A few days ago he was grilled at the famous Scotland Yard under the suspicion that he was an agent in the pay of the Bolshevik government. It is said that the trouble started at the British Passport Control Office when Rogers on applying for a visa said that he wanted permission to go to Africa.

The trouble, he said, "hegan in New York city with his wife I applied to Sierra Leone in British West Africa. The truth is that I had only the slightest hope of being able to go so far—When I see to France I do hope to visit Ogen and Morocco—but knowing many American Negroes who had asked of going to Africa, and having permitted that he there I thought I would verify the matter and ask." After some questioning, Rogers said that he was told that he could not be given a vice for Africa and that he would have to take up the duties in England in which he only became suspirable and took him into an inner place where he was questioned by a young woman. Musician Or Communist "This young woman," says Roges, "evidently wanted to find out whether I was a musician or a Communist but instead of going to the point began to ask me several questions in a negative way as: 'You're not going to join a band?' 'You're going to Glasgow, or India or Austria or Germany?' She also did seem to believe that I a Negro writer, could be travelling on my own. Well, you can hardly blame her for that.

Wison Certain of Election Those close to the inside of EIKON are willing to towager three to one that J. Finley Willyson will be reelected. The three-to-one prognosis is predicted upon the fact that the southern lodges are solidly lined up for Wilson. This simple truth, coupled with the inevitable breaks which local 'jealousies in certain northern lodges are bound to create, means a solid tier of 700 or more ballots for Wilson out or a total 1,000 votes to be cast. Wilson would still have a majority of 600 solid votes. Wilson's popularity in the south is undeniable. His handling of the southern fraternal complex, whose homely psychology warms up to smiles and chills to frowns, has been the 'Open Sesame' which has been the heart of the southern brothers, who, in solid ranks, are pledged to Wilson for another year.

It is all very well to talk about expansion and development, but unless we conserve what we already have, we will not get very far. There is in this country land enough, room enough, democracy enough, room enough, Christianity enough to enable us all, black and white, to live, develop, prosper and serve one another and our great nation, yes, and the spirit of prejudice, selfishness and bitterness, but in the spirit of the Man of Gallice.

He was secretary of the State Potatoo Grower's Association. Groves had his own private railroad connecting his farm with the Union Pacific railroad, and shipped spuds all over the world. He always used machines to plant, to weed, to dig, sort and load his crop. The late Booker T. Washington, who was his friend, used to twit Mr. Groves over the fact that he only had 75 cents when he got married. He was a plainly dressed, plain spoken farmer, modest, but forceful. His children, girls as well as boys, were tough as pig iron. On their farm, they had every convenience, including gymnasium, basket-tender courts, all killy equipped. The five Groves girls made up at one time the unbeatable Edwardsville basket ball team.

Page Two NEWS "CAL" ENDS 2ND YEAR WITH NO APPOINTMENTS No Charges In Capitol Since Death Of President Hard- SPLIT IN G. O. P. RANKS IS BLAMED Leaders Are Not Nominating Candidates For Existing Vacancies Washington, D. C., (Afro Bureau)—With the approach of the congressional primary elections, the question of whether or not the President is going to give any recognition to evolved Republicans by way of appointment or offices requiring confirmation by the Senate is becoming more important. Two Years In White House President Coolidge has completed two full years in the White House. He first took the oath of officer as President on August 2, 1923. Since that date he has been no longer appointment given to a colored man, except Walter L. Cohen, comptroller of customs at New Orleans. But the fate of his appointment and con confirmation of Mr. Cohen was begin under the late President Harding, and President Coolidge, in re- mominating Mr. Cohen, was simply carrying out the promises of his pre- There has been no disturbance of the Harding appointees. The Rev Solomon P. Hood, minister to Liberia; the Rev John H. Robert, minister of customs at New York; Robert H. Terrell, judge of the municipal court of the District of Columbia, and Perry W. Howard, special assistant to the Attorney General, have been appointed to one or two changes, however have occurred among the appointees holding offices of lesser importance: John W. Schenck of Boston; Oliver Randiph of New York; former assistant United States attorneys, and Alexander H. Martin of Cleveland, former special assistant to the Attorney General, are no longer connected with James C. Thomas Jr., of New York, and A. Lee leeity of Cincinnati, assistant United States attorneys, are still holding office. There has been one recent appointee, James J. Jones, an American United States attorney at Washington. Negroes Partly Responsible The failure of colored Republicans to receive political recognition, however, does not lie entirely with the power. They themselves at at least partly the blame. When vacancies occur, colored Republicans fail to present the names of suitable candidates for appointment, and consequently selections to fill them are made from the list of white persons whose names are presented and appointed by the Service Commission. A good example of this default on the part of colored Republicans may be seen in their present attitude toward the late Senator Medill McCormick, wife of the late Senator Medill McCormick, of Illinois; but not even the Colored Women's Federation of Clubs poses a demand for the places, although two of its members, Mrs. George S. Williams of Savannah, and Mrs. Mary F. Foozos of a roundtable meeting of the Republican National Committee. Banks Divided Another reason for the failure to acquire political recognition may lie in the division in the ranks of colored, Republicans. After the 1920 campaign, they were practically weeded into one organization, with Robert R. Church, of Memphis, Tenn., as their spokesman. The prominent figures in this organization included Henry Lincoln Johnson, National Committeeman, Georgia: Perry W. Howard, National Committeeman of Mississippi; William C. Matthews, of Boston, Roscoe C. Simmons of Chicago; the Iate Charles Cottrell of Toledo; Cornelius R. Richardson, of Richmond. Ind.: Thomas Fleming and Mr. Leith C. Fleming of Cleveland; Geo. Watty of Baltimore; Charles W. Anderson, and Gilehrist Stewart of New York City; Charles E. Mitchell, of Charleston, W. C.; Robert S. Abbott; Oscar DePriest and Edward H. Wright, of Chicago; William C. Heston, of Gary, Ind., and others. Mr. Matthews, Mr. Johnson and Mr. Howard were not only closely associated in political matte, but in legal matters as well; but upon his selection by Senator William M. Futter, chairman of the Republican National Committee, to manage the campaign among colored voters, Mr. Matthews broke with his former associates and attempted to ignore them in the running of the cam- Breach Unhealed This breach has never been healed, and Matthews, without the support of the nation, has been unable to deliver any political plums either for himself or any of his allies, associates, or friends.

Colton, Md., is a popular summer resort about sixty-two miles from the District of Washington. His district attorney, this charge is denied by both Mr. Parker and Miss Nichols in their answer to the suit which was filed in the District of Washington. The motion for alimony was to have been heard last Friday, but by agreement of counsel it was considered an order of the court in the suit for a limited divorce. Mr. Parker is still paying his additional alimony under the present suit for an absolute divorce. In his answer, Mr. Parker says that Miss Nichols is employed regularly as ordered by the court. He also says that his wife receives $4.40 a day at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing where she is employed.

National Baptist Convention, which will be held here next month, furnishes these pulpit graffers a large field to work in. No man will question men soliciting funds for large schools, and other institutions of standing. This is far from the purpose of the writer, who protest is that graffing closes, whose paramount object is to seize upon every camp meeting that takes place in some sparsely enclosed field to ply their grafting trade. These graffers not being content to play upon the ignorance of the prior washer, are now enclosed into the basket when it should be kept for the sustenance of her body, are now causing white business men to look awake upon when they seek a pittance for needy institutions, that deserve all they can get. If the pulpit grafter is not able to take care of him—this writer suggests that he place his application at Sparrow's Point. Men are wanted out there to carry Christ, the Church, the Ministry and the Church are disgraced by the black griefs.

Teachers' Salary Increases Depend On President Durkee's Favoritism. DURKEEISM AND HOWARD UNI LINGTON By Alumnus After weeks of silence and seclusion, Dr. Durkee comes out with the startling denial of the oft-repeated statement that he called Dean Miller a "contemptible pupil." Miller has come from the illustrious dean, though his embarrassment, as a result of the pitiful publicity, must be even greater than Dr. Durkee's. As a taxx minister and a teacher, Miller wrote a public letter on a civic matter. A tricolor colored ministers objected to Dean Miller's activity and essayed to curb his pen by appealing to Dr. Durkee's conference which Dean Miller was called a "contemptible pupil." Decent Ridiculous The matter was promptly reported, in writing, by Dean Miller himself. Trustees, but the matter was permitted to die a natural death. The incident is so well known in Washington, is widely credited by Dr. Durkee if he had the nerve to use such language to on one occasion ought to have frankness to admit it, even though it is causing him embarrassment now. To make matters worse, he has published similarly a dent by Dean Miller. Welcome Probe Dr. Durkees has recovered his speech to the extent of declaring that he welcomes a Congressional investigation into his allegations. A thorough investigation of Howard University, giving the professors immunity to testify, will be conducted. The liaison quivering with fear, and requesting former professors to testify, will make some startling headlines. The professors are so sour on the administration, so peeved over their oral servitude, and so eager for a change, that they are on record publicly in favor of the Crampton Bill. Even before the trustees took occasion to express an opinion on this bill, Howard University has formal appropriations for Howard University, thus virtually making Howard a government institution. The local press with their approval of the bill. Look To Government These professors were generally frank in admitting that they felt that a change to the government would mean the institution of a university were bitterly arraigned by the Board of Trustees, but their approval stands. They are looking to the government for deliverance from DarKEcism, and these professors are guaranteed protection from the "economy" which they will tell a tale of suffering that will bring tears to the eyes of the stoutest. They will picture the terrible conditions at Howard University. Any publication that wants first hand information, can ensify hand phasing a correspondent within the of the Howard University campus. Faculty Grievances So deep is the grievance of the faculty against Dr. Durkee, that they have already taken him to the preschool to maintain the rewards his favorite and facilitated his fancied foes. They say that he will not honor their insistence for a definite salary scale that all of the grade may be treated The professors feel that there should be a scale of pay for full professors, associate professors, assistant professors, and graduate scale not merely for the higher compensation, but also for the teacher's own knowledge of his salary before-hand, from his grade. They ask that, if there are to be variations in a given grade, advancement should be made on his grade automatic. Salary Whlp What is there unreasonable in this request of the faculty? Dr. Durkee, however, never asked the faculty so that they may arbitrarily increase salaries. He likes for them to take up the matter of increase in salary with him, according to the college president, under the college professors under date of November 15, 1924, salary increases for the year just end showed. No increase, no increase, no increase, eight received an increase of $5 a month; twenty-eight, $10; one, $15; three, $29; one $30; one, $5; and one, $10. The faculty naturally intensified dissatisfaction. Durkee Rules Out Worse than this, it was found that the apportionment was not muddled or basic in experience or attachments. Naturally, this method of doing a few dollars, according to Dr. Durkee's will and pleasure, has humiliated the just dignity and professional roles of these professional workers. The professors do not want Dr. Durkee to have absolute control over their duties. They want a definite scale which they may ascend automatically, provided that their services are satisfactory, and all fair-minded readers of their books. To them a full professor, with three years' longevity, $3,000 and another, with ten years' longevity, $2,500, is glaringly unfair, when both are appointed. Alumni Secretary Just to show how Dr. Durkee's methods work, take the case of his so-called Alumni Secretary. For sometime antedating his appointment, Dr. Durkee, Rt. Emory Smith had been especially serviceable to Dr. Durkee in allaying the constantly recurring fears of the alumni. He was one of a large and progressive congregation, an influential member of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, and a speaker of genuine persuasiveness. He was out of many embarrassing situations, and Dr. Durkee's very high regard and Gondness for him are both logical and commendable; but a university president is not a dispenser of advice. Dr. Durkee wards his faithful supporters with positions in the university, it becomes time for some frank person to rominate him that ward politics and these sacred precincts of learning. Married And Divorced Mr. Smith's ambition to enter the ancient, honorable, and lucrative practice of law seemed to some a fall in comprehension. As minister, he could unite couples in holy wedlock, with the injunction, "Let no man pun usunder"; and as a lawyer could unite couples to separate couples. The combination did not appeal to some folks—a lawyer minister, or a minister-lawyer, so he stopped. Durkee hitched up a queen sort of job for his loyal supporter, which in political parlance, is called a "plum," or a "plumier." He worked at $375,000 every twelfth month. That the newly appointed "Alumni Secretary" might seem bolder than he really was. Dr. Durkee told him he was for him and gave him a clerk. "Bitter Pill" For Deans At the time of all this creation, the dems of the multifarious colleges, for this was long the "useless" and "overlapping" colleges where they were not receiving more than $3,000—possibly as little as $2,500. They can give you the exact figure, for this proved to be a pill which they would think of Dean Miller, whom Dr. Durkee's belated denomination is generous enough to raise above the canine family, after years of sacrifice and deprivations, he has minimized $3,700. Secretary was receiving $3,700. Real Duties Now the writer does not presume to know exactly what the real duties of the "Alumni Secretary" are and this is as much as you can. It appears that whenever the alumna visits the university, especially or Commencement Day, and on the occasion of a Lincoln-Howard football game, she "grinds" the "grade" in hand, lets them give his other the "once-over", and passes the word around how Diana Fortune has favored Howard University to make the Hall of Fame some day by making the Hall of Fame some day. Other Rutics He certainly has other duties, for occasionally he is seen in the railroad station board of Howard University. None of his discoverable duties, however, seem to approach those of a college dean, but his enquiries outstrip those of the dean. (wag2) Moreover, wag2) renuer, he is permitted to practice law without interruption. The local papers carry notices of local cases; so if the writer is misleading, so if the local papers are responsible. Holding Two Jobs Say what you will, either the presidency or the alumni secretaryship of Howard University words it all over a Cabinet post. The president has time to run two institutes and the secretary of the alumni has time to practice law. But back to our real story! As long as Dr. Durkee can continue to make increments, these injustices will be continued. Injustices are beginning to whisper around their treatment since college closed. Gross injustices are being reported. For example, a professor who has served hardy three years has been raised to $5,000, after getting a big slice last year; whereas another professor, holding the same rank, with about twice or thirteen years' longevity, has been increased from $2,500 to $2,800. Another professor of recognized ability goes from $2,500 to $2,800. Many Cases There are many more of these cases which will snow that this arbitrary apportionment method is a way to ensure that the winner the president likes or misuses a professor, his feeling ought not to make its way to the payroll. Teachers should be paid for their instruction. Students should be paid for their worth to toward university and not for their worth to one James Stanley Durkee, who by a misuse of the Fortune, map the president. Henchman Idea The "benchman" idea of the administration is positively two-representative ideals: the desire to perpetuate an administration is the relic of by-gone days. All that an antique government tenure is a thorough preparation for his job, a religious adherence to the right, and an impartial treatment of all his subordinates. It is childish to talk of "loyalty to President Durkee." Why not loyalty to Howard University, to her professors, to her students? No professor's mind, in any institution, is ever seriously on the president except insofar as theigner ideals of that institution. Real Presidents Real presidents never cry for loyalty to themselves, but do insist upon loyalty to the traditions of the president and a professor to be imitative socially, but inseparable pedagogically. It is not necessary for a professor to linger around the president, but be the most services to the institution. Right Rev. Wrong Pres. The effect of Dr. Durkee's policy of "reward and punishment" is most injurious to the morale of Howard University. It virtually means that professors must be rewarded, students must be on smiling terms with His Majesty, the Right Reverend (but wrong President), Dr. Durkee. Self-improvement, foreign travel, scholarly contributions, superior teaching—nothing counts but pre-identification of Howard in this plight before. Doctors Of Philosophy In some strange way, the Doctors of their scholarly aloofness from the injustices. They are either doomed because of their superior knowledge, compared with that of their chief, or because of their account if their scholarly aloofness from "stand-wagon" practices. Dr. Woodson, Dr. Turner, Dr. Murray, Dr. Ware, Dr. Ware, Dr. Ware, for his views on the Immaculate Conception). Dr. Just, Dr. Locke, Dr. Davies, and Dr. Wester are all doctors, and Dr. Wester is all the knees' treatment of the very type of professor who must give Howard University the renown she seeks. Dr. Just. The administration has made an announcement of Dr. Just's reappointment to the National Research Council, and has freely added that Howard University is heartily co-operating to encourage Dr. Just. The public has a way of informing the public that Dr. Just, who has been on the anxious seat about his tenure, will not be fired as predicted. In fact, we doubt if Dr. Just can "economize" any more this season. Dr. Just Reduced We want the administration to tell the public if Dr. Just's salary received from Howard University, has been paid to him, and if his fellowship pays part of Dr. Just's salary, and Howard University pays part'. Last year, Howard University paid him $100,000, and unfolded report reduces this amount for the ensuing school term. Wesley Coleman To satisfy a critical public, let Dr. Durkee, grand dispenser of salaries, explain, explaining his decision to have his doctor degree from Harvard, and has served Howard in the most approved scholarly manner for over ten years, is not of interest to the public. In terms of salary, to Howard University, as Professor Frank Coleman, who has just made his way (deservedly to be sure) into professional education, a professor has a standing among educators, a tithe which we vainly would pay the president if could. He has been a professor at several institutes and similar educational assemblies. This surely is one way of attesting, a professor's worth and the university which employs him. Why? Why is Dr. Wesley's salary so much lower than Prof. Coleman's. No one advocates the paying of proft in the university, but at the same time a doctor of philosophy is hardly a curse to a university, even if he is not appreciated. It is absolutely necessary to be concrete in these matters, for the truth is that the painful fact is that Dr. Durkee has established an oligarchy in the capital of the greatest democracy of the world. Right under the very shadow of the Dome of Decembrus, the university as a grant, supports, by public funds, Decides On Trustees He just about decides the membership of his trustee board, destroys at his own will and pleasure, careers of professors, and does not give the trustee with delicateness caution to pass over the best trained. And meanwhile the trustees are planning a campaign of publicity. If they give publicity to the manner in which they conduct these days, they will choke his existence.

Howard's first great need is internal adjustment, which, if secured through Congress, the vital trouble is unheard of independence of the university, defy the public, whose fund, maintain Howard University. If the trustees owned Howard University, they would farther away from public opinion. Little Hope For Howard Until the present kind of organization is wiped out, there is very little hope for Howard. All the in which poor Howard suitors are able to this germ centre. Trustees The writers readjust his confidence in the honor and unquestionability of Howard University. This column has persistently made this acknowledgment. In the past and at present trustees have been selected from persons of mere motives, of elusive pride, and unimpractible character. With one or two exceptions, however, their careers have not brought them into intimate contact with university leaders. It is by no means necessary that trustees of universities should be acquainted with university problems; but it is necessary that they should know enough about such problems to guide them. They ought to be able to take his judgment in all matters purely pedagogical. Blind Leader Herlen lies the difficulty at Howard. The trustees cannot be laded by a leader, who, in education matters, is as useful as they are. They need to be the thing given them with the result so well known. Finally, they had to call in an expert to pass word on their president work of seven years, who the apprehension of the trustees reequated Dr. Durkee's administration. In their desire to back Dr. Durkee to the limit, they were the considerations remain in obscurity. Their sole aim has been to please their president, forgetting that they have a constituency, a faculty, and an alumni, to mention the general public, to They have not looked for absurdities in his recommendations or contradictions in his various nots. They have never once given credence to his advice, and have often been ascribed to Dr. Durkee. They have never once looked into the reason for the excusus of their professors. Unanimity and confidence in their attitude towards their president. Howard's deliverance from chaos cannot be expected through the integrity of the trustees, of whom he is a member. In spite of the trustees, and the next article will give the only solution. WHITELAW HOTEL Guests registered at the Whitelaw Hotel are: Dr. N.

African women will yet blood. Negroes concern us at present, will Africa receive him? Garvey will be deported from America after he has served his term, or pardoned. He will probable go There is London, again he may gratify one of his best desires speaking at the Royal Albert Hall to the silk hatted vampires of the British Isles.

NC168 THE CARDUI THE WOMAN'S TONIC Page Three 'HOLD MY BABY' PLEADS WOMAN IN R. R. STATION White Mother Thrusts Infant Into Hands Of Pastor, Then Flees By G. Endom Taylor New York—The Rev. M. St. John, pilot of the Good Sheep Church in Harlem, was made to live up to the name of his church Friday night while waiting at the Pennsylvania Station for some sisters he expected to arrive from the south. He got a sister all right and one sister, too. The sisters he had expected. In fact the one he got proved to be an elephant on his hands. It was a snow white ceremoniously pushed into his arms and the contrast between the two was striking. Especially so when the white baby insisted on yelling at the crowd, a week end travelers. The Rev. St. John had driven to the station in his car to meet sisters of the same cut who were to arrive. One Greencrest was estimated, would not only increase his own flock, but after securing jobs for them, they would in turn incidently swell the collections on pastor's salary Sun- But the visions of these collections were knocked into a cocked hat when a white woman suddenly collapsed and pleaded with him to hold her baby girl white she could get in line to buy her ticket. The woman evidently told both in him and the pastor seeing her. At any rate she forgot to come back for the child—and what is more, the baby renewed its screams, something up and discovered the new nurse. It is not known whether the "sister" from the South ever arrived or no. It is not yet known if the child turned over to a white flame. The pastor was left trying to get him to rememor to him prior to reach to his flock Sunday. "Lucky Sambo" Again New York, August—"Jucky Sambo," formerly called "Oil Scandals," the musical which has such a hit at the Howard Schoeple it will have at the atlantic in Washington, has again been put into action at Hurtig and Seamons's this week. The com-mercial of the show, "Sunders," Three Dixie Songbirds, Billy Higgins, Joe Byrd, Black Diamond Four and Ernest Whitman as Arthur Deiggs and "His Gang" are in the orchestra pit. The complete personnel numbers 60 persons. It is hoped that this recent start may improve the other unfortunate presentations. "I Love Health—I Always Enjoyed Health with Glant-Ox.

And it was this work that wore me down to almost a skeleton. I was such a nervous wreck that made me become babeable to my wife's sight. Tiredness was another evil of inine. 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 till 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.

Start Work Nine Days Later ACT IS A RIOT IN PICTURE HOUSES To Play Principal Western Cities Before London Open Nible Sissle and Euble Blake mil on the Olympic, Saturday, September 19th, to open in London, England, in the exclusive Metropole Club, Monday, September 28th. Sissle and Blake are at present touring the leading new picture houses, and are here work appearing at the Missouri theatre, the Famous Plays house in that city. This is a return engagement of two weeks, and the boys are re- peating the success of the movie in spite of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, "They are a riot," and the St. Louis Times, "Stopped the show, as usual." Night after night, the thundering apalause, rocks the big Missouri theatre, and night after night, the feature film must be taken off, and the boys brought back to appraise the enthusiastic audience. Sissie and Blake have been recorded by the biggest ovation ever recorded by artists playing this film, and this is the first in the history of the case; that the feature picture must be stopped to permit the reappearance of artists. Considered Advancement The picture theatre moguls were rather wary at first, booking Sissie and Blake in many reasons, easily. But these coloredists have more than made good, and now the rest of the picture house field is falling over one another to secure this attraction. The boys could remain in these picture palaces indefinitely. Playing these beautiful theatres is a happy conquest for Sissie and Blake, much more higher plane than vanished and much more remunerative. Following St. Louis, the boys are booked in Minneapolis, St. Paul, Duluth, Chicago, Omaha, Des Moines, Ruffalo, Philsburgh and Philader Davenport, Kansas in the account of their departure for London on the 19th, the dates after Duluth are being set back until they return. Many farewell parties are being arranged for the Blake, Bon, affair, and it is needless to state, new conquests await them when they appear in London. Dailies Acclaim Artist Miss Nannle C. Burden coloratura scapiano of New York is being accolied by the dailies of the Americar cities, Bermuda, and Alberta, Canada, in which she has appeared as being an artist of surpassing ability. Miss Burden is a graduate of Western University where she completed her course. Since learning her Alma Mater she has studied intensively. The audience at the concert of the Thomas Munpleal Band, held at Jefferson and Caroline street, did not join in the singing of "Old Kentucky Honest" Swiner. The guitar attack of these two gems was pumphly weak. "Oh Kattinka," "End of the World" and other "best musical seers" caught the parrons right between the eyes. An amusing feature was the singing of "Alabaster Band" a verse of "Till Pack My Toysticks." In Upper Berth." One who cracking guy said that the singers had a "fat chance" of parking in an upper or a lower on the Southern. As in other of the season's concerts, an enormous crowd greeted the band of which Director Thomas had and obligingly responded, it was evident that East Baltimore are strong rooters for the outcast. To Open New Music School What will doubtless came as good new to those musically inclined in the announcement of the opening of the Diggs Conservatory of Music, September 1, at 1124 Drulid Hill avenue. The Conservatory directed an audition of Mr. Madden S. Diggs, who is well known as an exceptional musician, having been under the tutelage of L. Llewellyn.Wilson for four years, a student of the Boston and European Conservatories. The faculty will consist of the following: Voico, M. Ruth Lee McAbee, Mrs. Annie Hasson-Lee, Mrs. Jessica Hasson-Public School Music and Theory; Mr. L. Llewellyn Wilson; Violin, Mr. M, L. Davage; Ph.D., Maurice S. Diggs, Marguerite Russ, Carrie Dorsey. Texans Serenade Ma Ferguson Austin, Tex. (A.N.P.)—More than three thousand people of both races attended "an evening with Negro composers" at Ebenzoe Tubercain Friday. The program was composed of the works of Harry T. Burieligh, J. Rosamond Johnson, N. Clark Smith, R. Nathaniel Dett, Hirt Simmons, and others. In response to an invitation from Gervis Mirmian Terguson, the chorus, under the direction of Prof. H. B. P. Johnson, of Nashville, Tenn., presented a program at the governor's mansion on the following evening. I Saw Today "Colonel" Fred Tydlings, one of the anchor men of the G. O. P. of Maryland, is located at the Convent of St. John in the town. The years have been kind to Mr. Tydlings, who possesses the same fire and astuteness about things political as in the palmy days. He was the first of the thousands of a Bitmoreans; it is recalled that he was the original "hot dog" and soft drink man at the old Oriole park, where he was in the baseball league. "Cousin Romey", his successor, is a brother. Call VErnon 6016 AND BL D BLAKE FILM TIPS ON TO THE MOVIES "Sky Raider" At Regen This is a melodrama starring Cavilator.

"Handed Four" No. 6 day—"Bull and Sand" The Afro-American—South's Biggest and Best Weekly THE ROOSEVELT The Coolest Place In The City Following a statement in the Afro-American of last week that the Wilson Brothers Orchestra had been allegedly called before the officials of the Musical Union to answer charges of working below the Union Seals; Secretary Lloyd Burney informed a representative of the paper that the charges had been disproved, and the han exonerated. According to the secretary, the Union has no standard scoris for dances, of which he has any knowledge. However, he says that his band has always adhered to a generally accepted agreement which though unofficial, nevertheless, was recognized. To substantiate his claim Burney has said that the musicians should consult receipts given various organizations for whom the Wilson Brothers had played. Charges. Further, the secretary said, "We know that the charges were preferred by Simpson and the Life Dixon organization. However, we have no other object than service. Every member of the band has a position and does not live with the livelihood. Hence there is no incentive to work more cheaply than others." Captain Grown's Opnlon. Captain George Brown, of the Steamer Favorite, was then quoted: "Because I am among them, and they are honest and dependable." The Wilson brothers have supplanted a formerly employed band on the Sunday evening trips of the Favorite. No one, said the secretary, as the interim drew near its close, "overwrote all of us with a flask in his mouth." REGENT Evidences of satisfaction were not conceived by the "customers" at the Monday matinee when the "Bright Players" pitched their amusement tents for another run. Led by "Little Joey" Bright patrons seemed truly amazed with what was received and did so with applause. Song and dance were interspersed with "comedy bits" which filled out the allotted running time. Justice does not permit any single number to take precedence over any other. Each favorite was accorded an ovation on their appearance and granted demands for recognition. The most unique feature was the finale in which impressions and limitations were given of departed theatrical luminaries: Bert Williams, Alda Overton Walker, S. H. Dudley, George Walker and John (Leubrelie) Hill. The Imperial Walker, the Jennie Hill Walker, and Leubrelie Hill received "top" applause—as they justifiably should have. MILLIS Holmes, Maybelle Brown, and Mrs. Robbie Bright are the female leads, "Dink Stewart, and Billy Valance," Bright and Bright Hubbard, and Bright essay the principal roles in the male section. The playing of Hubbard is of the most careful, finished callibre. Bizzarre Valance, Lincoln, Scottie May Pizzacchio, Lincoln, Scottie Henderson, are the very capable choreisters. A record making matinee filled a large portion of the auditorium on Monday. Thomas Billy Holmes, writing news-reel, a dandy comedy and news-reel completed the bill. "Gang's Latest" Film Hal Roach's Six Little Rascals know to fans as "Our Gang," decided to contribute something of their own to "Greater Movie Season" "The Gang" has made a polite satire of the business of making "bigger and better" pictures. Mary Daniels, Farina Mary Daniels, and Jackie Condon open for business in a deserted studio. They acquire a neighboring "kid" with an amateur movie camera, and a real movie "vamp."

News Gathering The first step in the making of the Afro-American begins in the news gathering, or editorial department. The whole third door is given over to the various departments which make up the Executive staff. His head is the executive editor, who directs the work and under him is the writer of the various sub-papers, each with a head of its own. These include the city editor, the sporting editor, the theatrical editor, society editor, and reporters, who "cover" courts, churches, fraternal and civic affairs. In addition to the group who give all of their time to the making of the paper, he is also under this department, also a group of special writers and columnists. Everybody knows "Professor Fudge," Kelly Miller, Amos Motum and Old Timer. Each of them surveys the news, and diligently for the grasslands of readers who have come to feel them a weekly necessity. But besides these, there are men in larger cities and centers who observe the week's news in interest, and compose the large spread, and include such cities as Washington, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, and other big cities where great centers of population make concentrate of interest, and correspondence which cover the news of small towns. The Afro-American has a correspondent in every town in Maryland, and in other smaller cities throughout the country. Its ability to gather information in its field among colored peninsulas is surpassed by no Journal, white-colored. In addition to the local field' writers and travellers in foreign countries are commissioned to teach in the official stuff, the bureau directors the special writers and correspondents it is required of more than a hundred men and women to gather this week and have brought this week for a few cents. Then Make You Laugh The Three Sisters. The Mira American carries each week an exclusive cartoon service, which includes the two Watson's "Fred" and "Jim." Jim's Anos Hokken strip is not only exclusive, but is the best race paper strip in this country. Fred Watson draws a sports cartoon and the regular editor's cartoon. These men make you want to help you to digest your food and keep peace in thousands of families. You will be interested in the side of the reporter's life that gives you one day's work of our court reporter. The following is taken from the diary, recorded on April 14, 1924. On that day the court reporter reached the office at 8:30, "punched" with his assignments for the day. The first carried him to the Northwestern police station. Following the court session there, he hurried to the Southern police station to back to the Northeastern to together some special data which he could not get earlier. On this particular morning he was standing behind the desk while the Sergeant went into another room. Suddenly a young man came hurriedly into the station and walked up to the desk facing the reporter, suddenly shaking out a recoil and called it to him. "I have shot my wife!" he said, nervously. By that time the Sergeant was at his post to the great relief of the reporter and things began to happen fast. At the very moment there was a flash of the police drug net signal, and a return that the reporter wanted already at the station. The flash came from the officer in the neighborhood of the shooting. "Ding, Ding, Ding." The police patched and ambulance is off. Intensively the reporter jumps in the patrol, and is on the scene of the killing in a few minutes. With the officers, he views the death of the reporter, he talks to the relatives, and he leaves the scene of the story. Back to the station he goes the official report for verification, and back to the scene to get facts leading up to the cause of the shooting and any other information possible which he hurries to the offices and writes up. Just one story. That very night the same reporter, standing in the Eastern police station, hears the signal for a prohibition rate, and rides out with the patrol, where agents are in the midst of an angry mob of bootleg sympathizers, making a raid. This ended the day. Such days often and make up the life of those who get into trouble sometimes in the habit of vice, sometimes in the seats of the mighty, often where sorrow and wretchedness abound, and then again anthem the gay bright lights and music of revelry, the reporter tastes the essence of life from all angles.

Wins $200 Prizes For Blues Cleveland, O.—Nissie Tressle Brown, of this city, and celebrated who ever colored vaudevillians are known, recently won a prize of $200 in a radio contest conducted by the Earldr Music Studio of WTAM. The contest was to determine if a popular radio singer would make it equally popular phon, or would make it equally popular, by a committee which was guided by the letters of radio listeners. The artist will make a trip to New York and make a test record in the studio of a popular recording com- pany. Should she be unable she will be given an opportunity to become a recording as well as a broadcasting star. Brown's Grove Brown's Grove was visited by a capacity Crowd, who went down on the 2 o'clock trip Sunday, and it is estimated that 1,400 took advantage of the twilight. There is no perceptible difference in the steamer ride and the grove from the first of the season; although prolonged variations usually take many patrons out of the city. Daylight excavations this week are: E. W. E. Church, Sparrows Point on Thursday, and St. Paul's Taboracle, No. 10, Galilean Fishermen, on Sunday. Knights Templars of St. John 264, and Ladies 219. St. Carambas gave a moonlight on Thursday, day. Victory Club and Willing Workshops on Friday, E. E. Church, a twilight on Saturday. It is believed that there will be sufficient outdoor weather for those who have not booked dates yet to do so. Star Owner At Shore Mr. E. C. Berger, owner and manager of the Star Theatre, and family are taking their annual vacation at Virginia Beach. All are having a splendid time at the resort. The Star will open on August 29th, or September 4th. East Baltimoreans have been obliged to come up town for their vaudeville since the closing of the Monument street house for the summer. Columbia Burlesque New York.—More than 75 per cent of Columbia Wheel Shows will be colored next season. The success of the innovation tried by Jimmy Cooper with his wife, Kate, has been widely decreasing business in the houses of the circuit in thickly populated cities makes the bid for increased patronage compulsory. It is pointed out that the takings of the customers, the complexity of the customers, White patrons, too, seem to be developing a taste for Negro entertainment. Skidmore Recovers New York.—Will E. Skidmore is buck in the city after a sojourn in Arizona where the songwriter went for his health. The veteran is now hard at work on new numbers. on the way to the printed sheet. The "copy" is given to the operator, who first sets the heads. This is done by machine, as is the body of the story. Four modern lintype machines turn out the type lines for the twenty pages which make up the edition. These work very much as a typewriter, and some idea of work involved here may be gleaned by the fact in this issue, there are about 2,550,000 letters printed. Each one of these letters meant one stroke on one of these machines. If you had to strike one of these strokes each second, it would take one person six months to do it. 一 "BILL" ROBINSON IS A DANCING GENIUS "BILL" ROBINSON IS A DANCING GENIUS Writer Interviews World's Greatest Single "Buck And Wing Dancer AUTHOR DESCRIBES NEGRO GENIUS Says Negro Acquired Rudimentary Harmony Before He Left Africa For America The following excerpts are gleaned from a recent publication "Everyman's Genius" by Mrs. Mary Austin, white, one of our outstanding playwrights, novelist, poets and critics of our time. Briefly the author has set out to explain the basic underlying character of genius, the process by which genius takes as conditioned by the individual's talents and racial heritage. In her thoroughly practical dissection of genius, a gift that Mrs Austin leaves is the possession of the human relation to talent, to environment to education and then points the way for the individual to make the most of genius that is his. For instance, in a chapter on "social environment" she describes "Hilda dozen times in my search which has extended over twenty years cases of car playing Indians have been reported to me, but in every case not apparent to the eyes a litter of author's has shown the blood to be mixed." "On the other hand the Negro who and already acquired rudimentary harmony before leaving Africa, has while living in a social environment where humankind the most developed in almost universal genius for it. In the appendix Mrs. Austin gives examples of the sort of documentation on which the conclusions described in the book Koch's work are effective in women in their respective fields. Thus "Jill" Robinson (Bojangles) known as the "World's Greatest Single" and for many years a Keith feature was interviewed. The result of the interviews is no production in the following paragraphs. Dances Spring Out of Air I can't say exactly how the dances come into my head. It's not any kind of dance that makes them come. They just sort of spring up. Sometimes in dreams, I dream that I am dancing for the foreign country, and when I wake up I try to remember what I danced, and I work out the taps. That one member danced for me, and I said to my wife, "I dreamed I was dancing for the king last night and all the time I was dancing, golly! I'm going to see if I can do it." And I worked it out. Going up and down, like a kind of folk-dance, tell us that the original of the Buck and Wing was a religious innovation for the increase in the number of dances that in this dream origine we have a reversion to racial sources slumbering at the bottom of the deep-self. The progression of the stairs is sig **HONOR HOME** *Ever since I was a kid it seemed like there wasn't anything I cared much about but dancing, never bad any idea of it. I got off at it. I just danced out of my head, just as it came along. I kind of thought that when I was dead if people said "Would you do it good, good luck and wing?" It would be about all I cared for. I wanted to do it good. And I didn't do it. I did three different dances, and I can do three or four different ones. I work all the time. Every day I practice in the kitchen at home until I have to want it. **BUBE GENIUS** *I don't get it from the music. I get it out of my head. I don't have any music to practice by, but I kind of hum something and I have it orchestrated to the day to the music, I dance right for me, the way I want it. I don't dance to the music, I single bar, it throws me out. And it has to be good music. Not any ring-time. I don't dance to the jazz class music, like "The Brazilian Dance," and I go up the stairs to the "Melody in it." I can't make anything like that, but I have it made REGENT REGENT PLAYERS WILL PRESENT TRIP TO AFRICA A biplane flying over a crash site. The Sky Raider Jacqueline Logan and Capt. Nungesser THRILLS!

HORTON BLACK Charges Miller Show With Injecting "Smut" At New York Theatre New York, August.—In "Ole New York" again, after a four-day stay in the Monumental City, we sacrificed one night's sleep to let our readers in on the latest cabaret dope. Dropping in at Happy Rhone's Orchestra Club, Inc., we were greeted by the new manager, Mr. Gussio O Novello, and learned that I had missed Happy but a few minutes. Two entertainers and a 5-piece orchestra constitute the line-up. The audience is made up chiefly of O'Fays. . . About 4 a. m., we were being introduced to the cheluteria of the Club Basha, where the elite of New York's music scene is grand opening. A warm night and a crowd made up of O'Fays, Chinese and just as much the occasion one long to be remembered. At The Club Basha Mr. D. Horton Black, one of the fastest friend makers in the country, is in charge of affairs, and is unexcelled as a host. E. E. Pugh (Turkey Bosom), is staging a Revue featuring Margaret Hicks, and Olivia Hicks, who is the house manager and orchestra leader, is featuring his New Orleans Jazz Boys, and it just too bad. These boys excel all orchestras that I can recall in rhythm. Mr. Basha's recitation of "Dear Old Southland" on an alto saxophone, drew him so excited that he soaked so many duties to perform, and being tired from preparing for this event, he declined to respond. Smiling Mr. Black Everywhere one looked he saw the smiling face of Mr. Black, allying seemingly attending everybody's need and busy directing affairs. The press wishes these gentlemen success, which is bound to come under such management. Herbisa was him, and he had hered Herbisa's Inn, which had an early death. Columbia Burlesque Lena Wilson, formerly with (Turkey Rosy) Pugh, opens soon with Ed Daly's Burlesque, while Pugh, who refused their offer is staging a revue at the Elmhurst Slim Henderson are headliners at the Lincoln.

Book Chat Book Chat Chairman, Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People THE NEGRO AROUND THE WORLD By Willard Price. Published by The George Doran Company, 244 Madison avenue, New York City, Price $.75 by mail $.85. In this book of seventy-five pages, "every chapter contains the essence of five thousand words, bolted to five hundred." So the cover reads, and is certainly remarkable that in this method, the book is interesting. The writer points out that the Negro will soon be an enormous factor in international life. It is as far around Africa as around the world, and in this vast continent, now that science is beginning to halt disease, it is estimated that the race it represents will undoubtedly the race, the black population will double every fifty years". Moreover, Africa is a rich continent, with twelve crops of alfalfa a year raised in parts of East Africa, with the finest cotton, with a large share of the world's rubber, with more cocoa than any other continent, and the South, with gold and diamonds. And on the other hand, the fringe of whites around the edge is populated by Nerros. Of the black people in Africa, we are told that their worst sin is idleness. "Idleness brings after it arn endless train of the cells. Idleness has sunk the African native in a degradation of mind, from which he can be lifted only by being taught attractiveness and not hard work." Most of women is a second son. Women are sold as slaves were sold, "At a bargain sale, two infectives were sold for a good goal." Superstition is a third fault, and this is hut slowly being removed by the missions. "Of every hundred people in Africa, three are Christians, thirty-six are Mohammadans." The Western sense, only one African tribe, having a written language before the missionaries came. One does not read far to see that the book is written with the Protestant missionary bias. No American woman is likely to look kindly on Mohammedanism, but I cannot but think it would be better to say "Mohammedanism, as taught among the blacks, is a religion of excused vice, easy morality and supreme laziness. It chloroform for an already too steep contiment. It is making a bad situation worse." And is this true that Mr. Price says with much emphasis: "It is the everlasting person of mankind, who has been like hurrying physically will never run very far mentally or morally." Half of the book deals with Africa, and half with the new world. The chapters on the progress of the Negro in the United States are full of praise. Of the West Indies, the story is less friendly. Dutch Dutch, on the Barbados; but Jamaica, or rather Kingston, is described as a place of pirates. Mr. Price evidently only knows Port Antonio and Kingston. The Jamaicans of the bills, away from the demoralizing influence of the whites in the seaport towns, Dutch Dutch, are the most important people in any the universe. Hulst, as usual, receives the most censure. This is the island where the green seep is worshipped. Along the coast, here are a few missionaries, but they are "like a drop of water in a sea of blood." This is insistent. Not insisting, to the work of the Catholic Church, whose priests are busy throughout the island. The cultured Haitians are utterly ignored. We would suggest that Mr. Price read the article in the August (CRISIS, on Negroes as poets, translated from the Danish, how well-known and highly praised are Haitian poets in France, and on the continent. The book ends with a word as to the the book. "There are two rift factors in the future of the black race. One is its innumerably rapid growth, the other is the equally innumerable rapidity with which it progresses, wherever π is brought under progressive influences." The right progressive influences are Protestant missions, and the left is the more especially to support them with money and their personal efforts. One may say of the book that it has interestingly hollow down current knowledge and current prejudices. And the fact that it is on the side of the book how much prejudice is waning.

CARROLL'S LETTER Memphis, Aug—We had Kid Thomas' Jazz Babies last week. Kid Thomas has 17 people, and if he can't produce a show better than he has now he better had close his show here. Kid's show is weak, and needs a whole lot of rehearsal and new numbers. This is the first show that has been here for some time that the patrons have not enjoyed. The opening is one of the best that they may tab out and is up-to-date, but could be made livier with the 4 dancing boys. Ernest Henderson and James Callaway, two boys of wonderful personality, and good dancers, pick up the show in the spot where it is weak.

FLOWERS ARRESTED IN SOUTHERN TOWN Famous Fighter And Church Deacon Hailed Into Court On Speeding Charge BOND OF $2,100 REQUIRED FOR APPEARANCE SEPT. Fighter Was On His Way To St. Petersburg To Visit His Mother When Held Orlando, Fl., (A.N.P.)—The worst outrage that has ever been committed in this State was committed when "Tiger" Flowers, the "Georgia Tornado, "was arrested for speeding. His arrest was not considered an outrage, but "Tiger" was placed under $2,100 boud for his appearance here September 11, which the public thinks is an outrage. The speed laws of Florida allow 45 miles an hour on open road, and 25 miles when passing through a city. The law requires that road police arrest drivers who are not arresting officers. "Tiger" passed them when he did not have on his uniform and he simply followed, hoping that he would run across a policeman in uniform. Then he rode alongside "Tiger" the fighter forced his motorcycle to the road edge and caused injuries to him. "Tiger" was later arrested by a policeman in uniform and brought he by a police officer under bond for $2,100, which he paid himself and continued to St. Petersburg, to visit his mother, who lives there. He charged against "Tiger" is "over-speeding and culpable negligence." Legal opinion is that no offense in connection with speeding would justify such a heavy bond, especially since the State are inclined toward liability to tourists on the open road. However, citizens here think it is because of the color of "Tiger's" skin that he was thus dealt with. In the court, the biggest race paper in the State has raised a howl about the arrest.

The Afro-American—South's Biggest and Best Weekly --- --- Tennis Champ Criticises Photo Of Ted Thompson's Form Stance And Grip All Wrong Says Edgar Brown Jack Johnson Made Sporting Public Like Him By Edgar G. Brown My constant ranting may strike the uninitiated as rather titer; but the most casual observer may appreciate the insinption of so called tennis players. They apparently have an intelligent assimilation. I would hate to think it a terrible affliction asiminity. So many are absolutely adamant to correct my typos; doxy; they seem to take pride in being brainless freaks. If I were to think of the humorous but a ways intelligent assimilation. I would hate to think it a peculiar primitive matriarch. So many are absolutely adamant to correct style and orthodoxy; they seem to take pride in being brash and free. It makes one think of the humorous but always timely saying, "Bull dumb people," and the greatest tennis players in the world exhibiting the best in the modern scientific game right under our very noses. America and what do we profit? Ted Thompson A nineteen year old sophomore (Ted Thompson) at one of our accredited schools gets his picture in the Mirror, the much sought after likeness, "Coming Champion." My label would be "Crazy Contribution," and why? There is this youthful college memoir that goes to rar away not in distance Baltimore and beats the No. 13 (thirteen) ranking A. T. A., and local champion and thereby gets his picture taken. Of the folks who say the Riff merits the same result as the enjoyed by the superior French thinker could see that reproduction and understanding for a short philosophy on, "Are we coming or going?" or "Can Savages live on poison gas dropped from airplanes?" There is a young man with every advantage to form a social contact, and unusual economic opportunity that has afforded him great pleasure for study and physical development, actually assimilating to the jungles, perfectly content to pursue the line of least resistance. It was in the Reno fight between Jeffries and Johnson that I began to learn the basic principles of prosecution by taking a big affair like that successful. An editor in the West has written to ask me if I ever knew of a real grudge fight. Frankly, I never did. I don't believe there ever was one. In the old days it used to be accepted his proper form for a one-fight grudge fight while training. There were stories, probably encouraged by some hoster, about two fighters meeting accidentally while doing their grudge. This was supposed to convince the public that they were after enemies and, consequently, would put up a harder fight. I never believed in it and the more I see of the fight game the less I believe in it. The public likes to look on a fight as a sporting event. I never believed in the manly submission by being friendly to his opponent before and after the fight. That was my theory, and I put it into practice with Jeffries and John- I used to make a point of going fishing or hunting with Jeffries, and of visiting him at his headquarters, and Jack Johnson's six racing car and ride with him. I never tried to keep anybody from seeing me do it, either. I ought to have heard the bushy-eyed warning me about this. Why the Fighters Hobnob "It's had done for you to be seen out with these fighters," they would say. "They would be ground talk. Don't forget you are the promoter and the referee." "Maybe you are right." I told one adviser, "but I'm going out fishing to-morrow. I like to talk to him." Often Jeffries would ask me about Johnson. "What kind of shape is he, "Fine," I told him. "He'll give you quite a light." Then Johnson would ask about Jeffries. I would tell him the same thing. I would never try to flatter one of them by telling him he had a clutch. That would be foolish. In later years I have gone further in this line. I have made special arrangements for the two fighters, and I have fought them fight. The fans like that, and so do the fighters, for that matter. I took particular points, for instance, to see that Demacy and McCoy were friendly way before their fight. I even arranged for them to play golf together. To me that looks like sporadism. And we were getting ready in Reno there was much whispered talk to the effect that the fight had been fixed. That is all foolishness. Then I am asked about it to this day. Jeffries had no idea that Johnson would win that fight. If anything, it was Johnson who lacked the confidence. He wasn't so sure. A proof of that was that Johnson won of winning, he insisted on 60 per cent of the purse going to the winner. Johnson felt the same way about it. If there had been any thought of Johnson laying down, they would have split the purse up. He could go and bet that Jim Jeffries thought himself sure of winning. $66,000 Jeff's Film Profit In justice to Jeffries, by the way it is a fact that the sudden change of climate from San Francisco to Rio affected him so seriously, he stained clothes diarrhhoea. That made him slow and logy, and he could not entirely eradicate it by training. A big item in that fight, apparently, was the moving mast at start, was the moving mast at Johnson and Jeffries were to divide their share of this equally. Johnson made a bad mistake of selling fulled to sleep by the grims of his peers, and oblivious to the constant Grosly satisfaction to be a pupil of forgotten school and a "good" tennis player, he smiles as he makes him play a tennis players discarded in 1857. The Picture See this picture of the second ranking A. T. A. player making a backhand drive off the ground and running me now. It is to laugh! The left foot is forward (he is a righthanded player). The grip of his racket is the same as he would use for a forehand drive, but he is coming directly into him. It is impossible to make a fine free arm swing because he is too close to the ball and has reached him is on the forward part of his body, where it should be after he hits the ball on his follow thru. There is some poor unthinking tennis aspirant will see this picture and try to make this same obviously ineffective bake technique in a future? Does it require any particular mental effort or innate capacity to read a tennis text book, to see Mr. Hilden, the World's tennis hero, play a little common horse? Johnston-Bichardson Advanced students of the driving game may take a lesson from the Johnston-Kleibers tryout for the spite of Mr. Vincent Kleibers' phenomenal volleying ability and only a cut stroke backhand, even though he possesses a good service and foreground. He is a skilled and confident player put together at the age of twenty-one (21) years he fell in two straight matches once in straight sets before Mr. William Kleibers. He is a famous forehand drive of super-lative speed and uncanny direction at the age of thirty (39) or more, and consistently drives consistently for Johnston, consistently with the exception of the master driver, William T. Tilden II during the last seven years, and men must be our guide posts and our inspiration. out his entire picture interest for $50,000. Jeffries hold on to his, and each time he him $6500. It Reno, the prestigious arrangements took on a different air. There was all sorts of fun. The newspaper man really had more to write about than if he had stayed in Sun City. He had the primary romance of the Goldfield fight about it. Johnson kept his admirers, and others mused in his racing autobiography. He had an idea that Jack was not sorrowful about racing that car. Don't you believe it. He thought him the greatest racing driver in the world, and would take any sort of chances. And: That Bull Fiddle Johnson also knew how to play that big ball fiddle. He was his desi- gnation for night or afternoon and make the old bulb snort. He could actually do tricks with that big fiddle. He was to have chicken dinners to have to have chicken dinners. Always he had a smile for everybody. It was a golden smile, too. It always me as if I ask Johnson had more teeth than anybody in the world. There were frequent reports that Jerries was acting ugly and surly, and Johnson was happy-go-lucky and friendly. As a matter of fact, Jerries is a big, friendly fellow. He was sufferer of back pain, and I never tran because he would, he could not entirely get over it. That made him worry. He was not surly or sullen. He was not a tran because I wanted to learn as much as possible about my job as referee. As the Fourth of July approached he business made me sit up and think.

His wildness coupled with a timely hit to the showers and brought back Strong to the doff the shirt. Was the ball too long to could and he wanted to blame that the Cubans had their batting eyes. Meantime Pairo served the Sox with an assortment of twirlers, which kept them helpless and dazed for the full nine innings. 49. Two runs gained by the Sox in the first innning were enough to win. Lallard walked and went to third on Holloway's two base hit. Holloway was stopped however by a double play that also nabbed Beck with Wilson was safe on a pop to center.

Chicago.—The release of Umpires, Boone and Bert Gholston, by the Negro National League is the beginning of an effort to clean up the umpliring system which has been anything but up to the standard. Only two men now in the employ of the league, are sure of their jobs: they work for Donelson all the work of umplires has been so wreached that President Foster could do nothing else but make the change. Disregarding the early season pleas of different owners and managers, as to the ability of the men used, Foster tried to stick the season out, but for the regular day, folks who paid their way at the box office, were complaining. Fans quit coming to the parks, and still no improvement. Augustine and Snail, of New Orleans also were given their release. Foster intends to use colored apparel but they must be able to deliver the goods and know the rules of the games. At the end of three years' trial, the majority are worse now than at the beginning. Given every protection and trusted, they have been given the right to play players on their own discretion, but they have lost their heads, forced players to lose their hands and face the game, and when unjust decisions have caused players to become unruly. Players have always been instructed to obey arbitrators, right or wrong. So great were the complaints from the fans that Poster ordered all umplers to be taken to the chance to work out under his watchful eye. Then come the change. Some have failed to learn to use the left hand for balls and the right for strikes. Fan's don't know what a butter has on him. Others would be so far off on the ruling according to the books that the decisions became a joke in the eyes of the In St. Louis, one umbrella refused the Cubs' right to change a pitcher in a league game, and later on in the same game, when the St. Louis club wanted a change of hurlers, he refused to allow it. Such actions, the very kind that wreck all attendance all along the league circuit, made the president of the league start a house cleaning. GIANTS-MONARCHS GREAT SERIES Kansas City, Mo.—Kansas City won the first game of the critical series with the American Giants, 6-3. Bases on balls were the Giants' downfall.

Despite the fact that Rube Currie yielded seven safe hits, while Hildale could garner but six from Junnelo's stants, the elongated righthander was returned a winner in a rather easy victory over manager Pompey's islanders. Two of the blows struck by Bolden's charges were of the damaging nature, being home run clouts by Capt. Warfield and Clint Thomas. These circuit-induced enough runs to gain the verdict. Warfield put his club in the lead in the fifth inning by pounding a drive into the center field bleachers with the sacks unoccupied and his crush in the following frame with Judy Johnson on second frame. ```markdown ``` Wade Johnston, former Black Sox fielder who was traded to the Kansas City Monarchs this year, and his bat were important factors in the world champions winning from the American Giants in their series this week. He led off man one of the Monarchs, and incidentally one of the best in the country. He is a fast base runner, a good fielder and a sure hitter. Rannoke, Va.—Monday, August 10th, the N. and W. Stars met the Pond's Giants, of Winston-Salem in this city. The Tarheels won the game seventh inning, when they scored six runs and made up inside 15 errors and outstretched won 3 to 5. The Richmond Stars dropped two games to the N. and Stars in 14th and 15th. The game was a win and was won by the home boys by the score of 1 to 0, and the second game was also won by the home team at his mercy. Awards had the victors at his mercy.

To Phil Cockrell's mind, Jose Maria Fernandez, capable receiver of the Cuban invaders, is by far the most middlesome individual that ever left Cubas verdant isle for these arid grasses. This veteran mitt artist who has commuted to and from the States for the past decade, inserted a piny single in the fifth inning of the fracas waged at Hilldale Park and deprived Phil Cockrell of a no-hit, non-run game. Cockrell waged at Cubans, 4 to 0. Oscar, the ace of the Cuban hurlers, opposed Cockrell, and since Oscur believes in wetting the horse-hide, the slippery elm market should show a boom if many such battles were staged. Aside from the first frame Oscur practiced a steady game when the home club gathered three singles and mixed up the contest for three runs that rewed up the contest. Warfield made a heroic effort to keep Cockrell's state clean, but his teammate Marandez's in the fifth inning was fattier, the ball just cluding his grasps.

ROBER Longest Ball Game On Record Went 22 Innings In Frostburg One of the greatest and longest ball games on record was played in Frostburg, Md., 20 years ago, August 12, 1905, between the Frostburg and the Lonecong teams. The game lasted 21 innings, without a run being scored. The winning and only run was scored in the twenty second innning on an error, and inadvertently the only error made during the record contest. Unfortunately no box score was written, and little, which lasted three hours and eighteen minutes, allowed nine minutes per innning. The correspondent who covered the game sent in the following report to the AFRO, which was at that time the AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER: 22 Innings The people of Frostburg have the proud distinction of having Chestertown, Md.—Brond Neck won a 13-4 victory from Wye, Neck last week during the annual picnic of Queen Anne's County at Rolphus Wharf. On August 29th, Georgetown will play the Community House Defenders in Baltimore at the Black Sox baseball park.

Last season the Lincolnads had a fairly good club, but this season, through a series of mishaps, in May and June, several players were injured. Gerard Williams, and Dave Brown were lost, which all but wrecked the team. Since June Gans has gotten no less than twenty new players, but somehow, he was unable to get together a winning combination. Realizing that the fault might be puggy his, he decided to take an opportunity to manage the team. In accepting his resignation, Jas. F. Keean, owner, paid a tribute to Gans' worth as a player, and expressed his appreciation for the efforts Gans had made since he became manager. Shortly after Gans' resignation George Seales was given his release, but because of a personal difference with the owner. Bill Lindsay, formerly of the Wilmington Potomac, has been placed in charge of the team, as captain, and on Sunday, August 16, he has been placed in the better balanced combination than has been seen at the Protectory Oval in several months. The Lincoln's lost both ends of a doubleheader to the champion Hollidale pine, but the Pennsylvania had to win the first game was 2-4 and 8-8 six runs being made in the last two innings. Gans is the last of the older players with the Lincoln. He had been with the team since his return from France as a soldier in the World War II while running bases and was out of the game for a whole season. Last year he succeeded Joe Williams as manager of the club. This was Scales' second season with the team. Since coming East, he had made a reputation as one of the best batting infielders in the Eastern league. Captain Lindsey had the following line-up in the games on Sunday: Singer, second base; Lindsey, shortstop; Mason, left field; Finley, third base Hudspeth, first base; Washington, center field; Young, right, Turn and field; Hitchcock, centerers, and Chambers, Harper, Hayward and Nuttall, pitchers. Chambers pitched the first game against "Nip" Winters Sunday, and allowed only 8 scattered hits to the eighth inning, when he brushed his thumb and had to be taken out. He was able to hit two home runs and game, after Hillelid has scored 6 runs off Harper, in two innings. He was able to hold the visitors to 3 hits, for the remaining seven innings. The others players on the team are comparatively young, and the Owner, Keenan, hopes to develop them into a strong combination for next season will be given the acclaim "test against the Royals" at Glens next Sunday.

Team Is Comeback, First Place Chicago—The second half of the Negro National League took on a different aspect last week when the Kansas City Monarchs, who sewn to have regained the old time form, took the series from the St. Louis Stars and knocked the Stars out of first place. The next two weeks play—St. Louis, entertaining, Indianapolis, given when they should have little trouble in winning and Kansas City bucking up against the American Giants, for four games in Kansas City, and three in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where the National Negro Business Men's League meets. From there the Chicago club won against St. Louis, and the outcome of that series has a big bearing on the outcome of the second half of the league race. Rube Foster with the addition of McDonald, from the East, to his pitching staff, and that of third baseman, Stratton secured from the Bremingham club, will present a strong lineup for the balance of the Since Pete Hill has been scheduled to take over the management of the Birmingham Black Barons, it has been strongly runnored that John Beckwith, all round infield star, will return to the Chicago club before the season ends.

This examiner, who will work out of the office of the insurance Commissioner, will follow up cases and strive to eliminate, practices which insurance men say are costing them thousands of dollars an- Faked Illness There are hundreds of men and women, heads of some of the companies say, who regularly each year "go on the societies" and with the assistance and often the connivance of some of the physicians, are able to illness and collect several weeks of insurance disability benefits. One case was called to the attention of th department where one woman belonging to three separate companies has collected five week's worth of money each year for the last six years. There are certain seasons of the year, they say, when the companies look for a larger amount of illness, but these do not follow the Board of health mortality or disability in fact but are more prevalent preceding Easter and other festive holidays.

The body was recovered by three of his companions only after he was beyond aid.

No Hardship The move to curb fake illness will not work a hardship in those entitled to sick benefits, its promoters claim. On the other hand it will insure the prompt payment of all legitimate claims. As one insurance man puts it, "It has come to the place where we can deal honestly with the disability department. The only other alternative would be to increase premiums, and this would be unjust to those who deal honestly with the companies. Under the prevailing rate three weeks of illness benefits are more than is paid in by the insured. Cases studied show that many people plan to "go on the societies" each year at an actual profit. They point out that the cost of carrying the risk, the protection of the companies, cannot be profitably carried when there is a wholesale practice of this nature.

WEBB AND MARSHALL LEGION DELEGATES Elected To Represent Local Post At Hagerstown Next Week FUNERAL ALLOWANCE FOR WAR VETERAN At the regular meeting of the Walter Green Post No. 14, American Legion, held on last Wednesday, the following delegates and alternates were elected to represent the post at the State Convention, to be held in Hagerstown, Maryland on Aug. 29 to publish an exclusive Capt. Walter T. Webb, delegate, leader, Post Commander; Ed W. Marshall, delegate; John Berry and Bradford James, alternates. All veterans of United States wars, their relatives and friends, should take notice of the following: Funeral allowances. When a veteran war dies after discharge, or resignation from the service, and does not leave sufficient assets to defray expenses of his burial and transportation of his body, the government will pay a sum, not to exceed $100 for burial expenses, and pay not to exceed $5 for a flag to drape the casket. In other cases, the service officer should immediately get in contact with the United States Veterans Bureau. If death occurs while such person is receiving medical, surgical or hospital treatment, or vocational training at government's expense, the bureau will pay, in addition to burial expenses, the actual cost of transportation of the body, to the place where the burial is performed at a particular location of the United States. This precision is applicable to veterans of all wars. Practically all phases of the burial claims are handled in the central office. In filling a claim for burial allowances, care should be taken to present bills covering the expenditures. These bills should be on bill receipt and should be presented by the service showing for whom the service was rendered, and by whom the account was paid, if paid. If the account has been paid, the claim for burial allowances should be in the name of the person paying the account. If two or more persons have paid the accounts, then a person covering the portion paid by that person. If the account has not been paid then the claim for reimbursement should be made by the person or firm which furnished the service. Walter Green Post, No. 14, will be glad to look after this for colored ex-service men. Write to headquarters—Room B, War Memorial building, Baltimore, Md.

Thoughts Of The Founder Sein 18 oint From Writings of the Founder of the Afro-American. J. P. M. It was a hard thing to educate the people of Negro newspaper. Much hard work had to be done to overcome the ignorance and the prejudice against it. Long time before the palisade, the bar, and medical practitioner found that it was a help rather than a hindrance to them. Businessmen found out that his business could be increased by its advertising columns, and we are sorry he found it out to this day. Nevertheless in all these years, it has been doing a work for the work that we had been doing through any other changed. It made a bold stand for the nights that were being denied the people, and presented the claims of the race for better things. Tempting Silly Young Girls The automobile, properly used, is one of the greatest of all instruments for pleasure as well as profit. When misused it is the devil's own master. Young girls could look upon this great truth and hold to it, there would be fewer heart-burnings and less work for the police. As the devil's lure, the automobile seems to be a lodestone for the venerable girl. An invitation to ride is all that is necessary to enter the windfall of the girl who loves that summertime is the silly season, and that young men are as foolish and as daring as the girls themselves. The only one when is evening's ride ends in a tragedy. But there is this to say: No man, or old man, has the right to occupy the man is the stronger willed, and the way to a girl's deserved law. The law is pinn on that Besides this, the parents are in direct measure to blame for much of the ill that the flood of today are persecuted too many liberties, and thus their respect for warning given to city and county officers can aid breaking up the scandals of petrifier parties only by the strictest laws now in fashion by the boldest of laws that are shocking communities everywhere, and that are breaking up the land. Swimming is one of the easiest and most natural things in the world, and the sudden of this they would learn to swim much more easily, and become much better swimmers, and would be the cover drownings, and the water was the water. When that is lost, the water to swim comes of itself. The water himself to swim, and happily before he knows only don't start trusting too easily and happily to swim. The water is friendly only when the water is sensible. The water want. That is the second fact that is afraid of sinking, when he is afraid of sinking, when he is go under and stay under if he is go under and stay under if he how he he bobbles. As long there is breath in his lungs, he lighter than water. But the water is not support anyone who is clumsy. The swimmer must always remember that as much of his weight possible must be beneath the head, and as much as possible part of the body, as much of as possible must be under water, swimming on the back is easiest to do. The head is supported. Most swimmers of swimmers come from that. That is nearly always unnecessary, as cramps will only keep his head, and remember that he is no longer with cramps than without, as will usually be floating position, and will usually keep the cramps disappear.

Mitchell was lynched by a mob in Excelsior Springs, Mo., last week on the charge of hating an automobile, heating up a white man and attempting assault upon his female companion. Investigation afterwards proved that the white man attacked was in the cattle stealing business with Mitchell, and owed the later money. Mitchell stopped Utt's car and fled, but the man and fount. Utt was kicked. His companion interfered. Mitchell threw her in the back seat and went home. Angered by the incident, Utt ran away and fount. The individual assault and the mob got. In its Ku Klux law enforcement. Kansas newspaper men recall that two years ago, James Scott was lynched at Columbia, Mo., a mob. He was shot and killed by a man. Afterwards the girl identified the real man, who is serving a 26-year term in prison for the crime. Ku Klux mobbs have as their motto: "160 Per Cept Americans." Act 1, Investigate Afterwards. Rough Leather A colored family was the first to own a home in the 1700 block of Lamont suret. Later, white residents built a cemetery around him. The family moved to another colored family, which was mobbed by whites when it attempted to move in. A police guard was furnished, and a white youth arrested, when caught in one of the acts of vandalism. The case came to trial before Magistrate Robbler, who gave the youth the minimum fine of $1 and costs. This action on the part of Mr. Robbler is the best incentive to help the youth their hands. His queer sense of justice, however, probably accounts for the fact that he was recently relieved of a regular post and made Magistrate-at-large. Incidentally this is the same magistrate statement two weeks ago that policemen have a right to stop automobiles and the passengers are white or colored. Civic organizations should ask Governor Ritchie to put the administration courts into more capable hands. Dr. Moton Says Dr. R. R. Moton, of Tuskegee, before the Business League. Everyone of you can doubtless point to instances where business developed within the race has failed a successor to the original founder. At this moment I call to mind three or four exceptionally good businesses that have either failed or been successful in another race for want of a competent man to carry on where others have left off. I know some but are now hanging some, waiting for the right man of the race to take over their management. To fall in this obvious responsibility is to limit the growth of the business, ignoring over again. In the last analysis, this means not only to stand still, but to fall behind while other races are continually forging ahead. The great business enterprises represented by whites in America represent in most cases, successive generations of men of the business, sons are early introduced to the details of management, are later taken into partnership and finally attain to the leadership of the business. Such is the history of the Morgans, the Yunderbills, the Goulds the Schieffelins, the Rockefeller and other no name players. The lack of a team has not remained within the family, capable partners have been developed who have maintained the integrity of the house and carried on to greater success. Such partners include Lachie Loeb and Sears, Reebuck & Company, The Convoyant Railroad, the Baldwin Locomotive Works, and a host of other companies. The Negro race must develop its strength to compete its gains and large its resources. Prohibition (Associated Negro Press) Members of Mt. Calvary Baptist Church, Birmingham, Ala. have come to the front in an effort to protect the good name of our whisky seller, whose whisky selling charges, with the following letter, published in the Birmingham News: "This is to certify that the Rev.

JONES Methodism And Prize Fights The Methodist Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals has started a fight against prize fighting in this country. On general principles the church has but there are many things worse than prize fighting that the great Methodist Church might stand out more firmly against. PETER B. There is actual war, for instance, when two wolves a bout between two men who get ample pain from enjoyment among him in being still responding to Wm. N. Jones still responding to the animal instincts, but war is among the youngest and best, makes widows and sows sorrow abroad on the earth. *Methodism and most religions condones, if they do not sanction war, the training of not only men but also men in death depliments. They did not spike out when men rained treachery poisoned gas down on human beings, but in the face of durance in a fair and main combat, well, that's another question. Perhaps nothing so typeset the progress of human beings as the prize fight. Religion, art, education, science, the heart of factors in human development, but even in religion, the real spirit, of fair play and straight dealing has not developed in spirit as far as it has in native human combat. Churches under this Board of Temperance, Prohibition and a Fear of God, have the leuce to the Bait of prejudice; they speak of brotherhood but their church books, some of them, are still closed against some on account of the color of their If you have ever observed a typical scramble for place among leaders of some churches and note the manner in which you feel, you feel that the rules of the prize fight ring could well be used here. In the prize ring, except in rules use, is not inappropriate, there is no racial prejudice; there is no striking beneath the belt; there is no use of undue advantage. There is this development in the prize ring, that you are not to reach in religion, in business and everyday human relations. God Shall Wipe Away All Tears From a little uncomfortable room called a church out in the 1400 block of Laureus, street, a group of women emerges wired up, right staturing, and had spent the last hour of the week. Upon their lilies were the retinue, "God shall wipe away all the sins of our religious feelings have their basis in an effort to find relief from the trials and tribulations of this world of ours. It is still a far from happy place of abode. Go to almost any of the hundreds of the little one room churches and you will find men and women who are seeking to bury the hard struggle of the day in emotional forgetfulness. Some human beings resort to dope; some bury their lives in bright lights and artificial living. But even with their seemingly ignoring advancement, there is something to envy about the man or woman who can meet the hard knocks which come daily with religious forfeitures. The hope and peace which transcends events is that righteous joy is in the singing of such as "God shall wipe away all tears, and all sorrow, in this still imperfect world." Elsie Singmaster Writes A. Story Collier's Weekly which has always been strikingly bold in selecting facts and fiction dealing with the race question, publishes in the car-room of racial contact by Miss Elise Singmaster in which she, like most white delinquers of Negro life takes up the cudgel of her first impression when you read this story, "Elife," and her music master of French and Negroid extraction that there is in the scenes of American life. The Afro-American—South's Biggest and Best Weekly ness the author fills the heart and soul of this same genteel Dore, with wormwood and gaud, as he sits down line in the homes of one of the elves. The intent of Miss Singmaster, cannot be misunderstood when she makes "Elfe," whose mother is a third-grade girl, a cold black and a reversion to type, but with a voice which puts her soul into spiritual songs. Her teacher from Philadelphia, Dore, is described as a mulatto of French lineage, genteel, handsome and intelligent, asked to perform for the weary Boyden, white, whose mistress has incidentally heard Elfe singling in the streets. You cannot help feeling the truth, however, in her picture of the wide chasm within the race which divides them further apart than are the two races themselves. Do you recognize the charge to keep from entering the Boyden Mansion in company with the more homely and darker member of his race whom he teaches but shuns as a monster? Abundantly Miss Singmaster knows, some colored folk. But her clergy comes in having the boydens prepare a supper for two, which they endeavors to make the home and of the eneivable lash of insult flung into his teeth when he is left alone to eat a tasty prepared dish. The boydens come to the house and bleeding by the disappointment. The thing rarely happens in real life, of course, but the author knows her readers, and the question what would happen if the currencies involving romance, accomplishment and love, and out of which she obtained human beings in the race, were tackled by our authors. This Week By Ernest Rice McKinney (Preston News Service) Some of the preachers tell us every little while that the world is growing wiser, weaker and more dead. They tell us that women bob their hair, powder their knees, run for office and for other women's husbands, smoke cigarettes and addore vin virage while the man pays part of their house while the "Mr." is out chasing the dollar or his stenographer. Children are sassy and their parents spare the rod. They say that the parents work out. But now the children put the parents to bed and then the children go out. Young men are lazy and young women are corrupt, officials are venal and war is always in the offing. Satan walks the earth in seven league boots and God waits his time. We are all stepped in and sin we be unto us Some such picture as this is continually dangled in front of us as we gawn and blink, rub our eyes and wish that the good brother would finish so that we can get to the golf links or to the garage for a split with the family in the country. Those of us who have no ears are anxious to get home to dinner, the afternoon nap or the ball game. And, of course, some of us are so blamed "cussed" that we sit there and sleep with our eyes wide open. We are so soaked in infirmity that this Sunday morning broiling has absolutely no effect on us. We care naughty for the flaming tongues of hell, nor for the golden streets and the pearl studded zithers of the New Jerusalem. What most of us want is more money and less work, fewer half-baked preachers and more real business men, more homes actually built and fewer holes in the ground where a church might be some day, more office buildings and fewer lodge parades, more factories and not so many "grand rallies," chitterling suppers, pastor's old societies, anniversaries, offerings and all the rest of the bunk that keeps us merely marking time. We get ready for Heaven white other races prepare to pay dividends. While we moan and amen, and parade, other races search the world for new markets, raw material and cheaper merchandise. The white—whom we are pleased to call "lucky"—goes to church or to judge or anywhere else but he keeps his eyes on the money. He never forgets that the meek do NOT inherit the earth.

PROFESSOR FUDGE AMOS HOKUM SAYS In a few days time the Elks will be in session in Richmond, Va. There will be present there, more Elks and there will be present. For a few days the order will be figuratively running wild. There will be little Elks and big Elks, fat Elks, and more Elks present. Of course it is useless to say, Elk milk, even though it be of the Virginia varleety, will flow freely. If it have been, it will be flooded and the State of Virginia, is making preparations for the great event. There will likely be more Elks present, more Elks present, more Elks present. Of course, there have been conventions before, but there have been none in the past that can compete what will be pulled down in Richmond, on the twenty-fifth of August. Election Contest Added Attraction Then there will be an added attraction. One of the hottest fights ever pulled for the Grand Exalted Ruler will be the grandest. The ruler ent grand Exalted Ruler is grandl Wilson of Washington. Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson has been warming the chair for some time. The ruler is it time for him to back out. Other Elks think he ought to stay there as long as he carries on the good work. While Finley has a seeming great mobility for his continuance in office, precedent seems not to favor him, for in the past, Exalted Rulers have not served so many terms. Therefore, many men in the ruler'sUmber him, with others want to keep him because of his good work. Put Elk Lodges Everywhere His good work consists of this: He has put an Lodge's Lodge almost in every community of any size in the country. Old Finley's sojourn and as far as can be seen, he has strutted his stuff. He has improved the order in every response, and has shaken almost any hands as President Coulidge. Now it looks like the Elks will out-distance every order in the country, and whenever things get big he wants to be cut in on the big works. The idea is, there is really something to fight over at present. Wilson Likely To Win Out The consensus of opinion is that the Washington Editor, running on a platform of past performances, will win by many lengths. At any rate, I promise things will be of interest in Richmond in the future. If nothing interferes with my budget, I hope to "smoke" the situation over and relay the news back to you. I am guilty of wailing and electioneering on the program for the dog. At present it looks as if Monumental Lodge number three is for Edition II, or wrong. I look inasks to be right, which I believe he is. Little Known About Voting So far as a great many of the delegates to the convention argued against the convention except in cases of lodges and churches.

Bellows it or not, last week, we spent a "delightful" six-hour period riding a Jim Crow car, just behind the engine of a Dixieland Special. We traversed the Mississippi border, through a bit of incense from the time the conductor said: "What you gain, boy?" to the time we alighted at Princeton, Ky., and found the colorful streetcar to purchase Pullman seats because a porter told us the conductor told him that the company had ordered that no such accommodations should be made. Furthermore, we, colored woman, who had recently escaped on a Pullman from Chicago, had been handled very roughly just a few weeks prior to our Anyhow, on boarding the Dixieland Special, we were cautiously guided to the engine end of the Jim Carpenter we were in, but less we come in contact with the white folks. This particular coach was a "mixed" smoker. That is to say, men and women, and children—but it was a smoker right on. The non-smoker car was for whites only. The conductor ambiguously audited his son of the Captain, the uniformed colored porter seemed to be performing a myriad of duties. He was first assistant to the "Captain" as well as the brakekeeper, and he was a engineer at a signal at the conductor's bidding. He kept the Jim Crow coach clean; and when the white coach behind developed a hot box, he was present who was versed in packing boxes and greasing the cups. For these duties, I learned he received the princely sum of fifty-five bucks. So far as we could see, the colored passengers matched the whites in intelligence, conduct and general appearance. Now and then, the Crow coach, in greater numbers than the whites. Occasionally, a white, passenger would enter the coach, and upon seeing its contents, would hasten to the Crow coach, which was genuinely depressing, but not without some inspiration; for just before we crossed the river into Ohio, a brother boiled up and said, "This is what this Crow Crew business is going to last much longer. The people are getting tired of it, and the companies don't like it. I wouldn't be surprised if some day they would be forced to work much longer. And we breathed a sigh of relief as we changed trains to just a plain, ordinary B. & O. day coach, mixed and without such looks of suspicion, and observed on board the Dinkelland Special. "Now you can go to gras," said the farmer as he led his horse into the pasture. Every man who plunges into an ice-cold bath in the morning, and lives, is sure to brag about it all day.

The Negro appointee would insure simple justice to applicant for appointment to clerical positions under the government. To this no upright and honest American can object. From the standpoint of policy, President Coolidge could not make a more happy stroke. Not to do so is poor politics which is the greatest sin which any administration can commit in the eyes of the practical politician. Three is a vacancy on the Civil Service Commission. The position was vacated by the death of an enlisted world war II veteran, for a number of years. The political leaders among the coforest folk are putting in hard work, placing them in the race. I am not mistaken, this position was included in Mr. Matthew-scentevene points and stands, and statues like suggestions. Instead of condemning Mr. Mathews for his tenetry, he should be commissioned. The proposals were indeed more concrete in satisfaction of the demands of ten million American citizens who are loyal and part of the war. The Negro politician is blue bound by tradition and precedent. A federal position he held for a long time is best described by a member of the colored group. there is no earlly reason why a colored man should be elected to a federal position. The district of Columbia o. Register of Treasury, except that on previous occasions these positions have been filled by colored men. These places have not the least racial significance or importance. It is true, however, that the white race is disproportionately more likely to never advantage he has managed to gain possession of. A white man does not relish the idea of succeeding a Negro. Whenever a member of the once once white church, or a school, the white race is prone to concede it to the race as an eternal possession. It is this negroism that aggravates the segregation situation when a colored resident once lodges in a house, not only that residency be granted as Negro territory, it becomes much easier for the administration to follow precedent in making race appointments than it is to allow a resident to be granted as Negro territory. It does not deem it feasible to appoint a Negro to the customary position of Regis, the Treasury, or Minister in Mayf. If the race therefore, is to be shut out from former positions or positions far in office holding is concerned, one door shut by reason of administrative policy than the Negro must otherwise all of the doors of the house will be shortly closed in his face. The Negro was first appointed Register of the Treasury without reference to racial reasons. Some reports indicated that he was appointed in 1881. Some place of importance must be made for him according to the political policy of that day. The political policy of the time was that the expiring senator was offered an assistant secretaryship, but declined, as it then seemed unobjectionable to senatorial dignity to fail in his duties. He then proffered the ministership to Braith, but refused as he did no wish to lose relation with home political conditions. His leadership of an important government bureau was accepted as a satisfactory placement. The incident established a precedent. This position was held by Negro Governor A. A. Morgan, a republican administrator from afield to carding. President Wilson respected the precedent, and attempted to follow it, but was blocked by the political weakness of his southern partisans. Since then the Republicans have adopted the Democratic method. The Registries has been taken out of compliance with that his own party has taken from him that which he had, and has made no compensatory substitute. Prefer Civil-Service Commission From a purely racial point of view, the appointment of a Negro to the Registries be much preferable to the Registries of the Treasury. The places are on a parallel in dignity and pay. The Negro appointee on the Registries must simple justice to applicants for appointment to clerical positions under the government. Do not mean, say that one Negro has the right miracles and dominate his colleagues in any given direction. But the more face of a Negro on the board would of itself guarantee a square deal to the Negro. American can object. At present, this is not the case. The Negro applicant after fulfilling all of the requirements of tested fitness, is illustrated by suffrages based upon color and color. This is a national scandal, compared with which the Tea Pot Dome incident, which caused such a wide public outrage, has significant significance. The national conscience is 'dull to this scandal' because the Negro has so far failed to quicken the national conscience of the country. The appointment of a Negro as Civil Service Commissioner would not do injustice to a single American citizen, but rather his claim to appointment under the law. On the other hand, it would go far towards relieving the national government of the moral stigmatization cheating of their earned places under the government: From a standpoint of policy Premise Coordinator, we are happy stroke.

Not to do so is poor poli- lin which any administration is practical politician. member the heroic support, when this administration gave to Walter Cohen with due gratitude and ap- reciation.

The Negro is only amply pleased. A few important appointments will easily attract the bulk of the attention the church administration, which will make them. The game is so easy that we wonder why any shredd politician would want to play. If Mr. Coolidge will accept four or five of Mr. Matthew's seventeen points, he would thereby secure the top spot in the Negro adductors, onX to do so is poor politics, which is the greatest sin that any administration can impose on the eyes of the practical politician. Commission Directly Under President There is not the same objection to the appointment of a Negro as to the appointment of a white man; it might be brought against a member of the race as Register of the Treasury. It can be reasonably alleged that the Negro is not a part of the hands of the minister, the minister, and that it will be hard to find a member of the race who has had cause him to function effectively in the fiscal scheme of the nation. The Treasury department must be in the hands of a high class financier who has not been unburdened by considerations of race or religion. The President must merely respect his wishes in filling the positions of those objections apply to the Civil Service Commission. This Commission comes directly from the other intervening agency. The Negro race has a number of men and women as well qualified by education as any white applicants who are likely to be available. It is to be hoped that the colored men and women once upon a single candidate whose qualifications are unquestions. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell Is Proposed I beg to propose the name of Mrs. Mary Church Terrell for apposition. She meets the requirements from every angle of approach. She is an Oberlin graduate of high school and indeed, she was offered the position of co-registrar by her alma mater. She has had wide experience as a school teacher, traveller and lecturer, both in the Atlantic winters. She has dignity, grace and natural refinement, and would grieve the position as becoming a woman that can be appointed to it. Mrs. Terrell is a Republican, dye in the thread and woven in wool. Her background is a woman that will not let her go. She is as regular as Link Johnson. Mrs. Johnson is natural born regular. Mrs. Terrell is all reminders to deviate. Mrs. Terrell is a race woman to the core. She could not help admire Senator Foraker for the brave service she gave to soldiers. But when Foraker split with Reesevelt and Taft, Mrs. Terrell was called upon as a Foraker mass meeting. She took refuge in hoursseek. The educator sacrifice could she make for party regularity than to lose her charming voice in its behalf. She is as keenly conscious as the rest of the failures and imperfections she has served but she serves it nevertheless with an unswerving loyalty. Women In Politics Women are now in politics on equal terms as men. There are more colored women than men in the United States. On the whole, they are more politically active. The appointment of a consipuous colored woman to a consipuous position would be a very signal way grip the emancipation of this vast form of oppression. Mrs. Terrell was the founder and first president of the National Federation of Colored Women's Association. As a special mark of honor she was the first president for life. The womanhood of the race would feel honoured through the elevation of one or their own number whom they delight to honor. The race as a white could not do a more significant and statisticlike thing than to unite with one voice upon the selection of this distinguished daughter of the race for the appointment of Civil Service Commissioners.

She will be glad to answer in the column, all questions of a reasonable length. Miss Ada—Your coarse skin and large pores may be traced to your own neglect more than any other cause. Give your face a little more attention and you will find a great improvement. First secure a good skin food or cream (we are sending you the name of a cream which we highly recommend by return mail), and message the face thoroughly. This must be done daily for the skin of the face is like anything else which requires constant attention, and when the necessary care is discontinued, you drift back to your former condition. For closing the pores, a good stirring must be used. Ice is the best astringent we know. To get the best results, place a cake of ice in a cloth, and after dropping a few drops of witch hazel on the cloth, apply to the face. This treatment makes the skin and muscles of the face firm and tight, and closes the unsightly pores as well as increases the blood circulation and adds glow to the cheeks. Miss Edna H.—Your question is not an uncommon one. Many of your younger, ladies, with a hair cut, wear a wig with it lighten, and a our young men and women delight in making their complexions a shade or two lighter. Beauty experts rather hesitate to test your hair, but if you do not follow instructions to the detail, damage is likely to result. When the hair is almost the desired shade, you may ask for the daylight with a line comb. The ammonia will add the reddish tint that you desire. You tell me that your hair is straight and if you are absolutely truthful, your hair will remain beautiful; but if the hair is inclined to be at all knikk, well, it just will be too bad. Miss X.—Your question is not in these columns. If you will send a stamped envelope, I will tell you what I think the milment appears to be. However, if you do not get in touch with me, I will consult a skin specialist at once. Miss Maryhole--Thanks for the photograph. Yes, you are a pretty woman.

Build With Food and Sunshine I am in a health, appetizer, but I am thin. What can I do to build flesh? You may eat vegetables, both creamed and buttered—and not just potatoes—you may eat milk, lettuce, eggs, cereals with cream, whole wheat and fruit butters. You may eat custards, both boiled and baked. You should drink milk, plain or with milk, once or twice when your meals. Eat creamed Then you should spend considerable time out of doors in the sunshine, exercising if you need it; or just lying quietly. Perhaps you are burning too much fuel in nervous energy. Can Not Lose Pa Murphy Sometimes a husband is mighty hard to get rid of, as has been discovered by Mrs. Murphy, of Brooklyn. She has sued her husband for divorce 32 times and lost out every time. They have been married 25 years. The greatest novel of the year "Veiled Aristocrats" By Gertrude Sanborn DECIDEDLY ORIGINAL FULL OF VIVID CHARACTERS APPEALING TO THE NOBLEST QUALITY OF HEART AND SOUL. Her book is a strongly put protest against the color prejudice and the unfairness with which Americans treat the Negro section of our population. The author's treatment of the subject is original; some will say that it is overdone, but she has nevertheless made a compelling story.—The Boston Globe, January 5, 1924. The story moves at the pace demanded by interest and throws light upon many phases of the Negro character. It challenges controversy and seems destined to be the center of a lively discussion.—The Milwaukee Journal, December 28, 1923. We think that the book is significant in that it emphasizes the art side of Negro life which is not generally used and throughout the book the author gives facts regarding Negro life which are not generally known.—The Christian Recorder, January 12, 1924. Associated Publishers 1538 Ninth St., N. W. Washington, D. C. Baltimore, Mid. A "If I am to be admitted into the high court of your presence, you will not find it necessary to ask for news of McClellan. My whole life is built in the life of my life," he said. "We are to go the spirit of me dark brother goes in a drab and terrible world when he came to open the doors. Loving McClellan, I love his people. With the Future of America, by H. G. Wells? Perhaps you remember that he says: 'Whatever America has to show in heroic living. I doubt if she can show anything finer than the quality of the resolution of the state. I am kind to him, and coloured others and theிரates have been making today to live blamelessly, honorably, and patiently getting for themselves what scraps of refinement, learning and beauty they may, keeping their build on a civilist line they are grudged and denied. I can't help identifying this dark submissive figure in the spectacle of America." "McClellan is not that figure to you. You love him not only for his virtues, but for the future of America." The next time I see her." "When will that be, I do?" "She said—Come Monday evening. If you care to! This is only Thursday, I'm a significant number laughed. Rod thought of Natalie constantly during the day he hurried about to various short jobs he was sent to by his employer. At night he went to Fannon at the University of Washington, the school was exchanging exercises. He dashed over to McClellan's studio whenever a leisure moment permitted. McClellan was intensely interested in Natalie. He asked Rod many questions. He was surprised and so much. I know that she had expressed a wish to talk with him. I have every reason to hope you may see Miss Cartwright in her own home, Carr. "I will be an interesting experience of the invites me to her home." "Man, you'll be lavied, and not because your family owns the Colossal Building and you tote a gold cane, not because you stir ten in the best hotel in town every day."

It is so with love. It warms and envelopes—one expands through its power. If it goes out, night comes on." Night—the spirit often knows night. Mine has known it. I am often very lonely. I seem to know that I am not alone. They are so hard—so cold—they think so sad of beauty—they say—they are a smashing girl at a department store—come and play bridges at the pool. They follow the private stock—the heat is positively distressing—the cold amnesia. I shall run south—how utterly charming, how sweet, how my dream, where did you secure so darky a bitter—don't inhend to that woman over near the doorway—she looking in your direction—she is deafly lovely. I only want beauty and quiet people who think and dream." You shall have them." You shall understand into each other's eyes. Late in the afternoon, the patch of wall finished, Rod left the Cartwright residence by the areaway. His was not a stylish exit, nor a pompous one, but a simple, simple, simple homeward through the shadows, circumspectly jiggling a ducky pail that had run dry of turpentine. That's the way he looked to the policeman, some fine night, hot. Hurry along and take your 'skirt' up to the park to see the moon shine." The policeman could not see that Rod was really a column of fire; fire, fire, fire. The long darkening streets; he could not see that Rod's soul glowed with the colors of a many-faced gem. Natale—Natalie—he sang and the thought of the overpowering luxurious obsequious servants, limousines and expensively nurtured Dog cows could not drown the song. In Rod's mind Natale's image stood clear of obstructions: clear of padded sophistication; clear of a lamp that gleamed and beckoned. Rod swung along wrapped in a mist of dreams. Shut away behind thick webs of softness across Natalie's web so that she ran to a window and, pushing its drapery aside, leaned out to scan the quiet street. There he was, the curb and the street behind him from the curb—so light—grateful so full of mysterious charm that was half expressed and half intangible. A painter of houses, indeed! Rather a mentor of forgotten lore; a high priest of witchcraft; a weaver of delicate visions. Natalie stood in the window a long time. When she turned away the curb she stood still and long since enveloped Rod. Natalie flung her arms above her curly head: "ou l'ouvant cru! It has been my most interesting afternoon in America!" CHAPTER VI. Sunlight streamed through ruffled curtains to seater its quiet pleasures among daly blue dishes, ripe crab and crystal bowl, flowers and singing birds. Rod and Amber lingered in the Blair breakfast room to talk over the adventure Rod had and behind the solvent Lake Shore Drive. "You'd love Miss Cartwright. Amelia's genuine and fair-minded. She's full of wonderfully deep and serious, too." "I hope it will be possible for me to know her." "I hope it will be. She's been brought up in France, as I told you, and as far as I can judge from our short acquaintance she's entirely an American woman when it comes to her question." "A colored copier and his wife, friends of mine, are coming to Chicago for number of years. I will give a description for them and a musical program. You might invite Miss Cartwright to come down with you. I believe it would be an interesting experience for you." Thank you. I'll extend the invi- MME.

Rod thought of Natalie constantly. During the day he hurried about to his employer. At night he went to Ramon at the University and practiced intricate steps. He washes over to McChelin's studio whenever a leisure moment permitted. McChelin was intensely interested in Natalie as a student. He was surprised and pleased to know that she had expressed a wish to talk with him. "I have every reason to hope you will be Carwright in her own house, Carr." "It will be an interesting experience if she invites me to her home." "Man, you'll be invited, and not because your family owns the Colossal Building and you tote a gold canoe, not because you stir tea in the best hotel in town every afternoon; not because you roll around in a gold-handed roulster—you'll be invited because you have a compelling personality, and because you have brains! That's something!" "That's everything!" As the days passed Natalle, he'd, dwelt on the remembrance of their short pleasant adventure. She was sorry she had postponed his visit to Monday. It was a long way off. Friday—Saturday—Sunday, three terrible, interminable days when one's spirits were keyed high. She might so easily have said Sunday instead, Sunday was always a dreary day. It might be spent at the country club; at the home of any of a dose abrigently polished lids; it might be spent in reading about in the car, but motoring didn't agree with Chow, and to leave him at home proved equally as disसociating to his delicate temperament. The spending of Sunday presented many complications and small perplexities. A smart ring at the telephone at eleven o'clock Sunday morning, but settled Natalle's place. A smooth, deep voice asked for Miss Cartwright. It had a captivating upward trend that left one expectant of the met disbelief. Miss Cartwright. If you will have the goodness to remember me I shall feel highly fettered. I have already sent you a note, but my impatience to renew an acquaintance so delightfully hegumenical is not enough. It is Mr. Lane? Yes? I recall quite well your voice. I heard you in those chilly little sketches at Mistlewood College's studio. You are on the stage now. "No-at a loose and at present." "Sunday is a glorious day to call upon friends. 'You will come this afternoon--to tea?' was hoping you would ask us." "No, Mistlewood Lane interacts. He was a handsome person, well set up. Natalie told herself that he was 'squirish, tallish, grandish.' Lane never forgot his appearance nor allowed anyone else to do so. He asked the drama spoken. His slogan was: "Watch me - I'm going to be great!" among crowds of people and forming friendships to suck them dry as a boy would suck oranges and to then cast a shadow on them by seeing, as a provider housewife would see, of marmalade jars in the bedrooms and blossoms twigs in the seeds. Lane was both pathetic and indignant that was both pathetic and indignant.

She finally divorced him. Why Lara had divorced him? She entered his ambition in a way something to wonder about. The fact that he had followed in the wake of a little lady whom he hoped to marry, she showed great good treatment at the last moment by marrying a stout brother. Lane, at the time of her marriage, was crushing about unmarried. Lane believed in free love. He was a busy disciple of his doctor, having at the tender age of twelve attained dominance to whom he had forced expounded the theory that, only freedom makes for greatness, and I intend, dear lady, to be one of them. Someone told him that every artist had experienced at some point or another abject poverty. So last left most of his clothes at the club and he stayed around two weeks, only going back to the club for showers, honeysocks, to change his clothes, to see his friends and to get his malt.

Lewis Eras, a well-known retired minister, now past 80, living here has a high opinion of Black-Draught, which he says he has taken for years. I had been suffering with my liver, "ho says, 'Sometimes the pain would be very intense and my back would hurt all the time. Black-Draught was the first thing I found that would give me any relief. My liver has always been sluggish. Sometimes it gives me a lot of trouble. I have suffered a lot with it—pains in my side and back, and bad headache, caused from extreme billiousness. After I found Black-Draught I was able to as it so was. I felt a spell coming on and it relieved the cause at once. I can recommend it to anybody suffering from liver trouble. A dose or two now and then keeps me in good form. So from selected medicinal roots and herbs, and containing no dangerous mineral drugs, Black-Draught is nature's own remedy for a tired, lazy liver.

Alston, the very energetic pastor, with the good people of Jonesboro of all denominations extended the visitors a very heart and dial welcome. Throughout the session, the conference and the perfect harmony were performed and loyalty were manifested as never before. The session opened with the coming together of over 400 boys from all over the District, each boys' club trying to excel the other in every respects. The reports were of unusual interest. This conference succeeded in raising its quota for the Southwestern Christian Advocate, which was then benevolence and the most bilateral suppor¬ erability. The interest on the part of the people from one side of the District to the other towards the necessity of turning the attention of the church towards the saving of the young people was aroused as never before. The response on the part of the young people, has gone beyond our foremost expectation. Under the wise leadership of their Big Brother, Dr. D. H.

The facts presented in these articles show that the days of witchs, superstition and religious hysteria have not passed. It has not been thirty years. Since John Jasper preached his famous sermons that the "sun do move and the earth sun flare." While the writer does not know of any minister who is preaching that today to his congregation as Jasper did, he knows several miners who believe that the sun moves. And if anyone can turn a series of sermons on the movement of the sun and the flatness of the earth, he would find it difficult to secure a Children In So Like The KNOW MORE, PLAY Children In School Not Like They Used To Be KNOW MORE, PLAY MORE, TEACHERS Children in school today are not like they used to be. This is the view of Elmer Hendgen, practice teacher in School with a score of years of experience behind him. An AFRICOM teacher sent a find out if he is today in school are found to be any different from the children of twenty or thirty years ago. Mr. Henderson's teacher, the children today know moreadvance faster in school, play more, pick their own friends, have better trained teachers, but have lost some of the children in abroad children and in other days. He says: "Children are wiser today than former. Their power of discernment is greater and they early dislaugh between the true and the false, the sensitive and the sensitive, that the youth of today do not know. The children learn sophistication from their children and use it as they grow older but even this is growing less and "Science demands the Truth. The new methods of teaching insist that everything and everything be questioned and examined for the Truth. The Holy Bible is facing an on-sought, many "fundamental" objections to searching questions and claim that they are evidences of profanity. Others feel that the Bible and God can withstand any and all queries—for God is Truth. The fourth of today denounce Hypo-pity and call for consistency. When left to themselves they practice frankness and honesty. It is this frankness that appeals many. The openness is assaulted when it should be admired. Enter Hi School Farler "Children are entering his school at an earlier age now than several Years ago." The reasons are: The standard of scholarship is lower and thus pupils find it easier to accomplish work of each grade. The Standard for Promotion is lower and thus more pupils are promoted from grade to grade. Carelessness and too much len-lency are displayed by teachers in promoting children. Summer Schools help decrease the number of non-promotions and incentives for promotion. The Kindergarten has proven a valuable agency in preparing pupils for entrance upon the regular grade rock. Facilities are placed at the distance of the children of today which were years ago. These facilities increase "brain power" and enlarge the child's world.

Clip the whole series and a solution of the quarret between church large enough to accommodate his attendants. And hundreds would believe the story. Still Believes After the years of human progress and hundreds of years of public and private education, and hundreds of years of scientific research, man still believes in witchcraft, poisoning, scientific thinking, and adulteration, and regards them, as evidences of atheism. To be sure modern man does not burn the scientists, but he perceives them, surveys them and outracks them wherever learning is Opinion Of Leaders It is important in considering the question of science and religion to obtain the opinion of the leaders of the church and the leaders of science on the question. They to, a great extent, share their people on such questions. We can not expect a change of belief among the people until there is a change of belief among their leaders. With this in mind, and for their own purposes of this paper, and the public, the writer has sent letters of inquiry to several of the leading theologians and scientists in America, concerning the theory of religion, and the Tennessee law against the teaching of the theory of evolution. The writer propounded the following questions: Questions 1. Do you think there is a fundamental conflict between science and religion? 2. Do you find students (church members), who study science to be less religions than those who have not studied it? 3. Do you believe in the general principles of the theory of evolution. been tempted in Tennessee to prohibit the teaching of the theory of evolution? that am not, you think the progress of the church necessitates its opposition to science? Sixteen replies were received. In some cases the writer was referred to the writings of these men. Some did not reply, did not give their opinion regarding the questions because they preferred not to have any part in any controversy pertaining to science and religion.

Since there is no influence the children make on their education, the inefficiency of the graduates. Those who have skipped grades with few exceptions justify the c complains that "Junips enter the high school now with the following deficiencies:" Weakness in the fundamentals of Arithmetic and English. Little self-reliance. Intensity to handle situations out of the ordinary. High School teachers complain that they are unable to do High School Work. It is not guaranteed that the Junior High will even remedy these conditions. Lack Of Ambition “The zeal for learning is not as great now as before. Reasons are: The confused idea of “Learning.” The financial success of men whose schooling was medicare. The scarcity of good paying positions for men and women of superior learning. The hesitancy in putting aside the idea that brain power is inherited. Luxiness is on the increase; also satisfaction with a little learning. The lack of confidence in the “Learned,” brought about because of the numerous instances when the “Learned” take advantage of the “Unlearned,” the statistics showing the number of persons taking advantage of higher learning are very discouraging. Not Discouraged Mr. Henderson is not discouraged by the apparent lack of ambition in many school children today. The pendulum is swinging back the other way now, he says, and the time will come soon when children will have the old time eagerness to learn.

BUTLER Coolidge May Have To Re- pudiate Ku Klux To Pull His Friend Thru Boston, Mass.—The only candidate who declined to declare himself in the last campaign with respect to the Ku Klux Klan, like Banquos Ghost the issue will not down, and now, President Coolidge is confronted with the necessity of permitting his administration to give sanction to Klan repudiation on account of the probable defeat facing Senator Butler by ex-Senator Walsh in the 1926 elections. Certainly, no farmlined person suspects or ever suspected Mr. Coulledge of or warning of or sympathizing with his attack. He has defended his pre-occupation silence to the dictates of political exigency, which after all was ill-worthy for and unlawful for him, and has defended his powerful is political exigency, and like a two-sided sword, wrests both ways. The fact that ex-Senator Walsh has an international Committee Chairman Butler, present incumbent, to succeed the late Senator Lodge in the Senate election of next year, has been a point of contention through Walsh is a democratic, Massachusetts rock-ribbed, Republican, and no third candidate appears to weaken the Republican candidate, as happened with Walsh's defeat. W. Weeks. Balance of Power First, there is the Negro. His was the balance of power vote in 1922, when Henry Cabot Lodge only demanded the same relationship to the Senate fight of 1926. It is well known that the colored man never is disturbed by religious questions in matters of race. He is not disturbed by whether a candidate is a Catholic or a Knight of Pythias. The fellow who treated him well, when possessed of the opportunity—or makes him think so—has come to be his man. Senator Walsh always treated the colored man well—in a human sort of way. Somehow, Walsh has that rare knack of making service tarot cards, a pain, in stirring contrast to the cynicism of the late Senator Lodge. The snappy business like manner of Butler and the obvious, intentional secretary, Lundy, now boss of Butler's Senate office. Walsh is on the board of directors of Cardinal Gibbs institute, at Ridge, Md., and in many other ways a friend of the president at and for Howard University. Ku Klux From Massachusetts Republican point of view, the most formidable obstacle to the full Senate term for the Klan is the Klan Klan. More than any State Massachusetts resents the presence of the Klan with firearms and other offensive weapons and protests with bison, Massachusetts, home State of President and National chairman, a scalloped white beard, and repudiated the hooded order. The powerful Irish and Catholic elements are 1950 FACTO anti-Klan. Walsh has opposed the Klan openly, fervently, consistently against anti-Klanism have common cause; hence, his perhaps, more than even break to win next November, a year; therefore, administration concern; whereas Klan membership reduces to the extremity of organizing Irish Republican Clubs in Democratic Boston and other Democratic strongholds. And a democrat, Frames J. Hogan State senator, Collins County resident in that body, is the organizer. Butler To Tour Moreover, the program, as printed in the "Boston Globe" calls, for Chairman Butler's swing around the Democrats, for the purpose of destroying that party in the North and West on the ground of the offensiveness of the Southern branch (or root), particularly that root's alliance with the Klan. Northern Democrats are forced to smile at the announced intention of the Republican Chairman because the Republican majority frankly is pro Klan, while Massachusetts, rock-ribbed Republican community, has had more trouble with the state—and the Massachusetts Democrats are anti-Klan. Absolute Fairness It is not generally known that Walsh's absolute fairness while Governor and his four square stand against his actions, and an argument on his own religious persuasion. Such is a fact, and accounts for the coming attempts of the opposition to add to Walsh's position, why of the Irish Republican clubs. Up A Tree The Massachusetts senatorial situation frankly has the Administration "up tree" and it is readily adaptioned. The president President Coulodge will suffer thru his defeat of campaign manager and close political associate by ex-Senator Walsh. He will receive a substantial appointment to two responsible office is in the making for the Negro. Butler must not be defeated in Massachusetts, and his Senate Office secretary must become more of a good Meets Declaration Butter told a delegation of the Equal Rights League last week he heard of a group of civil departments, but did not believe much of it was going on.

HEARD AND SEEN IN BALTIMORE RALPH MATTHEWS Saturday we sat dreaming of the wonderful time we expected to have when we packed our lunch kit and jaunted off among the ballrushes to break the tranquility of the Sabbath day by picnic. One doctor said that if you read funny stories it will prolong life. This was proven false however, when one guy read one and laughed himself to death. We suddenly become aware of a foreign presence and looked around to see the editor looking over our candle holder and the candle holder writer. "Say 'he says, 'the world is entirely too incumultuous—write something gleeful." "What we need today," he added, is more chuckles, and less salty tears. By the way, the sports editor is suffering a severe attack of depression and has to work about six or eight hours overtime to-morrow. Write something real cheerful, he added as he went his merry. The most important thing about being happy is to keep away from unpleasant things. If you are unmarried, stay away from home as much as possible. A smile will go a long long way. A smile starts a flirtation, a flirting engagement, an engagement leads to marriage, and marriage is liable to lead you anywhere. A smile used to be an inexplicable little thing, but it is changed now—you smile at a pretty girl today and tomorrow you will see you for They used to have a saying about "laugh and grow fat" they had to do when they were old enough to reduce they wouldn't even grin. It's pretty tough on a jame when she has dicted six weeks to lose two pounds and then somebody tells a mother and make her laugh on twenty more. CATONSVILLE, MD.

MATHIS PART II Text for Today "The Sun Do The E John Jasper, The Unmatche Who Lived In Richmo War, And 40 CHAPTER XV. From the Story of John Jasper, by Wm. E. Hutcher I started out with my laddy's son to hear this Sunday afternoon sermon of Jasper's on the "Sun do Move" at quarter after one. It was only a fifteen minute walk, and the service was not due to start until three o'clock. Shades of the Paranoids and shadows of the Pyramids! As we headed towards the street of planetary constellations, the streets of river cities, the crenes of blacks, relieved here and there by companies of whites, thronged the sidewalks. Were Hannibals Carthaginian legions being turned on by the earthquake ripped open the foundations of Richmond, and were the people, caked with the soil, fleeing for life? It was more trawquil than that. It was however the town, upheaved and agitated, suicided uproar and supreme sensation of all his race—as I now began to realize he was before we got to the church we collapsed on. "No use of going" they said—"house already packed; streets full of men fighting and women dying; sort of Desperate Purpose. But these appalling things only urged me on. If there was to be a congestion or to be a catastrophe to me was my mission to attend. Besides, I had in me a desperate purpose to get into that house, and I promised the boy that we'd sink or swim together. I understood was perfected when I was in the last resort. The occasion had jumped the common road, and it was folly to falter now before any obstacle. I light through that mob has left me some marks to be noticed when I am dressed for my burial. My toes were trumpeted into jelly. At one time I was lifted by a crush, an abrasion, and another as a consequence. Several times I thought the landlady's boy was doomed to become an unrecognizable mangle. It began to sift into man, and nothing short of an entire situation and a public monace. My bestness was more and more to see him. Pustled Along The church when first seen, looked like a tall boat horse on the Conducts Ten Day Camp Meeting Mrs. M. C.

Now, right here, I had to drop my honesty and become a hypocrite. How I get into that world is hard (and hard). There is a muscular, ginger-bread fellow who stays in the office down town, and he broke all rules and I know not how many bones, and miraculous as it was, handed me and putted me up with boots in the boy's nose. Moved Br Song Now, excuse me from describing the music and praying, though I would like to mention that the song that the old man in the Amen corpse outcueing voice started, up and which it looked to me like all the people in the world were singing, rather jeeked me out of myself and took me off on its waves, and when I landed on the handkerchief in an unusual way. Jasper Prays Jasper made a prayer also, and, when he talked to the Lord about his own meanness and his ignorance, knocked out of me about half of my notion that he was a dribbling old egotist and numskillist. He took me back by several surprising things which he said to the Lord in a most serious way, and I have to own that by the time he said to me, "I am not a fool" (in his favor). Further, allow me to say right here, that I know positively, that I never saw so many people in a house of men, and I never saw the church that afternoon. Women sat in each other's laps, the pulpit was piled up, and all the spaces chinked, packed, and doubled up. I ought to add that the attention was oppressive. No whispering, no looking around; only silence, except when Jasper started them. He suddenly suddenly subdued sovereignty of the man. Jim Crow I saw that the white people had been favored in getting seats, and there were hordes of them. The legislators abounded, and there were preachers, lawyers, notable men, and strangers in Richmond, all haring together and very serious. It wasn't I confess, what I expected. I looked for a circus, and had hooked a funeral,—no, not a funeral; it wasn't delusional enough for that, but far more reasonable for that, and wokeful than a funeral can be.

Pastor FARMERS CONFER AT GIBBONS INSTITUTE FARMERS CONFER AT GIBBONS INSTITUTE thern Maryland MANY RAISE POULTRY BY CHANCE OR LURK Bs C. E. H. Daniel Hidge, Md.—One hundred and fifty active farmers of both sexes attended the first Farmers' Conference at Gibbons Institute, some coming from a distance of sixty miles. The meeting was led by Mr. Rice and Mr. Ballard from the University County Agent for St. Mary's county Greater Food Production in Southern Maryland was the topic under discussion, centering on Home Gardens, Poultry, emphasizing two important elements of life stock,粪便 hogs. Questions Asked The speaking was informal, but comprehensive, and was interpolated by many pertinent questions from the students. The questions were women, who exhibited very keen interest in all of the subjects under discussion. Mr. Gallard, speaking on "The Growing Fruits and Vegetables of asparagus" and the cultivation of asparagus, a much-needed crop, which was worrying of cultivation as a money-maker, as well as for its value in the kitchen garden. Mr. Daniel, Principal of the school, would agree to start an asparagus bed during the coming spring as an experiment, and promised that the institute would set aside an acre for such an experiment. Mr. Daniel would make a start. The proper raising of tomatoes for home use, for the early market and for the canneries was also discussed, and the high qualities of the tomato as a food rich source of vitamins to children were stressed. By Chance Mr. Rice gave most valuable and practical information on the proper care of poultry, bringing out the fact that too much poultry-raising pressure left to chance and to "luck." He emphasized the necessity for cleanliness, and for the moving of the poultry yard and thorough disinfecting of its buildings whenever disease of any kind is discovered among the poultry. The improper marketing of poultry, Mr. Rice said, is one of the chief causes of poor stock, easily susceptible to disease, the tendency being greater in poultry from which the poultry of the following season are produced Turkeys Regulated Mr. Rice also stressed the fact that while hens were generally given special mash during the laying season, turkeys were as a rule, neglected and that a laying mash given to turkeys in the early spring would inevitably produce early birds, these birds having an easier season for early development, and a longer season for growth for the fall and winter markets than turkeys hatched later in the season. The use of the incubator for turkey eggs was advised wherever possible, to increase production. The control of the range of turkeys by regular habits of feeding was advised. In speaking of "the care of pigs," Mr. Wathen, the County Agent, urged that the principle which applied to the improvement of livestock of any special crop, he applied to every activity undertaken, saying that the only kind of products that would create a market and bring prosperity were those of first quality, whether tobacco, hogs or tomatoes. St. Mary's County soil, Mr. Wathen said, would produce as good crops as any part of any state, if properly cultivated and wanted, and the live stock raising was a valuable asset to the farmer, as a means of improving his soil. Transportation Mr. Lawrence Williams, the treasurer of the Institute, and a member of the legislature from Southern Maryland, brought out the same meeting this morning of a market, and the overcoming of transportation difficulties.

Williamson. Text: "WHO HATH BEEN MADE, NOT AFTER THE LAW OF A CARNAL COMMANDMENT, BUT AFTER THE POWER OF AN END. LESS LIFE."—Hebrews 7: 16. THE POWER OF AN ENDLESS LIFE The evidence accepted in a court by witnesses when taken as such is the convicting or releasing power when taken as the evidence of truth. The court of the World's Universal Hope is setting out to examine the resurrection of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. What is the proof of the case which is the most important the world history? Let the witness tell us that the endlessness that the hearts of the people may rest secure in the hope of immortality. The first witnesses to testify in the world's court were the endlessness of the tomb of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. They were to tell the disciples from stealing the dead body their Lord and Master. The tomb was sealed by the Pharisees themselves. Matthew tells of the earth-quake, the descent of the angels and the rolling away of the tomb of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, now the guards told the truth the rolling away of the stone. No doubt they looked into the tomb before leaving and saw that it was empty. The enemies of Jesus accepted the evidence by the guards and offered to bribe them to conceal the resurrection. FIFTH WITNESSES—The two disciples on the road to Emmaus Jesus was seen by the apostles several times. According to 1901, Christ appeared to the resurrection, seeing Christ on the road to Damascus. SINTH WITNESS—Christ, the greatest of all. He foretold his death and life. The court could have accepted these proofs of the power of an endless life through the resurrection of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, and may we live to live again as Jesus on our we pray. This Kingdom come, the King of us, is it in us to believe. All this we ask in the Name that is above all other names, Amen. Easton Dist. S. S.

Saturday, August 22 SCOTLAND YARD DETECTIVES ON ROGERS TRAIL (Continued from Page 1) color question when to my great astonishment I was informed by Mr. Johnstone of the team of Layton and Johnstone, that Scotland Yard had been looking for me for some time and had been accusing Whaley of being me. "Accordingly I went to Scotland Yard where I was questioned by Inspector William Brust. He received me very courteously and told me that he was only carrying out instructions, which were to the effect that I had doubtful associations in New York City. I waited, while he consulted a large sheaf of documents for him to name these questionable parties expecting the names of any of the dozen or so Nero Communicis I know in New York, or perhaps Marcus Garvey when to my great astonishment named Dr. Dulcis. He informed me, as I said, "in dangerous man," as I said, "was news to me for not only had I hitherto not regarded Dulcis as dangerous to white world domination, but the fact, is that although I lived not so much, blocks away from personal acquaintances, the rightest possible personal acquaintance. I am further associated with the Messenger which issues most of Dulcis's policies. "I was also questioned as to the means of my income, the inspector informing me that Moscow was causing a lot of trouble among the colored races and the too glad set hold of a man of my institution. I told him that the money I was travelling on was the result of my hard earned savings. After asking me to leave a copy him to read, he refused to register with the police, and told me that I wouldn't be troubled any further." "In spite of the courtesy and this assurance, I felt a bit uncomfortable at first. I thought I would think I was being followed everywhere by sleuths, still all in all it was great fun. Trailed To Plymouth According to Rogers he was trailed from New York to Plymouth by a detective who continued on the S.S. George Washington to the Allied Secret Service, who, he says, was with him the second out and brought up the subject of Communism several days later. "Something told me that this man was a deterent," says Rogers, particularly over the questions that had put to me in New York City. I have been around the police and the courts too long not to know a dick when I see one, so I filled him a full of hull. He finally brought up the subject of Communism one evening as we paced the deck and declared that it was the only cure for the filth of the world I was. I was and gave him full dose of the Communist charter, not let him take all, that long trip for nothing. And the amusing part of it was that he was on board that I was a Secret Service man. Yes, Europe, like the South man, got over the war yet. FOR SALE Gordon Job Press 8 x 12 Will sell cheap to quick buyer AFRO-AMERICAN CO. 628 N.

MANIAC KILLS TWO WITH BARE HANDS MANIAC KILLS TWO WITH BARE HANDS (Preston News Service) Charleston, Miss., Aug. 21—Jacob McMullen, 65 years old, farmer, was killed near here and Mrs. Marie Long, 65 years old, mother of the victim, is dying of injuries received when they were crushed and flung to the floor Tuesday afternoon by a man, crazed over religion. Towns, whose home is near the McMullen place, had been acting strangely for several weeks. Tuesday morning he began heating his wife, Mattie Towns, Robert Simmons, and John Collins, heard her screams and came to her assistance. Towns then dashed away from his cabin and made straight for the McMullen home. Seizing Mr. McMullen around the waist, Towns lifted him high in the air and then dashed him to the wooded area his brother, Long, besieged him, his brother, struggling from her, chair when the crushed man seized and dashed her to the floor, crashing in her skull. Simmons and Hollis, who had been pursuing Towns, arrived. Nelher armed. They threw themselves upon the murderer, but his strength was more than a match for the enemy. At this moment, I. M. McMullen aged brother of the murderer had come into the house, seized a shotgun and fired it into the face of the crazed man. Neighbors say the murderer had been on a peaceful man. Several weeks ago he became demented over religion, and could talk of nothing else. Plan Medical Convention Chicago, IL.

One of the most substantial business groups in this city is the insurance group. There is a larger percentage of highly trained business men in the insurance field than in any other group. When they are organized and can group their interests for better and bigger business for the race, the educational effect will be highly beneficial. Baltimore is essentially a "one man business city," so far as our business is concerned. There are few businesses here that could survive when the men who founded them passes away. This is due to the fact that they do not cooperate to a large extent. But the greatest need for cooperative efforts in business and the widest spirit of organization, is to teach the coming generations that pooling of interests is profitable. The fact is Negro business will never be able to compete with other business until we learn, like them, to cooperate, merge, and form group concerns safely. This is the kind of business that will make the future. ORGANIZER FLAYS FEDERATION HEAD Lovett Fort Whiteman Replies To Pres. Green of American Federation of Labor CALLS ATTENTION TO PREJUDICE IN SOUTH High American Labor Officials in Open Fight Against Negro Progress Chicago. Calling attention to the shameful connivance of high labor officials in the prescription of colored labor in the South and the existence of the country, Lovett Fort Whiteman, Organizer for the American Negro Labor Congress, scores William Green, white, President of the American Federation Of Labor for his present great or the previous Chicago Meeting. In an article in the Daily Yorker Mr. Fort Whitman has the following to say: The statement of Mr. William Green president of the American Green Labor, condemning the American Negro Labor Congress, is a startling and eloquent proof of one of the biggest reasons why it is necessary to hold the American Negro Labor Congress. This attitude on the trade industry does not think it is not necessary for the Negro workers to oppose the terrible persecution under which they suffer, shows exact why it is necessary for Negro workers to come together to demand their full and equal rights in the trade union. It is to be in spite of the posi- tion of the president of the A. F. of L—as it is perfectly clear it will be —then it is necessary for the Negro workers to gird up their fight all the harder—and to fight all the harder—in his own ground in the trade unions. Only a person who has no interest in the Negro industrial, workers can say that they do not suffer under special persecution and discrimination, in the industries where workers are employed, where they are not permitted to work as well as in the trade unions where they belong on an equal basis with Dress Your Hair With PARISIAN GARDEN BOUQUET HAIR POMADE HOLLY MURPHY PARISIAN GARDEN BOUQUET HAIR POMADE FOR THE HAIR MENU PERFORED STRENGTHENED BY BARBARA HAIR BARBARA BARBER SERVICE CO., IN 208 NORTH GAY ST.

Suffice it to say that we have succeeded in making great strides forward in the south." A successful conclusion, on some nullords it has been agreed that there will be no more Negroes bleed, which mean usightfully the entire elimination from locomotive service of all Negroes and this applause in the southeast," (Aplause.) —Speech of D. B. Robertson, president of Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, at its thirtieth convention at Detroit, Mich. June 1, 1925. G. Grissin speaks of our alleged tendency to arouse "race hatred" among Negro workers against white workers, but not a word does he speak against the capitalists and their warts are arousing against us and which is one side of the terrible burden we have to bear. BENEZIA There is no need hatred in Negroes against whites. There is no race prejudice in American Negroes against whites, but only a resentment of race prejudice. The coming American Negro Labor Congress is executing a law driving race hatred from the ranks of the working people, where it is utilized by employers for the demoralization and defeat of the labor union and to attack the Negro worker is not "race hatred," but a prejudice against the organized labor movement, which prejudice is the sad result of the brutal cynicism and enmity which is linked among trade unions officiated as Mr. Green shows himself to be.

ODD FELLOWS START WORK ON A NEW $75,000 BUILDING Page Sixteen ODD FE ROWDIES STORM DWELLING AND BEAT UP OWNER Mob Of 500 Men And Women Cause Riot Call To Quell Segregation Fight ROHLEDER LETS CULPRITS OFF WITH LIGHT FINES Youth Who Police Say Hurled Brick Is Given $2.45 Fine By Magistrate Another outbreak in the occasional segregation disturbances which take place when colored families move for the first time into blocks occupied wholly by whites, took place here on Monday night, when 640 white rowdyies, men, men, women, stormed a house at 10 a.m. to a house at 10 a.m. to a house and mobbed the owner, Samuel Kreager, for renting it to colored tenants. A police riot call, responded to by fifteen officers, perhaps prevented a more serious outcome, when the mob surrounded Kreager, calling for his life blood, were dispersed. Mike Krager's attack The first attack of the mob was made about 7:30 Monday afternoon, shortly after the new tenants had moved a part of their belongings into the house. At this time a group of youths entered the house and threw the furniture out in the street. It was not until 11 a.m. that hundreds of others joined in the disturbance. When Kreager, who was assisting the family to get moved, arrived, he was pounced upon by men and women and so roughly handled that he was cut about the body and left the scene. Officers left to guard the place saw a number of youths approach the rear and hurt stones into the windows. They gave chase and captured Walter Roach, white, 9, 21 block Oliver Roach, white, 17, 1990 Holbrook street. Notwithstanding the fact that officers testified Tuesday morning that they saw beach and Ballard burl bricks into the windows, Magistrate Roeder gave them light lines of $5.00 and costs and $1.00 and costs, responder when they were brought up for trial. One Race Family Up until the family moved into the house Monday there had been only one colored family in the block, a resident which is said to have lived there long before the present residents came. The new tenant said he would have to provide him with knowledge of the fact that there was objection, moved on Tuesday morning under police protection. Although the tenants were driven out by force, some of the white residents in the block told officers that the trouble grew out of the desire to increase the tenants to move into the house by giving them several weeks free rent and paying cost of moving.

GOOD MORNING JUDGE The Afro Court Reporter If Captain Brown's good ship, "Favorite" gone down the bay on schedule time Thursday night Barney arrett. 505 N. Caroline street, would be a whole man instead of part of your annoyance gone and Lissie's part of 405 S. Dallas street, would not in the jail house. It happened this way: Miss Marie Bell, 1513 E. Fayette street, who Tillery claims as his regular and steady sweetheart, decided to work a little trick, whereby she could spend a nice little evening with Garret, her once in a life. We will go down the bay Thursday, where the promised Sweetie Tillery, and you just meet me on the boat. Don't wait, but just get on board and I will be somewhere there, and we can find each other after the boat starts." Tillery agreed, and was "Johnny on the spot" when boat starting time came. But, and behold, the boat did not come that night. Back in Miss Fell's home, there was joy and everything. Now, she surmised, with her regular out of the way of sure, she could spoon with Garrett in perfect bliss. Garrett was in on the deal and also felt sate as a Mexican quarter in the first room. She had back. Some one knocks on the door. With the usual freedom the knocker opens the door, and there in the dim light of a perfectly arranged room, he sees his sweeteet in the arms of his friend, Garrett. "Man, I thought you were down the bay," exclaimed Garrett. Well, to make a long story short, Garrett did not have to pinch himself to find out it was well past musty and then did him to proper realization that it was all very read. Friday morning before His Honor, with the heat of anger still registering high, Tillery explained that he had been told that dbf him elkry trick like that. "Yes, Judge," he said, "nobody can do that and get away with it." He added, "the thing and get away with it," answered His Honor, "393 and costs." Until Thursday night, Miss Eva Daniels, 1235 Orleans street, and Miss Irene Harvey, 1615 Mullin street were the best of friends. Now Irene is walking around all patched up with several stitches, and Eva is spending days at the expense of the city. Miss Eva frankly admitted in the Northeastern Friday morning that she and Irene always had been in wrecks. Irene had been coming to her house more than usual. The strange thing about it was she wound invariably pick those times when Eva's husband was at home. Irene made one of her calls Thursday while Eva was engaged in preparing the supper in the kitchen. Hearing things unnusually quiet in the dining room, Miss Eva looked in to see what was going on. What she saw was enough to cause her to throw herself on the wind, and a pair of knife and start to work on her culter. the husband who was the cause of all the trouble, thought it best to leave until things had cooled off. This cooling off was done in the Northernestern where the inexperienced spent the night in separate cells. "Your Honor," said Eva, "it had enough for a woman to take your husband on the outside, but when she compes in your home, she little too much." Well, said the Judge, just because she cut you out doesn't give you a right to cut her up, so I am going to fine you $25 and costs. Devon Thornton, 1209 Myrtle avenue, was inhaled in the Northwestern police station on a charge of non-support of his wife and two minor children. Mrs. Bessie Thornton was the direct cause of the halling. Don't Blame Captain Brown For This Miss Irene Was Too Friendly Mrs. Thornton, Good Prosecutor do you live with?" Thornton: "Why I live with my wife, Your Honor." Mrs. Thornton: "That's just the trouble, judge, he lives with me alright, but when he has any money, he carries it to some other woman." Judge: "What kind of work do you do?" Thornton: "Judge, I am a chef cook, and work where there is always plenty of good food." Mrs. Thornton: "He works where there is plenty, Your Honor, but he figures he can eat enough for the rest of the family, cause he pure don't bring any home." Judge: "It is true that you are taking care of some other woman?" Thornton: "No sir, my wife has never seen me with any other woman." Mrs. Thornton: "I might not have seen you, but I brought along some one who has. Here's the man-you took her away from." Judge: Thornton, your wife has been such a good prosecutor, I am going to find you guilty, and hold you for court. Fined for Disorderly Conduct or Disturbing the Peace: Samuel Quilly, 221 E.
