C.-At the conclusion of a defense of General Robert E. Lee for leading the forces of the Confederacy in the Civil War and South "got together," Representative T. Webber Wilson, Democrat, of Mississippi, attacked Negro domination of politics in his state and declared that his constituents would not stand for it. His tirade against the Negro followed a speech by Representative John H. McCormick, Democrat, in which he deplored the action of the George H. Thomas Post, of Pennsylvania, Grand Army of the Republic, petitioning Congress not to recognize the "Conferentate" or "Confederacy" and calling General Robert E. Lee a traitor. The Pennsylvania Post protested against a move by the Daughters of the federacy to obtain, possession of the Confederate leader's memory. Mr. Wilson, in his remarks, declared that a condition exists in his state today which has no reorganization. After charging that Federal offices are sold, he said that the control of Federal patronage is almost entirely in the hands of Negroes. Save my country, save the Negroes are placed in the seats of the mighty and political control passes into their black hands." Continuing his tirade, he said: "must you should this administration try to do for the Negroes that which God almighty did not do? The same divine power that created the lower order of animals created us. You can take care of them, you can shelter his locks; you can put 'stacbom', if you please, on his hair, but by no human process can you make out of him a Kentucky thoroughbred. The Negroes have a relationship to cascade race." Quotes You All Should Know "The Thiefs race as compared with ours, and why do some Republicans try to do something for him that God Almighty has not done for them the Negro race. I have always been their friend. But their pathway leads that way, and our pathway leads that way, and we submit to Negro domination. There are some things my people will not submit to, and one of them is control of their politics, either State or National, by the Negro. In closing his invective, he declared that "if my people cannot get protection from our Government, then please God, protect ourselves." Defend Rebel General.

We have twice reproduced these editorials in this column and in this issue. The editor of the "Louisville Leader" took exception to the mom do plumes, "Steak," "Pepper," "Salt" and other ridiculous titles to contestants in a Charleston contest held in a white theatre in that city. The Kentucky writer thought that the publication of the real name of the contestants would have drawn just as well and sounded better. Continuing. "And then, maybe unknowingly but certain, they do us positive harm because they help to ingrish in our race that superficiality, that constant tendency to be a little bit of a fool to weigh only little, that sense of satisfaction with trivial, the commonness with a very perceptible abhorrence of and patience with the things that are really essential, that call for thought, labor, sacrifice, time; with small care for ambition and thoroughness and culture. "The white race with its years of advantages, its intelligence, its power, and its responsibility—its "white man's burden"—cannot afford to do this. There is nothing creditable or flattering in "Steak" and "Gravy," and if the Charleston we must have, let us have it without silly subjugues." I do not think that the writer need concern himself about the ultimate righting of what, just now, seems a situation in which there are mis chievous possibilities. Admitting the justice of his argument, may I without being considered meddling say that Negroes are showmen per excellent. White folk seem to like the funny things of Negroes, the latter to do the same to Negroes, the latter to vanity. Weep not for Ham's descendants, they like their brethren, the cooks, waiters, and other WISE ONES, laugh the money out of their pocket, are called good—and then may contribute to the education of some hoy or girl, or perhaps help the N.

PRETTY LADY ECTIC SINGER BEGAN AT SEVEN YEARS OLD Bessie Smith Started In Amusement Park Under Direction Of "Ma Rainey" FROM $10 WEEKLY SALARY NOW $2,500 With Husband Now Owns Tent Show Which Will Travel To Inspire Young BY MABEL CHEW Bessie Smith, star of the Harlem Follies and nationally known Blues singer, playing at the Royal this week to entertain the crowd. She has "upspise" in manner, nor has she forgotten her struggles before she became famous. Miss Smith says her greatest ambition now is to carry her marvelous talents to the small towns and wages so that young people of our race may be inspired to use their talent and develop themselves. Since she was seven years old, Miss Smith has been singing. In tent shows, cabbages and small offerings, although her success uses the same techniques of the story of a big amusement park in Chattanooga, Tehn. her home town, where she proceeded to cry all over the place, Miss Smith said. "She has known what it means to work for ten dollars a week and 'find' yourself and now, she told me, her show grosses $2,500 a week. In order to realize her ambition to spread her wonderful success Miss Smith and her manager-husband, Jack Gee, plan to work the business. The Smith might best be described as buxom. Her clothes are made and fitted well, and together with her smooth brown skin, which is not rough, she produces a very attractive appearance. She received me with true Southern hospitality and so pleasant was our chat that she asked me to come again, and talk to her. I certainly enjoyed our conversation approachability and kindly simplicity. Georgia Minstrels Sue ST. LOUIS.-Suit has been filed in the circuit court against the Delmont Theatre by the Famous Georgia Ministrels of which William Campbell is manager. The minstrels contracted to play the week for $2,500 and 25 per cent of the receipts over $6,500. The action states that the best troupers could collect after giving 14 performances was $25.

A. CHEW Mr. Jack Gee, manager-hus- band of Bessie Smith, is a personality himself. To my great surprise he told me that he was born in Baltimore, on Belmont avenue, near New York. For years he had a bootbelt stand on North avenue. He left Baltimore in 1905, and after a so- journ in New York, moved to Phila- phila where he became a police- man and remained in that position eleven years. Rewarded For Bravery Three years ago, Mr. Gees studied a diamond-studded watch for capturing a desperado called "Bad Sydney." The bad man shot Gees first, rising a vital spot by one inch as the bullet fired at close range the o'er car knocked the man down, took his arm, arrested him, and walked to the hospital. He cared. This story was told in a modest, straightforward matter of fact way, without adding details. Seeing Mr. Gees' height and sturdiness would dispel any doubts you might have about his ability, not. He is long and tall, just as Miss Smith says she likes them. Prefer Policing Mr. Smith prefers to to the show business. He can stand being shot at, but uncertain meals and doubtful beds get his morale. One night stands, lost baggage, careless stage hands, all combine to make Mr. Gees /THEATRICAL SECTION =~ —$—_— steel Polak s Celia.

Balduh Ali is a male dancer of the team Baby and the Turkish father and a Creole mother. A brother, Abdeen Ali is also well known in theatrical circles. Ali is the son of Makrad Ali, a Turkish silk importer who came to America many years ago and enlisted in the army. The child then moved to New Orleans.

ADAMS (Preston News Service) People are extravagant in many ways, but this extravagance is especially manifest in his use of titles. He describes his business as "designate his enterprises which of necessity are weak and circumscribed." The terms "acme," "superior," "monument," "unlimited," "universal," and others of this class are used to describe and designate activities and enterprises of meagre accomplishments, small magnitude and lesser importance. It is often in Virginia, in Virginia, a little one-room press shop bears the name, "The National Tailoring Co." In another place, a small four-ship barber shop bears "Cos. Paul's Barber Shop." In a Western city another little press shop is designated by the amusing title of "National Paniturium, For Men and Women." And this title titles goes on almost "inhumilit." Perhaps in no line is this tendency toward exurvagance in names more manifest than in the names given our insurance companies for their products, "The Mammoth," "The National Benefit," and "The Supreme."

Three Additions Would Give Sox Greatest Team In Loop - Tennis Club Will H Indoor Tournan Tennis Club Will Hold An Indoor Tournament April 9 BASKETBALL THE SEASON'S CLASSIC A ALPHA BY LELAND R. FINNEY In sizing up the Black Sox for the coming season, it appears to my mind that they are in for a good season with new additions, I would prefer that cinnamon. The loss of Beckwith, who jumped by the Homestead Grays, is offset by the acquisition of Ben Taylor, formerly of the Washington Patrons. With Taylor on first, where he evidently will be found, there leaves only one place in the field where he be strengthened, that is third base. Needs 'Third Baseman The hot corner needs a steadier guardian; a weak arm also is "Little" Jeff's handicap. Connie Day is the king of second basemen in this league. Make no mistake about that. While not a heavy hitter, he more than pays up on that in fielding, if he can hit 250 this season, his fielder will be shown. The hits and runs that he will cut off opponents will more than cover his weak batting. This fellow Flall in short I am told, knows a thing or two. It has even been said that he has the edge on Beckwith in fielding. The writer has not gotten a good line on his hitting ability, but a food fielding shortstop can hit 250 for many teams in this game, as they are as rare as hen teeth. A third baseman like Blackman and the infield would outrank any in the league by far.

C. State Wins Opener ORANGEBURG, S. C. (MNS)—The South Carolina State College opened its baseball season by defeating Coach Tutt Haines' nine of Augusta, Ga., here today by a score of 19-6. field. "Crush" Holloway who hit .371 on the coast during the winter season, is a ball hawk. "Heavy" Johnson who we hear is going to catch, but I would rather see in the outfield, can hit some too, remember. "Babe" Ruth Wilson we expect to see in the outfield also, is the old reliable. With the fleet Dallarl missing, much strength could be added to the defense. "Babe Ruth" would be of more value in the outfield than anywhere else as his arm would be an asset in outfitting extra, bases. Rojo And Clark The catching department cannot bobble feet and Clark know what it is all about. How many bases are stolen on Rojo or the "ox". I call him Clark is a very suitable understudy. Pitchers Strong and Britt, are the best bats, Force, McClure, and Jeffries are the best pitchers, and the strength of the infield and outfield gives them ample backhacking. Southpaw Needed A good lefthander that can pitch, would balance the staff greatly. All in all, we recommend another fast, hard hitting, sure fielding outfielder, a good left hanced pitcher, and a youngster who can hold down third. Britt should take his regular turn in the box and Spodden should secure a good utility man, then you will see a classical lot of boxmen. Barring mishaps, and an even break in luck, and the rest of the teams are going to be pushed to the limit.

"Lanky" Jones, brilliant Morgun College center, defeated Lincoln University Friday night by annoying a total of 70 points. The final score resulted, 27 to 10, in favor of the local dribblers. The tall pivot投七段 field goals and five foul shots from the 15-foot line bringing his season's record up to 19 points. "Cabin 'TII' Taylor," and five foul shots from line bringing his season to 11 points. Nina, took the personal assignment of guarding the Morgan star, but it availed him little good as "Lauky" continued to shoot "Lauky" leather thru the cords despite efforts to help him. ```markdown ``` Jones Shines In the first half which ended 15 all, Jones fairly radiated with sparkling plays, the Whitener winner of the floor had the fans still cheering when he hooped, two "tons more in hip position" Dick "Dick" Whitener former Douglas high school center - substituted for Strickland near the end of the half. With the score 14-11 for Morgan, the team space bringing his team within one point of the leaders. Copper put Lincoln in the lead with a doubleblocked shot, the court, but Whitener 15 all from the foul line when Whitington fouled him. Two gift throws by Sylvia when Young fouled him was the sum total of the Whitener scoring during the period. "Bill" 'Taylor Taylor held up the game three minutes and 12 seconds by "freezing" the ball at the beginning of the second period to the disgust of the fans. He was the target for many tart remarks and boos from the gallery for the long delay. After the holdup, Elliott went in for Cooper and a technical foul was called on Lincoln when the referee saw players talking to "him" Laws, who had charge of the team in Coach Young's absence. “Finky” Clark broke the tie after the toss up giving Morgan a 17-15 advantage. Taylor again went in his own zone and held the ball for six minutes while fans threatened and booed him for his action in delaying the game. As there is no rule preventing a player from holding the ball out of play, Referee Gibson could do nothing except wait until Taylor felt disposed to start the game. Evidently tiring of the long wait, Morgan charged down on the Lincoln players, who were grouped in their own zone, forcing play. Sylvera evened the score at 17 all when Young fouled him. Clarke again put Morgan in the lead with a two pointer. Jones was knocked out by Henry, but after a short rest he tossed in a shot from the foul marker for a 20-17 count. Morgan Béaliates In the mad scramble to score with two minutes to play, Lincoln was given a dose of her own medicine when Morgan was forced to do a little "freediving" ball. In the chaos that resulted Captain Mack Payne was overlooked by the Lions. Payne had slipped under the visitors' goal and on a pass he took deliberate aim to add two more power-ups. Two more field goals and one free toss, all by the perplexes Jones, brought the final session to a close. Sylvera Sylvera led the scorers for Lincoln with three goals and a like number from the foul mark. Cooper was second with two doubledeckers. Captain Taylor put up a strong fight, his method of holding the ball and delaying the game caused some rather harsh criticism of his style of play. As a basketball player, Henry is on the big center, on several occasions had visions of a mud soaked field and he evidently thought the fans were howling for him to carry the ball over, as he threw the weight of the ball over the last period almost causing the lanky star to take the full count. Harmon and Strickland Harmon played a smooth game and made an excellent mate for Strickland. Coach Howard played well, liking like a clock and did not make a single substitution. Clark and Hill made ideal running mates, while Young and Payne were excellent defenders. Altho suffering from a cut eye received in practice. Young was in on every play.

The Bears ought to have the game in the team in the country next season. It is reported that "Rap" Wheatley will enter Morgan next fall and it is more than likely that he will represent the school on the court. Wheatley will give a grave error by going on a western trip with the Athentons and missed his examinations. Big college players are never permitted to play on outside coaches who allow this practice are only hurting the player in his scholastic standing and sowing the seed of commercialism in the sport. Wheatley paid the team $100,000 from the school for the current year. Morgan's athletic council is opposed to school boys playing on club teams and an effort will be made to have this detriment practiced. The number of the Athletic Committee is bitterly against Morgan players wearing the uniform of club teams. Omegas Win Title COLUMBIA, S. C.-Benedict hean baseball practice last Monday.

Myers has been, over active in the affairs of the School, having been for two years a member of the football team, and one of the best javelin throwers that the school has had; for a long time, and a shot-putter, as well as a memoir. The Afro-American—South's Biggest and Best Weekly Girls Root With Handkerchiefs Morgan College girls showed their enthusiasm at the Morgan-Lincoln game Friday, waving handkerchiefs. The faculty and student council had banned yells by girls. Evidently, this had the desired effect on us as Morgan was a convincing victory. In the previous game with Lincoln the girls yelled and Morgan lost. The APFO carried an editorial calling attention to a yell which did not become young college women. The fair rooters claimed the chorus was "yell, yell, yell like ell", but to it sounded like pianin "hell". The boys did most of the yelling Friday night while the rooting of the girls called for the handkerchiefs brought something new to basketball fans. St. Paul Begins Diamond Practice St. Paul Begins Diamond Practice By EDGAR ROBINSON PETERS LAWRENCEVILLE, VA.—Spring practice has begun on the old red hill of the Tiger camp, Coach Taylor is not quite sure of his regular string, but quite a few of the youngsters are exhibiting form that will bear close watching. A number of the old recruits are back in the fold. The Wallace duet, with southpaw Hargrove, Drew and Amis backing them will more than likely operate conditions in the box. Coach Taylor is a little dubious about his infield as all of the lads in that division are romping neatly. Blackwell, Smith, Cook and Valentine are stopping with rare form in the outer garden. For the past four days the boys have been handicapped by three inches of snow, making rehearsals an impossibility. Their first tilt is with the V. N. and J. I. Hilltoppers in Petersburg April 14.

"Dempsey Signs To Fight Harry Wills" was a headline carried on the front page of a Baltimore daily last week. This story had a big news value for the simple reason that Dempsey hadn't signed to Meet Wills yet two months. Very few people read more than the headline as all are very well acquainted with the details of the story that followed the headline. Seyk took a newfound interest in the story "Jack Dempsey" The mysterious Mr. Floyd Fitzsimons was there gobbled up to say about huge sums runs up into the millions. The champion was to receive a cool million; Wills would get half as much and it was claimed that the Brown Panther had already received $100,000. Then Dempsey made a speech. The usual Demsey line about how he wanted to fight and a lot of other apples. The article said the promoters, a Chicago syndicate, would have their names published within the next 24 hours. It has been two weeks now and Dempsy has been signing to fight Wills with clock like regularity for six years now, and when a month passes without the champion going thru the customary routine, the public misses something from the news; just like when you fail to find the weather report in your favorite paper.

M. TS Comment Of Lea Use Of Pass In 1926 Football NEW YORK—The most important of the new rules governing collegiate football adopted at the annual meeting of the American Inter-Collegiate Football Rules Committee here, Saturday, was a limitation on the for-ward pass. The new rule is aimed at the indiscriminate use of the forward pass by the team on the short end of the score to encourage effort to score. The rule reads: **Penalty** A team shall be penalized five yards for a forward pass in a second or third pass in any series of four downs before a first down is made. Words or phrases shall be attached in an incomplete pass, provided that it is the first attempt before a first down is made. But if the team in possession of the ball is unable to advance, the team shall be penalized five yards. Another penalty of the same number of yards will be imposed in the event that the team attempts a pass on the third down. Rain of Passes To Be Curbed Under this new rule it will be possible for a team to be penalized ten passes if they would occur if the team attempting to pass tried three passes in the four downs and each was incomplete. A grounded pass on the fourth down will merely result in loss of the ball. If the team attempts passes that have been the usual thing in the last few minutes of games during the last few years, the new rule eliminates any chance of a team winning a game from a superior eleven by what might be termed fortuitous Must Kick After Safety Under the new modification of the code concerning the safety, the ball will no longer be put in play in scrimmage on the thirty-yard line of the field. If the leather is brought out to the twenty-yard line of the team that was forced, intentionally or otherwise, behind its own goal line, and said team will be forced to advance instead of the ball, the kick may be made from place, or be a droppick or a punt, and furthermore, the opposing team will line up on the field, and that a blocked kick with a possible safety is, virtually impossible. Thus, a team that has made a safety will be unable to regain possession of the ball close to its own goal line. And in this manner the successive safety evil will be curbed and perhaps cured entirely.

St. Barnabas tied the O. K.'s for first place in the first half and won out in the play off. In the twelve games played the O. K.'s have won 10 and lost two. If Grace losses to St. Barnabas Saturday night, the church champions will be in a deadlock with the O. K.'s. If Grace losses on Saturday and Tuesday to the Decatur, the O. K.'s will be champions of the last round and will meet St. Barnabas in the city finals. "Spice" Campbell of Grace is about the best center in the league. Campbell takes the place vacated by the peer of all junior pivoters, Neal Gilmore. W. Jackson of the Decaturis is a 10 second man on the track. He will compete in the Howard meet in May in the century run. Reuben Jones, manager of the Vocational quint has been confined to a local hospital for some time undergoing an operation. The Vocational lads miss the services of Jones. It is probable the Famous Red Circles may play the preliminary with the Manchester Juniors in the first of the inter-city championships in Washington Easter Monday. A Gray Steamer will take the AFRO champions to Washington on Easter Monday. The bus will hold only 40, so boys and their friends will have to make reservations early. The team will leave right after the reception. A chaperon will be provided for girls making the trip. The AFRO All Star team will be picked next week. This team will be the nucleus of the AFRO Stars, a quint to play under the name of the country's greatest weekly. Captain Saunders, of the "X" Defenders, is known as the "Sphinx" while in a game. Saunders rarely talks but he is one of the guest leaders in the loop. He is in there fighting every minute. Some of the teams have got to learn how to take a loss gracefully. It would be a great thing if can play a shake hands after a game and do much hand-shaking before the contest starts. "Ike" Shields is one of the most popular referees in the loop. Outsike of "Duck" Gibson, "Ike" is about the best in Baltimore. His services will be in great demand next year. "Teeny" Brown of Grace has stolen some of "Lanky" Jones' stuff.

By FRIZT POLLARD All-American Back (Brown University) (Copyrighted Chicago Whip News Service) When I was approached on the subject of a book of Grange," I hit it (your that I was in no position to comment on the Illini Flash of the simple reason that I had not seen him in action. It was a bad break for me as every time the Illini Great came to Chicago or played near Chicago I was in the East or other sections too. I was not present at the Grange carnival. It was the persistence of the editor that induces me to speak of Grange accredited by some as being the outstanding player of all time and generally recognized as the best performer of the last two years, and of his persistence only after I had played against the great "Sorrel Top" in Boston last week. Prejudiced to the East I cannot, but admit that I am prejudiced to Eastern football because, because I am interested and name such in those parts, but because I feel that my knowledge of the fouls of the game have made it possible for me to see plainly that Eastern football is the first word in gridiron exhibition. Have I ever witnessed a truly great football game in the West? Why. I should say so, but never in my life have I played a game in the West to some of the performances that I have had the pleasure of witnessing in the Eastern circle. That's my honest opinion. Understand me clearly I would not for a moment attempt, to suggest that Grange is not in the class of some of the men in the East, nor in the class of that he in the East nor in the class of that he not believe he just judge a performer unless he is sitting in the grandstand or on the field watching a player in action. Do I consider Grange greater than Thorpe? Hardly. I think Thorpe is the greatest that I wear a Thorpe if Grange is better than Thorpe in the estimation of critics it is hardly conceivable to me that there should be any arguments as to his class. It took me less than three moments to conclude that Thorpe was the greatest that I wear a Thorpe to him perform. If I could do that and since there is no reason for my being especially smart in determining a man's ability it seems plausible that well versed critics should be more than able to do likewise. Not Critical Now that I have not only seen Grange in action but played against him, you will expect me to give my version, but not so. The Grange I witnessed perform in Boston last week was no more the Grange of Illinois or the Grange of Chicago on last Thanksgiving day than Jim Thorpe of the New York Glants and Rock Island Pros was the Thorpe of Carlisle fame. Grange was worn, battered, splintered and torn—and showed it—even to the lines in his face. Frankly I am sorry that I did not see the real "Reel" for I should have seen it for him in form and doing the things that made him famous at Illinois. I understand that Grange is to play against "ink" Williams whom I consider the greatest end in professional circles. They say it is a great round end and if he gets past Williams I shall gladly concede that he is of immeasurable strength and without peer at this particular game. But understand me well on this point. If he fails I shall not for a long time believe there are a number of circumstances which might prohibit his getting around Williams' feet. But my point is Williams is the one man in football who refuses to be boxed and if Grange gets past him I shall not be that interference made it possible. --- Don't let the price deceive you. $3.50 is the cost of NEWARK Shoes, but you get style, quality and value out of all proportion to their price.

Instead "He ask for bread and was given a stone," has nothing on the experience of the experience of Eonon Baptist church, when he found that his grocer had given him a bottle of whiskey by mistake when he asked for ginger ale. The Rev. Mr. Payne, who is president of the Baptist preachers meeting, would not state the name of the grocer, but he knew that bootleg whiskey and urged the ministers present to take serious consideration of the prohibition evil. Sunday Movies Sunday movies were also given consideration by the ministers when a committee was formed to co-ordinate with ministers of other denominations in stopping these shows. This was declared to be a more urgent evil than prohibition. Plans were made for holding a memorial service April 11 for the Revs. A. B. Callis and R. W.

Cook. During the school year 1923-1925 total expenses in the colored school amounted to $558.216 with an enrolment of 20,710 in the counties. In the county of New York, a same period was $5,821.79 with an enrolment of 322,926. White children are four times the number of colored, but have eleven times as much expenditure. City Rate Better Reports of expenditures in Baltimore City shows a more equitable proportionment of funds. For the colored schools the city spent last school year $1,631,333, making the enrollment $1,496,000, taking the average per capita expenditure of $55.83. There was spent on white children in the city $6,046,687 and with an enrollment of $8,635, makes a per capita cost of $85.20. This report also shows in the county the capital outlay in the colored schools of $119,323 while in the white schools the capital outlay was $2,387,613. Trained Teachers A study of the teachers in the county schools shows a constant increase in training, of the 755 teachers in the system 272 attended summers, of the 755 teachers were 234 teachers, or 41.3 per cent who had more than five years' teaching experience. Of the 727 teachers in the eleventh grade schools 333 hold first grade certificates; 219 second grade, 80 third grade, 39 of the 49 high school teachers in the counties have had regular college training.

WAR VETERAN HAS SILVER LINED NOSE Melvin Sanders, Hero Of Two Wars Survives Remarkable Surgical Feat HAS PERPETUAL SMILE AND JOVIAL SPIRIT No Condition Which Could Not Be Worse, He Tells Reporter Douglass High Students In Play Breathtaking through a silver tube imbedded in his nasal cavity, he reported both of his checks, with one eye completely blinded by a glass. Colloh street, is still a happy and hopeful man, according to the story of his life as told to the AMERICAN reporter this week. World War Veteran Government surgeons - in eight hospitals in this country and France, and in Germany, together after he had been wounded almost beyond recognition in the World War. He is recognized as an extra factor in reconstructive surgery. Sanders was born in Smithfield, S. c. thirty-two years ago. In 1912 he enlisted in the army and was sent to the Mexican border with his family. He transferred to eight year National Guard Company, 368th Division, and sent over sea during the early stage of America's part in World War II. Sanders saw actual service in seven battles before he was wounded at Champlain, where a bullet plowed its way through his body. He was proof of his mouth and nose. It was necessary for him to undergo eight different operations. At Hampstown Although he has been given a generous allowance by the U. S. Government, he went to Hampton Institute when the war was over and became a professional cook, and gave up to dip to lack of sight. With his wife, and a son, Molvin, Jr., he has been living quietly in his McCulloh street apartment. They are members of the A. M. E. Zion Church in summing up his philosophy of his life. Mr. Sanders said, "There is nothing so bad that it could not be worse. I have nothing to worry about. The government takes care of us, and my only ambition now is to set down in a little home of my own in Baltimore." DR. HUGHES REMOVES NAIL BABY SWALLOWED DR.

Whenever a course of study is to be modified to meet the special needs of colored pupils, or whenever a course of study is to be approved, colored schools, a committee of colored members of the teaching force is called into conference. When the curricula of the Junior High Schools for colored pupils were formulated in 1925, the principals of the two schools concerned this conference upon this subject. This conference was held by the Board of School Commissioners." Attucks Hotel Hotel arrivals were: Mr. and Mrs. John Matthews, Cleveland; M. Solomon. Benedict, Md.; Mr. and his wife; F. Archibald; F.

BIRTH RATE HIGHER THAN AMONG WHITES Death Rate Higher Too, Washington Has Similar Conditions While the birth rate among Negroes is higher than that among whites this advantage is insufficient death rate among the babies born to colored mothers. Take a glance at the accompanying chart. There we have graphically displayed the deaths of babies under one year of age per one thousand births for white and coloured babies the rate for both races fell lower in 1928 than it was in the/preceding year but the colored infantile rate remained twice that during the 1928 the births of 14,555 white babies were recorded in the Health Department files. In that same year 3,381 colored babies upon the light of day to the city. Of the white babies born 592 or 65.1 per cent failed to complete one year of life and of the colored children of the same race, foretore their first birthday. In other words, the colored population, which is approximately one, sixth as large as the white population, had almost one-fourth as many new arrivals as the white population, this one-sixth of the population lost nearly one-half as many of its new members as was the case with the whites. One out of each eight children to colored mothers in this year falls to complete its first year of life. Samo Number in 1924 The factors responsible for the early demise of these 402 colored infants in 1025 have not yet been tabulated by the Health Department, and that were responsible for the deaths in 1294. Oddly enough exactly the same number of colored babies died here in 1294 as in 1295. The reduced rate last year was the greatest number of births in 1295. For 1294 we find that premature birth, diarrhoea and eneritis, pneumonia, and congenital malformations were the causes of these little ones missing. Washington and Baltimore As compared with other cities in the registration area of the United States which have at least one-tenth of the older men who did make a bad showing according to the latest figures available, those of 1922. In that year the infant deaths for colored per cent of the population area was 127. Baltimore in 1922 had a rate of 134. Kansas City, Kansas, had 172; Norfolk, Va., 144; Richmond Va., 112; Washington, D.C., 100; more than 144; Louisville, Ky., 176; and Indianapolis, Ind., 13. Infantile death rates are always carefully studied by those interested in the first year of life. While children born will survive is determined by many factors, some of which go far back before the day of birth. The health of the parent is important, and a tremendous factor. While perhaps no disease but syphilis can be directly transmitted to the child it may inherit a weakness the disease which the parent has contracted years before birth. Sanitary Conditions It has been demonstrated time and again that raising the general sanitary condition of the districts will lower the infantile death rates. Communities in which intensive work along general health lines has been undertaken in their lower immediate response in their lower immediate death under the one year age. Prenatal Care Prenatal care must be taken to the colored mother if we hope to reduce this appalling rate locally. Two lives are at stake whenever a mother is to be ushered into the world. An early physical examination, the careful practice of personal habits of hygiene and cleanliness, is as essential before the baby is born as afterwards. Expectant mothers should consult a competent physician and follow his advice as to the best means of caring for themselves and for the life of the infant.

WOMEN'S CLUBS HERE HAVE LONG RECORDS Some Organizations Started Quarter Of Century Ago Still Active COVER ALL FIELDS OF COMMUNITY LIFE Charity, Social Welfare, Sci- The spirit of attainment has been kept active in those whose formal school days have ended and they have been able to participate in the after-growing activities of clubs. The personal contacts obtained, the exchange of ideas, the study of community and world problems keeps the mind active andays the basks of right opinions and conclusions. During the past 25 years a number of organizations have come into being and have added to their charitable and social feature definite literary programs. The Harvard Alliance One of the oldest is the Missionary Alliance of the minister's wives of Baltimore and vicinity of the A. M. E. Church. This group of about 25 women is rounding out about 25 years of delightful fellowship. Besides a definite amount of charitable work it discusses worthwhile toples and hears addresses by prominent people. Mrs. Clara Young Harris is the present presiding of On February 15, 1906, the Eva Jenifer club was organized and named or designated a resident of Baltimore. The object was to establish a house in which the girls of the poorer district could gather and be instructed in the ways of usefulness for daily living. The eighteen women who formed the original membership held their first meetings in Piney Creek and grew the club of work and growth the club was able to occupy its own home at 1348 Calhoun street. Mrs. Maria Marshall is the president of the organiza- The Minerva Art and Embroidery Club was formed by a group of ten young women in the fall of 1909. During its 17 years of existence it has assisted such organizations as the Federated Charities, Provident Hospital and the Day Nursery, and through speakers presented topics for study and discussion on vital subjects. Mrs. Norma Williams Marshall is president of the club. Women's Civic League The Women's Cooperative Civic League is another organization of women which by the diversity of its program of civic work affords a healthy growth to its membership and fosters the women at large a stimulating atmosphere for endeavor. Its gift to our community of the first Luncheon Conference and of the Flower Mart have been sign posts for others to follow. Thirteen years of consecutive work mark its progress. Mrs. Sarah Collins Fernandls is president of the League. The Scribblers though only five years old is none the less interesting from the fact that it was organized along unique line. It is purposeful, in nature, its for-nightly meetings. This is done by direct criticism and helpful suggestions made upon outline stories and articles that are brought in for consideration. As a result, the literary work of some of the members has already appeared in various magazines, notably, "Opportunity" and the "Atlantic Monthly." The present scribe of the club is Miss Margaret Williams. Frazier Case Is Under 'Avisement In the last two issues of the AF-RO-AMERICAN, your columns carried certain articles purporting to give a true account of some of the proceedings of the Florida Frazier against her husband, Atty. Clark S. Frazier. In both articles it was stated that Judge Stein, before whom the case was tried, ruled that Mrs. Frazier was justified in shooting her husband. Those statements were not as yet ruled on any of the issues presented at the trial of the case. The case is being held under advisement, and until the Judge rules on the questions presented I do not think it quite right to state as a fact what has not been decided. As I was counsel for Mr. Frazier in the proceedings, I am writing this letter so that it may correct any erroneous opinion that might have been formed in the minds of the readers, and in justice to Mr. Frazier. Mr. and Mrs. Llewellyn Wilson will soon move into their beautiful new bungalow in Morgan Park. Mrs. Mary Robinson of Philadelphia, will the week end visiting her sister, Mrs. Jane Hucles, 2318 Drudd Hill avenue. 0 SCRIBBLERS CLUB Mrs. Lillian A.

E. B. DuBois, has now attained twenty active members. It meets monthly at the homes of its members.

I would get nauseated. I would have dizziness and couldn't work." "I would take pills until I was worn out with them. I didn't seem to care. My bovines would act a couple or three times, then I would be very constipated. "A neighbor told me of Black-Draught and I began its use. I never have found so much relief as it gave me. I would not-be without it for anything. I never have my whole system and make me feel like new. I would take a few doses—get rid of the bite and have my usual clear skin."

Thoughts Of The Founder The Negro newspaper has not only opened up avenues for young men and women as correspondents and local reporters, but is opening up a wide field for open会议室 and other workers along the line of the 4th estate. It is producing a large number of independent newspapers in new fields trained in the offices of Negro journals have secured positions and are doing good work on some of the largest metropolitan dailies. Justice? The second annual report of Mr. Herbert R. O'Connor, states attorney for Baltimore City, came from the press last week in the court this year. N. O. Connor reports 3484 cases disposed of in the court this year. 2,005 white and 1479 colored, counting the number of acquittals, and states nearly all the cases filed by the state's attorney were colored. The above cases and in addition 158 coroner's inquests were handled by Mr. O'Connor and a staff of nine assistants, all of them of Mr. O'Connor. The coroner's administration was conceived by His Honor, Mr. Stump and by three grand juries of last year for the promptness and efficiency, which the office of state's attorney is certain to be the high mark for the successors to shoot at. However, it emphasizes again the fact that with the exception of an occasional juryman, coloured people are only victims of the criminal system, taxpayers contribute to its maintenance. We share otherwise. Two thousand police, coroners, coroner's juries, judges, states attorneys, police, judges, states attorneys, municipality of justice in Baltimore, not to mention hundreds of other employees in minor capacities in police, city courts and municipality. For all of these posts the first and most important identification is that they are from the 1980s. If the U. S. Veterans' Hospital at Tusteegee, Albumna were a private institution, Mr. Baldwin, chief engineer, have been fired long ago. Mr. Jones filed charges against Major Ward, head of the hospital. The charges were not sustained. The Bureau控罚. He design. We refused and thus political influence has managed thru a long period to hold on to his job. The fact that Mr. John Risher, the owner of the office of Assistant U. S. Attorney General. Perry W. Howard, is acting in some capacity as counsel and adviser to Mr. Jones has led to the recount of the Jones is backed by Mr. Howard himself. If this it be true, and we hope it isn't. Mr. Howard is making a blunder equal to his acceptance. The Company is at a large salary while still doing government work. The government sent Mr. Jones to Tuskegee to run the power plant, not to run the hospital. In a private hospital he would either get along with his chief or get out. The Veterans' Bureau ought to private enterprises into the handling of the situation at Tuskegee. Cheltenham Cheltenham, the house of reformation for colored boys in the city, spoke the spotlight again after a short respite. This time it is because its secretary, Mr. Titus, is the president, Mrs. Edwin Jones, of Philadelphia, to see or communicate with her brother committed there by order of Baltimore City courts several times. The solution of this case is simple enough. Mrs Jones has only to apply to the local attorney through any local attorney and Cheltenham authorities will be compelled to permit her to take a single case in which habeas corpus has been asked courts have also returned boys, boys to their parents and guardians when they are sentenced. The s lution of the whole Cheltenham problem is not so easy. The institution is dominated by natives of Prince Georges County, who themselves and did not listen to the Mayor's committee last year which recommended certain changes. As the result, boys there are miserably treated, treated with it. At a time when work like convicts to work on neighboring plantations. If there is any place worse than Cheltenham for a idle, we do not know of it. Here is a matter for the Grand Jury to be requested to withhold its appropriation to, Cheltenham, until its trustees reform it. The Virginia state senate before adjournment declined to consider the race integrity bill by a vote of 70 to 20, and thus a measure which has caused more debate than any other in recent years passed into the discard. One senator said the bill was designed to protect whites and would prevent any further mixing of the races. Another senator on the majority side who opposed the bill said no number of the senate could tell him why the bill was so important. Persons desiring to marry would be guilty of a felony, if their ancestors were registered as mixed. All of the race agitation in Virginia has been handled by the gerrymandering Mr. Joe Powell, and Mr. Ernest S. Cox, who founded what is known as an Anglo-Saxon club designed to keep every race pure and prevent intermixing by race-mixing. The segregation in public places law, which even though it affects churches as well as the theaters was passed by both branches of the legislature to it as a great victory because it would affect Hampton Institute. Now comes the Virginia senate and turns down Cox and Powell's measure—the race integrity bill. It would require 101 per cent crusaders, but they have no one to blame but themselves. Their own investigations in the history of prominent Virginia families years Negroes and whites had mixed to such a startling degree that three presidents, two governors, half a dozen bishops, generals, congressmen and the like had some colored blood. That settled it. Messrs. Cox and Powell with the aid of their "vital bones" going along, had indeed found and shown skeletons. In some of Virginia's most exclusive families. Nobody felt safe. Nobody knew who was going to be. Nobody knew their grandmother had a child by one of his slave girls, and that this half breed was regularly adopted, becoming the great grandmother of the family. And today wont sit beside a Negro. Virginia isn't ready yet, to say how white a person must be to be classed as a nortic and anglo-saxon with dynamic, and we predict if Mr. John Powell and Mr. Ernest Cox do not soon turn their investigations and direct directions that they are going find Virginia climats 'is not at all healthy and maybe they will be ridden out of town on a rail on the coast.' Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. Delegates of the Colored Republican Conference who visited the White House last Tuesday to tell President Coolidge that they bailed the G. O. P. for the failure to enact anti-lynching legislation or to appoint Negroes to office are barking up the wrong tree. The President's statement that he personally favored anti-lynching legislation can hardly be taken to mean that he will use his official influence to have the Dyer-Mckinley Bill passed. Mr. Coolidge previously told newspapermen that this bill was not an ad-hoc measure to this promise made to the delegates that a colored man will be appointed as minister to Liberia, should it develop that Solomon Porceri chief executive would only be following a well established precedent. So all that the colored delegation said is undoubtedly true. The party platform has denounced the medial measures and has failed to keep those promises. When a candidate rides into office with the aid of Negro or African brother when the offices are being handed out. This has not been done. The Colored Republican Conference has a right to be a little pewed at the party of their fathers which thus leaves But the fight is, not at Capitol Hill. The scene of battle is back home in the several communities whence the delegates halted. The real job is not to administer a vote, but an upuncture the next time the ballot boxes are opened. Many hundred thousand Negro voters have moved into the North in the gass few years earlier in the city, are counted. If the Colored Republican Conference will leave the Republican out of its name and lead its votes away from all office seekers, regardless of party, the Negro party deal they may save themselves the trouble of drawing up resolutions blaming the G. O. P. and devote to other uses the time and trainfare in presenting it in Washington. The present incumbent of the White House is often referred to as a master politician. Politicians dance to but one tune and that is the sound of votes being deposited in the ballot box. The must-ask asked in the ballot box. The must-ask asked in the vote of other disgruntled groups would cause any office seeker to do a political Charleston. While our dictionary defines a library as simply "a collection of books for the public to be chandiseed," we have begun to look upon our public libraries as more than a collection of books or the place where such a collection is kept and maintained. We have also become a part of the community's life. It is of course, a reservoir of knowledge upon which the community may acquire new books and frequent new sellers are available there upon demand. But having these books available is but a small part of the library's task. We are encouraged to use its resources; love for literature and the arts is to be stimulated by exhibits; study classes; in other ways, the people come out to the library. The library must have definite contact in the, community. It must be linked up with the lives of the people it seeks to serve. A library expert is now making a survey of the Enoch Pratt Free Library system in this city. We commend to his careful consideration of the workers on the force of the Pitcher Street Branch. A trained worker stationed there who could get out into the schools, churches, clubs of the community, would be interested in the force would be a great asset. Such a connecting link between the institution and the community is being sought, could not help us, the community of our local library system. "What is the outstanding need among Negroes in Baltimore," is the question asked this week of "Secretary Booker of the Y. M. C. A. by Interracial Commission," an Interracial Commission is planning to ask the same question in relation to the Negro of the entire State. Mr. Booker, who is to prepare a paper on the subject has passed away since time. People are colored community. The replies have been varied. "Outstanding leadership," "a hospital," "representation on municipal boards," "a widening time frame," are since needs. If a Negro is sick he can get medical care. If it is an education he craves the facilities are at hand. There are churches to serve his religious needs and the Negro has a leisure time. The outstanding need is a fairer industrial opportunity. With a wider industrial horizon and consequent higher wages the Negro will provide for himself and his children a better home, a cleaner environment, better education and recreation. give him a more secure economic position and the list of "needs" tabulated by the Y. M. C. A. secretaries of the Interracial Commission will indeed be small. Provident Provident Hospital, Baltimore's pride in former years, has been overtaken by evil days. Founders sacrificed to perpetuate it must turn over if their graves as they see it now take on a white surgeon-in-chief and white assisting doctors and nurses for some of the operations. If the medical association is back of the move, it is aiming a blow at its own professional prestige which is at the same time an ad-hoc effort. Even those physicians who are not a party to it will suffer the ill effects. St. Louis, Kansas City, Philadelphia, Chicago, Tuskegee, Washington Baltimore have hospitals staffed entirely by Negro doctors and nurses. Has Baltimore physicians less qualifications than these? Certainly not. The foot that punctured Mr. Harvey Brown, Dr. S. B. Hughes, Dr. S. H. McCard and others like them built up a reputation for service refutes any such charge. If the hospital less got to the hospital it no longer commands the services of the city's most experienced and efficient practitioners, then it is time either to close its doors or secure the services of the surgical surgeons, who can fill the bill. Prohibition (From N. Y. Times) Why is Congress is willing to appropriate $100,000,000 to enforce the 18th amendment and not ten cents to support the fourteenth and more sacred than the other? As for the South being in favor of prohibition, the only way the South is in favor of it is to keep liquor available to everyone, not drink, its pescapian, every gentleman and lady in the South drinks. A few poor Buckras and Baptists of comedy, not the state of South Carolina, every gentleman and lady in the South drinks. A few poor Buckras and Baptists of comedy, not the state of South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Virginia, Mississippi, Tennessee, Louisiana; Kentucky and North Carolina. The sign might be as much because of the white people should see it. I would be compelled to depart from here. They are as kind and equitable as any other section of the South but they are in any section of the state with abhorrence of a Negro asserting his individuality and thereby, expressing himself in the public press. HOOSIT? (By Robert P. Edwards, A. N. P.) 44—He was the pioneer missionary and a great explorer in Africa; consequently, he was thoroughly acquainted with the slave trade in all its horrors, which made him an ardent abolitionist. He died in Africa in 1873; and today all that is mortal of him lies in the hallowed Westminster Abbey, with Britain's glorious dead, and inscribed upon his tomb are these, his last words: "All I can add in my solitude is: May heaven's rich blessing come down on everyone, American, English, or Turk, who will help to heal this open sore of the world—the slave trade." HOOSIT. Answer to Hoosit? 42—Jonathan PERRY HOWARD JOBS BUSBY NEWS ITEM—Congressman Busby of Mississippi, protests against Perry Howard handling all G. O. P. patronage Here. DAY BY DAY WITH WILLIAM N. JONES Nations of the world met at Geneva and failed temporarily to per-fect the organization of a world court. Sad news for those desiring world peace and growing unity and good will between races on the earth, but good news for those who reap the harvest of profits from war. The world LAW, AND ORDER just as we have law and order in local communities, does not please some people. It does not please Arthur Brisbane and the Hearst organization of newspapers. It does not please men and women with racial hatred because in a world tribunal of justice JUSTICE (INSTEAD OF MIGHT MAKE RULES) FOR YOUNG MEN OUT TO FIGHT OF WEAKER GROUPS ARE INVOLVED. It does not please the war lords of the nations who sit comfortably in shrivel chairs in peace houses. YOUNG MEN OUT TO FIGHT AND DIE FOR THIER WAR TIMES. The picture of impending wars, carnage and human destruction is one of the necessary cogs which keep their wheels and saliva. If Negro statemanship in this country is wise it will use what influence it can not only to help bring about the end of a league of untangling alliances and world court, but will help get American to become an integral part of it. "Keep out of entangling alliances" is not possible or entangling alliances when the present development of world spark set the world or fire in 1914. But the world does when its flames swept to our part of the world. Just as the SUPREME COURT in this country has been the outstanding battleground in this country, a world tribunal where abstract justice would have to establish itself in sheer self defense against the coming struggle of races involving our groups throughout the world. Colonial nations, such as England, of course have a vital interest in the establishment of a world court. For centuries the British have taken a force in the advance hordes of men by military force. In India, Africa and other parts of the world, they loyt tribute by the dominance of the British in battle line." But as these hordes of men learn more and more the use of modern implements of war, the English, as well as some other European nations, favored MORE AND MORE OTHER MEANS OF SETTLING AFFAIRS. Europe opened its eyes when the Ruffs chased migrants from Spain and offered serious resistance to France. Incidents like this hasten the world court idea. Even Liberal would have an effective say in establishing before a new nation where nations settle their disputes BY ESTABLISHED AND UNBENDING LAWS. The editor of the Chicago Whip says it would be a. foolish thing to hire a woman with labor organizations and labor unions to run an end to capital. If the editor of the Whip means to say that Negroes should not joke in unlons and organizations which seek to better the condition of labor group, to which the masses of the race belong seems to me that he is thinking along strange lines. There of course can be no complete destruction of capital without a consequent destruction of labor. No one wants to see capital destroyed as such. What the average laborer wants is to see capital take its rightful place in the industries of the country. It's like labor, is one of the factors in modern industry: BUT CAPITAL NEED NOT ALWAYS EXPECT THE LIONS SHARE. Jim Jones, Tom Brown and Bill Smith for instance, decided to produce a crop. Jim Jones has the money to buy implements and land, while Tom Brown and Bill Smith have the skill and muscle to produce the crop. When the year is over they have $5000 to divide as a result of their See The Light Yes. We Always Need Capital Outside Looking In joint arrangement. See here, says Jim Jones, capitalist, will take $1,450 because I furnished the money, but the only thing you do is WORK and build. In many cases that CAPITAL which Jim Jones is taken from savings banks supported by the Browns and Bill Smith shares. Some of it is city, state and governments funds which Tom Brown and Bill Smith pay in TAXES, placed in private banks. This explains why in the Pulitzer prize for instance, some men draw $100, .00 each year while some draw $1000. This explains why some men in some large capitalized banks in Harvey K. Owens for instance, are able to take out large profits to squander in riotous living, while the poor men in mills to produce it have barley enough to pay house rent and grocery bills. Yes, we shall always have capital, but the man who believes as that "Wealth controls the destiny of America. It controls it for today and from a logical deduction will control it tomorrow" had better mankind on this old world of ours. They once said the same thing when Nero looked on and glanced in power. Rome was burning. Kafka was writing. They said it when emperors inherited life and death powers over nations of human beings, but kings and queens have been swept into the onward march of democracy. The kind of capital we have Now, entrenched with the organized greed, special privileges, corrupt and unjusticial capital, false and scilish leaders, MUST ALSO PASS. It stands in the way of the equilization of human operation. Organized to day keeps the Negro out of all but mental labor because it serves capital's interest. In order that there may be great wealth there must be great whatever factor in this world there is which stands in the way of complete and unbridled freedom and opportunity of any group or race must go. The Easter Spirit In This Year 1926 Little Fannie Hill, age 12. lives on Lafayette avenue. She approaches Easter, observing the lenten season by refraining from eating candies. She told this writer one day this week, that she could dance the Charleston, go to the movies, eat all that NOT EAT CANDY. She could NOT EAT CANDY. Little Fannie Hill is in earnest. She has honestly imbibed the religion of her associates. We are astonished to see him in religious fervor; the deluded Indian fanic pricks himself, to death with sharp, instruments to do persecution, to sacrifice the sacred shrines. But when the anniversary of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ comes, we ceremoniously hy aside some trifling pleasure, or merely ourselves believe we are His followers. In this busy world we may not have time to follow His injunction to do ourselves, we do ourselves"; but Easter always brings 'us back to the sacred aspects of the life of the Christ—The Supreme Sacrifice. A memorial comes out by churches that children are to play a larger part this year in the easter program is heartwarming; it has seemed the most inappropriate for "rally" days. Mencken (From Norfolk, Va., Landmark) H. L. M. has kicked over the traces again; enzolting as he jumped. In the curse of the book, the volume of essays edited by Alain Locke under the title of "The New Negro." The book Mencken calls "a phenomenon immense in sense and three or four figures prominent. in contemporary southern letters as well as the editors of various southern newspapers, selling that the book is an equal number of By RALPH MATTHWS This issue of the AFRO is edited by the class in Journalism. The editor has asked us to give the law down on this new staff so if you tune in for a few paragraphs we'll start broadcasting. The adjoining photo is that of Mr. Awalel Oswald who is well on political career he held a position as street cleaner for many years. Mister Oswald will edit the children's page. Don't miss his bedtime stories giving advice on what to feed the baby. Sweet Alice Bombot, who is dead and very dumb, will give to AFRO readers accurate accounts of the life of the baby factory auditorium Monday night. The church page will be edited by Fritzious Kaufe who won the Charleston contest at the Royal Theatre recently. One of the outstanding features of the church page this week will be a sermon on the life of the baby factory they may be gathered after many days" by the Rev. Abraham Hoss church. Fiction lovers will be known to know that the first installment of that thrilling serial "Worn Out Soils" by Reginald Shoemaker, the man who will not appear in this issue. Neither will the subsequent installments. Ambitious young men will miss the treat of their lives if they failed to read the business page this week. A life story of Mr. Stationhouse Flatfoot, financial wizard, photo editor below, will include hope in heart of every struggling young man. Mr. Flatfoot, in a ten thousand-sand interview to reveal the secret of how he has amassed a fortune in revolutions. In his utility to young men he says "be honest and never stoop to graft." Mr. Flatfoot is still a policeman. Horation Listerine McToothbrush will write the stirring editorials this week. All vile and evil will be chased to its hair under the merciless lashing from his powerful pen. Mr. McToothbrush is gifted with a collection of the most beautiful instances if he fell overboard he would not tell "help!" He would say "Immediate Assistance required." The telegraph editor is a slow he is still trying to get an exclusive account of the Johnstown Flood. Miss Ueda Biscot will edit the sports page this week. Under the section devoted to baseball will be given the机会 The attention of football and boxing fans is especially called to the article on "How to make whipped cream without a whip." If you do not enjoy reading the contributions in this issue do not throw the paper away. It will come out in the back of the rubbers when it looks like rain. Or if you buy enough of them they can be tied in a neat bundle and sold for two cents a pound. The Negroes represented in this volume, "the contrast is pathetic. The Africans are men of sense learning and good bearing; the Caucasians are simple, round and fury, signifying nothing." Here, we suggest, is new matter for those who take Menkene seriously—a new pronunciamento destined for the now famous Sahara essay. It's worth looking into just to see whether your abilities are in good working or Kelly Miller Says In public utterances greater courtesy and great The race is suffering eyes of white men. In cat wholesale scandal, we mere weight of our own debase It is a safe rule to for the white man something Negro be careful before hurt him. In public utterances we need greater tolerance, greater courtesy and greater restraint. The race is suffering incalculable damage in the eyes of white men. In catering to his prejudgment by wholesale scandal, we merely add to the already heavy weight of our own debasement. It is a safe rule to follow. If you cannot say to the white man something that will help your fellow Negro be careful before saying anything that will hurt him. Shallow Minds And Mud Slinging Mud slinging is the game of the shallow mind. The only qualification needed is that you must be careful abandon. It is the ever handy tool of the shallow mind controversialists. It is so much easier to abuse your opponent, than to controvert his argument. Too sad to say, abuse is the ready resort of the Nengro when he takes them, which they apply ugly epithets and oppurpicious asperSIONs is indeed amazing. This is because they feel little harm. They are not for their wild, and unpleasant abuse. Rarely will the offended party resort to the process of dissolution, the process is too complicate and involved. Personal accountability and dispensation of civilized society. In the North the offended party is disposed to resort to the law for protection against vile abuse when it cannot be ignored by a dignified sheriff who immediately resents reflection or insult by personal physical force. So far as I can recall every personal encounter that has taken place on the floors of Congress originated in the temper of some Southern Congressman or Sen- The late Senator Tillman, in justification of his assault upon his colleague from his own State, declared that in his first blow, it may be that the general progress of society has passed the time when personal chastisement is necessary to the entrenchment of good manners, and that many of our own colored controversialists do not seem to be mindful of the restraints of culture and good manners. Vile Epithets Whenever an issue arises, the one more than an ant to characterize his opponent as a coward, a traitor or a scaphon. No name is sacred; no reputation, however exalted, is shielded from the thunder that is irresponsible upstart fits to apply. Bishops on the bench, high officials in public office, the doctor, the criminal, the thunder does not secure an actual or moral infirmity. The whites have learned by bitter experience the fatality of unwarranted abuse. The whites have learned by bitter experience the fatality of unwarranted abuse. The whites have learned by popular opinion to be popular by their敌ent. We used to hear of murdling in our national campaign. Many will recall the presidential campaign by his respective parties. Personal charges were matched by the two opposing parties to the extent that the public became utterly disgusted. But of late years both of the old parties have placed personal abuse under the ban. The candidate must rely upon the discussion of the issues, most superior skill in blackguardism. Roosevelt And Wilson Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson have divided the public mind that has no two men in mind. The two presidents have a body of considerable literature sufficient to fill libraries. And yet outside of a few outlawed publications, there is to be found a body of courageous abuse which was heaped upon the heads of public men in the earlier generations. In the district of Columbia is typical of the general result of this vituperative policy. This community is almost always divided between the schools constitute the only feature of public affairs that appeals to the interest and passion of the average colored mind. Wholesale Abuse In one of these violent issues several years ago, each side would go to the school authorities and abuse their contestants for every reason to be found in school uniform. A high school official at one time stated that if he were disposed to believe the asperptions which rival conspiracy would seriously entrain the reflections which rival claimants to political leadership heap the one upon the other, he would be in pronouncing—"plague on all your houses." Crafty Politicians The Northern group accuse the Southern group. The advocates of one individual denounce that the other is accused of treason, rascal, trickster and self-seeker. The crafty political leader hems all, and concludes that the whole bunch is there is no political health n them. If the status of our political leadership is now at the minimum of influence, we must all but universal tendency to indulge in whole sale denunciation and abuse those who for the time being and in the time in hand may be oppositely aligned. Booker T. Washington Who does not recall the raging controversy between the advocates of higher and industrial education which led to a dig up that literature to-day would make the intelligent Negro ashamed of his manners. The abuse heaped upon the head of Boer War veterans in the retrospect. In turn his upholders and defenders returned the vultuperative retort in measure pressed down and running over. To-day, we speak of radical and conservative Negroes. The one calls his helpers to work the hands, unhanded, of a stable stab Vile Epithets Wholesale Abuse Crafty Politicians ity. The other side pitors that—'you are cowards, and craven and crafty self-seekers.' Neither seems to take the time and patience to examine into the just attitude and motive of his opponent. An ugly epithet is deemed more effective as it is certainly more intellectually economical. Weakening Reputation The white mind is generally disposed to believe whatever one Negro may say is derogatory of another. He listens to both and humors each to think that he has scored against his rival. But each is but weakening the reputation of his race, and every member thereof. So far has his self debasing process gone that the white man picks out some likely and likable Negro and places upon him the stamp of his personal approval and sets him up to be the leader among the rest. He does not believe that a noble and worthy as white men are noble and worthy, but merely as the best that can be secured out of the bunch which is generally worthless. The white man is not a leader of the class in this principle until we learn to cease this folly of wholesale denunciation and abuse. Insurance Statesmanship We are now passing through the same stage that the insurance business experienced in the early years of its establishment, praised its own policy and practice, and low rated every other rival company. Insurance agents were instructed to expose the weak points of every other company except the one which he was paid to exploit. As result the public soon began to lose confidence in all insurances as being fraudulent and the agent of one company leave off abusing its rival than the rival agent rang the bell and returned the abuse with information. But when insurance statesmanship found that public confidence was weakening and was undermining the entire fabric of insurance, insurers were instructed not to run down any insurance company, but in a general way to extol all insurance; at the same time, the critical claims of his own enterprise. Change Of Policy Upon this change of policy, the public soon regained confidence in the insurance business as a whole. The new good sportmanship as well as good business to deal generously in praise and sparingly in incense of your rivals is all but heart rending to find that when one colored man is picked out for preferment that members of the community have the power that be and deluge them with allied facts and arguments to show his unworthiness. More, frequently than not these presentations, like Poo's little meaning, little relevance bear. If all of our faults and imperfections were so down and condensed by the insults we are facing, We are never justified in holding up to public gaze the faults and imperfections of our fellow men unless some good good will be conceived thereby. Greater Tolerance It is easy to praise one's friends and abuse one's enemies; or in other words, to comment those whom we like and condeneth those whom we dislike. In much of our work we note an over indulgence in these contrasted modes of procedure. Our friends are all good, and our enemies all bad. The use of adjectives and expletives is indulged in a rhetorical pastime. They are poured out as profusely and as undiliminately as we scatter salt and pepper. We are pounding our teeth. I am pleading for greater tolerance, greater courtesy and greater restraint. The race is suffering incalculable damage in the eyes of white men, and the race is present in the lives of less easily, anything that might be detrimental to the nobility of any Negro. In catering to his prejudice, we must be prudent. We must be less facile to add to the already heavy weight of our own basement. It is a safe rule to follow: If you can handle the white man something that will help you gro, be careful before-saying anything that will hurt him. AFRO HISTORY March 29, 1902—Kelly Miller addressed the Maryland State Teachers Association at Morgan College. March 30, 1907—Major John R. Lynch, paymaster in the army, was transferred to the Philippines to serve with the colored troops who had been sent there for service. Colored cavalrymen were also sent to West Point to serve as a detachment in care of cadets' mounts. March 30, 1812—Mutiny which broke out on the Hattien gunboat Ferrier, lying in Charleston (South Carolina) harbor was settled. The crew was hired by the Navy, and the captain, Delphina, who agreed to outfit and navigate the vessel. An agreement, was made between the Hattien Minister, Senior Menos and Acting Secretary of State, Huntingdon Wilson, that warded off the mutiny temporarily. March 31, 1917—The First Separate Company, Maryland National Guard, was recruited up to its peace strength, and had on its waiting list the names of 30 who wanted to enlist. Captain Spencer (who has since been succeeded by the then-commander captain in the Hattien National Guard). Officers were of the opinion that an entire colored regiment could be raised in the city if necessary.

"My mother had taken Cardul and she thought it would do me good, so she told me to take it. My husband got me a bottle and I began on it. I began to improve at once. It was such a help that I continued it until after the baby's birth. "I took eight bottles and I can certainly say that it helped me. It is a fine tonic. It built me up and seemed to strengthen me. I grew less nervous and began to sleep better. "I can certainly recommend Cardul to expectant mothers, for it is so gentle and every way I felt better after taking it and I think it is a splendid medicine."

Hints To The Busy Mother Hints To The Busy Mother By L. G. CAMPER The busy mother will find her work loss burdensome, more time for recreation and education it she will lose in her job, and more time for any business organization. It is not the actual labor which breaks health and spirit as much as the time which fall pell mell upon the mother who has no definite system. The keynote of an effective systemization of old riding is the necessity of old riding is simplification, consider these points: First, a practical schedule of work is necessary. Your laundry, housecleaning, mending, should be given their time and training, and should be used under rigid adherence to this rule does away with the tendency to put one use and responsible for clogging the wheels of the household machine. Seconly. Simplify the home. Remove all furniture which has no real use. Ornaments and such paraphernalia has no place in the home. Furniture saves mother expense, work of caring for them and worry attendant upon their destruction by the children. Small breakable articles are patents which do not collapses.

It was so cold that the children were afraid to come out. Spring came, but the children did not know it. The birds and the animals wanted to see, the children, "Why don't the children come," they said. Some one ought to go and tell the spring has come," said the Bluebird. "My voice will frighten them," said the Bear. "And mine, too," said the Robin. The bird is gentle," said the Robin, "let him go." Robin "Let him go." The rabbit made some little baskets, and put some little violets, and the birds gave him a little spotted egg. When night came the Bunny went cropping down the street. Overhead he saw a little basket on each door step. Next morning when the children awoke, there were the pretty baskets. Oh Spring has come! Spring has come!" the children said. "Hurrah! Hurrah!" Since we have been finding Easter eggs and baskets on our door steps early Easter morning. In giving the following list of home remedies and first aid treatments it measures are to be undertaken only in an emergency pending the arrival of the doctor. Baby is ill, be sure to call promptly on the doctor for advice. Neglect of proper medical care is dangerous and is responsible for the death of many babies. Rest in bed so long as there is fever. Give less food and more water. Open the bowels freely with oil lavender. Give few drops of milk every few hours. Older children, spray nose and throat freely with oil spray or one-fourth teaspoon of salt one cup of soda and water. For complicated, persistent or repeated colds, improve hygiene to build up the child's resistance, and apply to skin for treatment. Consider surgery for adenoids and dissect tonsils.

But the wind is not always harmful. Indeed, the wind is a .great help when it dries our clothes, flies our kites and makes the bonts sail. Once a wind helped Frederick Douglas whine he was a boy, so that the great man of our race. One windy day in 1832, a boy about fifteen years old was hurrying up Lafayette street at eleven o'clock and the boy was coming home from work. As he walked the street he stole a glance every little while at the house. He did not stop to try to read them for he was a Negro slave boy and Negroes in those days were not allowed to read and write or to own Indeed, Frederick was lucky to have a master who allowed him to work away from home and earn the large sum of three dollars a week. Frederick was such a bright cheerful lad that his master and mistress were very fond of him. Indeed, his mistress had started to teach him to read, but his master had stopped her as he did not think Negroes ought to know how to read and write. He said they would become unruly. Frederick had learned his letters, however, and would try everywhere he saw them to say them over and over. He was not like some little boys and girls I know. He did not forget his lessons as soon as he had learned them. He was anxious to learn something. On this windy day as he hurried along pushing his hair out of his eyes and fighting the wind, a wonderful thing happened. A piece of newspaper came rushing down the street and wrapped itself around Frederick's leg. His heart leaped. Stooping to pull off the paper he looked around to see if any one was watching him, then he crushed the paper and put it into his bosom. You who have so many picture books and colored papers to look at that you tear them up, can hardly believe this I know, but it is true. Frederick reached home filled with excitement. He had a "Piece of Heart" to give as he had finished his home duties, he hurried up to his sitte room and JANE WRITES Tells Betty Social Gossip of Baltimore Mrs. Elizabeth Patterson, Nashville, N.C.

A few seeds planted during April and May will give a wealth of bloom all the summer. Take a little plot in your yard and declare to brighten it with flowers this summer. First, dig up the soil in the plot and plant it with half of soil. Place in the hole a good layer of well rotted manure. With the top soil mix some bone meal and place back in the plot. Finally on the top soil we are ready to plant, to tuck the little seeds into their nicely made beds. Small seeds should have just a little soil sprinkled over them, planted deeper. But planted too deep are sure to bring failure. After a few days the tiny seedlings will be peeping above the ground, and around the little plants will be all that's necessary. For this use a trowel about once a week. Many seedlings will be grown to large blooming plants in from five to six weeks. Some easily raised flowers are: Snapdragons, Petunias, Bachelor's Buttons, For-cet-me-nots, Colons, Clippies, Cosmos, African Daisies, Scarlet Roses, William's, Scarlet Sage and Verbenas.

Beutel Elliott at Sharon Baptist Church on last Sunday morning. "Those who come to church only as a means of booing their business or advancing their own selfish desires are no better than Belshazzar using the golden vessels of the church for a drunken-revelry," continued Rev. M. Elliott preaching from the subject: "Thou art weighted in the balance and found wanting." A congregation that filled the church heard the pastor tell the story of the Babybunian king and story of the modern desecrators of their God-given talents.

Lay Talk By Myrtle Cardin, Director Sharp Street Community House It is an established fact that a church in the Community is an asset to that particular neighborhood because of its influence on those persons living in the reach of, and attending services. We readily see the difference between two communities one of which does not have a church, and the other of which has. In spite of the more standard of either neighborhood the church does not have a sympathetic understanding among the people and therefore creates, interest in the neighborhood which has its good influence in the Community. The church is doing social work is a greater asset in view of the fact that their work is a tangible evidence of the parishioner's desire to do service for the community of which they are a part and therefore so definitely affected. Since the church is a model institution and stands for things worth while it is the duty then of the parishioner to use their interest itself to do work or to support the community. How much more profitable would it be if all churches in the Community would use the existing recreational and social service agencies in the community in order to solve the many problems arising. If a community is to put on a wholesome progressive program it is highly essential that every resource in the community be utilized to its fullest extent. Every church makes some effort to do desirable piece of social work which helps to improve the community. If there there was that comparative spirit between church and other social facilities in the community, the community would then profit just about 100 per cent more than by allowing each agency to glide along helplessly in the dark. It is first of all necessary that ministers are in hearty accord and sympathy with the work of the various agencies. Do you ask why? Because it is evidently known that any project in which we are not interested ourselves it is impossible to create the proper interest in some one use. I know of no other force so, effective as the minister in his pulpit. He has every opportunity to indicate interest, to encourage it, to encourage community, in his congregation; because the members of his church are voluntary. In more instances than not he is the man of their choice, their attendance is not compulsory and they are at liberty to say what they wish in the management of affairs. When a man has a following of group of two or three thousand of such members who have taken him as their leader they are usually willing to adopt any scheme, plan, or suggestion made by him believing him to be a person entirely interested in [PEOPLE]. Our leaders must more and more realize the importance of co-operation once it is the only means by which a race has ever succeeded; without this we would not far apart to be of real service to the community at large, and therefore fall down on what should be our highest ambition. 11 A.

Vocational Guidance New Vocational guidance is a new feature newly added to the work of the Junior and Senior High schools. It is a "systematic effort, based on knowledge of the occupations and on acquaintance with and study of the individual, to inform, or cooperate with him in choosing, preparing for, entering upon, or making progress in his occupation, will be the basis of the education of future senior classes, having had a complete course of training along this line, with those of the present class. Pastor Here Builds $5,000 Garages Application was filed last week with the Bureau of Building, by the Rev. J. G. Martin, for the erection of eleven private brick garages on the lot situated i the rear of 1302-04-06-08-10 north Calhoun street. The cost will be in the neighborhood of $5,000. Rev. Martin will be the owner and builder. These garages. If the application is granted, will be built wholly by college students. If all building undertakings, Rev. Martin who is a prominent minister of the A. M. E. Conference, is the pastor of Handy Memorial Church, Baker and Brae streets, and is one of the foremost exponents of 'the use of skilled race labor and artisans. He is himself a master craftsman, back layer and carpenter, personally supervise all of his work. Several years ago, when the Capital Cake Company was building its plant at the corner of Laureus and Woodyear streets, he was instrumental in having colored brick masonnies placed on the jobs. Finding that there were not enough in the city, he personally south of the city, bought his store properties located at 1202-04-06-08-10 north Calcutton street. 1402-04-06-10-03-05-07-09 Laureus street and a large brick garage. 1404 Laureus street, were built by colored labor throut and supervised by him. CITY "EXAMS" The following City Service examinations have been announced for April Bureau of Information, 190 W. Payette street. Mrs. Jas. H. Dennis James H. Dennis THE OLD RELIABLE CUT RATE UNDERTAKER Edward Keison, Mgr. BALTIMORE, MD. 1303 Presstman Street Phone, MAdison 3076 Scheme of Work: Mrs. Vivian Cook sketched interestingly the scheme of this work in the Junior High Schools over which she is International Director. More and girls are definitely and systematically introduced to the broad field of occupation, industrial and commercial, and professional. A number of occupations are studied from various viewpoints, such as importance of world-life, qualifications and training necessary, effects upon workers, and probable financial returns. The study of qualifications necessary to success in each occupation is a most important phase of the work. Here the pupils eyes are turned inward, upon himself. He is trained to self analysis, to rate himself for favorable and unfavorable qualities. He then uses this intelligent knowledge of line of work in which he has most chances of success. All this is done under wise, sympathetic, character-building supervision and direction. Since "for the great mass of men life is organized around work," it would necessarily follow that vocational guidance is of importance to the children of child. The cooled people of Baltimore should get much satisfaction out of the knowledge that such training is now open to their children.
