Cops Arrest Automobilists Florida County Cops Arrest All Race Automobilists --- without even a chance of getting a hearing within a week. The speed cop is worse than the speed cop, so there you are. The country judge and speed cop must depend on those they visit, and they must not afford enough to keep up a typical Florida maze-back hog. You can readily see how profitable it is to have a speed cop. It is assured that the more-respectable they look the more impressive will be the degradation heaped up by them by the cop and the trail court. "Don't take a chance against a backwoods speed-cop" and court. "Don't leave your city unless you are certain you have enough gas to carry you to the next city. "Don't stop at the village filling station. "Don't buy sodas, cigars or lunches along the path of your trip.

Tenor Singer In the novel, the hero is Elisa Lee, a great tenor singer, whose appearance before the Lonely Island concert is hereinafter followed. "He bore himself loftily. The slow, measured stipes that he had been taught to make, added to his elegance in which his native prefections found no scope, became him will. The uninsightly hands were gloveed; only his black features and frizzed hair were visible as he stood before, the hushed audience, during the opening bars of the piano. He raised his head — the music that he held vibrated for an instant; and then from the nigger's mouth — out over the breathless stalls, mounting high and mounting higher to the ceiling, there seemed to float God's voice. - No. One Remembered. "And now 'nobody remembered that the features were black; and no man among-the thousands knew what message the voice was bringing, but I knew all there was a different message that the poet had never told: "Men tightened their lips to hide their tremors; the jewels on the chest were raised, the hot, tense crowd that strained over the topmost rallings, was heard the sobbing of a little child. "The music was lowered—his arms fastened and stilled curves to his sides, gave the faint glow of the moment's silence that was so sweet to, to him. He bowed, and drew a step back. The audience recovered itself; the thunders brooks, gave their men breasting their hands together from the roar recalled him again and again. He responded and retired." ATLANTA FAILS TO MAKE GARVEY BITTER INSIDE U. N. I. A. Head Not Downhearted Despite Varied Prison Humiliations Prejudice There Typical Of What South Shows Race Everywhere Atlanta, Ga. (Special)—United States penitentiary here has failed to make Marcus Garvey bitter. Garvey was sent here recently for five years for using the mails to defraud purchasers of $1,000,000 worth of stock in the Black Steamship Company. Upon reaching here Garvey was assigned to dishwashing, one of the most humiliating positions in the institution. He inmates refer to him now as "chauffeur of the dishwashing tub." Patiently Marcus Garvey bears it all, and few prisoners he appears for the least bit downhearted. They term him a fanatic and declare he says his movement will finally bear fruit. From a martyr, he is reported as saying to them. The Federal penitentiary here is the largest institution under the Department of Justice and prejudice here is one of what the South everywhere. For example, all garments are marked either "B" or "W." The "B" garments are given only to coloured people and the "W" garments to whites after they come in. The laundry room is used to clark anywhere, as a nurse, as a chauffeur, electrician, engineer or machinist. In the duck mill where 800 men are trained men are only permitted to do such work as cleaning, trucking and lifting. They are never permitted to touch a machine or motor. On the other hand men who are unable to speak English are taught to speak French, which are allens or radical rods who will be deported at the expiration of their sentences, but their skins are white and they never wear garments marked with a "B" and they are given the better position. Race Musicians Excel Another illustration of how prejudice "works can be shown in the equipment of the orchestra," one white and the other non-white. Instruments, music and an instructor are furnished for the white prison orchestra. They have three hours of practice daily: non-white prison orchestra must furnish its own instruments, pass the hat to purchase music and practice when they can. Despite this, the white orchestra is also prisoners of both races frequently leave the white orchestra to listen to the black when both are playing in the yard. EXKENTUCKY SENATOR URGES LYNCH LAW AFRO Bureau A Washington. D. C.-Former Senator. A Owley Stanley of Kentucky, made a freemised appeal to race prejudice and advocated lynching. He was a crowd of 8000 persons which crowded the Washington auditorium to hear the debate between him and Clarence Darrow, noted criminal lawyer, of Chicago, on Capital Plaza, just minutes of his speech of rebuttal, the former Senator pictured a white woman with hair disheveled, escaping from a black brute who had attempted to be killed in capturing him, taking him to the scene of his crime and killing him on the spot. He appealed to the audience again, both of the audience and on the ground of what "we of the South" would have to face if it were abolished.

Son a Poet The result of this inter-racial marriage is a son, David Lee, who lacks his father's vigor, but inherits his genius, becoming celebrated as a poet. The latter also falls in love with his sister, but he ends and resolves just to be friends with the sister of the one he loves.

Superstitious Richmond Halted Tearing Down Of Church --- Richmond, Va.—The Rev. W. A. Brown, new pastor of Sixth Mt. Zion Church here, solved the problem, of how to build a new church without downsizing. The Sixth Mt. Zion was built and made famous years ago by the late Rev. John Jasper; an illiterate preacher, who started the country by his wonderful sermons on "The Bope Move and the Earth Am Flat." In more recent years the church has outgrown the little building erected for them by the Rev. Mr. Jasper and accumulated a number of buildings. Here is where the trouble came. Some of the more superstitious members believe that the spirit of old John Jasper will rise out of them if they ever tear it down.

Benson, Insurance Commissioner, filed a petition in Baltimore Circuit Tuesday asking that the Southern Life Insurance Company be closed down. The bill sets out that while there has been no evidence of fraud—the Company has been so carelessly managed that its ability to meet its obligations has been impaired.

Franklin an old resident, Va.—Wm. Franklin died by the Klux Klan after Franklin chastised his daughter, who is said to be an incorrigible and stayed out late at night. The citizens are under the impression that there is something behind the action of the Klan. It is the consensus of opinion of many that some member of the order has been paying attention to Miss Franklin and that this is why she has been absent from home late at night. This is the first time the Klan has taken a step of this kind in this vicious attack at a loss to understand their action. Two Lose Jobs Frank Cloyd, who has been employed as a street cleaner in the city for the past 20 years, and Mad McCade, who has been working for the city a number of years, were fired from their jobs recently with out provocation.

"There should be no place in America for any subversive movement that would oppose it, against neighbor and fomenters bitterness and hatred often resulting in violence.

Thirty-eight states carried places on the Roll of Honor by being free from lynchings last year. Ten states—one more than last year—"bore the black thames of the city and though one more state had lynchings than in 1923, the number of mob murders was cut in half. Leaders point out, however, that four lynchings have been recorded so far in 1925, and that there must be increases effort to prevent governmental authorities against this type of lawlessness. Three New States Three new states appear on the roll of honor this year: Arkansas, Oklahoma and Virginia. The names of four states have been removed from the roll of honor with respect to the year. They are Illinois and Kentucky, which had been free from lynchings for two years, and South Carolina and Tennessee. The three states, according to officials of the Commission, that the abolition of lynching can be achieved. The number of victims of lynching in 1924 was 18, the lowest it has been kept, according to a statement in a pamphlet by Professor Monroe N. Work, of Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee, Alabama, soon to be published, the Commission on Race Rallies. Next Lowest. 38 The next lowest number," says the statement, "were in 1917, when the total number of victims was 33 and the total number of lynchings was 12. The highest number was 255 in 1892. In 1924, however, there were lynchings in 10 states as compared with such atrocities in 9 states in 1823. In the annual Honor Roll of states free from lynching in 1924 is as follows: States that have never had a record of a lynching: Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Vermont. Rhode Island and Vermont. Additional states that have no record of a lynching since 1892: Connecticut, Maine, New Jersey and New York. Additional states which have no record of a lynching during the past 120 years Indiana, Iowa, Maryland, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin Additional states which have no record of a lynching during the past 120 years Arizona, Colorado, New York, Montana, Nebraska, Washington Additional states which have no record of a lynching in the past 120 years Kansas, Minnesota, North Carolina, Ohio and W. Virginia Additional states which have no record of a lynching during 1954: Arkansas, Okin, and Virginia Additional states free from a lynching in 1924 Total states still having lynchings Additional states free from a lynching in 1923 "Last year a newspaper discussion arose over the question of what constitutes a lynching. The Federal Court ruled that, therefore, has studied carefully the whole question. The result of this inquiry is Prof. Work's pamphlet, which summarizes the definition of lynching and the definitions of the term in legislative enactments of the states that have passed anti-lynching laws and the term as formulated in the Dye Court. This pamphlet describes the congress. The pamphlet sums up the discussion of the definition as follows: "On the basis of the above understanding of what constitutions require practice in general of compilers of including records has not been to include in such records persons put to death in what are common in the United States, where the whole matter would appear to turn upon where one is to draw the line between riots, where there is the promiscuous killing of individuals where particular individuals are seized and put to death for alleged particular offenses." — "Batouala" Next Week Tuesday, 5 P.

The fire started on the ground floor in the trunk store of Morris Warner, who lives at No. 823 West 155th street. It spread rapidly to the stationery store of Harman. Before the fire, the fire was destroyed both in front of the building building; the fire had gotten such a headway that the tenement demolished before the last smoldering cinder had been extinguished. Louis Swyze, of the Consolidated Gas Company's Pulmocar Crew, rushed in to shut off the gas to make the work of the firemen safe, a few minutes later he collapsed. He died while his crew was working on him with the pulmocar. Carla Kelly, of the Fire Truck Company No. 30, backed his truck and ran an aerial ladder to the fifth floor window and brought down Mrs. Anna Kling, 73, her daughter. Mrs. Mary Adams, 50, and her granddaughter, Miss Winefred Adams, 18. Other tenants were rescued by means of the fire escapes and the shorter ladders. Mrs. Goneckey, a woman welching 250, had a narrow escape while she was being brought to safety via the ladder. A slip almost resulted in a fall for her The only casualty from burns was Snooks, a pet dog of one of the temnaries to the selfless man, been trapped. The alarm was sent in by a passing motorist, who blew his whistle and attracted Policemen Charles and Jason. The second alarm brought all of that section of Harlem to the scene. "Bataleau" Next week DAILIES RIDICULE LOUISIANA COURT'S DECISION New York—The residential segregation of whites and Negroes in New Orleans, recently affirmed by the United States Court, will be carried on appeal to the United States Supreme Court, it was announced today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the World War II World, a Democratic paper, and the Louisville Post, a white daily, have editorially ridiculated the Louisiana court's decision as being a direct violation of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution of the U. S. Supreme Court in the Louisville segregation case of 1917. It is the general feeling among those in New Orleans that the Louisiana Supreme Court, in remanding the case for retrial in the lower court is playing into the hands of those who wish to delay appeal to the U. S. Supreme Court and who believe by prolonging and increasing the cost of litigation. These people also hope that the U. S. Supreme Court will reverse its decision rendered in the Louisiana Segregation case of 1917. Dr. George W. Lucas, president of the New Orleans Branch of the N. A. C. P., writes that the colorado court should fight the case to the very end and "have yet enough on hand to take care of the situation." Dr. Lucas states that, "the best attorneys here are the lawyers (lawsman Supreme Court) in this case ridiculous." In a letter received at the national office of the N. A. C. P. on March 12.

Associated Negro Press New York, N. Y. - Neither the side of the students, or of the president at Fisk University is taken in an unacceptable outburst among the students there, appearing in the current issue of the Nation, a weekly published here, which refers to the so-called Fisk problem, as a significant as a revelation of a new self-respect and independence among American college students, white or black." The usual doolity of the American student makes his occasional revolts more interesting, and there is significant affective student strike so far occurred "in a university for Negro students." The side of the students is taken in following the following comprehensive paragraph: "President McKenzie apparently conducted Fisk as an old-fashioned, rigid-rided boarding school. Boys and girls could now enter the school; but the boys were not allowed to smoke and the girls were required to wear uniform black dresses and cotton stockings; all lights went out at 10:30; fraternities were not allowed to attend; student organizations discouraged. "But the interest in the Fisk story does not lie in such details. It lies in the larger meaning of the revolt. The students were obviously in tutelage, such rules seemed natural. The oncoming generation, black as well as white, will not tolerate such pithy dictation. Behind the rules, the simplicity, the economy, and simplicity, but simplicity can hardly take 'deep root' where it is made compulsory. "Discipline is worse than license if it is not properly longing for the things prohibited. The young Negro has come of age and has a new self-respect; he asks in his colleges the same kind of respect as he asks in place quietly in the white colleges." "Unfortunately the race question," so the Nation comments, "has become involved at Flak as well as that of the Nebraska white Nashville the student revolt is a Negro uprising. To black Nashville President McKenzie has become a symbol of white domination. He has been a major interstate good-will, to have lost contact with the race for which he was working and of Flak feel that to lose Nashville's money would mean less than for the university to lose its soul as an institution dedicated to the higher education of the Nebraska higher education requires a freedom in the way which Flick today seems to look." No Appeal Says Doorman Washington—According to Congressman Linnichum, white Democrat John Kasich, the U. S.

Detroit, Mich.—On the police force for quite a quarter of a century, Detective Sergeant Daniel O. Smith is regarded as the most efficient race man on the force. "That he has made good, according to his chief, Edward T. Fox white, is attested by his record which showed he has been commended 22 times in his writings. His first meritorious mention reads as follows: "December 22, 1902— "For courageous and effective work displayed in capturing Harry Depew and wounding his associate in the highway robbery of Edward Douglas. In performing his work, Smith was exposed to a fullside of hurls from the revolvers of both highwaymen." Caught Two Redhanded Three years later he captured two highwaymen with guns in their hands, and stopped a runaway. His citation read: "Reasonable and efficient work in arresting James Mather and George Kerwin in the act of robbing Wim. Cahill on the public highway at 3:15 a.m., 12-22-04. "For stopping the runaway horse belonging to Frederick Schultz." Quiet Ten Years For the next 10 years, 1905-15, things were quiet. Then suddenly Smith dived into the night by ur- nipersonal indifference and a horse thief one after another. The year 1917 was his memorable year he pulled in 16 robbers. In robbery he killed a man in a fight in three men, attho at the time he was unarmed. In another case he not only arrested two holdup men but secured their confession to a number of crimes and saw them con- victed. Sergeant Smith's record as a law enforcement officer is known outside of his home city. Throughout the war he worked as a police business and he is known as a race officer who is a credit to the Detroit police department. "Batutale!"

NO "JIM CROW" IN WASHINGTON HERALD Capital Daily's Managing Editor Is Speaker Before Muso-lit Club DISHONEST PAPERS SCORED No Punishment Too Bad For Editors Who Mislead The Public Washington, D. C. — In an address at the Mu-Su-Li-ta Club last Friday night, Avery C. Marks, Jr., managing the Mu-Su-Li-ta Club's publication, plhed himself never to take one step or allow anyone else to take a step that will promote pim-crowism as long as he is in charge of the other paper. The subject of his address was "News, and Their Relation to the Public and the Community." He said in part, "A Business Institution" "The subject is one in which the newspaper business that does not seem to get general recognition outside of our profession, and which furnishes the key to the inter-relationship between the professionals whom they in contact "The factor is this: A newspaper and must be, before anything else is done, thought in mind, when you attempt to analyze the attitude of newspapers toward certain problems you may find the answers to many seemingly mysterious puzzles. You must follow along the lines of other successful commercial institutions; it must conform to the laws of the market; it must do the manufacturers of other products. Whether one is selling newspaper or bans or automobiles or houses, the principle is the same. (1) Find out what wants; (2) Produce it; (3) Market it." "Any publication, unless endowed, which fails to conform to these rules, is a loss, and ultimately undermines publication." "Thousands of people enter the publication business with a single-minded purpose to accomplish a change, or to promote some other idea or group of ideas. People who appear to be otherwise same and sensible seem to get the idea that the publication is magazine and, there being a large number of persons interested in the project they have in mind, they think success is assured. I see a number of persons who go into the publication business with nothing but a high-minded ideal, there are more failures in the publication industry than in the advertising division reported to our government. Must Be Honest "Now, this is as it should be. 'To be financially solvent a newspaper must be honest, unbiased, independent, and trustworthy of its community. It must work for the good of the people of the city in order to have sufficient prestige to sit for making a publication self-supporting or profit-making, produces a situation that gives the public, honestly conducted, constructive organs work for the community." "There are papers that are maintained by certain interests, papers which do not necessarily have to show profits, they do not have to be published, and their activities are in contact with things relating to their 'angels' or backers, they are not honest. They form a means to their public affairs, they form a public forformed public, and a misinformed public in worse than even an ignorant public, in the light of national civic and political conditions, and the will of the whole people—is the determining factor in improvement of human conditions, and the man that poisones the public upon his behalf, and his country—is a cancer in the human body politic, and no punishment is equal to his crime. Race Publications "You have papers published for the consumption primarily of colored people. You read them, and you should. They are an age, and you should be a worth of the news of people of your race in greater detail than can be done by other papers, which print a great deal of additional news. You valuable—urge you to read them. As long as they remain honest and unbiased An their news columns, they contribute in no small degree to information, and they better inform you of their importance." The editor who allows personal bias, or race prejudice, or any other consideration to produce a tainted reality event, is infact injecting into you a poison that blinds your eyes, deafens your ears and breeds within you a twisted mental outlook that strikes a death blow to racial progress, racial hopes and racial aspirations. There are here but a few of these vipers left. But there still exists a few literary reptiles, pouring their toxins into the minds of men.

One of the interesting features of the advertisement is that the description of the shaves is given first, which indicates that they were more valuable at that time than land. It was signed by Moses P. Martin, administrator of Zachariah Martin, deceased, and James M. Martin, deceased, master. The part describing the shaves follows: "In pursuance of an order made at the December term, 1849, of chancery court at Somerville, Tenn., will sell at auction on the Public Square, in the town of Somerville, to the public, next all the slaves belonging to the estate of Zachariah Martin, deceased, viz: Hidden T in the H CATE OF SODA, when soap, is not visible—w the reason thousands of w undering what hurts and shortens the life o be in doubt?

The poster was found at Somerville in an old saloon building, which was being torn down for the erection of another building. William N. Norman, of whiteville, Tenn., attended this sale.

To many folks this may seem to be a trifling announcement of no more importance than a statement that 605,000 persons have the right, on one hand, to be treated by venereal disease. It brings a vision of miliary, of lost time and money, of an economic burden to workers and the nation, of the suffering of innocent women and children—all of which have been the accompaniments of syphilis and gonorrhea from time immemorial and held in the present day can be unquenched. But the knowledge of the cause, prevention and cure of venereal diseases. Although the absolute knowledge of syphilis as a distinct disease dates back to only 1494—when the satiators of Columbus brought the disease to Spain from Haiti, and when the armies of Charles VIII of France and Emperor Louis IX of France disease through Italy—there is evidence extending to show that syphilis has existed ever since cities were first built and popped. In the poems and writings of the ancients mention is made of communicating a loathsome disease by kissing, as well as by other relations between sexes. Emperor Ho-Ang-Ti, who ruled China more than 4,500 years ago, caused the loathsome disease of that day to be collected into a single work, and in that work can be described of gonorrhea, as well as of a disease similar to syphilis. Down through the ages venerable diseases have come. They have been nursed by immorality, by ignorance, and by a false idea that they were visited upon sinners—an idea that ignores the innocent infection. In secret, and therefore unchecked by medical science, these plagues ran their full courses, leaving death, insanity, loathsome sores, paralysis, painracked wives, stillborn children, and untold misery and suffering in their lives. It has been said that in Russia today there are communities in which 90 per cent of the people are infected with venerable disease. From Canada comes the report that $1,331 citizens of that country—men, women, and children, many of them inimical—were reported as new cases in the last weeks; and these are said to be only a fraction of the actual existing cases. In the United States the figures for the last fiscal year show an increase in 332 cases of venera disease over the 332 cases of venera disease over the previous year; but the increase in this country may be laid to better reporting of cases rather than to spreading infection. As late as the past 313 there were 326 more deaths in the islands. The Hawaiian National Government and its board of health accounted for this situation in these words: "Syphilis may be considered an important cause of depopulation." Such a statement needs no comment. In discussing the distribution of vascular diseases in the United States it is necessary to remember that although 363,000 cases were reported to the various State boards of health last year, there undoubtedly were instances which escaped discovery or which were not listed with the State authorities as 1915. Order estimated that syphilis (including stillbirths, deaths of infants under one month, and other phyllitic conditions) took 60,000 lives in one year. This was a number sufficient to place it at the top of the infections—a leadership of 4,807 cases may still hold. Out of 4,807 cases of infectious diseases in New York City in September of last year, 1,629 were cases of vascular disease, while tuberculosis claimed but 820. Syphilis and gonorrhea, therefore, were responsible for 24 per cent of the total number of infectious cases. Among the Negroes the rate of vascular disease infection is double that of white Americans. It is said that syphilis is probably the greatest cause of death and disability in the colored race. Among other things, this government bureau has published a set of pamphlets pointing the way to prevention and cure. These books may be obtained from the various State boards of health. Set A is for young children; for officers and the general public; for boys; set D. Set parents; set F. Set girls and young women; and set F is for educators.

Indian Mother Mrs. Bright was born in Merton, Stiele County, Minnesota, a little town that the census taker says has 27 incomes. She is a full blooded Sioux Indian, a tribe that was responsible for Custer's massacre, and her father a Negro. The Indian and Negro strain have both left their hometown, and she resembles her father in general features, but has the lithe slawy form of her maternal ancestors. Another attribute of the mother is her physical appearance, insurance about which we shall now tell. Father Was Actor When but a young girl, Mrs. Bird's parents moved from Minnesota to Mystic, Iowa, a town of about 2,700 people. In his early years her father was a member of the Williams and O'Neill families, a strain and small remuneration of trouping, Mr. John Mastfield Tolliver, musician, became J. M. Tolliver, miner. Mine Caves In While working in a "room" in a coal mine in Mystic, Iowa, his new home the "sharing" (or props that prevent the coal from falling) broke and Toledo, unable to escape, was put on the ground by an immense piece of coal. Daughter Also Minor His daughter, who was working in the shaft with him, removed the weight, and placing him in one of the nine cwars brought by the governor, pronounced his back broken. It was indeed a serious blow to the little family to have the broad-winner out of commission. He met with mother, and daughter, was called and the daughter, also an expert miner, agreed to work in her father's position and keep the wolf far away when she was born, until she became 16 years of age. Like her compatriot, Atticus, who was also a child of a Negro father and a Natick Indian mother, she possessed the Sioux for Dakota) is famous. Leaves Mine for Stago The call of the stego was heard and answered after several years of mining, so she left the "box-card loaders," picks," and "chunkers" and went into vaudeville doing a "strong woman" act. Mr. Bright informed that the wife was capable of supporting 800 pounds on her chest, and to do other amazing feats of strength. As a challenge to any miner who doubts that she knows her "mine stuff" the lady says that she will be glad to prove it at any time during the Regent engagement, —"Batouala" Next Week LOUIS HA 731-33 Pennsy Opposite Lafayette Clean up of $1.00 and Latest Novelty Shirt Genuine Broadcloth Next Week's Film Tips Pictures You Will Want To See At Local Movie Houses "Danger Line" At Dunbar Sussex Hayakawa, the popular of the "Danger Line," which whisples While the Marquis Yorisaka isSION in Paris, his wife the Marquis can divorce, and Captain Fergan, a cannibal, and Amnesia herself and Captain Fergan finds her so charms.

While playing the Star in Baltimore a little squab was run in those columns which in effect asked why the act was good. It concluded by saying that the act was too good for the little houses. We thought this matter over, said the director of York for a hearing, and have been working steadily since our arrival. Albert and Charley enclosed the bridge at "Bridgeport Times"; Gaines Brothers filled the bill with a rapid-fire, machine gun type of tumbling that keeps the audience appauling throughout. We never thought the human body to be so powerful without breaking a neck until we saw these boys perform Monday afternoon. "Very, very, good boys, very good indeed." A program enclosure shows that the boys are closing a five act bill, the boys are closing a most apprehensive complaint they have ever had.

There is a lady attendant and Walter Brosgaleis is listed as instructor. There is always room for clean, well-bred young ladies who care to adopt the theatrical profession. Mr. Pierce cast the original musical in the field by placing Tommy Words and eight young ladies at the Moulin Rouge in Paris. Whatever else he may have done must be told to other members of the production, we dare say that there are many other accomplishments to add to the above.

There is a thread of a plot that runs through the show, but was made serious enough to interfere with the lighter portion. All of the main participants of last week have been retained, and duplicate their former success. Eddie Lemon is minus his cook in the production and is doing a "bick" constable. I'll say that he got away with it, handsomely and will, no doubt, be supported by the "customers." Tribble has also discarded the "wench" type, and appears as a straight "brown." He deceived many of the audience on Monday night. He was given to do, but did that little artistically. A number sung by Bobby Tollierv Bright, reinforced by the choristers, who did a "Charleston Black Bottom stepping routine of which he performed more four times, and then begged for it again Lemon go in it with some "clowning," the last time the girls came back.

"Baby" Jim's Rival (programmed as Joe Bright) did a detective-style play as he always pretends Theresa Brooks, with all her winniness and grace maintained the niche in the hearts of her auditors that she established when she first appeared at the new frock had an ingenue speaking part, and added two dandy song numbers that gave this charming little bundle of femininity a perfect score for the evening.

Meighan's latest and best yet MORGAN BEARS HAVE EASY TIME WITH LINCOLN LIONS Saturday, March 14 MORGA MOR'AN TOSSERS BEAT LINCOLN TWICE Coach Law's Bears Win A 47-35 Victory From The Lions Before Big Crowd First Game Played At Lincoln Last Friday Won By A Score Of 17-11 MORGAN WINS 17-11 CONTENT AT LINCOLN Morgan won a 17-11 contest from Lincoln University Friday at Lincoln. The game was hotly contested without the Morgan lad has the edge on the lion quintet. This was the first meeting of the two schools this year. After 40 exciting minutes jumped full of thrills, lightning punk work and spectacular plays, the Morgan Bears emerged victorious over the Lincoln Lions by a 47-5 score Monday night. Nearly 700 fans witnessed the contest and when the teams swapped baskets Morgan was leading a 16 to 16 decision. Ninety ninety scored honors for the evening's work with seven goals and five fouls, giving his team 19 points. Payne came next and shared with Coenraad McCormack second getting 13 points. Sheffey was off form and failed to register after many tries for the first time, and when "Jazz" Byrd failed to make the trip with his team. Hill grubbed the ball at the toes from the center of the beautiful basket from the center of the floor. Young followed suit on a lightning pass from Sheffey. Near the end of the first period the score was 10-0 for Taylor started the scoring for the visitors with a double decker, but Morgan made five more markers in the first half and kept the basket again. Morgan was satisfied to keep the score doubled in the first half and with a comfortable lead when the half half with the same almost won. The Second Half The king of beasts fought desperately in the second going, but the Bear, contrary to the apache, entered and led them a terrific pace. The speed was entirely too fast to the Lions' liking. Baltimore teams are famous for speed and more speed, and the fastest team was the Lions. When the Lincolnites found this out it was too late. They tried to set the pace but found out they had been beaten at their own game. The Bear, with its rush forced their opponents along. The last half was a repetition of the first. Coach Law's speed demons had things sowed up and every one of them failed to profit the kingly Lions. Twin Cubs Star Morgan's game was exceptionally clean, only one foul being called against Hill. Morgan's winters, cubs, grooved themselves the strongest working combination on any local team, last, accurate and so deceptive was the team. Morgan was under the basket for a set up before Lincoln guards knew it, hoofly and Spinnaker. The cubs valuable assistance but they are not fast enough to include the opposition in the pinch-hole. Both Hill and Young are freshmen. The Preliminary The Grace champions won their 18th straight victory for the season in a county house by a 28-34 score in an extra period contest. "Cab" Calloway, former Grace coach, played against the Caliphs and played against the church boys. Neither team was in lead more than two points during the entire second half. With less than two seconds to go in the extra session and the score tied, Jones shot a field goal that won the game and kept their record unsqualified.

SEASIDERS REPORT FOR BASEBALL AND TRACK In track the prospects are especially bright. Hampton's greatest loss in track is in the 1922 B. D. Arnstein, E. L. Simons, and W. Warrick Cardozo, who finished in that order in the high hurdles, either graduated last year or did not return. He won up as possible winners in these events, and with the return of William Mc King, who set the record in the 220 race and lost in the 2022 be a formidable contender in the 1923 meet here. In the truck events, Hampton has always made creditable showings, but lost and missed events. Hampton has been unfortunate. Capt. Robert A. Coles, Jr., of the track squad, a brilliant distance runner and record-holder, expects our championship squad this year. The only representative Morgan College will send to the Penn Relays will be "Like" Young, who entered the High jump. Young won the Inter-collegiate high jump at Hampton last May with a leap of six feet one inch. He is the brother of WX. Young, coach at Lincoln and an all round athlete. He was the mainstay and captain of Morgan football team last year and this winter has played the best basketball of his career. KT CAP FROM E BERG (oy Himself) (Pat. Off.) MORE STREET Jamalca. B. W. I—B. M. Clark, Island champion, paled with Mrs. C. C. Culder and won the championships in the annual tournament, by defeating E. A. Fellheman and Mrs. M. Farquharson, 8-7, 10-1, 6-2. In the men's championship doubles, B. M. Clark and E. W. Fellheman loste to Vincent Richards and H. Voshell, white, American aces, 2-6, 6-4, 7-5, 6-4. The high spot of the tournament was the fight for the singles champion, B. M. Clark, who defeated Talley Holmes in America a few years ago for the A. T. A. championship, and Vincent Richards, white, one of the ranking 10 in the United States Lawn Tennis A mummoth crowd turned out to see the match and packed all sides of the court. The match by sets was a fierce battle. SETT 1—Clark palpably nervous is unable to settle down to his game and makes a worse error outside of into the net. There was no need for Vinnie to own the set for Clark lost it. Now out of Richards the familiar 'Beauty' in fact in the last game Vinnie thought 'beauty' was not good enough to win out of Richards the placement by Clark and so called it a 'peach Score 5—' Clark picks up and takes the game and a live one at that, too. He loses the next hit, takes the third, and then captures the three in succession. He opens the next game with a 'beauty' is placed nicely by Clark and strikes and the game. Again in the next Richards finds the net on several occasions and Clark makes a 'beauty' strikes and the game. Again in the next Richards advances to 40—love by the help of a net by Richards and two 'beauties' He then misses the net and makes a 'beauty' making it 'deuce'. Vinnie then passed him nicely at the net and Clark in favor of Richards. Clark then loses four strokes in succession thus giving Richards the set Vinnie opened up two service aces, Marilyn and her position and placed beautifully. Richards netted and Clark lost the remaining two aces, and he created this fine achievement worthy of the champion, for he had to take the lead then takes the lead by capturing the next game with a 'beauty' and a service ace. He also took a desperate effort to take the sett driving carefully but the masterful forcing the net position, not only took the game but also the next two thus winning the sett 8-6 and the match. It was certainly magnificent tennis and had Chad's ace there he would have captured the sett. He drew not less than fourteen 'beauties' out of 64, with 46.

It was one of the fastest court games witnessed this season and at half time the Greeks were forging Failure to register from the 15 foot line was the direct cause of Washington's loss, and of 15 fraternity they caged eight while the Greeks made six out of nine. If the fraternity champs had scored seven, the score would have been in their favor. Keller Breaks Ice At the jump off both teams drew fouls, the free throws being made left the score deadlocked at two all-outs. The team was led by "Herc" Keller broke the ice with a deuce spot but fouled Nurse, who made the free throw which left the local team hanging on by a one point margin. Brown added a clean cut cager from the center of the floor, followed by "Chippy" Taylor, and from then on both teams traveling at nighttime to the defense, so that might have tallied if the pace had shackened. Going into the second half with renewed fury, Blackman, who subdued the defender and the Delphins began a steady climb that threatened to turn the tide of battle. With four minutes to go the fraternal quint staged a raily that brought them within one Doncghy Bushed In "BILL" Harris, who had been keeping the bench warm all during the game, donned his fighting tops and went in guard for Butler.

To stem the tide, the Senators rushed in Doneghey, of football fame, but as a basketball player, Friday night, the gridiron was one of the best players in country. He soon gave way to Carter. Keller played the game of his life, ably backed by his teammates. The elongated center won all scoring honors, free throws from the foul line. Wheatley Real Star Wheatley played one of the clearest guard positions ever witnessed. He was perfect and he drew but one foul during the entire whirlwind contest. No individual team was viable. The team featured as a smooth working machine. Their passing was accurate, but falling to score from the foul line caused their team to fall.

In the deh, Saunders agrees to let the Greeks make their own terms and suggests April 3, as the opening date. He also takes under consideration the basketball fans of the state championship, and sees the state championship decided.

Game Bigger Than Club "Apparently, the ill feeling that exists between the two clubs has rewarded your consideration or playfulness, but it is greater than the other clubs, and all ill feeling should be waived for the sake of the game, and the season will begin. Then too, the basketball fans of Baltimore, who have carried the freight all season, should be concerned that the team is the better team, desire that the series be played, and it is our duty not to disappoint them.

He added that he had already of- ten been in the street and con- voyage of the lynchers. Besides many, in the substations, there are 83 men and women of the race employed to help safeguard the local milk supply distributed by the A. B. B. Western, Maryland Dairy, said to be one of the finest and most modern in the country. The new plant of the Western mountain range of the plains, in is considered one of the nearest approaches to perfection in construction and equipment in existence. Has Expert Smeller An example of the human element in handling such a large supply of milk may be judged by the fact that the milk enters the plant is to smell it. Early in the morning when the milk arrives from the farms on huge trucks, as they pass in on an automatic chute, the official smeller opens each can and takes a kiss. His handling makes it possible for him to detect the least sign of sourness. Of course, chemical and bacterial tests must be followed to follow up this initial test, but these laboratory tests require at least 24 hours, and by this time most of the milk has been served to the customers. Modern Pasteurization All of the milk is then passed to large tanks from which it passes through copper coils heated to 142 degrees, which kills all possible machines, and minutes the milk is held at the above temperature that no germ may escape. It is then ready for the bottling machine, which works automatically with almost human uncanniness. Before the bottles are filled, however, they have also been the subject of special attention. In three big machines, said to be the biggest in the world, they are rinsed in both hot and cold. There they are thoroughly washed inside and out by revolving brushes in special sterilizing solutions. Then they are rinsed in both hot and cold. Each bottle, passing through the washer with its mouth down, is subjected to 14 operations and it takes 25 minutes for a bottle to go through the machine. They come out sparkling, and shining and clear as crystals. Employees work in this department as well as the bottling department, where machines also require trained use of both hands to Keep up with these machines. Has Welfare Department The Western Maryland Dairy operates a complete medical department and a full-time employee is given frequent examinations. It also maintains a reception hall open to whites, and colored alike. The hall waltory institutions may also give services speeches with uniform praise of the working conditions at the plant. J. Edward Brown, with the concern of the custodian, is the oldest employee. This plant handles 30,000 gallons of milk daily and last year also handled 700,000 pounds of butter, 900 pounds of cottage cheese, and 384,000 pounds of cottage cheese. School Children Welcome A special consignment of half pint bottles is prepared daily, for school consumption. The facilities especially invite school children, under supervision of their teacher, to visit the dairy, so they may be informed concerning the precautions to safeguard their health. Appointments should be made a day in advance. Over 2000 school men have inspected the plant during the two years. At the close of the trip they are treated to a half-pint bottle of milk in the assembly hall. ST.

Rogers held him a copy of money, but stated that he knew nothing of any plan to sell him the concern. Some time it has been removed that the Southern Life would probably change hands. Harry O. Wilson, local banker and insurance man, was said to have been offered the concern for $30,000, but refused.

You've Tried the Rest, Now Take the Best FOR COLDS, GRIPPE, CHILLS AND PEVER AT Big-Store, 25aints KID NORFOLK GOING BACK--LOSES FIGHT TO BOB LAWSON First Annual Fog Raiser And Stunt Night In "Y" Gym By Aro Sports Editor According to neatly printed circles gotten out by "Bill Mason, physical director of the David Hill avenue branch of Y. M. C. A., there will be a raiser exhibited in the "gym" Friday evening, March 20th. We have seen the tails of mogrief old England and the tails of Baltimore, but so far in our long and varied life we have never seen one raised by humane hands. This particular demonstration will not only be the first one shown in the city, but anywhere else. Great British has spent its entire life very thing that "Bill will show to the googled eyed public Friday night. It is most likely that the city officials will be on to see it work and then get to sell his rights to Baltimore first. In order to raise a fog, of course we must have one. Bill promises to have one "gym" in the city where he will be raising a mystery as the raising process. It is pointed out that the "raiser" makes the fog as well as raise it. This thing would prove a dangerous weapon in the hands of unscrupulous persons. A burglar could tap us off on Druid Hill avenue in full view of the law by making a fog around his victim and escape before we would know what had happened, and of course he would not stay to raise the fog. He would leave that for some one else to do. When the victim comes to he would raise a little fog all his own. SPORTS EDGAR BROWN MAKE SPORTS MIRROR By AFRO SPORTS EDITOR EDGAR BROWN MAKES ANOTHER APOLOGY Edgar Brown, of tennis fame paid a flying visit to the APRO this week. Brown says he has an apology for the lack of publicity he gave to the courts, in which he said the courts in Dudley Hill Park for colored were facing the wrong direction and the ones for whites were running the proper direction. North and South. Soon after the champion's article, we made a trip to the park and with a compass, ascertained the directions of ALL of the park courts, a single court in Dudley Hill Park, and a single court in Dudley Hill Park, all run at various angles and none due north and south. On investigation we found this was due to the fact that municipal courts are laid out to conform with the rules of the court, and the ordinance with the rule book. On further investigation at there are only a few courts in the country that conforms. Most of these are private courts or those that are built es G. L. Mackey cordance with the team we found that there are only a few with the rules. Most of these are particularly for championship matches. We come in contact with shade from trees on an effort was made in the origin.

But most courts we have played on an effort was made in the original plans to include shade from trees. This is wrong too, according to the rules. MOST COURTS ARE LAID OUT WRONG City, while these are laid out to run north and south, they are surrounded City, while these are laid out to run north and south, they are surrounded by trees and quite often one player is in the glaring sunlight while the other is in the shade, a decided advantage. The New York City several years ago, were those in Van Courtland park. While these were sufficiently far away so not be affected by shade trees, they faced the wrong direction. If we remember correctly they ran northwest by south. Brown said the courts in Harlem are ideal, that is facing the right directions, and failing never played on these courts we are not in a position to criticize them. The ex-champion signified his intention to compete in the nationals this year at Bordenton and has started training for the event. He is making an effort to introduce the driving game among colored players. While the driving type of game should be chosen, the player should be responsible for steering the vehicle in his service and should use wide repertoire of services as possible so as to confuse his opponent. YEARS TO DEVELOP DRIVING GAME It takes years of practice and hard training to develop a driving game of a sufficient calibre to be serviceable and we suggest to the beginner that he or she start with an easy service and increase the speed with time spent on the course. The players of the driving game we have seen in action among colored court men is T. L. Puryear, formerly of Union, now dew of boys at Va. Normal Institute. We have often wondered why we have never seen him in the A. T. A. tournaments. Another player is Henry Harra, of the once famous team of Harris and Nixon of Union some 10 years ago. Harris was a member of the Nixon team, we have seen him of Nixon, he was in "T" work somewhere in Georgia. These were some of the first colored players to play the driving game. THE CHAMPION TEACHES THE GAME Later, Rutherford Jackson of New York, was about the first to introduce the type of game in New York and at that time was adoubles partner with the writer. Most of the games were played in Van Courtland park and quite a few were played on the grass courts in Camden Park. A volume could be written on grass courts so we will take courts up later. It was in the year of 1814 that the St. James A. C. was founded with the writer one of the charter members, that tennis first took hold in New York. Most of the matches were played with white teams as not a team in the city was allowed to play. The player Swann, a native of the West Indies and one of the best singles players in the East paired, with the writer and won several hard matches around New York with white teams. In order to create a new interest in the game, Brown has several classes in Philadelphia and some show real ability. One young lady, a pupil of the champion, gave Mirage Miss Channels, lady champion, the title, this year. FANS CRY FOR GREEK VS. SCHOLASTIC FRAY The proposed tilt between the Baltimore Scholastics and the Athletians is all arranged except the small matter of getting the Athletians to agree to the match. A number of Athenian players are anxious to settle this matter of supreme court, but the manager, like Wright and his holding out. "Joe" Saunders and his Scholars are agreeable to the encounter and are only waiting for the Greeks to say the word. "Joe" says he is willing for the winner to take all if that will induce the Greeks to meet his colts. The teams have made a creditable showing this year and both claim to be Baltimore's best team. All this is a lot of applesauce, there is only one way to claim a championship and that is to eliminate all competitors. The unwillingness of the Athenians to agree to the series put them on the defensive. The Scholastics have offered the Athenians a date and are willing to cancel any others if it will meet that deadline. The second team will agree to decide the championship business." The time to play this series would be the middle of April, a postseason game after Easter. The first game ought to bring out a record crowd, the second, you know, in the Albert and the third, you know, in the court in Baltimore. For all of that, "the Wright says the Scholastics have never officially sent his team a challenge for a game this season and if one is sent it would be considered. GRACE CHAMPS CHEATED OUT OF SERIES The Grace quintet of basketeers are singing the basketball blues due to the fact that "Duck Gibson canceled their proposed three game challenge" in Baltimore school team. every game. "It all came about, said the church champions, because we won a 53 to 32 game from the Defenders and the high school lost their game to the Community House team by one game.

SIKI DEFEATED BY PAUL BERLENBACH Sengalese Boxer Gets $8,301 For Bout With Astoria Fighter ESTRIDGE ALMOST QUITS Harlem Middleweight Failed To Follow Up Advantage In Schoell Bout New York.—Battling Siki former world's light heavieweight champion, was knocked out on his feet in the 10th round of a 12-round bout at Madison Square Garden by Paul Berienbach, of Astoria, N. Y., Friday night. There were 11.522 made admissions. Berienbach received $10.763.38 or 25 percent of the net receipts, while Siki drew down $3.001.10 or 20 per cent. The gross receipts amounted to $48.050.50 only after terrible punishment throughout the battle, the American administering vicious blows to the head and body with both hands. Would Not Go Down His face swollen and bleeding, the Senegalese totered about the ring under a volley of punches to the head in the ninth. Berienbach stood away and looked at the man, but Siki would not go down. Even when Referee Eddie Purdy stepped and suggested an end to it, Siki threw his arms about the man, and the matter. When he left the ring he danced to the cheers of the crowd. Tries To Defend Himself The 10th round offered the American the opportunity he had been seeking. Swinging a beetle to skis and drove a straight right to the jaw and the Senegalese sank, but did not stagger. About the wing Skii tried to defend himself, but this opponent's smashes reached through to his swollen eyes and nose. The referee saved him from further punishment. **Extridge Seared** Frankie Schoell, white, made his debut here in the 10-round semifinal by running a verdict over Larry Extridge. Extridge has put up two unsatisfactory exhibitions recently and reason for his reappearance here. Extridge did not try to fight more than three or four times during the final round. He soon had Schoell in trouble. Twice he had Schoell almost out, noticeably so in the final round. But in each instance Extridge failed to follow up Larry acted as if he was scared. We have seen him show plenty of courage in other lights. In the first round he did not make one lead; in fact he had so few times he could touch the ball that he was tossed out of the ring for not trying. Estridge weighed 157 pounds while Schoell was 63% pounds lighter. Beverly, N.

Handled by Walk Miller Bob Lawson, the new world's champion, is handled by the well known southern manager, Walt Miller, going under his direction three months ago. He is straight knockouts, no fight going more than five rounds. Miller also is responsible for the rapid rise to stardom of the "Georgia Tornado" Theodore, who is the greatest box office attraction in the United States. Miller predicted when announcing Lawson under his direction that he would be the most sensationally successful during 1925 and from his showing in annexing the colored world's title, likely knows whereof he spoke. In knocking Kid Norfolk cold in 1925, Lawson did better than Harry Wills' or Tommy Gibbons in their fights against Norfolk. No one saw the blow that was delivered by Wills and the referee was forced to stop Norfolk, with Norfolk on his feet.

Is Gambling Scheme The number lottery spring into being suddenly in Gotham and is said to have spread among the poor and working classes like wild fire, becoming a menace far more mental than race hockey betting, or the original New Orleans lottery. Each day there is published in the daily papers total bank deposits and withdrawals passing through the clearing house and these figures are used as the basis for a daily gamble upon which literally hundreds of thousands of dollars are thrown to the winds in an effort to obtain the money. It is the distant chance to win big stakes that make the scheme work. A lucky guess and five cents may bring returns of $30 according to some devotees, and the fact that once or twice large winners have these reported winnings the hopeless chance daily, believing that some day they may win. Baltimore Good Soil The New York promoters believe that Baltimore is good soil to plant the seeds for rich pickings. Race horse betting is popular here. Not only the horse classes classify the race, but more anywhere in the city but professional men, teachers in schools and school boys themselves take occasional fights hoping to beat the ponies. When some time ago companies placed several hundred gambling machines, causing the mint to forwarn hundreds of school children were found daily putting nickels in the mint, not so much for the mint, but because of the element of chance. Getting something for nothing is a noted passion of the number lottery promoters none to profit thereby. To Watch Movement That there will be no chance of establishing this new form of gambling here is assured men will be drastic steps will be taken, if necessary to prevent it. — *Batouala* — Next Week Work.

Pittsburgh, Pa.—All parts of Allegheny county were represented at a meeting last Monday which launched a campaign to raise $10,000 for the Cardinal Gibbons Institute, a school for Negroes in Ridge, Md. The drive will close March 31. "Twenty Years I'll be UNBLEACHING America 1. Do you think black and white races will amalgamate? 2. Would amalgamation lead to destruction of our civilization? 3. Do you oppose it? 4. Do you think the Negro inferior to the white. These questions answered for the APRO by twelve leading scientists and thinkers of the country—the brain of America. They are: HENRY FAIRFIELD OSBORN, Professor of Zoology, Columbia University; WILLIAM MACDOUGALL, Professor of Psychology, Harvard University; PODENT BEAN, Professor of Psychology, University of Virginia; FAY-COOPER COLE, Ethnologist, American Museum of Natural History. Their views will be given in a series of 14 articles, compiled by Thomas I. Dabney, especially for the AFRO-AMERICAN. Professor Henry Fairfield Osborn is one of America's leading paleontologists. He studied at Princeton University, University of Christiana, Norway, and other colleges. He was professor of comparative anatomy at Princeton University from 1883 to 1890, and is now research ser of zoology at the University of Colorado at the American Museum of Natural History, New York City. Prof. Osborn replied to my questionnaire in part as follows: "In answer to question five, my personal opinion is strongly against race mixture of any kind. I believe race mix has been produced and should try to develop its own best qualities along its own natural lines." Dr. Alain L. Locke Of the Negro race, no man, perhaps, is better fitted to emit an opinion concerning the question of race amalgamation, than Dr. Alain L. Locke, of Howard University. "Prof. Locke is one of our leading young scholars, having received the scholarship, having trained his work as professor at Howard. He wrote among other things, as follows: 'In answer to your question, I can say it is my opinion that race amalgamation proceeds much more rapidly where the races are socially 14th Ward Club The 14th ward branch of the Cooperative Civic League met at the home of Mrs. W. Tyler Coleman, 2039 McCullah street, Wednesday night, March 11. The program consisted of three lectures by Frances Williams, student secretary of X. W. C. A., of New York, read at the Civic League luncheon in February. The discussion was opened by Mrs. Ralph V. Cook, 406 Presstman street, which included one of the statements of William paper. The subjeckt was discussed by the various members including Mrs. Charles Spencer Smith of Detroit, Michigan, and Mrs. Frederick Douglass, of 1314 Dauroil Hill avenue. — "Batauola" Next Week— and economically unequal, and that it is this kind of misegement that is from both Negro and Caucasian points of view undesirable. "Considering that the considerable amount of time intermixed up until recent years, our outcome of such exploitation of the economically and socially weaker group, we must. I think, conclude that almost any degree of amalgamation in the future could not produce deterioration in the quality of life, standard of living in this country, since it has not done so thus far." Nature Says "Yes" "Theoretically, then, no unbiased mind can be opposed to the principle of race amalgamation. On the basis of this, I answered that question affirmatively." "Race pride and independence, however, will do two things in all probability, check it somewhat and transfer it to the plane of better circumstances elements and contacts." "Your fourth point is seriously to entertain." "Education, opportunity to develop opinion economic independence and the guarantee of public independence and the right to vote, are common citizenship rights are the three factors which I regard not only as the most promising but as the most necessary conditions for the establishment of race relations in America."

Pollex Discussed The policy of the hospital staff was discussed and the general opinion expressed that efficiency and training should be the only medium of selection, and if a staff of the hospital and surplus should be secured to begin the institution with a race staff. The way was also left-open to bar no physician on account of color and to make it possible to utilize the services of the best of any race. The hospital, if the project is successfully completed, the sum of $10,000 a year for three years has been pledged by Julius Rosenwald, of Chicago, a sum which may amount to $4,000 or $5,000 for work among colored children, by the Thomas Wilson Children's Sanarium, and one, or two smaller slums. The buildings of the old Union date about one hundred beds and Protestant Infirmary will accommodate facilities for training both colored physicians and nurses.

Is Dr. West opposed to a colored supervisor because it was forced on him by the strayer survey. Is this just another instance of the superintendent's mai-administration of colored schools?

It was the largest sum ever given at one time for Negro education, and made John D. Rockefeller, Sr., who gave the Board some $42,000,000 for its work, at once the race's greatest philanthropic benefactor. Then along came George K. Eastman, of kodak fame, and eclipsed somewhat the Rockefeller gift by presenting them the muncifical sum of $2,000,000. The only string attached is that the five million endowment fund of the two schools must be completed this year. Here is where John D. Rockefeller, Jr., came into action. The family record was in danger, and so with one sweep of his pen, in his own right he gave to Tuskegee and Hampton the additional sum of $1,000,000, bringing total Rockefeller gifts up to $2,300,000 in one year. In announcing the gift, the younger Rockefeller shows himself a "chip off the old block." He announced that his interest in these industrial schools for the race began when his father took him to Hampton on a visit while yet a boy. He added that he wanted it known that that gift came from him without regard to what his parent had already presented. We have been in the custom of regarding the Standard Oil Company, and the Rockefellers as having their hand in the public pocket every time coal oil or gasoline increased in price. Whether true or false, today we witness the spectacle of some of the millions being turned back for the industrial education of a race, and it is neither unpleasant nor unwelcome.

The controversy has not been raised from them to consider anything so their 'idea' be taught to the young Negro to make a living a very high ideal. A present the subject to be discussed is mu BOSS It seems that some ignorant; white man in some popular, but uneducated band has referred to Negros as "darkies." When this reference was brought to light by others, there was a great deal of criticism advanced against the editor or the author of the article, and a sense of human answered the criticism by telling of the Hampton and Tuskegee singers using the word "darkie" in the songs broadcasted by them. He mentioned "Ginia," "Ginia," "Swance River," and some other songs by these choral units. He didn't see why he could not use the group's groves themselves used the same term. This question was hard to answer. The Negro editors swelled up, but they could not give him an argument. The band they helped to jump on Hampton and Tuskegee. Schools Not Blamed Hampton and Tuskegue were both just as innocent as Marcus Garvey says he is. They only sang the down part of the song. He is a timeless boy. When the word "darkie" came up they pronounced it as such. Surely they could not render the song properly and change the word to "dark." If I damn if I do and damn if I don't. Their selection was damn, if I do. They saw fit to sing the songs as they were originally written and from all indications it appears the choral societies of the two schools will have to "cut out". The Way Out I would suggest that there be a committee of schools responsible. The man who wrote the songs has some rights, even though he is in hell. It would be wrong to change his name to not be so sensitive we do not like to hear the word "darkie." The question: is what shall we do? There must be some answer. The colored people do not want to be written been written that way. As I can see it the only thing for the singers to do and still keep their jobs is to hold their word "darkie." Mr. Carey Speaks A kind white gentleman, Mr. Carey by name, has mentioned the fact that he is gid Negroes are moving into town, that this will lessen the death rate and make conditions more hygienic. Mr. Carey specified Madison avenue. The comes as a contrast to the most famous people in other white people, in the newspapers. As I understand it the consensus of opinion amongst what is termed the better class of white people, is that they are white people who possess a good alley-and-park-theirin. The way they put it any colored man who desires to do otherwise is an enemy of both the white and the Negro in the world. Whether there is a, Mr. Carey or a, Mr. Ku Klux Klan, I also realize one thing. Man's tenure down here is of a slight duration. We have but a short time to live. It makes it more explicit. It says something about three score and ten further mentions that, though he lives longer than that it is almost all pains and sorrow in the newspapers. The question now, then is, why he is comfortable for any other man, though he be snow white, knowing all the that he has but a short time to live. Race Too Unselfish Our race has been all this time everything else but too selfish. What happens if we can’t get everything we can get, our hands on. We should figure like the good gamble, that is, get it all now, as I might have done a few years ago time. There is no reason on earth why any many should give another man the right of way, be he purple, blue or be white; only live for time, while we are here let us make the best of it.

Miss Stafford We have had a visitor in Baltimore for the last week or two. Miss Mary Stafford has been on her tour recently Miss Mary was one of the star entertainers at the Goldfield Hotel some few years ago. At that time she took a triple tour with the assistance of theinson Held, that versatile entertainer who is so well known all over the East. The third partner of the at that time entertaining aggregation has won so many laurels that I can only speak his name in a whisper. Yes, Mr. Ubie told me that he played the piano for Madison and Mary. Since that time Ubie had had his foot on all the rungs of the ladder of the house he was living in. Let it be understood that Miss Mary has been chirping them right on. True she did not want to be in electric lights on Broadway, but all the same she delivered the goods. Time Improves Mary At this writing, some six or seven or perhaps ten years since the trio scrapped up the clock of the Goldfield, Mary Stafford is even better than she was in the days when a dollar eighty would buy a drink for night unto eight head of a horse. Miss Mary, with Elmer Hillard, the pride of East Baltimore, has sung so many blues in the nest in New York that she had to come to Baltimore for a concert. She has charified back there. However, to keep in practice she is putting in a few nights at the Sportmen's Rest on McCulloh street, just to keep her hand in. Ubile Blake has nothing on her, but the electric lights, and the newspaper mention. Too Much Love A young lady in New York living in a boarding house, look poison because all the men wanted to love her. She could not stand it. When the lady in the house saw her grab for the bottle of poison she rushed to her and knocked it down, thereby sending her away. She was pressable some girls from Tennessee are. As a matter of fact she was just a trifle over sensitive. Most any woman would be loved by all the patrons theroin. The moral is: No rooming house woman should loose her head over a rooming house man. He might be in a way, but he doesn't weigh much. The Pastimers This is just to announce that the "Pastimers," a two-timer's association eminating from the Baltimore Post-College, will rollling contest on Easter Monday, but is going to hire Brown's boat at some later date for a private excursion. The students who act right up until the time invitations are issued are eligible to be invited. Act right, as Einstein would say, "is the right action." The consutes right actions I can't say. If anybody wishes to get better information on the subject they can consult Mr. Herman Page, the assistant postmaster. Of course I know a lot of girls do not want to go on the excursion. These young ladies will not have to inquire. Elk's Acquire Property This property is to be overhaul, enlarged and bulged a bit. When it is completed it is due to be the 'cats' as is the name. Some of the members of the Elks who are not on any committees have already gone over the plans with me. According to these caves droppers this country. They say notice has already been served on the Baltimore, Maryland Elkridge and Phoenix clubs to get out the war 'strut its sault'. I should say, remember the place is on a car line, so keep the windows washed, with no heads sticking out, the pavements clean and the noise inside. Egyptians were from reddish skin. Egyptians are mostly called Egyptians and nothing else. Carthage was settled by Phoenicians, a black race, and as it grew, surrounding African tribes became part of the nation. No picture has been taken of the script, but from the time in which he lived and considering the people of that day, he could have been nothing but an African and a Negro. White people in those times mighty few and seldom ever seen. Whatnot Column 154. What three candidates for the presidency of the United States were defeated by Abraham Lincoln in 1800? 155. John A.

Lincoln defeated Douglas by half million votes, Breckenridge a million, carrying every free state but the State of New Jersey. 157. What is the Slater Fund? 158. In 1882, John F.

Like a two-edged sword, race prejudice cut both ways. It weakens the energies and paralyzes the moral muscle of the white race; it stultifies the conscience and frustrates the normal workings of democracy and Christianity. It fosters a duplex standard of ethics, and leads to lawlessness; lynching, and all manner of National disgrace. The elements of the white race that are most thoroughly obsessed by this passion show the lowest average of intellectual, moral and spiritual achievement. What Is Prejudice? Prejudice is a state of mind. Some affect to believe that it is an innate passion parallel with instinct, and is therefore unalterable. Other affect takes the form of animosity, hostility by time, and condition, and is on the same footing with other shallow obliterative feelings. But whatever the basis of race prejudice, whether natural or artificial, we do not know the present fact, easily stimulated and appeased with difficulty. It forms a barrier between the races which is as real as the seas and as apparent as the mountains. Like a two-edge award, race prejudice energizes and paralyzes the moral muscle of the white race; it stifles the conscience and frustrates the normal workings of democracy and Christian ethics, and leads to lawlessness, lynching, and all manner of national disgrace. The elements of the white race that are strongly obsessed by this passion show the lowest average of intellectual, moral and spiritual achievement. The Ku-Klu Klan spreads its virus, through our democracy; Nordic caries it to the ends. Its effects are nationally and internationally threatening, and the American people and, the Nordic civilization of which they are a part must stop to consider what is happening to the world, perturbing the fatal seeds of world disgression and catastrophe. Segregation But our present concern is mainly to describe prejudice as it affects the Negro. Here the harvest of prejudice is ripe for the solicitation and all-inclusive effect of race prejudice on the Negro can be summed up in one word, segregation. This is but the outer emblem of the Negro's struggle and all-inclusive effect. Whatever the nature and origin of this attitude, it is well high universal in the scope of its operation. The watch word is "miscegenation" and the word is "cunning" in "The cunning, propagandist, knows how to play upon these starms and to adjust their appeal to the varying moods of popular passion and prejudice." This is the most famous of his favorite instrument. Until recently the Negro has been the victim, with little capacity to resist. This attitude of the white race has denied the municipalities have sought to embody this feeling in restrictive ordinances. In their too heavy heat they overcame the boundaries of the constitution and the law; Negroes, through the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, contested the constitutionality of these ordinances and won a unanimous decision from the Supreme Court. Yet the legal victory merely modified the details of procedure; it had little effect upon the actual fact of segregation, which operates actively without the law as within it, as to the finality of its boundaries. Segregation In Harlem The most gigantic instance of racial segregation in the United States is seen in Harlem. There is no local law to be. And yet, under the normal operation of race prejudice, we find 200, 900* Negroes shut in segregated areas as sharply marked as the aisles of a crowded street. This is but an example of what is taking place in every city and center where the Negro resides in great numbers. Segregation has greatly emphasized this tendency. In Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Detroit, Indianapolis, and Chicago, the Negro contingent lives in wards and sections of wards which the politician and the real estate dealer, know. as well as through the depths of the depths and shallows of the seas. We may then take Harlem as a fair specimen of the harvest of race prejudice within the largest Negro community in the world. It is a city within a city, a part of, and yet apart from the general life of greater New York. Harlem was through the inhumanity the cruelty or the hardships of race prejudice. The outstanding fact and the consequences immediately flowing from it suffice for the These Negro communities are every- hree extending their boundaries with- out rending to any fixed limits we can now set. In Chicago, the black belt precipitated the lamentable race riot. The issue is still the cause of race agitation in milder form in all parts of the country. These issues are trying to keep back the rising tide of black invasion into residential areas previously regarded as exclusively theirs. The Negroes are pushing over the boundaries of racial restriction in quest of more room to move. This minor border warfare to continue until the matter settles itself by custom, understanding and acceptance. Thus it is that the sharp accentuation of the white race is developing a counter-tendency on the part of the Negro. This is the first fruit of segregation. Race Consciousness If Negroes were indiscriminately interspersed among the white population of New York, race consciousness and racial jealousy peaked. Three, hundred thousand Negroes intermixed among six million whites would be unopinable. But when segregated in two or three states, Negroes come not only apparent, but impressive. Whenever people are thrown together they begin to think of their common ancestors, who emerge which shortly expresses itself in organized endeavor. The Negro race as a whole has hitherto had a somewhat vague and indistinct collective consciousness; stimulated in large part by the race. But the race is too numerous, too wide spread in ter- Page Eleven FEATURES OLD TIMER AMOS HOKUM DAY BY DAY 15 YEARS AGO WATSON'S CARTOONS PROF.

The Garvey movement furnishes the most extreme focus of this feeling. Marcus Garvey found in Harlem not only the freedom to express himself and overshadowed by whites, but also a considerable group of West Indians, who, in many ways, felt themselves isolated and circumscribed by the nation. Shrewdly enough he seized upon this group as the basis of his focal operation. He preached the impossibility of racial entente on the same soil and the possibility of racial integration in gime, and urged a racial hegira. His philosophy does not in this connection interest us. But he has shown to the people the power of racial mind, and of mobilizing racial resources about a formulated ideal. Negro Agencies Another fruit of prejudice is the direction which race effort and organization take. Recently the Negro has been known quite too much on the defensive. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People arose to fight for the right of fight and protest. Their fundamental philosophy is based upon the belief that race prejudice is medicable in the process of racial process. Their method is militant and thus formidable. Equality is their goal: the elimination of prejudice their objectivity. The Urban League, on the other hand, represents the ameliorative method which hopes that in the long run smooth working relations will be effected on the basis of mutual foral cooperation. The track is local, urban and industrial. The Negro Sanhedrin, the most recent attempt at race organization, seeks to understand the nature and extent of race prejudice, and to work on the basis of this understanding. If it should turn out that race prejudice cannot be overcome by direct attack and opposition, it may possibly be circumvented by building independently where independence is necessary, and by co-operation where co-operation is possible. It would at least garner the harvest of prejudice to the best advantage of the race. The Negro Sanhedrin seeks to find the common denominator of racial ills, and would federate into one effective effort the scattered energies which are so largely wasted by friction and cross-purpose. As a matter of fact, the race as a whole had never hitherto seriously essayed collective handling of the racial situation as a whole. There have been innumerable attempts at dealing with special features along local, religious, political and economic lines. But the integration of the race mind and the focalization of endeavor still awaits the fuller unfoldment of the workings of some such comprehensive movement as the Negro Sanhedrin. The twelve millions scattered throughout the length and breadth of the land were the most vulnerable as the white race is concerned. And yet the Negro has had to rely upon local and scattered effort to offset the solid line of racial exclusiveness with which the Negro has conceived action to confront difficulties that are nation-wide and race-deep. Seeks Self Expression Every minority and suppressed group seeks self-expression. Woodward, the eldest of the loic of a new Pandora's box when he preached this doctrine as the slobbole of the war. The Negro self-determination also. In Harlem he held a rally in which he wants man of his own race, represent him in the city council, in the State legislature and in the national Congress. Over a political area is numerically dominated by members of the race, they will naturally seek a voice in political councils. Here again segregation is basic. If the Negro were successful for State Senate, Assembly, the judicial bench, and the whole race rejoices. What is it that unites twelve million Negroes in jubilation over such a preacher but the uniting force of race prejudices? Business is the last place in which prejudice shows itself, and it is in this place that the least manifest. Scattered through the streets, tectively every street corner are Jewish stores catering to the vast Negro constituency. The Jew makes the most of this, and among Negroes because he knows how to reduce race prejudice to a minimum. In Harlem, as in every other large city, the Negro proprietor conducts mainly sumptuous meals at eating-houses, barber-shops, beauty parlor, pool-rooms, and such places as cater immediately to the appetite or the tastes of the stores which require a larger exercise of the imagination, such as those dealing in goods, goods, furniture, hardware, and shoes, are usually in the hands of whites. Race-prejudice will sooner or later lead to race patronage in business as it always done in the professions; but it aaways does, and shall have developed the business aptitude to compete with the white dealer, who is shrewd enough to hold prejudice in restraint for the sake of trade. The final outcome of race prejudice operating to establish and maintain a sense of community, where most evidently be a, self-sufficient, Negro community, competent to cater to its own needs and necessities. The Negro community is the general industrial and economic life of the city as a whole, the common form of race adjustment. The relationship of the two be characterized by amity or by animosity. We approach the issue of race adjustment, but with our hope triumphant over our fears. However bitter the trivial, of the tree of prejudice, may be, the tree of coercion and thrive by the culture.

After the Wedding Bells Who gives up the most in marriage? There can be but one answer—the woman. She gives up her very self. Is lost, completely and finally. She loses not only her place in her own family circle, her position in the workaday world, her men friends and business associates, usually her good looks, and many times her health, but she gives up her name and identity—she ceases to exist. When Mr. John Smith, traveling salesman, marries, he is still Mr. John Smith, traveling salesman—but when Miss Mary Brown, traveling saleswoman, marries, she becomes Mrs. Sam Jones, housekeeper. The man who marries continues his business, his recreations, his away-from-home life, with little change from his bachelor days, but a woman's whole life is changed. Dating from her marriage day her little world revolves around its four-wall orbit from daybreak to bedtime, with only now and then a "movie meteor" or a "car-ride comet" to cast a bright ray across the dull, gray monotony.

Not today, dear," answered her mother, "tear me up in my hair." "Please, Mamma," coaxed Flosse, "I like rain." You can't go outdoors now," answered her mother firmly. After more teasing to no avail, Flosse said she was sure would bring Mamma to time, that of berating all her mothers and relatives. Grandpa's had: Aunt Mary's had: Flosse paced the floor as she made these announcements. To the child's utter chirm, her mother ignored her completely. Anything Flosse sandpoint than to be ignored; even a spanking would have been worse. She knew she was making some impressions on Mother. She soon weared off that scheme when she could see no one; only means she had left to bring Mother to time, that of having a tantrum, the first and only tantrum she Flossie was not an anly when she began her tantrum, merely determined to fall her point. — You see I have a perfect right to tell you what Flossie thought, for I was Flossie. — Flossie lay down on the floor and blicked furiously and yell, "I want to go outdoors and play, I do." Still, Mother paid no attention whatever, and after a few minutes Flossie wearied to her creased some and began playing with her dolls as good humouredly as her. Contraist Flossie's experience with that of young Charles When Charles was about two years old he developed the habit of scrambling for what he wanted and crept furiously. If the other children did not give up to him, if this did not bring him a customer, if the baby have it, Chilton's from Mother, or "Give that to Charles this instant. You ought to be ashamed to make a little boy cry from father, Charles bumped his head, blicked his heels, stiffened himself and bellowed, until one of his distracted parents would give the desired compound to the other children. Then he would grasp the coveted article, shut his jaw defiantly and grunt one long "Gah" after another until the spell was bled. This course was followed until Charles became adept at gaining his point that, even after the arrival of another baby, the child was away. I was the baby who had to give in to Charles, not Charles to the baby. Charles soon learned that the whole family stood in awe of his "madness" and many on every possible occasion. Eventually his parents feared of having to on the floor kicking his heels and screaming at the top of his voice a dozen times a day. He began punishing his children, succeeding in putting an end to his mischief at 15 years of age. Is it so disagreeable that his family can scarcely live with a child of his own who has only in deference of better judgment or at the expense of others, crying, holding the child for the parent calmly but certainly to prevent it. One decided victory on the part of the child means constant trouble for the parent, while one victory on the part of the child means constant trouble for each teacher the child ever has, and perhaps the reform school or penitentiary eventually for the rights of others is the foundation of obedience to parents and respect for the laws of the land.

To the costume of the night before had been added long mercerized gloves, a pocket-book, and a sailor hat and flowing veil. Two robes of rouge showed through the veil. She took her place at one end of the long choir. Charity stood at the other. The parlor organ began to play the hymn. Her thin hard voice strained and screeched and faded down on the notes—she could not carry a tune. The choir trebles tried to follow her. She needed for the choir to get in tune. Cinder listened, the rest of the congregation almost stopped. looked and listened. Charity's musical contrife took up the space she held herself—she the people joined gladly in and the hymn went through. The church meeting was gathered there to sing, and did not want to be cheated of its pleasure and its prier. The mother read a verse or two from the Bible and gave out another hymn. Again Rosa defied the sense of music in the Negro soul, and floundered into the quizzicals. Charity's full true voice rescued the Seven times during the "meetin' Reven' Peters gave out a hymn, and seven times Rosa made a whole sale.

She fled white embroidery parasol, "Chaty' kln I see you home." Rev. Peters smiled as he locked up the hymn books. Charity's mind was easy as she applied to the thickeners of their sacks. The sun was sinking low when she started up to put her sack on the scales. Rosa and Clinder stroiled into the late gate. "You must be a weigh yo cotton dust! You in a hurry to git home." "Tank you. Chaty. I will—you know what you pick, widow wealth to dust! You reglar even two hundred pound." The overseer stood by the scales and figured the amount due Cely, at a cent and three-quarters for each purchase. Charlity's being was stirred with the hateful realization that she had not settled Rosa after all. She sought a way to do it, or to begin doing it. She shear her sack on the scales, Cinder and Rosa joined the crowd. The overseer pushed the weight of the sack onto Charlity stood laughing and talking, with her hand lightly resting on the mouth of the sack. As she saw that it would be an even weight, she clapped and lifted the bag just a trifle. "Talmit can't quite two hundred today, Mistah Denals.

From all directions out of the dark came bugles and wagons and a lingerie and a lighted lantern and excitement, the crowd gathered. it was infested with small members of the Sunday school class, offering for sale stick candy and oranges apples and cookies, poking at courting on one side of the rope, and eating and serving and courting on the other. The younger daughters of the church assisted the Daughters of Zion to pick up Rosa, sat by the fireplace and picked at a banjo.

They're In The Regent's Beauty Contest I WORKED TWO WEEKS FOR SIXTY CENTS Georgia Boys Lured Away From Home By Labor Agent Who Promised Big Wages 1000 MILE JOURNEY Cover A Distance Of One Thousand Miles With Five Dollar Capital Struck with the wanderlust, augmented with the rosette visions of a labor agent, Theodore Maxwell and James Reid, two 21 year old youths of Savannah, Ga., arrived in Philadelphia last winter, after a visit, consuming over two months. Out of "luck" as well as finance, the two boys arrived in the city and applied at the Y. M. C. A. for quarters. One of the boys was given companion by a white woman at the "Y." after position was secured for the other at a local coal company. However, both are out of jobs now and after seeking work for the past week have been unsuccessful. The boys were started on their nearly 1000 mile journey with a total capital of less than $5. They were induced to leave Savannah by a labor agent with promises of lu After reaching Baton and working two weeks their railroad fare, board and lodging were deducted from their salary, which left them a balance of $10,000 of the North Carolina town at the treatment received at the hands of the aluminum plant, they were told that they (the police) were employed by the town to bring their d—troubles to them. The officers said "Everybody in Baton works for the aluminum people, and if you don't work for them you had better leave." The nearest station was 25 miles, so the boys had to hike that distance to reach the nearest railroad where they caught a freight train and eventually arrived in Washington. However, most of the long, tedious journey was accomplished on foot with an occasional lift by a passing motorist. Quite frequently a freight train was used as a carriage as well as sleeping quarters. Three times they were arrested and turned loose by railroad detectives after being told to show their beaks to the town they were in at Footsie and weary, one night, the two wanderers found themselves near a graveyard and sought refuge in a friendly tombstone. With a bed of dry leaves and the sky for a covering, they spent the night in apparent comfort. They formed a partnership with two traps and covered several miles with them, the four sharing the fortunes and misfortunes of the life of hoobes.

The following Edmontonears here can answer: "Darkey" Alright in Song "I think if we are to sing for a white audience and are requested to sing the melodies that might have them, we shouldn't be so narrow as to not sing them, but if we are to choose our own song for a program, I would choose some other race melodies, as race songs to select from."—Mrs. Aletha Henson, 2017 McCulloh St. Miss Neal Disapproves The Negro Spirituals are songs that hear and appreciate. The radio can and should be used to broadcast them, and as for songs using the word "darkey" I think should not be used in the word."—Miss Gertrude Neal, 231 Hoffman street. Says Mr. Warner, I am heartily in accord with the word "darkey" the illustration melodies are such as Annabel would tend to spoil what they portray."—G. Russell Weller, Jr. The MSU "Darkie" kindred words belong to the ante-bellum era, and are not used in the best circles. The Negro of today is rapidly shedding the mantle of secrecy, and humble self-importance, while the lyrics of "Old Kentucky Home" and "Susanance River" are not conducive to the establishment of proper ideals in the present generation and posterior. "Kipper," "wop," "hunkey," and other terms have been expurgated by other groups as being offensive. The documentation obtained it does not compensate for the de laiing influence of these terms. The songs were not written by Negroes, and do not express the inner thoughts of the race. There are enough beautiful spirituals to go around without singers moving to those above—Kennard Williams. Think It Alright "I think its alright to sing the plaplanation songs with the words "darkery" in them, because I am of the opinion that it is the melodies of songs that appeal to both our people and the people of the world than the words. Most of our sing these songs with our hearts and minds on the melody and not even AFRICA NEEDS NO HELP, SAYS NATIVE Dr. D. J. Clesantis, Abissinian Scholar Addresses Local Church Group That conditions in Africa have been repeatedly misrepresented and that American Negroes would do well to take some lessons from that continent, were some of the remarks made by Dr. D. J. Clesantis, professor of Sanskrit, and regarded as one of the greatest historians of his country, at the Metropolitan Baptist Church Wednesday. Rev. D. J. Clesantis stated in his lecture that the natives of Africa are not undivided as the people have been told. He also states that there have been so many who came from Africa with bad reports, such as, they cut one another, this is not true, as they are one of the oldest Christian races in the world. In another instance he states that they do not need the form of American religion. He stated that most of the missionaries that come to Africa have been more of an enemy than any thing else, that they have robbed the people of their homes, and counsellors also robbed us by telling us lies. He tells the American Negro to build up colleges and institutions for their own boys and girls and teach them how to defend themselves taught to Africans as they do not need any assistance. Dr. D. Green, pastor of Metropolitan Baptist Church, says that Dr. Cleansman gives more facts about the African people, the lecturer he has ever heard, and invites him back to his pulpit at any time. Dr. Green advises us to take advantage of such lectures as they enable us to know true facts and understand things that are of interest to us. thinking of the words."—Mrs. L. Bun field, 2015, Madison avenue. "The term 'darkey' is not degrading, but uncompetitive, as one would say, a black, happy-go-lucky sort of chap who is not to be taken word, chiefly because of the opinion it gives the black children of themselves and the white children of their darker brothers. As a subtle, but powerful sentiment of the young generation of both races, it is not to be regarded as foolishness to raise this question. As for the darkey, it is not a mere sentiment of the young generation, that the term is one of anticeliburn custom and has no real place in real Americanism, but Do The Children?" Dava, Jessye, director, Dixie Jubilee School Principi Disproves "The outstanding contribution, of the Negro, to modern civilization is music, as repressive as 'harm' and spirituals." "The greater the publicity of this fact, the greater the knowledge on the part of all people of the simplety, and power of the Negro." "I object to the term 'darkey' when used in an ordinary story as referring to the Negro, but I know that the intentional omission of any such term is a modern term, robs the song of its original meaning and historical value."—Mr. George A. Owen, principal of Hooker Washington School. Dr. Morley Objects. The Dr. Morley Objects. The Dr. Morley Objects. On being asked to opinion whether Negro muslim clubs or organizations should sing "darkey" songs over the radio, replied that the terms "darkie", "hickie", "ugly and bearded" and "beautiful" prejuiled white men as a term of depreciation, secrec and is meant to deceive the Negro. The white men of the opinion that such a "ugly and bearded" men sing when in reference to the Negro. Minister Opposes. "I don't think our people should sing such songs over the radio, or be so humiliated to the Negro radio."

Ave. Baltimore, Md. MAdison 0069 Page Thirteen "CLOSE RANKS" SAYS DR. W. H. MOSES Campaign Manager Of The National Baptist Convention Inc., Urges Union DENOMINATION GAINS Independent Polity Of Baptist Principles Is Secret Of Expansion Calling on the Baptists of the country to close ranks and unify their efforts in one great unified effort, the National Mission, official of the National Baptist Convention, Inc., urged local ministers to unite at their preachers meeting last week. Staid Dr. Josephs, a missionary of polity of Baptist principles is the secret of Negro Baptist growth in numbers. "No one can stop a Baptist from starting a church or applying when he chooses." "That accounts for the growth of Negro Baptist in numbers and wealth in spite of the lack of money of nonproudists. "Negro Baptist make up about 35 per cent of all the Baptists in the world and 40 per cent of the United States. The National Baptist Convention membership, as given by the American Baptist Association, is how the mark. But accepting their figures, it is safe to say that between five and six million people are under the influence of Negro Increase Shown "From 1884 to 1923 the churches increased from 8,165 to 24,333 in 1923. The ministers from 3,841 to 18,267 in 1923 and the membership from 1,945 to 3,945 in 1924, 2,028,126 says Dr. C. Walker in the American Year Book. There are 19,723 Sunday schools, $36,37,500 worth of church property, 135 high schools and colleges valued at $14,152,858 and controlled by Negro conventions and boards, and $2,818,354 controlled jointly by white and colored boards for Negroes. The National Baptist Convention has more than 1,000 members, 1,000 own corporate name. That aggregates $42,229,033. That is the lowest estimate. That is enough assets to work wonders in kingdom building. It is due largely to the power of political leaders. Teamwork Needed "Baptist independence makes it difficult for us to do teamwork communicate with our numbers. "We have not been able to use our numbers to help build our local churches. We have had to pay more for money on shorter and harder terms than those demonstrations which were in position to back up our efforts at backing and assurance of financial backing in case of inability of the local church to meet its obligations. "We have worn out many good books and learned new financial skills. Our ministerial gifts have been neglected, and the people have spiritually declined during the church building period. "National Baptist Convention is incorporeal she is in better position to help local churches get better terms when financing their enterprises. The sum of $42,202,039 means much when the National Baptist Convention though the major portion of the holdings belongs to independent congregations. "Lack of team work has prevented us from doing teamwork with our neighbors. Out of 507 colored denominational schools for Negroes in the U. S. A., the colored Baptist and their white Baptist friends own and open a school, present, at the lowest calculations, 63.9 per cent of all colored Christians in the country. The other 36.1 per cent representing all other schools valued own and open a school, 63.6. The colored Baptists and their friends gave an average of $6.49 per member. If white and colored Baptists were giving in the same proportion, the total would raise $143,540,000 in five years. "Now that the National Baptist Convention is incorporated the colored Baptist family will be able to腐蚀 their schools without destroying their autonomy and put the whole denomination behind all of its white members." Long Growth The historic tendency of the Negro Baptist denominational group has been toward national union and co-operation in kingdom work; in spite of temporary misunderstandings and disagreements, the Baptist fathers sowed the seed for national Baptist union before the war. The American Baptist Missionary Convention was organized in New York City in 1840. The Southern Missionary Convention was southernized in 1844. They united with the American Missionary Conventions covering the entire country. The New England Baptist Missionary argy Convention and The Western States Missionary Baptist Convention which followed convention continued until 1877. In 1855 at Atlanta, Ga., the Foreign Mission Convention, the American National Baptist Convention, the American National Baptist Convention, and formed the National Baptist Convention of the U. S. A. The New England Baptist Convention had already unified in 1883. The Western Baptist Convention, the National Baptist Convention in 1896, thus on the foundation laid by our fathers in the days of slavery there was perfected one united Baptist family in America.

Year-Old Veteran Lost vigor, deadened grands and nerves, and that weak, worn-out, depressed and half-alive feeling was not be dreaded any longer since the discovery of a well-known chemist. Now it is possible for those who feel "prematurely old" to become "rejuvenated and regain the vital force of youth," often in a day's time, with Mando Formula, is the amazing statement of one who has taken the treatment. This famous discovery is bringing "renewed youth" and "strength" to thousands where everything else had failed. "I want to say that my 'lost vigor' was restored and 'grands renewed' in twenty-four hours," says D. H. Pence of Kansas City, Mo. "Today I am 76, but I don't feel a day over 40. Before I started taking the treatment, I felt I was an old, 'wornout' man; but now I am enjoying a remarkable 'gland restoration' and am convinced my 'rejuvenation' is complete and permanent. May God be blessing rest on the discoverer of such a boon to humanity." This wonderful formula, prepared by one of the largest laboratories in the world and home and seems to work like magic in its rapidity on people of all ages and sexes. It matters what your age or occupation, no matter what your age or occupation, no matter what you have tried, if you are lacking what you need, you are so confident that Mando will restore you, that we offer to sell a large $8.50 box of cookies to you. If the results are not satisfactory and you are not more pleased in every way, it costs you noticing. Mando—just your name and address—for F. L. Carlin, 6347 Saltmere Bldg., Kansas City, Mo., and the treatment will be directed to your directions. If at the end of 14 days you need "degeneration," just send me your money will be refunded without question.

SHE SAYS "When I Get Thru With Him You Can Have Him," Adds Pastor's Wife Board Votes To Drop Matters Until Court Settles Divorce **vorce** Pittsburgh, Pa.—When I get through with your pastor, you can have him. If you want him, don't ask him. Give him the speech before the members of Central Baptist Church prior to the recent trial of the Rev. W. B. McKinney, ministerial chair board composed of 12 ministers, six of whom were selected by Mrs. Jones and six by the Rev. Jones. The findings of the board were to the effect that nothing could be done against the small attack on the nation of the divorce case now pending in the Allegheny County court. Last Friday night at a regular church meeting the report of the church's motion prevailed to have expunged from the records of the church all records of the affair and let it rest until after the court trial. The motion was adopted by a vote of 359 to 42. Asked to Settle Case Out of Court "It is alleged that Mrs. Jones' daughter and that she has suggested that she leave Pittsburgh for California or some other distant place, and allow you to secure a divorce on a charge," Dr. Jones was asked when seen Tuesday morning.

I could not do otherwise and maintain a semblance of self respect of what has already been done." "Who Is Ircue?"

The trial will come up for a hearing in April and that time many of the things you have asked me today about are in the hands of my attorney, Robert L. Yam, who will handle the case in court for me. When asked about what he intended to do in connection with certain members of the official family of the church after the trial, Dr. Jesse said that he did not care to disclose the possibility of certain changes in the official family might suggest themselves at the proper time and he would not make any statement along that line.

Superintendent Flowers Urges Parents' Delegation To Help Situation 135 TEACHERS ON LIST Pupils Advised To Prepare Themselves For Some Other Vocation 1. Do all you can to turn the pupils' minds from the teaching profession. 2. Have the girls come here and go over their examination "It was not," replied Mr. Flowers. "Colored and white students took the same examination which was compiled by members of the superintendent's office and the papers were marked by the same staff. Mrs. McClencher then stated, "In as much as the examinations are the same for girls as for the whites, are the facilities the same?" "A long discussion followed in which Mr. Flowers explained that the same facilities, which include reference books for normal students, are the same for the colored students as for the white, in proportion to the number of students." The fact that the examination questions were not made from any particular text books. Miss Cooper's Reason Miss Cooper explained that pupils often rely on their text books. This one believes is what caused many of the pupils to fail on the examination. When the wording of the questions was not different to that in their text books they probably did not connect the two. Fault At High School much. Flowers' effort to lay some of the cause for failure to the low averages of some of the students in their graduation from high school from the delegation unanimous comment on the deplorable conditions existing there. Mrs. McMechen declared that if high standards were to be required of pupils, then raise the standard of the high school and training school teachers. Urges Other Professions Assistant Superintendent Flowers dents from entering the teaching progruded the delegation to dissuade students. "But what are our girls going to do? Baltimore is not like Washington, where they can enter government service, or like other cities in which many students are not spending fourteen years in school they are far above working in factories and in kitchens." Mr. Flowers replied that he was well aware of this situation and had interrupted him. "The city whom he said were also at a loss to offer any suggestions. Condemns Married Teachers He pointed out the long list of eligibles, 135 in number. 81 for the intermediate grades and 44 for the kindergarten age. He also noted the list for three years without any appointment and without hope of appointment. Since last September there have been 20 or more appointments but none from this list. Generally, he said, "I am one of the 35 who year in the schools before married women were permitted to teach. Young women teachers are very eligible for marriage in as much as they are receiving $1,500 a year and the average payment is $1,200." The last Legislature passed this law and there is no remedy. Suggests Revision The charter of Baltimore, in which there has been no changes since 1920, makes it possible for all persons who wish to be placed on the eligible list. Personality or practice work do not count in these examinations. Superintendent Flowers said that if he were asked to offer suggestions to the principal, he would offer the following: that pupils in taking the examinations for teachers be rated on personality, practice work and the professional examination. He would recommend an oral examination before the members of the School Board. "Batouala" Next Week You can just the ATION PRO ON GOOD MORNING The Afro Court Reporter GOOD MORNING JUDGE The Afro Court Reporter Friday Unlucky Day Friday, the 13th, proved an unlucky day for Miss Eva Hall, 1104 N. Strickler street. Miss Hall found her husband, the man, Judge, "early that fateful morning. She was accused by her aunt, Mrs. Annie Alton, of the same address, of using a stove litter and a milk bottle too freely. Mrs. Alton displayed a handbag that she used to tell her story. "You see, Judge," she explained. "This young woman stays at my house with her gentleman friend. I didn't mind that, but when she started spending half the night with this man and the other man, "some other man," that was too much. She paused to catch her breath and began again: "When I asked her to stay with either one man or the other she got a milk bottle and struck me in the head." "You are going to do two things, said the judge, twirling his pencil in a menacing way. You are going to that house as soon as you get home, but you are going to pay $25 and costs before you go." She did the latter and promised to finish the order in due time. The economic necessity to enlarge the family income by taking in boarders worked out with disastrous results in the case of Mr. and Mrs. Browne, 1708 Madison avenue, Sunday night. The first part of the drama started when, instead of the accustomed welcome Mrs. Dalton gave her husband when he returned home, he posed for him by the arms of the law, who informed him that his homecoming reception would take place at the Northwestern police station instead of the warm room of his spouse. He supported and a lot of other things they serve with this dish. In fact, she told the Magistrate that it had been a cold day in December since she had received any coin from her husband. There that the boarder story came in. "Judge," explained the much injured husband. "I will tell you the real reason. Not long ago I came home kinder sudden like; and lo and behold, my wife met me in the hall and wanted to do all the lugging and kissing out there. Thinking it a little odd I took notice and found that she was just trying to hold me back. Rogers of the boarders in the home, could make his get-a-way out of her room. Nevertheless the Magistrate decided that he should pay his wife $5 per week until the matter had been settled in the divorce court, to which he expresses his intention, of going. The whole affair was shrouded in mystery until the police began to investigate. Joseph Powell, 348 W. Biddle street, halted a taxi cab, looked cautiously, about to take a turn, and affixed the form of a woman into the vehicle and sped away. An officer of the Western District saw the hasty actions, saw the body lifted from the sidewalk, where it lay seemingly lifeless, stopped nearby, car and followed the fleeing car. Both cars stopped in front of the University Hospital, the woman was carried in. For nearly an hour doctors worked with grave expressions on their faces, last unassisted. As she did so the officer touched her on the arm, hustled her into a patrol and took her to the Western police station. Next morning the docket read. Bobby Fayson, alias Jerry, 708 Pearl alley, $1 for being drunk on the public street. Four prisoners stood on the business side of the rail in the Northwestern station Monday. They were Percy Thomas, 1537 N. Glimor street, Robert Carter, James Carter, and Linda Linden, of age 14. Striker street, it seems, according to the officer's story that Thomas and the Carter brothers were having a little trouble in an alley in the rear of the latter's home Sunday. Clothes, helmet faces and torn clothes caused the to think that a fight was in progress, but undoubtedly he was sadly mistaken. "We were only playing.
