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.

WIPE OUT KLAN ROOSEVELT'S ADVICE Ex-President's Son Speaker Before Thousands at Mass-Meeting in New York on Sunday Says House Will Pass His Anti-Lynch Bill, But Vote in Senate is Shaky New York, Jan. 19.—Extermination of the Ku Klux Klan and passage of the At. A. Lynching Bill now before Congress were urged yesterday as the platform of colored voters for 1824 by Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Theodore Roosevelt, and Representative L. C. Dyer, sponsor of the anti-Lynching Bill. They spoke at a mass meeting in Renaissance Casino, 1338 Street and Seventh Avenue, at which the struggles of the Association for the Advancement of Colored People against race prejudice during 1823 were recounted. No Compromise With K. K. K. "There can be no compromise on the Klan" asserted Col. Roosevelt. "It strikes at the root of Americanism. It is able to talk of freedom and liberty when, through cumulative drawn laws and operated encampment, American citizens are deprived of their fundamental right of franchise. "Lymeening has been a stench in the rostrils of all liberty-law, hawbinding Americans," he said in urging the passage of the lyer Anti-Lymeching Bill. "Lymeching has not simply destroyed its victims, but has cast a porphyra of fear over Negroes who wish to exercise their just privileges. We cannot say the lyer Bill would not stop an lynching. Perhaps they are right, but lymening means hawness, and we can have but one attitude toward it." "Pyer Bill Up Today" Representative lyer said his bill would be reported before the advisory Committee Thursday and he was confident it would be passed in the House. "The Republican Party is on record as favoring my bill," he said. "And if the republican Senate cannot pass it they will exhibit themselves be you as incapable of legislature." As in the last congress, he fate of this bill depends with the Republican Senators. Negroes should blame them if it fails. Representative Yvette attached the Federal Council of Churches for its report, issued last month at Cleveland, on the work of its later-terms Committee, pointing out that the number of typhnosis may dropped from 61 in 1921 to 28 in 1923. "The Christian churches in the United States" he engaged, "both white and cooped, have been doing nothing to promote good feeling between the black and white races. The Federal Council of Churches is claiming credit which does not belong to it."

GRANT LASTS 2 ROUNDS WITH NORFOLK Continued from page 1 as soon as he found out who the AFLO reporter was. The Fight No Joke However the fight itself was no joke to Grant, whose white silk trunks were wet with perspiration after the first round. Norfolk wore his usual burgundy over his right knee and purple silk trunks. As the bell sounded, a black streak swept across the ring and handed a sharp tap on Norfolk's face. It took the audience by surprise and Norfolk too, who was busy for the next two minutes dodging Grant's blows when showered on him in all directions. Norfolk surprised covered, and Grant finding no opening delivered a responding snack on Norfolk's knives. The crowd hated Norfolk and Norfolk failed to his job. As he soiled in a right uppercut caught Grant on the elbow and the rest of the fight Norfolk nursed his injured knuckles. Grant carried the light to Norfolk in the hope of getting the Kid rat-tat. Instead as the first surprise wore on, Norfolk got in his dandy mighting. A murderous left hand that shot to only six feet before he went down for the count of nine. His body was willing, and he sat inside Norfolk again, only to receive again that crushing short job to the jaw. Grant was on the floor as the round ended, the referee over him count- Last Round There wasn't much to the last round. Norfolk said to weigh 182 and a 29 pound advantage over his opponent and this with the champion's experience, made the battle oopsided. He rushed Norfolk again as the round began, dodging and darting the fists showed at him in directions. With the round half gone, Grant ran into his left to the head and went down on the curves. He was able to rise at the count of ten but the out was ever. Calls Grant Game "A game kid, was Norfolk's comment in his dressing room after the fray, where Hewlett was trying to bring case to the painful hand." He brought case to the first round. Norfolk added. "Norfolk's a better man," was Grant's only observation as he tried to shake the coloured out of his brain in a dressing room next to Norfolk's. "I want to meet him again later and I will make a better showing." Politican Asks If Party "mit Suicide" Mr. Milliardlah, "has pledged itself for forty years to right the wrong of disfranchisement in the South, but it hasn't ever cut down the Democratic representation in Congress and in the Electoral College, as commended by the Constitution." "The Negroes," asserts Mr. Milliardlah, "will not follow the Republican Party in blind faith as their lathers have done and if they are going to get anything out of the system, they refuse, that they must do through their own efforts. Their own efforts lead them to take the obvious way, that is, to cross the border line to the North where there is plenty of work, their wages paid in good cash, and very little lynching or bad treatment to worry about."

What is believed to be the most elaborate and expensive colored public school building program ever undertaken by any far southern community is now nearing completion in this city. It embraces four magnificent new grammar schools, seating 800 to 1,000 each, and a high school seating 1,500, the five erected at a cost to date of $1,000,000, with more yet to be spent on finishing touches. These new schools are part of a general school building program involving a total of $3,800,000 and are in every sense equal to the best the city is erecting, representing the last work in construction and equipment. In addition to all the usual modern facilities, each is provided also with medical and dental clinics, where the pupils have the services of physician, dentist and nurse. The high school, which is named for Booker T. Washington, will carry the regular academic curriculum and in addition will provide training in wood work, carpentry, drawing, auto mechanics, sheet metal plaster and cement work, tailoring, pressing, sewing, cooking, child care, and all-round training. The purpose is to give to the pupils all-round training for life and fit them for useful and recreational employment immediately on graduation. A director of vocational guidance helps further to this end by personal conferences, lectures, bulletins and luntern slides. Louis Hackerman 1731-33 Penna, Ave. Opp. Lafayette Mkt.

Conference, While Bishop Sits Mum CHURCH IS IN FERMENT Pastors and Members Take Sides for and Against Silence of Their Leader Pine Bluff, Ark., Jan. 10.—The whole Southwest is in an uprising because masked klansman entered an A. M. D. Conference presided over by Bishop I. N. Ross of Washington, D. C., recently, a man masked out again while the prelate sat silent and still. P. The occasion was the recent meeting of the Central Arkansas Conference, which met at St. Johns A. M. E. E. Church, Re. G. T. Simms, pastor. It was a preliminary conference which a local woman presided. In the midst of the services, the klansmen marched down the aisle with a $50 contribution for the church and the Bishop Ross church and the silently. The conference program was carried thru, the Klansmen's visit being entirely ignored. Nor did Bishop Ross refer to it when he arose to speak subsequently according to the official report. Pastors Support Bishop A report signed by Rev. G. H. Jones of Tina Bluff; W. T. Poole Sheril, W. H. J. Powell, Clarendon, E. C. Foreman, Furdidge, V. M. Townsend, South Hot Springs, Green, present Shorter College, Johns Hopkins, J. X. Campbell, Newport, all presiding edders, and the following pastors: J. M. H. Michelle, Goe Banks, A. G. Gillard, D. S. Bowens and S. K. Jones, refers to Bishop Ross as a "courageous under the cloak" that trust interest the people were guarded by the Bishop's silence. Others Condemn Bishop An editorial in the St. Louis Argus accused the pastor and bishop of accepting "Blood Money from the Klan," condemned the Bishop for not stating publicly his disapproval of the Klan's action, adding that "he knew or should have known" the moral effect it would have had on the community. According to the Argus, pastor Simms recently denounced the Nazi organization and what he called during firefightings the alleged Elaine rioters. Some of the members of the church are reported in arms against the pastor, and alarming for his dismissal. Blsbon Rosa Not Outspoken The attitude of "Bishop Ross in falling to speak out against the Klan visit is said to be in keeping with his action at the recent meeting of the A. M. E. Bishops' councils. Bishop Ross is the only one who is learned, was one of those who opposed a paragraph in the "Bishop's Address to the Country" condemning the mob violence of the Ku Klux Klan in many parts of the country. Bishop Ross's objection was based on the Klan's Bishop's address to the country was not made public, and of course contained no anti-Ku Klux Klan paragraph. CHOIR AIDS 400 The chair of Sharp Street Memorial Church entertained 400 porchchildren at the New Year's Treat. In giving out tickets they came across a poor worthy family of father, mother and six children. They returned the next day and supplied them with food, clothing and fuel. Mr. Grant Biddle is president: Mrs. M. Hubert, secretary: Mrs. Emma Dawns, treasurer: Mrs. Annie H. Lee, directress. The fourth Quarterly meeting of Whatcoat M. E. Church was held Wednesday. The pastor reported church renovated at a cost of $2,000. The membership is largely increased. Rev. R. F. Coates, the pastor, has been very ill, but is much improved. The congregation presented Mrs. R. F. Coates a $25 purse for Christmas. The house of Rev. M. H. L. Davis, 427 Asquith street, was mysteriously entered Friday morning, and his brief case in which he carries all church money and important papers, was stolen. Later it was found by little children in a lavatory at 426 Short street. Davis left his case the sofa. It contained a pocket book with some stamps, receipts of the church, cheques, a diary of the Old Folks' Home, $5 in money and many other papers of value to the owner.

Church, may have been justified by keeping silent when the Ku Klux Klan marched into his Central Arkansas Conference the other day with a $50 contribution for the Church, but he will have a hard time proving it. He has probably gained the estimation of the Klan. 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 to the heavens fall. The Negro church in the South needs no moral cowards. Its pastors and bishops must be heroes and martyrs. For the good of the church; Bishop Ross should be transferred to some other section where courage at the risk of personal safety is not an episcopal requisite.

City Ministers File Anti-Segregation Petition with Mayor City Ministers File Anti-Segregation Petition with Mayor Jackson Hon. Howard W. Jackson, Mayor of Baltimore City, City Hall, Baltimore, Md. and Baltimore, Md. It is an historic and popularly impressed fact, that in your election to the Mayoralty of Baltimore more people become part of the city, than in any other Mayoralty election in the history of this municipality. With this splendid evidence of the growth of Baltimore, co-operation, and unity still fresh in the minds of all our people, it would be nothing short of a public calamity to prevent such growth, which brought to birth the inquisitive idea of "seagrass," which we had hoped, had been finally settled. As the ministers of Jesus Christ's Catholic communities, at work among the people of African descent, in this city, we appear before you to solicit your active and willing participation in the art of maritime and bittersweet, which must certainly erase if those who are "strong" persist in the mischievous business of "seagrassing" any portion of the Gulf. 1st. We are all one Community. All races of men make up the community. They in common, share the same responsibilities, put the same effort to the same call to arms in defense of our common country. It is an American for any portion of the one community, who happen to be in leadership, concern for the one community of the full share in all that concerns that one household. Since the community is ONE, such have neither the legal or moral right to place a badge of inferiority on any portion or section of our culture. In the language of the law beloved Cardinal Thomas, "Force and harmony can never exist where there is unjust discrimination, and what the members of every community must constantly strive for is justice."2nd Amendment to a Christian law community. The fundamental rule and law of the Christian Religion is "Brotherly Love." All who know Christ are bound to practice love, one toward another, as though using as much of their life as possible in their Christian community permits the existence, in it for a law, of the "segregation" idea, thereby renounces, altogether, its opportunity to influence for its Lord and Master, the members of that race, for they are members of the constraining love of Jesus Christ. We ardently pray our Heavenly Father, that we may be spared the necessity of mourning our people, and of taking the necessary steps to increase the highest courts against this message to the realization of the kind of Brotherhood taught us is the first words of the Lord's Prayer, "Our Father, who art in Heaven," because we believe we have a Mayor who is both kindly and Christian, that we have come hither, as the spiritual leaders of the colored people of this city, to indicate our minds with respect to so important a matter, that we are so fortunate to be found, we are content to leave the matter with your all the white, praying that He who rules in your heart will give you grace to take a first trial and a final justice for all men, "respectless of race, richness or poverty."

THE CHURCH DEMOCRATS BLAMED FOR SEGREGATION AGITATION Ministers Still Unconvinced That City Administration Is Behind Move of the Real Estate Board UNION IS RE-ORGANIZED Interdenominational Ministers Body is Revived in Order to Be On Guard The Democratic administration in the City Hall is being blamed for the agitation to revive the segregation law in Baltimore. Altho there has been no official statement of the mayor or other city officials on the proposal of the Real Estate Board to set aside separate sections of the city for colored and white, ministers who talked with Mayor Jackson Saturday, are in lined to hold them responsible for the segregation agitation. Forty ministers from all denominations headed by Rev. C. H. Steptheat and Rev. W. W. Allen, called on the mayor Saturday and lied their protest against segregation in any form. The mayor accepted the petition, declared would peruse it in his leisure. He informed the delegation that no measure had been passed by the city council, none had been proposed, and that the mayor had just been told the mayor also declared he would consider the proposition of the Real Estate Board to appoint a committee of white and colored people to discuss segregation. No Compromise Leaving the City Hall, ministers declined the offer of Frank J. L. Hudson, white attorney for the Madison avenue Improvement Association to have colored and white agree on certain restricted parts of the city. Rev. E. F. Tregg declared the city to be in compliance in any form. Every Negro in Baltimore is willing to spill every drop of his blood if necessary." Special Meeting Held Ministers of the city heard the report of the committee sent to the city Hall at an interdenominational meeting at Union Baptist Church at noon Monday. "If Mayor Jackson approves a segregation ordinance," Rev. W. J. Winston, pastor of Wayland Baptist church declared, then the joint Negroes in the city were the decision are to blame. The mayor is not fair if he favors segregation." Rev. J. A. Callis also scored the Democrats when he declared, "When this law came up before we had representatives in the City Council. We have none now. Some of you did it, you who voted the Democratic ticket." The petition left with the mayor who signed by the following min- Revs. C, H. Steptan, P. J. Jordan, Junius Gray, A. J.

Ebb, Secretary Call VErnon 6016 THE A ON ON Marriages, B Phone Notice SEGREGATION OPPOSITION UNANIMOUS The AFRO asked a number of people today whether they approved the proposed revival of a segregation law in Baltimore; what they think of Judge Heulser, who declares he believes in segregation; and whether they think a segregation law can be passed. This is what they say: W. Norman Bishop, attorney, 1167 Drudid Hill avenue—race segregation is not necessary. It is a violation of the 14th amendment. Toy S. Bond, attorney, 217 Court Street—I do not criticize the law. A segregation law cannot be abolished. Louis Jagg, Jr., attorney, 14 E. Pleasant street—I do not favor segregation. I think Judge Heulser is off, the segregation law is unconstitutional and violates the law. Josiah Henry, attorney, 14 E. Pleasant street—Judge Heusler went out of his way a little to make that pro-segregation statement. If it were to become a law, it would create hard feelings among the people who aspire to live in Guilford or University Parkway, they only wish to live comfortably. I do not think a segregation law can be passed. Wm. C. McCard, attorney, 14 E. Pleasant street—Absolutely not. I do not favor it. Judge Heusler is entirely mistaken, for it is a violation of the 14th amendment. The law does not impose any city ordinance, but it can be broken, as it is a direct amendment of the 14th Amendment. Geo. L. Pendleton, attorney, 14 E. Pleasant street—Judge Heusler overstepped himself in his statement. A segregation law can be passed, but it will not be legal. Wm. L. Pitzgerald, attorney, 14 E. Pleasant street—An opposed to segregation Judge Heusler went beyond his boards. Mr. Samuel L. Burton, clothier, 121414 Pennsylvania avenue—I oppose segregation. It was a thoughtless statement of Judge Heusler's. It is very unfair to as Harry O. Wilson, banker, 417 W. Franklin street—I do not favor segregation. It would be detrimental to white as well as colored, as property in a mixed neighborhood always sells for more. Judge Heusler's statement was entirely necessary. I do not think a law will be passed. The administration could allow it to pass it. The G. W. G. Co. Metropolitan street—I oppose segregation. Judge Heusler's statement was far from being wise. Interest has begun to heighten in the forthcoming election of four ministerial and four lay delegates from the Washington M. E. Conference to the next general conference of the denomination. The conference will take place at the exhition of the conference, which will be held at Ames Memorial M. E. Church, the middle of March. Dr. Ernest Lyon will be the entertaining pastor. Among those mentioned for ministerial delegates are: Rev. Dr. Lyon, Dr. W. A. C. Hughes, director of Negro work in the M. E. Church; Dr. Ernest S. S. Williams, Dr. J. Hawkins, Professor of Theological Seminary Atlanta; Rev. Dr. A. J. Michel, Dr. M. J. Nayloh, Rev. W. H. Dean, Rev. J. S. Carroll and Rev. Charles S. Briggs. It is almost a forgone conclusion that Dr. L. Garland Penn will add another term to his list of being a key representative of the conference. George T. Jegson and Attorney McLaren both of Washington State have been involved. Doubie H. Mills are among those mentioned from this city. Miss M Edith Cooper, who has been elected twice, is not aspirant this time. The Kezey Kat Klub gave an informal at the home of their treasure, Miss Irene Roye, 1562 McCulloch street.

HILL Maryland Congressman Ridicules Georgia Election in Which I Out of 44 Persons Vote DISFRANCHISEMENT SCORED Georgia Member Declares "Every Intelligent Negro in Georgia Can Vote." By MORRIS BROWN. (Washington (Chrispondeh)) Washington, the course of debate on the enforcement of the prohibition laws in reply to a speech on "The Majesty of the Law and National Sobriety", made by Representative William D Upshaw of the Fifth Congressional District of Georgia, in which the city of Atlanta is situated. Representative Hillary land, charged that the Georgia congressman sits in the House of Representatives in direct violation of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution. Upshaw Attacks Hill In his speech on last Thursday, Mr. Upshaw attacked Representative Hill as a nullification of the Constitution for seizing a modification of existing prohibition laws and charged the Maryland Congressman with attempting to wave the bloody shirt and bring back the dissensions of the Civil War. In his reply on yesterday, Mr. Hill made the point that Upshaw "speaks in political hypocrisy as one who sits by direct violation of the "Constitution," and called the gentleman from Georgia "a suffrage nullificationist." However, in the course of his remarks, Mr. Hill made it plain that he intended no attack upon the suffrage laws of the South. He asserted that "apparently, the Nation has agreed to the nullification of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, and as far as we know, the fourth and fifteenth amendment has ever been enforced within the last ten years except in the State of Maryland." 1 Out of 44 Voted He called attention to the fact that no mention is made in the Congressional Directory of 1916, 1918 and 1920, of the number of people who voted in the election for the gentleman from Georgia. He added, however, that the returns for the last election show that 7,000 people voted out of a population of 308,384 or 1 out of every 44 persons; whereas in the election of practically every member of the House from a northern state in western state, 7 out of every 5 voted. Mr. Hill then cited the Georgia election laws and made the follow-the comment upon then: Now, in Georgia a man must first have paid all taxes that may have been required of him since the adoption of the constitution of Georgia in 1877, which he was able to pay conveniently. It is a matter of discretion whether he could afford to pay, to this, because he must have other qualifications; not only must he have paid taxes but he must be a member of a privileged class which we thought we had abolished in this country when we passed the Constitution of the United States, because paragraph 1 says not only must he have paid his taxes but he must possess in his papers prescribed in paragraphs 2 and 3 of this section, certain added qualifications thereafter stated. Grandfather Clause "Here is what you have got to be in order to vote in Georgia; You have got to belong to one of these five classes: 'I. All persons who have honorably served in the land or naval forces of the United States in the Revolutionary War." "Or in the War of 1812. "Or in the War with Mexico. "Or in any war with the Indians. "Or who honorably served in the land or naval forces of the Confederate State. "Or of the State of Georgia in the War between the States." "Now, gentlemen, here is the famous—I will not this is a great, great, great-grandfather clause. It goes back to it was passed in 1908. All persons lawfully descends from those embraced in the classes enumerated in the subdivision next above." "There is your grandfather clause. That grandfather clause is absolutely illegal. Nobody has ever tried to upset it in Georgia, because, as I have said, the people of the United States apparently are acquiescent in the situation." Mr Hilliard had the state he was inculcating to let the states fix their own suffrage matters but voiced his protest against representation on "2.75 suffrage" and refusal to permit the North "2.75 beverage." Unshaw's Election Illegal After reviewing several cases, in which there had been convictions for violation of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, Mr. Hill concluded the first portion of his argument to prove that Mr. Upshaw sits in the House of Representatives in direct violation of the Constitution of the United States as follows: "I know that to the gentleman from Georgia he is one law only, and that is the Volsted Act; but in the worship for that great Mohammedan piece of legislation—Al-Alih, Volsted is Volsted—I suggest that the gentleman from Georgia when he says 'Alah is Allah, and at noon goes down upon his prayer rug to the Volsted Act. will not forget that there are laws to enforce the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments." Mr. Upshaw had said there were no such laws. Upshaw finally challenged Hill to prove that any intelligent Negro in Georgia was deprived of the right to vote.

HENRYTON HOSPITAL SHOULD BE FILLED Tubercular Patients Should Not Wait Until Disease Is In Last Stages, Says Father Wall ROOMS FOR 92 PATIENTS Many Are Getting Open Air Treatment and Good Food Needed to Bring Back Health To the Editor: In your issue of January 4th, the following item appears: "No appropriation was made for the Honeyton Hospital, as there are still accommodations there." Since the State of Maryland opened this sanitarium for the treatment of its colored citizens suffering from tuberculosis, I have been ministering to the Spiritual needs of the Catholic patients. I have been engaged in the sap work in the institutions of other states, but I have never soap any institution in caring for tubercular pitting, which exceeds the Henryian Sanitarium in construction and construction. construction and equipment. The Sanitarium is built on a bill overlooking the Parapasco River, and a fine view of the surrounding country is lost from its porches. The elevation is sufficient to put it out of reach of the river's misses and the air is clear and invigorating. The words are cozy and airy, and there are alleys that lead to the best places who predict quiet and private. There are porches on each side of the words, so that the patients can enjoy sunshine all day. The hospital is in charge of Dr. Siegel, the Superintendent, who has had wide experience in the treatment of this disease and he is ably assisted by trained nurses, under the management of the staff of stent physicians, orderlies or, are always at hand to attend to all the wants of the patients. What strikes one particularly at the sanitarium is the uniform kindness and attention of the whole staff to the patients and the contentment and satisfaction for the treatment they receive which is the universal expression of the patients. Now in view of all this, why "are there still accommodations there?" At present, there are accommodations for 32 patients. There are not half that number in the institution. Surely there are enough sufferers of this dread disease among the colored people of this State to fill this sanitarium many times. Why do the people refuse to grasp such a chance for good care and good treatment? Why do people happen it is the general distrust of a public institution. Perhaps they think the sanitarium is in the hands of politicians who neither know how to care for the sick nor are interested in th' welfare. My only answer is I have never seen any evidence of politics; but I have seen every evidence of zeal and solicitude on the part of doctors, nurses and attendants to aid and sick. From my observation, I heartily recommend this institution and have nothing but praise for its able managers and I urge all the colored people of the State, both Catholics and Protestants, to avail themselves of its facilities. Many put off going all the disease is too far gone and the time or ability to treat it is taken in time, the care and treatment given here will cure them. Rev. GKO, W. WALL, S. J.

The rate-speed duplicator, which has been out of commission for some time, has been put into working trim. Teachers find it very useful for a great deal of supplementary work. Subscriptions for four school magazines are paid for out of the school treasury. They are constantly used by the teachers, who get from them many valuable hints in methods and management. The four publications are The Pathfinder, Primary Methods, Popular Educator, and Normal Instructor. The two seventh grade classes, under the direction of their teachers, Mr. Gross and Mr. Nickens, are preparing a field trip to give students a month. The children are enthusiastic over the project and have voted on several subjects. The winning subject will be decided upon early this week. Training School Stratagain and Mount streets, Miss M. Edith Cooper, acting principal; Dr. Hugh M. Brickhead, pastor of Ennamuel Protestant Episcopal Church, was the speaker at assembly on Monday, January 7th. His subject was "The Formation of Character." He said: "You have a larger responsibility than that of any white teacher I have. You have work to do; a more rumpled sheet to smooth out and should you fail, it were better for you that a millstone were hung hung about your neck and you were drowned in the depths of the sea." "Character is a fortress so strong, safe and impregnable that it can never be taken save by a betrayal on the part of the fall" on the inside. "We are not allowed to succeed necessarily; that is, as we name wealth, and other possessions. We are alive for character. We cannot separate knowledge and character.

"Papers Misquoted" Says Judge Heuisler Claiming that he had been grossly misquoted and misrepresented by statements in the daily press purporting to have been a part of his comment when handling down a decision in the recent zoning ordinance, Judge Heisler told Howard Payne, local attorney and an WPD lawyer. Wednesday that he had made no statement at any time in any way endorsing segregation of the Negro race. applied to questions of property where the police power to regulate matters in interest of the welfare of the people were concerned. In this matter the press has grossly misquoted me." Judge Heisler added that his interest in the colored people of this community has been demonstrated on many occasions and that he had never entertained in his mind any idea of segregating any group on "In my comment handing down the decision," said Judge Housler, "I did not include segregation.

He was finally trapped, however, by William Davis, a Negro agent, working out of Washington, was sent on a mission here.

Hawkins sequence followed his conviction of manslaughter two weeks ago in which he committed the killing but pleaded self-defense. He is alleged to have mortally wounded his wife following an altercation over another man and after moving her body down in the cellar, covered it with boards and made his escape. He was later arrested in Portland, Mo., after he had shipped as a sailor to several foreign countries. The state asked a first-degree murder verdict.

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. This money comes from valuable oil wells found on land allotted to them by the U. S. Government. 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. Perhaps, however, the most pleasing phase of the whole matter has been the cases like the above, where these very people have shown that love and the spirit of humanity have not been frozen out of their hearts. 4 NEW TYPE OF LEADER Roland Hayes, that new man of the musical world, of the most powerful benefi- present decade.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. I can no longer consider you as a friend, said the parrot, a follower who with the same breath blows not MORRIS—A man who talks for both sides is not to be trusted.

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.

PRIZE WINNER My little daughter, May, age 5, was sitting in my lap the other night. I was talking to a friend about New Year's eve. I said: "Suppose Gabriel should took his horn, too, on New Year's eve." She said: "Who is Gabriel, mamma, the garbage man?" My little cousin, age three and one-half years, said to an acquaintance of mine: "Why didn't you come to see me as you said you would?" He said: "I did come but you wasn't home." "Oh," she said, "I guess my mother came to the show that day." He said: "What day did your mamma take you to the show?" She said: "What ever day you came that's the day I wout."

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. After the soaking they should be rinsed in fresh water and put on to cook in cold water—Mrs. T. A. Nelson.

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.

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. "But you believe in law and order, don't you?" the Wandering Jew asked as he folded up his newspaper and settled down to the discussion. " Sure, I believe in the law. I was in the State Legislature myself for over two years. But when you're dealing with amarchists, the law doesn't count a playmate. They brought you a lawyer, he might not to recognize them," responded the angular one, as he briskly struck a match. "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.

"That's just why I wanted that one, that one because, before believing what I have in mind, I'm sorry you did not proclaim that belief in your State Legislature. I'm sorry you did not proclaim that definition is really needed right now. Last year the National Congress tried, in an appropriate manner, to unincorporate this country—right in place where you doubtless reside. They tried to make a law to prevent some anarchists in this country from lynching American citizens—from executing them when out trialized, from any recourse to court order— "That's quite different," interjected the meerc萨姆's owner, "if you only knew—" "Different! There's the difference." returned the Wandering Jow. You got to walk down home and make a worsening list of those anarchists, and it help you prosecute them in a legal way. And if you don't feel like doing that, you help me to legislate against them, and you'll be able to sleep better," shapped the Jow. "Who's that?" asked the owner of the meerc萨姆, in a suspecting tone.

Jackson Wesley Varnell, the Shaveport correspondent of the Page, makes a trip to his home in San Antonio, Texas, during the holiday week each year. This year, as for the past two, he did a lot of visiting with show folks, enroute. The result of his observations is that present taking arrangements for the Texas houses are, to use his words, "all bailed up," and that there is an excellent possibility for ten weeks of consecutive time available with a maximum of eight dollars per week for transportation, if some intelligent showman will take up the project. In Houston, Wesley caught the "Mary Mack Mack Makers" with Billy Mack, his wife Mary, the reading lady who sent the Page a picture of her nine week's old baby, Jesse Burnette, Tillie Matthews, Emune Washington, Wash. State University, Billy L. G. Tohan, Wille Edwards, Earl Humphrey and Mr. Spriggs are in the company. Varnell provides a very complete review of the show that accords the company with being a great draw. They played to S. R. O. He further says that it is an unusually identical combination. Space obliges the elimination of the details, the bulk and the mask does not understory resorting to some suggestive matter that is obviously detrimental to both the show and the audience by a cast that can only too readily get results without this degradation. "The show jumped to Galveston from Houston, and Wesley went with Mac Wilson jumped in from Beaumont to follow the "Merry Makers." in Gatveston, he encountered the A. Gaines Varieties and rode them into San Antonio. The A. Gaines show, with Mose Justin, Cherokee Thompson, Carrie Williams, James Madison, Miss Madison, John Brown, Edna Brown, Roca Bob and Helen Wilson, was reviewed at the Bellinger school in San Antonio. The show reported the score made in SuperSport some weeks since by registering a 25 per cent. Luke Scott, the house manager, leaves the first of the year to become manager of the colored gallery of the Empire theater in San Antonio. Mrs. Scott is the treasurer at the Bellinger. Gene Wilson, pianist; S. Sneerill, tuber; Fulton Alexander, drummer, and Wayman Jackson, stage manager. While there he met the Williams Company, just prior to their leaving for Austin. The show for this show, for the improving Gaines company, for the improving Taylor's "Watermelon Girls" a show that was originally booked in, were all on display one time. This exhibition of confused booking, and for the retention of the lobby of performers and shows very amply justifies the complaints that have been made by the nets playing south. This is one or rather two matters that the T. O. B. A. meeting should give consideration. At Cuero, Texas, Varnell visited the Ross Carnival company, going into Houston again that night and taking Jack Thomas as his guest. Jack is one of the Ed Lee "People Belts" Co.

So don't blame him if he over ate or something else. He has the "down As for ourselves, we had some real Christmas. Aude from the good cheek that the profession swamped us with in letters, in letters, in letters, and been a friend of years, took the Page and his wife to his beautiful home at Mariners Harbor on Staten Island, far from the turbulent day and most of the evening with his cutenure wife, and a pair of the most charming little daughters it has been our pleasure to meet. The young man it would have been a treat to anyone to have enjoyed their enjoyment of the good things that Santa Claus had with gifts with rests of Lapland, dolls, games, books and everything. With Mrs. Chestnut's traditional manner, it was a great day. The real big pleasure of the week was catering to the audience of the Lincoln Theatre, we were with the vaudeville hit that included Cook and Smith, and Doc Dink and Davis was packing the house not supposed to be broke this week. Tim Moore and his wife, Gertie, certainly know how to put on a show that gets laughs, provides pleasing entertainment without despairing from detention. The loss of some girls kept Tim on the jump to keep his show up to its normal standart, but he did it. Fred Durrah and his wife, Jack Foster, Earnest Shorty Brown, Brooke Pet Jenkins, Jesse Cowan, Willie Singleton, Myrtle Brooks, and Mr. and Mrs. Moore make up the show. Little Miss Dinks, of the Doc Dinks and Davis set doubled over, and Tim greatly appreciated her willingness to thus do double work in a house that requires four shows per day. Dinks, our last is to you. No money, no money, no money. Of a friend this way, even for money. Then Charlie Thorpe and his Musician friends gave us some joy with their trip to Lincoln Hospital, but that was a story, not a story.

Exolyn Preer Heads Cast of Picture of Negro Life Coming to Douglas Next Week Moviegoers who have become jaded on picture dramas dealing with with the life of the other race, will get a week's rest beginning next Monday when T. S. Stribbling's "Birthright," a screen version of his novel of the same title, dealing with Negro life in the South comes to the Douglass Theatre for a week's sojourn. The picture was made by the Oscar Micheaux motion picture company, is in ten reels and features an Al Nigro cast, headed by lovely Evelyn Preer, the race's leading actress, supported in the principal leads by J. Homer Tutt, S. Tutt Whitney and Lawrence Chewitt. The story of "Birthright" in part follows: Peter Siner, colored, a graduate of Harvard, on reaching Cairo on his way South, with plans to establish a school for enrolled youth, is told to get out of the Pullman and take the Jim Crow car for the balance of the journey. On the platform, he meets "Tump Pack," a rough type of Negro, wearing a Distinguished Service who is first returning from overseas. On arriving at their home in the Tennessee Territory, Tom is accorded welcome in the midst of which he is arrested by Constable Dawson Bobbs and thrown in jail on a four-year-old charge of shooter or gravy. purchase the land for the school after a local lodge had assisted him by donating $100 the whites barring Negroes off that particular plot of land, the beating adds to Siner's humiliation. How Siner finally compares his enemies and wins the girl he loves is said to form the most thrilling climax of any race movie ever produced.

COLUMBIA STREET Photo above shows the Dunbar home at Dayton, Ohio, and the mother of the poet, Matilda Dunbar, as she looks today. With tears running down her checks, Mrs. Dunbar thanked some 500 delegates and visitors who under the auspices of the Alphabets of the Poet Society, nearly two hundred, there last week, she said, had so many friends of her son visited her. The Fraternity pledged itself to raise funds in a countrywide envoy to pay the $2,200 mortgage on the poet's home. A total of $3,600 will be asked for in order to get sufficient funds to make some needed improvements in the dwellings. G. L. Brown, of Atlanta, has been named chairman of the Dunbar Home Fund, and Aaron M. Babone,* of Poro College, treasurer. Plans have been suggested to enable every school child to save a penny for the saving of the poet's home as a national shrine. Under Dunbar's will, the home was left her life.

After complimenting the "Billboard" for its stand in their interests, he asks that efforts to continue the agrification for colored carnival will be made, for officials can continue, for otherwise he asks "What will become of the colored concessioners who have done better the past season than ever before, due to your efforts in our benait. With Michaels or other colored carnivals we can always work. Truxton, Tassley, Sunsbury, Suffolk, Durham, Smithfield and other tairs gave us a great chance, but where a white carnival worked, out of which with high prices we privilege. Now that we have and a taste of what is possible with a fair break, we don't want to loss it. You have done wonders for us." Comment—The Page will continue in its efforts to obtain a fair snow for all concessioners who merit a chance. There is no reason why you should not work at colored tails with either white or colored carnival, but you are entitled to a privilege price that is precisely the same as is noted to others in your line. Clean tails, clean carnival, and clean concessions, either white or black, is what we ask, and all we can ask. We want Michaels and any other colored carnival to have an equal chance on the dates with the others. May this year mark another advance in the field.

From reports they are content with daily rides in their motor car as a winter activity. Margaret Marie Avery, dramatic critic for the Albany Times-Upton call, wrote that "the whole of a working good show," and going into detail has much to say of the colored compingent which is made up of Sonny Thompson's Band. On December 21, at 11 a.m., the Lincoln Theater of Louisville, entertained the children of the city with a free performance as the Christmas house and staff to the community. Oliss Hamah, the Cuban contortionist and dragonian, has been busy on split week engagements in central Illinois towns. Larry Hamah credit him with a successful time. EI.

A board orchestra with entertainers, with occasional added attractions from New York and Chicago is the announced policy. J. H. Dixon, the old pit showman, put up for the winter at Blairsville, N.C., and enjoyed the play for the new season, but is inclined to line up with a colored carnival company if a good one is in prospect. He is an experienced showman with as nice outfits as he can, and his own with all competition.

Washington established in Alabama, has for some time maintained very efficient dramatic department that has contributed much toward the race development in the theater. Appreciation for the drama and the importance of the theater in civilized life. On December 31, the Dramatic Club, under the stage direction of Charles Winter Wood, and with the immediate supervision of Mrs. I. I. Moton, presented "The Fool." The occasion was the first time that Arthur Channing Pollock, the writer, and Schwyn and company who own the rights, have ever permitted an amateur presentation of the piece. Mr. Pollock wired a greeting to the company as a testimony of his interest. More than three thousand persons witnessed the performances. These included students, faculty members and staff from the Veterans' Hospital nearby and some local curtains. Charles Winter| Wood, nationally known as a dramatic reader, rose to hitherto unknown heights in his interpretation of the part of Daniel Gilchrist, a role that was particularly suited to his abilities. He was very capable supported by a well-selected east, and the close of each act brought heavy appause. The fare-reaching effect of this success upon a student body that originated in every state in the canon, and at a time when Negro artists are just beginning to present the commercial drama in the South can not be conjectured.

DOUGLAS ORCHESTRA|NEW RAYO MANAGER DOUGLAS ORCHESTRA|NEW RAYO MANAGER New York — The Douglass Theatre, the largest film house caturing to a colored puttymouth, has established a policy that can be very strongly recommended to the other film houses. Manager Murphy has installed a really good orchestra, and the folks in the pit under the direction of Harry W. Stout, who plays lead violin, receive as much applause every night, as do the pictures. Their overtures are especially well received. We have long wondered why more of our picture theaters did not feature a good orchestra. Stout's orchestra with its instrumentation is as follows: Mrs. Maude White, pianist; James Holland, drum; James Drayton, bass drum; Clorence Welch, cello; Walter Robinson, trombone; Enchw W. Blake, cornet; Mrs. Hallb. Anderson, organ; and Harry Stout, violinist. It is an unusually fine combination. Mrs. Anderson will be remembered as one of the leading musicians of the race.

BLACK SOX GET NEW PLAYERS Will Decide Probably on 80-Game Schedule for Leaguers This Season Practically an entire new team will greet baseball fans at Maryland-Park this spring when the Black Sox open their season Chap斯 Spedden, manager of the Sox told the AFPO today that he has gotten together a team that will put a mind of baseball such as the fans have never seen. New Manager Won't Play Right off the bat, Pete Hill, captain of Rube Foster's American Glants for ten years will be manager. Last year Pete had charge of a National League Club in Milwaukee. His authority over the players will be absolute, according to Mr. Spedden, and Pete can hire and at will win the champions Baltimore winning club. Hill will not play, but direct his team from the bench. The new manager has signed Connie Day, who played 2nd base for the A. B. C. Club of Indianapolis. Day is said to be the best second baseman in the game today, but none. Third baseman Blackman, who also played with the A. B. C. Club of Indianapolis, on first base will be Wilson, who last year played with the Birmingham, Black Barons. In the outfield will be Wade Johnson, Halloway, formerly of the Detroit Stars, and Homerum Wilson, who was with the Sox last year. Another catcher and three pitchers have also come to terms but their contracts have not yet reached manners. Those men are now playing ball in the Pacific Coast Winter League. THE LINE UP: As far as can be seen now the line-up on opening day will be: Wilson=rightfield. Holloway=centerfield. Johnson=leftfield. Wilson=first base. Day=second base. Lindsay=short stop. Blackmon=third base. Rolle=catcher. Solo=sweeper. Britt=pitcher. Carr=pitcher. All Colored Employees One of the innovators at the park next season, which will be appreciated by the fans is that the entire working force from ticket sellers to umple will be colored. This will be the first time in the history of the city and the move is bound to meet with favor. Mr. Spedden is now on the lookout for another colored umple to work with Charley and he will be with the Sox again this year having turned down several flattering offers to go with Rube Foster's National League. Either this week or next, bosses of the various Eastern League teams, including Colonel Strothers, of Harrington, and Ben Taylor, of the Washington Potomnes, recently admitted to the league, will meet in Philadelphia and adopt the new schedule. The outlook is that each of the eight clubs will play ten games with the other, making an eighty game schedule. Last year each club played only fifty games. The schedule will probably be ready for publication early in February. It is known that the entrance of Washington and Harrington into the League this year, along with Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Atlantic City, Brooklyn and the Cuban-bill will engage intense play. The Ben Taylor franly admitted that he was unwilling to go on his ball club if he could not get into the league. Ben has the backing of Proprelier Thompson of the Roadside Hotel and will undoubtedly put a frazzling good team on the map to represent the capitol city. Baseball Makes Great Strides Baseball has made great strides in Baltimore, and anyone who thinks differently, needs only talk with Charlie Spadden. Six years ago, he says, when it took the Sox off the lot and put them in an enclosed park down at Westport, we were doing well, had 500 paid admission on Sunday at 15 cents each. Last season there were some days when we had 10,000 paid admissions and fans wore willing to pay 65 cents to see the good baseball we staged there. "Since we have been able to get this far in six years, I have the idea in the next decade we will be having every day baseball in the Eastern Colored League just as they have in the American and National Leagues. I am willing to be on that, going to try out having baseball games on two days of each week, probably Saturday in addition to Sunday. If it takes well we will continue the rest of the season. "Last fall over 3,500 persons paid to witness the Hampton-Lincoln football game here. It shows that the city wants high class sport. We have been in touch with Howard, Hampton and Lincoln, and next year we may be able to stage two or three big college games here." Spedden responded. Asked what about the restatement of Dr. Frank Sykes following his suspension last year, Mr. Spedden declared Sykes was not suspended. "At the end of last season, Manager Elden of the Hildales was short of pitchers, due to some trouble with Nip Winters. We loaned Sykes to Hildale and he won two out of the three games he pitched, enabling Hildale to the Philadelphia Baseball Association sponsorship." Sykes has a good many more years ahead of him in organized baseball, not only because he is a wise pitcher, but because he takes care of himself. Googles Poles will not be with the Sox next year. In ability he is at the top of the list of shortstops, with speed, judgment and a good throwing arm. Poles got in with a bad crowd last year, and toward the end of the season his work fell off, 40 per cent. Lindsay, formerly, of the Richmond Glants, but who broke his leg last year playing with the Sox, will hold down the shortfield. Call VErnon 6016 CUBAN LEAGUE Standing Of Clubs Club— W. L. T. Pet.

We protect you against ACCIDENT, DEATH, and SICKNESS "Jack" Johnson Buys A Farm (Preston News Service) A number of fans have asked what would take place if Angelo Firpo, the Wild Bull of the Pampas, ever stepped into the ring with Harry Wills. Well here it is. 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. 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 freshened by his rest and a swig from a dark bottle. For the first time the referee 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. It was the first time I ever saw Wills down, and it hurt him a plenty. ROUND FIVE—Firpo had given the best he had, but it 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 pandemonium, the referee counted him out. YOUNG JEFF CLARK K. O.s DAN. EDWARDS In a four round preliminary feature at the boxing mosele club of Benny Franklin's Olympia Club, Young Jeff Clark clubbed Danny Edwards into submission after three frames of fighting. Clark weighed in at 149 pounds and armored at 145. Clark started right out on the bell tap to finish his man up and Edwards was down three times in the first round. He was nearly counted out twice in the second round, and when he voluntarily took to the mat in the third session, the referee counted him out for failure to fight. Both men are native Baltimoreans, but Edwards has been doing most of his fighting in Pennsylvania. This is Clark's third start in the squared arena and promises a good boy if given an opportunity. His interests are being looked after by Buck Robinson. In the feature bout Benny Schwartz, the southern white flyweight champion, was awarded the decision over Young Denico, Filipino flyweight champion of the U. S. Navy, after twelve rounds of the fastest fighting witnessed here in a long time. Although Denico lost he won the hearts of the crowd by his gameness, his courage, and his fighting spirit. Denico outweighed his opponent by 715 pounds and is decidedly more experienced boxer; but the Filipino did not stop on this account and waded right into his man like a whirlwind. Schwartz tried his old holding and butting tactics but Denico soon put a quietus on this by letting Schwartz have plenty of body blows and uppercuts. Denico was roundly cheered when he left the ring while Schwartz was the target for a wild gutburst of hoots and jeers.

L. Jan. 8. Jack Taylor, Omaha light heavyweight, outfought Battling McCreary of Boston in the main bout of the National A. C. show Wednesday night. The contest proved a hummer and had the fans on edge throughout. Taylor was in front in the first, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, eleventh and twelfth frames, while McCreary upheld the second fourth and fifth. The third and fourth were fairly even. Taylor forced the lighting in the initial frame, which he won by a shade. A sharp left hook was his best weapon, and he sent it home time and again with resounding force. McCeary took the seventh, and had the conqueror of Batting Skii covering up. Kiipp Upperent. McCeary continued to do the leading in the next two rounds, using a right uppercent to no little advantage. Taylor pushed from his corner at the bell to start "the sixth and handed three hard to the wind which immediately lowered on the opponent." With a roaring yelling for a knockout, Taylor went after the Bay State hammer and tong and had him holding on as the frame ended. The seventh, eighth and ninth were practically repetitions of the sixth, for Taylor went on to business in the community to send over the finishing punch. McCeary, however, would not go down, taking his medicine without a whimper. The pace began to tell on both in the tenth, but they nevertheless continued to hang away until the welcome the team gave to the fray with renewed confidence in the 11th and kept popping his left to head and wind. McCeary tried hard for a knockout in the final, but the Westerster proved too efficient. Best Kid Norfolk got the decision over Kid Norfolk in Boston. Kid Norfolk defeated Battling Skii and Jack Taylor whipped Skii also, but Jackson bounced back to tie Norfolk and McCeary or Taylor would prove a hummer. AMONG BOXERS Not being permitted to meet Joe Lohman, Western heavyweight, in the star bout of ten rounds at Grand Rounds, Mich., on New Year's afternoon, Battling Siki will fight on January 11. Tul Jackson ten rounds at Cincinnati. Encouraged by Pennsylvania's action New York colored Democraters are urging a rare member on the Batting Commission. Jack Taylor, of Omaha, Nebraska, who recently beat Battling Siki, has been boxing only four years. In that time he has beaten the world champion twice, Puryear, both in game night, and fought with Kid Norfolk, Clean Johnson and Sam Langeford, he flicker and keeps good hours. Tie Refrig, in order to keep Harry Wills off Jack Dempsey has offered a diamond studded belt for the colored heavyweight champion and is urging Godfrey and Wills to fight for it. If we were Wills we would win the belt and keep after Dempsey too. Battling Skii's manager may sue the Michigan boxing, Commissioner who said his boy is unfit to fight in that State. The case has been reopened by lawyers. Fins had already paid $14,000 in advance to see Ski perform against a white boy, when the bout was canceled. New York sport wrist harp on the fact that Wills is making a mistake by not fighting every chance he gets. Wills may be able to keep in condition by his longshoreman's job, but fans would rather see him in the ring with everybody who will fight him. Clem Johnson, of New York, and Battling Owens, of New Orleans, are matched to meet January 16, in Springfield, Ohio. Chick Suggs, bantan, defeated Harry Gordon, of New York, Friday night. But Jackson won on a foul in the sixth round of his schluded 12-round bout with Jack Taylor in Columbus, O. Monday night.

CLAIMS HE MADE JACK JOHNSON QUIT IN 8TH CLAIMS HE MADE JACK JOHNSON QUIT IN 8TH (Chicago Whip News Service) One story told in New York at the time Jack Johnson was there and for which the former plon never offered the prize was to the officer he was actually battened on and forced to quit at the end of eight rounds in a fight in the prison at Leavenworth. The fighter, who cares, and without contradiction, that he actually best Jack is Joe Boykin, a strappy low browed man and weightless over two hundred pounds. The story was told to Dunnon Runyon following John's first trip to New York, and as odd as it may seem, Johnson never attempted to deny the story. Boykin never lowered himself, and never spatially perhaps had he done so, he would have been one of the real guns of Estonia. "I just forget the fact that my opponent was Jack Johnson and went after an ordinary prisoner, and with this in my mind, I never gave fright to him. I gave Jack gave me an awful apperception, and I naturally had to think of the famous uppercut I have always heard that Jack carried. But Muried and succeeded in forgetting to associate the light with Johnson further, and to my and the spectators' surprise at the end of eight rounds Johnson was ready to quit, but I had just begun." Gets Offers Boykins has had many offers to enter the ring. They even attempted to build him up for the champion in that line. Tut Jackson, but Boykins cannot see it. He owns a farm and is unwilling to hamper his chances of getting the money by going into a game he knows to PHILA. FLASHES BEAT ATHENIANS. 37-35 In one of the fastest and hardest fought games of the season the Philadelphia Flashes emerged victorious after the historic last Wednesday night, 77-74. The ugly mood of the elements outside did not dampen the ardor of the loyal crowd of local rosters who tainted the game with their insults in one of the greatest battles of the season. Not until the last few seconds of the victory to their opponents, in the Athletics were leading until Bill Kelber was taken out on personal fouls, and then the outsiders got the ball out of the net, unmering accuracy, coming from behind an eight-point lead. They evened the score at 31 points all, and again at 45, and just a few minutes on the whistle scored the winning points. "Chippie" Taylor, brother of the famous Lincoln University "Bill" Tayman, co-founder of the team, was in the灯夜跟 with his usual catlike foot work and uncanny shifting, while Haskellier again starred for the locals.

Followers of boxing no doubt have become aware of the great strides in popularity that the colored boxer has made in the past two years. After the passing of such great colored pugilistic stars as George Dixon, Joe Gans, Waltcott, Joe Jennette, Jack Jackson and George Blackburn in the late 1990s and ahead of the press, voluces. His popularity received an additional boost when the facts of his simple domestic life began to greet out. Finding few opponents sufficient to supply him with the wherewithal to keep the wolf from the door, Wilts took up the occupation of a longshoreman and pitched freight on the Chelsea docks to put the bark account. late '90's and early part of the present century, the colored boxed drop-down menu, is a common speaking generally. True enough the start of Jack Johnson began his ascendancy about this time, culminating in his defeat of James J. Jeffries, at Reno, Nov., July 4th, to win the weight championship of the world. Johnson's Mistake This was the greatest achievement that any colored heavyweight had ever accomplished and should have stirred the dying interest in the colored boxer. But so far from accomplishing this purpose, Johnson's honor sat lightly upon him and he was soon involved in a series of disreputable escapades, which he to push the last fringe of Negro pugilists further into oblivion. Of course, no fair-minded person ever believed that Johnson was as black as the part of the press that was prejudiced against him painted him; yet there is no denying the fact that he is guilty of many of the unscavery charges that were laid against him. This effort to bring the first Negro heavyweight champion into discontent was the result of shagrin and disappointment on the part of those who fostered it that a Negro had actually become "king" by knocking a white man from the throne. In other words: Jack Falls From Grace There was method in the madness of these prejudiced individuals who sort to bring him into disgrace. The match with Jeffries was brought about after a protracted period of agitation through the country, both among the professional and the laymen which had gradually worked up into the position where it was no longer regarded as a test between two giant boxes, but a test of the superiority of the white and black races. Needless to say, the whites took the lead in regarding the matter in this latter fight. Naturally, when Johnson dropped the mighty champion of Caucasian brain and muscle in that fatal 15th round, Keno, the dull thud was around the country, and the pride of those who had bounced loudest and "gone out" heaviest financially, was brought low. Thus began that campaign which hounted Johnson until he brought up behind the bars of the United States prison at Leavenworth. At last, Jeffries had been avenged. For several years after Johnson's incarceration nothing much was heard of colored boxers. They had been "darned eternally" by what he had done; his race likewise, they told us. But as Johnson had emerged in the dark shadow of the departure of the old-timers, a young little, beautifully formed giant of a heavy-weight had begun to attract some attention in those circles where prejudice was not so strong. His name was Harry Wills. Harry Wills Emerges He hulled from New Orleans and he was bowling over his opponents with such regularity that those who had looked with distaste on any attempt of the colored boxer to "come back" began to sit up and take notice. Wills fought his first recorded battle in 1911, the year after Johnson and defeated Jeffries. He keyed his man in seven round. From his first bout Wills' stride was little short of mar- EVERY MAN WHO HAS LOST THE VITAL FORCE OF YOUTH MAY BE RESTORED Scientists Make Wonderful Discovery-Says No Man Under 100 Years Should Feel Old A new discovery is said to have been made by a scientific study of erbian mountain people who scientists say, live longer than any other people. It is said this discovery should add many years to lives of people in all parts of the world and quickly restore manly strength, youthful vigor, grace and beauty lost by neglect or abuse. Scientists agree that the secret of health and vigor lies in the internal glands and if these glands are stimulated kept in normal state, than might life be improved and aliment such as tired worn-out feeling, weakness, nervous liability, sallow complexion, loss of weight, poor memory, premature senility, scrawny neck, restlessness at night, pains, headache, melancholy or despondency, ete., should disappear. The difficulty encountered by the medical world has been to find the right igorose grandis. This grandis is simple, perfectly harmless, inexpensive, and can be brought to the attention of the Atlas Laboratories, who, after careful research, have such great faith in its restorative power that they have arranged to make it available to all. The treatment is put up in tablets, known as Vim-Ets, and is said to produce almost immediate results, first indications being improved appetite, nerves toned up restful sleep and return of your vigor. The results obtained by these laboratories have arranged for everyone interested in long life youthful vigor and health to test it without the slightest risk. All you need do is send your name and address (no money) to Atlas Laboratory, Dept. 12, St. Louis, Mo., and you will send you a full-size box of Vim-Ets by mail under plain wrapper. On arrival post mailman only $3 and postage. If you do not please, just notify the doctor and your money will be promptly refunded in full. Anyone should feel free to accept this trial offer as it is fully guaranteed taken in the privacy of the home. **Adv** Wills A Gentleman The pugilistic ability and gentleness conduct of Wills have enabled the new generation of colored boxers to catch the ear of some of the more important boxing promoters with the result that today the Negro boxer occupies a higher place in the pugilistic world than has since the palmy days of spanking of the article. In the heavyweight field after Wills, George Godfrey ranks next. Godfrey is only 23 years old, a giant in size and has been declared by some of the leading sport writers as one of the cleverest boxers in the ring. There is also a number of lesser heavies who have attracted some attention, chief among whom is Bill Tate. Tate's was being knocked out in defeat Godfrey recently. Godfrey has not had many fights, they seem to be dodging him. In the light-heavyweight class, Kid Norfolk is generally conceded to be the king bee. Norfolk has added immensely to his popularity during the past year or so, by winning all his fights, the most notable of which was his victory over Battling Siki, the Songatese fighter, a few weeks ago. His kaya in three rounds each of Tutt Jackson and Smiling Kid Nolan in this city last August will also be remembered. Tiger Flowers A Fighter In considering light heavyweights, however, Tigers Flowers must be reckoned with. Flowers had been beating his opponents with more or less consistency until he broke his hand in the second round at Mexico City in his battle with Jim Flynn. However, his hand has healed and he is again on the war path. Among the midlightweights are such fighters as Joe Gans, Willie Walker and a newcomer Larry Estridge, who recently stopped Walker. Benny Puntan ranks as king of the lightweight field, while among the bantams are Denny Edwards, who came East from the Pacific coast several years ago and has fought more battles during the last two or three years than any other colored scraper. $25,000 For One Fight And all of them have not been fighting for the provisional "boe stew" either. Harry Wills started the ball rolling financially in his battle with Tut Jackson at Ebbets Field, Brooklyn August, a year ago when he fought Tut Jackson. The receipts on that occasion were $61,000 and Wills got $374 per cent, somewhere around $25,000. None of the other fighters have done quite so well in the battle between Kid Norfolk and Battling Ski almost and held these figures, with $39,841 of which Ski pulled down $17,692, and Norfolk $11,379. Norfolk was so confident of winning that he added to his purse by betting $5,800 on him $8.082 for his share in his recent two-round kayo of Homer Smith. So it seems that the colored boxer is not coming back but IS back and one is justified in saying that truly a new day has dawned for the colored boxer, much more than the recent ones to Harry Wills whose gentleness conduct caused the promoters to give the newcomers a chance.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. If you are not familiar with budget making, visit the Y. M. C. A. or the Community House where they will be glad to assist you. 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. Officer Maskall did not miss with his swing and Hill faced His Honor with a mono heading head. The Magistrate's $2 and $5 amount could add to the trimming he had already received. "Cold weather proved a jonah to one man Saturday night. Theodore Rice, 644 W. Lafayette avenue, called on Mrs. Amie Hall, 644 Smith street, last week and when she sent him out to get some money changed, forgot all about bringing it back. Then on Saturday night when Mrs. Hall met him on the street and demanded the money, he told her to follow him to the home of one of his girl friends and he would get the money for hee. He left her standing at the front door while he waited in the back. According to the back, according to the statement she got some angry and as a result like had to try and explain the matter to His Honor Sunday morning. After listening to his story the Magistrate told him to tell the same yarn to the Grand Jury. When Issue Christian, 1122 Winer alley, had collected $85 as he made deliveries for his employer, Saturday night, he decided to call on the ghosts to help him get personal possession of the money. Police found him screening for help in an abandoned house on the Franklin road, where according to his story, some terrible "shadow" had taken him from the delivery wagon and after taking the money, left him there to freeze. An investigation revealed the fact that the "shadow" of which Christian was acquainted in the old弹琴 game.

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.

D. Dean lead in the campaign that resulted in the debt on the Sharp Street Community House being greatly reduced and Rev. M. H. Davis directed the rally that resulted in the debt of Waters A. M. E. Church being wiped out. 1551 MARRIAGES. 342 DIVORCES IN YEAR 1923 More Than One Separation Out of Every Five Couples Wedded During Past Year In City. 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.
