12 GETS 18 YEARS FOR POISONING WHITE FAMILY Easton Court Regrets That It Could Not Impose Longer Sentence IS SECOND CASE Pen Officials Recall 12- Year-Old Boy There 20 Years Ago Easton, Md., June 6.— Frank Bryson, the 12-year- old youth, who on last August, was arrested charged with the death of the one-year-old son of William C. Hall, white, of Church Hill, pleaded gui- ty of murder in the second degree here Friday. The State accepted his plea and the court sentenced him to serve 18 years in the Maryland penitentiary, regretting that it could not give him a longer sentence. States Attorney Charles E. Tucker and Mr. J. Frank Harper represen- tated the State and J. H. C. Legg the accused. The case was to have been tried in the November, 1923 term of court hit was remitted by the defendant to Talbot County. The testimony showed that on August 6th, 1927, Besson, who was then living at the Hall home, had been repinned by Hall for staying out so late at night. The boy it is said, complained of the hard work he was forced to do, and only asked which he was forced to live. The boy resented this and sought revenge. He carried this out by placing powdered rat poison in the baby's milk and also added some to the coffee the family had for breakfast. During the meal, Hall's wife had the boy take the baby for a ride in the car, and later the young baby was brought home in convulsions and while being carried to the Eston hospital died. The next day Hall remarked to several people that they had not noticed a bitter taste in the coffee and some suggested that it might have been poison. Constable Williamson was notified and arrested the boy. Under a severe grilling cover on the jail at Centreville, Besson is said to have confessed to the crime. Penitentiary authorities said today that Besson had not yet reached the institution, but that his arrival was expected. He will be the yot guest prisoner in the penitentiary, the warden said, and altho only a young boy his associates for the next 18 months be admitted some of them of the type that a child should not be kept in contact with. Penitentiary authorities declare this is not the first case of a child being sent to penitentiary. Charles Jones, aged 12, was committed to the Maryland Penitentiary in November, 1903, having been sentenced to a 15-year term for killing a woman in a Lexington street conspiracy store. He was released May 1916. Bryson is also eligible for parole after he has served one-third of his term, and may be given five days off his term in each month for good Xavier. WINS $500 Washington, D.

CONSUMPTION AT CHELTENHAM Soggy cases of consumption were found by members of the last Grand Jury at Cheekenham, according to their Grand Jury report just printed.

Of the 300 boys there, 200 are from Baltimore City, and most of them are bored out, says the report, on various farms in the area. The Grand Jury chance of getting an education. The Grand Jury recommends that the State take over Cheekenham, which is a private institution, or put it under State supervision. Much dissatisfaction seems to be current among owners of lots in our two cemeteries because of the general run-down condition of the graves. Many seem to feel that gross negligence is responsible for this condition. From an authority comes the information that lots could be purchased in a local Catholic burying-ground, new Cathedral cemetery, with a colored section, at an aston- ishing low figure. Since it is found out that Protestants are not prevented from purchases, many have taken advantage of the purchase offer. With the purchase of a loot, goes a guarantee to maintain them in perpetuity with no further cost to the buyer. Indignation has been expressed that the graves of so many prominent churchmen and other prominent men and women are preserved by the proper care or desecrated by the ravages of wandering animals.

"BLOCK" SEGREGATION RULED VALID pourt of Appeals Rules That White Property Owners May Exclude Negroes by Contract CASE IS APPEALED Washington, D. C., June B.—According to an opinion handed down by Justice A. Van Orsdel in Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia yesterday, a number of white property owners may bind themselves to prevent their property from being sold, eased to or occupied by negroes. KEEPING DECISION this is one of the most far-reaching and sweeping decisions handed on by an appellate court on the position of segregation since the decision of the United States Court in Benjamin Franklin's cases. Unlike those, however, decision is a backward step and the way for white persons to indirectly what they are prohibited from doing by legislative action. The case and three other cases were appealed to the U. S. Court. This case arose out of a contract cured into by Mrs. Irene Hand riggan, white, to sell the premises own as 1727 S. street, northwest.

STORY DRAMATIC "I still love Robert," was her parting sentence as her soft voice died against the silence of the crowded court room. In these words she summarized the story of a love "not wisely, but too well" for a man who acceding to testimony" had strenu his pathway with the love of broken-hearted girls and women.

Jones; that the delegation from Georgia, headed by National Committee Henry Lincoln, will be seated in the front of the delegation, and that the second "black man" delegation from the 10th congressional district of Tennessee will also be seated. If any of these delegations are not put upon the temporary poll of the convention, then there will necessarily be a provision of these figures in the colored delegates in the delegation that is sated.

(Continued From Page One) to Mrs. Helen Curtis, Previously, however, Mrs. Curtian together with 22 other white persons, who were property owners adjacent to and in the same immediate neighborhood as this property, mutually executed pied by, or sold, conveyed, leased, rented, or given to Negroes, or any person or persons of the Negro race or blood. "This covenant shall run with the land and bind the respects of the Negroes for the period of 21 years from and after the date of these presents." John J. Buckley, one of the parties to this covenant, filed suit in the equity division of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. He asked the court to enjoin Mrs. Corrigan for a period of 21 years from the date of the covenant from conveying out the contract of sale, and from acquiring and from occupying, selling conveying, leasing, renting or giving the same to a Negro or permit the same to be used or occupied by any Negro for a like period of years. Thir Attorney James A. Cobb, Mrs. Corrigan and Mrs. Curris filed a motion to dismiss the bill on the ground that the covenant is void in that it possesses them and others of property which is owned by law, abjures the privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States and denies them equal protection of the law. Chief Justice McCoy, of the District Court denied the motion to dismiss. He issued a decree of injunction as sought by the plaintiff. The defendants appealed. COURTS DECISION In delivering the opinion of the court, Justice Van Orseld said in port: "The sole issue is the power of a number of land owners to execute and record a covenant runnable to the land, and they bind themselves, their heirs and assists, during a period of 21 years to prevent any of the land described in the covenant from being leased to or occupied by Negroes. "The constitutional right of a Negro to acquire, own, and occupy property does not carry with it the constitutional power to compel the tenant to rent to him of any particular private property. The individual citizen, whether he be black or white, must be to sell or lease his property to him of any particular individual or class of individuals." No Discrimination "The power of these property owners to exclude one class of citizens implies the power of the other class to exercise the same preemptive right they may own. What is denied one class may be denied the other. There is, therefore, no disambation within the Civil Rights clauses of the Constitution." After citing a decision of the United States Supreme Court, Justice Van Dorsel said that statutes requiring separate white and nonwhite students with regulations providing for the segregation of the races in municipal play grounds, municipal golf courses, municipal tennis courts and municipal bathing beaches," the legislatures in the exercise of their police powers. Not Against Public Policy "It follows that the segregation of the race by the law by statute or private agreement, where the method adopted does not amount to the denial of fundamental constitutional rights, can lead to be against public policy. Nor can equality of the races be attained either by legislation or by the forcible assertion of assumed rights." Attorney James A. Cobb, represents the defendants, has announced that an appeal will be taken to the Supreme Court of the United States.

James, professionally known as Dud, who heads a company that produces this book, is an example of one of these kinds of destiny, a conversation revealing that the actor and producer was a graduate from the theological department of Tugaloo University, an institution run by the American Missionary Society for the training of a civil servant. This school is situated about 7 miles from the town of Jackson, Miss. Mr. James, a native Louisiana, was an animal trainer in the early years, making a specialty of the conditioning of thoroughbred horses, but also a successful trainer of dogs and other small animals. We have seen the almost uneasy intelligence of one of the canine timekeepers, efficiency, high moral tone, and expiancy of young folk bespeaks the dent affection of his splendid commun of the cloth. With Sydney Woodward "My Father," says our subject, chose my school for me because of its location in a rural section. He said that New Orleans was too wicked a city in which a serious student should be. As a classmate, Sydney Woodward the still young fellow received a splendid course of voice training in Durham, Mass. Completing his musical course he was sent in 1893 to the Worlds Fair in Chicago, where he appeared under the amusees of the missionary society as a singer of Gospel hymns. With him were associated many of the most celebrated Negro singers of that day. He says that two days and two nights were spent from Jackson, Miss., to Chicago.

The splendid resonant voice, the devout suneir air of the man, his kindly consideration for the welfare of others all bespoke the man of the cloth. His familiarity with literature was evidenced by frequent quotations from Shakespeare and the classics.

IN BANVILLE IN BOSTON "IN BAMVILLE" OPENED MONDAY at the Tremont Theatre, Boston, for an intimate stay. The engagement brought the following comment: "Variety, "Hoping out the colored play situation now for a future is a lot difficult. When Sissie and Diane were in town, and went into the selwyn, they drove the house records. On their last visit here they did not do quite so well, and were moved by several attractions at a cheap sort that did not go over." THE DRAMATIC CLUB OF THE Armstrong In of Washington, D.C., presented "Toppa," a Mexican musical comedy, at the Douglass Theatre on last Friday evening. Without any attempt to punish the work of the performers, there was a tendency to declare their names as though it was a hard task to be imbued before the closing cell song. The set depicting Outsider a Village Jim, Mexico, was made using a soundtrack made have seen in any of the amateur productions. Henry Nelson "24," Theresa Brown "22," Pete Kobble "20" and Beatrix Snyder "24," were the leading characters in the costumes of quirky, male and female, were distinctly pleasing. PROFESSIONAL AMATEURS FUNNY THING ABOUT THE "professional amateur," they remind one of Trin Heap, a Dickens character. They are very humble and charming. With a hurt arm they explain it so and that had been different so and so and soon and such would have been the case. They've believed that they have the attentive to charge regular prices for some very interior entertainment, and then fall on their amateur status in the piece that doesn't get noticed. The characters and animators and animators are the first to "give the bird" to the professional, who must deliver, or do without a "hop" or the "takes" in the cook-houses of a person with some physical detective who will use all number of billigage and then fall back on his mortality when the recipient retaliates.

An unusual feature was the success of character portrayal and the demonstration on a spindled singing wave. Eliza Fitzgerald was the producer and the producer unsuccessful on three weeks ago in Walsburg, Virginia. This artist's girl has progressed to a point that a little short of marvelous, and a little worse for Mr James as a teacher. Now Mr James as a teacher girl had never seen a stage before.

Henry Moore, the second comedian is also one of the wide awake, proceeding every now and then. The superine quality of Dåd James's splendid singing and kindred talents are evidenced by the training of the choir and the enjoyment of entertainers. The discipline is not severe, yet a commendable feature of the conduct is the fact that the choristers and leading women are total abstrathers from both alcohol and Samson, white, the strong-man who has appeared here before, pleasantly captures the light lifting and the other stunts featured by acts of this class.

Strange indeed is it that churches promote dancing and singing doesn't lay "Onward Christian Soldiers" when they go down the Bay. An odd shuffling of moral double standards makes this "rattle all right" raising the lilac hue for the cages. There is, however, one church of our knowledge that adheres to their code which makes dancing by a memorial, illegal, and when it gives the dance strong support that a hat band is permitted. Not even the "Remington Christian Cornet Band," with a Bible engraved on the bass drum and playing "Shall We Meet?" would be counted among the latter is certainly no musical cut-out.

HAD A PROFITABLE AND pleasant conversation with Bert House and Bette Mack, two old-time theater stars, on Tuesday evening. The conversation of course was "the theatre shop." After dissecting present day conditions in the profession, we drifted to remember the relatively few years ago John Hudgins, Fred Jennings, Lottie Gee, and Eubie Blake were preparing for their next show on the same set on which we were. Everyone was agreed, that we were mighty proof of the success of this gossip show, and that an incentive for application and square-shooting. There are endless opportunities for many more to climb under the big top, to profit from six-shooting and get to work where the game is worth the candle in the improved working conditions and the increased retumement, obtained by the chance to acquire fame. JOHN CHURCHILL, THE SINGER appearing at the Lincoln last week was taught to yodel by Charles Anderson, Churchill is a native of Youngsville, North Carolina, and education in the elementary and high school. He is now recording for the Paramount Company, and has completed three yodel-identifiers. One of the yodelers is a young man, Charles Anderson, and Emmett Anthony. This form of singing is common to the Swiss and Tyrolean shepherds where it is said that the climber will yodel, the villain will, the variable one is produced by the performers who change from head to chest tones, now if memory serves but Barbara Anderson, Churchill is a Pennsylvania, and to the best of our knowledge, neither of these singers has any Swiss blood. I do not know if the climber should acquire by intensive application a form of singing so, admittedly, for removed from their natural artistic heritage.

"Birthright" has for its theme the prosecution and prosecution of the Negro by Southern whites. How the Negro advances and overcomes prejudice is vividly portrayed in this小说.

'WHITE MAGIC' IS EAST INDIAN FILM Foremost among motion picture character actors is Bertram Grassby, who has been engaged to play the prominent role of the indian in the film *The Shadow* in George Archambaud's production of "The Shadow of the East," presented by William Fox. This sensational novel from the pen of E. M. Holl, author of *The Nielks*, was adapted by the Academy and Terry Farris, June 13th, and July 13th. "In India," declares Mr. Grassby who has made a special study of Hindu philosophy and religion, "there is a sect known as the priests of Sheva. Sheva is the bad god, or, as the Orientals express it, the power of the opposite," equivalent to the Devil. At a ceremonial event, the priests of Sheva work their black magic. The ceremony, consists of mesmerizing a number of adolescent youths who are then commanded to walk along certain streets and then return to the temple. Finally, these youths, still in the mesmerized state, are doped, losing entirely the sense of feeling, mats and spikes on their feet. They walk alongside parade the streets, returning to the temple, where they die. Thus display of so called 'black magic' is to make the people religious and devoted to Sheva through tear.

HUSKY Call VErnon 6016 Philadelphia, Pa., June 4.—(A. N. P.)—According to Dr. Howard Shiren, professor of Assyriology at the University of Pennsylvania, the Babylonians and Hebrews of ancient times faked the ages of their heroes to hide their ignorance of history. That historians of that day knew that the world was much older than they had any definite knowledge of and that to fill in the gaps of their information they were forced to make the lives of certain popular heroes stretch over vast periods of time. In this manner the lives of ten kings were made to stretch over 1322 years of method according to the professor, was used in determining or deciding on the ages of Biblical heroes such as Methuselah. DYER BILL IS DEAD FOR THIS CONGRESS New York, May 30.—James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth avenue, today made the following statement on the Dyer Anti-Lynch Hill. "Dyer Anti-Lynch Hill is still on the calendar as House Bill No. 1. The resolution for a rule to make it a special order of business is still in the House Committee on Rules. No report on the Dyer Anti-Lynch Hill sufficient pressure, a rule could have been secured, we believe, from the Committee, and it is possible that the Hill might have been jammed through the House before the adjournment of Congress. But course was not pursued for the following." 1. The plans made by the leaders contemptuated the adjournment of Congress the early part of June, and the difficulty in possibility of getting any action on the bill in the Senate before the adjournment of Congress, even if it had been passed by the House, was because of the disorganized investigations, etc. We felt that the passage of the bill by the House and the adjournment of Congress is worse. Senate could not have the Senate to approve Bill a factional political issue and a bait for colored votes without any definite assurance of action by the Senate on the re-assuming of the bill. We shall move strongly for passage of this legislation by both houses immediately upon the re-convening of Congress. 65 PUPILS ATTEND MD.

D., Pastor Come hear Madam Gant, Madam Correll Recite Script with such CATHOLIC URGES RACE LEADERSHIP CATHOLIC URGES RACE LEADERSHIP Colored Catholic leadership is urged by William M. Markoow, S. J. (white) in the current issue of "America," a Catholic weekly. Colored Catholic leadership is urged by William M. Markoow, S. J. in the current issue of "America," a Catholic weekly. I urge this brief summary of Negro progress should convince Catholics that the conversion of the Negro is a work of the highest importance, a work of national as well as of religious value, a work of Christian faith. It should continue us of the important need of such undertakings as the Cardinal Gibbons apostle, national pastor, and Catholic youth and of Catholic Negro education in general. Without education we can never hope to make a serious impression on the race. But with faith in Jesus Christ and with much good can be done. With or without our help the Negro will continue to make progress. If we assist in his advancement his progress will be slow and we may expect that our cooperation will enable him better to see Catholicism in its true light. If we continue to stand short of our goal, we will advancement will be largely of a material more only and may do him more harm than good. As Senator Walsh has said, the greatest single opportunity the Catholic Church in America is the conversion of the Negro.

That it did not reach our ears; But she heard the sound of his loving voice. And she was full of joy, no fears. Sad she loved the love ones. Yet drive as she'd have them to be. Consoled by the thought of the meeting. On the shores of eternity. For to-hearts that her going made lonely Comes the whisper of tenderest love: "Weep not for the passing, my loved Your dear one is waiting above." FROM THE FAMILY. BOWMAN—I Arthur Bowman departed this life after all. He was the beloved son of Mrs. Amanda Bowman, of Baltimore. He leaves to mourn, three sisters and two brothers and relatives and friends.

O we miss more than heart or tongue can tell. Vet, again we hope to meet here when on earth our work is done. BY HER DEVOTED CHILDREN. DAWSON—In sad but loving remembrance of my dear brother, who departed this life, May 15, 1923. A precious one from me has gone. A voice I loved is still. A whale is great in my heart. Whale which I love is his sickness and sorrow is over. He has entered the beautiful city, And dwells on the Golden shore. By his loving sister, Mrs. Mary J. Branich, Aberdeen, Md.

But engraved on memory's tablet, is the name well never forget. Yes, in the great beyond same day, After all our work is done; After all our work is done. Of the loved one I want to rest. And those who still remember him Are the ones who loved him best. Oh, the vacant chair in the lonely house. My heart grows sick with pain; I long for one glove of the vanished form That will never come back again. Sadly I gaze through the twilight of tears. With eyes that are anxious and fond; And wait for the Master to summon to them To the land that hath beyond. BY HIS PARENTS, BROTHER AND SISTER. How we miss the welcome presence Of the one we loved so dear Off we listen for her foot-steps. Feeling sure that she is near. When my think she is forgotten. When it tinkles she is snug, smile.

Those who are familiar with the great ADVERTISEMENT are frequently hooted who will be utterly impatient business. NEW YORK ADVERTISEMENT" but this assertion draws from those who are not trinsic value of ADVERTISEMENT these wo in order to sell space." From time immemorial men have been relied from those who have made a study of a p sequence is they have been made a victim. The writer in order to cite proof of whatkind of flies there are, Flies ING RECORD, of Chicago, Ill, that dead business, "The Chicago Daily News in 1822 agate lines of advertisement. In cold cash $6,712,000." There are seven DAILY PAPERS Had any one said that the horse would be replaced by automobiles back in the eighteenth century, that person would have been made a fit subject for the insane asylum. As late as the end of the nineteenth century men who pressaged the success of the aeroplane were classed as dreamers. Those who are familiar with the great game of newspaper ADVERTISINGEMENT are frequently hooted when they say that "it will be utterly impossible for a business to succeed devoid of NEWSPAPER ADVERTISINGEMENT in future years." this assertion comes from those who are not mindful of the intrinsic value of ADVERTISINGEMENT these words. "You say that in order to sell space." From time immemorial men have been reluctant to take counsel from those who have made a study of a particular line. The writer in order to cite proof of whatkind of ADVERTISING PAYS quotes here with the figures compiled by the ADVERTISING RECORD CO. of, Chicago, Ill., that deals in this particular business. "The Chicago Daily News in 1923 carried 20,900,682 agate lines of advertisement. In cold cash this space brought $6,712,000." There are seven DAILY PAPERS in Chicago, to say nothing of the weekdays and various periodicals known as first class advertising mediums. They too, were given their share which they own. THE AFRO-AMERICAN carried one million lines of advertising during this same period in sixteen pages, which was an average of 19,930 each week. No colored paper can boast of such a record. Why was all of this money spent by business men for space in these two newspapers- The answer: THE CHICAGO DAILY NEWS is considered the best ADVERTISING MEDIUM in the Middle West. THE AFRO-AMERICAN by reason of the fact that it has the largest circulation of any colored paper in this section has been selected by the STUDIOUS ADVERTISER TO SELL HIS PRODUCTS. THE KIND OF ADVERTISING which pays, is that, that is drawn and written by skilled Ad writers. The wise business man knows this and bases the success of his business ON NEWS-PAPER ADVERTISEMENT. How about your business? Is it at a stand-still or is it doing well? Are you willing to go down among those whose failure in business is inevitable in the next decade if they fail TO USE THE NEWSPAPER? Are you ready to join the great host that is being made right now in the columns of the NEWSPAPER? IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE. USE THE NEWSPAPER TO PROMOTE YOUR BUSINESS and your success will be assured.

Madison 3550-W CHAUFFEUR DRIVES 438,000 MILES Albert Babb, City's First Gas Wagoner, Practically Made Round Trip To Moon OLD DAYS ARE REGALLED 24 Years Ago, Auto Created Sensation In Colored Sections By Kennard Williams The way of the automobile, like that of the transgressor, has been hard. From the beginning prohibitive tolls and legislative action were fostered by those who interests related to horse haulage. The assignment from the office to assemble the facts about the first colored chauffeur has been equally as hard as the above, but we couldn't renge, so from the mass of sought information and volunteered misinformation we pass the acquired facts carefully screened, on. George K. Ford (from de plume, "Track") an old resident, tells that Alex. Bosley was the first colored chauffeur, and drew an Auto Car about him. According to our informant Bosley was employed by Richard Goodhill, the present agent for a well known tire, who kept a garage at that time. If personal recruitment will be tolerated and excused, we add that Doseley was, the first Negro driver we recall, and further remember the thrill he gave us by backing said vehicle on Biddle street. However, it was pointed out to us by other informants that Alex. Bosley was a Washingtonian, so our usurpant to do with the first colored Marylander to drive a car, we are compelled to disallow the claim on a technically. All facts point to Albert Eddie as the first champion of our group in the State of MN" as he is popularly known by his friends and acquaintances who are legion, was sent to the Winton factory in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1900 by the late Senator Isadore Barnett. There he was instructed in the mechanics and driving of Stanley Steamers and Wintons propelled cars. He comprised at this factory for one and a half years. Returning to Baltimore, Bobdriver for Senator Hayner and opened an automobile school. Among his pupils in the order named, were the colonel busselman, Houston Dennis, Eulare "A" Eulare, formerly chaplain of the Justin Isaac Emerson of Loomis Solitzer fancie; Nathan Hill, who has been with Mr. Francis White for 18 years or more, the well known William Paul, and others, were the beneficiaries of the knowledge acquired by Mr. Babb. FIRST AUTO SCHOOL N. Tip Slee (white) who now resides on Madison avenue, and whose name was a household word in the days of bicycles and the beginning days of horseless carriages, also instructed a number of young colored fellows, in driving, incurring the authority of his white associates. According to Mr. Slee, he was the most disliked man in Eastlake for firefighting. Will Watt, colored, the first volunteer in the city was also employed by Mr. Slee's firm. Uncle "Wash" Green, who was the father of the late Harry Green, is acknowledged to be the first car washer. Mr. Lee Stevens, one of the plopers, recalls an Oldsmobile steered by a tilter-like contrivance which he drove, and also a Knox porcupine so cuddled in a coolerinder mask. This car was driven by Mr. William Mitchell, another early chauffeur, who now resides at 1706 Metulloh street. ONE CYLINDER CAPILLAC In the school conducted by Eald a two cylinder Winton was used for mechanical instruction and a one-cylinder Cadillac and a Dink were used for road teaching and hacking. During those days the greatest fear of any driver was to go to the Spring Valley and be without a mishap. Gas was of a superior quality, but the waste from the inertia of the engines of that day about to tilted in cost the higher price of 1924. The changing has also been speeded up. In the infancy of the automobile industry clincher fabric tires were used, and to change them two to three hours was sometimes consumed. My informant laughingly referred to the old chain and the humble necessity to lie prone while admitting the chains to spockets which they had jumped. FIRST WOMAN DRIVER Al also cautioned us to remember Mrs. Bertha Foote, the first race woman chauffeur licensed in the city. This lady makes her own repairs and carries tourists to any part of the U. S. A. An interesting angle of the conversation led to the unearthiness of a story about a Roo owned by whites which when driven in a colored section by a colored boy caused as much comment as the eruption of Vesuvius. 438 000 MILES For the last 16 years, Mr. Babb has been employed by Mr. H. Weisfeld. His speedometer records for this period average 176,000 miles. His longest earthly tour has been from Baltimore to Seattle to Jacksonville, Florida and return; but allowing the minimum mileage to be 50 miles per day for 366 days for the 24 years that he has been driving, Al. has driven 88,000 miles, or to the moon and back. He has had the unique distinction of never breaking down so that he could not make immediate repairs and has never had to send for a tow for any cause. He is a vigorous young fellow, doubtless due to his out-door activities, amiable, unusually well-informed, an all-around good fellow. U. S. Weather Report JUNE 2 TO 7.

Arrest Of Agents, Wholesalers and Dope Kings Last Week Believed to Have Cleaned Up City DR. CARROLL IN JAIL No Effort Made To Bail Physician And Wife who Are Said To Have Confessed Drug Selling The ramifications of the drug rank, police say, extends into all parts of the city, and in addition to Dr. and Mrs. Daniel Carroll, the physician and his wife arrested, who are said to have confessed selling morphine, others of apparent good reputation are said to be under the public has no idea of some of the men and women who are dope users and are likely to be exposed most any day. According to the authorities, the usual done organization consists of a "hope king" who has the drug smuggled in on ships or brought here by messenger. Then there is the "wholesaler" and finally the "agent," each of whom is said to have given the 64 agents with the drug, Dr. and Mrs. Carroll it is said, were "agents," and federal agents disguised as addicts are said to have purchased morphine from them. Inquiry disclosed the fact that friends of the physician knew that he was an addict and had often advised him to quit. Dr. Carroll is said to have told federal agents he longed for a pen term in order to receive medical treatment and that his wife and his wife were held under $3,000 bail and no effort was made to secure their release. Permit Reyoked Three months ago, Dr. Carroll was warned that he was under investigation, when his permit to discharge drug was revoked by federal authorities, however, and was caught. Neither the physician or his wife would see an AFRO reporter who called at the jail this week. Attendants brought back word to the RK. Trial of the alleged dope sellers is set tentatively for the latter part of next week, and the couple now occupying separate cells are expected to receive penitentiary terms, although a strenuous effort is secure the liberty of Mrs. Carroll. Dr. Daniel Carroll comes from one of the oldest and most respected families in the State. He is a graduate of Morgan College, and Howard Medical School. Both have earned degrees that give their son a higher education were heartbroken over the fate which has overtaken him. --- AZIZE B.

HARRIS COPS HOLD UP SOX IN NEW TRUCK The whole Black Sox baseball team had their first trip to the Laurel lookup last week while enroute by way of the Washington boulevard, to the Capitol to play Ben Taylor's Potomac. It was the first trip in the new White truck, and anything went along swimming until a policeman held them up and asked to see their registration card. The driver showed him the cards both for the old and new truck, but it wasn't satisfactory and he hauled them in. The difficulty was straightened out at the Laurel station, but only after one of the Laurel officials told that he ought to have $5 for his trouble. The delay held the team up a half hour, but they arrived in time to play the game.

As we stand and turn the pages of the great pictorial record book of the past and present century, we look them over carefully and classify every poet according to race and color. I could tell you a story of Bryan, an English poet, I could tell you a story of Poet, an American white man, but I could tell you a story of Negro, a black man, and a poet, Paul Laurence Dumbar. This Negro and poet sprang from the reflexes of slavery, grew up in a world of knowledge in Dayton, Ohio. And there the famous work began. He from his earliest existence, began to terrible little verses, and then, through his great pictorial genius, Dumbar's poetry is preeminently the work of a scholar and a gentleman, and, as such, his life and the hearts and lives of his country-men. The ethical teaching of his verse, with that grit and pop that it takes to move more, has never erase to be remembered. To think of Dunbar, one familiarizes himself with one of the oldest, most famous poets and adds one more name to his list of poetic acquaintances. Dunbar was essentially a man of intellect. No other poet of modern times possesses a poet of long time, appends more directly to the great poetic world through the voice of the Nero, in dialect, and classical style. He cannot honor him enough nor praise him enough and we shall never forget him. The name of Bryan, Shakespeare, and Bryant, have long been renowned poets, but Dunbar, a Nero and a poet shall never ring in down through the ceaseless ages. He was appeared when Nero was old and young must disin the poets in the clear records of art and write upon the minds of men, the name of this man, the great poet and century, Paul Lawrence Dunbar.

Eutaw Street, Baltimore, Md. Here are some of the many stories received this week: PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR Paul Laurence Dunbar was the first poet of his race. He was born in Dayton, Ohio. His parents were Joshua and Elizabeth Dunbar, who knew more than they did about the world, and what their race has done. His mother loved poetry and of course it follows that he was of African blood and suffered many hardships, before his talents were recognized, but they only served to make him more determined to achieve something. He took footprints for us to follow. One of the best things, we know about him was he loved his mother dearly. From Hattie F. Orkneyen, Box 178, R. F. D. 1, Easton, Md. DUNBAR'S FIRST BOOK DUNBAR'S FIRST BOOK Dunbar began to write verses. He gave the little verses to his mother to keep for him. She did not know that the papers he gave her contained verses on them. She read them to him. Dunbar asked papers he wanted to be saved. When Paul was twenty years of age, encouraged by a number of men who promised him financial aid, he home asked his mother for his papers telling her he was going to publish a book of his poems. She directed him to them. The woman saying his little bundle of poems. When he reached his so-called friends, they refused to make good their promise, so he went to the publisher without fun. The business manager of the concern was once hearted. After hearing Dunbar's story, he told Dunbar he needed his books printed with him. The kindness of Mr. William Eichler. Dunbar's first book of poems was printed. The book was called "Oak and Joy Beans." This book was a Dunkar sold his books while operating his elevator. He made money enough from his books to pay Mr. Blacher for printing them. Albert C. Douglass, $10 Vine St. OUR RIVETER STILL IS WORLD'S CHAMP New York, June 4.—Although after a remarkable performance on May 19th, Goodman Rich, white, an expert riveter, who had just driven 368 seven-inch inclines rivets in 277 of them in an average time, before than eight per minute, laid claim to the world's riveting record. Investigation of official riveting records shows that Chas, Knight, of Baltimore, stole the world's riveting record as a riveter. At the works of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, in 1918, Knight drove 4,875 three-quarter inch rivets in a nine-hour day, or an average of better than nine a minute. The speed of Knight's rivets is still the world title. A white riveter in the Scotland shipyards is also close to the riveting speed kings.

N. Waring still stands as president of Downingtown Industrial Institute, Downingtown, Pa. The board of trustees of the Institute at its annual meeting last week selected as president James H. N. Waring, Jr., assistant professor of Germania at U.S. University, Washington, to fill the vacancy by the death of Dr. H. N. Waring, Sr., well known and loved in the city as the principal of the Douglass High School, Training School and a number of elementary schools. The Debate With West The late Dr. Waring, thrus his ability as an administrator rose to the place where he was virtually head of the local colored school system with the rank of group principal, but with the authority of an assistant superintendent. Mention of the late Dr. Waring always recalls his classic retort to Dr. West then assistant superintendent, now superintendent of city schools. The question was on the advisability of keeping certain text books in the schools which discussed the civil war of 1860 as in war of the rebellion, Dr. West in war of the civil war, the college "Remember that I am the son of a "conferderate officer" Dr. Waring's reply equally bigged was "And I, sir am the son of a Union officer." Finished local schools President Waring, also born in Washington come to Baltimore and attended college here and finished the douglas High School, afterwards completed With a number of Howard instructors and students, he was active in the establishment of the Des Moines la. training Camp during World War II, he was given a commission there as a first lieutenant, and served overseas with the 367th Infantry.

THE STAGE AND RACE RELATIONS The invasion of Ford's Theatre by Sissle and Blake last week reminds us that while statesmanship falters and religion balks at interracial unity, talented men and women are singing and acting themselves across the color line. No one could have witnessed this performance without being deeply impressed by the art, intelligence and beauty of this group of actors. The evolution of the spirit of tolerance for other than the old time minstrel funmakers, especially in Southern communities, also shows that the lines which bar worth-while accomplishments are fading.

While children in every section of the country are needlessly dwarfed by driving them prematurely into factories, it is in the South that it is done on such a wholesale basis. For years in the great cotton factories of the South, white children have toiled while colored children, barred from these plants have been sent into school. Uneducated, narrow, and hardened by lack of development, these backward white children grown into manhood have been the greatest enemies of Negro progress.

Every year this procession of young men and women who leave school for active life lengthens. But the most pleasing aspect of the matter this year is the wide range of activities represented. Young men and women are coming to realize that the teaching, legal and medical professions are not the only fields open to them and are reaching out into many avenues. Business, electrical and mechanical engineering, journalism, practical chemistry, and social service are more largely represented this year than ever before. All hail to the growing procession of young Negro graduates. To those who finish the 8th grade, we say, go to a trade school, go to a high school. To the secondary school graduates we say, go to an academic or business college. Commencement is a mere beginning. If you are poor in academic work and good in practical work, chose a trade school. Make a sacrifice while you are young to stay in school and fit yourself properly for the severe competition life brings. It is better to spend four years more in study now, than to spend the rest of a life time regretting the lack of a higher education. "Without me no man has ever achieved success, nor has has any nation ever become great. "I have been the bedrock of every successful career and cornerstone of every fortune.

Infidelity sanction divow There can be divorce makes t tion. But like inhibition, divorce its outlet. M men homes, wha l condition. Ivils. The real solut guidance of th THE METHODISTS AND DIVORCE Although the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church lifted the ban against dancing and theatres, it has in a certain sense tightened its attitude toward divorce. Infidelity is the only ground on which that church will sanction divorce. There can be no question that the constant increase of divorce makes this a vital problem for Christian consideration. But like prostitution, that other ancient evil, and prohibition, divorce must be attacked at its source rather than its outlet. Merely to deny legal separation in cases of broken homes, whatever the cause, will not help the general social condition. In many cases it will produce even greater evils. The real solution of the divorce evil lies in more practical guidance of the young in the vital problems and duties of home making in all of its aspects. Divorce records show that one out of every five marriages ends in separation. This condition will obtain as long as young men and young women enter the marriage relation ignorant of its fundamental aims and duties—as long as it is considered the end of a romance rather than the beginning of a sacred obligation to carry on the human race.

The FORUM It is Impossible to Stop Dancing. But Dance Halls Can Be Properly Regulated if the Community Will Insist On It To the Editor: Any woman or girl having any reason to dance themselves and others will never enter a dance hall. The dance hall and the ball room door is the next gate to hell. One dancing master said he danced from New York to Florida, and any woman or girl who wanted to keep a good friend would never enter the room. It is stated there are sixty-five thousand women and girls who go stray in one year. And 65 per cent of them said the cause of their downfall was in the dance hall. If you don't want the circle to be unbroken in morning, stay out of the dance hall. M. L. DOUGLASS, Wattsville, Va. Would Have N. A. A. C. P. Protest Against Use of Photos as Means of Civil Service Identification. Many complaints have been made against the unjust Civil Service rules as applied to colored people. The rule which requires applicants for examination to furnish photographs has been the common rule in the greatest hindicap to persons seeking the best positions in the government. In fact, this rule has practically eliminated colored people from the departmental service. Photographs are used as a means of identification and are supposed to be framed or the possibility of an applicant putting a substitute in the examination. It also serves another purpose of allowing the certifying and appointing officers to take undue advantage of colored people by giving opportunity to discard any name desired before app The colored man is entitled to justice and an equal chance. This he will demand. As a substitute for the photograph the writer would suggest the use of a new type of identification. No reasonable objection could be made to this practical and business method. Finger prints are used for this purpose in some of the postal savings banks, department of Justice, army, navy, police department, detective agencies and other private companies. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which represents a very large number of our group, make a request of the Civil Service Commission that finger prints be used as a substitute for portraits. EDWARD L. CARTER Branchville, Md. Urges Young Women to Have Flirts Arrested Why is it that our men cannot show due respect to our women? Why does any man speak to a young lady without knowing her? I have been walking along the streets down town, and seen men yelling across the street at young ladies just because the young lady looks next and becoming, away from him, with his man who yells across the street to a young lady has no respect for his mother. A HINT TO THE YOUNG WOMEN OF OUR RACE IN THE CITY OF BALTIMORE.—If any man, unless he is a very close relative of yours, should yell at you or the streets, have him arrested and the law will protect you. A gentleman is not going to yell or speak to you unless he knows you.

MASON News Item.—Mayor Howard Jackson has completed his first year as Democratic Mayor of Baltimore; Governor Ritchie is beginning his second term as Governor of the State. Professor Fudge This is not an ecclesiastical column and I promise in the future not to module in any more church affairs, unless such affairs must be given the once over, but before giving them back to the "in-door sports" writer I would like to have a word in regard to the fact that women come to my notice. The first matter concerns remarks made by a certain protestant church about bobbed haired and bare-armed women. The second matter concerns remarks made by two parties about a minister in the church. In the first place, it appears some of the " Bible pounders" want all bobbed haired and bare-armed women kept out of the house of God and I suppose if the lady is both bobbed haired and bare-armed they will get a warrant out for her. Nothing can be found in the church, so the matter is up to the church for its consideration. On the other hand, the hobbied-brained women would hardly care. Any number of them have not been in church since they had their hair cut, and lots of them were never in church. But the women who will boss out trying because they have been disbarred and most of them will get to Heaven by the back door route anyhow, and their passage won't cost anything. But there are other reasons why the "pulpit contortionist" should not try to be so tight. The banners behind their hair are too tight. They live just like the preachers. Then, speaking for myself, I would not like to see the Ministers of the Gospel setting fashions. Thirdly, the thing would be unfair. Many of our women folk have always had their hair bobbed. At no time in of Madam Walker could they muster up enough hair to use a hairpin. Would the Reverend Gentlemen stop these folk from entering the Temple when their hair was bobbed by our Lord himself? So much for the brick thrown by the church. Now let's look over the books thrown by Prof. W. E. B. Durkis and Mr. Daniel Payne, Jr. Daniel Payne, Jr. Daniel went right into the Lion's Den. Up to the present Daniel has not turned the Lion's Den wrong side out, but he is working in that direction. Daniel's troubles are mostly local. He picks out a man and works on him. Bishop L. Albert Johnson is the subject of his attack, and in due time we will have Johnson or Daniel. Batting is fifty to one. Daniel will never come out of the Lion's Den, for he has gone in too far. Daniel says Bishop Johnson is un-confused, ungaitant and un-kind and if he was under him he would "cuss" him. Dr. "DuBois" speaks up for a good man, Bishop Brooks, but while he is speaking of Bishop Brooks he throws a brick or so. He tells us most of the bishops don't believe in the ethics of Jesus Christ and many other things. Of course you don't have to believe it, but Dr. "DuBois" said it in last week's APRO. Personally, when he was a minister, where he said one of the ministers had stolen the dough, I quit him. I'll shut my mouth and my dog ain't in that fight. I offer a compromise. If the church will leave our bobbed hairied women alone possibly some one can get a bobbed hairied woman to talk Prof. "DuBois" off the bishops and the rest of the money changers. Sissle and Blake The city knows that Blake and Sissle were in Baltimore last week. The city city council chates it. Earnville turned out to be the most "stomping down" show we have had this season and the best colored show ever. Everybody knows how Eubie performed. He proved his rights to the heavyweight championship belt for light and heavy music, but few knew that Mr. Blake came near having a degree conferred upon him while he was with Mr. Blake does not know it himself. It happened like this. A few prominent citizens meeting as is Bobbed Hair and The Church None Will Cry Daniel Payne, Jr. Sissle and Blake their wont, in a grog shop, decided that he should be baptised but Rabbi by virtue of his ascetic in D. C. ing charcage, as we all know, are on THE NEGRO such correlations. What this, dead COLLEGE ments in the music world, was due a degree of some sort from a university. After much squubbling, it was finally agreed that he should be the director of All Vamos) placed upon his shoulders, or wherever he wanted it put. This much having been accomplished, a find out committee was given the authority to proceed with the works, the book, the film, the hard and fast, but in the end hit several snags which [will tell] you about. Mastor of Piano With the kind of degree in hand the next thing to do was find a university, which was easy as we only have one, Chayton Williams University. This is as far as the committee got, but it might be interesting to know of their deductions and disappointments. One gentleman claimed no one could deate the Dean of the school, which of course made matters bad, the Dean being an important man hav- could not he found the case was re-argued and one party brought this out. "Suppose," he said. "we found the dean, and after finding him, we found him in money, and after everything was all over, Eubie found out that he had been a D. D. instead of a M. A. P. That would be terrible. Mr. Blake would have to go through life as a deacon and I can assure you Clayton would have to take the mistake, having at no time before made a M. A. P. You understand their degrees go to candidates for Holy Orders and are degrees needed in their business. The point was well taken, and it was decided to drop the matter as it would be for the gentleman called Deacon Blake. No Degree For Eubie As for as I can remember, I know of only one great musician who had "deacon" hung up in his name, and that was "Deacon Johnson, of the City," who had more strong reason why no chances should be taken. If I remember discovered that "Him" Hunt, one of the members, had made Deacon's head run into an ink well which naturally raised a knot, which was bad for a place where they were supposed to practice music, not throwing. In the end, Deacon lost out and maybe because he was a deacon. In this case, we are not taking any chances. We don't want to limit him, they agreed to let Eubie go without the degree for fear he might get the wrong one, and thereby cause a disagreement.

They had never seen anything, not even a train, do not know what a telephone is, nor know what a phone is. Now, the question is, what nationality they are. I was told in one of our public schools in Boston that the most of them are colored. Now will you favor me and tell me just who they are and whether or not the most of them are colored. ROBERT BAILEY, Boston, Mass. KELLY MILLER SAYS KELLY MILLER SAYS Catholics have a national university at Washington. Presbyterians and Methodists plan one. Baptists have offered $2,000,000 to regain control of George Washington University. Negroes have in Howard already the foundations for a national university, and is the only complete race university in the land. It only needs the united determination and enthusiastic purpose of the race to make it truly national. A NATIONAL NEGRO UNIVERSITY The several great distinctive groups in our cosmopolitan American population are proposing or planning central schools of learning appropriate to such groups. The Catholic University of America located at the national capital is built upon a foundation that is as broad and comprehensive as the Church itself. This vast religious estate comprises in its membership fully one-fifth of the whole people. Although the school is little or no disciple against Catholics in any of the existing schools of learning yet they feel that they have peculiar professional and cultural needs which demand a special institutional treatment. The Methodist denomination has already laid the foundation of a Central Methodist* university in the national capital. The Baptists of the South have just proposed to the George Washington University, located at the federal seat of government that they would like to regain their former control of this institution, and have offered two million dollars for this purpose. The Presbyterian Church would have proposed a great national University at Washington as some sort of intellectual and spiritual offset to Trinity. It is noticeable that all of these existing and proposed central institutions are located at the seat of government. The advantage of a group University consists in an adaptable regime suitable to the peculiar requisition of the public. The question of pride and propaganda also figures largely in the equation. There are certain educational constants that never vary to meet the exigencies of denominational or racial aims. The differentiation between any one group institution and any other denominational college is not very great. It is the spirit of the group that the group institution strives to preserve. The outward curricula are practically the same in all great American schools. But the denominational institutions seek through the curriculum to cultivate publicly their own aims and ideals. In an effort to form the general educational provision is wholly voluntary on part of the denominational institution. With the Negro race there is a different story. The Negro is separated in its educational provision by the general policy of the dominating race. The Negro college is not of preference, but by compulsion. The current policy of the university will paraphrase of racial features. In essential qualities, knowledge is knowledge and truth is truth. There can be no ethnic variants. Mathematics, science, and ethics will be the same whether arranged for the white boy or the black. Negro colleges had their origin in the philanthropic endeavors. The centers designed to be to plant centers of informing and refining influences in places which would most quickly reach and reclaim the needy who were dying for the light. The situation was greatly complicated by denominational zeal. Each of the great Christian denominations sought to explore the newened field in quest of prose- There was little or no thought of a national institution which would focus the educational life of the race. The several denominations had their own educational school and within its own sphere of operation, but there was no purpose to integrate the educational effort of the whole race. It so happened that there existed at the capital of the nation a group of patriotic and philanthropically disposed men who were caught up by the general spirit then prevailing in earnest council and decided to establish Howard University. Their purpose was no more comprehensive nor their aim more extensive than that of the founders of several other colleges in different parts of the country. But by sheer virtue of location and the unfolding of events, this institution gained the head place in the hierarchy of Necesary. Through fortunate juncture of circumstances, the federal government was induced to grant an annual appropriation. As this allowance became permanent and expansive the institution was able to enlarge and develop many features of work schools not so generously favored. Howard University thus became the largest and most comprehensive of all colored colleges. Under these circumstances, it was natural enough to set up the claim of a national Negro University. The claim was fully justified by location, federal support and the range and scope of its curriculum, from this stipulation this unique institution today asserts and vindicates the tile. Although it was not consciously planned nor designed as the national Negro university it is clearly destined to play that role. A national university must have a nation-wide consistency, a nation-wide by the title of voluntary allegiance, but by organic obligation. The Catholic Church is UNIVERSITY A NATIONAL COLLEGE maintenance, support and direction of organically committed to the mainsthe Catholic University of America The Methodist University is the creature of that great denomination. Before Howard can complete the life mission he be obligated the life must be obligated for its maintenance and support. GRANTS FROM This is becoming more and more apparent with the passing years. Howard University is the only Negro school, outside of the purely Negro denominational institutions. The institution contributes from the white race. This institution is dependent upon appropriation from Congress and upon tuition from the student body. The grants from Congress can in no proper term be construed as donation from the white race. The grants from the university are unpaid by Negro tax payers and appropriated to this institution as a moral equity for excluding the race from governmental institutions which the Negro's taxes help to support. Negro appropriated Negro money for the support of a Negro national school. There is general acceptance of this view on part of the colored people. Under sanction of this implied acceptance, Howard will become in a very definite sense the national Negro University. It is a university, not a company, that white people will not contribute to a Negro institution unless they can manipulate it to suit their social policy. The great foundations of philanthropy have accumulated funds to be applied to any type of institution which serves the great end of national well being. They are just as willing to make donation to a Negro enterprise as if shown that such appropriations will result in a national good. But in the main the Negro must assume the responsibility and burden of support. The race has abundant ability to do this if its entitiousism can be aroused and focused on this objective. The recent drive for the endowment of the Negro institution, conclusively proves this assertion. Jealousy and rivalry of other institutions will constitute an obstacle of much difficulty. No one school can do be whole of the work for the race. There is enough and more than enough for all of the institutions now in the field. But in view of the relative poverty of the Negro population, the number of institutions with fully equipped courses and departments in the upper reaches and range of knowledge, it can support one and do that well, on a larger scale and higher lever than the rest. Denominational schools with insistence on their own royalties also have the greatest objective. But even such drawbacks are not imperable. STATESMANSHIP THE NEED The need is so apparent that the race must develop the statesmanship to realize it. All will read literature and learn about the great Negro school with equipment and courses of study, with faculty and facilities that are easily comparable with the great institutions with the only way to secure such an institution. centration and united purpose. Howard University has the foundation and the initial start. It has ment. It has the basis upon which the favor of the federal government to build the pedagogical superstructure. All that is necessary is to corral the united determination and enthusiastic purpose of the face to make of this institution the National Negro University in the true sense of the term.

City State upon Saves You Money—Use It Today Along The Strand Of The Nation's Play Ground THE AFRO-AMERICAN BY R. T. LOCKETT DeParis Scores Big Hit At Shore. Atlantic City, N. J. - Playing to a capacity crowd at Fitzgerald's Auditorium on Thursday night, Wiburn Doharis and his famous Cotton Brothers, along with Philadelphia gave shore music lovers the best and most pleasing demonstration of symphonic music ever heard in this popular auditorium. The Cotton Brothers scored a tremendous hit in the work was highly appreciated by the crowd, gatherings of the resort's elite. This group, consisting of eleven transmitters, came directly from the radio broadcasting station at Lafayette and that was their first application of many capable of pushing the morals of a musical organization they have one of the best teams in the world. Their program was more than the popular Fastball and his New York orchestra. Spontaneous applause followed each number and during the concert they were the most enthusiastic. Their program was of the popular variety and from the first solution struck a pleasing note to which the audience responded with a smile that was the most memorable performance. And the happiness of the audience was reflected in the faces of the orchestra, for the players had always enjoyed their work as much as the people enjoyed listening to them. The playing of the first cornet was especially pleasing and be so became the big favorite. The many pre-narrated sounds he evoked from his assemblage of cornet, long, short trumpets, inमन, in brackets and the various other mouth-producing elements of the procession, were just a little more than marvelous, and he was given a big hand. His interpretation of the "Bagle Call Blues" by the pious, wistfully-wistfully-toed rhythm of the psychohomophonic notes as they pounced melodiously from the mated horn. Mr. Lofiaris, the leader, played a profane and also met with instant fever. The orchestra was condensed by Joshua Sudler, who pleased with a violin solo, accompanied at the piano by Arabes Smith. The trap drummer was very good as was also the player of the big bass horn, the banqast and the second cornet. Perhaps one of the reasons for the success of the group is due to the playing of the three saxophones. Throughout the entire concert they carried the melody and harmony that is really the success of the orchestra. They closed their program with their customary piece broadcasted from Station WAB every Saturday, the "Farrow of APEX PRODUCTS The World's best Hair Preparations AGENTS WANTED MAKE ALL ORDERS FOR THE APEX HAIR CO.

My heart was glad and my soul was exhaled. I was triumphant over my enemies. On the way to the courthouse. Floyd stepped into the little barber shop and clothes cleaning establishment that was being operated by a friend of his to transact a little business, the nature of which I never knew, being the store. While he was inside Maisie and I remained on the sidewalk. We were talking of the jolly times we would have in future when a fliver rounded a corner, skidded and skewed in an old manner, and finally swung into the curbing where he contained two men—two white men. They were of the "bill-billie" type, the lowest of the low-ies the kind that frown trouble. We did not give them the slightest head as they clamored out of their car and reached the walk. They acted as if they were going to pass on to their business, of the two men. My friends say that I was very pretty then. Probably that is why short one turned and beamed at me. Of course I turned my head to indicate my displeasure. However, he made some very causeful remarks. He sighed and brought over to us his arm, and kissed my arm and kissed him up in educated nigered him. It was then that I nigered and stunned him in the face with my elenched fist with all my might. I have always been a vigorous and healthful girl. I sighed and brought over to him a blow hurt him so that he saggered and foundered around. Maisie screamed, and ran into the barbershop. Before I could follow her, I had so intended, the man caught me in his arms to do me an injury in retaliation for the blow. Floyd came rushing out of the barber shop in time to the courtroom in the presence of the man. He gave a snarl that a tiger could not emulate, and leaped at the man. To ward this new attack the man released me and turned to Floyd. Floyd sturked out with his fist while his body was still in the air—struck in the middle of his spring. It came out of his mouth. It caught him on the neck. The impact was sickening. He turned a dirty yellow in color, his eyes rolled back in his head, and he slumped sprawlingly to the walk Floyd falling over his body, unable to stop himself. "In less than half a minute the street was thronged with angry Embarrassing Moment One day in summer I was coming from down town. I was tired and had many bundles. I got in an open car, which was crowded in the street. I had put my package on the opposite seat, and accidently fell on to sleep. "The man awoke and asked in the bundles. I said, "Yes." Then he told me to move over, as it was too hot to sit close together. I was very close to the man and every one had gotten on the seat except us two. You know Mr. Oakridge Hd. Md.

This was the past from George Essex, her first er. men. They came from everywhere. They seemed to rise out of the very ground. There was shouting and cursing and tuft-mult. Floyd and I were in the very center of the mull through the walls, looking like lizards. Then some one struck me and I knew no more until I regained consciousness in the backroom of the little barber shop. Frightened men and women told me what had happened. The man had beaten Floyd terribly after he had become exhausted, and then he ran out of the county jail. In some way I reached home. Maisie was with me. She was in a worse mental state than I was. She broke down completely, while I tried to be brave. For the next several hours excitement reached the dangerous point. It was too much, and I was nominated that the man struck Floyd was dead—stone dead. Floyd had broken his neck with that one terrible blow. "I cannot accurately describe the night that followed. Every time I think of it the horrors seized me. It haunts me, haunts me, me. It haunts me, me. I used to fear it would drive me. But I have no hope very brave. For hours that night beginning with sundown, the riffraff and scum of the community paraded the miserable wolves. They prowled through the alleys, congreated on the corners and cluttered the mud and fire and fire and fire and destruction was in the air. The tension was the tension of hell itself. No one can describe it. Not even those who have been through the furnace themselves, can describe that horrible feeling. In every shack and but and house, they saw their heads in devoid supplication to the Father in Heaven. It was a night never to be forgotten. "It was near midnight that we heard the firing of pistols and rifles. The firing was accompanied by the distant sound of tumult and the pack howl of the nefarious and vicious mob. I was ill in my bed. I was in a terrible mental suite, but on hearing the clamour of the crowd, I came out into the night to go to the gird of my lover, who needed me. Maise, who had not retired, saw me and tried to detain me. We fought so mad was I to go to Flovel. Then she saw that I was determined to go, so she followed me. Confused half-hearted, spurred on by something unseen and unknown, we ended streets and alleyways until we reached a point where we could gaze upon the scene. Huddled on the ground praying locked in each others arms, two helpless, hopeless women who could not aid the man whom we loved, two women denied every protection and safe guard on the red scene and saw hundreds of men playing the trade of murder and wilful destruction of property. They danced and bowed and raged like the slimy and hony jumps of hell on a holiday. We saw them better and smash down the doors of the troubling sheer to the troubling sheer to the mand the keys that he was to retain in his possession against all odds. We saw them ruffle the sheer's hair, shap him on the back pull his hat down over his eyes, pinch his ears, vote him a square short. Minutes seemed to cloose—with the sound of strife. They came out. They had caught Samson. He fought them in a way that they would always remember. They had guns, blitzes, clubs, ball bats, and blackjacks. He had his bats hands and his man's heart. They numbered into the hundreds. He was one. He was the fighter. He was the men and fought them. His last dying action was a blow and a kick at a leering face. Right there in the law jail they murdered him. "How we ever got back to the house I do not know. An angel must have guided and guarded us, And all that night I tossed on the fiery cinder floors of Purgatory while the man died—by chance, the man still joined him wrapped in the chains of death—with only the fading stars to keep vigil over his body.

Then one morning I heard a plaintive little cry at my breast and looked down into the little face of this child—my Floyd's child. "I'll mention here that the murder of Floyd Darrow was scarcely a nine days wonder. No questions were asked, no invasions were made, the papers merely nubbled at the story. Some of them ignored it altogether. They did not even hint that he died because he was man enough for the woman that was to be his wife. They did say, tho, that he died game, and snarling like a tiger, spitting out his hatred in the faces of murderers, but that is all they said. "Now that my e child was born and Floyd was gone the road was strewn with rocks and boulders for me. I did not meet with sympathy from any one. I was in Floyd Darrow but they cursed the memory of the woman that had been his during his life time. That he was dead they ceased to heap contumely upon him. It is characteristic of us to pay hallowed respect to the dead. But they did not accord me one sympathetic word. For my faith he had pass me by unnoticed when he met me in the streets. My former friends would hurry away when I approached. I was a paranoid, an outcast, a thing to be censored and scorned. Only Maisie and Floyd's mother played the Good Samaritan. For his sake they loved me. They created my manly. They did not as Christmas bodies. But it was impossible to live on their bounty and goodness forever. I had a child to support. I had myself to feed. I had responsibilities. I needed a work, wanted it, and searched for it. In some cases I found work—he kind I liked. But always I tended to tongue-tie. It got so that nobody in Bradshaw wanted me to work for them. That was a calamity. Without work, no poverty-striken person can survive for long. With this thought in mind I decided to leave that town for good and all. I had never known anything but unhappiness there. I went to Bradshaw. But she did not want me to go. He had a long talk. Finally I convinced her that there was no other way out. But she insisted that I should leave the child with her. It would be impossible for me to make a fresh start in a new town with a baby in my arms. So I had a little Floyd coming to send me his keeper in a regular intervals, and to return for him at sometime in the future. "Story writers say that mothers do not desert their children. They say that it is an act that deserves the bitterest condemnation. I agree with them that it is a matter now cowardly that it is a matter to desert a child prison. But in my book I would not fire any other way around. I did not call it desertion. I did not mean to desert little Fiddler. I only wanted to earn a living. My whole soul was wrapped up in that proposition. I had no thought of gavety, pleasure, or good times. I was not seeking happiness. My happiness was the county jail at Bradshaw. All that I was seeking was a living—an honest living. "First we went to Atlanta, from there I drifted on an on until I reached Memphis. From there to Louisville. From there to Chicago. From Chicago here. I lucked him to be with me. Jobs seemed plentiful—good jobs. The further North I came the more money I received for my work. When I arrived in this city I was beginning to feel that there was something a woman could live for after "Then, my husband, I met you. You were different from any man that I had ever met before. You were not handsome—for I have not been handsome men; you were not better dressed—for I have seen fashion plates; you were not unmarried; you had big smart alcoes; but you were different in some way that I could that the fates had ordained that not comprehend. It seemed to me you should be the holder of my future happiness. It was not a silly romantic sentiment that caused me to regard you as such, for I was not a woman with a girl get guided by the grazy threads of romance; I was a woman with a woman's unconquerable soul—or that it, I thought that it was unconquerable. "You were so wise, so good, so gentle, so sympathetic that I could not help but hunger for your protection and love and pleasure. I learned to worship you. You taught me a love that was new thrilling and heavenly. I had loved Floyd, but this new love that you whispered to me was so happy. My soul was so vastly different that I was hypnotized. My whole life was changed. I was made anew, I was esulted. In my wonderful passion for you I forgot my poor little baby. I forgot the tragic story of Bradshaw. I forgot the early struggles and misadventures. I forgot everything. I only remembered that you were the greatest man in the world to me. To be continued Page Twelve PENNSYLVANIA DELTA, PA.

She says it was Exelento Quinine Pomade that rid her scalp of all dandruff and made her hair grow long, silky soft, and luxuriant. It made her hair fairly glow with life and gave it a pretty, glossy sheen. She was so delighted with Exelento Quinine Pomade, she tried Exelento Skin Beautifier for low complexions and skin bleemishes. She had had a creamy cream applied shortly time when her skin began complimenting on her clear skin and improved appearance. Anyone who wants lovely hair and a beautiful complexion should immediately purchase Exelento Quinine Pomade and Exelento Skin Beautifier.

May 31. Crossing the con- tinent with the University of Californi- m in track team, breaking the inter- collegiate record in the discus throw and then failing to place in the event was the experience of Ralph C. Francis, one of the two color- ed players in the track and field championships of the Intercollegiate Association of American Athletes of America, held at the Harvard Stadium, Friday and Saturday, May 30 and 31. Qualifying in the Friday preliminary events along with the Californi- m, was Charlie Drew, the Am- erican track and field champion, to a scoring position in the high limbs in the New England Inter- collegiate the week before. The columbian handler was a common track team. Amberset sent only two of her athletes into the L.C.A.S. only Draw remained in the running after the grinding weeding out in the Friday trials. Getting away to a clean start, Friday, the grid star held his own with a fast field and flashed ahead a winner at the tape. After second-finals he found the going stiff. Friends, however, not only qualified in the Friday trial tosses in the discus, but measured a haue of 141, 3, 3-4 inches, that was just on foot, 2.5-8 inches better than the triple-geared record, set by Hartmann, of Leland Stamford, two years ago.

The Largest Selection of CAPS In the City of 145 feet. On a foul, Francis was measured for a 148 foot throw, a figure which would have placed him third in the final lineup. But it was the lock of the big trackster from the coast that exactly five other discus throwers qualified ahead of him with record breaking throws. The best toss was that same Glenn Harraunt's effort of 158 ft. 8 inches. It will probably be barred from the record books, however, because of the strong wind which played tricks with all of the field events, and marred the running times. Francis also entered the high jump trials Friday. Norfolk Wins Again Kid Norfolk kayedet Tut Jackson in two rounds last Wednesday night at Columbus, Ohio.

No, he is declared out for having hit at the ball. Q—With men on bases the pitcher starts his wind up, immediately drops ball, what is the proper, ruling on this play? PETE HILL A—It is a balk, and all base runners advance one base. The fact that it was an accident does not excuse the pitcher from a balk. Q—Runner on third base, and first. Score tied in last half of ninth inning, (we are out), the batter hits ball to outfield, runner is out at first, runner who had been on first overalls second base and is touched out, does the run on third count? A—This play has caused much arguing, but run does not count on the theory that second base does not belong to the runner, even though he touched it. A stolen base is not given the runner when he goes on second base, but it is given on that play, it is not logical to give a run on a similar play on which the runner has not made the base. The runner at second therefore is have been forced out, and the run been forced because the third out is a force out. R YOUR HEAD BERG HIMSELF) HOTTES SPECIAL 509 PENNA AVE. EST.1889.

Frank Hunter, a student of the old "Master," Joe Gins, has started a club down on Drudg Hill avenue, 155, and is back in the harness fights. Frank claims he stayed in the ring with Sam Langford for 40 rounds some years ago at Westport. Frank "has things coming along pretty nicely on Druid Hill avenue, and is installing some modern equipment. He intends to fit the basement up as a regular gymnasium and door for club training and training business and professional men. Frank hasn't been in any real rights lately, but has been keeping in condition and this latest move on his part will give Baltimore the chance to see some of the best scrappers in the game in action soon. He is a middleweight and weighs 128 pounds when in training. This move, Frank says, is to revive the sport in Baltimore and give the old timers as well as the youngsters a chance to get and keep in trim. He has been sparring partner for some of the best men in the game in the past, including of George "K. O." Chaney in his fight with Shamus O'Brien in 1922. Among other fighters he was sparring partner with are: Benny Leonard, Jeff Smith, Packy McFarland, and Kid Williams. Then he has seen a lot of fighting over seas, he went in the war a buck private company fought almost as many Americans and Frenchmen as Germans. In the near future he hopes to stage a boxing carnival and bring some of the country's best fisticist artists here. Brown Holds Brown, 1-0 Providence, R. L.

Bolden's mullers cracked 12 bats, Santoy leading the onslaught with three, one of which was a home run, coming in the ninth inning over the right field force. The Bacharnachs were treated roughly, Lockhart batting until the fourth inning, being relieved by Mitchell, who tiring, hard for the seventh, when Levine relieved him. Mitchell, in addition, was wild, issuing five passes during his three innings on the ground.

SECOND GAME The second contest of the afternoon was a pitcher's battle between Dave Brown and Cooper, of Harrisburg. Although Brown allowed twice as many hits as his opponent, they were well scattered.

Coage, of Wilmington, Del., to make a study of the Virgin Island's, who returned several months ago and is making a speaking tour to acquaint the public with the findings. Mr. Coage declared the increase in price was like it war time conditions, and that it meant that a Virgin Islander worth $200 before the war was worth $1,000 at war time prices. The real reason for buying the Islands, he said, was their need as a naval base and protection for the Panama Canal. Americans have brought good roads and automobiles to the Islanders, and he said he found there 1 packard. 1 Overland and 98 Fords. Only 1,200 White Of the population, Mr. Conga said, there were about 1,200 white, 3,750 of mixed blood and 20,000 Negroes. The temperature the year around is 15 degrees, and the temperature during spring is 14 degrees. The volcanic porus nature of the islands allow the salt sea water to soak through the soil completely so that the only fresh water is that boarded up in reservoirs in October and February when it rains, leaving the islands with the idea of finding a way to build huge government reservoirs. Under the present conditions water is so scarce that it is a crime punishable by a fine to throw any water away. The islands said to be in a flourishing condition under Dapenmark, are now suffering from hard times, because of the falling off in shipping. Where five ships a day use to call at St. Thomas harbor for coal, salt and water, only one now calls a week. Marine Laws This is said to be due to the U. S. Marine regulations which prevent foreign vessels from entering the harbor, carrying liquor under properly seized, and expressly prohibited vessels. U.S. owned ships. The report of the commission asks that these two laws be waived in the case of the Virgin Islands, as they are now waived in the case of the Panama Canal. The compulsory education law is declared to be 98.5 per cent effective due to the fact that parents are fined half a day's pay whenever children are absent from school, pay for women amounts to 20 cents, pay for men 40 cents a day, churches pay for men 40 cents a day, the commissioner, owing a large part of the land and renting it out to their members at exorbitant prices. One H. G. Barrows, A. M. Muster, was expelled from the U.S. Navy, exploiting the other pastors, who repaid the taking out against these conditions. The commission also urged the repeal of the bannish laws under which this deportation was possible on the ground that these laws conflict with the American principle of allowing every person a trial by his peers before he is punished or deported.

The group's final peroration it was several minutes before the applause subsided. The other big surprise came to light when Rev. Luke E.
