Number 21 CHE SAVE STANDARD LIFE IS CALL TO BUSINESS Leading Men Of The Country Called To Atlanta Tuesday To Discuss Insurance Affairs S500,000 LOAN REFUSED Condition Of Company Said Not To Be As First Represented. Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 16.—Save the Standard Life Insurance Company is the call sent out to the leading business men of the country, assembled here Tuesday in a special conference in the interest of the Standard Life Insurance Company and the Citizens Trust Company, its banking subsidiary. The call of the business men of the country for a conference came after the loan of a half million dollars, negotiated through R. R. Moton and Julius Rosenwald, failed to go through. AFRO telegrams to Herman Perry, president of the Standard Life Insurance Company, Julius Rosenwald, in Chicago and others, as to why the promised loan to the Standard Life failed to go through, has so far, remained unanswered. Clarence H. Kelsey, chairman of the Title Guarantee and Trust Company, telegramged the AFRO today from New York, throwing new light on the case when he gives the following reason for the failure of the loan. "Amount raised to advance to life insurance company seemed insufficient to answer the purpose and a larger amount could not be raised." The St. Luke Herald, published in Richmond, Va., in its current issue publishes the following inside information on the loan: Mr. Perry brought a flowery picture of the possibilities of Standard Life securities to Julius Rosenwald and his associates, if only they would invest $600,000 in the company. Mr. Rosenwald listened and sent his attorney, Adler, out to investigate what Perry told him was true. Mr. Adler reported back that the affair of the Standard Life were in such a condition that to invest money in It was like throwing it in a sewer, that instead of the $500,000 that Perry had told him would be necessary for it, it would take far over a half a million dollars. But in the meantime Perry called a meeting of the stockholders of the company to view the views on the matter of the loan. He asked each to wave his share of the earnings of the company until Mr. Rosenwald and his associates had been paid in full. They agreed to do. Later they found that stock entrusted to Perry, which he did not own but over which he secured control by operation of subsidiary companies in the eastern Trust Company, a wide concern seeking control of the largest financial institution of its kind in the world. This beaten-up situation would dropped negotiations for the loan.

Last week Flournoy Miller, spent a few brief hours with his family as the show jumper and the Running Wild" which he left for a few brief hours with his family as the show jumper. The Majestic theater, Buffalo where it opened a week's engagement on January 10, took to look over a performance of a show in which he is interested, as the author, in the company with its star and stage manager, it happened that the Page was present what he heard: "Nothing but the best that is in everyone can't co-ordinate to give a satisfactory entertainment, then one or both should be let go. Don't be afraid to place your personal preferences or dislikes above their work. You can't afford it. It is not your show. It is not the property of your manager nor yet mine. No not the owner of the press for each performance. The rest of us are mere instruments. When the public quarrels about a box office till, or any other show is done. A show can't live on reputational performance must be the best. I wouldn't let my own brother get away from that standard in a show in which I am That speech told a lot. It explains most of the show's "Shut Up and Runnin' Wild" and a number of preceding things has been a success. More Florence Pugh shows for the show business, and that goes for the whole business, and that goes down the show world over as "Black Carl" one time magician, but of late years connected with the Miller and Lyles attractions for several years and is reputed to be the best attraction that manner.

Kahn, Alan Dale, Eugene O'Neill, Paul Robeson and Dora Cole Norman, in addition to the work of staff editors, Theophilus Lewis, George S. Schuyler and J. A. Rogers. A significant thing about the issue, is that it contains a high percentage of expensive and artistic advertising and has been successfully brought out without resorting to the black jack method of advertisement, soliciting that has usually prevailed in such special theatrical editions as have heretofore been offered to the public. S. H. Dudley, Charles Turpin, St. Louis theater owner, and Whitney and Tutt are subjects of special treatment and they richly deserve it, for they truly represent the Circuit, the theater and the performer, the essential elements of show life.

And I shall tell you every week The strange things that we do: The toughness and 'the foolish Mind—I'm not criticisin' But things that hinder and impede— It's time we're realizin' So noisy! We're a noisy crowd, No more than other races. But 'the most known' that colored folks Have no respect of places; I went out to Hospital In the town we go to. The nurses moved with noiseless feet, And doctors whispered low. There padded halls permit no sound? Commotion? Nothin' near it. I sank into an easy chair, To ask all in one a whirl. Bulld—all at once I heard a bang! A slamming door and 'HOWDY!' A jazz tune whistled loud and long. Just like an alley rowdy. Of course 'twas Ham's own dusky With smile so sure, engaging, I found myself smile in return, and I laughed. But laying jokes aside, my friends— That brings this point to mind.

COLORED ACT SMASHES LONDON RECORD FOR '24 Layton And Johnson Idols Of London Society And British Radio Fans. RECEIVE ENORMOUS SALARY Layton Former Partner Of Henry Creamer Wrote Strut Miss Lizzie Reports from London say that Layton and Johnstone, the popular American act, are the most successful American invaders of the British metropolis now there. They have enjoyed a longer stay than any of the other acts and their grosses have exceeded those of their contemporaries also. They were discovered working in a night club by Elsio Janis, so the story runs, and were immediately advertised and profited thereby. They have been at the Cafe de Paris for the last six months, where their name has gained them a percentage of the gate with a tidy guarantee. For broadcasting during the day they are also said to receive handsome fees and appear weekly in the newspapers each week. It is expected that they will leave town for twelve weeks shortly to play provincial contracts which were made before they became the rage here, after which they will return to the Cafe Paris, Turner Lyton, of Oxford, more than his partner. He is the son of John W. Layton, one of Washington's foremost musicians, and himself one of the most successful of American songwriters. Among the most recent successes of Layton and his former partner, John W. Layton, "Old Southland" and "Strut Miss Lizzie," which were played in every city and hamlet in America, and with repeated success abroad. The former two songs were by no means the only two songs that Mr. Layton and Mr. Creamer, his partner, collected royalties from. So please they that, it would not be possible to enumerate them here. The success of the team is encouraging and gratifying to their friends and contemporaries on this side of the "pond." N & JOHNS Furious Fight At Roosevelt With the screen production of "Hearts of Oak," James a Herne's well known melodrama, which plays the Roosevelt Monday and Tuesday, January 15-20, there comes to the masterpiece the achievement of another age. In the William Fox production, this stage masterpiece takes the form of a high powered, modern drama, the action of which sweeps from the New England and continues to the Arctic regions in and around the series of heart throbs and thrills. Hobart Bosworth, in the principal role of Terry Dunlain, enacts one of the strongest roles of his career—and as two-fisted sea faring men, he has been seen to act some of the most memorable roles that have ever been put on the screen. "Hearts of Oak" is the story of a sturdy old retired seman, Terry Dunlain, who has adopted a boy and a girl to seek him grate to manhole and whose schoolmate, mystical girl, has been the apple of his eye and he has showered the affections of a father upon her, only to realize, as she reaches beautiful maturity, that he has turned to the love of a man with feelings, ignorant of the fact that Chrystal and Ned are anamoured, and asks her to marry him. The young couple, rather than interfere with the happiness of their benefactor, agree to sacrifice Terry. The girl feels Terry. Ned consumed in his grief, goes away and takes to drink. It is not until Terry finds him, broken, that he learns of the sacrifice of his children. The method he takes to reify his long results makes your heart beat and brings tears to your eyes.

DROPS 100 FEET FROM LINERS DECK "In Every Woman's Life," booked at the Rogent on January 19-20-21, is described by pre-reviews as having: Colorful atmosphere, luxuries settings, handsome photography and a story with considerable heart interest combine to make this a feature very much out of the common. It is a modern drama of society, with three men in pursuit of one woman, one of the admirers being a downright cad, another an elderly self-sacrificing chap, number three, the alluring youth who wins her. The opening reel plunges right into a whirl of merry life in Paris, followed by one of the film's spectacular unique hits, a breakout film about a woman of Desanges which is attended by guests on horseback. The situation on shipboard are deftly handled so as to create red-hot suspense and a big punch is administered with stumbling onto Desert Green. The latter's fall and Desert's dive from the liner's side, a clear drop of over one hundred feet, register as vividly as the most rabid admirer of sensational stunts could design, execute and shoot of the villain by the paralyzed Count, who by a tremendous effort of will power, manages to summon up enough strength to finish Carlton when he attacks the heroine. Both Sally and the villain are appalled in order to shield Desings, but the latter confesses just before he dies and a happy climax is brought about. The "Horse Behind the Cedars," by Charles C. Chestnut and by Chester Gloeheide, authorized director respectively plays here January 28-29. Girl's Rescue Gives Thrill The rescue of a girl from death before a swiftly moving train provides a hair-raising thrill in "The Wanters," which plays the Dunbar Friday, January 23rd. The rescue service to bring about the reunion of the girl, Myra Hastings, a former servant, with her millionaire husband, from whom she had parted because his snobbish family had made life miserable for her. Moreover this stupendous production is crammed with these burning questions Who are the wanters? What do they want? The world is what they want. What jewels and happiness. Others have the happiness and still want something else. There are wanters who want high life; others money; some a baby's kiss; a mother's caress. All the wanters, their desires, their ambitions, are pluured here. They are the ones who keeps your attention on the screen to the very end because it convincing.

The interests, involved are known to be in a strong financial position. The house has been dark for several months, lack of durations because the cause for the prolonged closing. If this alleged difficulty can be bridged and a consistent price scale be established and adhered to, it is belied by many that the theatre would be listed in the winning class. Since the criticism of former managers has been made, but those on the inside contend that it was humanly impossible to conduct so large an enterprise without working funds. Apparently the local managers had spent without straws," of a matter of course falling, no matter what herculean efforts were put forth. The support of the public has not been all that has been hoped for, but no quarrel has been raised on the part for spending away where please. The prospective lessee propose to place the best attractions available, and then await results. Headed by Allen and Stokes, one of vaudevilles best liked teams, the "Allen and Stokes Company" have returned to the Regent with a new production from stem to stern. The reputation had preceded them, their company was justified. No company playing the colored time has anything on this clean, snappy, and well dilled bunch. The leisurely action so evident in the former production has been geared up to a thousand of shows move along like Rolls-Royce. But Allen essays the comedy portion, and fiddles—there was no Romo to burn like there was when the ancient Nero drew his "wicked" bow, but there were many "soles" on fire before Mr. Allen and his bow let up. Mrs. Allens and Mrs. Allen choose to say it, does the leads capably and looks charming in the doing thereof. Eight "gals" and four "hot-stoppin" boys "tap," "buck and wing," "Russian," "Strut" and do every other little dance step in the "hoofing" book.

She didn't understand their way of living any more than they understood her way—and they hated her because she was beautiful! Could she help it because she was on her knees?

Johnson of Nashville, who has been presenting local chorus groups to the general public in Texas cities. A woman critic, visited the concert and wrote the story. The particular woman is the most severe critic in the state. The story informs us that the white patrons far outnumbered the colored persons present. This is a mark of more friendly relations. This with the fact that Prof. Johnson has been working in this field for a number of years under the auspices of the educational board of the National Baptist Church, shows that the fully appreciates the value of Music and the cultural value of the platform and stage to our advance.

This is still the policy at Ford's Theatre. It may not be irrelevant to add a troupe to a colored troupe was the signal for the appearance of a gang of scalpers who profiled greatly from their activities. During the run of white productions in the theater, the house was divided between white and colored "gallery gods." The white battles often succeeded in extinguishing the house, and distinguished scaled, which they starlightway proceeded to crack with black jackets.

Personal appearances of amateurs was then much in vogue and all of America's fictional celebrities at some time were routed out for admirers' chenches upon and to shout themselves hoarse. Ford's and the Academy also had a great group of masters in the serious side of the world. It was said that all of the attendants from the Negro group of those days could boast of having seen the minstrels, and "David the Shepherd." LEE AND DALY The late Henry Lee, was the first Negro to open a theatre for Negroes in the city. Several attempts were made at Queen's on Lexington Street, where he met Mr. Lee got a good theatrical toehold. The late William H. Daly was responsible for the establishment of the first house in which the best in the city could perform. An unfortunate combination of business transactions prevented him from carrying out a much cherished plan to build a 1000 seat house. It is to be regretted for had his plains borne fruit much of the unnecessary competition would have been absent today. There was not many of the plans he would have built, so much of their present success William H. Daly.

"Eather" In Pittsburgh Pittsburgh, Jan. 12—Miss Venella Zeller produces in this section of the country, will produce the "Dream of Queen Theatre on Friday, January 14" Kansas City, Mo. Jan. 7 Last night at the Odeon, for the grist time in the record of local music, the local musicians were privileged to be seated alongside the representatives of the white population on the main floor, including the of the Grand boulevard auditorium. This unique arrangement was occasioned by the rectory of the church of Hays, who, according to authenticated accounts, has created a veritable furor, not alone in Boston, New York and other cities, with the symphony orchestras of these cities, but also in the capitals of Europe, including a "command" relic of the city's history, amongummers for King George V. He has musical talent far above that which is inborn in common folk. Song with him is an unaffected soul expression. Songs are sung in the earl of men and wondrous throat. He every inflection gives warrant of having been derived from the instruction of noble and approved masters. In every note, he utilizes the same rhythmic pattern of one who, even under constant racial handicap, has found his work and place in life. That he is an intense student, zealous to make the most of his phenomenal gifts for the broadening of his mind, he has demonstrated beyond curvil or doubt by the arrangement of his program and the superb manner in which he performed his task; a task, jet-set say, has him to sing for any singer of the male high voice whose name could be mentioned in this relation. When a member of a race whose mother, an ex-slave, bore him on a patio, he was called a village, can rise to such heights of song as Roland Hayes achieved in Mozart's archaic concert aria, "Per Pieta, Non Riese," and in Schubert's songs including that splendid invocation to song "To the Lyre;" that dear little lit "The Rise" and that the wondrous "The Tear" and M in Riehle when these are sung in the best style of the art, with resonant intonation, excellent enunciation, perfect breathiness, and a submissive submit willingly to the charm and the enlightenment of such an essay: Boston Likes Lillyn Boston, Jan. 15—Boston received Florence Mills and the "Dixie-Broadway Co., with open arms as it did on the production's first visit, but it is raving over the cleverness of Lilian Brown, who is now doing the contrife of Miss Brown is the revelation of the newly added features.

The manager of a company playing a later show this week refused a week's engagement from the manager of a lower Pennsylvania Avenue house when requested to have the girls of his chorus "pop it up."

He and his team won seven field goals put him on the honor roll as high scorer for the afternoon's work. Then, the elongated one, for the losers, failed to live up to his name, and at times his playing was exactly opposite. However, his single field goal, which he had teammates Cullen, with one goal to his credit, was the other redeeming feature for the Normal ladies. It didn't progress five seconds before Woods had bagged the first basket and was followed closely by Mack, Jackson and Shorts, who up three baskets in the first quarter. Boyle Puzzled At times the visitors didn't seem to realize what it was all about and with puzzled expressions appeared in the ball game in play. The few times Bowie was within shooting distance, the stage was set and the ball came from the way the ball anywhere but at the basket which might have been made of the same material as the kicks from the way they steered clear of it. The second and third high school teams that took the floor repeated the same routine, simply played them off their feet.

MORE CHELTENHAM Continued From Page One unfortunate boys makes it impossible for the boys to improve their tutelage," "Except for the broom factory," says the report, "and a few in the shoe repair shop, boys are taught no useful trades." "The worst evil of any penal system is hiring out of convicts." Instead of employing the hundreds of boys on Cheltenham's 1200 acre farm, it is permitted to lie idle, while the boys are hired out to farmers at 50 cents a day. Boys are sent into all parts of the State and even on the Eastern Shore. Their parents do not know where they are and neither do Cheltenham authorities. In fact, they are so many slaves—working at the will of a master for no pay and beaten and maltreated when they do not. Food is Intolerable Inspection of the food given the boys on the day of our visit and the information obtained from some of the inmates with whom we were able to talk without the threatening surveillance of the guards, convinced us that the boys are improperly fed. The diet is dry bread, bean soup, black coffee or tea. Little meat is given them, no butter and little, if any, milk. Box Struck With Stick During the session of the Grand Jury the case of George Washington, crippled and tubercular, an image of the man with a bullet sent by this boy to the AFRO, charged that he had been struck with a stick by Stupey Pytes and given a sentence of imprisonment, was substantiated when, thru Mr. Continued On Page 6 Col. 2, Andrews, the lad was called before the Grand Jury. He was out at the hearing that George Washington was sent to the institution when he was 11 years of age from St. Elizabeth Mountain because of violation of any law, but because he was a homeless orphan. This boy is a cripple and had suffered his fourth year with tuberculosis of the knee, and it was testified that he was often beaten and mistreated because he had talked at meal time. Cheltenham rules absolute silence at the meal house. Drastic Recommendation After stating that the State, and city had practically no control over the institution and that they are unable to remedy the conditions prevalent there, the Jury made the following recommendation: "We, therefore, recommend that the courts of this State and this city send no more boys to Cheltenham, and that the appropriations heretofore made to that institution be discontinued." The city of Baltimore appropriates about $38,000 annually to Cheltenham, the State, $12,000. This is on ten basis of about $190 for each boy. A member of the Grand Jury stated at the hearing that it would be better to have the boys sent to the House of Correction or the "pen" than continue to send them where they are treated brutally. It was pointed out that the withdrawal of the appropriation would force drastic changes in the manner in which the State and city are handling their inventories.

FRAN Between Paca and Look for the Large Bay Window By W. A. MASON (Physical Director, X: M. C. A.) THE UNWRITTEN LAW It seems to me that the American people have come to the place where the policeman and law-enforcement are self-reliance, are the most important checks on our every-day life. We are constantly watching to see if we need to use a colloquialism. We usually succeed too, for the other fellow whose duty it is to check back on us, is as a rule we have little trouble in having our own way. Thus we come to form a habit, and this, I think, counts largely for the general laxity of the times in the other fields of endeavor. Athletes Scored The writer, who came to Baltimore more just at the opening of the football season, was somewhat surprised, if not amazed to notice the freedom that not only he had on the part of our high school athletes, there is no doubt at all in his mind but that these men had been given the opportunity not in process of watching and spying, and punishing of those who fall by the way-side. There must be a cooperative spirit in the players. While the coach is important, fundamentally it is the players' attitude that counts the most. The fact is some men do not have the will to be coached. They know it all. But the day is fast coming, if indeed it is not already here with some coaches, when this fellow, by virtue of his own attitude, keeps himself out of the game. Bors Admit Smoking A certain young athlete, Mr. X, came into my office the other day with a cigarette in his mouth, to study an interpretation of a basketball rule. He also received my interpretation which he admitted his coach had given him. Recent physical examinations of high school, and even grade school students showed the obvious fact that too many of our young boys are cigarette smokers by their own confession. This is evil which the boy alone Cigarette Esll But what may we expect when the younger lad sees his hero, and every boy has a hero, who is appalled by smoking cigarettes too? He thinks he has a splendid argument, and he uses it to advantage. Now I do not wish to be quoted as saying that smoking keeps a man healthy, but it will affect most folks want immediate results to prove anything. I am reminded of a friend who told me that he had been smoking cigarettes ten years, and that he has smoked cigarettes which may have been perfectly true. However, I believe that whatever illness he may die with, will be of shorter duration due to the fact that his smoked cigarettes and that his body resistance is thereby lowered. It is a proven medical fact that the action of both nicotine and al- HOWARD QUINTET DOWNS ARMSTRONG Washington, D.

Philadelphia Pride, before a capacity crowd at the Waltz Dream on last Friday night. It was one of the most thrilling and clearly played games ever witnessed by shore fans. The Panthers drew first blood here, the starling Panthers wade down from the foul line. Palu Fells, the Big "Y" forward, went him one bit before he hit the Raimond on a beauty on a Panthers, with Campbell and campbell alternating with shots from the floor, soon went into the lead and when they were leading by the score of 12 to 8. But the real sensation came in the second half. Saunders, the crack shore center was so closely guarded by the Panthers' goals by Chambers during the first half. The kanky shore center gave up, as did Murray, the hard plugging and consistent "Y" forward. It was at this point that the Panthers were outgeneration. The Big "Y" forward was in McLain, and for Saunders sent to Todd. The switch worked like a charm, and in a few minutes the Panthers and tied the score 22 all. It was mainly through the efforts of McLain, the ever-reliable surfer forward and "footsmum" Todd that he was basked in his success, scintillated with four field goals, one of which was made from a difficult angle as he scooped the ball from the floor and swished it through the strings. McLain tallied three times for the win. After the "Y" took the lead there was no doubt as to the outcome. There was a deluge of field goals. There was a deluge of field goals. The Philadelphia bounce under the strain and were completely demoralized. The "Y" on the other hand played their best game while under the pressure and emerged with color flying. Captain Johnny Knox played his usual cool-headed and calm game, and directed his men as Nappon did. Ralmonde Greene, as usual, scintillated with three field goals himself. The decisive victory over the Panthers establishes the Atlantic City mournage championship of the Eagles.

ASKS SHOW DOWN ON LINCOLN CONTRACT Lincolns Only Had Infield And Three Good Pitchers --- By BEN TAYLOR The rejuvenated "Lincoln's" startles the season with a rush, and on all sides could be heard pennant kick for the peeky New Yorkers. The power behind the throne of the "Glans" decided he needed to clean house, new faces are what the fans are cloning for at Protectory quoll he, so forthwith the man" was tied to such "Stars" as "Cronicle" Joe Williams, that King of pitchers, the daddy of them all, the oldest pitcher in point of service in Eastern League, having issued his career almost 20 years ago and still going. Players Fired Joe Thomas, a fair outfielder, and "Dale" Wiley, a catcher, were also given the Williams, Williams and signed with the Royal Glans and will be looked after at the proper time. Wiley dropped out of league baseball to his fast growing practice in training. I think that is inside him shingle. Judy Gans, one of the old school ball players, was made manager, with Marcelie as captain, later coach was added, with Lachie a star infielder 20 years ago. Gans was told a winner was wanted, and it was up to him to produce. How well he did, he did, records will tell, he would be wary of many more games, probably made a more determined bid for the pennant if injury and sickness had not cut such a wide swath in their ranks, time both catchers and one of their best outfielders were out of the Club Poorly Controlled After mild-season Gans was sel- dom able to put his regular club on the field, then, too, his club was not under his control. He was partly due to the man, and the other was, he did not have sough power given him to enforce the Lincoln at times would look like pendant winners, having this dash and "pep" a championship club must have, but they were not con- trolls. Gov. Victim of Jinx Richard Gee replaced Wiley as first catcher, and made a good job of it when he was able to work. He seemed to be. He was injured and sick almost a third of the season, he can be considered a very reliable catcher, with a good throwing arm, and a good receiver, a fair fielder, and a base runner, having served less than three years in the big show, "Texas" Burnett was his mate behind the plate. He is also a younger player most of the time, a fair thrower and bitter, with lots of pep. However, he has a very bad temper that will have to be controlled if he expects to be in the lineup. He has been dropped by the Lions for this reason. Shortstop and Second Ably Supported At second was George Scales, a fast big man, a good fielder, with a fast arm for double plays. Judging from his work in the games against my club, he can be classed as one of our hitters. Shortstop was aly looked after by that little pepper box, Gerard Williams. It was impossible for him to be quiet on the bat, but he more than made up for with his indomitable spirit. Of course, that does not mean that he did not have ability. He is a very good shortstop, good on ground and in baseball, is very fast on foot and because of his diminutive size was very hard to pitch to. He is a fair hitter and goes after few bad balls, but he is a good man. He is a youngster, just finishing his third year in the big show. Marcelle, a Poer on Third Marcelle, considered by many the peer of third basemen, was at the hot corner and player it in his usual faultless style. He was not with a fast and engy arm, covers lots of territory, and probably has no equal in knocking down hard hit balls and getting his man at first. He is also a good base runner and over the average he has lost of pop and fight, being a good hitter at times. However, he does not exercise enough control of his temper while on the ball field, which, if he is not careful may get him into trouble. He is still young in years, though classed as a veteran in baseball. Tallest Man in Baseball "High Pockets" "Hudspeth, the tallest man in colored baseball, was at first, and is considered one of our first basemen, because of his long first inning, infielders on many close plays. A good fielder and possessing a good arm, fair at but and on the bases, played his first game in the big leagues. A. B. C.'s in 1920. "High Pockets" should develop into our greatest first baseman in the next two years. Black, of the three clubs, Hilldale, Black, of the Lincoln Giants, that the Hilldale, of the Lincoln, edge with the Lincoln second best. Today as in Years Past CITY·CLUB A BETTER SMOKE 8 STRAIGHT Cigar Solid Everywhere CONSULT DOCTOR FOR MEN Office Hours: 9 A.M. to 9 P.M. Daily 2 A.M. to 2 P.M. Sundays Players Fired They had one of the poorest outfields in the league, largely because he was a makeshift outfield. The season was outfitted with Wilson in right. A very good little fielder, fast on foot, and over the average at bat. He is also one of the smallest men in baseball, making it extremely hard on pitchers that have poor control. Kenyon was in center. He is a fair fielder and hitter. He was also used as a pitcher. Orville Singer, Cleo Smith and Burnett alternated in left. Singer joined the team in 1981. He is the fastest men in baseball and a fair hitter. Smith was obtained in 1982 and was used mostly as a utility player. Burnett was one of the regular catchers. Excellent Pitching Staff They had one of the best pitching staffs in the league. D. Brown, John Taylor, William Evans and Holland formed the nucleus of a staff that would have won a majority of their games. Brown must be given the lead over the others. When he is right, which is nearly all the time, he is almost unbeatable. He and Winters, without doubt, are our greatest lefthanders. John Taylor had one of his best years, thanks to the laxity of the home umpires. In allowing him to use his "emery" ball, which has been declared illegal in all leagues except the Eastern League. Evans, a youngster, was an in and outer. With another year's experience he should be able to take his regular turn. Holland, after midseason was given his release for some reason, but he should have been one of their mainstays. He is now in Cuba and from press reports is back in his old time form. Manager Gans tried to do a comeback in the box on several occasions, but the old "souper" would not respond. In summing up the Lincoln's, I think they did well to finish third. No club can win a pennant with nothing but an infeld and about three good pitchers, with a fair outfield, and catchers that are about the average. I can see them no higher another season without the addition if several new faces. Two good pitchers, two good pitchers, two good pitchers. (Sneat, Week, Baugharach, Glauca) COLLEGE WAR WRECKS H. U.

Had Poor Outfield Excellent Pitching Staff Second Team "TEX" RICKARD SAYS WILLS IS 1924 CHAMPION Tex Rickard, New York boxing promoter, has recently picked his "first ten" in each of the nine divisions of boxing classifications. He has also taken the fighters' performances for 1924 and Dempsey's position is complimentary. In reality Harry Wills heads the list. He has the heavyweight class, Harry Wills ranks, second after Jack Dempsey. The world agrees with Paddy Mullins, manager of the Brown Panther, that if given the weight champion it Dempsey ever fights him. George Godfrey, of Philadelphia, is rated number eight among the big fellows, with Louis Pirro seven, even after the miserable bout in bouts after the Wils-Pirro fight. Among the lightheaves, Kid Norfolk is third. following Gene Tunney, and Ung Sribring, second. Harry Riley, in tween Tiger Flowers and the middleweight championship. Joe Hicks, formerly Allentown Joe Gans, is ninth position and Larry Battleside in among Rickard's favored ten at all. Rickard falls to list any colored fighters in the welterweight, lightweight, junior lightweight divisions, junior lightweight divisions, Lombardo holds fifth position and the New England sensation, Chick Suggs, is left out entirely. Among the host of flyweights that are of championship material, only three, known is the three and he drew number three, according to the promoter. Flowers-Anderson May Fight Here Jack Farrrell, promoter of Chester, Pa., was in the city this week trying to figure out how to handle Flowers of Atlanta and Lee Anderson, to take place in Baltimore some time this month. He remembered that Anderson was the boxer that knocked out Kid Norfolk, of Baltimore, a thing that only Sam Langford, Harry Wills, and others were able to do. Flowers' sensational rise is the talk of the fistic world and the bringing together of these two leather-clad fighters ought to pack any place in Baltimore.

He has some years ago, in which he was a mess of battles. You couldn't find any Norfolk money around Harlem the night of the fight and fans were of the opinion the Kid and Tex Rickard held a closed session that didn't like things were as they ought to be.

It was common gossip among ball players last September and October about the Detroit club and several Black Sox players received letters from members of the Western club saying that Blount, had cut them loose, had been fired.

Harry Wills Says He Expects To Live A Hundred Years And Be Fighting At Fifty BY HARRY WILLS When I began this story I promised to reveal the secret of my great strength, fine health and perfect condition. Although I had beenached to the gym, which athletes begin to take on fat, I am still as firm and solid as I was when a younger. This is the result of a system of fasting that has been used for twice a year. Twice a year, in the spring and again in the fall, I go on a fast for a period of about two weeks. During this time nothing happens to me. In that way all the poisons that accumulate in the systems are expelled, giving me a new lease on life. Because of this system I expect to live longer and be able to sight until I am 50 at least. It keeps my eyesight in perfect condition and my muscles spring. I have known and never expect to know. Old age has no terror for me. I expect to be a young fellow in every way longer long after Dempsey was very young, my junior, has retired from the ring. It was back in 1910 that I first found out the benefits to be derived from fasting. This is the first time that I have ever told you because I wanted to have an advantage over my follow boxes, but because they would not understand. If I had told the boys about my fasting they would have said: "Harry is daffy. Taking socks on the chin has made him goofy." To avoid annoying arguments and make him happy, I have been my policy to play dumb as much as possible. I know very well.

One day he discovered a book that told about fasting as a cure for disease. He wanted to see if there was anything wanted to see if there was anything in it, so he hunted it and asked me if I would be willing to take a chance. Those days it was nothing new for me to go hungry, so I said: "Sure, I'll try anything once." I fasted a week that time and felt no effects the danger of fasting on you. Then I went on. I hope that none of my readers will try it unless they fully understand how to go about breaking the fast. I was ill, if not fatal results might follow. San Antonio, Tex.

AVENUE Phone, MAd. 0069 FLOWERS GETS BIG CHANCE IN GARDEN BOUT The Winner Of Flowers-De- laney Fight Is Expected To Meet Harry Greb In Title Contest ESTRIDGE IN SEMI-FINAL Harlem Middleweight To Cross With Charley Nash- ert In Preliminary Of Six Rounds New York, Jan. 18.—Tiger Flowers, whose trail is spotted with the fallen figures of aspiring and enthusiastic boxers, is to receive the test of his career at Madison Square Garden tonight. He is to meet Jack Delaney white, of Bridgeport, Conn., one of the wickestest punchers and one of the business of professional pugilism. It was this same Delaney who amazed the fistic world by knocking out Paul Berlenbach in the same ring in which he will meet Tiger Flowers. Match is High Light This Flowers-Delaney match looks to be the high light of the indoor boxing season. It will prove for one reason that he was destined to pick up and carry on the banner dropped by Joe Cans, Joe Volett and Sam Langer. He is undoubtedly the greatest fighter in the country today. Up to date he has been knocking out many down. There is no doubt that Flowers must be given national recognition. He has shown enough stuff to convince even the most hard-hearted sketcher, but he has chased him to the awkward position. He is neither a middleweight or a light heavyweight. It might be possible for him to make it to the heights of his height, but it is doubled very much. Customers Rush for Tickets Some indication of the hold that Tiger Flower has on the historically glamorous day when some hundreds of fans descended upon Joe Boynton, in charge of the Garden box offices, and came to buy seats for the O'Brien-Bernstein show and he was thoroughly amazed when they demanded tickets for the Tiger Flower-Delaney fight, this fight is almost sure to be a complete sell-out. Estridge Also in Ring Four six-round matches will precede the main event. Larry Estridge, middleweight, who recently won the WBC title, will punch, will engage Charley Robert, white, of Newark, in the semifinal of six rounds. Covington Loses As Joc Williams Wins Atlantic City, N.

Joe Williams, of Philadelphia, had an edge on Johnny Dixon, white. Williams floored Dixon twice in the seventh round and won easily, but the decision announced as "had an edge" proved to be false. Siki Loses Fight To Better Half Memphis, Tenn., Jan. 16.—Batting Sik, just out of jail where he had been placed in jail for the crime of being "bearing" left for Cincinnati last week to appear in a bout that is governed by the Queensbury rules. He malignously lost the decision to his wife, a Memphis woman, in the opinion of two patrolmen who separated the combatants after a lively bout of biting, gougling and hair pulling. The charges against the fighter were dismissed when his wife, who had been in custody, was arrested and prosecuted. The conqueror of Georges Carpentier announced that he intended to place the burden on Ben Bluestein, Memphis man. Sik stated that his contract, with Bob Levy, of New York, expired on January 1, and that he would sign on a year's durability with Bluestein. Wilmington May Be Home Of Potomacs Washington, D. C., Jan. 18—According to a statement recently made by Ben Teyler, Manager of the Washington Potomac last year, Washington will not have a team in the Eastern last season.

WEST ANSWERS CHARGES OF SCHOOL ASSOCIATION SAY PRINCIPALS VISITED HOTEL OF MR. SMITH Supt. West Answering Association's Charges Says He Hadn't Heard About It Public School Association Urges Resignation Of Schools Head That Supt. West failed to give proper treatment and consideration to Supervisor Frank M. Russell, and that he delayed the Vocational Training program among colored schools, are among the outstanding accusations in the recent bill of charges upon which the Public School Association, Mrs. Marie Baursenschmidt, secretary, is asking his dismissal from the school system. A second group of charges have been submitted, and these together with the original have been answered by Supt. West and are in the hands of Chairman Fields. In one of these, principals were charged with frequenting the school as R. Smith, summarily of these touching colored schools together with the reply of Supt. West, follows; Delay Vocational Schools It is charged that there has been unnecessary delay in opening the colored vocational school. Dr. West's Reply "This is fully explained by the lack of school space heretofore used for housing such a school and to allow students to use this project because the Building Inspector must prepare our building for us; but our school can also be opened very soon in connection with the new colored high school." Building Inspector Russell It is alleged that after unnecessary delay in securing a supervisor of colored schools, that the superintendent failed to accustom the students to work or give him proper support. "This section is largely a narrative involving incidents and comments on the 'colored politicians' that call for no reply from the man presented is whether the man, Colored Supervisor, Francis M. Russell, who was finally secured and appointed in 1922 and who was treated by me and properly supported in his work. I assert that he was treated as well as possible, that he was not the sighting of him, that he was fully supported by the Board of Superintendents, and that he was given and actually exercised very broad power. "His recommendation did not come through any other Supervisors, but directly from him. He was the head of Superintendents, and he was in supervisory authority over all the colored schools with the single high school, the high school, which school was kept, with full School Board approval, under the first assistant superintendent, the second high school, Mr. Russell did receive from me and the assistant superintendents all the encouragement and co-operation he one could reasonably expect. Substitute Teachers "As to the use of substitute teachers in the colored high school, a detailed report was given. The school board meeting and each case was explained and justified. School Transfer Delayed." "Compulsory. Because the school board was not turned over to colored children sooner." "The School Board was fully informed as to conditions at No. 15. The policy it was the prerogative of the Board to decide when this school should be made a colored school." "School No. 15." "Compulsor is made because School No. 15 has not been given to colored children." Again the school board has been aware of the conditions at School No. 15, but it was the prerogative of the School Board to say whether or when this school shall be made "Complaint is made because I would not order the serving of special bottle water to colored children. Children Falls Road, without bringing the matter to the attention of the school board and obtaining School Board approval of this unusual suggestion, I complaint reports my attitude correctly, and I did doubt our duty of furnishing special bottled water to these children during the five hours of school on Monday, every day they would be drinking spring and well water of the neighborhood in their homes and back yards. Colore Teachers Debbie DeBroussard, the present teachers' examinations the white teachers received their marks, and some of them were given class assignments, nearly before the colored candidates. "Answer: This is quite true... because we marked all the white teachers, and fixed the successful candidates on the white graded lists before we marked any of the black teachers... for the simple reason that we needed some of the white teachers at once, whereas we had an equal number of black teachers with a long, waiting list of qualified candidates already on our list." "Question on alleged mismanagement of the bus use for col- ored cripples and improper placing of the chauffeur on the payroll of School 101. The item falls outside of my jurisdiction. I have asked the Director of Business Management for a reply, and the answer is no. I lawing: "The bus is owned by Harry Anderson, therefore he has complete control over the equipment, whose name formerly appeared on the payroll of School No. 106, no longer appears on the payroll of School No. 106, no longer appears on the truck driver and drives a truck at the Warehouse, and in the 1925 Budget he has been paid for the truck. 7.23a, namely, "Employees-Salaries." This party never drove a bus used for conveying school children and it was incorrect to appear on any school payroll." Book and Material Shortage "Complaint because of shortage of manual training material in colored books Nos. 106 and 108, and because using parts of boxes and barrels from stores. "Answer: The same answer and complaint concerning shortage of books; but I should like to add commendation of these two principals and teachers in our department, getting some working stock from the near-by stores. Moreover, report from the manual arts department indicates that schools schools named was kept going. Substitute Assignments "Question as to why colored substitutes are assigned, from the office of the Colored Training School instead of from the Administration," Answer: By having colored substitutes assigned from the Colored Training School and white substitutes from the Administration, the offices are working simultaneously each morning and all substitute calls can thus be filled most quickly. Moreover, because the substitutes are graduates of the Cooled Training School, they are well known to the principal and clerk there, and they are very satisfactorily. The principal of the Colored Training School finds the assignment of substitutes no burden on that office and no appreciable interaction to Training School business. Expression of hope that the School Board will inform the new Colored Supervisor about the substitutes assigned in the Colored High School. "Answer: The School Board knows all about these substitutes, and there is no reason why the new Colored Supervisors be fully informed on the matter. "Page 3, top 10. Remark that vacancies in schools, both high and elementary, were not reported to Supervisor Russell. "Answer: Vacancies in elements colored by the Board all reported to Mr. Russell, and he had most to say in the selection of successors, many assignments being left absolutely in his hands. High school vau- dages in the Colored High School, Mr. Russell, because, by action of the Board, he had nothing to do with the Colored High School, that school being continued under the jurisdiction of a distant superintendent in charges of all the elementary schools. Principals Accused "Criticism against principals of some of the colored schools for being frequenters of Tom Place on Drudk Hill avenue." "Answer: This is a topic upon which I can make no comment because I know of no principals who are such "frequenters." "Page 3. topic 12. Request that all associations handling money in the colored schools to report in such reports to the School Board." "Answer: In so far as there are any associations not already so reporting, it will be a good place to require such reports of them." Miss Waters Transferred "Complaint over the transfer of Miss Annie Walters from the school No. 109 to the principalship of School No. 117, and of the manner in which this transfer was made, the plaintiff that the assignment of School No. 108 to the man principal was an act of sex discrimination. "Answer: This transfer was carefully considered in the case of Colored Supervisor Russell, and he fully concurred in the proposed move. There was no sex discrimination in the case, it being simply the unanimous decision that this man principal was a more efficient principal than Miss Waters. The 'unsatisfactory procedure in accomplishing this matter' was No. 109 to School No. 117 was due, in large measure at least, to Miss Waters' own unskillful management of the matter. In sponding move of a large number of pupils from School-No. 110 to School No. 109 was accomplished, and same man principal with the greatest smoothness."

NEAL URGES HARLEM CLEANUP Owners Allowing Property To Become Delapidated, New York Realtor Says NEGRO OWNERSHIP LARGE Have Acquired 75% Of Houses They Occupy; But Neglect. Depreciating Value. Harlem Negroes must make improvements, writes John E. Nail, well known New York realtor, in the Fraternal Review. Commenting on the growing neglect of property owned by the Amen he says: "With the growth of that section of Harlem occupied by colored people praises have been sung from all quarters, but, in my judgment, time has come when would be constructive criticism if the community is to take on permanent character that will be representative of what our section in New York ought to be. We have acquired 75 per cent of the real property occupied by us, and it seems very peculiar that so little is being done on the part of the property owners to create and maintain standards for physical health, so that you make a survey of any block—there are a few exceptions. In Harlem and you will find the most unsightly condition—from a physical standpoint—existing halls are dirty, lettered, and filled with garbage, streets and sidewalks unclean, and main halls written all over with the most flagrant words and the tenants occupying such properties when spoken to assume a resentful attitude towards such "There should be block associations organized in every block in Harlem, whether the residents of the city or a campaign conducted to try to arouse the interest of the persons in these blocks to keep them in better physical condition: which means better outlook on life. Effects Insurance "This criticism will perhaps be scoffed at by many, but to those who see it of this condition that exists will ultimately have on the community's life, makes it necessary for some of us to step in to attempt to correct it. It is already having an effect on our fire insurance policies, making it harder to re-place risks for the tenants who occupy this territory. Police Service Bad "POLICE service is not" adequate. The neighborhood is not like it was five years ago from a police protection standpoint, should get together in an attempt to persuade the officials of the responsibility of improving this condition in Harlem. The residents of Harlem are paying newspapers and these papers are sold for five cents each in the Boroughs of Manhattan, Queens and Bronx. The residents of this community should be instructed to purse their bills, and who will lagrate to sell the Sunday newspaper with the exception of the New York American, for five cents. A slight change for the better is noticed in employment conditions in Baltimore, according to the Director of the Bureau of Employment. Temporary employment was given to about 1100 men during the street car tie-up caused by the snow storm. In the factories plans are being made to take on more employment, the director, states that they are placing from 50 to 100 colored men each day thru that agency. Business firms state that the reaction from the states sending is normal and that sales are once more reaching normal for the necessities of life. New Opportunities Among the new projects reported for the week upon which colored buildings will be put up, get employment are the following: New sewer construction in Baltimore to cost $38,990. The Lutheran Church to build a church to cost $20,000. At high school building is to be built in Cumberland, which will cost $90,000. At Centerville an electric line is to be constructed to Church Hill. Migration at Standsdale. In standsdale centers there have been no changes of conditions for the last two weeks. Few new men are being taken on in the factories and laboratories and do well on to what they have at present. In the business field a new bond according to its literature, by Oscar C. Broken, 1619 Druld Hill avenue is the only development of the week AGITATOR FINED LONG SHOREMEN LABOR CONFLICT Dove Of Peace Now Hoovers Over,Craft As Men Reach Agreement Here RIOT REPORT ERROR No Serious Disturbance Found At Scene Of Trouble When Officers Arrive Following a near riot Saturday when more than 500 men gazetteed a bomb in Bea- con street, where white and colo- red longshoremen disagreed over division of jobs, two whites and three colored men were arrested and 600 of the colored men fined $10 and costs Monday. The man fined was Solomon Johnson, 627 W. Lee street, whom officials of the Longshoremen's Trust group out of distribution of jobs to colored and white members. Mixed Organization The Grain Trimmers Union No. 15 is a division of longshoremen who group out of distribution of 75 colored members. According to statements made by officials and members the work is distributed daily by officials, and white under normal conditions, there is work for all, there are times are picked for such as is available. The custom has been to pick twice the number of whites as colored in each assignment, and the memberships held by the union. Johnson sought to have a friend picked and an argument ensued. Officials say Johnson, who is a West Indian, is an agitator, and that there was no cause for the Johnson's Story According to Johnson, there was no near riot nor was there any show of force used. He stukted that he had the power of the BRISTOL union of the union to give a man work because his wife was ill. He had left the place and was on his way to take his assignment when he met him along with Anthony Lake, 2208 Ethingt street, and George Woods, 310 N. Spring street. The arrest was caused, he said, by the police, the president who told the officers, he threatened to shoot up the place. At the Southwestern "Police Station" he was fined $10 and costs for disorderly conduct and an arrest. He threatened to have Working Agreement An official of the Grain Trimmers' Union told a reporter that the white and colored members of the union were arrested, and that work is distributed fairly. The men receive $1 per hour for day work and $1.50 an hour for night work and five or six racial groups are represented in the organization. MICHIGAN OFFERS GOOD FARM LANDS Division Of Negro Welfare Say Large Tracts Available To Negro Farmers According to advice issued from the Division of Negro Welfare and Statistics, Department of Labor and Industry of Michigan, that state agencies have good quality for the agriculturally inclined who plan to enter within its borders in the next two or three years. A warning is sounded, however, to the too trustful purchaser; that the buying of Michigan lands should be attended with great caution, as there are millions of acres of waste land in the State, until the Division of Negro Welfare and Statistics was established by the State, the sale of these worthless lands to gullible, colored people had gone practically unchecked, to the State there are colonies of Negroes settled on land too sterile to even provide a living for them. A number of these cases have been solved by Mr. C. Campbell, director of the work, and in the most flagent instances, the purchasers have been refunded at least a portion of their money, or permitted to choose bettle and at the original purchase price. Mr. Campbell points out, however, the fallacy of blindly purchase the leader only, with the thought that the State authorities will eventually right any wrongs. The work of Mr. Campbell with prolonged investigations and much detail work that makes it impractical except in the most outstanding instances bordering on seasite. Every person considering a purchase of Michigan lands is warned of the danger of buying only certified lands. For further information, write C. A. Campbell, Division of Negro Welfare and Statistics, Department of Industry, Lansing, Michigan. 108 Pay Snow Fines 108 persons paid nes of $2. each in the North Western Police Station in Chicago.

They say Music hath charms to soothe this痛; this may or may not be true; but we are willing to bet that music in the Armory Friday night to soothe any kind of breast. One Guy said Ralph Matthews, that the Band played so joland that he could have heard the music and listened, but, of course, he wouldn't have been able to hear Madame Talbert. But he didn't understand her anyway, so what was the difference? There were three hundred in the chorus, and one Bird thought they were the best but him. An-ther Gink sang so hard that he hasn't been able to speak above a whisper since. He said it was a good thing that his voice didn't bad before the concert because it hasn't been a shame to disapoint all those people. The Governor and the 'Mayor found it impossible to be present. This is the fault of the committee of arrangements before Election, then even the President would have been there. One Gazabo asked his swife why the Director was shaking that stick at the people on the platform. She told him he wasn't. He said it he wasn't shaking it in musical or the world were they hollowing about. Friday night was a busy time for the society, one of the many musical the men dress like headwaters; and the women dress as though there was a shortage of dress material. One Gazabo asked his wife why that he had to have ear holes cut in it, his wife put on so many airt that everybody came near her caught One good thing about formal affairs is it gives married men an opportunity to wear a clean shirt occasionally. One Hen Peek had had on a dress and a man to find his way to the Laundry. Of course, We don't mean to say that all married men are not used to clean clothes, some of them have learned to wash right well. The sanitor of the New Albert said that he wished they gave formal parties all the time because the men wore such long tails on their hats, so they had to sweep the next morning. KOGER HEADS LOCAL N. A. A. C. P. IN 1925 Following a weeks intensive reorganization under direction of Rev Robt. W. Bagnall, Director of Branches, the local Branch of C. C. Williams, and Koger as its president for the coming year at a business meeting held at the Y. M. C. A. Monday night. Some time ago, Mrs. Lillian Lottis, of Williams began a movement to revive the work of the local branch which had been somewhat inactive, for the last five years. The work of these women was to drive what enabled the organization to meet its full quota of the national budget for the first time in five years. But in addition it also brought about a complete revival of the work of the OFFICERS ELECTED Heading a group of 100 young women Miss Williams held a number of successful entertainments and meetings that included the Director of Branches.

Harris, aged 88, 959 Gough Street, Norfolk, Virginia, made three trips, this week on board the Old Bay Line Steamer, State of Maine, during between Baltimore and Baltimore. Mr. Harris, started work for the Old Bay Line Company, known as the Ballimore Steam Packet Company, in the mid-19th century, and made of friends among the patrons of the steamship company who regularly use his boats. He recallingly wrote to his brother, George and Kingdon Could, millionaires, the Spanish Admiral, Severilla, and his son, after he had been taken prisoner after the Spanish-American In these years, Mr. Harris, has risen slowly from mess attendant, to head water and acting steward. He has also taken on the role whose usefulness is in its ability to "stick to it." He is proud also of the fact that as for back as he can remember, he has been a regular visitor to Norfolk. The State of Maryland, makes three trips a week between Norfolk and Baltimore. The 188 mile journey requires thirteen hours, and the 189 mile journey takes 7 A.

Is Intelligent Question Of General Gaith- Cowardly attacks on his home, 5323 Denmere Avenue, in Pimlico, were the first attack on Reddick to the police this week. "This is the third or fourth time we have had trouble with white peo- lons," she said. She told the AEFO reporter this week. "They usually wait until everybody has gone out of my house to throw bricks" into the front windows or doors, "and then I give one occasion they broke into the cellar and stole about a half a ton of coal. My front windows were broken again last week, as they were broken in the attack. Nobody was home during the attack." "There is another colored family in this block, which has experienced no difficulty to date." He reported the matter to the police, Mr. Reddick replied in the affirmative. "Instead of seeking to find the culprits," he declared, "they asked me to look for them, tell them I didn't know, because the always wait until no one is at home before attacking the house."

The grave is unmarked except for a wooden slab, as shown in a photo recently published by the AFRO-AMERICAN War Department officials state that it is usually the custom for members of the family to furnish the head stone or other permanent markers, and when this is not done, the Department itself after two or more years will provide such a grave marker. There are others, too, like Colonel Young, who, after a brilliant career, have found a resting place in graves unmarked. The Rev. Walter H. Brooks, one time pastor of one of the largest and wealthiest New York churches, lies under a bare mound in Mt. Auburn Cemetery, this city. He literally built his life into his church, but one who would find his resting place today must inquire of the cemetery keeper. He sleeps without even the cover of green sod to mark the spot.

On The Air Mr. Harry Burleigh, the singer and composer, directed the choir of St. Georges Episcopal Church, which broadcast a song service over Station WJZ in New York recently. A few days later the Tuskegee Quartet gave a program of folk songs at the same studio, that is to be repeated every Sunday night for the rest of the month. Radio Station KDKA at Pittsburg featured race artists last week, as did also the Willard Storage Battery Station WTAM at Cleveland. At the latter place an entire program was given by musicians who elicited requests for encores from every section of the country, from New England as well as Dixie. The next development is the colored radio broadcasting station. Fans may look for it in the next two or three years. To Poro College, Madame Walker Company, the National Benefit or the North Carolina Mutual will probably go the honor of establishing the first colored broadcasting station in the world. Changing the Leopard's Spots The AFRO-AMERICAN has long maintained that if the makers of cosmetics can invent a lotion to change a black skin into a white one the race problem would be solved overnight. There is no race problem in America, but there is a color problem. America is a melting pot in which thousands and millions of people with varying customs, divergent moral and mental characteristics and strange tongues, are absorbed within two generations. Had the Negro a white skin and straight hair, he too would have gone into the melting pot at a more rapid rate than two millions of matattoes now testify. The press this week carries this bit of information: Dr. M. E. B. Slosson, director of Science Service, has forecast the day when chemist may be able to control the color and complexity of human beings. He supports his statements by citing chemical achievements as causative of skin color. He adds a addition of a little magnesium chloride to the water in which the fish live. It is already apparent," he said, "that the forms of all creatures from the earth contain compounds in extremely minute amounts. This may put it in the mouth of the chemist to control the size and shape of plants of animals, to fix the makers of cosmetics their branches and leaves, or legs and eyes, to modify color of cosmetics. Imagine Atlanta, Georgia and Houston, Texas waking up one morning and finding the black belt changed into a WHITE BELT. Imagine also the feeling of ten million other folk who would wake up one morning and suddenly find themselves in the possession of clean schools in the place of shanties, and the open sesame to sanitary neighborhoods, comfortable railway accommodations, the right to vote, the right to a jury trial and to serve on juries, the privilege to act as a free human being without ever hesitating to think of the racial element. Imagine all these things happening, and you realize the possibilities of science in the next century.

Here is a regulation Police Commissioner Gaither, whose chief claim to fame lies in his illegal manipulations which keep colored men off the police force, is much perturbed over the pistol toting situation in Baltimore. "There orta be a law," complains the General, "... giving each State the right to regulate the manufacture, sale and possession of firearms. Baltimore has a law which requires the registration of every person purchasing firearms, but the law is not enforced, purchasers being allowed to give fictitious names and get off with it. Even if it were enforced, purchasers could obtain firearms in other States personally or have them sent in through the mails. Mail order houses do a large business at present in Southern States where it is unlawful to sell pistols. New York has a law which makes it a crime to possess firearms even in the home. Here is a regulation which is much more severe than the Maryland law, but it does not stop the gunman and the criminal from carrying firearms. An anti-gun toting law will not help Baltimore any more than the dry law halls bootleggers. What is needed can be contributed by the Police Commissioner himself—it is a respect for the sanctity of the law. It is illegal to discriminate against Negroes on account of their color and to bar them from becoming officers of the law. General Gaither does this when he closes the police examinations to Negroes, and there is no difference between breaking this constitutional law of the land and breaking any one of the other thousand laws which the General enforces. Respect for the law will help the crime situation in Baltimore among people not inclined to think deeply. One good way to get their respect for law is to put them in a position to come into contact with the law in some other way than as a lawbreaker.

His nail studded, heavy German shoes made noise as he popped up the sturts and the whole editorial force stopped work to greet him as Year by year as migration progresses, Italian farmers with small farms under intense cultivation, are dotting the southern highways. The southern white planters would rather have kept their crops known to themselves, but their continued abuses is still driving many away. "Where have you been?" yelled the Reporter. "Been to Germany with Bishop Brookes," salute the old fellow generally, "and I am Jes' gettin' back." "With Bishop Brooks!" exclaimed the Reporter. "Why didnt you send me word? I thought you were" Yet all this does not help a situation in which we are loosening our farm balance, the most fundamental foothold of economic independences. Perhaps the National Finance Corporation, the Negro Business will look seriously into this matter and perhaps the Republican administration will abate some of the lilies that is making the South undesired.

Just last week here in Baltimore a riot resulted because of the open manner in which a group of Negro workers being forced out of their just proportion of work set down by the rules of the organization itself. In some other industries, the glass industry for instance, there seems to have been a concerted agreement to the number of Negroes employed. A similar condition confronts colored workers in many of the large industrial centers and a firm grip on the soil is needed to offset this.

PROFESSOR FUDGE PROFESSOR FUDGE AMOS HOKUM SAYS Hebrew Enterprise We are about to get an inch of the Mountains on Pennsylvania avenue. It appears some Sons make the Sons of Harm adopt the pleasant pastime of Rip Winkle and Nick Vesey. T If I remember correctly, Rip and his partner, Nick, used the Dugout down the Ten Pins between drinks. This particular diversion along with other things seemed to have such a quieting effect upon Rip's nerves that one day he slept his regular 16 hours a day, fell asleep and forgot to wake up for 20 years. He can see bowling is a great game. As I was saying, some flebres have made arrangements for Samba and Rastus to get their proper exercise. No pains or money have been spared. On the behalf of the Douglass Theatre on Pennsylvania avenue, has been built an elegant building which contains 27 bowling alleys. This place will shortly open in spite as to the probable success of its new venture. Bowling Is Fine Exercise There are two sides to every question, and among those who know anything at all about the new building, cone and cone. Some maintain bowling is a clean, healthful sport, and that the place must succeed because folks must have exercise. The other reason is that the place are either poor or cheap and because of these reasons will refuse to accept an introduction to the new game. There is a certain amount of responsibility, and usually, I have been thinking about the thing from another angle altogether. I will admit freely that bowling is an addition to the architecture beautiful of the street. I will admit the place is equipped wonderfully, but I will not admit colored people need any additional ex- To my opinion, when a woman finishes going 10 rounds with pots of ice, she comes after doing the "Charleston" with a truck on the dock all day, any mention of more exercise is like a suggestion of more exercise, not something that has been with most of us ever since our advent into this country. The fact good judgment is everything, but good judgment. My hope is that the new Bowling Alley will do business and prosper, but some criticism is against it. It located in the door to it, is the Douglas, Theatre, and next door to the theatre is what formerly Perry's Inn, a dump that succumbed almost before it was born. "Y" Slackers And Soldiers Soldiers returning from "Oversens" after the war told many lies, as was expected. Some spoke a good deal, but many did not.

I merely think this is not suggesting anything to Judge Rose, for after reading of a judge in New Jersey who sent a man to jail for just remarking about him, I am not sure. The probability just at present is we have just as much chance to get that $25,000 dollars for Provident Hospital as J. Steward Davis has of getting the $50 line back from Judge Rose. Auroras Affair Big Success The Auroras, the new ladies' club, entertained very well last Friday. The affair was up to the standard set by the club. The ladies acco- mplished the surprise, and made it to make an opportunity to wear some of their good clothes. Nobody else would give them a chance to do so, so they held their own exhib- tion, recording their own class. Most all of those invited had only words of commendation. I only heard three bogus cracks about the thing. One gentleman said there was an absence of old faces, which had been the reason the man made a derogatory remark about some 'slop' on the table and the last man cracked something about everybody in the East being present. The ladies deserve a great deal of credit, though I am satisfied five pieces of music, unless they were all bass drummer, never filled the New Albert Auditorium. 15 Years Ago Items From The AfroAmerican of Howard University Alumni were waging vigorous campaign for funds to support the N.C.

I wonder if the school authorities are aware of these things or if the Negro voters of Maryland are aware that Comparisons are odious I spent part of my Christmas holiday by taking a dip into the Middle West. I am presuming that my readers might care to accompany me on this little journey. I have been requested by the management of the Y. M. C. A. to address the monster meeting at Indianapolis. One finds here one of the most efficient and energetic Y. M. A. A. organizations on the whole staff. Mr. P. E. De Frantz has put the Indianapolis "Y." on the map. Intelligent, energetic, direct and straight forward, he makes the organization significantly in the life of the community. All now unite in the wisdom of the provision. The intrush of a large number of colored people has changed the hius of local opinion, and general needs of the color people in any community where the resort in numbers becomes a practical necessity in face of prevailing public sentiment. Has Junior N. A. A. C. P. On Monday night I spoke for the Junior branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Col After a rather wide experience and observation covering the entire field, I am prepared to assert that the Indianapolis police and intellectual life of the young manhood of the city that stands probably unmatched, and certainly unsurpassed by any other associates of the city, and year out, these monthly monster meetings attract from four to five hundred of the upstanding and forward looking young men of the city whose interest seems to be in the police department does not abate. For ten years I have delivered an annual address before this body. On every occasion have noticed that the police department the venerable editor of the Indianapolis Freeman. Although he is a man of more than four score years yet he erects certain devotion and earnest effort the year of our death. He was the father and founder of the "Y" which he still cherishes above his chief joy. It rejoices one's soul to witness such devotion and earnest effort in the community which this pioneer in good works exhibits, even down to old age. I found the people in Indianapolis optimistic over the general state of the situation. During the last election, the state was under the stress of anxiety by reason of political complications of the hooded order. They stood manfully by what they considered the best interests of the legislature regardless of political considerations. Although the race seemed defeated by the local triumph of the Klan, the state was by the dictates of the racial welfare. Whatever may happen no group will ever lose in the general regard of the state. They unwillingly by their duty to themselves as they are vouchsafed the light to see that duty. Urban League Active I left Indianapolis on Sunday night, December the 28, for the city of Detroit, the home of Henry Ford and the nation's largest urban weatheranged below zero. Old Antoine street was glassed over with a solid sheet of ice. But the people were stirring and alert as it was necessary in question. I met my old friend John Dacney, in charge of the local branch of the Urban League. I found him wide-awake, and keenly alert in the work of this great agency. I arrived Negro to the industrial opportunities of this great industrial city. Industry was somewhat slack. The holidays usually mark the time for many large businesses lay off many thousand men, during this season of stock taking. The migrant tide has ceased all but completely, but only. I was assured, for the holiday season. In order to keep the children busy with a brief stay to revist old friends as well as to escape the severe rigors of the Michigan mid-winter. But birds, they will return in the Spring. I called upon Mr. Dunbar, the efficient secretary of the "Y." He took me to a courthouse for hearing completion. This is the largest and best appointed building in the whole Y. M. C. A. chain. The total cost will amount to a half million dollars. I think of anything by way of accommodation and facilities that is not found in this building. "Y" Controversy Ends After being shown through this magnificent structure I became reincident. It was recalled forbly to mind that some ten years ago, on the day of the bitter issue over the idea of establishing a colored Y. M. C. A. The old citizens were bitterly opposed to the movement. The argument was that the introduction of this separate institution would suggest race distinction and execlate race prejudice such as Detroit had not been accustomed to, indeed, to the same colored men had been made members of the general association with partial, if not complete privilege of membership. Bathing Privilege Denied One of the over zealous old timers was unguarded enough to affirm that the only privilege withheld from the old man was the body. When it was rejoined that this was precisely the feature that the colored members needed most, he subsided without the expedient of a come back. But this has changed. The authorities of the "Y" movement worked steadily and persistently on paying little or no heed to the conscientious objectors. The work took rapid shape: The building was planned, the money provided for and the work begun. "While others argued, he worked. Undaunted By Klan Holidays Halt All now unite in the wisdom of the provision. The intrush of a large number of colored people has been made possible by Separate ministration to the social and general needs of the colored people in any community where these numbers become a threat, or necessarily face of provoking public sentiment. Has Junior N. A. A. C. P. On Monday night I spoke for the Junior branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People at the Second Baptist Church. Then I must quickly leave the automobile city for Columbus, Ohio. here again I found the Urban League thriving splendidly under the office handling and colored people in friendly co-operative endeavor for the betterment of the element that stands most deeply in need of help, education, and training. Baptist Church, which is in the midst of construction of an edifice at a cost of one hundred and seventy thousand dollars. It will when completed be probably the next place I had little time to look into general conditions in Columbus, beyond confirming impression gained by previous visits. Negro Expanding There is a growing sense of Negro enterprise and self expansion. Here, the old settlers are all but wholly disregarded. The newcomers from the South are not only bringing in new people, they are introducing a spirit of thrift, energy and enterprise which is putting an entirely new face on the racial life of the South. Manufacturing Town One who must fill six lecture engagements in one week cannot carry out the job of teaching on Zanesville to lecture on Wednesday night. This was a great place for the colored man in the olden day. When the Negro darred his lines when he was taught southern Ohio, Z. C. was looked upon as a glorious place. But now it has become a manufacturing town of lines when he was taught made for the brother in colors. Shut off from the outer world by locking up the windows and sounded people lead the even tenor of their way. The older ones are satisfied twin the older memories of the days that are passed for Columbus and the more alluring outer world. And yet the good people are true to the higher aspirations. The Methodist and Baptist churches are the centers of social and general life of the community. The people hear the word most and respond most enthusiastically. Education In Huntington, West Virginia is my next stop. I cannot now stop to relate how the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad minutes at Parkerburg in order that I might make connection in time to meet my Huntington engagement on Thursday evening. This is one general impression of the conditions in Huntington by relating that here is a Negro population of three thousand, with a Negro population of one hundred and seventy thousand dollars. This, however, is but in keeping with the educational policy of West Virginia, in the State 15 standard high schools for one hundred thousand Negro population. In the adjoining State of Maryland, there is two hundred and fifty thousand Negroes. In addition, West Virginia operates a college for Negroes at Institute, a building for completion at a cost of four hundred thousand dollars. Maryland Far Behind I wonder if the school authorities of Maryland are aware of these things or if the Negro voters of Maryland are aware that comparisons are edious. So my last stop. I have reserved but a few times to acquaint you with two personages in this interesting State capital. I will first speak a word about Mr. Jenkins, a wholesale grocerman. Starting forty years ago with a peddlers outfit on his back, he now ranks as one of the leading wholesale dealers in the State. Needless to say, he is with the white trade. He lives in a thirty-five thousand dollar home furnished to the queen's taste. I feel safe in saying that it has no equal among us save, of course, that he is with the white trade. The thing that interested me most of all about the James undertaking is that his son, a former student of Howard University, has assumed control and is conducting the intelligence and energy that built it up. I lectured on Friday night for Mordeckal Johnson, the New Prophet, sent of God for the spiritual leadership of the race. Here is a young man who was filled with zeal, consecration and spiritual statesmanship. Behold, the man of God, sent to point out the new way in such a time as this. Three Fridays 13th.

Marriage and A New Discussion Of An O There is not a girl of today who does not dream of love, romance, marriage and MOTHERHOOD. Yet there is no question approached by the average young woman with as many as 300,000. The following letters give frank-heart-to-heart statements on this, the most vital factor in human existence. Here are the married lives of two generations or three; not happy, married lives but lives poorer, prouder, more independent, more understanding and plifying their mothers out of the fullness of their own experience. girls, very young girls, escape by marriages of homes where many youths have created abject poverty, and where a worm-out, alluring mother lives in a home of her big family. Now these young girls find that they have not escaped at all. They see that they themselves are not well-off and all-health, from the same cause as their mothers. They see that their children, too, will be neglected. Because the law prevents birth control, there are measures easily explained by any family physician to dispel this evil, and thus not only bring health and happiness to the children a better chance in life.

"By Sanction of Law" The tragedy of a Southern aristocratic family which opposes marriage of their daughter to a col- ored man only to find out that it has colored blood. Coninued from Last Week WHAT YOU HAVE MISSED Lida Lauriston, daughter of an old and wealthy Carolina white woman, and wealthy Caroline white woman in Boston, where she sings in love with a Howard race (both) Truman memorial. She meets the affair is brought to the attention of the *F*ward faculty, which after a meeting with one, *her* efforts to force Lida to give up her lover fail. She returns home and meets the consent of *c*-father and bring home his bride. Bennett press the injustices heaped first hard. His witnesses - lynching of two Negroes falsely accused of Lida's father and brother look her in her room to kis her from leaving home. Lida's father, a neighbor suitor for Lida's hand (Maiyoy) threatens to Lynch Bennett, when he comes across her story. "Must have heard us—Durn him.—it's lucky he got away.—But he can't go far—we'll get him took—At that threat, he shoots a hook at the direction of the bath room. "Never, if I can help it," she vowed in answer to the threat. She listened further to the mutterings of disappointment and finally succumbed to the drowsy feeling which followed her night of excitement and exertion. Bennet, immediately that the door was closed and gone, stretched out the floor to prevent any sudden intrusion, should those who sought to harm him discover his hiding place. He could not sleep, long He has laid awake into the over his room and pondering of action. In the face of all the dangers he was causing, he wondered whether a right for him to bring much trouble to the one he loved with it, his helping. "Which is the truer love." he argued with himself. "To persist in wooing the girl I love in the face of such hardships as I am bringing on her for the sake of that love, to sacrifice that love, to care mind and body, case of the object my love."-Which is the truer love. "I love the girl with all the devotion within me. I shall love her all of life till the end of the coral reef and continue loving her or to take her and face. Once out of this ungodly country our loves and our lives would run smoothly. Our happier life makes her happier. Thus through the long hours he debated till finally he swept all doubts from his mind as to the true course with the decision. "Oh, and get away today and forget this land. He was far removed from the sounds of the footsteps of the dog, of which Lida was aware, and the tired he fought off the sleep that almost overwhelmed him until daylight appeared. He was the stream of light that came under the door he relaxed and closed his eyes. His next conscious moment was hours later when there was a slight tapping on the door. "Trumann, Wake up. Dear. They've gone to hunt you. Now's the time.—Put these things on over yours, and put them on over your eyes. When you've finished I'll come." CHAPTER XXIX Lida had taken her maid into her confidence and won the girl's support to her plan. It was this. Bennet would dress her in a wide brimmed palmetto but pulled well down over his face, leave the house and be piloted to the secret cave, after his face had been blackened. Lida and the girl had been over to the cave and made it comfortable with a good meal there to welcome Bennet. From there, at night, when the coast was clear, the couple would make their escape. In twenty minutes after leaving the clothing, Lida again knocked at the door. This time a deep brown skinned Bennet greeted her and before her, Lida looked at him in his garb, inspecting him from head to foot. "You look like a native," she confessed. "Lida knows that way you'll have to get out of it as soon as you get to the cave. I want you as you are to me—Just you." Bennat touched her hand gently to his hand. "Hurry," she warned. "I will be coming back. When you leave the yard go straight to the field at the back of the house. Work along by the spine to the end of the line. When you get there a girl will be waiting. Follow her.'" Bennat again kissed her hand. "I don't like to do this. Lila, mine. I not fair—but I suppose it best. "It is best." She sumped her foot imitationly. "You must do as I say this led to the door below and guided to the rear of the house. Lida pointed to the direction he was to take. She watched him leave the yard and walk toward the house when she came upon her new husband. Several minutes and then returned to the house, hurried into a light wrap and was about to leave the house when she came upon her new husband. She mournured under his breath. Lida went up to him. Colonel Laurison looked at her without recognition. "Daddy," Daddy called, gently got no further. Colonel Laurison began to murmur something about sheen in the pasture and passed her by, going to his own house. She was not alone as she went down the steps of the veranda, then turned the corner of the house and started for the rear and down the field, following Bennet's distance. One hand she held close to her breast just over her heart. Bennet reached the end of the lane, passing the place where the horse went work, but giving no hand to her. She was not casually from the middle of the field where they were. At the end of the lane stood Chloe, Lila's mind. Behind off through the woods. For some distance she followed a benten path Bennet noted this but after going about a quarter of a mile the path on the carpet of dead oak leaves a needleless over which she walked. Birds were singing in the shadows As they nasaled deeper and deeper pines owing turpentine plush in box hole cut into the tree the wood became more and more quiet. On they walked till Bephet, he began to walk through the wood, and denly he heard a waterfall and thru the trees he could see the glistening By JOSHUA HENRY JONES spray some one hundred feet at his right. At the base of the falls where the cense opened into a narrow bit of green meadow through which the rivet from the dam leaped over the River, the girl halted. The water was falling over a sheer cliff in three steps from the higher land above, draining a pond some miles away. The cliff seemingly having been formed ages ago by a fault caused a fault in the rocky bed by which the land below dropped. At the base of the falls stood a tall poplar tree whose roots seemed to have dipped into the little stream for sustenance. This poplar tree had three feet of its limbs reached over and touched the cliff just where the water was passing. By a process of erosion with the swaying winds these limbs and had shed their water, the water widened and hollowed out a cave. Moisture had softened the rock and clay till it crumbled and fell into the little pool at the base of the falls. Lida in one of her playful drawings had climbed this tree and discovered the cave. Since then it was her cave and she spent many a day behind the water shed, making the cave wider and deeper as she dreamed of primitive men when Indians inhabited this section. As if by inspiration, when she heard her brother make his threat, she was reminded of this cave and thought it an ideal place for her to hide. The morning she hurried to make preparations to take Bennet there. She and her maid had made two trips to the place and had returned it from her girlhood days, providing outfits and a table to chair. When Bennet reached Chice she pointed to the trees. "See that tree," she said. "You'll have to clum up to when at hole. That was the place we came here soon. She'll tell you all do rest." From the tree there hung a grapevine rope, leafy and heavy with green grape, this enwiring about its stems, which itself is in curtains of Florida moss. After giving her instructions the girl wheeted and was gone. Bennet looked at the tree and after step-by-step inspection of it and leaped as high up the trunk as he could, climbing up the remainder of the distance, with the help of the grapevine rope. As he reached the heavy limb extending the cave he paused to view the slight within. Here was a cave, well lighted from the sun shining through the spray, about as deep and as high as she was, a book shelf with a few volumes on it, while on the opposite side at the wall was a camp table covered with food. Between the two was a horse with a couple of horse blinders. "Well, of all things," he exclaimed. "Who'd have thought such a thing would be so hard as could he wished for—and (thisers) he almost felt it too secure to enter. "Well, well, well," he exclaimed. He was still admiring the horse when he heard a voice from below: "Well, hurry and get in. I'm coming up. Bennet looked down and bended his hand at the foot of the tree gazing at him. He stepped into the cave and awaived her. Practice had made her adept at her stunts, and puttes gave her the freedom to climb. She was soon standing by his side, her cheeks pink and a bewitching roughly smile on her face, and puttes a hand to help her, bringing the care. She stepped to the center and stood, arms alkmibo, turning from sido to side sliding the three walls of the room, thinking of it." she asked admiringly. Bennet looked at her, then about the cave and at her again. "A true fairy bower," he exclaimed. "Who ever think there was such place, where I could think of story books of younger days." Lida smiled joyfully. "And they'll never find you here. No one—not a soul except Chloe knows of this place, and she only knew of it to them." "What a wonderful place for my Fairy sweetheart," Bennet exclaimed, looking at the girl in her trim suit, from her puttees to knickers and open-throated blouses. Lida added with pride. "Everything at hand for comfort. Grapes within reach—water for bathing and drinking and with a camp cooking outfit, a very happy time could be spent here." Bennet's face clouded.

"I mean that by my loving people I've brought trouble to you. I can be sent to see you suffer," Benedict said to her. "Why, I'm not suffering to anyone suffer who loves really and truly? And does not love balance any suffering? It is not to suffer for the man I love, for the poor, for the poorer. It what makes life worth living. Why I've only lived since I've known you."

Head Undaunted By Shadow Of Penitentiary which faces Him. TRIAL JANAURY 19 Secret Of His Influence Rests On His Appeal To The Common People New York, Jan. 15.— Facing the probability of a five year term in Atlanta penitentiary for using the U. S. mails to defraud persons who bought stock in his Black Star Steamship Line, Marcus Garvey's power instead of diminishing is actually growing daily. This is the view of Eric Walbrond, writing for the Independent last The secret of Garvey's power according to Mr. Walton, the people and the insistence on black ideals as opposed to white. He says: "First, Garvey is of unmixed Negro blood, in contrast this is a near significant, but it is indispensable to any consideration of the man. Goaded on by the memory that the first slaves stolen from the slave plantation, he birth, Garvey and the gospel he preaches particularly and not unceasedly to the very black Negro nation, a land with as many color distinctions as there are eggs in a shad's roe, and all through his life, the fact that he was black was unerringly important, as there are eggs in Always Black "Wherever he went, whether to Wolmer's, the college patronized by the upper class, or Central America as student and journalist, he was continuously reminded that he was black and that it was futil for him to rise above the hewer of wood and "In Jamaica, as elsewhere in the United Kingdom, England differentiates between the full bloods and the half bloods. In Garvey's Jamaica, the mulattoes are the power to be the ones. The blacks number them three to one, have actually no voice politically or economically. Black Ideals "With such a background, no wonder Garvey, the 'Moses of the Negroes',—applying the law of compensation,—idealizes black. Coming into the emancipation of his spirit, it was inevitable. No wonder he talks glibly of a black state, a black empire, a black emperor. No wonder he is creating a black religion, a black deity, a black 'Man of Sorrows'. "Who knows, he says, but that Jesus the Christ was not a black man? And, naturally, the hordes of black peasant folk in the city feel that they he is saying the things which they would utter were they articulate. They swarm to hear his fiery rhetoric. They pour their money into his hands, and they thick and thin. They idolize him as if he were a black Demosthenes. "In turn, quite in keeping again with the law of compensation, but undoubtedly overdoing it, he makes such spiritually makes up for the beauty and grandeur that are lacking in their drab, unorderly lives. Aping the English royalty, he manufactures out of black peanuts the duchesses, princes and princesses. Shall not, he quites from the Bible, princes come out of Egypt, and Ethiopia stretch forth her hands unto God? To God he hated him, the veteran aquilator is made Duke of Uganda. "A faithful ambassador just returned from a mission to the black Republic of Liberia, is made Knight Commander of the Nile. Out of the multitude of black kstableboys, cooks, and bottle washers, seulions and jim-swengers, is fashioned the timeless Nile Nile. Out of sombre-faced maidens from the French and Dutch and English colonies along the Spanish Main he creates 'Black Cross Nurses'. A black singer with the sacred becomes the 'African Virgin Mary'. Titles and Gold Braid "All the glamour, all the technique of delusion, is employed to satisfy the needs of the people, which is missing in the lives of those long-repeated peasant folk. Essentially a movement of the black proletariat, Gavroyism owes its inspiration to singing swords and fuming helmets, titles and congeries of gold braid."

EASTMAN PROMISES 2 MILLIONS MORE New York, Jan. 16.—A meeting was held in Town Hall here last week to arouse interest in the joint endowment campaign being carried out at Hampton and Tuskegee institutes. It was announced $2,750,000 of the desired $5,000,000 had already been raised outside of New York and that it was hoped to raise $1,000,000. George Eastman, Rochester camera manufacturer, has promised an additional $2,000,000 gift when the $5,000,000 is raised. He had from President Coolidge, President P. Elias Calles, Mexico, and Dr. Charles W. Eliot, president emeritus, of Harvard University. President Coolidge's message read in part: "General Armstrong (Samuel Chapman Armstrong, who founded Hampton Institute a philosophy of education which crystallizes some of the soundest thought and experience of the pioneer Americanism from the early 19th century." Its philosophy of "learning by doing." It recognizes that out of the capacity to do small things honestly and well, grows the capacity to do well. It teaches that efficiency has moral value—that conscientious effort is a stepping stone, not only to success but to character, "that as a man works, so is he." The author's work in worship and showing by work." The President lauded Booker T. Washington who found Tuskegee University. He is that Armstrong's first great disciple. SAY "TUT" IS JOSEPH OF THE BIBLE Associated Negro Press London, Eng., Jan., 16.—A merry war is raging among Biblical scholars of varying religious persuasions in the Kingdom of King Tut-Kuht-Akhen, the ancient Egyptian monarch, whose exhumation two years ago set the scientific world agog, with the Biblical Joseph, the gentilman of the "coat of arms." The Jewish World recently published the article dealing with the identity of "Tut" and quoted a noted Egyptianologist, who in the New York Forum argued in favor of this theory. If the professor's surmise is correct, says the Jewish World, it follows that when the sarcophagus of Joseph was found to be empty because when the children of Israel went up of Egypt they took with them the bones of Joseph.

Cole-Talbert And Harrison Score. BIG CROWD APPRECIATIVE Spirituals vie with Classics For Favor. Benefit Md. Home Friendless Children The second annual musical festival, under the direction of Liechtenstein A. Jack Thomas was held at the Fifth Regiment Armory last Friday evening. A mixed audience of 3,500 white and colored attended. A massed chorus of 240 mixed voices, and the A. Jack Thomas Band were assisted by Madam Florence Cole-Talbert, coloratura soprano, and Mr. Frank G. Harrison, baritone, of Chicago, Mrs. Goldie Brown, of this city sang solo and obligato part in the spiritual groups programmed. The municipal anthem "Baltimore Our Baltimore" was attacked with litter in the latter numbers so superbly given by the choir. This was due doubtless, to a slight nervousness due to the massive auditorium. The first number was a delightful reading of the inspiring "William Tell Overture" frequently in symphony in four voices. The Director and the splendid performance of the band evoked merited commendation, trio songs from the chorus followed by two Kesler "Sweet and Low" and "Swine River." Each of the three were beautiful to hear, but the harmonies of the other numbers executed shaddings seemed to transcend the other numbers and this is without any prejudice to the others. MRS. TALBERT Madame Cole-Talhern chose for her first number "Thou Lovely Bird" from the balletworks, fortitude and other essential Coloratura requies are possessed by this magnete artist, and the display she these foregoing qualities. The tribute of the auditors was spontaneous and magnificent. The singer responded to an insistent demand for encore with "The Little Shepherd Son." MR. FRANK HARRISON Mr. Harrison's first suite was "None But The Lonely Heart" Tech-aikowsky, "At Night," Rachmaninoff and "Nothing Matters," Zucca. The singer was evidently awed by the immensity of the hall at his first appearance and was obviously nervous. As he warmed up to his work, he, over-ed, his diffident manner gave way to one of confidence, disclosing a value, while not robust, displayed beauty and careful training. Band and chorus united in "What From Vengeance" from Donizetti's "Lucia," this was a request number, and was received raptly with a flattering demand for an encore. Part two opened with a suite in four parts by Safranck arranged for band. Again this capable body of musicians demonstrated their beautiful tonal color and perfect balance. Three folk-lore songs by the chords "Delt's Listen to the Lambs," "Dig My Grave," and "Deep River," the latter two arranged by Burleigh, were interesting and capably sung. "NOBODY KNOWS DE TROUBLE Mr. Harrison returned with another trio of songs. This time his previous nervousness had vanished, and these songs were captivity by his audience. I knew That My Redeemer Lives," was his encore selection. Do Treble Sleeve "arranged by C. M. White, who has chosen to leave it intact, and to content with minimum reflections, was undoubtedly the most exquisite song in the collection. The number had been arranged by the director and the blending of the choir and voices are illustrative of Madam Talbert's ability in the field of arrangement. An aria "Oh Patria Mia" from Aida by Madam Talbert, and "Will Marion Cook's" "Swing Along" by the chorus of "The Beneficiary" was the Maryland Home for Friendship Colored Children. The Reverend Dr. George P. Bragg, delivered the invocation and short plea for support for the home.

Mount Street 1015 Madison Avenue SILBERMAN - Phone, PLaza 7855 CA1vert G383 SPIRITUALISM IS RUNNING WILD HERE IN BALTIMORE SPIRITUALISM RUNNING WILD IN BALTIMORE "Tests," "Readings" And Other Superstitions Sizable Vocation Throughout City venge, And Fortune Telling That thousands of dollars are spent in Baltimore in the gratuitous practice of "readings" "tests" and other forms of fortune telling and hoodoos practice, has been built by a minister recently made by a reporter of the AFROAMERICAN. This practice, which, singularly enough, had its beginning here and in still a part of some regular church service, has been taken up by individuals who collect varying amounts from $5 cents to $5 for readings and larger amounts for specific practices to "protect," aid or satisfy their needs. Practice of "Tests" Just how long the practice of "tests" in certain churches throughout the city has been maintained throughout the city are various churches, many of them in one room structures, which makes this a regular feature of church buildings. The biggest and best known of these churches is Christ Institute, on Enson, near Monument street, over which a monument each month "Divine Healing and Tests" are given. The services at this church are intelligently conducted and consists of onespersonally unknown facts about people in the audience, and healings. The truth of some of these statements is evidences of some of the healings have been such as to give even the most sceptical a good reason why each "test" night the place is crowded with people. Of course, no admission is charged but the usual church collections are taken and people otherwise are allowed to give such amounts as they will, for spe- Movement Spreads This test meeting idea, however, has spread until there are more than 20 small one-room churches giving these "tests" throughout the men and women go for private readings. At a meeting of one of such churches situated in a room on the second floor of a building at the corner of Lauren and Columbo, on this paper let it be known that he needed spiritual advice and help in some personal matters. He was told by a spiritualist at the meeting to come to a home in the 1400 block of McCulloh street. The first meeting resulted in a general "test," given for the most part by the lady to insure that she told her he needed help in his domestic affairs and wanted advice. Some days following this he was again called to the home and the following incident composed her "You have a dead sister that I get," she said, and she tells me that you need not worry about your friend." She then had him place his hand on a Bible and she would persevere until he understood told him that the affair would be straightened out to his satisfaction. Some Hoo Doo Work As an example of the extent to which superstition is practiced the following case will illustrate: Miss Annie Dawdy, 62 Poplin girl, was born to Poplin her wife was in mortal fear of losing her life as the result of a piece of work her husband had done. An investigation showed that she was in anguish, believed that her husband had taken a pair of silk hose belonging to her and taken them to a spiritualist who had buried them with the idea that as they rotted she would wither and die. She wanted the matter made public so that her husband would be afraid to carry out the rotted fact that the husband and wife had been literally torn asunder by the spiritualists and that to try to save them she had decided to learn spiritualism herself. Many Homes Wrecked Although running out details of this kind are difficult, it is a safe estimate to state that half the wrecked homes that come down, or at least helped by the spiritualists that prey on the ignorant and sometimes those not regarded ignorant. Testimony has been openly given in this book, and this year showing the influence of this form of superstition in domestic relations. Hundreds of women visit these spiritualists to keep tab on their husbands and whatever is told them is connected with this practice is also the selling of charms designed to ward off bad luck and bring wishes to pass. In the secret profession, for the law for fortune telling for money.

Boyle Would Meet Marse Calloway Without Referee For 2 Minutes LATTER SUING FORMER Mr. Calloway Claims Balance Of $160 Due On Sale Of House Dr. E. M. Boyle, Caroline street physician, stopped preparations to move to Newark, N. J., long enough to challenge Marse Calloway, Pennsylvania avenue real estate dealer, to a fight. Hosiflies broke out after Mr. Calloway sold the home of the physician and $160, part of the commission, was withheld. Suit was immediately filed in Circuit Court, and was to come up last Monday, but was postponed. Dr. Boyle's statement was to the effect that the reactor had promised to sell the Boyle home immediately for $6,500 or within 30 days for $7,000. The contract was not completed until 51 days had elapsed and when the roctor was handed $6,500 he refused to pay the realtor's commission of $160. "The probabilities are that on a technically Calloway may win his suit and get this $160, which I do not begrudge him, if he could get it squarely and above board. Personally, if I could get Calloway for two minutes without the presence of a referee I would perform a necessary operation and pay him twice $160. When the challenge was brought to the attention of Mr. Calloway, he said. "The court will determine whether Dr. Boyle is to pay the $160 compensation or not. If the debt is just the court will order him to pay, otherwise not. I am too busy earning a living to fight anybody."
