West African Republic And Vatican At Rome Will Exchange Diplomatic Representatives FARMER IS DRAGGED TO DEATH President King Makes This Recommendaton To Congress in Session At Monrovia DESPAIRS OF U. S. AID President Says Country Must Raise Revenue By Increasing Taxes Monrovia, Liberia, May 15.—An exchange of diplomatic representatives with a Vatican in Rome, was recommended by President C. B. D. King, to the Liberian Congress in session here. The President told the congress members that the powerful moral position held in the world by the Roman Catholic Church makes it desirable that such representatives should be exchanged. Congress was also told that the United States, both refused to okey the $2,000,000 loan and that Liberia would attempt to increase its revenue through taxation. The West African Republic has caused so much publicity through the debate of America's proposal to lend Liberia $5,000,000 that it has been necessary to establish a government bureau of information in order to answer the hundreds of inquiries. TO INCREASE TAXES President King declared his intention to increase revenue by more rigid inspection in the custom service, to the construction of motor roads into the interior, for the transcontinental railroad, interior taxes and the establishment of wireless communications along the Coast as a benefit to trade. He said that imports for nine months in 1922 amounted to $1,412,220 and that exports for the same time amounted to $733,832, with England, Germany and Holland, and very little with the United States. SLAPS AT AMERICA In urging an increased appropriation for the Liberian College, President King said: "We cannot expect, as in the past, to receive any appreciable financial support from friends in the United States for this institution. They can no longer support me, except to them for higher education among the Negroes in the States much less in Liberia. But for industrial education, yes. We must therefore make up our minds to shoulder this responsibility ourselves, if we hope to produce here on the spot, the men and women that will be capable of carrying on the Government and perpetuate our national institutions." Because of the peace and prosperity of the country, it was possible in 1822 to decrease the appropriation for the Liberian police force by 320,000. GARVEY IS FORCED TO STAND TRIAL Judge Overrules Motion To Disqualify Him in Black Star Line Case New York, May 16.—(Special) When the case of the United States against Marcus Garvey, Elie Garcia, George Tobias and Orlando M. Thompson charged with conspiracy to defraud the investing public in the promotion of the stock of the Black Star Line and other activities, was called for trial in the United States District Court yesterday before Judge Mack, a motion and relief were filed by C. W. McDougall, counsel for the defendants, to have Judge Mack declare himself disqualified to sit in the case. The affidavit alleges that Judge Mack, because of his membership and affiliation with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, should not try the case. This association, the affidavit assailant, is criminal not only to Garvey's activities, but to him personally. It contains a long printed document addressed to the Attorney General of the United States from this association, in which attacks are made against Garvey and his associates, his organization known as the Universal Negro Improvement Association, in the Improvement Star Line. This paper refers to the killing in New Orleans on January 1, 1923 of the Rev. J. W. Eason, and asserts this killing as reported in the press was done by Carveyges. Judge Mack overruled the motion.

Hurst presided WOMEN EXPERTS SELECT CITY'S LEADING CAKE BAKER Guard Moton Tuskegee, Ala., May 17.- Holding Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee institute, responsible for the ousting of the proposed white staff who was to have charge of the new $2,000,000 veterans' hospital here, numerous threats have been made against his life. In order to avoid further trouble, Tuskegee is surrounded by guards and a double watch has been placed around the home of principal Moton. So acute is the situation, that Dr. Moton does not even answer the telephone. J. A. Kinney, surgeon-in-chief of the Tuskegee hospital, and Dr. Wm. J. Thompson, head of the city hospital in Kansas City, have been mentioned for the post of surgeon-in-chief of the Veterans' Hospital. Recess Appointee M. Walter S. Cohen, Louisiana politician and insurance president, whom President Harding named as collector of the port of New Orleans, a process appointment. Cohen's nomination was rejected by the Senate last session 37 to 25. Louisiana senators made a fight against him and won out on the ground that he was personally objectionable to them. The appointment of Mr. Cohen over the Senate's objection is taken to mean that the opposition of Louisiana senators was merely on th ground that Mr., Cohen is colored, and the President won't stand for it. Funeral Halted On Edge of Grave Chicago, May 16. A. N. P.—Local cemeteries are drawing the color line. Sergeant Frank Lampton, a Civil War Veteran, who last February celebrated his 100th birthday, died here May 6th and arrangements were made to inter the body in Oakwood's cemetery, known as a "white cemetery" although thousands of colored people were buried there in days past. The funeral cortex, passed into the grounds, the bell tollled as the body of the veteran in Grand Army uniform and draped in the American flag, passed by in its expensive burial and the funeral party at the edge of the grave. The pall-bearers lifted the casket over the freshly dug cavern when suddenly a command stop; the grave diggers were ordered to remove the box and fill the hole. It seemed the authorities had not known the corpse was for colored $400 had paid for the lot. Necropsy, it seems, are permitted, only in addition near the railroad track. Attorney C. C. Adams, son-in-law of the deceased, remonstrated but was rebuked and promptly suit against the cemetery. Humiliated and chagrinned the mourners left the cemetery. The body was held at McDade's Undertaking parliars, pending the MORGAN GIVES DEGREES TO 28 Teachers In City Schools Among the Number to Receive Sheepskins On June 7th ACADEMY GRADUATES 24 Princess Anne Academy Certificates To Be Awarded To 26 Pupils Morgan College will award the Bachelor of Arts degree to 25 stu- dents on Commencement Day, June In this number are several teachers in the local public schools and four elementary school principals: George Owens, Howard Gross, William Anderson, and William McAbee, President J.

Parker Cleopatra Flinny Georgia J. Waters DR. WEST THINKS AFRO IS TRYING TO HURRY HIM Request for Information On School Affairs Brings This Statement From Superintendent SILENT ON APPOINTMENTS Head Won't Say Why Principalships Have Been Vacant Several Months Dr. Henry F. West, superintendent of public schools, thinks the Arvo AMERICAN is trying to hurry the building program in his office as it affects colored schools. "He not only thinks so; but he also made a statement to this effect to a reporter seeking information as to the delay in including in its program the new elementary school for colored children recommended by the Strayer Survey as one of the ten most needed buildings in the city. When reminded that Isaac S. Fields, president of the School Board, stated recently that the Board would soon put the new colored elementary school into the building program, Dr. West said, "I cannot make any further statement about it." "This school was numbered project 10 in the Strayer Survey," he said, "but we find that no school can be built as they were numbered. A project may be numbered 1 and the last to get under way. This is due to unavoidable obstacles, such as court proceedings and difficulties in obtaining suitable locations." When asked why it was recommended that school 79 be used as a colored elementary school after Dr. West had answered that this school be abandoned for whites, Dr. West answered, "I have nothing to say." Asked if the $1,500,000 appropriated for the new colored high school and the $200,000 used to complete the new school 112 constituted the full quota for new colored schools from the $21,000,000 school loan, Dr. West said. "That is the business of the superintendent," the Board is satisfied. We are doing our best and do not propose to let the Afro-American hurry us." From the school construction question, the reporter turned to appointments. Asked when would appointments he made to the principalship of the Division street school (vacant nearly three months) and the Colored Training School (vacant nearly four months), and if these places were being kept, why the superintendent stated that "these principalships are not being allowed to lie vacant to save money." MR. GABRET TALKS President Robert Garrett, of the Public Improvement Commission, told the Afro-American he was still opposed to the plan of remodeling the old Colored High School instead of building a new colored elementary school as recommended by the Strayer survey. It was also his view that School 79 when turned over to colored people was not designed to take the place of a new elementary school. A special meeting to consider the whole question would be held, he said, when President Field of the School Board returns from Macon, Georgia, the latter part of next week.

Scott to be available for employment in the Southern states can find jobs waiting for them here in Baltimore according to George B. McAllister, Director of the Municipal Employment Bureau. "There can be no doubt," Mr. McAllister told the AFRO-AMERICAN, "that Baltimore can absorb much labor. There is a lack of efficient labor practically every fall at local industry. Wages too have been on the increase until now they are stabilizing itself around 45 cents per hour for common labor.

TEAM RUNS OFF WHEN HIT BY ALLEGED RUM RUNNER'S CAR Supposed Rum Carrier At La Plata, Md., Then Flees Without Stopping To Render Aid CORNERS JURY GIVES VERDICT OF MURDER Citizens Indignant When Suspect Arrested Is Freed Without Bail Lg Plato, Md. (Special) May 17.—Richard Frederick, one of the best known farmers in this section, is dead and the supposed murderer has been released without bail. Frederick was driving a two-horse team homeward from this place when his wagon was run into and wrecked by an automobile coming in the opposite direction. The accident caused the horses to run away, and the wagon is not known, but it is believed that he was caught in the wheels of the wagon and dragged some distance along the road to the place where his badly crushed body was found. The driver of the car failed to stop to render any assistance so far as could be learned, but many persons who were in that neighborhood testified that a white man in an automobile was probably driver of the driver's jury hastily emperilled, rendered a verdict of "death at the hands of a person unknown to the jury." M. Fax, white, alleged to be a transporter of corn whiskey and a bootlegger, was arrested charged with the crime and brought before Justice Johnson. The alleged bootlegger secured the best attorney in the case without hound. The host citizens, white and colored, are indignant over Justice Johnson's decision and it is likely that Fax and others implicated with him may be arrested.

Then tears brings memories, of my mother, kind and true. Don't cry dear, we will meet again, No one knows my longing. But few have seen me weep, I shed my tears from an aching heart. While others are fast asleep. I often sit and think of you, When I am all alone. For memory is the only thing, That grief can call its own. A wife dear, a mother kind. Husband has gone and us all behind. With dear sweet memories in our minds. For all of us she did her best. And God took her home to rest. The parting was painful, but He knows best.

ACIDS IN STOMACH / CAUSE INDIGESTION Create Gas, Sourness and Pain How to Treat Medical authorities state that nearly nine-tenths of the cases of stomach trouble, indigestion, sourness, burning, gas, bloating, nausea, etc. are due to an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach and not us some believe to a lack of digestive juices, to induce stomach litter, to induce stomach irritation, to induce dehydrated and food sours, causing the disagreeable symptoms which every stomach sufferer knows so well. Artificial digestents are not needed in such cases and may do real harm. Try buying aside all digestive aids and instead get from any druggist a few ounces of Bisurated Magnesia to take a water right after eating. This sweetens the stomach, prevents the formation of excess acid and there is no sourness, gas or pain. Bisurated Magnesia (in powder or tablet form—never liquid or milk) is harmless to the stomach, inexpensive to take and is the most useful digestent for which stomach purposes. It is used by thousands of people who enjoy their meals with no more fear of indigestion.

THE AFRO-AMERICAN WEEKLY SERMONETTE By Dr. H. T. S. Johnson THE CASTING OUT OF FEAR Luke 12:32: "Dismiss your fears, little fock: Your Father finds a pleasure in Giving You The Kingdom." If I were asked to name one exception which every man feels I would be acquainted with fear, no matter who you are. Christian or heathen, white or black, you are afraid of something. It is so profound that the deliverer the message from which we quote today. For the benefit of his hearers and for the benefit of all mankind Jesus said: "Dismiss your fears, little fock: Your Father finds a pleasure in giving you the Kingdom." --- 1. Dismiss your fears of sickness. The average man is in daily fear of sickness. Many people bring on disease, using all kinds of medicines, even disease. Men have become multi-millionaires as manufacturers of patent nostrums, because the public feared sickness. Many people died and, in many cases, to the grave. Most people who are sick are sick mentally. If men generally would "dismiss their fears" of sickness, the human family would be as healthy as brute families. The average man's health suggestions which it recommends dismiss the fear of disease. ```markdown ``` II. "Dismiss your fears" of death. Some people get very little joy out of life because of the fear of death. Constantly they are thinking of death as a "monster" that the joy out of life for too many people. "Dismiss your fears" of death by seeing death as something other than "the black camel which kneels at every man's gate," "the cap of dark skin," "Think it rather as the gate to endless joy," "the friend who relieves us of all care, sorrow, sickness, pain and death," the guide who leads to a home blessed with so many advantages that that man never boards nor hath it entered into the heart of man the things which God hath in store for them that love him." Become reconciled with God, continue that relation, and there will be no need to fear --- III. "Dismiss you fears" of poverty. O. how we dread being poor. So great is our fear of poverty that we focalize thought and unpleasantness upon wealth. Thus one may succeed in getting of things but he often sacrifices that which is far better. The average person cannot get wealth and keep an abiding interest in things that are not worth wealth gets him. The fear of poverty makes many men resort to corrupt practices which cost them character, the association of good people helps exclude the children and in heaven. The price is too great. Better far to take comfort in the fact that the God who feeds the birds of the air and closes the jillies of the air helps the children of Solomon surely care for His human men for whose redemption He has "only hegotson son." "Dismiss your fears" of the less of others. This fear makes individual strife and race con- trol. It has its ground in envy, ende the first murderer and been the cause of multinational murders ever since. The between capital and labor, ever-present conflict between and race, would not exist ex- for the fear men have of the of others. The penance for all these ties in the practice of broth- dship. Brotherhood cannot be needed without inter-racial coition. In proportion as this will minimize the will will cause. Frequent assu- sion will ripen into love and casteth out fear." race Elects Trustees Dr. Peziava O'Connell, of Morgan College preached an interesting sermon at Grace Presbyterian Church Sunday, President of the offering event, with $14.40. There have been no special evangelistic services held, but the additions have been constant. The congregation's trustees were elected at a recent congregational meeting: Messrs Thos. B. Pendleton, D.

Mrs. Annie Hazleton Lee, Directress, Mr. Edward Peck, Organist THE ASSOCIATED FRIEN Will hold 4 At the Convent, Chase Sunday, June 10, 19 FORA Blasting At the Eternal "Rock Of Arms" To the Editor. I have been reading with profound interest the answers of various ministers of the country in reference to the article, "Things Nobody Believes," written by Dean Brennan. Dean says, and was not writing to the ministers but for the benefit of the general public. It is the ministers' business, however, to off set such statements when uttered by men to discredit the Word of God. I have also read his answer to the preachers in the article, "Things Nobody Believes" say the Dean is still off the track. Ever since the founding of the Christian religion by Jesus Christ, men have been blasting at the earth with the Word of God lives on to vindicate its righteous claims. This is an age of apostasy, of skepticism and doubt. Some of the most learned and fundamental teachings of the Christian religion, but to no avail. One pious writer has well said, "A man blasting at the Eternal 'Rock of Aeses' may be compared to a brawl trying to lift the rock of Glirathar." Every time a skeptic, infidel, or scoffer attempts to blast the Eternal 'Rock of Aeses' he has awakened to the truth that few from the rock but never moves the rock. REV.

While the dialogue is the same that he used in previous visits, he handled it in his original breedy manner that gets the laughs as though it were new.

Hutgins changes to his dazzling purple suit, purple hat and glittering bananas, and offered his featured dancing specially as presented with the burlesque show and "brought down the house" getting two encerces and in a half dozen bows.

Can Be Hardened Biblical Mothers Stayed at Home Sharon's Pastor in Mothers' Day Sermon Urges Modern Mother to Do Likewise "The mothers of two of the greatest characters in the Bible declared that they would stay at home and care for their infants while the fathers went up to the temple to worship." The thing he uses to note, declare in a special Mother's Day sermon at Sharon Baptist Church, is that they stayed at home. The most important institution and the oldest, the pastor said, is the home and woman's biggest job was to preside over it in order to properly rear the children. Some people declare that they cannot bring up children correctly because they live in certain neighborhoods. The mothers make the home and the neighborhood, and that the worst homes may be on the best streets. No woman, said the Rev. Mr. Elliott can bring up children properly, if she has to go out to work with her husband. Men should either earn enough to support the family and keep the mother in the home, or cut out the family, he said. Rev. Mr. Elliott also paid his respects to the type of woman who is usually seen hanging out of the front windows, while the children and the home are allowed to go dirty.

Avenue MCGUINN SAYS HE'S PRACTICI'G LAW NOW "Brains" of Former Council Will Be Missed In New Administration "I am practicing law now" City Councilman Warner T. McGuinn, of the 14th Ward told the AFRO-AMERICAN this week. A representative of the Afro-found Mr. McGuinn at his office and asked him to comment upon the Democratic landslide which swept Mayor Foenning out of office, carried with him both colored councilmen. PETER H. "I have been at the courts all day, and my office is full of people now," said Mr. Browne, a gentle reminder that the AFC man should go away and leave a busy man in peace. "What caused the defeat or our councilmen?" he was asked. Enough People Do Not Vote "In the first place" said Mr. McGullin "enough people did not vote for us" he added with a twinkle, "white people I mean. They did not support Mr. Fitzgerald and me like he did. He did Fitzgerald. Another thing, he did not study out is the defection in the colored vote caused by the colored Democratic "Young Turks." With that Mr. McQuinn was then and refused to talk further. His passing from the City Council marks the loss of perhaps the brains man there. Certainly there is none there who is his superior. His amusement did not only got the City Council out of a jam, but it saved the white merchants of the city a cool million dollars. Will soon be 60 years old Mr. McGuinn is a native of Richmond and will celebrate his 60th birthday on November 22nd. He studied at Howard a and Lincoln but got his law training at Yale, where he took first prize of $100 for the best written oration. He started to practice law in Kansas edited a newspaper and was married to a Richmond girl, Miss Anna L. Wallace. He came to Baltimore nearly 33 years ago and entered the law as a partner of the late Harry S. Cummings. Since 1896 he has been practicing alone. He has been delegate to the population National Convention and always the brains of the State and local machine, but the only political position he ever held was secretary of the Baltimore Liquor License Board, from 1896 to 1900. Friends urged him to seek a position as assistant U. S. District Attorney, but he would not. It has also been suggested to the Harding administration that if any political plums come to Maryland, McGuinn should stand first, but nothing has materialized. As McGuinn is what is known as an independent Republican thinker who always regular in his vote and support. During his campaign speeches, he frankly admitted that Breening had not made good with the colored Republican voters, but nevertheless he urged colored Republicans to stay in the ranks and fight. It is believed that his career opening led him more than twice the number of votes he needed to win. As an orator, McGuinn is the peer of the city's best. No political clap-trap characterizes his addresses, nor the wealth of hoary antecedent which makes it evident that some political orators should be in vaudeville, not in the issues of the campaign and discusses them with clearness and simplicity, which marks the real stateman.

She was addressing a group of local workers in the Women's Christian Temperance Union at the residence of her parents, Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Daniel G. Hill, 1132 W. Lexington street. The great majority of whites live there under similar conditions, she said. Mrs. Whyte, who is the national field secretary for the colored work of the W. C. T. U., has just returned from a four-month speaking tour, which embraced Florida, Georgia, Alabama and Georgia. The organization also said the east coast of Florida, which she visited during the tourist season, was one of the wettest spots in the country, hooze flowing in from the West Indies. She saw many colored people migrating North, looking for better wages and good education facilities for the young. Ms. Whyte said, "hardly realize the squidial conditions under which the colored people live in the turpentine sections and humber camps in the interior of Florida and Georgia. One room cabins, many of which were built in slavery times, housing parents and many times as a slave. "The sanitary conditions are awful and the food consists of rice, dried peas, fat pork and jowl. This is cooked in an open fireplace in a utensil known as a charcoal pan. Malaria and fever abound and the mosquitoes are awful. Ignorance aounds the school term only lasting two or three months a year and there is no compulsory attendance even for that short a term. The white owners of the lumber camps and turpentine farms do not care for the welfare of their colored employees. The great majority of the colored people I meet seem to be contented with their mode of living, being ignorant and never having learned to live better. I met colored men stronger than many husky fellows there who proudly boasted that they were paid three dollars a month and good conditions. The conditions under which many of the whites live in the interior are exactly similar." Speaking of the migration Northward, Mrs. Whyte said: "I met hundreds at various places boarding Jim Crow cars for the North. What am I going to do to be larger than the hundreds of clothing. Many said they were bound for no particular place in the North, but they were looking for higher wages and good schools for their children. I found a few Florida and Georgia for the North, and as a rule, when they once got away they never come back." Mrs. Whyte said conditions were decidedly better in the cities and in Tennessee and Kentucky. She only spent five days in Alabama. She visited many one-room cabins in the interior of Florida and Georgia, growing pumps and equipment, first-hand information. The people there make their own moonshine out of cornmeal, potash, decayed fruits and vegetables. This, she said weakens them physically and morally. She also called attention to the fact that the property owning class was growing in the cities, that many fine homes and plantations owned by the race and that in Florida many colored people owned fine orange groves.

E. Weller is already mending his political fences and that at least fifteen of the thirty-two members of the Republican City Committee are lined up with him. As a Governor, State Controller and nominee for the State Legislature, he chosen in Senate, as well as members of the Republican State Central Committee selected, it is said that the Senator will seek to control these. With the retirement of Mayor Browning and Roland Marchant from public office next Wednesday, some people are protesting the soaking of the Lowndes-Browning-Jackson-Marchant past. Merchant and the Senator are said to be political enemies and the former is regarded as being part of the milestone that hung around Browning's neck, colored voters regarding him as being a "fly-white." Walter S. Emerson, Republican City Committeeman for the 14th Ward, was appointed to a position of Honor of Collector of Internal Revenue a week ago. The appointment is credited to Weller's influence. It is generally believed that City Councilman W. McGuinn will cast his lot with the Senator.

He has owned his home for the last 14 years. Aside from his general practice Dr. Brown is Superintendent of Provident Hospital and is the head of a family consisting of a wife and four children.

PREPARING FOR FALL Preparations Being Made To Register Voters and Make Split Permanent The United Colored Democracy of Maryland is the name of the new political organization into which the City-Wide Club has been merged. Birth was given the lusty infant following a celebration of victory in the recent election, speechmaking and luncheon at the home of Truly Hatehett, 2026 Druid Hill avenue Monday night. Plans were proposed to organize clubs in all the city wards where there is sufficiently large colored population and where these wards are nearly 50 registered Dems in all young men were requested as members of the 17th Dewey Democratic Club located at 155 Pennsylvania avenue, and directed largely by Arthur Bragg, secretary, William Gray, treasurer, Executive Committee, Howard Jayne 11th Ward, Dr. John C Robinson, 7th Ward, Rey, X. J. Edwards, 7th Ward, Dr. Benjamin Brown, 5th Ward, J. Steward 17th Ward, Residents of ward will be urged to assist the organization in naming the ward leaders. Speakers included Jacob Nicholson, Rev. W. W. Allen, Rev. M. Bunду, Henry F. Arnold and others. Membership in the United Colored Democracy was said to be open to all. Won't Follow Republicans Pleading by the mistakes of the Republican City organization, where there is no closely knit city-wide organization, and where every ward has its separate leaders, Democrats plan to make the United Colored Democracy function then its officers, and thru them and the executive committee deal directly with the Democratic organization heads and the new Mayor. Eyes on Fall Campaign Eyes of the organization are said to have directed already towards the Gubernatorial election in the fall when it is said Attorney General Armstrong will lead the Republicans and Governor Ritchie will again be the Democratic standard bearer. Governor Ritchie is already popping in some quarters because of his position in the position of many counties public and his action in denying the 5th Regiment Armory to the Ku Klux, but opening it to the colored public school children. Support of the Governor in the fall, it is declared may bring about other changes in the State school system and especially with regard to Bowie Normal School.

"Now, put a piece of silver in your hands," said the fortune-teller, "two enemies," she said, "one with gray eyes, one with blue eyes. They are after you, and if you don't do something you will have bad luck." Sure enough! Smith's luck commenced to be laid from that moment, for she then told him to take a bill out of his pocket-book and hold it so, she could change his luck. He took the bill out and while his pocket-book was still in his hand she reasoned into it and took hold of his big roll. "Now," she said, "what would you rather have, your money or your life?" He decided on choosing his life, but called on the police to help get his money. At the Northwestern Police Station Tuesday morning the fortune-teller admitted "holding and blowing on the money for luck," but accused Mr. Smith of making improper proposals to her.

Ditch Digger Narrowly Escapes Being Buried Alive 10 BURIED AN HOUR BY CAVE-IN WORKER SMILES OVER RESCUE Fellow-Workers, Fire Department and Physician Dig Out Man Caught In Ditch DRUGS ARE USED Physician Eases Pain With Hyperdermic Until He Is Freed Washington, May 17—Prompt action by his fellow-workman and members of the District fire department saved the life this week Kenneth Davis, 39 years old, 436 M street, northwest, who for almost an hour was buried in dirt up to his elbow as the result of a cave-in of a water main evacuation at 16th and Wester streets. He is now in emergency hospital suffering from shock. Davis was at the bottom of a trench preparing for the laying of a water main in connection with new homes under construction at that point, when Charles Desper, a fellow-workman, asked for a cigarette. Desper said he saw the left bank of the hole slip. He yelled to Davis that the side was caving in, but Davis saw it a moment too late. He made a little effort to get out just as he was buried under a mass of earth. Several workmen jumped to the trench and bearded the buried man grinning as they dug. In a few seconds they succeeded in getting the dirt from around Davis' face, enabling the imprisoned man to breathe. FIREMEN ARE CALLED In the meantime George J. Thames, white, foreman of the laborers, who lives at 1254 $^{4/2}$ street, telecommunication Emergency hospital that a man was buried in the fire alarm room, one also turned in the fire alarm box at 16th and Webster streets. The firemen received the alarm at 10:31 o'clock, and No. 6 truck, engine companies 22, 24, 11 and Fourth Battle Command Chief Schroem, who was in the school while after Chief Engineer George Watson arrived. The firemen jumped into the trench and dug rapidly, encouraging Davis at the same time, who was praising and cutting for speed. With the arrival of Emergency Hospital ambulance on the heels of the fireman, Dr. M. P. Russell, white, a woman physician, climbed down into the trench and gave Davis a hypodermic in the face, for a while until his wails made it clear that he needed Dr. Russell again to inject the needle, which she did, this time in the arm, which the firemen leet time had released. FINALLY EXTRACTED Chief Schroon, at the top of the trench, actively directed work of the firemen, who worked in shifts of three at a time. The hole was so narrow that as the firemen closest to the buried man lifted up a shovel full of dirt, it was passed in relays to the top. Chief Watson also was on his hands and knees a part of the time watching the work of his men. At 11:25 the continuous digging released the other arm of the man and he began to take on the job he beided with both hands in getting the dirt from around him. Fifteen hours after the man was free up to his waist and a rope was lowered, after which he was wad slowly free. Safely landed on the side of the trench he sat there for a moment, smiled, and felt himself all over, assuring himself that nothing was broken. Chief Schrom ordered him taken to the hospital, where an examination showed he was suffering from shock. CAMBRIDGE STRAIT-TEX Try This Free ton, D. SYRACUSE, N. Y. Syracuse, N.

Writer Tells Why People Don't Patronize Neigborhood Drug Stores A Once Popular Druggist In Northwestern Section Sold Him A Bottle of Sweetened Water In order to find out just how many unsuperpulsions druggists were operating in Baltimore, a representative was sent out to investigate. He visited over three hundred stores. In some he would purchase cigars and ask about the herbs of Herbs of Life, and in others he would simply get a representative customer inquiring as to whether he would simply get a representative customer inquiring as to whether he would could recommend Herbs of Life for his apparent trouble. In most all cases the druggists recommended Herbs of Life very highly and told him that it was positively the very best they had in their respective stores. The writer claims that he never heard so much praise for one medicine in his life, as for Herbs of Life Double Strength. In one drug store in the Northwestern section he asked for a bottle of Double Strength Herbs of Life, and was told to try a bottle of the medicine made by the druggist himself (which gives the druggist about twice as much profit). The writer asked for a bottle of the substitute offered to him more good than a barrel of the druggist's private bottle to do him more good than a barrel of Herbs of Life. The writer purchased his Herbs of Life and sent a confederate in to ask for another bottle of Herbs of Life, and the druggist put up the same argument, and the confederate brought along his substitute. Upon analysis, it was found that the druggist's private formula was nothing other than a bottle of sweetened water. This answers the question, why do people refuse to patronize their NEIGHBORHOOD DRUGGISTS. At the particular store in question, attention was directed to the substituting of simple preparations like Bayers Aspirin and Castorin. Such a store cannot do a business very long, for the entire neighborhood will get wise to the dishonest methods and will walk 10 miles to get satisfied. As for Herbs of Life, the people know just what it is and just what it will do and know that if they cannot get supplied from their local drug store, the Baltimore Branch of the Herbs of Life Indian Medicine Company is located at 1444 Pennsylvania avenue, Baltimore, Md.

I He added as Gaston started on "Give him the fifteen hun "You leave it to me." "So, you don't believe me about the girl," said Gaston, gazing absently meanwhile at the dim outlines of the houses. "The Nigger lives at the Stewarts', doesn't he?" "Yes, the house on the left nearest the lamp-post. Gaston drew up on the other side of the street. "He's in there now," said Philip. Gaston continued, as he dismounted and closed the door of the car: "As I was saying about the girl, I was at the Gordons' and Betty wanted a hair-dresser to fix her up in a hurry, so she begged me to call at the beauty parlor and bring her up." "Oh," exclaimed Philip. "Get in touch with her again and let me meet her. I might have better luck." He added as Gaston started off: "Give him the fifteen hundred, if necessary." "You leave it to me." "The last two weeks had been stretched ones for John. He had written Lucille a stinging letter that same night on which he had seen her in the car with Leigh. Crazed with jealousy he had torn her picture into shreds and destroyed all of her letters. But in vain. Try as he would he could not tear her memory from his heart. On one point, however, he was, inexorable—his offense and potential that spurred him on he would have left Nortonville at once even though it meant the forfeiture of his scholarship. He was through with women forever." Hereafter he would devote his life entirely to his mother. At Gaston Leigh's he went to the door half fearing, half hoping that it was Lucille who in despair had come to seek his pardon. Rapidly he ran over in his mind what he was going to be adored for. He was to be adored that he was one Negro who would not tolerate such conduct on the part of a woman of his race. When he threw the door open haughtily and saw the masculine figure looming against the darkness he experienced a shiver of disappointment. He made the light, when he recognized Leigh he boiled with rage. He felt like springing at his throat, but calming himself with great flort he waited for him to speak. "Walton," he began, nervously. "I've come to see you on a delicate mission—a friend of mine—" Had Lacile sent him to explain? John could contain himself so long as he didn't he said advancing threateningly. "You're a dirty skunk. You know you'd never dream of marrying her. Not a word! Not a word! I'm through with her." Leigh gazed at him stupefied. "With her? What're you talking about anyway?" Firmly convinced that the other had come to gloss over his conting with Lucille he was unable to contain his anger and was unable to contain his anger and Leigh's thrust and began holding him. Leigh shook himself free. "What the devil is the matter with you. Walton? Are you crazy?" "Do you think you can come between me and my girl and get way like that?" "Your girl exclaimed Leigh in dignantly. "I don't—" "Seeing that there was a misunderstanding somewhere the latter said cooly:" "Come on. Walton, let's hear what's on your chest, spit it out." "I saw you out with the girl I'm going to marry last Thursday around six o'clock." "Oh that's what you're so sorry about! Ha! Ha! That's a good one so that's your girl? You poor fish." "Get out! Get out! yelled John, 'or I will throw you out!'" Gaston remembered his errand. He was litching to keep the other in doubt, but decided he would have to explain. He said in a matter of fact tone: "I was taking her over to one of her customers, who begged me to fetch her, you poor sim." "You're lying" flashed John, an grily. "Well, go ask at the Gordon Number 9 Sneakair Road. That's where I took her." As the apparent truth sank home a wave of remorse swept across a room, unjustly but he had been." The voice "I the poor girl!" he murmured, seizing his hat and coat he started for the door. "Just a minic, Walton," detined Leigh, "I came to see you on another little matter when you lost your head." Beg pardon, said John, beaming grace, "sit down." "I know how it is, Walton," began the other appearing "I've a girl myself. I'll tell you this much. She's true blue, I tried to be friendly with her but she wouldn't even look at me. She's a splendid girl and pretty as a picture, too. You're lucky. "I'll just sit on unnoticed." "What I came to see you about is this. You are one of the oligibles for the Stanton Prize, aren't you?" "I think so." "And you stand to win as you have the highest average?" "That's no proof. I'll win though I'm trying third." "Now," continued Leigh, "for a certain reason—well, I'll be frank with you and tell you—certain fellows in my frat have picked, someone else to win and we don't want to lose. They have asked to call you, and but the matter up in "Race," prejudice," exclaimed John to himself, "they don't want to take the chance of a Negro."

"I'll have something to tell Lucille," thought John remaining silent. "We'll give you five hundred," continued Leigh, brazenly. "I'll have the cash here to-morrow morning as soon as the bank opens." "Who are the gentlemen I'm being asked to oblige?" parried John. "That I can't tell you. In handing over the money I must stipulate that you keep the matter秘密, and that you leave Nortonville not later than the evening before the examination, and not return until midnight the next day." "How many fellows do you represent?" "About twenty or thirty." "Well," said John, dryly, putting on his coat, "tender them my compliments and say that I suggest they invest their five hundred in hay. They need it." He started to leave. "I'll make it a thousand, Walton." "Pardon me, I must go." "I'll give you the full fifteen hundred plus fifty for the medal. That's a generous offer." One thousand five hundred and fifty dollars! John hesitated. That was more money than he ever dreamed of owning. What couldn't he take? "Take it," commanded a voice, "you can marry Lucille right away. Anything can happen to prevent your winning. You may be sick the day of the examination." "What," defanded another voice sternly "are you going to lay down? There's something bigger than mere noopy involved in this project." No you simply mustn't do this. You must go in and win." Leigh saw his hesitation and added: "I'll have the cash for you to-morrow at botany time." "No," stammered John. Leigh continued to press his argument with John holding out. "Think it over and let me know to-morrow." Leigh said as he left. "What luck," demanded Philip, eagerly, when Leigh returned. "had to offer him the fifteen-fifty." "So he took it, eh?" So he took it, it. "He as good as took it. He's to me tomorrow. Have no fear. Niggers have no high ideals of the moral values of things. I know them too well. You can depend upon him to fall when I show him the kale to-morrow." John tore out to find Lucille, his brain a mass of whirling emotions. He ran all the way to the town and fifty dollars! John hesitated. That store. "She's not here!" said a voice. "Is she at the Montgomerys?" "Maybe. She left an hour ago." He headed for the Montgomerys. He intended making the humbleest apology one could ever make. How unjust how cruel he had been! Never, never again would he doubt her. Why had he been so hasty, he childed himself. He arrived at the Montgomerys and bounded up the steps. "Is she—is Lucille in?" he asked, broadly exasperated. "Well, in Walton, where have you been? What have you been doing to Lucille?" asked Mrs Montgomery in concern. "Did she say anything?" he demanded anxiously, as he entered and saw a feminine figure quickly disappear into a room. "No, but I know something's wrong. What is there between you? Lucille, Mr. Walton's here. Take a seat. I'll see her. I am bound to hear of feminine voices within. After a wait of several minutes—minutes that seemed eternities—Mrs. Montgomery emerged alope: "She begs to be excused. She says she isn't feeling well." said Mrs. Montgomery. "Tell her it's very important. I won't detain her a minute," pleaded John. Mrs. Montgomery went in and returned. "It's no use, Mr. Walton. She seems to have for you gown and proper. You'd bet to go now and see her again tomorrow." Torn with remorse and the fear that he had lost her forever, he stumbled like a wounded man to the drug store. Here he procured paper and penned; her a piteous apology. When John awoke the next morning the world seemed much brighter. After his confession and explanation of the night, before he felt sure that a succile would accept him, he found that before him was his hirsute encounter with Leigh. He felt sure that the latter would approach him again. THE AFRO-AMERICAN SOUTH'S BIGGEST AND BEST WEEKLY BALTIMORE, MAY 18, 1923 What should he say to him? He debated the matter with himself as he swept off the porch of the Bruces. Prof. Bruce came out for the morning paper: "Well, Walton," he said, "there's quite some talk about you and the Stanton Prize." "Yes, the race between you and Mr. Breckenridge is the talk of the town," added Mrs. Bruce, through the slightly opened screen door. "You and he are from the same place, aren't you?" "Yes," John replied. When Guston Leigh approached him after classes, John promptly refused the offer. Philip had been anxiously hovering in the distance. "What did he say?" he asked, as Leigh came up. He talked like a white man. Said that he felt there was some higher principle involved, or some such rot," said Leigh, disgustedly. "Yes, and you felt so cocksure about it?" accused Philip. "Oh; he's only holding out for higher money." "That's it," snapped Philip, "he's holding out for more money. You made a mess of it with your bidding proposition. If you had done as I said and offered him the full value of the prize plus a few hundreds for the prestige and then showed him how easy it would be, I didn't about any further grind, I bet he'd have agreed. You have made a mess of it, and after that affair last night I am all in today." "No, Gaston, you've made a mess of it. I'm going to see him myself. I don't care so much now whether I win the prize or not, so long as he doesn't." Back at home John inquired eagerly if a letter or telephone call had come for him. Neither had he called up Laelie at the beauty parlor and after much pleading and persuasion she gave a reluctant half-promise to meet him later in the week. He pleaded that he wanted indispensable advice. Two nights later she met him, and as they walked along the leafy avenue by moonlight he pleaded for forgiveness.

I shall never doubt you again, dearest." She was silent. "One thing the separation has brought to me more clearly than ever is how much I love you, how impossible it is for me to get along without you. I have suffered the tortures of the damned, Lucille, who deserved it!" she said coldly. "It was my great love for you that made me do it. Won't you forgive me, dearest?" "I cannot, after such a letter. What was if you said you had to tell me?" "It was this first of all," he answered, and then he went to tell her of the attempt to buy him off with men in the South—sometimes "The dirty hounds!" she said. "Do you think a Negro has no honor—that we do not know how to put duty above money, that we have not as like sensibilities as they" not as like the men who squawed his hand in token of forgiveness. Later she added: "John, I missed you so." "I am so happy to be with you again, dearest," he said tenderly. "You are going to win, aren't you, John?" "I am going to win for you, Lucile." CHAPTER XV John devoted himself to his studies more earnestly than ever. A few nights later he heard a knock at his door and on opening it saw Philip Breckenridge. Much surprised, he invited him in. "Grinding away, I see." said Philip, unaccented, glancing at the book-strewn table. "If fault, I see." John, cheerly. "How are the folks at home-old Peter and your mother?" "Oh, fine." John, said Philip, nervously peeling off his gloves, "I want to ask you a great favor." John instinctively felt the erard. It flashed through his mind that Gaston Leigh had inadvertently spoken of "a friend." John replied: "If I can help you, I will." "The Stanton prize," stammered John, "Father, mother and the girl I'm marry are expecting me to win." He hesitated a moment and pulled out a check book: "I'll give you two thousand dollars to be absent the day of the examination." He said. "I have parents and a sweet-heart, too," replied John steadily. TICE BERT WILLIAMS, the People's with Felix E.

I'll make it two thousand five hundred. That's a thousand more than you'd get if you won the prize. You need the money. I need the glory." John thought ruefully of the 85 cents in his pocket—his sone wealth. "I can't, Phil. I'm sorry," he mumbled. Philp wrote in his checkbook, and tearing off the bit of paper, said: "See, I've made it three thousand." "No, no," gasped John, desperately. "Perhaps you want more," continued Philip, tearing up the check and preparing to write the mother. "Four thousand, then. Remember, you might not win the prize." Four thousand dollars! Four thousand dollars! John felt his head swim. "N-no," he stammered, with as- sumed defiance. "Five thousand!" said Philip grimly. "I shan't go any higher. You'd be a d—d food not to take it. Think of the chances you're taking." John began to reason desperately. Five thousand dollars! With that he could buy a home, marry Lucille, and continue his studies free from all interruption. No more sweeping sidewalks or handling furnace. On the other hand what? Poverty and the chances of winning, "You might lose, anyhow," said the voice, "and your race would be no better off. Besides, what does the race care about you. It would boost about you while and soon forget there are other chances to win other prizes next year. Take this and you'll be in a better position to win them." Cured Her Rheumatism "No," said the other voice; "there's the principle of the thing. You'll be less than a man if you lay down. No matter whether the member of your race appreciate it or not, you must be incorruptible. Besides, you'll have to lie about it. You'll have to lie to Lucille, to your mother, to your classmates. You're the only Negro in your class and you must hold up the standard of your people. You'll never be able to respect yourself if you sell out." And so the battle raged within him, now winning on this side, now on that. "Come on, what's your answer," said Philip, holding out the check for five thousand dollars. ONES James H. Dennis 215 ST.

It is said that this discovery should add many happy and prosperous years to the lives of people throughout the length and breadth of the country quietly and lengthily, softened vigor, grace and beauty, to both men and women lost by neglect or abuse. Scientists have agreed for many years that the secret of health, strength and vigor lies in the internal glands and if these glands are stimulated and kept in normal activity, man might live forever, and ailments such as tired, worn out feeling, weakness, nervous debility, sallow complexion, loss of weight, poor memory, scarcity neck, restlessness at night, pains in back and side, headache, munchably, despondency, etc., should quickly disappear. The difficulty encountered by the medical world has been to find the right invigorator for the glands. Thousands of dollars Knowing from terrible experience the suffering caused by rhombism, Mrs. J. E. Hurst, who lived at 508 E. O'Fallon, Clohannon, IL, is so thankful at having cared for her mutilated muxions to tell all other sisters just how to get rid of their torture by a simple way at home.

TheIVATE street tooth tinker studs beautifully. And for the first car innings the plate have been situated opposite in so far as visiting the Royals was concerned. It must be admitted here that Docs was somewhat handmapped by the use of a regular catcher, Logan using Koop place behind the plate. In the atemporal inning the focus things apparently more care are made for the hitting Mr. Rector for six and five runs, under which ascussion the over-confident Mr. Rector from the hill giving way to Mr. Starke a southpaw. Brooklyn Takes Lead The Sox rooters unburdened their seasons of the rent up emotion and then set back to see Doe Sykes on the kabsaline container over the churchill chan. But follows a joke, which I will briefly unfold to the. It was in the fifth innings. Stearman who was receiving for Logan's lot off with a drive to lift that cleared the fence for the ground. Doe was apparently a bit shaken up by the blow and tailed to locate the place on flubbard. Hubbard a season later started to run away with it and not met in third when Logan's throw to nab him at the keystone so relled to centerfield. After Wassener had hit at three that were not where he thought they were, Loggers shunned one turn of sorts of Hubbard scoring; Loggers scored a moment later when Logan let the ball get away from him. Starke farned, Scott walked and Flaholt sholed to Wilson returning the side. In the sixth the visitors made more as the result of four hits and errors by Poles C Smith and Logan both sides scored two and the Royals scored one in the eighth and ninth banking the Sox in these two frames. The Brooklynites played an errorless game. The curtain tilt will long be remembered by those who remained the first out. Mahoney was sent to the bill with Logan again beckoning to oppose the famous Starke beams Williams. Logan scored the Royals battery, scored a runs by solid hitting. The Sox had only a 3 due to timely snacks by Miller and a homer by Wilson that rolled under the fence. Miller Shows Generalship The score now stood five eight. Scores of fam had long since left the park but those who remained saw how hovering in the distance and began to whoop to the locals before. Mr. blinking the visitors in the mouth, the locals made a determined effort to come through. Captain Miller began a series of maneuvers that eventually proved a triumph for him. He began by sending in Britain to bat for Logan. Britain grounded and apprehended, but bowed, but well called he was. Miller singled and then sent Mitchell the diminutive southpaw hurler who was on the first-base coaching line, to bat for Poles. Mitchell justified the trust his captain reposed in him by hitting the first pitched ball over, on top or between the left shoulder for the circuit. Nobody seemed to know what became of the ball, except that it disappeared. Mahoney followed with a single and scored on Raggs' three-base dout to center. The side was retired without further scoring but the teams were now tied 8 all. Mahoney who had been getting tighter and tighter during the latter innings battled the heavy Brooklyn stickers in their half of the tenth. And then— Listen, in their half of the extra frame, W. Smith single and was forced by Britton. Miller singled and Britton went to third. Mitchell followed with a long fly to left Britton dashing for the plate after the catch and was, on his way to the dressing room, when the ball got to the plate, turning an apparently sure defeat into one of the most hair-raising victories the Sox has ever staged. Besides the homers the other features of the game were a one-handed grab of Hubbard's drive to the fence by "Lefty" Smith, the puffing of Fiall visiting centerfielder in the fourth inning of the nightcap, and the then dashed safety to the plate a moment later while Mahoney hold the ball, a double play, between Cate Wagoner and Douglass and the batting of Miller Wilson and Wagoner.

Backed by brilliant fielding, in which three double plays featured, Hooks Mitchell held the Brooklyn Royals to six hits Monday, which won the final game of the series for the Black Sox. 5-2. Mitchell's Monday's game gave the Sox the series two out of three. "String Bean" Williams charted under the defeat which he suffered at the hands of the Sox in the curtain tilt Sunday, essayed to the "tire man" stunt, but was hammered from the mound in the second game. The lions had marked up one in the first and in the second they found Mr. Bean's assortment to their liking and pounded him for four more markers. Starke, the south-paw, who relieved Rector in the first game, Sunday, was then the Sox, holding bill and ball, and the Sox, holding runners unless and to two hits during the next seven innings. Hooks was in brilliant form and blanked the Brooklynites for the first six innings, but let up in the seventh, allowing two singles and a double, which netted the Royals their only two tallies. Fast fielding featured the Sox, outshining the Royals by pulling three snappy double plays, while the latter made only one. Each team was guilty of only one "bout."

BALTIMORE FIGHTER HUMBLES FLOWERS The Associated Negro Press Springfield, Ohio, May 17.—It took Kid Norfolk, of New York, Negro light-heavy-weight champion, just two minutes and fifty seconds after the first bell sounded to dispose of Tiger Flowers, the Georgia tornado, a solar plexus doubled Flowers up and he sank to the mat. He was still stretched out when Matt Hinkel, of Cleveland, Ohio, referee, finished the count of 10. The bout was scheduled to go 12 rounds to a decision, with the foregoing title as the stake. Flowers tried to keep Norfolk at arms length, but the Kid kept horing in and endeavoring to get at the Tiger's mid-section. Flowers jabbed the kid freely with rights and lefts but Norfolk shook them off and kept stepping in for more. Norfolk continued to surround the ring as the latter justed him with right and left jabs. Every time the kid got within reach the Tiger went to a clinch. Finally, as Flowers started to break ground, Norfolk, let go with a short right. It caught Flowers under the heart. Flowers intered a cry of pain and lunge on the unit. He rolled over on his back and he did not regain consciousness for fully two minutes. Until the knockout blow was BASEBALL NOTES BASEBALL NOTES The Black Sox management has purchased Lindsay the crack shortstop of the Richmond Giants. Poles has not been playing his game lately at short nor hitting the ball with his usual speed. The variety and the management think that a rest will benefit him. 一 That the team was able to take two games out of three from the Bacharachs with the line-up all shot to pieces was almost a miracle, for it was apparent to all who witnessed the games, that the visitors operated in a clock-like manner. The greatest handicap was in the receiving department. Rojo being called home on account of the death of his wife, Britton, who was expected to assist behind the plate in an emergency, being unable to do so having been laid up with a bad arm ever since he came here, it can readily be seen the team against. Britton played at first base Monday and handled himself splendidly. He will be a great asset to the team when he gets right. Logan did pretty well Sunday, but Cleo Smith who caught Monday's game did even better, go well in fact that it looks to us like it would be a wise move to give him more practice behind the plate. And now Richardson is out of the game with an injury, which puts another crimp in the hurting department. Right, he was needed for the great game that Wilson is playing, and the butting rampage that Miller has gone on lately. In reply to the complaint concerning the dirty seats and the employment of white men around the park. Manager Speden says, that he has tried the experiment of using colored men in the box-office, but has not found them satisfactory in the rapid handover change, and furthermore that they are most always short when the count up employee. The men who are new employees are expert test sellers, he says, and have to make good any shortage that is found. As to the lesser positions, he says that he has offered them to colored men but they will not take them. Concerning the dirty seats, he says that he has the seats cleaned every Sunday morning but the wind blows the dust, and then again before the curious arrive. He is now doing all he can to remedy this condition. The management has inaugurated a "Ladies' Day" policy and hereafter ladies will be admitted free to the Monday games. delivered Flowers had landed more blows than his opponent had and several of them staggered the Kid but the latter refused to back up. The man was witnessed by a capacity flowerers recently beat Jamaica Kid. AFRO PUBLIC SCHOOL LEAGUE LAST WEEK'S RESULTS Roland Park defeated P.

Washington Turns Out In Holiday Array To Celebrate Inauguration of City's First Big Team POTOMACS WIN TWO Bacharachs Come Back And Take Remaining Three Games of Series Washington, D. C., May 17.—Ben Taylor's Washington Potomac made their initial debut before local fans last Thursday when they crossed bats with the famous Atlantic City Bacharachs. Washington took on a holiday appearance and turned out over 4,000 strong despite the near-freezing weather to welcome Manager Taylor and his team, which is the first professional team to ever represent the National Capital. A big street parade, traversing the principal sections of the city preceded the game, when the team was presented to the treasurer of Howard University; S. H. Dudley, and William C. Walker, participated in the opening ceremonies. Manager Taylor was presented with a beautiful horse shoe of American Beauties Roses just before the game. The design was over four feet high and contoured to rounded roses. The presentation was made by Dr. Emmett J. Scott. Although the day was cold, the two teams put up one of the best exhibitions of ball playing ever seen here. The Potomacs celebrating the opening day by defeating the "susiders" 5 to 2. Carr, of the Potomacs held the visitors at his mercy throughout the game, allowing but four sorrow hits. Henderson pitched credibly, but faulty fielding which put men on buses and timely clouting meant his team won. Ben Taylor, the greatest first baseman in the game, lived up to his reputation with his hitting, fielding and leadership of his team. The Potomacs counted two fans in the third on Clark's hit, Jefferson's suicicide, White's error and Taylor's hit. Three more were added in the fifteen when Brown singled and stole; Taylor walked; Ridgegey hit to Henderson and all men were safe; Henderson and Henderson and playing of the Potomacs outfield kept the fans on their feet constantly. By clubbing Harper, when hits meant runs, the Potomacs made it two straight from the Atlantic City Bacharachs last Friday at American League Park, 5-4. A home run by Ben Taylor, the holding of Woods and the batting of Specks Clarke and Anderson, Saturday, Hampton, of the Bacharachs, and At Britain, of the Potomacs, sugared a pitchers' duel, after the first inning, but tighter fielding on the part of the Seasiders enabled Hampton to blank the Capitalist 3-0. On Sunday, the Bacharachs evening the series by clubbing their way to victory, the Seasiders underscored the rubber for the Bacharachs, while Carr occupied the hill for the Potomacs.

Brown Panther Occupies Ring-Side Seat at Milk Fund Show and Wails He Is Sidetracked Sits Still and Says Nothing While Other Boxers Claim for Chance BY AFRO SPORTS EDITOR Harry Wilts is still singin' the blues. It is getting to be a habit with Harry, who incidentally is the one fighter in all America whom all sporting experts admit has a real chance in a fight with Jack Dempsey. At the Milk Fund bout the other afternoon in New York when $3,000 fans crowded the Stadium to see Jess Wilkard beat Flope Johnson in a tame bout while White Pearl beat Ben Johnson in $300,000, $250,000 of which he gave to charity. Teek knew as he counted the $290,000 berries that a fight between Wilk and Dempsey alone would bring in more than half a million dollar easily. He placed at the ring-side while the white heavyweights were mauling each other was Harris Wilks. "They've side-tracked me he wailed. "I can't fight. The won't-lot me challenge" he mourned when asked would he issue a deft to any of the winners of the game. "You'll get your chanced some day" said a newspaper reported comfortably. "Yes" said Harry, "And I'll an old man, someday." So much for the blues. Now for the facts. What is Harry and his silent manager Paddy Millins doing to get a bout with Dempsey or some other fighter, besides sitting still and crying. What is not only heavy weight champion of New York, New York bars the fight, Chicago doesn't, and if Chicago goes crooked, what is the matter with Cub and Paris or South America. Who does he not employ a press agent or a lawyer? Who is longer to Dempsey and promises what he will do to the champs if he ever gets him in the rink. Other fighters are employing pres agents and are getting bouts. How do you suppose a dub like Carper SOLD IN BALMORE NATHAN GOLDSTEIN, 577 N. Gay Street HASKIN HANOVER, 430 W. Pratt Street I. E.

The migration movement has reached such proportions that nothing short of a complete re-adjustment of conditions in the South to meet the competition of conditions in other sections of the country will serve to save this section from being depleted of its most valuable labor. No half-hearted measures will do any good. The old method of remunerating a few Negro leaders, of building a good school here and there, or the establishment of a playground or park cannot stop the onward rush now. Negroes are moving away by the thousands and manufacturers and farmers of the South know that potential dollars are leaving with every man and woman. Only complete abolition of ALL THE INJUSTICES and the granting of ALL THE PRIVILEGES of citizenship will stem the tide.

Headlines in the daily papers state that the United States may send soldiers and warships to free and protect a number of American citizens held by bandits in China. There can be no doubt that the State Department owes protection to its citizens, wherever they are, but this grand-stand play will strike intelligent people as rather ludicrous in view of the little protection we are giving some of our most industrious citizens right here in these United States. Thirty-four Negroes have been burned alive since the war; hundreds are now held in peonage and in brazen conflict with the Constitution, and as far as we know no one is serving time for it nor have any soldiers been sent to free them. If the men who control this nation could let "a little protection begin at home" they would not be so often in the awkward position of hypocritically preaching that which they do not practice. Pola Negri Gets a Wallop. In a double column editorial in the Houston, Texas, "Mayfield's Weekly," Editor Mayfield goes into journalistic convulsions because of the photo-play, "Bella Donwhich Poli Negri is starring, and which portrays a darkna," in which Pola Negri is starring, and which portrays a dark-skinned Egyptian making love to a white English woman on the banks of the Nile. But listen at the Colonel. Writing of the picture he says: "It is a brazen propaganda for social equality. It is a stench in the nostrils of the Southland and an affront to the Caucasian race." Colonel Mayfield must also be a Jew-baiter and a friend, at least, to the Ku Klux Klan, for he continues: "So help me God, that foul and bispherical lie was sent over America by the deprived and conscienceless Jews of Hollywood. And that is but the beginning of the Jewish assault upon social equality. They hate the Ku Klux Klan; they have no interest or love for the Gentile race, and the batteries of their tremendous power are turned on social equality. They will send, out kindred pictures of Pola Negri's * * * . They will have wide highly infatuated with saddle-colored women; they will do anything under God Almighty's sun to degrade the Protestant women." "Read white sons of the South—read it and reflect. The South has never been safe from the Negro rape fiend. We have hung them by their necks, we have burned them at the stake, and still no woman is safe beyond their husband's rifle." Yes, many white sons of the South will read that editorial and reflect. In Texas especially, where white men have so often invaded the sanctity of Negro homes and brushed aside their own barriers of social equality to such an extent that it is hard to tell who has or has not Negro blood in their veins; they will reflect on the deeds of their fathers that made these conditions. Since the whites of the South have little to fear from the Negro forcing himself socially on them, and since they have been able to deal so efficiently with the occasional rapist, thanks to the rope and the torch, what have they to fear? Is the memory of their past misdeeds with colored women haunting their souls and driving them insane on this question, or are they afraid that their own women will holt and take a fling new? The EDITORIAL PAGE of THE AFRO-AMERICAN Old Timer was talking animat- y with a group of men down to own's Grove about the recent election and other events when the re- porter walked up. "There's that pesky reporter again," he said. "He's allus 'roun' listenin'.

"There's the reporter again," he said. "His ability to answer Why don't you go oakh and pay your last tribute of respect to Bill Eroening as well no longer he Mayor next Wednesday." the reporter said.

A credit and an Honor to his race! Our Harold grew a handsome, noble lad, It thrilled my heart with pride to look at him; And when death left me sadened and bereft, The surging current of my widowed love Pertended to the sound of my truth in this And never was one more worthy or more kind So off he called me Queen of the World, But we must concentrate each nerve and thought To this one end—That he may prove a MAN. A credit and an Honor to his race! But all things change; There came one dreadful day— A day that seared my anxious heart like flame. There hurst upon the stillness of the night The yells and curses of a frenzied molt! I run with slicking dread toward the door I bear to the door with fear! My boy—my boy—all pale and wet with blood, And sobbing, Mother, mother, hide me—hide! Quick as a flash I KNEW, and stooping low I dragged him in the house and barred the door, A moment more and I had placed him safe Within a secret passageway. And when The ruthless beasts had battered in the door They found me knitting, placidly and calm, As if their counting here no harm or ill; Cleverly I was weared, well used But for one such more worthless the rest— "Where is the boy? What is this NIGGER?" Speak! Tell us the Truth, and if you dare to lie— I'll tear your lying tongue out by the roots! So you won't answer! Hand me, boys, A rope can make her talk—Some one must pay— It matters not—the mother or the son. To teach these blacks that WE intend to RULE, And theirs is but to grovel and—OBEY! Tear off those rags and cut her stubborn hide As deep as you can drive it—to the bone— She'll tell us where he's hidden—soon enough! How little did they know a Mother's heart! Betray my child? Far sooner might they pluck My eyes from out their sockets, break my limbs Into a thousand fragments; and should they try me Here, take this heart, that will throb with loyalty to And drain it of my life-blood—drop by drop! They fling my worthless cared down to Hell— Let me suffer there! Yet I rejoice— Defying pain and agony and death. For there is life for greater than mine own— The progress of a People and their good! Gaze not on me with cold, bewildered stare, As if upon some creature wierd and strange. That strapped by chance from some forgotten land, And bovers low with sable wings outspread To scatter gloom upon your sunlit world! —For I am but a woman—worn and old— And groping in a dismal way alone; This wasted body, bent with cruel years, Would find a welcome sphere in the grave! Geochemical study, you may say In all the dazzling radiance of Youth. Ah! soon, too soon will Pain and Sorrow grasp And crush your soul in Life's Gethsemane! Once I was young, and Louisiana's sun Shed not its rays upon a fairer maid; When my suitors came with words of love I chose the noblest one among them all And we were wed. Such happy days That sped on roses wings! And when I held an infant breast, I kissed Earth was complete, but my fond husband smiled And said in manner proud, yet strongly said: "Dear wife, what gift your love has given me— This child, to be the blossom of our hopes— To reach far spheres that we have sought in vain, And thus redeem the failures we have made. But how I fear for what the years will bring— These tiny feet must tread unearthly paths; But we must concentrate each nerve and thought To this one end—That he may prove a MAN, A credit and an Honor to his face! Our Harold grew a handsome, noble lad, It thrilled my heart with pride to look at him; And when death left me saddened and bereft; The surging current of my widowed love Turned to the signet of our faith—my son; And never was one more worthy of my mind—of the caller of the World; And vowed that grief should not disturb my throne— He was my Champion and my gallant Knight— You mothers know how I did worship him! But all things change: There came one dreadful day— A day that seared my anxious heart like flame. There burst upon the stillness of the night The yells and curses of a frezzied mob! I run with sickning dread toward the door And threw it wide—and what lay at my feet! My boy—my boy—all pale and wet with blood, And sobbing, "Mother, mother, hide me! hide! Quick as a flash I KNEBW, and stooping low I dragged house and barred the door, A moment more and I hand the safe Within a secret passageway. And when The ruthless beasts had battered in the door They found me knitting, placially and calm, As if their coming bore no harm or ill; So cleverly I posed they were deceived But for one wretch more brutal than the rest: "Where is the boy? What is this NIGGER? Speak! Tell us the Truth, and if you dare to lie I'll tear your lying tongue out by the roots! So you will answer?-Hand me, boys. A rape can make me some one must pay- It matters not—the mother or the boy! To teach these blacks that WE intend to RULE. And their's is to grovel and—OBEY!

They fling my worthless careless down to Hell— And let me suffer there! Yet I rejoice— Defying pain and agony and death, For there is life far greater than mine own— The progress of a People and their good! So I have given to the world my Son— God grant that he may measure every test, And if my sacrifice means aught to him He will not fall. But confident and strong, Step bravely forth as lordly Washington And lend his Race into majestic heights! FORUM This column is open to readers. Be brief.

Atlantic City Render Prefers The Use of "Black" to Kelly Miller's Negro and Tells Why To the Editor. The definition of the word Negro in week before last's Afro-American (Kelly Miller Column) is wrong, it is a Spanish word and name. Black it was used by the Portuguese slave, it is returning to slaves as "blacks". The word simply mean, black not necessarily a black man but a black cat, a black dress, "El Sombrero Negro" is "the black hat". The word is the same for both black and white. Ry Era A.

Not that I am ashamed of my color but I don't want to be called something I am not. Some of us couldn't be Negro if we tried. No where in the world except here in America is that word used in speaking of colored people and I think it is about time to ston. How many of us are really "Negro." Here is an illustration, see how it sounds, "The Negro Press." The Black Press, "The Negro Year Book" is The Black Year Book. If we are black that is all right. God the Creator was pleased to make us so but for his dear sake drop the "Negro" a foreign word and stick to the English. Yours as Black as they make them. GAMAILIEL, AVANT 706, Lexington Ave. Atlantic City) M, J KELLY MILLER SAYS Professor Kerlin For Kerlin is a Southern white man of letters, occupied the chair of English in the Virginia Lexington, Va., for a number of years. His literary curiosity led him to make a study of the Negro mind in cultural form. Like white people, he was acquainted with the higher level of household and domestic familiarity to honest expression of sentiment or sincerity, constraining of servility. For Kerlin undertook to study the movements emitted mind of the Negro through the media. The revelations opened up a new world of Negro soul, which turns itself wrong sideways of the presence of a critical or unfriendly tendency to follow the leading of this new ray of study of Negro poetry which still further involved angles of the Negro mind. He discoveries not only the appreciation of beauty, expressing this appreciation in literary form, but it is not a catalogue of grievances or a list of natural expression of the feeling of the race of race. Easy to imagine the surprise of a Southern white discovery. The traditional attitude of his chivalrous reactions of the field hand and domestic not for artistic genius or expressional excellence instance might be shunted aside as a consequence to recur. But Professor Kerlin found widely distributed among various authors who write the poetic art. He not hesitant or grudging in the expression of his wire would carry the word, the report of authorities at Lexington that Prof. Kerlin and was advocating race equality, as of course more than the traditional Virgil endure. It upset the tradition of the elites, markings which the fathers had set. With the college was ruthlessly severed. There there was no argument of the merits of enriched in power, but who are doubtful of their position, never argue. It is a word and our policy, and we need no further pains a tribute to truth by refusing to cover the case. The moral position of the South until now, has been wholly indefensible. After they attempt to justify their attitude, the followiness of their position is quickly revealed: white man in the South today but who did not argue which their fathers advance society. The apologists for Negro suppression, unity of moral and intellectual resource, could only asseverate, assert and swear, to defend the wrong side of a moral issue. Professor was summarily dismissed and sought out that land whose genius and conscience is of local intolerance. For chapter in the story still remains. Prof. the trustees for non-fulfillment of contract could not find a qualified white lawyer in the case. Herein is the narrow-minded with self-revealed. This high-minded Southern competent colored attorneys to handle the case front to Southern prejudice and tradition. In the declination of white jurists consults made. For Kerlin is a high type of American man, freedom of speech and the rights of man. He is typical of many a Southern man of the under the galloping gyes of provincialism presumptuous he could, gladly free himself from the host prejudice of race. Professor Kerlin is a Southern white man of letters and liberal ideas. He occupied the chair of English in the Virginia Military Academy, Lexington, Va., for a number of years. His literary curiosity led him to make a study of the outgivings of the Negro mind in cultural form. Like all other Southern white people, he was acquainted with the Negro only on the lower level of household and domestic familiarity. There can be no honest expression of sentiment or sincerity of soul under the constraint of servility. Professor Kerlin undertook to study the movements of the free and untrammelled mind of the Negro through the medium of his newspapers. The revelations opened up a new world of suggestion as to the real Negro soul, which turns itself wrong side out when it is unconscious of the presence of a critical or unfriendly eye. He decided to follow the leading of this new ray of light. This led to the study of Negro poetry which still further revealed new and unsuspected angles of the Negro mind. He discovered that the Negro possesses not only the appreciation of beauty, but also the power of expressing this appreciation in literary form. "The Voice of the Negro" is not a catalogue of grievances or a list of complaints, but the cultural expression of the feeling of the race in terms of poetic excellence. It is easy to imagine the surprise of a Southern white man at such a discovery. The traditional attitude of his class expects only the animal reactions of the field hand and domestic servant, but looks not for artistic genius or expressional excellence. 'An individual instance might be shunted aside as a monstrosity hardly expected to recar. But Professor Kerlin found such indications widely distributed among various authors who strove to cultivate the poetic art. He was not hesitant or grudging in the expression of appreciation and praise. He disclosed his discovery to the members of the faculty of his school and the cultured society of the college town. They gave their cautious assent with a mixed feeling of curiosity and surprise. Professor Kerlin's interest deepened with his knowledge. He sought a wider audience. He began to appear before colored gatherings to tell of the hidden treasury which he had found. This step naturally led to animadversion upon the manhood claims of the Negro. He had the temerity to appear at a meeting of the N. A. A. C. P. and appeal for a square deal of the people who are struggling for simple justice and human recognition. This was at Detroit, if my memory serves me right. Swift as the wire would carry the word, the report was flashed back to the authorities at Lexington that Prof. Kerlin had turned Nerophile and was advocating race equality. This was of course more than the traditional] Virginia attitude of mind could endure. It upset the tradition of the elders and removed the landmarks which the fathers had set. Professor Kerlin's connection with the college was ruthlessly severed. Of course there was no argument of the merits of the case. Those entrenched in power, but who are doubtful of the tenebility of their position, never argue. It is a word and a blow. "It is against our policy, and we need no further defence." Projudice pays a tribute to truth by refusing to consider the merits of the case. The moral position of the South, from the beginning until now, has been wholly indefensible. Whenever they attempt to justify their attitude, the intellectual and moral hollowness of their position is quickly revealed. There is not a right minded white man in the South today but who is ashamed of the discredited arguments which their fathers advanced in defence if human slavery. The apologists for Negro suppression today show the same paucity of moral and intellectual resource. Tillman and Tom Watson could only asseverate, assert and swear. Those who feel forced to defend the wrong side of a moral issue are indeed to be pitted. The Professor was summarily dismissed and sought occupation in the North. Ill fares that land whose genius and conscience is drained away by reason of local intolerance. A brief chapter in the story still remains. Professor Kerlin saed the trustees for non-fulfillment of contractual obligations. He could not find a qualified white lawyer in Virginia to undertake the case. Herein is the narrow-minded intolerance of the South self-revealed. This high-minded Southern professor selected competent colored attorneys to handle the case, not as a studied affront to Southern prejudice and tradition, but simply because the declination of white jurists consults made this course necessary. Professor Kerlin is a high type of American manhood that believes in the freedom of speech and the rights of man. It is easy to believe that he is typical of many a Southern man of liberal impulses who chafes under the galling grievous of provincialism prejudice, and who would, if he could, gladly free himself from the bonds of soul lighting prejudice of race. Back to the Farm less temerity today even to utter these words, citywards. It is needless to argue against movements often times have the inevitability motion moves to the city as the waves tend to as impotent in one case as the other. We upon the consequences, although we may not element is gaining upon the rural population on the darker aspect of the waxing moon, man half-full. The majority of our population is now found the tendency still in the ascendency. / A diminishing returns, there must shortly be It takes remembrance today even to utter these words. The title is turned citywards. It is needless to argue against the force of gravity. Social movements often times have the inevitability of natural law. Migration moves to the city as the waves tend to the shore. Moralizing is as imminent in one case as the other. We may at least philosophize upon the consequences, although we may not be able to affect them. The city element is gaining upon the rural population as the illuminated upon the darker aspect of the waxing moon. The orb is now more than half-full. The actual majority of our population is now found in urban centers with the tendency still in the ascendency. According to the law of diminishing returns, there must shortly be reached a point when it will prove less profitable and less pleasant to migrate to the city than to remain in the country. The title will not turn till that point is reached. The Negro as a mass floats upon the title of social movements, without seeing aim or purpose. He is swept to and fro by the ebb and flow of the industrial current. The individual is in quest of the immediate gain and glare of city attractions, headless of the entailing results upon future generations. The country produces food supply and raw material. The city puts a secondary value on the raw material by manufacturing it into the forms required by fashion and use. It serves also as the center of distribution. The Negro so far has not become an essential factor either in trade manufacture. We are of course watching with eager interest the results of the vacuum in the labor market growing out of the World War. This will determine whether or not the Negro has a permanent place in the industries of the North. This, however, is but a part of the problem. The place of the Negro in the life of the cities in the South and West is of no less importance. The race, be it remembered, is not only flocking to the Northern cities from the South, but is leaving the rural portion of Northern states for the big centers, and is also deserting the Southern farms for city life in that section. The city will undoubtedly develop quickly a professional class of selected individuals. But whether it will produce a sustaining middle class of independent dealers who are not daily dependent upon the weekly pay roll for their daily bread is the biggest question involved. On the farm such a middle class is rapidly developing. The number of Negroes who own or are acquiring their own farms is the most hopeful sign in the industrial progress and promise of th race. To give up such bright prospect for the sake of becoming day laborers or wage earners in city industries may prove to be an unwise exchange. The Negro as a mass undoubtedly better suited to agricultural than to urban industries. He has a better chance of becoming his own proprietor and a controlling as well as a contributing factor. This has nothing to do with the political or civil aspect of the question. The Negro who seeks better opportunities in the North and West might and then on the farm as well as in the city as the white man is abandoning the farm the Negro should snatch them up. He should value what the white man resigns. In but a little while the farmer must resume its rightful place in the economic life of the nation. Booker T. Washington was fundamentally right. Comprehensively speaking, the Negro is better off on the farm. The temporary tide of migration to the Northern cities should not be allowed to obscure this instability rate.
