Y.--The John Brown Memorial Association led by Dr. J. Max Barber of Philadelphia as its national head, will hold its third annual memorial service, and also celebrate the 125th anniversary of John Brown's birth at the grave of the old abolition hero two and a half miles out of Lake Placid Saturday. The outstanding feature of the celebration will be an address byusid Garsson Villard, grandson of William Lloyd Garrison, the great Boston abolitionist, Mr. Villard is a senior Editor of the New York "Growing Post", and at present editor of "The Nation". speaking in the Town Hall a late Fleid, Mr. Villard will say, "However one feels about John Brown, whether one believes in his doctrine or violence or not, there is one thing about him which we can all admire in his devotion to his cause. That is one of the great lessons of his life. For what he believed to be right he was willing to give all his time, energy and his strength. Half Slave—Half Free We are still endeavouring to carry on a Republic half slave and half free. Naturally I refer, among other things, to the condition of the colored people whose known grave was taken. Their death concludes and few people lift up their voices in protest. Through that disenchantment the Constitution of the United States, that every child in America must low down before it, if there is a desideration (desiderer) which an American Swiss peasants had to support, is daily violated. Turiously enough, the societies for the defense of the Constitution, the Daughters of the American Revolution and all the societies silent about theouting of the sword document which contains our fundamental laws. The South profits by it. and Congress refuses to act and reaffords the Southern representation. Slam at Coolidge The worst offenders against the Constitution today are not the handful of extremists who would move against it by extra legal measures, but the officials our country from the President of the United States down who sworn to uphold the Constitution and to enforce so many other laws as something to be enforced when they see it, and when it suits their purposes. The present President gives us one hourly after another as to the perfection of our institutions and the wonderful happiness and prosperity. He cries "Peace, Peace," and there is no peace. He does not defend the Constitution; he counsels at its violation.

BUS STIRS COMMISSION Berry O'Kelly Insists He's Citizen And Driver Ac- cepts Him As "Fare" PICKENS OF EFFO LYNCH Mob Feared Wife of Former Talladega Co RIDE ON N. C. PICKENS HEARS BUS STIRS OF EFFORT TO COMMISSION LYNCH HIM O'KELLY OWNS WHOLE NORTH CAROLINA TOWN Three Mile Ride May End Barring Of Race From All Busses Ralcigh, N. C.--When Berry O'Kelly rode on the inter urban bus line from this place to Method last week it was only a three mile drive but broke all precedents in the State. Heretofore, inter-urban bus lines had refused to haul colored people. O'Kelly has several automobiles but he was in a hurry to get back to Method and insisted on riding in the bus. The driver at first, refused to haul him but O'Kelly showed his ticket and at last won out. As a result of this ride the whole question has been agitated in the State as never before. Attorney General Brummit refused to give a definite opinion on the question as to whether commercial bushes shall haul colored passengers in the future. W. T. Lee, chairman of the Public Service Commission said it was his opinion that the bushes were probably common carriers and would probably have to carry oed passengers as well as white in the future. COLORED PEOPLE BARRED Until O'Kelly's three mile ride it had been practically impossible for colored people to use bus lines in the State. Had any ordinary man made an attempt at it he would probably have suffered violence. O'Kelly is severe both racially and prominent. He practically owns the little town of Method, three miles from Raleigh and is one of the wealthiest men of the State. He was an intimate friend of the late Booker T. Washington and is said to be one of the three or four colored men who have ever been named on the Quince Bondat Tuskegee Institute. He founded a school in Method and has loaned money freely to both races. It is believed that he told the bus driver to accept him as fare or stay out of Method.

NEWSUPERVISOR REFUSES POST IN BALTIMORE C. W. Reynolds Wires Afro That He Will Remain In Norfolk, Va. DECLINATION AVOIDS A HOT FIGHT HERE Civic Associations Had Prepared To Carry Their Protest to School Board Charles W. Reynolds, principal of Douglass High School, Norfolk, Va., wired the Afro-today that he had decided not to accept the post of supervisor of Baltimore colored schools. His appointment had meen made at the March 19th meeting of the local School Board and subsequently accepted by him to become effective July 5, 1925. His salary was to be $3,500 a year. No reason was assigned for his change of mind. First In: The first intimation received by the AFRO of Mr. Reynolds' desicion to decline the appointment after he had accepted it, came in a letter that circumstances surrounding the resignation of former Supervisor Russell indicated that the Baltimore field was difficult and that Mr. Reynolds would likewise probably fail to superintend of Superintendent Henry S. West. Hot Fight Avoided Mr. Reynolds' decision to remain in Norfolk avoids a hot fight on the part of several civic organizations which protested his appointment and planned to carry the fight against him to the School Board and if he was not allowed, hostility to Mr. Reynolds cropped out when it was learned that he was a candidate for the principalship of the Teachers' Training School here and failed to land the job, a year ago. This post is still vacant. It was argued that if Mr. Reynolds was not allowed to remain in the School he was not fitted for the bigger job as Supervisor of all the schools. Other Objections Other objections to Mr. Reynold's coming here centered in the fact that he had held eight different school positions in the past thirty-six years, more than is customary among school administrators. Rumors that his short term in some places was due to the fact that he had not given satisfactory service, led interested civic organizations to refrain while not made public were placed before Sept. West nearly a month ago and steps were taken to do everything possible to prevent his coming here. Mr. Reynold is a native of Springfield, a graduate of Wittenburg College, Springfield O. where he received the Ph. B degree in 1896. He took advanced work at Wilberforce in 1910 and was awarded the A. M. degree. During the summers of 1910-11-12, he pursued courses in supervising and training at Columbia University. Supervising Principal He held the position of supervising principal in Richmond, Ky., for eight years, from 1899 to 1907; supervising principal of colored schools in Maysville, Ky., for five years, from 1907 to 1912; supervisor of colored schools at Muskogee, Okla., six years, 1912 to 1918; supervisor of the Normal School at Maysville, S. C., from 1918 to 1922; supervising principal of Industrial School at Downingtown, Pa., from 1922 to 1923; supervisor of the High School Department of Clarke University, Atlanta, Ga., part of 1923 and 1924; principal of Booker T.

Review Of An Administration On The Humorous Story Of How Professors Were And Were Not Made To Attend Noonday Chapel Exercises to check up on absentees. One of the most scholarly professors, still member of the Howard University task force "cutting," but nothing serious resulted except to exchange a red hot correspondence between the president and this professor. Congress Might Object Well, after a fashion, some one espaced intoxyrys by the Federal Government and that Congress might take exception to appropriating funds to finance a Sunday school. He was advised not to force the issue but to make church exercises lucently yielded, but told the processors that he was expected to mark them at the end of the year. He would not force them to go to the church, but they must not expect a high mark. Just one more episode marks the coming of Howard's new president. He finally made his way over to the faculty largely of white professors. He informed these white professors that the intelligence of these colored professors was to be measured and the results were to be made known to philosophy and theology in his mind has never been discovered. Perhaps, he wanted to prove that he had found colored men who were "really intelligent." He had previously said that he had seen at least six colored professors who would be an honor to any institution. At any rate, he selected a young white man, whose subject is quite foreign to that of psychology, to examine. Paradoxical as it may sound, some of the colored professors actually submitted to these tests. In the due course of time, the examiner reached the "right place" in the testing came to an abrupt end. Another faculty meeting followed. The president explained that he meant no indignity to the color guard, but he wanted the why storekeeper tries to force an article on a colored customer by declaring that he himself uses the same article and finds it just excellent, the president said that he himself tried the test, but had not made a very good one. He then forced the matter, and later turned the tests on the students. Such was Dr. Durkee's introduction into Howard University. No one knew him to the colored professors. Next week's article will cover his first "educational reform." Washington.—Theodore R. Hagan, indicted on a charge of manslaughter in connection with the death of John Ott, Jr., white, in a traffic accident on May 30th last, has been acquitted by a jury in criminal court No. 2.

C.—The exposition of intolerable conditions at Fisk University, resulting in the resignation of Dr. Payette A. McKenzie, has revived that true conditions at Howard University may be revealed. An attempt, therefore, will be made to review, in a series of articles under the caption of 'MURDERY, PRESIDENT Durkee's administration.' The recent ambition of Howard's president to administer the affairs of the Curry School of Expression of Boston, Mass., has arisen the alumni to a plech hitherto unknown. Received Favorably No president of Howard University was ever received more favorably, at the beginning of his administration, than Dr. Durkee. Two consecutive years, he had been at each other's throats for years. Both were offering virtually the same degrees, bidding for the same constitution, and receiving various descriptions of courses. The catalogue, in many instances, was more of a prophecy than a dependable schedule. In one instance, he advertised with dashes as instructors. Neither the courses nor the dashes even materialized. There was need of a central college with浸透ed work, been a bit passive. The hope grew that a real educator in the prime of life might take hot' the situation, and that the announcement was made that a new president, sofulf and active, had been appointed, the faculty, alumni, and undergraduates made the welcome of the new pres Called College Faculty No sooner had the president taken his office than he called the college faculty together. He informed the gathering that he had not been a candidate for the position which he declared that the trustees of Howard University had to pay him a salary that would prevent him from counting his nickels and dimes. The poor penniless professors, who had not reached the "nickels and dimes" but held their peace. Time To Be Silent It was time to be silent, for when one realized that the United States Commissioner of Education was reprimanded for other public servants receiving less than $10,000 per annum, it looked like reckless extravagance for a small medient institution, depending almost solely upon the charity of the president, the equivalent of $10,000 yearly to a president who had yet a reputation to make as an educator and administrator. The experiment proved as productive as the attractive gold nugget, such questionable action could not escape censure. If, on the other hand, it proved as valueless as the provoebal gold brick, the other public servants relying race would have to be faced. Met. The Alumul Following this stirring, and somewhat puerile, dissertation of his salary, the new president met the alumni on the day of the Howard University that he had refused to accept the presidency of their Alma Mater until after the trustees had given him "absolute power" to run the University, of the trustees have since unfolliciously denied that such power was given, but their own eloquent denials have been completely refuted by numerous acts of the president. This unprecedented delegation of power as might be expected from an alumnus of autumnity look like a novice. Faculty Again The wonders did not come with that memorable alumni meeting. The college faculty was called together again. For a reason, which he did not explain, the new president was determined to bend this "refractory" college faculty. He told the assembly that no professor, unwilling to give fifteen minutes daily, in chapel service, to the professors, was a professor in Howard University. Heathen Professors Some marvelled that the prescription was made so slight, and all agreed how it exchanged what a man knew with a place for a heathen professor. The law was laid down in clear and eloquent English. Hereafter, all professors in the course of their training tend no-day chapel exercises. To make the command ever more impressive, the president recited it before the students in chapel. They chapel exercises daily, and that their professors would also have to attend unless excused by him. One professor secured an excuse to chapel exercises, and dine promptly at noon to escape an attack of indigestion. Another was excused by this big-hearted president to nurse an ill mother, and describe, were printed, on which was recorded the attendance of the professors.

C.— Cases of mythology relates the tale of Pyrigin, king of Pyrigin, who was consigned to Tartarus for eternal punishment. According to the myth, he was in a pool, up to his chin, yet he was parched with thine found nothing to assuage it; whenever he bowed his heart to quail, the water fled from it, beating the ground with his tail. Trees, indown with his fruit, dured their heads to him, pearls granates, apples, and lestions but when he tried to seize the winds whirled them high above the ground, which has bequeathed me the speech the word tanglele. Striking Resemblance What a striking resemblance to the plight of the American Negro in the prototype Today the Negro is chin-deep in American Freedom in democracy, which receives from the African-American headdress, just as the luscious fruits of liberty, but the two prove elusive to his grasp, the overthought, history goes no further, the patriotic, his patriotism, loyalty, and devotion to his country, in his country, in every crisis; but when the crisis out, the American Negro comes out, the American Negro some lapses of logic, is not included though his only demand is to the right to democracy. Sought Aid of All When the terrible Hunt was making his mighty army towards Britain and the world stood against it at the historic achievement of American soccer. America sought loyal American. The tree of the American democracy was the closer than ever before to the sea. He was to be called the Maine to Florida. He was made to be of a necessary share in the war democracy. He was made to be that his purchase of liberty was a real investment in freedom. He was an imperial insurrection of lynching was suspended during the titanic struggle. Fireworks Qser Now that the fireworks are in over, the fruits of democracy are gro's reach as they were before the war. Disfranchisement, segregation and discrimination are being baked into Wilson's from the South, blasted from the West, and Coulson for the East, the poity of government departments is useless constant. Optimistic devotions of the poor administration hold out the that President Coulson, she said, will blow that will reverberate across the world. Let us hope so, for the poor colored American has been eagerly for the response. Champlons Seldom Silent Champions of Justice are silent or passive, when urgent forms are needed. The great tension by rightous causes takes than by political expediences. In American Negro's cry for freedom been long and democratic indignation. Every President from the closest the Civil War to the present must heard this by war, by law, by the usual report of pilgrimages to the White House. Meanwhile, the United States has expended democracy. "To make the safe for democracy" was the bitter cry that fired the American people to ocean and free the oppressed. It be that America means to describe one kind of democracy the world and an audience to see that constitution may not really be a virtue, it posite can often cause emplacement. How can America be posite at home are undermined? Democracy is Topic While democracy remains the topic of the day, the modern textbook often uses the term *still reaches* for the alliance branches of the tree of life, and it is there no true Americans who assay to stem the recording wind and bend the American heart. The American may have a taste of real democracy.

The building originally was the collapse of the Drown and Stevens' Bank, the promoters of the Douglass Corporation hastened the sale of the theatre. It is also thought that the potential interests in Poutown, Pennsylvania, who were the mortgagees. Theatrical End No definite statement was obtained from the new owners about the future plans for the house, but in theatre circles it is believed that the dismantling of the equipment spells the conversion of the house. The house had an in- and out" career, and has never broken any records for attendance. From St. Louis St. Louis, Mo.—Under the direction of Mr. Glysses G.

The Afro-American—South's Biggest and Best Weekly Litigation now going on in the Federal Court of New York over the auuthorship of the Jewish lament "Ell Ell" brings to memory the use of the song by Greenlee and Drayton. This act learned the song in Russia while filling an engagement there, and use it in their repertoire, singing it in Hebrew. The English translation of "Ell Ell, lama sabachthan," is "My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?" and is taken from the Biblical account of the Passion of Christ. Brown's "Banana Oil" Edgar Brown writing in a contemporary publication recently chose to compare the singing of Paul Robeson with that of Roland Hayes. Indeed the writer, if we mistake not, said that Robeson was greater than the tenor. To our mind comparisons are are with one of this kind: "We were obliged to that the one responsible is deceived of writing where authorities fear to treat." I'll bet that the capable Robeson will agree that it is better to be a first Paul Robeson than a second Hayes. There is glory enough to go round. It has been brought to the attention of this office that the managers of the Lincoln Theatre on Pennsylvania Avenue demands of the company managers that play his house to have their girls, "Shake It Up." To the credit of two of these men, the managers canceled a dance at the theatre. Adding the above to the suggestive and "smutty" lines permitted at this theatre makes it a desirable place to stay away from. The conditions obtaining there are demoralizing to adults and children who attend. Though Negroes are the patrons operator, concession men, and even doorkeeper are the reasons that interest in the theatre is immediately the admission fees are. Recently the same firm opened Lincoln number two which is another "shooting gallery." Rachel King, the champion woman buck dancer of the state seems as agile as of yore. Miss King has the same attractive personality today that made her famous year a ago. Sue and Minnie Huckleck are two old-timers who won't quit "What Three Girls Wanted" was presented by a cast of 33 Monday night in the Grosvenor Theater at Fellow's Temple, Houston.

This week he is playing the Victory Theatre, Penn's Grove, New Jersey. After that the musician says he will be "at liberty" for the first time in two months. His billing now announces him as the Musical Tramp. The censorship squad of the Pittsburgh Police Department found 76 objectionable words in the production of "White Cargo," when it played that city. Director, Rook ordered the manager to trim the language or close. Accordingly "Dannis" were changed to "blankety blank," "guts" to entrails etc. The many "Niggers" in the script were left undisturbed. Julia Moody Quits Julia Moody has left Connie's Inn, and has been succeeded by Bessie Allison. It is thought that Miss Moody contemplates a vaudeville tour. Whites Get Muskogee House It is stated that the Grand Theatre, Muskogee, Oklahoma, has passed out of the hands of its former owners, and is now solely for white audiences. The house has never had a prosperous career, and is said to have finally given its last gasp and expired. This was the only house for colored patrons in the town. The Dixie and Dreamland in Tulsa are both reported to be doing a thriving business. Daly's May 6th, 1911 Johnny Meyers, J. H. Mules and Ernest Christian, $18.00, Waynes Burton and Gussie Smith, $25.00, Bertha Wheeler, $20.00 The destruction of Albaugh's Theatre by fire last week had its angle affecting colored folk as well as white. Though purely sentimental the regret was widespread for most of the amateur plays presented, and visiting artists disported themselves on the former Lyceum stage in yester-year. Before the erection of the Douglass and Regent this house was the only one available that could be profitably rented, the cost of the Lyric being too great for gain and the benefit from the proceeds collected at the former Charles Street house. Among the celebrities appearing there have been Roland Hayes, Cole-Talbert, and other artists no less celebrated. Many of the larger road shows also showed at the house. New York theatrical reviewers unanimously agree that Florence Mills and her little company were the "hit" of each performance at the New York Hippodrome last week. Will Vodery and his band shared in the praise. Because "Seven-Eleven" proved the biggest box-office attraction on the Columbia Wheel last season, Hurtig and Scamon who hold the franchise will probably add another all Negro unit. The piece may be called "Shuffle Along." "Cozzy" Dudley died at his home 4509 Vincennes Avenue, Chicago Illinois on April 20th. He had been ailing for sometime.

At Wonderland Adverse weather conditions have worked against the attendance at Wonderland Park thus far, but the management isn't "squawking," for they know that the warm weather will roll around outside and amusements will roll around this season the same as heretofore.

Storer lost their diamond at Harpers Ferry, W. Va., Wednesday. The final score was 8 to 1. The game was interesting from start to finish. Storer got her lonel run in the first innning, which looked mighty good until in the fourth when Howard's heavy artillery began to function. Smith started things off in the fourth by hitting to short and a wild peg to first made him safe on first. He stole second and then third and Simpson let fire three bagger scoring Smith, who tied the score -1. Monroe also went on by the error of Simpson's last left fielder, and Simpson chalked up another run while Monroe advanced to third. Bryant laid down a pretty bunt and beat it out, tallying Monroe. Bryant stole second and third and went home on a sacrifice. Monroe seemed to have struck their stride and with a lead of three runs they felt easier. In the fifth, Downing, who was pitching fine ball, started off with a hit, followed by another by Payne, which advanced Downing to third. Captain Baylor, feeling ratha, tried Babe Ruth's junt and knocked old oil into a brook in left field for homer, scoring both Downing and Payne, together with himself. This ended Howard's scoring until the ninth, when Payne, after making a hit and stealing second and third, came in on a bunt. **HOWARD** r h o e STORER r h o e Payne,lf. l 1 0 Mackey,lh. 1 2 0 Bayne,fc. l 1 7 0 Mitchell,2b. 0 0 1 Smith,cf. l 1 0 0 Mitchell,2b. 0 0 1 Simpson,lb l 1 0 0 Carril,gt,n. 0 0 0 Monroe,sc. l 1 3 0 Jeffries,of. 0 0 2 Codwell,2b. 0 2 0 Murray,cf. 0 0 1 Stevens,rf. l 1 3 0 Robinson,rf. 0 0 1 Roy,p. l 1 3 0 Brown,lb. 0 1 2 Braden. l 0 0 0 #Bowe,lc. 0 3 0 *Braden.* l 0 0 0 8 829 0 1 426 5 Howard ..... 0 00 4 30 0 00 1-8 Storer ..... 1 00 0 00 0 00 0-1 Daniels Eliminated In Chicago Marble Tourney Chicago, Ill.—The first three games in the marble seas-final championship and the last week were between Walter Daniels and Russell Hamilton, white.

A. library I have just found an issue of the Indianapolis Recorder which has the ratings of the ten best Hoosier players of my old stamping ground, picked by Oscar Smith who explains his findings are made in the light of each player's scientific attitude, court generalship, and repertoire of strokes; big words for one hopeless violence of pathetic pursurers section. The wall in the gymnasium on the Senate Avenue did it.

You can fifteen dollar racquet if you can afford it, with a medium sized handle. Avoid big handles. Read your chapter again on how to select a racquet. There are only a few pat ball artists of the submerged one-tenth who use a five dollar racquet from tennis, with which you are re-ringing last September makes their racquet O. K for 1925.

Start in the right court by first one serving a dozen balls to the same court, keeping each one in play as long as possible while advising your opponent to back him, so that you can perfect this absolutely necessary stroke.

MEET Afro American Entry Takes Ill But Continued To Cop Second Honors Saturday HUBBARD AND GOURDIN GIVE JUMP EXHIBITION ord Of 25ft. 6 in. By Afro Sports Editor Washington, D. C.—John Carroll, of Baltimore sporting the colors of the APRO, placed second in the two mile run in the National Championships and Intercollegiate Track and Field meet on Howard University campus Saturday. The event was won by Parker, of Howard, in the new campus record time of 9 minutes, 42 1-5 seconds. The track record was 9.58, established by Parker in 1924. Robert Lee, of Baltimore, running unattached, won three place. The Baltimore flash led the pack until the eight lap when he was stricken with stomach trouble, but he bravely kept on finishing the ninth and last lap scarcely 10 yards behind the win- Corroll Took Lead Carroll took the lead at the back of the gun, set the pace and held doggedly on running breast to breast with Lee. Carroll and Redmond dropped out, finding the pace too strenuous. Lee fell back to third position and showed signs of fatigue. Lee pardoned from the tape Parker in a fine burst of speed pulled away from Carroll and crossed the tape in a sprinted sprint that brought forth resounding cheers checked on all his resources. But suffering intense pain, his legs refused to respond. Carroll and Lee will enter the two-mile run in Baltimore May 20th, and will try for a new record. Howard Won Meet Honward won the meet with a wide margin over its nearest opponent, Lincoln University. The Washington team was practically the only team with the 490-yard dash, which was won by Strutton, of Lincoln in 51% seconds, and the high jump which went to Bird, of Lincoln with a jump of 5.25 feet. Young, of Morgan, placed second with a jump of 5 feet 10 inches. Lee Woods, the Lone Douglas High School student, running unattached, placed to place in the 440 and 220 yard runs.

Hubbard and Ned Gourd gave several exhibitions of the running broad jump, Gourd's 12-inch lifespan. The University of Michigan star followed with a mighty spring that carried him 25 feet 11½ inches through space. Gourd followed a second leap, 22 feet 22 inches, culminating a faulty take-off. Gourd jumped a third time that carried him 23 feet 1½ inches. In the final exhibition, Hubbard measured his distance accustomed to the jump, getting away to a living bean and sailed away for 25 feet 6 inches. The 120-yard low hurdles were won by McNight, of Howard, of Fort Myers, were disqualified for knocking over the barriers. The time was slow, 17.1. Dorsey, of Maryland Normal, won the interchapteral trophies in the open and scholastic divisions, respectively. Carter, of Howard, took the open century in 10 seconds.

C.—Advocating the fullest protection of American workmcnm from unfair competition resulting from the unlawful entrance into this country of alien labor, and urging a revision of regulations applicable to the requirements of the counties, plants, and registration that will accurately account for immigrants who gain admission into the United States without lawful right thereto, a group of citizens called on Secretary of Labor, the first week.

Kerywin Recorder Free pointed out that "consideration, first, for the American labor is of prime importance," and Chas. E. Hall showed that American labor is a home-buying, home-building group, thus contributing to a wholesome type of citizenry, unlike many undesirable aliens who work for a cheap wage and adhere to low standards of living. T. Edw. Hill revealed certain menaces in the State of West Virginia, due to the harmful competition of American labor with unlawful entrants from neighboring countries, who interfered with the police and stability of West Virginia native labor. Secretary Talks At the close of the conference, the committee much had been done by the Department of Labor to better many of the conditions under which it had been done. The department visiting committee, pledged the full official scope and co-operation of his Department's protection of all labor laws in this country and arriving to meet the American ideals.

Why do Baltimore actors and actresses go to Washington to enter the Douglas theatre and give the Baltimore people a treat? They could draw the largest audience to be in any theatre in Baltimore and also make hundreds of dollars. The following persons who could attend the show are Ozawa Lewis, Matte Sue Smith, Zelma Mason Theodore Upsher Marie Johnson, Sherlock Griffin Carrington, Dodothy Chapman, and Zelma Proctor.

Here's another Advocate of John Jasper's "Sun do move theory." Do we need to do this with God? Do Holy Bible? Do not!

For sheer sinimity, crass stupidity and Junker sabre rattling we manufacturers' Records. This publication is put forth every week in Baltimore, Md., and is dedicated, according to its own admisso, to the moment of the South and Southeast. In the issue of April 23rd this campman capital screaming screened in the city over the "very imminent Bolshevik uprising" as the Record says, and pacifism. The Record sees R&D in the development of the thinking to this ancient thinking sheet this country is in the greatest possible danger of being overthrown and annihilated by immensely seated in the White House. Sheets Run With Blood The editor of the Manufacturers' Record, President Isaac Field, of the School Board, has had a sort of theology. The streets running with blood, our institutions uprooted, the Christian religion banished to Siberia, and free-taking the place of monasteries. Because all of these things are just around the corner the good editor feels that all of the pacifists and others opposed to hell should need, according to this journal, in a bigger army and navy, more airplanes and more poison gas. Keep their Place And it is not only on account of the cold need to be so constantly armed to the teeth. An armed truce is necessary to KEEP the Colder Press of the world in "their Place."

In this way the law and the profits is maintained. More Desirable Citizen In the issue of April 23rd the Record tell us that the Negro is a more desirable citizen than the foreglener. To be sure he, you can be easily told. Dooley says, too, he can be used as a strikebreaker. This makes him more desirable. Also the Negro works for less wages than the foreglener. This makes him most desirable. Also the Negro manufactures 'Record' so that I may know when to take to my stormcelar to escape the bombs of the Reds. Also in order that I may be in position to tell Negroes what nice things are in the steadfast proponent of the Bourbon South. Everybody is Colored Wm. Norman Bishop 0 M. Wyatt, Jessup, Md Keep their Place The Afro-American—South's Biggest and Best Weekly THE BOXING GAME Chick Suggs Offered Bouts By Australian Boxing Promoters The Uncrowned Bantamweight Champion Postpones His Trip To Australia When Prospects Of Getting A Bout With Abe Goldstein Loom, But His Hopes Are Blasted when Cannonball Martin Wins the Title Editor's Note: This is the fifth installment of the story of the life and battling career of "Chick" Suggs running for the ABO League without a doubt the most prominent contender for the world's bantamweight title, now held by Phil Rosenberg. A natural bantamweight, Suggs found it irksome campaigning since the feathered man was constantly giving away anywhere from three to eight pounds to highly rated opponents. After that memorable series of bantamweight matches in which he lost his championship and then persisted until he won it back again, Chick decided that his best fighting weight was around the bantamweight limit and the hard work is possible for the lighter division. Then came another disappointment—to be spotted with its share of them—Eddie Cannonball Martin's unexpected win over Goldstein threw another monkey wrench in the machinery Suggs wrenched in and he being given a shot at Abe's crown before the lustre wore off. Nothing remained then to do but doing a challenge to helpoping him, and it would receive recognition. Only dead cars were turned toward it. Hence negations were resumed with the Australian promoter and plans agreed upon to work to sail from Vancouver in January. Formally Challenges Martin Just when it seemed that Chick was going to make his long delayed Gets Bout With Champion One by one he defeated many of the leading bantams, until he capped his surge to the front with an easy win in New Bedford over Young Montreal. Rhode Island's claimant for the bantam, honor wreath, came then the things he had been working for for months, and a match with Abe Friedman, the acknowledged king of the New England bantams. Displaying the same crafty ring generalship and relentless attack that enabled him to put Monty on a back shelf. Suggs barred Friedman from under his bantam diam. After that setback the clever little Bonsonton hit the skids and every one who could lay claim to a New England residence immediately claimed the sectional championship by the firefly of victory over the detached Friedman. Suggs did away with this trouble in a most expeditious and satisfactory manner. He simply took on these pscudo claimants one by one and trounced them all into silence. Suggs' claim to the bantam and feather titles now is undisputed. With the ascension of Suggs to the bantam, three. New Bedford could again beast of being the home of another dual New England cham- Not since Franklin Britt had ruled over the light and wet divisions and any New Englander held champions in two chases. Speaking in terms of sectional championships, he won the New Bedford back on the murificial man. First Fight In N. X. The next step in Suggs' persistent climb toward a national prominence was break out at Moees of all fighter jets in New York. Many a manager had made a pilgrimage to that famed metropolis but few had been successful in resulting from applications at the shrine of "bigtime" engagements. All Suggs asked was a chance to determine on his results the position on the matchmaker of the Commonwealth Sporting Club to put Chick in on one of his cards. Operations for his Gotham debut were more painstaking than ever before. The result was that he was in prime mental and physical condition when he first met the Commonwealth patrons. From the opening bell Suggs carried the battle to the city of New York, where he hung gloves into Mercer until the crowd, which had been naturally skeptical, bowled for him. In the fifth word Mercer succumbed to the inevitable and Suggs' first appearance in New York brought him a knockout victory, making him one of Hariim's fictive idols. Services In Demand After the splendid beginning "Chick!" he demanded in the big top. He followed with a short set with equally impressive triumphs and developed into one of the strongest attractions on the Competition field. He began to attract considerable attention in the inner shrine of pugilistic solos and it wasn't long after he added an offer for a trip to Australia. Full expenses both ways and a guarantee of fiveights "down uninterrupted" pursues of $2500 were included in the articles to which "Chick" agreed. Arrangements were made for binder copies of the time "Chick" had strong hopes of forcing Abe Goldstein, whom he had beaten in Fall River a few months before, became champion to him and later took course, with Abe's bantamweight championship of the world at stage. Postpones Trip Abroad The Australian promoter could see the logic of "Chicks" argument that if he went away from the country just when his chances of getting his long crack at the world's top tennis player would suffer accordingly, so he, amiably agreed, to postpone the date of the sailing. Then came another disappointment—Chick's life somehow seemed to end—Eddie Cannonball Martin's unexpected win over Goldstein throw another monkey wrench in the machinery Singles had in motion at the shot at Abel's crown before the lure wore off. Nothing remained then to do but to win at Martin hoping against hope that it would receive recognition. Only deaf cars were turned toward it. Hence negotiations with promoter and plans agreed upon for Chick to sail from Vancouver in January. Finally Challenges Martin Just when it seemed that Chick was going to make his long delayed trip to the continent down at the New York boxing club, New York friends tipped him off that the New York Boxing Commission might entertain a formal challenge from him for a bout with His manager immediately departed for New York hearing a certified check on his blinder for his challenge. This occasioned another delay in the Australian tour but it went for little as the Empire State Boxing moguls found a chance to claim the title until he had ninety days in which to get his feet firmly planted on the championship ground. He took an impression with Chick's manager, however, that when the time came to consider challenges for the Cannonball, Mr. Suggs would receive favorable conditions. While these negotiations were pending Chick let no moss accumulate and/or his shoes. He kept right on and he did not see Chick done a lot of things that have caused those critics to raise their eyebrows but when he stepped out and won three nights within five days, the against him set up and took more notice that ever.

Previous awards included a bonus of $50 from the Gas Company and an additional award of $50 from the company who was employed by the Gas and Electric Company, has lived here eight years and a d was before coming here, a resident of Dunn, X. Berates Daily Paper The only fly in the ointment of his medal winning said Mr. Cager, when interviewed by an Ace reporter, shouted by an Ace reporter, a reporter for one of the daily papers pictured him as an "ignorant, before-the-war talking uncle Remus." The whole story given by the daily through the eyes of a reporter who by paper war waged a battle with about the intelligent colored men and women, says Cager. "He overheard a few words of conversation between me and any paper war wager, but so painful that funnelled into his idea of the old time "darkey." The reporter found Cager an humble worker, made silent and thoughtful by many years sojourn in a portion of the south where men feel mature to suppress their feelings. Simply Did Duty In speaking of his act of rushing into a gas filled manhole to save a fellow worker, Cager said that the act was a natural one with him. "There was a man in danger of dying, he said, because he trusted us to save did my duty." Mr. Cager is of the plain, rugged, honest stock that puts more stress on the honor of his word, thrift and the square deal, than on wealth. He smokes of the envy that some feel for others who do well, and said that he envied no man his success, but trolled almost a simple way to accomplish things. As a closing remark he said: I've never felt what things since the never came—that I have friends I never had before and enemies too, that I never had before. My words have been all twisted out of meaning. I am responsible for every pipe I lay, I must be sure that no death may be caused in the same way I must choose my words carefully. I shall certainly put this money to good use for myself and family." Though a trite secretive concerning his definite plans for the future, Mr. Cager minded the need to interest in life was his little family composed of a wife and two children. The children, ages 15 and 15 years, attend School 106 and, according to Mr. Cager, are to be held as faithful friends. His family hands can send them "Yes, home life is great, make it the best you can."

Competitive efficiency is the best and most basic foundation for business success, continued Mrs. Malone, and there need be no fear if this is an opportunity to stability. Parents are largely to blame for the lack of stability and responsibility on the part of a large number of the youth, she continued, and urged them as well as teachers to show young men by example the big things worth while Mrs. Malone, who was attractively dressed in a conservative attire of dark blue and correct footwear, was asked what she thought of the tra-modern figure's custom of the heels. "Well they do belly, as you say." She sets as her motto to help all women she can reach.

CLINIC Dr. Greenburg Says Institution Will Cut Down Death Rate URBAN LEAGUE HELPS AGENCY FIND PATIENTS Local Physicians Also Co-operating With Health Department Over 200 persons have been examined at the large clinic at Provident Hospital, according to a report by Dr. Sahler M. Greenburg, a graduate of McGill University, Montreal, Can. Of this number 60 or 70 per cent were active tubercular patients and the remainder pure tubercular patients. Urban League Assists Much of their success in finding patients, who require medical attention, says Dr. Greenberg, is due to the splendid cooperation of the Urban League which has brought to the observation of the clinic several hundred cases in the rural诊察. The observation of ailments and medical authorities will do much to relieve suffering and protect the public health. Doubtful cases are examined by X-Ray at Johns Hopkins. Advanced Cases When asked the probable reason for the delay in securing expert medical advice, thus allowing the disease to make severe arousal, Dr. Greenberg said: "The delay is due largely to improper diagnosis by physicians, and the insidious nature of the disease. It creeps upon the unsuspecting patient with hardly perceptible symptoms; it has no startling signs as have other diseases, and there are no strongly apparent symptoms until it has a strangle hold. "Then too, many are seized with a fit of terror which is replaced by a feeling of utter hopelessness when they find they are tubercular and then they are treated by Dr. Greenburg also said that tuberculosis in its early stage can be curbed and even in an advanced stage can be arrested, enabling the patients to continue longer about their work and with less danger to their health. Patients are examined, cases checked, and treatment prescribed. This is service is fostered by the Maryland Tuberculosis Association. SUPREME LIFE HEADS ON INSPECTION TOUR B. M. Roddy And A. T.

Go on, man; your key don't fit this sizing. Well, honey, if I can't come in, for goodness sake don't let anybody come out." This conversation preceded a little domestic rift that landed William Rodgers, $99 Cathedral street, in the magistrate's court Monday morning after he had forced him to cut out to threads a worth of his wife's hands on the preceding night. According to the wife, Mrs. Lillian Rodgers, $30 Gold street, who swore out the warrant against her mate, during their married life of seven years, she had worked and supported herself and she figured that she could get along without him. So she came around the Saturday night and waked up the her out, she balked at this made him angry. When he threatened to break in she went out the back door to avoid him, and it was when he realized she had given him the slip that he broke in and cut up her three dozen pairs of hose, six hats, a spring suit and a host of indies among the things she ruined. Rodgers was ordered to pay in full for the things at the rate he added, "have him pay it to the police authorities as I do not want any business relations with him." George Butler, white, 917 Woodley street, said it was a blunt instrument that knocked him cuckoo on Saturday night and accused Miss Beatrice Taylor, 449 W. Monument street, of wielding the instrument. But it must have been the kick of bootleg whiskey that turned the trick and tried to establish an alibi. But when her signals got mixed the Magistrate held her under $500 bail. According to Brother Butler, he was angling about in the neighbor's of Mary street. Saturday, when he was accosted by Miss Taylor, who told him she could lead him where he could get real stuff with a kick in it. She led him into an alley, according to his story, and knocked him out with a black jack. She then proceeded to relieve him of the kick. Taylor told her story, which related how that she had never seen the man, but was attending to her sick baby at 1104 Thomas street, and was about to make the Magistrate believe it when police investigating were told by occupants house that she had left there when she was been in the station for several hours. These mixed signals caused the Mag gale Miss Taylor for Grand durction action. Beware of the smouldering flame of love, is an injunction that Miss Adell Parker, 772 School street, will not forget for a long time, and William Carter, 1532 Lesley street, either. It happened that Mrs. Carter given the flame came over by Miss Parker and the two had not met until by mere chance they were both invited to the same party Thursday night. Everything went well until the "old flame" fared to such heat that Carter could stand it no longer and just as his one time swimsie showed up, another sleek, he went into action. When the fight was over Miss Carter had received several wounds and Carter was behind the bars in a police vault. At the hearing he told the magistrate that he simply answered in his heart. The magistrate told him he had another call to answer, and that was for $25 and costs. He did. Miss Emma Nickum, 1319 Presstam street, may have never heard this quotation, that "love can do no wrong," but she put it into practice in the yellow room Friday. In John Burley, same address, had wielded a mean fast during the night, and as a result many ugly bruises and two black eyes adorned the young woman's placing screens of murder were traced to the house where the pair resided. When the rescue officers crashed through the door Miss Emma breathed a sigh of relief and admitted that she was in danger. But during the night while Burley was locked up in the station house cupid began to play a love tune on her heart and slowly her wounds began to heat. Before time for trial she had managed her way to the door, where you last night?" asked the magistrate, casting a "House of Correction" glance toward the prisoner at the bar.

Inefficiency in the administration of Superintendent West continues to crop out at unexpected places. The West administration blamed the Public Improvement Commission for the delay in opening the new colored high school due to defects in the heating plant. Two independent groups investigating the matter placed the blame on Dr. West's administration, which has now to stop ducking and take its medicine. As the AFRO-AMERICAN pointed out several weeks ago even had the heating plant been perfect, the West administration was so slow in ordering equipment that it was not ready for occupancy and is not now ready. Evidently A "Darkey" Bishop Evidently A "Darkey" Bishop "Canned Laughter" is the title of a book just off the press from the pen of Bishop Randall Albert Carter, of Chicago, who signs himself a bishop of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church. The volume is a collection of jokes and anecdotes from the bishop's scrap book compiled because the author noted that "few speakers seemed to have a fund of good stories and anecdotes suitable for all occasions." On page 26 there is the story of a "ragged piccaninny". Then it gets worse on page 58, a story begins with "Several darkies on a street corner," and ends with "Watch that niggah run." There follow a dozen stories where similar epithets are used. Bishop Carter sent us another volume with his compliments at the same time. We did not read it. No, sir, we put it aside until such time as we can forget "Canned Laughter." Changing Victory Hospital Trustees Changing Victory Hospital Trustees The AFRO-AMERICAN is in hearty sympathy with the Urban League's plan to carry on the campaign for a new Victory Hospital. When the League came upon the scene, it found the Victory Trustee Board discouraged and ready to quit. $50,000 in cash and an annual maintenance fund of $20,000 was needed to start the hospital with only some $25,000 in hand. The League has created new interest with its committee of 100 and plans for a city-wide campaign. A hospital, not a failure, seems in the making. We believe, however, that any attempt to change the personnel of the present trustee board will loose cross currents whose effect no one can forsee. These trustees evolved and managed the previous campaign. Through hard work they secured $25,000 in cash and the same amount in pledges. The proposition should be now to help them put it over, not to "fire" them. Worse still would be to keep the present white trustee and ask for the resignation of the colored one. Any of the trustees on the board who desire to remain should be let alone. There is no certainty that their successor will prove either as able or as active. Put the hospital over by all means, but don't tamper with the trustee board "huzz-say."

Mothers' Day, the second Sunday in May, is at hand, and we cannot let this gentle occasion pass without attempting to pay a tribute to the sweetest of God's gifts, Mother. Where is the man who can put his soul on paper that all may gaze? Your editor has not the gift of words to express what is in his heart, but he does know that in the soul of each of us there is a tender longing again to kneel at Mother's side, as you and I did years ago, and, looking into her eyes, say, "Mother, I love you." If you who have your Mother still with you, will do just this simple little act, it will bring tears of joy and pride to many a Mother's eyes grown dim thru years of loving, nursing and denial. Many of us cannot be at home on Mother's Day. Let each of us who is away that day kneel for a few minutes and pray to God in His infinite wisdom to make each of us better and worthier sons and daughters. We whose Mothers have joined the Heavenly Choir have the belief that in spiirt she is always with us, knows our sorrows and our joys. If all of us could go home, and kneeling at her side, say, "Mother, I love you," she would understand all that words fail to say. To describe the love of a child for its Mother, indeed, we must be possessed of the speech of angels. On this day wear a red or white carnation, a simple and mute but beautiful tribute to Mothers. And each of us might do well to pause and consider the words which were breathed from the Cross: "When Jesus therefore saw His Mother, and the Disciple standing by, whom He loved, He saith unto His Mother, Woman, behold this son!" "Then saith He to the Disciple, Behold thy Mother! And from that hour that Disciple took her unto his own home."

Republican Strategy Every now and then, this column receives a letter asking what has become of the program set forth by the Hon. William C. Mathews at the request of the late campaign which swept the Republican party into power. A course in diplomacy, which after graduation leads to LEADERSHIP, is one of the most needed things in our educational system. We hope the day will soon allow schools will inaugurate our course which will train a few young men in the science of group leadership and public opinion and human dynamics.

PROFESSOR FUDGE AMOS HOKUM SAYS Masonic Parade Talk Two men of strong African extraction met on the corner of Whitelock and sang the forthcoming Mascine parade. The conversation lasted say, for possibly an half hour. To begin we asked the other men to parade begin? The other remarked, in East Baltimore with a wave of his hand in that direction, that they are the word of the phase of the parade, as can be remembered it run something like this. "Are you going to be in it?" "No. I can't find my beaver hat, are you?" "Do you think I will take a day to march all over Baltimore?" Not taking a day of you will know there is either a death in my family or I am to violate the eighteenth amendment and break a few commandments." "In other words, your reason for not being in it is because you can't walk well, at least that is one of the many reasons. However, I wouldn't be in it if I had eight days in a week on my hands." As a matter of truth, we are of letting by-gones, by-gones. "What do you mean?" "I mean this; I see no reason why we should bring up things of a past generation. If I was in the line-up with the bearded man, I would be the orchid with red on and a stove-pipe hat. Some of those costs to be worn in the parade were "doing time" in the second-hand store, and I was born in Lincoln was forming his first cabinet." Dr..Lyon In Correct Attire "Well, I can't see why you have to be so tight when better men than you are going to wear their long coats. You're going to minister to Liberia, is going to lead a section in his long coat." "That may be true, but you can bet that you will not stuff. You'll never catch him out leading a parade in any 'second' he will look almost as good as Hamilton Murray would if he was going to be wearing 'em down you will think he is the United States delegate to the League of Nations." "That doubt you, but I will say this. I bet Dr. Lyon won't be able to speak above a whisper after he brings us that distance from East Baltimore up town. But why dwell on that? He will be in the parade, there are a number of them. For instance, I hear that Truly Hutchett, the big Democrat leader, will go out but be in it, but the only reason he is marching is because he is a politician and he has to do that sort of thing." "Maybe he will march in March in the parade." "Oh, I don't know about that, there is Tom Smith, the biggest politician in the country and nobody ever saw him." "Yes he has; Torn has been having every election day for years."

"I mean Rev. Edwards, the pastor of the Baptist Church in Pimlico." "Yes, I know now. Well, to tell you the truth, he has been the big man in Pimlico, at any rate. One thing about him he has good connections. He has his own parades. Every year he parades his congressional meetings on the grounds for his picnic. That is after the racing season is over. If any special permits or anything is needed he will be in the wire and everything is peaches." "But even at that you must concede that all the big men are not going to walk. If you think Joe Evans can do anything, you can do anything walking you got another thought coming." "Well then just how is he going to dominate?" I know, but I imagine he will be in a Rolls Royce, a fiercely charter or something, possibly he will be on a motor cycle." "You think he is, a State policeman? True he was time enough for everybody when he was Grand Master, but he never was a policeman to my knowledge. You can just get away with it, but you can head. You can't tell, he might ride a white horse like Napoleon or George Washington." But there is such a thing as a horse in a jurage, in fact, I hear some swell horses have been ordered for the parade.

In those days they used to call him 'gun-powder.' In fact the boys called the two Jones Brothers gunpowder." "How did they distinguish one from the other? Why, they called Tom 'Big Gun-powder,' and his brother 'Little Gun-powder,' then when the third brother was out of the eighth grade to the high school, they dubbed him 'Buck Shot.'" "Well, I know this, if 'Big Gun-powder' is going to ride a polo pony to the high school, it then he paid to those M's St. pints or he may be paraded to a hospital."

A French Traveller On The Race Problem "SIDE LIGHTS ON THE RACE PROBLEM" is the subtitle of an interesting article in Scribner Magazine of the University of Chicago, the title of Southern Memories. Professor Albert Guerard, author and traveller, gives in a readable way his recollections and impressions of the Southern attitude on the race problem. The treatment is in the lighter vein, but the underlying thesis is fundamental and far reaching. After all may be that it is to lighten the mood, and glamy subject with lighter touches and delectable bits of fine writing. Herein consists the value and advantage of the story form of delicacy as content to the essay, and heavy essay method and style. I am free to confess to a bins for the essay style of writing. It has longer, more varied, and more complex, but for the moment it may fall to attract attention. The more narrative of journalistic mode appeals to the casual reader who wants merely the facts, epitomised, onended and The song and the story are the mode for the day and the hour. I advise you to study the story again a housing to study these attractive forms of portraitay. The public mind today is not in the mood for solid subject, especially on a disjunctible subject. I judge from the internal evidence of the article that Mr. Guerard is of an age with sustained residential experience in the South. His attitude and point of view are as far away from the traditional Southern dogma as they well understand. The South believes or makes believe that race difference is innate, eternal and inescapable. Grant this basic belief and inseparable. Grant that any white man to its gracious bosom. No white man who questions it can expect to bask in the sunshine of its existence. Mr. Guerard has been connected with a Southern institution for eleven years. But his connection with all and any Southern institution is severed forever upon the appearance of this article. Or is it important that any other bias, whether social, political or cultural, from environment and atmosphere? Mr. Guerard replies emphatically that it is a part of the inheritance of blood. Grant Allen at one time wrote an interesting story under the caption: "What's Bred in the Bone. Is it a dog? Is it a human? The way we answer this question will determine the foundation of our social philosophy. If it is in-bred, we can do nothing to obey the dictates of the land. The lion cannot be tamed out of his thirst for blood. If race prejudice is on all fours with our other animal inhabitants in trying to remove or to effectively modify it. If on the other hand, it is the result of social environment, then we may hope to fashion a proactive modification or final removal. Those of my readers whose memory is long enough to recall the reprint of my Grampian book several weeks ago, need not be reminded that the writer is firmly of the basic belief that race hatred is not a natural antipathy but a social condition, a place and circumstances. I called President Harding's hand the moment I read his, Birmingham speech, in which he went over to the Southern University and endurance of race prejudice. Practically every article, or published volume on the race question that has recently raised the press hings upon this one question. Scientists equal erudition are divided in opinion. Science has not yet uttered the final words, and probably can not do so for the rest of the race. South has adopted the cherished dogma of the white man's inmate, everlasting superiority as the basic creed of his social religion, not only to be the belief that he is the belief that he, but is ready to kill the adversary who espouses the opposite contention. It is as unless to discuss this question with the Southerner as it is to argue about modes of baptism with a Baptist. But nothing is true because people believe so, however much the most passionate beliefs of history have been proved the most erroneous. However, let us bear in mind that to the devotee, the error in which he believes, might as well be true so far as justice might be well in be仁, so far as the prevalent attitude and action of the South is concerned for this day and time. If the impunity may as well be guilty, if the jury is fully convinced that he is and renders a verdict accordingly. What difference does it make whether the Spaniards sunk the Maine or not? The jurors driven the Don from the Island, and established a permanent regime on the belief and basis of his guilt. Disfranchisement, jim-crow cars, cars, built up on this basis, and the Negro is the victim of a fallacy which is for the time as effective as if the foundation of it all were true. But there is the fact that long is no one knows how long, the truth will assert itself over error. The time of this long run will be shortened by everlastingly asserting that the supernatural restores. And so we thank Mr. Guerard for the general, but thank insistence that the South is basically wrong in supposing that justice might be well in be仁, so far as the prevalent attitude and action of the South is concerned for this day and time. Southern Dogma Is Prejudice Instinctive? Science Divided On Question South Blindly Unreasonable Page Elever Inferiority Complex Governs: South The facts and arguments which Mr. Gierard cities and recites are so common place and familiar that they are used widely in the classroom. White and Negro children play together on terms of perfect childhood equality until parental authority forbids further such association. The Negro servant moves and mingles with the white servant in a contract with the white members of the family so long as the relation of superior and inferior is asserted and accepted, but when the relationship is independent status, then, and not until then, does the so-called natural antipathy begin to assert itself. These forms of relationship andresentations are precisely duplicated in the classroom and servant among the white race. The Romance Of Amalgamation I recall several years ago I visited a far western city, and was called upon by the principal of the high school where I was studying. There were about-twelve hundred pupils in the school with only a dozen colored ears set in that assembly under the sound of my voice the granddaughter of one of the predeest names in all of the annals of Southern history, and the author of the first book of the former slave of the proud grandfather just described. Despite the inexorable exactions of Southern situations which are romantic situations which sound stranger than ordinary fiction. The author claims that there is no reason to believe that this person, the Frenchman and the Anglo-Saxon on the issue of race except such as the differentiated circumstances bring about this impression by the sheer logic of his position. Prejudice Same North And South According to this theory of interpretation, Mississippi and Massachusetts except for the different distribution of the Negro element in the two States. From all that I have seen and experienced, I believe this diagnosis, to correct. There is nothing in the psychology of the Northerner that makes him one of the most likely to live his Southern white brother beyond the relativity of numbers. And why should we expect there to be another difference in the races of the judices and discriminations of observation rest upon an environmental basis? The author has hone of the ultimate solution of the race problem, since according to his philosophy it is not insubstantial that the account of his will will do much, to bring this to pass. Prejudice On Increase Those who take a superficial view of race relations are becoming pessimistic against the Negro, is running strongly against the increase and is spreading as the race advances in the scale of knowledge, possession and responsibility. The increase and the spreading of cars, lynching and the Ku Klux Klan seem to be convincing evidences that there can be no scheme of racial discrimination and brotherhood. But may we not take a broader and more comprehensive range of vision. We can indication that the forces of race arrogance is making a desperate stand to perpetuate itself just as all arrogant regimes endorse and support the barriers are being raised indicators quite strongly that those who build them are not quite certain of the validity of the barriers they do the work which their preconceived theory requires. They know what a fallacious theory cannot endure forever and are making this last deter The devils believe and tremble. They fear the ultimate triumph of democracy and Christianity which run afoul of their predecessors' themes of true relationship. Those of us who believe in the unity of the human race will have to endure many things which have previously been the case and time, in order to promote the far away time when man to man shall brothers be, for a 'a that and a 'a that.

Suppose Mildred does go to school and plays with children without being told, she may be a very disagreeable, little fish. So she beware of holding Mildred up to your little Mary as an ideal, for Mary knows about Mildred's faults, all comes from her mother about Betty, that if an ideal is set up it should be followed in all points she there never makes a perfect idea, and way you want your child to be like him in every reverence. The only safe way, then, is to comment favorably on the good traits your own child possesses, and by thus stressing him to develop other good ones, not because some playmate has these traits, but because his film is desirable. And, whenever you are tempted to set up "shining examples" before your children, remember your sayings, "Comparisons are obvious."

"Frank wouldn't sit down in the dirt with his best clothes on," is the way Clifford is reprimanded for his carelessness. "Frank doesn't take such big bites of food," is offered as an incentive toward good table manners. The truth is that Frank is naturally disposed to be neat. His temperament is entirely unlike Clifford's and it isn't an effort for him to be clean and polite. Clifford has many good wholesome qualities, but he is husky and decidedly boylike, an altogether different makeup. But these things are not taken into consideration by his mother. There is just one reason why a child should be asked or expected to act in conduct, and that is because such a course of action is more likely to be performed by other child does thus and so. If you are going to set up an ideal child to be in a life that is infiltrible, He will not reach this perfection, of course, as no human being is infiltrated by striving for. He should be inspired from an inward consciousness of right not directed to act like some other child.

Here the no sweater death. Intoxication dead. To die while drinking is only to slip from sleep to death. No anguish, no suffering. It is a downing, steady crush. It falls into shadow. No thought, no resistance. What a delight! And then—nothing more, nothing more. You go to the rest somewhere in the country of N'Gakourun, unless you go to the country of Kolkong-kou. No mosquitoes, no fog, no cold, no work. No taxes to pay or sandoukous to ing. Ill-treatment, baths, hammers, hats, hings? Nini! Matat! Absolute serenity, endless peace. No bother, no desires. Everything in abundance, and for nothing—women, women, the poor dear blacks had only one refuge left, death. Death stone delivered them from bondage. Happiness was no where to be found. The distant regions from which the whites were formerly excluded. For eight days and eight sleeps women mourners and chanters gathered in the family, which was lished to a tree, had sent up their lamentations. In sign of mourning they had dusted their hair with ashes and blackened their foreheads. They cared for crushed and danced, tore their breasts and limbs. The others present mumbled the funeral songs. Baba (father), thou alone art hard to happy. We, who mourn thee, We have need of pity. Ah, but for the sake of custom, he has been no life in their weared monotone! After all a dead man was not interesting What was that to expect of 'im? Being beyond recall he had been to the community. He was as untested to the tribe as a dried leaf or a gnawed bone. Only custom and older demands, the rhythm of doleful songs, should accompany him who traversed invisible paths to the village of N'Gakoura or Kolkongbo, which was so remote than no one who went there ever returned. He was dead, he surely was, the father of Bataoua. No doubt of it. After a week's exposure, and seeing that swarms of big green vultures decaying body, it was high time to "plant" him in the ground. Baba, thoulone are happy. We, who mourn thee, We have need of pity. Besides, the chase was in ful swing. Every evening the dense smoke that mounted from the whole horizon straight up to the sky and morning mornings to follow. Every evening when the tom-toms sounded, the breeze brought the flying bits of burnt vegetation and the fragrance of planted plants. It was the season that invited to the bearing for game. Custom having been duly observed, the bothersome corpse had better be moved to the ground as quickly as possible. Custom! Nowadays very little heed was paid to custom. The young people and all, generally speaking, arrived away from custom in ridicule. Out of ignorance youth was wilfully mocking. It seered at old men and their oldism. It made no effort to understand. It laughed was as good as a reason. But custom was the entire experience of the elders, and the elders of the elders. Into it they piled all the known as rubber it filled up with. So it was not for nothing that custom required a full wee's exposure. That week of exposure, which the whites considered silly, was justified on two good accounts. For one thing it gave the entire family time to do what they wanted. Mr. Mibs departed, one after another, without cease—like all the Negroes for that matter. And Mib was here to-day, gone to-morrow. The day after, Mr. Mibs rumbled in the undergrowth, one, rolled from lake to lake, from village to village bringing each and everyone the fatal news, whom the summons was meant, hurried to go where it was his duty to go. It was one of the reasons, in fact the main reason, for the long exposure of the bodies of the dead. There was another reason. The elders of the olders had observed to the dead be dead to dead; come back to life. From which the elders had deduced that one could sleep for several days as the dead Now care to say that long exposure of the bodies of the dead was wrong. The body of one who had actually departed for the distant country die, decay, die. Its very stench spoke, in place of the language of the living, and told of its desire to be buried. Such were the thoughts of Bataoula. In a low voice he confided to Bissinbingui. He stood beside side by side at the funeral ceremony. They had become reconciled the morning after the festival of the gainzaas and seemed to be as close friends as ever. Bissinbingui's voluptuousness and Bataoula's violence were engaged to the account of intoxication. A Story of the French Congo which won the Grand Prix for best Novel in 1922 Baba, thou alone art happy. We, who mourn thee, We, who love thee, A white man saw red the moment something angered him. Bandas or Mandjias, Sangos or Gourhous proceeded sufficiently to be eaten hot, food to be eaten hot, hate well might be concealed under a guise of affection; friendliness being the ashes that were spread the fire of hate to keep considering.

You had him to the ground. You choked him to death. Then with a jagged knife, or a sharp stone, or your nails, you silt on the veins of his neck, as a panther did, you tore limb from limb, as the panther did. Such were Batouala's reflections. Bissiginguil reasoned pretty much the same way Aha! What a womann was the womann of an old enemy! A child was playing with that strange lizard, the kollingo. Everybody knew that the kollingo, acclimated, turned black, green, yellow, or red. But did Djouma the little yellow dog with pointed ears—lid he know was why he barked himself houses at the kollingo, while that skeleton of a Kusseyende, gone crazy from being like the fool he was, the wailing of the mourners, the cries of the child playing with the kollingo, the barking of the women chanting of the women chanters. Batoula made a sign and rose. Captive shales held the slight body on used while alive. The dull roll of the linghas mingled with the walling chant of the mourners. We shall take you now, of the R-poems. No need for more. After the final preparations had been made, they went to the spot where they were going to "plant" the remains of him who had been taken. The place selected was a little away from the last he had lived in. Two round pits in the ground connected by a subterranean gallery. That the grave was. When she saw the one pit, the corpse was "down" the other. The shave, from the underground gallery, pulled the legs of him whose spirit was traveling to the country of Kolkongbo until straightened out in the gallery. The pit to which his lega reached filled with wood, then with earth. He felt nothing of this strange damp weight. He silent. Wood was wound in his massive of massive head.

IF TRUE LOVE EXISTS Marriage "Both life and love are what you make in marriage," was the optimistic view of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Newton, Newton, 1406 Myrtle Street, who celebrated the 30th wedding anniversary here recently. Both Mr. and Mrs. Newton, who will show the soothing effects of a happy and optimistic life, were born in Baskerville and can trace their ancestry back a cen- ture and a half. Raised Large Family On this union seventeen children were born, eight of whom are living-one in California, two in New York and five here. The oldest son, Robert, was born in the Dauphin, the Cavalier, in 1911 in the Philippines, and rose to the distinguished rank of captain in the American Confabulary in Liberia under 'Colonel Charles Young, the captain in the service Liberia. They have twenty-grown children. The Newtons are proud of their here family and were never absorbed in the family jokes of their neighbors who laughingly referred to the home as "Newton's Boarding Former Coachman Mr. Newton is a former president of the Coachman's Association, although he made it his career to be at the highest levels in the employment of for these families. I believe in both education and work. Mr. Newton said Mr. Newton. They had to either go to school and finish courses or get out and work. I would not stand for idleness or writing around. I would stand for my family. Here Mr. Newton was interrupted to sagely remark that with such a magnitude of little heads one could easily understand why. Say Times Have Changed Both Mr. and Mrs. Newton are members of Metropolitan M. K. Church, also having belonged for many years to the church. He has been governed on strictly Christian principles. They both express amazement at the wild rush and constrain "goldaling at all times." He does like a totally different world," decorated Mrs. Newton. "I never thought of being in public places and running around—I such right and a mother. I never ate in a restaurant, kept my children out of public places, and Newton ninetimes when we married. We took it seriously and pulled together. He always knew where we met—at home. He never knew what it was to converse with me, and how I appreciated it. We have led a calm, nurtured life." When asked whether he advocated that it depends on several things, but generally, it is a good thing—however, they must remember to think for each other and "pull to each other." As she concluded, Mr. Newton said with gentle dignity, "I prayed God to allow me to enjoy life long enough to celebrate our 50 years together and he has so kindly granted my request. No more time. God has wonderfully blessed me. We heartily agree that he has."

He was taken to the Polyclin Hospital and treated for gun and shot wounds. At the hearing the next morning before Magistrate Scott in the 15th District Police Station the men were held without ball for court.

N. P. Fourteen Enworth League and Sunday School Institutes will be held in various section of the country this summer under the supervision of Dr. F. H. Butler, of the Enworth League Department of the Board of the Methodist Episcopal Church. These institutes will have standardized courses in religious education to help better train leaders both lay and ministerial engaged in religious activities. Of the institutes will be held at the various colleges, of the Board of Education, Dr. Butler says: "The young trained Negro is becoming a major part of church work. Last year over twenty thousand these institutes. Two hundred attended these institutes. Over six hundred had high school training. On the faculties were graduates of many of our great universities. When our mission is understood they serve unwilling students and we have yet to have one decline." While these Institutes are under the auspices of our churches our institutions are welcome. It is capturing the interest of our college youth in the higher and more altruistic vocations. As this institution has received many financial remergements from other occupations. We emphasize the need of a trained ministerial and lay leadership. The one who comes to the church when it comes to advance some of our laymen are out running some of our ministers andive aera. They should advance to meet and cooperation needed for real progress. We cannot feel otherwise than we have graduated over two hundred from our three year course and they have gone out to do larger things in the line of service activity. Quite a number of our group will graduate this year. At Morgan College last August, we registered the largest number of our group to become a licensed school of religious education in the modern church program.

The raw scholarship of the new "ish" as he called it, was wounding brass to the school. The Negro of Negro preacher sent out by the schools drew back from this man. They branded him as an an- achronism, and felt that his pres- sion and an religion and an offense to the ministry; and yet not one of them ever attained the celebrity or achieved the results which came to this un- grandement son of Africa.

He heard that there was a marvel of man who was a member of the portion of Richmond, Va.—and one Sunday afternoon in company with a Scotch-Irishman, who was a scholar and a critic with a strong interest in the discipline, he went to hear him preach.

Jasper Talks "They tried to make it appear", said Jasper, in the last lecture, we had to tell him that John Jasper was a fool and a liar when he said that the sun moved. He said that the sun moved. I did not believe that the so-called scientists were in earnest. "I did not think that there was any man in the world fool enough to believe that the sun did not move. But when I found that these scientists were in earnest I took down my old Bible and proved that, and not John Jasper, were the fools of the world in their victions, a man with a purpose in life, a man who earnestly desired to save souls for heaven. He called with faithfulness, with a determination, as far as he could, to make the ways of his God known to men. His saving health among all nations. And the Lord poured upon him.

Interest in this initial service was undoubtedly great, and by that had been atfoat during the week previous. One of these rumors had it that the pastoristor would take out some $80 of Bethel's members in forming a new and independent congregation, as a result of his failure to obtain the pastoristor. Bethel, although this could not be done under ten law of his church, except in the case of some great emergency and with the approval of the older Bishops than the one presiding. But although, a number of the former pastor's close adherents of his friends were present at their posts of duty giving no evidence of any intention of getting the church had labored so hard to make great. LOVE Dr. Steptheau preached from the 4th chapter of St. John, having as his theme "commanded the most marked attention of his hearers as he depicted the manifold ways in which the love of God has given His life." His concluding remarks were a challenge to the membership to live up to their highest set possibilities and a pledge on his part to serve them as God direct. Morning Offering The morning offering was nearly $250, which was quickly taken by the large corps of efficient ushers. The pastie held the ceremony and themselves with the church. The service concluded with the sacrament of the Lord's supper. At the evening service another large crowd was present, notwithstanding the very inclement weather. The officials warmly welcomed the Rev. Mr. Steptheau and pledged him their heartiest cooperation.

The book took a stone and set it between Miphep and Shen and called the name of it Ebenoster, saying, Hitherto hath the Lord helped us."1 Among one of the best things the prophet Samuel did for God was to make this memorial stone as a landmark of God's dealing with Hib chosen people. The stone may seem an insignificant thing, but it was God's chosen people as the St. John's Cathedral in New York is to the Ambassador of that pupil and to the hearers who sit in that beautiful adored edifice Hib chosen people. Forty-four years ago, when the Rev. Dr. Charles Hedges led 76 persons composing his flock into this edifice after drifting here and there seeking a shelter in which to worship God, he found no beautiful stone front and electric lights but raised here their Ebenezer. He then moved to the church where he gave members did on that same Sunday morning in May 1881. Truly, the six left can say, "Hitherto, the lord, the Lord helped us." Every church or life has its landmark. Although we may raise no monument commemorate it, it is there just the same. There should be encouragement to us today as we look back over the 44 years here in this our Ebenezer. This church has had its many struggles to exist. It seemed at times her future had come to an end. There were times when her spiritual life seemed dead. But looking back on the sacrifice of some of the sainted members and refreshing their memories how God had helped them, they relied on God and waged forever again. Then there is a good place from which to look forward this morning. As God has helped, go. He will help. There is not much use of looking back or looking up, if we are not prepared to look forward, this morning for we cannot succeed on what the church has decided to do.

NEGRO JOURNALISM IMPRESSES WHITE BUSINESS WORLD White Business Men Waking Up To Power Of Negro Journals Now Realize Value Of Race Journals As Advertising Mediums Page Eighteen NEGRO White Busin Waking U Of Neg Now Realize Value Advertising By Henry F. Arnold Certain groups of white people in this country are noting with increasing concern the growth of black women in the Negro Press and its part in developing race psychology are two of the fundamental reasons why it is causing so much discussion at present. Charge to the Negro Press. The constant playing-up in our society which we await the intelligent young colored men and women is said to be responsible for the servant problem. The actual columns of the colored papers have made an indelible impression upon the minds of the Negro Press, and the attention to the fact that the struggle is not between white and black but is based upon preparation. Recently, a young colored woman in Chicago won high honors with a paper on "High Finance." There were over 500 white competitors. Some of them praised the Negro knew nothing of finance were started by her success. The colored newspapers paid the young woman The influence that the Negro Press with the races is not looked upon disparingly by white America. The sound of the Negro Press with luring his farm hands from the fields to big industrial cities. Negro periodicals have in some cases been actually the North, on the other hand, has just begun to realize the power of the Negro Press. The educational policy of the Negro Press is said to domesticate servants. Some Things Overlooked The colored man is now haunching out into all kinds of businesses and is now employing a large group of his own people.

Be Depended Upon to Develop Vast Resources "White employment in South Africa is decreasing," says William Hill. editor of William Hill Times, according to Mr. Hill, the British population is becoming smaller while immigrants from other nations are increasing. The cost of living is on the increase and the ability of the man of family to save money on transportation is clear. Africa is losing capital because of the withdrawals of its producers. Immigration is not discouraged but it is dangerous to those who have been putting South Africa on a firm economic foundation. It is clear that the Government must be big, but badly, big immigration, see that the immigrants will be producers—agricultural, mechanical or mineral; throw open the wristie places of the hand; bring up of the country by protection and institute a policy which will mean that every South African child shall have a place in his own assured and prosperous future. White employment is reported to be decreasing, with a month's average of employment 1923 in all South African mines. In 2014, the month it had been reduced to 29,943 Maryland Wants Tobacco Growers Baltimore. Md.—A movement has been started to bring more people into the business, in the purpose of raising tobacco, which not produced in sufficient quantities to attract big dealers, although the state is usually fine for cigarettes. The big buyers generally buy their entire stock in one lump from a certain section, and unless an area developer, it has little chance of getting this business. A recent time there are about 6,200 colored farmers in the State. more than one half of whom are owners; and it is believed that more than half of them would specialize in farm properties, more colored farmers could be induced to purchase farms in the colony. The community for success is assured. Maryland colored farmers now own property valued at nearly eight million dollars, most of them are to tobacco growers. Financiers Meet At Durham Durham, N.

This is perhaps the biggest dividend declared by a local race concern this year. A meeting will be held at an early date to hold the annual election of officers and the executive board. To Widen Activities In making his annual report President Smith, D.C., stated that while the general policy of the organization in the past has been conservative and they have gone cautiously, it was evident that a more active policy of expansion was needed. Larger headquarters, a more modern program of stimulating colored buildings in touch with the colored trade were among the improvements mentioned. Enforcement was made that the increase in value of the assets of the Exchange had made it necessary for the Board to increase the price of the securities of the stock.

Labor conditions have begun to show a gradual improvement throughout the country, but a real demand for labor is rather spotty. It will be a month of six weeks before pick up sufficiently to encourage further migration. The government reports that farm workers in sections of the country with the promise of a great demand for this summer and fall. The economy is still in a slump and will not likely make much improvement in this spring and summer. Packing houses are taking on a few men as is usual in the spring and in summer. The larger cities are to be avoided as they are all filled with a surplus of common and semi-skilled labor. Children, farm workers, and detroit, are cities where it is best to keep away from for the present. Also Cleveland, Ohio. Building trades are showing a great improvement in the number of larger cities are having a brisk demand for building tradesmen. However, get information first and be sure to demand where you wish to go. To Widen Activities Ralph Matthews THE MASONIC PARADE Last Monday a gang of highbrows donned frock coats and high hats and dusted along the thoroughfare to give the natuer a treat. Judging from the number in the line of march and the congregation there wasnt much work done that day. A brass band with enough loafers to follow it can tie the works of a whole municipality and reduce that city's gross output 50 per cent. Some inhabitants of this hunk of cement and steel would rather deck it with gold braid and plaque than fall heir to the U. S. mint. Dress some guys in a uniform and give them a sword and they will march as long as shoeleafer holds up the papers when their brains out.

It makes no difference whether a man is an ELK, a Moose, an Owl, or a Skunk; he is generally more important than the man it comes to doing the marketing. Teach some birds a bunch of counter-signs and a few mystic handshakes and they will feel more important than the Prince of Wales on corporation day. The president of a lodge is considered the most important but the most important watchful attention. If the president disappeared the vice attends to his duties, but if the treasurer skips the police do their duty. Lodges and good stimulants for the brain. A block who can't remember about five or six hundred of his twins, or the size of his collar finds it an easy matter to memorize about five or six hundred not to mention as many passwords.

It's the horse to be handled." "Don't you think his pony will make the other horses look hum." the other horses look at me and say some that I do. From what I can gather some of the noblest steeds that ever ate out of a bag are going to be in the process of being born. And there have been some late arrivals among the quad- rupeds the horses will make a better showing than the men." The Grand Master "What about the Grand Master: is he going to ride one of those polo ponies or is he going to get in line in a big car? Will he think he will do either. You know Wilford Allen is a very mild sort of a man and possibly he will lead the parade in a stage coach with four horses drawing it. But any way you take it, the bows are going to right equipment in horses and auto." "It must cost a lot of money to put these things over, doesn't it? It does. It not only costs money but it makes some people lose money." "How is that?" "Well, while this parade is going on not a skilllet will move in Guilford. Well, good-bye, see you Sunday at Bethel Church. Let's go down there to disturb the peace for the next few years. So long!" Head Out The Window All the while the two parties were conversing on the corner, a Hebrew book out of the window, just like she was colored. Instead of going downstairs to cook dinner before her, she tricked several of her into her hand bag for her fellow, the lady insisted on trying to hear the conversation on the other side of the window. She took ear for collecting remarks intended for somebody else, the distance was a mile. She could not make out a single word. However, she remembered when the men first met, one pointed across to a window. As a matter of course, she simply telling his friend where the parade was going to start. She felt that the house next door that house next door.

Seven sad months with all their changes. Since death strangely bade us part, But dear Arthur, at these times, Cannot I bear our hearts. Sir, by friends we are lonesome, In the midst of a crowd we are blue; Years that come cannot sever Our loving remembrances of you. MOTHER AND FATHER, M. AND MISTER DOUGLASS, AQUA- COB, MD O, how hard I prayed to save him, Prayers and tears were all in vain: Happy angels cane and took him From this world to tell and pain. His cheery smile and kindly ways Are pleasing to recall: He had a smile for everyone And died beloved by all. No one knows my longing, No one sees me weep, Did my team from an aching heart And miss you more and more each day.

Peace be thy rest, dear brother, 'Tis sweet to breathe thy name; In life you were loved most dearly, In death 'tis just the same. But sad and sudden was the call, Your sunded death could us all; Always not speak to us, Nor Could you say good by. Loved in life, in death remembered.

This is due in part to a well-organized and connected effort on the behalf of many Virginied led by Maj. E. S. Cox and John Powell to preserve the racial integrity of the white group. Since Merris, Cox and Powell began their propaganda, many of their colleagues joined them. The News Leader and the Times Dispatch have supported the idea from the beginning. Now comes the editor of the Newport News Daily Press. He says in part as follows: "Steps were taken to fairly Friday at Anglo-Saxon Club as part of the State organization. As has been more than once stated, this organization is not unfriendly to the Negro race. "A part of its creed is, I believe, in the supremacy of the white race in the United States, and prejudices or hatreds. But the men who are heading the movement are profoundly impressed with the necessity of taking every SOLD GIRL WHEN HER LOVER FOUND HURT Alleged to Have Used Hatchet in Attack on Sweetheart Lillian Thomas, 221 Arlington avenue, is being held at the Southwestern Police Station of an attack made inside Lennox Jones of the same address at which time she is alleged to have used a hatchet in her attack. The man was found in his home in an unconscious condition with several deep lacerations of an upper and lying in a pool of blood. He was removed to the Franklin Square Hospital where he was found to be suffering from a broken jawbone and a possible fracture of the skull. An examination also revealed several wounds of the legs and hips. The girl was committed without a hearing to await the outcome of Jones' wounds. He was reported in a serious condition by the hospital authorities. The cause of the altercation is as yet unknown. ROBBER STAGES BOLD DAY LIGHT HOLD UP With people coming and going in all directions, James H. Chapman, 1125 Pennan. Avenue, was held up and robbed in broad day-light Sunday. According to the story told by Chapman in the Northwestern Monday morning, he had $18 in his pocket when he went in a store near Lombard street and purchased a cigar. A man standing near followed him from the store for a short distance and requested the loan of 15 cents which was refused by Bradley and Tessier streets, the man struck him back of the head and forcibly took his pocketbook containing $17. Residents seeing the holdup gave chase and traced the man to $24 Bradley street, when on the arrival of the police he was found in bed at the above address. He gave his hand in denied connection with the affair. He was identified by Chapman and several witnesses as the man who had attacked him and was held under $2,500 bill.

The editor is of the opinion—and he is correct in this regard—that race mixing is not the races are permitted to mix at racial or educational functions. Two Problems It seems to me in considering a question of the nature of race mixing two problems are to be studied: First, can race mixing be prevented and second, it harms the writer to the effect of Negroes. Unlike many writers I study this question from the viewpoint of science. It does not matter a picayune with me whether future Americans be white, black or mulatto, but it does matter whether they be physically fit, courageous and ambitious. —The end.

In Correct Style To be correct Dixon wore a dark shade ensemble suit of conservative taste, a chic little hat of black sunnies, sitting at a flirtatious angle, suede pumps with glove silk hose. He was still blushing when ushered from his cell and responded to the "Amazed inquiry of the Magistrate in highly pitched notes."

An amazing series of robberies perpetrated by a youthful band of four pretty girls ranging in ages from 14 to 17 years has been revealed by officers of the Northwestern Police Station. A long trail from pawn shop operation, and in which police worked on the theory that an experienced band of burglars were operating here, finally led to the home of one of the girls, who confessed and implicated her pals. Those arrested were Miss Grace Smith, 14, and Miss Martha Smith, 14, 640 Mosher street; Donothy Byrd, 17, 229 Etting street, and Matilda Campbell, 1103 Mosher street. Get Much Loot So well were the robberies planned that the girls had gotten foot said to be valued at $1,100. They confessed to having organized their operations, timing the going and coming of occupants of homes, timing the presence of firefighters, and timing back fences and Jimmying windows. At the hearing the girls said that Frank Barksdale had been 'in the game' and had acted as fence and helped them dispose of the goods. He is being held. Homes admitted to have been entered by the girls included 2302 Etting street, occupied by Charles Wilson, 2323 Madison avenue, occupied by James McLoughlin street, occupied by Mrs. Leslie Craxton; the apartment of Mrs. Mary Rodman, 2323 Madison avenue, and the home of Mike Mendes, white, 1404 McCulloh street.

Call for Service MAdison 0443 MANY PUPILS ABSENT IN COUNTY SCHOOLS MANY PUPILS ABSENT IN COUNTY SCHOOLS Annual Report Shows Poor Daily Attendance In Many Counties A report from the office of the State Superintendent of Schools shows that in over one-half of the counties of Maryland one out of every five elementary pupils is absent each day. Anne Arundel, Carroll and Charles counties had one out of four absent daily. In St. Mary's and Carvert counties one out of three was absent daily. Teachers say it is difficult to obtain good results with such irregular attendance. Many Causes Cited In assigning reasons for the high absentee rate teachers gave the following causes in order: 1—Death, sickness, physical and mental defects. 2—Poverty, indifference, neglect. 3—Weather and road conditions. There were 9,918 pupils who were absent 40 days, or more, during the term. The average percentage of absences for colored high schools; 21.8 per cent for colored elementary schools as compared with 7.7 per cent for white high schools and 14.5 for white elementary schools. Term Begins in October The term for schools in Kent, Queen Anne's, St. Mary's and Talbot counties did not begin until October. The only county schools open in June were those of Allegheny, Allegheny, and Allegheny counties. The high school enrollment declined after November and fell steadily toward the end of the term. Attendance Increases in the counties was 15. Frederick held the lead with 126. The increase in Baltimore City was 731. The Average attendance in Annapolis county was 1,891; in Prince George's county, 1,309; in Allegheny, 233; Washington, 277; Frederick, 902; Montgomery, 1,290; Wicoon, 1,298; Carroll, 288; Harford, 6,110; Ochester, 1,356; Somerset, 6,101; Coventry, 1,356; Coventry, 6,101; Coel, 554; Talbot, 1,051; Queen Anne, 661; Howard, 529; Charles, 1,036; Kent, 758; St. Mary's, 795; Calvert, 663. The total county average attendance was 20,888, for Baltimore, 14,193, for the entire State, 35,081. **Average White** The total average white attendance for the city of Baltimore was 13.347. The major cause of late attendance was said to be employment, the next cause given was negligence. Day schools were open in the county for white pupils an average 183 days, for colored pupils 163 days. Colored schools gained 2.5 days over the previous year. The schools in Baltimore city were open 183 days for both white and colored. Elementary schools in the nine counties total the number of days required by law, 160. In every county except Caroline, some of the schools were open full time. The cause of some of these failures to remain open the full number of days was the failure of the teachers to keep their contracts.
