W. C. A. Questions Raised In an interview with Garnet C. Wilkinson, assistant superintendent of the public school system in the Polly-Sauna Revue" at a midnight show at the Lincoln Theater last Friday, she raised questions of having teachers, students and professional entertainers appear on the stage at the same time in a revue. She also called his attention to the danger of having children lose their respect for teachers as a group if they do not part in certain forms of dancing. Not Within His Scope Mr. Wilkinson took the matter up with the officers of divisions 10 to 12, and he asked her to the effect that he did not regard the questions raising as coming within the scope of his official duties. Notwithstanding that Dean Slowes had intended the conference to be of a private nature with a view to the public, he was in the system. Mr. Wilkinson sent copies of his letter to the officers of the Pollyanna Club and the school officials with whom he had taken up the Makes Hot Reply This brought forth from Dean Slowe a hot reply, in which she stated that "it was from the standpoint of the professional attitude and dignity of teachers, the school and the community that I talked with you." She expressed her disagreement with the view of the school officers that they should not call such matters "seems to me," she said, "that it is not only within the province, but it is the duty of the school organization to advise teachers that certain things are in keeping with professional dignity and certain things are not." Mr. Wilkinson then made public the subject of the controversy. The teacher in order to make her position clear Dean Slowe issued a statement covering the entire incident. She also made public the entire correspondence between her and Mr. Wilkinson.

FOR $250 A MONTH HARRIS SUES N. Y. FOR $250 A MONTH New York City, (P.N.S.)—The Appellate Division decided last week that W. Harris was legally elected a member of the board of Aldermen District on November 8, 1921, and that John W. Smith, white, was assigned to the Harper place on July 9, 1923, until the end of the term on December 31, 1923. "This is a vindication of Mr. Brekkeau. 'He had served as Alderman before, but received a black eye politically when the mayor of New York had he had served part of his term. Now he may run for office again. We will at once seek to recover his pay at $220 a month." Harris, who is a republican and who owns and edits a website against 5,255 votes for Smith, a Democrat, on the face of the returns in the 1921 general election, and took his seat, but in January, 1922, at the first meeting of the state's election hearings, recassing the ballots and declaring that Smith had been elected. The board then adopted resolutions unseating Harris and seating Smith. Harris for Harris then obtained a writ of certiorari, on which the Appellate Division awarded him a writ of certiorari. Justice V. Dowling, who wrote the opinion, all other judges concurring in all 359 ballots which the Board of Aldermen's committee had decided. Dowling found that Harris should be credited with 305 votes more than the Board of Aldermen's canvass, and that Smith should have 47 more votes than the Board of Aldermen's canvass. This made the final tally 5,255 for Harris, but 5,223 for Smith, a board. The Court held that there was no basis for Smith's charge that a conspirator other than cross marks for the purpose of identifying them. It swept aside the conspirator, such ballots as he conspirated to be credited. Justice Dowling is a Democrat, as are two others of the five judges who decided the case.

NO TAINTED OYSTERS FROM THIS STATE To the Editor:— I want you to permit me a space in this room to speak to our colored systemer. I want to say to your systemer, I want to say it has been reputed that they are tainted with fever. I will say the best oysters available in our rivers and tributaries, that is not only reputed, but is a proven fact. the embargo, now in the west has been caused by the unhealthy or unsuitable oxygen grown in the Choptank or Preston river, as they have brought the high price, and given batter satisfaction to their other class of bivalve for the last year. It is to our mutual advantage as armed men to safeguard our own interests, and make things better as much as possibly can for our prostery, and should boost the oyster, make them it.

This famous discovery is bringing "rejuvenated youth" and "strength" to thousands where everything else had failed.

Before I started taking the treatment, I felt I was an old, 'wornout' man; but now I am enjoying a remarkable 'gland restoration' and am convinced my 'rejuvenation' is complete and permanent. May God be blessing rest on the discoverer of such a boon to humanity." This wonderful formula, prepared by one of the largest laboratories in the world and generally known as Mando, is easily used at home and seems to work like magic in its rapidity on people of all ages and sexes.

AERIALIST TELLS OF THRILLS ENCOUNTERED IN MID-AIR AERIALIST TELLS ABOUT THRILLS Fell 42 Feet When The Centre Pole Of Big Top Swayed At Circus TAUGHT WIFE TIGHT ROPE She Never Had Accident, But Fell Down Steps And Broke Her Arm BY KENNARD WILLIAMS PETER B. "AI" Wells, appearing at the Regent University who is one of the greatest aerialists in America, informs us there are many of Negroes trouping with circuses, who, for obvious reasons, choose to be trained Bedouins, or by any other name Kennard Williams than what they racially are. "AI" as he is familiarly known in the show world, is a native of West Virginia, who taught the manners of walking the tight rope by members of a circus troupe, who interested themselves in the young colored lad of elephants. Cherokee Indian blood, so evident in him, had anything to do with their attention may never be known, but his instructors imparted all they know and as young as he could, he soon received a regular job. Only Big Spill His first experiences were with "Connie Cal's" and "Sutton and Jackson's" 10 and 20 cent wagon circuses, that troupped through the Ohio Valley and Pennsylvania. No longer an amateur, he daily and nightly performed on the trapeze and horizontal bars like a veteran. It was during this time that he met one of the hazardous rules of calling. Center Pole Slipped Said he: "When performing in a tent there is always a slight motion of the center pole supporting the arm of the center pole, this is plained differently by showmen, but there is such a difference in opinion that I have never been able to ascertain whether I was performing I was seated in a chair suspended 42 feet in the air. Suddenly there was a movement of the center pole, my balance, and I was unscathed and plunged downward. I managed to grasp the chair, spread out, and alighting received nothing more than glancing blow from the chair. The forgoing was recited in an even tone of voice, shorn of all brag, and more than the writer, who was more agitated than the man who had actually undergone the poril. After joining the party, which time he "clowned" for the act, Mr. Wells decided to break his wife in as other partners were not all that one was required to be for funability in this perilous profession. Instructs Wife With the new combination in view, Mr. Wells became a bellman for the St. Cyprus' Gymnasium when off duty. For a year and a half the prospective member was put thru the prospect of a job, the end of that time she was pronounced it and the couple began working together. On January 10, 1935, Mr. Wells engaged in Madison Square Garden. New York, thereby making history, for it was the first colored man in the city. W. S. Cleveland booked the turt. Old Timers Mrs. Wells was also the first colored woman to do a "flying break-dress" in the professional classification that sounds as difficult as the performance thereof must have been. Mr. Wells says she was the only woman to reach 75 feet. The mark of the really accomplished trouper was evident in the aerialist's generous remarks about other colored men in the prosecution. Mrs. Wells and Brothers (Charley and Albert) two of the greatest acrobats in America, and paid fine tribute to the late Katherine Hunt and Jolly Saunders. When questioned about the Reese Brothers, the old-timers, he had nothing but professional consideration. Acrobat's Daily Dozen The acrobat's "daily dozen" runs like something like this. Mr. Wells explained: Cart-wheel, hand-spring, round-off, nip-up, back somersault, back flip-floop, front somersault, back flip-floop, back flip-floop, the BARANDA. Furthermore, in closing the "knight of the air" authorized us to say that he is willing to teach any boy or girl who has this type and ability to learn, FREE. Mrs. Lula Wells, the wife and professional partner of the Mr. Wells, never experienced an accident through all of the years of their trouping. Mrs. Lula Wells fell down a short narrow flight of stairs, and broke her arm. Boston—Johnson and Lillard arrived in Boston on last Sunday noon and met at the office at the Codman Square Theatre. The singing duo has fifteen weeks here and in the vicinity, with a circle of acquaintances and are boosters for the AFRO-AMERICAN. It was inadvertently stated that the act their Glen's Falls engagement. We correct the error with apologies as next to closing. Their contract with the Keith Office carries this stipulation. They send greetings to the AFRO and friends in and out of the profession. "Dandies" In Detroit Detroit. Mich., Jan. 11.—Blake and Sisley turned, from away from the city, to the Army. Jimmy Hudg erson as successor to Johnny Hudg sons, served Sydney, Australia.—The Fisku Jubilee for extraordinary audiences. They played New Plymouth! this week. The organization is handling the organization. AROUND HARLEM WITH JACKSON By (Billboard) Jackson New York—Insofar as the showfolk are concerned, this week's grist is not very promising material. Ponaghan, for example, will be held over two weeks hence by Henry Stillman and the Art Theatre. Hope that Paul draws well enough to warrant obtaining another house for a show. Charles Giplin would also be on Broadway in a new production in a feature part in an otherwise all white drama that will in all probability be called the "Witch Doctor," save for the fact that the offer came a bit too late. In fact just one day after he, with Rose McClendon and Lawrence Chenault, had left the city to tour the colored theatres in "White Mule" under the direction of Milton B. Starr, of the T. O. B. A. T. Chariers' eternal credit, the offer was ignored out of respect for his contracts even though he sacrificed a great opportunity. In view of this fact, it is especially pleasing to find that the Chicago papers say that "Charlie has really brought them something." On or about February 1st, we will see colored musical comedy again represented on the Big street. This time it will be presented Ala Jimmy Cooper, who has made the Black and White separate unit idea the big money making wonder of Burlesque. Arthur Lyons, vaudeville agent and midnight club operator, is sponsoring a combination of the talent from the Club Albam and the Club Moritz in a production that he has named or will name from Harlem to Paris. The colored unit will do two and perhaps four weeks in the Lafayette Theatre preliminary to the consolidated offering down town. Johnnie Hudgins, Abbie Mitchell, Eddie Rector and Shel ton Brooks among others. The word that Florence Mills and her "Disix to Broadway" show has been her "Disix to the Hub." From the "wise cracking crowd" around Times Square and the "Gossip Gang" in Harlem, Florence Mills has made a matter of deportment that would not help the show one bit. Had there been a show that made great gossip perhaps the show would have remained in New York. But that made some of the girls who appeared at the Broadhurst either were not called to the call, they are they in New York. "Just Fair," is the word that comes enough to describe a colate Dandles, and "Runnin' Wild" companies.

As a sojourn to these people, the Page desires to say that Manager John has superseded for delivery the pay due each and every one of them, including the admissibility of his misfortune overlook his show and obliged the return of the company to New York, as one of the few managers who into ever dealt so squarely with Negro artisans for his company after January 11.

THE ROOSEVELT AMERICAN CALLED COLERIDGE-TAYLOR AMERICAN CALLED COLERIDGE-TAYLOR London—A writer in the "African World" speaks of N. G. J. Ballanta-Taylor as another Coleridge-Taylor, a missionary and eminent group of American Negroes to go to Africa to ascertain whether the Afro-American folk-songs are the offspring of African folk-songs. Mr. Ballanta-Taylor's career has been brilliant. He has composed an overture for call orchestra, entitled "Among the Blacks," and has won high praise from Dr. Damrosch, Director of the Musical Art School in New York City, to grant him a scholarship, and has won high praise from English musical critics who have examined it. The work is purely African in spirit and intention the composers devised to express the feelings of those who are engaged in gathering palm-nuts. It is hoped Mr. Ballanta-Taylor, will gather inspiration and will create that African music can yield something better and higher than "Jazz."

ROLAND HAYES TURNS 'EM AWAY New York (Afo Bureau)—Roland Hayes gave his third and last recital of the season, a most unique, success, on the stage. His concert drew one of the largest and most enthusiastic audiences, conquered by the lovers, ever witnessed in Carnegie Hall. The capacity of the hall was sold out long in advance of this concert. The hall was filled to the brim, the hall as many as could be seated and placed in orderly groups. While hundreds were turned from the hall by the crowd, that there was no more staging room. Mr. Hayes' steady, consistent and rapid development as a true artist was excellent, and his assent to the opening of Handel's Stradivari and Gluck. These he sang with ease and fullness of tone, "Passing By," by Martin Preston, a seventh-century composer, with a soft, prolonged high notes, which is one of Mr. Hayes' greatest assets. Hayes In Canada Toronto, Cn. (A. N. P.)—The press of this city has been a unit in praise of the work of Roland Hayes, who appeared in reital at Massey Hall Hall of Fame. Critics agree that he possesses one of the most perfect lyric tenor voices among artists and that his art is great as his voice. They have given him the credit for the work performed by Mr. Hayes accompanist, William Lawrence. One critic writes: "In his own sphere as a vocalist, Mr. Hayes is as a lyric tenor voice of almost flawless beauty, the tone limpid and clear and filled with vitality. One cannot remember ever having heard another tenor voice with a direct sincerity, interpreting perfectly the mood of each song."

Newest Film Like Rhinelander Case Wednesday and Thursday January 26th and 27th, there will be shown at the Regent, Theatre 62 of the truly great colored pictures of the season "The House Behind the Cedar." It is of particular interest to know that the story is by the celebrated Cleveland, Ohio author, Charles W. Murray, in a decided step forward in the production of the real picture, by Screen Micaheux from Mr. Chestnut's novel of that title. The collaboration of Negro author and producer is in decided step forward in the production of the real picture, and is pronounced a work of art by all who have viewed the handiwork of the two artists. In the workshop, Shingles Howard and illustrator supporting cast appear alluring who view the film picture entertainment of the first rank. Demands for the picture make it impossible to play it more than once. The film also behoves all patrons to take advantage of the two day's showing. The story has many angles similar to the Rhineland case now pending in the sensory's sensation of the last few months.

The Rainbow Goes Under Hammer The Rainbow Theatre was offered for sale at public auction on Wednesday of this week. The house was converted into a moving picture and vaudeville house from a saloon by the owner named Sacha. During the enlarging of the Regent Theatre the house did a thriving business, but the proximity of the Carey, which has long been the favored house in that section, and the opening of the remodeled Regent spelled disaster to the Rainbow and after several ineffectual attempts to continue, it finally expired. The closing of the Argonne Dugout, the Rainbow makes four "dark" houses that formerly played to color patronage.

The story of "The Empty Cradle," which is a brilliant screen adaptation of Leota Morgan's novel, "Chaunting the Present," describes the present-day special and domestic conditions. Director Burton King, according to the critics, developed his own domestic problems of two families—the family that lived on the top of the hill, and the family which lived in its shadow. The subject the matter is handled in an effective and telling way. Director King has not forgotten to interpresse his dramas with lightly humorous, and no matter how tense and serious the story may become, we know that within a few flickers of film we will all be lively and the "Women Men Marry," is the featured attraction on Tuesday 27th and Wednesday 28th, the "Heart Bus- Delaney's New One Tom Delaney is soon to have another number released by the Columbia Phonagraph Company.

A Film Hanging Near Reality A Film Hanging Near Reality One of the many tense moments in "The Warrens Of Virginia" scheduled for the Roosevelt Theatre on Monday and Tuesday January 25th, and 27th, is where Wilfred Lytell, who plays the part of Lieutenant Burton, is about to be hung as a spy. Lytell is seated on a horse, his hands tied behind him. The noose is around his neck and the rope thrown over the branch of a tree, pulled taut and then tied. The idea is to whip the horse, which runs away, and Mr. Lytell is no more. The horse Mr. Lytell is riding is supposed to be his own and so well trained that he would not move whether beaten or not, without his master's command. Much time and care had been used by Mr. Clifton to find the proper horse for the scene. Colonel H. O. Van Horn of Camp Travis, San Antonio, finally selected a horse that he swore would not bolt. The scene came off. The rope was supposed to be so tied that perchance the horse did move, Mr.-Lytell would not be literally hung. The tense moment arrived. A Broadway cowboy unused to the ways of life, who had always felt that thing was fine until he hit the horse over the knifes. Now anyone who knows anything about horses knows that they are hard to rear and tear, when touched in that particular spot. Of course no one knew the horse was so disludged. He gave one leap, the rope (tied also by a Broadway sailor) did not break and the hanging was on. There was no make believe about it.

"The Greeks went into the game with the slogan "Keep the score doubled," and they were very much peeved at the end of the first session when the end of the third points behind. Another thing that irritated the favorites was their failure to break the high school's record by bringing the highest number of points in its history.

The Athletics were throughout, not one dispute, and the sportsmanship of the New Yorkers was highly commended.

He is the only player that can be two places at same time and can play the second half that it would be useless to try keep tab on the "Ghost."

SUNDAY BASKETBALL A HIT IN CAPITOL Several Hundred Fans Witnessed Game At Murray's Casino. REFEREE BEATS GREEKS D. C. Arbiter Unable To See Rough Work; Keller Knocked Out Sunday sport is a hit here, several hundred fans witnessing the contest. Alcoos hit the Greeks with everything except the fire buckets and bricks, but "Mouse" Johnson, former Alcoo player, refused to see the fragrant violations. Samuel Lacey, who alternated with Johnson, was Herbert Keller, center, for the visiting team, was completely keyed in the second half and had to be so soon recovered from the severe uppercut in the stomach by Neal. The referee did not see the foul blow. Hacking tackling, charging, appalling, and no other feature that are not allowed in football, was in evidence by the Washington team, which brought hisses of disapproval from the fans. They started their famous passing game and were leading at half time, 12 to 9. The Athens jumped in the lead from the tan off and kept it up until the end of the third period when the Alcoos violated every rule in basketball and the visitors had to put up a stiff fight to keep from getting injured. The game was forgotten in injury in themselves. "Jazz Byrd" Baskerville didn't have a chance to show any of his wares and devoted his fighting Alces. "Clippy" Taylor, the "Ghost," attempted to play his usual game, but after several tries found it impossible of the face of such methicillin Scrappy" Brown met the same fate. "Bill" Harris played an unusually good floor game in guard and blocking work the spirit of the Greeks up. The low pitch ceiling of the small gym handicapped Manager Harris' boys in making long shots.

The latest communication from the Lincoln athletic head is to the effect that the annual classic has not been called off, which might mean several things: that she is giving Howard a chance to be reinstated, or leave the Association herself. Lincoln is in a peculiar position. She would like to observe the C. I. A. rule not to play Howard while the latter remains out of the Association. On the other hand, Lincoln is under contract for the year 1925 to give playing Day game. Under the law she cannot withdraw without facing suit for damages.

UNNECESSARY STOPPING OF CAGE GAMES A basketball fan wants to know what can be done to speed up basketball and diminish some of the whistle blowing. We have got to admit that a lot of the whistle blowing is a nuisance and the refree using a little discretion could add a great deal to the interest of the game. In the game last Thursday night in Miami, a good deal of the whistle blowing could have been added. There was a total of 28 technical and personal foul calls. This slowed up the game to the extent that a number of the players as well as spectators lost interest. A foul was called and the game stopped for every little thing. Glaring rules violated, such as hacking, charging or unnecessary roughness should be called but a lot of minor affairs that are unintentional be left to the judgment of the referee.

In the boys's department of the room, he was used for reading, and was back to childhood days of his life, and was might say envy of him. He was not a good man, but a youngster who was trying to win that game, but the boys were trying to win that game, but the boys were trying to win that game. At Mr. Smith's interest in his work is that all this is going on in a room just as the youngster has. He has over 300 boys connected with his department, and the number of boys he has is about 350 boys were packed in like gardens are space in the small room. The boys see the officers of the "Y" would soon see the increasing the size of the space for boys. Every little expense. The whole basement could be turned over to the school staff.

The Boys' Department, presided over by Mr. Thomas Smith, at the Drulid Hill Branch of the Y. M. C. A., is one of the bustest places in Baltimore these winter evenings. The boys had some different affair with Mr. Smith among the 35 boys present, who had him heftedly engaged in a ring throwing contest with several of the younger ladies. We think a youngster called "little Bit" and one of the Smallwood twins was the winner of the contest. In the boys' department there is a number of other games that took us back to childhood days with just a touch of regret and sadness and we might say envy of this man that never grown up and can so easily get away from the world of BOYS' DEPARTMENT ONLY 22 FEET SOUARE And to think that all this is going on in a room just 22 feet square. A room that is hardly larger than some living rooms. That is the Boys' department of the Y. M. C. A. Mr. Smith has over 300 boys connected with his department, and if he wants the number could easily be doubled, said Mr. Smith. Those 35 boys were packed in like sardines and had utilized every inch of space in the small room. The boys secretary expressed the hope that the officers of the "Y" would soon see the necessity and be able to increase the size of the space for boys which could be accommodated by the expense. For instance, the whole basement could be turned over to the boys and the men's pool room could be moved on the second floor in one of the assembly rooms. Very seldom all of these rooms are used at the same time. The boys would be able to have the grown friends should not mind suffering a little inconvenience for the sake of providing more and larger quarters for these boys, who are the future citizens of Baltimore. Quite often, Mr. Smith said, the small room becomes so crowded some of the boys have to be sent home, a problem that might lure them in.

The swimming pool, for some reason, has been closed to the boys for the winter, so this indoor sport has been eliminated. The coming of spring and summer Mr. Smith will inhabit the great outdoors for the stuffy little room known as the Boys Department. FLOWERS FADES BEFORE DELANEY The overnight sensational rise of Tiger Flowers. Atlanta middleweight, was nipped in the bud last Friday night by Jack Delaney, white, of Bridgeport, Conn. in Madison Square Garden in the second round of a 12-round go. Flowers had almost reached a full bloom blossom and a little discretion on the par with the height of Tiger Flowers, the Tiger weight garden, including one Harry Greb. This human dynamo, was, after all, made of flesh and blood and the terrific strain of fighting two and three times a week for the last year took its toll when he met the Bridgeport boxer. Because he could fight and the fans fought for the opportunity to sweep the gato return when the Georgia Tornado was going in action, talk尔尔 to the goose ton often without a let up. In meeting a polished boxer like Delaney, Flowers should have had a rest up of several weeks and trained for several more, instead of the numerous fights he figured in, in all sections of the country. By this defeat Flowers loses the right to meet Harry Greb in a championship bout, and it will take some time before he can be able to establish a stable position. The fighter ought to be warned to the fighter's manager; because the fighter was dubbed the "tiger" and made a whitewild start, it was all "make believe", and the real genuine article from the jungles takes a rest after a killing.

This correspondence includes reply of Dean George Johnson of the Faculty of the University Athletic Association and Dean of the College Department of Lincoln University, to a letter sent to him under date of January 11 by the authorities of Howard University by Dean Johnson's letter follows: Dr. Emmett J. Scott, "Howard University, "In answer to your letter of January 11 as the contract for the football game between Lincoln and Howard next Thanksgiving to stand, I would reply that to the best of my knowledge it will stand, since it is not our policy to repudiate contracts once made and considered "At the same time, since Howard has withdrawn from the C. I. A. A. and since the contract contains a clause that the game is to be play under the eligible age, Howard could like to inquire whether Howard repudiates this code, and if so, what code the game is to be played under? It would be very helpful to me personally in answering the many inquiries concerning the matter, if you would give me a direct, categorical reply to this. GEORGE JOHNSON," Dean of the College." Doctor Scott, business manager of the Board of Athletic Control of Howard University, in response to Dean Johnson's letter sent the following communication: "Dean George Johnson, Lincoln University, "It is pleasing to all of us here that Howard's and Lincoln's athletic relations are to continue. We particularly appreciate the fine spirit you have shown in this whole matter." "Please permit me to say that it is the sense of our Board of Athletic Control that Howard's withdrawal from the C. I. A. A. does not alter our commitment to the observance of the highest ethical principles of intercollegiate competition, or of both the law and spirit of her contractual agreements. Section 5 of our contract will be kept. Our withdrawal from the C. I. A. A. was because of the unfairness of certain phases of the Association's Constitution and By Laws, primarily its non-observance of the compromise effected at the conference, May 10, 1924." "We have not as yet published our schedule awaiting a final word from you. We are anxious to do so."

I was confident I could bring down Flowers when I saw him in action, but he had a lot more than I expected when he came at me. I had to be mighty careful all the way until I had my opening.

New York—Jack Delaney, white knuckled to Tiger Flowerins in three minutes and 43 seconds to the Garden Friday. From a little town in Georgia, after several years of hard work, Flowerins suddenly emerged into prominence as the "Black The "Tiger" Thunderbott. after taking the measure of the champion of the class, Georgia middleweight, after the contest, was finally given his chance to show his ability before a Garden gathering. In three rounds he beat down Johnny Wilson, the ex-champion of the 180-pound division, in sensational form, who has long been clamoring for a chance at the middleweight crown, and who sprang one of the flastic sensations of last year when he knocked out the K. O. King, the 180-pound champion, was called upon to face the Georgian, who was being rated with Gans, Walcott, Langford and other greats of the gadded mit. And this same Delaney, the same champion, sounds recently, had failed in the semi-final to bring down Pal Reed. So dissatisfied were the gallery fans with the showing of the Bridgeport boxer that night, he broke in and Delaney is a bum. Delaney is a hum." The general impression was that Flowers would sweep' Jack off his feet in a few rounds, and the Tiger would bite him. The Tiger batting. Greb. It is understood, wagered heavily on Flowers to win. Early in the week the demand had exhausted the supply of reserved flowers on hand. And so the stage was set. "Tigor" First in Ring Flowers was first in the ring and quietly seated himself. He was supremely self-possessed and at ease as he waited the appearance of the man he rent with the clapping of hands—the slender, well-knit figure of Delaney was seen marching down the aisle at an even gait. As the man took the centre of the ring for the reference of the muscular man, the Tiger was somewhat taller, the Tiger looked to be the more dangerous fighting machine. A yellow tiger ornamented the back of the Georgian's robe, while on the right side of his silted fringe a huge red and golden flowers had been stitched. Battle Is On Flowers, who had been pawing and swaying about in his corner, fairly unable to hold himself in check, had fallen into his corner like a gust of wind. He was halt way across the ring before Delaney had thrown himself, almost methodically, into a position of defense. He was able to reach the head and body of Delaney. Flowers was living up to his cognomen of the Black Thunderbolt. Now Delaney broke from his corner and chucked his head in his ceaseless rain of blows. A few punches found the body and head, but Delaney was always parrying or blocking back or pulling his head away in such an expert manner he was little affected. Now he stabbed with a few raper-like lefts that were long and straight like a blazing attack of the Georgian. It seemed that the tiger-like quality of the Tiger's ability to get started, Jack did not seem to be inconvenienced by the southpaw style of boxing, but the speed of his persistence running continually weaved his head from side to side seemed to make Flowers an impossible mark for the accurate, powerfully driven straight right to win that is Delaney's mala reliance.

Oversteps Bounds In Howard Decision BY OSCAR C. BROWN There is a great deal being said about Howard University's withdrawn Athletic Association. He formerly co-founded Athletic Association. Every week since Howard's withdrawal the Negro Press has carried articles by persons who seek to conceive and/or manage judges of the C. L. A. A., in taking the position that Howard has not the right or is incompetent to decide Howard's own course and policies. This aftermath of Howard's decision has brought clamours and howls from many who either do not intentionally evade the issues involved. C. L. A. A. Borcotts Howard To set down to the basis of things as they now stand, let us assume that we want to be certain within its right and jurisdiction, ferelling certain games in which Howard played a man or woman the association considered to be a member of the association had the right to forfeit these games. But, what else? In the mentioned case, Howard decided to contend out of the association and occupy the same position that any other school occupies that is not a member of the association?

Howarddites and the many others who have served under the conditions, the only honorable thing for Howard to do was to withdraw, as was its right to do. Howarddites and others have tried to break up the association or try to shape the association rules to fit Howard's individual, and entirely different position. Upon Howard's request, the A. A. has taken the very unreasonable and unjustifiable position of trying to humiliate, punish and boycott. Since unwarranted acts have been done to Howard, members of the C. I. A. A. have cancelled all proposed games with Howard in all phases of athletics. Howard, the president of the association is resented by Howarddites, as well as by its many followers and the neutral public will, in the end, repudiate such narrow views. By what authority does the association attempt to resort to punitive measures against Howard? How Howard has undesirable and unworthy to play these association teams? Howard had the right to withdraw from the "Inter-college" association and upon withdrawing Howard was entitled to the same position, with fewer restrictions. That is occupied by Harvard or Tuskegee or Notre Dame or Wilberforce. Howard was simply not a member of the association; C. I. A. A. teams have always played teams that were not members of the association. Such games were not recognized by the association; and they have been left free to play Howard under the same conditions. Princeton plays Chicago; Georgia plays Tampa; and Florida plays Island Stanford. They are not in the same associations or conferences; yet they are some of the best games played, the best interest of OUR players, and the best interest of the BOYCOTT, had the C. I. A. A. taken this position. Howard's decision is made; it is not in the best interest of the "BOYCOTT," of the C. I. A. A. will be revoked by public opinion.

I believe it is possible for a man to be a Christian and what is known as a prizefighter, to receive with me for a time, but I succeeded in convincing it that professional boxing did not call on me to do anything that would me rebound, become reconciled to my fighting for money with my fists. She never refers to my work in the ring, even now that success and money are coming to I wish mother could look at the thing differently, but so long as one is true to one's self that is as far as one can remember, smoking, gambling, smoking and other dissipations; I never strike a man in anger, no matter how badly I am punished, although I always try my best to win by every few attempts. My mother apprehended that, and that I am the same God-fearing son I was before I was selzed with my boxing ambitions, and that I put on the gloves for the first time. I came up to Philadelphia to work in the shipyards. I soon became homesick and on my way to the train, having some time to spare. I happened to be in school. Philadelphia Jack O'Brien was teaching some youngsters in the art of boxing. I don't know what came over, but I found myself just itching to learn the gloves with some of these novelties. So I spoke to Mr. O'Brien and he consented to let me box a few rounds with some of the heavier pulps. He was fast and just alive. He had a lot of stuff to do, something in the way of natural ability. Anyway, Mr. O'Brien said some nice things to me about my showing. He was what started me off, although I didn't realize it at the time. My wife had something to do with my first professional contest, quite accidentally, of course. There was a match in our neighborhood. She saw him doing road work and when she heard he was getting in shape for a match she just couldn't bring a little about what a fine boxer. "I don't mind," Mr. O'Brien say so himself?

In one of my earliest fights I broke my left arm in a bour with Billy Hooper and that is how I came to change into my present style of boxing with my right hand for the game. The church manager, got interested in me quite early and gave me a job in my gymnasium at Atlanta as a porter and sparring partner for his boxers at $15 per week. I had been anything like gifts means quite regularly and took part in something like sixteen bouts. One of them was with Panama Joe Gans, who was too experienced for me and stopped me in five rounds. Later I missed him in a twelve-round contest. In 1922 I had another busy, year and was forced to give away weight to my buttee on a technicality in two rounds to Jamaica Kid and was knocked out by Kid Norfolk and Lee Anderson; I boxed Norfolk an eight-round draw the same year. With the exception of the latter I beat the men who beat to Last August came my big chance, a meeting with Harry Greb, the world's middleweight champion, and I was greatly pleased to fall, I was generally credited with having the best of the contest. He said I was the best man he ever fought, and I've got to say the same for him, I am positive he could do better if he wished boxing to me a decision. I am a natural mid-diefight, but am also after light heavyweight honors. In fact, have put myself second in the boxing division of weight. Young Stribling is the one exception. He will not box a Negro. My manager would not accept the match if he would. I know gets the impression that because I happen to play the violin and saxophone and read music that I had of early advantages, I was born in Camilla, Ga. Father was porter on a train to London on vacation. About all he was able to give us was a righteous upbringing. I learned to read music from a boy who was taking lessons. I paid him 50 cents to have him teach me what he had learned after Billy…that's my wife—plays piano, and I get a lot of fun harmonizing with her. I owe a lot of my success to Billy. She believes in me and understands the music she wrote. The first money I ever made, $15, is still in the bank. We own ten little residences in Atlanta and are now building thirty-two more. Over $80 per cent of my ring boxes. So even if I were forced to retire tomorrow, my few years in the boxing game have enabled me to put aside enough to keep me comfortable. Soon as mother comes around I will be perfectly content, even if I never become a champion.

The climax was reached Sunday, when several valuable overcasses, two of which were valued at $150 were taken from two churches. TAKES INHIBITANTS Union Baptist Church, of which the Rev. David E. Over, is pastor, the thieves entered the basement and a music stand were listening to a sermon in the main auditorium above and took them from under it and a piano where they had been left. A mystery that surrounds the taking of these thieves is necessary to enclose the church to get to the basement. The violin belonged to Miss Esther Z. Haskerville, and the clarinet to Fred GETS PASTOR'S COAT At the regular night services of the Maryland Baptist Church, an overcrowd belonging to the pastor, the Rev. Earl Harris, led the congregation in holding Mrs. Virginia Cook, 1623 Drudg Hill Avenue, were taken. The articles were also taken while members were engaged and others were urged to believe in the perpetrator of the theft must have been in the church during the services as it was impossible to get into the study where the garments were except through the main door. OTHER THEFTS REPORTED Other thefts reported to the police department, include coats and garments. The police also have a Church and articles from Trinity A. M. E. Church, of which the Rev. W. H. Thomas is pastor. From the apostolic church, the book a $50 overcoat from the head usher, the first Sunday he wore it. Two weeks before a female pastor, the church's garments were selected from a batch of others locked in a down-stairs room. The continued taking of clothing items has led officers to slave that a band of sneak thieves is at work and they have gone about the capture of the culprits in the room. So far, none of the stolen property has been discovered. Recent operations here of sneak thieves have led other cities for disposal make the officers fear that this method is being used in the case of the church robbers. Lockers are recommended to halt the thieves. PROHIBITION HERE IS STILL FAILURE SAY CITIZENS Reporter Flacks Opinion on Ancestment on Its Fifth Anniversary Vary "Just what do you thing of prohibition by you more," a reporter asked a number of people this week. Answers from nine men and women be questioned are herewith given. It will be questioned that last week was the fifth anniversary of the passage of the law which made the sale of whiskey or a beverage for sale. For most of law is unpunctual as the following answers will show. Mrs. Julia Wilson, Chircopodist, 1919 Madison Ave.; "I think it is a failure, because the stuff they are drinking now is more than the drinks that are prohibited." Marse B. Calloway, Realtor, 1511 Penna Ave.; "As for enforcement it is a failure, and will never be a success, it gets the moral support of the people." Mr. Thomas H. Buckingham, Barber, 1803 Druid Hill Ave. "It is a failure, because it makes drinking fashionable. Women who would not drink before, now do it to be popular." Rev. M. S. Banfield, pastor Seventh Day Adventist Church; "Prohibition is not a failure by any means. The only trouble is they do not enforce the law. Mr. Malcom Rice, Manager Royal Palace Hotel; "Prohibition is the rulination of the young people. Boys and girls think it grand to drink now, who would not think of it before the law was passed. Rev. J. T. Colbert, pastor, Grace Presbyterian Church; "Prohibition as far as he is concerned. I am for it heart and soul. Gobert E.

Call VErnon 6016 BLES S Business a A Weekly Review Of Conducted by RACE WORTH IS TWO BILLION SAYS WORK Compiler Of Negro Year Book Tells Of Race Advancement In Two Years MORTALITY DECLINES National Death Rate Of Group Decreased 31.5 per cent In ...Last Ten Years That the Negroes of this country have made tremendous strides in the accumulation of wealth, educational advance, health and political power is shown by a survey just made public by Monroe N. Work, compiler of the Negro Year Book, says this writer: There is (1) the economic progress of the group. In the past ten years, Negroes have entered industrial reports 332,249 Negroes engaged in skilled and semi-skilled work. The wealth of the group at present is around $2,000,000,000, which is one among the most wealth than it had accumulated up to 1912. There is (2) the educational progress of the group. The total amount expended in 1912 for the Negro education is $15,756,561, the amount expended this year for Negro education is over $40,000,000. The past 13 years have witnessed an ever-increasing time for the educated Negro. The improvement in education is reflected in the increase in the number of students in elementary, secondary, and tertiary schools is especially reflected in the increase in the number completing college courses. Up to 1912 about 6,000 Negroes had completed college courses in the past 13 years as many Negroes graduated from college as in all the previous years. Health Health There is (3) the progress, which, in the past 13 years, has been made in health improvement. The Negro has been the largest and an increasing life span. In 1912 the death rate per thousand was 22.9. In 1922, ten years later, the death rate was 15.7 per thousand; the increase for the period of 31.5 per cent. A recent study of mortality among the 1,800,000 Negro policy-holders of the Metropolitan District of New York that since 1912 there has been an increase of five years in the life expectancy of the Negro. In 1912 the average expectancy of Negro policy-holders, male and female, of all ages from two years up, was; for males 41.32 years; for females, 41.30 years. In 1922 the expectancy of Negro policy-holders, male and female, of all ages from two years up, was; for males 46.91 years; for females, 46.10 years. In 1912 the life span for the Negroes of the country as a whole was about 35 years. It is not so, however, that in 1912 the life span of the Negroes of the country has been increased five years. Politica The period under consideration witnessed an increased activity of the Negro in politics. Some striking features of this activity were: the Negro develop independence in politics. 2. There is an increasing number of Negroes voting the Democratic ticket. 3. Political parties are making efforts to get the Negro votes. In the presidential campaign which has just closed, special Negro campaign bureaus were maintained by the Republican, Democratic and Third Party National campaign committees. 4. There is an increase in the number of Negroes elected to office. In 1914 there were eight Negro members of City Council, 11, 1911, 11, 1912, 1913, 1914, 1915, two Negro members in 1915, two Negro members of State legislatures; in 1924 there were 11. It is also of importance to note that in 1915, I had a record of cities with Negro policemen; in 1924, there were 70 cities which had Negro policemen. Votes 5. A fifth feature of the Negro in politics is the entry and activity of Negro women. This feature is the gradual increase in the South of the number of Negroes qualified to vote. 7. A seventh feature is the increased number voting to vote in and break down the "white primary" in the South. With the Negro dividing his vote, and an increasing number voting the Democratic primary, called white primary becomes a more difficult problem. Another of these secondary aspects which have taken place in the past 18 years. During this period there occurred the greatest migration of Negroes which has ever taken place in this country. In addition to the cities and from the South to the North, 200,000 Negro soldiers were transported to Europe and back. The net result of the migration is that there are now almost a million more Negroes living in cities than there were in the North, half million more Negroes living in the North than there were in 1912. I pass now to the consideration of some primary aspects of the race. Lynching One of these is lynching. Beginning with 1912, there has been an increased publicity, in the press of the time, of a whole with reference to lynching. There has been in recent years a striking growth of public opinion against lynching. 1912-1924, eight states passed laws designed to check lynching. A Federal bill against lynching is now pending in Congress. The pass of the law in 1924 was 15 years a notable decrease in the number of lynchings. In the period, 1912-1924 there were 705 lynchings. This was 40 per cent less than the previous 13 years, and 67 per cent less than The Afro-American—South's Biggest and Best Weekly 42 MILLIONS IN FORGE Business For Year Shows Big Increase. Despite National Depression Two and a quarter million dollars in income and 42 millions of dollars insurance force was reported at the annual meeting of the Board of Directors of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, of Durham N. C., January 12. Another fact that stood out prominently in the report was the fact that despite the general business depression the company gained and that a careful examination of its books showed it to be in exceptionally sound financial condition. Two and a Quarter Million The assets exceed two and a quarter million dollars including over $300,000 in real estate, over $500,000 in real estate, and over $200,000 conservatively appraised, over $200,000 in policy loans, the policies themselves being security, over $250,000 in approved stocks and bonds, over $250,000 in the company. The company has done remarkably well in spite of one of the heaviest mortality years in its history. Over $460,000 were paid in death claims and over $214,000 in sick claims directors pledged themselves to maintain their policy of safe and safe management. The officers were again reminded of the grave responsibility resting upon them regarding the trust funds under their control. The company enjoys the confidence of the public and is determined to conduct its affairs in such a manner as to continually warrant such Officers Elected C. C. Spaulding, the president of the company, is nationally, known because of his close association with the successful operation of the company and because his presiding officer, the Negro. The following officers were elected at the annual meeting: C. C. Spaulding, president; J. M. Avery, vice president and secretary; M. McDougall, second vice president; W. J. Kennedy, assistant secretary; Dr. Claye Donnell, medical director. These gentlemen together with J. W. Wheeler, of Atlanta, Ga., and A. J. Clement, of Charleston, Ga., constitute the Board of Directors of the company. SEEK MEXICANS TO REPLACE MIGRANTS South Turning to Mexican Peons to Fill Gap in Southern Cotton Fields Failing to induce Italianis to shoulder the burden left when Negroes left the intolerable conditions on southern plantations, planters are seeking Mexican aid, seeking to the statement of Henry B. Smithson, proprietor of a large cotton plantation here, a determined effort is being made to link the Mexican peons into the United States for work upon the southern plantations. The need for the Mexican labor is a matter of the past, maintained to the discontent which was driving members of our race from the South into the factories and into the large cities of the Northeast, where they were entering immigration laws, Mr. Smithson admitted, handicapped the work of bringing the Mexicans into the country, but that they were coming in growing numbers, he plains assured. With them, however, is coming a problem as distressing to the white Southerner as the problem present-menting to southernize the Italian labor. The Mexican is proving no more amenable than was the Italian to be. He worked on the field and filed a petition with the white southern owner and "boss." In 1922, Mr. Smithson admitted, more than 478,000 laborers from Florida, Georgia and Mississippi, and their loss has left a gap which had to be filled with some form of foreign labor. He tried to get along with the Italian labor had proved a failure, was proven by the changing over to the Mexican peon. But it did prove no more amenable than successful "it" with the Southern white man's system of doing things than was Filipo. As a substitute for Old Black Joe, they were both about equal failures. The number 2.137 for the 13 years before that time. Segregation The second primary aspect of the problem is segregation. 2. In 1917, the United States Supreme Court declared the segregation laws invalid. 3. Since 1917, two new devices have been evolved for legalizing segregation. (a) By zoning ordinances. (b) By property owners contract. 4. The legality of these methods is now being tested in the courts. 5. In numerous instances bombing has been used in attempting to intimidate and drive out Negroes.

Negro mortality showed a rate of 12.80 per thousand as compared with the 12.75 per thousand for whites. Both figures showed a decrease when compared with the rates for 1923 which were 23.33 and 13.52 respectively, but the decrease for population was Reached Peak in 1918 For 50 years prior to 1918 the Negro death rate was, with two exceptions (28.46 in 1937 and 28.37 in 1918), above 30 per cent of 1919 with a rate of 41.54 when the influenza epidemic exacted its toll. The Negroes' average rate for the 20 year period, 1899-1918, included was 31.49 per thousand in 1918. From 1919 to 1924, the death rate has declined. In 1919 it was 25.44; in 1920, 23.49; in 1921, 20.42—the lowest in the past half century—in 1922 it was 21.24. The years 1923 and 1924 showed an increase over the law record of 1921. Local Bureau Active A detailed study of the high Negro mortality and its causes has been made by the local health bureau. The principal facts which this study has shown are: 1. That the colored death rate is ranging from 60 per cent to 70 per cent higher than the white rate and is giving rise to the death rate of 1.2 to 1.4 deaths per thousand greater than it would be without the colored population. 2. That this excessive death rate of colored persons as compared with white personsBMorem but exists in approximately the same degree in other places. 3. That the colored death rate exceeds the white in all of the age periods up to 65, but lower than the white over 65. 4. That the principal diseases accounting for this excessive death rate are: Tuberculosis, heart disease, apoplexy, pneumonia, syphilis, premature birth and zebrafish. Cancer Rate Lowest 5. That the only disease for which the colored death rate is markedly lower than the white is cancer, but that the colored mortality anti-tuberculosis measures appear to be likely to yield the most successful results because that disease is plague, which is a preventable disease, and that the public and welfare organizations are now well acquainted with tuberculosis, respond to anti-tuberculosis measures. However, as the "Sun" points out in an editorial: "Poorly constructed houses of bad design and in need of effective drainage, congested living conditions—these are some of the factors which prevent the Negro in the health which the white race reaches without difficulty. In large measure they are beyond the power of the Negro to remedy. He must usurp his houses. He certainly must wait for the city to drain the streets in the districts where he lives and to open up highways through the dense settlements into which he is now Is Citywido Challenge The excessive death rate of Negroes is a problem for the entire city. It is more than a racial matter for the disease which originates in Negroes, and spreads to the broad streets and paved boulevards. This high Negro mortality is a challenge to the efforts not only of his own welfare organization in the country which is seeking to improve health conditions.

Ashbie Hawkins Tells School Masters' Club New Type Of Training Is Necessary BOARD'S RULING CITED Married Women As Teachers Take Up All Available Positions In School System Training of boys and girls who graduate from our high schools for a business career is their only hope. While Zia Immanuel in an address here the School Masters' Club at the Y. M. C. A., Saturday night. Mr. Hawkkins cited the recent ruling of the School Board under which married women are permitted to teach. With a long line of eligible available for every opening in the school system, he declared, it is necessary for these boys and girls to seek some other opening. That opening is available for them in business. It has been my experience and I dare say, the experience of every attorney or company downtown who wants trained help, that it is almost impossible to find efficient schools and stenographers. Our schools have being trained for teachers instead of training them for business. "Every business in the last 10 years has been due to loosen business meth- Mr. Hawkins urges the School Masters' Club to get behind an organization of all the teachers in the school, with a building association as a side line. He also urges the teachers to take a more active interest in community work. Dr. C. McDaniel, teacher in the Douglass High School, dissenting from Mr. Hawkins' view, declared that the teacher's chief work was in the school room and not in the community. "If our schools turn out poor spellers and writers, blame should be placed on the teacher. Howard Gross, principal of Schools 114 and 108, in line with Mr. Hawkins' suggestion, urges the teachers to take a building association, which would admit to membership all the teachers in the city.

BISHOP HURST SCORES HIRING OF CONVICTS Florida Has Stopped it, Maryland Keeps It Up At Cheltenham OFFICIALS ADMIT LAXITY City Authorities Have Not Visited Place In Ten Years They Say "We have stopped hiring out convicts in Florida, but we keep it up in Maryland," declared Bishop John Hurst, referring to the practice of hiring out boys sent to the House of Reformation at Chettleham. Bishop Hurst hired before Nathaniel Grasty, superintendent of City charities and Senator M. O'Den, who has charge of State appropriations in the Heen Building, Thursday. Bishop Hurst pointed out that in the last two years Baltimore Grand Jury their reports have displayed the following facts concerning chettleham: 1) Lack of schooling. Inmates receive less than two months' instruction each year from undoubtful and untrained teachers. 2) Lack of facilities for instruction in trades. Except for the broom shop, the 330 inmates get little real training that will serve them in after (3) Lashing is administered by the Superintendent or the guard who use leather straps, canes or heavy sticks. (4) Lack of sanitary arrangements. Inmates use the same wash clothes and towels; clothing ragged and no that bath tubs are frequently used. (5) Superintendent John B.

Mr. Gratz递交了 the delegation that, although he is responsible for paying over every year the city's appropriation of $35,000 for the visit, he visited the institution for the past ten years. He admitted also that he had heard frequent complaints about it. Senator Odgen declared he had never seen reports of the Baltimore Grand Juries telling of conditions of Cheltenham and asked that they be laid before him.

The inference was that the President had decided to give the place to a member of the race after having appointed white men only to it for the past twelve years. A hundred capable men can be found for the post, IF the color line can be bent enough to permit their appointment, which is up to President Coolidge solely. The main line of procedure now is to get the door open through public sentiment expressed to the President. When that is done, there will be time to pick out the most efficient candidate. Why Limit It To Higher Courts Judge Kennamer, white, reported as speaking from the Federal bench in Tulsa, Oklahoma, last week, said, "The Negro has as much chance of getting justice in the State Supreme Court as he has of flying." The case at bar must have been flagrant indeed to draw this comment from a federal judge who had long been a member of the State Supreme Court. We presume he spoke from his own experience, and are therefore not surprised. In entire friendliness and without attempting to be facetious, we would ask Judge Kennemer "Why limit his remarks to the State Supreme Court?"

This action was taken by the executive committee of the State Central body in the District of Columbia, according to press reports, "after careful deliberation." G. O. P. politicians charged Dean Miller with "persistent letter writing," "persuading colored people to consider the merits of defeated and rival candidates," and actually "supporting LaFollette and Davis in the last election." The committee declared itself opposed to political activity by university men and women. So it happens that Dean Miller, like LaFollette and other Republican insurgents, finds himself outside the the G. O. P. ranks, a situation which his friends regard as a distinction rather than a disgrace. Dean Miller has never been a Republican except in name. Living in Washington, he has probably never cast a single ballot in his life. He has always been on the side of human rights first, and on the side of the Republican party second. He rebuked Harding, the Republican President, for his Birmingham speech as soundly as he berated Wilson, the Democrat, for his failure to include the Negro in his plan for world democracy. The joke is on the Lilliputian Washington Republicans. They create much fuss and feathers in reading some one out of the party who has never been in it. If the. G. O. P. is finished with Dean Miller, it might be pertinent to ask what is going to do with the other half million Negroes, who also voted for Lafollette and Davis. No Whitewash Wanted Shop William D. Johnson, A. M. E. Church, in an open letter to the Bishops' Council, asked for an investigation of graft charges made him by Mr. Ira T. Bryant, head of the A. M. E. School Union. Bryant has had an extraordinary experience years in the line of making charges against bishops. Previous to the general conference year at Louisville, he filed charges in the charging graft, theft, bigotry, drunkness, and violations of the ten commandments and of the bishops. He was thought that the conference would not replace the blame and halt this unfavorable act. It showed its confidence in Mr. Bryant to a general office, and so far as the charges against bishops-were whitewashed. Bishop A. J. Carey, was transferred to denomination can succeed with such seized charges against its bishops as Mr. B. Bently making. Investigation by a non-parish would take place at once and punishment for the committee's findings. Bishop William D. Johnson, A. M. E. Church, Texas District, in an open letter to the Bishops' Council, is reported as asking for an investigation of graft charges made public against him by Mr. Ira T. Bryant, head of the A. M. E. Sunday-School Union. Mr. Bryant has had an extraordinary experience for the past few years in the line of making charges against Methodist bishops. Previous to the general conference, which met last year at Louisville, he filed charges in the church paper charging graft, theft, bigotry, drunkedness, and several other violations of the ten commandments against one or two of the bishops. It was thought that the conference would hear these charges, place the blame and halt this unfavorable publicity. He did not. It showed its confidence in Mr. Bryant by relecting him to a general office, and so far as the public knows, the charges against bishops were whitewashed. One of them, Bishop A. J. Carey, was transferred to another district. No denomination can succeed with such serious and repeated charged against its bishops as Mr. Bryant has been recently making. Investigation by a nonpartisan committee should take place at once and punishment follow hard upon the committee's findings.

The enforced merger of the Standard Life Insurance Company with a white company in Atlanta means the loss to the race of its biggest corporation in the South. The loss, according to available reports, is due to overexpansion rather than to manipulation of funds or personal dishonesty on the part of the Standard's officials and directors. The company's book income from premiums amounted to nearly a half million dollars a year. It invested in Atlanta real estate, building homes and financing small business concerns. Then came the migration, leaving Atlanta with 3,000 empty dwellings and 2,000 empty apartments. The company lost money by the thousands and spent other thousands in making loans. So came the crash. Policyholders with $22,000,000 of insurance in force will not lose a penny; stockholders, who have invested $250,000, will lose a part of this. The merger is a setback rather than catastrophe. It may prove a positive benefit to the race if its lesson is not lost upon the 14 remaining Negro insurance companies. Since business, like race development, must proceed along conservative lines to be safe. Failure of the Standard turns loose hundreds of experienced insurance men who have learned how not to run the insurance business. Undoubtedly they will carry with them, wherever they locate, the message that big business must be the first and just big last. KELLY MILLER WRITES REGULARLY FOR THE AFRO This writer once knew a young matron who ended her days in the hospital. Until death ended her pittable plight she suffered the untold agony of illusion that she was being consumed by the unquenchable fires of hell. Her life said that what sent her there was the constant expression by her husband of his faith in her constancy and goodness. In her heart she knew she harbored a secret she could not confess. The constant lashing of her constancy and living hell. Religion And The Prize Fight Ring Tiger Flowers, the "deacon" prize fighter, is a member of the A. M. E. Church and reads three verses of the stantament each morning and evening. Besides he has nearly $100,000 invested in Atlanta real estate. This investment has enabled the churchmen, for Flowers had a hard time making his colaborers in the church, of which he was a steward, allow him to remain both there and in the church. They frowned in holy horror upon a man who stood before an adversary in the prize ring where the light is white, while some of them knifed him. If the same spirit was carried into the conference and other places where men resort to almost any means to carry their ambitions; where they slug and foul to win, reinforce would have a mighty awakening. The. American Race Dr. Franz Boas, of Columbia University, told a body of scientists recently that the present tests and restrictions which were carried out along racial lines, were "stupid and unscientific," with him. Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, anthropologist of the National Museum, stated further that he had discovered signs of "an approaching American race." This race will be characterized by the number of any white race on the earth. She has the real melting pot where pale 'Nordica' and rugged lands meet. The lands may fuse. She may select the best from all group bloods and characteristics, even unto the islands of the seas for intoxic group has the most blood.

JONES kings of Romans and classic Greeks; of stoic Indians, English tenacity and long dormant energy of the sons of Africa. Some day when we are not afraid to think seriously of eugenics and birth control we will well have a hand in making a mighty race of men. Although it has been clearly indicated by the chieftains who marshalled the colored Republican vote in the recent campaign, just what they camp, there has been nothing to indicate whether or when they would drop. But in the meantime and perhaps in years past, funds last, the elect will maintain headquarters in the Nation's Capitol to be near at hand if they do fall. Flushed with the fire of victory, Matteo Bolloni goes down the most ambitious program over thought out by a politician of the race and while it has been somewhat bolled down, it must be maintained the group would have certainly attained something more substantial than jobs. But this is probably the reason why it is bolled down, it is hardly to be expected that even a Republican administration would put colored men into places where they would have any chance of moulding this controversy with their official power. Indirectly, however, these ambitious demands will have a good effect in showing what we are aiming at. We will be expected to vote of Negroes cannot be expected to be sewed up solely by party name, they will make leaders of all parties do some pragmatic thinking. When we choose a candidate, we whether for teachers get the plums or not, the rank and file will be satisfied if some real practical thinking is done in the right-direction. Still, indies and gentlemen, it will be interesting to know when any of these plums are expected to be dropped. Book Chat BY MARY WHITE OVINGTON CITY UNIVERSITY Directors of Ad- vancement of Cooled People "AN ANTHOLOGY OF VERSE BY MARY WHITE OVINGTON AMERICAN NEGROES* By N. C. Clark, O. D., and Walter Clinton Jackson, Published by The Trinity College Press, Dur- ham, N. C. Price $2. B. by mail, $2.10. This is the third anthology of Nego verse in two years, a significant In- troduction to the literary work of the American literary work of the American colored people. If James Weldon Johnson's an- thology is popular, it can be said of the Trinity College connection, which is scholarly. We have here, not only introductory literary sketches of each poet, such as Mr. Kerlin gives, but also bi- lography of the works of Johnson, there is as much prose in this volume as poetry. We turn to this Trinity College con- NECTION, however, for the poetry alone, we shall be disappointed. The selec- tions chosen do not compense excellence to Johnson, but to the Johnson, and although the book has been printed sufficiently recent to include Langer and Langston Hughes, only Counte- P. Cullen is quoted, and he with only one poem. Nero work and shows a de- tendency to admire the sentimental. Questions-Answers By George W. Wells Parker for A. N. P. Questions about Nagy History anywhere, if of general interest and not too long, will be answered by Mr. Parker in this column. Sometimes ago you mentioned about African blood being blessed by Jesus, and give what a formation you have on the subject—J. S. W. Minneapolis, Minn. You found the present Swedish dynasty, had a Moorish mother, while Gustavus IV, the last sovereign of Sweden, in Sweden, was called "The Moor," because of his very dark complexion. When he was born his grandmother, Sweden, proclaimed that Sweden, sister of Frederick the Great of Prussia, pro-claimed that the Danish and her daughter, the young Danish queen. The Baron was of Moorish descent on his maternal grandmother of Sweden and the reigning grand duke of Daden are great grandchildren of Gustavus IV, the Moor, his uncle, Prince Oscar, renounced his rights or succession in order to edba Munck von Fulkau, a lineal descendant of Gustavus IV, the father of Gustavus IV. Therefore, you understand how African blood is to be found in the most aristocratic blood of Europe.

Jones will probably say confession kept that the death bed confession kept to hell. It may, but what will probably be overlooked will be the fact that for 36 years Brown HAS ACTUALLY BEEN IN HELL. The worst hell that the human body can think of is the hell of a stinging conscience. Perhaps every minute of those 36 years and night when most men sleep, Brown was looking into the reverence of those who whose life had been snuffed out by him. No doubt, the soul of Brown, facing the Eternal Judge, was given the privilege of confession, to respite whose life had been known. If after this life there is a sacrifice, and women can establish in their consciouses, then Heaven pity the that must spend eternity there.

In the meantime, might have been considered a good substantial body. It had been built in a way it resembled drift wood, kept together only by the detection. But as we all know, there is a freezing point, a melting point organized during the war prosperity period, has at last exploded. It never was what might have been contained and substantial body. It had no definite aims and in a way it resembled drift wood, kept to the edge of the direction of the tide. But, as we all know, there is a freezing point and a breaking point, a melting point. The Bachelors threatened to reach the breaking point on many occasions, but it appears it withstood many a strain for some unknown reason. However, it had to come, then, to the "organization" would last, say for an instance, as long as the one horse shay.

Charges The School Board paid as much attention to Mrs. Baurenschmidt's charges as Jack Dempsey paid to Harry Wills' challenges. Mrs. Baurenschmidt was politely snubbed as she should have been, for if she had out loud line concerning the 'pale faces' as she was concerning the darker brother, she never was in line. Of course, so far as she is concerned, we were not giving her a thought to the color of the hairstyle he heard about colored teachers frequenting Smith's Hotel. I must admit, some of the colored teachers have many shortcomings, the chief one being the loss of hair color. We are pretty much of this they are pretty much on the level. The "squawk" Mrs. Baurenschmidt brought up was absolutely without foundation. She was unreliably informed and the party who unbelievably else any good. However, suppose Mrs. Baurenschmidt had been right in her contention. She, of all people, should not up with any such a "crunch." In the good old days when two big men could not carry two dollars worth of beer, the Baurenschmidt们 were walking up seven years ago, for instance, if you had walked in a bar and asked for a bottle of beer without designating what kind, the toller on the other side of the counter would ask you to go out.

Edwards (For The Associated Negro Press) 155.—What is inscribed on the tomb of David Livingstone, the great explorer? David Livingstone, the pioneer missionary and great explorer, who died in Africa in 1873 was thoroughly acquainted with the slave-trade in all its horrors, and he was an ardent missionary. Today at the time of his death, he is the first in the world to have Westminster with Britain's 'fortious dead' and inscribed upon his tomb are these, his last words: "All I can add, in my solitude is: May Heaven's rich blessing come down on every one—Amerienn, English, or Turk—who will help to heal this open sore of the world, the slave trade." 156.—Who was Francis Burns? In 1858, Francis Burns, the first Negro Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, was elected and ordained bishop for Africa. He was born in Albany, New York, in 1809, converted at 16, but was for a year at 17, and previous to his elec's in 1809 he spent 25 years in Africa as a missionary. By that manly bearing and exalted Christian character which ever distinguished him, he overcame many of the prejudices of his day and became the first Negro teacher of a mixed school in his native State. 157.—Who invented ice Cream? There are 110,000 soda fountains in the United States, and they dispense 6,800,000 drinks and dishes each year. The soda fountain is only 50 years old, and all descend from the original one. Philadelphia which resulted from the accidental invention of ice cream by a Negro cook by the name of Sam Jackson. 165—Who is Matthew.

Few have so full, and none a fuller measure of her spirit. For fifty years he has kept the faith. George William Cook is not only a Howard man; but he is in many ways "the" Howard man, par excellence. George William Cook entered Howard University, October 7, 1874. As a boy and man, student and teacher, he has been continuously connected with the institution from that time until October 9th, taking the Faculty and student body to suitable notice of his fifth scholastic anniversary. In this day, when the world is in quest of novelty, fresh excitement and shifting opportunities, it is unusual for one to stand so long at a single station. But few men begin and complete their career under the same auspicious conditions which period when the waters of the nation's soul troubled, it apt to become apostate to the doctrine of equality or prove redemptive to the welfare of the Negro race. His interest in the Negro race is sincere and soul deep. Here again he caught the spirit of the institution from such Henry Browne Frederick Douglas and John M. Langston, with whom his University relations brought him in close contact. He sailed to the feet of Charles Sumner, Roscoe Cocklin, and learns the gospel of human liberty from them. No one who was indoctrinated in the principles of human rights and statues of the Nation period when the waters of the nation's soul troubled, it apt to become apostate to the doctrine of equality or prove redemptive to the welfare of the Negro race. Young, Cook was born a slave in Virginia and found his way to north as an enslaved slave. "There was within him that inner urgency of soul and surgenry of spirit that he was able to lovely lot of his birth and status." The ambition which surged in the breast of Young Cook may be taken to represent both a person- The overthrow of the institution of slavery had just broken up the old foundations of society and unheralded the rise of a nation enhanced with lightning-like eatery. The newly quickened Negro youth were distraught with bewilderment. The conscience of the nation was stirred to its depth. The students were released. The fountain of philanthropy flowed freely. Devoted;仁en and women gave not only their material pittance, but gave themselves for the intellectual, moral and spiritual benefit, but did new found rebel and brother. Came To Howard Early Schools, colleges, and universities sprang up under the magic wand of Christian endeavor. Great crises of Fake or Flark: Wake of Atlanta, Tupper, of Shaw, Armstrong, of Hampton, and Howard of Howard, gave themselves and all that that there was to them. They were the bright light of ambitious and aspiring Negro youth. George William Cook is of the first fruits of those labor, which are their justification and the reason for their being. They were seeing visions, and the young women were dreaming dreams. Quickened by the transforming spirit of the new awakening, they freed in order that knowledge might be increased. They flocked from everywhere and from nowhere to, the newly established seats of teaching, and the title of teacher, that George Cook came to Harvard University. The whole atmosphere was surcharged with intellectual, moral and spiritual energy. All those who were not one in mind felt one on all felt the full measure of its spirit. These were days of swift transformations, when intellect and character were transfigured in a moment, in the presence of Melchieduk had returned. There was no record of father or mother or beginning of days. The lift between slavery and the higher callings of life was levelled from the plow to the bound from the plow to the pulpit, from the cornfield to Congress, from the barber's chair to the bishop's bench, from servile service to the slave's cabin to the college chair. In those days came Young Cook to Howard University, and was baptized with the fire and faith of its high ideal and was enthused with a love that will not let him go. George. Cook passed through the Academy and, College departments, and after seven years was graduated with Valedictorian degree from the highest honor of his class. Immediately upon graduation he was appointed to a teaching届 in 1831. Mr. Cook was employed by the University as a helper at the time of his admission; his tenure of service covers the entire period of 50 years. His official relation ship-to the University has been a long time. He has three departments, preparatory, college and law. He has seen 10 administrations come and go. He has served his Alma Mater in pedagogy, professor, dean, business manager, secretary-treasurer and acting president. In all of these relationships he has benefited from his energy, enthusiasm, devotion and loyalty which stamp his very nature. Indeed, he is both a product of and a power in, the life of the University and to which he gives his loyalty and to which he gives his loyalty and his love. Is "The Howard Man" Professor - Cook - embodies and breathes forth, the Howard spirit which he caught of the founders and the leaders of the university, quantity and undiluted quality and pours out to the successive generations of students who feel his touch and influence. There is no other alumnus whose life is so intimately connected to the University, the table of the University. Few have caught so full, and none a fuller measure of her spirit. Professor Cook is not a man of stature, but a man of achievements; all, of his activities are characterized by intelligence, industry, efficiency and faithfulness. For 50 years he has kept the faith. George William Cook is, not only a man of stature, but a man of ways, the Howard par excellence. Was Sumner Disciple But his uninterest, and influence have not been limited wholly to the confines of his Alma Mater. He is assistant in the topographical division of the Geological Survey and spent three summer vacations in the field work of this scientific bureau.

No one who was indoctrinated in the principles of human nature was able to be at that period when the waters of the nation's soul troubled, is apt to become apostate to the doctrine of the NEGRG race, to the welfare of the Negro race. Honored By Roosevelt Professor Cook is deeply interested in the question of social betement of the people. No colored citizen of the District of Columbia has made and substance to social welfare as he. He served for 12 years as a member of the Board of Charities of the District of Columbia by appointment of three Presidents of the Professor Cook was honored by President Roosevelt with membership on "The President's Homes' Commission," the object of which President and to Congress and to submit recommendations upon the housing conditions in the District of Columbia.

Dean Cook forwards the Dean of the School of Commerce and Finance—thru frugality, thrift, and wise business management of his personal affairs, has accumulated a commendable, and as one of the most cultivated the business circles of Washington. Dean Cook is especially happy in his domestic relations. By a strange romance of history, Mrs. Coralie and her husband, Basil cultivated and accomplished woman, was born near his own birthplace in Western Virginia. After many years of upward struggle which led them by faith, she became a dedicated wife. One son blesses the fruits of that marriage. Mrs. Cook; like her husband, is deeply interested in social services to the poor and the elderly. Her counsel and advice are in wide request. She is in frequent demand for public addresses in all parts of the country. Mrs. Cook is a member of the Education of the District of Columbia, where the efficiency of her service is attested by the fact that she has served longer than any other memorialized color, in the history of the Board. Dean Cook has recently acquired for his residence a stately stone mansion contiguous to the University, campus was in the midst of precious grounds and stately trees, where he calculates to spend his latter days enjoying his well-earned otum cum dignitate within the midst of the university which he has heard so long and loved so well. Fifty years ago, young George Cook entered upon his studentship at the thalamus and vision of youth. Now after the lapse of half a century, his heart still beats for his Alma Mater as fervently as a boy, with the enthusiasm of his, youth unabated, and his vision undimmed. 15 Years Ago Items From The Afro-American January 15, 1910 Judge Robert H.

BUDD Literature by and about colored people is undoubtedly at the heart of the history of the country.

Its thesis is that slavery, war and caste, and despite our presence Negro has been a distinct naset to this country, and has brought a contribution without which American could not have been, and that, problem is failure to recognize this fact and to continue to act as the Negro were a representative of a subhuman species, fitted only for Black men, says Dr. DuBois helped exile America, 6,000 fought in the Revolution, 63,000 were killed and 200,000 sent overseas in the World War. But chiefly as laborers has the black man helped build America, contributed to its ideals of freedom, and helped beyond this the black man has brought to America a sense of meekness and humility which America never has recognized and persevered. All the DuBois fire and energy are in his newest book, together with monous lines which sometimes approximate the lyric.

He meets a father and brother look her in her room to krie her from leaving home or enraging her. She suitor for Lida's hand (Mailey) threatens to Lynch Bennett, when he comes a second time, denly. (Now go with the story.) The two eat and soon devoured the food, both being hungry and like two children at play over this meal. When the meal was finished, "I'll gather the dishes and we may want them" she said. "I'll wash them though, and you can dry them. Come on," she invited. Bennet jumped to the task with relish. Leaning over the cliff, the water on each dish and it to Bennet who dried each in it was handed to him. "This is great fun," she smiled as she handed him the last glass. "Like camping out, or living as the early settlers and pioneers who glorious time they must have had," she added. "many a hardship." Bennet added. "All for us, though, and the land we have," Lida observed. "It was then been tidied. Lida decided to return to the house, it was after noontime and hurriedly sliding down the grapevine rope she looked up to give a warning to Bennet. "Be careful now she said. 'Til I be back before dinner.'" With that, after blowing a kiss to Bennet from the tips of her fingers so daintily that Bennet was almost tempted to descend and get a real one, she turned and was soon lost in the shadows of the trees. Bennet turned to his hiding place, and being drowsy, took one of the books from the shelf and started to read. He was not occupied long with this, however, before his eyelids drooped and he stretched out on the couch, sound asleep. It was far into the afternoon before he awoke again. When he did so it was without opening his eyes. With his eyes closed his first consciousness was that someone was watching him. He kept his eyes closed for a moment or two longer as if to make sure that his sense was right. With the surity that some eyes were staring at him he slowly opened his eyes to see Lida standing over him. "Oh, what a sleepy head! I thought you'd never wake." "Why should I wake with such a sweet guard as you watching over me?" he haunted. me," he bantered. "someone might have been someone else—plague some enemy." "Never mind what might have been. It was you and I glad," Bennett said thankfully. She seated herself beside him placing the hand behind her face, "I can't afraid I can't go with you tonight, Dear." Bennett's heart sank into a dungeon of gloom. "I thought you'd realize I was bringing too much trouble on you." "It's not that, Dear. I'm going to be fine," Bennett said not well. I think his mind's weakening," she explained sorrowfully. Lida then related her experience of the morning when she met Colonel Lauriston and he failed to recognize her. Her life's events continued. He hates to think of my loving you and marrying you. It has worried him so that I think his mind is breaking." "Heart of Mine, even though we love as always as we do, I think we'd better separate—at least for a time." "The time will never righten things to the extent that my father of my brother will change. I know you're white so far as blood, bearing and character are concerned. And the rest makes no difference to me. EXPLAINED Kerry, married woman should write for Free Book written by her, Burroughs.

Your Big Opportunity Do you want to make big money quicker and easier than ever before? Do you want to give your full time or spare time and be handsomely paid for it? PORO COLLEGE or a nearby PORO AGENT will teach you the PORO SYSTEM quickly at small cost, and show you how. BY JOSHUA HENRY JONES Down here, though, people see things differently and time will never change them. I want to want to live down here, I want to be where you are. I want to be where my love is—and that's with you. I don't want to leave Daddy, just yet, yet. I may never see you again. when I will be prophesied. "I think it best for your sate that I go back alone. It will be sad for me.—Life will be gone but the memory of you wal lalways be with me. Can't we let the love you have in me, can we treasure each other though far apart, for having known and loved each other? I have never intended that my love should bring you harm—that it should cause you a moment's pain." Because we me more pain by leaving me. Life will be dark and drab without you. "Still I don't think I'm worthy of all the gaerifice you're making." Am I the only one making sacri "Aren't you making sacrifices for me? Your family opposes the match as well as mine. You are sacrificing them, why should I cling to mine. We have to own our own ways to make in the world. You, yourself have said that I'm willing to make my sacrifices for you, just as you're willing to make them for me." "After all, how much difference is the difference in how much? None in reality. It's just a matter of pride and narcissism. Loving you I have not lost anything. Rather have I gained," Bennet concluded. "Yes, and my life has been enriched by your words. No, let's think of you. You can't. I can't leave my father just yet. He just sits about and stares and stares. He won't eat. And this afternoon I came across him with the barems of praying to a man—Walk. Walk. Walk. You gets better, then we'll go. You'll be perfectly safe here," Lida assured. "Oh, it's not my safety that I should assume." Bennet explained. Lida looked out through the curtain of falling water. I must go back to the house now. I've brought you something more to eat. And come back with news and a phone, they're scouring the whole of creation for you. Elie went to Mrs. Gortona this morning when he got up to the house and hung it in his room. The whole country-side has been called on to find you.—And here you are, "Lida chuckled" "Oh, why didn't you wash that stain off your face?" she asked. "I don't want to see you that way. I want you to see the house as a mapkin from the lunch basket and held it under the spray then stepped over to where Dennet was sitting and began reciting "Naughty Boy," she said playfully. "Don't want to wash his face, eh. Well, I'll do it for you." After removing all the stains, "There," she said, "You look like the man you are, not like someone else." She soon started down the ladder again and on reaching the ground "I'll be back before dark. Cheer up. Don't be loneless." His HARTY smile Lida's heart was light as she neared her home despite the troubles that swirled about her. So lighthearted was she that she was watching the dog and watched her as she crossed the yard. Seeing her galaxy aroused his resentment against the girl and her lover. He looked at her long and sad face. As she reached the top step he grew suspicious of her happiness. She was about to pass him and enter the living room when he caught her by the door. "Here. Where've you been?" he demanded abruptly, and under his grasp and stood facing him, piquancy and laring in her attitude. "What matters to you?" she asked. "No girl's got any business running about the country alone." Since she was all that life, at least until you and Daddy, appointed Mar. Marley my guardian?" she taunted. "Need a guardian, all right. You ought to be put away." Elvin observed. "And why?" Elvin refused to answer. Suddenly he pointedly asked: "Is she's still here? She's still continued..." Bennet? "How should I know, she answered innocently. "You knights of the old fools ought to not best. Didn't you want to win best?" "No, we didn't find him, but we will and when we do..." He did not finish the threat for Lila while she continued: "That, for your threat, I'm heart. Murderers in soul—and And for what? All because I want to marry the man of my choice." "Ellie, Brother of Mine, be a white as you—and in some wwher," Lida taunted. "He may be white in skin but a drop of black blood in his veins, you know that that makes him, down here." "It doesn't alter his manhood of character, or humanness. And from what I've seen of southern chihuahua, you men are chihuahous superficially, because you're just animal. I've had to think over some of the things I've seen down here later and they don't compare very favorably with women, is far game to you men, is far black or white. It little becomes any of you to talk. "Besides birth is a mere matter of accident. We can't help what born but we can improve on circumstance. And I'm beginning to believe in much mobility in one race as another, taken man for man." "Well, you'll never marry Bennet the country wont stand for that a marriage," her brother predicted. "No it won't stand for that kind of marriage," marriages that like God-like, but it will stand for relations in the dark between men and black women, where men are forced to no more of a womenelessness than a womenlessness in joining counties. "Laugh back." That's true, and it's not sure that the counties are different here. Both Lida and Elin turn into looked into the eyes of Mrs. Gorton. "Howdy, Mrs. Gorton" Lida greeted the woman. "Come up and be the woman." We were just having a leather spot. "Yes, I hear your quarrelling and didn't want to spoil a good day. You know the best fight I ever saw, the best and sometimes the vicious. I don't know why name made it so but there seems always antagonisms between brother and another, and brother and sister. Porary and, like all children, the fights are soon forgotten. But that right about these men and their dude. I've had the experience, know. "But I didn't comn here to test or to join any fussing. I came here to find out what all this excitement about—this running around over the man calling him a black man. "But he is black. Mrs. Gorman maintained Elvin. "He is black. "Glong with you. You didn't have a man from your side in the road that day? If he's black then your black. But what's he done, you should run him off in the day and go hunting him in the daytime" or Elvin and back to Leda again. "He wanted to marry Lida," Ervin blurted out. "Fancy a man with black blood wanting to marry a sister." "He's as good as you," defends Lida hotly, "and a lot better." "I don't give a hotter king than I want marry you," I'll see you be dead first." Then turning to his Gorton, "Mrs. Gorton, tell her he's preposterous the thing is. My father is already losing his mind over the affair." "Park losing his mind? Park being his mind? Not over that. He's got a lot of pride but his family is cured. I told him so last year. I tell you a new one. What right is he got to let his mind over Lida's marrying the man she wants? What difference does it make if there is black blood in his veins. Most likely there's some black blood in the veins of us. Perhaps there's some in me if I know there's some in Park's and therefore there's some in yours. Even, in my mind, I don't mind there's any." Elvin reeled from a blood on the news the woman impaired. For few seconds he was dosed. Then he left her his large studied finger the flues, the long, covered, vein-burring back of her hands, in a long silence. His takes of breath were deep and heavy, and she was spalling also. It likewise took her breath. But she soon recovered and there filled her heart a happiness that almost forced her to scream. Before she could screak, it covered himself and spilled.

Easy Way to Break Severest Cough No matter how long you have had a persistent, weakening cough—no matter how many remedies you have tried without success—you can usually get relief instantly, and often relieve the entire cough condition in 24 hours, by a very simple method. The method is based on a remarkable prescription known as Dr. King's New Discovery for Coughs. You simply take one teaspoonful and hold it in your throat for 15 or 20 seconds before swallowing it, without following with water. The prescription has a double effect: It not only soothes and heals soreness and irritation, but it quickly loosens and removes the phlegm and the congestion which are the direct cause of the coughing. The prompt relief seems almost magical, and the quickness with which the whole cough condition disappears is often simply amazing. There is nothing better for coughs, chest colds, bronchitis, bronchialasthma, hoarseness, and almost every throat irritation. Economical, too, as the dose is only one teaspoonful.

LABOR DISPUTE Organization Gets Right To Represent Men in Parleys On Subject Of Wages Increase In Pay Of Men Is Expected To Follow Soon (Special AFRO Correspondence) Washington. — By order of the United States Railroad Labor Board, "Supreme Court" of all wages and working rules, disputes among railroad management and employees, the Brotherhood of Dining Car Employees, organization of railroad dining car cooks waiters, and the Southern Railway System have just concluded a secret-ballot election to determine the representative capacity of the organization in representing the Southern's cooks waiters in making agreement on wage increases and overtime payment. The result was a complete victory for the cooks-waiters organization. The secret-b ballot is the most practical way to elect a candidate to the railroad's refusal to deal with the employees' organizations. It is conducted under Labor Boundaries by piles of paper made by equal numbers of representatives of management and of employees. Rienel B. Lemse, president of B. Lemse Labor, was Marshal of the organization forces, while C. D. Mackay, assistant to the vice president, in charge of personnel of the Southern Railway was head of the company group. Strictly Labor Union The Brotherhood of Dining Car Employees is the most interesting organization of our group. Strictly a labor union, functioning in accordance with the Law Section of the "Each-Cum-Employee" statute, makes the representatives to the Railroad Administration during the period of Federal Control of the railroads which brought the eight hour day to dining car cook-waiters, with overtime payment, and which it has generated. The organization is restored to private management—against most formidable opposition. $200,000 Increase By virtue of its activities $200,000 have been received by dining car locks-waiters in increased wages and overtime payment in the four cars, on the bus and rules railroads including the New York Central Lines, Pennsylvania System, "New Haven," greatest passenger train service, continuous one-year fight, forced the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad management into agreement which added approximately $20,000 annually to the labor force. There is no pending before the Labor Board a $40,000 back pay claim against the Coast Line, on which the Board is likely to order a hearing may next take place in organization with other lines which caused the Southern Railway to delay, on account of which the employees asked the board to elect election in final and speedy determination of the issue.

Miss Craft, a teacher in Douglass High School, is said to have danced the "Hula" referred to. The Pollyannia Club had no statement about the question are willing to submit the question to the public. Miss Slowe's statement is as follows: Miss Slowe's Statement "On Tuesday, January 13. I had an informal and what I thought was a confidential conversation with the consultant Wilkinson on the question of whether or not it was sound educational policy for the school students and the normal school students to appear on the stage in an entertainment of the type known as the Revue which had the follow-up." Hula by a Teacher "A cabaret scene, the Apache dance, the Hula or Hawaiian dance done by the teacher not mentioned in the schools, a little child about eight years old who sang ragtime songs with a teacher not connoisseur, and other schools accompanying her, and other features including suggestive jokes by a comedian. The query was the recent revue staged by the Pollyanna Club of Washington, some members of which were not in the purpose to criticise the Club and had there been no teachers in it and no children involved, its name would not have been men Talked Over Matter "Mr. Wilkinson and I talked over the situation for about a half hour, and I part of two persons engaged in educational work, and agreed absolutely that teachers should be careful to hold up the highest standards for their children and that the above mentioned features of the revue profession with the dignity of keeping staff with the dignity of the teaching profession. Discussion Twisted "Bofe I left, Mr. Wilkinson said that he thought he would discuss the situation with his teacher, and he would telephone me the next morning what their opinion on the educational policy under discussion was. I was very amused, I received on Wednesday morning from Mr. Wilkinson a letter which had been published to the officers of the Pollyanna Club. My amusement increased when I read that my school system. My amusement discussion of a sound educational policy for us as educators to teach it, it is nevertheless a very rare." When publicity was given to my private conference, and when the object of my conference was the letter of the Assistant Superintendent, I found it necessary to reply to him in vindication of myself, and this accounts for letter. Howard Affected "I wish to add that whatever affects the educational ideals of this community affects the policies and institutions in which I labor. Therefore, there should be common agreement among those of us engaged in the high calling of the profession, and think it best to foster. My interest in the matter is based upon this point chiefly, and upon the proper training of young people wherever they are. "I think, as an American citizen, I have a right to express my opinion on any public matters in anyone agrees with me or not." CRACKERS WISH FOR SLAVERY AGAIN New Orleans, La., Jan. 19.—Characterizing Abraham Lincoln as the original Garveyite who wanted to return the Negro race to Africa, Dr. W. A. Plecker, Virginia state register of vital statistics, deplored the amazing progress of the Negro race in all avenues of human attainment. He particularly stressed what he termed "the menace to white supremacy, because of the tremendous amount of education and wealth which Negroes are assimilating and acquiring." Plecker also predicted absorption of the whites by the mixture of the white and Negro race through intermarriage. He also declared that "The Negro as a laborer is valuable, and if it were possible to preserve the race in purity with him in our midst it would be a great asset." The Afro-American—South's Biggest and Best Weekly MORE STANDARD (Continued from Page 1) pany, due to the demands for liquidation forced by the Insurance Commission, were more involved than a cursory examination indicated, and, thirdly, a disinclination on the part of the Standard and Service companies to resign from what they considered their work. Mr. Cox and the Eastern group are then said to have withdrawn their offer. Business Rolled In The ups and downs of Standard have held the attention of the entire race. Probably no business venture has so stirred the financial ambitions and dreams of the Standard. His ability to handle big commercial affairs than did Standard Life under the direction of Heman E. Perry, its founder and guiding genius. Its success can be attributed for many of the enterprises started during the past decade. Beginning a dozen years ago, Mr. Perry with 15 years of experience as an insurance salesman behind him in an old line insurance company to a group of stockholders scattered in various sections of the country. One hundred thousand dollars was deposited with the State of Georgia to meet the requirements, and Standard was launched. From its inception, business rolled in until 10 years later officials reported 25,000 policy holders, whose policies amounted to $25,000,000. 300 inspectors, home and branch office employees. Trained salesmen and executives were employed, big call-breme men entered the insurance game, a marker was pointed to as an inspiration, an example of Negro achievement. Deposited in White Banks An immense income was developed, deposited for the most part in white banks. President Perry began the capital so that it might bring greater returns to the stockholders and be of greater benefit to the race. Was it at the time that the projects which turned the spotlight upon his ability as an organizer. Forming the Citizens Trust Company, which operated at $500,000, which acted as chief depository for standard, then the Service Realty Company, which served as an outlet through which the company worked. He repeatedly plunged into a chain of corporations, organizing the Service Pharmacy Company, operating three drug stores, and the Service Engineering and Construction Company. The Service Foundation, the Service Farm Bureau, The Pioneer Merchant Corporation, The Pioneer Merchant Corporation, and the Penny Savings Bank. Expansion Too Rapid His critics point to this rapid expansion as unseason and unwise and predicate the subsequent difficulties and the trickling of Standard money through the Service Company into these various enterprises. Even so, they do not accuse Mr. Perry of dishonesty, bias, and a written which, had he been successful in carrying through would have stamped him as a miracle man. He assert that despite statements published in a New York magazine a year ago that he was worth $5,000,000, that actually he is a poor man and that he had not been actually by his stupendous endearers. Lacked Experienced Help Many claim he was endeavoring to build up a monument for the race and that lack of experienced help to build the monument led to贷 of credit in downtown banks and the frozen assets which formed many of the Service Company notes are provided to as contributory causes. When the Insurance Department of Georgia made an investigation, it demanded that the Standard make its company produce the Service company cash for the loans it had absorbed. Part of the money had gone for the insurance company Insurance Company. This they were not permitted to hold and it subsequently passed to the Southern Life Insurance Company, the same insurance company now is merged with Standard Life. Stock Exchanged In the meantime, many of the stockholders in Standard Life had exchanged their stock for stock in the Service Company, so that the company controlling majority in Standard stock. A hurried effort was made to liquidate Service holdings, Prodigious sacrifices were made, and in the process the stock, a majority, were put up in the Southeastern Trust of Atlanta, as security for enough money to satisfy the Insurance Department of the State. Heavy commissions and loans ran this up to $400,000. Couldn't Raise Money Service was unable to raise the money. Therefore, the majority of stockholders represented now by the Southeastern Trust voted the merger. Those who have studied the law of stockholders who will get stock in the new company will have their investments protected. Of course, the policy holders are fully protected. Full details of the manner in which the program will be worked out are to be made public at an early date.

All Races Should Change Pulpits Washington, D. C.—If denominational hatred exists in the United States, it can be a problem for nominations so little about each other, the pastor of All Souls Church, white, told his congregation Sunday, "I should like to see a black man in the white pulpits and a white man in the black pulpits and a tastle and Catholics should interchange to free the world of relics, and if something like that thing would be if you all would visit some other church next Sunday?" The pastor advised this to mean that the church only under the condition that someone else took their The text for this week was suggested by the Rev. D. G. Mack, pastor of Macedonia Baptist Church. The text for next week will be given by the Rev. S. A. Virgil, pastor M. Zion M. E. Church. CHURCHES WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT RELIGION SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS—believe in Heaven and Hell and final judgment. They baptize by immersion in the Lord's Supper. Saturday is observed as the Sabbath. One-tenth of all their earnings must be given to the Churchs are served by local officers who need not be ordained ministers. NO PARDONS NOR PAROLES IN HELL, SAYS ADVENTIST The Rev. M. S. Banfield Discusses The Meaning of The Mellicum That there is no probation or parole from hell and the consequences of sin, was the outstanding statement in a session of the Rev. M. S. Banfield, pastor of the Seventh Day Adventist Church. In part the Reverend said: "That no second probation ever will be given to earthbound millennium the entire earth will be desolate with neither man or animal life upon it, and every city broken down, and that those who look for a thousand years of peace, happiness, safety and joy in the earth in a false hope are evidence from the Scriptures. God. No Tyrant God is not a tyrant to demand the 'pound of flesh' - God would gave even the devil, if he could, but he would verted will be when he is converted into ashes. If men would let him, God would save everybody in the world. But if a man won't give up, God will verted will be in the New Jerusalem, and the environment would not help him a bit. Medical science tells us that where a contagious disease has been in the environment before the quarantine is lifted. The farmer gathers his corn into the barn, but there is nothing he can do with all the weeds and trash in the barn. God will verted just so, in the last day, there is nothing God can do but make a big bonfire, and, really, that is all God will do. The doctrine of eternal torment is absolutely false and has no foundation whatever in Scripture. The Bible says, 'the elements shall melt the earth, the earth also, and the works that are therein shall be burned up:' The Millennium The word 'millionium' is not to be found in the Bible, but it comes from the word 'thousand years'. The expression 'thousand years' is found in the Bible ten times, all of which are in the book of Acts. The thousand years begin with the first resurrection, which takes place at the coming of Christ. At that time, Jesus is to be with Christ, as we clearly are told in first Thessalonians 4: 13-18. One of the popular errors of the theologian is the difference what a pan believes, just so he is sincerate. Another error is the popular idea of religious or not, but Jesus is to be somehow the public mind seems to be pretty well saturated with the idea that it is millionium is coming conceive to be a time of great peace, plenty and universal happiness. Some even say that the millionium is coming to be a time of God deliver us. If the devil has already been bound for 250 years or for any length of time, what will happen when he is let loose? No Second Chance Revelation 20: 2 tells us the devil will be bound during the millennium, or thousand years, but Jeremiah 4: 23-06 also describes the millennium as with no man upon it, the fruffel place a wilderness, and all the cities broken down. It is possible to bind a man with chains, and also with a man with a crown, and there will not be a man upon the earth. for Christ has taken His followers to be with Him and all the rest are dead. Satan will have none and it is in this sense that he is bound. Some people say they will take a chance on a second probation. Don't you do it! "Now is the accepted chance." Satan will not have there. There isn't going to be any second chance. And what would the whole world be like if every good man in it was taken out, and only the wicked left. No, friends. If you do not want to be a devil, you will never have another opportunity. DOESN'T TOUCH WINE EVEN AT COMMUNION New York—Extensive preparations were begun here Friday last for the orated Church Unity Movement in Harlem, on a gigantic scale. Prof. Nelson B. McGraw, of the orated Church Unity mond. Va., will be the New York head of the project, with offices on 128th street, over the Parish office of Solomon McGraw.

MORE LIBERIA Continued From Page One regarded to ethnological distribution, have this year been re-apportioned into their correct tribal groups, and have been given control for the right chief over the whole extent of his people, and to favour effective supervision by the Indian Government. Agriculture—The agricultural interests of Liberia have received numerous awards by the Government to the work of the Bureau of Agriculture in co-operative "Association." A tract of land has been granted near Johnsonville and two species of cotton seeds have been experimented with. Other products will be added in time. An agricultural fair in Monroe is scheduled for Government for December, 1925. Roads The construction of the Monrovia White Plains motor road. The White Plains-Carsbury road, improperly built sixteen years ago by the White Plains-Carsbury company, has been overhauld and made safer, especially around the curves, and has been laid leath road (about 100 miles), leading into the hinterland, is in building, and has been laid road, both these roads being in Montserrado County. The former is expected to be completed in 1828 or the early part of 1828. In Maryland County the construction of the Harper-Ucobdoo road (55 miles) is nearing completion. Ask For Another U. S. A. Officer Efforts are now being made for the remodeling of the militia system in modern basins. The Frontier Police Force is also effectively overhaired, and another special unit, the United States Army for training the officers. Education Education in Liberia is still largely in the hands of the missionaries, the number being only 22, and the enrollment only 74 pupils, as compared with the attendance at mission schools numbering 61. The President keenly deplores this state of things, and the need for a better education for sufficient appropriation to extend the operations of the Educational Department compulsory education is alienated from the work of the Legislature this year. Immigration The Marcus Garvey spectre being now completely excised from the public lease for the moment, rid of an insidious propaganda which presented great good relations with friendly neighbouring States. The President eminent and the following inclusive language—"The loud and boonous boast of America to the effect that they had obtained a firm foothold in Liberia, and that the Republic would be able to grant the grandiose schemes of their leader, finding their frustration, would be the Executive Government of Liberia to take such concrete and effective territorial neighbours and the world at large that Liberia was not in any way a movement, no matter from what sources arriving, which tends to insult racial feelings of hatred and ill will. "The history of Liberia is the histories along lines of peaceful endeavour, and this community, both by tradition and by considerations which tend to secure and strengthen national defence, progress, and stability that would be "Ulbertans, standing alone and fighting their own national battles in the face of overwhelmingly developed an enlarged political outlook and a national point of view. They fully realize and are conscious of their objective is towards nationalism, and not racism; the making of a national identity, and the empowerment, and united nation composed of nationality in Europe, and of even the descendants of the various black Americans of the United States of America has been the melting-pot from which has been the melting-pot from which also the melting-pot for the members of our racial group in America, the African, the Caucasian, the Lagos, and other parts of Africa, from which also will emulate a strong, vigorous, and united African-American, and other races towards none, but with love for all, contributing its quota towards the humanity, humanity. They can only to their unfortunate brethren, 'Leave, come over and join us. But in complicating peculiar problems, as we have sufficient of our own without new difficulties, we have assisted in assimilation and with a spirit of helpful, to teach as well as to learn, and not in an attitude of carping criticism of efforts at nation-building." The Firestone Rubber And Tire Co., Akron, O., U. S. A. This country had during the year submitted proposals to the Government to plant rubber plantations on an extensive scale. The President said: "For the Government must give liberal encouragement to foreign capital. Clease looking to the government for assistance in the shape of the development of our country. The assistance of the foreign government is needed in the development of our country. We need his assistance in the expansion of our commerce and trade, but also in the development enormous economic resources." DR.

Following description given them by Sutton, officers brought in Hirsch Marie Fischer, 117 N. Schroder, and received His Honor in the police station. "Is that the young woman?" asked the Magistrate. "That looks like her, but to tell you the truth, I did not take a good look at night," replied Sutton doubtfully. "Well, it serves you right," said Sutton. "I ought to nine you instead of the girl, but I will let you both go." Was His Unlucky Day "Judge, I sure am one unlucky child," said James Johnson, 333 S. street in the Eastern Police Station.

When we are about to disclose is the Ralph Matthews first and only official report of what transpired. The meeting was opened with a selection by the School Teachers' Quarterly committee our next, but we owe it all to WEST; so let the rest of the world go by." This was followed by a recitation entitled, "Why Supervisors leave home," taken from Russell's works. After this pleasing program the business of the evening was taken up. It was duly moved and seconded to the High School, then going to Washington that the New High School should be built there instead of at Carey and Baker streets. This was thought to be a virtual arena. Then, of course, a question area was got the children over there. One guy suggested hauling them in Fords but the others didn't want to make the youngsters suffer. A great scientist has said that the older a man gets the harder it is for him to learn. Acting on this, he said, "You should be taught in the Kindergarten and vice versa, so that when a man got old he would just have to learn his A B C's and it wouldn't tax him so. Another Disclosure of ignorance said that all men went to College for was to play Foot Ball and keep out when they only difference in them when they graduate is they stop playing Foot Ball. One Guek said that the children of today couldn't study their lessons for working cross word puzzles, he said, and that he was to make Puzzles a part of the curriculum and then they would never look at them. One Gink said that he didn't see any sense in going to School, said that he had studied Foreign Language, and that he learned Zoology by working in a Slaughter House, he mastered Theology by being the Sexton of a girl with a starron, being hit over the head with a rolling pin, he said Mathematics was only good for counting your money and he didn't have any of that. Another Gazabo said that a Correspondence School was a place for students to get board with the installation plan. The good thing about it was that if you didn't pay up they couldn't take it away from you. After these brilliant and inspiring speeches the meeting adjourned, having accomplished nothing; just knowing that the Board of Education we know of in this city.

He was not much of a jaunt to Maceio since he, in the past six months, had already walked all the way from Jacksonville, Florida, to the nation's capitol. He landed in this country a few months later, in which he and who were studying the effect of the Japanese beetle on fruit, but had to go to bed with a bad case of typhoid fever. While recovering in Frederick Hospital from July 6th to November 10th, Maceo claims that his boarding keepers, Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Rodgers, Greenwillow street, Jacksonville, all his effects, money and tennies. Broke, he started on foot for the north. Maceiell of tells of many fruitless efforts to work through Alabama. One white man asked him what kind of a Negro he was and when he replied, "West Indian," he was advised to move on to Alabama, where he worked through South Carolina and North Carolina and into Virginia. Just outside Richmond, near Petersburg, he met a couple of white men and then how was work in Richmond. They said, "Negroes in Richmond state are hard to work and be run into James Silver." He asked a woman near Frederickburg, Va., for a cup of coffee and she told him he looked too much like a black Jew and she was afraid of him. He reached Washington and then attempted to go on a ride with her. He instead.

It has to this point. "The prejudice against the mind bout seems to be dying out even as far as the New York State Boxing Commission is concerned." Chicago Flower, most emphatically colored, stopped Glovani Panica, white, and there was no rioting. On the same evening, Thomas Gibbons knocked in a crossroads, who was very colored, indeed, was no cause of assault and battery. "Larry Estridge, colored, met Paul Berlenbach, white, and the riot leader to do. One of these days the propriety of a match between Jack Dempsey and Harry Wills may be suggested, the Duke of Muhlenberg entering the ring to be shot at the first bright sunrise. "But if Wills were white, there is no question that a Dempsey-Wasp is encouraged by the Boxing Commission, but ordered some time ago." Tuesday, 5 P.
