IS MUM ON NEW POST INHAITI Won't Comment On Alleged Unacceptability Of Race Minister SENATOR LENROOT (R.) WIS. SHOWED INTEREST Post Has Been Vacant Since Death Of Envoy Several Weeks Ago Washington, D. C., (Afro Bureau)—The State Department Tuesday declined to comment on the report that a colored man wuold not be acceptable to the Haitian Government as minister from the United states. The question of appointing a minister to Haiti has not arisen for some time, nor will it have to be decided upon as-long as the high commissioner remains there; it was said as the State Department, and of this fact the question of appointing a colored man as minister to Haiti has never arisen. "For this reason," an official said. "the Department must decline to comment on a question which has not yet come up for discussion and which is primarily of academic interest." Notwithstanding this statement from the State Department, it was repeated in Senatorial circles that the Haitian Government had advised this government that a colored man would not be acceptable as minister from the United States. Senator Irvin L. Leenroot, of Wisconsin, has been interested in the appointment of a colored man as minister to Haiti. He had a representative to take up the question of the acceptability of a colored man as minister to Haiti with the State Department and it was reported at the time that a colored man of character and standing would be acceptable. Since then, however, Senator Leenroot is reported to have been advised that no colored person would be acceptable on the ground of col- In the meantime, the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations has under consideration two resolutions introduced by Senator William H. King, Democratic Senator, and State Secretary of State Kellogg to advise the Senate as to what powers and functions Brigadier General John M. Russell is exercising in Haiti as the American High Commissioner, and the other expresses it in the Senate. The President should withdraw the marches now. In Haiti. The State Department is of the opinion that conditions in Haiti have not reached such a degree that they would permit this time. It does not deem the appointment of a minister to Haiti necessary so long as the American occupation continues and a high compartmentalizing the function of a minister. The names of Charles E. Mitchell of Institute, W. Va. and Ennett J. Scott have been confirmed with the ministership to Haiti since the death of Arthur Bally Blanchard, the last American envoy to Haiti.

Alleged Ku Klux Attack On Hampton Reminder Of Demonstration At Tuskegee Acts Of Violence Against Either School Would Arouse The Nation Like the Firing of the Confederates Upon Fort Sumpter The situation-at Hampton Institute, Hampton, Va., where the Anglo-Saxon Clubs, aided, it is said, by the Ku Klux Klan, are attempting to force segregation at public functions in the Institute Auditorium is comparable to the Ku Klux demonstration against Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee, Alabama, and the U. S. Veterans Hospitals located nearby, two years ago. President James E. Gregg, of Hampton Institute wired the AFRO-AMERICN Monday that there is absolutely no truth in Lester Walton's article printed in the New York World Sunday, December 17th, alleging that Hampton Institute is an armed camp because of Ku Klux threats there. Major Allen Washington, Commandant at Hampton, a wire to the NRO-AMERICN inst week, told news reports that the Ku Klux burned a cross on the Institute grounds, and sent him a warning to leave Hampton within ten days. These despatches were carried by the NRO-AMERICN and the AS-sociated Negro Press. Nevertheless it is known that a number of white folks in the vicinity of Hampton, displeased over the fact that reserved seats for those were not available for Donis Davis, gave a special performance for the student body last spring, instigated a systematic attack upon the Institute. The leading spirits in this movement in the New York News Daily Press, John Powell, white, a celebrated pianist and composer, and the Anglo-Saxon Club. Spelling segregation of the races public performances at which a admiral charged. Hardly Affect Hampton Such a law even if passed would hardly affect Hampton, which will its five million dollar endowment is the richest institution in the state. The Institute will well afford public calls on the camp free and thus continue its presse seating arrangements. Officially, Hampton regards the attacks of this minority group not of sufficient morale to the institute true board. It is known that a number of influential whites of the state disagree with the Anglo-Saxon clubs in their light on Hampton. It is the say, an attempt white folk to invite themselves dinner in a colored person's home and then declare that the color The editor of the NEWS is said to have been among those unable to secure a front reserved seat for the president. Powell's animosity is said to be due in part to jealousy of Nathaniel Dett, Hampton's musical director and composer. Powell's institute has become this music center of Eastern Virginia. Mr. Powell, reports say, was not numbered among the number of musical events of similar character. He is a leading spirit in the Anglo-Saxon Clubs. These clubs have asked the Virginia legislature to pass a law comp spelling, segregation of the races at public performances at which an admission is charged. Hardly Affore Hampton Since a law firm would issued hardly Hampton, which with its five million dollar endowment is the richest institution in the state, the Institute could well afford to make all functions on the campus of its five million dollar present seating arrangements. Officially, Hampton regards this attacks of this minority group as not an offence of the Institute's trustee board. It is known that a number of influential whites of the state disagree with the Anglo-Saxon Hampton. It is they say, an attempt of white folk to invite themselves to dinner in a colored person's home and then declare that the recorded history of the Anglo-Saxon's record of fifty-eight years is a constructive office operating without state aid, turning out useful citizens, and teaching cooperative skills. It is not lost sight of by better thinking, white people, who will be arrayed on the side of Hampton in the fight to enact the Anglo-Saxon Club's resource law.

Cohen was charged with moving a revenue boat placed near the harbor so bootleggers could land their two million dollar cargo of rum. Explaining how bootleggers tricked him Cohen said, Ku Klux were opposed to him holding office and had threatened his life. He kept private detectives with him constan- At the invitation of Patrick Needham, an undercover prohibition agent he said he visited the home of Fatterson, the bootlegger. Fatterson, he was told, would tell him who had made the threats against his life. Alaino Fatterson, white bootleg king and chief witness for the state turned the tide in Cohen's favor when he changed his testimony in a dramatic moment and accused his surveyor of customs, as the one with whom he arranged for the removal of the revenue cutter. The court, then ordered the jury to inquire in a not guilty verdict for Cohen. At the bootlegger's home Canadian beer was passed around the house, and Colen to aid in bringing in a load of liquor. Realizing the trap he was in Cohen finished, his glass of beer and left without answering, a question about a $1,000 bribe he said. "You have gotten me into a hell of a ball of Cohen. Cohen told Needham who advised him not to worry, which afterwards was admitted to be "partly ill." was as follows: Needham said Alonzo Patterson, who is on trial with Cohen and who are hires totalling 15,680 to Needham and another agent, had asked several times about the prohibition agent ringing Cohen to Patterson's home in New York. Cohen told Needham to agree, and after we were in my car on the way to Patterson's home, Cohen said: Needham, tell me exactly what this visit is, for." Drinks Passed Around "Patterson is a wholesale liquor dealer and wants to see you. The Coast Guard Cutters have tied up some of his inventory," I told Cohen. Needham said. "Nobody is in favor of prohibition, and if Mr. Jackson wants to find some he can get, it is stomping pump oil. Cohen told him not make some money in this me. He then said: Needham, if business you are a fool." Needham said they arrived at Patterson's home and they Cohen was in drinking some Canadian beer. "Cohen told a few stories and said he had just returned from Washington, where he was collecting a collector of customs, to get Lines' soap." Needham said. He referred to D. A. Lines, collector of internal revenue for Louisiana, who recently was ousted as chairman of a republican state central committee. "Patterson asked Cohen about getting a letter to the commander of the Coast Guard cutters at Mobile, Needham continued. Cohen said he would know the man. ""But if the Little-Rita troubles you, I can handle that all right," Cohen told -Patterson. Patterson then asked Cohen if he would like to have a few bottles of liquor. Cohen said he would not object. "Patterson then gave Cohen two bottles of Long John Liquor, some beer and beer and I carried hose in my automobile to Cohen's home at 1617 North Miro Street," the probation agent testified.

So no matter how large Pur fund. there will be crying need Grit and of more. Let us go on ith inereased energy until there is Jnoney enough, not, alone to fight These, three major ‘cases involving the Negroe’s citizenship rights, but {iso to serve notice on the country that the Negro is at all times pre- pared to defend his rights in the courts of the Jand.” Girts FROM FOREIGN LANDS. ‘The N.

The slump that attends the days preceding Christmas was as usual, but Christmas Day and Saturday were the only formal recording statements of managers interviewed. The reason for the decline is generally attributed to the scarcity of money for luxuries after gift buying was over. The following telegram proved extremely disappointing to the authorities at the Royal Theatre, where "Body and Soul" was advertised to play on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The telegram also told "Will have serious difficulty getting "Body and Soul" to you in time to have it censored." The wire was signed Oscar Micheaux. The management of the theatre said that it was probable that the picture would be played on January 7 or 11. REGENTS STAGE CREW . . . James Kinard, stage manager at the Regent Theatre, has had a great deal of preparation for his present post. His father was considered one of the best stage mechanics in the Seattle, and was in charge at Liberty Theatre management S.C. The younger Kinard was practically brought up backstage in this house. When the family moved to Baltimore, Kinard junior joined the stage crew at the Douglass Theatre, and remained there until the house became dark before the present management took it over. He is familiar with any settings and can handle the lighting. He also operates the switchboard here. Walney Beckett, a local mechanic, is the assistant at the Regent. VIOLINIST RESIGNS Following the resignation of Jerome Carrington from the Regent Orchestra and the return of Mrs. Lillian Thompson as organist, Paul Harris, violinist for the last eight years, handed in his resignation on Saturday night. The former orchestra member was obliged to leave the organization because of the growth of pupil the students, which is produced at his studio. Being one of the most proficient violinists in the city, much regret was expressed because of his resignation. It is appreciated, however, that both teaching and eight hours daily with the orchestra were too taxing. MADISON REID & OTHERS J. Madison Reid still remains the center of attraction at the Royal Palace. Last week the singer featured a new number, "Summer Nights," for holiday visitors, who demanded that he respond to many encores. Robert ("Bob") Goodweow and Charles Jones Jr. are in the theater. The theater, dining rooms, Donard Johnson, pianist, is in charge of the music. Miss Edna Harper, of this city, has joined the Drake and Walker unit, with Jack Reid's Black and White Review. The company is playing two-night stands in Ohio this week. Tucker and Gresham, the Baltimore mourvevillians who appeared at the Regent last week, rested this week in the city before resuming their tour. OPERATORS' SITUATION .... There promises to be a positive "showdown" to be made soon between the two operated Operators' Protective association and white operators affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. Matter is in preparation for release at an early date, which promises some startling developments. ROYAL Sidney Kirkpatrick and Laura Bowman lead the field at Royn this week, and set a dazzling pace. These artists are among the professors and proved decidedly entertaining in a sketch. Miss Bowman is a delightful example of the hopelessness of the Volsted law, which Mr. Kirkpatrick as an artistic husband provided an enjoyable conspirator in the plot. Just a little something not to be taken seriously, which the "customers" didn't put together for laughing purposes, who know how to do it handsourly. Tolliver and Harris, the former a "Chink" and the latter under cork, pleased the customers on Monday evening. Dick and Dick with their familiar sketch also went over nice- St. Clair and Wilson and Pink and Pink completed the bill.

The universal verdict was that the event was a triumph of the highest order. The public and the musical critics alike were most enthusiastic in praise of both the singer's voice and the perfection of his art. The accompaniment by Williard Law are also received the highest praise. Many of Atlanta's most prominent music lovers were sponsors of the concert, including the head of the biggest bank, the editors of two of the great daily papers, a well-known millionaire and many others, both men and women.

NT Doings Behind The Asbestos-Reviews THEATRICAL SECTION Saturday, January 2, 1926 Doings Behind The Asbestos—Rev DANCERS TOO ROUGH ON BILL COLLECTOR Alberta Pryme Said To Have Beaten Lingerie Seller's Cheek When Latter Tried To Collect OTHER DANCERS SAID TO HAVE GIVEN AID Girls Deny All Charges Calling Woman Agressor But Judge Plasters $10 Fine New York—Naming Alberta Pryme, of the Owl Club 125 W. 458 street, New York. Alberta Rosen who sells singles to show girls and cabaret performers, appeared as complainant in West Side Court exhibited at the Museum, and claimed that Miss Pryme with others in the club had assaulted her. The Rosen woman's face was said to twice its normal size and a part of her right cheek showed tooth marks. The three performers arrested by a court of appeals named as: Ruth Payton, 20, performer; Lucille Smith, 23,舞者; and Alberta Pryme, 23 performer. Miss Pryme, 23, became the instigator of the attack by the injured woman, was fired $10. Mrs. Rosen said that she went to Miss Pryme Bites the club to collect money owed her for lingerie. She alleges that Alberta Pryme refused to settle up or down. Ruth Payton a.i. Lacille Smith are said to have shot the woman's arms, while Miss Pryme got in some fancy decorated toothwork. Bleeding. Mrs. Rosen hurried out without collecting, and secured the law. The girls maintained that the saleswoman was the aggressor and denied all of her charges. Other performers in the cabaret witnessed the battle. Reviews REGENT Lucilio Hegeman, who I believe, was the first colored singer to attain fame after the entrance of Manieke Smiley at the Mannheim concert is leading the bill here this week. The singer is accompanied by her 9 Sunnyland Cotton Pickers. There is none of the meaning, discordant shades and but rather a melodious interpretation of her numbers in a pleasing voice with words splendidly enunciated. The singer is hard to harden, but rather a melodious tenorities, and has a charming stage presence. Under the direction of J. C. Fullerton, who is also pianist, the orchestra leaned more melodiously than dissonance of others. The entire saxophone section, James Bell, Russell Procope, and Horace Langhorne doubles. The latter also features several clever dancers var The other members are: Clifford Bryant, coronet; Cecil Carpenter, trombone; Walter Thomas, banjo; James Harrison, bassoon; the playing of the harp instrument, a Sousaphone, is suppressed and tuned. Miss Lulie Hogemin and her players save the day in a truly entertaining week. This morning, "Moving on," the number is "I'm Gonna Hang Around My Sugar," if You Hadn't Gone Away," "Camel Walk" and "Howdy Do, Diike," the latter number was written by Fullerton, the band. Perry and Perry, Oakley and Oakley and a white juggler were the other acts on the bill. The juggling was essentially a family office affair and nothing more. The performer's amount of unintended "slips" placed him very little outside the amateur ranks. STAR With EffeMae Moore, Jessie Brown and Andrew Fairchild in the principal parts, "Effe Mae Moore and Her Jazz Terrors" evidently pleased the customers here on Monday afternoon. Moore is ahead of the female service. Fairchild and Brown serve up the comedy, and had many pleased takers. Willie Brown is the straight and bold of the comedy and Phillips, billed as Charleston Sheiks, danced their way "right out of the world." The team is adept at each department of the dancing game. Elizabeth (Dinah) Scott has joined number with extreme skill. The chorus is well costumed and has been well trained. These 12 people make as creditable a showing as any company showing a performance of the dialogue and songs is another commendable point in their favor. Deaths In Profession Albert Anderson, of the former team of Anderson and Goines, died on December 8th at his home in Keouk, Ohio, from a nervous order. Since his death in a backpack last August, the deceased had sought to recuperate in Pennsylvania and New York. The deceased was 58 years of age and entered the program at McGadden's "Uncle Tom's Cabin" company. Subsequently he had played vaudeville, and with the old "South Before the War" company, Sam T. Jack's Creoles, and teamed with U.S. Army Captain and A.M. Mamie Anderson until ill health caused his wifes retirement in 1901. His last partnership with Jay Goines for 23 years and with U.S. Army Captain and A.M. Mamie Anderson had been a Keith Feature for a number of years. The two partners were insuperable and nothing ever happened in the entire life of their association to cause the slightest of deceased is survived by two elders.

The Times gave four rounds, New York a like number and called a draw. The Metropolitan papers giving the fight to Flowers the News, Herald-Tribune and the American Telegraph gave McTigue, the New York News gave Flowers seven of the 10 rounds, McTigue, two and classed one as being even, Paul Gallico, in the New York News, said "Mike McTigue for a decision over Flowers at the Christmas Fund Show. With this decision." Jack Lawrence, in the New York Herald-Tribune, said, "Mike McTigue declared the declared flowers despite the attack that the Georgia fighter had won at least seven of the ten rounds. The verdict raised a squawk that will keep the boxing world ecstatic about the worst decisions rendered in any fight club in this state since professional boxing was legalized here. Lawrence was astounded when Humphries announced the verdict, and then burst into a storm of boos and jeers that was kept up half an hour after the boxing Peter J. Brady and Bernard Glimbel, it being the first time this pair has officiated in a local club. The referee was Eddy Purdy." James P. Dawson, in the New York Times. "Flowers started the bout, warming his face, with his southpaw stance, presented a problem for Mike, the champion, which Mike did not solve. Sam Hall, Universal Service stal correspondent, New York American Tiger Flowers, the Georgia Deacon, whom that was the wind-up of the big Christmas Fund boxing show in New Madison Square Garden tonight, but they gave the decision to Mike McTigue. He co-collapsed what was otherwise a great card, and McTigue get the Christmas present. "Flowers won at least eight of ten rounds. By no stretch of the imagination could McGifne be more than two rounds. He would have given Flowers every round of the ten. Certainly he lost no round by a wide margin. He must fortunate that such a bad decision had to be given at a Christmas Fund show. Bernard Gimbel, a judge, judges. Peter J. Brady, who is in the banking business, was the other judge. Eddie Purdy, a capable referee, was the third man in the game. McGifne and Flowers fought a really tough battle. They were busy all the time they were in the court of glove fighting. "McGifne and Flowers fought a really tough battle. They were busy all the time they were in the court of glove fighting. Flowers should have had the decision because he surely was the busier of the two. It was it and certainly it was a good fight. The fight itself pleased the people who spent their money to help the Christmas fund, but the decision sent them away in a sour "But as far as they went Mike lost by the proverbial mile and probably knows it as well as 14,000 miles, but even when they will draw, but after that decision it will be a dangerous fight to stage. "Away from it: "A ten-round fight between Mike McTigue and Tiger Flower, at the New Garden for the benefit of the Christmas season, a news story compared to one of the most outrageous decisions rendered in a town where poor decisions are nothing extraordinary, and a dict to McTigue after he had been sprayed with punches from the opening to closing bells and thorny blinds, illicit verdict was turned in at the end of a bout, this was it. Even Jimmy Johnston, McTigue's son, the ladder in a daze and came to the press trenches with one hand over the side of his face in an edge of complete and utter surprise. "Flowers had every round but the third, fifth and sixth by a wide margin, and two of these were only. Only the fifth went to McTigue, and only the Irishman's enabled him to go the distance."

Bettencourt with setbacks, the boys have carried on despite many disadvantages until Race athletes' area recognized and are being accorded a place in the sun. Our boys have held the spotlight in many Northern and Western colleges and thru sheer pluck and ability they have won for themselves glory, honor and have blazed the trail for others to follow. The MIRROR wishes a most prosperous and happy New-Year to its thousands of readers and those identified with the sporting fraternity, and, while it is impossible to meet all of you or to name each individual, the same greetings are for all even if your name has not appeared in this column. So again we wish you a very Happy New Year. TRACK— De Hart Hubbard, of the University of Michigan, is one of the few athletes to have established a new record during the past year. Hubbard's running broad jump mark of 25 feet 10-7 inches at Chicago last June has never been attained by a human being. This same versatile Western flash equalled the world mark in the half century dash. He is acclaimed the greatest college athlete of all times and has run the 100 yards in 94 seconds. Brice Taylor, of the University of California, on his school relay team, ran the 440 in the new record time of 41.9-10 seconds on May 16 at Los Angeles. He is classed as the best spinner west of the Rockies. Augustus Moore, of Boys' High School, New York, secures five consecutive victories over the pick of New York school boys in the Columbia University interscholastic cross-country runs during the month of The meets at Hampton. Howard and other schools were largely attended and many track records were broken. Richardson of Dumbar deserves special mention for his performances at Hampton, he won the 100-vard dash in 9.9 and the 220-vard dash in the new time of 22 seconds. Roberts, of Bordentown, also shared honors as an individual scorer. He placed first in 120 low hurdles, the broad jump, high jump, second in the 100 and third in the 220, scoring 19 points for his team. LOCAL— J. Brady made a new State record in the running step, and jump by covering a distance of 43 feet 8 inches on July 17. We were consistently negotiated the course in 0.5 in the All-for-Glory Meets held in the Drumlin Park Box. Bordentown crackers triumphed over Wash- ington for the second time. John Carroll sporting the colors of the AFRO-AMERICAN, placed second in the 2014 race at Howard University. Carroll also won the Baltimore Health Week marathon race held over the city streets, and won the mile run in the Municipal Games on Decoration Day. BOXING— Altho not a champion, Harry Wills, the Brown Panther, is easily more popular with the fight fans than Jack Dempsey. Dempsey has "signed" to meet him in several occasions, but has always found some way to dodge the challenge. The New Orleans Mauler tops the list when it comes to the highest fincher industry. Many experts, including Dempsey, believe Wills will be the next heavyweight champion if he ever meets the best fighter. Lee Anderson is the ranking light-heavyweight of the country. Anderson has met some of the best mittmen and has given a good account of himself His latest fight with Battleg Siki in Baltimore did not add much to his prestige, as both fighters were stalling most of the time. However, Anderson is about the best in his calis. Larry Estridge lost his chance at fame by losing to Berlechen. Tiger Flowers, the Georgia churchman, is the most colorful fighter in recent years. His rise was phenomenal until he was stopped twice by Jack Delaney. However, his recent victory, according to reports, despair the adverse decision over Mike McTigue in the 1990s, placed the Tiger man in the spotlight with Paul Borlenbach for the world championship. Altho a legitimate middleweight. Flowers fights in kickboxing and heavyweight classes in order to get fights. Jack McVey found it hard to get work in the welterweight class last year. Johnny Moseley was the heaviest of the weights the past year and the son of the son, given a chance. Chick Suggs, New England champion, rules the bantam and featherweight divisions. Has recent notable victories entitled him to a crack at the bantamweight crown. Al Brown and Wilbur Cohen are the leading contenders in the flyweight classes. Both are headliners at the best clubs in New York. LOCAL— The Pastime Boxing Club on Pennsylvania avenue has turned out several good boxers, but these boys have to show their wares in other cities, as Baltimore bars mixed bouts and none are given prominent parts on local cards. Walter Eubanks, formerly Young Jeff Clark, is making good in Pennsylvania and other cities in the North. Young Harry Wills's always a good card in Atlantic City. Harry Simms, lightweight, had a successive season in Australia and is now under the management of Harry Mulligan manager of Harry Wills. Simms, Napoleon Robinson is a promising heavyweight under the management of Battling Spencer, Johnny Richburg, under the tutelage of Max Prock; is a coming light-heavy.

Booker Washington of Newport News, Va. won the High School Inter-State football title last year. LOCAL. Morgan College, with one defeat for the year, made an enviable record. Howard was the only eleven the Bears bowed to. Coach Jim Lewis' squad held the powerful Lincoln Lions to a 6-6 tie and bids-fair to become a strong factor in grid circles, this year as the local team will bring their present squad intact. The Douglas "Ducks" had the best team in history and lost to Armstrong and Booker Washington in two hard-fought contests. The "breaks" wont against the high school in these two contests, altho they outplayed their opponents on both occasions. TENNIS— Young "Ted" Thompson, Wilberforce student and Washington boy, wears the tennis crown wrested from Tally Holmes and Edgar Brown at Bordonton last August. The American Tennis Association, under the presidency of Dr. H. S. McCard, has grown by leaps and bounds and is the reigning court aggregation in the country. Miss Lulu Ballard, 17-year-old girl. disposed of Miss I. Channels, three-times champion, for the ladies' title. Greater interest has been taken in the court game, and from all indications the New Year will find the sport of kings more popular than ever. LOCAL— Outsiders took away local honors when Ted Thompson defeated Dr. Rhetta and Miss Ora Washington of Philadelphia won the ladies' single event. Dr. Rhetta won the Wilmington, Del., championship. Young "Ed" Jones was crowned the Junior title for boys, while young Alfred Walker and John Carroll show the "makings" of future champions. BASEBALL— Bad weather late in the season was responsible for the small crowds attending the world series in the West and Philadelphia. Hildale defeated the Western champion Kansas City Monarchs, for the world title. Both teams played a bowled of ball equal to championship matches in the National leagues. America Clubs in the East and West are constantly adding new material and the prospects are the sport will reach its highest point of development this year. LOCAL The Baltimore Black Sox, according to George Rossiter, have no "kick" coming. Indifferent playing late in the season was the cause of the club dropping out of the race for the pennant. The club will be run along new lines this year and will make an effort to float the pennant over the Monumental City. The owners are already bringing in several new players of proven worth and when the season opens in the spring the team will have the ear-marks of a strong contender for honors. BASKETBALL The history of the Renaissance of New York over the Original Celtics (white) last week, who are the world champions, places the New York club at the top of the basketball world. The score resulted 37-30 in one of the greatest court games in years. Basketball is fast rivalling base-ball in popularity as an American sport. Howard University, Lincoln, Wilberforce and schools of the G. I. A. A. had representative teams, and attendance has increased over 30 per cent. LOCAL The Baltimore Athletes had an unusual prosperous season last year, and in their last three starts this winter have emerged with tiring colors. The team went on the longest road trip ever made by a basketball team. This group of ball tossers, under Manager Howard Wright, have achieved a name for fair and up to date the country. They are the ambitions that last. The Scholastics, unfortunately out of the running this winter due to financial difficulties, was classed with the leading teams last year. The High School floor team went thru the season with only one reverse, they lost by one point to Armstrong in Washington. The AFRO league has started this year after being idle for a few years. The seven clubs making up the team are evenly matched and crowds passing the games every Tuesday and Saturday in the "Y" gym. This will be a banner year for cage followers.

YOUNG Hampton, Va.—Hampton advanced another peg in the race for Association supremacy when a Tiger from the wilds of Lawrenceville failed to break thru the case, and a certain Seasider clan ran 'amuck doubling their opponents score of 20 while St. Paul's lad looked on in confusion. Another face took the limelight today as twice-elected captain, Chester R. Jones, recorded six baskets to take high point honors with 12. Jones was a mainstay in Hampton's protective often dislocating St. Paul plays which looked like inevitable goals. AMIS SHINES. Amis of the Tigers, almost single-handed, accounted for over half of the team's points. This versatile forward throw, often shooting under fire, the Seasider, Hargrove, comes close behind Amis with three shots and four free tries for a total of 10 points. "Shortly" Lambright was next down the lily with four baskets and one foul shot. Both teams exhibited well tutored defensive games and keen passing skills, and were able to their feet. St. Paul was handicapped by inadequate playing facilities at home, but expects soon to have a new coach and trainers on the road. CUTIE/'BROWN Robinson sank a couple of long ones for the Tigers, while Bannister and Cutter were able to be situated for Nelson, guarded well. The guarding and passing of "Cuttle" Brown for the Seasiders was especially brilliant and worthy of mention. Both teams defended the Freshmen by a count of 9-5. The Lineup: AMKTON ST.

DR JONES WARNS CITY AGAINST MEASLES Spreading Throughout Baltimore. Earlier This Year. Than Usual HEALTH DEPT. GIVES ITS SUGGESTIONS Advises Mothers To Segregate Sick Children And Call Doctor At Once Measures epidemic risk: rapidly gaining headway in the city of Baltimore according to G. Hampson Jones, of the city Health Department. The increase has been so rapid that 523 cases were reported in November. This means that the height of the epidemic wave will probably come in an interval about 3 months earlier than usual. Measles is regarded as a spring disease and not a winter disease. Measles cause a good many deaths about two and a half times more than influenza. Dr. Jones says. All most of the measles deaths occur among babies as the result of the disease running into pneumonia. Winter measles are more apt to be fatal because there are more babies infected, according to Dr. Jones, measles is an epidemic which cannot be stopped spreading so easily like influenza as to be virtually beyond control. The Health Department, however makes the following suggestions to mothers: If you have a child under 4 years old or if you have a child under 4 who is not in good physical condition: 1. Do not take him shopping or to other places where there are crowds. 2. Do not let him play with children who have been exposed to measles. 3. If an older child in the household who has not yet had measles gets exposed in school or in any other place, keep him and the baby separate for two weeks before he should be taken to the baby. You cannot rely on separating the baby from him after he has taken sick because he will have infected the baby several days before he should be taken to the baby to separate an older child from the baby is to send either the baby or the older child to the home of a friend or relative. It is not possible to them separate in the house. 4. If your child gets measles, put him to bed in a room with plenty of fresh air and not too much light. Call your physician for measles as too light a disease to need a physician.

Kesner, president of the local branch, National Association for the Advancement of Colored people. Mr. Koger said, "The Hayes' recital of January 6th is an effort at segregation in one of its most venerous forms. It should be condemned and resented by every red-blooded colored American of Baltimore. The longest tenon singer of the colored Race, coming to a city with more than 114,000 colored citizens according to the latest police census and the promoters of the recital, soliciting all help and assistance to help and endorsement of those colored persons who have shown a signal interest in musical affairs, and yet the recital is divided among GLOREAN and for the white There is no excuse for this. Mr. Lane and I met Mr. Hayes' managers term two years ago when he was desirous of singing here, and a 60-40 division of the 'gross receipts in Mr. Hayes' favor with $1.60 as a top price. The contract was finally let to her, a white wife, who wished to have Mr. Hayes heard in Baltimore.

ORPHANS AND CRIPPLES ATTENDED Guests Treated To Candy And Cake And 400 Stay At Homes Treated Some 800 children were made happy before the appearance of St. Nicholas, when they attended a Christmas party, given them at the Royal Theatre on Christmas Eve. Many of the little guests came from St. Elizabeth's Catholic Orphanage, Old York Road; Johns avenue and Old York Road; Johns avenue and Spelling Remington Avenue and 32st; and crippled children from the public schools. They enjoy the pictures and the vaudeville? Does a duck like water? I hope to tell you they did. Entering the theatre each child was given a half pound box of candy and a size ginger cake. Thus provided for the pictures which followed. First there were Felix the Funny Cartoon Cat. Felix went out and fought the "Jinjins," and after fighting, warriors, wound up by shooting holes in a cigar store Indian until the poor fellow looked like a slave. And now the little folk were in a rare good humor for "Wild Animals in Borneo" the next picture shown. How they squealed at the monkeys caught in the tray, shivered as the captured leopard sought to dismember his captors and cheered as the monster snake was dislodged from the tree. Everything met everyone's approval and then the feature picture, "The Goose Hangs High" flashed into view and 1,600 eyes became focused on the screen, 300 miniature hearts beat a little faster and hundreds of little brains absorbed the Christmas story about the unappreciative boys and girls who were taught the Christmas spirit by their wise old grandma. Then. The Show But like all other good things the picture ended, the orchestra played a lively air and the curtain was lifted disclosing the Woodens who did more things with bleycles and educated hoops than Wrigley has done to chewing gum. In rapid succession followed Nites the contortionist, Anita Bush and girls, Ray and Lloyd with their musical instruments and Bagby and Manton the dancers. A more orderly crowd of youngsters has seldom gathered in the city said the attendants, of the theatre, and the little visitors voted the man who had been the subject of GOOD FELLOWS. 400 boxes of candy and cakes were distributed to the various orphanages of the city also.

East Baltimorean Always In Lead At Holliday Street When Old Ky, Came Syndicate Operated To Keep Championship Across Town The minds of oldtimers went into reverse on Monday afternoon at the Star Theatre when Jesse Brown, best known for a school of local performers, fast disappearing came on the stage. Brown's chief claim to fame in days past, was a buck and wing expert. He was born in New York and defeated all competitors in Oldtown and other sections of the city. The annual theatrical occasion at the former Holiday Street Theatre, now for down town audiences, at the early days of 1900 was the visit of "Old Kentucky" the racing drama which always showed at this house. feature, fascinating to small boys and many of their elders was a band of colored boys, called the *Pickamiammy*, who provided the street and jazz concert outside the theatre and on the stage. Attri.1 in brilliant red instruments, they were the envy of every small boy intown. Brown Was Boss The high spot of the Thursday night performance was a buck dancing contest with a host who defended the professional dancers carried with the show. Jessie Brown never missed entering one of these competitions, often developed into one of extreme bitterness, but Brown usually managed to annoy the first prize winner, a contemptible; some say that merit conquered. But it was often whispered around corners wherever newsboy raplies in school the next day; that Brown, who was in charge of the entries, never permitted a competitor to enter that he thought had a problem. Undefeated Champion Whether the accusations were just or not, Jesse Brown held the title for a surprisingly long five, and was never unstretched until a few years before for the thesis. "Thrilled in the Straw" was the title tune played for the contestants, and the judges were the "gallery gods" of both colors who milled around on top tiers of seats and yelled out their approval of Jesse's performance portions of the show dancers. Jesse Brown shared honors with "Nigra Bill" as the leader of the Number $ Gang (The Gang was thus numbered for Number $ Fire Company which still stands at Gay and Elder. The Syndicate All East Baltimore boys "went for Number 6, and doubtlessly cast their vote or jesus Brown during those months so the team so called "Syndicate" could discourage any aspirant who invaded their neighborhood and threatened Brown has headed his own company and has played quite extensively over the colored time.

Thoughts Of The Founder Selected from the writings of the founder of the Afro-American. "In the century to come the Negro will be sought for only in proportion as he may, have something to give to the world. He may be a Paul Lawrence Dunbar, a Henry O. Tanner, or a DeKoven Thompson, but in either case he must demonstrate the fact that he is able to kill and then his color will be no bar to his advancement, as he will hold the future in his own grasp." Polly Ticks Mr. Edward H. Wright, political boss of the second ward, in Chicago, having aspirations for a national Republican politics is quoted Chicago parishers recently as follows: "Leaders of our district have here Madden again. We consider it a distinction to return a man like Mr. Madden to Congress. Our Congressman is one of the best in the house. As chairman of the house, appropriations committee and as a leader in Congress, Mr. Madden can run the nation than any man of our own race we might send to Washington. We consider it a patriotic duty to send him." Mr. Wright's district is probably the only one in any big city which can elect a colored member of Congress. As he goes on, however, he doesn't want to. Why? Some say there exists a political deal, whereby Mr. Madden is to say in Congress as long as his care to return colored political plums in the state. Mr. Wright is on the Illinois commerce commission at a high salary. Chicago has a municipal judge, assistant corporate attorney, and in fact more political posts than any city except New York. On the other hand, politicians left at home and a colored congressman elected. The next year the State legislature would Jerry曼斯德尔 Mr. Wright's district so the state barely belts colored voters. Which of these two explanations is true is not known. It is known that Mr. Wright's own explanation is pure bunk. If Mr. Wright loved his own wounded soldier, all the would resign today and turn their places over to "those who can better represent us."

House in the Elm Avenue, New York, between 100th and 101st streets recently. The letters were painted boldly in black, one foot high. Investigation showed the dwelling house is the property. No dwelling white, while the adjoining his neighbor buy the dwelling. The neighbor refused. The two had words, and out of "spite" Levine advertised for colored tenants. When throws fall out, wise men come to their own." This has been literally true in the real estate business. Quarrels between white property owners sometimes prove the only way by which an overcrowded colored can expand into adjoining blocks. It has been true in industry. White labor falls out with color colored workers get a chance at jobs from which color prejudice has long Allens went home to serve their mother countries in the world war and industries had to call the colored workers out of the far South by the thousands. Permanent advantage for the man farthest down often comes when those higher up quarrel. Sometimes it is a disadvantage. The capitalist knows when he can't get any one else to work for him, he can hire colored folk. The real estate dealer hopes that when all other tenants fall, he can rent to colored people. Even Uncle Sam unable to get volunteer soldiers in sufficiently large numbers, thinks he can fall back upon the colored race. Where advantage is permanent, and it often takes a nice judgment to determine it, colored folk should profit by such disagreements. It is, however, time to consider whether such move is profitable or a mere temporary scheme to pull chestnuts out of the fire for one or the other of the contesting parties. In the instance above it is worth noting that no colored persons answered the advertisement. Mr. Leine and his neighbors will have to settle their troubles without making the goats. Mr. Walter Cohen, Collector of the port at New Orleans, La., was freed of conspiracy to violate prohibition laws and assist bootleggers in funding $2,000,000 worth of run last week. Thus another chapter in the eventful life of a politician in the South. Mr. Cohen was nominated for the office by President Harding. The Senate, upon the objection of Louisiana senators refused to confirm, and Mr. Harding put Mr. Cohen in office as a recess, appointee. Subsequently Mr. Coolidge sent the Cohen appointment back to the senate and after a bitter battle he was confirmed. Ku Klux, however, threatened to "get" Mr. Cohen. They might have succeeded in their plans this time but for one of their number who weakened under fire, and admitted that his testimony against the collector of the port was "frame-up". Patrick Needham, white, undercover prohibition agent, already convicted of taking bribes in this case, was the chief witness against Mr. Cohen and which questioned by Cohen's attorneys gave testimony in part as follows: "Your duties sometimes require you to tell lies, do they not?" Needham: "Yes." "Your work requires you to enact the role of a crook and grafter and you are in the business of doublecrossing." Needham: "Yes." "Were you not sworn in. at the injection office of the Klu Klu Klu Klu Obiected to. "Are you not a Klansman?" Objected to. "Your father is a member of the state central committee?" Objected to. "And your father is aligned with the Republican faction headed by Dr. D. A. Lines, which is opposed to Cohen." "No, the Republican I read that in the newspapers." Mr. Cohen had secured the prohibition job for Mr. Needham. Suspended for two years, Mr. Needham got his job back. Then out of gratitude this alleged Klu Klux made an effort to implicate his 'friend' in the rum scam. This is an excellent lesson to Mr. Cohen. He escapes this time with only his whiskers sung, due to the inability of the double-crosses to the uprightness of Federal Judge Grubb, who ordered the verdict "not guilty." Mr. Cohen has learned not to trust double-crossing dry agents as his friends, and not to accept the hospitality of the big bootleggers. Personally he may continue to regard prohibition enforcement as a joke, officially, he learned better. Wink at it.

The other day, Honorable John Smith, colonel of the New York City, was given the gavel; ascended to the restroom; and presided over the last session of the Board. No one had heart failure, and none of the white aldermen resigned. The fact, he said, was that his white colleague broke out in hearty applause, upon the elevation of their official brother. There was no silence of inferiority; nor did the question of social equality come up for them. The reason for the serious business concerning the greatest city in the United States; and at that time the course of events called for Alderman Smith in the chair.

Alderman Smith is alderman for ALM—not some—of the people in his district; and he is willing to help his friends go to the polls on the election day. It would be a splendid step forward if government were interpreter of the instrumentality of ALL—not some—of the people. It would probably result in the election of some additional Audestons and "Judge Georges" in places other than New York and Chicago.

Mr. Editor: I fear you miss the real point, or lesson, of the Detroit trial when you go off in a contrast of Christianity with Darrowism. Christianity is absolutely nothing but the LIFE AS LIVED by its Divine Founder. That life is all right, and has done more to regenerate the world than with illumination. The good deeds of miffles sometimes as a means of arousing the faithful to a closer imitation and a more sincere following of the Master. Just one illustration. The design of the book of "Jonah" in the Bible is to indicate the attitude of the Almighty toward "race prejudice." Jonah had been a preacher for a long time to God's people, the Jews. Such terrible backsliders the Jews become that of Jonah the impatient and forgetful of God. Jonah, as a preacher, had utterly failed. Now, in order to administer an indirect rebuke to his chosen people and show them how quickly the colored people of the city would repent and turn to Him if given a chance, He ordered Jonah to go to Nineveh and preach. But Jonah was steeped in "race prejudice," and turned aside to go elsewhere. Then after he had ten overt acts of his misdeeds with the fish, he went to Nineveh and preached, and had a most glorious success. And, instead of being glad by reason of his great success, because of this same "race prejudice" he became even more viciously angry, and wanted to die Let us not abuse real Christians who are-nobly working for the Spirit of Christ to permeate the mass of humanity. "Race prejudice" is a terrible and obstinate disease which requires long, patient and unwarred treatment. But the race is the emphasized the financially among the race must cease exploiting the race and capitalizing "race prejudice." God hath iniquity and hypersperous, and when the materially prosperous among us turn to the Lord with all their hearts, they will show by that kind of love that they betray, by that kind of love that they cheerfully dispose them to use their means and their talent in a genuine effort to decrease "race prejudice."

AND A MINISTER OF THE GOSPEL STOOD BY. On three occasions the writer has been in the presence of a woman and has walked to the scaffold with the certain knowledge that they were spending their last minutes on earth. ALWAYS AND NEVER REQUITED HAD SOUGHT PENTEISTICAL GUIDANCE IN THOSE LATERN MOMENTS. Father Ade, for many years a chaplain and for many years Pentelic stated in the presence of a man about to be hung, that death was the certain knowledge of death was one of his successes. We have seen men who have lived the lives of brutes and whose consciences seemed dead to any impulse of goodness, sufficed by the scaffold with angelic grace. If you are sentimental and have any inclination to oppose capital punishment take a. second thought, and for the sake of the truth, THEM FACE DEATH AND DIE. THEIR SOULS WILL HAVE A BETTER CHANCE LIKE THEY WERE ENTERING PARADISE THAN IF THEY WERE LEFT HERE TO WASTE THE REST OF THEIR LIVES. AND THEN AT LAST PERHAPS GO TO TORMENT. Death is the leveller of all human values. Whether or not WE KNOW that there is a chance that there is DEATH. And as Shakespeare has wisely said, "In that sleep of death, what dreams may come should give us pause. What could that could happen for half of the people in this world as well as the other half that would be left, would be the certain knowledge that they only had one week There is a growing race consciousness in Africa, points out Dr. Deldrich H.

How does her population Europe is dependent upon the enormous resources of Africa, but to obtain the benefits of these resources, Europe has a awakened to the need to cooperate with the COOPERATION INSTEAD OF DOMINION. On the Gold Coast natives are developing their own civilization according to their own ideas and institutions, and the system of education. Here you find large expanses of 'cocoa farms, the peanut and cotton industries' were in the hands of the natives. It is not uncommon to see natives of great wealth and position as high as that of chief justice. In many parts of the country, they were activated and used for African newspapers, while numerous prominent natives were dropping the European names they had adopted to their African appellations. Dependence and belief in self is the first step to any permanent civilization, and the future this will guide the future destiny of this mighty empire. Miss Burroughs And Inter-Marriages In her column in a recent issue of the Washington Tribune Miss Nannie Burroughs answers the question of how does she favor inter-marriage between the races. Although starting out with the promising reply that she does not want her position to be questioned, she shoots back, questioning her statement will look like a cross word puzzle to most young men and women who are anxious to know just what their leaders think about this. "Her answer is that I look if I stand for inter-marriages. I wish to make my position on the social relationship of the races, very clear. I stand inter-decency, very clear. I stand inter-engagement, very clear. I stand inter-mandate that "socially, more sinny on their own side." The Purifying Aspects Of Death Base Consciousness In Africa This may have answered the question of her white friend" and perhaps satisfied her that Miss Burroughs was sane on the "social equality question" but it will be a cross word puzzle to as many young men and women, seeking honest knowledge and guidance, as they read it. The question grows out of her discussion of the Rhinoelder case, and Miss Burroughs missed a nightly good chance to reach the heart of one of the most deep seated of American human tragedies. Deep down perceive the truth and certainty of civilization in which this case was submerged, there is the problem of the American melting not.

He was a writer and founder of the realistic school of Russian fiction. He was also a scholar and even held court title under Nicholas I.

"Will you-please give me some data concerning the late Colonel G. K. Kogasba, Colobel Charles Young was born in Kentucky in 1816. Echoes of his life can be found in West Point, 1853. Upon graduation assigned to Ninth and 1857th Class, he served in the Calvary (white) for ten months during 1857. Major during Spanish American War, he served in charge of the Phillippines with 2nd Infantry, 1812 made Major and military attaché to the United States, and in charge of Liberian Constabulary. Died at Lagos, Nigeria, January 7, 1873. Daily news of the discoveries, being made on site of the Sumerians, gave the state that the Sumerians, who founded it, were non-Semitic. Who were they? Zeddah, from no name "Cush," the son of Ham, who was the actual or legendary king of the term Sumerian, Acadian, Elamite, etc., are various national names given to them, those that inhabit these regions and built the first civilizations.

The Moors influence the civilization of Europe during the Middle Ages—R. F., D., Cleveland. "If you will read Draper's Intellectual Development of Europe, you will discover, that the Moors and their Mohammedan conference was a crucial influence and development of civilization in Europe. The Nordics of Europe were sunk in the deepest sort of mental crudeness that brought the contact with the Islamic Mohammedanism." Kelly Miller Says Kelly Miller Says The nature and circumstances of the Negro race contains a wealth of cultural material which has scarcely been touched. The pathos, the tragedy, the joy, the sorrow which gathered-around this people, when properly portrayed and adequately presented according to the canons of art and style, will make a powerful appeal to the imagination of mankind. "THE NEW NEGRO AND THE OLD" "The New Negro" is the title of a remarkable book by a remarkable man. This volume has just rolled from the press of the New York Times, and reviews in the New York Times, the New York Herald Tribune, the National and the Crisis have always fallen behind my notice. I see lafe in saying that no book on the race question has ever received more praise than from high literary authorities. Dr. Alaine Leroy Locke, Rhodes scholar, Harvard doctor and Howard professor, is the author, compiler and editor. The fact that Mr. Locke was chosen as Rhodes scholar from among all of the competitors of the State of Pennsylvania shows his merit and his mettle, when he is considered that personality and social qualities are determined along with scholarship and determining factors, we are simply amazed that a Negro should have horse away the palm over his more favored rivals. Peer of Race. In cultural equipment Dr. Locke is peer, if not superior, of any Negro in America, or, for that matter, in the world. He has conceived his vast storehouse of refined and exact information, together with a singular detachment eviction to the sublimation of race. One would naturally expect that a scholar of his subley of mind would seek solution through the sublimation of literature. Dr. Locke looks to the portrayal of the Negro's soul; artistic form as indicative of the relationship in the racial life and relationship. Art or Propaganda. He boldly discounts the method of sociology, philanthropy and religion for the more subtle and potent influence of art. Dr. Du Bois' in his review of Dr. Locke's book, in the current issue of the Criticism of the Christian religion, which attempts to divorce art from propaganda. But Dr. Locke rather agrees with Keats that beauty is its own excuse for being, an dthat art for art's sake has a greater pragmatic value than pragmatism, and will not attempt to settle the disagreement between the learned doctors. I note, however, that Shakespeare never preaches; he merely portrays. He holds the mirror up to nature, whereby men may see thelection of a woman and duty, and walk therein if they will. Curiously enough, in this connection one reads in the current issue of the Contemporary Review that the Russian intelligensia is undertaking to project the renaissance of Russian higher hope against the modern naval, Paskhin, the Russian roost, and novelist. Alexander Pushkin. It appears that he has, by way of pure art, depicted the soul of the Russian people and pointed out their racial and national destiny, and has thereby set the mind and high call to Shiva's soul. The relation between literature an dile is so inviting a theme that I shall shortly return to it as a special release. But I must reserve the remainder of my life to the moment of space of important propositions in the volume now out before me. The New and Old. What is the new Negro as compared or contrasted with the old? Let us first try to determine what is the Negro. Has he a soul that can be bisolated and described in terms of its own quality and essence? Can noily determine the soul through its manifestation. Its pure essence is so subtle and elusive that no attempt has yet succeeded in isolating or defining either the individual or the social soul. And yet we also know that races have certain psychic peculiarities which set them apart and differentiate them from other races and Negro Spirituals. We learn of the soul by what escapes from it. Tito Hebrew race turned its soul wrong side out, and gave the world, the Bible, that all-sufficient storehouse of spiritual literature. The Negro poured out his soul, his spirituals, from which we learn that it possesses high spiritual potential power. In another mood this same soul has given jazz to the Negro. In still another mood the Negro has never felt well bubbling over with good nature and shrewd discernment. The soul stuff of the Negro is of the essence of the Christ soul. It is slow to anger and plentious in mercy. It resists not evil, but overcometh evil with good. When it is reviled, it revives not a gain. It hopeth all things, helieveth all things, endureth all things. Soul Qualities. This Negro soul is modified somewhat by environment, diversities of condition and infusion of different bloods. But its basic quality is persistent. Whether old or new, his soul for survival in an Anglo-Saxon environment is aside from the question. We are seeking definition, and not doctrine. I have laid down certain of the basic qualities of the Negro soul, whether old or new. Negro man has his soul in terms of the environments and conditions; the new Negro does the same. No Basic Diversity. The diversity of appearance is due to a unitary substance acting under varied stimuli. I am displeased the guard of the old Negro was in the same light as an English bishop described the difference between the old and the new in religion. His analysis was that which is true, and that which is true is not new. Genius of Race. The old Negro in bondage and ignorance and superstition was as true or truer to the genius of the race in the output of his spirit as his grandson with a Ph.D. who assays to express it in the refined and record form of literature and art. There is much caricature of the soul of black folk. We often see imputed to it the revenge, animosity and resentfulness of the Anglo-Saxon. Every Negro who is an artist is not a Negro artist. Pushkin and the Dumke and Tanner were artists whose Negro blood was a meaningless incident. Dunbar Negro:Poet. Dumbart was both a poet who was a Negro and a Negro poet. He has given us the Negro soul in its pure revelry where no white eye could see or ear could hear. On the other hand, he has given us gems of pure poesy that will rank among the choice bits of literature for all times to come. He was properly called the Robert Burns of Ireland, the he could imbricately delocrine the life he has given people, and at the same time poetry in refined English speech the workings of the universal human heart. Borrowed Soul. The first generation of educated Negroes tried to borrow the soul of their perceptors. They were mines of their masters. They endeavored to feel, think and act as their models. They spoke as the white man would speak. Any differentiation of music or manner was considered by some to be an ashamed of the jubilee music which up to this day is the chief spiritual output of the race. As a result, this generation was culturally sterile. Their literary effort consisted in feeble and uninteresting imitation. Miller and Lyle of Fisk produced "Runnin' Wild" which heks so sharply with the traditions of their alma mater that it would run their former teachers' minds. He broke with his tutorial traditions that he could begin to express the soul of his race. Renaissance. It is noticeable in the "New Negro" that the first section whose creative productions constitute what Dr. Locke calls "The Negro Renaissance" are not in the main college area but in the second part, which deals with deserts. The authors are all but without exception men and women of collegiate degrees. The nature and circumstances of the Negro race contain a wealth of cultural material which has scarcely been touched. The pathies, the tragedy, the joy, the sorrow which gather around the people when properly portrayed, identify themselves accorded according to the canons of style will make a powerful appeal to the imagination of mankind. Unlimited Field. The fiel doffers a most attractive opening for the educated men and women now passing through our schools and colleges. There are thousands of white youth who would benefit from the wealth of artistic material, but the races are at present so widely separated in social areas that it is almost impossible for them to attain to such a sympathetic meeting of the minds as to enable them to give a normal and natural portrayal. This is the result in burlesque, caricature or a conscious artifact which is death to art. Creative Imagination. Our colleges are now turning out young men and women by the hundreds each year. The higher education must justify itself by more the nite performance assigned to different colleges. We must look for work of creative imagination. If these works are forthcoming in proportion to the boundless possibilities which are wrapped up in the situation it will doubtless make a better place for the race in the estimation of our white fellow-citizens. For after all has been said and done, the highest value of life. The producers of art hold the first place in the esteem and appreciation of their fellow-men, and the race that produces artists along the various lines of culture will be enhanced in the eyes of mankind. The world likes people who can do things, be merely pityites people who have things don et them. The style of art used to illustrate the "New Negro" is significant and suggestive.

"WHAT BABY SAID" The other afternoon I was lying on the sofa in the drawing room, reading the "Afro" and in the mean time trying to keep my seven-year-old son quiet, who was lying beside me. All at once he gazed in my face asking me to read aloud to him. I said "Brewington, you won't understand." He answered, "Oh you don't know mother I might." However, I did. Finally I told Brewington that reading aloud made my throat dry. He exclaimed "Well read to yourself then," and I did through several interruptions. Not being able to keep quiet any longer he inquired "Mother, didn't you say long ago it made your throat dry to read," I said, yes! He then said in return, "Well it should be good and sore by now."

Dead Folks'Money A SHORT STORY As her cousin entered by the back door Lil Robinson limited a welcome, exchanged iron for a hot one and ordered to press out a tablecloth, "Born down street?" she asked, noting Bemonia Peck's "I've been to the Lawyer Smith." Bemonia took up painting into a chair, drawing a citation paper in this morning mail about Harvay Pillen's an arm, too. He might ought to be, "Haven't heard anything about it." He was dead, of course, and that was year and a half ago. He was him in my life, so I didn't feel terribly interested, even though he was my second cousin. He doesn't. don't understand! We are who he is! For, of course, we are he cited, too—to appear as magistrate in the city of Belfast on 2 o'clock on November 21 to show cause why he was and testament of Haru Pitcher, deceased, should not be admitted to probate." She was quoting impressively. Ll turned a laughing face from the ironing board. "Well, you have got it all by heart," she said. "But what does it all amount to, anyway. "amounts," Bennielle's voice trembled. "to $80,000 to be divided among eleven heirs." A momentary astonishment crossed LIL's sweet, honest, sensible face. "How do you know?" she asked at last. "Henrietta told me so. She has been working on this very thing since Cousin Havenley told that is what she will go to be Benjamin for. You realize, LIL, what it means. Sixty thousand divided between an of us—more than one since Henrietta is going to build over her house. We are going to have a new car and a new rug for the parlor and a new dining room suite. We won't salt it in. You can only be young ones. What are you going to say?" to die, she didn't get it yet." Lil folded and creased the tablecloth and hung it on the bars. Her eyes were wistful for thousand dollars wasted, and money. If they should ask, they could use an advantage, with Thelma and feed clamoring for more than their parents had ever had and George tiring out quicker than he used. Her mind spun a new instance inside the cup, a new summer a groove, bill paid, a new overcoat for George and a new stove. Dear, dear, how she needed a new stove. Only yesterday ashes had been her laying on the floor, she had to be careful that Thelma didn't find it out. If there was anything in this inheritance story she would or chicken for Sunday, she would see. She would see, she meant she would see, or carefully with her husband, she didn't intend that the children should find out about it. children said they children did find out. They came in jumping in from school wideeyed and voiceless. "Mother, we are going to get $5,000. Did you know it?" Reed demanded.

Never count your cabbages till the end." George sat down in Ben Snyder's garden, night and destroyed every one. Guess we'll go on as we begin." George sat down in Ben Snyder's garden, into it appreciatively. A great unrest had been created in the children. Dorothy Skillen had been talking in terms of the future, going to get her a white fox fur—when they got their $5,000. Thelma wanted a taupe foal. Reed wanted a real radio, not a scrappy old set he'd fixed abroad. That night there was more talk of the same nature. Llama, Mama, Mr. Skillen and had also received her citation papers. There might be something in it. She alighted. Henrietta was so positive. Barnham had assured her.

It will be invested in a rainy day fund and you might as well stick to your studies and get down to bus- Next day Dorothy Skillen trailed in to show her new scarf. "Mother got it at a store, and had it on her. But you ought to to mother's new seal coat!" "Charged, too?" George said dryly.

The old lady is the st. ks' Money Thema looked so down-hearted that Lil felt a pang. She drew a deep brow. Presently came Benola Peck. "Come over and see what I've got Lil, she said. I found the very ding-room suite I wanted at Ashstons." "Did you have it charged?" Lil asked. Benita looked irritated. "Why not? Cousin Harvey's estate will be settled at once and I can out of my $5,000. It was only $220." Lil wanted to see the new furniture. "They have a rug at Ashton's you ought to get," Benita said. "It will be two, we two, if I were you I'd snap it." "Guess I'll wait and see," Lil replied. During the week that followed Lil had a day of some new thing or one of her cousins had bought. "Dorothy has a new gray dress," Dorothy presented. "They've got lots of new things. And we haven't had anything yet." CONTINUED ON GALLEY NINE "We haven't had any money yet," returned her mother. "But we are soon to get it." "But we are soon to get it," Now stop fussing, my child, and attend to your regular business." A few days later the heirs received a letter from Cousin in Harvey's office after the settlement it had been met. There was exactly $700 a piece. Hannalett wafted, Benonna wailed. "We're going to settle it down," Hannalett mourned. "The last thing I did was to buy a new toilet table for Dorothy's room. I thought sure that plenty to build over the house with." "We won't have a hundred dollars free and clear," sorrowed Benonna. Well, $700 looks like a lot of money. "To tell the truth, I never expected we'd get anything." I am pleased thr and through." Suppose now you'll get your rug. It's on the window at Aston's. Benonna said, jealously. "No. I can get along without the rug. I shall put the money aside for the rug. And, let the interest accumulate. I cannot storms or George isn't feeling good and things are a bit awry. I shall remember that nest egg with pleasure and thank Cousin Harvey for the peace of mind it gives me. And that new rug, more to me than all the new rugs, in the world." ended Lil earnestly.

SERVICE FOR REAR UNCLE THE Uncle Ben was going to his wife's house when he met the bear. He lived on one plantation and she on another, five miles apart, and twice every day he went to the woods and Saturday he went to see her. Usually he started in the afternoon, those many years ago, but on this particular day he had been detained, and it was after nightfall before he had halfway accomplished his work for the day, that, since, knowing every foot of the path by heart, he could travel it by night as easily as by day, and he trudged along at a rapid pace thinking only of Betsy and his children. So he got to the depths of a thick piece of woods, when he heard a rustling in the undergrowth near him. "One er Squire Thompson's honeydone run off," he thought. "Well, I can't get to knot it for dis night, sunday," and he kept on his right foot, neither to the right nor to the left. The rustling continued and in a few moments, as he came to a place where the path widened a little, and the trees grew further apart, leaving no room for the bushes just in front of him but a great big black bear! Now, Uncle Ben knew a bear when he saw it but none lived in that part of the house he and he could "Brother Moses!" he said to himself and stopped short, looking at the bear. The bear looked at him, and then, growling, came toward the old man felt scared, and with good reason, he was really a large one and there was no alone in the woods, a mile from any house, with no weapon except the thick walk-staff which he held in his hand, him, he grasped his sick, and with the energy of despair held it up threateningly. He's joyful surprise, the bear at this stopped immediately, and rising on his hind legs, began to dance. Doubtless, many of you have seen a dancing-bear, but not one of you did the spectacle as did Uncle Ben. As the bear stood up in the moonlight, he saw that a rope was the around his neck, and the long end of it was the spectacle. He understood from this, together with the dancing, that the bear was a tame, or at least an educated one and he read the necessity of not being so fearful. So he and walked bodily up to the bear and looked at him. Then the bear feeling the pull came down on his forefoot, and followed him. The bear held of the slick,向前ly thankful If the house is small, it is better to do without parlor which is not often used and give one room to the little folks who will use it every day. Sunshine is as necessary for babies as for plants. A baby not given sunshine will droop and pine just as the plant does. Therefore, choose a sunny room which has windows and doors on opposite sides so that a continual abundant supply of fresh air may be obtained. The baby's room should be kept comfortably. The furniture should be larger than it is better than stoves. Oil and gas toves exhaust the air in a short time. An open grate is a great convenience both for the additional heat and because it helps to dissipate the heat. The floor should be bare so that it can be kept clean by wiping it with a damp cloth or dust-mop. A few washable rugs may be added. A rug can be provided at the windows, as they can be hindered frequently. FRESH AIR: Fresh air is essential for the healthy baby. To obtain the best air without a handle of the room. The windows may be opened from the top. They should be screened against screens and disguise him so should be provided with awnings. In the winter time, a plentiful supply of fresh air without drips may be obtained by tacking the windows on the floor or on the window screen. This also keeps out particles of coal, soot, dirt and snow. All the furnishings for the baby's room should be of the simplest kind. The furniture should be a damp cloth or laundered and kept free from dust. The equipment may include a screen to protect the baby from dust without arms for the mother, baby scales, bath tub, basket for toilet articles and plain table. A chest of drawers or b. reau is a welcome convention. The first bed may be made in an ordinary clothes basket, lined with a sheet. This can be picked up and carried easily, which is an advantage. It may be placed on the chair or a box, never on the floor. A feather pillow is not suitable for a mattress or for the baby's head. Use an oil cloth or ordinary cotton of hair, oil or cotton, protected by rubber sheeting, light oil cloth or paper blanket. Since rubber or oil cloth is not washable pad should be used directly underneath the sheet. Tablet felling makes an excellent pad for this purpose. The baby will breathe more easily and take a larger supply of air into his lungs if no pillow is used. The pillow may be placed under his head. Toward the end of the second year, a thin hair pillow may be used. The basket for the baby's toilet is the basket of the camel. An ordinary wicker basket painted white is better than a line with cotton or silk material and decorated with feathers. The supplies for this basket should be of the first quality.

When the odd companions reached this, he stop, and Uncle Ben, reasoning that if suffered to sack its hunger on persimmons it would be less likely to eat his pusses, milk and aguin, and if it would eat no more. Then they took up their line on march once more. Uncle Ben leased the aguin and aguin, until it would resist or resistance whatever. Great was the astonishment of his good wife Betsy, and their children, when at nine o'clock at night, after they given him him up for that least, he appeared with his captive. Opening the door at his knack Betey started back with both hands: "Ben Harrison!" she exclaimed: "what the ton the yer dervil you git dat bar?" Betey thanked leod. Betey, he answered: "dot do he didn't git me; I thorst he had done it when I seed him, for shuch." Then Betty escorted her missing dog to the house of the plantation. The master came out and listened to the story in astonishment, shaking hands with the owner in hourly congratulations when he wished to leave. "You're a lucky friend. Den, it more ways than one," said he. The dog belongs to her. The dog stopped in the village to-day, and will give a show to tomorrow. The dog escaped from her home, and offered five dollars reward for it. The bear was secured for the night in the county out-house, and by daylight secured a box on horseback to village with the news of its capture. Very soon its owners appeared much rejoiced to receive an in town luxury for (for test some one might have shot it, not knowing its value) under the knife.

LUDEN'S MENTHOL COUGH DROPS Making mud animals instead of mud pies was the interesting beginning of the artistic savage of Miss Savage. whose work is attracting the attention of children who will be presented at the art exhibit to be given by the Parent-Teacher Federation. Miss Savage was born in Green Cove, Florida, and a humble parentage who considered her a teacher in order to understand her genius. She would hide away for hours, reading or else fashioning little animals out of mud. PARENTS OPPOSE When Miss Savage was quite young she conceived the idea of studying in New York, but was discouraged by her parents, who thought it foolish for her to leave good chances of earning a neat sum doing weekly washing and ironing. Her father was sure that she would to the devil! she went to New York. She simply didn't know or realize that the ability to fashion models amounted to anything. WORK EXHIBITED During the county fair at Palm Beach in 1920 Miss Savage was encouraged by Lawyer George Currie, president of the fair, to exhibit her work, and gave her a space in which to present her work. The father herbed her not to so expose the family and herself to ridicule by taking that "junk" to the fair. Nothing daunted, however, Augusta secured the services of a dilapidated Ford car and carried it to the fairground where she arranged it on a ladder in a secluded corner.

GIVEN 18 MONTHS FOR SHOOTING PAIR Luther Dockery, aged 25, 1921 Biddle street, was sentenced to 18 months in the Maryland House of Correction on a charge of shooting with intent to kill Henry Demby, 1923 Henniman avenue, and Lorenzo Coleman, 1921 Henniman avenue. The assault took place yesterday in the home of Coleman, who came to Dockery in the house with his wife. According to testimony in the Northeastern Police Station, Dockery went to the home of the Coleman's during the absence of Coleman and was entertaining his wife, Pearl Coleman. While there she gave him the baby to hold. The baby began to cry and Dockery slapped the child. Mrs. Coleman drove him out of the house. The husband returned unexpectedly and Dockery also returned, and when he found the husband there an argument started. Dockery drew his gun and started to shoot. Demby had the baby on his knees, and he lifted it just in time to prevent the bullet from striking it. The bullet hit Demby in the side. Dockery then shot Coleman, who made his escape through the basement and out again over the roofs of five houses, with the police in pursuit. He was sentenced to 18 months- one year for the shooting of Coleman and six months for shooting Demby. Baltimore Woman Dies Samuel T.

SELWYN THEATRE MANAGEMENT SUED New York Patrons Fight To Recover Damages For Ex. clusion Of Three Years Ago STATE CIVIL RIGHTS LAW IS INVOKED Costs Of Suit Far In Excess Of Sum Originally Asked New York—Because they were refused admission to the Selwyn Theatre in August 1922, McKinley and Thompson are suing the management of that house, the Selwyn Operating Company. Dedays have prevented the hearing of each of them if it has been cilled. Both suits are for $1,000. First papers were served in the court action soon after the occurrence. Each case had to be made out in February of this year. Last week in part one of the Third District Municipal Court, the second case restored after six adjournments. Each suit is for $500 because of the "causing of grave humiliation" incurred when the aggrieved parties were denied admission to their color, as the papers allege. The other $500 is based on the New York Clll Rights Law, which grants to every race, creed or religion rights in any place of amusement. William R. Lassette and sundry other employees in and about the house kept them from entering the house. In August 2nd, attorneys for the plaintiff state that the costs of the two years it has traveled around the cases have amounted in the three years it has traveled more than the principal invoked.

C.—The Hay Street Methodist Church, white, where the North Carolina Conference recently convened a congregation with a remarkable work—remarkable not because it has 117 years of existence back of it. Remarkable because the spiritual foundation in which it was built in which it has grown, was laid by a Negro shoemaker. There was only one religious congregation that of the Presbyterian in Fayetteville, N.C., a single church when Henry Evans the shoemaker, who had been heeded to preach in Porssity county stopped here on his way to Charleston, S. C. then the seat of the distinguished Bishop William Carte. There is no record that he ever continued his journey. History records that he decided to stay in Fayetteville and people his age, he closed his life, not until he had started such a religious movement as it is given to few men to start. He not only held the peace of the people of the community, his fame as a preacher of wonderful power spread far and wide. The beginning of Methodism in Fayetteville is directly traceable to his work. "Heaven To "His People" He was not the least remarkable. It was his appearances with word or "his people." A testimony of a St. John, it has been called. Bishop Capers was in Fayetteville on the Sunday and during the meeting, he says. "The Lord between his life and the little place where I stood, was on the and the dying man entered a last farewell to his people. He was almost too old to support, but supporting him by the railroad church he said. ing. I have come to say my last word to you. It is this. Christ. Three times I have had my life jeopardized, preaching the broken ice on the edge of the water and swam across the Fear to preach the Gospel. Three times I have broken the ice on the edge of the water and swam across the Fear to preach the Gospel. If in my last hours I could trust Jesus like else but Christ, crucified for my salvation, all would be saved. This is a spiritual heritage which any church has proudly cherished. Read To John Wesley Henry Evans must have been one of those rare men who are often "speaking to the tongues of men" who sage "gels" gifts with a course that seems failure to carve all before it. He must have something of the stance John Wesley on him. In another day John Wesley and generation what might he not have been preached to "his people" and was run out of town to be preached and hunted by a criminal. And the white people found a change in their behavior to servants who went to hear him preaching in the wilderness they must have heard him giddily, for we later find him preaching in the wilderness. When Bishop Capers came to Fayetteville in 1810 he said that "Henry Evans was the most remark-able of Fayetteville." He said that Henry Evans was a preacher of his time and the quarter. The good man is the author of the statement hat this Nesro man is confessedly the father of the Methodist Church, white and black, in church in which Henry Evan preached and which he later returned over to the white community with his own church and more than likely was built by his friends in labor went into its construction also. At his death he continued the property adjoining the trust named by his self, but before that he carried the pastor of the church Circuit to come and take the charge of his meeting house and work already had begun into other hands.

Fifth street, on Tuesday night. In a ceremony lasting two hours Archbishop John T. McNehols performed the rite over 29 men and women who have that been inligition into church by the gmaster, the Rev. Leo M. Wailsh. His grace was assisted by the Revs. J. B. O'Rigan of St. Joseph and John O'Rigan of St. Joseph as subdeacon, Very Rev Joseph H.

After the exercise Archbishop of his church that he expected each to be an apostle and to bring hundreds of Negroes into the Catholic church they had been baptized previously in was given to some conditionally, in other churches, and the ceremony of Tuesday night was valid only if they had been baptized and also asked the colored congregation to practice congregational singing saying that he hoped Holy Trinity would lead the archdiocese in this Bishop Orders Church Abandoned Bishop Orders Church Abandoned Because the St. Philip A. M. E. Zion Church at High Ridge Park, Laurel, Md., was unable to meet its obligations, Bishop J. C. Caldwell of the Baltimore and Philadelphia Diocese of the A. M. E. Zion Conference ordered its abandonment last week. Order was given the Rev. Abigail Duffy, its pastor, who was instructed to notify the Gross-Grant Realty Company that the conference would return the church to them. The church was built last summer by the realty company and turned over to the conference to encourage the High Ridge Park development for a consideration of $8000.

Pregs The Afro-American—South's Biggest and Best Weekly CHURCH HASN'T MADE PROGRESS IT SHOULD Conquest Of Race Prejudice Is Problem Facing Country Says Bishop Thirkield BLAME LAID AT DOOR OF COUNTRY'S CHURCHES Other Professions Cooperate Denominations Still Fight Each Other CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — The Church hasn't made the progress it should in the conquest of race prejudice, according to Bishop W. P. Thirkield (1904) of the Methodist Episcopal Church, speaking at the Pastors' Association in the Y. M.C. A. Monday morning. Bishop Thirkield said, in part: "Our love for Christ has not made the progress it should in demanding humanity, justice and sympathy for all men. How often we hear the terms, 'sheeney, greaser, nigger' and erroneously a whole race because of the coarse or objectionable qualities of certain members. This is utterly unChristian. The very attitude toward the Jew, for example, is the tragedy and reproach of Christian history. "Such names are apt to have behind them an attitude of contempt and hate that is dangerous. It is hard to find a fitted film with the stone held for hurling in the hour of crisis. If not curbed we shall see, as in the past, in California toward the Japanese, in Omaha toward the Greek and in Mississippi and Illinois toward the Negro, the demon spirit of Russia that deprives out the human face with an unprecedented conningling of the races, such an attitude is full of peril. "One of our first problems is the conquest of race prejudice. In this is involved not merely the religious progress, but true civilization. You can never reach and Christianize peoples whom you patronize or despise in inherently and forever against or nationality. Red, yellow, black or brown skins are the gifts of God as well as white skins. Human hearts beat behind the mall and suffer and struggle and bleed and aspire. "Our Anglo-Saxon civilization is gathering up in its sweep and current men of all races. Only a spirit of broad sympathy and generous cooperation will reduce the race of our blood and reduce the race of feudal antedicts and rivalries into a civilization that is genuinely tolerant, co-operative, Christian. SOCIAL EQUALITY. "Such a fear is groundless, because there is no such thing as social equality. There is social privilege and civil right, but no such thing as social right. Every man is lord of his own castle and his personal sacred agreement. Governor this whole business in the following words: 'Social equality is a delusion set up by the demagogues incivic contentions to meet his ambition for place and personal benefit paraded as the devil for the mischief of the influences against the Kingdom of God. What men want is not equality, but sympathy, civic justice and human rights. "Preeachers are the leaders of moral forces in all races. Let there be an organization, as best manly and as ad-hoc as Christ, in every city, to membership, which representatives of all churches an dall religious and reform movements of every religion and race shall be eligible. and here let us note the manly larger spirit of cohesion between scientists and physicians of various races, in work for human welfare, than there has been between ministers of various races and races for the larger and social betterment of peoples. That is science has done what religion has tried to do." Y. M. C. A. Notes The Ever Read Social Club gave a pink tea at the Branch Friday evening. December 18th Haiti.

BISHOP HURST HOME FROM FLORIDA Real Estate Boom There Causes Migration From Other States RACE WORKERS PROFIT FROM NEW INDUSTRIES Baltimore Not Working Collectively For Progress As Other Cities Looking the picture of health, Bishop and Mrs. John Hurst arrived in the city Christmas, from Poughkeepsie, the distinguished churchman spent a month in his diocese in the interest of his church work. On their way up they were joined in Washington by their son and daughter-in-law, Dr. and Mrs. E. P. Hurst, and grandson, who spent several days at the beautiful Hurst Though not fully recovered from the fatigue of the journey, the good Bishop was all alight with animation by a representative of the APRO-AMERICAN. Whatever I say about Florida is copyrighted from him, said he is up from time to time a bushel of letters that had accumulated during his absence. "Yes, we held two conferences during our stay. The Florida Conference was held at Monticello, Jefferson county and the West Florida Conference, at Panama City, both of which were well attended and reported large numbers of attendees. You know just now we are stressing what is called the Seminary Fund, an offered used for the new Seminary building at Edward University, which is being regarded as one of the best schools in the country. It has an enrollment of 300 and a faculty of 35, among which are represented the leading colleges and universities "Speaking of educational conditions in the boom state generally, the University of Michigan has made an increased appropriation to the A. and M. College at Tallahassee, but the county public school has not made an additional than a collection of false pretenses." Florida Boom Asked if the Florida boom is having any appreciable effect upon the colored group the Bishop's countenance brightened; "You know down in Florida many colored workstores are artisans of a very high grade. These men are in great demand and are difficult to obtain at very high wages. Better still, they are for the most part exceptionally thrifty. The boom which the State Department is effecting of checking the migration of colored people from Florida, but there is a decided influx of them from Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. Virginia their sudden coming in large numbers creates problems, chief among which is that of sanitation. Houses are not being so well maintained, a score hudded in one small home. For example, Miami has accommodations for some 15000 people while there are fully a hundred thousand in the same is true of West Palm Beach and other large centers. The sanitation problems are being attacked by these municipalities, but it must be years before the situation is finally Prison Camps Speaking of whipping in the prison camps, which was recently abolished by an act of the State Legislature, we know that the inmates was considerable agitation in certain counties to have the practice restored, but he was of the opinion that outside sentiment would continue strong enough to prevent its resurgence. What about race relations was next asked. "They are certainly worse than here. Business relations are, if anything, better. In the large cities, women may not try on any article of wearing apparel which they may wish to purchase. "But," the lishop added with a twinkle in his eye, "they have splenid stores of their own fully capable of rendering good service, and this may have a good deal to do with the kind of treat they need from their companies and financial institutions are able to take care of the major part of race mortgages, which not only sets their money working around them, but also gives their clear of money sharks with their exhertribut rates of interest." Concluding, the Bishop declared he always felt ashamed when he came home and observed that here our group is not working collectively, but that we are expressed himself as most willing to be a generous contributor to a fund that would employ a trained observer to study our conditions here in comparison with other cities having large colored populations so then we would just what is needed and thus be in a position set our house in order. 1926 SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON COMMENTARY Sunday school workers are being supplied with the Sunday School Lesson Book, the Baptist Publishing Board's Point at Nashville, Tenn.
