(Afro-American Bureau) — Notwithstanding his characterization of the American occupation of Haiti as imperialistic, the Senate, Wednesday of last week, rejected the amendment of Senator William H. King, Democrat, of Utah, which provided that no part of the Navy Department appropriation should be used to keep or maintain any marines in the Haitian Republic. U. S. INTERVENTION JUSTIFIED Senator Tasker L. Oddie, Republican, of Nevada, replied. He sought to justify the intervention of the United States into the internal affairs of Haiti upon the ground that it was undertaken as a duty. In July, 1815, when the United States landed troops in Haiti, "the President of Haiti had been brutally murdered, his government overthrown and the steadying presence of a foreign military force was imperatively necessary," he said. After the Senate had voted to reject his amendment, Senator King grew acutely toward that body. "I shall not say the Senate is imperialistic. That would be unpalliatory. It might be untrue. I shall say, how important are the responsibilities that I think they fail to appreciate the great opportunity which we have in this particular instance to emphasize the high-purposes of this Government." BRUCE INTERRUPTS Senator Bruce, Democrat, of Maryland, asked him how many roads were in Hawaii when the American occupation took place. Senator Bruce conceded that "the roads were limited in number and that large sums have been expended since the Americans have been in control of Hawaii in the construction of the highway." Hereof he heretofore stated, the payment of these improvements must be made by the Haitian people. Senator Bruce again interrupted to ask another Senator King thought it better for Haitians to be free civilized. Senator King applied, he wanted Haitians both free and civilized. Uncle Sum, he said, has not been made policeman for the world, and an imposed civilization is often a superficial one. Haitians are not, in fact, civilized, how long it will take to civilize them? Shall we remain until they reach the standards prescribed by fastidious Americans?" 102 MARINES THERE Mr. King said there are now 1,300 Marines in Haiti. In the beginning there were several thousand there, and the resulting conflicts were the killing of three or four thousand of them. He added that the strong nation always had a population incapable of self-government as an excuse, to exploit it. He continued that, "I also concede that the Haitian rules were cruel and imposed upon the people unjust laws which deprived many of them of their liberty. But, conceding that the United States has no right to control the Haitian people by military force; or to set up a form of government in which our acts displeased; if they did not destroy.

The play opens with the arrival of a ship from Longford, spic and span, from London.

All postal employees, except presidential appointments, and contractors, are entitled to a medical accommodation was willful misconduct or intoxication.

C., (Afro Bureau)—Interest in the displacement of Harley V.

S. District Court. Is a human life worth no more than $1.000? Sergeant Edward C. Scanlon and Corporal J. H. Olexie, both white Maryland State Police officers convicted for killing death Omar Wesel, an innocent man, while searching for another man, were fired $500 and costs, by Chief Judge W. Mitchell Diggs, of the Upper Marsh Police Department. Immediately following the sentence Corporal Olexie paid his fine and walked out a free man, while Sergeant Sanlin, through his father, invented his intention of taking an appeal. HAD ASKED NEW TRIAL The abrupt ending of this case, which stirred Prince George's County to its depths and threatened for a year, affirmed the affair of State Police Deputy, the convicted men, and asked a new trial following their conviction in December, decided to submit their case to the judge, who found them guilty. Following a plea for lenency presided over by the judge, grudden, who had been retained for them by the State Police Department, States Attorney Allen Bowle, refused to make any comfort when asked by the judge. This was taken to mean by spectators that the States Attorney would not further push any effort to have more rights out. OFFICERS GROWING LAWLESS In handing down the sentence, Judge Diggs told Scanlon and Olexio that they had been grossly negligent and guilty of transgression of the law. Many officers, he said, seem to have that there are no laws which govern their actions. No matter what the judge said, the judge held, his position before the law was not different from that of the humblest citizen. The prosecutor upon them by the three presiding judges was read the man to be a fine of $500 and costs in each case. SHOT INCENTIVE MAN The shooting for which Olexio and Scanlon was convicted took place on a small village near Laurel. Four officers had gone there looking for William Brooks, alleged to have assaulted his wife earlier in the evening, home where they failed to find their man, they went to the home of Thomas Higgins, and while two officers were inside, Olexio and Scanlon stood Weems, making his way to his home in the village through a path which led up to the house where the officers were making their search, was suddenly stopped by Scanlon in plain clothes, who flashed a search light and commanded him to stop. Weems, in fright, ran and both men opened fire, one of the bullets striking the fleeing man in the back of the head and killing him instantly. FACTS WERE SUPPRESSED For more than two days the facts in the shooting were suppressed. State Automobile Commissioner Baughman refused to give out details of the killing and officers in the sub-station at Laurel told a reporter for the AFRO-AMERICAN that there was no report on file. At the trial which followed in December, an effort was made by Scanlon to prove that the fatal shot was fired by a mystery man from a point behind him, but this theory was riddled by the prosecution and the finding of the Judges was that Weems had been done to death by shots from the pistols of either Olexle or Scanlon. Both of them fired at the man. Just why the four officers were making the search at the home of Mrs. Wiggins was never revealed. William Brooks, the man for whom they were looking, made his escape and has never been caught.

Even when it was resumed in 15th Street, West side, there existed much excitement there among colored women some of whom were not kneeling in the streets.

C., Jan. 27—Nether poor officiating nor undue roughness accounted for the defeat of the Baltimore Athenians by the Alecs, District champions, by the score of 31-22, in the Sunday game here on January 18, says the Alec management. This denies was entered to The Afrostory on the game, in which poor refereeing was given as the cause of the Athenians defeat. The article also complained of roughness and criticised severely the officiating of "Mouse" Johnson, former Alec player, and Sam Lacey who alternated with him. It was a new basketball machine, says the Alec management, which faced the Athenians and came from behind to win. Henry Hill, who looks after the business end of the Alecs, pointed out that the acquisition of such players as Archie Berry, Harry Turner, "Chess" Anderson, former Armstrong High School players; Earl Frazier, of Howard; K. Trlggs, formerly of Lincoln and Albert Stewart, formerly of Union, has resulted in a basketball combination that is far superior to the Alecs of old. Furthermore, says Mr. Hill, the Alecs are ready to give the Athenians a return game at any time and on any regulation court with the best officials obtainable officiating. He says that they are perfectly willing to settle the argument on the basketball court. ANNOUNCEMENT Mr. Solomon V.

Negroes Not Eat In Race War By E. B. HENDERSON "What is the colored American thinking of big world affairs?" The government and the press indicate perturbation over the Japanese situation. Articles appear regularly burdened with probabilities of war and prospects of the outcome. It is presumed by many students of warfare that the following will happen: First, Japan will make war suddenly when she is ready. In one stroke, the Phillipines, Guam, and possibly Hawaii, will be forced to East seas with explosives. Keeping her major ships in home waters her fast cruisers, airplanes and submarines will be used to demoralize our shipping, make offenses, and would have offered 600 miles. A long war would be the prospect. England is by nature of things expected to demand this. Russia seeing her chance at world capitalism has of late been cultivating the friend- What will happen here? Steel and will mollify profiteers will again begin the harvest of gold. Swash-buckling desk warriors will be imply their stock armor. It is sea warfare and the armor of the best of generation will become fish caten carrion. And what will it all be about? A few hundred per cent Pacific Coast dwellers who love the Japanese when they serve them hired men and are bated for their bate in the capitalistic game, have propagated the country to such an extent that Congress passed a bill virtually declaring Japanese inferior and unassimilable and making cul immigration which considers insulting to their national and racial dignity. Essentially the problem is a color problem, an affair between nations based upon the idea of an inescapable difference between races. It is claimed that culture, education nor religion of any kind can make up *fog* these differences so as to make it possible for these colored and white people to be amicableness when in the same locality. In our country the race relations are fast approaching a crisis. Segregation, limitation of opportunities, better understanding, and absolute denial of participation in affairs of community or general government are creating a situation that will become unbearable in some places very soon. We are doing our best to do their bit in this direction. What are we going to do about it? Are we going to sit quietly by and ostrich-like see nothing but that the situation will right itself in the education and biding our time? Or is there anything in the situation that offers opportunity for us to establish more secure our children in the war meant more to us—had the 92nd Division been practically wiped out tion and dance were held in the honor of the Stissie and Blake company. The group also held a large amount of hospitality and are ever eager to put the things which are con- tained in the room to the test.

"Now it is possible for those who suffer from this dread disease to stop their day's activities," the W-II Formula "is the statement of one who has taken this new treatment. This famous Formula is bringing joyn new health and freedom from dread cataract to thousands of people where everything else had failed. "I want to say that my Catarach was abolished. "I say F. A. Stouffer. "Before I started taking the treatment, my nose was contended with a puff of hair. I had to up it I very well and my friends had to shout. I was continually and great embarrassment before people to say nothing of the constant suffering and misery. These troubles left me the first day after taking this remarkable new treatment and making complete and permanent. God bless you." This wonderful formula is prepared by one of the most famous anatomies in the world, and generally known as W-II Formula, is easily used at home, and is used in all ages. No matter how bad your condition, no matter for your age or occupation, you are suffering from cataracts, bronchial asthma, head lice, it. I am so confident that I offer to scrub your eyes for $3.50 treatment for only $1.55 on 15 days trial. If the room is not occupied, I will be placed in every way. It costs you nothing. Send no money—just $450 Ride. Kansas City, Mo. and the big treatment will be sent at once. See the instructions to the simple directions. If at the end of 15 days your cataracts are not ender, your money will be refunded without question. This offer is fully guaranteed so write today and give this remarkable Treat before Metz, find our homeland been rudely assailed so that horrors might have been within our sight and vision. I believe the American white people would, like unto the ancient Egyptians, have been less hard of heart. Even the Cracker, Irvin Cobb, was writing in the Lorimer workday after a visit to the 15th beginning in action on the front line that the Negro would receive greater privileges than ever before, but he could not forsee how little comparatively we were to suffer as a nation. In with the oncoming clouds, and the need of consolidating, every patriotic interest, it seems to me that the press and the press are more interested in for policies might begin to work upon the idea that to properly interest color stricken Americans in a campaign waged harder. Differences of races and God intended inferiority always of, some races, to demand-for loyal support in such a conflict some modicum of concession of citizenship rights we are To my mind it is going to be hard to get some of the people who are voteless, subject to lynching and assassination based upon color prejudice to rally wholeheartedly to a cause which is practically antagonistic to their best interests. If Japan can succeed in this world, it means that the color of a man's skin should not be a perpetual bar to his right to pursue happiness or become a Negro or colored American should know it is to his welfare that such should be. It is my opinion that what we get in the way of a successful as a man will offering but rather will be because of the development of crises and situations redolent with the possibilities of much good for us. I would like to see an avalanche of opinion pro and con in the colored press on the attitude of the race towards this international development. A misguided peculiar circumstance could make its proaganda-felt. PICKPOCKET IS-NABBED John Lloyde, 228 South Dallas Street, is being held for the notion of the theft of his wallet and common thief.

ETH EXTRACTED BY THE NERVE-BLOCKING METHOD yo so at nes n WHITE THEATRE EMPLOYEES FORCE ACTRESS TO CLOSE THE ROOSEVELT Jackson Warns Against Rush To California Film Studios For Work NO MULATTOES NEEDED Record Of Last Year Shows A story that originates, according to its date line, in Los Angeles, has been appearing under splash headlines in the wreckles headed "Great Demand For Colored Film Actors." The effect of this story is, to say the least, pernicious. In common with the rest of humanity, our young folks are "Move to Mad." It seems that all of them would like to appear in the movies. The offices of the trade journals have been pestered to death with inquiries about how to get into the film companies. Stories such as the one under discussion encourage these film struck ones to abandon less spectacular vocation, their schools and more jobs to seek the elusive fame so glibly promised by implication in that story. The story reports that 500 calls have been received at one office specializing in Negro talent in 1924. There is no doubt of the truth of that; but this office has on file the names of 67 file workers who are booked with reasonable steadiness from that same office. Lord knows how many more are registered in that same office, waiting to catch the crumbs—the atmosphere and mob scene jobs—mere days' work at long intervals. If that 67 worked absolutely equitably there would have been less than eight jobs each during the whole year. Had those same jobs been divided among the whole registered list, there would have been but little the employment for each. So do not worry about it. It is hard for white performers and much more so for Negroes, for the whites may find occasional work there; but the Negroes' usual avenues to work are filled with Japanese, Chinese and Another thing to keep in mind is the fact that when the film directors want Nargo types in the white comedy once the genuine article comes into its own. Where the lighter person happens to be acquainted with casting offices and if he is of the special type that can be adapted, he or she may work as a Mexican, East Indian, Carribean or of darker races. Even in this, if the parts are "Fat" with opportunities, the white artists have become so expert in the art of making of being given first choice at the work available. We share with the California artists the white pieces of pleasure in reporting progress for our folks in the Movies; but the burden of responsibility that must rest with some one for encouraging the thousands of being given first choice to chase a probable will-o-the-wisp prompts us to set warning signals.

One afternoon last week we had the pleasure of being shown some of the lady's skill and the impression she that will not soon be lost. Several landscapes were exhibited of rich coloring, exquisitely blended. The exterior of Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton, Virginia, was undoubtedly executed by one of superior artistic ability. The natural coloring of the house, grass and flowers seemed tasteful and the house pose of a portraits efforts I believe. Strips of it were fashioned into wreaths and festons, decorated and tastefully used to adorn frames of the house. Hamilton has also painted designs on furniture which would rank high in any exhibition of similar artistry. As a diversion for a number of years, Mrs. Hamilton colored photographs. The late Mrs. Booker Washington also spoke flatteringly of the skill of Mrs. Hamilton when attending a convention held here several years ago. The beautiful done, was shown on a window panel. The design was original and the lines were symmetrical. Indeed, the every detail of the interior arrangement of the artist bespoke the hand of the artist. Curiosity prompted the question, "Are you a native of the State?" Were you born in New York and moved to Maryland after her marriage to Mr. Benjamin Hamilton, one of Baltimore's most successful poultry farmers, who settled in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Latin strain evidently left his talent to the daughter. The older Hamilton also did adult painting. HAD FOUR HUBBIES JUST ONE WHITE (Courier News Service) Pittsburgh, Pa.—The Rev. W. August Pittburgh, pastor of Central Baptist, has separated from his wife, Edna Sines, a fourth wife, Ethel Sines, a fourth husband. One of the others had been white, a tall, fine looking with a high soprano voice that fitted her for the chair. She had publicly pledged her to go as a missionary to Africa the Lott Carey Convention workers. The Rev. Mr. Jones discovered his wife was formerly an Erna McLaren woman, a former New York man, a pastor in Cincinnati and another Pittburgh pastor who writes letters under his name.

Trouper Writes A letter was received in the Theatrical Department from Mr. Albert Spencer, Govans, Maryland, who takes to ask for failure to mention some of the activities begun by their activities in this state. Mr. Spencer says in part, "I speak of the performers in the APROCEMAN each week you have forgotten, and that they used to have on the road. I know you remember the 'Royal Dixie Show' that was run by Travis McCormick, the members of the company as sent by the art are: Miss Vattene Tucker, Mary Thornton, Ivory Hammond, Annie Jones, Hattie James, Sadie Burgess, Pearl Valhine, Joe Murray, Hill Hill, Travis Tucker, Edward Holmes, and Albert Spencer. Further, Mr. Spencer identifies the writer with the case, Mr. Tucker, wardrobe mistress and Albert Spencer, stage manager. Our correspondent adds that he felt that it was necessary to speak of peers in Baltimore's theatrical he should be recognized. Closing, Mr. Spencer does not seem very optimistic about the latter day professionals and feels that the oldimmers were The theatrical editor hopes that the publication of the foregoing names may make amends for the unintentional neglect of giving "honor where it is needed." We trust that this may "straighten us out" with the "old trumpeter."

GENT THE —TUESDAY ation of the Nation The Afro-American—South's Biggest and Best Weekly STRIKE HERE An act playing a local house last week understood that they would be cancelled after the Monday afternoon session. Each act on the bill was a member of the Union, and reported the matter to Union Travelling Deputy Eugene Hooten. The deputy was prepared to call them all out, but the step was unnecessary for the act we retained. Mr. Hooten told an AFRO representative that no financial loss would have been suffered by the acts closing, for he as the Union representative was responsible for them. Mr. Hooten stated further that it was the intention of the Union to deal squarely with all managers, but violation of the members' rights was an instance. Mr. Hooten is just reviving from an illness which confined him to the house for several days. "Dixie-Broadway Reported Closing It is probable that "Dixie-Broadway" may close after the Philadelphia engagement. Florence Mills may probably be featured in another cabaret show. At 25 percent interest in the production. Despite the excellent grosses in Chicago, New York and Baltimore, the company is said to be far away from operating expenses which were high. The overhead expenses parallel those of the "Chocolate Dandelion," who fail to take cakes with over-expenditure. "Shuffle along and better break the cost of production being minimum."

Percy Marmount and Vitagraph's production manager during the making of the film, were candid with the long sentence except for the fact that Santa Barbara is north of Los Angeles and it is not necessary to go to Santa Barbara. Marmount accompanied the company to Santa Barbara, where it was discovered that the manager of Stuart Blackton, director, immediately telephoned to the manager to get the suit to Santa Barbara in the shortest space of time, even to the extent of a Western Union messenger boy on his motorcycle managed to deliver the suit in two hours and 14 minutes of time, according to the Hotel Arlington in Santa Barbara.

REGENT Collins and Collins, who have appeared in this section several times this season open the duel this week. The captain, "Crown Star" several weeks ago, are in the "duce" position. Both acts have been previously reviewed. The Regent patrons awarded both a flat-track Crackshot and Hunter have returned to Baltimore and received an ovation at their entrance. The rookie, "Crown Star," got some slight change, but fortunately that eccentric song and dance closing has been retained and, of course, was a role very other than turn.

FILM CANCELLED Much regret was expressed by picture fans that Micheaux's "House Behind The Cedars" advertised to play the Regent this week has been held. Manager Hornstein displayed a contract for the two days showing which to have been given this week, but said as the film company had been paper in sufficient time in advance, that the play date would be postponed. "Madonna of the Streets," was substituted. Rev Bishoy, Lawrence Chesnault and Miss Shingizs Howard, head the cast. "The Son of Satan," by the same producer seems to have found much favor with the production company. The theatre will be the first local house to play the "House Behind the Cedars."

AVENUE Younger, See "Open All Night" PRESENTED BY ADOLPH KUHN AND JESSE L. LASY "OPEN ALL NIGHT" WITH VIOLA DANA JETTA GOUDAL ADOLPHE MENJOU RAYMOND GRIFFITH A Paramount Picture CHURCH ORGAN PANS RAMBLERS The "Southwestern Christian Advocate" takes a filing at NEG actors in its issue of January 22d. An editorial says, "Personally, they are not the only actors we might. We are convinced it is dangerous, doing violence to ethical idealism. And we believe the midnight trotie and dance to be one of the most deadly destructive social practices of modernity." "One degrading phase of this same practice is the popular midnight show staged by Negro theatricals for whites in the large towns and cities of the South, whose exhibitions of vulgarity and obscurity, too shocking to decent sensibilities to be described in these columns. We believe in the dramatic institute of Negro's his talents in this direction should be cultivated. It is destructive of racial self-respect and community respect for the Negro, when troops of Negroes consent, stage a tragedy in the manner of destruction of leavend of manners, nudness of dress, and shrenkness in smutty, suggestive language as a means of diversion and sport for another group. Lookers-on are themselves demoralized as truly as the Negro." "Let Negro actors look upon their profession as a dignified one. Their goal should be a contribution to the development of the artistic taste and culture of the Negro people themselves it should be discipline and development in the spirit and technique of artistic self-expression. Thus they contribute to race progress and to the claims and capacity of their race in the field of cultural advance. Otherwise they disgrace the race and multiply the number of handicaps they can impose in their effort to climb to the heights. "Midnight carcasses and dancing escapades are destroying their thousands nightly, and silently sapping the interest of public morals they should be outwhelmed." We have no quarrel with the writer of the above for his views of dancers getting so saddened that even they are beyond salvation and reform. We are 'obliged to question the gentleman's knowledge of midlife and his part of the South. Generalizations are unfair to the profession and Snap judgment an injustice. Nothing more shocking has come to light than the case given after 12, which we refuse to believe wicked. The stage is not going to drag the country to the demotion how wovens, but to the demotion how men, itself from within its ranks. Any concrete proof of the questions made by the writer will be welcomed. The primary to raise funds for desitute performers who were ill or who had died. The innovation was if memory serves, first introduced Flourey Miller at the Grand in Chicago. In late years "Shuffle Along" staged a weekly midnight performance which was largely attended for the first time. Baltimore there have been scarcely a dozen midnight shows given in the last 10 years. Far from being the disgrace of the city, the offenses have to have a hato of reverence about them, for the services of all the participants were free and the receipts were given to the browns. Whites do not attend Negro shows in Baltimore to any appreciable extent, but when they have, no violation of the rules, they are given. We trust the writer is misinformed. —THEATRICAL EDITOR GRANVILLE IN MEET New York.

THE PICTURE EVERY ONE SHOULD SEE AND ENJOY THIS PICTURE WILL LIVE WITH YOU FOREVER EASTERN LEADERS MEET TO DRAW UP 1925 SCHEDULE LEAGUE HEADS HOLD POW-WOW Eastern League Solons Meet In Philadelphia To Map Plans For Coming Season UMPIRES TO ROTATE Commission Sanctions Removal Of D. C. Potomacs To Wilmington Philadelphia, Pa.—The Commissioners of the Mutual Association of Eastern Colored Baseball Clubs gathered at the Y. M. C. A. 1734 Christian street, Saturday. The meeting was the first hold since the joint session of the two leagues in Chicago and was attended by a full quota of the governing body. The Washington Potomacs were represented by George W. Robinson. Brooklyn Royal Giants by Nat C. Strip, Bacharach Giants by Charles B. Johnson and William Weeks, Baltimore Black Sox by Charles T. Spcden, Cuban Stars by Alex Pompey. L. L. Hammond, Harris Giants by C. W. Strothers, and the Hilldale club by Edward Bolden. Seventy Game Schedule Chairman Bolden opened up the matter of drafting a schedule for the coming season. Since the task of effecting a balanced schedule for all league clubs, is one of the most weighty problems that the commissioners have to solve, it was deemed advisable to get an early start. Nat Strong, Jim Ed. Bolden will meet February 14th and tackle the job of drawing up a temporary schedule to be ratified at a later meeting of the Commission. Jim Ed. Bolden will meet 90 games schedule, the same as mapped out in 1924, but realizing the many unplayed games of last season left a bad taste in the mouths of fans in several cities. To end of effecting a better balanced schedule and the commissioners will insist that the clubs play out their allotted games, barring unavoidable conditions, but in no instance will the teams be between some of the clubs the past season be repeated. Better System in 1925 Of course, although the public has a perfect right to be exacting, they must also take into consideration the fact that the respective cities being a paying proposition, the owners can ill afford to pass up lucrative bookings to the respective clubs in their adjacent vicinity. However, with the experience of the past two seasons, the commissioners are intermittent in their budget for 125. Umpires to Rotate Another thing that the commissioners delved into that will go a long way toward gaining the confidence of the public, is the "umpire situation." Irrespective of how difficult it may be, the commissioner fair play his purposes are, he will invariably be dubbed a "homey" by the fans, if he is obliged to officiate game after game at the same park. The matter of securing an officiating corps is a matter we will beaken in earnest at the next meeting of the Commission. Potomacs in Wilmington The circuit for the coming season will be affected by the single change of the Washington Potomac movers moving to Mintington, Delaware, where the hustling owner, George Robinson, may make baseball history in the Blue Hen State. The direct management of Hammond Daniels, John Dykes, Charles Johnson and Wm. Weeks, about all that remains is a sensible corporation. At least the less than Atlantic City, which was one of the mistakes of the 1924 schedule, would ball is possible, are under consideration and if they materialize, will greatly aid in making the schedule conform to the traveling clubs and a single day per week at home. MORGAN GIRLS 17-8 DEFEAT oritas having the edge at the end of the first half by a 2 to 4 score. On one day there and began a game that took the college girls off their feet and at one time landed Miss Parker on her head with a thunder that fairly jumped up and with a dying tackle landed on the back of Miss Wharton and bore her to the floor. "Cuter" Brewer received the game and lost 10 pounds. The crowds packed along the side lines interfered with the movements of the players and handicaped the battle.

It was once said Kid McCoy used to bandage his hands with soft bandages in the ring and then sprinkle the bandages with talcum powder, the talcum powder being plaster of paris instead, the plaster setting as hard as a rock when a little water ran down the wrists into the hand. In the Carl Morris-Jim Flynn fight, it was rumored that a roll of tea was used to distract the fight, after the fight, and that it had been wrapped, around Flynn's left hand.

It was one of the easiest assignments in the game, had he season and at half time they were leading a 25 to 0 score. The Washington didn't seem to be acquainted with the fundraiser, the game, but before the game was over he acquired a lot of knowledge from Referee "Bil Hason." Several times, the game was delayed while he explained to explain some rule to the visitors. The game started at 10 p.m., and dragged through the two periods much to the discomfit of the fans. The crowd was big, the crowd in good spirits with his playing and the lard Ward for high prizes, both eagling six held goals and five free throws. It was score during the entire first half, the score being made by Cupid in the second frame, when he shot three in succession. Ellis, who substituted for Washington, was the next highest scoring for the In the preliminary the Red Circles were completely upset by the Yankees by the one-sided some of their players.

BEN TAYLOR SAYS "BACHARACHS HAD BEST TEAM" On Paper Bacharachs Had Best Club In Eastern Loop Most Players Were Stars, Which Goes To Show That Clubs With Many Stars, Does Not Mean A Winner But The Seashore May See A World Series Next Fall, Says Ben Taylor CONSULT DOCTOR FOR MEN Office Hours: 9 A. M. to 9 P. M. Daily A. M. to 2 P. M. Sundays BR BEN TAYLOR The Atlantic City Bacharach Giants had a club that I think should have finished better than fourth place. With the exception of third base, they could boast of one of the best infields in the league. They could also be good with the addition of George Shively they added to outfield that could measure up with the best, they were well supplied with good pitchers, in fact, before "Rays" Johnson's club in New York. I think they were on a with Hildale for pitchers. Good Hitters They also sported plenty of good blitters as you can see by the following: Lloyd, Lundy, and Andy Milton. Milton, and Andy "Frank" Cummings; the rest were the blitters and mixed in with so many good ones made it hard on opposing pitchers, the big queen with so many of them with John Brace, the greatest players the race has produced in the role of manager and second baseman, why did they finish at the bottom of the first round? I am going to tell why I think they did not make a more determined bid for the pennant, there were two reasons, and I think they could best keep each day; so they could give interest in the club. One of these reasons alone is enough to make any club a constant opponent with a whole club to be hopeless. Manager Hand/capped Maybe, if the players had known, or thought that peace was going to be declared between the World and Eastern Europe, they would have played differently. There are also other reasons for the players not showing interest in playing of which I will talk all of which go to show the task that fell on the shoulders of the manager. He was supposed to produce a game of obeying the rules placed in his way, and they were not of his making. Backstops. Fair Ernest Gatewood and William Jones were the catchers, and both are fairly good men. Gatewood is classed as a veteran, having been in harness about 10 years, and as a fainter hitter in the foot. He is the youngster, and showing improvement every year. He is one of the smallest catchers in the league, has a good arm and a fainter. He will probably be a string hitter for the coming season, rate them with only a fain catching staff. First Taken Care Of At first was "Frank Chance" Cummings, a very awkward and mediocre looking player, but in reality one of the best first basemen in league, with an unimaginable way of playing where the ball was going to be hit. I mean by that, he studied the opposing players and knew where they usually hit. Player 5 was playing out of his position after he had made some good play. I thought the same thing at first, but after watching him carefully I came to the conclusion that it was no luck. Player 5 was very tricky. He is not a great hitter, nor yet a natural hitter. His hitting has been acquired, I mean, by hard work and constant practice he has developed himself into a great pinch. He is also a very good hunter and fair base runner. 21 Years in Baseball John "Top" Lloyd, was manager and second baseman. If my memory serves me correctly, last season was his 11st year in the game, more than that, but nothing less. Lloyd is good doing everything in baseball, hitting, fielding, throwing and baserunning. He also has quite a number of hits, but was his first to play second, and he ranked with the best we have in that position. We all know that he was the greatest shortstop we have ever pro-duced. I think that was the equal of Hans Wagner, the old Pittsburgh National league star. Lloyd is still going good and looks like he has several good seasons left in that old frame. Lundy Plays Any Position Richard "Dick" Lundy, played shortstop, and is without doubt, the shortest player in the East. He is of the Lloyd type of player. He can do everything in baseball, hit, field, run and run bases. He is known for young, although he has seen about 10 years service in the big show. Role In the Infield The Bacharachis started the season with Reed an outfielder, at third, and the Bacharachis made an infielder out of an outfielder, consequently there was a good sized hole in the infield most of the season. John George was secured from Harrisburg late in the season and showed well in the remaining games, as a fair fielder but very weak at batting. He would be able to evade into a good third baseman, if they can keep him in the game regaining but because of the weak hitting he on the bench a great deal. Of the four leading clubs, I rank the Bacharachs infield second on account of the work of Cummings, Lloyd and Luny. Injuries Handicapped Outfield They started the season with Ramirez, the Cuban, in left, Chaney the American, in right, a really great outfield when right, but unfortunately two of them, Ramirez and White, and legs, and Mason was rendered outfield, and Ramirez was mid-season with a broken hand. Ramirez is a good outfielder and the average hitter, but because of the slowup on the bases a great deal. Call VErnon 6016 AYLOR S arachs Had In Eastern Loop Which Goes To Show That Does Not Mean A Winner y See A World Series vs Ben Taylor Chaney White is also a great outfielder and one of our best hitters, but suffered a very bad injury to his left shoulder and a game-ending injury the first few weeks. He later released to the Washington Potomacs, where he finished the season, his knee still bothered him, however, necessary to rest him up intervals. However, when he is right I consider him one of our greatest players, besides a great outfielder, the fastest busherruns in the league. Biggest Man in Baseball Charles "Corporal" Mason, sometimes called the Babe Ruth of the colored league, is one of the biggest in baseball. He has disappeared in the last two years to the front ranks as an outfielder and hitter. He also possesses one of the best arms ever seen on an outfielder. He is Shively, was secured from the Washington Potomics in mid-season. He is a veteran, having started at West Baden, Ind., under the late C. I. Taylor back in college in considered the fastest man in baseball, a great hitter and full fielder, and one of the best hunters and baserunners we have produced, and was a member of the A. B. Cs. of Indianapolis, 1914. In 1918 the outfield was Shively, left field; Charleston, center field; J. Lyons, right field. Declared by experts the greatest outfield in the league. Milton Lewis, a very good utility man, finishes what I think was the best hitting club in the league. He is also a big man and of the slugger type hatter. He plays any infield or outfield position well but is good as Mackey in that respect. Good Pitching Staff In Arthur "Rats" Henderson, John Hopson, Andrew "Stringbeans" Williams, H. Nuttall, Charles Evans, Roy "Dewberry" Henderson, Robert and Horton, Andrew "Stringbeans" Williams, a staff of pitchers that was hard to beat. Henderson, I think, is the best young pitcher in baseball. He has been a star ever seen, and blinding speed. It is an easy matter for him to strike out 12 to 15 men in an ordinary nine inning game. He is almost as good, with Hopson third. The veteran "Stringbeans" Williams, who was secured from the Potomacs, had a good season after joining the Giants, and must be rated fourth. "Bean" is a player with a second second to "Cyclone" Joe Williams. They are two of the oldest pitchers in the Eastern loop. Roberts, a veteran and Nuttal, a youngster, come next. Both are in the top 10. Best Club on Paper On paper the Bacharachs look to be the strongest in the league. They are the best team goes to show that the club with many stars does not have to win. The team is Mason in the outfield next season, with the addition of one high class catcher and with the return of Henderson, who may sea a second series.

His climb up the ladder of his profession is well deserved and has been won on sheer pitch. His aptitude for the boxing game, led him to seek harder opposition among the professionals and here too, he proved that he was able to cope with the best of his weight. His first fight was against Henry, who were won with ease and Henry was recognized by the matthomakers as a boxer of ability. He was pitted against such ringman as Battlefrico, a tried veteran, whom he battled to foot and nail Henry. He was Bell, one of the best featherweights in the East, was Wills' next opponent. The two boys fought so evenly that a winner could not be decided upon and they were matched to fight again. Henry fought Toose, a hard hitting Southern, to sleep in two rebounds. Bobby Dibbs and Earl Ione were others who felt the sting of his glove for the full count. Will has now gone to the boxing ring and will soon be a main attraction at the Commonwealth Club in New York City. OVERCOATS $3.00, $5.00, $7.00 Suits ------- $5.00 Pants ------- $1.50 401 N.

SHADE WEEKLY REVIEW --- Baltimore And Maryland Labor News The labor condition in Baltimore is still slightly below normal, with 40 percent of the City's Municipal Employment Bureau is placing between 40 and 50 men each day. These do not represent the natural result of labor turnover. Red caps at the Union Station report that there are few labor arrivals from southern points, and no workers in the work has begun during the week. Among new construction work to start soon, however, is announced a new building at the old-adman-Frielem Bottling Company. Catonville will begin soon a $25,000 Masonic temple. Bad weather in the Trans-Atlantic corridor has caused a slackening of imports, and this reflected itself in the falling off of the need for stevedores. An unusual number of intervals during the next week. Business News Colored business men of Baltimore report that business is normal for this season. The buying slump that generally follows the holiday season is quite disappeared. Some talk of organizing a co-operative grocery concern for city-wide distribution of provisions was heard in a movement has taken no definite turn. In the amusement world here business has been about normal for the week according to most man-made statistics, all of which report satisfactory attendances. Oyster Scare Throws Many Out Of Work The oyster scare that placed a ban on Maryland oysters in several sections had the effect of throwing thousands of oysters to the hands of employees of work along the oyster industry Bay on the Cheesapeake Bay. In Crissfield, especially, many colony deaths in the industry were thrown out of work when 75 percent of the plants, were forced to shut down temporarily. This condition is being remedied and it has been found that the scare was unfounded. Southern States Negro banks in Savannah, Memphis, Columbia, S.C., N. Nashville, Charleston, and Charleston, South Carolina, depend on Christmas funds and the development of the saving habit are pilling up large resources. An improvement in labor conditions come from this direction, however, on a large scale. In South Carolina, for instance, where at one time only individual farms owned by colored farmers than white, the condition is largely reversed. However, reported a tendency to more intensive and profitable farming duo to the work of educational agencies. This same conclusion was from North Carolina and Tennessee. General Condition The development of general business enterprise throughout the country is seemingly at a standstill, the recent development of Life Insurance Company, though partly offset by the unusually optimistic report of the North Carolina Mutual, is having a depressing effect in the sale of gen- Standard Life On the face of this transaction it would seem that there is a general merger of these two companies with a mixed board of directors. Mr. Herman, president of the Southern Life, is in possession of 1261 shares of the outstanding 2500 of Standard Life will leave little doubt as to where actual ownership will go. To go back a little, Mr. Herman Perry organized the Service Company, making it the owner of the 1261 shares. Mr. Herman then an internal borrowed $550,000 for the Service Company which it is stated, was used for the various realty and other investments made. The future of the Service Company to meet this loan put Mr. Herman, the largest creditor, in possession of the 1251 shares of Standard Life and then made him the con- But the actual impairment of the Standard is another story. In addition to the Service Company, Mr. Harris organized a fund in this company. In this company, as president of the Standard Life, he deposited $700,000 of the latter's funds. This money he in turn loaned to his own Service Company, and the Service Company crashed it carried with it the deposits of the Standard Life. Then entered the Insurance Commissioner, who called in the cash deposit, and the Service Company called on the Service Company and in this financial circle, Mr. Harris stepped in with his mortgage of $300,000 and as an alternative to foreclosure as of December 31, 2000, thedern was turned over to him and the actual value of Standard Life stock wiped out because of the failure of the Service Company and the Service Company restored its deposits about $400,000. The other most serious consequences of the merger will be the fact that Southern Life interests will be in control of the merger, and this effect will have on the disposition and use of the vast assets of the organization, whether it will be used to promote Negro business, or used mostly in purely financial matters. This misfortune to the outstanding business venture of the race will, no doubt, have a bad effect upon the sale of all securities handled by the company. It has, the fate of the Mississippi concern and the many financial failures coming to institutions of this kind during the last few years, outstanding business leaders could not head off this disaster will probably have the double effect of stimulating a sounder business, policy and contact and discourage the one-man control of large public con- TEAM" and Industry Labor and Business William N. Jones RUSSELL SAGE REPORTS ILLS OF EMPLOYMENT Colored Workers Get Raw Deal From Industry And Employment Offices. Nation-wide System of Free Public Employment Offices Recommended. New York City, N. Y. A report which points the way to greater employment opportunities for colored people, which throws light on their difficulties in securing jobs, and which suggests possible means of lessening these difficulties has just been issued by the Russell Sage Foundation under the title "Public Employment Offices — Their Purpose, Structure, and Methods." While the study on which this report is based was not continued to the employment problems of any one race, there is much of interest to students of race relations in the findings and recommendations of the Foundation with respect to employment problems affecting the country generally, and an entire chapter in the study with respect to the problems of colored workers. Free Public Employment Offices The report recommends the establishment of a nation-wide system of free public employment offices, to be operated jointly by the Federal, State, and local governments, with the state government as the primary authority. In the section discussing the management of local employment offices, the point is made that pleasant work for colored workers best be performed on their own race. The Foundation's investigators studied employment conditions in north and in the south, in cities and in agricultural sections throughout the country. They find that race prejudice is limiting very much the opportunities open to colored citizens in the country, actively recently almost the only lines of work to which they were admitted have been farm and plantation labor, personal service, and common labor. Should Increase Range This range of employment should and can be greatly increased through intelligent and persistent educational work among employers as to the suitability of colored workers for certain other kinds of work, together with discriminating placement. "If a colored man with good training and ability is held down to a common laborer's job because of his economic advantage, the municipal all suffer an economic loss," says the report. Migration Restricted The report declares that southern states, in an effort to restrict the emigration of colored labor to the north, are through legislation and license fees making it increasingly difficult, and in some states imposes labor restrictions on workers out of the state. There are numerous instances, also, says the report, of the efforts of citizens to protect themselves from people for work in other localities or states, some of these even going so far as threats of violence to the recruiting agent, can be removed through intelligent operation of public employment bureaues, whose object is adjustment, not more shifting, when and when, to place workers as near home as possible. Referring to migrator labor in the colored race, the report says: Homes Uprooted "The transfer from one section of the country to another of workers in increasing numbers is an uproaching of home and community relationships that must be leaked upon with concern. In the park we have worked closely about shipping men from one part of the country to another, as though the desirability of shipment from an industrial and social point of view. That race prejudice has handicapped the colored worker by limiting his choice of occupation is recognized by the Foundation's staff. This prejudice is reducing this race prejudice," says the report, "is knowledge of the facts regarding the requirements of particular individuals. When the specific qualifications of a worker are known—what he can do and how well he can do it—is possible for him to be recommended for a particular job. Education of Employees What is needed is intelligent and persistent educational work among employers as in the suitability of colored wapping into their kind of work—many more kinds than have heretofore been acknowledged—and their capacity or discharge of responsible duties not only to advantage of employer and workman but also to the advantage of the community as a whole, and of the employers.

STREET 33 Years Experience MANY "TRIAL" MARRIAGES NOW SAYS ATTORNEY Lawyer Says Many Grow Tired And Give Up One Out Of Every Six Couples Who Marry Here Wind Up In Divorce Court During the year, 1924, there were 1534 marriage licenses issued here in Baltimore. If the divorce figures prevalent here during the last two years may serve as a barometer, 238 of these couples will end up in the There may be more, for according to Roy S. Bond, leading divorce lawyer here, the number of divorces is increasing rather than diminishing. "Frelol" Marriages "After talking to hundreds of couples whose marriage barks have run upon the reefs, I have the courage to tell you young women I have truly taken each other on trial and when things do not go as expected are ready at once for a way, there, there, who start it out but when the real test of devotion comes, the hardships and hills, the sacrifices and privations, they give up," said At- torney. In a large number of cases the couple come into the office together, each one either blaming the other or showing that both have grown restless under the burden that must naturally come to the young couple. Most Cases Under 30 Years The majority of cases that come into the divorce court are young couples under 20 years old. Although they are many cases of older people and many cases where they are well on into life, is the younger marriage, are more and more up. When 10 years of married life, unless there is an actual desertion, they generally stick together. A factor in the permanency of the young marriage is the coming of children. Children to keep people together and most of the cases come into the courts without cases. 258 Cases This Year There were 356 divorces granted here in Baltimore city, colored people the past year, and 100 more along with the number of separations arising into the domestic relations court that will probably form the basis for more divorces. When they are sent to the place more restless around the divorce laws, Atty. Bond replied that they were now about as good as they were. We make them more to effect reconciling, most cases coming to us, he said, "but when the slender thread stretches and breezes salvation to elicit them, is the divorce court and a possibility of settling all over again."

IF WE WERE FREE BY ROGER DIDIER (For The A. N. P.) A Chicago newspaper some months ago published a history of a Negro man who had filed his name as a candidate for president of the United States. One of the paper's subscripts was a protest remonstrating against such ludicrous faunting of the inane vanity of an individual who had himself as a presidential possibility was preposterous. Out of the question, despite our comforting belief itself, that, as a Negro man, would do so infinitely better and with more humanity than the white man. —that there were ten Negroes to every white American and Kelly Miller was president of the Black Folk then like they fear us now in the South? Would we lynch, rob cheat and disregard them? Would they be more likely to opportunity in their faces? Would we try to lock out from America, other white peoples, say for example, to get them out, would smoke better malcontents for policemen, than the native Negro race or stock? Would we try to get white Americans have treated the Japanese through the Exclusion Act? Of course, we would not. We would be just and without prejudice. E. I.

Some Condone, While Others Frown On "Hula" Dance Will Take France Years To Recover From War Although some condone, others frown upon the recent Washington review, where teachers took part with students in a charity affair some time ago. Miss Dorothy Craft, high school teacher, who participated in the affair, made the statement for this paper: "As far as I am concerned, the matter is closed. At one time I thought of making a statement, should, as nothing was done at the review that needed justification. The review took place soem time ago, and why in this case was it necessary to practice months for this review, which was given for charity and why will people ask us to do things after we try to do those things after we try to do those things? All of Washington saw the review and all commended us for our efforts to believe charity, to believe people, to believe people have just thought of criticising our efforts." Not Ragtime Songs Miss Constantia. Wharton, also a local teacher, made the following statement with reference to her part in the entertainment: "I have very little to say concerning the whole matter. But I will say that reference I have the phone used by my progs. Margaret Brown, "as ragtime" is misapplied. The songs used, 'Lindy Lou.'

And yet the war is still here. In America we have forgotten the war; we have laid by the uniforms and the guns; we have tempered our hatred of the German. But here France is still bitter. The streets are full of troopers on leave from the Ruhr, the small bodied Frenchman and the huge, well-proportioned blacks from the colonies in Africa. They are gay, these pollus, and their clothes are in good condition. Their officers are smart and oftimes fat. I am told there were none of these in war time. Yesterday we drove far into the country to the North and West. We saw where the American black troops had finally stopped the Germans, in sight of the towers of Paris. I had expected to find here great trench areas, and forests half blasted away, but it has been seven years now and land so close to Paris is far too valuable to be left in such condition.

Bishop's Cut-Rate Beauty Parlor and Doll Hospital Beautiful Colored Dolls and Doll Clothes for Sale STILL 5 MONTHS SCHOOL IN VA. By Wm. Anthony Acry Hampton, Va.—W. D. Gresham of Richmond, State Supervisor of Negro Education, spoke at a general assembly of Hampton Institute workers and students, which was held in Ogden Hall, on "Some Problems of Negro Education in Virginia." In 1920, according to Mr. Gresham, Virginia had approximately 223,000 colored children of school age (1 to 20 years.) Of this number there were enrolled in the public schools last year 157,413. The average attendance was 110,793, about 70 per cent. In Virginia there are 3572 colored teachers, of whom 3100 are women and only 472 are men. In Virginia there are 1945 school buildings for colored children, with 3514 rooms and an average of 44 pupils per room. There are still in Virginia 1272 one-teacher colored schools and 456 two-teacher schools. The movement is toward consolidating these small schools and building three, four, five and six-room schools. The average length of term in all colored schools is 144 days or seven and one-half months. There are no counties with a shorter term than 5 months and there are only two counties in the State where the term is just five months. GROWDS HEAR CARVER IN CAROLINA TOUR GROWDS HEAR CARVER IN CAROLINA TOUR Tuskegee Scientist Tells How to Make Products Out of Clay and Peanuts Greensboro, N. C.—Despite the heaviest rains that have ever been heard in this region, averaging 10 inches per year, Prof. George W. Carver, of Tuskegee, in his tour of the State. He spoke at Raleigh and here before at Carrollton, Negro Prisoners' Conference. "The South," said Prof. Carver, "is destined to become the richest section of the United States by realizing its undeveloped natural resources." He lifted up a lump of the red clay that has been making the lives of the prisoners better during the prolonged rainy spell and proceeded to tell the students what he saw in it—deep blue, gorgeous greens, marvelous yellows, brilliant reds and whites. He said, and it could be put to work to provide paints for the most particular landscape artist or the face of the fairest woman. He said, His work with the sweet potato has perhaps done more to make Prof. Carver famous than any other one of his endeavor into which he has played. He told the students that so far he has been able to obtain 113 different products from the yam, mangarins and mints to vinegar. He has caused the potato to yield several varieties of flour, a very good grade of meal, hake in dozen forms of breakfast food, coffee, instantaneous and food, paints, paints, paints and Vandykko browns, stock feed from the ends and peelings, stock feed, tapicera, sugar, starches, yams, flavoring for ice-freeze, molasses, rubber, ginger, ice, vinegar and the flour obtained from the potato. Prof. Carver told the students was in great demand during the war when there was a need for conserving wheate. Certain varieties of the potato were used by persons requiring special data. The flour obtained from the potato. Prof. Carver declared that he had perfected a crescent-peanut all emulsion which is very salutary in the treatment of persons with diseases, including consumption.

Colored members on board of State institutions where inmates are Liquor At Home strong as liquor is kept in the home, so long in the possession of youngsters at danceairs. The youngster knows it is wrong him to take liquor to a dance, but he is more unlawful for him to do that than to patronize bootleggers or operate an amusements that he is no more a lawbreaker than if the latter in a show down hasn't a leg in liquor is gotten out of the homes in schools it will not show up so plentifully in school boys at dances and parties.

She said it included Apache dance, the "Hula," or Hawaii have been executed by Miss Dorothy, C High School, Baltimore—ragtime songs and suggestive jokes by a comedian. He is no question in the minds of reflection or not, such a performance holds up to the guard of entertainment, aids teachers in act of children or their parents, or to amalgam with professional dignity. Nic sentiment can be relied upon to the superintendent Wilkinson failed. Dean S. Sessions for making the question an issue that in the future, Baltimore or Washington confine their exposition of the Hula dance where it belongs. As long as liquor is kept in the home, so long will it show up in the possession of youngsters at dances and other social affairs. The youngster knows it is wrong and unlawful for him to take liquor to a dance, but he reasons that it is no more unlawful for him to do that than it is for his father to patronize bootleggers or operate an illicit still. He argues that he is no more a lawbreaker than his "old man" and the latter in a show down hasn't a leg left to stand on. When liquor is gotten out of the homes in American communities it will not show up so plentifully in the possession of school boys at dances and parties. Responsibility for this thing may as well be placed right where it belongs—in the home—. There is the place to hunt for the explanation of the mystery as to how high school boys get their booze. Perhaps Garnet C. Wilkinson, Superintendent in charge of Washington Colored Schools is right in declaring that the question of teachers, students and professional entertainers appearing together on the stage in a charity benefit was outside his jurisdiction. Certainly his was the "safe" attitude to take unless he were to determine in the case at bar—namely the Polynanna Revue—who the teachers were, whether or not their contribution to the show outraged public decency, and to what extent the principle of academic freedom applies. Dean Lucy Slowe, of Howard University made a specific indictment of the revue. She said it included a cabaret scene, a Apache dance, the "Hula," or Hawaiian dance—said to have been executed by Miss Dorothy, Craft of the Douglass High School, Baltimore—ragtime songs by a child of eight, and suggestive jokes by a comedian. There is no question in the minds of reflective people, whether or not, such a performance holds up to children a high standard of entertainment, aids teachers in maintaining the respect of children or their parents, or to any degree is in keeping with professional dignity. Public sentiment can be relied upon to take action where Superintendent Wilkinson failed. Dean-Slowe merits congratulations for making the question an issue. It is safe to assert that in the future, Baltimore or Washington teachers will confine their exposition of the Hula dance to the family circle where it belongs.

Gibson been a rich man, he would have not get a fair and impartial trial in his home, a change of venue. The Senate last week refused to pass the King Amendment halting appropriation of funds for the continuance of the Haitian occupation. Apologists for the continued violation of the island's sovereignty included Senator Bruce (D.) Maryland, and Senator Tasker L. Oddie (R.) Nevada. Both argued that Haiti was poorly governed at the time of U. S. intervention, that violations were frequent then and that other nations might have interfered if we had not. Senator Bruce intimated that he preferred Haiti civilized to Haiti freed. Senator King, (R.) Utah, was more than a match for both of his opponents. He held and rightly, that we have no more business in Haiti than we have in Mexico; that Uncle Sam has never been designated a world policeman; and that these same arguments have been given in every case where a stronger nation desired to exploit a weaker one. This is at least the third congress in which Senator King has introduced his measure to withdraw troops from Haiti. But the moral sense of the Senate seems apparently dead to such matters concerning the rights of black men either at home or abroad. Ritchie Should Do His Duty Governor Ritchie should be urged by interested citizens to commute the sentence of Carroll Gibson, who is to be hanged here February 13 on the charge of rape, to life imprisonment on three grounds. 1. Gibson is but 19 years old—a mere youth—his mother believes him to be younger still. Sentences of two Chicago youths were made imprisonment instead of death on the same grounds. 2. Gibson claims, and this claim was never disproved, that he went to the woman's room at her request. The fact that he made no effort to escape after the alleged crime would substantiate this. 3. Alleged irregularities charged in the handling of the case, the speed and secrecy of the trial and the action of Gibson's own attorney who advised his client to make a "technical plea of guilty. Had Gibson beaten a rich man, he would have declared he could not get a fair and impartial trial in his home county, and secured a change of venue. What Price Justice fiction of two white policemen of killing a man in Prince George County follows $500 each and setting them at liberty out of the colored people of the state. A dead man was no criminal. To the co-abiding. Snooping thugs wearing the police, seeking the violator of some friend upon him in the dark on his way home in his startled flight. Isn't it a joke a hearty laugh, especially as the dead children. Only Prince George County has never seen so funny in a long time. And here's really as ludicrous—the dead man undoubly car for heaven, entered the special souls," and received a ticked marked "go." Conviction of two white policemen of killing an innocent colored man in Prince George County followed by fining them $600 each and setting them at liberty ought to give a laugh to the colored people of the state... The dead man was no criminal. To the contrary, he was law-abiding. Snooping thugs wearing the uniform of the State police, seeking the violator of some insignificant law, pounced upon him in the dark on his way home, and shot him down in his startled flight. Isn't it a joke. Doesn't it deserve a hearty laugh, especially as the dead man left wife and children. Certainly Prince George County has never had anything quite so funny in a long time. And here's something else equally, as ludicrous—the dead man undoubtedly took a jim-crow car for heaven, entered the special door "for colored souls," and received a ticked marked "good only in the gallows." SHALL TEACHERS DANCE THE "HULA" PUBLICLY? MISS LUCY SLOWE PUBLICITY DAY BY DAY WITH WILLIAM N. JONES In Herrin Close your eyes and imagine yourself in a movie, looking at a wild thriller. About a little village grim squinted, narrow jawed men and women move about with the lines written deep into their expressions. Then there is a close up and the officer of the law walks into a cigar store. This officer is the deputy attorney general, who had a long and dangerous fuel with a hooded band of hatred fed out laws calling themselves the Ku Klux Klan. Walking in another retreat you then see a gunman employed by the band of outlaws, awaiting a signal when he can catch that deputy sheerly uncompanied and shoot it out with him. He is a shot and the scene moves quickly to the cigar store. Knowing the day of fate, or one of them at least, has come, the deputy sheriff draws his guns for the fury and takes his position to do the The Klimans enter with his gang and the real shooting begins. Forty leaden pills of death bolch forth from automata accompanied by flashes. One, two and then three men crumple into a crumple in the movies, while grim partisans stand rigid outside to wait and count the score. This time three human beings have paid the price of organized attention to the most brutal animal instincts, of palpation of law desecration that reaches from the farther humble to the inner House and halls of Congress.

But he was This is the organization that kept Calvin Coolidge silent; this is the band of determined outweirs that succeeded in getting success; that elected governors of States, and that has invaded even the sanctuary of the church.

Afro Editorials In Book Form Fenton, Johnson, the poet, who wrote that "it is better to die than grow up and find out on the ground," penned by Dean Miller, a persuaded drunk with poetic fantasy, who, when sober, must apologize for the insult to God and to his race. The writer also wrote a problem, as Dr. Alain L. Looks declares in his foreword, lies in the application of reason. Dean Miller goes further. He intimates that the Negro blood is so diluted, that it cannot any longer be recognized.

The least that could be done, the greatest that the benefits derived from money so taken, Johns Hopkins fails to do this. An Artist Is Born Haywood Broun, the noted columnist of the New York-World, speaking at a meeting at the University of Sunday, had the audience to spend 30 seconds in silent hope that during that interval a great Nogret artist might be born. Mr. Broun in his address to that gathering which was held in the Salem M. E. Church, the new costly edifice recently accustomed to eclipse showing the first burst of light when the moon passed between the earth and the sun, and then the grandmother of the moon, the eclipse, be compared to the work of a great artist." The thing that has lifted all down trodden races of men such as the Negro race, has been his work, and with this Mr. Broun hold his 30 seconds of silent hope for the birth of such an artist. "scipat, at that very second among the thousands of new human beings brought into the world, Mr. Broun's silent hope was fulfilled.

The point is, in order not to miss that great artist, to help disgell the prejudice that casts its shadow like an eclipse before that. We cannot afford to neglect one human, being born then. It might be that artist. ```markdown ``` AMOS HOKUM SAYS A A good wife will forgive her husband for snoring provided he has no other very bad habits when he is awake.

Address all communications to George Wille Parker, 5423 Indiana, Chicago, Illinois. By the Associated Negro Press Who was the African woman nientioned in history as the ruler of the island of Rhodes? - F. D. Corinth, Folxo. She was a native of Argos in Greece and a descendant of Folxo. Was Tishkahan, the Gushite invader, of Judah, a negro? L. K. P., Cushito was a general term applied by the Jewish writer Elias Ethiopian. Tishkahkish was probably the same person as Teenchon, the Ethiopian stratego and the same as Tarakos, the Ethiopian king of Egypt whose name appears in the Bible. Was Caracallo, emperor of Rome, a full blooded Negro? F. W. W., No. His father, Septimus Severus, was a native of Africa and his father was a great and firm leader, but his successor was a tyrant and despot. He built the Caracallain baths which were one of the wonders of Rome. Who was Aisha and what part did she play in the life of Mohammed? B. B. L., Kepuk, Iowa. She was the third wife of Mohammed add the daughter of Abuhebri, the prophet, and Abubukka was a full blooded Negro and the first caliph after the death of Mohammed. Aisha was the first man to be exercised a great control over him until his death. Was Sappho a colored poesie?—Y. R. E. Ballentine, MD. And Sappho, colored and probably of medium brown color. In one of her fragments she writes, "To Leto's daughter, Ethiopia, was dedicated." Sappho, the daughter of Zeus, and by Zeus the mother of several children, among them Apollo, Diana and Ethiopia. Since 1971, Ethiopia has begun a very dark offspring, we surmise that Sappho must have been pretty much of the African descent to be dedicated to her. Who was El Tarik?—E. H. K. Molline, III. El Tarik was the (Moor) Negro who conquered Spain and after whom the rock of Gibbarian is named. Was the wife of Charles Summer a colored woman?—R. F. G., New York. When Charles Summer was in the United States senate, his enemies claimed that his wife of Negro was the true is true is a question, but her decidedly brunette type caused much gossip among social leaders. Summer never answered the question to any- Did Senator B. K. Bruce ever act in the capacity of President of the senate—W. P. J., Manneapolis, Minn. No. Bruce, like many other senators, did not chair of president of the senate and in that capacity one might say he performed the assigned task, since he served the duty of the latter to preside over the senate. Just who are the Nordies?—G. H. Bruce, Colo. A man must not only build his own character, but Oscar Banks says he must employ a night watchman to guard it. "Must be a gentleman farmer located nearby," he writes. "What makes you think that?" "I noticed that the last scarcrow we passed had golf togs on." A friend, who sticks when the letters don't come, when the visits fail and when the years write their story of long absences, is a real one. Every thing has its drawbacks. There were no children in the Garden of Eden. Beatrice Fairfax, who has been giving advice to the love sick in the newspapers in this country for many years is about to get married. Serves her right.

Kelly Miller Says Superior women, equally with superior men, should have the fullest opportunity to develop their higher capacities. I do not believe in the old Puritanic regime, for either sex, that wars against human nature. I take little stock in the derrogation of these degenerate days. I do not believe that the cut of hair or dress is a co-efficient of character, nor that girlish liveliness is inconsistent with womanly loveliness and worth. But I do believe with unshakable conviction, that our women are venturing too far from the four K's—Kinder Kuche, Kleider, Kirche. A Quaternity Of K's This formidable array—K. K. K. K—does not signify the fourth dimension of the Ku-Kux Klan as the cacophonous aggregation of K's might suggest, but rather an assemblage of the essential reasoning functions, according to the philosophy of the late Emperor of Ger- The deposed despot used to be fond of saying that women should confine her energies to "Kinder, Kuche, Kielder, Kirche," which being translated into English is "Children, Clothes and Clothes." The chief object of this proletarian policy was to produce soldiers to fight for the state and workers to feed the fighters. Under the stimulus of this idea the man multiplied his power till she became easily the first state in Europe. On the other hand, France has followed the will-w-o-the-wisp of the French in the way that her population to the verse of extermination. The rival countries contain about the same area. The early French, and prestige were in fa- France's Diminishing Population A hundred years ago she had more than twice the population of Germany. But to-day the population of Germany has been outstripped her sterile rival in population, but has surpassed her in every feature of material and substantial power. World War, France could no more have, stood alone against Germany than a plumpy would against a giant. Even to-day the population of Germany could master Gaule with one hand tled behind her back. This relative superlity is undoubtedly due to the comparative fecundity of the Biggest Problem The most fundamental problem before the human race to-day is the problem of the sexes. It transcends in importance the need for the capital and labor or the conflict of creeds. Historically, woman has been treated as the inferior and subordinated sex. Woman has been been used in the fashion uses of the more lordly male members of the species. She has been fondled as a toy, a tool or a plaything. Man has never taken her seriously as a competitor or a friend. In this progressive age the whole basis of sex relationship is being reformed. Women are asserting their claims as a co-equal with man, and are coming to a marriage he felt in industry, education and in politics. Woman's Place The biological function of the female is to bear and rear children, which, of effectively performed, needs language, language and language, the preening process. No scheme of philosophy or social reform can alter this basic responsibility impose by nature from the foundation of biology. The liberalization of woman must always be kept within the boundary fixed by nature. Tampering with the decrees of nature jeopardizes very continuous development of race, who stands elbowward the path of the advancement of woman may rightly be called a fossil or a moss back. One had just as well stand against the movie that I am watching, as to try to keep woman in her traditional and accustomed place. Indeed, a meran is risking his compresure and peace of mind and will discuss these things. I have laid this broad basis for a limited superstructure. Indeed, this is the penalty which I am constantly paying for being female. I am limited to a world mind limited to special racial environment. When I would essay a universal theme, I am soon reminded of the narrowness of its applica- And so I must not now discuss the subject of sex in its general bearing upon human welfare, but must limit it to the case of the Negro race just as the sex problem is the greatest question which engages the attention of mankind, so it is of paramount importance in the social community now under discussion. The Negro woman laborers under the double disadvantage of belonging to the white race, and weaker race. Her status and its betterment therefore form a problem of deepest social concern. Her progress has been slow, and she then measures from a starting point or by the high place which she has attained in our social scheme. Her movement along the line of general progressive movement that we have neglected the inquiry as to how her progress is essential function of motherhood. Whatever other attachment the sex may achieve, it will all prove to be a failure. The only way to spit it there is failure in this high and holy function. The time has come for direct relationship to direct relationship and to think soberly upon these things. Births Decreasing Several years ago, I undertook a study in eugenics, based on the work of the Howard University faculty. In the families from which these teachers were derived there were 65 children and 65 for each family. On the other hand these 55 teachers, so far have contributed 41 children for each potential family.

But e conviction, that our women the four K's—Kinder Kuche, two were married and 33 single. The number of children to each family, sp far formed, was 15. Four of the families were barren, and four had one child each. The average age of the single members was over 33 years, which clearly indicated that even if they should subsequently marry their offspring would be few. From a wide acquaintance with the students under a variety of circumstances and conditions, I am fully persuaded that the Howard University group is typical of the like element in the community in which identity is concerned. A study of the teachers in the public schools of Washington, the physician, lawyers and other groups would tell the same story story. The teachers in the public schools are mainly women who fail to marry for economic reasons. About 10 years ago the Washington school by which a female teacher might retain her position in the schools after marriage. Since that time a great many have availed themselves of the opportunity resulting from such mating is practically negligible. The city of Washington is filled with bachelors and old maids. The children of children astounding. One or two children constitute the average. I wish to call upon observers in other communities to look into local situations, and to examine the picture which I have painted of Washington does not also apply throughout the country. The cause is obvious. The prolonged period of marriage is the high standard of living which the forward looking Negro feels that he is forced to observe causes still further delay. The frantic endeavor to keep the pace set by the more rapid race militates to the end. Conscious Race The conscious purpose of race suicide also contributes somewhat to the low birth rate. There are many reasons for this. The responsibility of parenthood because they do not wish to bring Negro children into the world with the birthmark of proscription branded on their forehead and wielding a deadly which threatens the extinction of the advanced section of the race continue to operate in the future as at present. Or is it merely fire of the past? The race is a slave under the severe stress and strain of sudden readjustment? The sudden leap from the lower to the upper level of life is a social acrobatic feat that cannot be indefinitely sustained. It is being recruited from the bottom stratum which follows the unlicensed law of instinct. The vacuum in the upper stratum will be filled by the vigorous element push- The real danger lies in the fact that the self-destructive tendency will be handed down to the masses. Evil communication corrupts social practice as well as good practice. The authority has declared that the human race would speedily become extinct if all women should delay marriage until 28. It is not manly, Adam like, to place the blame on the woman. The male sets the social standard when he marries a family or no family at all is the prevailing social mode, it is because that the male prefers it so. The whole idea is bad. The male favors activities and gayeties of the hour tends to defeat the ultimate social aim. We should think in long units of time, and not give ourselves to the evanescent pleasures that are born and die in. The race should subject itself to serious self-examination. Are the present tendencies asking us to build on a foundation of sand? Are we preparing our girls for future motherhood or are we instructive flippappies? Are our high schools and colleges teaching them the things essential to home and family building? Whatever else a woman may imagine if it does not fit her for her essential function in the social scheme. Our newspapers are giving too much social expressiveness, gossip and scandal. The young people whose mind feeds on such things will have pooled their minds. The family is subtly undermined. The jazz manners, bobbed hair and bobbed dress of our young women do not promise serious future fami- Let me forewind myself. I believe in the enlargement of the woman's sphere.

They are matched by the average young woman with as little intelligent preparation. The following letters give frank, heart-to-heart statements on this life, the most vital factor in human existence. Here are married lives of two generations or three: not happy married lives but lives of poverty dread and suffering. Here are married lives of pluing their mothers out of the fullness of their own experience. Young girls, very young girls escape by living in homes where youths have created abject poverty, and where a worm-out, alluring mother is not able to take proper care of her big family. Youths have not occupied at all. They espelit that their themselves are doomed to lives of poverty and ill-heath, from the same cause as their mothers. They are that their children, too, will be neglected. While the law prevents birth control, there are measures easily explained by any family physician.

Presently Jimmy returned, looked our visitor over, and in spite of my frantic signals for him to hush, said to her: "You haven't got legs like a frog, have you, Mrs. —?" "Why I hope not," she replied, redening. "What makes you ask such a question?" "Well, my daddy just asked me if that old toad had gone home yet."

My father has always been a poor common laborer and couldn't make enough to take care of us properly. My mother knew nothing of the control. She acted narrowly to present having so many children, but everything failed her. We had to go hungry and ragged lots of times. I quit school and went to work out when I was fourteen years I wanted a better living and nicer clothes. I resolved when I was a girl that if there was any means of clothing I would not have more than two or three children, and I would raise them right. I would dress them reasonably nice and give them a good coat and have four children. I have a good husband but we are poor and have to work hard for every cent of rented farm and besides doing all my housework, washing, ironing, sewing and all, without help or a single modern convenience and taking care of my husband outside a good deal. I have to help milk cows, raise chickens, and calves, and help raise the children in the hay field all I can when I am not pregnant. When I have to do so many things outside of my housework I have to neglect my housework. I give the children we have a fair chance. We want to give them a good education if we possibly can, but I don't want any more to do right by the ones we already have. I was almost desperate when I became pregnant the last time. I worried all the time. I knew I would have to neglect the poor little thing when it came, because I have so much to do. But I wouldn't get rid of any anything that would worst sing there is. It is murder. But I do want to prevent conception. The AFRO gilds a price for every ticket. The AFRO gives it a price for every it finds good to print. Mottuto must not earn 15 more.

It takes the eye of an artist to know an orange-colored cushion and a bowl of yellow mastic-tones would brighten up the gloomest corner of the house. And then if you can go ahead and make the cushion and grow the mastic-tones in a window box you're not only an artist, but an economist besides. There's undoubtedly a lot for a girl to learn if she is going to keep her home the place of comfort and charm it can be. And it's ever so much better if she starts out knowing even half as much about the work ahead of her as her husband knows about his job of providing the money to keep the house going. We wouldn't think of leaving our house to a daughter's man who didn't have a job or weren't able to support a home of some sort, would we? Then why in the world don't we think more seriously of getting our daughters ready for the "real adventure," as well? Of the thousands of brides this year, not many are trained for their jobs. The bride who can beat up a panful of fluffy biscuits and ball in inch-thick steak is as rare as a white peacock—and worth her weight in platinum. Mother's don't trade their daughters for the work ahead of them as wives.

Since the first 18 months of your baby's life—most before he is born and 8 months will be comparatively free from danger. The health of mother and baby depends chiefly upon sufficient income and good health. In good conditions, good health and right living on the part of the parents, protection of the mother, health in-impact and breast feeding for the doctor should be consulted as soon as the mother thinks she is pregnant and is six months old. Sixth month and then every two weeks. Urinalysis should be made at every visit. The diet should be plain and wholesome, including fruit, fresh vegetables, meat, dairy, potatoes, bread, simple desserts and at least a pint of milk a day. Drink plenty of water, at least six glasses of water a day, and eat by ingesting foods such as rice and stewed fruits, cereals and whole grains. Do not use strong oath-antic medicines. Frequent bathing is especially important should be given to the teeth. Eight hours of sleep at night in a well lit room is necessary. A day will help the mother to keep well and strong. She should live out of her home and be able to exercise is necessary for good health. Simple housework is often beneficial. Lifting or straining should be avoided. Mothers should know that the baby needs a lot of other experience. Worry and nervous strain will lower the baby's vitality. During confinement the mother should have the best medical care available. She should be in bed at least ten days and as much longer as the doctor adjoices. Full rest is be undertaken for at least six weeks. Lace Curtains Dry Cleaned Call VErnon 6017 "By Sanction of Law" The tragedy of a Southern apathetic family which opposes marriage of their daughter to a col- gred man only to find out that it has colored blood. "Woman, you lie. You came here last time, you were the one to ask for the taunt him. If you heiked you off his place. You were wrong. You'd make me set these words. "You might kill me," Mrs. Gorton hurled back, "but you can't make me eat true words for you. You look at the Courthouse and look over the old records. You'll see where, in one branch of the family, way back, one member married with her, and raised a family perfectly respectable. An offshoot of that family came back years after to claim his part of the estate and one of that union came Park's father and out of that union came your father. Elvin and Linda. Put that in your pipe. Go see the records and believe." Wheled, with an oath on his line and went into the house. Mrs. Gorton continued: "Now, if you've murdered that boy and made off with his body I'll have the law on you all. Such a good manly boy. Much like my Ben. If you all have murdered that boy I'll bound you to jail." Despite her former dislikes for the woman, Lida could have hugged her for her interest in Bennet, and her disclosure. It relieved her of any reason for listening to the pleadings of her family. They were all of one blood. She cared not for mugging, such as the Lauriatus, hadorne. The statement of fact by Mrs. Gorton caused no change in her. She was tempted to take the old woman with her and Bennet was safe, but wisely held her counsel. As the old woman departed muttering threats against those who had made off with Bennet, and yapping against her, Bennet she gave vent to her feelings of joyfulness. Once alone she danced like a girl gone mad infermitively laughing and singing she must tell Bennet immediately. Scarcely could she control herself With her desire to give Bennet the news she could with difficulty wait late afternoon as she had promised. As she pondered over the new turn in her affairs she heard her brother raging in his room. Suddenly she held a loud alarm while he strode down the stairs and out to the stables. A short while later she heard him ride away. She gave him no further attention. The Brunner was safe. She reminded in her room for a time last her brother return. When he did not after an hour, she made preparations for going to Bennett. The sky had now become overcast, "it looks like rain and I fear our plans will be spoiled for tonight. Still she hurried toward the cave. Once there she peered into the room and Bennett watching her approach. When she had climbed to cave Bennett extended a hand to help her in. She was all smiles and gale with face, face. Before she had tried to recover her breath he said: "I've been thinking since you've been gone and have decided that I must love you. When I see me, when I've good news for you?" "Don't jest. Lidan. Heart. This is not a matter for诉求, Bennett said seriously. "All right, Old Grouch. I'll keep my 'good news,' then." she pouted, when he dying to tell you, too. "Well," he capitulated. "What's this great and good news?" "Guess," she teased, coming to where he was sitting and placing a hand condigningly on his shoulder. "I give up—Coudet gawks in a question." Lida waited for a few moments, hoping he would make an argument. When he continued to refuse she started: "My Gorton's been to the house this afternoon." Bennet perked up at the information. "I thought you were enemies," he observed. "She worried about you." She stared at him, she spied. "She came to inquire of Elvin, what had become of you and to threaten to make it hot for him and the rest of them if they have done away with you. You've won her favor, all right, but she won't, just for that," she teased. "She's a nice old lady," Bennet commented. "That isn't the best news, though; you now that makes me happier than I've ever been." "Ever?" he questioned as he placed a hand on hers resting on his shoulder. Both were looking out at the room, after pouring down in front of them. "Yes, ever." Lida continued. She bent over till her lips nearly touched his ear as she whispered. "She told me she colored blood in our family too." Bennet turned slowly to look at her, doubt showing in his face he usus. "There's colored blood in our family—in me too."

At this announcement she kissed his cheek tenderly, "And thats not that hard to hold in many of the families about here." Elvin is raging, "That can't be so," Bennet doubted. "Truly," Lida answered sagely, "She said the records are at the courthouse and would prove it." Many a family would be needed to hear the news." Bennet commented grily. Lida then recounted the events at the house, with her quizzes and the appearance of Mrs. Gorton while they were in the midst. "And after she told us, as I was waiting for time to come to you, Elvin saddled his horse and rode away with mudness," she included. As she ended she looked out among the trees then exclaimed: "Oh, dear, it's rainfall." Bennet came and stood beside the too bad—too bad," was all he said. "Now we can't get away tonight. It'll probably rain a couple of days." "You won't mind staying here?" she asked doubtfully. "You'll be visiting me, won't you?" "Certainly, Goosele," she twisted. "I must be getting back now before it gets dark." In a few moments she was gone alone. "I was alone." HAPER XXXI Upon Elvin Lauriston's hasty departure from home which Linda had John Marleys.

"What, tonight?" the astonished Marley asked. "Why, man, it's going to rain before morning." "What?" he asked. "Now he the first time you've been put in the rain before morning." "Yes, but what's the rush? Won't tomorrow do?" he parried. "No, tomorrow won't do. We've got to get there records first thing in the morning. Aunt Sally Gordon made some statements about my family that I want to look up. If they's not so, woman or no woman, she's there to me for them," explained Elain. "If you take my advice you'll not go digging into the past and let them rhyme rave. You've there's a chance that what she said might be true. She's wise old bird, she is," he advised. "What she said's not true and I prove it in my family, and if she's lied then she'll take back the words or take a beating," he threatened while his face sowled. He knew in this world a long time and may know a lot about us we don't ourselves. You can go looking in old sketches for sketches if you want but here's one that like that and let me know she was crazy and let me go at that. You know lots of our ancestors, mine and yours weren't all purists or saints for it. Marley advised again. "So or not so, I want to know," Elvin insisted. "Come on, saddle your horse and ride me. We'll get behind the midnight." "Well, if you must go, I suppose I might just as woll go with you," Marley笑道. "Suppose you find me and about it? You can't change the blood now. You'll best forget about it." he again exhorted. Elvin was obdurate, however, and it was not long before the two men and the courthouse. They reached the city an hour or so before midnight and, after seeing their mounts well ahead, they went to the Plantation for where they secured rooms for the night.

Elvin strobe to the clerk's smile followed by Marley. The clerk's dapper, little, quick-motioned men, the same time as they envisioned his hands like a country salesman. "Good morning, gentlemen," he his blandishishing greeting. "Can help you in any way?" he in explanation his errand. "You have the records of births, deaths and marriages?" he asked. The clerk bowed and smiled again. Oh, yes, he replied as if wowled. Elvin asked again. "Well, sir," the clerk smiled in gratitude. "We have the record of the whites us for back us in the blacks we are only of recent ones. The blacks marriages among blacks got but the attention from our fathers in the old days.

This the clerk approached and fawn a bunch of disused keys selected a long rusted one and inserted it into the lock. As the key created in the lock, the clerk opened more vernure feet could be fitted. The lock turned with difficulty. After several attempts the lock yielded and the knob turned. The child placed the keys in the yoke and yelled, enough stubbornly. As it opened the long ruined hinges squeaked so sharply as to make the spine twist nervously. A gust of sickening, vibrated musty air greeted the men, causing Elvin to breathe in spasms. "Wait a minute. Don't go in yet," the clerk cautioned. "Let the air clear first," he warned. Elvin and the others ought to be a ventilator here somewhere. to be a ventilator here somewhere. "If you can find that and it the air will soon be cleared so one can safety." After hunting for a moment, "Oh," he exclaimed. "Here it is." The ventilator proved to be a dawd just above the ground in the foundation. It had been neglected for many years, and of many years, had almost hidden in the clerk unlatched it and pushed it open. "Now, that's better," he exclaimed. "You gentlemen can now walk in," he said, he departed. "You will find the older records here, indicating the left hand corner of the room. From here they go forward to the later years in your life, and you will never have to presume you don't want those, do you?" "No, here's what we want." Explain it, as long as you win! The clerk invited. "When you close the doors. Everything will be all right." "Thank you. I don't know how to do it." Bella replied. Left to themselves the two men began their search. "What a dimal slickoning place." Elvin commented. Their off lamps gave a flickering light that made the scene appear some long faint glow. Raising the lamps above their heads the two men looked at the place. "Elvin, it gives me crazy to have come here. It gives me a creepy feeling—it's like uncovering some old dust and I could talk with a story they could tell." "They do tell stories." Elvin commented drily. "And I've come here to learn one of them—Let's we'll train them to tell stories we'll have start with my father's father." Here he reaches for one of the volumes.

N. P.)—Howard Smith, a father of a twin Oaks boy, some time ago accepted a mule as a gift from Ellis Dwyer, a farmer neighbor, but his father said he had enough stock and too big a family to feed, without adding the mule to the ration. Young Smith said he had enough stock and something that would not require food. He met a neighboring youngster and exchanged the animal for a top and a handful of marbles. This boy found the mule a rather expensive pet and effected a trade for a jack-knife. And nearly every day the mule was in the hands of a new owner. Of late nobody seemed to have been able to use the mule to be wandering about seeking shelter wherever possible. Agents of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals were notified, investigated and the exchanges of ownership were aired before a magistrate decided that either Dwyer or Smith were the owners of the mule, or neither were required to share in the costs of the case and instructed to have the mule killed.

Stop Night Coughing This Simple Way People who have persistent, annoying coughing spells at night, and who through loss of valuable sleep are weakening their systems and are suffering from infections, can stop their distressing trouble promptly by a very simple treatment. Hundreds who have hardly been able to rest at all for coughing, have gotten their sleep the very first time they rified it. The treatment is based on a remarkable prescription known as Dr. King's New Discovery for Cougain, which involves night before retiring and hold it in your throat for 15 or 26 seconds before swallowing it, without follow-up. The result has a double action. It not only soothes and heals soreness and irritation, but it quickly loosens and relaxes the muscles which are the direct cause of the coughing. The result is that you usually sleep as soundly as a babe the very first night, and the entire cough condition goes in a very short The prescription is highly recommended for coughs, chest colds, congestion and pneumonia, and is wonderful for children's coughs and spasmodic group—no harmful drugs. Economical, too, as the dose is only one teaspoonful, it is on sale at all good druggists. Ask for DR.

C. has, through the ElPaso Times of January 19, repudiated the actions of a preacher who, in order to gain funds from whites for "a home for charity patients of the race" has, in the opinion of the protestants, written articles which "are a detriment to self-respecting people." The public rebuke of the Rev. T. G. Cunnigham calls him one of the old time people with their "hats in their hands," and tells of the remark of a white man of El Paso who said, "I will not be the which the former said." Cunningham comes into our place, with his hat under his arm and wanting a quarter, that darker sure will go. The minister in the same issue of The Times answered those who criticized his actions by saying: "I want Negroes in separate schools and N. A. A. C. boys and girls. Gentlemen always pull off their hats in the presence of a lady or person of renown in Negro thego to a man's office and hat off. Gentlemen into a man's office should save Mickled off his head."

(By Mall) -The worst storm in history. On the ship W. Sampion Brooks, of Baltimore, and his party on board the Woerman line. Este, southbound from Hamburg, Germany to Monrovia, Li Bishop Brooks' party sailed from New York Thanksgiving day on the Hamburg-American Railroad at France, nine days later being forced to wait several days for a steamer which would take them to Africa. The Bishop had openly appealed to American people to let them know his plans for the next few years in Africa. However, he was so spent in body and clothing that all of this available energy was used up in working out small details in preparation to his arrival in Liberia on New Year's day. Describing the storm Bishop Brooks "We are now crossing the Bay of Biscay, and our skin, which seemed to be tense about on the ocean's billows as though the Almighty were bent on showing man his insignificance, but we are rising, lightning flashes across the sky, the waves pile high, and angry waters sweep our decks from stem to stem, we are sweeping up, unable to resist or make a move in its own defense, have I 20 years of travel over the seas, have I known such a terrible experience. I have seen many storms that threaten us, but ways they have spent their fury in a day or so. This storm has raged now for four days, and in the night we have been forfaited. But the God who divided the waters for the Israelites and the Savior, who forfaited us and we creep slowly forward into the face of the wind, very slowly indeed oftimes scarce, we forfaited our furious lesson, wonderful and terrible, as His lessons oftimes are: SCHOOL BOARD MAY PROBE HULA DANCE Colored Board Members Loth To Discuss Subject With Reporter WILKINSON SILENT Washington, D. C.—The controversy between Miss Lucy D. Slowe, Howard University dean of women, and Garnet C. ilkinson, assistant superintendent of public schools, in regard to public school teachers and normal school students sponsoring and participating in a revue, in which the hula-hula and Apache dances and a cabaret scene were featured, may not be aired at the meeting of the Board of Education next Wednesday afternoon. Colored Members Reluctant The three colored members of the board, Dr. J. Hayden Johnson and the Rev. F. I. A. Bennett, were unwilling to make any statements to the board to bring up the controversy in the next board meeting. Nevertheless, it was gleaned that they are reluctant to the next board meeting. At least one of the members takes the view that it would be better to settle the question quietly before forming a committee colored perilous would participate. His view is that such matters should not be brought to the consideration of white Notwithstanding this attitude on the part of the colored members of the board, there is a slight probation that such members may be invited for the adoption of a general policy for the District public school system. The controversy involves the question of whether educational policy for teachers and normal school students to appear in the revue type of show, especially with professional entertainers in the school system, is majority of the public school patrons supporting the contention of Dean Slowe_that participation in such shows by teachers is not in keeping with the dignity of the teaching profession. No Statement None of these members of the board of education make a make a face or her attitude on the merits of the controversy. "It is a serious question in my mind where the administration is under fire," said the FCC executive. "If the board should put himself on record. If I expressed my opinion in print, I would immediately put myself in the attitude of accepting with the school administration. The two other colored members would make no comment whatever. Mrs. Cook stated that at the present time she would rather not have anything to say. Asked whether or not she proposed a meeting, Mrs. Cook said the board meeting, she repeated that she had no comment to make at this time. Wilkinson Silent Assistant Superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson, who provoked the controversy by defending the subject of his book, *The Confession of the Men with him*, refused to make any reply to-day to the statement of Miss Slowe, in which she charged the author with a private discussion with him but twisted it into a criticism of the Pollyanna Club. Mr. Wilkinson was asked if he had been "absolutely none," was his reply. 7th ANNUAL OYSTER SUPPER Given by the Male Ushers Board of ST. JOHN A. M. E. CHURCH Lexington St. near Pina Wednesday e., Feb. 1, 1925 the smallness of man with all his boasts, the goodness of God with all his strength. They abate soon we shall come into the Canary Islands in a few days. Shortly after the first visit, they abate again in the field of Morovia, Liberia. At Morovia and to the North and to the South they abate the missions and at other schools, they are waiting with outstretched hands for that which they know the people, your messengers. And for those people I wish to thank their benefactors in America, those brothers of brooklyn, and sisters in darkness have contributed of their dollars, their clothes, their books, their sympathies, and their joy of giving to the worthy neighbor. That He may continue to bless you all and prosper you both temporally and spiritually, is our prayer. CAPETOWN, S. AFRICA WELCOMES BISHOP Bishop J. A. Gregg Succeeds Bishop W. T. Vernon There WELCOME BY FRIENDS Starts Immediate Plans For New Church To Replace Old One Capetown, S. Africa.—Bishop John A. Gregg, of the A. M. E. Church, assigned to the South African field, arrived here and was welcomed by old friends. He succeeds Bishop W. T. Vernon. Bishop Gregg is not altogether a stranger to South Africa. He came to Cape Town first in 1958 and then in 1962, three years in response to a request from the church in America asking for missionary volunteers for Africa. On returning to South Africa, he is affiliated and graduated at the State University in Kansas. In his class he was the only colored student out of an enrollment of 215. He has held the presidency of the oldest college for Negroes in the world. To Build Now Church The Bishop is keenly interested in sports and confessed that he was eagerly awaiting a cable telling him he would be the first man to game between his old university and their chief rivals. He is an enthusiast for church work, and am a long-time supporter of the building to tackle in Cape Town is the building of a large and better church for his congregation. "The present church is 1100," it is far too small and out-of-date, and we must have a new one. The Church in America will finance it, but I have no idea how much it will also do their bit to gather necessary funds. "I believe in work," declared the Bishop from England. "I will also do their bit to gather necessary funds." "I asked if I belonged to the sect which believed that Christ was coming back to this earth very soon and nothing else but praying. His coming. That's not my style however." McLean For Better Carolina Schools Raleigh, N. C.—In carrying out our scheme of education we cannot afford to neglect the educational welfare of the colored race, the minority and political status they must be regarded as special objects of our care and solitude, and foster the educational interests of every group of our citizens, because education after all is the foundation stone of all progress, and the only LAW ENFORCEMENT One of the most pressing problems confronting America today is the need to prevent the astounding increase in crime, and the general disrespect for law that seems to exist. It is interesting in this connection to observe that our system of criminal laws, and the basis upon which they are administered, are the same as exist- Inaugural address of Governor McLean.

ESTELLA TILGHMAN. 15,000 TREATED AT FREEDMAN'S Hospital Asks Nurses Home Associated Negro Press Washington, D. C. —Freedmen's Hospital has been operated on the past fiscal year, according to the annual report submitted to the Secretary of the Interior by the Surgeon in Chief today. Of the number treated, 4,183 were indoor patients and 10,984 were outdoor patients. Of the number treated, 112 patients were payable, 1494, including 172 births. were indigent residents of the States; 1572, including 131 births, were indigent residents of the District of Columbia. There were 2221 surgical operations performed. There were 156 cases of 156 anesthesia affe- cited. 1147 radiographs made and 200 x-ray treatments given. The report states that the one great and pressing need of the hospital is a larger home for nurses. The health and comfort of the nurses, as well as efficient services depend according to the report, on enlarging modeling the home for nurses' instant-one room are three nurses occupying one room hardly large enough for one, while others are crowded on the third floor of the main building. Additional space is also urgent to house the female internes, who are now required to lodge outside the building, and it is indicated that $50,000 will be required to remedy this bad condition. The record also states that the work of the training school has gone on steadily since the school graduated thirteen nurses on May 8, 1924, making a total of $32 holding diplomas therefrom. CITY GOVERNMENT COSTS $57 EACH That each of us should have paid $67.11 to support the Baltimore City Government in 1923, was made public in a report sent out last week from the Department of Commerce in Washington. This report gave the total expenses of the city government for that year at $44,178,680. It is objection, of course, that as a matter of fact, every individual paid exactly an amount of $67.11. Some large amounts of property pay more and some individuals who do not work or produce anything, of course, pay nothing. In the last analysis only the man or woman who actually produces something or toils in productive work, really pays taxes. Cards Of Thanks Mrs. Elizabeth Thomas is deeply grateful to friends for their extreme kindness during the illness of her husband and their expressions of sympathy at his death. I acknowledge my obligation to Rev. Clyde H. H. Hearn, the son of Mr. Zion M. E. Church, Captain Cresigler and company, the West End Pleasure Club, many relatives and friends, and the beautiful floral designs during my bereavement of my son, Charles Makel, who died suddenly January 18, 1926.

Hoffman street, in a dropped pocket trick that cost her $1000 This amount Mrs. Jones was persuaded to draw out of the State Central Bank to "make change" for a big split of more than one hundred men "showed" her a pocket book they picked up in front of her. Mrs. Jones' Story Mrs. Jones stated that she was walking in the neighborhood of Mr. Royal Avenue, when an unidentified woman and a pocket book dropped from the running board. One of two men walking in front of her picked it up when the other came up and demanded to see her. By this time the two men were in hearing distance of Mrs. Jones, and one of them remarked that he wanted half of the contents. The other man then asked, "Where did she here saw it too, and she will have to be in on the divvy?" Mrs. was brought in and when the pocket book was opened they showed her what purse he be about $2000 in and checks. But when they started to divide could not make their change. Here is where Mrs. Jones came. "She gave me her share, she could have $1000 in order to make proper change. She hurried to the State Central Bank, where it is said she has a nest egg saved from saving, and she knocked the money. "The men waited and when she hand- sealed the change" they made a pound and fed. Relieves Money Lost Mrs. Jones told a reporter for the "AFRO" that she was certain that "the white gentlemen in the car dropped the money," and that the roots found actual money and they just failed to divide with her. She has three children and has lived in Baltimore for most of her life. Just how much money she had in the bank Mrs. Jones refused to state, but her pass book showed a withdrawal from a Tuesday afternoon bank which it is believed the film flammers got. Captain Laster Gives Warning That clever crooks are back into the city bent on fleeing unsuspecting people, is the belief of Captain Laster. Some time ago this paper published a film flammers and this with the activity of the police department, drove them from the city. This type of crook is book here at the police department, citizens are warned to watch out for them. Any man who finds a pocket book containing more than $10 is not likely to share it with anyone. You can't get someone to watch out for the police Laster, and the Captain knows.

A. worker, which appended recently in a Metropolitan paper. In her story Dr. Brown advocated the use of short skirts from a health standpoint. Asked as to what they thought the following women gave to couples. Mr. Ernest Lyon: thinks the moderately short skirt, besides being sanitary, is very pretty. Mme. Mary E. Addison, milliner, says that a skirt worn just below the calf of the leg is more graceful—it must not be too short. Mme. W. Coleman, 2038 McCollish; says that a skirt worn by the person who wears it. They are only a matter of style, and the older women should not wear them too short. Dr. Weaver, of Weaver's Pharmacy, says: "Short skirts and bobbed Okleh, and a boon to our fair sex." Mr. Ralph Reseling, Glim St. I think, short skirts are wonderful not too short, though. Any woman GOOD MORNING JUDGE The A) Court Reporter. It will be Frank Summerville's move now that the Magistrate and Mrs Summerville both have given their final decision. Summerville, who lived at 1927 Division street, was hailed into court Friday on the charge of non-support held by his wife. "But, Your Honor, I don't make but $12 per week, walled the much shorter one. I don't care what you make you can take the choice of living on $2 per week or get yourself another job, or going to jail," was the final bad news that Summerville heard as the Judge called the next case. The Woman In The Case When two men are out looking for each other with a gun there is generally a woman in the case somewhere. This was the opinion of the Magistrate in the Northeastern Police Station, when Oliver Brown, 17$3 Dallas street, and Gordon Brown, 17$3 Dallas street, were arrested under those circumstances Wednesday. Heard and Seen In Baltimore Ralph Matthews memmies?" asked men had given According to the story told, Brown went to the home of Parker determent, a worldly career, but in the meantime Parker had the same idea. "Who is Julia Williams?" asked Parker, with both men had given a long discourse. "That's me, Judge," said the lady who bore that name as she began to speak. "I caused the trouble, You see, Judge, Brown and I used to live together, then Parker came and put Brown on the floor. I see," said the Judge, "the fault is Brown came back in the wrong way, so I am going to fine him $25." A sweet potato may seem an insignificant vegetable, but nevertheless, it was able to cause a lot of trouble down in South Baltimore Monday. According to testimony in the Southern Police Station, when Winton Littiker eight street down in South Baltimore, calmly cavalry a hot roasted sweet potato which the former had just laid down for a second, he became so influrtured that he just couldn't shake the knife. The result was that both landed in the Ostend street cooler. "Judge," said Littiker, "when your man was stealing a knife, a high sweet potato with the steam just slizzing it from which you see another man enjoying, it is enough to make you shoot at him." "And," said the Judge, "and when the States Attorney has his head set to try all big fellows who carry big guns I just can't help but send them to the Littiker was taken back while Short was dismissed." "Judge," said Edward Brown, 1119 Warner street, in the Southwestern POLICE Station Thursday, "that wom- men are coming around there."

"I only make $7 a day and I just didn't have the money to Well," said the Judge, "if you don't find the money mighty soon, I am going to find a whole, lot of spare time and I will let you have the money and behind the bars," he slowly added.

Mrs. Andrew Thompson, 1218 Drul Hill, says: "I heartily endorse short skirts for three reasons, namely: Sanitation, appearance, and economy.

Ralph Matthews For the benefit of those who don't know just what transpired in the celestial regions we will let loose some inside dope; the whole business is economical phenomenon whereby the intervention of the moon caused the observation of the light of the sun. In other words Sol and Luna were having a race to see which could pass the other first. One Guy thought that the world was coming to an end, so he went around and forgave all his enemies, this was a waste of time, however, for he went right back and fell out of the sky, knowing that nothing was going to happen. Another Gink, who was a night watchman, had just reached home when it began to get dark again, so he took the bed around and go back. His brother was more fortunate; he had just worked an hour when it got dark, so he quit, he came back when the sun came out and wanted his Babe to work for working eight days last week. While one family was leaning out the front window watching the sky, burglar stole everything out of the house except the window. The kids didn't see those was because the folks had them covered with smoke looking through them. The scientists say that the Eclipse only comes every hundred or so years, never that early, but that she had seen several of them. With all these Beauty Doctors and face lifting processes you can't tell how old they are. There were so many people wearing smoked gloves on the street that we were not sure they were having a Blind man's convention. One Guy said that since Moon Shine had become the National Beverage he had seen so many strange things in the air like things like Eclipse really didn't interest him. You couldn't expect a Guy to get any thrill out of looking up and just see the things he is seeing Dragons and Sempits floating around in the sky. If what the astronomers say is true, we will need more than a piece of smoked glass to see the next eclipse.

Call VErnon 6017 GS BY F 104 PERSONS KILLED IN ACCIDENTS Baltimore Safety Council Makes Public Record For Last Year DEATH FROM BURNS LEAD Auto Deaths, Falls And Drowning Also Take Big Human Toll According to an analysis made by John Truett, chairman of the Statistical Committee of the Baltimore Safety Council, out of 564 accidental fatalities in the city, 104 occurred to colo- red people last year. The principal causes of these deaths are as follows: Accidental Burns, 26. Accidental burns claimed the largest death toll of all causes, the total number of burns was 35 per cent of the total number of deaths from this cause. Automobiles killed 25 colored people, while drownings killed 10, and accidental drownings were 10, which is slightly over 25 per cent of the number which met death from this cause. The Baltimore Safety Council is bending its efforts toward decreasing accidental fatalities and injuries on our city streets, in the homes of our city residents, in our city. The exercising of a reasonable amount of care will, in the opinion of Henry F. Baker, general chairman of the Council, prevent 80 per cent of occurrences, which are usually classified as unavoidable accidents. It is the duty of the colored people of this community to inform constituents of the contributory causes of these accidents and to develop that attitude of mind which will safeguard them from personal injury, he declared.

David Barksdale Ends Conspicuous And Odd Career DEATH CAME SUDDENLY $1,400 In Cash And Checks Found In Pockets When Fatally Stricken He lived a mystery and he died a mystery. This is what people who knew him best said recently when the Rev. David Barskdale, 234 Stricker street, died suddenly on a short trip to Philadelphia. In many respects his death ended one of the oddest human chapters ever written here. For years the Rev. Barskdale has lived here in Baltimore in what some ministers of the more precautionary churches of little one-room cubicles over which he sided, would call "flowery: beds of case." He never had any congregation to speak of but he lived in luxurious always carried large sums of money. Of Healing Cult Except for the fact that the Rev. Mr. Barksdale belonged to the spiritualist cult that has grown to such large proportions here, his church was preached in many places, and in addition had numerous "clients," who looked to him regularly for advice. It is said that men and women from all over the world, many of the larger cities nearby, came to him for one purpose or another. He wore valuable jewelry at all times and police officers were always dying in condition in Philadelphia with so many valuables on his person. Recalls Mystery Suicide The death of the Rev. M. Brarkdale also recalls a still unsolved suicide which took place in his home several weeks ago. Charles Walker, a tenant in the home of the minnie, was killed with a smoking pistol in his inn. Rumors at the time coupled the Rev. M. Brarkdale's name with the wife of the dead man. The alleged illegal relations between the two men and Mrs. Walker were said to have been the cause of his killing himself. This the former denied when interviewed by a reporter for this paper, but admit that the young wife was still in his employ as housekeeper and secretary. Lawyer Seeks Wife A search is being made for Mr. Barksdale, who has been estranged from him for several years. Any acquaintance who is winding affairs of the parties will be allowed, although the separation has lashed over a long period of time, neither of the parties have secured a deal with Mr. Barksdale, and she will be given his belongings.
