FREDERICK MINISTER UNDER $1,500 BAII Alleged Elder In Seventh Day Adventist Church Charged With Writing Black Hand Letters Threats Made To Kill Whites Unless Large Sums Were Paid Frederick, Md., Jan. 12.—Rev. James E. Hall, who said he is an elder in the Church of God and the Seventh Day Adventist, was arrested last Thursday and held under $1,500 bail on the charge of writing black hand letters last March to Holmes D. Baker (white), vice-president of the Citizens National Bank, Judge Glen H. Worthington and former Sheriff Wortenberger. The minister was arrested by post office inspector Conner, of Washington, and Sheriff Jones, and Deputy Smith while in the midst of conducting an evangelistic service in Nazarite Hall on All Saints street. The letters threatened court authorities, charging them with misconduct in the trial of Charles Dorsey who was nearly lynched after the court had freed him of the charge of alleged criminal assault on a white woman. Since the receipt of letters demanding a large sum of money under penalty of killing members of the families of those to whom the letters were addressed, author of the letters cleverly eluded every trap set for his capture, in addition to post office inspectors other officers have been on his trail. About three weeks ago Postmaster Williamson, noticed Rev. Hall marking a sign on a garage on South Bentz street. The letters were similar to those contained in the letters of Baker, Judge Worthington, and Wertnebaker, whose watch was kept on the minister. Other information in the possession of the postal authorities also pointed to him, and he was jailed. Elder Stephan, of the local Seventh-day Adventist Church, told an AFRO representative that his denomination had no representation in Hagerstown, and Rev. Hall was probably of the Church of God and Saints of Christ. New York, Jan. 12.—Charles Edward Russell, white, Socialist writer and lecturer, tonight challenged President Harding to produce "any photograph or any other kind of picture of the impassable gulf between the white and black races, which he said existed." In a recent meeting of the N. A. A. C. P., he declared that no microscope could detect the slightest difference between the blood of whites and Negroes, and said this proved "that man is man, regardless of the color of his skin." Los Angeles, Cal., Jan. 12—"Sunshine Sammy", film star, Ernest Morrison, has signed a five-year contract with a big motion picture corporation here calling for $10,000 per year. AFRO FOR RENT ADS 30th YEAR No. 20 BANKERSTOBE CALLED BEFORE U.S. REFEREE Judge Rose Understood To Have Directed That Taylor and Jenkins Be Thoroly Examined RECEIVER MAKES REPORT Harry O. Wilson's Statement Shows Bankrupt Firm Spent Large Sum In Salaries Final report of Harry O. Wilson on the condition of the books of the bankrupt firm of Taylor and Jackson, bankers, makes some starting disclosures as to the business methods of the firm. Total assets of the insolvent bank indicate that the assets on paper are $5,741,818, and the liabilities on paper $84,250,16. The difference amounting to some thirty thousand dollars, according to the bank's own report, was spent in overdraft charges, including cent, eight cent, advertising, postage. The cost item is the expenditure of nearly $15,000 in salaries during the 27 months the bank was in business. The total income of the nominal assets of the bank, fifty thousand dollars, figured at 6 per cent, would be only three thousand dollars a year, so that the average expenditure for salaries above exceeded the maximum possible revenue of the bank. Judge Roe, it is understood, has directed the receiver and his counsel to have the bankrupts thoroughly examined before the referee in bankruptcy, as the case is one in which explanations are given. As a matter of course, the receiver will have to take possession of the property of both the bankrupts, including Taylor's holding in the catering company, which bears his name. It is understood the receiver will require into the circumstances surrounding the transfer of the Taylor dwelling at No. 205 Biddle street, to Thos. S. Kidman, the hotel keeper. The facts of this are the Wingate & Brown case obviously suggest that there should be more supervision of the business of occupied private bank- ASSETS $50781 The time sum was expended to run the bank in the twenty-seven months of its existence as follows: $476.10 officers, $6,220; Salary of employees, $8,576.62; Rent, $1,444; Held, $1,969.12; Labor and regis, $1,969.12; Wage, $1,458.12; Income, $1,617.68; Insurance, $225.52; Telephone and telegrains, $705.41; Furniture and fixtures, $1,507.86; Contributions, $102.71; Sunrise, $585.51; Legal service, $260.81; Filing, $374.88; Papers and magazines, $1,858; Commission investments, $1,116.00; Transactions, $2,191.60; Losses by the property of N. Y., $2,402.59; Lack of interest to depositors, $785.46. The weekly compensation for officers and employees as set down in the report show that Mr. Taylor drew $25 a week in 1920 and $35 in 1921. The week's pay, $25.50, was $25.50. Amy Calk, $12; Horbert Savoy, $10, plus commission; J. Nelson Fortune, $11, plus commission; Ben. Gray, $9; Theresa Crawley, $2; Leon Toye, $5; W. Jones, $85 per month; W. P. B. H. Harris, $50 per month; F. D. M. Cracken, $50 per month. While some of these employees had only been working for the bank five months or more all of them were on the payroll when the doors were closed in December, 1921. For HAITAN MINISTER Washington, D. C., Jan. 12—The name of Dr. C. M. Mates, leading colored physician in Leavenworth, Kansas, was presented to President Harding by Senator Curtis for the post of minister to Haiti. THE AFRO AMERICAN Year Contract BODDY KILLED TWO FEARING THIRD DEGREE BODDY KILLED TWO FEARING THIRD DEGREE "Sure Death" Luther Hunted Four Days By Thousands In Three States Amos Scott Tipped Off By Rev. Tindley, Affects Capture Philadelphia, Pa., January 12.—Captured by a sixty-year-old former colored prizefighter, who had just been elected first colored police magistrate, was the fate of Luther Boddy. "Sure Death Luther" he was called following his murder of two N. Y. white cops, who were taking him to the police station to put him through the third degree in the effort to connect him with a crime. Despite the fact that Boddy is easily picked out of a crowd because of a livid scar across his face, left from a wound caused by a fellow prisoner in Sing Sing several years ago, he successfully dodged the ten thousand cops of New York city, New Jersey, and thousands of other persons in Pennsylvania for four days. Clad in woman's attire, with trousers under his skirts, woman's shoes and a green veil and wig, he held up a taxicab and other autists and might have easily escaped except for Rev. C. A. Tindley and Magistrate Scott. The white newspapers say that some colored people hide colored criminals. When the white police force of the States failed, three colored men captured the desperado. Amos Scot is a hero today, and the necessity of having colored policemen on the force was demonstrated beyond fear of contradiction. BODDY'S CONFESSION Story Told Newspapermen Following His Arrest "This happened Thursday night about 8 o'clock. I was in Public School No. 89 and not on pay role, contrary to newspaper reports. But I went to see the parrot officer on, some other business. While, I was there talking to him these two detectives came "This happened Thursday night, about 8 o'clock. I was in Public School No. 89, and not on parole, contrary to newspaper reports. But I went to see the parole officer on, some other business. While, I was there talking to him these two detectives came in. "They waited until I got through talking and stood in the hall, and when I came out they started talking to me and asked me what I knew concerning the Rhodes shooting. So I told them I don't know anything about it," and they said, "How did this rumor get out that you did the shooting?" "I told them rumors do not get out. I am across the street there every day in the bootblack parlor. If you wanted me, why didn't you come after me?" "They they said, 'are not going to lock you up, we are just going to take you over to the station home and find out what you are about this.'" "Of course, in New York City, what they mean by taking you to the Station House is that they take you over and kick you around for two or three hours. I have had that done to me several times. I never was wanted for anything, but they just kicked me around, and when I would go home, stay in bed for a week and get up. "So I walked along with them, asking them not to take me over there, because I knew what was going to happen. They could have come over to the boothack puritor any day. They insisted on taking me and I walked along with them until we got within four or five blocks of the Police Station. "Then I guess my superior suddenly flared up. They should I go along to be beat up for nothing? It seemed everything went in a daze and I fired those shots at the officers that had me under arrest. I didn't know how many shots I fired and I ran away." Here follows the story of his flight. It is confusing, because he retraced his steps so frequently. Simply told, it begins with his ride in the subway down to the Hudson tubes. He stopped at Grove Street, Jersey City, and from there went to Newark. He was then dressed in men's clothes, with the disfiguring skin showing plainly. Feared To See Mother From Newark he headed for Montclair, where his mother lives. The police believe he visited his mother and obtained some money from her. Boddy denies this emphatically. He did not dare go near her home, he said, when he learned detectives watched it.

COLLEGE WOMEN TAKE IN WHITES Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Throws Bombshell Into Colored College Society ACTION UNPRECEDENTED Presence Of White Members In Secret Society May Cause It To Be Outlawed Special to the Afro-American Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 12. The Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority which held its annual session here recently threw a bombshell into the midst of the colored Greek letter fraternities by announcing several white women as honorary members. The Alpha Kappa Alpha's is the first and oldest organization among colored college women and was organized at Howard University thirteen years ago. Its white honorary members announced are, Jane Addams, a white social worker in Chicago, and Mary Durkee, wife of the President Howard University. Since all of the college Greek letter fraternities are secret societies with more or less of a racial as well as an educational program, its action has aroused bitterness and hostility in college circles. It is said to be the first time that any college secret organization of this type has taken action against white persons on both side are just as tightly drawn in the Greek letter societies of big white colleges who have always refused to take in colored members. Several members here have announced that they will take up action with other fraternities during the year and recommend to the Alpha Kappa with other white people or be outlawed from the colored fraternal world.

C., Jan. 10—The death of Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania, and the passing of Will H. Hays from the position of Postmaster General as per year, have absorbed all the high points in political gossip at the beginning of the New Year. To succeed Will H. Hays Senator Spencer has recommended Walter S. Dickey, white, manufacturer, newspaper owner and multimillionaire of Kansas City, Mr. Dickey is an unquestioned friend of the colored people, and knows them from "n to izard." He is a master of the political genre and very principial of opinion of opposing believers in big things, and believes that "to the victor belongs the spoils." Should Mr. Dickey be determined upon for the portfolio, a new Richmond would come to the front, in the person of William C. Hueston, of Kansas City, and Gary, ind. Hueston has been a "cheif lieutenant" of Mr. Dickey for years. Waiting On President the matter of appointments everybody is waiting on the President. What the President is waiting on has not been completed with high authority that the President proposes to take cure of Henry Lincoln Johnson in a handsome way. The appointment will be in keeping with the high esteem in which the President and Mr. Johnson's innumerable friends and "followers hack?" That seems to be the unhold him.

Mr. Dixon who is 57 years old, is employed as an elevator man in a white department store in Nashville. If his plans go through in every year he will have enough money to buy out the department store and run it himself. To most persons bailing wire is simply wire, but to Dixon, looking at all the rusty wire going to waste from bales of hay shipped into Nashville, rusty wire was rat traps. He pulled some wire off a bale, experimented with it and—got a patent. Hard & Hart, No. 100 Fifth avenue, are negotiating for permission to sell the patent right. Mr. Hardy admits the Negro will probably make a lot of money. He is said to have received already an offer of $25,000 in cash, or $5,000 down and 5 cents royalty. Dixon said he benefited his trap last July. Just to show how much rats liked it, he said, he entered two on a competition at the Commercial Club in Nashville, and in one night caught twenty-six rats in the big one and fifteen in the small one. Only one other trap entered caught any rats, and that Dixon said he had other inventions that ought, to pay him better than this one. He did not know whether he would keep his job after he got his money, but he would have to do something for he had worked too long to be able to quit. GIANT COLORED COP A TERROR TO WETS Wheeling, W. Va., Jan. 10.—Thomas Arrington, height six foot, weight, 254 pounds, color, brownstain, has been appointed deputy probation agent in this city. His appointment comes as a real reward for service rendered. Until now he has been a member of the local police force whose special was to fight bourgeois gangs, has made a good deal of bootlegging, Probation became a law than any other officer in West Virginia has made for all crimes put together. He is a confirmed probationist and always has been. Were he just an ordinary colored man it is firmly believed, race prejudice would prompt assert itself. But not in the case of Arrington, he hias the respect of all classes and enjoys the sincere fear of the rum poodlers. While hundreds of other policemen are still stabbed and even Federal agents have been dismissed for double-dealing since Probation, or have been charged with protecting bootleggers, no one has ever breathed a word against the integrity of Arrington. With many hundreds of arrests to his credit, he has never drawn his gun except to shoot the tires of rum-running automobiles. STORK VISITS REV. AND MRS. DODGES.

Dodges said: "See the Madam, she will tell you all about it." When congratulated by the writer, Mrs. Dodges made the following statement: "During my ten years of married life I have been childless and a constant sufferer from female trouble. In its worse form. Every month, I would put in a lease for or six days. On day I visited the Northwestern Pharmacy, 1200 Pennsylvania avenue to get a prescription filled. While waiting I saw a baby come in and get a bottle of Herbs of Life, and she told the clerk that it was the best medicine in the world. "After trying the doctor's medicine and getting no more results than usual, I decided to take Herbs of Life. At that time I would have taken anything. The first dose made me feel a little bad, but I kept it up and began to feel better and continued taking Herbs of Life until I had taken fourteen. I believe Herbs of Life is the most wonderful medicine in the world and easily see why the manufacturers have created such a world-wide reputation.

CLAIM WILLS- TATE FIGHT WAS FRAMED Western Fans Declare Referee Aims To Prevent Match Between Wills And Dempsey Jeer Official Who Stops Big Bout At End Of First Round New York City, Jan. 12.—Information is drifting in here that the recent Wills-Tate light at Portland, Oregon, was the biggest frame-up in recent history. The bout was regarded as an elimination contest to see which of the two men should challenge Dempsey for heavyweight honors. Near the end of the first round of the scheduled ten-round light, with Tate on the floor, down for the count, the referee declared him to be winner over Harry Wills. The big crowd of 3,500, who filled every space in the arena, could not understand the decision and jeered Referee Louitt, who made the announcement that he awarded the fight to Tate on a foul hecked him while coming out of a clinch. Chicago Paper Charges Frame-Up Chicago, IL.—Charging that the officials had no intention of allowing Wills to win the fight and that they had agreed to award it to Tate at the end of the 5th round, the special correspondent of the Chicago Whip says Harry Wills received a raw deal. It had never occurred to the officials that Whip would attempt to knock Tate out in the first round, so that the knock-out blow came they first counted Tate out and later called a foul. Terrific Blow Fells Tate Wills leaped at Tate like lightning and struck him a clean blow to the jaw. Tate fell like a brick wall. His legs flew from under him, and his shoulders hit the mat. I protested Tate Leilt and Kid Howard. Tate's manager, pickled him up and curried him to his corner. Louit then raised Tate's right hand, a sign of victory. Tate and Howard then left the ring and started for their dressing rooms. Wills was sitting in his corner with a puzzled expression on his face, wondering what was going on. Wills Still In Dark In a conversation with Wills after he had gone to his dressing room and domned street togs, he said he still was unable to explain the trend of affairs. He said he still was stopped, and was as much surprised as the crowd when the referee held up Tate's arm as a sign of victory. In the meantime the receipts are being held pending a review of the affair by the boxing commission. Purchases New Church HOUSE DEBATES ANTI-LYNGHING BILL 3 HOURS Eight And A Half Hours Of Discussion Remain Before Final Vote Can Be Called For Rep. Vaile Scores "Contemptible Pettiness" Of Texan's Arguments (Staff Correspondence) Washington, D. C., Jan. 11.—The House occupied three hours of its session here yesterday with debate upon the Dye Anti-Lynching Bill—11. 11. 13. leaving eight and one-thalf hours yet to be continued before the final vote can be called for. The Administration is determined to put the measure through this session, but is meeting the determined opposition of the minority Democrats, who consume much of the time in such dilatory meetings as roll calls and moves to adjourn. The climax of the session yesterday was the refusal of the Republican members to adjourn upon one of the many motions of Representative Garrett of Tennessee, and immediately following Representative Vaile of Colorado in a motion for the enactment of the Anti-Lynching Bill into a law referred to the "contemptible petition" of arguments against the measure on the part of Representative Buchanan of Texas. Madden (Ill.) Opens Debate Representative Madden opened the debate by saying that the "Anti-Lynching Bill" is not a bill in favor of the Negro particularly, "it is in favor of law and order," human rights, and the passage of the Dyer Bill would weaken the Republican party in the South. In an attempt to be factions, he declared that relatives of some colored lashes would have him lynched simply to draw the $10,000 line imposed upon any county under the provisions of his bill, which permitted a lynching to take place within its confines. He referred to colored people as a "race of tip-takers," and said they could never rise to become a race of rulers. He wrote of West Virginia, defended the constitutionality of the bill, declaring that the "institution guarantees every citizen a presentation by grand jury, when accused of crime, a trial by petit jury, compulsory attendance of witnesses for him and the right to be defended by counsel. Such rights he added were guaranteed by the fifth as well as the fourth amendment. He was frequently interrupted by Southerners, but read into the Record the report of former Governor Dursley, Georgia, and the statistics on yankees in the United States furnished by Dr. R. R. Moton, of Tuskegee. Maine Republican Opposes Representative Hersey of Maine, a Republican, created surprise by opposing the bill. He ignorantly referred to the Southwestern Christian Advocate, an M. E. Church paper, as the organ of certain societies formed to stir up race hatred, and declared that the "Republican Party owes the Negro nothing." Representative Little of Kansas cured the lynchings in the South as "the poorest barbarian," adding, "Unless our people leave their disputes to the courts it is only a question of time as to the collapse of the Republic." The Supreme Court, he said, had only declared 35 bills unconstitutional in the history of the nation, and Congress could afford to take another chance on the Dyer Bill. Representative Taylor, of Tennessee told of an incident in his district concerning the near-lynching of a colored man by a mob which stormed the jail to capture a man accused of assault. They were repulse, he said, and a few days afterwards the man's innocence was clearly proven by a positive Vale of Colorado not only stayed Representative Buchanan of Texas for his "interpreter passion" displayed in arguing against' the bill last week, but also wound up by saying, "Thank Cod I was reared in a different light."

THREE CHOIRS IN JOINT CONCERT John Wesley, Ebenezer and Sharp St. Delight Large Audience A musical treat, which is greatly becoming an annual fixture in our midst, took place at Sharp Street Memorial Church last Sunday evening. When the choirs of John Wesley, Ebenezer and Sharp Street Churches rendered a joint sacred concert before quite a large audience. On the occasion of the similar concert given last year, it was generally conceded that the hordes were carried off by John Wesley, but on last Sunday, all three choirs sang in uniformly well that it is difficult to say definitely which was entitled to the margin. However it is our judgment that Sharp Street came off first best, organists were, Mr. Thomas Mitchell, Ebenezer: Mrs. Elizabeth Wood, John Wesley, and Mr. Edwin Deck, Sharp street.

Both of these are fine features which every lover of good pictures will appreciate Nex Monday the opening attraction will be "Cappy Ricks" with Thomas Meighan as the featured player. This picture will be condensed for two days. On Wednesday and Thursday the audience will be the offering and on Friday and Saturday Win. S.

CAREY The week at the Carry was begin with "The Devil" starring George Adelis in the title-rôle, the same which he played when the play was produced on the speaking stage. This picture drew large audiences at every showing on Monday. On Tuesday "Shadows of the West" a 6-reeled production as the offering. With a Mack Sennett super-comedy as the additional entitled "Call A Cop." feature. Next Monday the opening attraction will be "The Green-eyed Monster" one of the best colored movies with an all-colored cast yet produced. Both in direction of photography, this production measures up to the best that is now being produced. A comedy by the same producers and as capably handled, will be the additional feature. On Tuesday the "Killer" a green thriller will be shown, on the same day a best Keaton comedy entitled "The Gold" will be offered, for the best time in any colored house. On the 21st Eddie Polo in the first episode of "The Secret Four" his best serial will appear. REGENT The Recent management has schooled another balloys-in their aggregate stage attraction which has been secured for this week, the last place, they have secured Jack Johnson who was at the Gaytie Theatre a few weeks ago in connection with a burlesque organization, for the star offerings. And Quinard Miller and his very capable organization of young players have been held over. Of course, Johnson is the multi-attraction, and a full house greeted him at both performances. Monday and applauded particularly when he appeared. Johnson's act consists of long stretching, a boxing exhibition with his sparing partner and demonstration of his strength in polling against a team of the twenty men. At the matinee, his apparatus for this latter feat had not arrived and thus this part of his act had to be postponed until the night performance. At the latter show the houses apparently got stagefright and refused to go through with their end of the performance and thus twenty men from the audience were called upon. With great leather cuffs around his heels to which ropes were attached, ten men each side tugging in opposite directions and his hands in holding a steel ring in his hand. Johnson demonstrated the mighty strength of a percetable giant. Quinard Miller and his players are offering a hotel sketch the first half. In this sketch, simple opportunity is furnished the principals of the company to confirm the splendid impression they made last week of possessing more than ordinary acting ability. Among those work was more pronounced in this line: he was Henriet Loveless whose work in "Blackface role was extreme with well-done and in great contrast to that of Porter" played last week. Miller was good in a straight role and "Monkey" Johnson worked hard to get fun out of the role of the porter who was masquerading as the "boss." A special word must be said also at this point, for a splendid solo song by Turcello Cuff who has a very pleasing voice. Others who did good work were Earle Cash as the "Cashman," Hugh Chapelle, the "Shields," Al Mahoneau, the diminutive little Baby Jones and Catherine choice. Two extra acts were offered as singles by Alma Smith, a very pretty young woman in songs and dances, and Billy Mitchell, an acrobatic dancer who seceded to "No lines in his feet. He also showed ability as a congistant, and well-received by the crowd. The bill was opened by Parker and Mack, one of the best singing and dancing duos in the business. Wm. Farnum in "Rough and Read" was the main screen offering. RAINBOW Hardack Jackson and his 20th Century Wonders, were held over for another week at the Rainbow making the third of their engagement at this house. On Monday an accident kept Jackson, out of the show, thus the burden of the fun-making, fell upon the shoulders of Paul Floyd. And right nobly did he respond to the demands that was made upon him, for he kept the audience in an upright by his auties and criticisms all the time he was before the nightlights. A pleasing feature of the show was a shadowgraph exhibition by members of the museum. Another feature which made a big hit was the staging of the original Jackson quartet composed of Harry Jackson, first tenor, Alexander Jackson, second tenor; Frank Holmes, baritone and Alphonse Robinson, bass. These boys never sang to better advantage than they did Monday evening and they were called before the audi- Picture Program Week Beginning Monday, January 16th MONDAY AND TUESDAY M. J.

All these acts were well-received by the opening audiences, but the margin of applause went to the performers, jugging, yodling and imitations are familiar hereabouts. He won thunderous applause for his work. Next to Anderson, the other outstanding favorites appeared to be Reynolds and Jones by the same makeup and accents of a typical Jew.

Chattanooga Teen, Jan. 6. There was but slight evidence of discontent at holders of the Theatre Owners Booking Association held here yesterday and concluded in the wee small hours of today. Rather than the revolt against the present administration that was rumored to occur; the meeting proved to be an overwhelming indignement of the executives who organized in circuit and piloted it through its first year. Chrissie Beemer, of the Lyric Theater, New Orleans, was elected president for the ensuing year. Milton H. Starr, of the Bifon, Nashville, retiring to accept the newly created position of business manager. Charles S. Tarpin, owner of the W.

This company with the exception of two members with that event has been the big hit at the same theatre last year. Miss Burgoyne is one of the most talented theatrical artists that visits the local house. Before organizing her present company, she spent 6 years in Europe where she worked in large continental cities as a classic dancer. She in selecting her company, surrounded herself with a group of young players who were capable of measuring up to the standard she had set for herself, and has been blistering reception wherever she has appeared. No more pleasing group of entertainers have appeared at this house for many moons than this organization. Among those whose work shows to fine advantage are first. Miss Burgarye who makes a big bill with an arm and a big hat, Mrs. Cassay, straight; Johnny Larue and Millard McConn first and second comedian respectively who created a "riot" with their knock-about comedy antics; Zerbaia Larue who won several cheques for her fine condition of Truck, the remarkable conditionist; Raymond Wallace who is a great favorite at the Lincoh, with his manouflage baritone blues numbers; and Bessie Simms, Olive May McNally; Anonda Craig and Frances Johns, who made up the chorus, and a lively and highly accomplished one at that.

JAN. 6, 1922 BIRTHS EXCEED DEATHS BY 496 IN BALTIMORE Figures For Last Year In City Still Show Comparatively High Death Rate MARRIAGES OVER 1279 Divorces During The Same Period Estimated At Nearly Nine Hundred Births among colored people during the past year, 1921, exceed deaths in Baltimore city by 649, according to figures made available by the Health Department yesterday. Commissioner Jones declared, however, that there may be some corrections in these figures to be made later. The Health Department does not issue any weekly or monthly bulletins on births, but the number of deaths was stated as 2,278 for the year, indicating a death rate of 21 per 1,000 population, which is comparatively high compared with the death rate of 13 per 1,000 for all the colored people in the United States. Poor hospital facilities, and lack of any municipal of State institution for the care and treatment of consumptives can account in part for Baltimore's high death rate, as well as the high rate of infant mortality. The clerk of the Court of Common Pleas makes no discrimination as to the number of colored people who secured marriage licenses during the year, but from figures compiled by the AFRO-AMERICAN, from its columns week by week, 1,297 couples took out permits to wed. Corrections and additions to this list will unobtrudely bring the total up to 1,500 couples. The high rate of divorces in the city also continues. From figures made available by the colored lawyers of the city, 892 colored couples secured decrees of limited or absolute divorce. These figures represent estimates only however, because the Circuit Court does not keep its record of colored people separate. SMITH CASE IS STILL GOING ON Motion of Attorney Warner T. McGuinn for a new trial for Samuel Smith, a claustrophen convicted in the local criminal court for criminal assault in shooting, white girl, was heard by the Supreme Bench Tuesday and Wednesday, when Mr. McGuinn consumed four hours with his argument. Thursday states Attorneys Leach and Jennifer took up the rebuttal and may conclude today. Unless Mr. McGuinn wins his contention that the decision of the judges in convicting Smith was contrary to the evidence, Smith will come up for sentence. The maximum penalty for this crime is hanging. Mr. McCulloh painstakingly went thru the two thousand pages of testimony taken at the original trial and declared that the prosecution had left more than a reasonable doubt as to Smith's guilt. Sampson Jones Freed Sampion Jones, positively identified by Margaret Anderson, white as the man who assaulted her near Spurrows 'point in September, was freed by a jury before Judge Duncan in the Baltimore County Court Wednesday. In spite of the white woman's positive identification, Jones proved an alibi, proved that she did not have clothes such as the woman's real assailant wore, and that he did not have a revolver.

Cussed Or Taken A Drink Although Mr. James Thomas is well known and liked in the North- west section of the city, where he serves as the junitor of Union Bapt- ist Church, he has never really had an honest-to-goodness birth- day. Mr. Thomas knows that he was sixteen years old when the Civil War started and twenty years old when it ended, according to the Virginia white people who held him a slave at that time, but he doesn't know what date his birth- day falls on. "Just say I am entering my se- venty-eighth year," he said. Mr. Thomas is a typical represen- tative of the generation which believed in strict morality. "I have never been to a dance," he told a representative of the AFRO-AMERICAN, "never attended a theatre, never cussed, and never had a drink." He attributes his excellent health to his steady employment and temperate habits. The following persons were remembered by the Mine, C. J.

Mrs. Susie Wyatt Lured To McCulloh Street House And Outraged STRIPPED OF CLOTHING Men Then Thrust Her Into Street Hardly Able To Walk While walking down McCullah street last Friday afternoon Mrs. Susie Wyatt, about 38 years, 1224 McCullah street, was met by a man who asked her to come to his home and dress his wife's hair. Mrs. Wyatt said she would and followed the man to his home, as she thought. When they reached his home, which was on the third floor of an apartment house on McCullah street, the door was opened and she walked into the kitchen, only to be confronted by five men. They were all drunk and immediately gathered around her. They told her that they were going to assault her, and pushing her into the bedroom she was stripped of her clothing and criminally assaigned by four of the men, then allowed to dress and go. Surely able to walk Mrs. Watt went to her home, then notified the police of the Northwestern district. Several hours later, Sergeant police of the Northwestern district.

The young ladies in this class are very much interested in this work. Dean MeCoy is doing wonderful work with his "Trig" Class with the limited equipment he is in great need of surveying in instruments. Several new students were en- ployed upon the re-opening of school, January 3rd. Many more will enter at the beginning of the Second Semester, February 1st.

Gerrh, (white) prohibition agent accused of the murder of Horace Brown in a midnight raid on automobiles on the Belair Road December 27, 1920. The verdict followed instructions by Judge Rose in which the Court dealt with the justification of use of weapons by Government agents under certain conditions. He was charged with manslaughter. Gerrh, related his story as to how he was shot twice after firing was started from the machine in which Brown rode. The agent said that he took up the firing directing his shots at the tires of the machine, which was running to a high speed in an effort to escape the dry squad. A bullet passed through the back of Brown's head and he died a week or two later in a hospital. The agent was shot in the right side and right check. He said he did not know he was shot in the face until he was laid on the operating table in St. Joseph's Hospital where he remained in a serious condition for nearly three weeks. Instructing the jury Judge Rose pointed out that a Government agent on detail was justified in shooting, especially when his quarry was fired back and when the official was not using his weapon in a reckless manner. The prosecuting witnesses were all occupants of the car in which Brown was sitting, the wielding his weapon, Martin Butler, James Butler, Clarence Butler, Flora Butler and Deisy Brown, all residents of Baltimore. All six declared they were on their way from Philadelphia to Baltimore on the night of the shooting and that Brown was sitting in the rear seat of the auto between two of the women when shot from behind. He nor either of the others in the auto had any pistols. They claimed they were stopped once by dry agents and that after satisfying the officers that no whiskey was in the car continued on their way. Seven minutes later the defense witnesses alleged, the dry agents opened fire from behind and shot Brown. Florence Butler, said she could point out the man that did the shooting as he was standing in front of the car used by the prohibition men but after his two attackers and the Butler woman pointed him out as the man who fired the shot. For the defense George C. Smith (white) a grocer on Belair Road, Fred T. Rose the dry agent with Gerth when the shooting occurred, Edgar Carr (colored) chauffeur for the agents and John Duff and David R. Sacks (white) apperent in the scene. Butler attempted to buy some cartridges in his store a short time before the shooting occurred. A copy of the dying deposition of Brown was read to the court by Justice Roddeder of the Northwestern District which Brown made to him. Brown in the deposition said that members of his party did not know that Gerth and the others were Federal agents. He also said the shot were fired at the Butler car, the third shot taking effect. No shots were fired at the prohibition men the dying man said in his deposition. WIEE HANDLES WICKED GUN Under Heavy Bail For Thrice Making Target Of Better Half Threatening to shoot her husband, William H. Dennis, 128 Winter street, Mrs. Sarah Dennis was committed to jail in default of $500 bail in Magistrate McAllisters' Court in the Southern district last Friday. Dennis testified that he had just been discharged from the hospital as a result of his wife having shot him on November 27 last. Another time he said she shot him in the stomach for which she was sentenced to one year in the penitentiary. Maryland Girl Made Dr. Eva B.

MANY JOBS OPENING FOR DAY LABORERS "Colored men are being put to work just as fast as I get work for them," said Ross A. Miller (white head of the Municipal Employment Bureau, to a reporter last Friday. "I find that the laboring colored man is far more efficient than the white man. He knows how it should be done. I intend to give every man a fair chance and employ every colored man I can. Last week 42 men were given work at Liberty Heights, and I expect to hire quite a few next week. All men hired on emergency work will be paid $2.50 a day under the congregate agreement by the city for the months ago." Mr. Miller said he was surprised to know the number of colored men in Baltimore with families that have been living here for the past eight or ten years, and are not registered voters. Mrs. West Determined To Get A Divorce By her attorney J.

MAY APPOINT COLORED AS SPECIAL OFFICERS Mayor Broening Is Willing If Residents Will Play Them When a reporter asked Mayor Broening last Friday if he intended to appoint colored men as police officers in colored districts he said: "I see no reason why they shouldn't be if the residents are willing to pay them. I do not intend to show any discrimination. The amount each resident will be asked to pay has not yet been agreed upon. A case may be agreed upon. Should this plan to aid the unemployed be successful, it will last until spring."

WONT ACCEPT EXCUSES Lack Of Funds Not Re- sponsible For Absence Of Class-Rooms The Grand Jury Committee that visited Cheltenham found much food for thoughtful consideration. It's report declares: The whole organization seems predicated upon an incorrect conception of modern reformatory methods and its management box. In connection with the fact that the inmates are colored and naturally more deficient than white boys, it would seem that the management and those methods which have been so successfully employed at the Maryland Schools for boys, modified or implied as the case may be, might be profitably copied. Pending a complete reorganization and re-establishment of this institution we recommend great cleanliness in the dormitories or regulations for our management of sanitary requirements and the education of the boys as the major organization instead of being the other as it is now. Too much stress is laid upon the lack of funds as being the cause for making the farming out of the boys, the greater consideration. It is in the opinion of the Grand Jury a shortsighted policy that is responsible for the failure of those who are charged with the existence and management: of this place and of the State to allow it to continue in the way it is being run, any longer. If it is a reformatory it should aim to reform boys and not to punish them is a new law. But more than this, it should count them as the world have to have instead of making it necessary to fight the world as it now does. The whole thing should be reorganized and it to do this requires more ado- mate support by the State, the State can well afford to do it, for the future results will more than justify it. MELVILLE SCHOOL FOR GIRLS The Committee that visited this school found all conditions good and only words of communication for the management. The Committee that visited this institution was impressed with the discipline of the work performed and the manner in which it was done. The con- firmation nothing to criticise or find credit with. Fifty Cents Fails To Hold Up Wedding Had it not been for the thoughtfulness on the part of Russell Brown last Friday to take two friends with him to secure a marriage license, he would have been refused a license to wed. This would probably have deprived the wedding, which would have meant bad luck, if the old saying that a delayed wedding means unhappiness is true. The first is, Mr. Brown found he only had $1.50 in his pocket with which to pay for his license, which cost $2.00. Immediately he gave his friends a troubled look, and after a rigid sarch they raked up the other 50 cents. He left the office with a broad smile.

Baltimore street, at the corner of Mount and Frederick avenue. Henton was said to have been going at a rate of 45 miles an hour, and that his car turned over three times before it stopped. Those injured were: William Jones, 906 Park avenue, probable fractured skull; Charles McKay, 907 Park avenue, about hands and wrist; back; Mitchel Henton, 800 Vine street, broken jaw and deep cut under right eye, and Miss Elma Railing (white), 766 W.

It could not be ascertained whether the car had been stolen or whether it was a case of boy-riding. Taylor said he was bound west on Frederick avenue when Henton crushed into him.

JUST KIDS Colored Distance Streak Who Won Three National Championships Last Year America's Best Marathon Ben Associated, Negro Press Pittsburgh, Pa., Jan. 11. Americans are in the hole for the Paris Olympic marathon of 1924 in East Johnson, the Negro from Pittsburgh, who appears to possess all the qualifications of a great distance runner, according to a leading sport writer. He has style, speed and stamina, the attributes of a real runner. Without having a prepared himself it is on record that right off the road and when he had tanned he was to run but a dozen miles stopped along in perfect form and showed winning ability over a route of a score miles. He has close to the ground action so necessary for a marathoner. And by his running over different distances from two to ten miles he has shown himself without a peer in the United States. WHO THE TRI MU'S ARE Captain Dorsey Enlightens Inspiring Fans, And Says "Y" Avoids Game To the Sports Editor of the Afro: In answer to the many questions as to the origin of the Tri Muts who have been a winning "dark horse" in lightweight basketball circles this season, the following statements will to some extent enlighten the public: This team represents an adult young men's field class of Sharp Street Memorial Church, organized and chartered in 1912, and named Tri M's, which means literally 2 M's. We seek to develop the MIND, MOCAS, and MUSCLES herefore, the class fees only stressed the development of the mind and bonds of its members, but with access to the time "gym" of the Community House—to which the class has donated much equipment—increases turned instantly to the development of the muscles of those young men through indoor tennis, indoor baseball, volleyball and basketball. In the latter field, with two twogames to his credit, Capt. Bussy with the bat of the Champions Brook and Charlie with the ball of the Winner break and locally capture the championship. In the line-up are such stars as Sam Wilson, Horace and "Nunes" Brown, Harry Thomas, Monroe Scott, Bernard Whiting, "Nick" Powell, Bret Bremen and the "thongs" Cap Dressey, Chintney Brooks, and "Garble" Powell. Dr. Monroe Scott, manager of the film's production, took the role of a game with the "W" since November 26th, but the latter's physical director evades the challenge by saying he is "filled up at present." SCHOOLS PREPARE FOR BASKETBALL With soccer out of the way, public schools are preparing for the AFRO-AMERICAN Public Athletic league basketball series which starts February 1st. Mr. E. C. Freiecks, of the Public Athletic League, who will direct the games, announces that he secured the gymnastics of the U.S. national team on Monday and Thursday, afternoon from 2:20 to 6 and the gymnastics of the Y. M. C. A. Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday atogonies abstem from 2:20 to 6. These two places will be open to all school leagues for practice purposes and opening of the basketball league. This is the first basketball league in the colored school schools and it is expected that rivalry will be keen for the honor of winning the first pennant offered as well as other prizes to the AFRO will winners. By W. E. R. Business Men Needed Elsewhere on this page will be found the last of a series on the colored baseball situation written by Mr. Andrew (Hubs) Foster, who has been following these articles and has struck with the seriousness of the indictments which the noser of colored baseball has charged against the race, both lay and professional in regard to the game. In these articles, Mr. Foster has pointed out the necessity of coloring clothes in the cities of the country getting into the game as promoters it colored baseball is to throw off the swaddling clothes which according to Mr. Foster, now impedes its advancement. He has likewise, told of the hard struggle he has had with an embroidered state, so far as has him within his power and the timeless way his efforts in this direction have been received by his managerial associates. Concerning Umpires He has discussed the subject of umpires, and in no uncertain language has declared that, while the time is ripe for colored baseball arbitrators, and furthermore, that he stands ready and willing to play, he will with few exceptions fall far short of qualifying at present in this important official capacity, and must undergo a thorough and rigid apprenticeship before he can hope to convince both managers and spectators that they have reached the point in passing that "umpires" not enough of our own John "Cromwell as an umpire at thack Sox Park to offer him a job in the Negro National League. Most Serious Of Indictments Likewise, he has discussed the playing end of the game, and in our judgment, it is in this phase of the matter that is to be recognized the most serious of his indictment; so with his charge that players were fined for not refreshing colored colleges, are "the greatest whiskey drinkers, greatest hirs and greatest construct jumpers" he has ever encountered. Anyone having knowledge of the number of years Mr. Foster was in baseball, will think wise before taking any pointed exception to any of those indictments, feeling any such exceptions to be in the nature of an imprisonment. But we cannot pass his latter charge of Mr. Foster's without stopping to look at the others, because if it is true, it is not only a collection on the college graduates in question but it is likewise a reduction on colored colleges. Reflection On Colleges? That it is a collection on each college is to be found in Mr. Tyster's statement of the disappointment he has not in this class of players, because he naturally expected from them more playing ability and a superior grade of general department that was not expected from the unmanned player. To use his exact words: "Baseball among the whites was on the downward grade until the Big League owners and scouts went into the colleges and brought out the college athlete who purified the situation and brought baseball up to his present high standard by coloring the same method went into the colored colleges and brought out a number of baseball players believing their superior knowledge and 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." He then proceeds to make the college-ball player already mentioned; with the additional charge that the latter class of players are running colored baseball. Baseball As A Business We do not believe that Mr. Foster meant his charges to be regarded in the light of a "knock" against colored college graduates or the colored colleges, but the period of upward advancement which the race is passing through has assessed a greater responsibility on Negro schools, in so far as the moral welfare of their graduates is concerned, than attaches to white schools. And he fact that the black men whose moral and intellectual development does not measure up to that of players who have not had such advantages is nothing less than a charge of dereliction on the part of such schools. However, it is our belief that it is less the fault of the schools than of the inherent nature of the offenders. That they are what they are, not because of their college training, but in spite of it. And furthermore, while we are not questioning the fact that he is our employer and then it is our opinion that much of the purity that has come to white baseball is due to the high type of whitenemen who of late years have come into the game and made it a legitimate business. In this way, they have imbued their players with the business instinct: that they are employees whose length of service with their employer depends upon the amount of industry, sobriety and fidelity they bring to their "job" and that when they fall in this, they are "bearded." And it is our further conviction that when the colored business men Mr. Foster asks for, come into colored baseball on the same principal, the same purifying processes will evaporate. ```markdown ``` FRIDAY, JAN. 13, 1922 THE VAN THE THE VAMP & THE VIRGIN Afro's Serial Love Story Of Negro'Life Afro's Serial Love Story Of Negro'Life (Protected by the Kelley Newspaper Feature Service) (Protected by the Kelley Newspaper Feature Service) Synopsis—Christopher Bowling, an unisophisticated Harvard student, known to his classmates as the Virgin, meets Beatrix Marley a beautiful colored girl of Boston and accompanies her home.

One pense moment, then Beatrix's father gave his neck a twist and a shake and flung him violently toward the door. The house, you young cur. Out of the house. Beatrix's father was a big, strong man in a rage; he followed the Virgin as it to kick him. But Beatrix darted past him and up to the Virgin, and seized the Virgin's cur. and up to "A college student!" said Edie Virgin's wrist. Marley, "So you're one of the guys who don't abuse themselves.

Father, you don't know what you're doing." She shouted, big black unmasked face swelling with anger. "You don't, you don't. I won't let him go like this; he's done nothing wrong." She said. "I also said a calm voice at the stairway; and an elderly boy entered the room. "Mother, mother!" cried Bairis. "father doesn't understand at all. He thinks Chris, ..." "that asked her mother, still cabn. "That smoking young found there!" broke in the father.

"You can see Chris has done nothing to be ..." "What do you mean by anything?" the father mean in his. Mary looked at her with her hair all over her face, just as I found her, and then trying to get me. "Oh, father," grounded Bairis, "can't you take my word for it?" "Not," he shouted, and his voice made the chandelier rattle, "I know she says." Bairis' son trained the girl She sprang away from the mute Virgin and freed her parents like a fury, the blood rushing to her face, she smiled at her father, she smiled at her father. "You insult me without giving me a chance to clairmure itself. Then you are innocent. Then you are innocent. I told you he was innocent. It's the truth, and if you are determined not to believe me you are not. It doesn't matter. Girl? A mighty innocent picture you are, with your father." Edward, said Beatrix's mother, who was the coolest head present. "let me ask some questions. I've been observing all of you, and there is any way so very terrible." "Why don't you tell how you were hugging him, too?" granted her father. "Yes, I was doing that, too." Yes, he had boldly. "Furthermore, it was all on my own initiative. I enticed Chris; he had no idea of kissing me at first; he never in his life kissed any girl but me." "My God, Beatrix?" said her father. "You let him tell you that." "I did," she said, unshaken, "and I believed him, I believe him yet. He is the only young man in that I'd believe it of." 3 months course? Our system has years of study and application: E. Lottie A.

He could not stand by and let Beatrix take all the blame. It didn't happen his way. He didn't want to kill me, he made her." "And for making her, you young dog?" said Edward Marley, "I'll break... I'll dog, Mr. Marley"; the Vinage broke in, Defending Beatrix and brought him back to himself, which meant that no man could call him a dog with him. He didn't make me kiss him; said Beatrix, "he's only trying to shield me, a better look to shielding himself"; said Edward Marley, "If you hit him hit me"; said Beatrix, rushing back to the Virgin. "You get out of here and don't let me ever see you around here; No, no," said Beatrix, holding on to the Virgin, "I won't have him insulted like that. If you hit him out I'll go out with him."

"You don't know Chris, Father," said Batrix, again indignant. "This is the only Boston or Cambridge house he's been inside of. He's also been in the house but for an accidental meeting. I'm the only girl in Boston that he knows." "I suppose he's got you believing that, too," grumbled her father. "But it's true, father, don't you suppose I've asked all the other girls if they knew him?" "What was the accidental meeting you spoke of?" asked her mother. "Was Monday evening two weeks ago." "Yes, sir," she said with mock neckness. "I had just spent the afternoon at Bertha Nelson's in Cambridge and was on my way home. The custodian stopped to watch the animal fight between the sophomores and the freshmen. There were hundreds of them; they crawled upon the pavement and was caned to it. Chris saw him and came to my rescue. I had been knocked about in the crowd. I was scared, and I fainted. He carried me into the station and brought me safely and I waited till he went to his dormitory and changed his clothes. Then he saw me home. We've never introduced." And from what I saw you don't need to be to her father, who could not get the picture out of his mind. What father could? "But, my father," said her mother, "you never told me anything. No, imnum, I promised Chris to keep it secret." "Why a secret?" she said her mother reprovingly. "And why such a rapid acquaintance with a man "You don't know Chris. He's never been seen with a girl and he feared the boys would tease him lawfully. They call him that his blood might kill him; more ever thinks of calling him Bowling or Christopher. And he was not really a stranger to me, I knew him from hearing so much about him! the boys who come here—you know them like a fortwell, Phil Worden and the rest—they were always full of jokes and stories about the Virgin. So our meeting wasn't so very irregular after all." I see, "said her mother, "Mr. Bowling, I am pleased to meet you. I did not know how much we are indebted to you." She extended her hand and the Virgin took it. He found a friend in this elderly lady with the wise eyes and benevolent face. "Now you too, papa," said Beatrix. "I guess I'll wait awhile," said her father, drily.

THE RO-AMERICAN HOW TO MAKE A RENTED ROOM LOOK HOME LIKE Do you know how to make a roofted room look homelike? A friend of mine who has lived a wandering life for some years, moving from one rented room to another, has reached such perfect comfort that too desolately in rented rooms that I feel I ought to share her methods with my readers. 3 Things She Carries With Her Of course, many of you have rented rooms and never expect to, but one can never tell what one may be called upon to do. And thousands of young people in every city must be living away from home in rented rooms, and is not possible for her to carry many bulky accessories. Of course, anyone can make a room look pleasant by carrying enough things, but art is that she carries little and does not spend much money. Three things she always does carry. One is a small shadow light with enough length of cord so that it can be placed anywhere. The second considers absolutely essential, as no room can look other than dismal without high lighting. She also carries her own puff which fluff over the color of oil and makes her independent of insufficient or unsatisfactory bed clothing. The third article is a pretty cretonne cover for her trunk which thereby offers a shade of oil and a shade of the hump, the puff, and the cretonne cover should be in the same tones, of course. As she thinks yellow brightens a room she considers it is less of her color scheme. The things she buys are these: One dark desk blotter for the desk, or the table which she asks for if the room is not of good design and color which she says can be picked up for ten cents. (The last time I saw her room she had a most artistic one of glazed brown pottery, a stuff of similar cost. Some yellow tissue paper out of which she fashion simple shades for the wall lights. A person of great artistic perception and appreciation so she takes down most of the pictures that she finds in the rooms she runs. In place of these she puts two or three of the beautiful green pottery and the Sunday supplements supply us with nowadays. She mounts on some simple cardboard—mount of her own designing, and hangs them from time to time. Sometimes, when she is to be for several weeks at any place she has a few bulbs growing in another of the inexpensive artistic The Finest Ornament of All!

Where there is mutual respect between a child and its guardians there is no impudence or imperfection—for these two undesirabes are but disrespect expressed. Knowing this the father and mother of the impudent child should ask themselves. "Do we show this child the respect that we wish it to show us? Do we speak to it in the tone of voice we wish it to copy when addressing us? Do we treat it as courtly, all things considered, as we wish it to treat us and others?" I wonder if you can answer "yes" to these questions. I am sorry to say that I very much doubt it—few parents, unfortunately, can answer in the affirmative. Besides, if you could answer "yes" to these questions have occasion or take the trouble to an article regarding impaired children. And so if you are seeking help in the correction of injury, remember well that a show and remember well that a remodel invariably mirror and equip your own attitude towards it—and age can rightfully be no more important to youth than youth to adults. Nor should youth be impatient to youth. Boys and girls should learn from the beginning that impatience and incessance to other children is an important crime age, is quite as great a breach of good breeding as impatience to older girls. This is a rock foundation for context and clarity throughout life. There is generally a child of spirit who will not occasionally even heated speech, but because of this a young person is not necessarily impatient. It is only when each outburst is habitual that a child becomes heated, then, mindfuls, it's time for that child's children to search for the moves in their own eyes. It is likely to say very many things quite unearly, and this possibility should be taken into consideration before sometimes an explanation is required rather than a scolling.

The Elder is in bad humor this, filled that contain a morning.

And this Eamous Contique Said To Be Com- templating Entry Into Serious (Associated Negro Press) ... Chicago, Ill., Jan. 10. Bert W. William, who is now starring in Chicago, may soon enter the serious drama, according to information gained here. One of the leading dramatic critics of the city recently commented on this fact, in a daily paper, he said: "The melancholy twinge of Terry Williams' chief song in "Under The Hampton Tree," and the remarkable spell under which it holds the audience makes us wonder why Williams does not attempt soon what he has long claimed as his ambition, namely, the playing of a reed drama by a song he wrote. "I would like to race as sympathetically as Mr. Warfield a certain class of American citizens in the 'Amateurer.' Each of us who has Negro blood is one that never fails to stamp on the heart or the spirit its racial traits. The laughter I have done is only on the surface. Now I would like to strive deeper. My pin has done this amply as he amplified an artist as Williams. Aside from any problems of our American Negro citizens and the stage as a proper place to give them hearing, it is true that in one of the richest fields for the Amegian dramatist only the surface has been scrutied KINKY HAIR BECOMES (LIKE PICTURE) Fluffy, Soft, Silky, Long By— Herolin COMOAD HAIR DRESSING.

BALTIMORE, MD FRENCH DEPUTY IS FOR HOME RULE Startles Paris With Speech For Change Of Govern- ment In French Colonies NATIVES LOVE FRANCE Only European Nation Which Acknowledges Equality Of Races Paris, France, Dec. 21. "We are beginning to lose faith in France. But we must not lose faith, because France represents and must continue to represent for all, justice, liberty and fraternity." In these words, Rene Boissef, colored member of the Chamber of Deputies voted his protest in the French parliament last week against the government's methods of handling the colonies. M. Boissef is deputy from Gauceloup and one of the three colored members of the three colored members of the French chamber, represented altogether, including Martineau, Renunion and French Guiana. He called attention to the fact that Senegal with a black population of twelve million, more than the colored population in America has only one deputy while the great French colonies in Morocco, Madagascar, French Sudan, Equatorial Africa and Hindi Hima have none. Nice people in the world populated by colored ones there exists a warm feeling for France because of the French recognition of the principle of racial equality. Nothing shows the freedom from color prejudices better than the following colony when Bosein, coal black, began to speak: Rene Bosein (colored) —1 tell you that things are going badly in the colonies. Opporter of the Budget (white) —Oh, everything looks black to you. Boissner—No. I am not looking at myself. But I am looking at you, and that makes me see the whole situation as very pale and sad. I will you that the colonies are suffering. But it is not sufficient merely to realize that fact. You must make it your business to find a remedy. Not a grape or a feeding marked the colonies play on color. There was probably less embarrassment than if one American Congressman joked anotherthekia a german had joked a fellow member about his red hair. Laws of Empire Still Enforced. But, though the personal part of the debate was casual and good-natured in the extreme, the meat of the black deputy's speech was serious. He began by saying that the French colonies are casual and rude during the empire and that they have never benefited by the change of the mother country to a republican form of government. "It is sad to state," he said, "that all the general laws regarding the colonies were made under the colonies were made by the former monarchist regimes. Offers Way Out The ordinary pet and easiest and best solution of the difficulty, he said, was financial law incorporating the several budgets of the colonies in the regular French budget where they would come regularly under the attention of the Chamber of Deputies. "Of the phrase, 'There is only one France,' we must take a reality," he said. DEACON CATCHES PREACHER IN RAID Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 2—When Deacon Thomas Fauks sent a detective, led by a squad of policemen into an alleged gambling house at Thompson in Pennsylvania, they arrested Rev.

TWO LYNCHED IN FLORENCE, S. C. Cracker Mob Objects To White Woman And Colored Man Living Together RIDDLED WITH BULLETS --- Man And Companion Slain Woman Forced Into Exile Florence, S. C., Jan. 12—Two unknown men were lynched by a mob of whites Sunday night in the Black River section of Williamsburg County near Florence County line. The body of one of the men was riddled with bullets. In his pockets were found a number of letters from a white woman with whom he had been accused of intimate relations. It is stated that the woman had been driven out of Williamsburg County recently on this account and had moved over the line into Florence County. The white woman and colored man liked each other and were very frequently seen together. He was at her home Saturday night when the mob approached. Leaping into a buggy he and another Negro man with him attempted to elude the men, which followed in hot pursuit, being the back of the buggy. With her baby in her arms, the woman escaped into the woods and spent the night there going to Kingstree when the sun rose and asking for protection. She was given sufficient money to pay her railroad fare to Hartsville. A woman with rifle Burch stated that he had not been notified of the lynching and was with out any information concerning it.

D., January 12— (Special to Afro-American) The alleged blood-shot shooting of two American soldiers in France, one by a private at the direction of an officer, and the other by a lieutenant, was described by Polk Golden, of Newman, Ga., former soldier. Charles P. Green, of Minneapolis, told of seeing two dead Negro soldiers brought into a morgue at St. Nazaire, France. "A sergeant told me that the nigger killer gets a Negro nearly every time he goes on guard." The startling accusation that an African lieutenant-colonel by the name of "Han" or "Haan" directed the illegal lynching of two American Negro soldiers at Gieves, France, was made late today by Hurry W. Siegel, of Dorchester, Mass. Siegel declared that he saw the two Negro soldiers pulled out of bed and hanged.

The campaigns for structuring the schools required schools to be equipped widespread cooperation between white and ignored citizens in thirteen Southern States.

WOI:K. No one enjoys poor health. While your grit hasts, you can you will. Most of us need to eliminate the expression IF I SHOULD LIVE AND NOTHING HAPPENS from our minds. Think upon what you will do tomorrow, and if you die, others will do your thinking for you. In the days of Ralph Waldo Emerson, he found most folks unwilling to trust their wit for making their homes pleasant to their friends, and so they bought ice cream. Nowadays we still cannot trust ourselves to entertain company with conversation alone, and we therefore bring out our HOME BREV. Don't be ashamed of small tasks. If its your job to care for furnaces, or wash clothes or sweep rooms, do it the best you know how. Regard your calling, your little job is important as if you were a great statesman about to wage a campaign for a great cause Baltimore Did Why is that Marylanders have no large celebration of the day upon which Lincoln issued his Emancipation Proclamation, January 1st. (1863). In most of the Southern states New Year's day because of this added significance has become for colored people the biggest holiday of the year. Even as far North as Pittsburg, Pa., this year there were parades of thousands in costumes, patriotic meetings, addressed by eloquent speakers, and the general festive attitude attending an enthusiastic holiday. Baltimore passed over the occasion as is its wont without a ripple disturbing the city's usual course of events. Except for casual mention there was no reference to the day or its significance. Has the new generation of Baltimoreans forgotten the tradition of its parents? Or is it true that so many of Baltimoreans and so many Marylanders were free at the time of Lincoln's great emancipation proclamation, that they were not affected by it? Perhaps some of our wiser readers can enlighten us. Why Not The 24th Infantry? If the War Department finds it necessary to comply with the Senatorial Committee's recommendation to keep an armed force in Hayti, is there any reason under God why that force must be white marines? Three weeks ago the Adjutant General informed the AFRO-AMERICAN that the 9th Cavalry is stationed in the Philippines; the 10th Cavalry at Fort Huachuca, Arizona. The 24th Infantry, less Cos F. & G. and 3rd Battalion, is stationed at Camp Furlong, Columbus, N. M. Cos F. and G. are at Hachita, New Mexico. The 3rd Battalion is stationed at Camp Benning, Ga. The 25th Infantry is stationed at Nogales, Arizona. tioned at Nogales, Arizona. If the Government finds the need of an armed force to keep the peace in Hayti, San Domingo, can any reasonable person understand why it sends white marines officered by Southerners to do it? Suppose the regular troops are not available, can there be an intelligent excuse for not calling in the National Guard units of Illinois, New York, Maryland and Massachusetts for this service? Despite his high sounding proclamations, colored people soon saw thru the hypocrisy of Woodrow Wilson and expected nothing less than the vicious and inhuman attacks he made upon the sovereignity of the little black West Indian republics. But what of Harding, the Republican? Is it to be said that he too will become the same blundering dunder head that the nation had in Woodrow the deceiver? Is not the failure of the Administration to use its colored troops in Haiti and San Domingo, an open and candid confession that its policy is hostile, vicious, and unworthy of the spirit of true Americanism? Jack Johnson to The Rescue A thousand miles across the county to save a friend from Potter's field. This is the most recent exploit of Jack Johnson, who jumped from Cincinnati, Ohio, where he was showing in a theater to New York on a fast flyer in order to be present at the funeral of his former antagonist, Sam McVey, who died penniless. Besides making an address at the final service, Jack paid a large part of the funeral expenses. "A game fighter," Johnson declared in answering the question why he made the long trip. "He was the toughest man I ever met, and he hit me harder than any other man I ever fought." All of which shows that you cannot guess the reasons for men's friendships any more than you can guess the reason why some women marry some men. Germany Appeals Germany has asked Marcus Garvey to use his influence to have France recall her black troops from the Rhine region. This in brief is the meaning of the appeal of the German Emergency League against the Black Horror to Honorable Marcus Garvey, president of the Universal Negro Improvement Association of New York. The latter flatters Mr. Garvey, but more than this, it shows that the German jackasses are trying to stir up feeling of the colored people in America against the French. If Germans can get Mr. Garvey to pull their chestnuts out of the fire, then we are mistaken in our estimate of the U. N. L. A. head. "We have an aversion to colored troops" says the Reform League in the letter to Mr. Garvey, which also declares that France is trying to weaken the Africans by enlisting their best men in the French army and sending them to Ger- the world," the letter declares. This last statement refers to the excellent French legislative act of 1919 stipulating that every year 200,000 black men of the French colonies in Africa will be trained in the use of arms, and at least 100,000 of them must see service on the European continent for one year. France is drilling an army that Germany cannot match and this is the thing that sticks in the Hunst craw. When the black subjects of "the belle France" complain of serving in the French army, and make one half as much protest against their treatment by the French government as the American colored man makes against the American government, it will be time for Mr. Garvey and the rest of us to become interested in the FEARFUL (?) plight of Germany. It Pays To Bolt Following President Harding's advice not to vote always for the Republican party candidates, a large number of the colored people of Evansville, Indiana, voted for Democrats in the last city election. The other day the new Democratic mayor immediately appointed three colored policemen and three colored detectives to the force. The city has been under control of Republicans for years, and never had a single colored "cop." Moral: It pays to holt occasionally. Hanged By A Voice Down in Columbia, South Carolina, a white girl was criminally attacked last Friday night. The girl did not see her assailant. She does not know whether he was white or colored. She only heard him speak. All the week a number of colored suspects were brought to the City Jail among them one Herbert Henry. Henry talked and read white the girl looked at him and listened. When he concluded, she said she would give her decision as to whether he is the right man later. Henry may not be the right man, but if he has a voice anything like that of the man who attacked the girl, a South Carolina mob or executioner can be expected to begin work at once. Whose Country Is It? Next time any one tells us this is a "White Man's Country," we will refer him to Professor Leon Wiener, white, of Harvard. Professor Wiener was the guest of the American Negro Academy at its annual meeting in Washington last week, and some of his statements ought to become familiar to every school boy and girl. He said: When Columbus came to America, he found that the Mandingo Negroes of Africa were here ahead of him, and had brought to the American Indians the civilization found in Mexico and Peru. On his return Columbus admitted to the Spanish King Philip that he had found Negroes here, but historians have passed over the fact preferring rather to make it appear that white men were the first to discover America. The Indian customs, religion, medicine men and war dances were derived from the African Negroes, who had taught it to the Indians. The Mandingooes settled in Mexico and South America and when Bal- boa went to Central America, he found that one Christian Negro had taught a tribe of Indians there Christianity. To wind up and complete the story, Professor Wiener declared that the Mandingo Africans came from the Nile valley and at that time represented a type of civilization on a par with that of the best Europe offered. A little more search in the history of the past may disclose some black discoverer quite as courageous and hardy as Columbus, who was the first civilized person to set foot on the NEW WORLD.

Louisville, Kentucky Jim Crow Cars Get Another Blow The ruling of Judge McCoy of the District of Columbia Supreme Court, that the Jim Crow law of Maryland, which makes it a crime for white and colored passengers to ride in the same part of a railroad train or electric car, is unconstitutional and void as applied to inter-state colored passengers strikes another blow at this nefarious practice. The court held that the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Railway Company's regulation segregating white and colored passengers was unenforceable and directed a jury to pay Messrs. F. V. Brooks, and W. A. Walters the sum of $500 each. Both men had refused to occupy rear seats in an electric car, and were evicted at Best Gate, Md., last year. The company by way of defense declared that the car was a local and that it had no way of knowing whether the passengers were interstate or intra-state, and pointed out that under the court's interpretation some of the passengers on every train would be segregated and others would be permitted to sit where they pleased. The Hart case several years ago killed the Jim crowing of interstate passengers on steam railroads, and it is fairly certain that Judge McCoy's decision will do the same thing for the electric railways. For twenty-two years passengers out of Washington have been forced to travel to points of Virginia in Jim Crow compartments of electric railways. The illegal practice has also been going on for eighteen years on the electric cars between the capital and nearby Maryland points, but not between Washington and Baltimore. It is time that patriotic Americans took the steps inaugurated by Messrs. Brooks and Walters to make the electric railways conform to the law. Homicides and Lynchings Wherever there are many lynchings, says the Boston Transcript, there are also many cases of homicide. Conversely where there are many homicides, there are many lynchings. The two abominations go together, and wherever the one is rare so is the other. In support of this contention the Transcript adduces the following statistics: "In the State of Georgia there were, in the past 36 years, no fewer than 528 lynchings, a larger number than in any other State. In the city of Atlanta, in 1920, there were homicides at the rate of 409, and in the city of Savannah at the rate of 440, to the million of population. "By contrast, in the State of Maryland there were in the same period only 23 lynchings, and in its metropolis of Baltimore the ratio of homicides to the million people was only 70. "In the State of Tennessee there were 198 lynchings, and in its city of Memphis there were homicides at the rate of 634 to the million. By contrast there were in the State of Ohio only 20 lynchings, and in Cincinnati the homicide rate was only 57 to the million. "In South Carolina there were in 36 years 121 lynchings, and in the city of Charleston there were in 1920 homicide at the rate of 365 to the million. In Wisconsin there were only five lynchings, and the homicide rate in its metropolis of Milwaukee was only 30. "In Louisiana lynchings numbered 289, and the homicide rate was 169. In California lynchings were 33, and the homicide rate was 76. "While Southern cities range from 300 to 600 and more homicides to the million, Philadelphia reports only 62, and the State of Pennsylvania had only six lynchings in the 36 years. New York city with its enormous foreign population, with feuds and vendettas innumerable, had only 59 homicides to the million; and New York State had in 36 years only two lynchings. Finally, Boston, which is by no means a city of perfect peace and brotherly love, had a homicide rate of only 51 to the million, and the State of Massachusetts proudly claims to have had in the period named not a single case of lynching." It should not surprise us to find these two things, lynching and homicides, going hand in hand. The former is collective murder, the latter is individual murder. Both spring from the spirit of inexcusable barbarism and backwardness, which we know exist in the South. THE QUEEN OF SHEBA WAS BOTH BLACK AND BEAUTIFUL thy wisdom. 7. Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it; and behold, the half was not told me. * * * * 10. And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices very great store, and precious stones; there came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon. 13.

But the inscriptions on these tombs revealed a truly astonishing set of facts. What the Harvard scientists had discovered was a loss civilization. The place, it appears, had been the capital of an Ethiopian State called Seba, or Sheba! Led by the inscriptions the archaeologists began other excavations north of Napaata at a place called Kuruw. And here he the king of the greatest of the Ethiopian kings, besides those of many queens, the oldest of whose reigns anteceded that of Solomon by 200 years. Paintings, bas-reliefs and tombs showed that these people had been black or dusky-skinned. The inscriptions removed all doubt that this was the Seba or Sheba of the Bible—the very land from which Balkis the Queen had come with camels laten with spies and gold dust for Solomon, and that undoubtedly if she had been a ruler of that land at that time she must have been black skinned! In an Arabic legend of her visit there is a hint that she was different from the other women of the great king's menage. This story runs that Balkis was rumored to have extremely hairy legs, haired like the goat, Solomon left in the forest to find out if this was an, but the queen would never give him a chance to find out. of Jerusalem.

And the So he called *artisans* and had then lay a great mirror in front of his throne. Around it he had flowers and plants arranged so it looked like a little pool. To reach the throne and pay her devoirs to the monarch the queen would have to pass through this "pool" where it is over water. If she is not over water she would raise her skirts; if she didn't raise her skirts she must be reflected in the glass. In either even the puzzling question would be solved and the king's wisdom justified. But Balkis stopped and thought a moment and then had her slaves carry her to the throne. So no one ever knew whether her legs were hairy or not. She held the slaves in establishing the fact that many peoples believed that the vist of the Queen of Sheba to King Solomon was quite an extended one, and that they lived together in wollok.

But the rough riding— We arrived in Milwaukee, where I was to get off, a half hour after midnight. Mr. Stattery, goggles off and long-spotted oil-can in his hand, was the first to jump from the cab. I came next. "We," says he, grinning, "did it shake your gizzard out?" "Gizzard?" says I, rubbing my back with one hand and digging a cinder out of my right eye with the other. "Gizzards, please." Johnny King hearing in an extra shovelful, chuckled. Ho Hopes Weekly Afro May Soon Become A Dally. I have continuously perused the Afro for more than ten years and hope the paper will take the field as a daily instead of a weekly newspaper. I may suggest also that suggestions for obtaining economic betterment and economic independence of the race, thrue the establishment of business enterprises of all kinds, of which we have so few in comparison with what we ought to have, along with suggestions in forms that will result in full civil rights being no longer withheld from us, will prove the Afro-American more valuable than heretofore the race at large and the world. 1. And when the queen of Sheba heard of the name of Solomon concerning the name of the Lord, she came to prove him with hard questions. 2. And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bare spices, and very much gold, and precious stones; and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all her possessions in her heart. 3. Solomon told her all her questions: there was not anything hid from the king, which he told her not. * * * 4. And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own hand of thy acts and of The Bible, in the foregoing words describes the visit of the Queen of Sheba to Solomon, wisest of all kings. Further on, in the Old Testament, the Song of Solomon, one of the greatest love poems in all literature, there occurs this curious line: undoubtedly a tribute to Sheba's queen. "I am black but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon." The commentators have long puzzled over the meaning of these words. It was clear that they were uttered by one of the sweet-hearts or wives of Solomon. There was no doubt, either, that the lady speaking meant to make it possible plainly to mention or display like the daughters It is known that the tents of Kedar were made of the hair of black camels, or if not were dead. All any other way. The reference to the curtains of Solomon deals with the legendary fact that the coverings of his bed were made of black to keep out all light while he slept. The Queen's Name The Queen's name is Ola, says was Kala-Bakil, or Bal-Kis, in Arabic means "Honey Girl," and no doubt Solomon found she justified her Ethiopia. The ancient classical name for an enormous district of Northern Africa which was bounded on the north by Egypt and on the south by Red Sea, the Harvard expedition, under the distinguished archaeologist, Professor George A. Reisner, was working in a part of it at the foot of the Fourth Catacract of the Nile near the southern end of Dongola Province, in what is now known as the Ebola field, by the Arubis Global Barkal they found, on a low knoll looking out over the desert, a group of small pyramids.

After this they unearned other tombs of Ethiopian kings, queens and prin- It was a sunny night, one of the days for 280-mile trips to the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul, with her heavy string of twelve passenger cars, was leaping through the dark, cloudy night at fifty-five miles an hour. We had been out of Chicago only about an hour, but long enough we then out of no less than three heavy rains. The tracks, were wet. Driving Wheels Slip Suddenly the bumping of the engine increased alarmingly. All the train wrecks I ever heard of flashed up. I looked over to the right side of the cab, where John Slattery, big jolly engineer of No. 15, minded his throttles and brakes. He was leaning hard against a lever. The speed of the train shacked. Then, almost as suddenly as it had started the trajerk asking the engine stopped, returned to its normal bumping. I sat back on the springy leather unholebed window seat on the left side of the cab with John King, fireman, feeling relieved that nothing serious had happened. "Those wet rails are bad," yelled Johnny in my car. Conversation Taboo The cab of a locomotive is not place for a talkative person. I had a hundred and some old question to ask, but decided to hold them off till we came to a stop. Only occasionally did Johnny and the engineer talk with each other and then only when one would stick his head close to the other's ear and yell. It is pretty comfortable in here in winter with this fire pit in front of you." Johnny had climbed up on our window seat between showfails and I leanned to his ear. "Don't you believe it," yells he. "This place gets pretty cold in winter. Wind and snow beat in here in spite of the side curtains. We burn about twice as much coat." This being the case Johnny has a mighty hard job in winter. In summer he shovels almost continuously, taking only brief Fascinating Experience J. FRANKLIN JOHNSON Associate Professor of Latin Biddle University, Charlotte, N. C. Chairman of the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People CONCERNING THE BUYING OF BOOKS CONCERNING THE BUYING OF BOOKS I received a letter the other day from a woman living in a city of the Southwest which ran in part as follows: "I read what you wrote about what the publishers said about colored people not being a reading public, and I think they are wrong. I do not think the great majority of colored people know about these books and publications, and the few who do know like myself are so poor that they have not been able to subscribe and buy like they want to. They are just poor as I am.....Of course, one can do house-work at $2.50, $3.00 and sometimes $5.00 or a little more a week, but everything is mighty high and when the necessaries of life are got there isn't anything left for books and papers." My correspondent agrees with me that only a few of the colored people know of the unpublished books and publication on the Negro question, and the complaint is the belief of the need of Book Chat. What she says of the inability of the Negro to buy books is another matter. Of course a city that pays as low as $2.50 a week for housework, and only reaches as high as $5.00 or a little more, pays starvation wages. One is horrified that such exploitation of women should continue. And doubtless there are other of my readers besides my correspondent who are struggling for the barter things of existence. But in the colored world as well as in the white there are large numbers of people who spend money for more things than actual shelter and food and rainment. They go to moving-picture theaters and see movies and play games. They hide in buildings and sundresses, and if they want them badly enough, they lay books. They have the money for the things they most want. If you believe in wide reading, you can easily train a child to indulge in it. Give him a book-shelf in his room, and see if it does not soon fill up. The child knows what it likes and makes its wants known and money will be saved for the new romance or history or book of adventure. When Christmas and birthday celebrations come the barrassed relative, wanting to know what will please John or Susie, sees the book-shelf and gladly gives a contribution. The child I know the best of all invariably asked for books as a gift and consequently had a very respectable library before she was out of her teens. It was decided that if she really wanted the Waverley novels more than a string of gold beads she should have the Waverley novels. Few of us have ever been tempted to buy books and it is the same as we grow older unless we are in the $2.50 a week group, we have a murmur for other than bare necessities and decide ourselves whether our surplus shall go toward a piano or a vietnam, toward a plethora of moving pictures, toward personal adornment or toward a well-stocked library. We choose. THE FORUM Captain In New York's Colored National Guard Regiment Scores American Legion Letters for this column should be kept within reasonable length (Usually 200 words) To the Editor:— Associated Negro Press After the armistice was signed, as you will recall, there was a great World Victory Parade held in Paris of military units represent- ing all the combatants who were engaged in the struggle. Not one American Negro was permitted to march in that parade. This fact was commented upon generally by the French people. Inquirer Asks Rev. Charles E Stewart A Question Mr. Editor: I would like for the Rev. Mr. Stetson or any one else who can inform you that war is meant by the term "protestantism". The word is not in the Bible and I would like to know what does it mean. What has protestantism to do with Salvation? Confessed by, it is a term of negation. It is a term of negation and Christ and His Church. Let those who stand to protestantism tell us precisely what they stand for. "Last summer the American Legion sent over to France a delegation of veterans to visit the battle fields and to lay a wreath on France's 'unknown soldier.' I myself made personal application to be permitted to represent the Colored American veterans on that occasion in view of the fact that I had arranged to be in France at that time. My application was clearly and uneconomically rejected. Several Frenchmen, including some officials suggested that the Colored veterans send a delegation over to France and acting upon the suggestion upon my return to America last fall. I wrote to the national headquarters of the American Legion, Indianapolis, and the American Negro Legion Posts in America, with their locations. Wilberforce Not Among School Which Sutbbed President King Of Liberia My dear Mr. Editor: You are generally right but wrong this time. Two years ago as when President King John was a degree of LL.

Failing to receive any reply to my request to the headquarters of the American Legion, as a result, I again wrote, repeating my request and received from the headquarters a letter of refusal. No Institution Should Fall Because Of Our Failure To Support It. To the Editor: "Our committee is now compelled to appeal to the Colored newspapers all of the country for the Colored American Legion Posts. The failure of our two banking institutions in Baltimore spells just one thing, and that is the lack of fraternal cooperation. It has been my sad and regrettable fortune to hear people make unsolicited, candid, unbrotherly, unchristian statements in public places concerning the failure of those two institutions. The colored people must learn one helpful lesson: they must and have to talk less and think more concerning themselves and their welfare. NAPOLEON R. MARSHALL 295 7th Avenue, N. Y. Elder Strachan Says Arms Conference Will Not Stop Wars To the Editor:— Every human heart in the world must beat in sympathy with the aims and endeavors of the international Arms Congress at Washington to bring about a limitation of armament among the leading nations of the world, in the hope that the dangers of war and its attendant horrors and coils may be avoided. We have learned the lesson that preparedness for war is no longer a security against war, but rather and incentive to it. While the limitation of arms may not prevent war, yet we are convinced that it is a safer and safer experiment than the old rival method of arming to the limit of endurance. Certainly the taxpayer will benefit from the mother will feel that they are bearing their sons for something more than cannon folder. The stress and strain of these days invites every red blooded Negro to have limitless confidence in his race. We cannot evade the issue by an argument that it is no time for institutions of its kind among our people. True, the time is now. We must plan for the future. The colored man is not a failure he only needs support as others do. Everyone American owes it to himself to see that no color enterprise fails for the lack of support. J. STANLEY JAMES, Junior, Morgan College LAMENT LAMENT Wars will never cease permanently on earth until the Prince of Peace comes the second time in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory and takes the scenture of righteousness to rule. This event will be the climax of human history, and the beginning of the "world to come" and "all things made new" Man and Eden will be restored in pristine glory and innocence, but it will be by God's own act of divine intervention at the last great day of "the restitution of all things," not by man's own devising through power and diplomacy. The human race cannot its own ill and natural maladies. Man cannot lift himself out of the pit of sin. He can see no light beyond the sad tragedy of the tomb. Man needs a divine Physician, a Saviour and a Deliverer. The Prince of Peace is God's answer to the crying need of a helpless old man and a despairing basis of using peace between man and man and between God and man. I am a Negro woman. Through my veins runs the rebellious blood of a mother who throws the arms under the hot skies of Africa. My body is tail-scarred, and my hands are guarded and swollen from the never-ending drudgery of the wash tub. I am strong as the oxen in the fields, and as a gender. I have known the sorrows of Mary, Mother of Christ. One bitter black night my son, my first born, was torn from my arms by a band of ghostly hooded riders and burned alive the usefuls of the summer air is sweep with pink honeysuckle, but its fresh perfume brings no joy to me. My nostrils are filled with the unforgettable stench of burning human flesh. I look up from my wash tub and watch the cloud-curled sky. But I see the watcher we watched the blue spirals of smoke curling upward from the charred body of my son. But until this glad day does dawn, we should do all in our power to stay the tide of evil in the world, to relieve the burdens and sufferings of humanity, to lift it in, and to this end we should uphold the hands of our noble statesmen in arrest prayer as they are seeking under God to effect such international agreements that the threatening deluge of war and desolation may be stayed until gospel of Jesus has been carried out by the nations and peoples of the whole earth. My daughter is coarse and ignorant because of lack of school advantages. But she is a comely Negro girl, therefore the lawful prey of all men. And I grow cold with dread when I look into her eyes, for their deep prisoned secrets. It is because of these things that my heart has become a sorrowblasted wound, with stumps of raining bleeding nerves. Oh God! If death indeed brings peace and forgetfulness, then I long for death!
