ALLEGED RAPIST ON TRIAL TODAY Nobody Believes, He Says Billion Billion Bodies Will Ever "Rise From the Dead" HELL IS NOT MATERIAL "Very Idea of Hell Is Hell- ofanidea," Says Former Baltimore Educator New York, February 14.—Nobody believes in hell, heaven, Jonah swallowed by the whale, Red Sea drying up for Israelites, and human beings ever rising from the dead writes Dr. William Pickens, former vice-president of Morgan College in Baltimore and now a secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. in the February issue of the Mess- er Magazine. Dr. Pickens' article entitled "Things Nobody Believes," firmly places him on the side of Dr. Grant in his argument with Bishop Manning on the divinity of Christ, aloof Dr. Pickens says nothing about the divinity of Christ in his article. He does say that anyone who believes something simply because it was believed 3,000 years ago is an "idiot." If we fail to follow the ancients in medicine, chemistry or astronomy asks Dr. Pickens, why should the dead rule us in this one matter of religion. Dr. Pickens says people may "swallow or "accept" the following statements, but they do not actively, critically and intelligently believe in them. "Nobody believes," he says: That Adam was made out of nothing, or Ev. out of Adam's仁, when there was plenty of nothing left to make a million Eyes out of. That pudding was a god or Mohammed anything more than a strong, energetic and far from faintness man. That the whole swallowed Jonah—except those who could just as readily believe that Jonah swallowed the whale. Or that any man ever stayed in the belly of a whale three days and came out misplaced. Standing Still Absurd That the sun ever "stood still" since it started its rotation on its axis and its procession through space, or, what is more absurd, that the earth ever stopped its rotation in order to hold sunlight on a certain part of its surface for a few more hours, simply to give a poor human, named Joshua, a chance to shatter a corpse of his fellowmen a benevolent dark-haired man who spread its protective mantle over them. Nobody believes that the solar luminary and his daughter the earth, ever entered into so despicable a conspiracy with brutaf men. Besides, if the earth, which turns at the rate of about eighteen miles a TRUSTEES AUTHORIZE START ON H. U. GYM Cobb Is Elected New Dean Of Law School At Mid-Winter Session Washington, February 14.

Feb. 14 (Ledger News Service)—Interest in this city is centered around the domestic affairs of the Rickmans, Jennie and Wilbur. The whole trouble lies in the fact that Mrs. Rickman, the wife, discovered that her husband is a white man. She immediately entered suit for divorce on the grounds that she was not aware of his claims to white parentage until recently. The Rickmans have been married twelve years and have three or four children. Wilbur Rickman has always passed as a Negro heretofore, but he has a petition now pending in court to have himself declared "white." He is 50 years old and claims not until recently has been unable to prove his parentage, although he has a mother, living in this city married to a colored man, is claimed that his children being a white woman, but it is generally thought however that she is white.

Lawrence W. Ferguson, 25, chau- feat at the Sheffield Police Station, wounded by the youth, in the General Hospital with a bullet in his groin. He will recover. Through tear-dimmed eyes, the gray-haired mother, Mrs. William H. Bishop, looked at the black smudged face of her son two hours after the shooting. "I can't believe it is my boy," she said brokenly. "He was too good for that." The news came to Otto Dumbach, principal of Central High School, as a shock. His voice grew husky as he narrated the virtues of young Bishop, whom he characterized as a "splendid type of young manhood, rugged, bashful, athletic, studious and loved by his companions." Yet on the desk of the Sergent at the Sheffield Police Station lies a 32 cellphone receiver taken from the school, a jumper and a pair of overalls, the former stained with blood, which he wore when he fell—and $22 in bills. And in the General Hospital, Ferguson, bullied through his right groin and the red streak of another across his chest, testifies between groans that Bishop fired first.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1923 RAPI To Bu The Sout The South Speaks: Mayors of Dixie Towns Declare That the Southern White Man is Negro's Best Friend Five mayors in Dixie cities wrote the Afro-American this week that there is no truth in the assertion of Lester Walton, "that Southern policemen are always ready to arrest colored people whether they break the laws or not and are especially severe on visitors from the North." Mr. Walton's original article appeared in the Afro-American recently and created wide-spread comment throughout the South. Statements of the five Mayors follow: TUSCALOOSA, ALA. "Mr. Walton's statement is not true of our city. Arrests are only made when laws are violated."—D. Z. Robertson, Mayor, Tuscaloosa, Ala. ST. F. TERBSBURG, FLA. "Of course you understand that St. Petersburg is more of a Northern town and I cannot speak for other cities. However, we show no partiality to those who break the law if they are black or white. "We have very little trouble with our colored section here. In fact, more trouble with the whites, as most of the colored people here are employed in hotels and represent the very best element of the colored people. We find them gliding down our own hills, have their own dance balls and theatres and everything is conducted in an orderly manner." F. P. Pulver, Mayor, St. Petersburg, Fl. ANNISTON, ALA. Mr. Walton's statement is not true of our city."—J. L. Wiker, Mayor, Anniston, Ala. FORT SMITH, ARK. "We have colored policemen in our city. They only patrol in the section of the city which is inhabited by colored people and they are not severe on arresting anyone. I find them very fair in regard to their duties and their conduct toward people that they have jurisdiction over. I know they do not mistreat the colored people from any part of the United States when visiting with us."—Pagan Bourland, Mayor, Fort Smith, Ark. GAUNESWELL, FLA. "Lester Walton's statement is grossly untrue of every Southern city of which I know anything. "It is such articles written without any foundation of truth, that do more to create discontent and ill-feeling of the colored race than anything else, and is the cause of many ignorant and misguided colored people getting into unnecessary trouble. "It seems to me your paper do woll to print such articles unless you are convinced of their truth for your race who reads it depends greatly for their information and guidance upon what you print, are wrongly informed and their blood is stirred toward race hatred and its consequent distress. "The true Southerner is the best friend the colored man has. Every Southern Negro realizes this; also that the South is the best place for him to live. When he behaves himself and is industrious, he is happier here and prospers. It is only through indifferentism that we stand on Rage 2." WILBERFORCE DROPPED TEACHER Wilberforce, Ohio.

Lankford (Dem. Ga.) Urges Jim Crow Street Cars, Trains and Stations in D. C. Washington, Feb. 14. Representative Wm. C. Lankford (Dem. Ga.) told Congress last week he not only approved of President Lowell's stand of excluding Negroes from Harvard, but also excluding them from all white schools in the North. Representative Lankford also took the occasion to discuss the race problem, urging Jim crow street cars, trains, libraries and parks for the city. Among other things he said were: "The so-called 'Jim Crow' law which makes whites and Negroes ride in separate coaches on trains, use separate seats in street cars, and use separate waiting rooms at the stations is a most excellent law for both races. "The best thing the Negro race could do for itself would be to say: 'Give us separate cars, separate waiting rooms, separate parks, separate schools, separate libraries, and separate sections of town to live in. We do not want to offend the white people in the least. They are our friends. We are theirs.'" "I believe the Negroes teach their children here to be as offensive to the whites as possible. The old and the young are doing well their part of building up a contempt of the white race for the Negroes. The Negroes of the North are destroying the chance they have by attempting to force themselves where they are not wanted and by being insolent and offensive. Many Negroes in the South would not under any circumstances come in at the front door of a white home unless specifically requested to do so. They do want to see white waiting room or ride on a train in the white coach if it offends the white man or white woman or white child in the least. These kind of Negroes are the saving power of the Negro race." Representative Lankford complained that there was no space in Union Station where colored people were prohibited. "Millions and millions of the people's money have been spent are spent each year on dozens of affronts of white officers in Washington, and most splendid music is furnished—for whom? For only the whites who want to associate with Negroes. "Oh, the disgrace of the Negro situation here in Washington! We have here in Washington a so-called reformatory for girls. It is filled up with Negro girls and a few white girls. In other words, the girls are made a white or does some wrong for which she could be corrected she is forced to live with a bunch of Negroes in order that she, a white girl, may be made better. The gang in authority in Washington who causes this to be done ought to be forced to eat with Negroes, sleep with Negroes, live with Negroes, smell Negroes, live with Negroes with Negroes in a penitentiary and during the full end and term of their natural lives.

The principal British Islands and their Negro population are Bahamas 53,031; Barbados 200,000; Jamaica $31,000; Leeward Islands 127,000; Trinidad 391,000; Windward Islands 75,000.

TWO WOMEN LEAP TO DEATH IN NEW YORK LODGING HOUSE FIRE Firemen Form Human Chain To Rescue Another Pinned Against Window by Flames (Consultant Service) New York, Feb. 14—Mrs. Clara Wilkinson, 27, was killed yesterday, three other colored women and four white firemen were hurt in a blaze which swept swiftly through a four-story lodging house at 130 West 55rd street, with whirlwind velocity. Flames and smoke pinned six occupants against windows, from which three jumped and were hurt and two were rescued by firemen. The sixth, a woman, remained astride a window sill until the flames had been put out. Next door to the fire, 150 cats and dogs in the New York Canine Infirmary, were thrown into a panic by the smoke. About 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Liza Southerland, who is 85 years old, and who lived on the second floor of the lodging house with her daughter, Mrs. Clark, decided to cook herself a late lunch. The stove, but her unstyled hand brought the flame too near a curtain. In a moment this had blazed up, and the flame had spread to other objects. The aged woman tried vainly to put out the fire, and then ran screening out of the building, leaving the doors open. Mrs. Southerland's screams had been heard by Mrs. Moran, a white woman, who, with her husband, managed the lodging house, and who ran to her own house on the floor, then closed the three doors and shouted "Fire." from the window. "Closing the doors behind me was the only thing that saved me," Mrs. Jenkins said. "I sat aside the fire. I sat aside the window still determined that I would not jump." "CALM DOWN," HENRY Detroit, Mich., Feb. 10.—Asking Henry Ford's office was it true that he is a Ku Klux sympathizer, the Afro-American was given the following reply: "Why not go to the source of this report?

Brown in the window above me scream, "Look out!" and when the smoke cleared a little I saw her lying unconscious in the snow in the yard. In the window at my fight I saw Clara Wilkinson intermittently through the smoke. She cried out to me, "What shall I do?" I replied, "Stop right where you are. She screamed back. My God, I can't! The flames are on my back!" A moment later she had thrown herself into the yard below. Mrs. Meran described the rescue of Florine Perry from windows above her. As the flames reached the inside Florine Edward.

Curry street, went on trial in Part 1 of the Criminal Court Thursday morning, charged with assaulting and criminally abusing 13-year-old Josephine Williams on January 10th. The case has been twice postponed. On the witness stand Josephine Williams, who gave the appearance of a simple child of 12 or 13 years of age, retold the story of how that after her mother had agreed for her to do several days work for Willard Greece she had gone to his home on the moring of the 26 of December and how that on the first day she was sent to her he had taken her as she was his work and given her a pair of shoes which she took home. Put Arms Around Her The following day as she was standing on a chair, according to her testimony he put his arms around her again and this time she protested. He then locked the doors as she was working and came back into the kitchen and after trying to persuade her to submit to him without avail he threw her down on a couch in the kitchen. She described the apartment as a two-room apartment and -described a couch and sink in the kitchen. This description dated into the physical facts of the Creech home. She described in detail the ordeal of her struggle with the many and said that she made several outcries until he placed his hand over her mouth and told her he would kill her if she told what had occurred. Creech Claims Alibi Taking the stand in his own defense Creech denied ever having employed the girl or that she had been to his house until the night, her mother brought her there after the crime. He offered an alibi, sating that he had gone to a picture show on the morning of the alleged crime. It was brought, however, by the States Attorney Cox that he was not working at the time and that he sated at the hearing that his employer had been accused of the Southwestern District sated that Creech had first sated at the hearing that he was employed and at work but that when the Magistrate ordered him to go ascertain whether he was telling the truth he called him back and sated that he was not employed. Comes From N. C. It was also brought out in his testimony that he was from North Carolina, and that he had been arrested here before for violation of traffic laws and that he had at one time skipped his bail. Dr. W. F. Noville testified that he examined the girl after she had been brought to him by her mother and that he found her in a very serious condition. Not only had there been violence but she also had been taken from the house caused by the crime. Under close examination Dr. Noville was made to enter into a detailed description of the scientific aspects of the case which he did with telling effect. Blood stained garments were shown the cobot. Mrs. Mary Creech, wife of the necused, testified that on the day of the alleged crime the spouse which Josephine described as covered with a dark covering was on the contrary covered with a white linen sheet. It was brought out in the cross examination however that this covering could have easily been removed. Officer Thomley stated that when he arrested Creech a covering such as Josephine described was on the couch. Nina Anna Williams, mother of the girl, testified that Creech came to her home on the morning of the 26th and asked her to allow her daughter to come and do some work for his wife. Josephine went there that day at 1 o'clock. On the following day she went back at nine o'clock and did not return until late in the afternoon. When she complained and stated that she did not want to go back to work she examined her and went to the Creech home. Creech was not certain until after the examination by Dr. Noville. Then she said she had Creech arrested. The trial was continued Friday morning. Years do not fix your age. Some are old at thirty, others are going at sixty.

PICKENS DENIES RESURRECTION AND TELLS WHY Continued From Page One minute, should stop for a second, the stoppage would generate enough heat to change the whole planet into exploding gases and reproduce the chaos of the atoms. No Material Heaven That there is a materialistic heaven animated with whatever space. That there is lake of fire in bismuth, or any such material hell anywhere. That God would ever consider the abomination of "eternal punishment" for little atomic human beings. In short, may brave, good and intelligent man will acknowledge that to him the very idea of hell is a helluvalde! Red Sea Probably Froze That the Red Sea ever deliberately parted into two wads, defying gravitation, while people walked across on the sea bed. They would sooner believe, as Booker Washington amusingly suggested, that it "froze" and they "skated necromachy on ice." That a universal flood ever corrupted the whole earth, since the mountains rose from the sea and man from the brute creations. That any priest ever wrought a miracle, in the sense of a violation or "breaking" of the laws of nature. Devil Never Was In Snake That the venomous, but slumbered and maltreated, snake ever housed the soul of the Devil, or that the much-abused and very much used hog ever harbored the evil spirits. That the Devil ever carried God into the water, or anywhere else. That it is a sin to eat meat on Friday. That there ever was or ever will be a baby in hell—if there be a hell. That the word of a priest can haggle any sacred thing more sacred. Denies Resurrection That all the billion-billion human bodies will ever 'rise' from the earth. Every human body uses over again the identical, material substances which were used by many bodies before it, and if ever they all had to 'rise' there would be bound to the fussing, contending and disputing over the same knee cap or hip joint! Nobody believes that the God who made the universe and set it to run by unbreakable and inexorable law, could ever have a need for helping himself out by sabrines. Nobody believes that anybody else achieves these abacus-like wisdom intelligence. And the sooner we think, act on Wet the truth toward ourselves in our follows, the sooner we will be thrived, the sooner the Cosmos are awakened God. SOUTH SPEAKS Continued From Eagle One A young colored person who gets in difficulty in the South, and he would have trouble anywhere. The same thing can be said of such white people. In certain deplores. The incidents made violence have broken out, but this is not a condition of the South alone, for you have record of much of this in the North, East and West. "The South is a good place for the Negro. Why not teach him to be content, fortify your good citizen? Don't put your own upset his position of mind, or teach him to despise the white people with whom he must live, or encourage him to migrate to a section which is strange to him, in which he does the tourish or cannot be at peace. Such articles as you mention, through their falseness are a great hindrance and drawback to the race. You are supposed to be helping. I know of no Southern policeman who is always ready to arrest colored people whether they break the law or not. Neither do I know any who are severe upon visitors because they are from the north, the south, or the forgotten about the Mosque and Dixon line. We are our country working men in hand. The policemen of Gainesville are after violators of the law, whether they be black or white. And I will say without hesitation Datin in Gainesville, Florida, the two faces live in as great hurry as the other, which I am familiar. -Ice Gee, Waldoz, Dentist, Mayor, Gainesville, Fla.

Greene, in the course of a session of First Colored Baptist Church, Carolina Moody streets; last Sunday morning. The church structure, although big, is for too small for the needs of the congregation, and was well filled when the pastor announced that the pastor was "right attitude to Worship God." Dearly apprehension greeted the pastor's statements that the members望 the church with clean bodies, clean months, not filled with coin, clean hearts, clean minds, ready for serious worship, not ready for Dominant of the fact that ushers were finding difficulty in sosem- iming calls for late comers, Dr. Grace de- declared that Christians should be no longer in their worship that the church should be crowded to see them, the method of leaving the children home. The place for the child, he added, is as much in the church to-day as it ever was. In the days of his youth, the pastor said, he was brought into the church and occu- pied a special place along with other days on the steps leading to the polite representative of the Ar- tian Americans, who visited First Church last Sunday not only heard a pra- ticed session and witnessed the parly response of the large congregation, but was cordially greeted by ushers, who did not know him, and who urged him to come again and to be able to take a part in the Mor's Day services.

Those who are interested in the study of religious bodies operating among the race will, necessarily, watch the growth of the comparatively new organization known as "The African Orthodox Church." The history of this new organization, in a sense, is directly connected with the movement, for many years, in the Episcopal Church to secure Negro Missionary Bishops. The Key, Dr. George Alexander McGuire, a very eloquent West Indian and formerly a priest of the Episcopal Church, became a member of the 1921, in the city of New York, formally organized "the African Orthodox Church." In the meantime, Dr. McGuire had been in correspondence with some of the prelatees of the Eastern, or Russian Church, endeavoring to source from such a source a valid Episcopalate. If there be one distinguishing mark of Episcopalians, more than another, it is the claim of having a ministry directly descended from the Apostles. Hence, it is in his new organizations, with the help of taking away the opportunity of doing any intensive work among the collected people, it was necessary that he should receive a "consecration" from such an historic source fully credited by the Anglican Communion throughout the world. The thing that readers this movement regularly interesting is the claim upon the part of Bishop McGuire that he has actually received such recognized Episcopal Conservation as Bishop. In the Negro Churchman a monthly magazine published by the Consistent of the African Orthodox Church, Bishop McGuire says: "For the benefit of our readers CHURCHES MEETING THE SOCIAL NEEDS That the churches are doing enough to meet the social needs of young members was the observation made by Rev. D. G. Mack speaking before the Co-operative Baptist Ministerial Meeting at Calvary Baptist church last Monday. He said the churches should not only look after the spiritual needs of the members, but also sort of attraction that made for a well-rounded type of Christian manhood and womanhood. Jev. W. J. Jefferson said that his church had inaugurated a social hour and made a plan for the development of the esthetic, physical and mental side of life along with that of the spiritual. Jev. John W. Jones told of the work that the Baptist Young People's Union is doing at Ebenezer Baptist Church in beinging and keeping the young people together.

Multhy street, near the end of her home for the most week is slowly improving. we shall give briefly the data concerning the source of the Episcopate of the African Orthodox Church. S. Peter became the first bishop and patriarch of Antioch in Syria about A. D. 38, rejoining over his see for six years before he became Bishop of Rome. He was succeeded by Rydolls, and then by S. Ignatius Peter II. In 1872, S. Ignatius Peter II became the 15th successor of S. Peter in his original chair at Antioch. It was this Ignatius Peter who by a patriarchal bishol in 1814 allowed the conservation of the Priest Joseph Hene Vilatte, with the title of Archbishop, Apostolian and name of Mar. Orthodox L. for churches of the Orthodox Church, and the diocese of America. On May 29, 1882, Archbishop Vilatte was consecrated in Ceylon by Archbishop Alvarex, assisted by Bishops Paul Althusius and George Gregorius. Alvarez had been consecrated in 1889 by Athanasius and two others. Athanasius received his own consecration from the hands of Ignatius Peter himself in 1877. September 28, 1891, George Alexander the First Synod of the African Orthodox Church, was consecrated, after necessary baptism, confirmation ordination to minor orders, the deaconate and priesthood, by Archbishop Vilatte, in the Church of Our Lady of Good Death, Chicago, assisted by Bishop Wylah, in the presence of a large congregation, including a large congregation, including a large clergymen of the Protestant Episcopal Church, and a few friends of the Dr. McGhee during his long service as a minister of that body." Bishop McGhee further says: "It is a branch of the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church controlled entirely by Colored Churchmen. In its first year it has expelled its missions through several States, into Canada, Cuba, and Haiti. Besides the theism there are also Anglican Priests, 3 beacons, 2 bishops, and several bacons, who cultists in training." This new organization uses pretty much the same ecclesiastes as obtain in the Roman Catholic Church. Its headquarters are located at 221 W. 125th street, New York City. PRESIDING ELDERS PLAN CONFERENCE Ministers of the Baltimore A. M. E. Conference are speculating on the outcome of the annual meeting of the four presiding elders, Ilews, C. Harold Steptoe, R. E. Ford, John S. Collins and James A. Erissoe, which will be held at any time. March 18. The presiding elders are not only expected to canvass the work of the conference, but may prepare a tentative state of appointments for submission to Bishop J. Albert Johnson in advance of the annual session of the conference, which will be held on March 18. E. Church the latter part of May. New presidents are to be sent to St. John's, Waters, Wayman and Carroll stations, this city, and to at least two Washington churches. In connection with the meeting of presiding elders, the presiding elders will be held, with addresses by ministers and laymen dealing with various questions affecting the denomination. PASTORS PLANNING A resolution was passed at the monthly session of the Western Shore Preachers' Meeting, held at Wayman Memorial A. M. E. Church Wednesday of April 16, 2014, looking toward the establishment of extension courses for young men preparing for the ministry. It was pointed out that many interested in religious work cannot get the training they desire at home and this would aid in filling that gap. A committee, headed by Rev. C. H. Stepton, presented the matter before the Baltimore A. M. E. Preschool Ministry at Bethel A. M. Church last Monday. The ministers agreed with the suggestion and returned it to the Baltimore Conference Committee on Education for final action.

Howard St. Phone Phone VE rnon 3898 Four high-class vaudeville acts comprise the stage attraction at the Regent this week, namely: Roy White and "Candy" Pennell; Richardson and Moore, male duo; Viola McCoy, single, and Jenkins and Jenkins (Hezkiah and Dorothy). White and Pennell won high favor with the audience. His singing, his repetition of "That Man," and his taking two encores, and his partner for her boozy style of eccentric humor of the Eva Tanguy order. She is one of the best feminine funmakers in the business. Both are clever dancers. Richardson and Moore, the former under cork, specialized in foot captors and pulled something really new in this line. Moore is exceptionally nitty with his "dogs". Viola McCoy showed real chase in putting over several song number, with her numerous hits, of the time "I'm All On Me And Running Wild." Her costumes, of which she made two changes, were pretty and showed taste. Jenkins and Jenkins presented their familiar act of the porter and the maid, but it was the same big hit that it was when first presented, and then they fairly "cleaned up" with a musical finish, he playing the harmonica and she playing a guitar accompaniment. They left stage after several encounters to the deafening applause. The little lady is quite eager on the masculine eye. Special attention is called to "Rich Men's Wives," the big screen feature which will be shown Monday and Tuesday. ROOSEVELT. "The Young Rajah" The initial offering at the Roosevelt next Monday will be "The Young Rajah" starring Rodolph Valentine the real sheikh among screen leading men, with background and offers the opportunity for the famous Rodolph to be seen in one of his picturesque characterizations. This picture is the last big feature Valentine made before going on to strike with his contract. It will be shown for four days. On Friday and Saturday the big feature will be "The Light In The Dark" starring hope Hampton. This picture is a thrilling drama of love and mystery and shows the beautiful Hope in one of the most interesting roles she has ever enacted. Special attention is called by the management big feature "Hill Sesas" featuring Deddy Yellow and Jack Hook which will be shown today (Friday) and "The Ghost Breaker" starring the late Wallace Reid supported in the feminine lead by Lila Lee which will be the big feature tomorrow. CAREY "Way Down East" OKel Records though it is a type that is generally considered too expensive for the smaller class of houses. Aside from the drama which is of the tones, there is an abundance of comedy, and the storm scene is the most sensational ever seen on the screen. On Wednesday, another big feature will be shown entitled "The Mohican's Daughter" a picture of the early West dealing with the adventures that the white settlers encountered in the infancy of the Republic. Special attention is called by the management to the first episode of "Plunder" Pearl White's latest serial which will be shown on Friday of the present week, also a Duster Keaton comedy entitled "The Face" chapter three of "The Social Interaction of Jack Mullah and Marguerite Livingston and a Neely Edwards comedy entitled "Some Service." Departing from the usual routines, the management will offer a treat to their kiddie patrons on Saturday morning at 10 o'clock and Judy show will be given and tricks of magic by Prof. Dehols. LINCOLN James Crescent Players The James Cresson Players, featuring Master Freddie James, the 11-year-old performer, is the stage offering at the Lincoln this week, where they packed them in clear out to the sidewalk Monday. The group have since made a small time appearance on Monday that "did their stuff" in a manner that had the house for a riot. Wilkie Glover, who is rapidly coming to the front as a comedian of talent, heads the funnaking, and his original antics really "got the ride." The show opens with a mini-act in which Master James showed himself a finished "hoofer." Roxie Caldwell surprised with a real classy mole-impera­sion and a quartet composed of Tillie Johnson, feminine; Gloves, Ralph Dellyon, the well-known kisso, and Caldwell, the well-known kisso, and retired a riot of audience. In a closing skit entitled, "Under Arizona Skies," good character is done by DeLayon in a twin role of Mexican and a ruler sheriff, Book Clayton. DeLayon is played by Ford Jackson, in a blackface impression, and Abel Payne as a ranch foreman. Clover's fammaking ability in this skit was well demonstrated. Other members of the company, Jose Johnson, the Curry and Evelyne Johnson, the Curry and Evelyne and ninety chorus. Pictures complete the bill.

DOUGLASS "Chocolate Town" "Intermittent silence that seems to be the fate of the Douglass Theatre is again being broken this week, the attraction being "Chocolate Town," a quasi-minstrel-vaudeville type of entertainment presented by a large group of unusually clever and experienced entertainers. However, the show, while offering an evening of entertainment that is not up to the standard of some of the musical shows that have been seen at this house somewhat recently. Coy Herdon, the famous hoop roller, who also staged the attraction, and Cecelia Coleman, a tiny little bunch of dancing humanity that is just about the best ever seen here, are the outstanding members of the troups. Herdon's hoops are worth the price of admission: The show opens with a minstrel first part with Leon Diggs as interlude with Milton Cuniff, Joseph Warren, Roy Ginson, and Joe Clemons, minstrel ends. The jokes drew well as laugh-getters from the large audience, but the songs were those which have served their day. An oil followed, during which more jokes and some clever dancing, especially by Filly Arnte, who spent many years in England and has a medal which was given to him. The closing skit was the overworked act of the bogus oil speculators with Arnte and Gibson in the roles of the "skinners. With a new book and new songs, "Chocolate Town" could be made into a tine entertainment. As it was, many in the audience seemed to enjoy it. One of the features is a band of musicians who play the horn musician being a real "knuckout." The show is nicely outfitted. W. A. Kelly is musical director, with Piccolo Jones at the piano. NATIONAL Donna Theresa's Revue Donna Theresa's Revue is the stage attraction at the National this week, where there it was greeted by capacity milions, Monday matinee and night. This company is in the front rank of the best that visit the local boards: The funmaking is headed by Ominie Clemons as "Lodgipon" who is a recently expable comedian, in which department he is able assisted by Felix Wiggins. Eddie Wilson is the "straight" and the feminine lead is handled by Miss Theresa. The show opens with a mangle of song and dance, and the closing skit is entitled "Get-the-Money Charlie" during which Jones and Wiggins set the house sermoning with their comedy team, other members of company who did the gig, work are Stelia Jones, Eilee Moore, Annie James and Emma Davenport. Pictures complete the bill. DUNBAR "Way. Down East" The initial special feature at the Dunbar next Monday will be "Way Away" a special version of the famous stage play of the same title which was a dramatic standby for a quarter of a century before the days of Ziegfield Follics and bedroom fares. One of the sensations of this picture is a snow storm scene that is the greatest ever witnessed on the silver sheet. Richard Barthelmess and Lillian Gish are the featured players. This picture will be seen for two days. On Wednesday, the big feature will be "Deep Water," a Paramount super-special; on Thursday, "His Wife's Hushband," a domestic drama of love and jealousy will be shown, and on Friday, "Money To Turn." a fine drama of the stock market, a ring William Russell, the main attraction, on Saturday, the program will comprise the first episode of "The World in Eligh-Days" a comedy entitled, "The Wise Duck," chapter 18 of "In the Dars of Buffalo Bill," and other short subjects. The management al- so invites special attention, to "Destiny Isles" and "Desert's Crucible" written to be shown Friday and Saturday of this week, in the order named.

Excavators Take Figure of Pretty Brown Woman From Tomb of Ancient Pharaohs SMILE DAZZLES WORKERS Scientists Refer To It As Mona Lisa of Ancient Egypt. Luxor, Egypt, Feb. 10. (Special correspondence to Associated Negro Press)—For more than 3,000 years a colored woman has been smiling the most amazing smile one ever saw in the dark tomb of King Tutankhamen. She was carried out today into the blinding sunlight and a dozen modern men and women grasped with amazement until someone found the right phrase to describe her quasidynamic smile: "It is the Mont List of ancient kings." Nothing like her has ever been found before. She is a life size statue with a high waist, made of wood, and thinly coated with plaster. The image is painted a golden color and obviously was modeled from life. She struck a human chord in every heart, but who was she? What woman has been smiling that engages smile for centuries in Pharuru.

It is fronted with a sacred usurus, or snake, a symbol of royalty and possibly it is a crown designed by her friend Akhmaton. Her figure is that of an immature girl. Is it possible that there we have the first hint of a 3,000-year-old love story? Is the statue one of Princess Ankhsenpaten modelled before her marriage, a statue for which the king held a romantic affection and directed to be buried with him to keep him company and smile on him during his long journey in the shade? Her wonderful eyes are jet black with gleaming whites. They will never be forgotten by those who saw her happily smiling when she returned to a changed world.

COMING—Next Week—Douglass Fairbanks in "THE THREE MUSKETEERS" First Showing in Colored Theatres --- A very dark man jumped off the front end of a Charles street car at Preston street the other day and rushed for a Preston street car at breakneck speed. He was going so fast that he ran into a white man with flowing moustache and had to clench him in order to avoid bowling him over. As he grabbed the white man in his lips snacked those of the former. The white man grew red in the face, woman on the Charles street car giggled, the colored man begged a quick pardon and made his goal. "That white man cannot say he's never been kissed by a colored person, even though the kisser is a man", observed one colored man to another standing on the corner.

That is, the intelligent Negroes of the State interpret our State Superintendent to mean that Huffington will be showed off on them, whether they it or not, until the "sands of the deep green" or until Gabriel stands with one foot upon his hand, and one foot upon the soa, shouting "Time is, time was, but time shall be no longer." Perhaps then, he may whistle for Huff and Loc to come in. Amen. The Principal did not believe that Huffington had been dishonest in the deal, and knew that he wanted the situation concealed for fear of hurting his newly won eminence, he turned "hunter for pain, and varnishes," recovered what he could of it and got the job over with. The Principal afterwards said he was repaid for his efforts with a laugh and a lesson. The laugh came from seeing the Frenchman chisused physically by a woman merchant with one hand, while she held a bucket of paint with the other. The laugh took the heating but held on to the Therefore it is as a practical man of business that we shall discuss Huffington this week. Shortly after the election of Dr. Cook, Huffington, who evidently received a lease of authorize not possessed before, set out to take everything promptly in hand at the St. Louis School in Jefferson Park. His was an "I will show you attitude." The authorities there said, that a hen cackling on the farm seemed to be an affront, because of his not being consulted before the cackle and about what the cackle meant. Repairs and furnishings and materials needed had been formerly seen after by the Principal, but not now. The windows of one of the huffington schools self needed painting. Huff promptly took this in hand. A Frenchman named Delacroixaux, had painted the residence of Huffington in Baltimore and was immediately engaged to tackle the school job. It may amuse my readers to know that the Frenchman afterwards beasted in Iowa, that he had used fish oil instead of linseed oil in the oil he used to make his hats. Now the Frenchman did not have any ready money, so Tuffy hires himself, to The Sherwin-Williams point people in Baltimore and obligates the State for several hundreds of dollars for paint and varnishes. The job itself could have been done at a profit for $500.00. Huttington had contracted to pay about $100.00 to the job did not go properly. The paint had been shipped to the school and the Frenchman, instead of using it on the buildings was using it as currency of the realm.

I might add that the Frenchman was painting the merchant's house with school paint. This article is growing too long, but just this other incident, showing the great practical sense of Huffy. Last year, the farmer at the school, Mr. Hirum Wildy, was seen almost in collapse. He said that Huffington was pushing him to secure an oxen or a team of oxen and a one-man scoop shovel, and that he was to take them and scoop off in his leisure time, the long hill, which lies South of the school buildings at Jericho Park. He was to haul the dirt into the depression at the west foot of the river. You must pass the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks and the river and beautify the situation. Splendid scheme, only it could not have been done that way in a hundred years, and with money, appliances and engineers, it is doubtful it it could have been done for $250,000. This is not laughable. It is pittable. No man need laugh at another man's impracticality or inability. We are fortunately or unfortunately born with or without certain inherent capacities. But it is important that men should find their proper places or be put in their proper places. It can never be anything but a tragedy to place authority in weak and insufficient hands. A tragedy to the welder of authority and to those who suffer by his direction. (Next week—Lee and Huffy, or Famous "End Men" in the great Educational Faces.)

"On several occasions," she stated, when I have been out playing cards and had to go home late alone, I have had him drive me home often after twelve o'clock, and often at this time through the park, in the household, also testified to this effect. I prefer him to the risk of calling a taxi, and have felt safer with him." Miss Helen Shipley, 1118 McCulloth street, employed in the Rosanbush home, stated that Wilson was in the house playing the grappophone with the Rosenbush children the evening of the alleged assault. The Rosenbush, one of the boys in the household, also testified to this effect. This is a screen version of the famous stage play and tells of a Puritanical father who in his rigid adherence to the path of righteousness, drives a young woman from his house into a howling blizzard when he learns that she has been guilty of the one unforgivable sin. The son of the household, however, has fallen madly in love with the girl and goes out into the storm to save her and it is in this incident that one of the greatest storm scenes is shown.

An Emphatic Denial Of An Infamous Lie To whom it may concern: In justice to the church, my family, my husband, the Rev. Wm. H. Dean, and myself, I take this means of denying the infamous lie, that has been circulating for the past few days that my husband, the Rev. Wm. H. Dean had heard her. When this news reached me I sought the author, I traced it to Mrs. Lodge Compton, cook at the Aged Lot and Women's Home. After a conference with the Rev. E. S. Williams, District Superintendent of the Baltimore District, had told her, I then sought the Rev. E. S. Williams who said he was accused on the street by a woman who told him. The Rev. E. S. Williams woman, but she said she was a member of the Sharp Sn. Memorial M. E. Church. This rumor circulated last year and previous years prior to the meeting of the Annual Conference—knowing it to be an infamous lie—the Rev. Dean and I have given it little or no consideration. In justice to myself and others mentioned, I feel it my duty as the wife of a Christian minister, a good kind husband and loving father, to make this statement of denial. Signet: ULLA ELLA C. DEAN.

THINGS TO DO ON THE FARM THINGS TO DO ON THE FARM By J. F. ARMSTRONG Planting Sow hardy vegetables in hot beds for later transplanting. A long list of seeds, both vegetables and flowers, may be sown under glass in Maryland this month, and the hardy vegetables include seed of cabbage, caniflower, turnips, onions, lettuce, radishes and beets. Leave tender vegetables, such as potatoes and peppers until March. Vaccinate plants against this State in February; leaves these until March or April. Farm Operations Spring will be upon us within 25 or 30 days. Be sure you have all the seed needed, and only the best seed. Prune trees, vines and bushes. Store ice for summer; cut wood for next winter; if there is any fencing or ditching or stump-pulling to be done, now is a good time to do it. Rake up leaves and other trash in gardens and convert into compost by mixing it with manure or poultry droppings. Humors of this plowed or sprained into the soil help mightily with crop production.

TURNER'S STATION, MD! Phone: 212-745-1234 THREE CANDIDATES NOW UP FOR MAYOR Nomination The entrance of former Mayor James H. Preston into the mayoralty race as a candidate on a non-partisan ticket means that the colored vote will be split three ways at the election in May. There are many tax-paying colored voters who admire the progress that the city made while he was his chief executive. They showed this confidence when many voted for his re-election in 1915. That the Preston forces will appeal to thoughtful colored voters is believed by many. In fact, when Mr. Preston was a candidate for re-election in 1915, he appeared in the session of the Washington M. E. Conference at John Wesley M. E. Church and made what many regarded as an appeal for colored sup- Then Howard Jackson, the Democratic organization candidate, has some influential admirers among the colored citizens and he will get some support. Colored voters helped to strengthen his majority in the defeated Dr. Harry C. Wright for deks of the Court of Common Pleas 1815 and in 1821, when he was re-elected. City Councilman Warner T. McGuinn and William L. Fitzgerald, who are expected to be candidates for re-election in the newly-created Fourth Councilman District, may have opposition in the primaries. Friends of C. Marcellus Dorssey are asking him to enter the race and he is considering the matter. "A number of voters have asked me to enter the lists," Mrs. Dorssey said in response to a query. "I have not decided whether to run or not, however, but will make up my mind within a few days." LANDON A number of colored Republican candidates attended the annual Lincoln Day dinner at Hazzazers Hall under the auspices of the City Republican Committee, Monday night. They occupied two tables in the middle of the banquets and were cordially greeted on all sides. Those who attended were, City Councilman Warner, T. McGinnion, City Councilman Wm. L. Flitzgerald, Ward Executives Walter Emerson and Charles Bull Miss Hazel Macbeth, Mrs. M. Coleman, Mrs. Nannie Butler, Mrs. M. Jordan, Mrs. George Frye, W. T. Andrews, Arthur Briscoe, Carl Murphy, Arthur L. Macbeth, Josiah Diggs and Dawson Durbin. ACADEMIC CLUB FORMED One of the developments of the week was the quiet organization of a movement among a group of colored voters to further the candidacy of Howard W. Jackson. A reporter from the Apollo-American asked a number of colored men and women voters as to their preferences for the Mayoralty, and found that sentiment was divided between the three candidates. Some pleaded for time to consider matter. Others followed. MRS. IDA WARNER, president of the Colored Women's Republican Club of the 21st Ward—Broening. MRS. MARIE L. WILLIAMS, Republican woman executive of the 17th Ward—1 anticipate that Broening will have a hard fight for reelection, but I will support him. I know Mr. Moore will never, and he may be regarded for him. CEO, W. M. McCUIEN—I have not made up my mind. J. STEWARD DAVIS, lawyer—I am unbelievably opposed to William F. Brenning for Mayor. His absolute dental of the rights of my race are suffiled to make him a person non grata to me. To return Brenning to the City Hall is tantamount to sending Cale O'Neill to man in the United States Senate. I prefer to see the grand cipher of the Klu Klux Klan in the White House than see the impossible Brenning in the City Hall. DR. JAMES A. WHITE dentist—Mr. Presston made a fine record along the lines of efficiency and improvements when Mayor. If he means what he says this time in that he intends to deal fairly with all elements of the citizenry then he should command support among colored voters. MATHER J. HENRY DORSEY, Catholic priest—I am no politician, but know that Presston greatly improved the city white Mayor. GARFIELD LAWSON, 545 W. West street—None of Breening for me. I am waiting to see if he will have an opponent in the primaries before making any other decision. W. C. McCARD, lawyer—I have not quite made my mind but am finding Howard Jackson. H. D. HAVENPORT, business man—While I am undecided to as to whom I will support, it will not be Breening. Preston offers a hope for the tax-payers. REV. A. L. GAINES—I have not given the matter any thought, and furthermore, am not in politics. C. MARCENE—I will not made up my mind, but am constantly hearing anti-Breening sentiment in this section of the city. MRS. HOWARD E. YOUNG, president of the Colored Women's Surfing Club of Maryland.—I have not made up my mind. JOHN W. JONES—1422 Jefferson street, am watchfully waiting to see which candidate should be voted for. MRS. GEORGE E. FREY, 1018 Linden avenue—I believe in standing by the old party. ROY. S. BOND, laywer—Because of Preston's stand against us in the housing segregation movement, I considered. I have made no decision regarding the other candidates. W. ASHBIE HAWKINS, independent candidate for the United States Senate, in 1920—I have not made up my mind as yet, but am certainly SPOKE SIGN LANGUAGE Attorney Davis Wins Case For Client Against Deaf And Dumb Man Fannie Wallace, 508 S.

Steward Davis, who represented the accused, caused amusement in his attempts to question the accuser. The woman was found not guilty. MRS. WILLIAMS LOSES $15,000 SLANDER SUIT Court Throws Out Cases Against Ten Neighbors Who Wanted Her To Move Elsewhere EVERYTHING CALM NOW The long drawn-out fight between a number of residents of the 1200 block of Dudley Hill avenue, and Mrs. Lainetta Williams, who has conducted various enterprises at 1226, ends in a conclusion Friday of last week when her $15,000 damage suit against ten defendants was lost in the Court of Common Pleas for lack of sufficient evidence. Six years ago certain residents of the 1200 block began an effort to prevent Mrs. Williams from treating what they believed to be a questionable and possibly poorly placed, and untimed, time instituted complaints to the authorities and sought to have her curbed by petition. On one or two occasions her place was ridden by the police department, and at one of these raids she was fined $100 and costs for keeping a disorderly house by the Magistrate of the Northwestern Police Station. Finally following the circulation of a petition, Mrs. Williams went into the Court of Common Pleas with a damage suit charging shaded and loss of money and prestige as a result of damaging allegations made by the signers of the petition. The complaint named as defendants Des. and Mess. Edward Wheatley, Arthur Segal, John Wolt, William Hole, Mme. Anne Heath, William Carroll, Rev. Columbus, John Jackson, Miss M. Edith Columbus, Miss Charlotte Owens, and Miss S. Hardy. On the witness stand Mrs. Williams claimed that these men had women had persecuted her for years and had caused her much embarrassment. She claimed that she had never conducted a disorderly house and that the raids had been made because of the fear of compulsions of the home. She admitted that the home had been raided several times, and that she had been timed. Following the taking of testimony Judge Amber ruled that the evidence did not justify grounds for damages and found for the defendants. All of the suit's claims were wille prove successful, complaint to pay costs in each case. Attorney Hawkins represented the defendants. According to a statement made by Mrs. Williams, the matter is settled as long as the defendants stop molesting her. Following the trial, she said, she and Mrs. Wheaty exchanged friendly hand shakes, she believed that she would end here. She admitted that she would hold on to her residence at place and take care of her own affairs. PASTOR HELD Post-Office Inspector Says He Sent Vile Letters Through Mail The Rev. Silas W. H.

STAFFORD UNDER FIRE STAFFORD UNDER FIRE "Come on, honey. I'm going your way." Prohibition Agent Charles Stafford was said to have yelled from his auto at Mrs. R. Thomison, white, at Howard and Fayette Sus. last week. Stafford admitted being in that neighborhood but denied the charge. Magistrate Johannsen fixed him $25 in the Western Police Station Sunday.

ARRESTS SHOW TRAFFIC IN DOPE AND "LIKKER" ARRESTS SHOW TRAFFIC IN DOPE AND "LIKKER" "Shots" Cost $1 Per And Many Stills Are Uncovered The recent arrests of colored men and women in various sections of the city on the charge of unlawfully peddling cocaine and other habit-forming drugs indicate that considerable traffic of this kind is going on in certain neighborhoods. The dope peddlers addicts are along Pennsylvania avenue, Fairmount avenue, South Dallas street, South Bethlehem street, Eisen, Hughes and Charles streets in the vicinity of Lee, as well other places. The peddlers are said to be doing a thriving business among the addicts and have a "ring of their own. If a new person invades their home the addicts are tipped off. The price of a "shot" is usually $1 and it is a wonder to many where the addicts get so much money to buy the stuff. Bootlegging on a rather large scale is said to be going on among some colored people, who make booth and sell it to their neighbors. Several stills are reported to be in operation in the northwest section, others are said to be located in Peach alley, Hughes and other nearby streets and, of course, they are said to abound in certain sections of East Baltimore.

NEGRO IS FATHER OF THE HUMAN RACE SAY S HANSBERRY Howard Univ. Professor of Ancient History Addresses Crowd at Y. M. C. A. Building Sunday NEW DISCOVERIES TOLD OF Remains of Civilizations Discovered in Central Africa Change All Former Beliefs The Negro of the black race is the father of the human races, declared Professor Leo Hansberry, professor of Ancient History at Howard University in an address at the Y. M. C. A. Sunday afternoon. The lecture was the second of a series of six being given on Sunday afternoon, and was heard by the Y. M. C. A., and the Y. W. C. A., in joint meeting. Rev. Francis J. Crinke is the speaker next Sunday. "Excavations in the past twenty years have changed all our historical theories," declared Professor Hansberry. Excavations in Central Africa have brought to light the remnants of a high Negro civilization which once existed there of a higher type than anything in Home or Greece. "Skeletons have been found, which white scientists declare are those of the oldest human beings we know anything about. In other words, the present theory is that the human race had its beginning in Central Africa. Negroes were the first humans. For Central Africa they migrated into the Nile Valley developing the Egyptian civilization, and as they became accustomed to the colder climates by crossing into Europe and Asia, the color of the black people changed into brown, thence into brunettes and finally into the blondes. "Old theories told us that the black race was a child race, undeveloped and never had produced any civilization. Anarchaeologists tell us today that the Negro was the first race and developed civilization beyond the wildest dreams of the Negroes of today." Explaining the origin of the flat nose and the black skin, so freewheeling, pointed out as marks of inferiority, Prof. Hansberry declared that nature gave the colored man the pigment of his skin to resist the direct rays of the tropical sun. Whitmen, because of the lack of such pigment, are unable to live comfortably in the tropics. The nose of the black race is that in tropical countries, because he needs large qualities of the hot air there to furnish him with the oxygen needed in the lungs for the blood in cooler climates, said Prof. Hansberry, oxygen is more abundant in the atmosphere and large wide nostrils are not necessary to insure the individual a plentiful supply of air nourishment.

He admitted having lived with the girl and with being the father of her child, but was saved from prosecution on the more serious charge because of the fact that when the relations began he was less than 18 years of age. He was convicted of bastardy and paroled to provide for the child, determined by the probation department.

With the entrance of more than 200 pupils from the eighth grade on the first of this month the maximum capacity was reached, and they are all senior high pupils. As yet no junior high schools have been established for colored pupils. The present location at the corner of Pennsylvania and Dolphin street is packed and jammed with the more than 1,500 senior high pupils, while the work of remodeling one or two buildings on the new site purchased at Eaker and Carry streets proceeds slowly. It is hoped, however, to install the first-year and domestic science classes there by the end of March. Meantime, the congestion at the present quarters has resulted in the classes being taught in shifts from 8:30 a.m. to 5:36 p.m. and sometimes teachers occupy the same rooms at different times during the day. WHY PLAN WAS HELD UP Actual construction on the new High School building has been held up. Superintendent West explained this week, because it was found necessary to revise the plans. "One of the present buildings on the site," he said, "which we thou we could use, we had to tear down and make provision for this deficiency by changing the plans of the new school." Asked if the plans for the new High School included a swimming pool, Dr. West said, "the plans of none of the new schools contemplate a swimming pool. Not a single school in the city is to have a swimming pool as for as I know some day they may." Annual Father and Son supper at "Y" building Friday night Feb. 23rd.

Georgia added two more to its lynching record last week. Why not? When the Senate killed the Dyer Bill, it gave every state the right to hold lynching parties as much as it desires. Texas Lynches First, Investigates Later. Despatches from Waco, Texas, this week tell of the arrest of an alleged criminal who confessed to eight murders in and around the city in 1922. The same despatches state that as a punishment for the crimes this man confesses, one man is imprisoned; another sentenced to be hanged, and a third has already been "tried" by a mob, convicted and burned at the stake. All three denied the crimes charged against them. From all which it is perfectly evident that it is the law of the mob to lynch some victim first, and then if necessary investigate to find out who committed the crime. Fred. Douglass on "Mammies" If Frederick Douglass were alive today, he would utter a protest against the plan of the Daughters of the Confederacy to erect a monument to the "Black Mammies of the South" in Washington. Douglass was a slave himself, lived thru the period of reconstruction nearly to the close of the 19th century. Speaking at the Sixth Annual Colored High School Commencement here in 1894, he declared that the other race "likes" the Negro in ignorance and in rags. "He is not to be in his place." It is only when the "Negro acquires education, property and influence, only when he attempts to rise and be a man among men that he invites repression." "Even in the laws of the South, excluding the Negro from railroad cars and other places, care is taken to allow him to ride as a servant, valet or porter." Mr. Douglass, if alive, would say to the Confederate Daughters "you would honor the ignorant and ragged mothers of my race with a monument of stone, and you would deny their cultured and educated daughters the right to vote or the comfort of a sleeping car. Away with your empty, meaningless honors. The Negro will have none of them."

The word "ovation" used to describe the reception given Mayor Broening when he appeared at the Lincoln Day Dinner under the auspices of the Republican City Committee Tuesday should be, used advisedly. Naturally there was applause, why shouldn't there be? He was the most important public official present, the speaker of the occasion and the head of the party in Baltimore city. But this applause was neither so spontaneous nor so vociferous as the applause which greeted Mr. Broening when he was a candidate for Mayor four years ago. The times have changed. Ghosts of colored constables he failed to appoint, of the colored member on the School Board he would not name, of the Ku Klux Klan marching thru the city by permission of the Mayor haunted Hazaers Hall Tuesday night. And they will haunt the Mayor thru the coming campaign. Boogy Man After West Indies. West Indian editorial writers are of the opinion that all the talk of the United States-purchasing the West Indies Islands from France and England springs from the inventive brains of what the Jamaican Times terms "Mischievous American Writers." For the benefit of the Times, the following ought to be noted. 1. The U. S. Navy Department is looking for naval bases in the West Indies. Secretary Denby is going out in person this spring to scout around. 2. Of the five principal trade routes passing thru and around the West Indies, four carry trade in which the U. S. has chief if not exclusive interest. 3. The U. S. has spent millions on the Panama Canal and is preparing to build a second canal connecting the Atlantic and Pacific. 4. Last but not least let the West Indies note what has happened to Hayti and Santo Domingo, which had no strong mother country to protect them from Uncle Sam. All this evidence fitted together makes it plain that the boogy man after the West Indies is not the newspaper writers but the greedy fist of the United States Government. Nobody Believes Dr. William Pickens' article believes" printed in another part a statement of what he believes, is his credo from what is common that no end of discussion is bour. And yet the credo of Dr. Pic substance in many of the leadin Dr. William Pickens' article on "What Nobody Believes" printed in another part of this paper is after all a statement of what he believes. So greatly at variance is his credo from what is commonly taught in our churches, that no end of discussion is bound to result. And yet the credo of Dr. Pickens has been taught in substance in many of the leading theological schools of the country for the past quarter of a century. Nearer home, it was taught by Dr. Albert Cook in Howard Theological Seminary for several years until he was virtually forced to resign. Abraham Lincoln subscribed to the same views and wrote them down for publication. His law partner, William Herndon, persuaded him not to put them in book form because they might ruin his public career. Perhaps the times have changed and public men may express their unorthodox views without "ruining their careers." fifteen.Minutes of Life. According to records of the City Health Department Little Baby Grayson of 756 Vine street short time ago and lived just fifteen years ago, many men and women thoughtlessly throw away a hundred times more minutes than this little nite of humanity had met out. They were wrong. There is always something tragic about death but to come into this world and live only fifteen minutes seem more than tragic. people who soothe their conscience by believing that such tragedies as this the will of God rather than the results of malahjusted human relations may day by day spark a life in the blight of some cause somewhere or somehow something human has gone wrong. They can only grasp their tiny hands and give one last grasp for the life that is denied them. Maybe you will say as you think of the veiwstitudes and struggles that await those who work in the office. But suppose it had been YOU or ME. Or worse than that, suppose it had been Frederick Douglass. Abraham Lincoln or Christ of Nazareth? Passing of "Eggie" Carr. On February 1, Charles "Eggie" Carr, for a long time the target of the Prohibition enforcement forces here in Baltimore, was divested of his land and storage for the local office. A side of criticism directed against the local department against the vulnerable alleged criminal record of Carr served to force him to leave. Carr became connected with the department more than a year ago by reason of the fact that he knew the whiskey business. If he was connected with the criminal element before he came into the department this fact made him more valuable to agents operating here. It is said that 75% of the cases made by local agents were worked up by Carr and he was feared and hated by a certain class of bootleggers as no other man was. There is little doubt that a fight would have been made upon him anyway had he been as spotless as the virgin snow for he was a Negro. Since he became connected with the department he boasts that save for alleged infringement of traffic regulations while in the discharge of his duty, he has been accused of no crime. Efforts have been made to "buy" or bribe him but he leaves his job with a clean record and many a dispenser of illegal whiskey will get his first long breath. Rev. Elliott on Dr. Grant. Rev. Mr. Best Elliott, one of the outstanding ministers in Baltimore takes a fling at the theology of the much discussed Dr. Grant. He has also like to touching as much as his daily the very minima of human short comings, has no sympathy with the humanistic doctrines of Dr. Grant, it is reasonable to suppose that the colony of the city is a unit against him. It would be a great surprise to most ministers if they could analyze the actual religious beliefs of the men of the colony, men and women. For many years Dr. Grant has been one of those church leaders who has put emphasis on the social teachings of the men and women of the dignostic mysticism of ages. These social teachings few of our religions bodies are following today. Even with all our progress towards the millennium of Christ, we still have the same form and with the same doctrines and social teachings, he would be branded as a socialist or Bolshevist and would be again The Christ who talked with the women at the Well of Samaria; who drove the money changers out of the city; who raised the rich man to sell all he had and give it to the poor, would find little consolation from the holders of wealth who rule religion today. The most of the churches have raised the cross of gold and man's relation to man is far from the brotherly love propounded by the Man of God, except the opulence that includes the masses of humanity, age antagonists. It was this teaching of Dr. Grant which sought to put the Man of God Christ into the man to man and woman to woman here on earth that met the sage and not his misunderstood statements on the divinity of man and woman are divine, how can we doubt the divinity of Christ? That which would do the wold most good, would do the human applause of the Christ to the acts of men.

As a citizen he enjoys the constitutional guarantee of equal rights under the law; as a Negro he is practically deprived of his guaranteed rights.

Postal Service Centuries From Jolipa From the Venetian traveler, about 1250, reported that letters were carried by riders on horses throughout the Chinese Empire. He estimated there were then 10,000 post offices and 200,000 horses. The post-office stations stationed in the city, court and served the purposes of inns for travelers as well as providing relays for mails. This condition existed until the twelfth or thirteenth centuries. The postal system of Japan when the Spanish colonized it was well established on all the great routes that led to he capital. All along those routes small buildings were erected at a distance of less than 5 miles apart, in each of which a number of runners of "chassuis" as they were called, were stationed to carry the disembarked passengers to the government. The dispatches were long strings of "quimpus," especially knotted according to a code resembling the Morse alphabet for telegraphy. These "quimpus" were wound about the waist of the runner, who was also uniformed to show his official rank. Frequent relays made great speed possible, and the usual rate was about 150 miles a day.

From Detroit News Large Women To Rise Up And Fight Against Capper Anti-Marriage Bill To the Editor: There has been introduced in the U.S. by Senator Arthur Capper and in the House by Congressman Louis Fairfield of Indiana a Federal marriage and divorce bill, prohibiting, among other things, the marriage of epileptics, insanees, feeble-minded, those afflicted with communism, those possessed of blindness and whites. Aside from the fact that the measure classifies Colored American citizens with defectives, such a law would put Government sanction upon the defenceless position which colored women are placed by the laws in many individual The whole race, especially the colored women must rise up and protest with all their power against the enunciation of slavery, but we are bounded that we are desirous of intermarriage but upon the ground that such a law would sweep away the legal recourse which the Colored woman has with the white man who seduces her and upon the ground that the Negro refuses to be written down in the Federal law as something less than a human being. In view of the fact that the Presidents, the officers, and the rank and file of our organization to forward AT ONCE to Senator Capper and Congressman GROBERT PROTENT against this proposed legislation.

WHITE SUPREMACY SOUTHERN DEMOCRAFT ORGANIZATION NEGRO RIGHTS DYER BILL Hampton Builders' Conference Gave This Pastor Ideas On Church Construction, Ventilation And How To Prevent Leaks And Dampness To All Aro-American Dear Sirs: Will you allow space to give some idea of the Hampton Builders' Conference that was called for January 29th at Hampton Institute for the graduates and students of the college, and the builders of the various states of this country? To my mind this was one of the most interesting gatherings I have witnessed for years. One of the new courses for hampton is known as the Builders' This is an extended course, a kind of information for specifi- cation, plans, constructions and combination of materials and helpful way to apply them in church buildings and warehouses. Mr. Whitmore Brown of the Boston Technique School is the leader of this movement and an expert engineer in the construction one hundred or more buildings what the present age is calling for in new construction. He was fortunate in securing representative and expert men in manufacturing firms such as the Tale Lock People, Lumber People, Cement, Brick, Iron, Lime, Plaster, Sand tiles—and all material that builds use in construction of houses, etc. These men came to Hampton with materials and moving picture slides to show the builders what the requirements are for construction men from Baltimore; Messrs. Last Moore, instructor of Industry of the High School; Joseph Briscoe of Gerard Ave. School; A. M. Secoins, architect and builder of 1321 Druid Hill Ave. and myself. I was sorry the ministry was not there to see plans and come to ventilate, prevent leaks and dampness, which we have to experience in going from one church to another. We had a trade field seceded so advantageous and the field so lucrative. I wonder why parents do not have their boys enter more numerously. It is a shame for us to give them the opportunity to enter the white boys because our boys are crowding the professions. I as a boy, spent five years in learning a trade under unlettered men who could do work and have a job to tell them, these trade schools tell the boys why such and such an angle is necessary and how to get the height and breadth of such and such an angle to do such and such a job without any waste which means saving of money and the making of money. Why our people will not let their enter this field seems a mystery. This new course is a splendid opportunity for those who have a desire to perfect themselves in any of the mechanical work. I have been taken along this line and it is a credit to Hampton to be the first again in the developing of her graduates into extended work. I am not an alumnus of Hampton. but I sent my boy there and as soon as he met the course meant. I have knowledge of building and a tradesman, but, this new course with its new devices is something I shall try to take along-with my boy that we may not help ourselves, but our teacher. Mr. Editor, if you have any young men who wish to perfect themselves for future work and to prepare to help the community, let them write Mr. Whitmorete Brown, Hampton Institute and he will be glad to help me. I will be glad to tell them what I know about the course. Yours for more young mechanics. JAS. G. MARTIN, 1342 N. Calhoun St. We Must Do Our Best To Perfect Our Own "Harvards" and "Yales" Says This Reader, Commenting on Race Preference at Harvard On Knee Regiment At Harvard Harvard's fall remind us of the importance of white institutions of learning. They not only bar Negroes from residing in dormitories but have made discriminations against them in the classroom, demonstrating clearly that Negroes were not wanted. We must consider options that all the "Great Halls" of learning their doors to Negro students; as a means of preparedness a tentative plan must be devised quickly, to facilitate the education of the Negro students. We cannot countenance the plan of the white colleges and universities by denouncing their actions, neither can we denounce the admittance of Negro students to their dormitories. They are beyond the bounds of the University philosophy of Theodore Roosevelt, namely: "Preparedness". Let us convert our leading Negro colleges and universities into Intruded and blues. Howard and J. H. Hines rate the best white Eastern colleges and universities and with more support from the new leaders could at least be against the knocks of the world. FREDERICK D. ST. CLAIR, A. E. Best Negroes of Georgia Live in Athens Says Mayor Who Also Praise Work Of The Athens High School To the Editor: Your information with reference to the colored people being arrested by Southern Policemen whether they break the law or not and the police are especially severe on visitors from the North is untrue. Our doors are open to all visitors and citizens whether they be from the North or elsewhere. The only requirement is that they are good citizens and recognize our laws and ordinances. The colored race, especially in the city of Atlanta, is in the Court with the same rights and safe guards as our whites. This is absolutely true in this city where we have as a whole the best colored citizens in the State of Georgia. We have no trouble with them. As a matter of course we have Negroes, who have to be dealt with harshly, but they are largely in the minority. Suppose you write to Prof. Sam Harris, the principal of the Colored High School of Athens, and have an objection to write you frankly. His school numbers several hundred and there has never been a case against one of them charge with crime or disorder conduct. **GBORGE C. C. THOMAS** Mayor, Athens, Ga.

Protected by The Kelly Newspaper Feature Service BY AUBREY BOSER BUICK BUICK FOURS SIXES Auto Outing Co. BUICK DEALERS SINCE 1908 21 EAST NORTH AVENUE PHONES VErnon 1139----1140 SYNOPSIS—NELSON HOLMES, a light-complexioned Negro, was born and reared in California. At the age of twenty-two, he left his home town and came to New York. Beginning as office boy, by attentive work and study, he became sales-manager of the Llama Coffee Company. To friends, associates and employer, Holmes was believed to be white. Arriving home from his Wall street office one night, he saw a beautiful young colored girl being pursued by three drunken southern white soldiers and protects her against their impertinent insults. Holmes offers to accompany the girl to a club, but she says "Shall I be sent you again?" he sighs. But the girl was gone and Holmes felt a longing for the girl and his race. One more moment and he would have confessed to her that he was a Negro. Two weeks later the president of the Llama Coffee Company raised Holmes' salary from ten to twelve thousand dollars. CHAPTER NINE He dropped to the seat beside her, his hand tightly grapping the back of the bench, which trembled with the force of his feeling. But Elinor Francis' pacing face, and her eyes, wide with amazement, showed nothing but fright. She shrank from him, dazed and speechless. With a terrible effort to control himself, he spoke more gently. "Ah, don't look at me like that, Elinor. I am no brute or monster; I am only a man who loves you with all that is in him. I didn't mean to frighten you; I want you to know me, love me. I know it comes like a wave, like a wave. I know you had no way of knowing about it before this. But it's an old story to me, Elinor; it began the first night I saw you." She looked up at him, her glance troubled but perplexed. She opened her mouth as if to speak, then closed it again. "I admit I fought you," said Holmes, "I fought with all my power to keep your face out of my mind. I called myself a tool for even thinking about you; it was to throw away my big chance in life for a girl. A girl of intelligence must realize what I went through. You know what my position, won by ten years of hard work, meant to me, what a future was open to me. I've just told you my dreams of dominion, dreams which I have disclosed to no other human being. I fought the battle against my heart and won, or the battle against my mind, the piece of paper, blown in my feet the wind like a portent from above, showed me that I had lost. I was angry with myself. Elmo, angry and ashamed. My vanity was hurt; my will had commanded and my heart had not obeyed. I stamped round here in the park lighting myself, and I told myself I had won. And so it went, still I had that strange dream." Dream? she said, showing curiosity for the first time. "Yes. Maybe it was foolish, but it stuck in my mind because I could not understand it. It bothered me night and day and finally drove me to seek you out. You must remember that I did not know your name or where you lived." "What was the dream?" she asked again. "And Holmes related it from start to finish, while Elinor Franks looked thoughtfully into the distance. "The significant thing about it," said Holmes, "was that you said in that dream that you had come just in time to save my soul. You were right. My soul was crushed over with ambition and money-worship and I never realized it until I met you and learned what love is. Before I met you, Elinor, how many times you think I walked in Central Park or bought a night of it except as a place for riding through an automobility." but whisper I should have been blind a thousand beauties and mean- of Nature which now meet and have met that eyes and grasp only, that the wind has a voice never heard before. In short I need to exist; since I met you I really lived." But you say you have always and poetry" she answered. "How could you do that without loving Nature, which inspires, and even produces poetry?" "I loved Nature in a second-hand way. You know, you can easily love a thing without loving that which produces it. You like Llama coffee, but would you like to live in the swetting coffee fields of Brazil? You like Weber's great musical description of a thunderstorm, but I can't think you would like to be out walking in a thunderstorm." "You are a philosopher," said Ellinor Francis." "No, no; I'm not nothing, but a man who loves, loves with every breath of his bosom." At the mention of love she turned away from him again and he could not see her face. "Yes," she said, sadly, "there you gaze, and I look, and coldly whenever I speak of love." "Yet trust, not speak of it!" she "You must not speak of it," she said, her face still averted "Why not?" he pleaded. "You are not married, you are not engaged to anybody. Little Ruth's talk showed me that. And I have just knocked down the racial barrier between us by telling you who I am and what I am. What reason can there be here? He broke off suddenly and turned pale. An ominous possibility loomed up before him like an iceberg chilling him to the heart. Could he be that she loved another man? According to little Ruth's tittle she had said she was not going to marry and that, coming from a young and beautiful woman, might mean that she loved some one who did not love her in return. Of course, any woman like Ruth's love of a woman like Elinor Prunts was a fool, but it would not be the first time that hearts had been cast before the swine. Nelson Holmes was still more frightened as something else came to his mind. He had found her in the park weeping and praying. Had she come there to be alone with Nature that she might wrestle with her spirit and conquer a hopeless love? If that was true then he, Nelson Holmes, was altogether out of it. "Elinor," he said, his voice shaking with fear, "Elinor, tell me—is there another man?" "Have you the right to ask?" she said gently. "No, he said hoikishly. "I have no right to do anything. I only love you." For the first time she smiled, and he was thankful for even that crumbling of favor. But a second thought discouraged him; she had not said there was no other man. "I only asked you, Elinor, because I really wished to know. If you love me some other fellow you love me so and save me from beating me by a stone wall. Then I could, white—and miserable. If you do not love anybody you might tell me that, and let me know that my chance is as good as anyone else." I love you, God knows I do. I want you for my life. And you talk as if I were doing something contemptible: "It is not acceptable," she said composely: "It is merely out of place." "But why is it out of place when I have told you everything?" "You wanted an answer," she said. "I have given you one. Since the answer is all you wanted there is no need toquire into the reasons." Elinor Holmes—I mean, Elinor Franks. He broke off in a stutter, his face burning red at the blunder. He forgot what he was going to say. Of course he had not meant to call her Elinor Holmes. But often he had thought of her by that name, and our secret thoughts have a way of cropping out at the most embarrassing moments. "Oh well," he said, regaining his courage. "Us're no more than you know already; I've been trying to tell you all the afternoon. You have been Elinor Holmes to me since I assumed that your name was Elinor." "And of course I could not prevent you taking that liberty in your dream." "My Lord, Elinor! You surely can't begrudge / the pleasure of thinking / about you." "You have done more than that." "Oh, we are wasting words!" "Of Holmes, impatiently." Elinor Francis, before you go out of my life forever I want to know whether I have any chance of making you Mrs. Nelson Holmes." She turned her face slowly and met his eyes. For an instant she seemed to be looking into his very THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1923 BLASS, Druggist These Are Not Patent Medicines, True & Tried Remedies for Price on all these Medicines, $1 each. By mail, $1.15 heart. He hung upon her look, awaiting her word with shortened breath. "You may mean all you have said to me," she said slowly, her eyes still upon him probing his soul. "You knew I mean it, Elinor; you ought to. What must I do to convince you?" If your doubt of my love is all that stands between us you will be mine very soon. "You must remember," she said. "How do I know, how do I know what you are? You tell me you are colored—how am I to know it? I don't know anyone who has known you from childhood? It may all be true. It is not" he cried, and instantly thrust at an exposed point in her speech. "If it were all a lie wouldn't it prove that I really love you, whether I'm white or black? If a white man is my color, can I ever know a colored woman, how can that woman doubt his love?" "And how could that woman marry him?" I know you'll say it has been done before. I know it has, and it can be a happy union—one time in a thousand. But I would never be a party to such a marriage not though I loved with my whole soul. "Well, you are not going to be.

"Even if you should it would not necessarily mean that I should be willing to marry you." Nelson Holmes was so much in earnest that the humor of the situation escaped him. After all his years as a white man it had never occurred to him that the day might come when he should be desperately anxious to prove that he was colored. His mind went painfully back through the years to that day, fifteen years before, when he had left the village in California. He had not been seen since. Even if he should produce someone to vouch make Elinor Francis love him. Indeed he could think of nothing that would make her love him. "You know I'm colored," he said doggedly. "You know it as well as I do. If you don't take my word for it I'm going to your brother and Edward Somers, and maybe you'll believe them." "What do they know about it?" she asked, again seating herself on the bench. "What as yet; but they are men and they know the world. They know that no man in America would tell the story I've told you unless it was true in every word. They'd believe me—and call me a fool for telling on myself." He was so near them that they could hear him reading aloud the lines of a Spanish poem: "Wecirte que ces hermosa Es no decir to que siento." He was almost upon them before he saw them. Indeed he might have passed them without a glance if his foot had not caught in Holmes' cane. Then he stepped back and almost fell down in sheer astonishment. For a moment he stared at them, then the blood sprang into his face. His book fell to the ground unheeded; he clasped his waist with his hands as if to keep himself under control; his red-brown face went ashy gray. Cold murder was in his eye. Elimir, he said in a voice like chilled stock. "You go, and leave me alone with this man." "I am not going, Jerome," she answered, meeting his eye. "I tell you to go." "And I tell you I won't." "Stay then," he grated, checking an oath. "Stay then, and I warn you that your presence won't—" "You will be interrupted, don't lose your head." "It seems I've about lost my sister—lost her in a way." "Iroome!" exclaimed Holmes and Elinor at once. He turned on Holmes with a cold fury that threatened every instant to burst into action. "My God, Jerome!" said Holmes. "You don't know what you are saying." Jerome was on the point of making a pass at Holmes when Elinor, who now had the coolest head of the three, stepped between them. "Jerome," she said quickly, "use your common sense. If your suspicions were correct do you think I'd be here. Do you think I'd choose Central Park?" She stopped, too disgusted to say any more.

"I've just had one," said Jerome grimly. He looked searchingly at one, then the other, and his tense muscles relaxed. His quick intelligence, temporarily sidetracked by anger, had resumed its functions. "As your brother, Elinor," he said, less certainly, "I have a right to ask what all this means." "You shall know in good time," she replied, "when you have cooled off." "He shall know now," said Holmes frankly, "There is nothing to hide. Jerome Francis, I have just asked your sister in marriage me." "You-you what!" gaped Jerome. "Ask her if you don't believe me." "The curtain, but Elinor Francis was just disappearing around a curve in the path." "She's gone," groused Holmes, and Jerome made us if to follow her. "Don't go after her, Jerome; you can see her later." "I mean to clear this thing up," said Jerome. "Well clear it up now," said Holmes. "It's all on the level. Jerome: it's a wonder you haven't found the key to it already. I'm going to tell you something that will surprise you more than anything you've seen or heard of today." Jerome looked at him wonderingly and sat down. For a moment they eyed each other, the man who would be white and the man who would not be white.

Hundreds Studied Douglass' Life, To Write Stories Frederick Douglass In A Free State Frederick Boughss was born in Talbot County, Maryland in the year of 1847, he was a slave until he reached his teens, being able to read a little he often read about the "free States." Frederick was treated very roughly by his master, and one day he decided to run away to one of the free states. He had the help and aid of some good people, but he never would tell their names for fear he would get them into trouble. Frederick arrived in New York one bright spring morning and felt as a man would feel, who had escaped from a den of henry lions. He knew no one there, and was afraid to ask the people he met for any assistance, pacing that they would think he was a slave who had escaped. At last he made up his mind to ask a colored man, who was passing him. To his great delight, this man had recently escaped from slavery, but did not give him any encouragement, pacing him in the city, were agents for runaway slaves. Frederick bought a leaf of bread and hid in a barrel on the wharf for the night. The next day he met a sailor who looked good-natured and honest and he told him he was a fructive slave and asked him for advice. The sailor took him to his home and kept him there, then got him work in a ship crew as a calker. EDITH CARR.

Born unlike a regnant prince Whose hours are passed in sweet content; Amid wild scenes on a planter's farm, His early childhood days were spent. Indisposed to spend his life With slavish gyves upon his hands. He freed himself; went to the North. And dropped forever his iron bands. Born unlike a regent prince. Whose hours are passed in sweet content? Amid wild scenes on a planter's farm. His early childhood days were spent. Endowed with a bold aspiring will, Which service bonds could not subdue His aim was fixed on noble deeds. Our paths which great heroes pursue. Over all the land his voice was heard Pleading for humble slave-cursed men-- Pleading that Freedom's holy light Might on his helpless race descend. Then let the name of that great chief Be praised on every sea and land: For Frederick Douglass was indeed A noble, grand, immortal man. POWELL, W. GIBSON, Jr. Douglass School, Winchester, Va. Remond And Douglass Frederick Doughass was born in Tuckahoe near Easton, Tahoe County, Maryland on February 14th, 1817. His mother was a Negro slave, tall, erect and well proportioned, of a deep black glossy complexion, with regular features and manner of a natural dignity and sentiment. Shakespeare says, that a substitute shines brightly as a king until the king be by. So, when Charles L. Itemond, antislavery orator, had nearly reached his urmost round in public speaking; there came one encedered with a more rational insight and a broader intellect than most men. One who developed an effective oratory with which nature enriched his gifts. This man was Douglass. Though she was a field hand and compelled to toil many hours a day, she had in some mysterious way learned to read, being the only person of color in Tuckahoe, slave or free, who possessed that accomplishment. Unlike Remond, Douglass had much originality. When the country heard of Douglass, Remond became second-rate man, this sourced the spirit of the latter, who afterwards fell the victim of speaking unfavorably of his coworker. But Remond was not the only anti-slavery orator to fade into insignificence on the approach of the eloquent ex-slave, for he was the favorite orator of his day. His father was a white man, Douglass lived in the family of Hugh Auld at Baltimore for seven years. The greatest influence upon his future was his learning to read and write. His mistress had given him a start. His own efforts gained the rest. He carried in his pocket a blue-back Webster's Spelling Book, and as occasion offered, induced his young white playmates by the brides of childhood, to give him lessons in spelling. Douglas possessed in large measure the physical make-up most impress in oratory. His voice was rich and of a wonderful force. Forced his audience, and even himself with the sway of his passion and rhetoric. By his earnestness and sincerity he gained a hearing and found a place in oratory, not only among the Negroes, but in the world. Douglass learned from a newspapers that there were such people as abolitionists who were opposed to human slavery. At the same period Douglass mind fell under religious influences. He was converted, professed faith in Jesus Christ and began to read the Bible. He never forgot that God helps those who help themselves. He began to read the Bible aloud frequently prompted the boy to ask her to teach him to read. She soon found him an apt child. hopes, but in the world. REA S. LONAX.

No. 1 Lincoln School, 8th grade COMMANDED RESPECT OF NATION DOUGLASS HAD Frederick Douglas was born in Talbot County, on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, in February of the year 1837. Froderick Douglass was born on the 14th of February in Tuckahoe, Talbot County, Maryland. His mother was a Negro slave and his father was a white man. He was born a slave, but after many struggles won his freedom. By his energy and force of character, he commanded the respect of the nation. He was ignorant, but unaided, educated himself. He was poor but by honest toil and industry became rich and independent. Douglas first started to read by listening to his mistress read the Bible. One day he asked her to teach him to read. She readily consented and in a short time he had learned the alphabet and could read three or four words. In face of nearly every hindrance and drawback Frederick Douglass became one of the foremost orators of his age and established an envious reputation on both sides of the Atlantic. His free life began on the third of September, 1838. On the 4th of that month after an anxious and most perilous, but safe journey he found himself in the big city. New York. A free man, no man now had right to call him shave. The first twenty-three years of his life were years of slavery and obscurity. The latter part of his life however, saw him in the National Government, as United States Marshal, also Recorder of Deeds in Washington. He was the editor of newspapers, to say nothing of his unconscious leadership of a backward and enslaved people.

In his time slaves were treated equally and were not allowed to learn to read or write. He would ask the little white boys to tell him about the different subjects that they had been taught, by little soon. Soon he was sold again, this time he was taken entirely away from his mother, but his mistress taught him to read and write. He learned very fast, and it seemed to him as though he was going to school, so far as being taught to read and write. In 1838 he ran away from his master and took up his residence at New Bellford, Massachusetts, In 1841, he lectured against slavery, and became well-known as an author. In 1845 he published a historic account of his life as a slave. He later went to England where he lectured eloquently, against slavery to large audiences. While in England he earned about one thousand dollars. He returned and published a journal at Rochester, New York in 1847.

Although the exact date of his birth is not definitely known, it is believed to be in the month of February, 1817, at Tuckahoe near Easton, Talbot County, Maryland. His mother was a slave and his father was a white man, whom he never knew. He never saw his mother after his eighth year. When he was ten years of age, his master, D. Lloyd Moore, took him to a school in Baltimore. In Baltimore he worked at the trade of a ship-carpenter. When he was fifteen years of age his master permitted him to hire his own time which he did, paying three dollars a week. As a very small boy Frederick had a keen interest for knowledge, which he had expressed in his address read the Bible. Yielding to importance, his mistress began to instruct him, but so rapid was his progress that such instruction was soon discontinued. But, also, discontinuance was too late. He had gotten a start, in his own way, to become a successful "Sumbian Ostrator," were his biography of study.

Douglass was unquestionably America's greatest colored man, and will go down in history as one of her greatest orators. A prominent leader on Lincoln said: "I have heard Webster and Clay in their best moments, Channing and Brecher in their highest inspirations. I never heard their eloquence than that of Douglass." A splendid monument has been erected in Rochester, New York in a public square to his memory. Frederick Douglass, noted anti-slavery agitator and journalist, died 1863. BY GERALDINE E.

Class 8 A MADE SLAVERY AN ISSUE Frederick Douglass, the foremost American of Negro descent during the nineteenth century was born on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, February 12, 1817. Frederick's first recollections are of his grandmother, who cared for a plain old shirt, no shoes or hat, and very little food. Was sent to Baltimore, taught to read by his mistress, who was fond of him. Planned his escape from bondage, disguised as a sailor, he escaped from Baltimore to New York, married Anna Murphy, had three sons and one daughter. Published an account of his life in slavery entitled "Douglass Narrative." In 1845-47 made successful living tour in England, and returning to America he edited, "Frederick Douglass," "North Star" and "New National Era" papers devoted to the interest of his people. Mr. Douglass spent his last days at Cedar Hill, a tract of land near Anacostia in the District of Columbia. He died February 20, 1895. The funeral ceremonies were attended by thousands at Metropolitan Church, Washington. His remains were deposited in Mount Hope Cemetery, Rochester, his former home, by the side of his wife and daughter. In 1898 a monument was unveiled to the assembly chamber of Rochester University is the Honine countenance of Frederick Douglass. A corporation has been formed to preserve Cedar Hill as a historical memorial to be visited by millions as years go by in grateful acknowledgement of the work of a man, who more than any other made the abolition movement a vital issue in the history of the country.

BURNES, St. Barnabas High School 1012 Park Avenue More Eloquent A prominent man who heard his speech on Lincoln said, "I have heard Webster and Clay in their greatest moment; I also heard Beecher and Channing in their highest inspirations; fact I never heard a truer eloquence than that of Douglass." DOUGLASS AND COVEY When Frederick Douglass was about 13 or 14 years old, he was taken to live with Mr. Thomas Audt at Saint Michaels. Here he was very crumely treated; he was not given the proper amount of food and was made to work very hard. Douglass, after having several misunderstandings with his new master, was thought to be stubborn and unruly, and was sent to a man in the neighborhood by the name of Covey, who was known as a no-noble "Nego breaker." He received a great many severe punishments from Douglass and became tired of this, and one day when O'bey was getting ready to lash him he turned on him and handed him so roughly that he was never attacked by this man again.

LEARNED TO READ FROM POSTERS Frederick Douglass, the famous orator, writer and public official, was born at Theokha in Maryland about 1817, and when about seven years of age was transferred to Baltimore. With infinite pains and patience he taught himself to read and write partly by studying the posters on forces and even stray leaves of the street picked from the street gutters. He suffered untold hardship until the age of 21, when he made his escape, finding his way to New Bedford, Mass. For a time he worked on the wharves, but soon attracting attention by his gift was made an agent for anti-slavery. In 1847 he began publishing the anti-slavery at Lombardy, N. continuing his effort until the close of the War. He was chosen Presidential elector from New York in 1872, was appointed Commissioner to San Diego by President Grant in 1874, Marshal of the District of Columbia by President Hayes in 1877, Recorder of Deeds, 1879, by President Harrison.

Douglass Contest Winners Got Their Prizes Wednesday FORMER PUPIL CAUGHT PRINCIPAL UNAWARES Borrowed His "Life of Douglass" Before Mr. Owens Realized He Needed It Himself STORY CONTEST PRAISED School Supervisors and Principals Speak Highly of Its Benefits to Pupils The contest for the 300 bronze medals that the Ayo-Amwesha awarded last week in the essay contest of the life of Frederick Douglass created widespread interest and certainly caused old and young to know more of the life of the great Abolition orator than they would have ever known. The public schools were swamped with requests for information about Mr. Douglass and the public libraries were besieged with requests for books on his life. As Mr. George A. Owens, principal of the Hill Street School, tells "The Aero-AMericans may not realize what interest the contest created. Children in this school were constantly besieging the teachers with requests for books about Mr. Douglas or where to the same and I suppose the same obtained in other schools and places. "A former pupil, who now lives uptown," continued Mr. Owens, "wrote down his best book and he had it in the life of Mr. Douglas. I sent it to him without giving any special thought as to why he wanted it, but when the pupils began to ask for information, the reason dawned upon me. "Many can see the biographical stories of successful men and women published in the Aero-AMericans a year or so ago. I hope that you will continue your good work of stimulating interest in racial characters by asking for essays the lives of the famous, Benjamin Lunserk, Ira Aldridge, and so on." Supervisor Frank Russell, of the elementary schools, was much pleased when told that the school children had sent in hundreds of Douglass stories. Principal Daniel C. Crediti, George K. Winn, Wm. Anderson, Henry Brown, Mary Rodman, Elmer Henderson, W. H. Leo, Amie C. Waters, Wm. H. McAhee, Harry T. Pratt, George W. Biddle, Mary G. Brown, M. Estelle Hall and Royal G. Adelson, also highly involved in Douglass stories as a part of the Douglass celebration this year. LETTER SENT TO TANNER Judges bloomed over the hundreds of stories that came to the Army Office last week, selecting the best ones, and classifying the names of wimpers. While no definite first prize was offered, the story of little eight-year-olds was picked out as one of the finest written by any school child. It is reproduced in full on this page, and will be forwarded to Henry O. Tanner, the artist in Paris. Maybe Mr. Tanner will be moved by it to paint a picture of Frederick and the Eastern Shire, and if he does all the credit will go to Elizabeth Oliver. DOUGLASS EDITOR HAPTY Many of the Douglass stories are of exceptionally high grade, and show infinite paints and balances, not only in the illustrations, but in the written them, but on the part of the Frederick Douglass Frederick Douglass, one of the world's most famous colored diplomists, was born in Maryland, Maryland, and capped by being the son of a slave mother, he fought against great odds and at last, succeeded in becoming the foremost colored citizen at that Not having the opportunity of the modern colored boys and girls, he secretly taught himself to read and write. Enthusiastic in moral, moral and intellectual ability, he fed from slavery at the age of twenty-one. Going to New Deafford, he married and supported himself by hard, manual labor. He was an anti-slavery convention at Nantucket and soon afterwards, was made an agent of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society. Lectured in Boston, and then in England, (or Europe) on the subject of slavery. On his return, in 1841, he began the publications at Rochester, New York, on the subject of slavery. Frederick Douglass wrote. Douglass saw that the color race was in dire need of help and he sat out to satisfy its need. People might be heretofore handicapped by being a former slave could accomplish so much. Douglass knew that he was handicapped but he had courage, determination and will to shred him that said "Never give up" which he always obeyed. Through his dark, dreary and hopeless hours, he fought his way and saved his life which he came to light—SUCCESS. He fulfilled his ambition. JAMES H. STEPHENS. Philadelphia, Pa. Southern High (for boys) 2nd year parents and teachers who encouraged them. The Douglas Editor feels mighty happy over the response of the boy and girls to the offer to write Douglas stories. It has been a real pleasure that batch medals were addressed and put in the mails Monday for all the out-of-town children, and sent to the schools or the Baltimore children. Such a tremendous success was the Douglas Story Contest, the Douglas Editor recommended that we write a contest to next that is, if we live and nothing happens", as they used to say in Fred, Douglas' day.

I never saw much use of fighting when there was no reasonable probability of whipping anybody. The cause of human liberty is one the world over. Better even to die free than to live slaves.

FIRST PRIZE 'Mr. Editor: There is a picture on our wall with large head, white hair, and bright eyes. It is Frederick Douglass who was born a slave on Eau Claire Shore, Maryland, 1817 and cared for by "Aunt Kate" who gave him a tow shirt. It was made from a meal sack after the meal was used; make hoe-cakes for use; leave the leaves on the plantation. The shirt was not "mammy cut" for his mother was sold far away. The shirt covered the boy and kept him warm. It was a better dress than the one he Elijah wore on the Baptist. A picture of little Fred in his tow shirt would be very fine. I wish Mr. Tanner who painted it last week's "ABRO" of the Disciples at Emanuas, who so "hearts" burned within them as they wilted the way. The way the picture annotated the picture of Douglass in his tow shirt, would cause our hearts to burn if we would consider what a great man that tow shirt covered when a Good and noble things are sometimes covered in rough dress. He wore the tow shirt when he was brought to Baltimore and grew, but made him a little suit, and let him keep his tow shirt The tow shirt covered that tow shirt covered the greatest colored man that ever lived.

Douglass As An Anti- Slavery Agitator Frederick Doughset got his start at an anti-sarcery convention held in August 1811 at Nautickau, imbushped abolitionists were present at this meeting whom was Mr. Garrison. Mr. Doughset was asked to address the convention. He at first declined but when he met with officers of a friend he came ward and addressed the meeting. So great was the impression made upon the audience by his eloquent words that soon he was made a lecturing agent in the convention. In the same year he made speeches in Rhode Island where an attempt was being made to do the right to vote. He was often without even a church, house, but not market place in which to make his speeches. He was often compelled to hold his meetings in open Later, Mr. Douglas published an account of his life in pamphlet form. These pamphlets were widely circulated and read by his anti-slavery address attracted to himself the attention of the whole country. For this reason he was in danger of being seized and carried back to To avoid this he was forced to seek refuge abroad. While abroad he came into contact with many eminent men and spoke at many venues and meetings in England, Scotland and Ireland. Before he returned to America some of his friends purchased his freedom. WM. SHERMAN SMITH 1899 Drumm Hill Ave. Class IA 14th College High School Strange Power! Strange Power!

Take several potatoes, peel, slice and cook them until tender in just enough water to cover; let them drain, then place in a warm saucepan, mash them and add 2 yolks of eggs and a little flour, then add 2 eggs and a little spritz with flour, and divide into baking cakes, not so very thick, and fry them in hot butter or shortening to a golden brown and serve them piping hot. MRS. FRED KELLY Improving Round Steak Just ordinary round steak prepared this way is delicious and simply melts in the mouth and is much cheaper than veal steak. I usually arrange to cook steak this way when my company and I have nothing nice to cook for little week. I buy as much round steak as I shall need and roll it in egg and cracker crumbs and fry it in deep fat to a golden brown. Then put it into my roaster and even put it in an intermediate pot for 12 hours. I always bread and fry my steak before my guests arrive, then set it inside until it is time to put it into the oven. MRS. HARRY N. MOORE Forgotten Millions In Banks Nearly 35 million unclaimed dollars are piled up in our national bank, the West Virginia Depositers.

Certainly the U.S. needs a money bank and use it. Congress has yet not fixed it so long. 3 Greatest Singers The brilliant fashionably chad amusements taught an evation to the great singer. She was unquestionably the best soprano in the world. The epic turned to his friend, the self-made man, and said, "Did you ever hear any song more exquisitely rendered?" "Yes," said the self-made man mannually, for he was touched by the magic of what he had heard. "Yes, I have heard three great songs." "Who were they?" asked the critic. "The first one I heard was years ago. The singer was plain in face, gray of hair and tired of body work. I worked many months to feed. I was the youngest child, sick and cross. And that wear singer entered to me a hobby, and I slept. It was a wonderful song. "The next was years afterwards. We had a little cottage. It was summer and the windows and doors were open. My wife was in the kitchen preparing supper. She loved love, comfort home to her. It was for me, and that too was a wonderful song. "Several more years elapsed. There was a little toddler in the garden and she sang hesitatingly something about daddy and his baby. These are the three singers, my friend, who beat all your soprano's." Well perhaps, he agreed—Mrs. L. M. If For Sale We Will Sell It—If For Sale ANSWERS Will you kindly tell me how I shall learn to run a car?

I've read your paper for the last three years and takes a deep interest in the stories you write. But why do you publish the same kind of stories? Stories that deal with social equality? Why not for a change publish a story that tells of romance in the Negro race? I am most sure you will find they appeal to a great number of your subscribers. Respectfully LAWRENCE D. LOGAN Ans: "If you did not read the 'Vamp and the Virgin,' and the 'Toussaint L'Overture' Brown Stories," that were running in the AFRO-AMERICAN recently, you missed something fine. I am sure you enjoy also the gripping romance of "The Man Who Would Be White," which is now running. Embarrassing Moment What was yours. Arno pups Si for contributions in print. Address Emberrassment Editor, Arno-American. One night my husband and I went to the market. I was waited on and when I turned around I found that he was gone. I looked for him but could not find him. After five or ten minutes I saw him eating peanuts across the street. I deliberately went past the parked cars and began eating also. He said nothing. I turned to go in the store ahead of me get ready to go, let me know. No, but before going I said, "When you answer came to me. A few minutes later I heard a voice say, "Nature, who was that gentleman you were taking to a few minutes ago." At his husband I replied, "That isn't your husband, don't you know him when you see him, she said laughing." I was very much astonished at these words, and turned and went out of the store, and saw him standing in the place where I just preceded him. He was not my husband. He was embarrassed indeed. He was embarrassed indeed. He asked him to excuse himself and continued to eat his pearls—A. Bender. The "Other Side" There is no polygamy in Turkey. Every man has just one wife—that is to say, one at a time—explicitly the same manner as in France. Munty Zade by Zia Bye, visiting Boston. His son of a former Turkish ambassador to Washington. Fresh from Constantinople, he insists the Sultan had only one wife, not a baron. They point the existence of marriage but they are the dwelling places of wives brought home as maids of the family marry. No matter what question is raised, there's always the other side to be heard from. Mr. Topipli—Sorry, I did not give you a better game. The fact is, I had rather a bad headache.

A—The daily use of yellow vaseline will stimulate their growth. W. I. P. Q—Kindly tell me if an X-ray will determine whether a pain I suffer from in my side when taking a deep breath, is cause by tuberculosis? A—Yes, if tuberculosis is present it will show in an X-ray picture. Mrs. R. L. H. Q—Please tell me what thyroid deficiency means and how it affects a person. A—Thyroid deficiency is lack of secretion in the thyroid gland. It causes irregular pulse, a languid feeling, nervousness, low blood-pressure and insomnia. R. Q—Will you please tell me how I can prevent wrinkles? A—Some skins are more likely to wrinkle than others. Facial massage, hot and cold applications, regular hours of sleep and freedom from worry are advisable to prevent and cure wrinkles. Q—Is it all right for a person to marry, whose mother has became insane? A—Some authorities say insanity is hereditary, but there is plenty of room for argument on this question. A physician, talk the matter over with him, and follow the advice he gives you in this particular case. Constant Reader Q—A boy, 14 years of age, does not seem to set his mind to studying. He can not even read. Will you kindly tell me what to do to make him study? A—You should have the boy examined, as his eyesight may be defective or his mental below nor I find that ribbons in encoated yokes cut in the thread and soon wear out the beading. A string of ribbons is threaded eight strands of coarser thread, tying the ends to form a tassel, will last as long as the yoke.

Explaining why plumbers always have to go back for tools, the president of the plumbers' convention says there are about 12,000 things which may need fixing by the plumber in an ordinary house, and how can be know just which one has 'husted.'

The son looked sad and said, "Well, mother, did she eat anything before she died?" "Yes, dear," was the mother's reply, "she had just finished." "Well, then. I'm certainly glad because I was afraid she would get hungry of such a long distance from here to heaven." "H. I. School, Harriet Johnson, 224 Pine St., Cambridge, Ma." Just before Christmas baby was praying only 2 years old, said "Good Lord, please make little sister well for Christmas to enjoy her toys and have all good Lord take care of your dear self.

Scandal of the '90s A scandal of 20 years ago, which makes amusing reading now, was the suit that G. W. Stetson, New York artist, brought against his wife for appearing in public without a corset and her waist belted. It seems the lady was a crank on dress reform and attended a gym, muslim dignity. If the plaintiff is still living, he will now understand his wife was merely in advance of her time. The 1925 American woman under middle age has no use for a corset.

At last the visitors left and the family moved to another room, leaving alone. And we began to talk, of our friends, of books, of the weather, past, present and future, and of various other subjects of no interest to us. Finally it was time for him to go, and as yet, no talk or explanation of our feelings. He asked for his hat, which I politely gave him, and as I accompanied him to the door, with his hat in hand, he suddenly stopped back and with his free hand took my hand and explained to me that I meant move to him than anyone else, and without my life would be void and he would do anything in his power to make me happy. Bodily he asked me to be his wife. Trembling and scared to death, I consented. He kissed me and said "good night." All in about five minutes. Two weeks later there was a quiet marriage. Now we often laugh at his abrupt proposal, but we are very happy—Mrs. L. E. P. Latto. WHAT EVERY WOMAN KNOWS We were sitting at a dance, and I looked at him was making various vain and frightened attempts to say the fatal words.

One of the scheduled 15.00 first half were played owing to the withdrawal of Tri Mus from the league, which necessitated the organization of the Sikas. Thus there are two careers yet to be played of the first half between the latter, Morgan and St. Marys. These games will be played later on. The first round has seen some of the highest samples of the indoor game that has ever been witnessed in this sport, and one of the work that is before them and the second round is expected to have been a poor game of problems compared to what is to be seen from now on.

YOU DON'T MEAN TO SAY YOU'VE BEEN IN THERE TWO HOURS AN' SIXTEEN MINUTES AN' AIN'T FIXED YOUR HAIR? SPORTS MIRROR BOLDE FOST SPORTS MIRROR BOLDEN CHALLENGES FOSTER TO DEBATE Philadelphia. Feb. 8. - Playing Luke Foster for keeping hold of Hibbell's $1,000 membership fee, now that Hibbell has deserved the Western National League and joined the Eastern Colored League. Efrieda Hobden, manager of Hibbell, chilled Egger Foster to a debate here. Mr. Hobden said: "Mr. Foster states he will come East and gently meet Mr. Strong in a debate on the merits and benefits of the two leagues. I accept his challenge. I suggest that he take part of the one thousand dollars deposited by Hibbell, rent the Academy of Music in Philadelphia so that thousands of fans may attend, and give the balance to a fund to help disabled ball players, such as Richard Whitworth, who was injured in his playoffs now languishing in Wichita County Hospital, Chicago, IL. A new way to take care of deserving bad play- "Foster's booking agent. If the Bacharachs played Hildebein in Philadelphia, and their share was one thousand dollars, and Hildebein's share was twenty hundred dollars, the Bacharachs would pay Mr. Foster fifty dollars, and Hildebein would pay Mr. Foster sixty dollars, making a total of one hundred and one dollars paid to Mr. Foster, perbers without him having to write a letter. Why does Mr. Foster charge fifty per cent of his team and only allow the other member clubs thirty-five per cent? Why has Mr. Foster thousands of chairs at Scholering Park from which he claims visiting clubs cannot share profits? No wonder he has money in several banks. No wonder he wrote a letter to Mr. Strong under date 82, saying, "I am one four thousand dollars, made twenty-two thousand dollars one of baseball last year." "How many board forces has he built for his teams to play behind? Why do most of the member clubs of his League have to play in parks where they give from twenty to twenty-five per cent of gross receipts to white men, and ten per cent to Mr. Foster?" No wonder four of his clubs have already failed. Mr. Foster may not fail, but he is digging his own grave through his greed for personal gain, unless he becomes fair and gives the teams an even break." ST. MARY'S VS SIKIS Y. M. C. A.

As already told Mr. Dudley has leased to National, where he intends to continue the policy of vaudeville and pictures. The fact that he books practically all the covered vaudeville houses in this city, coupled quite a bit of comment in the theatrical circles when it became known that he had leased the local house, his specimen has yet to just what effect it would have on the local situation. Mr. Dudley apparently receives the remunerations in his talk on the subject Monday evening. Of course, he is admitted that he has always wanted to operate a theatre in this city but he added that he not only had the opportunity to lease one house, but would not may go to the expense of building one. He said that his lease of the National deal in the time of a "frenzy" in contemplation of taking hold of the business. He will take over this house also. As to the effect of his entrances into the local field of the bookings there, Mr. Dudley says that those houses will be packed in the same manner that they have been here. This although he was operation in those houses he did not notice the acts and he went to point out the conditions in some other cities where he operates in theatre besides booking those operated by others.

Jackson DUDLEY'S LETTER "I have just returned from the meeting of the T. O. E. A. As the Billboard correspondent, the sessions with a sheer representative, there is little that I can say further than that it was the best meeting we have ever held. Many managers inquired as to what the colored performer and to offer that is new and will not in the general progress of the business. I explained the possibilities, to them, but will the acts live up to the promises I made in their behalf? Or will they continue to submit the same material they have been using, in some cases for ten years or more? After long and careful thinking, I have decided that there is but one solution, to the problems involved. That is to have some one-on-one investment with the complete authority, an adjudicator and overlord for the business. Will Hayes has accomplished wonders in the motion picture business, and Judge Landis has done the same for the baseball clubs. We need a man to act in similar capacity for the colored vauduiectors and managers. He must be a man familiar with the problems of both, one who knows the difficulties that beset the law office as well as bank, stage with the ability to suggest reports and the courage to observe them. He must be a man who commands the rest of the confidence of those who performers and whose duties will be observed. At present, it is not or performer is instructed by a manager he is without protection. The booking agent can afford him very little assistance, but after all, he is a member of the association of managers.

Question—I would love to get on the stage and would do anything to learn singing and dancing. I have always wanted to get on the stage. I want to get with a good company, one that will pay and do the right thing by me. I am a poor girl with a big heart. Can you advise me? Answer—Girls with "big hearts" are usually easy marks for shady promoters. If the girl is not afraid of disappointments, and has some real talent and personality she can make a success of it. One must apply in person to the agent or producer of a show, get a trial do about three weeks of rehearsal without salary, then they may or may not make good. Always glad to provide possible places of employment at the time one meets, they are constantly enchanting so there is no permanent listing available to anyone. Before answering with name of possible employer I usually ask: age, domestic condition, if parents are willing, extent of education, if applicant has money for a month's idieness, with return fare from place directed to, and what references as to talent there—j.

KIMMEL TO FIGHT NEIGHBORS IN COURT White Man Prevented From Selling To Colored Family Will Answer Injunction WISE MEN UNDECIDED Hasty Action In Disposing of Madison Ave., Property Not Likely Date for a hearing in the injunction proceedings brought by the Neighborhood Corporation and Mrs. Ida M. Bull, white, against Joseph Kimmel, white, and Matthew Willis, restraining the latter from moving into 1209 Boston street has not been set owing to the fact that Mr. Willis is in New Jersey and has not been served with the order. Mrs. Willis, who resides at 235 Dolphin street, and who is also included in the temporary restraining order he has been served with not of injunction but does not know yet just what steps will be taken in the matter. Joseph Kimmel, to whom the property at 1209 belonged, and who is restrained in the action from selling this property to Willis or any colored people, will fight the 'order when it comes up in court. So far no legal steps have been taken by residents in the neighborhood of Madison avenue and Preston street, where the Seven Wise Men's organization has acquired a building which they intended to make their meeting place, but it is known that since the granting of the injunction in the Bolton street case, considerable open opposition and threatened legal action has been threatened. Directors of this organization will meet Friday night and do doubt one of the matters that will come up for consideration will be the disposition of this property. While it is known that some of the officials advocate a determined refusal to give up the Madison street location, just how the matter will be told until the Friday meeting. The Park Heights Avenue Improvement Association, white, it is understood, will take some steps to not only segregate their neighborhood but eject some colored people now living on Shirley avenue. While no definite steps have been taken to curb the wave of attempted segregation and burdens of Negroes from within neighborhoods, it is plain that five organizations will follow with interest the development of affairs about this line. The basis by which the residents on bottom street has invoked the injunction proceedings rests in an alleged contract and agreement in which certain residents there took part several years ago. The concluding clause of this agreement states that "*** That neither the said respective properties nor part of them shall be at any time occupied or used by any Negro or Negroes or person or persons either whole or in part of Negro or African descent, except that Negroes or persons of African descent may be employed as servants by any of the owners or occupants of the said respective properties."

Good Mornin' Judge Girls Fail To Explain Prosperity—Brotherly Love Fails When Firl Is Involved—Brick Missed Its Target—Miss Bertine Payne "Comes Back" GIRLS MUSH SHOW WHERE NICE THINGS COME FROM Ten young women ranging in ages from m20 to 24 years were gathered together in the Northeastern Police Station this week and asked some questions that made them laugh. Calculations, according to the pa- rean, young damms have no direct family connections in the Northeastern, and "they toll not, they do neither die; yet Salomon in all his glory is not arrayed like one of these." In view of the fact that nobody else in the district has discovered a gold mine or money trees, they were asked to explain their prosperity. When they could not do so to this Honer's satisfaction, they were fined $25 and costs each, thinking that this assessment would hold them a while. But with their faces on their faces, pieces of them dived down into their population banks and produced the fines and they were released after being told to make themselves source herafter in this district. Those flounder were Misses Willie Tyler, 1514 May street; Bertha Belt, 14 N. Dallas street; Etta Miles, 13 N. Dallas street; Emma Washington, 12 N. Dallas street; Elmora Perkins, 16 N.

Davenport, 605 Older alley, could not stand any one taking his best girl, even if that one was his brother, so he drew his trusted razor and passed it several times across the anatomy of William Davenport, 551 Barre street with the result thus that William found it necessary to make a trip to the hospital. Charles was fined $50 and costs. PARKER MISSED HIS TARGET Nobody knows at what Samuel Parker, who runs a pressing shop on Madison avenue, aimed that brick late Sunday night. But the brick missed the target and went through the window of Mrs. Laura Williams, 4614 Miller street, who with other friends seated in the kitchen, beat a ```markdown ``` 4 Suits Sponged & Pressed, $1.50 Price 50 cents For BALD SPOTS AND DANDRUFF 5c Additional Postage Acts directly upon the scalp and Roots of the Hair; stops the Hair from falling out and removes Dandruff and gives new life and full growth.

Parker was caught a few minutes later and fined $25 and costs Monday afternoon in the Northeastern Police Station. "QUEEN" IN TOILS AGAIN Pretty Miss Pertina Payne, 1543 E. Madison street, for many years the recognized queen of the pure setters in the Northeastern Police District, is in the toils again. This time she is charged with making $285 disappear from the pocket of William L. Lenz, white, 701 Monford avenue, without his permission. Through her attorney, J. Stewart Davis, she was released on $200 bail to await a hearing Thursday afternoon. Steven Sewell, a friend and prize of Miss Payne, threw a quantity of lye in her face, with the intention of altering her good books, it was said.
