players of fifteen years ago, and the younger generation of today. The older generation of players passed out of baseball without leaving anything for the younger generation to take up their ability, to think and to go. In G. T. Johnson, Sol White and William T. Smith, twenty years ago three of the leading ball players of the world would throw and field. They had the advantage of a college education—all graduates; they managed and handled the destiny of the players of that day and had the future of the players of today in their hands. As exceptional players, with their educational advantages they have contributed nothing for which the players of today may hope to profit, their superior training and experience, training and experience and educational attainments superior to any of the players of the present time should make them users of strength as managers of the younger set of players. Had they developed their ability and applied same, practically their services now would be indispensable. As it is, the players will not tolerate these men simply because they believe in their opportunities they have had in them they would have been in control of baseball long ago. These men can still be made of great use. Baseball Players Today Coming down to the present players of baseball—we have some few men with wonderful ability with a few exceptions, to take the relative in any play, drill it into the men and execute it. Ball Players Are Ruining Baseball The players of today with whom I come in contact are doing much to ruin the profession they have chosen as a livelihood: their conduct is far beneath their profession; they have not even the confidence of their conscience. They run off with so many people, sign contracts with any manager who will advance their money, sign contracts and draw money. Insurance on these contracts, have the managers to keep them up until the end of the year, then come to those managers with a proposition that they have been offered more money than they can make with them, but if they will give them more money that they would rather stay with them. In these cases you either have to raise the salary to the offer they have or dispense with their services. The managers who do such things are more at fault than the players; when other managers do the same thing to them they run to the people and their fans telling them that managers are trying to all of their players and thus break up their club.

M. C's, Cuban Stars, Chicago Giants, Detroit Stars, St. Louis Giants and Kansas City City March have paid the players $166,000.00. Out of this $166,000.00 paid them by bunch of players who have received this amount have not saved, collectively, $2,000.00. In addition to this $67,000.00 has been spent in transportation, room, board, and stored car service for these players. Aside from this two-thirds of the men have asked for advances and have received the same on their next season's work. The men don't believe the owners can afford to pay them the amount of money they ask, so they try to get as much money in advance as possible in order to hold the owners to their contract. They are fastly killing the goose that laid the golden egg. The industrial depression that has hit the entire country must receive readjustment in the players' salary as in other lines of business. The Government will not pay the men such a salary, the packing industry is hiring thousands of men at less than $20.00 per week; they work eight hours per week; save some money out of this, but the majority of our ball players cannot save enough to pay one week's lodging after the close of the season. Out of these twelve clubs four were able to make money, two broke even and the other six lost. In the event the losing clubs tire of going into their pockets to pay the players, knowing in advance it is impossible to earn profits, they must make money to business, such as a case the market is flooded with players. The clubs that made money will then not be able to make one-half as much or probably not break even. If they do not have these clubs to play this will of necessity reduce the salaries of the players and will cause baseball to revert to the status of a professional sport. It is amusing to hear the players discuss their owners. They claim owners know nothing about baseball. Thus they talk publicly and freely and soon it becomes public property. On various occasions have advised them of the inconsistency of such talk, that even if the owners did not know as much baseball as they, nevertheless they are men who are able to hire them and pay them a salary, consequently, they must have more sense than they, if not they would not be able to go into business and hire men. I further state to them that if they did not have men who were willing to go into the baseball business, risking the loss of everything that they may have a baseball club, at least one hundred fifty of them would be out of jobs.

At this time the fast Wilberforce University Five will sport the Baltimore Sport-loving public, meeting the ATHENIAN BLUE AND GRAY MACHINE. The Buckeye State Team has the reputation of being one of the best collegiate teams in the country and much interest is attached to its invasion of the East as this is the first time the team has travelled east of Pittsburgh. The boosting of Hull, who scored twenty points against the Athenians last season, and Banks, a guard of national reputation. The ATHENIANS are working faithfully to win this game as they have yet to account for a game on their home court. Their showing against the Baltimore order and has brought forth much favorable comment. This game with Wilberforce University should be a corker. BASKETBALL INFORMATION By L. U. Gibson (Athletic Director Of Colored High School) On Entering The Court When a basket-ball team takes the door just prior to the sound- ing of the defense, whistle each player*of the home team should shake hands and introduce himself to his opponent. In the event that he is already acquainted, he should give a good "howdy do" hand-shake. If you are the visitor and the home players overlook this courtous act, take the initiative, and say howdy or introduce yourself. Concerning Protests Always make your protest to the referee in a quiet and courteous way. Remember your audience will enjoy the contest a great deal more if the game is not marred by wrangling and unsportsman-like conduct. Be very careful in quoting the rules of the game to the official and exalting to him "such and such is the rule." It is a lot better to make your protest in an interrogative manner. In the event that you are wrong, you will feel a good deal better than if you had made objections in a loud boisterous manner. During the Lincoln "Y" game at the "Y" last week, Wheatland Lincoln's account, accented the referee in a very discourteous manner and shouted: "You have ten sec- onds to throw the ball in from out of bounds." An awful reflection on the captain's knowledge of the game. Unfortunately the referee asked him up and show him that he was wrong. How do you think he would have felt, if the referee had turned to rule 14, section 6 of Spalding's Official Basket-Ball Guide, and read that he would have noted that he had two or three seconds. Remember, the referee should know the rules of the game and be careful that he does not make a dummy out of you. Bohainor Of Players And Spectators Never resort to any unimportant spectator. like actions toward your opponents. Spectators should keep quiet when a free throw is being attempted. Hissing or making unnecessary noise during such time is not sportmanship, and a ball should be called against the home team. Applaud when a corking good piece of team work or generalship is executed either by your team or the visiting team. Never applaud roughness. RULES A ball hatted out of bounds from the toss up at center, goes to the opponents out of bounds. A foul may be called against a team for calling out time, when not necessary. A foul penalty is for delaying the game. On a jumn ball, if either player catches the ball without first tanning. It is a foul and a free throw is awarded the offended side. Whenever the referee awards a free throw for violaton of a rule, he should place the ball on the free throw line and allow ten seconds from the time he made the ball for the free throw to be made. C.

ALCOS "BITE THE DUST" Sharmeco Quint Slaughter Fast Washington Five 42 To 26 In Hot Contest Contest ROUGH TACTICS IN EVIDENCE Lyles, Brown, Butler and Harris Star For Locals, Carroll and Kenner For Washingtonians. With confidence born of their recent defeat of the Athenian basketball team of this city at the Richmond Market Armory, the crack Alco Quintet of Washington, D. C., came to Baltimore last Friday night for the purpose of hanging the scalp of the Sharpeco Quint to their belt. But it had not been so written in the stars that they should succeed in that undertaking, neither could the Sharpecos find it in their hearts to tear the other cheek; and the consequence was, the hottest basketball clash that has been witnessed so far this season. It was evident shortly after the sound of the whistle for commencement of hostilities, that both teams were "out for blood" and several times blows were narrowly averted as the result of personal fouls and roughness in struggling from the mix-up. Both players and spectators before Lane in a large measure for the rough work that was committed by his apparent lack of keen observation in noting every foul from the outset, and penalizing the offenders accordingly. Both teams put up a hot game, and but for the unsporsman-like conduct that both were guilty of, it would have been one of the pretiest contests so far this season. The visitors played losing especially during the first half, but there didn't seem to be a man on the team who could locate the basket from any angle, whereas the locals exhibited marksmanship that was a surprise as compared to most of their past work this season. The bright stars in this department were "Serrappy" Brown, who shot seven field goals, and did some sensational overhead goal. Butler, who shot five field goals and one foul goal, and Harris, who got into the last half during when he shot four field goals, played who played a brilliant game. Lyles guard. His work in this position won loud praise and ampluse from the spectators, and significantly, it might be added, that he played a clean game throughout, not once did he get into a dispute or a mix-up with an oncoming player. Doles also starred in shooting fouls, having four in succession without a miss. The individual stars for the visitors were Carroll, with five field and one foul goal, and Kenner with four field and three foul goals. The time-up: Carroll ..... Kenner ..... Johnson .....

HAMPTON FIVE DEFEATS SHAW Scensiders Too Strong For Tarheels And Take Them Into Camp 11 to 7 Hampton, Va., Dec. 21—The Hampton Basketball quintet defeated the Shaw University five 11 to 7 on the Hampton Gymnasium court before a large and enthusiastic crowd of basketball fans. The game was one of the hardest-fought contests ever staged between two teams. Hampton has a comparatively new team, and for that reason the Shawites felt confident of victory over the "Seasiders." There was a keen desires on the part of the Shaw five to defeat Hampton, this season, as no Shaw basketball team has ever won over Hampton. At the sound of the timekeepers whistle, with Hampton on the long end of the score, the Shaw team gave disappointment, while the Hampton students were correspondingly jubilant. Much interest is being exhibited at Hampton over the two intersectional contests that are to be played this season, the first with Wilberforce University at Hampton on January 7, and the second with Morehouse College on February 18.

'Y' BIG FIVE LOSE TO WASHINGTON "Y" Capitalists Forge Into Seven Point Lead With Only Six Minutes The Druid Hill "Y" quintet journeyed to Washington, D. C., last Friday night and locked horns with the Capital City "Y" in one of the speediest and most thrilling court contests ever seen in that city. The Baltimore boys from the outset, out passed and out caged the capitalists and looked like sure winners until with only six minutes to go the latter called up every bit or reserved energy and forged into the lead finishing seven points ahead; the final score being 31 to 24 in the Capitalist's favor. Hayes at guard for Baltimore, demonstrated that he is one of the trickiest players on the local court this season. Shields also showed remarkable speed at forward. His judgment at the free-throw line was excellent. Opposition starred as usual with two and three men on him all the time. Capt. MacBeth, Kyler and Langley also did great work at their positions. Amos was the bright star for Washington, playing a long-run game and tossing 'em in from all angles. Coggins at center for the latter team also made a few pretty baskets. Baker, the player whom Washington had expected to do most of the work, failed altogether. Hayes was on him everywhere.

The forcefulness of this illustration, was evidenced in the good-natured way in which white spectators at the Gayetty received Johnson, notwithstanding the diligent efforts of a number of sports writers and others of this country, who, since his liberation from prison, have been trying to paint him as a criminal and a detriment to society in general. If sports writers were to exhibit the same fairness that the average white spectator showers with colored athletes, it wouldn't be long before Dempsey would be forced to defend his crown against Harry Wills, or other colored fighters. More than this; it would only be a matter of time before the white ball leagues would either have to let down the bars to colored ball leagues or admit Negro ball clubs into the white leagues. Why should the majority of sport lovers in this country be deprived of the pleasure of witnessing the efforts of some of the best men in a given line of sport simply because a narrow-minded and un-American minority feet and fume against what is nothing less than a square deal? If Harvard University had listened to the protests that came from certain quarters the laurels of the greatest broad jumper the world has ever seen, would not now rest upon the head of Ned Gourdin, an American, but would still be claimed by Ireland as the result of Pete O'Connor's feat of twenty years ago. And what prophet among us will venture to say that Gourdin's record may not stand for ages? As to baseball: even if the two conditions we just mentioned are not so easy to bring about, there is no reason why there should not be some sort of arrangement made so that after the world series between the white teams, the winner should meet the champion colored team, and thus legitimately settle the question of the year's baseball supremacy. We may be shooting in the dark, but it is our conviction that a series between, say, the Giants of the past season and Ruhe Foster's Giants would have again packed the Polo Grounds. C'ose.

UNION Students Banquet Victorious Football Eleven And Plan For Basketball And Baseball By Geo. McDonald Richmond, Va., Dec. 20.—For the second time in four years' Union is the champion of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Under the leadership of Coach Martin, former All American half-back of Norwich University the fast machine with perfect precision swept down all rivalries, vanquished and left its train of shattered wrecks behind. Because Morgan College, Hampton, St. Paul, Va., Theological Seminary, and Lincoln, songs of cheer have filled the campus since Thanksgiving day when Hampton the last of the opponents was downed with a crushing defeat. Last week was one of success and formal jubilee at Virginia Union. The school gave the team which brought it honor and renown a banquet in Martin E. Gray The fans who have seen the Red and Steel aggregation upon the gridiron have undoubtedly admired its sportsmanship and fairness well as its skill in manipulating the pigskin. It is regretted very much by Union men that the Lincoln-Union game resulted as it did. Despite this regret every true Unionite will do all in his power to counter-act current propaganda which seeks to poison public sentiment against the Lincoln Mater. Altho the official score of the game was 1 to 0 the public if it wishes to be fair must ask Lincoln to account for four things that occurred during the game. First, the touchdown, made by Union in less than six and a half minutes, for the first kickoff, Second, Lincoln's failure to score the entire game. during driving at a date when Howard, Lincoln and Hampton had practised for five weeks, Mr. Martin by virtue of his knowledge of the rough and tumble game was able to whip into shape a championship aggregation from a squad which consisted primarily of raft recruits.

THE VAMP & THE VIRGIN --- BY PARKE REED (Protected by the Kelley Newspaper Feature Service) Synopsis - Christopher Bowling, an unsophisticated Harvard student known to his classmates as the Virgin, meets Beatrix Marley, a beautiful colored girl of Boston and accompanies her home. THIRD CHAPTER In this one instant the Virgin lived through the sensations of a lifetime. With his arms about his head, his eyes almost touching, even their eyes almost touching; he hardly knew what was happening. All he was aware of was blinding light. He had dashed himself had dashed him in the face and shriveled his body, leaving him nothing but soul, fire, and a sweet, terrible sense of infinity. Almost before he realized it he was clutching empty air. Blinded, bewildered, he stood swaying at the piano. As through a cloud of smoke he saw the sound of the room, in some way escaped from his arms. Her hair down on her shoulders, her face hard and pale, and her eyes like sharp forks stabbing at his breast, she towered before him like an angry delity. But it was some more before her words pierced his amazement. Even when her arms shot out in a commanding gesture toward the door he stood, gaping at her, uncomprehending. You, you!" he heard her say, as his ears began to clear. "You go!" Without the least idea of what he was doing, he took a step or two toward the door. Then his legs seemed to double in height. He dropped weakly upon a chair, staring at her dumbly, helpless. The girl's arm dropped to her side and her face relaxed. It was still full of anger but the anger was mingled with doubt. She made a motion to sit down, then she straightened an arm. "You don't seem to understand what I said," came her low, cold voice. "I don't," he stammered, at last. indoor. The sat down, looking at the big, blinking boy as if he were a curious object. The Virgin rubbed his forehead, trying to pull him together, double shock of the kiss and the denunciation immediately following had left him mentally numb. It was like being jolted out of a boiling water tank into an ice bucket. He had never had a experience with women; coming a lifetime of experience was warning: His mind readily warned: it had been already bilaterated by empathy and had taken the form of his arms. He turned to her as a child turns to its teacher. "Why, he asked, 'did you tell me to go?' Beatrix Harley regarded him sternly. Evidently he had made her mind to give him a sound verbal paddling. "I should have saved my breath," she said with a superior manner. He should have realized that you would not know enough. Any young man who would take the advantage offered him a song, for his entertainment, would hardly have the princi- ple. "Oh. Miss Marley," almost absooted the poor Virgin. "You need not blame yourself too much. It was resenting my fault, an error of judgment which is excusable. After all the men I've seen I ought to know 'genitality when I see it. I made the 'mistake of losing you were a gentleman like all the rest of the Harvard men I have know. Miss Marley" was all the poor Virgin could find to say. His mind, or rather his imagination was working now. He, the knight of knights, the chancellor of chancellors, women who had never knitted a glove in his life before this nighight as a wretch, a discredit to his college, lower in the moral scale than the most shameless ruler of the university. The Virgin was sentimental; the peacock he had just committed assumed the gravity of an offense against God and "At I said, I am to blame," said Bentix Marley, more gently, for she was her well-polished self again, and seemed to enjoy making the Virgin write. "Moreover, you have taught me a much henceforth I shall know more careful and耐烦ances. We Boston man unwisely as I have just seen, have the habit of regarding every Harvard man as a gentleman." H The Virgin rose painfully to his feet. 14 E. Pleasant Street Basement Near St. Padi Street Office Phone: Mt. Vernon 1134 Residence: 1047 MYRTLE AVE. Mt. Vernon 4728-W. Baltimore, Md. "Miss Marley," he began, with bowed head, "you'll never be bothered with me again. I've acted like a - a - not like a gentleman. I hope some day you'll forgive me in your thoughts." By this time he had reached the vestibule, and Beatrix followed him with head sadly bowed. "Good bye," he said miserably. "I did wrong. I didn't know any better. I never kissed anybody before." "If you had only been a gentleman!" she murmured, her eyes on the floor. "What a happy future we might have had." He turned with a quick step toward her; his brain began to burn again. "It might be yet," he panted. "Oh, Beatrix. Beatrix, say you'll forgive me. I'm not the kind of follow you think I am; you don't know me. You are the first girl "Good night," she said non-comitially, keeping her hands behind her. The Virgin found himself on the sidewalk and in a daze. He felt deprived, demeaned and in some angel gloveing sword had cast him out of heaven as something unclean. He stalked along the street till he reached the car tracks, which glistened up at him like curving serpents. The world seemed to weigh upon him; every house met him with a stony store, every passerby seemed to be in a state of mind failure." It was foolish, of course, but normally can hardly be expected of the supersensitive mind of a boy just after his first embrace, especially when it has been followed by a tongue-lashing from the beloved and distance were as nothing to his present mood. He began to walk briskly in the smart room. He drew close, esteeming himself. His defense gradually passed; he began to feel live again, too alive. For with his quickening blood the scene in Beatrix Marley's house came pouring upon him. Again he heard that song, troubling will, and he she had come into it; again he heard the hun: of the piano as she paused; again he heard the wild notes and saw her raise her wet black eyes and rosehud lip. His lips throbbed as if he had been electric lips that had reached the almost recesses of his being and wiped the world out of his offended? Having once had that mind. What if the lady had been kill he could say that he had lived. He looked at the electric lips that had reached the Clar里斯 Marley. He took off his hat to cool his head, which rebounding. He looked down at the water and wondered how it could flow on so smoothly, quietly, evenly, when he himself was in danger. He looked at him that the river had not kissed Beatrix Marley. He strove along his arms twitching, his whole body in a tremor. He did not try to think it over, he did not try to think it over, he did not try to think it over. He was not the same Christopher Bowling who had crossed that river an hour before. A new world had opened to him; stirring within him were impulses that he was alarmed at himself. At the Marley home, under the lash of Beatriz's tongue, he had been objectively ashamed of his trespass upon conventionally wrong, but a little devil whose existence he had never suspected now awoke within him, grimly congratulated him. "Some kiss," was saying, in the efforts to down it. "Kiss kiss kiss." At last he came to the college yard, which was now silent, as if Bloody Monday Night had never been. He paused in front of me, then he paused in front of a old graduate returning for his dormitory and looked it over like fore he had come running out of that dormitory in a sweater and old trousers, with no intention in the world but that of bending the every front of his room would find. Yet he went up to his room, undressed, and went to bed. But instead of sleeping he lay there for hours starring at darkness, his body quivering from head to foot in his life he forgot to say his prayers. And when he did fall asleep the pleios fell at his home would have been shocked if they could have heard him. "Some biss!" he murmured steeply, "some e-k-iss-s" He had won his first kiss from Beatrix. Was it to be his last? (To be continued next week) HOMÉ HOURS: 7 to 9 P. M. PHONES: 215 ST.

ANSWERS TO LOVELORN ANSWERS TO LOVELORN Send In Your Love Problems To Aunt Cora BY AUNT CORA She Doesn't Speak Dear Aunt Cora: There is a young man who lives near my home whom I like very well. I told him I was going to the country for the entire summer and he asked me to write to him. Naturally, he received a letter on my arrival in the country, but re- ceived no reply. I then wrote another letter, asking him what the matter was, but still no answer. On my return home I questioned his response, bever one of them told me something different. "I see this fellow quite often but do not speak to him. Recently he told a friend of mine that I am always happy that you just because he forgot to answer my letters. Am I right or wrong in not speaking to him?" I think you were foolish, too. And a little bit—well, too persistent in your attention. You should not have written a second time demanding an explanation. That is a fatal error for a girl, make no matter. I am a man, vanity too much. There are not many of these young men who do not prefer to do the pursuing. Just forget the whole thing and speak to her. And don't in future make the mistake of appearing too anxious.

We carried out basketfuls of things of this nature: Picture post cards. Books of views of various cities. The centenary book of some town in which some member of the town was born. Several specimens of the burnt wood art (a woman told me the other day that she had made a thousand dollars out of burnt wood articles at the time of the burnt wood craze and I had a perfectly picture of that thousand dollars of burnt wood reposing in innumerable attics). A great many Christmas presents of the type of which the recipient explained. 'Oh, that's not to use, that's a Christmas present.' A lot of books that were not worth keeping on the shelves downstairs. All Meant Money And Money Means Time And Work Some of these and similar articles which departed to the department store had lived of reasonable length, and utility below stairs, before they were consigned to the attic, but many of them had been fucked away under suspicious shortly after the supermarket spent their time there until they came up to the attic. As I crowned a heap of picture cards with a book containing views of Salt Lake City I suddenly learned the terms of money and human labor. Everything there I realized meant money spent and that money meant labor and time spent to earn it. Other words these are some of the things which we all give our lives (for I imagine that this attic was more or less typical of a million attic; or whatever takes the place of the attic in the apartment house). And I found myself asking, "Is it worth it?" You remember Lowell's line, "Bubbles we buy with the whole soul's taskkill to keep the Feaver may be bad for the asking."

Phone Courtesy When the telephone bell jingles and the receiver is taken off the hook it is not unusual to find the caller shouting "Who IS this?" after you have made your answer in a quiet "Helloua." This amazing question is most untreated and insulting, and the party at the telephone does not care to divulge her identity until she knows who is calling her. There is proper to state who is calling while ringing up a party on the telephone. Instead of saying "Who Is this?" the first remark should be: "This person is asking you to wish to speak to Mrs. Tweedledum." If Mrs. Tweedledum is at the phone she may answer: "At the door, please." The teachers considerably and both parties will feel pleasantly toward each other. The one who asks, Who is this person? The one who swears: "To whom am I; speaking?" or "who is calling me?" which is perfectly correct, for no one should feel obliged to talk to a party on the telephone who does not first influence his name and his business. fut Hair Grower: Help!

ETHEL WATERS SIGNS CONTRACT NOT TO MARRY Fear of Love-sick Admirers Cause Photograph Company To Keep Her Single This Year Her Single This Year New York, Dec. 19.—Ethel Walters, star of the Black Swan Trounboudours, has signed a unique contract with Harry H. Pace, which stipulates that she is not to marry for at least a year, and that during this period she is to devote her time largely to singing for Black Swan Records and appearing with the Trounboudours. It was due to numerous offers for marriage, many of her suitors suggesting that she give up her professional life at once for one of domesticity that Mr. Pace was prompted to take this step. Some love sick swains have fallen in love with Miss Waters' picture appearing in the newspapers, while others have been captivated by her voice and personal charm. It will be necessary for her to employ a private social secretary to attend to her mail if the endearing communications continue on the increase. While recently playing in Wheeling, W. Va., one promising young physician almost broke up the tour of the Black Swan Troubadours, so convincing was his picture of the delights of communal bliss. He reported to the New York office Harry H. lace lost no time in sending Miss Waters a new contract containing the no marriage proviso and a salary agreement representing a figure for each night engagement and each record that most people would be glad to earn in a month. The singer promptly signed the music contract and then to New York. Miss Waters' contract with the Black Swan interests makes her now the highest salaried colored phonograph star in the country.

It is far from complete and is presented at this time to awaken the interest of those concerned to the value of listing its organization and its dates with the Billboard. Such publicity attracts to your fair the manufacturer who is routing his exhibits. The amusement enterprises which play such dates and the concession者 who pays for the privilege of operating them, and dates in the Billboard relieves your officials of considerable anxiety as to where to obtain certain necessary elements of a successful fair. They are offered to you. Then too, the writer is interested in promoting an effective urgency among colored fair officials that will function as does a similar body闸闸 the whites. Their International Association of Fairs and Expositions has just closed its annual meeting in Chicago; and with many of the cares and anxieties concerning the next fair, what will burden the unorganized official for many months to come. Let's get together, organize an association; work in harmony, cooperate with one another and with the National Businessmens League and thereby add dignity and prestige to our fairs; increase the income; reduce the expenses; better the program of events; better its profits, improve the methods and keep more of the profits within the race. It is all possible if you organize. Colored showmen will get a better chance. With definite knowledge as to dates, better attractions may be commanded, and your visitors who may pay at the gate will be more interested because you can afford their complements.

ALL OCCASIONS FRIDAY, DEC. 23, 1921 False Newspaper Articles Concerning Pres. King Are Mailed By Liberian Counsel General SUDDEN LEAVE EXPLAINED Liberian Constitution Demands That President Open Congress Dec. 1 Ugly rumors in the Washington Tribune and the Chicago Defenders concerning President C. B. D. King, of Liberia, were labeled as absolutely false, by Dr. Ernest Lyon, Liberian Counsel General yesterday. According to these newspapers President King left for Liberia within forty-eight hours of the international airport because President Harding would have been compelled to give him a prominent place in the procession on that occasion he stayed. The Washington Tribune went so far as to say that President Harding offered President King transportation home on the U. S. warship, provided he would leave before the celebration came off. "Altogether false and untrue" was the way Dr. Lyon branded their statements when they were called to his attention by a representative of the AFRO-AMERICAN Under the Liberian Constitution the President is required to be on hand at the opening of Congress the first week in December. President King had made this fact known to the State Department and President Harding. Both assured President King that they needed his presence here to complete arrangements for the loan and guidance to it that he was promised proper transportation in order to reach his country within the time required. It was under such circumstances Dr. Lyon declared that the loan arrangements were hurriedly completed and President Harding offered the U. S. cruiser, Denver, which carried him to Liberia in about eight days. Attorney Gets Parole For White Couple On a motion before Judge Walsh of Circuit Court, Cumberland, Md. Tuesday Lawyer Pendleton, succeeded in getting William L. Stranahan, white, and his wife of Cumberland, paroled from the House of Correction providing they leave the state. They were sentenced for keeping a disorderly house, the husband getting six months and his wife 2 years. They had served 2 months. Through Senator Joseph I. France, Robert W. Coleman who sent President Harding a copy of his Baltimore City directory, received the following reply: "The President has received your letter of November 22nd as well as your directory from his Robert D. Coleman, 418 E. Federal Street, Baltimore, Md. and he asks if I will be good enough to convey to Mr. Coleman an expression of his appreciation of the courtesy which he has been good enough to extend to you.

After an investigation her story was found to be untrue. She then said she hid it in a field. A search was made but was found. Her third tale was that she had swallowed it but when the officers suggested that she be taken to the police, she claimed that she gave it to Henry Welsh, a student at Morgan College. Welsh, was then arrested and at the Juvenile Court where he was questioned, he said he did not know the girl and knew nothing of the money, and was released. Girl insisted that she knew Welsh, and asked her to pay at one time. He was called to court Tuesday, and after a grilling by detectives, he promised to pay the money back. When called before Judge Williams, he denied having taken the money and said he confessed before Judge Williams told him, if he had taken the money without the knowledge of its being stolen, he had committed no crime and to admit it, so the girl's father would not have all of it to pay back. But if you took the money known, he would then the law will handle you for receiving stolen money." Welsh, declared he was innocent and was dismissed.

Most of us take better care of our tools than we do of ourselves.

The Biggest Job Suppose you bathed once a week, shared twice a year, slept between eight blankets in a room with your wife and five greasy children, and see your meals off a grimy table in the same room, American citizenship, Merry Christmas, saving of souls, and the campaign against tuberculosis would not mean much, would they? We have got to save some men's souls by saving their bodies. Criminals commit 6, me more as a protest against the dirt and bad food than anything else. Misery and poverty nearly wore out the patience of Job. It is the job of the Community to clean itself up, and this soap and beacon campaign is about the biggest job any community has. Liberians Real Diplomats They came in the interest of the loan of $5,000,000 promised them by the Wilson administration and later withdrawn. Three weeks ago they sailed for home in a United States warship, with the loan granted them again, and it is said with papers calling for five million American dollars in their pockets. Successful diplomacy is the band that gets what it goes for. The Liberians first deserve congratulation for their success, secondly, they stayed in this country for over six months during which time they only earned words of highest commendation from the American press for their statesmanlike conduct. The Liberians were a match for the type of white reporter who wanted to write a comical account of his interview with a black President, and a match for all other reporters, white and black, who wanted to inquire too closely in the affairs they had decided to keep secret. The Liberian delegation was a credit to the West African republic and left America with the universal respect of both races. The only word of criticism has been directed against the petty heads of universities like Howard, Lincoln, Wilberforce and Morgan, who "broke their necks" honoring Marshall Foch with a degree, and overlooked our own President King. CHRISTMAS, 1921 Why should the Christian world today rejoice over the fact that 1921 years ago a young child, Jesus, was born in the village of Nazareth? Let us see. Six thousand years before this event, 6000 B. C., as the historians write it, civilized men lived in cities on the banks of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in Mesopotamia. Excavations of these ruined cities tell of temples which once stood there containing images of gods, half man and half animal. Scientists declare that the civilized men of those days believed that the approval of their god brought them prosperity, his anger meant misfortune. Any one who needed help had only to how before the image and fling at its feet a few presents. Such was the earliest religion. David and Solomon ruled Israel some nine hundred and sixty years before Jesus Christ was born (960 B. C.) Ordinarily we regard them as types of the people of that day who had found and worshipped the true God. Nevertheless these two men left a train of blood, murder and assassinations that would do credit to the wildest savage chief. (Refresh your memory by reading the Second Book of Samuel.) Solomon's proposal to cut a baby in half and give each of two claims to mothers half, was not a idea. Egypt in the second century before the birth of Christ was the most enlightened spot on earth. The people worshiped images of Seraphis, who by the way was a trinity composed of three distinct The failure of one banking institution and the near failure of another during the past week proved calamitous in more ways than one. The depriving of a large number of poor people, men, women and children of that with which they had hoped to enjoy the most pleasant season of the year, works a hardship in scores of cases. We are hardly prepared to believe there was any criminal intention on the part of those responsible, and yet there was that which might at least be termed gross negligence, and poor business judgement. Banks we need and banks we must have. The amount of increased business carried on by our people demands that we should have the necessary means of commercial assistance, which, small amounts of capital could not secure from the larger and more successful white banks. But this bank or banks should be under state or national supervision and required to conform to such laws so will host protect depositors. Any striving individual, community or people will make mistakes and failures. We should not be deterred by our failures, no matter how far back, at times they may set us. The only real failure is the failure to try again. We are striving upward and against great odds. We must provide against the next failure by determining to place all proper safe guards against it. Business is business. This is a hard and cold fact, and it would be well if every institution of every kind would see to it that proper protection is provided for its finances. It is to be hoped that the recent catastrophe will be the means of teaching a strong lesson to all. We must demand the highest integrity on the part of those who seek to handle our funds and, moreover, we must learn to inquire as to the integrity and ability of those who come to us seeking our money, whether for investment or for safe keeping. We ought to know something about the institution and about what is behind it. We owe it to ourselves to know this, and those who seek to get our favors ought not to be adverse to giving full information. "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again," is a very old motto but it loses nothing because of its age. Many have been encouraged to try again and have, after repeated failures, succeeded. We must not be discouraged. We have a hard and high hill before us and we will never climb it if we are weak and easily discouraged. It takes strong men to make a strong nation and we must be strong: Few people are so poor that they cannot boast of at least one rich relative. Bank Failures gods. They hurried candles before his alter, offered sacrifices, and their priests were put thru a long and careful preparation winding up with vows of colibacy and a shaving of the head. Then into this medley of sacrifices, images and temples, came Jesus Christ, with a new thot for the world. Religion was not to consist of sacrifices and observances, but of right conduct towards our fellow men. "All men are brothers." "Do unto others as you would have they do unto you." "He that would be greatest among you let him serve." "Blessed are the peacemakers, the meek, the merciful, and the righteous." These are a few of his cardinal principles flung to an amazed and startled world, hitherto intolerant of the weak and firmly convinced of the superiority of might over right. Following the teachings of the Lowly Nazarene, the world today is throwing the weight of its opinion against slavery in any form against war, against so called divine kings and divine races. And bit by bit world opinion is manifesting itself in the direction of universal brotherhood, universal peace, universal justice and universal good will. "Peace on earth and good will among all men" was the song of the angels and the passage of nineteen hundred years finds the Christian world reechoing the most beautiful message ever heard by human cars. Noise and inefficiency go hand in hand. Deep water runs smoothly. A little brook BABBLES. Great powerful automobiles and trucks run so quietly they can hardly be heard. A boy scooting down the sidewalk in a wooden express wagon with steel rimmed wheels makes noise enough to be heard a block away. A noisy machine needs oil. A noisy workman is a wasteful workman. Figure it out for yourself. The Republican Letter Weller, France and others to the President urging the appointment of some colored men of the State to federal offices in interesting in several ways. It indicates that Colonel John Philip Hill and others are willing to make good their pre-campaign pledges. It also serves to show the attitude of the local press. The American mistakenly opposes such appointments because they would INFER SOCIAL EQUALITY? The Sun terms it a BLUNDER(?), opposes any political recognition of colored people, and advises the Republican leaders to busy themselves instead with practical schemes for their progress and improvement. Incidentally the letter of protest filed with the President by A. W. Henderson, white, urging him "not to pay any attention" to the Weller-France letter proves that the AFRO-AMERICAN made no mistake in urging the voters to defeat him in the last election. Most important of all is the plain and bold declaration of both the Republican and Democratic newspapers that they are unalterably opposed to FORTY PERCENT OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY engaging in any political activity ABOVE THE VOTING LINE. Compare this attitude with the attitude of the Democratic party in New York which has appointed twenty-five colored police and is about to make a colored police magistrate; St. Louis with nine colored policemen appointed by a Republican administration, Chicago and Pittsburg, with their colored assistant city solicitors and Indianapolis with seventy colored men recommended for appointment by a Republican mayor-elect, and it will be realized how abysmal is the ignorance of the local daily press.

The world does not go forward evenly and steadily, every part moving with every other part, but on the whole it goes forward. One proof of this is seen in the fact that men and nations are seeing that hatreds are unprofitable and unwise, and will come to see that all hatred, except the hatred of wrong itself, is wrong.

(Father) Charles R. Ungles, Epiphany Apostolie College, Walbrook, DO I WANT SOCIAL EQUALITY? Certainly I do. Every normal decent human being wants to associate with his fellow men on terms of equality. We like to be invited out, to be consulted, to be recognized. We are unhappy if we are ostracised and ignored, and despised and forgotten. Booker T. Washington wanted social equality and got it. R. R. Moton accepts it whenever and wherever it is offered. Emmett Scott telegraphs all over the country when he gets the slightest taste of it. I, he, they everybody wants men to wunt us. We will never stultify our souls by seeking those who despise us, but equally we refuse to lie and say that we WISH to be despised. The despising of men, regardless of gift and character, is a cruel crime. It must be abolished with other crimes and barbarities. Of course we want it abolished. Of course we want social equality, and we know that we will never be real men until we get it. W. E. B. DUOIS.

'Dear Mr. President: "The Republican organization of Maryland is deeply concerned to secure recognition for its colored Republican members by Presidential appointment to Federal office. "The well-being of our party in Maryland—its combined response to the regression—is largely contingent upon receiving such visible token of recognition for an important constituent element. "An acute situation confronts us. Its gravity was manifested in the candidacy of a colored Republican for United States Senator last year and an after effect was noted in the 1921 election just passed. "The foremost necessity for party recognition of the colored voter in the United States is in Maryland. "The following are reasons: 1. The colored Republicans of both sexes are now registered in Maryland—approximately 40 per cent of the total Republican registration. "Maryland has the largest colored Republican voting strength of any State where colored people actually vote without bindrance, and where their support is essential to success. Three desperate attempts to destroy the colored vote by State constitutional disfranchisement amendments have heretofore been made and defeat- Gives Results In State "3.

Certainly there is need of such a faith. The homes and lives of mylands of sufferings human families cry out for a leadership that believes not only in justice, in freedom and in brotherhood, but in good will, in faith, in righteousness as a means to achieve the goal. If ever human events can prove the futility of hatred, of enmity, of bitterness, of strife the history of the world for the best decade has given us this proof.

Mr. Welles comments, "that not wanting them to be respected as much any American, is ... That's a tree that's got to come down. I'm too old to take an ax to it. And anyway, if you cut that sort of thing down with an ax, the roots generally are fine and over again.

Robinson then made a now that he would patent a fuel that would lessen the value of the oil, and after eighteen years perfected a composition of leaves, paper, rags and common trash.

Signed, HELPFL CITIZENS AND ALIENS CITIZENS AND ALIENS (For The Associated Negro Press) Will President Harding Answer This In His Next Speech To The South? In Knoxville, Tenn., yesterday a dark-skinned Indian woman, named Juanita, got on the street car and took her seat up in the front to make sure that she could not be put down as a Negro. The conductor called the police, but when her case was called in "court the suit, saying that Jim Crow was only for Negroes, for Colored Americans, and that it was not the "intention" of the law to segregate the "intention" of the race. And the judge is right. "All this talk about "racial integrity" is merely camouflage to conceal the real aim: TO HOLD DOWN THE AMERICAN NEGRO. The Negro must not be fooled by the President or anybody else on this be the equal of any other people or he will find himself the equal of no other. There can be no kind of equality, unless there are all kinds. And social equality does not mean that a man must marry your sister or be invited to your dinner party.

A Chinaman in Chicago, NJ AIL, did not want to share a cell with a Negro for a much greater crime than that charged to the Negro, still he counted himself the HUMAN BEING and therefore he met the man whom Mr. Harding was pleased, even if unintentionally as being a little less than fully human. And mind you: that Negro is a citizen and the Chirman is not. It would take an act of Congress to even permit a Chirman to come into this country, and yet a Chirman counts himself better than native born citizens—of colony and nation, whom they have never been able to civilized enough as a group, to admit to citizenship—the Indian, the one race that has given anything like proof of inferiority to civilized men, by fading away before the approach of civilization, even this Indian halls at being classed with the BIZZENS, who, according to the Pledge, must "forewarn" count themselves unfit to "associate with other men."
