BISHOP VERNON SEEKS MISSING $15,000 FUND
Money Appropriated for African Missions Unlawfully Held by Others Is Claim
SENSATION IS CREATED
Bishop Declares Next Conference Will Witness Revolution or Reformation
Bishop Vernon charges
1—Bishop W. W. Beckett is unlawfully withholding $5,000 given two years ago for mission work in Africa.
2—That Bishop Beckett only spent one month out of four years in Africa when assigned there.
3—That Bishop Beckett now assigned to an American field is crippling the African work.
4—That there will be a reformation or revolution at the next conference.
5—That John R. Hawkins, denominational financial agent, is unlawfully holding $10,000 appropriated four years ago for African work.
Bishop Beckett telegraphed the Afro today from Brooklyn that he was preparing a lengthy answer to Bishop Vernon's charges, which would be printed in the church organ.
JOHN R. Hawkins in WASHINGTON 'phoned the AFRO that he would not discuss the subject. "I won't make it a newspaper case" he said.
Philadelphia, Ia., April 3.—Where is the $15,000 appropriated by the A. M. E. Church for work in Africa?
Missionary ladies of the denomination that that $5,000 of it had been sent to Bishop W. T. Vernon in charge of the A. M. E. Church in South Africa. Members of the denomination that he had also received $10,000 appropriated by the last General Conference for the South African work.
Has Not Received A Penny
In a letter to the Christian Recorder, official journal of the denomination last week, Bishop Vernon denies receiving a penny of this sum during the nearly three years he spent in South Africa for returning home, ill for recovery, the money to carry on the work, Bishop Vernon said, it was withheld. Publication of this letter created a sensation.
Accuses Bishop Beckett
Bishop Vernon charges that 21,000 of the missing fund is held by Bishop W. W. Beckett. 200 Alphie street, Brooklyn, N. Y., formerly in charge of South Africa, can field and now head of the Missionary Department of the Church, since an increased shortage was issued in the funds of a missionary secretary.
Bishop Vernon made public the following letter from Bishop Beckett when asked to turn over the money in October 1918. "Relative to the money I collected to build the church in Cape Town, South Africa. I now am interested in a Trust Company and will be available until April 1921. I do not see the necessity of making such a desperate effort to collect that which has already been collected? Which is about one fourth or less of the amount required to do work. When this money is available it will be turned over to the Missionary Society from which I received it." Bishop Vernon declared Bishop Beckett suggested privately that the latter be allowed to hold the money.
Hawkins Holds $10,000
Similarly Bishop Vernon charges John P. Hawkins, financial secretary of the denomination with offices in Washington with holding up and refusing to pay out $10,000 appropriated by the church at the last General Conference for South African Missions. Not only did he fail to receive any of this money while in Africa, Bishop Vernon says, but "He has given me first one excuse and then another."
Mr. Hawkins besides being an
anual secretary of the church is
also connected with one of the D.C.
hawks.
Flays Absenteeism
Referring to Bishop Beckett's absenteeism while on the South African field, Bishop Beckett said "Men who are unwilling to go or who are unwilling to stay and perform their duties in mission fields ought not be permitted to hamper those who are willing to go and stay . . . . . . . . . . The A. M. E. Church is facing either reform or revolution. I am against revolution, but will stand with the reformers

SUPREME COURT REVERSED ITSELF IN ARKANSAS CASE, SAYS N. Y. LAWYER
Order for New Trial Is Direct Opposite of Court's Action In Celebrated Frank Case
New York April 3—New York lawyers have been commenting on the far-reaching results of the victory by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in the Arkansas cases, in which the United States Supreme Court reversed the decision of the lower court which had condemned live colored farmers to death. Walter Nelles, prominent New York lawyer, writing in the Law and Freedom Bulletin issued by the American Civil Liberties Union, states that the Supreme Court not only reversed a lower court in the Arkansas Case but holds the Arkansas decision as the one of the most far reaching in regard to the principle of habeas corpus that the Supreme Court has made. Repressus Decision ... Revenues Nexevestatishallamum ... Contrary to the decision in the Lee Frank case, the Supreme Court has said in the Arkansas cases that despite legal forms, if a mob has dominated a court room, a fair trial has not been held. As Mr.

Offices were opened Monday at 805 West Broadway and scores of laborers wielding to go elsewhere for work, have been besieging the labor office ever since. The office is recruiting labor for an aluminum mine in North Carolina. Several shipment of labor were carried on this week.
Louis Marshall, counsel for Lee
Brands stated to the N. A. A. C. P.
"The stone that the builders rejected has now become the chief of the corner—the process of law now means, not merely a right to be heard before a court, but that it must be before a court that is not, paralyzed by mob domination." The case is held, especially important for Negro citizens in that it makes the contest of any case in which it can be shown that a mob influenced decision. Case Cost Us $15,000. The N. A. A. C. P. paid tribute to Sculpia A. Jones, the colored lawyer of Little Rock, who has had charge and was in the forefront of the four-year legal battle, culminating in the victory before the Supreme Court. This case is regarded by the N. A. A. C. P., as the most important legal battle, as it was the most nearly $15,000 being expected to obtain the action before the Supreme Court. It is now thought probable that the condemned men will never suffer the death sentence which has three times been averted.

Disagrees Also With Marcus Garvey's Idea of Driving White People Out of Africa
Natives Want Voting Right,
Compulsory Schooling
And No Segregation
Arnett, Gold Coast, West Africa,
Mar. L.—"Mob law wherever practiced, is a barbarous thing and we raise our voices in condemnation when it is practiced on members of our race."
"These are the words of Cusley Hayford, vice-president of the National Congress of British West Africa which held its third annual session here recently.
"This Congress is like the N. A. A. C. P. in the United States and Mr. Hayford's statement is taken as a direct ship at the United States, the only civilized country where lynching is permitted."
ADAMST GARVEY IDEA
In his address to the Congress, Mr. Hayford also made it plain that the Congress was opposed to the Garvey ideal of driving all whites of Africa. He said the policy of this Congress is to maintain "strictly and involve our connections with the British Empire."
Although the Congress took this stand, a preacher in St. Georges Cathedral Sunday during the sitting of the Congress, created a sensation by reference in his sermon to the fine movement of St. Garvey. The Governor and other high officials listened to this statement in disbelief.
RANT REPRESENTATION
The Congress went on record as favoring "no taxation without representation." Already through its efforts natives have been given the right to vote for members in the Legislature in Nigeria, Gambia and Sierra Leone. Several colored men have also been given high positions since the Congress started. Two of them have been made high magnates in the courts.
Among the other things advocated by the Congress are compulsory education, a West African university and a high Court of Appeals for all Africans.

After a debate of three hours a jury in the Superior Court awarded Carl Murphy, editor of the AFRO-AMERICA, one cent damages in his suit for $5,000 against the W. B. and A. Electric Railroad.
Before the compromise, the jury good seven to five for a larger award to the plaintiff.
The case was before Judge Heuisler Wednesday and lasted three days. Mr. Murphy alleged that W. B. and A, on August 17, 1948 ordered him to ride in a car each of a two car train between this city and Washington, and when he asked for an explanation violently pulled him from the train and caused his arrest.
The Railway Company represented by Vernon Miller white connection with the office of George Weems Williams, at first in the defense that if the Jim Crow laws had something to do with the case, Judge Heuisler, upon objection of the plaintiff's attorney, Warner T. McGuinn, ruled the race question out.
Miller then switched his defenses and produced employees or former employees of the company who sware that Mr. Murphy ordered that the station, ran over and children, "assaulted" and killed at employees when approached in a police manner.
The jury returned a sealed verdict which was not opened by Judge Heinisher until Monday morning. The verdict was in favor of Mr. Murphy and damages were assessed at one cent. "We won a moral victory" said Mr. Mr. Quinn. "Such a victory as white juries usually award coloreen people who are injured by big white corporations." The celebrated Hart case is similar.

MINISTER LOSES APPEAL
Governor Ritchie Refuses To Change Sentence To Life Imprisonment
Bishop Hawkins, who on December 17th, was convicted of killing Miss Edith Sterling, his common law wife, paid the penalty with his life on the gallows Friday.
The long fight waged by his friends and es-
kiss, who on December 27th, was convicted of killing Miss Eudith Sterling, his common law wife, paid the city with his life on the gallows Friday. The long fight waged by his friends and ospecially Rev. C. E. Smallwood, to have his sentence committed to life imprisonment was lost and Government or Hitchcock set Friday morning at the date of the execution. LAST TO OLE ON CITY GALLOWAST
After steadily marching from the death chamber of the city hall, the warden's room and with a seeming determination of resignation on his face, Hawkins was led Friday pounding to the gallows where $20 he paid the penalty of the murder of Edith Sterling with his life. At exactly $25 he was led from the cell, where Rev. C. E. Smallwood and Father Ayd had been with him since 50 o'clock and was ushered into the warden's cell where he was prepared for execution.
He was asked if he had any statement to make and in reply stated that he thanked the warden and those friends who had assisted themselves in behalf and that the only statement he wanted was that he left the whole matter in the hands of God.
Father Ayd told a reporter for the AFD-AMERICAN that despite the almost continual efforts in behalf of the condemned man no guilty approach a concession was obtained. He especially paid rebuke to the officers that had been made by Rev. Smallwood.
Hawkins stood statically while his hands were being tied and wilt the black hood was being adjusted and then with a slow step he walked with raised head to the gallows. The mess was quickly adjusted at $25 the man fell to his death. There was no struggle.
STORY OF THE KILLING
The crime for which the accused man was executed, was the most brutal in the animals of Baltimore City courts. In the early morning hours of October 31st, Hawkins and Miss Sterling engaged in an altercation in their room on the third floor of 119 Forest Street. Whiding a razor Hawkins almost seized her head from her body. The murder is said to have grown out of Miss Sterling's return to give him $2. Both the one-dollar bills and the razor with which the crime was committed were found in the room.
GIRL. FROM GOOD FAMILY
The story of the sad fate of Miss Sterling is the story of a girl who left her home with a man whoceived her. She came from Prodrick where she is said to have been a member of a good family, at the request of Hawkins who she expected to marry. Lived with him until she sank into depths of hopeless degradation. According to Miss Lois Jones, an inmate of the house, she had often expressed her disgust with the cruel life she was living and the depth to which Hawkins had driven her. When she first knew him was conducting a small grocery store, but later drifted into gambling.

Of the one we loved so well.

months ago, October 4, 1922.
Can I help but feel lonely
When his voice I do not bear
For no words were ever sweeter
Team the words of my husband
and father dear.
The happy home we once enjoyed
How sweet the memory still
But death has left a vacant chain
This world can never fill.
When all that now seems so
mysterious
Will be plain and clear as the day
Weary tools of the road will be
nothing
When we meet at the end of the
way.
By his loving wife and daughters,
Mrs. Lizzie Hutchins, Mrs.
Cora Brown, Miss Estella Hutchins,
Master Johnny Hutchins.
LEWIS—In sad but loving
memory of my dear husband,
Montezanna Lewis, who departed
this life 7 years ago today. April 1,
1916. Gone, but not forgotten.
Out in the lonely graveyard
It secures so far away
Just told my dear husband
Just seven years ago today.
A husband dear and kind
Has gone and left me behind
I struggle hard to do my best
But God gave him eternal rest.
By his loving wife.
JEFFERSON—In sad remembrance of our dear mother, Famille A. Jefferson, who departed this life fourteen years ago. April 7, 1910. She left a memory fair to sweet her life; she was short but still complete. When God called her on high.
MURPHY - memory of our dear father, John H. who departed this life one year ago, April 5, 1922.
In ingstie, murmuring, dulcee
notes.
And you, dear father, are called after.
With aching hearts we say: "war-well."
Yet just beyond Death's shadowy stream
We know transcendent glories gleam.
In whose pure radiance you shall dwell.
The blighted oak, the fallen leaf,
The last rose, lorn and tempest-possessed.
May pass and seem forever lost.
As Nature bows her head in grief.
Yea from Time's great, pulsating heart.
A float of life will leap anew
When Spring unveils her variant
hue
And gorgeous blossoms upward
start.
And you—for noble deeds renowned—
With heart coined of the purer
gold—
With many virtues manifold—
That holy heritage have found.
While we, bereaved and troubled,
stand
And strain our eyes to tear the goal:
Of your imperishable soul—
Ah! how we miss your guiding
hand!
Yet though in sorrow thus we part
A day shall come with joy replete.
When we again, dear father, shall
peer
And in his hope, to us so dear,
We will bide the coming of the day
Nor bid the fleeting hours stay
Until the final call we hear.
And as we grope here in the night
Your life, a mule episode.
Will keep us steadfast on the road
That leads to God's eternal light.
THE FAMILY.
WILSON—In sad but loving remembrance of our dear mother,
Mary M. Wilson, who departed
for life one year ago, April 6,
1232.
The angels came, and near came
When mumma sick did die,
And gently touched her faded
cheek,
And pointed to the sky.
The moon was sad and dreary,
The April winds blew free,
The angels spread their silvery
wings.
And whispered, come with me.
No bitter tears had she to shed.
No sins to be forgiven.
But close her loving eyes in death,
To open them in Heaven.
Her loving HUSEAND
and CHILDREN
We gathered round her dying bed
With hearts to weep and pray
And many were the tears we shed
When our friend passed away.
Mrs. Alethia Mitchell-Bowen, an old Baltimore an. died in Atlantic City at the residence of her sister, Mrs. Ridley and was buried from Madison St. Presbyterian Church on Wednesday.

Local A. M. E. Ministers Said To Favor Him To Succeed Bishop J. Albert Johnson
Rev. Monroe H. Davis and Rev. John S. Collins May Head Conference
Plans for bringing Bishop W. W. Beckett of Mississippi to the Second Episcopal District, to replace Bishop J. Albert Johnson, are being discussed among a group of local A. M. E. ministers.
New leadership for the local conference is also a common topic of conversation among some ministers, few A. L. Gaines, pastor of Trinity, and a present leader of the conference. It is also elevated to the bishopric at the General M. E. Conference in May 1924.
Ministers are preparing now for the Baltimore-Annual Conference which will be held at Trinity A. M. E. Church beginning the last week in this month. One of the chief features of his conference, will be the election of delegates to the General Conference scheduled for next year.
One of the states for delegates proposed is said to consist of Rev. A. L. Gaines, Rev. Monroe Davis Rev. John S. Collins, Rev. O. R. Yates, Rev. James D. Douglas, Rev. Fred Douglass. With the election of Rev. Gaines to the bishopric, it is expected that his mantle of leadership will fall upon Rev. Mr. Davis who will direct church affairs on the Western Shore and Rev. John Collins, who will direct affairs on the East Shore. This plan goes then it is said, effect will be then made to secure Bishop Beckett for this district.
CHANGES ARE DISCUSSED
Because of the fact that the time limit of several ministers expires this year, several transfers are expected. Rev. Davis, it is said, may be transferred from St. Johns to Waters. Rev. Norris to Payne. Rev. J. G. Martin from Payne to the District Rev. John S. Collins to St. Johns. In accordance, it is said Rev. W. H. Manokoo may be transferred to Trinity.
CHARGES TO BE DROPPED
Favorable report, it is that, will be made by the committee appointed at the last conference to investigate the marital state of Rev. J. K. Nebon. It is said he will be transferred to Carroll, Md.
OWENS DENIES BIBLE
AND BACKS PICKENS
(Crusader Service)
New York, April 5—Presenting the storm of disapproval evoked from many ministers throughout the country by the sentiments contained in his article in the February Messenger in which he disavows belief in a material Hell and in most of the fundamental beliefs of Christians. Dean Pickens promises to repudiate for orthodoxy the magazine. That the Dean is not alone in his views is proved by the statement of Chandler Owen, editor of The Messenger, in the March issue in which he boldly states that "We accept no Bibles or creeds." Mr. Owen, whose dislike is even more scowling and general than that of Pickens, declares a belief in a biblical God is scheduled to speak on "Is Savior Really Free?" as one of many radical subjects he will deal with.

Norfolk, Va.. April 5—More
than 6,000 persons of both races
jammed their way into the City
Hall Armory here last week, at
the initial program of the Norfolk
Lyceum Association.
Several
thousands were turned away as
early as 8.30 for lack of even
standing room.
Charles Satchel Morris, Jr. del-
ivered the principal address and
saw "The worst enemy that the
race has is the cringing, subser-
vent Negro, who knows no secrets
and can keep none." His ways are
dark with sticks vain. Our
people must rise superior to him
and crush him by enlightened
public sentiment that teaches the
essential manhood of the man."

"I took Herbs of Life because I suffered with pains in my sides all the time. I can't remember just how long I suffered, but it was for sometime. One day I was talking to Rev. Hawley's wife, and I told her how I was feeling and she said she had been just like I was with pains and nervous troubles, and she took Herbs of Life, Double Strength, and it cured her. So then I went and got some, and I certainly recommend it for it is good. Whenever I see any woman who is sick I try to get her to take Herbs of Life."
The above testimonial is from Mrs. Grace Bailey, the well-known wife of Mr. C. K. Bailey, head of the Piano Plant bearing his name. Her residence is in the Albermarle Apartments.

Famous Shortstop Exhibits Diamond-Studded Fob and Walking Stick, Gifts From Fans
BALTIMORE IS HOME NOW
---
Sox Uniform Appeals To Him, But Hilldale Made First Overture
Perhaps it will be news to a good many baseball fans to be informed of the fact that John Henry "Step" Lloyd, one of the greatest baseball players this country has ever produced, white or black, is now residing in this city.
We found the famous shortstop at 105 N. Eulaw street, where he resides with his very charming and comely wife in a nicely appointed apartment, last Sunday afternoon shortly after their return from church. His wife, before her marriage, was Miss Amedia Keys. She was born in this city, but was raised in Pittsburg. All her family connections are here, however, and she claims this city as her home.
IDOL OF CUBAN FANS
Lloyd has just returned from Cuba where he has been playing the past winter, as a member of the Havana kids of the Cuban League. The kids finished in second placed, and Mr. Lloyd stood second to Torrenti, the leading batsman. During his stage in Cuba, the famous shortstop became the kid of the Cuban fans, who showed their appreciation by taking a public collection and purchased and presented to him a diamond-studded watch job.
His popularity did not stop there. Situated on a high hill overlooking the ball park is the Cuban penal institution. Every day, the prisoners were marched out into the yard and allowed to occupy a point of vantage where they could watch the ball. They showed their appreciation of the famous ball player by presenting him a hand-engraved walking stick, the figures of which illustrates a balllight, the whole colored in various tints. They tried to force a promise from him that he will return set year, as early as October. He also has a clipping from a Palm tree, which he called him the colored tiger, when he received the occasion of his stunner there.
TELLS OF FOSTER'S DOUBLE DEALING
Lloyd is a member of the Hibiscus Club, which is now a member of the Mutual Association of Eastern Colleged Baseball Clubs, having been dropped from the National Negro League by Rube Foster after many years, and we asked the wizard Club last year, to give us some facts regarding the situation of the Western league and the manner of man that the "Western baseball case" really is. When Lloyd was dropped by Rube, the latter precluded that owing to Lloyd's bad management of the club, the league had lost $9,900. Lloyd says that it was a fee-generic cone that the Columbus club won't out a joke for Rube Foster and give an inferior joke to others, and that it was not null to the close of the season that he was given some men of first-class ability.
The method that Tube Foster employs to get men into his power, says Lloyd, is the common method used from time immemorial by that class of men who have preyed on the race, namely, he poses as a "race man." It was the talk of the West Coast "razor" about what he intended to do for his race along baseball lines that tarned him from the Brooklyn Lions into the Foster league, says M. Lloyd.
He then went on to state that proof of Mr. Foster's interest in conducting baseball for the benefit of the people could be seen in the fact that for two years, the Boston fans never got a chance to see American Giants play against the Detroit Tigers, that whenever these games were played, the Tigers would have to go to Chicago. And for one lesson this same practice was carried on in the case of the Indianapolis A. B. C. Club.
ALL OFFICIALS WHITE
This, says Mr. Lloyd, is merely a lie he then went on to state that in his career, he has never seen any color coded building any money in Foster's park.
Foster's methods are simply those that the dog in the manger, says Lloyd, and it went on to cite the fact that he went on to die the Johnson, although they had been national Negro League by Foster, as soon as he learned of the formation of the Eastern association and fear that this association would grab them and send for them and gives them mergeral births with Toledo and Milwaukee, the two cities that this season will suit Cleveland and the Keystons.
WOULD HAVE LIKED TO
PLAY WITH SON
Mr. Jebb said that as he is living here, he would have liked to play with the Earl Sox this year, but the heads of the old club will hold any overtures to him to this effect, however, he stated that he would glad to workout with the Sox in practice here until the time comes to the Hildale, with which it is understood he will lift the capacity of field manager.
Lloyd said that he has been playing in fast-break company since 1899, and that he has been playing about during the last five years because his experience in the game had often led to differences with the coaches, and that naturally, he was the one to get out. He pointed with pride to the fact, that he has the confidence of all the players who have even played under his management, and that they were always willing to follow him and ask no questions.
NEW BERT WILLIAMS BOOK APPEARS
"Bert Williams, Son of Laughter," Tells Life Story of Greatest
"Bert Williams, Son of Laughter," Tells Life Story of Greatest
York, April 4—A new book "Bert Williams, Son of Enter," has made its appearance in the bookstores here. The author is Mabel Rowland, a well-known writer and publist and was Bert Williams confidential advisor and publicity agent for years.
When Miss Rowland first conceived the idea of writing the book, she asked all of the most important people in the world of the theatre to write a page or a chapter. In consequence of this there are lengthy contributions by George M. Coban, E. F. Abbe, the head of the vaudeville interests in America, Shipp and Rogers, the Negro writers who wrote all the Williams and Walker successes David Beesco, who wrote the entire preface to the book and wrote it as feelingly as if Bert Williams had been his own son, W. E. E. DuBois and Miss Jessie Faucet, who articles are inspiring, Heywood Brown, who has so many things championing the so many Frank Crane, whose criticism of the book is a gem and many others.
Speaking of Bert Williams, Booker Washington said, "He is a greater man than I am. He has done more for the race than I have ever done. Why? Because he made people laugh. He laughed his way into the hearts of men and into
GETS LIFE IMPRISONMENT FOR KILLING FRIEND
Leroy Green Convicted For Shooting James Baker In Guitar
Leroy Green, 506 Green street, was found guilty of murder in the first degree Tuesday and sentenced to life imprisonment in the Penitentiary.
Green was charged with the murder of James Eaker, 218 S. Dulles street, following a light over the possession of a guitar valued at $2.50 and was sentenced just one month after the perpetration of the crime.
The story as told in the testimony at the trial before Judge Stein in Part 2, of the Criminal Court was that on the second day of the trial Green joined Eaker $2.50 with which to get the latter's guitar from the pawn shop with the understanding that he would retain possession of it until the money was refunded. When Green wanted to take the instrument home Baker protested and a light ensured in which Baker was said to have been the victor.

Can't Use "Shuffle" Songs
BY J. A. JACKSON
"Plantation Days" the colored revue which suited for London last week, was enjoined—papers being served aboard ship—from singing the "Shuffle Along" songs abroad. This action is said to have been taken by Messre, Miller and Lyles, Sissie and Blake as the result of their intention to present the original "Shuffle Along" show in the British period and Blanks, Richard Johnson and George Pasha, are the principals of the "Plantation Days" revue.

The greatest of all De Mille's
Don't miss seeing the greatest splendor of the age.
"The modern girl is all right. It's her parents who need watching."
That's the starting truth De Mille advances in this brilliant sex-extravanza. A story of the youngest flapper and the oldest sin. De Mille de luxe.
A pretty wife longing for romance—
A husband immersed in his millions—
A fascinating "other man"—
A flirty flanger daughter—
De Mille has taken these very modern, very human people and, with his usual skilled and lavish hand, woven them into the screen's greatest love-drama of today.
You sa wone side of the modern girl in "Manslaughter:" you'll see the other in "Adam's Kib."
A story of fair women and three kinds of love.
From jazz to the jungle, from the cave to the cabaret—here's the glowing drama of woman's love, frailty, and courage living gorgeously before your eyes.

He is now in New York to interest big theatrical offices in a revival of Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice" with himself as Shylock. He also paid high tribute to Miss Venzola Jones, dramatic instructor at Morgan College, who acted in one of his plays recently in Pittsburgh.

One Day Only
Lavish Settings and Gowns and a Wonderful Cast
The moth is lured by the flame, the maiden's heart is tempted by the whisperings of scarlet love. Is the outcome in each case the same — singed wings, destruction?
They called her "the Flame of the Barbary Coast"-till she, became society's dancing darling.
Despite the bad weather, the Spring Carnival held its opening night at the Fourth Regiment Armory, Fayette street, near Paca, on Wednesday night. Elks Minstrel Review was the main feature of the program. Thursday night there is a competitive drill among the local fraternal orders, and Friday night there is a Fashion Show. It is expected that a large sum of money will be raised to ensure improvements on t. Katherine's Home. A committee of citizens headed by Wm. B. Hamer has worked hard to make it a success.
DENTAL CLINICS PRAISED
Dr. W. A. Ehridge, white, dental supervisor of public schools, announced that he finds the clinics of the colored schools 112 and 195 in a very satisfactory condition. This announcement was made before the nurses of the schools at a meeting at the Health Department, Dr. Ehridge, who is the successor of the late D. I. Muriel Hopkinson,贴 stress to the technical and efficiency exhibited by the colored nurses of the schools named. He also started that he did not wish to make anyone feel bad, but that it was a fact that he had found the technical conditions in the colored schools of Baltimore very superior to those of the white schools.

Rarely is there in this group a colored man. Yet there are hundreds of colored business concerns doing business with these salesmen that would be glad to buy from colored merchants and jobbers. Baltimore business organization and leadership should wake up to the opportunities open to practical and effective organization. It is a serious matter that reflects upon our spirit of co-operation that more young men are not engaged in supplying the business needs of our people.

In a recent conference of advance religious leaders at the Lyric Theatre, President J. O Spencer, of Morgan College spoke on the relation of religion to racial contact. Racial prejudice, war and economic oppression is the triple-headed monsters before which religion has stood helpless.
While here and there outstanding men and women have applied the doctrines of Jesus Christ to the solution of racial problems, the church in this country and especially in the South has not even pretended to do so.
In fact the world-wide orgy of racial prejudice, international brigandage and butchering in war would have been impossible if leaders of men who profess to call themselves followers of Christ had emulated His example of facing Calvary rather than condone the unjust treatment that men mete out to men.
Measuring Educational Efficiency.
If we take into consideration the number of boys and girls entering our schools and compare it with the number graduating, we get some idea of the great imperfection of our present machinery designed to bring human beings to proper maturity.
It is estimated that only one out of every twenty boys and girls who enter the first grade complete the high school course.
The modern community must adopt more practical means of securing educational efficiency. This means we must take into consideration the relation between the raw material in the form of boys and girls and the finished product in the form of properly TRAINED and GUIDED young men and women.
For some cause the educational factory is WASTING too much raw material. If we were raising cattle or making we handles we would check this waste.
Let's find a way to check some of it among human beings.

NEGRO ARTISTS NOT WANTED IN LONDON
Hannen Swaffer Bitterly
Opposes Engagement Of
Florence Mills And Her
Revue.
CALLS PLAYERS IGNORANT
English Writer Shows
Amazing Ignorance Of
Our Stage Progress
(Hannen Swaffer in Daily Graphic,
London, Enf., Mar. 6, 1924)
The all-black courier which staged at the Empire, is to be the great attraction of the Darker London season, will be as black as night. (Florence Mills Plantation Revue from N. Y.) Indeed, Robert Law, the scenic artist who is to paint a plantation scene so that niggers can act in front of it, said yesterday that they are even bringing over a black cook! So "Aunt Jackie Virginia, the Cool Black Jimmy Virginia, will make waffles which he said, "You could eat forever, and still want more."
Imported Black
"We think it would be a disgrace to both theatrical and music-hall performers if permission were granted to exploit imported black men and women in this way" said Variety Artists Federation, "while hundreds of talented British artists are on the verge of want through lack of funding." "Three, 2,000 variety artists are unemployed in England," said Mr. Voyce, "and the stories I hear every day are heart-rending. When employed, these artists earn anything from £10 a week to £100 a week; but so bad is the shortage of money in England, than so than in France, which used to employ from four variety acts are now saving money by showing second-class pictures instead.
No Objections to White Americans
"We have no objections to American artists coming to England. In fact, ninety per cent of those who come here join us. There are also in England negro turns, who behave themselves and keep their place. But we view with the greatest apprehension a rabent where black artists would actuate mix with white folk at the same time enough here, now without bringing over any more foreign turns which will make our labor market even worse than it is.
The Nigger Problem
I did not speak to many managers about the nigger problem, because most of them are very cautious when entertainment policy is discussed. But J. K. E. Brown, Grossmith and J. K. E. Brown who is responsible for the all-black revue Still Along" eighteen months ago. But he would never dream of being black artists over to England. "I am surprised anybody has thought of it" he said.
Film producers won't have negroes in the film industry, "One Eskimo Night," the new Griffith film to be produced at the New Oxford Theatre on Thursday has a negro part. So Griffith cast Porter Strong a white man for the part and made him black his face. Negroes do not appear in films, but only as waiters or a very mild
White actors would not act with them for one reason and for another there are no Negro actors of ability. They haven't enough intelligence. No white woman film actress would act in a scene where a negro had to touch her, or to make love to her, and if she did the film would be too revolting to show. Even the black in the "Loves of Pharoh," the German show, are really white.
Nigger Revues
"You are right and I am with you in your attack on nigger revues," said a big film man. "I hope that any man who tries to foil black revues on the British public while white artists are are will lose his money, is lowering the standard of entertainment."
The Negroes produced one good actor, Bert Williams. But he's deal'd now," said an American, stavine at the Savoy Hotel. "He was likeked because he knew his place and not make himself aggressive. I like Negroes—as servants and as workers—but not as actors. Why have Negro actors when so many white people ca' act so much better.
Note.—This is part of a bitter campaign that is being carried on to keep colored entertainments from being engaged in the London theatres and other places of amusement, having it's genesis in the great success that such organizations as Will Marion Cook's orchestra and other musicalizations have achieved in London and other European cities since the first incidentally, to head off it possible, the threatened invasion of "Shuffle Along", Florence Milk and the Plantation Revenue and one or two other big all-colored musical revues.
Many Negroes in Movies
As to his charge concerning the employment of Negroes in the movies, he even shows deeper ignorance. A great number of Negroes have appeared on the films in support of white players, and they played important roles too. Among these, the most prominent is Noble Johnson, who as we recall, played the chief "villian" in a number, that of a Mexican, in another of pictures; played the star played "Friday" the second principal role in "Rohinson Crane" and before any, of the beginning, he played a leading role with Marie Walcamp and his earlier, where he got pushed her, but we remember that on at least one occasion, he rescued her and carried her in his arms.

This Reader Comments Singing Of Post-Office Glee Club To the Editor: Kindly allow me small space in your valuable paper to state my appreciation for the high class music given to the Baltimore public by the Post-Office Glee Club. In their appearance before the public this season in recital and sacred concert they have maintained a standard but has ever reached in this city by a male and these young men need encouragement in order that Baltimore may compare with Washington and other cities.
I have been guilty like many others of knocking the young people for their inactivity and indifference but I am glad I can give credit to them when they do something worth while "appreciative."
Why A Wedding Ring?
Why does a man slip a ring on the finger of he woman who becomes his bride? Why is a ring the universal symbol used at weddings. And what is it a symbol of?
The origin of the wedding ring is wrapped in obscurity. In ancient Egypt, before the time of the coinage, gold money was made in the form of a ring, and the fingers of a man's hands were his most convenient bank. He wore his money. When an enamored swalf' slipped one of these money rings on his bride's finger he did it to symbolize that he gave her not only himself but his fortune. He meant, in fact, just what the modern bridegroom mean when he says in the Bible, "the wing at the altar." With all my worldly goods I three endow."
The styles today are hands of gold or platinum, plain or engraved, for wedding rings, and solitaire or cluster rings of any kind of gems, preferably diamonds or pearls, for engagement rings.

Just Say 'Toot'
"TUTS" Name In Egyptian
In its unflentling pursuit of information, the "Afro" obtained the proper pronunciation of Tut-Ankh-Amen's name. Our authority is Dr. Frederick Elden, Egyptologist of Northwestern University.

Nary A Stitch
Women who follow the fashions are not going to wear a stitch this spring.
But don't get excited. That simply means that clothes will be draped, not sewed. Styles will be ala Egyptiene, and Tut's to blaine. There's only one thing bothering the modists now—
The hope that no enterprising archeologist will uncover the tomb of Adam and Eve.

Get A Good Night's Sleep
You may be punished for attempting suicide, if you are caught at it. Robert Wood, a Chicago war veteran, was when he leaped into Lincoln Park lionson. The judge sentenced him to go home and go to bed. It was a sensible sentence. If you are despondent, get a good night's sleep. Then when you get up you will find the world has quite a different book. Few things in life are so serious as the brooding and worry with which we often torment ourselves.
Truth In A Cemetery
Wandering into the cemetery at Towson, Frank Lockwood, Eastern tenderfoot, noticed the tombstones indicated most of the early settlers had departed this life rather early. "Must have been a bad epidemic in these parts," Lockwood commented to an oneman nearby. "Would die of a disease." "Most of them died of a difference of opinion," the old man answered. Differences of opinion cause most of the trouble in history. In Europe, today also.

We are not too proud or too cowardly to fight in national defense, but we have too much regard for American life and treasure to fight the battles of other Powers. America will spend no blood and treasure in acting as a policeman on the other side of the Atlantic, if the European powers persist in fighting out their quarrels after the fashion they have been following for centuries.
Battle Cry
More than half beaten, but four-

Facing the storm and the night,
Breathless and reeling, but tearless.
Here is the jull of the fight,
I linger not but before Thee.
What tho I live with the winner
Or perish with those who fall?
Only the cowards are sinners.
Nightingale the fable is all.
Give me no pity, nor spare me;
Calm not the wrath of my foe.
See where he beckons to dare me!
Blooding, half heaten—I go.
Not for the glory of winning,
Not for the fear of the night:
Shunning the battle is sinning—
Oh spare me the heart to fight!
Red is the mist about me,
Deen is the wound in my side:
"Coward" thou cries to front me,
O terrible foe, thou hast lied!
Here with my battle before me,
Grant that the woman who bore me
Suffered to suckle a man.

"I guess it's too late, mother: I guess it's too late," said Walter S. Steger, New York, when notified that after a fight of two years he needed to allow him $80 in month and an additional allowance of $775.
His prophecy proved true. He is dead. Steiger had long since given up hope of Government aid. He was gassed in the Argonne drive. He came home with his horse but the Overseer made no award. He was the American Legion, of which he was a member; took up the fight for him.

The scientists have known, and the disinterested archaeologists said, long before there was any idea that Tutunkhamen's tomb would ever be found, that he and his queen-ancestor were Negroes—that is, Negroes in the same sense in which we use the word for our colored people in the United States. A man and a folks were darker and more characteristic Negroes than 98 out of any random 100 Negroes of Americas.
But it is amusing that since Tu has been found, in all his wealth and glory, dating from a time when all "white" people, especially the Toubonite whites who now rule most of the earth, were as wild as mountain deer, and were maked, uncurled savages; since Tu has turned up with such a glory from such time, the white people and their newspapers are very unwilling to get knowledge that Tatakhammen was a Negro.
WHITES WERE NAKED.
SAVAGES
Why? Simply because it puts us white folks into such a ridiculous and ludicrous situation to have to acknowledge that Negroes high civilized rulers where all white men were wild, and at the same time to be objection to Negro's sitting in the bureaucracy of the theatre, to be exhibiting the effrontery of claiming that a little black child is not good enough to sit near a little white child in the public school.
It is not pleasant to be conscious of a plain inconsistency in our own position. To acknowledge that Tutankhamen and his folks were Negroes, and that they were fine Iroquois, reclaimed on golden couchts, and beautifully beautiful baskets, in their Civilization which was already thousands of years old, at a time when the wonderfully "superior" ancestors of the Anglo-Saxon race had not even learned to cloth their bodies and cook their food, and ledged their settlement simply he too insisted with our own idea of the "eternal and inescapable" inferiority of black people.
STATUE PROVES TUT... BLACK
So what will we do? We will just solve our consciences and save our lives by categorically denying that Tut was a Negro. Oh, to be sure he left a likeness tend doubtless a dattering likeness) of himself right in the entrance to his tomb, yet his statue with black face, his lips and rather ordinary South Carolina-Negro form—but what do we hear him not? He is not here to speak for himself, and the statue cannot speak. If he were here how passionately he might, resent the implication that he had any relation whatever to the savage and undeadened wild poly-rise far to the North of his country. If he had ever heard of them.
SCIENTIST SAYS "RICH BROWN"
But "dead men tell no tales," so we will adopt the self-contraindictory phrase of H. G. Wells and call Tut a "dark white"—that is 100 say, a black-white. Or maybe we will follow that American pseudo-scientist, who broadcasted over the radio: "Some scientists say he was Negro; but we do not agree with that—but he was a rich brown in color. Do you get that? The little word 'Negroid' is camouflage, and means nothing but Negro in the African sense. Even poor, black, kinky-haired Siki, when he was up Carpenter so decisively, but called 'Negro' in the white press; but when McTigue, the white man, got the better of Siki in a bout, it was reported: "The Negro was beaten."
MANY BROWNS IN AMERICA
And how do you like that "rich brown?" You know, the American Negro has every kind of brown that God and Nature have been white to invent—but here comes an American white man inventing a new kind of "brown" for Pharaoh, to keep from classifying him in one of the Negro varieties. We have had the "hich," the "low," the "medium," the "chocolate," the "teasing," the "pleasing," the "nantalizing," and all other possible white American adds the "hich." Some say that "Tutankhamen's people put that statue at the entrance to his tomb to toll robbers, butwonder if they did not put it there because some old priest foretold that some day the inferior" wild whites to the North would try to lie about "Tutankhamen" and features.

LABOR TO TAKE HAND IN COMING ELECTION
Henry F. Broening Tells Afro Unions Want Better Conditions for All Races
COLORED WORKERS PRAISED
"Wherever They Join Unions, They Are Loyal," He Says
"Organized Labor will use every available ballot in the coming election to further its fight for standard living conditions for working men without regard to race or creed" said Henry F. Browning, local labor chief in an interview with an AFRO-AMERICAN representative this week.
The Conference Committee of the local Federation consisting of representatives from more than a hundred organizations, including the colored locals, have formulated a state by which union men will be guided in the coming election and this state has been made out solely of women and present attitude of the various candidates as to important policies and measures affecting the status of labor.
Local Colored Folk Awakening
Considerable progress has been made of late in organizing colored workers especially in the building trades. There is one thing that can be said of colored men, continued by Browning. Whenever they become bonafide members they are legal.
Are there still some opposition here in Baltimore among white crafts to including Negroes in the high program?" Mr. Broening in his
so far as the joint organization of colored and white men in the same union there is still some opposition, admitted to the union, in which they are not welcome in their own locals. The fact is we have tried to organize groups nearly as large as the people now realize that the affiliation of colored men and women is imperative to the best interests of unionism. Like any other group there is competition.
in the clothing industry. Some time ago an organizer in the clothing industries was called into one of the large Baltimore concerns manufacturing overalls to organize the business by the concern in the fabric that they could use the union label on their products. There was one department in this concern given completely access to Negro workers and were able to carry out the plan because the group would not join the union.
Workers Lose Jobs
When it was found that the colored workers would not organize in this plant the management properly let them out in order that he might use the union label on his products.
We have found that in some cases the experiences of colored people in organizations militate against unionizing them. Often they have gone willingly into organizations only to have some official make off with the funds this has produced much scorpion.
"On the other hand it must be admitted that the attitude of the white crafts has not always been what it should be, but when you said the fact that a large number of white employers wish keep the Negroes unorganized order that they may keep wages how it is easy to understand the now progress of unionism among this class.
Negro Wages Low"
"Where the colored people' are not affiliated with the unions their wages are invariably below the standard.
There is for instance a colored man who know employed in one of clothing manufacturing concerns now that is getting $15 per week, as a trimmer. The union wage for this very work is $40 per week. White union men must, but the kind of getting not less than this, it sensible that colored men should still be willing to be made tools that fetter not only themselves in economic shiver but to keep the general standards

To Keep You Guessing
Read these riddles aloud to the family, withholding the answer, and see how many gan guess them.
Why is an old knife like coffee? Because it must be ground before use. What eye never sees? A needles eye. Which travels the faster, heat or cold? Heat, because you can catch roid. Why is the letter A like honey? Because it is followed by the B. Why is a washwoman like a telegraph wire? Because she runs from pole to pole. Why is a retired carpenter like a barrister? Because he is an explainer. How would you speak of a tailor when you did not remember his name? As, Mr. So and So (and sew). Why study like a horse? Because the more youlick it the faster it goes.
How Would You Figure It?
How many apples did Adam and Eve eat?
Some say Eve 8 and Adam 2—a total of 16 only.
Now, we figure the thing out far differently; Eve 8 and Adam 8, also—total 104.
On second thought think the above figures are entirely wrong. If Eve 8 and Adam 82, certainty that Eve 82 will be the scientific man, however, on the strength of the theory that the ant-diluvians were a race of giants, reason something like this: Eve 82 will be wrong again. What could be clearer than if Eve 11 and Adam 112 the total was $833?
We believe the following to be the true solution: Eve 114 Adam 114 and Adam 112. Still another calculation is as follows: If Eve 114 Adam, Adam 1124 oblige Eve—total $2,056.
WHO SENT?
"You said you'd never go and see Alice again until she sent for you, and now I hear you sent for her."

My Darling list:
As I watched the last of winter vanishing and feel the fool evening breezes. It makes me think of the day when you and I first meet.
Can it be that we do not think the same thoughts? You are to me what the sunshine is to the flowers. Your sunny disposition, the sunkissed smile that you wear, make me feel that after all life is a wonderful thing and really worth while.
I enjoyed every moment of my life from the time you love me and promised to be mine. I was ever experiencing the changed. I see the beautiful side of life. I dream each night of you, sweet one, my love grows more and more each day, and this world without you would be nothing. I love you, still rings in my ear. The birds on their way from their Southern homes seem to sing it. The cold evening breezes blowing through my window, as I am writing this letter seems to echo the words which I ever forget.
The months you have been staying away from me, it seemed an eternity, and these evenings when I see here alone, without you, most likely you, I pray each night you love and your return; you are in my every thought and I live each day in hopes that tomorrow will bring you back to me.
Although the distance between us is not great, our distance is in such close proximity with yours that I feel I'm looking into those wonderful brown eyes. The mirror of your soul and hear you whisper that you love just tonight was I thinking of the many evenings we have spent gether, and I am sure you sing stings soft some sweet love song I see you sitting down beside me on the green grass, I carefully stroked your wavy hair.
Your letters are an inspiration I love every word you remember, you use my only thought, write often, always and always.

My fairy dream was realized when many years ago, my sister said, "It is finished," and gave to me the most beautiful blue serge pleated skirt I had ever seen. It was suitable for all occasions. I was happy in possession. First, I gave the hobbie some into fashion. I was satisfied until I had a hobbie. Without realizing how extreme fashion change, I made my skirt over into a hobble.

If my experience of married life will help others I gladly pass this on.
We have been married five years the childhood sweetheart of mine. There have been perfect happiness between us.
When we were first married we began by sharing our secrets. There is nothing in my life hidden from me. It is understood anything we want to know we are to ask about it freely. We have a partnership in money matters. In fact I attend to all the business.
Things that is like to cut can always be the world and let him see what we are still counting each other. Often my hubby comes home with a lovely box of candy under his arm and never has he failed to bring me a gift for each birthday and amulet for such a valentine or Easter.
Then here is something we never do: We never let a misunderstanding rest between us a single moment. I have often given over and say I am sorry when I know I am right. It doesn't hurt, you know, when one's happiness is at stake. Last, but certainly just as important, never share your affairs with your chum nor your made acquaintances. Another man or woman only sympathizes with you just so long roof. When you leave they flee as easily as you come from a plague because they think you are crazy—Mrs. Harry R. Hall, Charlotteville, Va.
Games For Younger Children
MAGIC MUSIC
One player is sent from the room; while he is absent one of those remaining hides a thinable, a cork, or some other small object to the absent one.
When the object is hidden, the absent player is recalled and proctored to the absent object. While he is doing this the others sing or clap their hands, the sound being soft and low when the music is far away from the object, the sound being loud and proches it. Plano music is desirable, but for school-room use singing is found to be more interactive. For very little children hand-clapping is pleasing and sometimes more easily used than singing.
NOTE: This game helps to make the children alert.

Heart Problems
Answered by Ama Roney
"Bright Eyes" is much in love with a young man who says he loves her, but who does not treat her with kindness. Should she go on loving him or try to forget him?
Treat him as a friend, "Bright Eyes," he a sister to him, but have other friends and a dearer one when the time comes. This one won't do for a husband.
It Is His Move
"Tearful" has been going with a young man for two months. They were engaged, but every time she wished to see the date he put her on, she loved him very much and wishes to know if she should write to him.
It is the young man's "move." The girl doesn't write, it will do no good to write to him. There are other fish in the sea, and I dare say, better ones.
Narcississus Is In Trouble
"Tanglefoot" is a student with no time to devote to the girls, but a pretty young blonde girl, not knowing about the more "Tanglefoot" ignores her the more she falls for it, or him. He wishes to know what he is to do about it.
Do nothing, "Tanglefoot" notheses, give your time to this girl, or any other, unless you wish to. She will probably live thru it.
"Betty" has a young man, well educated and refined, who has asked her to marry him, but who wishes her to wait two years before she can marry her is that he is of West Indian parentage and she is afraid her parents will object to that. She is probably worrying unnecessarily, but probably have a fear of her her parents before matters go further. If the young man was born in this country, he will probably make a husband of the American type: that is he easier to get along with. Usually he will have a reason for waiting, long engagements are a mistake.

An Idle Tongue's Work
She was a new clerk in one of the big stores in our town and quiet to the degree of shyness. To save humidity bills she actually sold her services to serve to emphasize her solder disposition. She mude friends of everyone in a business way but no intimates. However, Mrs. W., a member of the company, told me quite a show of taking absolute possession of her. She meant well, but her tongue wagged en entirely too freely, and she prided herself in her ability as a matronmaker, in which she worked all at all clever.
A Fine Young Man
A young man from country came to town on cotton buyer for the firm. He soon proved himself a fine, clean young man and made friends. It was not notice that the business had become interested. The admiration seemed mutual and their friendship grew swiftly, not however when the wife of the businesswoman wore a Mrs. W, thought. They enjoyed many dinners at her home, giving her the opportunity she sought—a chance to work with a twist of the head or wink of the eye she often inferred she was able to enlighten him on some little joke or secret of her business. The girl understood her perfectly, but never thought it worth while to tell the young man their hostess was an artful cosy girl. Everything she would not give the reporter of the town paper, even the she called herself "ma" to them.
And "mi" never lost an opportunity when down town, to have a chat with the young man—no little clerk always being the inter- service he remarked. "I've often wondered why she wears black so much when she is so young." With a lift of the eyebrows which hung low, she looked at Mrs. W. said, as she turned to go. "Oh, mourning for her second husband; hadn't you heart?" And, missed on out leaving him, she looked at the girl because they had talked much of their past and she had frequently said she never cared for, or even thought seriously, of any man until she used him. "She had to act on a decision—consequently before he slept that night he had obtained from his boss a promise to transfer him to another place the next day." The story is a long one. Suffice it to say it took several years and the careful work of an earnest friend to right the wrong caused by the wording in a carless lesk. M. L, D.

S. H. Dudley and W. O Walker Associated With Taylor In New Washington Baseball Club
Ten Players Including Joe Lewis and Buck Ridgley
Left Tuesday
Washington, D. C. April 4—The Washington "Potomacs" left Tuesday under the management of Ben Taylor for training at Richmond, Va. The team is expected to remain in Virginia about a month before officially opening the season in the East, where it will be associated with the newly-formed Eastern League.
Ten men made the trip from Washington, with the reminder of the squad going direct from their homes to the Virginia College. A series of games with the Richmond team have been booked and registrations are under way for other games with Virginia and North Carolina College and independent teams.
MANY STARS UNDER CONTRACT
The signing of William Ross, Maurice Williams, "Bullet" Campbell, pitchers; Ralph Jefferson, William Woods, outfielders; Lewis, catcher, and "Huck" Ridgeley, infielder, has been announced by Manager Taylor. In addition to the above group and "Spees" Clark, Wayne Carr and Eg堡ston, who, with the exception of Clark, are now in Washington, three men from Georgia, one infielder from Texas and three brothers from North Carolina, all highly recommended and reputed to possess major league class, will receive tryouts at the training camp.
Manager Taylor considers himself fortunate in landing Ross, who is credited as being one of the best pitchers in the game. Last season Ross was with the Yankees and had success in doing with the team. He is a right-hander and started pitching in Texas in 1913. During 1829-21-22, Ross pitched in the California Winter League (white) and was primarily responsible for his team winning the pennant.
Both Williams and Campbell are fast ball pitchers. Williams, a right-hander, towers over 6 feet 4 inches and weighs over 200 pounds. He was an A. B. C. member during the season of 1921-22. Campbell, also an orthodox twerker, hails from Boston and plays for the Eastern team Campbell, as several Eastern teams were on his trail. Woods and Jefferson are looked upon as sure regulars. The former is recognized by colored and white sport writers as one of the fastest men in the game. Woods has played with the American Giants, Columbus Burkeyes and the A. B. C.'s in the National Negro League. He has few equivs in laying down a bunt and beating it out. Jefferson began his professional career under the hats of Atlanta University and has the reputation of being one of the best hit and run workers in the game.
Ridgely and Lewis are not new to many of the Eastern fans; both played with the Baltimore Black Sox last season. "Bucky" Ridgely is one of the most promising Washington boys in the game. Lewis has a strong throwing arm and is regarded as a fair hitter and will likely be carried as an understudy to Egerton. The men coming from the South whose names have not been announced were looked over, by Taylor's sense. Manager Taylor makes no secret of the fact that he has high hopes of he majority of these men making good. The name "Potomacs" was selected from over a hundred names submitted by loyal Washington fans. In all parts of the country people have learned to think the Washington and in a short time Ben's Ted's aggregation will hear this same association with the Capitol of the Nation.
Messrs. S. H. Dudley, well-known theatre manager; William O. Walker, managing editor of The Washington Tribune; and B. J. Myler, the author of the editor of the romances" were the judges who selected the name.
“Y” 46; STORER 14
On Saturday night, March 24, the "Y" Big Five slaughtered the Storer College cagers at the "Y" 46-14. Allor and Madden of the Big Five were the star markamen, the former caging six field goals and seven fouls, and the latter caging seven from the field. Brown Storer forward caged four of his team's six field goals.
Line-up:
"Y" (46) STORER (14)
Allor F. Brown

DAY HEADED 69 AFRO LEAGUERS IN POINTS
DAY HEADED 69 AFRO LEAGUERS IN POINTS
Scored Total of 123; Hill Second with 98; Ailor Third. 91; Brown
Now that the Afro Basketball League has become history, we have set ourselves the task of tabulating the total number of points scored by the individual players during the series with the result that is shown by the table that follows.
As will be seen, Day, of the Morgan College team, led the league with a total of 123; Hill, his teammate, takes second place with 85; Ailor of the "Y" champions, is third with 91; thereby beating out Brown of "Hi" for this position by one point.
Last week's Argo carried the All-City selections of Messrs. Welb, Gibson and Lane, the official officers of the league, and while it may appear the height of presumption on part to take issue with such an expert basket triumvirate, we are convinced that they shot somewhat wide of the mark in two selections for the first team.
AILOR PEST MARKSMAN
For the second forward position they chose Baskerville, of the Arrows. While it is true that the little forward played a great game, in the latter part of the series, pulling some sensational work occasionally for all-round consistent playing we choose Albor. And it marksmanship counts in the estimate of a selection, our judgment is strengthened for as will be seen Albor caged a total of 36 field goals, and 14 touchdowns in 36 games for 31 points, whereas Baskerville caged only 15 field goals and seven fouls in 9 games for 43 points.
HAYES BEST GUARD
Our second disagreement with the arbiters' selection is in the second guard position, their choice being Payne, of "HI" School, where our choice is Hayes of the "Y" team. In our judgment, the margin of difference in Hayes' favor is even greater than that between Aller and Eskerville. We are not aware of any team in our observation, we are certain that Hayes work was generally not consistently effective than Payne's.
As in the first case, we are again sustained in the question of marksmanship, for the table below shows that Hayes caged eight field goals and six foulouts in nine games for a total of 22 points, whereas Payne caged only six field goals in nine games for a total of 10 points. Eskerville and Payne we select to all Aller and Hayes places, respectively, on the second team. For the rest, we are in agreement with the selections made by the arbiters.

Famous Smoky City Quin Prove Too Strong for 'Greeks' Who Are Taken Into Camp 50-34
SESSOMS TOO TALL
Visiting Player Couldn't Be Touched by Locals Without A Ladder
The famous Locendi basketball team came to Baltimore last Monday night for the purpose of matching their skill against the Athenian quintet, and after forty minutes of somewhat interesting but seldom exciting maneuvers, the Westerners 'emerged victor, 50-24.
It was the first time that the famous Smoky City quint had descended to exhibit their basketball wares in this city, and as a consequence, coupled to some extent with the fact that it was a holiday, the biggest crowd that has witnessed a court game this season was on hand.
Due to the long-helded skill of the visitors, none except the most summative of the dye-in-the-vion. The Athenian rooters expected the home team to win—unless "Well, miracles do sometime happen." Well, they do, but they didn't.
But the "Greeks" have nothing to be ashamed of. They played a fine game, but the visitors played a better—when it was necessary. The locals with their machine collapsed when the cliff check was cranked up and shut out on the floor at the first whistle and began chugging up and down the floor apparently hitting on all five cylinders.
Losadi Scores First
Encouraged by the cheers of the packed gallery of rooters the "Greeks" attempted to "step on it" and biff. The engine bid gone dead, Score 2-9, Loendi, Credit, Posey. In their efforts to prevent the locals from getting the old machine working once more, two foul penalties were charged against the visitors and "changed from the line from both times tying the score. From that time, on, the "Greeks" machine was little more than a wheelbarrow. They tried desperately time and again to get it working, but each time the Westerners would toss in the proverbial monkey-wrench, and the jigs was up. It was apparent that the visitors were never extended to their last match. The seemed convinced that they were doing danger unless they so willed it, and thus jugged along in front of the locals, putting on a spur only whig the "Greeks" came too close.
Sessoms Too Tall
The elongated Sessoms was the real thorn in the side of the Athenians. Stepladders, being barred, there wasn't anybody on the local team who could argue with him when he once got the ball up in the air around the basket. Sessoms has two good hands, but he had only had his work in pushing them in under the basket, would have been searedly less effective as he invariably used only one hand. Nine baskets from the field was his harvest. Ricks, also starred with nine from the plain, tossed in with the greatest ease and Posey while credited with only three, one of these was shot from a parry position with the back arm, the most sensational shot of the game, also caged four in eight tries.
Brown and Woods were the star marksmans of the "Greeks" the former caging five field goals, and two fourths of the latter five field goals. Butler, Athenian guard also did some good work in his position.

War Between Eastern and Western Baseball Leagues Goes Merrily On
Chicago, April 3.—(Special)
"All baseball players who signed to play the 1923 season with clubs of the Western Circuit of the N. X. L. and who jumped their contracts and went East to play, will be barred from baseball in the N. X. L. forever," says an official bulletin, issued today "unless they return or apply for reinstatement before the 28th day of April."
"Contract jumpers will not be tolerated in this league," said the official, "and it is our aim to make it so very difficult for the ball player who jumps, to return until those who perhaps anticipate such a move will think twice before he makes the leap."
Just as soon as the Eastern club owners know that they have players who cannot play anywhere else except in the East they will ask off of their large salaries and the players will see the error of their step," concluded the official.
Players here view the above report for Chicago as an attempt of Rube Foster to hit back at the Eastern League which has enticed a number of this best players.

Maybe if His Honor is not rushed with campaigning for re-election, he may stop long enough to fire the pistol that starts one of the races. He told the AFRO-AMERICAN yesterday he is going to try to stop in at the meet and book over the boys and girls. Some of the members of the School Board will be there too maybe Superintendent West and Superintendent with the other celebrations, who will be eagerly sought by the thousands of school children, who are expected to attend the meet will be Earl Johnson, Baltimore's own, and the national ten-mile-champion runner of the world. Earl's coming will be a special feature of the meet provided especially for the boys and girls by the AFRO - AMERICAN. Many of them knew Earl Johnson as schoolboy Earl Morgan College, but he has not seen him since he has brought honor to Baltimore as his championship runner.
Earl hasn't done any training this winter. He has been lying low, waiting for warm weather. He has his eyes on the next Olympic games, and expects to go abroad for the second time on a team representing the best athletes in the United States.

AL HERFORD DENIES HE DISCOVERED GANS
Greatest Lightweight Wa Errand Boy in Market When Brought to Him By Caleb Bond
GOT $2 FOR FIRST FIGHT
Won Lightweight Title In One Round; Drew Purses of $25,000, $50,000
By Afro Sports Editor
Al Herford did not "discover"
Joe Gans greatest lightweight lighter of all time. This fact was revealed to the sports editor of the AFRO this week by no less a person than the former boxing impresario himself. Gans was discovered by Caleb Bond, "white" who had a fish stall in Lexington Market. In denying that he discovered Gans, Mr. Herford sets the record straight on what has been an accepted theory ever since the famous old master boxed his way into the pugilistic spotlight. Following, is the true history of the beginning of Gans' career as told by
Gans was employed by Bond as errand boy. There were many kids hanging about the market for the purpose of picking up extra pennies by running errands. As a consequence, scraps were frequent. One day Gans and another boy came together in a clash of more than ordinary ferocity. It drew a crowd. Gans won. Somebody suggested that another boy could bear him. They pushed him into the circle. He went the way of the first boy. Another boy was dragged out. He went down in less time than the others.
Fought For $2 Purse
Bond quickly recognized the natural fighting instinct of his errand boy and took him to Mr. Herford, who was then pronouncing boxing bouts. Gans was seen in a preliminary at the Old Monumental at the Old Monumental, the purse being infrequent sum of $2, Gans won. Herford was impressed. Buck Loleman, who was then conducting bouts at the Avalon Club, put him on in some preliminaries and he usually came on winner. His next most important battle was with Kangaroo. The purse was $10, Kangaroo keyed his man in 22 rounds. His skill so advanced the crowd that they showered money upon the gans with hands still encased in his gloves was prevented from picking it up at once.
First Big Bout With Kentucky
Rosebud
Gans' prowess was now becoming so well established, that Mr. Herford had assumed complete management of him, beguip seeking professional opponents, and the first man secured was Kentucky Rosebud who had recently defeated George Dixon famous colored featherweight who was then taken away by hiseyhay. Gans knifed the Rosebud. His next match was with Young Griffo, the Australian who was then claiming the lightweight title. Gans proved that he was no "seven days' wonder" by holding Griffo to a draw in 19 rounds.
Quickest. Kayo On Record
Quickest. Kairo On Record
From then on Gans began moving down his opponents until he had won the right to battle Frank Erne for the lightweight title of the world. They met and Gans established a record for a knockout in a championship match by putting Erne down for the count in the first minute of fighting. The biggest purse that Gans won under the management of Herford was $25,000. This was for his bout. Jimmy Britt, Sometimes for Gans won the lightweight title, he and Herford disagreed, and the famous old master continued to fight, doing practically his own managing. It was during this period of his career that Gans won his biggest nurse—$50,000 in a bout with battling Nelson, for the title.
Gans had been taking on weight, and in his attempt to scale down to the lightweight figure—133 pounds, he so weakened, himself that he not only lost his title, but his health as well, and it was only a few months after this that he died, a victim to the white plague, and was buried in Mt. Auburn Cemetery.

The University of California is certainly giving Leland Stanford University and incidentally other cracker schools like John Hopkins and Naval Academy a lesson in democracy. Stanford refused to box California because the latter had two colored boys on the team.
"Fellows," said a pleasant voice, "stand for principle. The thing that we fought for, you know fellows, in the war was DEMOCRACY—that means, a fair chance for everyone." It was Frank Kleberger, head of the Physical Education Department of California University, speaking. I know you boys are all worked up to a frenzy about the matches, but I think we should be glad to stand on the principle on which we are standing tonight."
When American colleges kick out the Lords and install more Kleebergers, and blacklists all Stanford, we will be getting on towards what was promised us in the World War. then will begin to be established the kind of government that the Fathers of the republic had in mind when they wrote the Constitution.
I hinted last week, that the Stanford that was doubtless afraid of being beaten. I have before me a clipping which states that Johnson the colored heavyweight, kayed every man he faced last year, and that Jones is a real hunginger in the lightweight class. To me, this gives the Stanford refusal a sort of canary tint. What say you?
"Tham" Langford certainly must have been pressing around with this monkey gland business or sumpn. Met Kid Savage down in Mexico City last Saturday and bad him listening to the sweet chirp of the little birds in the very first session. Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to hook up Sam with Battleing Sikl. And then again, maybe it would be a bad idea—for "Sock."
Dr. H. L. Shanks just returned from German, East Africa, talks of a tribe named the Wutusi, whose men are wonderful broad jumpers. With a little bill as a "start he saus" they men can clear eight feet in the high jump.
6 FT. 7.5-16 IS THE RECORD FOR THE RUNNING HIGH JUMP, SO IT SEEMS THAT THE HEATHENS" HAVE A LITTLE SOMETHING ON THE CIVILIZED LEAPERS.
SOX OPEN PRACTICE
WITH WELDON SUNDAY
Owing to the chilling blast that prevailed last Sunday, the scheduled first call for practice of the Black Sox turned out to be a more whisper that failed to stir the players from their firesides. However, the weatherman promises to be more congenial this Sunday, and if such is the case, the fans will get their first eyeful of some of the new recruits in a double-header which is scheduled to be played with the Wetland club of Annapolis. Manger Spedden said early this week, that with the exception of Rijo, who has been in cuba all winter and who with no goal in April 15 all other players are expected to be on hand ready to go through their first races.
Most of the improvements at the park have been completed, and everything will soon be in readiness for the opening of the season which takes place on April 29, with the Cuban Stars, who is a member of the new Eastern league, (as are the Black Sox.

Advertising Contracts Lent Circuit Which Will Present Musical Shows In Race Theatres
OPENS IN SIX WEEKS
All Control Houses In West, South and East, Playing 40-Week Season
By L. A. Jackson
The first and only exclusive, oration ever perfected in the United States to play only colored real shows in the largestropolitan cities has just been edited and is ready to begin aboard. The circuit is known as Syndicate Attractions Circuit and is claimed that there are two weeks already contracted and ready to open within the six weeks.
Robert Levy, is president and manager of the circuit and the organizer and originator idea. Levy is the father of the show movement and he who organized the Lafayette, which company won wide fame by its superior names. Levy is also credited with being the first producer to organized a colored troupe in played a consecutive season for 5 consecutive Attractions. Symphonic Attractions Circ will control the shows and it is expected that the show route will be able to play for a season of at least 7 weeks. Houses will be built in the principal cities some which have been played colored. The idea of forging the State Circus to compete to Mr. Levy, to entertain and own secrec tions when it developed. There was a field for exclusive attractions but that con-
o the owners of theatres playly colored shows have been at home to get the proper consecutive things" said Mr. Levs. "My and several other theatre owners our houses doing a good job whenever we could get tickets. But it developed then and now that our houses are organized for the purpose of simplifying attire to theatres, such as mine, so we can have new ones every day. We have made our proposition to the producer as attractive possible. While we will not use our new product any shows ours we will sew a standard of motion and every show on the bill will be as complete as any new organization now playing theatres and circuits. We will send foot and will start our seasonably. We can start just in May or June as we can fall for our season is a peril one."
number of well known comedy shows have already been franchised for productions they have shows in rehearsal, shows who can qualify and can profit officials they can earn from the audience and the circuit will be taken on as the necessity arrives, the circuit will comprise theatrics for West for Chicago and also take in Southern houses, and set in the theaters in all the cities. While many coloured locations are now playing the country, booking they can get a theatre these although banking money will finance the new circuit.

MARYLAND GIRL IN 'HOW COME' CHORUS
Clare Campbell Occupies End In Chorus Of Show Shortly To Be Seen On Broadway
E. J. A. Jackson
One of the clever little girls that constitutes the big chorus of the "How Come" show that has had a six week's run at the Dunbar Theater, Philadelphia, to capacity business, and which will open at the Solywn, a white theater on 42' at Broadway, New York. Clare Campbell, a Maryland girl.
Clare is on the end of the first row of that beautiful chorus, in the guide position that sets the standard of "Pop" and the speed for the whole line up. "End Girls" are usually in line for the next step to soubrette or ingenuity much coveted spots as principals.
The diminutive Clare is very young, and very little, but in her Hargesturton has sent into the theatrical world as intelligent bit of artistry as has graced the colored stage in some time. Clare only weighs 95 lbs, but she has a well modelled figure and a winsome smile that prompted the Billboard critic to select her as the representative of the chorus for picturing the big authoritative amusement publication. Maybe the Afro-American will be able to show its. Maryland readers a picture of their product soon.
"TENNESSEE GIRLS"

Richmond, Va. April 5—Crosby and Dick's "Tennessee Girls" with Louis Gearing as musical director went over with a bang at the Rippodrome last night. They have what is conceded here, the best show seen at this house for a long time, snappy and entirely free from suggestiveness and profanity.

You wouldn't think she would sing "jazz" songs, and she doesn't. Her voice is warm, at times emotional, and again so very soft and fragrantly sweet. She is "at home" with Cadman's "At Dawning," or Del Riego's "Thank God for a Garden." Her voice just sort of fits into the rhythm and story of love melodies. She makes records exclusively for The Black Swan Photograph Company of New York City. Is it no wonder their sales are growing?

Since then he has played in a number of successful films, the most notable of them being Booth Parkington's "Henred."
Altho Leon and his mother are by no means wealthy and a film contract would bring in sufficient money to place them in very comfortable circumstances; they feel that a good school education is by far more valuable for Leon at the present than a film contract no matter how attractive. Leon, however, is ambitious and as a page in the company with the sixth Hover Vacuum Supper Company at the big Industrial exposition being held in Long Beach, he is accumulating a bank account without sacrificing his educational training.
BISHOP-DESMOND CO.
ON T. O. B. A. CIRCUIT
Now - Touring South Presenting Dramatic Plays In Vaudeville Houses As An Experiment
As proof that the T. O. B. A. officials meant business when they declared at the host meeting of the association that a greater variety of entertainment would be provided for the patrons, it is now announced that President Milton B. Starr is personally conducting a tour of the Andrew Bishop-Cheo Desmond Players thus the bigger houses of the circuit.
C. P. McClane, Mgr. of the Royal Theatre, Philadelphia, who has been handling the business of the Bishop Dramatic Company advises us that the company will open at Mr. Starr's own theatre, the Bijon in Nashville on April 2, with a route that includes Memphis, Shreveport, New Orleans, Jacksonville, Charleston and Savannah. This is the tour that was being negotiated last autumn, upon the advice of Messrs. Starr and Reevin was determined to doubt with good reasons. The experiment of sandwiching dramatic shows between the gradeville weeks will be watched with considerable interest by the whole show world. When Mr. McClane called at the Billboard last week, he was very enthusiastic about the possibilities. With him were two Mr. Williamses owners of an advertising business and leases of the dance auditorium in the New Olympia Theater on Broad street.

TURNS BACK O
COLORED PATRON
By J. A. Jackson
A trade paper, (not the Billboard) stitches that "Go-Go" may be moved from the Daily Theater on Sixty-five and another theater farther down town to get away from the big Negro patronage that was attracted to the house during the nearly two year's run of "Shuffle Along." This seems like a bit of ingratitude from those whom this very trampage has brought from the business of affluence. The theater in question had been dark for more than a year when "Shuffle" went into it. Since then it has been a mooney-maker, and the subject of some very expensive improvement, made from these earnings. Its owners have paid off a very long list of judgements of long stitches, and not moved in the business end of the colored attraction are again "on velvet."
The lyrics and music of "Go-Go" are by two colored men Alex Rogers and Lucky Roberts. It was a tribute to those men that attracted many to the opening of the album and was achieved is based on its admitted Negro characteristics of speed etc. It is known that during the run of "Shuffle" and of "Liza" in the house, that a colored man was paid to sit on the floor and play on the things that pleased the public; and the critics' remarks upon the resemblance to those productions.
VARNELL'S REVIEW
Star Theater, Shreveport, La.
March 13.
Mecharr and DeGaston the Steppers with Julius McGarr doing a 'straight', and DeGaston as principle comic, Carleton Fletcher second comic, Beram Goin, second comedian and the following girls,—Ruth, Lilly Yuen, Addele Cole, Johanne Mie Berry, Francis Goin, and Johann Jodon, the second comedian. The show was a smart one that run an hour and twenty-five minutes. It registered a 55 per cent both of costumes and material, and played to a full house inspire of the freezing weather. The show opens with the introduction of the girls before a special drop that is only partly raised at first. The first song number went over well, as did Fletcher's dance offering, DeGaston and Fletcher at a talk to the delight of the audience. It was clean and clever.
A cate scene wherein Fletcher and McGarr attempt to eat without pay, the attempt going wrong due to one's failure to make an appearance at the proper time, pulled rounds, of "applause." McGarr and he chorus then sang "Ten Little Fingers," after which Defaston put over a revelation on mother that was a riot. McGarr does a nice "straight" and shows a great deal of personality. It was a great evening's entertainment. —Wesley Varnell.

MOTHER-IN-LAW OF TUT LOOKED LIKE MADAME WALKER
Prof. Hansbury Says Queen of Sheba and Cleopatra Were More Negro Than We
Washington, D. C., April 5—The mother-in-law of Tut-Akhimen, Pharohol of Egypt, otherwise known at Tut very much resembled the late Madame Walker and the Queen of Sheba and Cleopatra had more Negro blood in them than we have, was the statement of Professor Leo Hansbury, professor of Ancient History in Howard University this week.
Prof. Hansbury was asked by the AFRO-AMERICAN, if there were any beautiful women in Negro history more famous than the Queen of Sheba and Cleopatra He said.
There was certainly more Negro blood in Cleopatra and the Queen of Sheba than there was white blood, and no doubt more Negro blood than there be any women of today—but I don't think you had best select them as types of Negro beauty.
The real and ascertainable fact on their physical or racial characteristics are either too few or two much disputed to warrant this being safely done. There are women that will serve equally as well and with whom the evidence of Negro origin is more demonstrable, so to speak.
Nefectare Athames was unquestionably a Negro of pure blood and she was regarded as one of the greatest and most beautiful queens in Egyptain history.
Queen Tyi, wife of Amenhole III, mother of Riheman the great, heretic king and mother-in-law of Tuwankh the king of Egypt, woman of the same physical or racial type as Madam Walker and her daughter. There are many others in this same class that might be named.

Simon, 705 N. Mount and one good time and ant Fisher and Patrolman Town of the Northwestern Police station scratched their heads anxiously for half an hour Saturday night. The producers suspected that whiskey was being sold at the restaurant of Joseph Castigni, 933 Pennsylvania avenue and gave Simon a marked $1 bill with instructions to go in and purchase some "evidence." When they found Mr. Simon again he was hitting the high spots with Miss Vioia Taylor, 226 Pearl Alley.
According to his statement he gave the money to Miss Taylor after the proprietor had refused to sell him the wet goods and asked her to get it. She claimed she got it but that Simon did not show up for the party. Castigni was dismissed.
Who Got Those Club Dues?
The Mosher Social Club will have an interesting meeting at its next session. All of its dues are gone.
Adam Bell, 127 W. Hamburg street, Grand Treasurer of this aggregation was walking along Lee street at the crossing of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad when, according to his story, two white men faced him and while one was holding him the other searched his pocket and collected $28 in dues which he was carrying.
After collecting all of the dues Bell stated the men made their escape on a B. and O. passenger train bound for Washington. Questioning on the part of the Magistrate revealed the fact that Bell has been out of employment for about a month.
A $100 House Party.

East Baltimore.
Mrs. Ida Lee, 525 Numsen street, told Judge Ranft Sunday morning that if she can just get her clothes out of the house of Thomas Napper, same address, she will shake the dust off her feet and go back to East Baltimore never to return before Gabriel blows his trumpet. According to her story she accepted Mr. Ranft's invitation to come home with vine and fig tree, that since doing this she was not even allowed to talk to the indies of the community.
To make matters worse he came home Saturday night and laid his hand over her mouth in such a mapper as to completely change its natural form and feeling.
"That's enough Judge, I'm going back to 'East Baltimore.'"

ACCUSED OF BLACKMAIL
Mrs. Helen Scott Held For Alleged Attempt To Blackmail Employer
Accused of demanding $500 as "flush mouth" money from a former employer, Mrs. Helen Scott, N. Gilmore street, was held for the Grand Jury Sunday morning under $1,000 bail.
Carl De Seay, white, Tudor Hall Apartments, caused her arrest when he is alleged to have received a letter from her demanding as the price of her silence $500 which was to be paid to him to her by 11:00 o'clock Monday morning.
In company with plain clothes detritives on Saturday night he visited Mrs. Scott's home on the pretext of making a settlement
According to the testimony of the officers at the hearing Sunday morning before Magistrate Stanford, Mrs. Scott was willing to compromise first for $300 and then for $250. She was then arrested. Mrs. Scott denied that she had written any letter to Mr. De Saey but made no further statement, evidently on the advice of counsel.
ACID STOMACH IS DANGEROUS
Sufferers From Indigestion or Stomach Trouble CUT THIS OUT
"Stomach trouble, dyspepsia, indigestion, sourness, gas, heartburn, food fermentation, etc., are caused nine times in ten by chronic acid stomach." says a well known authority.
Purifying hydrochloric acid develops in the stomach at an alarming rate. The acid irritates and inflames the delicate stomach lining and often leads to gastritis accompanied by dangerous stomach ulcers. Don't dose an acid stomach with aspirin or artificial digestion, that only give the sour, fermenting food out of the stomach into the intestines.
Instead, neutralize or sweeten your acid stomach after meals with a 'little hot water' and Bisurated Magnesium and not only will the pain vanish but your meals will digest naturally, but you will be bothering to eat. Bisurated Magnesium, to sweeten and settle an acid stomach. It soaks up the harmful excess acid much as a sponge or blotting paper might and your stomach acts and feels fine in just a few minutes. Bisurated Magnesium can be obtained from any reliable source, but it is form. It is safe, reliable, easy and pleasant to use, is not a laxative and is not at all expensive.
HEALTH TALKS
By DR. MALLETTE
Chiropractor
Does scleria make a cripple unable to get out of bed? Or is your case a mild one that merely makes moving around a misery and pain a constant companion?
Scleria is a form of neuritis or neuralgia of the sclatic nerve, caused by pressure on the sclatic nerve, inflammation, swelling and constant pain. Inso much that Chiropractors remove nerve pressure, sclatia in most cases yields rapidly.
Chiropractic spinal adjustments treat many cases of diseases of the head, throat, lungs, heart, stomach, liver, kidneys and intestinal organs.
