PULMOTOR FAILS TO BRING AGED MAN BACK TO LIFE
United Railway's Wonderful Machine Works For An Hour On Dead Church Sexton
The United Railway's pulmotor with the record of having saved from drowning and from gas poisoning over two hundred persons, failed to bring Matthew Comegys, aged 70, 769 Harford Avenue, back to life last Saturday night.
Rev. John Watkins, pastor of the Methodist Evangelist Church, McElderry Street, was passing the utluthing about eleven o'clock when he noticed a light in the church. On investigation, he found Mr. Comegys, the sexton, lying in the kitchen under a table and gas flowing freely from a gas stove and a hot water heater. From all indications he had attempted to bathe as he was clad only in an undershirt and top shirt. Evidently the aged man had lit the water tank for his bath when his clothing took fire. Without turning the gas under the tank off, it is thought, he went to beat out the flames of his clothing and in so doing fanned out the blaze under the heater. The gas in both heaters, it was declared, flowed through a ruin rate that it was but a few minutes before he was overcome. By the time the police were summoned they in turn called for the United Railway's pulmotor. Mr. Comegys had been unconscious and probably dead for an hour. Nevertheless, assistants set the machine to work to inhibit artificial respiration and worked for over an hour without success. Physicians say his age was against him as he was clad only in an undershirt and top shirt. Three brothers, Isaac and James of this city and Alexander, of Conterville, Md., survive him.

City Senator Introduces Drastic Inter-Marriage Bill In Maryland Legislature

Measure Designed To Keep Couples Wedded Elsewhere Out Of State
Annapolis,Md., Feb. 16—A drastic inter-marriage bill to bolster up Maryland's existing law prohibiting white and colored people from marrying was introduced in the Legislature here by State Senator George Arnold Prick, Democrat, of Baltimore.
Maryland's existing inter-marriage laws make the marriage of a "white person and Negro, or descendant of a Negro to the third crime". The law declares inter-generation inclusive, an infamoushibited and void and provides a marriage of the races forever propensity of imprisonment up to ten years. Any minister who marries a white person to a colored person, if convicted, may be fined

Bishops' Council Ends
The Council of Bishops of three denominations, A. M. F., A. M. E. Z. and C. M.

DR. McNEIL'S REPORT READ
Would Not Take Responsibility for Health of Pupils Any Longer
Bowie, Md., Feb. 15.—Bowie Normal School here will close Friday to remain closed until an adequate supply of water for the students is provided. Principal L. S. James announced today. Order to close came directly from State Superintendent of Schools Albert S. Cook, and followed a conference at his Baltimore office on Monday with principal James, Medical Advisor br. W. C. McNeill, and the other faculty. The members returned here Monday afternoon, but made no statement. Those who made the trip were Mrs. Carrie B. Overton, Misses Heilen L. Connerer, A. D. Williamson, A.

Superintendent Cook's Letter
February 13, 1922
Principal L. S. James
Bowie Normal School
Every effort possible has failed to provide an adequate supply of water for Bowie Normal and Industrial School for colored clothing at present. The supply is insufficient and the school physician has recommended that the school be closed within a week.
The school therefore will be closed on February 17th and remain closed until the proper supply of water is available. Appending the report of Dr. W. C. McNeill, the school physician.
Superintendent of Schools
Nothing Said About Dormitories
It will be noted that Superintendent Cook's letter announces reopening as soon as a water supply is adequate. Nothing is said about providing adequate dormitories before the pupils are permitted to return, and it is not known whether efforts will be made to remedy this condition or not. Three pupils were reported sleeping in a room, sometimes one above the other, the lack of the room in the girl's building and the burning of the boys' frame dormitory recently.
According to Dr. McNell's report conditions are no worse at the school now than they were in October and November, but are sufficiently alarming to force him to return to take responsibility longer for the health of the students.
The physician's letter which follows absolves Principal James from all blame, declaring that the lack of water was due to conditions over which he had no control, and that every effort has been made to secure a water supply.
Dr. McNell's Report
February 11, 1922
Principal L. S. James,
Bowie Normal School,
Bowie Park, Md.
Dear Sir:
In reference to the sanitary conditions in the school, permit me to say that I can only say now what I have said from time to time. Because of an inadequate supply of water for the school and the distance from which it was obtained of it was obtained as well as the manner in which it was handled, the possibilities of pollution and contamination are very great. Consequently, the possibility of some form of epidemic, especially typhoid fever is greatly enhanced. The remedy for the insufficient supply of water was attempted, but failed because of conditions over which you have no control, which necessarily adds to the damage of theaping the place in military condition, so present than they were in October and November. The small amount of water available prevents the proper quantity for drinking, bathing and laundry work. The health of all concerned may be injured. Students in the girls' dormitory are too crowded. Under even the best conditions the possibility of a student is great, but the student is when you are handicapped by the lack of an abundant supply of water. The question of having students vaccinated against typhoid was taken up and discussed: As there is no suitable place to use as a sick room and as the facility for taking care of the sick girls are poor, I would not advise to have it done at this time. The time, the vaccine and the small pox and boiled water for drinking as told before.
As the warm weather nears, I want to urge you to use every effort possible to remedy these conditions. If they cannot be remedied soon I would advise you to call the attention of the superintendent of schools to the conditions and possibilities so that can be decided whether the school not be well to close should rather than run additional risks. Personally I should not run the risks in taking on the responsibility of keeping the school open a week longer unless there was a surety of obtaining, within a month, plenty of good water.

J. H. Murphy Finds That Southern Rebels Still Think Jeff Davis Won The Civil War
BISHOPS END MEET
Demand of Resignation of Ira T. Bryant Proves Sensation of Session.
Montgomery, Alabama. Feb. 14
Alabama rebels still think that Jefferson Davis won the Civil war. Nothing else can explain why the Confederate flag is raised over the State Capitol here instead of the union jack while the legislature is in session.
In spite of this fact, this state is kinder to its Colored Normal School than Maryland is to the Bowle. Charles Stewart and I had the pleasure of speaking to the student body this week, and in talking with the president, we were informed that from the legislature that the General Education board together, this school will get $72,000 for expenses and new buildings.
Bethel College, recently purchased by the A. M. E. Church ris from the Catholics, for $30,000 of was formerly the school of our own Father Horse, and enrolled a campus of 164 acres, and saved the buildings in a magnificent location. One hundred and fifty students are enrolled and put when we saw it the girls were the playing baseball.

Bishops
The total number of Bishops of three denominations, A. M. E., A. M. E. Z, and C. M. E. came to an end after a discussion of plans for unification.
The following bishops were present and took a seat in the meeting: F. Loe, senior; C. S. Smith, historian; I. L. Coppin, S. I. Pippin, William D. Chapele, John Hurst, William H. Heard, W. Beckett, I. N. Ross, Joshua, A. Jones, William Decker Johnson, A.
C. M. E. Bishops, Isaac Lane, senior; R. S. Williams, C. Ottrell, C. H. Phillips, R. A. Carter, N. C. Cleaves.
Bishop W. H. Heard was brought from the train in a rolling chair and was unable to attend any of the meetings. Bishop J. Aber Johnson suffered with a minor ailment.
Each of the churches have present their general secretaries an editors and other representative members, the A. M. E. church is also attended by the Women's Missionary Board, who appropriated $1,500 for general missionary work and the same amount for the extension of a mission station in South Africa.
Held Sessions Separately.
In addition to the joint sessions of the bishops of the three denominations, other sessions were held separately. The sensation of the A. M. E. session was the demand of the Bishops that Ira T. Secretary of the Sunday School Union in charge of the printing plant at Nashville resign. Mr. Bryant refused, and the Board of Managers of the Union were ordered to suspend him from further activities, until the General Conference in 1924.
The suspension of Mr. Bryant is the result of an editorial in a church paper the "Young Allenite" in which he compared bishops to "convict messengers," and accused them of accepting money from ministers and conference in addition to their ailies.
Because the editorial was an attack upon all bishops, and was printed in an official organ of church, the bishops Coupé updated Mr. Bryant's conscience and sent a written apology to the other two councils.

72 PER CENT OF JAMAICA BIRTHS ILLEGITIMATE
West Indian Newspaper Launches Fight To Clean Up Immorality On Island
MANY MOTHERS GIRLS
Boys From Fifteen to Eighteen Become Fathers Without Marriage Responsibilities
Jamaica, B. W. I, Feb. 10—Latest report shows that of 34,943 births here last year, 25,208 were illegitimate announces the Jamaican Times in launching a fight against immorality on the island. "It means," says the Times, "that in Jamaica that out of one hundred births, every one is illegitimate. That the rate of the whole island but even this amount is exceeded in certain parished." In St. Thomas 81 children out of every 100 are illegitimate and in Port Royal the proportion is 80. The very lowest rate for any parish is 63 per cent. These figures are a new devil's record. We Jamaicans who are priding ourselves on behalf of others, behold self-sacrifice, fuller self-respect on more education, more enlightenment and more civilization, we who are so ready to resent with bitter acrimony anything that disparages us even slightly in comparison with other communities, we in the year 1921, instead of improving on a shamefully high程度 of illegitimate births took the second further. "Mothers Fourteen Years Old." There are still worse things behind these figures, for, within recent years, there has been a great increase of illegitimate births where the mothers are still practically girls, some time no older than 14, in other cases 16 and 17. In the same way lays of 15, 16, 17 and 18 are becoming father to which community was up against it in a grave, moral peril that case is here and now in Jamaica.
Among the measures advocated by the Times to improve conditions are first: in the schools teach the rising generations the vital things of the body and one and for all prevent the boys and girls from getting by last, second; set up an unyielding standard requiring a higher moral sexual code among public officers from the lowest to the highest, third; register all fathers, protecting the innocent as well as possible from the danger of blackmail which are very rare, fourth; simplify, humanise and make people understand and impress fathers to support their offspring. These are some of the measures that we can take and should take. A strong hand should be laid on this situation and no mercy should be shown towards teachers or writers who help to debauch the public tone. This community is stricken with a deafness and the public we have the grit to apply drastic measures its doom seems certain.
WILMINGTON, Del. Feb. 16.—WANTED. a master; an able-bodied colored man, good references, willing worker, will sell himself into slavery for his and his mother's keep; we have got to eat; state best price. Edward Frazier, 1101 Pasture street, Wilmington, Del.
This was the copy of an advertisement presented to a local paper by Frazier. He is 25 years old, and lives at 1101 Pasture street. He said he had sent the advertisement because he was $75 in arrears in his rent and was virtually without food or fuel. Frazier lives with his mother, a widow, who is dependent upon him, and a support. He said he had been without steady work more than a year.

They All Leave Home When Father Of Twenty-Eight Returns With A New Bride
Greenshore, N. C., Feb. 16.—Uricole Bob Austin, ex-slave, living near here, is the father of twenty eight children, twenty-six of whom are living. All but seven having gone off to themselves, he has taken three other children to rear Uncle Bob's first wife bore him eight children, the second fourteen; the third, still a young woman, six. It was when he brought third bride to his home that twenty-one of the twenty-two children had there with him left in a huff. Austin is the tenant manager of a farm. He eats three square meals a day and chews tobacco, but does not smoke and doesn't allow smoking on his premises. No wife or child of his ever gave him any way back talk more than once. He has soon "tamed" him, he said with a chuckle. "In my house day must go my way."
Austin is seventy-one years old and was born a slave. He remembers hiding meat in the woods when Sherman's Army came through North Carolina to the south through Georgia to the south. Austin is not one, however, who lives in the past. He has no thought of dying. He enjoys life. He has accumulated considerable gear during his life, among it an automobile, and he does not sit at home in the ashes and mop, but at home in the barns and yards. One of his sons, a soldier in the World War, brought back a uniform, which Austin delights to wear. Dressed up in that he struts around the farm. He has memories to take picture, take think he is a Bishop, he says when they see his picture.
O BRING BACK BODY
OF COL. CHAS. YOUNG
Sunday, March 12th Settled As National Memorial Day In Honor Of Great Soldier (Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C. Feb. 6, 1946 After bombing, the officials in the state department, and other well known citizens throughout the country, the Associated Negro Press announces Sunday, March 12th, as the date for National Memorial Services in honor of Colonel Charles Young, U. S. A., well known soldier" who died in the war in Nigeria, in the service of his country.
The final disposition of the body of Colonel Young has not been determined upon. It has been stated that the laws would probably not permit bringing the body to this country within a year. Consequently, the for the nominal service was agreed upon at the State Department, at the Associated Negro Press was informed unofficially that the immediate cause of the death of Colonel Young was Bright's disease. It is thought that he had gone to Nigeria for the benefit of his health. Mrs. Charles Young, the colonel wife, it is learned, is in this country at Wilberforce, Ohio, the country home of the distinguished military officer, where the Colonel mother is also living.

MANY NEGROES LIVE IN HILLS OF THREE STATES
West Virginia, North Carolina And Tennessee Have Sturdy Colored Mountain Folk
NEWSPAPERS SCARE
Travelling School Only Means Of Carrying Culture And Education
Washington, D. C. Feb. 16—Over one million Negroes live in the mountains of North Carolina, West Virginia and Tennessee, declared Professor Harrison Hough, of Morgan College before the Industrial Educational Association here his week. Most fitting said Prof. Hough, "that a discussion of the mountainer should take place on this day—the day when the world pays homage to one of the greatest men who ever lived, Abraham Lincoln—the mountainer of Kentucky."
"I have talked with and worked among hundreds of mountain Negroes. I have found them to be truly Americans. But they have not the facilities for culture and education and the highest development. I have seen humboldt young men and beautiful young women 18, 25 and 30 years of age who could neither read nor write their own names.
There are Negroes in the mountains who have never seen a newspaper; have never heard the names of Dr. DuBois, Kelly Miller, Booker T. Washington or Paul Lawrence Berger; have never seen the mountains who cannot tell you the name of the President of the United States or the Governor of their respective states. But I have found them to be kind-hearted, generous and eager to get information and knowledge.
No where will one find a more black man than the mountain Negro. They are willing to help themselves but they don't know how. It is up to us to show them the way and to aid them while they are struggling to master the fundamentals of a modern civilization.
"The same stuff that was in Lincoln is in some of our mountain Negroes. We may have to another mountaineer, this time a Negro to bring about the second emancipation, the fruits of which shall be the New Freedom.
Professor Hough described the travelling school of Miss Mary Moore, located at Hidnight, North Carolina. The main building, he said, is located in a small town, in the heart of the city, on foot and horseback to teach small groups in all of the surrounding country.

Washington, D. C., Feb. 18.—Telegrams from prominent men and women in Philadelphia urging the appointment of L. C. Overson, headwaiter in a hotel, to the office of Register of the United States Treasury, were found to be fraudulent yesterday.
President Harding had already appointed a white man to this office, and was waiting for a Pennsylvania delegation to put in his appearance to ask for some other position. It is not known who sent the telegrams.
Telegrams carried the names of Andrew F. Stevens, banker, and member of State Legislature, and a number of white people, including Mrs. George Wharton Pepper, wife of Senator John K.

Oil Boom In Texas Town Makes Residents Free With Ready Cash
Mexico, Texas, Feb. 16.—The oil boom has struck this town. A number of colored people have suddenly become wealthy through oil. Many colored people sold their lenses and royalties for large sums and moved out. Others are still sticking and will eventually have incomes placing them among the country's millionaires.
It is not only in the suburbs that oil wells have been sun, but those one with a lot of business from the colored cemetery and Smith Chapel, a colored church and the public school are in the richest part of the oil fields. School is still being held daily but wells are being sank and spouting all around. William Bonsley is one colored man who will not get any money from oil wells. He says the reason it doesn't so worse, my mother-in-law, Mrs. Maria Snaughter, is two good paying wells on her land. Yesterday she went up town and bought a Ford. Today she went up town and bought a Dodge. I don't know what she'll buy tomorrow."

Following the meeting, Dr. Rhotta who specied, issued the following statement: "The object of the meeting was to review the year just ending so that those who have been working as well as those who are going into the work now for the first time might profit by the experiences of the last year.
There work and congratulation in every respect was was upon the origin. It was clearly stated that the future of the Colored Doctor and Nurse is the Health department dedicated directly on their ability at the time to work together as a team and measure up. "Originally, two of our physicians and four of our nurses were admitted by Dr. Jones. Today, there are four doctors and nine nurses at work, and in a very short time, two more of our physicians with a Social Investigator, clerk, and other works necessary to prepare a Health Department Clinic among us, will be placed in the field.
In all circumstances to the people of Baltimore, it should be stated that whatever has been done or what ought will be done in this field, is directly in their faith and work with us. When the people a little while ago, despite the civilization of many, paid the salaries of the original nurses in order to establish a feeding, they drove the entrance woven into this new field.
We would show interested men to
gratefully, were we to fail to make
special mention of the whole
hardened support which was given
us by the elemen and teachers
of Baltimore. To these two groups,
go over 75 per cent of the credit
to the work under discussion, for
they gave us over 75 per cent of
the material support which we received. We want the people to
know that whether it be in the
schools, in the visiting nurses' field
over the field of the various clinics,
which will be established, every
worker has come in through that
same door which you have opened
by your faith and by your hard
earned dollars."

York, City, spent the week-end

As D. Dixon, 337 North Striker Streets, was crossing Draud Hill Avenue at Preston Street, Tuesday evening in his food truck, a Draud Hill avenue car going south struck the rear of the truck turning it completely over. It was a miracle as to how Mr. Dixon escaped without a scratch. With the aid of some spectators the Ford was unhitched and Mr. Dixon continued on his journey.

door to the public.
doubled $50,000 was spent in building it, and as one turns about all one fact that stands out above all others is that it has been built with an eye single to the protection of patrons from disasters. It is absolutely fireproof from first floor to gallery, concrete, iron and brass being the material encountered, with the exception of the seats, and in his speech Mr. E. C. Brown told the audience that there was no danger of snow falling in the roof. The seating capacity of the house is sixteen hundred, divided into first floor balcony and gallery, and there are three tiers of double boxes. The interior is beautifully decorated and the latest lighting effects are used, giving to the interior that air of gentility that is be encountered only in a first-class theatre. The opening on Monday evening brought out a big audience.
During one of the Insecmissions, and
Mr. E. C. Brown, of Philadelphia,
who built the theatre, was introduced
by City Councilman William
L. Fitzgerald, and in a brief but
tense speech welcomed the public
or Baltimore to the house, saying
that the theatre should be built
everybody long as they behaved
themselves, and that it was now in
their hands, whether they should
have drama or something else, but
that the bars were up against a
certain type of vaudeville. He also
took occasion to thank Messrs.
Hathett and Lewis, local bankers,
for the support they had given to

STAR Dick & Dick
Three vaudeville acts of more than ordinary merit are being offered patrons of the Star this week, namely; Dick and Dick. Easton and Stewart and the Magnolia Brown Duo. Each of these acts went over with a bang on Monday and picking the most memorable and prowest Jimmy Stewart well-known heebabouts for his one-swing violin jazzing and Sidney Easton opened and fell at once into favor by their humorous antics, and jazzing. Stewart on his "violin" and Easton on an old broken down organ. The latter is an exceptionally clever comedian who has a natural sense of humor, they won a big band. Dick and Dick followed and were also finely received chiefly by their character David Huntington Negro and Octavia Dick as a fresh kid, especially fine was the former's rendition of "Where The Morning-Glories Grow." The Magnolia Brown Duo consisting of Magnolia Brown and Irene Burns, the former in blackface and the latter a very charming little Miss apparently still in her early teens, won a fine hand for their jokes and singing, little bumps in her hair, a high contemptible manner which augurs for her a bright future in this field. The usual picture program complete the bill.

"The World and The Woman"
JEANNE EAGELS brings to the production her wonderful beauty, and also a spiritual and emotional power that makes her performance truly great. This is one of only two pictures in which the famous Belasco star can be seen; and it is unquestionably her finest performance before the camera. She is now playing to Broadway in the spectacular stage production "IN THE NIGHT WATCH," supported by Robert Warwick and an unusually distinguished cast.
annually distinguishes her. A wealthy rounder's impulse brings a Broadway woman to the clean life of the great outdoors, where she realizes that there is a God. Transfigured by her new-found faith, she comes to be looked upon as an angel by the country folk. Then the man reveals her past.
Then the man reveals her past.
Can she again win back to glorious womanhood? You will want her to with all your heart. Her brave and pitiful struggle brings to the screen a new thrill—a thrill not of the senses nor of the heart, but of the soul.
The Motion Picture News Says:
"Miss Eagel registers every point of her character with a skill and charm that will win her many admirers. She is a real actress and at the same time a real beauty. The story has a good many startling surprises, strong climaxes, and unexpected happenings."—Peter B. Milno.

To save her from the stigma of a convict father and a life of dishonesty, she had given her baby to a strange home.
But mother love cannot be denied. And now she clasped her lost one to her starved breast and gave thanks to God. A remarkable picture of the hidden forces of life.

Suddenly they have all grown up and left her—the babies she used to tuck in bed at night. The old house is empty and silent. All have forgotten her. Her birthdays pass unnoticed. Each child has embarked on a drama of his own. Loves, ambitious, temptations carry them away. There are moments of laughter and comedy, romance, adventure, tragedy. The story of their lives sweeps you along. Your life—your home—your mother as they might have been or as they are. "The Old Nest" will awaken deep in your heart memories of the mother to whom you ran with your childish troubles.
Never before has the screen touched with such beauty and dramatic force a subject which finds an echo in the lives of every one of us. One of the most heart-gripping dramatic stories ever narrated.

All bitter and sweet, and sad and glad, and majestic and petty, and divine and pitiful!

"The Old Nest" is real and touching and almost incredibly without an atom of false sentiment. I have seen it four times and cried each time.

That Free appointment, incidentally disposes of Maryland's ambition to find a Washington bertl for Mr. Winn, J. Fitzgerald.
Ku Kluxing Judges
Alleged Oklahoma Ku Klux Klanman has been lynching and flogging colored people with such regularity, that such incidents are becoming almost commonplace. The latest victim was not colored. He was white, a white judge of oklmusgee discharged a grand jury about to indict men connected with a bank failure. The Ku Klux turned out in a parade of protest, warned the judge, threatened him, drove him out of town, and made him resign before he came back. Hurrah for Ku Klux Justice.
The Health Unit
Mayor Broening's administration has been criticised for so many things that it has failed to do, that none of its achievements should be overlooked. In one sense there is nothing political in the nature of the organization of a colored health unit by Health Commissioner C. Hampson Jones. Nevertheless, Dr. Jones is a part of the administration, and whatever he does in the end redounds to the credit or discredit of the whole city government. A health unit, consisting of four physicians and eight nurses in the public schools, two school dentists, and a veneral clinic, requiring the services of two physicians, and two female workers, is not only a
new thing in Baltimore, but a new thing for many cities of the South with large colored population. If possible in the near future a tuberculosis clinic is to be added. Dr. Jones himself declares that he does not expect the death rate mediately as the result of the work among colored people to drop imof this colored unit. In five or ten years, however, their results should show in decreased number of fatalities from both children's and social diseases.
The Southern Sociological Conference in its annual report last year, asserted that improvements in education, health and crime in colored sections followed the appointment of colored educators, colored health officers and colored policemen. It is a fundamental principal of race psychology that colored leaders can direct the work among their own people to a better advantage that leaders from the other races.
Dr. Jones deserves the credit for recognizing this principle. If thirty out of every one thousand colored people die every year in Baltimore City and only seventeen out of every one thousand white people die during the same period, Dr. Jones reasons that the proper thing to do is to put colored physicians and nurses to work instructing colored mothers how to look after newly born infants; school children must be examined frequently for children's diseases, and adults instructed how to treat venereal diseases.
The AFRO-AMERICAN desires to commend Dr. Jones for this step he has taken in organizing the colored health unit, and believes with him, that if the workers will apply themselves to study and to their work, they can convince the citizens of the city black and white, that they are an indispensable part of the Health Department.
Bowie Schgo!
Only the most drastic steps on the part of the principal of State Normal School at Bowie, Maryland, Mr. J, W. Huffington, white state supervisor of colored schools, and Mr. Albert S. Cook, white state superintendent of schools is going to save this institution, and make it of any service to educational system of the state. Bowie Normal School has long been under fire. The miserable policy of providing it with frame and cheap brick buildings costing $25,600 and furnishing the white
normal schools with $100,000 in buildings, inaugurated by the former state superintendent, M. Bates Stevens, white, has been continued under Mr. Cook the present superintendent. In the matter of teachers' salaries, Mr. Cook recommends to the Legislature this year that the colored teachers at Bowie receive little more than half of the salary he recommends for the white normal schools at Towson and Frostburg.
There is no excuse why colored boys and girls at Bowie should be crowded three in a room in the dormitories, that three or four of them should be compelled to wash in the same basin of water, or that they should be served corn bread and molasses for luncheon like prisoners, who have committed some offense against society. No one in his senses can imagine the same conditions at Frostburg or Towson without the Legislature fixing the responsibility on some official and demanding his head.
Nor can we see the sense in the action of Mr. Cook summoning the entire faculty of the Bowie School to Baltimore on Monday for a conference in which he urged them to retract their letter to the State Board of Education asking for relief from the unsanitary conditions prevailing at the school, unless he means to intimidate them. What steps could they possibly have taken, after the appeal of the student body fell on deaf ears last October, and after little or no attention was paid to the medical adviser's report upon the likelihood of an epidemic.
If Bowie Normal School is filthy and unhealthy as the students claim, as the teachers assert, and as the health adviser reports, this cannot be remedied by calling the teachers or the students for a conference in Baltimore.
If the state of Maryland is too poor to provide for Bowie on the same basis that it provides for Towson and Frostburg, it would be far better to close the school, and avert the possibility of ruining the health of its teachers and students.
Not According To Hoyle
The appointment of Arthur G. Froe of West Virginia to the position of Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia is a sign that all is not serene in the national political world.
This is no reflection upon Mr. Froe, whose record is apparently as notable as that of any other applicant. There is every evidence that the combination of Messrs. Charles Cottrill, "Bob" Church, Link' Johnson, Perry Howard is not functioning now when it comes to federal plums.
A news item in the Associated Negro Press states:
"The state," gotten together immediately following the inauguration in March, has been broken if smithereens. "Church of course desires no office; has actually turned down offers, and has given most unsuspecting of his time and money to "help the cause." Johnson actually did not want a job but was urged to stand, now unfortunately, after his name had been sent to the Senate by the President; Howard landed, a splendid dignified place; but Cohen failed, and Cottrill is shelved."
So it happens that an outsider gets the recorder's job, and the news leaks out that the Washington political game is no longer being played "according to Hoyle."
Frenzied Finance
No other caption suitably describes the banking activities of Messrs. E. B. Taylor and C. Henry looking as brought to light before Willis J. Myers, Referee in Bankruptcy, in the United States District Court last week.
From the first reports of Mr. Harry O. Wilson, receiver, it was believed that the large overhead expenses of the bank including some thirteen thousand dollars paid in salaries to officers and workers in the twenty - seven months of the bank's existence, accounted for the firm's failure. This was bad enough for the firm was spending in salaries alone twice as much as it was earning from the investment of the depositors' money. The hearing brought out the additional fact that both members of the firm had not considered that they might need their assets quickly and so had tied them up in investments, some of which are worthless, and
many of which cannot be liquidated in sixty or ninety days. When the crash came, the members of the firm mortgaged their own personal property and borrowed in every direction, but were unable to stem the tide.
Had they been able to draw on the $6400 invested in the Color Company of America, the $6250 put into the Bankers' Fire Insurance Company, or the $2300 loaned the Dunbar Moving Picture Company, they would have been able to keep their doors open for a while longer. As the Color Company and the Dunbar Company have both gone out of business, the first because young college boys lacked experience in the dye business, and the second because men of little experience attempted to manage a movie business. Other loans of smaller amounts to individuals were made with as little security behind them.
Even if Messrs. Taylor and Jenkins had not come to an untimely end thru their unfortunate investments, the distressing fact remains that their overhead charges would ultimately have squandered their capital and the money of their depositors, a little more slowly, but none the less surely.
The Shorts Case
No one doubts the legal right of Mr. Samuel Shorts to accept a check for $500 from Harry Feldenheimer, white, or his attorneys, in lieu of prosecuting him in the Criminal Courts for the alleged assault upon his ten year old daughter Esther Shorts. Feldenheimer's willingness to pay can only be construed as an admission of guilt.
The case assumes a different aspect, when it is remembered how Mr. Shorts raised a great hue and cry that his family honor had been besmirched a year ago just after the assault was committed, how he incited the community to raise money publicly to engage lawyers to fight the case, and how he publicly promised UNDER NO CONDITION WOULD HE ACCEPT A COMPROMISE. BUT WOULD PUSH THE CASE TO US LIMIT.
In accepting the $500 check, he, not only violated his given word, but he took this action without, the knowledge or consent of his
lawyers and the citizens whom he called in to aid him.
The serious part of the case is not that Mr. Shorts values his daughter's honor, and the sanctity of his home so lightly, but that he has such little respect for the good will of the community.
ARTHUR S. FROE
Hardings Nominee For Recorder
Of Deeds A Lawyer With
Large White Practice
(Associated Negro Press)
Charleston W. Va., Feb. 16.—Ever since the announcement of the new Recorder of Deeds, the country has been wondering who
Mr. Arthur G. Froe, Welch, McDowell County, West Virginia has had a brilliant career in his own state but was not known nationally. He is 47 years of age and was born in Tassell County, Virginia, which adjourns McDowell County, West Virginia in which he now lives. He completed his library education at the Virginia Normal and Collegiate Institute and took law at Shaw University Raleigh, N.C. He graduated in the practice of his profession, he has been remarkably successful, his clientele being restricted to no one race, his principal practice being for the mountaineer whites, Hungarians, Shavs and Italians. He has successfully tried cases in all of the state courts, the Federal courts and has frequently appeared before the Supreme Court of Appeals of this state. He and his partner Harry J. Capehart were the Attorneys for the defense in the few black hand cases in the black world. We have a few years ago, Other attorneys for the defense ex-congressman Burk of Pennsylvania and Judge F. F. Morgan, now Governor of this state.
Mr. Free did not enter the race for Recorder of Deeds, he was originally endorsed by the McDowell County Colored Republican Organization for Assistant United States District Attorney and was not West Virginia Recordship candidate. He had the endorsement of bankers, big and little business men, the McDowell County Bar Association, Republican leaders of both races and many others. The support which it is understood forced quick action in his case was a three column wide, point type editorial on the front page of the McDowell Times in its issue of January 27th. Mr. Free has had no children, Mr. Free was formerly Miss Hattie Johnson, of one of the oldest and most respected families of Petersburg, Va.
Fifteen Years Ago
A number of colored physicians and laymen met at the office of Dr. E. 4. Wheaty Wednesday to discuss the feasibility of establishing a first-class colored hospital with up-to-date equipment. A temporary organization was formed with Dr. H. S. McCard, president, and Dr. S. B. Hughes, secretary.
Mrs. Elizabeth W. Bennett died at her residence, 2322 Dureley St., Friday morning of last week. Three children: Miss Mifry A. Bennett, teacher in the public schools here; Mrs. M. L. Drewey Wilmington, N. C., and hev. E. R. Bennett,ector of St. Mark's P. E. Church, survive.
The Model Industrial School was incorporated this week. H. White, W. H. Fax, A. Hill, J. E. Smith and G. W. Kennard are the incorporators.
Miss Lavinia Scott, clerk in the AFRO-AMERICAN office, spent last week in Philadelphia attending the Reformer Rossoad Convention.
Miss Jennie Johnson and Mr. Jos. Hernandez were quietly married last Thursday at the parsonage by Rev. W. A. C. Hughes. They will make their future home in Philadelphia.
Dean Pickens' Daughter Shines In New York
Intelligence Tests have been held in New York City for the pupils in public schools. In School 114, Harriet Ida Pickens, 12 years old, stood highest of all the pupils, white and colored, in the test of three. Her mark is 141. She is daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Pickens, and expects to enter Wadley High School this year.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON For February 19. 1922
Namman was a great and honorable man; he was also a great warrior, having obtained a number of victories over the enemies of Bembadad, king of Syria. He was honored in every way by his king and the court and by his army. But, he was a lepor.
So life is perfectly happy; those he some dishearted in life's sweetest music there is a temper in his perilise; a desire in his cup of delight; a blackness in its sunshine" and God would have it so, for its discipline is the salvation of men.
Leprosy was, possibly, not looked upon by the Syrian as it was looked upon in Israel, otherwise he would not have come in contact with his family, the court, the king, nor his army. In Israel he would have been an onestate, commanded by the dwellings of the cities and other places dwelling alone, or with others like afflicted. He would have had to cry out: "Unclean, unclean" whenever approached by anyone. Is it to be wondered at then when Kembalad sent a message to the king of Israel to have Naaman cured of his leprosy, that he remit his clothes and said that the king of Syria desired a quarred with him: "The king of Kembalad to be cured and alive." Leprosy was regarded same as death and the preceiving from leprosy was equivalent to making alive.

In the home of Naaman was a little Israelite maid, who had been carefully trained, and who knew something of her people, and who, in all probability, had heard of some of the wonderful miracles she performed. She had felt that if Naaman could sit in touch with the prophet he would be healed. God uses small things as well as large things to accomplish his purposes. How much can a child do if properly directed? When Hisha fainted Elisha probably and a home in Samaria, possibly in another part of the city from the palace. He was constantly in touch with the court and would hear what was going on there. It may have been possible that he would have some Naaman and his retinue as if wended its way to the palace, for he had considered great pump and brine to be a priment to show what a great man he was.
"Sand him to me," was Elsina's message, "so that he may know that there is a prophet in Israel. Naanam gets the message and with all his retinue and pomp draws up at Elsina's humble dwelling stands at the door and waits for the prophet to come out and with insignations and ceremonies, such as he had probably witnessed his own country, because Elsina does things but in private, sends a messenger with the message: "to and wash in Jordan seven times."
No man is good enough to govern another man without that other's consent. . . Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves, and under a just God cannot long retain it (speech at Springfield, II. Oct. 1, 1854.).
Allow all the governed an equal voice in the government; that and that only is self-government. . . Finally, I insist that if there is anything that it is the duty of the whole people to never intrust to hands other than their own that thing is the preservation and perpetuity of their own liberties and institutions (Speech at Poria, II. Oct. 1, 1854.) I go for all sharing the privilege of the government who assist in hearing its burdens, . . . by no means excluding females. (An announcement of political views, June 12, 1836.)
I am opposed to the limitation or lessening of the right of suffrage. If anything I am in favor of its extension or enlargement, I want to lift men up—to broaden rather than contract their privileges (interview, Springfield, Ill.—Heronda, p. 625).
But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow, this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have concentrated in far above our poor power will add or detract, but we will little affect our long remember what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the uninitiated work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining us: that from these dead we take the highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. (Göttingen address, November 19, 1853.)
BOOST WIBECAN
FOR MARSHALL
Brooklyn. N. Y. Feb. 16. George F. Wibecan, grand exalted ruler of the Elks of the World, is being prominently mentioned for United States marshall in New York.
THE FAIR BUCCANEERS
Fair ones with half-size skirts.
Drugstore complexions and bobbed hair;
Midnightly join with midnight flirts.
Who aid them to be fair bue-caneers.
They take care of styles piratical;
Haters like Youamers of the soes
Our fairer sex becomes satirical,
And turn fashions to the breeze.
Scantily clad in styles most during,
They fear neither law or chance;
Their victims yield, scarcely caring
While strong men at them only glance.
Instead of the soas, they rove on land.
In fluviers they skid about
Capturing Barnum's friends who stand
And put the rest to rout.
Narman needed not only physical healing but spiritual healing as well. Narman was an idolatret and did not believe in the God of Elsah and Israel, and it was for the purpose of letting him know that it was not human but divine agency that was needed to cure both his physical and spiritual deprosy. And so, it was Elsah's purpose to convince him of both. The agency was not to be Elsah, nor the waters of Jordan, by Narman's obedience to the directions given. Obedience is better than sacrifice, said the prophet.
There was no healing power in the waters of Jordan, otherwise there would have been no lepers in Israel. "And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisseus in Egypt, who were lepers, then were cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian." -Luke 4-27. Elisha would fix the lepers' thoughts on the healing as the gift of God. It was a test of his sincere and humble obedience. Without yielding the heart and will to God, there is no salvation. The whole thing was for its moral purpose, not from Naaman, the Syrians and also upon the issacies themselves.
But Naaman Was Wroth
New here is a sick man quarrel with the doctor's prescription even before he has tried it. Naxman was a great man and an honorable man and he expected to have a certain amount of defense paid for because he was in danger. He would be cared in his own way, at least in the way he thought he might to be cared "Behold I thought." Yes, that is generally our way, but it is never God's way. God's way is obedience to his will. Naxman was right in his obedience to the threat he was given when he married to the waters of Abana and Pharaon when it came to a matter of cleaning. Jordan was a muddy stream while the rivers of Dumassos were clear and beautiful, and as for the cleansing of his disease, one would been as good as washing to wash in the Jordan, not once per week, but seven times. Not the wash but the challenge to the command.
Accepting The Conditions

have done some great thing"

"How much rather then, wash and

And now he dips seven times

there is a prophet in Israel but a
God in Israel as well. Clean morally,

N. A. A. C. P. Secretary
Criticises Sending Of
Russell To Haiti
New York, Feb. 10—James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, today made public a statement sharply criticizing the Administration for sending Brigadier General John H. Russo to "clear up the situation" in Haiti. "The appointment of Brigadier General Russell to make a report on conditions on Haiti and "clear up the situation" there does not presage any reform of the conduct of Haitian affairs. A commander of the Marine Corps, no matter how able and well qualified for the post is part of the organization that has made and under whose rule in Haiti the worst excesses occurred.
"If the Washington Administration had the best interest of the Haitians and improved relations between them and the United States at heart, it seems a high-class civil-affair. It is an appointment who was not, in virtue of his position, a defendant in the present conventions and charges."

Billy Sunday Treated South Carolina Indians Better Than He Did Baltimoreans Says This Writer To the Editor:
Sir—A few days ago I read an article in your paper as follows: "Spartanburg, S. C., Feb. 2,—Hell proaching, Billy Sunday filled his room with the day and exhorted two hundred and five to bite the sawntist trail. The Jubilee Singers of Silver Hill M. E. Church (colored furnished the music. Only a few colored were admitted to the Tabernacle and they were set apart in the rear."
Mr. Editor, this statement is a little more critical than the one Mr. Sunday preached to the Negroes on Sunday morning, January 15th and 22nd. On these dates the Tabernacle was crowded by members of the race, save ushers, few white ministers and newspaper men. There are no such singers as the Silver Hill Jubilee Singers. There are Jubilee Singers made up of various churches of the city under the leadership of Dr. H. C. Hardy.
At several of the services for the white people these singers consisting of a hundred and more occupied the regular choir seats and rendered the music for the several services.
Rev. Sunday preached his farewell sermon to the colored people Sunday morning. February 12th, the Tabernaime was opened with our presentation. The entire collection on January 15th was given to Jonkins' Orphanage; January 22nd went to Provident Hospital. John Nina Hospital and Y. M. C. A. (colored).
So you see they treated us a little better down here than they did you people in Baltimore.

Former Maryland Boy Would Have Voters Attend To Representatives Blakency And Hill To Die For It
Every colored Marylander, who is able to cast his vote at the coming election should use discretion in voting only for those men who have exerted their efforts to influence the Constitution of these United States by being present at the sessions and voting his approval for the Dyer Anti-Lyche-Black Bloody Bill, of which deserves the vote of all Maryland men in both houses. Their voting for this needy measure will justify cause for our supporting such men in the coming elections.
In Remembering Richard Allen,
His Contemporaries Should Not
Be Forgotten, Declares Rev. Dr.
Bragg
To the Editor:—
Richard Albon was a great man, and performed a great work, yet it is singular that in praising him we are both to forget many of his contemporaries whose good work is equally deserving of all praise.
As far as Richard Albon is concerned, he was a master of colored Methodists, in St. George's 'white Methodist Church, was answered by the 'Bathedral Church' which Albon set up, and had the white Bishop of these same Methodists, who had insulted his people, to delicately, years, he, and his church, were under the direction of these same Methodists.
But the African group, itself, with which Allen had been connected, answered the "innuit" in an entirely different manner. Following the "innuit" they went out and organized themselves into the Free African Society. Later they earned the society the "African thrush." They raised money and built an office. They then held a meeting of the society to determine with which of the religious bodies they would identify their church. At that meeting it was decided. Richard Allen and Absolon Jones, the two leaders, were the only ones who favored uniting with the Methodists. Aside from these two men, the whole society, because of the nature of their methodists, voted to unite with the Episcopal Church. Not, however, without intelligent forethought. And it is just here where the body of African people, the liaison of that day vindicate the superiority of their Manhood. Here we have the first instance of "Collective bargaining" on the part of the members of the African race. Their vote to unite with the Episcopal church had three affirms: the theology, the faith, and the should be received as a body; the second, that they should have guaranteed to them forever, heal self-control of their own affairs, and hardy, that one of their own number; if found fit, should be regularly ordained as their immediate Pastor. The Episcopal Church accepted the conditions, and this band of the Methodists became the first Negro congregation of the Episcopalians. The very beginning of Negro Episcopal churches.
Certainly, those early people on our own group are worthy of praise for what they accomplished for the race. I would not detract one iot of praise from Allen, but I submit that when the whole story is known, others justly come into their share of commendation.

The Crispus Attacks Call To Colored
Americans
Fellow Americans of Color:
Last year the National Equal
Rights League began the effort for
a countrywide observance of the
death of Crispus Attacks as a National
Colored American Day, a day for liberty for public obeyance.
We now renew the effort.
The United States of America
game into being not as a piece of
adventure nor by war of conquest
but by sacrifice and the spilling of
human blood for the sacred principle
of liberty in government because all men are born equal." The
malleable rights of men were
writ down in defense of rebellion
and revolution.
Also then the glory to the ciment
was fulfilled the first blood,
and the claim to equal liberty of
the race who gave the first morty
of the fight!
The honor of producing the proto-narrative for this Republic, belongs solely to us. Anglo-Saxonism says that "Blood is the blood of Liberty." Since we produced the first marry and we alone have the power to demand equalness, held in contempt by Americans of lighter hue, the call comes, in pride of race, to publicly observe the death of Crispus Attucks, who fell facing British soldiers leading a band of white men, on State street. Boston, March 5, 1770, sealing our American birth. By that first blood we retained foundation title to all of liberty and rights. We need to tell our rising generation of this ground title to citizenship to assure the middle-azed. We need universally to celebrate this date that we may cause our white fellow-Americans to realize our real original Americanism and our claim to every right.

"FINDING A WAY OUT"
An autobiography by Robert Russia Moton published by Doublepage, Page and Company. Price $2.50-postage ten cents extra. The writing of autobiographies by principals of colored schools has become a habit. It was started by the author as an "Up From Slavery", and so brilliant a biography as that with its world wide appeal made it difficult for Edwards, Holzelaw and other to follow after him. Dr. Moton's biography includes an essay in sundial and a essay as used in Washington's footsteps. Moreover his life's lack incident.
```markdown
```
The most dramatic part of his autobiography is before the hero is born. The tale of his forebear, his great-great-great grandfather, a chief caught and carried away in a slave ship, the wonderful physical power of other of his grandparents, his paternal grandmother living to be 108, the dramatic face of an overseeer, father's fight with a civil beginning to the autobiography. Those of us who remember Major Moton in his uniform at Hampton wonder why he backed so in personal vanity as not to have his photograph as a frontsicle, so much does he look like the descendant of a obliefain. But the book is without illustration and Robert Rosa enters upon the stage with little boyfriend, boyhood of the great house, teaching, a short cable of policies, then Hampton and Tuskegee. A pleasant story well told with that most blessed gift reserved for man humor.
```markdown
```
There is one delightful anecdote that I cannot refrain from repeating. Before graduating from Hampton, Moton turned his hand to school teaching and was appointed principal of a Virginia school with 150 pupils. Associated with him was an older man named Hembricks who believed in corporal punishment for all offices. He and Hembricks met Moton demanding that matters of discipline be left to him, and Hembricks declaring that he would take the matter to the school board. Fearing this move, Moton talked the whole thing over with his hailady's husband, a man who could neither read nor write but who had much native common sense. Instead of making an issue, he got all the people happy on his possession wine (or was that something more in it?), and Moton make a fine political speech, saw that Hembricks made a less favorable one, talked of the colored people settling their own disputes, and ended by having Hembricks apologize to Moton the next day and cease his corporal punishment, one feels that the two school boys were in the precision but two and two in the precision but two and lost something of that five wisdom of dealing with men that belonged to the unaltered husband of Moton's landlord.
*******
It is us a leader of a group of colored people and as an honored advisor of many of the philanthropists of the white race that Dr. Moton occupies an important place. And that last chapter of his book, "Forward Movement for the South," shows us how Way out that possible route is most possible time. Here he describes the work of The Conference for Education in the South. The General Education Board. The Southern Sociological Congress The University trace Commission and the most recent interracial Committees. By bringing together the best people of both races Dr. Moton feels the race problem will become less acute. He has no royal punace to peace and to the care of co-operation the chief in his present advice to Neptune in the South.
..
There is a phenomenon known to sociologists as the "Huson of the New" that is that when a thing is very close to us it looms much larger than it is. I think the facts of history, and the history that we are making, show that the philanthropies that care from this getting to the effect of kindly helping to affect the whole mass of the Negroes very little that private education, no matter how admirable, will never take the place of compulsory public education, and that the dwelling too much on gifts makes the receiving of rights of the more precarious. But Hampton's training on the race question, and Dr. Moton is Hampton's son, hecks in accuracy what makes up the opinion of "Finding A Way Out" will win the approval of nearly all its white readers and many of its colored.

There are some American Negroes who have counted for more black than they ever would have, had they been white. This is emphatically true of Booker Washington whose ideals were essentially the ideals of the aggressive, Rooseveltian type, white man, and whose therefore heroic qualities for fame in representing these qualities in the Negro race. On question whether this is true with Dr. Morton. One feels in reading his life as though the high spirit of adventure, the robustness of spirit inherited from his chieftain forbear had been repressed. As though the white race, with its cruel and gross conceit, and that man who had been a slave, have been his had he been horn in America with a white skin, or had been left to develop his ability in his native land.

Marcus Garvey who developed a sat organization comes from the great honor here. His people say that he should have remained at home and worked. He was here few months ago with his famous band with his sword and his doctrines fell on deaf ears. He preached that the colored people owe allegiance neither to the American nor to the black republic.
Garvey was so sentiments in his expressions there that the American consul at Kingston refused to raise his passport, the politest pressure was brought to bear at Washington and he finally left. In this land of Long Island inhabitants there are overmounted colonies removed from slavery. Between them and a few thousand whites there is every graftation of color as a result of mixture with Europeans, so considered and accepted socially. They are highly intelligent and energetic, and but for the fact that they consider themselves superior to the blacks, which sometimes irritates the latter they would be the natural leaders. American industry is the chief one here and American medical work under the Rockefeller Foundation is the main occupation of the civilization and public health.

The delicate stomach is delayed and food sourns, causing the disagreeable symptoms which every stomach sufferer has.
Artificial digestives are not needed in such cases and may do real harm. Try laying eggs from any drugstore a few ounces of Biasedur Magnesium and take a teaspoonful in a quarter glass of water right after eating. Biasedur Magnesium also forms the formation of excess acid and there is no sourness, gaseous or pain. Biasedur Magnesium and its malt are harmless to the stomach, but malt is harmless to the stomach, inexpensive to take and is the most efficient form of magnesium for stomach purposes. You can enjoy their meals with more fear of indigestion.

COL. BOWIES EXPLAINS ATTITUDE ON USE OF FIFTH REG'NT ARMORY
Is Opposed To Mixed Athletic Meets, But Is Willing That Public Schools Have Annual Meet
There
There will be no colored entries at the annual Johns Hopkins games held in the Fifth Regiment Armory this year.
Colonel Washington Bowie, head of the Fifth, is the authority for this statement, and present Northern colleges who will send teams to the games February 25th, from being embarrassed, a type-written slip was attached to their invitations announcing that their teams could only be entered providing they brought no colored athletes with them.
To a representative of the AFRO-AMERICAN, Colonel Bowie said that last year, athletic clubs from Pennsylvania came down to the games with two or more colored members on their teams. Speakers, especially women, objected, and for this reason, he decided to ban all colored entries this year.
"Personally," he added, "I am opposed to mixed athletics, and for that reason have taken steps to see that there will be no disturbance at the Hopkins games." Colonel Bowie, however, gave the AFRO-AMERICAN the assurance that he did not oppose the holding of the annual indoor colored pubs, and that he would be willing to have it used for that purpose on any date not already engaged.

EARL FAILS TO WIN 4TH CHAMPIONSHIP
Runs Second In Two-Mile Race At A. A. U. Championships In Buffalo
Buffalo, N. Y., Feb. 16.—After beating John Romig, white of Penn State, in the special three mile race by four yards in the Melrose A. A. Games at Madison Square Gardens, New York, last Wednesday in the fast time of fourteen minutes, twenty-seven seconds. Earl Johnson faced the white runner in the national A. A. U. Championships here last Saturday night.
The distance was two miles and Romig got sweet revenge by leading hard to the tape. The time was nine minutes, twenty-one and one-half seconds. E. O. McLane, of University of Pennsylvania, was third and Bramwell French was fourth.
Since leaving Baltimore two weeks ago, Earl Johnson won the three mile races in the Melrose games and in the Boston Athletic games. He is already the national champion of five and ten miles and in the cross country run. His effort last Saturday was to annex a fourth championship.
His best time hereofore in a two-mile race was nine minutes, thirty-seconds. Had he won last sixteen seconds, he would have been only one man in America holding four A. A. U. championships. As it is, he leads the list with three.
A. A. U. Champions Named
James E. Sullivan, white, secretary of the champion Athletic Union, issued the names of the American champion track team, the List includes Earl Johnson, of the Edgar Thompson Steel Works, Pitlingburg, Pa., as five and ten mile and cross country champion and E. O. Gourdin, Harvard ord bradjumper and Teniont winner. These represent the only two colored men on the team.
Next Race February 22nd
Earl has accepted the invitation of the New York Post A. A. to compete in a special two-mile race the annual memorial games of the F. O. A. A. to be held in the 6th Regiment Armory on February 22.

unable to comply with your request
for permission to use the Fifth

Embryo Teachers Take Lead In First Half, But Are Outclassed In Second Stanza
What at first looked like an air-tight game between the fives of the Training School and the "Y" later turned out to be real "ple" for the latter at their "gym" last Saturday night before a small but loud crowd.
The teachers started out by putting a sterling article of basketball which kept the "Y" on the defensive during the greater part of the first session. Cooper for the "Teachers" was the bright light of this half, scoring half of his team's three points, making four out of six attempts at free throws and one excellent basket from mid-floor. In this half Baker for the "Y" also did some good work, scoring three fours and one field goal.
In the second period the "Y" came back with an avalanche of goals that completely smothered their opponents. Baker caging less than six goals in this act, while MacBeth was fed the sphere for four more. Jackson played a cool and heady game for the teachers, and Shields did well for the "Y". Final score, 39-16.

I will be glad to give the matter prompt attention.
Very respectfully,

The Adjutant General
Richmond Armory Too Small
Richmond Market Armory would not only be too small to accommodate the crowds that would want to see a public school indoor meet, but this armory only permits a fifty yard straightway, while a 220 yard straightway can be run in Fifth Regiment Armory. Immediately on receipt of General Reckord's letter, the APRO-AMERICAN wrote asking the Adjutant General to give the public schools a date either in May. The armory has already been turned over to the white schools for use on April 1st. If General Reckord is sincere in his desire to do the square thing by the colored school children of Baltimore he will find a date somewhere in March. April or May upon which to let them have the use of the armory.
"Y" Sasses Tri Mus
The next victims of the "Y" Big Five will be the Tri Muse, of Baltimore. This team recently issued a challenge to the "Y" by means of the APRO sporting page. A team of championship material never has to boast of its ability, and then not measure its strength of the Big Five can be seen the scores it has beaten in its opponents by. The Y, M, C, A, has made nearly all the good basketball players in town, and in their "gym" is still producing championship teams. To prove the above, the Tri Mus (the roughest team in the city) will be met Saturday night. This game doesn't worry the "Big Five" because it offers game for the harder contest of Saturday, February 25th, when Armstrong High School of Washington will be not.

When the senior boys reorganized they decided to back up the already existing younger boys' club with "all of their might" to keep the fire of enthusiasm so hot for the junior boys that club life at Waters would really be worth "entering into."

ATHENIANS BOW TO LINCOLN UNIV SCORE:42 TO 41
In Hardest And Fastest Game Of The Season Locals Are Downed By One Point
WHEATLAND, BROWN, STARS
Lincoln Star Centre Scores 22 Points, While Brown Makes Seven Field Goals For Locals
Have you ever been to a movie show where the villian continually bobs up to molest the hero and heroine and you wait every minute for the hero to draw his trusty gun or for some other miraculous indulgence, and it seemed that just as he is about to be "knocked off" he springs a new bit of "mea suff" and escapes unharmed, and you go out mad at the guy who wrote such a play? Then if you have, you can get an idea of the feelings of the local rooters at the game between the Athenian Blue and Gray at Richmond Market Armory Monday night.
The score at the end of the first half, 16-17, and the final score, 42-41 are excellent indications of the closeness of play, but it is hard to tell of the enthusiasm and that honest-to-goodness, rooting and "pulling" that was done by the adherents of both teams. One of the reasons for the absence of bad feeling between the teams and the determination of the umpires to see that both sides were given a fair chance.
The game had hardly proceeded five minutes when the Lincolnites had run their score up 19 points while the Athenians seemed to be unable to make a tally. Much of this was due to repeated foiling by the locals and the unering aim of Wheatland who shot not less than 14 fouls out of 18 chances. A rapid succession of wonderful dribbles and elusive passing enable the locals to give Brown the ball for a high-jumping basket, which seemed to be the signal for the locals to cut loose, and when the dust of the fray had cleared they were on the long end of the score by one point 16. In this half Pole distributed five out of eight attempts at the foul line and Brown three field goals.
The closing half of the game was a hair raise; full of sizzling physics, rapid-fire passing, and accurate shooting, with the Lincoln having the edge on shooting by a slight margin. The game was so tight in fact that it was almost fatal for either side to lose the ball, for it meant a sure score for their opponent, Harris, who went in for Wright on the Athenians' side, put two in for his team, and Brown on his excellent work of the first half by four snappy baskets, while Poles accounted for four more free throws. Rich played his first full game at the central station and acquitted himself admir-

The work of Hamer and Tompkins, both of whom are Baltimore men, was of the highest class and indicates that these two boys will likely be retained on the big team for years to come. Skinka, who formerly played with the Baltimore live, was out of the line-up, but Woods, who took his place, made an enviable reputation both by his speed and accuracy running up a total of 14 points on field goals. McClellan, whose small statue was a slight handicap to him at guard, was nevertheless continually on his man and seldom made an error.

Proves Too Fast For "Gilsononites"
And Trail Their Colors In
Dust 33 to 15
In one of the hardest-fought
games witnessed on the local courts
this season, the team backfield team of
Armstrong, with School of Wash-
ington, defeated the basket-
ers of the local High School at the
"Y" gym last Friday afternoon,
33 to 15.
The game was replete with thrills
from start to finish, and the dif-
ference in the score does not by
any means tell the story of the
struggle. It was explicated by
the sound of the crowd, that the
locals could have a hard road to
for, for the visitors showed in
their very first gestures that they
were out to take home the lacron.
The "Gibsonites", nothing daunted, took to the fray with equal courage, and contested every inch of the way like real bull-dogs, and though they were defeated they were by no means disfigured, the visitors added to their favor, which could be entirely overlooked even among the big cagers, when all is said and done, namely, weight. This is not said in an attempt to belittle or minimize the skill that the visitors showed in passing and shooting, although they showed more brilliance in the former than the latter.
The stellar lights of the game were Turner and army for Armstrong, who won 7-6 fielded 6-13 strong, shot 7 and 5 field goals effectively, and Brown and Steenford for High, the former for 5 foul goals out of eight tries, and the latter for his aggressive guarding. There were a goodly number of spectators on hand, but not nearly as many as had been expected.

Last Tuesday evening the young women's swimming class under the supervision of Mr. Allen Watty, athletic director of the Drudid Hill Avenue Y. M. C. A. gave one of the most interesting and skillful swimming exhibitions at the "T" pool, ever witnessed among amateur. The various demonstrations given were as follows: Mine, Mabel King, swimming under water, sculling or swimming feet, foremost, by Marie Springs, crawl-stroke, speed swimming, or walking in zebrach Anthony, riding speed swimming, Félix Murphy, diving side-stroke swimming, Miss Constance Murphy, back diving crawl-stroke, under water swimming, Miss Vondaler Mayo, trailing-stroke, diving Miss Charlotte Tarrott juvenile in the art of swimming, having had only four lessons pleased the audience with her diving stunts.
Among the gentler sex, Madam King is rated the best all-around performer, and to Miss Springs goes the honor of being the fastest swimmer. Following the above exercises, the swimmers gave the onlookers an entertaining daughter in the water. Proceeding the swimming there was a most enjoyable exhibition of "gym" work given by grade school girls under the direction of Miss S. Louise Parrott. No preparation had been made for an exhibition, and Miss Parrott conducted her class as she does on each Tuesday at the "Y." The "Y" girls displayed wonderful ability in marching tactics at the end of which a Y was formed for dances were also given, and we hope the public saw what benefits are derived from healthy exercises and play.

and the stormy result of them, the triggering piece of treachery at the dance, and this final bit of anxiety, in which she could meet the street and call him back if nothing had happened, and in the very presence of the man for whom she sheared, in disguise he wondered what he she was telling Penner now, to account for her hypersisy.
His first evening with Laura phone in contrast. He had been gifted out of himself, inspired, strengthened. He looked down at her upurned, trusting face, and in his imagination, trusting beatrix looked beside her. It was the idea of a real girl like Laura envying a girl like Beatrix that grated on him, and in his disgust he cut her praise short.
"But why shouldn't I envy her, Virgin?" said Laura. "What all of us wouldn't envy Beatrix?" All of us
"I don't mind the rest of them doing it," he said, not, realizing that his tone and words were ruthless, but not out. "don't mind to see you doing it." Laura did not ask him why. She only turned her face away, lest he see too much. They were in silence glib, insisted Laura's parents be forth again. "The idea of a girl like you crying anybody like her." "Of course," she said meekly, "if you don't think I ought to. I

stammering apologies, then the whole story of his night's misdeeds suddenly poured out, with all the reasoning that had led to them. He did not mention Beatrix or any woman, nor did he need to. But he did not spare himself. When he had finished Laura took his hand. He laid her hands on his chest and looked up at him pleadingly. Oh, Virgin, promise me you'll go back to your work, it's the only thing for you. You're too good to get cheap and trashy, there's too much worth in you. Be a man, be a man! "Yes," he stammered, his hands to his breast, her Laura, I will.
They stood thus for a moment, then: "No, Virgin, no you must not try to kiss me. He could have kissed her, he would have kissed any other girl, but to kiss Laura she would be a deserter to kiss Laura then. He tore himself away and rushed down the steps.
"Good night, Laura."
"Good night, Virgin, good night. Come on, see me."
The evening when the streets were covered with three inches of slush, the Virgin was called to the telephone just as he had started studying.

sourcing paste may be made by mixing household ammonia and hydrazine in a thick paste, which is suitable for polishing aluminum, zinc and other metal kitchen utensils.

With the kiddies in school the question comes up, "What can I give them for their lunch or keep on hand for them after school when they rush in for a "bite of sweetish good"?" The cake. And the best part of it is that cake can be used for desserts at all times.
If you have one good cake recipe as a foundation it can be varied with satisfactory results. For instance, one cup sugar and a handful of a pale red wite, a half level teaspoonful of baking powder and a teaspoonful of salt: Break two eggs in a cup, fill cup with milk and add to dry ingredients five tablespoonful of melted butter. Beat all together with a rotary egg. The result is a smaller rather thin butter cake that smokes delicious layer or patty cakes. This may be varied by adding a little ginger, cinnamon and allspice or cloves and baking in small cup cakes. Serve with whipped cream if desired for a dessert.
The butter dessert from some foundation is to split the cakes and serve with boiled custard.
BREAKFAST — Apple sauce,
cereal and cream, poached eggs

BREAD — Stewed lima bea-

THE AFRO-AMERICAN
Club Sandwiches
This sandwich is made of three good-sized slices of toasted bread, one or more being spread thickly
with cottage cheese. Letters or water cress and salad dressings also used. The rest of the filling may be varied to the taste or the larder. The sandwich is cut diagonally across and served on a plate with the halves arranged in diamond shape. It is desirable to toast the bread on one side only, and to cut it immediately after toasting, otherwise the pressure of cutting crusts out the cheese and spoils the appearance of the sandwich. The cut slices may be sliced together again and the sandwich is being through with a sharp knife.
Variations: In additions to the cottage cheese, these club sand-

How many people are all right, until they open their mouths—and then are all wrong?
I mean that in several senses. In the first place when people open their mouths, they show their teeth—unless they are careful. And to one set of teeth that add to the appearance, I suppose there are as many as 100 of course this is going to be less so in the future than it was in the past. With dental hygiene in the schools, greatly improved methods of dentistry and an awakened public conscience in regard to it, good teeth for life are as well as beauty. Generation can not help having better teeth than one present.
Unpleasant Social Offenses
Are ways in which people sometimes, or rarely, open their months well. I hesitate how to express it deliberately and that ought to let you know what I mean. There are few social offenses more antagonizing and more excessive than a bad breath attack. Bad breath is a danger signal to its host that there is something wrong with him. It may be his teeth, or it may be his stomach, but whatever it is it should looked after better. It is the sake of keeping his voice calmly terms with his friends. Of course, a person sometimes don't know that he is offending in this direction. It isn't exactly a thing you care to call a tention to, but surely there must be people in his family who have given enough to perform the disgraceful duty.
The third way in which persons spell themselves when they open their mouths is by their voices. Haven't you seen a thoroughly pretty girl somewhere and been delighted with her prettiness until she opened her mouth and came a voice that spelled out the whole effect. Perhaps it was nasal, perhaps it was sharp and high-matched, perhaps it had that roughness that seems to go with lack of education and breeding. And weren't you reminded of the peacekeeper and relatively way he has been beauty of plumage and匀ness of voice? The peacekeeper is excusable and some of the voices we are not.

After the twelfth week the baby should gain on an average of four ounces a week.
The loss of a pound or two of weight makes very little difference to the adult, but it is a serious matter for a young baby. A pound makes ten or fifteen pounds does to the adult, for it is ten per cent or more of his total body weight.
If a baby fails to gain weight for several weeks, or loses a pound or two, it becomes noticeable for the average year in weight for the first year is so small that it cannot be detected without weighing.
When a baby fails to gain the required number of ounces for every week of milk, it there is something wrong with him or the food. Whatever it is, it should be remedied at once.

Of Afro's "Better Baby" seetative"
It is very much easier to keep a young baby well and gaining steadily, than it is to have him regain lost weight, or to get him well again once he has become ill. For these reasons a mother should weigh the young baby every week until he is nine months old, and after that at least every two weeks until he is one year old. From infancy until he enters school the child should be weighed at least
The average baby weighs a little over seven pounds at birth. He doubles his weight at six, weighing an ordinance fourteen pounds, and doubles his rapid growth that a baby must have the right kind of food and spend most of his time sleeping. The following table of weights shows the average baby. A baby may weigh more or less and still be entirely normal.

COLORED SHOW AT
BROADWAY CABARET
New Yorkers Will Pay $2.00 Each To Launch And Gather Earnings' Entertainment
The old Polies Bergere has been transformed into what Messes Selwon and Leslie have designated as "The Island Plantation Room." The premiere in the Winter Garden have included scenic investiture that includes typical Mississippi steamboat landing with a cotton-field background. The third effect being an elaboration of watermelon, both cut, and on the vine.
Russell Robinson and Roy Turk are credited with the material and Percy Bradford with some of the music in creating the entertainment which will be entirely colored by artists. The Strut Payne Quartette, Edith Wilson and her Jazz Band.
Chappelle and Stinette, with Florence Mills and Kid Thompson in the "shuffle Along" show, and Maggie George, the dancers will be the featured performers. The bromm will direct an orchestra of twelve pieces.
The opening is scheduled for February 14th. Patronage will be handled on the membership basis. A cover charge of two dollars will prevail. The bill of fare will conform to the style of entertainment offered. Waffles and other Southern dishes are announced as special features.
The Negro problem in the United States is usually considered in one of three aspects. First, as a labor question—His competition with the whites is resented for the old reason that his scale of living is lower. Second, as a political question—the injection of a mass of ex-slaves into the voting population brought its inevitable confusion. Third, as a social problem—the Negro cannot be argued or legislated out of his status as a human being, and as such he has to get along in some way with white human beings.
There is another aspect of the Negro question, however, which has been neglected, and that is the artistic and intellectual aspect. While the Negro is inferior to the White, Saxon in the remainder and more practical activities of civilization there are certain regions of sentiment where he is superior.
melodies. They are the products of pure and vigorous imagination, and they are out of series of four samples of Negro Folk Songs, where there is presented to us in a stirring way the musical genius of the Negro. The black man produced his music as all true music is produced, as a by-product of his work, his play, and his passion. He is primarily the creator of the work song. The amphibians referred to in this sample are examples. For example the "beautiful bikin' Song," which grew out of time when the slaves of all ages gathered around the open bouncer and picked the harvested peanuts from their stems. "I can fill this basket if I choose, Den Masa gwine give me Christ-mus shoes. Two red harbourchifs on a walkin' cane. Den Masa gwine strut down de Big Horn trees."
There was the "Hammering Song," which comes from the mines of Virginia, where the workmen chanted a simple refrain and were led by a "header," or "caller," who received extra pay for his improvisation. In these there is the "Chick harlin," used by workers on the railroads, imitating the puffing of locomotives; "Liza Jane," one of the many songs improved for dances; The "Cotton Pickin' Song," and others.
"And no mention has been made of the largest field of all, which is that of spiritual songs and religious melodies. By the puffing of the歌词, the music unconsciously musks thoughtly. To the white man music is a luxury. To the Negro it is life itself.

S. H. Dudley Willing To Put Out $90,000 If Fairs Will Co.
operate
Two very tangible results have already resulted from the effort of the Billboard and the Afro-American to persuade colored Fair officials that an organization among them would personally advance the cause they represent.
Notwithstanding the fact that there are more than fifty, in all probability, close to a hundred colored fairs in the United States: less than a dozen have responded to the call for a meeting that would enable them to give better fairs, save money, obtain greater publicity and attract more exhibits.
When the recent survey disclosed that one of the conditions that handicapped the progress of these association lay in the inability to obtain lithographs (that Negro types; single handed we took the matter up with show print people. Here is the result.
Newport, Ky., Nov. 18, 1921
Mr. J. A. Jackson,
The Billboard,
New York City
Dear Sir: Your vaulted favor is at hand and in reply beg to advise we have decided to get out a couple styles of colored fair billing as an experiment, and if they prove satisfactory, we will of course increase the line. Up until the last few years there has not been sufficient business to justify the expenditure, but we believe the colored fairs are now established and we will take this up.
If you will write us as the first of the year, we will be pleased to send you samples of the finished lithographs.
Here is a very satisfactory answer to the complaint heard from every fair official interviewed, that "what we need is colored pictures in our advertising". Show your appreciation to the house that ventures to make this big initial expense in your interest. Prove to them that you approve of progressive business practices. It was the pleasure of the Page to accompany Mr. H. H. H. H. He the meeting of the Theatre Owners Booking Association at Chattanooga, Teen Encourage many subjects of race interest were discussed, among them being the colored fairs, a subject with which he is quite familiar, due to the fact that his recreation is horse racing. He owns several very good animals and takes them each year to the fairs in the vicinity of Washington, D. C. Mr. Diddy has at times owned several attractions and thru his booking with many different types of outfits and attractions than is known to most of us.
The not results of the discussion is that Mr. Dudley announced that if any sort of organization was affected inung fair officials or if any number of them wouj arrange to concert their date, booking so that they would be finance, equip and put out a COLORED CARNIVAL CIRCUS, with not less than ten cars, two or more rides, more than six shows and at least thirty concessions and two free acts, presenting every variety of performance with Negro artists.
If he can secure fair dates to keep the attraction engaged from August different dates, he can keep the attraction open and on the road by July first to play open dates $150 fair time. He estimates that $30,000 and 550 people will be required to make the sort of show he has in mind.
The writer has made good. Here is the man willing to produce the show you said you wanted; and here is the paper you told us was needed. If you meant it and want to improve your Fairs, let her from you. Get busy for the writer can't help you. If you won't help yourself.

NOISY MODERN JAZZ HAD FOUNDATION IN NEGRO SPIRITUAL
BY NOAH D. THOMPSON
Los. Angeles, Cal., Feb. 8.—"Jazz music, as we know it today, will not die, but will survive in another guise," states J. Ross曼德 Johnson, colored singer and composer now at the Orpheum.
"Jazz" says Johnson, "is the evolution of plantation music. At first the Negro, when brought to America as a slave, had no idea of music." He was a happy and contented character, but he knew only of God and the devil with a big "D." So he sang of these and thus we have what is known as the spirituals. Then came love into his soul. He sang of "Jazz" and his Manly and he what is known as "cow songs" in days past.
"Latter, a free man, he earned money. He spent much of it on clothes and became the dandy and the dude. Coon songs became ragtime, which later became syncopation. Then unrest took hold with the grove and the syncopation, which is nothing more or less than several rhythms played as one. Instead of one melody, readily distinguishable, jazz, when properly played, is several different rhythms played by several groups of instruments at the same time. It is founded by some basic奏曲, using our symphonies and big overtures.
"In fact," continued the jazz artist, "I know of many cases where jazz has aided in the appreciation of the works of our great music masters, for the ear trained to follow the several rhythms of jazz has appreciated fully the numerous works of jazz, which have made the great symphonies and works of art what they are."
Johnson and his quintet of jazz artists are appreciated by every class of American music lovers. Particularly is this true of the Indians whose blood relatives in Cauguinwaga, Canada, through Chief Clear Sky of the browni tribe, made Johnson a sub-chief of the tribe, giving him the name of Red Star. A ceremony at Cauguinwaga invited the tribe which was done as a token of the Indians' appreciation of Johnson's composition of several Indian songs, one of which he sings when Indians are in attendance at the performance.

"AFRICANUS" MAKES BIG'HIT
Play From Pen of Mrs. Eloise Bibbs Thompson Aby Present- By Momolt Players
Los Angeles, Cal. Feb. 16—If events can their shadows before, then the dramatic critics and producers who, six years ago, read Eloise Eibb Thompson's great historical scenario, "The Reply to Griffith's Chausman" are not surprised at the excellence of her latest feature "Magnificence" but made a hit when produced by all colored players here.
"The Reply," a strong historical drama full of romance and adventure, was purchased by Thomas H. Ice for $500 at the time when he was manager of the New York Motion Picture Company, he released it back to the author, at her request, some three years ago. This scenario was considered a master piece not only by Messrs. Ice, Reed and Griffith, but by such dramatic critics as Monroe Lathrop and Henry Christen Warnack, who regard it as a proverb in a report, but as good drama and a great box-office attraction.
A later play, whose scene was laid in New Orleans, and embodying a story replete with color, romance and during, so captivated that he was called Cadman that he was eager to set it to music as an opera. He submitted it to two distinguished librettists, first to Mrs. Eberhart and later to Mrs. Alice Pollock, however, were working upon libretto one that he was unable to accommodate Mr. Cadman at that time.

NO PEPPER IN HOUSE STARTED TROUBLE: CASE ENDS IN COURT
Mrs. Lilly Cornish Then Charged Hubby With Non Support And Other Things
"Judge your Honor, it all started when he was eating supper and he asked me to give him some pepper, and I told him there was no pepper. He got mad an choked me and threatened to hit me but I told him I would send him to his master if he hit me. He accuses me of other men and everything. "He does all the buying, never gives me a cent. I have to wash and iron in order to keep him looking nice and a plenty to eat. All he buys for me to eat is chops and salt pork, bread, butter and coffee and Judge you know if your stomach's weak you can't eat that stuff all the time." "This was the way M. Lilly Corrillatt, a soldier of to Magistrate Battalion at the Northeastern Police Court Tuesday. She ended by saying, "He's no man." "What do you mean, he's no man," asked the Magistrate.
"Well he's no man, that's all."
This convulsed the court with laughter. She has never yet explained what she meant.
"Well what have you to say Dennis?" asked the Magistrate.
"Well Judge I only make a 15 week bounty if I am 15 years old, my societies are $1.90 a week and time I buy a few groceries and other little bills I not got nothin' left. I spends all my money in the home and am doing all I can, Judge, but this woman ain't satisfied with nothin' I do.
"No, judge," chined in Mrs. Lilly, the foiled me into marryin' him, the bad loses $100 of money and everything!
"No Judge, this woman worried me to death about marryin' her; just cried and carried on, she thought I had money and when she found out I didn't she got contrary. Had I known she was this tough I wouldn't a married her. I didn't want to, how did you find me, but you stood up here and told such an untruth.
"At this remark Mrs. Lilly began firing back at Dennis, things he had done and said which made the court rour.
Magistrate Rohleder brought the court to order and told Dennis, he believed he was doing his best but try and give her 50 or 75 cents a week to go to the movies and the case was dismissed.
Uses Stool Pigeons
James "Chick" Truitt, charged with impersonating a revenue officer, who was arrested last Saturday, was found not guilty by commissioner Supplee, of the United States Court Tuesday. A colored "stool pigeon" was used by the local forceogovernment. He was carrying a suitcase filled with bricks and acting suspicious. For several hours the "stool pigeon" lugged the suitcase around after Truitt, until they got on to Pennsylvania avenue, where Truitt stopped the man and asked him if he had whiskey, but before he got a chance to flash his badge the officers rushed him and placed him under arrest. Roy S. Bond, counsel for Truitt, that any man could have a badge the officers are being made and sold and did not use it unlawfully. The "stool pigeon" acknowledged that Truitt did not show any badge.

CITY SHOULD AID PROVIDENT HOSPITAL
Mayor Broening Gives Interview On Crowded Conditions In Hospitals
Referring to a letter in the Afro last week asserting that colored people are turned away from city hospitals, Mayor Broening told an Afro reporter that he knew of the difficulty colored people were having but it became happen after the time the patient had filled the institutions were filled. "We have a number of complaints from the white people who have the same trouble," the Mayor said. "We have no control over any of the institution except the city Hospital and because it is a charitable institution most people refuse to go there until they are in any other. But in case anyone is turned down at the City Hospital, all one has to do is get in touch with the superintendent or myself and provision will be made. The city is now planning to build a maternity hospital in order to relieve present conditions." Provident Hospital, I feel sure that some appropriation should be made for.
It is doing a good work and I see no reason why a small allowance could not be made for it.
"I am always glad to hear of such cases and will try to remedy the situation at all times."
White Soldiers Too Drunk
Mary Fordfield, Eleanor Perkins, Sylvester Floyd and a man known as Sweet Soap who were charged with robbing a white soldier of Camp Meade, of $150, in their home on High street Saturday night were dismissed by Justice Stanford of the Central Police Commission. In cross examining the soldier, J. Stewart Davis, brought the fact that the man was drunk and did not know where his money went. The girls admitted that he gave them $15 and bought a quart of whiskey, but denied that they had robbed him. Mattie Underwood, of High St., was also dismissed through her attorney, S. Bailyson, the charge of being a white sergeant of Camp Holabird, of $47. This man was also too drunk to know what happened.

"I would have included Rev. Frederick Douglass in the list also" Mrs. Williams said, "but he is a Methodist minister, and hasn't so much. If he were a Baptist, I would have sued him along with the others, because Epiphany ministers always have something. I ministers to recover full damnations." Mrs. Williams added, but I do expect to make them stop nagging at me and to pay the costs of the case."

The other day an agent of the People's Mutual Benefit Insurance Company, (white) called up a woman at a North Baltimore home, where she is occasionally employed, in reference to her insurance. She informed him that she transacted no business in the place where she worked, and told her to call at her home.
A letter from the company followed, addressed to the woman at her employer's home and above in the corner "Colored Help".
Now the company has lost an indignant policy holder. Many colored people are said to carry insurance in this company, the headquarters of which are in Washing-

Appeal To Churches, Says Secretary, Has So Far Brought Little Response
135 AIDED LAST MONTH
Homeless Or Stranded Men Continually Applying For Board And Lodging
Unless the community is willing to aid the large number of stranded and unemployed men in the city, the Y. M. C. A. will be forced to give up its rescue work, executive secretary, S. S. Booker, declared this week.
According to Mr. Booker, 125 men were given free boarding and lodging and otherwise aided at the Y. M. C. A. during the past month. Some of the men were given a meal, some lodging for a week, and others given their car fare to distant cities. The police stations, the churches and the organizations downtown are sending needy men everyday to the """.
Many of these men, Mr. Booker asserted, are worthy cases, but the Y. M. C. A. has no funds for rescue work. Seeing that we had the facilities our funds, we made an appeal to the churches, but so far only two, Grace Presbyterian and Independent A. M. E. Churches, responded.
"The only source of income we have here is the return from membership and a few donations. We would like to continue the work of helping people who are in need, upkeep our facilities, to tackle the burden, our rescue work must be stopped for lack of funds."

Speculation in upper Northwest Baltimore property seems to have followed in the wake of the announcement that the city will locate the Colored High School on the old white Female House of Refuge site at Carey. and Baker Streets.
Some white property owners, long desirous of moving to the suburbs, are quietly offering to sell their homes to colored people.
A colored minister was offered four houses this week, but says the price was far too high.
Property speculators are looking to reap a harvest through making colored people pay fancy prices colored people pay fancy rentals or holding the titles to property

John Rich Says Trustees Have About $25,000 Already In Bank
Doctors and others looking forward to the location of Victory Hospital are planning to make a drive to secure about $400,000 unpaid subscriptions to the $80,000 pledged two years ago. About $23,000 will be spent at the Baltimore Trust Company according to John Rich, one of the new hospital's trustees; with interest added and counting sums in other banks, the total is around $25,000. The fact that the Union Protestant Infirmary has just the commencement of an $650,000 guildford to be completed in 1924 is heightening the interest in the bank.
To secure the unpaid subscriptions, the old buildings of the infirmary on Division Streets, will infirmary on Division Street between Mosher and McMechen Streets, will be taken over. The four-story hospital and other buildings will be let go for $50,000, regarded by many as a very low

Hailed As the Greatest of Dramatic Triumphs, Will Open At The Douglass Monday
The Lafayette Players will present the smashing dramatic hit of the past season, "The Silent Witness," by Otto Hauerbach. Beginning Monday and continuing throughout the week, "The Silent Witness" has enjoyed a successful season at the Lancaster Thea-
success as a *genuine melodrama*. It is a genuine melodrama in a prologue and three acts by Otto Kahn, who points with pride at this the first serious play he has written. Mr. Hauerbach has based the underlying motive of his story on a subject which strangely enough is similar to that of District Attorney Swan's pre-election form of New York. Belief tells a story of a boy who works his way through college against the handicaps of trying to compete in sons of rich men. One of these, Wilber Weldon, casts persions on the poor boys parentage, a fight ensues in which the poor boy defends his mother's name and young Weldon is killed. The poor boy is held for the murder. The manner in which the exonerated from censure and the ingenious Mr. Kahn brings the boy's father and mother together after years of separation caused by a misunderstanding, comprises the salient points in this very verile play. In appealing for help to save her boy from the law the mother is given splendid dramatic material in the development of the case all the members of the company will share than a good opportunity to show their histrionic ability.

Ed Hunter's Players, an assig- nation composed of a number of the most experienced and talented performers on any stage, are offering the stage entertainment at this year's Besides Hunter the players are: Babe Townsend, formerly of the Lay- terie players; Vvonne Robbins, well-known prima donna of several musical comedies of the past; Andrew Tribble who is also well- known for his splendid blackface female impersonations and a Alexander Lovejoy, to mention a few of the principals, while others whose titles are Nina Hunter, Maddeline Belt, A Curts, Nona Burke, Flurence Desmond, May Lavere, and Stella Adkins.
The sketch which serves as the framework for the various members of the company to show their ability is called "The Midnight House." And during his progress Hunter, who is the most capable comedians that one might encounter in many moons, keeps the house in a high state of hilarity by his persistent efforts to inform everybody in sight that he and his partner (Towdow) have just received thousands dollars, and that his is still holding out two thousand dollars of his share of the bank.
Equally as mith-provoking, was Tribleb's role as the maid and his cookie was a knockout. As a society matron Miss Robinson radiated charm and was beautifully costumed, and she likewise pleased with a vow to work which wooed Beltz, who was a Browns agent one could find in a day's travel, both contributed numbered numbers that were enforced. In fact the entire roster on the feminine side leans heavily on the side of beauty, and have been lavishly costumed with richly colored fabrics that enhance their loveliness As "Doctor Bunion" a chiropodist, but in reality a hooledger, Loylejoy also added to the fun-making her an encore. Nina Hunter and "Winning With Wits" featuring Barbura Beiford was the principal screen offering.

"Life And Character Of Frederick Douglass"
By ALMIRA MILLER
Colored High School, 107 N. Mount
St., Baltimore, Md.
Frederick Doughass was born in Torkham, Maryland. Doughass was in a sense without father or mother. His father was a white man. The last time he saw his mother, she had walked twelve miles to see him, and had brought him a ginger cake. His grandmother had charge of his childhood. She had Indian blood in her body. Doughass then had blood of three races. His boyhood days were spent in unspeakable cruelties. He "slapped on the bare floor even without a clanket. When seventeen years of age, he was hired by a man named

Corey, who was very mean to him.
At nineteen years of age, he took up his residence in Baltimore, and went to work in a shipyard.
He believed that women should have a mind in working and admiring the land.
He believed with all his heart that our destiny is here in America and he stood out strongly against emigration, either to Africa or elsewhere. He said that "the race can never be respected anywhere if it is respected in America. We fought with Washington to establish this nation. We fought with Grant to save it, and we shall stay here to enjoy and transmit it." Like Aristides, Dougherty was just like the beaux giants, like Pericles, he was cultured; like Webster, he was element. In himself he combined the elements, which characterized such heroes of human history.
SECOND PRIZE
"Douglass, The Great"
By E. LEWIS KELLY
Box B, Dannemore, N. Y.
Washington and Lincoln will always-be ranked before Frederick Douglass, because of racial lines. But the deeds which made Douglass a great philosopher and character—endowments found in such full measure only in a few men and at rare intervals. Douglass was a great diplomat and philosopher, and he letters rests upon his journalistic work; correspondence, and his unique autobiography. His
practical genius confined the elements of his literary manner to lucidity, simplicity and directness. Douglass, a slave at Tuekahoe, Maryland (1817), a fugitive at twenty-one, a recognized antislavery orator at twenty-four, a poet writer at twenty-eight, an editor and publisher at thirty, Marshal of the District of Columbia, Minister to Haiti, and Recorder of Boards, in later years. Douglass, the great his rise, developed by prejudice, declared chastity by the laws; denied the right to self-expression by the Constitution; his greatness today is the epitome of the Universe the standard of the cosmos. It surpasses the greatness of "The Learned Child of Lunceo," who could read at two, Lope de Yaga who mastered rhetoric and Latin at twelve, Greens, who accomplished mathematics and independent fiction, Essays and independent English, Elements of Twelve; Ignace Jan Perewski, who played intimate compositions from memory at eight.
Bocker Washington was great; Donglass was greater. Lincoln was wonderful; Donglass was prodigious. Roosevelt was storied; Donglass was savve, punctual, determined, Davis and Rhrett were superior; Donglass was transient, moral, world recognizes Donglass the Great, Boston *J. Mass.*) he dedicated a public square in his hometown: Rochester (N. Y.) houses of a huge monument to his memory. Thousands of business houses, schools, theaters and parks have adopted the name. Only the name of Donglass died February 2, 1855: his spirit and memory shall stand, loved, honored and respected forever.

Colored High School Papif
In February, 1817, the most remarkable man of Negro blood yet produced in the United States was born in Talbot County, Maryland. His mother was a slave and father a white man, thus making him a mutate or slave. He acquired a rudimentary equation of the early age in Baltimore. At the age of twenty-one, he ran away to New York, the theme to New Bedford, Mass., where he supported himself as a laborer. In 1811, he attended an antislavery meeting at Xanthenet and made a speech that brought him national notice. He traveled through the Northern States, making abolition speeches. He was the first person of his race to display such capability.

harged with conspiracy in John Brown's raids in 1852. Legal conditions were avoided by a second visit to England. Of this visit, Donglass later beautifully said, led from the tablums to the town of Canterbury to speak in the manne of his bishop lion." He was active in resisting Negro regiments in the South after the Civil War. He was minister at Haiti for three years, which was the last official position he filled. While residing in New Bedford, Donglass married a woman of his own色, by which he and four children, for four years, later he married a white woman.
Mr. Douglas was unquestionably America's greatest colored man and will go down in history as one of her actors. A prominent man who heard him speak on Lincoln, aid, I have heard Webster and Tay in their best moments, chilling and boistery in their highest inspiration. I never heard true despair than that of *O'Reilly*, who has been reckoned in his memory in a public square in Rockefeller, X, Y.
