A joint meeting of pastors of both races was called at the installation of a white department for the purpose of laying plans for a city-wide interracial evangelistic campaign and was the first of a proposed series of meetings designed to develop a work team of volunteers colored churches of the city. Hlts Snaz The meeting hit a song when plans for luncheons for groups of workers were discussed and it was found that the minister of finance had variance as to conditions under which the affair was to be conducted. The general plan called for district workers from the churches who would work out from headquarters in the various districts. The hitch came when some pastor inquired with the minister involved any plan of segregation. It developed in the discussion that lunchees were to be served and that these were intended to be served by C. S. Church pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church, and others objected, stating that they could not afford to take any segregation plan of Christianizing the city back to their congregation. To this the Rev. David Hughes, white, pastor of the Abbot Emmanuel Church, said that "there was a social side of it when it came to eating and that he knew the women in the church would joint lunchmeal and that he had to choose between the sentiment of his congregation and the cooperation with the colored brethren." Following a discussion a committee was appointed to look into the family. Those of our group attending the meeting included the Revs. C. Harold Steenman, R. F. Custon, R. H. Thomas, of Trinity A. M.

C.—All foreign diplomats assigned to the United States would be stripped of their "diplomacy" with such an enforcement of the Prohibition law under terms of a bill sponsored in the Senate yesterday by Senator Cole Blease, (D.), South Carolina. To its broad terms the bill would apply all American laws to foreigners whether they were temporary visitors here or sent in an official capacity. The bill would also be made to apply to the foreign embassies, legations and consular offices just as they do to the homes of Americans, though Blease made no statement when introducing the bill, it was apparent that it was linked to its recent attack upon diplomats, who, he charged, were "feeding quotient American women, doling them and keeping open houses of ill fame." Protests were heard from the Latin-American embassies when Senator Blease criticized the manner of violation of the prohibition law. Attaches of several of the embassies were in the cate with liquor in their possession, but were not taken by the diplomats.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL Rules Of "Class A" Grading Explained-Lincoln, Morgan, Union, Shaw And Fisk. Also Given Highest Rating. Howard Eligible For "Class A" Long Before Durkee Became President Now that our "Big Borthe" is leveled right at Dr. Durke's veracity, we are going to shoot with accurate evidence of the verdict judgment on the casualties. It would be to the everlasting shame of Negro intelligence of Dr. Durkee were permitted to put over his own truth. In touching upon the last strike of Howard students, Dr. Durkee explained to a Massachusetts audience last summer that the students asked him to qualify marks that had beer made. He declared that the faculty, refused and that the students went on a strike in protest. He said that he would return to their duties or face suspension, and within the hour practically every student had returned. He stated that the students were objectionable to and was in no way connected with causing the strike Nothing To Do The actual facts are directly opposite to this representation. The faculties were framing the drastic rule that led to the strike. Dr. Durkeen himself framed the drastic rule that passed by his well lubricated board without consultation with his faculty Members of the faculty saw dynamite the rule, but once given to them to operate they were determined to operate it. What actually happened was that he enforced the enforcement of the rule for which he himself was wholly responsible, the faculty held his feet to it. This action middle name to "Stundend." He is as frightened of his students as some of the teaching slaves are of him. He hurled him, hurling all kinds of threats and epithets at him, and inscribing the same upon the walks, he begged then to let "the old man" settle it. His plan was to brow-beat his faculty to reschedule the rule, but they took the stand that Dr. Durks and the trustees had made the rule, without the faculty being with them so up to Dr. Durks and his board to rescind the rule. As long as it remained in existence, the faculty would enforce it. It was this determined policy that led the faculty helped to bring on the "economic proscription." The remarkable statement that the students were given an hour in which to return and that they returned with the faculty to indicate a strong president, whose word is law; but this is a rank falsehood, which can be proved as such by the Howard students themselves, and by the faculty and the public press. Leaders Called In When the students threatened to strike, Dr. Durkee called some of the students to the blame on the faculty, and then boarded a train for Boston to conduct the commencement exercises of the Caterpillar strike broke out, he was in Boston, far from the maddening crowd. This was either May 6th or May 7th. The essecs were out simultaneously with the Curry commencement exercises, at which time Dr. Durkee was on a Boston platform indulging in his favorite He took his time returning to face the music, and left shortly afterwards he left G. C. Curry engagement, but did not advise any member of the faculty. When, however, the sad message required his absence from the faculty, he asked their advice as to the propriety of his leaving the city at such a crisis. The faculty in unison told him that he should go to the New York and to go by all means. This is merely mentioned to show what an actor this president is and that he is willing to take the hour of his was. As a matter of fact, the strike lasted for over a week, and any truthful citizen who resided in the building at the time would have been in situations that do not admit of lying and this is one. Caused Strike The fact is that Dr. Durkee's arbitrary rule caused the strike, as his arbitrary ruling caused the previous strike and was about to cause another. He was a long-time hour's time. He willfully distorted the facts to those credulous he did not end the strike at all. A few public spirited citizens took the strike and brought the struggle to an end. Another myth related by Dr. Durkee refers to the wonderful advancement made by the professors in security at Howard University, and went to Howard" boasted our distinguished friend, "there were only two men who had Ph. D. degrees and only 15 with Master's degrees. Today Howard们 have Ph. D. degrees and 22 with Master's degrees. Can't Outcount Him Since it is absolutely impossible to outcount Dr. Durkee, whose training in ejection included rapid calculation of velocities of fabulous numbers that the public may be able to check up this obsequent misrepresentation. Lot us take the Masters first and give as the source the University Catalogue of 1917-18, the last year of Dr. Newman's administration, page 44 ff: Masters Listed Kelly Miller, A.

He found the following professors with Ph. D. degrees: E. E. Just. Prost, Professor of Philosophy; E. R. Schuch Professor of Geology; McLeod Harvey, Professor of Psychology and Mathematics; Prof. Lecke had finished his requirements for his doctorate, but he received his degree at the beginning of Dr. Durand's tenure. For this reason he is not listed here. Seven Doctors In the Howard Catalogue for 1924-25, there are seven names bearing a Ph. D. degree and listed among the composers. Among these seven appears the name of Prof. Locke, who has since been set adrift for want of funds and is now in a swallow of truth serum before he made his speech in a section of the country where he did not think for a moment the real truth would follow him. Pursuing his favorite method, Dr. Durkee has declared that the Howard Alumni have never asked him to resign, and that he within, joining with others without, tried to get a resolution drawn, asking him to resign. "Let me state that I never been asked to resign and that I have never refused to do so." 15 Alumni Associations At the recent hearing of the Board to Trustees, Mr. Dyett, counsel for the Alumni, presented resolutions from the Board to the faculty, demanding Dr. Durkee's resignation. They were from Providence, New York City, Atlantic City, Hartford, Boston, St. Louis, Chicago, New York City, Toldeo, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Columbus, Gary, and Washington. These centres represent large numbers of Howard men and women and indicate the general unrest throughout the University of Chicago. The association has demanded Dr. Durkee's dismissal and has filed charges to prove that he should go. Banks On Trustees Dr. Durke cannot be waiting for the alumni to tell him to go. He is sure that he will ever ask him to go, so he is assured of a life time job unless there are other reasons. After we finish exposing his truthful statements, we shall give more attention to rather drastic means of forcing him to him again: "After I had worked to make Howard a grade A University, I applied to the rating board of the land, where race prejudices is strong, to rate us. I told him (the examiner) to go through everything and be as thorough as examination, Howard was made a grade A University. That means that it has a standing in the educational world, such universities as Yale and Princeton. Here are the actual facts and the reader may draw his own conclusion. He stands as Yale and Princeton, except on paper, in the educational world. It is no reflection upon Howard University, but a compliment of his ignorant president. College Association The Association of Colleges and Preparatory Schools of the Middle States and Maryland, at its annual meeting in 1919, defined a definition and standards for colleges of liberal arts and sciences and established a commission on institutions of higher education in the state, the governors began in November, 1919, which means that there was not in existence prior to this time the machinery for making the decisions of the administration. Howard would have been admitted at any time during the administrations of Presidents Thirkfield and Newman. The definition and standards adopted are similar in character to those adopted by other regional associations and other bodies interested in the same problems and are as follows: Eight Professors "An institution to be ranked as a college of liberal arts must have at least three time to instruction therein; must require for admission not less than four years of economic or high school preparation, or its equivalent; must be equivalent to the curriculum of four years of approved grade in liberal arts and sciences. "It is recommended that in interdisciplinary standards should be employed, with due regard to the fact that an institution falling below the desired standard in certain particulars may more or less good this lack by excellence in others." 11 More Standards Then follow eleven standards requiring a college year of not less than 34 weeks; at least one year of graduate teachers; a preponderance of teachers of professional rank; the number of teaching periods not to exceed 16 per week; the curriculum to provide for at least one year of college; the curriculum to have justifiable relation to the resources of the institution; adequate library and laboratory facilities; an endowment of at least $10,000 per present; adequate salaries; strict administering of entrance requirements; and satisfactory records of graduates. All A Grade It matters not how searching an examiner may be. Howard can easily live up to these standards. Consider the following: no reason why every well-known Negro university in the country should not make A grade; and in fact all the leading Negro colleges are in Class A, but the colleges in Lincoln and Morgan. They, too, have been admitted to Class A, but their presidents simply took a hard grip up and down the country claiming great glory for this paper achievement. Fisk is in a different zone, but he has been admitted to Class A. It has been admitted to Class A. Shaw enjoys the very same rating; shees Virginia Union University, a state college in zones in which measuring is done have been admitted to Class A. The A rating is somewhat like the B rating in nearly hearty congratulations; but the absence of it deserves severe rebuke. Nothing Durkee Did There was nothing that Dr. Durkere did to bring the rating to Howard. All his talk about the hard struggle which he had is his character. He did not rate that, but other colored institution had, or a rating that was not based upon paper, but philosophy. He did not give the public the impression that something great has happened to Howard through his industry is nothing but a big fat bluff. Let Him Explain Now is the time for Dr. Durkee to show the public how he made possible any condition that put Howard into a position where he was to get the recognition. Let him explain what he meant by telling the examiner to be as severe as possible when he asked him to answer "yes" to all the questions. The Howard University catalogue could have answered almost every question asked. Then, he tried to lead his audience into the belief that his administration has put Howard University upon an equality with Yale University. On that paper on paper all the colleges of any standing, in the Middle States, made Grade A. In this broad sense Yale, Harvard, Columbia, and are educational class, and so are Lincoln and Morgan. This, however, does not mean that the colored universities have the same rank in efficiency as their older and better endowed prototypes. Durkee Eloquence Dr. Durkee's eloquence on this point, which could not help from the public's swelling bombast: "But Howard University shall have the last word in education SOCIETY The Rev. J.

ISL GIVEN as long as I am at its head, no matter how or why, and in spite of everything. And this coming from a deereer, who was hurt for his treasure and his predecessors restored. The last word in education that we want Dr. Durke to give. How university can NOT hurt him that he has actually left Howard University; we shall feel that he has done something worthy of commendation. Until that time, we shall watch all his statements and expose them. These are but few of the myths that Dr. Durke has been uttered. Instead of calling them by their proper names, the writer believes in publishing the facts of their lives and the reader may give them a less classical name than "myths." No person following Dr. Durkee's tactics can succeed as a leader. Even if he were excused for his lack of pedagogical knowledge and experience on account of his inaccurate speech. Whether he purposely distorts facts, or he misuses the facts, is a matter of speculation; but the results are the same. He has given the impression that he is not on the most intimate terms with the truth. He has made statements under suspicion, and this is a grave misfortune for any man in public life. Temperate A successful college president must be temperate in speech and action. He must be honest and square up his conduct. He must not talk unnecessarily about his own accomplishments, even if he actually has any. He must learn how to lead by reason and understand knowledge and his contagious enthusiasm. He must enjoy the good will of his faculty. He must by all means tell the truth, no matter how embarrassing it may be to the university rests upon truth. When a college president loses his faculty, his students, and the alumni his usefulness is terminated, no matter how efficient he may have been, he must open to him and that is by way of an exit from Howard University. There is no more career for him at Howard His time would have to be given to someone else but against obstacles should he remain. The way out is by resignation: MEMORIAL BILL INTRODUCED IN U.S. SENATE Washington, D. C., Jan.—Senator William B. McKinley, Republican, of Illinois, introduced last week a joint resolution for the creation of a commission to secure plans and designs for and to erect a monument or memorial building here to the memory of George Washington, to fought the wars of our country and the late world war.

BISHOP FOUNTAIN IS SUED BY BRYANT A. M. E. Prelate Declared To Owe Publishing House $2,000 BRYANT GIVES MORE SERIOUS CHARGES Got Church Funds Illegal Montgomery, Ala.—Suit for $2,000, due the A. M. E. Sunday School Union, of Nashville, Tennessee, were lifted upon Bishop Penn, of this district, by Trai T. Bryant, secretary of the Union, this week. Debt grows on of the printing of the annual minutes of the conference of the publishing house, said Mr. Bryant. He added that he had exposed the Bishop's illegal procedure in collecting money from passers of Alabama. The Bishop had hit back by refusing to pay the bills already due from the various annual conferences and went further by ordering that no printing hereafter shall go on the public house. The case will come up in the second Circuit Court sometime in April. The exposure by Iren T. Bryant which Bishop Grissom was sent to newspapers by Bryant and broadcast throughout the state as follows: Let Fountain Answer These Questions Are you not stealing thousands of dollars each year, of the people's Did you not steal one hundred dollars last year in five annual conferences, and seventy-five in the West Conference, under the term “Conference Incentive” in twenty dollars stolen from five of the six annual conferences of the state last year, for your wife, acting as your private secretary, under the law (page 12) should one hundred dollars allowed you? Are you not the first bishop in the history of the Church to use your wife in stealing money? Is it not a question of these meetings or conferences' relating to school matters are more schemes to enable you to collect big "railroad fares," though riding on a free pass? Is not in nearly every conference leaving hundreds of dollars in the hands of certain men, which by various schemes you have them incurred after the conference's adjournment? To illustrate: Was not more than four hundred dollars left in the chairman's hands at the Payne Chapel meeting of North America for accounting has ever been made by you or that chairman? Did not a certain presiding elder in the North conference hand you ten dollars in cash brought from you the statement that you were not prescribing for your health, and didn't that presiding elders "dig up" another twelve dollars, in an effort to satisfy Did you not connive with Mitchell to have your sister, whose sole support you claim to have seen, on the floor? Did you not without jobs, given places on the Jayne faculty? Isn't it true that this sister has very little real training and that her (the in-film variety, such as yours)? Didn't you close Bethel College as a retribute to the laymen of Montgomery for refusing to entertain your big social meeting without cost for you? Didn't your dear wife, whom you claim is so interested in the poor people you accept, not pay three hours over the Missionary Meeting at Tuskegee?

Cutrer made the final plea to the jury for the offense and Earl Brewer, white, former governor of Mississippi, closed for the State. Mr. Cutrer made a strong plea for the acquittal of Cane and defended the action of Dr. S. W. Glass, sheriff, in not opening fire on the group of men who seized and made off with Coleman after the prisoner had been acquitted of the murder of Grover C. Nicholas, white, plantation store manager. The sheriff realized, Mr. Cutrer said, that the firing of a single shot would have resulted in the killing of a number of persons. "Moh law must be overridden," Mr. Brewer told the jury. The former governor explained that he did not appear as a paid lawyer, but had been "drafted" by the county bar association. "I come as a representative of the people of Conahama county to discuss the tragedy that has slapped our civilization in the face," said the former governor. "We have assumed the responsibility of carrying the burden of government for the prisoner and we must do it honestly and conscientiously." He declared Cane a member of the quartet that killed Coleman and that the man on trial was "dissatisfied with law and order." "If this continues it mean anarchy," Mr. Brewer said. Freeing of Cane and postponement of the trial of other members of the mob is taken here as an indication that Will never be brought to punishment.

AUDIENCE OF 3,500 TO HEAR HAYES SING Rochester Patrons Buy House Out In Advance Of Concert DIXIE SINGERS ARE IN ROCHESTER ALSO Writer Says Vocalists Are Possessed Of Notable Natural Gifts Rochester—Roland Hayes gives his second concert of the season at the Eastman Theater on Thursday. Striking indications of the popularity of the artist is attested by the fact that the capacity of the theater has been sold out, only stage scats being available. The capacity of the theater is 3,500. The Dixie Jubilee Singers gave four performances to crowded houses on Sunday at the Rogent Theatre. This house seats 1,600. Mr. Eastman and staff of the Eustman Theatre and many employees were in the audience and evidence of the splendid program of folk songs sung. Negro Best Spiritual Exponents A Rochester daily said in part of the Dixie Singers' appearance: "It stands to reason that the Negro himself is the most authentic exponent of Negro spirituals; and anyone who doubts this fact need only to hear the Regent Theatre group group performance at a folk engagement from the Capitol Theatre in New York. That his palms are justified needs only the enthusiastic response of such a capacity audience as attended the five o'clock performance of these singers yesterday. "Vocalists possessed of notable natural gifts, and trained ensemble singers, these entertainers show the public in general, we think, just how spirituals can be sung. As suppliment as they are the accomplishment of their peculiarly soft tonal effects, they are impressive chiefly for the very spirit of Negro music they interpret for the listeners."

But Arnold disguises himself as their chauffeur and when some distance away administers a sound trailing to Edward. The week-end feature is "When Doors Open." a drama that is worth watching. The show is a comedy about a marketing manager, so you may expect the best the market is in comedies. "Ten Commandments"—"Lost World"—Carey Yielding to the demand of patrons, the Carey management will play the "Ten Commandments" again on next Tuesday. To those who didn't see the marvelous spectacle at the first showing, they don't miss this screening. Never before has the show been through the Red Sea; and sojourn in the windiness been so vividly portrayed. The "Ten Commandments" is the picture of the century. On Wednesday, "The Lost World," taken from the novel by Conn Doyle, author of Sherlock Holmes and other novels, will be the featured experience. You'll shudder at the queer animals that lived before the dawn of history, the conflict of modern man with the apelike men of the jungle. *Bessie Love and Lloyd Hughes* are the principals.

Dunbar "Headlines" Newspaper Drama "Headlines" a newspaper drama, promises wonderful entertainment for Dunbar patrons on next Tuesday. Mother love and sacrifice, one of the most beautiful sentiments in the world, is the theme upon which the forceful story is built. The story of jazzy depicting groups of revellers in cabarres and in the luxurious apartments of the villain, Austen. In one of these, Roberta has willed spice on her dress and dares the host to take a shower bath with her. This he does, and we are edited by the spectacle of the two emerging from the shower, wringing wet, much to the amusement of the audience. The biggest scene is that in which Phyllis calmly steps from Austen's bedroom to face his wife and her raiding party, in order that Roberta may be compromised. This sequence is enacted without the theatrics and is tenely effective. This scene is rendered by Joyce as the charmingly youthful mother of a grown-up daughter. Her fears that age may come all too soon are well portrayed, and those sequences where her heart is breaking at the mistaken thought she is to lose Larry to her daughter are rich in aphos. Miss Joyce seems more beautiful than ever since her return to the studio. McGregor is a satisfying hero, and Harry Morey, an excellent villain. Virginia Lee Corbin gives a realistic interpretation of an empty headed happer, and Ruby Isabel is good in a bit depicting a divorce-seeking wife. "Stop Flirting" an amusing attraction will lead the bill, and on Friday, "Rose of the World" another absorbing feature. Comedies and serials, carefully selected, are a part of each day's program.

To Tell About Matt Henson Over Radio Admiral Peary has been severely criticised for having taken Matt Henson, his colored companion, to the actual goal—the North Pole, and not having taken one of his white supporters. Commander McMillan in his Radio Talk over W. J. A. Z at 11:00 P. M. Central Standard Time Tuesday night, January 21st, will tell why Admiral Peary, white, selected Matt Henson as his last companion on a trip to the North Pole. Around The Town Charles H. Tayler of 1920 McCulloch street will leave for New York during the week, to secure the latest metropolitan ideas in public amusement phases. Recently Tayler will be visiting the hospital for, hospitably, among the show folk who visit the city. Paul J. Harris, former violinist of the Regent orchestra, is now violinist and director at the theater. He received many congratulations from friends at his new post. All of the members of the orchestra are affiliated with the Musicians' Union. Vernon Hutchins, local entertainer, was compelled to return from the Roadside, Philadelphia, to perform a surgical operation. He will return to Quirkentown when he has recovered. Manager Tinney of the Royal seems determined to put the former Douglas over the top. A gold film screen has been installed, and the picture he has been brought up prefers his house to be known as a public institution, rather than purely a place for the presentation of the film. He is the judge, and that the house is always open for suggestions of improvement. It cannot be denied that the customers in the first five or six rows of the Regent like their entertainment in large doses. No matter whether a number of people are in contributing encores. Little does this little bunch of ardent patrons seem to know or feel that they are contributing to the overwork of the actor. Man the recipients of this reinforcement refuse to let it "Go to Their Head." 1 Bessie Smith is acknowledged by everybody to be the best and most mature of blues, in the colored race. Her success in vaudelle has been terrific. The demands upon her are enormous, and she would be appearing in fifty different cities at the same time. Bessie has never made a record for any other phonograph company. We are proud to announce that Bessie is proud to sing for Columbia. Harry P. Lipscomb, author of the Prince of Washington Square, is now busy on another novel, "Missing Daughters," which will leave the press in April. "He is a man of great deal with the morals and temptations of the younger generation." While ostensibly a sequel to the "Prince of Washington Square," is completed a discussion with the author of the novel. He expects to start work shortly on a comedy drama tentatively titled, "The Bootlegger's Bride," for Joe E. Brown, the featured comedian who has auditioned capacity audiences at the Martin Beck Theatre, New York. It is indicated that the celebrated comedian will be starred in the piece. Lipscomb is one of the youngest comedians in having his work published. Lucky Sambo At Palace Next Week This is the era of colored entertainment and the biggest one now touring over the Columbia Circuit is the all-new "Lucky Sambo" which is now New Monday matinee at the Palace. Julia Moody of Baltimore, is the featured feminine player and she is definitely playing besides playing in two sets and many of the ten big scenes. Then there is comical Billy Higgins, as droll a colored chap as ever made an audience shriek with merengue been given the bulk of the comedy. The best colored straight man on the stage is Ernest R. Whitman and in "Lucky Sambo" is given ample props and a prodigy of molish attire. Joe Byrd is another fine comedian and two other laugh providers will be seen when Arthur Porter and James Singing there will be a plenty. Three Dixie Songhals, a trio of Southern girls in specialties and vocal ensembles. "Red" Cassidy and Nina Hunter will be seen in displays of extraordinary Russian dancing. Jim Vaughn and his Jazz Hounds are talking machine, record makers and these 15 musicians are guarantors to be about the zazzled instrumentalists ever. And backing the principals you will find the famous Black Diamond, Speed Chorus, 18 pretty and eight fast stopping youth.

The dance was held at White Jail. "Pap over the Wesner," "Old Dan Tucker" and "The Girl I Left Behind Me" were the numbers used and at the call of the numbers by Virginia Reels, quadrilate and lancher.

The scrappy little Greek forward made one while in the air, and the lacrosse loop that seconded possible one had the freak marker. Lions' Defense The Lincolnads had a peculiar defense built around "Hip" Day, who had a method of holding the ball with his team in their own zone. This was to suck their opponents in to force play, then the whole team drove through the line towards the goal. The Greeks were suspicious and didn't fall for the trick. This system would be effective if the team holding the ball was in the lead, but the Lions were trailing and valuable time was lostwaiting for the victims to fall in their trap. Both teams missed opportunities to score from the foul line. Lincoln made five out of eight out of 19 "Herb" Keller added four points to the score by caging four free frees out of sl. attempts.

Morgan Starts Climb DUNBAR GETS EVEN WITH DOUGLASS HIGH Washington Quint Win Extra Period Game And Revenge Football Defeat FIRST HALF ENDS WITH SCORE TIED West And Calloway Score Lone Two Field Goals Made By Douglass Tossers Dunbar of Washington got sweet revenge for their gridron defeat last fall at the hands of Douglass High School by giving the "Ducks" a 13 to 9 licking on the floor of the beautiful new high school gym before over half of the student body and faculty Friday afternoon, but the visitors had to go into an extra period to beat the Douglass dribblers. Neither quint seemed able to find the basket in the first half. The session ended with the score deadlocked at 3 all. Douglass scored from the 15 foot mark when fouls were by the visitors. Captain Shera caged two while Wyatt sunk the other. In the second quarter Calloway drew a foul. Gibson made the free toss, giving Dunbar her first mark. Soon after a looper a doubledecker from behind hit the Dunbar took the lead in the third quarter when Cawthorne found the nets after his mates had crooked the ball and knocked by Wynn for the score again. Extra Period Franklin and Cawthorne chalked up one each before the quarter ended. With a 9 to 5 lead in the last quarter, Eugene West shot a caer from the sidelines, followed by another shot by Calloway that again locked the score at 9-0. The Dunbar team worked a fast passing game, while Douglas seemed unable to "find" themselves. Shoots was way off form, making only one free throw out of six tries. He had it in his power to win but could not arise to the occasion. Douglas West had excellent chances to score, but for some reason the ball was never passed to him. At one time he had the whole section of the Dunbar goal to himself, waiting for the ball that never came. The whole Douglas squad seemed unable to score, and the show showed in the displayed in previous games. Class One "E" Four lost a 5- to one "G" Three in the opener. NEW YORK WOOLEN MILLS 1107 W.

Nothing startling developed in the annual Meeting of the two baseball leagues last week so they will all lean back and wait for the opening of the season, which is only a couple of months off. Flowers And Greb Windmill vs. Windmill. That is only another way of saying Tiger Flowers vs. Harry Greb. Both are vertible windmills when in action so my way of putting it is not so far wrong. The scientific name for a windmill now takes a vague, because the discovery has been made, and the great scientific problem is no longer a problem. Harry Greb and Tiger Flowers are the two perpetual motion machines and any one who has seen them in action can testify to this feat. Windmill vs. Windmill. That is only another way of saying Tiger Flowers vs. Harry Greb. Both are veritable windmills when in action so my way of rattling it is not so far wrong. The scientific notion can make who have caused, because the discovery has been made, and the great scientific problem is no longer a problem. Harry Greb and Tiger Flowers are the two perpetual motion machines and any one who has seen them in action can testify to this feat. Plenty Of Action When these two fighters meet a couple of months from now, there should be a battle royal. Greb has stood off all challengers for a number of years, and Flower is the leading challenger in the competition. In the coming match, so there should be no dull moments when they finally get together in the squared circle. Chances are that the fight will go the limit to a decision, because nothing goes much of a knock-out punch. Both are of the jabbing type, depending on their speed and continual attack to bring victory. The writer has seen them in action, but will not chance a prediction on the outcome. Of course he is pulling for the Tiger to win. The fans are always wanting to see the champion dethroned. Thus it has been When these two fighters meet a couple of months from now, there should be a battle royal. Greb has stood off all challengers for a number of years, and Flower is the leading challenger, each of whom is a weighted match, so there should be no dull moments when they finally get together in the squared circle. Chances are that the light will go the limit to a decision, because politically powerful men of a knuckle-out punch. Both are of the jabbing type, depending on their speed and continual attack to bring victory. The writer has seen them in action, but will not chance a prediction on the outcome. Of course he is pulling for the Tiger to win. The fans are always wanting to see the champion dethroned. Thus it has been since the days of Formula 1. Anyway it goes it should be a good battle. It's about time Chick Suggs got a chance to win the bantam title. He has clearly demonstrated that he is of championship class. And, Jack Dempsey still sits serenely on his throne, master of all his surveys, so long as he keeps his glance away from the horizon on which the shadow of Harry Wills looms like a dark cloud to dim the happiness of his Royal Highness.

Pollard And Grange I have heard many people say that Pollard was a greater football player than Grange. Those folks are real football fans and have sufficient knowledge of the game to qualify as critics. They claim that as an all-round backfield man, Pollard had Grange benched in 1923 and again in 1924 for the University of Illinois Athletic Association, contributed 70 percent to Grange's greatness. Tobin and three or four great games during three years of competition. Grange ran wild against Michigan in 1924, against Nebraska in 1923, and against Iowa in 1924. He had other good days, but these were his best. Friend Tobin played up these three great days, and the world sat up and applauded. When Red failed to make good, nothing much was heard of it, so to Tobin must go a large part of the credit for Grange's greatness. I have heard many people say that Pollard was a greater football player than Grange. Those folks are real football fans and have sufficient knowledge of the game to qualify as critics. They claim that as a basketball player, he was better than many.

Tobin and three or four great games during three years of competition. Grange ran wild against Michigan in 1924, against Nebraska in 1929, and against Pennsylvania in 1930. These were his best. Friend Tobin played up these three great days, and the world sat up and applauded. When Red failed to make good, nothing much was heard of it, so Tobin must go a large part of the credit for Grange's greatness. One Great Game Pollard was unfortunate in that he played only one great year at Brown. But that hope will always be fresh in football memory. In that year, Pritz best Harvard and Yale, and many lesser teams. Not only was he the great and outstanding offensive star of the year, but he was almost the entire secondary defense of his team. The great work of Pollard in the Collegiate game, when he made almost all of his shots, was a great honor on Walter Camp's All-American team; There is no way of knowing to what heights Pollard would have risen and he played three years at Brown. Pollard was unfortunate in that he played only one great year at Brown. But, that one year will always be fresh in football memory. In that year, Pitbelt Harvard and Yale, and many lesser teams, were the best players in the entire defensive star of the year, but he was almost the entire secondary defense of his team. The great work of Pollard in the Colgate game, when he made almost all the tackles for his team, clinched for him the place of honor on Walter Camp's All-American team, known to what heights Pollard would have risen and he played three years at Brown. Newspaper Made Then, why the difference in the fame of these two players? It is a matter of publicity. Grange got the newspaper publicity and Pollard didn't. But Buth gets the publicity and Reggis Hornsey doesn't. Publicity is hot, or more than half, of a star's greatness. The man who gets it gets the money that goes hand in hand with publicity. Newspaper space means as much as playing ability. So Grange overshadows Pollard who is generally regarded as just as good, if not a better player. The Inadmiral Track Season is underway and some rare sport is promised the fans. The foreign invasion this winter will be formidable, and the home talent will have to go some to hold its own. Houben, the German, Hoff, the Norwegian, and Faunen, the Dutchman are all great athletes and should make good here this winter. Then, why the difference in the fame of these two players?

Dempse has not is more than likely he will "sign." Many believe that the Dempsey-Wills affair will never take place and the $25,000 Wills received at Niles, Michigan was a sort of a silence to keep Harry from worrying the champion with challenges. Dempsey shows a too ready willingness to "sign" to fight to be in earnest. At stated intervals, Dempsey bobs up in the most, unexpected places, says he wants to fight, "signs" on the dotted line, gets a lot of free advertising then goes off to make moving pictures. Poor Harry has been chasing the elusive champion for nearly five years, and half way around the world, but when he thinks he has the bout fixed and the title holder cornered, "Dempsey" signs, laughs and goes on his way rejoicing at having evaded an embarrassing position. The State of Pennsylvania has asked Dempsey "as a patriotic duty" to fight Wills at the proposed Sequicentennial celebration in Philadelphia next year. Dempsey has not acknowledged the invitation but it is more than likely he will "sign." BAD BASKETBALL PRECEDENT.

The fair moundstairs' last name is shrouded in mystery, but she has been called Calkins, Carter, Corking, and a summer when she hurried three games at Lincoln City and Tower Hill, and struck out about two-thirds of the batters to face her. Old. People who saw her perform say she exhibits a marvelous out curve, but it was a nasty straight ball that caused her opponents to thrash the air. She hit 108 pounds, and doesn't know how she got that way, but she will admit she has been throwing things that she doesn't care for, she hair or care for the usual things a flapper wants.

The situation has been minutely surveyed by Trustee John R. Hawkins, John M. Kearns, and Edward W.

Dr. Woodson shows that of the 3,000,000 colored people then in the United States near the Pacific, are Maryland, 25,938; Virginia, 47,348; New York, 44,576; Pennsylvania, 37,930; North Carolina, 19,543.

Maryland feeling against the colored man was not as great as it is now. Planters often married white women's servant order to increase the population. Mixing of the races went on, so rapidly that the State Legislature passed laws in 1718 and 1729 pro-immigrant laws to allow slaves and support for the illegitimate mulatto children.

In the Civil War, prejudice against colored people began to increase. In 1805 Maryland prohibited colored people from coming in from outside States. In 1809 it was made a violation of law for a colored man to enter the state and in 1810 the race was disfranchised. In 1825 instead of imprisonment, colored people were for simple reasons beaten and burned out of the state. In 1831 and '32, Maryland tried to get rid of all of its free colored people by passing a law providing for the emancipation of the If the AFRO-AMERICAN had been in existence in 1835, and 1836, it would have been suspended. It that year the States would have held a high offense to print papers calculated to incite and create discontent among colored people. In 1832 people were prohibited from navigating vessels on the Cresapeake Bay. In 1842 the Legislature passed a law making it a crime for a free colored man to read abolition newspapers from the States. In 1843 the Legislature prohibited secret societies from meeting in Maryland.

Forum West African Reader Says AFRO Was Wrong About Autos and Traffic Court in Liberia To the Eighth article in the APRO-AMERICAN, headed "No Traffic Courts in Liberia," it was stated that there are only four automobiles in the Black Repo, one time, but that time is past. Here are the figures as they are today. Ridiculously few it seems to the American motorist, but consider the per centage of increase according to the best figures a valuable there were on January 1, 1925, less than ten cars and trucks January 1, 1928, finds seventy-four an obvious increase of over 740 per The principal reason for this remarkable increase has been the vigorous road building campaign conducted when there were four motor vehicles here, it was possible to run only three or four miles out of the city before the wheels of the car came in. Today the motorist has sixy miles of packed gravel highway, forty feet wide, leading interwarf from Monrovia. There are several other excellent roads by the end of 1928 there will be over three hundred miles of road in use. Practically no tools have been used in the construction of these roads. Native men with sticks and hand woven baskets have scraped down hills and filled in valleys. They have made bridges with hambone poles lashed together. Friends of the redoubtable Bishop Brooks will be glad to know that he is now a member of the monitoring to this section. The Ford Sedan which he brought to Africa in 1923 was later sold to the Liberian Ferry Company. He did not hold noble service. In August of 1923 the driver of the Ford truck given to the Bishop for mission work was sent without his license. This should disprove the "no traffic court" theory. Lorenz Graham, Monrovia, Liberia, West Africa. Dr. Bragg Suggests More Light and less Hcut in Fighting Discrimination and Jim Crow Mr. Editor: I believe that there are thousands of good white people in this city who are absolutely opposed to race discrimination and are opposed to the group of the people making up this community. In order to enlist the cooperation of all such, the question of method is of prime importance. The history will readily recall the fact that in his day, Thomas Jefferson was the most conspicuous leader in the propaganda for the abolition of slavery. With that in mind, he not entirely governed by passion, will do well to seriously ponder the following admirable advice of Mr. Jefferson: we advance and error recedes step by step only; and to do our fellowmen the most good in our power, we must lead where we can, follow where we can not, and still go with them, watching always the favorable moment for helping them to The brave white men, who almost a century ago, constituted the "Anti-Slavery Society." In the third article the constitution of the society "the Society shall strive to elevate the character and condition of the people of color, by encouraging their intellectual, moral and religious improvement, and removing any may, according to their intellectual and moral worth, share an equality with the whites, of civil and religious privileges; but this Society will never, in any way, countenance the oppression to us, by rights by rescuing to physical force." And in another article, this significant phrase is employed: "It shall aim to convince all our fellow citizens by arguments against the understandings and consciences." Is there not a tendency to fly away from the line of endeavor intimated above, and although not intended to us, there is not oftimes the spirit the mother of "physical force?" Our cause is too sacred to be hindered and restrained by the exhibited zeal, and more light upon the subject. George F. Bragg. Colored Babies Have 'Raised More Than $3,000 in the Tenth Crusade In less than 2 years the Colored Babies of the United States have raised more than $3,000 to fight for their own future. Such a thing was never before done in the history of the world—such a fight by Babies of the United States to pressurs of their future. In 1924 they about $11,000, and in 1935 more than $20,000. We do not know the exact figure, for in a few cases the share of the Branch treasury of the N. A. A. C. P. was not reported. This we call "The Tenth Crusade"—There were eight crusades in the Middle Ages and in 1922 the Colored Women of America conducted what D.W. Browne called 'The Tenth Crusade' and raised about $15,000 to fight lynching.

GAY STREET ABOVE BELAIR MARKET Second Semester HONEY BEE CITY MUST FILE ITS ANSWER SOON Court Sometime next week the City is expected to complete the Defense League's mandamus which would compel equalization of teachers' salaries in the colored and white schools. When the Defense League, through its counsel, Warner the Court, has filed the mandamus in Circuit Court No. 2, for equal pay for teachers, the City Solicitor demurred. The Defense League's counsel contended that the law the city had right to demur to a mandamus but must file with the court, an answer comprehending a complete defense. The defense counsel asked that the demurber be not received. Nor Stanton said he would not move far, but would give the City Solicitor 30 days within which to file his complete answer. This time will expire at the end of the month, the case will be on trial on its merits then. The Defense League claims that the salaries in the white high schools are higher than the salaries in the black schools and this is a violation of the State law which required equal pay without regard to sex. The fact that white male teachers are receiving higher pay in the Defense League contends is discrimination on account of color and sex as well. Mr. and Mrs. Etton C. Fox of 416 E.

Thoughts Of The Founder Selected from the writings of the founder of the AFRO-AMERICAN "There is nothing despicable in pursuing the calling of a waiter or boot-black, but there are other callings to which we should aspire; there are new fields to explore and other avenues of life in which to walk. These lead to nobler ambitions, but the men who walk in them must make ample preparation." The Interracial Commission Governor Ritchie's Interracial Commission appointed to study conditions among colored people of Maryland and report to next层 an important meeting Thursday. At no previous sessions of the commission has it been able to muster its full membership, with the result that agency organization likely to be done. Strangely enough, Maryland which has its commissions on racing, boxing, fisheries, live stock and a score of other necessary social situation important enough to grant an appropriation to carry out its work. Headquarters, time of one paid investigator, and a typist are essential, but unless they go down into their pockets to finance the work, or authorize a subscription campaign among public spirited citizens, that body might as well adjoin sine die and From Charles County this week came a letter to the APRO-AMERICAN, urging the commission to establish a system of that county. It might with property and profit lend its aid to a survey there, and make recommendations both to the County and to the Board of Education. The question of farming and farm reclamation might be opened, inquiry into the subject of police county, and here and in the counties, of health and sanitary conditions. To us, these subjects are as important as the conservation of fish and wildlife, contests and racing, or of disease prevention among farm animals. Koch, entoment German bacteriologist, told the tuberculosis in cattle could not be transmitted to humans thrice diseased milk. He averred they were two different types of disease. Everyone who has a high death rate which has a high death rate in the colored population has also a high death rate among the white population. Tuberculosis and white psoriasis a disease. Maryland can give its colored children full time education or it can rear drones and criminals. It can reclaim its farm lands with colored peasantry, or the acreage of villains. Its state can continue to decrease. It is a big job the Interracial Commission has before it. If it is alive to these situations. Those who think the commission is a part of Governor Ritchie or a misalliance with the state democratic organization are sadly mistaken. Not only are its members of both races, but of all parties. It has, if it can use it, unity for tremendous public goods. Rabbit Stephen Wise of New York ventured t assert in a recent sermon that Jesus was a man not a woman. He asked his city asked his resignation as head of the Zionist Movement in this country. Two years ago the AFRO pointed out today as a great Emancipator, set the slaves free against his will. He preferred to save the Union to abolishing slavery and said so many times that he termed the AFRO as raiders. Rupert Hughes, white, the novelist, said last week George Washington wasn't a goody, gonky man he is painted in history, but entirely human. He might not night or playing vars all day. Immediately her-worshiping Daughters of the Revolution characterized his life as vile, outrageous and ungrateful. Those who discover truth and dare to express it as they find it need new tools. The human progress is slow and tortuous. It took the world centuries to believe the Sermon on the Mount, but it took the world centuries to yet. Some of us still believe the sun moves and we ridiculed the man who first set the first auto and the first-bath tub. Writes The Afro fare and the Square Deal Pro-American Building, $28 N.

There are on view early paintings of our own Mr. Henry O. Tanner of Paris, admirable architectural drawings by Mr. J. A. Langford of Washington, paintings by Miss Laura Wheeler of Cheyenne, Pa., and portrait studies by Mr. C. M. Buttley of Tuskegee Institute, Ala. Mrs. Mesa Werrick-Fuller and Mrs. Mary Howard Jackson are sadly missed. It is, however, in the exhibits of youthful artists like those of Miss Augusta Savage of New York, Mrs. Dovida Hiltor, Mr. Fred Watson, AFRO cartoonist, which have an unusual significance. Their scultures, pottery, cartoons and plaques represent accounts in the face of tremendous odds. In Baltimore no school of art or design is open to colored folk. In addition, initiation, coursework, and schooling are required in the North account for their art education. Viewed in this light, the exhibits at Douglass HI School made an unusual appeal to hundreds of visitors who have not seen the art that the thing is imperfect, but that it was at all possible. The Federation of Parent-Teacher clubs is to be congratulated. Parents who have not seen the exertions of the exam children and pay it a visit this week. They should look at Miss Savage's conception of "Vengeance," "Mirth" and "The Mystery," at Mr. Taylor's presentation of "The Wheeler's paintings and Mr. Largford's public buildings. Then they should go home with the idea that appreciation of the fine arts and skill in them is as alive in music and the melody of a spiritual. We have only one Tanner, one Coleider Taylor, one Meta Fuller. One brown and black youth of the future must be trained not to excite them, but to surpass them. Why shouldn't they? Did they not give to the world the Sphinx and the pyramids, the Sphinx and the pyramids and carved their flattened moses and thick lips there? Is not the iron and gold work of Central Africans the wonder of a modern world? Exaggeration "There are 12,000,000 colored people in America. Ten million of them never read a colored newspaper." Bishop R. C. Ramson of Nashville, Tenn., in an address at Bethel A. M. E. Church, Philadelphia, recently. If the rest of Bishop Ramson's address was as inaccurate as the quotation above, we reasonably suggest that systematic theology and leave estimation of colored population and newspaper circulation to others more qualified to make them. In the first place, the habit of colored population of the United States as twelve to fifteen millions favors more of an attempt to be obsequent than correct. United States Census figures for 1980 show the available and the common knowledge of school children. These figures give the colored population as 10,483,131, allowing the usual rate of increase, the colored population is now 10,750,000. Of these 2,409,901 are illiterate—unable to read and write their own names. Clearly, these folk could not be expected to read any newspaper. 1,542,161 are children under ten years of age, also unlikely to be newspaper readers. This means that instead of 12,000—00 potential readers of colored newspapers, there are but 5,211,065. Now as to how many colored persons read their own newspapers: the AFRO three years ago discovered 280 colored weekly newspapers, not including church, school and rade, weeklies. One of these had a circulation of 200,000, another 50,000 and several between 35,000 and 5,000. Granting an average circulation of 4,000, it is clear that each week these 230 papers go into 1,120,000 homes. Newspaper experts estimate that ach paper circulated has four readers. This means 4,450,000 readers of colored paper. In the United States very week. Mr. J. A. Rodgers, just returned from abroad, declares that the average colored weekly contains more than a butter newspaper than the average weekly. He also wins opinion it ranks well with the average American country weekly. Any currency glance at the number and quality of colored press is convincing not only of large circulation but of circulation able to pull advertising. The next time Bishop Ransome makes this address, we are asking that he contact his figures and if he hares to look into the future, he may add that in the next decade circulation colored newspapers will be doubled.

Political observers in Washington report the Republican administration embarrassed because colored lobbyists are urging them to pass the leaders, observers say, fear the injection of the race issue in a senate where their majority is so scant.

Tuesday afternoon, just after I wrote you, there were 3 more votes and roll calls in the Senate, making a total of 22 in all exclusive of the opening day, out of which Senator Weller was absent $2 per cent of the time. The yea-and-nay on Tuesday afternoon was on the sitting of Senator The Republican organization in the Senate was defeated by a vote of 41 to 35.

John Phillip Hill, Congressman 3rd Maryland District. One of the Topics to be Considered by the Interracial Commission Will be this Very Thing To the Editor: I read that the Interracial Commission expects to meet January 21. I shall be very glad if you will call to mind the needs of our rural people in education is trying to reach the children in this part of the state and we are doing it through Extension Services. We are now operating a truck to transport children to school. These children would have no opportunity in school. If we did not do this. This means of transportation would truck large enough to accommodate the children who wish to come. If this meeting you could interest some of the other members of the facilities helping us secure facilities for our children. I shall be very grateful. Our whole plan for work here is in the direction of Rural Life. We wish to train our residents in their phones in the rural communities and work for better conditions. Victor H. Daniel, Principal Cardinal Gibbons Institute. Fincoln University Professor Cites Most Important Events in Past Year I cannot think of any great outstanding fact in the Negro world for 1925 that deserves especially to be mentioned above all others. There is a great need to be more of more than unusual value to the cause of the Negro. The first of these is the marvelous success of the Hampton-Tuskegee Campaign for funds, which will be used to support the Negro education is not dying out in this country; but rather that it is an incoming tide which promises much for the future. The second is the wonderful and wonderful success of Roland Hayes as a singer. This is not simply a personal triumph; it is an achievement of which the whole race is傲慢. And far more than this it is a great success of Roland Hayes in surprising a realization of the power and talent Inherent in the American Negro. After all, sentiment is one of the greatest problems in the problem, and Mr. Hayes has sung his whole into the many whose heads are impervious to arguments, such as he is one of the best assets of the race. Robert M. Labaree. Professor of History. Lincoln University. Mississippi --- To the Editor: The Afro-American—South's Biggest and Best Weekly Why Doesn't He Hit The Iron While It's Hot SEGRECATION SUPREME COURT THE RACE FRED B. MAISON. This Reader Admits Good Effects of Kolland Hayes' Appearance Here Released by the Method Employed to Obtain Them He Prefers Art to Propaganda Mr. Editor: If Roland Hayes did not appear in Atlanta, Washington and Baltimore under the auspices of colored leaders, he is grossly unfair that he should be held in the least responsible for the seating arrangements at his concerts in these respective cities for the reason that he lacks the fairness of opportunity and for services commensurate with our pay, and I have no doubt but that the demonstration in Baltimore last week was its good effects, but why day Hayes? Are we not over-sensitive, Mr. Editor? If we go to the Lyric and accept the Jim crow situation for something else, why should we contend for nox seats and orchestra chairs just because a Negro is singing? Are we not reaping the seeds of our own success by using the condition of all other times? Poland Hayes is no longer an individual, musically speaking—he is an institution. The singing of Poland Hayes, in itself, before southern Poland, will do more to help our group than all the fighting that would be done in a decade. The sweeping statement made by a reporter in last week's interview with the author "become overly an outcast, who betrayed his vace for gold" is a shocking misrepresentation of facts and an injustice to this celebrated singer. The writer fully agrees with Dr. Martin Locke, the author, rather than the author should be the object of Negro literature and Art. Hayes is wrapped up in his art. Let him have as his objective BEAUTY and let propaganda go to the winds. He will be a master Hayes and the greater beneficaries. Danyl Leman Ridout, Princess Anne Academy, Princess Anne, Maryland. AFRO'S "Official Critic" Admits He Paid to be Jim-crowed and Liked It To the Editor: I hold no brief for Roland Hayes, unfortunately. I wish I were big enough to so represent him if he needed a defense. But sure. He was the most intelligent last week considered the leading colored weekly of the country fell rom grace when it failed to feature and land the attention he reached the magnitude that Roland Hayes has attained. It must be that it is considered the journalism to be opposite to current opinion. The APO is a fine journal. But the leading journals of the country would not overlook such a star as Hayes and surely would not detract from the front page publicity as was given Mr. Hayes last week. Further, it was said that no self-respecting person could be to him-jim-crowed, surely the whole society of our race must have fallen from our esteem for in the great number that attended him, that could rank tightly with your paper under the circumstances. Doctors, lawyers,achers and postal employees, intelligent people for the most part, About the recital, the whole audience, those that were jim crowed and were not self-respecting along with the musicians, he echo the wonderful genius of Mr. Hayes. He held us spell bound and left us gasping for more. Surely he is a power for good to the race, much more so than the APRO can ever be. Can you not appreciate his worth, or are you envious of his place in the sun? The Official Critic of the APRO, C. Theodore Thomas III, Carey, WITH WILL:AM N. JONES in dedicating their magnificent million dollar home here Sunday the Knights of Columbus set the club for "creedless" and made a plea for the broad-minded toleration of the religious beliefs of all people. This coming to closely bind the knights of the Jewish thought as expressed by some of its outstanding rabbis recently, gives promise that we are heading towards one common religion for all. —Religious differences have been at the foundation of most human prejudices. Even -back of the disenchantment of the world -part into different sections of the world and cause them to develop different races and different languages, was religious creed. —The kingdom been a more forward step if the Knights of Columbus had added "a wider racial tolerance" to their liberal announcements, given even in this direction. The Catholic religion has always been distinguished for its organized efficiency and practical work. Here Barmain spends much time and effort as a religious organization on Baptist child welfare than the Baptists, and on Methodist child welfare than the Methodists. Because of this, it is passive on some of the great fundamental teachings of Christ, as for instance a practical application of the Brotherhood of man. It is in actual practice that Christians FOR if not WITH all races. The most soothing thing about hard work, said a laboring man to this writer this week, is the feeling of being able to rest a while when it is all done. When you think of it few people can sit DOWN IN PEACE AT ANY TIME IN THEIR LIVES. You can be honestly for his living, saves wisely for the sure old age that is coming, and can look the whole world in the face with the feeling that he has done something useful and happy, CAN SPEND HIS OLD AGE IN PEACE. HE CAN LET THE REST OF THE OTHERS who have used their superior intellects to 'heat the races of life', chael their fellowmen out of their share of the product of toll, may horde their misery in PEACE. Just as we end the day's work, we all some time or another end our life's work. We should look forward to the time when we can retire from few years of real rest. Every working man and woman should figure out how they will spend their time. Modern science and honest doctors have made it possible for every one to compute his or her life span. That is what an insurance company and a physician around to make an examination before the policy is issued: THEY WANT TO KNOW HOW PROBABLY LIVE. The end of life comes too suddenly to most of us. That is why so many helpless families are left destitute. Even despite the fact that every one in the world much beyond the three score years allotted us in this world, not one in a thousand has made the proper provision last five years of his existence. To do your doctor and have a good examination and have him give you an answer, be given it to your life. Religious Tolerance 0 Your Last Five Years On Earth insurance company. Then, figure five years in real real and peace. If you have done your share of the world, you will deserve it. Down In Mexico While one wing of our government is excluding the Japanese from owning farm lands out on the West Coast, our State Department is protecting the American capitalists whom the country say are shamefully exploiting and displacing its natural resources. However, has passed a law which is designed to wrest vast domains from foreign ownership and it is this act that has created new interest interests that they have produced Uncle Sam into action. Down there our financiers have been able to get hold of mines, plantations and other resources in the same process the Dutch used in getting hold of New York when the Indians owned it. Even our government has been accused of playing fighting with foreign companies in the interest of business and in a recent note our State Department threatens to withhold recognition and the protection it gives to American farmers to allow the exploitation so continue. SO MUCH FOR OUR DEMOCRACY AS WE PRACTICE IT HERE IN MEXICO, WE PRACTICE IT DOWN IN MEXICO. There are not only rich pickings down there where men work in mines for a mere pittance per day but also the rule, but it serves to keep the laborer in this country grinding out wealth at low wages because he must compete against the fixatives under the laws of demand. That is why you hear certain big governmental officials scream bollism when they make sure towards using the albor of the world against capitalistic oppression. When a Chinese cooole, who lives in Mexico, grows rice on a wage of 20 cents per day, THAT RICE HELPS TO KEEP STARVATION COUNTRY WHERE STANDARDS OF LIVING ARE HIGH. As long as there is any labor ground down under unjust distribution of wages, it will effect laborers every section of the country. The men who take large fortunes from human endeavor are often the ones who grabbing will decrease directly the general prosperity of the average man increases. Hence their effort to keep cheap labor and the use of human power by human if unjust. The most astounding fact about it is; however, the open and brazen man works to help them do it.

They found the heavy doors of the lodging chamber of the General fast closed, and the little party there-pon held a whispered conversation; suddenly a Negro, who was one of the party, thrust his head through the solid oor panel and grabbed the General and putting his sable hand over his mouth, he jerked the surprised leader out of. ed.

GE 2d Kelly Miller Says Kelly Miller Says Practically minded peo restraints of logical con mind never lets the formu and the accomplishment of conflicts with practice, so : Stricklers for logical a ed as impractical doctrinai Practically minded people are never daunted by the restraints of logical consistency. The Anglo-Saxon mind never lets the formuas of logic stand between it and the accomplishment of its purpose. When theory conflicts with practice, so much the worse for theory. Stricklers for logical adherence are usually regarded as impractical doctrinales. Prejudice And Logic In the American Mercury for November I contributed an article on the Negro as a laborer. I course of things that I thought we should have with the race problem, we often find that logic and good sense are at variance with each other. The editor, Opuntia takes the position that this article should think that the two can always be worked as a part of the same formula. Race prejudice is essentially unlearned in the very etymology of the word "prejudice" shows that judgment precedes investigation and analysis which violates all of the rules of logic and order. It shows that a demoniac possession. It heeds none of the rules and laws of thought. Prejudice Abnormal When prejudice enters the mind, readers flight. The victims of prejudice can hardly act naturally or normally but must flounder about for a feasible course of action as the circumstances under which they I live in the city of Washington which separates the provisions for education on the right from the plan of division among American citizens. If I should follow the logic of my belief to the ultimate conclusion, I may say for my children private education or let them grow up in ignorance. But my good sense steps in and causes me to violate the first twenty-five thousand dollars to help build the colored Young Men's Christian Association in the city of Washington, washing citizens refused to contribute to the enterprise or to have any relations to it on the ground that it was but the thin edge of the wedge of race To one such objector I asked if he felt that colored men would be given needed advantages at the white Association. That was unthinkable. But he felt that the encouraging of a Negro establishment merely postponed the time when all might unite and join in the same facilities. I conceded logically that such a belief or common sense. Let us take it for granted that every colored Young Men's Christian Association building in the country is frequent and active in the realization of the doctrine of democracy and Christianity. But under the circumstances by which we are environed who will say that they do not embody the good sense and good judgment. Perpetuates Distinction Every institution and organization in the land of a purely racial character and function is essential to illuminate and perpetrate race distinction which it pretends to despise. The National Negro Urban League falls easily with the Negro religious denominations which are a part of, and not a part from the white bodies to which they render allegiance and service. Grim necessity compels the Negro waiter to serve in hotels which exclude his own race and color. The Negro often becomes the proprietor of establishments which discriminate himself his own flesh and blood. Illegal Action We deplore the existence of such self humiliation, and we concede that the prejudice is prone to irritationally. I stood the other day and observed the erection of a magnificent building of a Negro establishment. The Negro carried carriers all colored. How logical and absurd it all seemed to be. And yet this anomalous spectacle was not more illogical and insistent than nine tenths of all our citizens. In the city of Washington we have a splendid theatre and dance hall where we also operates separate play houses for white and Negro patrons. The entire Negro patrons of the nation enjoy the jim-crow theaters wholly unconscious of involved logical absurdity. To cap the climax of the play interventions in these jim-crow theaters, we residential segregation. The process has become so common as to become unconscious. Lacks Consistency I have somewhere in my files a letter from a local celebrity protester calling for the first segregated theater in Washington. According to the prevalent judgment, this ardent advocate of absolute and unvarying ideals, very consistent and very wrong. Race prejudice leads to strange paradoxes. A distinguished colored man with a white hair board to declare that he would rather die than be found in the separate bathing pool which the city was in the act of providing. On being revealed that he had just come from the city jim-row golf links. Special Toleration On Sunday occasions, I have been invited to address white gatherings at their clubs or places of meeting where no Negro was expected to receive, except as a servant. I knew not that I would be requested only or that particular occasion. Neither myself nor any other member of my race would be welcome the day before or the day after a race. I refuse to render the requested service because the whole establishment was hypotheticated on race discrimination and prejudice. A colored man has not had the same or similar experience? Which should we obey, the rigid exactions of logical consistency or the practical dictates of common Baltimore, Md. Prejudice Abnormal A Practical Case Illegal Action Lacks Consistency Special Toleration Page *Bad Logic: Good Sense I was in Chicago on one occasion when the Federaion of churches in the city were threatened to exchange of pulpits between white and colored ministers. Dr. Black announced to his congregation that he had arranged the exchange of pulpits with Dr. White. He expressly stated to his people that he did not want him to the white church, nor did he speect any of the white congregation to follow their pastor to his church. It was to be the exchange of pulpits and not of congregation. This is a classic illustration of bad logic, but good sense. Impractical Doctrinaires Practically minded people are never daunted by the restraints of logic and reason. They mind never lets the formulas of logic stand between it and the accomplishment of theory conflicts with practice, so much the wores for the ory. The Hebrew range is highly varied, and the range of lives among Gentiles and do business among them, they keep open their stores on Saturday which is their day of work. Adherence are usually regarded as impractical doctrinares. Roland Hayes I notice running through the press a stream of violent criticism of Roe's decision to require abolition of race discrimination in places where he was to appear. Niega Negro race has never before placed such requirement upon another Negro artist. Bert Williams was in wide demand subject to the conditions he filmed. He engaged in all parts of the country where local distinctions prevail. He once over a week, as a part of my education. In those days there was no discrimination in the Washington play house where he colored colored people. I have not put my foot over the threshold. Unfair To Artist I fail to understand why any colored person can claim any right on privileges to hour Mr. Hayes that he has been performing. Why should they demand to be given unusual advantages because a Negro is to perform? If they do not like the seating arrangements, why not force manners to maintain a discrimination on general grounds if this can be done. If not, let them remain away regardless of who the artists might be. It is very unfair to impose upon Mr. Hayes the onus of fighting the race battle in communities where the people have yielded to local regulation by long acceptance. The artists, he can best serve his race through the ministrations of art. It seems to me cowardly to to a pussyneous degree to expect him to pass the fight for our civil rights while we sit supinely and by wait for him to admit us where we have not the courage to force our own way. A New Tact It is a new test that the race battle is taking. Booker T. Washington, DuBois, and Dunbar were the audiences where colored people were neither accustomed or expected to go. Is it that we wish to limit Mr. Hayes to those civil rights issues? Or are there differences where we may not follow? Or might it not be a wise philosophy to encourage our great musician to carry the ministration of song even to those places and communities where we may not follow. No genuine artist should be expected to interfere with local arrangements. He may or may not graduate harshly upon his sensibilities. But all of this should be left to his own judgment and discretion. Artist—Not Agitator Mr. Bergsen, the noted Jewish philosopher, visited this country some time ago, as a philosopher, and not only as a philosopher, but not see fit to embarrass him by racial limitations. Mr. Hayes is a superlative artist. He will serve his race to better advantage if we perceive to function before the world as an artist not as a professional Negro agitator.

Migrant Grandmother Finds Modern Sodom And Gomorrah Social Workers Run Across Queer Case Of "Younger Generation" Who Have Forgotten God BY LILLIAN LOTTIER Shaking with the mood of old age, hands knotted and gunned with over-mouth work, worn out with the battle of life and bowed down with sorrow, she sat there on a rickly old lounge. Tears ran down her wrinkled cheeks and she shook her quarring old voice. We had heard that there were children in the house who attended them as members in our own. Yes, there were children here, she told us, her daughter's name. No, her daughter had hatred in her then. We think her daughter would mind the children coming to our Sunday school? Ah, that was the question that brought the teacher and sobs as she shook a sorrowful head. "No one goes to church or Sunday school in its house," she said mournfully. "He lay around and up and carry on sompin scound-lous all day long. Do children play marbles and cuss and light from-morning" "night—and my God." Health Question A. M. J. R.

A humble home in the country in the city, married and married for pleasures, but a home where respect for God and church was taught and practiced. The oldest of several cities, married and married had several children of her own, but still lived with the mother and followed mother's God. Then came removal to the big city, where I lived in city life and standards, bad company, quick and perhaps eager assimilation of all the evils of poor surroundings. And so the days passed,—and God and church Such was the condition of affairs when the unsuspecting grandmother comes up on a visit. Her shocked eyes were wide, her indignation and even dire warning of certain punishment could not break the hold of a life which salivated and entered to the lower impulses of weak hearts. She was sparing, and even fearful of a "judgment" coming upon the child of her love and care, she plans to leave for the country to be with her south. She found it impossible to stay under such Sodom-like conditions. We listened, sympathized, cheered and comforted as best we could, and, in the end, indented at the pected "close-up" of life's many tragedies. All the Credit You Want. All the Furniture You Need.

They do mothers deem it right and proper to do this in public? Everywhere one sees children in public places, the frate mother, voice raised, berates Wille or Lilly loudly for some punishment but what the child clearly merts punishment, but whenever I witness an adult exhibition of anger and a justice that the child deserves punishment much more than the child. Moreover, does not the slightest good to create a frate mother? Here is a case. A young mother ob- pulsely of her fingerlings' thun in her small daughter's comfort, enters a street and mother slams it back; the mother, plainly over-tired, screams and erles while the mother slams it back; the mother, little girl continues to cry loudly until their destination is reached, to the mother, who is now in a room where This misguided woman would have advanced her own interests infinitely more than the mother, who would have to have her way, at the end, and save her corrections until later. It is but the mother's if the child is over-tired? Quite aside from that, a public reprimand would have burdened emotional capacity and, seemingly, more power to lungs and legs.

A&P POTATOI Diamond Crystal Shaker SALT 3 Packages 25c IE AFRO'S NEWEST S During some city jollification I took my daughter, aged four, to see the daytime festivities. Naturally the crowds and confusion were too much for so young a child and she became over-tired. In my experience, I failed to read the danger signals and hastened on to my unholing. My small daughter, by the way, had a business look and the quickness of a woman, dissimilated in which usually accompanied them. She desired a balloon and gleefully purchased a golden one that matched her hair. Unsuspectingly and peacefully we walked on the corner for a home-bound street car. Suddenly, pop! the hot sun had vanquished the balloon. The daughtering car began to move, and the cars, and the tears, I sought another balloon. Apparently there wasn't another golden one in the world and no color but that would suit the over-wrought baby. In a fury, she stamped her little feet and screamed. If a nice large and hungry earthquake had come along then and swallowed us up, I'd have been grateful, I think, because I had never had a vision of the problem. Sines I knew that scolding would only aggravate the matter. I bent down and put my arms around her. At first she struggled but I quickly whispered, "Look, look dear, everybody's watching us. No one else is crying in the street." It worked like magic. She looked up quickly and ceased exploding at once. I seemed the opportunity to divert her attention to the watering cart and the day was saved. I am aware that a scheme which might be of no use with other types might be of no use with other types However, I am sure that no boy or girl some do not feel the humiliation anyway, and those who do are usually made in any case, have pity on the ppleb. Miss Beth Lee, 1700 Druid Hill avenue, says that many a girl is so cleevier that she can get so close to a man that when he attempts to steal a kiss she just can't get away from him.

She is capable, efficient, understanding. She can drive a car, a mail, an airplane, a business letter, promote a business organization, manage an office, a political campaign, and preside with love and efficiency in the home. She has a sense of humor, a sense of humor, and the tender touch of a nurse, without fainting at the sight of blood. The girl of today bobs her hair; and it is not becoming to all of them; it is sanitary and it won' t come out. The girl of today wears, were too often unbecoming and harshly unsuitable.

ZION CHURCH HAD A $7000 BUDGET, 1925 Church Property Includes One Dwelling And Is Valued At $60,000 Per Capita Contribution For Past Year Was About $17.50, Reports Show The Pennsylvania Avenue A. M. E. Zion Church closed its year's work for 1925 with a disbursement of about $7,000 and an actual membership of about 400, according to the statement of the pastor of the congregation, J. McKenna. Reports for the year also give an increase in membership of 96 with about as many in increased average attendance. $80,000 In Property The value of the church property, including a parsonage is given about $10,000, which adjoins the church, is a three-story brick building. The ground, extending from Pennsylvania Avenue to a street and the width of the church and parsonage, is owned by the church and is a valuable asset owing to its long history of serving the officials of the congregation that alluring prices have been offered for it. Lake most of the local churches the actual working membership is about two-thirds of the membership list, the total enrollment being 600. Expense Budget The balance sheets for 1925 will show that the church had about covered expenses. Some expenses, however, were paid on standing obligations, such as salaries, conference claims, missions and the poor, fuel and lights.

JOHN JONES AT PAGE 390,000,000 PEOPLE, 33,000,000 GODS India Woman Describes Woes Of Her People To Baptist Ministers WHITE DOMINATION HAS ENGENDERED HATE Centuries Of Rapine And Misrule Prejudice Natives Against White God Declaring that among the 380,000,000 inhabitants of her country 33,000,000 individual gods are worshipped, Mrs. Sukunda Bunerjee, Christian Emissary of Calcutta, India, plead before the Baptist ministers meeting Monday for help in Christianizing her people. "My people are not in need of Western civilization," said she, "but the Christian religion." Whites Not Wanted Speaking of the identity of her people, she said they are not heathens, they are susceptible of religious indoctrination "but they will not accept it from the white man because the missionary, the plunderer, the philosopher, all come on the same boat." India, she declared, wishes to ally her religious life with the colored people of the world. Mrs. Bauerjee pointed out that India needs a religious renaissance to break down its crushing institutions, such as the severe caste system and the law compelling all girls to marry before they are twelve years old. "Centuries of white domination and rapine, she said, has corroded the Indian's heart against white people. WALLACE HEADS ZION BISHOPS New Orleans, La.—Bishops' Council of the A. M. E.

FORUM FORUM John Ferphy, Life Prisoner at the Penitentiary, Says He Hasn't Grown Up Hope of Securing a Pardon. Says White Friends Could Aid Him by Telling the Truth I am writing at this time, thanking the AFRO-AMERICAN for their interest in my case, and for the part they taken in having my case lodged in it. It seems that one man only is bent on keeping me here, and I wonder what his idea is? Perhaps it is because I is a part owner the boat on which he was committed the boat lost so much. If he had told the truth on me I would be out where I belong by now. The State's Attorney gave me a true statement and why could not Mr. Harrington. Would because he had so hatred and prejudice given that he could or would not give me what belongs now? I think that is it. I believe if Gov. Ritchie knew the true facts of my case that he would act and give me my pardon. There are white citizens in Cambridge. There will give him the case if I could get one who could get it out of them. This man, Wm. Hayth knows what he is talking about. Although shall not give up, as long as there is life there is how that is a true saying, and right, too. John F. Ferby, Maryland Penitentiary. "The Heavens declare the glory of God, and the Firmaments sheweth His handiwork." Psalms 19:1. This is the favorite Bible verse of John Robinson, 725 N. Carey street. It keeps his mind directed, he says, to the beauties and grandeur of nature. Next week's text will be the favorite Bible verse of Prof. Joseph Briscoe, Principal of the Vocational Department of the Douglass High School. WEEKLY SERMON RELIGIOUS ORTHODOXY The supreme test of true religious orthodoxy is right relationship between all individuals and groups of all races and nations. The prophet Micah said: "O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly and love mercy and walk humbly Robert E. Spear says: "The question of race and race relationships are the most persistent questions of the world." ships are the most persistent questions of the world. H. G. Wells says: "I am convinced that no more evil thing, no more evil thing, no more evil thing, none at all. I write deliberately—it is the worse single thing in life now. It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty, and abomination than any other sort of error in the world." When a religious expert asked Jesus to state the fundamental basis of justice in right relationships, he said: "You must love the Lord of all men, your whole heart, your whole soul, your whole strength, and your whole mind and your neighbor as yourself."—These two commandments sum up the whole law and the prophets.—"Therefore you must always treat other people as you would like to have them treat you." But he willing to justify his question, said, and who is my neighbor? Now, between Jews and Samaritans were so unneighborly that when a "Samaritan woman came to draw water," at the Well of their common ancestor, Jesus said to her: "Give me a drink."—The woman said him: "How is it that a Jew like you asks a Samaritan woman, like me for a drink? For the Jews have nothing to do with Samaritans." When he replied to the expert's question, as to who was his neighbor? How did he know who had shown pity on an unfortunate Hebrew who had been robbed and left; half dead; how had compassion on him, rendered first aid; then took him to a hospital and paid his bills and pledged support until the end of his troubles, while a professional priest and his assistant belonging to the Jewish race passed by and left him to die; then he asked the ex-convict, "What was your name?"—The man who wolfed into the robbers hands? He said: "The man who had only on him," Jesus said to him: "Go and do yourself." There we have the essence of religion expressed in right race relationships predicated on the principle of loving fellowship. "For even if I give away everything I own and give my up birth to women I love, I pay the up birth to men I love, I peace, Patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control, "Lose that and nothing else in life is worth white. This sermonic extract is taken from a discourse on "The Christian Spirit Darrow," by the Rev. W. H. Moses, D. D., Campaign Director of the National Baptist Convention. An additional extract will be given next week. If Parents will encourage children to look up and memorize it, they will prove a priceless heritage to them in after years. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Sunday, January 24th: JESUS AND THE SAMARITAN WOMAN—John 1:42 Jesus answered and said unto her, he was the best of this water shall thirst again; but whoosever drinkest of the water that I shall give him, shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him a water springing into everlasting life. The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither er come hither to drink; and he, Go, call thy husband and come thither. The woman answered and said, I have no husband, Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, have no husband, and he thou now thou hangs; and he thou now thou hust, is not thy husband; in that saidst thou truly. The woman saith unto him, Sir I person of God, prophet. Our father worshipped in this mountain; and where men ought to worship. Jesus saith unto him, believe me in the most, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet in Jesusalem, worship the Father. We worship you know not what; we know what worship; for salvation is of the worship. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and with the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit; and they that worship him, must worship God. I know saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ; when he is come, he will tell us that saith unto her, I that speak unto them am he.

ROBERT Funeral Directore Call VErtion 6016 Insurance And Loss Prevention BY JOHN L. BERRY "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." The truth of this old is nowhere better demonstrated than in the broad field of insurance. Twenty-five dollars deposited in a fire insurance policy prevents a loss of five thousand dollars, when property valued at that figure is completely destroyed by fire. For fire insurance policy insurance policy prevents a loss of seven thousand dollars to a motorist against whom a judgment for personal injury for that amount has been issued. One hundred dollars per year deposited in a life insurance policy prevents a loss of one thousand dollars for five years to the woman suddenly widowed by the death of her main support. The loss as in the last case may be an act of God and to that extent unavoidable, but insurance prevents or least maintains the most destructive result of the loss. Not only is modern insurance giving relief against the results of destructive forces but it is actually operating to prevent the very causes of destruction. The fire insurance companies of today are carefully trained and national publicity campaigns of fire prevention they are making cautiousness in handling fire a habit. By their export investigators inquiring into the causes of fires and advocating improvements in fire proof construction they are making a big reduction in the general health of the community. What fire insurance companies are doing to prevent destruction of property the life insurance companies are doing in equal measure to prevent loss of health and early termination of life. The life extension bureau of the various American life insurance companies are broadcasting the truth of health to every corner of our country. By means of periodic free medical examination for policy holders, free nursing service, health clinics, and medical clinics, these companies have added several years to the average span of life and health in America during the last fifteen years. The American insurance companies are destined to be the primary providers for the prevention of loss and the conservation of life and property. R. L Mays Quits Porters Union Chicago (By Telegram—R.

A robust, youth of perhaps 23 years of age slowly entered the Jim Crow coach at Washington, seated himself beside me, drew a dream book from his right hip pocket and proceeded to make himself comfortable. He was well dressed and roll of yellow bills in his pocket at intervals comme me that he was at least temporarily prosperous. "Traveling South?" I ventured to ask, offering him my morning paper. "Yeah," he responded, quietly. "Going back home," I guess. I followed up as I glanced at a headline which said that the mother and the father of living had brought about a Negro stampede Diselman. but he said, "Yeah," he answered as quietly as before. "How far are you coming from?" I continued, determined to make my uncommunicative companion talk. "Started last night," he said with AMOS HOKUM — " GOSH—THERE'S KELLY OUT THEIRE—ALL CORNED UP HE JUST MADE A RESOLUT LAST WEEK—NO MORE H FOR A YEAR—!! GREAT THESE RESOLUTIONS.

It is very rare that we hear of anybody slipping on a cake of bath soap in the street. This type of accident is rated very low, however, which is not surprising because we don't have but just so many Saturday nights in a year. or do away with steps altogether.

One report tells how a guy was overcome with gas and fell down the steps, and broke his neck. This should be investigated. It looks like foul play, everybody knows that when anything is full of gas it should go up. A lot of dirty work goes on in the home, especially in the spring of the year. Police should investigate, because we heard one dame say she was going to hang Portiers. Of course, if that is her husband well keep out. No man will ever be really safe in his own home until the rolling pin is abolished. Any wife caught with such an instrument in the house should be charged with having concealed weapons. Many people have been seriously injured in falling down the stairs. We will either have to make folls do their drinking on the first floor a smile. "Got him up in Philadelphia with the boys, an' bid to wait until this mornin' to buy an overcoat," he added, pointing to the good looking sister he had just jumped over hook. "You don't mean to tell me you've gone through the winter without an overcoat, have you?" I shot at him. "hardly," he said, laughing aloud. "You see, I've been a chauffeur up in New York State, and my request was to help you with the job; and when I made the last train yesterday I didn't have time to buy an overcoat; and its kinder cold down home, so Sally writes me." "Well, well." I answered perplexedly. "I tried to foreign further curiosity." "Didn't quit your job, did you?" "Sure," the youth responded quickly. "I'm on my way to Jacksonville, now." "coming back?" I quizzed, as the door turned down a page in the door. "Man laive, you bet I am," he replied, as he put the dream book back into his hip pocket. "And everything's comedic. Like Sally I had that last dream the other night I knew it was time for me to beat it to Florida," the youth said, warming up with enthusiasm. "Been up in New York State two years. Been going to night school studying electricity. Got my license last week. Got two dollar a week, beginning the first of March. Got four hundred dollars in the bank, and I am going down to get Sally now," he concluded, with a broad, happy smile. "But who's Sally?" I answered, as he looked at me for an instant as though I had hurt his feelings. "Sally—man alive. Sally's my girl. We're going to be married next Sunday night, and she's coming to New York to study millinery," he almost shouted to me.

Wires suffer greatly from opening tin cans. Men should make their wives leave their fluviers alone. Putting the cat out has caused untold suffering but if you use diplophone you would probably persuade her husband to take her home. Some women just won't take a hint. It is very bad manners to lie in bed and blow out the gas. In our family it was the blow that almost killed father. Many persons have lost their lives in the house. When they to their senses and realized where they were, they died from shock. "You can never tell what's going on behind closed doors," said a Baltimore Flapper as she pulled on a pair of slip hose. _ That is the truth, because we know of homes right here where they murder songs, shoot dice, rob castings, steal a march, and we know a lot of husbands who best their wives up every morning and pull their husbands pockets every night.

Jan 22 GOOD MORNING JUDGE The Afro Court Reporter Miller Wanted The Record Kept Straight William Miller faced charges of desertion and non support in the Criminal Court Friday. Mrs. Lawrence Miller brought the charges and she had to Judge. she said, "I been married to this man for sixteen years. Sixteen years that have been both long and miserable." "How does it happen that you just started having trouble with him as non-support?" inquired the judge. "You don't mean how come I am just having trouble with him your Honor," replied Mrs. Miller. "You mean how come I am just having trouble with him as non-support." Judge that is non-supportingness that why he just gave me one dollar in five weeks." "Just one word there please, your honor, just one word. What the woman is telling you is that he did not on my behalf. Miller interrupted." The words that she has uttered, have no veracity whatsoever. "Well, she says that I didn't give her but one dollar in five week and I gave her $2.50 for her and the children Christmas," replied the husband, and get him," said the judge backgrowing to a Probation Officer. "Anything you order him to pay is all right with me." Mr. Miller couldn't understand why he was led out so hurriedly. William Armstrong, 1433 Myrtle Avenue, found out Thursday that robbing Peter to pay Paul doesn't pay in the long run. Armstrong was arrested by Northwestchester police when a pair of old cuff links that had been pawned were traced to him. They were pawned in the name of Raymond Nelson, 539 Pressman street, but Nelson knew nothing of the transaction. "Tell me," said the magistrate, "how you happened to get these links." "It was just like this, your Honor," stammered Armstrong. "You see I used to live at Nelson's house and when I left," he continued, "when you left they accidentally got mixed up in your things." "No sir, your honor, you see I owed his mother $2.00 for rent and I just sold the cuff links to pay her." Oh I see, "said the judge, "well, you won't have to worry about rent for some time, the city will take care of that," $250 ball, please."

Ellington was arrested in Kansas City after a drug net had been set throughout the country and will be brought back here to face a charge of flintfamming James Payne, 444 Middle street, out of $600 by the old drop pocket book game. The alleged flintfamming occurred September 15, a forfeit after Ellington had been released from the penitentiary for flintfamming Mrs. Victoria Harris, Pennsylvania Avenue, of $1,000, her life savings. Is Dandy Crook Ellington belongs to the dandy class of crooks, wears shell rim glasses and acts the part of a gentleman. One of his pals, William Shafts, a more desperate character was shot to death in New York detectives following the job pulled off here against the Harris woman. But Ellington was apprehended and sentenced to two years in the penitentiary. He served his full time and was given his liberty. The number he pulled off on Pagan. It was the usual trick, the lost pocket book, the making of change and the slick get-a-way of the crooks. Ellington's escape was made easier in this last case because the shooter of losing the job was 70 years old, sent him to bed, and it was not until some days later that he reported the matter to the police department. Long Trail Following a long trail and at considerable cost to the police department in its efforts to break up this practice here Ellington was run to man, is the Kansas city. Get your man, is the stern command of Captain of Detectives Charles Burns, always in these cases. Detectives E. J. Dunn, Robert F. Porter and William Murphy have been assigned especially to this class a cases of the flindersmen in this country. Two years ago the AFRO-AMERICAN published a whole row of flindersmen cooperating with the police in its efforts to break up the operations here and for a time most of this class of crooks steered clear of *Ellington will no doubt receive a long term if found guilty. BURGLAR "GENT" VISITS AMES Before the shouts of gad halluhalts and forwent amends had fully dawn away Friday night following a successful revival at Ames Methodist Episcopal Church Carey and Baker streets, some individual who was far more material than spiritual paid a visit to the church's safe. Finding none of the official family or the care taker around this gentlemanly and discriminating burglar proceeded to he himself to such church hands as were contained in the safe. Fifty dollars seemed to be all that he needed and fifty dollars were all that he took, leaving the remainder undisturbed. The intruder was evidently a no- forthwith knocked off the han- vice (though he sought to give the impression that he was a professional, for after taking the money and combination disk of safe, even the plungers were even set for opening. This is what is puzzling the church officials, but the police authorities say that the "burglar" came from within, since neither windows nor doors were broken by the intruder. The Dev.

Mr. Watkins resigned from the conference, he would like to give up the property.
