The battle is important in history not because the Americans under General Jackson defeated the British, under General Packenham, but because it is the only important battle fought by the Americans, who signed by both contestants and in which the commanding general of the opposing side was known to have been killed by Negro sharpshooters. The treaty between England and the United States was signed December 24th, 1814. It took a month for the news to reach General Jackson so that the battle was over 15 days before he heard of the treaty of Packenham's Charge H. O. Bishop writing in the National Republican, gives the following account of the battle in which General Pakenham, the British commander lost his life: "The British marched up in solid Philantha with a front of a hundred men, their bayonets glittering in the sun, which had then began to pierce the morning mist. Now for the first time, the soldiers took step, with General Gibbs on the right and General Pakenham on the left, the Highlanders, in clear and imposing view, advanced into the fire. Oh! the slaughter that the ensued! There was a moment when that 32 pounder, loaded to the muzzle with musket balls, poured its deadly bullet into the head of the column, literally levelling it with the plain; laying low, as was afterward computed, two hundred men. The American line, as one of the British officers remarked looked like a row of fery furnaces." Colored Man Fired the Shot. In a personal letter to James C. Cox, the author of this description of the death of Pakenham: "I heard a single rifle shot from a PRESIDENT KING OFF TO VISIT SIERRA LEONE Freetown, Sierra Leone, W.

Denning In Reply To Dean Miller Holds Out For Photographs DISCRIMINATION ABSENT Appointments In Civil Service Made On Basis Of Merit Only Washington, D. C., Jan. 3. (Afro Bureau) — Adoption of the finger-print method of identification in place of the photographic by the United States Civil Service Commission is impracticable says William C. Deming, president of the commission, in reply to a letter from Kelly Miller, dean of Howard University. He asserts that if there is discrimination against colored persons in appointments to Federal positions in the civil service, even the abolition of the requirement of identification end it. He points out that eligibles are required to report for observation and before appointment are made, and period of probation before an appointment becomes absolute. In his letter, Miller had not necessary for identification of the applicant. The only practical purpose served is to exclude the applicant whose face shows pigmenta- Full Text The full text of Mr. Deming's reply is as follows: "My dear Dean Miller: 'I have read with interest your letter of December to be eno question that identification is necessary in connection with examinations for the Federal civil service. The Commission's experience before and after the requirement of photographs has "Your understanding of our problem is evidenced by the statement in your letter. I fully appreciate the necessity for proper means of identifying appraisal complaints, personalation and information. I thank you for your assurance that you do not now and never had lodged complaint against the Civil Service Commission and the Commission of Justice. I am of photo-essay because it seemed the only effective and practicable mans of identification. Requires Expert Service "The use of the finger print system requires the services of experts. The Commission's experts are made at approximately 3,600 cities and towns, sometimes in rural communities. This session will focus on the finger print system by the Civil Service Commission. We also hold examinations in the Philippines, Hawaii, Hawaiian Islands and Alaska. We have applicants representing many races, including Indians. And we have 'no record, as to the number of colored employees in the classified service, from our general observation throughout the number is growing every year." No Discrimination? "Of course, there is no discrimination against NGOs in the examinations. The Commission does not discriminate in appointments. If, however, appointing officers do, as you say, discriminate against NGOs now, they could also do so. If you are an NGO, you were set aside altogether or if some other means of identification were substituted for photographs, you would be eligible for the eligibles are certified for each vacancy in order that the appointing officer may exercise his prerogative of choice when making appointments. Appointing officers, before definitely making appointments, usually endeavor to acquaint them concerning the eligibles certified, beyond the eligibility requirements of the institution-papers-and-the application. "Where the eligibles live in the city in which the appointing officer delegates to the office, whenever they are required to report in order that they may be observed and questioned; where they do not live in the same city the appointing officer delegates to the office, whenever it is practicable to do, whenever it is practicable to the duty of interviewing those persons who are certified for appointment and who are not appointed to the office. There is also a six months period of probation before an appointment becomes absolute. All this makes for efficiency. "The use of photographs by the Civil Service Commission for the purpose of establishing identity and preventing impersonation, apparently is the only available effective method." "The Negro race has made tremendous saddles forward in every line of human endeavor. In all life activities permanent on earth, we must gain knowledge of facts. I take a most optimistic view of the future of the colored race and congratulate you upon the great work you are doing at H. ward University."

S. S. CAPTAIN MURDERED TWO OF HIS CREW Liberian Government May Ask Investigation Of Death Of Its Citizens Actually They Only Protested Against Short Rations And Bad Water. Freetown, Sierra Leone, W. A., Jan. 8.—The Liberian government is expected to ask the American government to investigate the killing of two of its citizens employed as seamen on board the steamship West Irmo last month. One side of the reports sent out indicated that the men were killed for mutiny. Other reports from eye witnesses now available show that the white master of the ship shot the men for protesting against the short rations, bad water, segregation, cursings and beatings administered members of the crew by the captain. Mars came to a head when the captain beat up and kicked one Jim Boye, who was so hungry at 9:45 a.m. that he left his post to get soiling out. Members of the crew elected a delegation and went to the captain's office seeking amelioration of conditions. T. Nyeka, a member of the crew, describes what went on. "Sacker, alias Peter Howard, was denounced speaker, and Davies Scott (one of the deceased) known to the public. The captain came out and inquired what we wanted and we announced our intention whereupon he drove us down. We accordingly started down but there were problems with the process was slow and while they were awaiting their turn Davies, Scott and Walker Weah remonstrated with the captain that they wanted a betterment of things. The captain emphasized his order and as the men were still speaking to him, we heard the report of a pistol and Weah who shot the captain and he was unsuccessful. The second headman, who had come to the scene by the time ordered Davies Scott to go down. The captain then rushed into his room and brought out two handcuffs to 'summer Weah who tussled with him and wrested them from him. The first gunshot, reported the circumstances to the headman and he ordered him to go to the chief steward for dressing. While we were with the chief steward, Davies Scott closed with him but the third mate came on the scene and held his hands back, whereupon the captain shot him on the stomach and turning round finished Weah, who was dead. The captain, name unknown, was said to be a tyrant, beating and kicking white members of the crew as well as the colored. Both of the men were taken to the hospital. So far no action has been taken. Explaining that the treatment of sailors on American ships is the worst in the naval service of the country, Nykaa declared, "Even in the ships of the other local shipping companies, similar treatment is accorded us and there is a different burden on the white crew and the black crew, due regard of course paid to position. On the other hand, in all the Bull Line ships there is multitreatment of the worst sailors, and it is only for livelihood that we go on them. Revolvers are common property among the whites and threats to our day language. The ration is poor; there is, segregation and we are confined to only one part of the ship except when working and we are supplied with bad water." Must Work Or Mind Children Gloucester City, N.

Y. woman whatsoever; he is his wife; she is evidently of good character or his dear daddy's filthy money would have muck-raked her 'long before this.' And so this chap is now in the hands of his fellow-compatriots again, while his young wife is forced to light alone against the whole hellish lot of them we know his sympathy. He is scorned for a contemptible coward away from duty and manhood, abandoning the best chance he will ever have to make somebody out of himself and be something than an insult to his shillous. Suit for which noble women crave, was evidently not in him. If I were an American girl of any color whatsoever, I would not answer to a million dollars wrapped up with him. For such a creature is not a man: he is just a Millionaire's Cub. I have never seen such a Mistake-of-Good—but I have heard that once he was seen and known by name. of their happy imaginings. It was at such a gathering recently that I came to understand the real nature of the meeting. I was not looking at the whole, or the whole part of it, and was, by and by, gathering such as could be called anywhere, but not outside New York, with the same atmosphere and setting so near the outskirts of the city. In the midst of the gay, ever-changing, ever-insoy-chats of 125th street at 7:00 a.m., the meeting was gathered—the person who, in the first half, was the fair-haired writer25-Walker White, that most versatile of men—Paul Kobson, actor, athlete, share-writer and director, and the other two men, and women, representing religion, art, law, social service, the school and the public, and the other. All the dance or theatre party—they gathered in the home of that national figure, poet, scholar, gentleman and nobleman of his race, James Welden Johnson. After an exquisitely appointed supper, presided over by the lovely and gracious man who had been a member of the comfort and taste can hardly be conceived in artifactual, homeless New York, the most beautiful of the world. The library where, to the aroma of the asseemly, and by candle-light, the artists, beginning with the hosts, himself, who read his own, gave, not their "but", but their "much" toward the evening's entertainment. More a hush—all but enthralled, audience—the mellowed resonance of James Welden Johnson's tones rose and fell in rhythmic beat. Then I was moved to think of the whole of the meeting, of the probing, probing, groping, sounding, critiquing, now, here, now, finally, now, here, now, and why of his "Cane." Then the exquisite riling of that sublime youth, Sownes Callin, so fresh, so wholesome, and so beautiful, was the whole of the meeting, making us ride the stars with him and sing with rapture—touching, heartfelt, and sooth, that the whole of the world. Walker White, intense with the hurt of the past, bright with the hope of the future, expounding his "Fur in the future," and the "Emperor Jones"—was far into the night we sat—not to in-tense, nor construed—too serious of ourselves, and too unethical of ourselves, being themselves and each other—brains, cutters, genus.

Extracted By The serve-Blocking Method ```markdown ``` POPULAR RECORD ARTIST STARS IN LOCAL PLAYHOUSE RECORD ARTIST APPEARS HERE Margaret Johnson Former T. O. B. A. Actress In Demand By Disc Company. SINGS DELANEYS NUMBERS Kentucky Girl Has Entertained Thousands During Last Seven Years. The popularizing of "blues" music by W. C. Handy started something that has proved a boon to the race, their white musical competitions and imitators. Miss Margaret Johnson, the latest female exponent of minor strains is the last entrant into the field for recognition. Miss Johnson, who played the Regent last week, was born in Louisville, Kentucky, and has that mysterious mellow tone quality that seems so peculiarly fitting for the mountain day of blue stratus. Doubleday the climate of the "blue-grass" state had much to do with the quality of the singer's voice. Whatever the cause suffice it to be said that one is entertainably enraptured by the tones applied. T O B A STAR She attended the public schools of her native city until she chose the stage as a career. She opened a session but precurred her continuous engagement. Under the billing "Single" Maragret Johnson she toured the country for a year. Retiring from the stage Miss Johnson chose New York with its many places of amusement, as a profitable business. She joined the ranks of entertainers and won instantaneous favor and later success. At this period the fields of music and theater were up to upon the singer from the "blue grass" section, and sent Tom Delahay the song-writer to New York with a number of songs he hoped to write with the publishers. DISCOVERED BY DELANEY. Delaney, under the guidance of fortunes beam, chanced to hear Miss Johnson sing. Instantly he made overtures to her in the recording. Miss Johnson accepting the newly formed team were engaged by the Okeh Company to record for them. Mr. Delaney was no stranger to the record company for seven years, this his last record in the parlance of the recording studies. NGAGED AFTER TESTS The test records were two of the numbers used this week "Nobody Knows De Way I Feel Dis Mawmin" and "Absent Minded Blues." The tests, as you may know, greatly impressed the students pronounced successful, and Miss Johnson was engaged as an exclusive Oleh artist with a flattering financial contract. From the demand of dealers from all parts of the United States, the fact that it is evident that the singer is on her way to popularity and fortune. HAS GREAT WARDROBE Accompanied by Arthur Rays, who is a demonstrator for the Joe Davis Music Publishing House of New York City and himself a writer of note, he was a guest with Daddy, But You Don't Mean Me No Good" to her repertoire at the Regent this week, and scored significantly before the critical audition. Dressed in three beautiful costumes, and looking good, he was a talented artistic career for her, and an entertaining time for her auditors. SONGS FASCINATE Tom Delaney, put all of the harmony "English" at his command on "Nobody Knows Do Way I Feel Dawn, Mawhni, the music to be奏" The well-written lyrics in combination with the haunting music, coupled to the delightful manner in which this singer sounds the word "minim" is better than a trip to the country. Effie Moore Write Would appreciate it if Miss Efne Moore would write the AFRO. A letter written to the Grand Central in Cleveland was returned to this office. QUARTETTES REUNITES Johnson and Lillard seen in this city several times this season are two of the former Daries, who are expected to reunite with "Bass" Turner and Conley.

At that meeting it is expected that the membership of the Mosaic Templars will increase to 17,000 and the present number, to 250,000, and that enough Mosaics can be induced to subscribe a small sum each to finance the proposed new industrial organization will be formed on co-operative lines.

During the present month this order will collect $180,000. A Big Asset Negro fraternal orders in the state of Arkansas are a great asset. The DON'T GOOD TIME ON YOUR FRIENDS DON'T GOOD TIME HAYES IS MENTIONED ON YOUR FRIENDS FOR HALL OF FAME (For Associated Negro Press) BY J. A. JACKSON An actor of our group died recently in a western city. In a local paper we have reported that a former counter of the deceased expresses his gratitude to many persistence in providing a decent burial in the profession for their assistance, and mentored for the profession again demonstrated the generous spirit of self sacrifice that is traditional. Why should they be required to pay for a person's lifetime of pleasure? For that is what it amounts to. None of us know when the summertime is over, and we know the way to be prepared for it. There is no excuse for well paid performers who have worked steadily for a group equipped with a savings account, and insurance policy. The only reason that they don't, is that dissipation and pleasure is preferred, things like our friends. It is not fair. Neither is it fair to visit humiliation upon the wife, mother and other relatives; nor is it right to disgrace the wife of the high sultained days of the artist. The way to avoid all of these is to have a savings account that may be started with ONE DOLLAR and for it to be little or for little as a dime a week and to belong to some Union or fraternity that cares for its members in distress, and organizers are constantly beseeching all of us. You may at least die respectably, do this things, and do them NOW. ROLAND HAYES CAPTURES CINGINNATI AUDIENCES ROLAND HAYES CAPTURES CINGINNATI AUDIENCES Cincinnati, O, Jan. 3 (P, N.

ADMISSION A Bld Asset --- --- ORD ARK very Million daily Balance In kills of Arkansas combined assets of all the Negro fraternal orders in Arkansas for the year ended 12/31/00, amounted to $3,089,021, an increase of $125,028 over the previous year for the same year's report on the State Insurance Commissioner there was a decrease of $11,612 in the total liabilities; there was an increase of $1,072 members and a decrease of $2,823 in income paid. Havo $1,500,000 in Bank Most of the orders are housed in the bank, and only a few of all the orders amounts to approximately $300,000 or more. The average cash balance carried daily in the banks over the state amounts to $1,500,000. The solvency valuation of the banks is based with the valuation of other fraternal orders of this country. The heads of the organizations are competent business men, wide-awake and progressive, and possessing the tact and acumen necessary for the management of their institutions. The national officers are contemplating the establishing of a cotton mill in this state for the purpose of giving employment to the many members of the community. All here in the state are contented with a few exceptions. To say nothing of the valuable property owned by the Negroes in the cities and in the towns, it is indeed eminently creditable to the 699 farmers that are in high state of cultivation and valued at $45,536,338. The Negro population of the state is 472,220 of which 187,565 are of school age. Negro teachers in the state and it is the concensus of opinion among the teachers that conditions in Arkansas demand the extension of teachers' training facilities and justify the establishing of a normal school for Negro teachers. HAYES IS MENTIONED FOR HALL OF FAME New York, Jan. 2nd.—Vanity Fair a white publication of this city suggests that the renowned author have a place in the Hall of Fame. Five names will be added next year to the list, but those the unmatched Hayes should be among the illustrious quinter. Billboard Likes Johnny Hudgins Sam Wooding's Club Alamah Orchestra is far and away the hottest and jazziest combination of colored musicians the writer has seen in music history. The dance extraordinary, as the feature attraction, the act possesses all the elements of real solid entertainment. The band starts the proceedings with a brass interpretation of Lima's "Snow Queen," repeated several times, but with varying tempo. It is effective as the lively staccato movement which brings on Hudgins and his own comedic playback. The high hat and over-size shoes, Hudgins gives the impression of dancing on a glazed floor, at the same time glued to one spot. He does a one-foot slide, forward 'and backward, to a big The band then renders Dance, Jenny, Dance, to the fast nity winging of the bando jlaytr, some neat and polished, with the primitive sounds of the clarinet. Hudgins enters with a battered straw Kelly and with an imaginary partner in the band. The sound is silent rendering of a patter song during which the only sounds are heard from the talking and laughing cornet. A hokum Egyptian dance is another laughing song, number 14. Among other things Hudgins is a first-rate pantomimist. Quite remarkable is the uniform playing of the orchestra without the aid of conductor. At least the guitar Wooding's outfit leaves behind.

I recently received this letter: "My Mrs. Mrs. Green: 'My small, six-year-old son, is unusually precocious. He has always treated me with the utmost respect and obedience, until a few days ago when he made a remark which I can help with a mind. I wonder if you can help me? 'I have been in the habit of sometimes rewarding him for good behavior with small numbers of occasions, I promised him something which I neglected to buy. He seemed never to notice my forgetfulness until the day before. Billy, Mother and Mother will get you a toy engine. A week passed, and the toy engine had never entered my head again. But I happened to remark, If you'll run an errand for Mother, I will take you to the circus. 'Aw, no, you won't Mother. I believe you a fake!' he said. 'Of course I punished the child, as I considered it disrespectful and inappropriate. But the affair has worried me. Could you help?'

Insurance companies and their benefits are not to be mired alone in the protection to furnish the home but in the movement they furnish young men women and the support which give Negro business. Hotels and Travel Accommodations With the increased business involvement of colored America has come an increased demand accommodations in public halls. There has been a well defined area of colored America. But the affair has worried me. Could you help? "Yes. I think I can help you. In the first place, remember this infallible rule for parents: Always keep your child in the room until you make 'buff promises.' They teach children to be untruthful. "Personally, I don't believe in rewarding children for being good. Some children will be taken away, and what then? "You should not have punished the child for the remark he made. He didn't mean it to be smart. He was still stating what he believed to be a fact. It would be hard for him to get your point of view, and the next time he has a similar thought he will not say anything. He is not diplomatic, but one tending to teach deceit.

For the world of colored America, there is no exception necessary to deal with banks, and to have banks; and all the other accessories of material progress. White capital has been very shy in extension. Here and there are found exceptions, but they merely prove the rule. Consequently, there has been a tendency to develop investment organizations, and banking business within the capital. But in comparison with the actual needs there has hardly been a start. The National Negro Finance Corporation, a new venture sponsored by the National Negro League, Dr. R. R. Moton, of Tuskegee, president, and C. C. Paudlinge of the famous Durham, N.C., group, chairman of the board, will seek to supply the capital for a commercial development. In the insurance field gratifying advance has been made.

If the small retailer is going to advertise at all he should do so consistently, it is said in an advertising treatise recently broadcasted for the benefit of retail merchants by the Domestic Distribution Department or the Member of Commerce of the United States. "Every merchant," the department says in its foreword, "must make himself known in order to be successful in various ways, the greater part of which is described as "publicity," and of all these ways, advertising is the most effective method of competition of an advertisement, a circular or a letter costs money, occasional, hit-or-miss advertising is usually a loss; where advertising is not successful, kind is sure to be productive. The retailer whose business justifies advertising in newspapers will do better to run a small advertisement even if it can run a large one a week. "This principle applies to all forms of publicity. If form letters are sent out it is likely to be broadcast by the broadcast it is host to broadcast them regularly; if window advertising is used, the displays should be constant and changed frequently. Never let the your old-established customers a chance to forget you, your store, your goods. There are two points to remember: connection. Your advertising campaign, whatever it consists of, should be planned as a whole; do not get out several booklets, letters or circulars and then discover you are not present or order or that you have neglected the seasonal influences or something else. At certain seasons and for certain occasions, your advertisements should appear more frequently than usual. A grocery has only a few weeks to sell strawberries, so he should advertise potatoes which he can sell always. "Drugshrists should press their advantage in selling remedies for colds during the winter and for headaches. April shoe dealers should make frequent announcements on rubbers. "But whatever the season, the goods the medicine uses, be conservative—do not have spasms of advertising." HAMPTON "Y.'S" PRESENT DRAMA Hampton, Va., Jan. 9.—The Hampton Institute Y. W. C. A. and Y.

Night when the Tuskegee Institute Quartet performed in the studio WJZ 63 W. 42nd street, direct with a telephone wire leading also to the General Electric Company studio from the music was broadcasted there. ON EVERY TONGUE RILLS FE Dogs Funeral At Regent Very pleasing entertainment is offered by this screen adaptation of William J. Locke's novel, "The Mountebank," which plays the Regent January 12, 13th. You can always count on a Locke plot being rich in the straight sympathy lure and "The Side Snow of Life" is no exception to the rule. In its early stages the picture moves rather pliably, detailing the simple advice given to the gentleman whom reverses of fortune have reduced to the status of a clown in a minor French circus. The first big emotional moment is stressed when he is told to auto and burial of the animal, a very effective scene, pathetic and appealing. Follows his teaming-up with Eldon's villainous act, the outbreak of the World War and Andrew's enlistment. After the armistice, when the hero is sent to General General he us faced with the grim necessity of taking up his old profession and renouncing all hope of winning the dashing soldier. Back to the public, with Elodie as his partner, Andrews falls to make good with his act, is roundly jeered, and the decisive girl, who denounces the heartless spectators with magnificent scorn. This last situation is one of the best examples for the decisive hit scored by Louise Legrange in the role of Elodio. PLANS JAZZ OPERA New York. Jan. 3. I—have heard it said for many years that the only American groves in America. However, whether this is true or not, Mr. Gerwinah, who has been quoted as follows: "The music of our country is but an instrument, so should we not use American music as a means of operatic expression?" And other states that it would be an immense undertaking, but that he would approach it with the utmost early interest. Mr. Gerwinah used a Negro cast because they believed they understood Jazz better than any other. Mr. Gerwinah has asked Mr. Carl Van Bechten, novelist, and poet, Van Bechten, extremely interested in the Negro literature to group of Negroes interested in literature. Mr. Countee P. Culion, novelist, and poet, Van Culion, voted to be the leading Negro poet in America. He has won many poetry contestants, which there were thousands of contestants. 9 YEAR OLD CHILD ASTOUNDS CAPITOL Washington folk have not yet finished talking about the superior acting of little Margaret Brown, a 9 year old pupil of the Dunbar School of this city. The little girl was introduced at the vaudeville show held by the Pollyanna Club at the Lincoln Theatre at city, on Christmas night by Miss Constance and Hermione Wharton. The youthful performer appeared in five numbers singly and jointly with the Misses Wharton. Programmed numbers were: Linda Lou "Sun," "Dixie Dreams," "I am A Little Blackbird," and "DIXIE." A request was made by the manager of the Lincoln for the company to appear in a midnight show at a later date. Takes The Air Indowment Fund The program which lasted from 10 to 10:30 included each numbers as "Couldn't Hear Nobody Say, Swing the Bottle," and "Deep River," "River's Ladder," and "Deep River." Just as soon as the program started, the studio began to receive requests to have these continued until the announcer stated that he was with telegrams and telephone calls. Members of the quartet will not be able to study any lesson during January all their time being taken up in various churches of New York and they will broadcast, every Sunday night for the rest of this month and Sunday in February again from WIZ.

New Management For Wonderland New Management For Wonderland Two prominent local men, a dance promoter and orchestra leader, are expected to assume the management of the Wonderland Park next season. It is unlucky that the former manager, Rutus Byars, will not return, but will confine himself to attending his Washington theatrical holdings. Under the direction of the former manager, the resort had a most profitable season in 1924. From the calibre of the men whom we hear will take charge, it can be predicted that the success of last year will be duplicated. Race Spends Si On Public A Race Spends Sixty-Five Million On Public Amusements --- Things are picking up very perceptibly for the colored group in the film industry, due to the increase in the number of pictures being made in the territory adjacent to New York. Another factor in the matter is the fact that directors are desirous of having naturalness, and have just about eliminated the made-up white actor in the Negro characterizations. Bob Slater, secretary of the C. V. B. A., recently did a colored farmer part for the Universal with Etta Minor doing the wife. Four children of Win. Little were also used in the piece one in quite an important part. Leon Williams has sixty days work with another studio at Fort Lee in a part that runs all thru the piece. More about this later, Slater says there have been a number of requests at the club lately for talent. We note that the National Negro Business League has estimated that our group spends 65 Million dollars on theaters, moving pictures and in cabinets; and Twenty millions more on musical instruments, records sheet music and rolls. Wonder what proportion of this gigantic total reaches the artists of the race? One thing we feel certain of and that is that there is more of it reaches the bunch than the lay public has realized; and more of what reaches them has gone into useful purposes. The present day performer is not entirely foolish. Walter J.

More than that, its ruler, a king and the premier are finally furnished with the "Eternity" which will play the Carey on Monday January 12th. In order to insure accuracy in atmosphere and backgrounds, Mr. Fitzpatrick will give the film rights to the novel, one of the cinematic prizes of a decade, determined to produce it in the locale of the tale. But he wanted particularly to be able to use the historic ruins for which Rome is famous, such as the Forum and the Roman Baths for settlers. A less courageous man would have hesitated to seek such a privilege. But Mr. Fitzmaurice might approach the prime-minister-ship by the triumph of the *Faeciti* and hid before him, the proposition. It took some effort to induce the premier to accuse Mr. Fitzmaurice of the appearance of sarcophage, but when he became convinced that it would be to Italy's advantage to broadcast on the screen "shots of its beauty spots he agreed.

NEGRO IS SUBJECT OF OPERETTA Chief Marries French Governor The marital relation between black and white is having new theatrical exploitation in "Gri Grri" Paul Laikle's new operaette presented at the Gate Rochechaun Paris, for the first time in December. The writers of the librette have constructed a story dealing with the white daughter of an African King. Unlike other themes treating miscengation, there is no doubt of paternity from family; pursues the even longer of its way despite the hue of the skin of the head of the home. The French Governor makes up to the white princess known as Gri Grri, her grandmother, to his colonial marriage binding until he meets the girl in Paris and they are again wedded.

LOUIS HA 1721-33 P Opposite Lafe LIBRARIAN COMPLAINS COLORED PEOPLE DO NOT USE BOOKS New York-Complaint that colored people in this country do not read that they do not use their library facilities, is contained in a letter to an executive officer of the Advancement of Colored People. 98 Fifth Avenue, New York City, from a librarian in Buffalo. Lack of books on the "Negro Problem" contributed to the failure of colored people to ask for them and read them according to the librarian, whose letter to the N. A. C. P. is in as part as our people. Our people are not a limited amount of money and if you could only see them going over their books to see when they were lost or how many times they had been drawn to learn of more money that can be spent for books of that type. "I believe the lack of books on the Negro Problem in libraries, is due to lack of access to the Journal of Negro History (of his own accord) to our Perlological Department and also bought all the back numbers in bound volumes. I have repeatedly asked persons to go and ask to use them but there they "I have gone into this lengthy explanation because you and other officers of the N. A. A. C.

NATIONAL NEGRO BASE BALL LEAGUE ANSWERS CRITICS Page Six NEGRO NATIONAL LEAGUE REPLIES TO CENSUERS Western Body Sets At Rest Reports That League Would Fail To Function In 1925. LEAGUE'S SIXTH YEAR Will Open Spring Session In Better Circumstances Than In History Chicago, Ill., Jan. 9—Since the adjustment of the last meeting in Chicago of the mazed organization clubs both east and west, there has been considerable speculation as to what actually happened. Will the Negro National League continue to function? Rube Foster, the president of the real facts about Tenny Blount's withdrawal? Did this conference secure peace between the east and west? What in finality and in accrued result has been actually amplified? League to Function And now allow us to substitute some auxiliary players, and rest assured the Negro National League will continue to function and have Rube Foster is still available. Facts In The Case The cold facts are as follows: Last fall before the world's series, Foster sent a notice to all club owners in the Negro League, that he would not be a candidate for re-election and stated plainly the things that made him reach such a decision, finally, on December 4th, at the opening of the Negro National League meeting, before the joint session of the eastern and western club owners. Foster vacated the position on a motion asked by the chair, granted the request. Foster placed the motion to have the league appoint commission to investigate that was due them, and stated that he wished to resign. Blount was there and not one member present would second it. Foster then returned to the club, insisted at every session and on Saturday at the last session of the Negro National League, when the question of electing officers came up. Andrew McKenzie acclamation, without single dissenting vote. Blount In Error So the actual facts in the case facts by the way, of authentic record prove that Blount's print is false, the contrary is an absolute xalekshow. What then, it may be asked very pointedly, is it true facts and circumstances which led up to Blount's dissatisfaction and subsequent withdrawal from the league? Were you the family?—his own inability to go along. A man is sometimes hopelessly lost merely by the company. Fate, good or bad, has itself, has himself. This fact is conclusively proven by the rather primitive philosophy under which birds of a feather fly, their adherents their adhere to flock together. Promoted Gambling This, undoubtedly, was poor Tenny's trouble. Accustomed all his life to employment in an army, he managed to incarnate houses, he simply could not go along in a clean game where all cards were played on the table and when he was to be cut by all the players and where other men associated, were head and shoulders above him in honesty and real manhood. The writer happens to know that the first break between Foster and Blount came when Foster objected to his players frequent gameplay, which he did allow his ball club to be paid off in Detroit. This break became more pronounced when Blount in defiance of the contract agreed to fill his scheduled dates at Cleveland or to pay a simulated fine. The final breach, however came when Blount to pay or live up to his contract to players, he refused to obey the decision of the other club owners in session to pay this back salary by paying his subsequent retaliation and his subsequent failure to pay. he was dropped automatically from the league. Had Articles Published The exceedingly bitter, untrue and maligning article appearing in one of our weeklies as an unpleasant aftermath to his dismissal from public society. A similar picture might have been shown in the Big League. Bun Johnson, shorn of his power, and stripped of his official strength, was sent back to Detroit after the game. He says, we say, if Johnson and Blount were men of the same caliber. However, there is no comparison. In fact, it is a enclosure to mention both men together. Johnson did much to make the American League what it is today, bringing to the attention of the Blount brought nothing to the Negro National League—brains nor money. Foster's Mistake The biggest mistake Foster and associates ever made in their lives was when they invited Tenny to put his feet under the same table with them. For now with an almost canine felicity he seeks to bite the hand that sought to feed him. We say canine felicity is the canine family an apology for placing them in such company. In fact, we know of no family pet or even stray guest to our backyard hospitality that has been quite soicious in remembering past favors. Now, as to the league and its prospects for the ensuing year. On this letter from Foster to the writer: Call VErnon 6016 PETER B. BURKE J. E.

League's Sixth Year Surely this is a concrete statement in reply to false statements laterly published and must set at rest the sea of speculation as to the real facts in the case. Finally, the Negro National League enters its sixth year clearer right, a firmer right and success than ever before. The league is particularly fortunate to have a man like Foster at the helm, and some of the big minds associated with the nation know this. Take, for instance, the statement of Nat C. Strong, of New York, one of the brightest minds based who was an author of this statement: "It is foolish to talk of having Judge Landis decide any questions among us. We have in our midst a great number of people to give for one hundred Landis—if he will only make up his mind to do it, he is as fair to an enemy as a friend, and has the ability, 'am willing to just give up' as his chairman of this joint session." Succeeded In Spite of Focs The fact of the matter is that Foster has done wonders in spite of foes within and enemies without, or even without, finance even their own end. He has led the league past every lion in the roadway. The club in the Major League is assessed 25 per cent for the operating expense of the league and each deficit they must make good. Foster has paid all his 25 cent and pays all its expenses for operation. The officials of the Big Leagues are paid well enough for nothing and current deficits are paid by him. His donations and the upkeep of office alone last year, secretary, stamps, telegraphs, etc., amounted to Add to this a publicity item of $1,224, all of which we saw upon the occasion of the idea of the remarkable ability and finesse, which has enabled this man to finance a million dollar proposal to establish a business reputation to keep his word. In the light of what he has al-ready built, he is a giant of intellect, and heart, so determined, still, to do. Andrew remains in a class apart—the former marvel, gobius lotmodern baseball.

C., white, from Cumberland, Md., finished on the short end of a 41-29 score in the holy contest. From the first whistle until the last the game was never in doubt. The Scholars had everything their way and ran rings around the solos. The boys represented games seen in many years, the boys representing Uncle Sam refused to fight and the game lacked interest and dragged throughout the two sessions. One of the first period the local team was leading a 24 to 12 count. "Cutey" Brown started the fireworks and made 13 field goals and shot two fouls. His work was the only redeeming feature of the Ward won second honors by cagging five goals and with excellent work in center. The mainstay of the soldiers was Armsworthy, who made 15 points for his teammates. He was also named for "BIL" Mason an referee and spoke highly of the clean sportsmanship of the Scholastics.

The team was then strained and broken between members in the conference because of the fact that Missouri would not play against teams that had colored youths in their lineup. Kansas University also is an objector and has refused to play against colored athletes altho they attend the university. When it was found that the school would lose many thousand dollars in gate receipts, the two students were used to play in the Christmas game.

HOWARD-LINGOLN GAME NOT CALLED OFF YET-YOUNG The annual Thanksgiving game between Howard University and Lincoln has not been canceled according to Coach Young of Lincoln. In response to the AFRO'S inquiry wold Lincoln play Howard at football this year Thanksgiving, coach Young replied "I am not in the position at this time to answer the question asked. Our council meets in a short time and will at that time make a decision. One thing is assured, Lincoln will meet the issue personally." Howard and Lincoln have a two year contract that will not expire until 1926. As a member of the C. I. A. A., Lincoln will meet the only school in which likely result in auft being brought against the Pennsylvania school by Howard. It is a well known the game the only game the two schools cleared any money, all other games being losing propositions. The schools could expense two schools for forward incurring playing other games. The Rev. W. W. Walker, an officer in the Lincoln Alumni Association, was interviewed by AFRO reporter that he was of the opinion that the whole matter would be cleared up before the fall to the debate on satisfaction of all parties concerned. No other game would have the driving force to be played at the present time and it would take years to educate the public to support any other contest. If matters were not resolved, the agreement will be launched to have the game played in Baltimore. Tuesday, 5 P.

Saturday, January 10 CRITICS BALTIMORE PROS BEST ATHENIANS Local Quintet Nosed Out By 46-45 Score In Sensational New Year's Struggle EXTRA SESSION PLAYED Game Went For Extra Period Of Five Minutes To Decide Hectic Game. In a hectic battle which went into an extra session of five minutes, the Baltimore Athene tian hostel out on crowds out by the Baltimore Profes- sionals, white, in one of the greatest court games seen here in many a day, at the New Abert Auditorium on New Year's night. 49 to 45. At the close of the first period the Greeks were trailing at the end of 32-20 score. A big holiday crowd filled the hall and cheer after cheer went as players on both teams made seemingly impossible shots. The locals' downfall was due to the half, when within scoring distance, many easy shots went wild. At the end of the regulation time the score was deadlocked 41 all, the pitcher's foul goal having the count Harlew Starts Off The game started with the perforbial rush. The visitors took the lead when Harley made the first pass to Keller, and the best feet pass from Keller. Voth, one of the best tossers in the country, began to get in his deadly long kick. The defense court. During this half harris and Brown replaced Wright and Keller. Not to be outdone, the Greeks went into the second half and staged a surprise. With the score 32-20, the Athenians opened a whirlwind attack and deadlocked the score 33 all over. But it was a blow, it blew it a game of put and take and at no time was either team ahead more than one point. Butler Ties Count With the score and less than a half minute to play, Butler was fouled and the whistle called the count as the whistle called the game. With the extra session, Leonard's field and foul goals gave the Pres 3 point lead, but Taylor added two points for the Athenians when he made a blow with his shot after being hit by Bowl. He drew, but down this margin with another goal. Taylor shot another goal just before the whistle blew, ending the extra score. In his usual bang-up game, scoring the greatest amount of points. His 10 field goals and two fouls went a long way toward bringing the Athenians score. Baskerville went in the game list and did not get the chance to pull off any sensational plays. He was the star for the Professions their long shots were the feature of the evening. The game was fast and clean, so many personal footings being challenged up the court. In the preliminary the Speed Marvels of Douglass High School was a 35 to 40 victory from the Donbass team, and were leading at half time, 17 to 15.

Potomacs And Lost Every Game To Hilldale At Darby. Holds Record Also In Number Of Managers Hooch Hounds Scored. The Baltimore Black Sox, runners up in the chase for the pennant can be said to have had a remarkable club in spots. The Sox also shattered some records during the season, one was they won nine out of ten league games from Washington Potomics and the other they failed to win a game home grounds. For that matter, the Sox have not won a game from Baltimore can since the Sex were or games that does not seem possible a club can play at least four games against one and not win one, but such is the case. They have lost all games played at Philadelphia with Baltimore. At Baltimore the two clubs with a double-header. games, but lost two seasons the Sox have probably hired and fired more players and Managers than any other club, trying to get a whistle to the manager, but not support a loser, and most of the time they expect the impossible. SCORES HOOCH HOUNDS Some of the fans calls them "well washers and boosters for them" in reality a mirage, for them the kind of bad news that the ever popular of "hooch" to give a little "sino" to give after the game. That is a very bad position, and if possible should be sent up by the management as soon this because I have seen it my self and have been offered games. Since they are in the game some years ago, baseball has grown to be a sport and business, and if it is to continue, we must stamp out the well as played, this does not mean anything, but in all the cities baseball is played. FALTIMORE BEST SUNDAY TOWN I consider Baltimore, one of the best Sunday towns we have in college football, so for as attendance for conduct, the amusement with some of the real奖励, and some of the worst management will coincide with some of the奖励, and some percent responsible will cooperate with the Management in stamping out this evil by reporting all disgraceful conduct such as drinking, loud cursing, and gambling to Box office, and gambling the usher can then assure you it will be more than appreciated, and will also be stopped. SPORT FAIL OF CATCHERS The Sox reported a very classy pair of catchers in the persons of Jojo and Paulien. Jojo, one of the Cuban catchers ever to this country was the throw receiver. He has a growing arm, is very unequal one of the fastest men in the league on bases, when he wants to be, a little with the average at the last, with a pretty good knowledge of what to do in a ball game, if you can keep him in the motion of doing Pullen is the better receiver with a little the weaker throwing arm, the is by no means slow in getting the ball down to second. He is his hitter, but very slow on the insets, but very sharp with weighting close to two himmied and thirty pounds to his great arm. I consider his chief point is his seeming lack of ambition, being willing to let well enough alone, by getting all that is in Roe and Pullen out I think that the sex have an edge on the league for catchers. WILSON GREAT PLAYER At first we have Jud Wilson, a product of the samism of Washington on a really good ball player, fast and good, although a little slowed, one of the hardest hitters in the game with the proper handling can be made one of our greatest stars. I will also add that an improvement was noted in his conduct on the ball last season, and let is to be congratulated. That will go a long way towards helping him Second base was easily looked after by Wilson C. Drey, of Indianapolis, A. K. C. C. of Indianapolis, a graduate of the C. L. Trayer school, baseball, being one of the best ground ball men in the game. A big rangy chap, he covers a world of territory, time after time going behind first or second legs for an almost impossible setting, his man at first by injuring him, making him a very good goal for double plays. Were it not for his weakness at but it would be a toss up between him and Warfield. HOLE AT SHORTSTOP Shortstop at the beginning of the season was very weak, "Woods" Poes and Clemente Lindsay, alternating, both are fair ball players, but not yet ripe. Fort the big leagues of the two, Lindsay should have the two, and no doubt will make a strong lead for a regular baltic next season. John Beckwith was secured from Chicago near the middle of the season, and immediately filled the big gap that was open at short. His work bordered on the sensation that he was man at bat, being one of the most feared men in the league. "Back," is a veteran in the game, starting with 1916. He was made captain a few months later, and given credit for much of the improvement in their work, incidentally he has been made Manager for 1925. Third base we found when the season opened, was unified. Manager A. B. Ursignol, he did not report. So the first few weeks found several men trying to fill that position. Finally Business Manager Chas. Spedden helped a batter for the first time, and was a favorite from the first, and remained so until his timely death. Blackman was one of the three great third baseman in the East. I had pleasure of playing with him the first year he came from Texas, in 1920. He was without doubt one of the cleanest, fielders, and had one BALTIMORE BLACK SOX HOOCH HOUNDS SPORTY PAIR OF CATCHERS WILSON GREAT PLAYER HOLE AT SHORTSTOP BECKWITH A DEMON BLACKMON GREATEST of the best and snappiest arms in baseball. I don't think I have seen him make two bad throws in all the games. I played with him. A fair hitter and base runner, and one of the best natured men in baseball. His death was a sever blow to the Sox and baseball in general, and no doubt helped keep them from winning the pennant. Harry Jeffries finished the season at the hot corner. He was secured from the Potomacs who brought him from Detroit of the Western League. His jersey is a fair third baseman, but is too light for a Championship club. ALL STAR OUTFIELD The outfield was Wade Johnston, Crush Holloway, Eobo Leonard and Manager Pete Hill, a truly great outfield, all good hitters and fast mow with fair throwing arms. Johnston played center, is very fast, a good hitter and an adept at the dragging bunt. He is also a good base runner. Holloway in right is also a good hitter, and like Johnston has performed the dragging bunt. He is very fast. Leonard, who joined the club the batter part of the season is of the same type player as Holloway and Johnston, but is a little younger and not quite as good yet, but he has the ability and should come into his own playing position. He has played several games during the first of the season and afterward played Rojo and Britt in the outfield. HILL DANGEROUS PINCH HITTER Hill despite his twenty or more years in active harness is still something of an outfielder and hitter. Time was when he was numbered among the greatest in the game, and he was a hitter. I think he was the most dangerous man in a pinch in baseball. He was also something of a baserunner being very fast. WEAK PITCHING STAFF The pitchers were McClure-Force. Strong, Britt and J. Jeffries, a very good staff but not strong enough for a club to win a pennant with. McClure was a consistent winner, but his teammates claim he did not have enough heart. His fast ball is good, and he hits a good ball. He is ready, when he is ready to use it. He is still young and should have better each year. Force had one of his good years. I have seen him have better ones in the past. Western pitchers a couple of years to get going, when they come East. One of the best games Force worked last season was against my former club, the Potomac. It was the second game of a doubleheader, and the Potomac scored. The Black Sox hitting the ball all over the lot. I saved Wayne Curr for the second game figuring on getting an even break. The batteries were Force and Pullen for Baltimore and Curr and Eggleton for the third. The battles and neither club scored the first five innings. I think the Sox scored 3 in the sixth on a hit and a couple of errors. They went into the ninth with the Sox leading 3 to nothing. In the meantime, we had not even a single hit. In other words Force was pitching a no hit and no run game. SPOIL PERFECT DAY We came in to take our turn at bat, with the fans palling for Force to get a no hit game. We were playing in Baltimore, and my players praying for just that. The first two men up were easy outs. I happened to be next at bat, and with two strikes and two balls on the next pitch. I singled down first base line, spoiling a perfect day for Force. We had good games for the Sox last season and should be one of their Accs another year. FRITT UTILITY MAN Dritt is one of the best pitchers in the cost. His work is the more remarkable, because he is used as a utility man. He is a ball player of the Mackey type, put him most any where on the diamond and keep him there he will look like it is his regular position. But not know just what would be the best place to put him. He is a great catcher and a little over the average hitter, but I think he would be more valuable to his club pitching, as good pitches are hard to find. Strong is what they call the Kid pitcher of the good club pitching, some very good games last season, and no doubt will grow better each year. J. Jeffries was secured from Hamburg the latter part of the season, being the only southpaw on the staff. He is a veteran having started with the A. B. C.'s about 1916. His work work was not up to his standards, and he thought to some arm trouble, but 1925 may be one of his old time years. At one time he was rated one of our best left-handers. SES PENNANT FOR SOX In summing up the Sox. I think they had one of the best clubs in the East, but not quite good enough to win a pennant. Their teamwork was not of championship class and they were in and outers. The claim has been made that had they been able to finish their schedule, Baltimore would have had the Worlds series. We will admit that they were setting a dizzy pace, but the Hillsides were also going at the same clip. We can almost see a pennant for the Black Sox another season with the addition of a good hard hitting third baseman and at least one top notch pitcher.

O. Over Toledo Boxer REFEREE STOPPED BOUT Affray Ended In Third Round To Save Lohman From Severe Punishment. New York, Jan. 9. "Tiger" Flowers, the Atlanta Tornado, knocked out Joe Lolman, white, of Toledo, in the third round after two minutes and 35 seconds of fighting at the Nikki Sporting Club, in Brooklyn, on New Year's day. The referee played the role of savior for Lolman when he stopped the Tiger from the Toledo boxer was badly battered and hardly could stand on his feet. The Tiger was shorter in reach and height and was outweighed but showed how superior he was by flooring Lolman three times before the referee stopped the one-sided fight. At no time during the bout did Lolman appear to have a chance after the Tiger sprang from his corner into a first round. Flowers cut out with an assortment of torrents, jobs and jobs, and it immediately became apparent that it was only a question of how long Lolman would be able to weather the storm. Flowers put Lohman on the floor before they were at it one minute. A left to the chin dropped the "Toronto boxer," which counted with the Tiger assumed positioning and rushed Lohman across the ring until the bell ended the session. In the second and third rounds Lohman was merely a punching bag set up for the Tiger's practice. The crowd yelled for the reference to stop the light but he let the fighters go on. In the third Flowers went out to end it, and he cut loose to such good purpose that he landed Lohman on half a minute. Lohman rose to his knees after the count of six, but the referee called him to his corner ending the bout. Lohman weighed in at 170 and Flowers, 168. FLOWERS MEETS DELANEY JAN. 16 New York City, Jan. 16 (AFX) The New York Bureau—one of the best matchups of the indoor season at the Garden will take place here next Friday evening, January 18. The little straightening out here and there of long and short ends, Tex Eickards has announced that Tiger Flowers and Jack Daniels will meet in the Garden for a little straightening. Delaney is supposed to have a slight loss of prestige through meeting Pal Reed, over who he won a decision, the same day, as the tough, being infiltrator of the Reed type can make a boxer like Delaney. Flowers, who is known as a speed king, whose one aim is to hold the bell rings to peg living gloves. Therefore Delaney will have a poor chance.

The commission informed Gans that he had to enjoy the rest of his 60 day period before he could be allowed to enter the ring. Hirsch Vs.

SPORTS MIRROR By MACKEY G. L. Mackey At a heated meeting field in Oakland, was elected president of the session. There has been little feeling between the players and the time, and when Blount released his players last September 15, when their contract did not expire until the II. of October. Poster took the club owner to task. PLAYERS SEEK EASTERN BERTHS Blount claimed the men agreed to his decision, but it is doubted, as several sought positions in the East, and Pete Hox. Sox manager last year, called the attention of the writer to the high handed method of Blount, and said several Detroit players had written to him for births on the Black Sox roster. This he refused to do as the men were entitled to two more weeks pay in Detroit and none of them could produce a release. A popular president, Foster is the greatest baseball magnate the race has ever produced. From a one club organization, he has produced a project that runs into the thousands annually. With Foster at the helm, the National League will open on schedule next season with the Detroit club intuit. An unifiable has done a lot to demoralize the players, most of them seeking positions in the Eastern League. In the meantime the fans don't give a rap who owns the clubs or who is president, but what they are interested in is good clean baseball and to see their local teams win. The recent sensational showing of Tiger Flowers, Atlanta, Ga., mid-dwight, in bouts in and around New York has been the means of breaking down the barrier for race fighters and giving them a new interest in the fighting game. Jack McVey, a former light fighter, is one of the best follows in his walker, Dave Shude, who has been seeking a fight with Mickey Walker, has refused all offers to meet McVey, also Willie Harmon, Phil Kaplan and a number of others. McVey recently won from Rocky Smith, and last week got the decision over Vie Hirsch. Like Tiger Flowers, McVey has to go out of his class in order to secure bouts. Before Flowers' entrance into the race, boys hadn't had any activities being confined to the smaller ones. There are a number of race boxers who would upset many a white hone and who would be champion if given the chance. Chicke Suggs is another fighter that is fast coming to the front in the bantam class and would most likely give Pancho Villa a hard time if they should come together. Suggs' last victories over Irish Johnny Curtin and Joe Ryder put him in the front row for the next shots at Cannonball Eddie Martin and Villa. Al Brown, the Harlem flyweight, is cutting a wide path in the little follows and has stopped such mittens as Tommy Milton and Frankie Ash. Englishman who lost a close decision to Pancho Villa. Altho Larry Estridge fell from grace when he was defeated by Paul Berdenbach in Madison Square Garden last week. he is one of the best middleweights around New York. Estridge gave way to Berdenbach in Madison Square Garden in a penalty Joe Gans' lightweight champion and defended it in a return bout. Bobby Risen is a featherweight that is getting ahead in the fistic world and if given the chance would develop into a great scraper. With the public showing interest in him, he will be prepped writers and chicken hearted contenders will have to recognize these boys or take a back seat. ATHENIANS VS. HENDLERS EVOLUTION OF THE GAME ATHENIANS VS. HENDLERS EVOLUTION OF THE GAME With one accord, basketball fans agree that, the game between the Athenians and the Baltimore Professionals, alias Hendlers, alias Orioles, was the best seen in Baltimore. Altho the Greeks lost, the decision Baltimore's Favorites were beaten but not disgraced. The Professionals are composed of a group of college stars that have been playing basketball for at least ten years and every man is an individual star. These men have played on the varsity teams of some of the leading universities in the country. "To be beaten by one point by such a team puts the Athletes in A. No. 1 class, among the champion ball tossers. New Year's contest has afforded Managers Wright and Harris an excellent opportunity to see the weak spots in the Athenian's ranks and give them the chance to remedy these defects. The local tossers reminded us of the time the Germans were bombarding Paris. At all once and at stated intervals a shot would fall out of a clear sky and wreak havoc in the French Capitol. The people knew it was the work of the Germans, but how they did it was a mystery until they accomplished the feat themselves. This proves that the farther you get away from an opponent and fight him, the better your chances are of winning until he learns how to fight from as great or greater distance than you. Voigh with his long range shots took the Greeks by surprise. They weren't prepared for that type of game, and at times stood amazed as well as the vast crowd at the unerring accuracy with which the Oriole player caged goal after goal from down the court. Except for this long distance shooter the Athenians would have won the game by a safe margin. The same type of game took place in the "Y" gym Friday night when the Yellow Circles were defeated by the Verity Club, white, by a big score. The white lads fought the Circles from a distance and at times the whole team stood still and watched a boy by the name of Kramer sink a total of eight field goals from behind his opponents' face. The method of passing the ball until it is near the basket is giving away to the long range game as teams are perfecting more perfect defenses. The last few games between mixed teams in the city show that the colored teams are neglecting this new system of attack. Office Consultation and Treatment $2 DR. ROBERT X. GIERING PETER M.

Won Many Honors "The caps, medals and awards won by fast lanes are now in a case in the office of the Edgar Thomson Steel Corporation, a branch of the Steel Trust. I have also an autographed photograph of Judge Gary, who personally presented it to me when he stepped his work in New York and received me in his private office for a half hour. Judge Gary came into a keen interest in my welcomes." Johnson attributes much of his success in the athletic world to constant training. Started In Army "When I was a boy here, I chased the bounds, played hide and seek and was running around all the time. I did not know how fast I could run. I didn't know until 1918, when Mr. Bishop, a University Athletics coach, came to town. I was in the army. I ran around the track with him one day, he in his racing toes and I in my clothes, he paced me. When we had gone some distance, he asked if I could go any faster, I told him yes, and struck a faster gate. I soon ran Mr. Bishop, the stopped and threw me. From that time he began training me and I got in the big athletic events." Trains Regularly Johnson attributes his success to clean living, no smoking and no drinking, simple food and regular habits, and regular constant training. The Fins now recognized as the best distance trainers in the athletic world, train all of the time" he said. "They have a different method from Americans. Nunni started training for last July's Olympic a year before. "We in America start four or six months before. I soon found out the Americans never let up in training. In today, believes the Americans will change their method. The Fins train every day. They never stop. The result is they are always in prime condition. The Fins also live a simple life. They have no street cars and no automobiles to relieve them of using their cars." In last July's Olympic contests, Johnson hit the cross-country race, being headed by the Fins only.

Some of Johnson's friends said the Harrisonburg boy could outrun him. A race was arranged between Phillipsburg and Occoala Mills, Johnson ran the distance in 27 minutes, seconds, and when the mule arrived it was exhausted.

It has been the sincere desire of those retired, as well as those now in active service, to serve the Church of others, and think of ourselves last. To neglect to make provision for our own self preservation in old age may not be regarded as being the best of the ideas we have been assured by the ideas of the business world. But we are ministers, and in keeping with the example set, by our Blessed Lord, we should not be roundly censored for our practice the order of altrism. The majority of our pastors, work, and spend their energies for the good of those they serve. Such things comforts, and for their future comforts, is rarely ever thought of by those self-sacrificing, consecrated servants of GOD. Therefore, in our daily condition of baggery and want, then it is that we realize for the first time, that the churches we so ardently seek are not the ones we neglected to train the people. As and as this picture may appear, it nevertheless remains true, that we as preachers would still be able to teach, and had it not been for the inymen, who came to our rescue, and are doing what they can toward establishing a church, trained preachers, may be better cared for. We have a few, who, no doubt, are able to take care of themselves, as is the exception than the rule. For, generally speaking: we must confess that 75 per cent of our pastors are serving for very small salaries, which are hardly enough to feed them, and need seeds, from which they can not save.

The ever recurring routine of going in-and out, up and down stairs, day and night, began to affect his heart muscles, hence the shift to X-ray which is less exacting and affords more time for relaxation. He undergoing an intensive training in X-ray expert in Diagnosis, Superclinical and Deep Therapy under an X-ray expet in the office of a leading Hopkins Surgical. Dr. Boyle, partly through the good offices of his instructor, has been admitted to the X-ray Department of Hopkins Hospital, New York, where he will further his studies. Unfortunately, Baltimore affords a very little opportunity for a colored man to participate in a complete apparatus and laboratory is so high that he deems it unwise to make the investment in Baltimore. The cost of his equipment alone is in the neighborhood of 5,000. For this reason he is forced to choose Newark, N. J., which offers every opportunity of success, and where he has been awarded an award by the North Jersey Physicians by the North Jersey Medical Society, of Baltimore, Md. Vice President, Dr. W. B.

CONDITION CHANGING But the real work of Father Johnson, is the changes he is bringing about in the condition of the poor people who for life most part live in this immediate section. Many men in this section in common law marriages have been induced to find better way. Food and fuel have been provided the needy and during the past year this mission has been carried out and women who died without means. It depends solely for its support on the good will of the public and the uniting, work of this lone priest giving his life in one of Baltimore.

JAMES RECTOR SECOND ONLY TO DR. WASHINGTON Senator Wm. Cabell Pays Fine Tribute To Dr. Geo. F. Bragg Senator Terms Old Program For Racial Adjustment False And Impossible Dr. George F. Brugg, rector of St. James P. E. Church, is second only to the late Booker T. Washington as a wise counsellor of his race, declared Senator Wm. Cabell Brute, Democrat, of Maryland, in a letter to the church recently, congratulating it upon its centenary anniversary. Senator Bruce said in part as quoted by the Senator Advocate: "St. James' Church is interesting to me not only because it is one of the churches of the church of St. James, and one of the instruments that God has selected for the promotion of his wise and benevolent purposes, but because in the character of its rector and its membership, it furnishes an uninterrupted and vivid illustration of what the Negro is, at the present time, at his best. Second to Booker T. "I do not speak the language of flattery, but of absolute sincerity when I say that, in my opinion, you have had no wiser counsel than you. I have had the mental honesty and the generosity of soul to hear witness that even in the benighted state of servitude thousands of men and women have brought into close, familiar, personal relations with thousands of men and women of my race, which in many respects a beautiful woman can understand. "At the same time recognizing, as every true man or woman does, that the old time footsteps members of your race and mine was in a general sense an utterly false and impossible one, in the march of human progress you have striven by every means to overcome. In his higher estate as a freed man, into relations of mutual respect, confidence, and cooperation and friendship with the common citizen; always insisting family upon the proper measure of justice and fair treatment for the Negro and yet, at the same time, precepts of our common Master, and a sanguine public leader, never falling when the occasion really required it, fearlessly to take on moderation, forbearance and human fellowship which—the God of both St. James' Church and Emmanuel Protège Episcopal Church—of my race, too, are not wanting to preach. Tributes by Judges "Some months ago I coped with my own hand, and brought to the attention of some of your parishioners in my household who for many years have set me up as a pastor, and who duct, a beautiful tribute paid by Judge Goodrick, of Frederickburg, Virginia, an old Virginia Virginian and a Confederate soldier from the Civil War, Negro, not simply as a man but as a citizen; and a few days ago I was equally delighted by the well-mertled praise which our Chief Judge Gorter took occasion on the virtues of our native Negro population as good citizens. "It is things like those and the approbation of the Maker who has told us that all men are equal in real requalition to you for your teachings, and affords just grounds to both you and me for feeling that not only is the Xerog making satisfactory progress material but that general recognition of this fact is becoming more and more widely diffused, and is producing a larger, and is more mindful and mutual understanding between the two races."

Resentment is inflamed all the more because Williams was a good citizen with an excellent education and at his job of employment at the Baltimore Chewing Gum Company. He was prominent in fraternal circles and had a host of friends. How highly he was regarded by his employers is shown by the fact that the chewing company closed down in 1991 and fell below employees and executives of the Company to attend the funeral.

I shall build wreaths of the jasmine in my day dreams. Wish me well, friends, wish me well." She ceased to speak as she wandered off into pleasant contours. CHAPTER XXVIII Long she remained at the window, going over the events of the past year and dreaming of what could be done to happy he had made her by coming in her time of need. All the world about her was in slumber and darkness such as here. Here and there a lightning bug flashed in the trees and shrubbery of the garden. A cricket chipped and focused, sage sang, the Lida was still looking from her window, when, at her door, there sounded a faint and exciting knocking. "Miss Lida—Miss Lida," the voice whispered. Lida returned regrettfully from her dreams. She felt her way to the door, where she found that of Chloe, her maid, and opened the door. The girl's eyes were so wide that she shone even in the darkness. Lida "the girl reached out to feel for her mistress's hand. Lida touched her. "I'm here, Chloe," she said. "What's the trouble?" The door then stepped close to Lida. "They's sumitm'g goin' on. Sumitm'g mystery-like—very, mystery-like." "Young Mr. Lauriston done gone off in the dark. Took his gun and gone off.

They's mischief afoot. Shore's you born. They's mischief afoot. But at the mere Burnit she recalled the threat of John Marley and his confident tone of the afternoon. She blanched. Oh Father, she greaned. Oh God! The Brutus!" For a By JOSHUA HENRY JONES mint or two her mind was in a whirl. Anger and fear raced one another across her brain. Anger at the dastardiness and at the fear that would be consumed and her lover哭ed. "He must be warned! He must be saved!" she thought, as she puzzled her brain for a plan. Finally, she realized the such force that Lida was torced to bite her lips to prevent crying out. The maid tried to free the grip but could not. Lida's mind was tormented for but a few moments, then plan suggested itself only to be selected. "I must do something! I must do something!" she repeated repeating to herself. Finally she thought of the child. She could not find her way there at night, even if she were successful enough to beat them to Mr. Gordon's and warn Homet of his own selfishness. She would hide. Dennet in her own house till he could be piloted to the cave in safety. They would never think of looking in her house for a hidden cave in the old unatticed house. No sooner was the plan framed in her mind than she began to plan for its execution. Just then, she and being in my horse, never mind saddling him. The maid departed. "They'll wait down at the cotton gin till all their crowd have come. I hope that they can chance to beat them," she reassured. Hostily threwing about herself a heavy wrap she weat to the yard to await the coming of the horses, she shegilled. Footsteps would be heard and her plan discovered. "Quick, Chloe, some burank bags, she was gone and in a few minutes returned. "Some string—some string. Oh, why didn't you think of some string," she whispered exttedly. Before she left, she explained she had shoved her in the direction of the house again. Chloe ran maily up the steps and into the kitchen, returning soon with a muffin termes with the horses of her father's place since girlfriend it was not difficult for Lila to do the burank horse. With that done she felt the animal to a block and was soon mounted. Continuously she starred and breathed a sigh of relief as she needed the horse could seriously be heard. The animal stepped out gingerly at first but soon became accustomed to the middle-age. As for as the gate was the end of the road, the cotton gin was somewhere to the rear of the house and off to the left of the road about a half mile. Once into the highway she scrickled the animal in the side door he used and urged it into a gallop. The hooffeet could barely be heard. Lida smiled at the fact. It was a ten-minute rite to the Gorton-house. As she neared the house a dog came out and ran. Lida demonounced and soon made friends with the dog. This accomplished she led the horse to the yard fronting the house pitched him to the trellis and then starred for Isennet had been unable to sleep and was sitting at his window watching in the direction of the Loriscent house, where he when he was sick, he was not in bed. When he was sick, he was all attentiveness, he needed for a nursing at the door, he needed for a cup of tea, he needed for a pet from his window. Until some one ripped he would not disturb the family. He was still waiting to be taken around the corner of the house, in the darkness they recognized each other. Lidia's tension relaxed as her heart filled with joy that she had been doing her job. Joy forced tears to her eyes. "Truman — Truman — Truman" she whispered, a great tenderness enveloping her. "Is that you have been doing doing here at this time? You ought to be home," he cautioned. "Sh-h-h," was her warning. "You're in danger, you need to kill him. God, how then be such brutes?" she applauded. Benner climbed through the window and leaned lightly to the ground. Going to kill him, he asked instead of killing him into his arms.

Through many years of trial they have proved their ability to turn out men and women who nearly always go back to their homes and serve as centres of influence for better living.

They need a lot more money that I have offered them and I hope that others will realize their importance and deal liberally with them. They have strong boards of trustees. This fact insures the wise expenditure of their money.” Tuskegee Alumni Launch $300,000 Campaign Hampton, Va.

Mrs. Mary Turner, of 23 Greenock street, Dorchester, made a flying trip to Plymouth to see her grandmother, Mrs. Chunmlecks, on Wednesday, December 24, 1924. Miss Thelma Richardson, of Texas, is back in the city again. She will probably spend a month with her sister, on Quincy street, Roxbury. She hasn't come out as yet for she claims that when she left Texas, they were wearing summer clothes, and this cold, slow Boston, is somewhat of a shock to her, but after you get in the warmer becomes the water, eh, what? The two bachelor apartments of Batavia street have been quiet here since the end of late. We guess that is due to the absence of the two sisters who came back from a visit to New York, and said that the Boston girls "were old fashion and slow," that visiting bachelor apartments were quiet the thing in society. Well, gilles since there is no society in Boston, that kind of performance is quite the thing. Watch out, the Owls has your number now. Will someone ask H. B. own for the time, so we can see the picture of the girl that he loved, loves, and always will love. Boy, if you let the chance to manage to get in Heaven, like you let the chance of telling the fair damel "She was yours, and you'd better not two-time me, because I'm small but mighty," go by, well, brother, you're beating all records straight to "Dante's Inferno." Is that tootlin' 'em plain? A. K., of Brockton, for goodness sake why don't you be yourself? The Owls happened to fly to the shoe city for Christmas night, and roosted on a friendly tree branch outside of a house on Montecello street, and he certainly didn't regret taking the trip on such a cold night. The Owls know you just love yourself to death, but for a Christmas present to persons you come in contact with from now until January 1885. What, natural, and stop telling people you live off of your income. What kind of black income is this, outgoing sweat of thouset's brow, and incoming hard knocks? Well, the Catty Club of Brookton truned in out in Cull. They all certainly took care (girls), with the honorable young lady who resides on Boyston street, and, in the party, with the honorable young party. But the cats thought those strangers were taking their little boys the time comes for them to say, "will," so they sat back and spat, mooed, and ingreneral told to spoil them, looked. I have my doubts as to whether they did or not. I wonder who was the old dame, who took so much authority over A. R. of Boyston street, and cut in on the stranger's Christmas tree down to the church. A. R., you sure have changed, for the Owl heard you say that you hurry right back to Brocken, on every vacation. Morning street must be holding her own. You can take the girl out of the small town, but you sure can't take the small town out of the girl. Watch for this thing again, because you'll sure look so unnatural sitting on the front seat, listening so attentively to the girls, not stick or something, are your Norry.

Columbus, O., Jan. 8. Utter failure of the Christian Church to Christianize and presence of "just as much meanness in the world since the advent of Christianity as before," are the cause of discrimination against Negroes. Dr. Gilbert H. Jones, president of Wilberforce University, declared in addressing a meeting to promote "Racial Cooperation and Understanding." The meeting was attended by a large number of prominent colored people. Tony Lasker is Speaker Dislike of colored people is due to ignorance of the true characteristics and economic conditions of the race rather than to instinct and such feelings may be obliterated. Bruno Lasker, New York, Executive secretary, Race and Civic Commissions of National Conference on Christian National Conference on Christian Wayne, a quartet of songs was sung by a quartet from Wilberforce to a city and a school by Mrs. Williams. The meeting was under the auspices of Columba Urban League, of New York, is executive director, Gov. Gilbert S. Cox, another speaker, of defended the Christian Church, including pastors many race and Christian. intolerance "Race discrimination ought not to be, but is" Dr. Jones said. "The problem is so enormous, so tall in its ramifications and so anything about it. Christianity is a nine bunch of theological doctrines, but it is none better in the world, but it is a bunch of theological things to be put off in one else. Christianity does seem to Christianize and world goes on with just about as much cussedness in it as Christianity came. Ordinary Human Problem "Race discrimination is just an ordinary human problem with the dovil in it. It effort "or restless" Negro to certain motives and districts of the city is a motive that has not been shown. "What does the other have shown out of mistreatment Negro? Some form of prejudice has existed some time begah, although it has not always been on color line. Where one race is bound to hold as bonded and serfs, the subject has had to go through the colored people endure. No Color Repulsion "People wish for tolerance, the end, without knowing the means to achieve this end." Mr. Shea said. "People swear that race prejudice is the ages, that it is an instinct and that one never can bring to an end. But one cannot have an instinctive repulsion to repulsion. Do you want repulsion to the chocolate candy? coecc. "It is not instinctive. It is acquired, and it is learned. You must admit also that we can be rid of it. People who talk about superiority generally Christ Dark Skinned "Unfavorable experiences set the keynote and we become conscious of a dislike for colored people long after we which created the feeling When we hear Southern Negroes making out that Christ ordered that we feel that we are sacrilegious.

White people, accused of crime, were more certain of getting justice than blacks, and were of getting justice from a white jury. declares Lui F. Post, former assistant president Wilson in an article entitled "A Carpetbagger in South Carolina," which appears in the current issue of the Journal of Negro Journal. Mr. Post's article deals with the Negro in South Carolina during the Civil War, during which time he served as a clerk in the legislature and knew, personally, many of the colored officers of the House. The Legislature of 1888 he said, consisted of 10 colored men and 21 white in the Senate and House, colored men and women in the House. Negroes in office in South Carolina, he said, were honest men until white men made them. Referring to the constitution of 1888, which was written by a conspiracy against Negroes, the Negro made a Constitution which stood shoulders high above the white man's Constitution. Rev. Peter Ainslie B Race In Good V Samaritan Prejudice Story For Appeal of Noted Rev. Peter Ainslie Extolls Race In Good Will Sermon --- Taking as his text the well known passage from the Apostle John, "He must needs go through Samaria," Rev. Peter Ainsley, white, of the Christian Temple, made a universal appeal for peace and good will in a letter. After touching specifically on our attitude towards Germany; Russia, Turkey and the Jews, the noted author of the following to say on the Negro; Why do I need for a kind attitude toward *negroes*? Because they come of a race of slaves it is difficult for them to rise. There is not another instance in history of such felicity as that shown by the slaves to their masters who were not slaves. Nor are they Negroes behind as the only guardians of their southern homes. The Negroes showed a fine sense of justice to appreciate. Most of the old slaves are gone, but a kind attitude is due their descendants if only in appreciating the hardships they do not know why the majority of the human race is colored. Statistics show that, in the worst possible case, only one-third is white. The racial tides of the world wash backward and forward with a mystery that none of the Africanans can understand that dropped anchor in the Virginia waters furnished an outlet to the Africans as the English ships did to the English in the Indian Ocean and Plymouth Rock. A part of American life. He became an responsible factor in the social fabric of sugar, rice and cotton raising. Since receiving his freedom he has proved his worth in the Indian Ocean, his ability to attain proficiency in trades and professions, and in his rapid progress to positions of service in the White House.

The re-union of Mrs. Mary Wright, and the family was given December 30th, 1994, in the First Baptist Church of Wrightville, Va. The re-union sermon was preached by Rev. Arthurs, of Low-moar, Va. His text was taken from the L.D. of the L.D. of the L.D. of the L.D. Luke 1:46, "Dlary, Magnify Thy Soul." After this wonderful sermon by Rev. Arthurs there were many speeches made by the members of the family, beginning with the mother, Mrs. Mary Wright, which, now 74 years ago, was the mother of twelve children. She is the mother of twenty-nine children, and fourteen great-ne把这 children. A wonderful speech was made by this mother of the points how she had tried to rear her children and how she had led them in the paths of rectitude. Mr. William Wright, of Baitmore, Md., one of the oldest sons of this mother, made an interesting speech about the meeting and coming together with mother. In his speech he emphasized the point of mother, the one he had always loved and cherished. These words of all deeply into the hearts of each of each one. Mr. Leander Wright in his speech by Mr. Leander Wright in his speech, he said, in the Wright family there were lawyers, doctors, preachers and many other business men and women. The most interesting remark came from him, that we are going to live in this world so that there will be a better reunion when we shall meet around the throne of God, there we would meet father. The eldest girl of Mrs. Mary Wright, Mrs. Emma Parks, of Wrightville, spoke on the love of mother; how she has prayed for that mother to outlive her in this world. She also spoke of how this mother has prayed when she was a child around the fire side with the sister that has left her many years ago. Mrs. Emma Parks says, if we never have another re-union in this church we hope there will be a greater one in the great beyond. A few encouraging remarks were given by Mr. Charlie Hunter, of Covington. He says, this family re-union was one of the grandest affairs he had ever been in. He also said, when he was a boy seeking his soul salvation, Cousin Mary Wright prayed night and day until the Lord blessed my soul. Mr. Forrest Harvey, the grandson of Mrs. Mary Wright, gave the children a wonderful advice. He says, children obey your parents, that your days may be long upon the earth which the Lord thy God giveth thee. This should follow each and every child. Mt. Moriah Calls Pastor Richmond, Va., Jan. 9- Mt. Morail Baptist Church has issued a call to Rev. Randolph Lee Peyton, of Mount Glenn N. J., former pastor of Sixth Mt. Zion Baptist Church here. It is expected he will accept. NEGRO JURIES S WITH WHITE JURIES which it superceded. This Constitution for the first time established common schools, open to all teachers of the State, enabled women for the first time to own their own right, abolished imprisonment for debt and conferred voting privileges upon poor people as well as the right. Following the Ku Klux raiders in which scores of innocent colored people were killed, President Grant sent down army officers who arrested the burglars of alleged Klanman Mr. Post who acted as stenographer in the trials said some 55 were sentenced only five of whom had been tried before juries composed largely He says, "I acknowledge the pro- pose of view, and am only stating a manifest fact when I say that juries than the Negroes with white juries; and in this connection, let me race, blas did dictate those verdicts by Negro men against the verdicts were nevertheless justified." --- and scores of others are reminders to us of what the Negro can become if given a chance. Country where the constitution proclaims equality, in the possession of "certain inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty and property," the African is as much an heir of these inalienable rights as the Englishman or the Scotchman or the Irishman, or the Frenchman, or the Frenchman, or the Pole, or the Spaniard, or the Scandinavian, or those other nationalities that have helped to make the backward races of the backward races it is that much more obligatory upon the forward races to help them to climb. And there are disciples who are following him through this Samarla. God is father of all mankind and his interest and care are equally superior to the person of the whole world. Whoever will may come, and whoever comes is in the circle of his brotherhood. Paul interpreted the oneness of mankind when he declared: "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female for ye or Christ Jesus." Every follower of Christ is by his profession an advocate of brotherhood and an antagonist against prejudice. He must be wise to avoid prejudice as would the road of disease or immorality or crime. Jesus can only break down the walls of prejudice by his disciples' delicacy and wisdom. Whatever cost. I suppose some Jews ceased to fellowship with him after he refused their road of prejudice. It may be that he Christianized denying-fellowship with his disciples who refuse to go the road of prejudice. But that must be of as little consequence to the disciple as it may be then. We must needs go with him through Samaria. K. of P.-Success Lodge No. 25, Bethlemi Lodge No. 6. Value of Beulah Church Lodge No. 10. Value of Hammond Nickels No. 25, Balzahg Lodge S. W. M. F. & A.

Home at 1429 Eastern Avenue. In the heart of what was once the worst red light district in the city, a priest, revolutionizing the church, is revolutionizing the chapter of the section surrounding in White. When a reporter for a American found that 200 children had been feasted there during the holiday, a visit revealed the fact that bread and shame ran riot, the Crown Christ had been raised in practical Christian service, and that men and women in the races were being administered to. This mission, which is conducted by Father Johnson, is now known in that neighborhood as the "Little Trees" and the "Men's Trees" are provided for the men sitting in the district and with this often goes a hot meal to those detritus. It was found that men from the ships who have not been in Batavia since the abolition of the red line district, often come into the seas. Choir Gives Party The Junior Choir of St. John's A. M. E.

The significant in Senator Bruce's letter isold relationship of master and servant inimpossible in the light of Christian blood of man. America is another word for opportunity—eer all. Senator Bruce with the same course this own party on the floor of the Senate conviction to say so. One of the finest tributes paid to any man as a citizen and Christian worker is contained in the letter of Senator Wm. Cabell Bruce, Democrat of Maryland, to the Rev. Dr. George F. Bragg, rector of St. James P. E. Church, upon the occasion of the Centenary Celebration of the Church. Dr. Bragg is termed the wisest counsellor of his race since Booker T. Washington. Reference is made to Dr. Bragg's stand for the full measure of citizenship for the Negro at the same time working for more cordial relationship with the white race. Quite significant in Senator, Bruce's letter is the view that the old relationship of master and servant is now both false and impossible in the light of Christian belief in the brotherhood of man. America is another word for opportunity—equal opportunity for all. Senator Bruce with the same courage that he rebukes his own party on the floor of the Senate has the moral conviction to say so.

Taking the schools out of politics and the naming of a high-type Board of Education has not succeeded in bringing a satisfactory school administration. There are as many tax-payers dissatisfied with the public schools as there ever were. Irregularities in teachers' salaries continue, while overcrowding, lack of play space, shortage of text books, fire hazards, and poor supervision constitute problems which the new administration, like the old, appears unable to solve. Superintendent Henry S. West is naturally regarded as the person most responsible for these ills, and the editorial suggestion of the Baltimore Post that he resign has been followed by charges against him filed with the School Board by the Public School Association. The AFRO-AMERICAN believes that both Superintendent West and Principal Mason Hawkins of the High School should resign. Mr. West supports Mr. Hawkins, and the latter is giving us the worst high school administration in the history of the city. Without prejudice, the public will await official publication of the charges filed by the Association. Nevertheless, the fact that so large a group of parents as are represented by the Public School Association desire Dr. West's removal is an indication that he ought to resign, if not under charges, then for the good of the service. a Sigma Theta Sorority, in annual session this week, passed resolutions urging the regis- ters University Hall of Fame to pass favorable Frederick Douglass. For years ago the name of Booker T. Wash- ter, but failed to receive a qualifying number, could be a graceful gesture on the part of general, and New York University Hall, in particular, to include among their great men, but aside from this indicative and sense of justice, it would mean little in bringing New York University will do can a little to the glory of Douglass and Wash- ter, in the hearts of their countrymen, to generate generation to generation until the end ofask no fine speeches, no bronze tablets, these men, except as we delight to see other stories that we honor.

Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, in annual session in New York last week, passed resolutions urging the regents of New York University Hall of Fame to pass favorably upon the name of Frederick Douglass. Two years ago the name of Booker T. Washington was proposed, but failed to receive a qualifying number of votes. Nothing New York University will do can add one jot or one tittle to the glory of Douglass and Washington. Their fame is secure in the hearts of their countrymen, to be handed down from generation to generation until the end of time. We ask no fine speeches, no bronze tablets, no marble busts for these men, except as we delight to see others reverse the memories that we honor. We beg it not, for we are not beggers. Here are the pages of American history, read them, and if then can be found greater Americans than Douglass and Washington, not yet included in the Hall of Fame, strike their names out. Anti-Lynch Bill Not Timely Senator William M. Butler, of Massachusetts, Republican administration leader, told a delegation of the Equal Rights League, which visited him in Boston last week, he would introduce an anti-lynching bill in the Senate when he thought the time propitious. If by "propitious" Senator Butler means when he can expect it to be put through the Senate without the determined opposition of Southern Senators, that time is remote. If he means by "propitious" when there will be an overwhelming and insistent clamor by Northern Senators for a government check on mobs, that time is equally remote. All lynchings occurred last year in the South, none in the North. We must give Senator Butler credit for his political sagacity. He had Mr. Coolidge elected for a second term and himself named United States Senator. Now he promises his black constituents to introduce a bill sometime in the future—next year or the year after—"when it is propitious."

It used to be said that prohibition would drive all the old soaks to the use of opium, but statistics show that while there has been an increase in the number of habitues a large percentage of them are young boys and girls under twenty who could not have been long addicted to whiskey habit if a all. The cause lies elsewhere, and it seems that we have not found it, nor have we hit on a method to effectually reduce the traffic in opium, notwithstanding the fact that our government annually spends a quarter of a million dollars for its restriction. One fourth of the prisoners in the federal penitentiaries are able to get all the opium they want. State convicts are probably in the same fix. We have tried to regulate the production of opium and control its source of supply, but have made very little progress along that line. Dr. West Under Fire In The Hall Of Fame EDITORIAL PAGE After all this is still an animal world where men must win and hold their places. And until it develops the ability to use the body, the men must learn to use over modern implant of defense. Colored divisions of the American Legion, always watchful of the well-being of the men, should see to it that some of our younger men get into the air service and that they get real practice in manning the modern fighting machines of the air. The air service is another department that should not be neglected. Hundreds of our boys could acquire expert engineering skill that would help this country in times of war as well as in peace and what is essential to economic possibilities of the group.

A Touch Of Christianity Out on the 1400 block of Eastern avenue is a little mission conducted by a Catholic priest. They call it "The Church Around the Corner." The church is filled, ventilated and shackley houses where the economic press of circumstances have driven many of the weaker human beings, the flotsam and jetsam of humanity, this priest has selected to carry out the mission. WM. N. JONES next war. With a few soldiers to hold the lines and a great industrial army to turn out planes by the thousands, the next great human conflict will, no doubt, be an all-out. This becomes a matter of in-*t*-ness to our boys who played such an important part in the last war. For, unless we get in-to the air fighting in the next conflict most of our glory will come from action *behind the lines*. A little girl with bright eyes and hopeful heart even noticed the place out to this writer, and smiling it was the door. The Chalk River girl At the present time there are no actual Negro officers being serving themselves for service in the air division or they are being sidelracked in the well known manner so often practiced. Into this little mission go children of all races, go good and bad men and women, go good and bad men and women, Samurai you see, you see blind Bartencus, and those of whom the meek and lovely Nazarine said "Suffer to come unto me and forbid them not, for such is the kingdom of There are many reasons why the Negro group cannot afford to neglect keeping of weapons and warfare. A mighty cataclasm and shifting of human objectives might easily make it necessary for the Negro to use machine guns. It was their ability to shoot straight and use machine guns that has caused well calculated respect for them abroad as well. Police officers of the district know who once gave them much trouble, are becoming better. They go here to receive and give them advice. If our big and prosperous churches, where men and women of means would turn their attention to the squalid alleyes and congested districts, owned by the poor members, and conduct missions of this type, they would help to solve many a tragic problem. Wife men and women who contribute to such work as this and the priest who is giving his life to it, make you feel a real touch of Christianity. Young Men Of Egypt And Africa A dispatch from Egypt tells of a convention of students of that awakening land solemnly declaring the right for the nationalization of their country, "UNTO DEATH," that "unto death" statement will be given to wise men and savant of Europe to scratch their heads. Young men with the blood of reckless youth have been changed from rice and vegetables to meat during the last generation, could give the war twenty million more lives and these statesmen know they mean it. Spain has just had an experience with men in England and England will never forget her tragic fight in the Transvaal. When the real desire for liberty comes to young men, they are generally unwilling. "The is the 'good nigger' of the this apparatus of an outnumbered race that might otherwise find it. Nevertheless it it some-mes falls, with dramatic consequences, when a fatter of the (Nero) will not bring the (Nero) sense of elevation. They will on some dark, questioning night begin to be no longer assuged by the memory of the good nigger shuffling You will probably understand what that body of students in Egypt are doing.

The young Negro will not say it because in this country the fight for these things is the power of the people. But in Egypt India and Africa, where powerful nations agree to live off the natural and human resources of the country, many countries came time to the conclusion to throw off the yoke. America decided this very thing that tea in Boston harbor. It seems a little blood has to be shed now and then before this world gets to the business of real humanity. Arrived at these intolerable facts, such manners, such mobs. On his dark night of perturbing revelation he does not seem to be afraid of the officers in a psychic state similar to his own.

PROFESSOR FUDGE AMOS HOKUM SAYS AMOS HOKUM SAYS "Frats" In Conclaves The Greek Letter Fraternities held their annual conclaves around Christmas. One gang met in New Washington. A These meetings caused many brilliant down the implements of their various and callings and journey to the scene of the activities and shake hands with long, hot brothers The necessary social side, I understand, was well taken care of to the exclusion of all non-members by virtue of the fact there would be no fraternities without them. The new officers were elected and the new officers and the bugs deported from home more conscious than ever. The future of the Negro race in America depended on the judgments and sincerely activities. As it stands now, the public has very little understanding about these things, and the street only knows that they are something "heavy," but just how heavy, he does not know. Whether they stands or tones in beyond his conception. As a matter of fact there are some men in fraternities who do not know exactly what they stand for or what they will all know better by and by. Surface for the present it is for us to know that many members of the Greek Letter Fraternities cannot read the insignia of their societies in the original Greek. However, this is not the case of the boys' per cent of the boys who are still crying for the bonus, did not know they were fighting to make the world a safe place for democracy. All they knew was it was a matter of fraternity. All they chose what they thought was the lesser. M. E. Council And Dancing At the last Council of the M. E. Church, that body was prevailed upon to lift the ban on dancing and the vision was handed down many of the members who had been dancing all the time, could not only continue in the even tenor of their ways, but also could claim to be good church workers. For a time it looked as if the M. E. Church would regain many souls previously damned, but at the present the question arises whether it is possible to have fights or not to have dancing. Just because there were more Yeas than Nays in the Convention it is no reason for us to suppose that the "Charleston," the "Toddy," and other dance hall athletics, would of a sudden see the situation from the standpoint of the dances. Human nature does no work that way. There will be what might be termed biter ends.

"The reason a lot of us do not hesitate to make a promise," says Mike Hurnell. "Because it is so easy to make another." "Better figures make bigger profits," is a slogan that Mack Sennet believes in.

It also appears that some of the members are much aroused over the matter. The dancers feel they are exercising their rights, according to the last Methodist Congress, by using the dance to help build to propagate health and wholesome fun by dancing. Many of the older members feel that inasmuch as Sharp Street Memorial Church has been dancing there is no use in starting this foolishness now. As yet no decision has been rendered but the probability is, the dance will go on. Rev. Mr. Dean has not had his word and it is hard to say just what it will be but everybody knows Rev. Dean has good sense. He probably figures that most of the kickers are way over the age limit and it will be put a matter of time before the grim reaper will invite them into his parlor. With them out of the way the Church has to go on, but can't go on without members. If the youngsters are run out of it that will settle the Church's future as churches are recruited not from the graveyard but from the cradle. Furthermore the dancers dance in the building next door to the church and not in the church itself. Whereas, to my knowledge, the old sisters and brothers have given bazaars, fairs and whatnot in the church itself. Before throwing any more rocks they should remember how Christ drove the money changers from the Temple. The City seems very much alarmed at the high death rate among the colored population. The Negro is much higher than the time much higher than the white death rate, but this year just passed thru makes our death rate double that of the whites. Naturally we should be aware of many reasons have been advanced as probable causes. Bad housing conditions, unsanitary streets, and the lack of restrooms but one reason has been overlooked. It must be recalled that many colored people come home to Baltimore to eat and while here die from the shock thus driving our death battling average up. "Auroras" To Make Bow Just because the Half Century Club and the Batchelors will not give a social function does not mean nobody else can do so. Both organizers and members of the mittee of ladies, who style themselves "The Auroras." The Auroras will get under way at the New Albert Auditorium on the night of Jan. 11 and expect to have some evening. It is being whispered about that there will be plenty of everything certain there will be plenty of room to be anybody will be there not formally attired, as a blind man could see that big "printed" formal on the in-room table or "formal" proves you can lead a horse but you cannot make him drink. Victim—Cut the whole three short. Barber—What three? Victim—Hair, whiskers and chatter. No man is the master of his own house if the bedrooms are done in pink, mitters Miss Idell Bond. The rain came down in sheets that night, but no burning crosses were in sight. You can say one thing for the death ray. It will kill the cooties also. A flapper is a girl who looks, talks and dresses the way her grandmother longed to do. Dodging Noah's wife, to save it's feathers. A film actress is to adopt her husband's name. It seems hardly worth while for such a short time, snaps, Miss Modello Clark. Well, that's funny. Last night he heard him having an argument with somebody and he kept on saying, "My godfather." Report says $6,000,000 is spent yearly in the United States for food. Not so many people living on love as in the old days. The Rev. Dean Death Rate Alarms "Auroras" To Make Bow "Hello, is this information?" "Yes." "What's good for a cold?" Whether an idea is a good one of ten depends upon the boss' golf score on the previous afternoon. Judge, I'm down and out. Maybe, you're down, said the judge but you're not out. Six months. Pa, where did the ostrich get such long legs? Asked by his son which are the two most valuable things in our 20 Century life, a Baltimore father replied that they are bailing wire and the hairpin. Maybe so, but not for their original purposes any more. Mother, does the young man next door have a godfather? FOOD FOR THOUGHT Teacher: Johnny, what are the two names of Johnny: Masculine and feminine. The masculine is divided into feminine and feminine. The feminine into frigid and torrid. A POPULAR SPEAKER He made an unusually good after-dinner speech. What did he say? He says! Walter give me the check. I hear you've gone into the antique furniture business. Where is your shop? I've got a chain of farmhouses all through the state. Laura doesn't take any chances does she? Anyway she wouldn't accompany me on the plane without a chaperone! Kelly Miller Says Kelly Miller Says The Negro does not usually receive his just portion of the advantages which his labors help to make possible. He received little of the glory and acclaim that his valor helped bring to the National cause. The white man received the tars and leaves to him the Stripes. But the bonus tends to even up things. This wind-fall into the loop of the race, if properly husbanded and safeguarded, may add tremendously to its future economic advancement. To the Negro race, Greetings: "Ring out the old, ring in the new, Ring out the false, ring in the true. The words of Tennyson perforated twenty-four has passed into history: nineteen twenty-five is still a prophecy and a promise. The past at least is secure. During the year just past, the Negro race has experienced several important occurrences. The New Administration The Republican party has won sweeping victory. The new administration will be inaugurated next March, fourth. But as the new Congress will not meet, the New Year has expired. The Negro politicians are prophylactic. The Negro Sanhedrin Last February there was launched in the city of Chicago the Negro Sanhedrin which undertook a new plan of race co-operation and concession. The plan was outlined and the skeleton organization proposed. The effective outcome of the movement awaits upon the conclusion of the early part of the New Year. The Bonus Congress enacted a bonus law, which forced over the vote of the President Coolidge, carrying provision of three or four million dollars to be awarded to the soldiers of the World War. The Navy soldiers will share and share alike with their white fellow fighters in this public largess. From two to three hundred million dollars to the race through this bestowal. The Negro does not usually receive his just portion of the money, he helps to make possible. He received little of the glory and acclaim that his valor helped bring to the national cause. The white man received the stars On returning home from the field of victory he found his opportunities restricted rather than enlarged. He was able to be his valor. But the bonus tends to even up things. This wind-fall into the lap of the race, if properly managed, would be fortified, may add tremendously to his future economic advancement. The installation of a Negro personnel of the Veteran's Hospital at Tuskegee marks the happiest outing of the year for the face of the case looked ugly and threatening. Under the statesmanlike handling of Dr. Moton, and the American Medical Association, with Dr. Dumas in charge of the professional feature, the matter was brooked. Thankfully to President Coolidge. While in the mood of thankfulness we may as well render manners and kindness for kindly and righteous intervention in behalf of the Houston soldiers. The election led to the intelligent and patriotic division of the Negro community, and the fortunes of the Grand Old Party to an unprecedented and unexpected victory readily preceded the war with the Japanese, and the racial moment and importance. The effect of the division is fast, with the great political consequences for the future. Renewed Philanthropy The munificent contributions to Hampton and Tuskegee rank among the striking events of the year. Fear was expressed that the fountains of northern philanthropy had dried up. We heard little during the past few years of the munificent donations that characterized the days of Washington and Frizzell. But presto, change. In a moment, as it were, in the twinkling of an eye, these two great schools have doubled the foundations which their founders devoted a life time to establish. But most striking of all, was the clear sky donation to the Johnson C. Smith University of Charlotte, North Carolina. One million, six hundred thousand dollars goes to the permanent endowment of this Negro college from a Southern white man who rose above race and color in the distribution of his fortune. The Literary Revival For a number of years immediately preceding and succeeding the Nero question was taken in American history as a trophy belongs to the editors for this neglect. The magazine editor who does not publish a public what its taste calls for will often be like Otello without a job. But during the past year or so, the Nero question has become an important pedological literature. This indicates that the public mind is interested in this type of discussion. When the public mind is closed, there is hope. A number of books and stories have been written by gro writers which shows a new spirit and breathes a new purpose. Garvey Ups And Downs The Garvey Movement has undergone interesting experiences, whose appraisal one finds it difficult to understand. The outcome where a captivious genius is the guiding spirit. During the year this significant movement has been playing at seasons. In language of the planation翱翱, sometimes and sometimes down, and sometimes level with the ground." Let us now turn attention to the year of our Lord, nineteen twenty-five. What is the program for the year? What are some of the object-awards which the race should strive during the next ensuing 12 months? The prospect is neither spectacular nor brilliant. There is nothing now above the horizon which challenges attention in a striking way. The prospect is systematic to be orderly, systematic and constructive. The Bonus Veteran's Hospital The Election The New Year Saturday, January 10 nd Section ually receive his just portion of labors help to make possible, ary and acclaim that his valor cause. And the tars and leaves to him tends to even up things. This the race, if properly husband-dd tremendously to its future The New Administration The Republican party has won a sweeping victory. The new administration will be inaugurated next week. The Congress will not meet until December first, the new order of things will hardly make much headway till the New Year has expired. The Negro politicians are probably disadvantage to flow from the political fountain. Matthews has posited his seventeen points. Discrimination is to be done away with in the departments. Negroes are to be appointed before approached. Remedies legislation is to be enacted. The political milestone is scheduled to arrive in nineteen twenty-five. But, with such quickness before it, is good policy to hope for all of these things; but to expect little or nothing. Then all that comes will be received with appreciation but without disappointment during the incoming year. Instead this power of prediction came. Civil Service Reform The discrimination against the Negro in the Civil Service has not reached such a phase that there is no system of identification will be substituted for photographs. This will bring the race the greatest advantage in a hope of a relative or administrative action in recent years. All that is now needed is concerted effort of the Negro community to this end. We may hope that indeed Negroes will again recruit clinical positions without discrimination, as they did when Theodore Roosevelt was Civil Service Commissioner. Residential Segregation The Negroes of Washington have fought the question of residential segregation through the two lower courts and have lost. The decision as the case now stands between protesters and authorities, not to sell to Negro purchasers, has been upheld by judicial decision as far as tested. The N. A. A. C. P. has engaged to push the issue through. He will risk the fate of the entire issue upon a single throw of pitch and toss. A victory from the Supreme Court will be a victory for Dred Scott Deion. It would place the property rights of the race about where that infamous and unfair decision was made to the die in east. The case must be fought to a finish. Every Negro in the law should rally to support P. P. in this critical issue. In the language of Macmurray: "Shame on the false Furcasus who linger in his home. While Porsenan is on his home to Rome." Any Negro who lags behind in this vital issue by reason of rivalry, jealousy or misunderstanding has a chance in the hour of danger. The Negro Sanhedrin The second and determinate meeting of the Negro Sanhedrin will take place during the New Year. The plans outlined in the new meeting will be put in practice at Washington an agency to deal with all matters of race wide interest. This clearing house arrangement will be based upon the cooperation and support of the agency and engaged to unite in an unifying plan of procedure. Now is the time for all interested to be thinking of this great consummation which we all so long have sounded and mourned because we found it Thus we stand at the parting of the years. Our vision looks both forward and back. Sufficient unto the years are the ones we call the callers that are good, constructive and amillorative. Forgetting the things that are past, let us press forward to the mark of the high calling of the NEW YEAR. 15 Years Ago Items From The Afro-American of January 8, 1910 Ex-Register Lyon was trying to interest Congress in passing to reauthorize the Food and Procurement Bank.
