Other View The other camp takes the view that the application of the university rules to students living in the city extends only to the confines of the campus and that the school authorities have nothing to do with their conduct off the campus after school hours.

Since its introduction the bill has been made a priority; it would trouble for years to come if it is passed. The Ronoke World News said editorially Monday: Since truth in the state and prejudice without the state are almost certain to come about the two such laws, it will be a fortunate thing for Virginia if these two bills can be lost to the legislature.

That misuse of the law is not our concern. We do not care a rap for that. We do not want to make conditions in Ogden Hall agreeable to White persons. We do not want to separate the whites from the owners and attend the shows in Ogden Hall. If white persons are willing to go there and skin with colored perforations, they are not right with The Daily Press. It is their own affair. What the Daily Press protests against is that the owners are in RACES IN DEFLANCE OF THE ESTABLISHED CUSTOMS OF THIS COMMUNITY. And especially do we protest because that is a part of the settled policy of Hampton Institute.

CAN'T ELECTROCUTE OR HANG SLAYER JACKSONVILLE, FLA. (ANP) —Ed Washington, convicted of murder in 1922 and sentenced to hung is still in the Daval County jail with a sentence of five years, free from the death penalty. Since Washington was sentenced four years ago, the state passed a law abolishing hanging as a means of substituting the electric chair. Every time the state has attempted to carry out the sentence, Washington has executed on the grounds that he couldn't be electrocuted, as his sentence was to hang. Governor Marts signed a death warrant ordering Washington to be hanged on a special gallows. His attorney this time filed a libecus corpus desiring it to be hanged, which has substituted electrocution. Public interest centers in the case because Aubrey Nichols, white in the Orange County jail, handed. If Washington loses his case, 'ichols' lawyers will also give up their fight. 14TH WARD LEADERS APPROVE APPOINTM'NT Action: Of Precedent Executives Endorsed At Ward Meeting Recent action of the prescient executives of the 14th Ward, Republican club in endorsing Walter S.

JONES REFUSES TO RESIGN FOR VETS' BUREAU Tuskegee Hospital Engineer Notifies Geheral Hines He SUSPENDED OCT 8 ON CHISUM CHARGES Latter Brot To Tuskegee From Chicago Especially To Investigatae WASHINGTON, D. C. W. L. Jones, chief engineer at the United States Hospital for disabled Negro veterans at Tuskegee, Ala., has refused to comply with the demand of the Veterans Bureau that he tender his resignation effective as of October 12, 1925, the date of his suspension from duty on charges filed by Melvin Chisum, of Chicago, Ill. Mr. Chisum, it was said, was brought to Tuskegee especially to make an investigation for hospital Jones has advised General Frank T. Hines, director of the Veterans Bureau, in response to request that he submit his resignation. The first is that any settlement of the controversy with regard to him should apply to any condition other than his full restoration to duty would be an unwarranted punishment for his financial failures, that should he submit his resignation as requested it would preclude him from pay, which he claims is due him up to the final settlement. Suspended October 8 Mr. Jones was suspended from duty as chief engineer at the Tuskegee Hospital on October 19, 1928. He was transferred to the hospital administration; that he conspired to bring about the removal of Major J. H. Ward, the medical officer in charge of the hospital, to the hospital administration; that he conspired to bring about the removal of Major J. H. Ward, the medical officer in charge of the hospital, to the hospital administration; that he planned to secure damaging evidence against officers by misrepresentation. These charges were denied by Mr. Jones. An investigation in heart failure there had been, but the Veterans Bureau took no action until Mr. Jones inquired as to the status of his case. He was then informed that he had conducted and other activities at the Tuskegee hospital, he had brought about a condition which made it inadvisable for him to be admitted to the service of the Veterans Bureau. Wetex General Hines Under date of February 26, last, he appealed to General Frank T. Hines to prevent what I cannot comprehend, to prevent what I cannot comprehend, to be an outrageous persecution, a gross miscarriage ge of justice, and penalization for faithfully and honestly serving the Government; the management of the hospital was turned over to Major Ward as commanding officer, Walter S. Sheriff as chief clerk, Preston H. Korygay as property custodian and designated administrator of his appointee to General Hines, it soon became apparent that "their sudden succession to power had developed them into self-centered, arrogant, discourteous, unreasonable, extremely automatic administrative Resigned in April As a result of the conditions which existed, Mr. Jones says, on April 23, 1925, he tendered the conditions, 1925, as his reason "unsatisfactory working conditions." The Veterans Bureau wired Dr. Ward directing him to have that Mr. Jones was investigated could be made. Dr. Charles M. Griffith, white, was sent from the Veterans' Bureau here to make this investigtion. Mr. Jones charged him with the investigation by Dr. Ward and the other administrative officers. In his letter to General Hines, he declared that he made was investigated by him and found to be absolutely true." Disclosures Mr. Jones lays the opposition to his retention at the hospital as a result of his disclosures regarding conditions there. He charges in his letter to General Hines that inassistance were unable to bring about his removal through charges of inefficiency or neglect of duty, they appealed to Major R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, and his secretary, A. L. Hoisey, and 'out of the way' plan that formed the basis of the charge upon which I am now being threatened with removal.' Expediency In concluding his appeal to General Hines, Mr. Jones declared that he had been guilty of no act warranting his removal and that if distress be being demanded as a matter of expedition because he and Dr. Ward could not work together and it would be easier to find someone to fill his place than Dr. Ward's, such an adjustment would not bear the sanction of the law of justice and meet the demands of fair play. THE AFRO 7 Cents In Washington, D. C. PAY NO MORE "Pull" Helps In Appointment Of Freedmen Hospital Internes Call VErnon 6016 WASHINGTON—Disagreeing with Dr. W. A. Warfield's statement that political influence or pull does not help in securing appointment at Free Press, Marshall, M. D., '24, a former interne who lives at 2710 P street, N.

One sentence reads, the hospital authorities will not take another chance by appointing these men even though they stand No. 1 in the examination." In the very next sentence comes the surprising statement "Appointments with the hospital or merit alone. Such logic, reasoning or sense of fair-play I cannot fathom. If a man stands No. 1 in the examination, he should be appointed with or without pull. That's a appointment by merit.

I venture to say that many others are forced as an order of mind to attend only because of the many caucuses and meetings following the competitive (7) examinations. Why have them? When men are required to be bored, all that is needed is a general grading of examinations, and the appointment of those with the highest averages. We have our students. I should like to give this brotherly advice. Do your own thinking. If any one of you believe that political pull 'from the middle' is the reason hinder your appointment. place yourself under surveillance of Dr. Whitby or Dr. Karpman at once.

The Rev. W. H. Jernagin of Baltimore, secretary, Jackson of Baltimore, secretary. PYTHIANS ASK D.C. COURT FOR RECEIVERSHIP WASHINGTON, D. C.—A suit for an accounting a receivership and substitution of trustees was filed last Thursday on behalf of the Knights of Pythias of the District of Columbia through Attorney J. Wilmer Latimer and George C. Gertman against Lawrence E. Murray, of 2105 Twelfth street, northwest. The johnsie in the suit are Howard W. Bandy, grand chancellor 649 Florida avenue, northwest; Melvin J. key, grand prelate, 1715 New Jersey avenue, northwest; Smith, grand master records and archives, N. street; southwest; William W. Cohan, grand master of exchequer, 315 U. street, northwest; and Stewart E. Miner, grand master at arms, 1309 Riggs street, northwest. $41,000 Property The suit involves the property at the corner of Twelfth and U streets, northwest, which is known as the Pythian Temple. The grand judge claims that the property, which the plaintiffs say, was purchased by it on January 8, 1917, for approximately $41,000, from John W. Lewis and William A. Bowie, trustees, under a deed of trust from Ethel. In the course of the purchase it is alleged, this property was conveyed to John S. Johnson, J. Clay Smith and Lawrence R. Murray as trustees. Johnson died August 3, 1925, leaving Mr. Smith and Mr. Murray as co-trustees vested with the legal Deeds of Trust Three deeds of trust were, executed to secure the balance of the purchase money for this property, to secure the interest of the third deed of trust has been fully paid. Approximately $2,000 has been paid on the principal and interest on the first trust, which is $5,000, and $1,500 has been paid on account of the principal and interest on the second trust, which is for $5,000. The balance of the principal is long past. Under the terms of the trust, it became the duty of the trustees to mortgage this property further by deed of trust at the request and direct to the grand lodge, the cuffs say. Borrowed $7,500 The grand lodge decided to borrow recently for the purpose of paying off the overdue balance of the debt secured by the second deed of trust that Mr. Murray had been arranged Mr. Murray peremptorily refused to comply with the directions of the grand lodge, although the securing of the loan had been authorized by a resolution adopted by the grand lodge at special meeting January 16, 1826. Mr. Murray advised Grand Chancellor Bundy that "by reason of instructions from the Chancellor, Sir S. W. Green, I beg leave to advise that I am unable to comply with the requests set forth in the aforementioned resolutions." Another resolution passed at the special grand lodge meeting, Grand Chancellor Bundy, it is claimed, demanded the resignation of Mr. Murray as a co- tree for his refusal to die dead. Mr. Murray has not yetendered his resignation. Collects Rents Since the death of Mr. Johnson, it is alleged, Mr. Murray has been managing the Pythian Temple and collecting rots. For this service he receives a salary of $100 a month. Mr. Murray has periodically submited to the grand judge a statement of his views on the damages the phallus says, but although he has been requested to submit proper vouchers for his disbursements and his books and vouchers for an audition, he also requests the phallus claims that there is in his possession a considerable sum of money realized from this property which he declines to turn over. At its special meeting January 16, 1926, the grand lodge directed Mr. Murray to pay over to the grand master of exchequer the full balance remaining in his hands to the grand lodge, to handle and check books and vouchers, relating to his receipts and disbursements for an audit by the finance committee. Mr. Murray, it is said, has refused to do so. The court to remove Mr. Murray as a trustee and substitute someone in his place and also in the place of Mr. Johnson. They also ask that he be required to fully account for all money reimbursed to him, property and to pay over to the grand lodge the balance found to be due after a full and complete accounting. The appointment of a receiver to take charge of, manage and control the U streets, northwest, pending the suit, is also asked. Engineer Is Robbery Hero WASHINGTON, D. C.—C. H.

ROGERS RICHMOND, VA.—In their frantic endeavor to maintain and exploit an aristocracy based on complexion and to overcome the lure of Virginia, I have joined the Virginia lans have in Richmond a fireproof building, known as the Bureau of Vital Statistics in which is being kept a record of every one accorded with the law. I had been planning to go into this building to do a little "digging" when to my intense good fortune John Powell John Powell I found that John Powell, founder of the Anglo-Saxon Clubs, who is waging a stern and bitter fight with the sheep, had saved me the trouble, and was publishing the facts in a series of articles in the Richmond Times-Mail, much hated by those whites who are not so anxious to have their ancestry looked into, also appears to have been informed by two professors, one from College, Baltimore, who have been conducting investigations under the auspices of the Carnegie Institute of Technology, a book called "Mongrel Virginians." 64 Va. Families Colored It is safe to say that no Negro sociologist could have had such findings published in a white newspaper, and I can account for the publication. I can also account for the ground that agitation for "race integrity" has brought a circulation to the papers equalled only one in the paper that carried the head: 46 ARISTOCRATIC V. FA. LIES COLORED, sold like hot cakes. Not less than twenty thousand of these papers have been found to be colored. Persons who have never been south can have no idea what a tremendous social and economic loss it would mean to these Negroes. For instance, at the time of writing Negroes in Norfolk are barred from an art exhibit in which Tanner's pictures are being shown. A special task is to be set aside for them, it is said.

The most important battle had been political. The more remote, but graver threat was forgotten or ignored. In re-establishing and confirming white supremacy, the threat of and neglected racial integrity. "The necessity for rebuilding prosperity from devastation absorbed attention. Slavery which had further, and more severely, eroded race, had effectively protected the whites from blood mixture. Under the new order the protection no longer was possible. No longer the property of masters, could attain positions of relative independence, and remove freely to localities where their racial antecedents were unknown. The anti-miscegenation laws were ineffective loudly proclaiming the axiom that one drop of Negro blood makes the Negro, the race of the United States, as an individual possessing one-fourth or more African blood, latter as an individual with one-eighth or more African blood, and still later with one-sixtieth or more African blood. Many mix-breeds actually went into court, had themselves declared legally white, and married white persons. Large numbers of descendants have resulted from such unions. Instance Of Race Mixing "Case No. 1—Accomac o.county. (On file in the State Records). Accomac County married an immigrant from one of the Southern States, whose antecedents were unknown to her. couples having Northampton counties were instituted which discovered that his birthrecord in his native State showed him to be a Negro. He have written to the Virginia Bureau of Vital Statistics asking for evidence to prove that they are white. Northampton County to the other from the Northern State. This case is a terrifying example with which mixed blood can become white. Many similar instances are reported by the clerks of various county courts. **Cace Two** "Case No. 2—Essex County (Birth record in county files).

To Repudiate United States An Administration Has No In- Debt of $26,000 to the United At Said This Week In a Special RO-AMERICAN. The ARO-AMERICAN of Dec 12, 1925 in a dispatch from its Washington correspondent, said: "Among the nations owing the United States is listed Liberia. It owes a debt of twenty-five thousand colonies not including interest which those at present in control have undertaken to repudiate. This is the smallest debt still pending. Uberan Secretary, Edwin Ear- ley, brought communicated with the U.S. as follows: "As the Government of Liberia has never intimated nor openly declared an intention to claim owing by the Republic and as there is no record of such attempted repudiation in possession of your Government, the undertaking to refund this amount when certain financial arrangements are effected which fact is within the knowledge of your Government, the President of the United States has been correctly reported." The portion of the President's nomination for the unfunded debts of foreign countries appears on page 123 of the Congressional Record of December 8, 1925, and the principal sum without interest, still pending, is the debt of France of $120,000,000, on which at present in control have undertaken openly to be paid currently; and Austria, $24,000,000, on which by act of Congress a payment be paid currently; and Austria, $24,000,000, on which by act of Congress a payment be paid currently; and Austria, $24,000,000, due from Armenia, which has now ceased to exist as an independent nation. The phrase "which those at present in control have undertaken openly to repudiate", applies only to Russia and not Liberta or any of the other countries, and a word to this effect was communicated thru regular channels. --- CANTATA AT JOHN WESLEY WASHINGTON, D.

Case No. 5, also on file, deals with a group of Indians who had a mixed white woman of good family and a semi-miraculous origin from two pure blood Indian maidens discovered, dryd-like in a hollow tree, and from one of them. * * * records prove the presence of Negro blood in this group * * * the marriage records of the grandparents of one of the chiefs on it the annotation "tree Negro." Amalgamation Of case 6 on file in the State records, the writer says: "This case is important in that it shows not only the actual process of an appeal, but also the appalling instance of the decay of deseney and race pride which constitutes the psychological basis of the color line. It is expressibly humiliating to bring an affair to notice, but if we are to gain a true concept of conditions as they exist, it is necessary to look facts in the face. Only so can we cope with the situation. If we are presented with such a richness as possible." Mulatto Child This case is that of a white woman who left her husband and returned to her home to marry a mulatto child. He took her back. Other children were born to her, some white, some colored, her husband apparently making no protest. The compliance of the white father is the most revolting feature of the story." Whites Have Dark Children Powell gives many instances of apparently white couples bearing black children. It seems that the children are not the writer continues; "Material similar to these six cases could be deduced from practically every county of the First District. Statistical data of Vital Statistics alone are instances from six of the sixteen counties, and this, too, notwithstanding that the bureau has only been working in the 19th and has means at its disposal wherewith to undertake investigations on its own initiative." Verily, it seems as if the stable is being locked after the horses has escaped. Indian Proven Negroes The cases in the Second and Third Districts deal with groups of Negro-hating Indians of Negro and white ancestry who went through a period of violence, when some were Indians. "The fish were fried and eaten. Sacramentive and transmutative fish! Before eating, Negro; after eating, the fish of a light" Negro, who married a white girl; of a group of mixed Indian, white and Negro families of which have removed to Norfolk and Portsmouth and intermarried with the family, which registered its eight children as now white, now colored, while the racial status of the last child, born 1834, is recorded with a white wife, who married a Negro and a Chinese. Marries Into Prominent White Family Among those in the Fourth District, the "moved owe" into Chesterfield and married into a white family of prominence in this county, where he and his wife now living"; of a woman who was married "into a prominent family." Children Recorded Negro After her children were grown, it was discovered by chance that she was recorded in her native state in the 1950s, and had one white and two colored children; of a well dressed, well manned and evidently prosperous woman, she came to admire her claims to art and craft design, discovered she was descended from Negroes; of "a wealthy farmer," married to a woman of refinement who was born in few years ago.

The farmer explained by saying: "These Negroes are illegitimate children born to my mother, after my father's death. "It is impossible," adds Porsen, "ugive conceive any more appealing or more indulgent of the precarious condition of the color line." Negro Girl Reared In Luxury The Fifth District tells among other cases of a group which has been marrying among the white neighbors of the Indian indians" although the United States Ethnological Bureau states that they are mixed white and Indian; the Ethnological Bureau of Negro; of mixed breed children of a white mother who were entered in the high school; of several groups of whites and Negroes who live in the same neighborhood; of their offspring going to other parts; and "passing"; and of a member of a wealthy family which even the Negro of Secession could not impress; and a mother living at his county house. His Negro housekeeper here him a daughter, around whom he resided, and paternal instinct. This girl is received the best that money could buy, and was married to a Negra. The wedding cake was looked like Indian indians. In this same district the following remarkable case is noted as follows: An Appalling Situation "Case No. IX—X County (repeated to the Bureau of Vital Statistics). The facts now to be presented set a guiding condition exist within the State. To spare the possibility of the white 'inhabitants', it is deemed best not to disclose the name of the judge from another district was recently holding court in X County. The wife of a white man who was party in one of the cases was pointed out by the judge. She was Nerese McCormick, the court adjourned the judge asked the clerk of the court for an explanation of this situation. The clerk replied that the man was white and the judge asked if the clerk had issued the License for the marriage. The clerk replied in the affirmative explaining that the family of the man had been passing for white for several generations, and was of sufficient inference to make refusal to grant the license out of the question. He added that this case was no longer being handled in the control of a wide-spread condition. Judge Reports The judge took the first opportunity to visit the Bureau of Vital Statistics and report the matter. Or arriving at the office, he found it difficult to get the gospel from X County, who had come to report what he knew of conditions there. At first he had been reticent as to names and places, but encouraged by the judge he family had given the names of several men whom he thought would be frat and courageous enough to give specific information. The State Statistrar wrote these men; only one deared him and sent it several days filled with such information as the following: Mixed—Wife White Richard Doe, mixed; wife, white. The Z Family, mixed, pass, or white and have married with whites. "The pure whites of this county are afraid openly to expose the situation or to take any steps to combat it. The mixed breeds, and so widely connected by marriage. A member of the House of Delegates, and the affectionate family, discuss the situation in this county. I estimate that at least one-third of the white population of X County is more or less Negroid. The Senate is more or less low. I should say at least one-half."

L. Prattis, editor of *Heroine Joebie, a Chicago magazine*. He is known to thousands, and is a key contributor to Chicago weekdays and the Associated Negro Press. Booker T. Washington, was, for many years, the inspiration of the Negro press. As to many other kinds of our racial endeavor, he gave to it both form and sustenance. He was hugely inspired by the Negro press took. He must have dead just ten years. If he could return today, he would be amazed by the distance it has traveled in form and spirit, since his life. He is the most noteworthy in the settled history of Negro journalism. It has witnessed the emancipation of the black people, which representive newspapers long ago forsock. It has seen one paper after another take up the service of the public, rather than exist merely to give its own voice to the public. It himself in print. "Personality has been largely shoved into the background and the publishers of newspapers have dedicated themselves to the task of selling the pulp." When Booker T. Washington died, all of what little news he had on his newspaper contained the largest newspaper contained but twelve pages. Today there are papers with as many as twenty-four and twenty-eight pages, all of them carrying it. It is easy to believe that the news element began to count with publishers, having been using them more money than the expansion of their private opinions. That perhaps was the chief cause of the birth of the twenty for newspaper had been a sideline of many a man, when he saw that money could be made in the news way, he based himself to build a newspaper with many pages and much news. Rapid Changes Changes were so rapid in the field that it would doubtless have been impossible to have acquired, along with a sense of the value (in money) of the function of a newspaper, its spiritual responsibility to the public. News is calculated to give the reader knowledge of what is occurring about him and in the world at large. Truth is interpreted of news events will establish a sort of public confidence. They will create a reader conference which will depend upon the paper they read, and as it is written, on the interpretation of news events they become its support and power, obviously, the value, or greatness, of a newspaper, must be defined, not in terms of the number of papers published, or the number of the paper, the number of public confidence, support or power it controls. Its greatness is the direct result of its strict exercise of its function and the public response to its results. It is the result that I nominate the Baltimore AFRO-AMERICAN as "The World's Greatest Weekly." 34 Years Old The APRO-AMERICAN was found of thirty-four years ago by the Rev. William Alexander as a church and community organizer, and a humble, who was publisher from 1896 to the time of his death in 1922. Since that time it has been carried on by his sons Carl, John and Amrita. His dedication of the present status of the paper may be conveniently based upon an exposition of, first, his mechanical equipment and machinery, and second, the making more and more a point of owning their own plants and machinery. Second, its news service. News should be new knowledge, information should be current, and essential. Third, it should have character. That is determined by the method of presentation, the headlines, and the spirit of the news. Here is where a good newspaper "gets loose." Its heart can be found in its features and sub departments, such as the church, editor, finance, courts. Fourth, and most important, its personnel. What is the training of its workers? The spirit? The AFRO-AMERICAN company owns its building at 68 N. Eutaw street and 502-494 Druid Hill avenue. It is a brick building four stories high. The lumberjack is in charge of business, the first floor is the mechanical work then editorial, and the fourth for storage. In the rear of the building the company maintains a garage for its trucks. The mechanical component included four machines on a complete stereotyping outfit. The rotary press will take up to thirty-two pages in two colors. Thus it is well equipped to do its own work. I wrote above that the service is thorough and possesses character. The AFRO-AMERICAN has been most successful in solving the problem of getting information to its readers. In many cases been the first to sometimes publish a newspaper to persons and events interesting to its readers. Thus, to quote a few examples, we learn from it that Macaulay Pinkard was more than a month's old when Georgia Brown, and in the following interesting manner: Lady Luck "The way of a popular song writer, like that of the transgressor—hard. Lady Luck sometimes plays queer tricks, on the tunsen drum, often appended in have no chance for publication are often accepted and become best sellers. Others doped to be the "cat's pajamas" of songdom, often written in the 1960s. After the above "lead" Pinkard's trials among the publishers are told of the real "inside," and the reader tucks away in his mind KNOWL- Or, if you should miss that you may read on to where a reporter is writing, you may find the microns, of how this colored man is a newcomer among the fanciers, and of his knowledge of his work. You are made to wonder, further on, how acquaintance. Further on you may run into a reproduction of an interview with Bill Joongjies. Ross K. Bill discusses dance origins, the basis of his success, and so forth. How would you enjoy an interview with an anglophone known as the "Alley Orchestra," led by a so-called "King Tut," the members of which make their own instruments? These young musicians, and the AFRO tells you all about it. Call VErnon 6016 The 'AFRO-AMERICAN' carries more well-ordered news departments and features than any other Negro newspaper. Among its departments may be noted, the Negro magazine, theatre and sports. They are not new and Covering The Field The foregoing are examples of the effort to give news that is information. The same attempt is made to be thorough in covering the field. Its efficiency in little things reflects the importance of its importance. Last summer Edgard Brown, playing tennis in Chicago broke his glasses during a contest, of the newspaper men there. But he was not the only person to be published the fullest story of the death and of Groves, "Potato King" of any newspaper in America. It carried the longest list of newspapers in Chicago. It included its story contained not only the amount of tax paid, but the probable income. Most white papers just published a table and let you work out the asterisk service. It was one of the few papers to carry the story of an inbrogio in St. Louis last summer, involving one of the foremost Negro painters, bosses of the hospital, repatriative to investigate the killing of Walt Whitney, wealthy South Carolina farmer and politician, the only full story of the murder and the The APRO-AMERICAN leads in the effort to publish all the news all the time. All The News The members of its staff have positive, clear ideas of the duty of the paper to publish news, all news, Henry F. Arnold, answering the critic's question, writes: "News matter must be placed before the public in concrete form, irrespective of the irreparable harm the news is likely to do. Our newspaper Jackson may do what they wish against the laws of decent society and there is no complaint so long as information their work gives to the newspaper: "If the newspaper is content to allow Mr. Jones and Miss Jackson to violate the sacred laws of God and justice, it is not for furst when we will be able to violate the laws of society with impunity. News is news. The newspaper is decidedly the task of printing news. No newspaper places the name of any one person in its columns out of sheer malice. In order for the newspaper to do the line and let the falls fall where they may. Any other procedure would be diametrically opposite the purpose for which a newspaper is published. Again he writes: "There is no getting away from this fact: The publicity of scandals makes others careful of what they do. "If men and women in high places are not exposed by the press, there is danger to the moral fabric of society. No newspaper can long survive if it fails to give the public news of the things which the public wants." "The press must transmit the news of the day. The purpose of the press is not to harm society, but to carry its duty to society. Print News" Type In the presentation of its news the AFRO-AMERICAN employs a change of type font and face which is calculated to bring out the most important features of reading easier for the reader. The "heads" of "big" stories are done in large type, well headed; the body of the stories is conveniently sized and narrow column measures employed with sope paragraphs to good effect. The headlines are striking, intelligent and attractive and capture our pupil's this respect, realizing the necessity of telling the entire story in a few words and at the same time giving their heads and captions a literary flair. In all cases, else, all count in the effective headline. The heads of the AFRO-AMERICAN seem uniformly good with the possible exception of the choice of type. Some of its headlines are reproduced with The "lead" to the story about Macco Pinkard, quoted before, indicates the spirit with which the MP writes. Each word must serve a purpose and it must be the right word, the best possible out of many words. Its writers have succeeded in finding the loud and definitely there. There is no floundering around. Another Lead Here is another lead: "Following the death of their 15-month-old boy from choiher Thursday, Mr. and Mrs. judges Pafrol and Jake were charged with and jailed Friday. They were charged with failure to give medicine prescribed by a doctor because of their religious beliefs, including the first word, is a "head" for the technicians to argue about. How do you like the following? "Howould a plan for a blessed hymnoon went on the rocks with a jolt Friday when William Ross, age 17, led his prospective bidder to the marriage license desk of the marriage license clerk shy of the necessary $2 certificate fee." There you discover the essentials. then sections of the paper. They represent special fields in which the paper's employees apply themselves. Each has character and a purpose. The paper that was written of news, they are informative, thorough and spirited. **Church Page** The section of the paper devoted to church interest does more than carry notices of church meetings. It takes up church problems, local events, and special interests to the church. This year there have been published in that department some of the famous sermons of John Jasper, the "sun of move change" sermon, and some exciting tope the past summer, the AFNO carried articles containing the opinions of some of America's leading religious thinkers on the Quarrel Between Religion and Science. In addition to these things, the department does much toward paying for itself through bonafide advertising from the churches of the city which look to the paper for the weekly Sunday sermon and other typical matter. The business section in the paper aims to provide information of the Negro economic condition. Negro economic condition is elected in less columns. The man who directs the columns devoted to business keeps his fingers on conditions, of every character, throughout the country. The information given in the magazine section is designed for women. It contains features devoted to the health of babies and grownets, shopping, household hints, home education, cooking, peres, games, and other activities. It also carried regularly some standard work of fiction. Among the novels that have been and are being published on this page are Rene Mane, a mathematician at the Low and "Velite Arlborocrates" by Gertrude Sanborn. Most of the court news that is not of more than ordinary interest is placed in a section containing nother The sports and the theater pages are up-to-the-minute and sometimes fascinating. These editors seem busy, but they are also the place on their pages all that they can about the stars the public is following. It may be Sissie, Lottie, Kate, or maybe Willis, "Jazz" Byrd, or "Wu Fang" Ward. If you want to learn something ELSE about them, the APKro editors conduct columns of comment that are same, practical and helpful. They know their jobs. Compact Paper The AFRO-AMERICAN is a compact newspaper. No space is wasted. As much is said in as few words when you see the first page. If you turn to the editorial pages, you will find it striking you in the face. The editor of the AFRO writes like a boss man. He has his opinions, that's it. He is a man who states his case. He does so, clearly succinctly. Do not believe as he does? All right, then, let's go along. If you don't have gone on to read the book, he will wants to win with intelligence. He wants to be fair. He's not going to iterate and reiterate. If it takes fifty words to express an opinion through whole words, he uses reveal rather than burn. He explains. The present editor seems to be guided by his deceased father. What he thinks of his father? Read: "It is impossible to analyze the indefinite urge that attaches and makes us, black and white, one common brotherhood us. It is to analyze the indefinite urge of a mother for her-child, husband for family, or patriot for his native land. It may be due to the fact that we blacks have been a friend to every struggle for freedom and the face of sham, hypocrisy, falsehood, pretence, crime and tyranny." Or another: "The Negro journal has always endured the hard side of the race, and to its credit may it be said that in but few cases has it been venal. It has brought the best that there is in the race and has held it up to public gaze. In season and out of season it has been a reason and has always been ready to give a reason and a good one, for the faith there was in it." Editorials Or again (they are all good): Or again (they are good people), we should educate the people up to the standard of reading a Negro newspaper. Much hard work had to be done to overcome the ignorance and the prejudice against it. It was a long time before the pulpit, the bar, the court, the police, and the help a mother than a hindrance to them. It was a longer time before the business man found out that his business could be increased by its advertising columns; and we are very sorry to say that a number of people never believed this day. Nevertheless, in all these years, it has been doing a work for the advancement of the race that was not being done through any other channel. It made a bold stand against the people, and presented the claims of the race for better things." Here is a complete editorial from the son of the man after whom you hail: "Before trying to beat the train across the crossing or to make the speedometer hit the top, take off your lawyer's license. Your lawyer will write you a short will. It will felicitate matters considerably after you have been disposed of or sent about? Did it tire you to read much? That is the way he is talking to the readers of the APO-AMERICAN each week. The features of the APRO-AMERICAN can best be indicated by their name and a word. Kelly Miller writes for the paper every week, and she is frequently mentioned. The purest humor in any Negro paper is found in the column "Amos Hokum." Read as he explains that "Love isn't blind, it's just near sighted"; or "The most silly known instance of man's having the last syllable." Other features on the editorial page include the anonymous, but highly worthy Professor Fudge, highly known author William N. Jones the APRO city editor a*" editor of the business columns: "Weekly Lessons in English," by W. L. Gordon" Afro History," and the "Hoosier" magazine, by the Associated Negro Press and Presson News Service, respectively. In the review of the features the cartoons and sports illustrations should not be overlooked. These latter are exceptional, as good as the average. The Afro-American—South's Biggest and Best Weeklv Backbiters Dance-Bad Luck To University Students 5 DR. FINNEY RESIGNS FROM LINCOLN UNIV. LINCOLN UNIVERSITY. PA. Dr. William Parker Finney has resigned as professor of English in Lincoln University. Professor Walter Livingstone Wright is now acting principal and is backed by the f. Ivy and alumni for the post of president of the university which has been vaulted for the first time. Prof. Finney is a brother of Dr. John M. T. Finney, of Baltimore. Personnel Before commenting on the AFRO-AMERICAN personnel, it might be wise to write a word relative to another "power" of the paper, makeup, and to make note of the paper's advertising. Judgment of makeup, or the mechanical appearance of a newspaper differs, in most cases, after you do. Do you want an anstere, dignified appearance? Do you want an open makeup that invites the reader to read? Do you want a readable, colorful reading? Do you believe in pictures? What kind? Do you think makeup is important? These and many other questions determine character. By and by, it is probably the only weak point of the AFRO. The type is crowded, frightening the eyes of older people. There is not enough and the proper way to present articles. There is a suggestion of crumming. But after all, this may be just the thing the editors want, and it may pay them. The amount of advertising in newspapers and magazines falls below thirty-five percent in a good figure. Recently the paper Newspaper publishers know that that has been making itself felt more and more, among the national advertisers. It caters to a high class of business. There are certain brands advertising which it will not accept. If you don't know the members of the AFRO-AMERICAN staff personally, you can't know much about them except what may be revealed¹ of their work. There is not much stressing of personalities in the group. They do a day's work and then rest from their labors. All they want is that should please them, but talking or writing of themselves. There are thirty-five employees in the home office. This group meets each Saturday from twelve to one o'clock, besides discussing the work of the prominent speakers and good music. There is the finest spirit of fellowship among these workers that may be found within any of our newspaper plants. The statement is broad, but merely requires it to an interested observer to gain proof. These men are happy and hardworking. They are well trained. The men at the head of the paper are college men. The reporters and journalists are trying to do what the heads direct. They sense the success which has been theirs and now they are going on, full of the glory of the hunt, their paper, their mission. They believe in themselves and their duty. Nothing Flukish There has been nothing fukishik about the success which the AFRO-AMERICAN has had. The period of its most significant growth, the last period of papers have enlisted in some cause which disturbed the public at the time and gone on and by virtue of it. But there has been no cause for the AFRO, save that of doing well. It is a triumph of good, honest business methods, of intelligent journalism. The strength it has gained is lasting, and will not wane in the light soon over. The fight the AFRO lies in hard work, a devotion to what is practical and a recognition of the competitive demands of the profession in readers. It is catching them, whether they will or will. Five years have seen it blast its way to the front. Thousands of persons throughout America have done this, and done it. It is the oak of their home in the Negro newspaper field. It is a credit to itself and a credit to the Negro Press. It is an example to the Negro press. It is a living denial of the power of difficulties. The Negro Press has assumed a commanding place in the field of weekly papers. It has many shining examples that may be found in Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Kansas City, St. Louis, Los Angeles, just to mention a few places. Most Negro papers are turning themselves into the right path. To write that one is the greatest is not to reflect on the sterling character and worth of many others. The statement should rather serve to direct the attention of other progressive papers to these qualities, which have enabled a superior member to emerge from the mass. Power and confidence are both intangible, but very real. They are difficult to get and difficult to hold. They are the chief measure of a newspaper's value. What has been written of the AFRO is AMERICAN is intended to show the basis from which its owners have worked to get a public confidence. The growing power of the paper is undeniable. It has made the most of the opportunities in the weekly newspaper field. The weekly newspaper published by Negroes are the best of any race. The Baltimore AFRO-AMERICAN is the best and greatest of the Negro weeklies and Ltherfore nominate it "The World's Greatest Weekly." Picture 2.

FRANCIS-MAKES APPEAL TO U.S. SUPREME COURT --- PHILADELPHIA—An appeal to the U. S. Supreme Court in the case of the landlord and legislator, will be taken at once by his attorney, A. A. Benton Jr., of New York and an attorney in the state, following the recent decision of the U. S. Court at Philadelphia sustaining his sentence of 30 days for contempt Attorney Berle defended Francis before the Court of Appeals at Philadelphia, on appeal from two sentences, one for criminal and one for court of law. Francis was sentenced by George Washington Williams, district judge of the Islands, and the case was appealed to the federal court. The judge sentenced him, and all appeals from the Islands are carried. The Philadelphia court reversed the conviction on the libel charge, but sustained the sentence for contempt. The judge sentenced him to one year, the real reason for his sentence by the Virgin Island court was his opposition to Williams' appointment as judge. He was without judgment, and to one year, for printing an article criticizing an unnamed native policeman. The Philadelphia court in reversing the decision scored him a libel law to regulate the press. The contempt case gave out of an editorial by Francis in his "Emancipator," charging that he had been railroaded in the libel The appeal is being supported by the American Virgin Islands, which has been active in the case as an issue of a free press, and also by Virgin Islanders of new York.

Richard Rold, portrait painter, recently completed two portraits for the exhibition of the Society of the Independent Artists which was held at the Waldorf-Astoria. Rold worked his his way through the Pennsylvania School of Fine Arts as a hotel waiter and porter, he is a member of the exhibiting society and has often been represented at their showings. For this year's exhibition he has painted two portraits, one of Fanny Hurst, white writer, and Lester Walton of the "New York World." His style is conservative in contradiction to the gay vagaries and brilliant coloring of the modern school Rold's style is conservative and academic and his skill is characterized by thorough technical skillful brushwork and modeling that has been the approval of recognized artists. Work Is Praised The artist was born in Jacksonville 28 years ago and went to Philadelphia to study. There his work attracted a great deal of attention and comment. Paderewski who has always been consistently a means of inspiration and encouragement to struggling colored artists, particularly praised his work after a sitting. Portrait painting. Rallis sees, is his unambiguous but necessary in press. It is the most marketable form of art. Composition is his aim, where his paintings will be more expressive of thought and artistry.

First National Picture NEW YORK—Because they were considered unique and extraordinary, and allegedly breached their contracts by walking out of the Cotton Club, prominent night place, Herbert Brown and Mary McCutra, a dancing team, were sued by the management of said club in the New York Supreme Court. The team received $300 a week up to last January, when they were given an additional $50, but the deny any writing or experience that if the Cotton Club considered their so important, no effort to reduce their engagement to writing was made. Brown and McCutra deny walking out stating that they were discharged from the Club. Block of the club on January 28th, who ordered them to pack and not take any bows at their first show that night. Salary Stopped Miss McFraw is said to have demanded their salary, they being tendered a check for $333.65, which was stopped the following day, necessitating a suit in the Seventh District Municipal Court to recover, the case being settled for $100. Kender being held accountable their attorneys. The team disclaim unique and the flattering acknowledgment of their professional efforts. In a replying affidavit Brown stated that the late Williams and Walker might have been termed extraordinary, or that Florence Mills, of the present race, but among dancers in both races are so many fina ones it would be unfair to single out anyone for preferment. Hudglus Case Recalled The team, with Alex Jackson's band, has been playing vaudeville and last week were at the Capital, Saratoga, Pennsylvania, an independent house. This fact is another argument by the band. Graw to discuss chants to distinguish the band are not performing in regular houses. The team opines that if they were so good managers would trail them in view of the would trail them in view of the thelerk for desirable talent. This is the second act that has been recently to be used and extracted. The Club Alkaham sought to restrain Johnny Hudgins when he walked out of that establishment. Lately Leroy Smith's Band left the Cotton Club to play at Ciros, and prior to that several acts, including Hudgins, deserted to return to the Club in being with a great degree of interest in theatrical circles.

Handy, veteran composer and internationally known as the "Lady of the Blues," takes exception to a statement made in "The Saturday Evening Post" in answer to a query about the difference between jazz and blues by Handy (Handy) replied, "You know that jazz is jazz and blues is blues." In a letter to the AFRG-AMERICAN, Handy said, "Mr. Whitehead's statement is a reflection on my intelligence, which is my stock in trade. If he is allowed to continue unchallenged such statements it will work untold injury. I am writing the weekly offering an article on the origin and development of Jazz and Blues, that would place the situation correctly." The announcement of "An Anthology of Jazz Music" from the Early Nero Jazz Music to Modern Jazz is to be released and compiled by Mr. Handy is etched to show that the musician would not have uttered so obviously an ignorant statement.

"Colorless" Radio Wave "Colorless" Radio Wave Pickens Says Colored Radio Artists Are Assuming Foreign Names BY DR. WM. PICKENS The joke is that a lot of white folk do not know they are listening to a colored artist when they "tune in." The radio dissipates color—and that is at least one use of the radio. Colored artists are singing and playing to audiences which they could not reach in person—we mean, where they would be admitted in person. We will not give you the correct names here, for obvious reasons, but let us tell you a joke or two, using similar names. The white people often say, as they listen over the radio, "You will be Matthew C. Klein always does that jazz like a real Negro," or more coarsely: "she can give you an exact imitation of a bigger blues singer." The radio managers understand the weakness and the financial hazard of American race prejudice. therefore, they now announce that they usually use licitious and foreignounding names as a further cover-up. We met a girl in a mid-western city, who is being nearly worked to death "broadcasting" piano music and "writing" music. Her girl name is a foreignounding thing, but her last name is common; let us say Poissonia Johnson. She has no other name, just these two words. But how do they announce her over the radio? "Dear Citizens of the United States," she says. The real challenge of the Hungarian Holocaust (or of the prohibition Blues, as the case may (b) by your favorite artist—'Ma- Name Melissa Polonissa." Then all the dear white Radio- blanders settle back in their easy- hairs, in the perfect illusion of a universally white's world, and listen to this dark brown girl entertain- them thru the colorless air. "Isn't the perfect at that jazz stuff, tho?" "Yes, and equally good at Be- choven,—it's wonderful!" And yet some fellow wants to invent something so that we can SEE these artists over radio, as well as hear them. That will never do; it would destroy the pleasure of too many white folk,—and throw too many black ones out of a job,—or lessen their earnings. Let us keep in listening thru the impenetrable green of the intervening air, which emerges everything but the music. Dc. Don't you remember that a few years ago Roland Hayes sang at the World's Fair in San Francisco in a prize contest, each artist being screened off from the judges by a canvassor of the audience of seen, and Roland won the first prize? The American judges said: "Why, that sounds like a ritch Russian tenor," and voted for him. Later, he sang in another contest without the screen, — and just. They couldn't hear his voice because of the NOISE that his deep voice had. A few years ago in Tacoma, Wash., there was a colored girl who had the best voice, and they wanted her in the show to sit in a part. They said: "Now, if you are willing just THEATRE HISTORY March 11, 1921—Brown and Sorrell advertised for "Light complexioned fitted manager and receive good treatment.

We are also given to understand that there are 1$ New York operators who are not unionized. Down here in this part of Dionion we beat 11 licensed men at work daily, and they are mostly being flirted with by the white local to affiliate men with that body. We don't believe in half truths, and add that the salary paid these men is much lower than the union scale, but half of the hill has been climbed in placing them, and the known fairness of the exhibitors leads us to be equalized when public sentiment becomes privatized. Aside from the monetary inequality, I am sure that New York hasn't so much on we Harry Thomas, a local convention dancer and one of the original members of the famous La Mascotte Minstrels, is authority for the statements that the first theatre for colored patrons to be established in Baltimore was the Palace Theatre that stood on the site of the former Daly's Theatre on Pennsylvania Avenue. The flies of the AFKO-AMERICAN of 1007 substantiate Thomas's status. The late Henry Lee and Goo, Henson, owners of the La Mascotte then going organizing to a good business, and the proprietors were commended by the editor for their enterprise. Subsequently the owners opened another theatre on the same avenue above Dolphin Street, which was destroyed by fire if memory serves, and then the Queen on Long Island Followed the Home Theater in New York, where Gold, Renurh Pennsylvania, theatrue; Daly's, Pennsylvania near Greenwillow; Pensylvanian near Butaw and Bluebell, Saratoga near Popleton. Each of these theatres was owned by colored men. That the life of an actor is not all "bear, and skittles" is evidenced in an article written by Lester Walster in the "New York World" recently about the Rev. Ernest C. Lawson who vies the stage and red cap position has been elevated to the ministry by the new wife of Mr. Zion Barker Christian York. With Tom Cross, "Dooley Wilson and the late William Sudder he helped form the Alpha Comedy four. Those intimately acquainted with the profession know that there is as much practical Christianity shown among them as there is in any other single branch of the arts. The litterant life and obligation of toil at all hours prevents many from regular church attendance; more for the sake of the spirit of the law is often none the less. The true stories of self denial for the good of others if told would fill many a large volume. Make an appeal for any worthy charity and then watch the spontaneous generous response. Consider the sacrifices made by the colored actor in brightening the corners of a church. Consider the Bible truth that, "They who carry by the stuff are the same as he who goeth down to battle, seems applicable here."

Despite the unsuccessful title dance the is a novelty, and has composite elements that with the proper handling should be the means of filling some empty purses of the dancers. Whom I have seen expliting it in a company, and am not saying that he is the FIRST OR LAST. That being settled, may the colored folk weight the material and necessary for a dance, and other authorities on Negro songs and dances appropriate it. GO TO IT. Bob Robinson of the Dusty Murray Company has written a song entitled "The Mess Around" which places him in the running as a contender for honors in the develop- Paul Whitman celebrated jazz maestro says that "The Maple Leaf Tag" by Scott Joplin was the first tag as for us as he has been able to find. Research also disclosed that "The Memphis Blues" by W. C. Handy was the first blues. At least, he says, these were the first compositions that Amanda Jackson performed. At first both ragtime and blues were a sort of piano trick passed on from one performer to another. "Up to the time that Handy organized an orchestra in Memphis, it is doubtful that a single blue measure had ever been put to paper. Handy wrote out the blue notes for the first time," he said. The ragtime originally meant a symphonic Negro dance, and the real Negro blues were never meant as a dance at all, but were a sort of Negro opera, more like a wall or lament than anything else." "Big sessions of blues were held in the South among the colored people, the biggest of all held at "house rent stumps" when a Negro found himself unable to pay his rent. The entertainment consisted of a band of instrumented musicians and a purse to save their host's home and also composed a new blues for the occasion. Jazz, which is ragtime and blues combined with a certain orchestral polyphony which neither had, was still another way of letting off steam." Excerpts from pen of the world's foremost jazz avant-garde fairly bristles with fairness. To Scott Joplin and W. C. Handy, he has publicly given their due credit, which is remarkable in the face of the attempts of so many to detract from the Negro's part in the creation and preservation his own folk music. The statement made by Irving Berlin in the American Magazine" several years ago that, "Negroes do not, writeragues, be to discount. Mr. Whitman deserves a vote of thanks for his candiness. CAREY J.

An added help is the short story of the picture carefully chosen for your guidance, and the names of stars aid in following the instructions.

Patronize the theatres named in FILM TITS and advertised on these pages—They all PLAY FAIR. Tromble-at-Evil Tidd.....Leon Errol Betsy Tidd, his wife.....Dorothy Gish Mine. Do La Tour.....Nina Nail Jennison. On board on pirate ship.....George Marion Scout. the banker.....Tully Marshall Grabb, the inmkeeper.....Frank Lawyer Nancy Downs.....Eldyn Murphy Grabb, his wife.....James Remile "Tremble-at-Evil" Tidd a hen-pecked Boston tail reads tales of pirate exploits and inspires in a life on the Spanish Main. When no one is looking he dons the attire of a buccaneer and struts his shop. One day his wife comes to arouse the population. Tidd has to flee. He hides in the stern of a rowbow awaiting the arrival of a far-famed pirate. The crew takes him to be the pirate in question, and Tidd is given command. Later, in lowering a frigate's colors, and Tidd's wife into his hands as a captain, he allures her. Later, Tidd's wife captures the real pirate commander, and becomes the hero of all Boston as well as his wife's. Displice its colonial costumes and early 18th century settings. "Clothes Make the Pirate" is up-to-date comedy, with no pretense but broad, slapful, shaggy lines that work reminiscent in popular taste, which comes to the Regent on next Wednesday. Thursday. Most of the humor revolves about Leon Eren, the star, but that part it doesn't necessarily call for complaint. Brol introduces a brand fun-making which is intended to draw from the usual brand It isn't with the quantity of tricks, so much as with the individuality of a single good trick—that of swaying around drunkenly—and then finally sinking to the floor like a melted tallow candle, that gets the comedian adress. He pulls this one continually, but the expected laugh invariably ends. Errol sets the pace for his fun by falling down hatchways, tripling over hawks, and hiding when the fighting is thick. The humor derives from the very idea of this timid, spindle-legged, commanding a pliant. Doobly Gish is convincing as a shrewish wife who makes her husband too the line to her own taste. Natali Naldi enlivenes some scenes in the manner for which she is noted, without being capitalized to any measurable extent. The player who really understands the situation, Natali, is more than capable of that rare thing called charm, all in you, you have certainly valuable, entertainment. Cowboys And Tennis Players The Royal has "Something to crew over" in the bill that they are presenting next week. On Monday and Tuesday, Larry Seamon, one of the screen's funniest individuals, appears in one of his few feature images, "Stop! Look and Listen! Those who have seen the 'Civil in the Linnoodine' and the inner is surpassed in tickling situations. There must be a funny feature." The Enchanted Hill, the feature for Wednesday and Thursday is a virile type of Western sprinkled generously with smart action and humor. The treatment makes it pleasingly different from the stereotypical pictures of the open spaces to which the public has become too accruing. Its difference from the usual Western is in an almost total lack of horses. The cowpunchers use automobiles instead, and likewise, there are more airplanes about than buckling bronches. Yet, so smoothly and round that not for a moment, do these obtrude themselves as being out of place. The use of ultra-modern effects do not infer that the basic passions and play of emotions among the hard-bolted westerers are not the same as when clients' chaps are the same. The constant attempts are often made by the wholes. Holt in the role of a gentleman rancher, cover a multitude of sinister tactics. Guns spit fire from all-sides, and fists shoot out with crushing force against unprotected jaws. Yes, boy. Holt is some handy with his mits, and what Nash Berry doesn't take on his nose, eyes and hind-quarters, wouldn't flustor a rabbit. He's always making a novelty picture. In this one too a decided departure from sameness is introduced in a tennis game played in automobiles. Richard Dix has the leading role in this highly entertaining attraction. Rin-Tin-Tin At Dunbar—Friday A regular thriller with Rin-Tin, the Wonder Dog, surrassing all his previous efforts. Below the Line" cannot fail to please the great The story doesn't lug in the least. There are two fine scenes, both of which are climactic. The first is the struggle between Niles, the rober, and the courageous dog. The animal's devotion to its friends is marvelous, we see how we are within role in a dimly lit dimly we should wish to be quite sure that the dog thoroughly understood that it was all for the picture. His attack is ferocious. There is little doubt of his ability to slay a man just as is depicted. The second exciting scene shows the dog dashing to the rescue of the man and girl who are threatened by bloodhounds. He arrives in the field of the holds the man truckers at bay and finally drives them off single hundred. Then there is a slivery sequence where the insane brother of the villain plans his diabolical revenge. With demented cunning he permits the slaughtering hounds to get the scent of the hero's clothing. Then release the dog and destroy him. There is a pleasing love story between Donald and May. The entire action, however, centers about the dog. He renders a marvelous performance, one that will cause all beholders to wonder at his unbelievable intelligence. Jack Dempsey At Carey-Monday Champion Jack Dempsey and his wife, Estelle Taylor head a notable cast in "Manhattan Madness" which is scheduled for the popular uptown theatre on Monday. CAST AND STORY Steve O'Dara ..... Jack Dempsey The Girl ..... Estelle Taylor George Harlan ..... George Sieerman The Butler ..... Frank Campeau The Chauffeur ..... Bull Montana The Maid ..... Jane Starr Hank ..... Bill Francy Zeke ..... Nelson McDowell Don Jon Fekman ..... Theodore Steve O'Dara. Western ranchman, has no use for the efface East because he cannot find any excitement. Being called to New York regarding a contract to supply horses to a foreign government, he wires a beautiful girl and she is later pointed out to him in a night club with a man whom he is told is "Doc" Harlan a notorious political leader and a bad man. Later he calls at the home of Von Eckman with whom he is to close the horse deal. Here the girl also appears shrieking for help. He is then taken to a police station where the characters are in evidence. There is all sorts of excitement. O'Dara fighting the entire crowd to rescue the girl and a mysterious package.

"I met a friend on the car next day and asked her how she liked the show. She said she got tired of so much suggestiveness. I replied that when I went to church, I would be directed to hear prayer meeting. But then I seldom go, so that's why I had no better sense than to like it. Yes, the evening class in journalism at the Douglass High School went to see the Ethel Waters show in New York. You are listening, to excerpts from statements made by embryo journalists following their trip to the Royal Theatre Thursday evening where Ethel Waters and her company "The lady replied, I go every suppose that that's why I get threat of it." "Ye gods! Freud ought to analyze her suppressed desires." The trip was a part of the practical class work in reviewing and developing the management of Earle Dancer, Miss Vaters' partner, and Frank Tinken, manager of the theatre. One of the best trips was reserved by Mr. Tinken for the trip. In another *wein Miss Myrtle Cardin* of the Sharp Street Community House says: "To begin with, let me pay a glowing tribute to Ethel Waters who was so fittingly consistent. How many artists of Ethel Waters fame would have been able to be a gingham dress outfit? I am prone to say that such an opportunity would have been a chance for the artist to display some of her most elegant gowns. Ethel Waters makes use of her very ordinary appearance and thereby produces a real and only Ethel Waters with exceptional personality of an artist. Liked the Show Giving her impressions Miss Mabel Chew said: "Ethete Watters" Vanities have made her outcast and perhaps a subject for mental examination. The reasons? First, I liked the show. Second, the deepest impressions she carried away was one of cleanliness? Yes. Sedum have a group of stage folk who impressed me more with their clean appearance. The skin of their clothes was their best. Their clothes were perfect. There was not one visibleblemish. Their hair was smooth but did not seem greasy. Even the comedians' clothes were stottles. They were unfailingly fun. "The poor unfortunate chorus girls, what on earth could have ever happened in the past to reduce them to so little pride. Seldom the actions loom large on the stage, but does the girl herself who has first committed the act. I am referring to the dance done by the girls. It was surprising to note the small degree of enthusiasm the audience expressed over the dancing done by these girls, even when so often expect rowdy aplause. "I studied their faces. Not a degenerate type among them. Even a smug "smalltown" Baltimore though shocking seemed to me to be done with tongue in cheek. To me it was an amazing gymnastic performer." There is nothing to my mind neater than the once famous tights worn by dancers. It is my utmost desire that nudness will not replace tights. While the stage is an exaggeration of ordinary life, let us hope that our girls will not aggregate stage life to a further degree. "As for Ethel herself, my, only wonder is how a woman who could never be called pretty could contort her face so and yet be charming. She was delightful." "I even enjoyed the very broad wit of the comedians. If they wrote their patter themselves it certainly shows they had some education. Some of their jokes even got by their audience." The black face comedians were clever and offered some very snappy well thought out jokes. On the whole the show does very well for Pensylvania avenue but what I regret is that our visitor towns our own first class hotel up in with such a show as our best. "I was prepared to see a much worse show than I did from the reports of friends who had gone home and been taken away," he said, before having, first, smallmouth bass.

EARL DANCER CALLED BONE OF CONTENTION Mix-up Between Ethel Waters And Other Girl Is Explained NEW YORK—It is reported in theatrical circles that in the musical brain of Ethel Waters, celebrated singer and comedie crime there reposed the horrible suspicion that the dapper End Dancer was "plain" around with beautiful Billy Kane of the Plantation Revue here. Daily, it is said, Miss Waters slyly wurried "Gentle lady" by never over dressing room gossip linked the names of Billy and Earl. New York—The smiling Earl Dancer, was the cause of an altercation with the plantation partner and Billy Cain, of the Plantation Review, considered one of the most beautiful choristers in New York.

The comedian, the comedian, the comedian says he contracted the disease while on a recent trip in Mexico. He cheerfully says he is sick and booked, and adds that he is not afraid of not recovering for he knows that he must 'take the medicine' and that he will put up a battle, although he is defeated.

Ramius has it that the aggrieved man met the Beautiful Tilly outside the Plantation door. Whether Mrs Waters charged her 110 pound renter was not revealed, yet, in a cloud of impenetrable mystery. It is known however, that an argument ensued from which the genial Ehlert retired with her 175 pounds untouched by human hands. The encounter was not a Louse Camper, as has been seen here this year, "but," she continues, "A bevy of well chosen, attractive and liveable men enlivened the evening with their charleston and singing. Judging from the rapt expression upon the faces of the male patrons they also 'got accross' and delighted the men." Ethel Unscarred No sign of disagreement between the partners of the new film of Waters and the band was was on the timbre where the Vanities company appeared at a midnight show. It was noticed that the Last Night" was robbed in the singer's repertoire. Whether Miss Waters was "signifying" not could not be proved. These are the battle of the artist's face Sunday. "Whether or not economy is their watchword, it was evident that their hosiery bill was 'nil' and that no expressman would have any complaint at carrying their baggage.

Armstrong has refused to give the local quint a return game in Washington although one was scheduled. Douglass scored 260 points against 203 by opponents.

And when he has been happily attached for a long time. Some months ago they had to pay over $25,000 for wage claims that could have been settled for little over $4,000. They paid this not because of any prejudice against the mourn the courts but because they claimed that the police had $4,000 was all they needed. So in the end they paid over $25,000.

But for the strange attitude of the owners the boat could probably be now making money in the profitable Miami bank trade. Split Imminent A split in the Garvey ranks is imminent, there being every evidence that the New York organization will stick by the acting president general, William Sherrill and that the other division outside New York will support Garvey in the new international convention set for Detroit March 14th to 21st. In Liberty Hill Sunday, after a stormy meeting George A. Weston, acting president of the New York convention, discussed Mrs. Garvey of seeking to stir up strife between American and West Indian members. Ninety per cent of the New York membership are opposed to the Detroit meeting as the law provides conventions shall be held here.

STAR Idaho's Revue A tabloid musical, headed by the former vaudeville team of Idaho and Idaho opened here at Monday afternoon matinee. The usual sustained applause that greets the entertainers appearing here was conspicuously absent during the afternoon. Portions of the routine, however, were received with the wonted enthusiasm appearing here in the prominent department, and was responsible for most of the laughs received. In a specialty Idaho and Idaho worked as smoothly and registered as completely as they did in their vaudeville days. The choristers are conscientious performers, the efforts of some of the principals attracted mild attention. An afterpiece concluded the afternoon. Allone The Green Archer; "The Green Archer" and a comedy with "Sunshine Sammy" among the players opened the show. ROYAL Johnny Lee Long's "Dixiana" Johnny Lee Long and his cyclonic musical comedy blew into town from Youngstown, Ohio and spread out their wares for the buyer's approval on Monday. From the first pitchback he is the entertainment game called at the Johnny Lee day evening Johnny Lee and his hired boys and his showed that routine is a varied concoction of the were LONG on entertainment. The essential review ingredients mixed and served in the right proportions. Without thought of prejudice to any of the other capable performers of the company, he would be able to do the capable of doing a "one man" production, and getting away with it if it ever becomes necessary. We had occasion several months ago to say that Long is funny and a comedian who knows how to sell his material. We repeat it. We do not mean to convey that there are people in the company. There are, and the result is a well balanced performance. For instance, there is Catherine Patterson who led the Dikiana Girls to victory in an opening chorus nicely staged and executed. Miss Patterson appears throughout the show in bits and song numbers all of which sustain the general impression she creates from her first entrance. She has a voice that she uses with telentic flair, and another likely comedian proves a splendidly for Long in the lauging section. Another clever fellow who made himself liked. In a specialty, Jeter again batted 400. Donald Van Epps showed by the reception that greeted him on his first appearance that he has a host of admirers in Baltimore and New York, and was greeted by the Dinah Girls and thereafter, whether in characters or whatnot upheld his established reputation for being the dependable artist that he is. Daisy Randolph a half pint sized Baltimore girl styled on the program at the Baltimore showing a pleasing and invaluable gift to the splendid production. James Robins, George Whittington, Lemuel Turner and Edgar Tyler, the latter a local boy, started the customers begging for more after their first quartet number.

The Dixiana Quartet will never stare or be without room rent as long as they keep their voices. Edger Tyler son of William Tyler of this city, sang a baritone that caused him to be the envy of many M his former schoolmates. Mabel Carter also poked out as a capable performer.

The show was originated and organized by S. H. Dudley and H. J. umpire, with original score by Tim Brynn and lyrics by Chris Smith. We might go on indefinitely, as wrote the continuity, framed the movie makers do, telling who scenario and other details but this isn't that kind of movie; it gets away to a splendid and unique start with the company getting off a set train their way to the theater another georgeous set is a hotel interior.

Monday afternoon's performance revealed a smoothly oiled diversion entertaining and geographically mounted. The irresistible comic, Lonnie Fisher, heads the fun section, and with all of his known proceeded to double the attendants up with laughter at his every word and gesture Monday. Fisher has for many years been preparing himself for just such company in which he now finds himself, and the result is a credit to him and an asses his associates. Onie plays bow to Fisher's fiddle and the two produce some curious results that click, click, click. Madane Tolliver, primula donna, is all that her name implies, and is deserving of recognition. Ozie McPherson, who has quite a reputation fo monning minors, sustains her laurels in the new production. S. H. Dudley holds up the Dudley banner in a manner of his "old man" mighty proud man. Dudley is nothing to youngster, but his handling of the difficult straight role assumes man size proportions. Monday afternoon he seemed to be tuned up a little finely causing him to appear over anxious. The foregoing is not intended as adverse criticism of man splendid calibre of man's work, but an observation of a forgivable situation that will be before the week ends. Young Dudley's foot prowess is so celebrated that a repitition would be a twice told tale. The customers liked his stepping very much. A chip off the old block tanded right side up.

CA Iverton 0940 CONGRESS ASKED TO CHANGE H. U. TRUSTEE BOARD WASHINGTON, D. C.—The General Alumni Association of Howard University is petitioning the Congress to amend the charter of Howard University to change the present method of selecting university trustees. The alumni is seeking to have the government of Howard University vested in a board of not less than eighteen trustees to be appointed and elected as follows: "One-third by the Commissioner of Education, one-third elected by a mail ballot of the alumni of the university under alumni aupices, and these two thirds thus appointed and elected shall at their first meeting elect by a written ballot one third additional trustees. Under this plan the terms of one-third of each group would expire in one year, and one-third in two years, and one-third in three years. After the first election the term of each trustee would be for a period of three years. In support of their memorial the alumni charge that a large part of the failure "of the administration at Howard University to properly function is due to the undue influence exercised by a small group in the control of Howard University caused by the fact that they are self-potent and responsible to one person for its acts and has allowed a few aspirants for control to assume charge of affairs." A change in the method of appointing or electing trustees the memorial says, "would reduce to a minimum the possibility of there being formed within the board such small controlling group." The memorial is signed by George Brazier Miller, president, General Alumni Association, and Thomas A. Johnson, secretary of the memorial committee.

FANS DOUBTFUL AS NO STOP WATCH WAS USED "Lanky" Jones versus "Google's" Poles is the story of the Athletics Morgan game, with toes for the regulation 18 minute period and two extra ses- sions of five live cach on the floor of the New Priida night. P The Athenians were handed the decision by a 53 to 43 score in that part of the game that would make the wildest dreams of a circus owner look like an old midsummer quilting party. The collegians. "Pinky" Clark had everything their own way in the first half, which ended 22 to 11. Time Doubt in the minds of fans if the victory was a just one. Unfortunately no stop watch was used and to keep time to the fraction of minutes by a dollar watch in a fast game is an impossibility. A corps of mathematicians and lightning calculators will be stumped with an hour watch. An investigation after the game found no two scorers agreeing. For some reason scorers will not check up with each other, and the word of some youngster who presides at a score board, quite often the score on the blackboard was Important Scorers and timers are just as important as the referee, few teammates pay much attention to their selections. In a close game the best officials obtainable are sorely taxed at times, yet teams win games with their officials. Timers should be left alone, but players and fans were constantly at the table disputing all time and demanding to know all sorts of questions. Several times one of the scorers neglected his work to interfere with the timers. After carefully checking up on notes and other scorers, we find the score to be 53-49, instead of 53-4$ as given out. It will be never known if timers were correct, and the first extra session, as the game see-sawed with first one team and then the other in the lead until within seconds of the whistle, "Lanky" and "Gogles", "Lanky" Jones, who is rated as the greatest basketball player of the season, than any other player in years, was the chief cog in the Morgan machine. Besides giving a superb exhibition of foul shooting he caged nine field goals and made four out of seven tries from the 15-foot line. His efforts netted Morgan 22 points thus his Never have local random seen such shooting as was demonstrated by Captain "Gogles" Poles, of the Athletics, Poles shot eight goals from the floor and landed for 16 points. His individual playing was one of the high spots of a game filled with brilliant playing. Kelter Carges Seven "Larkin" Jones had the edge on "Herb" Kelter, the first half, but honors were pretty evenly divided in the second. "Herb" turned in his biggest score card for the season. The tall red one looped seven from the floor, adding 14 points to his mates tallies. "Clark and HEL in forward," contributed 14 and nine points respectively. Altho unsung, Mack Payne and "Hie" Young made a guard combination that was a tower on defense and offense. Captain Payne was at his best and helped his team with a defensive play. Kelter darted. Payne and Carges in moments of the game rose to heights undreamed of by their closest admirers. Greek Reserve Only the reserve strength of the Athenians saved them from a crushing defeat. Taylor, who substituted for "Scrapy" Brown in the second half, accounted for five field goals. His work was largely responsible in putting the Greeks out of the game for personal near the end of the last half when Morgan was leading 39-36 with two minutes to play. From then on the tide of battle turned and at the sound of the whistle the score was deadlocked at 40 all. Soon Sheffey was banished for rough tactics and Porter went in guard. The long strain told on the Bees, while the team played in game in Butter, Brown and Veney. The school boys played with the Greeks in the first half and led at the intermission period, 22 to 11. Second Period Going into the second period, both teams began a barrage at the basket with Jones and Clark doing the gunning for Morgan while "Chippy" Taylor, for the Athenians, drove the attack for the Athenians. With the Bears leading 39-28 and seconds to go Keller's shot put the Greeks in the van with a one point lead. Payne deadlocked it at 40 all from the foul line as the whistle blew. Extra In the first extra session, Poles cut the cords squarely in half with a one hand flip that brought the house down. Sheffey made it 42-42. Wheatley drew a foul, Jones made the free toss, followed by a cager by Payne, score 45-42, Morgan. Sheffey fouled Butter, who made the throw followed by a doubledecker by Taylor, being up the works at 45-45 at the end of the extra Double Extra Poles landed another one of his famous flips in the second extra period. Brown made it 49-45. Jones' goal made it 49-47, followed by free losses by Clark from the free zone. A field goal by Poles and one free toss each by Poles and Wheatley put the Athenians in the lead. Girl girls did a snake dance on the floor during the intermission. Everybody thought Morgan had won when the whistle blew near the end of the game for a substitution.

BY AFRO SPORTS EDITOR From a porter cleaning windows and scrubbing floors in an Atlanta, Ga. gymnasium, the world champion included at more than a million dollars, is the life story of Theodore (Tiger) Flowers, who defended Harry Greb Friday night at Madison Square Garden for the middleweight championship. The history of the new champion's life, like a fairy tale, and will shortly be shown in the "Fighting Deacon," a motion picture that is in the making. Flowers began his ring career eight years ago, but was not heard of until he gained recognition by Tiger Woods two rounds and winning from Sailor Darden in 15. Remarkable Climb From 1820 Flowers began a climb up the pugilistic ladder that has been remarkable. He took on all conners and fought an average of once a week for two years, at times he has given away 40 pounds of opponent. In the two battles he has engaged in the Georgian in both of their bouts in the indoor season of 1824-25. Not in the least daunted Flowers started again a rapid club that culminated in a questionable decision being given to Mike McTigue in a recent sight at Madison Square Garden.

Its next step will be to order Harry Wills to fight Gene Tunney, the recognized as heavyweight champion. This is the information that was given out this week by Chairman Farley, of the Boxing Commission. The commission board has talked the thing over from all angles and that is the best way out of it. It can discover the chairman. Farley had come for the commission to take an active hand in the matter and quit being fooled by Dempsey's promise to meet as ordered, somewhere, sometime. PRESS BOX GOSSIP Tiger Flowers must be applaud a chance at the crown the Pittsburgh quite some time since champions co-joined without uplifting. It was clearly demonstrated to with New York fistic fandom. Those Harry Wills over Dempsey would bless from the treatment accorded to the heavyweight champion. And w that, if Wills did win the title, it should be—the spoils to the winner race or creed. Both Flowers and Wills are去 to the sport. Another thing, Negro champions son did. Walcott did. And it surely it may seem tough for Flowers waiting to nail him. But the Tiger game. He's going to face the music. A record seldom equalled and by "Cutie" Brown, superb guardman he has been demanding his wise, at Hampton. He entered last for a forward position. At that time, so "Cutie" was thrown into his career. The newcomer served election of a captain, "Cutie" was who served two years as pilot. THOMAS W. Tiger Flowers must be applauded for agreeing to give Harry Grob a chance at the crown the Pittsburgh lost by no great margin. It's been quite some time since champions conducted business in such quick fashion and without quibbling. He is animated to us that the color line cuts no ice with New York fistic fandom. Those who have doubts how a victory for Harry Wills over Dempsey would be received might draw some conclusions from the treatment accorded the Tiger. We have been demanding justice for Harry Wills—a meeting with the heavyweight champion. And we are now more certain than ever that, if Wills did win the title, it would be received as boxing results should be—the spoils to the winner and all credit to him, regardless of race or creed. Both Flowers and Wills are gentlemenly fells, and truly a credit to the sport. Another thing, Negro champions fight. Gans did. Dixon did. Johnson did. And it surely appears that Flowers will, too. It may seem tough for Flowers to have a fighter like Jack Delaney waiting to nail him. But the Flower evidently regards it as all in the game. He's going to face the music. JACK CONWAY—New York Mirror A record seldom equalled and likely never passed has been made by "Citron," Brown, super guardman of the Seasiders. by Owen Brown. Brown has just completed his first year of activity, athletic or otherwise, at Hampton. He entered last fall, and cast his lot among the cagers for a forward position. At that time guards were few and forwardies many, so "Cutie" was thrown into the protectorate for the first time in his career. Well, the newcomer served admirably, and when time came for election of a captain, "Cutie" was the choice to succeed Chester Jones who served two years as pilot. THOMAS W.

Spriggs caged the winning goal in the last few seconds of play, but the timer, who had no whistle, claimed the time was out, the referee shot the ball, which got shot. The Baltimore Birds were very much ruffled at what they claim were "raw decisions." Seventeen fouls were called on the visitors against seven by the locals. The manager, Miss Daisy Bailey, did not take the Bird's coach along nor were adequate provisions made for scoring and timing. The game was closely contested from beginning to end, the Bird's team behind the T' 'issuees were ahead a 7 to 6 score.

DU PONT WILMINGTON, DEL. The new colored High School in Wilmington is to be built through the Delaware School Auxiliary Association, founded by me for the purpose of assisting in the building of schools throughout the State of Delaware. In the administration of the fund no public contribution has been required for the colored schools but there has been public contribution to a number of the schools for white There has been great need for school buildings of all kinds in Delaware, so that the committee charges that it will be impossible to obtain public funds for the colored schools until some public money had been spent on the white schools. But it is also impossible to incorporate part of the money for colored schools, the committee went ahead with that part of the expenditure without awarding public action. All Colored Schools, Rebuilt. In consequence, all of the colored schools outside of Wilmington have been rebuilt, with the exception of three one-room schools set aside for building soon as the site can be determined. The new High School in Wilmington will be the first money expended for colored schools in the city. Two years ago the council authorized the building of three new schools outside of Wilmington. The school auxiliary. The latter has now made a proposition to rebuild the colored High School, provided the City will complete two additional schools for white children, which condition has been agreed up. Interested in Colored Schools have been greatly interested in the schools for colored children in Delaware because it will be possible in our State to furnish good buildings for all of these children, and in four years, whereas, in the larger states it may take many years to accomplish a similar result. If the Delaware experiment proceeds well, it will be a great incentive to go ahead more quickly in other states. In other words, Delaware is trying out on a practical scale education program for colored children in whole community. The fact that the experiment is practically on a 100 per cent scale throughout the state, exclusive of Wilmington, means that the experiment will be a success of the campaign. The progress of Delaware schools will bear watching, for on their success must hang the fate of Negro public school schools in the United States for many years. If the Delaware record is good, Negro education will progress at an enormously accelerated rate. The experiment on account of lack of interest or incapacity of the colored children, the absurd result might have an ill effect for another generation. The Colored High School will be another step toward perfecting the experiment, leaving to be accomplished the rebuilding of the two colored schools in Wilmington. SCHOOLMASTERS CLUB HEARS MR.

WHEATLEY WON'T RESIGN Calls Federation Meeting Whcih Votes 25-5 To Exhonorate Her APPEAL TO BE MADE TO SCHOOL OFFICIALS "Commission" Bitter And Resulting Tangle Practically Wrecks Body Fur from quitting under five of the Parent Teacher Federation Executive Committee which twice voted to recommend her resignation, Mrs. Laura D. Wheatley, president, is still fighting. A meeting of members of the Federation from several schools voted Tuesday night 25 to 5, since the executive committee had exonerated Mrs. Wheatley of two of the charges, the third also should be thrown out. Members of the executive committee who hold Mrs. Wheatley's letter asking for 20 per cent commission on money paid an art exhibitor, Miss Augusta Savage of New York, by the Federation, say the next step will be to take an appeal to school officials. Refusal of Mrs. Wheatley to resign, they say, under circumstances which are obviously unnormal and disgraceful, has practically wrecked the institution for this year if not the usual time. Two lawyers sat near the platform of the meeting. It is not known who invited them. Rev. C. B. Briggs presided. Dr. Ivo B. Mason said today: With two la-yers present to awe the delegates, and a steam roller well oiled, the opposition had no chance, some of the teachers of School 116 joined fh a demonstration when one of the sut. Wheatley faction arose to speak. Most everything was out of order, except voting Mrs. Wheatley in. One of the delegates declared Mrs. Wheatley and a right to try to know how, for herself out of the art exhibit, because she promoted it.

Has Always Been Friend Of Negro PHYSICIAN CITES CASES HE KNOWS PERSONALLY My Home, Your Home, Said Senator To Student Who Needed Aid To the Editor: There appeared in last week's issue of the AFRO-AMERICAN an article concerning the Dyer-MeKinley anti-lynching bill. After reading said article very carefully, the chief idea as given would lead one to believe that Senator McKinley's purpose for supporting the bill is for political gain, rather than the good, legal for humanity and particularly the Negro. L as one who knows Mr. McKinley and his kind disposition could not refrain from trying to correct that. Mr. McKinley is a man of few words but whatever he thinks right he will try to do regardless of what others might think or say. He is a friend, not only to the Negro, but to any one who tries to better himself, he could always ready to help humanity. While the writings of this letter was a student at Howard University, Mr. McKinley gave me a home and did it, he could help me with it. There are very few white men of his standing, who will encourage and also help a Negro boy acquire a professional education, while there are many who work in industry along with industrial education. Mr. McKinley not only helped me but made it possible for a Triend of mine to finish law, with which education, law, philosophy and making a very creditable reputation as a lawyer. In helping my friends to study Law and myself to study medicine, it was done for no political gain, for we both hailed from states other than These kind deeds were done merely because he wished to do them for our great pleasure to give him great pleasure to do so. Mr. McKinley is absolutely sincere in his effort to secure legislation that would appeal and purpose in this letter is to correct the idea of political gain—which idea is, but on how much it is, is no more true friend in trying to help crush an evil which jeopardizes the lives and homes of Ralph J.

Tire Company May Withdraw Unless Its De- mands Are Met Liberian papers arriving in Baltimore this week con- firm the AFRO-AMERICAN report of two weeks ago that work on the $100, 000,000 Firestone rubber development has been held Plans of Harvey Firestone, of the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio, to develop 1,000,000 acres of rubber plantation in West Virginia, the Libarian legislature turned down proposals of the Firestone company tentatively agreed to by Edwin J. Barsey, secretary of state on a recent visit, and agreed that Mr. Barsey was censured for entering into an agreement which threatened the sovereignty of the West African Republic. AFRO-AMERICAN sent today the following wire to the Firestone company: Press reports your company offered Liberia $5,000,000 under conditions to be submitted Liberal government. Please confirm by wire, e-mail or mail. $30,000 Machinery Held Although the Libarian legislature turned down the Firestone proposals, the matter is not initially disposed of and reconsideration is expected. The Agricultural World says today "If the people of Liberia knew the contents of the present Firestone loan proposition and what it means to the people of Liberia, the grave grave of every man who opposes its acceptance. Follow President King's load and you are safe." The Firestone loan loan are do-nothing group and calamity bowlers. The Firestone loan was opposed by the President's cabinet. Customs of revenue have fallen off 29 percent since the legislatures' action. The Firestone company has $50,000,000 in loans which are being held up waiting final action on the proposal. The Liberian Press in an editorial titled "The Firestone Loan," declared Liberia must give up her responsibilities and exist on her internal revenues and cause involving herself in cancunian brews. This paper quotes President King as favoring the loan but it shall come from the United States and not from the Firestone people. It is not his intention to be hospess and humiliating. The present Firestone proposal, it is said, would inflict financial servitude upon Liberia and make its political government subject to Firestone control. Fill: No Rubber Filipino papers announced today that Firestone would finance on a large scale rubber plantations owned by natives there. The State Department announced that being grown successfully in Haiti. PREACHER, HAD MANY TRADES.

ATE TOO FAST South Carolinian Took Black-Draught For Indigestion, and Says He Could Soon Eat Anything. Ballentine, S. C.-Mr. W. B. Boukney, of this place, gave the following account of his use of Theford's Black-Draught. He had indigestion. Working out, I got in the habit of eating fast, for which I soon paid by having a tight, bloated feeling after meals. This made me very uncomfortable. I would feel stupid and drowse, didn't feel like thug. Was she told was indigestion. Some recommended Black-Draught. I took it after meals. I soon could eat anything any time. "I use it for colds and billonness and it will knock out a cold quicker than any bile better and quicker than any liver medicine I have ever found." Eating too fast, too much, or faulty chewing of your food, often causes discomfort after meals. A dish with Black-Draught, washed down with a bowl of water, will help to bring prompt relief. Black-Draught sensations, eructations, and breath and other common symptoms of indigestion have disappeared after Black-Draught has been taken for several days!

Thoughts Of The Founder Thoughts Of The Founder This is one of the favorite poems of the founder of the AFRO-AMERICAN DO IT NOW! It with pleasure you are viewing any *w* you like him or you love him tic For no matter how you about it he won't really care about it. He knows how many teardrops you have shed: If you think some praise is due him, for he cannot slip it to him. For he cannot, read his tombstone when he's dead. More than fame and more than money is the comment kind and funny. He is nearly a warrior, approval of a friend.

Fort-Whiteman Mister Levett Fort Whiteman, altered bodehick and Russian agitator paid a visit to the city last week and made a speech to a small audience at the CFA. Mr. Levett told of certain groups in Russia before the revolution who were barred from street churches and other public places because of their race. Mr. Levett changed all that it also published other distinctions of the necessary to send a lawyer or a capitalist to the legislature to represent workingmen.

Burlickle, was so ill that song were arranged by him. Despite the rain, the church was full and a million persons in over the radio from WLW. Twenty five years ago when few people were paying attention to Negro music, Mr. Burleigh plucked his first volume of "piano" melodies from them then called. From them on until Sunday when his latest, "Lazarus" was sung, Mr. Burleigh had labored to give world a glimpse of his folk songs, their folk songs, St. Georges' Rector said Sunday; "Mr. Burleigh has been a member of the choir for nearly thirty years, including the thirteen years I have been with." "I have never known the time when he did not take folk songs seriously, he was rarely known a member of this church to die who has not made a request that Mr. Burleigh sing at his funeral." I hope my friend will stay in St. George's church as he lives, and that he lives a long time to work with voice and pen. I hope that after his death, this church will work by continuing the custom of an annual service of Negro spirituals." At the end of the service, the service spirits by Mr. Burleigh will be repeated next Sunday, when clear weather will make it possible other atmospheric conditions will add a half million to the radio audible.

A Second Coming All the ltations used by the A. M. E. Sunday School Union in its Sunday School literature represent Anglo-Saxon types. The same holds for the National Baptist Convention. Christ Jesus is more likely to be found among the lowly and downrodden Negro people of the world than among the fabulous rich white races, former Bishop William Montgomery Brown, deposed bishop of E.

The AFRO's information came semi-officially from New Orleans, and is undoubtedly what Senator Harrison wanted the people back into the city before he was Evidently: then he has protested only informally to the Senate Committee or he hasn't opened his mouth and wants home folk to think he has.

When a town is fortunate enough to have men of the type of Harry O. Wilson present in him to the outside world, I have often wondered if Baltimore realized what Harry O. Wilson has meant to the co-aged families, homes, churches, and of serving the financial interests of colored people. I am glad to see this article. I am also glad to see the about other successful men. But there are not many anywhere in the class of Harry O. Wilson. William Pickens.

For White Women By MARY CHURCH-TERRELL At the hearing conducted by the Senate Judiciary Committee on the McKil祥 Anti-Lyceblaz Bill. "But I have come to speak in the interest of the white women of the South. We all know what heredity is. We must believe in heredity. And I maintain that white women who are the torch to burn colored men, as they have done, more than once, when they become the mothers of children, those children undoubtedly will be brutalized, and I think it is going to be more and more difficult to stop lynching, as has been suggested here, because the white mothers of the South are becoming more and more brutalized by these lynchings in which they them "And, of course, in speaking of the interests of white mothers, who are being lynched in the interest of the colored children of the future, the colored people of the future, who are going to be lynched in the arms of the lynching bees, because of the brutality of the white women who participate in them, who hear and are who see themselves. And for that I have some way will be found to pass the Dyer anti-lynching bill, not only in the means of the lynching bee, but in the interest particularly of the white women of the South." Taint No Easy Job FRED B. WAISON. COLORED RACE FORCE POWER JAPANESE NORDICT SUPREMARY DAY BY DAY WITH WILLIAM N. JONES Carl J. Murphy, speaking before the AFRO-AMERICAN Saturday club last week advised members of the company that they budget their living expenses and other savings. The average man, and woman work about nine hours each day, and they spend the previous hours for leisure. What the average man and woman fails to keep in mind is that these eight leisure hours are WORTH ABOUT 50 cents per hour. Your leisure should bring you in value received some way an equivalent return. THIS IS THE MONEY YOU LUABE THING WE POSSESS. Make your plans to save and conserve it more carefully than you do money, for money may come your way. GOES NEVER RETURNS. Most keen observers expected the mighty Republican steam roller to crack when it reached the Anti-immigration unmistakable signs of doing so. But when the reckoning time comes, don't put all the blame on white politicians of the Democratic South. We know where, they sit there. There are two sets of men whom Negro voters must come to give some serious attention in an organized way. They are the issuing-dodging and the time race leaders. The type of leadership we have is responsible for the fact that 12,000,000 colored men and women have not been effectively organized in the holding unit as will compel attention. What a chance for an able young man who cannot, be bought or who is not afraid to fight and who has a vision of the 2000,000 actual votes would mean. You can't blame practical Republicans or Democratic politicians for paying no attention to the fact that they claim political leadership of the race today. Do you-tell your children stories with a purpose? If so tell them this one told by Dr. Theorem of Porto Rico at a recent lecture at Morgan College. When a handful of Spaniards came to Porto Rico when Indians roamed its mountains and plains, they held dominion for years by telling the Indians that Spaniards were immortal. They had to fight the "great immortal, pale faced man" because they believed THEY COULD NOT BE KILLED AS OTHER MEN. "It brings it, one day said a young brave, whom the aged fathers called 'radical.' They caught a Spaniard, bound him hand and foot with stone, and then killed him. When they took him u- at the end of the three days they found him about as dead as any other man would be, and then began a bloody battle in the Indians their mothers were born. Here is a story with a moral. Youths fail to do many things in this life. They THINK THEY CANT. Young men and women must believe that there is nothing more impossible with Negro youth than any other. They really believe this, great industries, great discoveries in science and art, great structures in stone and iron will come into being. WILL WE DO WHAT WE KNOW WE CAN.

Mr. Hurry expresses the movement as one which will improve the life of our students' plan will be to promote good will by bringing together the best, interests of all racial groups. The Young Men's Christian Association is a powerful organization with branches throughout the country and the world, and if it tackles such a job in community, it will not only in war torn Europe, but in America also peace and prosperity depends upon honest good will. It would help to strengthen the voice of our colored branches in such a program. Fort-Whiteman Is He A "Red" Lovett Port-Whiteman, International, known labor leader and organizer of the Negro National Congress, spoke in Baltimore Friday evening. This address which penetrated with unusual clearness the economic and labor situation as it affects the race in this country, told his hearers about segregation and that segregation and that segregation was being upheld by capitalism. He said, colored men as well as white men should be given equal opportunities according to efficiency and that he no white jobs nor colored jobs. He said the separate school system was a menace to any democracy. He spoke against the measure recently proposed to prevent marriages between blacks and white and racial slam at womanhood. He said that white and colored submerged groups throughout the world faced the same problems of being the most militaristic class who reaped the unearned reward, of keeping some group ground down beneath the labor slavery, curled not one with the other, but one brown, since they were kept there. He urged white and colored laborers to forget racial differences and unite in a world-wide program to get more of the product of their labor. They bigger wages and better living conditions.

Y Heard and Seen In Baltimore Heard and Seen In Baltimore By RALPH MATTHTWS Residents of the suburban sections have been writing letters to the editor complaining that he gave too much space to city news and hardly paid any attention to current events in such places as Catonsville, Highlandtown and Govans. We were not surprised Monday when he slipped us notice to amble on out to these watering places and see what the squawk was all about. Upon investigation we learned that the people of Smyrna were why we raised so much fuss about Garvey going to Atlanta and didn't say one word about Uncle Ike Snoothers going to the poorhouse. Not a thing was mentioned about little Willie Snodgrass of Catonsville little Willie Snodgrass of Catonsville correctly guessing the number of seeds in a pumpkin at the bazaar last week. It might be mentioned that Willie's mother counted the seeds. Then too, it is commonly known that Govans is noted for the same thing. But nobody seems to know why Highlandtown is famous. Plans for the erection of a monument to Jed Corners in Elliott City, who did not return with the boys when he was killed, was learned that Jed had not been killed in action over there but was doing time in fall over here for desertion. Since the installation of steam heat in the church at Hlestersomn the boys learned taking down the bell, connecting up the steam and blowing a whistle every Sunday morning.

He was captain Mortenol, graduate of the French Naval Academy as highest ranking scholar and who rose slowly to a captainry in the French fleet. He was commended for bravery in battle, but never promoted to vice-admiral,—because he is colored. We talked of many things. Monument becomes all the more apparent Rene Maran and I, all of them ent. "One reason for the interest, Ecology, evolution be the intolerable Krin, and the Negro, the African, the French of all men in Europe soaks bold in defense of his face. His sarcastic and bitter pen was made him the hated toe of the French Colonial administration. He will be proclaimed the virulent a prophete of Hercule, fraternity for black Frenchmen as well white. But to begin at the beginning was a stormy night when I took care of the cosy and tastefully furnished apartment of Moncrour Maran in Rue Brancion. We lived in his study. "My room ofork," he called it; and it was. I am sometimes so it does not disturb the material welfare of the natives. Knows All Problems Not only was Monsieur Maran conversant with the problem of the French colonies, but he was also deceived by the French in many deeds of the darker races in all quarters of the two hemispheres. He has studied and written much on the problems of the Chinese in many American Negro periodicals. In all things relative to the darker races he is an expert. He is the problem of the yellow race and the black race is identical. The French race problem, the British, the American, are all identical. We have a common foe, and the sooner we can overcome this, the solution. It was August Conte who declared the Negro to be a superior race. There may be doubt as to whether we can overcome this inferior. These whiles call us savages. That may be. But we are quiet. We have men of science and men of letters. We are learning, we are learning, spending all of their time tearing each other to pieces in war. Silently we are creeping up on this so-called civilization. Soon it will be The writer's talk strained to Europe whom he vividly pledured as an old woman, once pretty, but now wrinkled; and to America, a man of music—with no music save Negro music and no art she could call her own. Batouala Then we talked of Batoma, of which he showed the numerous editions and translations there have been nine different translations to all. And then of the strongest sample of American writings, William Jennings Bryan. Here Mournour Maran demonstrated the diversity of the subjects about which he writes, for he showed me a copy of an article by him on evolution and Mr. Bryan, its polite name and sacred name. The soft, self-defender of American youth round one very much of Dean Swift. New Book In Johnson's Hand There is yet another thing to chronicle about Rene Mane. His new book. Many have thought was made on the pen of this wryter. At last it has come. LeRoman d'un Negre. The American edition is at present in the hands of Mr. Charles S. Johnson, et al. This is a translation by Mrs. Underwood has been completed. Of its literary worth there can be no better testimony than an extract from a letter of Mr. Johnson to the Dour Monsieur Maran: "I have read "Le Roman d'un Neur." It is a matchless gem of literature. — a work of genius. Days have passed since one of my deepest etched pictures, its turnoff of the emotions, its graceful poetry, remain with me vivid and fresh like a magnificent, sad ex, existence of yesterday.

But this is at present but a vague idea, and the appearance of America that can equil This is Rene Maran whether brilliantly and defiantly denouncing the treachery in France. His treatment of her colonies, or vividly painting word pictures of lives he knows so well or numinous, is a masterpiece, scathing ridicule and contempt, he is the same serious minded thinker and annalist. He is ever courteous and kind to his guests, and his strong personality reflects in his written works in contact. As the French would say: Vioia Vhomme Two volumes bound in one complete With thrilling story old but sweet No title needs the cover fair, Two golden hearts are blended there LIFE LIFE IS NOT SO FUNNY, LIFE IS NOT SO BAD, JUST A HAPPY MIXTURE OF BOTH GOOD AND BAD. We talked of many things, Monsieur Reng Maran and I, all of them interesting. Europe, evolution, Abd el Krim, and, of course, the French. For his work and his humour, Europe boldest, in defense of his race. His sarcastic and bitter pen has made him the hated foe of the French Colonial administrators. And they do well to fear some enemy, prophecy for black Frenchmen as well as white. But to begin at the beginning, it was a stormy night when I took a vulture foot for a new apartment of Monsieur Maran in Rue Brancion. We talked in his study. "My room of work," he called it; and it was. His desk was covered with newspapers; books of great interest was the man I had expected grey hair. I did not find it. In fact nothing prevents one from believing him a young man except a few of his books and the bitterness of his tone when he talks of the race problem. It is then that you know that he has suffered." A Thinker Above all, he is a thinker, one who penetrates far beyond the superficiality of things and arrives at their heart. Sensitive by nature, every taint of rice proffered to him is clear, dart, double-edge and cutting deep. His only relief from this biting resentment is his superlative humor. I do not believe that I have ever spoken in relation to the words of any man. Speaking in show, but grammatically pfect English, he related to me in vivid and pictureque style example after "the French manner" as he called it. Two Manners "There are two French manners," he said, "the local manner and the colonial manner; the one applies to France where Negroes are the natives, the other to the French colonies where the natives are mistreat. J, are robbed and are denied the privileges which are rightfully theirs. The manner of France is the manner of Great Britain, the treatment of their black subjects. "I came to Bordaux, when I was three years old. All my early life I was taught that France was a land of justice and liberty. Then spent several years in the colony for me this teaching became a lie." Code Repealed He spoke of the old "code d'identification" in force until about seven months ago, when the combined efforts of himself and other French men secured its retention. They did not leave the village in which he resided without permission of the French colonial officer stationed there. It was little short of serfdom as practiced in other villages were at the mercy of the French officers who, if they cared to right inflict numerous in convenience upon the village as a whole, or upon any of its denizens, many soldiers were brought over from the colonies called "volunteers", but in reality they were driven oxen-like from their peaceful villages to be machine gun fodder for a white civilization. "It is not that they feared to come, but that they did not care to be soldier for another and a hostile civilization, that made them reactive to the thought, said Monsieur Maréchal. Loves France "There are those who accuse me of stirring up anti-French sentiment. It is not so. I love France. I am not a Frenchman. I am these I wish to preserve. My accusers are reactionaries. They are living in France under best conditions and have no knowledge or thought of the welfare of those they represent." "There is in France a type of Negro connected with the administration who, because of personal gain, do not want to support the cliques they are supposed to be bipholding. Not so Rene Murun. An independent newspaper writer. Monstre Murun owes no debt to French administration authorities before the public. Any who doubt his fearlessness should read his daring attack on the French policy in the Rifian wars. He is a true believer in the political journal of Paris. He is never apologetic about the truth which springs freely from his pen. As a contributor to some of France's best publications, he made an exceedingly enviable reputation. Among those to which he contributes regularly are Journal du People, Les Hommes du Jour, L'ère des Peuples, and Journal Literaire. French." Col. Young He related an incident of a personal friend of his which shows that France hops also a. Colonel Young. It was the case of Captain Mortenol, a Negro, who graduated us the highest ranking student of the highest Polish scholastic honors in France). Serving in the French fleet, he was very slowly promoted to the captaincy. During the war it was the bravery of Fortune, one of the most German attack. He was always given difficult commands to execute. His bravery and skill were never questioned. But after the Armistice instead of promotion to the highest rank, Mortenol. He had committed a grevous sin; he had been born a Negro. Natives Leave West Africa Another indication of the lack of fair play in France's treatment of her black subjects is evidenced by the annotizing exodus of the French West African. Since the war, over 3,000,000 African natives have left the French colonies. In the last fifteen years the population of Madagascar has decreased but the population of equatorial Africa from between 3 and 9 million to barely three million. Now it is almost an axiom that the Brits harbor no African colonies and hence the gravity of the French sit- "When I first fell off the root," said the painter, "didn't know but was but as soon as I hit the sidewalk I found out."

"For several years I was denied the blessing of motherhood," writes Mrs. Margaret Linton, author of *Motherhood*. "I was subjected to periods of terrible suffering and melancholy, and the mother of another little daughter in my household. I was punished and indulged to my husband.

Hall, of this place, writes that she was "getting weaker all the time" when Cardui, the woman's tonic, was first brought to her attention. After she had taken Cardui a while, she writes that she "never did see such an improvement." "I suffered all the time and had pain all over," says Mrs. Hall. I was so weak I could not stand. My skin was cold and frosty. I did not have any color. I had always been a very active woman—used to outdoor exercise, walking and going to the gym. I got down, not able to get myself a drink, was indeed a hardship. "Nothing seemed to help me, till I began on Cardui. The first bottle ceemed to strengthen me, and I sent for five more.

Before taking up their residence in Estimate the brothers were famous in the music ft. their music-lyrics. Wedded after a four hour courthouse is the romantic experience of Mrs. Louis Womack, now of Pittsburgh, formerly Louise Alexander of Baltimore, and until before recently obtaining a divorce, professionally known as Mrs. Louise Jackson, wife of the comedian Harold (Hardtack) Jackson. It was known that the former leading lady was married in Pittsburgh recently, but not until this week were the unique features that preceded her latest embarkation on the matrimonial sea made public. Clifton Hangtown is the cornetist, Chaucey, saxophonist and clarinetist, John,rombonist, and Arlington, drummer. The latter brother has been unable to walk since a boy, he was born, died, and found in many a days' journey. He, as do all of the brothers, reads and is precision itself when he signals the other members to be playing or adds the drummer to her clarinetist. The drummer dances devote. After obtaining her divorce from Jackson, Mrs. Womack did not entertain the slightest idea to forarm again, or, at least, not until after more deliberation. Her first marriage was solemnized when she was but 15 after a courtship of only one week. Following her separation from husband number one about a year ago, Mrs. Womack returned to Jackson, where she engaged at the Elmhurst Theatre in Pittsburgh, she met Jacob Womack prominent citizen, but no invitation was given by the present husband that he entertained the step that eventually occurred, the actress returned to Philadelphia and resided with her mother for two years. Arlington Haughton's unfortunate indisposition ceases to be a hindrance when he is on the job to which he is accustomed, and his influence to his drums. There are but few among his auditors who are aware of the little drummer's plight from his playing, as stated before, is head of the band. He is not aware of his contemporaries. Each of the other brothers show complete mastery of their instruments which excellence is only attained after hard study by keen musical minds. He is not worthy, the organization playing with a oneness that is irreproachable. Another brother, Chancey Haughton, plays a tab, but it is expressed in the full form. With two other members, not related, the Haughton brothers have twice defeated rival bands in the jazz band contest held at the Royal Theatre, and loom up music that will be awarded the winner of the final. Courted Four Hours While on a business trip to Pittsburgh the former artist, again met Mr. Wannack, still no longer working, he flees plans for a return to the stage. The second meeting found the couple mutually glad to renew their friendship, for four hours on February 15, they were in a taxi bound for the marriage bureau, followed a trip to a jeweler where they bought a jewellery when the last ride of half an hour, winding up at the Euclid Avenue Methodist Church where they were greeted, much to the surprise of the bride by a number of well-known artists. Kerr Brothers Resulted Similarly enough, to the Eastern Shore falls the honor of sending to Baltimore another group of trio's who have lived in Cambridge, beaten the distinction. Dr. T. Henderson Kerr is one of the most accomplished violinists in the country. Foldin Kerr has long been rated as an exceedingly capable bandleader, and the late "Fandy" Kerr, who was a member of the band, is one of the most prodigious drummers. Unlike the Laughers, the brothers usually played in separate organizations, but like them, are numbered among the "Sho'z" musically Wedding Held All arrangements had been previously perfected without knowledge of the new. Mrs. Johnson told me while I was saying I will, indeed, it reminded me more of one of the scenes in which I had seen while on the reality. A Nevertheless, the marriage was fact and not fiction. Martha was well, well. The newlyweds, will reside in Pittsburgh, and Mrs. Womack says she will ever keep a touch with her friends and friends she feels that she is still one of them.

Then the officers picked up and mowed their brothers left off and mowed more dangerous propaganda to the case. As the day was fast losing his hold on the city feeling was runing high on all kinds of insults, and in some parts of the city lights had occurred. It was true that the wife of a prominent businessman had been badly hospital and the leader among a people was in full charged with the case; and waiting identification the woman, but her children such that it was deemed necessary at that not to allow her assistant to face her. The leader of his people who was charged with the assault was the Hon. Millar Lars, a prominent lawyer of The night of the alleged attack, Laws had gone to the home of a white man, who was "boos" in City Hall, to discuss the appointment of a new police officer to the coloured Deeds office. The discussion lasted until midnight, after which Laws had left for his home. That was as far as the case knew meant the case "too long" to report. The case "Weekly" called white man's home. Hero people were divided on the case. Some believed Laws was innocent or the victim of a frame-up, other said he was guilty. I under a severe grilling Laws stuck to the story he told the policeman who arrested him. "Building the home of the thief," Laws told the Lieutenant of Detectives, "I saw a man battling a woman on the next corner. The couple being white, I didn't think it concerned me." "About twenty feet away some one said halt." Thinking it was a bandit, I started to run. Then a woman came to the corner to run until I was halted by a policeman whom I met at the other corner. He then ordered me to return in the direction of the seventh officer, who was to attack the attack there was a woman lying on the present unconscious. It was the same woman that I had passed. Her assault had disappeared. The arresting officer was a white man, a race people did not forget to commend him for risking his life when he defended a man who sought Things looked bad for the Hon. Laws. Had circumstantial evidence claimed another victim? Race people waived for development of the question; who would give money to defend a man that the law had the goods on? Laws' family was prostrated. The law had girls of nineteen, who had told Bob, the reporter, that she would marry him some day. Yet every time he saw her, he would beg her to name the date. She had kept him in suspicion. He called on the family the day after Law's arrest. Consolled he. He would do everything in his power to prevent it. "I don't believe he would do such a thing." he told her as he was leaving. "I have a plan." A week passed. the woman was still unable to her assistant, and Laws was still in ill. But Bob worked untimely during that time and his plans were taking shape. During that day Bob had defiled the papers' propaganda and had visited Early part of the following week a statement, signed by the white woman's husband and printed in the afternoon newspaper, called the effect of the defray any person or persons to say that his wife was a dope person; $5000 was posted to back up his assertion. The newspapers the next morning announced that Mrs. Hunt, the victim of the attack, would be able to identify her assailant that afternoon. There was no question as his wife could have done anything. Nothing could save Laws from a long term in prison. That would mean the end of him, as he could not survive the sentence. But Bob had hopes.

BUTTON *Trace Weekly* for news from Bob who would be at the hospital when the woman would decide to leave. Bob and the Hon. Laws made a quick exit from the taxi-cab that was driven up to the curb front of the "Trace Weekly" office, they hurried into the building, a dramatic scene followed the meeting. "To tell us how you solved it!" Milford said to Hob after thankking him for what he had done. "I told the editor, his staff, Haws and his family, Bob consented to reveal the secret." "Believing that Mr. Laws was innocent of the attack," Hob began, "I found an ordinary cost button with the initials, C, C on it. From there he colored maid told me that she received many packages from a white man during her four years as maid maure. She also gave a good description." "I then edited on the Lieutenant of detectives, who is a broadbanded man and believes in a square deal for all, told him he had been hired to let maid the "Loyague" afflict." And from the description furnished by the maid, I recognized the face of Chester Carter, a white man who had served time in prison. The Lieutenant ordered his crest. "Under a grilling this man confessed and贝贝 he battled him, so pay him for his last delivery of deeps." "Although he made a confession, this man would not be identified by the woman I thought, so I played sure "Knowing of a colored man who was arrested a week before the attack, or the fighting that she did, he flee. I paid is fine and told the Louttenant of my plan. He agreed to help me. The colored man was in the hospital and when the day came for the identification by the woman, my trap was set and ready to be spring. He put me in the hospital, the Louttenant and myself arrived at the hospital. Large crowd had gathered, but the prisoner was well guarded. The dope officer guarded while the others entered the hospital. The colored man who had just been released from jail was carried into the woman's room. Laws was left outside. "That's him! That's him! the woman cried in anger and pain. She was sure" the Louttenant asked her. "Yes! she replied and began to mean. This junction the woman's husband rushed into the room." Bob continued. "Is that the man?" the woman's husband shouted, pointing to the man who "Yes," the woman again replied, her island reaching for his pocket, his ice blood red. "Let me kill the black bottle." The Lieutenant was on him in an instruit. He was disarmed. "Your wife have heil!" yelled the Lieutenant to the enraged man.

Elise had earned the highest grade for Mildred was declared valedictorian of the grading class. All the town was hurt and humiliated at this time, and the rich John Highfield, who had in his power to crush them all. Nevertheless Elise continued to smile for the sake of her mother, who was ill and in need of treatment. Elise's mother died, leaving her alone and friendless in the wide, cruel world. Elise's greatest desire was to go to Old Highfield, the went to old Highfield, who bluntly refused her a loan, much to the delight of Mildred. She remained, sold her old home and with only fifty dollars left Lyndale for New York, where she entered a training school for nurses. For three years Elise worked faithfully and married and loving disposition helping her ever many a cough place. At the end of her third year, Elise returned some with nothing but her diploma Meanwhile Mildred had been sent away to a very fashionable girls' school in her vacation back soon after. The old town had made rapid progress and it now boosted of a brand new building supported by the public, which still the dominating figure of Lyndale.

All during his visit he was seen by her every day and night. One night she gazed into his face she thought of his meanness and how he had held her thought. That night she prayed to God for strength to nurse him back to health. Her prayer was granted and she was able to have the hospital. Highfield thanked Dr. Carroll, but Carroll told him that he owed his thanks to his nurse, Miss Baden, who said nurse time was most important, and covering his face with his hands he sobbed quietly. The nerve-making job of a great man's soul in distress. He asked her forgiveness and smiling. John Highfield left the hospital a changed man. He gave a large sum of money to the hospital and made his head nurse, but she simply refused that position for a higher one. His wife was going to be Dr. Carroll's wife.

The detective entered the door the doper was brought in." "Here's the man who attended your wife Mr. Hunt, the Lieutenant of the woman's husband, who is the man" her husband asked her. "Yes," said the dope peddlers, interrupting the woman who started to cry. "Don't you say that money for my dope?

Excessive cough in children die of this disease; the greater number of them being babies under five does not kill, the long period of coughing, lasting sometimes for months, makes the child so weak and that he takes other diseases more severely susceptible to tuberculosis. Strongly susceptible to tuberculosis, it is especially fatal. Few infants survive when suckled by tuberculosis mothers. Breathing or coughing in children is the use of the same eating utensils.

"Give Baby his other rattle box, he's tired of this one," a mother said to her little daughter in my presser bag, picked up and put away because baby had thrown it down a number of times, and a pink celluloid one without entering into a discussion of whether rattles are ever suitable playthings for babies —this mother could find to child to find pleasure in simplicity. the baby was hardly old enough to grasp anything in his hand. As yet his own fingers and bits were pre-loaded with them contentedly until he dropped off to sleep, and when he awoke and was once more feel could have been as attractive and novel as if he had never seen them before. In the space of half an hour in the space of half an hour on his waking time, he had been entrained with two different rattles, bright balloon tied to the foot of if his bed and one or another of his very interest in him. Giving the baby toys too early and in two great a variety creates problems, the baby is being forced ahead, and like househue bulb, he may grow more quickly but he will be less sure in character than if permitted to develop natural attention to the baby's accomplishments repeatedly and exfoliating his achievements before batters or relatives are involved. He is also more artful in manner. How can he remain unconscious when folks continually exclaim over his abilities and direct attention to him? How can he be a running tree year old boy. Occasionally I top in to call on her, but never do have an opportunity for a good first kiss or any sort of consecutive conversation forilly always interrupts; Mother, see what I'm doing? and Mother doesn't look immediately screechs to him than ever. What do you watch And more often than not the mother says to to me, "Look at him—don't you think he's quite wonderful to be able to do that at his age?" And then Annabel is vain. Each time his mother embroidered a new frock he sends Annabel around the neighborhood among her friends to show how cute she looks dressed up in her frock. And then she will soon be a lost art with Annabel.

CREDITT-OLE Unless one starts early to learn how to study and think, she will probably never learn one of the greatest secrets of eternal attraction:ness, for lasting beauty must have a solid basis of intelligence. Physical exercise, accompanied by plenty of fresh air, and water makes the body strong and resilient, which leads to the next step—poise. Poise comes self control, all of which is possible to form lasting real relationships. This getting of and making friends is an free-ishable quality, that makes an appeal that draws as does the sun the planets. Its power is as mysterious as it is strong. It is the symbol of the Ideal woman:—it is the most irresistible of human motives:—love. This mysterious, powerful irresistible something is—charm. One need not be born with it. Charm can be acquired, and once acquired the possessor will be endowed with all of the characteristics of the Ideal woman. Charm is the greatest and the strongest of all feminine attractions. We find that we now have reached the middle round of the ladder or the centre of the magnetic circle, when we have acquired Charm. We can not stop here, however, as we have to prepare to draw dividends on the preparations we have made for beauty's sake. Just at the time you need them most, at the full blown years of thirty to forty, we must add Temperance, sympathy, Patience, Generosity and Tolerance to our mental equipment, and to the more physical attributes, Reserve of Manner, Dignity of Bearing, Choice of Diction and Quiet Voice. As we journey on we can still add these finishers of the radiance of Beauty,—Wit and Humor, Unselfishness, Contentment, Peace. We have then emerged from the indelible unconscious ugliness of the puckered-up new-born, to a real beauty of the universe. We have been seeing beauty; we have been making an investment in Beauty; we are now drawing upon the investment with accented interest. We study color harmony. To do this you must think of the picture you want to paint. Choose your the harmonious choice of colors, can you make a delicate well balanced picture of a thing of beauty. Choose your for your garment, and several colors for your palette, one color for the lining for your garment, and several colors that will destroy the beauty of your brown skin. Remember we are distracting us from the basic colors that a Caucasian adopts are bidshes on us. Take your time to choose, remember you are paint-able, yourself, as you show yourself to the world. BETTY.—There is nothing more striking and more intriguing than to develop the use of your type perfume. There is one renowned perfumer of France, who is now making a special type of perfumes for each birth month. Then, too, there is a splendid adoption of using perfumes that have adores symbolic of one's disposition. Either of these you might adopt. Be careful to be distinctive, and you will soon realize that your friend will appreciate this as a very refined trait in you. MARA.—Before I advise you I must take this occasion to rebuke you, and begions of others, in this crude disgusting expression ("my kitchen"), meaning the map of the neck. I am sorry to say many of the hairdressers use this ridiculous and inelegant expression, when speaking of the point where the hair-line, and the back of the neck next. We are cultivating, let our language indicate it as much as the appearance does. Now—for very kinky hair, I do not advise a close, or boy-hair cut, Rather have you hair thinned cut, and the top hair over it, very similar to the Inna Chair cut, It then can be marred and curled, so that the map of the head will be brought out, yet you will be saved the embarrassment of knowing that your hair is not straight (after a week) as that which is on top.

Page Seventeen sion Warrants POOR PENSION SYSTEM DISCUSSED BY PASTORS S265 A Year A. M. E. Preachers' Meeting in session Monday at Bethel church appointed a committee of three to visit Pennsylvania avenue theatres and to present their findings, if necessary, to the Grand Jury. Those named on the committee are the Revs. C. H. Steptan, Thaddeus Conebald and M. Cau. Departs that local theater were featuring actors in which actresses little if any clothing was brought to the ministers' meeting Monday and the naming of the committee was the result. The Rev. George F. Bragg, Recorder of St. James P. E. Church, mounted, devised he did to serve on the ground he did not approve of the methods used. The Rev. John T. Colbert, pastor of Trinity Presbyterian Church, also declined to serve, "because some of the brethren were dodging the issue." The Rev. W. H. Manokoo said he had not visited a theatre since he had been in Baltimore. Independent pension system by the A. M. E. Church under which the highest sum paid any retired passee is $265 a year was scored in a paper by the Rev. J. A. Beiser pastor of Prayer Church. He advocated that the Baltimore annual income supplement this with its own pension system. The Rev. W. H. Manokoo pastor of St. John Church, said that if he were a woman he wouldn't marry a Methodist preacher because of the inadequate provision the church makes for its pastors in their old age. Dr. D. G. Hill pastor of M. Morath Church. Amphonia, said the church was sending money in concession councils to Bishops' councils that ought to be spent in the pension funds, said he heard that the recent Bishops' Council in Los Angeles cost $40,000. The connectional council he called a humbly, and a product of hell, serving only to groom candidates for the bishop to go to. The bishop is 20 government workers who receive salaries from $60 to $100 per month. Dr. Bruce said that in the Episcopal Church, St. James is taxed seven and a half per cent a year for the pension fund. The Episcopal bishops will receive up to recipient one-half of the present salary. Dr. Charles Wesley of Washington said it was silly to blame the bishops and connectional councils, that the bishops themselves were at risk of their failure to pay succession now due on the present pension scheme. Out of the discussion it developed that Bethel Church, under the A. M. E. pension plan is taxed about $25 a year, while St. James Episcopal Church, under its pension scheme nearly $150 for the same purpose. POPE URGES COLORED CATHOLIC PRIESTS HOME, ITALY.—In a statement issued today, Pope Plus went on record as urging an increase in the number of colored priests to serve colored Catholic churches.

People, However, Suffer From One Crop System And Hooks Worm Says Columbia University Professor Although handicapped by the one crop system and the hook worm disease, the government of Porto Rico spends 30 per cent of its taxes and nearly 50 per cent of its total revenue for the education of its country. Dr. Lindsay told a large Morgan College audience Friday afternoon. Dr. Lindsay's lecture was followed by a lantern slide talk by Dr. Thomas E. Benner, Chancellor of the University of Porto Rico. Self Government Although Porto Rico is a dependent of the United States Government, it is fairly approaching self-government and independent from Dr. Lindsay who was one time commissioner of education for Porto Rico and is now professor of social legislation in Columbia University. This government appoints a governor, a commissioner of education and a military government passed in that country 25 years ago, he said. American teachers who once formed the majority of the teaching force have now been reduced to 360 and the cil- BISHOP HUGHES HITS KLAN ATLANTIC CITY—Startling 400 members of the M. E. Conference some of whom were members of the M. E. Church, Hughes arose to the defense of the Negro and us murmurs were heard crried—"tear me despite your prejudice for Christ's sake." The Bishop said he had received some "mean letters" for his attitude on the race question in the M. E. Church in sillying itself with the Klan was driving colored folk in the Catholic Church. "God help white people if black, brown and yellow combine against us." Norfolk superiority is bunk—Not many years ago our ancestors were living in European woods eating deer meat raw, bathing their whiskers in its blood and didn't bother to comb their hair. "Negroes have never gone back on the flag. There was a Negro in Boston Massacre. We gave our lives in the Civil war for their white brethers."

One Crop System Porto Rico is handicapped by the one crop system, sugar being the principal export commodity. Another handicap is the prevalence of the hook worm disease, which physician officials of the native population. It is estimated, he said, that there are 15,000 hook worms in every person. What advanced health methods are doing in the island, however, is reflected in the smallpox situation. During last year there were less than 25 cases reported in the island. The health department is working to also eradicate the hook worm. The government of Porto Rico adopted the prohibition law, but unlike America, they enforce it down there, he said. Dr. Benner presented an illustrated talk showing scenes of the cities where he said compared favorably with the farm huts in the south. The cities show the most modern progress in building and culture. BISHOP A. L. GAINES WELCOME D IN CHICAGO Br DAVID JOHNSON CHICAGO.

NORDIC SUPERIORITY BUNK, SAYS PASTOR NEW YORK CITY.—Nordic superiority is bunk, declared the Rev. John M. Moore, president of the New York Federation of Churches in a radio forum address over station WJZ. Sunday. Fellowship is the greatest word in the Christian vocabulary, declared the speaker. Jesus condemned the idea of Jewish superiority in his own day and will certainly look down upon the Nordic superiority theories of the present generation.

In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would not have old men and children with me. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where, am there, he also is with me, and I know, way ye know. Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the way unto the Father, so no man unto the Father but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also; and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the way to the Father, but by me. If ye saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me, seen the Father and how he sees me, sees the Father, and greatest thou not that I am in the Father and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you, I speak not of myself; but Father, that dwelleth in you. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; or else believe me for the very works' sake. Believe me, you, he that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these he shall do; because go he that believeth on me, the works that I do shall in my name that will I do, and the Father may be filled in the Son. Ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it. If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Conferent, that he may abide with you forever. The Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him; but ye know that he dwell with you, and shall be in you.

I John 5: 5. Victory is a very important word and bears great significance. It is unlike its brother synonyms "win" "beat" etc. One may win and yet no victorious, for victory is a complete subduence, which so affects its subject that it cannot survive. Victory is also the password to the courts of Glory.—Through faith He giveth us the victory. We must realize that there is more through the omnipotence of God. He has all power in heaven and in earth. He speaks and eternity trembles. Angels move at His biddings, the forces of nature prance at His behest. There are many who in this world claimed victory, but not through Christ. INFIDELIS Thomas Paine when about to die said: "I would that all those columns had been burned, the good of immeasure is crying against me." Valley when, taken all offered his wealth to have his life prolonged six months and when assured that it couldn't be lengthened six days, cried "I know then that I am too late to be saved." Hobbs at death said: "I am about to take a leap in the dark." Nero set fire to Rome and sat on a hill and rejoiced as the flames ascended; he had his mother beheaded rather than listen to her dictates. But he at last died an ignominious death. Evil conquered him. Alexander conquered all the known world by his military skill and all the knowledge because there were no more territory to subdue. But being a victim of drink he died a drunkard's death and now sleeps on the banks of the Aeggean Sea. Napoleon, another archangel of war, the greatest hero of the modern world, won his first battle at Tulon, France, fought under the shadow of the pyramids in Egypt, combined the eagle of Italy with that of France; he fought with his bravery, he wounded the drapery of his couch about him and went the way of all the earth. Cessar, who for seven years raveged the plains of Gaul made potentates tremble at the mandates at last fell victim to death at the front of the statute of Pompey against whom he fought by the hand of Brutus. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, left the courts of Heaven wrapped in flees, and with the approval of God, to die the sons of men.

WORLD LABOR PACT IS AIM OF FORT-WHITEMAN Negro Labor Conference Head timore Group ECONOMIC CONDITIONS UNDERLIE RACIAL EVILS Says Working Groups Of All Races In All Countries Face Same Problem A world movement of all workers of all races to free themselfs from the tranitional domination and oppression of the capitalistic class and to get their rightful share of the product of their toll, is the real aim of the National Negro Labor Congress, said Lovett Foul-Whiteman at a lecture at the Y. M. C. A. Thursday. All problems where races or groups are oppressed have economic background, he said, and it is to the interest of all works to unite in a world-wide effort to throw off snacks imposed by the ruling classes. The Negro America, the Jew in Tuscia, the Armenians in Turkey, all face the same economic scandal, which exposes itself in racial segregation and apprehension. Is Not Red When asked as to the connection of the Non-Labor Congress to the so-called "non-military government in Russia." For, on the same day that there was a trial held, He admitted that the movement were in sympathy with each other in that they were fighting for far ends, but stated that the New Labor Congress adhered to a program of lawful organization and community. His aim is radical overthrow of oppressive capitalism and the organization will join the movements of its kind throughout the world because the groups throughout the world are similar. Lord Fort-Westhall was born in Dallas, Texas. He was once a student at Morgan College. His labor work has taken him to various parts of the world and it was in Russia and England that he got his institute. Negro advancement in labor. At the Chicago meeting when the movement was formally organized, and which attracted the attention of the American Federation and the Negro Government, both were delegates representing 10,000 workers. Against Segregation One of the basic principles of the movement is its opposition to segregation in any form. Segregation and discrimination. is Fort-Williamen, is the outstanding means whereby the capitalistic groups throughout the world are keeping workers oppressed. The capitalistic press plays in racial differences and keeps racial groups at always a submerged group. The capitalists do not care whether the race is black, brown or red. He pointed to the admixture of races in the southland as proof that races have no natural aversion against personal contacts, but that the Negro is kept in economic bondage through racial segregation under whip of capitalistic propaganda. World Movement Workers of all races are uniting throughout the world, and the Negro congress is a part of this movement. Fort-Whiteman told the AFRO-AMERICAN that plans are now being made to hold a world congress in Berlin next year. There will be representatives from the $28,000 EDWARD A.

Abolish Railroad Labor Board WASHINGTON, D. C.—The Watson-parker railroad labor bill, as amended, the railroad labor board, and providing for the settlement of all labor disputes by direct conference between railroads and their employees, and mediation, the unanticipated arbitration of disputes, was missed at the House Monday by 381 to 13. (G. L. Mays, president of the Railway Men's International, led, it appears, an unsuccessful fight to have an amendment added to the law which would have protected the interests of the 135,000 colored railroaders. Senator Watson of Indiana, one of the authors of the bill, refused to accept the Mays' amendment, but Congressman Madden of Illinois yielded his support. Mr. Madden read the bill, rules rates, and working conditions of employees on common carriers shall be construed and applied alike to all employees of the craft without regard to creed or color or whether they are members of the union negotiating with the contract, or believe that Negroes, not being members of the Brotherhood, will get an even break. For Karl Phillips, commissioner of co-ordination in the department of show writers, "In the slang vernacular, it is up to the 125,000 railroad station to make can be known, in the Washington Park jail. And he is to perfect the unit he is together with shop councils, committees, and other group formations. Then maybe the Negro train workers who are now doing brake-men's work can receive brakemen's and perhaps the face can develop some more telegraph operators, engineers and other craftsmen of notable qualifications, positions, and pay."

EVERGREEN $43-R miners, in South Africa, a delegation headed by Francis Rothschild of the Virgin Isles, the Patriotic League, a workers' organization in Maitland, and a forward movement in the Soudan. Europe and Africa are taking the labor movements to encantate labor, he pointed out, and whites and colored workers are forgetting racial differences. Flays Jim Crow Miss Ellen Zetron, a young white woman connected with the Young Workers' Movement here, preceded Port-Westhman in an address in which she blamed segregated schools and our system of education which teaches the young racial antagonism, for the economic plight of the colored people of this country. The only way to avoid, to bring about equal or economic opportunities to abolish the separate school system and give every American child a free and untrammeled chance to work out its destiny. The meeting was presided over by William N. Jones and plans were started to hold a city-wide mass meeting in April where the masses may hear Fort-Whiteman.

"I tame a wise man," he explained to his friends. "You see, Magistrate O'Xell always gives you three months for shooting. I know the judge down town and will give you stuff. I know the nobody whose name begins with an 'O' nohow." Bicee Turners' case came up for trial there was a re-assignment of judges down town and he happened to be aigned on the day that the new elected Judge O'Dowd his wife had. The new judge was making a good impression on his first day on the bench. When Mister Turner appeared before him, he meditated a moment, then said: "Charged with shooting, eh?" He asked who use guns but I will rebel in your case and only give you three years." Taylor Was There With Excuses There was a whole group of disturbance at a private party which was in progress at 144 W. Hamburg street. Upon investigation Southern District police found out that Bishop Taylor, 21, 830 Eutaw street, was causing all the trouble the lor's lady friend had there, some someone and although he wasn't invited, he wanted to get in too and didn't mean maybe. Taylor was persuaded by the officers to accompany them to the station house of or several dangerous weapons had been removed from his person, none too gently. At the hearing a large knife, a razor and a pistol were laid before the Magistrate. All had been taken from Mister Taylor. The account for all these yeasons? asked the Magistrate. "Well," said Taylor, "I use the knife to cut tobacco with and the razor to shave with an——" "And I better sentence you to three months in the House of Correction before you tell me you use the gun to pick your teeth with," said the Magistrate. And he did. Then Got The Loot Nelson Persons, 1018 N. Chapel street, and Otis Vann, 1019 N. street, and Otis Vann, 1019 N. Wolfe street. worked as stevedores at Canton together. After several week's steady labor, he found a laziness and began to hay off. It was a week that showed how much more he saved up but after nearly a month of loafing he did not seem to suffer. The pair met on Caroline street one day and the following conversation took place. "Hello Persons, working today?" "Yep, Vann, guess I am due down there about six-thirty." "What time do you get off?" "Liesee, I hardly ever reach home for live o'clock." "You don't ever happen to break that rule and get home earlier, do you Neise?" "Nope." "I don't feel somebody might role you while you down there working?" "No, indeed: truth is. Vann. I don't got nothing there much 'cept a couple suits and O'cant and a virocla. Sometimes I don't even lock the door." When Mr. Persons returned home that evening he found his house had been entered and two suits, an overcoat and a virocla had been taken.

Jones, and he was aroused, he testified in 1924, when Small lived with them, and when he became too watchful the latter gave up a job with the Mutual Chemical Company and left the city. I did not know of the whereabouts of Small, Bland stated, until he intercepted a letter written to his wife. Letter Presented This letter which was presented at the hearing was of an extremely amorous character and pictured an anticipated meeting Christmas. It read in the paper: "My Wife to be: I am sending you $25 out of my wages and keeping only one for myself. I guess you like to get a house—some shops and stockings and I don't want any other man buying these things for you but me. Try to get your husband to go to his home, Virginia, and Ballimore and—Don't let him—. When Mrs. Island learned that her husband had intercepted the letter she packed her things and left.

I wanted to go some place to rest myself and ease my mind. I know I treated you wrong. I did not feel that I was worthy to stay there when I felt that you wanted me. I miss my children very much but I hope to have them with me soon. I don't feel bad if you want me after you want the letter I did not even want to stay in Baltimore. I would rather be where strange people are than with people I know. I hope you will let me have my trunk and things, and if you don't want to keep the house let my sister take all of me or herself and take care of the children. Kidnapped Children Miss.

Husky legs with bulging muscles were adorned in sheer silk hose with and without seams, held in place with a wide band of dressed in gorgeous gowns, the latest decrems from the Paris boulevards, Fifth Avenue modistes, and Charles Street shops. Some were sleeveless revealing, standing down to rough caulsed hands with a bright ring on the third finger of the left hand.

PERIOD One Person Out Of Every 50 Said To Have Heart Ailment By R. M. MOSS Executive Secretary Baltimore Urban League "HOW IS YOUR HEART?" There is a question that every Negro in the city should be asked. Last year, physicians or the coroner, wrote "Heart Disease" into the death certificates of 357 Negroes in this city and thus placed this as the second principal cause of death among the race in Baltimore, tuberculosis still having the doubtful honor of leading the 399 death attributed to it in 1926. Bulking about the size of the closed fist and weighing only five-eighths of a pound the heart is called upon to pump blood for about a minute of the day. At its normal rate the heart can pump about five quarters of blood but often it is feathery faster and may pump as fast as a day and day out this little organ is working a way and it is certainly worth a little thought and care to see that this hard working engine continues death—for its failure means DEATH. Heart disease in two years has killed more people in the United States than cancer or tuberculosis, and the most dreaded diseases. It is estimated that over two million Americans are today entering from one out of every fifty who apply for life insurance are rejected because of a serious heart defect, according to the American Life Insurance Company report. Hove in Baltimore heart disease is the leading cause of death among the population taken as a whole, kills 11,000 per year as many as tuberculosis in 1925. In 1925, this source for whites is mounting rapidly as may be seen by the accompanying chart. The death rate now slightly higher than it was at the beginning of the century. The peak for both races was reached in 1978 when the city had the higher rate in the most fifty years. While the rate for the whites has climbed rather steadily the rate for the Negroes has shown a tendency to rise all considerably from year to year. The main causes of heart disease are rheumatism, certain contagious diseases of childhood (chiefly diphtheria and tetanus), and habits of living. Any excesses in the mode of living may leave their mark on the heart. Eating too much, exercising too little (or to excess), smoking, not regularly, the over use of tobacco or alcohol, are all common faults which may do injury to the little motor of our bodies. Diseased toes that may gain access to the body during an attack of scarlet fever, diphtheria, or even a sorrowful cold may injure directly, or through rheumatism directly, the body's pumping system. Often signs which may be mistaken as heart disorders are due to some other cause. Indigestion or lung trouble in pain and breath in the neighborhood of the heart, shortness of breath, fainting and irregularity of heart—symptoms of heart disease. Since in many cases heart disease is accompanied if care is given en in the early stages, it is well for one who has these symptoms to consult a qualified physician immediately so that he may find just what is wrong. In the hardened and diseases of childhood should be periodically examined to see that there is no "hang-over." In the literature of one of the life sciences we find the following discussion of how to take care of your heart: "It is estimated that the heart actually rests fifteen of the twenty-four in the tiny moments between contraction, or excessive motion, causes the heart to beat faster, losing part of its time for resting. When we are asleep our heart beats on an average of ten fewer beats than we are awake. That is one of the reasons why plenty of sleep keeps us in good condition. "If you have any heart toreub, " If you have any heart trouble, be careful of your way and forget about your heart as far as possible. Watch your daily living habits—do not watch your heart. Learn to develop an even, calm attitude toward life. Avoid anger or aroused. You become angry or aroused. "Your exercise should be approved by your physician. Anything that makes you short of breath may be a sign of heart disease, as many hours as possible and get ten hours of Sleep a night. If you are overweight try a simple reducing diet; if you are underweight follow a balanced diet of foods and mode of living. Do not use alcohol and tobacco without your doctor's permission." While we have tended to stress the ravages made by the "white elephant" victims of Baltimore yet we cannot hope to reduce their excessive death rates, as outlined in last week's issue, until we have also made a conclusion that the second highest cause of Negro deaths locally, heart disease.

Judge O'Dumpe read the following statement before passing sentence: "I am not many unique features. Without any attempt to review the evidence in detail, it will suffice to say, that on the theory of the State, the deceased was the defendant pulled a pistol and demanded that certain participants in the game produce on the table and surrender to him what enemy they had in their pockets. The enemy, so, was shot and killed by defendant. Claimed He Was Cut "The defendant claimed that in addition to their drinking considerably, he had complained about loud dice being used in the game, and that he had taken them out with him and call the police. He claimed the deceased told him if no went out there with those dice, he would have taken them, that deceased jumped at him with a knife, cut his overcame six inches above the heart, another long cut in his arm, and that he dressed elsewhere. The dice were not produced. Defendant claimed they were taken from him at station house. Drinking from a shot deck, he shot deceased, said it was about some money, made no mention of any attack, nor the use of any knife on him, nor did he exhibit any cuts or injuries, nor hamper or make any mention of them. State Asks First Degree "Mr. Hillary Gans closed for the State in one of those irresistible plans of cold logic so characteristic of his distinguished father in my early days. He was a man of great defense the defense of self-defense was either true or false. If true, the verdict should be 'not guilty, and if they believed the defense, to find a verdict of not guilty, if the defense was not guilty, if the defense was not made, for purpose of defense, and the testimony of State witnesses should be believed. The State asked for a verdict of Guilty or murder in the first instance, or amendment, or for a verdict of Not Guilty. Verdict Midway "The jury after duo deliberation, brought in a verdict of murder in the second degree. The jury thereby indicted the defendant of the State's witnesses in their entreaty, nor those of the defense to any great degree. There had been testimony to as to the parties drinking a half pint of wine, nor was indicated, nor its effects specifically testified to, except as indicated by the general conversation and wrangling of the parties in the card game. Under the verdict of the jury, the Court cannot accept as a whole either the testimony of the State's witnesses, nor those of the defense. The common sense and broad experience of the judge in interpreting the heart and of the highly trained legal minds of nature of the man, than the cold logic the learned counsel. As the Jury's contents of State and defense, the sentence is also about midway between the maximum and the minimum of the discretion vested in the Court-by-act.
