U. S. Naval Forces Jail Respected Haitian Pastor: $10,000 Job For American Created Port an Prince, Haiti, Dec. 24—With the full force of President Coolidge's administration behind it, the Navy Department is using strong-arm methods in crushing out the republican spirit in Haiti and making the island a part of United States territory. Leading newspaper raen here, Including Joll Bois, editor of the Courier Haitien, are held in jail without bail for writing newspaper articles urging the calling of the national assembly. In the latest outrage, a committee of the League for Public Welfare, in session in a private dwelling was raided by gendarmes under command of Colonel S. M. Harrington, a white American, who charged that the meeting was being held without police permission, the gathering was disrupted in the evening, August Albert, a Weakley Methodist minister, was thrown in jail. 15 Hours In Cell Rev. Mr. Albert was held for 15 hours in a narrow cell without food, water, or bed. In a letter filed with the Navy Department, the pastor charges that the raid was perpetrated upon a penceable meeting in the United States and Haiti. He died a claim for $1,000 damages. Colonel McDougal, in charge of the American Haitian police force, refused to consider the claim, it is said, which is the reason for the pastor's appeal to Secretary Denby in Washington. Various partiotic societies here are appealing to their black brethren in the United States to protest loudly against what is called the rage of Haiti, where his indebtedness and income, spent at the will of American dictator. $10,000 Job Created As an example of how the Coolidge administration uses all methods to humiliate the Haitians, it has placed a white man in charge of agricultural affairs on the island of Haiti. The government will receive a larger salary than the Haitian minister of agriculture, and has already ordered the building of quarters outside the government administration building where the government will be compelled to foot all the bills.

The pistol ball from the discharged pistol made a flesh wound across the breast of the girl and entered the upper portion of her knee, penetrating and pounding her brain. She was also a painful burn caused by the close proximity of the weapon when it was discharged. Miss Butler, just out of the hospital, was only able this week to hobble to Court and press the charge against Hill. She is a girl and physician hope that the knee cap is not permanently fractured. Accused a Driver Hill, who is a driver and lives at 2708 Reese street, when given a hearing last week, denied intentionally shooting the girl, but stated that the pistol was accidentally discharged when he and the girl playfully struggled for possession of the weapon. Hill's Third Call This version of the affair was at first also given by the girl immediately after the shooting, but when pressed for the truth she stated that Hill deliberately placed the revolver inside her bosom, where it was discharged, wounding her breast and ploughing through her knee cap and leg. According to the testimony of Miss Butler Hill called upon her on the night of November 26th, at 2841 Remington street. It was his third and she and an older sister entertained him for a while. Then the latter left the room. It was at this time that Hill, according to her story, attempted to make her submit to his advances. She refused, and the pair struggled. Then Hill took his pistol and placing it on top of her waist in an effort to make her submit. The weapon was discharged. Explains First Story When policemen arrived Hill stationed the affair was accidental. Stating that she was suffering such intense pain that she did not realize what she was saying, Miss Butler answered in the affirmative when police questioned her. At the first hearing at the Northern Police Station Hill was held pending the outcome of the shooting. Last week when the hearing took place, she told for the first time the incidents leading up to the affair, and was held under the guard rail and by the Grand jury Friday. Still clinging to his story of accidental shooting, Hill told an AFRO reporter at the jail today that while he was visiting the girl he took his revolver out onto the table. Later they both playfully reached for it, when it was discharged. He waited for the arrival of the police, he stated.

C., Dec. 26—The action of the Republican National Committee in changing its mind about reducing the Southern representation in the National Republican Convention has riled the South. The presence of many colored men and women at the Committee's meeting was styde "disgusting" and savoring of social equality by writers of the Southern Press. One of these writers, Eugene B. Britton, who is Washington correspondent for a number of Southern dailies, had the following to say: The South sensation those who whore "on the have age peat in cans on drennial Ohio. A It was an eren menSION this stood on Angry Mob of Negroes "As on yesterday there was an angry mob of Negroes besieging the meeting of the Republican committee, and the small ball room of the New Willard, where society in Washington has been wont to display itself at dances and other notable functions, was a study in black and white and tan. The Negroes were there on equal terms with the Negroes and women alike. The Negro 'Link Johnson' orated and snorted defiance at his white Republican colleagues and the Johnson outfit scared the National committee into reversing itself, this on the motion of Senator Pepper, of Pennsylvania, and N. ORLEANS SHRINERS ACCUSED MURDERER FILE INJUNCTION WEDS LONE WITNESS New Orleans, Ia., Dec. 27.—(By The Associated Negro Press)—Suit for injunction has been filed by the officers of Jerusalem Temple, Ancient Arabic Order of the Mystic Shrine (white) against R. L. Carter, potentate of Platta Temple No. 15, to restrain him and 100 others from using the name, red fezes, emblems or names of officers of the white organization. These are the claims that if the Negro order is allowed that if the Negro order is allowed will be sustained by the white loge. The colored Masonic lodge in this city is working under a charter which originally came from England and lately purchased a home on Dauphine street from Schlemer The Southern Republican representation remains unchanged. So those who have bought blocks of Southern Republican delegates "on the hoof" in other years will have again an opportunity to repeat in 1924 when the Republicans on June 10 begin their quadrennial convention in Cleveland, Ohio. A Disgusting Scene It was a scene to disgust Southern men at the close to the session this morning. Negro men stood or sat and talked with the Republicans, and tapped the white men on their chests or patted them on their backs, the white smoking cigars or cigarettes, while some Negro women sat with the associate women of the committee. The Negro was in high feather with his white Republican associates, and the onlookers could but pity the white men and white women who had brought this political-social equality on themselves. Some of the Negroes were gushing in their expressions of delight to the white Republicans who had voted as they wanted, and were heard to exclaim: "God bless you," as they patted some of these on his back." ACCUSED MURDERER WEDS LONE WITNESS (Preston News Service) Beaver Falls, Pa., Dec. 26—Charles Gray, charged with the murder of Oscar Jackson at Woodlawn, Pa., on October 1, last, played a trump card in his defense a few days ago when he married Miss Maggie Wilson, of Woodlawn, Pa.

A Disgusting Scene NEW COOKING IS MUCH BETTER THAN OLD Cooks 25 Years Ago Were Back Number, Declares the Highest Paid Chef in the World FEEDS 2000 PEOPLE A DAY Rodney W. Jefferson Tells How He Runs Kitchen of Wrigley's Island Hotel By Edgar G. Brown Los Angeles, Cal., Dec. 23. "The cook of 25 years ago a back number," declared Rodney W. Jefferson today. Is this message may come as a sort of a shock to millions who have believed that old-fashioned cooking is the best. But my informant was no other than the highest paid chef in the world, who feeds 2,000 people every day in the big hotel of Wrigley, the chewing gum magnet. 30 Miles Off Coast The hotel is located on Catalina Island, 30 miles off the California Coast in the Pacific Ocean. Win Wrigley, the chewing grub, boss, swears by Chef Jeff, whom he calls the "whole works." Chef Jefferson on the other hand, declares the Wrigles, father and son, are the finest people in the world to work for. Jeff got a $1,000 bonus and a month's vacation last year. Chef Jeff, who got his start in the Griffin House in Detroit and went from there to the Beaumont Green Bay Hospital and the Public Company, likes Catalina Island host. His kitchen alone cost $100,000, and he employs 60 white uniformed assistants of all races, colored, white, Jews, and Japs. 15 Trucks of Potatoes The big refrigerators take in 15 truckloads of potatoes each day, 20 steers, 60 hams, 60 hogs, 100 turkeys, 700 chickens, 600 squabs, and other foods in similar quantities. This is the only known hotel which serves swordfish regularly. The bakeshop runs 24 hours each day. It takes ten men to fetch the potatoes, which washes 15,000 dishes an hour. Garbage is frozen solid before it is carried away and dumped in the ocean. Caters to Kiddles Ask about his work, work Chef Jeff said, "There is only one class of persons I cater to. Those are the children, who cannot tell you what they want. "I make a specialty of taking care of them, either at night or in the day. The further training, the more you realize you do not know, continued Chef Jefferson, pointing to his library of over 1,200 books. In an entire life-time no man could ever hope to learn it. "What the country demands is young men who are ambitious and have a little brain," added our host. I have had to do the work of teaching and I am just getting started. I never had time to attend dances or social functions. But I believe in the law of compensation, and I am still studying until 12 and I a.m. nightly. I am now trying to help live men and practical young men who use science in stead of brute force. I only care about and bolster up the rather impaired traditional reputation of colored cooks. Older Cooks Back Numbers The cook of 25 years ago is a back number. My teacher, Taylor Jordon, of Cincinnati, in the 80's was one of the best all-around men in his day. "Cooking in 1923 is more than the preparation of food if it is the little man, known as the wizard of the St. Catherine, as he looked up from his desk and looking down the line of twenty men and called to his brother that the fowl should be taken from the fire. It is common knowledge that Chef Jefferson's sense of smell is even greater than his keen observation. LATEST NEWS FREE FARMS FOR EX-SOLDIERS Washington, Dec. 27.

"Sidehights on Negro Soldiers" gives in well-arranged order the special information which is needed to show how American Negroes act the cell to the colonies, how the Negro officers were trained, in spite of the numerous obstacles which were placed in their way; how the Germans attempted to influence the Negroes to turn against the United States; how the Negro troops suffered in France from systematic contagion against them; how the colonies, especially women, were not solved; how the "Y" and other welfare organizations ministered to the needs of Negro soldiers, usually with great success; how the stewards "carried on" amid hardships and numerous discontagements; how the well-known $2nd and $3rd divisions were organized and trained; how the Negro units played their part in helping to win the World War.

It will be reported out sometime during the latter part of January and a stubborn bill in Louisiana and Louisiana Senators are seeking to prevent his continuation as they did on the two other occasions, when his nomination was under consideration. Porto Rico Presents Harding Fund $10,000 San Juan, Porto Rico, Dec. 23—(K. N. F. Service)—According to advises reaching here today contributions to the Harding Memorial Fund will reach $100,000. This amount of school presents the offerings of churches, lodges, school teachers and laborers. They claim to have a Ku Klux organization at Harvard University. The student paper suggests that the best way to kill the klan is to laugh at it. That sounds just like a student suggestion. We'll bet he's a sophomore,—or ought to be. Well, older folks than this student have made that same mistake, and some of them are still making it. Congressmen made it; they let "Emperor" Simmons come up and pray and sniffle and perform a few other little comedies, and then the Congressional Investigating Committee dropped its inquiry into the Khan. Perhaps they decided that it was a foolish organization and not worth fool- Louis Hackerman 1731-33 Penna. Ave. Opp. Lafayette Mkt. big with. Now the Klan owns the government of several Southern states—has denied the government of Oklahoma—and is reaching out for the government of the nation. Laugh at it! Yes, a laugh from its enemies will just tickle the Klan to death. Some people think a dung wolf just because it is foolish. Folies have lasted for a thousand years. A wrong will not perish because it is a wrong. American slavery lasted for two centuries and a half, and it was just as wrong on the day when it started, is on the day when it was broken up by a big fight. Wrongs will win every time it they get all the help. Witchcraft was wrong—but it went on. Lynchings are wrong, but it has gone on for a century and will go on for ten halves unless it is stopped by effective opposition. There are some things that can be effected by a laugh. But you cannot kill a rattlesnake by laughing at it. You cannot even draw its tooth with a grin or a joke. We respectfully suggest to Harvard that no organization which is secret in its operations and not officially recognized by the faculty and trustees, he allowed on the campus.

Dear Sir: Your paper deserves hearty commendation for making at least an attempt, and very unfair misappropriation of the proceeds of the recent inter-collegiate football game, as mentioned in your last edition. It is hardly probable that with an intelligent management personnel, such a rank cheat would have been persecuted, without perhaps little privation on the part of some one in authority,—and who is there, who is above taking a man-size slice of graft, when presumably protected by a large mantle of respectability and dignity! A little more publicity given the matter may succeed in smoking someone out of the hole, and causing proper restitution to the made needy, institutions, public interest in which produced such a creditable "rate." We have been too much exploited by the "other fellow" to relish another dose of the same at the hands of one of our own kind. It is time for some one to uncover, and there is still considerable good copy in this same mess. Hearty congratulations and good luck with your paper. An alumnus, of both schools. New York City.

Madden for Black Belt Washington, D. C., Dec. 24—Oscar DePriest, of Chicago, IL, was a caller at the White House last week. After a conference with Secretary C. Bassom Sleep, Mr. DePriest had an interview with the President. He was accompanied to the White House by National Committeeman Henry Lincoln Johnson of Georgia and Melvin J. Chisum, field secretary, National Negro Press Association. President Practical "President Coulidge impresses me as being a practical man," was the first statement made by Mr. Dearborn after coming out of the executive office. "I did not state whether or not he would line up with the Coulidge forces and work for a delegation to the national convention that will be committed to the President, but his interview leaves doubt on the credibility and election of the present incumbent of the White House. Favors Coolidge "It is advisable for the people of this country to keep a man in office who has the confidence of the business world," he said. "Disturbance of the business world will bring on a panic, and a panic will affect our race group worst than any other class of people in America, and for economic reasons it looks like the Republican party and the people of this country will make no mistake in nominating and electing the present occupant of the White House. Our statements are all the more significant because of Mr. DePriest's relation to the Len Small-Thompson fraction in Illinois politics. He is one of their chief lieutenants, and they are supporting the candidate of Senator Hiram Johnson. In fact, the city of Chicago is a Johnson stronghold, and it is doubtful that he will ask for election as a Candidate delegate to the 1924 convention. Linus President's Message. However, he likens the message to President to the Congress. He is especially fond of that part pertaining to tax reduction. He believes that if Congress emends this recommendation into law, it will put money into the commercial employment or thousands of men. Mr. DePriest is not opposed to the bonus. If the bonus can be paid and taxes reduced, he would be for the bonus; but if not, he favors the cutting of taxes. He regrets to that part of the President's message relating to the Negro. Mr. DePriest had the following, 10 say: Not So Radical "His stand on the racial question is not as radical as I would have made it; but I could not expect anybody else to see the racial situation as I see it. But President Coolidge has gone equally as far, if not farther, than any other President. "He comes from a section of the country where liberty is one of the keynotes in the treatment of all citizens. He appears to be willing to give citizenship to a square feel, whether he be black or white, Jew or Gentile, Protestant or Catholic, and American citizens can ask no more." Mentioned for Congress Mr. DéPriest is frequently mentioned as the logical man to be elected to Congress, by those who believe that colored men should be chosen to represent districts in which the majority of voters are Negroes, who is a natural born man, he has the demeanor and all the qualifications which would make for a successful career in the lower house. Comes From Black Belt Mr. DePriest lives in the second congressional district of Illinois, which embraces the "black belt" of Chicago. His strength in this district is evidenced by the fact that in the last election he was the campaign manager for Congressman Martin Madden, who has been representing this district for eighteen years. Mr. Madden is chairman of the appropriations committee, the most powerful in the House, and this has served to keep him in Congress. But he is in declining health and growing old, and it is impossible that he may voluntarily retire at the end of this Congress. If he does, Oscar DePriest will very probably be his successor.

Why History reads that old "John D" was once as destitute as me! You cannot tell by those you see where he has been or you might be. So that you'll find it not amiss I've said all that to tell you this— Our family's made a sudden change Since we have oil. To you our conduct may seem strange Since we have oil. A trude distant we must be In keeping with our dignity For we are in society— Since we found oil! And friends we never saw before. Since we have oil, Now, I confess we talk quite flat And drop a frequent 'dis' and 'dat' But people never notice that--- For we have oil! Our calling list has grown so long Since we found oil; And nothing we might do is wrong Since we have oil. Where once t'would cause an aw- ful row--- A sneering lip or low bred brow.--- They only shrug their shoulders now---/ For we have oil! We rule the Church, the School, the State— Since we have oil, And everything we do is great, Since we have oil; Altho' we may not have the brains We find the public never complains. The winning argument remains— That we have Oil! EVA A. JESSYE Muskegee, Okla. Dear Old Friend of Mine When I am jonesome and have no place to go. The best friend I have is the dear old Argo.

I have stood down here on this rough old pie, And watched the boats go out. The day is fair, the skies are clear. And they that sail the waters there, Have much to sing about. I have listened long to many a song That rose from the restless tide. Some Jack's farewell to his Annabel. A note of love their troth to tell, As he sails 'er the waters wide. The cherry hall to a passing sail, A shout that told of glee; The fluttering wings of the bird-like things. With the love sick song each Jackie sings, As they pass out to sea. I know, well know, that the boats must go. As I stand here on this rough old pier, And watch them sail away, I see beyond, the Sea Profound Whose depths no mortal skill can sound, Whose power none gainsay. And ships there are that sail afar Upon this unknown sea, That neer come back, and their fleeting track Is lost in the waters dark and black, And lost to memory. And some have freight of a heavy weight, And some are light and free; And some deep draw with a mighty awe, As a must sail by the self-same law That sail this mystic sea.

Der. 27- The sad plight of supposed super- sivilization manifested itself in every univilized manner last Tuesday when a moth formed and killed A. W. Birch, a prominent hotel owner, whole and possibly wounded Rob- bery, an employee whom Birch attempted to protect. The mob was unmasked and com- posed of more than a score of men, who went to the hotel where Jer- gin was employed three days ago and shot Birch down when he at- tempted to persuade them it desis- t from their attempt to lynch Jer- gin.

Birch brought Jeremiah to his hotel as porter. A letter was sent to Birch ordering him to discharge the Negro and send him out of the town Birch ignored the letter. The mob went to the hotel and called loudly for Jeremiah and stated their intention of lynching him on the spot Birch, with Jeremiah at his side hurried into the lobby of the hotel to intercede, but was she able to be coed up, speak, and Jeremiah for it politely told Mrs. Birch told state officials that she thought she could identify the man who killed her husband.

Kansas City Times Scores Race Hatred Commenting on the deplorable condition in a supposedly civilized country such as a dastardly deed is perpetrated the Kansas City Times says editorially under the caption: "The Harvest of Race Hatred." "The death at the hands of a mob of a white man and a Negro at Marlow, Okla., is the logical outcome of the racial prejudice that had gained headway in that town. Marlow is said to be one of several small Oklahoma towns that have infused to allow Negroes to live within their boundary. When the Negro went to Marlow, he engaged in honest labor, which was shot down, along with his employer, who was "Such lawlessness and racial antagonism are utterly on-American. Any man, regardless of race, has a right to live in any town so long as he conducts himself properly and is law-abiding. When he becomes an unstable person in the community, it is the duty of constituted authorities, and not a mob, to take action. Racial hatred and discrimination breed strife and lawlessness; they have their origin in prejudice and a false conception of right. Any community that moves the wind of racial hatred may expect to reap the wind of violence and mob rule." Death of While Man May county / Country It is followed by proponents of the Dyer Anti-Lawing measure that this Oklahoma incident may arouse public attention to such degree as to secure favorable action in Congress on the Dyer Bill. It is believed that the death of a prominent white-man will cause persons hereof, not interested in the measure to give serious thought to the diabolical consequences that could be allowed, if not avoided by the enactment of this measure into a national law. usher association, etc., worked with the shambam inspired by a great cause. The whole event was a revelation of the potential constructive resources of our people in Baltimore.

N.A.A.C.P.SAVES PANMORE FROM GA. POLICE About to be Taken South from N. J., Society Halts Proceedings With Habeas Corpus BARS "BIRTH OF NATION" Camden, N. J., Succeeds in Barring of Ku Klux Film There Three important cases have been fought lately by branches of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. One of them is an extradition case, one a protest against the showing of the "Birth of a Nation" film, both in New Jersey; and the third is a civil rights case won for a colored girl in Des Moines, Ia. Extradition The extradition case was fought in Trenton, for Silas Pammore, for whom Governor Walker of Georgia had sent an extradition application. Although the Georgia Governor had given assurance that the colored man would be given a fair trial in Georgia, and although Governor Walker the man to be extradited to Georgia, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People stopped the extradition by a writ of habeas corpus on which origination was denied in Newark, N.J. on December 26th. "Birth of Nation" Prompt and energetic action of the N. A. A. C. P. branch in Cambridge, N. J., has resulted in the barring of the Birth of the father of the picture for showing there. The picture has never been shown in Cambridge, owing to the N. A. A. C. P. efforts, though it has been exhibited in neighboring towns. The picture of the Cambridge branch, N. A. A. C. P., seeing the announcement of the picture, promptly communicated with the Director of Public Safety and with A. E. Furman, secretary of the branch, to peer before the board of Consents to approve showing of the picture. Civil Rights Case in Des Moines The Des Moines, Iowa Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People reports that a court verdict has been reached in a case of Miss Buford Ringburn, a colored girl, thrown out of a local theatre on November 11, 1922, because she was occupying a section that had been set apart for white persons. In 1914, just one month after the violation, a jury composed exclusively of white persons, returned a verdict of guilty against the theatre owner. The jury also ordered the Office by William E.

COOLIDGE FREED 11 FOR CHRISTMAS Washington, Dec. 25.—Christmas pardons for 11, including two colored persons, were announced by the resident yesterday. The two Alvin E. White was serving a five-year sentence in Leavenworth for having forged a paycheck whichever job which he completed. The release of Willis Swofford, a life-tamer, in Atlanta, was regarded at the Department of Justice, for having forged a paycheck which was made, as one of the most meritorious pardons granted in recent years. Swofford was sentenced on a murder charge, committed in the Indian territory twenty-one years ago. Department records disclosed that the prisoner, then a boy, went to the defense of his sister, who The stepfather attacked the youth and received a bullet from Swofford's pistol. Michaels Carnival To Stay Out The Michaels Brothers Carnival company management advised the youth to two weeks' date at Durham, and on November 6th, open a four days' Fair date at Snatchfield, N.C. with the stepfather. The stepfather will then go to Georgia and Florida in an effort to remain out all winter.

A. Jackson The making of motion picture films with colored casts seems to have declined. Little of consequence has been done by but two movies. Since the war more than fifty different projects were launched with the expectation of taking profits in this field. Most of them are now closed chapters in the history that will some day be written about this business. Most of them deserved that end, for they were promoted without either the technical training that is a requisite, or the essential capital. To be kind, they were the projects of dreamers. Some born even before being close to, if not actually within, the scope of the criminal sfu- Some of the companies that have retired from the business have left filmed pictures that are a credit to the producers, and deserve that need of credit to which single peers are entitled. The small group are the inevitable victims of being among the shock troops of any new Michaels Film However, confining the record to this year's productions, the Michaux Film Co., of Chicago, leads the field. Three new films are in the market with this year's registry on them. "The House, Behind the Cedars," "the origin, Seaside," and "The Hypocrite," are the three that have the greatest dramatic interest. The characters in each of these were portrayed by both with talent and dramatic experience. There were three other films made by Michaux this year. Ren Strasser Co. Another company, the Ben Stresser Co. of Norfolk, Va., made a nice comedy film that is now going the rounds in the Southern houses, and, judging from press notices, is well received. Unfortunately, profits must have been small, since Mr. Stresser has been made a judgment doctor in a New York court. The Norman Brothers, of Jacksonville, have set forth on a policy of building on a long-time basis and to that end have absorbed Lincoln Company, and we are informed that also taken over are some artists who have become known to the colored public under the Lincoln name. With its own output this concern has a good catalog of offerings for interested exhibitors. The "Bull-dogger" is its leader, and a new South Sea story, "Regeneration," is its latest release. The Meson, a subsidiary of one of the Kansas City, announces its entry in the colored field with a Western thriller, "In the Shadows," as its first offering. The Reol The Root, for awhile the most ambitious farm in the field, seems to have become dormant so far as new work is concerned. Its seven films made in previous years are still being offered to exhibitors, and one hears of them now and then then the newspaper exchanges. More colored artists have been appearing in pictures intended for the general public than heretofore. A host of them are working in wood, in fact, often to warrant an exhibition in South opening in Los Angeles for the employment of talent. While few are employed in important parts in any of the films, many more are seen than heretofore. A selected few with experience or of part of type are working currently steady. The prevails in New York and vicinity. Edna Morton Among the more active players in the East this year are Edna Morton, working at intervals for the Genuine Players-Lasky; Leon Williams, Wesley Jenkins, his ups and downs and dams; James Lester, the latter is in a new d" serial, and all of them have worked in some important productions. Peter Jones, for years the laboratory expert with the Selzakel Co., has fitted a picture of Moskva's How High Is Up," named for a catch phrase that these fellows have made famous on the stage. An airship is used with excellent comedy effects in the piece. The film was shot during the summer, but for some reason its release has been delayed. If this phase of Negro activities is to grow, either the general public must be educated into accepting Negro casts in the films, as in the shows, or more exhibitors catering to the public. The present market is too restricted to encourage extensive production. PLAYERS CHANGED. Andrew Bishop has done some re-aligning of talent in the two companies of Lafayette Players. The company that opened in "The Warning" at Lincoln Theatre in T. N. B. A. headed by Evelyn Preyer with Ed. Chas. Moore, Harry Plater, Chas. Thompson, A. B.

They go from there to the Globe in Cleveland at the termination of Movie Review The stage attraction which the management of the Regent selected as the holiday attraction at that house is the Smart Set Stars, headed by the Whitney brothers. The stars are not offering a full-plotled show, but tabloid comedy, the twin plot of which deals with two neighbors who cannot get along and the stealing of skirts serve to give S. Tutt Whitney, chief comic and who is one of the neighbors, and George McClellen, assistant comic and the other neighbor, a chance to get in their funmaking, especially in the scene before the robbers' cave. Julian Costello as the robber chief, acted with dash and spirit. McClellen scored a "rot" among the big holiday audience, especially the kids, by some sensational eccentric dancing, including a musical, which his charmed playing, which instrument, he is a master of, as on his recent appearance here. The feminine contingent is headed by Maud de Forsat, who won a big band for a song number sung in her big contralto voice, and Alma Daniels who danced and sang nicely. I. Homer Tutt danced in ever and often each time resplendent in a different surrealist outfit that was amazed by the chorus as it very much abbreviated, but it dances with dash and vim and won several encores in the radium danced by Tutt. One of the hits of the show is a song number entitled "Bewitx and Between," which is being featured by the company. This song was composed by Donald Haywood, musical director of the company, one hour before time for the company, and used as the title for the title will be used as the title of a big show of sixty people which the Whitneys will shortly put into rehearsal. "Dimb," the new, Ivyn Miller show, opened at the Gayety Theatre Sunday midnight for a week's engagement. This show in one or two respects mainly imitates Liza Minnelli's raised atmosphere of the former show. All the principals of "Liza" save Greenee and Drayton are with the new show, but the very fact that these two great stars are to estimate the show at a lower earlier than is really the case. The loss of these two stars would, of course, weaken any show, but "Dimb" in variety of entertainment does not suffer to do so in comparison with its predecessor. The book was written by Miller and the lyrics and music by ex-lionairman Tim Bryn, who leads the orchestra, and there is a slight plot which has to do with a young man stealing the inheritance from his father, to inquire about a stock in a dance hall that the town is building. It turns out that the money he stole was not his picks, but it is found, however, in a haunted house and returned to the bank from which it had been stolen. Among the unfolding of the plot the star players of the company offer a variety of entertainment that is well worth the price of admission. Miller, Billy Mills and Doc Green, all working under coop, are the chief funmakers and while opportunities for funming and make the most of them. One of the funnest bits in the show is Miller's attempt to renew his childhood acquainted with Dinah who has just pursued as a great theoretical sam from New York. This fun is brightened by the coaching that Mills, hiding behind a building is giving him. Other specialties that won Monday evening, from two to a dozen oncores were the dainty and graceful dancing of Margaret Simms, the top dancing of Alain Cazenave and Gertrude Saunders who, after offering the same numbers, she was heard in here before, put them over with her peculiar comedy manner that won her a dozen onscreen; the ecstatic dancing of the comedian, the comedian, the comedian, the comedian, the "blues" singing of Ephrael Kidney and last but not least, the Silverstone. Four which, "brought down the house." The chorus is comedy and has been well trained in singing, principal company are nicely costumed, but the costumes of the chorus, while quite numerous are of HERE and THERE BY J. A. Jackson The Leader-Tribune of Marion, Indiana, on November 11, used twelve inches space with a double coin based bead to add paper to the big bioshots of publications that have indulged the George Winters, "Shuffle Along" road show in the highest terms. One of the sentences in the story reads: "It was a "colored show and a record breaker."" but the show goes more merrily on, and is adding people. "Follow Me" played the Lyme theater in Pittsburgh after leaving New York, and is credited with having been next to the biggest earning attraction in the city for the week. Did over twelve thousand dollars. Some draw in any city. In mistake, the card of Everett Robbins appearing on this page in several previous issues, was made to read that he is located in New York, whereas Milwaukee is the town to hear his music, incidentally the band is not available till July 1924. Nice contract that. By way of diversion for the past year Everett has been making rolls for the Columbia Roll Co. of Chicago, and his rolls are on the best known coin operated piano rolls in the country, by the company "Hail Lock Blues," "I Grieve Constantly" and "Faint Nobodies Business." Henrietta Webb advises us that her little baby Ruth celebrated her fourth birthday on November 21, incidentally the long absent husband recently visited the Elkhard home of the family and Mrs. Webb visited the Broadway in Jersey City for old times so she worked a fair with the company. Then went home and had the "Fur" for a week, which wasn't at all nice. Paul Carter, whose "Murah" Company is running him from New York to Bergamo, Va. advises us that he has recovered from a nine-day illness, and he credits Dr. R. E. Burton, a local physician, with having accomplished his goal. In addition he had a threat specialist in at- REGENT Smart Set Stars GAYETY "Dinah" (By W. E. R.) poor material for the most part The away is source and also very poor. But as we said above, the show offers an entertaining evening DUNBAR "The Mysterious Witness' The special attraction which the management of the Dunbar has chosen to usher out the old year next Monday Is "The Mysterious Witness," co-starring Robert Gordon and the late Todd Tuesday, "The Second-Hand Lover," starring Charles (Buck) Jones will be the principal offering. Wednesday, "Vanity Fair," a screen version of Thackeryk's novel of the same title, co-featuring Mabel Baldwin Ebsworth and George Walsh. **Thursday, "What's Wrong With the Women," will be the main offering.** Friday a special feature will show along with two specials on Saturday. Printed in Lower, with all-star cast, will be the principal attraction. ROOSEVELT "Potash and Perlmutter" The initial feature that will usher in New Year's week at the Roosevelt will be "Potush and Portmutter" a screen version of the famous comedy drama of Jewish life, which has been a stage success for several seasons. (A synopsis of this picture will be found elsewhere in this issue.) This picture will be shown on Wednesday and Thursday, "The Marriage Maker" co-starring Agnes Ayres, Jack Holl and Rolie de la Roche, will be the big feature, and Friday and Saturday, "The Purple Highway," starring Midge Kennedy, will be the special offering. STAR Dad James' Versatile Strollers For the Christmas week attraction for the patrons of the Star, Manager Berger selected bad Jones' Versailles players company, coached Willie Toussaint, and will present this company is comprised of a half score of entertainers that live up to their title of versatility. They are offering a skit the first half entitled the "Horse's Neck." The opportunity for each member of the company to show his or her talent in singing and dancing. Willie Toussweet is the chief comic and he has few comics in the business as a laugh collector. He is able assisted by his "Butterfly," better known as Dead James during the offering delightts the audience with his time singing, he possessing a fine baritone voice, which he can turn into a double voice singing in falsetto Miss Toussaint, who holds the family's treasured violin, the family voice and her numbers received a big band. Also one of the vocal features was a duet between Dead James and Marilyn Ford. The song feature of the show is "You Are the Kind of a Girl That Men Forge." Other members of the company are Henry Moore, juvenile; Elma Sampson, Orinne Coxes; Elma Johnson, James. Pictures complete the film. CAREY "Beyond the Rocks" Patrons of the Carey have a great treat in store next Monday in the initial special feature of the week which the management has chosen, namely, "Beyond the Rocks," restoring the famous Rudolph Valentine and the glorious Gloria Swanson. Tuesday, the special feature will be "Paulrod and Sam," a screen version of one of the stories of boyhood Philbin, Gareth Hughes, Judy Messinger and Ben Alexander enact the leading roles. Wednesday, the usual program of short comedy and drama subjects will be shown. Thursday, "The Devil's Partner," co-featuring Norma Sherer and Edward Rosman will be the special feature, and Friday, The Prairie Mystery, co-featuring Norma and Sarah Currin will be the special feature. Saturday, the usual program of short features will comprise the program. "Fallow Me" played the Lyme theater in Pittsburgh after leaving New York, and is credited with having been next to the biggest earning attraction in the city for the week. But over twelve thousand dollars. Some draw in any city. Billy Wilson, the progressive manager of the Lincoln Theatre in Louisville, KY, has installed new leases in the projection machines of the house, and placed a silver screen. Wells and Wells continue to keep busy in the Middle West. The Indian new movie is for December 3rd, after playing Cleveland and Detroit. Independently Al. Wells, who is a plebricider of the Degrees, has been doing a lot of excellent creative work with whom he has come into contact. The Six Polluton Porters' Band are attracting nationwide attention, and the more than four hundred quartettes have done much to add to the joy of the city's music in the past year. The boys have been intimate socially with the show-folk for a long time, but the new activities in the group groups even closer. The hotels of the race have been sustained almost entirely by those two types of workers who now are becoming as one. "Follow Me," is playing the big Southern cities, Nashville, last week, Memphis, then Kansas City, and on. The show is going along nicely, but the musicians are showing a lot of disregard for the efforts of the management to keep them employed. "Blind," is staying in the lobbyette Theatre for a total of three weeks, then the Mittenital production "Come Along Mandy," opens December 21th. The show which will be starred by the band is set out already. All special stun good comedy. The bit rioted the house. An encore was denied them. Nash, Tuggett and Nash, worked in one, did the familiar barit- one bit of jumping on the bat which seemed to have been there to repeat a great employment. 2nd BIG SMASHING WEEK COM.

Several others are doing it too. My how ministrels have begun <to get highbrow. Jos. S. Higgers, lordmaster with the World Brothers Circus, has closed his season and gone to his home in Lexington, Mo. where he will devote the winter to instructing a woman's band of forty pieces. He declares that this season, under the supervision of W. R. Tumber, slideshow manager, and Neal Bainmiller, of the circus has been the most pleasant of his experience. He says, "I have never been with a better bunch of women." Tim Ossley of the Georgia Minstrels announces his intention to move his family from Indiana to Chicago at the end of the press season, and he is caring for their future in fine fashion. Th management of the Rubin and Cherry shows has favored the large with a copy of their season's routebook. From front to back cover it is a most interesting publication. The Lucky Boy Minstrels is given a nice place in the list of attractions, a fact that should teach every performer the value of continuous and loyal service, for this booklet will carry their reputations to places they themselves cannot reach. WATERMELON GIRLS IN SHREVEPORT Star Theatre, Shreveport, La. Dc. 19—Taylor's "Watermelon Girls" with Chas, Taylor as principal, comic, Reggie Taylor leadin lady, Emma Nash Engleman, George Tuggett and Gee, Nash as conduits, Hattie Sturge, Lance Markin, Cecile McKay and Hattie Owen, nine people, was the attraction. In the estimation of the more than half filled house, despite the torrential rain, the show was costumed up to standard and disclosed talent above the average for the Nivent. The opening number and drill by the six girls drew immediate applause. Tuggett and Nash, both under cork, put out some coke, sang a song by Gee,唱 at the piano followed for a bow. Miss Fowler followed them with "My Sweetie Went Away," assisted by the chorus with a neat bit of mirror play. A wrench character working with a large broken mirror provided Taylor and Taylor were next with talk, songs and dances, speed with troople music, went over big, and refrained from taking an encore. Taylor going to full stage, put over "Believe Me," on the bells to an encore. His comedy work with the orchestra as the butt, was well done. The girls then bid the stage with a big jug number after which twenty minutes of Holok drama was offered to good effect. All of Miss Taylor's work was well done and she is the star of the act. It was well balanced little group with a high standard of work. WESLEY VARNELL GET OUT NEW SONGS Billy Smith and Denny Campbell have formed a partnership for the production of songs to be distributed for them by the Sherwood Music Company of New York. "Try Me Again," "The Ragtime Monkey Bites," "The Brown Wood Jokes," "How To Stir Up the Stuff," and "Tonight, Dear Girl Of Mine," are their initial offerings. 2nd COM Matinee Gayety HERE AND THERE HERE AND THERE According to a letter from Harry Fidler, the Harvey Minstrel people are having a hard time reconciling themselves to the quietude of the small towns after their week of the big city. Mr. Saul Coleman, one of the brothers who manage the LaTeX program at the Theatre on to the stage on Saturday night and address the company. He told them they "were the best behaved company that ever played his house." Yes, he said company, not just min- Hattiesburg, Miss., got an unexpected treat from the "Sibs Green From New Orleans" Company, recently for it was there that Mr. Collier dressed the band up in their new uniforms. The suits are of sky blue trimmed in black braid with caps to match, and set of yellow buttocks. The swapping points have same suits with white trimmed caps and tan walking sticks. Booker hit an extra high note on his cornet in sheer pride, according to a confidential informant, and how the boys "strutted their stuff that day." Helen Bunbray has rejoined the show, and Pauline Hodge has left. Harvey Baker, tenor of New York, is conducting a Wednesday singing class in the Harlem district. Mr. Goldman advises that the new Meso feature film will be ready for release about December the first. He is very confident that the picture will make history.

Time, the visitors won the game by two points, but only the treckery of Fate, who seems to frown on Loendi every time Coffey is met, and the premature blowing of the tinner's whistle ending the game, led to the pointed victory. The victory certainly was painted because at the time the whistle blow, though but two seconds before the end of the game, Loendi was in the midst of hurt and all indications pointed to them lying in the game. After an argument of some length, the referee and umpire finally decided that the remainder of the game should be played, but—oh, what's the use to talk about it? Loomdi had no mni who could get the tip-off from long After. Coffey succeeded in keeping the ball in their possession until the game only ended. The ball was a typical Coffey-obedient fox. Loomdi's chances were hurt somewhat when "Happy" Nicks, stering forward, collided with Marks in the first scrimmage. Time was called while both players received patches over their eyes. But an after-game investigation disclosed the fact that Nicks' wound was far deeper and far more painful than that of Marks. The sterling forward was also playing under the additional handicap of having a stolved linger. The ball was not himself Thursday night, but now could question his camaraderie. At the end of the half-time, Coffees were leading by ten points; the score standing 22-12 in their favor. But with the start of the second period, Loomil got under way. Led by Posey and Speaks Moton, the Coffees scored Adler and Levine, checked dead of his trucks, the Fullerton street lads started to cut down the lead. By the simple device of working the bail down under the basket instead of attempting spectacular shots from mid-throat, the blue and gold quintet cropped in a point, point, point; they were six points in arrows, but going strong. The fourth quarter started out with a rush, and two fouls and a ledg goal brought Loomil to the very brink of a deadlock, the score reading 33-12. A free toss by Adler gave the Coffees a slight break ahead, but Levine lowed a brief skirmish; the incidents as stated above, and the game was over. Coffey Club, 34 Leondi, 32 Mervis, F.

In reference to the musical phase it will be remembered that the "Blues" was originated by Wm. H. Handy, a resident of Memphis, and his first blues was "The Memphis Blues." Now as to the corporeal output, or to be more explicit, the "Blues" singers who have nailed from that State. Several weeks ago we had the pleasure of interviewing Albert Hunter, who in the writer's judgment is the queen of all the "Blues" singers before the public today, and discovered that she hailed from Memphis. Bessie Smith, "Blues" singer and Columbia recording star, was in the city last week, appearing in her "Blues" singing specialty at the boulevard of Ellicott from the custon of eliciting from the leading stars of the week something of their private life for the benefit of AFRO readers, we sought Miss Smith for an interview and to, and behold, when we opened the door, what place do you think she named? chattanooga. TENNESSEE. Began Stage Career at Seven Miss Smith, as stated, was born in Chattanooga, and started as an amateur kid singer appearing in connection with the shows that came to town, and from the outset, she was a hit. She joined one of the travelling company companies to womanhood, she ran the guinot of tab show field, but always her singing stood out, and she was always a hit in whatever company she was appearing. Finally the Columbia Record people heard of her and gave her a tryout. She scored and was signed on the spot. Today she is one of this company's most popular two songs which have not yet been released, one entitled "Blue Riesie" and the other, "Somebody Has Got To Do 'Em Down." Miss Smith, who is married (her second venture by the way), and whose spouse is travelling with her, does not go in for much recreation or sport in the city chief pleasures, sleeping house and driving the Dodges touring car. She has no children. Her parents are dead, but has four sisters and a brother living in famine. Her parents read the book Smith makes her home in Philadelphia. She expressed disgust at the poor attendance at the Doughless, stating that everywhere else they were going to be a turnover business. - W. E. R.

Howard street, is charged with attacking a 9-year-old white girl when she boarded an elevator which he operated at the Max Richillon tailoring establishment Monday. Edwards, it was alleged, attempted to assault the girl after he had stopped the elevator, and according to the letter, the girl shook when she screamed for help. He escaped following the outcure, but was later arrested by Officer Lewis Klingerburg of the Western District. Testimony produced at the hearing Wednesday showed that Edwards had recently finished a four-year term at the use of Correction for committing rape upon a little colored girl when he was 17 years of age. Magistrate Cadden held him for the action of the Grand Jury without bail. TO EULOGIZE DEAD The annual memorial services of the Order of Moses will be held a Metropolitan M. E.

The machine Powell was driving ran upon the sidewalk and he was held for a hearing at the Traffic Court Thursday morning. The AFRO presents today the last of its series of world famous paintings by Henry O. Tanner, the colored American artist, who now calls Paris his home. The title of the painting is THE RESURRECTION OF LAZARUS. It is owned by the French Government, and hangs now in the renowned Luxembourg Art Gallery of Paris. Inspiration for this painting came from the following verses of Scriptures, "And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said: 'Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.'" "And when he had spoken, he cried out in a loud voice, Lazarus come forth. And he that was dead came forth." Reproduction of other paintings of Mr. Tanner, which have been printed in the AFRO include: CHRIST AND NICODEMUS, owned by the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts; CHRIST AND THE DISCIPLES AT EMMAUS, which is owned by the French Government and hangs in the Luxembourg, and THE ANNUNCIATION, owned by the Wilstach Collection in Philadelphia. Mr. Tanner is now in Philadelphia, settling up the estate of his father, the late Bishop Tanner, of the A. M. E. Church.

GOVERNOR'S BUDGET NOW COMPLETED Program of Appropriations For Next Three Years Is Sent To The Printer MORGAN TO GET FUNDS Increased Appropriation Is Also In Store For the New Victory Hospital Governor Ritchie's budget for the next three years has been com- pleted and sent to the printer. When published, it will contain an additional appropriation for Morg- gan College and also a larger grant to the new Victory Hospital. Usual sums will be designated for other colored institutions and the aged homes. Bowle Normal School will get besides its maintenance funds, appropriations for a new building to replace the one recently destroyed by fire, and a sum in the neigh- borhood of $200,000 will be asked for Priests' Alms, academy for the next three years' work. Interest centers especially in the appropriation to be made for Morgan College. President Spencer has asked for $45,000, or $15,000 a year for the college, and a financial appropriation of $70,000 for a new science hall. In all likelihood this will not be granted. The appropriation for Morgan College was only $3,000 last year, and the Governor feels that a 500 per cent increase is too much to ask. Democrat leaders have pointed out to the Governor that the state is appropriating a half million dollars a year for the higher education of white youth in schools which are closed to Negroes. To their view every Negro is being taxed to provide collegiate medical and agricultural training for others when it is denied to his race. This system of tax robbery whereby the Negro pays and gets nothing was called to the attention of the Governor, and he was urged to make proper provision for the only colored school in the state. On the basis of population, the appropriation for Morgan should be at least $50,000 a year, athe the amount asked is below this sum. 800 WAITERS ORGANIZE (By The Associated Negro Press).

Department Store over a long period of time, Henry Brown, theological student at Morgan College, and who lives at 217 W. Hiddle street, was sentenced to 18 months in the House of Correction in the Criminal Court Wednesday. Joseph Holder, 600 School street, alleged to have been the brains of the robbery scheme, also pleaded guilty and was sentenced to four years. Both of the men were employed at Hutzer Bros. as porters and they are said to have taken goods systematically including expensive suits worn over an apron, and all of the men were working in a place over a period of several months. Detectives who worked on the case recovered about $1300 worth of material including several articles found in the pawn shop, but they did not know the actual amount of goods taken from the place.

Phillips, G16 Sanford Place, formerly a nurse in the city health department, has been appointed nurse in charge of the children's ward at the new State hospital for consumptives at Henryton in Carroll County. Mrs. Phillips is one of the early graduates of the Nurses Training School at Freedman's Hospital in Washington. Afterwards she took a post course at Lincoln Hospital in New York. She held an executive position at the latter hospital for several years before coming to Baltimore. Recently she served as city nurse in the public schools. 75 Bols Empty at Henryton Propaganda is blamed for the 75 empty beds at the hospital which has only recently been opened for colored patients. Last week Superintendent Sloeg reported 25 patients at the hospital and room for 75 additional. Samuel K. Dennis, member of the State committee in charge of the hospital, reported that he was assisted at the lack of response of colored people. Everybody knows that the death rate among colored people from consumption is twice that of white, yet the new State hospital has a number of empty beds and no applications. Those who are unable to pay and for those who can pay the cost of board, lodging and medical attention is only 500 a day. Here we had planned to go before the next Legislature urging appropriation for an additional unit to the hospital. We had also planned to make the best use of the facilities the State has already put at our disposal. Thot Hospital Filled Down at the House of Reformation at Cheltonham, is a young lad suffering from tuberculosis. He is segregated as much as possible, but takes his meals and sleeps with the patient.

I have no criticism to make on the music, but would suggest that the program is shorter and more strictly for the benefit of the box receipts.

If it had been played a drum solo in stead of rendering a piano number, Ourselves Getting back to the "squawk." I might as well being it up as it is being brought up every day. It appears quite a number of our folk didn't like the arrangements made in the book, but don't mean the chairs were not so comfortable or were out of alignment, or for that matter that there was any physical inconvenience as to the cars or eyes. The thought I want to convey is there were many persons who suffered mental injury and arrangements which were said to have been made by Mr. S. S. Booker, the Secretary of the "Y". It is claimed by those parties that Mr. Booker had seats reserved for whites and it was very much just as some theatres have certain seats delegated for the use of colored patrons. These people maintain this should not have been. They further maintain it is bad enough when we are Jim Crowed by others, and positively intolerable when Jim Crowed by our own people. To every question there is always two sides and those people who favored the plan or at least would tolerate it argue that under existing conditions Mr. Booker's procedure was both practical, and right. They explain that the idea is to bind up strong ties and in order to do this they must have publicity and must have encouragement. The support (financial) and publicity must come in a great measure from white people, hence they must be catered to. The white people being used to this "lim Crow" arrangement would not come unless it was maintained, hence the practicability of the scheme. To give above what is going the round and to this I am going to add my own opinion, which differs from both. First of all, the Y. M. C. A. is strictly a pauler organization in the full sense of the word, that is to say, it lives on charity, and people who live on charity cannot be the only branch of the "Y" lives on fees and dues picked up from its members to which sum is added money that comes from the Central Branch, which in turn gets it from somewhere else. If the money put in by the colored brother does not suffice then the Central swells the pot. The Drud Hill Avenue Branch cannot stand on its own legs, it must be supported. Thus when the Ross down to the Central calls up the Drud Hill Avenue Branch and says, "I want you to reserve a section for white people," there is nothing else to be done. This same thing could not be done to an institution like, say the Hod Carriers' Union, because this organization is independent, is totally supported by its members, and is in a position to talk back without any danger of being put out of business.

Charter of Oriental University, Virginia Corporation, Revoked As Many Other Schools Selling Degrees For Few Dollars May Be Smoked Out Richmond, Va., Dec. 25.—The revoking of the charter of Oriental University in the City Circuit Court on the ground that it was a diploma mill and sold its degrees, has started a movement which calls attention to many such schools in this vicinity. Effort is being made to get in touch with specialized universities, which have for some time been soliciting D. D. degrees to pastors for 115 and 215. The Oriental University was found guilty of selling and offering to sell degrees, without a course of study or examination; for fraudulently listing dead and unfit persons as patrons and teachers; and for awarding degrees to persons unit to receive them. These diplomas are said to have been sold to both white and colored. Heimthu T. Holter, white, perpetual president of the "University" testified that Dr. W. T. Harris once U. S. Commissioner of Education, and now dead, agreed to sponsor the university then the spirit medium. James C. Jones, U. S. Treasury employee and plannerist, testified he got $5 for writing a lecture for Holler at one time. He did not deliver it to any students. He said he attended one faculty meeting. He told of grading one paper on pharmacy, the student, getting 95 per cent, and that the "Bishop" told him to go easy on the paper. He said that he did some work for the school at one time in the capacity of a notary, and signed two diplomas. This was the extent of his work. He was the only colored writer. Leo S. Cusman, white, 50 years of age, Baltimore proprietary medicine manufacturer, told of trading fifty or sixty old records for a course in psychology and a degree. He said the course never came, but the degree of psychology was few months afterward. He said he did not receive any instructions and did not write a thesis or examination of any kind.

HEALTH TALK NO. 35 BY DR. R. D. MALLETTE REGAIN HEALTH. O. "Regain Health" What is the cause of pain, weakness and disease. That is a question over which untold thousands of speeches have been delivered duringugling. Some lay it to food combinations, others say germs and bacteria, and still others put responsibility on several things in the way they mean the mean time, the sick are increasing in numbers, every hospital is being enlarged; and despite the so-called advances in therapeutic science, there are more patients today than ever before in history. IOPRACTIC REMOVES CAUSE regard to this situation, here is that Dr. Alfred Walton, the founder of the Essex County Hospital, its first chief of the Surgical Staff, has to say: "Untold millions of human beings have suffered all their lives and died in pain, the CAUSE of their sufferings must have been quarrelled among themselves as to the form or character of the disease—whither it be tweedle-dum or at the present time millions of people praying for relief, whose sufferings can only be met by removing the pressure and responsibility for the trouble, and this is. Chiropractors are doing constantly." What YOU are interested in is PERMANENT results. Those who want permanent health at the nearest drug store, but those who want permanent health and strength must look to correction of spinal subluxations. Chiropractic is the most effective cause of disease. It has done so in 95 per cent. of cases resorting to it, and every person suffering from an injury must know that out just what Spinal Adjustments can do for them.

True the Christmas bells still ring, Santa Claus makes his rounds, and the devout and the "without" go to church, but yet there is something lacking. However, this year some people have seen fit to make an effort to put the Christmas fever in the air, and Mr. Daniel Credit, principal of School 104, is one of the ring leaders of the movement. On the Friday before Christmas, Mr. Credit had all of the little fellows in his school lined up and with himself in the lead, they proceeded to Sharon Baptist Church, St. Katherine's Church, and several other places where they sang carols for the benefit of the public in general, and those critters who don't go to church even on Christmas, in particular. The idea of getting these carols off their chest in this manner brings before us an old Christmas custom of merry England, the only difference being in England at each place a carol was given, some plum duff and old nog was passed around. Of course in this instance, the singers were almost too young to get full of Christmas cheer, but they got credit for the effort just ditt' with them all the time. But youngsters will get tired and be force they could reach their last stop they had to be disbanded. The last stop was booked to be the Royal Palace Hotel, and the proprietor had made arrangements to disburse some (Christmas candy) to the youngsters in the new Blue Room of the hotel, which is just being completed, but they did not show up, so the candy will be delivered to Santa Claus and he will deliver to each stocking on Christmas. We have had genii in all ages. They crop out here and there in the world's history when least expected. There have been thousands of them, but whenever you speak of a genius you speak of them, but this cost is am about to bring forth a club that is a genius. These few lines are to introduce to you the Entre Nous Club, a wonderful organization of ladies who have defied all precedents, examples, records and high water marks. The Entre Nous like all clubs, gave a dance. This dance was a fun dance, but he expected from the dress stand point, in fact, from every angle it was a screening success. Guests were present from New York, Newark, Philadelphia and Washington, not to mention Annapolis and Catonsville. There must have been at least two hundred. The spectacle was something grand to behold and Ambrose Smith's Orchestra delivered the goods as if they had used the needle just like the orchestra performed just like a "doppe horse"; it never let up until the barrier had been crossed. But where does the genius end come in? Well, it is like this: the amazing feature was the great success on five gallons of lemonade and on all of anything it. Nor was there food in the house. Not a crumb was crushed there that evening, even the customary block of ice cream was marked off the list. Can you beat it? But, as successes, they should sell their formula, they can make money. BISHOP HURST HOME BISHOP HURST HOME Despite the fact that migration has taken about 90,000 colored from the state, North Florida has suffered no loss of population, there being a large influx of Negroes from Georgia to work in the orange grove there. This is the opinion of Bishop John Hust, who has just returned from Florida, where he presided over the Annual West Florida and Florida Conference of the A. M. E. Church. He says that the conference collections were up to the average indicating general prosperity. W. J. Green, prohibition agent, recently transferred from the local field to Philadelphia, will not go about his new work for a while. He is now recovering from an operation performed two weeks ago, and sat up for the first time this week.

Magistrate Ranft of the Northwestern Police Station made that possible when he made Ollie Harris shell out his last $10 hears and turn them over to his wife, Mrs. Corn Harris, 866 Baker street, Sunday morning. Harris had been held into court on the complaint of Mrs. Harris that he had come in drunk Saturday night and not only cursed her money, but after striking her over the head told her that Gabriel would probably toot his bone before he gave her any coin. "Well, Harris, what have you to say about that?" asked the Magistrate. "Give your honor, I was going to give her some money when I got ready, but she could not wait." "Well, are you ready to give her some now?" asked His Honor. When Harris answered, yes, his wife Magistrate that he ought to have $16, according to her calculation. other live, or I will send you back until you do," whereupon Harris "found the other five, and taking the money, the Mag- istrate passed it over to Mrs. Harris, saying, "Merry Christmas for you, and turning to Harris, said, "It might be a Happy New Year for you." "Judge, it was just a church argument," said Mrs. Effie Holsey, 1310 N. Mount street, when she and Henry S. Ball, caught making loud and unseemly noises on the street, were brought into court on Sunday morning. "I am not by accident" at a friend's home, and according to Mrs. Holsey had engaged in an argument over church matters, and the argument had extended out into the street. "Explain this church argument," said the Magistrate to Ball, who knew the judge. "Well, Judge, it was like this: we are supposed to be kinder friends; you know what I mean, and she followed me all down the street and I drew back as if to strike her, just to frighten her, and she screamed murder. I had some other matters to attend to later the night, and did not want to go to them. "Well, I guess that was some more church matters," said the judge as he dismissed them.

Figures Just Issued Show Sharp Decline in Mob Outbreaks 61 LYNCHED IN 1922 Decline Due to Migration and Agitation for Fed- New York, Dec. 27.—Sharp decline in the number of lynchings in the United States during the year 1923, the figure being 26 against 61 in 1922, was held to the agitation for a Federal anti-lynching law, and to the northward migration of Negroes. A shipment today by Japan, Valeh Johnson, for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Mississippi and Florida lead the list of lynchings States with 5 mule murders each. Georgia is second with 4. Oklahoma is third with 2. Arkansas, Alabama and Texas have each. Other States in which no lynching occurred are: Louisiana Missouri and Virginia. Seven Assault Cases Only 7 out of the 26 persons were lurged with assault upon women, and in the case of one of the seven, in junior of the University of Missouri, grave doubt was subsequent to east upon the assault of offenses for which methods occurred include: mission identity, hiding besiege, assisting with white women, being an automobile accident, remaining in a town where Negroes were of wanted, and frightening white children by walking horribly behind them, victims of lynching hobs were white men. One colored woman was lynched in Pickens, Miss. Migration a Cause "Two main causes brought about the decline in lynching in 1922," said Mr. Johnson. "First was the negotiation on the floor of Congress, and throughout the country, for a Federal anti-lynching bill, the measure introduced by Mr. Dyer passing the last House of Representatives. The second main cause was the Northward migration of Negroes by the hundreds of thousands. This has borne in on the South that lynchings will have to be stopped if the best labor the South can get for its plantations and industries is to be retained. Prospects for the enactment of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill in the press are Congress is about to push the Cobbled-ant-lynching pronouncement in his message to Congress. It is to be hoped that in a very few years, the decline of lynching will have been completely wiped out in America." CHURCHVILLE, MD.

Any such attempt, ment, will cause unhappiness "When you say that the Negro should start out for himself," replied Dixon, "it is equivalent to saying that here amidst this wealth of development, distilled by the human race from the bitter experiences of thousands of years he should start again like a troglodyte. In these days of express trains, should one be compelled to travel in a prairie schooner until he has learnt to build his own railway, while the process that once took centuries can now be consummated in a week? It would be just as logical to ask, What form of training is preferable for white men? As no two men are alike, human intellect cannot be standardized. Any such attempt, besides preventing full attainment, will cause unhappiness. Everyone, as Shakespeare ad- few contemptive puffs of his clivses, should study what he most groo education, weren't we? 1—1—as well as black, be permitted to tangle with him like a dart-pick out his own occupation and he had just become conscious of follow it without interference. In the fact that he had dined with this way and this way only until Negro. Dixon had been conscious of gentle employment—he removed. With the Sense he covered his comp "You also spoke of the large number of Negro doctors, lawyers and preachers, and the relatively few that pursued it. I happen to have the figures here. The census of 1919 shows: Whites, one doctor for every 512; Negroes, one for every 2,195. Lawyers, white, one for every 1,620. Preachers, white, one for every 813; Negroes, one for every 650. The answer is that since the Negro has difficulty in getting employment he has to follow those preachers he can strike out for himself." "Well, I was right about the preachers, anyway." Judged by the ratio among the whites you are, preachers would be less exploited in that field he is more easily exploited than in any other; therefore, the shysters, who among the whites would be lawyers and speculators, would be highly gratate to ministry—and to hair and complexion doctoring." The train began to show down as the lights of a town were visible. "What place is this?" asked the Senator. "About five minutes. Wye change engines." "I think I'll take a walk then." Dixon took the sleeping child to his mother and going to the drawing-room in the kitchen his hat and overcoat. Both left the smoker and went on out the vestibule. As Dixon opened the door of his bedroom, he incompelled the Senator to button up his overcoat around his neck. "Pretty cold!" he said bopping around. "I saw a bit cold up on the mountains. It's about 25 below tonight." The train stopped and both stepped off into the crisp, midnight. The sign of the railroad lunch-room. "Have we time for a cup of coffee?" he asked, hurriedly. "I come along, then." he said catching the coat sleeve. Dixon left the car in charge of the sleeping-car conductor and both been started on a tractor over the cracking pavement. The Senator ordered coffee and sandwiches for Dixon and himself. After a few monthfuls the Senator took nervously through the window. "We've plenty of time, sir," responded Dixon, guessing a cause of his injury. "We've trained the train conductor just getting his now. Then the train started again the passenger followed by Dixon, returned to the smoker. "Throwing his hat and overcrowd on the seat, the Senator settled himself comfortably." DENTON, MD.

It would be just as logical to is preferable for white men? man intellect cannot be stand-besides preventing full attain- few contemplative puffs of his idiot, "we were bad speaking of Negro education, weren't we? I—1—1" he continued haltingly, as a man of the like, as he had just become conscious of the fact that he had dined with a Negro. Dixon had been conscious of the incident all along. When he recovered his composure he said: "What do you think of the late leader of your race, Booker T. Washington? I should judge that you are against his policies." "If it is his policy of advocating the surrender of certain rights for progress in other directions that Booker T. Washington has been much blamed, and is still being blamed for not standing up more firmly for the rights of his people, Booker T. gave me that he had books among the colored people. Many wouldbe patrons, he said, refused saying that they did not like the way in which he had bows and knotted his hair. He had Booker T. been endowed with an unbending spirit. I cannot now how he could have done otherwise and carried out his life work. The people needed his help were in the South, where any assertion of Negro rights would, as you know, not only have been presented, but might have serious results. And he showed a defiant spirit there would simply have been no Tuskegee, and schools with the spirit of Tuskegee were white and colored. The majority of any race is ill for industrial pursuits. This would be particularly rare of a people who recently came to the United States, there were those whites who complained that Tuskegee, with his thoroughness, was making not servants, but masters, thus threatening the white people. Washington thus done more than any other person or agency that I know of toward guiding the foot of the article, struggling mass of freed slaves of progress. It is true that others will have to strive hard to make the impression he gave Negro subdimination, yet the blame, for this, will be on which he was forced to adopt himself in order to do his work. "But whatever one may say of his methods no one can imagine better. He was a genuine desire born of the largeness of his heart to do good, Booker 7. Washington built his fame on the surrest of all foundations—unselfish service. Some object that he made a great deal of effort to do. I know of no other American who deserved it better than he. There are a very few of his crimes, black or white, indeed, few citizens of any race. I cannot conceive his unselfishness, his energy, and his persistence. "And yet, I present the title that was given him, that of leader of the Negro race. He did not have the spirit of a leader, that is, if Hampion, Toussaint L'Overture, George Washington, Phineas Kearney, or John Brown, the leader of the spirit of surrender so much admired in Booker Washington by many TREGO, MD.

They are not deaf of praise for the slave who stayed at home guarding his master's property while the master was gone off to war to tighten his grip on the slave. The opinion of the white men who advised surrender to King George and remained loyal to him during the Revolutionary War? I think that the slave self-assertion left in them they would have taken everything of value they could have set their hands on, and escaped, snaring no one under his protection. His life is to foster and stimulate self-respect in mankind—to let every man and every woman feel that he or she is an indispensable entity in the universe. There ought to be singing or bow-towing to castle. The Senator did not respond. Dixon continued: "A matter of two is better than two of two diametrically opposed policies in this nation. What is right for one body of citizens living in the same hats, segregation of any kind is injustice. Why set a man aside if you do not wish to treat him differently? 'There can no more be two kinds of lines,' he said. 'Than there can be two kinds of straight lines.' Moreover, this policy of lattice is bad for white men and Negro really is even worse scores with the white man—I speak of the South—he should keep on fattering him and thus at one comp undertake both his character and his purpose.

Bed-Time Stories In A Pullman Smoker (Lincoln Service) "He was negligent, the court had said, "and as a porter, charged with exercising extraordinary care in the traveling welfare of passengers in his coach, he was not diligent in the performance of his duties. Hence, it follows that the company is liable, and that plaintiff is entitled to the full amount of his claim, including the expenses for medical care and attendance, his interest, and the amount of income which he would have derived he be able to follow his usual occupation. Following this, Joe the porter was taken to the hotel, and utterly exacerbated by his chief, and fired. He blackened boots a while pushed a tray at the hotel, ran on the lake boats a season; and then, after plues and tears, the superintendent indicted him on the eastern division while on the eastern division. And he was again—the same Joe I had known at Hampton. Hadn't seen him in ten years, but he had the same big brown eyes, the same honest voice, and the same round "Yes, she-first time I've had a run in two years," he said, with a laugh, as he dexterously lighted match and touched my finger. Then he went on his way, but I know they're not going to keep me at this very long. Too much traffic this way, nowadays; and the boss knows that I used to make up berths faster than any porter or division," he continued with grip. "What was the trouble? Haver's you been on the road right along?" I asked, in real surprise. "I too, you bounced me, when I relied. They bounced me, when I a mans foot was smashed in a lower berth. I know it was an accident. I know they had to touch its course. Anyway, I lost out; but I sure inspected this car myself before we pulled out tonight. They had a clean inspection, I concluded. BELAIR, MD. "Good for you, Joe: stick it out; you'll make good," he said as I started to forsake the smoker for my bed. "Taint so easy tonight," Joe persistently continued. "I've been helping out Fred McQuade for the last two hours." "Who was it?" "Oh his brunken man on the dead head couch in front of us. You must remember him, don't you? His dad, you know helped me with the fire. You've been on a nighttalk just after we pulled out. He's there in upper one now. All I have to do is to look after the rear lights. We cut out the rear lights. We cut out the rear lights. There's the signal now. I'll hustle out so as to be ready to flag any 'wildcats' in case the Capn lays over here for a white." Joe concluded, as he grabbed a red hunter, and I betokt myself to expectant sleep. I reached my lower, turned out the light, and after congratulating myself at the prospects of doing off before the train started, turned my back to the aisle and closed my "Crusht!"—a sharp jerk—the falling myself on shattered glass, and I found myself in the maze, with a short rush in my forehead, before I could what had happened. Frightened voices added to the sudden disorder. "Keep quiet," the conductor said, as he dressed in the front door. "Nothing so sad. Nothing to be excited over. I'll telegraph the junction and they'll have another car here in a fifty. We'll be away in an hour, he snapped. "Anyone hurt or killed?" someone anxiously impaired. No passengers reached the concession stand, but the porter, he's a gorger. Don't know who he was. If he stayed in here where he belonged, he'd been alive now, the conductor added. And a great sold from lower one heard throughout the shattered EASTON, MD. IRREGULARITIES BRING SERIOUS RESULTS Every Woman Should Guard Her HEALTH—Use BENEDICTA: If you are retarded, irregular or scanty, your health is affected. The kidneys are overburdened and weakened. BENEDICTA regulates you and takes the dread out of these periods where they mean pain and suffering. Mrs. Carrie Dix, Schoolfield, Va., writes: "I had been sick nearly all the time from doctors, but they did not good. I tried BENEDICTA and I think it is worth its weight in gold. BENEDICTA has done more for me than any other medicine, and you can use my name, for if you can help me, you can help other suffering women, I will do so."

Liza you will remember, was pretty good, but she was a sure cure for the blues, the big company of sixty people just kept the audience at the Gayetri laughing continuously an dthe dancing is the fastest ever seen, the costumes of Dinah far surpass those of Liza in size. "The Ghost of the Blues," with the chorus dressed in a beautiful red velvet and gold costume. There are any number of fast satty songs amongst the ones which will be longest remembered are "Bam," sung by Gortie Soundman, and ten others. "Dinah" and about ten others. Gertrude Saunders sung one new number in her specialty and the crowded house kept applauding until she had to render a deep, sad song. Fifteen Four with an entirely new selection of songs were also a big hit. Irvin Miller in the chief comedy part, stood and did the best work of his career. He was assisted by Joe Green and Billy Chorus who was pretty and the fastest dancers the writer has ever seen. The whole production is by far more elaborate than either "Liza" or "Come Come," and the comedy music is by Gertrude in the line of shows. So if you want a good show with a laugh about every minute and dancing that is of your own whitehair and bluehair you will whistling, why just go to the Gertrude, for it gurse is some show.

Losing his balance he tumbled in. After some time he tried to climb out again, and progressed at the rate of three feet a day but dropped back two feet every night. How many days did it take to reach the top if the well was thirty feet deep. BLANCHE SMITH. 607 Pitcher Street The English Christmas is not unlike ours, save that we do not have their pretty custom of "bringing in the yule." In almost every family in England the boys and girls gather about the burning log Christmas eve to sing carolls Christmas legends. Often the children who live in the family assist at the dragging in of the huge log. An English child would not feel that it was Christmas if there were not a bit of mistletoe bunging in the hall, under which the unwary are kissed soundly. Big bag eat the rich and blazing plum pudding and all join in the singing of Christmas carols and church going.

Love is a tender feeling which makes one willing to serve, forgive and make sacrifices for another, mindfully thinking only of the other's good. E. M. --- What is love? To find out, remove it from this world, and man will degenerate into a brute, and the hands of civilization's check will be turned back to the dark ages of many centuries ago. Therefore love is really one of the dividing lines between man and animal—and makes civilization possible. I. H. T.

A shoe made of neoprene or a thick cotton producer I ever tried, for once the thick shoes or counters become thorny filled with frost, the foot is powerless to warm it. I learned it while riding 5 miles to school one winter, and the practice of wearing light shoes made giving frosting proved the only effective defense against frosted feet.

An old preacher did the honors and the candidate for baptism was a woman. The preacher led his victim far out in the stream where she could be thoroughly impressed, and at the auspicious moment he cried in a loud voice: "He stibly sighs, he stidy; and you'll come up with dawn snow."

I was standing, talking to a fat lady one day and two little boys were passing by. He heard the say to the other, "That lady holds like she swallowed a yeast cake."

Once a preacher announced before passing the collection basket that a certain brother in the church was untrue to his church, untrue to his God and above all things, untrue to his wife; and if he don't put a five dollar bill in the basket I shall call his name. When the preacher received the basket there was in it fifty five dollar bills and above five dollar bills, with note saying "Don't give me away, will be the other three in the warring." JOHN W. HALL, Harrisburg, Pa. Couldn't Afford To Live --- His house was a little one-room log building with a homemade door and no windows. He "just could not afford windows." He had a 49-room form and was frequently selling produce, a cow or dried fruit. He said his money had to go to pay his debts, and he just couldn't afford to build a better house or buy food for his stock. His stock sometimes starved. There was never any money to get clothes for his wife and himself. He rode to town one day in a cold rain unsuitably clad. This brought on pneumonia which resulted in his death. As the poor old fellow lay on his death bed, he requested about him not to send for a doctor, for there was no money to pay him. Neighbors wondered why the drab little woman who bore his name did not leave him; she could have hindered an easier living without him. She got half of the chickens and eggs, half the garden produce and fruit she dried, and half she clothed and her half she clothed and her master, furnished the tables and met her family expenses. The husband's half went to "pay his debts." Yet no one ever knew him to make a debt or spend any money. After his death a box was found containing several thousand dollars. But his wife's life had been so cramped that she did not know how to enjoy or use this money when it came to her. An incident in this man's life stands out clear in my memory. He sold a lot to the church to be used as a site for a building. Twenty-five years or more afterwards the church gave a tree standing on this lot to a man to get him to remove it. When the owner of many years learned of the transaction he claimed was good as his. Of LUCY D.

Holiday Candy Packed in a neatly lined postboard box and wrapped with white or bolly paper and tied with a red ribbon, no gift could be more acceptable than homemade candy. They are simple with white wrapping. They are simple and even the inexperienced candy maker need not hesitate to try them: White Divinity Fudge I have such good luck making candy over this recipe and it is so good that every year I make a quantity of it. Use 2 cups white sugar, 1/2 cup warm water, 1/2 cup corn syrup and cook it in hairs. Add a pinch salt to the candy. Add a pinch heat to the milk. Add the cooked syrup with 1 cup of English walnuts, boating the whole constantly until it hardens. Spread the candy onto battered plates and cut into squares. Pulled Taffy Everyone likes old-fashioned taffy, and yet so few of the younger generation know how to make it. Take 2 cups brown sugar, 1/2 cup cold water and a piece of butter the size of a walnut. When it has boiled until a little dropped in cold water can be pulled needly between the fingers it is done. Pour it into buttered tins and let it cool. Pull the taffy until light colored, adding a teaspoonful of vanilla just before beginning to pull it. The white taffies are made the same way, using white sugar instead of brown and omitting the butter. Chocolate Props Take the white of an egg and an amount quantity of water, and mix powdered sugar with it until it forms a stiff "dough" that can be handled. Roll little balls of it in the palms of the hands and set it away to harden. When hard, roll the balls in melted chocolate and let it harden again. They are delicious plain or flavored with any preferred flavoring. Instead of using the chocolate, freshly grated coquant may be mixed with the candy before forming it into balls, or chopped figs, raisins or nuts. In this case less sugar will be needed. Marriage and Salary Milwaukee Journal--Figures on how much salary a young man should have before marrying are not worth much, but the salary must be small if the young husband and wife are to save anything. When Mr. and Mrs. Pitcher married he was earning $100 a month and out of that sum they laid aside $10 every month. In a short time he was earning $100 a month and they were just barely able to live. Finally Mr. Pitcher was worth so much to the firm that they raised him to $200 a month and in a short time the couple was spending all of this money. A month after Mr. Pitcher received his next raise he and his wife found it necessary to use the money they had saved while he was working for $100 a month. With good management any young couple can live on a small salary and save it is almost impossible to get along on a large salary without borrowing money. Reinforcing Baby's Hose My baby's hose soon become worn at the knee, so I cut the cuffs from a wormout pair of men's hose.

A Roach Discovery My kitchen was overrun with roaches which I had failed to exterminate. After washing my range in the dish water—I used a wooden cloth for this purpose—I had been in the habit of hanging the cloth on a nail behind of range. One morning, when I went to wash the range, I found the cloth on the floor. To my surprise there were several roaches in the folds of it. At last I had found a trap for them. After this, each morning after washing the stove, I put the cloth on the floor behind it. It wasn't long until there wasn't a roach in the house. I do not know whether it was the moisture or grease, or both that drew them. Try it to be convinced. MRS. F. E. K.

Embarrassing Moment Robert, a well-meaning young man, but outspoken in his opinions, was enjoying the hospitality of a lady friend in a country town. She had just returned from church and was being interrogated as to the s-r-a-y. "how did you like the sermon?" asked the lady but she was not easily understood, replied "well. If I could not preach my better than that man I would stay out of the pulpit. I never heard such poor preaching in all my life. somebody ought to... Just then he was interrupted by the lady with "I always thought my uncle John could preach very well." This was the first intimation that Robert had of the relationship of his host to the preacher. He was greatly impressed by the situation by another salty of frankness. "I can't help whose uncle he is he can't preach." HOME BUSTERS Mothers-in-law are still the best little home busters in America. Officials of the Legal Aid Society, New York, give this judgment. Fathers-in-law, according to the officials, rarely cause mortal disfigurement. The society explained: "There are three reasons for this mother-in-law complex, according to our statistics. "First, no mother thinks any other woman's child is good enough for her own; second, a mother frequently sees in the marriage of her child the thwarting of her boyhood, when the boy of girl has been a wage earner the mother dislikes sharing her accustomed income with another."

Prize Winner The society explained: --- --- NEVER AGAIN I had spent the afternoon shopping and had bought a pink teddy bear suit and a pair of fancy pink garters. On the way home I conceived the idea of surprising my husband. After supper, seeing John comfortably settled in his easy chair with the evening paper, I slipped to my room to make ready. Domning my new underwear, I slipped my bare feet into a pair of high-heeled pumps and carefully adjusted the pink garters around my ankles. Smearing on a gorgous helping of powder, I graced in the full-length minidress confirmed my belief that I made a truly sizzling difference. The effect of my entrance in the living room made doubly impressive by a jazzy record played on the victoria. With my eyes on the ceiling, I burst into the room dancing madly and executing various kinds of high kicks, etc. Finally out of breath, I struck a statisticue pose in front of my husband's chair, and with my eyes still in the clouds, demanded, how do you like me? That single word was sufficient to bring me back to earth. How desperately I wished I might have possessed the gentle art of tainting and thereby won a few moments of blessed unconsciousness, because instead of entertaining my husband, I thought, I had been making a fool out of myself before his boss who had dropped in to a chat a moment. Mastering all the self-control I could, I tried to make a dignified exit by walking calmly from the room. BELLA DONNA. My Very First Beau It was the Fourth of July and every one in our small town was going to celebrate at the park. One of my classmates had asked me to meet him there and I had accepted with pleasure. Knowing my parents would object, I kept it a secret. It was a beautiful day and we were there early, determining to miss nothing, who had been there but a jump rose in my throat and my heart beat with force enough to most choke me. I looked at my bean, but never really knew whether he looked silly or frightened. Anyway there was a mute understanding between us, the shipped off in one direction.

Call VErnon 6017 I was a small girl of nine, attending a centralized school to which we went on a wagon. A small boy and I had been friends since the beginning of the school term, and one morning he asked me to walk up to the school building with him. I consented and we started up the walk. "Are you ever going to get married," he asked. I was shocked by the sudden question, but I had my answer ready. "No," I said, very decidedly. "I'm NOT. I don't want to be anybody's wife." "Well, I'm not going to either, then," he said, just as unconcerned as you please. He asked me. He asked me the same question again a few years ago, but my answer was very much different. M. E. S. Best Man I Know There is no such animal as a perfect man. The best one I know eats too much salt, thinks about the house on Sundays instead of going to church, swears fearfully on occasions, brings every pay check home for the wife to cash and bank, romps with his kiddies, is true to his wife—so far as she knows—and never beats her. He owns his home, commands the respect of his neighbors, belongs to the union, smokes, carries life insurance, loves his mother-in-law, dotes on going fishing and boating, stays home nights, admits his wife is boss, lets her vote for her choice of candidates, does not object to mishaps, does not object to bored hair, is on petting terms with every dog in town, speaks to policemen and preachers, knows the children’s teachers, helps the widows and orphans, and, all in all, is a regular fellow. Many thanks to the mother who took care of me and to the boy and the girl of the night, of others Cleaning Silk or Wool This is my method: First heat a kettle of water until it boils.

Afro Sports Editor With all his tips excavates, Battling Ski can fight in any State in the union which permits boxing, So Can Harry Wills, or Kid Norfolk, or any of the other black fighters who have made good progress in the sport. Pennsylvania's Boxing Commission refused him a license to sack the other day, and so he practically every other State in the Union. There never was a question of barring bouts between colored and white fighters until after, Jack Johnson's tattoo. Jack is responsible for the ban on mixed bouts in many States. Joe Gars got all the bouts with whites he wanted in Maryland, and so did Young Peter Jackson, but he changed all that, not with actions in the ring, but outside the ring. For Jack, wonderful fighter, it must be said that he fought and won like a champion at Reno, when no criticism of his duet in the prize did nothing to make the most prejudiced ring-sider lift a finger, despite all the talk beforehand of what would transpire if he beat Jeffries. It was his speeding in high-powered fencing, which made his fish spending of money which soon got him in wrong with the sporting fraternity. Norfolk Makes Good Kid Norfolk is making good, despite the mixed boxing ban. He cached in in the neighborhood of $300,000 last year. He is the best light-heavy-wight in the country, but the rules that much if he could get the other fighters to face him across the squared arena. Greb Tunney, Gibbons and McFline would be easy meat for the Kid. Offered Trainer's License The Pennsylvania Boxing Commission offered Jack Johnson a trainer's license declaring he is too young to just a nice way of saying "No, this request for a boxer's permit. It means, however, that Jack must lay aside the mits, and go to work. He can run a hotel, or a cabaret or engage in some other business, but he fight. This is his luck for a fighter who can lick two-thirds of the world's heavyweight crop standing, but after all, Johnson has no gue but himself to blame.

A. back in the discuss this lack of display almost costing him the costing him the Chas. chapinship. West is a natural javelin hurrier and a sprinter of merit in either long or middle distances. He ispected to improve the broad range too, but most sprinters are able to increase their distance with practice. But West must improve his disc throwing many times if he expects to retain his javelins, as a number of men are coming from the various colleges with the purpose of taking his measure. In addition to an attempt to repeat his pentathlon honors West is determined to make a place on the American Olympic team, his pentathlonism is practically certain to give him a chance and if he improves in the discus it may not be impossible for him to go to Europe next summer.

FISK Morehouse Holds Odds Over Over Period of Seven- teen Years BY ALBERT DENT The gridiron clashes between the Marechale "Tigers" and the Fisk "Fulldogs" have for many years been the classic of the Southeastern football world. The first game between the Tigers and the Fulldogs was played in 1906. Since that time many a veteran has served his day and passed on. However, they never look back to their Alma Mater without pride and admiration of youthful struggles for supremacy on the gridiron. It might be interesting to the vet- ticians and the players of both the Tizers and the builders to know how the tear and after having met in fifteen clashes. From observations of the bames is recorded below we may easily see that at no time has either team be- by far superior of the other. Out of the fifteen games played, two were 0-0 ties; four 6-4; and both teams were held scoreless while the other enjoyed all the glory their times used. The facts show the standing of the two teams: Macleod having the edge by one game: 1906—Morhouse 18—Fisk 6. 1907—Morhouse 6—Fisk 0. 1908—Morhouse 7—Fisk 10. 1910—Fisk 15—Morhouse 10. 1911—Morhouse 6—Fisk 14. 1912—Morhouse 14—Fisk 10. 1913—Fisk 26—Morhouse 0. 1914—Fisk 6—Morhouse 0. 1915—Morhouse 14—Fisk 0. 1916—Morhouse 0—Fisk 0. 1917—Morhouse 2—Fisk 0. 1920—Morhouse 21—Fisk 14. 1922—Fisk 26—Morhouse 19. 1922—Fisk 26—Morhouse 19. 1922—Fisk 6—Morhouse 0.

PETER JACKSON SHOWED HIM UP Peter Jackson, well dressed, quietly walked into a cafe one day in Prison and, walking up to the bar, asked the none too intelligent hooker barkeeper for a glass of beer. The frown on the mixologist's face plainly spoke of prejudice. He trown over the bar and talking right into his customer's face, the bartender said with little music in his voice: "Beer is $29 A GLASS in this place." Without hesitating, and with gentlemenly demeanor, Jackson reached into his pocket and quietly placed two $29 gold pieces on the bar, remarking to he did so: "I have a gift of himself, sir." The man with the prejudice was cured for life. He soon found out who his customer was and followed his career as one of Jackson's best friends ever afterward. ARE YOU GROPING IN DARKNESS?

Whatever the method may be it is universally known as advertisement. Of all the mediums of advertisement, football has proven to be the most valuable advertising medium the college, university, or school can adopt. The school that is adverse to football is the one with the diminutive student body, not only football but athletics in any form. A school is not complete without some phase of many sports. Inasmuch as an education embraces both mentality and physique, athletics are essential. One is a subsidiary to the other. An institution of learning gains more recognition from the athletes it produces than from any other source. Ninety-one and nine-tenths times out of every hundred, the sudden increase of the student body of any college that has won fame on the gridlock, can always be attributed to football. Sudden football glory brings attention and interest to that school. Football can be likened to the mug- noticie pole, it is the center of attraction and its drawing force is unparalleled. Every student is proud of the fact that he is in a school where he is taught whether or not he is a participant of that premier college sport. Football has attracted more men to a school than any form of advertisement, and will continue as long as the sport is conducted. The majority of those who contemplate a college education select the school with a Football record, unless impelled by those who are not deserving of a college record. A student body around three hundred prior to 1921 another herself with story and is now known all over the country. Before the years of '20, '21 and '23, Centre was not known outside of her immediate vicinity, then she sent a sound of huskies forth, strong enough to defeat Harvard. During these three seasons of huskies, the public and even fan knows of Centre College. Why? Football of course. Take football out of the college and the decrease in attendance will be consummately noticed in the course of a season. This does not indicate that all hosts merely go to college to play football, but it has that irresistible influence. All schools may not be able to pay the price of high salaried coaches, but in the meantime that school spends a certain amount advertising literature and attract students to the school, whereas, if they miss this, securing an appointment to the school's recognition would rise in leaps and bounds; for advertising news and football is the best advertisement a college, university or school can use. MEN V KONG WIL POSIT STRAIGHTEN KONGOLME FIR CORAZED GROUND ALL YOUR BARBER SOUTH'S BIGGEST AND BEST WEEKLY BALTIMORE, DEC. 28, 1923 History Makers in Year's Sports The year 1924 has been a banner year in sports. Jack Dempsey is still heavyweight boxing champion of the world, but only because he uses most of his time dodging efforts to match him with Harry Wills, the "bronzed panther," and acknowledged king of heavyweights. Edgar G. Brown, of Indianapolis, has fought his way up to the throne of tennis leadership over such men as Talley Holmes, Sylvester Smith and Ayers Saitch. It looked as if Talley would hold the crown forever until Brown came along with his goatee and back hand. That settled it. Whether Brown can defeat the West Indian champion who pays a visit to America next season remains to be seen. Earl Johnson, "Our Earl," still holds the national five mile A. A. U. championship altho he lost his cross country and 10 mile crown to Willie Ritola, the Finn. Earl wants to go to the Olympics and past performances certainly entitle him to the honor. Another champion who will undoubtedly go to the Olympics in Paris is De Hart Hubbard, the sensational broad jumper, the only one in America today who can jump over 24 feet every time he tries. Hubbard is just a sophomore in Michigan and may beat Gourdin's world record of 25 feet, 5 inches before he graduates. Ed. Mackey's big bat kept him atop all the Eastern League sluggers and helped Hilldale win the pennant. In the 342 League games he made 66 hits and scored 26 runs himself. The C. I. A. A. voted Captain Doneghy, fullback of Howard, the most indispensable man on college football teams for the year. He was the triple threat, and at running, kicking and passing proved the season's most brilliant player. ST. PAUL SENSATION NEW HOWARD SPIRIT AMONG COLLEGES HELPED THEM WIN Lawrenceville, Va., Dec. 27. How a former Lincoln graduate acting as coach and an excellent business manager put St. Paul Normal and Industrial School on the football map this year is the season's most remarkable story. He only a few hundred men available and many of them or secondary grades, Coach Winston Douglass and Graduate Manager J. L. Whitehead put out a football team which won six games, lost three and tied one. Hampton, Union and Va. Normal were the only teams to beat St. Paul, in each case by the smallest of scores, and Archibald Russell's boys tied the great Lincoln team. 3-3. The team played 11 games with an average attendance of 1,000, scoring 234 points, 4 field goals, 9 points after touchdown and one safety for a total of 257 points, which makes it the greatest 1923 scoring machine. Lincoln was second with 208 points scored. The following men were awarded Charles Lemark Blackwell, Marvin Herley Boykins, Thomas Friell Burrell, Jesse Carlarve Byrd, John Milton Jesse Lindmack, Frank Louis Mason, Edmund Miller, Wallace Thomas Parker, Booker Tailfero Pierce, Orville Greenleaf Walker, Lawyer Alfred Williams. Charles Friell Burrell, 25. of Romns, Gloucester County, Va., was the unanimous choice of the seventeen letter men who cast their ballots for St. Paul's 1912 42-foot football captain at the annual banquet held in the lower auditorium of Maurice Hall on Tuesday evening.

Blackburn Success of Howard football team this year was due to a new spirit among the student-body. Before the Morehouse game, both graduate and college students gathered in a monster mass-meeting in the chapel followed by a gathering around a huge bonfire on the campus prepared by the freshmen. The freshmen replenished the immense blaze with boxes seized from the neighborhood, singing as they threw it on. "Give that mule more hay." After the fire died down, the rabble one hundred per cent strong marched down into the city and yelled and sang until early morning. At every game this year the student body has cheered the team on to victory. Alumni at Norfolk sent a check to assist in carrying the hand to the Hampton game, tellers were received from other graduates. Johnson and Mack, Miller and Lyles, of "Running Wild," who still hold the copyright on their latest song hit, granted Howard alumni and students exclusive privilege to use this as a Howard song. It reads: "OLD HOWARD LOVE" Most folks nowadays say old Howard Ways should give place to the ways that are new. But I hold the things that are old. But I hold the things that are old. I love my old books, the corners and nooks of my old school and friends. Old memories too, one thing that is true, lasting through life until it ends. I love that old Howard love in my heart, and there it shall always remain. my love is like the kry vine, clinging closer all of the time. those all of the time. Close all of the time. Those the years, dog and tears, just the same. I've got that old Howard faith in my heart. No change can tear! It apart. If all the dry land changes, the sea. If it wakes the change in me, I've got that old Howard love in my heart.

They had in an application for a bout with Harley Mullins. They fell in the boxing game are permitted to engage in mixed bouts, but as soon as somebody talks about a bout for Harry Wills with one of the big white heavyweights the commission frowns upon the suggestion. The question was to come up, but the commission was so busy making new bouts that to offset recent criticism that the matter had to go over until the next meeting. * The rules as laid out by the commission are as follows: Here Are the New Rules Seats must be provided for all who are admitted. "No person shall be allowed to be seated at the ringside on the sides where the judges are seated except the timekeeper, who is to be seated six feet away from the judges. "No persons shall be allowed to stand at any of the boxing clubs' boxers' dressing rooms except his manager and seconds. "Any person could better or earn a professional gumbler shall be barred from all clubs in this State." "The new anti-betting rule is aimed to get rid of the gamblers at boxing boxes, while the rule barring everybody from boxers' dressing rooms will prevent newspaper men from getting statements from fighters after the bouts.

It did not turn out that the blazing blazes of Defense Lane's whistle, starting hostilities, for those who have watched the Arrows in their previous games to disunite, that the "Backworms" had the Indian Sign on the junior nameplate of the Pennsylvania avenue restaurant proprietors. This is not to say the Arrows did not put up a fight, on the contrary, they did some to the best work, especially in games where they showed so far this season, breaking almost entirely perfect setups being attempted by the "Scholars" origin. At the end of the first half, the score stood 17-4. The Arrows training, but their adherents were not downhored and expected the team to stage a "comeback" in the second half. I did, with three points, while their opponent hung up 21. This was plain evidence of their stage fright, being the worse marksmanship fiasco they have committed so far this season.

RICHARDS IN SECOND ROUND Mixed Bouts Go On At Madame Prenty's Golden Gate A. A. Philadelphia, 1987, 26—Wilber Cohen, of New York, knocked out billy Richards in the second round of a scheduled ten-round bout. Charley Ray, of Philadelphia, was originally slated to box the flashy New Yorker, but, due to a fea- tured band sustained in training, he was forced to call the match off. This was the feature bout at Ma- rkus. dim Fretty's golden boy. The semi-national team "Kid" Mattu to the showgirl showed good form a few years ago, opposed to Jerry Hayes. The latter, much younger than Mattu, was clearly outclassed for the first two rounds. But the old Saw's "youth will tell" proved effective in the knockout in the final round Hayes was gradually weakening the "Kid." Mattu to stalled for time at every chance. He held time and again. In the seventh round he was barely able to stand up. In the final round he staggered around the ring and finally 2:10 left of mine and rose slowly. A short left hook which did not seem to have very much power sent Mattu to the canvas once more, and this time he was counted out. The third bout of the afternoon was between Hugo Johnson of Cleveland and Louis Porter of Philadelphia. This contest ended in a draw. The first two bouts both resulted in knockouts. In the second fracas "Kid" Garry, showed class in disposing of "Kid" Murray. The latter dropped Garry in the first round and it looked bad for the light-hearted youth. However, he lasted the first round out by holding and straining. The opening contest resulted in a knockout in favor of Joe Cole. He was opposed to Young Joe Cole. This also was a mixed bout. CUBAN HORSE WINS; PAYS $700 FOR $2 Havana, Cuba, Dec. 19.—When Finecastle won the second race at the track here today in the colors of A. S. Eastman, few cheers were heard. He was quoted at 10 to 1 in the books and apparently there had been few takers. After the usual delay the mutuals price against the winner was posted and then one wild scream was heard. Finecastle paid the record price for this track of $700.50, for a $2 ticket, or $350.45 to $1. Only one $2 ticket was sold in the mutuals and the lucky holder of this ticket was Mrs. Frances Thompson, in the field enclosure. Her excitement was such that she ran home without cashing the ticket, but later came back with a handbag in which to carry off the spoils. The record for winning odds in parsimutuel machines was set up at Latonia on June 17, 1912, when Wishing Wing won and paid $1.885.50, or $841.75 to $1. The next highest price ever paid was $831.70 for $2, which went to the backers of Muzetti W at Lexington, KY, on May 7, 1916.

DAY BATTLE BOTH EYES WERE CLOSED This Makes Second Defeat for Singular Senegalese During American Visit Philia., Dec. 25.—Battling Siki's first Christmas dinner in the United States was not enjoyed very much. The great Siki is greatless so far as Philadelphia fans—those who attended the matinee at the Adelaide yesterday, concerned, for the sake of his conqueror of the Cantertier treated to a slightly fine tromancing to the one Jack Taylor, virtually an unknown. The only thing we really know about the Nebraskan is that he says he wants to fight Harry Wilks on the strength of his defeat of Lee Anderson. Anderson will help be membered as the Kid who beat Kirk Norfolk in the ear ago. But back to our meetings. The only thing the Singular Senegalese demonstrated was that he could "take it." He probably could "give it," too, if one were to stand his wild left and right swings. But Taylor was in no honour to be punched around. In own Yukute island he believed in giving them receiving. For several rounds Taylor didn't look so good, nor did he permit Skii to make any sort of a showing. Gimbala, Neb, appeared to be almost scared out of his shoes, "Looks if the big fellow is going to take it on the hip," was muttered among the ringside spectators referring Taylor Threatened Over in Taylor's corner between the third and fourth rounds and the fifth and sixth frames George Lawrence, Jack's chief handler, was threatening: "Go on in there and light—fight, I tell you, or else you don't get even a look at a thin dime." Arthur proved that he liked to glimpse at the stuff that makes the mure go, and Jack started to rip and tear from the sixth right on through to the final tingle of the gang. And it was all the worse for Sikl. Sikl was slambanged hard, good and aplenty. The good book of facts and nights, stirring blood from between his thick lips, and the Battler's face was swollen and battered by Taylor's wallops. Only his ability to stand up under punishment and his gameness, enabled Sikl to be on his feet at the finish of ten rounds, when the Judges—Frankie Conway and Hart-Armstrong—wrote the win. Jack O'Brien, referrer, thought Jack too, but it wasn't necessary to announce the third man's decision. Siki a Dodger While Taylor succeeded in lambasting Siki in each and every one of the last five rounds, the latter at times ducked away from some hefty bumps. He bounced his bumps forward or sideways out of the zone of a number of Taylor's blows. Sometimes Siki ducked so low his head was only a few inches off the floor. Then, too, the battler went down twice, once to force tone down in ending books and joins from his opponent. Because of Taylor's apparent lack of confidence Siki went out in front in the first two rounds. He had Jack banking up or holding on in the third, writing for Taylor to do some leading. This canto ended evenly. Siki got in a few vicious left books in the fourth, and because of Taylor's unwillingness to mix up matters this round belonged to his light-heavy-weight champion. After a 50-50 fifth frame, Taylor finally got under way. Skii had connected with a few good punches in the early rounds. They did not seem to hurt Jack. The threat of holding up his money then began to get action out of Taylor, and from the sixth until the finish, making a total of five rounds, the Omaha man showed to advantage. Ski weighed 1771 pounds and Taylor came in at 180.

Lytte, Shaw's star, next scored a beautiful field goal and made the score 3 to 2 in Hampton's favor. He ducked and twisted his way down the floor again and—whiff!—the score became 4 to 3 in Shaw's favor. Shaw registered another field goal and the score became 6 to 3 in her favor. Things were looking bad for the "Soulsiders." Havana, Cuba, Dec. 21. - Using up five pitchers on the two teams, Lloyd's Havana team tied the Almendares yesterday in eight innings 3-3. In the game posteriorly, Lloyd's triple wins two boys against the same team, score 4-2. Havana— ABR. HI. PO.

Shaw was leading by one point—score 6 to 5 in her favor. With a bewildering series of passes Hampton worked down the court and McNichols caged the goal that put Hampton into the lead. She was never headed after this. At the close of the first half, Hampton was leading by a 6-point margin. The score was 13 to 7. In the second half Shaw was unable to break through Hampton defense for field goals, until very near the end of the game. She became desperate and was staging a "threatening" rally. Substitutions were made but to no avail. Forte scored two field goals for Shaw and ran the score up to 22 to 14. Shaw only other scores were made on touchdowns. Hampton, 24 Shaw, 14 Gunn .. R. G.

The real big political piece of news of the week was the announcement that Henry Ford would back Calvin Coolidge for the Presidential nomination. This announcement clarifies the situation to such a degree that the nomination of Coolidge may now be considered a foregone conclusion. So far he can count on the delegates controlled by the great financial interests of the East and North and the patronage controlled units from the South. He will also have the inside track when it comes to Presidential primaries in the Middle West. The practical political effect of Ford's announcement will be hard to judge at the present time in so far as the election is concerned. Ford has become strong because of policies directly opposed to those stalwarts behind Coolidge. His followers are mainly farmers in the South, and that increasing host of independent progressives and semi-radicals who will not be wholly controlled by party affiliations. But if the Republican party pulls successfully thru the next national Presidential election, and that seems most probable at this time, Ford has certainly done his bit in making Coolidge the lucky man. * * * * * THE RELIGIOUS UPHEAVAL since the days of the between so thoroughly shalt that is spreading of this country to the birth of Christ is we to result in far reaching beliefs and the tide for later to reach the life another movement that certain amusements, and dancing, now un- E.

Another movement that may bear some relation towards certain amusements, including card playing, theatres and dancing, now under serious consideration in the M. E. Church. Religion, like other factors of moving civilization, must now and then burst through its outworn shell and express itself in terms of modern knowledge. If this were not true we would still be offering our children on sacrificial altars as did the great religious leaders of old. There need be no fear, therefore, that this modern tendency to discard outworn beliefs, means a lessening in the fundamental belief in God. Human knowledge could never destroy a belief in some eternal creator. There will be many of us who will balk at giving up at this time our ideas of Christ as taught in the Sunday schools; but it is better by far to have a wholehearted belief in a rational religion than a half-hearted and insincere belief in something that passes our understanding. * * * * * THEY KNOW THE NEGRO standing on the corner in Memphis, Tennessee, white, sister of the Keller, of that State, boy who was carrying play that instrument, "yes," she was taken boy of that age could even more surprising, stock where the McKenzie same street lived Wife Memphis famous, a representing this old with colored life to colored people excel it in the South they say ing on the corner of St. Paul and Memphis, Tennessee, sometime ago, white, sister of the present U.

JONES Petersen Park, Md. --- Dr. Bergg, strangely enough, puts his okay on Jim crew seating arrangements at the musical festival. Mr. Editor: I have heard much criticism with respect to the "sugregating" of the hisbite at the recent great musical given at the Fifth Regiment Armory for the benefit of the colored Y. M. C. A. are we justified in "sugregating" the whites when we ourselves stubbornly resist the very idea of such enforced association? I do not hesitate to say that we are not justified. The proposition is so clear and evident I marvel at any attempt to justify such a procedure, on principle. And, yet, since such an enormous affair was planned as a direct means of enlightening, and re-educating, public sentiment, among the whites, the authorities in the city, the authorities in the town, and commended, for a temporary suspension of a basic and vital principle. Why so? Because if the race is supremely desirous of making a telling demonstration of its capability before a large aggregation of white citizens it can only be done in accordance with the desires of those they desire to im- Such a large crowd of reputable white citizens could not have been secured if we had strictly adhered to principle. Now it will be arrogant to demand that we strictly to principle and abide the consequences. I have no quarrel with those who maintain such position; although, I do not agree with them. I maintain that accommodating ourselves to the real condition of affairs, we performed the best possible eating public sentiment in the direction of "fair-play" and perfect equality of all citizens. The great task before us is not in seeking more "law", but in educating right public opinion so as to secure an honest interpretation and enforcement of the law that now demands the positive" is more than half of an act. Now the motive of the authorities of the matter under consideration was, unquestionably, one of good-will, with the end in view of winning, the authority of which they are members. Not so with that large number of colored people who frequent so-called white theatres. They confess their "inferiority" by accepting prescribed quarters in an institution, by obtaining license from themselves, as well as from others of the one community, when there is neither a moral obligation, or necessity, which compel such attendance. In the case before us, out of their own generosity, the colored people evinced their "superiority" by the most kindest consideration of their white guests, although it entailed upon them a suspension of their basic and fundamental contentions, a mistake, when we set the other race a noble Christian example. Something He Didn't Expect BYTES HUNT LYNCING BILL CONGRESS MERRY XMAS FROM ALL OF US DAY BY DAY By WM. N. JONES The old questions of hospitality and courtesy should enter into the present day life more than they do we think. It used to be against good taste to become a man's guest and then criticise his hospitality one received. It is such a pity that this has gone out of fashion. Comission Report The Baltimore Crime Commission has made its long-beread report on the Magistrate courts and has recommended sweeping changes, the most important of which is the abolition of the present system and the establishment of a central court attached to the Supreme bench. While this report points out many existing evils and abuses in the present system, including the lack of high-grade magistrates, the evil influences of politics, quarters and costly procedure, the most serious indictment of the present system is contained in the following statement by the Commission: Among the most serious criticisms of the Magistrate's courts are that the innocent and ignorant are frequently opposed and that the guilty are not infrequently dismissed. If this is true, and no one can visit the courts frequently without coming to feel that it is, then to this degree the Magistrates' courts are criminals. For the most important thing in the administration of criminal justice is to be aware that PRISONER AT THE PAY FOOT feel that justice, nothing more, or loss, has been made to him. To let guilty men go free, encourages crime; to punish innocent men, unjustly, engenders a bitter attitude, a loss of faith in human justice, a disrespect for law and order that conveys innocent men and women into inhumelated criminals. Since these courts deal largely with crime in the making, it is even more important that they adhere to absolute justice, without regard to rich or poor, whiter black, friend or foe, than even the higher courts. It is also important that there be about a condition where the judges will be men of such integrity, high ideals, and honesty, as to make each citizen in the community foot that he is to receive unabridged justice. Moulkun's Polity Marylyn Hiller, the well-known Zigfeld musical star, has quit because she gets only a patry $3,000 per week. That will be interesting news to millions of human beings. For singing and dancing for the delegation of tired business men three or four hours each day, Marylyn is not content to draw down $3,000 per week. Perhaps she does not know that for that same $3,000 the President of these United States must put in two full weeks of time and that down south on the farms that produce these crops, man beings must sell in blazing but sum 12 hours each day for five years to know that much. What Marylyn does not know, and what many people in this country do not know, is that these dollars do not come into being at the touch of any Allaedin's Lamp, but are wring out of the earth by human toll. There is little wonder that history has been dofted here and there with revolutions and blood shed that represent breaking points in human endurance. An advertisement carried in a number of leading journals sets out the fact that a certain preparation will GIVE ONE THE APPEARANCE OF BEAUTY. This idea is typical of the present trend of beauty culture. There can be no doubt that buttie shoes can an important role in the natural selection that so greatly influences the progress of a people and that to seek to give the best appearance is proper and right. But the tendency to accentuate artificial beauty at the expense of the more fundamental physical development is one which may establish wrong and superficial standards for this type of appearance. Young men and women should have in mind not only their own appearance but the fundamental physical qualities they hand down to posterity. A serious consideration of this would make them more careful in many ways. Artificial beauty can be a useful tool for the qualities of friendship or love. The day of reckoning must always come.

KELLY MILLER SAYS There must be a clearing house through which can be pooled all the interests which our organizations hold in common. The Negro Sanhedrin is not so much an organization as an influence. It is rather a union of organizations which can speak with the consent and authority of them all. Big Thing for the New Year To the Negro race in the United States—Greetings: At the beginning of the new year of 1923, I presented the proposal for the Negro Sanhedrin, or all race conference, to take under serious consideration the state of the race. The suggestion was enthusiastically approved by the Negro press and public opinion. The proposal was discussed in all of its forms and phases during the past twelve months. The progress of events during the intervening year has made the necessity of the suggestion all the more apparent. The rapid spread of the Ku Klux, the Negro migration Northward, and the defeat of the Dyer Bill, and the agitation out of the Garvey movement were the chief happenings. The race was just closed. Other features of racial life and interests have moved on more or less uneventfully. When we do not progress, we retrograde. None of the events above described brought us any nearer the desired goal. It would indeed be unfortunate if we should allow an other year of experience without any more comprehensive program that shall be adequate to the tuggle tasks that confront us, we cannot go on in this hesitant, uncertain indifferent way. The Race Sanhedrin The Negro Sanhedrin is the big proposition for the new year. Indeed the establishment of this body will mark 1924 as an epocalyptic year in the history of the race. The plans of the Sanhedrin are more fundamental and far-reaching than any project set forth since the reconstruction enactments. Let us not indulge in vain promises and wild prophecies which are apt to characterize new movements. But rather let us invite a careful consideration of the aims, object and method of the Sanhedrin proposal, and let each one reach his own deliberate conclusion. The mind of the people was in the messy mind mood. All were looking for the coming of some plan of race reclamation that should be more efficacious than those already in operation. No one can claim authorship of the idea because perseverance zeal and active interest have crowned the rest. I claim no genius for discovery or pride of priority. All were thinking the same thing, but I was not. I sensed the folk sense of the people and given it utterance and east of statement. I am but a voice crying about into the people, if help they might hear and heed. February 11th in Chicago Six civil rights organizations have joined in the issuance of the call for the Negro Sanhedrin, or All Hare Conference, to meet in the city of Chicago during the week of February the eleventh, which, interestingly enough, is the birth week of Abraham Lincoln. The leaders of Longhous. The arrangements have been placed in the hands of a committee whose plans and details are shortly to be announced. The Negro Sanhedrin will not be a mass meeting, but a conference of organizations, supplemented by representatives of different parts of the country and from the different walks and ranks of life. All types of organizations and agencies functioning nationally will be included. Religious denominations, civil right societies, secret societies, business and social reform agencies will sit down in a common council. Thus it is hoped to secure a representative body that can and will speak with the voice of authority for the whole race. No segmentary organization can do this. Neither can any body that is composed solely of individual responsibilities. The thoughts, the hopes, *the prayers of the entire race are desired to ususus* Sasquatch, *Chicago*, that it may measure up to the requirements of the occasion as such ominous time as this. Presidential Election A presidential election takes place during the fall of the incoming year. Much stress will be placed upon the outcome, and great effort will be expended to corral the Negro vote. The spell-binders will strive to convince us that the triumph of this party or that spells the salvation or the death of the party. But little reliance can be placed upon the pronouncement of the politicians in quest of votes. We have heard such assurances and prophecies before. We must not be swerved from the pursuit of permanent and efficient racial plans by the exigencies of a heated political campaign. Individuals will choose their national preference, local circumstances, from present party principles or traditional party policies. But so far as concerns the fundamental problems involved in the Negro's adjustment to the great white world by which he is enveloped, it makes comparatively little difference which party is trumpphant or what candidate heads either ticket. We shall have to contend as best we may with disregistration jim-crow cars, segregation, lawlessness and proscription, regardless of who sits in the White House dur- --- . . . . . . President Coolidge President Coolidge was good enough to and brave enough to make some friendly reference to the Negro in his message to Congress. At the same time he was frank enough to advise that the race need not look to the federal government for any further fundamental belief Neither, in my judgment, may he expect as much as the president would have hoped to believe. If the Negro must no longer look either to the federal government or to local dependence for the chief agency of race betrayment—he must look to himself. After helping to win the victory by this party or that, the Negro, naturally enough looks for his share of the fruits of victory according to the rule of the game. He is entitled to the crumbs of patronage and official favor that fall from the toil and successors which he has helped to bear. But forty years of god experience abundantly convince us that the most favourable administration that we can possibly hope for will touch but lightly on the interests of the race as it were with the little finger of the left hand. Let us not be scintillated too far from the intimate dealing with our own problems by the exciting issues of the approaching campaign. The pre-election prophecies and post-election disappointments we can foresee and discount in the light of forty years of unavoided experience let us more of those things move us more confident and enthusiasm for the aims and ideals of the Negro Spadinbriar. Marcus Garvey The Universal Negro Improvement Association, under the leadership of Marcus Garvey, and the Pan-African Congress, the outgrowth of the genius of Dr. DuBois, are calculated to focus and function ultimately in the continent of Africa. The Negro Sanhedrin on the other hand is limited to the situation of the race in the continent of Africa. The American Negro cannot be in different or incursions to the face of the race as a world entity. But whatever this fate is to be, and whatever the destined relation of the Afro-American to that fate—he must first show his competency to deal with his own domestic problems before he can assume his responsibility to help the millions of his blood now dispersed over the face of the globe. I am frequently asked to explain just how the Negro Sanhedrin will differ from existing agencies and organizations now in operation. It is pliably true that the race is already overburdened with organizations. They rise and flourish aside the leaves on the tree; yet we are not saved. Half of our energies are wasted by rivalry, jealousy, duplication of ammunition and work. The crying need is for some harm. The crying medium that can reduce these fractional agencies to a common denominator. There must be a clear house through which can be pooled all of the interests which they hold in common. The Negro Sanhedrin is not so much an organization as an influence. It is rather a union of organizations which can speak for consent and authority of them all. Let me illustrate the need of the Negro Seminole as well as its distinctive function, by the situation now reaching an acute stage in the District of Columbia. The Supreme Court nullified the segregation ordinances devised by sandy mobile communities and wished to devise some method of circumventing this decision. The white property owners of the national capital have taken the lead. The covenants of segregation are now being tested in the local courts. Every Negro in the nation is victim of concern because the covenants are declared legal proof in the capital of the nation they will be triumphantly imitated by every city of the land. The Unifving Agency We have in the city of Washington, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Equal Rights League, the Race Congress, The National Sociological Society, The Masons, Old Fellows, Elks and Knights of Pythias, branches of all of the great religions denominations, and about every conceivable kind and description of organization that the imagination can depict—and yet, the Negroes in this city have not raised two hundred dollars to defend their constitutional rights. The organization alone has made any effort to push the case. A single race loyal lawyer, James A. Cobb, Esq., has had to assume the burden, and tread the wine press alone. The Negroes of Washington can and would defend their rights at a cost of one hundred, or ten thousand, or a hundred thousand dollars, if a united appeal could be made through some central administration. Such is the function of the Negro Sanhedrin. Let every loyal Negro rally to its standard. A pamphlet setting forth the movement in full detail the history and progress of the Negro Sanhedrin will be issued in a few days. D. C. Reedley Advocates a Baby D. C.
