REFUSES $1000 FOR LOST ARM RADIO BURNED Servant Who Wiped Under Piano With Wax Cloth Is Badly Burned. ARM IS BURNED TO THE BONE Empolyer and Electric Company Make $1,000 Offer But Are Turned Down. New York City, Dec. 17. In a most tragic way Miss Myrtle Washington, of Richmond, Va., was burned about her limbs quite badly by a radio wire while doing day work in the home of Mrs. Hocktman, white, 152 Burnside avenue, the Bronx. The girl, was wiping up the floor with a cloth saturated with Johnson's Floor Wax. Upon reaching under the piano, her cloth came in contact with a naked wire. Almost instantly there was a loud report of the piano which all pulses consumed her. The lower portion of her left arm, which the physician fears she will lose, was burned to the bone. Her mother, Mrs. Hocktman, did not offer any assistance. In fact they paid little or no attention to the wounded girl. Later a letter from the law firm of Watts and one brother, the family, curried up $1,000 to the colored girl, which her lawyers would not allow her to accept. Later the American Electrical Company agreed that her lawyer would be given a stand. An additional offer was made. This too was rejected. The wires had evidently been installed by ignorant hands as there were places enough to start a real big fire. Miss Washington is a prominent member of the rising Mt. Zion Baptist Church of Fulton, Richmond, Va., of which the Rev. Archie Furgerson drives. Dr. J. B. Ridgesey of 2703 Marlon avenue is the attending physician. HOWARD U.

A mystery bullet from the gun of some hand unknown was introduced into the trial of two State policemen; charged with shooting to death of George Weems, an innocent man, at Mirkuirk, on the night of October 10, when the defense witnesses went on the stand at Maribor Monday. This evidence was introduced by State policeman Edward Scanlin, following evidence produced by the State to show that Weems came to the warring officers from the back of the head when he ran from Scanlin as the latter, dressed in plain clothes, flashed, a light in the face and leveled a gun at him as the warring officers the village on that fatal night. Killed Innocent Man According to the story of the killing as carefully unwoven by evidence brought out on State attorney Alan Boughton, Upper Uppsala's chief of the killing of Weems was one of the most tragic police mistakes in the history of the State constabulary. Of Laurel, one of the men Boender, of the killing, a severance when the case went to trial, and testified for the State, and gave the following account: On the night of October 10, following a call to the sub-station at Laurel that Edward Brooks had shot his wife, State officers George Gearh and Edward Scanlin, and Edward Scanlin and Boender, secured a warrant and went in search of Brooks. He was not at home, but was found at the house he might be found at the house of the Hagens, who lived in a building formerly used as a church in Muirkirik, on reading the Hagens home Boender and Corporal Gearh went inside, while officers O'Lexey and Scanlin went down either side of the house. Suddenly he heard three shots and the body was found in the house to the direction of the other officers, they found them standing over the body of Weems. The police, said he examined the body and stated to the men that they had the wrong man. To this Scanlin replied, "If that is the case, we have made a bad mistake." Left Dead Man Scanlin and O'Lexey, according to Boender, left for Laurel to get a coroner but when they did not return, he went to bed. Dr. George Smith went to Murlkirk, stated that when he reached the body all of the officers had gone.

PARTY BACKS WHITE HOUSE National Republican' Asks Congress To Pass Honest Election Bill. Raleigh, N. C., Dec. 19. —President Coolidge's message to Congress in which he came out for a form of southern election laws has roiled the South. Nothing since the recent election has made the issues of the politicians which are wagging increasingly. The daily press says the President is trying to discipline them. President Coolidge in his message said, "I am of the opinion that the national laws governing the choice of members of the press are not intended to include appropriate representation of the respective parties at the ballot box and equality of representation on the various registration boards, wherever they G. O. P. Weekly Backs Coolidge: As if this were not enough the National Republican, public school board, and the Senate only backed up the President but had as its leading editorial a call on Congress to pass a bill which would enforce honesty in the government. It added comments on the Constitution to take cognizance of restriction of suffrage by reducing the representation of any state in Congress and the electoral college in proportion to the number of citizens incapable of self-government. "The time will, doubtless come when Congress will have, the courage to carry out the mandatory provision of the Constitution against the creation of American rotten boroughs." Charges Discrimination Further the editorial says that "in a number of states there is no actual representation of any but the domestically elected election boards," and that "if there are Republicans they are of Democratic choosing," going on to declare that "the Republican party is registering Democrats, while absenting themselves from their homes and offices in order to prevent Republicans from being the veriest Democratic ignorant can pass the tests necessary to registration, while a Republican college student can successfully undergo the examination by literate registrars." This "wholesale disfranchisement as the National Republican College" is "national scandal" and then after bering Virgins for the number of votes cast; the recent Republican matter "ought to be put largely up to Congress."

In one sat a visiting chief of perhaps fifty years in a derby hat and jacket, a young wife done in ebony and soft brown, whose liquid eyes could not meet ours. The chief was taciturn until we spoke of him, and suddenly we guarded he had children to "give" to a school. There was a pile of brown coffee heaped in the center of the village. They were plastering the wall of a home, leisurely and carefully. They amiled a goodbye—not effusively, but with a kind of friendship, as we glided under the cocoon trees and into the silent forest, the gold and silent forest. Primitive Men Ahead And there and elsewhere in two long months I began to learn: Primitive men frantically waving and seeking our goals; primitive men are not behind us in some swift foot-race. Primitive men are not behind us in a abreast, and in places ahead of us; in others behind. But in all their curving advance line is contemporaneous to procreate, and these paths have other men, and these paths have led them by scenes sometimes farer, sometimes uglier than ours, but always toward the Fools of Happily- Or, to put it otherwise, these folks have the leisure of true aristocracy have the leisure of true aristocracy have the leisure for sleep and laughter. They have time for their children—such well-trained, beautiful children. Have you ever met a crowd of children in the east of London or New York, or even on the street, and fled to avoid their impudence and utter ignorance of courtesy? Come to Africa and see well-trained and courteous children, family and never sniffing and whining. No Sexual License I have read everywhere that Africa means sexual license. Perhaps it does. Most folk who talk sex frantically have all the answers to their material! I was in West Africa only two months, but with both eyes wide. I saw children quite naked and women usually naked to the waist—women in this saxety days I saw less of sex dalliance and appeal than I see daily on Fifth avenue. This does not mean much, but it is an interesting fact. Not One Quarrel The most likely man is 'courteous' and dignified. If the platforms of Western cities had swarmed with humanity as I have seen, the platforms swarm in, Senegal, the police would have a busy time. I did not see any. Wherefore shall we all take to the Big Bush? No. I prefer New York. But my point is that New York and London and Paris must learn of West Africa and may learn. The one lack in Africa is communication. LIBERIA MAY DEPORT SYRIANS Monrovia, Liberia, Dec.—By A. N. P.)—A movement of much significance is now on here, combining the efforts of several Liberian, organizations to have the proper officials see to it that the Syrians now resident in this country are deported on the ground that they are undesirable aliens. There has been growing repugnance among the Liberians to the presence of the foreigners, finally culminated in representations being made to the authorities. The particular charges made against the Syrians are that they are cunning and unfair in business and make competition too rough for the Liberians. The Syrians first came to the country there were a number of Negroes in business, but that of the former merchants only one remains. They were "run out of gas" by the Syrians. It is also said that the Syrians are itty and have very low standards of living, and the government is reminded that it should take similar steps to those taken by the British Syrians were driven out of Sierra Leone. In 1914 there were 12 Syrians in Liberia. Now there are more than 100 Syrians in the country. The number may soon exceed a hundred unless an exclusion policy is adopted.

OPPOSE NEGRO AS REGISTER OF TREASURY Associated Negro Press Washington, D. C., Dec. 16—The best laid plans of mice and men gang aft agree." Such has been the case with the southern white man, who are now employed as chiefs, supervisors and clerks, at princely salaries in the office of the register of the U. S. Treasury in Washington, D. C., and who last week, held a large petition and protest in the Registry's building 118 D street, N. E., for the purpose of organizing their forces, pooling their senatorial influence, and sending a written petition and protest to prevent the appointment of any Negro as Register of the Treasury. The meeting, which was intended to be strictly private and secret, has proved otherwise, for several of those who attended "let the Several speeches were made at this meeting. One of the ring leaders is said to have urged every man and woman pressure all staff members at the secretaries at once and get them to do all in their power to block the confirmation of any Negro that President Coolidge may approve of the Treasury. It is also reliably stated that several hundred white employees in the Register's office have already signed a petition to President Coolidge, strongly protesting against the head of the office in which these Lilly Whites and hold-over democrats are employed. H. "Scheiman, is a Republican, has held office for a number of years and meanwhile has suffered a stroke of paralysis some time ago. It is understood that these southern white democratic underlings are back in office, and that than have a Negro as head of "their" office. It is safe to bet that the real man, President Coolidge, who is now in the White House, and who will be in charge of this attempt on the part of government clerks and subordinates who have the bold affrontery to try and resist the making of formal appointments. Henderson Refereed When Atlanta Broke Twenty-Year Jinx, Tells of Southern Tour BY E. B. HENDERSON D.C. Dirtball Athletics; D. C. Public Schools Washington, D. C., Dec. 19.—We may talk about our Lincoln vs. Howard games but, boys, the fur fries when the Morehouse Tigers grapple with the Gray Ghosts of Atlanta University. Most remarkable was the victory of 13 to 0 in favor of Atlanta University. This team has not defeated a Morehouse aggregation in 20 years, and it did this just week although it did not accomplish an earned first Coach Harvey's backfield, labeled the four horsemen, rode roughhousing over the A. U. eleven, but when riding meant scores the horses were evidently considered winning touchdowns more important than first downs so that when early in the third quarter one DeLorne converted a Moreau shortly after Green another of the Hurricane's tribe, outfaced the field for another touchdown from a mishap on the part of Moreau, Cochran, and if he had anything that might have registered first downs kept it tightly under cover. When the Tiger group got within scoring distance of the goal the boys from the eleven rode out and meant, "they shall not pass." Irving Shines Brightest among the luminaries of the day was Irving, a tough warrior called "Key West," playing tackle of Morehouse, a kicker who kicks kickers were forced to send their kicks off instanter with result that they were often blocked high or wide. The game ended with Morehouse, who pass formations, but in all but one case they terminated on the ground or in the hands of Atlanta's defense. Played in the pretest parade in Atlanta Sphinx Stadium, they attracted from all about Dixie. About a thousand fans of white lineage assembled to see the sons of the old play at the game John Brown of Rutgers and Ted Vanquished bore honore and humiliation seemingly. Dallies Cover Games It was a surprise to me to find that the Atlanta Journal, the Atlanta Constitution and the press of many southern plains gave lengthy accounts of the colorful football games of that vicinity. In the game between Morehouse College and Atlanta over the last season, leading sportsmen like Bobby Jones and the ex-Harvard player, Greer, said no better game had been seen in Big Spiller Park during the season. The game was charted and reported play by play by the reporters, and players were described and their athletic record noted. Why cannot Washington papers carry the dope of the players were described and their number one-third of the population of the city. On Thanksgiving day in Washington, more colored people than any other colored game has ever done, yet but little and sparse spots occurred in more than one plains in Washington. Frague we will happen eventually, I PRESIDENT KING OPENS NEW 30 MILE ROAD Monrovia, Liberia, Dec. 13.—With labor or ceremonies, President King opened the thirty mile road between Monrovia and White Plains roads. The building of this highway was started some six years ago under former President Howard and has just been completed. Apart from the foot paths which had been irregularly threading this portion of the country, guided for the most part by the numerous winding and decent roads which linked up Monrovia with Johnsonville and thence with White Plains. It was at this juncture that the Interior Road Staff and those accompanying it pleased result which President King and those accompanying him witnessed of a wide and well-land-out street uninterruptedly leading to the three halls made in the course of the journey the Ford cars, in which the Presidential party travelled, covered the whole distance in two hours. From White Plains, where some friends joined the entourage, the party continued on to Carlsburg, arriving there later.

Mr. Avery, vice president of the North Carolina Mutual, in an address, declared many colored people here formerly working in jantas where they formerly worked. predict that a better and more harmonious relation between this mass of citizens whose interest is in the city will be secured only thru proper newspaper recognition. At the Theatres In the cities of leading towns of Georgia, the Carolinas, and other classes of citizenship will be secured only thru proper newspaper recognition. In Washington, D. C., there are theatres which can attend theaters and witness theatrical productions. In Washington, D. C., there are theatres which can attend any and all parts of the theater. Films can be displayed in various movie houses; but the educational and entertainment productions are entirely lost to thousands of people who are citizens of Washington, but can be seen south. Why this situation exists in Washington, D. C., the capitol of the Nation where the colored citizenry has such a high degree of integration with the city we pride ourselves about. Tuskegee of Today Every little white and steadily we read of donations to Tuskegee and Hampton institutes. Very recently we received a $1,000,000 to Hampton and to Tuskegee. Effectually and not by any means slowly. Tuskegee and Hampton are building a satisfactory endowment and heads one to ask, how is it done? I've spent several days at these two institutions this fall and the answer to the above question is to such a visit. At Hampton under a corps of efficient white and colored teachers, nearly 1000 boys and girls are being educated in every sense of students and a full corps of colored workers hold forth. Every student at both institutions is being fitted to do some one job better than in the other. The students and a full corps of colored workers is being done. Although trained to be argiculturists, painters, mechanics or what not, many of these graduate students in and around Hampton fields totally unrelated to the work trained to do. Students, First Buildings To see the wonderful buildings constructed by student labor; to visit class after class and note the devoted attitude to study; to observe the students at play; and to hear and take part in the truly inspiring chapel service is worth going many miles. Administrators and teachers are handled. Co-educational social problems are ideally and socially satisfying to the student body. The football teams of the school well against contending hosts. Tuskegee was the undisputed southwestern champion. At this season, early December, the students were touched by our wintry blasts. Hampton's grass is still green. Beautiful shrubbery yet melows the building lines, while Tuskegee makes the ground in the midst of a beautiful syllum theater and listen to the music of a capable student band. To see and hear all of this art are seeing to it that these institutions shall not perish but shall live to continue to swell the flood of light strutting and encouraging and Booker T.

Lombardo loses the right to meet Danny Kramer, white, of Philadelphia, on January 2 for the featherweight championship of the world. Lombardo III According to reports from Lombardo's dressing room that reached the ringside after the fight, the Central American had a sick spell just before he started for the ring and it looked for a time as though the fight would have to be called off. Bob Levy, Lombardo's manager, called in a doctor, who gave the fighter treatment which enabled him to go on with his mission. But he did not Kid Kaplan put up the greatest fight of his career in defeating Lombardo. Floored In Fourth Lombardo, after being floored for the count of seven in the fourth round, came up superseded by through the ropes for the fatal count of ten. It was a series of vicious hooks to the jaw that spelled defeat for the Kanaimo boxer, and thirty-three seconds of the fourth round. As a result of his victory last night Kaplan had chance to win the featherweight tournament organized by the NRL and handed to Lombardo advanced in the tournament by beating Lou Paluso, while Kaplan made the grade by winning over Bob Garcia and 125, while Lombardo scaled 123% pounds. Only 4.500 Attendance The bout was fought before a surprisingly small crowd, the total attendance being 4,509. The fight was held so soon after the Gibbons-Norfolk battle was probabely responsible for the small attendance. Lombardo held up a great fight, but was no question of the superiority of Kaplan. Lombardo held the Meriden boy even in the first round, but after that it was all Kaplan. The fighters got away to a whirlwind start. It was a fast affair from the top of the first goall unlombardo was couned out with his kid in the taps of the ring of the ring. Kaplan in the early going seemed to the laboring under the impression that Lombardo was a mack. The bout had progressed with the kid, heute, the Meriden Kid and the Meriden Kid grand awakening. Lombardo, though flattened, demonstrated that he is a lad to be reckoned with. The Kid on senses (fins and rights) face in the first round had the fancy Kid from Meridowondering what it was all about, of these piston drives straight in the show, and blood in the blood. Kaplan's nausea. Kaplan Takes Lead It was in the second round that Kaplan began to come on, and from ten to the finish he won the corner ground and swarmed all over Lombard rushing him along the ropes and raking him with hard lets and fights with the defenders of fighting in the second round were filled with furious fighting. Kaplan took the third, and it became apparent that the corner Lombard was A series of sharp drives to the head, winding up with a wicked leap to the back, down for the count of seven in the fourth round. That was the beginning of the end. He staggaged to carry him to a clutch, but Kaptan, scouting victory, shook him to tore in with both hands. He raked Joseph's with rights and leets, and it was a short left-hand swipe that spilled the Panamanian ball with his head in the press stand until he was counted out. AMONG BOXERS Johnny Moseley, crack lightweight of Chester, Pa., injured his right hand in his bout with Connie Tait last Monday night and will not be able to box for two weeks.

How can you beat the Lions when they are brying for the balt. *Its killing in the face of defeat.* They have stopped me. Lanky swarms long; Tom Lee running interference or, goodman, the wrist body packed him. He hasn't got the ball though. Where is it. Here I am, behind a award's goal line with the elbow. The ear elbow loose again. Only One Good Knee Howard's line kinda week. "Big Bip" Brooks is not yellow after all. Miller is in there, fighting too. Great day! that boy is big. Look at Calloway, smiling. That baby sure is playing; only has one good knee and both ankles are bad. No wonder Buck O'Neil, Columbia's coach, calls him wonder baby, can't move him. Big Boy Morgan, can't he pass sweet. The backs are feeling mighty good with him in there passing the old pill. His side is hurt, too. Say! Dan Wilson has had a bad knee all season.

If I miss him the boys will say I did it on purpose because we are pals, it is hard enough to have, but I was scared to worry about what people say. Oh! that's right, he knocked me for a curve when I was almost loose. Whew! Look at him sidestep and dodge; he moves like an uncanny Friendship off now, jets my kid. Nearly Missed Him I missed him, no I didn't. my arm struck him. He fell, somebody's on him, heck heaves. Now he is taking the fight past him, they fly like bullets straight and true. "Charge in here, charge in there, lurry up the pass. You go," "Big Boy" (Morgan) intercepted a pass. Look at him travel. Oh, pshaw, "Deck" (McLean) is going after him. That boy won't miss him. He hit him light, but knocked him self-coo. I wonder what the birds are saying "Deck." Gee, I hope he comes out. He can argue and be out. His neck is still giving him trouble. He is coming back. "Game isn't he, Lions." I wish there were some way of losing him score and beaten, that sacred line, the. Too bad, old boy, better luck next year.

Basketball Then and Now after the ball has left the player's hand, the goal if made shall count. Now let us suppose a case to cover whole By W. A. MASON Physical Director M. M. C. A. In the case of a bird's view of the changes in basket-train motion, we made the render a bird's view of the changes in basket-train motion, and interpreted these changes. Suppose that in the case recorded above, Ward had violated the jumping rule and Allor received a field goal. The would not have counted. The goal would not have counted. Now is this true. Let us analyze the play. In the first place thought that violates the jumping rule; referee the ball and gains advantage (rule 14 c. 8). The referee blows the whistle as soon as Allor gets the ball, but by that time the ball is in the air. The goal was committed by the time Allor received the ball, that is, at the time the Scholastics gained the advantage, and the ball is given to the opponent. The goal was progressing in any direction while retaining possession of the ball. A player who is standing still, when he receives the ball, is not considered to be running with the ball if he pivots. After piv The careful reader has already gone to his rule book and studied them out, and he is now ready for a brief review. It is the writer's opinion that the most important book he found in rules seven, thirteen, fourteen and fifteen, fourteen and discuss rule fourteen first, because A. W. A. MASON it is a rule most easily violated, and the penalty may one insinuate in violation of the jumping rule. A player may not violate the jumping rule by moving the hand from its position before the ball has been tripped. The ball shall go to an opponent out of bounds, on the side, at the point nearest the space. If however, in spite of the violation the offended team gains the advantage, the officials are hereby given the authority to let the play continue. Let us now discuss the second sentence of the penalty, which gives the official authority to disregard the violation. Here is an ac $a$. If he is to start a dribble, the ball must leave his hands before the pivot foot (*stationary foot*) leaves the floor. If he is to pass or throw for goal he may lift the pivot foot or jump, but the ball must leave his hands before one or both feet again touch the floor. Due to the absence of a to be made for a player who catches the ball while running, provided in the judgement of the officials he stops and gets rid of the ball as soon as possible. Understand this rule is for the reader to actually practise it, by going through the pivot as he reads the rule. This section states what shall be done if the wrong player attempts to touch any other player (other than the one designated by the referee) attempts the throw, it shall not count if made, and whether made or missed, the ball shall be put in play at cen- In the Alco-Scholastic game played recently, Ward, center for the Scholastic, he removed his hand from his position before the ball had been tapped. He actually outjumped Fraser, his opponent, who upbraided him. Although Ward really outjumped Fraser and tapped the ball of Graves, forward and Captain for the Alcos, received the tap-off for the Fraser of the violation the offended team, in which this case was the Alcos, gained the advantage in that they received the tap-off for the Fraser of the violation the offended team. On the other hand, had the Scholastic received the tap-off, the violation should have been enforced. A player of the team regarding a player of the team throwing for goal, the ball shall be dead at the time the foul or violation is committed, and the goal is made upon 1. In his own goal zone, while he has possession of the ball. 2. Outside his own goal zone while in the act of throwing for goal. 3. Immediately after he has the ball, he throws it. Let us consider a double case covering No. 3.-Suppose A is guarding Forward B. Forward B slips away from and receives the ball, someone sees the ball and the ball sees that B is going to shoot rushes at him, and in an attempt to block the shot, hacks B. Just after the ball has been thrown, he would bind the ball forward would be awarded two free throws.

I think we can accept the figures as given out this year as being absolutely correct, because they were made from a turnstile count. I will also see that the facts we now have in hand show that few people are able to estimate the numbers in a crowd. It was perhaps a peculiar coincidence, that during the Mr. Nunn's tour of the Tribute, Mr. Nunn of the Courier and myself were standing on the side lines together. I asked Mr. Clark his opinion of the number of people present, and he said that less than 25,000. I said to him that my estimate was 15,000 as a maximum and one thousand less than this as minimum. Mr. Nunn concurred in my opinion. The only paper that has an estimate as low as 15,000. In our final accounting last year, we figured out more than 13,000 paid admissions. There were 1,000 people game center admissions in Washington this at least 1,000 who were admitted on passes and complimentaries, or a total of 14,000. I think a fair analysis of the facts will therefore provide people interested in the Park last year without pay for admission. PLAYED LAST GAME Lawrenceville, Va.

LAPPE AND ASSOCIATES Successful Established EDITOR'S NOTE—The Aro's estimate of attendance at the Thanksgiving Day game was 13,000. Unofficial figures as printed in the newspaper between 15,000 and 16,000, which indicates that the AFRO is not far off in judging crowds. To the Aro: Various newspapers which reported the recent Lincoln-Howard game gave estimates of attendance runging up to twenty-one thousand (31,000). I have not yet seen a copy of your paper, and do not know, therefore, what your estimate was. The New York World and the Washington Post both gave the number of twenty-eight thousand (28,000). A communication has just been received from Hon. Emmett J. Scott of Howard, which states that the unofficial attendance is in the neighborhood of fifteen thousand (15,000). This number is the number of all institutions, and there must have been in this, at least one thousand (1000), passes, complimentaries and other free admissions which would make a payout of twenty-eight thousand (14,000) or less. In the light of these facts, it does seem to me that it would be a matter of simple justice, since your paper was on the game last year and in making conspicuous the charges of dishonesty in connection therewith—that you would have been the same as last year, the same statements expressing your disloic in the attendance as indicated in the report coming from the Howard authorities, or the concern of the management of the last year were incorrect. This will certainly be regarded as a personal favor to those of us who complain to the management of the last year. I am asking this favor because all of the papers which I have seen, have undoubtedly the largest that has ever attended one of these games, and if the real attendance was below fifteen, there would have been considerable misrepresentation. MAKE NO MISTAKE No matter what anyone else has told you, SEE ME before you give up hope.

C. A. A. CHAMP Association Officials Meet at Lawrenceville and Award the Pennant ALL-AMERICAN TEAM PICKED Lincoln Places 6 Men, Hampton 2, Union 1, Shaw 1, Virginia Seminary 1 Lawrenceville, Va., Dec. 19. At the close of perhaps the most successful season of the Colored League Public Association in football, the official committee on championships and All-C. I. A. teams officially awards the championship in football for the 1924 season to Lincoln University. Much credit is due Coach Young, his assistants, and the squad of "Lincoln Lions" for the high, clean brand of football displayed during the entire season. Lincoln's record of this season is really very impressive. Of the six association games played Lincoln turned in decisive victories in five and a half games. Of the game with Virginia Union. Below is the final standing of the C. I. I. A. teams in 1924 competition. 1924 Record Won 5 lost Tied Lincoln 5 1 1000 Union 3 1 2 750 Union 4 1 2 600 Wa. Normal 2 2 2 500 Wa. Seminary 2 3 0 400 Wa.

All Collegiate Team In picking the All-C. I. I. A. team for 1924 football the committee finds that no simple task, as in the case of picking a champion, presents itself. With all the schools of the association turning out high school teams, the committee stood out what a difficult task the committee would have in picking an All-C. I. A. A. team. Under the system in vogue, however, where each coach of the association and the leading officials of this district submit a first and second team to the committee, the committee rates the men on the basis of points, the task solves itself into more or less of a routine job. Byrd Elected Captain F. A. Byrd, of Lincoln, the outstanding player of the year, is the only player receiving unanimous vote the coach offered to the three captains captain and halfback of the first team. The other positions were very closely contested, and in the final selection two teams of practically equal ability were picked. The two captains Lancaster of Lincoln, with 33 and 31 votes respectively, seemed to stand head and shoulders over the host of good ends on the different teams of the association. Crudup with his educated toe, was the only team to remain in the association. Corruthers, captain of Union, with 15 and Turner of V. N. I. with 14 votes both put up strong *games all season*, but could not quite match the steady yet important playing of the Lions' pair of ends. Gill and Lee Gill, of Shaw, with 26 votes and Lee, of Hampton, with 21 votes, get the call at the tackle positions on the first team. Both of these men were conspicuous throughout the whole season in their well-directed line play and all opponents speak with high respect of them. Barksdale, of Union College and Doe's College, with 15 points, both first-class tackles, had good seasons, but lack the support of the first two mentioned. Calloway Best Guard At guard there were several strong men all playing a high brand of football and to make a selection seems to work a hardship on some, but not all. They were Alexander, of Hampton, with 14 votes, however, make as good a pair as one could ask for. Coleman, of Hampton, with 13 and Ballard, of Hampton, with 8 votes, are deserved their position on one of the mythical teams. Morgan at Center At center several real star performers raised havoc with opposing teams, displaying in general the best brand of football ever seen at this position. Morgan, of Lincoln, with 28 and Rooks, of Shaw, with 14, are two of the best centers the Celtics have played. This year five real students of the gridiron had a real battle for top honors at the field general's position.

Don Julians Defeat Arrows In the semi-final the Don Julians defeated the Athenians Arrows by a score of 43-15. At the end of the first period the Sheiks were leading a 21 to 7 count. Wheedbee, of Virginia Seminary, with 26, and Jackson, of Union, with 16 votes, were two of the best men at the quarterback's position and should be given much credit for their high class contribution. Never before has there been such a wealth of high class backs. Speed, power and brains were displayed by more backs this year than ever. Under "Jazz" Byrd with 35 votes, Shields, of Union, with 27 votes, Goodman, of Lincoln, with 18 votes, being worked by the versatile Wheedbee. Who could ask for a more effective out-then Boffman, of Union, with 17, and Brown, of V. N. I. I., with 11 votes, being driven by the old master, Jackson.

He can beat Heavyweight Jack Dempsey in a contest of ten rounds. He gave me a fight I will never forget and showed me a lot of things about boxing I never knew before." Tiger Flowers has signified his desire to fight any man alive regardless of race, color, creed, or weight. Including Jack Dempsey, Harry Wills, or any of the others. He has met as many as three opponents in one night, stopping them all. He has never been defeated by any fighter where the fight went the limit. His string of straight victories covers a period of two years. Flowers is 29, and never boxed until he was 25. He is married and has one daughter, three years old. He is a native vegetarian and opposed to meat in any form.

In response to an article appearing in the AFRO-AMERICAN, November 29, telling how the Howard University Bisons got their new cognomen, the office was in receipt of a card this week from Clarence B. Curley, auditor of the N. C. Mutual Life Insurance Company, Durham, N. C., backing up the article published. A university news article gave the university credit for selecting the mascot. Coach Morrison. The AFR said Mr. Curley was instrumental in getting the athletic association of the school to adopt the buffalo in 1910, but the printer not having a cut of a buffalo used a bull instead. This was the beginning of the University cognomen. or Mr. Curley wrote, 'Mrs. Curley and I noticed the university news article to which you referred and recalled with just touch how soon our efforts were forgotten.

Bolden has been selected to head the Eastern League again we sincerely hope a better schedule will be gotten out the Baltimore Sox finished in second place and 18 games behind the scheduled 70. Thousands of fans believed if the Sox had finished their postponed games they would have led the Hilldale club. Hilldale played 69 games with an average of 681, while the Sox played 62 with an average of 634. Owners should be made to go thru with their scheduled games and failure to do so should incur a fine and forfeit the game. The Lincoln Giants refused to play in a lineup Sox during the last of the season it was said because the Sox would have won, throwing the Giants out of third place by putting the Bacharach Giants in third money. The New York Giants played only the weaker clubs and exhibition games. your team. It is hoped a better distribution of games will be had this year and the schedule carried through. Quite a few fight fans and writers are of the opinion that the New York State Boxing Commission has drawn the color line as far as title bouts are concerned. Harry Wills is the logical contender and a persistent challenger for the heavyweight championship. Wills some time ago, in accordance to the rules of the commission, made a challenge to Jack Dempsey and posted the required forfeit and Dempsey was ordered to fight Wills or be barred by New York State. In the face of this the commission has continued to declare titles, pick champions and stage tournaments. This rank discrimination against Harry Wills is apparent to every fight fan in the country and the public is insisting on this fight and not a one-sided affair like the commission is trying to foster, Wills vs. Gibbons. Wills has 35 pounds on Gibbons in weight and the winning of the fight would bring little honor to the Brown Panther, as he would have the better of the bout throughout. Some fair white writers have gone so far as to say that Wills should be elected champion by default in order to make Dempsey emerge from his retirement. Dempsey might even risk his new nose under those circumstances. PETER B.

Association Ruled Against Howard After the Hampton-Howard game, telegrams were sent to all members in the Association for an opinion on the case. There was an unanimous vote. Miller is ineligible. At this time Lincoln sent Howard a telegram stating unless Miller was withdrawn she would refuse to play the Thanksgiving game. Howard withdrew Miller, but contended that her position was justified and that she did it because she was unwilling to disappoint the thousands of fans she had arranged to attend: the game.

Watson, Successor, Given Three Year Contract as Football Coach Morrison Is Said To Have Mauled Players and Called Signals Washington, D. C., Dec. 15—At its meeting on last Thursday night, the Board of Athletic Control of Howard University elected Louis L. Watson, director of the department of physical education as football coach to succeed Dr. W. E. Morrison, whose one-year contract has expired. The contract between Mr. Watson and the Board of Athletic Control is for a period of three years. it is subject to approval by the executive committee of the Board of Trustees, but this will be done as a matter of course. The consideration involved not made public but it is understood that Mr. Watson will receive a substantial increase in salary. Mr. Morrison's contract was for one year. NUMBER FOR WATSON TRIUMPH FOR WATSON This action of the Board of Athletic Contro is a distinct triumph for Watson. He served as football coach in 1923. Howard did not lose a game and tied Lincoln 6-8. The gambling element, of which the school authorities have taken cognizance, was not satisfied with this result. The college fraternities, with which Morrison was a favorite, threw the full weight of the influence against the will of the position, at the expiration of his contract he was released. Morrison, who had coached in 1920, 1921 and 1922 was recalled. Watson is a Howard graduate of 1917. He was a captain in the army during the world war. He gained his football experience at Springfield College, Springfield, Mass., where he played in 1919 and 1920. He was an end and half back. He was a member of the track team and did not a race in his two-year member-ship. Morrison came to Howard as coach in 1920. That year Howard defeated Lincoln by the score of 42 to 0. But he was never able afterwards to send a team against Lincoln that returned victorious. His team lost in 1921 and 1922 by the score of 7 to 13 and 12 to 13 respectively. MANHANDLED PLAYERS The failure of Morrison is due in large measure to his system. He instilled fear into his players. An error of omission or commission generally resulted in the player being taken out of the game and manhandled by the coach other than the fielding team the gymnasium. He pointed for the game—the annual clash with Lincoln. He kept his plays under cover until then. He was the generalissimo. He ran the team from the sidelines. The quarterback was a mere automaton, whose duty was to bark out the signals to the team to get apprehension putting a play on the field. This system failed to produce a great Howard eleven. Morrison's football strategy failed him at the crucial moment. Thanksgiving Day, Howard was overwhelmingly defeated by Lincoln 31 to 0. This was the most humiliating defeat of any Howard eleven in history of the annual struggle until Morrison was regarded as a great coach. In the fall of 1921 Watson became coach at the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, at Petersburg, Va. He had great success and attracted the attention of the Howard University athletic authorities. In January, 1923, he came to Howard as football coach under a one-year contract. At the expiration of this contract he was retained as director of the department of physical education. WORKINGMEN!

To Give $50,000 To Match Contributions From Citizens Washington, D. C., Dec. 19— Trustees of Howard University have offered to the National Memorial Association a site on Georgia avenue for the proposed memorial for colored soldiers and sailors who have fought in all wars of America The building, as proposed, would be of stone, three stories high, and contain a hall of fame for members of the Negro race in America. It would also contain an auditorium seating 5,000, an armory for patriotic organizations and a library. Bill in Congress This memorial is to be reported on soon by a joint committee on the library for the Senate and House of Representatives. The project has met with universal approval, as indicated by letters from a large number of members of Congress, and from other public officials. The movement has progressed from a national proportion. It is proposed to finance it by contributions of citizens, the amount raised to be matched by a sum from Congress. A commission of nine, according to a bill introduced by Senator Pepper, of Pennsylvania, and Representative Will R. Wood, of Indiana, will be created to design and plan for the memorial. The bill would authorize expenditure of $5,00,000 by the commission. Ferdinand D. Lee is president of the association promoting the bill, and the funds will be collected until the memorial is authorized by the Congress. Tuesday, 5 P.

With the demise of Irs. Eliza Corpenter, 55 of the city marks the passing of one of the most picturesque sports women of the race. She was one of the pion- ners who made the famous "man" into Indian Territory on the opening of that strip of land. "Aunt Eliza," as she was known in Kansas, Oklahoma and Kentucky, sold twice in her lifetime, before the confusion of the Civil War. As the only Negro race-horse owner in Oklahoma and one of the few colored stable owners in the west, she was known racing in one of the best known racing followers. Born in 1849 in Virginia She was born in 1543 in Virginia. At the age of six, her master sold her to a Kentucky slave holder, who married her the age of eight to a Missouri bride. When the Civil War gave her freedom, she returned to Madisonville, Ky. There she developed a fondness for thoroughbred horses, and on to Kansas, she junched several race horses, training them herself. Was Good Fighter 'On one occasion, when a white man with whom she had bet on the outcome of a game, she said that, a slight quarrel ensued. Two blows were struck—one when Aunt Eliza landed a blow squirrel to the jaw and the second a blow to the eye. Though independent, she was a friend of those of her race who were in misfortune. Her attendance at an event made her known in many states. Injured in Runaway Recently she was on a visit to Kentucky, where an uncle was said to have left her $25,000. she was taken to a local eighbored horse she was driving became frightened. She never recovered from a fractured skull, according to Zula Dickinson, who nurses her horse. She returned to Ponca City in August, fortnight she suffered a stroke of paralysis and died last Tuesday afternoon. Until Eliza has not race for the last year. George Benson is her administrator. Her estate will probably go to two nephews, Frank and Vigil Gillam, of Madisonville, Ky., who were here for the funeral. She is survived by her horses, and several times, rode her own favorites in the races. Raced For Prize When the Cherokee Strip was thrown open for settlement on September 15, 1865, the Appalachian decided to try for the $1,000 prize offered for the first person who should reach the side where Ponca City was to be established. On board a 4,000-pound chestnut colored Aunt Eliza made a great race, but was out-distanced the sheat first the train to Cross. Taking up a claim near Ponca City she ran for the race for racing and participated in race at Winfield, Blarkwell, Arkansas City, Newkirk, Anthony and Topeka. Olla "Lucky" Johnson, who is still in the race, was in Ponca City waiting for the racing season to reopen, was the jockey who rode most of her horses. Some of the best known of these were "Irish Rider" Johnny, "Saint Carpenter" and "Little Brown, Jug," which she raced at Tia Jauan. Lower California. In several cases, dissatisfied with the race the race was going, Aunt Eliza ran her own horses, sometimes to victory.

BALTIMOREANS ON CRACK TRAIN (Preston News Service) BY THE CAMERAMAN Last week we took a nineteen-hour spin at a fifty-mile-por-hour clip on the "Capito" Limited. the crack Chicago-Washington-Baltimore (and Ohio Railroad); and if home or hotel were to be silently transferred to the alces and vestibules of this station, we never know the difference. In fact, life on the "Limited" is sort of a super de luxe existence. We are overoptimistic, but we are sure we are merely slating facts when we say that the outstanding life of life on the railroad service which is given to its passengers by a corps of highly-skilled Negro employees of the Baltimore Company, working on a hand-in-glove-basis, and co-operating with each other in frictionless fashion. The Miss B. Robinson, of Chicago, and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad officials say: "She is a very competent manicurist. The services at your request." Although we didn't indulge in the luxury of a manicuring, and didn't summonhip purposes, we did cultivate his close friendship for other obvious reasons. His name, we wrote, is M. Fleiss. L. Larkin, M. Myrleave大道, Baltimore, Md., and believe it or not, he seemed to have second sight, for he always seemed to know what you wanted him to do. He was a man of character, before you had a chance to ask him. His contemporaries on the "limited" are Stanley M. Fields, Henry Satterter, and the Chester Melnchhoff, of New York; and C. N. Walken, of Philadelphia—the most expert corps of berth makers. Sure, we ate on the "limited" and the meal was cooked and served with dexterity and amid smiles by James C. Johnson, Harold Shuckley, John C. Newman, and E. W. Roberts, James W. Houston, Raymond J. Brown, puts Montgomery, C. F. Hall, and the Chicagoans seemed to have the corner "on the eats" while J. L. Parker, another Baltimoreman, served sparkling ale and White Rock in the Speaking more seriously, the New-to-crew seemed pleased with their work; and their attitude, bespeaks the fact that the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company and the Fullman Company must make a good "double-header" boss. Their excellent services are a tribute to high-class transportation employers, and it as President Woodrow Wilson used to say, "the railroads are the arteries of the country," then, the efficient Negro "comfort" train crews must be the veins. Furthermore, we would say a brief word to the public. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is a sticker to the policy of "serving the public." Colored passengers who ride the former Royal Blue Line with any degree of "frequency are unanimous in their testimony, that the 'Bando' road gives them the same courteous service," the same lower berths, and the same seats that are dispensed to other passengers. With the "Bando" money-talks, and services are non-discriminatory. The whole situation is a fine display of common sense on the part of the "Bando" and the Pullman Company officials, to whom we would express the hope that they increase the number of their Negro employees both on rail and in shops—for they have MADE GOOD.

There was a man who had him to the Northwestern police station, where a charge of being drunk was docketed against him. Another Trunk Mystery; Paze Houdini A trunk mystery that would have done credit to a Houdini or Thurston came to light in the Criminal History story starts in Kentucky, from when N. U. Hill, a hospital internet, left Louisville with a dead body on November 24th, having his trunk at Baltimore shipped to his Baltimore more address. The trunk did not reach its destination but turned up in the home of a friend. The trunk did not tell why the trunk came to be sent to her, and to darken the mystery when it was opened, was found that 20 shirts, shoes, dresses, doesen shoes and seven suits had disappeared. The lock was, intact, but the stuff had simply vanished into thin air. When Hill called on the police department to help-him solve the mystery, they summoned. Mrs. Hall but the Magistrate set her free as there was no evidence to prove she done the slight-of-hand work. Hill still hag his trunk. A Northwestern Comedy Scene: Northwestern Police Station.

(Nicholson has been haled into court by the madam on a charge of non-support.) Judge: Well, James, your wife teaches you won't stay-home and support her, what have you to say about it? Mrs. Nicholson (breaking in before she has time to speak). Judge: What what he don't do nothing else but. Nicholson, (passing a bottle half full of some colored liquid over the rolling to the Magistrate).

Woodrow Wilson's Spirit Helped Her Out Miss Cora. Williams, 2743 Lee street, could not call on Mrs. Patsy Taylor's "White Cloud," but the spirit of ex-President Wilson kept the door open. Miss Williams had been accused of the larceny of a piece of jewelry and offered an alibi to prove her innocence. This alibi was supported by testimony that she was on a coral street at the time of the alleged theft. She was sure she was on this street, because she said she saw Woodrow Wilson walking down this street. But Wilson insisted on incarnation of the late-President became more evident when a letter she produced and written to a friend some time ago also bore out her statement by saying the same thing. She was dead, she exclaimed it was news to her, for she certainly saw him. Fined for Disturbing the Peace and Disorderly Conduct: Thomas Dunger, 1425 E.

Big Electric Sign PROGRESSIVES IN MARYLAND TO CARRY ON 'New Party or No New Party Progressive Bloc Will Live Says Speaker AT POLITICAL GROSSROAD New Political Formula Is Outlined by Colored Speaker at LaFollette Dinner "The birth of a new and in-dependent political formula has taken place for mother and child and are doing well," William N. Jones, city editor of the Afro-American, one of the speakers at a dinner given by the New Central Committee at the New Howard Hotel Tuesday night. Whether or not the time is right for their party, continued the speaker, "a spit political freedom wherein voters will wear their conscientious convictions with out" regard for party alignment alone, has come to a definite life in the Negro race and this spirit will live. To Carry On The dinner arrangement by the South Central Committee was called to outlining the politics, was presented to the meeting of National Press Association in Washington to decide the move of the progressive movement. At this dinner it was the unanimous vote to keep intact the progressive organization here in Maryland. It pointed out that in no state in the Union can a really progressive blue collar or citizen of civil advancement. There was narrow margin of strength between the two parties here in this State and the Progressives might easily be able to power in any local or national election. The report of the treasurer of the committee showed that more than 400 in campaign funds remained in the campaign that subscription were still coming in. Get Negro Votes Analysis of the campaign also showed that of the 45,000 or more State a goodly number were colored voters. Considering the fact that little money was spent and that there was no organization or work force to vote in the election, the committee agreed that the effort had been highly successful. Intensive organization to begin immediately throughout the State is being planned. Attracts Progressive Thinkers "To colored people," said Mr. Jones, "the progressive movement has not moved. The left movement, nor a third party movement. For a long time the younger and thinking element has been seeking a way out of the stagnation of the current conclusion that complete slavery or any party is conductive of the best political attainments. "It was this incentive to select the best minds, the cause of the best minds in the race to revolt from the old order, and to count the policies and acts of candidates of more importance than most party alignment. "It was also a way firmly that if ever the progressives failed to be dominated by the higher ideals of true Americanism; if ever they failed in the matters of a square deal to show a lack of strength and militancy in facing the foes of absolute justice. It would not be large enough to carry that evergrowing group of people undaunted by the storm they are bravely in the last campaign."

DIVORCES AS YOU LIKE THEM The Court House was full of people last week trying to get their divorce before the Christmas rush set silver lining, chirped the Post, and he was just about right, for if you turn the dark cloud of Matrimony inside you will find the silver lining of Divorce. Pardon this Historical reference, but you may not know that Divorces were originated by the Society for Women, a seventy-thousand-male thought inhumane to make poor dumb husbands suffer so. When Webster compiles his next Dictionary, Matrimony will be spelled MATRIMONEY for that's all it means to some women. The same way with ALI-MONEY. Because it just a business proposition either way you go. Some women just stay married long enough to find out how much can tell it on the WITNESS STAND. Then the Court makes you pay her Lawyer for helping her tell. It's lots easier nowadays to get a Divorce than it is to get MARRIED. When you want to get married it is RIGHT girl, when you want a Divorce you don't have this to worry about; you already have her. All a Baltimore Lawyer has to know is the fact that you are Legally married and he will do that with some women you never knew and show PHOTOS to prove it. It doesn't do any good to deny it, for the Judge knows that she wasn't the one he has been married himself. One woman told the Judge that her husband stayed away for a week. The Judge asked If that was the reason she wanted a divorce. She said, NO, she wanted a Divorce because he came back. A Guy was suing his wife for Divorce the other day, and she said that was just the trouble, he was tired doing the HOUSEWORK. A woman declared that her husband was so absent minded that he tied a BIB on Corn Flakes, and poured a bottle of the JURY that said that any man that forgetful had no business with a wife, then he couldn't remember the VERDICT. One woman was so jealous that she didn't even want her husband's mother to see her wife didn't want her mother to visit them either, but it wasn't JEALOUS. One Bozo said that his wife hit the Bozo eye with a Tomato. The Judge told him that a Tomato was too soft to hurt much. He said this one wasn't it in a CAN. A recently married Damsel wanted a Divorce because her husband left DREGS in the Coffee cup, in the GROUPS for the coffee think. GROUPS are all right for the Old Folks but they are hard on the Children. Statistics show that over half the GROUPS in Baltimore haven't any PARENTS. We have doped out and rule that if followed will eliminate Divorces in the future. All the other rules such as, "A rolling stone is worth two in the Bush" have been tried in the US and avoid DOESICT trouble follow these SIMPLE instructions, "DON'T GET MARRIED." DOUGLASS HI SCHOOL OPEN IN FEBRUARY Rumors that the new Douglas High School, corner of Carey' and Baker street, would not be ready for occupancy in February, were denied by superintendent Hennessey. "Our plans, as far as we know now are to open the new high school in February. Of course, something unforeseen may happen that will cause delay, but we know now, it will be opened in 'February.' The school was accepted from the Public Improvement Commission in the early part of December and it is essential equipment will be ready by that time. Business and Industry SERVANTS SIDE OF PROBLEM NEGLECTED Few Employers Pay Attention To Servant's Side, Says the Labor Department Two-thirds of the domestic workers in Baltimore are Negroes, while through the country as a whole they form less than one-third of the domestic servants. Turnover High The turnover among this group of workers in this city is very high. These facts were revealed in a study of the record of the Domestic and Industrial Baltimore, just made public by the Women's Bureau of the Department of Labor. This association was organized in 1920 by a group of mestic service on a better and more standardized basis. According to a study made by the National Urban League of the 66,763 Negroes who were listed in the 1920 census, of exactly 50 per cent, were engaged in domestic service. Negroes furnish 65.6 per cent of the 50,446 workers in this field in Baltimore. The Urban League's survey gives the reasons for their prependerd numbers in this work as first, the assumption in large part that this is Negroes' work; second, the stigma of social inferiority that work not yet overcome amony many work not yet overcome amony many third, the small amount of immigration to Baltimore, particularly of the Swedish, Irish and Scandinavian groups, who frequent instances prefer this type of work. Women Outnumber Men These totals are greatly affected by the large number of Negro women employed in domestic services. The numbers there are 11,131 more Negro women than men thus engaged. They are, in fact, 68 per cent of all the Negroes employed in domestic services. A comparison of these figures with those of the 1910 census show rather little variation in the number when their relation to the total Negro working force is considered. Sixty four per cent of all Negro workers and personal service in 1910, but in 1920 the per cent dropped to 30. On the other hand, in 1910 the total Negro working force was 3.9 per cent of all Negroes working. In 1920 they had increased to 5.3 per cent, and in 1920 they had increased to 6.9 per cent of working drift from domestic and personal service to the industries. The report of the Women's Bureau in commenting on the frequency of the time the time of the survey 66.4 per cent of the women and 59.1 per cent of the men had not been with one employee in the field into the reasons for this, the Bureau found that only 15.9 per cent of the women and 19 per cent of the men had been dismissed because of the considerable proportion (25.7 per cent of the women and 31.8 per cent of the men) had left because the employment had been closed. Thus indicating that the problem of seasonal employment is a serious one for the household workers- one of the 11 per cent of the men had left of their own accord. The figures in this paragraph apply not to the Negro group in all of the workers in this field. Lacks Modern Methods The Bureau's report says, "Women do a great deal of talk about teaching and learning, but competent domestic servants, but apparently they are not willing to apply twentieth century methods to teach children, they introduce new and scientific contrivances into the households in the name of efficiency they are not trained to teach, and to teach services in the names of either efficiency or humanity. That employee, as a rule, are given no systematic training for domestic occupations, but are usually expected to pick up work, a definite handcap to both the householder and the employee. Lack of standardization is the great difficulty resulting where individual households, with the help of training standards, must serve as the training schools, especially since the householders themselves have no training which fits them to be adequate instructors. By householders about the labor turnover. As a match for this, however, employees might, well cite as a grievance the migratory habits of many employees in the domestic establishments in which the domestic workers are employed and who make no arrangements for the maintenance of the domestics during an interval. A drawback to domestic service, says the report, are the long and indefinite hours of employment. While employees complain bitterly when servants are late for servicing for the servants have as strong a cause for complaint when they are kept late: in the evening. BY CLARENCE-ENNIS Sec'y, Colf. Colored Realty and Development A'sn. Los Angeles, Calif.—Pacific Coast News Bureau—With the gradual industrial recession under way increased pressure is continually being brought to bear thru strong racial prejudice, limiting in a serious way the occupations heretofore open to Negroes. The Russell Sage Foundation after four years of careful investigation reports "Race prejudice is limiting very much the occupations open to Negroes; until recently the only lines of work to which Negroes have been employed plantation labor, personal service and common labor." In other localities preference is given to ex-servicemen of the white race only. In Los Angeles, where it is being made to bring in more Mexican labor to the cotton belt. Situation in West Whereas the steady migration of the Southern Negro to the industrial centers of the North and East has been slowed by the Southern States as to make possible the imposition of Mexican labor; the Japanese exclusion throughout the Pacific States has created a barrier to the cultivation of the out cotton growing section of California. Country Lies in Colonization California thru its isolation by distance from the Southern cotton States is not affected by the shifting of the two or more million migratory workers from the southern state to the labor reserves of the lumber, railroad, construction and agricultural industries. California's labor solution lies in the systematic use of its various colonization projects. Farm Laborers The only type of Negro laborer needed in California is the farm laborer. The type of Negro farm laborer is to settle, colonize and become a permanent asset to the community is what is needed in the Far West. The colonization of western farm laborers is a proposition to be left, the inexperienced and irresponsible, whose only interest is an immediate profit regardless of the class of land sold that may have the purchase. Non-Profit Negro Organization Successful colonization is based on confidences. To move people from one section to another they must be inspired with confidence in the lands and what they will produce. Also they must believe that fair returns may be expected for the labor and capital invested. And they must believe the future? Can they succeed along the same general lines as in the past, or must they approach the problem in a newer and different method? And to this end thirty-five years ago men, firms and corporations on the Pacific Coast recently formed the first organization of its kind ever incorporated in the West, a non-profit organization whose sole object is to encourage, direct, supervise and protect all Negro colonists desiring information, advice and protection about coming to or investing in Western colonization. This organization, The California Colored Realty and Development Association, (Inc.) has nothing to do with the commerce of Commerce is to the white colonists; a means of obtaining authentic reliable news and information on any subject desired relative to the West and its relation to the Negro. A report from the U. S. Department of Labor reaching this paper indicates that employment here, has taken a sharp up-hill climb as a result of the greatly increased demand for this report. "Wholesale and manufacturing establishments, report increased orders and slight additions to forces engaged," the report states, "and the outlook for the coming 30 days is considered much brighter than at this period in Okinawa." "The manufacture of iron and steel products has been stimulated by increased orders, and this class of labor is fairly well employed. Manufacture of clay and glass, and glassing, although glass bottle activities report a slight increase. "There is a surplus f labor in the building trades." ```markdown ``` N. B.

Tested Beauty Hints Always see to it that your orange stick is wet well covered with a apparent cotton or a bit of silk. When you have a stick with a fine piece of scissors, finish with emery or a steel nail file. And always, before you manure it with a fine scissor, scint in hot water and cleanse with the nail brush. When you polish the nails, use paste for when and do not apply the powder till afterward. As a buffer you can use the palm of the other hand. A thorough cleaning should be undertaken at least once a week. There are so many very satisfactory nail pastes and polishes that you can use best for the nails, all the more if there is no paste foundation. Carmine, which gives a pleasing pink tint, should be never use the liquid varnishes which produce a sheen without the aid of the buffer. Then use an aseptic, floridating oil to soften your nails.

Helpful Hints Novel Holiday Wreaths Leaves of the "Silver maple" are lovely for Christmas decorations, being white underneted and white with bristles that brush the underside with glue, then sprinkling artificial snow over same, the effect is similar to glue. The leaves are combined, combined with a bit of green holly and red berries. The white side of leaf should be the exposed part. A Helpful Hint on Cleaning Ducks Anyone who has picked the feathers from a duck's head will find luzz or down off. First pick out the big feathers and pin feathers as you would a chicken. Then pick out the luzz or down. You will find it all luzz and as soon as this is cool or set, peel it off, which will leave the skin unbroken. The clean leaf will toughly next the time you clean a duck's skin. A marmalac can be used on several ducks. Clothes Pressing Hint When using a wet cloth in pressing, wring it out of hot water instead of cold. This way no heat is wasted - an item when using an electric lamp. Good For Dandruff I have found the white of an egg good for removing dandruff. Best white of egg stuff, rub it on scalp, then let it dry and then wash the hair. Good Coffee If you would have coffee with a deflousious aroma do not use hot water, coffee or tea. If you do use coffee in coffee pot and let steps until it begins to bubble, just ready. There is a reason. Hot water sets the steeps and the aroma goes up in steam. A Step-Saver A wastebasket in every room of the house saves many steps and keeps the house free from ticks.

After having finished and excellent repeat of fried oysters in a well apportioned dish, I punched at $2e, from a very poite and courtese waitress. Knowing full well that I had to wait, and then to go and waitress, and then to go to the castler to pay my check. Upon handing in my check and the remaining coin, I formed me that I had only given him a 5 cent piece. It then occured to me that the waitress the quarter instead of the nickle. Then to add to my mime, I called the waitress and ask her to return the quarter to me in order to pay my bill. Then, some in sympathy, others in suppressed mirth that was the most embarrassing moment of my life.—Ma EVERY NEGRO should own and have in his library the greatest novel of the year, "By SANCTION OF LAW" by by JOSHUA HENRY JONES, Jr A Member of the Race A thrilling story, dramatically told.

Coninued from Last Week For the most part, the crowd gathered on the sidewalk, leaned against the railing and gazed at the swaying bodies and the two lying on the grass. The one that of Dr. Tansey, the other that of Professor Armstrong. They believed that all four bodies must have been lynched on the grass, and they lynched only two niggers, "remarked one to a bystander. "So did I. D I. four bodies though." I only remember two," said a third. One spirit, bolder than the others, now that the sun was shining, started for the gate. "I want a piece of that for a rememberance to the next one that gets fresh with me." So do I—So do I—Me too," various others repeated as they followed the gate. "I remember ends from the dangling ropes. They had each secured a piece of the rope and started for the gate again, when the officer Armstrong, the latter regained consciousness, opened his eyes, turned over and started to rise. With a faint of fear the four souvenir hunters tossed their bits of rope into the air. Professor Armstrong staggered for his feet. looked wildly at the retraining crowd, then cursed them. "Oowards—brutes that you are. Run, you curs you call yourselves men—white men at that. Behold your have been one of them, pointing in the general direction of the three bodies. You don't know what you've done. Killed three innocent persons, one of the white men, just to please your greed for blood. "Bebold your work, your beasts. You've killed a white man.—A real man—as we went, two absolutely innocent people. This town for this as if we will curse this whole land unless you change." With that he strode toward the gate. In awe, stood to allow a path in awe, stood to walk. Professor Armstrong crossed the street, haggard and hollow-eyed from his experiences, and made for it. "There's a white man's body over there in that yard," he said to the clerk at the desk, pointing to the courthouse. "A white man killed by—the body to some understudy place." Orangeburg awoke in a remorseful mood. When the better families, whose domestics had been frightened into hiding during the night while the rioting was at its height, failed to show up for work, the first realization of what had happened came to them. When their morning paper recounted the wild happenings of the night before and the barbarity of the scenes they came to a greater realization. When, however, an extra edition was cried into their faces, announcing that one white man had been accidentally killed by the mob, his body trampled on and mangled, the horror of the affair sank into their souls. It was well toward noon before the bodies were cut down and removed from the courtyard. Not until after Judge Gauvlin had come to hold court and viewed the remains. When he stood at the gate, about to enter, with the crowd of morbid speculators gaping at the still swaying bodies, he realized that the man and the woman were innocent, also he knew in his heart where the guilt lay, he hung his head after ordering the bodies removed. His self control was so shaken by the gruesomeness of the sight that he accrued to be a victim, but it was always kept on the body of Dr. Transey had been borne away early in the morning, soon after Professor Armstrong had notified him that he was a continual crowd passing and repassing the spot, souvenir hunting, or just plain morbid curious. The threat to over relatives who prepared them for burial. As if in remorse, some of the white families sympathetically scrived the stranger to the bereavement for the remainder of the city, business proceeded as if nothing unusual had occurred. Traffic hurried out, down to his family's parish church, and that he had been the indirect cause of the tragedy. Rev. Father Wilson Bentley in his little parish church story recalled the meeting with Dr. Transey in harleston. His heart was heavy. He bowed his head in indication, and the little mission that had been his life as well as he center of his work. As he pictured the scene, he murmured, tears filling his eyes: "Father hurried, they filled up the room they do. How can men be so cruel," he thought. "So brutal! I must hurry into town. He was a stranger to me, I will pray for the repose of his soul." Arriving at Orangeburg, Father Bunin hurried to the hotel and then learned of the plains for the fur traders. He was strong that the body was to be shipped North after a few simple exercises, he requester that he be allowed to stay. "Gladly, Father. I was wondering whom I could get to conduct the services." Professor Armstrong's legs were still sore from the shock of the shock of his hair had turned white almost over night. His eyes were haggard and hollow. "I don't know whether I can stand the shock of my wet or not, Father. I am still weak." "Yes. I know—I'm glad you were spared, my son. I hope this will soon stop and the country get back to nor- Louise Comstock passed them by, heavily veiled. She had not been able to see him. She did not girl she was protecting before the tragedy sweoped down on them. As she passed them, Professor Armstrong stepped to her and touched her lightly on her shoulder. "I have a clergyman who will conduct the services, Miss Comstock." "I'm so glad—so glad!" she said. The directioner Armstrong nodded in the direction of the clergyman. "What a terrible affair! What a cruel land!" She began to weep as she spoke. Professor Armstrong and Pathe Eunlin consolled and comforted her. "As soon as plans can be made off, I will be able and the body North. I have wired his people," she said when she had recovered. "I also notified them of the accidental death and stated that body was coming home. What a horror!" Louise's eyes again began to fill. She hastily passed into the hotel. She sat down at the clerkgymman. The following day the little chapel in which the funeral of Dr. Taneyc took place was crowded. She sat in the room, the heart of Orangeburg and there came to the chapel men and women who would never otherwise have given up. There was no music for the ceremony.

A domestic singing of the Spirituals. Every heart seemed to cease beating. No one scarcely breathed. The voice was melodic, tender, and more powerful. The death was in the room and tragedy in the heart. The words seemed to glide from the lips as the rich sweet-tone soprano voice sang: Steal away, steal away, steal away to Jesus. Oh, steal away, steal away home. For I have not long to stay here. My Lord calls me. He calls me by the thunder. The trumpet sounds it in my soul—I have not long to stay here. Steal away, steal away home. I have not long to stay here. For I have not to泪 to tears. Instinctively as the wound died away in silence ever and in the audience dropped, breast. Not an eye caught with tears and not a heart but swolled with pain of sorrow and criel. "Let us pray," said Father Bun-tin. "Oh, God," he said, "In the midst of life we are in death, as thou knowest. In the midst of darkness we are in light; in the midst of the false death to know life; to know light and to know truth. Men blinded by passion, ignorance and filled with hatred are incapable of seeing thy light, thy life and thy truth. Forgive those at whose hands one of thine own image has been sent to thy bar. May they learn to regret their actions and turn from those ways by which they have broken thy commandments. Thou shalt not kill. Teach them thy way; which is the right way, Oh God. Teach them that men are men created by you, endowed with they spirit and that since they gave no life, they must not be guilty of taking life. Grant this. Oh God, and lead us into better ways, where we may always stand for thy glory till life is everlasting. Amen." As the prayer ended again there stole through the latticed windows the lona voice singing. Sweet, sweet, sweet, chariot, coming to carry me home. Swing low sweet charlot: coming to carry me home. I look over angels what do I see, and I swing low sweet charlot: com- ing to carve me home. A band of angels coming after me, Coming to carve me home. Swing low sweet charlot: coming to Sitting low sweet charitie, coming to carry me home. As the song ended, Father Buntin arose and stepped to the head of the carriage. "This is a very sad task. Sadder than most of us realize. To be taken off in the prime of life before completing the things we have seen us have to do, we are unfortunately however is it to be sent to an untimely death as this man has been sent. "His was a noble heart—I had the opportunity of knowing him a few short weeks ago under circumstances that stamped him as one of God's few in these days of moral cowardice. He was a been a power for good. Perhaps, however, his death may serve the end for which God intended his life. This man killed by mob fury ought to serve to point the way toward which we are wast heading unless we call a hatchery and ruin are just over the fence." "I warn you, one and all. Let this death be a lesson to you. You have long been playing with fire to torch and the entire country on fire from it. Once started, there is no telling where it will end. Think, friends, members of this parish, tell us as members of the church. So when your voice could be carried into every hamlet in this wide land. The Ku Klux raging and lawlessness reigns rampant in the world with more than eight thousand homicides in every year, recorded. God knows how many are unrecorded. Women and women. Think. Thought is law and law is thought in control. When we think we cease to be beasts. And all are forced to admit that we have been beasts. Think we are not the ones set for those about us. We have the law in our hands. We have the constabulary, the courts and all the machinery of civilization in our hands. We have the law in our hands. We always resort to force? We are uncertain. Cannot we set the example by Christian living, by Christian law and Christlike judgements. What are we doing to the lowly people, when we are the greatest most inhuman, brushes of all. "We ruin their women at will. We flog and kill them at will. Picture the scene a few days ago when a poor wretch, who has now been proven to be innocent was strung up and disembowled by a mob gone insane as the mob went insane that slew the victim lying before us. Think of human beings, members of a civilized race clamoring and fighting with one another, men, women and children, for strands of rope by which poor innocent souls have gone to death at our hands. Who is the brute, I ask? Who is the brute? What must have been the feelings of those of their race who look on from behind the walls of fear and trembling and see a supposedly civilized Christian people become such beasts." "Until our civilization turn back to God and realizes there is no expediency, no honor, no excuse in or for racial hatred, injustice and the rule of might, we shall never have a real civilization and we shall still be living examples to all the remainder of the world, of hypocrisy, farce and sophistry. We are all hiding behind a color cloud. Behind a theory, that might makes right, and justice—is what we choose to make it. "Come out. Oh. America! Come out. Oh Land of the South!" In any great human cause, some blood must be shed to impress the people with the seriousness and the righteousness of the honourable, the honorable, the noble man, if it is the proper purpose will awaken us to a greater consciousness of the evil we have reared in our midst; to quicken our consciousness the dungeon of our conscience; to show us the will of God, to show us the will of God, to make the way to better living for us all." "We wee these people a duty we have never thought of paying. We owe ourselves a protection from the evil that would have been better it would have been it. After the war of secession we had turned our efforts to making them into good citizens rather than to have tried so hard to enslave them again. We owe it not to their discredit that we have come so far and done so under the circumstances. Rather it been to the great discredit of the South that we have sought to people virtual to God of peace and that ordained it in wise. We have not played the game fairly. It is time that we should. "How much better it would be we had set ourselves to the task of civilization; if we had started and kept going, schools for their education—settlement houses for turning them into better citizens, and teaching them the laws of health and justice of a blind prejudice, a vastly positive force that if directed properly would have made this, our South blossom as a garden of paradise." It is "time we'd about in our cuckoo," we considered its matters in relation to our own existence. We have been possessed of a blinding madness. If by the death of this noble man we could望 of seeing our man's consciousness awakened, then I say, God be praised. Amen!" CHAPTER XXIV Bennet was full of curiosity as to the old town as he looked about on his arrival at Orangeburg, with Dr Tansey, but also about the distance. There was to be some urgent appeal forcing him on. With this urge on him he secured an automobile and started for the country, north after he had got not more than a few miles, he came to a swollen stream, called Long Branch flowing rapidly toward the Edison. There was a long foot trail this and a temporary bridge for automobiles. For most of the traffic that crossed it, however, there was no bridge; horses, mules and vehicles were forced through, a narrow, low small, run through wide swampy areas. Sometimes these streams are shallow at their deepest, while for half a mile on each side water may may flow in a reaction section, a very wide stream shallow and clear. Long ranch was such a stream, either side of the main channel for half a mile or more, through parts of swamp growth like mud and sand over the sand and mud the waters of this stream, in dry seasons the stream mirrored to the main channel, and automobiles could be driven across freshest, however, across the stream, and impassible save for horse and impassible save for horse vehicles. see Bennet's chauffeur, coming to the stream and seating its swollen rushing width, drove along it like a lion, then was almost all alone, then his levers and scurred to the shallows again. "Where're you going?" asked Bennet showing impatience, then Mister. "Why you were almost thru that I could see the other bank." "Yes, but that was just the way it was," he could have been over the motor before long. "Too bad - Can't we hurry?" "Have to go 'round, State Pedway." "For you?" "Bout ten miles" Bennett grazed inwardly but sand back into his seat. The mech was red its way along, and the car was reached. Bennett was content to watch the panorama as field after field of crops pass one long kaleidoscopic hill. The road to tool" Bennett over by way of the hill over the long hills and winding roads between muddy fields of staple cotton and swaying corn Here and there was a huddled crowd of which little children played, and yellow children seen in the fields, hoeing the corn or ploughing the corn. Motte came same sandy and motor vehicles. It was late in the afternoon the chauffeur turn in his seat to say: "We were almost there now. That far now to colonel Laurent's hair.

We do not like to thin' of it, for it surely would be a black time in the world's history were we to go back to the day, when the Christ child had not been born. A good many things, we have to pass quite unappreciated until through some wrench of fortune they are snatched away from us. Lovely things, beautiful things, things we could scarcely do without far too often lie in our hands without bringing to us a single thrill of joy or of thanksgiving. We have them; we enjoy them, but we are grateful for them. Only when we wake up some morning and find that our treasure has been taken away from us we cry, "Oh, bring it back! I must have it; I cannot live without it!" John Harvard Now, we have our Christmas treasure. It has been ours our lives, so long that we have become accustomed to it. We accept it and all that comes with it, as a matter of course; and it means so little to us. We give; we get, and we do not stop to think why. Harvard was not at all aware of learning it is now. Like the temple, it was not "builted" in 'u UNION What if a new vision of the Christmas time were to come to us in this year of our Lord 1924? What if we were to take down a Book which has lain on the shelf so long that the dust is deep on its covers and read once more the story of that first Yuletide, the brightest and the best day that ever came to this old world, and lingered over it until our souls heat, warm once more, and our hearts filled again with the love which was on that day manifest toward all the world. What at a new day that would be in the lives of us all! It took time, money and patience to rear educational institute. The fact is old John Harvard himself realized that some institution of learning was necessary upon this new continent for all of those people who desired education. A idea was to place a fountain of knowledge in a location where it would be accessible to everyone, probably had no idea, the school would never grow unless the acorn was planted somewhere, the acorn and years after his demise the world looks upon Harvard as one of the greatest schools in the world. As he founded education and enlightenment would not have perished from the earth. Somehow it would have been dispensed upon him quickly, quickened the pulse and added to the general stock. And it may be so. A stone has too long lain at the doorway of our hearts. Let us roll it away now, and let its glory flood our lives and make us once more little children with all a child's innocence, goodness and longing for the happiness of everyone we knows! As expected, Victory Hospital trustees decided last week to abandon the project to purchase the old building of Union Memorial Infirmary and are left with $25,000 on their hands Morgan College We have 'many' institutions of learning in this country for our own use. We have the Fisk and Shaw. Tuskegee and Hampton have lately or are about to add collegiate department to our curriculum, we fully say we are, without educational facilities. However, be this as it may, the local people are impressed in turn at Mergan College. This was known beforehand, but aid expected from the city, State and private philanthropy failed to materialize. The problem is now what to do. Morgan started 'out in a small way like most private educational institutions, but she reached the place where it commands the respect and the support of at least the people of the city. It is beautifully situated in a lovely section: of the city and is busy preparing youngsters to take their first steps. It appears more "dough" is needed to put the college on a good substantial basis, for which reason a campaign is needed to collect the necessary "shuckles". If three hundred thousand dollars is subscribed by this Thursday then somebody comes up with fifty thousand dollars and gives it to the school. If the three hundred thousand dollars is not subscribed then the fifty thousand dollars evaporates. To date I haven't learned if the three hundred thousand dollars was subscribed in time, but I do know that if it is just a matter of giving one's word the fifty thousand dollars at least is safe for Morgan. Governor Ritchie may feel justified in advertising Charles R. Urban, white, patrolman, for pardon Saturday, especially since the parole is recommended by Judge Duncan, who tried the case at Towson, and Assistant States Attorney Weinberg, of Baltimore, who prosecuted the case. Patrolman Urban, while off duty, killed Mr. Charles Williams in his home. Urban's own testimony was that he was looking for bootleggers. Other evidence proved Mr. Williams unarmed. Bullet holes indicated that the patrolman fired through the door from the outside, hitting Williams, who refused to permit him to enter. Promises And More Promises If there is one thing easy to get in the world it is promises. Personally, I know two men who would subscribe that three hundred thousand dollars and two hundred dollars is without a job and the other is without funds but either one would put their pledge down in black and white with a clear conscience to make the fifty thousand dollars safe for Morgan by pledging. It is customary for the Governor to pass favorably upon pardon recommended by the trial judge and the prosecuting State's Attorney, nevertheless Governor Ritchie has some responsibility. Urban's sentence was for five years. He has served two. Unless there is new evidence to prove that Urban did not commit the crime, he should serve the full term. The penalty for breaking into the Williams home and killing the occupant should be just as severe as that for breaking into a home on Roland Park and committing murder. In the case of Mr. Urban, it should be even more severe because he was, an officer sworn to enforce the law which he ruthlessly violated. After the War, What During the war lots of people who could not chase their ancestry back to the Mayflower or around the coast, could not some "jack" and fought their way into society. What used to be known as the "Four Hundred" in New York came to be a thing of the past. The Mayflower and packed, barrages of dollars, were turned supereason in efforts to attain supremacy. While all of this was going on the real big "Guns" rested with the packers, come when the fury of the attack from the byways and hedges would be spent. Here we are then in 1924 five years after the Big Berthas on Flanders Fields have stopped, armed out of bills, about to meet the old order-again. Periodically on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, especially, occurs a crime in which the victim is white and the汁汁 is black. A man hunt is organized, blood hounds are employed, hundreds of persons are deputized and the work of a whole community is stopped until the criminal is caught. New York's "500" List In New York a week or two ago notice was politely served on all strivers, and strains, that they could again take a back seat and down. A list of five hundred people was given to the thes, the pls called mince meat, was compiled to the exclusion of many parties, who believed they had gotten on To top this off, the committee imported an ex-Grand-Duchess, at present, the pretender, to the throne of those who had bid their way, up, to the social ladder. From now on the go The talk of lynching and mob law is in the air; public sentiment is rightly or wrongly inflamed, the criminal is caught, and the mob foiled by bringing the prisoner for safekeeping to Baltimore. whose family tree grew first in the garden of Eden. There is no doubt about it the white society is being reformed. Social Leaders Well, we all know from whom we take our precedence. If there has been reforming over in that side of the camp, then there must be a leader. I am to understand then that there will shortly be a causus held somewhere in the East at which time a visiting list will be dug up from our backyard, and we will be done we will search up and import a king, a prince, or something of the kind and commence to 'rule some ineligibles off the turf. Must we be there? but there will be nothing to it. With us it is always a free-for-all fight. Most of the time-nobody can tell who the Social Leader is... in Washington leaders but nobody knows who they are. In Baltimore there is no leader, in fact, nobody is even socially prominent. If anybody lays claim to being a social leader the rest of them will tell him or her where they can go. The Days of Yore in recounting incidents of the days gone by among our actor folks my good friend, and among something that was in vogue some years ago which would stand the public in hand very comfortably now. The actor maintains that many actors made speciality of playing in Beer Gardens. He further makes mention that the audiences were most always drunk, but appreciated. To my mind it would be a 'good thing' if we could get those days back. Possibly if all of the audiences could be kept drunk now there would be a lot of bogus acts staged in many of our theatres. However, I might mention that beer wouldn't get it. As rank one, the audience would than one hundred proof whiskey could make most of the people appreciate lots of them. Some of the things called, acts that come to our attention, influence of the worst 'boogie' ingriff. If one must see lots of these offerings it would be well to smoke some hop and get a couple of shots in the purchase of a ticket to be amused.

Not War.Pills, But Peace Tablets Time will not epitomize the terrible chasm caused by the world of our national life and advancement. For ten years it has been before the American people as one of the most unhuman errors. ever committed, and we have been warned for future national and international activities. Wars have wrought, nothing, but the suffering we see, past we see, sadness, suffering and sin. The crosses, in Flanders Field serve as a reminder to tourists, but we are not so aware of ever soul of the universe. What are our hopes, what are our aspirations? That men study war no more. When selfishness and greed disease the world, we must remedy. Jesus, the great physician, is ever ready to prescribe.

DAY BY DAY general pinching condition of unrest leadership "bib" up, good, good On the Negro question Gompers was always liberal, notwithstanding the fact that the rank and file required for a long time blindly narrow and unjust to Negro labor. Perhaps he was not outspoken in the beginning, those who knew him ultimately chose to he always wanted his organization to embrace all laborers without respect to race, creed or religion. It was not until the Atlantic City convention of organized labor that the council, which he dominated, came squarely out of the control of the future policy to include all colored laborers in the active program of the union. By this time, however, Negro labor was coming to be a factor itself in the account of the short sighted policy of the past many labor battles were lost because the Negro had to paddle for himself. Then all is said, and done, Gompers will be rated as one of the real leaders of the, the masses. That small group of organized Jews whom he reported was age ago has grown appreciations unnamed of in that day and generation. In many respects the well-being of the Negro group is the future of the labor movement in this country and let us hope that the success of the Negro group to broaden still further its policy and make the Negro group an integral part of its program. Blind Justice In Action Three pieces of crime news gives us a vivid picture of law and justice in the Christmas holidays. Harry Merrill, farmer, said to have shot and killed Lewis Dryden, white, a jail warden while a mob of men pursued the sheriff and his charge intent upon murder. According to news reports a num- berry warden while a mob of men pursued the sheriff and his charge intent upon murder. From the source it is an am- nouncement that Governor Ritchie will advertise the pardon of Charles Urban, white, former policeman, who went into the house to testify against whom testimony showed a relative of his to have had a grievance, and shot him to death. Governal will have served two years of his sentence. Over in a cell in the same prison on where has been there is a young colorist of 20 years of housebreaking. He stole a pair of pants and a few trinkets in an early morning burglary. There will be no pardon for him. Last week a. white-man was arrested after evidence had come to light to show that he was the guilty man. The innocent man is now serving time. At best at our law grinds out still a rather imperfect brand of justice. But how troubled must be the conscience of that citizen, be he judge, juror or witness, that fails to recognize the host of his knowledge and light.

Jesus Christ In The Year 1924 Nearly 2000 years ago three men tending a flock of sheep on a lonely hillside followed the direction of a star that guided them to Bethlehem where they found a babe cradled where horses were feed- A. B. That babe was for these nearly 2000 years no sin- ness and of men and women. WM. N. JONES 2000 years no single individual has had more to do with the destinies of men and women. He brought a new doctrine—a doctrine so new and radical that learned and conservative men of his day and generation describe it as a generation destiny of Trekky or Lentine, of Bolshevik Russia. He broke the blue laws of ancient Palestine by working on the society of his day by giving advice to a bad woman at Jacob's well, and did what no modern woman could do. DRIVE THE MONEY CHANGERS FROM THE TEMPLE. His greatest affront to the staid powers of that day, how to shatter the social and religious structure that divided men and women into Publicans and Sinners; Jaws and Gentiles; poor and rich; THE FATHERHOOD OF MAN AND THE FATHERHOOD OF GOD.

But the main point is that the spark of faith sees going radical few men, a boy who called Himself The Son of God, is changing this world into a better place. Each Christmas finds the action He taught will dominate the actions as well as the hearts of men. Samuel Gompers Passes Samuel Gompers is dead. The man who for 43 years guided the organization of organic labor in this country passed away still at the helm. Although not as radical as labor leaders in many countries, Gompers and power of the working men of this country than has been done in all other countries combined. Beginning in 1915, an organizer at the age of 14 years, he grew to be one of the most powerful economic factors in this country. He was known as a counterculture figure in the country, where there is not the same Just think of all the pretty white cigarettes that are stained by painted lips.

CORRECT THIS SENTENCE: BABE RUTH SMACKED THE EYE, WHEN THE EYE, WHEN THE TREED TO TAKE BABE'S PICTURE Kelly Miller Says The whole scheme of higher education of the Negro is now in the process of reshaping. Northern teachers with the zeal and devotion born of the Civil War are being gathered to their fathers. The young white man and woman do not come with the same attitude or point of view as characterized their forebears. The young Negro collegian is becoming painfully self-conscious. Racial attitudes are being sharply defined. Negro students will not completely learn lessons of social import from white instructors. The whole higher educational program of the race greatly needs restatement in terms of the new conditions. Great things are happening in the world today during the past week. Mr. Duke, of North Carolina, has given forty millions of dollars for the foundation and support of a great educational institution. U.S. States, and for other charitable enterprises, ment of their program before their legent discussion can be indulged on this point. Standard Life Saved We also notice in the week's news items that through the Standard Life, Dr. Moton, the Standard Life. A Southern Philanthropist The feature that especially interests the Negro is the generous provision of medical man, at Charlotte, North Carolina. I visited this institution last summer and found that it was in the process of establishing facilities to meet modern educational standards. This was made possible by the Smithsonian in honor of whose husband the institution changed its name from Biddle University by which it was known from the date of its foundation. This is I believe, the first instance of record where a Southern white man had a desirable sum to the higher education of the Negro. N. C. Teachers Association "On Thanksgiving Day I addressed the State Teachers Association of Alabama by the best, organized and most efficient state, teachers; association yet developed among colored educators. There are some twenty-four hundred teachers. The meetings are organized upon the scientific plan of program making. The program into sections. The grammar grade section. The high school section and the college section follow. The program is followed by the several grades. "The organization functions effectively in the conduct of the educational welfare of the students and smooth relations with the Department of Education at Raleigh, and is really a model of what a State teachers association ought to live on North Carolina as the leader in public education of the Negro. Other Southern States are the leaders in the example which she is setting. Eastman Millions Hampton and Tuskegee are conducting a joint program for five million dollars to open two million towards the project on condition that the gift be duplicated. Amount secreting nearly a million dollars had been previously announced. But he agreed astoundingly last week to learn that Mr. Eastman had contributed two millions, one to Hampton and one to Tuskegee, towards accomplishing their enlarged purpose. This is by all odds the largest benefaction that has ever come to a colored school. On completion of the pending campaign these institutions will be something like six million dollars each. "He said that they intend to broaden the basis of their work so that they can range of studies in education, agriculture and other practical pursuits. Old Order Changed Hampton has already added college courses in education and agriculture. The old order changeneg. The raging discussion as to the high-tech industry has twenty years ago split the race asunder has wholly passed away. The reign of common, sense has been ushered in. We are all learning that education has one unitary fundamental purpose. The kinds, needs, and modes local, temporary and social needs. Northern Interest Holds The great significance of the Hampton-Tuskegee donations is the fact that the philanthropy still retains a deep-seated interest in Nogroo education. After the death of *Booker T. Washington*, World War, it began to look as if the new Pharoh was about to forget Joseph. We heard little of the eloquence of the war, and the maintenance of Southern schools. We began to fear that 'many of them would have to close doors or be forced to local state support and control. Indeed, a number of them have already undergone such transformations. We were all trembling, over the threatened fate of Tuskegee. Deep fear was expressed that it might be the point of Northern philanthropists. The troubles involved in the adjustments of the Tuskegee Hospital for Negro education. The philanthropic phase of Negro education. The experiment of a great national educational center for Negro education was in serious disarray. This all would have been dismal. But thanks to the supervative tact of Dr. B. H. Booker, the success of the Booker T. Washington education is now secure for all time to come. Hampton and Tuskegee represent two interesting types of Negro education. They stand for substantially the same basic educational principle. At Hampton the teachers are white. Here, they shall fail the experiment, of the best white people working for the Negro. At Tuskegee the Negro is given full chance to conduct the experiment, to conduct the immediate and intimate management of his own education. These two experiments are directed toward the supporters contributing with equal generosity to both. They work together in the most intimate and friendly relation. There is neither jealousy or rivalry. There are jealousy in the triumph of the other. When these broader, foundations are secured we may expect import-ment, reshaping of the higher education that, Tukugee can, accomplish unique advantage. We shall have to wait for a further announcement. --- higher education of the Negro shaping. in the zeal and devotion born gathered to their father. woman do not come with the view as characterized their legian is becoming painfully tudes are being sharply do not completely learn lessons instructors. educational program of the race terms of the new conditions. ment of their program before intelligent discussion can be indulged on this point. Standard Life Saved We also notice in the week's many items that through the good offer life insurance Company has been from embarrassment. A loan of a million-has been secured on favorable terms to the over necessary credit to ultimately to redown to the Hampton-tuskegee endowment. Howard Appropriation The press reports tell us that the annual congress appropriated $100,000 to eliminate by objection in the House and has been sent to the Senate with hope of reinstitution. In the meantime, the Senate has induced to authorize this appropriation so as to relieve the institution from the annual anxiety of loss of appropriation. Thus we see that things are stirring in the world educational. The whole scheme the higher education NGOs is now in the process of reshaping. Many Re-adjustments Disquieting rumors reach us as disturbed conditions at Fisk. Will belfore sooner or later must come under fire? Lincoln is in the midst of selecting a new president, who will, doubles, have far reaching effect upon its future power. Methodist Episcopal Church has turned its collegiate schools over to colored faculties. The Baptist are engaged in serious reflections. The Lutheran are engaged in the higher education of the race is to raise up a set of educated ministers of the gospel to give moral and spiritual guidance. This purpose has all but failed. The old motive is all but dead. The spearmint has lost its flavor. Not one Negro college boy in twenty-five years has been able to hear little nowadays of the old rallying cry of culture for manhood sake. The motive has become almost wholly professional and vicious. The public schools are encroaching upon the higher pretensions of privately endowed institutions State universities, securing larger grants that philanthropy is going to private schools. Getting Race Support The Negro is contributing more and more largely to the establishment of schools and colleges. Wilberforce University has erected direct race support the largest and most useful building of any Negro college in the Southern States. The students of the University contribute in tutoring something like one hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year towards the maintenance of the institution. The Northerners teach with zeal and devotion born of the Civil War are being gathered with their fathers. The young white man and the black man are teachers with attitude or point of view as characterized their forbears. The young Negro collegian is becoming pungent and being sharply defined that being so sharply defined that the Negro pupil will not completely learn lessons of social import from white instruction. Neither educational program of the race greatly needs reinstatement in terms of the new conditions. 15 Years Ago **Items From The Afro-American of December 18th, 1909** $30,000 was paid on account by the congregation of Bethel A.

SOCIETY SCRIBBLERS CLUB TO HOLD MEETING The "Scribblers Club," will meet at Mrs. George V. Lottier Thursday December 18.

ADVANTAGES GAINED FROM SEPARATE SCHOOLS Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 17. —Somemore ago we had before us heated arguments and newspaper controversies for our school, and we went to our veteran schools. To my mind, the veteran debaters and writers for the continuance of the separate school systems lost sight of one factor that has been the vital point in the encouragement of the separate schools which now exist. I firmly believe that everything in this world has its strong factors as well as weak ones. It is an established fact that the black man's existence upon this continent is of a value because he wishes it to be but because it is forced upon him and he is too weak to resist. We live under two standards: our value of loyalty to our nation and our values of ones. Everything presented to us as a group is a of a dual nature. Wherever and whenever we are grouped together in separate schools our education should be so directed that factors in our mode of living. We should learn more about our people and their work. What does the teacher need to know about Negro writers and their work; about the Negro in our American history; about the Negro and the national and international? How are they going to learn about them unless they get it in school or have completed their work there? Wherever we have the reins in our hands our education should point to the strengthening of our racial advantage of separate schools, a general and liberal education. Have Advantages I do not want to advocate of separate schools. However, since they do exist, I firmly believe that they have their advantages as well as disadvantages, their racial ideals and tend toward a firm race, racial solidarity, race loyalty and race love. It seems to me that our Educators lose sight of the strongest weapon that we have towards the prosecution of woe solidarity and ideals in our schools and man and use. Our educational policies should be formulated so as to embrace it: New Departures I advocate the creation of a department in our schools comprising such courses as: 1. Elementary Sociology including Race Questions, both National and International, current and otherwise. As a supplement to our American history part that the Negro played in it and which our competent white Historians have seen fit to omit. 3. As a supplement to our American Literature introduction of Afro-American Literature. Some may say the adding of this work to the curriculum of the school work a hardship upon the student, work in the curriculum as an outside issue and will mean more work in the curriculum as an outside issue that it is worth the extra time put on it. Our younger generations about their people and accomplishments, and it will do more than anything else to give them a much needed lesson while they are young and when they are old they will know about it.

Dec. 13.—(P. N. A.—Dector G. F. Murphy, a "hooose" specialist, who claimed the power to make martin knots stay for all time, and who, by virtue of that claim, expressed in a letter to a prospective client, got himself indicted on a charge of using the mails in a scheme to defraud, quarried out of the case in which he found himself Wednesday when United States Attorney S. E. Murray agreed to dismiss the case on the payment of costs. The officer" according to postal records, practiced his little fraud with some success—from a financial standpoint. There is no case on record of such" resulting from the case he prescribed. Murphy is alleged to have represented himself as possessing the supra-purvous powers and wives to strengthen his deserved spouses, never to stray from the marital fold. "Gurs" were guaranteed under $2 treatments, the amount of stocking, a handkerchief or any article of apparel belonging to the estranged one. The unseen power did the rest, or at least, Murphy. Murphy was dismissal of the case which was agreed to by Inspector V. V. Sugg, or the postoffice department. District Attorney Murphy explained that Murphy was guilty of both methods. This conflation, he thought, was sufficient punishment. Judge Ross told Murphy that his "endeavored effect reconciliations commendable, but your methods savvy, very questionable."

Yet his Mr. Garrett went into everything he did with his whole heart and energy. He was public spirited and a loyal Baltimorean. He was a delightful companion and could not say "no" to anything.

He married Miss Luthe Wallets on the 21st of May in her mother's 1839, wife son, and daughter, we taking care of our mother until death, and she died November 15, 1906. He was a kind and loving brother, always ready to assist me at all times. He was songwriter and sociable in his home, Christian at home and abroad, thereby sharing the house to all. I mourn the loss of such a brother, who was a brother indeed. I feel assured he is at peace and resting in the arms of Jesus. God does all things well.

LAD, CONDEMNED TO DIE, DENIES HIS "CONFESSION" NOW CONDEMNED LAD DENIES CHARGE OF RAPE NOW Awaiting Notice of Execution He States Baker Woman Enticed Him. Youth Says Woman Told Him To Return When Husband Had Left. Stating that his trial, alleged confession and conviction was a frame-up, Carrol Gibson. Easton youth condemned to die for an alleged rape on Mrs. Clara Baker, the wife of Norman Baker, a Trapps farmer, told his story in his death cell at the Maryland Penitentiary. Gibson, who is 18 years of age, and who is setting the setting of the date this execution by Governor Justice was sentenced by the Circuit Court Judge of Easton, to pay the both penalty, following a short trial for criminal assault. BF TILL 131 STORY According to Gibson, there was no result. He claims the charge of rope, the alleged confession and the whole trial was a frature in. On the night of August 27, Gibson said, he accompanied Aurel to Trappe in a Ford car. Before they left, according to his statement, Mrs. Clara Baker told him to return after he had taken her husband to the town. When he returned, he went to his room in the house and was called up by Mrs. Baker. After spending a while in the room, he left the house and went to a party some distance away. Later that night he was arrested by the shelter accompanied by Baker, and learned that Mrs. Baker had accused him of trying to accomplish his purpose. UNITED RELATIONS When asked, "the officers whether he had been in the room with Mrs. Baker, Gibson said he admitted the fact, but denied that he had committed a criminal assault. He stated that when he went to the room after she told him to come, he found her undressed, sitting on the side bed. At her further request, he stated, he spent some time in the room with her. Following the accusation, feeling in Lasson's beliefs at fever heat, he was rushed to Baltimore to prevent a hatching, acceding to testimony brought out in the hearing. Baker returned to the home on the night of the alleged crime, and found his wife on the front porch with a gun. She told him that she was waiting for Gibson and that he had assaulted her. He then went to the sheriff and sent out to the party where Gibson stated he was going, and arrested him. FOLLOWS ATTORNEYS ADVICE Before the date set for the trial, the parents of the accused lad, employed a white attorney from Easton to represent him. According to Gibson's statement, this attorney told him that he could not get him freed of the charge, but that if he would make a technical confession, he would get a shorter sentence in prison. The attorney decided to be tried before the Easton judge, rather than a jury. The piece of guilty was entered by the attorney and instead of the time sentence, the Judge sentenced him to be hanged. TO FIGHT FOR LIFE Parents of the condemned youth have employed local attorneys to make a light for the boy's life. The Rev. Robert E. Smallwood, who for some time has been a spiritual adviser to criminals condemned to be langed with the boy and has started a movement to have additional facts in his use reviewed. INTERRACIAL BODY SOON TO MEET Governor Ritchie's Interracial Commission, authorized by the last legislature to suggest legislation for the improvement of racial relations in the State, is expected to meet sometime next month.

From the organization of 83 members and one organized group of 900 grew to embrace three workers and an eradage monthly attendance of 4000. During the first year he was instrumental in forming and promoting a boys' brass band of 30 pieces, two basketball teams and a baseball team. Tournaments in boxing and basketball were also arranged and proved successful. In the fall of 1921 the organization became the Frederick Douglass Community Center and work for girls was added. Miss Louise Love, of Cornell University, and Mr. Bruce Highwarden, of Ohio Wesleyan, were invited to staff to take direct charge of the boys' group. Groups of boys and men were organized into gym classes, three basketball teams, two scout troops and a high school fraternity, while the girls and their gym classes, basketball ship clubs. For mixed groups there were a glee club and a dramatic art classes. Two lots were secured, their courts provided and, a tournment held. A six team basketball team, one of the feats of last winter activities and the girls' basketball team tied for first place in the city. The Community Chest Budget committee attested its pleasure at the success of this work for colored people by increasing its appropriation to $9,200 in 1924—the proportionate each year being larger than that granted to any other organization in the city.
