HUGHES OPPOSED BY RACE ATTORNEY HUGHES OPPOSED BY RACE ATTORNEY Chicago.—Charles Evans Hughes, former Secretary of State, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court and one time candidate for president, against colored attorney in the Federal courts here for the first time in his life. James G. Carter was given the honor of opposing Hughes in a tense corpus case acting for the district, and the assistance of two white special assist- ant attorney generals. The claim of the government to authority to remove ten Chicago and Milwaukee legislators to Cleveland for trial under the Sherman antitrust law was at issue. A capacity crowd jammed the court room. To remove persons from one institution to another for trial, the government fmust show a probability of guilt. Carter contended the institution established sufficient probability. Hughes took the opposite risk. The court held the case under advisement. Doctor, Doctor, Will I Die? Yes, My Child, But Don't You Cry. No use to cry over spilled milk.

Strangled Babe Whose Mother Didn't Pay Its Board GEORGETOWN DEL. (Special)—It took a jury eight minutes to convict Harry Butler, an alleged moron, of criminal assault upon a 12 year old white girl, here, Monday. A legal lynching is a better way to describe what went on today rather than a trial in the criminal court. Three battalions of the National Guard with fixed bayonets, machine guns and gas bombs with the aid of a six foot barbed wire fence stretched around the court house kept at bay during the trial a mob which numbered between 4,000 and 5,000 persons. When the mob thought the trial was not proceeding rapidly enough, they made a rush for the soldiers and were only repulsed when a storm of fire gas bombs were hurled aside of them. They laughed at tear bombs and peered at the bayonets of the 200 militiamen who guarded the Court House, while the greeks grass over barbed antitanglement strung up - to keep them, at a distance.

MARCUS GARVEY MUST REMAIN AT ATLANTA President Coolidge Denies Pardon Application As Premature CLEMENCY URGED BY PERRY HOWARD First Wife Would Hale Garvey To New York In Divorce Trial WASHINGTON, D. C.—Marcus Garvey, provisional president of Africa, must remain in Atlanta penitentiary, President Coolidge passed on his application as premature. Garvey was found guilty of using the mails to defraud in connection with his promotion scheme of the Black Star Steamship line. He received a five year sentence June 21, 1923, lost his appeal and entered in prison February 8, 1925. Ordinarily the serving of one-third of the term is required before the his President will grant commutation. Garvey has served only one-fifth of Second Application For Pardon. This is the second application for Garvey, who has made in the twelve months he has been in the Atlanta penitentiary. It was filed shortly after Christmas. The Department of Justice has ordered the President with an okey if Garvey would consent to leave the country. Perry Howard, assistant to the 'Attorney General especially recommended lenency' application went through to the President, with the stipulation that Garvey he given three-months to wind up his affair, for this respite, according to Garvey's attorneys, was that he has $25,000' belonging to the Steamship Company on deposit with the Shipping Board. Labor had prepared a warrant under which Garvey was to have been deported to the British West Indies. The President passed unfavorably on his appointment. President Goodleigh's announcement that a Garvey pardon is premature inferred that he would be, willing to grant it sometime after the middle of the year. Want Garvey in N. Y.

MURDER TRIAL BATON ROUGE, LA—For the first time in this section of the South since the civil war, a confessed slayer of a white man has escaped the gallows or the worse fate of lynch law. Bristling bayonets in the hands of state troopers and the determination of a few court officers gave Joseph Hardy, 20-year-old colored farm hand and confessed slayer of John S. Glover, prominent white planter, a fair chance for his life, and the result was a conviction for second degree murder, with a sentence of life imprisonment, which in Louisiana means fifteen years. Facts of Killing Disputed On December 23 Hardy was preparing to move from the farm of Glover, for whom he had worked. Hardy declared he had been threaten- ed by Glover, the head of the place, but continued his plans. Evidence in the case showed that Glover went to Hardy's home and that Hardy shot him. Hardy, aged eight, man, principal witness for Hardy was taken from his home by a mob which brutally tortured him by stretching him between a tree and an automobile house. After they had applied a hot-shot battery, almost killing the old man, they warned him he would be killed in a jail. He appealed to the judge. At the trial the jury dis- juryed and the mob tried to lynch Hardy. At the trial today soldiers were on guard. The jury again asked for five hours and the judge instructed them to bring in a verdict.

COULDN'T SAY MISTER IN TEXAS COURTS SHRINE CASE HELD AUSTIN, TEXAS—Race lawyers, appearing for the first time in the Stats Supreme Court were not permitted to use the term Mister in speaking of each other. The lawyers were S. A. T. Watkins, James E. White, and Tilford H. Smith, of Houston. The case, of nation-wide interest, involved the right of colored people to use the emblem, pass word and rituals of the Shrine organization. It is that of Burrell versus Michaoux. It was 'heard on appeal Friday in Harris county. An injunction against the Housetown colored Shriners was objection by the white organization. The race order is the Egyptian Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. The white order is the Ancient Arabic Order of the Mystic Shrine. During the granting of the injunction at Houston, both the white and colored national organizations intervened and is expected to take the case. Watkins alleged the Shrino was of African origin having been founded by Mohammed in 5689. He said the two orders were not the same and the colored Shrine was chartered in Washington in 1904.

NEWS DURKEE CALLED TO PLYMOUTH CHURCH, N. Y. Howard President Tendered Pulpit Once Occupied By Beecher CONGREGATION VOTED ON MONDAY NIGHT His Acceptance Will End A Seven Year Fight Of Alumni WASHINGTON, D. C. J. Stanley Durkee will likely tender his resignation as president of Howard University to be effective at the close of the present school year to become pastor of the Plymouth Congregational Church, Brooklyn, N. Y. The congregation and officers of the Plymouth Congregational Church at a meeting last Monday night voted to call Dr. Durkee to the pastorate of the church. He has been filling the pulpit for four months. He stated Tuesday that he had made no decision, but that he is giving the offer very careful consideration. "The offer to fill the Plymouth pulpit," Dr. Durkees said, "is very flattering and wonderful. I will give the matter very full and careful consideration." In the event that he should accept, Dr. Durkees declared that he would make arrangements to continue as president of Howard University for the remainder of this school year. If Dr. Durkees accepts the pastorate of the Plymouth Congregational Church, he will fight a fight which has been waged against him since February, 1519. Dr. Durkees was chosen president of Howard University upon the resignation of Dr. Stephen W. Newman, Charles West. After the February 1919 meeting of the Board of Trustees, the fight against him began. He was opposed by all the older members of the faculty including Kelly Miller, George Cook, Wm. Ernest, Charles West, Ernst, and others. It grew out of his recommendation to the Board of Trustees for the removal of Prof. George-William Cook, who was the university's vice president and Prof. Edward Lamay Parks, who was then treasurer. Prof. Cook became the dean of the school of commerce and Prof. Parks the dean of men. Dukee from time to time has different phases. It reached its height about a year ago when it became known that he had accepted the presidency of the Curry School of Expression of Bossard, which excludes Negroes from attendance. On December 10, 1925, at a special meeting of the Board of Trustees, charges against Dr. Dukee were inquired into. After an alliance was formed, Dr. Dukee decided that the charges were not sustained. The trustees, however, voted to give a full year's salary to Alonzo H. Brown, Metropolitan Park and Orlando C. Thornton, who were dismissed in June, 1925, supposedly upon an economy program based upon a survey made by Prof. J. L. Leonard of Columbia University. Their dismissals caused future The alumni charges against Dr. Durkee were that he is incompetent in the administration of epionema system, manhandled professors, diverted appropriations, shown favoritism and insulted the race.

But what reference does this writer make to the Gospel, whether John or Luke, so long as it is the Gospel? What the world needs is the Gospel, not the truth, and it should not matter whether a white man or a black man, a Jew or a gentleman, a man or a woman, or a man and a woman, can stand the rays of the sunlight. While, therefore, some of our eager readers and contemporary writers have written articles in their vain endeavor to identify the writer, Alumnus will plod on telling the truth about Howard University until this truth triumphs in his manhood, and honorary degrees. Lies To Masterpieces What Dr. Durke, his board of strategy, and scribes should do, in reference to these articles termed "the pieces" is to attack them from the standpoint of substance rather than from the standpoint of authorship. Weenwhile, our readers are being presented pieces is to attack them from disposed once to carp at the writer have become converts. Either the author is a colossal falsifier or Dr. Durke stands合合 should lead to his retirement, and really would if he were dealing with any race of a different hue. Every Negro sincerely interested in his race should lead to his retirement, and the conclusive proof given. Dr. Durke has not one leg upon which to stand. Only an idolatrous board of his peers keeps him on the job. No Howard Professor It is only fair to the suspects connected with Howard University to advise the "Gullotine Committee" that the writer is not a Howard professor or a professor in the direction. It is hoped, therefore, as the inimitable preacher-president-biographer of Howard University begins to assemble his grudes for the June sacrifice, that no innovation in the prescription on the charge of writing these articles. The writer can conceive of no more reprehensible act than that of a Howard professor who would preside, despite the unassailable truth which they contain. Humorously Reported It has been humorously reported to the writer that a number of professors not yet named among the professors even fired on the unsupported charge so that they might draw a suspended sentence with unsuspended salary. The professor is no job at Howard University, save the president's, that pays as well as that of a dismissed professor—full salary for full idleness. The trustees have boldly declared in action that they are dismissing a president for doing nothing, it is only equitable to show the same courtesy to certain professors. Honorary Degree Bait But to revert to this authorship business, the writer actually has a name, but prefers the pen name of the president, but what would happen if the Durkees forces knew really who he was. They would try to quiet his noise by some fancy offer—perhaps an amateur, or perhaps a weak, would not know how to wear. The fact is that the writer is sincere in his attitude towards the problem, he discusses weak, he has no reason to doubt, and is positively unpurchasable. Critics of Dr. Durke have come and gone, but Alumnus is going on forever that is, as long as there is a good reason. Let us add that, therefore, that some well-meaning creature devoted to the cause of his race, is portraying real conditions at Howard University. Trustees Meet The Trustees of Howard University have just had their mid-winter meeting, and let us pass in his resignation to take effect in June has not been ascertained. Such a course is his only way out of his difficulties. The alumni are holding back just now to escape. He fails to embrace his opportunity, the heavy artillery will be brought out for the June meeting of the Board. The alumni are fast fading, and Dr. Durke has been compelled to spend most of his time defending his administration and seeking more desirable employment elsewhere. Surely, his administration cannot go unchanged, and must be made, and for the good of Howard University this change must go into effect before the opening of the next college year. Faith Broken Of course, our readers understand that Dr. Durkee had been vacationing at Howard University for seven consecutive years, without knowing what a "romantic story," when lo and behold a little voice from New York whispered in to his ear. "Go thou into the world and tell thy people of the romantic past," he said, "supplies them with clothing and food and renown; and in order that Dean Miller, thy intellectual superior, may not do thee, damar—in thy absence, you must do thee, damar—to calculate the country as close friends, though in thine own heart thou thinkest him a 'pup' and not a 'competitive puppie', as that vile Alumnus hull quoted thee." Excursion All arrangements were being made for this excursion. Dean Miller was seen with clothes all pressed for the trip. He began bidding adieu to fellow The Afro-American—South's Biggest and Best Weekly professors, who had to stick on the job for their income, for he was certain that he was to have a big year on the road. But something happened—just what the public may have imagined—the "romantic story" still lodges in the throat of Dr. Durkee, and while he has been waiting, a "tragic" chapter has been written. Over his protest the four university professors have been arrested and no work. The action has set the whole country talking, for it cannot be reconciled to any of the events leading up to the tragedy. Durkee Angry That Dr. Durkee is angry from his feet up to his ears, is a well known fact. How could he be otherwise? For example Dr. Durkee broadcast the "romantic story" had a chance to express his opinion concerning his "chum", and politely but politely put forth his opinion that he is not one educational opinion that Dr. Durkee could defend before a Harvard or a Yale faculty. We really ought to dislike Dean Miller for going so far from home. We really ought to defend before a Howard faculty? Neither Harvard nor Yale has a monopoly of pedagogical judgement, and that is why minded persons in this country that Dr. Durkee can convince, and that body is his own trustees board. Miller's Diagnosis Dean Miller's clever diagnosis of Dr. Durkee's qualifications was in itself a severe punishment. Likewise, the nurses must have humiliated Dr. Durkee; but the worst blow was that of the trustees, who forced the reinsmen to dismiss professors, with full salary. Under the circumstances, it is doubtful if Dean Miller will ever get a job with Dr. Durkee, nor with Dr. Durkee. Another professor will have to substitute Dean Miller, but the promised story must be relied on, or the trustees must exert more public why the plan has been changed. Wonderful Progress At the recent board meeting, Dr. Durkee the领了“wonderful progress” of the university even since the beginning, and the “progress” is translated in terms of numbers only. On several occasions the writer has called attention to the unwholesome condition of the students, and the indication of the weakness that is resulting from such numbers, but Dr. Durkee, in want of a real theme, is continuing to invoke his numbers to save him. The reader must know that the great numbers of Dr. Durkee's college are restricted to the freshman class. By methods already described, Dr. Durkee has filled his College's books, however, are not judged by the students who enter but rather by the students who are graduated. There has been an exodus of the students who have ought to give us just a word or on this phase of his organization. The number has been estimated as high as 300. If this be true, the students will be viewed with even greater suspicion. If any degree of scholastic greatness can be attached to mere numbers, Dr. Durkee has a right to capitalize his achievement, but should let the country know that his humble freshman class. What interested people want to know is if the scholarship of his host is compatible with the standards that should be maintained at Harvard University. Standards Overlooked That Dr. Durkee may not feel that the writer is not watching very carefully every move connected to the writer wants both Dr. Durkee and the reader to understand that standards at Howard are now being overlooked and that there is an opportunity to boost about his host. To be so specific that even Dr. Durkee may understand, the writer should the College of Liberal Arts just to fool people. A certain rule requires all entering students to take an in-depth course, in this simple test are given special supervision, and if they subsequently fall in their courses, they are supposed to be dropped. This very college year, a number of students who did not pass in their intelligence test, and subsequently failed in their courses, were given the same number of numbers. If this is a misrepresentation, let the public have the records in minute detail. We want no dean's contradiction merely, but we want facts proving that this statement is true. The student in clear phraseology is that students of low scholarship who should have been dropped by an existing rule have not been dropped. College Jokes Whenever a college has no rule that works for the weeding out of students of low scholarship, that student Howard University has the numbers in that freshman class. It can have even more. All that Dr. Durkee needs to do next year is to open his doors to a citizenry for five night courses, and offer a few courses for Saturday and Sunday only, and he will soon have the largest university in the country. He really ought to do this, but he is trying to hide behind his numbers. Poor Scholarship What the writer wants the reader to understand is that Howard University has in numbers the greatest freshman class in its proud history; but in scholarship, the worst situation is that the students of poor scholarship are being harbored just for the sake of making possible periodic utterances of big numbers. Numbers have never made a college and never a university, and Howard is on its way to ruin, if the work already has not reached that condition. Student Teachers The infuse of big numbers has made successful teaching in many of our schools. The introduction of the so-called "fellow" system can mean nothing to students, who are standard of the college. Students have no right to teach students as a regular procedure. When a student does so with the full understanding that professors and instructors listed in the catalogue are to teach him. Howard University is a student institution for an advertised professor and place the entering freshman under any such bogus teacher. Howard may be studying this very minute under a student who may be studying above the class. Parents and guardians send their children to college to receive the best available course to teach their wards. This, however, is the situation at Howard, and it will continue just as long as those interested remain silent on the matter. Restrict Members Student-instructors would not be necessary at Howard, if numbers were restricted. The policy should be not to take in more students than can be taught properly. TheCollege should admit beyond its students and not for political service of the president. No college should admit beyond its instructional facilities. Classes should be of reasonable sizes to make teaching possible. When classes are thus taught, students must take a policy of exclusion and inclusion. It is by this means that a strong college can be built. Faculty And Alumni The greatness of a college rotates around its faculty and its alumni. Strong faculties and successful faculty are key to the institution. Weak faculties and unsuccessful alumni injure the reputation of a college. In no possible way, can numbers play a part in the real world. The faculty is keeled, unfortunately, does not understand this; otherwise, he would cease telling the trustees and the public of how many students he has enrolled in, which are applied for positions in the fall. Of course, Dr. Durkee does not know the elements underlying university greatness. He could not be sure of the students themselves are devoid of pedagogical standards cannot create standards. He would have to bite at them. He would have to swallow them. If he did swallow them, he could not digest them. Big Versus Good While Dr. Durkees continues to fan his numbers on the slightest provocation, the writer will continue to insist that a big colored university will always have to prove that it is a college, and limitless, the situation might be different. Howard furnishes an excellent example of what a crowded college has to do; it has to employ a large number of students and a practice is fraught with dangers. Whenever Howard University gets a real president, the first move should be to make the college a good one rather than a big one. No Royal Road There are no short cuts in edu cation—no royal roads to achieve AGENTS HALT $20,000 LOUISVILLE FRAUD AGENTS HALT $20,000 LOUISVILLE FRAUD LOUISVILLE, KY—Alleged to have gained approximately $20,000 fraudulently by posing as an inventor of an arm to grab mall bags off trains, John H. Kerr, 40 years old, was arrested Saturday at his home 1018 West Liberty street, by United States secret service agents who were in hiding there. Had U. S. Check Kerr's scheme, according to the agents, was to exhibit a United States treasury check for $73,000, which was found on him and claim that it had been given to him for his "incentive" to work for him. He would go about among guildle people of means and tell them of his supposed brilliant achievement. He would paint an idle picture of success, wealth and fame in the immediate future, he would usually observe that he needed a little money to have access to the craftsmen's success, and with the assurance that any bread cast upon his waters would be returned to the easter a hundred dollars more, and with the more canny, would refuse, but for the majority, only the sight of the $73,000 check was necessary to convince him that the imposter was worthy, and that untold wealth was immediately in the offing.

Too many unskilled hands were used in the education of the Negro youth. Too often has he been rushed through some of the so-called colleges with a diploma big enough to paper the exam. Too often has he been forced to too many colleges for colored youth have felt that their greatness lay in the picturesqueness of their colleges. Too often their degrees. Neither catalogues nor sizable diplomas necessarily make good colleges. Strange to say the least, the colleges often never regarded. Dr. Durkee stands as a living example of a head of a big university for Negro youth whose sole conception of a university is one with swelling numbers. With really intelligent people who appreciate standards, Dr. Durkee will make a better hit if he reports how many students he has sent to college and how much glamour scholarship. Let our good blundering, blistering, vindictive friend tell us why he is not operating this way. He will be the one to drop students of poor scholarship. Let him tell us why he has permitted standards to drop so low that he is now admitting to Howard University, where he is glamorous weak in scholarship that they are articulate. Let him invite some colored educators of standards to take a look at his college classes in which students are being taught by students. Durkee Misfit The Negro youth merits much better treatment than can possibly be accorded him at Harvard or Duke. Durkee is president. It is an inexpressible shame to Negro intelligence that a person so palpably incompetent. Dr. Durkee will be persecuted to wreck the best equipped university that Negroes have. Colored people, after all, are a "peculiar people." They talk about their experiences and their givatives, and then proceed to throw away those that they have and actually fight against receiving those that are their due. **Ignoreance Preferred** Except in lamp post postions and club-house chairs, colored people do not express the kind of seriousness that indicates that they are in dead earnest about their own incompetence and ignorant leadership. They will fight harder to retain ignorant leadership than they will fight to create ignorant leadership. They are still adhering to their slogan, "Take the world, but give me Jesus." The white man has taken them all and the world is also taken their universities, placing at the head of their largest institution a man who can hardly make the grade of presidency of the most insignificant university in this or any other country.

Negotiations have been carried out for the past several years between the two bodies, but because of the unfate and humiliating entrance terms held out to the colored men they have refused to entertain the proffers seriously. Admitting the advantages of being associated with the white body which is a part of the American Federation of labor, the colored men have increased of wages which the union scale would demand, this consideration, it is felt, would not counterbalance the discriminatory section of the terms of admission. The colored operators would not meet jointly with the white mem- bers of the union branch with a curtailed voice in the deliberations of the whites. Joker Found Colored members would be expected to work in on other houses except those having patronage of their own race, but white operators would not be made to promise that they would not accept work in colored houses, because those jobs that are just as disfasteful. It has been learned that the members of the Protective Association do not think that the white local is laying all of its cards on the table, and that the former member owns the table, but with the unique scale would be without positions even though members of the latter body. Operators Employed Ten members of the Colored Operators' Protective Association are regularly employed in the various military positions. There are about six other members who act as副 commander, managing the military positions. Members instruct young men and coach them for their examinations before the State Board. Members and the houses in which they are employed are: Regent, William Causby; Royal, Moxley Willis; George Woodland, George Woodland, Lincoln number 2; George Doughass, Lafayette; Chester Seward, Star; Charles Vodery, Dunbar; Miller, New Goldfield; Amber Doughass, Roosevelt; Queen Eddie Jackson. An almost unanimous vote at the last meeting decided the proposal to merge with the white local under present conditions.

As for the acting, Lloyd was to think that he ever can be.

The first three days, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, "Stage Struck" featuring beautiful and popular Gloria Swanson will be presented. The following opinion of the country's most widely read reviewers will prepare fans for what they are to receive. Glorious Gloria had a line of customers a block long and six-ply clamoring for admission. Nor were they disappointed. Miss Swanson rewarded their patience with an entertaining variety of capers, delightfully portrayed and thoroughly enjoyed. To say that Gloria's body gifts herefore unsuspected, would not be correct. Gloria, "Manhandled" taught us that she can revert to the Mack Sennett motif with credit. Nevertheless, many of her admirers will be surprised at the anties she unfolds in her neat comedy tent. You can visualize the situation by picturing Gloria as a down-at-the heels waitress, always in trouble, and the target for laughter everywhere. There is a charming sensitivity in her entertained that hangs each time the brink of a tear. In other words, a sort of Charlie Chaplin pathos. Picture Gloria as the masked marvel in a female boxing show and you have a further idea of the possibilities for hilarious action. These possibilities for hilarious action. These possibilities are made the most of. That alone should sum up, succently, the star's contribution to the film. Of interest is the star's new identity, the very first actress added by the wistful little waitress, but who on his part, idolizes actresses. Scenes of a floating theatre on the Ohio River, contribute an element of novelty. Ford Sterling, as the ballyhoo drummer for his own show, adds an appreciable amount of amusement. Thursday, Friday, Saturday, "Seven Keys to Baldpate" a picture adapted from one of fictious best sellers in many years. The screen version has been faithfully done. That Douglas McLean is the star is another point that should sell" the picture to every fan in Baltimore. The story briefly tells of a young author in love with his publisher's daughter is due on an ocean liner with a completed manuscript of a novel that the publisher has advertised widely in advance. His mind is so saturated with thoughts of his beloved that he forgets to write the book. On learning this, the publisher forbids the marriage. His daughter urges to do at Baldpate Inn, reputedly be haunted, with an amazing interruptions during which the material of the book furnish the basis of many grotesque adventures. "The Freshman" Dunbar, Monday, Tuesday A wow! That describes Harold Lloyd's latest and best, briefly and accurately. It is a truly refreshing comedy, just chock-a-block with laughter and containing thrills that make the onlooker sit tensely on the edge of his chair. It is literally crammed with gags—good ones. And Lloyd executes each so well, that something whispers many must have originated in his own head. In the first shot there is a chuckle. This develops into a laugh and the laugh into hilarity and near-hysteria. It is the finest the best of the several big sequences in the film are the shots of the final football game which is so all-important in collegiate life. Poor Harold, the goat of the school smart alexes is obliging that he has been led to believe he is a "sub" on the team, where in reality he is a lowly water-boy. There are thirteen minutes of play remaining. The opposition leads. And our hero's team is being awakened by having a man knocked out in every down. The substitute players are eliminated, only Harold remains on the bench. There is no other choice—he must be sent in. He is. And in true comedy fashion he wins the game, and realizes his ambitions. This football sequence is as exciting a bit of screen work as was ever filmed. It makes one forget that he is not in the stands getting all boots on. That football sequence is the big trick. But there are others galore and not a foot of film without a comedy element that registers. Lloyd knows that there must be paths in true comedy. It is here. Never for an instant is the hero a buffoon. He is always a lovable, gay, high spirited lad, who is up against a tough game and don't know just what it is all about. But he's a sticker, and the stick-to-it-elites carries him to high victory. After all, there is even a moral in the film if one cares to think of such things. He suggests that Harold has perforce to lose his trousers so frequently but he loses them as only Lloyd, and his gag men, can, and thus passes. welt Theatre Drudj Hill Ave. Program—Only 10c To All DAYS CHANGED DAILY WING MONDAY, FEBRUARY 15th FLES" HOUSE PETERS G 'AMERICAN" and RAYMOND HATTON EFERRED" OS and CHARLIE MURRAY William Fox presents a Ro- e East and West— IN HORSE" Reels PRODUCTION Yon and John Russell D THE FRYING PAN" D THOMPSON LAW'S DAUGHTER" K and EDWARD HEARN this pass As for to think that sweetly accept excellent hard with our recol "The Lost adventure of thur Conan D has eclipsed he See the slaughts of the placed on any lace Bevy area On Tuesday roaring cast in his nickname. is Wednesday' Thursday, "Ace on Saturday.

Follow me through the darkened nadirium from which a few hours ago soared through the throat echoed a laugh at toward the stage in wonderment the antics of the comedian. We want to hear all of the speakers are all enjoying a much needed rest, and the only sign of human tenacity is the sound of the orchestra pit where, "King Swazey" the demon cornetist is directing Vivian Weight the pianist and John Wheeler the drummer himself. "The Syclone drummer." The Rehearsal The director's duties demand that he conduct the chorus in singing numbers and that the tenor in the music of the dancers. The tenor, nice to the dancers, Suddenly Swazey asks the pianist, during the rehearsal of a number, "Where are you?" to the pianist, trying to find where you are. Just a friendly exchange of repartee and soon forgotten in the pursuit of dute duties, the pianist is sent to that land of mystery the stage. There are 24 1-2 persons the other half is the Little Sister. The pianist is the "Baby" Doris who although not as celebrated as "Sunshine Summy" or "Fartin", who has traveled as a singer and tutor, Miss Marie Caution, a Baltimore teacher, also a member of the company. The lady at the end of the line is Hazel of "Baby" Doris. Chorlster Sasses "You're not doing that step correctly," says the director to the girl near the center of the line and following her woman's neck, "Well, Mr. Lewis told me to do it this way. thereby withering the director, who with a sage skin of his head does not answer, nor does he correct again.

Stagge hands with a bored look await the end of the rear fence, and the fence for the midnight show. Over there is Homer Hubbard, Singer and business manager, trying to duck. Dumbo is in show. Hubbard is efficient and also patient, the latter quality is essential. At least the grind is over and the troupe goes home for a bite in breath before the midnight show.

It is a revelation in production and cast and is destined to go far. All of this is said too on the strength of witnessing just the running time allocated the company will not be able to present the complete routine until Friday at the midnight show to be held. Without drawing the long how it might be impossible to collect a duplicate of such a genuinely talented and experienced group of principals in a journey of many days. For instance there has been a great amount of public interest and the kind of a form that old gentlemen like to gaze upon. Throughout Monday evening's supper show the lady brilliantly danced in Kit Dio Straine that meted her a perfect evening. And Billy Cumby, formerly featured with Jack Reid's Record Breakers on the Columbia or courtroom series, would be a bit whisky which the comedian makers seem to have lost the pattern. Billy shone like a lighthouse on Sahara Island, but when he then wrecked the show with his specialty. They simply couldn't get enough of Billy Cumby. They seemed to be true. Among, those present is also James, or if you'd rather, Jimmy Marshall, polished, save and splendid. And he suddenly understood. They let him have his way on Monday evening, and were with him to the death. He essayed "Hungry For You," and the singing of the number placed him in the centre of a bovy of girls, a position for which many a man would give his right away. Marshall is liked in brightness. Billy Andrews, whom we have missed if he ha; played here before, wasn't disliked by the customers either. Andrews has his own personality, it personality, and looks the part of a straight man who has discovered the secret of success in portraying those roles. He registeres with a gift of wit and wit, a whisheeled melody with more fascinating staging. Dimitrius Conway was given little to do, but did that little well, and thereby contributed his talent to Grace Smith, had her Baltimore followers gasp breathlessly, first at her dancing, and then at her frocks. She has arrived permanently. Mae Barnes and George Harvey have performed of the "Runnin' Wild" Quartet have added Musea Williams and "Baby" Jackson to their harmonious foursome, and the addition, to our mind, equals in every respect the first time we have come to the delight of course with her delightful clowning, and Miss Harvey with the low tones that are the delight of auditors everywhere. The show was written by these singers, and difficulty in being started again. THE COOPER'S HT RAMBLE with Entire New Show OF 60 PEOPLE WAR-DAZED WOMEN I X Presents international.

The office is only too glad to receive letters telling of the achievements of individuals and groups, and always broadcasts them through the columns of the paper, but whether you are having news or not news of your activities is always always. Often such letters are the means of informing friends or managers where you are. Several of our opportunities have gone begging this season because we have to locate the merges wanted, on time. Programs Needed orks they yell. "You can't tell a pla in the name of everything reason know the name of companies sma without a program?" This thourery timely comment by J. Homer need of such things it is Tutt' country, and has seen correctly all At the ball parks they tell, "You can't tell a player without a scorecard." Then how in the name of everything reasonable is the theatre patron expected to know the name of companies small or large, or names of vaudeville has without a program? This thought was occasioned after remarking in a very timely comment by J. Homer Tutt last week. If anyone knows the need of such things it is Tutt who has trouped all sections of the country, and has seen correctly all of the things upon which he looked. Artists Thriving intended invades that cabarets and the houses (Famous Players) are made from the straight vaudeville which good to the colored actor. The popular demand for our acts has play havoc with the houses that arabia people have absorbed hundred companies. Wherever there is a decrease of the local theatre or the better theatre or quality of entertainment they can give a false sense of security enough to take advantage of the ing and once they are enabled to soffer in the cities of the North and the "honk a tonk" show is The unprecedented inroads that cataracts and the booking of vaudeville in the Publix houses (Famous Players) are making on vaudeville by attracting them away from the straight vaudeville houses is an ill wind blowing much good to the colored actor. The foregoing coupled with the sudden popular demand for our acts has created a situation that bids fair to play have with the houses that play to coalesce solely. The Columbia people have absorbed hundreds of companies in their mixed and all-colored companies. Wherever one of these companies shows, there is a noticeable decrease of business in the local theatres. In places where we are not admitted to the better theatre the customers endure some of the inferior quality of entertainment they can get because there is nothing else; thus giving a false sense of security to those managers who are unscrupulous enough to take advantage of them. But the race is constantly traveiling and once they are enabled to see the superior form of entertainment offered in the cities of the North and West where they meet at will, the "honk a tonk" show is desined to lose its flues. A Glimpse Of "Lulu Belle" Opened in New York on Tuesday at the office winner. Colored members of the group something like $5,000 per hour of appearing on Broadway and a great Belasco makes the wheels on it. I have, of course, regretted that I need some of our most talented appreciative of the advantages of The colored performer is, as asked but this world, he has accomplish big and unassailable reach his rightful place out of which we are not content to see crasher Tammany Young, whitepson, but as the older folk used to in the prejudices of the America Uncle Urbane white, as a team, him, his little friend. Nor at any time bigger fighter mix with as white womens telling nothing new for it is undershipe to Bert Williams was, when being the Folles during his first secrect that you will have no stage an told the writer that out of it the first season he found that follow "Lulu Belle" opened in New York on Tuesday and seems destined to prove another box-office winner. Colored members of the cast are receiving in box-office numbers something like $5,000 per week in salary, the undeniable advantage of appearing on Broadway and a chance to intimate how the Great Belasco makes the wheels of the drama revolve with his wizard. I have, of course, regretted that the silly hypocrisy of America has forced some of our most talented folk to play second fiddle but am also appreciative of the advantages educationally, and financially received. The colored performer is, as the man in the plays, "Advancing out this world." He has accomplishment with patience, preparation for the big chance and unassailable morals and tact is destined to reach his big place of of which a portion of his 100 per cent of the citizens are doing their dearest to stop him from alienating. Of course we are not content to see such ludicrous concessions as the gate crasher Tammany Young, white, taking precedence over Edward Thompson, but as the older folk used to say, "It won't be always so." As a concession to the prejudices of the American people in every scene in which Leonore Ulrich white, as a vamp, has a love or vamping scene, the opposite character is white. Nor at any time during the show does the colored prizefighter mix with a white woman. The fact in the preceding sentence tells nothing new for it is understood that one of the counsels of Jesse Shipe to Bert Williams was, first the concession was contemplating entering the first season "Have it sunshine." That means that you will have no stage contact with a white woman. Mr. Williams told the writer that out of a cast of more than a hundred during the first season he found that following the given advice was sensible. T. O. B. A. The last meeting of the board of directors of the Theatrical Owners Booking Association was a most harmonious one according to reports coming from Nashville, where the meeting was held. The election of Dr. J. A. C. Lattimore, of Louisville to the board seems to be satisfying to all interested. J. A. JACKSON, of the "Washington Tribune," who represented the Colord Actor's Union, presented the cause of the artist to the board. The board deferred action on the requests of the actors, leaving their settlement to an advisory board. Knowing the ability of the union's representative we are assured that the presentation left no room for doubt in its clearness and forcefulness of delivery. By the petitioners and the cleaning up of some of the insinatory dressing rooms reported to be maintained in so many of the houses on the circuit. One all important representative noticeably absent from the conclave was a representative of the "cash customers" who might have asked, had he been present, about the classification of acts, and when the influx of absolutely non-entertainment material would cause or be corrupted, general manager Sam E. Reevin modestly admitted that "We had no other income, but the 5 per cent that we collect from the performers." Whatever else the circuit officials expect from a somewhat doubtful value given in return, is difficult to see. We haven't ever heard of them before, and would like to know more about good or bad ones. The 5 per cent income is dependent for its aggregate on size the number of acts that pay it, and there is a suspicion that quantity has been sacrificed for quality quite often. The T. O. B. A. has done a service in attempting to furnish some consecutive booking, thus bringing order out of the former chaos of "wildcat" days. There are many conscientious managers holding franchises on the circuit who turn grey trying to give somesemblance of a decent show. For these and other virtues the T. O. B. A. is due and credit. But there are also those who the Kickoff of the holiday time," seems to be carrying the joke too far. It is true that there is a wealth of talent unrefined and undiscovered playing the time, and equally true that a large number have graduated into the big time houses, but this has been in spite of the T. O. B. A., and not because of any effort that its officials have expended. The Colored Actors' Union is a worthy movement, and will, with growth, commence to clean house from within. There are men and women, the commuters, the gentlemen, the kind hearted gentlemen walking through the land interested in the poor actor from a purely brotherly point. The Union is going on and upward under the leadership of such men as J. A. Jackson and S. H. Dudley, who in the purity of the day, "mean the actor good." It will thrive by disciplining its members and compelling the takers and dead to improve or quit. The Union has a joint responsibility with the T. O. B. A. in seeing that dressing rooms are clean, and that rooming house prowess welcome the profession rather than refuse to accommodate them as many do now. The circuit and the Union are interdependent one on the other, but for any lasting success, both MUST COME CLEAN.

TYLER'S LETTER DALLAS—The "Runnin' Wild" Company played to a packed house at Monday's matinee at the Ella B Moore Theatre.

They are both remembered for their work in "Broadway Rastus" last season. Ace Gorges portrays the Widow Gorges of Albany.

Choristers Union NEW YORK.—Chousters in cabarrets are contemplating the formation of a union similar to the Choris Girls' body of Equity it has been learned. Many of the girls believe they will prove beneficial. The issuance of contracts by managers would be of undoubted mutual protection to both parties. Recent upsets that have put some of the girls out of work almost without warning are cited to show the girls a wise one. Not in Yet York. In Paris and Constantinople, there is a demand for trained girls. Two companies are here this week Eldridge the "Talk of the Town" and Sammy Lewis' Bamville Dandies' held over from last week. At the second show on Monday evening both companies divided honors on a bill that was decided entertaining. The Eldridge company was recently reviewed at the Star and has undergone but slight change in the excellent all around presentation of their material. Leon (Sonny) Gry continues to lead in a Chinese impersonation that is made in change as he is made in the cast, having intact the same dependable artists that appeared in the East Baltimore Review. The audience at Monday night second show was sold, and that completely. Sammy Lewis and his gang took up the burden at the conclusion of the first part. The characters and there were two new ones added to those: Ralph and Texas McRae.

"King" Swazey and his trusty trumpet, found some unknown melodies and didn't keep them inside the horn, the heavens Wright and John Pickett the drummer, also added their bit to the general high average. Miss Katie Milton, appearing as buxom and as charming as ever, duplicated her conquering tactics of last week. The artist sang becomingly and looked as good as she sang. She has that rare knack of making a vividly possessive sense of every face she touches at home, of the ladies of our professional acquaintance.

Basketball, Baseball And Gridiron Sports SPORT OF ALL SORTS Comments From Pens Of Leading Sportsmen Filled with the spirit of their triumphant invasion of the West, the Baltimore Athletics are faced with their long audacious trip last Friday night when they humbled the Alces of Washington by a 35 to 25 score at New Albert Auditorium. After playing 12 games in as many different cities in 15 days, the hardest assignment was a basketball game in the orange and purple machine appeared to be in the pink of condition.

Captain Poles Captain "Google's" Poles was at his best, accounting for six baskets from angles that would turn a center green with green to a crisp green. Greeks topped them from every position, not except standing on his head. Fans merely yawn now when he hips them in over his head with one hand. They look for Poles always to do the imp. "Herb" Koller was benched early in the game "for four personal foots," Herb was about the only player she show the strain of the hit. He missed five free tosses and appealed five off his stride. Easker went in Keller's position. Harris and Wheatley Harris and Wheatley worked like a clock in guard, while "Scrappy" Brown's inheritance of a good block of stock in the Sparrows Point Bank has not affected his career. Weatherless was the high spacer with three goals for six points. "Soup" Turner was put out of the game in the second half of a foul route. However, he was a thorn in the side of the Greeks while he was Trig. Whitted and Carpenter led the attack for the team, who attempted a minute rally, the Sonic blazed many substitutes on the floor in an enderade to stave off despair. Rough The first half was featured by rough playing and Referee Gibson was kept busy calling 'em. Neither team was able to find the basket. The accounted for the ball's half score. The team was held up several times when Turner, visiting captain, protested decisions. Protesting decisions was something new to the team they indicated in blasting Turner for opportunity. When he was finally out of the game the house resounded with "booes." The game was deserved for several minutes before the attempted shot between the back board and aailing attached to the ceiling and fell in the basket.

Although most fans do not know it Orthel Roberts of the University of Iowa is one of our best track athletes. The present season will be his third year on the U. of I. track squad and it appears that he will be a good one. A few words about Roberts will not be. Louis, Missouri. He took a slight interest in track athletics there, but did not show any special skill. Upon graduation he entered the University of Iowa, and went out for the freshman track team. He earned his freshman numerals and prepared himself for the varsity. Mate Of Charley Brookins During his sophomore year, Roberts was a regular on the Varsity team. He competed in the quarter mile run, and made a good showing in all his races. He showed much promise for the future. He was a member of the championship Iowa mile relay team along with Brookins, Moscow and Noll. Roberts was changed from the quarter mile run to the sprint races. He developed into a 9.5 100 yard man, also run the 220 yard dash in 21 3-5 seconds. He placed fourth in the Western Conference Championships, and in general proved to be one of the best of sprinters in the West. Roberts ago Orthel went out and took a practice run in the quarter mile. He claims she doesn't care for the distance, but just the same he broke the gym record by a full second and right now looks to be the best quarter-miler in the West. So, just keep your eye on Mr. Roberts, of Iowa. During his sophomore year, Roberts was a regular on the Varsity team. He competed in the quarter mile run, and made a good showing in all his races.

While speaking of quarter-milers the greatest of them all, Binga Dison article about Dismond in the Big Tie This paper called Binga "the greatest record proved it." Four years of comebat from scratch in the Western of the Conference. The great Ted J. and Dismond got even by beating three great squares. This seemed to prove the Meridith.

When he came from but from all indications he could bad when he is way out in front, a wish some one had pushed Binga Dison just right. What a record he might. Bilee F There is nothing the writer likes veteran U. of Chicago trainer, taking bicycle比赛. He towers by Mayer. He is great. Eck is his manager, and the bounty affairs and clean up quite Europe together, with Taylor winning. While speaking of quarter-milers, why not say a few words regarding the greatest of them all. Blinga Dismond. The writer read an interesting article about Dismond in the Big Ten Weekly a couple of weeks ago. This paper called Blinga "the greatest at all 440 runners, and his During his four years of competition, Binga Dismond was never beaten from scratch in the Western Conference, and only once outside of the Conference. The great Ted Meredith defeated him that one time and son Sidney, even by 12 points. That to the tape on no fear that three selections. This seemed to prove that Binga was greater than even the great Meredith. In May 1916 Ted Meredith raced to a record at the I.C. A.A. Games. He hit 47-22 pounds. He was pushed all the way and won by a seant yard, completely exhausted. That race set a new record for the quarter mile. Ties Record A few days later the Western Conference championships were held at Chicago. Meredith was dismissed. He was pushed all the way and had content to race along and just beat the opponent. But on this day he went right out to the front and stayed there. On coming home, he some seated behind and get the record. Down the stretch come the great runner, with his powerful stride eating up the yards. His nearest opponent was twenty yards behind when he exposed the tape, and it seemed that he could have gone faster. What he could have done had he been pushed, no one will ever know but from all indications he could have run faster. A man never goes as good when he is way out in front, as when he is pushed to the limit. I wish one had pushed Binga Dismond on a day when he was feeling better. He was right behind him. There is nothing the writer likes better than to get old Tom Eck, the veteran U. of Chicago trainer, talking about Major Taylor, our famous old bicycle race. Tom swears by Major Taylor, and declares that he was the greatest bike rider that ever lived. In the days when he was a county official and clean up quite a bit of money. They even toured Europe together, with Taylor winning practically all his races. Professional Running The old days of professional running were great days. Steve Farrell, the writer's coach at Michigan, tells some merry tales of the time when he was a county official. The old runners were owned by promoters in almost the same way that race horses are owned today. The owner provided room and board and training facilities for his runners, and paid them a regular salary out of the winnings. The runners did nothing but train and race. That's the reason. There was one favorite trick that brought in lots of money, but which was rather dangerous. Practically every village had its foot-racing champion and the villagers would back him to the limit in races. Of course the professional runners knew this, and they capitalized on the fact.

In The Good Old Days One of the runners of a stable would go to a town and stay there a few weeks. During this time he would manage to get into a few races with the village champion, and of course he would win by a large margin. That would make him popular with the inhabitants, and especially the betting element. He would win a couple of races against the champion of some other village, and that would increase his popularity. Then his team-mate would appear in the village one day, and offer to race anyone in town. After much dickering and hemming and having, the match was then arranged. The villagers bet their all on their champion, and the second professional and his manager would put up all they had. Then would come the race. Of course the village runner would lose, because that had been arranged before hand. Then his teammate and manager would draw down and beat it. As for the man who had lost the race—he just kept on pointing with the clothes were hidden. And that's how they did it in the good old days.

Langford, Veteran Of 600 Battles, Now A "Professor" By THOMAS WREN Chicago—Sam Langford, the Boston Tar Baby, whose career in the standpoint of the great number of battles, as well as the character of the men he fought, promises a comeback. Langford's title is now professor for he is a professor of boxing and "the manny art," as he says, in Kid Howard's gymnasium in May he may be seen daily. If the title does not cling to him it will not be his fault, for he has consistently refused to go the easiest way, the panhandling mooting way of Kid Broad and many others. Refuses Charity But Sam won't do it. Easily as he might frequent Chicago's dark borough, he meets the men in all walks of life who frequent it and who know him either personally or by reputation, he won't do it. He doesn't even cop his self-identify title—"professor." He hasn't many patrons studying the manly art from him; he has the same kind of self-identify title—"just about one thin dime." But he still has the long Lantford spirit, and the Tur Baby pride, and he won't beg nor moan, panhaule—and He's Plantist. Too Half-blinded by the punishment he has received in more than six hundred ring battles, the team must be trained to music as well as the stancec thuds of the thousands of gloves that have landed on the old boy's head. Samuel plays the piano mighty too. Not in the gilded supporter's hands, but in the old piano in the bare gymnasium, close to the ring, he plays to his few customers when he has tired them out boxing and they want a rest. It is while he plays fervently, yet indifferently—that the old Tar Baby grows reminiscent, talking of his many engagements, the boyhood sometimes, his brother and sisters. "How many battles have you fought, Sam?" they ask as his piano is played. "Oh, he." says "Jemme see. O. it's so many I've lost count of 'em in the last year or two. Must be—must be at least 600. Yes, 600; and I guess everyone has earned a half a million on 'em." No Money. But Life's Rosy He thumps a little bit and then he spins his quaint philosophy of cheerfulness, full of fading a bit more and nothing much to look forward to, he can still be optimistic and cheerful. "Today, chief," he says—he calls himself a fading man, but eliminates names for his fading vision—"today, chief, I have only just about one thin dime, yet everything I enjoy life as much as if my pockets were lined with gold. "Yes, he continues, "a half a million is quite a pile to spice up," But, then, I’ve one consolation—a whole lot of it was spent to help other fighters that were temporarily in a rut or done something. "I traveled around the world twice fighting-in the capitals of the countries I visited. Paris I was signed to fight Joe Jeanneette. While I was in training there I was visited by practically every down and out boxer in France, seemed they all came to Philadelphia and wanted to get back home. Ask Fare To Philly "Just the price back to Philadelphia, Sam, old boy" they would say. Well, I gave it to them. The cost of sending it to Philadelphia just about cut my receipts from the Jeanneette fight in half. But they were all good boys, and I just couldn't leave France and feel content knowing I had left them stranded. I saw same conditions in London, Berlin, Hamburg, Madrid and in practically every European capital, for I had engagements in them all. It was the same in Australia and South America. But underhand, the complaint was the good job I took the money and it gave me an opportunity to help men who were less fortunate than I, and I'm glad of it." "How old are you, professor?" one will inquire. "How old is You, Nova Scotia." Born in Nova Scotia. "Well, chief, I was in Waymouth, Nova Scotia, March 1888," says the Born Baby. "I was the son of a family of seven, four and three girls. I haven't been home in a long time." Tennis Champion High School Grad Philadelphia—Miss Lula Ballard, National indies singles champion, graduated from the Germantown, Pa., high school last year.

Picked up late at night she is dismissed, and she wears a shameless smile of the worst of human degradation—a woman caught selling her body and soul in the street. Martha Booker, 1040 Pennsylvania avenue, and Martha McCullough, 514 McCullough street, are arrested. Hill admits the transaction and will later go free; but the woman, Miss Booker will face the judge in Criminal Court. Her face too is written deeply the scars of life's lost battle and the sifting of her soul to ashes. The man always goes free and the woman pays. Both will be held, how-ever until their case comes up in court. An Unnatural Father The most serious crime to come before the Magistrate during the morning was that of a white man, Ralph Coursey, a street car conductor who lives at 1511 Braddish avenue. He was killed to death with a broom stick, according to police charges against him. You shudder as you hear the Magistrate read the terrible charge and hold him without ball for the Grand Lury. You realize the crime among representatives of races with greater opportunities than you have. Get a Laugh A hearty laugh comes with the next case. Mrs. Lena Harris seems to have found that she could make better matrimonial arrangements with a back number husband and invents an idea to have him arrested. Mrs. Harris might have once been an unsophisticated country girl, but she is wise now. Her boyish bob is now a well-hinted painted face in the latest style. "Judge, he ran me out with a knife," she testifies and asks that she be protected by having him ordered to stay away. That stay always, the rest guarantees, but it gratifies Johnson has seen many such cases, and tells her in plain language that she can't work that stuff on him. Harris, who just begins to have the truth dawn upon him, is disgusted. He just warns that she just missed the kill herself. Forsaken Mothers Then comes a couple of forsaken mothers. Mrs. Evelyn Williams, 125 Jinder evening, with a boy in her arms, tells the Magistrate that Jesse Williams, 2428 Drudg Hill avenue, is falling to provide the house is in ruins of a broken home and an unfortunate child growing up into this world and the kind he proceeded to beat Neal over the FOR SANITARY AND TASTY Food Visit the New Lincoln Restaurant DRUID HILL AVE., AT BIDDLE OPEN ALL NIGHT GOOD SERVICE — GOOD FOOD EVERYTHING SANITARY Geo.

Emory Neal, 1602 Federal street, has been info his restaurant, an American company, this country long enough to speak English he knows that it is safer to club colored man than a white man, and head with a club. He has a little something about prejudice for he tries to influence the Magistrate by attributing a vulgar statement to Neal.

To Negro labor belongs the credit for op- ening the South, clearing the forests, draining its swamps, and preparing its soil for the culture of sugar, rice, tobacco and cotton. The Negro has enabled the upper strata to produce, what culttire the South can boast of today. The Negro has not been merely a,dull laborer. Out of his brain has come the skill of the mechanic and artisan: This aptitude has gone still further, even to the extent of producing in the ranks a number of in- ventors. td "py DR. GARTER 6.

Thoughts Of The Founder Thoughts Of The Founder Selected from the writings of the founder or of the AFRO-AMERICAN "Life's experiences coming thick and fast are the soul's appointed means of growth. "No man lives unto himself and no man dies unto himself" is a true and trite saying. A man can live in this world without, in some manner, weilding an influence for good or bad." Anti-Hampton Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia: That it shall be the duty of any person, persons, firm, institution, or corporation, operating, maintaining, keeping, conducting, sponsoring, permitting, house, motion picture show or any place of public entertainment or public assemblage which is attended by the white race and this colored race to each other, certain seats therein be occupied by white persons and a portion thereof, or certain seats therein be occupied by colored. So reads the first paragraph of Delegate Mansburg's (Dam-Hampton) bill introduced in the Assembly. Since public policy in Virginia has established separation of the races in public theatres and colleges, charged, it is evident that this bill is aimed at such places as Hampton Institute and other educational and religious institutions. Should this bill become a law, Hampton would not only be compelled to reserve a section of its chapels and auditoriums for whites and guests but also members of the faculty would be compelled to occupy separate and segregated seats. Episcopal churches where the races mingle—as "places of public assemblage"—would also come under the Jim crow bar. It would not affect materially white theatres or places of public assemblage. It would affect such places owned and operated by colored folk. In effect colored folk Jim crow themselves. No wonder leading white Virginians oppose the measure. It is not conceived in the spirit of interracial good will or helpfulness, but rather in the spirit of malice and hatred. There might be enough ignorance and bigotry in the Virginia legislature to pass this bill, but we doubt it. 10Commandments Dr. Joseph Silverman, rabbi emeritus of Temple Emaneer-El, where Mr. Harry Burleigh sings, opposes the reading of the ten commandments in week in New York public schools. His objection precipitated an issue which has not been settled and cannot be as long as there are Jew and Christian, Catholic and Protestant. Says Rabbi, if the ten commandments are to be read, which ten will be selected, those in Exodus xx or the other version in Deuteronomy v? Will the teacher explain the selective whole church has omitted the second commandment. Will Catholic teachers be compelled to read it to the children. The fourth commandment teaches someone to be the Sabbath, Saturday or Sunday's Shall children be taught the meaning of the seventh commandment or the others about coveting a neighbor's wife, without comment? The more we think of what Rabbi Burleigh says, we are convinced that he is right. But why limit teaching of the Bible in the schools to the ten commandments? We recommend to the school's School Board Maryland rule which requires the Bible to be read at opening exercises in public schools. Under this rule which has worked well those who desire to may seek commandments, but many prefer the Psalms and the Sermon on the Mount. Woelper, P. M. Reappointment of Mr. B. F. Wooler, Jr., as postmaster for Baltimore is a source of satisfaction both to a community and to postal employees. The former has profitted during his first term by the increased efficiency of the collection of mail, and in the establishment for the first time of postal substations in colored communities. The latter owes Mr. Wooler an appreciation for the special clerkships and also for the first time a colored foreman at Falls Station, where parcel 'post' services are provided. Mr. Wooler has made an admirable beginning in his first term in office. It is to be hoped he will be able to motivate his employees' motions in service based on merit and longevity rather than upon col Page Twelve Call VErnon 6016 Writes The Afro E fare and the Square Deal Pro-American Building, 628 N.

He is not contending for a principle in government, but for a repeal of the dry laws, and another term in the State House in Annapolis. Last week the Governor announced his candidacy for a third term as chief executive of the state, thus fulfilling the first part of our pro-public agenda. There are others, like ourselves, also, who see in the Governor's state rights speeches simply an argument for the repeal of the federal dry laws. Such a one is W. D. Jamson white, Washington correspondent for a number of weekly newspapers. He says: "I am afraid" Governor Ritchie's plea for state's rights is in fact a cover for a plan for the open and farant violation of the prohibition amendment. "Let us go back and read what the eighteenth amendment is: Section 1. After one year from the ratification of this article the manufacture, sale, or importation of liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the United States and all territory subject to the importation thereof for her age purpose is hereby prohibited. Section 2. The Congress and the several states shall have concurrent power to enforce this by appropriate legislation. That section two is where the Ritchie crowd got busy; some them have talked it to me. The police Volsted act and thus, under the concurrent power, leave the prohibition enforcement to the state. How much enforcement would you have in Maryland under a Ritchie? They would boldly snap their fingers at the constrictor should be a sacred thing to all of them. "Do you think the states enforce the amendments that don't suit 'em? Look at the fifteenth amendment. Do you remember "The right of oltigens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the Constitution, on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude." "Don't you know that this amendment is openly violated by the Constitution, the southern United States, Negroes and a substantial proportion of the population? Why not lay the cards on the table, face up, and let's all take a look at the rights of a pain to have a crowd praise about state's rights when what they want is state's wrongs. Under the plea of states' rights advocates, the beer bottle as the standard of my beloved Democratic party of Jefferson, whether it's Governor Ritchie carrying the ballot, nominate a man who does that is suicide. I'm for the constitution; if an amendment doesn't suit us, let's repeal the amendment; if we can't let us be on the level about it." cautil with that amendment from a Jeffersonian viewpoint. Maryland Missouri she must drink. And so Missouri has no business talk. Maryland she must not. But that time's pat. The amendment was not a situation, and Maryland ratified it. So did every other state except Rhode Island and Connecticut.

Mr. Duke Gives Mr. Duke Gives Announcement of the gift of a million dollars to Kittrell College, North Carolina, by Mr. B. N. Duke brought the tobacco magnate a basket of letters from scores of small and large Southern schools. They asked for everything imaginable from new buildings and libraries to pipe organs. There would be fun in opening the letters addressed to Mr. Duke and philanthropists like him were they not so chocked full of tragedy. Colored folk have been, so shamelessly robbed in the public administration of school funds in Southern states, that those who labor poorly paid to eradicate ignorance and sloth grasp at every shadow of hope or assistance. Yet not the richest American can scratch the surface. He can only distribute a bit here and there like the General Education Board, the Stokes Fund or the Jeanes Fund or like Mr. Duke put a million into a school like Kittrell with the belief that he has given the cause of education an added impetus UPWARD. The oSuth thanks God for B. N. Duke, for John D. Rockefeller, Jr., who gave Hampton and Tuskegee a million and George D. Eastman who gave the same schools three million. These philanthropists recognize the great service Nero education can gender America and they put their dollars to work down here where a generation ago New England school girls came and gave their lives. WHEN YOU ARE GONE This poem was written in honor of Mrs. J. E. Cotton and read at a Society of Company's, Mad. just before leaving here to live in Philadelphia. The life that is sowing precious seed, The life that serves in time of need. With a friendly word or & kindly death, The life that will be missed when you're gone. The life that is sympathetic kind, The life that feeds the hungry mind, The life that gives light to the weak, That kind of life will be missed when you're gone. The life that's courageous, bold and brave, Always willing some one to save, That kind of life will not even the grave, That kind of life will be missed when you're gone. VELMA D.

Best Days Are Yet to Come To the Editor: Out of an age of heathenism, barbarianism and brutality, we have gradually pressed our way to the age of enlightenment and civilization where men and women fight for justice and equality before the law. We have been satisfied and let well enough do. This is one of our serious mistakes. Let us always aim for the summit of the for higher and better things in life. Our happiest days are yet to come.

As popular as the Executive appears to be, his attitude on the Negro issue will be to be objectionable to voters of the group and therefore quite impossible. With all of his talk of tolerance and state rights the fact remains that the Negro will be objectionable by mobs, segregated and discriminated against and this without any appreciative preventative methods urged by our would-be-president, the Negroes and Republicans in this state, the Governor may not care for or need the Colored vote but in total and northern states where the Negro will be glad to recken with them should be fortunate enough to get the nomination in 1928.

THEO B. MASON. DAY BY DAY WITH WILLIAM N. JONES The average young man and women are coming to feel that the church is degenerating into an organization of politics, avarice and greed. Many of them tell you that they join because of its relation to their business, professional or social lives, and NOT BECAUSE OF ITS SPIREDNESS. Of the inmost men to blame for this growing apathy are the ministers, who though preaching the doctrine of sacrifice of a Jesus Christ, who left the golden line streets of the Heavenly World "without a place to lay His head," they themselves join in the mad rush for gold. In the very nature of religion, acceptance of the call to preach should carry with it the willingness to sacrifice the things common to mankind. If Christ had come to this world and set himself up in a palace of marble, His religion would have crumbled and long since passed a The Catholic faith has gained most of its great strength because of its profound spirit. It is the spirit of the priesthood, women of the cloistered convents, and men who bury their lives in monasteries, for the sake of mankind, have been called to the priesthood that the opulent leaders of protestantism somehow lack. Just as leaders in their own lives are often the ones the clerics just as they replace the cross by the dollar sign, so are the followers slowly tearing from the shrines of their souls the image of the crucible of the world. If the present increase in the ratio of divorces to marriages keeps up, a statistician reminds us, we will come to the day when all marriages are divorced. We need a tract for a part of life instead of "until death do us part." For the last ten years this increase has been steady. And when figures of families which break down into divorces occur, the situation becomes alarming. Many young couples get married with the definite feeling that if it does not work they can get a divorce. We need a tract for marriage ages or even part-life marriages where couples will only contract unions for definite numbers of years. Think of marriage contract reading "for five years with privileges" or "for ten years with obligations." What is back of so many divorces, you ask. Some argue that the new freedom of women will demand a revolution in the marriage relation. others say we are getting too much love from as a basis for mating. Have man and woman the moral right to go through the legal process to live together for any other reason than they love each other? Mrs. Helen Key, the noted German woman writer and philosopher, says that love without marriage is more moral than marriage without love. As a social workers can not ignore the fact that something is basically wrong and the quicker it is found and righted the less human suffering and sorrow we will suffer and broken home and neglected children. The one outstanding organization in this country working at the foundation of racial stability is the National Urban League which has just an annual session in New York City. Although interested in general welfare, this organization properly concentrates in interest about industry as it affects the group most in need of the new factor of wage distribution which entered in one way or another into its consideration this year. The most far reaching discrimination measure this country has and the one which costs the group most in life and happiness is the common discrimination in industry. We might argue all other workers would never stay right as long as we lack equal industrial opportunities. Health, housing and standards of living depend upon incomes and incomes for our group depends upon the distribution of income. Marriage Vow Urban League second year here. Let us hope that most of its energies will be centered about the basic factors of industry. Here are where they are mostly needed. The Avarice Of Ministers "The avarice of ministers of the Gospel," said the Rov. George F. Bragg, Jr., to a group of ministers, "is causing a loss of faith in the This coming from a minister will no doubt give you something to think about. What he means is that the human desire to get possession of this world's goods is destroying the spirit of sacrifice in the church. Some time ago, this writer stood in a group of young men and women when a well known prelate passed away and was driven by a well grown chauffeur. "There goes the money of wash women and hard laborers" said one of them. There was an unmistakable look and snarl of contempt on the man. "We long ago a well known pastor took for his text that passage in the Bible relating to the rich young man whom Christ surprised by his kindness and gave it to the poor. In soul stirring words he told his congregation that real religion made it necessary for them to make real sacrifice; but that day he rode home in a sedan wagon on foot. That this kind of leadership is slowly sapping the life out of religion is evident to any social worker who can see the deep-seated man of the basic ideals of Man of Sorrow in the church. Here in Baltimore ministers of the gospel are dealers in real estate; some of them are in business and some of them even invade the hotel and gold for their own personal comforts. Book Chat BY MARY WHITE OVINGTON Chairman, Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. 'THE WEARY BLUES' By Langston Hughes with an introduction by Katherine K. Knopf, 919 Fifth Avenue, Broadway, New York, NY 10024. Langston Hughes, city bred, told a group of us the other evening that he had never cared for the poetry that as a child he read in his school books, but never cared for no understanding. Why should he for instance, be interested in Tennyson's "I come from haunts of cool and hern" and "I come from sally-" when he had never seen a coot or a horn. But one day he read a poem in a Kansas newspaper that the editor was holding up to ridicule. It described a shiny house, even the garbage can. Here, he found, was poetry that appealed to him, and he began himself to try to write in such a vein. This I think, is typical of Mr. Hughes' method and lands and thousands of children read Tennyson's brook— "I chatter, chatter as I flow" and enjoy the sound of the words they have seen a brook or not. But Langston Hughes never was intrigued merely by the melody of tripling syllables. Even as a little boy he must draw as clearly as he could, the picture of he really saw. "The Werry Blues" is a book full of pictures, your own, of things that have swept across a young man's vision. Sometimes they are out-of-doors: How hard and sharp is the meen to-night? How hard and sharp are ghostly. How thin and sharp Is the slim, curved crook of the moon to-night? or this? Sea charm The sea's own children Dad's own children They know but that the sea is strong Like God's hand They know But that sea wind is sweet, Like God's breath. And that the sea holds A wide, deep death. Some times they are of people: Her face is white, tears red Her face is like an ancient camoe Turned brown by the ages.

Kelly Miller Says Kelly Miller Says The Negro race has come to represent a well understood body of people in the eyes of the civilized world. There is never any mistake or misunderstanding of its meaning. It embraces all non-white peoples of African derivation. No other term that has yet been devised so adequately meets the requirements of an all embracing designation No great race or nation of history has ever been consciously concerned about the name by which it should be designated. The fact is, all such names are purely accidental or circumstantial in their origin. When a people comes to be known by a certain name which becomes firmly attached to them, its original significance fades into utter meaninglessness. We boast of being Americans, because the term derives its quality and tone from the people to whom it is applied, onT one in ten thousand ever stop to consider the origin of the word, or whether the Western hemisphere rightly or wrongly bears the name of some insignificant Spanish discoverer. The Indians have a name of mistaken origin, supposing that he had found West India, called the natives by a corresponding name. When the geographical errr was discovered, no one ever dreamed of renaming it. Miss-Named The so-called Indians would indeed have just complaint of their misnomer, if they were sensitive on such points. There is certainly a Western red man and the Asiatic brown race after whom he has been mistakenly called. It is entirely conceivable that someone would have some time in the future, who has nothing else to do, devote himself to the study of the origin of place, names and racial designations. He might indeed strenuously argue that his mistimer applied to his race. His sense of wounded racial sensibilities might even induce him to invent a brand new name to look and laugh. He would have merely his learning for his pains. The term "Indian" has come to describe a well defined and understood group of people. It has grown to signalize their character and their culture. No one ever mistakes the meaning. It would be as absurd for this act as it is absurd to understand name as it be for the Irish to complain because their name was derived from their insular situation. A name is like a chameleon. It takes it quality from the people or person to whom it is applied, wholly independent of its original nature and meaning. Often times a white man is named "Black", and a black man "Mr. White". Who ever thinks of the incongruity of it? The Negro race has come to represent a well understood body of people in the eyes, or perhaps I had better say in the ears of the civilized word. There is never any mistake or misunderstanding of its meaning. It embraces all non-white peoples, of African derivation. No other term that has been yet devised so adequately meets the requirements of an all-embracing designation. In its origin the word means black, but just as all racial designations, it has far outreached the limitation of its origin. It includes not only African tribes of sundry colors, but all shades of blended colors caused by the intermixture of blood. A black Negro, yellow Negro, and even a white Negro, is no more incongruous a designation than a blond or a brunetto white person. Remove Approprium Objection is often made that the name has gathered about itself a certain degree of opprobrium. In the case of the skunk, it is due to the name but to the condition and character and behavior of the people who hear the name. The name is better groomed and better be groomed by betting the behavior than by dogging the designation. A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. Just so the choice of the skunk would not be altered, giving him a sweet smelling name. Another objects because "nigger" a term of reproach and contempt is used in the case of contempt. Terms of contempt do not depend upon etymology. The "yankees" were first called out of derision and contempt. When we got angry at someone, we used "Hun" to express the dept of umbrella and heinousness. A good friend of mine calls his wife "Hun" as a term of fondest endearment. It is interesting to note how the designation of the race has shifted with the lapse of time. A hundred years ago, the African Church led to be the prevailing and the preferred designation. The African Methodist Episcopal Church, and the African Zion Church, indicate the enduring in the day of their origin. African Baptist churches were common in that day. Then "colored" people "persons of color" became common. The Colored Methodist Episcopal Church came fully a half century later than its African prototypes. The African Church changed奔changely. Note the Colored Young Men's Christian Association. The Negro National Urban League. The Association for the Advancement of African Society for the Study of Negro Life and History, etc., etc. "Colored" Inadequate The term colored cannot be used to supplant the term Negro for obvious reasons. In the first place the term too broad. It has no reference to color. It merely stands for all non-white peoples. Indians, Chinese, Hindos and the rest fall equally under the shelter of this general term. Then the designation is too weak, and lacking in color. I wonder how far Dr. Work would have gotten with his enterprise, if he had named it "The Colored Year Book"? A Society for the Study of Colored Life and History could harden the make up the appeal which Dr. Woodson has inspired into his organization. Race Designation *“Negro” Sanctioned After all words are determined by the usage of the best writers, the usage of Frederick Douglass, Bookkeeper Washington, W. E. B. Dullbob,rence Dunbar, W. E. B. Dullbob, James Weldon Johnson, E. W. Blydon, Leroy Locke, like practically every first class mind that has eschewed the race question in either written or spoken form, use the term Negro. Well might it be made to alternate with "cooled" for historical recollection of the term slaves. When I was a boy I was a Presbyterian weekly called "The Africa-American Presbyterian" so far as I know this term was invented by Sandra the editor, a native of Chicago, S. C., who later became the president of Biddle University. Some what later Timothy Thomas Fortune, editor of the New York Age, wrote that he was a man which has stood in good stead and done splendid service, not as an adequate substitute, but as an occasional substitute for the term Negro, not apt to the West Indian, Southern American or African Negro. With these three terms at his disposal, "colored," "Negro" and "Afro-American," the writer and speaker has considerable rhetorical latitude Afra-Merican The American Mercury has recently introduced the term "Afra-Merian," which shall watch its progress with interest. In the meantime several papers are using "race men," so to avoid Negro by circumciliation. This mode designation is defeated by its own designation, which knows what race is meant. If Negro publications were to be real only by Negroes, the term might well be understood within the context of the United States. I should write in the New York Times that a race man had a store in New York City, my reading knowledge whether I was talking about Jews, Italians, Japanese or Negroes Capitalization The question of capitalization gives rise to nice grammatical discussion. If the term Negro is used merely to designate color, as in "the Negro need not be capitalized." But it is stands for a definite group of people, then grammatical consistency is required. If the term Negro" stands for a racial term much as "English," "German" "Chinese" or "Jew." It is not a question of personal or geographical origin, but of present day application. I have seen in some of our fastidious publications such grammatical abbreviations included in the list 10 Englishmen, 1 Irishman, 3 Japanese, 4 Indians and 2 negroes." The last term has the full sense of group designation as it is consistent with the fact that consistency should have the form: Epithets of Contemnt All will agree that it is bad manners to apply epithets of contempt or reproach to one's fellow citizens or the insult. The Jew, the Irishman, the Italian are keenly sensitive to this point. But no people would change their name because it manned persons related to insult them. I do not see how any one can ask for Nessus or any longer, if it ever was a racial contempt. The best writers and speakers of the race use it freely, while the best meaning managers seem to regard it as the favorite. man, Japanese, Irish and Indian have no regular feminine form. Negroes are the national feminine of the gro. But we reject this grammatical advantage with vehement indignation, because ill mannered white speakers and writers use "Negroes" in numerous designations of the womanfolk. I do not know of a single Negro writer or speaker who uses this feminine form. This but shows how impute female meaning to so many short form and natural meaning. The force of the objection must me conceded. However, little is to be gained by using especially when you have no power to prevent the misnomer, even though the motive be evil. After all it does seem to me to be a great power to spend so much time hagging over the name by which he would like to be called. "All fools are still at war about a name.

Public Health Service CRYING: A child may be taught to cry when he is held up, to hold and rocked, when he is put down he cries and so he is taken up and carried. He soon learns that if he will only cry hard enough someone will come and get him. A child needs a short period of crying every day to develop his lungs, the habit of crying and what things should be corrected promptly. A baby can be broken successfully of this habit by letting him cry it out. Once or twice LEARNING TO WALK: The average child begins to want to stand at the tenth month and to from the twelfth month, until seventh, not just standing and walking should not be encouraged. A child never should be urged to stand and walk, especially if he has his will not recorded as soon as the little loss are strong enough to hear his weight. LEARNING TO TALK: Learns to talk (and the people around him speak) at first, sounds to him is but a jumble of sounds as a foreign language is to us. Later, he begins to learn that certain sounds may certain people or things It is very necessary that he should hear these words and sounds correctly spoken and that when he begins to talk he should hear correlated but do not use the "baby talk" to a child.

"He is the most stubborn child I ever saw. He just won't give in, no matter how long I keep at him." "I repiled Mrs. Wood, hoping Meredith had not heard his mother as he took his place in the schoolroom. Some time afterwards they had another little talk—the mother anxious to know how she has regard for her son. He stared at her. "Perhaps he is a bit stubborn," she agreed, "but what I see is the beautiful quality of perseverance. Why, Meredith wouldn't think of giving her a chance to just just hear his points in our Friday debates," and Mrs. Bush's eyes fairly sparkled. "But he so gets angry when I contradict him." continued his mother, "and you know how Eileen a child "Perhaps he is often wrong, but many times one can agree with part of what he says, and that the touch of thinking along the main line. When he sees a "gut clearly" he is very ready to admit it. I suppose none of us like to have our opinions but aside too lightly," she shirred. Of course Mrs. Clark was glad that Meredith was doing so well, but it hurt her to feel that she had been wanting in tact and management, and honest and honest to recognize the superiority of Miss Bush's method. "I believe that you think that he will outgrow the fault," she persisted. "I wonder if it is really a fault in Meredith's case. It seems to me that the boy has a strong character. His judgment will improve, of course, and he will be the thing often of the sexes to right." "Thank you, Miss Bush," said the mother, quietly. "You're right, and it will do me good to admit that I believe that I have often been the target of antagonize Meredith after that." "Antagonize!" that is the key-note to many a childish rebellion. Mothers seem to forget that children are not immune to the same methods with them that they do with others. A woman who treats her guests with the kind of allusions that might prove disagreeable, will irritate her own child to the point of desperation. A woman who is not readily to the mood of another. A mother often doesn't realize that because she is overworked or not feeling well, she herself is in an irretention.

The first requisite of smartness is beautiful nocturne, "Grooming," really such grooming which intercepts the delicate skin of the wearer, or suit for the evening grooming begins with the early morning preparation, by the bath of the entire body, to the finish of the details of airing, cleaning and pressurizing the skin, and for the evening occasion. Horrors! I do not mean clean, just because you assert that you have taken a bath in the morning folk; something else has to be done to bring that delicious freshness, that purgeance of clean odor that does not bespoke perfume. I mean that skin that has that faint tones of eris or violet that clings to These are the days of culture and scientific discovery, and thanks to the chemists, the women who have been so neglectful to allow a skin odor to develop, they have been so easily correct it, if she just will take a little time and attention to it. The unfortunate side of this subject is, that those who need deodorant remedies most, are unconscious of their need. It is very difficult to tell any woman that she is unpleasant, yet it is far more helpful to her to do so than to be unpleasant. That belongs to the glandular peculiarities of certain people, that are nauseating to contact, and the amazing thing is, that those who are so afflicted have not sensitive organs of such health need the skill of a physician, and the uncessing use of the bath, together with a deodorant, less of scented toilet, sweet soaps, and more use of oirr or unpleasant scents. Above all change the clothing daily, or twice a day in such extreme cases. If the outer garments cannot be washed, wash them in water that the garment is hung into the fresh air; keep aerate or some cleansing fluid in your bath room to apply to the places where there is the flesh of your body. It is in your own skin. Such precaution will give one the freshness of the "smartly beautiful womant"; freshly sweet and odorless is the essential requirement.

Saturday, January 9th B. MABEL C. CHEW J. D. was petted. As Grand Exalted Patentee of the Lesser Court of the Grand United Order, Pheasantwood accustomed to ruling with a high hand and an outstretched arm. But now his authority was threatened, hence 'J. D. was petted.' He was to proclaiming in the Covenant Meetings of the Antoch Baptist Church, that, "My Gawd is a Gawd that I will proclaim to hear their Hive voice." After saying this at the top of his lungs, J. D. usually felt some of this power pervading him, but now this strength was lost to As usual the missing rib was his downfall. Some three weeks before he had met a high brown edition of *The Times*, he learned when he learned that in addition to being tall, slender, and brown-stimmed said flaper possessed a High School education and was the subject of his biography, his subjugation was complete. The damselfish that surely one occupying such an environment of culture and money, so he vampied him, fortwih—immediately. Now J. D. had been exposed to subjugation and taken. He could read, but from long inaction was a poor writer. Then too, like most folk with a little learning and a prediction for Secret Orders, he had been less than he did acquiring information. With the spongelike quality of memory and the uncanny power of reproduction of the uneducated he had been able to only occasion. He knew his bodge ritual thoroughly, and hence had risen to giddy heights. The state he was admired and caused by all the ladies of the Household of Martha. Consequently J. D. thought that he had only to look at a fair charmer to His rule worked well on this occasion and the hitherto sophisticated young man, L. D. Cook Lina to his home which was modern in every respect and showed her his telephone, electric lights, automatic gas range and furniture. Lina's heart was wax. J. D. had no intention of marrying Lina. This beautiful home had once been the proud possessor of a large furniture by his side, furnishing it piece by piece on the installment plan. She had died during the wife's life, but he often fought because his female admirers had not hesitated to come to his very door after him. Though he was not the wife, his wife was not patient Grisela and certain society ladies had had much funery and many false puffs torn from them. L. D. had been many years a curry and glassware and when the Flu mercifully made him a widower, he registered a vow (without one fond memory of his wife's faithfulness) He kept his home in perfect order and often entertained his female admirers. This was very convenient or those murals to his or their Excalibur Ruler's soul, but whom a cruel world and unsympathetic husband might misunderstand, if they did so openly, young girls he often offered to help them when they then lulled their suspicions to sleep with wonderful dinners prepared by his own hand. Lima was no exception. She was woken up in service because friend Papa had planned for her to be a school teacher and this plan had not met with her approval. J. D. persevered her to spend every sparse minute with her and her "Madum" fell out he kept her there, over night and soon she was staying there. But Nemesis was on J. D.'s track. Lima had a large musty brother who was studying Theology by correspondence and working in a sugar plant by day. His usual habit was to lift two two-hundred pound sack of sugar into a black or to the store room. Papa having been transferred to another city, brother sometimes was well, and that she deposited a part of her earnings in the old sock. Notice his emotion then when on calling at his sister's lodging place he learned that she had left three weeks before. Imagine his alarm when on calling up at her when she was not there. "Lina left us three weeks ago," said Mrs. Barnes in answer to his request to speak to Lina for one minute. Brother Bud decided to go to J. D. Busts' house. He had met the gentleman and had received an urgent request from him to Lina. "Lina, that follow is a ringer." He "ain't said." Lina. "He wouldn't be in the position he holds if he didn't tell I do care if he is the king of Africa," said Bud, "Any man that writes another man's name with a small letter don't know writing marks like turkey scratching." "That isn't always a sign you don't know anything," holly repelled Anna. "You'd never know." He manly likely to get out of practice when he has secretaries everywhere he goes. "He ain't nir ver had nopractice to teach him." He'll admit. He sure picked a line where his talents can shine. Most of those secret order folk are so dumb themselves that if a man can spout off the riffle with Lina, he speechless with rage and flounced away without another word. When Brother Bub called at J. D. Brown, the door not dreaming it was he. But one look at his face made her nervous. Being a man of few words he entered and sat down. "This is where you've been the three weeks since you left Mrs. Barnes." "Well, er-er, you see I was out work and I didn't have to pay here, and——" "I'll give you twenty, minutes to get your clothes and board the next task," she said. "Iana began to cry, 'I can't go all he comes home,' she said. 'He'll be in soon. 'I'll wait.' said Bud. After a. while iff D. arrived, While it was iff regarding wronging said, Sold. Page Thirteen Stories, Puzzles Prizes Given Butts Change? "Why, I was trying to take care of the poor little girl. Her being out of work and everything." "My sister don't need you to take care of her, My father has always been able to do that. If she wasn't so smart she could be her mother, what do you want to do? I am here to look out for her in the absence of my father." Butts hemmed and hawed but finally seeing no way of escape, he hurriedly Lina but wasn't quite ready. "State your unreadness," said Bud. "Well, I want a few new things and she wants to get some new things. So we thought wed walt a bit." "There's many a man right now shaving to get a new bedroom suit so his can set up housekeeping, and he can get up and down third down and here you are with eight rooms furnished and not ready. If you crave being set in manners, you can just ignore his arrangements quickly. Excited Butts Butts did not want the kind of action Bud was willing to give, and seeing that theer was no way of compromise offered, he could not ignore his arrangements quickly. Bud listened and then said, "All right, Lina can take the eight thirty for home and she can come back later." And further more, slater, snap into it, for I have an engagement with my girl, I call on her and I only want to make sure I won't waste any of my fleeing moments." "It's a shame to make this poor girl go all that way at night alone," said Butts. "One more night here! I don't it all going," she said. Butts didn't go to be here more about ten more minutes," said Bud. So convincing was his tone that Butts stopped tasting and Lina went to the J. D. followed and said, "Of course I can't fight your brother, so we'll have to give in for a while. Write to me, honey." Lima promised through her tears and Bud carried her away. But (trifely and truly) absence made the heart grow fonder and letters passed between them frequently. Then one Sunday Lina sneaked away from home and came to see her charmer and in a great burst of affection J. D. said, "We'll get married," and heling them to a local Gretna Green, they were forthwith spliced. Their married life was stormy. Having won his point and his girl Butts aspired to continue his amorous conquests among the sisters of his order. Lina's jealous rage deterred him and finally he was heard to remark one day after an admiring brother had given him two sips of his private stock that marred life wasn't all it was cracked up to. Soon afterward J. D. came home to find Lina in bed. In alarm he inquired what was wrong. She said, "I don't know. I just feel so giddy I can't stand up." J. D. really liked his girl wife so he pre Lina was better next day and when J. D. came home she was stepping around the kitchen on tiptoe with him, and with him however, until after supper when she crept into his lap and whispered into his ear. Then began the rejuvenation of J. D. by taking care of his work to and while helping her he would look with ply on her worn, haggard face. Having no other friends she talked to him of her plans and soon J. D. was matching her learning a great deal about sewing. Sometimes when he was up stairs alone he would open the drawer and look at the small garment would look at it and shake his head. No longer did the ladies of the lodge interest him. He would go through the drawer and look at the lodge and return home at once bearing some delicacy for Lina. But it was after the baby's birth that J. D.'s transformation was over. Burt was as proud as a peacock. He began to plan express wagons, tricycles, and a goat when the boy was three months old. He moved to the bright whimmer of his baby's siblings. The crowning point was reached however, when he said to Lima (the baby was a year old), "I believe I take on the job." He takes on somebody. Somebody's got to help that boy with long division when he gets into the fourth grade.

Institutions for healing, for religion and soul culture; all these and love. The Church of Jesus Christ also To bring about the union of his d which alone can issue as our Lord, s required, that we increase and about toward all men. Love will make all loyal and loving hearted vital to the sage. This sermon was supplied by the Mt. Olvet Christian Church, B TEXT: "The Lord make you to increase and abound in love towards another, and towards all men."—Isei Thes. 3: 12. This is a time of increase and abundance, especially in our own country. In Europe, the war checked this trend and hurried the peoples back to poverty. America was for a while similarly, though much lesser indeed. All of this, however, represents more knowledge, skill, health power, more quantity and more generously and democratically distributed; such is the trend of age. Let it not be supposed that love has failed to increase along with increase in knowledge and the rest. Men's love for man has increased enormously. It is still true that man's inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn, but it is also true that man's sympathy compassions and affection for man has wrought and now works marvelously, and the indulgence, relief the indulgence, educate the ignorant and seek and save the lost. Love's record of long established evils endangered entrenched wrongs, righted unselfish sacrificial benevolence, building up waste places and wasted lives all over the world, is one of which we need not be ashamed. Liberty, democracy educational enterprises are open to rich and poor alike. Institutions for healing, for social service of every sort, for evangelism and soul culture; all these are both monuments and workshops of love. The Church of Jesus Christ alone maintains an unChristian division. To bring about the union of his disciples for which Jesus prayed and which alone can be Lord so sent in a converted world, one thing is required: we increase and abound in love one toward another and toward all men. Love will make all Christians one and that without disdainly to anything vital to the gospel of God. This sermon was supplied by the Rev. Edward S. Young, pastor of the Mr. Olive, Christian Church, Baltimore. QUESTIONS AND BIBLE ANSWERS If Parents will encourage chil- dren to look up and memorize the Bible Answers it will prove &quot;pictorial heritage to them in after years.&quot; SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Sunday, February 14th: JESUS, THE GOOD SHEEPHERD: John 10: 1-30 the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But the sheepfold is of a rogue, the sheepfold of a rogue. To him the porter openeth, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. His own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow the sheepfold, or for they not the voice of stringers. I am the good shepherd, and know my shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. But he that is a hireling, and the sheepfold are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveeth the sheep, and fleeeth; and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. He is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. As the Pastor knoweth me, even so know I my sheep, and I lay down my life for the sheep. Golden Text: I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd is down his life I am shepherd: John 10: 11.

A. workers of our group met at Draud Hill Avenue Branch building Friday, February 4 at 1 p.m. The committee is composed of S. S. Booker, Executive Secretary of the local "Y", R. P. Hamlin of the National staff, Dr. C. H. Tobias, head of the colored work in the U. S., and C. C. Johnson, executive secretary of the Washington "Y" The Summer School will meet at the Manual Training and Industrial School for youth at Bordentown, N. J., July 6-21, 1926. Mr. S. Booker was selected director of the school for the third consecutive year. The school is one of the standard schools for "Y" workers and its past history shows that every worker in the movement today has gotten most of his Y. M. C. A. training at this summer school. A strong faculty was selected and more than 25 outstanding men were listed as lecturers for this year. The second laymen's conference will be held at Bordentown on July 6, 1926, just one day before the opening of the Summer school. This conference of laymen is a new movement and it met with great success last year. Dr. J. E. Morland is head of this conference for this year and the management looks forward to seeing 150 men, from committees, directors, and members of the various associations of the Eastern region. The Summer School association contemplates holding a model Boys' camp under the personal direction of the boys' work department. It will prove a revelation. It will be an opportunity to work the workers with boys by actual experience. Dr. Brigg To Speak: "Great Characters who Were Born in the Month of February" will be the subject of Dr. George P.

Mrs. Lewis admitted she stopped figuring early when her figures got too high because the one cent mark, but she feels that she has a working idea of what is happening on her meter did when she lights the gas. She also knows that if you carry 100 mugs and the lid she will have to gas the man eight cents and a little more. Mrs. Lewis also knows that after she has used it, it might feel the 65 cents it costs her only 65 cents per thousand and she can afford to use gas for purposes she could not the first month. Many Appliances In the case of electric power and electric power many appliances have come into use which not only add to the convenience, but the economy of the house keeping. Electric ironing has come to be common in many cities where houses are not in use. It is not only cheaper than any other fuel for this purpose but more convenient and comfortable. The 500 watt electric iron costs about four hours to burn. Small meters for sewing machines costs about five cents per hour as do electricians. Slightly increased power costs from eight to 15 cents per hour, but the saving here is apparent when it is realized that a fairly good sized wash can be roughdried in less than two hours. Another appliance that is coming to the market is the fireless cooker. There are many edible, including many of the vegetables and meats which will cook properly if kept at a temperature of 150 degrees Celsius. The principle upon which the fireless coker works is to use heat until this point is reached and hold it in a receptacle without further use of fire. By making a vacuum between the outer and inner lining of the appliance or using some medium which will not conduct heat. If for instance such a receptacle contains a vegetable with a thick skin, point the use of 10 minutes of gas, it can be kept going an hour without further cost. Economics Suggested The gas company suggests the following rules to reduce the costs of gas to consumers and insure strictness. Don't use the giant burner on your range when a smaller burner will do. Don't light burners on your range until you have food all ready to go on the fire. Don't allow a burner to remain lighted without being in use. Don't purchase from strangers so- called gas saving devices without finding your company whether they are of value. Don't use the gas oven to heat the kitchen. Don't use the gas oven to heat the kitchen. EDWARD A Brooks Funeral Director Will give to all the very best Carriages and Limousine 1463 North Carey Phone, MAdison 5361 nd Industry AMC Labor and Business William N. Jones With 12,000 vacant homes reported in Baltimore and its suburbs, reulters here live in houses that have a consequent improvement in housing conditions and standards of living. The "for rent" and "for sale" markets are in any part of the city, and the recent rapid acquisition of homes in the Northwest section is attributed to the housing expansion throughout the city. See Prices Fall A noticeable aspect of the housing situation is the gradual fall in prices. There is no doubt but that the housing market has been by the war has long since reached its peak and is now falling to normal levels. No one expects however that the housing levels, for housing, like the general cost of living, is governed by the relative value of money and the rise in the standards of living, and always be above the pre-level. Some idea of the deflation may be judged by a recent sale of a house in the last week of March, a sale week for $2,300, just one year ago the owner wanted $3,500. Auction sales during the last few weeks show an unmistakable downward trend in the prices of houses. Still High. One of the discouraging factors, however, as it affects the laboring class as home buyers, is the excessive costs of financheries homes. Despite the increase in the prices, 1st, 2nd and even 3rd mortgages on the market, as shown by numerous advertisements and investigations in money loaning circles, and despite the case with the cost of financing is still high. Some idea of financing home buying may be judged from a recent CHICAGO, Feb. 11 — James 16, Newsome, age 76, the oldest Pullman porter in the country, is dead after a collision that killed more than 6,000,000 miles on Pullman cars since he entered the company's service on September 10, 1870, and no complaint was ever filed against him, according to Pullman officials. "My mother taught me never to quarrel with a fool, but to humon him. Newsome often said. He called me "That's what I do. I study my man and I know him," he frequently declared.

This rists the oven, keep a full flame under container when water has reached the boiling point. Turn down the flame or set utensils over small simmer pot. Don't turn off each part way at meter. This does not save gas. It lessens the pressure and interferes with the cook. Don't expect to use gas efficiently in an old worn out oven once one is used. Whenever possible, use the smaller size burners instead of the larger ones. Remember gas is no hotter ten minutes after the burners is lightened than it is the instant the burner is lightened. Turn out the gas and relight it in again event there is an interval when it is not needed. Matches are cheaper than gas. Keep burners of gas range clean by washing them in boiling water and then once a month and have them dry before using. This will save gas. Business Talk By C. E. Armstrong Business Principles More and more each year students of our race group are being graduated by the business school. We have learned through this discrete curriculum a disfranchisement that a group, community, or race can only hope to achieve a place among other leading races through their ability to trade. We have learned through disfranchisement that a prominent place through its commercial activities. Modern business is a science just as is medicine or dentistry and it can be conducted if it must be conducted along scientific lines. It is a very popular idea among people of our own race to have a preacher to lead a healthy community organization formed. An individual might have been successful in any of these professions and still have made a poor business because he was not a member of the industry. The condition in business and the methods used are constantly changing. The method in use one year might be different than the one installed at the expense of millions are scrapped and sold for junk for improved models. All this cost must be met by business and has to be distributed by the enterprise. So keen is competition that the price and quality of the product offered, or the service offered, by other companies. If the price is too high, the firm will find itself in financial difficulties. To antagonize and be able to successfully solve these issues, training. To put a man in the head of such an enterprise who has been trained in the medical science, and expect it to succeed, training. To the many failures, of enterprises within our group, coupled with the urgent need of commerce by our race group has been responsible for many of the failures of business as a life work. There have been several lines of endeavors which our people have seemed particularly adapted to, such as poolrooming, business as a life work. These are starts in the right direction but are too small in scope to afford much employment for our race, and until we get into larger scale businesses, we will have a positive hold of business of other races, we cannot hope to gain recognition. We must be able to successfully compete in building merchandising, manufacturing. Mrs. Jas. H. Dennis James H. Dennis THE OLD RELIABLE CURT RATE UNDERTAKER Edward Kelson, Mgr.

A building loan first mortgage of $2,000, a second mortgage of $1,500, and a third mortgage of $1,500 was arranged by the financing parties in addition to $250 cash paid in by the purchaser. An analysis of the settlement sheet showed that about $1,000 had been charged in "bonuses" and that the $300 had gone for legitimate expenses connected with the loan. The purchaser will therefore begin paying interest on $5,000 for a $4,000 purchase. It may be estimated that should he be successful and keep up his weekly payments of $15 it will require 15 years to consummate the deal and during this time he will have paid $11,700. This of course will include interest, ground rent, taxes, etc., but the one item of interest and refinancing charges in the form of bonuses as the loans terminate, will cost this purchaser well above $5,000 in addition to the $4,000 paid for the place. Despite the fact that 6 per cent is the legal interest in Maryland, the average financing prices on homes is found to be about 11 per cent. The excessive cost in home financing here can easily be traced to middlemen. The banks and big financing corporations lend money on approved first mortgages at 6 per cent, and on second mortgages at "houses" the price soars. Realty men, who get their profits from a set percentage on sales, must finance their deals and under present circumstances are not responsible. It is pointed out that while our group hius thousands deposited in local banks, the bulk of which brings three and four per cent interest, they must pay 11 per cent when they use these价 money in the buying. $20,000,000 IN NEW BUILDINGS THIS YEAR Many Constructions Expected to Receive Big Unemployment Here With $20,000,000 in new building projects reported planned this year by builders and architects, the big unemployment report required, according to George B.

When You Buy From OUR ADVERTISERS Say You Saw Their "Ad" in the AFRO GOOD MORNING JUDGE The Atro Court Reporter Never The Twain Shall Meet "East is east, and west is west, and never the twain shall meet," said the poet Kipling. But also the poet Amos Larry, 234 S. Sharp street. A domestic rift brought Mr. and Mrs. Larry before His honor in the Western police station Wednesday after a rattler stormy night before. "Your honor," exploded Mrs. Larry. "my husband is so tight that he put me out to sleep and he got out and got job and then almost made me lose it." "Where do you, live now?" asked the Magistrate, with that prophetic which generally means nobody any good. "In south Baltimore," answered the trembling Mr. Larry. "And your wife lives in west Baltimore." "Yes," again admitted Larry. "Well, if you ever cross the line between these two sections and your wife even thinks you are going to get hurt, you to the case. Case dismissed." Misses Francis Kelly, 1399 N. Fremont avenue and Ethel Smith, 544 Robert street, tried to divide up the same she had gone for Wednesday night and as a result they both faced His Honor in the Northwestern station Thursday morning. "Judge," said Miss Kelly, "that girl gets there followed me home from the bull the other night and cut me as I was going into my door." "Well, why did she do it?" asked the girl. "I deshare, I don't know, your Honor; but it seems like every time we meet at a public dance she always wants to fight me." "What she says true?" inquired the Magistrate, turning to Miss Smith. "Well, it's all true but a few things. First, I don't want to fight her; second, it was not my place; third, it must be my place, who got cut. All the rest of what she says is true." "I see," said the Magistrate, "you both are to blame. Case dismissed." A Good Idea, But It would have been a wonderful idea if it had worked. But Mrs. Lena Harris, 941 Druld Hill avenue, will have to resort to some other way to bounce George Harris her husband. "The first intimation that came to Harris that he was scheduled to be a homeless man for a while at least, he was arrested by the police, directed by Mrs. Harris, arrested him and curried him to the Northwestern police station. "But officer," protested the surprised husband, "I have not done anything to you." "Explain all of that to His Honor tomorrow," said the officer as he locked him in. At the Sunday morning session of the House and told the Magistrate that her husband came home and chased her out of the house with a knife and lamp.

And All Night Dances Page Twenty Woman Has Hu Then Hustles Tells Judge Mate Wou Chair On No sooner had Mrs. Sophia Worthington, 426 N. Elkhorn Street, had her husband convicted for choking and beating her over the head with a chair, than she began to exhaust every effort to get money to pay his fine. Joseph Worthington, the husband, was arrested by Northwestern District authorities Tuesday morning when his wife complained that he had beat her unmorally when she returned without having landed a job the previous night. According to Mrs. Worthington, the husband had quit his job and informed her that in the future she was to be the breadwinner, as he was tired of working for her. When, after several hours hunting she returned still without a position, she head the head of the chair, she declared. Had Two Husbands Worthington, asserted that he had beat his wife when she threatened to return to her other husband in Wilson, North Carolina. She left her first husband, Chester Holman, and married Worthington in Richmond, Va., after he returned to Worthington. They later came to Baltimore and have been here a year. She did not get a divorce from Holman, it was said, and wanted to return to her former husband because he made more money and owned property. Worthington said that he was taken away when he intercepted a letter from Holman. He was fired $25 and costs. Having but a small portion of his fine, Worthington was looked up while Mrs. Worthington looked up friends in an effort to collect the balance of his fine. GETS FORTY YEARS FOR DOUBLE RAPE Richard White Draws Heavy Sentence For Criminal Assaulting Two Women MAN LURED WOMAN TO `LONELY SPOT` After Promising To Get Found guilty of having criminally assaulted two women after taking them to West Port upon pretext of getting them jobs. Richard White, 36, 248 Durham street, was sentenced to a total of 40 years in the Maryland penitentiary Monday. The accused man had nothing to say throughout the whole trial which noted for an hour. He was arraigned on three charges and sentenced to fifteen years in two cases and ten years in one, making a total of forty years. The terms are to run concurrently. White was arrested by Southern District police after a chase that covered several blocks. The suspect was made upon the conviction of Mrs. Amanda Hebron, 1132 Franklin street, who injured a patrolman a few months after she had made Mrs. Hebron declared that she had gone to an employment agency Wednesday to obtain work. She was about to leave when she was approached by White who stated that the people for whom he had sent him to find a woman to work for them. They went to White and White stated that he would take a short cut to the house through Wonderland Park. When they were a short distance from the roadway he attacked her and after criminally assaulting her made his escape. Finding her way to the street, Mrs. Hebron notified the police who arrested White after chasing him in an automobile, when he was placed under arrest. Was Second Attack The similarity of the attack to another reported by Mrs. Belar Many Reasons Why Girl Welfare Officials Here By All, Nigh What becomes of the rundreds of girls reported missing yearly in Baltimore? This question is as baffling to the police department as it is to the citizens who read the "missing from home" column in the APRO-AMER-ICAN each week, according to Captain McGovern of the Missing Persons Bureau. Baffling because there are no two cases alike. If the girl is over fourteen and approaching womanhood the first steps taken are to look for the man with whom she was seen best. A disappearance case is considered active until every clue is exhausted by the police department. The parent or guardian gives the police all facts concerning relatives or friends in this and other cities when the girl would be taken. With the aid of police in these cities such cases are traced until they prove groundless or else are successful in locating the girl. This done, she is held for a nominal time for the arrival of the parent-by the police of that city. Once located, the work of the police is completed. No appropriation is made for returning runaways by the police. Be done the expence of the parental last after a reasonable length of time it is taken for granted that they are not wanted and are dismissed. All Night Dances All night dances have been given by several girls as the reason why they left home, declared Probation Officer George Ralph, when asked to give a reason for the alarming number of girls being missing lately.

C. (AFRO Bureau)—Mrs. Mary E. Craft Cottrell of 1850 Third street, northwest, has filed a petition in the circuit division of the Sup- reme Court of the District of Columbia for a writ of mundan- mus to compel the Board of Education, Supt. Frank W. Bail- ton and Assistant Sup., C. Wilkinson, in the Armstrong Technicolor High School and, to appoint her to one of the vacac- ies. This is the second soft involving these two positions that has been filled against the Board of Education. The other was brought by Miss Mabel Jackson of 1814 Ninth street, northwest. The positions which Miss Jackson and Mrs. Cottrell seek to have done are being filled by Miss Susie V. Jennings, of 933 Westminster street, northwest, and Miss Elizabeth D. Burrell, of 1711 Eleventh street, northwest. They teach domestic art. Miss Jennings teaches tailoring and Miss Burrell beaches dressmaking. Mrs. Craft has been a teacher in the public schools of the District of Columbia. She is a teacher statement member that she is engendering preference over other eligibles for appointment as a teacher of domestic art. She is on maternity leave. Miss Jackson and Mrs. Cottrell took the examination for teachers of domestic art in the senior high schools in December, 1923, and were notified in February, 1924, that they had numbered examination and had numbered one and two respectively, on the eligible list. The Board of Education admits that neither Miss Jennings nor Miss Burrell possesses a college degree or a graduation certificate from an accredited normal school and that neither has passed a position in an amateur or professional position of teacher-domestic art in the senior high schools. The subjects of tailoring and dressmaking, however, are trade vocational subjects, the board contends, and while Miss Jennings and Miss Burrell are engaged in teaching these subjects, in the strong Technical High School, they high school teachers or so classified.

After perpetrating the crime White robbed Mrs. Henderson of what money she had at the time. White is a native of Delaware and has been a resident of Baltimore for seven years and with his wife at the Durham street address. She did not appear in court. In imposing sentence, Judge Robert F. Stanton declared that because he had committed the crime against women of his own race did not make it any less persecuted of the courts. Colored women were due to the same consideration as whites, he added. Given Girls Leave Home Name Careless Parents. And nt Dances Given Girls Leave Home name Careless Parents. And t Dances liquor and immoral dances combine and another person is reported missing. To girls who have been brought up in large families where they have had to sacrifice many things in order to care for smaller children, even a bad carrier wage means a life of luxury. In several cases where her small earrings become the parents object to her associating contribution. It is not surprising after a short while when she is reported missing. Tropical Cases In cases like the above, when girls of tender years are located living with a man they are both placed under arrest and held for the girl's parents. Captain Mooney of Northeastern, stated. The girl is turned over to the court in an office at home or has her committed to an institution on charges of being incriminal. If the parent wishes to prosecute the man, he is sentenced on statutory charges. If no objection is raised the parties are permitted to marry. Among the typical cases cited was the case where an old girl was discovered from home. She was discovered several weeks later in a home where her board was being paid by a married man who visited her at intervals. Another was the discovery made by police after carefully watching a house for three days to enter. They raided the place to find two young girls held virtual prisoners by a woman. A girl, long before given up, as a hopeless case, made her way to the Northwestern one night and asked whom she had run away from home. He had beaten her unmercifully because she, haggard and worn, had refused to continue to arrange illicit meetings with strange .men. After he, had been arrested and arrested, pandering she refused to prosecute.

In the Dorsey number one from whom Dorsey had not obtained a divorce notified the police and he was placed under arrest.

BILL Local N. A. A. C. P. Head Urges Resolution At Baptist Meeting Monday BODY TO WAY-BILL Work P. Head Ur- LAW WOULD NOT HALT . THE INTERMIXING Would Only Legalize Concubinage And Bastardy Ministers Are Told In a spirited speech outlining the evils of the Caraway bill prohibiting marriages between the races, Atty. Linnwood Koger, president of the local N. A. A. C. P., urged the Baptist ministers to pass a resolution that the governor forward it to Maryland senators, Monday. The enactment of such a law, said Mr. Koger, does not stop intermixure but sets the stamp of legal approval upon concubinage, bastardy and degradation of colored women and deprives them of the protection of marriage. The bill, known as Senate Bill 2160, was introduced in the United States' Senate by Senator Caraway of Arkansas January 5th. It prohibits "the intermarriage of the Negro and the Caucasian, in the District of Columbia." It further provides that it shall be unlawful for a married person to be married inside in the District; that persons so married and now resident in the District be prohibited from returning for the purpose of reestablishing residence, should they remove from the district; that any person performing a marriage ceremony between a person of Negro blood and a white person shall be guilty of a felony, and that the person performing the act of the net shall be a fine of not more than $1,000 and imprisonment for a period of not less than one year nor more than five years. Mr. Koger, who represents the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, urged also that the pastors secure as many prominent white letters as possible to send to the Senators similar letters urging them to vigorously oppose the bill. The ministers deferred action on the bill until the next meeting. According to Lawyer Koger, the issue is to be taken before lodges, fraternal and political organizations of the city for action.

Lafayette Saturday, February 13 Race Commission funds Lacking Lack of funds is preventing the Maryland Inter-Racial Commission from beginning its work, the Commission was told by Secretary E. J. Calloway, Friday. Sessions of the Commission were held in the office of Federal Judge John C. Rose, third floor of the post office building. Dr. Will Alexander, of Atlanta, Ga., head of the Southern Inter-Racial Commission who was to have addressed the meeting; was not present. Dr. John Spencer, president of the Commission, read a telegram staring at Negroes affected by illness in his family and helped to reach Baltimore by next Friday. Dr. Spencer read excerpts from a recent speech of Dr. Alexander in which the latter said. "White men that white men believe in, are as a rule the white men that Negroes believe in. Negroes those that white men believe in are the Negroes that intelligent Negroes believe in. "There are two fundamentals that create better race relations, conference and cooperation." "Dr. Moton says that Negroes tell white men what they think is safe for white men to know good that Negroes tell Negroes what they think Negroes have sense enough to understand." - "They cannot get along that way. The race, question needs daylight. The poor and ignorant everywhere have a hard time in the courts. Negroes in the South, as a class, are very poor and ignorant." Finance Plans of the Commission to employ an executive secretary, open an office, hire a clerk and begin the study of such subjects as health, housing, education, defectives and criminal justice were held in abeyance. Harry E. Parkhurst, white, expressed that the Commission must not enter into any large conduct unless the money been fit to make an appropriation, he said, and it ought to go along on what its members are willing to give individually. Secretary Calloway said Colored people would finance the Commission if the white members did not discouraged. He recommended a public campaign for $7,000. Opposing the campaign idea, Mr. Parkhurst declared that the use of the 3rd Amendment of the Constitution were present and that some of them hadn't been to a single meeting so far. White Members Not Sold The idea of an Inter-Racial Commission, he said had not been sold to the white members and it was useless to go into a campaign unless every member was willing to work with the Commission held over until another meeting. The Rev George F. Brang made the suggestion that the Commission should go before the legislature at its next session and ask for fundraising groups in every county of the state. All of the colored members of the Commission were present except Manny St. Clair, of Cambridge. White members of the Commission not present were Albert G. Lowes, of Chicago, and John Schwartz, Senator George E. Peverly. Mechanicsville: Judge Charles W. Heusler, Charles M. Cohn and Alice B. Van Dyne.
