The Segregation Terror By William Pickens New York—That segregation case before the Supreme Court in Washington is by far the most terrible threat the colored people have ever faced—it is far more menacing than was the "Louisville case," of 1917. The segregation which was overthrown in 1917 concerned the right of legislative bodies, like city councils, to elect colored people, or any people, to live anywhere that any other people are permitted to live. But the present case concerns persons to exclude colored people and then call on the law to enforce the exclusion. The Supreme Court in the 1917 case, which have been left in the hands of regular legislative bodies, while if he loses the Wash- Who's Who In Harlem By W. G. JONES, Jr. New York City—Mrs. J.

Flik University Trio, Joe Carter, better known as the circuit as a comedian, and who entertained with several limitations of the club led by LeRoy Dismuke, a noted plenist. ington case, he will be left in the hands of the Devil. For he might still be exerted by city councils on legislatures and city councils on politics and votes; but he will have no checks on organized private greed and dominant power. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is trying to win this case and defeat this worst of all threats against him. He will win, every Negro wins; if they lose, every Negro loses. Ergo, it makes no difference what any black man may think of any officer of the association, or of the chairman—if he thinks well of his own interests and the interests of his children, he will help to win this case. It is a cause in the chairman's fight of not nobility but yourself, if you wish to see it that way. A short address was given by Garland Anderson, author of "Judge Not Accused," and commissioned by Secretary, Mr. Thomas E. Taylor, was present, and commended the Club for its splendid showing and well planned Mr. William Lowe, president of the Brotherhood, was the chairman of the programme committee was responsible for the wonderful program that was presented.

"KIP" Rhinelander Bride Would Rather Have Husband Than His Money SHE WAITS SILENTLY AT WINDOW FOR RETURN "Poor Or Rich, I Love Him And I Want Him" She Declares New York City, (Afro Buren)—I love him, probably love him till I die. His money has made no difference. I did not marry him for money. And if his father has cut Leonard out of his will—what does it matter? What does anything matter—I Leonard must richly I love him. His suit is all that counts. I love him and want him. In a brief of Mrs. Alice Beatrice Jones Rhinelander, deserted bride of a man who, tongue-suiced sion of one of New York's richest families, she asserts that money is not what she is now worth. She is a devoted husband. The report that Philip Rhinelander, father of the blue blood she married, had thanking her for the family name, had very little effect on the emotions of the bride. She perhaps is a little more bitter and impious father-in-law. Money Doesn't Count The girl who is being sued for annulment of the ceremony performed by her husband, she deceived her husband about her alleged "Colored" origin, said. His father has disinherited Leonard—well, nothing would surprise me. But I don't care. It doesn't make the least bit of difference. I would far rather have annulled—than not have him at all." Has Hope Of Return The slender girl turned toward her window with a flashing smile. "I haven't lost hope. For two years I used to sit at the window and wait for the postman to bring me a meal and wait. I can wait now. But it is terrible. I haven't had any letters since the first week after I was left alone to purpose his father won't to him. And now his father has disinherited him, they say. If he had not, he would be. And if what they say is true, he hasn't mythyed. Fifty millions of dollars means that he has compared with the love she has for her husband. She still is waiting and hoping that some day he will be the key in the door and come home. John D. Furnishes Chorus New York—John H.

Two Colesal Errors Analysis of the situation reveals Dr. MeKenzic's failure due to two colossal errors—his_ misinterpreta~ tion of the yearnings of the so-eali- ed “Now Negro youth, and his ris- remurd of the wishes of the alumni, cither of which failings may become fatal to any college president sim- Marly situated. Mis "Keen tho Negro tn his place” policy made “him alert to ‘crush any inspiration which south- fern philosophy thought might event- ally threaten ‘white supremacy.” Southern Whites Contplatned Some years ago, the southern whites complained “of the appear- ance of colored debaters in fuil- dress suits, Fisk and Atlanta asked Howard to acquiesce, Wntt the pro- fessor in charge of debating at Ho- ward, ut that ‘time, demanded that the speakers in Rankin Chapel ap- pear in full-dress suit or not appear at alll He won his point, with the result that the triangular debating relations were severed unil after that, Insistent professor had resign- ed from Moward University. Dr. MeKenzio obviously ‘forgot that the Negro youth was called up- ‘on the other day, to help make the world mife for democracy, whatever this felicitious expression means. | ‘Man, Sized Job ‘Tho fact is that the Negro youth was summoned to a mun-sized Job. The ‘records ioud hin ceromplish- ments. Ils experience gave full op- portunity for many expression. Ie returned fired with manhood and determined to enjoy some of the fruits o€ democracy. When, there- fore, college conditions, under a man who could not possibly interpret the yeurningw of the Negro youth, be- ‘came akin to servitude, he ‘rose to tho full measure of hiv manly stature und cried out in a stentor- Jan voice, "I'l be darned if 1 will stand this any longer.” ‘Thus ends the story of the fire error. SECOND ERROR ‘Tho second error was equally as serious, College presidents, confid- ent of the support of thelr trustecs, fire likely tb. conclude too often that Providence sent them into a college, ready booted and spurred to tide, with the professors, students, and alumni ready saddled and brid- led. to bo-ridden. Too much power ix ay intoxicating as alcoholic be- verages. "Though a college president should have a reasonably free hand to work out administrative and educative re: forms, he should have on him some ‘check, which 1s not. mailciously meddiesome or obstructive. If the president of the ‘nation had Itmit- ations placed upon hig" power, sure- ly uw college president should not be permitted to run wild until disaster threatens the Institution. Trustees Rarely Restrain eat geldam hapnens that trustees restrain a college president. They are Ikely to vote, without question, for every recommendation submit- ved by the president. Trustees have ja kind of reverential feeling for the ‘president, which Inspires them to accept his word os final, Such blind devotion ‘might suc- ceed In @ feudal era, but In a com- yplex age like the present, in which ‘ment that one-third of the blindness fg asylums, and one-half of the biingness dating trom birth, 1s due to gonorrhea of the eye. An analy slg of the statistics of the Pennsyl- vania Institute for the Blind shows, 3.020 eases of blindness admitted to the school in 30 years.

In accepting the resignation, the board of trustees, by action Monday in New York City, granted Dr. McKenzie a leave of absence of a year with pay.

Since last November, Dr. McKenzie has posed as the board of the board of trustees "three times, he explained Wednesday afternoon, to be disposed of as the board saw fit. The occasion had been taken on these until he flatly resigned during his recent visit to New York. His resignation was placed in the hands of Paul Crawhill. The matter was not discussed between the two men or had been discussed with the board and Dr. McKenzie, he said. Dr. McKenzie declined to make a statement for the press with reference to the NAACP's decision to be because his selection lies solely with the board of trustees.

The officer started pulling, and the boy pulled back. At the game time he was getting his gun, said Mr. Burden. When he got out his gun, the officer commenced shooting. In answer to a question, Mr. Burden stated that he had heard the officer tell the boy, "Get in here you are." This story was corroborated in substance by Alfred B. Embrey, of 1627 Tenth street, N.

He said he was only fifteen feet away and would have shot but was afraid of wounding him. The police claimed that there was a crap game in one of the alleys and then had gone in, in response to the police call. Suffolk summoned them and led them to the scene, it was said.

Golf Clothes for Children! Yet if children played golf they would naturally have to be as comfortably and suitably attired for it as their elders who take so strenuously to the game. Natural human vanity is not the only reason for the adult's demand for proper clothing for his game of tennis, golf or whatever his particular hobby may be. Rather, he knows that to play well he must have comfortable playing clothes—clothes made for that purpose only, made just as decorative as the designer wishes so long as that original utilitarian need is not forgotten. But how many parents ever apply this same sensible test to the dressing of their children? Golf is not a children's game, so "golf clothes for children" is not a need in their young lives, but what about mud pies and marbles and jack-stones and building blocks? Sometimes in every child's life each of these may be "his game," the one game which fulfills at that time some particular need for his development. It is through his games that the child grows in muscle control, in deftness of touch, in self-expression. Would you handicap him in his play by garbing him in clothing which binds his muscles and his young limbs? Think what the result would be to Moilla Mallory's game of tennis should she appear at a tournament in a dress designed for the ballroom—dolcate shoulder straps, berried clinging tulle! Knowing how Miss Mallory plays, I imagine the tule ruffles and dolcate shoulder straps would not outlast the first round of the game, and yet how often mothers dress their children just as inappropriately, send them out to play and then scold or punish them severely if fine laces are torn and white clothes are bedraggled! I have seen children, sent to the kindergarten presumably for the good to be obtained there, refuse to participate in the games the other children played because the playing would necessitate their sitting on the floor. Sometimes if the teacher insisted that they take part in the games these children became stubborn or almost hysterical in their refusal. Invariably the wise teacher, investigating, found that these poor children had been threatened with punishment by their parents if their clothes were soiled when they came home. What child can play naturally and happily, when required constantly to protect a too elaborate dress? Unconsciously these parents were not only depriving their children of the joy and development which games afford, but they were also denying them the growth which comes from social participation; they were in grave danger, too, of developing clothes-conscious children who would later rank wearing apparel above all else in life and would judge those around them only by the ralment that they wore.

A HOME EDUCATION GOLF CLOTHES FOR CHILDREN Josephine Weyman I think that parents too often forget play to a child is the very business of life. However careless grown up persons may be about their own sport clothes, for the transaction of their business they are generally careful to dress in garments which will aid rather than hinder them. Through his play a child learns some of the great lessons of life. He learns the use of his body; he learns independence and obedience; he discovers the value of compromise and of co-operation. This is his business—this play, wherein he learns so much which will help him to live happily with himself and with others. And for this business he must have business clothes, adapted to hard and constant wear—"play clothes" made for play.

Price is only Helpful Hints BETTERING A BARGAIN Ever notice how often pieces of Val lace insertion, rather than the edging, are to be found on bargain counters? Sometimes you can buy it for a penny or two a yard; and if a body knows what to do with this insertion, a body will invest in haste at such a price. If you have any use for dainty narrow laces, buy the insertion, choosing patterns with a firm and well defined design running through the centre. Then cut away the lace along one edge of the design and you will find you have a pretty little lace edging. The edge will not fray if you are careful never to cut into the solid mesh of the pattern. RIVALS THE COOKY JAR Scraps of bread this time—buttered generously, cut in little dice as you would croutons, dusted lightly with cinnamon and sugar, then set into the oven to brown for a few minutes, and finally popped into a tin candy box and left on the pantry shelf. You should see, the kiddies make them disappear. No need to keep chickens to eat up berad scraps if you try this scheme. The fishermen in the night set drift The wind was still and calm. The soft, white waves did gently lift The boat from night till dawn. But near the noontime the next day, The clouds were gathering fast. The wind did fill the strong white salis Upon the gallant mast. The sky in the East is dark today, The waves are dashing high; "I wonder what can be the cause," Said the first mate with a sigh. There was a peal of thunder, The lightning danced and flashed; Oh! how the waves did hit the ship With a terrible deadly crash. The fishermen groped and stumbled, For the boat was rocking fast: They had forgotten to take the salis From off the strong, tall mast. The first mate was a righteous man, He prayed for hours alone. For near the rocks the vessel ran, In that terrible cyclone. His prayer was answered in due time, And the billows raged no more; The breezes sang of a trople clime, And the boat had sighted shore. This is the fishermen's adventure, On the ocean wide and deep: We do not want to make our graves Where the billows rise and hean. -EDITH THOMAS. 422 Wilson Terrace. Govans, Md.

The Largest Grocery House in the World Household Suggestions When you turn your old shades bottom side up, tack a strip of gummed tissue along the edge of the linen. This will hold it more firmly and prevent it from tearing loose easily at a sudden jerk, while still permitting it to roll up slowly. After several hours of shopping or travel I have frequently sought to remove the traces of dirt and smoke, only to find there was no soap in the rest room to meet the emergency. Now I keep a tube of shaving cream in my bag. This takes up little room and is neater and more convenient to carry than soap. To be sure that the labels will remain in place on jelly glasses and fruit and vegetable jars dip them in hot paraffin and quickly stick them on. Before I wash scrim, curtains I bastes the edges together, having the material folded down the center. I leave them this way, until after they are ironed, then remove the basting threads, and the edges can be no other way but even. It takes only a short time to do the basting with long stitches. When emptying the vacuum cleaner bag, try slipping the open end into a large paper sack. Then the cleaner bag may be shaken with but little danger of spilling the lint and dust. When moving from place to place I have found nothing better than cereal cartons for packing fruit jars, empty or full. These cartons are also excellent for storing fruit if your have no dark closet, and in any case they keep the cans clean. Write the name of the fruit on the lid or the side of the carton for convenience. A time saver on cleaning day is a market basket divided into sections to hold dust cloths, oiled dusters, window cloths, soaps, powders and brushes. The kitchen table usually has a drawer where the every-day silver or kitchen cutlery is kept. If this drawer is lined with several thicknesses of paper, the top sheet can be lifted out when it becomes soil- ed and another will, we ready for use, thus saving the petty annoyance of frequently having to cut papers to fit the drawer. The same idea can be used with a bird cage. When in need of hot compresses try using a potato ricer for wringing the cloths. Very hot water can then be used without hurting the hands.

SALMON SALAD The following method of stretching curtains has proved very simple and satisfactory. I drive four stakes into the ground, making the distance between them conform to the original measurements of the curtains. After the curtains are washed I run a rod in each end and hook them over the stakes. The curtains will hang as straight as when new and will not have the little pin holes along the edges as they do when put on ordinary stretchers My two little girls disliked drinking milk until I got for their own special use an ice tea set. Now they usually call for a second glass as it is such fun to use a different colored sipper with each glass of milk. It is fun, too, to see which one will be the first to finish. The last one through has to wash the sippers and glasses. I find an electric percolator very convenient for heating a small amount of water, and the process does not injure the percolator in the least. A bit of peanut butter dropped in the center of each graham muffin or whole wheat gem, just before putting them in the oven, gives a new and nutty flavor that is surprising. A discarded toothbrush is the handiest kind of implement for keeping the wicks of the oil stove clean. I use a long shoe buttoner to pull pans forward in the oven, finding it more convenient than anything else I have ever tried. I find a quart fruit jar a convenient receptacle in which to keep soap flakes for dish washing. First I put a strip of adhesive tape around it, half way up, to keep it from slipping out of a wet hand. Try using narrow elastic at the top and bottom of your sash curtains. It is strong and very satisfactory. My family is very fond of milk toast. To make a change I sometimes add to the thickened milk half a cup of raisins which have been stewed until soft.

You will find this salmon salad different as well as delicious. One cup canned salmon, 1 cup shredded lettuce, 1 hard cooked egg, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, shad dressing, head lettuce, mayonnaise. Remove skin and bones from salmon and separate into large flakes. Sprinkle with lemon juice and let stand in a cold place-half hour. Cut leaf lettuce with enough tart salad dressing to make quite moist. Arrange on a bed of head lettuce and garnish with slices of hard cooked egg. Top with mayonnaise and sprinkle with paprika. My family thought they didn't like rice until I prepared it this way. Use 1 cup rice, 4 tablespoons butter, 1¼ cups canned tomatoes, rubbed thru a sieve, ½ tablespoon salt, 1 teaspoon sugar, ½ teaspoon pepper, ¼ cup grated cheese. Cook rice in boiling salted water until tender. Drain, if necessary, and pour boiling water thru it. Cover and let stand until dry. Melt butter in hot frying pan, add rice and shake over the fire until the kernels are well coated with butter and slightly browned. Bring strained tomatoes to the boiling point, season with salt, sugar and pepper and pour over rice in a hot serving dish. Sprinkle with cheese, lifting rice lightly with a fork in order to mix cheese thru rice. Serve at once. Washington, D.

Swift, S. J. In Canadian "Messenger" Saturday, May 2 Story Of A C "Murillo's Mulatto" b In Canadian Along about the year 1630, in the fair city of Seville in Spain, five young men who were studying art under the direction of the famous Spanish painter, Murillo, chanced to arrive together at the door of his studio Hardly had they entered and prepared to take up their tasks when each one of them began to blame all the others for meddling with his palette and brushes and adding some decorative touches to the work that had been left on the easels when they had placed everything in order at the close of the preceding day. Murillo taught art, but he was untiring in endearing to impress lessons of order on his students. Perhaps the artistic temperament reluctantly descends to such petty matters as carefully covered easels, and brushes and palettes in their proper places; but, be that as M. may, the young men knew the artist's rule and tried to follow it. The five were conversing so noisily that, without their perceiving it, the great master himself entered unobserved in the midst of the hubbub. Somebody There It was plain that, during their absence over night, somebody had been there and had added a line here or a stroke there, while even the cases bore mute testimony that they had come in for a share of the unknown artist's attention. Murillo called his slave boy, Sebastian, a had of about 14 years of age, and asked who had visited the studio before the arrival of the students, for it was the slave boy's duty to sleep in the room and keep it in order. : "Nobody." answered the box. "Nobody!" thundered Murillo. "Well tonight you remain here awake and you catch the intruder, or you will get twenty-five lashes." BILIOUSNESS Retired Minister Tells How He Keeps in Good Form. The Rev. Lewis Evans, a well-known retired minister, past 80, living at West Graham, Va., says: "For years I had been suffering with my liver. Sometimes the pain would be very intense and my back would hurt all the time. Black-Draught was the first thing I found that would give me any relief. "My liver has always been sluggish. Sometimes it gives me a lot trouble. I have suffered a lot with it—pains in my side and back, and bad headache, caused from extreme biliousness. "After I found Black-Draught, I would begin to take it as soon as I felt a spell coming on and it relieved the cause at once. I can recommend it to anybody suffering from liver trouble. A dose or two now and then keeps me in good form." Made from selected medicinal roots and herbs, and containing no dangerous mineral drugs, Black-Draught is nature's own remedy for a tired, lazy liver. Sold everywhere.

I could not work and I just dragged around the house. "I got very thin—I went from 126 pounds down to less than 100. My mother had long been a user of Cardui and she knew what a good medicine it was for this trouble, so she told me to get some and take it. I sent to the store after it and before I had taken the first bottle I began to improve. "My sides hurt less and I began to improve in health. . . The Cardui acted as a fine tonic and I do not feel like the same person. I am so much better. I am well now. "I have gained 10 pounds and am still gaining. My sides do not trouble me at all.

"Give him a goldpiece," suggested another. "Take him into the class," chimed in a third. "Ask your liberty," suggested another in a very loud whisper. Little Sebastian, quite overcome, knelt down before his now beaming owner. "My father's freedom," was all that he could find words to say.

His father, who was also Murillo's "lawful property," crept up stealthily through the darkness to share the boys' vigil, but Sebastian begged him to go to his well-earned rest and assured him that he could get on very well without his friendly presence. The feeble rays of a small night-lamp served but to make the darkness of the studio more pronounced. The boy's eyes were heavy, but he remained bravely at his post as the hours dragged slowly by. Alas for good intentions! Sebastian had resolved to stand up all night for fear of yielding to fatigue, but, half asleep and half awake, he finally tumbled down on the mat which was his only bed and soon forget his sorrows in merciful sleep. When next the slave boy opened his eyes, the sun's early rays were beginning to peep in at the windows. Up he sprang and resumed his watch. Even as he stood on guard, his eyes roved restlessly and wistfully hither and thither, and his fingers began to itch. He would run the risk! On a certain canvas, one of the students had outlined the head of a Madonna. Seizing a palette and brushes, Sebastian gave free rein to his glowing fancy. The painting grew under his deft touch. As he worked lovingly, devotedly, he was so absorbed that he did not hear the door open, and paid no head to the great artist who stood in the doorway with his five chosen disciples. "You, Master."

Several paintings of exceptional merit are still to be seen in Seville. They are the creation of Sebastian Gomez, Murillo's mulatto. One of these paintings, into which the freedman must have poured his very soul, represents our Divine Saviour bound to the column with the repentant Peter bowed down in anguish at His sacred feet. No one is of obscure origin if he has a noble spirit. Day by day in every way; the Negro is getting wise; He is accomplishing wonderful feats which others oft despise. He is grasping opportunities and securing necessities of life. Even though he must endure hardship, toll and strife.

For the sake of our posterity we must lay a firm foundation.

Before the Meal is served. Before the meal which is to be served comes from the kitchen by way of the butler's pantry to the dining room, there are many things to be considered. The preparation of the meal (not the process of its cooking, but its planning as a composite whole) and all the various details which precede the actual sitting down at the table of those who expect to enjoy it, must be seen to. The preparation of the meal, its menu, will be dealt with later, in connection with the meal itself. For he present we will concentrate on its preparatory aspects, in the Butler's Pantry. The butler's pantry is the connecting link between kitchen and dining room. It is at the same time an arsenal and a reserve line, equipped with requisitions to meet all exigencies. The perfect butler's pantry should contain everything from vegetable brushes for cleaning celery to galvanized refuse can. In between come matches, bread boards, soap, ammonia and washing soda, a dish drainer, every kind of towel, cheesecloth and holder, strainers (for tea, coffee and punch), ice water, punch and soap pitchers of enamel ware, the tools and seasonings for salad making, cut-glass brushes, and knives of different sizes. a In the butter's pantry the soiled linen should be kept, if possible in a hamper, if not, in a bag. There should also be a towel rack, an electric or hot-water heater for keeping food hot and—we are speaking of the ideal pantry, of course—a small ice-box where table butter, cream and salad dressing may be kept, and plates chilled for serving cold dishes. Adding a linen closet with shelves, a chest of drawers (for tablecloths, napkins, doilies, centerpieces, etc.) and the necessary shelves for china and glass (hang your cups and save space!), and we may leave the briar's pantry and enter the dining room. To the Table We not only waste time on directions regarding, the laying of the table cloth. Only remember that it must form a true line through the center of the table (your "silence cloth" had best be, of table pudding, a double cotton channel or asbestos, and not to hang below the table less than nine inches. The usual arrangement of the co. terpiece in the center of the table (the table itself being immediately under the light, unless the waitress is thereby prevented from moving between the table and sideboard) with its dish of fruit or ferns or flowers (never so high as to cut off view of conversation) can be varied to suit individual taste. But the covers (the plates, glasses, napkin and silver of each individual), must always be in line, opposite each other on the opposite sides of the table. The plate doilies indicate the covers when a bare table is laid. The service plate which each person receives stays where put unless it is replaced by a hot plate. Napkins, Silver, China and Glass Napkins (folded flat and square) lie at the left of the forks. The hem of the napkins, turned up, should parallel the forks and the table edge. When dinner is served without a maid, everything yields to avoiding leaving the table. In that case put on the dessert silver (which otherwise should not be done) with the other dinner silver. Place all silver in its order for use, and remember that three forks are enough. If more are needed let them appear with the courses which demand them. The quietest and most desirable way of putting the dessert silver on the table, is to serve it from a napkin, from the right. Knives should have their cutting edge toward the plate, at its right, and lie half an inch from the table edge. Spoons, bowls facing upward, lie at the right of the knife; forks at the left of the plate. When shell food is served (clams oysters or mussels) the fork is placed at the right of the plate. The upper righthand side of the bread and butter plate is the place for the butter spreader. In general do not arrange your cover too loosely, and see to it that the glass, china and silver for each cover sets close without the pieces touching. Glasses are placed just above the knives, a little to the right. Neither cups nor glasses should ever be filled to the brim. The bread and butter plate (bread and butter are, as a rule, not served with formal dinners) somewhat to the left, beyond the service plate. Between each two covers, or just in front of each, place your pepper and salt sets. The salt spoon lies across the open saltcellar. When the table is set for some impromptu meal at which a knife will not be used the fork takes the place of the knife at the right-hand side, and the teaspoon is laid beside the fork. Desirable Improvements No one wants to see the inner economy of the butler's pantry, nor should the perhaps fragrant but cloying odors of the kitchen be waited into the dining room whenever the swingdoor of the pantry opens or closes. The screen obviates both disadvantages. Another improvement has been the introduction of the serving table in place of the sideboard. It now conveniently holds all the extras needed for the meal. B-A-T-O-U-A-L-A Page Ten A warrior in a shield and spear confronts a kneeling man in a mask. CHAPTER V. There was a great commotion. The huge distant noise had descended on Grimarl. Now it came from somewhere near the crossing of the roads from Pouyamba and Pankagoura. It approached nearer and neorer, it reached the commandant's cattle shed, it crossed the bridge spanning the Bembe, and then suddenly it clapped down upon the Government grounds. But no longer a huge distant noise. N'Gakoura had changed into a band of young men and women, who advanced dancing, naked, wild-eyed, their hair close-shorn, their bodies whitened with ashes and maniac. (Death strike him who did not notice this costume!) They accompanied their leaps and bounds with words, nasal or gultural, that no one understood. For they used the Samall, the sacred language. They moved under a sort of frenzy regulated by the songs and the koundes. The crowd on the grounds could now distinguish them. Shouts went up, and inextinguishable roar, which awoke the hornbills along the Bembe and the Pombo and set them cackling in the moonlit night. A strange, sudden joy shook the multitude on the grounds. They started to their feet, the warriors seized their weapons, dogs barked, babies wailed, and the women, drunk with kene, drunk with the tumult, beat their feet on the ground, and shouted, shouted: The linghas set up their hollow booming. What magic of light upon the land! Only the trees and the leaves seemed the blacker for the scattering of whiteness. The ground was white. The kagus were white. The roads were roads of white linen. The Pombo and the Bembe rolled waters of moonlight. The warriors waited crouching behind their shields, their javelins in their fists. At a roll of the tom-toms they raised themselves upright, and with lifted shields and brandished javelins, rushed down to the Bembe. There, swiftly turning, they ran back to their starting point with loud outcries. The ga'nzas danced to their place. An overwhelming burst of shouts, songs, balafons, koundes, linghas. The festivity now began in full form. The leaders were the mouloundjsi-yangba. See how they had consecrated themselves—with long birds' feathers in their plaked hair and bells tinkling at wrists, knees and ankles. Three of them, swinging, their arms and knocking their knees together, came forward to perform mummeries. Their grimaces increased the crowd's delight. By degrees the emotions of the crowd spread and swelled into a frenzy. The wringing of the bells on the mouloundjisyangba sounded louder and louder amid the clapping of hands and the smacking of tongues. The dance, the dance. Now for the dance. A tremor went through the crowd. Children came forward into the space left clear by the throngs surrounding the ganzas, and danced. They gesticulated, they shook their bodies, they wavod their arms and legs, and went through extravagant contortions, unconsciously imitating the adults, they had seen dancing in the moonlight outside the huts. Women came to take their places, stepping single flies, the one behind with her hands on the shoulders of the one in front. They were naked, their hair was anointed with castor-oil, their ears, lips and nistle were hung with vari-colored glass beads, copper bracelets encircled their wrists and ankles. They formed a large round, and began to move and turn like fireflies in the dusk. At a signal from a tom-tom the round opened into a semicircle. With a rhythmic chant and the regular beat of their hands and feet, the women sustained the cadence of the koundes, li'nghas and balafone. Faster went the tempo. One of the women dancers, covered with perspiration, her eyes, closed, her body slack, moved to the middle and front of the semicircle made by the parted round. Should she show signs of falling, there would be those behind to catch her, and those at the horns of the crescent to keep her upright. She took three steps forward.

She offered herself to an invisible someone. Rebuffed! She recolled—one, two, three. As if overcome by weakness and shame at continued rejection, she let herself fall backward. Her friends ran to support her. In despair she moved, according to the rules of the dance, to the left tip of the figure, while one of the women at the opposite tip moved to the center, to try in her turn for success where the other had failed. When the time came for the men—delirium! Mouths wide-open in deafening shouts, faces dissolved in sweat, a beating and a stamping that shook the ground. And what cries! What laughter! What gestures! For the presence of so many men and women, the beer, the hemp, the dancing, the joy, and redoubled the thrilling warmth of desire. There were tweve men almost naked. Bissibingul was the handsomest of all. The strongest too. His muscles stood out, his eyes glowed like the brush on fire. He commanded his companion because he dominated them with fine, tall vigorous, sinewy figure. Their bodies were smeared red with oil and powdered cam-wood, and hung with bells and grelots from feathered headgear down to the cords tying their lion clothes. A strong smell came from their skin. The sweat of fatigue rolled over their tattooing. Fatigue! They were not aware of it. All they cared about was the yangba. Life was short. The day soon came when one was unfit, even for love. Did not every sun bring death nearer? Ah, what better than to enjoy life while there was still time! They bent ow, touched the ground with their hands, and held them there long enough for two or three antics. Then they suddenly threw them back and, with their bodies still bent, stamped their feet alternately while waving their arms, up and down, up and down, like the wings of a great kite that has pounced upon its prey, has caught it in its claws, and indolently volplanes in the motionless sky. Finally, they wheeled about, made a tremendous leap, landing on hands and feet, and matched their gestures to the tom-tom of the li'nghas. Ga-'nza—ga'nza—ga-nza! They will give you a ga'nza, Ga-'nza—ga'nza—ga-nza! An old man, covered with gris-gris (fetishes) and carrying a knife, stood up in front of the youths. An old woman likewise waited beside the girls. And the elders, close beside the two old people, laughed to see the young people dance, these young ones who were soon to suffer. Ga'nza—ga'nza—ga'nza! Girls, you will be women, Youth's you will be men, This evening after ga'nza, Ga'nza—ga'nza—ga'nza! Ga'nza—ga'nza—ga'nza!

"For one moon and another moon you have hidden yourselves away from profane eyes, you have whitened your bodies so that death shall not carry then off to his village. "You have spoken the sacred language and none other. You have lived off roots and herbs, far from the eyes of the profane. "For one moon and another moon you have slept no matter where—no matter where and no matter how. You have abstained from laughter and from joy. "N'Gakourn is well content with you. Your trial is over. You may enjoy yourselves. You may laugh, dance, live in the open, speak, and sleep on your hogbos. "You will soon be men. You will soon be women. In a little while you will undergo gan'nza. "Your tria is over. You may enjoy yourselves. You may laugh and dance." Ga'nza—ga'nza—ga'nza! Ga'nza—ga'nza—ga'nza! The balafone, li'nghas and koundes thundered like a storm—to stifle possible outcries. The ceremony began. The first patient staggered. With cudgels raised in the air, the men rushed upon him. If a trifling pain was enough to upset them, then he was unworthy of being a man. He must be struck down. He must die. That was the will of custom. But cheating them of their murderous lust, the new ga'nza joined the surrounding crowd. He must pretend to ignore his pain, he must dance and sing. Ga'nza --ga'nza—ga'nza—ga'nza! A man in ga'nza's arms A man is gazza once in his life. Indifferent to the uproar, the two old people went about their business, mechanically, hearing nothing. They resembled reapers at harvest-time who go through the fields carrying sickles. Young girls, very pale, certain of what was coming, danced in gyrations. In spite of everything they could not help trembling with fear. The old woman came up and attended to the girls. Ga'nza—ga'nza—ga'nza—ga'nza! A man is ga'nga, a woman, too, But once in life. You are one of us now, men! You are one of us, women! Now you are ga'nza. Ga'nza—ga'nza—ga'nza—ga'nza! The ceremony was over. The tumult reached its height. What had gone before was nothing. All the preceding noises and outcries; the confused dancing had only been a preparation for what was to come—the dance of love, scarcely ever danced but on this evening, when they were permitted to indulge in debauchery and crime. The li'nghas, the balafons, the koundes vied with each other in a frenzy. The hornbills, awakened out of their sleep, crackled grimly. The night birds of prev made a frightened fuss over the yangba. But their hooting was drowned in this explosion of madness. Two women appeared. One of them was Yassigulndjia, the wife of Batouala, the mokoundji. The other was still a virgin. They were naked. They wore necklaces of glass beads, rings in alve For BALD SPOTS and DANDRUFF 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.

Their bodies were overlaid with a dark red glaze. In addition to these festive adornments, Yassiguintjia wore an emblem that indicated the role she was to play in the dance. At first she danced only with her hips. Her feet never moved from the one spot. Then, slowly, she glided father than walked up to her partner. The girl drew back. She did not want to yield. Her face and gestures expressed alarm. Yassiguintjia, feigning disappointment, stepped violently. The girl, having recovered from her unreasonable alarm, offered herself from a distance. The woman glided up to her again. The girl suffered her to come closer. Thus the dance of love continued to the end, the girl resisting, the man, symbolized in Yassiguintjia, trying to win her love, and finally succeeding. A smell of sweat and alcohol spread, more pungent than the smoke. Couples formed. They danced as Yassiguintjia and her friend had danced. Intoxication. It was the immense joy of brutes loosed from all control. They came to words and blows. Blood flowed. No difference. Desire alone was master. More of the tom-tom, but no more of the kounde or balaton. The performers wanted to share in the joy they had evoked, maintained, and increased. They mingled with the crowd and danced the dance of love, the chief dance, the one from which all the others derive without ever equalling it. They danced. A warm vapor arose from the multitude like the mists that steam up from the earth after a rain. A couple, dancing, fell to the ground. Suddenly, his fingers twitching about a knife in his hand, Batouala the mokoundji rushed upon this couple. He was foaming. His fist was raised for the blow. More nimbly than n'gouhilles (monkeys) Bissibingui and Yassi-guindjia leapt out of his reach. He pursued them. Ah, those children of a dog had the impudence to desire each other before his very eyes! He'd have the skin of that strumpet. As for Bissibingui, he'd castrate him. Ah, wouldn't the women make fun of him then! Yassiguindjia! The idea Hadn't he bought her with seven walstcloths, a box of salt, three copper collars, a bitch, four pots, six hens, 20 she goats, 40 big baskets of millet, and a girl slave! Ah, he'd make Yassiguindjia take the test poison. The outcries and the unspenkable confusion were succeeded by a swiftly descending, tremendous stupor. Then, all of a sudden, in the silence, a shout went up. "The commandment! The commandment!" There was a general stampede for the villages. "The commandment! The commandment!" Gradually the multifarious noise of the fleeing horde passed into silence. Amind the debris of all sorts, the food and the fires, only one old man remained. Leaning against one of the liinghas, he seemed to be sound asleep. One—two! One—two! One—two! Right about face! Att—" The thump of the butt-cads of muskets upon the ground. The tourougous had returned. "Ixe!" Sergeant Sillatigul Kotnate shouted in command. Then, in a moment or two: "Do!" The commander arrived on horseback at a gentle "Right-dress!" the sergeant commanded again. "What does this mess mean, Sandoukou?" asked the commandment, calling the sergeant by his native nickname. "And what was the ramput I heard only a moment ago?" "Your honor, Boula is a simpleton and a lazybones. The Mbi and their friends felt like coming here and getting drunk. The men I met on the road a little while ago told me so." "Good, Excellent. This very day the Mbi chiefs shall pay me one hundred francs fine. If not let them heware of prison—a whipping first, then prison." "Very well, your honor." "And who is that dirty nigger asleep over them?"

Eatouala must some right away and remove his old father's carcass double quick. And that noodle Boula. Where is he—that three-legged calf, that dolt, that ninny? Ah, there he is. How do you do, my Kouloungoulou! How do you do, my dear sir. Get out of here with your dirty mug. I don't know what keeps me from smashing in that big flat nose of yours. I will some day. In the meanwhile, to teach you how to take care of the grounds while I am away, will you permit me to give you two weeks in prison, one week without pay. And now off with you—out of here as fast as you can, you piece of dung. I flatter you by calling you that. Mr. Boula is displeased? Yes? If so, all Mr. Boula need do is run to the Governor, if he's in as much of a hurry as am I to pester him—!Sillattigui, everybody is to keep quiet—today—Sunday. Understand? Dismiss!"

'S CELEBR Afro's Official Critic His Second Ann Calls For Less "Fudge" and More "Good Morning Judge" and More " Afro's Official Critic Issues His Second Annual Report Calls For Less "Fudge" and More "Kelly Miller," Less "Good Morning Judge" and More "Henry F. Arnold" These articles might appear perennial, but knowing the attitude of the Editor of your estimable paper I am sure that this article, like all others sent by the writer, will be received in the spirit that it is written. Professor Fudge I have been somewhat deeply grieved to find that with all the ability that Miss Marian Anderson has along the musical line and with all the success that the lady has had in her favored line with people of her age, she was never shadowed by an article of some weeks ago in which the editor of the Prof. Fudge column found it possible to attract attention to the fact that her dress on the night of one of her performances was not as rich as the dress she had been led to believe that small things like the clothes that a person wore could be quite forgotten when that person had reached such enviable heights as the Miss Marian Anderson has been able to reach. It must be a rare thing to have such heights in the Philharmonic Society for I have no recollection of a great number having attained such prominence. But even if I am wrong in the last surprise then surely the heights that the lady has attained should not go wrong. I am not to stoop or to pick out such a tawdry thing as the mere detail of the richness of the wearing apparel. Possibly the editor of the Prof. Fudge column is not to be taken seriously but since he is given a place of prominence on the editorial page surely he is to be considered even as the weekly writings of Prof. Kelly *Miller*, the editors and the news items he has been given to understand that the lady in question has been able to provide a comfortable home for her mother and that at this time she is putting a sister through a conservatory. Most Colossal Sfn But the most colossal of sins that your paper has committed recently has been the criticism that appeared several weeks ago about the singing of the Hampton and Tuskegee Universities. In my mind the words that your paper objected to were just as small details as was the kind of dress that Miss Anderson wore. In taking into consideration all the good that the Alice Chish has done, assistance, and advice from the other race as well as helping the other race to understand that there is something surely appealing and worthwhile in our race, the fact that some of the songs sung have had words in them objectionable to us and time could surely be overlooked. I am quite sure that the personality and individuality of the Negro has in no way been lowered by the singing of these spirituals, but on the contrary, the Negro has possibly never considered his ability or his rights.

Arnold" get that in the Southland there exist conditions that cannot be wiped out by force and which must be wiped out by careful consideration of the ele- ments involved and by a perfect un- derstanding between the races con- cerned If the spirituals as sung by the Glee Clubs of Hampton and Tuskegee help wipe out those barriers and if the Clubs are not guilty of putting anything into those spirituals that the author did not put, surely you do wrong by inferring that the members of those clubs are selling their rights or stooping to do things that will surely hurt the race, when the same thing is done is possibly doing more to help the better relations of the races than the belittling of their efforts on the part of your paper can ever do. A proof of good journalism, may I remark that the Arno has made itself a real paper in many ways. I feel that it has greatly improved over the standard set when the editor of today was still in school, and that he has been able to get his ideas of modern journalism over for the first time since his school years, books are very expensive and up-to-date with several pages of the same, the children's, the women's pages are very good, the new press modern to the last detail, the building renovated and a pleasant place to work in from appearances, the personnel strictly race. Even if the Good Morning Judge column still holds the proof reading just a little off most times, the paper is the best race paper in the country. (If there were just a little more definite policy of sticking to the achievements of the race, individually and collectively, a little more boost to the things that require training and practice, just a little less demand, just a little less commitment of the power courts as our people show them, a little more of Henry F.

Wilson Editor of the Afro-American, delivered an interesting lecture on Negro Journalism before Morgan College Students Wednesday at the lecture period. He gave the history of Negro journalism in America; spoke on the problems of developing Negro newspapers; possibilities in Negro journalism and on newspaper production. Mr. Jones' speech was especially interesting and appropriate in view of the fact that only a few days prior to his address the President announced that a course in journalistic writing would be offered in the grammar school. Should the demand be met, the courses in journalism will be offered in the regular school term. Many New Courses In addition to the courses in Journalism, there are several new courses to be offered in the summer school. Prof. G. David Houston, former Professor of English in Howard University, will offer courses in Journalism and Technique of Short Story Writing. Prof. Schachne Isaacs, of Hopkins University, will offer a course in Experimental Psychology and one in Applied Psychology. Several new courses in Junior and Senior High School Methods will be offered also. Omegas Elect.

Mrs. Helen Rich Is Acclaimed "Miss Baltimore" At Regent Theatre LOCAL BUSINESS MEN SHOW GENEROSITY The Beauty Crest at the Recent Theatre end last Friday night in a "blaze o' glory" as far as the whiner, Mrs. Helen Rich, the Hornetsthe firm, the owners and Mr. Cincinnatus Major, the manager of the affair were concerned. By nine o'clock there was a hurried scuffle for S. R. O. signs, there was a waiting line that stretched a quarter of a block. On the stroke of nine the act drop went up disclosing Miss Baltimore in all her loveliness. Yes, loveliness, for the lady is a magnificent brown child with teeth, hair, form, and all of the other trimmings that make men want to go and "hock the family E. Milton Gross was slated for the berth of official announcer. His non-appearance at the hour caused frantic S. O. S. signals to be sent to the schoolmaster. Lee Stevens was pressed into service. Between Stevens and "Tiny," Bright the customers were told what it was all about. Everybody was introduced. There were nice things said about the losers (about the same, sort of things that are included in the play). Then they got down to "brass tacks." Mr. Burton and other Pennsylvania Avenue merchants donated wearing apparel, flow and whatnots. And best of all issue Hornstein presented 50 bucks (not maybe). The audience applauded and Mrs. Rich smiled and laughed up in the chair confided to the next chair holder "She had something to smile for." Girl Catches Fire In Police Cell Girl Catches Fire In Police Cell Having a girl screaming in her cell in the Northeastern Police Station, the turnkey rushed in and found Lucilla Rawls, 1338 E. Monument street; with her clothes on fire Wednesday. The girl, who had been locked up on a charge of disturbing the peace, was in an intoxicated condition at the time of the occurrence. She had been arrested with Leon Banks, 1153 Mckinley E. Monument street, after the Banks girl was said to have thrown a lamp on her. The cause of fire in the cell, according to the police, was due to the fact that the girl's clothes were saturated with cool oil from the lamp when she lit a match in an attempt to light a fire. The girl was estimated before any damage was done. Later the girl was fined $25 and costs on a charge of disturbing the peace. Tuesday, 5 P. M., Dead Line Call VErnon 6017 SARYOF GOOD MOR GOOD MORNING JUDGE The Afro-Court Reporter When Edgar Tyler, 1808 Madison avenue, was awakened at 2:30 in the morning by a man's voice in a supposed to be vacant room next to his thought burglar were in the house. Tyler crept from his bed and went to surprise the house breaker. Before entering the room he booked the room occupied by Blanc and he found that the pt thickened, for she was not in bed as she should have been. Not only did this man burglarize his home, but he had also kidnapped his wife. This was the thought that surged through Tyler's brain as he proceeded to smash through the door. The door gave way before his onrush, there stood the bad, bold band, holding Blanc in his arms. Much to Tyler's surprise she was not struggling to free herself a fact it seemed to be useless. To make matters worse Tyler found himself looking into the business end of a revolver which he continued to watch with his hands extended in the air until the midnight visitor walked calmly out of the house. The wheels of the law were soon put in action, however, and John Saunders, 922 Pear street, was arrested as the defendant called at irregular hours. He insisted that the wife of the invitation of this wife, but in spite of this the judge fined him $10 and cost. The young woman who caused all the trouble, to keep from explaining either pro or con, found it convenient to be absent at the time of trial. Charles Liscimba, 714 Kevin street, as a bank financier is nothing else but. Not only this, but a recent transaction landed him into the police court. Liscimba was a highly honored guest at a wayne street, 818 Charles street, and while the jovial atmosphere precluded everything he struck his host for a loan of $10. Gentry refused to lend the money without proper security and herein begins the story. Security Liscimba unhooked a pair of earnings from his sleeping wife and hurried back to get the ten shot. With equal forethought BRIDEGROOM GIRL SHOT LOSES VOICE Victim Of Jilde Girl's Rage Will Recover Say Attendants That Columbus Wills, 507 N. Bethel street, who now speaks at a whisper, may lose his voice completely was a statement made by hospital authorities late this week. Wills, who was shot in the mouth after his marriage to Miss Lena Woods. Sunday by a former sweetheart was reported in a serious condition. The young wife, whose honeymoon was so suddenly interrupted by the fatal occurrence, reported for work Monday following the wedding and is trying to earn money to give her husband the necessary treatment. Shot Meant For Wife Miss Lizzie Butler, who made a dash from the capital upon receipt of a telegram informing her of a marriage of her former lover is being held for the action of the grand jury. From information from intimate friends of the girl, it was denied that the skirt was intended for the man, but for his wife. The two young women are alleged to have engaged in a fight following the wedding during which several missiles are said to have been thrown. The Butler girl was struck with a vase and received a tacerated forehead. The husband atemped the attack and said he Miss Butler drew a gun and shot at her rival. The bullet went wild lodging in Will's mouth. Who Sent Telegram As yet it has not been ascertained just who sent the mystic telegram causing the rejected lover to rush to Baltimore. It was later learned that a letter was also sent informing the young woman of the proposed wedding this seemingly did not reach her in time then the telegram was sent. The finger of the girl's friend, including one of the grooms own sisters. This however will be revealed at the time of the trial.

Strange part of this new course of study, instruction in these subjects for some that not a single colored teacher was as a member of the committee or contribute to it is a beneficial experience which results in a committee of this kind. New created knowledge and the opportunity to study to the local situation make a contribution to be valued. Dr. West shut out all colored teachers, two reasons: either he did not want them colored, or he did not want them because he in their efficiency. Without we know Superintendent West will mean that the question of efficiency is last, and the question of color first. Most people resist waking up. They yawn, turn over, cover up, and try to stay asleep. No matter what the hour, they are not quite ready to wake up. They look daggers at the alarm clock, and curse the sun for shining in through the window. And yet, waking up is a precious experience. There's nothing else like it. To come out of darkness into light, out of dormacy into consciousness, out of inertia into activity. Everybody should look forward to waking up—not only out of sleep, but out of ignorance, bad habits, laziness, discouragement and many other things. Such awakening can take place all day long—everyday. Don't resist it with a yawn, don't turn away from it, and don't try to cover up. Be ready for it. Be willing to learn, to be active, to go ahead, and to be a credit to those who are for you. Superintendent West Again "The Social Studies" is the name of a course of study for senior and junior high schools in history, civics and economics. It is a volume of 578 pages and represents the work of 4 teachers of the junior and senior high schools of the city, under the direction of Superintendent West. The strange part of this new course of study, which is to regulate instruction in these subjects for some years to come, is that not a single colored teacher was asked to become a member of the committee or contribute to its work. There is a beneficial experience which results from the deliberations of a committee of this kind. New points of view, increased knowledge and the opportunity to fit the course of study to the local situation make a committee assignment a thing to be valued. Still Dr. West shut out all colored teachers from this work for two reasons: either he did not want them because they are colored, or he did not want them because he did not believe in their efficiency. Nevertheless we know Superintendent West well enough to be certain that the question of efficiency is lax, always in his mind and the question of color first. Mr. Boy's Week Hughes no prejudice against colored people because I roar old colored mammals with colored people openly on the street and other day who use to work for men. He is colored at it and I shook hands with him. He was coming up to the street. If I call him A. C. to talk with some colored men, I will all night at the home of a colored man in No Moor. But I could not do that.

This decided to say nothing to the colored celebration to whites. This could be the main events in private hotels and public people would be welcomed. have nothing but pity for Mr. Hughes and a committee who may be as narrow minded to say only publicly that one member of him to namely: "If I were a member of committee, commissioned to provide a proof of the city, we would cut off our right hand intentionally omit any boys merely be green or yellow or red or white." Mister Hughes. Shucks, it was lost on and continued his reminiscences of his I have no prejudice against colored people because I from Virginia and had an old color-menmy. I don't prejudice colored people openly on the street. I met Tween shakes hips with colored people openly on the street. I met a man the other day who used to men. He is colored and took to dancing with him. I told some of my friends that I was coming up to the Drudg Hill Branch of the Y. M. C. A. to talk with some colored men, and they reached at one. I then arrived all night at the home of a colored man in North Africa. He was a Moor. But I could not do that here. If I did my friends would call me, you know, it nigger lover. Thus rambled on a silver haired old gentleman, who gave his name as Hughes and declared himself to be chairman of the Boys' Week committee sponsored by the city this week. Mr. Hughes was asked by a delegation at the Y. M. C. A. why no effort was made to organize the movement for colored boys' week such as he and his fellows planned among the whites, especially since the city had put up the money. The delegation complained that they were given a rare week's notice, and then Mr. Hughes began his rambling explanation of things which had nothing at all to do with the subject. Eventually the truth came out and it was something like this. Last year colored boys were placed at the end of the Boys' Week parade and a protest was made. This year the committee decided to say nothing, to the colored boys and confine the celebration to whites. This could be done byaging the main events in private hotels and parks where colored people would be welcomed. We have nothing but pity for Mr. Hughes and any others of his committee who may be as narrow minded as he, and we desire to say only publicly that one member of the delegation said to him: namely, "If I were a member of the Boys' Week Committee, commissioned to provide a program for the boys of the city, we would cut off our right hand before we would intentionally omit any boys merely because they happen to be green or yellow or red or white." But Mister Hughes. Shucks, it was lost on him. He grinned and continued his reminiscences of his old colored mummy.

"Men are not gagged anywhere that faps the correspondent of the AFRO made to this newspaper, but we rather think its article states definitely what Mr. Garvy that Sunday morning, that he is washing his daily duties in the prison, and that it is studying sociology and history. It quote action upon a cartoon printed in a Chica "THE AFRO-AMERICAN, or any other newspaper, lies when ever it publishes any statement as made by me to any of its representatives or to anyone within the confines of Atlanta prison." Thus speaks the "Negro World" last week, editorially, referring to a newspaper article in the AFRO of April 18, which quotes Mr. Garvey as saying he expects to be deported, and can work under the Union Jack now his movement is underway. "Men are not gagged anywhere that flag floats." Perhaps the correspondent of the AFRO made an error in his report to this newspaper, but we rather think not. The same news article states definitely what Mr. Garvey had for breakfast that Sunday morning, that he is washing dishes as a part of his daily duties in the prison, and that in his spare time he is studying sociology and history. It quoted in addition his reaction upon a cartoon printed in a Chicago weekly. The "Negro World," by its silence on these points evidently admits their truth. The AFRO would not knowingly print any false information concerning the fallen leader. If Mr. Garvey did not recall the conversation with a fellow prisoner who sent the news to the AFRO, we should not be blamed. We will say more, the editorial in question appearing in the "Negro World" does not sound to us as if it were written by the Honorable Marcus Garvey himself. It reads as, if it were doctored or wholly fabricated. We have the more reason to believe this since we know that prisoners of the federal penitentiary at Atlanta under the rules are permitted to send out but one single sheet letter per week, although both sides of the paper may be used.

From the door of the ship, the reals of cheer as they sight the messenger which they know by the unwritten law of the seas, The mistake whites make, according to his idea, is that in ignorance they allow it to saturate their souls with unreasonable hatred of groups and this reacts to make the group thus unjustly treated in kind The haunting pictures of death in the ice sea give way to visions of homes, mothers, sweethearts and friends once more as the big Home Looking from the white side of the fence, he continued, we can see more expressed prejudice in the things we read about the journals, and in the action they take in a group way, that we could ever get away with. But this is the natural reaction of any group to And Then Comes The Terrible Tragedy They see this vessel stand there motionless as their own crippled craft carries them beneath the key waters. In John Roberts, commanding the Homeric, states that the sea was too heavy to even lower a life boat or getting to the wiener set free a life raft, might be a better survivor. Further, within each group, there are individual degrees of development and when a Negro lawyer or physician develops family ties he does not wint his son or daughter to marry the son or daughter of a family whose cultural standard is the city alley, any more than a white lawyer or a similar family in his group. What thoughts and emotions that must have passed through the minds of those brave little brown men in their last moment of distress can easily be said. They say in sorrow there is a touch of human nature that makes the world akin, and there will be a moment when this touch swayed the captain of the Homee as he turned about and left the scene while vessels from Nova Scotia were still hurrying to the scene of This, he says, is the way nature has developed better and better through the selection of species. A thorough understanding of the instincts of the human would make white thought recognize individual development in the Negro race and not in the white race, and with the Negro it would soften the hatred engendered when white families stand socially aloof to safeguard their age long It is particularly unfortunate also at this time while the world is seething with racial hatreds, that a captain of a white steamship is followed when victims were their little brown brothers. Such a far reaching decision comes to few men as came to captain John Roberts. When the ship is failure to risk a single life to save those Japanese sailors, will reverberate around the world. And most unfortunate of all it may add to the growing terror that is sweeping to a catacism, when not only a few to a catacism, when not only a million of lives may be snuffed out. In other words, he said, whether we want to or not, nature is going to find a way to make the best groups in the world always have on since the beginning of creation. This bit of expression will be food for much thought to both thinking young white men as well as colored. One of the most hopeful signs of the times is the growing contact of the younger thinkers of both races. The group, comprising American white, Japanese, Filipinos from John Hopkins University and Negro students, discussed club and at the recent meeting of the Federation of Churches in Cincinnati groups of whites and colored from every section of the country met and threshed out certain phases of practical Church Finances Bishop J. Albert Johnson, presiding over the Baltimore Conference of churches which owed the Church Extension Department $20,041 principal and $5113 interest. One of these churches owed $100,000 to the church and $25,000 to $42,800. This led a prominent churchman present to remark that churches are the worst managed' financial institutions we have except What changes that are taking place in the world are the important things after all. Not long ago a Baltimore church borrowed a sum of money in the neighborhood of $30,000 upon which it paid $5000 bonus and will pay an additional interest of six per cent. In addition to that, per year who arranged the loan receivevity more than $1000 for his services. Questions-Answers In Negro History Questions-Answers In Negro History The plty of this slovenely way of transacting business is the fact that this enormous waste of time and brow of the poorer element of the congregation, the men and women who toll and whose devotion and religion serve as the foundation of the final background of the church. Were Alexander Hamilton and Robert Browning Negroes? Both of these men, came from the South to know Beethoven was a Negro—E. W. K. Kimball, W. Yu. Alexander Hamilton possessed Negro blood and was born in the West Indies. Robt. Browning was not born in the Indies but at Camberwell Eng. His maternal grandmother was a Negro. Robt. Browning inherited his dark blood and complexion. When Elizabeth Harrett married Browning, she was disinherited by her husband, having been born in blood. If the writer remembers rightly, it was Henry Lewes, lover and husband of George Elliott, the novelist, produced Miss Har Notwithstanding the fact that on many occasions we have keen business minds, honest and capable, there seems to be a shackiness in making church business an important church business which is often appalling. Not long ago a devout church worked for 12 hours each day for a salary of $12 per week, told this writer that last year she gave to her church. While we can PROFESSOR FUDGE PROFESSOR FUDGE AMOS HOKUM SAYS Fudge Attends A. M. F. Conference The one hundred and eighth annual session of the Baltimore Conference was held last week in the city, the situation for the last 108 years, the Bishops, preachers, and laymen are forced to admit business isn't so bad for that matter has never been bad. The "gentlemen of the cloth" even from the rural districts have been the "dollar money" this year was particularly good and wholesome and the Hon. John Hawkins, the Compiler of the National Bureau of Standards, hundred and sixty-four dollars in the "Kitty." No one knows how much energy was in but she says it is there. The financial report sounds like one of the cheapest money and rumors of money. If the financial guarantees has anything to do with it there are no issues, and the souls of those remaining stand a good chance. Set "Sick" Record However, even people whose souls are well taken care of can have other troubles. Anybody can get sick, in fact the health department says that the flu is a smallpox year. The forecast says plenty of sickness. If the doctors are as truthful in their predictions as the astronomers, all of the hospitals will be playing to "standing room only." As it stands now with the regular quota of sick people on the dock we can't hardly get accommodation in the local hospitals. If the rush comes we will be absolutely frozen out so this is as good a time as any word with the A. M. E. Conference. A. M. F. Should Lead In Victory Drive As is known, the Victory Hospital is still trying to get its hands on currency. The road looks rocky but the thing on its feet yet. No one could give the movement a better start off than the A.M. E. Conference, which is the biggest Colored Institution any where or everywhere and if it would walk up the aisle and lay some bucks on the table for the hospital, the other institutions would be good. The conference should remember that as long as a man is alive and well he can collect the collection basket. When he puts on that immortality he is beyond reach of all rallies. Why not help the hospital to cope with it. It certainly looks like good business to me. "Shakedown" Is Is Defined "A shake down" is possibly an expression not well understood by some people. When you hear "a shake down" mentioned the person specializes in separating the ashes and clinkers from the hot coals in a stove. It is not ashes they want but something else. In most cases, a man is called "of bucks" and then when he thinks he is "setting pretty", the works are put on him by somebody who holds the whip hand. The "works" consists of taking the money or whatsoever the victim must first be jockeyed into a position where he can't get away, then at the psychological moment he is booked for the totoogan. In some cases the victim is booked to go, and only tries to get away as cheap as possible. Very seldom does he A When the papers used to say that a man was knocked out by a bottle they meant that some body had hit him over the head with it.

The difference between a Tuxedo and an ordinary suit of clothes, says Wilbur Reld, is that you buy the latter. "squawk," though such a thing has been done. The principle of "the shake" is through the threat of "the shake down," bird better known of as a fish hawk. The fish hawk does not down to a bird himself or a big fat fish. On the contrary, he waits around for some other bird to get one, then just as the bird gets down to catch" home, the hawk swops down upon him, then drives him up in the air and one way or the other beats up in disgust and drops the fish. Then like a flash of lightening the hawk gets under the descending fish and "cops" it before it reaches the water. The hawk puts its "shake down." on people and animals use other methods but the purpose and the reason for this action is the Institute is about to hit the "shake down" put on it. Hampton Inst. About To Be Shaken Down .... Hampton Institute was founded after the war by General Armstrong. His purpose was to train Negro students to go to a few rounds in the battle of life. He picked an excellent location in so far as the contour of the country was concerned in Virginia. Here with the assistant of many big hearted men he succeeded in reuring one of the best institutions in the country to strong time Hampton has grown in wealth, beauty and attainment so much so until some envious and narrow-minded people put the "shuttle down" on. At the present time they think they have jockeyed the school in a position where they may possibly talk the Negroes out of the school. Why Virginia Whites Cry Social Equality The first thing they will have to do to get away clean, would be to keep any other of the Virginiaighs in the rescue school, so they cry social equality. They cry social equality for the simple reason when entertainments are not in the school, for the benefit of the students, the Hampton authorities haven't seen fit to let every white farmer for the benefit of the students in the up place and let the students stand in the rear or in the aisles. The Hampton authorities make provisions for the student and if any have to sit next to students because they let them find a seat anywhere they can. In most instances, the whites have to sit next to students because Virginia are mostly on time in four the institution stresses punctuality. Thus the white farmer finds him sitting in the enclosure. This, in the estimation of the Editor of one of the white papers, is a breach of all the holy tradition, down by the holy tradition who made Virginia what it is to-day. May Call In This Ku Klux Klan The white editor has taken the matter up with the president of the school, who answered his letter urging him to Hampton Roads. As was to be expected, the editor was not satisfied and will likely, at the next meeting, ask the president of the institution turned over for the use of the white boys and girls of the state. In this, it is likely the editor of the paper instead of spending his time trying to make something out of that "hand Bill", he calls a newspaper, will hand Press-Greg's name to the Klu Klux Klan.

He was informationant, and all he had to do was to walk into the cage and make the lions cut out of his hand. He was told that the whole secret was making the lions believe he was not afraid of them.

P. report, the specific accomplishments along the lines of legal defense, efforts to wipe out discrimination, attempts to curb segregation, the anti-lynching campaign and other activities, he cannot but feel that the organization is worth its while a hundred times manifolded. Fifteenth N. A. C. P. Report The fifteenth annual report of the National Association of Teachers of English, people now lie before me. One is reminded of the controversies and issues out of which this report was written. Some twenty years ago the Ngore leaders were divided into hostile radicals and some conservatives. One faction espoused the cause of industrial education and one favored non-assumed advocates of what was termed the higher culture. All issues are apt to focus about outstanding names. The at least two books listed in BookKlusters. Each side of course tried to outdo the other in spectacular performances. Each, as always in controversial issues, claimed to know the race of the winner. Numerous organizations sprung up among. Sundry attempts were made to unite the rival factions in a common attempt to prove the winner. All such attempts proved abortive. Those of the extreme radical temperament launched several movements, as if the impasse had been reached. At this juncture a number of our white friends of progressive tendencies undertook to engineer a change to be effective. Colored men of all shades of opinion and feeling were invited to join in the formation of the new movement, but the general trend was towards the more In Its Irgin, formulation and method of procedure it is essentially the fruits of the white men's mind. The white men, in the center part of the Anti-Slavery Society, in which the best white thought and conscience united in an organization, were the helpless. Both white and colored people co-operated in the common cause of humanity. It was in this wise that the white men were the vanguard of Colored People was born The very name is suggestive of its form is broad enough to include all who are interested in the advancement of the profession. Its plot of the colored people. At first the organization was dominated, and largely officered by the black community, but has proved here as elsewhere that the most effective method of racial co-operation in Negro work is for the whites to work together with the blacks overload management, leaving to their Negro co-workers the function of intimate relation of the work to the actual living conditions of the race. A Policy Of Wisdom The wisdom of this policy is being clearly demonstrated in education, religion, and social uplift. And so it has come to pass that the president, treasurer, and chief executive are white. While the executive secretary with a staff of office and field workers are all colored. The experimenter, placing white men in the positions of practical and intimate relationship did not work out successfully, and was wisely abandoned. The present plan of the organization is a relationship between the races. In nature of the case, the whites must decrease; the blacks must increase. The N. A. A. C. P. is built and operated upon the basis of efficiency. The effective charity and philanthropic organization is based on the same principle. The essential work is carried on by paid workers. It does not merely their duty but their business to perform the work assigned. The laborer is worthy of his hire. The higher the labor, the worthier the hire, the more valuable they can be. The genuine spirit of philanthropy. But their task in the nature of the case must be aside from their main purpose. They can do nothing unless they be made unenable to the necessary discipline to make an organization successful. All has been said and done, the adequate pay must be provided if the requisite work is to be exacted. The Y. M. C. A. and all organizations of a religious tyne proceed on this principle. The N. A. A. C. P. secures the services of the 'ablest and best equipped' personnel, and them as high salaries as colored men can command in any field of endeavor. So far as I am informed, no white personnel have any compensation from the organization. The money to finance the movement was at first contributed mainly by the whites. But at the present time the society has able to stand on its own racial feet. Other Efforts Fail There have been and still exist freely several general civil rights organizations, professors to protest, and field as the C. P. C. Their relative failure is due to the method of operation. They have all endeavored to operate on voluntary service. They cannot be done. Half a dozen well-paid workers in the N. A. A. C. P. can release all of their energies to the cause of racial equality and to accessions of food and drink. They are endowed to fight the battle of the race. Indeed they are the only set of workers who will be able to serve this service. They need not be intimidated nor afraid. Their support comes directly from the ambassadors and paid ambassadors they are. Therefore they should speak boldly for the people as an ambassador - ought to Covers 15 Year's Work The report of 1924 gives in a summary way an account of the stewardship of the organization during the war. The units are effective and emphatic in detail. sum they are interesting and, on the whole encouraging, that the units will flatter himself with the belief that the race has lived up to the full measure of its opportunity or of its obligation through the war. They have wrought well with the limited means at their command. The receipts for the year 1924 was $68,000. If any one thinks that this account can cover the needs of eleven more Had Noble Birth A Policy Of Wisdom Is Operated Other Efforts Fail Page Thirteen lion Afro-Americans, he has a very poor sense of values. Neither can the N. A. A. C. P. work miracles. With sixty thousand dollars, they have done sixty thousand dollars worth of service. If the race wants more service it must contribute more money. This is about a half cent per capita. The race is asleep on its rights. Even the N. A. A. C. P. has not yet succeeded in waking up. No Objective Reached While no capital objective has yet been accomplished, yet there has been constant hammering which in the long run has resulted in the franchisement has not been effected. Jim-crow cars run mercerily on. Segregation grows apace. Lawless and tyrannical service of the N. A. C. P. to the race is not seen so much in its specific achievements as in the fact that it has kept alive the spirit of Whenever a wrong is done to the Negro, unless he protests, the whites will feel that the accorded treatment and sensibilities. But every time you use a test, it calls attention to the injustice of the evil deed. I sometimes think that protest accrues for the white man for the Negro. The wrong done must not be allowed to go unchallenged in his career of evil deeds. It is unjust to do he permitted to the enforcement of conscience by silence of the infurred party. Develops Race Conscienceness Agitation against wrong will ultimately develop a race conscienceless. Twelve million Negroes will allow themselves to be debased and suppressed below the level of their powers and possibilities until they develop a race conscienceless, and no longer. I sometimes wonder when twelve million Negroes express satisfaction of what the N. A. A. C. P. has accomplished on the basis of a per capita cost of one-half cent, if they ever stop to examine the possibilities of so great a mass of flesh and blood if vitalized by self-conscience and directed by a wise and enlightened leadership. The dreams of Marcus Garvey are not too roseate. All effort that moves in the direction of self-awakening brings that much nearer the day of fulfillment. Organization Well Worth While As one turns the pages of this report, the specific accomplishments along the lines of legal defense, efforts to wipe out discrimination, attempts to lynch the campaign, and other miscellaneous activities he cannot but feel that the organization is worth its white a hundred times manifold. It is the only organization which is now effectively attacking these great evils that afflict the people. Other endeavors are but feebly paralleling its lines with inefficient and badly operated machines. It is indeed to be regretted that all of our civil rights organizations might not merge into this one organization whose united power would doubtless be insufficient to overcome the power of race prejudice against which they are all struggling with irrelated feebleness. The only objection which one hears in civil rights organization is the race that its essential control is in the hands of white men. The argument is that the final organization which is the one that is the exclusive control of Norgese. Race Must Control The argument strikes me as being not only feasible, but inherently sound. An organization no light at Catholics can hold against. Catholices of the Catholic. The Gentle cannot fight the intimate battle for the Jews. Nor can the white man at his best in the present state of public feeling opposing the Negro's cause or plead cause. The race must express its own voice. The voice of the alien is artificial at best. The man who feels the Negro's anger is A. A. C. P, is assuming completer racial control as rapidly as circumstances justify. And every white man in it would readily tie to Negro control, if deemed best for the organization so to do. The N. A. A. C. P. will become a purely Negro organization. Whilst the Negro organization Philanthropy becomes a handicap when it is no longer needed. You weaken an individual or a race when you help them when they are able to help themselves. There is a point beethin which beneficial aid ceases to be a virtue. Efficient Publicity I am deeply impressed with the publicity of the organization. The high publicity of the organization is known. The weekly releases to the press of the country, black and white, of events of interest to the Negro group is a journalistic feat of great importance. I cannot but express regret that the Association for the Advancement of Colored People has seen it fit to adopt the policy of repleting the treasury. It is hardly in keeping with the dignity of the order nor in harmony with the great print of human rights for which it stands. Besides this report to sensationalism is short sighted and self-defeating. It is not only the publicity of human rights forever. Then it will be necessary to seek some new sensation. The main purpose of the body will be obscured and the publicity of the organization rather let the appeal be made race wide for support of this national organization for what it has done, is doing what it has done, and public ear grows dull to the old appeal, put it in new and more persuasive terms, but always on the right side of the spectrum of American citizens whom it has engaged to serve. In burning rubbish in the furnace housewives will obtain happier results by eliminating rubber overshoes. Page Fourteen Call: VErnon 6016 The Afro-American—South's Biggest and Best. Week!

BARCLAY, MD PERRYMAN MD Hisses And Applause Heard As A.M.E.Conference Ends Hundreds Unable To Enter Building, Majority Favor New Pastor At Bethel Sat. day. May 2 Hundreds were unable to gain admittance to the church to hear the appointments read. Many who came to the League meeting at 6 o'clock remained for the evening service. Although the service had been announced for 8 o'clock, the Bishop decided to begin at 7:25, inasmuch as no additional persons could get into the building. Rev. M. N. Travers, an aged minister, caught the crowd by preaching a very short, spicy sermon, for it was very evident that that crowd had come to hear most particularly ONE appointment, and that appointment was that of the Reverend Frederick Douglass, who had been pastor of Bethel for five years, the beginning and ending of which were quite turbulent, although the pastor had reached the time limit, which his denomination has set, partisans of the minister had moved heaven and earth, figuratively, in an effort to have him returned. Other members, a considerable majority, however, would not participate in the matter. Following the sermon the interest was intense. Wordy combats between pro-pastor and anti-pastor were quite audible in various parts of the church. Excitement Quickens ..... The excitement quickened when CONFERENCE CONFERENCE Copeland, George Robinson, Wilber Johnson, Elmer Henderson. New members admitted to the conference included the Rev.s John W. Henry, John H. Brown, John Selvey and H. W. Thompson. Much indebtedness At the Friday session the outstanding feature of the morning session was a report by the Bishop Johnson setting forth the unbusiness-like way the various charges were handling their church extension obligations. His report showed that there was due from the various charges $20,041 and in addition interest amounting to $5,113. Some idea of the manner in which these obligations have been allowed to lag was shown by the fact that one church which borrowed $698 owed on this amount of $486.87. Another which borrowed $490 now owes in interest alone on this amount $452. The assessment for ministerial allowance was increased from $2 to $5. In Verbal Tilt The only verbal tilt witnessed outside of the executive sessions occured when the Rev. W. H. Davis read the report of the Old Folks' Home. This report, which showed a deficit of $400 was challenged by the Rev. P. J. Jordan and the Rev. Charles Stewart. An effort was made to delay its adoption which incited a heated argument. The Rev. M. Jordan charged that the Rev. Mr. Davis had refused him permission to examine figures and items in the document, but Bishop Johnson forced the report through to adoption charging the objectors with petty and personal grievances. Bishop John Hurst and Bishop Wim. H. Heard were associated with Bishop Johnson in presiding at the conference. Many Changes Among some of the outstanding changes made in appointments included the transfer of the Rev. C. H. Steptau from presiding over the Baltimore District to the pastorate of Bethel Church. The Rev. Frederick Douglass was transferred to Allen while the Rev. P. J. Jordan is to preside over the Baltimore District. The Rev. J. E. Lee, who pastored two charges at Elkridge and who figured here some time ago in police court when he was arrested and fined for disorderly conduct, was transferred to the Church Hill Circuit on the Eastern Shore. The Rev. Mr. Lee said a girl doped him at mid-night in a Chinese Restaurant. Officers said he was drunk. Trustees Elected Conference trustees elected were: the Revs. P. J. Jordan, C. H. Wesley, J. O. Morley, J. R. Nelson, C. E. Stewart, M. H. Davis, Thaddeus Copeland and D. G. Hill. The list of superanuated ministers included the Revs. M. H. Stevens, T. S. Dennis and William W. Williams. Waters Reinstated The Rev. J. N. Waters, suspended a year ago for unbecoming conduct, was reinstated by the conference. Before the vote was taken Bishop Johnson declared ministers should get out of the ministry unless they could bridle their appetites and passions. He urged the conference to cast out the morally unfit. Baltimore District Presiding Elder—P. J. JORDAN Bethan—C. H. Steptcau Trinity—W. H. Thomas. Havre de Grace—J. R. Barnum. Berkley—C. E. Waldron.

Albert Johnson, who was presiding, in his characteristic way, called attention to the law on appointment for more than five years and explained to the great throng that Bethel Church had no kick whatsoever coming. The impending storm broke when the Bishop announced the appointment of the Reverend Douglass to Allen A. M. E. Church. Violent Hisses There was a momentary pause, and then some applause. But when the appointment of Rev. Dr. C. Harold Stepean was announced for Bethel, the former pastor's partisans could no longer contain themselves, letting out a volley of violent bisses that could be heard outside the church. One woman who had been a leader in the return movement, burst into tears, while another, whose name has been handled quite loosely around the church, declared she would make herself conspicuous by her absence. On the whole, however, the solid membership of the church seemed quite satisfied. Speculation is now rife as to how the new pastor of Allen will make it, since it is widely known that the forming their functions and not delegating them to the pastor. Towson—To be supplied.

Porto Rica Has Nothing Like Race Prejudice We Have In Dixie, Says This Islander. Mr. Editor: The following lines in Spanish are to show to you that I have read in your careful paper under the date of 11th, inst., about the same race prejudice existing in the United States and Porto Rica. According to my most careful country man, Mr. Luis Munoz Marin, he has knowledge of the union of a Negro man and a white woman and of the union of a white man and a woman of color. My dear sir, you know that it is not possible for the same race prejudice to exist in any manner in Porto Rica. When there was a war between Spain and Porto Rica, Cuba and other parts of the West Indies, the Negro Porto Rican went to war to free himself from the government of the cruel Spaniards over the major islands. He who writes these lines is from Ponce, Porto Rica, and in spite of the fact that I do not have the pleasure of knowing Dr. Barbosa from Ponce, P. R., (but) I know well the progress of the colored race in Porto Rica. ROBERT LANAUSSEE, 107 Booth St., Elkton, Md. St. John A. M. Lexington St. 10 A. M.—Young Men's Bible Class. 11 A.

State Normal School is rejoicing in the appropriation by the legislature last week of $160,000 for additions to the plant. This appropriation is matched by a donation of $100,000 by the General Education Board and $60,000 from private sources. WOMAN STRUCK BY AUTO Mrs. Hattie Williams, 1409 Ten Pin Alley, was struck by an automobile near here home Sunday. She heard the auto approaching and rushing from the house to get her children from the street, ran into the street and was herself struck. She was treated at the St. Joseph's Hospital for a bruised right leg. Woodmen Celebrate More than 100 Juveniles took part in a program which was led by the Boy Scouts, followed by the Dunbar Reading Club of Tent Number four in the 24th anniversary at Asbury M. E. Church, Sunday April 19. The Rev. Stewart H. Brown, preached a excellent sermon to more than 300 Woodmen. His text was, "The Ax at the Root of the Tree." The new supervisor, Virgil H. Franklin is proud of the work being done throughout the state by American Woodmen. Says Dodd May I correct a statement or rather add to one, made in the AFRO last wee, 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 po- IN MEMORIAM Andrew J. Brown departed this life April 15th, 1925, after an illness of four weeks at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. Though his suffering was great he bore it with Christian patience. He confess-1 Christ twenty years ago and was a faithful member of the Union Baptist Church of Sparrows Point. He was one of Sparrows Point's most beloved citizens and highly esteemed by both races. He E-sin a Sparrows Point Ship Building Corporation as foreman for thirty-two years. The men who worked under him always had a good word of praise to speak about him. He was president of the People's Company of Sparrows Point and, a stockholder. And one of the organizers of the Building and Loan Association of Sparrows Point. He was a thirty-second degree Mason and a member of the Knights of Pythians. He was a true friend to mankind, always doing some deed of kindness and making life bright for some one. His funeral was held at the Union Baptist Church. The sermon was preached by Rev. H. E. Tucker and many prominent ministers and friends of both races spoke on his life's history. "The Catholic Priest," Rev. J. M. Gayner, who was a friend of the deceased, gave an interesting talk. The sympathy and love of his friends was deeply expressed by the large tribute of flowers which covered the casket with many beautiful and appropriate designs. He was carried to Remington, Va., where his body rested at the home of his beloved mother, Mrs. Myra Brown, over night. Interment at the Remington Cemetery. He leaves to mourn their loss a wife, one son, a mother, six sisters and four brothers, and a host of relatives and friends. Sate in the arms of Jesus; Safe on his gentle breast; There by his love overshadowed, Sweetly his soul shall rest. CARTER—In sad but loving remembrance of my dear mother, Rachel A. Carter, who departed this life 10 years, April 27, 1915. Gone, but not forgotten. Peaceful be thy rest, dear mother; 'Tis sweet to breathe the name; In life I loved you dearly, In death I do the same. You don't know the sorrow To be left alone, Until death sends the message To your home. It is hard when He calls For one or the other; But It is hardest of all When He calls for your mother. Mother, dear mother, kind, Has gone and left us all behind, For all of us she Did her best; So God granted her eternal rest. Whose love can equal the love of a mother? BY HER DEVOTED DADGHTER BY HER DEVOTED DRAUGHTER, MARY E. GRANDISON. HARRIS—in the sacred memory of our dear mother, Louisa Harris, who departed this life April 30, 1923. Sleep on, dear mother, but not forever, There will be a glorious dawn; We shall meet to part, no never, On the resurrection morn. So shall it be at last in that bright morning, When the soul waketh and the shadows flee; Oh, in that hour fairer than daylight dawning, Shall rise the glorious thought—we are with thee. BY HER LOVING DAUGHTERS, MRS. GEORGE W. TITTLE, MRS. GEORGE WHITE. RICHARDSON—In sad but loving remembrance of our little daughter, Miriam, who departed this life one year ago today, May 4, 1924. One year ago, dear Miriam, you left us. We have thought of you each day; Often with a falling tear, Which we quickly wiped away. You have reached your home eternal, Your sorrows here are o'er. You are resting with the angels, On that happy golden shore. Our sorrows will soon be over, Our race will soon be won; We'll clasp you in our arms, dear. When our journey here is done. BY MOTHER, FATHER, SISTERS AND BROTHERS WILLIAMS-In sad and loving remembrance of my dear father, Robert Williams, who departed this life one year ago, April 28, 1924. You are resting in peace, dear father, One sad year has passed away; You are gone, but not forgotten, And I think of you each day. BY HIS LOVING DAUGHTER, ESTEILLENA PRITCHETT. SMITH—In loving remembrance of my husband, Richard Smith, who departed this life four years ago, April 29, 1921. Roses may wither, leaves may fade and die. Others may forget you, but never will I. BY BIS WIFE, RACHEL SMITH. TRUXON—Sacred to the memory of our beloved wife and mother, Emma Jane Truxon, who departed this life one year ago, April 26, 1924. Just asleep, thy soul immortal, Dwelling now beyond life's woes; Free from care and pain and sorrow, Sweet and undisturbed repose. Some day in a city fair, We shall hope to meet you there, As in beauty, so in grace, Ever will finger your sweet face, Death has left an empty place. Husband, STEPHEN H. TRUXON; Daughter, HELEN T. DUVALL; Granddaughters, EMMA JANE and HELEN E. REVEL. LAMBERT-In memory of my dear mother, Caroline Lambert, who departed from us six years ago, April 26, 1919, at her home in Newark, Dela. Days of sadness still come o'er us. Hidden toppers often flow. Hidden tears so often now. Memory keeps our dear, mother near us, Though she died six years ago: Into sweet rest she has entered, No more to grieve or weep: She is smiling on us from Heaven, Our dear mother is only asleep. In our home you are fondly remembered, Sweet memories cling to our breasts: That loved you in deepest affection, Love you in death just the same. Oh, angels, watch this sleeping dust, Till Jesus comes to raise the just, Then she'll rise in sweet surprise, To see her loved ones by her side. Sadly missed by her seven children, HERMAN, MARGARET, ANNA MARTHA, JOSEPH, WILLIAM, and SADIE LAMEERT, Atlantic City, N. J.

National Negro Trade Week Under the auspices of the National Negro Busines: League a Negro trade week will be promoted throughout the country May 4th to 9th. This movement nationalizes the successful efforts which ‘have been carsied out in many cities where enterprising Negro merchants have annually advertised their business to the Negro trade of the country. It is not planned in antagon- ism to other merchants, but to direct attention of the buying public to services offered by Negro merchants, “tn the final analysis, however, Negro Trade Week must inevitably have as its purpose a partial subsidizing of Negro business and rightly so. In the development of the race we ave just beginning to appraise the economic problems in their true relation to social progress. There may come a day when all business pursuits may be open alike to white and colored youth; there may come a day when race, color or creed will not bar the door of any business or Anancial institution to any one, but that day is not now and until it comes the simple laws of self-preserva- Hon should impel us to stimulate race business by loyal pa- tronage wherever possible. ‘We cannot meet the needs of the growing efficiency and expanding ambitions of our youth with the limited industrial Saticok of the present. We must have banks, commercial enterprises, factories and distributing trades. We must con- duct basie industries and control capital. Without racial bias, there must be the realization that to properly provide sustenance for our own coming genera- tions we must build business and this can only be done by loyally patronizing Negro business places. This, we believe, is a good argument why Nogro trade week should be observed in every city, village and hamlet in this country where a Negro is devoting his energy and time to it, ‘Smash-Up Season Motoring weather 1s here. ‘AAnd's0 is the season for grade crossing accidents. The average person is awed by such disasters as the recent Illinois tornado, yet gives but scant attention to grade crossing dangers. ‘Yet almost three times as many persons were killed in grade crossing accidents in 1924 as were killed by the tor- smo, A total of 2,149 lost their lives in mix-ups between trains and automobiles. We san do nothing to prevent storms. And what we do to prevent crossing accidents is all too littie, largely because, being seattered its difficult to center the public mind upon them. . eee Baltimore Our Baltimore I find Baltimore.

The writer was anxious at the time the racial purity bill was before the Virginia legislature to see what the newspapers would report regarding it. The Richmond TimesDispatch supported the Grand-Stodard Cox group and sponsored the bill. In an editorial published last February 18th, under the title "Racial Integrity" the editor wrote: "So bill consisted of General Assembly members for several years has had a national significance so great as that providing for racial integrity. It is the first step forward guaranteeing to future generations a white America. It is of interest, not only to Virginia, but to the rest of the United States as well." The bill was most soon after or later takes measures for protection against amalgamation. Unless stringent measures, are adopted to keep the races separate in matter of marriages—immalagmation is inevitable. "In Virginia, the intermingling of races is all too apparent. There are hundreds of instances in which it has become impossible, without an diligent search into the records or an exhaustive investigation among community elders, to establish racial contamination. Thousands of men and women who pass for white persons in the State have in their veins Negro blood. If they are allowed to inter-marry with pure Caucasians, and they are doing it now, the way is being puxed for a complete breakdown of the races. When the racial integrity bill passed with the registration clause made optional the Times-Dispatch carried an editorial lamenting the fact that the bill did not meet the exigencies of the situation. The editorial dealing with the shortcomings of the bill printed February 29th said: "As the racial integrity bill pass- SCHOOL BO WINS Sues For $5,000 For Personal Injury HAD ANKLE FRACTURED JURY OUT LONG Attorneys Make Strong Fight Against Opposition One of the most interesting cases on the docket for last week was the case of Joseph Shepherd, infant by his father and next friend, Charles Shepherd, in the Superior Court. This was a case of damages for personal in jury. Charles Shepherd on December 12th, 1924, Defender's Day, Joseph decided on an errand to earn a mite. He agreed to carry some chairs from the 2300 block Division St., where he lived, to a lady on Carey St. You see, the parade was just over, and young Joseph, school No. 103, wanted know his industry and earn a pittance.

In its original form the bill provided for that the company would be required to racial composition, of every person in Virginia born prior to June 14, 1912. Since the passing of the racial integrity bill by the Virginia Legislature, several articles have appeared on the Senate's rules on one phase or another of the question of racial amalgamation. A campaign was begun in Virginia of leading speakers to urge the people to cooperate with the legal forces in their attempt to preserve the race under the caption, "Launch Racial Purity Campaign," the Richmond, Va., Times-Dispatch of last April 9th reports a meeting of the Anglo-Saxon Clubs as follows: "Stimulated by instructive and inspiring addressings by major Ernest Einstein in military circles in the State, John Powell, musician, composer and sociologist, and Dr. W. T. Plecker. State Registrar of Vital Statistics, Post No. 1, of the Anglo-Saxon Clubs, of America, last night entered a petition which has for its objects impressing upon the people of Richmond the importance of the movement for the preservation of racial integrity and the significance of the new Virginia law bearing upon that subject: "Referring to John Cox's "each the more important the following statement from him: The new Virginia law is the most perfect expression of the white ideal given to the world in 4,000 years, or since the caste of ancient India was made effective."—The end. (Continued next week) OY S DAMAGES At the trial, of all the witnesses, both white and colored, young Shepherd made the best witness in his own behalf. Photographs of the scene of accident were presented in evidences and handed over to the jury. The counsel for the defendants, Morris and Sadie Levy, white made an attempt to take the case from the jury, but this was easily blocked by Shephard's counsel. They readily established the negligence of the defendants, and showed that the boy had a right to be on the streets as there is no law against the property. The increasing danger of automobiles to young children was pointed out to the jury. They are among the main causes of broken limbs and deformed children who later become charges to the stute Suit was brought for $5000 for the personal injury sustained including the fractured ankle. The injury, after deliberating for some two hours, brought in a substantial verdict in favor of the phantom Joseph Shephard. The case of Shephard is only one among many a school boy.

Francis Trusty, age 4. 426 Somerset street, was struck by a motorcycle while running across the street at Central avenue and Lewis street. Thursday.

Friends of the unfortunate girl are divided in their opinion, but the majority believe that a bootleg concoction which she is known to have taken in a confectionery establishment located on the corner of Molechan street and Pennsylvania avenue, is responsible for her death. Had Gay Compainons When Miss Rickets died shortly after being stricken while drinking a "phosphate" with two young men friends, investigation by a reporter for this paper revealed the fact that much mysteries had been known that something she drank acted as a poison, causing her death, the circumstances surrounding the affair raised the question of deliberate poisoning or whether she was a victim of acute alcoholism. In the confectionery section in which she drank, Miss Saturdays, Miss Rickets suddenly arose from the table and fell unconscious to the floor. Employees at the store on being questioned, stated that the young woman and her companions had been served merely a phosphate and that there was nothing of an intoxicating nature sold in the store. **Leaves Baby** At first the girl seemed to revive and was like taken, according to the like taken, with whom she lived. She was again selzed with convulsions, however, and after two physicians had been called in, it was decided to send her to the hospital where she interdied. A sad development to the case to the girl and which explained mysterious weekly trips to a certain orphanage made by Miss Rickets, was the existence of an infant baby. Although only a few of her most intimate friends knew of the existence of the infant she never confided in the age of the girl, and ecorts to find it since her death have proved fruitless.

She was sent to this country to complete her studies in music and art, but, but she was white, she ended her from the needy pursuit of her and her parents aim.
