32nd YEAR Number 26 Entered in the Postoffice at Baiting Matter under Act of 2 SEGR FATHER IS HELD FOR DEATH OF DAUGHTER Preliminary Hearing in Sykesville's Mystery Murder Case Held There on Wednesday TRIAL IS IN MAY TERM Clarence Richardson Is Sent for Safekeeping To Jail in Westminster Westminister, Md., Mar. 13 (Special) — Clarence Richardson, charged with the murder of his pretty nineteen-year-old daughter, was brought back to jail Wednesday of last week after a preliminary hearing in Sykesville. Since early in February he has been held pending an investigation of the mysterious circumstances of the death of his daughter Nellie, whose body exposed and bearing evidences of criminal assault was found in a clump of bushes off the state road. Her head was dented as if struck with a club and there were finger marks on her throat. Witnesses, apparently somewhat frightened by the unusual circumstances of a murder case in their mids and being compelled to justify against the head of a large family developed little that was damaging against Richardson. Nellie went to work at the home of the Sykesville postmaster on January 28th. That night she started home but never arrived. Testimony was to the effect that the father was seen in the neighborhood of the place she found the night of the disappearance. Stories of the unusual love of the father for his daughter were brought to the bars of Judge Musgrove at Sykesville, who learned that pretty Nellie had been forbidden all company and be frequently came to her service place to escort her home. Evidence was that the mother was on the point of saying he would have to stay away or keep his daughter home. Judge Musgrove declared the state would attempt to prove unnatural affection, and that the father killed the girl because of jealousy or because she refused to do his bidding. The Judge placed partisans' emphasis on Nellie by giving Nellie his sister to exchange at a Sykesville store when she left from home the last day was afterwards found by her father, and that the father called at his office three times urging a searching party through the woods. Richardson, who bears a good reputation in the community, denies killing his daughter. Despite the fact that he has been in jail a month already, he must await trial at the next term of Carrol County Court which meets in May. AFRO SPORTS EDITOR DIES AT HOSPITAL n. E.

Lester Walton of the World, declares the part of the heroine should be given to some colored actress like Evelyn Preer, whose complexion is as fair as that of the white actress. Other critics declare that "art knows no color line," and that judgment as to the propriety of mixing the races on the stage should be withheld until the show stages its premiere this month.

SENATOR ASKED RESIGNATION OF DEAN MILLER Request Withdrawn When Supposed Unauthorized Letter Is Explained Howard University Officials Still Fight to Have Congress Put It Back Washington, D. C., Mar. 10.—The school of medicine of Howard University will not receive the much controverted item of $500,000 for additions to the medical school building and the equipment of such additions. This item has been stricken out of the Interior Department appropriations bill in conference last Friday. The university, however, will receive a total of $365,000 unless the efforts of Representative James F. Byrnes of South Carolina should prevail to have $207,500 of this amount again stricken from the bill when the conference report goes to the House. He has served notice to the office of the Howard University items. The conferences on the part of the House and the Senate agreed to the action of the Senate in reinserting the items for $207,500 for the university maintenance. They also acted favorably upon an item for $151,500 for the completion of a gymnasium, but turned down the $500,000 budget. Simultaneously it was learned that Senator Lawrence C. Phipps, Republican, of Colorado, had called upon President Durkee of Howard University to request the resignation of Kelly Miller, dean of the junior college. Phipps took this step because it appeared that the president and dean were at variance in their requests to include the $500,000 medical school item in the Senate bill. The matter was smoothed out later and Senator Phipps request withdrawn. While the negative action of the conference committee took place Friday, university officials when seen yesterday are still hopeful that the medical school appropriation will be reinserted, before the measure is finally passed.

EGRI ERBERT BRENON production PANISH Damon and Pythias The Morgan College Dramatic Club and a group of young Pittsburgh collegians known as the Imperial Art Club, under the direction of Mrs. Venzella N. Jones, former instructor, Morgan College, will present the play "Damon and Pythia" to the Baltimore public on March 28th at the Douglas Theatre. The cast will include Mrs. Jones herself in one of the title roles, ten students of the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Tech, together with forty-eight students of Morgan College. Mrs. Jones who witnessed the performance of last season, "Mid-Summer Night's Dream" will need little introduction to Mrs. Jones and the local student cast. Since returning to Pittsburgh Mrs. Jones has organized and trained the group of students known at the Imperial Art Players who made their initial appearance at the Nixon Theatre in Pittsburgh. It may be noted that this was the first time in the history of the high grade playhouse that a colored cast, amateur or professional has been performed to appear before audiences. Several members of Morgan College were represented in the cast. A large and critical audience rendered enthusiastic approval at the conclusion of the performance. Flattering testimonials were sent by the Mayor of Pittsburgh and other noted critics in the dramatic field. The title roles Damon and Pythias are played by Paul Banks and Norman Hardy. Mrs. Jones says of Paul Banks as Damon—"He is one of the most remarkable young men for his age I have ever trained. He is forceful and intelligent and he really loses himself in the character." Norman Hardy seems well night created for the role of Pythias. Tall and romantic, every inch the soldier and lover he breathes a fire and eloquence in the part which never fails to capture the sympathy of his audience. The work of every character is outstanding and many pleasing features are added to make the play most interesting and entertaining. It will not play to please the intelligent play-goer.

This little "tib" is one of the clearest that it has been our good fortune to see in many moons. No offensive talk, clean situations, and free from all suggestive dances. The fun another version of the two suspicious husbands and two sinful wives. The complications are humorous, and though the action is inclined to drag a wee show is entertaining. bit. the costumes are tasteful and like the lines are clean. The choristers are a spirited lot. In the "Black Bottom" ensemble a snappy routine is uncorked. Emma Mitchell and Pauline Montella do the couple roles acceptably. The costumes and Mitchell handle the comedy and straight respectively. Will Green Johnson pleases with a solo. The choristers are Elizabeth Smith, Billy Miles, and Mickey Donley. There is one highlight of every performance at this house, and that is the playing of the "masty" cornet, (as Glen Jenkins would call it) by the cornet player in the house or orchestra. That whole band is "poison," but Tom Slimman from Kansas City is a "pain" with his trumpet. Tuesday afternoon during the pictures they turned on in "Old Fashioned Love" on "Runnin' Wild" the cornet player went "cuckoo" and the house went with him. To tell the truth, I patted one "Henry Clay" myself. The orchestra is always applauded for playing their numbers here. The piece mentioned above was repeated three times. REGENT Miller-Slater Company The Miller and Slater Company, in titer eighth week at this house, have a stompin' down good show. The opening chorus got away from the barrier slowly, and the following "bib" has been seen so often here that the customers were rather cold. But wait, Mabel Gantt and Alberta Perkins, a sister team that worked under cork last week, rounded off minus the blackface makeup, but wearing two dazzling gowns that brought a gasp of light. Assured of a bearing in the jury, they pulled out some "wise cracks," and Perkins, who is a Jason Dame, with a hypnotic saint sang and danced a man that won her a plenty. Mabel Gantt, one of those little pocket editions, looked good very good. The teamwork of the pair is as even as the pistons of a Rolls-Royce.

Jonne Davis" the Old Master, aided and abetted by his boy Eddie Lemon, brought down the house with ridiculous characterizations of an African Prince and a monkey. Eddie's monkey-shines gives one more faith in Mr. Darwin's theory. A brand new setting formed a beautiful background for the tasteful costumes of the chlorisers and gowns principals. A show lot and lots of enternment value, and as clean as the miraculous snow. By the way. no review of the show would be honest if the "Mammy" number led by Marcus Slater, with the choristers we went to left out. The selection was a wise one and went over, with a "wow". PALACE THEATRE The Palace Theatre offers next week the biggest attraction of the season. Jimmie Cooper's Revue, which is made up of the best white and colored performers in ballet. The colored artists entertain during the entire second half of the show. These include Julian Arthur's sensational jazz band, Bessie DeSota, Octavia Sumler, Emmet Anthony, Reuben Brown, Joe Peterson, Ida Roley, Gertrude Miller Trio, Four Dancing Foods and the Plantation Strutters. Never before has such an aggregation of colored performers been seen on a stage in Eastmore. In addition to the colored artists and the colored jazz band, there will be the usual company white stars, headed by Jimmie Cooper himself. The management of the Palace has announced that the usual admission price, 20 cents, will prevail during this engagement. The management also advises the ladies to attend the outing, formarences, because the outing has largest crowds, the exhibition are expert through the Palace during the one week engagement of this big double show. DUNBAR A glance at the picture program played at the Dulper Theatre this week shows the Central Avenue House to be in forefront of those houses showing the latest releases Monday the fascinating Dela Negri in "Mad Love" was shown on Friday and with the classics of "Winter Comes," Thursday, "Alas the Night Wind." Friday, William Dempound in "Beasts of Paradise" Saturday, "King's Creek Law." The popular serials "The Fighting Skipper" and "Luthf of the Largs" were also on the bill. So large has been the attendance since the enlargement of the theatre that it seems another sad seat was made to the increase. To the generous enjoyment of the patrons, no small amount, if contributed by the house orchestra. SS The PENNSYLVANIA AVE.

DELAND'S COGO-TAR HAIR-GROWER ENCOURAGES DOZENS OF WORTHLESS IMITATIONS 29,000 Were Sold In Baltimore Before Advertised. Now Proclaimed The World's Greatest Seller, But Has Many Competitors The old saying that "Nothing succeeds like success," finds ample illustration in the fact that several unsurpassed manufacturers are trying to imitate Dr. Delano's Coco-Tar Hair When first offered to the public, Delaine's Coco-Tar Hair trainee was guaranteed to grow hair for 12 months. The public found it to be just as represented, so the sale was of phenomenal and uninterrupted success. She sold hair product. The success has been so marvelous, that dozens of small concerns have imitated it by using shiny hair around the words in order to make their names sound like Coco-Tar. But with all their imitating, the customers around the country claim that the people are very careful in buying a hair grower and he always make sure they are getting hair trainee, which is sold by all drugstores for directed through the Eastern Mail Order Branches of the Herbs of Life.

W. Jefferson Baptist Conference Decides To Use Full Energies In Backing Clayton Williams "All races are equal. All the things that the white race has must come to the colored race" declared Dr. Henry Barton Jacolis, white, in a brief address before the Baptist Ministers Union meeting at Union Baptist Church Monday. Dr. Jacobs made a plea for the support of the Morgan College drive for $15,000 in order to secure the $50,000 gift from the Rockefeller Board and for the better support of the Henryton Turbulentus Hospital. He added that the Maryland Therapiosis Association had $2,000 in bank which helped for a Preventiorum injured children. The project fell through the money is still intact, and will be given to any worthy charity designated. Dr. Jacobs said. Pointing to Henryton as the latest addition to colored institutions in the state, Dr. Jacobs declared that all things that the white race has must come to colorated all souls are white before God, whether they are in a white or a black body. Race advancement must come slowly, everything cannot be done in a moment. In responding Rev. R. W. Jelferson declared that if the white race only heard Dr. Jacobs words and headed them, a beginning would be made to address the solution to the race problem. Rev. Lake J. Reynolds, pastor of Trinity Church urged a resolution to support the Morgan College drive. Rev. W. J. Winson in copying and urging full support to Chayton-Williams University declared that none of the big colored schools are getting aid from philiphilistic organizations have a white president. The Emporia school is foolish to help build up a neighboring school when they have their own institutions which they must rely upon themselves to build up. The resolution was not offered.

Stewart Davis Commenting on the trial of three men recently held in the Bel Air Courts, The Aegis, white paper of that city, had the following to say of the conducting of the case by J. Stewart Davis, a local attorney: "Considerable interest was aroused by the trial of William Hardage, James B. Johnson and Edward Harris, on Tuesday, the charge being they had robbed Victor Lanceen's residence at Joppa. They were aly defended by a colored lawyer named Davis from Baltimore, by big polished manure, a remarkable flow of language, and legal knowledge, made a puzzled impression." Comment on the case was also made by 156 Bel Air Times. Quality Satisfaction Let me beautify your home. Price to suit the times. Practical Workmanship Drop a line and I will call. W.

CUMMINGS BURIED MONDAY Hundreds of Friends of Deceased Minister Fill Sharp St. Church To Pay Final Tribute Heart Attack Followed His Running Up Long Flight Of Stairs Last Thursday "He has received his last appointment," declared Bishop M. W. Clair Monday in delivering the principal eulogy over the remains of the late Rev. Charles Gilmore Cummings, pastor of the M. E. Churches at Lutherville and Govans. Hundreds of friends passed by the bier as the body lay in state Monday morning, and at the services, the building was filled to the doors. Rev. Dr. Cummings, who was a member of one of the oldest and most prominent families in the State, was stricken suddenly in Union Station last Thursday night.

MORGAN MUST RAISE $150,000 FUND Proposed Appropriation For Next Three Years Is Only $7,000 As announced over a month ago in the AF100, Morgan College has been awarded $50,000 by the Rockefeller Foundation, provided an additional $150,000 is raised by friends of the institution. The drive to raise the $150,000 will be launched in a few days. Small Herts From State The only institution for the higher education of the race in the State will receive only $7,000 a year for the next three years from State funds. Founded in 1867, and was at first located on Saratoga street, east of London. The school, for many years known as the Centenary Biblical Institute, moved to a large building at Edmondson and Fulton avenues 40 years ago. His name was then changed to that of one of its benefactors, the late Hew, Littleton Morgan, white. It received a gift of $50,000 when a similar sum was raised nearly a decade ago, thus enabling it to secure a fine location of about 50 acres on Arlington and Hillen road and midway between Harford and Greenmount avenues. Among the students and an assembly committee about the only structures erected on the campus since the college has been there. Several other large buildings have been remodeled and are being used.

TARCO HAIR GROWER THE POMADE WITHOUT THE ODOR If your Druggist cannot supply you, mail 50c direct to LERO DRUG CO. 1126 Fulton Avenue Baltimore, Md AGENTS WANTED And They Tour From City To City In a Big Stearns Knight Eight By Kennard Williams The many theatre-goers who laughed at, and with the tall fellow with the perpetual broom and dilapidated porter's cap, at the Lincoln last week, perhaps did not know that this week, at whose every gesture they laughed, was just a few years back a student at the old Carry street annex, called the "Tin Factory." The program informed that the gangling, awkward chap, with the pleasing bartone was William Sellman or "Wonder" as he is called throughout the show world. Born 35 years ago in Northwest Baltimore, Sellman, a lot of other kids entered the doors of the "Tin Factory," but unlike them he did not pretend for the term. Three days at the foot of learned prowess, Young Sellman then enter- School of Experience. Started In Cafe Being gifted with an extraordinary voice, Sellom attracted the attention of several cafe owners and was soon launched a peer of an amateur. Tiring of being interested after several seasons, he became interested in the stage. Using the tips received from the cafe patrons, Sellom purchased customers, box of cork, and a red lip-stick, asked for and received an engagement at the studio. The剧院 in the studio. His ability to anger and comedian was recognized at once, and he was in demand by the proprietors of the vaudeville houses for colored people, then just coming into their own. About this time the present Mrs Mary Sellom was added to the professional social end. The doubled every colored house in the United States. Turns Down Offers With the team and its earnings as a nucleus, the company toured five years without a lay-off. Sellman must have been born under a lucky star, for his company was booked into Tulsa, Oklahoma, the week of the riot. When William Benew's company was mobbed in Shreveport, Louisiana, Sellman company was booked to take law. But humorously remarked that, "I had business somewhere else both times. A question asked about his treatment in the Southland, brought the response, "I have been through it several times, and have never had a moment's trouble." "I was restricted in Baltimore, so why should I expect anything more down there?" Sellman's comedy is remarkable in that, when he thinks of a new gag on the stage he springs it when he measures it or not. He manages to maneuver the lines so that those playing opposite him are never confused at the change. Toured For Five Years Several offers have been made him to join the larger shows, but to date he has rejected them all. One offer from a wealthy man to have his voice cultivated was also turned down. This young man has set his exorcist wizard to work on some games have the determination necessary to get them himself. Another evidence of his thrift is the saving of railroad fare by transporting his company in a specially built, Stearns-Knight 8. Sellman speaks clearly, with well chosen words and sound, if not perfectly well bred. Not so bad for a follow who only spent three days in the "Tin Factory." Stricken In Street Leaving home last Friday apparently well, Alexander A. Smith, 1034 M. Eutaw street, was taken suddenly ill. He was taken to the Maryland General Hospital where he died. His body was identified at morgue last Saturday. His wife, Mrs. Mary Smith, and parents, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Smith, are among the surviving relatives. Funeral services were his late home Tuesday. Interment was at Mt. Auburn Cemetery. Alleged White Moron Shoots Cadet Washington, D. C., Mar. 12—Frank D. Frenley, white, 45 V street, N. E., who shot Armond W. Scott, Jr., in the ankle while the latter was drilling with the Dunbar cadet corps, has been released on $20,000. Frenley ran his automobile thru the line of the drilling cadets and shot in the crowd when they protested. He was one of the several white boys arrested for an attack on a dark-skinned woman in a corner of the Central America, after he had accompanied Miss Evelyn Harris, 40 Bryant street, home from the theatre. Hubby And Wife Charles Martin, 1011 W. Lexington street, is a holdover who lives his wife and his hootch. He says so himself. He got a little too much on board Monday night and while out Tuesday his wife packed up her belongings and left. "I do not see why my wife left me just because I drank a little whiskey." Charles bewailed to a representative of the Afro-American. "I love her and am going to continue to support her." LOVE AFFAIR LEADS TO $10,000 SUIT Robert Keve Claimed White Men "Framed" Him After Assault And Battery Claiming false arrest, Robert Keve, 2 Ben street, entered suit for $170,000 against Harry and Abraham Morstein, white, in the City Court through the law firm of Davis and last week. According to his declaration, filed through the law firm of Davis and Evans, Keve went to Morstein's place on December 15, to see Miss Gerritude McCoy, who was employed there, and after an argument, the two white men assaulted him and afterwords told police that he attempted to rob them. He was dismissed on the robbery charge when the case was heard in the Magistrates Court. FOUND NOT GUILTY OR SERIOUS CHARGE FOUND NOT GUILTY OR SERIOUS CHARGE Benjamin Washington. Accused By Five Year Old Goes Free Benjamin Washington, 909 Madison street, charged with criminally assaulting five year old Dorothy Smith, with the charge of homicide, was found not guilty by Judge Frank in Part 1 of the Criminal Court Wednesday. The assault with which Washington was charged is alleged to have taken place on February 10th, and according to the testimony of Mrs. Bertha Smith, grandmother of the girl, was the attempt made by him to abuse her. Although diminutive, even for a child of five years, Dorothy told her parents that Washington had assaulted her while the parents were away. His arrest was brought about, however, following an attempt which some of the inmates of the house was alleged to have According to her story, Washington had remained in the house to take a bath and when he heard the child coming up the steps he opened the door and taking hold of her, attempted to assault her. Her resistance frustrated his attempt. She then told her grandmother that on a previous occasion he had assaulted her. Washington, however, denied any improper conduct with the child, and because of a lack of sufficient evidence he was set free. ALSTON HEADS KY. HIGH SCHOOL ALSTON HEADS KY.

William Sampson Will Face First Degree Murder Charge Tuesday In Criminal Court LEACH PREPARES DEFENSE Ex-States Attorney Will Attempt To Save His Client From The Gallows The trial of William Sampson, on the charge of slaying his wife, which was set for Tuesday in Part 2 of the Criminal Court has been postponed one week. Former States Attorney, Robert Leach, who will represent Sampson, asked more time for preparation of the case. Sampson confessed killing his wife, from whom he was estranged when she sought a divorce. He then secured a taxi and rode to the Northeastern Police Station, where he gave himself up to an Afro reporter who happened to be near the desk. Applications are that it will be one of the hardest fought murder trials of the year. Atty Leach told a reporter for this paper that it had not yet been decided just what lines the defense would take.

ALAGA SYRUP Premium Sugar Syrup Regular shipments of Real ALAGA Cane Syrup are now being received in Baltimore right now where the Sugar is made "itel Jo" it goes to make "itel Jo" with Hot Cakes and Hot Biscuites for those who know its quality. Persons from Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida and Alabama especially, prefer it over all other syrups; and can tell you about the "goodness" of Real ALAGA Cane Syrup. Then too for fancy baking and candy making it has no equal. ALAGA Cane Syrup is the entire juice of the Sugar Cane plant bollled down to syrup, with nothing added, except a very small portion of corn syrup to prevent sugaring in the can. The quality is therefore near that of maple syrup at only half the price, but with a very different flavor. Ask your grocer for the Real ALAGA Cane Syrup.

The question is being considered, why phase of it also? Politicians are at war again over the question of more colonies for the Baltimore police department. To this there can be no pointed objection if the salaries are needed, but there is one phase of the police department here in Baltimore that strikes a sore spot in every colored breast whenever it comes to the surface. In the whole department from scrub-woman to Commissioner, there is not one colored man employed. there is not one color. This department will spend around $3,000,000 this fiscal year. The most of this will be fined and taxed out of colored men and women, directly or indirectly—but not one penny of this money will come back to them in salaries. This is not only unfair and unexcusable, but smacks of downright dishonesty in dealing with so large a percentage of the city's productive citizens.

The Association sent a committee to Annapolis on Wednesday to push the bill before the legislature. These men, in their dealing with conditions leading to crime and other evils see the need of making proper provisions for weak-minded Negro boys and girls who need specific training to fit them for useful places in society and have taken the initiative in the matter. The need for such a school has been long evident to teachers and those coming into contact with child life.

MISSISSIPPI LIFE:INSURANCE CO. Last week Mr. M. S. Stewart and Mr. George W. Lee, prominent officials in the Mississippi Life Insurance Company, headed a delegation of its agents in a march on the home office to protest against white ownership. This looks like trying to lock the stable after the horse has escaped. Why abuse white financiers for buying a profitable colored insurance proposition? Why not aim at the men who sold it in the first place. If the men who built up the Mississippi Insurance Company wanted to retire from active control, it certainly could have been done without turning the interests of the many policyholders, who had trusted them, into unknown hands. That the cream from this $24,000 per week taken from thousands of hard working policyholders will flow into white banks, will promote white enterprises, will buy white homes and farms, is the fault, not of the whites, but of colored men themselves. We have had too much selfish juggling of public interest in our enterprises. Selling an insurance company differs from selling other commodities in that it transfers an obligation. When you transfer an obligation you should be sure that your successors will fulfill it to a moral certainty. Who knows but that the Southern Life Insurance Company will not gradually kill off this colored concern, in the interest of its own company with which it competed? NEGRO PRESS AND UNIONISM why the Negro Press Association at its Nashville made as its main business among colored people is a question that enduring. But let no one believe it exp of all the colored newspapers. one should know better than newspaper organization has had upon labor in the themselves squarely "against all form economic radicalism" whatever, the execaded by Editor B. J. Davis, Atlanta, Gaody and soul to the interests in this cog the working class in a state of econom Just why the Negro Press Association at its last meeting at Nashville made as its main business a slap at unionism among colored people is a question that calls for much pondering. But let no one believe it expresses the opinion of all the colored newspapers. No one should know better than newspaper men the effect that organization has had upon labor in this country. In setting themselves squarely "against all forms of unionism and economic radicalism" whatever, the executive committee, headed by Editor B. J. Davis, Atlanta, Ga., attempts to yield body and soul to the interests in this country bent on keeping the working class in a state of economic slavery. For the last five years there have been insidious influences at work to keep Negroes out of the unions and use them as scabs to retard the progress of unionism. We wonder did not this influence in some way reach the resolutions committee of the Press Association. The majority of Negroes belong to the working group. Their first battle was to whip union labor into including them into its organization. Now that this has been done it is to the interest of every working man and woman in this country that they join some organized movement to force better wages and better working conditions. Unionism, organization and the strike might not be the best method, but experience has proved them to be an effective method of loosening the grip of the exploiters. If capital is organized, and it is, the only way to meet it with a fighting chance is with organization. That's what unionism is.

What was 'The Freedmens Bureau?' 'The Freedmens' Bureau was created by an act of Congress, March 3rd, 1865. Its work extended far beyond education, embracing abandoned lands and supplying the Negroes with food and clothing. Gen Howard was appointed Commissioner. The Bureau founded many schools in localities which had been in the line of the Union army, these with the efforts established by its agency, and published under some supervision. In some states, schools were carried on entirely by aid of the funds of the Bureau, but it had the cooperation and assistance of several religious and benevolent societies. 165. Who was Nora Gordon? Nora Gordon was born in Columbia, Ga., in 1866 as a teacher of poetry and former shaves, belonging to the well known General Gordon. She attended the public schools of La Grange, Ga., and entered Spelman Seminary in 1882. Nora Gordon's work as a pioneer in the field of education and Sunday schools is one of the outstanding achievements in the history of race women. Completing her course in Spelman in 1888, an urgent call came for her to go to Africa where she labored until 1883 being compelled to return home in the United States. Restored, she was married to Rev. S. C. Gordon and again returned to the Congo. 166. Who was the first colored man whose signature made money of worthless paper? On the 22nd day of May, 1881, Rev. S. C. Gordon appointed ex-senator Blanche K. Bruce, of Mississippi, Registrar of the United States Treasury. Next Week's Whatnots 10—he is called "The Apostle to Jesus." 108—Who was Phillis Wheatley? 109—Who is the World's Champion Bricklayer? Physician Urges Borrowt As Segregation Weapon Dear Mr. Editor: Apropos of the statement in the Afro-American relative to a report that "a large number of building and loan associations in Baltimore have agreed not to finance Negro homes in certain cities of this city; that this is a compromise plan plans started by the protective associations to segregate and restrict Negro housing; that what cannot be done by law will be tried by organizations." I am perfectly sure that colored people in Baltimore, and Maryland at large, are not without effect; means at their disposal, the unfair and illegal homes of certain groups of white people in the Negro housing. A most effective step which can be immediately taken by the colored people is their general withdrawal from the so-called "white street societies" in favor of colored insurance. That we have very good and reliable colored societies goes without saying. By this means we will not only increase wealth in our own ranks, but will make it possible for meritorious men and women of our race to get the sort of employment for which we demand employment and careers in preparing. We will stop that one most detestable thing of having a white man enter our bedrooms $\textcircled{2}$ see our women sick in bed. We will stimulate much race pride among us and command much of the respect "from the other side of the fence" which we do not have by reason of the rude access into our private places by people who would not permit us into theirs under any circumstances. What is best, still, we do them in our private places. Keep them out, segregated or unsegregated. E. MAYFIELD BOYLE. 425 N. Carolina Street. TEXAS SHRINERS ENJOINED TEXAS YOU CAN'T COME IN!! RACE SHRIMER FRED B. MATSON DAY BY DAY "All God's Chillun Got Wings" By Wm. Pickens Those who own this play have put out a lot of well-worried propaganda in favor of it. They have tried to forestall criticism of the thing by saying that it was all "for art's sake." The very nature of this play is to create sentiment against a mixed community, especially in the North where the common school has been so far maintained. The play shows that a little white girl and a little black boy, BECAUSE THEY CAME IN CONTACT IN THE SAME PUBLIC SCHOOL, fell in love with each other; that this love lasted into later years; that they married even when the girl was not kit to marry; and that it all TURNED OUT BAD. Terrible! At present the most actively growing sentiment in the North is one against the mixed school. "If a black boy and a white boy attend the same schools and get the same education, one fellow naturally in Springfield, Ohio, 'they will want the same things." That is the very best reason, of course, for sending all the children to the same school, but in the eyes of a race prejudice, it becomes the source of the strongest sentiment against sending the PROSCHEED RACE to the school with the "chosen." That is plain, and that is logical. But while that is the natural side of the matter for American race prejudice to take, it would be a foolish side for the American Negro it is to the Negro's interest that the black child should have the same ambitions and the same chances that the white child should not. No regulated system will preserve this equality or foster it. To put you out is to put you under. OUT and UNDER are convertible terms in this case. Play Aimed At Mixed Schools "All God's Chillun Got Wings," whether it was so intended or not, is fuel for this grooming and bad sentiment against mixed schools in the North. And nobody has yet tended to use this play as a tinder. This play is dangerous to the democracy of the Northern public schools—such democracy as they still have—some of them. While the play, indirectly supports the South, it would hardly be allowed in the South, for the South is a black man and a white woman in love even in a play or in a picture. And this play is not needed by the prejudice of the South: segregated schools, with all their hellish robbery, already exist there. But it is the North that this play will do good, from the Ku Klux point of view. And if the owners of this thing have not yet found it out, we want to inform them that the Ku Klux would pay to have just such a play as this put on. Some colored people in 1815 that nothing Colored people are. Do you believe that white people. You can hire SOME of them to do anything that the law allows, if you have money enough. And the law certainly does not make it an offense for a colored man or woman to reflect on their race in plays—or to help the Ku Klux in any other way. "—All God's chillin' got wings"—but remember also: "Everybody talkin' 'bout heaven ain't gain there!" 300 White, 1,900 Colored Republicans in Anne Arundel County says Writer Who Urges A Block Ticket. Finding that Illinois has accomplished something in the national government, why cannot the colored people of the nine counties on Eastern Shore of Maryland get busy. Why should we not make our own ticket. Anne Arundel County has only 300 white Republicans, and I think in me as the we are being held while the Democratic party strips us of our rights. If Baltimore will start the ball, we the nine counties, will back the movement. Please consider this, sixty years we have helped the whites. We have accomplished nothing in the National government as yet. We should put our strength together thus we will be asking for something we will have the power to demand it though representation we want a black ticket. --- HEALTH TALKS BY ALGERNON B. JACKSON, M. D. Director School of Public Health Howard University A few evenings ago I stopped in a bootheel parter and was much amused and interested by the following conversation taking place between two of the shine artists. "Where you goin' tonight George, to a stomp-down?" Yes, guess I will. "What is it, a C. O. D. party?" "What do you mean by C. O. D., collect on delivery?" "No that ain't what it means. Are they goin' to have liquor there?" "Sure thing." "Well then, it will be a C. O. D. party alight—Come Out Dead." Of course much loud laughter followed this rather clever bit of wit, but withal I was possibly the only one who saw the serious side of the joke. First there is the stinging indictment of liquor in these days, when liquor may be anything which may be placed in a bottle and can be poured out. The liquor of pre-Volstod days had enough death dealing force, but the worst of that time was better than the best of these times. Secondly, there is recognized the fact that liquor makes men and women irresponsible, so rum soaked and crazy they start into light and someone or more are pretty liable to come out dead.

KELLY MILLER SAYS KELLY MILLER SAYS The race must find and finance some agency for the foreign travel and study of our choicest youth in the various countries and universities, whereby they may gain an intimate understanding of what is going on in the world. Scholars should be sent not only to universities of Europe, but to South America, Japan, China and Egypt. Freedom of the Philippines The principle of self-government again comes to the force Congress is formulating a plan for the independence of the Philippe Islands. In 1901, I recall, way back in 1900, when the issue was fresh in the public mind, I wrote a two column letter to the Boston Transcript, on this question which was afterwards published as a Broad side of the Anti-Imperialist Leaf against the loudest by the tens of thousands. I took then the only position that any right minded Negro could take. The Filipino and the American Negro are partners in distress. The suppressive policy is the same, only the conditions are different. The Filipino is denied self-government on the same principle that the participation in the government. Resort is had to the same line of argument. They are not deemed fit or fitted for self-government. They are required to wait until they learn to swim before they are allowed to try the water. The folly of this policy is fully illustrated in case of the Negro. The Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments gave race full citizenship rights and political and civil preoccupative. They entered upon the exercise of these rights, just as they were, without one plan. Mistakes were made. Blunders were committed. Black ignorance was exploited by white cunning. There were excessive indulgences and gratuses will be procured. Black ignorance was gaining a political experience and a knowledge of and interest in public affairs that went to prepare the race for helpful and efficient participation in government. But when by dogmatic flat the Negro was declared unit for governmental function the drive of governmental power and denied any relation to the government in any form or fashion the political role of the race has grown less and less significant. Since 1876, the Negro has advanced enormously in intelligence, subservience to the ruling party in general, and yet he is deemed less worthy than he was forty years ago. No High Offices Here is a race of eleven million loyal and right minded American citizens who reduced to a mutilation in the state on the theory of being unprepared, while all opportunity for preparation is denied. In the last presidential election practically every Negro in the country, voted for the party of their ancient allegiance. After election the united voice of the race joined in requesting that some qualified Negro be assigned to the position as Register of the Treasury. The request was flatly refused. No colored man holds a single position of first class importance in the Federal government at Washington. The two or three Negro officials of highest rank hold office through the gratis, grace and favor of some white sponsor rather than by an African American present rate of political progress, the Negro would not reach the plane of political equality in the next three hundred years. Indeed his whole political life is retrograde. Such is his situation of waiting to become fit before a race is permitted to participate in political life. Wait, Wait, Wait If the people of the Philippine islands wait till their alien governors declare them fit for self-government, they will have to wait as long as the Negro in America to gain political equality. No nation in the world is ready for self-government. If some other nation with anterior motive is to set up as judge, is Germany or Russia to judge for self-government according to the judgment of France or Belgium? I make bold to posit the proposition that any people according to their stage of civilization and progress can govern themselves better than any other nation is likely to govern them. The help which the stronger and more advanced peoples of the world can best render their enquiry and use advanced follows will in counsel, advice and benevolent guidance, and not by seizing their sovereignty. When you chill the self respect of a people you paralize their higher energies and aspirations. Havti The United States has set back the just aspirations of the Bay Area people for several generations by placing heavy hand upon the throat of this feeble republic and choking the voice of the Negro crying for self-expression in the Western hemisphere. It has been hard to bring schools and good roads and improved revenue. If liberty dies. It is useless to nourish the body after killing the soul. Self-government is better than good government. It is far better in the long run than a people for the present world, which should not worry that they be well governed by others. Woodrow Wilson Woodrow Wilson will go down te the ages chiefly for his reaffirmation of the doctrine of self-determination, so effectively ex- pressed by Abraham Lincoln. No man is good enough to govern another. No race is good enough to govern another, without the consent and participation of the race governed. For self-expression does not depend upon the present degree or attainment. It is a fundamental human impulse. We need not marvel then, at the seeming imprecation of the Filipino of the fact that American overcrowding, and plenty, has given them law and order. They simply want to indulge in the superlative privilege themselves. British Methods The new British Government has hit upon the wiser policy. The inherited British rule is to bear a lightly as possible upon the subject people and shall lead as rapidly as possible to the self-sovereignty of the unfortunate people now overridden. The American Negro, in no mood, can have any sympathy for that school of philosophy for which the negro has the aggrandizement of the strong. There are strange transformations in the attitude of puritan alignment. From the beginning of Philippine subjugation until now, the American party that has stood with more or less consistency for the full manhood rights of the Negro in America, has advocated the subordination of the Philippines. While the party that has contended against the black man in America has advocated the self-righteous in the yellow crosses the sea. Consistency is *a* Jewel whose brilliancy rarely shines in the dark unmathed caves of political exponenty. The Negro Mind The Negro mind is for the most part narrow and provincial. It lacks cosmopolitan comprehension and breadth. It is but natural that a people who are shunt into themselves and their own problems would be more aware of their little world, but we must begin to look beyond our limited racial horizon. Our own problems must be viewed in the light of world perspective. The Negro is most deeply concerned in the attitude of the United States towards the non-white peoples of the world. We are concerned with the darker element of the human race. The Sawich Islands, Port Rico, the Philippines Islands, The Virgin Islands, Jaytai and Santa Domingo, have come in a more or less effective form under the domain of our government. To all intents and purposes, America has become a colonial power. The character of government is bound to be profoundly affected by this expansive policy. Our constitution is founded ed upon the basis of equality. The colonial policy, in the very nature of the case is based upon inequality. It does not seem likely that our people deal with the non-white peoples at home and abroad by markedly different formulas. Need of a World Mind The educated Negro must need cultivate a world mind. His vision must at least include all non-white peoples of African derivation. South America, the West Indies, Africa and the scattered fragments of his mother blood now distributed over the face of the earth constitute the universe of his intimate and immediate interest. He must study the civil world in its relation to the non-white world. Some time ago I made a suggestion which I now repeat, that the race must find and finance some agency for the foreign travel and study of our choice youth in the various countries and Universities whereby they may gain an intimate understanding of what is going on in the world. This observation and study should be sifted into one own understanding and the result applied to our own racial situation. Young Negro scholars should be sent not only to the Universities of Europe, but to South America, Japan, China, and Egypt and should saturate their minds with what is going on in the minds of the world. This is the only way in which the race can keep about 10% of the Japanese population with this method with telling effect. In the early nineteen the Shater Foundation under direction of Ex-president Hayes, made provision for Dr. DuBois to continue his studies in Europe. Dr. Alain Leroy Locke, of the Rhodes Scholarship fame, has traveled and studied race relations in Europe and Africa. Such sporadic instances should be organized and reduced to a system by well-planned and other devoted to the higher life of the race. I am making this suggestion to stimulate the higher educational life of the race which is now tagging for want of keenness or zeal and freshness of inspiration.

When a savage puts on pants and learns to love a dollar, we say he is civilized. Don't be afraid to speculate. Those who bought German marks now have money to burn. Perhaps the highest recommendation for that cook who just got out of jail is that she stayed in one place for sixty days.

There are many things money won't buy, but a man doesn't think of them when broke. We know how much a dollar's worth And how much is a mile.

'SUPER' Chicago, Illinois, March 14—(By The Associated Negro Press) The United States Postoffice is the largest single industry in the country according to John D. Gainey, assistant chief clerk of the Railway Mail Service. It employs 22,000 Negroes. Such information was conveyed in an address delivered by Mr. Gainey before the popular Grace Lyceum as the chief speaker on a program arranged by employees of the Chicago postoffice and members of the National Postal Alliance. Previous to the address, Mr. Gainey, had been guest at a banquet in his honor at the Vincennes Hotel. Referring to the Progress of the Negro in the postal service, Mr. Gainey told of a Negro superintendent of a sub-station in New York with fifty employees, half of whom are white, the station doing a million-and-a half dollar business in postal savings last year, and of an assistant superintendent of mails there. In Brooklyn there is a superintendent of a branch office and the man in charge of the important inquiry department of the Brooklyn postoffice is a Negro. In Boston. There is an assistant superintendent of mails and in Indianapolis the chief examiner and chief weighmaster are Negroes. Mr. Alexander King, superintendent of College station, New York before receiving his promotion, was for ten years assistant superintendent of the Wall Street station, the most important branch office in the United States. "During the past several weeks I have been giving the supervisory positions in the Chicago post-office much thought." Mr. Gainey informed his audience. "and I am pleased to say to you that I hope in a few days to announce supervisors of sections manned by Nerges as well." The assistant chief clerk reported that President Coolidge had been informed of the discrimination possible in the civil service because of the use of photographs and that the chief executive had promised to do all he could to do away with the practice.

Whitins BOOSTER'S STORY Once upon a time a young rooster whose knowledge of the universe was confined to his own barn yard, was prompted by a desire to know more about the things. Mounting the high board fence that surrounded his domain he was greatly surprised to discover that his next door neighbors were a pair of Ostriches. During his investigation of the ostrich farm he soon came across an immense egg. Struck by a bright idea he waited until the barnyard was quiet and quickly rolled the egg into his own barn yard and calling all the heens together he spoke as follows: "I am not complaining about our past efforts, my dears, but just see what we are doing in the nest world and be inspired to greater effort."

Write Joke Editor, Afro-American. PRIZE WINNER The late President Roosevelt was on a hunting trip and in sad need of a pair of dogs. It appeared that there were only two hunting dogs in the entire neighborhood. They were famous as bird dogs. But the President was told that the old colored man that owned them never loaned them to anybody. "I can get them," said Roosevelt. Going to the shack he found the owner and his dogs outside the door. "Mose," said the Colonel, "I'd like to borrow those two dogs today." Mose only shook his head. "Do you know who I am?" he was asked. "Don't keer who yuh is," said Mose. "I'm Roosevelt, President of the United States." "Wouldn't keer if yuh wuz Booker T. Washington, yuh couldn't borrow these here dawgs." QUEEN ESTHER HOWARD. 246 W. Biddle street.

"Here," exclaimed the policeman, "you can't hit here." "Can't chi!" shouted the frate farmer, "Well, why have you got a sign up, 'Fine for hitching'." "CLAINE CAMPER." 1218 Myrtle avenue. The prosecuting attorney was examining a witness. "Now, Mose," he said, "tell us what you know about this." "Well, boss," began Mose, "I thinks—" "I don't want to know what you think. Tell what you know." "I thinks—" "I told you not to tell what you think." "But boss," said Mose, "I ain't no lawyer. I can't talk without thinking." ... Temptation (Ever since the world began, woman has been tempting man.) "Adam," father of us all, He of course was first to fall, Eve tempted him to fall, the fruit, He made himself a suit, Of fig leaves, that was all around, Upon the trees, and on the ground, For now that he was worldly wise. The fruit he ate had opened his eyes, Then came Lot's daughters, who were Bethought themselves to frame a snare Between the two they brewed a drink, Lot took, and then he ceased to think. King David from the house tops saw His fate, and then he broke the law, So when the prophet to him came, King David from another's head, But took it on himself instead. Though he was punished just the same For Justice is The Master's Name. King Solomon, greatest of them all, He took a thousand in his fall, Five hundred more upon the side, 'Twas said of him, before he died, 'Twas said of mankind, From Geneses to end of time, His wisdom of experience born, Was given to us in Proverb form. Jacob met Rachel at the well, For seven years, and then he fell, Her father, Jethro, to evade, And break the bargain he had made, Did offer Leah to him, And finally shook his head; 'Twas fourteen years he served in all, To gain the girl that made him fall. Samson, the strongest of them all, He fell the hardest in his fall. He braved the danger in him, hiding a terror to all men. A thousand Philistines he slew, The Good Book says, therefore 'tis true. He wandered far from kith and kin, And lost his strength thru woman friend. The charms of Ruth in harvest time, Made Boaz say with smile sublime, Cease gleaning, child, and come with milk. Into the house, and have some tea, He was enamored of this maid, So sought a Priest and they were wed, What mattered, though he were a True love will level everything. Records of Job will stand sublime, For patience, until end of time, His wife hwesed to do great harm Job trusted Him, and broke the charm. FRANCIS. The "Marked" Baby Bogey Many a prospective mother is made nervous and frightened thus listening to the tales of superstitious persons about the danger of marking her baby. She is afraid to look about her for fear of the sights her eyes may light upon, and that she may; without willing it afflict her child with some unsightly mark. No one is able to go thru any period of such a length as nine months without being subject to sights that are unpleasant, revolting or terrifying. The fact that most babies are born unblemished ought to satisfy the mother that what she sees or the frights she experiences have no power to mark the child. The baby is entirely separated from the mother except for the cord thru which nutrition is drawn from the mother's body. The nervous system of the mother is in no way connected with the child so that her emotions do not affect g the baby. The only way in which e a child can be affected by the emotions of the mother is when s such emotions operate to upset her appetite so that she does not eat e well, or correctly, and the baby s is deprived of its proper nutrition.

Advice to Lovers Answered by Annie Reney Dean Annie—I am keeping company with a young man. I have dates with him every Sunday night, and he never comes before 8:30 and always stays until 11:30 or 12 o'clock. My mother does not like to have him stay so late. Do you think these hours too late for a girl of 17 keep? Also, it is proper to vide a young man in the theater to get back from a theater act 11 p. m., when everyone at your home is asleep? BROWN. EYES. The young man does stay too late. Tell him frankly, but ask him to call again. If your parents are asleep, you should not invite the young man in. Dear Annie Roney—I am married to a young man whom I love dearly. My very best friend told me that she also loves him, and on every occasion he instills with him and makes sly instructions concerning me. I have told my husband about her, but he only lattes at me. He also insists upon my maintaining my relationship with her. I think he is wrong. What shall I do? HQPEFUU. I fear if you discontinue your friendship with her, your husband will think the matter really serious. Under the circumstances you can scarcely be intimate or chum- my with her, but it will be wise to keep up some sort of a friendship. Ignore and do not worry about her firrations and remarks. Just keep yourself attractive and charming.

I have always had rough skin on my legs and my arms above the elbow; so could never wear short sleeves. After dissolving some of baking soda in the basin of warm water, you must wash and wipe the skin. White is still moist pour dry soda out in the palm of hand and rub on in the arms and legs. Continue this three times a week. It works like magic. You will be surprised how soon every bump will disappear. Don't be stingy, rub a generous amount of the soda into the rough skin. A little rubbed into the pits of the arms will do away with any kind of goose bumps. Dry soda rubbed on the white moist will prevent them from throwing off any odor and eventually cure the very worst kind of perspiration feet.

He stops to trotle with the baby while his waffles get cold. He then jumps to lust "puff" at his pipe, when his wife asks him to answer the door bell. But he never quirrels if his biscuits are burned or if the person at the door has a bill for some money. He then throws biscuits before he'll allow his insurance policy to lapse. He gives his wife credit for her efforts in behalf of the family's welfare, turns his back on her shortcomings and laughs at her mistakes. He'll put his last bit in the day, on her day, or hand out his last dollar to a brother in distress. He kisses his wife in the kitchen instead of on the front porch, and tells her their baby is the sweetest in the world. He threatens to quit her when she weighs 200 pounds—although she is deeply poor that the sends of amusement, plays the part of nurse, and when she gets back, says he has had a bally time with the youngsters. If his two boys follow the example set by their father, in time to come, there'll be two other women as happy as he will be will be just a little latter because such as their father came this way. M.

The Gripping Color Line Novel Recently Published. (Released and Copyrighted by The Famous Writers' Guild.) John Howard went to the station the other day to meet his mother who was coming up from Mississippi to keep house for him in Chicago. Both looked very happy. They were well dressed and they went away together in a smart new car. Now all this is rather strange for it was only two years ago that John Howard was undeniably poor. A friend, who passed him depot, took at his many apparel and exclaimed, "Well, Howard you must have struck some good luck." Howard smiled broadly. "Good luck is hard work!" he rejoined as he nuckled a warm robe about his mother and stepped on the scissor. Now suppose we skin back across the weeks until we reach a night two years before. It was a snappy winter night. Simultaneously two men, on opposite sides of the city, opened the front doors of their houses and stepped out into the frosty air. They had not or seen cain other. They had never seen well dressed. Each other were well dressed. The other shabby. One was a white man—the other black. Yet though different in appearance they were in the same mood. "Carl Whitman, the white man, had never studied anything in his life. He thought he did not need to. His family had always been a very wealthy one. They had traveled; they had purchased objects of art; they had wintered in Florida and summered in dragging the wide-eyed Whitman after them by his chubby right hand and Whitman was imaged in early age by the fact that his family seemed to know everything there was to be known, so secretly, and because he was a lazy boy, he determined to let them wear all the burrows. He had dawled through college, coming out no wiser than he went in. He had in fact, as he said with a grin, "graduated by the back door," which meant extremely that he had dawled. Through phismanagement the Whitman estate had shaken alarmingly in the great wealth of former years had sinistered down into a few tottering securities represented by a mass of disorderly pipers.

John Howard, the colored man, had been studying all his life. He knew he had to for his race was several generations old, and knowledge. Howard did not personally, to march at the tail end of civilization's procession. Unlike Whitman's ancestors, Howard's ancestors had not traveled to any good purported for one coin, and they took their heals in a dirty galley from an African jungle to a sweaty job on a Louisiana plantation. Howard ran an elevator during the day and since his graduation from the law school he had opened a small office in which he also lived. He was obliged to keep his job on the elevator for he had to send money back home his mother in Mississippi and cooked his own meals to keep down expenses. He was always careful and much meal to air his two bedrooms thoroughly so that clients might not enter to encounter the lingering aroma of bacon and fried potatoes. He made his bed neatly every morning and then folded it up and put it away in a closet. He dusted every day with a red bandanna that his mother had sent him on Christmas, and once a week a woman from the flat before him and scrubbed the dark spots for him. Things looked pretty dark some time on the client had yet accounted for the unscared stairs to tap on his door and ask excitedly, "Now about this case, Mr. Howard—how soon do you think we can get it into court?" On this particular evening, tired of waiting, tired of the unbroken ticking of the clock, and stuff from sitting in the chilly room, Howard determined to close up his office and go out for a walk. He had found that walking nearly always warded off the blues. He went out, as we have already recounted, just about the time that Whitman left his big house on the boulevard. > To be very exact Whitman ran out of his house almost in terror; terror of life that had so suddenly faced him with the query: what are YOU going to to earn your bread? Whitman had never eaten bread—consciously; never he cut down in a highly ornamented cafe and ordered just—bread. It had always ben, "Bring me a broiled lobster, waiter," an artichoke in butter and some hot-house grape." Whitman cut his way frantically through the night not knowing where his steps were leading him. He turned from one dark street into another. He passed from the section of the city that was familiar to him into one that was totally strange. All at once a shadow detached itself from the darker shadows of an arrow and followed Whitman. are you a of my TOWERFREE! in or lifeless mustrous and PROVE it by of my Tonic ense. fair and square No matter who you can obtain. 50-cent box of Tonic Hair Grower ation, discovered and perfected by a new beautiful new hair in a few weeks. hair, eradicates dandruff and relieves the scalp.

COMPANY BALTIMORE, MARYLAND 5e Additional Postage Call VErnon 6016 THE AFRO-AMERICAN SOUTH'S BIGGEST AND BEST WEEKLY The shadow crept upon him, swung upon him and Whitman went. Then a second shadow leapt out upon the first and the thug had slugged in and had slugged in of blows delivered by Whitman who had chanced to be walking slowly toward Whitman in the darknes. The thug recovered his balance and fled into the night as Howard bent over the white man to ascertain Whitman. Whitman was conscious. Howard entered into his coat pocket and drew forth Whitman's wallet. He lighted a match and read the name and address inscribed on the flap so that a moment later when an officer appeared to demand an explanation Howard was able to say. This is Mr. Carl Whitman. You can call a cab I will take him name." There was loose uneven slush on the streets and the cab racked and creaked as its chains dug an onward progress. Howard sat bolt upright holding the unconscious white man. He began to wonder just why he had stopped in to assume authority over someone he did not in the least known except as he had read of his hittings to Europe and had ranomed over Sunday papers. Howard smiled. After all is was an adventure. He would turn the great man over to his butler and perhaps run out for a doctor if the telephone proved too slow. But on reaching Whitman's house there was no butler. There was no one. After paying the cabby Howard was ousted to hunt through Whitman's pockets for the front door ice. With the help of the cabby he carried it with him to the library finding it after trying several electric light switches and opening or four doors that led into the ante rooms and closets. They laid Whitman down upon a divan. "He's got a good one sure!" grinned the cabby. "Some joint, eh?" he whispered as his eyes were caught by the paintings and heavy furniture that adorned the room. "He's not drunk," corrected Howard. "Somebody held him up!" "Goe! They gave him a mean wrist in the jaw alright." When the front door had closed on the departing carriage the solemn emptiness of the mansion began to impress itself upon Howard. After adjusting the cushions under Whitman's head he ran the front stairway to light a back wall of a bounding room with a sliver, towels and a basin of warm water in which floated a large sponge. He united Whitman's curtain, removed his collar, coat, and vest, and finally managed to ease the still unconscious man into his robe. He sponged the blood from his face and neck and after a close scrutiny decided that was the best way. Whitman was already showing signs of dawning consciousness. He began to mutter. "Everything's gone wrong! No use in anything. Everything's in a terrible mess. Can't straighten out anything—only ten shares left —property all tangled up—terrible, terrible mess!"

He crossed the room to Whitman's desk and looked at the disorderly mass of papers that cluttered the desk and ended to end with the bent over and to end with the sort them into little pockets. He read them as he sorted. He became very much interested and sat down before the desk and was soon lost in appraisal of the financial assets as they lay open to his discerning eyes. After a few moments the mumbling from Whitman's corner of the room ceased but Howard was so far engrossed in the papers before him that he had shifted some of his anxiety from Whitman's physical lilts to his financial troubles. Presently Whitman his eyes. He loohed his lounging robe and wondered when he had put it on. Then he raised a hand to his jaw and carefully felt the bulging soreness of it. Next his eyes wandered about the room till they rested on his desk. Fright surged over him at sight of the Negro sitting there. Never having known a Negro personally during his entire life he jumped to the conclusion that he was to be robbed of what little he possessed and probably never heard! All the news he read about his dark countrymen in the papers had pared to that conclusion. He made a sudden and ineffectual push to gain his feet, but falling back only succeeded in knocking over the little table that held the hasin and sponge. Howard turned from the desk to face the unexpected clatter. (To be continued next week.) Gored To Death By Bull Spartansburg, S. C., Mar. 12—(By A. N.

SHOW WORLD HAS EYE ON CITY Success Of Lafayette Players Here Will Mean Rebirth Of Race Drama $200,000 IS LOST F. C. Brown Said To Have Dropped This Amount In Theatre (Variety Says) The third important attempt to put across a colored stock company in recent weeks occurred recently when the Ida Anderson players opened at the Douglass, Baltimore, with "Why Wives Go Wrong." Previous attempts by different companies at the Lafayette, New York, and the Dunbar, Philadelphia, had lasted, respectively, two and one weeks because of mismanagement and poor business. The whole colored stock situation in the United States at present is in a very bad way. Some five or six years ago, they boom in the field, and there were a dozen or more companies throughout the south and east playing to fair business. The common factions were the big vogue, with an occasional old-timer such as "Way Down Egg" providing a favorite. The crash started about three years ago, when E.B. Brown, wealthy banker of Philadelphia, conceived the idea of starting a big circuit. He built the Douglass in Baltimore and bought and rented about half a dozen more theatres in large eastern cities. Brown was a banker and not a showman, and the whole plan developed into a gigantic flop. He is said to have dropped at least $200,000, and a full come over stock producing that has lasted right until the present. While the majority of such shows have been badly managed and cheaply set up, there has been no dearth of, the thspian talent. There is hardly any other field for colored professionals unless they are fit for one of the musical comedy or cheaper rep shows given by their race. So talent wanted, can be obtained and it occupies prominent figures. Charles Gilpin is a graduate of colored stock, and it is claimed by those in touch with the situation that there are many others, both men and women, who would do equally well were they given opportunities. Some of them are striving to prove it now in the first all-colored legit company, that is playing in "Rosaceum" on the road. In spite of this talent on the part of the actors, stock companies rank as very unimportant at present. Nevertheless, the engagement in Miss Johnson's company in India is being watched closely, should it prove success, it may bring about the real birth of interest in such ventures. There is undoubtedly room for them if handled properly. THRILLING FIGHT WITH KNIVES IN MOROCCO Of Allah" How Elaine Calvert, an American girl traveling in Morocco, inincidently becomes an enemy of the Sultan and hostage in a fued between the desert tribes and the Sultan, is one of the interesting angles of the story of "The Tents of Allah" coming to the Carey, Tuesday, March 15th. When it came Hamdehas, a Mohammadine feast day on which Europeans and tourists were advised to stay indoors, Elaine refused to listen. On such day there is a religious rite in which a bomb, its throat cut on the outskirts of the city, is rushed to the Sultan by a messenger who clutches the bomb's throat to keep it alive until it --- All Admire Her Lovely Hair Few people who meet this beautiful girl know how she obtained the gloriously lovely hair that now makes her admired by all who see her. She says it was Exelento Quinine Pomade that rid her scalp of all dandruff and made her hair grow long, silky soft, and luxurious. It made her hair fairly glow with life and gave it a pretty glossy sheen. She was so delighted with Exelento Quinine Pomade, she tried Exelento Skin Beautifier for sallow complexions and skin bleemishes. She had used this remarkable cream but a short time when her friends began complimenting her on her clear skin and improvise appearance. Anyone who wants lovely hair and a beautiful complexion should immediately purchase Exelento Quinine Pomade and Exelento Skin Beautifix. They can be obtained at 25% each from nearly all drug stores, or will be sent postpaid upon receipt of price by the EXELENTO MEDICINE CO., Atlanta, Ga. AGENTES WANTED EVERYWHERE Write For Particulars THE AFRO-AMERICAN 'GOLD FRONT STORES' NEW COMEDY Raymond O'Neil of Ethiopian Art Theatre Comedy Makes New Venture Acting of Such Players As Abbie Mitchell The Only Thing To Stave Off Defeat By J. A. Jackson Raymond O'Neil, the Director of the Ethiopian Art Theater Company, is apparently an extremist. His first colored company, achieved a tremendous artistic success in "Salome," a play of such weight that the public would not take up the mental burden of appreciating it in sufficient numbers to make financial success. In the present revival of a playing group under the title, he has gone to the The initial offering "The Gold Front Stores, Inc." a comedy-drama that is credited to one Caesar G. Washington, might better be termed a burlesque so broad are many of its effects. Caesar seems to have read and memorized many of Roy O'Dwain Cohen's favorite expressions; and to have seen Miller and Lyles famous grocery store. Fired with the writing bug, he sailed into writing a Nero drama Amutuccerus is well written into the piece. Either the author has but faint knowledge of Nero language, psychology and atmosphere; or has an even fainter ability to interpret the impressions he attempts to portray. In reality the piece is crude. The ability and personality of the actors is the salvation of the "Gold From Stores"; and the piece has several very clever specimens such as when Gus Smith, as "Frankie Jackson, a promoter explains that "thecorporated means that when you say thru the law that you are a big business man for as much money as you say you are worth, the law helps you get what you want." Another line is, "Joyful formes, cast in the unhappy head of the character gets a good laugh. It doesn't get no nationality, and just a colored man. Except for a tendency to overheat a bit, fanny is good." Abigie Mitchell as the cook and admirer of the store owner, is playing a part that for her must be difficult; but she delivers with a degree of success that proves her unmistakable artistry. Edna Lewis Thomas is tremendously successful as a beauty cultural with radically transferred affections. These people do very well with the very inferior material with which they work.

Of course, that isn't all! That very night Elaine was stolen from the garden of her uncle's house. Uncle got busy right away and pulled a lot of government wires, and one day a U.

On the desert sands under the flaming sky of Morocco men fought to the death for the woman they wanted. Monte Blue and Martin Faust have a terrific fight with knives, on horseback.

Folee Theatre, Feb. 25—in spite of bad weather, a good audience attended the opening performance of the vaudeville bill, *The New Pine Organ* was appreciated during the run of the pictures, and the house orchestra fairly rocked them in their seats with the overture. Cocan, a man and woman, presented some good cross fire talk after opening with the new old Running Man and sang *Lost, A Wonderful Man*, effectively. Perry sang "Go Me That Old Time Slow Drag," which led up to the dance contest, which closed the audience and the audience applauding is the answer.

He put up at Smith's Hotel, talked baseball a while with the officials of the Black Sox Club, got a fish dinner and chatted for a while with old friends. He modestly admits that at one time he could use a catchers mask and mit with the best of them. The Harrisburg boss, who carries some 286 pounds in weight without any trouble, was accompanied by Oscar Charleston, new outfiter, just down from Cuba who is to direct the team this year, and M. Jordon his chauffeur. "All the League teams are using a truck to carry the players from city to city this season" deferred the Colonel," and I ran down from Harrisburg to look over a big White truck they have here." Asked if he wants to make public the list of players this year, from the Colonel stylishly spiked at Charleston. "Not yet," he said, "I had a pretty good team last year. We play at Highland Park, which seats some 12,000 and belongs to the city. There was no white team of our size in the capital and our fans always turn out in large numbers from both races. This year we are to have a white team from one of the local leagues, but I do not think it will be our attendance. Last year we took teams in our secession, even when they imported professional players from the big leagues to help them out. "I had not figured on changing the club around much, but when I got in the Eastern League and saw what the other managers were doing, I had to get busy too and right off the bat we got Charleston here for a manager. We have some other players signed up too. I expect them to show up, and when they do, I will give out our three-up. Sports New York Charleston is sporting a new film Elgin watch and fad to match the gift of admiring fans of Havana, Cuba, Charleston and some eight other colored hats played on the Havana Club which won two pennants there this winter. The third session of the winter league will close March 16th, Charleston declared, and many of the Cuban players will get North to play with the Eastern League this spring.

"Fact is, they are so tall that the average uniform of 44 inches around the chest won't fit them. I had to order six new uniforms of 46 inches chests." The six footers on the Sox team are six footers and Pullen, catchers, Sykes and McClure, pitchers, Peter Wilson, first base; Hank Hallowley, center field; and Blackmon, third base.

Martin, the lone Colored boy to run in the Laurel to Baltimore Marathon race Saturday came in in fifteenth place. Martin would have done better but he suffered a sprained ankle soon after leaving Laurel. This accident slowed his pace but he doggedly kept in and completed the distance of 26 miles 385 yards, and came in 31½ minutes behind the winner, Frank Zuna. Martin made the distance in 314.7 LBS. He was followed by a motorcycle notice who directed his course. Frank Martin's home is in Rye, N. Y., and he is a member of the Cygnet A. C. East Port Chester, N. Y. His weight is 123 pounds and is 23 years of age and is a chauffeur. He has been running about 4 years and has several bronze silver and gold medals won in other events. He ran 7 miles in Rye, N. Y. in the first race in 20.45 and landed fifth. Last year in Boston he ran 26 miles in 2.45. Last Saturday he made the first 10 miles in 61 minutes but owing to an accident to his ankle he had to show his pace. Out of 56 runners, 36 finished, so Frank is confident of going to Paris and competing in the Olympic there. All other athletes who competed in the meet were housed at the Southern Hotel. Martin was sent up to the Royal Palace away from his teammates. After no one was there to relieve him and an Aero reporter threw his overcoat on the soaking wet runner. "Take him over to the Turkish Baths" said an official. But bath house employees refused service and the reporter took the runner to the Y. M. C. A. for shoes on the floor. Knowing the color line would he drawn against him at the banquet at the Southern Hotel after the race, Martin took the earliest train for home. His team mates called at the "Y" in a taxi and took him with the reporter to the hotel. All along the line of the race Martin was repeatedly cheered. DUNLAP "7-11" winner in the Dunlap 7-11.

TENNIS TEAM BEATS JAMAICA Americans Park Color Line In Dixie And Play Against Colored Stars CLARK SHOWS WELL Wins Two Out of Five Sets Against Vince Richards, U. S. Star Jamaica, R. G. L. March 1— (Special Leaving the time in Dixie, six ranking tennis players (white) of the U. S. A. made the trip here from New York to play the ranking tennis stars of the island. The American team was made up of Vincent Richards, 4th ranking, U. S. player, his bride, Carl Fisher, 7th ranking player, G. H. Southern, Ralph Jaggs, H. Goldman and C. Craig, 20 years ago national indoor doubles champion and Mr. and Mrs. Harold Throckmorton. "Vince" Richards, who for three years training won the National doubles championship paired with Tilden, beat B. M. Clark, 6-0, 4-6, 6-0, 4-6, 6-2. Clark is well known in the US. He has played with the Humes two years ago for the American championship among colored players. There is no color line here and both colored and white players make up the local tennis club. Clark is rated as second best tennis player in the country. He may later tourney to be held in Baltimore this summer. Victory Is Decisive Richard's victory is decisive, but the game nevertheless was a very hard fought one and full of splendid tennis, the American star being just a Little bit more accurate than Chark in driving shots and having to be quite careful which are quite new to the Jamaica tennis. Richard's backhand driving was especially fine perhaps even better than the other hand and he did some wonderful work at the net, steering point after point with perseverance to be able to do very good in the forward position, but was not able to get there as often as he would have liked, his opponent's anticipation and footwork keeping him constantly on the move. Richard's service was not as good as usual and never at any time gave Richard's advantage, while the other hand the winner took quite a few aces off his delivery. Urges Jamaicans To Challenge For Davis Cup The ground boys in their green costumes attracted much attention to keep from distracting players as they chased the balls. Mr. Vincent Richards says that our Clark has every attribute of a first class tournament campaign player of speed. All he need to do is continue to play first rate players. Also that Jamaica has more tennis talent among its premier players than Canada, and some other countries. We ought to challenge for the Davis Cup, said Richards. All the games are being staged on the grounds of the Jiganta Club by the Jamaica Lawn Tennis Association. Reserved seats are 6 shifting and season tickets two guinea. Exhibition matches between visitors and Jamaica ladies in mixed doubles, exhibition doubles between members of visiting teams will carry the tourney thru March 6th. Visit of the Americans has proved that the standard of tennis play on the island is high, and may lead the local club to accept the invitation to challenge for the Davis Cup next year. Championship Doubles Vincent Richards and H. S. Throckmorton (America) beat L. J. Fogarty and D. K. Andrews (Jamaica): 6–1, 6–2. L. E. and N. N. Ashenheim (Jamaica beat S. R. Cargill and T. B.

Nicholson (Jamaica): 6-1, 6-1, (Finals) Richards (American) beat Clark (Jamaica): 6-0, 6-0 Richards Lauds Clark Richards in a special article to the Gleamer commended Clark on his playing, and very modestly asserted that if Clark had adopted a forcing play the result would have been different. Clark play during the week, and although he impressed me as being a very likely looking candidate for pre- mier tennis honours, I had no idea that he really possessed the game that he has. Time and again he would be one of my pet drives the season and he makes perfect passing shot out of This when one is dashing furiously for the net is discon- certing.

QUAKERS FAIL TO STOP ORIOLES Local Girls Defeat St. Peter Claver Of Philly, 26-9 The fairer sex held sway Saturday night at the "Y" Gym when the Orioles defeated the St Peter's Clavers of Philadelphia, 26-9. The girls from the Quaker City started the game with a rush and it really looked as if the local young ladies were in for a thrashing but Miss Spriggs came to the rescue and shot the first goal about 3 minutes after the game started which gave her teammates confidence. Then the fun began. Misses Tracy and Camille James of the St Peter's Clavers were the best standing players Philly. each shot two field goals. The first half ended with the score 14-4 in favor of Orioles. Capt. Spriggs of the Orioles shot 5 field goals and Miss White 3. The Orioles showed better team work and at every stage of the game the Quaker girls were readily outassessed. Ms. Marshall of the Orioles sprained an ankle and was carried on the floor.

Loendi, minus the services of W. P. Young, Lincoln graduate, who drew sidelines during the fight, showed Pete Johnson at center. Loendi got away to a slow start, quickly warmed up to the task before them and Lincoln, weakened by the loss of one of their men, due it is alleged, to fraternity trouble, appeared to be struggling under a handicap. Captain Woods and Bryd of Howard-Lincoln football fame, were the threats for the game, but these men hope to offset the work of such men as Moton and Klebs, who were truly in their glory. Although not hard pressed, Loendi displayed their old-time snap.

Fighting despite but vainly, with the high school basketball championship of Chicago within their grasp, Wendell Phillips with an all colored team met defeat at the hands of Lane Tech, a white team with a colored star, Friday night, 18 to 4. Two thousand fans crowded a gymnasium to see the game. Three special elevated trains of 15 coaches and a caravan of autos carried South Side fans to the far North Side, the scene of battle. From the moment the first whistle blew, Phillips was at a disadvantage. Lane had a perfect machine built around Ellie Watson, the colored center; their team play was dazzling and of truly championship caliber. Phillips playing on a strange floor appeared to lose its man and was a bit rough. Capt. Lester Johnson and Spears, center, were pulled out for personal reasons. At one time Watson was almost on the game by a vicious kick in the groin. He came back, however, and Lang's victory was safe, for Watson proved to be a team in himself, and Lang's student body made the welkin ring as they cheered his name. D. C.

LARKINS BASHFUL AS BRIDE LOOMS Reader Who Asked Afro To Help Him Find A Wife Now Recalls It Is Leap Year Anyway COUNTY HEARD FROM Charles Handy Of Tyaskin, Md., Says He Is Tired Of Being Single And Lonesome Too It looks as if Howard Larkins, who asked the Afro sometime ago to help him find a wife, may change his mind. Some dozen or more replies came from prospective persons of the feminine gender last week, and were forwarded to Mr. Larkins, who has been unable to make a choice, he also deletes he had not been to call upon any of those who wrote to him. The reason of this bushfulness as far as the Afro reporter can learn is that Mr. Larkins had been "kidled" by his friends, and faced now with the possibility of meeting an honest to goodness manface, he became somewhat awkward. He admitted the Bikes widows best. Refusing to give his picture to the reporter he said "He be giving myself away, when I want to surprise, them by bringing home a wife. Since it is heap year anyway, just give my address to any of the young ladies who inquire at the Afro-Caribbean Contests of letters would not divulge except to say that one lady had written that she had one leg, one arm one eye and false teeth. Farmer Wants Bride Encouraged by the apparent success of Mr. Larkins in getting replies to his advertisement for a wife, Charles Handy, Tyaskin, Mr. wylies a beautiful blondness and wants a helped body, I am a farmer, aged 45, he declares and own my own land."

A. building a year, opened for service to colored men and boys, is the average maintained since 1911 according to a statement issued by the Colored Men's Department of the International Committee of that organization. This progress, the report states, has been made possible to a large extent through the offer made by Julius Rosenwald, President of the Sears-Roebuck Company of Chicago, to contribute $25,000 to each city in the country that possesses the additional funds necessary to erect a standard building The most recent one to open its doors was Pittsburgh which began operation last October. Denver has recently broken ground and Detroit will begin work probably in April. These standard buildings are situated in centers with an aggregate population of nearly a million colored men and boys, fully a fourth of the population inhabited directly by "Y" activities. Of the 55 city and industrial associations, 13 are housed in standard buildings valued at $57,000,000. See Our Spr of Men's and Wom Wearing Appa FREED AFTER 19 YRS. IN SLAVE PENS Leroy Green Charged With Stealing Push Cart When 10 Years Old Freed At Last 7 YEARS IN CHELTENHAM Thrust into Cheltenham at the age of 10 and after seven years farmed out to a white planner who worked him without schooling or money and then railroaded him into Crownville on a lunary charge, is the story of what Leovy Green (72) Green street, says he has to die, 22 years of age, is now a free man again, having been released by balashe corpus proceedings instituted by relatives in the Circuit Court last Saturday. Cheltenham Seven Years According to the story of Green, he was committed to the house of Information at Cheltenham but he was 10 and on a charge he was put in a push cart from a neighbor. This charge he denies, but states nowwithstanding this he was sent to Crownville as mentally ed in the broom making department for seven years. Following this he was given over to Samuie Darby, a white planner, and he farm his farm as a laborer. Here he said he spent three years in virtual slavery. While on this farm, Green said he slept in the upper part of a corn crib and work daily for three years. In this small excuse for a room the only furniture was an improvised bed, where sacks and pieces of worm blankets formed the covering. Here his fare consisted of from one to two meals each day. Often according to his story, he was forced to go to work without workwear until evening before getting his dinner. For none of the three years spent on Darby's farm did he receive one penny of money, he declares. He was given such clothes as his work required, but aside from this was virtually a prisoner on the farm. Sent To Crownville It was while working on this farm that he was accused by a member of the Darby family of an indecent behavior, says never accused, nor sent to Crownville as mentally deficient. Although he did get three meals each day here, also he was often beaten and abused. For nine years he also worked daily here and operated a lattice that made chair rounds and other parts. When it was decreed that he be given his independent objected to his leaving because of his work. Relatives Get Busy Some time ago Mrs. Estelle Cole, an aunt, interested herself in his freedom and through Atty. George W.

They were in jail but they would have been in the stomach of James Wilson, 21, 219 Durham street, if the police had not crossed his path. James could not make proper explanations, furthermore, the chickens favored two just missings from the roost of Samuel Sanhun and he was held for the action of the Grand Jury under $100 bill. Things Were Awfully Mixed Someone wrote the police department a letter that threw a monkey wrench into what was to be a jolly Sunday party at the home of Miss Rosie Spratley, 504 Orchard street. According to this letter a truck load of whiskey and a bottle of other women's husband were to be present to the holidays Sunday. So on this tip Seegent Koch and other officers raided the place and sure enough things were not running according to Hoyle by any means. When they entered they found some husbands holding some ladies on their laps that should not have been there and a trap that should have contained a tea was found to contain two people. The following members of the party were arrested and fined $2.45 each, while Miss Rosie was held for the Prohibition authorities: Flossio Archie, 1108 Bolton street Robert, Sewell, 504 Orchard street Sidney Allen, 504 Orchard street Murshall Mitchell, 1644 Eitting street Charence Frisby, 949 Pennsylvania avenue; Josephine Rodgers, Camel alley; Edward Oliver, 320 Camel alley. Did Not Leave A Thing "Well, Elizabeth, tell us all about it," said the Magistrate after reading the charge of assault preferred by her against William Brockman, 671 Bradley street, and her one time sweetheart, "Did he be sorry you?" "Hudger," he said, affectionate. "He shrured did not. When that man got through with me I did not have half as many clothes on as when I was born." "What have you to say about it?" he asked Brockman. "He said, "we did kindly urgely a little. Then I pushed her and all her clothes came off; and then I pushed her and she fell up against the iron lump post and bent it and got one or two other bruises when she tried to soak me in the eye with the lump. That's all." "Well, $10 and costs, that's all," said the Magistrate. They took him back. John Carter, 229 S. Durham street, said the police did a piece of slight of hand work when they found a pair of brass "knuckles" in his pocket Saturday, but the Magistrate did not agree with him and fined him $800 cool costs. Carter declared there were no "knuckles" until the police put his hand in his pocket and accused the Morgan College Dramatic Cl officer of framing him. Miss Fannie Allard, Carter's love love, came up while he was being arrested, and insisted on getting into the wagon. The officer accommodated her and brought the night in a cell beside him.

I have been following then the Afro the situation in Maryland as it effects the race. An institution at Henryton has been provided, physicians are to be better trained for early diagnosis by the clinics held and there only remains the most difficult task of all, to educate the masses so that they will be advised to seek treatment by the hospital and be cured, "it will not be so easy to forget the old layview Hospital, where they were sent not to recover, but to die. Neither will it be possible for them to realize that consumption is curable, when diagnosed early and under proper medical supervision. "Physicians, teachers, ministers as well as the public in general should see to it that the Henryton Hospital) is filled with capable and well-educated staff, a living testimony of the curability of the disease. Here at our sister institutions, we handle over 600 patients a year. 60 per cent of which leave as cured, arrested, and improved. With a tuberculosis death rate two to four times the rate of the white population, it is a big field for a joint medical and lay organization, as we have no local or national tuberculosis association for the saving of life." Dr. Day expects to return to Baltimore on a visit in June to G. A. White, principal of State Normal School, Winston Salem, N. C., is the only coached patient at Muskoka Sanitarium at present.
