BLACK TROOPS LEAD INVASION INTO GERMANY French African Warriors Given Foremost Position In Occupying Ruhr Valley European Powers Depleted of Man Power Looking Toward Black Race for Cannon Fodder Essen, Germany, Jan. 18. (Crusader Service)—Two battalions of colored troops (supposedly Moroccan) are in the first detachment of French troops arriving here. The troops began moving about 5 clock this morning and at 10:00 clock the last Cannon entered the town. The vanguard of the invading force was followed by five more columns of cavalry, two battalions of light artillery and twelve tanks. The French placed machine-guns at the corners and sent son, Henry. Commander of the fahr, took up his headquarters in the Hotel Kaiserhof, and half an hour later the military officials visited the city officials and officially informed them of the occupation of the city. The French market requested billions for 10,000 troops. The French action in invading Germany to enforce payment of separation indemnities is considered here as inviting another world war, and brings up again the question of military reservoir from which to conscript a Protarian Guard that will not only be used against France's external foes on the continent of Europe, but against the French workers as well should there by any indication on their behalf be used to mobilize power of the bourgeoisie. Both America and Great Britain, their rulers more interested in the smell of oil in the Near East than in France's efforts to collect repatriation indemnities, are opposing British disapproval, has shown her disapproval by ordering the withdrawal of her force on the Rhine—a belated and wholly ineffective gesture so far as the French authorities are concerned. British officials diplomatically insisting French support in her schemes against the Turkish and Russian peoples, England, while officially opposed to the French action, is nevertheless giving it her consent and co-operation.

Exhibit at the hearing showed that Creech considered all girls he worked for him natural prey and that when the child repulsed him he not only brutally assaulted her behind locked doors in his home, but threatened to kill her if she made say utterly or divulge what had happened. According to a story told a reporter for this paper by Mrs. Williams, mother of the child, Josephine went to work at the Creech home on December 26th. A few days later he made advance and that girls who worked for him in the past had submitted to his demands. On January 10th, when other members of the family were absent, he locked the doors and forced her into submission, telling her that he would kill her if she told what had happened. When Josephine went home she stained to her mother that she was ill and that she did not want to go back to the French house where she lived. She called the child to Dr. W. F. Norvell, 119 N. Carrion avenue, whose examination showed a bruised assult, that she told the full story of her heretory by Creech. At this time her condition had made it almost impossible for her to walk, so she charged Creech, who is a married man, being held without bail for court action. When called to the attention of the state's Attorney's office by a representative of this petition it was stated that her mother had not been done fully into it would be given the most vigorous prosecution.

With apologies to Emile Cone, day by day in every way the Negro migration wave is getting larger and larger. Unless possessed of previous knowledge that the South is in the throes of a new exodus this fact would not be brought directly home to you from any unusual picture, presented on the railroads. The Jim Crow coach at all times is a replica of the New York subway train at rush hour. Therefore no special significance can be attached to crowded Jim Crow There is no way of differentiating between long distance travellers and those bound for intermediate points except by personal observation.

ROSCOE BRUCE SCORES LOWELL FOR PREJUDICE AT HARVARD U. Former Head of D.C Schools Says University Has Same Policy As Ku Klux COUNTRY-WIDE PROTEST Alumni Says Colored Students Should Be Admitted To All Dormitories New York, Jan. 16.—That Harvard University is not departing from its traditions in adopting the policy of excluding Negro students in residence in the freshman dormitories and that the policy will be continued, is the position taken by President A. Lawrence Lowell, in the World this week. It was learned yesterday from Dr. Lowell's statement in a second letter to Reserve Confiding Bishop, distinguished Negro graduate of Harvard. It was the recent barring of Mr. Bennett's son from the dormitory, not the former, not the former known in the World yesterday, that revealed that a definite policy had been adopted.

His son, who is at Phillips Exeter Academy, in the ordinals, courses could on him 1925 but his progress led his father to believe the boy might be ready in 1925. Understanding it is necessary to reserve rooms far in advance in the freshman dormitory at the time he be attended, the father wrote to the registrar for a reservation. The application was answered by President Lowell with the statement 10 was not thought different races to reside together. Three signers of a memorial drawn up last June by prominent Harvard graduates, protesting against what was then offered to them, were the traditional academic title of the university made in deference to Southern students, were at the conference with President Lowell at the Harvard Club on Wednesday, it has been uncertained.

Brooks Extols Deceased as Preacher to Fire the Soul With nearly 2,000 persons crowding Bunion Baptist Church, the funeral of Rev. Dr. Henry Johnson was held at Union Baptist Church Monday afternoon. In keeping with the wishes of the deceased, the utmost simplicity marked the obsequies. Rev. Dr. Henry Johnson read a memorial service, Dr. W. T. Coleman read the first Scripture lesson and, announced the first hymn. Samuel T. Hensley sang a solo and the hymn sung by the minister. Bishop John Hurst, of the A. M. E. Church offered the benediction. A resolution from the church was read by Dr. Reese Elliott. Dr. Walter H. planned his own funeral services which lasted only one hour. To a gathering that filled the church and contained many miscellaneous items, all teachers, lawyers, professional men and women and members, Dr. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, Washington, paid an elephant to the dead churchman and race man. His text was from Genesis 5:24, "And Enoch walked with God; and was not, for God took him." Dr. Brooks, who was an old friend of the deceased, spoke in part, as follows: Dr. Brooke Lacey Eckert "Dr. Harvey Johnson was soon to come into the forefront in the decade immediately following the emancipation of the 4,500,000 of slaves in this country. From 1812 till now he was a minister before the church. He was a preacher to the soul, a John Jasner, but cultured and learned. "Without desecit of any kind, he could let his convictions be known. He was a fighter for the race. I loved Harvey Johnson as a man who saddled the spiritual and other needs of his people. He was the peace officer old in spirit, and always keeping time with the advancing trend of the age. He was an independent thinker. I did not always agree with him, but I never failed to love him. Following the family to the grave in Laurel Cemetery were representatives of various organizations and ministerial ministers. There beside his wife and with flowers covering his grave his body was committed to its last resting place. Samuel T. Hemsley had charge of the funeral arrangements.

ROLAND HAYES NOT TO BECOME A BRITISHER Famous Singer Denies Report That He Will Marry And Settle In England Tells Afro, "I Hope I May Win Laurels In My Own Right" New York (Special) Jan. 17.—Dewing that he is going abroad to make his home in London or that he is going in money in near future, Roland Hayes, famous tenor, singer, gave a statement to the Afro-American yesterday before sailing in France on the Steamship Paris. A. Incidentally he let it he known that he is the first, having him colored. BRAND HAYES himself referred to as "the colored caruso," a title which was printed on the program of his concert given in Boston. In his statement, Mr. Hayes said, "Concerning the report that I am saying good-bye to America, is to land Hayes of Boston, is to land Hayes of London, and I am of the United States, and no more of the United States than of London or any other place on this earth. My mission is to travel to the United States, and he of universal importance. HASN'T FOUND GIRL YET "I have no plans of marriage for the near future, nor for the late. My marriage shall take place when I am married to you. I am for me, and I am not worrying about when or where. I am not talking my mother with me to Europe on this trip. I came home upon finding her in good health and spirits. I have left her in Boston. "Incidentally while here, I accepted two professional engagements—at the Symphony Hall, Boston, and the other was made a tremendous success by my friend, Mrs. Bouttrez France. In fact, both recitals were extraordinarily successful. I was extraordinarily successful. I was extraordinarily successful. "I have one regret, and that is that urgent business has caused me to forego my anticipated visit to Baltimore. However, I hope to return in the autumn and shall make it a point in my schedule of his visit. You say that I am particularly grieved that I had to miss Baltimore, although I have had a pleasant and profitable trip to the United States this time." NOT COLORED-CARUSO Asked whether he approved the reference to him as the good man of his Washington concert, Mr. Hayes, said "Caruso and McCormack are illustrious names, but the day when I shall feel it necessary to attach or prefix these names to mine to make a success, that day I will adduce that runs thus. A Good Wine Needs No Bush. I hope that I may win inlets in my own right."

BRUCE SCORES HARVARD'S "PREXY" FOR COLOR BAR of Dr. William Channing Gamett, who headed the original group of memorialists. Most of those who could be reached yesterday matured silence as to the exact nature of the discussion or the plans of the committee. It can be said definitely, however, that the attitude of the group was that no student should be barred from full participation in the student life of the university, and that the matter will not be dropped. Harvard alumni all over the country have been circumnutred, and there is still to be pledged a growing movement of protest against the action of the university and against what is felt to be a reversal of the institution's record of broad-mindedness. mechanical even arises OF COU I suppose that being college education, the same one. If the are applying of coaming is come when the class, campus, Of course. If it is fair not a deputy Hitherto the attitude A vigorous protest was sent to President Lowell yesterday by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, No. 79 Fifth avenue, on the ground that the traditional stand of Harvard has been one of the most liberalizing influences on the Southern racial situation, and that to deprive Southern student of their opportunity to know their fellow Negro students "the affairs of the country," the officers of the country. President Lowell, in his reply to Mr. Francis's protest, written last week, repeated and emphasized his decision, he wrote: I am sorry that you do not feel the reasonableness of our position about the Freshman dormitories. It is not a departure from the past to refuse to compel white and colored men to room in the same building. We owe to the colored man the same opportunities for education that we do to the white man; but we do not owe to him to force him and the white into social relations that are not mutually congenial. "YOULD INCREASE PRE-EDICE" We give him freely opportunities for room and board where ever it is voluntary but it seems to me that for the colored man to claim that he is entitled to have the white man compelled to live with him is a very unfortunate innovation which, far from doing him good, would increase a prejudice that, as you and I will thoroughly agree, is unfortunate and probably growing. On the other hand, to maintain that compulsory residence in the Freshman dormitories—which has proved a great benefit in breaking up the social cliques that did much injury to the college—should not be established for 1925 per cent. of the students because, the remaining one-half of 1 per cent, could not properly be included, seems to me unintended position. Regretting that we had not given more time the wisdom of the policy adopted for the Freshman dormitories, 139m. Mr. France, in a reply dated Jan. 9th, made an earnest plea that Harvard should not join in the growing rejudice which Dr. Lowell mentioned. The reply follows: Yes, the wind just now is blowing in the direction of increased prejudice toward Americans of African descent. The same phenomenon is observable in the case of Irish Catholics" and of Jews. But the course of high-minded leadership is not determined by the shifting values under no obligation, your inform me to "force" the matricolor and the white man into" social relations that are not or may not be, mutually congenial." The roaming of boys in the same building is the present case. When I go to New York City I stop at the Astor. Should I reach Boston tomorrow I should stop at the Parker House. In either of these buildings there may be at the same time men and women of pure Anglo-Saxon blood and tradition in the Southern Borough. We live among being under the same roof. We walk the same halls and shoes. We sit in the same lobby. A social relation is constituted thereby in the same sense that residence in the same block or city or State or Nation or riding in the same street car constitutes a social relation of a certain kind. But social-brithms are sometimes entirely voluntary on both sides. Social intimacy is no more compulsible in the case of the Freshman hall at Harvard than in the case of the hotel. Here are Smith from Texas and Jones from Mississippi. Hily-white Freshman, living in the same hall, does the university understory to the faculty of Jones, his social intimacy. Certify him. A college dormitory of know, is not a hotel, but on essential the amatory hold. Scullions and thieves sleep under the same roof with aristocrats and saints, but so social intimacy does not result necessarily nor does the question of the congeniality of the EAUTIFUL HAIR MAKES BEAUTIFUL WOMEN SOCIAL INTIMACY mechanical relation of abode even arise. "OF COURSE I PROTEST" I suppose that none may deny that being members of the same college class is a social relationship. Being members of the same university is certainly one. If the principle which you are applying to the present course is conceded, the day may come when it will be applied to the class, the classroom, the campus, the university itself of course. I protest. Is it fair to say that this "is not a departure from the past?" Hitherto Harvard—and it is not the attitude of a group of private persons but that of a renowned university affected by a public interest that is at issue—has looked upon the individual student as an individual and not as a racial symbol. It has extended to him all its facilities with exclusive regard not to his ancestry but to himself. And one not. I submit, determine questions of principle by percentages. Crested that the wind just now is blowing in the direction of reaction, does it behave a great and responsible centre of enlightenment thus caught like some paltry straw, in the gust? If the way to resume payments is to resume gas Grover Cleveland pointed out on clarity, the way to lead is not to follow. LIKENS POLICY TO THAT OF KU KLUN A former President of Harvard has set forth weighty some of the considerations that lead to the belief that our American democracy may endure. But a policy that officially recognizes and sanctions and accentuates racial incompatibilities among the diverse elements of our population continues not to the stability of our institutions. Access if you will, upon the bristleman (not forgetting the "Roman Conquest" of Massachusetts mentioned by Mr. Marcy), or the low or Negro the idea that the oldest and nobest of our universities shares the conviction of the Klu Klu Klan that, no matter what his charm and gift and serviceability as an individual he can be no full-fledged American because of the very blood in his veins, you manufacture griefs in the present and prepare for the future... And I speak not as a radiant, but as a conservative. James Weldon Johnson, as Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, wrote President Lowell in part: "May I be permitted to amend your statement so that it will accord with the facts? Your statement should read: "I am sure you will understand why, from the beginning, we have thought it expedient to provide different races to reside here." INTENSIFIES THE PROBLEM May 1 further suggest that Harvard's surrender of its tradition and the tradition of liberal America to the slaveholder's prejudice intensifies the very problem which you as Harvard's spokesman are professing to meet. Such amelioration of race problems as has been brought about in this measure through Southern students who were met in Northern universities by an unfulfilling affirmation of the equality of all men in the realm of the arts and of learning. One of the most liberalizing influences on the Southern racial situation has been that the traditional stand of Harvard has offered to Southern white students, the opportunity of coming to know as human beings their fellow colored students with whom they were associated. Deserve those Southern students the opportunity to learn the tolerance that comes of living with and understanding men of all races, men with whom they will have perforce to live and mingle in the Unite States, and Harvard University helps mightily to darken the future of the United States' for by capitulating to anti-Negro prejudice in the freshman dormitories of university that produce and strengthen it and is but putting into effect the program predefined by the infamous Ku Klux Klan.

About 49,000 non-cooperates are today in jail. They consider themselves as martyrs for their country and when impeached in the law courts they refuse to die. They are also accused of witnessing. They also refuse to pay fines and they voluntarily go to jail. Sometimes they proclaim a hunger strike and when some of them are liberated, they gladly repeat the offence and are in jail. They are also accused of insulting the jail authorities for ill treatment and for supplying men with bad food. The jails are already overcrowded and the government experiences a Herculean task to battle with those Gandhikas in a psychologist's prison.

RODLEDER IS REFERRED At the hearing Friday Magistrate Rabbileder severely criticized the Washington office for sending out colored men to enforce the prohibition law. "Washington should use more direction," he stated, in sound Negroes to this city to enforce the prohibition laws. Some of them present the appearance of Jacksack-equipped with Man O' War Sabbler. To this Agent Davis, white, replied, "It is not for you to say what the Washington office is to do." STAFFORD A DENTIST Stafford, according to the agents connected with the department, is one of the best trained men in the service and his work has been efficient and his department of Honorate Department of Honorate University and is earning sufficient money in Government service to start himself in his profession. Members of the Department's state of that evidently Magistrate Rohleder was so blinded by prejudice that it was impossible for him to regard with fairness and justice, even upon the bench, any case involving a colored officer. Attorney Amos W. Woodcock, United States District Attorney, who is alleged to have advised the issuing of the warrant, stated that he did not so advise unless the facts in the case were very conclusive. NORTHWESTERN CO-OPERATES According to Stafford, while some of the police in the department have co-operated with the effort to enforce the prohibition laws, partially the Northwestern district there seem to be an unfair feeling in cases where his wife is involved. He was seen to be the Government perform his duty, which he has done and cannot understand the kind of attitude exhibited by Magistrate Rohleder unless it is purely racial prejudice. "It seems as if they are trying to get me somewhere," he said. Since coming to 'this district he has made a number of arrests and has done work leading to many others. COLORED FOLK CROWD J. C. CARS COMING NORTH COLORED FOLK CROWD J. C. CARS COMING NORTH Continued From Page One the South that they get on a train for the North with less than a dollar in their pockets after having bought a through ticket. Learning of their financial straits, frequently sandwiches and soda pop are supplied them by generous follow-passengers. The majority of those being drawn North on the crest of the present wave have very little use for trunks. A family, consisting of from three to eight, convey their belongings in bulging suit cases of various sizes, colors and texture. There are instances of course, of families selling bread, burgers and household effects ahead. Their financial status, however, is above that of the average deserving the South. Tell Their Stories The volatility of the migrant, particularly to one of his own race, has its pathetic appeal. In less than ten minutes you learn a life's story, perhaps somewhat crudely related but full of human interest and narrated with childish simplicity. Inability to earn a decent livelihood, coupled with the reaction after years of pent-up resentment and dissatisfaction, the patient reasons for shaking the dust of the Southland. These artless travelers possess an imagination elastic as that of a child of six indulging in fairie reveries amid the visit of Santa Claus, Crossing the Mason and Dixon Line to them is akin to entering another world. With sparkling eyes and faces wreathed in smiles they tell you with a display of animation what is nearest to their minds and hearts—of a bonsing to live in the land and of a favorite pastime and where once discrimination in its various forms is not so pronounced. One of the strange features of the present exodus is that Negroes began leaving South at the advent of cold weather. Heretofore assertions have been made time and again that while the Negro went North during the spring and summer months he, nevertheless, found it advisable to return before winter set in. But the North winds, sleet and snow seem to be more compatible than lynching. Jim car and other oppressive menus "to keep the Negro in his claws." 50,000 Have Gone It is conservatively estimated that over 50,000 Negroes have left the Southern States for the North West and Middle West within the past ninety days, and they are leaving on every train. From the Mississippi and Arkansas defias fully 15,000 have gone, Georgia comes. Florida, Texas and Alabama each furnish an imposing quota in order named. Whether the exodus will gain impetus or soon give evidence of having spent its force no one can fortell. The situation is puzzling, giving farmers, business and professional men grave concern. Farm owners in many sections face disastrous financial losses in the immediate future, for acres have been left untillled. Groups of farmers have entered that there may be a repetition of conditions during the war when 500,000 Negroes migrated northward.

COHEN IN D. C. TO FIGHT FOR APPOINTMENT "Money Is No Object To Me," Louisiana Politician Tells President Harding NAME IS BEFORE SENATE Senator Weller Declares Committee Will Recommend Confirmation Washington, Jan. 18.—Whether or not Southern white opposition is to triumph against the confirmation of Walter L. Cohen as Controller of Customs at New Orleans remains to be seen. The Harding Administration announced at its beginning a continuation of the Tart policy of not appointing colored men to high Federal office in communities where whites made objection. This meant no colored jobholders in the South. It is learned that Mr. Cohen saw President Harding early last summer and was offered a big position here. He declined, saying that he always worked for the Republican party in Louisiana and desired appointment there. President Harding said he was Mr. Cohen told him that stand, and furthermore whites in Louisiana might object to his appointment, Mr. Cohen is said to have told the chief executive that he did not need any job for the money that was in it, being in business. His name was seen to the Senate just before questions. Governor Parker raised objection on the ground that Mr. Cohen is a Negro. The two United States Senators from Louisiana also joined in opposition. Mr. Cohen arrived here a week ago in the interest of his fight for confirmation. Of all the first men he saw was Senator Weller, of Maryland, a member of the committee that is considering the nomination. The Senator is reported as saying he favored a favorable report as the opposition to Mr. Cohen is only on the ground of his race. Position Pays $5,000 The position pays $5,000 and is much sought after. Mr. Cohen was first made a recess appointed by President arding and went into office immediately. Under the law his name was submitted to Congress before it recessed for Christmas. When Congress adjourned without acting, Mr. Cohen was automatically removed from office again. President Harding sent the nomination back early this month. GOES FREE ON MURDER CHARGE Court Decides Parker Killed Smith In Self-Defence LATER STARTED ARGUMENT Renewed Trouble After Be-ing Ejected From Place By Parker Mack Parker, 1721 Maryland avenue, who on Thanksgiving night, December 30th, shot and killed James Smith Jackson, 211 E. 22nd street, in Parker's lunch room, was freed in Part I of the Criminal Court on Monday of the charge of the murder. Testified that Jackson was parked in Parker's place and finding some women seated at a table, stated, "I don't like black women; I would rather pay a yellow woman's fire to Philadelphia than to show a black woman to the station." A quarrel with the women resulted and Jackson was ejected from the place by Parker. Several minutes later Jackson returned, and attempted to cut Parker with a knife. The latter then first the bullet which ended his life. Evidence produced for the defense showed that when Jackson left the place he made several attempts to burrow a pistol and knife, stating that was going to get even with Parker. Mrs. Leah Jackson, wife of the stain man, testified that her husband had no weapon at the time he entered the place, but overwhelming testimony for the defense developed a strong case of self-defense for Parker, and Judges Stein and Amber sitting jointly in Part I remanded a verdict exonerating him from blame. MURDER WON'T HALT GARVEY TRIAL FEB. 5 New Orleans Police Still Hold Two for Killing Dr. Eason, Chief Government Witness REPORTS OF INTIMIDATION Federal Agents Link Accused With Garveyites in N. Y.; Protection Promised New Orleans, La. Jan. 17—Department of Justice agents investigating the killing of the Rev. J. W. H. Eason, pastor of Zion African Methodist Episcopal Church of New York, have direct evidence against two Jamaicans, "Chief of Police" and "Patriotian" for the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but thus far they have not been able to penetrate the veil of reticence which is raised whenever they attempt to bring Mr. Marcus Garvey into the case. The police say that before his death Eason charged that Garvey, self-styled President of Africa, had inspired the assassination in order to remove a witness in the mail fraud cases growing out of the investigation of the affairs of the Black Star Steamship Line, a subsidiary of the Garvey Association. The minister was to have left the morning of Jan. 2., for New York, where the Garvey cases were scheduled to go to trial. He preached in a church in New Orleans a black army from New York, two men stepped from an alley. Eason turned and they opened fire. One bullet entered Eason's head and the other his back. Will Shakespeare, the "POLICE Chief" of the association, according to credentials found in his room and Fred Dyer, "Patrolman," were arrested two days later. Dr. Eason died before he could identify the prisoners, but three witnesses furnished the police with positive identification. Shakespeare and Dyer have maintained silence solidly declaring they are innocent, and denying they were sent to New Orleans to kill Dr. Eason.

ALAGA UNITED STATES OF AMERICA SYRUP Allium Sativum Krupp Received in Baltimore The first shipment of Real ALAGA Cane Syrup has just reached Baltimore, right from where the Sugar Cane grows. It is going fast to make "Real Joy" with Hot Cakes and Hot Biscuits for those who know its quality. Persons from Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Maryland especially prefer it over all other syrups; and can tell you about the "goodness" of Real ALAGA Cane Syrup. Then too for fancy baking and candy making it has no equal. ALAGA Cane Syrup is the entire juice of the Sugar Cane plant bolted down to syrup, with nothing added, except a very small portion of corn syrup to prevent sugaring in the can. The quality is therefore near that of maple syrup at only half the price, but with a very different flavor. Ask your grocer for the Real ALAGA Cane Syrup. If he does not have it, ask him till he gets it for you. Until then the following stores can supply you: Baker Brothers 1101 McCullah H. Hollisley 1012 N. Eutaw M. Brilliant 1000 N.

V. K. Gopalakar Agar A Colored Brother in India Madras, India, Dec. 29, (By Mail) The one topic, which tilts up the columns of most of the newspapers in India today is the non-agitation propaganda engendered by "Mahatma" M. K. Gandhi, who at present is undergoing a term of six years simple imprisonment in a British jail in India. Nearly two hundred years of British rule in India has now been ended in insurrections. John Boll imparted to the ingenuity first class English education to the people and taught them the entire of a moral and just government. Railways were constructed, roads were made, industry and commerce increased and the land was appropriated to some of the highest places in the service of the government and then sat side by side with British officials and administered justice to their own countrymen. When the Habele John Company Islander, who were governing over all his lands, was appointed to the office of the government to oversee the Good in 1858 the latter acted other things performed: "That no native of the said territories, nor any natural-born subject of His Majesty resident there, shall by reason only of his religion, place of birth, descent or occupation, hold any place, office or employment under the said Company." "And it is our further will that, as far as may be, our subjects, of whatever race or creed, be freely and impartially admitted to others, and may be qualified, to their education, ability and integrity due to discharge." The educated Indian now finds that the terms of the Queen's proclamation are not acted upon by the present government but by the government of the state, necessary, informal, wicked, satanic, high places in the government carrying with them princely entitlements are entirely monopolized by a white bureaucracy whose salaries have to be paid from the revenue levy upon the people India is drained of industrial resources in Indian money goes to England. The Indian tax payer has to pay the pensions of all the European retired officials and also subsidies to H. M. the Amir of Afghanistan and for various other purposes. The increase of taxation is high, the Indian possession of other foreign countries, the Princes and the people of India are asked to help with men and money, but when the victory is won, the Indians are in the same place where they were before. Indians are not allowed to carry arms, while Europeans and their mixed offsprings, the Euro-Asians, who are characterized as the living embodiment of European adultery with the Asian women, are allowed to carry arms. Discontent, disloyalty, revolt, followed and under the mandate of Candhi, thousands of Hindus and Mohamedans joined in a non-cooperation movement with the government. The result was that all our India, thousands of our students from colleges and schools, received respective positions and the officials continued on Page 2.

Levi Miller Says His Lecture Was Not Correctly Reported In Last Week's Afro To the Editor: The article published in last week's issue of the Afro-American entitled "Minsters who play Church Politics" is an incurred and misleading account of an illustrated lecture on blacks-on-district delivered before the AAC's speakers' Meeting on the 10th last I not only did not consure ministers who play church politics, but I made no reference to politics in the church. I said nothing about the manner in which desirable appointments are secured nor the methods employed by those who seek to be elected delegates to the M. E. General Conference. Only one minister objected to the lecture, and it was quite obvious that he had reasons other than those which he gave for his objection. This may have been the cause of the reporter reporting what he did not see of the lecture, and what indeed, was quite related from my purpose in giving it. I consider the article sufficiently incorrect to ask you please to publish this statement in this week's issue of the Afro-American, and to give it the same prominence as was given to the article referred to.

The Drake and Walker Bombay Girls' Company entered upon their second week as the stage attraction at the Regent on Monday to a crowded audience. A first part comprising songs and dancing by principals and chorus and an after-plece dealing with a haunted house composed of ceping this week. As announced last week, Butterbeans and Susie are back with the company this week and succeeded in stirring real enthusiasm, especially the comedy antics of Butterbeans, which were added to by his close-fitting purple suit and miniature derby hat. Susie also won a fine band for her "blues" numbers. The chief comedy work is done by Drake in the haunted house skiff, in which he is ably assisted by Butterbeens. The writings of these two comedians, the funnakers, and kept the audience rocking with merriment all the time they were on the stage. Miss Walker rendered one song number nicely and looked charming in her gowns, while Madam Henrietta Loveless as prima donna of the aggregation received her usual attention for her singing, her special offering being "Love Will Find A Way." Other members of the company whose performance stands out are: Willie Drake, Louis Danbridge, Margaret Beckett, Helen Battle, Vioia Roberts, Eva Gould, Gladys Burt, Ida Archer and James Rutherford. The Drake and Walker Jazz Orchestra composed of Irving Pugghley, director and pianist; Frank Green, cornet; Robert Smart, trombone; Claude Curry, saxophone, and Cliffon Drake, traps, again scored heavily by their skilful playing. They also play in front of the theatre before every performance. Pictures complete the bill.

But the same generosity on the part of Nature has from time to time been recognized as inherent in men who occupied other fields of endeavor, by reason of the success they have achieved in their particular line. The truth of this latter phase of the question is strikingly exemplified in the case of Mr. Henry Drake, of Drake and Wiley Bombay Girl's Company which has been the stage attraction at the Regent Theatre for the past two weeks. During the sojourn of this very capable company at the Regent, hundreds of theatre-goers have enjoyed the comedy gifts of the little conning us well as cleverness of the talented people with whom he is surrounded himself. It is not natural that this should be so, for Henry Drake is a "born showman." Entered Show As Kid He began the show business as a kid in Dallas, Texas, where he was born by giving amateur "shows" for which the admission fee was pins and buttons. As he grew older he took to the publicity field by doing advertising work for entertainments of various designs, which consisted of a dinky about town and blowing a huge, flame. He was the foundation of his corner training, of which is in evidence in his playing with his jazz band. His first real show venture was made at a skating rink in his hometown in conjunction with Sandy Burns, the comedian whose company filmed a several week's engagement at the Regent Hall. About this time he, by Miss Ethel Walker and they were married. She had had a stage experience when she was ambushed to him to advance and started to learn the work. They went to Oklahoma City, where they recruited their own company and opened the Vale Theatre. From that time on they continued to perfect themselves in the producing field, playing engagements in many cities of the West and Middle West, among which were St. Louis and Chicago, the engagement in the latter city taking place at the old Pikin Theatre, the pioneer "colored" theater of the country, as this, connected the idea of a "jazz band" and his four-piece band on the occasion of his Chicago invasion was the wonder of the town as it paraded the streets for such sheer audacity. Company Plays Year Round How well they have succeeded may be gathered from the fact that today, their company is in greater demand than any tax organization in the business. They are great favorites in the white theaters throughout New York State, the English and New York City. He gave his layoffs and plays from 60 to 52 weeks the year round. Where most of the companies play from one to three days in this class of houses, Mr. Drake says his company plays from one to two weeks. Whatever nature gave him as a talent for the show business, Mr. Drake insists himself that are facts of conclusion of all successful endeavor. Show folk in general who read this will do well to heed them; First, he keeps his word with managers; secondly, he treats the people he employs like he would have them to treat him if he were employed by them; thirdly, he told them the whole story was just like a big family and that the girls of the show took their example from Mrs. Drake. Consults Mrs. Drake Thirdly, he studies his audiences and tries to give them what they want, not what he thinks they ought to have, and fourthly he caters to the women and children offering nothing that is unit for their cars. And above all, Mr. Drake, attributes his success to the helpful cooperation of his wife. Every phase of business that concludes the company they discuss to together, he helps them for 15 years and still consult each other. Remarkable you say, men? Well, you see them, Dr. Drake?

Bronze Frederick Douglass Medals To Be Given Away by the Afro on Feb.14th Children All Over the State Sharpen Pencils to Write Stories on Douglass The plan of the Arno to give away 300 handsome bronze medals with the bust of Frederick Douglass on one side in has-relief has created interest among Arno readers everywhere. Hardly was the last week's issue on the streets, when the first letter came in with a Frederick Douglass sign on it. So many inquiries have come in as to the conditions of the story campaign that they are being restated again this week. Remember, no story is to be more than 250 words, plainly written on one side of the paper. You may write about any feature of the life of Frederick Douglass that you wish. You can get your information from books on Frederick Douglass, from the Public Libraries or from talking with some of the older people who knew Douglass. Here are some types of Douglass stories: EPED DOUGLASS IN "It is that that Frederick Doughless was born in Talbot County near Easton, on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, on February 12, 1817. Doughless never was certain that the date was correct. However he was sent to Baltimore as a slave boy of ten years, and from Baltimore made his escape to freedom, so that Baltimore has a claim as the home city of the Great Frederick. Doughless remained in Baltimore until he became of age, working in a shipyard on South caroline street, in the neighborhood of the wharf where excursionists used to board the Steamer Starlight for a trip to Brown's Grove. Here he was apprenticed to seamen of the habit of sailors, who were waiting to wait on them. There Frederick, bring me some mails: "Here, Fred, I want some mails: "Fred, bring me some water." Sometimes all called on him at once, and poor Fred hardl, knew whom to obey first. Here in Baltimore Douglass resolved to make a break for liberty, and on September 3, 1838, got safely away by using false passports to New England, where at last he was a free man: DOUGLASS LAST APPEARANCE IN BALTIMORE Among those who will never forget Frederick Douglass are the members of the graduating class of the Baltimore Colored High School in 1894. Mr. Douglass delivered their commencement address in the Academy of Music. Henry T. Pratt made a plea for a new high school: William H. Lee was the valedictorian. The Alumni medal was awarded Nellie Thompson. Other graduates were Frances Murphy, Laura Campbell, Cecil Martin, Ester Campbell, Cecil Watkins, Henry Harris, Mayor John Robbe made a speech and handed down the graduates. Mr. Douglass came over from Washington, accompanied by his son, and was escorted by Hiram Watty and Rev. Wm. H. Weaver. He was given an ovation by the audience when he arose to speak, and advised the graduates to think of themselves as men and women and not as Negroes or colored people. He said: "I have always attached more importance to manhood than to mere identity with any variety of the human species." Fifty-eight policemen were stationed before the theatre to keep the crowds back. FRED DOUGLASS' DEATH According to the APO-AMERICAN when Fred. Doughless died, there was universal mourning throughout the World. city. Bibn. graphs will be made and inserted in this column so that anxious boys and girls can get a sight of the handsome and expensive gift that is to be theirs on Fred. Douglass' birthday.

When James Green, 675 Vine street, was hailed into Criminal Court last Friday charged with desertion and non-support by his wife, Mrs. Addie Green, he had the time of his life explaining the sleeping arrangements in the new home in which he had been adopted on leaving Mrs. Green. When the problem no longer solved Mrs. Green offered Mrs. Cornelius Wilmore, the woman in the case, sleeping every night in a chair. The trouble between the Greens dated back several months but did not get acute until Mrs. Green discovered that Mr. Green had become interested in "another woman" at 675 Vine street where he had gone to board. Then loss of things happened. After all of the rooms in the home at 675 Vine street had been polled and all available space accounted for, Mrs. Green will still the sleeper of Mrs. Wilmore for account. When pushed closely Green stared that she sat up every night in a chair. He was found guilty and ordered to pay his wife a weekly allowance. Booze Game Did Not Work. A little plan to get a supply of "grid water" on Wednesday of last week on the part of Thomas E. Chaney, 1605 Millman street, a sub-letter carrier in the post office, went to muggle. Spotting an automobile driven by a man in which he thought in the booting business, he nabbed the outfit, declaring that he was a prohibition agent. The man happened to be a little larger and stronger than Chaney was and when the scuffle was over he found himself waiting for the patrol with stars spilling about his office to Magistrate - Stanford in the Central Police Station for impersonating an officer. Policeman Smells Chickens. Benjamin Brown, 110 Home street, meant to have good tasting chickens for his breakfast, dinner and supper Sunday, but he did not calculate that they would smell so on Saturday as he was taking them home that Officer McMahon of the Southern Police District would be attracted by them. Brown had succeeded in getting away with six nice juicy birds from a South Baltimore hen house and after picking them, he wrapped them in plastic with the cover of Sunny "big pars" he had not the policeman. One "sniff" by the policeman and all was over for Brown. Instead of eating chickens Sunday he was in the jail house waiting for the action of the Grand Jury. Have Lying Contest. When Terrence Broomes, E. Fayette street, told his wife to take him to court if she wanted to; that he could lie as well as she could, she called his bluff and not only took him to the Northeastern Police Station on a charge of deserition and non-support but according to the judge, beat him "lying." "Judge, he gave me $15 Christmas and since then he has been acting queer. Then he began to raise cain and told me he could beat me lying anywhere I took him to course my lies the true, cruel, bad IFS is lying." Evidently the judge believed her for hereafter Mr. Broomes will have to toe the line. Did Big Day's Shopping. When Miss Rose Johnson, 1233 E. Monument street, decided to fit herself up for the rest of the winter she decided to do it right. Police declare she went into the clothing store of Harry Koezis, who was wearing herders herself to two black dresses valued at $50. *black dress* ```markdown ``` Proctor, 2103 Mayer street, Genesee Sewell, 123 S.

SELF DEFENSE HIS PLEA Witness for State Admits She Had Intended to Marry Slain Lover Fortune-selling, which disrupted the peaceful existence of Miss Roselyn Red and her two boarders, Hugh Armstrong and Oscar Cromley at 1097 N. Wolfe street, finally ended in the death of Armstrong and a verdict of second-degree murder for Cromley, his skier, in part 2 of the Criminal Court on Wednesday of last week. The crime for which Cromley was convicted took place on the morning of November 14th. While the two men were standing in front of the Wolfe street home engaged in an argument, the fireman fired a bullet, which penetrated the chest cavity of Armstrong causing immediate death. Told His Fortune The trouble started, according to testimony developed at the trial when Miss Red, with whom Army strong lived as boarder, took Cromley as a cooperator in her home. It was brought out that Miss Red and the dead man was engaged to be he when she had gone on to church and was somewhat late in returning. Cromley suggested to Armstrong that he be allowed to tell his fortune. In this reading Cromley is alleged to have stated that Miss Red had not really gone to church at all but had number six visited her monster of jealousy which caused a temporary disruption of the herefore peaceful love affair. Told Her Fortune Too Cromley's fortune-telling did not stop here. Some time later when Hugh Armstrong had gone on for the evening Cromley suggested to Miss Red that he give her a reading. At this time he stated to her that Armstrong was nowhere near home and was missing. This caused another tangle in their love affair and when note were compared it was decided that the best thing to do was to get rid of the fortune-teller. This was done and Cromley was asked to find himself another rooming place. It was sometime following this that Cromley came back to the Wolfe street home to get his mail Armstrong to at the door and after an encounter with him the shooting occurred. In his own defense Cromley stated that when he went to get his mail Armstrong threatened his life and that it was when he started towards him with a drawn knife that he drew the revolver and fired the fatal shot. Police officers in the shooting and who came immediately upon the scene found no weapon of any kind and a search of the house did not show the presence of a pistol. Miss Roselyn Red, who on the witness stand gave the appearance of refinement and used unusually carefully selected works in her studied statements, admitted that she had expected to some day unarry the dead man. OSMAN Woman Tells Afro Report- er Belt Was Designed To Draw Men's Love Leo S. Osman, white, 100 W. Lafayette avenue, well-known among colored people as a soler of charms and luck devices to cure diseases and straighten out domestic and love affairs and work other wonders, has been caught in the meshes of the Federal authorities. On Monday he was indicted by the United States Grand Jury charged with using the mails to defraud. While the specific charge against Osman is sending fraudulent advertisement matter in letters through the mail, they grow out of cases that they have had their money to the wonder worker without satisfactory results. For a number of years Osman has reaped a rich harvest among both white and colored patrons by selling charms, lucky stones, roots and incense burners designed to relieve all kinds of trouble. Some idea of the kind of stuff gotten over on gullible patrons may be gleaned by the fact that one woman told an Anvo reporter that she sold Osman for the love of her sweetheart. She was told that by wearing this belt it would draw the love of the men. Another woman stated that she was given a root to chew and was told to take a small piece daily, and after chewing it spit it out, and that this performance would surely bring back the loss of affection of the man she wanted. The curing of diseases and the keeping away the evil effects of theunity of others were among the things made by Osman for which he took in thousands of dollars. After pleading not guilty he was released on $1,500 bail furnished in Liberty Bonds by his 7ife. Mrs. Francis Osmann, and his trial in the United States District Court was set for February 5th.

The writer then visited Mrs. Phillips in her home and got the following story: "I have been suffering from female troubles for a long time and instead of getting better, I gradually got worse and the doctors at the hospital told me I would have to be operated on. "I went to the hospital for the operation and several doctors began to examine me. I heard the chief surgeon inquire about the medicine which had been given me. He told the doctor that he should have used Herbs of Life, because he had known it to cure hundreds of cases like mine. That was enough for me. Just they turned their backs to left. My wife was home I bought a battle of Double Strength Herbs of Life.

Like most men in the shadow of the hangman gallows his mind seeks ease in the highest form of human expression— GETS THREE YEARS FOR RAISING BILLS William Ruth, $23 Carrollton avenue, was sentenced to three years in the Federal Penitentiary at Atlanta, by Judge Rose Saturday after a jury had found him guilty of raising a number of $1 bills to $10 moneys and passing them. The ex-emission of the bills alleged to be passed by Ruth was brought to the attention of the Federal authorities when Samuel Millstone, white, a grocer at 319 W. Madison street, gave one of them to Magistrate Stanley in payment of a fine in Traffic Court. Shortly afterwards Ruth passed another of those bills on Hammick Millstone. It was not until a second attempt to pass a bill on Millstone that he was unhoched and arrested. In some of this poetry sent by Hawkins to this paper recently he still maintains his innocence and indicates that he has made his peace with God. It is known that he has been given spiritual advice by Rev. Junius Gray and others, and that there is still hope that his sentence will be reduced. Governor Ritchie has not yet given a decision, nor fixed the date of execution. The following verses were taken from twelve sent to the Aero-American: The day that I was sentenced, The Judge said I must die; And that is not the sentences for such a pleading cry. I am trusting in my Saviour, That's all the help I know; It makes me feel much braver; So Him I must adore. May God bless all you people, Who judge me by your thoughts; May He wake all you sleepers, And cast your thoughts to mought. notes in a pocket-book in his home. This, with the identification made by Motto and 'Millstone' made a strong case against him. The motive used by Ruth was to tear ciphers from other bills and carefully parse them on $1 bills, thus raising them to $10 bills. Thus were changed out-of-the-way places where notes were not likely to be notated. A number of these bills were put into circulation. FACES SERIOUS CHARGE BY HIGH SCHOOL GIRL Upon charges preferred by Miss Thelma Harris, 646 Dover street, a former High School pupil, that George Johnson, 649 W.

Human nature in extremity grabs help from any source. "Men got used to revolvers during the war, living with guns and carrying them with them continually" says Police Commissioner Gaither explaining the increase in murders last year. All right Commissioner, but how about the women? They did not go to war. We Suggest A Pair Of Spectacles.

Mr. Editor, get busy with your pen, and keep this race of ours informed on something. To waste such an opportunity is almost criminal." If the Courier scribe missed this editorial column, set as it is double column in ten point type, he needs spectacles, badly. Kelly Miller's Call.

No one could better have issued a call to national religious, social, political and economic organizations among colored people to meet for a conference than Dr. Kelly Miller of Howard University. Dr. Miller enjoys the confidence of his countrymen to an unusual degree, and when his official announcement goes forth, it is certain to meet with ready response. The times are out of joint and the dissatisfaction with the Republican Administration is nation-wide. What is more natural then, than that these national organizations get together and plan a national political program for the Negro. If we pull separately, says Dr. Miller, we pull to pieces. Harvard's 100 Per Cent Americanism In drawing the color-line and excluding Negroes from Freshmen dormitories, President Lowell may claim that Harvard University is not violating tradition. This action, however, coming so close to his decision to limit the number of Jews in the University would make it appear that the tradition of Harvard and the principles of the Ku Klux Klan are nearly one and the same thing. There but remains for President Lowell to trown on Catholics and he will be eligible for full membership in the new Klan of the Kluxsters, recently reported established in the Harvard "Gold Coast."

The decade following the Civil War produced a number of sterling characters who wrote their names in flaming letters in the hearts of Baltimore. Among them none was of nobler and finer stuff than Dr. Harvey Johnson. In his younger days a preacher to fire the soul, in his older days a venerable priest and shepherd who kept his flock intact thru a half century. He was a thinker, a scholar and a writer, but with it all a man who guided and directed the work of the community. Dr. Johnson saw the need of colored lawyers at the bar and had them admitted; he saw the need of teachers in colored schools, and placed them there. His was a life brimfull of labor and service for others. No need is there for a monument to such a giant character. His church, his denomination, his community tell more eloquently than words of the life of a great citizen. Hero Of Florida Riots.

Strangely enough the hero of the riots was a black man 60 years old who was not charged with assault and who was lunched. James Carrier was in the house the mobtried to enter seeking the supposed rapist. "He said this house is my castle, and you enter over my body." The mob did not enter. It laid siege and two of them were killed, some hurt. A few blocks away 300 colored mill workers were carefully guarded and threatened to keep them out of the riot. In the defense of his home Carrier's brother and sister were both killed. Later after he had been caught, the mob took him to the newly-made graves of his relatives and promised him immunity if he would tell who helped him protect his home. He would not tell. The mob threatened, it tormented, he would not tell. They stood him on his sister's grave and threatened to "shoot him to hell." Carrier did not tell and went to meet his Maker saving "I won't tell." The "Uncle Toms," the South loved are one forever, and in their place have grown up heroes like Uncle Jim Carrier who died true to his friends and trueto his home. Much In Little Retail prices are being increased by the wholesale. If you see a celebrator in a super he may be hypnotized. Every girl likes to wash dishes until she gets past six years old. Some people's object in life is objecting. In York, Pa., bandits carried off the post office safe, but there was only money in it, no coal. The Walla Walla, Wash., man cutting his third set of teeth will wear them out saying where he lives. Over in Ireland, Dublin will be called Eail Eatha Oliath, but conditions there are much better than this sounds. Absence of presents doesn't make the heart grow any fonder. It takes one to start a fight, which is always the other one. They are recruiting soldiers by radio now, the only drawback being recruits can't drill by radio. You hear arguments over football coaches for 1923, but nobody care who college presidents are. Aurora Borealis cut off the electric current in Louisville, Ky. It seems that the North Pole came south for the winter. Pedestrians are getting so particular they want to be run over by an expensive car, not a cheap car. Women have the most sense, but it takes a man to marry one. Our language yields us. Being artless is an art. You often find a hard-boiled egg not what he is cracked up to be. Minneapolis man claims robbers left him in the street naked, which may be true because playing poker is against the law. This may be an awful country; but in Persia it is considered offeminate to laugh. Naturally a hen-pecked man feels like a worm. The trouble with being a fly-weight is you may get swatted. A man tries to live up to his ideals, a woman to her photograph. The trouble with the average bread-winner is that he wants cake. Did You Know That: That African Civilization Society, delivered and managed by Negroes opened schools in Washington in 1684. ****** The Negro Baptist through the National Baptist Convention organized a foreign mission board in 1880. Missionary work on in five countries, in a mission field, fifty-one stations, eighty-three out-stations, and forty-three organized churches. There are forty-three native workers and 451 other helpers. The communists number 14,706. ****** A little over forty years ago, on Easter Day, 1877, a boat set out amid the cheering and gospel-hymn singing of thousands of Negroes in a attempt to establish a Negro nation in Africa, to have its seat of government in Liberia. Negroes support 238 vandeville and 611 motion picture houses in 21 states. Fifteen Years Ago Items From The Afro-American Or January 18, 1908 The next annual meeting of the National Negro Business League is to be held in Baltimore toward the middle of August. The Baltimore Negro Business League, under the leadership of Mr. Harry Pratt, is already perfecting plans for the entertainment of the officers and delegates. The United State Government has recently registered Dr. Cargill's preparations and trade-mark and gave him a number which will here after appear on his goods as copyrighted. Miss Ada B. Mason and Mr. Ernest Brown were married at 915 Pierce street, last Wednesday, by Rev. F. R. Williams, pastor of Perkins Square Baptist Church. Miss E.

January 16—The Turkish Society for the Protection of the Negro Minority in the United States, an organization similar to the body in the United States bearing the name of the American Association for the Protection of the Armenians, today passed a resolution that the Government of the United States be requested to assign the states Georgia, Alabama, Florida and the Carolinas to the Negro minority in the States, in order that "safety shall ensure the continuum in the institutions of the populations which are vexed by fears," in line with the humanitarian sentiments expressed by the representative of the American Government at Lausanne. THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 1923 THE FORUM in the column in which our readers express their own personal views. Needless to say the AFRO-AMERICAN dishows any response they may express or conclusions reached by our correspondents. Latters should not be longer than 250 words. Reg Your Pardon To the Editor; Please be so kind as to correct the statement appearing on the front page of your last issue under my wife's photo that "she lives with her husband on Drudd Hill asleep." The statement has embarassed me much and caused me to repeatedly deny it. "The Puny thirtiethress" has not lived with me her husband since January 12, 1922 and it certainly pains me that such a misstatement has ap- peared so prominently in print. DENNIS MOORE 1408 N. Mount St. Beg Your Partion To the Editor: Kindly correct the mistake that was published in your last week's paper concerning a dinner that was given at Mrs. Geneva Howard's house in honor of the Rev. J. A. Young of Norfolk, Va., the report is very untrue and has caused much hard feelings among some of my friends. No dinner was given in Rev. J. A. Young's honor, as I did not know he was in the city. You will please me greatly by correcting the mistake. MRS. GENEVA TOWARD 14 Roberts avenue. Catonsville. Florida And New Jersey By William Pickens Rosewood and Orange. Two beautiful names, but almost as different as both and heaven. In Florida a Negro is accused of "attacking" a white woman (whatever may be hidden under that word), and the mob, savage, furious and hellish, gets busy. What is the result? Seven people dead (some of them white) and all the homes of all the innocent Negroes burned down. The only fellow who has died is the one charged with the attack. For that fellow escaped, Mobs are not so proicient as the law. On the other hand, look at Orange, N. J. A Negro committed a most dastardly crime, not "attack" merely but attack and murder. And the law got busy. What was the result? The only fellow who suffers is the criminal. He will be hanged and innocent black people and white people go about their business as if the law were not in effect. That is justice; justice to both the criminal and the law-abiding. "The difference in results here is due to difference of methods, and a bit of reflection on the ought to impress ever Florida." Harvard Loses Its Bearings Harvard Loses Its Bearings N. Y. World Under Charles W. Eliot Harvard never had a race issue, Under A. Lawrence Lowell it has had two race issues in one year. When the so-called Jewish question was raised last Spring it was asserted that it was the result of an increase in the number of Jewish immigrants. Now there is a Negro issue at Harvard. It concerns one Negro, the son of a well-known Harvard graduate. There has been no Negro immigration. What there has been at Harvard is a change of soul at the top. That change of soul has communicated itself to the unified world. In the place of Eliot, whose embodied life, the great man who has lost his grip on the great, tradition which made Harvard one of the true spiritual centres of American life. Harvard, with the prejudices of a summer hostet. Harvard, with the standards of a country club is not the Harvard of the greatest sons. It is not the Harvard of Eliot or Emerson or Wilkens, James, a training-ground of free men in a Republic. It is not the Harvard of its most loyal graduates but a Harvard temporarily at sea in a disordered world. Urge Public libraries To Buy Our Books Urge Public libraries To Buy Our Books How Every Reader Can Help To Get Books On Negro Question Read By Mary White Ovington I have for over a year now, pointed out the most important books upon the Negro question and urged my readers to buy them, when they could. I like to think that the book-shelves in many homes are growing in number and publishers are learning that there is a purchasing Negro public that is getting the means of getting at books than the buying of each one desired. There are book clubs and libraries. To take the public library first. It should be the business of the colored citizen of a town that has a free public library (a really free one) to see that new books on the Negro are bought for it. This, I think any one will find who has tried, is not usually difficult. First, you want to be a good borrower. You want to be a good borrower who does not let the volumes become overdue but returns them on time. Having established yourself as a responsible reader, you have only to call the attention of the librarian to the book you want to have her anxious to buy it for you. Librarians are only too glad to find intelligent borrowers. The stories the librarians can tell of unintelligent borrowers are legion: so when they find someone who roads book reviews, who knows of the subject, who knows of the subject they want to oblige that person if they possibly can. Back of them is a board that may prove parsimonious, but he sure the librarian counts as meat and drink the intelligent demand by the public for serious literature. The N. A. A. C. P. will shortly publish a list of books that I have reviewed in Book Chat. By selling a two cent stamp, this list will be mailed to you. Why not take such a list into your public library, see what books the library has purchased and what are missing, and endure? Have the missing books ordered? Could help you and the reading of the books would educate the public. The Beasts That Walk Like Men The Beasts That Walk Like Men Baltimore Catholic Review Millions of Americans have been horrified during the last week by published accounts of the race riots in Florida and by the description of the way Richards and Daniels were murdered by masked cowards of Louisiana. The men who were responsible for the Florida riots and the Louisiana murders were men in name and appearance only. In reality they were beasts-worse than beasts, for wild animals kill quickly and because they have no reason. But in Florida and Louisiana the murders have been schemed and fliendishly planned their horrors. Adam would have blissed to know that such would be one day he his descendants. Cain would have cried for mercy and forgiveness that he had pointed the way to murder. These beasts, these degenerates, these fiends who will be ostracized by the unfortunate in Hell itself are they who dare say that it is for them to enclose the upholders of the standards of deceony; that they are the defenders of Americanism; that they are the protectors of home and woman's honor. Good God, that Americans has come to this? Washington and Lincoln, Lee and Jackson, what think ye of such venerin? what shod beasts that you fought for all that you hold dear? They hate the *Catholic Church* in many parts of the South. The Ku Klux Klanismen do not want to associate with the Catholics. Thank God for that. Thank God at least they know that they are not fit to meet with real men. When the Ku Klux Klan meets the most bitterly, there does crime ruin its head; there do hostility and cowardice and blood lust and degeneracy make headway. Deny this, if you can, you enemies of Catholicism and deceen. Deny it, you cowards of the Ku Klux Klan and you horrors of lynchers! No Catholic man can do the things that you do because such things are slimy and cowardly and beautify and inhabit man. Answer, John Sharp Williams, and the rest of you—answer! Plan Your Procedure From Washington Times Maybe one of the reasons you do not have a success is due to a lack of ability that you are in such a hurry to do the physical work necessary to the performance of certain tasks that you do not take time enough to think out your plan of procedure. You dash into things and try to think and plan as you go along. If you do, then you have to spend a lot of time thinking how to set out to difficulties which you would have existed if you had planned out things in a way to have avoided trouble. Every successful man of big or little business does his planning ahead. He has a definite course to pursue and considers ways of getting out of certain difficulties which are bound or likely to come up. He is prepared. Plainless rushers are not the ones seated for big jobs. You may be ambitious but you expend most of your time in muscle exercise just rushing around and losing out in the main object. To keep your hands and your feet moving does not indicate that you are getting anywhere, unless you have a plan to start with and make your motion bond to its carrying out. Plan ahead and then make your movements count. Longevity From the New York Times, man By 2023 the average life span of men could be 60 years. In individual cases it could be increased to 150, perhaps 200 years. There is no biological law limit the life span. Science has already increased the life span of certain animal organisms 900 times. During the past century eighteen years have been added to the life of man, due to progress in medical science and sanitation. It is possible for science to bring about an additional increase in life's span during the next century, as well as place life on a much higher plane. The age of youth might be carried up to thirty years and man's capacity for work maintained until he is seventy or eighty. The physical appearance of human beings might also be changed to some extent. I do not say that all this will happen by 2023, but I say it is possible. —Dr. Eugene Lyman Fisk. A Come Back From The Chicago American Dobbin is staging a comeback so strong, that he is unable to supply the demand for his services. Buyers are willing to pay $250 for good draft horses, according to the Horse Association of America. "Horses are proving more economical than motor trucks for hauls of less than twenty-five miles a day," said Mr. Dinsmore, "and their fields of activity do not conflict." Chicago has 33,000 horses today in comparison to 8,000 in 1917, it was pointed out at the meeting of the association. Parents Picket Springfield, O., School We'll Never Give Up. When the Springfield, O. School Board established a Fulton School for colored children only and moved white children elsewhere, parents kept their children home, beat up colored teachers sent to take charge, and picketed the building to see that none entered. Parents also secured an injunction against the School Board preventing it from opening separate schools on the ground that it is against the equal rights law of the State. Parents also picked the Fulton School before the injunction closing it was granted. GIRL OF FULTON SHOE MAKE PRINGPEE AGE FOR DIMOCACY NOW SLOUT A GB HOMERUN By Matthews, Colored Shortstop Won Harvard-Princeton Game Years Ago Heywood Brown in N. N. World. We see by The World that "Harrard, with the prejudices of a summer meret," Harvard, with the standards of a country club, is not the Harvard of her greatest sons. It is not the Harvard of Eliot Empson or William James" Well said, but what we are most conscious of it the fact that it isn't the Harvard of Lewis and Matthews and Gaudin. "Matthews was a little before our time, but we had a brother in college who us the story." Princeton asked if Harvard wouldn't use somebody else at shortstop, as there was a certain feeling among some members of the Tiger mine that they didn't want to play against a Nicojo. It was a different Harvard in those days, and the word came back that it would have to be Matthews ballgame. Princeton forgot its prejudices and played. The game was a night one until Matthews came to bat with the bases full. He knocked a homer. A room in a dormitory. Why the man could have had a whole dormitory and the theological school thrown in. Almost, But Not Ouite From Christian Advocate A fond father discovered his young hopeful reading a dime novel. "Wound me, villain," the detroed boy cried, "or there will be bloodshed." "No," said the father grimly, tightening the hold on the boy's collar, "Not bloodshed, wood-shed." More Clocks Needed From The Detroit News Andy—Why is a clock different from a man?

"Heard a blind man at a corner blowing his whistle to notify pass automobilists that he wanted to cross the street, says Miss Ida. Unsexing Defectives Chicago Enterprise Sterilization of defective men and women being strongly advocated by Chief Justice Harry Olson of the Municipal Court. He would have the legislature enact a law which would make compulsory the forcible unsealing of all human beings "whom the proposed statute would contemplate as socially inadependent classes." They would be "cripples, the blind, meed-to-do-wells, paupers and suffers from chronic and infectious diseases, tuberculosis, feeble-minded, insane, incarcerates, drug fiends and criminals." Judge Olson maintains such a law, strictly entered, inappropriating men and women who would come within the interpretation of the proposed statute definitions of the "socially inadequate classes" is the proper method by which to raise the standard of mental and physical, man and womanhood, and final human perfection in the attributes mentioned. Crime A Disease "Flight the crime wave exactly as we light epidemics." is what he would do about it. Abolish capital punishment. Middle capital businessman, of capital relation to life impersonation Sequence criminals guilty of capital crime to life imprisonment and let science study their cases. Establish "habit crimes" in every city for unproper and abnormal children between two and seven to prevent possible future criminals. Dr. Briggs says punishment can not stop crime because it doesn't remove the cause. He cites the "habit clinic" of Boston, established seven months ago, under Dr. Them, as the only agency directed toward preventing crime by striking at the cause of it. Quaint Old Sayings (These queer old sayings of a for- torn time were found written on the fly beat of a Bible of the clos- ing decade of the seventeenth century.) He that is down need fear no fail, He that is low no pride, He that is humble ever shall Have God to be his guide. Manlike is it to fall into sin; Friendlike is it to remain therein; Christlike is it over sin to grieve; Godlike is it all sin to forgive. If wiston's way you wisely seek Five things observe with care; Of whom you speak, to whom you speak, And when, and where. For every evil under the sun There is a remedy, or there is none; If there, he one, try to find it; If there be none, never mind it. Despise no man for being poor and For it may become thy fortune to be so. This is a very good world to live in To lend in, or spend in, or give in. But in, or to borrow, or get a man's own. Tis the very worst world that ever was known. Southampton is my dwelling place, And Christ is my salvation. Steal not this book for fear of shame. For here doth stand the owner's name. And you die the Lord will say, "Where is that book you stole away?" When this you see, remember me. And I shall not forgotten me.

Y., January 16—Charges that United States Senator Walter George of Georgia is a Ku Klux Klanman, and that Lothrop Stoddard of Boston, author and magazine writer, is not only a Klansman but is about to undertake command and control of the police made by Walter F. White, Assistant Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People at the Civic Club last night. Mr. White, speaking under the impulses of the League for Industrial Democracy, gave as his authority a reputable citizen of Atlanta in possession of secret Khan documents. Y. W. World asked Senator George in Washington last night to comment on Mr. White's charge. The Senator said he had nothing to say for publication. SMOKE Fifty billion cigarettes a year are used by Americans. This is 460 a year for each man, woman and child in the country. This from a speech by Charles P. Itus, president of the New York Microscopical Society. A little "biggie" and cipher "h" shows that the national cigarette bill is about 500 millions a year, on the basis of Titus' figures. Out of this tremendous sum, Guebis Som gets his bit—the buying sum. 600 million in taxes. A lot of money to go up in smoke. A Mark Twain Story Mark Twain had finished his speech at a dinner party and, on his sitting himself, a lawyer wrote, put his hands down. He pecked at the floor and laughed bitterly poured in his present: "Dopey!" it stitched his company as a little unusual that a professional humorist should be funny?" When the daughter that greeted this sally had subsided, Mark Twain drew out: "Dopey!" it stitched this company an unusual that a lawyer should have his hands in his own pockets?"

Beginning as office boy, by apprentice work and stewardship, he joined the Llama Coffee Company. To friends, associates and employer, Holmes was believed to be a reidr. Arriving home from his Wall street affair one night, he sold a beautiful yellow colored girl being pursued by three drunken southern white sadists and protects her against offers to accompany the girl to the subway, but she refuses, "Will I ever—ever see you again?" she sighs. But the girl was gone and Holmes fell a longing for the girl and his wife, one more moment and he would have confessed to her that he was a cop. He later the Llama Coffee Company raised Holmes' salary from ten to twelve thousand dollars. CHAPTER FIVE In three minutes the strange pain wey in an Eighth avenue troley. The child snuggled up to Holmes bid her head on his arms and held his hand. "I like you, Mister Man," she said. "I wish you was my uncle, Holmes's answer was an inward groom. They got off the troley at the designated street and Holmes had quietly in hiding the house, neat graystone front with diligence work. The child ran ahead of him and up the steps, calling out, "Mamma! Mamma! Here I am." The windows flow up, the door the open, and a frantic woman snatched up the child. "My baby! My baby! Oh, sir, where did you hit her?" And before Holmes could answer her she called: "Elmer! Elmer! Kathy's found! Come in, sir, Elmer! Elmer! Holmes followed the woman and child into the hallway and stood looking at them with moist eyes. A door opened up stairs and some on-starved down. "Derek's Aunt Elinor" ended the child. Nelson Holmes looked up the stairs and gave a start of surprise. He was gazing straight into the eyes of Miss E. /Miss E paused in frank astonishment; then she recovered and camped down the stairs. Holmes stood looking at her with open mouth. Miss E was about to speak to him when she shrew herself upon her and she had to pick up the toot and kiss her. "Wuth!" she said, and her voice broke as she propped the child to her bosom. Nelson Holmes felt like a guilty intruder. His heart was melting in a manure strange to him. His business would was hard and masculine, and he saw women only at social affairs where their hearts were hidden under layers of suddistribution. He had not seen women ey ey since he was a little boy. His interest in Miss E was for the moment secondary; his heart was deaded at the picture of love and reunion. He saw a homemade really was; not a place of bricks or marble filled with furniture, but a hazen of the spirit with whom he was born. Other things and tricks and devotion. In spite of himself his heart rose in him, a blur came over his eyes, and he did not know his checks were wet. He turned away, "Oh, don't do away, Mister man!" "I tried little Ruth, scaling his hand," "Mamma, I was told and fuzzing, and he wrapped me up in his big warm overcoat, and he drove me some warm milk. It was done. And I don' t to tiss 'im." And she complained up and did it: he him the first pure kiss his chick had felt since his mother had kissed him on her death bed. He saw the school children's parade this afternoon on 12th street," said the mother. "I got to talking with a woman and she got away from me and was lost in the crowd. I was frantic. Her friend and made a friend are looking for her now." Found her less than an hour ago by the Central Park wall," said Holmes. "Oh, Elmo," said the child's mother, "we owe that to your forgiveness." The telephone rang, and the woman hurried to the receiver, Ruth Tompkins behind her. "Ed? Yes, yes! Come home. She's found. Yes, yes! Now at Central Park, you must have brought her." . . . Where are Jerome and Mr. Ettner? All right. . . . goodbye. While Mrs. Soimers was at the telephone Nelson Holmes stood face to face with Miss E., whom he now "You must know how we thank you, sir." "Yes, yes," he said, with face still angled. "It's good to have children to lose. I'll never have any." Little Ruth running back from the telephone, overboard him, and she immediately made one of these terrible breaks which are possible only to children. And Aunt Ellen says she won't never have any, "tissues." "Ruth!" said the two women. "But you did, now. did you not Aunt Elliner? Mamma asked you about Mr. Betttner—" "Ruth!" cried her mother, spat- hing her up. "Stop your foolishness I'll just take you downstairs. You need something to eat, anyhow." "Good night, little kiddie," said Holmes huskily. Ulmar stood silent before him. A tense moment passed. Strangely unmade to meet her eyes, Holmes turned to go. As he put his hand to the door knob, he could not resist the impulse to speak. "Don't you remember me?" The girl was silent for an instant. When she spoke her voice was cool and even. Then he looked at her. Her face was cold as brown marble. Her voice had the tone of one offended. He was puzzled. If she remembered him why had she not said so before? It would have been the natural thing to say to her sister, "Why, this is the same gentleman, the one that came from the rowdies that night?" She might have said to him, "I thank you again, sir, you are a sort of guardian angel to this family," or something like that to show him she remembered and was grateful. But she had done nothing of the kind, and now she was acting as if she wanted him to get out of her sight as soon as possible. Jason Holmes was cut to the heart, like a young boy whose first sweetheart trees he colldy. And he acted like a boy. "You don't care whether I live or die," he blurted. The girl's eyes widened in amazement. She even took a step backward. "oh, my God!" he meemed, realizing what he had said. "You don't know, you don't know, you don't know, you don't know, I am a cad, a coward—you don't know what kind of a coward, was about to say more, when voices outside. The door was thrust open, and three men rushed in excitedly. "Elinor!" said the first of them, she's found, eh? "Where is she?" Downstairs, Ed. getting something to eat. And this is the gentleman who found her and brought her home. She was away down at Central Park. The man as she spoke, was busy shaking Holmes' hand. He was a straight, well-set man of middleheight and a little under forty, with a powerful brown face and clear eyes. I thank you, sir., he said, his face a glaze. "She's all the child I have, my name is Somers, sir. Edward Somers." "Mine is Nelson Holmes." "Well, I'm glad to know you, Mr. Holmes; it's a mighty big favor you've done. Mr. Bettner, Mr. Holmes," he said indicating the man behind him. Holmes immediately recalled Mr. Bettner's name. This was the gentleman who, according to little Truth's little, wished to marry her aunt. Holmes at once recognized him. guestor find us as a familiar type. Black, brown, brown or red, the type is the same—all blister and vanity, covering a small soul and pet pettiness. "Please to meet you, pleased to meet you," he said rapidly, and took his stand beside Somers. "Also," said Edward Somers. "meet my—" "Jerome Francis!" (exclaimed Holmes. "You remember me, Mr. Holmes!" "Indeed I do, said Holmes, shaking his hand. "Quite a talk we had yesterday." "Even though frustrelous," said Jerome Francis with a laugh. "Don't say that so fast," said Holmes. "Fast or slow, Mr. Holmes. I'd only have to say just what I yesterday. I can't do it, even after thinking it all over." "Hello," said Edward Somers. "what is all this?" Come on, sit down, everybody, and tell us all about it. You're not in a hurry are you, Mr. Holmes." "Wait till I see Ruth, though," said Somers, going off; "I don't want to miss a good story." it. Elinor started away, "Don't go, sis," said Jerome Francis. "we won't bite you, even if we are in town. In case you haven't met her formally, I do. Holmes, this is mily highly prized sister, Elinor Francis." "I glad to enjoy the introduction, "said Holmes, bewing, "I was about to leave without it when you come in, Mr. Francis." "They seated themselves and in a four moments Edward Somers return to him, and how did you know each other so well?" he asked. "That an argument," laughed Jerome. "I am sales manager for the Llama Coffee Company," said Holmes. "The Llama!" said Edward Somers. "We drink it every morning." And "and knew I was after a job with it," said Jerome, "wanted to land it and then surprise them with the news." "Well," said Holmes, his heart warming in the friendly atmosphere, "this young man applied for a position with us as salesman and passed all the examinations like lightning." "I imagine he did," said Edward Somers. "I was about to engage him," continued Holmes, "when it came out in conversation that he was colored." "Nothing else," said Jerome Francis. "Up to that time I took him for a Spanish or an Italian who had antigized his name, though I did not understand how a foreigner could speak such good English and hinted to Mr. Francis that he needn't let gentlemen will readily understand. [But he boldly said he was a Negro and would be nothing else. I shook on it. I said I admired his manliness.] BLASS, Druggist 7.

"No-as a Negro." He lade them good night and left the house. Nelson Holmes did not take a trolley or taxicab when he left the Somers' house. He decided to walk home. He went slowly down Seventh avenue lost in thought. "What I have missed?" he be thought. For the first time in ten years he had seen the inside of a Negro home. He had been white so long that his experience at the Somers residence gave him a good perspective from which to measure the progress of the colored people in those ten years. The Somers residence was the only body to live in. They had every comfort there that he had in his expensive apartments, except an elevator, and they didn't need that. He recalled the sumptuous but tasteful furniture and the good pictures on the walls. And the pictures: Simple, cultured, manly, and womanly. They were more refined and better educated than many of the people with whom he associated. home, with all its love, anxiety and devotion. Father, mother, child, sister, brother—none of these relationships was in his life. He was about to die. He was his heart cried out for love, brotherly, sisterly, motherly love. "A home, a home," he murmured. "And a girl," his conscience said. Now that he was away from Elmo Franks he tried to light down that which was swelling in his breast. He called himself a weakling, a baby, as he tried to stem the snowmounting tide of his being. He thought of the Llama Company and his ambitions, of the men and millions that would some day die at his hands. He thought of the Llama seemed coarse and common, with nothing in it to satisfy his spiritual being. In the last month he had become more and more conscious of that spiritual hunger. Like other men he strove for riches, fame, place, and honor, but he began to see that there was one desire in his being that none of them could satisfy. However rich, he might become he still would be a poor man, a spiritual starving. A church spire rose before him. Beside it rose smaller and lower spires, all pointing to that realm to years; and the moonlight tell upon the spires and the cross as if a hand above had touched them with silver. He heard the deep roll of an organ and the chant of children singing, now in low tones of awe, now in bated adoration, now in a high excepcion of triumph. "And I have had no God!" he said otherly passing the church with his hands. "No God, no home, no kin, no love, no race."

GAS IN THE STOMACH IS DANGEROUS Recommend Daily Use of Magnesia To Overcome Trouble Caused by Fermenting Food and Acid Indigestion Gas and wind in the stomach are compounded by this full bloated feeling after eating are almost certain evidence of the presence of excessive hydrochloric acid in the stomach creating so-called indigestion. Acid stomachs are dangerous because too much acid irritates the stomach leading to gastritis accompanied by serious stomach ulcers. Food fragments and soups, creating the distressing gas which dislends the stomach and hampers the normal functions of the vital internal organs, often affecting the heart. It is the worst of folly to neglect such a serious condition or to treat with ordinary digestive aids which have no noirizing effect on the stomach necks. Instead get from any dugger a few ounces of Illustrated Magnolia and take a touponful in a quarter glass of water right after eating. This will drive tinges, wind and blood out of the body, sicken the stomach, neutralize formation and there is no sourness or pain. Illustrated Magnolia on powder or table form—never liquid or milk) is burnish to the stomach, insensitive to take and the best form of magnesium for stomach purposes. It is used by thousands of people who enjoy their meals with no more fear of indigestion. ALE.

Ancestor Editor, Afro-American, 626 N. Eutaw街, Baltimore, Md. He Couldn't Lose The Cat A New York business man who lives in East Orange something of a pigeon fan recently lost several of his finest birds through the depreciations of vagrant cats. The losses became so heavy that he armed himself with a gun and lay in ambush one afternoon when he returned from the city. After a wait he saw a leon cat emerge the cote with the cote and the cat fell dead. In the early transports of his joy at having destroyed the thief he forgot that there was yet a task for him to perform but soon recollected that the body must be disposed of. First he thought of digging a hole in the back yard and intorting the seat therein, but he trembled when he thought what the neighbors might think he was burrying. At last an idea struck "I will wrap the cat in papers and throw it off the ferryboat when I cross in the morning," he promised himself. So with the bundle carefully placed on the following morning, he got off the train and boarded the boat, and there he was greeted by a group of friends from whom he could not escape. He reflected that he might have to make embarrassing explanations if he threw the bundle overboard while he was with them, and then he handed, thinking he could easily eit it away in an ash barred on the way to the office. He passed several ash barrels on his way, but some how or other some one always seemed to be gazing in his direction when he approached one, and once or twice he saw a watchful policeman. So he went all the way to the office, holding he would throw it c-reboard on his way home. Going across the river that might he met some more sociable acquaintances, and the cat boarded the train with him as a result. He laid the package down beside him and became absorbed in a newspaper. Reaching the station up a bundle and went home. He gave the bundle to the cook and told her to bury the cat in the yard. Then in a few minutes the cook reappeared. "I guess there is some mistake, sir, this is not a cat it is a leg of mutton." The man evidently picked up the wrong bundle on leaving the train and he only hopes the fellow doesn't know his identity. Embarrassing Moment What was yours?

We were bidding goodbye to those of the wedding party who were "seeing us off" for our new home in old state. The rice old shoes, the hats and hand-shakings in farewell, "everything" caused me to become more or less confused. So when the conductor held out his hand to hurry up the steps of the waiting train, I chased his hand in a good old camp-meeting pump handle and eried, "the sure to write" to him. He said to me I dled into the train with years of laughing coming from friends and train passengers alike. Mrs. M, E. M.

The Woman's Editor Some Linoleum Suggestions New linoleum should not be permanently tacked into place until the stretch has been taken out by allowing it to remain on the floor for a week or two. If your old linoleum is comparatively good, but has lost some of it printing, try giving it a good coat of paint of any desired color. A border stenciled in contrasting color will make it look like a new floor covering. Frequently one may put out the worn portions of kitchen linoleum and relay what is left so that a margin will remain around the edges. It is less trouble to keep this part of the room clean if the exposed floor is painted and kept polished with floor wax. The best parts of discarded linoleum make good floor mats to be used where most of the wear comes on new linoleum. If the colors look too shabby print them, using a different color for the borders if preferred. A piece of new linoleum the exact size of the top of your kitchen table will outlast many table oil-cloths. It should be securely tacked or cemented in plaster. MRS. C. B. SMUF Managing A Husband In every well-regulated home, the wife manages her husband; but in every case he does not know it. Her management is based upon the fact that every good wife since love has known perfectly well that no man in domestic affairs has developed much further than the cave man, and for that reason he can be reached then the things that appealed to his prehistoric ancestor. In the first place he expects at all times to be lord and master, and will brook in insinuations or suggestions to the contrary. So the good wife keeps him thinking he is. When he thunders out a thins-and-so opinion upon some matter that is really none of his business, she seems to question it in the moment. Later by submits she makes him see the advice leads to her way of thinking. He then proclaims that he has changed his mind, and boasts that he too, like Emerson has always felt that consistency was no jewel. That isn't always accomplished in an hour or a day. She must be in an hour or a day. She must bide her time until he is in a mood of satisfied self-companence, and then she must surreptitiously suggest her own conviction, perhaps as a more generalization, and then ease efforts until it has had time to soak in. She has learned thru long experience the best way to put him in this mood of satisfied self-companence. It is the same as that by use the good wife of the eave man. Then things which appeal to the stomach the eye, and the skin. This he often wrongly called heart. She knows that better than anything else, he likes good food will prepared.

Lately I have had terrible cramps in my legs. Will you kindly tell me what causes this trouble? A—Your condition is probably due to improper-fitting shoes or fallen arches. Try massaging the feet or wearing a shoe. This may help you. Consult an orthopedist for an examination, and then proper treatment will be prescribed. Embarrassing Moment Nearly 29 years ago when I was a senior in college, I fell deeply in love with a beautiful coal-black-braided damself, who evidently believed dead men were more important than live ones, at least in her life. For she spent all of her time studying Byron, Milton, Addison, Poe, Dante, Shakespeare, Hugo and a number of other illustrious authors. At sometime or other almost all of the boys in school had been fascinated by her unusual beauty, for if ever beauty existed in any woman, it did in her—she was tall, slender, and had a rich brown complexion, large brown eyes, and curls of glistening black hair. She dreamed of that man who enriched the most, in fact go crazy over. But she created us all so cold that none of us ever dared to ask for a date. One day I wrote a sound in praise of this cold charmer. Later when I pulled an excuse slip from a book to give to my instructor, this treasured poetry dropped out. I did not notice it. Suddenly the old professor, a confirmed bachelor who spared no one, cleared his throat and began to read in ringing tones of scorn: Oh, maiden, heartless maiden of the coal black tresses. I long, oh, I long for thy soft, shy caresses." On and on he read finally concluding with name, while I squirmed in my chair, suffering every torment under the sun, for the girl besides all the other students, was forced to listen. Since that time I have avoided writing poetry as I would the plague. 'The girl never spoke to me afterward. RALPH.

I had among my friends a young country lad, of an amiable, easy-going disposition, very friendly to everybody, and a great lover of home and children. We used to attend the social affairs of the town together, this continuing in a happy friendship until he felt as if it were time for him to start farming on his own account. I was the girl he picked out as being the best adapted to manage his household to be the mother of his children, and his partner in business. Altho I had always lived in town he was assured me "he could make me happy if anyone could" and was assured of this at frequent intervals for a year and then against the advice of friends and relatives I decided to try it out. He has been true to his declaration, far beyond my fondest expectation as a girl. When I married I knew as much about housework as the average town girl who has been in school or an office all of her life, and I knew less about farm work. Due to my inexperience the household the first few years of our life was not managed properly, but I never heard a complaint and he was always ready to give me a lift, when the work of combined housekeeping, chicken raising and gardening, seemed more than I could manage. Two children have come to us, and the welfare and pleasure of the children and myself are- his first consideration. When he is financially able to buy some needed equipment for his farm work, he figures at the same time to buy something for the farm and will work correspondingly easier. For instance, when he felts able to buy a binder, after a few years of hiring his pats and wheat cut, he brought an engine to run the power washing machine at the same time. This year he is putting in a force pump at the well and piping the water directly into and running a pump at the same time is running a sink in the kitchen and running a pipe from the cistern so that soft water can be pumped directly in the kitchen. We have not advanced as for financially as we might have had my husband been a man of more aggressive personality, but we have had an ideally happy home life, have always had plenty of friends and good neighbors, and these are more to be desired than riches.

WRITE PORO COLLEGE Saint Louis, Missouri PORO Corner By J. A. Jackson After two-thirds of the initial performance of "Broadway Rustus" had been presented, Jack Johnson, representing the management of the Lafayette Theater, New York walked onto the stage and announced that: "On tomorrow night there will be an altogether different show offered." He continued to explain to the audience that the house managers apologized and discharged any responsibility for the unsatisfactory show that was then nearing completion. In 1922, "Broadway Rustus of 1922" was according to the program a musical comedy, with book being Miller; lyrics by Porssan Simons; music by W. Actor Morgan; and was staged by Quintard In review we find that the piece was indeed devoid of a book in there, there was a number of very old barbies* busts* most of which were so familiar to the audience as to be very tiresome to the first few people and to exert the gallery to a form of objectionive applause called the Charleston handkerchief. The gallery was not all alluded about delivering the performers and in justice to some of the performers, it was not always deserved! The prints were acceptable. The music was in several instances the good. One or two numbers were reminiscent of "Shuttle Along"; but the music and its arrangement was on par with the average production material. No kick on it. Quintard Miller selected and aged a nice-looking group of brown-skimmed beaches, and six motherly-looking choruses, three steps of demure with of course, that were not for that bit of rough elbow is always noted on the opening Besides the book, the piece self-refered from a lack of commanding games in the east. The principal condoion was a total loss, and Jamie Parker, second comrade ran over him in the matter of personality. Travis Smith, a hostile addicted attorney, stood out as a thing good. Rutty Mason made good as Miss Thomas who has a good voice was too handcapped to do as well as might be expected of her. Henry Sapre did not have the chance to do the done made familiar by "Broadway Rasus" in "Put and Take." With Miller and Astor Morgan, with D. K. Brisbane in charge of the business end, produced the show, and under a hastily conceived arrangement with the Colonel Business of the Lafayette Theater, the show was replaced on Tuesday night by a vaudeville bill; and the show returned to the repertory with a new book and the present shows will be presented a few weeks later. Notified at the opening of business on Tuesday, Walter Plimmer got together a program of three white acts and five Negro acts that were ready for the evenings show. Mary Housley and his "Sheiks of Ardy" headed the bill; Rucker and Perrin; Eva Lucas and John; Thomas and Russed and Cry Lady Godfrey were the colored contingent. The white acts were, "King, Queen and Jack"; Medley and Dupree; and The Heynolls, 11 The "Climbing Revenue" Quartet playing a white engagement in Cleveland was the special attraction on New Year's at midnight at the Global Theater in Cleveland, Hodgen and Hodgen were on the stage after which the latter and the Monogram in Chicago.

HERE AND THERE Mr. Harper of Harper and Blanks, stars of the "Plantation Revue" playing dates around the Great Lake cities, stole into New York on a brief business trip on Jan. 4. Joe Bright and Bertina Wheeler with their stock company continue to draw for Mr. Gibson in Philadelphia. Their engagement is, we are informed indiscrete. Roland Cameron has opened his season with the M. J. Riley Snores and may be addressed at P. P. Box 421. South Boston, Va., for the winter. George Morris and Shirley Liggons, of Liggons and Malone presented a "Plantation Day's Revue" with 40 people for two days at the Auditorium, Denver on Dec. 21-22. A second performance was required on the second day to accommodate the demands of patrons who had missed the previous shows because of the capacity limits of the place. --- Mrs. Taylor, whose husband is of the team of Williams and Taylor, is back at her home 2283 Seventh avenue, New York after a month's visit with her husband while the act played the Orpheum houses in Chicago. Mrs. Williams continues with her husband, the other partner in the act. These ladies who constitute the act of Freemann and Matthieu have an affinity with the actors, who are quite domestic as well, and Mrs. Taylor knows the way to the savages' bank too. Billy Higgins and Ernest Whitman closed with the "Follow Me show" in Pittsburgh. Their further plans have not been made known nor has the reason for leaving the snow been told. Lewy says "Colored acts would help themselves a lot if they would not all try to sing the same song, just because some one else has been successful with a number. Another help would be to sing and quit trying to out tell themselves so that what melody the voice and instrument contains, a host. Noise is not music."

Howard Players To Appear In Another Original Production Washington, D. C., Jan. 18—The Howard Player of Howard University will appear in another original drama entitled "The Death Dancer" to be presented on Friday evening January 19th, 1923 in the Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel on the University Campus. The author of the drama is Mississippi Omena a member of the Class of 1923. The production will be a special performance as a part of a reception to a group of visiting students from Holland, Germany, Austria, and England. The play itself is a remarkable adaptation of the customs and practices of the Vak tribe of Liberia, on the West Coast of Africa into a drama of rare beauty and dramatic power. The story deals with the romance of Kamo, a prince of the Vak tribe and an account of the unfamiliar but unsuccessful efforts of the Medicine Man to with the girl for himself by destroying her lover. Kathleen Hillyer will give a vivid interpretation of Azumana, her "dance of death" being a brilliant achievement. J. W. Nicholson as the Medicine Man, Purvis, J. Chesson as Kamo, and Bernard Walton as Albuo, are all pilgrims of considerable understanding and experience composed for "The Dance of Death" by Victor Kerney. The scenery will present a picture of a tribal village in the rich coloring of an African sunset. Accompanying this play will be the "Maker of Dreams", a pleasing fantasy by Oliphant Down. The part of Pierro, will be taken by Jennings Newsome, that of Pierre by Grace Rose Nash, and the Manufacturer by Alfred Smith. The University Orchestra under the direction of Serguey Dorsey Rhodes, U.S.A. The Howard Players, because of their noteworthy dramatic productions have become recognized throughout the country as leaders in the movement to establish a National Negro Theatre. Their aim is to produce original drama dealing with the "Life of the Negro" and thus to create a dramatic literature representative of the highest ideals and aspirations of the race. The initial step in this effort was the presentation last spring of a program of original plays by the students of the University. At this time "Genefreud" by Helge Webb and "The Yellow Tree" by beReach Byrd were successfully given. Read Our Classified Ads.

HUNDREDS PAY FINAL TRIBUTE TO LATE PASTOR OF UNION BAPT. Body of Dr. Harvey Johnson Lies In State in Church He Pastor ed 50 Years CITY MOURNS ITS LOSS Deceased Pastor Literally Gave His Life for Advancement of His People Final tributes to Rev. Dr. Harvey Johnson, for fifty years pastor of Union Baptist Church, were paid Monday afternoon, the office being packed and jammed and the vicinity being crowded with those who came as a last mark of respect. Hundreds had lied past his peer in the morning as the remains lay in state. The beloved minister died last Friday following an illness of less than a week. The first Sunday evening in the year he was present at the communion service, and many noted that he was feeling badly when he took in the momentous remarking. "This cup is so heavy but I intend to perform my duties until I drop." The day before he had suffered a child, but he was out on Monday of last week to attend the Baptist Teachers' Meeting at Union Baptist Union Church that he attended. He took to his bed that night, a physician and two nurses being summoned. He failed to rally, however, and he passed away, literally worn out from arduous work performed during his long ministerial career. Cordelia hemorrhages caused his death. Just before the holiday period he realized his life ambition to round up fifty years as pastor of the church, a month's celebration marking the event. He did not attend but one or two nights, however, owing to his infidelity caused that of John A. Holmes, who died the Sunday he was to preach at the church. Born In Virginia Born in Famique County, Va. on August 4, 1813, he was elected at the old Baptist Seminary in Washington. He was called to position as pastor of the Church in 1872 taking the place of Rev William Thompson, who had died the year before. The congregation was then known as North Street Baptist Church and located in North between Lexington and Saratoga. The church grew so rapidly that a large structure was erected on the old site. There the congregation remained until about 1880 when a new home on Broad Hill avenue, shrine, bobbin street was erected. Fought White Baptists Dr. Johnson's fame as a minister soon outgrew local bounds and he became known the country over as a fighter against race prescriptions. In the early days of white Baptists, he was a leader and a friend of a civil kind were taboo. That did not deter Dr. Johnson, however, for whenever a meeting to advocate the cause of the race was held in old Bethel A. M. E. Church he was on hand to advocate the cause of the race. The early days there were less than a half dozen congregations of colored Baptists and white and colored Baptist ministers met together. He raised a rumpus when he protested against a Jim Crow table being set for colored Baptists, kept on criticizing unequivocal conditions with the result that colored ministers eventually did not meet with their white brother and a number of colored congregations organized a State convention that had no affiliation with the whites. The name of Harvey Johnson be- DR. HARVEY JOHNSON'S LIFE AT A GLANCE Born in Fauquier County Va., August 4, 1843, the son of Thomas and Harriett Johnson. Attended school for a while in Alexandria, Va. and Philadelphia, entered Wayland Seminary in 1858 graduating in 1872. Became pastor of Union Baptist Church in November 1872.

The congregation finally bought from the Maryland Baptist Union (White), title to the North street property. Speaks In Boston In 1896 he started the country by speaking before the North-east Baptist Convention (white) in Boston, and sharply attacking the attitude of the white Baptists toward the race. His address was published in newspapers all over the country. Dr. Johnson told the story, his address was being herded on the streets of Boston by an evening paper published three, white boys delivering it. Led Bar Fight Dr. Johnson led the fight for the admission of colored lawyers to practice in the courts of Maryland. The late James H. Wolff of Boston, and the late Charles S. Taylor came to this city in 1767 and opened offices in Douglas Institute located on Lexington street opposite the State House. The president that the court had praised in the United States Court let Maryland after parking a fetter fee to be admitted. He formed a committee of ministers and money was raised to get the bar open for colored attorneys. He received the consent of Charles W. Wilson then treasurer of the Army and the governor of his name as a tollholder. Failures may be the first efforts. One Saturday in March, 1885, the Supreme Court was in session and he joined went to the office of a white lawyer given special counsel. He was sent to the court and admitted that they would over to the Old Courthouse. Mr. Holbis at first demurred and the minister called his attention to some recent Federal court question which proved the way for the removal of the ban in Maryland. The Supreme Court was indicted the chief judge drowned noted Mr. Holbis' no sense and asked if he wanted to bring a new petition to the attention of the Court. Mr. Holbis armed, asked the court to decide, with the result that the carrier issued colored attorneys was The late Edward J. Waring, who old several years ago in Philadelphia, was the first colored attorney to the bar in Maryland, the ever taking place in September 1885. The late Joseph H. Pursell, the late Charles H.

As a recognition of his services, the ecclesiastical lawyers of the city presented Dr. Johnson a handsome silk umbrella in March, 1910, the twenty-fifth anniversary of securing the privilege to practice their profession. Fights Bastardy Act. It was through his efforts that the fastidious law was construed to give colored women protection under its provisions. He was also in the light to have colored teachers installed in the public schools of the city. When the Marginal Suffrage League organized at Dafed Church in 1955 to fight against the proposed distressing amendment a unanimous demand was made that he accept the presidency. He declined and the late Boy, Dr. William M. Alexander was chosen. Never a politician, he was always outspoken on political questions affecting the race. He was active in the women's rights years ago, he was one of the first to join the old Niagara Movement. Was Well Read The deceased minister had a fun library, his interests ranging from theology, ethnology, history to current events. He had one of the most valuable sets of clippings in Maryland dealing with race topics. He was a devoted father of nine children dealing with the biological and race topics. His book, "The Nations From a New Point of View," criticized the white man's actions in dealing with the race question. His pamphlet, "The White Man's Failure in Government," is included in the book, as well as his reply to the attack that W. E. B. Pearce made against the Senate from Maryland, made on the race 30 years ago. Would Separate Races Dr. Johnson expressed the opinion that the white man would ever be unfair to the Negro, and organized the Texas Purchase Movement. His idea was for the Federal government to allow the white owned in Texas and then reel the same to colored people so that they could establish a State of their own. He was a firm believer in an educated ministry, and greatly abolished Wilkins' diversity, and made the Texas Indian minister of the city have received part of their education. Roiled President Harrison It is related that Dr. Johnson called on President Harrison over thirty years ago to talk about the leaching evil. The President is said to have told him that the federal government is powerless in the matter and upon Dr. Johnson's insistence that it has authority to not, the President is said to have instructed to terminate the interview. The deceased was married on April 17, 1877, to Miss Amelia E. Hall, a cultivated lady. She died last month. Three children, Mrs. Jesse E. Shaw, of Boston; Prentiss E. Johnson and Harvey Johnson, of Boston; and Mary V. Vivian, of New York. His salary at the time of his death was $1,200 and for the past 20 years he had refused an increase.
