C., Jan. 25. —A wild scene of disorder swept over the House of Representatives during the closing hours of the general debate on the Anti-Lynching Bill today.

From most to five p. m., they listened to the arguments and when Representative Sisson of Mississippi, advocated the teaching of colored men who put their hands on white women, Representative Cooper of Wisconsin charged him with favoring mob law. The big color guidance, numbering over seven hundred, forgot themselves and applauded loud and long. The effect was electrical.

(Special to the Afro.)—January 25.—Badly shaken up as the result of their flogging, the Columbus Jazz Sexette arrived here today from Miami en route North. The men refused to talk, give their names, or say anything of the occurrence until they can talk with safety. The sexette, under contract with one of the large white winter resort hotels at Miami, was lured to the outskirts of the town and brutally flogged by a mob of musked men. Autos were sent for them and they were told that they were wanted to play for a private party of leading white people. Last year the hotel employed white musicians, and this year was the first time that colored jazz artists were employed. This provoked the jealousy of the local whites, who were provoked at the authority of the little colored orchestra among the hotel guests.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Lesson Text. 1 Kings 21: 1-21 Elijah in Nabatite's Vineyard GOLDEN TEXT: Be sure your sin will find you out. Ahab is said to have had a most beautiful palace in fact the only place we have any account of in history that was lined with ivory, selection is said to have had a, throne oversiid with ivory, but Ahab's palace was lined as we oversiid with ivory. And yet we prevent him from covering the adjoining property of his fortunate neighbor. A poor neighbor at that. Covetousness is not a mere desire for things we do not possess, a desire that we are willing to do wrong, to injure others, to take them away from others in order that we may possess them. And still more when we would gain possessions at the expense of higher and be- lief.

In the case of Abd, it caused murder to be done, and brings, not only himself and wife to punishment, but his children and rend the kingdom from his helts for Nabah and a perfect right to hold on to his property. If he wanted to, he was not allowed unless he wanted to. He was well within his rights, moreover, according to Jewish Law. (Number 67-7-9.) He was, not expected to deprive his children of what would be theirs. deeds. Saint of Tarsus never forgave the worst of the lustful deeds of his people, but he himself to do without it death of Stephen, although he when it cannot be obtained except only by and held the clothes at the price of dishonor. will find you out.

By consenting to the death of Nabbuto Ahab became not only a murderer but also a man of conscience. What his wife said he no double got up out of his sulky bed, but on his good clothes and went out to the house to think to himself what he would do to make, his palace grounds better now that he had more room and that he would probably he had a smile on his face as he thought of what he would do, change this path, and tear down that old house. He always made him think of how he came in possession of the vineyard, and change things generally. but turned down to take possession of Naboth's vineyard, another ring started down to meet him and it was not any of Naboth's near neighbors either. For five years Naboth had heard nothing about Elijah. Once or twice other prophets had come to him and told him what he should do in certain instances, and establishing geological schools elsewhere, but now a special message comes to him to go down and tell Abah, something he would never forget, and look up and see Elijah there he got weak in the knees right away. Twice before had God sent prophets to Abah telling him how he would be taken now. God sends another prophet, this time one who Abah was willing to believe bore him no good tidings, and the first question he asked them was, "What does it mean?" What reason had Abah to believe that Elijah was his enemy, he felt accused because he had wronged him, and knew then that, that Elijah had come to condemn him for it, and that was the reason why he asked the question he did not answer but it will condemn us if we have the beast James S.

The Sheikh is here, with some of the thousand and one legends of that ancient store-house of romance intrigue and revenge. Dealing as it does, with, harem life, dancing girls, bedouins and desert caravans, splendid opportunity was offered its producers for lavish scenic investiture; an opportunity, it is said they have embraced to the limit of the most beautifully manicured Valentino and beautiful Agnes. Ayers are the featured players in this beautiful production. THE ARGONNE Last Wednesday another new theatre was added to the rapidly growing number of houses in the city that cater exclusively to color patronage. Shaw Street South Baltimore threw open its doors to the public. This latest house is a very worthy addition from a constructive point of view equalling in this respect, the best that are now in operation. It is built substantially with a floor plan in its seating arrangement which accommodates some 750 persons. All the latest conveniences for the benefit of patrons have been installed and the latest operating devices for giving the best and most satisfactory exhibition by pictureure. The museum is owned by Wallace High (white) but with the exception of the camera operator, all the other employees are colored, namely, Moses Johnson, manager; Miss Lillian Mason, cashier, and an orchestra composed of Anthony Furrell, violinist; Edgar Gibson, piano; Jones Holmes, Frank Butler, traps "after His Own Heart" with the Mix in the stellar role and Charlie Chaplin in "Shoulder Arms" were the opening attractions.

This production was well-received by large audiences on Monday. On Tuesday "The Old Nest" a big steel Goldwin production was the big feature, a story of homely paths and domestic joys that also drew large audiences. This feature was called "The Day" The manager desired to call to the especial attention of Dunbar patrons the big feature which will be shown at this house on Friday. entitled "Out of the Depths" with beautiful Violet Mergereaux in the stellar role. The week at the Carey was begun with "The Woman God Changed." a fine picture showing how a woman of the underworld after shooting her lover escapes to an island of the South Seas, where she is eventually traced by a young detective. On their way back to the States, the ship is lost at sea and the detective, who during the attack attending the catastrophe is knocked unconscious, is rescued by the shore of a uninhabited island, where they spend many months before they are rescued. This picture drew large audiences on Monday. Larry Besmon, in "The Bellhop" was the main comedy feature. On Tuesday, the big feature was "The Three Musketeers" featuring Orrin Johnson, Louise Glaum and Dorothy Dalton. The "Bellhop" was continued on this day. Next Monday, the famous Hoot Hoon in his first S-screer, entitled *The Curse of the Curse* was an attraction. In this picture Gibson gets an opportunity to do some of that excellent first work that has made him the cinema hero of old and young alike. On this day a fine Jimmy Aubrey comedy will be shown, entitled "The Applicant." On the following Tuesday, "Dead or Alive," with Jack Hoxie in the stellar role, will be the principal attraction. Partly because of an opportunity to witness Jack Johnson's latest picture, "For His Mother's Sake," which will soon appear at this house. On next Monday the opening attraction will be "The Barbarian" with Monroe Salisbury and Jane Novak as the featured players.

Schultz, white, Northeastern District, had been on sick leave, but decided to go to a downtown theatre last Friday night. After leaving the theatre he miried his pocketbook, containing $21, and got it into his head that two colored men nearby robbed him. Being all dressed up in civilian clothing, Schultz thought it did not become him to arrest the men. He followed them to Guilford and Preston streets, where he spied two weapons in uniform and ordered their arrest. The accused — Fanny Lucas, 1216 Rutter street, and Alexander Williams, their jenkins Alley — protested their innocence, but were sent to 12 Central Police Station, never arrested.

Tradition and continent demand that we should celebrate the harvest of years by the commencement of an end of good wishes and good traditions. Resolved: That, in this good year of 1822, we are determined not to live so suddenly for ourselves, but will do our bit for our fellowman. Thus, I believe we will find a new interest in life, and a new and broader joy in living. An enthusiastic and fully attended meeting of Valuntee Pleasure Social was held at the residence of Mrs. Murray, 1339 Strickler street, January 17, at which time the offices for the term were installed: Mr. Charles H. Parker, president; Ms. Eliza Ross, 1st vice-president; Mr. Frank Cook, 2nd vice-president; Mrs. Cordelia Benoist, secretary; Mr. Perry Browne, committee secretary; Mr. John W. Rose, secretary; Mrs. Eliza Murray, chaplain; Mr William Hawkins, 1st sargent; Mr. William Murray, 2nd sargent; Banking committee; Mr. Caleb Robinson, Miss Mary Butler, and John W. Brooks. After all business having been complete and all committee reports were read and acted upon, which showed the Social in a prosperous condition, we then marched to the dining room, there to find the table grooming under the weight of the most tempting repast, which was the parter, where to the strains of partakes of with the zest and relish of school boys and girls; then to music dancing was indulged in till the wee small hours. The Social presented to the retiring President, John W. Brooks, combination bill folder and pocketbook with name in fold. The presentation was made by Mr. Perey Denishaw. The annual dividend was paid, which was a few cents over $20. Mrs. Eliza Ross and Mrs. Eliza Murray were presented each with a purse as a token of the Social's appreciation.

Miller has abandoned the dramatic sketches that featured his bills of the last three weeks, and during the first half has gone back to the comedy type of entertainment. "Doctor Wang, Wang" is the title of the skit that is offered, with "Monkey" Johnson in the role of the doctor from the Fiji Islands, who "sees all and knows all." Johnson created a deal of merriment in this role. Tommy Parker and Baby Mack, who won their way to favor with Regent audiences during the two weeks, are the ones who own the company, are on the bill this week, but their place, at least Parker's place is very capably filled by Frank Tansel, who is playing with the company this week. Tahsel is an accomplished coni-que, who has a line of amusing but somewhat risque chatter, and is one of the best execentric dancers seen here for several weeks. He made a big hit with the Monday matinee audience. Quintard Miller, Henrietta Loveless, Estelle Cash, Purcell Cuff and Eugene Shields handle their parts in the capable way that has come to be expected of them. During the 1980s, she spent with a well-rendered vocal number and again shared applause with Cuff in a duet. "For His Mother's Sake" with Jack Johnson in the star role, was the principal screen offering. A review of this picture will be published in the AFEO next week. Novelty Art Club The Novelty Art Club provided milk one month for an invalid lady and presented Sharp St. Community House $15.00. Mrs. Bertha Walker Proctor is president and Mrs. Mattie Dorsey is secretary. RAINBOW Lyon Daniels' Ragtime Steppers are in their second week at the Lincoln as the current stage offering at this house. The ability of Daniels as a first-rate comedian and that of the other members of his company is well known by reason of their former appearance here about lately. This week the company has been strengthened by the addition of Billy Nichols an old time performer, who entertains with songs and a monologue, and Zachariah White, who made a big hit with the crowd on Monday and his parody of the song "Asleep" by The Doe" using the bedding as his theme. Escape Carroll also won applause for her vocal selections as did "Slick" White who is a first-rate tenor. Others who do well are Elmer Floyd, straight, Rector Patterson; Louise Patterson; Hazel Waller; Elise Howard and Vicki Ward; stage offering will be Olga Burguzne and the Oriental Dancers. AMERICAN Wm. Russell in "Bare Knuckles" was the opening attraction at the American on Monday. On Tuesday, "Shadows of the West" a fine 6-reel drama featuring Hedda Nova was the principal feature. Special attention is called to "The Black Thunderbolt" the, Jack Johnson picture which was made while the ex-champ was in cell in Spain, which will be shown by special request at the on Saturday. Next Monday the opening feature will be a big movie feature. On Tuesday a return engagement by special request of "The U. P. Trail" starring Roy Stewart, will be the special feature.

Accompanying, FRIDAY JAN. 27, 1922 PROMINENT BANKERS ARE VISITING HERE J. S. Jones, Of Norfolk, And Jesse Binga Of Chi- cago, Stop Off On Business Trip Such An Institution, It Is Believed, Would Recreate Public Confidence Jesse Binga, president of the State Bank of Chicago and J. S. Jones of the Tidewater Bank and Trust Company of Norfolk, Va., arrived in the city this week. Mr. Binga, who formerly directed the private bank of the same name in Chicago, recently incorporated it as the Binga State Bank and reports a large increase in business. He is a Catholic, and among other things remarked to C. Marcellus Dorsey that there has been no change in the Catholic situation in Chicago for the past fifteen years. He also called upon Father Dorsey and Father Uncles, friends of long standing. Mr. J. S. Jones, who is stopping at the "Y" has organized eleven state banks in the past 5 years. He is visiting prominent business men in the city advocating the establishment of a state bank in Baltimore. To an AFRO reporter he said: "In the wake of the recent financial and commercial reverses of our group, Baltimore offers a wonderful opportunity and a most fertile and prolific field for organizing a State Bank, under direct State supervision and with sufficient capital and paid in surplus to absorb any prospective losses that might be incurred by errors of judgment on the part of its management. "An institution of this kind will prevent a further dissipation of the public faith and create immediately anew birth of confidence which is absolutely necessary and imperatively needed to stimulate our future commercial development. "Banks came into being with civilization and have grown with it. The Negro can no more hope to keep up with the forward owned, controlled and successfully march of progress without banks managed by his group, than he can without churches and school houses. "The ninety-four (94) state banks and trust companies in this country operated by Negroes, attest the fact that we can, must and will own, control and successfully manage banking institutions that 100% of our resources in dollars might be mobilized, organized, centralized and utilized for our needs and further advancement."

GOLDWYN PRESENTS Tom Moore IN Made in Heaven BY WILLIAM HURLBUT DIRECTED BY VICTOR SCHERTZINGER ```markdown ``` RAINBOW THEATRE Inquiring Reporter He asks five persons picked at random a question. Do you think the colored county school (teachers) should be underpaid half as much as the white teachers? THE ANSWER Mr. Frank Sorrell, teacher at 112 school.—The majority of them stand for it. Some of them are graduates from the finest schools in the country yet they put up with it and the State Supervisor brings that argument to us. Miss Estella Thomas, 1627 Riggs Ave.—If they would come together and demand their salary I feel sure they would get it. Mr. James Washington, 1014 East street, chauffer—I don't know anything about that work, so I wouldn't know anything about their money. Mr. William H. Proctor, 1334 Brudd Hill Ave., teacher at 115—I would rather not be quoted on that. Mrs. Lucille Green, 1769 Jefferson street. It seems as though it is their own fault. When I was teaching school, all the teachers stuck together and got nearly everything we want for. AFRO LETTER GOES TO MD. INST. DIRECTORS Head Of Art Institution Says Admission Of Colored Students Will Be Up To Them Michael Angelo Brown's letter in the forum of last week: AFRO, asking why the Maryland Institute was able to secure City and State appropriations and still exclude colored students was taken to Mr. A. Dement, white, head of the Maryland Institute this week by an AFRO reporter. After reading the letter, Mr. Dement said the Maryland Institute of Art is said to be a school controlled by private ownership and is in no way affiliated with the public schools of Maryland. "Colored students are not admitted for reasons unknown to me I will take this letter to the Board of Directors at the next meeting of February 15th and ask them to make a reply to the AFRO-AMERICAN." In Governor Hitchcock's budget recently presented to the Legislature proposal is made to appropriate $14 one of the State's taxes to the Maryland Institute. Appropriation last year was $14,000. Similar appropriation is made by the city and tuition is free to certain students named every year by the members of the Legislature and City Council.

A COLDWYN PICTURE Readers Anxious To Compete For Cash Prizes Offered By The Afro-American CLOSING DATE FEBRUARY 4 Contest Editor Urges Boys And Girls To Get Busy Now The AFRO-AMERICAN campaign to find out who can write the best essay of not more than 300 words on the subject, "Frederick Douglass" is on with a rush. Already letters have been received from many school boys and girls in the city, New York, Pennsylvania, and even as far South as Georgia. Everybody wants to win the cash prize of $3.00 offered to the one who writes the best composition, or the second prize of $2, or the third price of $1. In addition to the prizes offered the winner will be asked to send in their photograph to be printed along with their compositions in the AFRO. If the winner is a school girl or boy, a printed copy of his essay and photograph suitable for framing will be presented to his school to be hung in a place of honor. The only thing left is for girls and boys to get lazy and write their Douglass birthday essays. Many people now living remember Frederick Douglass, who was born in February in Tuckahoe, Md., as a slave, and became a great orator, editor, statesman, and advocate of woman's suffrage. One fine essay submitted tells of the time when the writer's father first saw Fred Douglass and heard him speak. Remember the contest closes on February 4th, and the compositions must not be longer than 300 words. THOMAS—In loving remembrance of my dear father.

GOOD MORNING JUDGE Edward Gray Lloyd, 3124 Barclay Street, who was convicted last week of assault with intent to rob Dr. Fowler of 1201 Druid Hill Avenue, on December 7 last, was sentenced to two years in the Penitentiary Tuesday by Judge Gorter of Criminal Court Part I. Sentence was suspended last week in order to give Lloyd's father and Dr. Fowler a chance to come to some agreement that the boy might be paroled. After some consideration an agreement was reached and the doctor asked Judge Gorter and States Attorney Leach to parole Lloyd but the Court decided that to do so would only encourage him and others and that a little punishment was the best thing for him. Alexander Keer who pleaded not guilty to a charge of having narcotic drugs was given 18 months in Atlanta State prison Tuesday by Judge Rose.

"Nigger Heaven" Says The American The Baltimore American, white, Mr. Frank Munsey's daily morning newspaper in the city gave a show for its newsboys in the Playhouse list week, and seated its white newsboys in the balcony, on the first floor and in the boxes, and put all its colored newsies in the gallery. Speaking of the affair the American declared on Saturday: "THE LOWER FLOOR AND THE BALCONY WERE FILLED WITH WHITE BOYS, WHILE THE GALLERY, CROWDED WITH COLORED, LADS, WAS LITERALLY 'NIGGER HEAVEN.'" It has always been the prevaricator of a host to seat his guests as he pleased. The American abused this privilege and in addition offered its colored carriers insult through its news column. Judge Gorter Not In these columns last week we took exception to the statements of the Chief Judge of the Supreme Bench in sentencing Samuel Smith to death for attempted assault upon a white girl. The editorial erroneously referred to Judge Dobler as Chief Judge instead of Judge James P. Corter. Crimes Against Human Nature It was Judge Gorter of the local Supreme Bench, who said last week in contending Samuel Smith to the gallows for attempted rape and attempted murder: "You are guilty of the most serious of all crimes: THE OFFENSE AGAINST HUMAN NATURE." Last week, these columns pointed out that treason and murder both were more serious crimes than attempted rape, and asked the question what ends of justice can be served by imposing the death penalty upon a man obviously guilty, but also a man of previous good record and an ex-soldier. Downtown it is whispered around that the heavy sentence was meted out because Smith actually outraged the girl, but that this part of the crime was kept a secret in order to save her reputation, etc. In other circles, it is being said that both Smith and the girl are from New Jersey, and may have known each other before. None of these things were however before the court. Perhaps the second part of Judge Gorter's statement, bither-to-overlooked, explains. His declaration that Smith had committed a CRIME AGAINST HUMAN NATURE, I. e. had attempted to mix the blood of the two races sounds very much like President Harding's pronouncement of certain "fuscescapable differences" between the races, and his conclusion "Amalgamation there cannot be." The AFRO-AMERICAN does not here set itself the task of contradicting either Judge Corter or President Harding. What it does say, it believes pertinent, namely, that nature does not prohibit racial intermixture. If it did there would not be so MANY LIGHT COLORED PEOPLE IN THE NORTH, AND so MANY DARK WHITE PEOPLE IN THE SOUTH. Not very long ago a white street car conductor and a motorman were arrested and convicted of criminal assault upon a colored girl passenger. The two men refused to let her off at any street corner and carried her to the end of the line where the outrage was perpetrated. These men like Samuel Smith committed a serious offence against womanhood. They were not hanged. Fact is they got off with a jail sentence. Then there is the Harp case of last year when a white taxi-cab driver lured a colored girl in a delicate state, out on a lonely road and assaulted her. Harp drew several months in jail and was pardoned after serving less than half his term. Persons involved in the Harp case have never been brought to trial. Last year a white insurance collector, one Feldenheimer, was held on a serious charge preferred by a little colored girl. That case after rough sledding was concluded with the grand jury's indictment. So far it has not come to trial. Suppose Smith had been white and the Goucher College student colored, does any sane person suppose that he would have been condemned to hang. What this editorial is attempting to illustrate may be found in the words of the U. S. Census reports quoted last week: IN THE UNITED STATES AS A WHOLE, THE AVERAGE LENGTH OF PRISON SENTENCE FOR NEGROES IS MORE THAN THREE TIMES THAT FOR WHITES. President Harding has yielded to the South's entreaties and refused to appoint a colored man as Register of the Treasury. The President says he is busy now, and will have time to think about appointing colored men later. So, maybe he will have some leisure time around 1925. Eh, wot? --- "European powers hold up shipment of Arms to Abyssinia"—news paper headlines.

Doppard, Germany, has made a request for any kind of French troops even black ones for its garrison. Somebody please page the American Snob Society for Protesting Against French Troops in Germany. School Teacher And Charwoman In the Governor's budget as submitted to the State Legislature at Annapolis, the minimum salary for the rural colored school teacher is set at $40 a month or $320 a year. The same budget in its schedule of salaries and wages of the Legislative Department proposes to pay a "General Utility Man" in the Senate $450, pages in the House $450 and doorkeeper to the Speaker of the House $450, for the ninety days the Legislature is in session. IN OTHER WORDS, A "GENERAL UTILITY MAN" who performs service during ninety days of the year is worth more to the state than a school teacher who labor eight months of the year. The same budget proposes to pay to "charwomen" in the office of the Superintendent of Public Buildings $520 a year. No doubt these charwomen will earn every cent of their salaries, but has it come to pass in Maryland, that the state values the services of its Supervisor of Schools Albert S. Cook, who with the State Board of Education is responsible for the figures in the Governor's budget puts the minimum salary for white rural teachers at $650 a year, just a little more than double the salary of the colored teacher. Manifestly this is both unfair and un-American. Education is for citizenship, and the group of people with poorly paid teachers must of necessity receive inferior education and remain inferior citizens. The last United States Census figures on illiteracy in Maryland show that 5.6 per cent of native whites, 13.4 per cent of foreign born whites and 18.2 of Negroes are illiterate. Our only wish is that we could burn these figures into the consciences of the Board of Education and into the consciences of the State Legislature, so that they might realize that if Maryland citizenship is to be made what it ought to be, special attention must be paid to the people farthest down. Negroes and foreign born whites need the best teaching force not the worst. How can it be done? How else than by urging the Legislature to rate our colored rural school teachers on identically the same salary basis that it rates others. Equal salaries for equal work without regard to color or sex. In Congress Assembled The debate upon the Anti-Lynching Bill now up in the lower House of Congress has afforded Southern representatives an unusual opportunity to SPOUT. Representative Vaile, (rep) of Colorado referred on one occasion to the "contemptible pettiness" of the Southerner's arguments. He had in mind Texas JIM Buchanan's plea to the House not to pass the bill on the grounds that all of the representatives were the sons of white women. Then there was Arkansas Johnnie Tillman who had no arguments against the bill and so fell to abusing the colored people, whom he termed a RACE OF TIP TAKERS, and therefore destined never to be rulers. The PRIZE ARGUMENT was made by the same Johnnie Tillman who announced that he opposed the bill because it taxed the county in which a lynching occurred $10,000, which sum was to be turned over to the family of the mob's victim. The gentleman from the South declared that if the bill were passed, "Southern black mammies in every section would have their children lynched so as to claim the $10,000 damages. A dead nigger would be worth more than a live one. Aunt Manda would cash Rastus in. Alive he is a liability, dead he is a fortune." With such "contemptible peti-ness," and ignorant mouthings do the halls of Congress ring until the limit of the time set for the debate expires and the votes determine the nation's will. Value Of Colored Cops Proved The value of colored policemen, especially in working among the race, was brought out in the recent capture of Luther Boddy in Philadelphia for the murder of two white policemen in New York city. It is true that his captor, Amos M. Scott, is not a policeman, but as an elected city magistrate in Philadelphia he is an arm of the law. The tip he got from the liey, C. A. Tindley was another proof of the fact that law-abiding colored people are always ready to cooperate with law enforcement forces, provided an accused person is not persecuted because of race. In Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Atlantic City, Washington, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Chicago and other communities colored policemen have proved their value. In many cities, where any attempt to appoint a colored officer is frustrated, the despicable Negro "stool pigeon" is used in order to apprehend criminals. This type usually commands big political power, traffics in women and protects gambling and other forms of vice and at the same time grows to be well-to-do. Whenever the police want a colored criminal, he sends out his satellites to do what the police get credit for. This has been true in a number of cities. Baltimore, where there are no colored policemen, authority is being sought from the Legislature to increase the local force by 400. There is also a movement to have the city provide funds for the employment of men who will aid the police in their work. The interests of the whole city of Baltimore demand the appointment of colored policemen as a necessary link in the apprehension of criminals and the enforcement of the law. In colored neighborhoods they would be invaluable in maintaining law and order. A White Woman's View Of Social Equality (Lillie B. C. Wyman in X. Y. Nation). There are now many millions of persons in this hemisphere whose existence is due to "amalgamation." The fact that this mixture largely the result of illiteracy,orship proves, mainly, that the natural impulse to bringling is too strong to be repressed by social or legal prohibition. Law and custom can only guide and regulate it. At present, all the world over, the white man seeks the dark woman by demoralizing and brutal methods vastly more than the dark man seeks the white woman in any way. Moreover is well for any human grief, pel any other from its association, without regard to individual character, personal behavior, or mental equipment? It is time to face squarely this question of so-called world (and its presidents) know that there are white Americans who are determined to do what they can to unite socially all diverse racial elements in this country. We must apologize for our actions. We invite into our own whisperer and visit in their whisperer we find agreeable. We thereby pleasing ourselves and we believe that we are promoting the welfare of America. SOUTHERN M. E. SCHOOLS ARE OVERCROWDED Writer Pinds Colored Pupils More Enthusiastic to Learn Than Whites New York, N. Y. Jan. 22.—"Our teachers are unanimous in the judgment that colored people learn as readily as whites and have far more enthusiasm in their work. Rev J. W. Stalol, white, says his new book just issued entitled "Methodists Adventure in Negro Education." In the interests of the committee on conservation of the M.E. Church, Mr. Stalol made an extensive tour of schools and colleges in the South, including Morgan College and Princess Anne Academy. It is with the history of these that his book deals. It is not only the Methodist's schools, but also all schools in the South, crowded beyond one thousand. One school provides one thousand advance applications. Rev. Stalol suggests some have reservation lists for several years in advance and others maintain extended waiting lists. INCOME TAX IN NUTSHELL WHO? Single person who had, net income of $1,000 or more, or gross income of $5,000 or more. Married couples who had net income of $2,000 or more, or gross income of $5,000 or more. WHEN?

Eight per cent normal tax on balance of taxable income. Surtax from 1 per cont on net incomes over $5,000 for the year 1921. THE LADY OF THE WINTER THE FORUM THE FORUM Letters for this column should be kept within reasonable length (Usually 200 words) He Enjoys Educational Features And Says Afro Grows Better With Each Issue. To the Editor: I am very glad to see that an "Educational Column," as suggested in my letter to *the "Afro-American"* some time ago, has been adapted. Of course I have noticed the wonderful consternity and the seemingly "brand New" policy of the editors before this and I have been promising to write you a letter of "appreciation." The "Educational Column" is a feature of distinctive value and is invaluable to the young people especially. I myself enjoy reading it. It was some weeks ago that the first installment of "History Day By Day" appeared in the Afro-Amrican. And at the time, acting upon my suggestion to you, I was just completing a series of articles ("Ten Thousand Things Worth Knowing") to be contributed in an effort to sustain my suggestion. However, in reading column in question, I am sure, young and old will find something to think about us well as vital points surrounding the history of their ancestors. The "Afro-American" grows better each issue. The policy of the paper is one to be admired. You have the "only paper," and the proper men are at the helm of the "Afro-American." E. LEWIS KELLY Damnora, N. Y Fight Against Locks Was On Account Of His Mis-behavior. Not On Account Of His Color. It appears that possibly two years ago, Benjamin Locks a school teacher was arrested and taken before the court on a charge of disorderly conduct. The officer who arrested him testified that he was a homo-sexualist, however, the technical charge was dismissed. The Locks was found guilty and fined something like twenty-five dollars. The Board of Education apparently knew nothing about this. Late last fall he was arrested again, but I do not believe any definite charge was brought against him and the case was dismissed before the court. In the fact that he had been locked up on two occasions and nothing had been done by the school board, a colored attorney Robt. Willis, wrote a letter to the Board of Education protesting against Locks retaining his position. With this the superintendent of the public schools dismissed the fellow, the Board, however, after the school system, but agreed to transfer him from teacher to clerk, with an increase in salary amounting to one hundred and eighty dollars per month, but think with a stimulation that July 1922 would be the best time to hire. They pointed out that their object in doing this was to reimburse him for the time he had lost from the beginning of the school term until January 1. The Free Press a while daily got hold of all the facts in the case and published them featuring them on the first page and in publication videos by against his retention in the schools. It might be said that they did not make their fight on the grounds of color. The situation became so tense that the Mayor has the vote over the public schools, did not stand by the Board and objected looks from holding the board had been shown. As it stands now he is finally out of the Detroit school system. Signed—DR. VAN. D. PIRR Detroit Mich. Jan. 18. Observer Says High School Pupils Might Be More Orderly On Their Way Home From School To the Editor: I want to ask if something you could print in your paper might not help our girls and boys of the Colored High School. It is absolutely disgraceful the way the majority stand on corners of minds of weather at coming out of school and disgrace the name of the high school, Colored and white, alike, look at them in disgust, an arm full of books and acting as though they had never been inside of a school room. I suppose they call themselves the popular pupils of the High School if so many and every one be delivered from popularity, all the days of our lives.

That Fourteenth Amendment After all, the old Fourteenth Amendment is good for something Mr. Taft used it to help a Bishop, Arizona/employer to beat a labor union. So the old thing has life in it when the Supreme Court wills. But think of it; those who enacted this amendment had no idea whatsoever that the Supreme Court in Bishop, Arizona to crush a waiter's union. They did have in mind the definite aim to help the Negroes of Georgia and Mississippi to enjoy suffrage and freedom. But now in the irony of politics and the technicalities of the court, the foe is altogether, and it is intended to a use never contemplate for its makers. It all leads me to reflect: 'There there is plenty of law to do any just thing if the officials WANT to do it.

Smiles and Chuckles By W. E. R. DO YOU REMEMBER When men used to get up in street gars and give their seat to a lady? When a fellow, who met a new girl in a dance and asked her for her address, couldn't find such a street and number in the city? When if you smiled at a girl on the street she would turn her head the other way? When parents used to ask children where they had been when they were absent without leave?

Published by The Stratford Company, Boston, Mass. Price $2.99, postage 15 cents extra. Back in the days of controversy concerning industrial vessels college Education the independent published a somber petition "that was perfected in form, descriptive of the lance of the dusky towers at engine and any, asking what the end of their tool would bring. It concluded with this sexet: "Dear God, we dare not answer, we can see. Not many steps ahead, but this we know." know If it is our toilsome building is in vain Availing not to set our manhood free If curious hate roots on the seed we sow. The South will wear eternally a stain. Recognition of the beauty of the sonnet was at once expressed from many sources and Leslie Pinckney Hill took his place as an American poet. Since then it has been a disappointment to his admirers that economic determinism, as we love to call the power of the environment, has made his output very small. At last however, we have a volume of his poems, 68 in all, that is a source of satisfaction to those who have been impatiently waiting to hear more from this Negro poet. As would be expected from the author of "Tuskegee," some of the poems in the volume are taken from the arrangements of the Negro in America, among them Launching, A Jim Crow Restaurant; The Jim Crow Car; the same delightful titles: "Do lofty mood I mount the recking box." And travel through the land. So Terrage once Moved in old Home, so—wondrous philanthropy. Moore, Esop in old Greece, the dwarf and dune. Then I reflect how their immortal wit Makes the world-laugh with mockery of it." But the poet's sympathies are wider than his own race. "Who are my brothers?" he asks, "only those who wear my own complexion swart?" and answers: "Ah no, but all through whom there flows the blood-stream of a munity heart." And so we have a tribute to Good Mayer Mac Swiney who died for Ireland, to Chemenan, to Katerina Preshkorskaya and others. Perhaps most lovely in human touch is the sonnet. Mr Hill inclines to the sonnet form, or The Berglund Statue of Lincoln. There are poems, however, in the volume written without reference to race or national conflict, souls poems of the spirit. There are bits of description, as this of a Brazilian forest; Of little swarming insect parasites. Of Fiery creatures bent upon their prey. Of birds with all the colors God has made That nature could herself dream nothing more." And this from an Alpine scene: "Upon your ear shall sound the clear flute note Of dripping water, or the happier bird." Of slower streams that leap from holder walls. Singing of freedom from the tyrant ice." The first four lines of "Boss Swimming." "Little bad swimming in a running stream," recalls Sorello's wonderful picture at the Metropolitan Museum in New York. But the last four lines leave the realm of the artist and show the preacher who must point a moral to the picture that he paints. This touch of the preacher in so much that Mr. Hill writes will endure him to some and to others make his poetry appear over did- THINGS THAT NEVER HAPPEN antic. His fault, if fault it is, is an old-fashioned one and until recently has been found in nearly all our American poetry. Poe, whom America failed to appreciate, was free from it, but the most of the poets of the last century, Bryant, Emerson, Lowell, Longfellow, Whittier, were preachers, turning the moral, sometimes trifly, sometimes with magnificent conviction, to but more mislead they must. In "The Wings of Opinion," she is the name indicates, we hear in pleasant cadences that through the chastening of sorrow, through oppression, we shall mount upon wings to better and higher things.

James Wollon Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in Philadelphia, New York, who is in Washington continuing with Congressman Dyer on the Anti-Lynching Bill, R. H. 13, today predicted that the bill would pass the House at an early date, with a large majority. "The indications are," said Mr. Johnson, that the Dyer bill will be passed soon by a large majority. "They have shot their strongest holl and it proved to be not very strong. Their bill limiting tactics have failed. The House has listened to them and then voted them down. "Probably the opposition to the Iyer Bill will be come weaker and weaker as the debate proceeds.

Merketh exhibited the best form of any member of Cajun football and had a triple with Merketh both contributed a field goal and Shields two goal goals.

The team has just returned from an extensive trip through the East, where they met the "Cream" of Basketball talent in that section. Unfortunately, however, the plucky O'Briens could not stand up under the strong Eastern clubs, and the majority of the games were lost. At Hampton, Wilberforce came into her own, and defeated the "residents" in a thrilling contest, which was featured by sensational shooting, high class blocking and excellent floor work, on the part of both teams.

IN THE WORLD OF SPORT Isn't it strange how one's memory tricks one at times? Very often, the name one has heard called or seen in print time and time again exudes one's recollection with that same persistence that that name It was just such a trick that the famous New York sports writer Robert Edgerton was made the victim of by his memory when he wrote the article published in last Sunday's Baltimore Evening News by which he sought to prove in the affirmative that modern athletes are better than the old timers were. Edgerton's Memory Fails In proving his case, Mr. Edgerton proceeded to give the old records principally in track events---and the names of those who made them, over against these, he set the new records and the names of those who had made them also--with one exception. Going back about a quarter of a century, and coming down to the present day Prynstein's Record Of course everyone who follows sports to any extent knows that Not Gordini a young college man who graduated from Harvard University has June made the new record; and no farther back than last July, when he jumped 25 feet and 2 inches thus breaking the old record that had not been broken up almost 65 names, some of them stretching back over this quarter century period. Mr. Elgengo could not to save his life, thinks of the new broad jumper's name so this is how he disposed of the incident: "My Muster Tristefel's 24 foot 7'1-4 inch running broad jump this year to better 25 feet." Edgern Quite An Old Man Mr. Edgern is an old newspaper man; we recall reading his sport effusions quite a period back ourselves; but here he not only allows a sport effusion to his memory, but is guilty of less palpiting defection: sloveness in his writing. Prinstein's 24 foot, 7-14 inches running broad jump has been raised this year to better than 25 feet. "So' by whom, Prinstein? He pamperises his former mark and discover that he had been cheated out of several inches? We have heard it said that Mr Edgren's in "in good standing" of that brotherhood of newspaper scribes who never say a good thing for a colored person i fit is possible to gay a bad one, and lacking the latter opportunity "don't say nothin' atall". On course we have no quarrel with Mr Edgren, or anybody else on that score; such is their privilege. Yet in Mr. Edgren's case we cannot help wondering, if his was really a lapse of memory or Oh, well we'll give him the benefit of his memory to trick him again, we repeat the name: EDWARD ORYMAL COUEDIN (COLORED) Out-Class More Experienced Opponents Whom They Nose Out 21 to 18 The High School basketball team struck its stride last Saturday night at the "Y", defeating the Athletic Arrows in a fast game, 21 to 18. High School showed remarkable efficiency in both its defensive work and in passing, in both of which departments they outclassed the double A's. The work they did in this line was evidenced in the fact that while they found little difficulty in negotiating plays, the team right up to basket the posts were held so tightly that they were forced to make most of their shots from the center. Friday night High School is scheduled to grapple with the St. Mary's five at St. Mary's Hall. In the preliminary game, the "Y" Pirates defeated the "Y" Ravens 47 to 9.

This victory came as sweet revenge, since the visitors won over Hampton last season, 28 to 27. The first half ended 11 to 19 in Hampton's favor, but at the beginning of the second half the Seaside team was sensational and shooting that took the Capital City boys off their feet.

He said that a sort of campaign of advertising had been conducted by distributing cards through the laundries and by other methods without any marked success, and that he had come before the Ministers' Meeting to see what steps might be taken by them in seeking to stir up interest. No definite method of procedure was taken by the ministers as a whole, but each minister was instructed to mention the three more fully with the matter and see what in their judgment seemed the best way to preserve this institution to the colored people of Baltimore.

BRYANT CRITICISES CHURCH BISHOPS Finds Great, Similarity Between Old Time Convict Overseer And Average Bishop Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 27.—"Did it ever occur to you what a great similarity there is between the old time convict overseer and the average bishop of the bishops of the A.

Sunday School Union appeared in the Sunday School organ, the "Young Allante," and has created a sensation in the church. "The new crop of bishops," Mr. Bryant says, "is getting worse instead of better and selfishly refuse to the ministers in buying homes or caring for their families." Mr. Bryant also accuses the bishops of accepting sums in addition to their $3,500 salaries from conferences and other organizations. The editorial continues further. "Dr. B. F. Watson, when asked why he never made an effort to be a bishop in the church remarked that he entertaining as he does the desire to go to Heaven, he refused to take a chance with the bishopric. "The men who have made the church are rapidly passing away. Very little of that which amounts to three hurrahs! are going into the ministry.

The society-hating Virgin, in full dress and top hat, stood inside a Boston ballroom. Beatrix Marley had done it two days before; she had telephoned the Virgin that she must see him, and as he could not very well visit her home after his physical encounter with her father, she had begged him to come on annual dance to the Heliotrope Club, which she was secretary, and had mailed him an invitation, most starring for a sight of her he had accepted the invitation. So here he was, in an antorome, listening to a languorous waltz that floated out from the dancing floor. At dinner he had listened to Will Reese, Nick Hartwell, and Phil Worden, discussing the Helotropte attail and wonder what he was going to escort to be Miss Marloy's escort. Apparently none of them was destined for the honor. The Virgin wondered, too. It appeared that Beatrix had told her friends that she had a surprise for them and they thought the surprise would be a new young man. The Virgin had not told any of the boys about his invitation, and as they talked to the he knew Beatrix Marley, it was occurred to them that he might be asked to the dance. He forwent their surprise when he should appear at the hall. He wondered if he was the surprise that Beatrix had promised them. It was too bad that her father's anger prevented his going to Beatrix's escorting room, so he would have course perfection is not to make the thing a perfect drama he attained on earth. When the Virgin appeared at the entrance to the clockroom the dance was in full swing and no one saw him. By the time he had taken off his overcoat and finished his primping the music had stopped, and he showed himself at the door. There was an exclamation, and his college mates spontaneously drew together in the middle of the floor. "My, my," said Phil Worden, "dost thou see it?" "Indeed, I dost," said Mick Hartwell. Soon all the eyes in the little hall were fired to the stranger at it. It was then that Missatrix Marley stepped from a circle of admirers and made her way towards the Virgin. "Oh, Chris," she said aloud, "I'm so glad you came!" "Christ" exclaimed the fellows involuntarily. Matrix was colored from head to foot took the Virgin's arm and led him to the astonished group LOCO A useful Kit WITH A ON For a limited scription for one addition, during OUR S $2 Both old and new subs If you are already same.

Signed, of his college mates. They looked on as if they could scarcely believe their eyes. "I promised you a surprise," she said. "Behold him." "Yes," said Joe Grimes, who had been as ignorant as the others of the Virgin's invitation. "We're beholding him, all right." "Am I right in assuming that the next dance is ours, Beatrix?" asked the Virgin, while the other men looked on amazed at the familiarity. "Dance?" said Will Reseve. "Does the Virgin dance?" "He does not only things that you know nothing of," said Beatrix with a tantalizing flash of her eyes. The hall was beautiful that night. It was just large enough for thirty couples to dance comfortably, and the ceiling was high, which caused the room to look walls were covered with wreaths smaller than it width. The window and the mirrors, all of a diophthalmic color, all at one end of the room a balcony, edged with gilt, shone white against the prevailing purple, like an altar. In such a setting everything seems light and graceful, and even the most rotund young women gave one the illusion of aliyr stenderness, especially when their gowns are as insubstantial as the morning. Into this sanctum of Boston's best and tenderest Beatrix led the Virgin, leaning fondly on his arm, as if she were unaware of the faces of the other women and did not know what was being said behind their fans. She walked with her head high which did not keep her from turning her head up, and her Virgin every other second, as if it took that set his blood smimmering. "Of course the next dance is ours," she said, as she led him away from his astounded college mates. "You must forgive me if I make too many social blunders," said the Virgin. "I remember I'm a contrary person, seeing metropolitan society for the first time." "Oh, I think you'll be civilized enough. You'll be the big hit of the dance. Right now, out of the corners of my eyes, I can count six girls who are aching for an introduction." "But I don't wish to meet many people," said the Virgin. "They can't find anything, interesting in me." "They can't." You know very little about girls; your unaffected innocence will have them all after you. I see your college mates circulating among them, so by this time they all know what you're the famous Virgin, the only personable man who ever stayed a year in college without going near them. They know all about you; you've been unintentionally adorned." As she spoke the low chord of a bass viol sounded through the hull, and with the rustle of many she dresses the dancers spring to their partners. The bass chord resounded, the violins began to sign, a drum fluttered softly, and the piano struck in. "What is it?" asked the Virgin. "A waltz!" said Beatrix, her eyes shining as she turned into his arms. It was indeed a waltz, one of the best ever written, Offenbach's waltz from "The Tales of Hoffman," in which the supposed Olympia dances Hofman into vertigo. In a moment the Virgin and Beatrix were springing, winding, and wailing through the dancers, many of whom cast quick sidewise glances at the new cavalier. Beatrix eyes were shinning into his arm was about her warm supple, yielding waist, and they were dancing perfect. "You surprise me. How you can dance!" "Yes---with you." "No" she insisted. "with anyone; you were horn for it." With a few long, high, retarded notes, in which the dizzy Hoffman spins helplessly around by himself and falls exhausted upon a sofa, the waltz ended, and the assemblage, their faces flushing with delight, betook themselves to seats. "Look about you, Chris," said Beatrix, "and tell what lady you would like to meet." She might as well have offered vinegar to the man who had just been drinking champagne. "Oh, quem, I came here to be with you." "You can't expect me to monopolize you at a dance." "Oh, she said ruectly, "but I did want to have that talk, you know." "Oh, we'll have that," she reassured him. "Until then, I hope you will be agreeable to my friends. I've told them all about you, what a gentleman you are and all that." "You he said, 'on my first visit to your home you told me I was not a gentleman.'" She leaned close to him and fixed him with her eyes. In a low, concentrated voice she said: "What did I tell you on your second visit?" His heart vaulted into his throat, his eyes blazed in hers as if he were about to take her into his arms before all Boston. Her eyes fell. "Don't look at me like that...here," she whispered. "Everyone is watching us." "Let them watch. I don't care if the whole world knows what I think of you." "You must control yourself. Chris. We are not at home now. If you are going to be like this, I don't know what I shall do about our friendship." "Friendship! Is that all it means to you?" "Chris! What do you expect me to say in a ballroom everyone looking on? You are embarrassing me to do before my friends, really. To do let me introduce you to the girls." "I think I'll go home," said the Virgin, who never could act rationally when he was with Beatrix. She always stirred up something wild in him. "Home!" she gasped. For the first time since he had met her, her face grew hard. She leaned toward him with glittering eyes, and with the hiss of an angry sorpent she whispered that stung him his wisterious but forks, continued next week).

PARENT'S PROBLEMS Q. What course should be taken with a girl of eight, brings a playmate home to luncheon, without first asking her mother's permission? A. That a child should bring her playmate home to luncheon, without first asking permission, shows spontaneous hospitality, pride in her home and an attitude toward it as being, as a matter of course, friendly to her friends—all excellent qualities to be fostered. But the prohibition on the other way, without your permission, but encourage in every way her bringing her friends to her home. In no other way can you better judge the suitability or value of the friendship than by observing the other child when under your roof or in your playground. To confidence that he may share his friendships with his family would be a disastrous mistake. A Striking Pose THE WORLD'S FIRST WOMEN'S FILM MAKER Photo by Penn Studio Miss Goidie Ball, 1111 W.

By crying and by movements they can explain a great many things. WELL BABY. A normal, healthy child gains regularly in weight. Has a warm moist skin, breathes quietly, eats heartily, sleeps peacefully, has one or two regular bowel movements daily and enjoys only one he is hungry, uncomfortable if ill or indulging in a bit of temper, when sleeping. Quiet, limbs relaxed, sleep peaceful, no looking about. Facial Expression. Calm and peaceful. If baby is suffering pain, the features will contract from time to time and the fists will be clenched tightly. Breathing, regular, easy and quiet: However, during the first weeks of life breathing may be irregular in perfectly normal bodies. This should excite no alarm unless associated with other abnormal conditions, such as hot skin and flushed face. Baby should breathe through the mouth and keep the mouth closed. Mouth breathing can be habitual bellowing; the mouth open usually indicates the presence of adenoids or some other obstruction to the breathing which needs the attention of a physician. Skin. Warm, slightly moist and a healthy pink color. The skin should be soft and smooth to the touch and the underlying muscles firm. Plabby muscles usually indicate something wrong with the feeding. Crying. Babies need a certain amount of crying to develop their lungs. When children cry for everything they want, it is the result of faulty training. If baby is cross or freaked out, it is a great deal of the time, it does not mean necessarily that he is ill, but there is something wrong with him. Learn what he is crying to tell you by Hunger Cry. A low, whimpering cry sometimes accompanied by sucking the fingers or the lips. If the meal is not for ingestion it may change to a lusty scream. Babies are as likely to cry from indigestion caused by overfeeding as from hunger. Frettel Crying. The baby is sleepy or uncomfortable. He may be too warm or tired of being laid in one position. A topid pouch bath and gentle rub or a change of clothing and taking him out will prove very restful and comforting. If the crying continues, consult the Cry of Colle or Pain. A lusty cry sometimes rising to a shriek, with tears in the eyes. In colle or abdominal pain, the knees are drawn up and the fist are clenched. A tight fist is usually an indication of pain. If the crying increases with moving of an arm or leg or when placing the child in a certain position, he may have a broken hope or other damage calling for the attention of a doctor. Sick Cry. The very sick baby does not cry hard. There is a low moaning or a wail, with sometimes a turning of the head from side to side. SICK BABY. Learn to recognize any change from the normal. Unusual flushing or pallor of the face, sleeplessness, lack of energy, loss of appetite, profuse sweating, especially of the head, peculiarness, vomiting or diarrhea, give warning that something is wrong.

THE FATHER WHO HELPS WITH KIDDIES Not Henpecked, But Finds His Best Fun In Watching His Own Develop What a pleasure it is to hear an enthusiastic father talk about his children and the good times he has with them! The day before Christmas I had some business to transact with a business man who is also a friend. We transacted the business and then he pushed the pearls back and his face broke into a grain of happy reminiscence. "I had the time of my life yesterday," he said. "Took the children to see Santa Claus." "I thought the women folks usually attended to that," I said, not because I really thought so but because I wanted to hear his out Not In His Family "Not in our family," he retorted. "That's a privilege I keep for myself. Say you ought to hear Kimball—he's four and a half—hunch when Santa did some funny antics. And you ought to have Junior giving him directions about just what he wanted. He takes after his mother. He always knows just what he wants and he isn't going to take any substitutes. You ought to have heard him. I wouldn't have missed it for a hundred dollars." And I, while I would put my price at a hundred dollars, not have taken quite a bit for the pleasure of hearing that father.

So many fathers are willing to work hard for their children, to deny themselves to give those child- ren every advantage and some- times the disadvantage of more luxuries than are good for them— in fact, to do everything except take in return the joy and com- pensation. Know a father who has five children and never has put one of them to bed: "Why should I?" he said when his wife declared he would not know how to put the children in bed right up. I give my wife plenty of service. Why should I act as nursemaid? If he never does it he will never know. No one can tell him. father who returns, I know a pleasant week-end because he was going away shorty on a trip and could not bear to lose last week-end with his children. The youngest child, he said, was that formative period where every week made a change in him and he did not want to miss one of this fleeting joy of his babyhood. When you come to think of it, the search for happiness is the motivating force of the whole human race, whether we seek happiness in work, or in love, or in service to others, or in various forms of pleasure. What a misfortune that misses the happiness of fatherhood while he accepts its burdens and responsibilities. 100 If your hair is short nearly, ugly, way out stubborn start up Hair Dressing and after a new application it will be beautiful.

AD. 340-185-1954 THE AFRO-AMERICAN IMMORALITY AND WOMEN OF THE STAGE Intimacy Between Managers And Female Performers Is On Increase Says Player STAGE MUST BE CLEAN Performers Must Give Attention To Their Private Life And Public Conduct BY WILLAM E. READY Last week we discussed in these pages the information that had been given the writer, by a woman performer to the effect that some managers are demanding that colored performers indulge in "sniff". There were some other those who did the writer by this informant that we did not speak of at that time, chief among which—in our judgment—was that there is a growing intimacy between theatre managers—and a certain type of women players. This informant went on to say, that this type of player is next to impossible to depend on as a constant reason that, when looked for to "go on", she could invariably be located in seclusion with such managers. This sort of thing said this woman, who has had a long and varied experience in the show business, is on the increase and is giving colored women performers as a whole, a bad name. And moreover, is exerting a pernicious influence not to be pampered, but to be empowered girls who seek the stage as a means of livelihood, and who if given proper protection might develop into artists who would be a credit to the profession. Performers Must Bring Reform This information is not new; it has come to the ears of the writer on several occasions laterly, and of course—if the old adage is true, where there is so much money, the thing that something must be done, and the proper ones to begin the reform are those members comprising the better element of the profession who regard the stage as a A SWANOLA and BLACK SWAN Records will bring joy on Xmas and every day throughout the New Year Title Reg.

And while the "cleaning up" process apparently should come from the performers within, it does not follow that the public has no alternative in the matter: As a race the Negro is just mounting his waves of violence, negligence. If the term may be permitted; the achievements of the race in other lines of activity have been such as to challenge the admiration and respect of the world, and the Negro stage up to this time having not kept pace with some of the race's other achievements, is just beginning to attract attention, and it must get to its cleanest and clearest limit if it is to take its rightful place in the advancement of the race. This is essential; the age of Pur- uism when the stage was re- corded as the "Workshop of the vil" is past and today, the stage regarded not only in the light of a necessary recreation but as a valuable factor of education; and it cannot be allowed to die, or worse, degenerate into a cesspool of vice. Churches And Pulpit May Interfere If the performers and managers cannot keep it above reproach then the church and the pulpit will be forced to step in—a step they will not have to do when they do, the stage may be lost to the race; and performers forced back into the mental capacities at starvation—wages from which many of them escaped.

Chicago. Jan. 27. Is "Shimmy Dancing" indecent? In stripped English that left nothing to the imagination, three of Chicago's best known reformers and one of the city's best colored "shimmy shakers" battled for three hours in the morals court last Tuesday over the question of what constitutes improper entertainment. At the end of the day Judge Arnold Heap, who presided over the verbal battle, announced wearily that he was depressed. He will decide today who won. The three reformers were there to convince the judge that the entertainment which thrilled the patrons at the Entertainers' Cafe, a resort frequented by both colored and whites in the days before it was closed by the city was indecent and unimaginative as witnesses against two performers arrested in the cafe when it was called on November 19. The fourth witness was Julia Rector. Not as glib in her explanations as the reformers who testified that she was "a muscle dancer," she often had recourse to the quieter art of pantomine. More than once she brought a smile to the faces of even the reformers and the "persons who had business in the courtroom" with her muscular agressions. The shimmy indecentes" she repeated when she asked if she had gone thru theaked movements attributed to her by other witnesses—"Well, I should say not. Anyway, its not as I dance it." She illustrated her point by modestly shaking her shoulders. FUNERAL am the one proprietor of this and am MRS. ROBERT Funeral Directre Phone Wolf 6590 Lumme 1725 Ashland Avenue MRS. CHARLES B. T.

Before she had been placed on the stand Leslie Lewis, a chemist told of his persecution at the British Invasion by Assistant State's Attorney Frank Southrada. "When I went into the place," said Lewis, "I "saw Julia Rector dancing before a table where two men and two girls were sitting. Some one gave her a quarter and she danced, whirling until her skirts were at a level with her knees. More tips came, her body and her hair were leaning far back, and her dress "caroming well above her waist." Alen Jessie E: Binford, a government investigator, called a spade a spade. "I saw couples clinging together, their lips glued to each other and pressed together to meet and wrested heavily and forth to the strains of the jazz, she said. "At times the man chewed at the nee of his partner." She described "jazz as a caddy of barnyard sounds, the crowing of roosters, the crowing of sheep, the dogs, all coping together and served with the beating of tom toms by a colored orchestra. Only a colored man can put the right punch in jazz she said.

There will be about 29 withdrawals from the school, however due to graduation, the schools are now enrolled, and they are virtually sitting all over each other while getting an education. The building at Pennsylvania Avenue and Dolphin Street is overcrowded, necessitating some classes being held in the basement. A portable, two story shop building and an annex on Pennsylvania Avenue are required to relieve some of the congestion. There has been no place used as an assembly hall by the pupils since the School Board terminated its contract with the trustees of Sharp Street Memorial Hall. That the Dolphin Theatre will be used for assembly purposes as soon as completed. It may be months before the school occupies the old white female House of Refuge property at Baker and Carey streets, recently bought by the city for a senior minor in the city. Old buildings will have to be re-modelled and probably additions built.

Right across the street is Payne Memorial A. M. E. Church, one of the many churches looking after the spiritual welfare of the thousands of colored people who live in that section of Northwest Baltimore. Among the racial business enterprises directly opposite the school are Barnett and Hall, who conduct a large handling and moving business at 1300 N. Calhoun street; S. C. Carter, who runs a grocery store at 1392; S. C. Calloway, who sells men and women's clothing at 1404, while his wife wives a confectionery store at 1394. Joseph Gayman, who has a job printing establishment at 1310. At 1400 Laureus street J. Martin runs a fish and oyster business and further up the street W. Queen has a coal yard and there is a job printing establishment. Several lunchrooms, two barber shops and other business enterprises in the block. Rev. J. G. Martin, who has confidence in the future of that section of the city for the race is having four two-story stores erected on the lots at 1403-5-7 and 9 Laureus street, with a garage holding 50 cars in the rear. The work is being done by James G. Martin, JK, and is nearly completed. “There are great possibilities for the race in this section of the city.” Rev. Martin said the other day. “There are thousands of colored people living in this section and they should support racial energies.
