One Out Of Every Six Colored Babies In Baltimore Is Marked For Death Say Experts THREE COOKED BY LIVE STEAM DEPT. OF LABOR FINDS DEATH RATE IS HIGH AMONG INFANTS Study of 1,000 Colored Families in Baltimore by U. S. Bureau Shows Where Fault Lies Many Mothers Forced to Earn Bread, Neglect the Care of Their Babies INFANT MORTALITY IN BAITIMORE AT A GLANCE 1 Survey of 1,000 colored shows that 1 out of eve babies dies in infancy. The rate for whites is 1 out of every 10. The rate for Poles is higher than the Negro rate. 2 Dirty alley dwellings out of repair, with poor toilet facilities, one cause of high infant death rate. 3 Jews are more crowded than Negroes, but their homes are kept in better repair. 4 Colored mothers have too many babies, too close together. 5 More colored mothers than white are able to nurse their babies. 6 Where colored mothers time they give birth to child do not have to work up to the dren their infants are heathier than whites. 7 Where colored fathers get good wages, their children are healthier. Reasons for the higher death rate among Negro babies than among white babies are suggested in a study made by the U. S. Department of Labor through the Children's Bureau here. Census figures for the entire United States birth registration area show that the Negro infant mortality rate is considerably higher than the white race. In the Baltimore study which is the eighth and most important of the series of infant mortality studies made by the Bureau, it was possible to discover to a large extent just what causes this difference. Facts were secured from more than 1,000 Negro families in which babies were born during the year of the study. Thirteen per cent of the entire number of births for the center in these families. The infant mortality rate among these colored families was higher than that among any other group, except native white or foreign born, except among the babies of Polish mothers, which had a slightly higher rate than the Negro. The Negro with 55.9 for native white mothers and compared with 51.0 for babies of Jewish mothers, who had the lowest mortality rate of any nationality in the city. The Bureau agents visited the colored families and analyzed the colored in order to see what seemed to be the most important reasons for this high death rate among Negro babies in the year of age. Such factors as the babies' surroundings, the fathers' earnings, mothers' employment, the interval between births in families, the size of family, and the type of feeding were analyzed for each of the national groups. The surroundings of the colored babies, the report points out that Baltimore is built on the alley plan and in these narrow back streets lived a good percentage of the Negro population. A study of housing condition found some years described certain Negro alley Space was less congested in these alley, than in the Jewish and Polish districts, but a higher percentage of dwellings were seriously out of re-pair. There was a great lack of decent toilet facilities and the allowance of damping and filth. In disassessing the question of fathers' earnings in its effect on the infant death rate, the report points out that the mortality rate for the native white families represents a balance between the high rate in poor families and the low rate in富裕 families. In the colored group this was not the case. There was an excessively high percentage of colored fathers earning the lowest wage and there were almost no "prosperous" colored families. The report draws the conclusion that a large part of the difference may, but not all, is evident due to the poverty of the colored families. Another difference found between the colored group and the native white group was the fact that the colored families were larger and the intervals between the births of the babies shorter than in the white families. After weighing all the dence, however, the report concludes that the difference was a comparatively small factor in accounting for the difference in the death rates. The third factor studied was the employment of mothers. Seventy-three per cent of the white mothers studied were not employed during the year preceding or imminent after the birth, and in other hand, the fourth per cent of the colored mothers studied were not employed. The report states after analyzing this factor: "It is plain that in some way the mothers' employment was a factor in the excessive mortality of colored babies, for when all mothers employed away from home are treated in the comparison, the total mortality rates among the col- (Continued on Page Four) Entered in the Postoffice at Baltimore, Md., as Second-class Matter under Act of March 3, 1879. White Physicians and Head Nurse Have Already Been Selected, Says Commission Head Will Make Statement After Conferring with Dr. Victor Cullen on Friday The question of personnel at the colored T. B. Hospital is still open, Governor Ritchie told the Arno-American today. "While I am interested in the matter," said the Governor, "only to the extent that the best thing he done for colored tubercular patients, I shall, discuss the situation with Dr. Victor Cullen in Sabillasville the latter part of this week and will make a statement following this conference." When asked as to the basis of the policy to bar colored doctors and nurses, Governor Ritchie stated that he understood from Dr. Cullen that colored patients would not okey colored doctors and nurses and that therefore in the interest of the patients themselves, Dr. Cullen had partially settled on white doctors and nurses, leaving all other places to be filled by colored. Governor Ritchie let it be known that if the interests of the colored patients could be as well served by colored doctors and and attitude would be to nurses his attitude, but that knowing nothing about hospitals himself he had to rely on Dr. Cullen's opinion. DENNIS IS POSITIVE Samuel K. Dennis, who, with his father-in-law, has been long interested in the hospital and is chairman of the commission in charge, stated positively that Dr. Dennis white, and a white head nurse had been named and those appointments needed. Only one physician would be needed, he said, although there would be necessary several nurses for the 53 patients. Mr. Dennis drew an outline of the new hospital, showing how one of the wings in the building will be taken up entirely with quarters for nurses, doctors, and other help. "These employees are the 'must be all white or black, because the nurses there. Since the head physicians and the head nurses are white, it is necessary to have all white personnel." STEWARD, COOK AND WAITERS Two small houses near the hospital. Mr. Dennis said, might be fixed up to rhe colored steward, cooks and waiters. Asked if homes outside might not be built for the superintendent and head nurse so that all colored employees might be trained, Mr. Dennis said that would cost in the neighborhood of $10,000, and the money was not available. When told of Senator Bruce's statement to the effect that no self-respecting white doctor or nurse would serve in a colored hospital where there are qualified doctors and nurses; that the Baltimore office was opposed to white replied that he was not interested in the Tuskegee matter and knew nothing of it.

Talked In His Sleep New York, Aug. 23.—When between 4,000 and 5,000 members of the Knights of Pythias gathered from almost every State of the Union, as well as from South America, Cuba and Canada, opened their biennial convention today, one of the chief topics of the session was the difficulties and suffering experienced by hundreds of them in getting shelter for the night. Over 200 delegates to the six-day convention, many of them accompanied by their wives, daughters and other relatives, some of them compresects all night or sought shivering shelter in the parks. This situation due to an eleventh-hour discord of lack of accommodation was roundly denounced on every side, and officials of the colored Chamber of Commerce are outspoken in their criticism of the city's population for not aiding the sufferers to obtain shelter. It is said that more than $3,000 was squandered in the removal of the camp from Elmhurst, L.

C., Aug. 23.—Continuing outbreaks of mob violence in five States caused the Coolidge administration to consider legislation making such offenses a crime against the Government. Here is the tenor of dispatches which reached the President's desk this week: GEORGIA—Two colored men, Lee Green and Aaron Harris, hanged and riddled by mobs on trivial charges. Three Hudson brothers, white, arrested near Macon charged with flogging colored men. They are thought to be part of a gang teething the country for the past six months. Martial law has been suggested to the Governor. FLORIDA—Alleged Klanmen overpowered the jailer at Eau Gall and released, an alleged member of the Klan from jail. TEXAS—Four State investigations are under way in the supposed effort to uncover who is responsible for the hundreds of floggings by masked gangs. OHIO—A district gathering of 5,000 Klanmen near Steubenville, Ohio, to threaten in bloodshed and oil. OKLAHOMA—Since martial law has been proclaimed in Tulsa, there have been four floggings by alleged Klanmen. COOLIDGE INTERESTED President Coolidge was reported deeply concerned by the apparent increased disregard for law and order. The President and other Government officials were said to be considering the advisability of enacting an anti-mob bill in Congress. The proposed legislation would apply not only to lynch mobs, but to all organizations of masked men who take the law unto their own hands." The Dyer bill, passed by the last House, but "talked to death" in the Senate by a Democratic pressure will be reintroduced the next Congress was formed today. The Coolidge administration is expected to support this measure inasmuch as the executive was elected on a platform which pledged its enactment. Federal authorities, however, hope to extend the Dyer bill to include all masked organizations attempting mob violence of any nature. ANTI-WHIPPING LAW A movement now under way would amide the bill to make any act of mob violence a Federal crime. Under this inventory would come the whippings, deportations and other frequently attributed to the Ku Klux Klan, Penalties on a lesser scale than those applying to lynchings would be provided.

Only their eyes and mouth remain uncovered. Unable to talk, eat or move, physicians are hoping that the burns are not sufficient to cause death. One is dead, one not expected to live, and five more or less seriously wounded as a result of an explosion which occurred early Monday morning at Archer's Laundry, corner of Howard and Mulberry streets. The explosion, which tore a hole in the dome of one of the boilers in the power unit as well as through a specially built brick wall, meshed with wire, took place about 8:30 when but a few of the regular employees had reported for duty. This fact probably saved a larger number from a horrible death. Only two girls had begun work in this section, and they, with another who ran from fright into the troning room just above the exploding boiler, were trapped like rats in a room filled with superheated steam. I was there that the blisters were greatest. The creams of the girls were audible on Howard street. DEAD—Mrs. Alice Butter, 335 State street. SERIOUSLY WOUNDED — Miss Nancy Martin, 17, N.

EXPLOSION TERRIFIC According to Miss Carrie Blake, 1524 Baker street, who, with other girls, was standing in line at the head of the first flight of stairs near the boiler when it exploded. If first reported, she stared up the second flight of stairs, but was thrown to the floor by the brushing steam. She then fainted and was pulled from danger by one of the superintendents. Miss Katie Campbell, 1517 Mosher street, in despair what happened, to report that this paper stated that it all occurred so suddenly that she did not even remember a single sound. She also was in line waiting to be assigned for work. Miss May Miller stated that she received her wounds when she jumped from a ceiling as she jumped to a third floor into the second-story fire escape out of fear. A number of other women who came out on a three-foot ledge were prevented from jumping only by the heroic efforts of members of the police and fire departments. Jerry Kipman, a eminent success in releasing a fire escape ladder down which the girls were being taken to safety when the fire department arrived. was assessed $25 and warned to wear something when she danced.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I desire to make a statement relative to the distribution of the funds among the members of the Board of Directors of the United Order of Seven Wise Men. I am a member of this Board. Owing to the fact that the meetings of this Board are invariably held at a time when my attention is demanded elsewhere, I have been unable, for the past several months, to be present when called on by the Board. I have been, and am still ignorant concerning what business has been transacted. At the last meeting with I attended, however, no mention was made relative to the distribution of any funds among the members as salaries. On July 19th, at the Nazarite Hall, my daughter was handed an envelope, with the instructions that the contents of the said envelope would be delivered to the Bell. To this writing I have neither seen nor heard from Dr. Bell. The first information which I received concerning the source from whence the contents of this envelope came was obtained through the Afro-American, which delivered to my home on Thursday. The envelope and its contents are still in my strong-box, where it was placed immediately upon its receipt. When the proper arrivals I shall return the contents of said envelope just as it was sent This explanation is offered that the public may know that I had nothing whatever to do with the division of funds of the above mentioned Order of Seven Wise Men.

S.W.M.Make Reply to Charges of Irregularities PRESIDENT ISSUES STATEMENT Although no official notification has yet reached me that an injunction has been issued against the Board of Directors of the Joint Stock Association (U. O. O. S. W. M. restraining them from "Further Handling the funds of the Order," and that there has been "Instituted a suit to recover and force an accounting" as stated in last week's issue of the Afro-American, 1958 taking this occasion on behalf of the Board of Directors to deny in october 1958 the activities of the management and transaction of the affairs of the Board of Directors of this Company; also to deny all inferences, allegations and implications to the effect that the members of this Board have engaged in any practices of dishonesty or unwhole conduct, whatsoever. It is admitted that certain sums of money were paid out to individuals named for services rendered as current expense incurred as a result of the legitimate transaction of the business of this organization. Such was done not "Contrary to the law and Constitution" and not "without warrant and authority" but strictly in accord with our constitution and authority granted said Board of Directors. It is unfortunate that the Board voted to hold the Sum which totals five hundred and thirty-three dollars (153,330,00); and that the members of the Board of Directors received the sums as stated in the Afro-American It is also untrue "That on July 13th, shares to the amount of $5055.00 had been sold." Shares totaling the $2803.00 had been issued up to and including July 12th; the balance of the $5055.00 then on hand being the approximate income or profit derived from the side of the property No. 942 Madison avenue, which was negotiated not "without warrant and authority with instructions" voted the board by the board. Incidentally, we wish to reassure every subscriber that their money is with that it is the purpose of the Board of Directors to fund every dollar invested with interest following our next Stockholders' meeting. We are adopting this course following the manifest wide spread demand for the dissolution of this Company. The general tenor of the articles appearing in the Afro-American and the Daily papers is disgraceful and obnoxious, false and misleading as well as repugnant to the general membership of this organization. The Board of Directors are not forced to give an accounting of its transactions; on the contrary, we welcome an invitation to result of our books and transactions. We have withheld nothing from our subscribers or stock-holders. We have always invited those financially interested in this Company to attend our meetings and at no time have we conducted "secret meetings." We have at all times desired the fullest publicity to surround our activities and on at least three occasions during the year have rendered "Accountings" to our stock-holders and at this present are ready to conduct our annual accounting or report, which is now open to inspection to our subscribers and which we shall present to our membership at the proper time. We sincerely regret that the differences of opinion which exist between and among members of the Grand Lodge and this Association have thus caused the Grand Master John W. Travers, to institute such a movement as now confronts the order and which is destined to do the organization incalculable harm. I believed at all times in my work as President of the Board of Directors, the and all differences arising in this Order will be unliable and satisfactorily settled, and adjusted among ourselves. I regret, indeed, that our differences must now be aired before the white man. We clearly see the mean and malicious purpose underlying this shamorous and libelous propaganda engineered and directed by unclean and envious minds intending to blench the characters of the members of the Board of Directors, and to thereby undermine the confidence which the Organization has reposed in them. It is our purpose to contest this effort to manifest application upon the membership of this Board, and shall at all times work to the end that our Honor, Integrity and Character shall be vindicated and the good name of this Organization preserved.

Church until next month, gossip is already being introduced to who will get the four delegated places in the next M. E. General Conference. Gossip has it that Revs. Ernest Lyon, M. E. Naylor, A. J. Mitchell and J. W. Waters will be the ones to land them. But reckoning must be with Revs. W. H. Dean, B. T. Perkins, Joseph H. Jenkins, S. Williams, R. W. S. Thomas, Julius S. Carroll, James U. King, C. S. Harper, Charles S. Briggs and others. It is generally conceived that Dr. I. Garland Penn will have no trouble in landing as a lay delegate. Who the other three laymen are to be is problematical. Rev. Carneut R. Waller, of Springfield, Mass., who recently attended the World's Baptist Congress at Stockholm as a delegate writes his son, G. Russell Waller that he was treated finely and thoroughly enjoyed his trip to Europe.

L.C.DYER HITS A.C.MINISTERS Failure of Single Pastor To Attend Anti-Lynch Meeting Cause of Wrath 'UNFIT' SAID CONGRESSMAN Some Atlantic City Folk Say Missourian Was Too Fiery Fiery By R. T. Lockett Atlantic City, Aug. 23.—Quite a bit of discussion is being heard over the impression created by an address delivered by Congressman L. C. Dyer Wednesday night at the Waltz Dream in the interest of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, and especially that part of his speech where he severely criticised the local colored ministers in not interesting themselves in the fight for the passage of the bill to the extent of being present at the meeting. We were expressions made to the reporter of this column yesterday to the effect that the speaker was absolutely right when he said that the colored preachers in Atlantic City "who are not in the front ranks of this great fight, right are not fit to occupy pulpits and preach right business to the people." There are others, however, who think the Congressman was a bit too harsh against the ministers that in practically every church there was something going on and the preachers had their own programs to look after. The broad-ranks was fired at the local clerical some because of the fact at what some considered an important meeting on one of the most vital issues with which the race has ever been faced, not a local minister to present. There were not five hundred people in the hall who listened to the fiery Congressman from Missouri.

Frederick H. Butler, assistant secretary in charge of the Negro Department of the South League in the M. E. Church. "I have urged that every effort be made to meet these people." Dr. Butler told the AFRO-AMERICAN. "They must not only fit into the industrial niche in their new environment, but also be developed along educational lines and in these things that fit for good voting citizens." "I would have playgrounds, gymnasia, educational classes, social work and all that enters into making a first-class citizen out of a man. I would seek co-operation with other agencies that are doing good results. In fact, I would have everyone feel that looking after the migrant is one of his duties." Women Meet In D. C Washington, D.

A singing aggregation, the group surpasses any tab show that has been seen at the Regent this summer. Those who contribute in this line in the first part are, Dad James who displayed a remarkably high sophomore and bass, and singing both with real melody, winning two encores, Geneva Toosweet and Martina Simms. Miss Toosweet sings "Those Irresistible Blues" to an encore and several hows. She has an extremely warm and moist sound, some singing minds one very much of Martion Harris the records singer. Little Martina Simms who is a native of this city and a product of the local public schools has a very sweet soprano voice. She was warmly applauded for her rendition of "Sunrise" and for writing "Sunrise" and took an own offering "Cast Away on an Island of Love." She needs however, some coaching in stage presence in putting over her numbers. At present she spoils her singing by too many awkward gestures. The comedy of the bill is supplied by William Tooswet who is one of the best comics in the business. His style is original and he uses the show with his parody of "Way Down Yonder in New Orleans" the theme being based on hooch-making. In the skit, fair character work was done by James as the wayward son. Allene Johnson as the mother. Martina Simms as a younger son, Martina Ford as a third boy, Sima Simms is also a member of the chorus. The latter and Martie Ford are also Baltimore girls. HAVRE DE GRACE, MD.

ONE OUT OF SIX BABIES WILL DIE Continued From Page One ored babies and the babies in native white families of the same earnings groups become almost identical, with a slight difference in favor of the colored babies. All colored babies than white babies, it was found, were nursed by their mothers. Therefore, the higher mortality in colored babies could not be attributed to an excess of artificial feeding in the colored group. Another favorable factor among the colored babies was the large number of them who had been reached through the infant welfare agencies in California. It was found that a higher percentage of colored mothers than of white mothers received good parent and maternal care and a larger percentage of colored mothers a greater impression from infant welfare agencies. In summing up, the report adds: "Among the colored babies, then the greater poverty of the fathers (with the attendant evil of poor housing), the more general employment of the mothers, the tendency toward larger families, and short life expectancy, the prior prevalence of venereal disease indicated by the high mortality assigned to syphilis, were increasing mortality, while mothers' nursing of their babies, prenatal care, and instruction and supervision received from infant welfare agencies were tending to reduce mortality. As we not result, the mortality from neonatal care and regards most readily to a fever and intelligent care." early infancy—which was es- tended by mothers' emit away from home during grace and by the prevalence of creal disease—was checked by ematal care from rising to the ex- cessively high rate found in the poorest native who familiest and most morally from respiratory diseases and other communicable diseases, which tends always to rise with poverty, was almost twice as high among the colored babies in the poorest families, as among babies in native white families of the same economic class, less detection from exposure to contagious diseases or a lower resistance in the colored families."

It was also played in this city at the Theatre by the Laudette Players. The story tells of Mary Turner, a shop girl, who is wrongfully accused of stealing and is sent to the penitentiary for three years. She serves her time and comes out withenge against society in general and her former employer in particular. The latter's son had been in love with her; and she takes advantage of his love to get even with his father by marrying the son. She heads a gang of crooks and succeeds in getting her husband away keeping "within the law." The gang is finally run to earth, however, when an unruly member rebels against her leadership and attempts to rob a rich mansion of its tapestries in which it is betrayed to the police by a stool-pigeon. Through the sacrifice of one of the men, she was always loved her, she is exonerated and finds her in the arms of the son whom she had loved all along.

Arnold) Mizpah, N. J., Aug. 2 MIZPAH, N. J., is being untranscends anything that has this section of the country, a with a spirit to help amleiorated people who are migratiers because of prevailing coupled with an exigency which labor shortage in the North. The father of the idea is is the sole owner of the devel Newtonville, Centre Park, an Mizpah, N. J., Aug. 20.—An innovation in MIZPAH, N. J., is being undertaken, which by far transcends anything that has even been planned in this section of the country, and it is being planned with a spirit to help amleiorate the condition of colored people who are migrating North in large numbers because of prevailing conditions in Dixie, coupled with an exigency which has arisen by reason of labor shortage in the North. The father of the idea is Mr. N. Rathblott, who is the sole owner of the developments called Mizpah, Newtonville, Centre Park, and Elwood Square, N. J., and a reputable business man of Philadelphia, Pa. In an interview with Mr. Rathblott he informed the writer that his purpose for offering the property for sale to colored people is the sequel of the crowded conditions in large cities, which works imposition upon those who hope to make the North their permanent home. Being a real estate man of much experience, Mr. Rathblott has gained first hand information from the itinerants that are migrating Northward in quest of semi-freedom and better wages and finds that their chief grievances are the lack of proper accommodations for themselves and families and inflated house rent. Professor Fudge Says The Bias of White Judges Not long ago, in Atlantic City, N.J., in a contest in marbles a white judge gave a white boy the decision over his colored opponent, when the colored boy had severely trounced him before a large crowd of fighters are against this white judge proposition. At present the white Boxing Commission in New York has been evading the issue where Harry Wills is concerned. Harvard University tried to put an extra handicap on colored youths. Another case of the Judge propounded up when Captain Pole returned from the North Pole. Before reaching the States he was interviewed by a reporter. To this reporter, speaking of Matthew Hen, he talked as if as much credit was the Henson as him for discovery. Human as the most dog driver living, and the man who made all of his astronomical calculations. Henson, so he said, "then" was indesignable, the one man he could depend on at all times. But when Capt. Peary reached the him, some came to him and he immediately changed his statement. He gave him a boost and then qualified it all by saying he was like others of his race and had to have a boss to continually superintend his action. Peary, from New England where cold weather abounds, left one of his legs up in the cold north. Matthew Henson, from the eastern shore of Maryland, from a farm in the cold north weather as a plague, made his many trips but brought it all back with him. For going to the pole Perry was made an Admiral in the U. S. Navy. For going to the pole Matthew Henson was given a cheap little Government job and today Henson is the only man living who has reached the North Pole, unless some one can find the right point. What I want to show is simply that when a test of any kind comes off between white people and other races, and the judges are white, there is not one chance in a hundred to get a fair decision. I may not only permit the result of the test, little dark children, simply saw wood. With Harding In Alaska "Speaking of clothes, it ought to be said that quite the most dignified and important looking person on board is Brooks, the Presidential valet. Brooks has been at the White A Canadian newspaper man, on board for two weeks, was under the impression that Brooks was the am-bassador of some important foreign affairs, and came along on the trip, but was very bored with the whole business and was showing his displeasure by having nothing to do with or to say to any one. It was not until Brooks got on the train at Seward to go to Pubbanks, that the Canadian man had generally that Brooks inspired a greater degree of awe and admiration in the breasts of the Pullman porters on oah, N. E NEAR ATLANTIC CEPTIONAL OP- COLORED LE Business Man Reveals Property Is Guaranteed ence Company 20.—An innovation in undertaken, which by far is even been planned in and it is being planned to the condition of col-ing North in large num-onditions in Dixie, cou-has arisen by reason of Mr. N. Rathblott, who appments called Mizpah, the train than could any one else in the world. The President, himself, was held in nothing like such veneration by these porters as was the dignified Brooks. The porters jump off a made way, and they jump by nodding his head." The above is taken from an Alaskan Diary, written by Frank R. Kent, a new newspaper man, connected with the Baltimore Sun. Mr. Kent can get the facts if they are buried under a ton of books, but he always tells the truth. The above write-up should tickle the fancy of most any valet. In this case, however, I have doubts. I don't believe Brooks, the valet, really appreciates the comment. Until Mr. Kent's article was published Brooks appears to have the dignified and important looking, true he, the very apex of colored society in Washington, true he is well satisfied with Brooks, but it is not true Brooks sways the multitude by virtue of the fact that he is not a Brooks. It remains for Frank R. Kent to disguise this secret. Brooks, known as the Presidential valet by Mr. Kent, has been known of for years by the colored population of Washington as Major Brooks, of the White House. That was all that was given. It was given to him by the Military Aide the Purnice Attache, or the Bath Room Steward—simply Major Brooks of the White House. At one time I believe Mr. Brooks was the commanding officer of the First Separate Battalion of the District, and having been retired, still retained the title. If what Mr. Kent says about Major Brooks is that Major Brooks will be installed from the apex of colored society in Washington. When it gets out that Major Brooks looks out for the Presidential clothing instead of being the Major Dome of the White House there will be some changes made. In Washington they squawk on a valet, a porter or any other kind of menial, and ten to one some folks have already drawn a line through the Major's name. It appears that Mr. Kent has unwritten on him the name Major Brooks' hit, the puy house. Henry M. Hyde, of the Sun, writes an article in the Monday Evening Sun, headed, "Mental Ability of the Negro Shown to be Inferior." He quotes several Psychologists. One was Dr. Peterson at Nashville, Tennessee, who in a test examined a number of white children and a number of colored children. The result was the Negro children were at least twenty-five per cent behind. Look Wax The Silver Spring Plea Literary ANNUAL FAMILY CAMBRIDGE Monday, September ON PALATION ST.

RATHBLOTT ARE CLEAR OF ALL INCUMBRANCES One of the crowning features of the land which is being sold at Mizpah, is that it is absolutely free and clear of all encumbrances. In order to verify and ascertain the correct status of the land, a number of prospective buyers employed Mr. Warner T. McGuinn, a reputable colored attorney, of Baltimore, to search the records, and he found that the titles were guaranteed by the Guarantee Mortgage and Title Insurance Company, of Newark, N. J., and that high references were given by the People's Bank of Philadelphia of Mr. Rathblott's just dealings. Mr. McGuinn was also employed by these prospective buyers to ascertain the standing of Mr. Rathblott, and he found that Mr. Rathblott ranks among the leading business men of Philadelphia and that the property was clear of all encumbrances. This is sufficient to the old "bunco" game a The majority of the pro others are buying daily. This is sufficient to show that there is none of the old "bunco" game attached to the proposition. The majority of the prospectors bought land and others are buying daily. A BIRD'S-EYE VIEW OF MIZPAH Mizpah is situated in so he says. "The fact that he is from Nashville, Penn, should disqualify him. Other than that he let us look at it from a different standpoint. Do you believe a white Professor acting as where colored and white children are concerned could give an honest decision, if it were against the white children? Personally I have not yet seen that white man."

I have steadfastly taken this position from beginning before the superintendent of the Hospital," Director Hines and the lamented President Houding." Thus spoke Dr. R. P. Moton in addressing delegates to the National Business League in Session here. Dr Moton added that he had previously, refrained from public statement, the sake of better race relations. He said nothing about whether the subsequent should be white or colored.

Newtonville is surround- ed within a walking distance of three railroad stations, with freight sidings, whereas Mizpah has two stations right on the property. All the streets in Mizpah are 50 feet wide, excepting the boulevards, which are 100 feet wide. It is a fact that in 1921 the town built a new and larger school. Since that time the growth has been so tremendous that a new school is being built now. Mizpah already has an Electric Power Plant and clothing factory, stores, post-offices, American Express, and a good many inhabitants.

Brown having filed. Hall and Porter are regarded as training with the same political interests. The politicians down in the 17th Ward evidently got cold feet about opposing Harry C. Horner for re-election as committee-main. They will have an opportunity to show their opposition, if any, they have to Horner by supporting Harrison W. Greenwood by supporting Charles W. Main, white, will have no opposition for re-election as committee-main in the Fourth District. Attorney General Alexander Armstrong will not be opposed for the Gubernational election. William C.

Charles "Eggie" Carr told the Afro-American Tuesday. "Since getting out of the service I have been in the garage busi- ness on Greenwillow street, and while agents have been to my place occasionally there has been no time when I have driven them or obtained any evidence, one oce- casion a chauffeur in my garage was called to take me out and and the to be answered in the manner as any other call would have been answered."

He had long been unable to give his attention to other prohibition matters.

President Organized Company 25 Years Ago Washington, D. C. Aug. 1923—An intensive campaign for new business in Maryland is to be made by the National Benefit Life Insurance Company of Washington, D. C. and to further this plan the stockholders, at a special meeting on Aug. 11, authorized an increase of the capital stock from $100,000 to $250,000. It is their aim to keep the company the greatest financial organization created, owned, and managed by colored men in the interest of the race. Twenty-five years ago the company was organized as the National Benefit Association by Mr. S. W. Rutherford, a young married man, who came to the National Capitol from Lynchburg, Virginia, to total gush capital with his but he was surrounded with untiring energy and faith. He gathered around himself a few loyal supporters and then hustled out after business. His office furniture consisted of a table and a chair. His salary was $35 a month and he had to earn it by selling policies, and collecting premiums, which he did by pedaling his way around the city on an But from that tiny beginning, by means of hard steady work, intelligent organization, and high-grade personnel, the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, officered and conducted entirely by colored people and developed by women and men, has grown into the large and commanding position which it occupies today, with an unbroken record of twenty-five annual dividends paid to stockholders, with 125,000 benefit-od policy holders, and $20,000,000 of insurance in force. Its assets are $75,000, including property in the District of Columbia and four states; a reserve fund of $461,592 in surplus of $100,000, and it has on deposit $26,150 for the protection of policy holders. To carry on its present business the company has a force of 1,200 employees in district managers, assistants, 40 local agents and 950 field agents. Its hope of becoming an Old Line Legal Reserve Company with a paid up capital of $100,000,000 materialized in 1918 when its name was officially changed to the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, a company that no other colored company has yet succeeded in entering. On more than one occasion it has successfully met competition of the largest companies; it issues a variety of industrial and ordinary policies calculated to meet practically every need to which humanity is owed and to assist its growth in a pathway in innumerable ways. It is the only company of its kind incorporated gross for the District of Columbia. NORTHW PHAR Penna. Avenue THE Pen For Rheumatism Notice, all you people who matism.

For whatever may eventually bring one within its protecting holds the National Benefit of the Insurance Company, it must disappoint them. This is the basis upon which the business is sought. It is realized that the company has come to stay longer than any of them; possessed of a perpetual charter, (like the brook), goes on forever. It is an educational factor of the highest value in business and is destined to widen and heighten the unfolding of time with the increase of its business, policy holders and assets. The steady growth of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company is a testimonial to the faith industry and loyalty of the employees, who entered into the work with an enthusiasm which knew no bounds. But the simple truth is that the mind is the greatest and successful business organization for the protection and benefit of the Negro race, was dealing with the gigantic forces of life and self-development for a whole people. Mr. Rutherford, following some inner guiding instinct, of faith, did not at the beginning realize himself the enormous power which he was calling into action, to help to bolster the credit and earnings of a great number for the protection of each individual in time of emergency or need. In a word, co-operation on a great scale with systematic organization and faithful attention to every detail. The National Benefit Life Insurance Company is now doing business in the District of Columbia and in the states of New Jersey, Rhode Island, Alabama, Kentucky, Virginia, Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and within a short time will open offices and establish an administrative force in the states of Tennessee, Kansas, Arkansas, Alabama, North Carolina and Missouri. As soon as the present stock issue has been sold, application will be made for license to do business in the states of Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, and Nebraska. The laws of the latter states require a capitalization of not less than $200,000 before license will be granted to do the several kinds of business now written by the company.

Issues Appeal On Eve of National Gathering NO MORE TAFTS WANTED Democrats Urged Also to Line Up Against Wilsons And Bryans New York, Aug. 23—On the eve of the National gathering of Nigerian independents and Democ- ratic League men, Wednesday February 1, Morton Civil Servi- cary Commissioner and leader of the city's colored Tammany forces is met the following statement: There are, in the Northern States, more than one million colored voters, the great majority of them being in the pivotal battle of the election. We have it in their power to decide the next Presidential election. Thus, they are presented with an unparalleled opportunity to serve their race and their country. In order effectively to exercise their power, they must die in duty which the possession of such power imposes upon them, they must perfect an organization. Organization Necessary organized action on the part of racial groups or on the part of any minority group is ordinarily indefensible and constitutes one of the greatest evils which beset our nation. In the case of the colored American, however, such organized action is not only defensible, but necessary for the reason that the objection to the purpose of civil action are not to secure to the rights and privileges guaranteed him by the Constitution but not accorded him by the government. Two propositions have been demonstrated in New York City, that the colored American may win for himself political and civic equality by the intelligent exercise of his surrogacy and the complete prosecution of the colored American's claim to political and civic equality is not only right, but expediient and in the best interests of the people. Colored Democrats Outnumber Republicans There are in New York City, more than two hundred thousand and colored people. They enjoy the same political and civic rights and privileges that other citizens enjoy; and there is more than exists anywhere else in the United States. In politics, the majority of them are supporters of Tammany Hall. They support this political organization because of the fact that it recognizes no distinction as to race, creed or color. What has been done in New York in this respect can be done throughout the North. The fact that the number of colored people in the North is rapidly increasing makes it all the more imperative that those of us who are here should now take measures to safeguard the political and civic rights of our group. If we act now wisely and courageously, there can be no problem with the North the so-called problem. We must put aside all our party allegiances and resolve to support only those men who, in our judgment, if elected to office, would faithfully observe and protect all the rights of all the people without regard to race, creed or color. The spirit of intolerance in this country is momentarily increasing. We must put ourselves firmly against intolerance of every kind and character. A man who hates one race is an enemy of all races. Pit Race Interest Above Party Leadership in the organization which must be perfected, naturally must be assumed by Democrats and independent Republicans. The leaders must be men who have resolved whole-hearted and unselfishly to serve their race and their country. They must be prepared to make personal sacrifices. The purposes of the organization must be to secure, if possible, the nomination by both great political parties of whom self-respecting colored Americans can support. We must immediately serve notice upon both parties that colored Democrats will not support men of the type of Wilson, Bryan or McCadden, nor will colored Republicans support men of the type of Taft or Harding. Absolute jealousness and independence alone can ensure success to our organization. MIGRATION IS ENDORSED Cleveland, O.. Aug. 23—Sunday- school convention of the A. M. E.

J., Aug. 23—The "Les Jolies" one of the more exclusive social organizations of the shore and composed mostly of the younger teachers in the public school system, stopped to the front on Friday night at Fitzgerald's popular auditorium with as pretty a social affair as has been seen on these sandy shores for many an August night. The "affairs" crowd just right, nice cool evening, good music by Mrs. Violet Moore-Douglass and her band of splendid musicians, and the most brilliant assemblage that has graced Fitzgerald's so far this season. The seashore society has been dishing out its force. The big hall was beautifully decorated and that added with the handsome-gowned ladies, the King Tut patterns and various colored sandals and bandeaues prevailing, and their immaculate grooming. The hall that is typically characteristic of the shore at this season of the year.

Anderson, present pastor of Mother Beth in Philadelphia, and the former pastor for seven years of the local church, but a delegation of his church members of his church who visited St. James and took charge of the services all day. In the afternoon the choir from Mother Beth rendered a sacred concert that was enjoyed by a huge crowd and the church then Dr. Anderson delivered a stirring sermon at the morning service that was gladly received by his former members. Last Sunday was the biggest day so far this season at the shore. At least 25,000 people of the race from all over the country attended the service.

Voley says: "To the race of Negroes, the object of our extreme contempt, we owe our arts science and even the very use of speech." And with reference to the production of great men by the Negro——" Dixon was apparently unmoved. He responded with charming courtesy, his well modulated voice and even tones in sharp contrast to the bluster and hyteria of the other. "The belief that the history of the Negro began with his slavery in the New World, while popular, is highly erroneous. The black man, like the Aztec, was civilized when the dominant branches of the Caucasian variety were savages. You will remember, sir, that Herodotus, the Father of History, an eyewitness, distinctly mentions the black skins and woolly hair of the Egyptians of his day. In Book 11, Chapter 104, of his history he says: I believe the Colchians are a colony of Egyptians, because, like them, they have black skins and woolly hair, Aristotle in his 'Physiognomy,' Chapter VI, distinctly mentions the Ethiopians as having woolly hair and the Egyptians as being black-skinned. Count M. C. de Volney, author of 'The Ruins of Empire,' says: 'The ancient Egyptians were real Negroes of the same species as the other present natives of Africa.' A glance at the Sphinx or at any of the ancient Egyptian statues in the British Museum will confirm these statements. When I saw the statue of Amer- compet III, I was immediately struck by the facial resemblance to Jack Johnson. I have seen ge- robes here and in Africa with a strong resemblance to King Sai- huru of the Dynasty. By the light of modern research it does appear as if white-skinned human- ity got its civilization from black-skinned variety, and even its origin. Volney says: "To the race of Negroes... the objec- tion of our extreme contempt, we And yet in the face of all of these overwhelming facts things patent o even the most ignorant, you tell me the Negro is the equal of the breed of super-men—wonder- men—I represent? Really this child-like credulity of yours reachs the acme of absurdity. More than ever do I perceive a Negro is incompable of reasoning." And he caught for breath as he lolled back in his chair while a smile of satisfaction lit his fea- tures. The passenger, who had been idogging in his chair, now interrupted testily: "But what about the Negro's debased condition in the scale of civilization? Look at the millions of Negroes in Africa little better than gorillas! They are still settling their own flesh and blood, eating human flesh and carrying on their horrible voodoo! All of the white race is civilized and all the other races, to some extent. Consider the traditions of the white man and all it means! Look at the vast incomprehensible achievements of the white man, the railroads, the city skyscrapers, the edifices, the wireless telegraph, the radio, the ships of the air—yes, consider all the marvels of science. What has the white man not done? He has weighed the atom and the star with perfect accuracy. He has probed the uttermost recesses of infinity and fathomed the darkest mysteries of the ocean; he has challenged the lightning for speed and equalled it; he has competed with the eagle in the air and outstripped him; has rivaled the fish in his native element. In fact he has forced the lightning to force in Nature that he has not lent to his adamant will. He has excelled even the excellence of Nature. Consider, too, the philosophies, the religions, the enobling works of art and of literature. Has the Negro anything to compare? Has he anything at all to boast of "Nothing." Absolutely nothing.

Dixon, who has been listening patiently, was seemingly unaffected for he responded composedly; 'The white man's civilization is only a continuation of that which was passed on to him by the Negro, who has simply retrogressed. Civilizations', as Spiller has pointed out, 'are meteoric, bursting out of obscurity only to plunge back again.' Macedonia, for example. In our own day we have seen the decline of Aztec and Inca civilization. Of the early history of man we know nothing definite. Piror even to paleolithic man three might have been civilizations excelling our own. May the heart of Aric, explorers may yet unearth marks of some extinct Negro civilization on our own manner similar to the Assyria forgotten for 2,000 years, and finally discovered by accident under 40 feet of earth. For instance, the Chicago Evening Post of October 11, 1916, speaking editorially of the recent discoveries made at Nepata by Dr. Reisner of Harvard, says. 'To his amazement he found greater treasures of the Ethiopian past. Fragment after fragment was unearthed, at last he had reconstructed edifices of no less than 14 other Negro empires. Since the tombs of 14 other kings and 57 queens have been unearthed by the Reisner expedition. Among then is that of King Tirikauqa, mentioned in the book of Isaiah.

Rogers ries been such purely Negro civilizations as that of Uganda and Songhay, which were of high rank. Bous says in his 'Mind of Primitive Man' (here Dixon took out his note-book): 'As society of African tribes exhibits to our view cultural achievements of no mean order, the different kinds of activities that we consider desirable in the citizens of our country may be found in aboriginal Africa.' The passenger did not reply. He had narrowed his eyes, which, like two sils, were peering at Dixon fiercely. The latter, after a brief pause, returning his gaze, continued undauntedly: "Spiller also says: 'The status of a race at any particular moment of time offers no index to its inherent capacities.' How true has this been of Britons, Picts and Seets and Huns. Nineteen hundred and seventy years ago England was inhabited by savages, who stained themselves with weed, offered human sacrifices, and then practiced cannibalism. Nor is culture a guarantee against decay, or Greece did not have decayed. You unconsciously admit to himself may be sure the Roman had the same contempt for the savages of the North who finally conquered him and almost obliterated his civilization as have the self-styled superior peoples of today for the less developed ones. But these undeveloped peoples should not be despised. Nature, it most certainly appears, does not intend to have the whole world civilized to the same time.

Finot says that many biologists regard the Caucasian has having arrived at the limit of his evolution and that he can go no higher without danger to his overdeveloped brain. Undeveloped people like undeveloped resources, sir, are simply Nature's bank account." The Senator recidivist his slumps and went over to the water cooler and drink. He did not like to torque in this vein. Dixon's first assurance and well-bred air, too surprised him, and made him that here was a Negro different from his concept of that race, and not much different from himself after all. Yet his racial pride would not permit him to be out-witted by one he regarded as an inferior in spite of that "inferior" apparent intelligence. He would try the tactics best known to him—the same time, and more than that one usher successfully with Negroes. He would outface his opponent awe him, as it wore, his racial prestige. With this determination he returned to his seat and calmly seated himself. After a few leisurely puffs of a freshly-lighted cigarette he turned to Dixon, who had not moved, and in pretty much the same tone that a bullying lawyer would use to a timid witness, shaking an extended foreinger and gluing from under knitted eyebrows, he demanded: "Do you mean to tell me that you really believe the Negro is the equal of the white man?" That you think you are as good as a white man? Come on now, none of your theories." (To be Continued Next week.)

EVERY MAN WHO HAS LOST THE VITAL FORCE OF YOUTH MAY BE RESTORED Scientists Make Wonderful Discovery—Says No Man Under 100 Years Should Feel Old A new discovery is said to have been made by a scientific study of Serbian mountain people who scientists say, live longer than any other people. It is said this discovery should add many years to lives of people in all parts of the world and quickly restore many strength, youthful vigor, grace and beauty longe by neglect or abuse. Scientists agree that the secret of health 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, shallow complexion, loss of weight, poor memory, restlessness or night, pains, headache, malacno- despondency, etc., should disappear. It was brought to the attention of the Atlas Laboratories, who, after careful research, have such great faith in its restorative power that they have arranged to make it available to all. The treatment is put up in tablets, known as Vim-Ets, and is said to produce almost immediate results, first indications being implemen- ted in the form of a restorative sleep and restful sleep and return of youthful vigor. The results obtained by scientific tests were so wonderful the Atlas Laboratories have arranged for everyone interested in long life, youthful vigor and health to test it without the slightest risk. All you need do is send your name and ad- dress to the Department, Dept. 12, St. Louis, Mo., and they will send you a full-size box of Vim-Ets by mail under plain wrapper.

Be sure that the sugar you use for canning, preserving and jelly making is pure cane sugar. Beet sugar will not make good jelly. Clear, sparkling jelly is the result of quick work in boiling. Good green cane extracting the juice. The first juice which comes then the jelly bag will make the clearest jelly. It is better not to try to make too much jelly at one time. The wider the bottle the better because quick boiling means more juice. Heat the sugar before adding it to the juice or return boiling as much as if cold sugar were used. The sugar is heated in an oven after measuring. Grape jelly should be made before the grapes ripen. Strip grapes from stems and wedge in preserving ice for a very short time, just enough to prevent burning. Bring to the boiling point and boil rapidly until the skins burst open. Put in jelly bag and let drain over night. If grapes are cooked early in the morning, five or six hours will extract the juice, and jelly can be made the same day. Do not squeeze the jelly bag, as this will juice cloudy and the jelly will not be clear. Measure juice and return to the fire, firing quickly to the boiling point and boil 10 minutes. Add as many cups of sugar as there were cups of juice. Boil rapidly until "jels" when tried on a plate. MARY MARY As a bride of a year, I wish to express my appreciation of the woman's jane of Caper Weekly for the fine things I have gained from it. I offer this cooking hint: Berry pies will not run out and will be more delicious if you brush the powdered crust with egg white and let the moisture evaporate before filling the pie. This will keep it from being soggy. Mix two level tablespoons of flour with the sugar and add one well-heated egg to the berry filling.—Mrs. E. B Save the Juice for Jelly I save all the juice that is left from a day's canning, when I am in a quart, sometimes only a pint, and sometimes two kinds or three it does not matter. I strain it and boil it about 10 minutes, then seat it up. In the fall, when canning peaches, I always have a lot juice left, which we all will not make juice, so I compile it in equal parts and make the most delicious jelly I ever tasted—GRACE MOORE.

Heart Problems Answered by Annie Roney Answered by Annie Roney Undecided—Wait until the young man asks you if you love him, then behonest with him. In the meantime, treat him with courtesy and consideration, but do not encourage him unnecessarily. Mascara—The young man evidently loves you, and he has been very h onest with you. If you took the proper chaperone along, it would not be unwise to take the trip, but don't go under any other conditions. Dolly—You have made a mistake when you say you are in love with two young men. This is impossible. Tell them both frankly that, you care for their friendship, but that you cannot marry because you are not sure of yourself. Wait until you are really in love—you will know when you are—and you will have no trouble deciding. "I am a young woman 20 years old," writes Brown Eyes, "and have been married and divorced I am going with a young man whom I love very well. There are many people he cares for and again I think he doesn't. What can I do to win his love?" Black Eyes—"There is nothing you can do to force a young man love or attention. Simply be sweet and natural when you are with him and let nature take its course. TESTED BEAUTY HINTS.

For each cup of fruit use two-thirds cup of sugar, and hot water. Plums or other tart fruit may be used but pincapples seem to give the marmalade just the right flavor—MRS. JOE YOUNG.

My Luckiest Accident It happened yesterday, so while it is still fresh on my mind I shall tell you about it. I am no Ford specialist, although I can drive one. My sister and I were going to take the harvest hands to their farm in good time at 11 a.m., but try as we might we could not crank the Ford, and one was not strong enough to push while the other started it. We decided finally to set the gas and spark down, then push, and, when it started well, the car started, and we tried to get in, but as it gained, we lost out. That Ford ran then three pasture fencees, closed all the cattle, then into a plowed field and stack of barley, which it ran right then. We then pushed the car around it that it stopped of its own accord. It was lucky I did not leave my niece in it, lucky the car was not broken and no cattle killed. But it was luckiest of all that the car did not turn and chase us, for we were too tired to do it. FRIDAY THE 17TH GIVES NEW LIFE AND ENERGY.

I call you mine because, and mine only in the wonderful dream I have hidden way down deep in my heart where no one may see it or suspect. Even you have never guessed though you can hardly understand me. I can quite understand you and you will never know, as you will never see this letter. Seven long years have passed by since I first and last saw that wonderful smile that made me think of the glorious dazzling sunshine on a blue and gold September day and those brown curly locks as dear and dark as the deep browns on a bright moonlight night. But even though it is so long ago, I have only to close my eyes and I can see you again, just as you were in those carefree, happy school days. If our dreams are really answered as I am sure they are, you are still as happy as those golden things in life that really amuses, is what I have asked for you. For your happiness I would gladly give my own, even though you should know nothing of it. The philosophers say love is never wasted, but returns to the giver and makes life sweeter, but sometimes I realize how truly hopeless it is to keep on loving you this way. Then when the next beautiful sunny day comes along I forget all this and find myself still hoping that some day I may find you again and you will love me in the same way. I love you which is unto eternity. Yours forever. BILL, 716 Smith St, Norfolk, Va.

SOX TAKES SUNDAY PAIR FROM PHILLY Carter Holds Philadelphians To Six Hits In Opener, Which Is Won by Locals, 9-5 RECRUITS STAR IN SECOND Marshall Smith and C. Hayes Electrify Fans by Fast Fielding and Vicious Clouting The Black Sox had it "soft" last Sunday in comparison with the calliber of opponents they have had to face in Sabbath tilts during the greater part of the season the enemy being the Ascension nine of Philadelphia who were defeated 9-5 in the opener and 10-2 in the dowfall. Carter was on the hill for the locals in the opening session with Rojo behind the plate and had them breaking on each side of the plate with such baffling regularity that the visitors could connect safely only six times. Miller on the hill for the Phillies also baffled the locals for the first four stunzas. Then he was "located" the total summary of safe bingles he yielded being eleven. Bradley batting for Ferguson in the ninth hit for the circuit with one on. Mitchell hurled the nightcap and held the visitors to five scattered bingles, while the locals went on a batting spree and collected a total of 15 safe smacks off Plews. The stars in the swat line were Charlie Hayes and Marshall Smith two youngsters from Catonsville who were getting their first tryout with the Sox. Both hit safely three times out of four trips two of Smith's being doubles against the leftfield fence. Hayes played first-base and Smith third, and both made some sensational stops that electrified the fans. In the fifth Smith made the greatest stop and throw seen from the third position this season when he grabbed Costello's hot grounder on his bare hand side and threw the batter out. He also made a great nabbed of a foul jamb up against the left stands. Hayes accepted 10 chances around the initial hassock without a single miscue one of which was a sensational stretch and dip up out of the dirt of a low toss by Poles. Rojo who was catching this game also, twisted his ankle stealing and had to retire from the game. Clarke finished the game.

EYES OF FISTIC FANS will be on Kid Norfolk Friday night when he meets Tut Jackson at the Gayetey Theatre in a 12-round bout. This will be the first local appearance of the Baltimore fighter since he beat Jamaica Kid here two years ago. Since that time Norfolk has succumbed to the rabbit punch of Harry Wills and beat blazes out of Jamaica Kid, whereby he still holds the diamond-studded belt of Tex Rickard as light-heavyweight colored champion. THE BLACK SOX walloped the Ascension Club, white of Philadelphia, Sunday, in a double bill, and if they can make the same impressive showing against the Lincoln Giants and Brooklyn Royals in the games this week, they may get out of fourth place. EARL JOHNSON, "our Earl", has taken off his coat and started training for the fall games. Unless he is able to beat Willie Ritola and keep his five-mile championship, there is small chance of his going abroad with the next Olympic team. LOCAL BOYS AND GIRLS are getting in conditions for the AFRO Swimming Meet on Labor Day. Gold and silver medals and everything will be awarded to the winners, who will also hold the city championship for a year. RHETTA, WRIGHT, COOK and McCARD are representing Baltimore in the Tennis Tourney on in Chicago this week. They are hoping to win over Champion Brown and the Westerners. GIANTS CLAIM FORFEIT The City Giants journeyed to Annapolis last Sunday for a twin clash with the Parole A. C. The first game ended in a dispute with the home team on the long end 6-4. The argument arose over the number of innings that had been played. Manager Taylor of the Giants who was keeping score for his team claimed that only eight innings had been played and the score keeper of the Parole team was just as positive that nine had been played. Manager Taylor says he conceded the point in order to get his end of the purse but claims the game forfeited. The second game ended in a tie 5 all, in the seventh on account of darkness.

Hubbard on the hill for the Royals in the opener, held the Giants to five hits while Holland and Streeter who tossed for the latter yielded an even dozen. Streeter again essayed the pitching peak for the Lincolnins in the curtain clash and strut his stuff to such perfection that the hard-hitting purple clan connected only three times during the nine frames.

HARTLEY-HELLYER has lived in Baltimore City for more than 45 years, and has made a specialty of treating Catarrch, and diseases of the ear, nose, throat and lungs dings Residence, 1204 West Fayette Street Office house, 8 to 10 m, and 6 to 8 evenings Sox Owner Thought They Had Signed Kid Norfolk For A Bout WAXMAN GETS BUSY Cayety Manager Gets Norfolk's Name To Contract First COMING BOUTS Friday — Gayet Theater, Kid Norfolk vs. Tut Jackson. Monday—Maryland Baseball Park, Kid Nolan vs. Battling Goodman and 34 pounds of boxing. Messes, Charles Spedden and George Rossiter, owners of the Black Sox ball team and the Maryland Park, were up in arms this week over what they regard as one of the dirtiest deaths that was ever put over on an unsuspecting public. Not that they have set out on a knight cerrantry in defense of the public in general, but that they are also—and more so—the victims of the dirty deeds the team in question shows at Maryland Park with Kid Norfolk as the main attraction. The Black Sox magnates decided that since none of the boxing promoters around town had staged any attraction for colored patrons for the past two years or more, put on a show with colored boxes to embellish this long-desired sporting mouset. No sooner had they made their intentions known than Max Waxman, who promotes lights among white scrappers hereabouts, and thus having more knowledge of the boxing catch hold of must to secure the sanction of the best boxing commission, grew suddenly green eyed and dog-in-the-mangerish, according to the Mayday and Park owners, and got in touch with Leo Flynn, manager of Norfolk, who said he would just about one hour ahead of Musses, Steadden and Rossiter. Cress Simmons, who is handling the business end of the boxing programs of the Maryland Park owners, received a telegram from Flynn on Saturday night for Norfolk, with either Kid Nolan or Battlegood. He also received a letter from Norfolk on the 12th stating that he would accept the preintime Waxman had pulled his strings, and on the 13th, Simmons received a telegram from Flynn stating that Norfolk would meet Tut Jackson under Waxman's promotion on the 22nd, just five days previous to the date on which the Maryland Park promoters had hoped him. Messrs. Spedden and Rossiter, however, are not peeved so much over the fact that Waxman beat them to the bout—they are too good sports for that, realizing that such maneuvers are a part of the game—what makes them hot under the collar, the quickly attitude of Waxman in pumping in to stage a colored bout simply because they had started the move, although he had plenty of opportunity in the past to stage such bouts for colored patrons. They frankly admit that they would like to know if colored fans are going to stand for this sort of thing. To be outside, they have booked a another card for Monday night, which carries all the cermarks of being a real fistic foast. It will comprise 54 rounds of milling and will bring together the following battles: Kid Nolan vs. Battling Goodman, 12 rounds (heavyweights), an eight- round semi-wind up between Seattle, Kid the crack local scrimper, and 8 rounds; Alentown Joe Gans vs. Jim Booker, 8 rounds (430 pounds), and a 6-round opening preliminary, the boys yet to be secured.

Jack Kearns, according to a pretty reliable tip, will attach his name to a contract for a match with the Negro champion, and the Boxing Commission, which has been giving the impression that it would prefer to gracefully sidestep passing on the unpatented bout, will be forced to declare itself. Jack Kearns, it is understood, is no longer insisting on a guarantee, whereas hereofore, the champion's manager is said to have demanded a guarantee of 4500,000 when promoters tried to talk business concerning a match with Harry Wills. Now, however, the tip is out that Kearns wait to the cash guarantor, since the promoter will be in a position in a few days to flash the signed contracts of Dempsey and Wills on the Boxing Commission. Just where such action will lead is a big question. Jack Kearns, who is now in town on a more or less mysterious mission, simply reiterates that Dempsey is ready to meet Wills within three weeks after the Pirjo match. Have you ever insisted on a guarantee on manager deletes Kearns, "All I ask of the promoter is an assurance from the Boxing Commission that there will be no interference if the match is arranged. Simon Flaherty is making strong effort to sign up Dempsey, but the tip out is that when the important papers have been signed the Cromwell team will be found the Yankees led the big bout for the Yankee Stadium. SOX PLAY AT HOME The toughest weekly schedule that the Black Sox have faced this season is on tap this week.

The first mentioned game will be staged at four o'clock each afternoon. Last week the Sox won four and lost two as follows: won from Wilmington Monday, 9-2, Sunbury, Pa.

Without asking for collateral, Mullins advanced several loans to get him over the tight places and he told the challenged lighter who the challenging Jack Dempsey that he could pay it back when he got it and he need not be in a hurry to get it. For that reason, Harry Wills is sticking to Paddy Mullins and insisting that Paddy get the manager's cut of the purse that he may get for the championship. Now the wolves of Broadway are tumbling over each other trying to steal Wills away from his friend and manager. They point out that Paddy is a man of the old school who considers his work as good as his bond and considers the words of others as the name. They argue that Paddy is too easy and that if Wills has an aggressive manager, he would have a shot at the title before this and would be "better off by about a quarter of a million." To which Wills replies; "Paddy and I are going right along together. He suits me." Wills has never told the story of why he's going to stick to Paddy and "Old Paddy" never talks, but a friend of the big colored steed-dore says that Wills will never cut away from the man who put a hand out to him when he needed money more than he ever will ANOTHER CHAMP ANOTHER CHAMP New York, Aug. 23—in the Metropolitan junior championships held here Saturday. Cecil Cooke, who carried the colors of DeWitt Clinton's relay team for the past two seasons, won the 440-yard championship, in a style that well befits a sturdy athlete. His time of 51-3-5 seconds is the most remarkable, turned in for the dime in the past five years. He is a massive fellow, well over six feet, and weighs 210 pounds. Three times during the last fifty yards he fought off the advances of Clarence Sherman, white clubmate of the Robret Ogden A. C. and won by five yards.

Much interest has been manifested throughout the country by the publication in THE AFRO-AMERICAN of the interview with Senator Bruce, which sets forth his program for the suppression of lynching. The "Baltimore Sun" ends a three-quarter column editorial by suggesting that Maryland, the Senator's own State, set an example by leading off with the proposed legislation to end lynching. Commenting upon this, as well as the Senator's stand against the Ku Klux Klan, the "New York Times" says editorially, "By such frank and explicit utterances Mr. Bruce confirms the good opinion of those who maintained last year that his election would be an honor to the State of Maryland and a strong enforcement of the United States Senate." In all material points the proposed Bruce legislation would follow out the provisions of the Dyer Bill, the difference being that such legislation would be under State instead of Federal enactment. There will of course be some misgivings on the part of those who realize that there have always been on the statute books of the South sufficient laws to stamp out lynching if properly enforced as are upon the statute book of other sections, and that the point of enforcement is the vital one, while on the other hand there are those who will see the obvious advantage of creating local sentiment backed by a rigid law in each State against this most barbarous of all American customs. There is one thing certain, and that is, lynching and mob violence must go, and if a situation has developed whereby the States see the wisdom of stamping it out themselves, the work of those who sponsored the Dyer Bill has been all the more effective: The EDITORIAL PAGE of THE AFRO-AMERICAN The FORUM This column is open to readers.

Dr. Brengg To the Editor: I do not believe that those of us commonly called our leading men, rightly appreciate such men as the late Henry Winter Davis and Senator William Catbell Bruce. How are we ever to increase the number of real white friends, like those mentioned, by a failure to let them know that the advanced people of our group are one with them in the maintenance of ideals, of ideals, of criticism and abuse which we are wont to bestow on our white adversaries amount to nothing. But on the other hand, if we show an equal amount of zeal in the support of our white friends who take high ground in such matters we would sooner attain the equally serious a one to be happily and vulgarly discussed. We need to argue it on a higher and more exalted plane. Suffer a quotation from the late Rev. Alexander Crummell, from an able address before the church congress, in Buffalo, where he was awarded one, but it made no difference to the able author. Dr. Crummell said in part. When I speak of the spirit of democracy I have no referer-self-sufficient spirit which derides God and authority on the one hand and crushes the weak and helpless on the other. The democratic spirit I am speaking of is that which upholds the doctrine of humility spirit which recognizes manhood in all conditions; which uses the State as the means and agency for unlimited progress of humanity. This principle has its root in the Scriptures of God, and it has come forth in political society to stay. In the political society it has been distorted and exaggerated, and without doubt it needs to be chastised, regulated, and sanctified. But the democratic principle in its essence is of God, and in its normal state it is the consummate flower of Christianity, and is irresistible because it is the greatest demand is the equality of man in the State, irrespective of race, condition or lineage. The answer to this demand is the solution of the race problem. In this land the crucial test in the race problem is the civil and political rights of the black man. The only question now remaining among us for the full triumph of Christian democracy is the equality of the Negro. Nay, I take back my own words. It is not the case of the Negro in this land. It is the nation which is on trivial. The Negro is only the touch-stone. By this black man she stands or falls. If the black man can not he free in the land, if he can not treat with firmness every pathway to preferment and superiority, neither can the white man.

YOU CAN EXPECT ANYTHING NOW WHITE COLORFUL PEOPLE USE RE ENTRAIN Now that President Cool Slemp, of Virginia, the lily-anything can be expected. will see to it that only those that are likely to appeal to a of heaven is a big plantation DAY BY DAY Now that President Coolidge has appointed Bascom Slemp, of Virginia, the lily-white and patronage seller, anything can be expected. As private secretary, Slemp will see to it that only those matters get to the President that are likely to appeal to a Virginia colonel, whose idea of heaven is a big plantation and lots of Negro slaves. In the last midnight meeting of a class of girls leaving a well-known Southern college sometime ago, one of the members sent an unusual thrill through the gathering. Each girl was telling their life plans when this young woman gave to the one ambition of her life to give to someone it would at least one man record according to her ideals. "I shall not marry," she said, "merely to live in luxury, nor to obtain social position, or merely to satisfy my own love ambitions; but I shall marry a father for my children and I shall think and act into them the manhood and idealism my experience has fashioned." It is a piece of ambition that any young woman on the threshold of life might think seriously about. He shummed the political door of hope in the face of the Southern Negro. This is the only interpretation that can be placed upon the first important act of President in his appointment of BX-Con-1 to the White House secretaryship. Taken especially with the timely tendency of the new President to delegate more power to subordinates, this appointment is fraught with sinister torchbending as to what he should do to the leadership role for the next two years at least. A lily-white of the deepest dye, and a known sponsor of the program to build up a Republican party in the South by relegating the activities of the Negro, Mr. Slemp's appointment sets the final seal on the plan to unify the party out of contests of this fierce party. It was to be expected that Coolidge, coming from New England, would make some gesture to the South to offset their attitude towards the fairness of this section, but it was no thought that the pendulum of politics is politics, and President Coolidge's advisers have their eyes on 1924 delegates. Sleep may be expected to round them up in the South, while Wall Street and the interests, whose favor he already has, will do their duty in the East and North. But what move will Link Johnson, Robert Church, Walter Cohen and other stalwarts now make. Is there still a possibility that something may fall to keep them still in the ranks? Daily news items continue to register the constant spend of prejudice. In St. Louis segregation has openly raised its head and the Board of Renters have established permanent Negro and white zones. The lack of cleavage become more clearly defined, while in Detroit old residents deplore present conditions as contrasted by bygone days. In New York a racial deadline has been struck at 120th street, with an understanding that anyone will clearly recognize that tries to enter places of amusement above that line, and the Recreation Department of Philadelphia has put a ban on mixed games of amusement. And thus the dragon of hate and despair creeps slowly out of the South. Some help should come to our august statesmen at Washington when now and then forget personal interests long enough to consider domestic problems of government from noting how some of the lower animals have succeeded where we have failed. Take Mr. Bee, or Mr. Ant, for instance. If left to themselves bees govern themselves without internal strife under laws that work with absolute justice. Every bee who works, (and by the way they all work), gets a square deal in the distribution of the product of their toil. There is no unequal distribution of honey in such a way that some have too much and some none when cold winter comes. They have the proper respect for Mrs. Bee, and show it by providing her with ample time and sustenance with which to perpetuate the species and they do not thrust their under- One Woman's Ambition Appointment The Creeping Government industrial greed in order that grown up bees may gorge themselves with honey. They build their homes with almost unremainder precision not as means for collecting unearned toll of their fellow beings, but as dwelling places of comfort and protection. And bless your soul they are all happy, happy and pleased enough to be happy. And all of which is more than we can say of this man governed world. Old Timer Nearly Hits Geo.

"Who is to blame for this?" asked the reporter. "I'm not a-gwine put all the blame on the Demmycrats this time you can bet yore last bottom dollar," said O. T. carnestly. "We've got a lot of culd doctails in Baltimore who are gallivantin' 'roun' in autymoheels bought out of culd patients' money. Now, these doctails should get bizzy through their organization and tried to land that sooper-intendency for some culd doctail. No, they didn't want it themselves and the culd doctail and nusses were seen at Henryton.

This term was applied to the highest ranking Negro officials in Washington who handed themselves together as advisors to the President upon all matters affecting the Negro race. Although made the butt of ridicule and coarse ralliance, nevertheless, the black cabinet is calculated to render valuable racial service. The President seeks advice from persons in high official station who are committed to the fortune of the Administration. It is but natural that he will turn to his highest ranking Negro appointees for special advice touching the class with which they naturally supposed to be most familiar. They have the rudest access to the ruling powers, and if they be men of probity and race loyalty, the public interest of the group might well be intrusted in their If on the other hand, our Negro officials be merely self-seeking, politicians, willing to trade and barter upon the rights of their people, then their disservice might result in incalculable damage.

Alas, too often this is the to his white lord and master; In politics the power behind the throne is often more effective than the power on the throne. The real political boss rarely holds office. The very fact of official restraint weakens his manipulatory control. The boss of Tammany Hall never takes office. The Negro is poor, and must make his livelihood directly from his political activities. Rarely indeed can he direct the forces from an independent basis. He must look for favors to the big white boss to whom he is but a second lieutenant. Alas, too often this is the burden of his appeal to his white lord and master: Nothing but gaff have I to give; Nothing but gaff shall I receive. Theodore Roosevelt, with his Brooker T.

The group must have a political spokeswoman who officials do not command the appreciation of the race, then the Administration feels for the race upon whose advice and council it can availably leads to fortunate factional animus, the referee possesses transcending talents, like when the appointed officials sign to a court in the general scheme. Shall the "National referee dictate the Negro's political welfare institution?" We shall have no wait and see. Political Leadership, North and South All of our national political leaders have the mass of the people are there. While no practical effect upon the election, yet the South exercises a larger measure of mercy, and thus becomes a controlling factor. Negro, as often as not, heads the delegation states to the national convention. Hence national committeeman from Georgia, and thus as a trustee of the Republican party, can hope for like leadership in his organization lead the orchestra but is permitted to play the third fiddle. He must aspire to national leadership of the race must be required to show credentials of local politician is very anxious to eliminate the place in any political organization. This is purpose of the lily whites. Negro and Louisiana. Mississippi and South Carolina a primary factor in such Republican politics. Everywhere else he is only a secondary no immediate prospect that the Republican the far southern states except as office-maker in national conventions. No good reason why the Negro should not power that rests wholly upon the political population. From his point of advantage, the South still has the upper hand of his power for national leadership of the race.

Theodore Roosevelt, with his keen political sagacity selected, Booker T. Washington, as the political referee and spokesman of the race or in plainer terms, the Negro's political boss. He was above the necessity of office. His standing before the world did not rest upon a political foundation. His genius and his accomplishments lay entirely in a different field. And yet he was the single, solitary member of the race who could have been thus utilized to the general good of the cause. The Negro group must have a political spokesman. If the ranking Negro officials do not command the appreciation and approval of the race, then the Administration feels forced to select some individual upon whose advice and council it can rely. This inevitably leads to unfortunate factional animosities, unless forsooth, the referee possesses transcending talents, like Booker T. Washington, when the appointed officials are glad to submit to his superior position in the general scheme. Shall the "Black Cabinet" or the political referee dictate the Negro's political welfare under the new Administration? We shall have a wait and see. Political Leadership, North and South? Hitherto all of our national political leaders have come from the South. The mass of the people are there. While the actual franchise has no practical effect upon the election, yet the Negro politician in the South exercises a larger measure of control over party machinery, and thus becomes a controlling factor in his State or locality. The Negro, as often as not, heads the delegation from the Southern states to the national convention. Henry Lincoln Johnson is national committeeman from Georgia, and stands out conspicuously as a trustee of the Republican party. No Northern Negro can hope for like leadership in his organization. He can never lead the orchestra but is permitted to play only the second or third fiddle. Those who aspire to national leadership of the race might reasonably enough be required to show credentials of local control. The crafty white politician is very anxious to eliminate the Negro from controlling place in any political organization. This is the declared policy and purpose of the lily whites. In Georgia and Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina, the Negro is still a primary factor in such Republican politics as prevails in those states. Everywhere he is only a secondary factor. There is no doubt that prospect that the Republican party will function in, the far Southern states except as office-monger and as unpredictable factor, in national conventions. There is no good reason why the Negro should not hold on to the form of power that rests wholly upon the political aspiration of the black population. In the past, the vantage, the various Negros in the North for national leadership of the race. Losing Out In The Civil Service When Theodore Roosevelt was Civil Service Commissioner, the Negro had a fair show for clerical appointment on the basis of tested merit. But laterly the Civil Service is so manipulated that the black man is all but excluded. I entered the government service as result of civil service examination in the good old Rooseveltian days. But how the applicant is required to submit his photograph, and is left at the mercy of the head of the bureau to which he is certified. By such insidious means the race is being excluded from the government. I want to call attention of the N. A. A. C. P, the Equal Rights League the Race Congress and other political and civil rights race organizations to look seriously into this matter. First let them quietly investigate and determine the facts. Let them study the insidious methods and devious devices which this free government of ours adopts to eliminate its own loyal citizens from their proper participation in the civil service. Let them bring this whole question to the attention of Congress and of the country. Let them begin his investigation without too much noise and flare of trumpets. It will not be necessary to call on the Federal troops to enforce this right. The several civil rights organizations have recently issued a concurent of their purpose to work in harmony. Let them begin on this worthy task. Let no one hasten to get in the limelight ahead of the rest. I call on the N. A. A. C. P. the leader of the group, to begin at once I call upon the Race Front Conference organized for just such purpose to arouse the constituent organizations to the importance of this task. Unless this newly formed union of organizations shall shortly show some constructive results of united action its efficiency and usefulness will be seriously questioned. Leadership in this movement should be conferred upon James Weldon Johnson. Lo. I have told you. The New Administration The Negro race is anxiously waits commencement of racial policy by the citizens are asking who shall start hand of the Administration onage.

In past forty years candidates for the Pres. gullible Nero with flattering pre-election filament bore bitter fruit. Extravagant expiration have been quickly followed by wild. This has been the undeviating experience. The lure of campaign promises have deceive renniums. Naming politician might well rely upon the Nero voter. But Mr. Coolidge enters up commitment. He presents to the public a carte bled "conscience" written at the top. This intention should be presented to the President the direct," the political boss, or the civil right some other influential agency, the practice Nero expects his administration to do. The Negro race is anxiously waiting and watching for some clear announcement of racial policy by the Coolidge administration. The politicians are asking who shall stand at the right and who at the left hand of the Administration for the distribution of Negro patronage. For the past forty years candidates for the Presidency have appeased the guilful Negro with flattering pre-election promises whose unfulfillment here bitter fruit. Extravagant expectations and fulsome haudation have been quickly followed by wild denunciation and abuse. This has been the undeviating experience from Harrison to Harding. The lure of campaign promises have deceived the Negro for ten quadrenniums. The cunning politician might well rely upon the eternal gullibility of the Negro voter. But Mr. Coolidge enters upon his office without commitment. He presents to the public a carte blanche, with only the word "conscience" written at the top. This is our hope and expectation. There should be presented to the President through the "black cabinet," the political boss, or the civil rights organizations, or some other influential agency, the practicable things which the Negro expects his administration to do. This should be done with common understanding, so that one delegation should not discredit or discount the other by conflicting claims and presentations. The Negro is in a better strategic position under Coolidge than he has been for a long time, if he will only use the opportunity wisely. THE NEGRO SANHEDRIN The preliminary arrangements for the Sandhri have been all but completed. Slight touches here and there will be necessary to meet certain suggestions which should be announced from an earlier date. The announcement by the committee may be looked for immediately after the summer vacation.
