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.

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.

C.—Not wholly satisfied as to the cause of the death of Walter P. Ray, aged 44 years, who died at his home Tuesday night, following an illness of more than two years, relatives appealed to the coroner to conduct an investigation. It was suggested that poison may have figured in his death. The officials made a thorough investigation, it is said, and failed to find any trace of poison. Ray, it is stated, had been treated for tuberculosis, and the autopsy revealed that he had suffered from such an ailment. Arthur S. K. Ray, brother of the deceased, died suddenly in March and an autopsy was performed on his body which disclosed that he had died from natural causes. Arthur was a clerk in the City Post Office, while Walter was a mail-carrier prior to his illness which began about two years ago. There were 36 deaths reported to the National Institutes of Health in August 27. Included in this number are 21 deaths from pneumonia. Julia Allen, 17 mos., 1707 Marion Court, N. W. George C.

Let me start you on the road MAKE AND SELL Durkee Failure As Money Getter For Howard Little If Any Added To University's Endowment Fund In Past Seven Years By Alumaus When the presidency of Howard University became vacant in 1918, a committee headed by the president, the breathless amazement of colored educators, Dr. J. Stunley Durke, a village preacher of a suburb of Brockton, Mass. enough, the committee selected a man without a day's experience as an educator or administrator. Until he donner his presidential robe, Dr. Durke had been trained in an acrobatic career. He had been trained in a theological school which usually prepares for the methodist ministry but accustomed to teaching in the church had later accepted the pastorage of a congregationalist church. A Money Getter The only explanation, apologetically ventured, was that this enthusiastic churchman was a great "money-getter." He was representativeness astute and church of millions. Information conveniently leaked out that he had been in the habit of making an annual contribution of $1,000 to Dr. Shepherd's worthy institution in Durham. He was inactively understood that the "wealthy pursuasion" of this church could be directed to Howard University. All but the doubting homeschooler was aware that Howard University was, in that time, in more dire need of rudels than of pategological guidance. Gets Highest Salary The Calendar has made its rounds almost seven times. The prophecy, like that of Shakespeare was once built, Dr. Durkee has proved to be a "money-getter"—but for himself. With the worst preparation of any of Howard's presidents, he managed to get the salary ever paid by the institution. He receives $7,000 or $7,500 in actual cash, the use of a $35,000 manpower, and the adjoining garage, and traveling expenses, all of which are easily equivalent of $10,000. His house used to be that the trustee of the library, and enough salary to prevent him from "counting his nickels and dimes." Fills Many Pulpits In addition to this fat salary in comparison with what the professors receive, the professors are given permission to fill local pulpits for absent ministers. it is rumored that each semen, preached under such conditions, asks about it not available, but it is generally understood that his substitute and temporary service, as a local minister, is well remunerated. The faculty fills pulpits in New England, during his period of rest in the summer. Adds Another Job The writer notes, with pleasure and surprise, that Dr. Durkee's new job as president of the Curry School of Expression is not, at present, paying him more than he took just right for the president of a university that has never drawn the color line (except in electing presidents) to draw simultaneously a salary; for the presidency of a school that bars Nescafe from selling its products; and doubt of Dr. Durkee's "money-getting" proclivities. Other Schools Busy Meanwhile, other college presidents are crying for endowments. The greater the school's endowment, the greater the service of the school. Fish University, one its civil war broke out, held the front face of the press and was the most successful drive and accomplishment. Morgan College has just staged a drive that will go down as the most successful the proud history of Morgan College. Hampton-Tuskegee Principals Gregg and Moton, of Hampton and Tuskegee respectively, have just made the welcoming ring complete with dowment funds. They brought their campaign to Washington, right here under the nose of Howard's slumbering president, and left haden in the back. More than this, they selected, to head up the movement in Washington, the peerless leader, Dean Kelly, whose shadow means to Howell to Howell, and dozen Durken in person could possibly mean. Think of farming out the talent of the illustrious Dean Kelly, when Howard, under progressive guidance, could use it so profitably. So many women suffer from Functional) Weakness and weakness in the muscles of children that thousands of a wonderful booklet entitled, "What Is Home Without a Day?" has been written to help you interested in correcting these conditions.

Thousands of women have received the information and every woman owes it to herself to get it. It is sent without CHARGE or OBLIGATION. Join us now at Nervano Company 211 New Nelson Blvd., Kansas City, Mo Howard's Endowment Well, believe it or not, Dr. Durkee has not increased Howard University's endowment by one penny, but he has increased his school, together with his own pitiful pledge, was such a dismal failure that a member of the Board of Trustees had to take over the general management of the campaign. He has made a feeble appeal for the theological school; but for the university proper, his pecuniary success has limited his salary. Though a colossal failure as a money-getter for Howard University, Dr. Durkee is trying, as president of Curry School of Education, to raise an endowment fund for that school. Perhaps, Howard's president has not yet felt the need of an endowment fund for Howard University, but he has made the dubious career of the appropriations each year. Perhaps, he would rather keep Howard a medicent than a left sustaining his education, his reflection of the matter, he has persistently refrained from any serious labor that might augment Howard's slender profile. Dr. Durkee has and his golden years of administration, acumen, notoriously weak as an educator, and pathetically deficient in the qualities of a leader, on the platform upon which he was elected to head this great American university. He has manifested no compunctions away from Howard men whom Howard could least afford to lose. Howard Prestige Lower He has lowered Howard's prestige by showing the country that he can hold Howard in one hand while he can barring institution. He has lost the confidence and respect of his professors, whose curses are deep, and done those things which he ought to have done; and he has done those things which he ought not to have done. He has uncovered university while he is the chief nounsher. Howard Alumni, wake up! If you are too lethargic to take action, attend questions about your Alma Mater.

Public Health Service It is hard to measure the cost of venereal diseases in money. It is even more difficult to give an accurate idea of damage they do when the damage is to be defined terms of individual and national health. In a previous article of this series, it was said that the money cost of venereal diseases was 122 amounted to a minimum charge of $25 for every man, woman and child in the country. My attempt to explain the cost in health, however, is hampered by the absence of such definite units of measurement as the recognized values represented by dollars and cents. I have also said that injury to health is the worst effect of syphilis, gonorrhea and chancroid, for it is from this ill-health that the cost of venereal diseases is incurred. We have noticed that the money cost of venereal diseases falls with out favor upon the sick and the well, the rich and the poor, the in- So, too, do syphilis and gonorrhea take their toll in health from throbbing to infectious disease. Gonorrhea, of foofhairy bravado, neglect to put themselves under the care of a competent physician or an official clinic clerk. Gonorrhea can be paved the way for physical degeneration and suffering, unless they are promptly checked by extended or reputable medical or clinical care. Causes Blindness The old notion that gonorrhea is no worse than a bad cold has been routed by an onslaught of facts. Fomycin may cause blindness or it may lead to gonorrheal rheumatism, which in turn may cause heart disease. Dr. John H. Stokes of the Mayo Clinic is responsible for the state- The Fiasco Of At Fisk U "Searchlight" Says Dr. DuBois Atlanta and Union Preside The Fiasco Of Dr. McKenzie At Fisk University "Searchlight" Says Dr. DuBois" Wrote" it. Howard Lincoln, Atlanta and Union Presidents advised to take notice By SEARCHLIGHT The American press has dispatched the unimpassioned decision of the trustees of Fisk University; to wit, that the resignation of Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois' prophetic pen virtually wrote that resignation. A condition at Fisk, which no respecting degree of erudition could justify, called for a truthful exposition; and Dr. Du Bois the most illustrious alumnus of Fisk University, and writer of persuasive and defender force, became the defender of the undergradates of Fisk. TRUTH GUIDED PEN It is the uprightness of a cause that makes men eloquent. The truth is that Mr. Bois can write, and his writer has made aovenant with the truth. Political sagacity and trickery oft-times inspire partisans, but Mr. Bois undifferentiated truth, to win converses. Dr. Du Bois' cannon-balls of truth entrusted the fortunes even for the president, and defended their president. The breastworks crumbled, and the surrender follow- Two Colossal Errors Analysis of the situation reveals Dr. McKenzie's failure due to two colossal errors—his misinterpretation of the yearnings of the so-called "New Negro youth, and his rise to power. He is neither of which fallings may become fatal to any college president similarly situated. His "Keep the Negro in his place" policy made him a model for southern philosophy thought might eventually threaten "white supremacy." Southern Whites Complained Some years ago, the southern whites complained of the appearance of colored debaters in full-dress suits. Pisk and Athan asked the professor in charge of debating at Howard, at that time, demanded that the speakers in Rankin Chapel appear in full-dress suit or not appear at all! He won his point, with the result that the tri-angular shape of the uniform until after that insistent professor had resigned from Howard University. Dr. McKenzie obviously forgor that the Negro youth was called upon the older day, to help the professor whatever this felicious expression means. Man Sized Job The fact is that the Negro youth was summoned to a man-sized job. The records laid his accomplishment and opportunity for many expression. He returned fired with manhood and determined to enjoy some of the fruits of democracy. When, therefore, college conditions under a man's rule became the yearnings of the Negro youth, he became akin to servitude, he rose to the full measure of his manly stature and cried out in a stonemouth: "I stand this any longer!" Thus ends the story of the fire error. SECOND ERROR The second error was equally as serious. College presidents can commit mistakes, and their mistakes, are likely to conclude too often that Providence sent them into a riddle with the professors, students, and alumni ready saddled and bridled to be ridden. Too much power is as intoxicating as alcohol be Though a college president should have a reasonably free hand to work, he should not form a committee, he should have on him some check, which is not maliciously used. The president of the nation had limitations placed upon his power, surely a college president should not be threatened by an untimely disaster at the institution. Trustees Barely Restrain It seldom happens that trustees restrain a college president. They may be a good example for every recommendation submitted by the president. Trustees have to accept the president's advice, which inspires them to accept his word as final. Such blind devotion might lighten the mood, but in a complex age like the present, in which APITAL Take Toll In h And Wealth ment that one-third of the blindness is asylums, and one-half of the blindness dating from birth, is due to gonorrhea of the eye. An amply of the anatistics of the Pennsylvania Institute for the Blind shows, 1,020 cases of blindness admitted to the school in 30 years. Out of this total, 257 cases, of 20 per cent, were due to gonorrhea infection. It has been estimated that there are at least 20,000 cases of blindness from this cause in the United The tragedy of it all is that most of these cases date from birth. Cold statistics cannot convey the immensity of the injustice. Stokes Sars As Stokes says: "One has to case the peer, and indeed the superior of tuberculosis, the 'green white plaque' over the fate of mankind, present and future. There is not a tissue or a structure of the body that symbolizes the aspect of the entire science of medicine in which it will not be encountered. No longer is syphilis an acute turning point. The disease has changed the destiny of mankind upon the face of the world, and this moment to be transmitted, its effects would not disappear withing two or perhaps three' generations. Few, indeed, of living human beings from its remote effects." ONE MORE ARTICLE These articles have recounted the history and distribution of venereal diseases and have pointed out their cost in health and wealth. A large part of the disease is occasioned by syphilis and gonorrhea is unnecessary, since these diseases are both preventable and curable. In the fourth and last installment of this series, venereal disease control measures will be described and noted. We have looked the situation in the face; now we must turn to the remedy. If Dr. McKenzie University "Wrote" it. Howard Lincoln ents advised to take notice Judgment and decisions are often questionable, it is not safe to let one hurt, regardless of his honesty, have Czar-like powers. No Whimmering On the other hand, students are not supposed to whin; er. Everyone must agree that the officials, and not the students, should run the institution; but this does not mean that students have no rights which must be respected. In the whole history of student life, the most important students did not whimper under palpable injustice. The old "town and gown" rows of the middle ages and the more modern feeds between them have been administratively widened. Alumni Watch Dogs The alumni are logically the "watch-dogs" of the president's policies and (in a limping couplet): He is a fool who thinks, by A stubborn battle between the president and the alumni is very likely to result in the disadvantage of the president, who is a alumnus hears his Alma Mater is akin to his devotion to his country. He will not remain silent while columny menaces. Once the alumni are fully convinced that the president is not a alumnus, the interests of their Alma Mater, moving-day is near for the president. Has 100 Ears To say that the president is to give a ready car to every complaining alumnus, would be equivalent to taking a college president boasts of having one hundred cars and one hundred cars, but even he has not cars enough (or else too many) for petrie gratitude. But whenever any group of alumni feel and express a grievance, the president should not turn a deaf car to them. The alumni must be made aware of the misfortunes as misfortainers, as honored, honorable, and loyal graduates. Great universities are made chiefly by faculties and alumni. It is very essential that every opportunity be given. Other Colleces Take Notice This regrettable Fisk episode should reveal the trend of affairs in colored colleges. Another great university has narrowly averted the attack, but the last ten years. Dogmatic presidents, who can do their students no wrong, and laugh to scorn alumni with just grievances, are rapidly approaching the humiliation that has befallen True presidential success lies in the blending into harmonious whole the administration, the faculty, the students, and the only this, kind of concord will guarantee the president's tenure.

Saturday, May 2 JOE BR JOE BRIGHT DESERTED LAW FOR THEATRE Producer Graduated From N. Y. University School At Age Of Nineteen WAS RECORD CLERK BUT DIDN'T LIKE IT Gave Up Law Te Enter Huber's Museum And Uncle Tom's Cabin Joe Bright, who is producing the musical comedies at the Regent, is a huge clap who, as the sports writers phrase it, would tip the beam at about 300 pounds. He has a boyish face much like that of the celebrated "Fatty" Arbuckle and is but 36 years of age. This artist was born in New York city of parents who were originally natives of Virginia. The little boy was placed in Public School No. 16 from which he graduated at the age of 12. The next fall he entered Dewitt Clinton High School and was handed his sheepskin from that institution at 16. Lawyer at 19 His parents then saw that the young idea had the making of being a credit to the household in his cranium so he was entered in New York University. The youth chose a law course and at 19 was honorably dismissed with a diploma that told the world he was a full-fledged lawyer. Enters Law Firm A proposition was secured as a deck of records soon after graduation in one of New York's leading law offices in which position the young lawyer remained for quite a while. Being a theatre fan, Bright was attracted to Theodore Roberts, white, an old showman who was New York's law firm. Application secured the lawyer a chance to play Crumbo in the above production. He was also Roberts' valet, and gave up his legal learning for that of the theatre. Under the instruction of the old trumpet, Bright studied law at a Hobers Museum under the instruction of John Smith for one year. Writes Play He then turned his hand to play-writing, his first attempt was entitled "The Widow's Ranch." Subsequently he has produced dramas, musical comedies and other forms of the play in every large city in the country. He has also played one of the most famous members of the team of Towell and Bright who termed themselves "Two Black Carusos." Fraternal Man He does his own designing and is as skilled in the mechanical end of stagecraft as he is in other departments of the game. He is a member of the Masons, Elks and follows, and an all around golfer good fellow. John Smith, the veteran minstrel and a all around trouper, will be the captain of Dr. Delnor's Herbs of Life company. The show is managed by William Pitts whom, we understand, put that preparation across. Tim and Gertie Moore opened at the Lincoln Theatre, New York City, last week. Drake and Walker's "Bombay Girls" played to capacity business at Gibson's Standard recently. Some show, some girls.

O. U.S. to the company in Brooklyn, N. Y., on April 11. As a result the cast refused to continue to "Run Wild" or otherwise anymore. It is said that the company had a premonition that all was not well before curtain time and forced a wait of a considerable time between the first "ghost" with the promissory notes which he distributed thus inducing the actors to go on with the play. Stagehands and Greedysail Alarm Earlier in the week it is alleged that stage hands and musicians sensing trouble informed their delegates that they were afraid not forthcoming. The representatives were on the ground and would not permit the certain to be raised until the salaries had been distributed to the union men.

I noticed by the papers the her day that E. F. Albe vaudeville interests requested all people appearing in his theatre not to make fun of policemen. It seemed to me like a sensible suggestion I am appearing as an Irish cop in "Mercenary Mary," but he isn't a burlesque character. Being Irish myself, I make him of the happy-go-lucky, big, human, Irish sort and he makes his biggest hit with Irish dance. Were I required to play him that way, I'd step down and out. But I try to make the character funny, not because he's a policeman and not because he's Irish, but because he has funny lines and situations. I am not in favor of burlesuing any race on the stage. At the same time I believe an Irishman should be an Irishman; a Jew should be a Jew and so on. There are no races behind the footlights it is a grotesque exaggeration that is wrong. That is what I am against. So again let me say, I think Mr. Albe's suggestion a good one.

Then to make myself more clearly understood I asked: "Why should we celebrate Washington's birthday more than mine?" There was silence for a moment and then a small boy raised his hand, saying: "Cause he never told a lie." MADGE BLUE. Cape May, N. J.

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.

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.

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.

Hunter, of Columbus, Ga., writes: "I suffered with dreadful pains in my sides during . . . My side hurt so bad it nearly killed me. I had to go to bed and stay sometimes two weeks at a time. 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.

"I listened when you talked to the young gentlemen," "The students, standing near, were charmed with the slave's skill and taste. "Give him a new suit," said one of them. "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. The Negro was always considered the son of the earth, But he is now being recognized, for he proven his worth. We all must co-operate, for we are a fast-growing nation. For the sake of our posterity we must lay a firm foundation. We must be trustworthy, loyal and true, Regardless who we work for or what we do; Plenty of education and self experience, Will carry us through, for there's less interference. Courtesy and politeness we must endeavor to teach; For success and prosperity are within our reach; When our work is done, and our life light shall cease.

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.

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!

"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.

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. Arnold and none of Prof. Fudge. We want more of Prof. Kelly Miller and a little less of the indiscriminate news of the places where nobody lives and about which nobody reads, a little more of the program that will make it easier for us to tell that we are about to read of most of the good things of the race and not so much about the bad things a knowledge that the Arno is boosting an up-to-date business training for the boys and girls that are now going through school so that the business are more aware of the need to be repeated because of a lack of the proper methods of conducting business; all of which are things that the Arno can do so much better than anyone or any group, then I shall believe that the editor's modern approach through the Arno will rise to the heights that nobody can gainst it.

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.

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.

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.

A Definition For Prejudice A reporter for one of the daily papers, defines i'm friendly colloquy his idea of prejudice. Says he, both ages and colored people have misses. apparently helpless to lend effective aid. picture if you can in your mind a heavy, surging and stormy sea, which has lashed the life out of a struggling ship of iron and steel that is sinking. It is drowned simply out, the S. O. S. Prejudice, according to his belief, has been the mainspring behind the decline of the human species and biologically speaking, of ALL LIVING THINGS. In the human race, he says, prejudice is the problem of natural selection, keeping the most developed of their kind matting and thereby producing better and better. Five hours inter, hours that must seemed agonizing, the great steamer picking up the call of distress moves in sight. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Mays is without a double the most promising of the world's most重量级 title, one held by Paul Roseberg. So far, and chicks fortunes sunk at the particular time that he was very quickly thinking of enlisting in the Navy. In fact conditions had become a bad around Newport that Suggs went to Newport to find a job. He had no difficulty in finding work there, but the big city didn't seem to him and in 1920 he returned to Newport. During the six months he was in New York he never gave a glace or saw a light. Sugar Meets His Manager Sugar shortly after his return to New England mutual friends brought him and David L. Landau, present friend, guest and mentor, together. Then from the partnership that lifted work from the ranks of the pork and beef performers to the very top of the bottom and featherweight divisions of the six New England States. Landau didn't take his new role as a lawyer unless such a willing, like- ike his success such a willing, like- ike his chap, thing that he beckered down to business and set out to get his charge some work. The struggle for recognition had its exception in Fall River, where, by strange coincidence, he acquired both his w England titles. Sugar Meets His Manager It was the Border City that Chick meetd all doubt from his new found mind as to his ability, courage and in the rough going. The memorable fight with Bobby M. was a work lightweight square, was the medium through which he had his opponents. Always rated as fast and above "thick" somehow had never gained a reputation for being able to assimilate punishment and then be taken seriously. Early in July, Bell had no further doubts on that memory, weighing 15 pounds more than Sainsbury and dwarfing the colored by his great height and tremen- tous reach, knocked him down three times. His time Sainsbury struggled to his hitherto fight, the light right back to his earlier opponent. In the third fame he went down twice. The second to the past had at his ear the trembling Sainsbury's signs of his feet and de- pended him spread-eagled on his back and set to the four posts of the ring. "Click" Is Fouled No one expected Suggs to sit again and begin after the count of ten. But he pulled himself together and drew a transitional bounce by tearing into the assembled Michiels with hands flying like flails. New York lightweight. Seeing that that broke the heart of the bumpy Suggs except to make him fight hard. Michiels resorted to deliberate foiling. The expression on his grizzled features was one of mingled surprise, disappointment and fear. He shot his keel飞车 far below the belt and drew a warning from Referee Patty Downs. Suggs didn't make a murmur. A punch in the mouth and one more was warned to keep his punches above the decaline. At the start of the fourth round Michiels took deliberate aim with his 6ft and hanged Suggs flush on his protecting cup. Suggs doubled up in exercising him and邓雪真 true to the fearless Michiels has made him New Bedford's most popular referee, disqualified Michiels. Michael's money was held up by the bank, which was finally released upon his signing. He was later with Suggs within two weeks. But the combined efforts of the New York and Massachusetts Boxing Combat League over get Michael's to Suggs again. Sugas Gains Favor It is an all wind that blows no one good, however. Chick's splendid exhibition of gameness made him a tremendous gift in Fall River. He was heavy of work there and grew steadily, and he followed that great sporting city. Then began a nine months campaign to force Al Shuibert to give Seigus a crack at his featherweight title. Humming in the newspapers finally caught the results and articles were published for a news conference in the New England championship to be held in New Bedford on August 14, 1922. To get into condition for the match, Subert took on a supposedly easy shot in the meantime with a boxer tamer. The latter was a Room 100, very medicaire ability, practically the show held in the open air at the Cycledome drew but a small sprinkling of fans. The popular little Bearcat was not honeysuckle that night and Elkins comped with the decision and took along with it the New England featherweight title. Sings and his manager sat stunned in the unexpected turn of affairs and secretly said goodbye to almost a Pearl's hard work and careful planning. Behind The Scenes Here by the war is a little peep into what goes on behind the scenes in making of matches and shaping of champions. When surprise and shock of Elkins victory had worn off, advances were made to the matchmaker of the new Bedford boxing club for an imminent match between Elkins and Suggs, betting no encouragement from the team. Elkins left New Bedford that night without having signed a contract for bout that the future prospects for a match at the featherweight title would be a challenge. Suggs manager shone the light on the Fall River Club. Success crowned his efforts. Charley Meley, who was then reading the destinies of Elkins was within two hours of the Shuubel-Elkins fight. Gets New England Title Elkins had received $112 for boxing Shuubel. Elkins was offered a guarantee of $1000 to buy Suggs in rounds the following week at Fall River. the size of the purse was too much for Melesy and he fell for it like a ton of back. The result of that match is tow a matter of boxing history. CONSULT Office Hours: 10 A.

The Western star did the century dash in 9 4-5 seconds, which equals the relay mark and one-fifth of a sec. and short of the world's record established by D. J. Kelley in 1906, and equaled by Howard Drew in 1914. With the crack of the pistol, Hubbard shot out in front as if he had been fired from a cannon. He gradually pulled away from Portritt, of Oxford, England, as the gap widened. The Dewaldman fought doggedly and summoned all of his strength to catch his flying foe. With a comfortable lead Hubbard appeared to slow palely and many authorities said he might have broken the world's record if he had stuck to the pace. The event was the star performance of the relays and aroused the tremendous crowd to the highest pitch of excitement. The crowd came to see Hubbard and possibly a world's record broken in the 100-yard dash. Thousands cheered the crowd, and Hubbard stood in front of the grandstand, and young boys called him by name. Men pointed him out to their wives and sweet-hearts, and ambitious school chaps watched his every move. Hubbard was the band leader and everything else fell in line. Greatest Of All Athletes This season saw run in heats. Parritt of Oxford University, race to an easy victory, defeating C. W. Weeks, of Princeton by three yards in 10 seconds flat. Hubbard won his trial easily and walked away from Gwynn Schoenmaker of New York University, Metropolitan A. A. C., 80-yard This victory of Hubbard is merely another confirmation of his greatness and unquestioned right to be called the greatest of the great college athletes of all time. **Howard Losses** Howard made a medium showing in the relays and failed to finish in either of the first three positions. In event 47, Howard was fifth, and the col-lege team, with a school finished fourth. The event was won by Rates in 3 minutes 35 4-5 seconds. The time was fast. **Lincoln Finished Second** Howard was in third position in the first lap, but Jason was nosed out at the end. Lincoln's team in the one-mile college relay, which was won by St. Joseph in 3 minutes 32 4-5 seconds, finished second. Gordon took the lead, but dropped back to fifth place at the end of the first lap. In the second lap, he made a second and missed to first place. Fletcher finished in third position, but Strickland managed to nose out Pontiac for second honors. All other race schools took their events with flying colors. In event 63, which was the high school 1-mile event, the boys won the Woman-Pub of Washington in the time of 3 minutes 32 4-5 seconds. Dunbar finished at least 50 yards ahead of Flushing High. Bordentown was an easy winner of the event. The boys won the Pump of Washington the did the mile in 3 minutes 37 seconds. These boys had everything their way from the bark of the gun until the finishing line had been crossed. **Cheyney Second** Cheyney Training School coped second honors in event 88 1-mile Normal School relay championships, which is a new record. It was noticeable that many white schools and colleges had race youths on their teams. **Chester Bowman** C. Bowman was on the Syracuse one-half mile college relay team, but this school failed to finish in the coveted position, however Bowman finish- C. Port was captain of DeWitt Clinton, N. Y. team, whose team failed to win first, second or third positions. Butler, of Geneva, N. Y. was number one in team and his school won the 1-mile relay in event 77 in 3 minutes 31 seconds. New York Institute E. Kerwin, running under the colors of the New York Institute for the Deaf, was the main factor in carrying his team to second place in the 1-mile relay for preparatory schools. The event was won by the Pennsylvania School for the Deaf in 3 minutes, 41 seconds. Morgan Outclassed Morgans' team was hopelessly outclassed in the college relays. The Baltimore team was pitted against Lincoln, St. Jiseph, Dresel, Vilannov, Schuykill and oPomac State. Robinson, Hazzard, Smith, Dostle, Offutt and James made up the team, to a poor start and showed strain under the terrible pace. Hubbard and "Ike" Young, of Morgan, were the only race athletes to enter any of the international or special events. Young went in for the high jump, qualified, but the finals was won by Poor, of Kansas, by a (Look on Page 16).

IN RELA Belated Tennis East Over W Former National Tennis Ten Rank Belated Tennis Ratings Favor East Over West Says Brown By Edgar G. Brown In spite of the fact that the use of the strictly point system by the A. T. A. Rating Committee was adjudged sufficient reason for anticipating that there would be very little occasion for further discussion, as in years gone by we still do not believe that all Ballmore White on the subject of the Oyster State, we note that the young lady from Maryland, with an admitted frankish style of play according to the official rating's release gets number three (No. 5) among the women, and the dashing scientific, orthodox tennis star, the sweet little young woman in unadversed No. 4. But the Windy City is West, is it not? If only four days from the Pacific Coast. Smith Fares Better Too bad the young Baltimore favorite confined her activities to the home courts. Courtesy demands that we give the ladies first consideration, so we want to hear from the Misses fifth, and tenth places on their initial debut, crowding out the old faithfulness from little old New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The South seems to fare better than the West, excepting of course, the West, and the new left-handed wonder, Miss Paladin, from Germantown. (But let us all temper justice with mercy). "Grammey!" how gratifying it is to find the Baltimore doctor No. 13; it's a lucky prophecy but if he gets any pleasure there above his old rival, the lanky Washington winner of her partnership in Chicago, we wish him well. The greatest joy, however, comes from the fact that two of the most impossible old timers with their queer court antics and unorthodox strokes have failed to make the first ten and several Eastern youngsters outrank the hard-hitting Westerner, Mr. Hawkins from Indianapolis and the real comer, R. R. Simons, of Dayton. This good fortune in a small measure suffices for the anomaly of a pat ball artist being ranked as No. 1, after 1925 years of civilization. E. G. Snitch, a player among our host of backward tennis neophytes, its pitiful, but the only corresponding picture is a bunch of excited boys playing baseball in a vacant lot and these very children haven't any more sense than to believe they are actually playing tennis. Doubts some of their mothers believe their kiddies real Babe Ruth, as some of our good ladies feel their husbands really are wonderful tennis champions. Thompson Lacks Mental Attitude Saitch was No. 2 in the A. T. A. rating in 1923, and lris 1924 showing merited the same place. Ted Thompson does not play the brand of tennis, does he play the brand of tennis, attains out-rank Saitch as was demonstrated every time they met. Of course the first four positions are lamentably filled by players who absolutely know nothing of the accredited scientific American driving game. I does he have the first No. 5, because he has finally after ten years' experience started to learn the true fundamentals of a Tilden game—controlled speed. He is still too immature in its development, however, to outrank De. O. Opitz unanimously. He is of alluded to both artists in the back court, like Don't forget Don't forget, Daddy! "Our supply of Wrigley's is running low - so please Daddy, bring us some more Wrigley's. We'd be lost without it!" Pass it around after every meal. Give the family the benefit of this aid to digestion. It cleanses the teeth, too. Keep it always in the house.

No. 6, J. W. Anderson, the freak from Virginia must be another anomaly. I have never seen him in action. It's perfectly ludicrous to think of him as a newcomer to 'Big Time Tennis' as the press reports chronicle. Are any such things in Black America? No, they have a permanent berth in the first ten. He carries on in a way that sets a noble example to his young competitors and his many friends. We would probably, in our mythical ratings give his partner, Dr. Downing, a position of authority, others. E. R. Simpson of Daxon has lived up to the hopes of Miss Brown's Community House and the very magnanimous encouragement of Dr. Rose. It is too bad other professional men do not encourage the young people of community play, this most centrally important George Smith and E. Gomez, of New York City, have not yet hit their stride. They have splendid personal ideas, but they need to read a few tennis textbooks and then go out and spend a season developing a back hand. Your theory won't work with constant practice, because some come from constant, religious practice with a better player or most quickly by batting balls up against a wall.

The healthful game, exercising as it does practically every muscle, but lacks the strenuousness that characterizes tennis and many other outdoor sports. It is nevertheless a very exciting at times and requires a high degree of skill, good hand-eye and a real sportsmanship for it is an honor game and the word of a player is not questioned.

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.

WOMAN STRUCK BY AUTO Mrs. Hattie Williams, 1409 Ten Pin Alley, was struck by an automobile near here home Sunday.

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.

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.

MANUAL ARTS CENTER The work being done at our center is in keeping with the general aim of education. A development of the boy for useful citizenship through the social activities of the home. Our shop for the past year is gradually developing the general shop plan, and with the aid of the Parents' Club has been a success so far. No elaborate program has been mapped out, but the work has been done on a basis worthy of growth. A bird's eye view of the work places it in the following phases: Radio which leads to a future study of electricity. Elementary metal work. Processes of soldering. Construction of cookies, biscuit cutters, dust pans, candy pans, and the repair of home utensils. Wood work, aside from the class room projects. The framing of pictures, window screens, lock adjustments and home visitors in our school and a visit is necessary to appreciate the school's aim. C. M. E. CONFERENCE ENDS AT CAPITAL Bishop R. A.

MOSS HEADS BIG BROTHERS-SISTERS Organizations To Make Appeals In Northwest Churches Sunday The Big Brother and Big Sister Organizations which have meant so much to young men and women during its years work here will make an appeal for members ad funds in the churches in the Northwestern section of the city Sunday. The organization has appeared in churches in the eastern section and school 112 in a previous campaign and they plan to strengthen their work in this section. R. Maurice Moss, Secretary of the Baltimore Urban League, has been elected president to succeed Miss Elsie Mountain. During the short duration of their existence in Baltimore, they have been called upon by many agencies and businesses firms to aid in abating prison sentences by becoming a Big Brother or Big Sister to the less privileged or to give aid to those already imprisoned, by forming contact with the outside world that they might have the opportunity of communicating with friends or relatives. The Parole Board has said that some might be granted parole if some good Christian man or woman would become interested in finding them a job, then help them adjust themselves and care for their leisure time. Therefore, they are asking for a large membership of men and women who can act as Big Brother and Sisters Rev. Johnson Here The Rev. and Mrs. David Johnson, formerly of the Baltimore Conference, now of Chicago, Ill., were visitors at the Baltimore Conference during its session. They report that Bishop A. L. Gaines is highly esteemed and loved by Chicago ministry and laymen. We are at all times glad to receive furniture repair.

LVE LANES WEEKLY SERMON The sermon this week is supplied by the Rev W. H. Dean, Pastor Sharp Street M. T. Church. The sermon next week will be supplied by the Rev. J. T. Colbert, Pastor Grace Presbyterian Church. THE MINISTRY COMMISSIONED The world's need is Christ, the message—the gospel. When the storm recently swept a motion arose to aid 9,000 homeless and another in relief for the unfortunate sacrifice to hinder their zeal. Their clones, jazz earthquakes, miseries of vice that infect every creature in our eternal death. Go, therefore, your precious blood of Christ shed in abolittle result; for thousands upon top hell. Go with hearts pure and burnt. The World Service program is on real peace terms. Disarmament must be recognized and accepted by leating liquors for beverage purposes outs must be unknown; politics purified to minimum; virtue must be abolished; pure and undeleted religion and the earth will be full of the good vision of the world become a reality. Philanthrogy itself is feeble and the cross. The brotherhood which is impulse which alone can save human soul with Jesus, repentance toward God of the Holy Spirit, which the world never made in any other way. It was this that made John Wesley it was this that compelled St. Francis utter as with arms outstretched her Lord; more sufferings, Lord." It is the gelization of the world.

When the storm recently swept portions of the West, a general commotion arose to aid 9,000 homeless and to bury 800. States vied with one another in relief for the unfortunate victims, and allowed no necessary sacrifice to hinder their zeal. There are spiritual famines, pleasure cyclones, jazz earthquakes, miseries of soul, migrants, germs of error, and vice that infect every creature in our world, and there is worse than all—eternal death. Go, therefore, you who have wept when you saw the precious blood of Christ shed in abundance, and yet apparently with so little result; for thousands upon top of thousands are going headlong to hell. Go with hearts pure and burning with love. The World Service program is on. Nations must be brought together on real peace terms. Disarmament must be universal. The Golden Rule must be recognized and accepted by capital and labor: strikes and lockiating liquors for beverage purposes abolished; poverty and crime reouts must be unknown; politics purified; traffic and bootlegging of intoxicated to minimum; virtue must be the law of social life; child labor abolished; pure and undeleted religion must be the religion of the world, and the earth will be full of the goodness of the Lord. Help Browning's vision of the world become a reality: Philanthropy itself is feeble and putseless unless it has been born of the cross. The brotherhood which is worthy of the name, the evangelistic impulse which alone can save humanity begins in the fellowship of the soul with Jesus, repentance toward God, assurance of sins forgiven, inflow of the Holy Spirit, which the world cannot give. A true missionary was never made in any other way. It was this that made John Wesley say, "The world is my parish." It was this that compelled St. Francis Xavier the urgent missionary utter as with arms outstretched he sailed for India. "More sufferings, Lord; more sufferings, Lord." It is this that will make possible the evangelization of the world. "I hear a voice you cannot hear, which bids me not to stay. I see a hand you cannot see, which beckons me away." CHURCHES NOTICE S.

A. H. Nolls it is said, purchase a film from the late Thomas树 for $65,000. Because of its address in baring racial conditions it was expected to be a sensational genre. Consequently, it graduated much of the expected punch when the film had its preamble. The picture has been in storage for over 40 or 10 years circulated at the first showing say that after a three days showing in Los Angeles that exhibitions of the film was not withdrawn seriess results would follow. The New York debut was preceded by a prologue by 11 colored people. It was a levee scene with dancing and the singing of plantation songs. The Story The leading male character is played by a white character. Negro deals with an educated Negro who attempts to exhort his people to make the most of their opportunities, to assure them of whites, more socially and physically. At the close of the picture he is again in the epilogue awakening to the realization that Washington was right. THE NEGRO MUST STAY IN HIS PLACE. Soaila Equity In brief she has as its theme, the equality of the races. Judge Lowell believes that he can solve the race problem by taking a militant role with him, as a secretary and having him pose for white. In the end the mixed blood commits a murder after hearing the secretly. The girl believes him to be white. Consensus of New York reviewers is that the picture is one of the worst "tops" in years. It is said to be crudely made, made up of "stars" and "free andEqual" is just so much "junk" Thomas H. Ince. deceased, is recalled as the director who was "Nation" from Thomas Dixon's Clansman. The later film being opposed by Negroes wherever screened. Elevated results. It is noted that the elevator conductor who had been employed at the theatre for 13 years was so incensed at the picture that he left the car on the ground floor and threw his job. He is said to have told A. H. Woods, that he would not work with the director, and showed a picture of that character. Cards Of Thanks Mrs. Rosa E.

See S. BROWN Store: 626 Laurens Street 2t-May2 ORGANIZED LABOR PLANS EDUCATION Bill Persedes Educational Group to Study Race Relations in Industry A new epoch in the relation between white and Negro workers in America was begun last week when in the Fourth Annual Convention of the Workers' Educational Bureau a resolution was passed endorsing the development of a Circumstantial Union terracial and international adjustment in connection with the study of trade union problems by leaders of the union league. This resolution was introduced at the request of T. Arnold HILL, director of the Department of Industrial Development of the Union League, who at the invitation of some members of the convention attended the sessions. The text of the resolution is as follows: "Because of the very evident contribution they are making to the development of the labor movement in all lands and the widespread impact it has had with reference to these contributions, we strongly recommend that Workers' Banks and municipalities and their relationship to the labor movement. This is the view in view of the varied racial composition of American industry and the diverse backgrounds of the American Labor movement towards workers of all races." This pays the way for introduction of the American Labor College in Law College of lectures on relations between Negro workers and the labor movement and the contributions which Negroes as laborers have made to the development of American life. Living Cost Lower For Race Farmers Living Cost Lower For Race Farmers Washington, D. C.—According to the Bureau of Agricultural Economics of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, the Bureau's intensive proposition to keep the wolf away from the door of a white former than it is for a colored former. Other words, the Bureau asserts, and backs it up with pictures, that a white farm family with an average number of persons per farm spends for one year upon the tidy sum of $1,436, while a colored farm family of 4.5 persons spends only $610 for the same period. The farm is as food, clothing, rent, furnishings, operation, health, advancement, insurance and personal needs were figured in the farm budget, and owner of the farm was the owner of the families were included in the families observed by the Bureau experts, who said, in their report: "It will be noticed that the number of the colored families much smaller than those of the whites, but that there is also a smaller variation in the amounts spent by the different classes of No details are given to show how far the 861 white and 154 colored families under consideration were placed in the contrast between the expenditures of white and colored for the items named seems to indicate that the condition of the latter leaves some room for variation. In such matters as health, advancement, personal expenses, and insurance, there is less difference in the percentage distribution of the items in the familial groups than in the large items. Industrial Briefs (Columbia Press Bureau) Abyssinia has a Jewish population of 50,000. There are 196 colored men who earn their living as structural iron workers on building sites.

C.—Colored employees holding skilled occupations in the country's iron and steel industries are gaining slowly but surely. This fact is evidenced by the increasing number of millwrights, electric welders, molders, coremakers, furnace keepers, machine hands, crane engineers, and other artisans whose proportions are widening in Pennsylvania. Birmingham, Ohio and Indiana steel districts, in which, prior to 1917 and 1918, semi-skilled and unskilled workers far overbalanced skilled workers in proportion to white hands. In this connection the policies of certain mills, particularly in Middleton, Ohio, Pittsburgh, Pa. Gary, Ind., Birmingham, Ala., has insisted upon health programs and pleasant working conditions for their employees together with promotional opportunities. The slow but sure gains of Negro labor in the great American steel mills have largely come from the new understanding of human working masses, regardless of color—the masses which make American made products the best products in the markets. The organization and unorganized Negro labor becoming more potent each day, in council as well as on the job, to the end that human relationships among the working class are strengthened. Christian creed that shapes all American progress, it is to be expected that labor gains, both profitable and peaceful, are soon to follow the steel gains, and parade all American production. Willard, Ohio—Reports that the Ohio Farm Company will lease 1,500 acres of its swamp lands near here to Japanese farmers were confirmed Thursday night by President H. O. Parsons on his return from California, where he has just completed negotiations with about 500 Japanese. It is said that the families to come here will be Christians and Americanized and the land is to be farmed on a regular rental basis. The first Japanese families are expected here in July, with others following upon completion of their harvest in California. Lettuce, celery, onions and other vegetables will be planted it is said. Construction of fifty houses for the first fifty families will be started in the next few days. President Parsons said. Already contracts have been made with construction concerns for the erection of the houses. National Survey (For Associated Negro Press) While the opening of the building season has started it demand for skilled men in building trades, the position of common labor is pretty much the same. Steel business has dropped and companies are working around $5 per cent capacity. More than eight thousand men lost their employment in Illinois alone during March, and this fact is more in evidence in the state, which still exists throughout the North. There is little prospect of the steel industry plummeting, half a mile of the glowing predictions of Gary, Schwab and other big steel magnets. Orders must come in to mean business and orders are not coming. Railroads are holding up somewhat upon new work. The packing houses are running short time. General factory work is slow because they are overstocked and goods are The entire nation is still looking for the boon that has not put in some improvement, but no one seems to be able to place a finger upon the cause. One of the most significant signs of conditions is that practically no demands of unions throughout the country for higher wages have been made. We are continuing on the same scale as in 1924. So be careful where you go. If you leave hunting for work. Know that you are not hunting in sight when you start your trip. The Afro-American—South's Biggest and Best Weekly National Negro Trade Week Under the auspices of the National Negro Business League a Negro trade week will be promoted throughout the country May 4th to 9th. This movement nationalizes the successful efforts which have been carried 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 antagonism to other merchants, but to direct attention of the buying public to services offered by Negro merchants. In 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 are 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 financial institution to any one, but that day is not now and until it comes the simple laws of self-preservation should impel us to stimulate race business by loyal patronage wherever possible. We cannot meet the needs of the growing efficiency and expanding ambitions of our youth with the limited industrial outlook of the present. We must have banks, commercial enterprises, factories and distributing trades. We must conduct basic industries and control capital. Without racial bias, there must be the realization that to properly provide sustenance for our own coming generations we must build business and this can only be done by lovingly patronizing Negro business places. This, we believe, is a good argument why Negro 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.

Heard and Seen In Baltimore Ralph Matthews Wonder what an Arvo reporter thinks about when he is wearing out how his shoes are in a formal suit. Well we had a chance to get this dome first hand when some club whose name we can't spell gave one of these ritz shindings Friday night. Gee! That music sounds good. Too bad those birds can't enjoy it in those funny looking counts. Dancing in a straight jacket. WHAT WOULD YOU DO? The Arvo invites replies to the following series of questions of human reaction to moments of extreme crisis. Send in your answer or a similar question. Four men were climbing up an key mountainside in the Alps; they were greatly dreaded and were equipped books. All were roped together, with stout rope about their waists. If one slipped, the other three held him from falling down the mountain. They walked like flies over the dangerous ledges. Beneath them yawned a bottomless chasm. Just look at that fat woman out there dancing by herself; oh, no she isn't, there's a man on the other side. Well, I had a tough day today with kidnappers napping and voooodoos voooodoos. A report came out of his own paper. That reminds me. I went over on the corner where a girl was kidnapped last week and there were twenty old maids standing still for the kidnappers to come back. Gosh, look at that Gink with that dandelion in his pocket. One shot from that and hes a goner. I don't see why those birds carry that bootiefts for anyway. Oh, well. If he can stand it I guess I can too. I touch him for a sip. Look at that bloke strangling that woman out there on my pad and pencil, this will probably be a headliner. This is an awful place to murder a poor woman though. Well, I think you of that; they are waltzing. I'm gonna ask this clopper whether he thinks the earth is flat or not. No, he thinks Seattle, Washington, is Booker T. Washington's sister. Wonder how they get that way, saying the earth is flat: they must judge the shapes of the earth by the condition of their heads. And that preacher is a college graduate, too: he must have gone through college without studying geography. I would like to know why that bald head man stopped talking to that pretty girl so suddenly. Oh, I see now, his wife is watching him. Listen to that piece of whale bone telling that jane how much money he spends in taxies. Why that scag hasn't been in a cab for so long he thought he had to buy a ticket and watch a timetable. Just tonight when he crawled in one, he asked the driver to show him the way to the smoker. The driver asked him to move his two suit cases. He said those aren't suit cases, those are my feet. --- grade crossing accidents. Aided by such disasters as the fires but scant attention to grade.

The Ava insists replies to the following series of questions of human reaction to moments of your answer or a similar question. Four men were climbing on an ice mountain inside the Alps; they were heavily dressed and were culled boots. All were roped together, with stout ropes and a rope around the other three held him from falling down the mountain. They waited like files over the dangerous ledges. Beneath them yawned a bottomless The first man in line caught a jagged rock and pulled himself over the edge. The second man grasped the right fell over the edge of the cliff and escaped to follow it. Then the tragedy happened. The third man slipped. He fell back 'bumping into the fourth man and pushing him from his feet. The fourth man fell over the edge of the cliff. The leader braced himself, but the strain was too great. He found himself slipping. He could not help, though of the knife in his pocket—he could cut the rope and save his own life, or could go over the edge with the rest to a sure death. The fifth man led the edge on. He hid only a second to spare. Out came the knife. There was frantic slashing—the last strand parted—there was a sound of sliding he was savaged. BUT DID HE DO RIGHT? WOODSTOCK --- OLD TIMER COULD LIKE THE SOUTH Tells Reporter he would like whole State to himself. I could live in the South if I had lived in the North." Old Timer told the Reporter up at the A.M. E.

If he doesn't come, none of his business, you feet waitin'." "Twas quite pleasant wasn't it?" asked the Reporter with arcscan. "Sure," answered O.

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.

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.

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.

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.
