MARTIAL Standard Life Saved Through Half Million Loan Negotiated Through Dr.R.R.Moton Tuskegee Head Gets Aid of Julius Rosenwald and Other Leading White Philanthropists to Keep Race's Largest Insurance Company From Hands of Money Lenders New York, Dec. 11. (Afro Bureau)—A loan said to amount to $500,000 negotiated by Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, Ala., through leading white philanthropists in this city last week, saved the Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, Ga., of which Heman Perry is head, from the hands of Southern money lenders who were in position to foreclose and take over the business. Intimations of the proposed loan to the Standard following its financial difficulties of the past few months were first heard at the session of the National Business League in its summer meeting and at the meeting of some fifty race business men at Durham, N. C., two weeks ago. Last week Mr. Moton came to town with Perry and the loan was negotiated at the office of the Title Guarantee and Trust Company. Clarence Kelsey, chairman of the board, will have charge of it. Julius H. Rosenwald, noted Jewish philanthropist, was the other member of the conference, who put up half the loan required. Standard 11 Years Old Heman Perry started the Standard Life 11 years ago in Atlanta and built it up to the place where it stands as the largest colored insurance company of the 35 in the country, with a half billion insurance in force upon the lives of a million Negroes. HAMPTON AND TUSKEGEE GET TWO MILLIONS GIBBONS BEATS NORFOLK, TIGER FLOWERS WINS Money Was Tied Up With the insurance company as a first base, Perry branched out in other undertakings that served his interest. The Negro Race Displaced successfully the Negro race was displaying its business capacity in chain grocery systems, canneries, organizing associations and development around Atlanta, Ga., and then the difficulty arose. All these things took money and Perry discovered a few months later that he was developing the development schemes. In the emergency he went to the money lenders and pledged a controlling block of the insurance company stock that happened to him has happened to many another man with a white skin, "one of his rescuers said. Publication Hurt Perry Two newspaper and magazine articles hurt Perry more, perhaps, than anything else last summer. And anything else big, big magazine, declaring, among other things, that the Standard Life had a record of thirty million dollars in eight millions, with his life insured for a million more. There followed an elaborate description of his the Atlanta home cano a boat and the publisher's time every time this article was published. Perry was making an effort to negotiate a loan and the publisher agreed. At the Mississippi Life Insurance Company, one of the largest companies of the South, with offices in Memphis.

By purchasing the controlling interest, it was expected to make the first purchase in deal with the company's own money. It was a shrewd financing deal, but was blocked by several stockholders. As a result, it was necessary to resell the Mississippi company to a white concern. Pages available newspaper comment followed this deal, and it did not help Perry.

PRESIDENT EXPLAINS HIS MESSAGE TO CONGRESS Washington, D. C., Dec. 5. - It was learned at the White House to-day that President Coolidge believes that his recommendation to the Congress concerning appropriate representation of all political parties at the ballot box and equality of representation on the various registration boards, if enacted into law, would give them an opportunity to see that they do not suffer in any way from the conduct of the election. Helpful: To Negro Such a law, it is believed, would be beneficial to the 'Negro' particularly in those states where disfranchisement is in effect, notwithstanding the 14th and 15th amendments to the "Nothing is so fundamental," said the Coolidge message, "to the integrity of a Republican form of government as honesty of elections." I am of the opinion that the national laws governing the choice of members of the Congress, should be extended to the states where disfranchisement of the respective parties at the ballot box and equality of representation on the various registration boards, wherever they pointed on the northern states where disfranchisement is practiced, arbitrarily refuse to register colored persons who meet every qualification required. Registration on the ballot box and disfranchisement is a law in Massachusetts which provides for appropriate representation at the ballot box and on the registration boards. It favors the extension of a similar law to all Federal elections. BLACK PALLBEARERS FOR MILLIONAIRE Jacksonville, Fla., Dec. 12.—(By A. N.

The total amount of $406,000 was $41,000 above the budget; and $126,000 above the estimates of the Budget Bureau.

GIBBONS BEATS NORFOLK, TIGER FLOWERS WINS GIBBONS BEATS NORFOLK, TIGER FLOWERS WINS New York City, Dec. 10—Tom Gibbons, St. Paul heavyweight, stopped Kid Norfolk, of Baltimore, last night in Madison Square Garden in the sixth round.

Referee Eddie Purdy stopped this contest after two minutes and 65 seconds, with a savage attack, had Wilson in distress and holding to avoid further punishment. The action of the referees did not match the unanimous approval of the crowd, but it was justified nevertheless. Wilson certainly was being battered into despair, the bout was stopped in danger of receiving a finishing blow. In victory, Flowers established himself as the strongest middleweights. A southpaw, he showed himself a super boxer and a hard hitter. He pressed Wilson hard from the starting bell, repeated the throws under the jaw, staged Wilson and then Flowers continued the battering, working Wilson before him along the ring ropes until the foul in Flowers' corner. A right to the jaw crushed home cleanly and Wilson slumped forward. Then a left swept to the jaw and Wilson and Wilson instinctively, however, the lurched forward and grabbed Flowers about the neck with the grip of a wrestler and held until the bout ended.

WOULD BAR NATIVES FROM SIDEWALKS South African Legislature Considers Bill To Segregate Natives and Indians. TAKE AWAY THE VOTE "Lets Give It To People Of Mixed Blood Only," Advises Legislator. Durham, S. Africa, Dec. 11—Segregation of both Indians and natives was advocated at a conference of the leaders, in the National Party of South Africa here last week. It was requested that not even a colored person shall be allowed to walk on the pavements. We were today that although the national women want the vote they are content to go without it if there is any likelihood of a lady of color getting it at the same or by the same strokes of the pen. Would Disfranchise Natives Incidentally, Mr. Barlow, M. L. A. now allied with the Nationalists as they vote to take over the vote be taken away from those natives who have it, and bestowed on coloured persons, which seems unimportant, and on the co-habitation of white and black, and this at a time when Government is being urged, from more such co-habitation a penal question? However, the congresses in question show that the colour sense of the people is as strong as ever. How far the Government is likely to be influenced remains to be seen, as no details are provided regarding its proposed measures dealing with natives and Asiatics. Increased Population Concerning Asiatics, the Government has just issued a new set of statistics. These show that, whereas the country thirty years ago, there are now 166,000, nearly two-thirds of whom are South African born, which is a valuable fact to bear in mind when irresponsible people talk about the number of deportation. Progress, however, is still being made with the Government's scheme of voluntary repatriation on terms which leave the repatriated country free of repatriation. The scheme was originally introduced by the Smuts Government. The Hertzog Government has made it still more attractive, and is not denied one shipload to clear off to India, but two shiploads. The gilt will be off the political gingerbread if no more shiploads are gathered together; and is denied one shipload to clear off the pool-of-possible repatriates must soon dry up. Indians a. Problem The Indians undoubtedly constitute a political problem, but if all Asiatics were cleared out of the country to-morrow, the sick people would be those who are ill and need our help. The fact is, the Indians fill an essential niche in our scheme of things (as do the natives and coloured people), and if this is wrong it is too late to repair the wrong. Lexington, Mo., Dec. 11—Rev.

South More Just. To Negro "A few years ago I did not expect to live to see the Negro race treated with so much of the spirit of justice and good will in the South as the white man there extends to him today," said Dr. Moton, adding, "I thank God for what Hampton and Tuskegee are doing today to help create that mutual good-will. The gehorality of white Southerners have a real love for the Negro race and the Negroes in turn have a reciprocal affection for the average white Southerner." Dr. Moton paid high tribute to a number of particularly liberal givers to Hampton and Tuskegee including Jullus Rosenwald, of Chicago, who has given $3,000,000 and is spending $1,000,000 a year in building school houses for Negroes throughout the South, and the late Miss Anna T.

"I assure you that words cannot convey the fact that I arrive here on the date promised. The fact of my failure to arrive here was due to two factors, viz: I have been delivered about three days before my departure from New York were delayed. Secondly, the day of the 26th was forced to return to New York City, where the plane was almost wrecked through the day of the 26th, and fact that a 75 mile per gale was blowing directly against me, which made rapid headway impossible. I arrived over the Pennsylvania and Cornell game, two minutes after, one of my spark plugs exploded and caused the machine to injure down. "That was about 2:30 the day of the 27th. After that came the bolt broken, and by the time I got parts and had the machine ready to continue making the dark, which made dying impossible.

C, Dec. 8—Justice Hosling in the equity division of the District Supreme Court, issued an injunction last Friday restraining Miss Marietta V. Scarborough, Edmund K. Fox and William M. Hicks from conveying No. 1921 First street, northwest, to a Negro or a person of Negro blood pending the hearings of the case involving this property. He also enjoined them from conveying this property to any person for the purpose of having that person convey it to a Negro or a person of Negro blood. The suit for an injunction was brought by Henry K. Murphy and Mary F. Murphy, who live at 42 North 10th Street, in their bill of complaint they alleged that Miss Scarborough, who is employed as a stonegrinder in the office of Edmund K. Fox, a real estate dealer, had contracted for buy this property, the heirs of Mary A. Stork, deceased. Covenant In Deed They calmed in the bill that there had appeared without interruption a covenant in every deed conveying property, the entire sum of the property is placed in the property is placed in the effect that the lot of any improvements that might be made there should never be used or occupied for and against Negroes or persons of Negro blood. In her answer, Miss Scarborough disaffirmed the contract entered into by her with Mrs. Mary A. Stack, and cannot be compelled to carry out the terms of this contract and that she will not attempt to take title to the property, if she should and cannot be compelled to carry out complete title in herself. They say that the covenant provides only against the use and occupation of the premises by colored person but prevents a Negro from taking title. Neighborhood Colored Hicks and Fox say that the neighborhood is rapidly becoming colored and that there are now at least 11 colored families in this neighborhood of this subdivision. The nature of the neighborhood has changed, they say, and if the court ordered that colored persons it would be inequitable and work a hardship on the owners of property because they could not afford it within eight blocks of its geographical location, they say, it must become colored. Near Howard University This subdivision in which this property is located within eight blocks of Howard University. It is bounded by the north side of T street northwest, between First and North Street northwest; the west side of street northwest, between Rhode Island avenue and U street northwest, and between T and U street.

B. Burgess now holds, and costs as such agreed upon by the Council of record of both parties." The statement was signed by the committee on grievances of the association, composed of: G. F.

Dec. 12.—The Confederacy's richest joke last week when the local chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy degenerated into a free-for-all Noting the inability of the chairman and sergeant-at-arms to stop the hair-pulling, some of the members of Braxton, a colored cop, the only man available, responded. The rebel daughters forgot to attack Braxton, a colored policeman, who did his best to get things back to normal, but was finally told that the southerners could get along with him. The members carried the matter to the attention of Representative A. H. Grasque, of South Carolina, who immediately sent the follower to Major Sullivan, chief of police: "Now, I think, to say the least of it, that it is an outrage for a Negro policeman to be sent by the city government of Southern ladies, especially when there are so many white policemen in the District of Columbia, you please tell me who was responsible for this and why it was done." Major Sullivan referred the matter to Major Braxton in the superior, who was necessary, that Braxton was an officer, the only one available at the time the call was sent in, and he, therefore, was dispatched to the scene of The row among the Confederate women started at their hall, 1322 Pine Street, on December 14, the section of officers which took place last December.

They are native Virginians, descended from the best English stock." The members of the colony dislike Negroes, it is stated, and will not permit one to stay in their domain.

Comple, Cottrill Admitted Before His Death That Former President Harding 'Double-Crossed' Him 4 MEN OF 24TH SHOULD 'CAN' ALL ARE FREED DEAD LANGUAGES B. WILLIAM: PICKENS New York City, Dec. 12—He is dead. He was a prominent Negro politician, a successful business man and one of the finest gentlemen we know. He was a man of skin which is the color of so many of the finest gentlemen. He helped Warren G. Harding to remain senator and later became the first governor of Ohio to "charley."—"Well, Charley, how are things going out in Ohio? I'm going to take care of you, Charley. You just stick around Washington here until you get out. Don't go to Toller just stay here in the capital a while longer." Stuck Around Six Months Cottrell "stuck around" for six months. The South worked on Harding. He grew cold and colder, and finally announced that he had been appointed a office that would offend a rotten-borough Southern representative in Congress or displease any of the bourbons of that section—which meant that he would appoint Reginald of the Treasury—as a Federal dog-catcher. "Charley Cottrell," who had been the most optimistic Negro on the Continent when his Senator J. Gregg "gagged" because he became the most disappointed and distressed wretch between the two oceans. He went back home to Toledo, facing a loss of six months work from his business, and contending to be the most disliked politician that ever served a selfish boss. Mr. Vann Foliows Suit Cottrill did just what Robert L. Vann, editor of the "Pittsburgh Courier," was willing to allow to be believed in the "good white folks," the party, and he advised us to keep still, say nothing, and wait upon the salutation of the early days. Cottell wan a veritable watchdog at Harding's White House door, during those six months while he was waiting poor children to guard him. If any other Negro came to Washington with a protest about lynching or 4 MEN OF 24TH ARE FREED Praison News Service Leavenworth, Kan.-Four of the former soldiers, convicted for participation in the Houston, Tex., riot, of 1927, were released from the federal prison Wednesday night on parole. Their names were among nine for whom certificates of parole were received by Warden Biddle on the eve of Thanksgiving Day. Those freed were John Geter, John H. Gould, Edward A. James and James Biddle. The life sentences had been commuted to 20 years by a special War Department board which held hearings at the prison last spring. It is said, Mitchell, especially had reasons to be thankful, he told War丹 Biddle, when notified of the parole. Once he had been apprehended, he stood at Fort Sam Houston from which he was to be hanged. His sentence was commuted to life imprisonment by President Wilson. Mitchell has been leader of the prison The destinations of the men were the courtyard, the bar, and the all have been provided with employment, it was stated by.

The last time I had a conference with the President he told me the race's interests were going to be looked at, and he spilled everything if you annoy him." He perhaps sincerely believed that the Negro could the quicker get his rights—and especially the right to vote. The Negro kept "quiet," as Vann claims, and stopped "agitating." Cottrill Confessed Cottill was a friend of mine. I can even say that he was one of my whole-hearted admirers. He confessed to me that Harding's practical double-crossing of him was the most crushing disappointment I ever had to confess. I've certainly learned a lesson: we won't get any more than we are able to take. No—the American Negro will never get more than he is able to withhold others believe he means to do his best to take. And, Great God, here stands up and reads of a widely read weekly political job-hunters of 1924—and advises his people to "play," keep "quiet," and have a good time until he cracks a smile. That is, while cracking a smile, Nordic manus in Indiana oust colored people from every privilege of both pleasure and work, grimming and dancing; playing checkers, shooting craps, blacking his face and singing the blues—and business of running a weekly newspaper as a good political Sambo,—until such time as the good white folks in the city socially request him to take a step forward in his American citizenship. The opinion is that Mr. Varn and Cottrill both may serve us, by making us THINK! SHOULD 'CAN' ALL DEAD LANGUAGES Raleigh, N.

C., Dec. 5.—(Special)—Opposition to the $400,000 appropi- tion to Howard University on the ground that it would build up a big institution and bring more colored people to Washington was registered by Represent- tive B. G. Lowery, of Mississippi, in the House yesterday. That body had under discussion the Interior Department's appropi- ation bill which carries with it a $400,000 Item for Howard. Rep. Lowery emphasized that it was a friend to the Negro began had been raised with him, he said. "I have worked Negroes under a direction for years. I never had trouble with them, but had trouble with one in my life." Life. He said he used the word "Negro" to cause Booer T. Washington's Moton and Marcus Garvey used it. He declared that there were no colleges outside of the colored schools in the United States, colored denominational schools in 11 land grant colleges, nonschools, etc. He said these schools were necessary for the Government make such an appropriation. He colored like Howard, said Lafayette, "they should put their hands in their pockets and pay for it themselves." Angrigs Too Many to Washington. Another reason why he opened the appropriation to Howard. But Lowery said, was that it would put Mercia for the Negro race. "Have we a right to continue do things that will inevitably make a great Mecca for a great index of New population? Unquestionably, a great institution, fostered and forced kept free, forever kept abrasal, and forever kept open, the National Capital tends to make our National Capita a great Mecca for the Negro race. "I do not believe there is a man in this House from North or South who will say he believes that is good for the National Capital or that is good for the Nation. I believe every man before me, if he will meet the first square foot of the National Capital and it is not good for the Nation. (Applause).

C., Dec. 12—Before a large crowd containing a large number of alumni and students of both schools, the Benedict "Tigers" of Columbia and the Claflin "Panthers" fought to a 6-6 standstill in their annual classics. In the third quarter Benedict completed a long forward pass that notted her a touchdown. The try for point failed. Launching a powerful line attack in the fourth quarter Claflin marched in with the Benedict's goal, when within 20 yards of goal, she was enabled to score by the completion of a pass and the use of the "Panthers" special. This worked the first crossing of the goal by an/an team in two seasons.

FRANKLIN ST. BOLDEN TO HEAD EASTERN LEAGUE Hilldale Owner Elected To Lead the Circuit For Another Year BECKWITH, SOX MANAGER Last Year's Captain To Supplant Pete Hill In the Sox Lineup Next Season Chicago, Ill., Dec. 12.—The Eastern League met in annual season here last Thursday and on Friday came together with the Western body in joint session, which was presided over by Andrew Rube Foster. Edward Bolden, owner of the Hilldale club, was re-elected chairman of the commission to run the Eastern League. The world series pennant was awarded to Kansas and the club owners were congratulated upon winning the Western pennant as well. The Western body will meet again in St. Louis on January 31 and February 1, at which time the cities that play in the 1925 circuit will be named. Keenan, of New York; Spedden and Rossister, of Baltimore; Nat Strong, of New York, and J. L. Wilkerson are all white men. Strong, has operated in New York for years, as has Keenan. Rossister and Spedden have signed Beckwith as manager of the Baltimore club for the coming season and are determined to win the Eastern pennant in 1925. At the joint meeting of the two leagues the Eastern territory is confined to east of Buffalo and Pittsburgh to the Atlantic ocean. The Western league west of Buffalo and Pittsburgh to the Pacific ocean. The world series will be played each year under the same arrangements as last year—that is, same as the major league world series. The second and third place clubs will share in the receipts. No owner or stockholder of any club contending can sit on the commission, which is made up of two men from each league. Both organizations gave a rising vote of thanks to the newspapers for their part in the last world series. Philadelphia was chosen as the city in which both leagues will hold their annual session next year. The player limit was set at 20 men. The question of reduction of salaries was the biggest problem. No definite settlement was made. The Sox roster for next year will be composed of following players: Bill Roege C, M. Byrne Britt, Wm. Force, Robert McCurse J. T. Strong, James Jeffries. Jud Wilson, Wilson C. Duy, John Beck-Harron, John Hammond, Bob Laward, Wada Hammond, Crush Holloway, Yyman Smith, T. Lindsay, Pete Hill. Ball Players getting in line for next spring and according to plans of Manager Taylor, the Giants will equal the best along the Seaboard. Finishing the season as city champions and winners of a silver loving cup, this aggregation of ball players are planning to broaden their schedule to include Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. At a recent meeting of the club, George D. Tyler was elected president. President Tyler is an ardent baseball fan and knows the game from A to Z. Eastern Shore League The wock in forming the Eastern Shore League so as to start functioning by next spring is rapidly progressing. The league will be composed of eight clubs with headquarters in Baltimore. The greatest difficulty the promoters face will be securing suitable grounds in the various towns. Rojo, the incomparable, is on the job again. The best backstop in these United States, barring none, the Cuban receiver for the Black Sox, left for his Island home to spend the rest in quietness, but the call of wild, was too great. He is now doing duty with the Santa Clara club in the Havana club, and the Santa Cars club, with a battery of Mondes, of Kansas City and Rojo, is one of the leading clubs in the island. Tribute To Blackman One of the leading men in the business was Henry Blackman, late of the Baltimore Sox, who died here last year in the middle of the season and at the peak of his career. Blackman loved the game for what it was and had donned his uniform just a few days before the end of the season. He had been above a whisper, he begged to be given a chance to go in and help the boys out of a tight hole with the baseball. Whenever the going was rough and a hit meant a run, when the fans saw Blackman stride up to the plate and hit a double for nothing under a two base hit. Baseball lost a true sport and one of the most popular payers in the East when this sturding third degree pinned out a wawter attested by the monster crowd that packed Penn- vanlaia avenue for blocks during the funeral services.

NORFOLK-GIBBONS ROUND BY ROUND Continued from Page 1 Norfolk entered the ring first and received a burst of applause from the crowd. He was followed to his corner by his manager, Leo P. Flynn, Tom Gibbons came in a moment later, apparently full of pep and ginger. He danced against the ropes on each side of the ring to test them. Gibbons weighed 174% and Norfolk 174%. Radio Kane was in Gibbon's corner. The referees was Tommy Sheridan. The story of the Gibbons-Norton fight by rounds follows; Round One They came into a clinch in the center of the ring and both missed left with a series of short hooks to be body and jaw. Gibbons seemed surprised. Gibbons chopped a sharp right to Norfolk's head and hooked a visor left to the body. Gibbons, stepping back, suddenly whipped across a hard right that staggered the Kid. He followed this up with another to the same spot and the Kid wobbled again. Gibbons kept hanging a sharp left to the Kid's head and hooking a right to the jaw as he pleased. Gibbons, giving a beautiful exhibition of boxing, hooked Norfolk all over the ring in the last five seconds of the round. Gibbons's round Round Two They mixed it fiercely in the center of the court, cuts, Gibbons catching the Kid with a right that bounced his head back. Nearby, Gibbons catching the Kid with a right that bounced his head back. Nearby, Gibbons catching the Kid with a right that bounced his head back. Nearby, Gibbons catching the Kid with a right that bounced his head back. Nearby, Gibbons hooked a fierce left that opened a cut under the Kid's right eye, the round was over they were both covered with blood. Norfolk was to take a sacrifice a fierce inciting at the same time. Tom was obviously willing to take a sacrifice to order to get one in the round was to try. Round Three Gibbons met the Kid in the middle of the chapel, with a sharp left hip that opened up to right eye. They clinched, were separated as Norfolk tore in Gibbons shot. The Kid kept arms right to the jaw. The Kid kept arms another right to the jaw. Another hard right to the jaw. Norfolk was shooting in one body shot, and Gibbons enough to fight a long case. In the close-up lighting, Norfolk came to best. Tom made the Kid a miss, and work himself. His blow seemed to lack steam. Referee Sheridan warned him to keep his punches up just before the bell sounded. It was Norfolk's round. Bound Four They came to an immediate clutch in the center of the ring and exhalted. They were separated by the referee. A kid brought the blood from Northampton to the man who hook that bounced the Kid back to the rope, then he hooked a wicked grip on the kid's arm. The jab opened the cut over the Kid's right eye again and they were both killed with a series of wicked smashes to the head and body, but missed what the clown right hand swing to the club right blow missed by an inch. It was Gibbins. Round Five They clinched and swapped both drives that did little danger. They backed away and both lit go light just that did no harm. Norfolk hooked a right to the body. Gibbons was also in for the jaw with both hands and they were wicked smashes. A straight left jaw brought the blood from Tom nose. The Kid hooked a left go the stomach, then another to Tom's jaw and the St. Paul boxer went back as his heels and almost to the ropes. Gibbons began to realize a this time that he was in a real fight. Tom whipped a left and right to the jaw, that put Norfolk down for a count of three just before the bell rang. Gibbon's round. Round Six Norfolk seemed a hit groggy as he came out of his corner. He stopped and grazed the Kid with a left and backed him to the ropes, where he beat him to the ropes, where he beat him to the ropes, where he beat him to the heart. The Kid got out staggered across the ring, where he was beaten down again, by the poisonous gore, blinded and bloody, and Retief Sheridan stepped in between it and awarded the fight to Gibbons technical knock-out.

"Izzy Bux" "DER TAG" came with a chilly wind and a laden sky. The team was restless. The Lions were hungry, and calls one for breakfast. Pell-mell rushed into the dining room. In a moment all plates were ready for more. The coach in his quiet reassurance voice gave out in his quiet reassurance day. orders. Tried again, for some; others played cards. Callaway and Morgan still "girls" in their lying contest. sport is high, old grads come in to match the cubs. I am not in bed sleeping. I always sleep just before game. Goodman, "Birdie cloakies," and "Bai" Taylor spread crochilles. "When Do We Eat" Then dies by. Tom Lee yells his suit to "when do we eat." Lunch. Then to the park to dress. No nerves, but all eager to go. "Doc: Alexander, Cannon and other old grad bindings and holdings with the team will be compiled. Spirit begins to change, follows become lookahead action, time draws on. Everybody ready. Coach Young gives a short speech, and Martin follows. "Doc: Alexander speaks for the old team." Team flies out with fight in their eyes, hearts everywhere. "Nothing but fight and fight and fight," he says. "Pleasurable reporters and photographers." They mean all light but just before a game, a fellow doesn't want to be there. He looks the grandstands and walk around the field so there won't be any nervousness.

Come on Mr. "Ref" blow the whistle. Shr re-et. there it is. Teams line up. Whistle. But is kicked low and boun- es trickfully. I get it but failed to use my head and was tackled before I make much of a gain. Taylor uses his head. Lee, the human battering rum, starts his plunges, 5, 7, 10, all kinds of yards. Can't stop that boy. I am used as a threat. Ball doesn't come near me. Calloway with his frozen smile, is playing like a perfect machine. Morgan is passing like Walsh of Notre Dame or Matthews of old would pass. Poor Anderson. his fractured rib is hurting him. I can see it. Game, yes he is. GAME to the core. Howard's famous defense seems mythical. Great day! here we are on their one yard line. "Wake up Jazz." What down "Ball" Taylor. Fourth cries Gibson. Fake play "bam goes" Tom Lee. Biff, hang, curses, moans, "over." "No it ain't it never came over." Squabbles, bickering, Jackson says it didn't go over. "Robbery" cries Lincoln. It was raw. But he really believed what he said. All right boys will make up for it. Why Howard Lost To my mind that is what made Howard lose. That mistake (which is human) made us so blooming mad that we could have killed. Howard kicked again. In a couple of minutes we had scored. Howard's defense was so busy watching one man, until the other ten played better than they ever could. Anderson sure made a sweet pass to Lancaster. Howard kicked, a few minutes of playing, a resounding thud loose ball and all I can see is Lancaster flying to the goal. Bam, Crupd kicked second goal, 14 to 0. Now Crupd blocked a kick, and made a touchdown. Going pretty good. What! Outside? Never. Robbed us again. I was running interference a part of the way for Crupd and I knew he didn't step outside. Those cross lines are confusing the officials, mighty costly to us. In no time Taylor chalked up six more points, plunging right behind Morgan and Calloway. Crupd had found a difficult pass out of the arms of Howard's whole backfield. Howard still watches me, and also have 21 to 0 to watch. Stuart joking "Can't get away today old fly boy," "Cold turkey and cold bird," I laughed but I am getting hot. Instructions keep me from getting ball. Here it is first half over already.

ACRON GOLF CLUB OPENS IN RICHMOND Richmond, Va., Dec. 11.-The royal and ancient pastime of golf is fast taking root in this Southern capital, and has worked its way into the blood of the city. On Thanksgiving Day, hundreds of lovers of the sport, witnessed the opening of the Acorn Country Club's course to its members. The club is located at Fair Oaks near Seven Rivers, a private estate of Oscar M. Brown. The course has not been completed, but when finished it will be one of the most picturesque courses in the Southland. The land is rolling, with plenty of natural hazards. The special exhibition match between Russell Banks and Samuel Cullens proved of much interest to the players. Cullens played a remarkable game, being 6 down at the turn and losing the next hole with the score 6 down and 8 to play, shooting 6 down and 12 to play, shooting 12 down. The 13th hole is 250 yards par 4. Cullen held a 30 foot putt for an eagle 2. The following card was turned in: Banks — Out 443 537 653 33—7 — In 355 446 655 42—79 Cullens — In 355 446 655 42—79 Cullens — In 434 435 345—28 CHALLENGES SLED RIDERS TO RAGE Who has the fastest sled in Baltimore? That's the question Daniel Scott of Calhoun Street, would like to answer. He believes his sled is the fastest in these parts and is willing to back up his belief when the first snow fall will justify the race. The race will be open to homemade products only and will take place on on some hill side, to be agreed upon. This race ought to prove a novelty, as it would be interesting to see these days.

Dec. 11.—Defeating Tommy Gibbons will mean more than merely- winning the fight for Kid Norfolk, Baltimore fighter who met Gibbons in the feature bout at the Madison Square Garden Christmas benefit fund as Norfolk had waged nearly his entire end of the purse on himself, an amount totaling $10,000. Leo Flynn, manager of Norfolk has backed up his man by betting $15,000 that he would get the decision over the St. Paul heavyweight, and at odds 5 and 6 to 1. Norfolk had supreme confidence in himself that he would stop Gibbons and Flynn believed it too, so they backed up their boiler with $25,000. Norfolk went to the bank last week and drew out ten crisp new one thousand dollar bills and laid it on himself that he would stop Gibbons, a thing that has never been found. Dempsey funded to do the thing Norfolk and Flynn took a chance on. Norfolk is considered a good business man too, and has several well-known investments in Harlem real estate. DANCING I. B. P.

When asked how he rested the other night in a New York hotel, the Tiger admitted he dint rest at all and the tickling kept him awake most of the night. It was suggested to Flowers that he should have stopped the clock, when he said. I will always mind my business from now on and anything that concern me." "I will never forget," said the fighter, "when I was in Juarez, Mexico, and they put me in a room and in a corner was a door open to me. It. I never could sleep with a light burning in a room, so I got up and blew the candle out. Then, in the morning they came near lynching me. Yes sir. They were in their father and run out of the town.

Virginia and Pennsylvania Cumberland, Md., Dec. 12.—Friday night, on the Cumberland High School court, the "Jolly Boys," white, defeated the High School Five basketball team to a final score of 26-24. The Cumberland High Varsity was somewhat crippled by the absence of H. Darr, the plucky little guard. Cooper, Frisby, Myres and Jackson, nevertheless, put up a good defensive game for the home team. At the end of the first quarter the score stood 8-8, and when the H. S. F. came back into the game they were determined to break the tie. During the second quarter McCann was relieved by Blake.

Sheppard Is Placed Philadelphia, Dec. 11. Sheppard, the brilliant fallback on the Pennsylvania Institute for the Deaf, was given the All-Philadelphia Schoolboy Football Team and placed on the first team of the All-Suburban Schoolboy Football al tournament when he was suspended for one year for misconduct on the court. "During the tournament," he wrote by Brown and appeared in the AFRO in which he referred to the A.T.A. officials as loggershead. The A.T.A. voted that Brown would and indeed until he had appeared before the judiciary committee, explained his actions and made an apology. This Brown refused to do. Whether the officials of the association will take the following statement remains to be seen. I deem it no small honor to enjoy the confidence of the great and powerful paper of which I am a member and because of the AFRO's first place in my mind and from appreciation of the many general and special favors you have been given, I am grateful and wish to make public for the first time the following statement for what I believe you and many of my most sincer friends throughout the country have shared in the interests of the future development of "Colored" tennis and as many of its present adherents fondly hope, the rise of the modern driving game as well as the playing in the Dixie Cup, Matches. Because I hope to boysat-the day when Colored boys and girls, many times victors in competition with allcomers in as many phases of athletic prowess, may be crowned the National Champions at Forest Hills, New York.

In my life time, and yours, this new assent of the ladder of fame is bound to be a statement for publication first in your columns that history may record my name among those who gave the initial impetus to this dormant ambition to become a fourteen-year-old son (or daughter) of the master's former slave, and further that none, not even the ignorant one, alleged act or word of mine reflected a fractional leta on the game of tennis that has come down to us as a symbol of the most humble official or player of the American Tennis Association. I am indeed glad that there are only a very few individuals in words where could I almost without a slightest indication from me be led to grossly misconduct my motives. May the above statement put to sleep for me, and I will gladly gossip and "confounded misgivings."

It possessed many interesting polling but, compared to the other total in the Gershwin "Kniprodle in Blue" than in the Handy-Nussbaum composition. For the venerable Mr. Handy, a Negro, who is a credit holder in America's popular music, it was a fine tribute, a reward that may not quite compensate the veteran "blues" composer for his work on the musical certainly a simulation of appreciation in as fine a musical centre as any mortal could desire. The composer of "New Louis Blues" and the type wrote a remarkably fine composition and it was arranged equally as well. One of the leading high-brow critics of a New York morning paper immediately exclaimed to meet and talk to Mr. Handy. CITIZENS DUPES OF FAKE MOVIE SCOUT St. Louis, Dec. 11. —More than 400 Negroes with visions of movie careers in Hollywood lost all hope and $700 in their pensions. Last late week a negro, said to be Al Edwards, arrived in the black belt and announced he was "general manager" of the picture company in the world." Edwards backed up his announcement with "liond" clothes and a smooth tongue. He opened an office and sent a message to the director of the groes" for a film entitled "Single of the Jungles." A day of two later his office was crowded with applicants for the job. He was necessary to charge each $1.50 to assure their sincerity and that they would show up when the special train pulled out for Hollywood. California Edwards to more chatter and he telephoned the Missouri-Pacific Railroad. Edwards finally left word he would be waiting for his future movie stars on the Special train which departed at 7:13. On his desk in the office he noted for his secretary. It follows. "To all my movie stars and my many colored friends of this most wonderful world, thank you, one and all, for generous contributions. My only regret is I was not able to attend each and every one, and thank you personally, I could, but I can, because I sing this film just gone. You sing this film just gone and Stale My Confidence, etc." Who's Who — And Where Attached is Floyd Shackelford's news of the activities of colored film actors out of California way, published in the Eagle of Los Angeles. The William Fox Co. seems to be having a lot of bad luck with their production of "Checkers." Who is in the supporting cast has been called back to work three times in the last three months. Mr. Robert Fraser is appearing as Brandon in Herbert Brennan's production of "Peter Pan" for the "Famous Players Lasky Corporation." "The Wizard of Oz." Larry Semon's latest production made him the best according to Curtis Mc Henry as poor Curtis looks like he just returned from a hospital after finishing his part in the picture.

"If we look for an analogy to him as a singer it would not be found among the vivacious and richly endowed vocalists or type of Jubilee Singer. Rather must we turn to European singers like the great French interpreter, Edmont Clement or Italianes like Gigi and Schipa. He has a voice of the purest lyric beauty, but with more luscious warmth, and more intimate poetry. In technical graces he is really approached only by Clement who has a most modest and engaging personality and his mastery of the finer shades of all school of song is amazing, considering his youth and antecedents. For Clement, from the standpoint of technical beauty his rendering of "The Dream" from Massonct's "Manon." His planissimo was ravishing in mysterious duet loveliness, and the other interpretation made it a supreme artistic achievement." - Toronto (Can.) Saturday Night, Nov. 4. "24." One of the best singers that we Montrealers have heard or are likely to hear. The accounts of Mr. Hayes singing produced great expectations not only in the skill of the singing but the truth was far beyond these, but in the amazing musical understanding. It is impossible to describe Mr. Hayes' singing of Negro spirituals; that some of them were with. With a few words he put, into the right mood and held us there with the whole religious feeling of the Negro rave. With the rave being such a great singing, there seemed to be some kind of magic in the rendering of the Spirituals. There are not very many singers who could sing anything on the programme as well as Mr Hayes, there are few who could sing such a variety of things in no cohesion no cohesion of them." -M.P.E.-Montreal Star, Nov. 1, '24.

"SHUFFLE ALONG" HERE AT REGENT THEATRE NEXT WEEK EX-TROUPER RECALLS THE OLDEN DAYS Silly Ritchie Resells When Actors Were Paid $5 A Week and "Cakes." Audiences Rarely Sober, And Demanded Smutty Shows. BY KENNARD WILLIAMS. Many elder Baltimoreans, doubtlessly, remember the city of Macota, a ministral organization that flourished in Baltimore years ago. Some of the members of the pioneer Negro theatrical company the city are still following the trails of the "Mimic World," many have gone "West," while about a baker's dozen are following other avocations. Among the latter class, mentioned in the preceding paragraph, is Billy Ritchie, a former member of Mascot, now engaged in business at Lawn and Division street in Birmingham. "Billy" did a speeches in the palmy days of the organization, being a part of the trio of Sorell and Norrell, who are important coalesce of local productions by the minstrels. $5 a week and "Cakes" Beenoming with the theatrical germ. Ritchie left Baltimore in 1835, going to Boston, to callender Callender's George Minstrels. The pay in the minstrels was as no compense to the unheard of able to command these actors are leader's Minstrels. A week later minstrels in minstrel and outdoor show parlance, is board. And to quote Billy Ritchie, the time we did it, "Much advertisement—to obtain fabulous bakes by press agents, but $1 per week was the largest amount any member of that particular business draw at the time we speak." "Ocee" continued the veteran tweeter. "I approached the man- ace. Charles Menden, for an vance of three dollars, did become the request in making request that he smash- tin in the mouth. It hurt, but I is no way resented it. I hurt, but I turned to get on, knowing that that is a very fine man, TO CONQUER" Billy put in quite a little time with a pioneer pioneer Negre company, Pitt Lansville's Colored Vaudeville First Colored Theatre Calender's organization travelled the New England States and the Dominion of Canada. Billy also relied on the statement that he had taken a man, a well to do to do man, of the first Negro in the country to open a stored theatre and finance it. Robinson paid the mixed acts which he played the extraordinarily high salaries of the actors for week or week. The acts lived above the theatre and also ate on the premises. The audience were largely made up from sailors or who, attended whenever they Minstrel Stars "Billy" was an intimate of many of the celebrities of that day; Billy Kersands, Luke Blackburn, Billy English (the comedian), John Larkin, John H. Smith, Bob Slater and "Blondy" Robinson, many of whom are actively engaged in the profession today. Mingrette was the musical comedies are to the theatre of day. Vaudeville was just beginning, and was being refined to become to have grown into the crude glaze. Marcus Loew Marcus Leew, the pioneer five cint movie exhibitor, was a personal acquaintance of Ritchie's, who recalls that he was an ordinary tradeswoman. He was a promising idea of converting stores into "Nickelodeons" or movie houses. The Keith and other interests used pictures for emptying their vaults, and the other crowd might enter. That is, the pictures shown at the time of such a poor quality that immediately the taundale was finished and the picture appeared the audience would have been applauded when it came to the "chairs." One Day Stands Soon, however, pictures were improved, and Loew gave both picture and sauvillee for his team. Richie joined the team, the name of Billy and his new partner, not received much work. Bookings were for one day only. Often, if by chance, a couple arrived in any of the courtyard of which were in New York City, and frequently the corner from each other they were cancelled. The couple also call the office, receive another booking across the street, pack the dressroom in a suit case and go to the next stand. The day they were considered "BOFT," they unfavorable to anyone in the audience, that patron would "tell the lie in no uncertain terms. They were appealed was made to the Bofft for another date. Frequently it became necessary for an act to change their routine at each new house in order they might keep steadily "working."

Here is Adventure! Here is Drama! There is much more to the picture than the name implies. Much more than the remarkable story of the greatest man America has produced. There is a wondrous tale so big that it will re-enact the story. A TRAINMENT so varied that everybody, young and old will find something different to admire and applaud. The object lesson for students is invaluable. Lincoln is often called, should prove a magnet toward which most of our group should be drawn. Capacity is often a precursor of the magnificence of this picture, and in the remaining three days of its showing countless other thousands will, undoubtedly, wend their attention to this turning point.

Plainists Had Beer "Quite often," said Ritchie, "we would start working in blackface, and when the last show came around we would face the faces to their original color. Plants usually fortified themselves with a pall of beer or other intoxicants of the draughts during the show. The latter class of houses were known as 'outlaw' houses, but from them have come the more modern day acesses of the legitimate stage. At a later date, Mr. Ritchie will relate other bits of his experiences in the days when colored and white faces and theatres were in the making. **WEEN** we say that we are so sole drummer we are telling you that we are the greatest drums in the world!

Albert and Charles Gaines, one of the best comedic teams playing the country today, are a positive "riot." These boys have abandoned companies and are proficient in their original art, their original act shown of the business responsibility of looking out for other people. The pair are a life saver and colored vaudeville act of first class novelties is considered. "Moaning Minors" in a clear contrasto, Gertrude Struffin followed in the "deuce" spot. Miss Struffin seems to be unfortunate in her choice of roles, but she is lacking in melody and the sparkle of lyric. The third was put over with the aid of a little stepping and earned several bows and a demand for an encore, which she was obliged to o Williams and Williams, male and female, closed with a routine not distinguished from any of several hundred others passing this year way.

Llangeston, Chicago critic, in statement, last week, claims manager is to be blamed. Baltimore houses cited by him were of buildings which he said "In need of everything, including a visit from the Heath Department." Manager Berger told the AFRO "Manager Berger told the AFRO to blame for the condition of his dressing rooms. stating that they are left in such a filthy condition that the janitor refuses to clean them." Manager Berger, the Lincoln, it was said: "A filthy rat hole, could not be reached." The Regent was given a clean bill of health "The only theatre in town, where any effort has been made looking to the comfort and convenience of the performer." Manager Hornsfield had had the intolerable conditions prevailing in many of the houses, and thought that the time had come for a protest. NEW LITTLE THEATRE FOR LONG ISLAND New York, N.

Mr. Lowery—Hypocrit of the friends of the black race are still G. Lowery, of Mississippi, then G. Gies and fewer "friends." Lowery took the floor in the House last $400,000 appropriation to Howard and that Congress had no authority to schools. incerece friends of the race have made it but Mr. Lowery went further. He declaring he challenged "any man in decision to be any more truly a friend of evidence of "friendship" for the Negro he was "raised with them, never hit him and wants them to get the best Mr. Lowery gives further proof of his dee. Says he in effect, "If we continue diversity and make it a great school we wishing a Mecca for the Negro race, population is Negro now, and we are a wrong when we pass legislation more to place the National Capital if they should be given the franchise, Mr. Lowery is the kind of friend an agency to raise children, a beast and a United States citizen without a Lowery's left-handed friendship remit the wily狐 who had just devoured a quill to pick his teeth. Said the friends." 1. Colored policemen, policewomen and firemen. Colored representatives on city, county and State Board of Education. 2. Equal salaries for equal work for school teachers without regard to color or sex. 3. Colored members on board of State institutions where inmates are colored. 4. The organization of labor unions among all groups of colored workers. 5. A university and agricultural college for colored people supported by the State. 6. Closer co-operation between farmers and the State and Federal farm agents. If all of the friends of the black race are like Representative Bill G. Lowery, of Mississippi, then God grant us more enemies and fewer "friends." Mr. Lowery took the floor in the House last week to oppose the $400,000 appropriation to Howard University on the ground that Congress had no authority to grant funds to private schools. Many sincere friends of the race have made this contention before, but Mr. Lowery went further. He opened his remarks by declaring he challenged "any man in the House from any section to be any more truly a friend of the Negro than I am." As evidence of "friendship" for the Negro he cited the fact that he was "raised with them, never hit one, but has worked them and wants them to get the best things for themselves. Then Mr. Lowery gives further proof of his "friendship" for the race. Says he in effect, "If we continue to support Howard University and make it a great school we are tending to make Washington a Mecca for the Negro race. Over one-third of the population is Negro now, and we are doing the Negro race a wrong when we pass legislation which tends more and more to place the National Capital under their domination, if they should be given the franchise." In short, Mr. Lowery is the kind of friend who sees in the Negro an agency to raise children, a beast of burden to be worked and a United States citizen without a vote. Mr. Lowery's left-handed friendship reminds of the remark of the wily fox who had just devoured a fat goose and was using a quill to pick his teeth. Said the fox, "Geese are my best friends."

Governor Ritchie's announcement that he intends to advertise the parole of Charles F. Urban, white, who killed Charles Williams in the latter's home, strikes the community like a blow between the eyes. Urban, a Baltimore policeman, claimed that, although in citizens' clothing, he attempted to enter the Williams home in response to the cries of "help." However, it is a matter of record that when arrested he entered the house looking for bootleggers. This statement was changed afterwards following consultation with its attorneys. There was evidence on the part of white neighbors in the block that there was no disturbance in the Williams home, such as could be detected from the outside; that Williams was a quiet man, that he was alone, unarmed, and that there was some jealousy on the part of other white neighbors because he lived in that block. Urban, it was also proved, was related to neighbors across the street who were unfriendly to Williams. Knowing the sentiment in the city to be opposed to Urban, his counsel succeeding in getting the trial transferred to Towson, where a jury of Urban's own race convicted him and a judge sentenced him to five years in the House of Correction. Thus were the ends of justice served according to sentiment in this State. Now along comes the Governor, without any new testimony to work upon, but upon the urgence of Urban's friends, pardon to a murderer. Two years ago he pardoned John Pilchard, white, who slew Stephen Long, a Pocomoke school teacher, after a short term in the House of Correction. It is difficult under these circumstances to see in Governor Ritchie a champion of justice, a friend of order or an apostle of the square deal. The President's Message President Coolidge in his message to the Negro said: "Indually, but surely, with the aid whom they live, the colored power is firmly protected from all of those they, it they fall a prey, are that they should receive even in all the beings of our core prehension immediately. The daily press reflects President's message an appoli-ti-Lynching Bill, which was filibustered to death.

Court Coolidge in his message to Congress, the Negro said: "I, but surely, with the almost universal sympathy they live, the colored people are working out their rights and protecting from all of those impositions to which they naturally fall a prey, especially from the crime that they should receive every encouragement to take the belishings of our common American citizen. A dimension immediately arose in many see the daily press reflected it.

Another group point out that the President's legislation on this point in his speech as merely political and a gesture to military forces which aided him in the elloidge is an astute politician.

The believes, and what he intends to do Constitution which he has sworn to protect different things. The President has waited. President Coolidge in his message to Congress last week referring to the Negro said: Gradually, but surely, with the almost universal sympathy of those among whom they live, the colored people are working out their own destiny. I firmly believe that it is better for all concerned that they should be protected from all their hostility, and that they should be filled up with a pre-eminence from the crime of lynching, and that they should receive every encouragement to become full partakers in all the beissings of our common American citizenship. Apprehension immediately arose in many sections of the South. The daily press reflected it. Some newspapers see in the President's message an appeal for Congress to pass the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, which passed the House last session and was filibustered to death in the Senate by Southern senators. Still another group point out that the President suggests no remedial legislation on this point in his speech which is to be regarded as merely political and a gesture to mollify those colored political forces which aided him in the election. Mr. Coolidge is an astute politician. He toyed with the Ku Klux Klan before election, but now that he is safely in the White House for four years more, manifests a kindly interest in the citizenship rights of the race furthest down. After all the President's message must be taken at its face value. HE BELIEVES, he says, that there should be an end of lynching and that the Negro should be regarded everywhere as a full citizen. What he believes, and what he intends to do about enforcing the Constitution which he has sworn to uphold, are two entirely different things. The President has spoken, his action is awaited.

WATSON NEWS ITEM—A colored cap responded to a Riot Call sent in from the Annual Meeting o the Daughters of the Confederacy. PROFESSOR FUDGE At The Alpha's Ball I have last finished going over a complete list of the guest present at the Alpha Ball in Washington, D. C. With the aid of a microwave, I am still able to find the names of fifty or more Baltimore young ladies more certainty of their attendance. It seems to me many of them confused the Alpha dance with the Alpha ball. I have just finished going over a complete list of the guest press statements in Washington, D. C. With the aid of a microscope I am still unable to find the names of many more individuals who announced the certainty of their attendance. It seems to me that many fused the Alpha dance with the big "shuffle" held at Convention Hall. However it needless was that they were strained at the end who was usher when they reached Washington. White Lies Someone would ask, why do young ladies tell these kind of lies when information is always available concerning the regular newspaperman's mind such statements are a reflection upon the reliability, the integrity and the ability of our colored newspapers. Once upon a time our weeklies only carried such articles by acclimatization, but now our staff's relatives were accidently invited, then the social function was proclaimed from the front page in large type with posed, photo of young lady billed as the belle of the ball. Them Days Gone However, that day is gone forever. It is just a matter of news with our papers now and somehow we can get quick time and air them to the public. Practically all of our papers can latch on to such items and even the New York Age lays on giving the reader a nice time to say "a nice time was had by all." Sending invitations to the editor's second cousin doesn't get it anymore, the Observer proved that some time around a harden me for mentioning the dead. Ladies Justified But, as I was saying, the regular newspaper men take offense at such statement because they know it to be matter a few hours before they will have the facts in hand. With me it is hard to investigate the causes for such bread and misleading statements and feel the -young ladies are perfectly in spreading such propaganda. They make those bogus cracks for the same reason the A. and P. stores advertise Shoe Peg Corn at fifteen Publicity The idea is publicity. Everybody wants some kind of publicity. The government advertised during the war and gave promotions to the organized the fainting in Armenia to fight the United States Treasury. Their motto was, "Give until it hurts, which was just as useful as getting out of cubs" put out about that Alpha Ball. However, I reason this way. If the government and big business can advertise, why not a young inside person? If she is still alive and would appreciate an invitation somewhere sometimes, it would be bold, adduced and included for her to say, "I wish someone would invite me somewhere," so she just says, "I am invited to the city," and on the she she put the nearest approaching fandango with the most class to it. Sometimes they land, most of the time they don't. But if they don't they havent lost anything, for as a mutual fact they don't even lose the desire. Society Editors Lose All this brings up another question. Why should the Baltimore Bureau of Immigration be involved in social affairs in other cities in order to give it out they are invited to them and then stay in the house for them and have the telephone disconnected. The reason is obvious. There has been an absolute dearth of social functions in this city for some time. The lack of jobs, the dressmakers are on half rations and most of the musicians made arrangements to go south with the tourists. The people are kicking because if the Baltimores people socialize or if they don't, it makes no difference to them as they go to the ice cream and gingerleade. Many Reasons Why Folks attribute the social lethargy to many things. Some say, on account of the Presidential election year, business is dull and money is tight, therefore the people have to hold up for a little while. Others say people are getting the attention, which is a lie. Maybe some ten or fifteen other reasons have been advanced but as the French say, "They must not hold water." There must be some reason, and I have tried to dope it out. Social Baron I proceeded to look over the Afro's social files and after comparing notes I found out that soon after the "Sociel Baron" went into retirement the social office came by the board. The fact is then that those folks who take great delight in social affairs are without a lead-up to the office. Hon. E. B. Taylor was the moving power in things social, something was always doing even if turmoll and strife was rife. The men of the are like Vice Presidents. They function when there is a chief but when the chief goes to sleep they are done for. Turmoll and Strife I have just mentioned turmoll and strife while I will again call your attention to the words turmoll and strife. "Think of it," as they would say. When people get so friendly with each other they must be more turmoll and strife the jig is about up. There must be snubbing and backbiting and "said she sale" and such who are supposed to be invited must be left home and some must be let in who are not supposed to be presided in this way interest is sustained. Holidays a Blank For the coming holidays it looks like a blank. There won't even be a so-called affair of such magnitude as the "Debs." The poor girls won't be able to have a regular coming out event. The girls should should a leader be developed and function staged, the "Debs" won't have time to go in so that they can come out. I see by the paper the Bachelors are cointemplating some kind of a one night stand and an afternoon to which might be added, never mind the participants, bring on the shuffle and the confetti and the favors ladies' valuable dresses and the men can look more like clowns than ever. Patent Attorneys If there is such a thing in the house as a patent attorney I wish to know what makes him known. I am in search of enlightenment on something that has troubled me for some years past. Up to the present I have not been able to find a patent attorney so I am determined to ask for it publicly. I want to know something about the patent office and secondly, I want to know about copyrights. For instance on sheet music you can see this copyrighted colored actors in colored theatres and moving houses can't use songs until they have been on the market at home. I don't give you the information, I will be very much pleased. Quite frequently I avail myself of the privilege of using my newspaper and I can fully say that I have not yet once heard a song sung by any colored actor and I did not have whiskers on it. The last rendition I heard was the "Sheik," sung by a colored gentleman. Possibly he could excuse us as the picture presented was "Monseur Beaucaire," featuring Rudolph Valentine. It is likely he was a man who knew merely to assist, the picture. This could have been, but there are numerous other ones on the map that were always bound to those time worn songs. Now if our actors can't sing those new songs, the attention to be called to the attention of the champion of the Negro race, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. To Supreme Court If the N. A. A. C. P. will take this matter in hand and push it to the limit even to the key we will grow much more in the favour of the darker races. I am satisfied Mr. Hornstein and the other theatre managers all over the country will contribute money to make the fight. Even the public will come up with nickels and dimes to get this bill through the legislature. It is impossible, then the public is asking for the PLEEZ have that song "BeRe" outlawed. AMOS HOKUM SAYS African Cotton and Native Labor Says a New York Times publication, Labor Government (British South Africa) or Haiti, is under fire from the opposition press and a count of its alleged policy of discrimination against Nazi Says a New York woman, "The Nationalist-Labor Government (British South Africa) Hertzog is under fire from the opposition press and a court of its alleged policy of discrimination against Native Africans. W.M. N. JONES is one of the Minister of Railways in dismissing native labor on the railways and substituting white, and the embargo enforced against the importation of cattle owned by natives of Bechaunland and Rhodesia, is most strongly enforced. Thus the iron hand of English imperialism is felt in South as well as Northern in keeping a firm on the native labor and rich resources of that country. Up in the rich Sudan Nile bottoms native labor is turning out of labour, which is distributed among England's lords and dukes and used to maintain the rink of own control of the empire. This, however, may not turn out the worst thing in the world, for without contact with strong people, you will be sleeping African might never have come to life. For thousands of years the wealth of the Nile flowed to the Mediterranean. Our position and oppressions are some times the beginning of human development. They have all been made worse, which all great races were born. England is scatching the mental bump of native freedom in Africa, and setting free future forces of revolution. The way of human progress. Men must right to develop and Africa's chance is coming. American Negroes with money to invest will well look towards Africa. A simple purchase of tracts of land there now that can be had for a few dollars might mean a fortune to your children twenty years hence. You will be long distance thinking Englishmen it will be worth that to you. A Kind Southerner And His "Niggers" If you ever pass through Georgia you will hear the name of Pleckens County and Colonel Sam Tate. Many colored men will also listen in Pleckens County. That man who told that Colonel Tate is one of the best men in the world. For generations the Tates have owned a large portion of Pleckens County, and they own a few, in fee simple. Colonel Sam Tate is one of the big owners of the Georgia Marble Company, one of the million dollar quarries of that State. As southern men of his type goes it is a good man to have and he is in his relations to white and colored. 1 Smile at all the senseless Christmas presents you get. You can pass'em off again next Christmas and get more smiles. Mrs. Bilger: I never knew your husband was lazy. Mrs. Bilks: He's had a postal on his desk for a week now and says he can't read it, because it is wrong side up. She said "good night" twice, once when he came and once when he left. He was delivering a Victrola. The distance was great—his time very limited. When he arrived there he found out that he had broken a record. There is one that money will not buy, says Calvin Chase, emphatically, and adds anxiously. But darned if I haven't forgotten what it is. Let me park in a car by the side of the road and arouse the curiosity of man. Mrs. Broune* Our new minister is just wonderful. He always brings the truth home to you. Mr. Muske* Wouldn't it be perfectly lovely to have a husband like that? Rasmus, why you all look so powerful sad? I don't leave my door last night an' all ma chickens have gone off home. John W. Stephney says he knows one bird who is so frail that he can't smoke a stole without losing his balance and falling down. Young Wife* George, I want a fireless cooker.

BLOW WINDS, BLOW A windy corner now and then is refilled by the best of men. And eyes are turned as wind doth Said Editor Jones, some time ago. But mildly on corners she doesn't worry She turns on corners all a-flurry. She sees no gris, she hears no snickers. A wonderful age, this age of knickers Many a charity fund owes its success to the competition of vanity. But an incident described in a current issue of *Collier's* will remind us of mind that most southern men think proper in their thoughts of colored men and women, who was Collier's story "when Dawson and Forsyth Counties (bordering Pickens) developed a violent case of negligence, clashes and schools were burned. Several Negroes were lynched. one to Dawson and Forsyth was the county of Pickens. There were Negroes in Pickens. Notices were posted that all Negroes must leave County within twenty four hours. "Then Colonel Sam Tate called his thousand of white workmen together to pickens, and men that when the niggers leave Pickens County. I am going with them, premises to stand by a man on protecting these niggers." You will read these last lines with a variation of emotion: emotions for the stern justice minged with that of the gentleman, and portray when they say "nigger." Is it not a pity that the needless sting expressed by the constant disgust of the audience are not allowed to die as the finer qualifies of men take hold? Where Is Heaven? If you ask an Esquilo where Heaven is he will point down. His heart believes the interior of the earth to be warm and he lives in a miserably cold climate. He will point to the skies in describing hell, for it seems colder even there. Our forefathers taught us that sulfur and bristol were of sulfuring and bristol. Burning sulphur and bristol was the most terrible thing they know and that MUST BE BURNED. It is more or less, vaguely conscious of hoping to get to the place called heaven after we "shake off this mortal colt" Been in church and the burning hell is still depends upon blind and abiding FAITH with most of us. We hear less of the pearly geyers churches and the burning hell of bristol and fire has almost ceased to be a suitable place for approaches a suite of general happiness men will not need an incentive of either heaven or hell in the anguish and narrow path. Just as we have done away with human sacrifice and the burning of altars, we will do away with a number of present day beliefs as this one does.

The Negro race must henceforth work out its own salvation without fear or trembling. Further reliance upon political parties is like dependence upon a broken stick. We must work for the coming of a better day when our political rights will be accorded cheerfully by North and South alike. Such words as those of the President may hasten the coming of that day, but slowly. President Coolidge has made reference to the Negro in his annual message to Congress. The reference is temperate, kindly will all savings of the Ku Klux Klan, or meant, the kindness of personal good will, but does not disclose the slightest indication of official purpose. But every little bit helps. Boggars can not help response. We need not then exp from the public any enthusiasm Negro a Bigger Race The Negro has become a race of beggars on bended knee beseeching the great heart of this magnanimous nation to accord us our rights under the law. For the most part our plea falls on deaf ears. The people hold us in derelion; the rulers laugh us to scorn. There is scarcely a man in either house of Congress who will dare stand in his high place of authority and courageously contend for the constitutional rights of the Negro as an American citizen. We are, therefore, doubly thankful for any cold crumb of comfort that falls from the table of official favor. Any word from the mouth of presidential authority, however moderate and restrained, will cause the people give our cause at least a moment's pause. When the President speaks the people listen; when he is silent we infer that he is indifferent. The President Speaks These are Mr. Coolidge's words: "I firmly believe that it is better for people to be accorded their full constitutional rights." Here we have revealed the Coolidge Commission authorizes the President to call the attention of Congress from time to time to the general needs of the nation. The annual and special messages of the executive therefore need not be limited to a specific program of the president, but to the general needs of the nation. President Coolidge's reference to the Negro is couched in the most partisan expression; but it is wholly non-political. It is but a humane sarcomic appeal to the sober sense of self-interest of the American people. Not Threat: But Appeal He pleads as a preacher of truth to a people who are dull of ear and how he does not speak with the authority of declared intention. We are not told that the President is determined to use his constitutional power to advise the advises. He merely makes an appeal to conscience. Mr. Coolidge is superlatively cautious. His nature is human, the character is anthropical. There is no intention of involving the race question in the vortex of partizan agitation. His is the philosophy of propitiation. A Simple Truism On closer analysis of the President's position, we find that the appeal is made primarily to the souls of the people, for all concerned cheerfully to acquiesce in the Negro's political rights. This statement reduces itself to a mere ethical truism. Who does not believe that obey the law than to ruthlessly violate it? There are many right minded white men in the South who believe this doctrine as firmly as the Constitution. I wonder if such patriotic statemen as Underwood, of Alabama, do know that the law requires "How long can we go on violating our own constitution, without suffering the moral consequences, if we always follow the disaster of law?" Davis More Effective I stated during the campaign that I felt that Mr. Davis could and probably should assist the South in favor of a more liberal political attitude to the South, and still think so. Mr. Davis' declared attitude toward the rights of the Negro is far more positive than that of the white people. The fact that the leaders of the two great political parties are in substantial agreement on this question is significant. They both are but pressing the sober judgment of the best minds and conscience of the South without regard to political division. This is the only way, in my opinion, to advance his former political status. Mr. Coolidge has not the remotest intention of invoking the enforcement of the 54 amendments which guarantee the Negro the rights in question. The Republican party is in full charge of all branches of the government, and is in enforcement of the Federal Constitution. The President, who is in general sympathy with the broad majority, is prepared to because public sentiment forbids. No American who could be elected to the presidency must be morally to make a frontal attack on the violation of the organic law of the land. Had Mr. Davis been elected president, the forcement of all law in general, and upon the specific human rights amendments, one can only speculate that he would have handled this question. He would have been hedged in by a political following which for the first time he would have site policy. How far would he have been persuasive with the solid South? It would have been a mirroring him to bring them round to his view. The fact is the American mind is in love with the idea of time to give little litle to moral considerations. The ideal of the day is big dividends and the full dinner A. Simple Truism Republicans In Full Charge ones. The public turned as it were a deaf ear to public corruption, the general public, and the ranks of the Klu Klu Klan, or other question of national and international righteousness, which constituted the rallying cry that met immediate response. We need not then expect from the Klu Klu Klan for assistance in president's suggestion. We must, in fact, that it will find encouragement in legislation would be a vain delusion. Will Help Public Sentiment We thank the President for his kindly intended words. But we do not expect that any immediate response from the president would like those of Davis and Coolidge help all around. Public sentiment is a creature of slow growth. Every would like to get our pubble men in the habit of saying and thinking such things. Talk after all is the greatest force in the world. The public was not originated and impressed upon the public mind through talk. The people listen to every word that is said. When enough pay head, results may be looked for. President Coolidge places little stress on the importance of rapid advancement. He tells us that under the operation of beneficial economic law, the Negro is rapidly working out his own destiny. The Negro race must henceforth work out its own salvation without fear or trembling. Further reliance upon political power is necessary on a broken stick. We must work on and wait and watch for the coming of that better day when our political rights will be accorded to us. We must also make alike. Such words as those of President Coolidge may hasten the coming of that day, but slowly. The D. S. C. And The Negro Policeman The Daughters of the Southern Confederacy were holding an elec- tric rally in Lumbia the other day. Like all other groups not used to parli- mentary procedure, and unsteady by the time they fell into intermineable wrangles, Neither side would yield to the other. From press accounts one might have been a Negro baptist church when the pastor is on trial. The police department was called upon to preserve order. The gang was in a Negro baptist spot. But, horrid to be said, he turned out to be a colored man. Think of a Negro policeman keep- ing a confederate church of the Southern Confederacy. But the off-colored representative of the law performed his sworn duty, and the police profound peace as soon as his face was put in evidence. There was double anointishment. But you could not have a rapid adjustment to relieve the tension of any situation. As soon as the colored man had disguised himself, "Well, ladies, I will be out on the sidewalk, if you have any need of me. But you may rest assured that you will be required in the law color-blind? 15 Years Ago Items From The Afro-American of December 11th, 1909 President Taft in Message to Congress was mum, on Southern conditions affecting Negroes.

When unusual noises reported by their occupants of the building brought police officers they found the white man and the young woman in a much disarranged, but costly furnished apartment. Joolousy Cause Testimony given by Miss Stokes told the fact that jealousy on the part of Costolas brought on the altercation. Although he gave her many fine clothes and a nightie, he forbidded her going out at any time or associating with others. When she took a walk with a nightie and signed up for nightly, Costolas' blood rose to fever heat, and when she returned he administered Italian punishment on her. In self-defense, she declared, she cut him Miss. Stokes, who is just 22, was laid in a rich fur coat and displayed expensive jewelry at the hearing where she had 125 and costs, and given a warning. DR. LEROY BERRY NAMED EXAMINER The Life Extension Institute of New York, has licensed Dr. Leroy Berry as a co-operating examining physician in this city. The Institute has in charge the language examinations for most of the large insurance companies including the Metropolitan. Specialists Give Up Doctor Robinson Hopkins specialists gave up this week all hope of being able to cure Dr. Robinson at home. Mr. Morning street, who has been in the hospital for the past month suffering from high blood pressure and kidney trouble. Dr. Robinson was removed from the hospital to his home on Friday. It will take no extended argument to prove to Mrs. Fannie Tilghman, 1335 N. Glimoz street, that the pen was more deadlier than either a club or a fat iron in her case Friday night. John Boldin, same address, wielded no more deadlier than the did not write a peace treaty with it, according to Mrs. Tilghman. In fact, he used it with telling-effect on various partions of her anatomy. When Boldin came home Friday night and started to-be up his wife, Mrs. Henrietta Boldin, with a floor-mop. Mrs. Tilghman intervened in behalf of her the fountain pen came into play. When officers arrived they found Mrs. Tilghman suffering with all kinds of injury, and that Bolden had hit her with the pen. The mystery was cleared, however, when some one showed them the pen which was a wooden manufactured as an advertising novelty. Cabbages Cause Trouble "Judge, I just eat so many cabages that I was beginning to turn green, when Mrs. Rebecca Ward, his wife, had him haled fiorc into court on an assault charge. "Yes, 'slr, Judge.' cut in. Mrs. Ward, had him I had cabages for dinner, he broke up three chairs and almost broke me up, too." "Well, you don't give me the money with" "with" triumphantly yelled Mrs. Ward, "and you will get cabbages 'till you do." The Magistrate fined Ward $5 and costs on the assault charge and ad-hoc charge to vary the bill of fare somewhat. Flappers In Mixup John Rodgers recollection of what goes on in the police station from a $25 and cost fine in the Northwestern Police Station at a recent session of that "The Lord knows, Judge," fairly wailed Mrs. Bertha. Dalton, 1708 Madison, 1710 all how long it takes to beat a woman enough. He comes home sometimes and beats me all night. "Even longer than it takes us of unnesses who had been forced to call the officers at 4:30 a.m. Friday morning to save Mrs. Bertha's life." Mrs. Bertha would say, Rodgers "asked the Magistrate. "I 'es can't recollect what went on, that night," lazily responded the "Maybe," said the Magistrate, taking another look at the much older, more expensive and costly will stimulate your memory. "Yes, Judge," said Rodgers, "I do remember now, and I will tell you when I will be." "Too late for memory, now," said the officer as they took him back. Memory Came-Too Late A little jrangular happer, muzzle, which scattered powder, puffs, and lip sticks over nearly a block of Pennsylvania avenue, grouped in a street, and Eilen Jackson. 1028. Pennsylvania avenue, into court Friday morning, where the man who is said to have done most of the scattering made her escape. The trouble started, it was said, when it developed that there was but one shiek to three flappers at a dance they had attended.

It was inadvertently mentioned in the AFRO-AMERICAN of last week that Rev. Dr. F. L. Hertzfeld was employed by the State Board of Parole. Dr. Hertzfeld wishes it known that he is not connected with the Board, but is a volunteer social worker, and is a member of the Committee of the A. M. E. Church. An inquiry into the method of celebrating Christmas before the Civil War and after that great encounter disclosed that there was not a man named William in the method as may be supposed. From one of the city's oldest colored residents who was born a freedman and who was a lad in 1849, the year of the great rush to the gold fields of California, we learned that Baltimore housewives baked cake, cooked eggs, usually tendered all elder visitors as a mark of hospitality. Free Holiday Meat Slaves were also permitted to rest from toll, and allowed to indulge in the work of the settlement during the Yulefes season. Our informant, who lived in East Baltimore, told us that tables fairly groaned at the holiday, season, and year, and was as nothing compared to now. Those folk who were unable to purchase the bare necessities were enabled to supply their labyrinth by the work of the slave on Lewis street, where hog-head, chillings, and other meat was generously given to all who came. Many of the freedmen residing in the seaside town too dignified to avail themselves of this means of supplying their tables. Children Stand At Table The Christmas tree was as popular with young folk as then as now, and it is still a favorite of the little ones as he is today, and the same spirit of angelic goodness THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS - With Apologies "Twas the night before Christmas, when all the night thru; 'The only sound could be heard was Pa making home brew. He used raisins and yeaes, corn husk, and dye, He used vinegar and some lye. Snow, like a backet, lay glistening and thick. But Christmas meant nothing without a drink with a kick. "His midnight and all of the kids are asleep, Dreaming of Santa and reindeers so fleet; Then a little old man who's all muffled up, Creeps from the steep and down the stairs. His bear is quiet and his hair is white too. It's not Santa, its Grandpa to help with the brew. There a tinkle, a lingle, on the air cold and chill; Then a slight thaw, Pa just dropped a part of the still, At last, its together and going full blast, Neither can, wait to get a slip from theask. Then there's a 2-2-2-2-2 and a roar. The bleamed thing's exploded and wrecked half of the floor. Then Pa and Grandpa, both sneak off to bed. They tried for a kick but the duck tapped. Then from the steep and gave gentle tap, last. He's a little Old Man with a sack on his back. At last its St. Nicholas, or maybe a beggar. Both wrong, for it's neither, it's Pa set bootlegging. He possists his wares and ducks out on the street. He stops to pay off the cop on the heat. He jumps in his limousine to get in charge. He buys his clothes to the garage.

Children were amply fed, but were not permitted to eat. Trees were decorated with candy and cake instead of the many pretty gew-gaws seen today. A slight alteration of the rigid discipline was made among the children; children were given toddy in limited portions. The New Year was marked by the free ladies and gentlemen of that day arrayed in the hall, visits to friends and acquaintances. The high silk hat was the headgear of every gentleman, and a hack or cab was generally the model; the model of the interior was hated at each visiting place, and interpenetration was conspicuous by its absence. Boy Attacks Santa An amusing story is related of 1852 about an East Baltimore practical joker, who arrayed himself in a Kriss Kringle costume at Christmas. Entering a small kitchen he had set up, he grabbed there, and barred the narrow door so that the boy was unable to get away. So alarmed did the boy become about the punishment that he thought the Santa was going to get in the year that he attacked the false Kriss with a pair of tongs. gained his freedom, and a licking from his mother. Celebrations The Same The AFRO-AMERICAN of 25 years ago carried on in its solemn and announcements of festivities of the season that differ very little from the affairs, and manner of celebrating of today. The usual rounds of parties, the Santa Claus, the Christmas children's laughter, and expressions of Peace and Goodwill were present then as they are today. In Auto Accident Miss Eva Coates, 29, of 109 N. Mount street, was struck by a truck belonging to the American Express, and was taken to Carry street, on Friday. The vehicle was operated by L. H. Stallings, white 4618 James Avenue. The vehicle was struck, that she had sustained a fracture of the left leg and lacerations of the elbow. Lincoln Day Banquet The 17th Ward Republican Club is planning a Lincoln Day Banquet to be given February 12th. A musical program is to be given on February 12th to appropriate speeches that are in the course of preparation, will make it quite an enjoyable occasion. 29 BRANCHES AT URBAN LEAGUE Cleveland, O. O., Dec. 11. "Co-operation" was the keynote stump at the seventh annual conference of Urban League, held here, December 2nd to 5th. The conference day sessions were held at St. John's A. M. E. Church, and the evening session was at the educational Church, white, and at East Technical High School. Secretaries of Urban League branches from 28 cities were present, and at least that many other organizations were represented by deli- "There must be co-operation within the race as well as co-operation between the two nations," James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, special counsel of the League "The League is seeking to improve the economic status of the Negro and the National Association is seeking to secure the right to position deserves. The two programs should go-hand in hand." William J. Norton, president of the National Association, said "We also spoke on the subject of "Co-operation" at this session. Miss Addams Ill Other speakers included L. Hollingworth Wood, president of the National Urban League, R. Lovejoy, Jr., president of Child Care Institute, who substituted for Miss Jane Addams, of Hull House in Chicago, who was ill in Mary Crawford Daxon, of Daxon, Florida, Normal and Industrial School, and president of the National Association of the Nursery and Preschoolers of Councilin' in the United States Department of Labor; Franklin I. Jones, of the University of Michigan; Miller, head of the Department of Race Relations and Immigration at Ohio State University, and Eugene Cricio Jones, vice secretary of the Urban League. Round Table Talks There were six round table discussions relative to the problems encountered by the local secretary, the public, and the interactive to the general public, of the most inestable value to the men, who are working in these problems each day Tuesday, 5 P. M., Dead Line Lover Hurls Lighted Lamp in Jealous Rage and Leaves Flaming Girl to Her Fate With All Her Clothes Burned Away Body of Girl Found In Street by Officers The green eyed monster took awful toll here Sunday night when Wife Anne Waters, Greenwillow street, was burned to death as the result of a fight between rivals in which a lighted lamp was hurled, which see her clothes on fire. The altercation which resulted in her death took place at the home of George Lee and Charles Golds- borough, 625 Numsen street, and was precipitated when the men quarrel- ed over the young woman. In Jealous Rage According to testimony given at the hearing, Miss Clemens visited the home of the men Sunday night, when she met with the young woman, contended for the honor of entertaining her. When she failed to settle the question, she was alleged to have graved a lighted lamp and hurled it at his rival; instead of finding its mark the lamp was broken. Immediately she was in flames and the men fed from the place, leaving her to her fate. Some time later she was found in the street with her practically burned from her body. She died later at the University Hospital, where officers rushed her to the hospital, holding her for the action of the Grand Jury charged with causing her death. BOY USES GUN IN CHURCHYARD FIGHT Ernest Henson, 203 Harlem avenue, was shot in the head by William Barnes when they, with other boys, were arguing over a basketball game at the head of St. Barnabas Church Monday. One of the boys ran in and reported to Father Kern that Barnes Henson, Father Kern pleaded with the boy, to give up the gun, which the latter refused to do. When the father turned to call an officer, Barnes was shot. One of which took effect, causing a bad flesh wound. Barnes, who is 18 lives at 916 Cincinnati, and was fired in 1916 in the Northwestern Police Station Wednesday morning, after Henson was released from the hospital. Henson is 16 years of age. There was also an extremely interesting luncheon conference held at the Phillips Wheatey Amex at which Edgar E. Adams, vice president of the hospital, spoke on "Experiences With Negro Labor." Both white and colored were present at all sessions. The event was held at St. Louis next fall. Boston and New York also extended invitations.

MAY GRANT A PAROLE TO CHAS. URBAN Governor May Decide To Free Former Policeman By Christmas. Officer Convicted of Murdering C. F. Williams At Latter's Home. Charles F. Urban, white, former patrolman, who on Sunday, October 23, 1291, shot to death Charles F. Williams, in the latter's home at 921 Chapel street, and who was sentenced to five years in the penitentiary, may walk out a free man before Christmas, and after serving two years of his term. "This was made public this week in a statement to the AFRO from Governor Albert Ritchie. Who may recommend his being paroled December, Governor Ritchie's letter follows: Governor's Statement "After careful consideration, I asked Urban for parole on December 20th. As you wrote me about this case on Monday, Urban gave you my permission for doing so. "There is simple evidence to show that Urban was the officer who killed Officer Urban while he was in the performance of his duties, and that he was answering a call for help, where Urban knocked at the door and Williams opened the door, and when Urban stepped, and when he was up, kicked at him again, and then knocked at the door, where, apparently, he was reaching in his pocket for a pistol, and that shot under these stances. It seems to me that he should be credited with murder in the second degree. As you see, extinguishing, that judge Duncan gave a sentence of five years. "The parole is recommended not to be released and Colonel Swereny, but also by Judge Duncan, who tried the case. Leonard Weinberg, who prosecuted Mr. Duncan, is the Attorney's office, by General Gatherer, who made an independent investigation of the number of representative citizens. He has now served slightly over two years in the Penitentiary, and feel that he should be paroled." Recalls Noted Case The paroling of former officer Urban recall one of the most noted figures in the Civil War, Urban killed Williams while in civilian clothes on Sunday afternoon following a shooting at a shackalak, relative who lived across the street from Williams and whom, testimony showed, comrade William, a photograph disturbed him and his family. After a change of venue from the local courts to the Baltimore County courthouse, the jury convicted of murder in the second degree, the jury standing at the beginning of deliberations, one for first degree, one for second degree and one for manslaughter. The Deciding Testimony The testimony on which Urban was convicted by the Towson jury was substantially as follows: On the afternoon of the killing Urban visited the home of the man who lived across the street from the Williams' home, Feelings between the Marshalex and Williams families had not been friendly. After appending more than an hour at the Marshalex home, Urban emerged from the cellar door and went across the street to the Williams' home. He rapped and at first there was no response. But again, after what was came to the end, What was said is not known, but Williams closed his door in Ur- Flapper Reporter Sees Things On Pennsylvania Avenue Dear Lil: A couple nights ago I decided to take in a few arrests in the evening. First, I shall tell you about Pennsylvania. I shall tell you about Pennsylvania Avenue is the business section for our people. That is, most everything that parks over an hour on this street is either Negro or White. Now what did I see? Well I saw sheeks first, that is quite natural, seeing the yellow, brown, browner, brownest and bluest of colors incased in so many varieties of styles from these modified sacks to pinch backs and monkey backs. Of them were wig various styles of hand painted dolls, while others were in gamps, without ladies. These, minus ladies, were making more noise than an airplane in a still room. Now it is a known fact that some folks can't control themselves out in public, or any other place that for them used to try and say it was not so, but while I was on Pennsylvania Avenue there was a wild unclevized, savage yellow. One of the doors, came a man, making the corner in nothing POLICE RESCUE MAN FROM IRATE HUSBAND POLICE RESCUE MAN FROM IRATE HUSBAND Came Home and Found Brother-In-Law Attempting Assault Upon Wife *Charged with attempting to assasinate Frank Lee, N. Carolina street, and with assaulting her husband when he interfered, Frank Lee, brother-in-law of the former, was sentenced to $50 and the Eastern Police Station Friday. When King came home he found mr. Skipping struggling to free her, and when he attempted to interfere Lee turned upon him. But for the timely arrival of officers in the vicinity, a more serious outcome would be taken, the officers, according to the officers. Mrs. Mary Lee, wife of the sentenced man, came to the Eastern street with three small children left destitute by the predicament of Lee. She stated that without the support or her husband they would suffer and their wives were made for their maintenance. CLINIC FOR GOLDS; CHEST DISEASES A new type of clinic for the special purpose of providing instruction to colored physicians, was opened at Hospital, 413 W. Biddel street by the Maryland Tuberculosis Association. The clinic will be open daily from 10 to 12 a.m. It will be in charge of Dr. S. M. Mulligan, the late from Tuberculosis Dispensary, with the assistance of six colored physicians, designated by the local colored medical society. The clinic is another effort to decrease the rate from respiratory diseases, which statistics show to be more prevalent among colored people. Free treatment for those suffering from any form of cold or chest condition, is given. ben's face. At this time Urban drew his revolver and fired through the door. Pushing his way in he fired three to five shots in him taking effect and killing Williams. Makes Report Officer Daniel H. Parlett, who arrested Urbanized testified that the Williams home to investigate a bootlegging charge. A written report to the department also made the same statement. Following a conference with his attorney, Harry Wolfe, he later stated that he heard cries of "help" coming from the home and went to Mrs. Hattie L. Reese, white, who lived near the Williams home, testified that there were no sounds of fire and that he reached the places and heard the shots. The door with the bullet hole was produced in court and the presiding judge, in delivering his sentence, said that he was ignoring that the evidence would be different from what it was.

This man is an ex-soldier and has many friends. As a joke that lets him out of most of his faults. But you know you can usually talk about how much is in a man's head or how much is in a woman's head empty headed from his conversation. He is one of these kind that say many words above the hearer's head. In purely flapper words he seemingly comes to come in take her out. We have just such a girl in our house. Honey, she waits, sighs and even cries a little for one man, can you beat it? She says it makes him angry to wait, as if any man is too good to wait on woman.

WHO WILL VOLUNTEER TO SAVE THIS GIRL WHO WILL VOLUNTEER TO SAVE THIS GIRL Miss Pearl Statten, 530 Dolphin street, will probably die unless one volunteers to supply a small amount of blood. Officials of the West Baltimore General Hospital have asked the APRO-AMERICAN to help them find some one who will volunteer to give a blood transfusion to save the young woman's life. Miss Statten is 20 years of age and has had to undergo an operation from which she has suffered an unusual loss of blood. Parties that provide volunteer to help save her life are asked to get in touch with this paper immediately or attendants at the hospital. The supply needed will have no practical effect on the volunteer but may save a human life.

Heard and Seen In Baltimore Heard and Seen In Baltimore We are rapidly approaching that happy festive season known as Christmas, called Xmas for short. We don't know what the X is standing for. Expectations of what we are going to get. And then, it could stand for our Xpenses. Speaking about expenses, Xmas is one time of the year, when that's what we don't have to do nothing else, but. We don't know who "Christmas is the Happiest Day in the Year," but we'll bet he was the same bird who babbled "ITS GREAT TO BE MARRIED." But that was sold before Prohibition and maybe Xmas was a Happy day then. Our Grandfathers used to wake up the morning after the Christmas Day of Boo-legging, you are MIGHY lucky if you wake up at all. The Department stores urge us to do our Christmas shopping early, then the clerks will have more time to sell you something you don't want. Goods they can't sell at 60c. they mark it up and they can't accommodate the RUSH. The trouble with shopping early is that you have to hide the presents, that's to keep the folks from seeing you and then back them back. This hiding business is dangerous anyway; we know one guy who hid his presents so effectively last year that he hasn't been able to find them yet. One good result in hiding presents is, it teaches children to be good people. Kimus morning, when the truth is, they knew what they were going to get better than you did. They say curious killed the cat, well it is a good thing if they are not Cats around Christmas time. A lot of folks call it HAPPY YULE TIDE, they mean by that, they would be happy if you give them this or if you'll give them that. One guy fine intended to give his wife a Christmas gift, but they caught him before he could get it out of the store. Another bird had his eye on a handsome wrist watch, but the salesman saw him looking and moved it. A certain dame asked her husband to give her something she would never forget. He gave her a sock in the jaw. Last year a local "tailor" gave her "lounge贮箱" a tuck of soap. He got very sore, he said he couldn't see why people didn't give presents that would be useful. To add to our troubles the Government "mailing" mail too. Then your parcels will have more time to get lost. They hire a lot of extra clerks to help with the losing. The only things that are delivered promptly are your bills. But you needn't worry about the money since the time you out of ten, by the time you pay the presents, you won't have any money left to do any mailing with anyhow. Your friends will have to get their presents the best way they can. The women are kept busy this time of year making out their list of who they want, and the men are a happy time for females, it gives them a chance to get even for all the mean things they have done to each other.

Helpful Hints Toasted Bread for Dressings It is a great way to dress up meat dressings and find it delicious and much lighter than untoasted bread. It is essentially good for thick and turkey dressings. --- A good way to clean the mica or isi- glass in a stove that has become black- ened by smoke is to take it out and wash it with vinegar. Labor Sayer My pet household is washing windows with a chamois skin. Buy a good chamois skin about 1/4 inch thick, and water to which a small quantity of household ammonia has been added, rub the windows thoroughly. By wringing the chamois skin with a damp cloth, the drying, and there will be no lint or streaks left. This method saves much rubbing and the windows look better than when -washed any other --- when adding sugar and butter, or when shortening, add a few tablespoons of boiling water, and the mixture can be beaten to a smooth cream quickly. How To Scale Fish Scalling fish has always been a slow and disagreeable task for me. Some folk skin them, but this is the most difficult task. Take a stick of the proper size and strength, sharpen it and insert it in the mouth of the fish and run it down into the body. This works well, but a new curry concoction, or a grater is good, and scrape the scales toward you while holding the stick with the fish on it in the other hand.

He had satisfied himself, however, that this was the same youth he had seen in court. To confirm his conclusion he turned to Professor Armstrong, "That's the same young man?" he asked. Professor Armstrong replied in the affirmative by nodding his head. He more or less kissed his face closed in about the group. Exultant, blood-hungry yells, menacing and terrible rang in the prisoner's ears. Flery eyes now glanced at him. Flery eyes now glanced at him. Hands seeming like long bony talons seemed to reach for his throat. "Get a rope-Get a torch-Get a lighted knot." were directions shouted. Dr. Tansley would stand in the courthouse near which he stood, looked over the mady yelling crowd which was fast getting from under control of the leaders. "Men," he shouted. For a moment his voice attracted them and there was a hush. He sized the advantage, "That man is innocent," he shouted. "The devil he is. We know. The papers told the story. We know." They shouted him down before he tried to shout out the huntsman shouted at the top of his lungs. They paid no heed to him. "Lynch him. Lynch him." shouted a hundred times, the dog he is." shouted others. The crowd had now become one struggling, seething much. Men with ropes had arrived, insulting the crowd, raging group sprang Dr. Tansey, revolver drawn. Professor Armstrong, now having concluded to help the youth followed the crowd, laying the side of the youth. A dozen hands were reaching for the rope which was now about the young man's neck, eager to swing him into eternity. Four hands "Don't smoke that rope," commanded Dr. Tansey, his eyes blazing his revolver drawn. The action was manned by a soldier men drew back for a second. Other hands, however, grabbed the rope. Recovering from their surprise the four men rained blows on Dr. Tansey, unarmed. The soldier suddenly clutched the trigger of his revolver. As he shot, the body of the boy was pulled high into the air. A hundred shots rang out and the body suddenly clutched the trigger of his revolver. While they were shooting the body full of bullets, four men were beating Dr. Tansey to the ground. Professor Armstrong grabbed the body and bowed back. The mob was blood-mad but now and cared not whom it seized. Professor Armstrong was now fighting to save his friend, pretending to be dead and forth from the limb of the tree, neck broken and life gone. He was just in time to drag the sinking body of Dr. Tansey to safety when he heard a screeching and screaming on Professor Armstrong paused in the act of laying the body of Dr. Tanssey on the ground to see what he had missed himself, an unearthly weird and mountful screech greeted his ears. "Save me! Save me!" screamed a woman's voice. It was Miaille Foucart, the father of young childbirth, could not rest at home, feeling that some awesome thing was the fall at some distance, she paused happening. Following the crowd from the courtyard to witness the lynching and had been discovered by some of the mob. "Here's another nigger," they shouted to her her, Lynching the minx before she gave birth to another brute, they should not her condition. Professor Armstrong saw the wild lover of girl's life but recognized who she was. "By God, they'll never do that menstruous thing" he murured. "Save me. Somebody save me. I said done nothing." Help! Save me! "I'm coming, Mullie," Professor Armstrong answered as he plunged fighting now like a demon, into the mob. He was shooting as soon as he could not to see whether they were dead or only wounded. His revolver, however, was soon emptied. He struggled, on using the weapon as a club. He reached the girl but before he could lay a hand on her, he ran away and he was knocked unconscious. Up her body was jerked with a snap that broke the spinal cord with By JOSHUA HENRY JONES a loud noise. Those who had been fighting a Professor Armstrong, now madly called for a rope for him. He was still unconscious from the blow when a rope was pulled about his neck and about to be thrown over a limb also. In that moment, however, one of the leaders cuffed the men who were pulling the rope. That's a white man. Durn you. Don't you see." He swung his fists right and left, at the same time repeating, "That's a white man. That's a white man." His blows and his words finally penetrated into the brains of the attackers and they allowed the rope to be pulled down from the limb of the tree. The man who rescued Professor Armstrong, carried him along up the courthouse steps and into the corridor of the building. There he left the unconscious form and again joined the mob which had by now lost all semblance of sense. They were tramping all over the spot, pushing, justing and fighting. As they swayed, a hundred feet passed over the body of Dr. Tansey, where he lay unconscious on the ground, crushing the remaining life out of his body. "Burn the niggers out. Burn the niggers out. Kill 'em all," shouted the mob as they ran cheering and screaming, from the courtyard. Across the city owed to the same unknown circumcasion came the mad loom, now hundreds extinguished. Toward the seentances all the lights in the district strong. As the outskirts of the city trilled, the dawn dwellings, mere shacks and shanties, were being touched the police seemed to have now awakened to the 'situation. The sheriff, when overpowered and his man meditated calmly in the Mayor, this way. He then telegrammed to Columbia, the state capital, for aid. The Governor had ordered the nearest troops to the scene. The police were battling half hour after the mob and Negroes were here and there for shelter from their burning homes. As they ran those in front of the mob, by the light of the burning buildings were shooting at them. Luckily no one Suddenly from one of the shacks there burst a small mountain of flame, shooting high into the air and close to the front fringe of the mob. Kae-lene shouted, "Wow, we were issued along." "Gasoline," this had the effect of aaving the crowd and before they could recover the police seized the opportunity and drove them back still further. The plosion seemed the crowd and the police long before the police persuaded them to retine. This gasoline storage was the first barrier reared by the Negroes to protect their property. A little further in where the better number of them were located, the number of them had gathered determined to sell their souls and their property as great a cost to the attackers as possible. A race was impended. Luckily the inspiration gasoline warning had suffaced to the crowd and they were slowly dis- Back in the courthouse Professor Armstrong awoke to consciousness to find a death-line. He felt at his side a cold wall. He tried to think where he was, finally recalling the mob and its struggle. From his proximity to the wall he thought he was dead, but his lameness left for dead. He felt above him but could touch nothing. He reached to his other side and touched only empty space. He touched his hands and knees then decided to follow the wall to its end. He brot up against a blank wall as he went forward. He decided to walk to the wall, his hands came in contact with a rope. He dropped it with a shiver. 'After crawling some distance he detected a streak of light. Coming to this point, he taking himself to a standing position he touched a knob turned it and opened the door. The glare of the street light dazzled him for a moment. He blinked then A cold shiver ran up and down his spine as he looked down and saw the rope, stretching from his body to his head. He suddenly remembered all then. "My God, what a narrow escape!" he explained. "Great God! And to think that this is America! And to think that his eyes to the left but turned them quickly away sickened at the view. The two bodies that of the hoy and his sister, still swearing at him, his knees sagging. He recovered himself, shortly. Then that: "Where's Dr. Tansey" With the question he recalled with vividness the lighting and the fact that he had borne the stumped body of the poor courthouse. He turned his face in that direction then fainted dead away. Dr. Tansey's body lay stretched out, the clothing a mass of rags and tatters. All the people he touched in gore, with the trampling of many feet—an horrible sight. The view overwhelmed him—sickened him. The horrible truth of the gruesome tragedy enveloped him in a swampy sank to a sitting position on the steps, his head cupped in his hands. He was too dazed and misery-streken to think for a time. All he could see was the wretchedly mangled body of the man. A great pain gnawed with slow agony at his heart. He wanted to weep but tears would not come; then this deadly hurtful pain in his breast and the horrible picture of the past for themselves into his consciousness. For many minutes he sat mute, no sign of activity about him save the slight ruffling in his hair, and not look up, for even at the suggestion of the lift of his head, there flashed before his mind the aweful lifesaving help, without seeing them he knew they were there—and one was a woman; a woman who had grown up with him and though of him he knew that he had days been friend and playmate. "Oh God!" he grenaded, his head still in his hands. "I'll go mad—mad—mad. Take the sight from me. Take the touch from me. Take the bruising, ropes or swaying limbs. With the plea his hand swayed in the general direction of the bodies though his eyes were still closed. At last he was able to grip the rubbed against his knee and across the back of the hand which still held his chin. He opened his eyes only to see the rope by which he also had nearly been snatched before his Maker was still about his neck. He shuddered and trembled like the leaves about him. His brain was still shuddering. An unhurried stiffness pervaded the cottard and the entire square. He lost complete idea of time and knew not how long he sat in that position till the bell in the tail steeple of the white church at the headlight night hour. The slow ponderous strokes added to the wretched of the situation. Professor Armstrong staggered to his feet, opened his eyes then quickly covered them again as if to see what was so indelibly burned on his mind hat even with eyes shut the cadaverously stretched bodies and their ghastly swaying were as vivid to him as if the bright sun of daylight was shining upon them. After a few minutes' struggle he mastered it, and then he opened his hat. He started down the steps, the rope pulling behind him. Frantically, fear in his heart, he gripped and snatched it from about his neck and hurled it from him where it fell on down the steps and started for his hotel. The exertion was too much for him, darkness came to his widely staring eyes and oblivion into his mind. The last conscious moment he recalled afterward was an impression he had seen and then prefaced—falling—failing. CHAPTER XXV It was long after daybreak when the police relaxed their vigilance in guarding the Negro district. There were still smouldering flames in the courtyard, but in burned. Despite the fact that all seemed quiet and as if nothing had occurred, those of the colored population who usually were as late before hour and in burned, however, took their places of work, refused to leave their homes. In the downtown section, not a Negro could be seen and the whites began to awake to the awfulness of the situation. Like a bad conscience among inmates in the prison of remorse in some, most of those who had taken part in the mob, however, and their friends began to visit the scene of their disobloquial outbreak, even though they were not ever. They were promoted by sheer curiosity. The newspapers carried stories of the night's work but not the whole story. Dr. Tansley or Professor Armstrong. The parts they played came out later.

Faculty officers also point out that administrative officers are higher paid than professors. The alumni association have been split into two factions. Alumni in favor of the plan declare an end to the striking out of appropriations for the university on points of disliking the annual appropriations. Opponents of the measure declare that governmental institutions are in the initialization of the institution. They advocate that the university be removed entirely from control of the institution, pendent, financially, supported by its alumni, even though this may necessitate a reduction in the size of the institution.

ORDER YOURS NOW We have only a Limited Number Send Money Order Check or Stamps with Order --- The Bill WASHINGTON, THE NATIONAL CAPITOL RACE WATCHES THREE OF BILLS IN CONGRESS Washington, D. C., Dec. 8. The second session of the Ski-leg-eight Congress, which began yesterday and ends on March 4, next, will consider three bills of importance primarily to Negroes. They are the second deficiency appropriation bill the President Antifreeze Bill and the Foster bill, a Negro industrial commission. They are part of the unfinished business which came over from the last session of Congress. $50,000 for BEACH The second deficiency appropriation the sum of $50,000 for the construction bill contains a section appropriation and a section appropriation and bath house for the colored population of Washington. It also makes available the unexpended balance of the appropriation for this purpose, which in the District of Columbia appropriated for the fiscal years of 1923 and 1924. It is not likely that any action will be taken on either the Dyer Antilynching Bill of the House or the judicial commission. This session of Congress is expected to devote its time to the passage of appropriation and support to president Obama, who turned thumbs in general legislation at this session. The second deficiency appropriation bill, however, will be one of the occasions upon which action will be taken. This bill passed both the Senate and House during the last session and was sent to conference on Friday before the session adjourned.

Carver, famous Tuskegue scientist and author of New York recently that he had been able to make hundreds of chemical inventions thru divine inspiration, he did not have the place of books. Soaked in his working apron in his laboratory, Dr. Carver looked the part of a man with a smile with the Spingar medal and who has just been recently been made a fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine with the credit hundreds of processes by which such articles as paint, flour, medicine, milk and the like are made from the peanut and potato. The More Information More Inspiration Dr. Carver told the AFRO today that one newspaper called that he scorned books and was not interested in what other chemists are doing. The great scientist labelled these reports of his Especially did Dr. Carver take exeption to the report and editorial in the New York Times on his hand and sent him letters they had written to the Times telling how unfair the report was. He gave the AFRO a copy of the letter he him wrote the Times in part as follows: "I regret exceeding that such a gross misunderstanding should arise as to what was meant by his intention to write the letter is never at variance with information; in fact, the more information one has, the greater the misunderstanding." "Trust, the great scholar, says." Second Timothy, 2-15. "Study to show myself approving unto God a workman's skill to teach him to shameless, rightly dividing the word of truth." "Again he says in Galatians 1-12: 'For I neither received it of my mother was aware of it by the revelation of Jesus Christ.'" "Many, many other equally strong passages, begged, but are sufficient to form a base around which to cluster my remarks. In the first verse, I have followed and am following the first word study." "I am a graduate of the Iowa State College of Agriculture and Forestry in Iowa, taking two degrees in Scientific Agriculture.

More Inspiration Finished Iowa State tion Does Not face of Books,"" Tells The Afro hares N. Y. Newspapers Recent Address. Says t Destroy Religion "In evolving new creations, I am wondering of what value a book is. It is not a master of analytical work, both qualitative and quantitative, nor a need for the book from which to get his analytical methods, the master's tools, the book; or to liberty to take apart and put together substances, compatible or non-compatible to suit his own particular needs." Cites An Example "While in your beautiful city, I was struck with the large number of Taros and Yukas distractions; kets; they are edible roots imported to this country largely from Trinidad. Porto, Chile, China, Dutch Guiana, and saw these luxurious roots. I marveled at the wonderful possibilities for their expansion. Dozens of things are now looking at them. I would follow the same or similar lines I have pursued in developing products from the white potato. I have worked with these roots in this way. I know of no book from which I can get this information, I will have no trouble in doing it. "If this is not inspiration and greatness, then myself, or greater than any one hits wrought up to the present time, kindly tell me "Science is simply the truth about anything." Science Does Not Destroy Religion I yet believe my friend, that if scientists believe more in God, many, many more things happen. "Why destroy our religion I fully believe in and try to live up to Prov. 2:8: 'In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.' Believe God Very intelligent people now believe in a God and Divine inspiration. It is amazing the letters, pamphlets, books, etc., on that subject that have been and are being taught that I am not alone in this. The only American music (so said) our music is said to be inspired by God. May God deepen and strengthen our religion as a race rather than destroy it. "Results count, here are the things before their very eyes. May God beat it or even duplicate it." FEDERAL COUNCIL HITS AT PREJUDICE Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 11—An effort to army world-wide sentiment against the prejudice has been undertaken by the NAACP, which is meeting here today in its 5th quadrennial session. The NAACP, anti-Jewish prejudice, discrimination against the Negro and other racial "sore spots" were openly attacked by leading delegates, and conferences and speech making. Representatives of twenty-eight black businesses of the membership of 20,000,000 and many foreign "voters" attended the opening of the conclave, regarded by many church the greatest religious gathering in years.

Arnold There are two distinct and potent factors in the great game of advertising, that the wise merchant considers. The merchant who buys space, does not consider a newspaper with a circulation disseminated in every section from the same standpoint, as he buys space in a newspaper with a congested circulation. That's why but few colored papers are able to carry class A advertisements, in their columns. The business houses been selected by Big business houses in Baltimore, as the medium thru which colored papers can be logically reached. has set a pace unequally in the annual sales of the company, a congested circulation that goes into the homes of the colored people in Maryland. Its pilling power has been determined to the half of one per cent of its readers giving the advertiser their trade. If a newspaper has a circulation that reaches a million weekly, that means it is the largest of the mathematical figures of National advertisers, must give five thousand in order to verify its circulation. Two weeks ago, the two carried the newspaper on the side of a pipeless furnace in a space of 70 lines, two columns a hundred forty lines not. The owner of the concern did not want to be out of business out of this particular ad. To ask us he satisfied, would be out of the question. A satisfied advertiser always heralds the news to other business houses and more business for your publication is assured. The two distinct and potent factors in the life of a newspaper is not the ability to publish, but the ability to territory, which it covers, is to the ADVERTISER, and will the prospect take a chance on buying goods from an advertiser at a distant location. If such goods can be bought in proximity to the home of the publisher. FOR SALE Enrich your Masonic knowledge- $1.00 brings the Masonic Magazine to you every month. Months. Address.
