C.--The North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company expects to take in premiums amounting to two million and a quarter dollars this year. This is the work sent down the line from President C. C. Spalding to 1,200 state superintendents, district managers and agents in the 12 states of the black belt, all of them south of the Mason Dixon Line. Twenty-seven years ago when the company was started by John Merick, Dr. A. M. Moore and C. C. Spalding, the premium income for this first year was just $40. There has not enough to pay the salary of all others, let alone the three and the records show that the trimin- sive served six years without salary, but the health care however were just a healthy infant in 1919 for the first time into the million dollar class. Since then its increase in business has averaged quite $200,000 a year until last year when it reached the two million dollar mark—the largest rate of increase in the United States perhaps in the world.

Gregg, of Hampton, into a corner with some nonsensical questions on social equality according to the current issue of the Crisis. Trouble surfaces. Crisis declares the Denishawn players came to Hampton Institute and danced. The colored folk flocked to see them and the white people wanted to come also. They were welcomed. But there were no special seats for them apart at all of the college. The university had been Friar University they would have been furnished separate seats, separate windows to buy their tickets and separate air to breathe. Hampton has not fallen quite so far and so a group of haughty "Anglo-Saxons" stood during the performance and glared at the comfort and the empty benches beside them. The blow fell next day. In a leading editorial the Daily Press thundered. "Here in this old Virginia community, rich in history and tradition, here where the first permanent, white man's settlement was made, there is an institution where, in touch with those social equality between the white and Negro races... Entertainment are freely patronized by white men and wo- U. S. WEATHER REPORT Showers Temperature about Normal Sunrise: 5:25 a. m. Sunset: 6:51 p. m.

Farmhand Killed By His Tractor (By Leonard Massenburg) Swedesboro, N. J.-Harry Durham, a farmhand, was instantly killed on a tractor. He was operating turned over backwards, pinning him to the ground with the steering wheel pressing on his chest. Durham had been ploughing and the tractor mired in the ground and could not be moved.

There is no pretense of separating the races in the auditorium. To the contrary, the whites are informed that if they attend the entertainments they must come on the same term as the Negroes." James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton, was terribly alarmed at this attack. He leaped into the lists with a letter eight inches long, one-half of which was devoted to protesting that Hampton does not believe in "amalgamation." Naturally the Daily Press presses him into a corner and yells: Do not white and colored folk at Hampton meet as social equals? Do they not sometimes eat together? Are not Hampton students taught the equality of races? Was not Booker Washington entertained socially by Hampton trustees in the North and are not black Moton and White Gregg often thus entertained together? What shall Principal Gregg answer? Next month the Crisis will tell him what to answer VIRGINIA MOB METHODISTS IN OF 1,000 SEEKS 108TH ANNUAL FAKE RAPIST SESSION HERE Briston, Va.-A mob of 1, 000 persons aided by the entire police force and accompanied by bloodhounds gave up a search of a colored man supposed to have committed rape upon an 11 year old white girl last week after they found out it was a joke. In the meantime nearly ever foot of nearby counties was searched over, homes of colored persons entered and persons on the street held up in the effort to find traces of the alleged assailant. The girl was 11 year-old Thelma McCary. She came to the Sixth Street filling station about 1:15 Monday afternoon and told several men that a colored man had attacked her on the road a few hundred yards away in broad day light. The child seemed to be in a nervous state and her clothing was torn. The police half hour the entire white citizenry turned out and formed a mob. According to the child's story, she was on her way back home from school to get a geography when a colored man who stopped her suddenly stepped from behind a large rock by the roadside, confronted her and told her that someone on the knobs wanted to see her. This led the roadway of the Sixth street extension. The child badly frightened tried to back away but the Negro seized her and placed a large revolver against her chest and warned her not to scream. In his struggle to subduce her he choked her and ripped her clothes from her shoulders. When she finally pulled from his grasp, the child ran, fearing to look back. She crossed the footing and got until she met a man on the railway. He accompanied her to the Sixth Street filling station where a call was put in for the officers. News Spread Quickly News of the occurrence spread like wilt-fire over Bristol and in less than an hour after the attack more than 100 men were assisting police in effort to locate and arrest the Negro. Two Negroes were arrested as a result of telephone calls made to nearby places by local police. One of these was at Bluff City and another at Bluntville. The little girl was taken to both places by Roosevelt Road. Roosevelt Road but was unable to identify either of the two Negroes who were subsequently released. Assallant Minutely Described The child described her assailant as follows: light complexion, about a feet 6 inches tall, dressed in gray suit, gray flat-top hat, white shirt with blue stripes, tuxedo and a bow tie. He is said to have a mole on the right cheek. White hair and a fanned body of men heard the pathetic story from the lips of the little child it brought tears to the eyes of a number of the crowd. Owners of twenty-five automobiles offered themselves at once and the search began. Confession Is Made Then in the midst of all this turmoil came Thelma's confession. She said no one attacked her, that she spread the alarm because she was late for school and was afraid her father would whip her for it. I tore my dress to help make the men believe me. "I am afraid of anything about such an occurrence for I did not know it would cause all this trouble or I would never have told the tale." Won Restaurant On Wedding Bet Metuchen, N. J. (A. N.

Official Organ In Drive To Pick Up Lost Circulation AVERAGE IS 34,909 Figures Show Publication Has Lost 60,000 Readers In Six Years Years New York—The "Crisis," official monthly organ of the N. A. A. C. P. will change its form with the new law in an effort to get back the 60,000 cir- culation lost, in the last six years. The change of form is predicted in the annual report of the N. A. A. C. P. which was made public last week. Statistics below showing the ups currencies of the Crisis in the past 15 years are taken from the annual reports. Year Income Cir.

It was $15,000 million. In the past six years the circulation and the receipts have steadily dropped until at least two-thirds of the readers' number, and near zero receipts. Financial Depression In his report six years ago, Dr. W. E. H. DuBois, director of the *The Crisis* declared that the loss of readers was due to the poor financial depression and the fact that many people were out of work. This year his report states in the same way, "The Crisis is feeling somewhat the effects of the industrial depression in the field which it has so long dominated. In the end the crisis has become the proposal to meet the situation in the most intelligent way. The Crisis is still preeminently the leading Negro magazine, its near-fourth of its circulation. Of the policy and contents of *The Crisis* the readers are still the best judges. We have sought to vary the content of the same time keep it true to its chief mission. Beginning with the thirteenth volume in May 1925, *The Crisis* will change its form and its extent." "Efforts have been made to secure specific financial aid for a survey of Negro education, and the survey will not pay; but if the investigation can be financed, The Crisis will publish a series of statistical articles each year, showing the condition of Negro school education in the South."

GREEKS OVERWHELM MORGAN DRIBBLERS Athenians Close Basket Season With 70-27 Win Over College Quintet "CHIPPY" TAYLOR LED The "Ghost" With 13 Field Goals Won High Point Scoring Honors The Athenians led the Morgan College quintet a merrie chase on the floor of the New Albert Friday night, and after 40 minutes of play the Greeks had the College boys on the short end of a 70-27 score. This game closed the basketball season for the Eastern champions with only one loss on local territory and that to the 140th Regiment, the first of the season by one point. The speed artists jumped into an early lead and at the end of the first period the school boys were behind a 31-14 score. 13 Goals for Taylor "Chippy" Taylor, the "ghost," simply ran wild shooting goals from all sorts of impossible angles for the total of 13 for 26 individual points. Todd, a new recruit from Atlantic City, substituted in center during the last half. The Seahorse pivot lacks the experience and control of the tall Greek center, "Herb" the "Killer." Butler in the Game Wheatley and Butler make a smooth working guard combination and what "Ev" lacks in weight is made up in speed. Butler was in the game every second he was in the game. The Morgan drummers were crippled due to the absence of Mack Payne, their star guard but Hawkins their star guard by the face of such overwhelming odds. Sheffey, the "Flash" with four foul shots, scored by Young with three. Hawkins played a rather hawkard game at forward and soon gave way to Smith.

Attempts To Get Chick Suggs To Throw Boston Scrap Failed New England Champion Refused To Be Led By Gamblers In The Mickey Travers Fight. Suggs Kayoed His Opponent And Had to Run to Escape the Wrath of the Speculators Let Mannie Cover Your Head Eurotr's Nove- This is the third installment of the story of the life and battling career of "Chick" Suggs running exclusively in Basketball at the most prominent contender for the world's bantamweight title, now held by Phil Rosenberg. Early in 1917, mutual friends brought "Chick's" budding future to the attention of Al Cassidy, who was at that time New Bedford's most enduring friend. Satisfactory arrangements were made and Suggs then blossomed forth as one of the most promising youngsters. He did very well under Cassidy's able and careful handling. Too well, in fact, for before even his astute manager realized it. "Chick" had begun to tough boys and very soon AI was faced with the old dilemma of trying to find boxes anywhere near Suggs's conclusions in the rime with him. Dodgers It had become almost as difficult a proposition to shoot fighters into the ring to box Suggs as it is supposed to be with Pumas. The Pumas lose from a good old American cartwheel. After considerable negotiation with Pumas, they get "Chick" a bout in Boston with Mickey Travers. This bout was to be staged in the Arena and all "Chick" was to get for it was $25 and his car was to be staged. One of the most interesting sidelights of this period of the little man's career was his passage at arms with a ring of Boston gamblers who brought him a fight. It is worth repeating because it portrays as well as anything can, the sound of character way he used in climbing to the top. Wise Money A few moments before the time set for Suggs and Travers to enter the ring, some of the gambling syndicate approached Cussidy and suggested that they could make it well worth his while if Suggs would do a flop. He chased them out of the dressing quarters only to have them come back with offers ranging up to $200. When they found they couldn't do business through Cassidy, the boys who wagered the so-called "wise money," got through his protecting lines and interviewed Suggs in his dressing room. Here they pleaded, threatened and cajoled but all "Chick" did was listen. They went out apparently satisfied that Suggs had been properly impressed and the scrap was "in the bag" for Travers. When Suggs and the Connecticut had entered the ring, Travers was a heavy favorite to win by a knockout. The "wise boys" had done their work. Travers Kayood In the first round Suggs couldn't get going. Travers showered him with gloves and seemed to have him hopelessly outclassed. The odds on Suggs E. YOUNG CROWNED MARBLE CHAMPION E. YOUNG CROWNED MARBLE CHAMPION At Duel Hill Park, Monday, E. Young was crowned the school-boy champion of the midshooters. The winners of the four preliminary contests were S. Stewart, G. Moore, E.

He couldn't give a fight then if he had tried to pick one on the street. "Chick" Suggs was someone to be tallied of but not to be mingled with inside the squared circle. Hence he had to turn to something else. Young people were not sure someone else would pay the grocer's bills and keep the landlord good humored. He took a job at the Coddling Point naval camp where a big construction project was being carried out. "Chick" put his 118 pounds on the business arm and back he had never suspected he put a pick and shovel and discovered, minutely, a lot of muscles in his before. This went on for a time with "Chick" infrequently squeezing in a body armor. He wasn't getting anywhere and the prospects of his ever getting out of the ranks of the pork and beans were dimmer than a candle and he wasn't with a 600 candlepower incandescent. lengthen and the boys came out for the second round. "Smuck!" The first thing "Chick" did in the second frame was to land his right flush on Mickey's chin, and he would then jump his feet from under him. He got up before the count of ten and collided with another crashing fist. Once more his shoulder blades fell into the reins. He was thrown off and immaturely went down and stayed down. The gamblers went wild. They surged around Singgs as he made his way down the dressing room and in general carried on in a most menacing manner. Cassidy and his little charge had to make the club without taking a heating. Plays Squaro "Chick" won that sort, got his $25, but was a long time getting unhappy. He wouldn't play the game the way those in control of the sport at that time wanted him to. If Suggs had been at all included, he would be a business man in the game. He would quite a pile of coin of the realm for a few years a little. But he preferred to now to the stage and play everything above board and let every scrap on its merits. That right would prevail in the end, was his creed. He was the most popular, most respected and highly admired performers in the game today. The question for squareness and honesty is unquestioned no matter where he shows. His quiet, unobtrusive manner and his exemplary mode of living have won him the sincerest admiration, so much successful battles hit the chute that leads to oblivion simply because they couldn't keep a level hold. The age old appeal of the white lights, the pleasant purr of the idle flickers, of perquisite hangers on touches of awering chord on the top of St. James's. Becomes A Benedict Naturally industrious, unselfish and thoughtful towards the rest of his family, "Chick" tended strictly to his fisting and also made him his own cooks for the family he was strenched in. In February 1915—Washington's birthday, to be exact—"Chick" took upon himself the responsibilities of a man. He took for his bride Miss Elizabeth Spicer, a Staten Island girl of his own age. They were so young that it was necessary for them to add a few years to their marriage; they could obtain a marriage license. This bit of pardonable prevaition was accomplished without difficulty. Chick became an honest待递物 with his wife and wife all his own to work, save and strive for. **Gets Pick Job** At that time the boxing business, so worth "Chick" to him, would not a whit as a form of steady Call VErnon 6017 WARD MEE WNED CHAMPION Monday, E. e school-boy's shooters our preliminary Stewart, G.

SPORTS MIRROR BY AERO SPORTS EDITOR CARROLL TO RUN FOR THE AFRO John Carroll, who won the Baltimore Health Week marathon, will represent the AFRO in the 2-mile run in the National Open Championships and Interscholastic Track and Field Meet to be held November on May 2. THE AFRO was the main factor in "finding" Earl G. L. Mackey Johnson, Olympia star and champion cross country runner. Several other noted athletes found their legs under the supervision of the Baltimore paper. His American Baltimore athlete, will enter the 440-yard run, the 220-yard dash and the 16-pound shot. Tom Wheatley of the Athenian A. A. will compete in at least two events as well as Walter Eubanks. THEY ARE OFF! Beginning this week, 16 clubs, eight in the East and a like number in the West will begin a mad race for the Eastern champions in what has been predicted with his American basketball year in the history of the game space will be annexed to the great American game this year as each club will put forth extra effort to win the coveted world championship. The history making Kansas City Monarchs, with their club practically intact, will make another run to the title in the West. Rune Post and his American Giants are strong contenders for first place and are out to give the champions battle. The Hildale club and winners of the Eastern league pennant will try to duplicate again this year, but will find their stiffest opponents the Black Sox of Baltimore. Only one chance has been made in the line up of the Sox. Johnson of Kansas City will replace Johnston of last year's team. MUNGIN LOOKS LIKE A "FIND" If spring training means anything, manager Beckwitt's lads are ahead of everything else in the circuit. They have not lost a practice game all season and have swamped every team played. Mungin, an unknown from the Pacific coast, showed plenty of class in his last two starts. He has speed, courage and the greatest asset of all II. Jeffries, third baseman, will be the Sox lead-off man, followed by Holloway, Beckwith, third baseman, I am sure all terrific iters. Holloway will be moved over to centerfield," said "Beck" this week, and I expect him to have another good year. All wide ones going to be speared by the "Babe." Last but not least, Pete Hill will be called in to bat in a pinch. With 9th in the big show, I am starting in better condition than ever and with every player pulling together I can't see why we won't finish on top. INDOOR SPORT The latest indoor sport among the heavyweight milt pushers of the country is laying claiming to "Dodging" Jack Dempsey's rather undistinct hand and with every player pulling together I can't see why we won't finish on top. "Nobody" will convince us George is not the best heavyweight boxer now boxing, unless he beats George," said Godfrey's manager. That gives George a chance to claim the title. Bibbons claimed it because he knocked out poor old Kid Norfolk. Bob Lawson has more right to claim the tarnished crown than Gibbons because the Georgia fighter certainly made a better showing against Norfolk than the Sox heavyweight. And it certainly funny the logical claim has never put in a bid for the diadem. Instead of claiming the title, Wills has been patiently watching and waiting, to these many years for the opportunity to earn Dempsey's headpiece. WILLS HAS CLAIM TO TITLE If Wills would come forth and claim the title, there wouldn't have been the big laugh to go with it. Wills challenged in good faith-FIRST and put his money UP. Dempsey would not accept the challenge and got in with the New York Yankees. Wills is the man to do Now the rider of freight trains has decided to ride to Europe in palatial style accompanied by his new wife and it is said on good authority that he will be the first to do so. The ex-hobo has more money than he ever knew was in the world, but as a "fool and his money soon parted," and the only match the public is interested in is a, Wills-Dempsey go, the champion will sooner or later be begging for the chance to rehabilitate his bank account. WITH THE BOWLERS Thirty-nine teams are organized and will meet the Duck Pin tournament at the Bowling Center. Some very credible marks have been made by the bowlers in this comparatively new sport in Baltimore. Ladies are taking to the game and are "rolling their own" like veterans. The Tattlers are the most outstanding team of the fair sex. There are several individual rollers who would make a formidable ladies' team. A frequent question often discussed by some of the best bowlers is: "AGAIN what number 10 pin invariably stands in?" This question is answered by Jimmy Smith, who is recognized as the world's greatest bowler, as follows: ALL PINS DO NOT FALL BACKWARDS One reason is that you are 63 feet away from the headpin and the pins move so fast in the crash that no human eye can follow them. All of them are hit by the ball, but spin around when driven from the spot by the fast moving ball. You are also to remember that in one delivery of the ball, that is spinning, you are not going to hit the ball, but will result in you vary as little as one inch with a straight bail in so placing it, the variation at the pins, sixty-three feet away will be even more and you are so far away you cannot discover the difference, so oftentimes the ball will strike the pin or the skier hit you did not—and there is the No. 10 pin sticking to prove it. A PLUMP HIT LIKELY MEANS A HIT If you hit the No. 1 and No. 3 pips plum, you may expect strikes, but if you hit the No. 1 or 3 thin or light either the 8-10 or No. 10 is apt to stand. When this happens, go to work to find the reason and if after trying out delivery with more hook or less hook, or reversing, or straight ball, you still get the same results, then you am safe in believing it is due to the hook poured into kickbacks through constant hammering of the pins and balls. Some claim that the cause for No. 10 pin standing is that the length and width of the alley beds, size of the ball and its weight and also its speed, has never been scientifically worked out to produce mathematical rules." Office Consultation and Treatment $2 DR. ROBERT X. GIERING PETER B. Carroll is only 18 years of age and has been running three years. He was on the winning mile relay team that defended Washington last September in a dual meet at Carroll Park. Carroll, also won the hop-step and jump event in the 120 pound class with a leap of 39 feet. In October, Carroll, running in a large field of favorites won the mile run and was on the team that placed first in the mile relay. In the Howard县 went on to more than a dozen more junior track artists, but the fragile youngster is confident of making a good showing. THEY ARE OFF!

C., against the State Normal School proved to be a great disappointment to the Howard coach and team, when they found that one official of the school had hired three men to win the game for them who had not been in school, namely, Davis and Hodges who were pitchers, and Richardson a catcher. There also odds, Howard fought a hard battle, only to be handicapped more by poor officiating and quarrelling and unsportsmanishness in team and spectators of State Normal. The game ended 11-0 after a long drawn out battle. Roy and Long were the best pitchers in the sportsmanship displayed by the Howard players working against odds was outstanding.

The composer, who is pronounced the composition beautiful both in construction and tonal beauty. It is also conceded that the composer has caught the spirit of the Negro and has beautifully dignified them. The weird natural harmonies, the unusual slides in the tonal effects and the long sustained notes are characteristic of this music treated in this work. The tempo too, to which the nirs are sung and played by the improviser has been wonderfully reproduced by the writer. Sudduths Used The rhapsody starts with a slow introduction in which cellos and violas in unison project, "Nobody Knows What I Am," and in the following sequence "Peter Go Ring Dem Bells."

Dr. Goldmark is one of the most eminent musical authorities in Ameri- he is president of the Bo- mber of the Jullandi Foundation which has helped many deserving but poor students to secure a place in the music world. Shakes Wilson's Hand After the rehearsal on Sunday afternoon, W. Llewellyn Wilson supervisor of music in the public schools, was presented to Dr. Goldmark through the courtesy of Frederick R. Huber, municipal director of music. The distinguished musician reflected much pleasure when told by the supervisor that he had struck a Negro chord in a manner that was a faithful portrayal of the spiritual, and that a great service had been done in preserving them in their purest form with such wonderful technical structure and beautiful tonal quality. Once Taught Burleigh Dr. Goldmark also recalled having been an instructor of Harry T. Burleigh at the National Conservatory of Music, saying that the latter was one of the most promising young men that he had ever instructed. He also recalled Will Murion Cook who was enrolled at the same time, but said that Cook was in another department. The composer said that Negroes have a wealth of beautiful melodies as their heritage, and that they should "dig under the surface" to acquire technical perfection.

Tested Beauty Hints FOR BRITTLE NAILS Dip your finger tips in warm olive oil every night or anoint the nails with vaseline. This will keep them from breaking so easy. Never cut them with the scissors, but file them with a flexible steel file in a curve that will conform to the tips of your fingers. When the vaseline is used persistently, usually a gentle buffing with a chamois-covered buffer is all one needs for polishing. Otherwise, a pink cream polish is used before the dry powder is applied. Gently push back the cuticle with an orangewood stick, working from the center up the sides. Company Dinner Story As we were getting seated at the dinner table, three unexpected guests arrived. There were only enough fresh cookies on the pate for our family, so when I noticed the three extra plates I hurriedly flow to the cellar for a peep into the cookie jar. There I found a handful, which were more than a week old. I decided to put them on the table, anyway, and instructed the children to take these and leave the fresh cookies for the company. As usual, Betty was ready first, and asked, "Mother, may I have a cookie with the white frosting on?" "Aw," piped up Eddie, "didn't you hear mother tell us that we had to eat the dried-up ones?"—MRS.

Wolfe To sit among a group of eager children with shining eyes and expectant faces is an inspiration to any storyteller. One is filled with ambition; to fail would be disastrous. We hear much about the kind of story we are to tell, and with regard to this wise ones differ. Let us study the child first—then the story. Some people think that myths and fairy tales should not be told to children, that they cause them to become visionary rather than practical. In a very few cases this may be true, but it does not prove that this very strong love of the child is generally harmful or to be discouraged. What a dry, dull world it would be if the children were cut off from all imagination! It peoples the world in which they live with a distinguished company, and entertains them right royalty. The ancient myths of the Old World are ever fresh and new to them. In fact they fascinate both young and old alike—all who love the mysterious and the beautiful. Our Indian legends, too, have charm, and there will be found plenty to agree that many of the more modern fairy tales are very much worth while. Said a noted educator: "Much of the selfishness of the world is due, not to actual hard-heartedness, but to a lack of imagination." If our nature stories do not bring the children closer to nature, their object is lost. "They do not so much need 'Nature as she is taught,' but Nature as she speaks-while we are silent." Let it be to each child as it was to Hla-watha: "He learned of every bird its language. Learned their names and all their secretes." Stories are extremely valuable as a means of moral training. There are no wrong inclinations or weak points that may not be reached by the story, if skillfully told. Very important is it, that we have genuine fun in our stories. While life is serious, there are certain rights inherent in childhood, of which one is genuine mirth. While we quicken the wits and impart sound wisdom, let us teach the science and art of happiness. "When I'm tired, what gives me rest—Is to hear a little child Gurgle out in laughter wild, And just laught and laugh its best." The faculty of putting oneself in the place of others is of great service to the cause of morality, and this faculty may be cultivated by means of fairy stories. As a rule, children are in sympathy with all creatures; as they follow the story they share the joys and sorrows of Ulysses, Snow White and Rose Red or the Ugly Duckling. It is the exception when we meet a child who has not his share of imagination. Occasionally we do meet a Peter Bell, to whom "A primrose by a river brim A yellow primrose was to him. And it was nothing more." While developing the imagination is desirable, too much of fairyland is to be avoided. Lead the child to see beauty in commonplace things. A piece of coal, a drop of water, a bean, each has a life history which in the hands of a skillful teacher becomes as beautiful and mysterious as any fairy tale.

Parts of the picture were very sad and I wiped away tears a number of times. Before leaving I took what I thought to be my compact and powdered my eyes, also my nose. We started out, and, glancing into a mirror, I saw to my horror that my nose and eyes were a fiery red. I had used my rouge box in my confusion to erase the evidences of my emotion. Fortunately I was able to slip into the rest room and wash off the rouge before many persons had seen me.—MRS. A. R., Huntington, W. Vn. DO'S AND DON'TS FOR HUSBANDS Make your wife a real partner.

DUZ "Abundant Suds even in hard water" "No washboard rubbing any more!" Household Suggestions When fruit has fermented, reheat it, add a little sugar, and make into pies or tarts. Before heating milk in a saucepan, rinse the pan with water, and it will not scorch so easily. To freshen shredded coconut, soak it in sweet milk a few minutes before using it. Bread should never be wrapped in a cloth, as the latter absorbs moisture and imparts an unpleasant taste. To roll a jelly-roll without cracking, it, turn it out of the baking-pan on a cloth wrung out of cold water. As you spread with jelly, the steam from the wet cloth will prevent cracking, and help you do a neat job. How many ever tried adding a little baking powder to boiled ice for makes? It is also good to add to mash-d potatoes, as it makes them light and fluffy. Try pouring a cupful of erosene down the sink; it will kill dors and will not injure the pipes. When you have overalls to wash, try soaking them for several hours in ear, cold water, then lay them on the dashboard, and scrub with a kitchen crubbing-brush. You will find the labor greatly reduced, and the color will remain fast through a good many washings. Rinse and hang in the hade, dripping; after a thorough baking, they will dry smooth. Have you a pair of silk stockings in which a thread has been dropped, making a run? Try using a fine crochet-took to mend it. Pick up the dropped titch and continue crocheting all long the raveled part, taking care to pick up every thread as you work, and fasten the last stitch securely with needle and thread. If two or more stitches have been dropped, the titch is wider, but continue working each stitch in a straight line. If the work is carefully done, the mend will hardly be detected. When making nightgowns for the aby, use snaps to fasten them. They are much handier, and save sewing on cuttons or hunting safety-pins. Blackberries and apples make a nice combination for pie, as dose rhubarb and ineapple. Take a can of shredded inapple, and a can of rhubarb, weeten and bring to a boil, then add tablespoonful of cornstarch dissolved in a little cold water. Bake with two crusts. I have three little ones, two boys of four and two years, and aaby girl of five months, and greatly appreciate any suggestions on child-raining. Don't throw away old inner tubes, or very handsome pocketbooks, can an be made of them. A leather punch and a pair of scissors are the only tools required. Cut in two pieces and lace together with narrow strips, through holes punched evenly on the edge. Cut deep fringe which may be added or a part of original pieces.

However a charge of practicing medicine without a license has been preferred against him. Saturday the "voodoo" man was visited by a local theatrical man who desired the "doctor" to place his name on a contract for his appearance at a local theatre. The police authorities declared they would prevent his appearance on the stage in this city. But it was not known whether he did so or not. Patrolman Howard Fisher, the colored officer who arrested Hyghcock, and exposed one of the greatest sensations in this city declared Friday that he had begun to feel the "spell" of the medicine man's curse, was reported worse Saturday. Fisher remained on duty Friday morning, although he declared he was seeing stars, hearing bells ringing and felt the spell of the witch doctor gripping him. Friday night, Fisher requested permission to report off duty, with the announcement that he was getting worse. It was granted. Samuel Brown, a former patient of the medicine man, levied on the effects of Hyghcock's house to satisfy a judgment of $1,134.88 obtained here in November, 1924. Bought Love Powder He sued to recover money paid the doctor for treatments and love powders. In addition to paying $75 for a belt which the voodoo man said would keep away evil spirits. Brown bought a powder which the "doctor" stipulated would make his girl love him more. He also bought a powder to use on his hands to enable him to lick an enemy. When he tried it the enemy licked him. Brown also bought powders to cure disease. The attachment was secured by former Judge French as counsel or Brown, and stipulated that everything in his house be seized. Practically Wrecked Home "Dr." Hyghecock, may bring some kind of a suit against somebody for wrecking his house, destroying his personal property and allowing an enthusiastic souvenir-hunting public to trample through his place and carry off everything but the voodoo himself. 25c Sale The grocery buying power of 25c is astoundingly increased in this special sale event.

Up To Grand Jury The charge against Hyghcock will go to the grand jury. You is accused of practicing medicine without license and obtaining money under false pretenses. Hyghcock's houses are in a state of confusion, bureau and trunks dumped out, beds upset and partitions constructed by the voodoo man have been ripped from the walls and thrown into the street. Window frames, were removed from the buildings to make it easier for firemen to get rid of the refuse and even these have not been replaced. Fill Up Tunnels The back yard has been left a gasping chasm where firemen and police tore the roof from the voodoo caves and only partly filled the hole. Late this afternoon, the police department was notified by the owner of the property to fill the large holes in the rear yard of Hyghcock's houses in which he rented. Workmen began to carry out the order. Traffic Halted Hyghcock caused quite a stir on Market street shortly before noon when he appeared with his seven-year-old daughter. Traffic was at a stand still and officers, were unable to keep it moving. While Hyghcock seemed greatly amused at the excitement he was causing on the busy thoroughfare.

B-A-T-O-U-A-L-A Translated from the French and Copyrighted by Thomas Seltzer, New York Page Ten A CHAUTER IV. The full moon traversed the region of the stars. The festival of the ga'nzas was about to begin. What a stroke of good fortune! A week before, the commandant had left Grimari on a tour of inspection in the neighborhood of Bamayassi. The billy-goat away, the nanny-gonts will play. Swarms of natives overran the grounds of the Government station—the only place that offered room enough for the full sweep of the various figures and the dance of the warriors. A large empty space, as broad as it was long, reached from the commandant's house down to the Bembe. And only one man had been left in charge, only one native gendarme, one tourougou, Boula, for whom the natives didn't give a tinker's curse—Boula in sole charge of the administration building and annexes, the training-camp, and the guard-house. Who really did care about a koulougoulou—the nickname they had given Boula because, they said, he crawled like a milleped. The fanzas not having arrived yet, the yangba was not in full swing, but the indications were that it was going to, he wonderful. A dozen l'nghas scattered about seemed to be waiting expectant. These were not ugly little tom-toms, dirty from use, weatherbeaten, worm-eaten. On the contrary, each of them visibly swelled with pride over its double convexity, the great round of an anormous tree-trunk patiently hollowed out. They had been given a pale coat, made of mixed white clay and manlac meal, with a broad band of red running lengthwise and breadthwise. On the ground were spread baskets of millet, manioc cakes, whole clusters of bananas, dishfuls of caterpillars, eggs, fish, bitter tomatoes, wild asparagus. There were quantities of meats, either sun-dried or grilled over a fire—antelope meat, elephant meat, quarters of wart-hog and buffalo. There were the tubers that the whites despised—dazos, for example, every bit as good as their white potatoes. There were bangas or sweet potatoes, both the red-skinned and the yellow-skinned ports. There were baba's-sos or yams. There were great jars brimming over with the drink made of fermented millet, or malze. And there were a few bottles of pernod. The Pernod had been bought from the boundjoudoulis (white tradesmen) and was reserved for the chiefs, head-men and elders. From the numerous fires arose volumes of smoke, black, heavy, and very pungent from the damp wood. The roads from Kama, Pangakoura, Pouyamba, and Kakidjil swarmed with the latecomers hastening toward these fires visible from afar—men, women, children, boys, boycesses, slaves, dogs. They had come, and still were coming, from their kagas, their chickets, their muddy patas-patas, or their plantations, armed with arrows and javelins, and carrying burning pieces of wood to light their way in the wooded strips through which they had to pass before they reached the small lakes. The women, as soon as they arrived, set right to work with their koulourou to pound the maize and millet and manioc into meal and while pestles banged in wooden mortars they sang the song of the kouloungoulou. The kouloungoulou, as is known, lives in dung. That's all he eats, too, they say. Think of it! Kouloungoulou, kouloungoulou. Koulougoulou, ho! Ia-hey! His wealth consists of but one thing. He got it from the boundjou (white man). And excellent husband that he is. He passed it to his yasal. She passed it to their daughter. Koulougoulou, koulougoulou, Koulougoulou, ho! Ia-hey! How is it that we saw a koulougoulou. Wearing a tourougou's chechita. Passing through our lovely fields? Yassia, yassia, care; beware Of the filth koulougoulou. He's no friend for you. Koulougoulou, ho! Ia-hey! Koulougoulou, koulougoulou. There were bursst of laughter. The merriment became general. They laughed for the sake of laughing. They talked without knowing just what they were going to say; the keno was already working. They drank maize-beer on top of millt- beer, and drank and drank without cease. A wonderful gathering! All the M'bis and all the N'gapus were there with their elders. Batuolaa and his old parents formed the centre of a group of chiefs and their head-men. He held forth. The death of several whites had been reported at Bangul. . .

"You know, Batouala, I have just come back from Krebedge," said Pangakouha, the great Mandjain chief. "One learns a good deal travelling, doesn't one? For example, that the whites don't like each other. Here's proof, absolute proof—I had a complaint to make against a Portuguese, and I went to the commandant, the one we call Kotaya on account of his huge punch. I told him my story, trimming it up a little, of course. "Pangakoura,' he said, 'you certainly are an idiot, the most idiotic idiot I've ever come across. What! you poor old dunderhead, don't you know a Poutriquess doesn't count? Listen. At the beginning of things—you follow me, do you?—at the beginning of things the N'Gakoura of the whites took the best he had on hand and created the whites. Then he gathered together the leavings and created the dirty niggers like you. Much later, he wanted to make the Portuguese and looked about for something to create them from. There was nothing left but the offal of the blacks. Out of that he knaned the first Portuguese.'" Volleys of laughter. "Don't you think that the drop in the price of rubber is an unexpected piece of luck for us?" asked Batouala . "Even if the commandant had been away, we should not, but for this chance, have been able to come here to the Government grounds to warm our livers. There would have been one of those wretched boundjoudoullis on the spot to make us pay a pata, yes, five francs, for what the whites wouldn't have to pay more than a meya, ten sous." "Your words are like clear water," said Yakidji. "We must give thanks to N'Gakoura. All the traders, on account of this happy crisis, have had to go back to Krebedge or Bangui. May they rot to death, their mouths open, their feet in filth." "And that isn't all. Oh, that isn't all, Bataoula," said Yabada. "On account of the grand palayes between the white Zalemans and the white Frandjes, the yongorogombes are going to be shipped to M'Poutou. Yes, they're all going off to war at M'Poutou, all the long muskets,* all the black soldier-trash. Probably our present masters will join them. I myself think they will." "Long muskets" is the nickname for black troops not native to Ubangi-Sharil, but brought by the French from the coast and other districts—Translator's note. Yabao! quavered Batouala's old father, "as sure as my hairs are white, I think you're taking kagas for rivers and your wishes for the reality. Soon it will be three seasons of rains since the Frandjes and the Zalemans have been palatering. Have the Frandjes given any sign of wanting to leave? Not a bit. There's danger over there. Why should they go there to get killed? NU·MAIR TAR·SALVE AND SALVE MEDICINE THIS CERTIFICATE Mrs. King LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA PRICE 50 CENTS 1510 PENNSYLVANIA AVE. Price 60 Cents Each man looks out for his own skin, Yabada." Louder laughter. "You're always right, elder. I admit it. But will you allow me to hope that the Zalemans will lick the Frandjes?" "Ah, you boundoua Yabada! Zalemans—Frandjes: whites all the same. Why change one for the other? We are under the Frandjes, we know their good qualities and their bad qualities. They play with us like a nioua with a mouse. In the end the nioua always eats the mouse with' which it has played. Since sonor or later we're going to be killed and eaten, what use is there to wish for different niouas than those we have? It's like escaping buffalos to fall into the clutches of a lurking panther." The discussion became general. "He's right. Why change? The new ones might be worse." "They don't like us. And we pay them back in their own coin." "We ought to murder them." "We ought to murder them." "We ought." "We will some day later on." "When the Banziris, Goubous, Yakomas, Sabangas, Dacnas, all, in short, who talk the Banda or the Mandjila or the Sango language, stop their old quarrels." "That will be when the Bembe flows backward." "And Macoude catches the moon in his nets." Laughter again, so long and loud that one scarcely heard a great noise that sounded in the distance. "Or you are all sons of a dog," cried Batoula under the influence of pipe and dring. "Or else you are all drunken than I am. Are you men, yes or no? Have the bazzinguers of Snoussi castrated you? I don't know. At any rate I for my part can't help cursing the whites. I remember the time when the M'bis lived peacefully along the Niou-Bangul, between Bessou-Kemo and Kemo-Oudda. As soon as the first whites appeared, the most of us picked up our fetishes, our pots, poultry, mats, dogs, women, goats, children, ducks, and withdrew to the country near Krehedge. "I was very little then. "There were struggles; there were huts to build and fields to sow. All useless. The whites settled at Kro-bedge. "Another move. We liked Griko. We halted at Griko. The same difficulties getting established there; but we thought we'd be able to draw a peaceful breath. Wrong! The whites—the whites again!—descended on Griko. "We started off once more. To Grimari. There was a fine location for us in Grimari between the Bembe and the Pombo. We settled there. Alas! before we had completed our building and planting the whites were upon us again. By that time we were worn out and discouraged. Besides, we had lost so many men taking land away from others by force that we were afraid our tribe might be destroyed. So we stayed where we were, and looked pleasant. . . ." The great noise in the distance drew nearer. "No use. Our submissiveness did- Acts directly upon the scalp and Roots of the hair; stops the Hair from falling out and removes Dandruff and gives new life and full growth.

McMechanic Street Cumberland, Md. n't bring us the good will of the whites. Not content with trying to suppress our customs, they wanted to impose theirs on us. We had no right to play patara for money. We had no right to get drunk. Our singing and dancing interfered with their sleep. But—pay them a tithe, and they'd deign to put up with our singing and dancing. Pay, pay, pay, always pay! The Government treasuries are insatiable. "Yet after all, we'd give into them, the mean bullies, if only they applied the same logic to themselves that they do to us. They don't. Listen. Two moons ago that beast Quorro, drunk as a white man, beat up one of his yassis. She was bruised and swollen from head to foot. Blame him if you feel like it. But who of you—ch?—has never beaten his yassi? "The jade actually went to the commandant to complain. It so happened that he had several white guests stopping with him. As a rule, he is that rare thing among the whites—sober. On this occasion he was full to toppling over. He ordered a tourougou to palce Ouorro under arrest. The tourougou carried out his orders rather gently, and the commandant went into a fury and threw an empty bottle at his head. The tourougou fell down, the blood streamed from his forehead. He made a face from the pain, and all the whites laughed as though it were a huge joke. That's the way they treat us. "Tahada, see for yourself. Dare to risk two francs at patara under the eyes of the commandant. What'll you get for the awful crime? A lashing with a knotted whip, and with that you'll come off easy. Only the whites may play games of chance." Batouala's eyes were bloodshot, he shouted and stammered. "The whites are good for nothing. They call us liars, and treat us accordingly. Our lilies don't deceive anyone. If we embellish the truth sometimes, it's because the truth isn't good enough; manicoc without salt is sasteless. But the whites! They lie for nothing. They lie with method. They lie by rote, as naturally as they breathe. That's what gives them the advantage over us. "They say the Negroes under one chief hate the Negroes under another chief. La, la! How about the boundjoudoulis, the long muskets, the Mon Peres (priests), and the commandants? Do they agree? And if they don't why should we? A man's a man, no matter what his color, here as well as in M'Pautou." The huge sound in the distance had become more distinct, like the droning of thousands of blue or green youmas (flies) about a carcass. Batouala rose to his feet and shouted and gesticulated. "I will never allow anyone to deny the meanness of the whites. What I blame them most for is their lying and their cheating. The things they didn't promise us! 'Later on,' they said, 'you'll see, it's only for your own good that we force you to work. We'll take only a very, very small part of the money we make you earn. We'll use what we take to build villages for you, roads, bridges, machines that run on iron rails by means of fire.' "Where are they—the roads, the bridges, the wonderful machines? Where I ask. Nowhere! Not a sign of them. Nothing, nothing! And so far from taking only a tiny part of what we earn, they rob us of our last sou. Aren't we to be pitied? I ask you, aren't we to be pitied? "Thirty moons ago we got three francs a kilo for our rubber. Over night the price went down. Without offering the shadow of an explanation, they paid us only fifteen sous for the same quantity of banga—one meya and five bimbas. And the Governor chose that very moment to raise our tax from five to seven and ten francs. "Now there isn't anybody who doesn't know that from the first day of the rainy season we work just to swell the taxes—if not also to fill the pockets of our commandants." "We're nothing but flesh to feed the taxes. We're nothing but beasts of burden. Beasts? Not even that. Dogs? They feed their dogs, and tend their horses. We? We're less than their animals, we're the lowest of the low. They're killing us by slow degrees. . . ." A drunken crowd pressed up behind the group of which Batouala was the centre. They reviled the whites. Batouala was right, a thousand times right. Of old, before the coming of the whites, they had lived happily. THERE ARE OTHER HAIRDRESSERS BUT ONLY ONE Poindexter HAIR CULTURIST MANUFACTURER Saturday, April 25 They had worked a little, for themselves, they had eaten and drunk and slept. From time to time they had had bloody palavers and hed plucked the livers from the dead to eat their courage, and incorporate it in themselves. Such had been the happy days of old, before the coming of the whites. Now they were mere shaves. There was nothing to be hoped for from a heartless race. For the boundjous (whites) were heartless. They deserted their children by Negro women, and these children, knowing they had sprung from the whites, scorned to associate with the blacks. They were full of hate and envy, these boundjouvoukos, these half-whites-half-blacks. They were lazy, mischievous, rotten with vices. As for the white women, no use talking about them. For a long time they were considered precious objects, and were feared and respected like fetishes. Now they had come down a few pegs. Now it was known that they were just as easy as the black women, and more venal, and had vices the black women were innocent of. . . . But what was the use of talking about it? And the white women wished to be respected! Batouaka's father held out his hand. The uproar subsided as if by magic. Not so the sound of music and singing that filled the air. "My children, everything you say is so. Only, you should see there's nothing to be done. Resign yourselves. When the bamara (lion) roars, the antelope fears to bell. You are not the stronger. Keep quiet. "Besides, to be quite frank, we are not here to curse the boundious. "I am old. While you were discussing, my tongue got dry. Let us shout less and drink more. Next to the bed and the easy-chair, Pernod is the most important invention of the boundjous. My eyesight is not so good, but I thought I noticed several bottles of absinthe. Do you mean to brood on them Batouala?" The tension relaxed. They went into fits of laughter. Batouala himself had tears of laughter in his eyes as he hastened to satisfy the waggish old man's desire. (To be continued next week.) Tuesday, 5 P.

Edith Cooper Favors With Proper Grasping Instruction in matters pertaining to sex can be given to high school students profitsfully, providing the proper attention is given to the grouping of sex students, and ensuring to age and previous home training. The person giving this instruction should be one who can approach the subject di- loratically and bring about a sense of concern and seriousness and need for such teaching. PAROLE "BISHOP" ON NON-SUPPORT CHARGE The Rt. Rev. William Wilson of The M. C. E. Church Haled Into Court The Rev. Wilson, who besides his duties as bishop, pastor the Mt. Zion M. C. E. Church at Hanover and Cross streets, was arrested at a church charges that he failed to give her proper support. Because of his inability to obtain bail he remained for some time in the city jail. 10 YEARS BISHOP The Rev. Wilson, one of the five Bishops of the Methodist Christian Episcopal Church, was paroled in Part 2 of the Criminal Court. Months later he supported his wife, Mrs. Carrie Wilson. The Rev. Wilson lives with his wife on Second avenue, Fairfield. He was arrested on a charge of non-violence for a month in default of bail. The Rev. Wilson was appointed Bishop of the Baltimore area when the new seat was formed ten years later. He is now in age in the new domination which was a combination of several faiths. The church conference consisting of about twenty churches was duly cooperated in the courts of Baltimore. At the time the Rev. Wilson was appointed Bishop, four other Bishops were appointed as well as District Superintendents and pastors, the two who were appointed Bishop and Baltimore were included in the jurisdiction of the conference. HOME WAS HEAVEN When asked if she wanted her husband to return, Mrs. Wilson declared that the month her husband spent in jail seemed, like heaven to her and her children.

Refusal of Principal Mason A. Hawkins to permit Dr. S. Bernard Hughes to deliver a university lecture before the male students during Health Week led an Afro reporter to seek views of several civil lilies. A. Hawkins Comments Our motion is that the question of social hygiene should be taken up in small groups and at frequent intervals. It is a matter of developing social hygiene guidance. In a large and unselected group of a thousand or more girls ranging in ages from 10% to 18 or 18 years, there is a great variation in sex development and sex consensuality. Many of these girls are prepubescent, some pubescent and others postpubescent. Speakers on this subject will discuss the heart of the matter. They refer to all types of social diseases and other matters that are entirely alien to the notions of many of their audience. Such discussions to many of the children cannot be without proper facilities for follow up work their curiosity is aroused and they themselves might readily be exposed to the knowledge they require to the adolescent and pre-adolescent should be taken up in the home or by selected teachers in science and home economics classes and in girls and boys' classes. They must be taught in this way for many years in the Doughschool High School. The facilities of our new building will make possible more effective work along this line. A. Physician Approves Yes, high school students should be lectured on the problem of sex, dependent upon the fact that such a vital subject may be presented and explained to the youth. HABERSTEIN HADECOPIS, Chicagoodistrict, 818 Hill Ave. School Association Head Thinks Lectures Préper Yes, I think we should have lectures in high school, as so few parents are prepared to instruct their children properly, to picture the problem. They should be instructed by some prepared person who knows how to approach the subject from the angle of understanding, and that instruction should come from some one who is fully prepared, and how it will be given to some given place where lectures are given by people who are prepared. There are four periods in life that are very few people know, which is the period of preparedness, the second period, 20 years, which is the childbearing period, and is most important in the movement of the period of old age. The child of youth should be instructed along these lines by some one who is interested in the matter. WESTER 1s. Parent's Duty I think that the parents are the ones to lecture on the problems pertaining to an early age. It is the mother's task to begin with, because the father or no one else can get as much attention as well as the girl. The boy would take lectures into consideration more seriously if spoken to by the mother in a quiet setting. The girl is mostly the mother's fault if one girl or boy goes blind into some of the social disease that is so common among the people of the country. I don't think it should be left to the teacher or a lecturer as the subject is a very delicate one. 1579 Dolphin Street. Yes.

Wheatley, president of the Federated-Parent-Teachers' Club, with a delegation, asked why Dr. Walter F. Cobb, director of Physical Education, had not recommended the stadium for the colored children as well as the white for the Health Pageant to be held the latter part of May. The Board seemed in a quandary, no one spoke for several minutes. Theo. E. Straus answered: "have done the best we could." "I don't know any more now than I did at first," declared Mrs. Wheatley. Mrs. John Weylen Brown and Dr. Frank Goodnow, members of the Board also stated they did not understand the situation and Mr. Straus replied that he was "working hard." Other members of the delegation were the Rev. John Colbert, Mrs. James Coulter, Mrs. George Boston, John W. Georgian, and W. W. Secretary of the Urban League. Want School No. 52 the secretary of the Board read a letter from James Grandison, president of School 115. The Board referred the statement of School 115 to the city had cut 32nd Street through from Barclay to Homestead thereby placing one of the schools on the curb, which will necessitate the removal of this building. The children of this school cannot attend School 115. Federal and Carnegie beckuse the distance is too great. Mr. Grandison asked that the white school building. School 52 was moved at present there are only 180 pupils, be turned over to colored children. This school is in the colored neighborhood. The Board referred to the Board of Superintendents. Equalization of Salaries "Letter signed by Dr. H. S. McC. William L. Fitzgerald, ATC. William L. Fitzgerald, ATC. kins, asked the Board to assign the salaries of the male and female teachers in the Douglass High School, the letter read in port: "During the past tittle years six teachers have left the colored high school, and a year alone six experienced, capable teachers left for better salaries and six new ones who had never before stood in front of a class were appointed to take their places. Six million and a half dollars the proposition is to get the cheapest faculty possible—not the best. "This is our plea for mercy." Musical Festival Dr. West read Mr. Denues, supervisor of music, recommendations for musical festivals for this school, and for this new children. Mrs. John Wesley Brown asked the Board not to have it held at the Regent theatre, where it has been held formerly, and reopened for the new children, for the white children are held.

HOSPI GOOD MOR GOOD MORNING JUDGE Mistaken Relationship An elderly woman stood before the bar of justice in the Western Police Station Friday morning. A young man stood on the opposite side of the rail. The judge said in accusation place and looked knowingly at the pair. "What's the charge?" asked his honor. The woman brushed away his unlucky and informed the magistrate that the charge was non-support. "I hate to do it Georgia," she said, "but I cannot live off nothing and you think I am able to work." The magistrate reported at the court that "why don't you work?" he blurted, "you are well and strong!" How can you be so heartless as to neglect the poor old woman? "Is your honor," interrupted the young man. "Not a word," said the judge, casting a glance of sympathy at the woman who tucked a strand of gray hair under her arm. Hard-working do you live? "22 Bowers Court. Judge, I don't want to be hard on George, I think he will do right if you tell him, "I hate to do it Georgia," but I have no pity for a man who won't support his dear old mother." "She's not my mother," interrupted George, "that's my wife." The judge was so surprised he did not case without further comment. When Wife Came Back The party would have been a blazing success if Mrs. Eileen Nance, 633 Josephine street, had come home at the most unexpected moment. Mrs. Nance was not scheduled to arrive until the wee hours of the night, so Edwin Nance, the party and invited some of the boys who he ran access in a nearby saloon and a lady friend. Everything was going smoothly, bootleg whiskey flowed freely and a lovely time was had by all. But, there had to be a hit where there were three men, and everybody began. Everybody wanted this one young woman so as in the days of old the began to do what their instincts told them—fight. When the fight in was its height, Mrs. Nance came home, with her she brought an arm of the law and everybody took a ride to the Western. "Judge," said the wife, "I want husband and all these men had my husband down beating him." The magistrate allowed the others to explain, then said "No. It seems that he has best him enough and is going to one him $5. The rest are dismissed." Smith Acts As Judge When the Judge in the Northwestern told Bernard Smith, 1902 Dudl Hill avenue, to sentence Julius Williams, 1109 Stockton street, as he had told him that sentence was going to be. Williams had met Smith on the street and after a few words struck him in the face knocking him down. Smith who was not hurt, thought he had been treated badly and went to the station house seeking justice. Williams faced Smith with tears in his eyes, he pleaded, coaxed and persuaded him to help him all to so avail. "No sir, Judge," said Smith, "he met and accused me of not supporting my wife and that wasn't any of his business. Then he told me the wife's the street, and intend to send him just as far as I can."

We had certain ideas about how such a business should be conducted--and certain ideals about fair dealing, dependable service and courteous treatment. Today, we are still running our business along the same lines. But with this difference: We have grown in size to the point where we can handle any proposition. Our experience enables us to speak with authority on all matters of Real Estate. Years ago—the Astors and the Vanderbilts, then only moderately well-to-do, bought their homes and had vision—and faith. Today everyone knows of their enormous wealth.

The slight effort necessary in arriving on time is soon forgotten and few things will assist as greatly in putting us in tune with our work and in causing the day to pass smoothly and pleasantly. Punctuality creates confidence, and causes others to feel that the one on time is trustworthy. A Sordid Selfishness flowers and blooms along the highways onto the delights of mankind.

Yet, presupposing Governor Ritchie and Police Commissioner Gaither to be sincere and conscientious public officials there must be a negative side of this question, else police examinations would not be closed to colored persons in the city. In the minds of these officials there must be reasons of sufficient number and importance to justify them in the stand they take. There is no better time than now to ferret out these arguments and debate them for what they are worth. Usual scholastic debates feature silly subjects so foreign to the practical life of colored citizens that a change would be welcomed. We suggest that the debate be staged by all means and the governor and police officials be invited as guests or judges.

Am sources and ingenuity of black citizens at home. Followers of Marcus Garvey are asking the question, how shall Africa be redeemed with their leader in prison for five years. The world has a fashion of getting along without old leaders, by the simple method of raising up new ones. Two decades ago before Garvey uttered the war cry of "Africa for the Africans," Bishop H. M. Turner, of the A. M. E. Church, exhorted the South Africans to independence. So potent was his influence that the British government today muzzles every black American missionary before he is allowed to land in British Africa. He must swear not to discuss politics or or he is deported on the first ship. In the past few months Morrocan troops gained notable victories in their fight against Spain for independence. Whole Spanish units were wiped out. Italy is having its hands full in holding rebellious Senussia tribesmen of North Africa in check. Some 22,000 South Africans Kaffir workmen went on a strike against the English government's attempt to stop the brewing of native beer. Evidently in the long run, native Africans will work out their own salvation without outside help. America needs all the resources and ingenuity of black citizens to solve the problems at home. Spring Cleaning time has come, to paraphrase the Walrus eggs, especially of house-cleaning and old joke with men, and one which they can to get them a good laugh, that woman when they are cleaning house. It is that when Father pulls this joke. Mother and him just how much "fun" house-clean whether it is fun or whether it is not, there who didn't feel all happy and contented were all clean and the windows were bright newspapers had been thrown away. The good clean air of spring which makes it in rugs and curtains, and the mist that she windows. or, however, can get back at Father events to. For while she is tossing furniture The time has come, to paraphrase the Walrus, to talk of many things, especially of house-cleaning and gardening. It's an age old joke with men, and one which they always depend upon to get them a good laugh, that women are never happier than when they are cleaning house. It is just as traditional that when Father pulls this joke, Mother must flare up and tell him just how much "fun" house-cleaning really isn't. But whether it is fun or whether it is not, there never was a woman who didn't feel all happy and contented inside when the rugs were all clean and the windows were bright and all the old newspapers had been thrown away. There is something in the good clean air of spring which makes one hate the winter dust in rugs and curtains, and the mist which will gather on the windows. Mother, however, can get back at Father everytime, if she only wants to. For while she is tossing furniture and dust around inside the house, it is altogether likely that Father will be tossing the dirt about in the garden or the back yard and getting ready for his spring spree of planting. And it is these two annual sprees which make our homes the delightful things they are. To really love a home one must work with it, although it would be a highly idealizedaint who would have true thoughts of love for anything while she was in the midst of house-cleaning. The love for the home comes later when the ache is gone from her back and the stiffness from her knees. And the garden is truly a part of the home, as much as the father and mother are two parts of the family. So to make our habitations real homes, Mother must have her annual spring upheaval and Father must dig around in his garden—and the result is HOME.

Picture to yourself a spectacle where 20,000 native calvarymen in rich uniforms and like the salute Picture genuine African boy scouts richly dressed creole maiden, white settlers and native dignitaries and moonlight dances.

Down in our Southland in this land of the free and home and home the genuine boy scouts. Even here in Baltimore, it took a three year determined effort to open the way for official scouts. That way, the scouts mean a place in England. It will mean more to native Africans, but it ought to mean most to American Negroes in the way of waking them up to the possibilities in the real world.

The Sleeping Klan Every now and then something happens to tell us that the Ku Klux Klan is not dead, but sleeping. The Catholics and the Jews are sufficiently powerful to keep its activities "within the law," according to Saturday, 500 men, women and juveniles, including 50 from Baltimore, donned the hoods and robes and publicly marched to a Baptist church in Baltimore, where a celebration took place. At that ceremony the hoodgoblin, or some high-ranking organization again set forth beneath the fiery cross. their objective to banish all catholicism and kick all alliances to the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. That objective helps us. For by the time that that accomplished them of them left to do much to our group. We wonder if the Grand Goblin has read recent dispatches from the Catholic and a powerful government head who tried to buck the Catholic organization.

Last week in one of the largest music concerts a great symphony orchestra received prolonged applause following the rendition of a special arrangement of a number based on the Handy type of music. This is this irresistible music fighting its way to supremacy. High brows may rage; critics may frown with assumed disgust, and many men soul cannot help leaping to the appeal of the "blues." Even its degenerate younger sister, Jace, may think that crashes through to the heart Were Sorrow Songs But those who knew Handy and the depth of feeling which prompted him to feel the pain that knew much of the modern development of the new music called "jazz" is as far from the original sound as their modern development into "Gettin Gertle's Garter" and Simon "Called Peter." Handy heard the sorrowing mother, ground down by prejudice against the Southland, singing her soul out over the wash tub; he heard the chain gang, victims raising their fists, lightened their awful lot; he listened to loneliness walled out of the banjo behind the life-giving cotton plantations where men and women still worked under the tightening grip of slave drivers, and he set it down in the It has been one of the most interesting facts of human behaviour that oppression in the 60s prompted as economic oppression in the Northern labor centres did with its submerged and oppressed masses, of careless and negligible tendencies sung their sorrows away in the spiritual cadences, and the real "blues" are no less a genuine expression of the ability of their everyday troubles away.

What Price Goodness Lepold, Schoepf. New York Co. cornutimporter, has set aside $200,000 as a fund to purchase clean, moral and useful lives. According to his plan from $100 to $300 is to begiven youths who lead such lives or to wear them, will not only be an incentive, to right living but will serve to help the young man at a time when money counts. There are many serious minds who think that philanthropy may be more hurtful than good. There is, of course, a certain reward to revery young man in this world who travel to see and act upon the thrift. But, without artificial, stimulants often weakens rather than strengthens. What the average young man needs is power, rugged determination and the idea that he can force success out of the world and in the hands of others. When you push him too much, he fails to develop the very faculties that he needs to sustain him when these stimuli are present. PROFESSOR FUDGE AMOS HOKUM SAYS Taxi Cabs Combine It is alleged the hacking drivers of the city are about to organize. How can they be the kind of organization you expect. It is not the purpose to raise the rate from fifty cents to head to seventy-five cents, but to put on an additional cover charge. The fact is the wolf has made them take a certain amount of cover. Their wolf is away because they would not bring us a meter and the old cab. Therefore, they have come to the conclusion that thing to do is to gang the situation. Regular Cabs With Meters Coming As I understand it, they are to turn in all those beautiful gas wagons and have sent back to them some regular tax cabs with the meters in them and even better than that, there will be a regular telephone number and you will be able to get a cab on short notice without having to take the cluiffeur. There will be one grand organized service run on a big time plan and the boots will look good enough to draw up in front of anybody's house. We are written in the constitution of the organization and any one knows you must live up to your constitution. We all know how the United States was established, we understand the fourth and fifteenth amendment. We all wish the new company, health, wealth and prosperity, but we also believe that if it does not want to be a "browd" of those other cabs, we better not tamper with them meters. Half Century The Half Century Club held its regular Easter Carnival at the New Albert Auditorium Wednesday a week ago. One of the ins and outs of the affair. Of course as time goes on some little bit of chatter will leak my way, but I don't mind. IRelay much information to the public. The best I can get out of it is that it was a beautiful thing. It is claimed the decorating was done good out in hold relief as a fly speck on a clean white collar. True there was some bungling of the music but this did not count, in fact this lightened up before came up. Decorations And Fancy Cuts Other than the decorations and the fancy cuts and shakes furnished by the dressmakers and worn by the different delegates, the greatest feature of the event was the attitude taken by the Committee of Ways and Means in getting up the invitation list. In the committee's work, "one must understand or know something of past performances," as a race horse tout would say. In the past the wives of the members of the committee or so much rolling pin that the slippery old fellows were afraid to invite any young girls at all. In the past the dance more like work than pleasure. In fact when those old fellows kept purposefully crushing the madam's toe, it became clear to all of them that now arrangement was more important to be made some other ladies could come to the thing and rest their toes up. Therefore peace was finally declared after the event. Young or some alleged young women were permitted to be invited by the THE WORLD'S MOST FOLLOWING MUSICIAN Addition is the cause of a great deal of slander. Putting two and two together has started many a rumor. All that's left of a Baltimore girl's wearing apparel is the outskirt Mary had a Thomas Cat It is like a live cuse; A neighbor swings a baseball bat Now Thomas doesn't do so. He—Life is a bore. She—Yes, and how much you remind me of life. Gladys says she has just about made up her mind to marry a cave mind, because they seem to have more endurance. OPPORTUNITY WOULD MAKE A POOR FOREIGN LECTURER IN AMERICA. IT KNOCKS ONLY ONCE. What an awful mess Nebuchadnezzar would have started had he in the Hawaiian Islands and started eating grass.

The fireless cooker, may be all right, but it's not as comfortable as the old kitchen stove when you back up to it on a cold day, miss William Mason. POOR BILL! HE WAS KILLED BY A FLASK OF LIGHTNING.

Brookes is a failure only when-men and women make it, 80. women's auxiliary of the invitation committee. Thus this year's gathering was a surprise, as truth there were so many young girls present, the wives had a hard time telling with whom the boss was doing business. Other than the irregular local talent, a quantity of pleasure seekers were imported from Washington and surpassed them, so I haven't learned yet, but I don't believe President Coolidge was there. Alphas Dance I am also keeping my weather eye on the Alpha Phi Alpha dance which is scheduled for Wednesday at the New Albert. I hear these college boys are going to try to show the vagabonds how to dance. It will be interesting to know much much of a dance can be had for $50 punch can be bought for $50 and how much of a dance can be had for $500, counting the hired suits, new dresses and all. If any of the clinical memoirs and I hope to be able to note the fact. His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales is now in Africa. It appears he is visiting the different parts of the British Empire as well. Not that the Africans can do anything to the Empire is it necessary for him to make the trip, but as we all know it is even well to have the Empire when the natives see the charming prince with his cowboy suit and his light blue overcoat on, naturally they will warm up to him knowing that he will shake hands and distance to shake hands with them. If the Prince makes them satisfied enough to stop squawking and do more work so that a lot of the bloody Robs- Royces he will at least be of some service to somebody. The Prince absolutely intends to make a good impression. This we will must agree if we look in the luggage aboard his ship. Banjo And Red Tent Among the many things aboard the ship the following-articles were tabulated: One banjo which the Prince has learned to play, one big blood red tent which he will use when ashore and a special built blood red auto trimmed with plenty of nickle plate and which evidently looks like a bootlegger's car. Just as the Dutch and the English bought half of America with loud blankets and trinkets, so that Prince hopes to get the good will of his African subjects by the red tent, the red motor car and the banjo. If you can imagine Wales sitting outside of his red tent with the red auto in the back ground and the banjo in his "mit," doing a "Ukele Ike" while a crowd of natives watch him, you have some idea of what he is going to pull in the old country. The fact is, the Prince is going in for Vaudeville. This is all so well and so good. But I can't see why the papers let him get away with this stuff without giving him a name. When Kaiser Bill's son was directing the operations of the German troops during the war and was making it ever so unpleasant for the allies, all American papers that did not have German-American editors referred to the young man as the "Clown Prince" for no other reason than that he was giving all the troops in front of him a living fit. If the German Crown Prince had to be called the "Clown" Prince, I see no reason why the English Crown Prince can't be called "Bert" Williams, specially so inasmuch as he is alleged to have Negro blood by him. If he had to come to him in way of descent from the famous Russian Poet Pushkin, Hey, hey. There were three at the little table in the Royal Palace Hotel, a girl and two men. Suddenly the girl sat out and the girl drew back quickly. An instant later there was the smack of a compound kiss. As the lights went up each man was seen in the room, and the girl "I thought I heard a kiss," said the girl, "but nobody kissed me. Then the men glared at each other and flushed. A Liberty Missouri man 90 years old says he has never chewed gum, eaten ice cream, seen a motion picture film, or in an automobile, seen a "girl" show or building more than four stories high, or moved. But why, do you suppose, a man like that wants to bother to live? Some "friends" of a recent groom put him in a cage after the ceremony, they had been real friends they would have locked him in the day before. "Why all this foe about women governors?" asked Clyde Meeks, and then adds, "Everyone has one." Divorce courts records show that the old flame doesn't always burn her love-letters. The scientist who predicts that some day we shall live on air doesn't seem to have observed how many people have been living on hot air for years. Father (sternly) Now you understand what I have just said, young lady. Small daughter (unimpressed) Will you please broadcast it again. I haven't quite got your wave length. Some nice girls think that when they to a public dance they can check their modesty at the cloakroom with the rest of their things, and get it again when they come out. A beautiful woman gets talked about; a pretty woman gets talked to; a homely woman gets talked at; the rest do the talking. IS IT KILLING THEM OFF? A New York columnist said that the great rate is declining since people stay nights to do crossword puzzles. A Maryland gentleman who rather suspected that some one was peeping, through the keyhole of his office door, investigated the house, and went home to find his wife had been cutting wood and a chip had hit her in the eye. There is a bright side to everything, snaps Garland Mackey, even including last year's suit of clothes. Kelly Miller Says Something new under the sun is the $200,000 bequest of the late Charles W. Troughton, white to Hampton and Tuskegee. The money is given for scholarships to boys and girls who expect to go back to the farms. In city life cards are stacked against the Negro. He is afforded every facility for leading a gay life, but is excluded from all except a few lines of business. A New Bequest To Hampton and Tuskegee All roads lead to Rome. People are prone to travel a beaten path. To him that is a bad thing. The Turkestane have captured the imagination of the American people. The benevolently disposed look to them as a kind of blessing. It is not so much because of any theory of education of social policy that these institutions have gotten. It is rather due to the idea that two great Americans built their lives into the warp and woof of these great institutions and have brought the world to order. Armstrong and Washington, one white and one black, made a deeper impression upon us and a greater of their day and generation than any other contemporary teachers. The seed was planted in a new and fertile soil. The needs of the African-American community needed powerfully to the imagination of the American people. Other forms of education were unfamiliar to the African-American persuasive advocacy. Indeed the higher education of the Negro has equally as attractive goods to sell, but it has not so far found an effective aidesm. The results of good salesmanship. These institutions have been so deeply imprinted on the African-American that they are made the beneficiaries of more legacies than any other single charity. When we take up the mormon tradition, we have been left large bequests in the will of the late so-and-so, we experience no sense of surprise in the Tuskegee Institute, such announcements that we place them among the ordinary occurrences. Latest Bequest Amounts To $200,000 The latest benefaction of this description came to notice in the morning papers of Thursday, the day on which the teachers were deed it furnished my theme for the week's release. Mr. Charles W. Troughton makes these institutions the leguages of his will, to share in the bequest in the intention of two to three, the account for the fortune thus devised is said to be two hundred thousand dollars. The most interesting feature of this bequest is that it is provided that the students in these schools in these schools for boys and girls who are preparing to live on the farm, instead of joining the mad rush to the city. The other account: "As farming is one of the most, if not the most, important occupations, and as it appears to be less sought after than other occupations, my earnest wish is to help make in the agriculture and kindred farming occupations in preferences to occupations that will take them away from country life, it being a counterfeit to the present tendency which is toward town and city." Booker Preached From The House Tops Before the beginning of the world war we used to hear this doctrine proclaim: "We must win the wariness." Booker T. Washington preached it from the household. He firmly believed that in the long run the Negro race as such would be far better off in the country than in the city. His argument was plausible; his philosophy convincing. But the oncoming of the war created a sudden vacuum in the labor market of the North. The Negro population rushed in to fill the vacuum without rhyme or reason. For the past few years we have been lauding the Negro in the North. We have seen that in the light of allowed circumstances and conditions. The Negro in the Northern cities is still an experiment. The recent Negro issue of the survey pointing out their need for better housing and deed an interesting portrayal. From the standpoint of immediate creature comfort and conveniences, these people are not much different than they were in their rural communities from which they came. Harlem is but unique of other centers in urban areas. By changing the name of the city and by making suitable modifications for local conditions, the Harlem edifice has become a more desirable Philadelphia, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, or Pittsburgh. Business Competition Not Anyways Near There is a sameness of life and relationship in all of them. If we want to be a good man, the prospect does not seem pleasing. There is not the slightest indication in a single instance that the Negro will probably, at any calculable date enter into the race. The race of the cities in which he resides. He is employed as a hand at good wages for the time of high wages. He does not become a self-esteeming person, lines such as barber shops, eating houses and beauty pariors. Three hundred thousand Negroes in Haiti are involved as much independent business as an ordinary white community of five thousand souls. The competition is of the fiercest possible kind, nor is the Negro permitted to compete in a competition on terms of equal competition. The whole economic fabric is organized, with the black man outside of the organized community, and the cards are stacked against him. Facilities Open For A Good Time He is afforded every facility for having a good time. Eating and Negro In North Still An Experiment drinking and dancing there is no end. Gayetey and frivolity are the order of the day, and especially of the night, when the group might be the future of the racial group in the urban centers which allure, delight for the moment, and destroy. When hard times come and employment becomes long and lasting. Who will picture the future of Harlem fifty years from now? To add to the gloominess of the prospect of the future, reliability in value that it is becoming increasingly difficult for the ordinary person to own a home. The sadest prospect about the Harlem Negro is that comparatively few do not ever hope to own their own homes. Let me throw in contrast the Negro in Harlem with a little farming community that I now. This Negro set up a farm in the city five-five years ago, Freesco, California. It comprises about thirty ranches owned and operated by the Negro, and twenty-five years ago from Georgia. These ranches are worth the average of twenty-five thousand dollars. Each proprietor has his car in which he brings his produce to town or drives for pleasure about the country side. They are near enough the city to see the work which occupies. Each family feels its independence and relocates in its own self proprietorship. Do not have to take the little proprietor every day for their daily bread. These simple minded, though intelligent people have learned the hard way how to build splendid farm homes. They bask in the sunshine of their own settlement, and are proud to have built their own vine and fig tree. I have taken this little settlement of some one hundred souls as typical of the Negro in the countryside and no proprietorship. There is no reason why such settlements might not be multiplied by thousands in all parts of the country. We are now leaving the farm with a rockless abandon. He is rushing into the city after the mad quest for gold. The Negro follows by another form of follower, a man to the city he loses in relative status. The Negro on the farm has all but the money he needs to pay a patron. He can produce precisely as much to the acre under the same tillage, and sell it at the same market. He can buy the city the white man is enhanced and the Negro depreciated. The city industries are organized, the agricultural activities are not. The Negro stands in an unorganized calfish and pursuits. It is not necessary for the Negro to remain in the South in order to remain on the farm. He can move up the North and West which are being neglected by the hundred of thousands. What the white man resigns, the Negro should learn to do on the other hand when the Negro leaves the farm of the South, he never goes to the farm of the North, he boiler for the city, and usually the big city at that. Not only so he is rapidly leaving the farms which he formerly occupied in the old free farm, but he now grows in the rural portions of Ohio and Illinois than there were in 1860. The reason for their thinning out in the rural areas of the West is on the basis of Negro families in an environment of whites which withholds social relations from them become an object of interest. The quest of society of their own kind. The remedy for this is pointed out in the Fowler colony, where a group of Negroes carry their own social life A people who do not own a considerable share of their environment will figure but be feebly in the management of their property, and the municipality in which they live. The social value of proprietorship consists not so much in its absolute as in its relative value. In the Survey that Negroes in Harlem have contracted for property to the extent of sixty million dollars. This sounds large in the aggregate, but reliably it is a small angle skyscraper. What makes poverty oppressive is its close proximity to overweening-wealth On the other hand the Negro farm proprietor is on one hand comparative wealth with on the other farmers in the community. City Discipline Is Lacking The Negro has not as a race yet acquired the discipline necessary to city life, the ability to discipline the city in the to save himself from destruction remains yet to be determined. A race of hired hands is a race of nobodies. A race of independent proprietors is the hope of the people. Of course I am not making a one hundred per cent argument, but am rather speaking in terms of averages. Some will and should come to the aid of the people for the development and exercise of great talent and large powers. But the masses of the Negro peoples are apt to be ground to powder by the pressure and attrition of city life into which they rush unprepared. Troughton Bequest Marks New Day Well might we hail the bequest of Mr. Troughton as marking a new day in the trend of Negro movement away from the farm. It requires, education and understanding, to be evidently evidently in the country. The provision made in this will looks in the right direction.

Among those mentioned to take the trip are Sam Wooding, Eddie Rector, Bob Goines, Hall Moore, a jazz band, chorus of 16 and others who have yet to affix their signa tures on the dotted lines. Berlin is said to be the first stop in the itinerary, with Paris, Vienna, and Moscow to follow. Late Show Models The production will be modeled along the line of the colored shows that have been in vogue on Broadway and elsewhere for the past decade. The show will be selected from many of the famous floor shows in New York City. Morris Gest. is doubtlessly the greatest impressor in a decade, and will carry the projection to a successful conclusion, white to white, to his credit the production of innumerable floor shows in which our artists have appeared. First Since 1903 If memory serves, no larger company has appeared abroad since 1903 when Williams and Walker made their trumpet trip to London with "In Dahomey."

TS TO MAR Around New York W Billboard Around New York With Billboard Jackson New York, N. Y.—The Easter Parade on Fifth avenue, New York is a tradition almost as old as is the Avenue itself. So far as it goes, it is good; but you out of town folks who really want to see glad garments, radiant personalities, joyous people, happy individuals and collective picturesquenes framed in the world's largest picture, take a trip and visit upper Seventh Avenue, on Easter or any other bright Sabbath afternoon. The trip is worth the time; and we guarantee that it will ruin a lot of preconceived ideas about the Negro. Church services brought the folks onto the avenue, and the Dextra choral concert at the Renaissance Casino augmented the numbers that passed to and fro, and what a fashion show it was. And, how the amusement folks did shine "On Stage." Men and women alike were correctly dressed. Among the men we might mention William Forrester of Musical Headquarters. "Black Carl" Johnson, of the Dressing Room Club, Clarence Bush, Wesley Jenkins, the film fellow, John Frye, of Moss and Frye, Fred Weaver, the Cleftie, who ran in from Philadelphia where he has been convalescent as being typical of the perfectly uttered manhood. Mr. Free, Ruby Mason, Ida Day, whom we have not seen in many years, taught us how to dress, whose costumes would make any person turn a head in admiration or enjoy himself. We were both samples of the legion that one passed on the Harlem highway. Mercer Cook Mercer Cook, Mason, was in town for the day.

Following is a detailed outline of the story. SLAPPED BY LIFE at every turn, a distinguished scientist, laughing at the rocky ridiculousness of events, hires himself out as a clown in a circus. And, in this bespangled world of fantastic enchantment, he finds new faith awakened in his love for the lovely back rider. But into their lives come the spidery Baron Regnard—it's a story that will whisper loudly hold you in the grp of its strange voice. "No, We Get Shapped." Miss Lillian Reid, formerly of the Regent Theatre, is back at the console of the Roosevelt's organ. The return of the popular singer is evidently greatly to the satisfaction of the gatrons, if applause means anything. "Dante's Inferno" At Dunbar Asking the pointed question, ARE THE PEOPLE OF TODAY HEADED TO WARDEN HEAVEN OR HELL? Dante's "inferno," in all its magnificence, will be screened for two days, next Monday and Tuesday, at the Dunbar Theatre. Take this tip, this is the heavy artillery of recent the modern version tells of the money-mad Mortimer Judd, as relentless in his business dealings as he is in his home life. On the occasion of a particularly nasty outburst of ego at home, the old yellow happen to open a volume *The Times* and a man he has cursed into a demon. It is "Dane's Inferno." In the luxurious library of his mansion, the soul of Mortimer Judd commences to re-travel Dane's memorable trip through Hell. But when his spirit is released from its curse, and he returns to earth, wan and weak from the exhausting brain storm, he realizes that what it may have done for countless other men, and what it may do for countless others. It made him see the folly of his greed and, most important of all, it made him think "Classmates"—"City That Never Sleeps." Regent "Class mates" a story showing the "wheels go 'round" at the West Point Military Academy, will play the Regent Theatre on next Monday and Tuesday. Michael Barthelmeis for the star, gives the military men a moulded, and thanks to the officers in charge of the Academy, "Classmates" gives accurate, intimate insight as to just how the feat is accomplished. The drama are those in which the heartbroken Duncan receives his dismissal from the Academy; the rescue scene in South America, and that in which Duncan finally triumphs. Barthelness is ideally cast as the boy from the southern sticks who is all bound up in his military career attained against great odds. While the work of the star is one of the outstanding features of the production, due credit must be given his support which could scarcely have been improved upon. Mudge, who plays a splendid sweetheart; Reginald Sheffield, a villain who carries all the bises he should receive, and the characterization of James Bradbury, Jr., as "Silent" Clay, proves him worthy to bear the name of that excellent character actor, who is his father. "Idaho" New Serial At Star The "Delibered Revolt" coming to the Star on next Thursday is described as a dramatic thunderbolt. All of the human emotions have been intertwined into this wonderful screen triumph. Thursday's picture, while attractive does not stack up as the best picture bet at this house for the week. Though appealing, the program for other days is equally as interesting. The third episode of "Idaho," the latest chapter play, will be shown on Wednesday. New Goldfield To Play "Western Yesterday" Thursday, of this week, the program at the South Baltimore house, is "Life's Greatest Game," featuring Johnny Walker, Benny Leonard in "King Kills" and the "Midnight Watch," a side-splitting comedy. Last Monday opening day, hundreds of prospective patrons were unable to obtain admission. Two bands were in attendance and each kiddo present received an Easter egg. This spacious 500 seat house fills a much desired place in the South Baltimore section. Lafayette Books Thrillers For Last Half Not only persons living in the adjacent neighborhood of the Lafayette Theatre, Lafayette Avenue, near Stricker, have been attracted to the beautiful theatre, but folk from other sections of the city are also becoming patrons. First run pictures and the best obtainable in music are the magnets. Twice (Thursday) of this week, magnetic Evelyn Brent, heads a superb cast in "Vanity's Price." Friday, An all-star cast presents "Lightning Romance." "Galloping Gallagher," starred by Fred Thompson has been booked on Saturday. Comedies, serials, and news reels are on each day's program. A matinee is given every Saturday. Tony, Duke and Tom Mix, Carey Feature Carey patrons should be pleased with their favorite Tom Mix in "Teeth," the picture chosen for their entertainment on Wednesday, April 29th. If they enjoy loosening all stops in their emotions, if they love a dog that is a loyal and brave friend, if they have humorous heart and heartbeat best friends, they are in for an hour of happy emotional exercise when they ride with Tom Mix in "Teeth." This latest achievement of Director, J. G. Blystone is an outstanding thriller that will stiffen muscles and curl hair. Tom Mix has proven himself a real artist in his perfect willingness to share equipment and can play in order to aid in the accomplishment of placing them in stellar roles. The acting of the horse and dog place the film in the class of being a distinctive novelty feature, and the additional drawing power of Tom Mix's name guarantees good business for all exhibitors showing the pic- The scene at the water hole where the wildly blazing fire threatens the life of an assorted lot of fugitives including wild cats, bears, coyotes, deer and mountain lions is intensely interesting. And in spite of the super intelligence of the dog and the wild fantasy of the tale, everything is tied together so naturally, so reasonably, with a sure hand, that it can be seen in the minute of the picture. Claire Windsor, in the seven act screen classic "For Sale," comes on Monday 27th. An all-star cast in "Hearts of Ouk," is the attraction on Tuesday 8th. Maybe so maybe not so, however 'ere goes. From New York comes the news that negotiations are practically closed with Roland Hayes to tour the Keith-Albee tims as a single, on his return to these shores from Europe. The Hampton Avenue stage, the Roland Hayes theater, the interiors. Should the above be fact, it will mean that the bigtimmers are about to recognize to a greater extent Negro artists doing more artistic things than those previously employed. Duncing, singing, and other "clowning" has seemed to be the character of act that received consistent work from the interests mentioned above before give their early start with it. Alba could choose if above materializes. The Hayes en we accept with a "grace of salt," but who knows?

Call VErnon 6017 OPEAN EAN CA STAR Travis Tucker and "Happy" Dounevor head a "tab" of about twelve people at this house for the week. Tucker and his partner Annie Gresham, one of the best teams in vaudeville, surely have their work cut out for them in trying to carry a dead weight of the proportion that they have assumed with this company. Only assistance given them in providing anything that smacks of entertainment is the assistance of a small girl, who danced her way into high favor with the customers, thereby earning much aplause and quite a few nickels on Monday afternoon. Travis Tucker and Miss Gresham both received onions on their entrances. They verified this expression, and she said, "I believe that "went" like a house a fire. Tucker mopped up gallons of applause with his song numbers as usual. His partner maintained her previous rep of being the singer of the song. Her singing is of the same delightful quality, and her English, as usual, will pass any censor board. As for the rest of the company NOT SO GOOD.

STAR THEATRE Saturday, April 25 MARIE BIRD FANCIER FOUND IN ETTING STREET Dallas Frazier Guardian Of Fifty Blooded Homing Pigeons FLY SIX HUNDRED MILES Diana And Casway Strains Cost $25 A Pair, Churchman Owner Says By Kennard Williams Let you don't know what a Haneen, Bright-eyed Tecton, Clock Sopher, Diana and Cassy are. You don't. I'll tell you then, they are pigeons, but not of the kind that little birds, feature. Or they are the social elect of the pigeon family, so Dallas Frazier of 1865 Etting town, a pigeon fancier, nuns. Unsurprisingly a bird lover is a quick plain spoken man rather to get started talking about his pets, but when the courteously well stocked lot he loosened us, and showed 59 beautiful birds of varying plumage and size. Each of the species mentioned above each of the pigeon strains costing $25 per pair, the benning house is subdivided like a two story dwelling for persons, downstairs is mating division where pigeons turn two two eggs. Where They Live Upscale in the front bedroom are housed the dyers. These birds have unusually strong wings and wings that are not designed for instance these hardy pigeons are shipped to Macon, Ga., a distance of approximately 100 miles, accordingly followed a air route to Orange, Va., is considered just around the corner being but 100 miles. Greene, Va., is a little longer than the other pigeons, 300 miles. Lexington, N.C., is 300 miles from which the air marvels return in a comparatively short time. Take Nightly Exercise. At the same time they are of course, tagged out, but a little rest suffices, and they are prepared to do it all over again. On last Saturday these birds were released into a new aviary, a reviewer, these blooded wingers about twenty in number, circled about their abode for a few seconds and few aways for a poultry's exercise but no one ever says that none of these birds have ever alighted in his yard. Next door to the Qer's quarters is the nursery where little Willie and Annie Pigeon live. Here they learn to fly, and they become first飞机的 flyers or breeders. None of these little pigeons birds and girls are ever meant when the word SQUAD appears on the menu of your favorite dining room. Arisocracy of Birds As symmetrically shaped as the fast-feed horse, of wondrously coloured plumage, and with an intelligence that is marked, these carriers seem to know that they are aristocrats. Master and net gets along famously immediately the owner entered the house, there were many "how do you do" signs in pigeon English, accompanied with much flapping of What They Eat Their bill of fare is a mixture of Kallir corn, hempsed, fint corn and Canadian peas which, I see the owner bark $3.55 per hundred, the hales and gentlemen are first cousins to those used by several armies during the late war for carrying messages. Owner is Churchman. The guardian of the little stock is a man of the Holy and Western Home Club, an association of pigeon fanciers having 22 members. He is also a member of Eaton Baptist Church and a Christian missioner. And the visitor believes him.

New York, agreed to play "Sunshine," Sunny, little California screen star, who is a featured attraction, playing the role of the Hippodrome was offered. It is noteworthy that the honesty of "Sunshine" managed decided him to fulfil the obligations to the publicity department of their time, before accepting the Hippodrome contract. Stars Leave For Chicago Miss Evelyn Preen and Awarded The Hippodrome Players, number two, who for the past week have been appearing in a novelty sketch, written by Mr. Thompson, at the Avenue at the Mall, for the following announcement before leaving: They said that they opened in Chicago at the Avenue at the Mall, for the Andrew Bishop Latency Players. They opened in "Experience." Mr. Thompson, portraying the role of "Youth," while Miss Preer that of It is a pleasure to note the advancement these two gifted artists are making. And not far beyond the horizon looms the unmistakable mark of success, for both Miss Preece and Mr. Preece, the season after season, has won for them praise that can never be equaled as far as art is concerned. The Bright Players have a habit of eclipsing all efforts of previous weeks. The current presentation does not deviate from their established habit. The customers approved it and didn't "sit on their hands." “Dink” Stewart, Tribble, in a side-splitting pantomime, Miss Brooks, Millie Holmes and the rest of the participants lived up to their usual performance. The latter, Miss Holmes, uncorked a decidedly tempting number which she was obliged to repeat. A quaint bit of legmania at the finish was decidedly approved by the masculine “buyers.” “Tiny” Joe Bright, essayed a light character and did his usual ballyhoo Mrs. Bobble Bright was missed, she being unable to perform because of illness. The Three Harmony "Queens, Marie Lucas, Julia Rector, and Ethel Williams, who recently closed at the Everglades in New York, were spotted "close to shut," and proved themselves capable of doing full justice to the position. Uncoring is a series of diversified dance steps and delightful solos and harmony singing to which was added a decidedly finished trombone solo by Marie Lucas, the cash purchasers were easily sold. Very good indeed very good. The scenic adornment is the best produced any week since the company opened here. A boat scene proving extremely well conceived and artistically well executed, artistically and lavishly. All told, all is well at the Regent this week.

(Pianist with Carly Smith) BALLET IS ADAPTED FROM PRIZE PLAY ton, D. C. "Dreams and Visions" is a mythological story upon which is based the ballet of the same name, recently performed at the Lincoln Theatre, dissolving to the story written by the arranger of the ballet won first prize at the Academy of Sciences, Cuba. The characters are: Mirthy daughter of Sardun, God of Civilization; Cherey, Goddess of Faith; Alpha, Prince of Might and son of Minerva, Goodness of Science; Mephisto, the Evil Angel, the Fairy Lady, and the Aunt of Goodness. The synopsis follows: Mirthy has left home to visit her groommother who lives in Paradise. On her journey she learns that her father has given her. Alpha is in love with Mirthy, but circumstances have prevented him from telling her, he therefore takes advantage of this Knowing that the most beautiful Virgin of the Garden of Myth is to the Garden of Alphas, Alpha takes form to intercept her on her way. He hides in the thick undergrowth of the forest for concealment. *Princess of Love* When Mirthy arrives he arises from his hiding place and greets her. The princess is started by Alphas, pleading for his return. The princess is ignorant of love, afraid even of the words that Alpha has used. She flees, and element and feels like a leaf swayed by the spring-time breezes. *Mephistion Appears* Mephistion appears in the Garden, sees and hears everything. The Princess repulses all of Alphas overtures though he falls to his knees in abjection. Alphas comes to gesture that Alpha love us. He gestures that Alpha use violence. At the words of the Evil Angel, the lover seems to go mad. When Mephistion appears Alpha attempts to slay the virgin, but instead stabs himself. The Fairy Lady appears and knowing that Mephisto is to blame tells him to leave Paradise at once. Not only does the Evil One refuse, but he laughs in despair. Mephisto is the Garden is broken. Chary receives Alphio by magical administrations, and orders Mephisto out of the Garden. Love Finds Is Way This is what most one seems ashamed. Darkness comes upon the Garden of Eden as he leaves, and confusion seems to enclose all the inhabitants. Soon all is bright the Princess tells her he loves the love him and they dance a dance of caution to their happiness. Howard Reopened the Iloward theatre. Washington theatre.

Saturday, April 25 MASONS ARE READY FOR CELEBRATION Centenary Celebration Begins Sunday Afternoon At Metropolitan Baptist ception At Lyric To Follow Under the leadership of Grand Master Willard W. Allen, Grand Secretary George T. Duppin, and a Committee of One hundred, the Masons of the State are perfecting plans for the appropriate observance of the first hundred years of Masonic activity in Maryland. Although Masonry is supposed to have been in existence 5000 years before the birth of Christ, it was not introduced among men of color in the State of Maryland until Feb. 2, 1825, when Friendship Lodge was warranted by Peter Richmond, Grand Master of the First Independent African Grand Lodge of North America, No. 1, of the State of Pennsylvania. The present Most Worshipful United Grand Lodge is the direct outcome of that happening one hundred years ago. The first service will take place next Sunday afternoon with a fraternal service with the other orders in the New Metropolitan Baptist Church, Mosher and McCulloh streets, the Rev. Dr. Joshua H. Green, pastor, instead in the Masonic Temple, as originally planned. The change was made necessary because of the large concourse expected to be in attendance. Orations will be delivered by Bishop John Hurst and former city councilman, Warner T. McGuinn. The renowned Eastern Star Choir (composed entirely of ladies), directed by Madam Annie Hazelton Lee, will render the musical program. At night, the anniversary services will be held in the Sharp Street Memorial M. E. Church, Etting and Dolphin streets, the Rev. Dr. W. H. Dean, pastor.

Every branch of the Adoptive Rite has been inaugurated. A fitting cimax of the celebration will be the beginning of the Order of Prince Hall, a department for the sons of Masons.

JOHN JASPER Local Pastor as Student at Seminary In Richmond Heard Famous Preacher Hearing Jasper Preach, He Said, Meant 'osing His Dinner Revival of the famous, "The Sun Do Move," sermon of the late John Jasper, of Richmond, recalled the fact that many Baltimoreans remembered the famous preacher. One of them is the Rev. D. G. Mack, pastor of Macedonia Baptist Church, which is to enter its new building at Lafayette and Fremont avenue. Sunday, May 3rd. According to the Rev. Mr. Mack, he was a student in the Union Theological Seminary at Richmond some 25 years ago when the Rev. John Jasper was the pastor of the Sixth Mt. Zion Church and the leading preacher in the city. "Whenever it was announced that the Rev. Mr. Jasper was to preach one of his famous sermons we students contrived to start early and get there. We knew that this sermon was going to last two hours and that we had to be there about one hour before time in order to get a seat. "Therefore, we took lunches with us because we knew we were going to miss dinner. The upper part of the church was always filled with white people. Members of the church had to content themselves with what ever space was left." He was a striking preacher, according to the Rev. Mr. Mack. He used good English and delivered his subject with telling effect. "I believe," declared Dr. Mack, "that Jasper's mistake lay in taking these passages of scripture referring to the movement of the sun and the flatness of the earth as literal instead of figurative."

Visited Bishop Johnson last August Says Dodd May I correct a statement or rather add to one, made in the AFRO last week with regard to a visit made to the home of Bishop Johnson in interest of the return of the pastor of Bethel Church for another year. This visit was not made recently as would appear, but during Aug., 1924. It was the outcome of this visit that caused the officials not to make themselves ridiculous by signing a petition that would be meaningless to the opportunity power. WEEKLY SERMON The sermon this week was contributed by the Rev. M. H. Davis, pastor St. John A. M. E. Church. The sermon next week will be given by Rev. J. H. Taylor, of Mt. Sinai Baptist Church. CORRUPTION "And I sought for a man among them to stand in the gap before me for the last; but I found none." EZEK. 22: 30. The twenty second chapter of Ezekiel The prophet Ezekiel shows in the text that the moral state and the feelings of the people It was common to see officials practice prophets God's highest representatives uponrupt. The Priests who officiated i the tems come victims of profanity. The Princess, righteousness practiced wickedness and divided the people, who inhabited the kingdom Therefore the cause for this utterance the prophets, priests, kings, and people had as it was then that nothing weakens the scars and rulers, yea even the people them is the duty of the ministers as it was of their sins and transgressions. When conditions become intolerable Go go and find a man to remedy such condi from Mesopotamia and settled in Ur, the little worshipped the heavenly bodies, the roes, graven images and their ancestors. In that darkened State God appeared ed him saying "Get Ye into a land which afterwards we have been reminded to remem doomed and the whole of the pit whence we ham your father. As a religious thinker and restorer of God, Abraham had no equal. He is a man eousness in the gray dawn of the Jewish more than anything else is a man, who we eousness regardless of consequences. A man before the Lord for the people "And I sought for a man among them that should make up the hedge and stand in the gap before me for the land that I should not destroy it; but I found none." EZEK. 22: 30. The twenty second chapter of Ezekiel gives us a catalogue of Israel The prophet Ezekiel shows in the text that a breach was made between the moral state and the feelings of the people. It was common to see officials practicing corruption in office. The prophets God's highest representatives upon the earth had become corrupt. The Priests who officiated in the temple allowed themselves to become victims of profanity. The Princess, whose duty it was to reign in righteousness practiced wickedness and diverted justice. Like the priests were the people, who inhabited the kingdom of Israel. Therefore the cause for this utterance was the sinful state into which the prophets, priests, kings, and people had fallen. And it is true now as it was then that nothing weakens the spiritual life of ministers, officers and rulers, yea even the people themselves more than sin. And it is the duty of the ministers as it was of the prophets to tell the people of their sins and transgressions. When conditions become intolerable God knows just exactly where to go and find a man to remedy such conditions. When Terah migrated from Mesopotamia and settled in Ur, the land of the Chaldeans, the people worshipped the heavenly bodies, the forces of nature, animals, heroes, graven images and their ancestors. In that darkened State God appeared unto Abraham and commanded him saying "Get Ye into a land which I will give unto you." And afterwards we have been reminded to remember the rock whence we are doomed and the whole of the pit whence we are digged to look to Abraham your father. As a religious thinker and restorer of faith and worshiper of one God, Abraham had no equal. He is a man who stood for God and righteousness in the gray dawn of the Jewish religion. What we need now more than anything else is a man, who will stand for truth and righteousness regardless of consequences.

It seems that there were several witnesses to the attack. I am writing you at this time to urge you to bring just punishment upon these men. Our people are very much increased about the affairs and that imputed steps taken. We have pledged in the name of the Negro severely for the same Negro. We do not object to this where a white man is punished by that justice demands the game treatment for the same offense refused to whom or against whom the offense was committed.

Jones 600-William L. Fitzgerald-$1,250,000 Monuments are NOT built to men who never had any difficulties to overcome. Neither are bouquets thrown at those who accomplish only the ordinary. It is not a coincidence that our leaders in every walk of life are persons of courage and decision—the "doers" and the "go-getters." The average man is, after all, a person of small attainments. Roger Babson showed by statistics that the average life of a grocery store in a large city is only 7 months—and that 50% of all the firms of this country fail in business over a period of 20 years. It is the more remarkable, in the light of such facts, to note that this spring marks the passing of the twentieth year in the life of the Real Estate business of one of our citizens, William L. Fitzgerald. The fact is noteworthy, and one that fills us with a certain pride in our own race. Beginning in a small way, the business met with the usual discouraging bumps and set-backs; by sheer grit and hard work, seconded by a resilient and cheerful spirit that was not to be denied, the founder saw his efforts blossom into an organization that today has charge of over 600 houses representing the impressive total of some million and a quarter dollars. And it is still going strong. The AFRO-AMERICAN feels that the creator of such a lusty near-adult as this 20-year old business concern, deserves the heartiest congratulations. May he and his work live another twenty years—and another! Come on Old Pay—Brace up and Smile. Don't keep on saying—"Life isn't worth while." Just think of the life you want than you Why, there's lots and lots of people, feeling awful blue. This big world of ours is round like a ball, And there's plenty of money in it for us all. So come on, Old Pale-Brown up and Smile— Advertise in "HI-Power Buy second hand clothing and it will sure be worth while. See S.

Minnesota Offers Real Advantages The university, rightly termed the "bread-and-butter" State, says the Northwestern Bulletin Appeal, has thousands of acres of land, which should attract the agriculturist of the race. It may mean only a matter of orientation by a change from raising cotton to mishaw what as any of difference in the way of enjoyment of citizenship with all of its benefits. Here we have in rural districts one of the finest systems of education in the world. Both races attend these schools in harmony and without injury to either. The University of Minnesota is one of world's best institutions of learning. The colored students receive the same consideration as the white. Both drink from the quintessence of munching, which stands the sovereignty of the great North Star State. Western Field (National Economic Survey, for the Associated Negro Press) But slight improvements all along the line and hence there is little change in Northern labor demands. In all the large cities the building season is short, and skilled men in the building trades. There is no demand for common labor in this line, however, for the reason that plenty of men who are not yet working. The steel business is not improving and not likely to do so during the time throughout Chicago and about the average and none of the mills are running capacity. Packing houses are running short time throughout Chicago and in other cities. The same advice given still holds. Don't come North until you know there is work to do, also in other cities.

Fallu Colon, T. Panama—The Steamship Booker T. Washington, formerly the General George W.

This steamer arrived in Cristol March 26th from New York by way of the West Indies and upon arrival the captain had a misunderstanding which resulted in several members of the crew leaving the ship, all alleged claims being settled except engine manufacturer W. C. Todd, had the steamer liberated for wages due. But Mr. Critter, secretary of the Black Cross Navigation and the West 153 Street, New York City, stated here that he had received cable advice that sufficient money is being cabled to him from the steamer against this steamer and expects to have her sail for New York via Kingston within the next few days. It is also rumored that Mr. Critter will tentative arrangement to go into the banana business here on a large scale. **Winter Season.** This is the season that it rains increasingly but the temperature varies, between 75 and 84 degrees. Rubber May Enrich Florida Negroes Jacksonville, Fla. — It is encouraging news to nearly 13,000 Florida farmers to approximately 490,000 acres of land valued at more than nine million dollars, that the large northern tire manufacturers who have invested in the state expect to secure their first output within the next five years. These farmers are now carefully considering the future possibilities of the state and do intend to sell their holdings at a sacrifice. The move to grow rubber here is due to the 50 per cent reduction that production in the Fqr East. Industrial Briefs Colored mail carriers number 3,663, of whom 24 are females.

MAURICE MOSS, Secretary No New Library Building for Morgan Lays President Spencer. To the Editor, I note in your issue of last week a statement to the effect that wishing a few months we shall begin to build a library. I wish this were true, for we greatly need one. The simple fact is we do not need to begin a building of any kind. Certainly not until the pledges made on on recent Crusade are realized. We rejoice in the grant of 1,000 for the Carnegie Corporation for the library facilities. Kindly make the above correction. J. O. SPENCER, Pres. Morgan College. Here's another Aposide of John Jasper, who says the Earth is square and the Sun moves. To the right, just a few lines to inform you on teaching the Bible. The sun does move and the earth stands still. To the left, the earth has four corners. Rick Johnson 10:12, 13. John 8:31, 32. A man that teaches the Bible is a good man, Psalms 3:17-23, "to overcome some things that have meant to hurt me." The temple will be a pillar in the temple. Now this truth will stand no matter what is said. God says it has four corners. He made the world and meant to tell us in it to say anything at that time. Elder JAMES E. HALL. 554 Forest Street. This War Veteran asks for All and Someone to write him. To the Editor: In today, Easter Sunday, I am writing to you. I was honorably discharged in France and was in several battles. Was in the Argonne on the 11th day of November, 1918 when the last gun was I have thirty years in prison and have put up over four years. I am trying to get money to go to college and I am going to ask you will you help me raise the money. You can get in touch with the ex-soldier. You can go to the PRO and some of my camerads will read this message and help me out. I don't think my camerads will turn me down. I don't like the ady that would like to write to an ex-soldier, or some of the Red Cross nurses that were in the war. I am always glad to get a down payment on sympathizes with an ex-soldier. My mother is close to 70 years old and on that account I am compelled to go to the war. W. Lee told me to write to you, he lives in Memphis, Tenn. He is going to help me. Today is Sunday. He is sunny and I am just wondering what the outside world thinks of the ex-soldiers who risked their lives that other might live. I know someone of me and write a letter of choice. Your paper is allright. I keeps me in touch with the outside world by touch. I would feel if it wasn't touch. I would spend many lonely days. But I have a radio in my cell, and it is fine to pass the time away, I get your home town some times. LANDRUM LEWIS. Fort Madison, Iowa. Charleston Dance Contest New Goldfield Theatre 924 S.

The committee which is headed by D. O. D. Jones and R. Maurice Moss, of Baltimore Urban League, visited Schools Nos. 103 and 116 and their report in part on same follows; School No. 103 was found fairly clean but the room, which is used as an infirmary in case of illness is also the rest room for the teachers and the room used by them for cooking and lunch. The medical cabinet was found to be a desk drawer. The eating table for the teachers and the sick couch found to be one of the same. The groom lavatory was found to be in initial condition but the boy's was better. School 116, according to this report, was built in 1841 and was entirely inadequate for its purpose. The first complaint registered by the teacher being the prevalence of rats. One teacher reported that they attended history classes, spelling lessons and devotional exercises without any distinction.

GIRL RETURNS WHO MAN GIRL ACCUSED SHOT LOVER'S WIFE IS GIVEN FREEDOM It is of special interest to note the foreigner's point of view relative to race amalgamation. The Negro problem in all of its ramifications was discussed a great deal during and following the Civil War and the period when the foreigners exhibited or keen interest in America's race problem. The French point of view on race amalgamation is quite unique. Being of a matter of fact turn of mind, and cut off from contact with all but a few Ngroes, it is not a surprise that among the French we should find a sacer attitude toward race mixing than among some people. A number of Novels A number of novels have been written recently by French authors bearing on race imamrama. Among these, the two most important ones perhaps are "Blavis of Nous" and "Romulus Coucon" by M. Paul Reboux. After writing "Romulus Coucon", M. Paul Reboux sent the following questions to the leading men and women of France. 1—What is your opinion of the treatment of the blacks by the Americans? 2—What do you think of marriage where the different races mix? 3—What man distantly descended from blacks no longer reveals the characteristics in appearance, if he is agreeable tender and faithful do you believe, he could be loved and be married by a white woman? 2010 Answers The answers to the above questions were published in "Eve," a paper printed in Paris. The writer Young Woman Says Bullet Which Killed Spouse Intended For Man That the bullet which fatally wounded Mrs. Harrison Marshall two weeks ago was intended for her husband, was the statement made by Miss Lucy Smith, who fled the shot, when she returned to the city his week and surrendered. The surrender of the young woman was thought about through her attorney, J. Stewart Davies, who induced her brother to find her whereabouts and bring her back. She had been at large since the shooting. Intended For Man Miss Smith is now ready to face the ordeal of a trial for staying the wife of the man she loved, it is said, and she was surrendered to uneastern Police officers Tuesday. According to her story, she had met Marshall after his separation from his wife and the two lived together at the Bethel street address. At the point she shall is said to have slipped from the house and paid a visit to his wife. She followed him and demanded that he return to the house and get his clothes. At this point she is alleged to have reached threatening toward his hp pocket and the woman declares she then shot n self defense. The shot went wild, lodging in the breast of Mrs. Marshall, causing her death a few hurs The shooting took place at the Eden street address, where the wife was visiting her daughter Edlow; who lived in the home. The mother, it was said, spent most of her time in service in the suburbs. On the night of the shooting the husband to care to visit the child. The shooting took place in the doorway as the other woman did not enter the house Tuesday, 5 P. M., Dead Line had the pleasure of reading and translating some of these replies Of 2040 answers received, on the question "Would you marry a colored man?" 1060 said no and 981 said yes. Two of the four women on the list of replies have colored husbands. These replies were published in 1920. All of them are interesting and informing. In the characteristic French manner, each writer approaches the question calmly, dispassionately and sanely. They seen frank in the giving of their opinion. This collection of opinion or the writer's marriage is the largest that the writer has had the privilege to read. Social Environment Of course, every American knows that the French live in a social environment more conductive to sane and unbiased; consideration of race amalgamation than the which exists in the United States Our Negro population is over 12.5 million while White has scarred: Negroes accepting those in her military service. Already there are about 2,000,000 mulattoes in the United States. And thousands of white Americans have Negro mulattoes. One of these facts however, alarming to the white. The situation calls for cool, calm intelligent action, not harsh blind action. It requires scientific, social action. It requires active bravery to brush such as the Stoddard—Grant Cox group; is noted for them. As for race mixing, who can stop it?

The child then told of the act committed by the man, and was secured Easley was given a hearing Friday morning.
