Methodist Conferences Expected To Elect Seven Bishops JIM CIVIL WAR ON AMONG ELKS OF DISTRICT Columbia Lodge Threaten by Finley Wilson With Suspension Appeals to Courts INJUNCTION GRANTED Grand Exalted Ruler Must Appear in Court With Answer This Week (By Morris Brown, Washington Correspondent) Washington, D. C., Apr. 29.—The Supreme Court of the District of Columbia is asked to enjoin and restrain J. Finley Wilson. Grand Exalted Ruler, and Clarence W. Jackson. District Deputy, of the Independent Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World, from suspending Columbia Lodge No. 85. Trustees File Suit Suit was filmed in the equity division last week. It was brought by A. J. Gaskins, James E. Williams, Edward W. Bundy, Richard S. Smoot, John P. Ross, trustees, and Louise Bundy, the wife of Edward W. Bundy. Alleging that it was their information and belief that the Grand Exalted Ruler planned to suspend the lodge on April 23, the petitioners asked or an immediate order to expropel their agents from suspending, expelling, revoking the charter of, or in any manner interfering with the rights of Columbia Lodge. The court, however, issued a rule returnable May 2nd, for the defendants to show cause why the prayers of the plaintiff should not be suppressed and asked that upon the final hearing of this cause the defendants be permanently enjoined and restrained from suspending and revoking the charter of Columbia Lodge. Papers were served immediately upon District Deputy Jackson, Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson was out of the city and no service has been had upon him personally as yet. This litigation is the outgrowth of a continuous attack upon Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson by Herbert Akers, Edward W. Bundy, J. S. Chapman, and S. H. Wilkins, members of this lodge, who are opposed to his administration. They have thrown their light him, taking advantage of his membership in it to violate the laws of the order openly and dare him to suspend it. Determining to exact from his lodge the same observance of the grims Lodge laws was from other lodge members, and it on March 21, last, to show cause on or before April 22 why it should not be suspended from his lodge. He specified divers charges and points that had come to his attention. $300 for Defense The lodge met on the night of April 21. A defense committee of four lawyers and nine other members was appointed and an appropriation of $300 made.

CROW PARADE TODAY Pajama Party Is Described. Orangeburg Man Hanged to Tree With Sign Over His Head, "Crucified" BODY FULL OF HOLES Roadway Under Tree Littered with Empty Cartridge Shells Orangeburg, S. C., May 1.—Luke Adams, 30, lynched here Easter Sunday night, was found hanging to a tree out 13 miles from the city with a placard above his head, "Crucified." The body was riddled with bullets and was swinging by the side of a young gum tree to which the victim had been tied, evidently before being shot to death. A cotton rope, resembling a plow line, was tied around his right wrist and the other end was tied to the tree at such a height as to cause the body to be extended with the feet on the ground but not in such a position as to enable it to double up. The body was on the right side of the road going towards Norway. A piece of soiled and partly torn cardboard about 12 or 15 inches long and six or eight inches wide was found on the ground near the body and on this cardboard were the following words: "theCEPTION and the DECEPTION marks need, as spelled in the following manner: "This is the right One crushed, by allegous." The handwriting was legible but was not very good. The word "crushed" brought out the comment that the lynching occurred on Easter Sunday night. A cross was found carved in the tree just above the rope tied there. It was impossible to tell just how many holes had been shot into the man. There were a large number of bullet holes in the lower part of the victim's right leg the victim might have thrown his head back when the shots were fired. Only one or two bullet holes applied to be the great portion of the dead body on the rope for many hours. The Negro wore a suit of overalls and had on socks and shoes. That guns and pistols were used by the lynchers was indicated by the discovery of a large number of empty gun shells and empty pistol cartridges in the road near the Negro. It seems that the Negro was tied to the tree and then freed after a few minutes off several yards to or near the other side of the road, a distance of about 15 or 20 feet. Adams Bad Man Adams was known in this community as a "bad man" and had been arrested several times for assault and petty crimes. He was arrested Saturday evening before dark on the charge of attacking a white woman and carried to the Norway Guard House, from which he was removed by the mob. The woman did not see the man who attacked her and no effort was made at an identification. More Segregation Cases in D. C. Washington, D.

PAJAMA PARTY EXPOSE LEADS TO DIVORCE Walter Caulk Wins Decree When He Tells of His Wife's Escapades PASTOR CO-RESPONDENT Husband Declares Mrs. Caulk Admitted Intimacies With Rev. Lane Claiming that he caught his wife coming from the home of "Rev. Mr. Lane," late one night, Walter Caulk, 1021 N. Gilmor street, was granted an absolute divorce in Circuit Court Friday. "The Rev. Mr. Lane, according to Caulk is Rev. T. Wesley Lane, 1300 N. Carey street, whom he named as correspondent in divorce proceedings brought against Mrs. Mazie Caulk, his wife, through the law firm of Davis and Evans. Watcher Preacher's House Caulk testified that on several occasions he watched the house of Rev. Mr. Lane, and that one night last September he saw Mrs. Caulk emerge from the back gate at a late hour. "I got after her," he stated and we had it then and there. She owned up to it. "Do you mean to say your wife admitted intimacy with the minister?" Caulk was asked. "She did he continued, and on another day I watched the house and saw my wife through the window in a night dress." Tells of Joy Rides James Caulk, brother of the complainant, also stated that he saw Rev. Mr. Lane visit Mrs. Caulk as late as 2 n. m., and that she was often out riding in the Reverend's car. Relating conversations with the Coulks, he stated that the former told her that Rev. Mr. Lane was her gentleman friend and that she did not want her husband any more. The Caulks were married August 19, 1919, and separated in May, 1920. Rev. Mr. Lane is the pastor of the Mt. Joy Church on Stricker street.

"Well, I saw him going in her house about 1:30 in the morning and I have seen him going in there as late as two o'clock in the morning, and also during the day.

OUR BOYS PUT AT END OF PARADE 1,500 From Public Schools and Many Organizations Compelled to March In the Rear MAYOR IS INTERESTED Tells Afro He Is Trying to Work Out Some Method of Avoiding This Insult Their big brothers did not march in the rear ranks in 1918, but 1,500 boys of the public school and others from the Boy Scouts, Y. M. C. A., and such organizations will bring up the rear in the annual Boys' Week parade thru the city streets today. That is providing Mayor Jackson is unable to effect a last minute change in the committee's plans. The Mayor said yesterday he was endeavoring to work out some plan to avoid this insult to the entire black population of the city. First notice of the "jim crow" parade was made in the AFRO last week, when the School Board passed a resolution making it obligatory upon 1,500 children from the colored schools to take a part in the parade and march in the last division. Dr. West Passes Buck Protest of this arrangement made to several members of the Board, elicited the reply that the matter was in the hands of Superintendent West. Dr. AFRKO passed the buck to George R. Cullis, head of Boys' Week festivities, with offices in the American Building. Mr. Cullis gave a reporter the following plans of organization of the parade: Division—White public, private, and parochial schools. veterans Division-White organizations, Boy Scouts, Y. M. C. A., Mt. Training School, etc. 3rd Division—Colored public and private schools, and colored organizations. Should be Glad of Jim Crow In a letter to the Federated Parent-Teachers Clubs, which also protested the jim crow arrangements, Mr. Callis wrote that the colored people should be glad to be in their pride, so as to be all together among their own kind, and make a good impression. When his attention was called to the fact that last year all public school children, white and colored, marched in the same division, and all parochial school children marched in their division while the colored and white organizations marched in their division, Mr. Catlett insisted for this year he had been made out and there would be no change. School Children Drilling All during the week boys of the public schools, under their teachers, were drilling in the streets, little knowing that they were going to march in a jim crow parade. Teachers, when their attention was called to it, were surprised at the committee's arrangement to allow children of parade would be followed as last year. Principals, however, were ordered to furnish so many children for the parade, and dared to dishey their instructions from Dr. West. It is expected that many will fall out of line when they find they are to bring up the rear. The protest of the Federated Parent Teachers Association filled with the Mayor and Mr. Callis called attention to the fact that many children determined solely on the ground of race, and there was no good reason why all public school children should not march in the same division, and all private or parochial school children in their division. Efforts to get the school authorities to remove the compulsion from the schools and make it optional upon the pupils as to whether they shall parade or not, were unavailing. Ministers Denounce Parade Ministers of the United Baptist Conference in session at Trinity Baptist Church, denounced the plans of the jim claw parade as a disgrace to the city. At the School Board today it was stated that a number of white schools had been aggronized by art in the parade at all, because of lack of time. No protests had been filed by any of the colored schools. It was said.

He is said to be a moundsmun of no mean ability. J. H. Clarke, a college boy, who has been creating a sensation in baseball circles in the South, is likely to be seen in the Black Sox line-up soon.

Pete Hill had him examined and a doctor found the arch supporters. They were removed, and Lindsey will be able to run Sunday. MAGISTRATE FAVORS RACE POLICEWOMEN In an interview which will appear in next weeks' AFRG-AMERICAN, Magistrate Stanford, retiring magistrate of the Central Police District, unreservedly favors the men as aids in proper regulation of dance halls and other public places.

Schubert's "Sorcerer," Soprano, and Soprano's sister from a modern French opera, sang for the first time in America, a group of Negro Spirituals, a humorous child's ditty "Big Brown Bear," charmingly sung and the weed "Night Wind" by Farley, all cooked tumultuous demands for repetitions from Madame Cole-Talbert. Her interpretation of "Fairest Daughter of the Graves" from "Female Rigidity," and a quaint little conceit, definitely played "The Scarrow," gave ample opportunity for the display of style, brilliant, clear, and a wonderful power of interpretation. The audience was large, attractive, and most generous in the besteward of the concert was under the combined auspices of Morgan College and Sharp Street Community House.

Page Two KLAN AN ISSUE IN TWO STATES Atlantic City, May 1.—The Ku Klux Klan is an issue in the political light between forces of Mayor or Edward L. Bader and former Mayor Harry Eacharach. In a statement issued last week Mayor Bader called upon Eacharach to discover the support of the Ku Klux Klan. The Bader Klan challenge declares: "No candidate for public offices should claim the privilege of standing note when confronted with a demand that he say exactly where he stands upon a matter that has become a menace to the peace and good order of Atlantic City. Silence upon that which concerns him intimately and which if disrespectful he be the right of a defendant on trial, but it is not the right of a candidate for Mayor of this city." "I am 190 per cent against the interference of the Ku Klux Klan in Atlantic City. If I am re-elected, and I feel confident I shall be re-elected, I will have no part with these masked and robed bipolos who have joined all the virtues and privileges. The Ku Klux Klan as an organization will wield no influence at City Hall to the detriment of every other person who may have different views upon religious matters or who may be of a different race." St. Louis, Mo., Apr. 29, 2013—Unless the Republican State Convention which meets here today comes on daily against the Ku Klux Klan it will lose the support of the colored voters who have threatened to go over, wholesale, to the Democrats. George W. Buckner, former head of the Urban League, said here today: "It is the man and not the party to whom we must look in the future for justice. In the past Xenophon was a party as the ship and all else the sea. But the treatment accorded the colored people during the past years by all parties firmly convinced us no ship, but that all is sea." Henri Moe, April 29 (A.N.P.) With the death of his wife Cute, the claim is being made by residents of this town that the oldest woman in America has passed away. There was documentary evidence to prove that Mrs. Cute was 130 years old. Like many other old persons she was said to remember many of the men and events of the period soon after the revolutionary war.

The answer to the charges were received at the office of the Grand Exalted Taler on the morning of April 22 by special delivery, registered letter. He was in Ohio. But the lawyers on the defense committee did not wait for his return and consideration of the lodge's answer. They immediately filed suit for an injunction. It is said that this precipitate action was taken upon the counsel of John H. Wilson, one of the attorneys. Right to Suspend In the petition, it is admitted that section 7, article 13, of the laws of the order, has the right to suspend; but it is contended that this law is void in that it gives the Grand Exalted Ruler power to take away vast rights without due process of law. The action of the Grand Exalted Ruler in appointing a committee at the last Grand Lodge session is also attacked in the petition. It is stated that the Grand Lodge laws provide for the Lodge session days only, but that the last Grand Lodge session continued into the fourth day, on which the Grand Exalted Ruler appointed a committee authorized to expend $20,000 and bind the Grand Lodge to pay $50,000 in the purchase of a home in the State of Pennsylvania for indigenous Eks. This act, the petition says, was void, and therefore, Columbia Lodge as well as other lodges in the jurisdiction sent out circular letters registering their protests against this illegal assumption of authority and indicated its intention from the floor of the lodge meetings to oppose the proposition at the next Grand Lodge session and also oppose all candidates for re-election who sponsored this move. Conspiracy Claimed On account of the position the lodge took in this regard, the defendants, the petitioners alleged, conspired to ruin Columbia Lodge numerically and financially and to prevent its delegates from appearing at the next Grand Lodge session to be held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1881. The petitioners admit that an appeal within the order is provided for under the Grand Lodge laws by any lodge grieved. They allege, however, that such an appeal would avail them nothing. The trial committee, they allege, would be composed of the Grand Exalted Ruler, the Grand Legal Adviser and two other Grand Lodge officers. They declare that they would such an appellate body is unreasonable, that this law is void inasmuch as the property rights of the plaintiff are involved. Lodge With $28,000 Columbia Lodge is incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia. It has a membership exceeding 11,500; $17,000 in cash in bank; $1,000 in Liberty Bonds, and in bank; $1,000 in U.S. $10,500 worth of real estate. It is represented in this action by Thomas L. Jones, John H. Wilson, Louis R. Mehlinger and Charles S. Williams, District Deputy Jackson is represented by Attorney Charles J. is expected that Henry Lincoln Johnson, the Grand Legal Adviser, will represent the Grand Exalted Ruler. INDIANA BRAZIL, IND.

NAME CITY STATE Hurtig and Seamon Announce They Are Thru With Play For Keeps Originator of the "Lafayette Players" Sings the Blues About Fickle Theatregoer By Kenneth Williams Hurtig and Seaman, a trade publication, announces "Toscaume" will not start again. Further, the article quotes Mr. Robert Levy, the pioneer producer of the Negrite Pictures, by viewers, and the Real Pictures, as saying that he is also off colored amusement ventures for keeps. His plaint is that Negro amusement buyers are sickle and possessed of a peculiar psychic complex, and that they preferred t opatronize the guliders of which he was the master. We appreciate the service of Mr. Levy in giving the financial backing that helped develop latent dramatic talent that would have perhaps lain dormant for a while longer. But we cannot but remark that Mr. Levy was not a philanthropist, nor in the game for Negro culture. He, like all theatrical ventures, went into the gamble with the knowledge that the chances were equal for winning or losing. This element of chance is no more acute in Negro theatre-goers than in any other. The "cat is let out of the bag" at the end of the article, when Mr. Levy states that when he entered the business he encountered Jno. Gibson and three other men who had acquired handsome bank balances from the colored amusement game. Thus, according to our reasoning, we gather that had he deplicated the successes of these tour he would have had to have a tractorable and all right. Mr. Levy adds this sage and witty observation. "The colored show patron is the craftiest since Noah's wife went to buy her rainproof bathrobe." We cannot but coincide with the latter statement, but since promoters go into these ventures on their own initiative and with their eyes wide open, why try, to lash the "poor colored people" into paying for what they do not want? They earn their money and will pay a big tax to buy them please regardless of Mr. Robert Levy or anyone else. For where they have passed you by, dear sir, others have given them what they wanted, and that is what they'll pay for. IN NEW YORK By J. A. Jackson W. Davis Smith, the dramatic reader, accompanied by Jesse Cooper and Agnes Johnson, are making presentations in Ithaca, Auburn and other upstate cities. Florence Wilkins was the centerpiece of the coterie of adductors, W. E. B. DuBois was among the guests. We learn that Evon Robinson is to star a new show, Leony Wilkins is reported to be the inductee. The show will be adequately financed, for Leony has "ducks" is a good business man, and has a reputation for big scale promotions. When the show that made the Club Alabam famous on West 41st street among the Broadwayites are appearing on a big bill at the Lafayette Theater. Its a big program for harlem. Billy Page's "Broadway Syncoparts" from the Capitol Palace Club drew a packed house at the Y. M. C. Theater, where the original music in which the original orchestra of New York have responded to the request of the "Y" for music is a beautiful exhibition of the spirit of the show-folks for worthwhile entertainment. On April 25 the Bretton Hall Boys Club staged their annual Easter Dance at New Star Casino. Vincent Lopez and his orchestra shared hustle and energy on the orchestra. Besides that Smith and his band made a trip to Harrisburg, Pa., where they set the natives wild with their harmonies. "Cincinnati Dream," T. M. Lawson's song is taking on a new vigor, according to the composer who has rewritten it with the Playmore Record Mfg. Co. The Debutants Annual Show By J. A. Jackson New York, April 23rd — On Wednesday, April 23rd, the Debutantes, one of New York's most famed social organizations, gave their annual gala at the Lafayette Theatre, under the chaperoneage of Mrs. Lucille Randolph, and the stage direction of Robert Slater, the veteran showman and secretary of the C. V. B. A. "Bob" has staged both of the annual presentations of the club. Possibly the outstanding feature of the show is the name Jones, a Columbus, Ohio, girl, who is a graduate of the Vestoff and Serova School of Dancing in New York. She is grace personified, a fact that is at once evident. She has been considered for several big broadway productions and will without doubt soon grace some important attraction, for she has merit. Her interpretation of "I Love You" is a rhapsody, her Indian number, a thing of beauty, and the toe dancing quite unusual. She would be a real addition to any program. There is a little Miss Cinderella who takes the command a place on the stage when she wills. The Debentuties are a credit to their stage director, and to their community. "Steppin Up" On May 21, "Happy" Holmes and Jesse Gines opened at the Supreme Theatre in Brooklyn with a company of 25 people in a piece called "Steppin-up".

The operetta "Little Red Riding Hood" to be staged at the Regent Theatre on Saturday morning, May 10th, deserves the patronage of the theatre will accommodate. More movements of this kind under the supervision of those who have the interests of the colored children at heart should be fostered. Amusements properly designed to head off that, which we agree, is having a weakening effect on the younger ones. Those commercially interested are not doing their full share in seeing that their procreation is not a little litch if they are creeping in too many of the public places of amusement. Apropos the above we would like to suggest that a children's matinee of pictures be made a part of the colored house. There is a lot of this character of picture. We are aware that there are a number of projection machines that seven pictures in the school buildings, but they are not adequate to care for. We should not out of those shows that are only intended for adults. Well, I do write again and inform the profession of the progress of the Colored Actors, Union, the largest organization for Sunday, May the 4th.

Page O, Mischeaux THE AFRO-AMERICAN fect a booking and distributing organization in order that we may have more colored films. The propaganda spread by pictures with all white casts always "glorify the fellow of the other race." By a skillful use of well calculated "hoke melodrama" they are subtly teaching us that they are superior. In adolescent minds these facts stick, and all mature minds are not strong enough to withstand this implication. To be specific, one popular release, that has been extensively shown around the country, has one of the characters speak thus, "White men are being murdered in the castle by those black devils." (The black devils were East Indians.) Soon after these heroic words a British warship appears and disperses the East Indians, and though the crew of the ship was an all white one, the colored folks clapped vociferously. The influence of the devilishly conceived "Birth of a Nation" will not be soon counteracted. Mistake not, we are not censuring, but along with other things that touch our lives in America, both of the above were idealized by being painted and labeled white. Hence it is high time that we erect some shrines to combat this idea, and at which we may worship ourselves. Travis Tucker is now the sole owner of the "Dixie Ramblers Revue." This is a company of twelve people. The Pittsburgh writers praised the production without stint. Well it may be that the own horn yet cannot but truthfully say that every Baltimore recruit, to the ranks of the thespians, has made good with a vengeance, with very few exceptions. "Hop" Boston "Hop" Boston the one-legged dancing marvel, tells us that he is about to begin his carnival season. He produced a letter from Lizzie Sheehy, known to the profession as the "Dixie Rambler," expressing the desire that he join her company. A quaint character is this old trouper, and with a game sport, the loss of an important member has been turned to good account. Maryland folks who live in Annapolis will read with surprise that there is now an enlisted band of Negroes in the military, and their generations accustomed to the little Marine Bands that have always been a part of a war-ship company. This band is composed of Negroes from Danish West Indies, which now fly the Stars and Stripes. Alton A. Adams' the band-master, is well-known by leading musicians of the United States. A tour of the States is contemplated with the structures and selections from "Tenmahuser," "William Tell," and "Oberon." The patron of the band is Captain William Russell, U. S.

A. Jackson. The fellows who produced "7-11" last year, a little musical comedy that had real entertainment merit, but failed to get anywhere near the break it deserved, are an optimistic crowd; and they are desperately determined to be producers. They have unmistakable talent, every one of them, with a reinforcement of the most uncanny ability to assemble the essentials of a show with very little capital. "Hit and Run," the second of their musical comedies opened at the Lafayette Theater in New York on April 14 for a week. It was a good show. While the theme is not new, it is vehicle enough to carry the songs and familiar anties of "Speedy" Smith, one of the few blackface comedians with ability enough to carry the comedy element of a show directly unassisted. Andy Tribleb of course, contributes very greatly to the sum total of the fun; but then Andy is Andy, and not just a part of the production he happens to cruse. It is in character delinquents that the show excels. Al Young's "Italian Characterization" Sam Cook in several characters and Marion Davis, a recent graduate from the rus ranks, as a Mexican; and others in different type portraits simply apply the group is really delighting artistically. Estelle Floyd and Sterling Grant are the vocal surprises of the production. It was a treat to hear "Smiles" and "Marchetta," albeit, the comic spoiled the latter a bit by pantomining thru the number, some extent detracting the attention of the audience. In all fairness, however, this was "Speedy's" only doubled. Molton and Brown worked the show effectively and that fellow can really lend distinction to uniform; and in one, during the second they sidied themselves as a team with the usual happy results. The 12 chariers, while obviously new, have youth and great willingness. They compare grasped with the average show with the added value expected improvement as she draws more mature. The show is in two jets and eight scenes during which 24 songs and four dance specialties are offered, one of the latter being by Johnny Nitt, the little peer of all dancers, another, Charles of all dancers, another, Kate of all dancers, Kate of all dancers, Garland Howard and Marion Davis put over a Fandango in great fashion. Barrington Carter surprises those who know him with an excellent village constable and, does a "Rube" dance that is a knockout. Cook is the best dancer, numbers 10 is by Garland Howard. Others in the cast are, George Myrick, Charles Young and Mamie Lewis, with Robert Slater caring for the business in front. Howard, Cook, Smith and Carter are the owners. The show is fast enough to be luscious, if it be too embittered and is good enough for the musical comedy houses as it is. It deserves a chance. Bessie Coleman, the colored girl who has been presenting herself as an avatatrix for the past two seasons, and who has in that time accumulated a long list of incomplete contracts, and an almost as lengthy list of managers and agents has according to recent information added the names of Ireland Thomas and M. C. Washington to the latter string. David Daley has succeeded the latter in the handling of the film and personal appearance of the young woman, and we understand that Washington has not added to his prestige in Ohio by his experiences with the temperamental avatatrix.

About a month ago the Glee Club of School No. 112 visited School No. 110 and rendered a program. Friday, April 25, the visit was returned by the Glee Club of No. 110.

The gala Friday closed with the conference of parents and teachers of grades 5 to 8. The parents were entertained by a group of fifth grade children, who gave a dramatization up to 10 minutes of memorable ride of Paul Revere of revolutionary fame.

Duncan will speak: "From Cabin to 5-21-18" Theatres 0 REGENT Vodivil and Pictures Joe Bird and Billy Ewing, with clever assisting principals, and a slightly section of charities, are holding up the vaudeville end at the Regent. Grace Smith and Elsie Bird have the grace for female parts and fill the bill for cleverness and looks. "Land of Cotton Blues," secured Miss Smith several recalls. Billy Ewing is as ever, an acceptable straight. Joe Bird and "Short," "Tally" are the comics. A duet by Bird and Bird went over forte. Added甜蜜 touch is added the proceedings by Crawley, a contortionist. Since his last local appearance, this young man has added many new beads, dislocations and teats of balancing to his repertoire. A cleverly unique feature was the playing of a clarinet while in an upside down position. "The customers and said so in no uncreative manner. Viola Williams, a Baltimorean, earned deserved applause for a well warbled number. Baby Doris face lace over her last week, stopping her. Her popularity being as evident as before. Johnny Stevens hasn't much to do and does it nicely. Libby Robinson, Gladys Foster, Holly Wallace, Louise Jones and Pearl Saunders are the animated chirlers. LINCOLN Vodivil and Pictures Every once in a while Manager Black, of the Lincoln, extends himself, and puts over an exceptionally good bill. Lonnie Fisher's company, the Jazz attraction is the exception this week. Opening in full stage, a four piece jazz band accompanies a "red hot" potpourri of songs and foot action by the best looking and most untroubled chorus to appear here this season. The curtain-riser is followed by a number in which William Sledge, the drummer, unlossses a mixture of aerodrills, drumming, and dancing that wavers the 'emprise' this by laying down the face of admission. Lennio Fisher and Onejie Jones prove themselves a comedy combination that can get the baughs without resorting to any questionable material. Blanche Lyons, Willie Singleton, Myrtle Hugg, and Louise Polly are the soubrettes. Marie Robinson, the top-gowns worn by this group in the closing numbers are dazzling affairs. George Tilford plays a saxophone Robert Barge, piano, and Fisher, tenor banjo, forming a four piece outfit with the drummer, that is the equa of any similar band playing the saxophone and certainly deserves preferment when the plan for classifying acts is completed. STAR Sam Rhodes and his "Daffydd Girls," appearing here this week won instant favor from the large number of patrons Tuesday evening. Rhodes takes the larger burden of the laugh getting upon his own shoulders and gets away with it admirably. As in the piece presented at the Lincoln last week, he a number of situational creations that offer new opportunities for muth and harmony, mixed in just the right degree to prevent one from becoming bored. Viola Dorsey and the choristers evoked hearty enthusiasm in a well staged singing number. Emmanuel Taylor, a two-toned singer, did his bit in a solo song in soprano and baritone. The house liked it. Gladys Robino, a girl with a corpulent breast with two well played numbers. The young lady, neat, and pretty, in her talking scenes with Rhodes, showed that she has all the elements necessary for achieving a place among the higher ups in the profession. Altogether a pleasing little entertainment unit, to which the customer behz Wonderland Park Though good weather is still an elusive article, Wonderland Park can boast of two profitable days thus far. Easter Sunday brought about 3,000 pleasureseekers to the amusement resort, and on last Sunday it is estimated 3,000 passed through the turn-stiles. All of the former attractions are now in working order, "The Whip," "Fun House," and the new structured "Shooting Star." By Sunday next it is expected that the "Galoparade" the new ride will be in operation. The park is about to take on a mid-summer appearance, many concessionaires having moved in, and now city lights have been installed. The A. Jack Thomas Band of 75 musicians, will be in attendance as on former Sundays. It is also expected that the new board-walk will be completed in time for week-end visitors. A big free act, Crawley, the "Boy Without A Bone," will be the extra feature beginning this week. It is possible that a big free attraction will soon be ready for the patrons' amusement. From the list of religious, fraternal and other organizations that have booked dates, prospects seem bright for the big walk to be a winner. "Little Johnny Jones," coming to the Dunbar on Monday, May 15th, is a comedy-drama, in which the imitative Johnny Hinds hands you one laugh after another. The story is an adaptation of the play of that character, in contrast to most comedies made for the screen from this source, the screen version is equal to the original. Indeed, the verdict of the fans is that the picture, and the comedy of Hines is superior to "Conductor 1492." Other features on the program for this week promise to be equally entertaining. The chapter-plays "Flight Hiking," "The Kidnapping Skipper," William Dunne and Edith Johnson in "The Fast, Express," and "The Way of a Man," will also be important portions of the week's program. he man with the talking record out is the "Roamin' H-m-m-m!

This Fox special production deals with a phase of life which touches close to the dangers besetting the home. The plans of a designing young woman take the place with the faithful wife of an elderly millerate are laid bare, and the consequences of a man's folly are revealed with compelling truthfulness. The opening scenes show the security and calm of the erring man's life while he is content with the path of despair to fulfill his desire this family. The contrasting scenes, after he has yielded to temptation and permitted his new wife to surround herself with her "fast" friends and given her lover the run of the house, throw a strong dramatic light on the story; the question asked by the title "Does Fool?" is answered with telling effect. At the head of the cast of skilled players is Hope Hampton. In the character of the fascinating teenager given an opportunity to do some of the strongest acting of her career, Robert T. Haines has the leading mate ARGONNE Manager Ralph Williams, of the Argonne Theatre, is presenting a bang-up picture program for the week beginning Monday, May 5th.

Engagements were few and applicants many. Among those who sought to keep the war from their door by using their histrionic ability were two young colored actors, Sydney Easton and Jimmy Stewart. After a discussion of ways and means, a partnership was formed, which is the present team of Easton and Stewart. Both those fellows were experienced trouppers, so they knew that in order to gain recognition and a much needed salary, they would be obliged to present something new. A happy solution presented itself, however, for Stewart was an adept performer on a freak violin that he constructed from a cigar box and a guitar string. Easton was a pianist, so a musical umbrella suggested that his piano was always available to use on the stage of the smaller houses. Easton bought an old reed parlor organ, and from its parts constructed a miniature instrument himself. The first week's engagement proved an artistic triumph and a financial success. After a tour of the colored territory the team was given the go-ahead by the Musical Curial of Burlesque shows. With the addition of some talk that has to do with a doughnut, the act remains essentially the same as when it was "broken in" at the Star Theatre on Monument street in this city. Easton is the composer of the popular song, "sawway," which his discography recorded, with another number, for the Oleh Record Company. The act has two years to run at the salary of $290.00 a week and transportation. Quite liberal compensation of a few dollars more, for their billing calls them "Two Fools and a Doughnut."

BRAGG The fight for better school buildings and schools, and school buildings by colored children, in the city of Baltimore, was begun after the close of Civil War. Quite naturally, the colored ministers in the movement. It was not a political appeal, but a response to the inescapability of the dominant race in the city for a "square deal." What had been attained previous and up to the year, 1855, by the school situation at that period. Some few years previous to 1855, an ordinance had been adopted by the City Council, providing for the establishment of colored children should be freed by colored teachers. By such ordinance, "The Board of School Commission, in all colored schools in all colored schools to be hereafter established and in all colored schools in any territory hereafter annexed to Baltimore city, to appoint teachers of such public schools to race as instructors in colored youths; provided that they be shown by examination or such other tests as is applied to white moral and intellectual qualifications therefor." Saturies Mode Equal And it is interesting to note, also, that it was provided, "The salaries paid to such colored teachers shall be equal to those now paid to white teachers for similar salaries." In 1892 an ordinance nearly identical with that providing for the Polytechnic Institute was adopted creating a Manual Training School for colored ordinance was drafted and children." introduced by the late Harry S. Cummings, and it was promptly signed by the late Ferdinand C. the Democratic Mayor of Baltimore. In the meantime, especially thru the long and unearned labors of the late Rev. Dr. George L. Staley, the Colored School was principal, had been initiated, and be, and his small faculty, were honestly and faithfully endowing to turn out sufficient graduates to meet the ex-requiring colored teachers in colored schools hereafter established. 172 White, 34 Colored Teachers The year 1895 found the following condition of affairs, pertaining to the three colored teachers of the 996 teachers of colored children. One hundred and seventy-two were white, and 34 were colored. Carleton and Riggs avenue was the colored school which contained the greater number of the 34 colored teachers. Twenty-four teachers were white, and 12 under the principalship of Miss Fannie Barber. The remaining 100 were "Annes schools," schools that were formerly in Baltimore county, but which had been brought into the city through annexation. Edmondson avenues was one such school with Mr. George B. Murphy principal and teacher. On the Fredrickson avenues, there were Amie O. Waters, principal, with two additional teachers. On Two and a half street, just beyond North avenue, was another, with Mr. Garland, principal and five additional teachers. At this time the highest amount of salary paid to any colored teacher was $300 a year. The average salary for a colored teacher year. There were only three night schools for colored pupils. Two of these were taught by white children by Mr. George B. Murphy, assisted by three or four other teachers. Democrats Aided Schools Let it be noted, simply as his historical fact, whether much or little change in the way schools came directly through Democratic administrations. This is an important notation because during the Civil War, schools was a great political "revolution." Revolution of 1895 During the fall of 1895 the political control, both of the city and State, passed entirely from the Democratic to the Republican party, even over the state. In 1896 a campaign in Maryland. It is scarcely necessary to say that the 50,000 colored voters of the State gave their solid and enthusiastic support to the Republican and with it said Lloyd Lowndes was elected Governor of Maryland, with a Republican house and senate. In the city of Baltimore Alcacea Hooper was elected Mayor, with both houses of the City Council Republican. enthusistician party, oweses was yland, with senate. In while the most record plainly indicates that Democratic administrations have done far more for the advancement of our educational interests than Republican administrations, yet, after all, it was not so with both council Republacter of the administration, as it was the genuine character of the men who administered affairs. And such is the point of all points that need to be driven home to the hearts of hundreds of every member of our group had come The colored people would have been less than human had they not expected some amelioration of race and gender, and the reality of the party which had come into power through their support. And it is utterly impossible for any intelligent colored man who was actually white to be successful in the harmful and faulting treatment our group received at the hands of the Republican party while it exercised power and authority in city and State. The late Dr. J. Marcus Cargill was elected, in the same election, to the city council from the colored ward. Dr. Cargill drafted and introduced an ordinance which white teachers in the colored schools were eliminated and colored teachers substituted in their places. Dr. Cargill fought bravely against a combination of foe which it is difficult for the preset a generation of our group to imagine but for few years it will be hard for any singer desire in the matter. Then, under a "Republican" school board, issued a policy of evasion and circumcision, for quite two years until the first practice step was completed. And even this was under the pressure of the continued agitation of the friends of the measure, and the near approach of another minister, John Browne, in 1838 the East Street School, formerly taught by white teachers, was turned over to a staff of colored teachers, with Mr. H. Griffin Brown and Miss Georgine K. Kelly, principals. Democrats Beat Malster Although both under Hager and Malster, they were the most shortly reinstated in the election of 1839, like Ephrum joined to his idle, they almost unanimously indented their own humiliation by voting for Malster, who never was a character of the men there was a scant remnant of the black group who had the courage to rebuke the humiliation of their group, Thomas Gaden Hayes, Thomas Gaden Hayes, Thomas Gaden Hayes, Skowith Wilmer and, Mr. Smith. Happily, the new charter went in, to effect with this new Democratic administration. The old School board of about eight or nine, and Mr Hayes, early in his administration, appointed this new Board, headed it also were such as Mr. Pickard on it, also, were former Mayor Hooper, Charles E. Evans and Rabbi Rosenau. Despite the fact that this Democratic administration was unquestioned, support, it is a positive fact that in making up the Board the Mayor seriously considered appointing a colored man as member of such Board. Poly and Hil Merged. The real upward change in the character and efficiency of the colored schools dates with the appointment of Mr. Pickard to the particular School Board, made up of high-class and fair-minded men, set at once, not to the task of putting colored teachers in the primary schools, but it was the source of supply of colored teachers. Because of the excessive high cost of the Colored Manual Training School, largely due to the inappreciation of the colored people generalist, the school has plans to justify its continuance, in consolidated the Manual Training School with the Colored High School and removed the High School from the dorm quarters on Saratoga Island, Savannah avenue and Dolphin street. It then decided that this new amalgamated High and Manual Training School should be offered entirely from top to bottom, by a competents colored faculty. It then proceeded to recruit a new colored men in the entire country for its head-Hugh M. Brown, and aided with his advice, a full faculty was soon secured. The wonderful and magnificent impression made by Prof. Brown on the Board, with the remarkable work of the colored faceless men in the school, filled all the successive steps in progress inevitable. Our chief concern should be to use all our influence in getting into such places men of the very highest qualifications, character and personal honor. THE AFRO-AMERICAN SOUTH'S BIGGEST AND BEST WEEKLY White Teachers Fight To Remain The Democratic minority, under the leadership of Mr. Michael Braun, fought most vigorously but also "the jobs" for the white teachers. A surprising amount of opposition manifested itself among large sections of the school board, short shirts and slogans that colored teachers could be secured who were thoroughly competent to take the phases of the white teacher's job. "Mr. Carroll's bill was amended and altered until very little was left in it," but altered and amended it passed, was signed by Mayor Hooper, and Democrats Beat Malster Poly and HI Merged High Type School Board What rules did the Apostle Paul give for right living?—Colossians 3:17.

H. SPORTS ARE AID TO CHURCH WORK But Religious Groups General Are Slow To Take Advantage Of It MANY LEAGUES FORMED The whole country has long since awakened and realized the advantages of sports, not merely as a means of recreation, but as a means of physical development. Sports have made a tremendous rise and are widely recognized as one of nature's greatest assets. Colleges, universities, and schools the world over are stressing the importance of physical education. Physical education is none other than sports for sports; provide the means for physical education. The things that the churches are in accord with and endorse, usually pinch the success. But on the other hand the things that the churches are adverse to, usually cause to thrive and promote a stop backwards or a stop of progress. Some of them are realizing the importance young of the community, the fallen in the other elevate spaces. The churches are in the work for the cause of better phys- queens. Rasslems have lived into gymnasiums, physical directors offices on the campus and in casual classrooms. Rasslems were not available, gymnasiums were erected separate and independent of the church, supported by them. When the churches assume the responsibility for that thing will survive. Most of the churches are slow in grouping the importance and meaning of sports; what is important to the boys and girls of their immediate communities. They still think that sports have not advanced from the old primitive state and that athletes are rough neck kids. They are not being true. The state that athletic sports have reached now, makes it exceedingly hard for other than gentlemen to remain in the running. The gentlemen have entered and made it what it is. Out of these, a vast number of them are stunner church members and coers. The Sunday school boy is not the angelic kind. They are be men and like rough invigorating The church athlete is highly regarded. Not only as a good athlete but as a clean sportsman and gentleman. Church teams have high in league trophies when and are with other than churches. Many Sunday school leagues have been formed in such sports as: Baseball, volley ball, basketball, soccer football, ball and tennis. This allows prove the wonderful things our coaches can do for the younger people. When all of the churches assume a broader attitude towards sports, our men of tomorrow will be better men, because one of the things we public opinion fostered the thing which enabled them to be better men; but as long as the churches remain indolent in regards to sports, the mighty influence of the game will have a still harder time in recruiting boys a great group of boys will be our men group of tomorrow with under-developed bodies.

Langston Street, where a distribution at a dance there. Seven patrol wagons, including vehicles commanded for the purpose, making 40 trips converged the men and women to the station and officers were busy from 11:30 p. m. to 5 a. m. taking the names and collecting $970 collateral paid in. SENDS IROT SALL The trouble at the hall started when George Scott, 128 Colvin street, seriously cut James Paschell, 1018 Pennsylvania Avenue, when the dance partnership of a girl. This night brought officers Mitchell and Laurence of the Western District, to the scene, who stated that when they entered the place they heard a revolver fired. Unable to get from one in charge of the police to the shot the officers decided to "pull" the place. Then the procession to the station house began. WAS ANNUAL LADIES' NIGHT The occasion for the dance was ladies night of the Silver Springs Pleasure Club, Inc., and they had invited numerous other pleasure clubs from the East side to take part in the feast. The officers of the affair and at the time of the raid by the officers the hall was taxed to its capacity with daily attired men and women. Names on the police docket showed that the guests came from practically every section of the city and compiled ages from 16 to 63. MUCH WHISKEY IN EVIDENCE When the usual search at the stables was more officers took from pocket baskets those arrested 50 half pint bottles filled or partially filled with bootleg whiskey. Knives, a number of razors and four rabbits' feet also were among the effects taken from the crowd. The whiskey is said to come from the neighborhood, and was sold by colored runners. Taken on a whole, however, the crowd seemed to have been composed of the orderly group of working people usually found at such gatherings. Many of them came back to the station Tuesday hoping to get back the $2.45 deposited as collateral. When Magistrate Johnson, however, ever added an additional fine on the first two payments at the hearing, he was no more requests for collateral and the $750 comprising the collateral for the entire party was forfeited. Besides more than 25 estimated to have escaped, 295 men and 291 women were deferred for trial Tuesday. MANY WEEP Lexington and Pine streets were crowded as the patred wagons pitched back and forth with their loads. Some of the girls broke down and had to be carried to the patred by their escorts. Others were laughing and with persons on the sidewalk, while two or three were noticeably drunk. The last wagon carried officials of the social club and the tickets and money they had collected. At the station house, police were both to admit two AFIO reporters, "because they might get mixed up." Captain Cole and the Police were roundly scored by many witnesses of the raid. They declared that proper race policemen of Hoewens and Registrate city dance halls would have made such a spectacle unnecessary. SAY—MISTER?

Smith, He Calls At The Afro Office And The City Hall WEST DOES NOT JIM CROW Boys' Week Parade Like Ours Would Not Be Possible In Chicago Robert S. Abbott, editor and publisher of the Chicago Defender, was in the city Wednesday as the guest of Thomas R. Smith. He was a cater at the APRO office, was introduced to Mayor Jackson at the City Hall, and returned to Washington in the afternoon, where he is stopping at the Whitehall. My Abbott has been ordered to take a rest by his physician, and is in the East in search of his health. "I started a little over a decade ago with a quarter," he said, "and built up a newspaper with a circulation of 265,000. With 15,400,000 Negroes in this country, the city could be some race weekly with a million circulation. "That time is coming." Listening to the talk about a jim crow "Boys Week parade in Baltimore for Thursday, Mr. Abbott said, "We do not have that kind of thing in Chicago, because in the management of the program, some of the leading executives have been on the committee, and they would have seen to it that our rights are safeguarded. There we do things together, not as separate races." Mr. Abbott looked over the AFRO plant where workmen are busy connecting two dwellings on Eutah street side with the main building, and approved the completed foundations for the 32-page Hoe rotary press that is expected to arrive sometime this month. He said, the Defender is contemplating adding two stories to its Chicago building in order to give space for the present offices. An early hall for meetings is to be added, and roof garden where band concerts by the newsletters can be staged. --- STREET PREACHER LOVES POKER Down at 1126 Orleans street is located the Church of God Mission, with Rev. John E. Smallwood in charge. During the winter, he says he has fed and given a night's lodging to as many as eighty men, some of whom there by the day. Religious services are held at the mission every night and the homeless men are hidden to attend. Out in West Baltimore there is a preacher who works all the week and preaches in the streets on Sundays. He is one of the few people played the races, gambled on foot races, played on estrich races, and I never failed to work during the week, and it is nobody's business about my preaching on Sunday," he told an interested group. "Let's make it a game of draw poker," suggested someone, "or 'no, no.'" quickly responded the preacher, and the game was on in a jiffy.

It has arranged a regular and inexpensive schedule for both teams and teams. It placed the players of the various teams not under restrictions but impressed upon them the absolute necessity for organization which is the one essential factor for the progress of a nation. It has endeavored to impress upon the players the respect due constituting an amusement for both the boys and girls of the community which is a very vital factor in determining the progress of a people of the present day. It has fostered a spirit of emulation rather than envy; each team trying to surpass the other thru efforts of merited competition. It has brought about close friendship among many boys of the city and taught them self-control and obedience, three things that are in- Eastern Police Station, and the suit a joke to raid Good Hope off some 400 dancers to the suit of it.

NEW TREATMENT FOR HAYFEVER Last year, a number of persons who applied to Dr. E. M. Boyle, the Carolina State football season hayfever and asthma could not be treated because they applied too late in the season; others who were greatly helped did not gin their treatment efficiently early benefits therefrom. But to be relieved of all symptoms of seasonal hayfever and asthma, skin tests must be made and the treatment indicated before the time for the attacks. Last summer, millions of suffering people the country over were greatly benefited by this new treatment free treating animals inaugurated at the University in the country. To Dr. I. Chandler Walker of Harvard, the credit of this new treatment is due, and under him Dr. Boyle completed the courses for comedians annoying and sometimes fatal attacks and asthma in the summer of 1922. Those who, therefore, suffer from seasonal hayfever and asthma will do well by consulting Dr. Boyle or any specialist before it is advertised.

JULIAN DISAPPOINTS WONDERLAND CROWD JULIAN DISAPPOINTS WONDERLAND CROWD Uses Souphax instead of Parachute To Entertain Resort Visitors Crowds of pleasure-scooters who expected to see Lieutenant Hunter Julian perform a death-defying parachute jump at Wonderland Park on Easter Sunday, were disappointed. An attendant at the park exhibited to the high wind prevented the expected stunt. From the same source it was learned that the Lieutenant was advanced a sum of money, said to be $80 to defray his expenses to Philadelphia, and to return with his paraphernalia. The Lieutenant offered to secure a place and a prize, and to make a presentation Sunday, and mandated further compensation. This the management refused, it is reported, taking the sound that a consideration was due them for the money thus far advanced. It is said that the aeronaut appealed to the owners of the park, and that a younger Bryars and entire charge of all bookings, and that they were solidly behind him. As a last resort the Lieutenant mounted a soap-box, delivered a speech, and was given a small collar around the crowd that was attracted.

Sometimes they were able to show in orderly procedure; sometime it tries and revolution; but the process is ever constantly going towards human perfection are driving us there. Now that the United Railways have thrown out its smoke screen of increased fares with the evident purpose of preventing any serious consideration of lowering them as should be done, it would be a good idea for the Public Service Commission to go fully into the financial affairs of concern In the first place, the public has the right to know just what proportion of the capitalization of the system represents actual property values and this valuation should be made the basis both of the amount of taxes it should pay as well as the earnings it should pay those holding its securities. Other matters of vital concern are whether it is efficiently managed and whether all unnecessary expenses in the form of large salaries, retainers, and other gratuities are kept within reason. SCHOOLS AND SOCIAL LEADERSHIP Mr. Jacob Epstein, President of the Baltimore Board of Trade, has just returned from Europe all aroused at the growing trend towards radicalism. "Stop investigations; stop wild eyed reforms," says Mr. Epstein, "and let this country get down to work and business." There can be no doubt but that we need men of Mr. Epstein's way of thinking to keep this old world from "running wild," but on the other hand we still need radical spirit to keep it progressing. Looking back down the long pathway of human endeavor, most of the men and women whose heads rise any distance above the crowd were among those Mr. Epstein would call radicals. Any man who seeks to change the existing order of things is a radical. Christ, Luther, John Brown, Frederick Douglass and all the men and women who thundered out and fought for human rights were radicals. Sometimes they were able to shove the world along in orderly procedure; sometime it took drastic methods and revolution; but the process is ever the same. We are constantly going towards human perfection and the radicals are driving us there. WHAT IS A RADICAL? from the stapdpoint of constant contact and with the public school system offers an excellent leadership. Educational experts are able to realize that the crowding of concrete of children are not the only duty we have the fast development of societies as an integral part of school management in practical social leadership, however school systems are deficient. What are they to guide and direct the social activities in our schools? When we remember that ISTAKE IN SOCIAL CONTACT may be the young man or woman than a hindra or English, we can get some idea of this subject. We establishment of centers where practical social procedure are taught and maintained of every school. But beyond all this we be a glowing example in dress, deportivities of what the growing child shoot should be identified with the life of the way as to help direct the social activity. So many teachers leave the school room when they are free to do, act and deport way they choose, yet the influence they on the inside of the room does not regood or evil as that which they exert on From the stadpoint of constant contact and vital influence the public school system offers an excellent medium for social leadership. Educational experts are coming more and more to realize that the crowding of concrete facts into the minds of children are not the only duty of schools. Hence we have the fast development of social and civic activities as an integral part of school management. It is in practical social leadership, however, that most of our school systems are deficient. What are we doing properly to guide and direct the social activities of young people in our schools? When we remember that ONE SINGLE MISTAKE IN SOCIAL CONTACT may cost vastly more to the young man or woman than a hundred failures in Algebra or English, we can get some idea of the importance of this subject. The establishment of centers where practical ideas of proper social procedure are taught and maintained should be a part of every school. But beyond all this every teacher should be a glowing example in dress, deportment and other activities of what the growing child should be. The teacher should be identified with the life of the community in such a way as to help direct the social activities of the young. Too many teachers leave the school room with the idea that now they are free to do, act and deport themselves in any way they choose, yet the influence they wield over the youth on the inside of the room does not result in half as much good or evil as that which they exert on the outside. CHARLES F. MURPHY he passing of the late Charles F. Murphy Tammany Hall has ever had, is not of the Democratic party, but will be regularity to that growing group of colorly in New York City, who have become organization. Charles F. Murphy was no doubt the great in America. Under his leadership Tamm the decent and respected political mach for he was the most sincere and the most of the principle of political and civicity in this country. He always kept his word when following them by the late Richard Croker who said, The passing of the late Charles F. Murphy, greatest leader Tammany Hall has ever had, is not only a great shock to the Democratic party, but will be regarded almost as a calamity to that growing group of colored citizens, especially in New York City, who have become allied with this organization. Charles F. Murphy was no doubt the greatest party leader in America. Under his leadership Tammany became one of the decent and respected political machines in its history, for he was the most sincere and the most powerful defender of the principle of political and civic equality in any party in this country. He always kept his word when following the principle laid down by the late Richard Croker who said, "A political organization cannot live without patronage, and I as leader of Tammany Hall will see to it that patronage is given in the most liberal measure to the colored Democratic organization; I will place at least one colored man in every department of the City Government." When Negroes in New York began to break away from the apathetic Republican party because of its failure to give them practical representation and recognition, there was but a corporal's guard of colored men employed in the New York City government as laborers with a total salary about $7,500. Today there are at least 1,000 colored civil employees ranging from Civil Service Commissioner to stenographer with a combined salary of more than $1,250,000. Charles F. Murphy, perhaps more than any other man, helped to bring this about. Despite the fact the Mr. Murphy belonged to that group of political leaders termed "bosses" he was a natural born friend of human liberty. He found the political machine in operation and used it in a manner that brought the respect of some of the best men of the land. Especially for his steadfast adherence to the preservation of the constitutional rights of colored Americans by actual deeds, will he be remembered by Negroes of the land. THE EDITORIAL PAGE of THE AFRO-AMERICAN OLD TIMER TELLS LIBERIAN SECRETS Old Timer was talking about Professor Hawkins' new Rickenbacker sofan with Professor Pudge when the Poories came up in Camden Station Thursday. "Sein," Foster "Awkin's new beat on the album," Old Timer, "that it was Liberia to lose the an auto what caused $5,000 from Truck Sum." ```markdown ``` "How come?" chorused Fudge and the Reporter together. "Well," said O. T. When a President King came over here we had to hug Hughes to lend him the men millions he felt so sure he was gwine I ooget 'em that he just bought bishops to be with me and did settle it. Then Southern Congressmen said if King could spend $7,000 that easy, he would throw away million dollars little while. So Liberty money. "I ain't never told nobody after, but them Liberians is kind of easy, wid money. Once they had a party up to the party of champagne, Pop jes like that. I likes my liker, but I ain't been able to see yet, how a government who can't own its own legislature and could buy so much liberty it could buy on farms. Then another thing what I don't understand is how them high Liberian officials could buy their own legislature and have half a dozen native women out on farms in the country. If you want to have three or four wives just go to Liberty. Everybody has 'em over "You know," O.

"What is your cound opinion about Liberian progress?" asked Professor. "Ain't giving to be no such thing, 'till they gets o president what spends the money for roads, and things about the women.

The FORUM Dear Editor: I have been real lucky this week. The papers gave me the front page in arresting five hold-up men and a ma unwanted in Alabama for murdering a white woman and colored man in 1918 and murder in Indianapolis. I sent you a copy of the paper. I want you all of the old home town to feel proud of me. I told you about being in the American Woodman Band, also a member of Local 471 in Indianapolis. As I haven't anything to do May 20th, I would love to come to the old home town and let Baltimore see me strut in front of some hand where the First Separate Company will march. I will be blue ribbon in Chicago, IL, in August, and in Columbus, Ohio in July. I am a member of the I. B. P. O. E. W. No. 125, Northside, Pittsburg Pa.: American Company No. 3, First Regiment Band.

There has been so much of that kind in the East that it is time for parents to wake up. If it had been a white girl he would have been dead. When black fathers begin to think their thoughts will some of these brutes, you will find this thing will stop. I do hope and trust that these parents will not accept money from that man and from Pleicher district sometime ago. We have enough societies of our own race to belong to without making those white people rich. Keep them out of our homes. If we will be in them, pay a straight life company, but I don't allow any collector to come across my door. DR. SCQTT LAUDS DUPOXT Dover, Del.

THEY DIDN'T PUT THEIR BIG BROTHERS "IN THE REAR" IN 1918 WHY PUT THESE BOYS "IN THE REAR" OF A BOYS' WEEK PARADE? Professor Fudge We often hear of ladies being pleasingly plump, but not necessarily frank. The Atlanta Independent, upon demand, coughs up the truth, no matter in what light it is put by the statement. On the contrary, the paper did not publish the facts concerning the financial situation of the Standard Life, he paper in question comes to the attention of attempted to rise in their defense and would have had my friend show me that I was not a member of the conference. They seem to be, which is supposed to keep the public informed, could not get its mouth open. A regular newspaper always wants to be on the level or at least wants the public to believe it. The Atlanta Independent it is different. It is a "don't give a d-" paper when it comes to say "it with backs," only self interest is concerned and by the way binds the same thing—Ben Davis, Ben Davis is the Rock of Gibraltar in his head police Heißen. Its most financial member and the big noise in things fraternal. It was also Ben who said he wanted his self respect. He is simply wondering if the Hon.

Gold Medal for making it possible Members of the African Methodist for girls to go in just before coming out. The same thing happened a year or so ago. A young lady came on these days and chatted at the General Conference without ceremony, unmindful at the time a young girl must be properly "debated." Upon "Yours for the growth of the A. M being wised up she forthwith went E. Church in parish." NCHE, JAYNE, JAYNE. The Mythical Ten Again We are again bothered with the mythical ten, the supposed ten greatest Negroes living or dead. I am only concerned about one gentleman who has been decorated with palmets and has been given the race except nine others. I would not be bothered with him but the folks upstairs are kicking and must be heard. It appears Mr. Abbott, the editor of the Chicago Defender, has been selected the ten greatest. The selection has my approval and endorsement and I am satisfied there can be no doubt about the correctness of his selection. Mr. Abbott is the most famous man in Chicago, is well known in Chicago and a few places thereabouts and furthermore, America's greatest hypercritic. It is Mr. Abbott who continually does cry give my race an economic chance, give my race an opportunity, give my race America get some of the "sugar." But when the issues are put up to Mr. Abbott squared he fails to register. In the mechanical department of the Chicago Defender, "seetwack" is that he can not get colored men to fill the position. He would give them a chance gladly but he cannot find them. He knows that he cannot find them in his plant but Mr. Abbott put the Japanese exclusion act on him. Other newspapers, among them this one, can find colored linemakers stereotypers. This bit of inconsistency on his part does not keep him from being great, in fact it helps him. It helps him to be more heroic and "forluster" we have. Independent Newpsaper We often hear of ladies being pleasantly plump, but now we have a paper which is pleasantly frank. The Atlanta Independent, upon demand, coughs up the truth, no matter in what light it is put up. We are questioned about why the paper did not publish the facts concerning the financial situation of the Standard Life the paper in question comes to us. With the Independent the Standard Life's money and the Atlanta Independent money is so mixed up, the paper, which is supposed to keep the public informed, could not get its mouth open. A regular newspaper always wants to be on the level or at least wants the public to believe it is on the level. With the Independent we give a d-" paper when it comes down to "say it with buck's," only self interest is concerned and it goes by the way of the tie that binds. Those who don't know the Independent and the Standard Life are practically one and the same thing—Ben Davis. Ben Davis is the Rock of Gibraltar of head politicians. Its most financial member and the big noise in things fraternal. It was also Ben who said "No Negro can be a Democrat and not a Republican," wondering if the Hint. Ben Davis still retains his self respect after the Standard Life. Independent flasher. I was on this newspaper business I wish to call attention to the fact that the Pittsburgh Courier, which has been printing in detail the selections of the mythical ten committee, made no reference to the Hon. Abbott's ******. Spring Brings The Five Hundred Socially the city is getting thinner and thinner. If we don't have another war in the next two years the city was almost a blank and Easter was filled with emptiness. However, the Five Hundred Club was made to strain through with a little Christmas Endeavor Dance promulgated on April 23, 1924. Its main purpose was to make for several young ladies to attend the dance. A coming out party as it were, and I might state Baltimore gets the Gold Medal for making it possible for girls to go in just because coming year or so ago. A young lady came out who presumably stole out four years before without ceremony, unintentionally. He must properly "debated." Upon or Fudge As I was saying the Five Hundred party was a "Ded" introducing affair. All of the Alumni were out. When I say Alumni I mean those women folks 20 years young and old who are putting on weight each and every year there after. The Alumni was well represented with a sprinkling of younger girls here and there with, of course, But one of the "Dobs," I must say was extremely lucky with Mrs. Sallie Logan gave a buffet supper before me, and I was surprised when the hot supper was attended by about a hundred, and was supposed to be a preliminary ban, but as a matter of fact tucked out to be served, I was crushed by crumples at Mrs. Logan's and a "good time was bad by all." The "Dobs" were all dressed in white and looked charming, and as no one else would have to stand for their "repeating." WHERE IS SPIRIT OF DANIEL PAYNE To the Editor: Will you allow an old subscriber and a reader to write a journal for you, or say a word or two through your columns in the interest of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in the State of Maryland, who have been for 40 years or more. I knew this church of ours all my life. I was rocked in its cradle and soon I saw all of our conference from Elisbon Payne up to the present one, but never have I been so disgusted with the condition of church affairs that I thought me that the ministers of the present day are all cowards and are afraid to say what is good for the development. museum. They let their chief pastor insult them and abuse them in the presence of their members and even their wives, and look with fear upon the man whom they call Bishop, who numbers skulls and heaps upon those servants of God vipersimations in such insulting way that I was almost attempted to rise in their defense because numbers skulls and heaps upon me that I was not a member of the conference. They seem to be a set of crushed servants of God, and it is a shame to treat those men like the people together, for I tell you I go around and hear what the people are saying about our church. I am publishing this letter, but I am not sure who the writer of this is, he will tell his Bishop, and the latter will have my pastor expel me, and if he does not or attempts to suspend me from the church, I will write an appointment or sent to some starvation mission Here I am asking you to please do not reveal my name as I do not wish to be expelled from the church from Bishop Payne's administration, Bishop Tanner's, Bishop Derrick's Bishop Gaines's, Bishop Lee's, Bishop Flanders's, but I am not an appointment I asked with dozens of thinking laymen and women and they say that this and the last eight years service as a Bishop of the Bali Conference, Compassionate, Compassionate, unfaithful, service our church has had. I know dozens of intelligent young men and women who will tell you that they will not join the African Methodist Church because I attended the Methodist Episcopal Conference in this city last month and watched with and listened to fatherly than white Bishop handled his ministers and people. Then when I want to my own Conference and watch with a learned Negro Bishop, I said many prayers that I was not taught when I was in Sunday School for him. You ministers had better rise up and assert your manhood. When you do so you will have hundreds of intelligent laymen with finances to back you. All we ask is to be honest, live godly, provide for our church, and we will aid and stand by you. Then the African Methodist Episcopal Church, don't lose heart, try to endure. KELLY MILLER SAYS All fair minded white men recognize the importance of the Negro's voice being heard in high places pleading he cause of his own race. The white man can speak about the Negro, but he cannot speak for him. The Negro must speak for himself. A Negro Congressman Major Hamilton Fish of the Fifteenth New York Regiment is now serving his second term in the House of Representatives of the United States, and Fish addressed the faculty and student body of Howard University. His address was true and strong and straight from the shoulder. A descendant of lines of patriots and philanthropists, he speaks out bodily as he ought to speak. He began by stating that the greatest need of Congress is a Negro representative to defend the rights of his own people, and with his own affairs to give more than left-handed consideration to the Negro's special and peculiar problems. Senator Calder of New York has recently made a statement to the support. All fair-minded white men recognize the importance of the Negro's voice being heard in high places pleading the cause of his own race. The white man can speak about the Negro but he can speak for himself. The Negro must speak for himself. Political Campaign We are now approaching a national political campaign. The Negro is being primed for the contest, and we are preparing for the past 50 years. His opponent will thunder from the stump extolling the virtues of the Grand Old Party and denouncing its Democrat predecessor, John F. Kennedy, who went to do time in immemorial. It is easy to predict that after March 4, 1925, our outliers, newspapers and organizations, will be a military court of demotion upon President Coolidge as they have done to his predecessors who have gone before him. During the campaign there will be extravagant rallies, speeches and gifts given by the triumph of the Republican party, but the sweet forecasts of hope will turn into the bitterness of disapointment, as has regularly happened from the days of Hayes. President Coolidge President Coolidge is a high class American patriot. He wished well for all elements of the American people. None can doubt the great power that matters now stand the Negro will all but solidly vote for his election. His election now seems a foregone conclusion. He will doubtless do all he can for this black to reinforce his position in the Negro he hodge in. But after he has done all that he deems the limitation of prejudice will permit him to do the force. The president may do much for the Negro; the party may do more if it has the power and the disposition. But neither president nor party will go very much further than the waram of public sentiment. Political Promise Are Just Lies The Negro politicians may wrest from the candidates promise of a few appointments, less than the platform is but as loaned lies to catch the colored vote. Our disabilities will still remain regardless of the fact that we are not qualified for candidates. It is little less than criminal to contempt to mislead the mass of the race by preaching vain political hopes, and to support Mr. Caddings and the Republican party in the next campaign; but I am going to do so with open eyes and active reason. There is little or no purpose in third party allegiance. A party is nothing but a tool, an instrument through which to offence the people will. As an implement, the Republican party is not a party in the Democratic party so far as affecting the welfare of the Negro race is concerned at the present moment. But God knows that both of them If the Negro continues to how down and worship at the behest of the Grand Old Party for the next 50 years, he would be politically speaking, no further forward than now. We must look forward to a bright future, but not only when the Negro undertakes his own political thinking; and on proper occasions, his own political action. Independent Party The race is too weak in organic development to build up an independent Negro party as a wedge of opposing trottling political organizations. The attempts so far made have proved pathetically abortive. To organize money to defeat some candidate, the party must prove distasteful as has been attempted on several occasions, has had little or no value of permanence. As soon as the prooking campaign is established interests, the independent movement fades away like Joshua's gourd. If some Ngo with initiative, persistence and fair seeing vision sheild the independent movement in the history of the race's welfare, to be used with or against any party or any candidate as the group interests might dictate, the party must increase the achievement in the race. This is what our present day leaders would call the day dream of an academic doctrine. And yet the method of our political status of the race. Negro Republicans In the absence of the emergence of some commanding race statesman who can and will assume effective political leadership of the race for permanent and effective advantage, there remains only a single group of Negro representatives to all legislative bodies, city, state and national. The race will, so far as I can see, make no further political advance, until we send one or more members of the race to the Congress to negotiate the negotiation of Negro population in a few of our large cities, makes this an early possibility. It would mean more to the party than to be a congressman from chicago or New York than to see any political trumpetman or any individual The National Baptists I see that my casual remarks as to the enormous expense and small return of the National Baptist Convention of New York a spirited regimen on part of the Publicity Commission of that great denomination. Of course, I meant no refraction but a curious armrest body of Christians whose self-directive endeavor commands my highest recommendation. My reference in this matter was to Miss Nannah in Rurupough, comment on this very meeting. These are her words : "At the most conservative cellar, we have $700,000 in railroad fire, board and incidental expenses. We receive on an investment of $700,000 less than $30,000. What think-ye of our sound business. I merely utilized this instance to illustrate the fact that the race within itself sufficient resources to finance its own operation if wisely used." As one travels through the country he is amazed at the accomplishments of the Baptist denomination in individual congregations. There is hardly a cell of a Baptist church of magnificent proportions with a large annual budget. The genius of the Baptist Church is individualistic. This is at one the cause of its local success and of its associative short-coming. A single Baptist congregation can be $300,000, while the denomination of 2,000,000 members does not possess a single institution of that value. Dr. L. K. Willams The statesmen-like leaders of this great spiritual estate are beginning to think most seriously upon this denominational disadvantage and now Morris has this worthy objective in view with his most worthy successor, Dr. L. K. Williams is now proceeding with the energy and enthusiasm of his spiritual nature. He is building a 3,000,000 members to build and sustain any kind of institution which its needs require. There is no apparent necessity of keeping the white population in the Baptist denomination will overcome its connectional weakness without sacrificing any of its bodily identical strength. The Los Angeles denomination is in a comparative position. Baptist churches can expend $700,000 in paying the way of delegates to a single convention, surely the whole denomination can without strain exert its influence on theological symmetry, or series denominational needs. I want the publicity committee to understand that this is not a collection or a criticism of the church, but well, but a prophecy and a prayer. The General Conference The general conferences of the several Methodist church bodies will assemble during the month of July to discuss the outcome is of wider interest the concenss the intimate membership of these religious bodies. They argue the liveliest interest of the whole race. Indeed the religious bodies are the primary government governing activities among us.

It is has the appearance of food, but doesn't contain anything worth eating, girls like it. Success is largely a matter of buying experience and selling it at a profit, remarks Clifford E. Perry. Dobody dows why cologists feel obliged to welcome sperm with a few lides like this every year, but dobody dows why the flowers bloom every spring, either city or a temperate indistinction of Old Mother Nature, presumably. A real vamp, says Wm. L. Lee, is one who can keep pace with the household allowance month after month. More families, says C. R. Campbell, suffer from the lack of judgment about spending money than from the lack of money. There is some talk about a third party. But there is a lot of talk about the old ones. NO. CLARENCE, THEY DON'T RAISE TRUCKS IN A TRUCKGARDEN, SAYS MISS LOUISE PARROT, PATIENTLY. Is it a woman, thinks Miss "Ooze" Barron, the women folk aren't troubled a whole lot with Painter's color. Past love affairs, says Miss Occasion, the women troops still about till she gets in a quarrel with her husband. Spring seldom does much good until summer gets her. SPRING Pows are running in the stubble! Grant paw years to have less trouble! Than gener'l with his rheumatiz- Some says 'tain't and others 'tis, Signs that p'm to coming spring; But, anyhow, the robins sing, so, I guess it's safe to say, Spring is her or on the way. Just what do women do with the time they save by having their hair hobbled? If it is of any interest to the White House, we believe we heard the lost Coolidge cat on our radio last night. No matter what ails a man, he thinks spring will cause it says Clarence Roberts. Things have come to a pretty pass, says Miss Adah Watts, when a Presidential cat cannot go out for an evening snore, and possibly an appointment, without having the news radioed over the country. Our language becomes more expressive. Sure, Fred Donglass never could have said "It's a wow." At this rate the veterans won't get their bonus until they are old enough to be called veterans. If you leave the price tag on the present you give a woman it will save her a trip down town. It is the editor of a beauty magazine predicts, all the young girls, who now have bobbled hair will be bald, before they are thirty, bachelor, before the style of the general bar, so no harm will be done.

Miss Battle Hicks thinks it's no use arguing with the man or woman who has read all the books on whist or five hundred. Elmer, get the ammonia, father is going to cut his toenails. It surely brings the downer The time does really fly. At that, "it's dear time." For the old straw hat. The coldidge tentacle was stolen from home, but so far as has been reported, nobody has got the White House goat. Miss Carrie Smith says there's "ots of sympathetic religion, being handed out to the pulit as the real stuff." What has become of the time-ruling that a man wasn't trunk so long as he could hit the ground with his hat? Assuming there are a few heads remaining to be hobbled, this from Emmer Henderson, should finish the job. "In selecting students for a university, we chose the unhobbed girl in the crowded for the role of spinster." Fashion men say nightshirts are back, but we'll have to wait until a hotel fire to see if it's true. Say, pop, what's the difference between sion and sight?

Each boy and girl was to act out and make a noise like some animal. All entered heartily into the play but one little girl. With her arms out stretched and her head on her desk she apparently was asleep. The teacher didn't like part in the game.

She can straighten everything and sort out the clothes for Tuesday. If she soaks them in water over Monday night with soap, she will have them if the house is cleaned on Monday she will have more heart to work on Tuesday.

A Few Things Mothers Should Teach Their Daughters Mothers should teach their daughters to be good housekeepers, not afraid to do anything which housework calls for, as far as their strength permits. The girl should be taught at an early age never to expect every- thing which her more fortunate neighbor may be able to do. After so training the girl the mother should impress upon her mind the importance of never marrying a man who has not a home of his own to keep unless he expects to purchase one in the near future. No well-thinking young man will ask for the hand of a girl unless he is able to make her com- fortable. How very important this is if she is to be the mother of his chil- dren. A FRIEND.

Tested Beauty Hints To make a bleach for freckles grind 1 cup of horseradish and mix it thoroughly with 1 cup of buttermilk. Apply this to face at night, leaving on uncut skin for the lotion in the eyes. If this is repeated every night for a week you will not be bothered with freckles again, unless you run in the sun repeatedly. This mixture can be kept the whole week. Buttermilk patted into the face and neck each day from 10 to 15 minutes will keep away tan, and is a fine bleach.—M. G. H. What Makes a Good Woman? What Makes a Good Woman? Dear Aunt Dilsey: Dear Aunt Daisy, there is no sense of the word, there is no such a thing as "a good woman." Christ said there is none good but the Father, and since He said so, I know it is so. But I think I understand. She may be virtuous, a model housekeeper, a plain sensible dresser, economical, fairful, to husband and children, if she has any, not accustomed to the vices which you have named, but let me tell you, every woman has a "skeletal" closet, a "closet" that grusome one is a maint disposition, and this is often displayed in the home, like the tricks of a magician behind closed doors. It is an old adage, "You can't see the show on the outside of the tent." and things are not always just what they seem. I prefer a woman of good sense, sound judgment, good disposition, some one with some to give up, but not to masculine a woman who and a good cook and a Christian, a woman that men will take their hats off to when they refer to her as Miss or Mrs. So and So. It is easy enough to be pleasant when life goes by like a song. But the woman worth while is the one who will smile when everything goes dead wrong. FROM A SUBSCRIBER.

Heart Problems Answered by Annie Ronie Went With Him for a Good Time Dear Annie Roney-1 have kept company with a young man for two years. I like him, but wish to go with him for the good time only. I thought that was all he was thinking of, too, but have found him to be that help, our son for me. He has a good position for good prospects. Should I refuse to allow him to call upon me longer? I do not care to marry anyone just now. If he has not formally proposed, there is no reason why you should not continue to be good friends. If he has asked you to marry him, tell him frankly your feelings in the matter. It will then be up to him frankly your feelings in the matter. It will not break the friendship. It does not quite fair that you should have accepted his invitations merely for a "good time." Surely you enjoyed his friendship. "Date" Etiquette Dean Annie Roney—When entering the theatre should the man or girl go first? If it is after 10 oclock when a man brings a girl home, should she ask him in? The man should precede the lady down the aisle in the absence of an usher. He should, however, stand at the row and permit the lady to pass thru to her seat first. If your parents are still up, it is courteous to invite the young man in for a few minutes; otherwise, and say good night at the door.

Embarrassing Moment WHAT WAS YOURS? The Afro-American pays a dollar each week for the best one redressed the week and the address Embrassment Editor, Afro-American. One day last year our cooking teacher took us down to the barn to see how a person milks a cow, and to study all possible about milk as that was our lesson for the day. There were several cows and off to himself was a bull. I was green, very green, and did not know the difference between a bull and a cow. The school boys were milking the cows, and I noticed that no one paid any attention to the animal in the den all alone, I said, "Mr. J—please tell me when you are going to milk that cow over there. May I try?" He said, "I am sorry, but that is not cow." I felt very embarrassed, and the teacher was quite angry with me, but I frankly told her I didn't know any better.

George, and begged Harry, so that he might know the w not forgive her. That Crane from Chicago. That Carolin' her husband to the "love ne there the entire truth could George have just reached touch of night adds mystery POOR LI'L CAROLIN By Ben Goodlow That after George Essex, husband of Carolin' has deserted her, going to Chicago because he found her in a questionable position, her and another unknown man, Carolin' told her story to Harry Crane, bosom friend of George, and begged Harry to bring her husband back so that he might know the whole story even tho' he might not forgive her. That Crane persuaded George to return from Chicago. That Carolin' arranged for Harry to bring her husband to the "love nest' of the third man so that there the entire truth could be told. That Harry and George have just reached the "love nest" and that the touch of night adds mystery to the adventure. (Continued from last week) You may think it foolish of me that I should lend myself to such an undertaking at the behest of a woman who had apparently betrayed and dishonored my best friend, but I had come to the point where I was more grateful than I were more to this affair than a mere illicit attachment between a gildy woman and a designing man. I do not mean by this that I had reached the conclusion that we had wronged Carolin' in designating her as faithless. I had her own statement to substantiate the charge. But I had reached the charge and gave her a show. If she thought that she could redeem herself by the thing she was planning to do that night—whatever it was—I was willing to help her. I was not going to stand by idy and see her hoodwink my friend into exegeting a fraudulent explanation for her unbecoming condidet, but I was willing to sponsor her so long as I replied the game with unmarked cards. As we stood there gazing speculatively at the dwelling I began to wonder if this was really the house. So far as we were concerned our mission was a blind one—one of those "under sealed orders" things—and if we should blunder into the wrong bottle of ancient fish. To assure ourselves against mistakes of that nature I had kept track of the house numbers in that street from the time we entered it, but as I had done this in a haplazed manner without allowing for possible vacant bushes, and a two-story unpainted house. That description fitted this place to a T. There could be no mistake. "Well, what are you going to do?" Essex finally boomed into my ears and all night sitting mosquitoes and listening to the bulb-frog chorus?" "Do? I cried, coming out of my dream, 'Why walk up there and knock. Wait! What's this guy's name?' I nummaged in the dust bins of my memory, Carolin' had informed me to inquire for Mr. Smith. I knew that wasn't the man's cognomen, but there had to be a name, and that is as good as any other. All we had to do was to knock and ask for Smith. She said that we would be admitted. I was supposedly like if this house was a "love nest," but Carolin was directing the drama, and no doubt she knew the plot better than we. So accordingly, we marched up the grass-covered walk, mounted the rickety porch which resounded loudly with our footsteps and ramped on the door. We heard chants moving about with our footsteps, and murmured. I fancied I heard the plaintive cry of a child. Then the door was opened wide and a woman appeared in the aperture. Her back was to the light, making it impossible to secure a good glimpse of her face, but she was a colored woman, as she was and seemed to be rather good-looking. Not forgetting my courtesy, I dotted my hat and said as pleasantly as I could: "Good evening, madam. We are looking for a certain Mr. Smith." "Come right in," she said, in a rich smile, a hint of the South in her voice. I was a trifle amazed at the warm welcome in her tones, as I supposed le?

But The him— our people to a s motive our bus usher and c a con we'd have to haggle a bit, but I tried to conceal my amazement. She stood aside to permit us to enter, after which she closed the door. Instead of entering a hallway or vestibule, we were precipitated directly into the living room. It was a large room containing an old assortment of furniture. I was enclosed of a dressing commode, a dining table, a duofold, a sectional bookcase, another small table, an old model photograph, a morris chair, several wicker rockers, and a few chairs commonly called kitchen chairs. The four walls were covered with many pictures. A wife rack contained several pictures on the walls were of a religious character. Several Bible verses, printed on placards, were visible. But I was not concerned with the decorative effects of that room. The living occupants purchased my acuity attention. A small, sparse man, dark-yellow as to complexion, and probably in his early thirties, was in a quiet indoor setting on which stood a reading lamp. He was reading a newspaper, or had been, before we entered. His dress consisted of carpet slippers, a worn smoking jacket, and dark trousers. The bridge of his nose supported gold-rimmed glasses. To me, he looked like a man unusual intelligence—a man had an unusual much of classrooms and libraries. On the floor, at his feet, or rather in the immediate vicinity of his chair I asked a child, a pretty little toy of three or thereabout, who looked exceedingly cunning in remperors. At the time we entered the room he was engrossed in the fascinating world of a drawing tablet with a pencil that seemed unwieldy in his little fingers. The reader arose at our entrance with a pleasant smile on his face, a smile of welcome, and remained standing until the woman had found us seated. His attitude was the attitude a man who pride in admitting visitors to his pleasant home. I marked him down as being one of these rare creatures that still believe in hospitality. He struck me as a man who would be grieved if you failed to enjoy your stay in his house. He was the sort of fellow one would expect handsome treatment from as his guest, and he would be glad to see cigars just as soon as he saw that we were comfortably situated. Now, I enjoy a cigar, but I have learned that there be places where it is considered bad taste to smoke them. I remember that I had tossed a half smoked Havana away just before receiving the house. The woman could confession come to the rescue as women have a habit of doing. "You may smoke if you wish," she said, reading my obvious thoughts, "I enjoy the smell of a good cigar." I looked at her gratefully as I bit into the end of the wool and fished in the end of the wool and fished in a woman who is bread-minned enough to permit a man a few moments of unallowed pleasure. As Khlipg says, "a good cigar—that's a treat!" My glance at the woman substantiated my guess that she was young and good looking. She was very neatly attired, too, and had a classic armring her hair. Like the man, she hinted at the classrooms.

The student, as I mentally dashed him, opened the conversation and carried it well. Like a great many people, I have an aversion for the bombastic talker, but I have learned that there is a heap of difference between a man who talks just the sake of talking, the man who talks with the purpose of saying something. This man knew how many things in a way that caught and held your attention. But Essex was growing nervous. The thing didn't look just right to him—nor me either at this stage. Our visit seemed purposeless. These people were acting too familiar—as they expected us to do. We knew in a matter of minutes. Folks have a motive in visiting strangers. But we were not questioned at all as to our business there. We were just ushered into the room, given chairs and cigars, and our host opened up a conversation on current topics. However, I was not too taken in by the face, nor was I tense in the face. The surface was smooth, but I could feel the swift cross-currents underneath. Finally George broke the ice. He was getting impatient—suspicious, "I do not know you," he said to the host, eyeing him keenly, a bit too keenly, I thought, "nor do you know me directly to a point. My name is Essex. I am connected with the Star Night Club. I came here for the purpose of meeting a gentleman who has done me an irreparable wrong. Is there another man in the house beside yourself? Do you keep paying guests?" The man who came up from that floor of opacity from masking his dark yellow face. He turned puzzled eyes toward the woman, who in turn looked shrewly at George. That look convinced me that something was radically wrong.

I am a country reader, and I wish to tell some of the other readers how I make extra money, outside of my chickens and eggs. Some years back when I lived on a well traveled highway, I grew flowers in large quantities, which I sold to motorists and hucksters from the city. I planted my loveliest flowers nearest the road where they could easily be seen. I have not done in selling them during the summer and fall. Now that I live on a large farm, I still grow flowers in large quantities and sell flowers, seeds and bulbs to neighbors and friends. This is a pleasant occupation and also a profitable one.

One day I heard of Exelento Quinine Pomade for the hair and purchased a jar. Almost immediately it stopped all dandruff, made my hair grow long, soft and fine, and gave it a delightful sheen. Because of the perfectly wonderful results I obtained from Exelento Quinine Pomade, I purchased a jar of Exelento Skin Beautifier. It changed my sallow complexion to a clear, lovely skin, growing with health. For pimples and other skin blemishes, it has no equal. If I am as beautiful as people say, it is all due to Exelento preparations. Exelento Quinine Pomade and Exelento Skin Beautifier may be obtained for only 25% at most drug stores, or will be sent postpaid upon receipt of price by the EXELENTO MEDICINE CO., Atlanta, GA.

The Sox also lost the double header to the visitors Sunday; first game, 6-4; second, 7-6. The Giants crew made their debut before 1,000 enthusiasts crowd of fans. Both teams metched across the field to theains of "Glory," played by the commonweath Band. Beautiful bouquets of flowers were puffed by the Cleveland Roster, Chuck Condon and Pete Hill by the fans. Frank Kelley, big boss of Baltimore, made the presentation. The ball was thrown out by Wm. Everett and the game was on. Cast Off Is Sox Jinx Wayne Car, the Sox lefthand pitched, was released before the game just in time to crawl into a Barchairch uniform. He and the management disagreed over money matters and Carr took the gate. He got his revenge, however, by holding the Sox to 5 hits and 2 runs. Manager Tucker and Captain Lloyd only brought two pitches to Baltimore. Three of their best hurlers being still in school and unable to play until May 15th, Picking up Carr was like finding a $1,000 note, and they made good of it. 4,000 Out Sunday Six thousand fans filled the grandstand, bleachers and climbed up on the roof to see the Sox drop Sunday's doubleheader. In the first game the Fox hammered Henderson and got a 4-2 lead, which they held until the eighth, when errors, a home run by Mason, his second of the season and some real stakes, the Cuban and other Barcharachs took the right out of Pete Hill's mouth. Line-up Changed Pullen succeeds Rojo behind the bat Sunday; Poles was shifted from third to short, and Lindsay moved to second. Captain Day covered third base. Poles made the fielding stunt of the game he was to himself on a first, to stop a fielder over second and get up in time to get his man at first. Ramirez also won applause with a circus catch. Mason's two home runs cleared the right field fence by twenty feet. Cummings nearly duplicated this trick, his hard hit against the fence out six feet from the top. Second Game Day got a homer over the right field fence in the first inning of the second game. Right at the jump the Sox got a five-run lead, but the heavy sliders of the Rangers and the Sox hit McCullum and drove them to cover. Force could get the lid down, the visiting had ten runs and the game. Umpires on Job "Duck" Gibson called "em behind the plate and Charlie Cromwell on the paths. Both men are experts and hard to beat in any league. Ramirez came near getting the gate in the first game Sunday when he protested a called penalty in the first half in the linelight in the fourth inning when he failed to get out of the way of Britt's throw to catch John Henry Dickey stealing home. Lloyd caught Britt mapping and was half way home before the pitcher decided to throw. The ball came in and Cromwell ruled the ball dead, and sent the runners back. Rooters were disappointed in the Sox dropping the whole series, but this did not interfere with their rooting for the home team. John Lloyd was the brains of the Bachchies, preparing his pitchers and directing the catchers, proved that the old warrior has lost none of his running.

The game will be called at 3:30 p.m. one of the strongest semi-professional teams in the State. On Sunday, the Sox will meet Ben Taylor's Washington Potomies in a double bill. Pete has promised some drastic changes in the line-up of the Sox in Saturdays and Sundays games, that will make the team 75 per cent stronger. Rossiter left Tuesday for Indianapolis and will bring back Blackmon. It is likely, that he will be here in time for the inaugural game and the hotting down the third suck. "Babe Ruth" Wilson has been brought in from the outfield and will do duty on first. "Home Run" Johnson, of Kansas City, another six footing with a batting average equalling the best of them, will play left left. The former first baseman, has been released. Pete expressed regret that this boy did not live up to expectation, but for the good of the team he had to let him go. He played last year with the Milwaukee club and made good, but for some reason he seems to have lost his stride. Wilson is a good boy and has the making excellent player, but Sunday's showed he was in too fast company. ter, and he will be it this best in these games. Daz's leg is now O.K. Strong is feeling stronger than ever. Force has more force and power than he ever had on the receiving end, and he made on the receiving end. and Pullen and Rojo are everything that can be expected of catchers. With the boys lined up in this new order, Peter has increased the efficiency of the Sox by at least 100 per cent. CAMBRIDGE 16: DENTON 10 Denton, Md., April 25.—With Capt.

Norfolk fought as clean a battle as could be expected under the circumstances. Greb resorted to every dirty trick known to fighters anywhere, cursing his opponent, of his glove, holding, wrestling, and even hitting him after the bell had sounded. The trouble is that Greb saw himself facing one of the worst whippings in his career and preferred to lose on a foul rather than on a decision or be knocked out.

ATHENIANS STILL CITY CHAMPIONS ATHENIANS STILL CITY CHAMPIONS Wallop Scholastics, the Afro Champions, 41 to 40 In Dazzing Basketball Game TEAMS EVENLY MATCHED Scholastics Ahead Throughout Contest Until Final Whistle Blows By winning the second game of their three-game series, 41 to 40, the Athletians took the city basketball championship away from the Scholastics, Afro League champions, Thursday night at New Albert Auditorium. The two teams were evenly matched although the Scholastics jumped into an early lead and maintained it to the final minute of play, when Poles dropped one through the basket to the score and made an extra five minutes period necessary. The Scholasties' marksmanship was better than that of the Athletians, but the Greeks made it up on one side to show it on the other. Both Ward and Warren of the Scholasties, had four personal fouls called on them. Spencer and Jackson were the only Scholastics to escape Duck Gibson's penalties. At the end of the first half, the score was 24 to 14.

Just as one of the players came in the gym one night last week with a big cone of strawberry cream the referee blew the whistle for the game to start. The coach, the player gave the cone to him to hold until he got a chance to eat it. As Baskerville received the cone he was heard to whisper under his chin. The coach said the fate for being so kind raised the cone to his mouth, but fate intervened again in the form of the ball coming in swift contact with the said cone. The coach of an inch of Baskerville's mouth. PLOP—a pulled and disappointed expression on the face of Baskerville, shouts of laughter from the crowd, a look of derision followed by a widening face of the right-upper of the cone. After extracting most of the strawberry cream, now out of the comp of his collar, Paskerville was heard rumbling in a mud underbone. "It is kissed." Johnny Curtin, of Jersey City, who suffered an injured hand in a bout with Chick Suggs, has recovered enough to get into the game again.

TAYLOR KAYOS CUBAN CHAMP Omaha Fighter Knocks His Man Down Seven Times Before Latter Quits SIKI THROWN OUT Scenegaleese Hits a Spectator and Tries To Climb Thru The Ropes of the Ring Havana, Cuba, Apr. 30 (By Mail) —Jack Taylor, of Omaha, claims the colored light heavyweight world championship, knocked out Santa- go Esparragueva in the sixth round of a scheduled fifteen round bout right. The Cuban champion, who succeeded after being knocked down seven times between the start of the fourth round and the finishing blow, exhibited a gameness that is solden in a prize in a prize contest. He was wearing a fighting face to face and landing blows even to the last round. The Cuban light heavweight champion apparently had the better of the first two rounds and succeeded in opening up an old cut over-Taylor's right eye, from which he could see the nose, whose weight was announced as 178, against 172.2 for Esparraguera appeared to be much the more powerful and fought from a covered up position that worried the Cuban. Taylor's powerful arms would shoot out with lightning speed and no necessity for a knee swing and his body blows proved telling. Starting in the fourth, Taylor battered the Cuban unmercifully about the mouth and eyes and floored him four times in that round, only the bell saving the Cuban team was able to do so. However, appeared somewhat fresher to start the fifth and began to use a stiff left job that kept Taylor off for a while. Battling Siki, Senegalese fighter, was thrown out of the arena twice during the evening, once when it is said he was attempting to show his skill, and twice time when he grew excited during the boot and is said to have struck a spectator.

To win this championship an athlete must score the lowest number of points in five events, browdigg, 290 and 1,500 meter dash, javelin and discuss throw. West finished three points better than a year ago, when he carried his pentathlon crown back to West. This stiff competition yesterday than last year, especially in the person of Harry G. Frieda of University of Chicago, who was second in the National A. A. C. decathlon in 1923. Frieda's total yesterday was eight points, but he was very much in the battle after being tenth in the first event—broad jump. First places in two events—running broad jump and 1,500 meters—helped West a great deal in his contest. He did a splendid jump of 22 feet 11½ inches, while Newton, of University of Florida, was a good second with 22 feet ½ inch. West Third in Javelin. Introduced West picked up a third place with a heave of 164 feet 2 inches in this Frieda and Leggatt, of the Navy, each broke the pontifex row with marks of 185 feet 7½ inches and 182 feet 5½ inches respectively.

This is the judgement of the AFROS Dunbar Editor after going through some of these stories written by AFRO boys and girls and older folk. Everybody writes that Dunbar was a great poet, where he was born, how long he lived and some of the names of his poems. These stories show a knowledge of the poet's life, but there is another kind of story, too, that the AFROS Dunbar Editor wants, and that is an original story. Many persons alive in Baltimore today meet Laurence Dunbar. The AFROS Dunbar Editor recalls one occasion when he was in the city. There may have been others. This time, however, he was attending a wedding here in 1855. The Dunbar Editor was only six years old, but rememberms that everybody in the room was gathered around a tall, dark man whose head could touch the chandelier if he spoke. "That's Dunbar, the poet," was whispered in his ear, and he was whisked right off to bed. Before that wedding, I am told, Dunbar was the guest of a number of men at a smoker, and he beat them all reciting and telling stories. Over in Washington, on You Street, N. W., where Mr. Dunbar street lined with trees on each side, was to him a lover's lane. He saw the boys and girls walk up and down that street in the spring time and then wrote his poem, "Swing Along," which Will Cook put to music. Dunbar was secretary to Frederick Douglass at the Chicago World Fair. This is the kind of originality we hope some of our readers are going to put in their Doris Mae Hall, of the Dunbar School, recalls that Dunbar's father was an ex-shear, a plasterer and whitewasher, while his mother helped earn the living through laundry work. From such lowly beginnings, the poet made his way to fame. "R. M. Hliks. 929 N. Arlington of Dunkirk. He says: "When death came down to tooth his weary eyes. His body 'neath the willows may be laid: His soul wanders through a lofty paradise. Where he enters triumphant, unbound. Remember there are only two rules to observe in writing these stories. First, they must not be longer than 250 words; second, they must be written together on side by side in proper and neat manner as possible to the AFROS Dauphin Editor.

Dr. Giering's Educational Talks For Poisoned Men With Social Diseases And Loss of Vitality A healthy being possessing the full powers of manhood is a blessing and should be safeguarded as a sacred treasure. A loss of such powers is due to many causes such as congenital malformations, self abuse, injury, from acquired defects in the organs of generation, or if may be coneative—inherited, neurasthenic or follow the effects from one or more of the social diseases. To restore normal functioning of the most scientific treatment, declared Dr. Gierling in his lecture. Importance, loss of manhood and weakened vitality is not a condition in you to laugh at or ridicule and pass over lightly, for you are a side man and owe to such intelligent advice and treatment from a skilled physician. If your vitality is deficient you are a drone in our social fabric—your neglect to seek proper treatment to correct your normal functioning may lead to a pervert, suicide, or a mad man, and is the cause of many broken homes also, stated by clering. Ignorance, prudery and a false sense of property causes you to live a life of mental misery by the lack of life and mental consciousness of the life in the power of propration—this one fact alone more than any other should influence you to seek advice and treatment. Important to Men Many who have received 606, Silversman, or any of the Intravenous treatments for Syphilis do not realize that one or more shots of 606 is not a positive cure for Syphilis without other medical treatment properly directed. It requires several years of the most scientific treatment to overcome the poison of syphilis. The sooner men who suffer from social diseases learn the truth and takes advantage of the free advice offered by a skilled physician the better it will be for you, your neighbor, as well as for your offspring. Dr. Giering's Office Is one of the most modern equipped offices in this city for the treatment of blood diseases, skin diseases, ulcers, bladder troubles, lumbago, wounds, weak, Rheumatism, vertigo, Strain or burn, Venom, vertigo, Chancous, Nerves all out of whack, glove, Acnea, Pimples, Gonorrhea, Pyrethra, Black heads, lost of Vitality, Swellings, and lost of manhood. Pimples Can Be Cured Pimples, Black heads and Acne can be overcome under treatment by a skilled specialist and there is no need of you suffering embarrassment with these all because it is being ready to book it as well to carry it. Be very cautious in your relation with people with face all broken out with disease or sore months. I warn you now that too much propaganda of an educational nature can not be brought to bear on the public to safeguard the innocent from infection from people visiting the above disliked institutions. Dr. Gierling's office is at 710 East Baltimore street, opposite Maryland Institute and the doctor's office hours are from 10 A.M. to 9 P.M. daily and on Sundays from 2 to 4 P.M. It may be also of interest to the readers of the Afro-American to learn that Doctor Gierling's position within reach of our means, no man too poor for the Doctor to arrange a plan to receive his personal care and service. Men Without Means No one who needs medical attention because of being without money is ever turned from his door. They receive the same tenure and personal attention as those paying for his medical service.

Years' Experience Good Morning Judge to drive it. Bryant purchased an Overland and sent for Watters Scott, 1412 E. Madison street, to show him how to drive.

He picked out a pet pullet belonging to Mrs. Francis Barnes, 1748. He was a fan of the puffin he was brought into court or a charge of larceny. Although he denied taking the juicy bird, the Magistrate held him under $500 for the action of the Grand Jury.

PHONE, MADISON 4821 Saturdays, 12 Midnight --- Were Playing "Tit For Tat" When an officer, responding to the call of a small boy that murder was being done at 927 Pennsylvania avenue Sunday night, entered the house, he found Miss Alice Cole backed up in the corner and being walloped by Thomas Dorsey, 259 Vincent Avenue. To his utter surprise, however, when he laid them before the Magistrate on Monday morning, he discovered that they were just playing a little game. "Judge," said Miss Code, with one side of her face still swollen from the stromous "little game" they were playing, "that officer sure did make a mistake: we were just playing. Tom and L, and he came in and broke up the game. "Can you beat that?" said the officer, "I almost saved the girl's life and now she calls it playing." The magistrate lit them $1 and costs for the little game. "Stavin Change," the meemest man from New Orleans, has nothing on Albert Gregory, 538 W. Biddle street. Gregory was hated into court Monday morning when officers found him carrying an eight inch bow tie knife and a blue steel revolver. When asked to explain the presence of all the artillery on a peaceful Sunday in Baltimore, he smiling said: "Why, Judge, I just had that knife to manure my finger nails and that little pistol could not do any one any thing." "Good Lord!" shouted the Magistrate, examining the blue steel, "I guess you will be travelling around with crow bars next. Well, if you don't call it any I will call it $25 and costs. The bad man paid his fine and left the court room. "Judge, I took one drink and it messed me all up." That was the way James Geter, 92, Argyle avenue, explained the many funny gyrations the officers found him doing Sunday night. Among other things there was going to make doors more visible, and the officer was unable to tell the officer even the direction in which he lived. When he faced His Honor Monday morning, he had somewhat recovered and could vaguely remember that he had taken one drink: "Whew" he sighed as he recalled that drink. "Whew" he guessed the white male kicked you hard enough," said the Magistrate, "so I will let you go." He was dismissed. When Jake Bryant, 423 N.

Commission Which Already Has $15,000 In Pledges Fund Will Be Held In Perpetuity Of Retired Ministers, Wdows and Orphans Authorized by the Washington annual conference of the M. E. Church at its last session, Rev. C. H. Mathws is held secretary of a commission which plans 4 orise $100,000 this year. The commission which has already raised $15,000 in pledges will hold meeting at Sharp Street Church Wednesday, May 17th. Admission will be free and there will be many able spaces. Speaking of this, Rev. C. H. Mathws said today: "This is a plain fact, that preachers are expected to give their time wholly to the work of the ministry, and to be engaged in feeding the flock and looking after the spiritual needs of their parish. They not express an obligation in questions, disputes, and then make a success of his ministry. If he confines himself wholly to the Gospel ministry, he can not save, for when he is given unto him, he must pass unto others, and set the example that others may follow his lead in giving to the cause of Christ. All who are truly Christian in their hearts are really anxious that these Servants of the Lord, who have made sacrifices for the good of others, will follow them." "This proposed fund is to be used exclusively for retired preachers, widows of deceased preachers, and orphan children under 10 years of age. Not one penny of this fund can be touched for any other cause. It goes on perpetually for the benefit of those who have worn out in the gospel ministry, and only the interest and dividends can be used in helping to lift them above want and burden. When a man breaks down in the ministry he is incapacitated for anything else, but to await all of his appointed time, until his change shall cease. "The fund of $100,000 is to be invested by the Conference Claimant Board of Chicago, IL., who will send the interest and dividends according therefrom annually to our Conference, the same to be used by our Conference Board of St. Louis, helping to keep the needy of old and retired preachers who can no longer, because of age and disabilities, render acceptable service to the people, or labor in the vineyard of their Lord."
