White, assistant secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has returned from Nashville, Tennessee, bringing with him a full report of the lynching of a 15 year old boy lying wounded at the point of death in a local hospital. Mr. White's report on the lynching, which he investigated for the N. A. A. C. P. Mr. White tells of a visit to the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church, of Nashville, where the boy, Samuile N. White, was lying in his coffin. The ear, as it was told Mr. White, by local colored people, was as follows: Beaten By Employer "Tuftil last May Sammile worked for a white man named Proste Lee, at Smyrna, Tenn., eight or 10 miles from Nashville. One day in that month Lee beat Sammile Smith. Sammile quit and went to Nashville where he got a job at the Atlantic Company. A summer he worked riving over his wages to mother to help provide for the mother and nine children. Wrecked On Road "On Friday, December 12, Sammie and his uncle went to Nashville the letter's Ford. Later that night he hurried along near Nolansville about 1 o'clock in the morning the car went into a ditch, turning over. Leaving Sammie in the ditch to get a new part for his car. When Eugene did not return Sammie went in search of him. He met Eugene on the street and he held a white man holding a gun on Eugene. The garage belonged to the owner of the gun and he had caught Eugene in the act of shooting him with you" "This boy with you" the white man asked Eugene. "Yes, sir." was the answer. "Then come along with me—I'm going." Shot Man With Gun "Samile whipped out a gun and fired. The white man returned the shooting Samile through the front door. Samile spent the night in an open field, being found unconscious next morning, when he was carried into the Nassau General Hospital. Though his wound was fatal, he was chained to the iron bed. After nightfall of Monday, a group of men entered the hospital, covered the hospital cussed with shotguns, searched the hospital ward to find the dying boy, commanded to get up, the boy could be chained to the chain which held him to the bed, chuck him out to the country, hanged on an oak tree and fired 40 or more of buckshot through his abdomen. Many Insults Mr. White declared the lynching game after innumerable insults and bites against the colored people of colored women on street, cuts, mutilated of a colored man by a local white creeper who has gone unnoticed, and the shooting of a militant, Mr. Lomotow, owner of a Kentucky kangaroo was acquitted of the charge of murder. Mr. White further reports that the Ku Klux Klan was the insult, scene of the lynching. Ask why the 15 year old victim of the job had been carrying a revolver, in every instance, used the same words to Mr. White: "The man." White Got Names Mr. White before leaving Nashville obtained the names of four men who called on Sammie Smith to talk to him and told him they would never live. I talked with one of the most prominent, colored men of Nashville, says Mr. White. "It mighty nice for them to offer a reward, but you think? I asked him. They mightly easily have offered a million, he returned cynically. They now they'll never have to pay any." Kisses Wife As He Pulls Fatal Trigger Ensley, Ala., Jan. 1—(A. N.

Institute Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 1.—(P. N. S.)—Charging cruelty and neglect of the students entrusted to his care and control, the Fulton county grand jury returned an indictment against the Rev. R. D. Stinson, principal of the Atlanta Normal and Industrial Institute. It is said the indictment resulted from a special report made by a committee of grand jurors who made a personal investigation of the school a short time ago, and complaints from the state department had made an unfavorable report regarding the conduct of the institution. It was claimed by the grand jury committee that Stinson was unable to supply any records of the institution, although he is accustomed to make periodical trips throughout the country, and especially in the states collecting funds for the school. According to the report of the grand jury committee was dislabeled as insufficient; housing and sanitation were in a deplorable condition. The beds were filthy, and vermin infested, and the food was insufficient for the institution, to properly nourish the students. Clever Money Solicitor According to the report of the department of public affairs of Atlanta have been given by Stinson as references, but investigation disclosed that the school did not give any information about the school except what they got from Stinson. Cruel Treatment Charged Several witnesses testified before the-grand jury as to alleged cruel treatment of the students by Silson and his wife,黛西. They said that little boys and girls had run away from the institute seeking homes and refuge elsewhere in the village, where they were their bodies, where they had been severely beaten. Enrollment Misrepresented Sitkson assisted to the special commissions between 180 and 175 at the school, but the special investigators were able to discover only 13 Buildings Delapidated The buildings of the school are in a badly delinquent condition, according to the grand jury report. It was also stated that the school has its own office for the institution for the 18 years, has acquired several acres of land in the Western Westes section, holding some of it in his own name and some in the name of the "trustees," although the local social secretary, however, that it was unable in discover any "trustees." Financial Reports Not Found The report also declared that no regular financial reports for the institution had ever been available. Kensington, for instance, funded the bills of his funds, according to the department report, also refused to name the bank in which his deposits were made. After declaring that the -sanitary school is bad and describing the conditions in which the students, living quarters were found, the report pointed out that the fire hazard is very great; the buildings being of frame construction, the oil lamps and coal stoves are used. The total enrollment at the time of the inspection by the state department of welfare was eighteen, the state department recommends in its report that Stinson be compelled to stop spending money for property while the institution suffers; that the students be taught the necessary conditions in the necessary conditions at the school be immediately improved.

A white woman said to have been for 18 years testified that she had her wallet stolen and was able to see. Another feature of the meeting was the giving out of ashes.

C., Dec. 29. — Notwithstanding his apparent disinclination, it became evident today as the Congress reconvened that President Coolidge will probably be forced to call an extra session. This Congress dies March 4, next. Legislative Jam The administration's program can hardly be completed before this Congress expires. A legislative jam has developed in the Senate. Since this session began, December 1, the Senate has devoted all its time to the consideration of the Muscle Shoals dispute. When this is disposed of, the Sterling substitute for the postal pay increase measure will blockade the passage of the supply The situation in the House is better. The lower body has as much weight as the upper measures, which must be passed during the remaining weeks of this session. When the Senate controversies reach the House, however, confusion is likely. Bathing Beach Repeal Sought To add to the legislative difficulties, it is reported that Representative Martin B. Madden, Republican, has proposed a House appropriations committee, will seek the repeal of the item in the second deficiency appropriations bill providing for a separate handling of the sum of $75,000 persons in the District of Columbia.

Colonel Sherrill, it is said, was called upon to produce the signed petition which he said he had received, produced, although it is understood that a delegation of colored persons visited Colonel Sherrill and told him that they preferred a separate bathing beach for Negroes. Representative Maiden now proposes to take the floor and tell the Congress that Colonel Sherrill, misrepresented the facts and ask for the appropriation for the construction of a separate bathing beach for Negroes. Sherrill Persona Non Gratla Unless Sherrill can produce the signed petition, he will hardly be reappointed at the expiration of his term. He is a North Carolinaian and has been seeking to inflict additional segregation since he became the officer. In charge of public buildings and grounds. His last contribution to segregation was a Jim-crow golf link in Potomac Park.

Hesitating near the side of the road the animal was grazed by the fender of the car, but was not believed to be hurt.

GARVEY APPEAL IS TO BE HEARD JANUARY 5 Court Is Only To Pass On His Right To Take Case To Higher Court Dapper Promoter Certain He Will Not Go To Atlanta Pen For A While. New York, Jan. 1.—The United States Circuit Court of Appeals will, meet next Monday to pass upon the right, of Marcus Garvey to ask for appeal from the decision of a lower court. Garvey was convicted of using the U. S. Malls to defraud and sentenced to have five years in prison for perjury. At the time of the sentence, by special request, it was reported that Leavenworth, Kansas, was substituted for Atlanta, because Mr. Garvey disliked the idea of servi- tive law. The state alleged during the trial that he headed a company which sold nearly a million dollars worth of stock in the Steam- ship Company. The stock was apparent- worthless. Garvey Appears Dapper Mr. Garvey was seen last week enroute to the offices of his attorney, Kevin Poe, for his Monday, U. S. District Attorney Mattuck, who conducted the prosecution in the lower court will appear for the government. Mr. Garvey wearing a salt and pepper overcoat, and a light fedora hat sported a cane and vandyke. He expressed confidence that he will win the right of appeal. What The Appeal Means The Appeal means, however, friends not so optimistic, declare that Mr. Garvey will soon be sent to a railway train bound for Atlanta or Leavenworth there to receive the wheels of justice but does not scutch them. Should he win, the case would then go before the Court of Appeals on exceptions noted during the trial in the lower court. Here is Friend's say that Mr. Garvey in acting as his own lawyer in the lower court was not as skilled as a practicing lawyer in having exceptions against appellate court will therefore undoubtedly confirm the action of the lower tribunal in sending him to the pententary. *Appeal Costs Money* When the tribunal sent Monday, it will have before it typewritten briefs of some three thousand pages which cost somewhere between $5,500 and $10,000 to produce. This is real money, part of which has been conceived by Garvey friends all over the country. COOLIDGE IS EXPECTED TO SELECT JUDGE Washington, D.

Now it is possible for those who feel "prenatually old" to become "rejuvenated and regain the "vital force of youth." often in a day's time, with Mando Formula, is the amazing statement of one who has taken the treatment. This famous discovery is bringing "renewed youth" and "strength" to thousands where everything else had failed. I want to say that my "lost vigor" was restored and "glands renewed" in twenty-four hours," says Dr. B. Peake of Kansas City, Mo. "Today I am 76, but I don't feel a day over 40. Before I started taking the treatment, I felt I was an old, "wornout" man; but now I am enjoying a remarkable "gland restoration" and am continued my "rejuvenation" is complete and permanent, May God's blessing test on the discoverer of such a boon to humanity." This wonderful formula, prepared by one of the largest laboratories in the world and generally known as Mando, is easily used at home and seems to work like magic in its rapidity on people of all ages and sexes. No matter how bad your condition, no matter what your age or occupation, no matter what you have tried, if you are lacking to "vigor" and the "total force of youth" you are so confident that Mando will restore you, that we offer to send a large $3.20 bot of money $1.05 on 14 days free trial.

Carrill, 634 Baltimore Bldg., Kansas City, Mo., and the treatment will be called at once. Use it according to simple directions. If at the end of 14 days you are not showing "wonderful improvement" four money will be refunded without question.

Noted for their "come back" ability, the Greeks went into the shoot goals from all angles of the court, much to the discomfort of the college lads. "Chippy" Taylor was high score of the evening, careful to have beat many different difficult positions on the floor. "Herb" Keller coped second honors by totaling 12 points. These two players required second shots to have beat the visitors but Butler, Rhodes Brown and "Jazz Byrd" Baskerville, who went in for Rhodes, added enough safety to keep the Wash- The Trigg brothers for the Alphas formed a rather good forward combination but were no match for the local losers. Deck McLean, Howard football player failed to register as all of his shots went or were "intercepted." F. Trigg was the star for the losers, making five goals while Whealand ran a close second with four. Athletians vs. Professionals The scheduled game New Year's night between the Athletians and the Louisville "Y" has been canceled and the Athletians have lost professionals, white. The Professionals played last year under the name of Hendlers. Baltimore fans will recall the great fight last year between the two teams, the Louisville lost homestead margin. The revamped Hendlers will present the same line up that caused so much trouble for the Manager Wright's boys last March. Harris Harris received a telegram from the Louisville quint week stating that they had to call the game off due to the fact that Washington and Atlantic City fell through with their contract. E. Morris, formerly Baltimore veterinary, is head of the Louis- ville team. ALPHA ATRENANS F 1 B 2 B 3 B 4 F 5 F 6 F 7 F. Triggs, rf 1 2 2 Bldges, rf 1 2 0 F.

NEW YORKERS SEEK GAMES HERE New York, Jan. 2.—The famous New York Legion Five are 'desirous of booking two games with some Baltimore team on January 21 and 24.'

The New Yorkers will leave on an extended road trip on January 6 and wish to close those dates before that time. Howard Has Post Season Football By Kelly Miller, Jr. Washington, D.

Despite predictions to the contrary, Douglass opened the season with practically a green backfield and with a preponderance ofexperiential and immature manners on the line.

The end came in the third round. After beating the boy unmercifully for two and a half rounds, the receiver stopped the boy and saved Libby from further punishment. Libby seemed to have gone back considerably, see his defeat by Lew Tennant a few weeks back. Although a terrific puncher, Libby is very slow in action in order to resume the attention of light promoter. To give our boys a show, he must develop stiffness to stay in front rank. MODELLE LOSES On the same card Johnny Moseley, another crack fighter was defeated by Joe Dundee, who have fought all met a hard customer in Dundee who could hit and stand up well inside of ten tensions, which was the limit, Dundee received the verdict and he was entitled to it. Moseley was impressed. It is said that Joe Libby has been trained to fight on the wrong side. His defeat by Rocky Smith showed that Libby has not cured this weakness. DEFENDERS WALLOPED GREEN DRAGONS 39-31 The Green Dragons suffered their second defeat in three days when the Wilmington team was beaten by the Community House Defenders Saturday night in the 85-31 score. The local team did most of their work in the first half which ended with them on the long end of a 30 to 12 count. In the preliminary the Yankees defeated the Red Circles in a fast game. The Campbell brothers were the outstanding players for the Yankees, getting eight goal goals each. ESTRIDGE LOSES TO BERLENBACH Fighting Under Handicap Of 13 Pounds, Harlem Slugger Drops One Sided Fight Madison Square Garden Was Packed From Main Floor To Rafters Who Cheered Loser. New York. Jan. 2.—Fighting under a handcake, Larry Estridge, Harlem middleweight, was knocked out in the second round of a 12 round bout at Madison Square Garden last Friday night by Paul Berlenbach, white. Estridge was, not disgraced. He gave the Astoria knockout artist, a handicap of thirteen pounds in the matter of weight and fought implicitly as he had been told to. His instructions were to keep away from Paul for the first five or two rounds, hold him off with a straight left. He tried desperately to do this but the plan failed due to the overwhelming power of Berlenbach's attack. Paul to other hand, was sent in to make a quick finish, and that is exactly what he did. The battle was seen by a crowd that packed the Garden from the main floor to the top-most rafters. There were 10 in attendance. There were $47,800. Berlenbach's weight was announced as 168%, while Estridge scaled at 153%. Both boys received a fine ovation when they were introduced in weight. Estridge was the taller of the two. Larry showed no great disposition to mix with Paul in the first round. Berlenbach should not receive too much impact, but fought impressively, and he looked a much improved man. But he was fighting a little fellow who was on the run too much to punch at him, and who could hurt him when he did. Estridge, however, went into the fight with his eyes open, and he had plenty of time to build himself up if he wanted to. There, however, is a strange angle. All the press and the media had not believed that Estridge was building himself up to within the neighborhood of 163 to 165 pounds, in which event Berlenbach would have had only three pounds on him. In which, Mr. Estridge comes in way under the middle-weight limit. Bleeding From Blows Larry Estridge died game. He was still on his feet and struggling gamely to continue the unseen comedy of his life, wisely stepped between them and stopped it. The referee took this timely action after Estridge, bleeding from his left leg, landed on the floor for the count of nine. He heard timekeeper Patsy Haley toll off the count of nine and then clutching the ropes, clutching the ropes. As he reached on upright position Berlenbach charged across the ring to deliver the finishing punch, but was warded by the referee, who told him that it was all over. WORKINGMEN!

He was over there 18 months and today the 309th is all the rest having been wiped out by German bullets. Estridge failed to live up to the expectations of the New York sports critics who said he was too tough for Berlitz. But the result showed that he was too slow. SCHOLARS WIN FROM DRAGONS Wilmington, Del. Jan. 2.—The Scholastics, of Baltimore, won the decision over the Green Dragons, of Wilmington, here Christmas day by a 31 to 11 score. The team was rough from the start, with the Dragons resorting to football tactics, but little things like charging, holding, pushing and hacking failed to stem the Scholars, who continued to pile up points under the pressure. Ailor, Ward and Brown all did the scoring for the Scholastics, while the close guarding of Jackson, Payne and Wheatley held the Dragons to three field goals. Jones was the outstanding player for the losers. On January 5 the Scholastics will cross with the Company "B" quint, white, at the New Albert.

At that time, once he explained that the players had agreed to cooperative plan, this league did not believe as the players had written both the league president, Rube Foster and the league as if whole stating their side of the controversy which in words was nothing else than Blount, called them into his office on September 16, and told them he was They played some barnstorming games, they admit, but say Blount even charged them on one other article, such games. In the September edition, a manual of uniforms. Ploupt Talks Blount was in the meeting at the time the charges were brought up. he knew of the fight that would be made on him. Blount was present two days later, owing to the joint meeting of the two leagues on Friday. A banquet was held Friday night and Blount suddenly took a notion of the fight and face the fight that he had "urgent business" in Detroit. He left either on a midnight train Friday or a Saturday night. Anyway, he was at the noon session Saturday nor at the evening session at the Indiana avenue address, which is Foster's office. Blount left Dr. B. Keyes, of St. Louis as his prey. The following clubs were represented at the meeting. St. Louis, Birmingham, St. Louis Giants, Cuban Stars (by proxy), Cleveland, Kansas City Monarchs. The Memphis club who was represented by R. C. Lewis was absent because he was for $500 and wasn't admitted into the meeting. Blount Void Out Blount It was his meeting that Blount was in his meeting of the league directing body as vice president and replaced by Dr. Keyes, his proxy. He was notified that he must pay players by January 1 or present affidavits after January 15, the league was his money. This was a bomb shell and Blount then came through with a scathing statement that he was out of the league and had been since September 15. The fans were outraged and insnasm as Blount came to Chicago and came with the fullest intention of remaining in the league, according to the league heads, but when he saw the league mean business he couldnt stand the pressure Re-elected President Foster forced the issue in the beginning. He wrote to the members of the league saying he was through. He demanded that all indictments due him should be straightened up before he would re- This forced Memphis outdoors. He returned the thousand dollars he owed to all members, minus the money he needed to make Dr. Keves chairman of a committee to examine the books on the league and make a financial statement and then offered his reservation. The league proceeded to dye as no one would second it. Foster was re-elected president of the Negro National League by acclaim to business. The league proceeded to the Kansas City club, the only white director in the western circuit, came forth and put his thousand dollars under under circumstances at present could things be improved upon. Foster is president of the western circuit, was chairman of the committee between the two leagues and was chairman of the joint session, having been nominated for the place by one Edward Bolden. He was also chairman of the commission governing the first colored world series.

There has been an attempt made by one Chicago sport-writer to make it appear that the result was dominated by a white man. There will be a Detroit ball club in the league in 1925. The park at Blount is not open. Blount is not it. The truth of the matter is that Foster holds a lease on the park signed jointly by himself and Blount and the writer of the lease. Blount is the owner of the Detroit park was in the city during the league meeting and held a conference with Foster concerning the lease in case Blount was forced out of baseball he was "doomed to get the gate." **Foreign In Two Years** Blount entered baseball with five thousand dollars, never using the entire amount. His rise was phelonous. He was the first two years. He was warned that he might strike some lean years. Baseball - men who had stood the graft for the past ten years loathe to believe of Blount's success. Then came the jumping to the east. Men like Warfield and Thomas got away from Blount, then Cooper and the Detroit fans began to fall out with the manager. He didn't stand to see and fall players became disgruntled at the treatment accorded them when they dropped games. This followed with the break with Foster this year and Blount out of the Negro baseball. The meeting January 31, the newly formed circuit and other matter pertaining to the western circuit will be given to our readers from the pen of a man who will be sent to St. Louis by honest account of what goes out.

NEGRO NATIONAL LEAGUE CERTAIN SAYS FOSTER --- Rumors Former Detroit Manager Ab BY ANDREW RUBE FOSTER President Chicago, Ill., Jan. 1.—Rumors from unauthorized sources have crept into several big journals since last week and disbanded. To all of this there has been no reason for such, it has never been done, nor likely. I presume it was some one guessing. I wish to set at rest any such rumor, the Negro National League will oppose it. I have consulted both the expert doctors of experience and finance, have let them diagnose the case, and they have been less than unanimous. The Negro National League is sick from causes of both ignorance and finance, but is recuperating slowly, the removal of men unit, with wringing their bills. We have asked the bills and were an honor to the game has made such progress, we the doctors called, say the patient is well, and only time to be more than ever. What Is Finance In Baseball The Negro National League was organized with the intention of first paying money due players from contracts. A deposit of one thousand dollars was exacted from each club. The players were sent their常ent bills, and when they did not pay the players, they had drawn it all from the fund to pay operating expense. I was president, I as president, did not care to do this kind of business. There is no club in the league, or in the league, nor not been necessary for Chicago to loan amounts into thousands to keep them going. This was the fate of Indianapolis, Cleveland, Memphis. Criticism Hastened the Move of Foster Grown tired of so much criticism and statements from men who were not as good as the players, I slowly but surely cut out of that luxury that once flowed freely, and then the greatest angel in baseball men's opinions, should be moved. My troubles began, and every little paper in the country listened to a lot of rot. I merely forced all the men to walk into the right side of the ledger. This step put matters in different positions. Blunt kicked in with $2385 in the first round, leaving some deficits. The amounts were so great, not one single club got five cents, the only exceptions were the Monarchs and the American Giants. Owner of Detroit Stars a Weak Man It has often been said that men oftimes forget their friends, but I am not sure how differently. If I favor a man it does not mean that man owes me money. I will not reprimand him, but I will not do anything for done for Blowt. If I had done one thing that he appreciated, I do not know what it is. He has not enough money to pay for a legitimate deal. By the articles he has been sending out, one would think that Blount owned or had paid for Blowt. Blount could not stand to have as much as some men now connexed in our league. His head would blow off. There are owners in the league who no situation has ever embarked. Not Worthy Blount writes 'that all the clubs are broke in the league because they pay Foster 5 per cent. Why does not he tell you what that represents? He said he paid me $1000 this year and I had collected over $100,000 the past five years. This is why they are all strangled by the rule of Foster. If Blount paid me $1000 why did he not say Foster gave me EARL SMITH, NOTED TRACK MENTOR DEAD EARL SMITH, NOTED TRACK MENTOR DEAD Honolulu. Dec. 31. Earl Smith, who coached the Punahou Academy baseball team, came here recently after an prolonged illness. During the time Smith was at Punahou he led the team to four interscholastic championships. He was known as one of the greatest track coaches in the country, with apparently poor results in several winning teams. He was born in Cayenne, Wyo. in 1832 and came into the limewater school district in 1834. Mountain district record for 220 yards. He was a product of Colorado College and distinguished him with a record for the track. He was injured in a landslide from which he never recovered. JUDGES SAY FLOWERS AND SCHOELL DRAW Buffalo, N. Y., Dec. 27. — Dipter Flowers, Atlanta fighter, and Frankie Schoell, white, local middleweight, hit to a six round draw here last night. Flowers was the aggressor at all times, constantly rushing Schoell to the ropes and corners, and knocking Tiger off with a singing left. In the third round the Buffalo man was punished severely by *Flowers* terrific body but could be knocked in the fourth and slugged to toe. The conqueror of Johnny Wilson tried for the knockout blow in the suit but to perish in the stillness. Flowers flipped 161½ and Schoell 151½. The judges called the fight a draw.

Did they tell you this? This Foster game cost $200,000. Fools and their money soon part, and because they could not handle the vast sums that came into their hands through Foster, they took a paltry five per cent wrecked them. The real reason is by contact I had found so much in my league unworthy of my money. I heart and nothing to do anything with. I did not feel like keeping on fighting a battle. Blunt Questions Foster's Honesty The paper this week said I was crooked in getting the lease at Detroit with Blunt. I did not tell the truth? Blunt could not get the lease at Detroit. The owner would only sign a lease with me. Blunt could not have it renewed, but had to send for me. Each agreement I drew There are many things at Detroit and every other place worth while I could get and Blount would not. I could not. I was luring because I made him check in his accounts. His money excites the people that love such. There are many men who wear their fortunes on their wrist and Brad street never hear of them. Blount May Have Millions I do not care what Blount has, he has seen it necessary before prosecution, the millions came in, has also found it necessary to use it. Yet there is no man living that will tell you he has ever seen the time or know of the facts. I have asked the favor of five cents from. I did not know the boys who are sure to get the axo would holier his money to put his money in their brains. To The Baseball Fans If all is said about me is true, which I wish it was. I have in five years put over $2,900,000 into the nation's largest bank time were any of the benefactors with ten dollars here to keep it going. If I have made $100,000 out of the nation's largest bank, I would jump for joy. I would call the man the nation's greatest financier.

On Christmas Day And all through New Year, may he Surround you Dru Will Open Many Avenues of Employment, Say Residents of the Western Coast Associated Negro Press Los Angeles, Calif., Dec. 31—The white people of the entire western border have been fighting the Nipponese because of the rapid and effective hold which they are acquiring on commercial and agricultural life here. Colored residents have been rather silent onlookers in the battle. Eastern Negro publications and sentiment have been remarkably favorable to the Japanese taking the pledge that they were being discriminated against on account of their race and color and that therefore they were entitled to our sympathy on general promotion. Out here, however, the shoe has pinched the colored brother's foot in much the same way as it has the white man's, and he maintains much the same position toward the Jap. arguing that the fewer Japanese, the more opportunities for employment for the native American. Certainly the orientals have proven their economic advantages to the few of the vegetable markets and truck gardens both retail and wholesale. They work late and early, have better produce, prepare and present it better, and in many cases under-sell and therefore get the business. Despite the racial antipathy which the white man is supposed to feel, when he can save money, he trades readily with the Jap and hires him as a servant where he comes in close personal contact. The Jap is a wonderful farmer, particularly when raising quick money products like vegetables. In a climate like this where irrigation is used the infinite care and attention which he gives, nursing each individual plant, working right on his knees, with his entire family, wife and children, working in the field with him, and is a part of all of them, ket at a price with which the whites find it impossible to compete. Japanese grocery stores dot the entire city and are numerous in the colored section. The colored and Japanese sections of the city furnish an interesting contrast. In Japanese town are to be found a number of attractive department stores, banks, two daily news agencies, a large number of other varied enterprises, while their power and influence in the white financial institutions of the city is marked. In Frisco it extends to the point of hiring Japanese girls in the white department stores. All of this is done with a population of less than thirty percent of the Negroes, whose achievements commercially pale into insignificance by comparison. The universal opinion seemed to be that while there was no particular entity between the black and yellow groups, neither was any love lost between them. The only interest in colored people, except where they became a possible customer. HAITIAN REVENUES SHOW PROGRESS Coffee, Cocoa and Grain Among the Many Exports Listed From That Country Washington, D. C., Dec. 31.—(By A. N. P.)—With sugar and coffee crops enjoying healthy conditions, Haiti's commercial outlook for the immediate future is promising, according to M. J. Meehan, Latin-American Division of the Department of Commerce. The commerce of Haiti for the fiscal year ending September 30, amounted to $28,872,450, a figure which does not differ greatly from the total of $28,748,985 for the previous fiscal year. Of this total, exports accounted for $14,176,322 compared with $14,151,212 for the previous year, amounted to $14,695,128 as against $14,157,968 for the previous year. Imports show few striking changes, the item registering the greatest increase beating wheat flour, from $2,250,600 to $2,830,487. This expansion in flour imports amounts to more than $1,000 imports between 1923 and 1924. This increase was caused in part by over-buying as there were considerable stocks on hand at the end of the fiscal year. Increases in food-stuff items provide goods for immediate consumption and do not indicate an improvement in the position of an agricultural country, such as Haiti. Any improvement would be reflected in increased importations of iron-and steel articles, machines and apparatus, construction materials, etc. and generals' items, however, in no cases were the declines of particular significance. The United States held its leading position as a supplier of Haiti's requirements, furnishing goods, to the value of $11,817,376, or $8.4 per cent of the total. The show was almost exactly the same, being 80.40 per cent. As in former years, France was the principal destination of Haiti's exports. her purchases amounting to $9,369,923, or 65.10 per cent of the total. She increased her share from 60.58 per cent the year before, while the United States dropped from 1.355 per cent to 9.83 per cent and from $9,369,923 to $1,329,261. Great Britain, Germany, Denmark and Belgium accounted for most of the balance their percentage differing little from last year. Total revenue receipts for the fiscal year were $6,760,000. Expenditures amounted to $6,340,000, but this includes a considerable amount paid on debts for past years which were not strictly chargeable against current income. Actual revenues exceeded estimates by $1,040,000. EXCLUSIVE COLONY IN CALIFORNIA Eureka Villa, New Realty Development of Group Near Los Angeles, California Los Angeles. Calif. Dec. 31. —Eureka Village is the name of a new realty development that is attracting the attention of Western Coast residents of the Race. It is located about 40 miles north of Los Angeles on the west Frisco and is incorporated, having has been planning with a pleasure resort venture. Nearly a year ago, Sidney P. Dones, one of the best know realists of southern California together with Assemblyman F. M. Roberts, Attorney Leroy B. Burnet, Hon. Ease Leroy B. Burnet, Eagle Eagle, others of their associates, among whom are Dr. Emily Childress, Rev. E. R. Driver, J. C. Banks, Sr. William M. Shelton, Ernest Bennett, Dr. S. D. Cottrell, Dr. William B. Humphrey, Charles E. Pearl, Mrs. Eliza Turner, Mrs. Ernestine Davidson, Dr. S. D. Cottrell, establish a mountain cabin retreat of the type so popular among white Californiaans. They selected a large trait of land admirably situated in what one of the members describes as "the most beautiful spot in southern California," had it surveyed, tested for water and of soil, and no one had thought. No thought of building other than a rendezvous for pleasure entered their minds, but the lots were sold so rapidly and so many of the purchases declared their intention of building permanent homes, that the spirit of founding a real city spread among the people, and the people going on at present in Eureka Villa is the result. Purchasers have not been confined to residents of Los Angeles but visitors from all over the state, from Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and as far east as St. Louis, Chicago, and as far west as St. Louis, Chicago, some having the intention of removin to the state of perpetual sunshine and others seeing an opportunity for profitable investment. COFFEE SHIPMENT TO SMITH COMPANY COFFEE SHIPMENT TO SMITH COMPANY Through the good offices of Hon. Solomon Porter Hood, minister to Liberia, the Smith Tea Company, of 1411 Pennsylvania avenue, received a small shipment of African Java Coffee from the African Republic last week. The coffee is the finest sample of high grade coffee ever seen outside the larger exclusive grocers establishments. Mr. Deaver Smith, president of the Smith Company, showed an AFRO reporter a sample of an unusually fine looking raw bean, and also a sample of the article after it was sold. The president says that the coffee is of surpassing fine quality, high in oil, which is said to be a desirable quality in the product. When prepared a decidedly delightful aroma is noticeable and the taste is exquisite. Centative plans are underway by Baltimore to form a company for the importing of coffee and other Liberian products. WEEK'S SURVEY LOCAL: Although the labor situation here in Baltimore is still below normal several new projects announced to begin at once promises to relieve the situation. The Municipal Employment Agency reports unemployment of between $8,000 and $8,000. With the coming of the cold weather last week Welfare agencies reflected the result of much unemployment here by giving out Christmas spirit undoubtedly relieved many cases of extreme want. Among some of the local improvements upon which Negro labor may expect immediate increase in employment here by the local harbor. Improvements of the local harbor with the expenditure of $800,000. Construction of an overhead bridge at the crossing of North Point Road and Pennsylvania Railroad City contracted to build a sidewalk on 33rd street in North Baltimore. Another project that may soon relieve common labor unemployment will be the proposed construction of aamps near this city to cost $7,622,000. Sales in stores reflected a slightly increased spending power of the group although there was a tendency towards economy. Two points stand out definitely as we enter the New Year. Factories and large platoons play a major increase in wages and there is no real hope of any immediate general decrease in the cost of necessities. GENERAL: Labor conditions outlout the country except in New York and some of the large cities, where there was much unemployment last week, show steady normality. In New York, however, the multiplied threats of the garish of men out of jobs on the Wall street section as a demonstration. Despite the much disturbed conditions in Negro business the pendulum seems to be on the upward swing. The sale of securities of enterprises conducted in the race has however, shown no noticeable increase. While the launching of the National Finance Corporation was accompanied by several large takings; many of the concerns that had secured him had practical use, them off the mark for the present. Several new concerns are announced among which is a national magazine project to be launched in Chicago. The announcement in this paper last week that the proposed loan for the Standard Life Insurance Company had probably not gone through has brought several scattering inquiries as to the gutture of that concern. It is our opinion that holders of policies in he Standard need have no fear and that their adjustments may come together tightening out the financial tangles, the policy holder is sure. "Frozen assets," comprising money invested in large real estate deals are said to be at the bottom of the Standards difficulties. Professor Allen Writes The Afro-American—South's Biggest and Best Weekly REVIEW 6 YEARS OF "Y" ACTIVITIES Nearly 2,000,000 Men and Women Have Used Building In This Time TO ENLARGE WORK Committee Planning Enlargement of Boy's Department and Wider Program On January 1st, 1919, the doors of the Druid Hill Avenue Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association were opened for business. Many people were dubious at the time about the successful operation of such a plant, whose program of activities covered such a wide field. The budget for the first year was $8,000, quite a jump from $1,800 the year before, but the committee, headed by the late James Hughes, funded by the late James Hughes, building, if operated properly, would meet a long felt need in the community life of Baltimore. Secretary Booker and the committee worked out a program of activities both for the building and for the community service. The committee secured a staff of secretaries, monitors and medics and planned the direction of Secretary Booker and ventured to put through a long dreamed of center for men and boys. How well this has been one may be shown in a brief way. Building Widely Used The building has been used to the earliest by all groups in the city, though tabulated, 1,371,000 people have used the building in six years. Four hundred and fifty different organizations have used it, not including the "Y" clubs. One hundred and eight thousand men and boys have used the swimming pool in four years. 105,211 persons have been housed in the dormitory; 228,800 youngsters have been housed; 36,160 different persons have been directed to homes, restaurants and railroad stations; 9,735 men have attended religious meetings and the life and the Christ; 15,785 men and boys have attended the Bible classes; 90,634 men and boys have attended religious meetings, and 7,020 men have attended socials. Exerted an Influence The building, through its staff of workers and through the membership, has exerted a tremendous influence upon the lives of the growing youth. This may be seen readily in the life of the boys who frequent the building. Discipline is fundamental and all the graces of Christian culture are brought into play through the leadership of Christian men. Numbers of men have united with the church, many have gotten a new vision of life from the lecture courses, health talks and personal interviews. The "Y" has endeavored to follow a clean-cut Christian approach at all times and making all men and boys welcome to its membership. Building Supported How well the building has been supported may be seen from the following facts: The membership of January 1st, 1919 was far below $60, when in 1920 it was $750 different men and boys have been members during the last six years. Again, the management came into the building with an indebtedness of $7,560. Much money was pledged to the building in 1920, after collecting. After operating six years with an annual budget of $21,500, we have been able to carry forward the work without any serious embarrassment. Today finds the "Y" with an indebtedness of $7,110, all of which has been pledged, until within the next three months. A Look Forward The present Committee, of Man-agement, headed by Mr. George B. Murphy, is conscious of the task ahead, and they have some ambitious plans for the future. The slogan of the Branch is "Serve Managers, serve building" and the present building is taxed to its capacity, the committee dreams of a larger structure with a larger program. On January 4th, 1925, the Man-agement, members and friends will celebrate the Sixth Anniversary of the opening of the building, and Association of Managers, honor of Ron. Aaron E. Malone, president of Poro College, St. Louis, Mo., the dean of social service. WELL KNOWN DOCTOR IS BURIED HERE Dr. John Robinson.

COLORED CHILDREN FEATURE PROGRAM University Of Maryland Gives More than 800 children, white and colored, cared for at some time by the University of Maryland Clinic, were given the treat of their lives Christmas eve at the Ford Theatre. Coming from every section of the city, some alone and others on the arms of the musicians filled the room of the auditorium accompanied by nurses from the institution and friends. Boys Have Band One of the features of the program was a band composed of boys of the clinic. Although without professional harmony the boys played with a rythm and beauty that attracted the attention of the growers, the band was followed this, a chorus of girls from School 48, white, who sang Christmas carols. They were loudly applauded. Alternating with the white children the inmates of orphan homes, conducted by Mrs. Lula Billiaps went on the stage and gave an entertaining performance. They were given by 10-year old Doris Perry and 12-year old Delores McFarland. HOLIDAY Heard and Seen In Baltimore We were not present at the time that Holidays were given out, but if we had been, we would have suggested that our Tha nk giving Day should be the first to be giving New Years. Our reason for doing this would give us a chance Ralph Matthews, to give thanks for getting out of the previous year as luckily as we did. This may sound foolish but when we consider all the unfortunates who died and those that got married we have a whole lot to be thankful for. We are about to make a survey of the important events of the year. We admit that we don't know anything about making surveys, but neither do the other guys who make them. A ginkgo ginkgo it his head that he wants to make a review, so he compiles a lot of statistics that the public doesn't understand and neither does he for that matter. In the annual crime it was reported that forty thousand dishonest persons operated in Baltimore during 1924, of course this tabulation does no include lawyers and politicians. Speaking of politics there was one presidential election during the present year. Mr. Coolidge won all of them. There was millions of tons of energy wasted poorly by Jazz Bands. They made us of the 'act that the city made great advancement in the field of music, they got rid of a lot of saxophone players. Prohibition enforcement advanced also. there are only twice as many drunken men on the streets now as there were before the Eighteenth Amendment was passed. * The death rate of 1924 in this city shows a death decrease. This is due to the fact that the doctors and underwriters have broken off business relations. Speaking of deaths, we met a guy the other day who said he missed his wife a great deal here of late. We asked him was his wife dead. He said no. The reason he missed her so was because he couldn't throw as straight as he used to. The literary field in the city shows marked improvement also. A number of local authors have gained renown in the gentle art of writing.

Witness Before Body Say Articles Of Diet. That the House of Reformation for those at Cheltenham may undergo drastic changes in control and management as a result of an investigation made this week by the Grand Jury is the belief of those interested in the work. Recommendation for stricter State supervision and possibly complete State control may be the outcome, according to some members of the Witnesses Testify The present investigation being made into the affairs of this institution is the result of numerous letters sent by inmates from time to time complaining of conditions here. In a recent letter to the Grand Jury an inmate complained of cruel and inhuman treatment. Besides back of proper food, long hours of work the letter charged that inhuman punishment was administered. Cots Broad and Tea Gos Bread and Egg Another witness before the body testified that bread and eggs were the main diet for most of the time and that the inmates were rarely on meat except from time to time in soup. The complains, it was pointed out were in line with former charges made to other grand juries in past past. Is Private Affair Cheltenham is a private institution and under the supervision of a private board of control. Under the present arrangements the Juvenile Court sends its wards there under contract. They are given work at the institution and at times farmed out to work for others. Former grand juries have made investigations and recommended charges but to date none of these recommendations have had any direct effect. Dr. George F. Bragg, Jr., a member of the board of bovermen, told me that he had not made acquainted with the charges brought before the Grand Jury except what had been published in the papers and woulk not comment at this time.

At the end of the pictures, Mr. George, the Supreme Knight, asked for a vote on the most enjoyed picture, "Our Gang" was unanimously chosen. Mr. George then called to the splendid relation ship and friendly group the little players in the comedy and reminded the children that the same goodwill should and could exist in their own neighborhood. After a short interval of speech singing and music each child was given a large shopping bag craned with the toys and supplies. The supply being more than enough, the remainder of the toys and candies were 'distributed among the outside children who throughed the lobby of the theatre. The Catholic institutions desire to publicly thank the Knights, who have thanked them 'proven' themselves knights for their extreme kindness to the children. ATHOLIC BUREAU TREATS CHILDREN Over one hundred-fifty children were treated to the Annual Christmas tree and entertainment given by the Bureau of Catholic Charities, under direct supervision of Anita R.

Heart trouble was given as the cause of the death. GOOD MORNING JUDGE Mrs. Bernice Collins, 554 Robert street, had the experience of not only seeing her watch keep time, but "run" as well Saturday morning. Hearing strange noises in her sleep she awoke just in time to see the form of a man whom she declared to be Winston Jackson, 1712 McCulloh street, making off with her timepiece which she had just gotten for Christmas. "She said, 'I just lay there still and did not move until I obtained a good description of Winston and then I set the police on him.'" Although Winston denied "the court order that Magistrate held him under $300 bail, Christmas Luck When Joseph Dennison, 8 East Hughes street, and Marvin Gill, 5 East Hughes street, alleged to have gone into a private railway car and taken a number of packages containing blankets and napkins. It would have been better for Gill, if they had opened them before making a decision. According to Gill when he left Dennison and opened his packages he found that he had all the napkins and Dennison all the blankets, with the coldest night in the year swooping down on him. More than this the possession of so many napkins with nothing to eat made his condition hard to explain and the police who took them to the station. "Judge," said Gill, "I certainly had some bad Christmas luck." "Well, don't worry now any more, for your and Dennison's luck will be equal now. I hold you both, under $500 bail. Got His Roads Mixed "When ignorance is bliss, it is folly to be wise," could easily be applied to the case of James Harris, of Norfolk, Virginia, when he told the Judge in the Northwestern Police Station that, he thought he was going to Sparrows Point when he had his way to Walbrook Saturday. "Your Honor," Harris explained, "I hired this man to drive me to Sparrows Point, because I didn't know the way and he carried me about 20 miles in the opposite direction." "What was the idea of the change of route," the Judge asked Amos Powell, 714 Linden avenue. "Well, Judge, I kind of got off the track," said Powell. "You "got so far off the track that you came near getting in trouble," GETS JAIL TERM IN TRAFFIC COURT Unauthorized Use Of Car Brings 30 Day Sentence To Walter Sewell.

Church Crowded Christmas Eve At Annual Treat To Children. Following their usual custom of the past twenty year, the Empty Stockings Club, of which Mrs. Ida Cummings is president, played Santa to a host of children that crowded the Metropolitan M. E. Church to the doors, Wednesday morning, December 14th. NUMBER LIMITED Although in previous years the Club has supplied as many as sixteen hundred empty stockings, it was found necessary this year to limit the number to eight hundred because of lack of stock. It was also planned that the 1925 summer "Treat" at the Delight Fresh Air Farm might be larger. Each child present seemed to feel that, as Mrs. Cummings expressed it, the gifts were given because they were loved by every member of the Club and there was gratitude as well as joy in their voices as they solemnly sang, "Holy Night, Peaceful Night," rippled, orphans, scantily had, faces pinched from cold and humer, gazed wistfully at the immense hoops and clothing given them thru owing effort, and more confidently use the refrain—"Christ, the Savior, is Born." Preliminary to the distribution of the gifts remarks were made by Rev. T. T. Berkins, pastor of Metropolitan church, Eva A. Jessie, of the AFRO and Rev. A. B. Calls, of St. Luke's epiphany. Miss Georgia Lawrence, a resident of several Christmas songs, delighting it present with the beauty of her voice. Recitations were furnished by two kiddies. The Empty Stocking Club with its sister organization, The Fresh Air Circus, has grown to be no longer a mere club but an Institution and an indispenisible part of our city, and the citizens of Baltimore realize that in the service of these ladies is the sacrifice self for the good of our future WE TAKE THIS OCCASION TO FRIENDS FOR THEIR PATRONAGE.

For a long story that will do more to assess his directive to a leadership, but it involves the leadership of Edward H. Wright, and his followers together with Oscar DePriest. Both Wright and DePriest have been political factors or wars. Both have been followed by others who are ambiguous. In fact, all know that if the Honorable Martin H.

He was shot October 8th, and left dying on the pavement in the West Side Gahre district. Two witnesses identified Otto Ebenstein, the leader of the mob. He was the one, they said, who struck Bell down with the knife the day before. He was arrested, Espinosa arrested, held to the grand jury on a charge of murder following the coroner's inquest and the district court. He is now released under bonds of $10,000 and is scheduled to appear for the criminal court, January 18th. The other member of the mob rebelled against the murder of Bell in Max Greenbread, a taxicab chauffeur, 1324 S. Spaulding street, December 19th, after the Maxwell street police had been reached for him for weaker information that he waged a siege against the police. Greenbread admitted striking Bell not with the knife and that Bell fell to the pavement from the blow and struck his head on the Greenbread. This caused his death, Greenbread said. Greenbread is being held in jail with a grand jury. This body failed to indict Living-Rockowitz, arrested with Epstein and that Bell was held as accessory before the fact by the coroner's failure. Following the coroner's failure to indict him he was released. EMPLOYMENT By: George W. Griffin The branch office, located at 344 E 35th street, according to its statistical reports of *this week*, shows that business is not very brisk. Although there is still room over the previous week's placements. The previous week, we only had 11 placement for the men and 25 for the women. This week they are 117 for the men and 60 for the women. This shows an increase of 22 women and 6 for the men. It has been for previous weeks we could not get a job of any kind. These days we are beginning to recel coats jobs; but it is as usual—their own job. That is always the way; when we have jobs they don't want them and when we can't get them, they say they will take anything—but coats. Many days, the men girt around the office all day and refuse all the jobs because they are outside and inborn; office closes, they come up to the desk and ask for money to get something to cat or some place to stay at night. I advise those seeking jobs to take the coat now, and the most of our work is outside and we all want inside. We have to take the bitter with the sweet desserts; but the sweet will come later. There are good many men and women out of jobs these days—many of them who refuse all there are several who refuse all jobs. The Yellow Cab Co. gave us an order for several women and could not get many to go back in his house because he lost most of his strange part about this case is that we have been begging the Yellow Cab Company or jobs every day and now we have to go to the women women will not go. When we land a job: my advice is to so act that the employer will gain confidence in us and increase our salary.

NO INTERFERENCE LOGALLY But In National Elections U. S. Constitution Will Be Enforced. Washington, D. C., Dec. 31.—(By A. N. P.)—Washington is celebrating Christmas, and that means that politics has stopped for breath until after the advent of 1925. It does not mean that there are not, here and there, confabs, but one hears this expression: "Well, let's go into this more fully after the first of the year," and after that time it must be. Then watch the fur fly. Here is the low down on some of the inside talk about the White House. There seems to be a surprised opinion that the racial newspapers of the significance of that portion of the President's address to Congress concerning the registrars, registering and voting of all citizens of all parties during the United States' Civil War. The President means just that, no more and no less, and this is regarded by close Administration men as the most significant utterance of a President in behalf of political Rights. No Interference-With Local Elections The administration will not seek to interfere with the local election laws of states, but in the election laws of states, the government is the Senate and Senate, and the election of a President of the United States, that is another matter. It is believed that the time it takes the government proposes to look into the matter of the Federal election rights of all citizens. In practically all of the southern states, the government, with carefully thought out and more carefully execution of the laws eliminating colored voters but allowing white voters, has intelligence, there is but one set of election officials, and they are all Democrats. It is the opinion of President Coolidge that the representatives at the polls. If all the voters are registered then the good government of the United States of America will look into the matter of interference, if there be Three Definite Reasons Now, there are three very definite reasons why this state of affairs has been reached. First, President Coolidge's executive encounters man, and it is a matter of much moment to his conscience that certain clauses of the Constitution have been winked at for more than a quarter of a century. The President feels that the Constitution is to be taken literally. Second, the argument that has registered with President Coolidge and leading members of his administration, to wit, does the United States have millions of the 14th amendment of the Constitution, or not one thin dime trying to enforce the 16th amendment to the Constitution? That question has finally registered where registering counts. There is no real answer except that all parts of the Constitution are in favor of the consent. That gives colored America a new day in political opportunity. It will be recalled that President Coolidge in his message to the time in his message to colored Americans be "cheerfully" be given constitutional rights, and he relectables on the almost universal opinion in this It will be observed that the President is going about this matter in the characteristic Cooley way without vindictiveness, ice, but with the right. It will not to forget that, and it appears as though those most concerned are "catching the hint." Democrats Busy Third, during the national Committee made a most vigorous appeal to colored America for votes. This appeal was sponsored by some of the finest minds of white Democracy. South said "marry a word" against all of these suspendous efforts; in fact, it is well known that many Southern Democrats "jolly good for the great great great." At the Belmont Hotel in New York and the Auditorium in Chicago, Eastern and Western headquarters respectively of Democracy, the colored Democratic leaders given every consideration, and treated more politically. That's an unimposed fact. In Pivotal States It is true that the efforts were directed into the so called "pivotal states," so to speak, but "votes are" votes like "dogs is dogs." Senator John Kasich, of Massachusetts heading the Republican National committee, and the cautious but comprehensive Honorable Calvin Coolidge of the same Back Bay State occupying the main wain in the Executive Branch, this isn't going to be no longeed "game." Do you grasp the deep point? Well, there it is. The Third Party is going to organize in Chicago in February, and the Republican election, in 1926, and another Presidential election, in 1928, and the Republicans, according to almost official gossip, are "calculate" on keeping the Democrats in power for the next twenty-five years. It will be recalled by old timers that it was sixteen years from Grover Cleveland & Woodrow Wilson, and thanks to the Republican candidates, Evans Hughes via California, it might have been longer. Here is a final sentence expressed with absolute knowledge: The White House has the highest respect for the people of this country; they are read there in large numbers to get a shant on Negro gentlemen; they are安置 thereabouts that the editors failed, seemingly, to grasp the deep significance of the voting rights in his latest message to Congress. Call VErnon 6016 Pastor Held For Murder New York, Jan. 2—Rev. Peter Bridges, pastor of Pentecostal Church, was held for homicide on the charge of running down and killing Mary. Neal, 65, white, in his automobile. RHINELANDER Kip Will Lose The fact that one of the parties has colored blood is not sufficient cause for the murder of a marshal in the New York State. To gain a separation thru annulment, there must ensue a defect that goes to the very essence of the crime, according to downtown lawyers. Just being colored is not therefore, a sufficient ground for legal action. Mrs. Brihncheider says she is white to the best of her knowledge, she is afflicted and has always regarded it. No Fraud Even if her husband proves that his father-in-law has colored blood and this is a grief on the paris Mrs. Kip, the court in refusing to annul the marriage will undoedure. New Yorkers say Mrs. Kip is a jack for refusing to accept $250,000 in money and allowing the annulment to go through without contribution. Mrs. Kip believes the case will finally blow over in a few months and if left alone the husband will be com- Lawyers At Odds "Are you going to attempt to prove the defendant has colored blood in her veins?" asked Justice Trowbridge. "Yes," said Mr. Jacobs. "Then," pursued the Court, "the defendant's counsel must have an opinion that involves considerable time and expense, and he should have reasonable compensation." Swainburge said he would be needed to him scan English and West Indian records as far back as sixty-five years to establish the ancestry of the tribe's nation. Fraud, which the defendant is alleged to have committed before the marriage," said Swainburge. Since the first papers he has submitted are amended summons and complaint which the defendant has not had time to answer. We are here ordered to answer. We have a bill of particulars and the other for counsel fees and alimony." Gives a Bill of Particulars. Mr. Jacobs at this point handed a bill of particulars to Swainburge. This document admitted that "sutile and insignificant allegations to plainture were oral." "The plaintiff has no expense," continued Swinburne. "He is at present living in New York and is headed to a third of his yearly income. They have offered to pay Mrs. Rhinlander's bills if she will send them to his attorneys. She doesn't want to pay bills. She wants to pay them." Justice Tompkins wanted to know how much young Rhinlander was paying his wife now. "She didn't want nothing," said her attorney. "Prior to marriage she earned her own living and supported herself. Since this separation suit was filed, she has been in fit health and unable to work. The plaintiff and the defendant have been acquainted for three years. He paid her market rent. In March 1922, he went away or was sent away and did not see her again until last May. Married In October "Thehen he renewed his courtship with great ardor from that time until October and November they were married," New Rochelle and then, on November 20, he left her." "Every bill forwarded by the defendant to the plaintiff his father was paid." "You don't consider that that is sufficient, do you?" asked the Court, "No, of course not." The defendant, then turned to the bill of particulars. "It shows," he said, "that the misrepresentation and false statements were made in the defendant's home." There is certainly no expense in that phase of it. It strikes your humble servant that the defendant's father shouted, "where he was born and what his father's and his mother's names were." In the moving papers there is not one direct word that she is of colored blood." Fraud Charge Denied "The answer denies the allegation of fraud." Interjected Judge Swin- In an affidavit supporting her plea for alimony, Mrs. Rhinelander told me that he met Rhinelander through an introduction in her own home in September, 1921. He called frequently, and his attentions became "persistent." Kip Denies In the answering affidavits Ribhlander and Jacobs denied this. Ribhlander also denied that he had played upon his wife's fears that she was seething over their wedding. "On the contrary," said the affidavit, "defendant was fearful of bodily harm, as against the bathroom of the house adjoining had been broken in by some heavy article, presumably a stone or rock, and that the following morning deponent was called his sister, who his sister's sister had received a letter signed Ku Klux or some similar name. Dependent denies, as strongly as words can express, that defendant's father and mother ever urged the plaintiff to cease his attentions or that they told deponent that they would marriage would turn out unhappy." Slytr-six Years Old The bride's father in his affidavit said his father's name was John Jones and that his mother was John Jones, 68 years ago in Leicester, England. "My mother," he said, "was a Caucasian of pure English descent. My father was a native of one of the British colonies" and himself will sail abroad next week in an effort to trace her fathers ancestry. MUST MOBILIZE IN WORK FOR CHRIST Motion Pictures and Good Taking as his subject, "Christian Mobilization," Dr. W. H. Moses, nationally known lecturer and pastor of one of the most prosperous churches of New York, delivered the hourly hourlong eloquent message that has ever been brought to that body. Among other things the speaker said: "One must mobilize his forces. Christ mobilized his forces and made the triumphal entry into New York. Now, the church made up of the common folks who are the first to recognize real greatness, however hidden it may be by physical curtain or political bloc. Christ sent two disciples after the mule that he needed in the process. They, no doubt, did not want to go. It is only human nature. Few of us want to do the apparently difficult mule. We use them, do not realize that it takes a bigger man to do a little thing than to make a big splurge. At the Last Supper He blessed the bread and wine and brought them wine and toasted them to cat of His flesh and drank of His blood. That we must do not literally, but we must digest His very make-up. He was humble, lovely meek. He was bravely brained but preached for the real Gospel teaches that men are brothers—high and low, good and bad. We are not safe until everybody else is in danger to scorn the cringing brother help him. To shout and get Religion is easy, but it is the keeping religion and shouting that is the difficult thing. Peter declared that he is the end but Christ told him, "THOU HAST NOT BEEN SIFTED." `Peter and the other disciples hurt Christ more than Judas, and expect our souls to be hurt, but when are forsaken by our friends it is a bitter drought indeed. Attacks "My Race" Talk Must Keep Abreast You must read and know the signs of the times. Christ said of Jerusalem, "O, that thou hudst known the things of the earth," and the same appes now. Do you know the way the world is thinking about religion, about your Race, about TOU? You read it. The The FIRE! You read it. The DeMille Picture, the "Ten Commandments!" Do you know what legislative steps are being taken concerning you? Do you know "The things that make for great West," it's high time you were finding out. Stop condemning the movies, go to them. A show is just "showing." It's showing what the white man is doing with his program over and moulding sentiment against you and in his favor—all the while you are fussing and fuming and know nothing about it. The "Iron Man" is the greatest West, the crowding out of the Indian, and the claiming of his land. The Indian tried the primitive law of machine numerical strength. We were told we had to follow the example of Jesus Christ. Christians Must Mobilize We must move as a mass, as a unit. If we could get three hundred thousand more students, the human unison, to give in unity what wonders could we accomplish. A Tuskegee, a Hampton could be built overnight. It would be a monument of the fullest possibilities. Individual protest is useless. We must mobilize. One step toward this mobilization and the fullest possibilities of the National Baptist Publishing House at Nashville. Tenn. It is complete in every detail, modern, effectively manned and ready to give service that a Christian race requires. Let us love our Race better than our race, the Human race better than OUR race and God above all the world.

How was can be seen from the fact that it recalls to abolish it.

Colored representatives on city, county and State Board of Education. 3. Equal salaries for equal work for school teachers without regard to color or sex. Carol—A Dance or Dance Music Carol—To Sing in a cheerful or joyous strain to warble, to dance and sing a dance performed in a circle, or accompanying it, a choral dance—Webster's Dictionary. Yes if they want to. It is their business and nobody's also. Persons accustomed to regard the Christmas season as a serious and stilled celebration must have gotten a shock from Dr. Hugh Birckhead Sunday when he declared that early Christmas music was written for dance purposes. The rector of Emanuel P. E. Church went further and described German carols as written in waltz time, French in march time, and the Russian carols in polka time. Commenting on the French carols, he added that there was no emphasis on the child Jesus as the son of God, but rather on the Bethlehem Babe as an infant, cunning, beautiful and unexpressibly dear. The early church, said Dr. Birckhead, emphasized the dance in connection with Christmas carols. How much dancing there was can be seen from the fact that it required three church councils to abolish it. Today most churches regard the dance as sinful in itself—a thing to be banished to the stage and the dance hall. St. Mark's Church, New York, advertised a dance interpreting the Scriptures recently, and drew down upon its head the ban of the bishops. How far the church ban goes may be seen also in the fact that no dancing is permitted in the Y. M. C. A.'s and the community houses. Church members dance, members of the pastor's family dance at home or publicly in dance halls, but as for church dancing, the thing simply isn't done any more. and Juries come and Grand Juries go, be- ment of Cheltenham, (House of Reformat- is) like Tennison's book, goes on forever ports of the last three Baltimore City G- out grave faults in Cheltenham and urge- shown that the place is unsanitary, that in less than three months schooling; that like convicts, that they are beaten by p- intendent. Grand Juries come and Grand Juries go, but the mismanagement of Cheltenham, (House of Reformation for Colored Boys) like Tennison's book, goes on forever. Reports of the last three Baltimore City Grand Juries pointed out grave faults in Cheltenham and urged relief. It has been shown that the place is unsanitary, that young boys are given less than three months schooling; that they are hired out like convicts, that they are beaten by guards, and by superintendent. One Grand Jury, of which Mr. Joseph P. Evans was a member, in a special report pointed out these things and in addition, urged that Superintendent Pyles, who is now physically unable to perform his duties, be supplanted. While the institution is privately managed, it receives aid from the City and State and Baltimore delinquents are sent there from the Juvenile Court. Last week witnesses appearing before the Grand Jury testified that the chief diet was bread and tea—seldom meat except in soup. These are the facts. Certainly Baltimore Judges cannot continue to send delinquents to such institutions' as cannot help them to become better citizens. Should Races Intermarry? "No," said Dr. Charles Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard, recently, and his view led the Boston Traveler, a white daily, to put the same question to persons representing five races. "No," said a Jewish rabbi. "I want our race ideals preserved intact." "Emphatically no," says an Italian—"I an jealous of the finer things of life, such as art, literature, religion, and the like which join the nucleus of Italian culture." Christianity—"it causes too severe a strain on family and social relations." "Unalterably no," says a Harvard professor, who admits that mixing black and white breeds more vigorous stock, but adds "the resultant stock suffers too much from prevalent social conditions and customs. Then finally came Rev. Walter Dorsey, representing the Negro. He is pastor of St. Bartholemeus P. E. Church, Cambridge, Mass. Says he: "We cannot legislate for the things of the heart. Love goes where it goes." In other countries it is a very usual thing for people of different races to marry. It is not wondered at in any way. The emeritus of the Nation is endowed by an unreasoning and iniquious prejudice that blurs the vision of the nation and makes people see only in terms of color and race. Character means nothing, integrity means nothing. Race and color are the twin forces. Marriage is a sacrament. It is too holy an institution to be traduced by the base prejudices of anybody. When God, through His church, joins man and woman together, we break the power pretentious as their war of nominality. Such means nothing to him, and the more the sons of God see his light and leading, the less will the imaginary barriers of race separate his hunters and hunters in the vision of a real brawny man when goodness will be the password. Rev. Mr. Dorsey is the only practical philosopher. The others, idealists, blinded by sentiment, paralyzed by public opinion, show themselves through their utterances as unmindful of history and of fact. Or supposing we admit with the four blind persons that races should not intermarry, what are you going to do about it? The Negro, the Irish, the French, Jew and Italian are so mixed until we can tell where some of the Negro blood is, but for the others we have to guess about it. There is too much ill health, too much catching of everything, including the lagripe, that happens along. Not a disciple of the spiritualist or even the cult, "better and better," we are, however, a firm believer of not lying down in the road and letting the stylish or prevalent vehicle of disease run over us. There are simple rules to follow. Have a clean conscience and open bowels. Take a bath at least twice a week, whether you need it or not. Let a little fresh air in the house. Do the Daily Dozen exercises every morning. Don't worry and remember your stomach needs about as much care as the furnace. When the latter is clogged up, you have gas, clinkers, soot and no heat. In such a case what do you do? Poke it, shake it up, stir it up, just physical. Did you ever stop to think that your stomach and bowels need poking, shaking up, get out the clinkers, "grip" and several more of these relations? Cheltenham Again Health of women who had waded through gory battlefields to glory, real history would reveal many bloodless acts of war against anyone for beyond any battles won by men. The way that women do things as contrasted with how men accomplish is interesting. Their force is not as strong as they are, but they have been the real radicals. They do not flinch before hooded night riders, and when their instincts show them the way they pursue it despite opposition and the very "gates of hell do not prevail" in their defense. Except in the matter of dress and a few other artifices with which they sway the destinies of mighty man, they do not give a snap of the finger for tradition, precedent or public sentiment and herein is where their sent value lies. The world must Maryland Races The ladies and gentlemen of Maryland passed $51,000,000 thru at Maryland race tracks. Those familiar with the situation say our group contributed a considerable amount of this vast sum to the god of chance. There is always something stimulating, fascinating as well as tragic in the sport. We are a monied class fully able, to enjoy the sport there may be no harm done in race betting, but it takes a heavy toll among the middle class. As a form of sport there could be nothing more tensely stimulating than seeing horses and kings. It is one of the State of Maryland will come to the conclusion that the price paid day the State of Maryland will come to the conclusion that the price paid much to take under its official wing. Even this $51,000,000 does not represent the actual amount spent for the bookmaker, also sold out and also a institute of vice, that reach deep into the lives of young men and, sometimes women.

The Afro-American—South's Biggest and Best Weekly THE BLOOD WON'T COME OFF! DAY BY DAY WITH WILLIAM N. JONES situation where this form of gambling is tolerated, even condoned by some churchmen and leaders who would raise their hands in holy worship and a straight arm game of chance. Women's Bloodless "Man has generally accompanied his conquests with his armor, and nights with her heart and soul," said a prominent woman speaking with him this week. PETER B. Philanthrophy And Real Givers Men and women of the race interested in education and in many reasons of late to rejoice in the generosity of wealthy enfactors who have given their This woman re- called her husband a pro- minent places are not dot- torial. She is not boho. Along with this rejoicing, however, should go a serious study of the consequences of this giving us a relatably helpful educational policies economy. No one who has any knowledge of the development of education in the last decade and now in the last fall to see the far reaching influence of big donors on methods and philosophy. A certain type of educational institution has been built in the South and while the new education may be just as good, the point is that givers of large sums influence the kind of education our boys and girls are to receive. Less than 10,000 years ago the place of woman in the human family made it seem perfectly alright for a man to see a woman in a dress, mired, knock her on the head with a club and take her home as his wife. She did not stop it by knocking him on the head with another club, but she did not stop it by knocking her with a more powerful weapon. When it is understood that after all these men of great wealth and influence are not really giving money, but a lion on the labor of men and women, the deeper consideration is surmounted. More than that she went into the home this same brutal man who had been a world childen with different ideas, so that today her ad- vancement in the life scheme she built was the political arena and lick the most astute male politicians in the biggest state in this country. Take for instance the recent big donation of James B. Duke. This gift represents securities, some of which are from the industry. When you smoke a cigar, cigarette or the old pipe, Mr. Duke cuts off a small percentage for this donation. The donations are based on labor to be performed and the main point is most any of us could truthfully say that we helped give that money. The fact is we have an economic system where some men may be better off than others, so much shall be taken from the labor of certain groups of men for their education, and this in itself is not a bad idea so long as we ourselves would not so mend the money. But it also should make it certain that the use of their own money this way should be in the true industry. We have masses and the kind that will make and keep them real men. Certain gentlemen who have perfected certain political ideas in the distribution of political preference are finding this very thing out since women have come into such a big part of the world. 15 Years Ago The hope of mankind has always and perhaps always will rest in the bloodless conquests of women. --- Items From The Afro-American of January 1, 1910.

PROFESSOR FUDGE Annual Associated Negro Press Survey Mirrors Achievements of Year 1924 Baltimore Society Passes Some people want to know why there has been no success in manned missions in Baltimore. Some other people have advanced reasons. These reasons have been made and some have been quite plausible. A Some say the most of our alleged big men are too cheap to shell out any real "kale" for these social brawls. Others depress "that we actually have so few big men impossible for them to make an im- However, every question has two sides and the other side will not stand for these union men, but for the union man told me we actually have quite a few big men. Says he, "we have some men at least six feet tall and weighing from one seventy-five to two hundred pounds" and we have considered the big head men. There are two kinds of big head men. Those who wear a hat over their head and those who wear a cap or a portcushion can be considered big head men. The last named lot is a legion with a day. But all this is neither here nor there and has no real bearing on the subject. Why do not the big boys do their "stuff" at least once a year. Recalls Tuesday Assembly Once upon a time they used to put it on heavy or at least as heavy as they could lift it, they used Baltimore and the Tuesday Assemblies. Twice a year around Easter and Christmas these two bodies had their ding. It took them six months to prepare for the great occasion and often took two years to collect the back dues. As I remember the tax was about three bucks per head and the gentleman, a gentleman, out of town people were invited without much ado but the locals had a hard time to break by the Boards of Governors of the two organizations. The boards deliberated at length over names, in fact to a greater length than congress deliberated over the bonus. Each year some young adults was told they were young people who were snubbed. To tell the truth the boards got a great deal of kick out of breaking young girl's hearts. The Boards told the girls that the girl girl had to be barred. In their eye light beauty was an evil. That Starlight Outing However, the big social events came off or went off each and every own knacks. The muddle towards all policy which permeated the Baltimore Assembly was its undoing. The Boss got to town and the "coward" came from far and near and in time dissension blew up. With the Tuesday Assembly it was disallowed. Day Assembly did not see fit to combine itself to the ballroom. On one occasion it became so presumptuous that on the Steamer Starlight and it did. Colored America is better organized than ever before. Interlocking, group leadership is key, giving the time is here when Colored America can send an effective message from one end of the nation to the other end of the nation through various organized bodies. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People remains the most potent force in the nation. Intelligently officered has sought more than ever to reflect the will and aspirations of the people, and plead the cause of the people. There has been some bold criticism concerning the political activities of association officers, but these organizations have the right to exercise personal preferences, and that the organization, as such, is never used for political leadership throughout the country agreed that the Association has a well defined purpose to serve in behalf of the distinct advantage of the general public to continue loyal support. Business League The National Negro Business League held its twenty-fifth anniversary or Sixth Jubilee in Chicago this year. This is the largest attended session but the most constructive. Final reports were heard from the committee organizers of the league. The organization, a $1,000,000 institution for relief of racial business enterprises in times of distress, and the encouragement of commercial growth. This is a very successful session in Durham, N.C., where the home offices are located, and the results of this session be seen in the coming events of 1929. The National Urban League, in another sense, acts as a liaison between the two racial groups largely in industrial and welfare matters. This is the future of its work, is confined for the most part to activities in large centers of population. It serves these centers well, providing training, training and opening new opportunities. The contacts in these respects have proved invaluable. Sanhedrin The Negro Sanhedrin, Dr. Kelly Miller, president, held a session in Chicago in February. This meeting was the result of numerous conferrals of national organizations and other leaders. It was well attended and representative of the present day viewpoint of the majority in colored America. The report to the council of officers of that out, that will put the group in a fair light before the world, and will open up new fields of opportunity and cooperate effort with the community. After action of the Sanhedrin has not been as aggressive as many had hoped, but Dean Miller has very recently informed the Associated Negro Press that a national understanding and unity of action will give power to the growth of any people.

Brown, and was in business to do business, not to give free excursions. He asked for his money like a gentleman, but didn't get the Captain. The Captain to court and this was likely the cause of the collapse of the dignified and refined but unfinancial body. The Tuesday Assembly died of Financial Meningitis, while its brother in bad bills died of petty larceny blickering. Anyway, they are both dead. Half Century Club Now we have what is known as the Half Century Club. The Half Century Club could be more financial if not any better generalized, but the club is where the carburetor needs to be carburated or there is too much difference in the differential. The thing just works. But what is the real cause? As I hawementioned before many reasons have mentioned before many reasons discovered the real trouble. As quiet as it is kept the men are not really The gentlemen of the Half Century Club are suffering from undue rock on the cradles. Many of the ladies are kicking upon the Big Balls because too many young good looking single girls are invited. Can you be the ladies to have kicked upon the squawk to no avail, so if the fair dames can't be kept out of the club they should be in their local section. They would rather stay home than enter into any such strong competition. John Barleyron Still Lives Christmas Eve and Christmas Day have always been days in the cup, induces freely in the cup that cheers. Even a policeman will go a long way with a "John" on his sins. When the Ark and the Dove first sailed up the Chesapeake Bay has there been a time in this grand old State of Mary, when part could go to the sea, to the saltwater. Even the Anti-Saloon League, the National Prohibition Act, nor the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, has been put in the bunglehole in the commonwealth. In spite of the cry of "down with liquor," the thousands are still putting down used to be nor is it what it ought to be, but at the same time in the eyes of many it beats a blank. While it is true in many cases when the toilet goes down the Virginia comes up, yet they are still sending it down. **Christmas Quiet** However, this one Christmas Eve was about the quiet ever seen in it, the quiet not because it rained and it the stock was insufficient. The fact was bucks were low, very low. For once the bars could not get vanilla avenue is yet the harbormaster of the city for noise, cheer and all around tipiness. On Christmas Eve it was as quiet as a mouse, even the door didn't get its customary action. ed Negro Press Surv achievements of Year of both, organizational suet men's Clubs, association Society, giving their in the racial favorable and optimistic. Some have claimed that they are too pretentious but the general opinion seems to be in line with Emerson's urge to "Hitch your wagon to a star." Larger political participation everywhere is the prospect for colored America. ready for a large degree of both. There are many other organizations that support the appreciation of Colored Women's Club, the National Medical Association, the National Recreational Society, and other proving their increased affiliation to the group. They are not mere paper bodies seeking occasional publicity, but they are well organized, function- assistance to a people's development. The year 1924 is outstanding for the construction of new buildings by racial capital, and by co-operative American progress. These buildings range all the way from, one story stores to twelve story-sky scrapers. These buildings of pythias, building now in context of erection in Chicago at a cost of more than $1,250,000, to the national headquarters of the Knights of Pythias, a structural structure ever undertaken by the colored people. The architect, contractors and laborers are colored. The Elks in New York, the Elks and Men of Union and Knights of Pythias in Hot Springs, the Masons and Royal Circle, in Chicago, have recently completed, or have under construction. Many universities and colleges have erected new buildings; there has been, seemingly, no end to the number of new buildings, the matter of new church structures, New York leads with the Abyssinian Baptist, St. Mark's Methodist Episcopal and Mother Zion A. M. E., the combined cost of the three structures is about $200,000. There has been a decided increase in the construction of individual homes and apartments in the cities. Political Development Colored America has had an unusual way of political activity. In a national way, all of the big parties including the Democratic and Republican vote of racial citizens. The manner in which these votes were sought discloses a new day, politically, for the race. President Calvin Cameron is in trying to prove that he is president of all the people. He has counseled with colored leaders from all sections of the country, and his attitude of fairness has been reflected in his actions. He has made from time to time. The nomination of a Republican member for Congress in New York, who was not elected, and the election of a Democratic member of the State Senate and four members of the House of Representatives in the legislature of Illinois, are outstanding achievements. Many of the State Senate sets are other States electing members of the legislature. William C. Matthews, and his associates, the Republican public campaign, have prepared a group of seventeen requests to work out for racial advancement during the coming administration of President Obama, and the request have created nationwide comment, the most of which has been Half Century Club John Barleycron Still Lives Christmas Ouiet Erection of Buildings Political Development AMOS HOKUM SAYS A No Fatima, not all designers of evening gowns and bathing suits come from Missouri.

THE FLAPER'S RUBY AT A A box of chocolates underneath the Racial Publicity In private comment, a white business man wrote to a member of the group in his employ: "What the business man wrote to a great salesman, one who will sell the race to the Negro. When this is done watch his smoke. That is regarded as a great success." It is believed there should be another great salesman, one who will sell the Negro to the white people of America, salesmen are being developed and they are a biner understanding today of the achievements of the race than ever before. There is yet much to be learned from the extensive publicity engaged in by leading business firms, the high tone of their advertising that money expended for publicity is an investment and not a charity. Great national advertisers have discovered almost virgin field in Negro business. Perusal of the colorful advertisers who a few years ago actually laughed at the possibility of black business, are now expending thousands of dollars a year in encouraging it. Colored America has been the most successful business has proved to be an excellent patron, with more money that it was though it had to expend for the necessities as well as luxurious items in some of the advertisements, with illustrations, has greatly improved. Newspapers, Magazines And Books One unmistakable sign of progress is measured by the amount of reading a group may engage in. By this measure, the number of newspapers associated percentage. The circulation of rural newspapers throughout the country, speaking generally, has increased more than 300 per cent in the past five years. The increased circulation, and incident strengthening of the treasury, there has been a splendid increase in the type of the newspaper. This development has led the city editor of one of the largest daily newspapers in the world, wrote the following to a member of A. N. P. staff recently: Let me congratulate you on the big strides you are marking in good journalism." The author of those lines is Robert M. Lee, a member of the big strides of America have colored men, and women, on their editorial staff. The race has not yet reached the progress in magazine publishing that the newspaper is publishing.

Survey Year 1924 Magazine publication is expensive, and must be supported by advertising. It is believed that has not far awaived for colored America. The big magazines of the country have turned toward colored American subjects both in fiction and narrative, and in fiction, from a viewpoint, from a age indifferent." It has been difficult to find a writer who could properly present the true racial viewpoint, and if he were able, his product would be more successful after, all it is a matter of more rather than sentiment. There have been many books this year dealing with the Negro. Sales of this class literature, by authors of both races, have been constantly on the increase. Labor Conquers All Things In the field of labor, colored America continues to be a factor in practically all sections of the country. But there is a demand for more efficient but there does not seem to be a lift in the opportunity for layoffs in immigration, and, second, to the increase of prosperity which calls for more workers. Therefore, to increase the number of the southside in 1925, but a further migration will be on a different basis than hereforest. We are earnestly striving to dissipate the arguments against migration especially to the citizen, and on the subjects of education, and on the municipal facilities. The central movements of the South have been very helpful in broadcasting this new spirit in the community. The central developments are all the most remarkable in the face of invisible efforts of invisible organizations directed to the people in harmony. There are many who have the courage of their convictions, ever, and their ideas are reflected in America's never taken over kindly to labor unions, as a group, and in this respect the workers are largely in a state of marking with numbers, with laborers not with polypion. Farming Standards Improving Farms, owned or leased, by NEGrees, have been a big subject years, especially in the successful farmers in the race but the majority have been handicapped either by knowledge of business methods or unintentional being maintained that even in the matter of farm loans Federal government agencies have treated with even the same justice as other farmers. There is a new tendency fair to the Negro farmer. There are lands in South, where the land is leased, but public information on this kind of injustice being so well developed the new day is looked for in farm development.
