Afro Readers Are Invited To Contribute To Christmas Cheer Of City's 13 Neediest Families "COTTON KING" IS CONVICTED Following its custom of previous years, the AFRO publishes today the list of 13 opportunities giving its readers the chance to bring the city's thirteen neediest families something of joy on Christmas Day. As usual, contributions may be made directly to the AFRO-GLOBAN, 128 N. East street or on the Family Welfare Association in Pennsylvania, anytime. 18 1st Needient Case the father of this family received an injury to his leg and is so suffering as there are eight children to be provided for. The mother does her share but because of the young baby is unable to carry more than one more cat for them all properly. $25 is needed to help out. 2nd Neediest Case Little Sally is unable to attend school regularly because she has not the proper clothing. Her mother is a widow and there are other children to be cared for. Sally is anxious to keep up in her girlhood, but she can be more helpful when she is older. It will provide a much needed pair of shoes. 3rd Neediest Case The father of a family of four, although willing, is unable physically attend the family. The wife also does her share, but the two younger children are not getting the doctor says they must have. They are such fine youngsters, do you not wish to help them to be reared well? They have two quarts of milk daily for one mouth. 4th Neediest Case Joe's lungs were examined by the doctor and he was advised to go to a sanatorium. This was a heavy blow to Joe's health from a major operation and he did not know what would become of the four children, Stanley, 10; Gladys, 8, and John, 2. Grandmother P. was pledged to come to meet Joe and that they would be kept together. Joe gully went under treatment. Sara is slowly improving, but it will be many months before she is able to assume charge of Joe. Do you not wish to help us fulfill our promise to Joe? $5 is needed. 5th Neediest Case Mary is expecting the birth of her fifth child. The husband deserted her maternal in laws and ago and is now located in the fourth child. Harold, 16, is the main support, but his wage is not sufficient to cover her education. He cannot increase the family income until she has completed the necessary education. A fund to carry their through education will be received by the kindness of the mother. 330 is needed. 6th Neediest Case Ada is trying to keep her family together, but the struggle is pretty hard for both and injures her. Ada can afford half pay for many weeks. Ada scarcely cares for her own family. They have such a normal happy life it would be a pity the home he needs is so hard to care for. Any help of coal will help out a great deal. $20 is needed 7th Neediest Case Old Sally lives alone in the third story from which serves us her little domain. It is spotless clean and the Bible much worn from use, adorns the table. Sally is a widow of many years and sits by the window thinking of the son who has not been to see her in a long time, but she "knows" he will come soon and perhaps take her to his cozy home in the South. $5 will add much to her Christmas cheer. Bth Neediest Case John and Mary came to Baltimore from Canada five years ago. Mary was born in the United States she soon learned that her husband cared for another woman. Cruelly, then abandonment, she months without a word to the little family. A new baby is expected soon, but Mary hopes to return to native Baltimore. John believes in Santa and are so anxious that their stocking will not be overlocked. Boys are needed to make Christmas happy for them. 9th Neediest Case Harry, now 18 months old, has rickets. His diet consists of milk, fresh fruit, and vegetables, which his mother would love to get him. He earns income. The father is a day laborer and is earning all he possibly can because of lack of advantages when he was younger. Harry is the youngest of six and can be reared into a healthy youngster if he has a chance. 10th Neediest Case Baby Robert is unable to walk, although he is two years old. His parents are sickness and the health of the family was greatly undermined. When the parents protested but finally accepted it as a gift to rear her child into a healthful citizen. Improvement is slow, but not entirely. The good diet he will surely pull through. This costs only $3.80 a month, or for three months. Can you not help? 11th Neediest Case On one of the smallest streets down town lives baby Winifred. His drawn face allows effects of the white plague that raged through the town interfer. He is in the State Sanitarium but unfortunately there is not one for so young a child. The light therefore is greater. The mother is trying hard to rest, which is unable to get the man, which is necessary. $10.40 will provide one quart a day for three months. 12th Neediest Case Mary T., a woman 75 years of age, was stricken with heart trouble, and is unable to move about much. She has a necklace that she has the supreme faith that she will be cared for. Everyone who knows her wants a share in helping her to carry on. Her rent is $2.50 a week, or $10 a month. wish to pay this a while? 13th Neediest Case Durin, the influenza epidemic in 1918, Mary, now six years, lost her mother. Since that time the father boasted that he was a great grandmother who was devoted to her. Six weeks ago Mary's father became ill with pneumonia and is just convalescent. He now must get the sick diet and little Mary is often neglected for a while. Mary's daily diet is necessary to maintain her strength; or $3.80 a month.

VETERANS IN WOODS HOSPITAL Chicago, Ill., Dec. 13—Elbert R. "Doc" Robinson, 70 years old, disputed inventor of an improved railroad car wheel, has been sentenced to spend three months in jail and to pay a fine of $600 for threatening to shoot Deputy United States Marshall Sam Howard. The fight over Robinson's invention has raged for years. It is charged by some that he collected more than a million dollars, mostly from poor whites, the strength of what he was to get from the railroads for his invention. He was prosecuted. Hawkins is alleged to have killed his wife and bid her body in a cellar in August of 1920. He made his escape and after sailing practically around the world as a seaman he was captured in Portland, Maine and brought back to Baltimore by Detective O'Donnell. Hawkins is said to have killed his wife by a blow across the head with a window stick following a quarrel over a white man, and to have palyed solitaires as her life blood owed away. ITALIAN CAUGHT Louis Masi, 47, and Italian builder, was arrested Thursday by detectives and held for a hearing at the Italian Justice Station. He is said to have admitted holding up Mrs. Robinson last Monday, and making improper adoptions. He was also punished the attack three days later. Enroute to work 7 o'clock on Monday morning, while it was still dark, Ethiel Tobinson, 1511 Mosher St., was attacked by an unknown white autist, and her clothing torn from her body before she was able to free herself from his embrace and die. 7 o'clock Monday morning, while it was still dark, Ethel Robinson, 1511 Mosher St., was attacked by an unknown white autoist, and her clothing torn from her body before she was able to free herself from his embrace and flee. The attempted rage occurred on Hamilton Road and about one half of a mile from the Falls Road car line. Mrs. Robinson was on her way to the Crane home nearby and had reached a little neck of woods on the hill. Just as she was about to enter the roadway leading to the Crane residence she was halted by a white man in a car. She described her assistant as tall, and weighing about 150 pounds. He seized her, she said, without saying a word, clamped his hand over her mouth to prevent her screaming and began dragging her into the woods. It was still dark she said and she fought desperately to hold off the man who tore off most of her clothing in the struggle. Finally she succeeded in breaking his hold on her face and screaming aloud. Another sound sounded its horn and as the white man looked around Mrs. Robinson broke loose and run up the hill to the Crane home where she fell exhausted and reported the attack to her employer. Police were notified, but have not succeeded in effecting the man's capture. KILLS RIVAL ON STREET CORNER Following an argument when they met on the S.E. corner of Pratt and Caroline streets, Tuesday morning, William Murray, 425 S. Spring street, drew a pistol and fatally shot William Hudson, 1221 High Alley, said to be his rival. Murray made his escape but surrendered the European night to officer the European Police Station. He claims he shot Hudson in self-defense when the latter attempted to draw an alleged weapon from his pocket. Three shots were fired, killing Hudson almost instantly. NG" IS Tuskegee Institute, Ala. Dec. 10.—Although there are but few white persons remaining on the payroll of the United States hospital for disabled Negro veterans, the conditions under which the nearly three hundred colored employees are forced to live and work are obnoxious. Discrimination goes even to the matter of pay. White employees receive higher salaries for the same class of work. For instance, white stenographers not on the civil service register are paid higher salaries than colored stenographers who had to take the civil service examinations in order to get a strict citizenship is maintained. Communication with the Institute is practically cut off. The contents of telegraph messages are known as soon as they are filed. It is suspected that mail is even tampered with. Dr. Griffith, the commanding officer, is carkill in his administration of the hospital. He is carrying out the program of Colonel R. H. Stanley, whom he succeeded. Those who dare speak out against conditions do so at the peril of the situation. However, information has finally got to Washington. The White House has been informed of these conditions. Several Congressmen are interested in the remedying of them, and another shift in the white personnel is probable. Alexander Hawkins, formerly of 628 N. Central street, went on trial in part 1 of Criminal Court, Thursday. Doctors Denied Quarters Within the Government reservation, segregation of and discrimination against colored doctors and employees are practiced to an extent not to be matched elsewhere in the Government service. White employees, without regard to the positions they hold, are living in the officers quarters. Twelve apartments and nine cottages provided for officers, are occupied by them. Everyone who have been replaced by colored officers in Government service are permitted to retain the quar- The chief engineer—a white man—occupies one apartment. The chief guard—also a white man, lives in a cottage. Neither of these employees is entitled to more than one room in the attendants' quarters. Two white stenographers have an apartment to themselves. On the other hand, the colored doctors and administrative assistants have been assigned the thirteenth room, although there are slight cottages empty. There are practically no conveniences in these quarters, and they must all share a community shower bath. Scarregation Imposed Separate toilets for white and colored employees are provided. There is also separate transportation service. In fact, separation of the white and colored employees is completely effected. WIFE SLAYER IS ON TRIAL ONE DELEGATE ALLOWED FOR EACH DIST.

Roscoe Simmons Presents Case The several state delegations chose Roscoe C. Simmons, president of the Lincoln League, to make the presentation of their case. The Georgia delegation, consisting of B. J. Davis; of Atlanta, and Dr. W. H. Harris; of Athens, later before their arrival. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Perry W. Howard and W. C. Matthews, of Boston, acted in an advisory capacity to Mr. Simmons. Makes Touching Plea The subcommittee held two sessions. At the morning session, Mr. Simmons spoke. Other speakers were Dr. George W. Cannon, of Jersey City, N. J.; Dr. S. D. Redmond, of Chicago; and National Committee M. L. Multivib, of Mississippi. In the afternoon, J. R. Pollard, of Richmond, Va.; Walter L. Cohen, of New Orleans, La., and Armand W. Scott, of Washington, D. C., spoke. The leading argument was made by Roscoe C. Simmons. It was in part as follows: "The political hope of the American Negro lies in the Republican party, and the hope of the political life of the Republican party lies in the Negro. "The crime of distranchisement as practiced against the Negro from its beginning in Mississippi in 1880 until this moment of my sorrow is not half so painful as this seeming desertion by the Republican party. The Democrats distranchised us, not because of race, color or previous conditions of servitude, but only and simply because, sirs, of our unbroken faith to the Republican party. Our principles of race or color are involved, but only the question of whether the Republican party is sectional or universal—whether its principles are still set in humanity or have reverted to expediency. "The Democratic party is a party of men, but the Republican party is a party of man. The genius and philosophy of our Government is based upon the idea that every element and every section of our country shall be represented in political parties as well as in the Congress of this nation. I ask and have a right to ask that the unit idea be maintained, and that the district under our flag is represented in the Congress of our nation, every such district should have representation in a Republican National Convention."

By Fraud TRIAL TAKES TWO DAYS Testimony Unveils Amazing Story of Chicanery and Sharp Business Practices James S. Williams, self-styled "cotton king" capitalist and persecuted philanthropist from the South, charged with defrauding John R. Gross well known local real estate dealer, out of $10,000, was found guilty by jury by the Criminal Court late Monday afternoon. liams, self-styled "cotton king" capitalist and persecuted philanthropist from the South, charged with defrauding John R. Gross well known local real estate dealer, out of $10,000, was found guilty by a jury in Part I of the Criminal Court late Monday afternoon. Williams' conviction followed a trial which lasted two days and which unfolded the most amazing story of financial chicanery and sharp practices ever heard in financial circles. In this story were given the details of how Williams, representing himself as a rich planter, driven from the south by pursuit and possessing around $200,000 in money, came to Baltimore and fleeced the very men who hoped to find in him "an ignorant rich planter from way down south." Jas. Williams The foundation for the alleged fraud with which Williams was charged was had, according to witnesses, when he came to Baltimore in April, 1922, and after exhibiting a roll of money said to have been in the neighborhood of $20,000 coupled with a story of persecution that made him appear as martyr and hero, began to invade the business life of Pennsylvania avenue with a unique advertisement scheme. For a number of years Williams (born known as the "cotton king of Georgia" because of his winning the yearly prize given by a southern cotton growers' association for the first bale sent to a foreign port such season. He won this prize from 1912 to 1919. This, he said angered his white neighbors and the rest of his life in the south was one tragedy after another. First his son was lynched and in his effort to save him he lost an eye. His wife was beautiful, and 'one night when she was asked to assist in a banquet at a white neighbor's house, she was taken ill and died suddenly. It was supposed that she had been poisoned. It was following this that Williams said he planned to pull up and leave the South. With 25 car loads of farm stock, furniture and produce, he started for Baltimore. According to his story when the whites learned he was coming away they concocted a plan to prevent it. They had a colored woman in the community to allegue a breach of promise and institute a suit for a large sum of money. Under this alleged breach of promise suit, his 19 year old daughter, who started out with a chauffeur, according to Mr. Williams, had her automobile attacked before they crossed the Mason and Dixon line and taken back to Georgia. Williams exhibited a five hundred word telegraph from her at the time and friends felt much sympathy for her. The alleged Williams' farm was 14 miles from Savannah, Ga., and he also said that he had a brother who was president in a bank in that city. With the $20,000 brought to Baltimore, Williams began making investments. It is known that he held interests in properties at 241 and 539 Hoffman street. There was also a house at 1115 Division street as well as his holdings on Pennsylvania avenue where he had his office. Gross Got Money From Building Aseo. On the witness stand John P.

The skit this week deals with the attempt of two knock-about young "bums" to pay a visit to the village, belle, and the efforts of her real "steady" to drive them off. But they never leave. The skit is merely ship-stick, but it is of the pollicking type with Moore a very reliable not especially in one scene where after the regular beat has him up, he goes over and explains to his partner with himself as the hero.

THE AFRO-AMERICAN SOUTH'S BIGGEST AND BEST WEEKLY CITY FOLK WILL MISS HEAVEN Congressman Dyer Tells Audience He Doubts Whether Many Will Ultimately Go There SCORES SENATOR BRUCE "Always of you Baltimoreans believe that you are going to heaven, but I didn't it," declared Congressman L. C. Dyer. (Rep.) Missouri, before a big mass meeting held by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People at Bethel Church, Sunday afternoon. "The fundamental law is to love God and love your neighbor," said Mr. Dyer. "Here in Baltimore, like many other places in the North, where these is no city segregation, peonage, lynching and the like, you are satisfied to sit down and not bother after your own affairs, not bother about the millions of your race in the South." National Association is the one organization capable of helping the race light for all and you have less than 200 members here where you ought to have. 10,000. Anti-Lynch Bill On House Calendar Congressman Dyer spoke of introducing his anti-lynching bill again in Congress where it is the first bill on the calendar. He also mentioned his tour this summer, speaking through the country to colored and white audiences under the auspices of the Association to create sentiment for the bill. "If a white man, can make this sacrifice," he declared, "why shouldn't you be willing to do your part." He added, "I am a Muslim, Pythian and in one of my endeavors I had all organizations but two, I would still hold my membership in my church and the St. Louis Branch of the National Association, Willard Allen, Grand Master of Masons and George Watty, head of the Pythians seated on the platform were urged to bring their retirement membership in the Association. Scores Senator Bruce "Cheap, two by four, peanut pollinator" were scored by Mr. Wyler, who said that the vote for Senator Bruce, a Democrat, to succeed ex-Senator Joseph L. France, Republican. Your political leaders probably got some money out of the transaction, and the first thing Senator Bruce did before he took his seat was to issue a statement that he is opposed to the idea of a new law that it would take the matter of law enforcement out of the hands of the state. "For thirty-five years the states have had the power to stop lynchings, and they have not. To date we have records of over 4,000 people lynched, most of them colored, and only 17 per cent of them are accused of rape or attempted rape. They have been lynched for everything under the sun, and are still being lynched. Why don't the states stop it. Some of those men who oppose the bill and your senator is one of them declare that the bill is unconstitutional and ought not pass. The dirty rewards, why don't they let the bill pass and give the Supreme Court a chance to act on its validity. "I do not say vote for Democrat or Republican. I say vote for the man who will do most for the race. I guess you see what you have done in electing Mr. France and turning down in Dr. France a man who stood shoulder to shoulder with me in this fight for justice." Walter White of New York Speaks Walter F. White, assistant secretary of the Association, who decharged he has one of the same names as the president, to belong to either race, told of the Association's victory in Arkansas where some 55 farmers were freed of the false charge of "organizing to fight white people after four years in the courts. He urged the city to sign petitions to President Coolidge, asking the freedom of the men of the 24th Infantry falsely convicted of the riot in Houston, Texas. To date he declared 3,000 have signed the petitions, and the number of arrests reaches 100,000, a audience will be arranged with the president. Between 300 and 400 joined the Association at the close of the meeting. Rev. Monroe H. Davis, local president, presided. BAPTIST Now!

War Department Says Prejudice Not Responsible for Lack of Negro Officers in Army Washington, D. C., Dec. 12—President there are only five colored officers in the U. S. Army today. Adjutant-General Robert C. Davis told the Afro-American today. General Davis' attention was called that the 1,000 colored officers who served in the World War had been discharged and only five Negroes now hold commissions. Appointment of colored men to take charge of the 9th and 10th cavalry and the 24th and 25th Infantry was suggested. Next going into the discharge of the World War officers, General Davis said. "The law provides that army appointments, except in the professional branches, shall be made in the grade of second lieutenant; first, from graduates of the United States Military Academy; second, from warrant officers and enlisted men of the Regular Army with at least two years' service; and third, from other classes of candidates, all between the ages of twenty-one and thirty years. "Further, the law requires that vacancies existing in the grade of second lieutenant must be reserved each year for the graduates of the military academy; any vacancies must be after the appointment of the graduating class at the Academy; an examination may be held for the purpose of filling such vacancies. These examinations are competitive and are conducted under the supervision of the various corps area and department commanders. "Such an examination was held last June and the qualified candidates thereof have just been appointed. The next examination will be held between April and June, 1921. Colored candidates may compete in those examinations. ALLEGED RICH "COTTON KING" FOUND GUILTY **Continued from page 1** for business reasons. He admitted that he had been attracted to the latter by his allied wealth and the stories he told about his persecution in the South. He believed him, invited him to his home, dined him and took him to the theatres. Then he said Williams spring a business proposition involving a large barn and partnership. He then borrowed $1000 from the funds of the Overture Building and Loan Association and in turn loaned it to Williams, taking as security a $120 bond, which they jointly locked in a safe deposit box at the Calvert bank in such a manner that neither could take it out without the knowledge of the other. This bond, Gross admitted on one occasion, stood that he had never read, turned out to be a bond on a defint New York concern not worth the paper on which it was written. It was on this fact that the suit for fraud was based. Williams Says Gross Got Money According to Williams, the whole transaction was not only known to Gross but the latter used this plan to himself get the use of the association's money, or the $10,000 alleged to have been loaned to him. Williams tested that he actually got only $2,200, and of this amount he said he had to pay back to Gross, $1,600 in "counsel fees." The rest of the money he said had been drawn out by him and immediately turned over to Gross because Gross said he wanted to cover up his accounts with the Christmas Savings Fund. One check for $2,000, which was made out to Williams but never cashed at any bank and on which Mr. Robinson, an official and associate in business with Gross said he had delivered in cash to Williams' church, was denied by Williams, who saw a penny of that $2,000, he said. Another check for $500 was brought to him and he was asked by Gross to cash it. Gross, he said, stood just outside of the hall to help him, and gave him $50 for his part of the transaction. It was $7,000 of the money al. l. to have been loaned him was used by Gross, he stated. Loose Methods Several humorous incidents showing the most ridiculous type of business methods practiced, were brought out in the trial. Gross under a rigid cross-examination by Atty. J. Stewart Davis, admitted that he had studied the law but had leaped $1,000 on a bond he had written. It was also testified that $2,400 had been at one time turned over in cash to Williams' chauffeur without even taking a receipt for some. Williams testified that Gross had suggested to him that some time he might marry his daughter and that he had given her a piece of jewelry. He expected that Williams will be given 5 years or more in the "men" Marriages, Births, Deaths Call VErnon 6016 Marriages, B Phone Notioe Marriages TASKER - BYRD - Vernon, 4, 100 Prestamum Street: Carrie V.

It was Mrs. Homer Wilson, a witness in the case, who had taken her husband to askk and not Mrs. Hines. As the results of a joke perpetrated by Mr. Armett Williams, of 1145 Myrtle avenue, Miss Dorothy Nicholson and Mr. Bernard Alexander, of 733 and 625 Dolphin street, respectively, have been quoted in the 7th of December issue of the AFRO-AMERICAN as being engaged. This statement is absolutely false and unfounded, and the parents of such child are not sure that neither of the children are over sixteen years of age, nor are considering any such steps, but are attending their school regularly.

'Signed,' Seventh Day Adventists throughout the world this week are having their annual Week of Prayer services, and a special program is being followed every night in all their congregations. Later in the Stratchel, pastor of the church, told his people this week that they should, in a special way, give thanks for the wonderland and signal blessings that has attended the preaching of their doctrines throughout the earth. Said he, in part: "Fifty years ago, against a single adherent of North America, 'Today more than half the membership is in lands beyond our shrines.' Adventists believe in the soon coming of the Lord. And pastor Stratchel this week urged his followers to "talk about the coming of the Lord, pray it, and make it the dominant thing in the Said the pastor. 'Let every tongue be loud, cry. Cone quickly Lord tests.'" Pastor Strachan told his flock that no man could long for the Saviour to come without this longing deepening and strengthening the spiritual life of his soul. "There is no mistaking the hour," said the minister, "tis almost time for the Lord to come, the world dismayed and scared, and won't be able to longer bear the strain put upon it by wicked men." Most of Pastor Strachan's followers will, during the month of December this year, sacrifice an entire week's wage in money in order that the missionaries of the church might bastion on with their training corners of the earth where they have never yet been heard.

Brunnel, who departed this life December 1988, people called sad memories of a loved one gone to rest. And the one who thinks of him today. Is the one who loves him best. Some may think that I forget you, but I remember more. But in memory you are with me. As you always were before.

Y. Courts Frequent clashes between counsel and principals in the celebrated Wheeler will case marked the brief hearing in Circuit Court before Judge Gorter Monday morning. In the course of the trial, Warner T. McGuinn, with Clark L. Smith, attorney for Mrs. Mary Powell, of Atlantic City, aged sister of the deceased barber and plaintiff, remarked to W. Ashieh Hawkins, counsel for Mrs. Mary Wheeler, the defendant. "I have always treated you with respect, and I do not propose in this case to be browbeaten or threatened." Mrs. Wheeler and her sister, Mrs. Georgine Kelly Smith, engaged in a verbal tilt with Clark L. Smith after the case was over in the court room. Mr. Smith was heard to say, "If you don't shut up, I will see to it that you are put where you belong, and you know I know where you belong." Judge Gorter rapped smartly for order. Demandants, who are charged with having lured the wealthy barber to Poughkeepsie, New York and gaining possession of his car through a death-bill, will asked that the plaintiff's injunction be dissolved, the receiver dismissed and that Mrs. Powell be taxed for the expense of bringing witnesses from Poughkeepsie here for the trial. Judge Gorter denied all of these prayers, but announced that the plaintiffs were willing for the appointment of W. Ashie Hawkins as a co-receiver to act with Wm. L. Fitzgerald as guardian of the property until the case is finally settled. The judge declared that the case would take a week for trial and under the exciting circumstances, it would be best to await the outcome of the case in Laughkeepsie, where Mrs. Powell has filed suit to declare the death-bed will null and void. By a former will Mr. Wheeler is declared to have left his wife only one-half of the estate, the balance going to his aged sister. The new will cuts off his sister with only $50. The sister in her suit to break the will claims that it was obtained through fraud and undue influence at a time when Mr. Wheeler, according Kendlers ICE CREAM The Velvet Kind [THE SIGN OF A HENDRICK DEALER] Announcement Conforming with our custom of the past twelve years, we will again furnish ice cream, free of charge, on Christmas Morn to the children in all orphanages and child-caring institutions in the city.

Baltimore Street Call VErnon 6016 to the testimony of hospital authorities, was incompetent. Mrs. Wheeler, not only obtained possession of the estate, but transferred it to her sister, Georgine Kelly Harris Smith and was on the point of selling some of the real estate when halted by Mrs. Powell's injunction. As matters stand now the estate will be held by receivers under the order of the court until the status of the death-bed will be fixed by New York Courts. Barber Arrested Frank Arlington, 44 N.

Many people suffer attacks which later develop into "PLL" and pneumonia through more intelligence or because they know too much or care too little, to take the advice of people who know much more than they do. Some cities report that nine out of every ten persons are affected and the doctors claim that something must be done to accelerate the distribution of Double Strength Herbs of Life among suffering people so that the increasing death toll may be arrested. Hospital authorities and doctors are absolutely amazed at the way Double Strength Herbs of Life so quickly act in cases which seemed almost hopeless. They claim that Double Strength Herbs of Life, if taken nin time, will take care of the most serious case, and a full treatment of six bottles invariably does the work. The most serious case will respond to a full treatment of Double Strength Herbs of Life. On account of the great demand for the medicine, the factory is going night and day to cope with the situation, and the 111 branches of the company through the United States and Canada are doing their almost to supply their orders as fast as they receive their quota or supply from the Home Office of the Company in California. The Baltimore Branch also distributed 50 car-boats of Heels of Life last week, and yet was unable to supply several drummers, so if your druggist cannot supply you, rest assured that he cannot get it. At this time we wish to call your attention to the fact, that many unscrupulous manufacturers are offering to the public a substitute for Double Strength Herbs of Life.

Her Self Defense "Judice," said Mrs. Melissa Maddox, 1924 McCulloch street, after she had given her side of a neighborhood light in which she had used about all the words known by sailors to express their temper by storming. She was seated for a hard portion of the room of Mrs. Stella Myers, 922 Druid Hill avenue, "ain't that some self defense?" "No," answered the Magistrate, "that's $1.75." Mrs. Maddox was taken back as Mrs. Myers, since she made contact with the brick wielded by her adversary.

When she finished testifying against him Sunday morning there was no way to keep him out of jail. She ended her plea, "give him three months at least," and the Magistrate sent him down for action of the Grand jury on a charge of non-support.

"Why Judge, I did not even know I had that pistol" answered Calmley, about 60 days in the House of Correction to find out that he had it. Preacher Makes Collection When George J.

He was indicted by the Grand Jury Monday, when the police department took his case directly to that body over the Coroner. The grand inquested Eanton's plan of self-defense, which was questioned his freedom before the copper. In a signed confession to the police, Brewer admitted the shaying, and told of the events leading up to it. He and Eanton, he said, played poker together on the morning of November 28, 19:30. Brewer said he won steadily until he also had $7 with which Eanton had started to pay his When the game was over Erewer laid on one of the tables his total winnings amounting to $& and began to count it. This was too much for Banton, who snatched the money, and running behind the bar emerged with soda bottles in both hands, offering to light.

E. Ready If the housewives of Baltimore have found the price of cabbage to have taken a sudden jump in price this week, there is it reason: "Tim Moore is in town, and Tim Moore food" about his ham and cabbage can take on a cargo at least twice a day and sometimes do a midnight lunch on the great American dish. Moore, the ace of blackface comics, is heading his Chicago Pollies Company at the Doughlass this week. Moore, contrary to his many derogatory quips in reference to Georgia during his dialogue on the stage, was not born in the South, but in Rock Island, ILL, where a father, six brothers and three sisters still reside and where he makes his home when not on the road. His mother died but recently. Moore began his career when a kid by joining Dr. Mick's Medicine show. This was in 1897. After leaving this quilt, he turned to the track and for several years rode as a jockey for riding he again turned to the show business and was chosen by Corn Mishal as a member of her pickamamy act with which she toured this country and Europe. Returning to the States in 1909, Moore decided to form a partnership and "go for himself." Walter Hill was the partner selected and they did the usual singing and dancing turn. This act did not turn out as successful as he had expected with which aggregations he traveled for several years. Tourd Far East Moore left the minstrels and with his wife, formed a partnership and made a trip to Australia, China, New Zealand and several other countries. They returned in 1919 and organized their first Chicago Folies company. For the past four years they have had several tab companies under this name but Moore is now planning, in fact the plans are about perfected, to organize a big company. This show is expected to be ready in about ten weeks and will soil directly for Honolulu. Loves Sport But Hates Autos The comedian finds his chief recreation when not on the stage, watching the “ponies” run, taking in a good baseball game or witnessing a prize fight. Asked to be possessed a car, Moore lifted his hands in horror. “No, Lord!” was his exclamation, adding: “I was turned over in one of the things once and over in another. Why, my heart’s in my mouth even when I’re in a taxi.” We asked Moore if it were true as seems to be the case, that he "minkes up" his comical savings on the stage as he "goes along" and was informed that such is the case, he does not have any set part for him, so he plays for other players but has such a ready wit that he can give an answer that invariably "brings down the house."

A. JACKSON "Dinah" is a pleasing evening's entertainment by an agile and fast group of musical "comedy artists." "Dinah" is the new sister of "Lizz" that spent about eight months between the Sixth-third Street. Th after and the Nora Bayes, after which it went on the road for a brief tour that terminated in managerial dissentions. The family resemblance between the two shows is very evident in the bits that make up the book, and in the dance numbers. Many of the songs, tuneful the they are, but the tunes made familiar in the other show with some slight alterations in the arrangement. This is very evident in the title number; and "Sambo" is quite like the "Hurry" number made famous in "Sniffle Along." The book is but a arrangement of the sure things that have been formed in all the previous colored musical comedies. A line spoken by Will A. Cook in the play about describes it. He says aunt a dance hall project that "Too much attention has been paid to the feet and not enough to the head." That tells the story of the book. But you have to hand it to loving Miller. He can assemble good looking girls and boys, and teach them to dance in most rhythmic fashion. The show has a very "poppy" and fast choreo; and they are most tastefully costumed, not elaborately. The show is nicely equipped with secrecy, three of the four full stage sets being unusually nice. Hilly Mills and Dobie Green provide a lot of hearty laughs and Miller does a boxing bit that is check full of fun. Mills is his mainstay in this, and he and Green are both sure-fire comics. May Barnes, Lloyd Mitchell, and a team of neat little girls, Florence Brown and Amanda Groody, contribute some unusually clever dance stuff. Gertrude Sammers in her own way pumps over several jazz numbers, and Ethel Gilby stamped the house with Elvis. This pair of girls are an asset to any production. Several of the song numbers threaten to become epidemic. "The ghost of the Blues," "Eam," "Hack Me," "Black Bottom" and "Lou Tindy Lou," the latter one of the offerings of the Silverstone Quar- tette, a wonderful bunch of youths who are great with their own numbers, but who make the fatal error of laying a comparison with The our theonomy Kings to their own disadvantage by using some of the older organization's material.

"That brings us to the real reason for these laws," said Dixon, "the prevention of the Negro man from participation in the mixing. It's the same old case of what's mine's mine and what's yours is mine and yours, crystallized and made to function as law. A good many Southern whites, perhaps the majority, consider the comely Negro lass their legitimate prey. Under these laws Negro women have absolutely no protection, as in the case of a sixteen-year-old girl who was wronged by a Los Angeles policeman, and who under the California anti-marriage law had no redress. But in view of the great amount of mixing done and being done by the whites and the small number of marriages contracted by them, doesn't it appear a greater honor and morality on the part of the Negro that he should desire to marry and have his children born in wedlock?" sitting behind shuttered windows that barely admit the sunlight, are still basking in the reflection of the dubious glory of the past. The Poet's pride is the pride of Spain, what it is today—a nation of decayed aristocrats and illiterate, superstitious peasants. How I wish my beloved wife with the dignity of its soul and let in the rejuvenating sunlight of truth. "And the South can never rise higher than the Negro. Black and white in the South are like Siamese twins who, while they are physiologically the same, that of the twins could not harm the other without harming himself, or benefit the other without benefiting himself." Dixon took occasion to compliment him on his brainstimulation. "We found truth the only thing worth living for. But there is a hard struggle to obtain it. As a rule, we do not like to hear that which doesn't fit with our own ideas, but we do not like truth and truths my mind thinks like a horse at strange objects. By constant use of the spur, reason, however, I force my will to newstomself to strange truths—to overcome prejudice—and so I go on each new truth easier to accept. "Many of our most prominent men, leaders of thought, are completely weak-kneed in this matter of color." he continued, "and a good many of my people, I am regarded as a freak or an open enemy. Some even say that I must be a Negro. But I would rather be anything else than a coward or one of those who take their opinions from who are out to serve themselves." "The difficulty is to know the 'right leaders'," said Dixon. "The masses pick their leaders secondhand. Each one picks the way in which he wishes to give up his money." "That's it. It takes money to do anything these days, I know, but if Christ is the apocalyptic leader there is no record of Christ ever taking up a collection. Leaders are a necessity and they must be willing to give up all of it. I make it a point, however, never to give a cent to any leader who appeals to me on any ground other than justice for all regard. I am not a supporter of segregation. Every American citizen must be free to go anywhere and to do anything that any other person would not. That's what I stand. I say with behold: 'He that truth on his side is a food as well as a reward if he is afraid to own it because of the currency or multitude of men.' "I owe a great deal to my Negro mother," he continued. "I shall never forget her tender care for my mother and her love for the war and her forgiving Christ is a man character. More than any other agency, that of my parents not excepted, she has been a power for molding me or good. My people say that the Negro is the best. Yes, he is, but because of hisesses. In other words, he is the prisoner, they are the jailers. No jailer is ever a free man himself. Thoughts of the Negro must be predominate in the Southern mind today. Since whatever develops supermost in our mind rules us, the South actually has what it devours most—Negro domination. And ask how different things Both men exchanged views until the announcement of luncheon. Before leaving for the dining car, Mr. Obama asked the States, in its treatment of the Negro, would do well to initiate the effort to end the war or whatever in he goes into his shell, quietly makes the irritant into a point. And believe him, so full of his creed of right doing that it affected Dixon's in- DO YOU SUFFER FROM FEMALE WEAKNESS?

"I must admit that the white man even white registration against miscreants is with a sly wink at the senator, he added: "Each thinks it applies only to the other fellow, and goes on making him to the law broken." "What's more," said No. 2, the Caucasian has never been among any people, however deprived, that is not being tortured; bushman; Fonzars; Dyks; tigers; Moors—all. A mixture of white blood is the easiest of all to get. And what is it is never worth very much, is it only white women of the abandoned class—prostitutes and other marry Negroes." "That is the current belief," replied Dixon, "but it is wrong in the majority of cases in Chicago and elsewhere. These couples have no less than four fraternities—Mansfield societies as they are called. I have been to their balsal and their houses. These women are not a whit different from the ordinary, respectable American woman, white or black, well-kept, hands, well-regulated families and live as happily as the problem imposed on them will permit, with reference to the abandoned white women who do marry Negroes; their reason for doing so is that, they find in the black man that which their own back in their lives which made outcasts of them—genuine human sympathy." Another point, persisted the counsel, "we most like into an account. If either parent has a drop of Negro blood be it ever so small, the child is liable to be born cold with thick lips and kinky "The Woods-Hutchinson," populated Dixon, "writing in the Chicago Examiner, April 16, 1916, in his book *Backs his assertions with criminal investigations conducted by the Carnegie Institute.* This institute employed two trainees in America for a whole year to track down the matter of reversion. They failed to find a single substantiated case," the article began. "The child was born white of African descent. No I haven't a human soul." He noted: "To view of these two facts, first that intermarriage is not our nature of Nature; second, that persons who have a desire for another's society are going to meet in spite of all laws, it is clear, unless we adhere to the effect of antimarriage laws is the upbringing of racial vanity, even to the detriment of morality and good citizenship." He said that he had to call a passenger for the next station.

Sprinkle this with the other layer of buttered bread and sweet potatoes, alternating until the pan is full and the last layer is potatoes, sprinkled with sugar and butter. Pour over this until nearly covered a rich sweet milk and let it stand until the bread is roasted. Take this poulding in even much well, lightly and cover with 20-30 minutes. This dessert may be served with cream but it is delicious as it is. No eggs are needed, as the sweet potatoes will thicken it enough. MRS. A. E. REEVES. "Venison" en Casserole Most prepared this way will make a delicious dish, tender and well flavored. Take 1½ pounds of steak, cut into pieces for serving salt, pepper and roll them in flour. lay the pieces in the casserole, sprinkling lightly with flour between the layers. Add 2 onion sliced, a dozen cloves and 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings, distributing evenly over layers of meat cover the meat with a cold layer of butter for two hours, keeping the dish covered tightly. The gravy will be of the right consistency to serve at once. One need not necessarily use steak; almost any cut of meat prepared this way would be delicious.

Embarrassing Moment $1 Prize Winner Our 'neighbor', whose greatest fault lies in continually bragging on the clever sayings of his son Harold, five-years-old, had a number of us in to dinner last evening. Scarcely was dinner over when our host, as usual, began to tell us of something extremely clever Harold had said. As we were trying to assume an expression of politic interest, while in truth we were rather tired of hearing about Harold's cleverness, the door to the living room opened, and young Harold thrust in his head and asked: "Bad, where do you get all those fine things you tell people to do?" So confused was our host that he stopped with his jaw hanging, ran his finger under his collar as if he were choking, stammered: "Excuse me just a minute," and hastily quitted the room, leaving us aloud; choked with merriment. Judging from the sound which ensued from the kitchen, some part of Harold's anatomy must have come in contact with the strap, welded by a parental hand. When our host re-centered the room we were on the point of leaving. So embarrassed was he that he hardly knew what I was doing. Although I was much embarrassed at seeing him shown up among so many, I hope to goodness he is cured of bragging on Harold. Mrs. HELEN M. JENIFER, Aquapeter, Md.

Doug's protege, is Sammy Baker, who weighs 230 pounds in training, is twenty years old, six feet four inches tall, and has an eighty-four inch reach. Baker has been kept under cover for certain months, undergoing special training and grooming for a professional ring career—all at the expense of the great film star, who believes he has a champion of champions under his wing. The discovery of Baker makes a dramatic story. He blew into filmland from Oklahoma and was lucky enough to land at a time when colored actors were in demand to play parts in the Thief of Baghdad. Baker selected at once by the asking director to play the part of an African disciple. Fairbanks saw him and was so impressed by the man's gigantic size his grace of movement and his youth, that he turned him over to a professional boxing instructor for an opinion as to his natural ability Has Shown Real Punch The report was good, and the actor decided to finance his education as a fighter. For nearly two years Baker has been working with the greatest enthusiasm, and in the past three months, in eight private tryouts against professional heavyweights. Baker is said to have won five of the goes with first-round knockouts and three with knockouts in the second round. Critical observers of ring affairs have looked Baker over and believe that he shows a lot more than did Harry Wills when the brown panther was making a reputation out on the west coast. His education has been completed, and the changes are that he will shortly come east to show his warriors to the fans. CRUDUP NEW CAPT. OF LINCOLN TEAM Football Squad Will Lose Seven Regulars Next Year By JAS, ARCHER Lincoln University, Dec. 13—In a football meeting of the Varsity team last Saturday for the election of a captain, Crudup was selected by his teammates as their leader for the next season. After the election Crudup said: "I feel greatly honored to be chosen as your captain. There is no doubt that the Lions are going to have a real team next year." It is a lamentable fact that we are losing a valuable crop of material this year, but the spirit left which is after all the essential thing for a good team." Crudup will have at his disposal six varsity men besides some of this year's promising substitutes. Lincoln will lose a captain Johnson, Brown, Carter, Coston, Hogans, Jason and Poundiex, whose home is Boston, was rated as one of the best ends of the past season which was his third in the varsity. The not a flash, he is very consistent and one of the best placement kickers in Negro football.

Indeed, no center this season has outplayed him. JACK JOHNSON IS BARRED IN PENNA Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 12.—The State Athletic Commission last Thursday refused to grant Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion, a boxer's license, but unanimously agreed that he could have a trainer's license in order not to deprive him of a living at the boxer's game. Johnson's age—45 years—was given by the commission as the principal objection to a boxer's permit. Chas White, the colored member of the commission, concurred in this view.

MASON As football is shoved off the scene of athletics by basketball, there is still talk of the Howard-Lincoln game because of the $10,000 ticket scandal. Lincoln officials managed the game this year, and claim now there were only 12,000 paid admissions. Expert newspaper men who went over the crowd, estimated the gathering as high as 40,000 and as low as 35,000. Granting the spectators numbered only 20,000, the athletic associations of the two teams are $10,000 short, which seems not to be forth coming. If Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard, refuses to accept Lincoln's accounting, there may follow a probe which will go into the last detail of the game's management and give Lincoln a new graduate manager for next year. SIKI CANNOT GET USED TO SEEING SO MANY colored people as he finds in Harlem, especially the beautifully gowned women, with the result that the $17,000 he won in the Norfolk fight is being spent in huge handfuls.

FLOWERS-SIKI BOUT IS IN THE AIR (Preston News Service) Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 15.—After a sensational 12-round draw with Boston George Robinson here on November 27, Manager Walk Miller, who handles Georgia Tiger Flowers, feels that the southerner's right hand is sufficiently mended to warrant his fulfilling the contracts that were called on to Mexico and Cuba. On December 15, at San Antonio Texas, Flowers will meet Skii or Sonny Goodrich in a twelve round match. New Year's Day, he will meet either Jeb Smith of Gordon McCap at Jaurez, Mexico. Sometimes during the first part of January, Manager Walk Flowers will for Hirundo where best middleweight obtainable will face Flowers in a 12-round match. The recent match in Atlanta was pronounced the best fight ever taged there, and it is likely that Robinson and Flowers will be retrained for Christmas Day in Atlanta. The Tiger is by far the best attraction in the South, Southeast and Middle West, as well as in both Cuba and Mexico, and many offers are now being considered by his manager from all parts of the United States. It is very likely the Browns will call off the blowout, and has filled his Cuban contract at such places as Boston, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Montreal and Portland have made offers for the popular Georgian fighter. George Robinson holds the distinction of being the only man in the ring that has held Flowers to a draw, and outweighed the Tiger some twelve pounds in their match. Flowers has defied such flowers for Jamie Poon, Joe Sohn, Jamie Kid, Tut Jackson, Andy Kid Palmer, Jimmy O'Catty, Tom King, Gorilla Jones, Jimmy Barry, Jim Flynn, Bob Lawson, Frank Murphy, Eddie Palms, Frank Carbone and a number of lesser lights. Jamie Kid and Tut Jackson; both outweighed Flowers by 24 pounds each, in two matches, records show that neither man was given an even round out of the twenty-four fights. Wills-Firpo Bout Talked (Preston News Service) New York, Dec. 13.—13—Rickard today declined to give details of negotiations that he has under way for some time to match Harry Wills, his heavyweight, and Luis Firpo, but indicated that some progress toward arranging the bout has been made for May 5, 1924.

The decision was far from being satisfactory to the large gathering of fans, any they voiced their disapproval by booting for many minors against the ring. Edwards weighed 120kg and Thomas scaled at 123 pounds. The presence of many policemen, who it is understood, were permitted to see the contest, free, probably averted a free-for-all fight. A large mixed audience came from Springfield and the word was passed up before hound by local fans" on the side that "the bantam was a local boy, would be given the decision if he were on his feet at the end of the fight.

The show was the first held by race people under the new law. A record crowd was there and Charles Fred White, the race member on the Baying Board also. Geo.

Avenuers Like Babies in Hands of Speedy Sharp-Shooting * "Scholars" Lieutenant under the belief that the most faithful and closely fought battle but up by any teams so far in the AFRO-LEAGUE contest would greet them, the largest gallery so far this season packed the "Y" last Friday night to witness the battle between the Scholastics and Doughss "H" quintets. During the first half, they were not disappointed. The two teams battled about the arena in such deadly conflict that the reporters, the majority of whom were whipping it up for "H," were kept in a trench. So fast was the team, not another team got changed to set up camps or other formations, but were always on the defensive, so the half ended with Scholastics leading 11-11. With only seven points separating them, as the second half opened of the operators dig in to witness some real playing. But also, they were sadly disappointed. During the in-battition, something happened to the Donghass "HI" warriors. Whether they lost their nerve, decided to lose the game or what, we are at a lost to know, but we do know that during that second half, the "HI" losers were no more than babies in the hands of the speedy Scholastics. Two hold goals, one of the two made by a "sud" just few weeks before the game ended, all the while that the "HI" did in this half. On the other hand, the winners rolled up a total of 21 points, the result of 15 ringers from the plain and a penalty shot, "turtle" brown led in the sharp-shooting, hitting the bullseye from the prairie nine times, while Aiho was runner-up with seven.

Avenuers Use Junior Greeks to Climb Out Of Cellar of Afro League Standing The hottest and most exciting game that has been staged since the AFRO Basketball League got under way, took place last Friday night, when the Doughloss HP and Athenian Arrows beckoned home at the "Y" Gym" with the Penn Avenuers toting off the bacon at 11:11. There has been long-standing rivalry between these quintets, and as a consequence quite a large gallery was on hand. Shortly after the initial exhibition "H" jump from the foul park. A moment later She took the "H" jump in from the field and incidentally set the "H" rosters wild. Their joy was short-lived, however, for the "treckets" were soon on an even basis as the result of a goal from the field and a foul penalty. And thus, through the first half the rosters came up and flipped with first one and then the other leading in the scoring, in a fever of excitement. The half ended with the Arrows leading, 10-8. During the first half neither team had exhibited very much team work, and the opening of the half laid found the "Avenues" not only exhibiting a "brand of team play" that baffled the Arrows. Two Field goals in the first half and nine in the second by the "HI" quint against the first half and two in the second. (Both incidentally being made by the round Matthews) by the Arrows tells the whole story. "HI" guard and Short, forward of the same team, led in the shooting, the former tossing in three from the prairie and the some number from the foul mark without a miss, and the latter beaving in three from the field and three out of five from the penalty line.

Pittsburgh, Dec. 13—Playing before one of the largest crowds of the early season, and against a team reputed to be one of the best in the State, the Champion Lencoli club, rode rough-shod over the strong Harrison Five at labor Temple Thursday evening, the final sense being 61-24. The Lencoli lineup, strengthened by the addition of "Spikes" Moton of New York, started off with a rush, and soon had a commanding lead. Cant, Betts, aided by Dennis, Ticks on the offensive and Young on the defensive, locked up "Netscape" Brown, without permitting bip to score a field goal.

SIKI-PURYEAR BOUT IN EAST IS RUMORED (Preston News Service) New York, Dec. 16.—Apparently another match for Battling Skii is in the making that should pack Madison Square Garden, according to the "inside dome" current in this city last week. His taliged of opponent is no other than Silent Puryear, since he became a stable mate of Harry Wills, has been knocking all of the light-heavies for a goal. Puryear is a tough customer with a bewildering ring style. Townsend and George Godfrey may be matched on the same card. ZBYSZKO BEATS SIKE ZBYSZKO BEATS SIKE (Preston News Service) Hilton, Ill., Dec. 12 - Original Ski, much heralded Sinegessless wrestler from France, gave an audience of over 4,000 wrestling fans a real thrill here last week, when it took Stantishaus Zhyzsko almost an hour and a half to gain a two-fall decision. The Pole took the first fall with a jack knife and bead scissors hold, and the second fall with a back lock and jack knife hold. Ski two aglance when he bridged after Stantishaus had secured a body scissors. While in this position Zhyzsko hammered at Siks' midship section in a vain effort to hep him. After he tried several times Ski polled over and let the butty champion fall to the mat. For one solid hour these two grapplers tinged and pulled, and the second piece fell the inexperienced Ski and Stans tied him in a knot with a jack knife and head lock. Zhyzsko gained the second fall with the same hold. Why Siki was matched against this topnotcher we cannot say. I believe he should be allowed to work his way up gradually. I can see that the object might be to discourage the young grappler. After seeing him in the ring I am of the firm opinion that this defiant Siki will have no effort on the youth. Several times during games he got real time. Time and again the two men indulged in unsporstman-like acts. Siki almost pushed the weighty Stansilius out of the ring after he called his a name. The crowd was extremely impartial and applauded whenever Siki broke the powerful holds of the aggressive Zhyszko. This was the third meeting between the two men and the Pole has won all three.

NORMAL, 7; ST. PAUL, 6 Normal's Right End Runs 62 Yards for Winning Touchdown By J. L. WHITEHEAD. Potsburg, Va. Dec. 15.—In a game that pused several thousand spectators to a bed of shouts, shrieks and plain yells at McKenzie Street Park here today, the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, through sheer strategy, snatched a 7 to 6 victory from the St. Paul Normal and Industrial School. All the scoring was done in the third period. Virginia Normal received the kick-off. They punted on the third down; St. Paul kicked on the 4th, and Virginia Normal returned the kick on the 2nd. It was St. Paul's ball on their 40 yard line. The Tigers uncovered that buffling shift, and right through the Hilppopps stalwart d-fence, with Parker, Collins, Walker and Lawyer. William Kerns rushed the pigskin for four first downs and a touchdown. Walker made 7 yards through his right tackle for the score. Walker's "try" for point by placement kick was blocked. St. Paul's fans wont into estuary, but before those youthful, jubilant chants even echoed Virginia Normal had tied the score. Receiving the kick-off on his 10 yard line, Coles ran on the bed, back 28 yards. On the first play Turner went around his left end and, with an ambiguous four-men interference, he went on his memorable 62 yard journey for a touchdown. This was a great run. The Thers' secondary defense connived to drive this flesty star out of the kickers, his wonderful pressure of mind enabled him to reach his course, and when he reached the 10 yard line he cut in with a clean field before him. To the dismay of some, he landed the ball behind the covered spot. Coles scored the extra point by 15 yard drop kick. St. Paul's attempted field goal for the 19 yard line in the first period went astray. In the 4th period Normal made it a first down on St. Paul's 5 yard line then forward passing lost the ball on his field goal (8) Va. Normal, (7) Bryd L.E. T. Brown Blackwell L.T. Cotman Pierce L.G.

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, poor memory, premature sensility, scrawnay neck, restlessness at night, pains, headache, melancholy, despondency, etc., should disappear.

Remarkably clear, terse, and to the point on most issues, it left no doubt as to the dominant type of man the President is and the vigor with which he will push his policies while President. Naturally AFRO-AMERICAN readers will look for that portion of the message which will indicate his official attitude towards Negro citizenship. On this question, says the President: "Numbered among our population are some 12,000,000 colored people. Under our Constitution their rights are Just as sacred as those of any other citizens. It is both a public and private duty to protect those rights. The Congress ought to exercise all its powers of prevention and punishment against the hideous crime of lynching, of which the Negroes are by no means the sole sufferers, but for which they furnish a majority of the victims." After further commenting on proposed appropriation for all American citizens of all races and creeds and Howard University and a commission to deal with problems arising out of migration, the President ends this section in this rather uncertain and indefinite tone: "But it is well to recognize that these difficulties are to a large extent local problems which must be worked out by the mutual forbearance and human kindness of each community. Such a method gives much more promise of a real remedy than outside interference." This last statement is so familiar and so thoroughly understood by colored thinkers that it is likely to be regarded as a "fly in the ointment." We have no doubt Bascomb Slemp had something to do with this seeming assurance given certain sections that there will be no material interference in their dealing with colored citizens. This is woefully disappointing. God pity those human beings of ebony hue whose fate as citizens "must be worked out by the mutual forbearance and human kindness" of the prejudice-ridden and mob-stained communities from which colored people have for sometime been fleeing out of sheer desperation. What we needed most to hear was that every inch of American soil, North, South, East and West, was to become a safe and equally law abiding place of habitation for all American citizens af all races and creeds and that the Constitution of these United States which guarantees unabridged citizenship to all, was to be enforced in both spirit and letter in every community.

EDWARDS (For the Associated Negra Press.) 76-What was the "Free African Society?" 1787 Absalon Jones and Richard Allen of Philadelphia led in a movement to found an organization among the race, the purpose of which was to support one another in sickness, and assist fatherless children. This organization was formed without regard to the tenets, but the persons were required to live in orderly and sober life. It was known as the "Free African Society" and the following interesting clause is a part of one of its articles of organization, i. c. "We deem it necessary that the children of our deceased members be under the care of the society, so far as to pay for the education of their children; also to put them out apprentices to suitable trades or places. 77-With whose assistance did Simon Ebolavir Liberate South America a stroke of Spain." In 1811 the illustrious Bolivar undertook his great task of shaking off the yoke of Spain, and securing the independence of South America. He fled to Jamaica, and being unsuccessful in obtaining assistance he repaired to Haiti, where Petion gave him a most cordial welcome and assisted him with men, arms, and money. Bolivar's first expedition with Haitian volunteers was unsuccessful, and he teared失住 Haiti refuse further assistance but to his surprise Haiti pushed him reinforcements, which finally turned his disasters to victory and the spirit of liberty marched on to the redemption of South America. Who was Puskin? Alexander Sorgyevich Pushkin, great grandson of a Negro General of the armies of Peter the Great of Russia, was the greatest of Russian poets and the founder of the realistic school of Russian fiction. He was also a member of the Russian aristocracy and even held a court title under Czar Nicholas II, interesting to note despite the determination of the Bolshevik to annihilate all memories of Russian aristocracy in the statue of Pushkin still stands in the heart of Moscow, still present capital, and is revered by all within whose veins flows Russian blood.

Meantime the 2-acre lot opposite Garnet School on Division Street was offered at public auction; Bob Young bought the old Damaan estate of nearly 2 acres for around $17,000, and so it begins to look like one of two things: Either the School Board and The Public Improvement Association are insincere and "passing the buck," for reasons they will not make public, or THEY HAVE ELINDFOLDED THEMSELVES IN THEIR SEARCH FOR A COLORED SCHOOL SITE. DAY BY DAY By WM. N. JONES. One of the items recommended in the President's message was a commission to "formulate a better policy for mutual understanding and confidence" on matters growing out of migration and its industrial problems. To do such a commission may take to harm and may provide a few jobs for the faithful, we fail to see why any special yard stick is necessary to measure treatment Afro-Americans should receive in this country. Too long already have colored citizens been dealt with as a special group. A simple formula that President Coolidge might use to measure the need for immigrants into the minds of those who administer American justice that the Negro is an American citizen with the same insatiable passion for fair treatment and the same desire for the benefits of democracy as any citizens. They apply the doctrine of "than shall treat the neighbor Why have to study a problem so simple? If American citizens should not be jim-crowed, distranchised, lynched and segregated, then the Negro citizen should not. Open up to them the most elemental constitutional guarantees and there will be no problem of migration. Why administer a palative salve when a surgeon's knife is needed? For a long time much mystery has clouded the present condition of Russia where during the war a revolution set in motion one of the most radical forms of government ever established. Chris McCay, well known publicist and Communist, has been writing recently of conditions in this great country where he has been for some time. His statements show that despite prophecies that Russia would submerge into chaos, this country is lying on and slowly rising in the birthmus of the form of government where the people really rule. Russia's revolution was drastic. What happened was not only that a monarch was deposed, but the title to all property wiped out and everybody began over. Some day the same, thing will happen elsewhere, by gradual growth if not by revolution. The march of man is to constant equalizing of opportunity. The outstanding protestant ministers of New York City have united in a war on vice in Harlem. The progress of Harlem, where 150,000 colored men and women gathered from all parts of the world, live in the most unique community of col- lorals, people in this country is of the highest Emancipation."

Spending For The spirit of Christmas spending and giving has become so far removed from the spirit of Christ during the last years that it might not be amiss to remind readers that this season which commemorates the birth of Christ offers the greatest opportunity of the year for promoting general goodwill and human happiness. Bring up your Christmas budget don't forget to set aside a substantial proportion to be used for purely unselfish giving. While the mutual duty to remember friends may be uppermost, let the altruistic within you dominate your Christmas giving. Don't forget the children, poor and old people. Above all don't forget the children. Let your conscience be clear on what you believe that every child in YOUR BLOCK is remembered from some source. Probably the saddest of all Christmas tragedies are the little children neglected by some Santa Claus on the ONE DAY IN THE YEAR THEY ALWAYS GEMEMBER. The FORUM Corrects Error Made in the Whatnot Column of Last Week's AFRO-AMERICAN. Mr. Editor: In the issue of your paper for the present week speaking of the "first" Convention of Colored People, in 1830, the name of "Peter Williams" is given us from Baltimore. The Rev. "Peter Williams" was not a Baltimore but a New Yorker. He was best teacher and foredear of St. Phillip's Church, New York. However, not only were Marylanders in that convention, but the very idea of the "convention" itself was born in the brain of a "free Negro" of Baltimore City, Hezekiah Grice. Besides Grice in that convention were James Deaver and Aaron Willson of Maryland. These facts, with the names of the individual delegates were printed in the "Anglo-African Magazine", in 1830, and are set forth in John Whewell's "Negro in American History". A word should be added with re- lation "of the idea." He was a Paiti- tier" of the idea. He was a Paiti- tier." ham Douglass, who city in 1805, near Montgomery and Leadenhall streets, Mr. Douglass was the first colored man ever ordained to the ministry of the Episcopal Church, south of the State of Pennsylvania. He spent his entire ministerial life in the City of Philadelphia, as the sctor of St. Thomas Church. The historical data here given is of importance, if we feel that the memory of our honored forbears is worth preserving. GEORGE F. BRAGG, Jr. KELLY MILLER SAYS Since the days of Andrew Johnson, no President has failed to secure a second nomination if he wanted it. The band wagon is passing by. Choose ye this day whom ye will serve. Choice is between McAdoo and Coolidge. For my part, I like Vermont granite. The President's Message For many years following the Civil War, the President of the United States always mentioned the claims of the Negro in his annual message to Congress. At first he went into extensive discussion of the rights and wrongs of the colored race, and expressed the determination of the administration to uphold the constitution and the law intended for his especial benefit. The break came in the early nineteen, after the defeat of the so-called force bill. After that time, reference to the Negro in the annual message of the President became fainter and fainter, until it was finally omitted altogether. President after president has been beheaded by race leaders to give due and proportionate consideration in his annual message. But there has been the greatest hostility in handling this delicate and disagreeable question. President Coolidge deserves great credit for the courage to face the question squarely and bring it to the fore as an issue for public discussion. Many of the problems are touched upon in the concise, comprehensive Coolidge fashion. The whole question is projected against the background of righteousness, which Mr. Coolidge will make the policy of the nation. Race Commission The president recommends the appointment of a race commission composed of white and colored men to make a careful study of the question and to formulate some plan of national legislation. The importance of such a commission can be judged from the valuation of the race column appointed by the governor of Illinois to investigate conditions leading up to and culminating in the Chicago riot. This document furnished a store-house of invaluable material and suggestions for the guidance of the student of the race problem. Such a commission with a national range and scope would go a long way in furnishing the proper guidance and direction for race adjustment. Howard University President Cooley mentions Howard University and recommends a special appropriation of half million dollars to meet the needs of Howard University. Howard University is indeed the national institution for the higher education of the colored race. It is largely dependent upon the federal government for provision to carry on its extensive educational plan. Howard University is raising its studentry from all or nearly all of the states of the Union, supplying the nation with professional and general leaders for a group representing one tenth of the total population. Howard University may well lay claim to the contribution of the national government. This is the only Negro school which, at present, approximates a complete university system of education. Its curricula and range of departments of study are easily comparable with the well-established institutions on the education of white youth. It operates the only standard law school, the only school of engineering, and one of the two medical schools now intended for colored students exclusively. The medical department to which special attention is called, has recently received a conditional gift of a half million dollars in pledges from the Rockefeller foundation and from subscriptions mainly from the colored race. The Negro, himself, subscribed one two hundred thousand dollars towards the endowment fund. When this fund, shall have been completed, and the recommended appropriation secured, the medical school will rest upon a million dollar foundation which after all is small enough considering the magnitude of the task against which it is measured. The mere fact of mention by the President will serve to bring this institution to the fore-front of discussion as an educational agency which is calculated to do a much greater amount in American schools a right solution of vital American problems. A National Institution The thanks of the colored race are due President Coulidre for his statesmanlike courage in making known to the country and to the world the paramount needs of the race. People are various other schools and colleges among Negroes whose support is derived chiefly from philanthropy or from the state. But Howard University has the unique distinction of deriving its support in essential part from the general government itself. This fact gives the institution a national character and function. There can be no just basis of rivalry or jealousy against Howard because of this unique distinction. This does not widen possible appeal to the race as a whole. There is not a citizen anywhere in the nation of Negro blood but that feels the thrill of rival satisfaction at the progress of this national institution. Close students of Negro education are convinced that there will have to be greater articulation and coordination. In our educational scheme in order to achieve function as an order coordinated system, we scheme Howard University by virtue of location, reach and range of work national basis of . . . support and universal appeal to ambitions Negro youth, must stand as the key of the arch. The claim of Howard University upon the support of the nation does not rest upon political will. The President does not base his interest in this institution upon any special political advantage to flow from his advocacy. It is a duty which the nation owes to the Negro and to itself to encourage the educational development according to the Howard University scheme, the North Carolina State and South, Democrats and Republicans alike. Here indeed is one patriotic object upon which all, good Americans can unite without regard to race or section. A great Negro University embodies the high educational and cultural of entire race. President Coollidge has imparted a powerful impulse in the right direction. Pre-Convention Politics The shrewd politician is now holding his breath. A mistake at this juncture of the game would prove fatal to his aspirations for the next quadremium. Wait until after the nomination, say, then we will take off our coats for whoever may be the victor. It is safe to advise them in advance that President Coydidge be appointed. Since the days of Andrew Johnson, no opposition has ever been able to defeat any administration that so ought self-sacrifice. The band wagon is passing by. The expectant politician had as well get on board. The choice to the voter will die between a bridge and a Monday. Choose ye in that whom ye will serve. I know not how others will decide; but for my part I like Vermont granite. Southern Representation The New York World, some days ago carried a leading article upon the unwisdom of the proposed plan of reducing Southern representation in the next national Republican convention. The Negro political leaders, North and South, should unite in one firm protest against such limitation. The sole object is to lessen the weight of the race in the council of the party. The proposed limitation is; undemocratic and is out of harmony with the spirit and tradition of political and governmental procedure. Representation should be based upon population, and not upon any characteristic or qualification of the constituents. A million Negroes in Mississippi will be elected by twelve delegates in the Democratic convention which counts all of the people; but will be entitled to only four representatives in the Republican convention. The Democrats count the Negro as a representative entity for the sake of suppressing him, while the Republicans would refuse to count him at all. The individual is the ultimate political unit. The party that tampers with this principle is dangerously undermining the foundation of representative government. Those who follow Coffie ought to follow Coffie ought to urge his managers to speak out on this issue. Unless Mr. Hitchcock has lost his ancient cunning he will quickly dent the adversary's armour at this point of vital weakness. It will be the easiest and most natural maneuver to select full contesting delegations from every Southern State who will have the moral advantage of the traditions of the party and the foundation of representative government.
