Mr. Cohen held the office for a few weeks under a recess appointment, but was compelled to reaffirm it when the Senate in the recent special session of Congress failed to confirm his appointment. President Harding has reappointed him, and it is this appointment that is now before the Senate for consideration. Cohen, however, cannot take the position until his appointment has been confirmed in a regular session of Congress. If Mr. Cohen ever assumes the duties of Collector of customs in New Orleans, his will not be until well in next year. This was made certain yesterday when the Senate committee on commerce deferred consideration of the case until after the holidays. In the meantime the office continues in charge of Collector of Customs Kunz, white, while the Commissioner Ernst, white, while one of his deputies, to act as comptroller. The two Louisiana senators, Lansdell and Brussels, with Walter Dengeg, of New Orleans, appeared before the Senate committee on commerce yesterday, and opposed confirmation of Cohen's appointment. In addition to their verbal statements, they will form the formal process in writing, calling of Mr. Cohen came just before the recent elections and was a surprise to the country.

Tanner, now in Paris. The original is in the Walt Disney Collection in Philadelphia. Wilstach Collection in Philadelphia. The painting has become the center of a controversy as to whether the annunciation occurred in the Virgin Mary's home, or in the Temple. Mr. Tanner seems to bear the greater by his picture and by quoting the following from the Gospel: "And in the sixth month, the Angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a Virgin—and the Virgin's name was Mary. "Accordably going to her, he filled the chamber, when she was with a protégé light." "And when she saw him she was troubled, and the Angel said unto her: 'Fear not Mary; behold thou shalt bring forth a son and shalt call his name Jesus.'" HARRY O.

BANKER ET CLUB See The AFRO-AMERICAN'S CHRISTMAS OPPORTUNITIES BLIND MAN MADEWEALTHY BY OIL LANDS Destitute Before, Wright Rock of Louisiana Becomes Nean-Millionaire Over Night FATHER OF FIFTEEN Shreveport, La., Dec. 20.—Sitting in the darkness of night, for many years ago he lost the sight of both eyes Wright. Rock of Dato parish, 75 years old, on whose land oil was discovered recently, takes calmly the sudden change in his fortune which has elevated him to the ranks of the financially independent. "Unole Wright" is of the old school and hardly realizes that the two Rock wells in section 32-12-11 completed as large oil wells on his farm by A. J. Tarver, white, are bringing him daily more money than he ever hoped to make as a return from the truck of his little farm. He is the father of fifteen children, all but two of whom long ago left the "parental roof," his gossips they come back now, he said simply. When informed of his wealth upon completion of the first well, and asked what he was going to do with the money, the old man replied, "Well, I guess I'll just buy me a few clothes and sumptim' for to eat." Besides the original lease money which he received for the eighty-acre tract on which the Tarvee wells are located, the aged ox-slave receives a one-eighth production. Other wells will be built it is said. The wells are ready producing are making an aggregate of 2200 barrels. Undertakers Who Transferred Bodies From Expensive Caskets To Pine Boxes Held MANY GRAYES OPENED Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 21—Ware was indicted by grand jury this week. He gave as his reason the fact that he had an understanding with certain families to bury their deceased in expensive caskets for show and later open the graves and transfer the bodies to less expensive caskets. Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 23.—The Fulton County Grand Jury Tuesday morning is to investigate the alleged wholesale robbery of graves in South View Cemetery by S. F. Ware, proprietor of the Atlanta Undertaking Company, and Claude Madbox and Thurman Jones, all colored, whom he is alleged to have employed to dismember the bodies of dead and turn the coffins over to his company for re-sale. A subpoena has been issued, directing Attorney Roy S. Dresman to produce the Grand Jury all books and books of the undertaking company which, according to officers investigating the case, he seized and carried off, blocking their efforts to trace several alleged slain caskets. The graves of many dead colored people were opened Monday under the supervision of Lieutenant Jordan, white, of the county police. Several were found to contain dead bodies that had been bitten by the coffins and the pine boxes that contained the coffins. In one instance the officers found that the body of Solomon Jackson, who was buried October 1, 1922, was enclosed in a casket originally sold to natives of Nancey Joyce and in which she was buried September 8, 1922, according to the official. This robbery was uncovered in the confession of Thurman Jones, who claims that Jones identified the coffin which contained Jackson's body as the one he had dig up and removed from the grave of the Boyer woman. Jones's confession further led to the killing of the bodies of Laura Perry and Anna Battle in pine boxes in the graves without caskets. The Perry woman was buried December 8, 1922, while the Battle woman's body was buried November 27, 1922. According to the confession, the officers state they have from Jones, six graves have been robbed by him and his confidante. Five of the coffins have been located by the officers, and they believe the sixth will be found when the Atlanta Underwriting Company's records are surrendered to them. A large crowd of colored people viewed the displacement of bodies in the View Cemetery Monday by the officers. Loud sobbing could be heard as the dead bodies were uncarried and found to be enclosed in nothing but pine boxes. Dressmaker Led Him To Seek Divorce.

Following a riot call sent into the Northern Police Station, eight white men said to have taken part in the riot were arrested. Three families consisting of ten men and women were barricaded in the house at the time of the bombardment and narrowly escaped being burned when a brick thrown through one of the windows on an oil lamp, setting the place on fire. Quick work prevented a more tragic outcome. Last Saturday, after applying to L. Mechnicki, 20 E. Loving St. white, real estate dealer, for a house, three families but a few weeks residents in Baltimore, were rented this house on Oak Street. They moved in the same day and it was not until bricks and stones began to be placed in the place that they were aware that the buildings were enclosed by the buildings. Most of the occupants pertained to the rear of the house until the police arrived. Upon the appearance of the officers the mob dispersed. Eight men, most of whom lived in the vicinity and thought to have taken part in the disturbance were arrested. At the Northern Police Station Tuesday morning they were dismissed by the police-at-large Tammie Goulds, whom one of the white men accused of having in his hand a hatchet during the disturbance, was found $5 and costs by the Magistrate. Noble Williams, one of the men in the house at the time, stated to a reporter of Tong Ago that none of the men had any weapon at the time he could not put them inside Maddie's apartment for having a gun in his hand when all of the men who demolished the place went free. Those in the house at the time of the trouble were Noble Williams, George Maddox, Robert Easley, Ernest Easley, David Parker, R. L. Douglas, Ernest Mickey, Mrs. Etta Easley, Mrs. Andrew Mae Douglas, and Mrs. Ehn Easley. Who cared by a reporter for this case whether they would be in the house or not? Easley stated that although they feared they would not be given protection, their press plans were to remain. Migistrate Lankinib advised him to find other living quarters in view of the trouble they were having, but Commissioner Gaither stated that they would get proper police protection. Mechanick stated this house and three others in the same block, which he controls, to anyone, colored or white, that the paid for them, to engage the occupants to protect them, stating that it is only encourage hoodlumism and lawlessness to leave. The eight white men arrested and acquitted in the Northern Police Station by Magistrate Lankinib on 0. Tuesday morning were: Ford P. Wildis, 24 years old, 2226 Oak street; Peter E.

He must be trained and trained well, in order to appreciate what he sees or to get from what he sees, the lessons taught therein. But we can always read and bring to the eye of his mind, what our actual eyes may never see. He has never traveled in the city, but from boyhood days it is read, with an ever-increasing sense of deliciousness, of the mystic wonder of that faraway portion of his old world of cows. He have pored over the performances of the Mad Hatha, over the wild daring of the birtheses. I have concludes about and pondered congratulating the followers of the Mad Hatha, never dreamed that some of these performances might be duplicated here in dear old Maryland. It is to luffy that I owe so much, the way of the fulfillment of these perishing dreams of mine, need to be to travel.

UNION, 9; SHAW, 0 UNION, 9; SHAW, 0 Richmond, Va., Iee, 26—Before a crowd of shivering roots Virginia University Panthers defeated Shaw University in a post-season football game at League Park. Norfolk Iee, 5, 9 to 4. The game was a post-season game of note, was one of the most keenly fought games of the year. During the first half, the teams battled in mid-field with the exception of one supreme effort by the Union backfield which brought the ball within striking distance. Unable to rush the ball perversely calling signals in place of扣杀, the side lines with a broken nose kicked a perfect placement goal standing on the 37 yard line. In the second half, Union began to show her superior strength and rushed Shaw off her feet getting within striking distance four times in the third quarter. However, Union's quick backkicks that have seated to follow Jackson year prevented a score. In the last quarter, shortly after Jackson, All-American quarter-back was rushed into the fray, a seventy yard off-tackle run by Wilson again put the ball in scoring position. Then, a perfectly executed forward pass, Jackson to Corruthers scored the long touchdown of the game. The play was a big one, with inches. Wilson was easily the star of the game, his long runs from sorriment and in running back kicks labeled him as one of the best backs of the year. Smith, W. A. .. L. F. .. Lyle Jones, Houston, L. T. ..

Two Well-Known Citizen Deny Rumors That They Are Dead, and Prove It Two well-known . . . persons this week denied current rumors that they are dead. They not only denied them but proved it. Rev. W. W. Allen, pastor of St. Mary's church was reported dead last Thursday, and the telephone wires to his home were kept for a while. An Afro-American reporter who called was informed that the pastor had gone to North Carolina to accompany his wife. Rev. Allen on his return declared it was the death of H. W. Anderson of South Baltimore which caused the rumor. The pastor is not entirely recovered from a recent illness. "Don't let that rumor get out that I'm dead," declared H. W. Anderson, transfer man, corner of McMechen and Kiskimore which had been sent to write his obituary. "I'm feeling very fine. I went into a neighborhood drug store to make a purchase recently, and the woman clerk who had heard that I was dead, that I was a guest and was afraid to speak." Mr. Anderson, said tree, it was the 'death of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Annie L. Oliver, which caused the rumor. "Y" DOWNS MORGAN Washington, D. C., Dec. 17. —On Friday night, December 15, the Y. W.

W. team shot one field goal and one foot, thereby winning the game from Morgan 26-23.

Accompanying her body to its last resting place were Rev. Charles H. Lowery, Lt. Col. George W. Hines, and Levering House, George W. Monctonery, white, and a white undertaker. From all information it seems that Mrs. Rock had her own life because of an illness George W. Montgomery, white, propriator of the Levering House, where Mrs. Rock was employed for five years after her first marriage she bet his ability to have an operation performed and that ever since this time she had suffered periods of malnutrition and showed frequent pervasive depression. Since the operation she had lived alone, in isolation and without friends. She never visited anyone or any places of persecution. She seemed to have lost interest in everything and even the weather that caused her death was inflicted by a posted she had taken from a drawer in the office on the Saturday before the day she shot herself. The bullet entered, her right temple and death must have been instantiated. Except for the fact that her father was dead lived in Atlantic City, nothing else of her relatives and past connections.

Said Mr. Gather, Urban was on trial Mr. Gaither, Urban was on trial Mr. Gaither was with a serious crime. It would have been unfair for his officer associates to have registered their belief in his guilt before the jury, for then the jury would have concluded that if the Police Department thought him guilty he must. It was to give him a fair deal that members of the police testified truthfully to the fact that he had been a cool and levelheaded policeman while in the detention. to Urban if I had stated, when asked the question, as to whether I should be should have been presented to have answered yes. I had allowed to him shortly after the occurrence and from the story he told me that time was of the opinion that he killed Williams in the performance of his duty as a police man. That was the Police Department, however, that presented the evidence to the Grand Jury that brought about his indictment, and this Department was at any time made to delay the trial. On contrary, we transferred him from police to criminal duty on the edge that the trial would soon be taken up and he would have a chance to vindicate himself. "I stated to him that he would have to go to trial and our only Ipe was that the evidence would show that he had acted as he told us he had." ON COLORED POLICEMEN When asked about the use of colored men and women in the Police Department as an aid in reducing crime and as a means of developing a more helpful attitude people to the work of this department. Commissioner Gaither stated that the fact that there was no apprehension available for any repudiation of the police department along his line made practical discussion of this matter untimely at this time. It was brought out, however, that just as the use of colored men and women in police departments of a large number of cities, North and South, had done much not only to lessen crime but to reduce friction, that it would only be a matter of time for only colored cities,狄尔姆斯 included, would utilize the services provided men and women. It was pointed out that in such uses as the hold-up and robbery recently pulled off on Pennsylvania venue, colored men could have been of great service to the department and probably solved the problem more soon. There are many criminal institutions within the trust that can only be reached by men and women. The establishment of the new crime commission, it is said, will give an excellent opportunity to have this phase of police administration carefully studies.

YOCK-A-MIN OYSTER WESLEY INSTALLED AS EXALTED RULER "South Baltimore Boy" Wins Way To the Top As Head of the Monumental Lodge of Elks TOOK SEAT TUESDAY Antlered Herd in "Love Feast' Congratulate New Head of "Herd" Charles Wesley, well-known Pennsylvania avenue furniture dealer, was installed Tuesday night as Grand Exalted Ruler of the Monumental Lodge of Elks of the city. The installation followed announcement of State Deputy Raymond Coates that Mr. Wesley had been elected by over 200 majority a week before, and that his election was entirely legal. The new head of the Herd was then formally installed and following his speech from the rostrum, the entire lodge room witnessed a remarkable demonstration of congratulations and hand-shaking. Members referred to the new Grand Exalted Ruler as a "South Baltimore boy" who in business and financial affairs had worked his way to the top. As told last week in the Arro, Mr. Wesley was elected Tuesday night of last week. The election was however protested on the ground that he was ineligible for office, having allowed his membership to hapse while holding the position of Ex-steamed Loading Knight. Several of the members, it is said, appealed for a ruling to J. Finley Wilson, head of the National body of Elks, Mr. Wilson is said to have declared without an official appeal from the Monumental Lodge. State Deputy Coates was empowered to settle all technical points raised. Mr. Coates declared Mr. Wesley elected, and the installation followed. Buy your Xmas TURKEYS, CHICKENS, DUCKS and MEATS here.

COURT ENJOINS ENON'S PASTOR PERMANENTLY Injunction Forbids J. H Green From Acting or Attempting To Act As Pastor Longer CHURCH OPENED MONDAY Court Decree Read by Lawyers, Members Offer Fellowship to Beaten Faction Beholding over the permanent injunction granted them on Monday restraining Rev. J. H. Green from writing or attempting to act as passor of the Eminon Baptist Church Park avenue, near Dolphin street, members of the congregation not in the church building Monday night for a celebration. The injunction granted by Judge Bond in Court Court is permanent and now a legal battle between the pastor and trustees for the control of the church, which has lingered over eight months. "America" and occasional applause was heard by Ephraim Jackson and Benjamin McKendall, attorney, read the opinion of the Court and the injunction. Still founder "America" granted the plan of the Rev. James Gray, Rev. Frank K. Browne, that the court follow the settlement of the case, but that the membership extend the good hand of fellowship to the defeated foe, who are still members in good standing in the church. HISTORY OF THE CASE Trouble arises in the church eight months and when officers of the church accused the pastor of conduct unlawfully in a minister. He was asked of the pastorate and paid three months' salary in advance. How, Mr. Green refused to be ousted. Imprisonment upon injunction followed which resulted in the church being closed several months ago until the matter could be settled. Finally Judge Bond ordered an election under Court summons. His opinion in part follows. *Each function in the church nominated a minister of another church as a commissioner or place of election, the two nominees selected a third minister, and an appointed designating day for the election, within the hours of church in the morning and at night. The election was held by the three commissioners or judges, and they reported to the court that 321 members of the church voted against the retribution to the pastor, and 618 members of the church voted against the pastor. This election is now questioned on these grounds: PASTOR CLAIMED NAMES WERE OMITTED "First—There is evidence to show that in transmitting the names of members from the church bodies held in Court, to the list used at the election, more than four hundred names which appeared in the books were omitted. Names omitted in the transfer include those of all dead members, all who have left the church for any reason, all whose names have been changed by marriage, and all whose names have been merely misspelled in one list or the other. Except for the statement of counsel to the contrary, I could not find that any deductions to the contrary were any omissions. "Only twenty-nine of the persons who presented themselves to voters were refused the privilege of voting, and, of course, even if all those who were refused had intended to vote for the pastor (which is not present eb), and had so voted, they became the majority of us, against him. "I conclude that no defect in the transcribing of the lists is sufficient to render the results of the election of the president of the wish of the congregation. DOORS NOT CLOSED TOO SOON "In the second place, it is contended that the doors were closed, and the taking of votes stopped, too soon, and at a time when many intending voters were waiting in line outside of the church door. I think, perhaps, there was an oversight in the failure to allow for the fact that some members, especially those who worked out us domestic servants, might not reach the church after their work, and in time to vote before 9 o'clock. "The greater part of the evidence shows that the doors were not closed before nine, and that there were not many waiting in line then. If there were members shut out then, it is a regrettable fact, but one which, I think, cannot be held to vitiate the election. We do not know how many of them would have voted on one side or the other, and the votes of these latecomers, we should not be justified in putting the church to the trouble and delay of an entirely new election. COURT PRAISES JUDGES "A third objection to the election is based on evidence of several of the partisans of the pastor, that in one way or another the judges interfered to obtain votes against him. Some of these witnesses appear so strongly biased that they prevent confidence in their testimony. All these complaints seemed to me to have been rather hard sought and far fetched. Both factions were represented in the group of judges, all the judges sat together, and together took each vote; and they now all, without exception, agree that the election was fair and properly conducted. "The testimony of improprieties in the vote taking is greatly overbalanced by testimony to the contrary. "These three judges seem to have made every effort to be fair, and to avoid giving any ground for objection. They strike me as admirable, impressive men, entitled to the Court's confidence. "Accepting the evidence of the case which may have been reported, therefore, a decision will be passed against the petition." To Santa Claus Dear Sister: I am four years old.

Upon her testimony Judge member Barry guilty on four counts of keeping a disorderly house, to kill, punishing and carrying a deadly weapon. According to the story told by Miss mean she not Barryry in September and shortly afterwards he took to live at 914 McCullah street. When he was ill he forced her to engage for her he forced her to engage in prostitution, beating her and threatening her life is she attempted to leave the place. At 11 Mcullah street, Barbary was reunited another that, where he resided another girl named Helen, hermately he spent the nights at 111 Mcullah street, compiling the girls to turn over to him slightly all money that had come to them. For this he provided clothes and food, accompanying the two girls which it was necessary to buy clothes and buying them himself. TURNED OVER $100 A WEEK Question—Were the patrons Barbary brought you white or colored? Mary unconscious—They were all white. Question—Are you sure they were all white? Mary Duncan—We had strict orders to admit no colored men to the court. Question—How much did you care? Mary Duncan—Never less than $3, but we were told to get whatever we could, sometimes $3, sometimes $4, and sometimes even more. Question—How many men came in the course of a week? Mary Duncan—I don't know, but many weeks I turned over $190 to Barbara. Question—How did you escape? Mary Duncan—Tuesday before Thanksgiving, Barbery gave us a hat, and we both decided to escape, then left the city, but I went over a friend's house on Caroline street. It was here that after several days' search Barbery saw Mary during the house to go into a store in Caroline street. Although she had to evade him and hide behind a water he followed and began to walk from the counter he started to asking her on the head, cutting no deep wounds, when occupants of the store intervened and saved her from more serious injury. In the scuffle which followed he was a reveller and but for the fact that two white clerks in the store trapped with him the white men are also cut in the encounter. Miss Duncan came from Lancaster, S.C., with her parents several years ago. For sometime she was a student of St. Joseph Seminary, a girl's school in North Carolina. She admitted that for more than a year she had been travelling the primrose route. Asked why she allowed Barylo to hold her in slack slavery and why she did not leave the McCutlown street house before this, she replied by pointing to her head at the same time, stating, "I was afraid this happen." "The story will be sentenced this week, while the case of disorderly conduct against Mary Duncan was settled by the State on condition that she make an effort to lead a different life." "I am going back home and try to start again," she told a reporter for The Artoo AMERICAN. TAYLOR AND JENKINS ASK FOR DISCHARGE Hearing Set for U. S. Court January 6th Petition of E. B. Taylor and C.

Delegates At St Louis Next Week To Pay Tribute To Rev. E. P. Lovejoy TO MAKE PILGRIMAGE Convention To Journey To Alton, Ill., and Lay Wreath on Monument Nexro college men of America will payribute to Rev. E. P. Lovejoy next week on the occasion of the 15th annual convention of the Alpha Thi Alpha Fraternity, which meets in St. Louis, Mo. A feature of the session will be a pilgrimage of the hundred or more delegates to Alton, III. thirty miles away where a wreath will be placed upon the Lovejoy monument, placed there and brief exercise held. Rev. E. P. Lovejoy, white, was a pastor in St. Louis before the Civil War. Like William Lloyd Garrison and Frederick Douglass he founded a newspaper in 1831 and denounced slavery and slave holding with unsparing severity. About this time Nassau gave a slave start on a slave insurrection in Virginia in which 61 whites, mostly women and children, were killed. Rev. Mr. Lovejoy was warned to desist. His printing office was destroyed and his press thrown into the Mississippi river. He himself was lynched by a mob at Alton in giving his life. He John Brown for the freedom of the slaves. Last year when the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity held its 14th convention in Baltimore, a pilgrimage to Anacostia, D. C. Home of Frederick Douglass was a feature of the program. Douglass was made a posthumous memorial of the officers of the Fraternity are located in Baltimore, including S. S. Booker, general president; Dr. J. H. Hillburn, first vice president, and Carl Murphy, editor of the Sphinx, the official organ issued monthly. Attorney Roy S. Bond and Dr. B. M. Rhetra will be delegates from the local chapter. Four chapters, located for the most part at colleges throughout the United States will be represented at the convention. THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1922 McGuinn Sanguine That Colored Councilman Can Be Elected The re-districting of the twenty-eight wards of the city into six councilmatic districts is exciting the interest of the politicians, many of whom have journeyed to the office of the Supervisors of Elections in an effort to get a tip on what is to be. It appears that one district will be made Republican, but the colored politicians are apprehensive about the chance to elect a representative of the plan to include the 13th, 14th, 17th and 22nd wards, as well as the upper precincts of the 4th and the lower ones of the 16th ward in one district. Nearly half of the 25,600 colored men and women registered in the city is in these wards. 10,909 Colored 20,654 White The registered white and colored wards follow. White Colored 4th, 2,089 976 13th, 3,108 158 14th, 3,579 2,719 17th, 1,629 2,474 16th, 8,945 1,704 22nd, 1,904 928 26,654 Total 10,969 The 14th Ward, which has gone Democratic a number of times, is now represented in the City Council by a Republican; the 14th and 17th Wards have W. M. L. Fitzgerald and Warner T. McGinnigan, respectively, as their representatives; the 14th and 18th Wards, both Democrats, and the 22nd has a white Republican member. It is rumored that only the Eastern part of the 16th Ward, which takes in one or two precincts where the colored vote is heavy and the upper precincts of the Fourth Ward, which contain the bulk of the colored population there, will be included in the City Councilman McCulkin is sen- City Councilman McCulkin is sage- guise that any Republican dis- persed in this way will have suf- sion colored voters to insure "the election of on and maybe two colo- red councilmen." Mr. William Wilkens, proprietor of the New World Safe, is confined to his home, 305 Pearl street, by illness. A meeting of the parrons of the Colored High School was held at the school Tuesday evening. Following conferences between teachers and parents, Principal Mason A. Hawkins and others delivered addresses. JUBILEE SONGSTERS appear at M. E. CHURCH December 24th, 8 P. M. SACRED MUSICAL PROGRAM SILVER OFFERING Fred. Winfield Scott, Manager ORRIS, Pastor THE MAN WHO WOULD BE WHITE BY AUBREY POWSER It was ten o'clock when Nelson Holmes, the sales manager of the Llama Coffee Company, closed his desk. He had worked since eight in the morning, for the largest consignment of coffee in the history of the company he had worked in from the office clerks go home, while he stayed on, going over innumerable way bills and other documents. He got up and went into the washroom to bathe his tired eyes. The window was open, and he looked out and downward. He stories below him. Wall Street, the biggest market for a few companies, and on every side-mounted office buildings like vast, deserted hives. The salt wind blew in from the sea, a chain of lights arched over the Brooklyn Bridge, and from the river came the deep, hourse wheeze of the boat whistles. Nelson Holmes booted over several scenes and laughed, laughter at the joke he was made on New York. He turned to the basin to wash his hands. His face stared back at him from the mirror, ivory-white, with brown hair curling over the forehead. The chiseled features, the firm mouth, the clear wide eyes suggested vision and intelligence. His suggestion was by the fact that Nelson Holmes, at the age of thirty-two, had become the head of the sales department of a great coffee importing firm in Wall Street. It was his ambition to become the greatest coffee man in the office they could hire him. In the office they could hire him the Englishman, who had looked in the president had once mentioned him as a fine specimen of Ambo-Saxon manhood. All this run through Nelson Holmes's mind as he looked at his face in the mirror. Then that face began playing tricks. He was tired and worn and lacked the mental force to suppress the thoughts aroused by his own countenance in the mirror. Any man who looks long and closely in a mirror will learn how accusing his own face can be. Nelson Holmes was learning how to approach him. "You are succeeding; you have a little money; you are popular; but what good does it do? You under it all you are a liar. You are living a lie, you dress a lie, you eat, drink and sleep a lie. Others don't know it or suspect it; but I know it and God knows it. You are unhappy. He holmes wiped his hands and turned amurily away from the mirror. He danced the towel to the door and, hurrying back to the office, he threw on his hat and coat. In the subway, as the train roared uptown, he tried to read the coffee exchange news. But between him and the print would come that face of his in the print accusing and contemptuous. "Tiar liar," it said until he put down the paper and gave himself up to teach. Nelson Holmes's fellow-traveler in the subway would have judge him to be a regular Wall Street man, what with his faultless clothes and intelligent face. And they would have been right. But if asked just what he was ethnically they would have been wrong, for they would have said he was an Englishman. Nelson Holmes was a Negro. He was not a Negro logically for he had not more than a drop of Negro blood. America one drop makes him black, but ten thousand of a cannassia blood leaves a Negro still a Negro. Nelson Holmes had been born as a Negro and till he was twenty-one lived as a Negro. All his antecedents, his background, the associations of childhood and boyhood had been Negro. At twenty-two, old enough to appreciate the burdens of his race, and being frequently mistaken for a white man, he had been a teacher. He had left his home in a California house and come to New York. Starting as an office boy in a coffee house he had worked hard and studied hard. He had mastered bookkeeping, shorthand, correspondence, typewriting and Spanish. Step by step he began his position with the Llama people, no one had ever questioned his color. Yet he had experienced the curious mental twings that come to most men who leave their race. Whenever he heard of a Negro winning distinction he would say to himself: "He won out, color and all; he as braver than I." And when he saw beautiful girls on the street he was all he could do from smiling at them. They were his type of beauty, full of fire and grace and sweetness. As a white man he had gone with white girls since coming to New York, and they had seemed cold and hard compared to the colored girls he had known. They had the arrogance of a conquering race: the colored girls had the syruppathy and sweetness of a suffering race. And he was denied their company. Sometimes he felt that, after all age and advantage in being a Negro, he had die. Ambition had gripped him. He would be white and make his way. Yet as he sat in the subway train, he realized that he was not happy. His face in the mirror kept coming to him, and like Banquo's ghost, it would not be downed. "Oh, well," he said to himself, "this is only fatigue. I'm a little overworked, that's all." He left the subway train at DRJAS.A.WHITE SURGEON DENTIST Crown and Bridgework a specialty Gas Administered All work Guaranteed Cathedral Parkway, for he kept bachelor's quarters in a magnificent apartment house, just across the street. He steps the steps not out a commotion a little way up the street. Several men in uniform were talking to a woman. She soiled to be trying to get out of them. On 0311 SKLEY, Gallery 2. held her arm. Even as Holmes looked she broke away and started down the street toward his house, the soldiers after her, pulling to her. She tried to run, but her skirt was fashionably narrow. As she reached the light before Holmes's house Holmes saw that she was a colored girl and the rowdies pursued her and white. In a flush the woman dawned in him, and what they did in the South; these soldiers were Southerners, probably veterans of many a lynching. His blood snagged within him. "Let that lady alone!" he thundered. "The girl, with a quick book of appeal, ran up the steps and into the hallway. "Lady," said one of the soldiers with a musel wang. "Her, a lady? How much didn't it a good book to it did you?" "Who am I yet anyone?" asked another, "intertie' in someone's pleasure?" They surrounded the step threateningly, three wollish fares fired by drink. Dolmies decided to use strategy. They fellows had better hear it, be said. "If you don't I've got something in my pocket to stop you. If you don't want to go back South in a box you'll get away from here and let this lady alone." "Whazatt 'bout th' South?" asked one of the mea, drunker than the others. "boughface Yankee talkin' sign th' South." "Look here," said another. "You don't understand. That sing-perfecting no body—that god's a nigger." Holmes's only reply was a movement toward his hip pocket. Soiling that, the three rowdy reeds raced away with bad remarks about "Pool Yankees spillin' niggers" "Women winger niggers edit' Yankees want to quit it," "takin' niggers' part again white men" "callin' a niger wench a lady." Nelson Holmes on the sidewalk watched them till they vanished in the distance subway entrance. His blood had never been so hot in all his life. He was a nigger, a blow. The racedraft of the South rose before him in all its terror. So this was why they lynched many Negroes in the South—lynched them for resenting just such insults to their women as he had seen. And he had deserted this race, which meant the strength to fight its battle. His face in the washroom mirror came before him again. "Oh, I thank you; you don't know how I know you!" Holmes turned. The colored girl was at his elbow, her face shining in the light. She could have no idea of what he had gone through as he stood watching the rowdies. She was smiling at her, totally eager, and he well knew why she was wary. She did not know him, and in her eyes he was of the same heaped as those he had rescued her from. He might attempt to capitalize his clivalty. Again his conscience burned within him. How many thousand girls there are of this race needing men's protection? And he, who cared for the most one for life had left them all. "Oh don't bother to thank me," he said ruefully. "I don't deserve it." The girl looked at him, frankly puzzled.

"I don't wish to seem forward," he said, but perhaps I should see you safely on your way. You live hereoutside." She said quickly. "I live further up in the land. I was on my way to the subway when you—" "You mean when those beasts annoyed you." "Well, said the girl thoughtfully, and am glad they did." "I did," he continued. "Yes. The Southern gentleman, as you call him, has spread his propaganda so far and wide that you Northern white people don't believe half you hear about his treatment of colored people. If this very thing had happened in the South and a colored man, my brother or my father, had come to my rescue he would have been lynched. Perhaps they would have lynched me, too." "I know, he grounded, I know." "But you don't she persisted." "The South hasn't got all Northners fooled," he said. "Perhaps not all, but most of them," she said bitterly. "And since you resumed that an intelligent Northman white man has seen for himself. If such things can happen in New York when a few Southern soldiers come here, think of what it must be in Georgia." "Yes, yes, I understand. But didn't better see you to the subway?" "No, thank you. I don't think it had happened again." "For all you know, he persisted, that same cow may be in the subway, waiting to follow you to Harlem." "If they annoyed a colored girl on 406x avenue," she said coldly, "how long do you think they would live?" "Two-fifths of a second," he answered promptly, and both of them hurried. "You might stand here and watch he safely into the subway," she said. He looked at her long and humgily. She was the first colored girl he had talked with for ten years. If she would please him to he would talk with him for hours. A peeping came over him to her know and understand him. Meeting her eyes again, he all but broke down. He longed to tell her his whole story. But the habit of ten years and the grip of ambition were strong upon him and could not be shaken off all at once. This adventure had come upon him too suddenly; he had been taken unwares. Even while talking with her he had unconsciously glanced about to see whether he was observed, and always in the back of his mind was the Llama Coffee Company, often he had heard the man who, with success in sight, he gave up for the sake of a woman. He had them as weaklings. The girl at his side seemed to sense the struggle within him, and often he caught her furious glances in bewilderment. She made up her mind to go. "Good-night, sir," she said, "and thank you." "Shall I ever—ever see you again?" he sighed. (Continued next week) Service 2,000 FEET OF SPACE WELL HEATED NO FREEZING OF RADIATORS NA.

It's a darknight shame that by the time this review appears in print, that the fastest, furthest and clearest colored show we have seen this year will be a matter of history. For the sake of the public that craves good entertainment, we hope that the unexpected something is possible for this show to remain intact. Barrington Carter, Garland How- ard. Sam Cook, and Speedy Smith are credited with the book. They are entitled to such credit as there may be, for the show is reminiscent of the late William Williams and Maker Jesse Shaw. Smart Sot, Eye of Youth, and My Friend From Kentucky, but, and its a big but, the familiar bits have been gathered together discriminately, and assembled into a most logical and amusing story that keeps one well amused for two hours and fifteen minutes. Many of the song numbers are those made famous by Lubie Hill. They of course are the property of his widow, Evan Robinson, a star in the show, to whom they are credited. The merit of the numbers is such that they still make one hum the mules as we leave the theater. In the show three scores with fifteen song numbers, six dancing specialties, and two smashing hints. There were only 25 people in the troupe, but they were all artists. The chorus of fourteen girls was composed of a group of real beauties, slender of limb, fine figure, and nimble who sang and danced with both "he" and precision of movement. They had to change of costume that harmonized excellently with the numbers. Of the principals it may be pointed. I said that they were all good since all worked without that reservation usual to a musical comedy where some are subordinated to the designated stars. Then, too, the parts of the respective performers were such as previous. Steady Smith principal comedian, with his work in this show, has definitely made a player for himself as a musical comedy artist. Sam Cook's character work was a revelation in the possibilities that hay dormant in this Chinese impresor. Allen and Jones: Howard and Brown, Erickson and Al Moore. A. B.

"SHUFFLE ALONG" CO. DOESN'T PLEASE ALL "SHUFFLE ALONG" CO. DOESN'T PLEASE ALL Management Criticized for Not Catering to Colored People; Lyles Not Dead By J. A. Jackson The original "Shuffle Along" Company, playing at the Olympic Theatre in Chicago, is reported from some sources to be suffering from some of the difficulties that often beget successful shows. While the report that Mr. Lyles was dead proved to be untrue, it is a fact that he has been seriously ill. The little follow showed remarkable gameness in making every performance, despite the physicians' orders to the contrary. Business continues very good with no effort being made to cultivate the colored persons, a fact that has played the show in some disfavor with the Negro papers of the city. Miss Gee and Miss Spencer have changed positions, overseeing the soothsayer dome part. Miss Hughes is directing the chorus. The cast is reported to be quite dissatisfied with being required to do an extra show on Sunday without any added recompense. CELEBRATED ARMSTRONGS CELEBRATED ARMSTRONGS J.

The title, now in South Carolina, has done a thousand miles during the year, and are booked as far South as Florida and back to Philadelphia, where the season will close about dane 1st next year. They are billed to present "Mirth, Magic, and Mystery" and announce that the performance is punctured with 250 laughs in fifty minutes.

THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1922 "HOW COME" IS NAME OF NEW YORK'S NEWEST COLORED MUSICAL COMEDY By J. A. Jackson On December 18th, "How Come," a musical comedy by Eddie Hunter, is produced by the Criterion Productions, Inc., went into rehearsal in New York. The show is to be ready for the opening on or about January 1st. The show is in two acts, and seven scenes, and will be completed with a complete equipment of special scenery and properties. Benjamin Harris, Sam Grismer and Jack Goldberg, a group of very practical showmen, are interested in the corporation. Irving Miller, whose "Liza" Company is said to have a chorus that excels the original "Shuffle Along" is staging the production, and Nat Cash, who has staged five colored shows and three MANAGERS MUST ADVERTISE SHOWS This article by Lee Henry, manager of the Lincoln Theatre, Cincinnati, is a reply to the article which appeared in THE APO-MERCAN under the title "Do We Want A Better Stage," which was republished in The Billboard under the title "A Pertinent Question." "Thetheatrical Id. In the first place, we can say that the public does want good, clean, wholesome acts. The acts mentioned in the article headed, "a pertinent question," will please any audience, and what's more pack any house, if the manager knows how to sell it. There are many good acts that go down because managers do not know how to sell the goods. My knowledge is of the best towns in America. Any artist, white or colored, will tell you that Cincinnati people know what they want and are hard to please. If they don't get the goods, the theatre plays. There is no reason in the world why the mentioned bill should not draw, if properly advertised. I am not questioning the management of the house involved, but you cannot bring people to your theatre, if you do not let them know what you have. A picture and a poster in the lobby will not turn the trick. Spend something in advertising, and you will get results. Newspapers are very good, and you must supplement them with billboard paper. People do not always want to put out their question is always drawn to poster displays, and they remember them. Leslie public know what you have, also tell them in big type that you bar "smut" and don't be afraid to say that "if the show don't please, you can get your money back." You will find that when an occasional one calls for his money, that he will in all likelihood admit thirds of the show pleased him, and that of the show away without want- Many acts work hard deciding something to please the public, and a capable theatre manager helps to deliver it. If you buy cloth, and don't know how to sell it, you will always have cloth on your hands. Give either cloth or sets proper advertising and either will be sold. Let the public know you have some selling to sell, and you can sell it if you do not fool them. Remember Barnum's last time in his snowman's philosophy, "You can't fool them all the time."

MADAM EMMA PERRY WALLACE The little star was taken under the wing of Mr. Cox, about eighteen months ago, when he saw her loitering about the theatre where her mother Mrs. Pearl Jones, was engaged as musical director of the show. Mr. Cox asked her mother to her him teach her some songs and dance. She consented, with the result that the audience proved such an apt pupil that in a very short time she "went on" and "cleaned up" from the start, and has been cleaning up everywhere she has appeared ever since. She is deeply in love with her "work" and spends most of her time back stage preaching new dance steps and other bits of business that will add to the perfection of her performance. We observed her work when she first appeared in this city a year or so ago, and it was our opinion that she advanced even more rapidly than had expected and its our prediction, that in a few years, one of the biggest colored feminine stars on the American stage will be Miss Ernestine Jones. And to her talent will be added the gift of beauty. Even now she has a pair of basking Anna Held uses that the famous trouble making behavior, and wager that they are going to make many a poor male a target for the darts of Dan Cupid.

Soon he slipped out of the door and can run up the road as fast as his little legs could carry him, beckoning back and seeing no one in pursuit, he shackled his paw as he will kept trudging on until he became exhausted; then he sat down under a tree to rest and awaken discovery. An hour passed and it began to get dark, and he began to grow in shape. Not knowing a close watch to be kept of his movements, he got up and slowly, then more and more rapidly, retraced his steps. He was running and whimming with weariness and fear when in reached home and found an assembled family apparently unaware of his long absence.

While the dentist was working over me, I fainted, and he continued working for some time before he discovered it. At a party a few evening later, where the dentist was present, I mentioned the incarnation, slightly lasting him for this incarnation carelessness, of the "colds" he explained to the assembled guests.

ITEMS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN i. come-made the trip from Newark this year, he'll try to justify her opinion to New York by steamer, took a cab, He turned, looked at me in amazement: "journey was pleasant inment, and family stutted." 178-185 passengers—Y. O. U. It seems to me a married woman should concentrate her energy on her home. My opinion is not based on any old-fashioned notion either. This is the day of the specialist and the officiant, the home and it should apply to the home as well as to business. I know from personal experience that a woman cannot spend her day in an office, with all its petty annoyances, unexpected situations to be handled, and the like; then go home wife and companion she should be. Neither can she care for her home and husband as she should and then go down to the office and present a claim exterior to the public and manage her fellow employees meticulously. If a woman cares more for her work than for her husband she should not marry. Then, too, if a man knows his wife is capable and willing to share the expense of a home, it has a ambiguity to cause him to shack up, deceiving his office and sense of responsibility. It is natural for a man to deprive his wife and care for his wife; deprive him of this incentive and he becomes sluggish—Mrs. Louis M. Harrington. Engagement I was a working girl. My mother died when I was 15, and from that time on I was "out in the world." It seemed as if there was no rest. It was just go from one place to the next. I met a young man who treated me royalty. He asked me to marry him, and then tried of working for someone else. I accepted him. I grew fond of him and he seemed to think there was no one in the world like me. Yet every day I saw planer that I didn't care for him, but on how tired I was of working. One day I begged him to marry me. I told him I was going away to another town to work. He wasn't ready to marry yet, so I wanna anyway. I met another young man at it was a case of love at first sight. Twenty days from the day we met we were married. I had no time to beach my first engagement until after I was married, because the first man pain. I know I did but I know now after three years of married life I should have caused him more pain and married him. We are happy. We have a baby girl and think "our" family is the only one. I sincerely hope the other man has found him a man who will marry him for love, not for a home. —Happy. A Coincidence I once made the trip from Norfolk to New York by steamer, took a cab to my boarding place and turned my trunk check over to the "cabby" with directions to have the trunk insent the next morning without fail. Being desperately sasick, I neglected to take the cabby's number and a map of the town was put to bed and did not return full consciousness until late the next afternoon. My first question was "Has my trunk arrived?" It had not. There were valuables in it and articles I needed immediately. A whole day was consumed in烦躁 attempts to locate it or the cabby's stand over the telephone. When I alighted I started out in search of my lost property. I made it to the location of the carry out to be combed over in the effort, but it was determined not to come back without my trunk. After many unwilling inquiries I was walking along a street near the dock wondering what I should do next and almost in despair, when the fire belts rang. People on or every door were brought to a standstill in front of a sauna. As looked toward I saw the land form of my recent cabby out of the door and start up the street on a run. Instantly I was after him and managed to hand a blow from behind his shoulders with my parasol, crying "Where's my trunk?" He turned, looked at me in unimpact, and finally stuttered. "It's—its around the corner. I Sure enough it was in a baggage room "round the corner." Neither of us saw that fire, but now I never hear fire balls ring without thinking of the remarkable confidence which restored my trunk to me—Jessie Clark. My Happiest Moment returned from a 1960 known he had a very little diamond in his pocket waiting for me, but I could never make up my mind to accept When he started home that evening I went to the door with him. There he stopped, put his arm on my shoulder and asked me again to accept his love. I do not know just what answer I gave, nor if I really said anything, but it must have been satisfactory, for in a very short time the little ping was on my finger and he drew me to him and kissed me tenderly—the first kiss I ever received from any man. I knew then, as he held me close; that I was very happy. We were married a year later, but I still took back to that night in time when I received my first kiss as my happiest moment—Dolly.

THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1922 Edited by Afro's Woman Editor—Every Reader of this Page is Invited to Contribute to it. The Baby Little bit o' babe with hands that not a task can do: Little bit o' babbling babe with tongue unschooled in talking. God was wondrous generous to visit us with you: God had seen the hunger that was gnawing at our hearts. God had heard the prayers that in secret we had breathed: God—himself, the fountain head whence all our loving starts— Sent you from His spirit land in golden glory wreathed. Ever since you came to us ourselves have been forget: Ever since you came to us we've gone to our home. Once our hearts were selfish—since you came to us they are not: Precious bit o' baby God has let us call our own: Soft-Soaps 'Hubby' There are so many ways for a loving, clever wife to do it: that it seems a pity so many resort to mugging and fault-finding. I can remember many instances when mother managed dad and the dear man didn't even suspect it. He was handy with tools. When anything was bad he promised to do it sometimes." Sometimes that someone comes in. Then mother would quickly remark within his hearing that she must get some neighbor who was a good worker to do the job. This always touched cakes, prizes and within an hour he was busy at work determined to prove he was as handy as Mr. So-and-So. However, this brand of managing won't work with my husband. Instead I and that bare, unadjusted battery does wonders with him. Perhaps not entirely a battery, either. I can host my niece and husband certainly have the love of them. Our baby always wonders happily when he sees baby coming. So I tell him how much better the baby likes to play with him than with me—result, much baby tending on the part of father. Also, I tell him what a fine figure he has and how much spenser he looks than this, or the other young man when he does 0. Conspectively he likes to go well-groomed. When something goes wrong with the car I ask how does he manage to find it so quickly. And he surely knows more about making the Ford than most mechanics. This may sound as if I am a clylic, grunting woman, but I have never been accused of that excepting by a sister-in-law who says I am too good to my husband. My advice is just try a little factory, it will mellow the goodness of husbands. When a man knows this wifi thinks he is about the only man, he'll try to justify her opinion. If you print this, please do not use my name, as I do not wish to tip off my hand to hobby.—Writing "Worker." Meek-Little-Wife They got on the train together—a meek little "Also can" wife and her gruff, dark giant of a know-it-all husband. He didn't help her up the steps. His credit, it must be admitted, that he was as sure that their suitcase might be able to his absent-mindedness or the presence of a quart inside. He lifted the suitcase to put it on the steel luggage rack overhead. And he grunted, that he knew what he was doing, when she suggested a fear that the heavy suitcase might break down the rack. She started to insult, but he snapped, cutting her off. So she settled in their day-to-day seats. The suitcase comfortably kept up in the rack and unseasonally ingested her shoulder as if preparing it for a blow. Again she ventured, "Dear, I'm afraid"—"Mind your own business, it'll hold," he crowded. Jang! The words were no sooner out of his mouth, than down came the suitcase. It struck squarily on his head, crushing his new derby hat. The rest of the journey was pleasant for the other passengers.—Y. O. U. --- Handy Hot Pan Holder The tape hanger on the corner of a hot pot holder is unsatisfactory. So are the celluloid or metal rings we buy and saw on. Often they are broken off when run thru the wringer on wash day. So I just put a small safety pin thru one corner of my holder to hang it up by. This is as handy as the rings and can be removed before wash day—Mrs. J. I. Greese. This Yarn Costs Nothing For many years all the daring gotta I have used has been the raided tops of socks or stockings. In this way the exact shade of thread make daring a pleasing job, if you wear the same colour most of the time. Labeled to children's ribbed stockings also make fine daring as it is usually stronger than what one buys—Mrs. S. L. Neely.

Carey street, costumed the recent Wheeler's Masked Heart Problems Assisted by Amie Bray Written by Linda Smith 16 "We are two girls, each 16, often have dates" together. "We come home from the youth program with us and we show them to kiss you unintentionally. We have always loved still we see no harm in it. Also, it is proper to go out motor-poking with young men without a chaperone." Don't let a young man kiss you to whom you should be offered, this practice should be reserved for the young man you are young or marry, besides any doctor will tell you that promiscuous kissing is dangerous to health as well as happiness. You are too young to go motoring with young men unless an older person is doing Trembled to Learn the Way "I am married, but two children that I love, very much, but I can not have a husband who is out every man and is very gourish if I go out, which I never do unless I take my children. There is a young man I do love with all my heart. He has gone away for a few years. He loves me and has asked me to want for his return, and I would love it. He has really done more for my husband has, and I have known this man for seven years. Should I try to forget him?" Forget this other man. Try to make your home a pleasant place for the sale of your children as well as for your own. I love your husband, heart, and your husband. Tell him much you and the little need him at home and ask him if he won't start all over again, for their sale. Your children will need their father more and more as the years go by.

I had been planting garden and gone in to prepare dinner. Looking out, I saw where my little amoetie was sitting in the garden digging a hole with the hoe. "What are you doing, sweetheart?" I called.

Week's Best Story Arvay will all but last confirmation in this column. American Story and the New York Times. The choir began the anthem. When they came to the line, "Noth- er are they afraid," the composer of the music had so written it that it had to be repeated first by soprano, then by the alto and finally by the bass. The soprano seemed to be con- spiratory taste and sang the line "Needher are they afraid." Apparently the alto had departed from the usage of her father's for when she brought out the word they became, "Nother are they arried," and it became a serious question which she the bass would talk. The bass was an Irishman, an polled his rich vote, "Naythee are the drunk," and the question remained unanswered—Aes. Olsby, Johnson. Elder Watkins of Muncy Hollow, just back from the city, was telling his wife of the church he had attended. "Did you know any of their songs?" asked she. "No," replied the elder; "they didn't sing anything but anthems. 'Anthems' examined his write. 'What is an anthem?' "Well," answered the elder, "I can't tell you just exactly, but if I'd ay to you, 'Betsy,' the cows are he corn, that wouldn't be an an- hem. But if I'd say 'Betsy-betsy, Betsy,' the cows—the cow, the Hol- tein cow, the mutley cow—the cow, the Jersey, all the cows re—are—the corn-corn-corn. Ah man! Why that'd be an an- them?" I was in a store one Saturday afternoon when a very well-to-do man came in and made a purchase. The price of the article was 29 cents and he gave the merchant a quarter. The merchant said, "I do not have a nickel, but I can give you five pennies. I'm on all right," the red pen opined, "that's all right, tomorrow's Sunday." I, 19, 8. The Wonder Hollo In a conspicuous place in the parlor of a country hotel was an inscription: "let on parle français." The proprietor was asked, "Do you peak French?" "Not me," the man replied, "United States is good enough for me." "Why do you have that inscription in the wall then, that means French is spoken here?" "You deftly mean it!" exclaimed the keeper. "Well, I'll be learned. A young child said that to me for "God bless our home!"—Q E.D. Is A Woman's Love Worth More Than A Man's? Is A Woman's Love Worth More Than A Man's? "Man's love is of his life a thing of part: "Tis woman's whole existence." I will answer the question and say "yes" for the following reasons: Although I am not married and do not know or understand as the married woman, still, I can state my opinions. Love may be defined as a feeling that nature has put upon men and women toward each other. A woman's love is worth more than a man's love, because a man goes to week or borgs all day and goes to a movie before going home, then goes home angry. I guess he is angry because he is living, I know no other reason. In the house people point to once the house open out from his children all day. If he doesn't see them, he doesn't know if they are dead or invaded. What woman is it that will do that? "Please point her out for me." The first thing she says after reaching the house is "Where are the children?" That's real love. She's never too tired to ask for her children or say something nice to her husband. While years that are past and even today you may pick up a paper at any time and see where a man has beaten his wife or killed his wife, be a worried love-hower. Do you think if he had thought the second time that white teeth would have faded, or that shot, be discharged from that buried thing you call a pistol? Take these things into consideration. Which love do you think is stronger? "No, I say 'no.' love doesn't have any effect upon the man. The gambler and drunker have so much love for their family they set the light of drinking and love." What woman would do that? I venture to say not one out of ten. Not saying there are not some honest, good-hearted men with real love have but only to say that the important love for their family, what man is that gets up all hours of the night to quiet some crying baby so that the wife may sleep? Not many. I dare say. They often will say "please make that child has land" and go back to sleep. I conclude the woman's love is valued at twice the value of the man's love. A HIGH SCHOOL PUPIL Bad.

In the first half, the St. Mary's tossers literally stamped the Junior "Greeks" who seemed to be perfectly helpless before the lightning loss, guarding, negotiating sets and flushing the leather sphere into the bottomless responder. St. Mary's boys were the "cats" James, and in order to "hold" them back, they had the entire Argros search ling the game, and finally went in. JAM but the case seemed hopeless, and when the whistle soothed for the midwesson cessation of hostility, he good 1 to 4 in the "Saints" favor. The score card at this stage of the game showed that the team on the long end had corroded 10 points, while the team on the one foul, while the "Greeks" had caged only one goal from the field and shot two fouls. Forward Baker being responsible for these four points, the whistle blew announcing the second half, the "Saints" took to the floor cooing confidence, while the "Greeks" came on with that grim determination in their faces that was characteristic of their opponent and that it at once became apparent that their opponent was going to and the going somewhat more enormous than it had_previously setting that this is the seacharity, they didn't allow Mary's boys to hardly get into the field, and take it away and dash in the floor toss it into the "basket," adding point int as the "Saluts" found out the floor unable to stop them. Only a few minutes of play the Junior Greeks forged into the eight additional hits the St. Mary's team had and the score is 23 all.

Captain Domeghy To Lead 1923 Eleven Washington, D.

At the close of the dinner, election was held by the Variety for the captain of the 1923 eleven.

New Association Formed As a direct result of the Afro Basketball League, which played its first game night night of this season, the Afro Basketball Association, Webb, Everett, E. Lane, Dr. William Harris and Leonard U. Gibson, formed themselves in an organization o' be known as the Afro Basketball Association. The purpose of this association is two-fold. First, it hopes to furnish arbitrators for all athletic games of such high calibre as to eliminate the necessity of using the officials in all colored activities. Second, at the beginning of the season for the various sports meetings will be held and demonstrations given in order to acquaint the interpretation of the rules. For Circuit CAMPFIRE GIRLS SPRING SURPRISE Stage Greatest 'Comeback' Ever Witnessed Here In A Girls' Basket Contest Defeating Crescents OUTCLASSED AT FIRST Wilmington Girls, Showing Greater Experience, Run Wild In First Half Staging one of the greatest 'comebacks' ever witnessed in a basketball game between girl lives, the Campfire Girls of the Sharp Street Community House nosed out outside Crescent Girls of Wilmington Del., in a sensational contest on the Community House floors last Saturday night; 13 to 12. About a month ago, the Campfire lashes engaged in their first match game, a preliminary, the opponent being the Oriole junior Girls which the Campfire Girls won in a walkaway 14 to 4. The form the Community House misses displayed on that opponent convinced us that that would eventually develop into an opponent to be reckoned with. But we did not expect to witness in a short time thereafter the brand of basketball they showed on Saturday evening. Extremely youthful and fond of that brand, that they were up against an aggregation that had both age and experience on them. Nothing daunted however, they went into the fray at the outset and apparently were giving the best they had. But it failed to stem the tide of the visitor's effort and the latter was able to surround the local misses, and had them standing still in their tracks, so to speak. When the first half ended the score stood 10-5 with the visitors on the long end, and proof. When the Wilmington High school had the visitors in tow, all schools We don't know what was said in the conference that the Campfire Girls held during the 8 minutes intermission, nor who said it. But the general examination on the part of the whole team expressed thusly: "let's go!" The whistle sounded and they began to "went." It didn't take the visitors long to realize that the team was happening, and they too fell to the fray with equal new resolve. With far less regard for bruises, bumps and abrasions than their brothers would have manifested, the two groups of contending lassies leaped up the walls or fell sprawling on the door in their death-like struggle for the leather spheroid with the local girls gradually getting the better of the argument. Little by little they crept up the walls, the visitors held and in a brilliantly guarded game proceeded to see that the latter was kept away from their goal as far as possible, and so well did they succeed in this latter that the Wilmingtonians got the upper hand, half a field goal by M. Safford. On the other hand, the Community House girls kept pegging away until they had gotten within three points of tying the visitors when only six minutes of play had left. From center by left guard Jackson put the Community girls within one point of tying the score. The enthusiasm of the fair-sized crowd of Campfire rooters which had been mounting as the game continued all bounds and became a tumult. As the bedlam-like dino echoed and re-echoed throughout the building the maidens pitched and froze. Five minutes, left, three two and then—the Community House roof blew into the air. A short heavy-set lass named Holmes, who had come into the game as a girl, had had thenceforth been playing a great game at right-guard, got her hands on the globule for an instante and realizing that the honor of her team hung in the balance flashed her towards the visitors' basket. The Wilmington guards leaped into the air at the same instance, but they were about a second late, through the netting for the two points that gave the Campfire girls the game. For the few seconds left, the Wilmingtonians funged the netting, and experienced they possessed, into the tray, but the Campfire lasses held them as in a vise, and when the final whistle blew, the roots surged, and the netting smothered the winners with congratulations, as Miss Elise Mountain beamed with inexpressible delight. The stars of the game besides the two guards of the visiting who shot three of the six field goals of her team, E. Parker and T. Carr of the Campfire Girls. Parker shooting two field goals and three fouls out through the netting and Carr's fine work at forward. Line-up C. Calhoun Girls 13, Crescent Girls 12 A. Mussenden Cap. R. F. G. Kelly T. Carr L. F.

TRI MUS SCALP TRAINING SCHOOL TRI MUS SCALP TRAINING SCHOOL Fast Community House Five Hammer Teachers Quint Into Submission, 24-18 The fast Tri Mus quintet annexed another basketball scalp last Friday night when they hammered into submission in a "gough and rumble," forus you please," every man for himself" sexton 24 to 15. The game for the most part parlayed with the proceeding was charged to the lack of a qualified referee. Mr. Oscar Simmons officiated during the first half, but when it was time for the "Trimus" favor, the Mount Streets declared that his rulings were listing heavily toward the Tri Mus and called for another game, this did not seem to be the case. All the recognized basketball arbiters present, had come from home without bringing their suit of armor, and having witnessed the rough andumble of the first half of life insurance company. Finally "scrapy" Brown who is famous for his leaps into the air at short notice, thought he could manage to keep out of harm's way by jumping over their heads and volunteered to accompany him. "scrapy" went in without the regulation pumps, but wearing his shoes, the teams decided to take no chances of him coming down on top of their heads, and thus curbed the "rough stuff" somewhat during latter rounds of the game. Todd, of the Tri Mus who caged four field basket by long shots from center, H. Brown also of Tri Mus who caged three field goals and Cooper and Hawkins of Training School, the former by some fast and agile players, and the latter in shooting, ringing three shots from the field.

Well, the whole truth is, that I have been so very, very busy along other lines of activity that I week to week found myself putting off writing until a week later, then a week later, and yet another week, until it has now been two or three months since I have written. The editor knows hundreds of Baltimore boys; it is not surprising that so many boys from that day that has become of the Boys' Column. "Mary, Cary, when our Aro comes, I look for your 'bull first,' said one boy. Another said, 'Gee, but your car is has week.' Was it so afraid you were going to tell on me in the paper, I nearly crooked. The Boys' Column first for mine to read, Yet, another exclaimed, 'Tosh, but I miss your who-struck-John in the Aro, especially your stuff about Eagle Eye. Some weeks ago I met a boy on the street who said, 'Hello, Mr. Carson, I need your stuff' and I mean that Eagle Eye do bunch. Has the whole blooming stuff gone to old Eagle Eye's funeral? On the car the other day one of my boy friends said, 'I know old Eagle Eye certainly must be dead' and some boy's African soup bone that he's dying. But if that guy ever turns up again and really gets on to any of my little tricks and tells on me, I believe I daint.' And so on. boys from all over Baltimore have been asking. Well, let's get down to business. The Editor met Mr. Harry Evans on Carnegie Hall, the night carriage under his arm a looking package. Of course the Editor passed a certain remarks about the package to which Mr. Evans replied. "O it's only some corn for chickens." "Corn?" replied the Editor. "The chickens of today drink corn too."

One of the most polite newsboys in Baltimore City is Master Goldie Smith, of School No. 116. A good salesman will never allow a customer to leave his eyes without saving "thank you." Master Smith does what all good salesmen do—when you buy a paper, out comes a nice jolly "thank you" from Mr. Smith. The editor has bought many papers from Mr. Smith, and has seen many others buy from him, but to one and then, he says, "math." He's lucky you say, out in a jiffy. If he's lucky you say, he just happens to have a good corner. Yes? Well, you may call it luck if you want to, but the secret to the luck lies in that he makes you "win" your man boy like Master Smith. I've seen people refuse to take a paper from mother newsboys, but walk straight to Master Smith and get their paper. A boy starting so young in business and to win such great success, he becomes the one of America's leading men of business of tomorrow. The Army congratulates Master Smith upon his true salesmanship and wishes him a long life and many golden years of success. Water Boys' Club organizes an orchestra, division At last week's meeting, briskling with enthusiasm and jammed full of pop, a number of boys from Baltimore, Md. and also from Fairfield, Md. met and organized a club orientation.

The amount to be covered is approximately $100,000. The Receivers have not yet reported on the assets and liabilities of the Mechanics Savings Bank, although it was reported that they would do so by December 1.

The American National Bank, which has accounted for amounting to $72,000,000, it lined other mortgages and Srand Theater Bank, to the amount of $125,000,000. Still it has brought suit for judgment against John Mitchell Jr. (60). The prosecution method, according to Mr. Mitchell, is the result of forty-five years' savings and most of it was purchased on a low market and was appreciated in valuation. The bank also pleaded to hit the Mechanics Savings Bank. Not a dollar of the bank's money was ever used by the president to promote his private interests. The bank's savers sacrificed to hit the position. As an evidence of this, he purchased 705 West Broad Street for the bank at $10,000,000, and then purchased it from the bank for $10,000,000. The profit went to the profit and loss account of the Mechanics Savings Bank.

Far from clearing up the reason for his action in the Urban trial, Commissioner Gaither, in a statement elsewhere in this issue, muddles the matter more. The Commissioner used the fullest influence of the Police Department in defending a patrolman charged with the entering a man's home and committing murder while off duty. His reason therefor in effect was that Urban had a good record, had told him a logical story and any failure on his part to testify at the trial in Urban's favor would have been viewed by the Court as an admission of his belief in Urban's guilt. The Commissioner knew of the true story of the crime Urban told the police officers who arrested him. He knew of the "framed" story Urban told after consulting counsel in this case said to have been Mr. Harry Wolf. In view of these facts, we submit that the Police Department must have known that Urban was a criminal and a murderer, and in its attitude and by its testimony put itself on record as defending and aiding a criminal and murderer, merely because he happened to be a member of the police force. ！.

Caught On The Run From the Logic Weekly Private Banks had been the most hostile and retiring little man in the army. When women visited the camp he had always fed for shelter and stayed there until after they had left. So it came to him, surprise, that former companions came across him in civilian garb and was introduced to a large, husky girl as Mrs. Banks.

This unbreak of barbarism, anarchy and degenerate hostility and the blood of the victim, has been the cause of these Southern senators who have obstructed even discussion of the measure designed to end lynchings. And the responsibility resists equally with the Republican majority who surrendered with hardly a struggle to the Lynching tactics of the Democratic The failure of the United States Senate to consider this measure could be interpreted by Bush unmodified. Every United States Senator knows that in more than thirty years the states have failed to check enclosing United States citizens. Every United States senator knows that in failing to stand firm for Federal protection and guarantee of trial by law to United States citizens with questions inquiring in the continuing and increasingly brutal rule of the mob in America. The National Association for the Protection of Children Colored People and hoped there would prove to be in the Congress of the United States sufficient statesmanship to make a stand against this threat to civilians.

Atogether our army leather program cost three quarters of a billion dollars.

A good American, citizen, person, the American people will walk to the great injustice. I hope they do before we wake up. How About It? In one respect the Harding administration is wasteful. The President shields hands with 1,150 men the other day when that energy now makes 156 millions of water or milk toows. Another thing this country needs is stocks guaranteed for 100 million just when the dark clouds are lifting comes the soil news that 171,600 cases of salmon have been packed. A strange bird fell on the Homestead, 1,000 miles at sea, couldn't have been the dove of peace. The Fort Worth boy who hands out quart of nitrocellulose will serve. Business men who are not caring much for these days hold a concession in Texas. Yes, they are men. A London man and woman married twice the same day, and the strongest thing about it is they are married each other both times. Once in a while the most interesting chance to play even an anna is raised a train in Illinois. A Los Angeles man fell off an foot cliff and got up and waded away. But it is a very bad holiday Christmas thought: If we are everything we wanted, when a earth would we put it. De Beah's Resepshun By Kennard Williams Grea' big doms in de county.

Could We Draw Back The Curtain Could we draw back the curtain Which surrounds each other's life There would not. I'm very sorry. We such bitter words and smile. Could we that curtain draw ask. And see the bears whim And see how each poor soul is trick Not even to admit a sin, one are weak and some are strong. For the Lord hath made us so, and if another does a wrong. It is not for us to know. For us to know or to condemn For a greater power than the Has marked the standard to the And our inmost thoughts can see.
