The letter suggests radical changes in the contact of Catholic Mission work among our people, which aside from the purely denominational work, should prove far reaching and beneficial in its results for the community. The chief points in this letter are contained in the following suggestions, as offered by the local Association. We suggest that the mission known as 'The St Joseph's Society Negro Missions is disbanded'. "We suggest that the ideas, policy and practice of our lamented Cardinal for the development of a colored Catholic Priesthood be encouraged and developed." We suggest that St. Joseph's Seminary be converted into a Catholic college for colored Catholic students, and that trained and a competent faculty of colored men be placed in charge. We suggest that St. Peter Clever and St. Earnahra Churches and be combined and consolidated into one parish by means of purchase of the property of the Church of the Immaculate conception with its land and school buildings. "We suggest that Rev. Conal Rebescher be given an indefinite period of segregation and removed from contact and places of authority among colored people. "We further suggest that the Father of St. Joseph's Society for Negro Missions be recalled from any and all further extension of the policy of segregation and removed from contact and places of authority by the establishment of purely colored churches for colored Catholics."

SHELL-SHOCKED VETERAN RUNS AMUCK, KILLS ONE Long Branch, New Jersey, Shop Persons Fire Man Mired FIRS, Shop Long Branch, N. J., Dec. 22 City officials wish now they had paid attention to the friends of Ernest Williams. Williams suffered from shell-shock during the war and has been acting queerly since. City officials said, however, he has once acted out an怒闸, one of the sanitarians. Friday Williams became violent, shooting up the shopping section of the city, firing more than 10 bullets and killing Hermann A. Emons, white on duty at Broad and Third Avenues. As long as Williams' manifuntility had not been out of bounds, he was beaten and kicked before being landed safely in jail. L TREAT Cars A. M. E.

THE AFRO-AMERICAN RICHMOND WELCOMES CHARLES GILPIN Famous Colored Actor Geis Great Reception in Southern City Richmond, Va., Dec. 28—Charles S. Gilpin the famous Negro actor whose portrayal of the title role of Eugene O'Neill's tragedy, "The Emperor Jones" was the sensation of the New York stage last season, and won for him the signal honor of being chosen as one of the ten players who had contributed most to the elevation of American drama last year, appeared in his famous character of Brutus Jones the showman played at the Academy here last. Monday and was greeted with a remarkable reception by the big Xmas Lay audience. Speaking of the work of Glibp the Richmond Times-Dispatch critic wrote in part as follow: Charles Glibp as Brutus Jones, has created a remarkable role. Its success in New York and also in various voyages great. Whatever questions may arise as to its propriety in Southern cities—and some have been heard—the dramatic art of Glibp must be recognized." "From the first scene when he indulges, in boasting and braggadocio, through the successive development of the play wherein he and object fear, and object fear, solely induced by his own mind, Glibp acts 'with great ability.'" "The Black Thunderbolt" "The Black Thunderbolt" the Jack Johnson picture which was made while the famous ex-heavyweight was in Spain, was given first local showing at the Regent Theatre the last three days of last week. This is the picture which the Maryland Censor Board by reason of the somewhat herole role assigned to Johnson, was not so sure that it would not be deleterious to the morals of some who might less like it. Most endeavors of our ultra-civilization in which the methods of European and other foreign experts are brought into competition so to speak, with American methods, the mechanical attributes of the Black Thunderbolt" suffer in comparison with American-made productions. The chief fault however, lies principally on the side of the direction. The story is logical and not without a degree of interest, but the necessary touch of American screen followers have been "brought up" on, was lacking. The story tells how a nobleman of a principality known as Sardalia, is attacked by thugs, who are put to rout by Johnson who happens along. He gives the latter his card inviting him to call and receive a fitting reward for the rescue. When Johnson calls on the latter he is asked to assume the personal guardianship of the little princess whose father is dying and a designing pretender to and throne is desirable of succeeding out of the way. Succeeding events gives Johnson many opportunities to show his great strength. As a screen actor, Johnson showed a tale of talent, and worked (The Associated Negro Press) New York, N.

First of all, 1 observed that all new phages, just as T eame to them, whether It concerned position, notation, fingering or howing. wns demonstrated from the violin. alone and not from the piano. Secondly, T observed that the assistaned from the niano was anty to keen me in perfect time and in nerfect tune. Thirdly, T observed A pupil who had heen taught hy a teacher who wat a violinist, but he did not know the piano, ‘This punit's howine was cool and his tanes were true except in the higher positions, but when he began to handle elassieal numbers that called for plana accomyani- ment. he was literally at sea, and It was quite dificult for him to play with anyone else but himself. Seeing his pitiable condition he was advised ta study more with the piano, which he was allowed to do, with excellent results, It so-happened that T 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 Amerien and secured the services of the violin professor there. Starting under a new instructor I was anxious to know what would he his impression of my work, T 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 supp!ement my former studies, Then, to my greater surprise, at ench 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 T am: now contint- ing these studies at the Baltimore School of Music, T again observe that all well-stocked music stores carry a tine of follos such an: Cornet with Plano, Trom- hone with Plano, Clarinet with Piano, Saxophane with Piano, and Violin with Piano, ete., all of which brings me to the conclusion that it is a great advantage 10 the pupil {f his or her teacher can not only teach the Cornet, Trambone, or the Violin, ete., but can play and teach the Piano aa well. 4 PTTPTT.

C. Real Good Manners Writer In Washington Newspaper Takes Issue With Local A. M. E. Ministers When the Baltimore Ministers received the invitation to be pres- sident of the Congress which contem- plated making a new declaration of independence and a protest against the treatment of people of color all over the world, they went up in the air and became indignant that Washington's ministers knew so little of diplomatic usages. They characterized the things to the Negro as an "imaginary affair" and a "idea of spreading before the distinguished men who have gathered here in the Aras Limitation Conference. The American calls attention to the fact that it was in Maryland, yes, in Baltimore that a campaign was launched to place Ashley Hawkins in the Senate, and that it simply called a few colored voters from the Republican party, that the people who had boldly and impolitically threw this thing to the Republican party were among the people to come over to Washington to place their claims before the Republican President for recognition in the distribution of ple. Now we have the chance of a lifetime, now we have here the representatives of people who have and do keep people of color in subjection, in segregation and minority here and in minority here and are outraged when these gentlemen are outraged when that the forward-looking Negroes in America should announce their dissatisfaction. It comes with poor grace from churchmen. It comes with poor grace from followers of Him who championed with His life the cause of the oppressed. These gentlemen may be alright in the church, but when it comes to know what to do and how to do it, national and international relations Washington needs no introduction to anybody. We welcome them the gentlemen, but we promise them little, and WE SHALL BE HEARD. The Blacks in South Africa, forced from their own land and made to work for newcomers, taxed and segregated; Halti, San Domingo, India and Egypt are held in subjection. There is and can be no peace without justice. "My my neighbor?" has been answered and "He who says to brother 'ran' thou fool, is in danger of Hell fire." —Washington American.

PREACHERS SHOULD BE "ON THE JOB" Rev. Norris Tells Ministers They Have No Time to Hunt And Fish An interesting discussion took place at the Preachers' Meeting on last Monday at Bethel A. M. E. church in reference to a paper read by Rev. J. W. Norris, in which he declared that a preacher should be gin his sermon on Monday morning and devote the entire week to preparation. In the discussion that ensued, Rev. Bunday stated that preachers should get the grace of God in their hearts and not spend so much time on rhetoric. He said that Peter on the day of Pentecost did not have a special sermon prepared nor did he take any text. Rev. Davis took this comparison with the statement that the work that the Apostles did turfed the texts for the ministers of today. Rev. Stewart said that no man could get up Sunday morning and prepare his text to be preached at 11 o'clock that same morning; neither could he depend on a text that he had then preparing all the way to the even when he entered the pulpit, there might be someone sitting in the front pew that he wanted to say something especially to, and found this the opportune time to do it. Rev. Norris in rebuttal said that the books of the Bible together, and God had taken 1,500 years to put such being the case, how could a preach the Bible without devoting preacher get in the way to its study. To do this, he said that they would have no time to go fishing, hunt rabbits, and shoot birds. 101-Year-Old Catonsville Horse Doctor Could Not Keep Up With Younger Wife Henry Campbell, Catonsville, is glad he has obtained an absolute divorce from his wife, Avera W.

He said he had failed to find the writer of the letter and returned it to the deputy warden. When asked how the colored prisoners were treated Thomas, said, "I have seen there 13 years under three warden, and we are treated better under Col. Sweezey, by any of the others. We have every privilege that could be expected. Every man has a chance to learn a trade and get a common education. No. I have no at all and no, the other boys are alike. Though all of us would rather be out He was then asked about the shooting of Barber. "Well," he said, "I don't know anything about that as I was in my cell for the night when it happened and on the other side of the building. The I have heard others say he was a dangerous man. He did heat a couple of men pretty bad once. We are getting along very good and hate to see anything of this kind happen as we don't want to get the ill will of the Warden or the guards."

E. denomination were introduced. As spokesman for the visitors, Rev. S. A. Howell in the course of his remarks, declared that the church was the temple of the Lord, and should be kept Holy. And he went on to say that he did not believe in churches conducting pool-rooms and holding strawberry festivals and such like entertainments. NUMBER 13.

We further stated that much of the prejudice that does exist in sports is kept alive by certain white sport writers who are dominated by a racial bias. The significance of these two statements, will be enhanced for the reader, by an article by Jonathan Runyon, the famous sports writer of *Australia's* New York American in paper that never cared much for *groves*) which appeared in the latter journal last Tuesday in reply another sports writer on a New York daily, who in discussing a fight between Dempsey and Harry Wille, had said that, "A title little to a Negro; dollars mean much more." "Outrageous And Cruel"—Runyon The history of the prize king shows that colored men have home titles as proudly and have defended them as honestly and courageously as any white man. They have crawled through the ropes. There have been many men from whom could have made more money by losing than they did by winning, but the colored men holdly re-mented the very thought, and fought and won on their morals.

George Carpenter, has been soiling the bark labeled "world heavyweight champion," on what he seemed to believe, the sea of popular favor, is about to hit a squall that threatens to wreck his bark. We refer to the agitation that is beginning to be set up among a number of sports writers and promoters that Dempsey give Harry Wills, the colored heavyweight, a crack at the title. For instance: Mr. Frank Smith, sports editor of the Chicago Tribune, speaks as follows: Harry Wills had a putative question that never may be answered satisfactorily. Mr. Newman is a boxing authority of long standing. The only thing that would keep him from a booking contest would be death or a broken leg or two. Newman wants to know this: Mr. Newman contends that Harry Wills (colored) for heavyweight championship of the world? Mr. Newman contends that Dempsey is not in reality the world's champion because he has not met and defeated Wills, who appears to be a courageous admirer. Negro boxers. Mr. Newman counselor Jack is the world's heavyweight champion. He mounts that Wills is Negro heavyweight champion. Were the question of matching the two men put directly to the fans there, the outcome would be there would be sbagh a $5.50 break on the possibility of such contest. During the last ten years there has been a tendency to avoid mixed matches. We would not be tax off if we stated that it was due to the personal actions of Jack Johnson. We would not be tax off if we stated that it was due to the personal actions of glory from that man as a fighter, for he could light when he wanted to fight.

The First Christmas Tree BY MARY ISABEL CURTIS In the American Forestry magazine. To almost every boy and girl at home, there a tree a Christmas tree. But how much, I wonder, do you children really know about this most beautiful tree of all? Many, many years ago when Joseph of Arimathea came from Palestine to England to tell all the life and death of Christ, there had never been a Christmas tree in any country in the world. Very few people in England at that time, and those who did live there were wild, rough men and women who did not welcome strangers to their Joseph and his friends were glad enough when they reached England after a long and stormy voyage on the ocean—for in those days there were few boats that we now travel on. They had come all the way from Palestine in this little open boat exposed to bitter, winter weather, and were cold and tired and weary of the sea. After they landed, they started to travel back into the interior of the country, hoping to find some kindly shelter. But no one would receive them. On Christmas Eve their food was gone; they were exhausted and almost perishing with cold when they came to. Joseph and the day has been called "Weary-all." There Joseph, in deep discouragement, dropped down on a rock to rest. "I have strength to go no farther" he declared. "My courage has departed and my hope is as dead as this staff in my hands." As he spoke Joseph thrust his staff into the ground. Suddenly to the amazement of them all, the dead womb began to grow. It put forth branches covered with green leaves, and then before their wondering eyes broke into fragrant blossoms. The dry stick of wood had changed into a noble grawthorn tree. "It is a miracle!" they cried, and still dropped on their knee. Then one of them recalled a tale that he had heard of how the STELLAR NEW YE ATTRACTION AR NEW YEAR'S TTRACTION ATH writer took occasion to make the race is less race prejudice shown the field of endeavor in which the two of the prejudice that does exist in the sport writers who are dominated.

"It is a sign from God," said Joseph, "that He will protect us. Let us end our wanderings and go home." Strength came back to their limbs and courage to their hearts, so that they were able to construct a few rough houses out of mud and branches. And beside the miraculous thorn tree they built a little church, later on was added because the famous Glastonbury Abbey. For many years the sacred thorn tree blossomed every Christmas Eve, and the fame of the repeated miracle spread over all the land. England, you can go to Glastonbury and some one will show you where the thorn tree grew.

Theological Sem. Picks Colored All-American Football Team J. R. Hunt, better known to his friends and associates as "Buck" athletic director of Virginia Theological Seminary, has sent to the AFRG his selection of the colored intercollegiate All-American football eleven for 1927. Mr. Hunt proceeds in part as football coach of the 1927 team he called a good season in football as it saw more and better-trained teams in the field, thereby furnishing to spectators, a better brand of the college sport, * * * coaches seem to have come into their own. They appear now where formerly there were none, and the more proficient are fast taking the place of the less proficient." "System on the gridiron, no longer belong to Howard, Lincoln, Pisk, Hampton, Morehouse, etc., but practically every school engaged in the sport to any appreciation; and now the small school, seems to be getting its day in court." Mr. Hunt then proceeds to the task of giving the reasons for his selections. Quarter-backs "The game saw many field generals this year. Some of them were so evenly matched, that it is hard to pick between them, but I believe A. Jackson of Union stands out as the best quarterback of the year, with his speed, experience and ability to kick and him pass the ball flowed. He passed second, probably losses on the kicking end of the game. C. Kelly continues as the cream of the far South. Half-backs "The half-back positions go to Watson of Virginia Seminary and "Big" Doneghy of Howard. The former, not so large as his running mate, is fast, hard and shifty, a sure tackler and a hard player. The latter is large, strong, fast and good, good quality of the first water, besides a good kicker. Johnson of Fisk and A Moore of Val. Seminary, I place on the second string with Law of Lincoln." Full-backs "Payne of Howard takes first place in his ability to gain ground; on his ability to drop-kick and on his general offensive and defensive work. The best man after Payne, is Law of Lincoln. His ability to receive passes and is able to pass a class by himself. This is my greatest reason for shifting him to full-back on the second team." Ends "The East saw a very small crop of good ends. So Tripp of Wilberforce, comes up as the most brilliant fank man of the year, with Hoyle of Va. Seminary, who is fast reliable, heady and an eyeless receiver or passes, on the other" end. These men seem to have the call over Lincoln Colin, Brown of Union Holland of Howard, whom I place at guard. Williams of Howard is kept off because of his injury in the West Va. game. "Williams of Lincoln wins a place at tackle because he is large tall, fast and aggressive; good on offensive and defensive; while I would place Coley of Va Seminary whose style of play size and speed, make these two an unbeatable; Write about what's going on in your school for the "Boys' and Girls' Afro."

Colored Heavyweight Ha Reputation Of Staying Twenty Rounds With Jack Johnson Spent Greater Part Of Pugilistic Career In France, Where He Was Idolized (By Afro Sports Editor) Sam McVey, famous Negro heavyweight boxer, who for the past fifteen or twenty years has occupied that luminary orbit of colored fistiana, in which have revolved Jack Johnson, Sam Langford and Joe Jeannette, took the Final Count from that Grim Referee who has never been known to change a decision, in New York last Friday. McVey was one of the best heavyweights that ever climbed through the ropes of the prize ring. He belonged to what may truthfully be styled, the "big four" of colored nuglism; the three others of this quartet being already mentioned above. Each School Can Enter As Many Teams As It Has Men Eligible. The AFRO-AMERICAN Public Athletic Basketball League will get under January 1st with its schedule, according to M. Freericks who direct the work. Teams will be divided into four classes in order to even up competition and there will be teams of boys of eighty-five pounds and under, second, one hundred pounds and under, third, one hundred, twenty pounds and under and fourth, unlimited class. Each school can enter as many teams as it has men eligible under any of these classes. Four hundred boys have been engaged in the soccer game at Druid Hill Park, although the original list contained the names of only one hundred. To make it more immobile in the basketball league only those boys will be allowed to play in the regular games whose names are sent in by their principals before February 1st. Attention will be paid to the boys named in the first list and each school will be required to make up its team from the original entitlement. With a full month's notice in which to prepare, organize and practice their teams, no school will be justified in making the request to add extra men during the middle of the season. Practice for the basketball game for the 4th, an contest for about two weeks. Practice will be held at the "T" Tuesday, Wednesday and Fridays from 4 to 6. Wilberforce Vs.

Girl Teams To Play Washington, D. C., Dec. 28.—Two big features that are attaining wide attention in sport circles here will take place in connection with the big Wilberforce-Washington "Y" basketball game which will be played at the Dumbar High School "gym" on the night of January 25. The first will be a game between the Y, W, C. A. girls and the team from Miss Nannie Burroughs Training School. The second feature will be a wrestling match between Al Jones, the world's most scientific wrestler, and Rose, his greatest opponent. Those two wrestlers have met twice, and each has been credited with a victory. This latter feature will take place during the intermission. In 1910, he knocked out Al Skiak, 10 rounds; Jim Stewart, 6 rounds; Joe Grim, 12 rounds; Sergeant Sunshine, 1 round; Jim Johnson, 21 rounds; wom from Peter Rice, 5 rounds; draw with Jim Johnson 21 rounds. 1911: knocked out George Rodel, 1 round; Al Langford, 7 rounds; Bill Lang, 2 rounds; wom from Jack Lester, 20 rounds; Sam Langford, 20 rounds; draw, Sam Langford, 20 rounds. 1912: knocked out by Sam Langford, 13 rounds; lost to Sam Langford, twice in 20 rounds, and once in 11 rounds. 1913: knocked out by Jim Johnson, 20 rounds at Havana; exhibition with Jack Johnson at Havana; draw with Jeannette, 12 rounds; no decision, Harry Wills, 10 rounds; no decision, Jim Johnson, 10 rounds; wom from Sam Langford, 12 rounds; wom from Sandy Fer- 1916: two no-decision 10-round bouts and a 20-round draw with Langford, the latter fight taking place in Buenos Ayres. It was shortly after he went to France that Georges Carpentier, who tried to lift the heavyweight crown from Jack Dempsey last fall came under the tutelage of McVey.

COLLEGE PLAYERS RUI Greatest Whiskey Drinkers, gest Contract Jumpers Who Have Turned COLORED BASEBALL PLAY- ERS I HAVE KNOWN By ANDREW ANDE FOSTER President National Negro Baseball Basketball among the volleyes was on a downward grade until the Big League owners and scouts went into the colleges and brought out the situation and brought baseball up to its present high standard. The colored managers adopting the same method, went into the colored colleges and brought out a number of baseball players believing in their educational advantages would raise the standard of the other players and do for us what the white college ball players had done for the white baseball profession. With only a few possible exceptions the colored college ball players have degraded the profession the greatest whiskey lovers the greatest golfers the biggest sport jumpers with whom I have come in contact are numbered among the boys that hail from our colleges. They naturally have the confidence of the owners and the public as well. The owners have favored a number of them in giving them more money than other players, who have three times their ability as team but their confidence and association but their approach as to lose the respect and confidence of the people that they once had. A number of owners have thought because a player was college bred, he knew more baseball than the fellow who had not attended college; I know however, that they do not know as much baseball and are harder to teach than the players without the advantage of a college; the advantage is absolutely possible for a man who has had three years of training under some man or club who really knows baseball. Of all the players that I have ever had, it SWASTIKA DOWNS OBERLIN COLLEGE Crack Cleveland Colored Quintet Takes First Game Ever Waged With Ober- lin Whites Cleveland, O., Dec. 28.—Before the largest crowd that ever wit- nessed an opening basketball game in Cleveland, last Wednesday night, the Swastika five defeated Oberlin College, (whie) in a thrilling basketball contest 17 to 14. The game was fast, and without a doubt, the most bitterly fought basket for ever witnessed. Both teams took the foot condi- tion of victory: Oberlin because they had never been defeated on a Cleveland floor, and Swastika because it was their first game with the fast college five. Oberlin made up the first noise on the free throw route, they counted again by the same method a minute later. Then Bruecke of Swastika tied things up when he made a field basket for a very difficult angle, then put the teels in the lead with another free throw. From then he took the lead. The occasion marked the dedication of Swas's new basketball hall, and after the game dugging was dugged in until 2:30.

Intuition makes ball players valuable. The hog, the rabbit and the monkey have intuition, none of these are educated. Ball Players Should Know Playing Rules College players should know more about the rules of baseball than the average player. It should be easier for them to reason, study the technicalities of the rules than the rules of baseball. If they have the advantage and should put it to use; if they did this they would serve as a tower of strength to the other players. If they are asked by a player who has not attended college, but who has had much experience and gained knowledge, who is their idea of such a rule and upon receiving the answer, the player does not agree with him and asks for a further explanation in order that he may understand him better, the college chap states that if he explained the rules he would not understand him still. I have had some of the players to tell me of these incidents; I make it my business to come in contact with these individuals who are so full of knowledge and ask them a few questions concerning the rules of different plays, their brains become so paralyzed that they are unable to give any of sensible answers to show them what to know, and take the time to explain the things to them until they plainly understand. Our college players have found that there is much to learn, that to read a rule and commit it to memory is just the beginning of their baseball knowledge; that the interpretation of any rule is based upon the interpretation sanctioned by the Rules, and in the absence of knowing the interpretation it is useless to commit a rule to memory.

Monday, January 2, 1922 ADMISSION, 25 CENTS THE VIRGIN Afro's Serial Love Story Of Negro Life By PARKE REED (Protected by the Kelley News paper 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. Her beauty overwhelms him and he takes her mawares with a kiss; for which, he is asked to leave the house. FOURTH CHAPTER About a week after Bloody Monday night, Mr. William Reese, of Harvard, was calling upon Miss Beatrix Marley, of Boston. It was his fortiest call, for it was impossible for him to keep away from Beatrix. Will was a bright fellow. He had come down from Exeter with an excellent record for scholarship and his instructors expected him to do the first six months of his freshman year he came up to everyone's expectations: in the midyear examinations he made some of the best marks in his class. But in the latter part of March he had gone to a party, and there he had met Beatrix Marley. It had been his good fortune to escort her to her home. Starting as her escort he had ended as her slave. When the final college examinations took place the sophomore class, and those who had never known the spell of Trixie Marley accused Will of loitering through college. The experience had taught him, and here he was again, at the beginning of his sophomore year, at the feet of the Boston Circe. "Oh, do say something interesting," said Beatrix, in her teeth attempt to unravel the conversation of love. She had smiled at him, cooed at him, and talked baby-talk at him, but when he began at talk' love she shut him up. "But I thought I was saying something interesting," said Will ruefully. "You're not a freshman any more," she said, "you should have outgrown such childishness. Tell me some of the college gossip; I know there must be some. What's the latest joke on some of the boys, or any of them? And that innocent girl- boy you used to tell me the story of his name. Oh," said W. brightening, "you mean a Virgin, Chris Bowling." "Yes," she said, "the Virgin, the you said was girl-proof." Oh, the Virgin's always good for a joke; therea's always something on him. He's so unsophisticated, you know, and asks such simple questions—simple in the better sense of the word I mean." It doesn't rightly be a great scorer of girls." "No, oh, no," said Will. "it isn't that; if anything he's a worshiper of women. He has such reverence or them that he worships from ear and approaches them, if ever, with a prayer. Why, he wouldn't talk love to a girl if the Supreme Court ordered him to do it." "Oh, he wouldn't?" "And almost believe that the day he kisses girl the world will come to an end." "It hasn't yet come to an end," omitted Miss Murley. "And he hasn't kissed a girl yet!" did Will. "I know it seems incredible, but you don't know the virgin does do that. A woman wished to kiss him he take the next train out of town. As for the funnelful idea of this taking the aggressive in kissing a girl—well, the world, or the virgin, isn't made that way." "Indeed, indeed," said Miss Marley, ironically. "Oh, I know that girls don't believe that your man is awake to kissing, but the virgin would go on show them, that is if he ever let in get near enough." "You were going to tell me the joke on this Virgin of yours," said Will. "and its right line with what I've been saying. latest is that the Virgin does even know a man from a wo- Why, we had the class fight last night. Bloody Monday Night you know. Well, some freshman dresser, in woman's clothes and mixed in the fight. He must have known the Virgin was green, for he waited till the Virgin was near him in the scrimmage and then initiated woman's scream. Of course the Virgin's the soul of chivalry, so knocked down a dozen freshmen to reach the so-called woman's side. He picked her up and carried her to a side street out of farm's way. Then the supposed woman punched him in the ribs and let out a course, musculature. Virgin; they had gone to high of, together, in Newburgh. So the Virgin comes from. I guess that is why he picked the one to try his trick on. The went up to the follow's room to broke Halt and they talked in Newburgh till two o'clock in the morning. The Virgin had never been up so late before, so he overstept and missed both his lectures, and missed a lecture since he first came to college. "Well, I declare!" said Beatrix Harley. "And the Virgin," continued Will, was so chagrined that he would tell us about it at first, for the new he'd be in for a kidding match. But Phil Worden had seen of whole thing from a distance, and they said that the impeccable truth had been hurging a girl on her square. "Then the Virgin had tell on himself for fear of losing reputation." Will ended his story with a prognosed burst of laughter. After t moment of wild-eyed surprise Beatrix joined in, laughing longer than Will, but for reasons he knew nothing of. "Indeedly," said she "this Virgin of yours is a case. It must be a great thing to know him." "Yes," said Will. "I'd bring him to see you if I could only drag him. But it's of no use. We worked on him for a year and he wouldn't budge." "But sooner or later the right girl will come along." "He wouldn't know it if she did. He has a great reverence for women, but he's like ice. I've seen pretty women make eyes at him in a street car, but he wouldn't crack a smile." "So you think he's ice," said Beatrix thoughtfully. "My opinion is that this virgin is a tinderbox. No, he's worse than that. He's like the volcanoes of Iceland, covered with thicknesses of ice; when he finally erupts his affections will pour out like lava." "You may be right," said Will. "You have a keen intuition about men. According to antecedents the preability is he will not erupt, but if he does, I surely want to be around to see the performance." "Perhaps you may. For you and know that the girl might be waiting in Cambridge now, waiting for destiny to strike her in the shape of Mr. Christopher Bowling." "I don't know a girl in Boston or anywhere else," said Will stoutly, "who could make the Virgil look at her, unless, of course, she added notely, "that girl be Miss Katherine Carter." "No," she said demurely, "suddy boy is beyond me." "Not beyond you, Beatrix. Any man on earth would give years of his life for your favor. You know, Beatrix, you've known ever since I first saw you that I think of nothing and no one else—" Oh, my, my, my, "she interrupted. "You're getting uninterested again." "But, Beatrix, you know how I feel about you. I don't expect you to return my feeling right away, but let me hope that some day, some time—" You are a full-grown man, calling like this." "Oh, Beatrix," he said abjectly, "don't talk like that." "But I do," she said with an impatient tosse of her proud head. I'd think ever so much of you if you would stay sensible. As it is, you've spoiled a perfect evening." After a few more futile attempts Mr. Will Reese gave it up and told his good-night with turs in his eyes. "Who'd have thought it was in the Virgin to lie like that?" she wondered, almost respectfully. "I'll have to see him again. But he needn't think he can kiss me whenever he feels like it. Anyhow, I will call him up tomorrow." (To be continued next week) PARENT'S PROBLEMS Q—Should children who live in the country be taken occasionally to the city, or should they be kept entirely from the excitement of city life? A—It is well for country children to have occasional glimpses of city life, for the enlarging of their field of observation, and for the prevention of illness. The city unvisited is a kind of fairy kingdom, beside which the country is tame and dull. The city visited is seen to have its defects as well as its delights. GIRL RESERVE NOTES GIRL RESERVE NOTES Dear Girl Reserves: This week I hope to tell you more about the school here sailed the great institute. It is situated between two towns, Old Point Comfort and Hampton, and can be easily reached by street car. Illue. There are thirty-one buildings on the grounds and two in process of construction. Several of the buildings are new as are the Robert Ogden Auditorium and the Administration Building. The Auditorium is particularly beautiful and I wish I could convey to you the sense of calm and harmony with indirect lighting system give, and the tail massive pillars are the embodiment of quiet, powerful strength. On Sunday evenings the students have a "sing" which is enjoyable as well as educational. Several of the Negro Spirituals are rendered and the blending of the sopranos, altos, the minor strains of the tenors and the deep organ-like tones of the bass combine in one melodious chorus and sometimes high above the other can be heard a voice surcharged with sadness and deep feeling. I'm sure you'll enjoy learning "I Want To Be A Christian In My Heart" and "Go Tell It On The Mountains". Surely your people and mine gave a great and precious gift to the world when we gave the old plantation songs intact as Negro Spirituals. At noon the Hampton Band plays the R. O. T. C. to march in the dining hall. It is a pleasure to match the company with a dedicated tim to the stirring music. The students sing the grace wi heils led by a quartet. We had the pleasure of a trip to every building on the campus and it was a revelation. There were young men learning useful trades such as tailoring, carpentry, and sewing as well as academic subjects. The young women were acquiring a scientific knowledge of sewing, housekeeping, laundrying as well as chemistry, school-teaching and the like. Everyone seemed to be so cheerful and confident that Hamptonians have really seen their possibilities that are before them and they have caught the great vision, responded and have the victory. The mottoes of the classes that have been graduated are in the dining room, Sunday school, yourself. You will be inspired and encouraged and know for a certainty that God has smiled on us, His children. FREEZING HELPS DRYING CLOTHES Process Actually Whitens And Freshens Them, Says Expert So Greatly do some women feel the discomfort of hanging out clothes in very cold weather that they make a practice through the cold months of drying them in the attic or collar. In houses with up-to-date laundries the gas-heated dryer is often used on cold days as well as on rainy days. But the old fashioned housewife and the honest washer-woman will tell you that there is nothing injurious to the clothes in freezing and that, on the contrary, the freezing actually whitens and freshens them. Surely clothes just in from the drying never smell sweeter than when they have been frozen and the blown dry in a bright winter's wind. It is quite possible to hang clothes out in midwinter without running the danger of taking cold or aggravating rheumatism in consequence—that is, if you are a person or ordained to do it, you exercise in the fresh cold air; if you are properly clothed for it, is distinctly wholesome, far more so than working over a steaming-hot washtub. But remember that you usually go out to hang clothes from a steamer, overcaked from washing, that your porches have been opened by exercise in a hot place, and the skin made receptive by the action of steam. Whether you work for yourself at home or for others, see that you are properly clad for the work you have to do. In the first place, the clothes should be protected, and a pair of old galoshes or arties answers this purpose perfectly. They should be of the clamp, not the button variety, and can be put on and off quiet easily. If possible, do not go out to hang clothes from a steamer, a basket full, and then you need not go through needless putting on and putting off of war apparel. Of course you should have a heavy coat or sweater, and if your hair is not thick you will need a hat or scarf over your head, trying to hang clothes in cold weather without wearing gloves of some description. Heavy finger gloves, partly wool at least may be bought for 50 cents or less, and a pair of these for 50 cents or less. They should be for this purpose. They should be for this purpose. There will be no danger of their color coming off in the clean clothes.

DRUID HILL AVENUE Do You Suffer The Misery "LIVE AND KEEP YOUNG" Elderly People Give Queen Reasons Why They Have Attained Ripe The other day a distinguished physician, almost a hundred years old, undertook to explain to explain to a medical society the secret living to an advanced age. He said we might all live to be a hundred, and to help us he gave us his daily routine. He spent nine hours; he ate no more than frank no tea, coffee or other stimulants; he never insisted; he worked hard, he did not worry in it. It was principally milk. All Good Rules But— The routine is an admirable one. We listen to its with respect. But then we remember that only the other day an old woman who was celebrating her hundredth birthday loudly attributed her hospitalization to the fact that she had smoked occasionally that she was fifteen and had favorite beverage throughout the long period had been green tea. We also remember that the late Queen Victoria, who lived to be 87 or so, always had a stiff drink of Scotch whisky and soda before she went to bed. Recalling these things, we much additional testimony, we become confused.

History Day By Day History Day By Day December 31st—Have you subscribed for the APRO-AMERI-CAN7 January 1st—President Lincoln states the proclamation of conquest, 1863. The Revolutionists successful in establishing independence of Haiti, 1804. January 1st—Colored people of Columbia, S.C. hold the first state ever held by our race, 1889. National convention of colored Catholics held at Washington, D.C., 1899. January 3rd—The first colored V.M.C.A. was organized in Washington, D.C., 1893. Anthony Bowen, colored, was first president. We operated a farm in 1866, and in 1916. January 4th—Samuel Jenkins, a Negro the only survivor of the Blackfoot expedition across the Alaskaby mountains, dies at the age of 15, 1849. We owned 12,000 houses in 1866, and 600,000 in 1916. A Parodox? According to the daily press the majority of the people of the country are in favor of the sale and the use of liquor and at the same time the majority elects congressmen who lose laws against it. If this is true then why does not the majority see to it that these congressmen either remain at home after the next election or obey their will. It strikes us that this majority manufactured by the newspaper is rather intitious. No Muzzles "No thief are felt the latter draw, with a good opinion of the law." The colored newspaper is beginning to show up the other side of the situation. There was a time when only the white newspapers were the pursuers of the news, and we had to swallow all they said, or, to sprinkle a little salt upon it before swallowing. But in the these latter days of grace, the colored newspapers have their correspondents, reporters and agents in every field, and because of that fact, are enabled to publish the news just as it is. And so if occasionally we get on the nerves of the so-called superior race, they must expect it, especially when they try to prove that black is white and white is black. If the Eastern Shore white newspaper gets "mad" at us for telling the world about the crimes they are trying to hide, we can't help it and wouldn't try. Justice Seems Lame But Not Blind Booker T. Washington once said, "No man can keep another down in the ditch unless he stays there with him." If our white friends would just get Mr. Washington's aphorism into their heads and ponder it for awhile, they might come to the conclusion that their endeavors to keep the Negro down reflects upon themselves. No man, no community can do an injustice to another man or any individual member of that community, without doing an injustice to himself or itself. The community so vitilifies itself, that it loses all sense of justice. More and more the black man is becoming sensitive to the many injustices practiced upon him, and more and more, as he rises higher in the scale of enlightenment, he keenly feels those injustices, and, endearments to throw them off. Justice is represented as the "blind goddess." Colr. race and condition are not supposed to be taken into account. Each individual is supposed to stand or fall on his own merits, and whether he be black or white, rich or poor, he is to have the same chance in a court of justice. Because he is poor or because he is black must not count against him,'nor must it count for him that he is white or that he is rich, and until this position is taken in our courts and in our communities, justice is a thing in name only. Gov. Pinckney Pinchback Governor P. B. S. Pinchback died at his You Street home in Washington, D.C., last week in his 84th year. His demise brought to an end an active life, rich in thrills that came from honors merited, and embittered in the humiliations heaped upon him because of the color of his skin. His father was a white Mississippi planter and his mother a black slave. White relatives of the fathera Major Pinchbuck, robbed his colored family of everything they inherited. In the Civil War, young Pinchbuck raised and commanded a company of colored volunteers, but resigned in the midst of the war because white officials insisted on treating him as a slave instead of an American soldier. Later he recruited a company of colored calvarymany, only to be refused permission to serve as its captain. In 1871 after the war closed, he was elected Lieutenant Governor of Louisiana, and became governor 1872-3 when Governor William Kellog, white, was impeached. During the administration of President Ulysses S. Grant, Governor Pinbackback was elected to the United States Senate by the State Legislature and by the people to the House of Representatives. Prejudiced whites kept him from taking his seat in either body, and in 1876 the Senate voted him $16,666 for mileage and salary due for the time he was kept out of the upper chamber. The New York Commercial Advertiser referred to him as the best-dressed Southerner in Congress. The fight for a seat in Congress embittered Mr. Pinchback, who experienced the petty, malignant prejudice of southern crackers in its worst. Turning his energies in the age of fifty from politics to a profession he completed a law course in his state's university and admitted to the bar. He achieved success, and is said to have acquired an annual income of $50,000 in stocks and bonds alone. Governor Pinchback was a type of the reconstruction and carpet bag days. He was intelligent, energetic, patriotic and self-assertive. His whole career, showing him successful both in politics and in his profession, gives the lie to the claim that colored politicians ruined the South during the Reconstruction. OPINION FAVORS LINK JOHNSON Country-Wide Sentiment That Senate Pulled A Boner In Failing To Confirm Him GIBBS IS RETIRED Man Who Favored Segregation In Government Departments Is Released By Associated Negro Press Washington, D. C., Dec. 22— Members of the Senate who have been home discussing affairs with their constituents find that they are being widely condemned for their failure to confirm Henry Lincoln Johnson as Recorder of Deeds. They have been given to understand privately and through the press that the upper house pulled a terrible boner in turning Johnson down on account of Tom Watson's objections. There is also some talk in the Senate lobby that Republicans made a deal whereby Watson voted to have Senator Newberry retain his seat and return had the promise the Republicans not to confirm Link Johnson. W. E. Gibbs, white, secretary to Attorney General Daugherty has been retired from that position and Gibbs was the man who couldn't see why colored Americans should object to segregation in the Government, M. Murtin, secretary to the late Senator Knox has taken his place. Special Assistant Attorney General Perry W. Howard has handled the cases assigned to him with such credit in the "Claims Department" that he has been given the privilege of promoting his former clerk, Attorney General Robert L. R. Lauter, assistant, and L. R. Lauter, acting as secretary, and C. A. Evans, who was a stenographer for years in the office of the late Senator Knox. Bascum Slemp, white, of the Ninth district of Virginia, said to be responsible for the lily white adultery that state will meet determined resistance of the colored Republicans in the 1922 election. Slepm, shrewd but not a clever politician, has, it is declared, produced a bunch of sour grapes. It is stated that Slepm now opines it is since the year White's scheme failed since the which scheme have not favored, all hands can pull together now and organize a "Republican party in Virginia taking in all alike."

U. ON LIST OF APPROVED COLLEGES Recent Convention Of Colleges In Middle Atlantic State Takes This Step IS SIGN OF GREAT PROGRESS Howard Now Ranks With Johns Hopkins and University of Maryland Swarthmore, College, Pa., Dec. 8 At the 24th annual convention of the Association of Colleges and Preparatory Schools of the Middle Atlantic States and Maryland held at Swarthmore College, Friday Nov. 25, announcement was made by the Commission on the Accrediting of Higher Institutions, composed of some of the foremost educators in America, of the approved list of colleges and universities in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Fifty nine of the Middle State colleges and universities were placed on the list, including Howard University at Washington D. C. included on the list are: Alfred University, Alfred, N. Y.; Barnard College, New York City; Bryn Mawn College, Bryn Mawr; Bucknell University, Lowlsburg, Pa.; Catholic University, D.C.; Colgate University, Hamilton, N. Y.; College of the City of New York; Columbia University, N. Y.; Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y.; Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pa.; Elmira College, Elmira, New York; Fordham University, New York City; Franklin and Mary College, Lagos, Pa.; George College, D.C.; Goucher College, Baltimore; Maryland; Hamilton College, Clinton, N. Y.; Haverford College, Haverford, Conn.; Howard University, Washington, D. C.; Hunter College, New York City; Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland; Lafayette College, Easton, Pa.; Mahatma University, Mahatma College, New York City; Marywood College, Scranton, Pa.; Muhlenberg University, Allentown, Pa.; College of Arts and Pure Science, New York University, New York City; Pennsylvania College of Gettsburg, Gettsburg, Pa.; Pennsylvania State College, State College, Pa.; Princeton University, Princeton, Pa.; Mahatma University, Mahatma College, Banswick, N.

C.; Union University, Schenectad, N. Y.; The University of Buffalo, Buffalo, N. Y.; University of College Park, Md.; University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pa., and others The educational standard used to judge the colleges contained in brief, a careful computation of the curricula, teaching staff and finances of each college. It took into consideration only those institutions having at least four professors giving a certain time to teach. It also took into consideration the qualifications and training of the teaching staff. A college year of at least thirty-four weeks of academic work is required and the amount of work to be done by one instructor figured largely. The curriculum was considered as to its breadth and concentration and also its relation to the resources of the colleges. The salaries of the instructors and entrance requirements for students were also studied in teaching the standard of rating. The announcement of the New rating of Howard University was given by President J. Stanley Durkee, who attended the recent convention of the Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools of the States and Maryland, the University Channel, Wednes day, November 30, and was received with much applause and cheering by the officers, faculty and student body. After the announcement, President Durkee S. Deans of the University's academic department spoke on "The Effect of the New Rating on Scholarship at Howard University"; "The Effect of the Rating on the Secondary Schools Sending Students to Howard University" in "The Effect of the Rating on Racial Coordination" in "The subjects were discussed by Dean D. W. Woodard, of the School of Liberal Arts; Dean D. O. W. Holmes, of the School of Education; and Dean Kelly Miller, of the Junior College, respectively." The need of an accredited list of Colored secondary schools was brought out, and Dean Holmes spoke of the measures being taken by the Registrar's office to make up such a list. Another point stressed was that this new honor and opportunity brings new responsibilities and that each student of Howard must consider it his or her duty to keep up with the advance of the University. Paris, France, Dec. 13.—French Colonial and African troops number one hundred, ten thousand and one hundred seventeen thousand, respectively, making a total of two hundred, twenty-seven thousand. HART RETRACTS Howard Professor Makes Public Apology For Harsh Letter Washington. D. C., Dec. 22. Ordered to make a public retraction by the Board of Trustees, Wm. H. Hart, a professor in the Howard University Law School, sent a letter to the colored Washington American this week withdrawing a letter printed under date of December 5th. Professor Hart in defending President Durkee against the American, which advocated a colored president, criticized harshly colored members of the Board of Trustees and members of the faculty.

By KELLY MILLER Dean of the Junior College Howard University The race is now standing at the end of one era and the beginning of another. The world war marks the epochal transition. We are marking time, rather than marching forward. Our churches are augmenting in number, rather than gaining in spiritual power. Our schools are gaining in efficiency, training in moral energy and inspirational appeal. Our political life is on the retrograde. In business enterprise alone is there encouraging indication of a progressive spirit. The burden of race reclamation is shifting from philanthropy to our own shoulders. The future service of philanthropy will be material, consultive and advisory. It can no longer be intimate and directive. Two generations of philanthropy in India unleashed the Negro has been enabled thereby to walk on his own feet. The only help that is worth while is the help which helps the helpless to help himself. The Negro must henceforward furnish his own leadership and guide his own segregated life which he is forced to live apart. His action, not race control, the way the Negro must be directed. The best elements of the two must unite in the spirit of mutual respect and good will for the common weal. BOOK CHAT By MARY WHITE OVINGTON Chairman of the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People "THE NEGRO FACES AMERICA" By HERBERT J. SELIGMANN Published by Harper and Brothers, New York City. Price $1.75. Postage, ten cents extra. Mr. Herbert J. Seligmann in his book, "The Negro Faces America", has gathered together much of the later material relating to the Negro in the United States. The book is a repository of facts. Those wishing to better understand recent race riots, the Negro in politics, and in industry, should get Mr. Seligmann's book.] Especially are the Elaine cases in Arkansas treated in careful detail. Those familiar with these cases know that they arose out of a condition of peonage and we note with interest the definition of peonage interest the bill, quoted by Mr. Sellegman as given by Justice Brewer. "Wherever we have compulsory service for debt, we have negoce it matters not by what means, the result is obtained." Under this definition, we have thousands of cases of negoce among the Negroes who are under compulsory service. The fate of the Elaine men condemned to death is thus of supreme importance to the Negroes of the United States, as their acquittal would be a death blow to negoce. Besides the important facts in the book there is a great deal of delightful discussion of the Negro question. Lothrop Stoddard's "The Rising Tide of Color" (which we shall review later), has started many people thinking along lines of color ascendency. Mr. Seligmann touches upon the anthropological side of the Negro question, showing how the United States has taken up the idea promulgated by the Germans of Anglo Saxon supremacy and gone them one better. He has an entertaining timer, commenting on a book by William Benjamin Smith of Tulane University called "The Color Line." Indeed he gains the same entertainment with this book that Macauley had with the poems of Robert Montgomery. Those who recall Macauley's essays will remember he made famous a very obscure poet by condemning him. In the same way, Mr. Seligmann brings again to light an obscure southern book, which declares that "flood and fire, fever and famine, and the word—even ignorance, indolence and carpet-bargery, the South may endure and conquer, while her Ilood remains pure; but once tainted the well-spring of her life and all is lost—even honor wife." It is in his criticism of what he calls the South's纯洁 psychosis, that Mr. Seligmann surpasses himself. Before reading such clever satirical comment on the South's illogical treatment of the Negro question. "The Southern white man puts certain questions beyond the bounds of discussion. If they are pressed he will fight rather than argue. What to many educated and cultured persons of the North seems arguable and debatable, subject to critical examination and referable to scientific observation, to the southern white man is as sacred as religious dogma and is defended as passionately." It is against this dogmatism that Mr. Seligmann writes. His book ends with a demand for exact information on the Negro question in the United States. It might, well be used upon a pamphlet to urge upon Congress the appointment of the Race Comittee recommended by the President in his first message to Congress—A commission which should report upon the conditions under which Negroes live in the United States. NOT SO QUEER "Why did Doris break off the engagement?" "Because I stole a kiss." "How ridiculous of a girl objecting to her flance stealing a kiss from her." "Oh, I didn't steal it from her." Philadelphia Inquirer. Ten million Negroes possess all of the potentialities of civilization. But like the water power of our mighty rivers, Negroes waste for all of the past centuries. Slavery harnessed the Negro's animal and mechanical pow- There is no "fundamental, eternal, inescapable difference" of race which the Negro can recognize in any mood. The Negro must stand if he stands alone, for the intellectual, moral and spiritual unity of mankind. Religious must stand if race Christianity must not be allowed to compromise with color. The task which devolves upon the New Negro leadership is as great as any which calls upon human shoulders. An ideal must be formulated which is sufficiently tangible and definite to appeal the whole race and wisdom of the dormant energies. Whether this ideal shall offend in America or on some distant continent boots but little. The thought is greater than the thing; doctrine is greater than the deed. A principle is greater than a program. The ideal transcends the deal. Let this be the fulcrum by which we may toil in the New Negro leadership; acquit yourselves like men; awake, arise, make ready the New Way for the New Day.

Pickens More White Rapists In America Than Colored, Says Dr Wm. Pickens Why on earth, then, should Negroes ever emphasize "Negro rapists," unless it were in order to help along the lie that Negroes are peculiarly inclined to commit rape? Let these southern men also bear in mind: THAT NEHRO leaders do not denounce WHITE lynchers, BUT ALL LYNCHERS, and, in spite of the fact that white Negroes did all the lynching, if Negroes did all the raping, as white men do all the lynching, there would be at least a little sense in singing out "Negro rapists" for special denunciation. There never yet has been any need of legislation or denunciation in reference to Negro rapists, but there is always need of special attention to rapists, of all breeds. And that Negro paper or leader who mentions "Negro rapists" simply plays into the hands of the press. (We are bold enough to request that every paper that prints this editorial will send a marked copy to some Southern leader in Congress.) WM. PICKENS. New York City. LETTER IS SENT ARCHBISHOP CURLEY Extracts From An Open Letter Addressed To The New Catholic Arch-Bishop Of Baltimore The local branch of the National Association for development of Catholicity among colored people, has issued an open letter, addressed to the Roman Catholic Hierarchy, which is a radical departure from the usual communications issued by the Catholic layy, and suggests radical changes to the conduct of Catholic Mission work, which aside from the purely denominational work, should prove far-reaching and beneficial in its results for the educational development of our people. The chief points in this letter are contained in the following suggestions, as offered by the local Association. "We suggest that the clerical organization known as the St Joseph's Society for Negro Mission be disbanded." "We suggest that the ideas, policy and practise of our lamented Cardinal for the development of a colored Catholic Priesthood be encouraged and developed. We suggest that Joseph Josephine be converted into a Catholic High School and College for colored Catholic students, and that trained and a competent faculty of colored men be placed in charge." "We suggest that St. Peter Claver and St. Bannahas, Churches and congregation be combined and consolidated into one parish by means of purchase of the property of the Church of the Immaculate Conception with its land and school buildings. "We suggest that St. Conrad Rebecca give an indefinite leave of absence, and forever removed from contact and places of authority among colored people." "We further suggest that the Fathers of St. Joseph's Society for Negro Missions he recalled from any and all further extension of their policy of segregation and discrimination to the established Catholic, the establishment of polished churches for colored Catholics."

I have it from good authority that it takes at least twenty years for a banking firm to become perfect. Now our young men have practically just begun, can you expect perfection? It is making them stronger, every obstacle, every blinder man strengthening of the limitation to succeed. True it has made many of us skeptical, yes, the vast majority, but why can't we be good losers? Life is a game of chance. Union there is strength. If we don't have chance, why expect others not to condemn us? What we must do now is to stick together and say we will in spite of conditions. Shall we give up like cowards at the first failure? I don't think so. Sisters like we never did before, saying we shall and must succeed, we must go forward. Don't stand, still or go backward. I feel ashamed to hear you say, I have lost faith in you, weakness, laziness, and a lack of brotherly love. Put your shoulders to the wheel, and say you will help tear down the barriers that impede, instead of placing more, for our young men, our young women, and our pos (MRS.) MAUD V.

Of course, if the Senator had not been "looking" at the General, he would not have known that the General was lamping the Senator.

But above all, I wish that the Negro peoples of this country, will get to realize that just at time a great duty devolves upon us that it must be Race cooperation. Each and everyone of us ought to know, that the future shall only be to our own making, and I hope the "Afro-American" and all reputable colored newspapers, will make it their duty to educate the masses of our people to understand that must operate to do things for themselves, thus making life happier, and more enjoyable from every angle. Surely, the people of Maryland, and the United States in general, will trust to the sane and sober leadership of the Negro-American" for the coming years. MARCUS GARCY President Gen. U. N. I. Asso. FORUM Proper Discrimination by Public Will Reduce Bank Failures To A Minimum In view of the receipt bank failures, I desire to express a few thoughts relative to same. Failures are every day occupations in all lines of business and manpower that must be reduced to a minimum among our race if the public would exercise proper discrimination, especially by those who are able to judge in their support of banking institutions. Institutions are usually supported by sentiment fraternal and social connections, without considering whether the persons with whom they do business are financially able to give strength to their operations. All business perraining to banking firms have external strength of such a nature as to off set the accounts of their depositors. The receipts derived from the original investments of such a banker and those of depositors consolidate, and therefore form a strong and dependable institution. Such condition exist among our banker which should eliminate the criticism occasioned by the aforementioned failures and remove doubt and distrust, making it possible for the continued success of those remaining.
