TUSKEGEE AND HAMPTON RAISE $7,000,000 Big Endowment Fund Raised Last Year From 10,000 Subscribers "KODAK" EASTMAN GAVE $2,000,000 Rockefeller And General Education Board Each Added Million New York City—The $7,000,000 endowment fund to be divided equally between Tuskegee and Hampton Institute has been raised according to Clarence H. Kelsey, white, chairman of the committee in charge of the committee at 5 Maiden Lane. Of this amount the largest individual contribution was from George K. Eastman, white, of Rochester, N. Y. Robb king, Mr. Eastman offered $2,000,000 provided the two schools raised $5,000,000 in cash and subscriptions. The goal was reach- other large contributors include the General Education Board and John D. Rockefeller. Each gave $1,000,000 of the two schools subscribed to $200,000. Five individuals gave sums of $150,000. According to Mr. Raskey, the endowment was underlined by these schools in order that their field of usefulness might be extended and their principals, Dr. Gregg and Dr. Moton, spared more time for necessary administrative work. Both Dr. Moton and President Gregg worked unusually hard this winter to assist the endowment contests in putting together Dr. Moton's endowment and two months ago was laid up with illness and afterward removed to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore where he is present. The endowment drive started at Tuskegee Institute already had an endowment of $2,000,000.

Ku Klux Klan Now With Hampton Hampton, Va.—Further investigation shows that there is absolutely no foundation for the rumors that the Hampton Institute has raked attack on Hampton Institute. To the contrary it is understood that the Klu Klux Klan is opposed to the Anglo-Saxon League in the United States to have special seats reserved for whites in public exercises at Hampton Institute chapel. This is My House and My Home Mine! There's a thrill in home ownership. We have ancestors claimed a rocky recess as theirs. Nowadays some people have everything in common.

Every right-thinking man desires to look at an attractive house and yard and say "I am from the Real Estate" columns. They contain what you want at a real estate investigation will prove it.

Taylor, who died recently had the distinction of being the only colored man in the city in 1904 he was dominated by the National Liberty Party; who conducted a nation-wide SUPREME COURT IN MICHIGAN HITS JIM CROW Restrictions Against Sale Of Property On Ground Of Color, Invalid QUESTION OF LIVING IN IT NOT PASSED ON Victory In Two Courts Mustually Settles Matters For All Time There Lansing, Mich., (Special) —The Michigan Supreme Court has handed down the important and far-reaching opinion that restrictions made against the sale of property to Negroes on account of color were invalid. This decision is particularly important in view of the widespread activities on the part of whites to exclude Negroes from so-called public lands by inserting clauses in contracts forbidding the sale of the property to anyone not of the Caucasian race. By this decree on the colored citizens of Michigan and the Negroes, it is pointed out that the decision does not touch upon the occupancy of premises on which restrictions have been placed, which has many cases throughout the country. CONTRACTS The suit in question was brought by Porter and Wyman, white, Muskegon real estate manager, against Wilson, Wilson Robinson colored, who purchased the property involved. Porter and Wyman had sold the lot to a Louis Parent, white, who in court in both cases specified that the property should not be sold to Negroes upon penalty of the lots and all improvements reverting to the real estate property to Robinson, Porter and Wyman immediately brought suit in the Circuit Court and a verdict was given in favor of the defendants. This decision was affirmed by the State Supreme Court, the appeal of the plaintiff, OPINION. Justice Fellows, in writing his opinion, says, "We must bear in mind that we are not dealing with a restraint on the use of the premises unless unreasonable, have quite uniformly been upheld. Before the sale of intoxicating liquor was prohibited this court and practically every court restraints of the use of premises for its manufacture or sale. Such a restraint upon the USE was uniformly upheld, but would a restraint on SALE of the premises be valid? The sale of intoxicating liquors elsewhere be valid? I think not."

Jeremiah purchased one hundred ten dollars worth of tickets to insure against segregation but autolimitation is so large that it little effect in preventing the grouping of colored persons. The whites mainly occupied the center aisles of the orchestra with the colored on the right and left. There were few colored scattered through-out. Colored newspapers, Neval H.

If he finds that the gallery or the balcony has been set aside for Negroes, as parishals and outcasts, what will he do? The answer is the Ballie Q. Brown, and other Negro singers of the District of Columbia did last year? Or will he flamet and repudiate the anti-segregation drive now being held in Washington on city streets. He has a precedent of recent data here, aside from colored precedents in the case of Challapin, who refused to appear at the academy, but not such as to suit his temperament. If Hayes can accommodate his temperament to singing to a box office that sends Negroes up in the lott, the question arises, is Hayes the Spinning National Association for the Advancement of HOWARD FUNERAL ONE MILE LONG Washington, D.

The church accommodated 1,500 persons who stood in every nook and corner to hear the eulogies of their friend who had been pastor for 30 years there. The Rev. W. D. Grisvis presided. Other eulogists included the Rev. W. L. Washington, the Rev. W. J. Graham, of Philadelphia, the Rev. J. Loving and the Rev. Walter H. used to demand its return.

They were, "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," "Go Down Moses," and "Cruelfixion." Hayes To Spingarn Medal Certainly if Hayes appears on the program he will have put colored Washingtonians sixty years back in school for segregation. If Hayes appears on the program at the auditorium which is "taku" as war as Negroes are contended, he will be in months, then we rise to remark, and our language is plain, that Ernest Just, James Weldon Johnson, W. E. B. DuBois and all other Negroes who model, should demand that Hayes be called on to return the medal, or they themselves should return their to the association. In doing where Negroes are segregated will he so outrage as should compel Negro restaurants and Y. W. C. A. Cafeterias to eat. In doing where Negroes are segregated will he so outrage as should compel Negro restaurants and Y. W. C. A. Cafeterias to eat. As we see it, Hayes should be compelled to eat in Mrs. Wilson-Greene's kitchen, or in Oliver Kruger's garage, if he shuts before any auditorium or office directs Negroes to the gallery. Mme.

Accused Of Lynching Prisoner Just Acquitted By Clarksdale Court SHERIFF FINED $500 BUT KEEPS HIS JOB Clarksdale, Miss. —Tom Nicholas, J. T. Trayham, H. S. Blockley and G. O. Kane all white, faced the court Wednesday charged with murder. They constitute the "mob" which took Lindsey Coleman away from the office of deputies two weeks ago after Coleman had been freed of the charge of the murder of Grover C. Nicholas, white, on the night of October 15th. Tom Nicholas is the brother of the murdered and the alleged offender of the mob. Arraignment in court Wednesday followed the secret indictment by the Grand Jury last week and an attempt of lawyers to find flaws in the indictment and secure freedom of the prisoners. First, they offered something that seldom occurs in criminal court proceedings. They were a grand jury. Summed up the defense charged the entire special session of court, the empanelling of the jurors were drawn, the judge's charge to the jury and the indictments returned, and the objections unfolded in law. That challenge alone wasted an entire day in hearing of witnesses. In the end it was overruled. Fight against the indictment included the indictment being found guilty, appeal will be made to the state supreme court. Among the 17 points introduced by counsel of the indictment attempt were that the indictments were illegally drawn were the following: That the special term of court was not properly called, that due jury alleged, given that the grand jury alleged to have been empanelled at the beginning of the special term was not properly drawn and that the jury boxes were not properly "That the crime of mobbing Lindsey Coleman was so atrocious and terrible that the entire state of Mississippi was shocked and outraged that the county of Coleman County itself were censured as well as other officers of the court for the allowance of the lynching of Coleman so that great pressure was exerted upon the court and its offence. The court also issued a duly authority of the law reconvened the special term of court and under stress of pressure called together the grand jury which had been therefore discharged by authority of law discharged the foreman of the grand jury to whom there could have been no objection and placed in his stead J. H. Johnson. That J. H. Johnson was greatly predicated against the defendants; that just before his appointment as foreman, in heated terms he had announced that he would like to be foreman of the grand jury, and that he came to the courthouse to be acquitted of becoming foreman and with the express determination to indict the defendants. Judge Alcorn overruled all of these allegations and ordered the trial to Sheriff Fined Sheriff W. F. Glass, who with three deputies permitted the mob to take Coleman away and lynch him, faced the court last week. If these four men should "murder" the man whom it was not a very powerful mob. Only one of them looked as though he might have been powerful enough to have given battle to the, sheriff and his three deputies. But the other three, the dumintive and slender in statue, tall heavy sheriff Glass probably could have knocked over with a blow of his powerful arm. Tryham who is over 70 years old was the sheriff under $50,000 bond and physical condition. The charge of failure to perform his duty is still pending against him, however, of failing to return an offender because one of the four prisoners induced for the murder of Coleman was found dead in his cell. Glass maintained that the man killed himself and killed himself. Investigation showed that deputies had put him through such a violent third degree that these injuries caused his death. Judge Alcorn and glass $500, the man guilty but allowed him to keen his job. Jury, Suh? What Kind? Louisville, Ky.—Judge R. E.

DURKEE REPORTED IN BROOKLYN, N. Y. SEEKING CALL TO BEECHER PULPIT The onces are propitious. Dr. Durkee, aided and abetted by Dean Brown, President of the Howard University School of Law, joins He is camping at the gate of the fashionable Beecher Church of Brooklyn. N. Y. awaiting the call. This explains his absence from the church's services. He was on the program to read a sentence, but was in Brooklyn at the time. Ordinarily we would complain of such treatment, but no one complains of grudge Dr. Durkee any absence which may spell his ultimate removal from Howard University. Preaching The writer sincerely hopes that the trustees of the Brooklyn church the reopened his medical publications to transport him from his present engagement. Pathetic failure in educational administration does not by any means imply that the patient is Dr. Durkee's vocation. He never should have strayed so far from his calling. Not even the big ammunition should have backpedged him from his real profession. Hectic Career It is to be hoped that the trustees of the Brooklyn church have not been keeping in touch with Dr. Durand's hectic career at Howard University. Possibly, his catastrophe will not influence them in any way. He is a professor at an understanding Negro scholar is "pup" and the barring of Negro aspirants from the benefits of an elecourtary training are very likely to pass unnoticed in the Christian church of the twentieth century. Pup Episode At the hearing before the Howard Trustees, Dr. Durkee gave the following version of the "pup" episode: "You will understand, gentlemen, only people were present and only two people remained after the close, after the men left, he sat across my table and we were talking about the matter. He was saying that he felt that he condemnations concerning Bruce, I said, or my contention was, as Dean of Howard University he had, no right in this city to use his title as Continued on Galley 4 with the doctors to interact with the doctors of the city. And the president rememberes that he, too said to Dean Miller, that it does not seem to the president of Howard University that he should continue to speak of Mr. Bruce in a form that would not get the facts; that if he has not don't persist in talking about it. Cuss Word Maybe "Dean Miller arose and over the table shook his doubled list and said, 'I have a notion to smash your face.' The president of the University came out of his chair. He said, 'You—the word he wanted to use never left his lips, and it never will; but what he did say was, 'You pup.' That is the only word he used when the men were present. I went around my chair and as I said that word I said, 'There is the door, you go.' My eyes were splitting fire." "One day in chapel when this continued fracass was being carried forward by the students, they said 'Dr. Durkee, did you ever call Dean Miller a dirty contemptible puppy?' That was four or five months afterwards. The president answered the question in only a few words. Amsterdam News "Now last year in the AMSTERDAM NEWS there was printed across the front of the paper that Dr. Sinclair said that Dr. Durkee called Dupuy. "The president answered it, and it were to print." The Other Side Dean Miller's statements was as follows: "I stated that I do not recall just the words, the facts a couple of times, but I have been denouncing me as being unworthy and appearing for the university in matters in which I have no business. I did not know what all the talk was about and all that I heard was that I should president—and I mean it now: I don't fear a bit—that if anybody would dare to interfere with my personal right to education in the American education in the discretion of public school matters, I should feel like smashing him in the face. I felt that way then, and I feel that way now." Chairman Rules The chairman ruled that since the matter had been patched up between the two men, there was nothing more to it. In other words, if two men had been patched up and patch up matters before a beated bluecoat puts in his appearance, the ends of justice are satisfied. Throughout the hearing, Dean Brown rulings were more obliquely compared to a collateral theologian, than with the wisdom of a person of average legal intelligence. When he asked Dean Holmes if he endorsed the administration of Dr. Durkee, requiring the mayor or yes or no, Dean Holmes replied: Dean Holmes "You say this is to be an answer without any discussion. I do not feel it is the right question. I do not think it a fair question to an employee, an officer of the university working under President Durkee. If we say 'Yes,' that is what you expect us to say. If we say, 'No,' it is not confidential, even though I did not say it in his presence; you can believe me or not." Dean Brown: "You don't need to answer: we just asked each one who felt willing." Dean Holmes: "For what reason I doubt whether you can determine whether they are for or against." Dean Brown: "Have you any objection to stating your reasons why he is not satisfactory?" Dean Holmes: "I did not say he was not satisfactory." A Member of the Board: "Have you ever been standing any reasons to be bad against him?" Not To Answer Dean Brown: "He prefers not to answer." Dean Holmes: "If you want to set The Afro-American—South's Biggest and Best Weekly an absolute statement, let every en- velope and hand it to you. Dean Brown: "I didn't quite get that." Dean Holmes: Repeats, adding "I don't signature." Member of t he Board: "That would not be fair." Dean Holmes: "It is very difficult, facing people who hire you, to say" Dean Brown: "We never get much out of an anonymous letter from anybody." Sealed Ballots Of course, Donn Holmes suggestion was both practical and logical. He advised that a sealed ballot without signature be handed to Danny Brown by both professors. He wrote, "If they had professors present, that number of ballots should be accounted for. There could be no fraud practiced, and the truth could be ascertained without subsequent embarrassment to the professors. There could be n honest and valid objection to this plan. Ignorance At Yale Dean Brown's allusion to such ballots as "anonymous" was a manifestation of ignorance hardly to be expected of democracy rests upon the anonymity of the electorate. If Dean Brown is in the habit of signing his name to his ballots as he casts them, he has a degree of humor he perhaps enjoys a unique distinction; for it is customary to vote anonymously. Voter absentees had been in quest of the truth, they would have insisted upon such ballots. Instead, they summoned about fifty-three teachers without previous notice and put the question to them. They responded to Dr. Durkee's Answer yes or no. They were expected to declare most emphatically that they were not Dean Holmes said, they were expected to answer thus. Gratifying Gratifying It is most gratifying that so many of the outstanding professors sacrificed their career to tell the truth about the issues. The many sunday are still reaching the writer. If by some unforeseen chance, Dr. Durkee remains at Howell University, he will never perfect persecution; but the self-respecting colored people of America are with these men and women, and re-enforcements have come to the movement to save Howard University. Dean Brown's tactics served to get Dr. Durkee's exoneration. Such a case would not have occurred so our readers did not even chalkulate. The next logical step is Dr. Durkee's resignation, and Dean Brown's influence in helping to secure the Brooklyn pollit for his good friend. Deadweight Howard University, faculty, students and alumni, will be pleased to bequeath this $10,000 dead weight of the professor Prof. Tunneln, in his testimony, discovered aristocratic germs in Dr. Durker's makeup; so this new field of study will be applauded to Prof. Tunneln's autocratic president, plutocteric president. Free Baptist Dr. Durks has been an ordained minister since 1858. He started his career in the Free Baptist Church of Auburn, Maine. Later, he accepted the pastorate of the First Free Baptist Church of Auburn, Michigan, plausible. During these years, he became president of the Boston Christian Endeavor Union, a member of both the National and International Conference of Christian Societies of Chicago, Underdecker, who president of the Evangelical Alliance of Boston, vice president of the Florence Crittenden League, of Compassion, preacher for the Boston Y. M. C. A., and presacher for the New England School of Medicine in home on East Newton Street, Boston Voice Built Up After five years of hard work in voice building, he was graduated from the Curry School of Expression, the very same institution that inspired the initial article of this series on "Durkeism and Howard University," when he became its president last year and perpetuated the policy of barring colored students. Denomination In 1909, Dr. Durkee was called as pastor of the South Congregational Church of Campello, Mass., a suburb of Brockton, the famous shoe store. He changed from the Baptist to the Congregational faith is none of the writer's business. After all, what boots is it what a man's denomination is? If the believer Brotherhood of Man, pays his bills and lets good overcome the wrong? The point is that until the Howard trustees interrupted his career, Dr. Durkee was making a notable question concerning his success in his chosen profession. Unfortunately, he strayed from his profession, and he has paid heavily for his mistake. He knows now better than the university administration is not his field. Jump Back Honey If the truth were really known, Dr. Durkee is eager to jump back into his real profession as the Howard Alumni are to have him jump from Boston to Brooklyn, the best sight in Washington, for Dr. Durkee, will be a train to Brooklyn. He must be all but worn out, but our duty can no longer until after we read his course. There is genuine pathos in Dr. Durkee's case. Ordained as a Christian minister and successful as a leader of Christian organizations and a leader of the church, he wicked little game of running a great university by political practices. He knew nothing of politics; had no occasion to "play the game", and consequently fell the easy prey of grandmasters of the art or science. Vision If he has any vision left, he must grasp it, and he has manhunched from Howard University men who were his best friends because they could see his errors and were frank enough to advise him, whereas he has permitted those to remain who were not so confident in him but at the same time leading him to his inevitable disaster. A true clergyman never makes a successful politician, and a real politician never makes a successful clergyman. It will be a big victory for the church if it reclaims this discipline who has wandered so far from his calling. Once he is restorative he will be able to help that he willnever again be tempted into the field of education, unless he prepares himself for the job. Resign Should the Brooklyn church fall to relieve the plight of Dr. Durkee, he should have sacrificed to ready he has taken too much punishment and sacrificed too much pride. He has lost his faculty, students, and alumni. Professors who ought to him have missed all his missed Students have resumes their writing of resolutions, which have always proved to be the fore-runners of a strike. Alumni through the university have demanded his resignation. 15 Associations Act Once the opinion prevailed that a handful of Washington alumni were alone fighting Dr. Durkez; but now truth is in the hands of a Association has requested Dr. Durkez's removal. The following locals have made a similar request: Providence, New York City; Dartmouth, Boston, Connecticut; Pittsburgh, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Columbus, Gary, Chicago, and Washington. Wherever there are Howard Alumni in any appreciable numbers, resolutions have been given to request Dr. Durkez's retirement. At Fisk and Lincoln conditions have arisen to make the alumni demand the resignation of the president, in order that the alumni be almost immediate. When the alumni demand the resignation of their university president, there is no other choice in the matter. The alumni must be heard. Polly Ticks Howard University would have taken steps similar to those taken by Fisk and Lincoln, if it had been a purely educational institution. Dr. Durkez's administration has made it political to the core, so it is natural that much harder to dislodge Dr. Durkez. At Howard, a political machine second only to Tanamany has been built. The trustees represent Dr. Dutkes' selected other peers, or through a well-rounded political machine. The retirement of Judge Peelle from the presidency of the Board of Trustees and the election of Dean Brown, Dr. Dutkes' beloved friend, the board to that position, gives some idea of how the machine works. Colored members who have been effected in recent years are closely allied in fraternal organizations or in local organizations. The men who run Howard, whether as trustees or just plain politicians, also try to control other organizations. They are virtually a symbole with ambitions that must be destroyed. N. A. A. C. P.

Durkean policies is that this same crowd has been influential enough to stifle utterance at headquarters, but it has lost prestige in Washington because it has made a big noise over segregation while it has winked at Durkeanism. It has made questionable policies to fight race reckardation. No one expected the order to become involved in any of the personal features of this Howard brawl but when the information was a broad that Dr. Durkee had accepted the presidency of a school that refused admission to colored candidates, we thought it about time to have a word from the N. A. A. C. P. I such a matter does not fall within the region of activity of such a race Concluded on Galley 6 ..... advancement order, the society ought to get a new name. Condemnation Dr. Durkee, the president of a colored university, was at the same time president of a school barring Negro applicants, and not one word of condemnation has come from the order that believes in an equal opportunity for all regardless of color. Nothing but vicious politics could keep the society out of such a matter. All of this indicates why Howard is having so much more trouble than Fisk or Lincoln in accomplishing the same purpose. Howard is run on politics and honorary degrees, and such a combination is hard to smash; but the end is in sight. Fraternal organizations, social clubs, and the like should furnish sufficient outlet for the political passions of embryonic politicians. Churches and universities might well be exempted from the grasp of designing demagogues. Poor Howard has been ensnared. Cheap politics brought to the presidency of Howard University a glaring misfit who has not one qualification for his position, that any trustee of Howard University can defend. Cheap political maneuvres have kept this misfit at the head of this institution which he has served by giving his time to the Curry School of Expression and by the editing of an encyclopedia of Negro greatness Cheap political practices have manipulated the appointment of teachers and also the dislodgement of If Congress will only break up that oligarchy at Howard University, the future of Howard will be freed from politics. Even when Dr. Durkee resigns, the condition can not be abated. The students are to elect his successor. They have already demonstrated that they know absolutely nothing about education. Dr. Durkee disqualifies them for making another selection. We hear, by the way, that two of their own candidates, but we so seriously doubt it.

Pullman porters. Totten and A.

They found porters so intimidated by Pullman Company propaganda that none would remain in the meeting a moment after they ended. Finally they met four one morning by a man who wanted to join the union. Before eight that morning 6 other porters had followed. Omaha proved unexpectedly cordial with and gave them large enthusiastic meetings with many members joining the union. But Chicago, the home of the Pullman Company, showed every Negro newspaper tied up against the union by the company or silent to organization appeals.

C., (P. N. S.)—The difficulties which confront a girl who may happen to contract marriage with a Chinaman, Hindu, Moslem or African Negro are illuminatingly set forth in a memorandum issued by a British colonial office in view of recent marriages of English girls into the vaces indicated. Marriage of a British girl to a Chinese man results in the loss of her British nationality thereby, and the fact that her marriage is valid is British law would not permit her in China to a treaty conform with the rules applicable in Christian countries in regard to marriage. In the case of such a marriage there can be no actual warranty that if the husband returns to China he may not, in accordance with the laws of himself other wives in addition to the first, or even that he may not have already entered into marriage relationships in China. The marriage of a woman of British nationality to a woman of Chinese nationality, facing the Chinese authorities with a Hindu, even in a case when it is valid in all respects in this country, is not necessary to India he is subject to what is when the husband returns to India, known as his "personal law," and not requires the marriage at all. In the case of a Mohammedan, although marriages between Christian women and Moslems are recognized as valid by Mohammedan law, through might place the parties in a position of some difficulty in a Mohammedan country. Under the Mohammedan law, a Christian may take other wives in addition to the first, without consulting his first wife, whether a Christian or otherwise. Where a marriage relationship between Mohammedan law will recognize, a Mohammedan husband may, under Mohammedan law, divorce his wife at will without any legal formality beyond that of marriage, the matriar or marriage settlement, agreed upon; while should is return to his own country leaving his Christian wife here, the fact of his marriage might be equivalent to divorce under Mohammedan law. -African Negroes are in many cases in their own countries subject, in certain particulars to native law which may permit of polygamy.

The State has sufficient pressure to write a new chapter in Mississippi history. You may be quite sure that we will keep as much pressure on the situation as possible." The Governor of Mississippi has very little authority. In fact, none, except the power to call out the military, the Bar Association, and other influences of Mississippi will ask the legislature at its opening session to empower the Governor to remove sheriffs, and to make other bring real pressure on the local community. I think such legislation has a good chance of passing. A campaign of education will go on in Mississippi.

Birmingham and then here. down life in the Baltimore Miller, owner of "Shuffle Along Liza." hadn't been paying off for the past three months, offering as his excuse, the enormous railroad fares and playing to 20 cents houses. Well of course that not our fault. Gentry, he could have told us that he could only pay out expense money, but instead, he was last minute giving us that and upon more than one occasion he cursed us out, girls and all, sparing no words. Fay Chapman, one of the girls. I introduced you to in Nashville got tired of his doings and quit in Chattanooga. The corner player, Piggy Starks, quit and the trombone player quit also. Refused Back Pay "I decided to wait till I got here to quit. I strained myself doing knee in, Birmingham, but paid no attention to it. And we opened here on the 2nd of July, Lyric Theatre. I played Monday and Tuesday, there I payed because I was forced to bed. Miller was dirty enough to pay me only for the two days I played here and refused to give me any of my back pay. Miller's advance man, Mr. M. Arnold, can curry up there. Miller. Miller sent him to Louisville to get no back pay or expense money. Well Arnold was stranded and pawned every thing and came here and stopped the show by moving out of town. But they made some agreement that Miller paid him part of what he owed him and promised to haire a haired mother, who he is taking with him to send the rest the following week, but he lied for nothing came.

Churchman Will Meet Harry Greb for World Title On February 26 CHAMPION SAYS TIGER IS HARDEST HITTER Two Met Before In Ohio, But The Judges Pulled Off One Of Those "Raw Ones" New York — Deacon Tiger Flowers, who is not a deacon but a steward, in the Methodist will get his big job on ab- Church, Brunswick, Ga. January 28 when he meets Harry Greb, white, in a 15-round title bout in Madison, Squire Garden for the middleweight champion. Walk Miller, the Tiger's manager, says his master's degree given the champion a beating when he cuffed him around out in Ohio some time ago, but the judges pulled off one of those "raw decisions" that was rendered in the Flowers-Mectiga fight, three Flowers was recognized as the official challenger for the title bout by the New York Boxing Commission after he had posed for the bout. He met other requirements for the bout. The champion was ordered to meet Flowers or be barred from boxing in States coming under the jurisdiction of the New York State Board. GRER EXPECTS $60,000. Greb said he expected $60,000 for the match and started training at once. The champion was the toughest battles of my career with Tiger Flowers. I have met him once before in no-decision bout and I found him the hardest to beat. "I never faced." Greb will engage in four bouts before meeting the Southerner. Unlike most fighters, he pays little attention to strict training but keeps in condition by contact with the enemy. By now, RAINBOW. For Steward Tiger Flowers, this bout will mean the end of a long quest. Flowers has been fighting regularly for the past two years and broke in headlines in 1924. In December he stopped Jimmie Johnson in three rounds, a thing that had never been done before. Later Flowers suffered two backouts a the hands of Jack Crawford that he began a new climb to the top. Just how successful he has been in his climb is demonstrated by the fact that he is to get the chance to anexe the world middleweight crown. In speaking of the Tiger, Sil Merdave is reuced to give credit to the ring than many of his white-knitted associates. Flowers fights cleanly and observes ring ethics. In a recent bout with Frank Moody, he opened the ring to make the eye a target in the other rounds. The fans applauded this sportsmanship. Moore Determined To Make Ne wMark New York—Ono P. S.

The Flashes have games scheduled with the Baltimore Athletics and the Marathon Ohio. The Buccaneers, formerly the Atlantic City Big Four, will be the attraction at Waltz Dream on Friday, January 15. Dixie Kid Is In Jeanette's Stable Dixie Kid, trainer of fighters, and who was the main factor in putting George Chaney in condition to knock out 49 men, is now in Hoboken, N. J., working in the stable Jeanette, before light training. The Kid's letter follows: "What a happy time I am having and such good news to tell you and as this is the holiday season I can't find a better time to spend my time than to write to you. "I am with Jeanette, we have some fine fighters in our stable. Remember me to all the guys as I am going to turn out some great fighters this year and will bring them thru Baltimore." I was over to see Tiger Flowers and Mike-MoTigue fight-and believe me. Flowers won every round except one. Flowers is a great fighter. I have a flyweight by the name of Do-Do Jackson, welching 110 pounds, who will fight on January 11. He is going to be a great fighter. "I was in New York Tuesday and Norfolk has started training. The famous Keed is looking fine. Jeanette has one of the finest gymnasiums in the country and we have a great basketball tea m here. We are going to fire some big guns this year." "My ambition is to turn out a good boy that will make a name in the boxing world. I am now in position to do this and have the chance I have to be after for years. Tell the boys they can reach me at 536 Summit avenue, West Hoboken, N. J., in care of Joe Jeanette."

Mr. Logan's letter follows: "The fraternity spirit was not the main factor in causing Jimmy Shields to be put off the team, but it was the fraternity spirit which caused the members of his fraternity and their sympathizers to quit when he was put off the team." players quit because Shields were in turn in bib uniform.

BASKETBALL The Treat of the Season LN UNIVE FIVE --- Collegiate Char teaylor Pin Day Dick Whitting Siki Reached Pugilistic Fame After Bout With Carpentier When Carpenter stopped into the ring at the Buffalo Velodrome outside Paris that day 50,000 persons roared madly, "Georges!" Siki the Senegalese looked about him like a trapped beast. Plainly they were howling for his blood. Instead of amusement there was panic in his eyes, but there was no place for him to go. The bell rang. The fight began. Sikh, ugly and awkward, jumped and dodged about the ring. He seemed to be running away from the audience, but called confidently at the audience and fumed into the cameras as much as possible for two rounds, can be mistaken for a coach, could be his manager. In the third round Georges Carpenter apparently decided to finish Sikh. The terrible right landed. Sikh went down on one knee. But he got up and took the right hand. He looked bewildered. He was finding that terrible right of Georges Carpenter had not hurt him so much. He looked back to right back in his accustomed style. He walked through his opponent's blows and delivered his own like a windmill. By the fifth round he was battering and knocking back his excitement. In the sixth round he knocked him out. The crowd roared for a while. It became his voice by a foul. The unearth grow. It was plain the crowd was through with Georges Carpenter and that Sengalese was tired. He waited almost an hour of deliberation, ratified the will of the crowd and called Sikh the winner. Frenchmen struggled for the honor of helping to carry him into the arena. BY HUGH O'CONNOR In The New York World Continued From Last Week HERO OF ROULEYARDS Battling Sikh, the Senegalese, was the hero of the Paris boulevards thereafter. Frenchwomen, whose color was black, threw kisses at the wild fence and giggled delightedly when the champion returned the gesture. Siki ordered clothes of such wild color that he cut that they were starting, even among the French. He led a lion cub on a leash and bought it drinks in the cafe, finally and touched Dutch girl Fanny and touched Holland receiving ovations with her. In playful moods he buffed waiters and broke up the fire he honored with his presence. One day he to see a fashionable foot doctor on the Rue de la Paix and hoisted his leg onto a commanding gesture: "En Sikh!" The doctor disdainfully explained he did not tend black feet, whereupon Sikh entered the street. Then he pulled down the corrugated iron shutters which close all French shops at night and marched away chanting, "Place CARPENTIER BOUT FRAMED." In an expansive moment Siki declared the famous bont with Goozes Carpentier had been arranged really Sikir was to let Georgette beat him to please the crowd and give the movies the film they wanted. According to Sikir the director for Carpenter to win the shouting of the crowd was too much for Sikir. He decided he was going to win. "Georgetes say lie down," Sikir wrote. "He was the director. The story created a sensation. It was investigated by the sporting authorities of France. Lip readers were employed to read the faces of Georgetes and Sikir as recorded by the movies. They closed. Eventually the French authorities declared Sikir's story must be false. After that the French Magistrates had threatened to chin him with a fall term the next time he was arrested and the newspapers began to call him a public nuisance. The British Home Office refused him permission to come to England and they considered him a dangerous character. (Continued Next Week.)

C BY DEHART HUBBARD World's Champion Broadjumper (In Chicago Daily News) At the start of the 1924 season I determined upon a policy of slow conditioning so I wouldn't go stale before the Olympic games. By this time I had been training for collegiate athletics and had a reputation to uphold. It is hard to uphold a reputation. People expect lots of you and you have to be very good. I determined to watch my step at all times. My first meet was the Illinois indoor relay. I met the great Charles W. Hodgson and I were far above the rest of the field, and the race was between us. I go off to one of my best starts and he hits me. I go on to him on my heels. At the second barrier I was still ahead, but just as we went over the last hurdle he shot by me and won by a foot. Afterwards I met one of his hardest races. In that meet I made a new indoor broad jump record with a leap of 24 feet 7 inches. I have never known of a better jump At the Ohio relay that year I won the hop-step-and-jump on the program I gave an exhibition. It was my intention to jump about three feet, jump about three feet, crowd let out a big yell, and I knew it was a good one. Again, I was made happy and then disappointed. The jump was measured at 25 feet 4½ inches and announced that the judges got through measuring it it shrunk to 25 feet 2½ inches and there it stayed. So I had not made a record after all. Goes In For Sprinting. It was that my coach decided that I should take up sprinting. Although I was able to hurdle with the best of the them, my legs were so short that it put me to a great disadvantage. I had to run and had speed. Almost I wanted to sprint anyway. My first hurdle race was against Snyder and Guthire. Ohio State's great pain of timber-toppers. Snyder beat me, but I best Guthire, in a 15-1.5 second race, my most intense attempt. So I sprouted. The Illinois dual meet of 1024 was the worst catastrophe of my track season, with 165-23. Brooker won the pole vault, Smith the high jump, and I won the broad jump for Michigan. Illinois won everything else. Evans and Ayers Illinois beat me in my first start in the 100-yard dash. in 9 4-5 second race. They were hot that day. I led for eight-five vars. but had not built up to the distance yet and faded in. LT DOCTO A. M. to 2 P. M. 5:30 P. Monday 10 A. M. to 12:30 P. ATHENIANS CAPTURE NEW YEAR'S CONTEST Greeks Take Languid Court Game From Deltas Of Dist trict, By 37-20 Score OVER ONE THOUSAND FANS JAM ARMORY Veney And Wheatley Made An Ideal Greek Guard Combination Friday Night The Baltimore Athenians starred the New Year by trouncing the Delta Big Fire of Washington Friday night at the court of the Richmond Market Armory before a holiday crowd of 1,000 fans by a score of 37 to It was a languid affair, with the outcome never in doubt. The Greeks had a 15 to 2 lead at the end of this game, and appeared to be in poor condition and didn't furnish much opposition to the Favorites. Once or twice in the first half the score was tied, but it didn't mean much, as the local champs took things up and the diphthong defense with little trouble. In justice to the Delta, they had an excellent team, but according to reports they have had few real games and several of the players were out of condition due to a long lay off. Doneghy in left guard, made a flying tackle to "Scrapy" Brown's teammate and reminded fans of his exploits on the gridiron. A personal foul was called on the grid star by the referee. The grided combination hattled the team, never a better combine have sported the Greek colors. They were on the job every minute. Poles and Raskerville in forward, with Brown in center, made an ideal floor ma "Chippy" Taylor was injected into the game late, but while in action he accounted for three goals. Keller, another late addition, shot two decks spots from the floor in his allotted time. Cobbs was the outstanding performer for the Senators. All the small in-stature, he was the high scorer, with four doubledeckers and one free throw for a total of 9 points. He covered more territory than any of his mates and managed to wiggle through the Athenian line for several marks. Golf received a hard jolt in the first part of the game which took some of the starch out of the elongated pivot man. Mickey, Coates, Freeman and Johnson gave their best, which was not enough to stop the onrush of the Athenian steam rollers. The Celtics and Unknowns opened the bill in a thrilling tilt, which ended 15-15 for the former. Both are "Y" league teams. ATHENIANS DELTAS Poles, rf. G. F. P. Cohors rf. G. F. P.

With the crack of the gun in the final race I was off like a flick. At twentyeight we had to walk all the way to the tape. The crowd was so shocked by my victory that it was a full minute before they recovered enough to seize the ball. It was 9 + 5 seconds. I also won the browd jump with 24 feet. 19½ inches. But there is no doubt that the cut-out victory in the ninety-surprise victory in the hundred. When we arrived in Boston for final Olympic tryouts our entire squad was sent down Brooker in the vault. Smith in the high jump, Leschinsky in the 200 meters, labell in the 5,000 meters and stood a good chance to be well represented on the Olympic team. *Clinches on Team* On my first jump I clinched my place on the team with a leap of 25 feet, 15 inch. Gourdin finished second with 23 feet, 10 inches, and the other jumpers were below him. We seemed to have a good jumping team for the games. Brooker, in the pole vault, was the only other Michigan man to make the team. The races in the Harvard stadium on that Friday and Saturday were really wonderful. I saw the pick of America's athletes striving for the honor of representing their country in the greatest set of games in the world. All of the competition was of the keenest sort. Records fell and fell again. All those who made the team could truthfully say they were among the best in the country, because never did youth fight as they fought in the stadium on those two days. Saturday night the team selections were announced and the fortunate few made their way to New York to catch the America for the trip to France. FOR FOR MEN M. to 8:30 P. M.

Henderson Lists 14 Ruies For Officials To Observe Read of the Department of Physical Training, Junior and Senior High Schools, Washington, D. C. By E. B. HENDERSON With the increasing emphasis behind the game, an dvery the very progressive growth made in schools for colored youth, it is urgent that the mistakes of the pioneers be not repeated but the most up-to-date standards be set. For the most part the coaches are men of character, sufficient to win, and ideals of the game at heart. They would be better; the games as ag- codes for physics and character if the ideals of the alumni of many schools were not so all powerfully centered in the business of winning games instead of seeing the playing-of- games with many of the big coaches of the country, there is a saying, "That good alumni are the dead Power Of The Press The sports writer in our press is a potent factor. It lies within his power to popularize the best efforts of the coaches and players of various professional athletic practices. This is being done. Very few coaches are withdrawing teams from the field of play because of injuries or abilities, for each defeat on the slightest provocation. The pressure exerted by influential coaches makes them easy prey to the habit of excuses defeat. But this is growing less. There are coaches and team coaches that are invariably good sports in school and in after life while opposite tactics and different types of coaches turn injuries and poor sportsman into special group. More Study The officials need to give more time and study to the game. Much of the crowds reaction and training of the boys and men in the games It won't do any more to take last year's star player and give him an important game. You also have the qualifications of a good official. Character first, a knowledge of the rules, ability to think quick and ready judgment and accuracy. Coaches who secure officials have to get be less influenced by officials who "basking for another job" by dodging the essential if unpleasant duties of their office. Coaches of officials who get jobs by playing up the social stunt with the coaches, who work always in minor capacity, self-penalize, but let the major officer bristle at the setting-back of teams.

New York—Bob Lawson and Ray Neuman, white will head the bill at the Commonwealth club Saturday night over 19 rounds, BY RUSSELL CAUTION At RUSSELL City, N.J.—The Vandals of Atlantic City spring a surprise in the basketball world on New Year's Night by walloping the Panthers of Philadelphia in a 74-62 victory.

Robinson's four shot shortly before half-time broke the edge to the association lads at $7. In the final period it was Hall, who had substituted for Pinner making three shots and one free toss and Captain Fisher made four points. Allen, for the defeated was steady in guard while Fisher also put up a good defensive game. Ridley Hall for the Y. M. C. A., featured the attack with Pinner close behind K.

DOUGLASS TOSSERS BEATEN BY ALUMNI The Douglass High school dribblers met their first reverse Monday when the Alumni stopped them in the gym of the New High School by a 21 to 15 score. The High school lads were trailing at the end of the quarter, 6-0, but managed to pull up and were behind 10 to 5 verdict as the first ended. Sheffey was the chief gunner for the Alumni caging four pointers from the floor while the floor work of Jerome Woods and Payne was up to the minute. Leo Woods, former Douglass student now at Morgan College, played a stellar guard game. The school lads played a great game but were unable to find the basket and many "set ups" went for naught when the ball bounced from the backboards. For the Alumni, Jerome Woods, and Spencer are attending Howard, while Sheffey, Payne, and Leo Woods are at Morgan. In the preliminary, the All Stars won a 12 to 2 game from Class Two A Two when Class Two A One failed to show up. Friday. Douglass plays the Vocational quint in the gym at the New High School.

CA 1947 0940 BALTIMORE 33 In Signed Statement Savoy Says Pass In Howard-'Force Game Was Imperfect CASE OF PASSING THE BUCK SAYS GIBSON Referce Says Signal Was Not Detected And 'Force Player Made Ball Free Washington, D. C.—In a signed statement, A. Kiger Savor, who was umpire in the Wilberforce-Howard football game played in Washington on November 6, put full responsibility for the ruling of the forward pass that resulted in a Howard touchdown, on L. U. Glison of Baltimore, who was the referee. The play occurred in a fourth quarter of Howard's quarterback, throw the ball to Campbell, Howard right end. It bounced off his chest into the arms of Long, Howard left end. He ruled the pass completed. Wilberforce players protested. He gave as his reason for the decision that one of their players had been fudged by Campbell and before caught by Long. A few minutes later, Howard scored the long touchdown of the game. Wilberforce later stated that after the game, Later Dr. B. B. Henderson, athletic director at Dunbar High School, wrote an article in which he stated that Glison's erroneous decision. MR. SAVOY, in his statement, denies that he failed to signal Mr. Gibson. He says that Mr. Gibson missed his signal and rendered the decision as he saw the play. He further stated that he called Mr. Gibson aside, quoted to him the rule and stated to him that the pass was incomplete. Mr. Gibson told him, he says, that he had seen a Wilberforce player touch the ball. The umpire, Mr. Savoy, also stated that he signaled the pass incompletely, but the impression was made at the meeting of the Eastern Board of Football Officials in Baltimore on December 19th, that he failed to signal at all. In the statement to the AFRU, the week, Mr. Gibson said that he did not see the signal given by Mr. Savoy, although he was on the lookout for it, and had caught his signals in other plays during the game. All officials are subordinate to the referee in a football game, said Mr. Gibson, and he is the chief executive. Mr. Gibson would not say that the umpire did not give the signal for an incomplicated pass, but said he was on the watch for it on the close play and failed to detect the required sign. However, Mr. Gibson said he was in position to see a Wilberforce player touch the ball, which made it free, hence his ruling. This is the first year the signal system has been used and some officials are not conversant with the correct signs to give on the spur of the moment. Mr. Gibson is of the opinion that the whole affair is in the order of "pussing the buck" and said Mr. Siachow on the field. Since he saw the particular play and saw a Wilberforce player touch the ball, he being the official in charge of the game, saw no other course to take but the one. SHIELDS REFUSES TO TURN PROFESSIONAL "himmy" Shields Union University football star turned down several fattening offers this winter to turn proession. Borden being rated as an All-American back, Shields is captain of Union's baseball team, and made quite an impression at Lake George host summer while playing with his team. Several scouts who saw Shields in action last summer sought out the young player and made him see the wares in big time. Ben Taylor, former manager of the Washington Huskies, made several possibilities in Shields several years ago and tried to get him to play with his Washington Potomac. Pa Shields would not give his consent to the offer. The latest to make an offer to Shields is the Baltimore Black Sox and it is sat the college star is permitted to own terms of his own contract. Shields has refused to accept the glittering proposals made by the club owners and will remain the amateur ranks until graduation. Opens New York-Studio New York—Miss Eva Albert Jaez, sye.

There's a man who knows what he can do. He can make a watch, or he can construct a locomotive, and yet not so very much after all, for a locomotive is simply a watch grown up. The man who made a watch probably never thought of applying the same sort of motive power to a machine which would whirl one over the ground at a rate of a mile or more a minute. The same force which drives your electrical fan, drives the flying machine or your submarine under water; it is simply the application of the same force to land, water, and air. Digging with a spade was all right air a few years ago, but the great machines which dug the Panama Canal were only spades grown up, nothing more, nothing grown less. Some one has said men are only boys grown up. This is true, for in that baby that lays in the cradle are all the elements that will ever be in him, no matter how old he grows nor how big he gets. J. N. Mullery Judge Terrell In the death of Judge Robert H. Terrell, Washington and the Nation lost one of their most striking persecutions. From a Virginia country lad, who worked his way thru school, college and university with his own hands to the municipal court, he appointed first by Resevech, and then reappointed by Taft, Wilson and Harding, he won the respect and friendship of Democrats as we laid Republican President Wilson hesitated, doubting the wisdom of a Democratic President responding a Republican Judge, President Wilson hesitated, doubting the wisdom of a Democratic President responding a Republican Judge, President, assuring him that he would make no mistake in remanding Judge Terrell. A college graduate met Judge Terrell in 1911, and soon his minion sought in securing a Harvard scholarship. Six years passed, without seeing the judge again until one day at Ninth and You Street, a south on the street by his first name. Friends say of him his memory was prodigious. He never forgot a name or a face, and years numbered on his record or a sage. This memory carried over into the business of administering the law. It is said to have judged on the municipal bench. Lawyers of the other race often transferred their cases to his court, because of his wide knowledge of law and of his kindly nature. "See a judge and you see a grouch" is an old saying, which did not apply to Judge Terrell, who was famous for his work with Abraham Lincoln was 65 years ago. Hard work incapacitated Judge Terrell for work three years ago. In the interim he will be remembered as the most intelligent colleagues hoping still he would recover sufficiently to continue his work. Judge Terrell will be remembered as the best place in which to live. Sloth, ill humor, pessimism and hatred had no part in his make-up. His was a delightful presence, the memory of both an inspiration and a behemoth. Among the 151 successful candidates to pass the Ohio State bar examination last week was Miss Jane Hunter. Readers of the newspaper have heard of Miss Hunter before, but at the rate of speed she has been travelling, the past ten years, she is destined to become a national figure. She scores years ago, Miss Hunter, an orphan in Abbeville, S. C., was working at odd jobs to complete her high school education. She qualified for trained association of the Philadelphia Public School, an institution similar to the Y. W. C. A. Some 80 girls live with her and her employment bureau handles 600 girls and women each month, and 800 girls for Phyllis Whentley, and Miss Hunter helped direct the campaign. Even then she was studying nights at the Cleveland Law School. Social butterflies, with pampering parents, and wives of smug well-to-do business or professional men may learn a lesson from the life of Miss Jane Like Miss Nannie Burroughs, of Washington: Miss Mary McLeod Beuthine, of Daytona, Florida; Mrs Aaron Wainone, and the late Madma Wainone, of Baltimore, hold old aid and without a great deal of early encouragement, carried out a career of usefulness and, service that stumps her among the great women of the Writes The Afro AMERICAN Safire and the Square Deal Afro-American Building, 628 N.

C., tells of one James Allen, who is "going into his 111th year." The Washington Post reports the death of Mrs. Emeline Dade, former slave, at St. Elizabeth's. "Friends of Mrs. Dade state she was 127 years old; that she remembered the gold rush of 1849; was twice married before John Brown's raid and had a brother who lived to be 109. Timothy Coleman, city, a surviving brother, is 90 years old." From Henderson, N. C., Preston News Service, reports the death of Thomas Cheatham, 104 years old. "The exact date of his birth is not recorded but from incidents known to the Cheatham family it is inferred that he was born in either 1820 or 1821." Washington, D. C., also reports the death of Robert Holmes, of Georgetown, at the age of 104. "While no existing record furnished the date of his birth, because his 'free papers' were stolen from him at the time of the civil war, the record of birth of his wife, his parents, his son, his daughter when she died, 21 years ago. He was two years younger than she." So it goes on, week after week, the press reporting persons who have lived to the ripe old age of 100 or more. How many of these are genuine centenarians and how many are fakes will never be known. Reliable birth certificates of 100 years ago just do not exist. In not a single one of the cases cited above can the person referred to or the members of the family produce facts to back up the claim for centenarian's honors. It is getting to be so that a man who is prematurely wrinkled or bald or gray headed, or who has been married five or six times, comes to the conclusion that he has lived 100 years and more. In fact these dear old humbugs put their age up with the same eagerness and insistence with which a spinster keeps her's in the twenties. This sort of thing is getting so common that when the sweet young thing says she's just 16, we wink one eye, and when a delightful old fraud says he'll be 136 next year, we wink the other.

Translated by Willis Steel. Published by Duffield and Company, 21 E. 11th street, New York City. Price $1.75. By mail $1.65. "The despatch reached Dakar. From there it ran across the country from Cayor to Kidugou, from Dilofo to Djibouti, from Pador to Kantan." So this story opens. How many of these places do you know, reader of Book Chat? I confess that after passing Dakar I knew once and for all, there are recent large map of Rand McNally's could only locate Kantan. This I think is typical of our ignorance of the Dark Continent and makes these novels dealing with matters not only entertaining but instructive. Samba Diouf's long walk is from Niomi "between the two great rivers which flow southward through the jungle" (grandfather of the lineic flow). He starts on a much shorter trip, to the land of the Foulahs to secure an inheritance from his mother's brother bucks, oxen, heifers, sheep and cattle. The crafty made drunk by a Mohammedmanding Mandingo chief, and then bound and sent as a recruit in place of the chief's son. Thus he leaves Africa with a soldier in the army of France. Half of the book describes the life of the African soldier, for the most part not on the ring and the night coats and dancing and dancing some tribal dance. With autumn the men's spirits grow weary, they hate the wet roads and long and long) and at night they huddle together, without ventilation, their chests with coughing, gets to the trenches, is wounded, goes to the hospital, and, minus one arm, is decorated for his courage and sent home. There he finds things much as he left home, and he is formerly and he is expected to produce wealth which he does not possess. He is cheated out of his home, and has not been faithful to him, though she is ready to have him again. Samba Dlouf makes the best of things she has the last going to the home of his love. Compared with Batutla this is a more attractive thing of the passion and splendor of imagery of that volume. But it gives it a more attractive picture, given the fact that show keen observation and deep sympathy.

Dr. Bragg Takes a Fling at the So-called "Best People" Who Frequent the Peanut Galleries in Downtown Theatres "Professor" Mr. Editor: What we need to constantly remember is it is our duty to endeavor to gradually change public opinion with respect to ourselves. There was a time in this city when members of our group were treated slightly better than animals. Marvelous changes in every respect have to present treatment. Now, what I want to say is, it is far more important for us to turn our attention to those of our own group who pay the highest Jim-crow treatment in the white theatres, then it is to denounce those who, while yet far from the "ideal" show sufficient evidence of a growth towards an explicit accommodation to all on the first floor, through the seating bei n racial groups. We can not hope to attain the ideal all at once. Ever since there has been Mary, the mother of the people who have nobly contended for the absolute obliteration of the color line. Such exist today and it should be our earnest desire to aid in steadfastness in our fight with those who thus believe. This means the gradual change of public opinion. But when we refuse to recognize the situation as it is, and contend for the immediate realization of the ideal, seemingly forgetting the crowd: No groes yet lingering among us, we but hinder and delay the coming of a proper opinion wherein the "color or line" will be a thing of the past. It is infinitely more important to get the alley" ours" out of the groge out of the alley. We must not be too "over-sensitive" in this business of racial adjustment. Let us focus in the right direction, and take care of themselves. We can not cultivate good will between the races if we stand ready to harp on every inconsequential thing. And as long as it is commonly reported that among our "best people" gallery in so-called white theatres, we should go it very softly in condemnation of our "white prejudice" for acting upon our own reflection.

Professor, "fesser," "fess," "besser," and "suffasser," these three of the most pronunciation ed. It is bad enough to mispronounce words, but in this case the incorrect pronunciation is more ourexpronounce than the correct application of the word. And so carelessly and inappropriately is the word used that the few who are entitled to the distinction of the word prefer the plain but hopeable "Mr. Funk and Wagnalls College Standard Dictionary defines a professor as "a public teacher of the highest degree in an institution where professional or technical studies are pursued; usually an officer holding a chair; and in special charge of some parish or university." Let us say that Mr. Smith gets hold of a good moving picture machine and some excellent reels. Having these, if he can manipulate his machine and need or excuse for talk, he can say the proper thing in good English, why should he prefix the word Professor of his name? What magic or apparatus and films are good, if he conducts his entertainment capably, if he deals fairly with the church, lodge or school with which he has necessary? Here's let us say, a young man who can dance beautifully and in addition can teach it; and here's a young man who is particularly well and teaches others how to play it. Why should they be Prof. This and Prof. That? What does "professor" add to their ability to produce outstanding and sage-giving power? Why should theyug about with them or have imposed on them useless baggage to which they not possessed and upon which they do not have to depend for their living or success.

We need propaganda, says Dr. DuBois in a current review of Dr. Locke's book. DAY BY DAY WITH WILLIAM N. JONES The setting of the estate of Battling Skill last week revealed the fact that after spending $100,000 he left a paltry $500 all told for the money. Before you marvel at this, however, count up how much you have made in your lifetime and how much of it you have. Battling Skill might be showing the value of money, it having come easy, but with the most of us there is no excuse FOR WE WORK HARD FOR WHAT WE GET. The average laborer making $25 per week for twenty years earns about $26,000. But how many of them can make a better showing at 40 years of age than Skill? If you have not thought of this yet, count up how much you will make during the next ten years, AND DECIDE HOW MUCH OF IT YOU WILL HAVE Scientists meeting recently in Kansas City told us some things that should not only allow us to do some peaceful sleeping but bread thinking. Dr. F. R. Moulton of the University of Chicago assures us that we can spend days work without interference of that judgment day when fire shall rain down and destroy us, for this world has just about one million DOES IT HAVE KNOW YOU WILL ASK. Well if you started out a certain street that was ten miles long and walked one hour world will reach the one of that street in just ten hours. Dr. Moulton and other astronomers have measured the distance and courses of stars and planets and will tell world the above length of time to come close enough to any great sun to be destroyed. When we see what has happened this turbulent sphere during our own lifetime, the changes in human relations and progress of science and civilization, we stagger with hope to happen in billions of years. Just as astronomers can predict with certainty when the spheres of the universe boundless distances of the universe, we can predict the course of human development. What the wonders of science and mathematics, candlelight patains, candlelight distance and make every portion of the earth equally inhabitable by white, black and brown, other factors of civilization are working to level human opportunities. It is easy to predict that long before million billion years roll by we will have an era on earth without each hurdle, from humankind's houses, hospitals and its ain't nays. WE HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO MAKE THINGS IN THIS OLD WORLD RIGHT. "I do not have any trouble," writes a mother, "with segregation in some of the stores you pointed out in your columns some time ago. I have a friend of mine and my daughter can go into any place and get proper treatment." "Furthermore," she states, the colored people will never be able to get the merchants and as long as we want the best we will have to get it at white stores. That they employ colored clerks and sales girls is really of no great concern to her as long as I can get the best of the clerks which they do hire." The view of this mother is one shared by a number of people who fail to see the deeper consequence of segregation in the clerks' bar 67 of our group who are able to get the best of service in most white establishments, even in establishments which challenge the nature of the race and there is no criticism for this. But when this talented tenors fails to see the evident connection between their and the masses, interest, here is where the short sightedness is Take the mother in question. At PROPER SERVICE. But somewhere in this world there are OTHERS SONS who believe the happiness and well- What Are You Doing With Your Money?

There is a kind of discrimination practiced in our stores, with its resultant economic problems. TITLES FOR SUCCESS MAY BE LIMITED. You, yourself may escape the consequence, but it may be handed back in double portion to your children and their children. You must. That is why it is so vital that every means be utilized and every member of the group join the fight against it at every turn. The Jews And Jesus Christ Some idea of the penetrating effects of the teachings of Jesus and the apostles which created the Christmas utterances of Dr. Stephen H. Wise, learned Jewish Rabbi and others of his compatriots, as saying that "Jews must accept the teachings of Christianity; and that the teachings of Jesus Christ were an mediatedly ohtodox Jews spoke out in protest in no uncertain terms and a denial was sent out by Dr. Wise. The whole affair is the changing attitude of Jewish leaders to Christianity. Religious and racial ties have cemented the Jewish identity on one other race on the face of the earth. Their real strength lies in their racial cleavage and this cleavage had its foundation in religious beliefs. When some years ago Israel Zangwill, the Jewish Author, wrote: "The Melting Pot" a novel having to do with Gentiles, it struck a stone wall of religious opposition within. This is 'interests' interpersonal and cultural background for racial cleavage. The religion to which we adhere seeks to level the process of racial differentiation. When Jesus Christ, a dew, gave the world a religion of universal brotherhood, he set in motion a process of racial differentiation forces this world ever knew. Today we find it even working at the mudels of Judaism, the Jewish people, which it most opposed. There is certainly no reason yet to believe that the doctrine of Judaism infuses the nuds and curse of mankind.

The race had no program or basis of concerted action. The Garvey Movement received serious set back, if not permanent check. The N. A. A. C. P. was the one organization that stood on the watch tower and warned us of approaching danger. As we now face the in coming year we should not be discouraged by the past. Let us rather gain new courage and resolution for duties and responsibilities of the new year. Nineteen twenty-five has gone into history. A NEW Year is upon us, its promise and its treasures, one of unbroken business progress and prosperity. The Negro has participated in the general tide of material advancement. While the show is closing; were dwellings in the land, some dappings have fallen even upon him. There has hardly been a time since the flush years of the 19th century, when it has been more generally employed at such remunerative of wages. A considerable surplus of their earnings has gone into the purchase of homes or into other forms Outwardly there has been the appearance of racial peace and harmony, but underneath the seas, picion has had its own reasons. There have been racial outbreaks or riots on a threatening scale. The total number of lynchings have been reduced to the lowest point since accurate records have been kept. $5,000,000 Fund The Hampton-Tuskegee Endowment Fund has given twenty-five thousand dollars has been collected, which will adequately endow these great institutions for all time to come. A Nogro has given twenty-five thousand dollars in cash contribution to Kittrell College in North Carolina, which has been enriched to the extent of nearly a million dollars the bestowed to Duke, the millionaire tobaccoist. His more wealthy brother has bequeathed over fifty million dollars to education and social service. The Johnson C. Smith University receives an endowment of eighty thousand dollars annually, which capitalizes on the Johnson C. Smith University No single year has ever before brought such good fortune to Negro education by way of material contributions. Other Negro schools have received their own allotments, the whole have shown a tendency to increase. Negro Genius There has been a distinctly new appearance of Negro genius in the appreciation of the higher arts. Negro spirituals received an enhanced appreciation. Roland Hayes has heightened the meaning of Negro song. Locke Hayes has edited the *Sister Jane* edition of the *Sister Jane* book, which he more recently edited in book form, under title of "The New Negro" has attracted the attention of the literary world t othe artistic possibilities of Negroes. For these and other specific incidents and encouraging indications we thank and express gratitude. And yet, when we have met with the tendency and drift of things, the general movements of the year just closed have been retrograde so far as the status of the race as a whole is concerned, when we engage in serious compilation one more time, only reflect a rather than恭喜ly proud. "The most serious movement of the year affecting the comprehensive wellbeing of the rac clans been the smaller dissemination of the Ku Klux Klan." "The fundamental purpose of this hooded order is to fix the non-white element of our national population in an inferior position. The danger is all the more insidious because it has the power to inflict a method of violence and brightness and resorts to the more reckonite and plausible policy. "Many Negroes have been beguiled into acceptance of their gracious advenience and the hope of a pose. That the spirit of the order is making dangerous headway no one who can read beneath the surface of appearances can possibly doubt. The danger to the Negro lurks, not in the form, but in the concealed purpose." 5.000.000 Members We hear that the order has reached the enormous proportion of five million members. Its passive sympathies and the movement continues to gather momentum it is safe to predict that in a few years it will rise up and capture the public power, the prototype of the Nego need not fear the Kluan as its activities are confined to the South. For in that region the black community sentiments assigns him, the danger lies in the tendency of this provincial policy to become the national policy. It stands like one with the nightmare, who clearly foresees the comin gevil, but has neither the power to fight it off nor to flee from it. It might indeed be a kindly blindness if it were not that the power might get see the approaching danger, from which we cannot flee. Back of the Ku Klux spirit lies the purpose of residential segregation. During the past year the tide of segregation has been reversed, advantage which we hoped we had won by a war-time decision of the Supreme Court, it now seems that we lost during the quiet times of peace. We learn that at least seventeen cities, North, South, East and West, have devise some plan to subvert the decision of the Supreme Court. Local courts, as far as tested, have uphold the legality of the method of covenants among property holdings. The current is running in one direction. If there is a single representative journal in America or any other organ of public opinion which espouses the current, the current is running under my notice. The sacred press is as silent or as sinister as the secular. This all but solid attitude denies the extended emphatic reaction on our part. The N. A. A. C. F. Eights. The N. A. A. C. P. Fights Through our militant organization, the N. A. A. C. P., we have undertaken it coatimat the tide of segregation. It was met in Detroit in its illegal and violent form; and fought to a conclusion. We now going it in the District of Columbia in its peaceful and legalize dform. Before this release: sees the light the The Old Year And The New Negro Genius Ku Klux Klan Segregation case will probably be argued before the Supreme Court of the United States. It is nothing but the technical letter of the law that stands between us and segregation. There is no support public sentiment. We can only furnish the most capable and learned counsel and pray that the will be led to the right court decision. Education In the field of education the benefits have been more than offset by internal dissentions, which have broken out along the whole circle of our higher educational institutions. We can only hope that nineteen percent of the confusion of nineteen twenty-five. It will be impossible for young to gain ideals and inspiration amid disorder and confusion. National Politics In the domain of national politics, the tendency of things has been de- pended on the day-to-day occupies less place and consider- ation on part of those in high govern- mental authority than at any time since the war. The Congress will boss and the Negro will likely not be mentioned once, if the disagreeable reference can be inaugurated of a new adminis- tration during nineteen twenty-five had no more meaning t other Negro a change in the direction of the Rhinelander Case The Rhinelander case, with its many notoriety,负 no meaning to the Negro except in its tar-reaching involvement of a one-sixteenth part of the fraction of blood would have thrown this untoward case with all of its nastiness on the white side of the equation, where he would effect which it might possibly bring upon the Negro is that its notoriety may cause other states to enact an anti-miscoindemnation law and thus serve to help fix the Negro's situation. There are twenty-six states, which have already such laws. The State of Nebraska, which at the time had only five thousand Negroes within its borders, has law to its statute book, as outgrowth of the Jack Johnson imbricio. Religion Religiously, the past year has been a passive one. The Negro took active par tin the raging controversy between the modernists and the funders of their normal rounds of routine duties. The Methodist Episcopal Church South, refused to reunite with their Northern brothers because the Negro stood as a stumbling block in the way Christian humility recorded his willingness to accept certain limits of resignation. if that would be a means of uniting their white fellow Christians in the North and in the South. But race prejudice, the modern anti-Christian belief, his complacent self effacement. Negative Year Nineteen twenty-five has been a negative year. The race had no program or basis of concerted action, and no serious setback, if not permanent check. The N. A. C. P. was the one organization that stood on the watchwatches and warned us of approaching danger. I had almost forgotten to list among the retrograde happenings of the past years, which have seriously shaken confidence in the competence of the race for handling large interests. As we now face the incoming year we should not be discouraged by the past failures, but courage and resolution for the duties and responsibilities of the New Year. Weekly Lessons In English By W. L.

Gordon in December "Opportunity" Picks AFRO-AMERICAN as First Weekly For 1925 From Mr. Gordon's Note-book Mr. Gordon went through an average of 190 papers each week, jotting down in his note books estimates of papers and totaling these estimates at the end of the year. The following is a sample of his notes: "AFRO-AMERICAN (Feb. 21-25): News—Apparently all the news of colored peoples. Unique method of presenting first paragraph in larger type (slightly indented) than the remainder of the column. Sometimes this paragraph has the aspect of a plain statement of fact; at other times the aspect of the editorial. Statement of fact all right as introduction to story; but editorials would more properly follow, than lead, the story.

"Features—'Day by Day', '15 Years Ago', 'Old Timer', 'Professor Fudge', 'Amos Hokum', 'Watson's Cartoon'—all are very good original features. Also usual syndicate features. 'Unbleaching America' interesting." "Norfolk JOURNAL AND GUIDE (Sat., Mar. 14-25): "News—Fairly national; well written; does not print all the news. Editorials—Rather flat; not forceful.

In closing my notebook I wish to mention a breach of newspaper ethics which is shamefully common among Negro editors. I refer to the practice of reprinting editorials from exchanges without giving proper credit—or, of, any credit—to the exchange concerned. It is a pernicious practice and ought to be discontinued. No newspaper may retain creditable standing among honorable contemporaries once it has been found guilty of theft of this sort. Two journals which had been selected for a probable second list were excluded because, in examining their editorial columns, I discovered stolen matter. One of these, long noted because of its (?] splendid editorials, carried one from the New York Morning World. It happened that I had read it in the World, so recognized it. There was no credit line, nor anything else to indicate that it was not a product of this editor's own brain. The other paper had reprinted an editorial from an issue of the Boston Sunday Post. It was easily recognized because it happened that I myself had written it. Both these papers were excluded. 10.

"I am buying a couple of new cars this month, and boy, what a week this has been, a rough estimate of say $500,000 is rather conservative for the business the boys have done the past week," said the bootlegger, a bustle and Hill Avenue in his week old Stutz. "Of course, a little liquor was to be had in some of the night clubs and cabarets, but not enough to make much ado over. The Fourteenth Amendment is surely being enforced," say bootlegger. "We disposed very little corn whiskey or the white lightning variety, the public is getting more flint. We could not fill orders for bottled and bonded liquors. People now-a-day want the best and we are their demands," said the bootlegger. Prices for liquor during the holidays were quoted at $5 to $7 per quart, a trifle cheaper than last New Year. Scotch was quoted at $5 to $8, while champagne was to be had at $5 to $3 a bottle. We met a boottier on the train coming up from Ribbonwood last week. The bottle had been to the Southern Capital to "look after a little business." Of course his "stuff" was the best on the market and could be bad at reasonable prices. To back up his statement he produced a bottle of Scotch done up in straw with real-cobwebs around the package. The bottle was sealed and dated 1904. A line across the label read, "bottled especially for his Majesty the King." Not being provided with a king's reasoned reply to even ask his price for the bottled "jewels," but altho according to the label, it was a king's drink he offered it to the writer for $8. Having just bought the wife a seal skin coat for Christmas, we had to refuse his offer at any price, just why women living in a climate like the Middle Atlantic States want a seal skin coat is beyond man. We have never seen rabbits shivering from cold in Maryland.... In our talk we suggested to the bootleger what might happen if he STOP THAT COUGH!

The bootlegger seemed to be happy and satisfied with the business he was doing. We gathered from his talk that his colleague was among the professional and business man and he boasted that his "goods" were of the best manufacture. On the other hand, enforcement officers supplied us with figures and statistics proving that the law was being carried out and the country would be able as the "worried" waste of friendly bootleggers and drown our sorrow with the drink of kings, if we had not bought that fur cost for the wife.

Monument street, Miss Rosie Aydlet, age 18, sized a bottle of iodine from a desk and drank it in an attempt to end her life Saturday. The young woman, who lives at 627 N. Bond street, entered the doctor's outer office while he was attending another patient in his private office. He was in a few moments. When the doctor again put in his appearance she handed him an empty bottle that had previously contained a portion of iodine poison informing him that she had just drank the contents. An examination of the girl's mouth and teeth revealed her statement to be correct. Going back to the boy he was required to get the young woman to submit to first aid treatment. She finally consented and was later declared out of danger by the doctor, who notified Northwestern District Police of the occurrence. The ambulance team patched the girl was able to home unassisted. Dependency over domestic troubles was given as the cause of the attempted suicide. e-man VITAL SPARKS DOMESTIC TROUBLES EST. 1905 SAMUEL BERMAN REGISTERED OPTOMETRIC MANUFACTURING OTOMETRIC 417 N.

The latter still organist at Sharp Memorial Church, Murray, Marytown, Kentucky. Mr. Cole is one of the school of Northwest Baltimore players made famous by such personages as Sammy Bwell, Brady McGuire, Jean Reynolds, and a musical friend who no less notable musical circles. But the time of New York was too strong for Cole, so he forsook his fire and heartstorm, and went to college to computer.

The significant part was the fact that a jury of 12 white men could be fair on a question so thoroughly permeated with race prejudice and W. R. Valentine. Principal of Bordentown, Inst., Bordentown, N. J. It was not until I reviewed the record of the Negro of 1925 in order to comply with your request that I realized how small a part the race has played in a year of extraordinary national and world achievement. The most far-reaching and significant event of the Negro in 1925 was the personal and racial victory of Miss Mabel Holloway, a student of Howard University and a member of the Conference of World Peace and Princeton University in December. In the halls of this prejudiced institution the white college men and women refused to represent southern institutions on the Executive Committee of their permanent organization and nibly refused to remove her on the passionate appeals of a few south African students, shortly will form the intellectual political, economic, and social leadership of the United States taking an unequivocal声调 for the principle of Montgomery Gregory, a thing has not happened before. Its significance for the future is incalculable and should give wonderful encouragement to the race, especially to Montgomery Gregory, Supervisor of Schools, Atlantic City, N. J.

Not only will this case improve directly the status of the Negro by its moral effect upon him, but it will produce a marked change in the attitude of the white man and thereby induce him to contribute to the betterment of racial conditions of racial relations. "Certainly it is an axiom that self-respect is essential to genuine progress. It is just as true that there is no factor which tends to foster a desire for and pride in a better economic, political, social and moral personality than the knowledge of the possession of invaluable rights—rights that one treasures himself and that he may force his neighbor to respect; rights that the government of which he is a part will force his neighbor to respect. The white man, with all of the material and physical weapons of force at his command, with laws written and unwritten to back his has been secure in the possession of his rights and has been and will be always ready to fight to protect them from transgression and aggression. The black man has been conceded no universally respected rights—either of property or of person. When he has dared to arrogate to himself those rights which the Constitution guarantees to the humblest citizen, he has realized that the fortress which he has mounted has been manned with wooden guns; that even the courts, which Justice appoints to secure his rights for him, condemn him to eternal damnation for his presumption, not only in attempting to defend them, but in darlingly to assert them." The SWEET trial has found a Negro, in a certain degree of defiance, unity, at bay and ready to fight to the power of his state will not assure him. In the bathed of KU KLUX KLANISM, he has hung from a jury of white men—not a positive guarantor of his state and family—at least a confession of doubt that it constitutes a crime for him to do so. Other Negroes will learn that he is most suiced to them and other white communities will learn that an aroused Negrohood is not to be withheld to withhold his rights. As the white man begins to respect the black man the latter will begin to respect himself—and I repeat that self-respect is most lacking in the Negro of today." J. H. N.

Kimble Explains Recent Troubles Of Friendship Church HAS RECEIVED CALL TO SIOUX CITY, KAN. Threw Milk Bottle, He Says, Only When He Felt His Life Endangered That he resigned of his own volition after he had received a call from Souix City, Kinn, and the consolation of the Friendship Baptist church with the Horum Baptist church as a means of solving the problem of the widow, the statement of the Rev. George W. Klimbe to a reporter for this paper Monday.

Sr. Kimble, and he was a street. At first they had no place to worship but by fune of the following year, the congregation had raised sufficient funds to devote them to the St. Francis Church in which the two congregations now worship. Following his call to the South Carolina, the Rev. Mr. Kimble urged the merger of these two congregations and declared that the fight which took place on November 25 had nothing to do with the trouble to "block streets within the church which are trouble breeders." Among his associates, Dr. Kimble is regarded as an apostle and good gospel teacher. In a statement to a reporter for the APO-AMERICAN Edward Lohman, one of the filibuster of the church, and the other, said that the C.S. Mr. Clark is quick him with a bottle, said that the matter left him alone, and the resignation of the pastor and that the church would continue under the merger. Wm.

How much is your youth worth to you? A frown or a simple. In the book of record a smile has the highest rating while a frown is considered so damaging that it has no credit at all. Many of the destroying elements of youth are attributed to anger, which causes all sorts of ugly lines and seams in the face. Women will resort to any manner of starvation lice, strenuous causes, in the hope they will refuse off all age yet, they will refuse the sure romance-keeping their temper, to remain unmuffled and smile, is recipe No. one for youth and an unmuffed face. In these difficult days most of us lead such hurried lives that our nerves are tired, we are easily annoyed by the most trivial things. Shade of annoyance crosses our faces and by the way we wail on faces of small lines about the eyes undergo a complete reformation. When we are in temper our faces sometimes when you are in a terrible rage look into the glass at yourself. I am sure you will never permit yourself to get into a rage again any one you see. Your beauty more than "skimdeep" for the face, cultivate serenity and the face. Therefore think kind and mind, can not reflect beauty in smile. Wintref—by the letter I find that you need plenty of sleep. Try eight hours keep every night for two weeks, and bath your eyes with salt water, making each application color and cooler, find the right amount of minutes. Such a treatment will soon relieve you of the strained look and puffiness under the eyes. Ethid—I am not an advocate of vanishing cream because it is too drying and the amateur will draw lines in the face through ignorance of applying it. Cold cream is the very best to put on it. But if it is rubbed off before you put on the powder, Send self-addressed stamped envelope for bleach cream you are asking about. Mary—For an oval face the rouge should be put on in the crescent, the center of which should be on the cheek bone, at the outset of the eye. Put it rouge on in little smacking the one in the center the larger, blending the smaller dots with the fingers, run some under the eyebrows, being careful to keep eyelids free of any of the rouge, for that would give a leary or age look.

HUB FURNITURE COMPANY Readers Pick Most Important Event Of The Year 1922 Other items on Page 16 Contributions to Education The marked impetus given to the advancement of Negro education, as shown by the large contributions to Negro institutions, impresses me as an outstanding event of the year 1925. "This year has seen the largest contributions which have ever been made in the interest of Negro education. The largest single contributions have been made by cooled donors as well while a cooled donor of the Thomas W. Turner, Professor of Biology, Hampton Institute, Va. "Locally, I would say that the most important event in Negro education during 1925 was the opening of the museum and a half dollar Frederick Douglass Senior-Junior High School and the creation of two junior high schools for Negro boys and girls. We cannot estimate the far-reaching effect of this new step in education will have upon the life of the Negro in this city." Perry J. G. Pennington. Acting Principal Douglass Junior High School. "I consider the moral victory of Harry Wills over Jack Dempsey of notable worth." R. W. Reckling. Head of English Depart., Douglass High School. "To my mind the Sweet case in Detroit was the most important thing affecting the American Negro in 1925." "In so far as Baltimore is concerned, the acquisition of and becoming established in the Douglass High School is, in my mind, the most important thing that has taken place for the race." "The greatest achievement of the race in 1925 was the concert of Roland Hayes." Dr. E. T. Burton, Myrtle Avenue and George Street. "The most important event of the Negro in 1925 was the convening of the National Convention in Baltimore bringing together some of the greatest minds of the race to formulate comprehensive objects of achievement." "The outstanding local happenin my judgment, is the opportunity our group has to develop its youth. It is given to us in the increased faci- ilities of education to our people, the opening of the Douglass High School, the opening of two junior high schools; and the most impor- tant of all, the encouragement of one of our group to guide the desti- nies of our children. We are thankful for the opportunity." W. Cato Anderson. Teacher of History, Douglass High School. Taken together, the large gifts for the education of our own race, made by both colored and white people constitute the most important event in our history during the year 1925. Dr. Perona O'Connell, Professor of History Morgan College. I regard the recognition accorded Counseur P. Cullen as poet by the authorities of Howard University as one of the most important achievements of the Negro in 1925." W. W. Johnson, Counselor in Education and Vocational Guidance.

Smith, 1612 Druid Hill Avenue Home Education Home Education BEING PLEASANT ETHEL G. PETERSON When a girl enters the school for telephone operators the first thing she needs to use a pleasantly modulated tone of voice in answering calls. The telephone companies employ teachers with special training in elocation to drill the girls. Why? Because, with an invisible operator, the voice is all the subscriber has to judge. The teacher, in courtship pays in actual dollars and cents. Also, that it is contagious, and a soft voice very often turns away wrath. Have you noticed how, when mothers are tired and nervous, and "snap" at their children, the children in a snap, in a hard record, in a loud voice? Often we speak to children in a tone we should be ashamed to employ to a grown up. We may well take a lesson from the phone girls. Our boys and girls should be taught to speak in clear, pleasant tones, so that even passing strangers will carry away favorable impressions of them. "To my mind the most important event in 1925 is the entry of American capital in the country of Liberia, Africa. When such a commercial interest of America is put into a country like Liberia, it means greater development in the area as greater protector of the country." Dr. J. S. Fennell, Druggist, Druid Hill Avenue and Biddle St. "The recognition of Roland Hayes as one of the foremost singers and the "Survey Graphic" of New York edited by Dr. Alain L. Locke, are conspicuous signs of Negro achievement in 1925." Mason A. Hawkins, Principal Douglass High School. "One of the most significant events affecting the Negro in 1925 was the issue involved in the Sweet case in Detroit." Rev. W. W. Allen, Pastor Shilloh Baptist Church. Dr. Alain Locke I consider the dismissal of Dr. Alain Leroy Locke from the faculty of Howard University as the most important event for the Negro in 1925. Dr. Locke's enforced leisure has permitted him to devote his scholarly attachment to the best of the best American academics. He has seen his speeches before the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, before the Negro Academy on "Traditions in American Negro Literature", his many magazine articles and above all his book, "The New Negro", are in my opinion the highest value We may look for in continuation of such masterly contributions.

The Largest Grocery House in the World AFRO'S NEWEST S A young mother of my acquaintance is determined that her children shall give her cheerful obedience. So when Junior and she disagree, and he has to yield to her opinion, and is inclined to be a bit biffy about it, she smiles sweetly, at him, and says, "Smile at Junior. You are so smart at Junior you smile does smile. She uses the words here quoted so frequently that they have attained the status of a family slogan. Even when punishment has been found necessary, after the tears are dried, she says again, "Smile at Mother," and though her little daughter is slower to respond to this than Junior, sooner or later the smile comes and atmosphere is restored to the home. I have felt sometimes that it was a little hard for her children to have to smile when perhaps they were feeling aggrieved over not having their own way, but the psychology in itself is all right. The very physical act of smiling makes them feel more like smiling. Those children will be a joy to their teachers and when they are with them will be smiley to go around with an all-day grouch on.

During the hot weather one or two extra sponge baths may be given. For the first few months the temperature of baby should be to 95 degrees F. By the end of the first year it may be lowered to 80 or 85 degrees. The temperature of baby's bath may be tested with the bare elbow, never with the hand. The water should feel comfortably warm to the elbow on tub, soap, towels and washrug, bath thermometer, powder, clean clothes, chair and table. All these and his full, set of clean clothing should be arranged beforehand. On her undressing baby, wear knee in a small blanket, wash the face, head and ears, being careful not to get soap into his eyes and mouth. Very little soap is needed for baby's skin. It is most important that the skin should be rinsed thoroughly. Put the skin d with a soft towel, talk to the baby and the ears in the soft folds of the neck. UNDRESSING: To undress baby, take the clothes off over his feet. If held on the lap, a large bath towel should be placed across the lap to cover the baby's face with a rough or worsed dress, and to receive him when he is lifted out of the tub. A more convenient way of bathing the baby is to undress him on a table, instead of the lap. After the bath dress him asildidly as possible. If the baby is cold, take care not to expose him unnecessarily. The Christmas Candle "You look cold, Peter," said Anne kissing her husband as he stooped down to her, bits of snow lying on his overcoat and falling from the hat he had just removed. "A little." He shrugged out of his thin coat and crossed to the radiator. "Winter is here now, all right." "Sit right down, we've a nice dinner." Anne settled baby's bib with a tender gesture and faced her husband gayly. "What do you do all day, Anne?" Peter, glancing casually past her at the baby, was surprised to see a flash of rose rise in her face. "I sewed. Baby and I need so many things." "Women are lucky to be able to make their clothes; the expense is much less. Now a man has to parish with a big sum if he needs a suit or he pauses jerkily on his wife's guilt and the word he had hitten off. Peter needed an overcoat badly, a warm one, for he had five vacant lots to pass to reach his street car. Anne nodded equably: "Yes. a girl can juggle a few bits of lace and chiffon and the result is a really stunning tunic, but man's clothes run into money. Clothes are slowly going down, though." "Yes, yet." agreed her husband quickly. "But that I am thinking of getting anything just to wear wish my last year's coat had not gone to pieces so suddenly. You don't suppose I could have a new velvet collar and some paces put on where the pockets are worn—" "Nonsense, Peter. You would spend a lot of money and it wouldn't look like anything then. It was never warm enough for mildwinter." Anne seemed, or so Peter fancied, to be in the middle of bread and milk than in his problem of warmth. "Just try to worry along with what you have until the February reduction sales. Then you can buy a good coat." "Worry along." Peter stirred uncasily. That phrase was one that haunted him continually. They were always thinking about things paid off. Doctor hills and furniture, clothes and insurance, it was all a deadly circle. "Yet," he told himself. "Anne is right of course. I'll save perhaps $20 by waiting." A few nights later he was surprised and annoyed to find that he had no socks in his drawer. "My unimpending basket is full of them. I'll just cobble up a pair tonight and try and get at them tomorrow." "Seems as though you might find time to mend my clothes." Peter had a bad cold and wished he could spend his days in the sunny, well-heated flat. "Did you go out today?" Yes. "Her needle flew in and out of the blue sock." "Peter, let's not spend much for Christmas. I do want to make the usual $10 deposit in the bank. Everything is high at this season too." Peter tried to shake off the feeling that Anne had evaded his question. She had a mysterious in her manner that disquieted him. "Where did you go today?" "Why, I went over to Mrs. Carey's. She let me sew on her sewing machine." "Making something?" "I'm altering my blue dress, it's too tight. Takes a lot of time. I'm going over agan tomorrow. I wish —" In her turn Anne halted, but Petter will be able to supply the missing words, a new machine would save her hours of tedious handwork. Next day Peter's employer asked him if he'd like to have night work and get the extra pay. "I took it Anne, because I might be able to get to a coat before the work is finished. But, his worried eyes met hers, "I might fall sick and it would cost more in the end." "Yes, it would." Peter stared at her detached tone. "When you get the overtime money?" "Fired in January." "I see. I've been going down town a good deal lately and I shan't have to hurry home row that you'll be here late for dinner. I suppose you will get in about ?" "I am afraid Mrs. Carey is leading you to work," She is a potorous gadder and —" "An excited little laugh intervened. "Oh, well she's always letting me use her machine and if she likes me to go down town with her it's a surprise." For a selfish moment Peter wished that his sister-in-law's good nature in keeping baby would give out. Anne would get into the habit of running about window-shopping and grow dissatisfied with his small salary. For several weeks he remained to do the night work and often Anne mentioned, as she sat with him at his delayed meal, that she had been out. He noticed that she seemed very tired and rather pale. The flat was not kept now in its usual exquisite order, although she made the mingling and delicious. He was afraid the baby tried her strength with her tireless demands. Christmas fell on Thursday and the Tuesday before Peter, was summoned to the office. "I thought maybe you could use that thought, maybe money before Christmas," said his employer genially. Tell the cashier to give it to you and Saturday, January 9th DERS The Baby THE BATH: Care should be taken never to plunge the baby into water that is too hot or too cold, not to let him fall and strike the tub or in any way to get frightened at his daily bath. If the bathing is done properly baby will enjoy" his bath so thoroughly that the giving it will be a pleasure. Soap the entire body thoroughly, then place him in the bath, holding him with the left forearm under the neck and shoulders, the left hand under his left arm, and lifting the feet of the baby while in the tub with the left hand and arm. Sponges the entire body with the right hand, then lift the baby out and wrap him in a bath towel. Dry carefully with the soft cloth the skin gently. New rub the baby's tender skin with anything less smooth than the palm of the hand. BRAN BATHS: Is any irritation of the skin, such as chafing or prickly heat, bran may be substituted for soap. Make a cotton bag of cheese cloth or other thin material to bug in the bath water, Sook the bug in the bath water, squeezing it until it becomes milky. POWDER: A little pure talcum powder may, be used in the creases and folds of the skin, under the arms and around the buttocks, but it should not be used so freely as to clog the pores of the skin. Highly permeated powder should not be used. Powder should never be applied until the skin is thoroughly dry. Don't put in any extra hours this week. You need some extra hours for shopping." Hurry home at the usual time, Peter planned to give his wife an evening down in the gayly decorated shop. The apartment was dark, however, and his exhilaration faded as he devoured a cold, pick-up meal alone. "Believe I'll go down alone and look at overcoats," he morosely decided. Putting on the tan overcoat that had been bought for autumn wear he went out. The coats were high in price but temptingly comfortable to the man who went twice daily pass the frozze while kept tacit at lots. He had almost decided to take the one he wore when the salesman pointed out the stitching. "Mighty fine workmanship, that. See those rows of machine stitching?" He fingered the material thoughtfully. "That money would buy the sowing machine Anno needs so badly," he reflected. He entered with his latch key and sniffed at the delicious aroma of broiling steak and French fried potatoes. Peter dear, you're five minutes early," cried Annie happily, running out into the tiny hall to greet him. She wore her usual gay smile, but he thought she looked very, tired. I've been downtown in the shops. Bale gave me the overtime money and asked, "You didn't get your car?" did you? She interrupted quickly. Peter's eyes met hers gravely and a queer cold feeling grew inside him. He did not answer her query but averted his gaze, saying: "I'm sure ready for dinner. Your steak smoked fine." "Peter. I've seen keeping a secret—haven't you wondered—" He steadied her as she swayed toward him, then, some of the odd hard feeling melting, took her in his arms. Never mind honey. Whatever life has left for her, life has not been what I hope to make it for you, and if you've ordered a decent dress or a fur that's a bit extravagant don't worry about it. You've got a hubby to pay the bill, you have choked a bit over this but brought it to you for eager forgiveness—"like to pay for things for such a wife." Anne's curly yellow head lifted, her blue eyes meeting his surprisingly: "Look, dear!" On the couch lay, a handsome overcoat and the man's eyes gazed with interest and innended incredulity at the soft fur collar. "Try it on, quick, Peter," she urged. I meant to keep it for Christmas, but it's so cold that I wanted you to wear it to work tomorrow. I just finished it tonight and got it here." His question was a shout as he buttoned the warm garment about him: "Finished it? What in the world?" Anne giggled: "It's been such a load, that secret. I've been taking a course in sowing and I wanted to surprise you. This is your old overcoat turned. Doesn't it look rich? Then the fur makes you look positively sumptuous. It's the best part of my old fur piece. I put heavy channel between the elfing and a set of chamois-skin in the upper fronts. I don't believe you'll feel the cold now." "You took the course downtown and then had to go to Mrs. Carey's to sew by it. No wonder you looked fugged to die. He had again and again to do it. He had again and again bright head snuggled luxuriously against the fur. "You surely had the Christmas spirit, sweetheart, to tell like that. A slow smile spread over his face as the sudden recollection followed the joy of his wife's gift of love. The Christmas has the flavor of that story. "The Gift of the Magi." Your lovely hair was already hobbled so you could not sacrifice that for me, but you gave up hours and hours of time you needed for rest to sew this." "Most men would have rushed to buy it," murmured Anne and failed to see the flush that ran up into his thin face. "I—did think of it, but I bought you a present instead. It’s a very practical gift, honey, but——" She whirled about excitedly: "Oh, my God!" "You can finish your wish without hurting my feelings, Anne. A sewing machine will be here tomorrow and there's money left too, for a frolic downtown tomorrow night, but we will smilled he stood smiling down at her radiantly. "I'd like to get one of those tall red candies to burn in our window Christmas eve. For love," he finished. Tuesday, 5 P.

The Afro-American—South's Biggest and Best Weekly Darrow Better Follower Of Jesus Than Many Pastors Christians Take The Lead In Race Hate Says Dr. Pickens New York City—Clarence Darrow alleged indief, chief counsel for the defense if the Sweet case in Detroit, Michigan recently, that his boss failed to than many pastors declared the Rev. W. H. Moses, campaign director of the National Baptist Convention in a New Year's message to the country. Many local pastors are condemnation address here in which he stated coloured people were "too blooming pious" and "if the good Lord delivered Daniel from the Lion's den, while he had his hands in his mouth, he would have black men and women lynched and burned in the South." Christmas Myset Not Crucify Darrow Darrow reveals the Christian spiritual spirit. "He is helping out evil spirits, though he is not one of our followers," in church members. "That makes no more difference with Jesus than the different churches doing good work in his Spirit. He told his disciples that he is not against us. So for the man who is not against us is for us."

The Watch Night service was well attended. Charles King, of Laytonville, and Miss Susie Cyphus were married on the world. He is a better follower of Jesus than most preachers of his religion. He said he would go and work in his father's vineyard, but did not go. Is not as acceptable as the one who said that he would not go but went into the vineyard and any effective attempt of the leaders of modern Christianity to crucify Clarence Darrow will react unfavorably on the churches, just like the crucifixion of Jesus reacted unfavorably on the churches of dispensation of Judaism. For the childlike common people have a way of finding God's spirit in great souls and not out looking for them. Let modern churches fight and malign men of the Darrow type, and the masses will say what Jesus was great. "Not one stone shall be left upon another that shall not be torn down." "Now, I leave you to yourselves. I will not be left out again until you say, 'Blessed he who he comes in the Lord's name.'" People the world over are beginn- ing to believe that Jesus is the priest, not because they are hostile to Christian principle, but because the priest is praising the principles of Jesus. By William Pickens "Can white people be Christian, like Christ?"—Many same colored people have replied: "We have replied: 'Yes—and we have known some that we meet in Justice, like Jesus, and mighty in mercy, and we know that a complete answer to such a question: ONE is a demonstration of fact and a prophecy of possibility. We have steadily grown less firm in the long-established religion that fills most of the pulpits of the great white church. We too cannot deny the gift of the refined mob which is their particular flock; if they have a rich congregation, they are subservient to the police and the grapegrowing, they today to intolerance, in Indianapolis, Ind., for example, we found some of the white pastors joining (not leasing) the land; low business of racial segregation movements. The segregationists of that city publish a weekly paper, "The Jihadist Journal," giving free to six thousand homes, in a December issue occurs a leading article of news and comment executive League, which had met on the ceding Saturday night "at the usual place, the M. P. Church." And this meeting had been addressed by two Christian capital Capitol Avenue Methodist Churches,) who made "wousing addresses in favor of keeping this part of Indianaapolis white," did not colleague in defense of these persecuted colored citizens. Must colored people reach the conclusion that only the non-Christian churches have largely fallen under suspicion of being Klux-hot-boats. If the white race can do justice to black people, it will "protestantism" as much as "assistance" to grow, are long he will have no confidence in any praying white man; when the white preacher offers him heaven from the one hand, he infects that he holds hell in the other. We have sometimes made the white audience laugh, and perhaps experience with the alliance of the church with race prejudice has produced in us such a state of mind that when we sit down on one end we are all in the same common curler, and a sneering white bigot gets up off the other end because we are not all in the same question "Wonder whose Sunday School he's superintendent of." If raceful segregation, with its conscientious suspicion, suspicion hate, and war, is for white pastors the "Christian standpoint," then in the name of the Devil, we would like them in the devil will Devil's stand. Colored people everywhere are noticing the fact that the best and most-willing defender they could have been is the one who persecution and official injustice in Detroit, is a non-Christian, Clarence Darrow, a man who snaps his fingers at creeds of words and accepts only creeds of deeds.

The moral thought of the present-day world is upset by a controversy between seemingly well-grounded scientific facts and the religion of Faith, pure and simple as laid down in our Bible. "The scientific knowledge, which has brought this about is: (a) That man in his descent has obeyed the Law of Connecting Links within his species as have the species of the lower animals. (b) That man in his lowest prehistoric form connects as logically in form with the anthropoid apes as he does with those within the certain prehistoric form. (4) In accordance with well defined Biological laws, man in his descent has passed through even lower forms than those of the ape. Notwithstanding all this it is logical in logic to believe that the present context is the ours. Facts in the Bible show that the present context between Science and Religion is nothing now. It begins with the very establishment of Religion. In all former contests there has resulted each time a change in religion and in some cases an almost new religion. The establishment of a new worker in most cases has meant a new religion. The comparative simple evolution to a higher and more logical religious basis. We are at the beginning of a new epoch in a new religion. It is for the thoughtful and wise among us to determine whether we shall go forward to higher things or to lower things.

Saturday, January 9th Business and A Weekly Review Of Conducted by Insurance Head Bright B 1926 Promise Wide Industry Says W. That the business outlook for 1926 is decidedly encouraging, is the verdict of W. A. Jordan, assistant secretary-manager of the Southern Washington Virginian. Speaking particularly of Virginia, and the field covered generally by agents of the Southern Aid Society, Mr. Jordan points out that although the general employment among our group has been below par, there is every evidence that there will be a wide improvement during the coming year. In the large town of Virginia, there was a slump in employment, which was passed on by the laboring group to the business of the race. Building a bank and vicinity was slightly in excess of that of 1924, but farming through out the Virginia territory had a poor year. Bad weather made production impossible and unprofitable, and employment has been on a steady decline. High Prices On account of the high prices of material and labor, there has been very little construction of houses by colored people. The only bought houses already built, but because of continued unsatisfactory houses and conditions, there must be some relief in the New Year, and there are plans to build a house construction to remedy these conditions. In Richmond, especially, there is a plan to develop the Frederick Doughts Court, a restricted section of the city, to a suburban development known as Garden City. Financial Institutions A very pleasing aspect of the general situation in this section, according to Mr. Jordan, is reflected in the variety of pledges, insurance companies, fraternal societies and associations and small business establishments that have experienced a series of misfortunes in the failure of its oldest bank about two years ago, and as this was the second largest bank in the country twenty years, the recent expansion of financial institutions here is remarkable. They have not only regained the confidence of their customers doing a larger business than ever. Education What will be of both educational and industrial interest to this section, is the aggressive program of the Hirschhorn Memorial College to secure $300,000 for an endowment on new buildings. With each G. Jones Memorial Hospital, a colored community hospital, has secured two and one-half acres from the Virginia Union University and will cover the rest of the hospital plant for colored patients. The advent of the New Year finds church building active. Several edifices under construction have been completed. They include the Sixth Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Fifth Street Baptist Church, Sixth Street, an intensive improvement at St. Phillip's P. E. Church, and the Moore Street Baptist Church. Public Work Public work for Richmond in 1928 also promises some improvements in the city's streets have been selected for paving. Additional buildings and improvements in the city have also been included in the city's program for the immediate future. The city also recently opened a small branch of the city's library. Southern Aid Society Speaking specifically in regard to the development of the Southern Ald Society of Virginia, Mr. Jordan announces an increase in capital stocks from $10,000 to $100,000, and the entire increase is expected to be taken up before the New Year begins. During 1959 the Society will also extend its field of operation into considerable new territory, and will therefore be able to give employment to a much larger number of young men and women of our group.

Armstrong A newly organized commercial venture does not, because of its youth, have recourse to such great underwriters, J. P. Morgan and Company, or Kuhn, Loeb and Company. Therefore they have to raise their own capital when, where and how they can. They have to acquire the ventures sponsored by our race group. In the main our various businesses have not reached the stage in the development of their business lines of credit at their disposal, and the banks within our own group are usually so tied up with their own propositions that many requests for financial help are turned down. I do not here mean to infer that there should be an indiscriminate granting of credit; there are many careful investigations, inert, careful investigation would warrant the placing of some credit at the disposal of the promoters along with the experience and counsel of the board. The inability of many promoters in the past to secure credit through the proper channels, led to their failure to grow under the guide of investment; stock-selling at best is an expensive affair, and doubly so when the stock is off-load under the guide of investment; stock-selling at best is an expensive affair, and doubly so when the stock is off-load under the guide of investment; it has been stated by competent authorities that it cost from 25 per cent, in 2000, to 5000 per cent of the selling does not consume more than 80 days. With the poor facilities at the disposal of promoters of our race it takes a considerable sum of money to raise the total sum of money can be raised to make any appreciable business showing. In the past men have sought to interest the public in enterprises without the semblance of an existence; this is woefully wrong. The general public has been asked to take part in any commercial idea until it has been tested in the markets thoroughly, and after it has been proven beyond a doubt that it is a good product of the idea, then capital can be sought after for expansion purposes, because the initial stages have been gone through in the testing out The logical step in securing necessary funds to begin actual operation in a small way would be to interest the integrity, ability, and capacity of the promotion: the promoters themselves devoting all of their time and energy to the development of the program stage where it can pay them a living salary, and earn a fair return on the invested capital, with still a surplus for contingencies that might arise then, only if it is ready for public participation.

One permission to operate the station (transmitting) home (the call letters of which are 3LP) and another in his office (station 3JF) both stations have been given a distance by radio fans when on a dream that the operator is a Negro. Fourteen radio magazines of the United States and Europe feature Turner regular technical articles and turner editor of three current publications. Turner first became distinguished in the field of radio-technology, and has been the inventor of the world's smallest receiver (1854). The tiny set is built on the shaft of an ordinary straight phone through Europe. The phone has been placed at radio America.

Another object of this club is to make it declasses for women to smoke. This is a good idea. Smoking is the only thing that man has left to let his children know that he and their mother aren't brothers. Mothers bob their hair, wear trousers, cuss, and play the rugs. If we let them smoke the future generation will calling both their parents papa. Some wives have already stolen their husband's razors and they have an eye on their hair tonic. Speaking of ladies attire, if skirts are again dropped to the ankles for pitying the poor blind man, he won't be missed much. Of course the burlesque show managers will be happy. There has been an awful drop in this kind of演出 attendance the last few years. Why should men pay to go in a theatre when they can see the same thing on the street for nothing. We don't wish these society dances any luck in their undertaking, but personally we are in favor of the freedom of the Secs.

BEEBE 1659 Dean Street NAZARENE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH The Rev. Dr. Henry Hugh Proctor gave a New Year's message on Sunday morning in celebration of the sixth anniversary of the sermon. The New York Times quoted the sermon as follows: "On this the first of five classes, we have two great divisions of time, the past and the future, the past is God, the future is God; anybody can change the future. The past is like adamant, we make of it.

I MONEY. Why Lincoln University Can't Have Her Cake And Eat It Too By Afro Sports Editor With the reopening of Howard and Lincoln, after the holiday season, the Athletic heads of both universities will resume the discussion of the Thanksgiving Day game and the football game, with members of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Lincoln can not eat her cake and Lincoln cannot eat her cake and the Pennsylvania school between the devil and the deen blue sea. Lincoln wants the Thanksgiving Day game because it is a big money game, and Lincoln other athletes at the school. On the other hand if she plays Howard, she will be barred by the C. I. A. team. If she will be limited to clubs and Y. M. C. A. teams, a poorly conditional team on account of keen competition will back him to the hands of the Bisons. Lincoln alumni are about evenly divided on the question but consciously want to take their back to the C. I. A. team. If it weren't for the big gate at the Thanksgiving game the question would have been decided long ago.

She will have her own bowl this year and is well off financially, but no other game will mean as much to grid followers as the clash between Lincoln and Howard, so Howard has as much to lose as Lincoln. A Tuskegee-Howard game in New York wouldn't pay officials. Tuskegee is a secondary and trade school and as soon as the Booker Washington boys found out that Howard was using former Tuskegee men to beat Tuskegee. we would have that same eligibility rule stabling us in the face again. Howard says the C. I. A. A. will have to come to them make a public apology and read just certain rules to suit Howard. Of course the Association want, and that's that. Howard will remain out of the Association, unless she gets off her high horse and come to earth to mingle with men. The C. I. A. A. is run by humans and they are likely to err. Some of the rules could be stretched a point to fit Howard and if these representative men of ours can't get together and adjust this matter to the satisfaction of all concerned, why the Lincoln can have her C.

Sweet, of Detroit, heroes in the celebrated Sweet Segregation Case, were the principal attraction. Th Sweet were presented by Robe W. Beggall, a field secretary of The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, whose plea for a united front against segregation in all forms brought almost continuous applause from the crowd. Dr. Sweet, whi ols of West Indian parentage, is a physician. He was educated at Howard University and abroad. How he purchased a home in kind white neighbors, his home attacked, and a member of the mob slain, was vividly told. The first trial of Dr. Sweet, who, with nine others, including Mrs. Sweet, was indicted for murder, resulted in a mistrial. The case comes up again this month. Attorney Linwood G. Koger, chairman of the local branch of the Association, accused the jim crow seating arrangements for the Roland-Hayes concert at the Lyric, Thursday night. Hayes, he said, manifests unexpectedly poor judgment in consenting to sing at a concert where his own people are jim crowed. "I know Roland Hayes. He is a personal friend, but in coming here to Baltimore he has not been any help to our people." --- The Afro-American—South's Biggest and Best Weekly When things had the quiet in the Western District, Good Hope Hall can always be depended upon to furnish a few fines. They started the New Year right. No arrests were made in spite of the heavy crowd. The Pinfield Hall is the get of the Southern District. The other areas are sent out. New Year was surprisingly quiet in this vicinity. Addison Pinkney and his boys packed them in until the wee hours of the morning, with their jazz strains at the house. The Madison Kled, Reggie Tanner and their associates kept gloom from getting a foothold at the Royal Palace. Taking it all in all, it was a very happy New Year. CHARLOTTE HALL, MD.

CHASSON OPTOMETRIST 1540 Penna, Avenue Opp. McMechen St. ROYAL One thousand and two hundred persons filled the seats and overflowed into the aislowes on Monday night, to witness the first Baltimore presentation of "Steppin' High," the Los Angeles musical that 18 months ago began as a musical, and has now almost completed a transcontinental tour. Curiosity caused many to come to see whether the Coast could equal the East in producing entertainment. At the conclusion of the performance the concensus-of opinion was that the Eastern mark fell but little short of being equalled. "Stopping High" is not a departure from the established plan of musicians of today. There is, of course, the semblance of a plot, that is not allowed to interfere with good individual and ensemble singing, clever comedy and dancing. However, the customers are the judges of the excellence, and they affixed their willing o. k. throughout the 'evening'. Billy Plerson, the producer, is a dead ringer for "Speedy" Smith, his notated appearance and speaking tones are identical with those of the "Seven-Eleven" comic. Despite the lack of punch to lines at several periods, Pierce is as amusing as any of his Eastside friends, and that for Billy Higgins, the ace of the flock in these United States. "Dike" Thomas is "nobody's fool either, when it comes to carrying the comedy banner. He is a clever foil for Plerson, and not one lota less polished in his art." "Spitlin' like a dumb kit" it are not wicked. I suppose, but they are not used in the best theatrical circles anymore. Hazel Meyers, leading woman, suffered somewhat from the many blues singers who have about fed the town up on the "indigues." This is said without prejudice to the artist, who is on a par at finesse in delivery of an overworked form of composition with any who ever appeared here. "Sweet Georgia Brown" and "Try My Cabbage," because of their familiarity to the audience, did not cause any particular furore. Later in the evening, Miss Meyers fared better. The presence of the singer is good, and her trans-footlight contacts are appealing and successful. She also tipo her unfortunate choice of songs. An unprogrammed customer in a box, caused much merriment in front and on the stage with the most infectious laugh heard. Professional training of the artists was sorely strained in preventing themselves to miss cues and to be otherwise concerted by laughing at the volunteer entertainer on Monday night with Pierson and Thomas, gave up, and "lauded right out of my mouth."
