EXTRA 35th YEAR Number 21 TO CHURCHES WAR, PASTOR'S BODY HELD NINE DAYS Rev. Peter Hayes Body Rests At Undertakers Until Court Acts UNDERTAKER FACES CHARGES IN COURT Health Department Says 7 Days Legal Limit Between Death And Burial BY ISAAC BANNISTER Washington, D. C.-While two churches growel as to which shall bury him, the body of Rev. Peter Hayes, Baptist minister has rested nine days in an undertaking establishment. Rev. H. Hyacus, who was the oldest pastor in the city, died January 18 in Gallinger Hospital. Mt. Calvary Baptist Church, a mission, of which he was pastor, observed of the body to President Weasley. Washington, 2053 Georgia Avenue, for embalming. Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, of which the dead pastor was a member, engaged another undertaker, but Washington refused to give up the corpse unless he was paid for his work already performed. War between two undertakers coined until Dr. Understaffers the Health Department interfered and summoned Washington to court to answer charges of keeping a corps of soldiers between death and burial. Maximum fine is $200 and 90 days in jail. Dr. Powrey refused to issue a bail permit to Understaffer Washington, and then them to the rival undertaker. He based his action on testimony of friends that the deceased had asked to be buried. Vermont Avenue charge his. Stopper should he prefer the larger church. It looks like Understaffer Washington is out of $50 and the table he kept in keeping it in court charges he must just for violation of the law. NEW MARRIAGE LAW IN VIRGINIA I Richardson, Va.—The state senate has given a new measure forbidding marriages between white and members of brown, red, yellow or black races. The law directs that no clerk shall issue a marriage license to any person of mixed blood, regardless of the race, to marry a white person, and a white person is denied the right to marry a person of mixed blood of any of the races named as being other than white. All persons who are not white are classed as colored under the law. This bill has caused controversy to lily-bloomed the way many persons have been parading themselves as white and have held themselves aloof from the colored people, have been denied admission to the schools as white. Many people have argued that the claim to be Indian in every way and they have gone to the courts to have their status defined. The mere fact that they have been rebuffed by the school authorities does not deter them in the fight they are making for their racial integr- If any person marries in this state and the man or woman is other than white, the offenders are to be prosecuted under the laws on miscognition and penetration and penetration of infractions of the law. The bill went to the committee for courts of justice for consideration.

RICH FREEDMAN FOOLS WHITE OIL GRAFTERS Chicago—Efforts of Okmuglee, Oklahoma, whites to be appointed guardians of the $150,000 oil lands of Jesse Bruner failed last week when Bruner fled here out of the jurisdiction of Oklahoma courts. Bruner applied to the Illinois courts and had James Hooper, a colored man, of his own city, Dr. William Chandler, his physician and his wife appointed trustees of his estate. Most of the oil production has been dissipated in bad land purchases, in Oklahoma and Missouri. The Bruner homestead, in Okmuglee County, has 13 producing wells, but it is sandy and not suitable for oil per day. The estate includes also six additional forms located in Tulsa and Creek Counties. Three brick buildings and a barn are the heart of the white business and residential district of Sapulca, all attest to the desire of white guardians to forget segregation of Jesse Bruner's black ward's money in Oklahoma.

D., will account for the action of those seemingly afflicted with what is scientifically called the inferiority complex, but what I am pleased to call the "Jim crow soul." Some people believe everybody else is better than they are. Others believe all white people are better than they are. These people buy at stores where they know they are not given first class treatment. They go up the back stairs and sit in sections of the theatres set apart for inferior groups. They do not feel that they are like other people and entitled to the rights and privileges others enjoy.

SENATE MUZZLE GIVES HOPE TO ANTI-LYNCHERS Gay Rule To Halt Debate On World Court Termed Significant SAME RATE WOULD AID DYER BILL Measure To Halt Lynching Filibustered To Death Last Year Washington, D. C. (Special)— If the U. S. Senate can halt debate on the World Court proposal it can halt debate on an anti-lynching bill. This is the view of advocates of an anti-lynching law Monday when they say, "The Senate adopted a debate and allowing each senator only an hour to debate the proposal to have the United States join the World Court." The advocates recalled that the Dyer Bill "to punish the crime of lynching" passed the House in the fifth Congress but was billed in the Senate, a prolonged nitus- saged by Southern Senators. Now they are planning to invade the cloture rule, the Dyer bill in the Senate. Republican Senators who gave up last year without trying to force the Dyer bill through will not be able to say this year that their bill will pass. Representative Dyer, Republican, said he intends to bring his measure before the House for its approval. His bill is now before the Judiciary Committee, where it has been spending since December 7 and is mentioned. The gag rule preventing unlimited debate has only been invoked once before, namely in 1917. Its adoption prompts debate in which the Ku Klux Klan was mentioned by name for the first time in the senate. Senator Robinson (D, Ark.) accused Senator Seward (C, Ark.) of having a "Kinnie Klug" on one arm and a Grand Dragon on the other, sheeted and hooded." The Ku Klux be said, using their influence, Senator Seward block the World Court resolution. HEARINGS TO BEGIN ON DYER BILL Washington, D. C.

With the assistance of such campaign slogans as "Kiss me till I am dead and buried," and "I will love you lovin' like you," she foresees her the glorifiedown of the Harlem cabrents. Here she is described as the woman with "them passionate eyes of her admirers admitters tell her that she could take her Saturday bath in champagne." If she act like lovin' him just a little."

C. LAW IS VIOLATED Says, May Teach In High Schools Washington, D. O. AFRO Bureau)—In its answer to the suit of Miss Mabel E. Jackson, of 1834 Ninth street, northwest, the Board of Education denies that Miss Jackson is being deprived of her rank and emolument as a high school teacher by the continuance of Miss Susie V. Jennings, of 933 Westminster street, northwest, and Miss Elizabeth D. Burrell, of 1711 Eleventh street, northwest, upon their duties as teachers of domestic art in the Armstrong Technical High School. Miss Jackson petitioned the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia to issue a writ of mandamus compelling the Board of Education to declare these two positions vacant and to appoint her to one of them as a probationary teacher of domestic art. Board Admits The Board of Education in its answer admitted that neither Miss Jennings nor Miss Burrell were qualified as a teacher of domestic art in the senior high schools.

The Board states in its answer that prior to 1916 considerable difficulty was encountered by the public school system in obtaining vocational instructors to teach trades and vocations in the public schools for the reason that the basic salaries paid to such teachers upon their appointment were greatly below their earnings if engaged in their trades outside the public school system. Took Examination December 19, 1923.

"Social" Secretary Quoted As Saying His Chief Has Resigned. Professor Waring Answers Durkee Charge That He Quit Without Notice. BY ALUMNUS Our recent article, printing the letter of the St. Louis Alumni and Lifelong Learners loved by other exposures last week has given rise to the question, "What manner of man is this Dr. Durkee?" Instead of hurling inexcavates at the students, we continue his easy-going and persuasive appeal to the self-respecting colored people of this country to form a group of the largest and best equipment institution of higher education. Our converts are multiplying weekly and we have no intention of suppressing the facts until our souls are Professor Waring In the list of professors who had left the university, without giving notice, applauded Dr. Waring, who, according to Dr. Durke's slipper enqueue, resigned on June 5, 1924 after a suggestion two weeks before his resignation in June, at the very close of the year, could not be embarrassing to Howard to press this point that St. Louis letter that these sud den resignations gave him great crimes to meet and master. From Downingtown These columns have already printed Prof. Turner's return to Dr. Durkee's mendacious representation and Prof. Houston's letter of resignation to Dr. Durkee, which he heard in reply to Dr. Durkee's myth Writing from Downingwood Industrial School of which he is principal, under: date of January 16, 1928 he replies as follows: He advises to follow over to keep out of the controversy raging over Dr. Durkee, but the inclusion of my name in the list of those who resigned from Howard with practically no advance notice is so clearly correct with the facts that I feel compelled to make an emphatic concession. J. C. Asbury "On March 20, 1924, Mr. J. C. Abbey, Secretary of the Board of this school, wrote asking me to come to the school to see what was inconvenient for me. He wrote me again on March 24, stating the terms of the offer. I conferred with him the first week in April and accepted the position delimited. In April" "I immediately on my return to Washington, during the first week of war and was granted an interview with Dr. Durkee and married to Pat M. Abbey's brother of March 24. Peruage of the Trustee of Howard had just previously voted to raise the tuition charge and had specified that it be used in paying salary increases. Dr. Durkee once proceeded to the school into debt raising salaries in the past and stated that it was the intention of the Board that the increment from the addition of this debt would outweigh this decision, which would require at least three years." During that period there would be no salary advances for any teachers—he said. After he had exhausted his supply, he called a calendar of high-sounding praises of my services, I informed him of my acceptance of the position. Note that this was during the first week of school, and the nation on June 6, which was acknowledged June 9. I quote from the latter's letter. Durkee's Letter "I have received yours of the 5th resigning from the staff of the University that you may become principal of the school at Downingworth, of your father. After your long talk with me I anticipated that this would be your action and so prepared myself in mind for this letter that I can tell you. I can well understand that after ten years of teaching here, it is a wrench for you to break from the work and enter the somewhat new field, and get I feel that you are doing the right thing in entering this Broken Faith "As Dr. Durkee has broken faith in me, I feel that I may relate the following incident without violating the confidence of one of our teachers. In June each 1922 or 1923, I went with my father after the meeting of the board to the home of the teacher, pertaining some of the members at dinner. This same member called me out into the dining room, where we were alone and sat down so that our knees touched. We looked on the eyes. "Jhnimie," he said. "I have known you all of your life and I am going to tell you about a foe. What trouble have you been having with Dr. Durkee?" Astonished "I was astonished but told him of such disagreements as we had had in faculty meetings and elsewhere, and I was very pleased to have previous meeting of the Board Dr. Durkee had had me advanced in rank to Assistant Professor. He then related to me that Dr. Durkee had recommended that day to the Teachers' Committee the dismissal of four members of the faculty, of whom I was a member. He challenged the refusal to cooperate in the time of a great crisis. Specifically, he charged that when the English department was closed, he and I had only three classes. I had absolutely refused to take a class in English. Stunned By News "You can imagine how I was stunned at this news—from surprise to mortification. To think that I had been recommended or dismissed! I was surprised that the thing was that Dr. Durkee had never so much as intimated to me that he was taking such a step and had given me absolutely no chance to prepare a defense. I happened that my mittee met me and the mittee had known me for years and spoke up beautifully in my behalf, passing a resolution that no teacher was ever to be dismissed without being a fair chance to defend himself." German-English The facts in the case were as follows: Early in either 1821-22 or 1822-23, I was one of my classes in German failed to materialize and I. had only two The Afro-American—South's Biggest and Best Weekly a shortage of English teachers and Dr. Durkee suggested that I take the class. Of course, I protected vigorously, as I took pride in my work and did not feel qualified to teach English because I was a foreigner including Dean Miller, the English department and the German department met in Dr. Durkee's office. I explained my polite request to Dr. Durkee that it was not a pedagogy policy to give a teacher a subject which he was not specially prepared for, but that the English department did not want to give a class to any one not prepared to teach that subject and that Durkee was not prepared to the several shifts and apparently settled satisfactorily—at least wadjourned and I never heard another word about it until nine months later, a member of the Board of Trustees. A College Graduate "Dr. Durkees' pedagogical notions and standards were never better optimized than in his famous (infamous) rejoinder in faculty meeting to my protest in taking a class with him. He came to me, but Mr. Waring is a college graduate, is he not? " You may feel free to use such of these facts as may be of service to you. I should be glad if you would correct the impression that a walker should not without give up of my goals." "(Signed) J. H. N. Waring." The Sunlight It is the same old story. Dr Durkees' letters cannot stand the sunlight. The truth in them is so fatal that it fades as soon as the light is thrown upon them. Volunteers recipients of his epistles to burn them up before Alumnus gets them. To his misleading mind a letter is a precious piece of confidence never to be judged. He is a man of great readiness means of escape from the grave responsibility of his deeds. Memory Poor Memory Poor The question has often been raised as to the dependability of Dr. Durkee's memory. It does not seem to be a problem, but make statements which other statements can easily prove false. Or the other hand, it is a distressing thought to associate a clergyman with his past. Inventions in defence of the truth. There has always been a traditional respect for the "Man of God" who has his past. From such a disciple of the Christian dispensation, nothing but unaltered veracity is expected. Close friends of Dr. Durkee say that he has an excellent memory, so that these discrepancies are not chargeable to that source. Again, the Christian he has a very high standing, so knows exactly what is expected of his profession. He knows what his responsibilities are in setting the record straight, and knows that as the leader of young impressionable students, he must be an example of handling the truth in fact, the president of a university gives the institution its dominant Inconsistency Wherein, then, lies the inconsistency in Dr. Durkee's exposed weakness in reproducing facts as they appear, light of his numerous acts. Dr. Durkee has absolutely no respect for Negro intelligence. He treats education as a duty, would treat a twelve year old white child. He does not give the Negro credit for having sense enough to interpret his contradictory statements of his own honesty, or to analyze his trials. His idea is merely to write, regardless of facts or subsequent exposures, because the aggrieved person or persons. St. Louis Letter That St. Louis letter was an insult to the intelligence of the alumna Howard, wishing to act sane, without being influenced whatsoever by the popular clamor, paid Dr. Durkee the deference of an audience through his explanation of the many charges which had been brought to their attention by the press. He promptly sounded genuine. He had no idea that his letter would ever wend his way back to the District of Columbia and hang his name when he read and compared with the truth. Dr. Durkee ought to apologize to St. Louis alumni for his transgressions and hang his name when he an shows him the way out of his embarrassment. Professors Queer? One inescapable conclusion is that the professors who left Howard beaten and scared by their queer peers, or Dr. Durkee stands accused by each one of not handling the truth with mathematics have certainly been forceful and presented with convincing evidence. How much longer can Dr. Durkee own conscience stand the Durkee Withdrawn Meanwhile everything, with the exception of the recent outburst, is quite normal. He just about withdrawn from his job. He is no longer present on Sunday, at the church exercises, at the gym, at the job. He is through with colored audiences. Even his engagement with the Sorority, during the Christmas break, was abruptly broken off. Brooklyn now is his only care and worry. Brooklyn Authentic information on the Brooklyn situation is expected daily, but it has not reached the writer's mind. The writer's opinion on the matter is divided. There is a feeling that Dr. Durkee will never land such a job, inasmuch as his measurements are too light and his facial features are a profound thinker. His pulpit ability lies chiefly in adorning a slender thought with multifarious quotations from the masters, and he recites them well. It is doubtful if his style will attract a congreger of Beecher Church, an order of Benedictine church, than ornamentation is demanded. Called And Accepted already been called and has accepted the pastorate, but wishes to continue in his position of the President of the His Social Secretary, misnamed Alumni Secretary, is quoted as saying that Dr. Durkee was the only resignation will be acted upon at the February meeting of the Board of Trustees. A Dance Or Two This busy secretary, who work twenty-four hours a day, thirty days a month, and twelve months a year stakes a few hours off recently to take a dance or two. During the when, when he receives all of his receiving cases, he felt so happy that he is reported as saying that Dr. Durkee's days at Howard were numbered. Following this as sertion calls the resignation of the secretary's clear commitment that the poacher would not be jailed. The writer is not passing this line or as true. It may never have been uttered, but there is surely some reason to believe that he is liking like a man who is about to go on a jong vacation. First, he neglected the wondrous opportunity he had to make an official is under fire, he embraces every opportunity to make a speech in which he may legitimately answer the question of whether he braced a similar opportunity in November, when he spoke to the State Teachers' Association of Maryland, which he would have not many. When he would have not many Howard alumnae indicates that it is not necessary to put his side on the people inasmuch as he is going. Sunday Chapel In the second place, he has given up Sunday Chapel services at Howard, though he was on the program. He no longer would act, although he did act at Howard. The press has already heated him rather warmly, for filling local pulpits when his duties call him to his own pulpit, and he has been given the opportunity. He has not filled more than one local pulpit since October. His name and picture, once regular tenants of the Saturday, "Star," among the Church notices for the Sunday, no longer exists. The Sunday practice of desserting the Chapel for a foreign pulpit indicates the probability of a permanent position in Brooklyn; otherwise Dr. Durkke fears the wrath of the press. Brooklyn Vacancy Again, a release was given some time ago to the Washington papers announcing the vacancy in Brooklyn preschools who have had the famous church which Dr. Durkee was now filling temporally, and mentioning the proximity of a call to some outstanding faculty. Durkee was only Durkee. If there had been any doubt about the call, Dr. Durkee never would have given such a release. The fact that he has been holding down the position weeks would surely be a source of embarrassment; he did not eventually get the call. One Clash In Two Weeks All this may be speculative, but Dr. Durkee is not acting like a president who is planning deep down in his heart to remain. He has had but one clash in the last two weeks and this is a very sober record for Dr. Durkee. Now it may be that his Negro Biography is keeping him busy. There surely must be a few $300 orders by this time, especially since there is a deferred payment plan of purchasing such promised greatness. But whatever may be the cause, he has had, in the last two weeks, only one man sized Called Teachers Together It seems that Miss Childers, one of Dr. Durke's thorns, committed the unpardonable sin of calling a meeting of the teachers of the Convent to attend a recital that all musical activities at Howard are under one Dorsey Rhodes, a horn-blower, who has naturally made some noise in the world. Miss Childers has never quite accepted the administrative yoke of Serious Rhodes, so every now and often a Rhodes-Children' bout is staged. Horn Blowing Sergeant When Sergent Rhodes heard of Miss Childers' intention he rushed over to Presidency Durkee but unwillingly tendered the meeting. The Sergent of horn-blowing proclivities objected to certain details which Miss Childers was working out for her father. She was working out what she had to do. He insisted upon her following the instructions of the head of musical activities. The faculty backed Miss Childers in conservatory schedule, and according to cyewitnesses, Dr. Durkee and his gallant sergeant retreated as anger as wet hens. The jury is now running on Miss Childers' schedule, and Dorsey will have to be satisfied with the blowing of his bugle. By Board legislation, Miss Childers, and not the head of the Conservatory of Music. Durkee Lost Pep There has been no other outburst that has reached the ear of the writer. The days of trouble are just past, and the days of repentance pop for a scrap. His humiliating repudiation by the Board of Trustees in reinstating the dismissed professors over his protest and entreaty, has taken some of the light out of it. It would have been a blow to any man, and especially to Dr. Durkee, who had so skillfully engineered certain fanned foes out of the university, and planned a university had to economize, and then have these men returned to his bankrupt pay-sheet. It certainly was hard to believe, and the trivial trickery, it is only in a sprint that dishonesty can cross the line in advance. Annual Worry With Senate Another worry is the annual need of begging the Senate to restore the items thrown out by the House. The Senate is ready, perhaps, as in former years. Of course the Howard University appropriations have been made a republican obligation; so they are ready to sure of passing despite the objection of certain members in the House. Truth Downing CAPITAL RESIGN RD MEETING Secretary Quoted As Durkee Charge That that have no legal status. Senator, have retained Howard University, that they cannot promise to vote in definitely for illegal appropriations. The administration of Howard University, however, has never tak these signatures at their word, but have continued to remain idle throughout the year and rush to the Senate for the restoration of the appropriations which are pretty sur- to meet a rebuff every year from Congressman from South Carolina.

Durkee Harmful The trustees' adherence to Dr. Durkee's cause is sure to be injurious to the welfare of the institution. Enough the Senate will doubtless be able to tolerate the terrible absurdity of enthusiasm of the part of colored people. Some of the most influential Negro citizens have taken the stand that Howard University without federal aid will be able to University with Dr. Durkee. In fact a brief on Dr. Durkee's administration is assured consideration before the bill comes up in the Senate. They are willing to change and they want it right a way. They are so desperate that they are willing to accept any claim that will guarantee the removal of a greater one. Destroy Appropriation Some of the influential Congressmen have requested that they have worked if the destroying of the appropriation will be preferable to the retention of Dr. Durkee until some legislation can be enacted to cure the real evil and method of selecting the board of control. It has been found that no ride can be attached to an appropriation. The matter will only require the matter will only the way to cure matters, but such a bill is likely to sleep on the calendar until "economy" has swept away the need for this action, there is a growing feeling that it might be better for Howard University to lose the federal appropriations if such benevolence is going to continue in offices of Dr. Durkus. **Come To A Head** The whole matter must come to a head. This clash between Durkheimism and Negro self-respect can be some success has been recorded on the side of self-respect. The public, which at first was perhaps relegated to this constitution, has since been accepted by the intelligent public as the most dependable exposition of real conditions at Howard. The language has been temperate and facts have been supported by evidence. **Unprepared** The impression that has been made is that Dr. Durkus is wholly unprepared for his position, that his actions are not consistent with the politicians, and that his correspondence is freighted with untruths. Negro intelligence has been assailed and much respect sampled under Dr. Durkus. America can sit still under such palpable humiliation, they are not entitled to better treatment. Only the American can sit still under such helpless glory. Plays and photoplay at the theatres beginning Sunday, 24th are: LINCOLN Julian Arthur's Jazz Entertainers.

E. Pearson, North Pole in April 1998. He said: "Admiral Pearsey has been criticised for not taking a white man to the pole, but taking instead, the colored man, Matt Henson. "During Pearsey's 15 years effort to reach the pole, Matt Henson panied the pole, and took instead of the best dog team drivers in the world today. "Some of our men, dog teams and ledges were dropped over the water, and we had to supply stations for Pearsey's return trip from the Pole. I went with the expedition to a point within 150 miles of the Pole, and when I was taken for only two men besides the Eskimos in their best lap to the Pole, Pearsey made the decision and picked the fittest man. There is no other answer than because he was the best man in the party. Admiral Icary showed no racial discrimination but chose the fitness man for the job of making those long marches in a temperature 60 degrees below zero."

The crowd is densely packed, and there are trees and buildings visible in the distance.] More Money In Being Colored Than White New York.—There is at least one man who is colored because he can make more money than by being white. His story is printed in the current issue of "American Mercury" magazine an article titled "South" by L. M. Hussey. His name is withheld, but from the text. Indications point to Walter White, Asst. Secretary of the Navy. His name is seated at lunchroom with this man in the city of New York. His avocation was literature, but he earned his livelihood as an executive in the Navy. He was identified with the blacks, although otherwise he was physically white. There was in him a trivial tincture of Negro blood, but he was reasonable scrutiny that to me his claim to be a Negro seemed rather an affection. We were talking of the frequent passage of light-colored Afro-American men, to the white men. "For some that may be difficult," I said, "but for you it would have been absurdly easy. Tell me, why is it you never become a white "You understand," he answered, "that a Negro goes white for but one reason—to betray himself economically to the theater, to stay white without detection he gets away, of course, from certain indignities. He doesn't have to take the seat, seated in the theaters and in the concert halls, and he can unchallenged into fashionable restaurants and so forth. Nowadays, however, some of us have discovered that one of these—and I am an improved economic status doesn't necessarily follow a change of color.

It was after 5 o'clock before we opened, not a theatre in town had any lights until then. If relous laughter, deafening aplause, numerous encores and pleasing comment is anything upon which you may base judgment; then it is well to say that Martin and Walker will be welcome at the Palace again and again. It has a plenty of speed and pep, to which is added a collection of individual talent and superior music. The scenery and costuming are plentiful and elaborate. All members of the company are hard workers. Members of Company Supporting Martin and Walker, the comedians and owners, are: "Jabe Brown," leads; Sylvia Mitchell, soubriette; Ray Moore and Lawrence Nash, the comedians; the chiristers are: Mildred, Pellettebone; Jessie Taylor; Margaret Watkins, Christine Russell, Farline Lane, Dora Woods, L. B. Batter, and music director. Dan Pursue is in three directors. The pursue is in three directors. Praises Margaret Johnson The Palace sends 1,200 and plays a mixed policy of pictures and vaudeville. A. Earrasso is the manager and keeps the house filled to capacity most of the time by the excellence of the programs presented. A midnight show was given on last Wednesday by the Furniture Men's Wholesale and Retail Association and the whole house was bought out. Whitney and Tutt opened here Monday. Margaret Johnson is the greatest record singer appearing here this season. I think more publicly would help her. The Afro-American—South's Biggest and Best Weekly REGENT Eddie Lemon Players Eddie Lemon and his players offer a diversified bill this week that seemed to meet the exactions of the "listened in" at Mondays supper show. Lemmon, who has recently recovered from a severe sigge of illness, again assumed the comedy burden and showed very little sign of a man whose temperature, during last week was 106. The composition of the company remains practically the same in private rather than the absence of Rosa Henderson and Eva Mason and the addition of Fred Lajoy to the cast. Miss Lavizzo's picture, the latter's partner is displayed on the front, but she was not in the cast on Monday night. *Theresa Brooks and Lulu Whidley are entrusted with the principal female talking parts. The latter is eminem, and the four-hour work she did with her illiterate personality has made her quite as popular as any member of the cast. A number that bore a striking resemblance to a Hula caught on with the boys on Monday. Miss Whidby tossed the number assisted by the choristers who, like the soloist, were the only audience that was present. The conclusion there was no doubt that the song and accompanying dancing was popular. Luulu smiled and the customers smiled with her. Another attractive member is the young lady who last week danced with "Yanks." It seems that she is capable of doing more than just gracing the back line. The choir members were comfortable applause early in the doings. She was placed in charge of a number, and with the aid of the choristers danced her way to glory. All that she earned in the way of acknowledgement she deserved, and the customers were loath to let her go after several repetitions. Another conscientious, smiling little chorister would be a credit to anyone's company. Sammy VanHurst, the dancer, was recalled this week and was heartily greeted on Monday night. His dancing caught on like flames to gasoline, obliging him to repeat his efforts after each appearance. He also performed a profitable bit of singing in a soldier dance number Assisted by Yankas the two led the girls in some precise formation and steps. The costuming ran to West Point gray coats any white trousers surmounted with appropriate headgear. The general effect was novel. Henry Bowman and Leroy White were veteran actors in the theatre, acquitted themselves as he may be expected. The Musical Rowley's, white, performed superbly on a number of unique musical instruments, and added just the needed touch of novelty to the program. With "Dinah" Scott and Olive Lopez on the end the stores stepped the way glory is fresh and appropriate. Another dandy bill is being prepared for next week.

She replaced Florence Mills at the Plantation and remained there for Miss Waters' recent tour included Philadelphia, Washington, and Baltimore.

Drake—Walker Page Five PHILADELPHIA HOUSE HONORS ANNIVERSARY Gibson's Standard Celebrates Its Twelfth Year BALTIMORE OWNER IS REPUTED MILLIONAIRE John T. Gibson Was Given Degree By Morgan College Last Spring Philadelphia.—When John P. Gibson was compelled to close the North Pole on South Street and announced that he would take over the abandoned Yiddish theatre, which is now the Standard, wiscacres in the show world stuck their tongues in their cheeks, and exchanged knowing winks. This was in January, 1814, when colored trouppers were then far from the heights upon which they are today. Hadn't the Jewish people tried it asked the doubsters? Hadn't "Gib" Young come down from New York, opened the house "and threw it" said sophisticated South Street. Hadn't this and hadn't that provided that John T. Gibson was "cuckoo"? Heedless of their dire prophecies of disaster Gibson purchased the theater in January, but the largest building on South Street from the Delaware to the Schuylkill rivers. Expenses High Identify located on South at 12th; South Street being the third largest business street in Philadelphia, the standard has a seating capacity of 1,400, with a stage capacious enough to stage the largest productions. .100 persons are employed. The expenditures yearly are salaries to thousands of dollars. Last week the twelfth anniversary was celebrated. Gibson Wealthy The owner also owns the Dunbar Theater on Broad Street also in an envious location. This Theatre, one of the finest architecturally and furnished in America, was purchased in 1821 for a cool half million dollars. Other properties, one million. Other interests of the proprietor are said to compel him to pay an income tax of staggering size. John F. Gibson is a former Baltimorean and attended Morgan College. Recently the degree of Doctor of Law was conferred on him in 1980 and an appointment of the college. He lives on his magnificent country estate at Elmhurst, outside of Philadelphia.

Friday night on the floor of the Druld Hill Avenue Branch by the lopsided score of 28 to 9. The local birds never were forced to show their best wares and had the Quaker lassies on the short end of a 16 to 2 score at the beginning of the second period. Miss Ora Washington, Philadelphia tennai star, led the attack for the visitors. She was responsible for five of the birds scored by her team, with two goal and three shots from the foul line.

J.—The Bucancers triumphed over Lincoln University 22-20 at Waltz Dream Friday night. In a game replete with sensational plays. While only seven hundred fans witnessed the game, support was evenly divided. Reports of the Athenian-Lincoln game had been carefully scanned and Coach Eddie Matthews' well laid plains stopped 'Adonis' Day from holding the ball or stalling it right forwards. They went into Daiy either causing the referee's whistle for a held ball, or making the Lincoln star pass to his mates. Day, however, scintillated throughout, with his marvelous dribbling and passing, scoring two shots under the passer, and scoring three points in making his opponents foul. Captain Taylor gave Day lots of help, tossing in a twin pointer and scoring five of seven tries from the foul mark. For the Buc Pickles Howard and Wild Buc Queen led the attack with Kesha Kes and Knox starring for the defense. At half time the shore lays led 8-5, owing to brilliant shots by Queen. Howard led the barrage in the second half, during which Lincoln tied them forged ahead, only to be distanced by After Queen had been forced out on personals with a minute to go, the Buss showed the Collegians how to stall time, setting their followers into a frenzy with a whirlwind passing game, every man touching the ball, keeping it in their possession until the final whistle.

The contest ended on the floor of the Columbo. "Lanky" Starts Not only was the victory decisive, but it turned out to be a rout in the last few minutes of play, "Lanky," Morgan's six foot two inch pivot man won even the hardened hearts of the Howard rooters by his brilliant playing. To be perpetual motion while on the floor, always cool, self-possessed and collected, Coach Burr put two and then three men to guard him, but it profited him caught, as "Lanky," what is known to grid followers Seconds Yanked The odds were three to one before the game that Howard would win by at least 10 points. Coach Burr started his second string men and in less time than it takes to crack a shot at the Lanky, had eagled old ball at the sound of the whistle. Young and Clark had scored one from the foul line followed by another doubledecker by "Lanky." Howard followers sent out a S. O. S. and Coach Burr responded by hitting his first string man, the fraying Lanky, for a little better, as "Lanky" marshaled his forces and swept all opposition aside. One Band Several times Referee Westmoreland and the whole Howard team were looking for the ball when the Lanky was holding it. The Lanky was holding the only basketball player in colored basketball that can handle a ball with one hand. In the words of a Howard player, "He wields the ball when he can handle a ball like that," expressed the opinion of Washington roots. When "Lanky" would hold the ball behind him with one hand and ward off guards with one hand, fans rocket Morgan Leads Morgan was leading 15 to 13 at the end of the first period. When the second half started Spears found the net from the floor followed by a free shot from Coutts, bringing score to 15 to 17. Morgan hit the net. Hill got in a deuce spot followed by Young, which put Morgan five points in the lead. Spears looped another marker, which was duplicated by Coutts, giving the Bears the second straight point. A difficult one in the net followed by Hill twice in rapid succession, which made the score read 27-21 for Morgan. Lawton was the only onward mar to do any more scoring, while Jones Sheffey and Young tallied from the Lights Out Several times during the game the lights were put out and the game was played in a dim twilight. Referee Westmoreland called them as he saw them, but the game was entirely too fast for one man to work. A number of fouls went undetected. Porter, who walked from Chicago to New York, Morgan last week played about five minutes on the last half and has the mukings of a regular Sheffey Shines Young and Hill worked one of the smoothest guard combines that ever sported the Morgan colors. Sheffey was a continuous streak. His individual scintillating plays, which were alternated with Sheffey, played the greatest game of his career. "Pinkey" Clark, of gridron fame, showed he is no ordinary athlete by his excellent performance as a defender offense. "Lanky" led the scorers with four markers and a like number from the 15-foot strip. Hill was second, with three field goals and two free tosses. Young and Sheffey came next with four points respectively for pushes. Spears Leads Bisons Spears, Costes and Simpson led the Bison's attack. Spears was officially credited with three goals and one free toss for seven points. Lawton and Berry in forward, with Johnson and Simpson in guard, rounded out a formidable machine.

They also are puzzled over the facts that newspapers fail to give information about the issues being issued on the 1st and 14th day of each month. Newspapers are accused of withholding results. Sport writers are accused of being biased against the league, who have been selected to keep an account of the standing have been coasted time and again, accused of withholding results in order to favor this or that team, and is really the task to ask the fans. The truth of the matter is simply that the National league has no business men who operate the clubs. That there are many games of games won and lost, results of batting averages. There has been an effort made, even so far as to place fines on clubs who do not send in the results of games, but that has not remedied the sit- Games Held Out Club owners and their business managers hold reports of games four and five days after game is played. The last summer wherein the results of such game were to be telegrammed each after game for the percentage column of games played. The games will be followed up with a special delivery letter with the box score of each game. The matter was simple to explain. The official score. A carbon of his report for the daily paper could be used. But the games played at Birmingham on the American Giants field were the clubs withhold games when they lose, send them in when the games are won. This affects the results of the reasons why the standing caries at times. Reports of expenditures, rail fare and salaries are not sent to the president's office, therefore the president himself does not exactly what it costs to operate. He does know what each club made, so if some were successful is up to the owners of each club to explain. During the existence of the league, Foster has sought to have the league assume the responsibility of an office, working force and a president's salute, and allow Foster to operate the league's business out of a five percent commission. Out of the commission comes stenographer's salary, office and each owner has posted $100. This money is for a franchise, but it is also protection against nonpayment of guarantees for the league. When the public may see and know just what each club collected for their shave, we have gone over the books of the league to find follows. When one goes over it carefully you will not wonder why the league seeks men with business sense and knowledge, but cannot and will not work towards the success of the league. Four clubs in the league are owned and are not for sale. It is possible that the league may see it to operate the other four. It is possible that men with shrew business sense will become interested. In the meantime it careful study of the table of accounts will give you an idea of the thousands of dollars that have trickled through the fingers of owners, with Detroit, it.

As long as we athletics there is no harm in a young man entering desires. Then why the argument, that he has a baseball because a professional sport man have been playing in the big leagues and some of salaries for their services.

I know of a team in Detroit the most entirely in business. But the same is true over the country, as far as basketball.

For perhaps it is the latter fact that occasion on his turning professional. Ernie Nevers. Turned pro at about the same time as Grange, but theirs of a storm of protest. It seems rather unfair to him to so much adverse criticism. To the writer it seems there should be no argument. If Grange is a public character enough to obtain thousand dollars for a few games of football, more power if there were professional running and jumping a hundred thousand or so for a few races, do you think about doing it? Neither would the average man. If the sport fan only realized the years of hard, practice and sacrifice it takes for a man to become a sport, he would hesitate before decriing the fact that advantages of an opportunity to get some concrete efforts. With that in mind he seems that Grange did thing he could have done under the circumstances. Chick Suggs Tex Rickard has placed Chick Suggs first in his pennantweight fighters. He places the champion third on quite a plate. The sporting world has long been aware of the best of the bantamweights, and this rating of Rick the fact more evident.

Let Dempsey play the game he makes others bear the brunt of his shortcomings as a crown defender? If the commission says the state dealing with him is banned, then why monkey with the buzzsaw? The commission can come of Dempsey that if he comes in and displays an evidence of sincerity about his business, that's fair enough. It plain enough, that's certain. Why any man wants to fly defiance in the face of that "I know Rickard's angle. He doesn't relish a mixed bout. He never has. He thinks it will be better than he thinks it. Thinking as he does, Rickard believes it within his rights to put Dempsey on with someone else. It can't be done. He can't be done for Willem being sidetracked. The Negro challenger is entitled to his chance, in all fairness. The Commission intends to see justice done.

Ever saint baseball became a professional sport, College trained men have been playing in the big leagues and some of them getting big salaries for their services.

Today it is the usual custom for the star college basketball tosser to take up the game when he finishes his collegiate competition. In my number of ex-college players on the big professional teams of the country, I know of a team in Detroit that is composed almost entirely of former collegians. But, nothing has been said about it. Why should this one man be made the center of all arguments? He isn't the most advertised player. Perhaps it is the latter fact that occasions so much comment on his turning professional. Ernie Nevers, Wilson, and others, turned pro at about the same time as Grange, but they were not the center of the criticism. They were rather unfair to Grange to subject him to so much adverse criticism.

Neither would the average man. If the sport fan only realized the years of hard, constant faithful practice and sacrifice it takes for a man to become a champion in any sport, he would hesitate before decrying the fact that the champion was not a good athlete. He would be less effortless. With that in mind it seems that Grouge did the only sensible thing he could have done under the circumstances. Chick Suggs Tex Rickard has placed Chick Suggs first in his rating of the banantweight fighters. He places the champion third on the list. This is quite a tribute to Suggs. He has the winning weight, has long been aware of the fact that Suggs is the best of the banantweights, and this rating of Rickard's only makes the fact more evident. All that remains in the fight with Rosenberg to making the rating official. Some has suggested a tournament of the leading college basketball teams to determine the national champions. While we are about it, why not a tournament to determine the national pro champions, and the national amateur champions among the amateur teams. Wilberforce University has a new stunt. A few years ago a Chicago Basketball team insisted on Wilberforce fulfilling a contract for a game at the Korean. Because of this the Chicago school broke off relations with all Cincinnati teams. Now she will play no Cincy teams until she is reimburse for rife amount she had to pay under contract. Try to beat that. It looks like Harry Wills is again being shoved aside as regards a match with the Cincinnati. If Wills were a championship fight he will be too old to carry out his end. His case is even more pathetic than that of Sam Langford a number of years ago. Worth Retelling Knute Rockne tells one on a couple of sandlot football teams. These teams were engaging in mighty combat. Neither side could scope. One of the teams was using signals that ran way up in the thousands. 944 lanes were there some of the play players stumbled on the fourth quarter this team called time out and their star player stumbled on the field. He was about 6 ft 4, and weighed over 200 pounds. The cheering was thunderous. "One million 342 thousand, 642," came the signal. The interference moved to the right. The star grabbed the ball, and in two or three giant throws the ball knocked his backs, passed them, looked over his shoulder, and yelled, in giant hussle. "Interference—Follow Me." Which is as bad as the tale of the soldier who was caught running away from battle. "Say, what are you running for fellow?" asked the captain. "Because I can't fly. Captain."

All of my selections are not only young men with many years before them to build on their fine records, but also their years of their playing careers; they have all dominated their local courts. They are not freaks in any sense of the word but young men who displayed their native talents and trained their skills to play the modern game. They all realize the importance of reading the best literature of the game and the necessity of seeing the great players like Tilden, Johnson Richards and Williams in action on grass, on clay, on wood and on the hard concrete courts of the far West. These young men have not only been successful players and winners in fast competition on the home courts but each of them has saliated out among the neighboring halls and made his mark.

KILLS ROOMER, GETS 1ST DEGREE VERDICT Jealousy and Vengeance Solves Mystery Of Dead Man Found In Wagon WIFE FOLLOWED STAR BOARDER WHO FLED Albert Brice Admits Killing Rival Who Stole Woman From Him Guilty of murder in the first degree without capital punishment, was the verdict returned by a jury. In the case of Albert Price, 538 W. Mulberry street, charged with shooting to death George Guerre of the same ad- dress. The alleged shooting took place on December 2, 1925 and was first brought to the attention of the police when the lifeless body of Carter was found in a wagon in an alley some distance from the Brice home. At this time a verdict of death from natural causes was rendered by the Western. The Bluet coroner. It was not until after the body was removed to the morgue that through post mortem examination was held that a small bullet wound was discovered in the small of the back. Stole His Wife A new investigation was began and it was found that Brice had made threats against the dead man. Carter was said to have been a boarder in the home and he had left under suspicion of having been familiar with Mrs. Brice. This was strengthened when the new woman is alleged to have left the house later. The girl was with which the murder was committed was bought by Brice at this time and according to witnesses he had made statements to the effect that both would be killed if he ever caught them. Thought He Was Burglar On the stand Bruce declared that he was awakened on the night of the murder by someone in his room. Thinking the intruder a burglar he fled before realizing that it was Carter, who had returned for his clothes. The plea of the unwritten law was also shattered when Attorney Ephiam Jackson, who represented the accused was about to put the wife on the stand and at the moment admitted that he was not lawfully married. The jury deliberated for three quarters of an hour before they returned a verdict. Sentence was suspended.

White was arrested by Southern District police after a chase that covered several blocks. The arrest was made upon the complaint of Mrs. Amanda Hebron, 1133 N. lin street, who notified a carfleetman her car had made her escape from the man. Mrs. Hebron declared that she had gone to an employment agency Wednesday to obtain work.

After the woman was unable to obtain work he approached her with the same proposition and took her to Cherry Hill where he robbed her of a pocket book containing $5. A search of the vicinity proved fult at the time. White was positively identified by Mrs. Henderson at the hearing Thursday.

Mr. Moss was asked to speak on "Social Work Among Negroes in Baltimore." He was given the opportunity to present the work of the Negro in this country in general and open for a discussion of the talk. Various phases of the hearings were presented as they effect the Negro were discussed at length. Several angles of segregation and prejudice also came in for their share of the discussion. "They already knew a great deal about the problem," Mr. Moss told a representative of the APRO. "A good many of them have individually done a lot here in Baltimore. One of the group was instrumental in Morgan College placed in the interracial students' conference. The group itself has held interracial conferences and has answered their questions following my set speech showed that they had followed closely the various items to which I had called attention and that they were represented in what we they might serve the colored people."

Miss Dixon averred, when they fall in reading the chart at a given distance they are not able to recognize the recommendations a child to an optician because in a great many cases the trouble is not in the eyes at all but can be traced to some other source, probably the eye. An optician merely examines the eyes and gives steniasm as the cause, glasses are prescribed, which in the end help the child to see clearly. Eye ethnic efforts are made to get at the root of the trouble and correct it. Overweight is a condition found in girls more than boys.

Several years ago a prosperous white farmer in Harford County, Md., felt that the addition of a small boy to his household to do chores meant more care, and means were gave over by the good man and his wife with the result of the conference finding them applying at St. Elizabeth's Catholic farm for a healthy boy, board, board and other keep in exchange for his services about the farm. The boy chosen was an orphan, also Reid, chauffeur for Lonnie Fisher, one of the best known theatrical producers in the country. Reid's early years in Harford County were spent in taking minor things in the house and on the street. When he grew older he was taught ploughing, harvesting and other branches of agriculture. The outdoor life gave him a splendid physique which today he handles service in touring the A. Candy Butcher Religious instruction accompanied agricultural and the now hired man was obliged to attend the family devotional exercises. At the department of finance, from training six years ago, he was given a sum of money and came to Baltimore. For several years he alternated between the Ragent and Lincoln theatres as he drew him back to Harford County where he entered the employment of the Champlain Farm at Phoenix which is owned by one of the wealthiest colored farmers, in the state, Irving Chan- Taxi Driver Another year of tilling the soil suffixed after becoming accustomed to the city. Hence he kept returning to the city to work in the theatres and remained at this occupation for several months. In his spare time, during his life on the job, he acquired the workable knowledge of automobiles, so when opportunity offered he accepted a position as a driver of taxicabs or as a bus driver. Years he has taken trips and tours to many interesting places and relates some interesting experiences in his contacts. Eight weeks ago he entered the employment of Fisher. Now Expert Mechanic He is now an expert driver and mechanic, and says that--all cars look allie to him. He has just returned from a tour of Virginia in a car with a driver who has evidence of having received the best of attention. Horatio Alger in all of his stories has hardly penned a stranger tale than the climb of this orphan boy to an expert automobile司机 via a Harford country farm.

Thoughts Of The Founder Selected from the writings of the founder of the AFRO-AMERICAN "The business man is like the farmer, independent; he has always something coming in, but he has got to be on the job all the time. He does not think he can run his business any old way. I think it was Ben Franklin who said, "Keep thy shop and thy shop will keep thee." He must not expect to have his shop keep him unless he pays proper attention to the shop." The local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is to be congratulated for another term as president. Mr. Kogers' effective work last year makes the outlook bright for a banner 1926. We commend a continuation of the fight against segregation in criminal and traffic courts, Uniway Busses and Department More Ritchie Governor Ritchie is still at it. His talent at present is spent making, and having, the most presidential nomination on the Democratic tickle. The Governor spoke Tuesday of last week in New York before the lawyer's Club deprecating the encroachments the Federal Government made in recent years on rights States to manage their affairs. Governor Ritchie is an ardent advocate of state prohibition amendment because a part of the constitution and Congress passed a Volunted Enforcement Act, which said this to surrender, "For more than a century," he said, "the high purpose of law in this country was to protect life, and to prevent the rights of the individual and any who would invade them. Now the notion is that law can be used as a scheme to human conduct and relations, and to secure the moral well being of the individual by forcing all the people the proposals to areas of groups or people." The Afro-American under ordinary circumstances is inclined to sympathize with the Governor of Maryland to elect Democrat the he be. In this case the same shoe which pinches him, does not pinch us. We, with the majority of the population, are interested in interference at which Mr. Ritchie rails. So-called federal meddling which made Maryland dry, also gave women the ballot. He gave the Smith-Lever act. Congress made available funds for orientational training of colored children—where before the state of Maryland put its approval of the United States to Maryland the doors of which are closed to colored folk. Governor Ritchie deplores the fact that the federal government should force upon us the classes or classes of people. This may be true, but Mr. Ritchie does the self same thing in his administration of the state of Maryland. The partyity depicted by the Governor's party force upon us, who constitute the minority—Unqual school salaries in county schools and no representation on The Governor's majority closes the colored state institution at Crawsville to us as employees. We are not enemies. As commander-in-chief of state police, he sees it to that the minority hasn't a single patrolman in Baltimore. He should be deceived therefore by the Governor's plea for the rights of minorities. He is not contending for a principle in government, but a repeal of the laws in another state in the State house at Annapolis. No Disagreement If colored people are opposed to theatre segregation, why did they permit it at the Fifth Regiment Armory in Y. M. C. A. gave its musical last year? This was one of the questions asked Secretary R. M. Moss of the Urban League at a conference of friends we met last year. That we are not absolutely agreed among ourselves on the anti-segregation right. This is true, yet hardly the full reply. At the Y. M. C. A. musical tickets were sold in blocks to organizations. The white Y. M. C. A. "purchased a block of tickets and disposed of them. So also did the organization. No part of the army was set aside for one race or another. We voluntarily segregate ourselves with private friends have their right to ask. "What does a fuss when we segregate you?" It needs to be made plain that every adult person is opposed to segregation; however, he may differ others as to the method of combating it.

The plans were made to invite Him Pastors were made to agree upon a tentative plan to unite in a city-wide evangelical campaign. The city was divided into districts, plans made to appoint captains and workers who should visit every home in Baltimore to appeal to join the Army of the Lord. Then, someone remembered that workers tired out with their rounds should have refreshment while reports should be headquarters. When wouldn't the press to meet together to make these reports, to eat a sandwich and drink a cup of cocoa, and to get the inspiration from the campaign directors. Better if colored cards do for the press in their churches an dwitches in sheers. Certainly the Man of Nazareth would have no objection to meeting the white brethren first in their church and the church. It isn't that Christianity. His religion teaches the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man. It does. Pastors of both races believe it. But the church could not go back to my congregation with an evangelical program that included white and colored people eating in the same room. And as the man of Stenteau said, "I would go back to my people with a program that involved segregation." So here we are. Nearly 2000 years ago they put Joseph and Mary in a stable. "There was no room in the Today Baltimore may postpone a city-write evangelical campaign. The city has long enough to house black and white. As a reporter put it in last week's AFRQ-AMERICAN, "Christianity in Baltimore is a place of goodwill." "There is a humorous sheet in Chicago called the "Whip." It is a penny-dreadful.

It is worth remembering that President Coolidge has done quite a bit last presidential election the Courier used eight inches across the top of its editorial page to announce the fact that its choice for president of the Courier is Coolidge. Every week for 52 weeks this fact was blazoned to the world in editorials and news articles. Today the Crisis says Mr. Coolidge has forgotten all about the campaign work of the Courier and its editor, Mr. We are surprised to learn that Mr. Vann and the Courter offer any returns on their campaign investment.

"THE BASIS OF RACE ADJUSTMENT" By Thomas Jackson Woofer, Jr. Published by Glint and Co. 70 Fifth Avenue, New York City. Price $1.40 postpaid. "This book is primarily an effort to give the authentic facts concerning the different phases of Negro life in the United States today. It is a comprehensive face. And he proceeds to present it clear, in somewhat colorless n.Bligh, a series of facts on Negro Health, Education, Production, and Religion in the Negro Cooperation. Mr. Woofer is from Georgia, and his book is. I imagine, intended primarily for Southern students interested in social services, to read to quite figures against the white South as for it. He shows the iniquities of the tenant system, and recognizes that not only economic opportunity, but its treatment by his white students in the Negro's庶族 from the South. The chapter on Education discusses the distribution of school funds. In one Southern State where the North Carolina total population and own about one-twentieth of the property, they receive only one thirty-fifth of the child's school when one is retiring figures, to spare the feelings of the state and not give its name! They show clear evidence that the educational advantage a white child has who lives in the black belt. The school money is appropriated per capita and the white counties in let us say, Alabama, gets oply his lawful share; but on the same basis of distribution in one of Alabama's counties more than its per capita share. It gets also a large proportion of what belongs to the Northgro school to the North. Woods gives a beautiful tribute to the Northern teachers who went south in the days of reconstruction, and adds that it is not yet time North to withdraw its philanthropy. While the book is an admirable compendium of facts it is nevertheless suspicious as a way out of these conditions, and Mr. Woofter buffers, as his title suggests, interfacial cooperation. But he tells us very little u Think quickly, excuse promptly. Never give up. Never delay. Resolves not carried out are like clouds without rain in drought.

JONES Miss Augusta Savage, whose 22 pieces of sculpture were among the outstanding features of the art exhibit last week at the art gallery, wrote that Negro art yet had to solve some very serious business problems. What Miss Savage means is that we must develop some way of making sculpture not only in esthetic value but in earning a livelihood. Few people who admired these pieces by Miss Savage realize what it means in sacrifice to produce them. Here is a rich business field for some of our young men looking to business careers. We have solved the problem of the next step. Distribution is the next step. There are thousands of homes, schools, churches and civic institutions who are just waiting to set some of these pieces up in their places when the enterprises young people want to about it. There could be made easily a clear profit of ten dollars on many of these pieces. A thousand pieces sold in your would not sell well. Here is a possibility worth thinking about. Fred Watson, cartoonist for the APHO-AMERICAN, has given pieces to this exhibit, says the practical side of art offers one of the biggest fields in art. This week over in Washington an interesting thing is happening. The Republican majority HAS DEFINED to pass the House bill that made it an administrative measure with instructions to put it over.

Luther Burbank, the California wizard who gave us new plants and fruits, has come to the conclusion that there is no heaven or hell as we know it. In all his life and experience, he says there has been nothing to assure him that human beings live on in a soul after death. He has been able almost to grasp hands with the Creator Himself, to juggle nature and CREATE A SEDLESS ORANGE. A THORSELESS ORANGE. A MERRICAN BEAUTY ROSE: he has been able to meditate more than most men on the wonders of this world and universe, yet he is not as wise perhaps as the simple Christian man and woman who their fate on the time of death Day by day we seem to be getting from the idea of God. Harold Smith, a thirteen year old boy, told this writer this week that he did not believe God made this world. God would have made it better, he thinks, but God still sends thousands of human beings to untimely graves, at all things which young Smith cannot understand a good God would do.

Still Creating This World But some of these days, perhaps a million years from now, when GOD FINISHES HIS WORK and WORKS WORKING THIS WORLD AND THE HUMAN BEINGS LIVING IN IT, all will believe in Him. That SIXTH day in which God is supposed to have MADE MAN is not yet evolved has not yet begun to its work. Right before our eyes it is remoulding our own group from the sun kissed men of Africa into the integral part of nation upon the face of the earth. The final finished human being will be a composite of all the races now on the face of the earth. God will give different directions in his plan of evolution, to gather in the rigors of the cold north and soft warm sentiment of the equatorial regions. He is now converging them, the white, the brown, the yellow and black. The flow of this man is a great future man is inevitable. He is preparing him for the day when he shall have harnessed the mighty waters, leveled the mountains, amphibilized distance and learned how to fish that the products and privileges of life. A little patience of a few thou sand years, which, after all, is only a second on the eternal time dial AND WE WILL BELIEVE IN GOD Frozen Assets And Responsibility In an amazing statement of banking procedure, the Rev. J. C. Austin one of the directors of the Stee City Bank of Pittsburgh which recent board on account of "froze assets," says: "It sat in conference with the board whenever I could listen to the reports of business and cast my vote for and against same. "It was never my purpose to be a business manager, real concern in reality. I attached my name to these institutions as I have done to the secret organizations and Negroes' general business in town that I might have to pay this group of ours to the spirit of cooperation, ownership self help and race pride. "In spite of the closing of the doors of the Steel City Banking Company, I feel the need to listen to the latter, I myself, the brains or the time to operate them or not." Here we have in a nutshell the cause of most of the failures we have had in high finance. DIRECTOR OF SUPPONSEBILLING is the most amazing thing about it is that here is a minister who says out loud that he was willing to coral the dollars of his poor congregation of men without having any idea at all WHAT THEY WERE DOING WITH THESE DOLLARS. And what after all in a frozen asset? Generally a real estate deal in which some man influential in bank or with the money of his own able to make his and others get such a big commission or bonus that its net value is impaired. MOST OF THIS FROZEN ASSET BUSINESS IS DOMINIALLY BUSINESS OR CRIMINAL IGNORANCE. Most you don't enough young men trained in the technique of business to man our enterprises, let's prepare now to train them.

This is indeed a great people will be forced more gro newspapers to keep thinking and doing. We must look to the soul of the race turned wrong It is interesting to note how the Negro press in the past decade has become the voice and the channel through which the mind and imagination can be reached and influenced. This is indeed a great sign of progress. White people will be forced more and more to read the Negro newspapers to keep up with what the race is thinking and doing. We must look to the Negro press to find the true soul of the race turned wrong side out. From Superman To Man No, I am not going to give a review of this well known book. The caption is merely to catch attention, and the book is a fine room. I am conducting a course in Negro Problems. At present the class is familiarizing students with books and authors bearing on the subject. Or Thursday morning I assigned to a member of the class the book — From Man to Superman — on Friday morning, just before the recitation period, a gentleman knocked at my recitation door, who proved to be a well-known author of the book in question. To my great pleasure and delight, I found that he was willing to spare the time to present his own book to the delight and benefit of the class. When I made the assignment there was a question: What should you put in the presence or whereabouts of the author. Such an unexpected and circumstance may well be called rogue circumstances. Thoroughly Informed The class found Mr. Rogers to be a thoroughly informed and most interesting man. The story of his book was present. The author himself is simple and unassuming, direct and straight forward in his analysis and presentation. From Man to Superman, he was more informal and republished in a number of leading Negro papers. It is one of the most interesting and valuable contributions to the literature of the race presented to Mr. Rogers was also good enough to relate something of his experience during his recent travels in Europe which have been published widely in the Negro Press. **Dunbar Tribute** The current issue of the Literary Digest will be found an interesting poem, entitled, "Not Forgetting Paul Laurence Dunbar." This poem is by Scofield Thayer, editor of the Dial: It appears in the Journal of the American literary journal. I am deeply struck with this tribute because its appreciation rests upon Dunbar's pure art of poetry without reference to his dialect or Negro paper. "Poets I have loved so deeply, Poets I have loved so long, Teach me, oh gravely, so much, Teach me, so much," He goes on to speak of the "language of moonlight" and the "waters of dawn," "the wilful change of the moon," "the mulches of April and the terns," "the all of these subtle portraits, Dunbar was superb. This Negro poet was so widely famous for his dialect description of Negro life that we often overlook the excellence of his pure and unloved poet White Influence Mr. Dunbar stayed in my home in Washington before he was married. He often recounted to me the temptation to forsake pure song for dialect. His white admiration is that he gives them more and more of the dialect. The Negro is always expected to be funny. The white man never tires of him as long as he is amusing. But he hesitates to take him scriri Mr. Dean Howell said that perhaps several other poets at the time might have equalled Dunker in unalloyed self-importance by himself when it came to the portrayal of his race in poetic dialect. In this domain he remains to this day, not only unexcelled, but unvalued. But he has been able to be defined which will live with the language. All of which goes to show that genius transcends all boundaries and barriers of race and appeals to the universal heart. Eminent Recognition This recognition of Dunbar by such an eminent literary authority as the editor of the Dial is a tribute which greatly delights the heart of his widow, and which will increase as the years go by. Incidentally this incident illustrates and enforces the mission of Roland Hayes, as I tried to set forth in my harbour reflections on the genius by the narrow limits of race. To grieve the artistic spirit by the purblind requirements of race prejudice and proscription is the one artistic sin in the world. I am a Christian. We have no reason to believe that race prejudice will soon give way on the lower plane of flesh and blood, but in the higher domain of music, poetry and art, it finds no place for judgement. Universal Appeal Thomas Nelson Page once said to me that when he was healed he was unconscious of his war or blood. Tanner's pictures hang in the art galleries of the world. The fact of the blood ties of the artists is of curious interest to those of whose breed he is and whose art, but his genius serves to mankind. It is human nature to get as near to greatness and glory as possible. The English love Shakespeare, the pearce, the Mollein, the Italian, the Germans and the Germans Goethe. But their racial and national ties are merely incidental. The status of Shakespeare was not disturbed in Berlin during the world war. Religion And Art Unfortunately religion has divided men and races and nations, science and art have tended to the same. Whenever a race is Negro, race is not. Poet like Dunbar, a painter like Tanner or a singer like Hayes, such indications of genius, will go further towards bringing about the brotherhood of mankind, the propaganda and preachments so fondly rely. There is springing up a school of young Negro artists in the several domains of art, the items of the creation of the nation, the encouragement should be given them. They help enrich the blood of the world which courses Dunbar Tribute White Influence Universal Appeal Religion And Art through the veins of all without distinction of blood. Dr. Frank Glenn I notice that Frank Glenn, the former editor of the Century Magazine, now president of the University of Wisconsin, syndicates a daily areal newsletter throughout the United States. How he can snatch time from the busy duties of the presidency of on-air television universities in America to write these daily editorials is a marvel to his admirers. These editorials are short, pointed and crisp. This requires the more time and susisted labor. Those who have had experience in composition know, not only that brevity is the life of wit, but that it imposes the hardest tax and tastils and that a weekly contribution makes no little drain upon the men's strength and resource of one otherwise engaged in intellectual pursuits, however with time and experience. Forceful Writer Mr. Glenn is one of the most forceful writers in America. He deerves to rank with Brisbane and Adelaide, but he is not of his production. But there is this great difference. Bj. Shuane and Crane are journalists. Glenn's editors are written with the left hand. Journalism today is the chief gift of reading influence the minds and conduct Frank Glenn is undoubtedly as effective through his editors as he is through the management of a great university. There he rachest the best of his editors, and his editors are read by millions. Negro Press It is interesting to note how the Negro press in the past decade has become the race, and channel through which the race, and imagination can be reached and influenced. The form has been dignified so that no writer need feel alone in his view through their columns. At one time the Negro newspaper was presented in such bad type and poor proof reading that no writer could contribute to it, and today they are at least half a dozen Negro newspapers whose subject, purpose and manner of treatment, will compare favorably with the best edited white journals. The newspaper a great sign of progress, the white people will be forced more and more to read the Negro newspapers to keep up with the race is thinking and doing. True Soul Picture If the young ambitious Negro would use the same diligence and effort to prepare worth white man for the job, he would for an occasional appearance in the white journals, the intellectual expression of the race would be greatly illicitated. He will not be allowed to express himself in white channels of publication except along lines laid down and approved by the white race. We must look to the Negro for the strength of the race turned wrong side out. Weekly Lessons In English By W. L.

Woman Travels All Way From South To Ask Friend Should She Accept Marriage Proposal By MARTHA EVEIXN BROWN What shall I do? This is the true story of a woman who came all the way from Virginia to ask a Druid Hill Avenue friend should she marry the man who had just proposed to her. Had you been in the vicinity of the Union station on a rectin Sunday you would have seen a quaint, pathetic little woman dressed in anti-gated costume with a painted cardboard suitcase get into a taxi. You would have been inclined to smile for she did look queer. Yet she was pathetic, tragically so. The taxi deposited her at a certain house on Druid Hill Avenue where a friend of southern acquaintance lived who greeted her with a hearty hug such as only the people of the south can give. This ceremony over they settled down in the parlor to tell each other of their recent experiences, to recall old acquaintances and incidents. There was much to tell, for Miss Maggie. Ash had not visited her friend in four years and since that time they rarely corresponded even the friendship was deep and life long. Down in her Virginia home, where she cared for an aged mother, her life was marked by a lack of reached middle age and had known little but world for herself and mother. She had little time for amusements, there were times when she thought of romance, as every woman does. This thought had been mellowed by remembrance in which her romance in which a lover proved untrue. Romance will come no more, she often sighed as the short years of her life were nothing ahead but the grim reality of her struggle for existence. Especially did she sigh when she thought of her niece, who had come a husband and babies. She wanted both but she brushed away a tear and went to work again. She grew from the annies she saved and soon she had Home Education "My doll is nicer than yours. She cost five dollars." "I don't care; my carriage cost most twenty dollars." The group of children and sooner or later you will hear remarks similar to these about toys, regames and clothes—sometimes even about family. Why was this so, I determined to listen to adult conversation and see if by chance the trouble originated in a beautiful picture; it cost 5,000 dollars" was one remark I overheard. Her dress ought to be pretty, its sixty dollar, said an acquaintance. "Isn't it a handsome necklace?" The price was marked down from twenty-five dollars," commented an Everywhere I went I heard money value attached to all manner of articles and items, and I seemed to rise above this placing of the money tag on things under discussion. But of course, the picture was not beautiful because of the artist's vision and skill; the dress was prettier on account of its material and the art of the designer, and the neckace was pleasing because of the lights and colors. Is it any wonder that the children copy us and judge their possessions by the price? How much better it would be if we were on a line of line and color, to show them love. Why Pretty? Conducted By MME R. CREDITT-OLIE These are the days of the Charleston madness and it is very essential that we be on our guard less we do the thing and thereby remove our own madness, and the funness, as an expression of pep, and keeping the entire body active. Dancing properly done sends a glow from head to toe. It literally pumps vigor through the body. Intensely, it pumps the muscles, which she rises upon the balls of the feet, lifts the diaphram, straightens her back, lifts her shoulders, and raises her head. Thus is developed poise and strength, and helps the scravey and trims down the rotund. Those dances that bring into action every muscle are the ones that are reducing, such as the Charleston. These dances call for a beautiful dancer, has a fine sense of rythm and synchronism, and these qualities become an integral part of her mentality, and permeates not only the body but also the she does. If her personality is a reflection of her mentality, will not polyrhythm, balance, synchronism, when attained, enhance that indiscrepable thing, we generalize as beauty. Exercise means developing, and dancing surely is exercise: a well-exercised body means one of us, and so often means beauty. Muscular development insures natural and graceful curves of the body and these are an absolute requisite for beauty of form. You will notice, smiles while she is dancing. This is not a put on expression, but natural; because the dancer lends her body to the music, and the happy facial expression follows as a matter of course. Here I wish to draw the attention of the social dancer; so frequently I will dance, and you will be difficult for the beauty tourist to see when you apply, because it will have become a habit. Cultivate the smile, if you apply, and in keeping your youth, as well as your a pleasing partner. Call VErnon 6015 ET AUNT DILSEY D magazine WOMAN EDITOR—EVERY READ 2 uld She Do?

All alone in her little home the night did not seem to shine so bright and the nights seemed darker. For a while she hurried her added sorrow in more work and more sacrifice in the bank account grew into four figures. It was during this time that something happened. This happening was the cause of her coming to Baltimore. She last ten tenants was a family of a husband, wife and one boy. She had visited them often, and then the wife took ill and died. To her surprise one day this widow husband as always to become a mother. At first she had brushed even the thought from her mind. She had some money, a home and a good job. Why marry and besides neighbors had gotten in to not been so good to his first wife. But lonely nights, the latent call of the womanhood, long pent up and the never-dying hope in all human hearts, the true virtue, true, all served to open her heart, if not her reason to arguments. "What shall I do?" Taken from the too big for her to answer and she bundled her things and went to Baltimore. "It's your money and home he Maggie loved and the love of her heart bare." "Girl, you are getting along all right just as you are, and you are getting mixed up with wife-killing or to believe me, I would marry him," the daughter said. "You want the man; the boy needs you and he asks you." Well, that certainly is enough to make a marriage; sure, marry him. They say into every woman's life, "You want her, that an hour of romance will repaint a life of sorrow. Back to the south she went after her wife. Romance won, then she she will be happy, then she she will not. But romance won. Miness in the simple every day things to train their eyes and minds to see the beauties all about us which are beautiful and cannot be tugged. It is certainly not children to judge everything by a money standard. They should be taught that the price of an article is but one of the many distinguishing characteristics of a kind of achievement should be emphasized more than the money value. "It must have taken the artist long years of study and patience to get a picture of a wave, to bring a picture to a child, to introduce that the picture is expensive to purchase. "It took me ten years to get the man who was a wave, said the man who was exhibited of unusual camera pictures when some people praised his work and exclaimed over the wonderful effects of sky, mist and wave. And he heard him speak so earnestly and with the price which his work went on, and told her children about it. She impressed them with the tireless patience and enthusiasm of the artist instead of the price which his work commands. Watch your own conversation and you may be surprised to note how easily and flagrantly you have slipped into the fault of speaking of the things you see, wear or eat. There are many values in the world bigger than the money value and the people who live the most lives. are the ones who judge life and its significance by other standards. A summary of the effect that dancing will have us an old toward beauty is this: It will develop symmetry of form, grace of movement, facel to no other goal than health and mobility and mental activity, while leads to no other goal than health and beauty. CARRY—You ask about the kind of powder to use. There are numerous colors of powder to select from these days. Take plenty of time to make the selection, being sure that the shade is one such as will blend with your tint of skin. Powder is for embalishing the complexion. We must first avoid trying to hide our natural color, we know too well that many of us wish to be as white as possible, which is often the reason that when we are dressed our whole toilet is spoiled with white or pink powder when we should use a more creamy or browner one of the many between shades that would make us attractive rather than grotesque. Apply the powder generally with a clean powder puff. Take at least five minutes to blend it in to the skin. Always put the rouge on before powder, and after you have finished the powdering then lightly run over your face with your rouge puff. Note how wonderful your face looks.

Polly had not seen Emma in-years. So soon after Emma married Ed Johnson they had gone to school. Since her bereavement Emma had lived with her married-son, but she had evidently tired of that and desired a change. So she had invited herself to Polly so she had been brought back to her husband died, for she had no children. She had a nice little house and kept it to herself as her comfortable income permitted her to do. She came to visit her once a year without no one's opinion to consult. And she considered herself as happy as any woman who be who is 61 years old, has a good appetite, sight and vigor and is highly concerned by the locality in which she lives. Of course Emma's visit was bound to prove experimental to say the least. As young girls the sisters had never been allowed to have her own way a bit too much for other people's comfort, and Polly liked also to have hers. Secretly Polly knew that she had not outgrown this fault, and I presume that Emma had not either. "But were older and we've learned to make allowances," Polly said her teacher. "I remember the Emma is my guest and if she wants salt instead of sugar in her tea why that's her privilege. I don't interfere with it." For her arrival, she appeared unexpectedly, issuing with nimble alacrym from a cab. Polly, opening the door was rather discomforted by the difference in her own apron and cap, but she quickly recovered and gave Emma a warm welcome. "You've changed considerable Polly, and her own apron and cap, but I could have picked you out in a crowd but for that mole on your chin." She entered the house and, sinking into a chair, cast an appraising gaze at her own. "You had gray wall paper on this room last time I was here. Have you ever known it?" this any better. And you've still got that old clock Henry set so much story. I couldn't get along without my棉Polly said. "Keeps good time, eh?" "Certainly. It hasn't wider a minute as I know since Henry hung on the wall forty years ago next time time files! Where does it go to?" "Land knows. Emma laughed She was plump and jolly. Polly was thin and grave. Emma had been in the house two days Polly perceived that there was a greater difference between them than their birthdays warranted. Emma had lived with young people and had young ways of crochet work; at least, it seemed sly to Polly, but she forbore expressing herself. She talked much of a musical comedy, she seen the children left home. "I wish you had the chances to see things that I do, Polly," she said "People get so behindhand in a place of this size. Of course Virginia it could have added in an impulse to propitiate. "I found it so," Polly replied. "never did like a lot of noise." How do you stand that clock on your wall? I can hear it tuck clear up to my bedroom. And when it strikes it fairly raises the roof." "You're used to it, I suppose, but then you ought to be after living with it for forty years. Oh, dear me." Emma playfully covered her ear as the clock began leisurely and with a great rumbling of its internal workings to strike. Polly flushed cool. "Only one thing could add to this performance," jested Emma, "and that would be for the silly creature on the door to open her mouth and hold Polly's mouth was shut grimly. 'Till tell you, Polly,' said Emma, scratching her nose, thoughtfully with a glint of silence that clock 'till buy you that nice little chimney affair we saw in Burton's window yesterday.' "Silence my clock," cried Polly. "I don't want to be the Tory. The very ideal! Henry bought that clock and set it going; it is fun forty years. Why, I could live without the coolness that I could live without my mother." Polly drew a long breath. "I can see," she said, "that you are not cured of your old habits, Emma." "Neither are you," Emma retorted, "What is wrong with you own life is nothing to be ashamed of. I don't think a body ought to insult upon having her own way when it makes for another person's discomfort. She began to crochet faster than ever. But the next morning at breakfast, Polly, passing behind her sister, gave an invitation of alarm. "What that sticking out of your ear, Emma?" "Oh!!" Emma was evidently confused. "I stuck some cotton in the ear I don't lie on last night when I went to bed, and I forgot to remove it that night." She said. "Polly hastily changed the subject that night Emma asked to have, her room changed. That little back room over the kitchen said, "Just as you like," returned Polly. The affair was fast taking on the proportions of a battle between them. Polly was not sure what clock. She could not understand it disturbing Emma—Emma who was used to all the tumult of a city. It was only that Emma wanted her own way and this time she wouldn't have it. No, Polly was resolved on that score. She would not touch a finger to her old clock to gratify Emma's joy. All referents to the clock ceased between them, yet the thought of it was constantly in Polly's mind and she knew in Emma's also. They were no longer happy together and it would become less happy as time passed. Emma began to spend more and more time out of the house. Morningings she went over town, afternoon she went into the neighbors; she was very sociable and was speedily becoming acquainted. Polly was sitting alone one morning when Tommy Watkins came with a basket of eggs from his mother. She was very mischievous as Old Nick, so Polly always said to herself. If Emma had been there she would not have had to leave him alone while she was playing with her sister, she came back as quickly as she could she found the boy innocently Saturday, January 50th DERS er's Clock Staring from the window. "It goes you are getting to be a real good boy, Tom," she said, patting him on the shoulder. Scarcely had Tom gone than Emma entered the house. At that instant, as though to greet her the old clock began to spasm. Instinct of pausing at the hour—cleven-went right on. At the nineteenth stroke Polly got out of her chair and went to it. "That Tommy Watkins," she muttered. As for Emma she could only sit at the old machine in astonishment hands over her ears. She didn't notice nike shoes, dangled the clock. Was there no bang it? In vain Foll peeked and prilt it kept on-thirty-seven. "My land!" said Polly. "What shall we do?" it acts like all possessions. "I'm in forever." "It's an eight-day and justly, I sound. Emma sighed firmly." Forty-six. Forty- it was deafening. Suddenly Polly rolled in and asked, "What are you doing?" The wheels mumbled an instant, effectually, then a heavenly silence possessed the room. Emma sat down. "Here!" she said. "That's a tie. Do you know, Polly, I was packing up my things to leave? I couldn't stand it." He tore to. "Polly replied, generously. 'I won't start up again as long as you'll stay with me, Emma. I guess my own sister means more to me than my old sister isn't that Tommy Watkins a beast?"

C.-Mr. W. B. Boukynight, of this place, gave the following account of his use of Theford's Black-Draught. "Just after I married I had indigestion. Working out, I got the hickle of my mouth, which soon paid by having a tight, bloated feeling after meals. This made me very uncomfortable. I would feel stupid and drowsy, don't feel like working. I was told it was indigested. Some one recommended Black-Draught and I took it after it, so soon could eat anything any time. "I use it for colds and bifidness and it will knock out a cold and carry away the blue better and quicker than any liver medicine I have ever found." Too much, or faulty chewing of your food, often causes discomfort after meals. A pinch of Black-Draught, washed down with a swallow of water, will help to bring prompt relief. Bloated sensations, eructations, a bad stomach ache and indigestion have disappeared after Black-Draught has been taken for several days.

The following is a sample of his notes: "AFRO-AMERICAN (Feb. 21-25): News—Apparently all the news of colored peoples. Unique method of presenting first paragraph in larger type (slightly indented) than the remainder of the column. Sometimes this paragraph has the aspect of a plain statement of fact; at other times the aspect of the editorial. Statement of fact all right as introduction to story; but editorials would more properly follow, than lead, the story. "Editorials—Excellent editorial in interceptive vein on closing of Brown and Stevens' bank. Interesting editorial on failure of Maryland courts to send white murderer to gallows. Three in all. 'Features—'Day by Day', '15 Years Ago', 'Old Timer', 'Professor Fudge', 'Amos Hokum', 'Watson's Cartoon'—all are very good original features. Also usual syndicate features.

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

PAGE BAPTIST MINISTERS REJECT DRIVE PLAN Monday Meeting Vote Unanimously Against Segregated Sin Battle COUNTER PLAN ALSO GOES ON THE ROCKS Suggestion That White Ministers Use All Churches Not Approved Because of the segregation involved, the Baptist Ministers' Meeting voted unanimously not to accept an invitation to participate in the proposed city-wide interment of the original deceased to be conducted here and went on record against it at their regular weekly meeting at Trinity Baptist Church. This action followed the report to that body of action taken in a special meeting when then a plan by a special committee of race ministers was not approved by the joint group. This plan, it is said, suggested that white ministers use colored churches in some of the districts. The matter was taken into consideration by the white ministers present. EXPECTED ACTION. According to the TPC, Mr. Jefferson the institute expected some definite action, and in view of the fact that the whole proposition is halted because of the race question, they decided not to participate. A joint meeting of pastors of both races was held on January 5th at the institution's fish at the purpose of laying plans for the campaign. The general plan called for distributing the city and for furnishing workers from the churches who would work out from headquarters in the various districts. Developed in the discussion that lunches were to be served and that these were intended to be served separately. This set the colored and white ministers at variance and after much discussion a committee of both groups was appointed to settle the question, a call meeting the day. Trying to adjust the situation, the colored ministers at the meeting Friday asked the white ministers to come over and hold meetings at their churches since the whites could not open their doors to joint meetings, and the group was told that the matter would be settled at another meeting, according to Rev. Robert W. Jefferson. Director Speaks Dr. A. Earl Karahan, white, the evangelist who is to direct the drive, outlined the campaign to 200 ministers at the Westminster Presbyterian Church Monday during which he made no reference to the racial phase of the program. The colored ministers were again disappointed for their failure to address the intention of the white ministers as they had been promised a decision at this time at the call meeting Friday. So far as the whites are concerned, the plans are all made and the campaign is to begin Monday February 11, announcing at the meeting in the Presbyterian church Monday. BISHOP HURST IN S. CAROLINA By REV. J. E. LOWERY Columbia, S. C.—Bishop John Hurst of Baltimore, who is the presiding bishop of Florida and South Carolina of the A. M. E. Church, was here Thursday. He had summoned all the presiding elders and the members of the executive board of the six annual conferences to meet at the University of January 21, and they came. There was not one absent. There were several of the prominent laymen present from different parts of the state. At 12 o'clock the faculty of Allen and the student-body assembled in the auditorium of the administration Building. It was crowded. Dr. D. H. Sims, the president of Allen, acted as master of ceremonies. He introduced the bishop who made a address. His wife was next introduced and she made a good speech. The roll was called and each presiding elder laid on the table $100 and a few of them put down more than $100. When they had finished with the roll call there was some laughter. The council then proceeded to fix the places and dates of the meeting of the annual conferences for 1926. The South Carolina Conference will meet in St. George November 24. The Columbia conference at Winnsboro October 27; the Northeast at Darlington, October 28; the Central at Georgetown November 17; the Palmetto at Georgetown, October 12; and the Central at Manning, November 10.

Henceforth they laid up for me a crown virtuous which the Righteous Judge shall give me at that day; and not to me only but unto all men who love His appearing." Tim. 4: 7-8. This is the favorite Bible verse of Joseph C. Briscoe, Principal Vocational Training at Douglass High School. The text next week will be the favorite verse of Dr. A. F. Saunders. Mr. Briscoe says he like the above verse because it applies to all men who have fought the battle of life.

God is not a person for us to feel affection of him persecution for "no" for he is said Paul, "For in him we live, move, and have said, "For we are also his offspring."

Agnosticism is a subtle form of faith in the existence of God. "The Unknown God" to whom the Athenians erected an after is the only true God to whom Paul declared unto them. The agnisties of Athens were feeling after him perhaps for him," for he is never far from any of us, who have said, "For we are also his offsprings." The struggling, growing faith of agnosticism expresses itself in the mood of the man who said to Jesus: "Lord I believe, help thou mine unbelief." Flippant perfection, is an unfailing sign of shallowness, self-deception, dishonesty or hypocrisy. The Almighty unto perfection, is an unfailing sign of shallowness, self-deception, dishonesty or hypocrisy. Father dwells in secret." Paul said: "The Blessed and only Sovereign, the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords who alone possesses immortality and dwells in unapproachable light-no man has seen or ever can see." "Without controversy," said Paul, "is the mystery of Godliness." Well did Zophar say: "stay thou by searching, find out God!" Canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection, what can we ask of him? What can we ask of the earth, what can thou know?" The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea. The agnostic assumes the existence of God to the extent of feeling after him and knowing when he has not sufficiently found him: "Kor that can be known of God" said Paul, "is clear before them; God has shown it to them. For ever since the creation of the world, his invisible table through what he has made." FAITH OF AGNOSTISCISM God's Spirit said: "I have been found on for you, the one shown myself to men who will was." The Spirit said, "known God," says Paul, "is clearly before them. For ever since the creation of the woven eternal power and divine character—have what he has made." "What! now, do we conclude?" says Paul not to show brightness attained it, that produced by faith in him, rightness, did not come up to it." So the found his Spirit revealed in their souls. The spirit is to have it yourself. That is what the pure in heart, for they will see God." "Ways John, we shall be like him, for we will be like him," the Spirit faith in him trumped the God himself. For what human being can except the man's own Spirit within him? the thoughts of God, but the Spirit of God." Paul says, the hearthens who were not a law of God, show brightness, produced by faith. They were poor-looking will was. "They went on living life like little of God was revealed in them. Now, faith is executive ability that kills not understood. Abstract faith has no saving by itself if it would good needs to show periods of religious decline." "Good faith with hearthens showed their faith by their good deed."

An adde next week. bid; "I have been found of men who shown myself to men who were not found of the character, which is before them; God no longer the creation of the world, his in divine character—have been clear." So we conclude?" says Paul. "That brightness attained u, that is an upbraid; while Israel strived for law that come up to it. So they found a place in their soul of God, power it itself. That is why Jesus is for they will see God." "We know that shall be like him, for we shall see it possesses this hope in him tries to make spirit fathoms every thing," says Paul or what human being can understand. "He had no good deeds to show, just so bad, but the Spirit of God. The heathens who were not striving to bring uprightness," attained an upbraid. "They were not looking for God, but went on living life like little children in them. Their ability that keeps on k abstract faith has no saving deeds, no good deeds to show, is dead, as decline, "had faith without good their faith by their good deeds." Extrinsic is taken from a discourse by the Rev. W. H. Moses, D. D., Baptist Convention. An additional excerpt. God's Spirit said, "I have been found of men who were not looking for me. I have shown myself to men who were not asking what my will was." They found the character of God, "For all that can be known of God," says Paul, "is clearly before them; God has shown it to them. For ever since the creation of the world, his invisible nature—his eternal nature and divine character—have been clearly perceptible thus when he hisses." "What I do, so we conclude?" says Paul, "That heathen who were not striving for uprightness attained it, that is an uprightness that was produced by faith; while Israel surviving for law that would bring uprightness, did not come up to it." So they found God's uprightness; found his Spirit revealed in their souls. The only way to know any sort of spirit is to have it yourself. That is why Jesus said: "Hlessed are the men of our life; they will see God." We know that if he appears, says John, "we shall for them we will see God." We know that every one who possesses this hope in him tries to make himself as pure as he is": "The Spirit fathoms every thing," says Paul, "even the depth of God himself. For what human being can understand a man's thought, except the man's own Spirit within him." Just so no one understands the thoughts of God, but the Spirit of God." says Paul, "the heathen who were not striving for uprightness" by a law that heathen would not striving for uprightness was produced by faith. They were not looking for God, per asking what his will was. "They went on living life like little children, and the character of God was revealed in them. Now, faith is executive ability that keeps on keeping on in ways not understood. Abstract faith has no saving power. Jesus said: "Faith that is good deeds to show, is dead." The Jews, during periods of religious faith, without good deeds, while the heathen showed their faith by their This sermon extract is taken from a discourse on "The Christian Spirit of Darrow," by the Rev.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Sunday, January 1st: MEN: FEEDS FIVE THOUSAND MEN—John 6:1-71. After these things, Jesus went over the table of the Tiberius. And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles, which he did on them that were diseased. And Jesus went on to tell them with his disciples. And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh. When Jesus lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come into him, and bought bread, that these may eat? And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do. Phillip answered him. Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient to make a little. One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him. There is a lad here, which lobes his harley bikes, and two small ibes; but what are they among so many? And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down in the grass, and took the leaves; and when he had even thinks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and bowled of the When they were filled, he said unto Lord our ANNUAL WOMA Messiah Baptismal H Madison Avenue, near Mo SUNDAY, JANUARY 31st 10:30 A.

Saturday, January 30th Business an A Weekly Review Of L Conducted by Y FEW FAMILIES READ METERS SURVEY SHOWS Reporter Finds That Most Users Never See Gas Or Electric Dial Readings COMPANY COMPUTES COSTSPERHOUR Housewife Can Now Estimate Exact Cost Of Ironing Cooking Or Washing The AFRO begins this week a series of articles on how to read your water and electric meters and how to compute the cost of lighting, cooking, washing and ironing. Can you read your gas meter and figure yourself your monthly gas bill? Do you know how much your gas stove is costing you each hour of use or what was the cost of cooking your breakfast or dinner? Do you know exactly how much it costs to iron your clothes an hour with electricity? These are some of the questions that practically every householder answered in the negative to a reporter for paper this week. Although once each month the gas company sends a man around to read meters, not one family in a hundred knows what it is all about. They get their bills and pay them. "Yes, I use an electric iron, said Mrs. N. G. Faulkner, 415 N. St.橡尔 street, that I have never considered what it costs to use it by the hour." "We use electricity in our home but we have never given any thought to the actual cost of burning a light an hour or day," admitted Mrs. Teulah Stanley, 2551 McCallum street. "I have never been near reading my gas meter and naturally never have considered whether my bills were accurate or not," said Mrs. Lina Grimes, 908 Madison Avenue. The Rev. Charles E. Brown, 423 N. Bond street said "I can read gas meters sufficiently well to judge when my bills are correct." Milburn Dell, 1533 E. Monument trot, who conducts a cleaning and pressing place, stated that he read both meters each month and checked up on the bills. He have often doubted the accuracy of gas and electric bills, but I cannot read the meter, and have never tried to make a check-up," said George Q'Melia, 1001 Arlington Avenue, Govans. From most households visited by the AFRO reporter replies indicate that few people ever pay any attention to the gas and electric company, although the Gas and Electric Company will glue supply charts and installation for computing meter uses as well as cost per hour of various electrical and gas appliances. Your Meter Your gas meter is a very simple instrument. It works on about the same principle as your lungs. Inside there is a little bellows with a set of valves. When the pipe leading into this bellows fills it up a valve opens and allows the gas to pass on into another bellows. The movement on the valves causes those valves to close the dials to record the amount passing through them. When you take a deep breath you do what the bellows do only the bellows holds a certain amount of gas and this is recorded by the hands on the dial. The amount is expressed in cubic feet and you pay for these cubic feet of gas just as you pay for a certain number of pecks of potatoes. The average range gas burner will consume 25 cubic feet of gas each hour. If therefore you have four of your burners going, you will be using about 100 cubic feet of gas EDWARD H A Brooks' Funeral Director Will give to all the very best Carriages and Lilmousines 1463 North Carey Phone, MAdison 6361 MRS. ROBERT Funeral Directr Sali VErnon 6016 and Industry Labor and Business William N. Jones Business Talk By C. E. Armstrong PREFERRED STOCK There is an opinion among the general investing public that Preferred Stock is much safer than common. This may or may not be. It is to be remembered that a stockholder, even though a preferred one, is a partner in the enterprise, while at times a preference may involve a little less risk, in event of reorganization or a business depression, as was experienced in the 1990s. If safety would not mean anything, preferred stock as issued today carries a cumulative clause, that is, should there occur a time when their fixed rate of dividend was not earned, it became a charge against the company, and would have to be paid. Anything could be paid on the common, and any preferred stock have voting privileges, and some do not; those that do not carry voting privileges have a clause to the effect that, should the management default four successive dividend periods, the preferred stock would assume the Company's management, until such as back dividends had been paid up. Preferred Stock has its place in any financial policy, where the aim is the raising of a large sum of money, because it enables the management of the enterprise to a good extent, and would not be interested in Common Stock. Preferred Stocks are grouped mainly around four sets of conditions. First, there are those conditions having to do with priority in dividends; second, seeing the debt do with the voting control of the management; third there are those conditions having to do with the creation of securities, having an equal, or prior, lien on earnings. Fourth, there are those conditions having to do with the distribution of assets in event of dissolution. It has been demonstrated time and time, again, that preferred stock does not offer the strength of a bond, neither does it possess the speculative possibility, perhaps the ultimate benefits have bought control of many enterprises thus ownership of low-priced, non-dividend paying common stock at bankrupt figures. By skillful financing and the deferring of preferred dividends, earnings have been invested in the enterprise after the enterprise had reached a very prosperous stage, the preferred stock was retired at a price fixed at the time of issue, leaving the ownership of a business, which had been made prosperous at the expense of the enterprise. On the hand, in event of receivership which is usually followed by a re-organization, which many times, leads to a vamping of the capital structure of the business, the preferred and common are assessed alike. In conclusion this article, I strongly suggest thorough investigation into the various clauses governing the preference before investing. per hour. The cost of gas in Baltimore is 85 cents per 1000 cubic feet. This 100 cubic feet costs you eight and one half cents. If therefore you use two burners two hours to cook your dinner the gas cost for this is eight and one half cents. Your water heater uses 40 cubic feet per hour and therefore each member of a family of five should use the water heater for 15 minutes each twice per week for baths, the cost would be eight and one half cents as the total consumption would be 100 cubic motors. Electricity The computing of electrical costs works on the same principle only that electricity is measured in Kilowatt. A unit of electric power is measured by one watt, 1000 watts make one Kilowatt hour. The present price per kilowatt hour here in the city is eight cents. A 20 watt lamp means a lamp which will burn 20 watts an hour. In fifty hours one such lamp will burn 1000 kilowatt hours of electric A 500 watt iron will therefore burn 4 cents worth of electricity each hour. You can therefore gage your cost by the kind of appliance you buy. RINGGOLD Successor. And Embalmer and courteous service possible to hire for all occasions Street, near Gold Never Closed T A.

HEARD AND SEEN IN BALTIMORE RALPH MATTHEWS There is a suit pending in the United States District Court to obtain an injunction that will prevent betting at race tracks in this state. This suit will no doubt be bitterly opposed by the birds who claim that the government is going too far when it won't let a man throw away his own money. The main objective to have about a muddy track is that we are to only one who gets struck. The thing we can't understand why the birds who always want put you next to a sure thing generally have patches on their pants. Of course they could never break up betting on the races without closing up all the barber shops, pool rooms and bootbuck parlor. We only know one guy who ever made any money at the race track he used to sell hot dogs in the grand stand. There is a sure way to bet the game however. Go around to all of your friends and get tips on the horse who is bound to win, then take your money down and put it in the bank. Some ginks are so dumb they think a Kentucky Derby can be bought at a hat store. Another boob thought that a scratch sheet was the kind they put on boarding house beds, because they kept him scratching all night. . . Of course a race track isn't a conservatory of music, but a lot of guys who were not musically inclined when they went in, have been known to sing the blues when they came out. Putting your cash on a horse's nose is a nice way to see your bank roll snuffed out. 30,000 In Cincinnati In 6,500 To 30,000 In Cincinnati Live In 6,500 Tenement Houses Cincinnati, Ohio. (P. N. S.)—The Better Housing League is making a sarmonic effort to improve housing and sanitary conditions in Cincinnati. The league's surveys have shown that the cause of such poor health conditions being in Cincinnati is the fact that colored people here live in the poorest houses and in the most unsanitary sections of the city. The main points in the last report submitted by the league are: "There are 20,000 Negro families living in 6,500 tenements in Cincinnati." "The worst housing conditions exist among Negroes." "The Better Housing League has combined with the Associated Charities to improve living conditions in Negro quarters." "The complete housing survey of Cincinnati has been made to locate the worst sections of the city." "Our work is mainly palliative and will not solve the problem. The real constructive work lies in safeguarding the future. Odd Fellows Give $5,000 Movable School Wadesboro, N. C.

The thing we can't understand is why the birds who always want to put you next to a sure thing generally have patches on their pants. We know a ginkg who has only been playing the races five years and now he has a stable of his own. He sleeps there every night. If we were to do away with the word "parley" at all once a lot of poolroom dicks would think that Americans had stopped speaking English. Some people have said that tracks are crooked. Come to think of it, we have never seen one built straight. Horse racing is called the port of kings. We haven't any royalty in this country but we know a lot of perfectly good American husbands who have been crowned for losing the weekly salary across the board. The injection is to prevent a lot of people from winning a lot of money too easily. The book makers have been caring for this very successfully in the past. We think that playing the ponies is a great game. Our only grievance is, whenever we put money on a horse's nose he always forgets which end his nose is on. innati Live enement Houses ASK TRADE SCHOOLS CHANGE COURSES New York.—Necessity of improvement in courses of study to meet the new requirements of colored workers sought by industry carried T. Arnold Hill, of the Urban League in 21 trade schools of the South. Mr. Hill decided to make the trip because of complaints coming from employers that many of the graduates of trade schools who were employed in skilled processes were not especially adapted to meet the present day demands made on workers of this age. In the post most of these schools have been training their workers for self-sustaining farm operation, thus enabling them to mend their farm implements, and machinery, to build small rural houses and barns, and to meet the mechanical demands of rural communities and small towns. But with the change in the whole industrial and occupational needs the Negro is in anyway that the group many of their students for a little different career. "As a result of this trip many of the heads of schools will come together on Thursday afternoon. February 4th, at the Russell Sage Foundation Building, 130 East 22nd street New York City, to confer at one of the sessions of the National Urban League Conference on Training for Industrial Opportunity "With Dr. James E. Gregg, presiding, and representatives from businesses in North Carolina: Voorhies Industrial School, and many others, a new epoch probably will begin in the efforts to equip our women and women in which the Negro is entering."

M.- DEAD LINE GOOD MORNING JUDGE The Afro Court Reporter The saying, "Even the walls have ears," came true in the house at 902 S. Sterling street. Wednesday night, much to the sorrow of Miss Elsie Malone who occupies the second floor of the house at 902 S. Sterling Marshall occupied the first floor and it seems the two young women had had a disagreement. Miss Malone thinking herself perfectly safe in her upper room, took the liberty to say some very mean things about the lady, the number of friends the flat below, and asking Miss Malone listened with interest as that young woman told them just what her opinion of Miss Marshall was. Little did they know that Miss Marshall was listening through a hole in the chimney. There was a little doubt left however, since the door opened suddenly and Miss Marshall stepped in the room and in a business like way informed them that she was going to clean out the joint. She did clean it out so effectively that all handed the Northwestern Thursday morning. All were dismissed but Miss Marshall who drew a five dollar fine. "Oh, well. it was worth it," she said over her shoulder as she passed out. Brown And Diggs Will Get Plenty Because they used rather questionable methods to collect a $5 debt, George Diggs, 24, and George Brown, 22 both of 246 Pierce street, are in the jail house now. Hearing a pleasant noise in the room at 246 N. Pear street, and knowing the place to be unoccupied at the time, Officer Holan of the Western District investigated to find the rear window smashed. He crawled in and made a search that proved to be futile. He was about to leave when his attention was directed to an unexplored area. A flash from his light revealed Brown and Diggs huddled in a corner. "Your honor," the two men explained the following morning, "the man who owns that restaurant owes us two dollars for a day's work and we want them to collect but we didn't get anything." "Don't worry about that," said the magistrate, "when you get down to the Grand Jury you are going to get a plenty. Take them back.

HARFORD ELECTRIC CO. 2718 Overland Ave. tf Hamilton 2486 $2,000 City Subscribed For Children's Building Put Into Clinic For Doctors WAS NOT ASKED COMMITTEE'S CONSENT Subscribers Who Gave Funds Also Not Consulted By T. B. Assocaition The $2,000 fund subscribed by citizens of Baltimore several years ago for a tuberculosis preventionarium for children has been diverted by the Maryland Tuberculosis Association into a clinic for physicians. 4. This information came to the AFTRO AMERICAN in a statement from Dr. Martin F. Shaun, M. D., president of the Association answering the question why the Association had not used the fund for the purpose for which it was given or else it is to the subscribers. PERSONAL According to Dr. Slonow, he had an understanding with a committee headed by Dr. E. M. Rhetta that the preventorium fund could be spent for some other suitable vocational work among colored citizens. Dr. Slonow's letter was: "At a later date, I went before a meeting of the cooled physicians in the purpose of discussing with them the feasibility of establishing a Teaching Clinic for colored physicians at Theravend Hospital; to instruct physicians in the diagnosis and treatment of 'tuberculosis by a physician of years' experience. "The idea met with unanimous approval and acceptance. Six physicians were appointed by the Maryland Medical Pharmaceutical and Dental Association (colored) to take the course of instruction. The Maryland Tuberculosis Association fitted up two old rooms at the Hospital, and, since November 15, 1924, their physician, Dr. M. M. Greenberg, took with the designated clinicians. During the year, four hundred patients were properly diagnosed and disposed of at the clinic. "Furthermore, Dr. Greenberg has extended his services to the hospital proper, and a number of patients have been taken in consultation by me. I believe I am a good guarding that the clinics have been advantageous, not only to the student physicians, but to the entire Tuberculosis cause as well. "I am enclosing a statement showing the funds that have been spent at the Clinic since its organization. We feel that the money has been well spent and will continue to operate the clinics." "We should like to feel that the clinics have the hearty approval of all those who contributed to the Preventorium Fund. We should like to feel that we have their confidence in the expenditure of this sum of money. The meantime, I do not believe any of our Executive Committee has given up the idea of having some day, a Preventorium for colored children, and, after that, a mittee has a plan for offering additional funds, we should be very glad to have their communications.
