Alumni Head Replies That Heckler "Has Face Only Mother Can Love"
RESOLUTIONS DEMAND DURKEE RESIGNATION
Resignations Of Emory Smith And Jesse M. Moorland Also Asked
Washington, D. C.—Resolutions demanding the resignation or dismissal of J. Stanley Durkee, president of Howard University, were adopted at a mass meeting held in the New Bethel Baptist Church, corner of Ninth and S streets, northwest, last Thursday night, under the auspices of the Howard Welfare League.
The principal speaker was the Rev. George Frazier Miller, of Brooklyn, N. Y., president of the General Alumni Association, whom the Durkee forces are charged seeking to dissecute members of Congress, as a radical and a pacifist during the World war.
Defends War Record
More personal comparison of himself with history B. Smith, and employee of the university under the designation of "Alumni Secretary," the Rev. Miller defended his course during the war Mr. Smith had charged in the public press that the Rev. Miller is not representative of the better class of colored people. Rev. Miller admitted to the war or support it in any way. In defense of his position, he declared that it was not a righteous war; that it was not intended to make the world safe for democracy, but that "America went to war to secure her foreign loans, to serve capitalistic principles and to exploit foreign peoples." He said that "loyalty involves reciprocal service, and sacrifice for benefits and benefits for sacrifice for security. My country must do justice by me. I said that during the war, I say it now and will say it always."
Not Always Thus
He said that Emory Smith has not always thought as he does now of him. He told of his coming and making overtures to him upon his visit to the Smith family association. Mr. Smith, who was standing in the rear of the church, attempted to interrupt. Quoted by Mr. mith about his life, he said: "I was told that Mr. Smith "had the kind of face that only a mother could love."
"Now, when these administration forces come to the conclusion that I am not capturable, that I am not

ARRESTS DENTIST AND COMPANION WHOM HE THOT TO BE "WHITE"
Charges will be filed with police Commissioner Galither this week on Dr. James A. White, dentist, 848 Harlem avenue, against Policeman Frank Plecha, white, alleging abusive and insulting remarks and general conduct unbecoming Dr. an officer, White, who is one of the most prominent and successful dentists in the city, he was taking a number of guests to their homes in his car late Monday night when he was halted by Officer Plecha on Madison avenue, near Dolphin street.
The officer, he said, jumped on theunning board of his car, put his flash light in the face of Miss Myrtle Phillips, of Philadelphia, and insolently wanted to know if she were "white."
The dentist said he protested so strongly against the unwarranted intrusion of the officer that he was arrested and carried to the Northwestern police station and held under arrest.
The next morning he had been guilty of no infraction of the law, but he failed to provide himself with a lawyer and was fined $5 and costs

on the technical charge of disorderly conduct.
Officer Eicha admitted, he said, that the doctor had not acted because he thought the doctor's companion was white, and Magistrate Rolholek declared that policemen had a perfect right to see auto-mobiles were white or colored.
As soon as the case against Dr. White became generally known, indignation was aroused in the entire Northwestern section. He secured the胜利 of Attorney General David who filed the charges against the officer, with Commissioner Gaither. Reports against the unpoliceman-like conduct of officers in the Northwestern District have been growing steadily worse. General opinion is that it is the first administered district in the city. Officer Picha is said to have been the same officer who was transferred from Pennsylvania avenue after complaints of the residents being involved in an indictment have played some part in the reason for the transfer.

COOKED FOR 27, WIFE OF OIL PRINCE QUIT
Mrs. Luther Tucker Fights Divorce And Wants Share Of $200,000 HAD HOPED TO BE HAPPY, SHE DECLARES
Romance Of Childhood
Sweethearts And School
Mates On Rocks
Taft, Okla.—"I am not a gold digger, I had only hoped to be happy with the one I thought loved me."
So spoke Mrs. Isahella McKinney Tucker, wife of Luther Tucker, rich oil well owner who is suing her for divorce.
The couple were married at Little Rock, June 26, 1924. Their honeymoon was spent at Daley Row's ranch near well, where Isahelle was initiated into the mysteries of preparing food for harvest hands.
Then She Rebellied
But the young bride rebelled under cruel treatment from her stepmother, Daisy Rowe, and the couple moved to Tulsa, where Luther embarked on a wild career with wild women, she says. He wore big clothes and wore "wild women," says Isabelle. On one occasion he ran up to me and demanded $1. When I gave it to him, he ran across the street and gave it to a wild woman.
"He even went so far as to encourage his vagabond friends to make love to me."
Left Her On Street
After a few weeks of fast Tulsa life, Luther brought his bride to Muskogee on September 6th, left her on a street corner and said he would be back in a few minutes.
But I waited for hours and he rearranged, says Isabelle. "Finally about nightfall I got a cabman to take me to my stepfather's home in Tatt. There I stayed and worked in the cottonfields, though I wasn't really physically able because of my association with Luther.
The rich freedman says she intends to teach this fall, as she is well educated, though fril in body. The Tuckers were childhood sweethearts and school mates. Their friends thought it was a real runaway love match when they were married. Then, according to Mrs. Tucker, a sudden encounter led the petition for divorce December 8, 1924, just six months after he married. It was served to her on Christmas eve day, as a Christmas present.
Tucker became of age the other day and to prevent the court from appointing a white guardian, he protected his colored attorneys. He is thought to be in Chicago.
In filing a counter suit to the divorce, Mrs. Tucker is asking for $100,000 for her part of the estate. The court allows him to pay $75 monthly temporary alimony. It has also issued an order restraining Tucker or his trustees from transferring any of the property. The divorce case will come up in the September term of court.

By J. A. Rogers
Author of "From Superman to Man"
London; England (By Mail)—One of the many things I had decided to find out on my trip to Europe is the lot of the white working people as compared with that of the Negro in America.
At first glance I am prepared to say that the lot of even the humbler Negro is better than that of many in more genteel occupations here, so far as wages and the cost of living is concerned. The more I see, the firmer grows the conviction that were it not for color prejudice the United States would be a black man's paradise. At present, it is that of the white man. The United States, with its enormous resource right, has, comparatively speaking, no poor people as compaired with these older habitats of the white race.
Wages in London, so far as I have found out, are from a half to a third of what they are in America, particularly in the matter of so-called labor pay. I have heard that dozens of the laboring whites and I find that they get about from seven and a half to ten dollars a week.
A recent labor report said that more than 50,000 railwaymen are getting less than $12.50 a week. A railroad commissioner has continued on Foot, Eighteenth.

Lt. Urban Bass, M. D., With 372nd Fell Rendering First Aid
Raleigh, N. C.—Notification of the posthumous award of the Distinguished Service Cross to Lieutenant Urbane F. Bass, Medical Corps, 372nd Regiment, 93rd Division of the A. E. F. was received by relatives of the deceased in Raleigh last week.

Both legs were shot away at the hip by an exploding shell. He died on the way to a hospital. Later his body was returned to Raleigh for burial, and was interred in the family lot here.
The recipient of the award studied medicine at Shaw University here, and was practicing his profession in Fredrik ericksburg, Va., after he enlisted. He married Miss Maudle L. Vass, of Raleigh. His brother-in-law, Dr. R. S. Vass, a prominent physician here, was also attached to the 372nd regiment, and was stationed in a field hospital a short distance from the times when Lleu-Bass was killed.

GARVEY PAPER CREATES FUROR IN SO. AFRICA
Its Platform Of "Africa For The Africans" Termed Bolshevistic
SOCIAL, EQUALITY IS RAISED AS BUGABOO
Johannesburg, S. A.—A Garvey paper published here and known as the African World, has created a furor among the whites.
Its platform of 'Africa for the Africans' has created consternation both here and in England. The government has been asked to suppress it. The Sunday Times here had the following to say about the African World recently:
"A more treacherous, inflammatory, deluded and deluding publication it is difficult to imagine. In any but a British country, the invisible for its publication would instantly be dealt with in swift and certain fashion.
"The avowed aim of The African World is to free Africa from the incubus of European control, and in-sell the psychosis of Zaghilah in the African race. In its third issue, published on June 13, it has the barefaced impudence to refer to the imperishable message of His Highness Marcus Garvey, Potentate of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Every well-informed native knows Marcus Garvey, the principled reggae wizard who is five years in prison for cheating the Negroes of the United States out of huge sums of money.
Polsonous Propaganda
"It was poisonous propaganda of the type openly reached by, and permitted in, this sedentious native mind that the Prince of Wales warned the Bantu races against when he advised them to beware of 'tendencies' or to trust to those smooth promises have yet to be translated into performance."
"To detect and demolish the specious fallacy of the 'Africa for the Africans' argument is child's play to the European mind. Left to themselves, the natives would either die of drought or wipe each other out of the native opinion on the subject is scarcely less emphatic. Two years ago the Natal native paper, 'Hanga aao Natal', stated (concerning Garvey): "A leader of natives who tells his that they will be able to take back the land of their fathers by force of arms, and who contends that the white, we have no use for, and we will give him a wide berth. The truth must be told to the native, and the truth is that the white man is here to stay; that he is very strong, far stronger than the white, we have developed brain; also that the native can attain the same height, but only along the same difficult path, and in no other way. It will do our cause no good at all to impress upon the native that he is as good as the white man, for his cannot be demonstrated in action."
World Talka
The: African World, white, a European weekly, says:
"In the 'Negro World' of July 11, which is the official organ in the United States of the Garvey organization, we notice an editorial gloating over the birth of the new 'African world' as the theatrical 'We would tender both the 'Negro World' and its latest offspring in South Africa, which has quite illegally assumed our name, a grave warning, in their best interests, to abstain from any native african south of the Ecuador.
No Garveys Needed
"South Africa knows how to deal with its own problems better than anyone else, and Marc Gavrysev, the head of the mission where else to teach us our own business. Liberia, the Negro Republic of the West Coast, at the time when Gavrysev delegates arrived at Monrovia last year by promptly deporting them on the immediate drastic order to leave King. We hope to hear similar good news are long from the Cape, where the machinations as suggested by her native language are not permitted to exist much longer."
London, England—John P. Davis, a senior at Bates College, Maine, has been acclaimed by critics as one of the great orators of all times, a new Mark Antony or Patrick Henry. His team from Bates College has even defeated that of Cambridge and of the University of Edinburgh. Scotland and Ireland Davis is proud of his victories and of four victories and of two defeats since the opening of our debate battles in the British play.

During his address, in which he urged the audience not to hurry their backs upon those who are willing to be martyrs, Armond W. Scott referred to President Durkee as the one called him a "Southernized Yankee."

The resolutions were presented by a committee composed of Rev. W. D. Jarvis, Thomas Frazier and George G. Tucker, rendered a vocal solo. Invasion was offered by the Rev. V. N. S. Hughes.

DURKEE FIRED 4 TEACHERS AT HOWARD FOR ECONOMY, HIRED $5000 PUBLICITY AGENT Office Of Alumni Secretary, Opposed By Alumni, Costs University $10,000 Additional Every Year; Alumnus Points Out Other FALSE Economics
DURKEEISM AND HOWARD UNI
VERSITY
By Alumni's
Howard University Alumni Association of Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, D. C., voted last week to ask the Trusted Board to fire J. Jeffrey Duncan and indulge Clay George is president of Cleveland Alumni.
President Durkee's explanation of his recent dismissal of certain professors is so entertaining that the reader should share the enjoyment. Each paragraph will be analyzed that honest conclusions may be deduced.
The body of the circular letter sent Congressmen, begins as follows:
"The Trustees of Howard University are faced with the absolute necessity of cutting down the force of teachers and merging departments for economy and efficiency. It is the same problem that our government is facing."
Retrenchment
Fine sentiment and aptly expressed! The demand of the government, in a very word, 'economy' has in it a patriotic thrill that runs through the heart of the country. At a few thousand dollars saved at Howard University will be just as gratifying to the dispensers of federal fund as a similar amount saved at the university.
New Publicity Agent
Any professed program of economy, however, should be able to stand inspection. While Howard's ability to inspect the absolute necessity of cutting down the force for economy," it is at the same time committed to the proposition of appointing a publicity agent, whose responsibility is to act at an annual salary of $5,000.
How can the administration give serious consideration, during these days of forced economy, to such an institution that had not made such a successful stand against Dean Miller's elimination from the college, he would have been Howard's $5,000 Walking Delegate. He may yet be forced to leave.
Economy A Joke
President Durkee must be joking about his economy, or so eager to pay a handsome sum for the dean's excursion from Howard University. The alumni's fight against Dean Miller's transportation from the college is all talk about the publicity agent, but the talk has broken out afresh with the recent announcement that Dr Durkee is to go into the field, with Dean Miller as his associate, with Dean Miller as his associate, and den enthusiasm over publicity is primarily for the purpose of removing Dean Miller from the college. He was recently assigned to a professorship in the college, and now he is担当 as an associate publicity agent.
The Pension Law
Another indication of the economy program is seen in the pension law. With the suddenness of lightning and the lack of necessary funds, the administration decided to pension professors who have reached the "ripe old age" of sixteen. If this humane act merely catches one or two troublesome professors and is then abrogated in order to increase the number of others, it may not prove expensive. But if this law is to outlive Durkeen prescription, and no philanthropy is involved, Howard University will find difficulty in assuming this burden.
Competent At 85
Some professors have actually remained at Howard long enough to grow old, but deprieptum is nowhere evident. Both Deans as Cook and Professor Brennan continue their service as professors considerably younger. Had the rule given professors at sixty-five the option to retire, it would not have forced retirement at an age when a professor may be going at full speed.

Economy is effected not merely by dismissing and pensioning professors, but by not hiring them as well. The rumor has gained imprint that the university will have a new professor in the fall. At present, the department has a professor of botany and one of zoology. The additional instructor, who is to have the rank of a full professor, is to teach botany and zoology. The search work. Vigilant eyes report his presence already on the grounds.
Research Is Valuable
Every university that can give its professors opportunity for research is really rendering highly professional students in the institution have to conne their efforts mostly to instruction. However commendable the administration's objective may be, it can demand that professors for economy and appoint a professor whose time will be given largely to research work. If Dr. Durkee can get one of his students back to school to endow such a chair, he would win the plaudits of even his critics; but it appears that he will have to spend for this project the government's money is trying so zealously to economize.
Alumni Secretary
To make his economy program more seaworthy, Dr. Durkee must remove the expense created by his office and title itself is a misnomer, for an Alumni secretary must derive his office and title from the pleasure of the alumni. The duties of this officer, despite deserts and the contrary, are to circulate the official organ to the president and to make peace for the president with the alumni. He travels far and wide telling the alumni of the latent virtues of the president and entraining for their support.
Spends $10,000
The aggregate expense of the Alumni Secretary's office is in the neighborhood, but $5,000 is needed for the proposed new type of publicity officer, the reader will catch some idea of "economy" at Howard University. Dr. Durkee has been patriotic enough to liken his problem to that of the government, he ought to follow the government procedure in discharging employees. Mr. William Stirling of State Civil Service Commission, has
indicated the spirit of the govern-
men towards service men, as fol-
lows:
Government Policy
"Those who have faced the perils and privations of war should be given preference." These situations are being made the force or any part of the certified service, no employee entitled to military preference in appointment, or the reduced or reduced in rank or salary if his record is good." In making demotions or separations from the service on the basis of time spent in military service is given consideration." They have risked their lives for the benefit and for the maintenance of the government."
Thornton Dismissed
In putting his economy program into effect, Dr. Durkee dismissed Mr. Thornton, an instructor in the late School of Commerce and Finance, while bequested Dean and instructor to the College of Liberal Arts.
Was War Veteran
Mr. Thornton is a World War veteran, who served with the $350 Field Artillery, with Overseas Service and Battle Engagement Record, and with the American Legion, and all other persons interested in the service of our plucky boys abroad, note that Dr. Durkee did not live strictly up to the spirit of the government that supports Howard University.
Thurston Competent
True, the college in which Mr. Thornton taught has been abolished, but the faculty has not. Provision was made for it, but that it was potent to teach any of the subjects retained. The natural thought is that he was the answer, because he was the youngest, in point of service, of the faculty. Such an answer, would be accepted, in point of service, of the faculty. Such an answer would be accepted, of Dr. Durkee, had he been affiliated with the faculty, for his rights that ought to be respected, but not with Dr. Durkee.
Lochard Ousted
Prof. Lochard, another "economic victim," has taught French at Howard University and has assisted professor, Miss Helen Wheathand, daughter of Trustee Wheathand, was appointed as instructor in French for the year 1823-24, she was enpioneered for the year 1824-25, and she was appointed of absence to travel in Europe. It is seldom that such academic courtesy is shown an instructor, especially of one year's service. She is in this "economic adjustment."
His Assistant Kept
There is no intention of belittling Miss Wheatsaint's claim to work at the University. She is not a trustee. She is a graduate of Wellesley College, a specialist in French, and a young lady of excelence. She is not on the Board of Trustees should not militate against her holding a position at Howard, nor should it mitigate in her favor. The dukee shown any respect for seniority, the pruning shears of his economy program or the school's history, who has rendered only one year of classroom service rather than an assistant professor of six years' long
Conflict
Thus it appears that, if there is really to be retreatment for economy, Mr. Thornton was let out but because he did not have seniority, and Prof. Lochard suffered the same fate because he did not have seniority. Can you blame the alumn for understanding Dr Durke's methods?
"Not To Be Filled"
The letter of explanation continues that the dismissed professor was released, "not because of any wrongdoing," but because the university can do its work and not need his services. Four or five teachers are released next year for the self same reason. NOT ONE OF THESE PLACES WILL BE FILLED." This is the declaration that we have made that the position is made of incompetence or lack of co-operation. It is a clear and frank assurance that not one of these positions will be filled. The professor himself any attitude for exigencies. He has clearly manifested his policy, which is not to fill these positions. He will be held strictly to this pledge. He will be held to the rules of nickels and resumes his job.
Watch In "Shifting"
Dr. Durkee, however, must be made to understand that any shifting of professors to take care of vacancies, will be us as reprehensible. For example, if he transfers Prof. Nelson from the School of Religion, to take up Dr. Locke's work in the department, he must be professo- su to succeed Prof. Nelson, he will violate, in spirit, his pledge. Transfers of this sort must be watched, if Dr. Durkee returns in time, or assured members of Congress that he is one of these positions. If he violates his pledge, either by direct action or subterfuge, these Congress- men will be acquainted with his
Personally Sorry
"Personally, I am very sorry, but in my judgment the trustees have acted as wise business men and executives should." Since there is no way of measuring success, we must most cease. A humane president, however, having difficulty in holding back his tears, never would have treated these men in this manner. He would have left a year's notice, and he would have given them an opportunity to resign to save their records.
Should Be Reinstated
The most guilful backwoodswill will hardly accept this sorrow as it is really at the basis of these dismissals, and Dr Duckee is genuinely sorry, these men can be reinstated without embarrassment to the president's economy program. The students of Howard University are not so selfish, so bereft of fraternal feeling, and so inhuman as to be willing to accept increase in salary, if such increase is not accompanied by four or five of their colleagues.
"Chocolate Kiddies" Troupe Now Playing Hamburg
Increases Enumerated
That Howard professors are struggling on starvation salaries is an inescapable truism. The public will be interested to learn of the following increases for next year: the academic deans are increased from $3,100 to $3,500; the alumnary secretary from $2,500; the M. Mills from $1,500 to $2,300, and promoted to associate professor and head of the department of Romance Languages, due among other things. Frank Coleman, to $3,000; Prof. Wesley, from $2,300 to $2,500; Prof. Davis, from $2,500 to $2,650; Prof. Hines, from $1,800 to $2,000, with the understanding that his tenure correlates with the salary of Frank Hansberry, from $1,500 to $1,600.
Lightfoot Loses
Prof. Lightfoot loses editorship of the, HOWARD NIVERSITY RECORD, which is to be merged with the ALUMNUS His loss of $250 for this work in the alumni secretariat, accounting for part of the latter's increase.
Takes Bread From Others
Despite the joy that has come to the hearts of those who have received their increases, there is not one among these faithful servants who would not be willing to suffer for a year in order to meet them. Ditch the months of wives and children.
If Dr. Durkee put this matter squarely before his faculty, the response would be quick and genuine. If he is sincere in this matter, his will meet him more than half way.
An Example
Just the other day, the librarian of the Washington City Library had the option between increasing salaries and not collecting to keep all and raise none, and his charitable act was applauded by all his employees. He persuaded that though "economy" is an excellent defense of his action, Dr. Durkee and some additional, or superior reason for dismissing these four professors, his profess one thing: his action another. If these professors committed some offense, they should have been given the authority to question administration to question certain students, taking down their testimony in shorthand, or otherwise, and names were mentioned to answer the allegations. Justice is always miscarried when the accused, or suspected, is not given a fair opportunity.
Sympathetic
Will Dr. Durkee deny that certain students were questioned concerning the strikes and that they missed professors, excluding Mr. Thornton, were sympathetic? Is such testimony, accepted without cross-examination sufficient reason to elicit complaint to the disinterested reader that "economy" is the real reason for Dr. Durkee's action? The closing paragraph of Dr. Durkee's letter, "Thank you for your great interest in Howard. Her problems are so great, her needs are so great. Oh, could I have the funds necessary, not this work?"

**Eloqueno**
Just a bit eloquent, but decided Durkean Congress has been most generous to Howard University. Friends in both houses have yearly seen that Howard University, without federal authority, has received fat appropriation.
Despite the fact that Howard a theological school, which is indirectly maintained by federal funds, directly supports Bryan, directly is meant that at present the School of Religion is housed in the main building which is heated, lighted and kept in repair by Congressional appropriation. It has a Carnegie Library, another building maintained by Congressional appropriation.
It has a room set apart in the Carnegie Library, another building maintained by Congressional appropriations.
Surely, no one will begrudge the School of Religion such shelter until it gets its own building but the church school has been indirectly helped by Congress, despite the policy of Congress to the contrary, and the vigorous denial of the administration. Howard's problems are indeed great—so great, in fact, that Dr. Durkee deserved them periodically throughout the year. But Dr. Durkee's great problem just now is concerned with her future leadership.
Durkee Inactive
An eloquent appeal for funds has more persuasion when the petitioner has done all in his power to support that fund. But that fund does for funds except to pull at the pockeethook of Congress? Dr. McKenzie found funds for Fisk University, and not a cent came from federal
The time is surely coming when Congress will have to downsize the University Howard University, or adopt the institution as a school of its own. Hampons once enjoyed a similar blessing, but the university was forced to the support of that institution.
Federal Funds For Religion
There is increasing objection to the practice of using federal funds for private institutions which are independent of the Federal government, as it will, regardless of public opinion, while the people's money defrays the bills. This seems unreasonable. We believe, we hope that Congress will answer Dr. Durkee's request for the present and give him money for expanding the work at Howard. He had better, however, not expand it too rapidly. Once before he expanded from a college to a dozen colleges, with the result of a recent "blow-out."
Over Inflation
Over inflation will do more damage than under inflation. Every year Dr. Durkee has been expanding his college, and he is over-stocked with professors. It should be very careful in the future about expanding.
The next article will give some idea of what the administration will do to stem the tide of indignation.

Mr. Thompson is chairman of the delegation from Cuyahoga County, and one of having stated that out of the forty-two delegates who will attend the Grand Lodge from Ohio, not more than six will vote for the reelection of the present in-
Mr. Martin is the Exited Ruler of Fort Dearborn Bodge, which will have twenty-five delegates in the Grand Lodge. He is expected to line up his electors and one of his electors candidates. Other rumblings of defection in the Wilson camp include reports from Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia and Alabama. The opposition places great stress upon these reelection candidates, and has been considered the strengthhold of the Grand Exited Ruler.

T. B. Watkins Contends One Year Long Enough For Exalted Ruler
Washington, D. C., Aug.—(A.N.P.)—Ikldom throughout the country has been silenced, and is very much interested in the well-printed leaders have been sent from one end of the organization to the other, carrying the platform of T. B. Watkins, of Kassus City, Mo., and the pronouncement of the Committee backing Mr. Watkins for the office of Grand Exalted Ruler.
The Watkins platform is needed for its brevity, burglary lays out vital concern to Ellis, according to the aggressive Watkins broke here is the platform: Time, and not more than two years of Grand Exalted Ruler; Economy in the office of the Grand Exalted Ruler; Grand Lodge; the institution of relief department; and the opening of a national historical conation on the constitution of the United States.
First Plank
The first plank of the platform, that of a short term for Grand Ealed Ruler, has become one of the outstanding subjects of the order and will undoubtedly be contended for most doggedly by leaders who have been involved in convention in Richmond, Va., in America it is guarded as forcing the issue directly with J. Finley Wilson, present of L. R., and his adherents.
Fourth Term
Wilson is a candidate for a four-term to the office, and there are many other positions in the office is out of his knowledge in real spirit of Elkinson. Wilson was elected for the first time in New York in 1982, when he prepared the letter to delegates backing his candidates, that he would accept the office for only one term of one year, and that he would support another candidate with this agreement, forces backing Gayle Belsham of New York. William Williams agreed to the deal. Welshan had had only one year, and must have had a second, but for two incidents that were used by the opposition
Insurance
First, he sponsored an insurance arrangement, which had certain merit, but attained unpopular development. second, he had written a book that would not make official visits such where there are "limm Grow cats" Senator Bob Dole, who in he beared slick to him when he had been trying a number of years for the office without success, having come up through all of the offices. third, he had been popular in many ways took his defeat philosophically. Wilson Lovett of Power. During the first year, Fidelity Wilson son, was a greatness, fell in love with the taste of "Power." So, when the convention met in Chicago he had met that person and the talkmans could effect him. The Chicago convention, was made spectacular by the efforts to elect W. C. Horsley of Chicago.
Used Money
Howell wore after the place is a big way, backed by the best finance, but could not reach the team. He really had a walk away. The teller however, he is destined to meet combat in Richmond. There are six players. Wilson cannot be elected again, and there are others who say, if he the lodge will he split asunder. Wilson has established himself as a seasonally has been little thought of directing the work. Other candidates include Dalton Schaefer and George McNeeh of Baltimore.

the State, died at his home early
morning. He was his 62 year-
old niece.
when the end came he was surrounded by the members of his family and social circles, in the long illness. As in the death, the power of the United Temple was immense. He was poised for peace in a few seconds before the death. He Gregory was born on September 29, 1852, in Queens and Queen City, Va., and graduated from Queens College. He received a training for theology from the University of Pennsylvania, before entering theology some special work at the Temple in New York, and took some special work at the Temple in Philadelphia, in the ministry. Before his active charge of a church he might for several years at the Temple to Atlantic City. Dr Gregory returned to the church at Haddonfield, remaining its active pastor. He then returned to Atlantic City, and the church at Atlantic City, and the church in East Cedar Beach, of which are now thriving religious centers. He came to Atlantic City in 1881 and with two members he headed the United Temple, the first of the largest and most churches in the State, in which he has been at the head of the church.

Q—What effect does the consciousness have on your thoughts?
A—Thought, as understood by psychologists, is an impulse or impression received by the instrument of mind power, (the brain) finding its interpretation in the pineal glands, through the physical senses, seeing, smelling, tasting and feeling. Your consciousness effects the thought only to the extent that you are able to understand the thought form produced upon your mentality.
Q.—Why the necessity of dark or semi-dark scances for Spiritual phenomena?
A—It is to be understood that all of the greatest wonders of the world have been produced by the negative condition, known to us as darkness. The very planet on which we live was in darkness, until God spoke, and there was light (Gen. 1:1-4). Read the following passages, (1) Kings 5:12, (Gen. 22:24), Ex. 14:0-30, (John 20:1). These passages are not given as proof of the necessity, but only as conclusive evidences of the existing condition. In past

ODD FELLOWS AT FLEET ST. BAPTIST
PASTOR W. C. B. BROWN WEL
COMES ORDER TO N. X.
B. Geo. E. Taylor
Ex. Telegram—
Brooklyn, N. Y.—Before one of the greatest throngs that has ever assembled in a fraternal convention in the town of Brooklyn, I met the pastor of Fleet Street Baptist Church, where the State Convention of the United Order of Old Fellows is in session, made something like a sensational address to the grand officers and staff. He said among some other things, "I am very sorry to say that you strangers here will not find the opportunity to appreciate the efforts on the part of myself and others, we have failed of an organization." "That is what we need, and just what we have to do," he told the ministers wives are strongly organized here. There seems a little or no prospects of an organization because my people are to hopelessly divided, but of the Old Fellows from all parts, will find plenty of comfort and enjoyment while here. "It must be remembered that we carry out the work of this great organization. When the nation sinks, we also sink; when it succeeds, we also succeed. This we must remember."
"The white man came here and took the Indian's rights away and took his country and told him to stay there in order to perpetuate his own race. They also brought us the Negro you encounter you place a Nogro he will stay right there and grow. "If I had my way," he said, "I would break down the barrier of my people one gigantic organization of my people for the uplift of this race." The rivers will some day break the boundaries of the countryside overflow upon the soils of the younger men of the race, it will be then that the clock of time will change, compulsions will be imposed and the welfare address on the part of the city for Mayor Hyllan. There are to be elected here, nine grand officers covering fourteen states. James Spencer, M. Johnson, D. G. M. R. M.; Mrs. Sarah A. Poole, D. M. R. G.; Mrs. Sarah A. Clark, D. W.

New York, (Afa Bureau) — On the eve of the country-wide convention of the Elks in Richmond, Va., James H. Jones, who was to head the New York delegation of the advance guard for the hot battle of the election of Daimus Steele of New York, and the Exalted Ruler, Kidman, who kidnapped, Jones, who resides at 250 West 153rd street, New York, was to leave Richmond, Va., last Monday, with the advance guard committee to assist in the campaign against Finley Wilson of Washington, D. C., to elect Steele. The Eastern plans were all cut and dried over several nights in the Imperial Lodge in New York. The deterents are on a still hunt for the real motive. Police headquarters sent up two extra gun shoemen with some snookers in综合ex colored resort in New York
BILIOUS ATTACKS
From Which Kentucky Man Suffered Two or Three Times a Month, Relieved by Black-Draught.
Lawrenceburg, Ky.-Mr. J. P. Nervins, a local coal dealer and farmer, about two years ago learned of the value of Theford's Black-Draught liver medicine, and now he says: "Until then I suffered with severe billious attacks that came on two or three times each month. I would get nauseated. I would have dizziness and couldn't work. "I would take pills until I was worn out with them. I didn't seem to get relief. After taking the pills my bowels would act a couple or three times, then I would be very concerned. "A neighbor told me of Black-Draught. And I began its use. I never have found so much relief as it gave me. I would not be without it for anything. "It seemed to cleanse my whole system and make me feel like new. I did not feel sick. I did not the bile and have my usual clear head, feel full of 'pop' and could do twice the work."

New York Mayor Tells Afro
Why He Looks Forward To
Reelection
MADE MORTON HEAD
OF CIVIL COMMISSION
Builtts Schools, Bath House,
And Name Xany Vice Police
New York—Mayor John F. Hylan,
of New York City, Democratic candidate for re-election, has just sent the Afro-American New York office his first personal statement of his attitude towards the colored people.
He enumerates three things accomplished, under his administration:
George E. Taylor.
2257 Seventh Ave., N. Y. C.
I have been open and above board with the colored people of this city; have tried to do the right thing, and acknowledge that they have given me the heartiest co-operation.
Appointments to the city service have been made without discrimination of any kind. Colored men and women, who have qualified in examinations, where examinations are a preliminary requirement, have been appointed as their names have been reached on the eligible lists. Partially is this true of the Police Department where colored men and women are now enlisted in New York City's army of brave peace defenders. And who is the head of the Municipal Civil Service Commission? Perdina and Q. Morton. His appointment by me marked the first appointment in the history of our city of a colored man to head this or any other department.
We have striven to provide more parks and playgrounds and new public baths. The recent election by the Medical Board of Harlem Hospital of four members of the colored race to the medical staff clearly indicates that recognition of equality of opportunity which this administration has adhered to.
Adquate school buildings to house the school going population of all races and creeds in every section of the city, whether in Harlem or in any other part of the various boroughs, has been one of the conspicuous achievements of the present city administration. In the past seven and a half years, 201 new public schools have been placed under construction, about 150 of them finished and occupied by the children, with a seating capacity for over 260,000 pupils. We have appropriated $50,000,000 more for new public schools than all previous city administrations for twenty years. We are determined that the boys and girls of this city shall have an opportunity for receiving a sound fundamental education. That has been our answer to those who for years sought to deny to the children of the people, white and colored, the chance to reach the limit of their capacity by refusing to provide them with an adequate number of schools and the privileges of a thorough elementary education. We know that no greater step forward in the progress of any race or element of a population is attained than through the medium of education.
The people of this city, regardless of race, creed or color, should realize that the coming Mayorality battle is their battle. I have kept the faith with them; and they have stood bravely by me. Democrats and Republicans both who want a continuance of the five-cent fare and a good government, should stand solidly together. The power of the ballot will defeat the power of wealth in 1925 as it did in 1911 and in 1921.
Very truly yours,
JOHN F. HYLAN,
Mayor.
Appears Thought
Kidnapped
The affair is not generally known, but when it is, there will be consternation spread throughout the entire Elks.
The impression is that Jones has been安肄 by some gun men, the opposite side, and killed or kidnapped.
His wife, at his home, 250 West 123rd street, is grief stricken over the affair.

READ HIS LETTER
triangle Laboratories, Inc., 1363 Balcom Ave., N. Y.
Gentlemen:
Little do people realize the hard work behind hot ranges. And it was this work that wore me down to almost a skeleton. I was such a nervous wreck that made me become unbearable to my wife's sight. Tiredness was another evil of mine. Many mornings I got up with severe headaches. Sometimes my back became ever painful. My kidneys gave me no end of trouble. In fact, I was classed as a very sick man on the law. I saw your advertisement in a German paper.
I made up my mind then and there that I wasn't going to experiment with all kinds of medicine. Immediately I had my wife write you for five boxes of Giant-Ox, that shortly after resulted in me writing you this letter. Thanks to Science—at last it has a tonle for the folks that need it. I follow Giant-Ox and support it.
"Respectfully yours,
GENNARO GALANO."

Paul Robeson Goes To London With "Emperor"
New York.—James Light, one of the directors of the Provincetown Playhouse, sailed for London last week to make a new production of *O'Neil's The Emperor Jones*, for H. M. Harwood, the English producer. Roboseb, who played the role at the Provincetown Playhouse, accompanied Light abroad, and will play the part in the London production. *Emperor Jones* has well high made a circuit of the globe. It has been played in translation in Japan, Sweden, Berlin, Vienna and Prague. Roboseb, however, will be the first American to play on the other side of the Atlantic. Light will return to New York in late September after staging the piece. The story of the tortured superman, the hero of the story, will be favorably received by the British.
REGENT
After an absence of several weeks, Ivry Miller and his hired boys and girls, have returned to the city, bringing several friends and them. As usual, the Ivry Miller brand of clean, snappy entertainment is handed the customers, which the latter accepted with applause at every opportunity. Duplicated by H.C. Cummings, Lily Yuen have been entrusted with the leading female roles, and they don't betray their trust. Lily Yuen always a prime favorite here, duplicated by H.C. Cummings, she "just too bad," especially when she charlestons. The other two principal women perform like the glamorous actresses they are, and were be assured they are the buyers on Monday afternoon.

Donald Yan Emps soiled, and Ivry Miller did some dress to applause.
As of yore, the choreographers and others in the company show the Milters training. Hence, there is a balanced use of the choreography and the creation of genuine amusement. The less said of the plot, the better. There is no effort to go in for anything pretentious; rather the musical is a series of "bits" and episodes of a comedy, among them "Lien-Dinah" mixed with "Broadway Rastus" and "Lut and Take" are agreeably blended and labeled for "Amusement purpose." Serome Carrington, the house organist-pianist, is singing to animated slides at night that prove a pleasing innovation. "Under the Red Robe" Monday and Tuesday's picture adds a general perfection of the program.

Barbara LaMar is popular, and this feature will satisfy you.
Extremely fine settings, exquisite photography, clever acting by star and supporting cast enable 'The Heart of a Siren' coming to the Regent next Monday and Tuesday to register as entertainment far above the ordinary brand. At the point in the film's favor is that although offering a decided vamp yarn, with unlimited lovemaking constantly in evidence, it contains nothing likely to offend the most prudish patron.
Director Phil Rosen, deserves congratulations for the deft, delicate fashion in which he has handled some near during situations, which left him feeling a bit overwhelmed. Also, he has woven a thread of comedy throughout the story which serves to vary and modify its heavy emotional trend melody, and achieve some rarely beautiful atmospheric effects in the way of settings and Southern European backgrounds. The young British hero who at first successfully resists the wiles of sirens Isabella by the latter, their union, separation and final reconciliation, is set forth in a series of admirably filmed scenes which are never devoid of interest. The action moves smoothly and rudely and suspense gathers gradually, culminating in a dramatic scene where Sirens avert Isabella's threatened outside, and the pair finds happiness together.
Barbara La Mar has never appeared in a vamp role in which her beauty and ability to manifest power over the heart of the average male shows better than usual. She wows a dazzling array of handsome gowns with syphil-like grace, a fact which should go far toward increasing the film's drawing strength so far as feminine patrons are concerned.
Conway Tearle gives one of his usual schemes, string performance sequences made upon him. The comedy excellent of its kind, is provided by William Rieckeland and Clifton Webb, the latter scoring some great laughs hits as valet to the heroine.
"I Want My Man" on Wednesday and "Forget Me Not." Friday Saturday are also good entertainment and worth box-office investment.

Negroes Folk Songs Consti-
tute America's Chief Claim
To Musical Distinction
Carl Van Vechten, in an art-
title entitled, "Wealth of Me-
ddy and Emotion Of The Negro
Folk Songs."
He says in part, "Paul Robeson, I think: is a fine artist, as fine an artist in his way as Vince Gulli, who is a great painter, who minds me, in the polignant simplicity of his art, of Chalaphn. It is typical of his acting that he never appears to obsess over his subjects and gestures and the volume of his voice are under such complete control and such studied discipline that he is an assistant of great service force. He is a fine actor, as anyone will testify who saw him in "The Emperor Jones," in the role of the Negro porter, pursued by racial
Voice's Beautiful Quality
In singing, his voice retains its beautiful quality and the same sense of expression manifests itself. His exclamation is impeccable—one never misses a word—and his interpretation is clear, though out and lucidly expressed.
Lawrence Brown
Lawrence Brown's versions of the Spirituals are in many instances remarkable. I would call attention especially to the evangelical abandon of his transcription of "Every Time I Saw You" shortly after the marriage with the slow-footed arrangements made by other musicians. Mr. Brown's voice is quite adequate to the uses to which he puts it, and his spirit in the responses is so poignant. His singing is doubly enhanced by his vital co-operation.
Chief Claim To Distruction
It is not generally realized that the folk-songs of the Negro are still safe to sing, but the state said that the folk-songs of the Negro constitute America's chief claim to musical heritage. Every list makes that claim stronger.
Whitney's Show To Open This Month
Nashville, Tenn., August. — From New York, where the ever popular team of Whitney and Tatum, the team of St. Louis, the storious season's hard work, comes the news in behalf of next season's opening. This, taking effect on August 1, 2014, the season's opening will be at the Opheme Theatre, Newark, N. J. The house is under the management of Mr. Whipner. This season says the show will be the first thing in excellence. It will number about eightteen to twenty-two people. If plans go through, the show will be jazz hard carried with the show, to put on concerts in front of each theatre. This season's opening, date in Nashville, the show will likely play the following cities: Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington. From here, it will be routed into Virginia and South Carolina. With such a route, the show should be able to play a whole season down south, with the "Nut Brown Gall" will be utilized.

Is In Milan
Milan, Italy, August—Misses Aurélia Wheeldin and Emma Malthand who were formerly at the Moulin Rouge, Paris, are now appearing in an all-white revue in this city. They are the only colored girls in the city. The girls say that the treatment in France and Emma are in France, and that they are perfectly contented and happy. They are appearing in their own specialty in Indie, and that they are Indieful. The revue is routed into other foreign territory after this engagement. The other girls who appeared with the act in Paris, have returned to the United States, except Miss Theresa West, who went to Amsterdam to attend the close. Tommy Woods, the dancer, was also with the aggregation.
Bob Russell Needs Assistance
An appeal is being made for help for Bob Russell, one of the oldest and most popular producers in the profession, who is very ill in a St. Louis hospital. No individual in the ranks of colored artists has yet made the Bob Russell, who has been the guide, teacher and counsellor of hundreds enjoying prosperity and health today.
The press seems to be presenting a solid argument for the man's condition is broadcasted to those who are in the position to alleviate his sufferings by letting him know in a practical way that he is not forgotten, though temporarily out of the game.
Performances given by reliable performances should soon raise the necessary amount. Contributions may be mailed to the APRO-AMERICAN, or to any other reputable paper. Or, if the money reaches Mr. Russell, no matter to whom it is given.

The white press daily, weekly, and monthly has been paying unusual attention to the artistic group among us recently. The group, led by the talented musician C. Handy, the blues writer.

WONDERLAND
Approximately 1,840 persons entered the turnstiles of the dance pavilion at Wonderland on Monday night to hear and see the chaiting of the Buckner Henderson and like the Dixon Bands. Of course the celebrated "Blue Flame Broadcasters" were the "aces" that attracted the crowd, who began to leave by automobile and trolley for the park, early in the morning. An accident occurred almost disaster to the party, because of the arrest of the driver of a automobile in which three of the Henderson Band, travelled to Baltimore, for speeding. Two cornet players, accompanied by the car, but affected their release, and reached the resort after several numbers had been played.
With the absences in their places, the crippled band "strutted," and proved to the most discriminating patron why they are called the best
Park officials say that Monday night's attendance equals it not surpasses any of this season. So large was the attendance that for a time, dancing was somewhat difficult, but this was soon obviated by the withdrawal of many who left, fearing that they might not catch a trolley. Those coming in automobiles were permitted to remain until the last strain. Remarks made about the playing of the two orchestras proved that there is always patronage for a big-time attraction.
Supday attendance was somewhat below normal, doubtlessly due, to many choosing to wait until Monday and Tuesday night. All rides and other amusement paraphernalia have been placed and tuned up. The Whip seems to hold first place with the visitors, with the aeroplanes a close second. The management will welcome any church, or other organization who wish to give an outing at Wonderland. There is no charge for the use of the grounds.
Sam Taylor's Band of Washington, is in attendance on every Friday. Other "name" orchestras will appear here weekly, until the sea-

Ten minutes of music as Negrens can sing it interspersed with dancing as only they can must step it. Mitchell, the celebrated choreaturist, literally thrills the oblige. Ah what music, what a role of crime, ostrich plumes waving as wonderful kaleidoscope of old headdresses. Jean Starr, Truth Chorus aesthetics dancer, and Miss Waston ten, execute some pedal gratification that cause the onlookers to deliver both spontaneous and magnificent.
Baltimore's Song Bled
And the Baltimore's own, Abigail Mitchell, returns to solo "The Body That Made You Mine" to detain her. She's a master of the nerves, whose nerve centers and arms always hard to disturb. Follows as Oriental fantasy, beautiful as a sunlit garden, but when she been wafted to far off Persia or Egypt or Turkey, where the hare madden dance for the entertained, she's a master of the masters.

The ace of the evening comes to a deafening occasion. No less carding being Johnny Hudgins the imitative, the ace of the orchestra, oriental dances, and pantomimes, as though he had been a member of an kinnelish pantomime group all over the world. And now Hudgins proves why he has been placed in the "next to shut" spot. The conductor the orchestra deserves credit. The success of the two is marvelous. The applause hammers given the guest were brought into play, making a chaucaque solute seem feeble as at the end.

Monumental Tennis Tournament Gets Under way Monday With Record Entry
FINALS TO BE PLAYED FRIDAY OR SATURDAY
Ted Thompson of D. C. And Miss Washington of Philly Favored To Win
Ideal weather favored the opening of the Monumental club open tennis tournament, which goes underway Monday with about 75 entrants.
Play advanced through the second round Tuesday without any preceptible upsets. Rain halted play on Wednesday, but the matches will resume Thursday or Friday for finals or a quarterfinal. Nearly one quarter of the players defaulted in the first round.
Ted Thompson, runner up in the 2024 Nationals, who defeated Sylvester Smith last week for the Washington title, was through to defeat Ralph Baltimore, 6-4, 8-3.
Thompson Defcats Cook
At no time did the District champ extend himself. Many are of the opinion Thompson will meet Edgar Brown for the *Animal title at Bordentown*, this week, to whom he will appeal. The Thompson sent shots into the net, and at times played careless. Evidently Thompson is holding back for the finals the last of the week. Dr. B. M. Rhetta easily won two games, and the finals were 0-0. Dr. Rhetta and Thompson are favored to meet in the finals.
Davis Wins
One of the hardest matches of the first round was between Dr. Cardozo and Ed Davis of Washington. Davis took the lead and scored 15 games to decide the winner. Dr. Cardozo had his opponent bewildered with his lobs when he sent it to the back of the court, but most times it fell short, which allowed Davis a chance to win. The match between John Wilkinson and Lenore Cook, both of Washington, provided the biggest thrill of the early match. The Cardozo team played the younger players, playing a steady game at all times. His shots and timing were unusually accurate. With a little more practice and experience, the Nationals be reckoned with in the Nationals.
Cook Rushes "Wilkle"
Wilkinson outgenerated, but did not outplay his opponent. The veteran was three inches tall, twice as tall, deciding set, with both played a back court game, fighting desperately for the attacking position. At times Cook drew from Wilkinson in the net, and shots over the net, and when Wilkinson returned the ball, Cook sent one of his low chipped drives into the net. Only one set on men's doubles was played. Sterling Brown paired with Allen Woolridge of Washington, defeated Moore and Matthews Baltimore in straight sets, 8-1, 9-1.
Ladies Singles
In the ladies' singles, Miss Nellie Nicholson drew a bye. Miss Junior of Philadelphia had to extend to defeat Miss Helen Rhetta of Baltimore 6-1, Miss Ora Washington of Philadelphia won handily from Mrs. Wright, 6-1, 6-0, in the second round. Miss Rhetta went to the third round through defaults. Mrs. McRae defaulted in the first round and Miss P. Wharton in the second. Miss Washington in the third round.
Rule Violated
Only one was foot fault rules called, although the rule was violated several times. The most common one was foot one over the line, while serving and standing with one foot in the line. The junior champion of Baltimore, defeated dames Carr, his opponent in the junior championship, in straight sets, 6-1, 6-3. Dr. Rhetta almost smothered Wiles in winning, 6-1, 5-0. Brax completely routed Haughton 6-0, 6-0.

Bold Changes Style
Reid faced Burrell in the final and started off with his usual driving game. Finding that his opponent's fright chops could not be placed, Burrell had to speed and managed to win points with a change of pace and accurate placements.
The entire match was full of long rattles in which the veteran was able to maintain his speed of the Germantown youth.
Miss Washington Wins
Miss Ora Washington, who was the runner-up to Miss Lila Fallallard in the Philadelphia local tournament last week, won four singles by defeating Miss Junior, 6-2, 6-3. In the semi-finals, Miss Washington eliminated Miss Helen Cook another Germantown star, at 6-1, 6-0. The tournament committee, consisted of Mrs. Edythe C. Crenshaw and Mrs. Laura Willis, with J.

EDGAR BROWN BROKE GLASSES IN WINNING CHICAGO TOURNAMENT
Chicago, Ill.—After sunning his shell shinned glasses on an intermittent return, Edgar Brown, former national singles champion, stuck in the mud on the bridge of his nose, and won the final set and match from Talley Holmes, in the St. Thomas Invitational tennis tournament here Saturday, 6-4, 11-7. The final score was 1-6, 6-2, 6-4, 6-4. On a hard court back court by drive by Brown attempted to return the shot on the court accidently striking him in the face, shattering his glasses. None of the flying glass got in the champion's hand. Brown resumed play and won the fourth and deciding set handily. Brown appeared on the court with a rain coat, and a rain coat. Brown proved that he was the "Old Master's" master. He kept Holmes at break neck speed. He would keep Holmes in the rain with a terrific drive across court for the winning point.
In a statement to the AFRO this week, Athenian basketball team, said he had signed a new recruit for his club, who is a former Athenian player. Mrs. Harris presented the Athenian manager with a five-pound baby boy "on the right," said Harris. "He showed up on Saturday morning, and said he was to be late for the AFRO excursion."
The Afro-American—South's Biggest and Best Weekly
Washington, D. C.—For the second consecutive time, Ted Thompson, youthful college boy, won the District Tennis Championship in the tournament held by the James E. Walker Tennis Club, under the sanction of the American Tennis Association.
The finals were played Sunday afternoon on the club's courts at 5:18 and "W streets, northwest. A heavy downpour on Friday forced postponement of the semi-finals until Saturday and caused the finals to go over for a day.
"Ted" Wins In Straight
The title was to be decided on a best three sets out of five baskets, but it took only three sets for Todd to win. He won three straight sets from Sylvester Smith, who was playing his first tournament tennis in two years. The score was 6-2, 6-4, 6-1. He played an aggressive game, smashing and driving with a recklessness with which his opponent could not cope. He used a vicious service to a three-set victory over his rival and on many a drive "Smith never even placed his racket. At other times the collegian would resort to strategy, skillfully placing the ball where his rival could not
Smith Outclassed
The game of mith was by no means bad. He played steadily and showed skill in placing his returns, but Ted was playing a supergirl game. The first upset in the tournament came in the fourth round Saturday afternoon when Smith defeated Alain Woolridge, who is the fourth playover player under the American Tennis Association ratings. The score was 6-2, 10-8.
Wilkinson Defeated
In the upper bracket in the semifinals, J. F. N. Wilkinson was matched with Ted Thompson. Johnie Wilkinson had played a suspenseful game, and it was generally thought that he would make "Ted" extend himself in order to advance to the finals. But Wilkinson faltered in his play, and the game ended with "Ted" won in three straight sets, 6-3, 6-2, 6-1. The biggest upset of the tournament came in the women's singles when Miss Japan Gant defeated Miss Japan in the finals for the women's title.
Miss Gants

Chicago Has Stepped Out In Tennis Says Edgar G. Brown
Mule Race Enlivens Annual Tournament At Phoenix

The first track meet and the first game of football played among colored people here in Baltimore took place in the year 1752, when a group of African American organized for a public contest. In those days teachers in the schools had no interest in athletics as they have now, and the intuitive and work of organizing the games marred and ended in the student body.
First Track Meet
In the spring of 1887 we started practice on long distance running in the yard of the Polytechnic, and the first meet was staged May 30th of that year at Lake Montebello on the Kenyon Road. All of the prizes which comprised a pair of running shoes and a pair of jumpers, were supplied from the location. When the successful day arrived, we held the contest in the presence of a lunch of girls, and boys from the High School and the Polytechnic. The participants included John L. Larson, William L. Lexington and Paul J. Lawson. In the main mile and three eighths race, Beckett came in first, and Stafford second. There were also minor events, including short races
Football Is Born
Shortly after this meet, a group of boys, including Richard Wright, Bernard Taylor, Clarence Chumman, John Beek, Mel Branton, John Murphy and Paul Lawson, hold a meeting in which plans for the first, football game ever played here were made. The mission and the date for the nightly contest, was set for Thanksgiving, which fell that year on November 28th. When schools opened in September, the Hill Park. Members of some of the white teams came out often and gave us points on the game. Then came the great day of battles with the other operators came out to the big push, a third of them being white fans, Captain Richard Wright, captain of the High team, won the toss, and selected the cast for the Politechnic, went to the west goal, and had the hill. Harry Anderson, a Morgan College man, was refered, and was assigned to the (Dr) Hughes, and Carrington Davis.

Chicago, the first city in the center of our great continent, has stripped the St. Thomas Invitational Tennis Tournament with first ten players, plenty of balls, and two national champions present who journeyed from the Pacific and Atlantic coasts respectively.
I have played tennis with our best from New York to Frisco but never have played so competently such wholesome hospitality, perfect courts, proficient officiating, our coach, team the club members and so find and gracious sportsmanship, on the part of the contenders.

Dr. O. H. Wintle Brown of the St. Thomas Episcopal Church, Mr. Harry James, president of the Prairie Tennis Club, Attorney John K. Radcliffe, President Hawley of the Appomattox Club, and the newspaper fraternity have made tennis history. A new page must be written: in the annals of the American Ten-
This is the first time on record that a movement has been successful. Our best tennis players to Chicago, and the public demonstrated its keen interest by coming out in large numbers and making matches a big financial success. The tennis fans, visitors and friends of this wonder city of the Southwest themselves for such an encouraging and sincere appreciation of the efforts of the officials and tennis players of St. Louis, Californie, St. Louis and Louisville.
Tennis Library
It might be timely to add here that Louisville represented the Perthshire made an invariable contribution to this whole new program, when they opened their new library at their local club house.

Clarence Dorsey piloted the winner in fine style, coming from behind Honey Suckle in a final spirit to win by a good 10 yards. Dick Miller astirds the ball with a bat. Bobby Rufus and threw Jockey Rufus Dorssey, but neither horse nor rider were hurt. The King Flynn Memorial is run each year in honor of King Flynn, an American man, which was killed on the course several years ago.
The High School lineup was as follows: James Wright, right end; Truly Hachett, right tackle; John Barber, center; Howard Fernandes, left guard; William Anderson, left tackle; Percy Allen, left end; Richard Wright, captain line up; John Barber, center; Howard Fernandes, left guard; William Anderson, left tackle; Percy Allen, left end; Richard Wright, captain line up; Arthur Bowen, right half, and Hickey Maverey, quarter.

Everything went in that game. There were no fine points and sheer strength was the factor in the victory. In the first half, with a score 29-0. In the last half Poly rallied and made six points but their rivals countered with another six, making the closing score,
The Afro-American, and white papers gave the affair considerable publicity and the game went down in history as one of footfighters in Baltimore.
Society Trined Out
Baltimore society turned out at that game. Among some of those present were:
Bernard Taylor, Wm. Gray, Wm. Anthomas, John and Dan Murphy, Tom Watkins, Maurice Green and Geo. E. Murphy, Among some of the indies that the team were led by, were George Crance, Miss Georgia Crance, Miss Helen Thomas, Nelle Davis, Carrie Shleip, Bentrice Thomas, and Miss Maggie Stokes, and a host of others.
The 1988 High School and Polly had a team which was called the all-Ballo team. So, Thanksgiving of that year, we went to Annapolis and played the Crested Birds captain of that team, arranged a special train in that team, arranged a special train for us.
There was a lull in the football from the school until under colored teachers. Then Mr. Ralph Cook and Mr. D. O. W. Holmes took charge of that nightly team of 1901, with such stars as Carl Bill Briggs Winnis Braxley, Jimmie Price, Jiggs Armstrong,

Dumb Bells
Just peep into one of J. Parmy Paret's books on Lawn Tennis Methods and Players. Meyers, Baenish, Blackmore, Tilden, Sutton, Mallory, or one of a dozen of Spoulding's library paper bound pamphlets would convince even an ignominus that if we are ever going to play the modern American Driving game we cannot do it by aping some chop stroke, push ball, putting run around, backhandless tennis freak who thinks the 1837 brand good enough for 1925.
Only this week I saw a brownskin brother, just eighteen, with all the strength and bovancy of youth, playing safe, trying to out cut Talley and of course he lost ignominously.
The few times in the match he had sense enough to unconsciously drive a ball (as one by observation can prove). It was not returned by Mr. Holmes in the dimensions of the court, particularly if it happened to hit the ground and bound high to his indefensibly "rotten" backband.
Holmes' Chop Killer
And I might mention here the only time I remembered being in the kitchen with Mr. Holmes was when he overcame habit, and instead of dishing up a slow easily killed chop he let loose and actually got through what whirlwind the settings of a first class forehand drive. Let me say to all folks young and old who desire to play a decent game of chopping—start tomorrow, no today, when you get out on the court and resolve to drive every ball until Wednesday if necessary your early time ignorance overcomes your better life and your sub-conscious mind even intimates a cut—cut it
No Chopped Can Win
I mean every word of it—read the literature of lawn tennis—no chopper ever won the single tennis championship's time right now to champion right.
In passing through Salt Lake City, Denver, Kansas City, and St. Louis, on our way back East, we saw many promising youngsters who with Regina Wailer of New York, and Doug Lasner Turner of Chicago, some day advance us another step toward our day at Forest Hill, or Wimbledon.
A male race turned out to be the high light on the afternoon program. Several males started, but most of them made a bee line for the barn and a nearby corn field. Finally one was persevered to cross the finish.
A sack race, baseball game and a day's play, football completed the day's program. The A. C. won a hotly contested game from Long Green by a 14-5 score. Prizes awarded the winners in each event. James F. and Clarence C. Hall, of Quaker College, brought the horse shoe pitching contest through the horse shoe pitching contest from a Quaker Box, Md., team.

How about it, are you qualified to face it—are others doing more and getting more out of life than you are? Find out, if you don't get enough you down. No one can violate manners, morally, *believe it* (as I have thousands of other men), can you trust the firemen, or us your troubles. Let me help you to regain and maintain your health.
MIDDLE-AGED MEN
Constitute a large part of my practice. At this time of life a psychological change takes place and the need of an experienced doctor is great them at this critical period to advise them as to what to do and what to avoid to regain health and a sound body once more.
.BEAR IN MIND
That my offices complete are fully equipped with the latest and most scientific apparatus and appliances for the diagnosis and successful treatment of chronic diseases. That I am ripe in years of experience in my chosen field of profession, that I will not promise more than I can give and that each time you call you will receive the treatment advisable. That my fees for services are reasonable and that every sick and ailing person will receive the same thorough examination and service as though you paid my small fee in advance. There is no person too poor to receive my best advice free and if you are out of work and money do not let that keep you from calling as I will arrange my terms of payment in such a way that will enable the poorest person to receive treatment from me.
NERVES AND BLOOD ARE LIFE
The lack of nerve force is found among men of all ages. This is true in the walks of life, from the day laborers to the mechanic or professional man, and in the army, where are alike sufferers—no man is exempt from the alliment who has rebelled against the laws—so if you have the result of nerve loss, dissipation, sedentary habits, injury, and your vital organs are disturbed, you may see the right doctor make it easier to overcome the symptoms, and might reach an incurable condition beyond relief if you delay too long.

Philadelphia, Pa.—The so termed "lucky seventh" ran true to form for the Hildale team, when with the aid of some timely binges by Capt. Warfield and Otto Briggs, Darby Daisies vanished in a chase by the spirited content at triplets' tuck, by the score of 5 to 4, Thursday. For two frames the contest was a pitcher's battle between Phil Cook-rell and Rats Henderson, with the star hindgone on the Bee's star hindgone.
Tainud Marker
The home club scored a tainted mainer in the inning when Jones let one of Henderson's fast ones clude his grasp with Warfield camping on third. The proportion grew into a large proportion as the game progressed, with both hurters pitching an air-tight brand of ball. But in the sixth frame, after being held to two safe hits by Cockrell, the Athletics and socked Cockrell's moist ball for five hits and four runs.
Thomas Tied Score
In the home club half of the 6th, Judy Johnson put the Darcyttes in the running when he cracked out a triple with Corg and Mackey on the bases. Clint Thomas then deanlocked the count at four all, by sending a sacrifice fly to Brown, scoring Judy.

N. Y. COMMISH PLAGES CHAMP ON BLACK LIST
New York, N. Y.—Jack Dempsey, the champion dogger of all times, has at last been cornered, not by another fighter, but by the New York Boxing Commission. Dempsey has been declared supported until he is signed an iron brown Panther to meet Harry Wills, the Brown Panther, in a championship bout for the heavyweight crown. The "dodger" has been saying for the past four years that he would meet Wills, but has always dodged the issue when it came to a showdown. Dempsey is not licensed in New York, so his title could not be declared vacant, but the Board announced that it would suspend fighter under its jurisdiction who dares to be matched with him, but he seems a bonified agreement to meet Wills. The Board will not even allow Dempsey to indulge in any of his so-called "warm-up" matches. It must be Wills or nothing. The Board power in the States of Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Pennsylvania. Other states are most likely to place the
The Commission ignored all letters and telegrams sent them by Dempsey. Nothing will satisfy them but his John Hancock, on the dotted lines, saying he will fight Harry Wiley.
Tex Ricket asked permission to put on a Wills-Tunney match, but Brady Mullins, Wills manager, objected. Mullins said it was Dempsey he was after.

Aside from pitching winning ball, Phil Cockrell pulled the elding feat of the game in the ninth inning, when in an attempt to cover first base, he stumbled, and fell, caught to the sack in time to retire John Henry Lloyd for the final

Quite a number of budding Tally Holmes and Edgar Browns are being developed on the courts out in Dr. Judi Hill park this summer. It is really a remarkable sight to see these youngsters in action.
Most of these young players are being trained under the supervision of Dr. B. M. Rhett, president of the Monumental Tennis Club of Baltimore. Dr. Rhett an ardent tennis fan and ranking number 13 in the American Association, takes great delight in coaching these boys in the intricacies of the great game. One of the most promising of these young stars is little Alfred Walker, who recently successfully defended his title of city champion up to the 14 year old class by defending Robert Diggs. Walker shows extraordinary court generalship for one of his tender years and plays a steady consistent game.
Walker is one of the few youngsters, and this applies to a number of the old liners also, who adhere to the rules and rules back of the foul line to avoid foot faults. For some who fail to observe the rules the following constitute

Cannady, Harrisburg Giant short stop, struck an umpire during a game several weeks ago when Harrisburg played here, and Dickson, right fielder for the same club almost came to blows with the umpire, but neither of these players has been fined or suspended. He signed some weeks ago when Harrisburg played Hilldale and an "ump" came in contact with one of the player's fists. We haven't heard of any body's being fined.
FANS HISS SHEWELL'S DECISIONS
Shewell is one of the most incompetent umpires we have ever seen work a game. Hundreds of fans were highly incensed over his "rotten" decisions while here. The man is not even on familiar terms with the rudiments of umpiring. If this is the brand of umpires Bill Dallas intends to work in the Eastern league, the league is doomed now. Shewell had it in for Wilson, Black Sox first baseman, and the first opportunity he got, which came in Harrisburg in back he had the Sox player arrested. He chained himself to his life. Wilson had nothing at all to do right in Harrisburg, but Shewell was out after revenge and tried to "get" Wilson as it was rumored he said he would do Baltimore.
For the good of the game, we suggest that Shewell and men of his type be banished from umpiring in the Eastern league, and we further suggest that Charlie Cromwell, a boy that has the respect of every player in the league be appointed.

Boxing Fans Would Approve Deposing Dempsey As Champ
Boxing Fans Would Approve Deposing Dempsey As Champ
Writing in the New York Herald,
Jack Lawrence, Sports writer, says the
boxing fans would approve if the Commission would depose Jack Dempsey as champion, and states that Dempsey and his brother would aid of Wills. The New York writer says:
If the New York State Athletic Commission should decide to regard Jack Dempsey as null and void so far as the heavyweight championship would probably have the hearty support of the country's boxing fans.
PUBLIC FED UP --------------
The public has always shown a very decided inclination to regard Jack Dempsey as the champion he was actually flattened for the count of ten in the ring.
But in this case the public appears to be thoroughly fed up with Jack Dempsey and with his manager, and with the public, probably unhappy any action the commission might see fit to take against the pair, regardless of how severe or drastic it might be. The public is just about convinced that both Dempsey and Kearns are not going to kill Willis, the challenger for the title.
DECLARE TITLE VACANT — —
Every move that they have made in the last year would seem to indicate this. If Dempsey doesn't come to reasonable terms in the immediate future the Boxing Commission be called in debarring his title vacated.
Other champions have been "set down" for less. In Dempsey's case there is no such involved situation facing the Boxing Commission as there was in other divisions become necessary, for one reason or another, to elect a new champion.
There are only two heavyweights in active competition today who are worthy of serious consideration. The other is Gene Tunney. The Boxing Commission would probably break Jack Dempsey's smug silhouette and should order a heavyweight elimination contest between these two.

Young Africans Worry Elders
New York.—There's a younger generation in the heart of the African jungle, and 1st frowned upon by the elder generation for its flippery and flapperious, just as the youth of this is squinted at with moral though envious eyes.
This news was brought to those shoes by Dr. Arthur L] Piper. Dr. Piper said that where he came from the older generation he had bent for "the dogs." They can't understand why the youngsters how before such strange gods as medicine, pants and straw hats. The young blades of Mwata-Wamyo wear trousers around their necks, which is the current

"The women," the doctor said, "wear a six by four foot cloth where it'll do the most good. The men wear two monkeys on their backs. Bantu stock, are very handsome, but are still heathens. They worship fetishes and obey witch doctors. Medicine and clothing are regarded with little favor."

SOX AND GIANTS TO
LOCK HORNS SUNDAY
Oscar Charleston And Harrisburg Giants To Oppose Black Sox In Doubleheader
BECKWITH NO LONGER
BLACK SOX MANAGER
Pete Hill, Former Manager,
To Assume Reins Until End
Of Present Season
To say that fur will fly at
Maryland park unday, when the
Black Sox hook up with Oscar
Charleston and his lawmakers
of Harrisburg in a double bill,
is to put it mildly.
John Beckwith will be in the game. His suspension was lifted this week and he left Monday morning. Beck is the manager of Clips. "Beck" is no longer manager of the Sox. Pete Hill is big boss until the season is over. "Beck" is just an ordinary ball player from now on. He will be the team'sains, according to Charlie Spedden.
The Climax
Things have been going from bad to worse until the climax was reached last week when the big Sox short stop slammed an "Ump" up in Harrisburg, which brought down the wrath of the league officials upon his head. His suspension followed suit, but Shea brought to have to play up now, to get back Sunday, "Beck" will have his big war club in working order and so will Wilson and "Heavy" Johnson.
Strong And Britt
Master Tarlton Strong is being tuned up for one of the trays, and it is most likely Britt and McClure will have a hand in the pie. For some reason, Britt's benders are holy terrors to the Harrisburg gang. They don't seem to fanthom his curves 'a tail.
Manager Charleston has a boy with a German name that has been going guns this season. They go on Gisanton, and he has one of the most wicked curves in Eastern society. Another one named Corbett is no slouch either. These two are expected to play a prominent part off Sunday's program.
"Ole Bellable"
Then there is "Ole Rellable" himself, Ben Taylor, who ranks in class by himself. It is a sight worth seeing to watch Ben cavot around the initial sack. He has been hitting around the 400 mark all season too. Spedden said 1,000 extra seats will be added to take care of the crowd, unimpire Shewell will not officiate.

Militant Labor Unions Is Plea Of Lemus
Page Eight
The National Alliance of Postal Employees forgot its intense, dissensions for fifty minutes while listening to Rienzi B. Lemus, president of the Brotherhood of Dining Car Employees--successful Negro railroad transportation union, give a very practicable address at the convention's opening session. Cleveland School has held the subject July 5th, the subject subject was Unionism, Militant, Practicable. But altogether Lovely.
Terming the late Samuel Gompers an altruristic opportunist, the speaker expressed great gratitude because typical labor in heat restrained from taking liberty to ask the audience to stand for one minute in silent tribute to the great leader, who was Negro labor labor when Negro labor had been employed. He said:
Gompers Knew
Mr. Gompers knew long ago that it was impossible to get the closed shop in industry as long as the shop was where the Federation of Labor. He also was fully conscious of the two formidable barriers to that devoutly consumable industry: the prey for Negro anathema but sick and death-benefit paying organizations. But he knew that white prejudice—for reasons would appear before the Negro—would rather pay 75 cents a month to get 10 increase in pay and overtime compensation than one increase in compensation to get his work when sleek. So he bided his time, awaited his opportunity and, at his death, the number of Negro workers was steadily increasing. Con-
Needling Protection
"Needling protection on the job, white postal employees organized and became the great American Federation of postal workers you out. You either had to also organize or remain the furthest behind for the dept to catch. You are now a member of his Recruitment long ways.
Both groups of postal employees organized for protection. Each essentially is a protected organization: labor, trade-union, wherefore the needful thing is to strictly adhere to the tenets of trades-unionism more practicable but altogether love-
Postmaster General
I was pleased, on your account and mine, to last night, hear the Postmaster General, Mr. New, call you. It would be great to know of your square determination to give you a square deal. And, yet, my thought swiftly traveled his predecessor twice, twice did he. Burleson, who did call you anything, but acted at any and all times so as to make you believe you were dogs; and actions speak louder.
And then I thought of how you came to have so fine a boss as Harry New. New, you know, you once友谁 by defeating Beveridge, who heat New for renomination and tor in Indiana over Beveridge. New, the democrats would have, and but for that New would still, he the Watson's colleague, not not have him at the head of the staff of Department. Political exigency, Brethren, not to eliminate of your wives and children on political exigency; depend on yourselves acting in cement as a labor union. AP
Militant Unionism
Milliant trades-unionism it is. With it the white men backed by the A. F. of L. put over wage increases in the country constrained the enjoyment of the United States to veto the pay increases in the province wherewithal to pay the increases, instead of disproval in the unionism that protected life, home, family, for a principle—the eight-hour-day. But the were not in the country for today. The employer anywhere who questions the justice, wisdom or economy of that basic work day. (Appearances.)
Steel Trust
Militant trades-unionism—the man that enabled Stone, brotherhood chief, nephew of the right-wing, trust, Gary of the New York Trust Company, to trust, archievement, to sit as equals as directors of a New York Trust Company. The brand that sat in motion the overwhelming force of public opinion which dayned in the mills, substituting the humane eight hour shift; which turned Gary from a farm worker to southeastern Europe in the maws of steel trust greed on his twelve-hour shifts into an itinerant preacher and him crudely abolished.
Fight-Pour-Day
: Militant trade-unionism—the game which enabled Austin B. Garrettson, leading the brotherhood hosts to put nine eight-hour-days on made-railroad management like it. That is what you want, brothers, and that is what you should have. You can get it for your presidents, general one only one but yourself getting in concert can get that militant trade-unionism which is your salvation, however, to be militant must be practicable. It can not be run like the Knights of Pythons. Elks and othe: great fraternity. Trade-unionism is your first obligation. Through it you get the means to pay all of your obligations to those organizations and to meet these ones before proceed them families.
Cliccitive Bargaining
You cannot go into collective bargaining with a lawyer. Fair wages. and reasonable wages. and reasonable wages. not able by courts. In collective bargaining, moral not legal questions are detected. Artificial arrests are not accused, as courts, by the legal rights of the parties. There. not what
Call VErnon 6016
you must, but what you should do, is determined. Man's greatest obligation is moral not legal; and it's the union found in strength of laboring men, acting in concert according to the tenets of militant and practical trades-unionism which forces all employers to perform their moral obligations to the employees, as promised in the meetings for collective bargaining. (Applause.)
Payment Of Dues
Practicable trades-unionism requires payment of dues for accumulation of defense funds, individually or collectively. You are accumulating funds. But if and when you require one of your number to pay attorney's fees for representation when in trouble, you are not properly functioning and seem to be primarily engaged in conducting a sick and death-benefit institution. (Applause).
Central Headquarters
Practicable trades-unionism IPSO FACTO demands a central and general headquarters, with some former postal fellows maintained by you in charge of the office of representation, whether on interpretation of a rule or in defense of some brother unjustly accused of a crime, or that tation has to be made to somebody at the Postoffice Department in Washington, then that person's officers also should be (Anaphase).
No Lawyers Needed
Not a single trades-union, from the Engineers' Brotherhood with 150 millions of defense militization, whose members receive fifty thousand dollars a year more in wages and even more in benefits, would get without our practicable trades-unionism, ever spent ten cents on a lawyer when seeking and getting high salary, or putting some fellow back to work. And to be perfectly frank with you, since I was invited to many meetings you will amount to much as long as you keep your president in New Orleans, the vice-president in Detroit, the treasurer in Detroit, the treasurer in Weedsbore, Ga., and scatter your Executive Committee from Detroit, Kansas City to Yaney, Miss.; Galveston to Buckleville, Conn. Practical trades-unionism is mobile on defense and is easy on offense. (Laughter.)
Present Slavers
Trades-unionism's bases are humanitarian; its concepts spiritual, and its organization are organization, as the means; prevention of industrial slavery—worse than chattier; the reason why of its constructive achievements in behalf of women and children; the reason why of its compensation acts, which prevent the entire burden of incapacitation accounted for upon the workmen and their dependents, for society has a common obligation those in employment.
Saved Labor And Capital
Trades-unionism saved labor and then saved capital, as capital was destroying labor at the source by workers who were laborer, not capital, which brought about the conditions whereby laborer also is becoming capital, indicated the laborer and company are sentenced about the country—each daily growing in prestige, influence and resources.
Do you know that one of the most prestigious business enterprises in this country is the railroad engineers' brotherhood, and that the reason for it is the fact that forty years ago the accident insurance industry premiums from the industry because of the hazard of the calling until engineers were forced to undowrite their own insurance? Well all of it is true. (Ap-
Boys Handed Cars
Do you know that less than a hundred years ago the mine cars in England were attached to the pit mouth by little boys and girls under twelve years of age, stripped to the waist, their clothing wrapped in leather harness, attached to the coal cars—work which now is performed by the mine workers in this practical practice? The Federation of British Miners (Applause.) took the sweat-shops of the York garment workers into decent place for women to serve? Trades-Union! So because of these things, unionism is practicable, but altogether lovely as well. It bears the same check and balance relationship to our society. To the ordinate branches of government bear to our system of government. Thank God for trades-unionism militant, practicable, but allowable.
No Wrangling
Erethren, let me impress you to do all things well, but save yourselves. You must evince eloquence seeking a common end and do not exhaust it in convention, wrangling among yourself so that signs indicate about to.
Change Officers
It probably is important that you change officers; it certainly is necessary that you change your team of government. You are still way behind the mindmess—don't let the devil mind you! You failed to do to the mindmess—catch you. Forget your personal feelings. Resolve to paraphrase Kliping: What matters race, creed or birth When, united, strong men stand in seeking a righteous but common end. Thou they come from the ends of earth?

Poetry
Wings were not made for drooping by the side; she was not made for ships that not on shore; as streams were made forever on to shore, so should the restless soul, forevermore. Seek out new trails and ever wander on. The trail that winds across the blue-rolling green of rolling hills; the feey, drifting clouds; The trail that tell of lovely things unseen. The birds that pass in fearless wading crowds. Stir the nonmadic blood that urges on! Restless, roving, ever searching, seeking What lies behind the hill, beyond the sea; Drinking the beauty of each, yet seeking Contentment, Satisfaction, — to be Find finding it alone in wandering.

THE QUESTION
Not whence we came or when or why or how.
Speak to the human soul in upward flight.
No past, no future...just the throbbing Impetts the upward struggle toward the light!
We came—let that suffice: some Might Pour!
Speak to thought or moulded us from something.
And made us masters of each passing Of each brief now, sole lord, heir, god and king.
He is a fool who says there is no God.
He is a fool who thinks he understands.
The mind of that Supreme who from some clod.
Utreated life and beauty for all lands.
One thing alone we know; that concerns us.
The soul might struggle in its feet-eting-ing.
To overcome the powers that oppose us.
To find some solace for man's poor sweating brow.
Let folks rave; the earth moves on nor heeds them!
Who in the fettering now, let truth lead them.
He has rocky path God's great window, chose.
TOUSSAINT L'OVERTURE
Wake the blood of song;
Wake the blood of fire;
Wake the blood of deed;
No battle fires;
Sweep the brave and brave
Flight of wrong;
Tell what a life he gave—
Tell it in song:
'Tis from embittered feet,
Tis from deceived heart;
The monster in death throes,
Groans his glory;
He felt the gallant chains;
He felt the bloody pain;
He shared her bitter pain;
The bloody thongs.
Though bound, he heard her cry,
And burst free.
The Spandler, conquered, fed
Before his face,
Before English in dread,
Skulled in disgrace,
Unmoved by breed or hate,
He stook the helm of sate:
"Freedom for all."
Haytai, he proud of him:
He mends their free:
Give us us men like him
Fear not, my Mother Race:
Such zons as he.
Shake his place,
Aloft and free.
THE FIRST WORKERS IN THE WORKING AREA
Br Henry F. Arnold
Ever and anon the editor of the newspaper is assailed by the public. The task which has been imposed upon the editor of the newspaper is the most stupendous task ever placed upon mortal stewardship. Why editors are criticised with such fervor, is because the public is unmindful of the unique position which they occupy among the intelligencia. News matter must be placed before the public in concrete form, irrespective of the irreparable harm John Jones has inflicted on John Jones, the erstwhile church leader per chance, gets into trouble. Mr. Jones' friends move about the neighborhood whispering about the lions of Jones until every family in the town is acquainted with his misfortune. This particular form of publicity seems to meet the approbation of the general public. It continues to grow. Miss Mary Brown, leader of the elite set, she too violates the law of GOD, and the law of the land, which is the abstract of the fundamental principles of the law of
A gossip starts and Miss Brown is ostracised by society. Both Mrs Jones and Miss Brown are accused by those who know them, even among their staunch friends, for violating the set ethics of society. Mrs Brown, however, hears about the misfortune of Jones and Miss Brown perchance they are hauled into court, where their trouble is aired before the judge and jury. public disgrace takes place, society wagging and squirting at the
BECKWITH SUSPENDED FOR BEATING UMPIRE SEWELL LAST TUESDAY
Harrisburg, Pa.—John Beckwith manager of the Black Sox was suspended, and fined for striking umpire Sewell here in Tuesday's game between the Sox and the Harrisburg Giants. It was after the game when the sox manager got out of the hue and gave the umpire a severe bracing. Umpire Sewell officiated in Baltimore last Sunday during the Sox-Bachrach Giants game and made a very poor impression on the fans with his one-sided decisions. The fine for striking an umpire in the Eastern League is $100, and the player is subjected to suspension. The punishment to Beckwith, Spennden said this week he would make an effort to have the suspension lifted. Sewell had "Ruth Ruth" Wilson arrested while in Harrisburg on the charge of assault. Wilson was released by the magistrate after it was determined that management expressed the opinion that Wilson's arrest was a frame-up.
The Sex will meet the Highbridge club, white, of New York, in a double attraction Sunday. Several big league stars are playing with the New York team, which is one of the best semi-pro clubs in New York.

thing, yet it has happened, and there is no redress. There is no complaint among the friends of Mr. Jones and Miss Brown so long as the matter doesn't appear in the columns of the newspaper. Alas, the newspaper chronicles the procedure in court and asserts the start of the affair. The rear goes up from the friends of the palp that the newspaper does not appear in the race than any other agency.
Those who are want to make this assertion are oblivious of the harm that Mr. Jones and Miss Brown have to an overt act, which brings disgrace on the race collectively. "The whole is greater than the part," Mr. Jones said. "Brown is guilty of helping to enassemble the moral fabric of the entire race, yet their friends insist that the newspaper which is a public utility has violated a sacred cow and has been guilty of their act." In order for the newspaper to function properly, it must be ever alert to print such news that will help to guard others from harm, and which bring disgrace upon society. If the newspaper is content to allow Mr. Jones and Miss Brown to violate the sacred laws of GOD, and when we will be able to violate the laws of society with impunity. News is news. The newspaper is dedicated to the task of printing news to newspaper places the name of no one person in its columns out of sheer malice. In order for the newspaper to function properly, it must how to tie and let the chips full of the mess.

MENS WAGES EFFECT DOMESTIC RELATIONS
Because Negro working men do not make enough to support their wives, it was found by the Women's Bureau of the U. S. Department of Labor that of 2,000,000 married women working in gainful occupations, Negro women comprised one third, which percentage is much larger in proportion than the Negro race in the total population of the country.
But in agricultural occupations, Negro women took the lead in all occupations common to agricultural life, actually outnumbering the native born white women. Three-fifths of the women are between 25 and 40 years old, and must their "fisure" time in caring for homes and children.

Bedtime Stories In A Pullman Smoker For Grown-Ups
(A Lincoln News Service)
A grave countenanced gentleman, who might have been forty-five years of age, was seated near the window, as I entered the smoker. Between his silent puffs on an old-fashioned pipe, I could hear him muttering to himself—"Poor Joe—Poor Joe," and then a feeling of pain would seem to overcome him and he would gaze out into the darkness. "Here is a chance," I said to myself, "to perform a little good Samaritan work. Here is some guy who has probably had a run of hard luck. Perhaps he's failed in business, or had a death in his family, I'll warm up to him, and maybe I can spread a little sunshine." "Stranger, would you like to look at the evening paper?" I ventured to ask him, after nursing up myself to break the ice. "No, thank you," came the quiet reply.
"Perhaps you'd like to rest your pipe a while and replace it with a new one, and replace it quickly, as I offered him a perfecto.
"Very kind of you, sir," he replied. "but I guess I'll stick to the old one. I don't know if I remind me of old times of men."
This was about enough for me, I thought to myself. Here was a fellow to whom I had sworn the bond of friendship to continue his silent ride, why I should worry. I was I crossed my legs, blew some smoke rings, and made myself content, when, to my surprise, the stranger broke his silence.
"Say," he almost whispered, in a half husky voice: "Have you ever met a friend you ever had—one with whom you'd split your last dime, and whod let you have his last penny, if you needed it?"
"I don't know, as I ever had any friend quite as close as that," I answered.
"I don't wonder at that, for I've always been going to part company soon, he continued in a sad tone.
"Why, where is he now, and why you soon lose him?" I asked as well.
"He's ahead, in lower 3, and I guess he's on his last run. I'm trying to make Colorado with him last three months if I could get him out there in the mountains. God knows, I'm trying to get him there. I'll never get him there, like the life my fault that he hog sick, the stranger added, with a sigh. "You see, I'm a promoter," he continued: "and when I grabbed some timber land in Florida or a speculation scheme, Brown or I wanted to have associated with me. We were kids together, and went through school as buddies. After I graduated, I a lumber moll expert. I wired him to come back from Oregon and go to Florida with me. Well, Joe came on, and we hit it for Florida. Well, we had work we'd made $0,000. It wasn't worth while, though. For Joe lost his health. He didn't like it. Our work were too much for him, but he was too game to quit," concluded the stranger, as a tear rolled down his cheek. "But what did he worry about?"
"Well, you see those fellows down South weren't used to seeing a colored lumber foreman and expert mill hand, and—"

"That Is My Home"
There's a glow of satisfaction in the heart of the man who lives in a home and call it his home and call it his home. It is the satisfaction of his life to his community; that his family occupies a place of his home; and Add to these advantages the important one of providing a home to owning a home becomes a duty a man owes to himself the way his family. It is plain to those who read the 'Real Estate' columns, whose valuable property is advertised. Begin your investigation until you find what suits you.

The doctor started straightway into deep research to find out more about the treatment and its connection with the root of the hair. After a few months, the doctor discovered a certain herb, which when incubated with certain chemicals, and mixed together with pure Cocanut Oil and California Pine Tar, would produce a healthy, luxurious growth.
After finding that the experiment had proved successful in ninety-nine out of one hundred cases, Dr. Delano placed his preparation on the market under the name of Dr. Delano's Coco-Tar Hair Grower. From that day until the present time the sale has been of phenomenal and uninterrupted

unders Dr. Delano started in on his new case with a determination to bring about satisfactory results; and at the end he was able to prove that not only the blasted but over the bruised肿 had grown larger. A remarkable degree that it aroused the curiosity of both her family and Dr. Delano; so much so that, the doctor questioned what was it that she had been using on during the treatment. Her answer was: that she had only been using the ointment prescribed by the doctor.

Home
A conquerer in new edits is Samuel White, of 1918 Madison avenue, a former citizen of Churchland, n. near Norfolk, who owns a honoring loft of 200 blooded plaques. The bird fancier has been flying since 1913, having made his first attempt in the game in his home town
When he arrived in Baltimore four years ago White brought his feathered charges with him, and has added to them regularly. Today he is the possessor of a stock of hens that might well be cewed in his collection are the gale of the finest game in the world. Dragons, White Chesters, Blue late Homers and others.
Homing Clubs
Owners of homing pigeons form organizations, called flying clubs for the purpose of mutual helpfulness and competition in the sport. Since Mr. White was unfamiliar with the city, he did not organize a free organization until he read of it in a story in the Afro-American.
Fly From Macon
Because of this lack of knowledge he connected himself with a white club on invitation, and now his birds in competition with them, frequently the club in competition entered his birds twenty in number. His pigeons were released with others of the club members at 4 a.m., in Macon, tia, and arrived the same day in Baltimore at 6:15 a.m. in Macon, and were known as "mee day" birds and are known to bird fanciers as the Yankee. Doodle variety.
Winners Given Prize
More astonishing is the intelligence that the winners arrived from their flight, an approximate distance of 500 miles in good condition and were able to partake of a hearty dinner on their return. These homers are practical youngsters, being born only last year. The performance of the pair captured first prize which consisted of a 25 pound ham, 25 pounds of sugar and a barrel of flour. Had the owner entered a pool which was formed, he would have also been richer in cash. However, he sportsman, and bird lover pure and simple, and refuses to gamble on the performances of his winged family.
Bathe Dally
Like Mr. Dulah Frazier of Etting street, another homing pig owner, the man's love for his pets, is inconceivable to anyone not meeting them. For instance the care which is bestowed upon them. Each evening and morning they are liberated for exercise. They stretch their wings and return for a supper of corn, hempfeed, peas, or other poultry dishes. Gravel and other shells are sometimes used for indigestion. A pigoon become unruly, he is killed and not permitted to ruin the rest of the flock.
Is Physician
Pigeons like human beings, become ill at times. The owner is their physician and pharmacist, and after his diagnosis of the malady, he prescribes the medicine, administers it, and nurses the patient back to health. Their patient an important part of "pigeon daily." The tui is a large pan in which they take turns in cransing themselves daily.
Lore For Owners
Mr. White has the smiling kindly demonator of most lovers of children and animals, whom folk say are generally to be trusted. At any rate these blooded birds seem to be perfectly content in their habitat, which should mean something. Didn't two return home after a 500-mile flight?

A fire, which threatened for a time to cause a serious panic at the Baltimore City jail, completely gutted the furniture factory where 48 convicts were at work shortly before noon Wednesday. All of the prisoners in the factory were conducted to safety before the fire got headway, some of them being, however, trapped for a time on the third floor. Prisoners in a hospital fifty feet away from the burning building were prevented from leaving their beds only by the calm assurances of physicians who stayed in this department during the excitement. The fire which started in the basement, completely destroyed the contents before being extinguished.

Exhibition materials, linen shades, mannequins, basketry, woodwork, woven handings. All costumes worn in the pageant were made by the girls. Mrs. Fortune, of 1308 Madison avenue, was principal.

At the closing, held Friday evening, dramatizations of the following events Collinth Moses in the Rufushrs, Mothers Bring Babies to Christ, The Apostles and David, the Shepherd Boy, A Memory Scripture drill elicited much praise. Miss Conliff, supervisor of Dally Vacation Bible Schools, visited the school during the session. Six students ranked among the best. Four representatives of the United Women of Maryland, sponsors of the work, witnessed the exercises. The pastor, the Rev. H. W. Thomas, praised highly the results obtained by Misses Clara Thompson and Gertrude Fisher, the latter principal of the school, the teachers, and other members of the faculty. Exhibits consisted of woodwork by the boys, sewing by the larger girls, and kindergarten drawings.
The faculty of Eonon Baptist presented 110 in their closing exercises; also held last Friday evening, the completion of five weeks. The program consisted of: A Gospel Alphabet by the kindergarten, a Bugle Song, by the smaller boys; Joseph and His Brethren, dramatized by Mr. Anthony Walker, was enacted by the larger boys. Exhibits consisted of a large array of dresses, basketry, and reed-woven. A distinctive feature in the display was a doll house, made by the larger boys. It was three by four feet, and three feet high, and was completely furnished by articles made by the pups, the furniture, etc., being made by the girls. Mrs. Levy, Supervisor of Baptist Churches, was present, and made remarks at the close of the program. The Pastor, Mrs. Levy, made a brief address. The faculty was headed by Mrs. A. J. Parve.
Sharp Street enrolled 115 during the session, and closing exercises were held Friday evening. The program was open by a Health Play, "Following the Milk Cans." A feature was the telling of Bible stories by four girls who stepped from an immense Bible. Mrs. Gillis, Mrs. Escobar, Miss Lillian and the United Women of Maryland, were present. Exhibits were many and varied, consisting of benches, bird houses, electric lamps, book racks, neck racks, coat sleeve ironing boards, candle stick holders, shoe shining equipment boxes, made by the boys, dresses and other apparel by the girls.

To the Editor:
In reference to the case of Harrison Dodd, Elizabeth Dodd, in which Harrison Dodd, our client, was granted a divorce A Vincent Matrimonii from Elizabeth Dodd, we wish to make the following statement in reference to the reports, that George Fatty was named as correspondent in said case, as was no correspondent mentioned in any of the proceedings by us. In fact, desertion was alleged as the cause for the divorce, hence there would be no necessity for naming of any correspondent as it is well known that correspondent is charged. No adultery was alleged by the plaintiff in this case, nor did the plaintiff, in his testimony before the Examiner, mention any correspondent. The plaintiff did mention the defendant had been seen talking to a man named "WHITIE". The testimony is a matter of record in the Circuit Court of Baltimore City, and I make this statement after a careful examination of all the pleadings, testimony, declarations, which are parts of said record.
We feel that, in fairness to Geo. Watty, named in the newspaper article of last week, reporting the case of Dodd vs. Dodd, we should make this explanation, which we hope will convince all parties concerned that the divorce was not procured as a result of any misconduct on the part of Mrs. Elizabeth Dodd, with Mr. George Watty, or any one else.

Thoughts Of The Founder
Selected from papers written by the tutor of the APO-AMERICAN.
"The Nero journal" has always been devoted to show the best side of the race, and to its credit may be said that in but few cases has it been venal. It has brought best that there is in the race and has held it up to public gaze.
"In season and out of season it has fought the battles of the race and has always been ready to give a reason, and a good one for the faith was in it."
Runnin' Wild
The best incentive to disrespect law is an ignorant, discourteous police officer in a colored neighborhood. The Northwestern section of the city has some of the best citizens in Baltimore and some of the worst. Some 26,600 colored people live in a crowded neighborhood policed by officers of the Northwestern District under the direction of Captain Charles Luster. From the complaints that have pured into the AFRO-AMERICAN office for the past year, either this is the worst section of the city or police station or we have no hesitation in saying we believe the latter.
Policemen who are drawing down low taxpayers, money stalk the streets as if they were doing the caju a favor in holding on to their job instead of earning their bread and butter. They walk into homes without a warrant; they are rude and loud in public places where the proprietor happens to be colored, they beat citizens without prosecution until the streets run with blood, and before the magistrates they lie without conscience.
This is not an indictment of the police force of Baltimore, there are districts like the Northeastern, which in many respects is a model of gentleness and courtesy. Police officers of the Northwestern under Captain Lusner could go to school for a month down in the Northeastern District and learn that the first requisite of an officer of the peace is not to be a roughneck.
This is not an indictment of the whole force of the Northwestern district. Many of them are in, pollent and discriminating. But it is the few like Officer Frank Picha who are giving Baltimore police a bad name and creating bad feelings between the races for which there is no jurisdiction.
Officer Frank Picha, saw Dr. J. A. White, a dentist, on Madison avenue with what appeared to be a white woman in his car. He, hopped on the running board of the car, stuck his dashlight in the lady's face and wanted to know whether she was white or colored.
In the first place if the policeman had a brain of sense, he would know that the race of the woman in the dentist's car was none of his business. There is no law against racing in the same automobile.
In the second place had he been a gentleman, he would not have used his authority as a police officer to insult another man before his great recessivity of his color.
In the third place the AFRO can find 50 women on Officer Frank Ficha's beat whom he can look at in daylight and be unable to determine if they are white or colored.
Police like this are a disgrace to the city. They are bullets, not peace officers. Or: White has done well to ask Police Commissioner Gather if this type of man has his approval.
100 Per Cent
William Jennings Bryan died the other day, just after he had started a country-wide movement to throw the science books out of the schools and substitute the Bible. If he had been on the other side, many people would have seen in his death a special act of Providence.
His body was brought from Dayton, Tennessee to Washington in a storm; rain fell during the funeral the interment in Arlington Cemetery that little was heard of the funeral services broadcasted by radio. During close to the day's proceedings, crosses were placed in several locations of courthouse inscriptions like this "IN MEMORIAM OF WILLIAM JENKLASMAN."
He did not know where Mr. Bryan was but at the gate of heaven he will be in St. Peter, a Jew. inside he will be in the cathedral and foreigners, and if by chance he should happen to get DAVID BELOW, he will be apt to find that Beetzelbush has colored blood.

Lemonade
When we dust off your memory a trifle, we'll wager that you can see yourself in this picture.
A barefoot boy with plenty of stone bruises, a dry goods box under a big tree in the front yard and near the road, several empty glasses, a pitcher of lemonade, and there you were on a hot afternoon, you and your chum, engaged in your first business venture.
Business was brisk; we were selling two glasses of lemonade for a nickel but our prosperity of course invited competition. One afternoon when we opened up for business we gazed across the street and down went our hearts to our bare feet, because slapping us right in our faces was a big pasteboard on which was rudely scrawled "3 big glasses of lemonade for 5 cents."
We looked at each other in dismay; we could see our trade leaving us and our business on the rocks. I finally said to my chum, "Let's go down and talk with the grocer who sells us our lemons; maybe he will take back the two we have on hand and then we can close up shop." Our grocer said, "You boys go right back to your store and instead you buy lemons of good quality and you'll find that people would have two glasses of good lemonade for five cents, than three glasses of slop at the same price."

The Other Side
Here is a story without comment: Down in Memphis, recently, Mr. Thomas of the 22 river bonnet manning company of 32 river bonnetmen, the Steamer Norman, carrying a load of delegates to an Engineer's Convention on sightseeing trail from Memphis to New Orleans, his motor boat happened near. He picked them up one by one and brought them safely back to land. He took them to a safety officer to inform the driver, a switchman, lost his right arm and leg underneath a freight train. He served his commitment to safety and inform the officer overlook him. Hurry were sent for an ambulance. One came up. Andrew was colored "Too bad we don't haul colored." He was suffering with a grown. They sent for another ambulance. Andrew was bleeding and weak. The ambulance came. "For white only." Finally a colored ambulance was called. An hour passed, it came and carried Anchorage. "The doctor said 'We could have saved him had we gotten hold of
Guilty
Watt Wall was found guilty of rape down in McDowell County, West Virginia last week, and sentenced to be hanged.
His was a trial by jury, not by mob. The proceedings were orderly. Wall had the benefit of the best counsel. There was no public clamor in the press or in the courtroom.
FIVE COLORED AND SEVEN WHITE JURYMEN listened to the evidence and the law and found him guilty. A just judge sentenced him to death.
Everybody in McDowell County is satisfied with the outcome. Whites are satisfied, a crime was committed, and the criminal caught and punished. Colored are satisfied. They are not MERE VIEWS OF THE LAW; THEY ARE PART OF THE LAW FORCING AGENCY. They know the prisoner got a fair trial. They were on the inside of the jury room and helped give it to him.
Thowin' Stones
Bert Williams in his famous sermon on "Thoulin' Stones" has his first book, "Don't Stop Throwing Stones at Him," he don't stop throwing stones at him he is going to start and throw them right back. "When I start to throw in friends I miss no more," he says. "The missive fuses to institute segregation in public affairs on the campus to which the public is invited. Of the 'Southern Workman,' the school's official monthly, just off the press, has not a word to say about the matter which has been the subject of that philanthropy have been appealed to not to complete the gifts they promised the Hampton Institute. The philanthropy have been made and quoting letters of endorsement from the Clark Howell of the Atlanta Ga. Constitution and assistant attorney general of Mississippi."
Booker T. Washington asked what he was going to do about answering his question. "He was going to saw wood." Mr. Washington got his training at Hampton, which by the way is still a tough one by the way to defeat an enemy is to ignore him.

Putting More "Hell" Into War
These who know anything about front line tremenbs, liquid force, and phantom children will be interested in announcements of recent inventions which yill put more hell into our lives of curbability or bygone days. First the "death ray" and now the "fire ray", which it is said the effect will be to, write out instantly many square miles of life, and claims that his instrument of destruction, when perfected, will make helpless any opposing defender.
The spirit of war is still the most dominating influence affecting human beings in this world. opposing war with peace, smashing the enveloping panther still manifests itself along with the religion, education and human development. The war is still the leading nations in this the top
The only difference between us and the fighting beasts of the jun, gie is the efficiency with which we kill, the onesidedness with which the struggle and the relentless hatred that follows and breeds more
If civilization is not rescued before many more wars, we might well contemplate the time when the inventive genius of some small nation might put them on a mission of some death demeaning machine which will wilt and other human being die of the earth. WE WILL HAVE PEACE.

I AM A RADICAL
This is the only label that I will allow anyone to hang onto me.
I have been called Socfallst, Bolshevik, Infidel, Damn Fool, and a host of other things uttered with a hiss and emphasized by the beating of tables, the pounding of Bibles; and with an acridity that really makes the victim rejoice and be exceedingly glad that he is alive, determined, in bondage to no man, group or powers and wanting nothing but what he can earn by honest productive labor. Seeking neither political, social nor economic favor or preferment the writer of this column cannot be sacred or intimidated.
Any Negro—living in these United States—if he speaks the truth, if he thinks just for an instant, will and must be a RADICAL. For what is the radical and what has he always been? THE RADICAL IS NOW AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN THE INDIVIDUAL WHO—in the language of Thomas Huxley—was “Willing to sit down before fact as a little child and follow fact wherever it might lead, to whatever abysses.” “You must do this,” says Huxley, “or you will learn nothing.”
Huxley, in these words gave the meaning of the radical. The individual who wrote with nothing FACTS. The radical will not accept bunk, ignorance, superstition nor intellectual swain. The radical will not accept the fact that it comes, no matter how high or powerful the authority. The radical sees no reason why he should accept the radical because he is a "big man," the word of Mr. Coolidge because he is "president, the opinion of Dr. Forskid because he is a great man," conservative, liberal, reactionary and radical must stand the test of the ordeal by intellectual fire. There are people proportionately fewer Negroes who care for this sort of ordeal. This is what makes one's neck sick: to hear some man's with the steel of a machine, chasing out the word "Forskid" with all the fervor of a Roman-off, a Georgia cracker campmeeting preacher or a West Virginia coal op-
The Negro does this sort of thing because he is still a slave. His body is free but his mind is not. He is shot at by him whites and tommy shot at by him whites and blacks who profit financially therefrom. This white bunk and black bunk keeps the mass and energy of the Negro in NEFFICIENT PAUPERS. He gets it on Sunday from ninety per cent of his ministers; he gets it on Sunday from ninety per cent of his white employees; he gets it around ejection time from ninety-nine and one-half per cent of the white and black men who come, often for the first time, into his neighborhood to tell him that the G. O. P. is his rock and his sword from the horde of lecturers, uippers, race leaders, pulpit orators that are always willing to hand out advice on race progress at fifty per cent per hour or salvation at ten dollars per rally.
As for me: I AM A RADICAL.
A Man Without

If you have ever been to South Carolina, you have heard of the Bomar family. Distinguished along many lines for several generations.
members of this family have long front of Negro pro- progress in the South
PETER B.
Up in the Piedmont section of New York, the largest buildings, including seven cotton mills, College, and other structures, stand as a monument to the construction of the marina, the contract-
Wm. N. Jones genius of Tom Bomar, the contractor.
Thirty years ago Tom Bomar could usually outbid most white contractors in the 'Peldman section. Under his colored foreman white and colored masons and carpenters worked without friction.
Members of that big family, both men and women are now scattered. This writer, however, "bumped into a member of that family whose story make interesting reading." With an income sufficient to invest in actual necessities of life, he has "seen countless of this country." Trained in a large university, observant and reflective, he has reached the crossroads where a man takes stock of the civilization he lives with the level. His color permission him to be a soldier of fortune, now white, now colored, sometimes an East Indian he learned the elements of the American meningue. He has been quite successful.
After nearly fifty years of life, he says, "I have come to the experience of being able and impelling influence in a man's life is his basic love of race of country. Without carrying on some group civilization, we lose our hearings. This to my mind is the dominant weakness of the Negro group. Civilization moves in cycles. Sometimes in the care of one racial group, we lose our ability to carry on the proud Romans held the torch followed by Europe and America. Somehow I am not so sure I can carry on with its power, luxury and distorted human relations, is not on the verge of decay. I will jump on the band wagon and take his fate, or we may fashion a new race and a new civilization an inner foundation. But above all we need the incentive of a deep and abiding love of race, for a man without a race we cannot carry on a man without a country.
Putting Religion
Jim Roach, editor of the Columbia, S. C. Recorder-Indicator, one-time secretary to Congressman John Conyers, colored representatives from the Palmetto State, says putting religion into politics may be alright, but when a scheming politician drags politics into religion, that reaching the low end Jim Roach knows something a bout politics and also something about ministers. Once he became writer for the South Carolina was the Republican machine and the next most rotten thing was the brazen馒奉y of "some secondrades who call themselves ministers" ministers and there are bad ones like in all other vocations, but the worst of them is ministers and DIVIDE AND COMBINE a few dollars at each election campaign. Out in the 17th ward in this city there are enough colored voters to elect all race officials to section 13 of the law that houses have of this happening because they know that they can put a few dollars in the hands of a few leaders, and DIVIDE AND COMBINE THE COLORED VOTERS
The proportion of colored and white Republicans in South Carolina is 10 percent, 100 colored, yet that one white man has been able to divide that one hundred people plotted against each other that he has kept the religions in his hand. It is this power that has made the political power of 5,000,000 Jews, who vote as a unit when necessary, one hundred times more potent that one million men, who vote in factions.

PROFESSOR FUDGE
AMOS HOKUM SAYS
Defense League Called To Action
The Defense League is an organization of which hardly ninety per cent of the population of Baltimore knows anything. But this does not keep the organization from being a good organization. Few people know how, where and when to make lots of money. This will deny that money is a good thing. Let me impress upon you the value of this Defense League. Its value can not be estimated in dollars and cents because of the lack of knowledge of pose of this organization is to defend the Negro in Maryland and especially in Baltimore whenever and wherever he needs defense. One knows, the Defense League has not been over zealous, but it must be admitted that that organization was responsible for the action in court relative to raising the money for the defense, doing likewise to the colored teachers.
A Dark Situation Is Reported
This one action makes the organization worthy of support and commendation. However, with this much appreciation he must defend League is out of work. The idea is the League cannot find anything else to do.
Army mind the only reason the League can't find anything else to be because it has not looked deep into a dark situation. Possibly some people would condemn it for that reason. The proper thing to do would be to call its attention to injustices and oppressions, being satisfied the League, would look into these matters if it knew about them.
Johns Hopkins
Trustee Board
Any one newspaper would be inadequate to outline the things the Defense League could take up. Therefore it is well to take one at a time. First of all, will call the League's trustees. John Hopkins was a merchant who lived some years ago in Baltimore. Starting out in lifeffeness he was able to amass a fortune
He was not like *some* tightwands, however. He desired that posterity should get the benefit of his "bucks" and his foresight. Therefore, before he died he made several bequests, and when he did go to death he gave him other than money, a will which is as plain as the nose on your face.
Hospital Intended For The Poor
The gentleman had appointed a board of trustees and in their hands the man who had given him out his wishes. It would hardly be worth while here to go into the minute details of his will, but I will call him Mr. Barker, and the pathological old gentleman had to say.
It appears the late Johns Hopkins was much interested in the health and

The "Always E-Z Corset Company" made a success to such a procedure:
2. Created an elastic demand.
3. Stayed with their dealers.
4. Took up with some good capitalists.
5. Covered the territory well.
6. Put forth a straight-laced proposition having no strings attached.
7. So their figures look pretty good.

well being of the population of Maryland. So much interested in these people was he that he lot an enormous sum of money in order that a man be able to pay for the疼 and please understand that the emphasis is on the poor. The gentleman stipulated that, it should be free to the poor, meaning that there should be no charge whatsoever for the limited number of pay patients might be taken in, in order that more revenue might be available for the poor.
High Charges
And Segregation
Today, if you go to Johns Hopkins it will cost you seventeen dollars and fifteen cents to stay there a week, unless you are willing to swear to Almighty God that you are a pauper and that you do not know where the next meal is coming from.
Further than this, in the will Mr. Hopkins mentions that the doctors in charge might separate the female patients so where does he mention anything about separating people on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.
All these persons who have had any business with the institution have been carried out. Those who do not happen to know, I am informing them now.
Colored Orphan Fund Diverted
He it far from me to send the Defense League up against Johns Hopkins Hospital. — I know that the League could not be defeated against it, but he it remembered that Johns Hopkins talked about other things in his will. The philanthropic old gentleman had a kindly place in his heart for colored children, for which reason he made a provision in his will. He stipulated that a place should be bought which would be suitable for a colored orphan asylum. That twenty thousand dollars a year should be made available for this institution. This institution was started, but whether or not twenty thousand dollars was asked for, I am not sure. But I do know that this institution has been closed and that there is now no such place as the Johns Hopkins Orphan Asylum for Colored Children. The place has been closed because there are no colored orphan children.
Fudge Urges That League Get Busy
What I want the Defense League to do is to find out what honorable white gentlemen are holding that money, and when it does find out go to the League and stop from diverting our money. The League can also make the Board of Trustees come up with twenty thousand dollars for earl and every other gentleman to existence. When the League has done this I will offer another suggestion.

Who Would Have Treated "Aunt" Clara Mean With a Bankroll Like This?

The white minister who preached the funeral sermon took as his text: "Well done thy good and faithful servant." All of the pall bearers were white. The former owners tenderly cared for her when she was ill, and had charge of all of the funeral arrangements.

Mr. Bryan dealt for the most part with general conditions as they appertain to the normal man. He never had any special relation to the Negro as such. When the South demanded Mr. Bryan's attitude on the Negro question, it was here that the great commoner fell from the high moral pedestal which a life devoted to human rights had built for himself. He compromised with principle in order to placate an irrasible political constituency.
This is the one blotch on his career which his friends and well wishers would like to have blotched out.
William Jennings Bryan,
The Great Commoner
William Jennings Bryan is dead. He passed suddenly in a peaceful manner, and his touches on his great argument in defense of the Christian faith. In my last week's release I had quite a good deal to say about his religious movement.
When those words were written, the great commoner was alive with the prospect of many years of strenuous work. He was the first to copy was in type before the writer heard of his death. But on re-reading what I then said of the living Bryan I would not now not at all be surprised. Indeed my approval of this pre-mortem appreciation is enhanced in the light of post mortem reflection gone to the great beyond. He has set the guage of battle for belief and unbelief. He has fought a good fight; he has finished his work and will still be waged about the phrases of his formulation: "Shall we give up the Rock of Ages for the age of the rocke?" He showed the career of Mr. Bryan for thirty years ever since he made himself famous by his great speech before the Democratic convention in 1890. He began to speak in public and phrases. Perhaps no two more telling phrases have in recent times been added to English speech than those of his making on the "Cross of Gold," and the man of words, rather than deeds.
Talk is the greatest thing in the world. In the beginning was the word. The idea must first be formulated in speech before it can be translated in discourse. There is a disposition today to decriere more talk as being cheap. It is through talk that men's minds are enlightened. The purpose must be formed and the energies aroused before any task can be effectively executed. Of talk Mr. Bryan did his share, and more than his share. He addressed with his voice more auditors than has ever befallen the lot of man. He has been devoted to diverse tones. He was devoted to the welfare of the common man. I sat next to him on the session room and the announcement address at Howard University. We joined in running chat for ten or fifteen minutes. I asked him what he considered the secret of that he always guaged his discourse to the intelligence of the common man. He was himself of the common people. He had the heart, mind and conscience of those whose mouth poke and rattle he was.
The common people heard him gladly because they recognized in him the echo of their own voice. He espoused many dogmas of a poetic nature, which he were discredited and discarded in time. But never throughout his whole career did he ever utter a single word or espouse any cause that he did not believe inured to the advantage of the ordinary people. He was well adapted to become the spokesman of the common man. His mind was of a purely everyday nature, but he never devoid of originality which would tempt him to ascend unto the height where the masses could not follow him. He freely admitted that he had never ignored the advice already proposed in order to give them currency and acceptance. His oratory was of the even flowing kind. He was no spectacular orator, as Brutus was, exerted in his reflections upon the title he spoke right on. The people heard him glibly for thirty years and would have been equally glad to hear him thirty more had it been his life to live so long. He told the title of the great composer.
Advocated Many Great Reforms
It would be difficult to make a catalogue of the reforms which he espoused and which he opposed. The free and unlimited college of silver in the ratio of sixteen to one was the battle cry of the campaign of 1896. The referendum, initiative and recurrent election of senators, the income tax, the enfranchisement of women, anti-imperialism, prohibition and primary elections are among the many reforms which he lived for. He ran three times for the presidency on the Democratic ticket only to be three defeated. Indeed the American people are not pro-immigration, the chief magistracy, Calboun, La and LaFollette failed because they possessed too many positive ideas. But failure was but the stepping stone to the chief magistracy. Would Bryan have done in the white House? He probably would have made a minerable failure, just as Thomas Jefferson did in his second administration. It is rarely given to one man to succeed, both in word and
Bryan belonged 'on the platform. The greatest mistake of his life was to become Secretary of State, in which high position, the natural promptings of his soul were estopped by official commands. He must have experienced great relief when a difference with his chief caused him to resign. And yet there is something about human nature that craves to be defeated. Bryan was made most by defeat. Mr. Bryan dealt for the most part with general conditions as they appertain to the normal man. He never had an idea of what he was going to be. When he said that you can deny human rights but you cannot take them away, he was indulging in a universal affirmative. His overt rejection of the general form of liberty and unrestricted rights of man to the pursuits of life, liberty and happiness caused many of his political supporters, especially in the South to question his loyalty to decide what section in dealing with the Negro. More than once he was called to ac-

Added Mr. Bryan's attitude on
here that the great commoner

or himself. He compromised
lacate an irascible political
count for the broadness of the truth
which he proclaimed. He was suing
the South for votes. No good politician will offend his supporters.
Compromised With Southern Views
They demanded Mr. Bryan's attitude on the Negro question. It was here that the great commonwealth of the United States, which a life devoted to human rights had built for himself, he compromised with principle in order to placate an irascible political constituency. Cleveland before him had failed at the same point. There is no telling what political ambition will compel mortal breasts to do. This is the one blotch in his career which he never wished would like to have hobbled out. In all of the memorials to Mr. Bryan and in all of the eulogies he gave to his wishers would like to have hobbled out. How a single defect mars the whole picture? There is little consolation to be sought in his career. African doggers when the political battle rages. Some seek the shelter in silence. John W. Davis, the forgotten candidate for the presidency, none of all eminent politicians, none of African doggers, arrange to face this question on all fours. Let us pass by this serious lapse with a mantel of charity impelled by the knowledge that he was no worse than the knowledge that when forced to declaration
In politics and economics, Mr. Bryan was a progressive. Indeed as I said in a previous release, he and Roosevelt and La Loftelette are chief critics of progressive tendencies our country now discloses. In all except religion he was a progressive, but in theology he was a rejectionary. In politics he was a orthodox according to the religion he looked to the past. In this he was only superciliously inconsistent. In all of these things he had at heart the good of the common. The man is orthodox according to the traditions of the past. Any new fangled interpretation of spiritual values upsets his composure and leaves him without a solid and consistent belief against evolution his chief concern was that the faith of the aver age man be not undermined. A fallacy of the head is that fault of the head was as absolutely sincere in 1886 when he advocated sixteen to one, as he was on the day of his death when pleading for the acceptance of tradition against science. In both instances he had at heart the man in the middle step of life.
Sincere But Lacked Current Knowledge
One is amazed how a man of college training and with such wide opportunity to relate himself to the intellectual world has been able to defend earnestness advocate an interpretation which most men of his class and culture have long since thrown to the discard. The only explanation is his sincere belief in what he advocate is good for the bulk of mankind. He was what might be called a moral pragmatist. To him a thing was good when it was good for man. He was a human being with human value, therefore he felt it to be his duty to combat it to the death unless it could establish its absolute virtue. As long as we are mankind, we could the champion of faith, entertain the theory that compliments ennoble the common man?
His Work An Enduring Monument
The press of the country has extolled the virtues of Mr. Bryan as has been the case with few men in recent times. This is because he has overcome the obstacles to the heart of man than perhaps any man of the overlapping centuries. His faults and mistakes are those of the head which we all make, and are therefore prone to forgive. A great weakness from among us. We shall probably never look upon his like again. In him faith, simplicity and sincerity met. And so we farewell to his departed spirit. The good man has a year. His faults and imperfections have already been forgotten.

"I got very thin—I went from 126 pounds down to less than 100. My mother had long been a user of Cardui and she knew what a good medicine it was for this trouble, so she told me to get some and take it. I sent to the store after it and before I had taken the first bottle. "My side hurt less and I began to improve in health. ... The Cardui acted as a fine tone and I do not feel like the same person. I am so much better. I am well now. I have gained ten pounds and am still gaining. My sides do not hurt. "I wish every suffering woman knew of Cardui." NC-160

You Too Can Have Beauty
"I was not always as attractive as I am now. My hair, which should be wavy and greatest charm, used to be coarse and unruly due to dandruff, and my face was sallow and often bore ugly pimples.
"I had heard Exelento Quinine Pomade praised on all sides and got a package and began using it as directed. The results were as astonishing. My dandruff all left me and my hair began to get soft and silky that it was a delight to comb it."
"Then I began to use Exelento Skin Soap on my face and the results were equally amazing. All blemishes disappeared and my face became soft, smooth and beautiful."
Exelento Quinine Pomade and Exelento Skin Soap may be obtained for only 25¢ each at all drug stores or be sent, postpaid, upon receipt of price.

Kelly Miller All Man
taken on the political issues of the day have stamped him as a man with a forward looking policy with altruistic motives and unselfish interest in the kind of a man who typifies all of the manly and noble attributes that our leadership should embody. We place him above the pale and the dark, the darker of the house of his race and the blessings of liberty for personal advantage. We place him above the common heed of propagandists who have measured up to the highest standard of full grown manhood and we are proud of him. He stands during the arrival at Howard University; his valiant attempt to reach the hearts of the people upon issues uncolored with sentiment and emotionalism, his Sandberg, the unfinished attack during the last election and his weekly articles published in our papers commemorating the apathy and slothfulness of the black race at this present time. Kelly Miller is all our hearts.
AT BREAK OF DAY
I love the heat of briar at dawn, and Watch day's loveliness being slowly born.
The sun slowly fading into gray, and a twilight's glow becomes the smile of day.
I love to hear the first cock crow at dawn.
The first dog's bark across the dewyawn.
The first outburst of factory whistles at dawn.
The first light football of the passing crowns.
As I kneel forth to earn its daily bread, and win rude shelter for its tiredawn.
I love to hear the first wheel turn at dawn.
As Struggle calls us with her noxylawn.
I love watch gray breaking into blue, and blue turn gray with old Soil's brightawn.
The hurry to bury hide; as From the East the rosy sunbeans play.
I love to hear the first bird at dawn, and smell the freshness of the dewyawn.
And deeply drink the elixir of life, and whistle sound the call to strife.
I love to feel within my soul at morn, Deep gratitude to God, and peaceawn.
And kindly love 'tard my all my fellowness:
As calm mind, bent daundessly to win.
I leap from bed, and breathe a grateful prayer.
The god has been so good to kindlyawn.
So vain a thing as it: I hum a song.
As I fell in my heart life pulsing.
So I go forth light hearted to my task, and only life and health and beauty ask.
For day breaks in my soul, and joy is Awn at dawning of each lovely morn.

Parents sending their children to college this fall can be assured that they will have from two to four years' instruction in the Bible.
Perusal of the catalogues of the big race colleges indicates that every single one, except the four years' instruction in the Bible, and makes compulsory week day and Sunday chapel attendance. The documents existed at Howard up until two years ago when they were abolished after a student strike. None of the white colleges of the Bible, or chapel attendance.

Lincoln University catalogue just issued, states that Bible study is required two semester hours in the Freshman and Sophomore years. In addition, Donna an announcement that only upstanding yellow colored men of "good moral character" are desired as students.

CONTENTMENT
I want but here below,
Nor need that little long;
Just a little bit of sunshine;
A little bit of song.
Just a little bit of gladness;
A little bit of cheer;
Just to be the sadness,
And keep the sunshine here.
Just a little bit of friendship;
A little bit of love;
Blessing with the most glowen,
Like sunbeams from above.
A little bit of sympathy
To ease the heart's dull ache;
A pleasant dream to light my sleep;
Fond thoughts to charm me wake.
A little bit of home's sweet bites,
— the sweetness of laughter and simple boon
Contentment's life most enduring joys.
I only ask a star and faith
That I will be God;
And love's sweet flowers by the war
To beautify the sod.
I have the star, I have the faith;
I'm climbing up to God;
O give me flowers
To beautify the sod.

Last week a young woman of this city wrote to the editor deploring the fact that girls were molested in mashes pursuant to a passport. This week she received a letter from a gentleman by the name of Sussarass Sudds, who claims that the men have a kick too.
*We are printing Mr. Sudds' letter verbatim that you may just how he feels about the flitting skulation. The letter follows.*
*We are present in school of the African America Newspaper that a young woman sees that young girls can not walk on Druthil Avyne without being mashed by by mashers.*
While I do not care for mashers for no sort, yet I contend that women folks, and probably bigger.
To tell the truth Mr. Herd, it is getting so that respectable married men don't have no protection whatsoever. I don't have a snape net that having some snape make goo goos eyes at him, whether he has been formally introduced to them or not.
The hard part is that the poloeco turn blind cars and deaf eyes to the whole scluation.
And too, it is a shame how drug store cow girls talk about a man as he walks up the street. And we are afraid to look back because they think it is an invitation to follow us.
Boss under sixteen are afraid to go in certain sections at late hours without being accomplished by their mothers. Why just last week a vamp followed a man of tender years right to his very doorway.
Now mind you, Mr. Herd, I have no objection to being flapped by a vamp. I refrain from being approached on terms of familiarity by riff raff girls.

Scientists Say, "Hoop, Stinging And Glass Snakes." Myths
The boys who used to gather around the old fireplaces and tell stories of their adventures, "snakes," "stinging snakes," and "glass snakes," in all probability will have to bring out something new or else be branded as an avid biologist, a release made by biologists in the Department of Agriculture is to be given eredens.
Because of the snakes that give chase to unvary travelers by grabbing their horned tails in their mouths and rolling like a snake, the reeled "stinging snake" has not any sting, the biologist creeding the origin of the mythical snake having a very sharp pointed tail but not one capable of stinging.
The "glass" or jointed snake, said to hate the power to disjoint and wiggle off in all directions when attacked, and later re-assembly itself, is a humbling, but indestructible lizard that has the facility of dropping its tail when in danger of being seized by that member. The tail later grows longer short, imperfect appendages.

The greatest novel of the year "Veiled Aristocrats"
By Gertrude Sanborn
DECIDEDLY ORIGINAL
FULL OF VIDY TO THE CHARACTERS
APPEALING TO THE NOBILITY OF HEART
AND SOUL.
Her book is a strongly but protest against the color prejudice and the unfairness with which sectioned our population. The author's treatment of the subject is it is overdone, but she has nevertheless made a compelling story—by the Boston Globe, January 4, 1924.
The story mimes at the page during interest and throws light upon many phases of the Negro character. He seems deceived by the center of a lively discussion—The Mimi Journals Journal, December 1923.
We think that the book is significant in that it emphasizes the art side of Negro life which is not covered by the book the author gives facts regarding Negro life which are not given. January 12, 1924.

MAKES AN APPEAL
To the Editor:
Again we make an appeal to you for aid in caring for the two hundred and little colored children under our care. All these have to be clothed, fed and cared for. Our expenses and the assured means of support are not half enough for our needs, and we have recourse to the charity of our community to help us make up the deficit. For items in the lower departments we have 136 children from six months old to seven years. To keep in touch with our community, our milk bill is close upon $400 a month. As to bread for the children, we are deeply indebted and very grateful to the kind friends, who last and helped us out of our difficulties. The only way we can show our gratitude to the leg God to preserve this children and Sisters do daily: MOTHER MARY PASCAL. Superior.

Regardless of Race
The John Hopkins Hospital Is For The Poor of the City Regardless of Race
Mr. Editor:
The late John Hopkins, anticipating the needs of the colored poor, of the city and state, made a book, published for all others. If we have neither the sense or the courage to stand up and earnestly contend for what is right, then let us, at least, blame others. Mr. Hopkins, in his letter of instructions, to the "trustees," whom he had selected on March 10, 1873.
"The indigent sick of this city and its environs, without regard to sex, age, or color, who require sure care, and the poor of the city and state, who cannot be received into the hospital without peril to the other inmates, and the poor of the city and state, who cannot be received into any casualty, shall be received into the hospital without charge, for such periods of time and under such regulations as you may prescribe, or for such division of the sexes and patients among the several wards of the hospital as will best promote the actual usefulness of the patient."

"Boys, now that they've shed light on the race problem suppose you go into the kitchen and show the lights down your window, think a tuse has blown out. Cook said not a bulb would light." Rod and Darby disappeared kitchenward. Rod's swift running tones minced voice. Amber smiled happily after them and went into the pantry to cut bread for sandwiches and to make a lot of cookies. Rod cooked a cook and a housemaid, but frequently she prepared dainty dishes herself and at night it was always her custom to serve "her boys" as she cooked and Uncle Ray, an appetizing luncheon. Rod had learned, shortly after the fortune day on which he had entered the room, that he had been accepted into the family because it was customary for them to rent rooms, but because Carr had interrupted the family, well the fortune of Rod's life at Waterport, wanted the boy to associate with people who would love and understand him. He also knew the children of their own, were lonely. They were possessed of more than average people and they had used it to the most pleasing advantage in their
The arrangement proved a most delightful one. Rod was surrounded by the refinement and culture of his home, and his effervescent spirit soon made his goings and comings momentous events in the lives of Amber and Darby, who had been in reality their own son. The Negro, and his many dilutions, have a steadiness and greediness of affection and emotion that expresses the emotions of the average white man pale into insignificence.
After the unexpected thrills the evening had brought him home, he splendid Negroes marched through his dreams.
CHAPTER V
There is always a pleasant degree of mysteriousness about packing boxes and about excelsior and the skin boards that cause scars. It is the mysteriousness increases with the quantity of excelsior then there was much of interest to ponder on in the tightly mated packing cases that attained the Cartwright mansion on Lake Shore Drive. A crowd of urchins having become acquainted with the advent of the packing boxes, in those mysterious cases, the first to know of the movements of great families, had congregated along the stone walls and in the area-way to peer down in suppressed excitement at the one of men who were transported by articles from vans into the residence. "I but them swells own half the fur, nature in the world," said a small boy to his ragged sister. "I don't jam tastes better to them, nor does it to us."
"Jun!!" he retorted derisively, "jun-
"Do you think millennials outs
jarmed up fruit? Naw! They have it
a canopy on ice, William!"
"Do you s'pose they'll cook tea in the kitchen tonight?"
"Naw, they'll toast their patent feathers front of the grate, drop cigarette ashes in their deamy-tassy and then they'll drag haughty to bed and sleep under gold embroider'd eiderdowns. Look at there!"
Cruised eagerly forward, "Here comes a bedroom snot now!"
The van men hurried perspiringly in and out. Supercilious servants directed the unpacking and as each beautiful piece was uncovered, Castie, the officious butler, steered it into its proper sphere of usefulness and shifted fastidiously upon each fresh contact with the collarless men who were laboring overtime to put the Cartwright mansion into livable condition. The urchins had been just a bit wrong in their calculations, for no one would smoke cigarettes before the great fire-place and no patent leather shod gentleman would dream there over a demi-tasse. The master of the house was many miles distant in South America, dreaming perhaps, but probably not over anything so mild as an infusion of coffee. Somebody would sit there that very night, where the dust of the draymen's tread was yet scarcely hid and where the prickle of powdery sawdust accosted nostrils lately stung by the tang of the open gas.
Natalie Cartwright had come home. She and her father had been living abroad. Natalie had been born in London, her father and mother went to live in London, but her pretty trailing mother was not adapted to the English climate. She and her father and mother had returned to France, where they had lived in luxury till the death of Astor Cartwright's wife sent him to Paris to give her father and sent her daughter home to her father's birthplace—Chicago. Natalie, vivacious and pretty, had crossed the ocean alone, reveling in her freedom and in the city. She and her father that must be ahead of her. The servants had been sent in advance. Money had smoothed every path and opened, dusted and cleaned the old family home. She and her father drawn and its many lights kindled, it awaived its young mistress. She came at eight o'clock in the evening, a chow dog filling the smart car that rolled quietly to the doorstep that had remained untridden so long. "I'm here! I'm here! ! I'm here!" Natalie cartwright, whirled him around the hallway.
"Glad to see you, Miss. That I, am, Miss. The passage now—how I have hover—Mathilda, the look, Mam, was so sick and she near died of the hiccups. Sick. How could anyone be sick, Castle—the old ocean is glorious! America is glorious. This house—what I can see of it from the hallway you make for me. In Paris, glorious Do fetch me some quickly—in there by the fire—there is a fire, isn't there?" I struggled to get his equiv. "Brium, the Lord had made a solemn person, but his young mistress had a way of upsetting the Lord's special will. 'I'll bring tea at once, Miss.' He closed the door b-.ly.

Nate was wheeled swiftly through the handsomely furnished rooms. Her quick eyes saw, with quiet satisfaction, the harmonious walls and hangings. They were more sedate in tone, with a kind of shifty roundness of her French villa had been, where everything was frosty and light and where quantities of white muslin and pink hangings made a lovely bed. The cream stream sprinted with rose leaves.
"I'm sure we shall love it here. Chow. I wonder if it will take us long to speak as they do in Chicago. I suppose we'll sound most horribly foreign."
"Miss. Miss," said Castle returning, "and letters." He laid a neat packet on the end of the cart and withdrew again. The dog settled down, his black tongue quivered. He had long ago learned that square lumps of sugar were an invariable accompaniment to tea. Natalie opened and a letter from her father that lay on the top of the packet.

Natalie giggled. Her frivolous parent was no more than a rollieking older brother. She had never known him to be serious. He had kissed her and caressed her and left her a score of kisses. He had written her letters were a half dozen letters of welcome from matrons who had known her father as a boy and who were anxious to annex Natalie and the letters. The last letter an oyster-colored sheet folded squarely in the center, the page covered by tail smartly formed letters, was from a man she had met at a studio in Paris. "Lane-Lane-Lane-" she mused. "I see me-oh, yes-tail, blase, drank quantities of wine, rather amusing, good looking, yes, extremely good looking. Rected or something—came home last year—of
The days of Natelle's first month in the big luxurious house passed with constantly interrupted swetches. People were with them eloquent in letters with them eloquent in letters, cheerful, kindly, cold, courteous or merry voices. They asked questions and gave advice. They threw Natelle into an unmused state of undeceasedness. They were with an explanation point behind the thought and now a shadowy question mark was in the forming. She missed the light of the delightful habitues. Even the air itself was different here; it either stung with a penetrating cold as it rushed to shore on the breast of tumbling heat after it had lured the searching bricks that were piled to heaven in great shrieks to commerce. Natelle drew her scarf about her throat and longed for the soft sweet airs of the American women interested her, but only as exhibits might interest her at a fair. They rushed at her in a fashion so blunt and brusque that she rolled away in their heavy cars. She amused a number of the young girls.

but felt as much shut away from their life as she could not speak their language here was at home, homekissed here she was at home, concerting situation. Natalie very fond of music and during the concert she spent most hours at the piano playing in the silent house those aspirations a creature meant for art and beauty a creature meant for to look at the eclectic strivings that to fill the dazzle of a city's smart set.
The music room was long and wide, and the polished walls of Chandos whitish with gold leaf vivid jonquils. Natale, like his flower, nodded above the keyboard, bright body following the rhythm of the irregular knot with gypsy shadows gloved with the warm lights of an aliquoque, given of camara oil. The window was open in the room, she played, faces that had belonged to other days floated smiling before her mental sweetness peeled away. She hind them all, her mother's eye.
"Love," she had said, "all of it. It is the beginning and the end. It is learning what it means you will learn the essence of all proximity."
Jimmy Kimmel, exotic, ecstatic, flowed from Natasha Bennett's shoulders of her former days filled with the music she played on and on, the captivating music reverberating like an ocean of expanding sound. As her mood warmed and she stood head and brightness of a mirror caught her attention. Within its expanse, that mirrored the jaws and herself, she saw another face. A woman with a long fingered on after the other had pulled away, yet she did not remember those tossing looks nor the deep blubbant eyes, nor the warm beautiful eyes, nor the warm beautiful maybe here in this slingshot, wagging country there were faces after all beautiful with maturing ideals.
As Natale watched the mirror, the face moved from the hedge of poinsettia and to the straight figure cactus. It looked upward and reached upward for the sun and swung downward toward the earth. Among the slender flowers, it presented in a symbol, a flash of pink color that was mysterious in its incomprehensibility. Natale's practiced fingers tugged from melody to melody, the light symmetry from posture to posture, until finally, curious and aroused, Natale took her hands from the keyboard. The jealousy retained their positions in the mirror, turned to vanish. But Natale was quicker. She sidet from the bench and faced the wide doorway behind her, she started breathing, breathtaking in kohl sheaves were turned back to his elbows, his collar was rolled away from a white, firm thrust. He held a paintbrush, gleaned a film of Nile green paint. Natale had not known there were painters in the house and the young man had not known that such a person as Natale owned it. He had been

CHAPTER IL
When we compare the views of the average modern man, relative to physical phenomena, and the other questions which puzzled ancient man, we find that modern man is but little removed in thought from his ancient brother. Modern man attributes everything good to God, and everything harmful to the devil. Often when he is the recipient of good things he attributes them good luck and if he receives evil things attributes them to bad luck. In such cases 'good luck' and 'bad luck' like the place of the ancient man's good gods, and bad gods.
Early To Study
Despite the prevelence of the old beliefs and notions concerning pain, life, creation, etc., man began early to study science, the things that he believed in, to him. He began out of curiosity and a deep seated desire to know the world and the things about him. He was not satisfied with more Biblical statement. The words of the old priests were not sufficient. He wanted to test these things for himself.
Break With Tradition
He gradually broke away from tradition and authority and began to study nature through her various manipulations. It was in this field of labor that the scientific leaders dissided with the religious leaders, and with the religious leaders and their adherents have opposed scientists.
Independent Thinkers
Despite this continued opposition on the part of many religious leaders, independent thinkers from the first, have dared to devote their time to a careful and systematic study of the history they have invaded the field of astronomy, geology, anthropology, ethnology, biology, paleontology, and related sciences, and by their discoveries have revolutionized the world of science. The world regarded this study as purely religious and atheistic.
Scientists Ostracised
The masses led by their religious leaders extirpated these scientificists and hounded all kinds of persecutions upon them, thus a record of ceaseless persecutions against men of scientific thought and aspirations. The church was opposed to science because it was opposed to thought. It became the church. Thus since the Bible taught that faith was essential to salvation, religious leaders regarded thought a species of blasphemy. For this reason the church persecuted the scientificists and punished them for the crime of thinking.
Convicted Of Thinking
Michael Servetus was tried at Vienna, France in 1553 by the Catholic Church; convicted of thinking, and condemned to be burned alive. Servetus succeeded in escaping the clauses of the Catholic Church, being convicted of presbyterian faith, and Servetus bound in chains and cast into prison. Later he was convicted and burned alive.
Bruno Burned
Brume, the great philosopher and thinker, was burned in 1600 at Rome because he dared to study science and give his opinion in regard to his discoveries in scientific research. The superstitions and orthodox views which accounted for the opposition of the clergy and the masses in the middle ages of science re

ed Payment Pending Court Action
Despite injunction proceedings instituted, June 19th, to stop equalization of salaries of teachers in the senior schools until colored teachers were included, $65,937 will be disbursed immediately to white teachers, according to R. Walter Grubham, City Comptroller, who has issued instructions that checks to this amount be made available.
This decision was made upon the advice of City Solicitor Perlman, it was learned by the Afro-American, after conferences with the court had established the fact that the payment to the teachers would be prejudicial to the interests of the colored teachers if they won out on the injunction.
It is contended by the Board of Estimates and the city authorities that inasmuch as the contention of the injunction was not to deprive whit teachers of salary equalization, but was intended to obtain the same amount, the city was ordered that as the city was a responsible party, the colored teachers would neither lose nor gain by withholding the payments.
To Continue Fight
When asked what steps the Decepe League would take in this matter, Atty. Warner T. McGunn, one of the attorneys in the case, stated that the court would limit the limit. If the injunction is won he says, it will have the effect of compelling the city to equalize the salaries of colored teachers under the same conditions which the city has already instituted. We may institute mandates proceedings in addition to the injunction he said, and at any rate the
A&P
case will be fought out when it comes up for hearing on September 8th.
Action September 8th
Records on the Circuit Court doeet show that the original complaint for injunction was filed June 19th, and that on the 4th of that month the city answered by filing a general demurrage. Indeed, there was a motion for setting of date for hearing, and the hearing was set for September 8th. The action of the City Controller followed insistence on the part of the white coaches on the 4th of that day to allow them immediately. The action is said to have the consent of the Court.

GARVEY DEPORTATION WARRANT ISSUED
Will Be Seen Out Of Country As Soon As He Has Served Term.
Washington, D. C.—Marcus Garvey, for whose deportation a warrant is held by immigration authorities at Atlanta, Ga., where he is serving sentence in the Federal prison, will not be deported until he is released from prison by pardon, parole, or expiration of sentence, the Commissioner General of Immigration explained to-day.
A warrant for the deportation of Garvey is included in a batch of 1924 immigration authorities at Atlanta.
It was explained at the immigration bureau that the Commissioner of Immigration is immediately informed upon an alien being sentenced to the penitentiary for warrants for their deportation are forwarded to the immigration authorities in the city where the prison is located. These authorities are notified shortly before the prisoners' release and plans are made publicly and deported as soon as they are released. In some instances, prisoners are paroled for the purpose of being deported. So far as could be uncertained, Garvey will not be turned over to the immigration department. His petition for executive clemency is under consideration by the Attorney General, who will make a recommendation to the President. In the event that Garvey is parured, he will be taken into custody by the immigration authorities for deportation. If Garvey's deportation will be delayed until he is paroled or has served his term.
Garvey was convicted of using the mails to defraud in connection with the sale of stock in the Black Star Steamship Line, a subsidiary organization of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, obliging the President General. He was sentenced to serve five years in the Federal Penitentiary at Atlanta, Georgia. Garvey is a West Indian. He came from Kingston, Jamaica, and is a citizen of the British Jamaican government at the time. He was first naturalization paused but he is willing to be deported in order to be released from the penitentiary.

Girl Went Back On Her Note
Wake Forest, N. C., Aug.—(A.N.P.)-Charlie Core, now resting in the county jail, has learned that notes written by white girls are to be put in the same class with the promises of princes, both being dangerous. Core, who was an employee at the Wake Forest College for Girls, said one of them wrote him a note, telling him to meet her in her room at a certain hour in the night. When Core got there, another girl was visiting in the room, and the writer complained that she knew nothing of the intruder and had him arrested for trespassing. The noteholder is now being protected from a healthy mob.

The question of religion, the monkey origin of man and science in general have been unnecessarily distorted, and have created confusions and alarm in many quarters. It is unfortunate almost tragic that, in the discussion of religion, science is made that science is in opposition to God and the Christian religion. Personally, I am not in accord with the facts concerning the future of the principles which have been as an anchor of hope in the darkest peaks of our ancestral history on this planet.
We believe the Christian religion to be Divine in its origin and therefore can have no fear for scientific truth. The truth cannot effect the Christian religion. It is only a religion that is not a creature of the investigation by science. Evolution as a science, simply means the study of changes, unfoldings, and developments, not only the special and biological world and so comprehends the creation of the various species with man as its object, but also the special and biological field for scientific research and investigation. But even here, science has its limitations, and many untraughed exponents have been aberrative. Faith comes in where science is powerless. Faith ignores the atheist and the agnostic and supports in the infinite wisdom of God.
The arguments and reasons have been indeed amusing, especially the professor of Physical Anthropology in Johns Hopkins Medical School. Some of the arguments remind us of a drowning man catching at a pool. Schultz's man's family and the man's fifth man brought his hands, which were once feel, into use is not only amusing, but also grossly offensive. In the absence of acts, the mind returns to revelation and finds its answer in that correlation of facts which as yet, have never been disproved, these facts are direct and subline form by Moses in his account of the cosmogony, the origin of species and man, the masterpiece of Religion is a question of faith and beliefs, and not subjects for scientific investigation. The lay people who are neither bereaved nor little for the outcome will continue to believe in the Biblical version that man was made in the image and likeness of his Creator, and that Jesus Christ is God, and the Saviour of mankind.

"So er say to de gemman wat sol'd me up so dat I hur him mek his remarks, but I ain't hur what he get his Scriptu" from, and dat de wurd of de Lorod I tek my stan by de Word of Gord ebery time. Jasper ain't mad; he ain't fighting no body; he ain't bln plinted janitur to run de sun; he nothin' but de servunt of Gord and a luver of de Ev- elasting Word.
"What I keer abut de sun? De day comes on wen de sun will be called from his race-trac, and his right squinked out foruvur; de moon-ball turn-ler, blood, and this yearth he konsoomed wid fher.

War It Says
"Here is wat it says: 'Fur from de risin' uv de sun evun unter de goin' doun uv de same. My name shall he great 'mong de Gentiles'. My name shall be great 'mong de heathun, sez de Lord uv hosta'. How do dat suit yer? It look lak dat ort ter fix it.
Dis time it is de Lord uv hosts His-sef dat is doln' de talkin', an He is talkin on er wonderful an glorious subjlk. He is tellin' uv de siredin' uv His Gorspel, uv de kum- rain' uv His last, victory ovur, de Gentiles, an de world-wide glories at the last He is ter gilt. Oh, my bruddin, wat er time dat will be.

"Think dat I will fursake de Bible? It is my only Book, my hope, de arsnel uv my soul's surplies, an' I wants nuthin' else.

WEEKLY SERMON
The sermon this week is given by the Rev. T. M. Greene, D. D. pastor of Avery Chapel A. M. E. Church, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The sermon next week will be given by the Rev. Ernest J. Bradshaw, pastor of Union Chapel, Blue Ridge Summit, Pennsylvania.
"The Lord is my Light and my Salvation, whom shall I fear?"
"The Lord is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?" Psalm 71.
THE FAITH PERFECT
In the songs of David we find ex out the beautiful measures are protect the only suggestion of fear is that a him of that protection that the Holy The faith of David is a wonder of the present day and a spiritual tear. Such a condition not firmly anchored to the faith of opinion away from one barren longing for a refuge which is right the love of Jesus Christ. All other less. Allow me to call to mind the would have barred the children from saying, "Suffer little children to conceive referred to both faith and familial life is the absolute faith of a child in a never falling haven, secure from enemy. The child trusts its mother" our little friend. Live each day in sublime hope—may take another stride toward the a will never withdraw his love from a selfs who have failed to trust com be shaken, an unselfish love for out the world better, truly as David says
David we find expression of the desire of ours are protections of our fear is that God may leave that the Holy Presence assures us that the Holy Presence assures us that the sinful and foolish doubt in will not falter in his steps so flowing that Light he cannot protect him from dangers that devour him in BEA. Poor David is not a condition is passive to the faith of their fathers, but one barren reef to another which is right at hand. The rest. All other creeds and theor to the mind statement of Christ to children from his presence children to come into me, for his meant to humility. One of the truth of a child in his parent. To secure from any assault, he sits its mother's guidance compulsive hope—greet each rising ende toward the accomplishment his love from us, and when fainted we are rewarded. With a faithful love for our fellows, a but David for ours, we shall not
In the songs of David we find expression of the perfect faith. Throughout the beautiful measures are protestations of confidence and adoration, the suggests of the humanism and thus deprive him of that protection that the Holy Presence assures.
The faith of David is a wonderful lesson to those who fear the power of the world. The God of God is the true Christian will not fatter in his steps for the Lord is a Lignite unto his pathway. Following that Light he cannot stumble. The Lord is his Saviouration, and will protect him from dangers that threaten. One great curse of the present day world is PEAK. Fear of each other, physical, and the sinfulness of the whole world. Poor of each other, not firmly anchored to the faith of their fathers. The swerving tides of opinion away them from one barren reef to another and they stagger about longing for a refuge which is right at hand. The only saving grace is the love of Jesus Christ. All other creeds and theories are base and baseless.
Allow me to call to mind the statement of Christ when his disciple would have barred the children from his presence. He rehabbed them, by the duff of the child, and he was such a subject as he had been. That comparison meant more than is commonly realized. It is referred to both faith and humility. One of the most beautiful things in life is the absolute faith of a child in its parent. To the child, the mother is never a child but a child. For the whole world, for the whole country, for the enemy. The child trusts its mother's guidance completely. Such must be our faith in God.
I live each day in sublime hope—great each rising sun with joy that you may be still aware toward the accomplishment of noble things. God will never withdraw his love from us, and when failure comes it is ourselves who have failed to trust completely in his divine benificence. According to our merits are we rewarded. With a faith in God that cannot be a full undermined form of life, we have to make the world better truly as David says. We shall not be moved.

is expression of the perfect faith. Through protestations of confidence and adoration, that God may leave him and thus deprive Holy Presence assures. Holy Presence fears the fear the power and foolish to doubt the goodness of God. ; faster in his steps for the Lord is a Light at Light he cannot stumble. The Lord is from dangers that threaten. One great condition is passive proof that humanity is of their fathers. The swerving tides of renex to another and they stagger about sight at hand. The only saving grace is creed and theories are base and base. The statement of Christ when his disciples from his presence. He rebuked them, come unto me, for such is the kingdom, creed and theories are base and base. One of the most beautiful things in its parent. To the child its mother is from any assault, however forbidding the herd's guidance completely. Such must be — greet each rising sun with joy that you the accomplishment of noble things. God usus and, when failure it is ours, we must be rewarded. With a faith in God that cannot our fellows, a burning desire to make says, "We shall not be moved."

WAGES LOWER IN ENGLAND THAN U. S. A.
Continued. From Page One
got three pounds, or $15.00 a week.
A Pullman porter in America gets
as much, without tips.
Stenographers At $6
The average stenographer gets
about $10.00, a good one in the office
of a friend of mine, is paid $6.25
and is glad to get the job.
In America she would command
not less than $20. Housemaids get
from $3.75 to $6. I know several
maids in America who get as high
as $50 a month for four hours work
daily.
Food Is High
1. And the most surprising thing of all is that the price of almost everything is actually as high as it is in America, recently in one of the popular restaurants I paid the following: two cups of tea and egg sandwiches of tea, and two pieces of cake, sweetened to a single portion, in a New York automat.
Rent Cheaper
Room rent is slightly cheaper. A room that brings $6.50, costs about $7 here, minus most of the convenience items such as toilet paper and hot water, practically unknown. Living in the country pays is cheaper, but so is labor. Woolen clothing is cheaper, and of superior quality, but cotton goods are about as high. Costs about the same as it does on Lenox avenue. How the working people make ends meet is a mystery to me. The majority must be living on the lowest margin possible. On the other hand, the greatest wealth. The rich, however, complain of the high income tax.
Unemployment
There is a great deal of unemployment and it is a calamity to lose one's job. Dates of about a $4 week are paid the unemployed but with the high cost it doesn't seem to relieve the situation. The slight sight to see men and women couching in a doorway, that being their only home. At the Thames Emmanuel hundreds of these direllets may be seen any night. During the four years England was at war the lost much of her market. The war has exceeded her exports by several million dollars.
English Weil Dacd
But while America leads England in those things that make for bodily comfort in matters of culture and good taste the former is proportionately as far behind. I know the average white American well, and to speak frankly he is as poor as compared with the lowest class of English. I have met some of the best class and of the lowest here, and I have found good breeding uniform throughout so far I have yet to meet a tude person. The average London "bobby" is a polished gentleman compared with a New York "cow". And by London police-men doesn't carry a gun. The culture of the English people is best manifest in the manner in which the law is observed. In 1822 England and Wales, with a population of 38,000,000, had 102 murders, while Chicago, with three millions, and New York, with its seven millions, had over 200 to a Negro coming from the United States, the courtesy, is to say the least; refreshing.
Color Prejudice:
And this is not to say that there is no color prejudice here. I have talked with several full-blooded Negroes, and they have pointed out to me several places where they say they are refused service. These places were all of the lower class. Many white people also like the dark Negro is not so welcome as his color is so obvious. On the other hand, the fact is that very dark Negro acquaintances of mine go with white women to the best hotels and restaurants to dine and dance, and are received with the courtesy accorded any other guest. I have seen told that the reason for this is that it is assumed that since these men can afford to be expensive and must be personal consequence. Britain has many black kings and princes, and who knows but that these Negroes may be one of them?
Hindus Cut a Figure
And as to the Hindu princes, many of whom are quite Nego-like in appearance, they cut quite a figure in social life. One of them recently gave a party that was said to eclipse anything seen here for some time: As was said, it is a matter of class and mostly money. A black man who would be received at the court he refused on Tottenham-Court Road (because it is assumed that if he was a person of consequence he would not enter the latter place.
Americans Blamed
West Indians of the poorer class blame it on the Americans, whom they charge with importing color prejudice. They point to the time before the coming of the latter when President Roosevelt made a blik in war prejudice. I think, however, that much of the blame is on the Negroes themselves, certain powdies by their actions making it bad for persons of like color in certain neighborhoods. White Americans have doubletes in their hands throughout Europe. In a recent talk with Mr John Harris, Parliamentary Secretary, and author of several books on the Negro, the latter assured me that American influence was at the bottom of most of the exaggerated prejudices he has ever encountered. Nevertheless, the black man still enjoys privileges unheard of in any part of the United States. But he must have money, for if he hasn't this is about the last place on earth where the Negroes are, so many here are already in need themselves.
seems to be little interest in it. The compared with the lowest class of only times I have known it to be brought up by white persons, was when I brought it up. Mixed couples seem to attract little attention. List Sunday at a cricket game in Negroes and gents' parks. I saw no less than 30 of the former, go with as many white girls into a crowded tea garden.
Remembering the furore such a thing would have created in America. I watched carefully, but failed to note the slightest difference in inwardly, but perhaps those there were too well-bred to stare. The English couple, so far as I can see, have the happy krack of each mincing word. And the average Englishman to converse you must begin, and he'll be the first to stop.
Surplus Of Women
England is a woman's country so far as numbers' are concerned. The saying that there are seven women for one man, seems to be enjoyable independence, too. Smoking on the streets, busses, and parks; and drinking in the saloons with the men. And they don't seem the men. And they don't seem the drunken people in London than I saw in Highland.
English Women Pretty
The result of travel is to correct one's information. I had always been led to believe that American white women were prettier than Englishwomen. The reverse is true. In a matter of facial beauty and complication, the latter is superior American women, however, dress better and move with more snap and life. Of course I am speaking of white women for I am still of the opinion that when it comes to looks and knowing how to put on clothes and then move with grace in them, the seventh avenue belle has no equal. Englishwomen are also much more natural and unaffected than American women, not. I suppose, because they're inherently better, but because they are so many, they must compete for the men, with its great menace of men, who must compete for the women. It is the old law of supply and demand.
Boasting Tourists
The average white American is little liked largely because he is an offensive booster, and has a way of depreciating everything. The fact is that almost everything in America is on a newer, more modern, and convenient plan, including bubbling in how much better off you are than the other fellow, and he retorts as we do in America, "If you don't like it here, why don't you go back home." Here is one judged not according to his color, but his nationality, and have constant defense, that the above-mentioned type does not represent the better class of American in pretty much the same way that I had to tell white people at home that the rowdy Negro is not typical of the race. The next article I will tell of some of the historic places I have visited as the Tower of London, the Guildhall street Paul's Cathedral, and some of the persons I have met.
Week's Survey
Business
Two new business establishments not fairly under way in Baltimore this week. The ePeople's Shirt Manufacturing Company, which has leased a building at 800 Pennsylvania avenue, plans to begin operation as soon as machinery and equipment can be secured.
This establishment is a stock concern, and is to be run on the cooperative plan. It will manufacture work and fancy shirts, bungalow aprons and dresses. The officers of the company include W. W. Hickes president; J. G. Wiggins, treasurer; R. Maurice Moss, corresponding secretary; Mrs. W. W. Allen, financial secretary; together with Mr. Sackler, constitute the board of directors. Charles H. Oliver, former manager of the Champion Shirt Company of Philadelphia, is the promoter and president. On September 2nd, the Rev. CVhares A. Tindley, of Philadelphia, will speak here in interest to the publisher.
Burton Reorganizes
Burton & Company, is the trade name of the new corporation, which will operate the clothing business and established at 12141-2 Pennsylvania avenue. The corporation has incorporated with a capital stock of $100,000 par value to buy and sell all stock of merchandise and labor of the officers are Samuel L. Burton, owner of the Burton clothing Company; T. A. Burton, a nephew, and Charles N. Blythe, also a member of the Burton family. Mr. Burton told a representative of the Afro-American that the corporation included steps to reorganize the business and expand its activities.
New Grocery
A new grocery business has been opened, at $00 George street, by Arthur Pearce. The store will be operated along the lines of the A. E. and towns, and will deal in groceries and household staples.
Montgomery Ward
The long-helded opening of the Montgomery Ward Company took place Saturday when the abattoir was thrown open to the public. It was first announced that this success would employ a number of juveniles and women in its clerical departments. Representatives of the APRO-AMERICAN. however, found that among the 2,000 employees, 120 were colored. With the exception of 35 colored men employed as porters in the various departments, the majority were men whose duty it is, to truck merchandise about the building. At the opening there were: but few colored patrons. Monggomery Ward Company does a general retail and mail order business. In its local plant, it has 85 stores and sells articles from oats to houses.
The Fuel Situation
With the coal strike threatening, it is probable that the coal price this winter will, as usual, under such circumstances, teach the high peak. Press dispatches indicate the deadlock between winter and the operators, will certainly result in a strike against them. Advertisers of oil burning stoves and heaters in the Afro-American are now calling attention to, the economy of securing oil burning equipment before a cold weather comes. Even if the e was no strike, the heaters are becoming the most time and money saving custom a home can adopt. Oil heating has passed this experimental stage, and they have been made safe and convenient, and the fact that there is no possibility of making safe makes them a boon for the house-holder.

Discuss Accounting
Thomas Dent, certified public accountant, with the Liberty Life Insurance Company, told the hearers at the meeting that business concerns were just waking up to the importance of scientific accounting as a safeguard in business. He also discussed the need of system concluding that business success was easily assured as any other occasion. If proper methods were used.
The Exchange has asked William N. Jones, City Editor of the Albuquerque American and editor of the business industry section, to address it Thursday. August 22. There are 200 members on the roll of the organization according to the report of the secretary.

COLORED AMERICANS SUCGEED IN PARIS
FLORENCE EMORY'S, STILL
MESCA OF FASHIONABLES'
Paris, August.—Spencer Williams, the song writer, is in over here. It is thought that Williams came over to introduce some of his charleston numbers. The town is considered to be a favorable spot at the present time for novelties of this kind, several places on prominent thoroughfares are conducted by colored Americans. Florence Emory's in the Rue Pigale, the establishment that is so fashionable since it won high favor with the Prince of Wales, is still in the forefront of all similar establishments. Several bands and orchestras earn a good living; in the city performing in the various cabarets. "Dick" Cole and Joe Cauff, of Baltimore are two of the best known here. There was another girl with the girls at the Moulin Rouge, France Smith, also from Baltimore.
Adn (Bricktop) Smith's is also holding its own with both Parisians and Americans. It is singular to note that Miss Florence Emory, a former entertainer in New York's cabaret, sang in Harlem with no treat degree of success. However, immediately the magic wand of His Royal Highness toucher her, the place became profitable.

The main issue with Essex has always been to give greatest value for the money. Its fulfillment of that aim was never so clear and its sales supremacy so completely acknowledged as today. With Hudson, it outsells every other line of 6-cylinder cars.
Economies possible only to the largest production of 6-cylinder cars, and the experience of four years' concentration on closed cars have resulted in the best cars and lowest prices in Essex history.
Essex is built on the Super-Six principle by Hudson workmen in Hudson shops. No other maker shares its advantage. In quality Hudson and Essex are alike. Both are easy riding and easy steering. Their unfailing reliability and economy are known everywhere.
And their conspicuous and increasing success reflects the rapidity and completeness with which the real facts regarding automobile values have penetrated the entire market.
$323 For those who desire, special arrangements have been made whereby an Essex Coach may be purchased for a First Payment of $323. The remaining payments conveniently arranged.

GOOD MORNING JUDGE
The Afro Court Reporter
If Robert Brown, 1419 Vincent street, had been as successful in his witnessess as he was in his make-up Friday in the Northwestern police station, he might, have been a free man today. Brown was haled into court when he was suspicious of a large air gas fixtures from vacant Gilmore street homes. But Brown Had been there before and had discerned that His Honor had a decided bias towards hard working men and he donned the overalls and other clothes denoting heavy toll. The Magistrate-Wolfram Brown, you look like a hard worker, man, and I do not to believe your story that you do not know anything about these fixtures. Robert Seff and Louis Cohen had testified that valuable fixtures had been taken, but were not sure that Brown was the man, and the Magistrate was in the act of murder, accused when Mrs. Elizabeth Brown, another witness, who lived next door came forward.
"Judge," said Mrs. Thomas, "I can exactly say that Mr. Brown took the fixtures, all I know is that I saw him coming out of the house with them in a bag. You can put your own construction on this."
When Joseph Johnson, 292 Peach alley, came home early Monday night, arranged his toilet with more than usual care and asked his wife to advance him money to spend among the further investigations. She did, and as a result, the husband said, "Good morning, Judge." Tuesday.
According to Mrs. Johnson's story, the major part of the couple started then show up early, brand new dress, and decided that for that evening, at least, Mamma would go where capt went.
In the street altercation which followed, the police found it necessary to use strong-arm persuasion in stopping hostilities. Johnson stated that her husband attempted to take her dress and dawn it.
Magistrate—H. w. much do you think you would have gotten on the dress and you been able to pay it? —Magistrate—P. 145.
Magistrate—Well, that is just what I am going to fine you, plus $1.45 for costs.
When George Taylor, 1025 Peach Alley, chased his wife with bricks all the way to the Southern police station. Tuesday, he lessened considerably the troubles of the Police Department.
"The incident also made the kind of wife that gets a man into a gang of trouble.
"Your Honor," she said, "I am not going to be like some women who have their husbands arrested and then plead for mercy for them, but I want you to send him just as far as the law will allow."
Magistrate—All right, what are the charges against him?
Mr. Taylor—Judge, all the charges are specific. That is the most good-nothing, perfectly worthless man I have ever seen.
Magistrate—Well, if I locked up every man that fits that description the jail will be overcrowded. Tell me exactly what he did.
Magistrate—Well, Your Honor, he sold all my furniture and took the money to buy whiskey with, and when found another home, he came around and broke that up. Last night when he heard I was going to have him ar-

HELD ON TO SEAT BY USING HAT
Has a man right to hold on to a seat in a crowded railroad train by using his hat?
"Yes," says Morris Shriver, white of the Star Meat Market, 671 W. Lexington street, w who enroute to Philadelphia last Sunday and used this method to hold a seat for a companion who was in the smoking car.
"No," says Thomas Dent, 1206 Drum Hill avenue, whose female companion was sitting in the seat ahead of Shriver and who wanted to sit where the hat was in order to be directly behind her.
Several seats in the upper section of the train didn't appeal to Dent, who insisted that Shriver take up his seat. The conductor on the train declined to interfere.
After a half-hour argument, Shriver finally found another seat giving up his place to Dent and his companion.
Dent was a member of a party of ten to look over the Mizpah land development near Atlantic Cu

Impossible To Print News And Leave Scandal Out
By Henry F. Arnold.
Considerable apprehension is felt among, members of the race anent, the mandals which appear in our papers.
There seems to be a consensus of opinion among those who do not know for what purpose a newspaper is published, that the race is being demoralized by the mandals. Instead of the race being demoralized, by the publication of scandal, society to a large degree, is being benefited.
If overt acts are to be committed by those who should be ever ready to set concrete action against whence will the inspiration and aspiration for real manhood and womanhood come?
This is one phrase of the situation.
Underlying this phase, the situation is the consecrated use of the press, as to what is going on in the community, and the nation.
The same is true in the eyes of the press.
If the prominence of a man or woman is sufficient reason for them to commit crime against society, there would be only one class of criminals.
This is not so, all men are classed as equal before the law, or all men are supposed to be classed as equal

before the law. The same rule applies to the press.
Argument Has No Precedent
The argument advanced by members of our group "miles the press" in calling the race" has precedent. Some time ago the wife of one of America's foremost white citizens was accused of infidelity. The husband of the woman is a multi-millionaire. The woman in question, was shamed by the indictate paid $50,000 for the story.
Colored newspapers. Instead of buying such stories, wait until the party or parties are healed before the courts before they air the illions of an unfortunate man. The party in the courts are carried before the courts, the disgrace has already arrived, so the colored paper is party only to the second part.
Publicity Of Scandals, Deters And Impedes Overt Acts
There is no getting away from this face. The publicity of scandals make others careful of what they see.
If men and women in high places are not exposed by the press, there is danger to the moral fabric of society.
No newspaper can long survive if it fails to give the public news of the things which the public wants.
The press must transmit the news of the day. The purpose of the press is not to harm society, but to carry out its duty.
The press must
