KISSING PRINCIPAL QUITS Coolidge Commission Off To Virgin Islands "BOB" CHURCH NAMED HEAD OF COMMISSION WILL SAIL SATURDAY Present Program Calls for Six Weeks' Stay in West Indies BY WASHINGTON CIRCERSPONDENT Washington, D. C., Jan. 7.—Secretary of Labor James J. Davis, has announced the appointment of a commission of six relieved men to make a study of the deplorable and native economic conditions in the Virgin Islands. Rob Church Chairman The commission will consist of Robert R. Church, a financier of Memphis, Tenn., as chairman; Cornellus R. Richardson, an attorney of Richmond, Ind., as vice chairman; George H. Woodson, an attorney of Des Moines, Iowa, as secretary; Jefferson H. Longue of Baltimore, of Indiana, W. Va., and W. H. C. Brown, an investment banker of Norfolk and Newport News, Va. Unless there is a change in the plans, the commission will sail on Saturday and will remain in the Virgin Islands for approximately six weeks, making an extensive study of labor and living conditions, unemployment, immigration, farming, the development of establishing industries there to effect the losses entailed as a result of the application of the Volunteer act to these islands. Islands Cost 25 Millions The Virgin Islands, St. Thomas, St. John and St. Croix, were purchased from Denmark for $25,000,000 on January 17, 1917, and transferred to the United States on March 31, 1917. St. Thomas is about 1,400 miles from New York and 60 miles east from Porto Rico. It contains 18,000 acres, and has a population of about 12,000. The chief value of this island to the United States is strategic, as the islands are the outposts of the Panama Canal. The harbor of St. Thomas was the most oceanic ships formerly wealthiest in the world, so coaling station and to make repairs and take on supplies. But with the application of the Volsted act, ships having liquor on board as a part of their cargo were liable to seizure if they put into this harbor. Consequently, such ships no longer use the harbor afforded by St. Thomas and the unemployment and starvation have followed. Likewise the application of the Volsted law has killed the principal industry of this island, the manufacture of hay rum. St. Croix is the largest of the Virgin Islands. It contains 53,913 acres, and was discovered by Christopher Columbus on his second voyage from New York. The sugar industry is the stable industry, and the Island has been famous for its manufacture of sunsane rum, but this industry is prohibited now by the Eighteenth amendment. but John, the smallest, has an area of about 12,750 acres and its pres- tion population is about 1,000. The "pay tree" tree flourishes in the island and many formerly found em-ployment in picking the leaves for the distillers. But this industry has been destroyed. Report Basis for Legislation After the commission has completed its survey of the conditions in the Virgin Islands, it will make its report to Secretary Davis, who in turn will make it the basis for recommendations to Congress for remedial legislation. He ascertained whether he not Mr. Church will accept the appointment as chairman of this commission. A year ago he was tendered an appointment by Secretary of State Hughes as a special representative of the State Department to go to Haiti with W. T. B. Williams, of Tuskegee Institute to make a commercial and industrial agreement there. He declined the appointment. There is no doubt as to the acceptance of the other members of the commission. The members of this commission will receive no compensation for their services. They will get only actual expenses incurred. Cotton King Got $19,000; Two Others Are Fleeced Two developments in the case of James L. Williams, alleged "Cotton King," came to light Tuesday when under order of the court safety deposit boxes at the Merchants and Mechanics Bank were opened and found to contain other worthless bonds. George R. Parran, a local real estate man, had advanced Williams $4,600 on two Broker and Bankers bonds, marked $24,000, but which are valueless. Sandy Moody also made him a loan of $2,000, taking for security a similar bond. In both of these two cases the bonds were deposited in safety deposit boxes in a manner similar to the one deposited with John Gross, from whom Williams got $12,500, making a total of $19,100, which the slick Georgian has fleeced from local business men. It has also developed that the assets of Williams will amount to practically nothing. All of the yellow colored houses and other parcels of property in which he is supposed to have held equity, have proved to be leased property. Williams, en route to the "Cut," where he is to spend a 10-year sentence, still declares he has sufficient funds to pay back those he has fleeced. LATEST NEWS SIKI BARRED IN CINCINNATI Cincinnati.

Mixed Bouts Legal In Pennsylvania Attorney-General Woodruff Advises Boxing Commission to Rescind Absolutely its Rule Against Bouts Between White and Colored Boxers Harrisburg, Jan. X.—The State Athletic Commission, in an opinion by Attorney General George W. Woodruff today was advised to recind "absolutely" its rule against mixed bouts," and, if desired, "to substitute for it a general rule "to prevent disorder, riots, brutality and be like." bouts," but by a rule which will insure as far as possible that all bouts" shall be free from brutality, and that the clubs or associations or persons conducting such bouts must insure that bouts shall be free of riot or unseasonal disorder of any kind. "Finally, it is my affirmed opinion "If the trouble aimed at is the danger of brutality or riot the cure of that danger should be sought, not by a general prohibition of mixed mises to this effect, it is said, have been made to Oscar DrPriest and other Republican bosses, whose end by a general prohibition of mixed The opinion was in the form of a letter William H. Rocap, white, Philadelphia, chairman of the Commission. It was furnished as a result of differences which arose among members of the commission over a ruling last month refusing approval for boxing bouts between white and Negro pugilists. The differences were disclosed in a statement by Charles Fred White, of Philadelphia, colored member of the Commission, who protested that Chairman Rocap had made the ruling without his knowledge of any meeting at which it could have been agreed upon. The chairman contended that the decision had been reached by a majority of the Commission, Hurvey J. Boyle, of Pittsburgh, the third member, having been given his vote against mixed bouts, by telephone. The letter quoted Article 14 of the Federal Constitution, declaring it contrary to this Constitutional provision on the Commission to enforce a general prohibition of mixed bouts, nemely bouts or sparring exhibitions in which the opposing contestants are one white and the other colored." The opinion added that if a general regulation forbidding the carrying on of 'mixed' boxing or sparring bouts is adopted, it, to begin with, deprives some persons of their property (their right to carry on legally the business of taking part in boxing or sparring, exhibitions) without the due process law, also imposes many instances implying obligation of boxes entered into for such mixed boxing or sparring bouts."

"Finally, it is my affirmed opinion that you should rescind absolutely, if you have not done so already, your rule against 'mixed honors' and, if you desire, substitute for it a general rule to prevent disorder, riot, brutality and the like." "WHIP" EDITOR WANTS PHIL BROWN'S JOB Washington, D. C., Jan. 7.—Joseph D. Bibb, editor of The Chicago Whip, is an applicant for the job made vacant by the death of Phil H. Brown, who was commissioner of Conciliation in the Department of Labor. The candidacy of Mr. Bibb is being sponsored by Senator Medill McCormick. Mr. Bibb as editor of The Whip has attracted attention by his bitter criticisms of colored Republicans. He has kept up a tirade against them and characterized them as "Uncle Toms." The subjects of his caustic comments have run the gamut from an alderman of the city of Chicago to a member of the Republican National Committee. In political fights he lined up his opponents and against the regular organization. But all such tactics are relegated now. For and in consideration of this job, he is alleged, he will lay down his trenchant pen and become just as regular in his Republicanism as any of the colored followers of the "old Guard." Promises to this effect, it said, have GRANT LASTS 2 ROUNDS WITH NORFOLK West Indian Boxer Out weighed, But Not Outgamed; Knocked Down Twice in First Round NORFOLK HURTS HAND Champion Finds Grant's Elbow Hard on the Knuckles of His Right Hand Kid Norfolk, of Baltimore and New York, best light-heavyweight fighter in the world if the white boys did not bar him, knocked out Sidney Grant of New York in the second round of what was to be a 12-round bout, Wednesday night. Incidentally, Norfolk banged up a perfectly good right hand, which may mean that his victory so lightly won, will in the end cost him dear. He left right after the fight for New York again with Bill Hewlett, trainer, and Lee Flynn, manager, where he will attempt to get his injured member in condition for the bout with Roughhouse Wilson, scheduled for Windsor, Ontario, Canada, next Wednesday night. Grant Man of Mystery Grant, whose announced weight was 161, is to many fans a man of mystery. Touted in advertisements as a West Indian fighter from the Barbados, making his first American appearance. In contradiction of this, the same ads announced that he had defeated Goo Godfrey. Found in bed at Smith's Hotel Wednesday before the fight, Grant told an AFRO reporter that his real name was John Walker, and that he is better known as the Panama Dixie Kid. His home, he said, was in Panama, his father, being French and his mother a native. He declared he had forced him into 1914, a draw, Steamboat Bill Scott, and this year, fought a draw with Joe Walker, and knocked out Sandy Bokus. Evidently the talk about a "first American appearance" is a sort of a joke. Grant or Walker, whichever is his real name, was reticent about giving out information and denied the whole interview.

WILMINGTON HE SCHOOL HEAD QUITS UNDER FIRE H. Ray Wooten Leaves Rather than Face Charge of Kissing Girl Student WAS SECOND OFFENSE School Board Reinstated Him Last Year After Charges Were Preferred Wilmington, Del., Jan. 10. The resignation of H. Ray Wooten, principal of the Howard High School, growing out, of charges of alleged misconduct unbecoming a member of the teaching profession, is the climax to a controversy which started when Wooten was appointed about two and one-half years ago. When Wooten tendered his resignation to Superintendent of the Public School Hill Park, JA. Ward Saturday, it was immediately accepted. This is the second occasion within a year that Principal Wooten has been under fire. In it's resignation Principal Wooten stated the he desired it to take effect immediately, as he had a better opportunity elsewhere. It has been learned, however, that the real reason back of Wooten's resignation, is that charges had been preferred against him, involving a public Park. According to a member of the Board of Education, the charge against Wooten was that or kissing the girl. Accused of Kissing Girl ACCESSORIES OF KISSING VIRT The incident is said to have occurred on Friday night, the girl it is said, old girl companions, and the matter was reported to members of the board, including Dr. Victor D. Washburn, Shermer H. Stradley and Dr. H. Clay Stevens and to Superintendent Ward. The girl was taken first to her aunt, who is employed on Josiah Marvel's estate where it is alleged she stuck to her story. She was then taken to Ming-Ku Street and Stradley's face Friday night where she signed a sworn statement. A member of the board stated last night that probably the worst that could be said about Mr. Wooten's offense was that "he had been indiscreet." Wooten, it is said, denied the girl's charges and hinted that "some one was trying to frame him," and he was offered an opportunity to plead the case, according to this member of the board. Wooten said he would rather resign than face the ordeal of a trial and gain a lot of unnecessary notoriety. Restignation Was Advised Restignation Was Advised Dr. H. Clay Stevens, colored member of the board, said last night that Wooten visited him on Saturday and told of his living hand in that of his wife, that she Wooten he was sorry that a man of his apparent intelligence and organizing ability should again have given occasion for people to talk about him, and in view of the circumstances his resignation was the best thing he could do, for the best school he Howard High School and the school system of Wilmington in general. The first time charges were preferred against Principal Wooten was about a year ago, but after the matter had been, threshed out in an executive meeting of the board, at which Dr. Conwell Banton de mandated that the verbal attacks on him be substantiated at a hearing before Mr. Wooten, the board's acting Mr. Wooten an opportunity to answer specific charges, the matter was dropped. But when the superintendent presented his list of appointments for last year, Wooten's name was not among those recommended for reappointment. Later, the board decided to re-employ Mr. Wooten on a monthly basis. This was continued until September, when he was reappointed for a year, superintendent. The board did not select anyone as yet to succeed Wooten as principal. The matter will probably come before the Board of Education 1 Its meeting, Monday, January 14. WHITE LAWYERS WOULD BE HER GUARDIANS Ask Court Injunction to Force College Authorities To Let Them Talk With Wealthy Oil Queen Gets Bunch of Letters Every Day from Sharps Who Are Merely After Her Money Call News Service, Kansas City, Jan. 10.—Eager hands, working under protection of Oklahoma law to snatch a girl and a fortune from the campus of Western University, in Quindaro, were brushed aside, temporarily, at least, in a Wyandotte district court Monday, when Judge F. D. Hutchings dissolved an order restraining Dr. F. Jesse Peck and other officers of the university from preventing outsiders from communicating with the girl student. Girl Worth $500,000 The girl in the case is Miss Louzetta Canady, attractive eighteen-year-old student at the university whose home is in Depew, Okla. Miss Canady's holdings of 160 acres of oil land there are reputed to be worth nearly $500,000. The court action was the result of efforts on the part of her half brother, Giles Canady, to communicate with her, and according to lawyers for Miss Canady, she will sign away her rights to the valuable property for the benefit of white men in Oklahoma. A veritable network of intrigue, including the sending of a prospective husband to register at the campus as a student and marry the heiress, has been woven about Miss Canady's career. On December 27, 1921 she became of age. On that date Fen Canady, her father, brought her personally to Western university and requested especially that she not be allowed off the campus on any protest whatsoever unless she was accompanied by the matron. Mr. Canady said Monday that he felt at that time that white lawyers in Oklahoma would try some means of getting control of his property, and he thought he bought her to school for schooling. Comes to Marry Her About the middle of November a prospective student, from Oklahoma, sent a draft for $150,00 to the registrar of the university for tuition. He came to Kansas City, but instead of going directly, to the campus, according to information in the hands of Dr. Peck, he went out on a "good time," became talkative and told friends that he had come. He then to marry Miss Candy and thus share in administering her money. The story reached the ears of Dr. Peck and the man's tuition was returned, not to him, but to other men, who it is alleged, paid it for him. Spled on Campus For three days just prior to Thanksgiving an automobile bearing a Tulsa license and containing two white men and a Negro camped in front of the women's dormitory and roved about the campground on Miss Curry, girl's matron, said Monday. Headquarters for the alleged conspirators are said to have been at a well-known Eighteenth street hotel. A number of Negroes, including the girl's half brother, are alleged to have been "bought" by certain white men. So want to get control of the men? Exposed in Court The effort of the half brother, Giles, to get Miss Candy away from the campus to a lawyer's office brought on the court action that exposed the plot. The boy wanted the court to order Dr. Peck to allow him to see his sister at will. This court refused to do after W. L. Wood, attorney for the university and the girl, told the court that the whole business was a scheme a part of the office of Oklahoma City, to be appointed Miss Candy's lawyer in Oklahoma. "He tried to buy me, and represent him as administrator of her estate, but I told him I was not for sale," Mr. Wood said in court. A mysterious telephone call from a white woman to Dr. Peck last Wednesday night warned him that the boy would appear Thursday morning to take his sister to a lawyer's office to sign some papers. Candy appeared in court, fed by Croker, attorneys for the plaintiff, admitted that they were engaged by Mr. Swanson and Giles Candy, but denied they knew anything of the so-called plot. The judge denied the prayer of the boy for an injunction. Wants to Study Miss Candady is a shy, attractive young woman, who in three months has been worried almost to distraction with her responsibility of wealth. She does not want to be bothered with the affair of her holdings. She wants first of all to get an education, the matrine, junior, her mall packages, and dozens of letters she never sees. Campus authorities will see to it that curiosity seekers do not stay long near the school. For the time, at least, she is to have peace from the pestering or greedy white men and "bought" Negroes. NAMED DEPUTY CORONER said: Mrs Simmons, manager of which is a successor to "Liza," both of which are from the pen of the profile Trin Miller, has been reviewed a couple of times in press journal and needs to be repeat, how ever that it is one of the best, how ever that it is one of the best, entertainment that is clean and for must be encourage $5,000 bond as a not the very best musical comedy guarantee to protect the fighters in that has shown here this season, obtaining their end of the process. There must also be put up the more you see it the more you are impressed with the various elements that have been brought to bear by Miller to one case he was tasked with risks with the best class of entertainment that has been seen here in recent weeks. Others in the company are: Manager Berger, Star Theatre— The same principals who were I think it could be worked up to even during the fortnight sojourn a paying proposition to carry boxes at the Gayette are on hand and it 'ing bongs, just as it is in other may be the writer's imagination, but theatre, I might become interest, it seems that they are putting over ed in this matter.'

MORE BOXING BOUTS WANTED IN CITY Theatre Managers Asked Their Views About Staging Weekly Boxing Matches For Fans PROPOSITION WOULD PAY Under Present Conditions Only Big Fighters Get a Chance to Show Their Wares Agitation for more boxing bouts the city is becoming so great that it may reach the ears of some the theatre managers of the city. Under the present conditions, boxing bouts between colored fighters are few and far between. Only now and again are colored fighters in the cards at the Gayety, where manager Les Sponsler has had Kid Norfolk twice this year, and at the Fourth Regiment Armory, where Benny Franklin has had colored fighters appear on the preliminaries. Both of these managers, while interested in price lights, from the very nature of things cannot employ any but the top lines, such as Norfolk, Siki, Jack Taylor, Tut Jackson, and others. There are a number of other amateurs around the city, who ought to get a chance to show their wares. These fighters have no opportunity unless someone in the theater will stage weekly boxing matches for them, and it is declared that any manager who will put on amateur bouts once in a while will soon have a large group of fans as regular customers. Asked what a stagging weekly boxing at their theatre some of the local managers did. Cress Simmons, manager of Douglass, when asked about staging prize fights at Douglass said he has already been making inquiries concerning the proposition, but that there is a lot of red tape that must be encountered such as the putting up of banners to protect the fighters in obtaining their end of the proceeds. There must also be put up $100 bond for each fighter. Mr. Simmons says this can all be set if the public will give support, at the fact that these bonuses would at draw any considerable white arouse and allowed people to top prices and would be necessary to guarantee a purse that would attract the better class of fighters does not seem favorable to the proposition. Assistant manager, Carr, Dunbar fleacher—"I do not think it would be a paying proposition to carry in small lights." Simon Hornstein, manager, Regent Theatre says: "In the first place, the bouts would not draw my white patronage, and there are not enough colored patrons able to pay one and two dollars 'or the best seats which would be necessary to make a suit,' the director says. Without an attractive purse, the better class of boxers could not be secured. In case the above-mentioned obstacles were overcome, I would not think of putting on bouts because they would change the character of the house, drawing all the rough element there." NEW ALBERT 10 Cotton Pickers Nearly 900 persons attended the Philadelphia Cotton Pickers' Ball at New Albert Auditorium, Mon- y evening. A revue and dancing red until a late hour. The Cotton Pickers are: Charles bass player; Wilbert de Paris, amour; Sidney de Paris, trumpet; "Oxie" White, trumpet; "Bobby" a drumist and leader; Herbert cutler, jouge: "Jack" Ward, summer; Percy Glasse, saxophone and caribet; Andrew Meade, xophone, and Albert Hughes, saxophone and clarinet. "Bobby" Lee, pianist and leader of the band, met with an accident on its way here and was unable to play. Ambrose Smith took his place. Percy Glasse, Albert Hughes, Herbert Faulner, and "Coxie" White are all Baltimore. He said that he cleared $200 after defraying all expenses. He also said that the band will return to Baltimore in two weeks' time. Charged With Jewel Theft Caught in the act of disposing of $2,000 worth of jewelry belonging to his employer, Edward Lee, butler, was caught after a chase by headquarters detectives Monday. Lee, it is alleged, took the jewelry from a bed-room drawer of Rida Jones, 1162 St. Paul street. A New Year Resolution Perhaps he sometimes slipped a bit—Well, so have you.

Movie Review The big feature which will usher in the week at the Roosevelt will be "The Lord of Thundergate." (A synopsis of this story will be found on page thirteen.) This picture will be continued on Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday, "Modern Matrimony" co-starring Alice Lake and Owen Moore, will be the special offering, and Friday and Saturday, Leatrice Joy in "Minnie," will be the big attraction. that youth and beauty cover a multitude of sins. If this is so, there is a strong atmosphere of goodness hovering over the Itegent Theatre this week for Gertie Wells' Rosetime Revue, which is the stage attraction at that house this week is comprised of some twenty youngsters that spatter youth and beauty all over the place. For its third consecutive week, "street" number that drew nearly "Dibah" threw up its fortifications a dozen encores. Miss Gerlude for a week's laugh lagerage against Wells, who sang several numbers, the theatrical public of Baltimore in a pleasing soprano. Alden Garfond, Monday, choosing the Douglas Theatrical, a 15-year-old boy who did a clever Russian dance, Miss Carol Clark, a fairy large audience occupied Clark, who scooted the lower floor Monday night, caught the entitled "Somobody's" the next to Wrong, and Carroll Boyd, musical director for by "Tuesday," the lower director and male lead who offered a floor was negatively filled. "Dibah," song number in a pleasing voice. Vaudeville and Pictures A trio of vaudeville turns that are far above the average, comprise the stage attraction which Manager Berger of the Star Theatre, has selected as the fare for his East Edinburgh patrons this week. The turns are: Gent and Perkins, sister act; Boots Hope, "King of Liar's," and Davenport and Carr, man and woman. Boots Hope, who is well known to audiences of the Star section scored as heavily as if he was making his debut in the house. Some of his fabrications had the more demonstrative auditors hanging on to their seats. Pushing Hope for top honors was the sister team, both members working under cork. These performers have the art of entertaining and have talent plus personality. They were well received. Davenport and Carr carved a niche for themselves in the flavor of the audience by their humorous chatter, some real classy piano tinkling by Davenport and some rattier excellent "blues" singing by Miss Carr. DOUGLASS "Dinah" For its third consecutive week, "Diamb" throw up its fortifications for a week's laugh burglarage against the theatregoing public of Baltimore Monday, choosing the Douglass Theatre as the camping ground. A fairy large audience occupied the theater for Monday night, and these widely carried the word to devise for by Tuesday, the lower floor was practically filled, "Diamb," which is a successor to "Liza," both of which are from the pen of the prolific trvin Miller, has been reviewed a couple of times in this journal and needs no further praise. It is not amiss to repeat, however, that it is one of the best, if not the very best musical comedy that has shown here this season. It is a show, the more you see if the music is good, the more compelling the elements that have been brought to bear by Miller to touch the laugh-springs of the audience. And this adds to your appreciation of the show. This shows that Miller is more than a writer, but a student of human nature. The comic situations are never forced or padded up to. They occur naturally and not in advance of the attention of the audience to the extent that when the climax is reached the audience bursts into laughter performer. The same principals who were seen during the fortnight sojourn at the Gaycoty are on hand and it may be the writer's imagination that they are doing over the work with more pride in what they are doing and a greater effort to please, than formerly. Playing to home folks as it were. If you are tired of trash and want something in the theatrical fare worthwhile, don't let "Dink" slip out of town on you. CAREY "Flesh and Blood" The initial special feature of the week at the Carey next Monday will be "Flesh and Blood," co-featuring Lon Chaney, Edith Roberts and Irving Cummings. Tuesday, "Strongheart," starring Irene Tich; Wednesday, the usual program of short subjects will be shown: Thursday, a thrilling crook drama entitled, "Slippy Methcee," co-starring Colleen Moore and Wheeler Outman, with abling feature Friday the small attraction will be "Bidders of the Range," and Saturday, the program will comprise the usual program of two-reel drama and comedy subjects. GAYETY A Study in Black and White For the first time in this city, a combination black and white balletwear show opened at the Gayle Theatre. Monday matinee as the stage attraction at that house this week. The Smarter Set Stars comprise the company. The bill is opened by the white company, who present a sketch entitled, "Stepping Out." Mickey Markwood and Dave Shattier are the chief funmakers and their anties drew round after round of applause. Shattier, who essayed a Jewish character, was extremely funny. It remained, however, for the Smarter Set players to show the audience how to create fun that pies up hugh links in your solar plexus. The company has selected the sketches which builds with the bad guys, in crossing the line between their respective dwellings. S. Tutt Whitney and George McClellon in these roles had the audience rocking in their seats. Other scenes in which Whitney and McLennon, both of whom work under cork, score, are the valley leading to the robber's cave and the interior with Julian Dobstle, as the robber chief, threaten them, did they get off some antics that "brought down the house." During the progress of the skit a number of specialties are introduced and when Maud De Forrest sang "Love Joe, Don't Mean Nobody No Good," the audience "tipped" and to make patters worse. McClemon came out agitating his character in accompaniment and the show stopped. McClemon "voted" the evidence with some eccentric dance notices. The Tutt, Tutt, as usual, blinded the Crow now squawts once or twice with his dizzying sartorial display, and a chorus of a half dozen figures worked hard to please in the business that was allotted them. One of their numbers, the radium-dance led by Tutt, almost rivalled "Love Joe" as a scotch to proceed- It is an accepted colloquialism that youth and beauty cover a multitude of sins. If this is so, there is a strong atmosphere of goodness hovering over the feegent Theatre this week for Gertie Wells' Rosetime Revue, which is the stage attraction at that house this week is comprised of some twenty youngsters that spatter youth and beauty all over the place. The organization which has been recently gotten together, and is being sponsored by J. Hartwell Cook, the well known dancer, is composed entirely of Washington talent, the bevy of chorus flppers being said to contain no member who has passed her twenty-first birthday, and in addition each one is a product of the Washington high schools. Depuis this the bunch can sing and dance and is full of pop and enthusiasm, that is captivating. There is no "show" in the true sense of the word. The performance is in the nature of a miniature extravaganza with an occasionally being presented to give the entertainment variety. Of these the best was the team of Davis and Rattley, male duo, who is a patter skirt demonstrated talent as comics that far surpass any similar offering seen here. They had a line of original chatter that was humorous in the extreme and they mixed brains with wit. Over. An explanation of patter baseball came out of the two while the other got explanations, mixed was just about the funniest bit of chatter imaginable. Then they come back with a dialogue in Jewish lingo that has real comedy in it. Others who contributed specialities were J. Hartwell Cook, who old some clever steps and led the "sturt" number that drew nearly a dozen encores. Miss Gertrude Wells, who sang several numbers, in a pleasing soprano, Alden Garrison, a 15-year-old boy who did a clever Russian dance. Miss Carol Bidow, who scouted beauty with a "dumb" girl, outlived "Somebody's Wrong," and Carroll Bayd, musical director and male lead who offered a song number in a pleasing voice. There may be those who find fault with the "show," but it must be considered that they are all young stars, the show is just three weeks old and they are offering entertainment that is clean and for no reason, and for no reason the eternal black-face slapstick rot. And as we said in the beginning, youth and beauty covers a multitude of sins, which being the case, gives the performers value that ranks with the best class of entertainment that has been seen here in recent weeks. Others in the company are: JOHN B. HARRIS Morris Johnson with his new Gold MARTIN Saxophone Morris Johnson is known as one of the leading musicians not only in Baltimore, but in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, as well. He is an expert on both the violin and the saxophone. Mr. Johnson has played saxophones of nearly every make. Now he plays nothing but the MARTIN.

DELEGATION A fight to control the next Maryland delegation to the Republican National Convention is in prospect. Senator Weber has already thrown down the gametist by coming out for President Coolidge before anyone else could get on that reservation. He is pulling wires to line up the state for the President, Galeen L. Tait, state Republican is also for Coolidge. Montain, anti-Weberites are watching the then Johnson candidate, many hatch their kite to fly, thus precipitating a fight. Ex-Senator Jos. I. France is for Johnson. Contributions to the Armstrong campaign fund reveal the fact that some influential anti-Weberites only gave small amounts or did not give at all. Former Senator William P. Jackson, who has been in the faction, opposed to him, demonstrated the fact he is the leader on the Eastern Shore by carrying the mimeograph there for Armstrong for Governor.

Church, may have been justified by keeping silent when the Ku Klux Klan marched into his Central Arkansas Confer- ence the other day with a $50 contribution for the Church, | but he will have a hard time proving it.

He will probably be able to travel back to his Washington home in.a Pullman without a coat of tar and feathers or any. of the other inconveniences which the masked and lawless night riders know how to inflict upon the innocent, but he has lost cast forever in the minds of true Americans, who speak out: tho the heavens fall. The Negro church in the South needs no moral cow- ards, Its pastors and bishops, must be heroes and martyrs. For the good of the church; Bishop Ross should be trans- ferred to some other section where courage at; the risk of personal safety is not an episcopal requisite. cine Aa asa pectheggeaeat istics Vale, giny| City Ministers File An Church, Hikeiage, Rey.

Lucy Poloke and Suma Bosen, two Greek Indian women, have donated $100,000 to the American Baptist Home Mission Society to be used in its educational program in Oklahoma.

Little was it thought, when Christian men took their shot guns and drove the American Indians to that forsaken corner of the West, that this section would spout such wealth as it has. But even nature seems to have made an effort to right some of the wrong perpetrated against the first real Americans and many of them have become rich beyond their dreams.

He is irresistible for he of life where the truly great men percourse and where the incident of light of achievement. Roland Hayes, that new star scintillating upon the horizon of the musical world, will go down in history as one of the most powerful benefactors of the Negro race in the present decade. Already the influence of his genius has transcended the realm of music, and he typifies the type of leader depending upon universal ability to penetrate the boundaries of racial limitations. What Roland Hayes has done in music is what some other genius can accomplish in science, in medicine, in art and the larger fields of human endeavor. The discovery of a cure for cancer, for instance, or any number of other needful discoveries, would have world-wide significance and would do more in a single sweep to solve the race problem than realms of agitation and talk. This is the new type of leader that answers the question from Missouri. He is irresistible for he touches the high points of life where the truly great men and women find free intercourse and where the incident of color fades before the light of achievement.

Hiram Johnson speaks. Hiram is the kicking, snorting and rambunctious bronco buster from the West who comes out against everything and every issue favored by the Coolidge forces. After reiterating his opposition to the world court, the administration Mexican policy, the bonus, the Mellon tax plan, he ends with a criticism of the committee for restoring the numerical strength of Southern delegates to the National Convention. Johnspn knows and admits that he has no chance at all with the colored delegates in the South despite the fact that he has that astute politician, Frank Hitchcock, at the head of his campaign, and naturally he opposes their increase. What makes matters worse for the candidate from California is the fact that as a progressive he is way behind the radical sentiment of the Northwest where they talk of a third party. The East is conceded to Coolidge. In the days of the Bull Moose activities Johnson might have been swallowed by colored voters because of his close association with Theodore Roosevelt, but his well defined racial lopsidedness places him at a disadvantage, despite many good qualities. The Negroes in the South might be denied the ballot to the degree that numerically they are of little value to the party as voters, but party leaders know that every colored voter in the middle West and East where votes are votes, will not forget his Southern brother port November.

In the war of the Revolution, Lieut.Cole. Earlon of the Rhode Island and Militta planned to capture Maj. Gen. Prescott, who was in command of the British army at Newport. Taking with him, in ships and ships and using nautilus cars he and his party successfully eluded the British seniors and arrived undiscovered at the quarters of the general. They found the heavy doors of the lodging chamber of the house where the party thereupon held a whispered conference; suddenly a Negro by the name of Prince, who was one of the party, thrust his head through the solid panel of the door and grabbed general and putting him under the jerked the surprised leader out of bed. Prince had captured a general. 86. Who was Mayor Jeffrey? During Gen. Andrew Jackson's campaign in mobile, the Americans were repudiated. Major Stuart was forced to retire. A Negro private from Tennessee, by the name of defyee, seeing the condition of his comrades and realizing the disaster about to befall them rushed forward, a heckle of the crowd, and called them to the charge and completely routed the enemy, who left the Americans master of the field. Jeffrey at once received from the general the title of major though he could not, according to the American policy, so commissioned. 57. What did Col. Alexander Hamilton say of the colored soldiers in the War of 1861, the African American soldiers who fought for American independence, Col. Hamilton said, "Endowed by nature with a pious element, faithful to trust, abiding in friendship, beholdful in courage, patient to phrases and persons, enthusiastic in personal endeavor, sentimental and chivalric, they made hardy and intrepid soldiers. Their cheerfulness in caring for the suffering of fatigue-duty their patient endurance of heat and cold, hunger and thirst, and their old echelence in battle, made them welcome companions whenever they went.

Thinks Dr. Brang's Letter on Armory Segregation Was More Biting Uncle "Bob" Motton. My dear friend, I would read the letter in "The Forum" last week attributed to Dr. Brang. Such compromising language better befitted the pen of "Uncle Bob" Motton or some other member of the "Old Guard." Armory was clear slurder. As much as I regard the men who fostered this great festival and the great "motive" back of it all, despite the fact that it proved to be the event of the season, it is simply too much to put their approval upon such. Coming as it did so swiftly upon the anti-lynching bill mass meeting wherein Congressman Dyer spoke in person, while Attorney Jamesogle was fighting the Nazi occupation, the National capital, with the insult of last year when residents on upper McCullough street attempted to stop Nigrobs from living there, with the N, A, A, C, P, lighting this very thing all night. I would ask us to accept this pill without frowning at its bitter taste. The principle of segregation and humiliation of classes is either wrong or right. If right, let us say so and move on. If wrong, let us practice it, wrong, then let us fight it to the last man. "There is no compromise with things of the devil" has been often preached to me. I now reproach the temporary suspension of a basic and vital principle is a dangerous doctrine and we shall see it will prove too convenient and handy to be used against us. The one thing greater than a sinister principle is justify that self. I say again, the gentlemen who arranged the musical did themselves an injustice and committed a grave error when they thoughtlessly put their O. K. on segregation in their schools. We believe they now realize this: however, those of us who now attempt to justify their actions (something they themselves have not dared to), these are committing the bigger sin. We only need to be done now to avoid this mistake in the future and at our first opportunity, correct such dangerous precedent. If They Won't Let Well Enough Alone IF They Won't Let Woe Enough There SUPREME COURT DECISION COME ON! FALL OF US ORGANIZED EFFORT SEGREGATION SEGREGATION U.S. CITIZENSHIP DAY BY DAY By WM. N. JONES. The annual report of Gen. John H. Russell, American High Commission of Haiti, shows an income from customs and internal revenues of $4,869,889, an increase of more than 10 percent, and that he has been able to squeeze out this small republic in the name of law and order. Immediately following this report the politicians got, busy and following a conference between President Coulongue and Senator Melissa McCarthy, a Committee on Inquiry in Haiti, another "commission of economic experts" is to be sent over to help absorb in salaries, this surplus income. We suggest the business of "helping" Haiti adjust her internal economic problems is proving highly profitable. We suggest in extension of this spoody that this government takes a hand in settling the affairs of Mexico where revolution after revolution has made it a land of blood and blood. But that would be another story. The following incident in the life story of one of our most successful colored business men and the presiding Memphis, Tenn., with resources of over a million dollars, ought to be interesting to men of 40 years. The business man, Thomas H. Hayes, then in the grocery business, went to the wall, and after falling found it necessary to work for a white as a delivery man for the obligation. Most men who find themselves failures at forty thinks new effort worth while. But on one of these brothels he lighted a lamp in his room when a candle fly came in the window and began to circle about the lamp. Taking a pane of glass, he lighted a lamp in the floor. A few minutes later that same candle fly was soaring about that lamp, and once again he struck the lamp and found it later soaring about that lamp, it gave him a thought. Shortly after that Hayes found himself success the undertaker, the President of the Solvent Savings Bank resigned Mr. Hayes was elected to fill the place. All of his success came after he was forty, and he was a good man for good at forty, if they have not already found their place in life. During the recent years there has arisen in the South an effort on the part of outstanding men and women to work agreement touching racial contact. While these interracial programs have not been all that might be desired from some sources, the real challenge is that gone a long way in stimulating a cain, impassionate and sensible consideration and study of some of the many perplexing problems confronting the South. For notwithstanding the frenzied fury of race prejudice and the spirit of counter hatred it has set going the hearts of many colonies in the South, many men realize that the race question in America can never be fully settled until it is settled in the South. It is important to realize that strong men must be developed, both white and black. The outstanding difficulty with waging conferences has to deal public sentiment. The long existence of bad racial relations in the South, where women have the abode of great importance that these, conferences have developed some of the most outspoken advocates of justice and have set in operation some forces that are bound to a good effect on racial relations. It is perhaps true, that in order to prevent problems, their programs have centered about justice in the courts, better wages and working conditions, the abolition of lynchings and the abolition of the non-agreement, but it is also true their programs are expanding, as for instance at a recent conference where a mixed committee recommended the wiping out of the Jim Crow law. Let's hope for a conclusion in an interim movement in the South. Haitian Revenue Increases Inter-Racial Good Will The Harlem Store Failure The recent failure of A. L. Hart and Co., department store in Harlem, will send a quiver of regret throughout colored business circles in the entire country. Harlem, because of the size of its colored pop- ular store, free open and favo- rable opportunity for their achievement, and the fact that they compose the most cosmopolitan group of colored people anywhere in this country, regard it as one and the most successful social achievement. The failure of the Hert Co., the biggest attempt of its kind ever started by colored people in this country, has been attributed to many factors, including the wholly financed and conducted by West Indians, the excessive overhead and the passive opposition of the native New Yorker were some of the reasons given and perhaps the main feature of the standing feature of the failure that should not escape notice and that is genuine attitude of confidence-expressed by stockholders in the management. The business integrity of the Hert Co. and this is a distinct gain in colored business procedure. One of the biggest business concerns now conducted by Negroes in the Company, and one which now has assets of above $10,000,000, began with a failure but saved its integrity and this plus the experience, served to make the company more hopeful. Let us hope that the Harlem experience will be the same. Let the men study the causes of the failure and begin immediately to build a company that is conceded that Negroes cannot conduct every kind of business that any other people conduct. It must be shown that they cannot get proper training. Editor Obliged To Cut.

W. COLEMAN. 1735 Federal St., Phila. KELLY MILLER SAYS The enlightened self-interest of the Negro aligns him on the side of the bonus for ex-service men. Secretary Mellon's plan of tax-reduction affects but the smallest fraction of the race, whereas the bonus would reach 400,000 of our young men, many of whom would find it of good advantage in securing a good start in life. Religion Alone Can Save the World The Washington Post of Sunday, December 30th, carried a symposium under the above caption, in which were set the views and the most eminent celebrists of America. Such notable divines as Cardinal Oconnel, of Boston, Rt. Rev. Jay E. Freeman, Bishop of Boston, W. F. McDowell, of Washington, D. C.; Rabbi Abram Simon, president Central Conference of American Rabbi;s; Rev. Charles F. Aked, and Rev. Charles W. F. McDowell, contributed their mature judgments to the enrichment of this symposium. It is needless to say that they all reached the same conclusion; they all worked with the same premise and followed the same formulas of reasoning. But an coelestialistical decision on a religious discussion is discounted because it is rarely hypothesized when he is not equally free to reach the opposite conclusion from the one he has proposed, and is rarely upon the opinion of an office holder for the soundness of the policies of the administration of which he forms a part. A minister of a Baptist on the validity of immersion or of a Catholic on the infallibility of the Pope is derived from the doctrine of the devotee to which the devotee belongs. A minister of religion must conclude that religion alone can save the world or discredit the devotee in view of how to defend. We are not surprised therefore that the symposium shall indicated the only savior of mankind. The most interesting feature of the discussion grows out of the fact that it was inaugurated by the thoughtful address, of the Secretary of Labor, Joseph minded and that so worldly-minded a journal as the Washington Post would devote two pages of its Sunday issue to this spiritual theme. Deliberate Arguments The arguments of the participants in the symposium were reasoned and deliberate, and of failure assumed and dogmatic finality. For the most part the contributors laid aside their garb of superior object in hand after the manner of the lay mind in quest of the truth. The world has made ample trial of politics, science and economics, and do not seem to yield to the treatment. The miserable moral debacle of the world war has convinced the world that it is unlikely means of salvation. Everything has been tried that can be tried except religion. One might be tempted to ask if religion too has not essayed to solve the world war with too abundant success. It certainly would seem so from a surface point of view. But on deeper reflection it has been given a chance. The main burden of human effort is today devoted to things concrete and material, through the things of the soul in the scale on which we estimate practical values. If mankind obeys the laws of nature, earnestness and sincerity in things spiritual that they devote to the pursuit of knowledge, power and wealth, the results would not but increase the promotion of the desired human relations. Religion and Life Religion as it is now practiced and exemplified in the attitude and conduct of its devotees has little impact on the issue among men. The proper adjustment of the political and economic international relations, the harmonious concordance between the various races into which mankind is divided, the issue of capital and labor, and the eternal question of sex are the four great problems before the human race. It is but a simple affirmation that the present day religion has little effective bearing on any of these great problems. The practical question is, will the stubborn heart of the world yield to religion which would, if allowed, bring peace on earth and good will to men. Race Problem and Religion The race problem is but one of the great tastes with which our day and generation is called upon to grapple. The poor Negro is made to feel that the race problem, as now practised, reacts upon this problem. Passion and prejudice grow apace. But there is in the very nature and essence of religion the ham for the cure of the world. I have been beguiled into disproportionate discussion of this symposium by reason of the fact that my last week's contribution was taken up almost wholly with the religion issue, and the whole nation was naturally enough elated to see that the mind of the whole nation is tending to the same conclusion. The thought of the world is now turning to re- Second Section If we could only run the serious, sober, calm and deliberate intelligence into this channel, it would go a long way towards seeing one feature of us that is as distressing us any other. The Negro and the I have carefully scanned the Negro press for several weeks to find some serious discussion of the bonus issue and the relations of the two sides. What I was looking for. There were some four hundred thousand Negro soldiers in the war, every one of whom is entitled to share on equal terms with white soldiers in his larger. We had to be regraded as a raid upon the treasury but a simple recognition of the unequal burden that our soldier boys were called upon to bear as compared with those who stayed at home and continued to work, which the war brought in its raid. The Negro will feel little relief from the lightening of the burden of his income tax. For the man with his income tax below the level of the tax gatherers' minimum. He does indeed pay a heavy income tax, but he does not sort which does not figure in the public tax receipts. Mr. Mellon's plan of tax reduction affects but the smallest fraction of the bonus would reach four hundred thousand of our young men, many of whom would die if he were in securing a good start in life. The Negro has played ultratic politics long enough. The expediit, the laborer, the miner, the farmer are all seeking to promote the governmental policies which have been imposed or bloc to which they belong. Diversed of all parry politics or of fractional division within the ranks of the Negro, he ended self-interest agendas film on side of the bonus. The Approaching Election The election of a president of the United States takes place next November. It is as certain as any president. The President Coolidge will be nominated by the Republican party. It seems almost as certain that Mr. McKinion will head the Democratic ticket. The issues between the two parties will depend on the fundamental. There is no slurp divisible issue or good and bad, right and wrong, between the two parties. The average American护照 chose his alignment by tossing a penny. The two opposing candidates are both high minded, well meaning, patriotic American feeling after issues that will win, if imply they might find them. The governor will enforce the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments; both will make a feint at the Eighteenth. Neither is positively for or emphatically against the principle involved in the league of Nations. The issue of taxation and the bonus splits both parties along the same bins. It matters not which wins, the nation will not be lost; the bonus splits both parties will have its serious problems. And so the ordinary white citizen can exercise his judgment and take his choice. The Negro is quite differently when it comes to all but forced by circumstances to make his party choice. History, tradition and contemporary attitude of the rival parties largely determine his alignment. The party of Lincoln and the party of Jackson more persuasively than the party of Tillman, Vardaman and McAdoo. Some will try the experiment of vindictive politics, and seek to punish the party of Lincoln by alignment with former enemies. At the hands of the one the Negro suffers sins of omission; from the other he fears sins of commission. Supposing the party equally sound and sincere in their Americanism. The Negro prefers Coolidge from his tradition and environment. He feels a safer reliance on Vermont than on Tennessee Jimstone.

It is the tale of a cultured black Chicago artist who beats out his white friend and rival for the hand of a wealthy white Chicago heiress only to run up against the insuperable objection of her father, "who hates niggers" and orders the artist out. He goes and the heiress spends that night in his studio. The next day her father comes for her and there is enacted that strange scene in which it is revealed that both hero and heroine are of mixed parentage. The father in each case being wealthy white southern planters and the mother a house servant. "Negroes have raped white women retail," wails an old mammy, but "the white man has raped the colored women wholesale." No wonder that alto the author is a wealthy white woman with four other published stories to her credit, no white publisher would touch her latest volume.

ES MORE IMPORTANT THAN POLITICAL JOBS NATIONAL ISSUES MO POLITIC NATIONAL ISSUES MORE IMPORTANT THAN POLITICAL JOBS New York—James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in a letter published in the New York Tribune of December 22, asserts that Negroes are less interested in Republican Party affairs and political plums, than they are in vital national issues affecting the race. Mr. Johnson's letter was written in reply to a dispatch of the Tribune's Washington correspondent. REGARDING NEGRO VOTERS To the Editor of the Tribune, Sir. As a matter of fact, Negroes throughout the country are not greatly concerned about whether there are two Republican delegates from South Carolina or twenty.

GEORGE WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY Mary Simpson, Ex-Slave, Who Ran a Store in Downtown New York Years Ago Inaugurated Custom New York, Jan. 3—(K. N. F.

To her is traceable the celebration in this city of Washington's birthday, now come to be observed as a national holiday. Mary Simpson had been a slave in the family of Gen. Washington, but he had set her free while living here after the Revolution. When the Government moved southward, Mary remained behind and began a soldier's kitchen, baked together with pies and cookies of her own making. She also did washing for the battaloes in the neighborhood. Her gratitude to Gen Washington was very great and she gave expression in more noteworthy fashion than many others who owed to the same debt. His birthday of course, had been celebrated in the family when he was a boy. She was free to enjoy the celebration by observing February 22 as a day of festivity or holiday (for herself and her patrons). She baked a great cake, called Washington cake, because it was one of which he was very fond; she baked punch and propieded coffee. These things she set out in a large table under a portrait of the first president. So on the 22d day of February it became a custom for the family to eat this much respected woman, to eat the cake to drink her punch and to praise her old master, both as soldier and as general and president.

Southern representation in the national convention is a purely Republican party affair. Southern representation in Congress involves disgrant violation of the Constitution and is a matter of national concern. On the issue of delegates to the Republican National Convention few, if any, votes of Northern Negroes are affected. But votes will definitely be affected by the Republican Party's stand or its failure to make a stand on the Ku Klux Klan and by its attitude toward the Dyer Anti-Lynch Bill. Negroes throughout the country are becoming less and less interested in appointments of individuals to office, though they maintain the right of colored citizens to participate in the administration of government and to be given opportunity to serve their country in this manner. They are becoming more and more interested in straightforward banding of vital national issues directly affecting their welfare as a group. JAMES WELDON JOHNSON Secretary N. A. A. C.

THE MAN AND THE PARROT A man and a parrot once became friends. One very cold winter day they asked him to help him dress his mouth and blew them. On the parrot inquiring the reason, the man told him he did it to worm his hand around the mouth to eat. The food being quite hot the man raised the bowl towards his mouth and blew on it. On the parrot again he did it to cool the soup.

Love is an outwardly, inwardly, self-overly, unexplainable feeling of affection for the other follow. An Old Maid's Definition Love is the magic which makes a woman work 24 hours a day for rather poor board and just sufficient clothing to keep her from being arrested; that paralyzes her and will leave her unable to move, exercise and stories which an innocent child would listen to only with its tongue in its little cheek; that throws a glamor over some poor worm which disguises him as a young god and the rest of the world; that the rest of womankind because there is only one of those goals to be possessed. OLD MAID. A Love Story In the hammock beneath the lovely trees the two were sitting. Scarcely ten yards away the gentlewaves hawed softly on the pebbly surface of the water the two watched the empress of the night, the moon, rise slowly from the trees on the distant shore, spreading its soft mellow glow like a path-way over the shimmering water. In the distance the beacon lights of the lake signified the water outfit them. High above the stars twinkled with a new brightness. The gentle breezes of summer softly kissed the shore, swaying ever so slightly the tall grass about their feet. The setting approached the perimeter of the lake, restricting himself.

Mrs. ISAAC W. SMITH, Randallstown, Md. Absent-Minded Kidnaper We were visiting my mother in the city one time when babies were the commonest thing in the family. For several years I had been relieved of the care of an infant. One afternoon I had walked into the store with my mother. On leaving the department store, absent-mindedly or from force of habit, I appropriated a nearby perambulator which she dropped when she sleeping infant. No one stepped me. Where was the real mother, I never made out. I strolled slowly homeward, enjoying the afternoon walk, and not until I had entered the yard where my mother and husband sat on the porch waiting for me did I come to. "Where did you get it," inquired my husband, and then, following their mystified gaze, I stopped in my tracks. "Well, tell you it required some explanation, for we had to get in communication with the police station to convince the parents of little youngster that I hadn't intended to kidnap it. W. R.

EVELYN, MATTHEWS, 219 N. Amity Street Home Tested Recipes Send us your favorite recipe for this column, particularly if this is the season for it. Address Cookery Editor, AFO-AMERICAN. Butterscotch Cookies Want a new variety to add to your cookie jar? Try these and surprise the kiddies—and their daddy. Use 2 cups brown sugar 1 scram cup butter and lard mixed 2 eggs beaten in sugar cream of tahini 1 teaspoon soda. Use vanilla 4 cups flour, 1 cup nut meats. Let the dough rise over night and in the morning slice into cookie size and bake. Vegetable Soup The following recipe is a good one: One-quarter head of cabbage, 4 medium-sized potatoes, 1 onion, 2 or 3 carrots, or turnips if you have them, 6 medium-sized tomatoes, 2 or 3 slices of salt pork or a generous lump of butter. Chop the vegetables and meat into either small pieces and cook enough to cover well. Soak with salt and pepper. Fresh red or green pepper pools give an excellent flavor. After cooking two or three hours or even four hours (the longer you cook it the better it is) add enough boiling water to make the soup the right consistency. If you want it still hotter, stir up some dumplings drop them in, cook another half hour, and—when the butter is used in place of meat, it should be put in last. ELIZABETH M. Soup Less Likely to Curdle I have found in making tomato soup, if the salt is not added until the last thing before serving, the milk is not nearly so likely to curdle and same is true of softened potatoes. Add the salt just before serving. Beat When Eggs Are Cold Fegs may be beaten much quicker and easier if they are cold. Also chill the platter or bowl and adae a tablespoonful of cold water, and they will soon be beaten to a soft froth. MYRTLE P. Easy Way to Pick a Chicken The easiest way to pick a chicken en is to scraat it and put it imme- dately into a pan of cold water and wash off the feathers. This takes the hairs and pin feathers off better. When the feathers have been washed off, rub the chicke- der with a cloth, and since it. The wife and daughters of a honey producer I know have the softest, whitest hands I ever knew women to have who do all kinds of housework as well as tend a garden. They say it is due to washing in vinegar made from honey. If you'd have nice hair, try a carrot diet. I peeled my hair after a shower and never fever as a young girl. It never grow as long and thick as before until I had an unusual appetite for carrots one winter. I have had my hair fall out several times since then, but it always grows fine and soft and luxuriant again after eating carrots two or three times. Try it on your locks. Every stock riser will testify it will put a shiny coat on a horse or cow. Why not on the human head. Launch if you dare! But try it—W. D. R. Saves Much Dish Wiping I place a thick towel, or several thicknesses of cloth on the table when I am washing dishes. When I am washing dishes in water and put them on the cloth to drain. Next wash the saucers and, when they are ready to place on the cloth, I put them on the cloth but away. This saves much time and dish wiping. Dish Washing Hint When preparing to wash dishes remember that all egg, milk and flour dishes should soak in cold water while sugar and fat dishes should be soaked in hot water. For very greasy dishes use hot water and soda. MRS. L. T. ERWIN. Soak Peas or Beans Dried peas or beans should be soaked in cold water for at least eight hours before cooking.

Mother was a widow and had been ill a long time, and money was as scarce as "hens' teeth." To have asked for it it would have been as foolish as asking for a heavy doctor's bill and medicine was to be paid and a grocery's bill was mounting fast. I thought of all this and shut my eyes to all the displashing displays and walked fast past them as the I didn't care for pretty things. But I did care and the call was insistent. One day I made a batch of fudge. A caller tasted it and raved in one of the uptown candy parlors! Your fudge is as delicious as theirs! I tossed on my pillow half the night but I had an idea. Our home was small, but it was right on the street and we had a window in front room. Next morning I had my proposition on the breakfast table. Mother let me have my way as a "try out." I changed the front room to make it suitable for people to come in and out and paint my window. This I filled with the most used makes of fudge and divinity. I used Nike green tissue paper crushed a little; to nest the pretty boxes of candy and have never seen a more attractive display anywhere. My venture was a success from the very first week, when I took in enough to pay cent on the showcase, pay for the boxes bought from a deal in the city, of which I had three dozen, and paid half of the grocer's bill. Mother was as delighted as I was, for I think she had a faint idea that a grocery bill might easily rob her of house and home and then what would have been the use of food? I did not. I missed upown degrees and gave better values and other. I only dealt in five varieties of fudge — marshmallow, date and three kinds of nut fudge, and people came again and again for it. Often I sent out samples with my address which brought me orders. I began the work in June, and in the three months that followed began made a large expense of cents of money in mounds and fancy gel plates, also materials used, cost $24, and had paid our living expense this while. I decided this was too good to stop, so I engaged a crippled girl—a dainty next little thing who needed the money as badly as I had—to check for me while I was at school. I made all my candies nights. Saturdays had a candy shop. Sundays had this way I paid my doctor's bill, the grocer's bill my little clerk and kept up with our expenses, as there were only mother and myself. It got to be the custom in school to write my orders to be delivered next day which I did thru my little cousin who also attended the same school and added 5 centures. I'm going to accomplish wonders along this time next summer. Girls, try something like this; it's great fun being your own boss. Sunshine Flowers My favorite house plant is the yellow oxalis. Early in the fall I go to what evidently once was a holding ground for sheep, in some past day, off the open ranges. Here I soop up a bucketful of the rich, pulverized soil, take it home and heat it thoroughly to kill all forms of life which might prey on the bulbs. I use an old washpan, for lack of anything else of the right size and shape for best results. I replace six or eight in this pan and then soak with half an inch and then soak in water for a full day before placing it in my large window. Later on when the winter days are dreariest that sun is one flaming mass of yellow and to catch, a glimpse of it when going the monotonous rounds of housework, when I'm particularly tired on downhearted, is like a dandelion in the wind. And I have seen more than one face on the street reflect a cheerful light at sight of it, so I have learned that my sunshine flowers should be keep where passers-by may enjoy them. The bulbs increase ten times in a season, and if I don't keep them in the doors, All the plant requires is plenty of water and sunshine, particularly the latter. If Windows Raise Hard Recently I moved into a house where the windows upstairs would not roll. A friend told me the best way to loosen windows that move hard or are stuck and seem swollen from being closed a long time or during rainy weather, was to moke a tablepoon of hard paint a little between the window frame and casing, also on the roller and rope it worked like magic—MRS.

Last evening Mr. Jones and Mr. Harris called at a certain house to visit the young baby. So after one looking at the baby they both were in silence for a few moments. Then the young gentleman came up and said, "Lady, I don't meet any harm, but tell the truth, as I am alarmed, is this a baby or a kid in the time of Topsy that just growed." Ask yourself the question. Who was embarrassed, the mother of the My Embarrassing Moment I was about 16. Then our farm ran a large creek with numerous deep pools of water. One special pool at the lower end of the farm we designated "the swimming hole." Farther down the creek was the farm of the Williams' family, and Mrs. Williams' family, and four persons of a beautiful daughter with whom I was much in love. The swimming hole was shielded from public view by tighter, so one swimming day I went there for a swim. Just as I had pooled the last garment from my body except a red undershirt I heard a terrible bellowing and saw Mr. Williams' old ball charging toward me with terrifying speed. I rushed into the water with the hope the infuriated beast would not harm me. It was mistaken, for "Darley" came splashing into the pool and I lost no time in retreating up a sapling standing near the water. But the worst was yet to come, in my burry up the tree I bitten my head right into a large hornets' nest and the insects began stinging me furiously. The bull was now a the root of the hornets I once knew to bear the hornets longer. I jumped astride of the bull's neck and clung on him as a clothespin does a line. The mad brute made a dash toward the Williams' residence and ran at breakneck speed, followed by a long procession of the hornets. Arriving at the investigation, but jumped right over, upsetting two beehives and throwing me to the ground. My sweetheart was sitting under a shade tree churning and the brunette made a dash for her, knocking over the churn of milk. The mother ran out screaming with broom in hand, but Darry chased both mother and daughter into the house. I did not wait to see further results, but scrambled back over the floor and ran to the swimming pool where I saw her swimming clothes and dress myself. Here I met with another disappointment. My clothes were nowhere to be seen. A hired hand had found the clothes and supplying me drowned, ran back and reported the sad news to the family. I could hear mother screaming. Then I slipped to a clump of elderberry bushes in the corner of the orchard and called to father to send me some raiment. [Image of a woman with a long haircut, wearing a white dress and a necklace.

Walker Mfg. Co., Inc. 640 N. West St. Indianapolis, Ind. --- Everything Went Wrong In the month of June several years ago I decided to take a needed vacation in the country visiting some friends. I had been teaching in a small town, and, after my reports were all finished, I thought I could leave care behind until the next week when I expected to be married. My mother and I had set no delimited date, but I thought I had made it plain in my last letter that the important event would occur the following week. So I set out in high glee for the country, but did not stay long for on Saturday afternoon a telephone message saying my husband would be the counsellor of our house and understood we were to be married the next day. I hustled back to town, spent most of the night packing and departed by an early train the next morning for my home town. When I arrived at my sister's home where we were to be married I found the girl who was assisting her were in the midst of spring house cleaning. However, we all set to work with a will and by afternoon everything was in readiness. The house was straightened, the flowers plumed for, and the minister and his wife had promised to come from a neighboring town. I was often a short time away. We did such in such a short time. We also had a lovely 6 o'clock dinner. We were married about 5 o'clock that afternoon and have enjoyed far greater happiness in our married life than when we were single, for "Where the heart is, there the home is" = SINCERITY, Lecompton, Kun.

A few moments later Dixon added: "The so-called Negro has a wi- tal task to perform here in America." "Such as what?" demanded the Senator, dubiously. "One detail of this is to reinforce into the national stock that vigor necessary for its perpetuation. Eugenists and sociologists say that the aviation of Europe stock in all the countries of Europe, except Russia and Germany. The war has quickened the process of decay in all Europe. This country has been free from migration. It is the foreign element that has kept America going; therefore, with a decayed supply, the result is evident. In my belief, what the Caucasus has a real interest in the invasion of the Caucasus is the vitiation of the Caucasian stock is glaringly apparent in an infusion of blood from some primitive stock, with nerves and tissues unspoiled by the greed of civilization, like the vitiation of the primitive stock would stand for it, which I very much doubt. The Negro, with his fresher, more buoyant mentality, can do a great deal toward relieving the tension on the front line, the statistics of 1915 show, the statistics of 1915 show, one subside for every 8,500 white; one for every 26,000 colored; white insane; one in 436; Negroes, one in 102; white drugs and are prone to such typhag and mob violence—all signs of sad nerves. President Rittenhouse of the Life Extension Institute gave (December, 1915) the following statement: "The vitality of the people of this nation, and the chief was nervous stream. This it is for this reason then—reopening the ravages made by civilization—that Nature has with its power from its reserve food—the Negro—hey in America." Dixon found a passage in his notebook and said: "Sir Henry Johnston, in his address before the Universal Race Congress says: "He [the Negro] has certainly been endowed by Nature with a deoxygenated body, and is surpassing that of the European, Asiatic and American Indian living under conditions similarly unfavorable to the struggle for existence. Those few scientist men in Britain, the United States and Brazil who have striven to understand the anthropology of the Negro and to compare it with the white man are rather inclined then otherwise to argue now that the Negro and the Negroed man still may contribute in the future, a very important quota to the whole sum of humanity—an element of soundness and stability in physical development and certain mental qualities which have been two centuries after Christ, cannot afford to do without." The Senator appeared to be thinking deepy. After a few moments he asked: "How do you account for the higher criminality of the Negro? He is nearly four times as criminal as the white man." "It is the first of all, to the injustice he receives from the officers of the law. Justice, when a Negro is brought, before a United States judge, awards her scales and takes a firmer grip on her sword. Most of the offenses of Negroes are against property or are caused by low wages. Negroes are poorer than whites; you will find that Negroes are in prison more than the same reason that you will find that more poor whites in prison than rich ones. Again, Negroes are more literate. Some are in entire ignorance of the law; some are little or no effort to get education to them, sometimes actually prevent it, and you expect these poor, ignorant people to know and to be acquainted with the complexities of the law, and to break laws for the same reason that strangers to foreign countries commit breaches of custom. Further, in most of the Southern States, no wrong." White men may wrong Negroes by their behavior, who offends a white person is severely punished. You probably recall the case of the arch-murderer Williams, on the Georgia Death Farm. For the proven murder of eleven Negroes, it was only after a severe battle and because of the worldwide publicity given the crime that Williams received life-imprisonment.

In short, the whites are directly responsible for a very large percentage of Negro criminality. Find rightly asks: How do you explain the exaggeration by all kinds of barbarians and unjust treatment, that self-respect and moral dignity, which constitute the best barriers against criminal learnings? It is a truism that, if you continually exaggerate the faults of offenses and punish them and what a very inferior creature he is, you will succeed in most cases in making him a debased, spiritless thing. On the other hand, if you notice his good qualities, you inspire him to do better. To me, the great wonder is that you can be so high, but that it is so low, under the great provocation. This becomes all the more remarkable when one considers that the Mexican, Italian, Austrian, French, Canadian and Ussian immigrants all have a very percentage of crimes on Norwegians. "What about rape?" next asked the passenger. "Rape, in one form or another, has always existed among all people. mean the rape of white women by black men." "I can't see where it is different from any other kind of human race, except that it proves very profitable to the owners of many overseas companies," he said, certainly not regret the occurrence, "thus as they will." "It seems to me that there are certain black men who seek out white women in the same manner that certain white men seek out black women. Now, since the women with nothing near the object with nothing near the facility that the latter can, they sometimes resort to open attack in the same manner that, if a rage finds him can talk you out of your money, the women with nothing near the form of rape is peculiar to the United States and to a very small extent in those parts of South Africa where exist conditions similar to the Southern States. In Japan, women with nothing near the white woman is as safe or safer than among her own people. In Cuba, Puerto Rico, and in all the South and Central American countries where there are women where he has liberty of movement, this condition is equally unknown. This form of rape—whose object is a white woman, and not mere gratification on the first woman that comes along—is, in short, a reaction of segregation. "With segregation as the basic factor, here are some of the details that go to make up the Negro attorney profession, the pictures of nude white women in poses more or less suggestive that may be bought or seen in shop windows; revenge—Negroes see white men making their own women a type of he, a Negro, cannot sometimes get. He hears, too, the often inflammatory talk by Negroes less ignorant than himself against his slaves, his slaves and last, but not least, rum. All of these causes go to make up a just as paralyzing to the social will as that described by Shakespeare in Sense and Sensibility, full of blame, savage, rage, cruel, not to trust, past reason, hunted, mad in pursuit and possession." This state of mind, overwhelming a will that influences, drives him on to the deed. An equally important fact is that the white woman is sometimes to blame. A few months ago a passenger volunteered to me the information of how a white woman, wife of a farmer, had been taken in magnetic defibrillation with a Negro farmhand. The woman, to shield herself, accused the Negro, which, you will admit, would be a very PER POUND AND DRIED' AT WORK IRONED And Laundry on 1664 Baltimore, Md. D EED Ironed Sndry Baltimore, Md.

"The greater the reason, sir, in most cases of liaisons between Negroes and white women it is usually the white women who makes initiative, the women who works with them, be they will rarely make advances to any man who is a personality, fearing a retusal, which would be a great blow to their pride. In this case the desire for sexual novelty overcomes us, and they may take the man who is not a personality. According to our talk yesterday, it must be admitted that many white women, particularly in the South, have a great fondness for Negroes, a man inherited quite legitimately from his "A taste inherited from their fathers;" said the Senator to himself in alarm.

Bed-Time Stories In A Pullman Smoker THE LAWMAKER (Lincoln News Service) "Well, I see from the Paris paper that another French anarchist has been sent on the long trail," said a line-featured traveler, who looked as though he might be a college professor. "He didn't believe in God, and he didn't believe in himself." continued the professional gentleman, as he blew a few smoke rings from his pericope and looked intently at his companion, who, to my surprise, was our old friend, the servant on carne right, said the servant on carne right," said the mercenary. "Those ginks that want to run the Government single-handedly must be shown where to get oil—and what to do," said America, and no kind of punishment too severe for "em," he continued, with an emphatic gesture. "Did he have a fair trial?" inquired the mild, as he turned "Oh, yeah; and his lawyer exhausted every effort to see that he was justly dealt with. Nevertheless, he went to the gulletine with curses on his lips, and with no visible sign of it. "He ought not to have had a trial—anarchists entitled to any, sputtered the meerschaum's owner, in an ascending tone.

"So you were a hawker!" continued the Wandering Jew, who seemed to have warmed up to the debate. "And were you active in any particular legislation during your time?" "I sure was," responded the angular one, curtly "But if I ever voted for any measure, which gave me the power to amuse me, then I want to apologize to the people of my state," he concluded with a look of pride. "What am I an anarchist, amphw?" insidiously impaired the Jew. "Anyone who wages war against the law of both tool and man," promptly responded in a tone which indicated great self-satisfaction.

The bout would last just five rounds, and the Black Panther would win by a knockout. By rounds: ROUND ONE—They spar cautiously in the centre of the ring, and then clinch. Wills has the best of the infighting and punishes the midriff and kidneys of the foreigner. 2 ROUND TWO—Wills knocks Firpo down three times, They are heavy socks and carry enough steam to start a locomotive. ‘The first catches Firpo behind the left ear. As he gets back on his feet again Wills drops him with a beauty on the point of the jaw. It looked as tho Firpo was gone, but he gamely rises, only to go down under a fierce uppercut that caught him full in the solar plexus, He fell forward and crumpled up. The bell saved Firpo. ROUND THREE—Firpo was freshengd by his rest and a swig from a dark boltle. For the ‘first time the yeferee cautioned Wills for holding Firpo with his left hand while pummeling him with his right. ROUND FOUR—Firpo was not out by a jug full and kept Wills dodging his mighty swings. One of them starting near the floor seemed to hypnotize Wills, for he could not have missed seeing it coming. It caught the black man on the jaw and brought -him to his knees. Tt was the first time I ever saw Wills down, and it hurt him 2 plenty. ROUND FIVE—Firpo had given the best he had. butit was not good enough for Wills, who seemed to have a vision of beating Firpo and getting that long looked for crack at Dempsey. Wills aimed another at Firpo’s weak stomach, and when the Wild Bull covered, Wills’ right traveled a bare six inches to the alien’s jaw. This time the Wild Bull could not get up and amid pandemon- ium, the referee counted him out. YOUNG JEFF CLARK K, 0,5 DAN, EDWARDS COUNTY In 4 four round preliminary fea- ture at the boxing melee club of Benny Franklin's” Olymple Club, Young Jeff Clark elubbed Danny Ed wards into ‘submivion after three frames of fighting. Clark weighed in at 143 pounds and Edward at 145.” Clark started right out from the bell tap ls fin- ish his man up and Edwards was down three tines in the first round. He was nearly counted out twice in the second round, and when he vol- tuntarily took to che mat In the third session, the referee counted him out for failure to fight. Roth men are native Biltimoreans,” but Edwards has been doing most of his fighting An Pennsylvania. ‘This is Clark's third start in tho squared rena ‘and he hax promise of making o good boy if given an opportunity, His interests are being leoked after by Buck Robinson. In the feature bout Benny Schwartz, the southern white fy- welght champion, was awarded the decision over Young Denlco, Fill- pino flywolght champion of the U. §. Navy, after twelve rounds of the fastest fighting witnessed here in 1a long time. Although Denico lost fhe won the hearts of the crowd by his gameness, hly courage, aud his wonderfully fast attack. ‘Schwartz lontweighed his onponent hy 7% pounds and ix decidedly more ex- perjenced boxer: but tha Fllipinc did not stop on this account, and waded right Into his man like 2 whirlwind, Schwartz tried his old holding and butting tactics but Deni- feo soon put a quiletus on this hy Tetting Schwartz have plenty of body blows and uppercuts. —Dehteo was roundly cheered when he lett the ring while Schwartz was the trsel for a wild puthurst of Hoots snd eeauee ee ee ee | SPECIAL : SALE MEN'S ALL-WOOL’ | SCARFS, $1.15 MEN'S SLIP OVER SWEATERS, 98c MEN'S HEAVY RIBBE!

Rutledge, white, a clerk in the office of William S. Gordy, State Comptroller, was held under $1,000 bail Friday charged with shooting 14-year-old George Joynes at the latter's home Thursday Rutledge shot Joynes after he had spent some time in the home where he went to adjust a real estate transaction with Issues Ransom, foster father of the boy. Stories told by those in the house of the time of the shooting are conflicting, although they agree in main features up to the time the boy was shot. Summoned by Phone According to Rutledge he was summoned by a telephone call to the home of Ranson, $32 Harlem avenue, and upon arriving there an argument followed over a real estate agent. Rutledge lured him to $900. Rutledge says he was attacked and struck in the head. To save his life, according to his statement, he Fred in the dark, wounding the boy. At first when he appeared in the police station, Northwestern Police Station Rutledge told officers that he had been lured to this home by a fake telephone call and robbed of his brief case and four dollars in money. He stated that Rutledge fired the shot which wounded the boy after he had left his brief case and such money as he had in his pocket as assurance that he would return the next day and pay the $200. They said that Rutledge did that the house was dark at any time. Rutledge was there. Owed Him $300 According to Issue Ransome, he gave Rutledge $300 a year ago at 743 Dolphin street, and that Rutledge not only failed to put the product through, but failed to return the $300. He had tried to get in touch with him and finally succeeded reaching him at Rutledge, see Ransome and the shooting was the outcome. Ransome stated that the conversation was over and that he had started up stairs and allowed the boy to see Rutledge to the door when he heard the report of three revolvers and found the boy lying on the hut door. Rutledge drew the gun away and a peculiar fact in the affair is that one of the bullets penetrated the brief case belonging to Rutledge, which was lying on a couch in the room, according to Rutledge. Corder to Investigate Comptroller Gordy says he will make a thorough investigation of the matter. The wounded boy is in a critical condition at the hospital. He fact that Rutledge kept the $300 for a year is said to mean either that he had made on a contract for Konsene whereby he was to keep the money providing the deal did not go thru, or that he intended to hold on to it until a later date.

GEORGIA MIGRANT IS DRUGGED Robbed after being forced to drink "bikker", Daniel Herry, recent migrant from Dorsey, Ga., in a dazed condition was picked up by a store detective in Bisenburg's after he had taken several pairs of silk gloves from the counter last week. He told Judge Stanton that when he came to the city two men took him into a room in the downtown section and forced him to drink, stating that they would kill him it he refused. They then took $35 from him, and then what happened until his arrest was unknown to him. Impressed with his story the Judge took him in the hands of the probation department and the Big Brother organization of the Sharp Street Community house has taken his case for adjustment and will find him employment.

Should the next President be a Republican then they will start asking for jobs after it is all over. My contention is, now the right time to turn up something while the President is warming up in the many different communities there are some who will say we can't get anything now for there is nothing to be given out but this is Gentlemen, I would like to call you attention to that farm born proposition. It is a very simple thing, yet no colored farmers in Maryland have received benefits from the Government for the simple reason that of them know nothing about it, and most of them are so fenced in in white communities that they are not able to get some of the "soft" dough. What we need is an agent who can travel over the State and organize those farmers who are in a position to get the money. If the local Colored, Republican politicians have the knowledge of the State at heart they will look into this matter. If they haven't, which I don't believe they have, they will stay away from it and let things go on as they have in the past. I have an idea some of the bosses could make some headway along this line if they will pester themselves, for they would benefit with these loans but a great deal of beetle is derived and in all seriousness this matter should be looked into. Now, that the holidays are over with I will proceed to take up some unfinished business. Of course in the hurry and scurry to entertain and be entertained to give presents and to receive presents some matters of grave importance were treated by many people. These matters now however are receiving the minute attention of interested parties and in some cases a conclusion must be arrived at to satisfy some disgruntled people. One of these matters is of transcending importance and should get its right airing. In the first place, the matter of schools is always of interest to the public and in this way it is important because some young blood in the system has been placed over the older heads. Miss Gladys Holland and Miss Mary Brown have been made teachers in charge of certain schools and in occupying these higher offices have been placed over "school marms" who possibly used to teach them. These professionals have been the older teachers throughout the system in the words of Chaucer have "gurned" with pain. Their one topic of conversation is "how come?" They have worked the example in Algebra, Geometry and Trigonometry, but have failed to get the right answer. My acquaintance with these subjects has been very slight, but I have always been able to get it. While I realize many people in the school system are dull of comprehension yet I believe working this problem out by "multiplication" or "subvision" will get it. Back in the Bible somewhere they tell of a bride-groom who had to be met by some virgins. Now it appears the bridegroom was to come at night and all of the virgins were adjourned to have their lamps filled with oil and their wicks trimmed. There were some virgins who had their lamps filled and trimmed and there were also some foolish virgins who fooled around as some people are prone to do until this day, and when some one said, "Behold, the bridegroom cometh," these foolish virgins could not come up with a full lamp. They immediately tried to borrow some oil, but it was too late then for the bridegroom had arisen and they were in the language of the street "burst up" though they had no oil. The Wise Ones In a way there is a similarity between the two cases. In the case of the school teachers, some years ago, the word has passed down the line for all hands to brush up on education to bring an education in other and devious ways to educationally brighten up the corner. There were of course some wise virgins who took the prescription as directed and there were some foolish virgins who said "they aren't talking to me." Well, the thing is that they were. Some of the girls invested their money in summer clothes, Atlantic City, New York, Buckroe Beach and other way stations. Then there was another country to be heard from, that is to say, those old students who gave me that old time education. It good enough for father, and it's good enough for me." THE AFRO-AMERICAN SOUTH'S BIGGEST AND BEST WEEKLY FRIDAY, JANUARY 11 It appears Baltimore is develop because during the eight years of more "high brow" women than men. During the holidays at all of the "high brow dances there" any spirit of that kind, and we were particularly impressed by a year financial hardship particularly was this at the Sorority from the Central during that whole period. Now the bridegroom has arrived and those who toiled while others step before him are regarded of age or security. Miss Holland put in some summers in Columbia and Harvard University. Miss Brown stuck strictly to of Maryland Institute and an A. J. of Morgan College, we went over, Mr. J. R. of the University of Paris, which fact those in authority took notice of to the extent he is now head of three schools, Mr. Gross, who abstended Maryland Institute, was graduated from Morgan and now heads two schools. Both gentlemen are now working for Master's degrees. Also is, the School Board must have results. In the future those foolish Virgins had better get on the job for I hear that instead of promotion, there may shortly be some demanding. Gertrude Saunders' $1200 Mink Cape While I am talking up un-finished business I am compelled to hark back to the case of Miss Gertrude Saunders, the east-west star of "Lizz" and the present gifted companion of "Dianth." First, I must thank Miss Saunders for not surname me for my perfectly high regard and old dress worn at the Cayetey Theatre during the engagement of "Lizz" and secondly, I must compliment her on her present stage attire. Miss Summers really books as clean as a boon's hair in her new stage costumes, and is perfectly stunning the way she does her stuff in the show. She also is a known beauty in East Africa. Mink Cape that cost $1,200 and a squirrel wrap that cost $1,000, though I believe I could have saved her many hundreds of dollars on for by referring her to a prominent land furrier, Mr. C Major. I am enchanted to know she possesses a high priced roadster and an glad to know her career has been successful up to this point and only wish her continued success and prosperity, and for that Benefice collar stole. Now, get me right, I do not mean to say Miss Sanders did not attend the alleged Benedict College in South Carolina, and I do not mean to say she did not run away from the alleged Benedict College and to upon the stage, but I do mean to say, if the alleged Benedict College is a college then I can understand about those Southern Colleges? Their only resemblance to a real bona fide college is the fact the graduates wear caps and gowns upon graduation. COLLEGE GIRLS, DO NOT BE MISLED! High Brow Men and Women It is claimed there are not enough nice fellows to go around, so much so that some youngsters in bed were pressed into service for the occasion. However a situation like this works two ways. If the young men are not there must be some good reason, and I believe I know at least two good reasons. At one party, I saw any of the ladies that had been tapped in the line up and then run for their lives. On the other hand, I listened at the line of chatter from some of these "lofties" and I was surprised. It appears with some of our women folk, the art of being enterprising in fact. I never saw so many cum- headed women. It seems that they have taken the Bible literally, where it says, "Let your conversation be ye and may." At the present rate of progress, by next year we must appear to see some of the ladies or most of the ladies walking the floor looking through eyeglasses on a stick for men down from Heaven. WOODHOUSE AGAIN HEADS PHI BETAS WOODHOUSE AGAIN HEADS PHI BETAS John W. Woodhouse, principal of school 113, is home from Nashville, Tennessee, where he was re-elected General President of the Phi Beta Sigma, a national Greek Letter College for four years in leading colleges in attendance. The next session will be held in Philadelphia. Other officers elected were: H. L. Stephens, Marshall, Texas, vice president; A. L. Taylor, Washington, D. C. field secretary; R. B. Jacobs, vice president; R. L. Scruggs, Buffalo, N. T. editor of the official organ. "First Come, First Served, No Jim Crow," Was Slogan in 1901 Back in 1901 (my first year as secretary of the Y. M. C. A. in your city), in planning our fall and winter work two STAR concerts were among a number of other features in our entertainment programs and with such spirits as the late George Frey, Dr. Howard Young, T. H. Smith, T. A. Date, Milton White, Prof. Johnson and our own "Little" George Arthur and a number of other splendid fellows whose names I can not now recall. We put over in St. John's A. M. E. Church, our first program, with Hallie Quinn Brown, Prof. Simpson and Prof. Calhoun, all of Witherforce University starring in it. Our limited membership was used as a publicity and ticket selling committee. We had ten days from start to date of concert and we ventured to charge 25 cents against much protest. A very excellent educational, vocal and instrumental program gave us an audience of quite 400 and everybody was delighted. Thus began the foundation of the "Y" part in musicly working up Baltimore, later in 1904, came the Lyric Music Hall and the Coleridge Taylor Choral Society in its excellent condition of the Great Algonafrican's Trilogy, "Hiwatiana." 47 singers in the chorus, two grand pianos and vocalis us instrumental support. Two thousand and fifty-pair patrons. More than 200 whites attended, including the left wing of the choir, the Podhely Institute faculty. The right side boxes were sold to our people. We adopted what we called "preferred sale of cards," which gave all purchasers of these; the preference of the first two days' sale of the regular tickets put on sale at the regular box office down town. White musical groups from the churches and musical clubs bought groups for their lunch on folks did, but no "bill Crow" was tolerated. "Oh yes! the question came up in our general committee meeting for our whole membership was organized as such. Dr. H. Young, if I remember correctly, was its chairman. But the committee expressed itself decidedly against any thought of jim crow and left the authority to give the last word to anyone who would dare put such a proposition to a CHRISTIAN association. Well, a certain big official of the Peabody Institute did come forth with the proposition and indicated over the phone to the "Y" secretary that the faculty "might not wish the boxes already engaged in the Young Men's CHRISTIAN Association could not and would not stand for such a thing and gave this son-in-law of a former cabinet officer until the next morning to decide about the boxes. The decision was that "they would keep them," and all went well. We remember that since he left your spandial (yes for many reasons) a grand old city that segregation agitation kept its shadows over it for a number of years. But why should a Christian movement of any kind cater to its lingering influence? I am quite sure surprize Prof. Fudge is quite wrong in his statement that he is the executive paper of organization and etc." and the "hoes at the Central calls up and requests reservations for white people, etc." because during the eight years of my relations with the general secretary at the Central, I never found any spirit of that kind, and we were getting $600 a year financial help from the Central during that whole period. As much as I love our Druid Hill avenue branch and admire the splendid men that have made up its board of directors, and my forward looking and efficient comrade and successor, Mr. Booker, I can not agree with the name of Briggs, Jr. in his okay of the Jim Crow seating arrangements at the musical so excellent in every other respect, except the late startling and bowing to the K.

Walker Coal Company To the Editor: MAKE A BUDGET In the list of New Year's resolutions, if you have not already done so, don't forget to make a budget for yourself for 1924. Young men especially, wishing to insure their success in the future can begin in no better way than to itemize their expenditure, however little or much, and stick rigidly to a definite plan. The more difficult the effort to follow out this spending program the better it will be. The more temptations he overcomes to disregard over spending for social pleasure, the better it will be for him as well as the young lady whose future depends upon his success. Families will find smoother sailing if they follow a carefully made out budget that takes into consideration not only necessary spending, but savings and insurance as well.

Good Morning Judge Alton Too Cold and Too Hot—Police Didn't Miss Him— Mrs. Hall Gets Angry—Ghost Story Did Not Work "Between the devil and the deep blue sea," was how William Alton, 620 There street, described his predicament Saturday night. Police found him in a railway at the corner of Laurens St. and Stuart Hill avenue; after inmates of the house had sent in a report that some one was breaking in. "Well, Judge," said Alton, "I took a tip of whiskey and I was so hot that I was cold and on the outside that I did not know I was doing or where I was or anything." Breaking the cold weather of Saturday night and the kind of booing whiskey they are selling around bee, the Judge took his word for it that his condition was about what he said it was and let him down for $5 and costs. If the "price of joy" that Horner (110), 414 Elm Place, bought: Saturday night had made him as accurate in his aim as it made him brave, he might have been abused with fewer knees and brushes about his head Sunday morning. Of the Northwestern Police Station, found him drunk and when he attempted to take him in, Hill made a swing at the officer but missed.

Politics. In Baltimore it witnesses a sharp diffusion of the colored vote in the majority election last May, adding greatly to the big majority of Mayor Jackson. In November this division was more manifest, thus helping Governor Kitchie in his light for reelection. The race also lost his representation in the city Council last spring, when Warner T. McCulm and W. L. Fitzgeorge were defeated. Louis I. Davenport and Marcelo Dusay and another Lt. Justice defeated for the legislature last November. The defeats are described to back of Republican support. Education. The new building for the Colored High School was gotten under way and one section completed for occupancy by the more than 1,500 students emplaced at the school. The bandage of part-time classes has been completed and the faculty is the force. The Colored Parental School at Catonsville completed its first year of activity and light start-up to obtain for Morgan College adequate state aid. All of the internal orders reported by the principal gains in membership and all protected the same head, except the Elks. Nervologue. Death crippled the ministry of this city, taking away Revs. Harvey Johnson, E. W. S. Peek, James H. L. Diggs, R. T. Winn and James H. Burley, William H. L. school principal; John H.

DESERTIONS NUMEROUS Non-Support Cases Also Swell Total of Wrécoked Marriage Ties in Baltimore Homes For every five marriages that took place in Baltimore City in 1922 there was one divorce. The actual figure show that the number was nearly one in four, there being 1551 marriages and 342 divorces for the year. The number of marriages among colored for 1922 also exceeded those of 1922 per cent. Of all divorcees. The rate for divorces therefore show a greater increase than that of marriages. Taking into consideration the large number of non-support cases, which, in fact, are mostly cases of separation where there are yet no successes to the rate of marital breakdown would fall easily to 1 to 4. Most Marriages in December The largest number of marriages took place in the month of December, when 211 couples applied for licenses. June brides followed with a total of 264, in the immediate week before Christmas 85 couples applied for licenses. During the year about out of own homes were married in Washington to some marriage licenses. White most of these were in communities adjacent to this city, some of them were from places 35 for away as New York, and even Chicago. Washington was also largely represented. The principles in some of the marriages contracted reached the ripe age of 75 years, the average age of 78 years, the average random was about 26 years. The youngest was that of a bride of 14. Many Deserters The cause that brought most of those in the divorce courts was desertion, adultery and other forms of indictment were given in about one-eighth of the cases. In many cases where doses of the poison given as an inducement of the action of the cause implication of other causes were also cited. According to Roy S. Bond, one of the leading divorce lawyers at the Baltimore bar, the majority of cases seem to grow out of desertion based upon the fact that the plaintiff he also thinks the thoughtlessness with which many marriage contracts are gone into forms a basis for later divorces. The moral fibre of many men is not able to stand the strain required to keep the strain when conditions call for sacrifice. One out of every five persons applying for divorces were men. The men therefore seem to have been the cause of most of the separations. It is significant, however, that the majority of these brought against women, indictment was given as the cause. Children Greatest Sufferers In about one out of six of the cases brought into the courts there were children involved. In practically all of the non-support cases there were children involved, there being only six. In all of the cases where he brought the husband into court to obtain support for herself alone. The laws of Baltimore City deal unmercifully and rigidly with men who fail to support their children. No action of the wife in the case has been sufficient cause for lenency on the part of judges where all the cases have been with all this rigid protection of children by the courts a parallel study of non-support, divorce and juvenile delinquency cases show a marked relation. While some of the children coming into the juvenile court during 1923 came from well regulated families, the histories in 21 out of 25 cases show unfavorable marital conditions in the Since, therefore, the beginning of all new homes, the basis for all new life coming into the world, and the main spring of human relations is wrapped up in the marriage tie, its stability and strength, every new pair joined together in 1923 there was one separation ought to be of large concern to those interested in racial welfare here.
